The Once and Future King is an Arthurian fantasy novel written by T. H. White. It was first published in 1958, and is mostly a composite of earlier works written between 1938 and 1941. The central theme is an exploration of human nature regarding power and justice, as the boy Arthur becomes king and attempts to quell the prevalent "might makes right" attitude with his idea of chivalry. But in the end, even chivalry comes undone since its justice is maintained by force.
The title comes from the inscription that, according to Le Morte d'Arthur, was said by "many men" to be written upon King Arthur's tomb: the internally rhymed hexameter Hic iacet Arthurus, rex quondam, rexque futurus – "Here lies Arthur, king once, and king to be".[1]
Plot introduction[edit]
Most of the book "takes place on the isle of Gramarye", and it chronicles the raising and educating of King Arthur, his rule as a king, and the romance between Sir Lancelot and Queen Guinevere. It ends immediately before Arthur's final battle against his illegitimate son Mordred. Though White admits his book's source material is loosely derived from Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur (The Death of Arthur), he reinterprets the epic events, filling them with renewed meaning for a world recovering from World War II.
The book is divided into four parts:
- The Sword in the Stone (1938)
- The Queen of Air and Darkness (1939) (published separately in somewhat different form as The Witch in the Wood)
- The Ill-Made Knight (1940) (which mainly deals with the character Lancelot)
- The Candle in the Wind (first published in the composite edition, 1958)
A final part called The Book of Merlyn (written 1941, published 1977) was published separately (ISBN 0-292-70769-X) following White's death. It chronicles Arthur's final lessons from Merlin before his death, although some parts of it were incorporated into the final editions of the previous books.
An oft-quoted passage from the book is the story that the badger calls his "dissertation", a retelling of the Creation story from Genesis.
The story starts in the last years of the rule of king Uther Pendragon. The first part, The Sword in the Stone, chronicles Arthur's upbringing by his foster father Sir Ector, his rivalry and friendship with his foster brother Kay, and his initial training by Merlin, a wizard who lives through time backwards. Merlin, knowing the boy's destiny, teaches Arthur (known as "Wart") what it means to be a good king by turning him into various kinds of animals: fish, hawk, ant, goose, and badger. Each of the transformations is meant to teach Wart a lesson, which will prepare him for his future life.
Merlin instills in Arthur the concept that the only justifiable reason for war is to prevent another from going to war, and that contemporary human governments and powerful people exemplify the worst aspects of the rule of Might.
Neither the ant nor goose episodes were in the original Sword in the Stone when it was published as a stand-alone book. The original novel also contains a battle between Merlin and sorceress Madam Mim that was not included in The Once and Future King but was included in the Disney film.
In part two, The Queen of Air and Darkness, White sets the stage for Arthur's demise by introducing the Orkney clan and detailing Arthur's seduction by their mother, his half-sister Morgause. While the young king suppresses initial rebellions, Merlin leads him to envision a means of harnessing potentially destructive Might for the cause of Right: the Round Table.
The third part, The Ill-Made Knight, shifts focus from King Arthur to the story of Sir Lancelot and Queen Guinevere's forbidden love, the means they go through to hide their affair from the King (although he already knows of it from Merlin), and its effect on Elaine, Lancelot's sometime lover and the mother of his son Galahad.
The Candle in the Wind unites these narrative threads by telling how Mordred's hatred of his father and Agravaine's hatred of Sir Lancelot caused the eventual downfall of King Arthur, Queen Guinevere, Sir Lancelot, and the entire ideal kingdom of Camelot.
The book begins as a quite light-hearted account of the young Arthur's adventures, and King Pellinore's interminable search for the Questing Beast. Parts of The Sword in the Stone read almost as a parody of the traditional Arthurian legend by virtue of White's prose style, which relies heavily on anachronisms. However, the tale gradually changes tone until Ill-Made Knight becomes more meditative and The Candle in the Wind finds Arthur brooding over death and his legacy.
Characterization in the work[edit]
Perhaps most striking about White's work is how he reinterprets the traditional Arthurian characters, often giving them motivations or traits more complex or even contradictory to those in earlier versions of the legend. For example:
- Arthur evolves from a fallible but inquisitive and enthusiastic youth ("the Wart") to an individualized and psychologically complex man.[2]
- Lancelot is no longer the handsome knight typical in the romantic legends but is instead portrayed as the ugliest of Arthur's Knights. He is also a sadist, a trait he represses, but which leads to bouts of self-loathing. He seeks to overcome his flaws through full devotion towards becoming Arthur's greatest knight.
- Merlin lives through time backwards, making him a bumbling yet wise old man who is getting younger.
- Sir Galahad is not well liked by many of the Knights as he is truly perfect – to the point of being 'inhuman'.
White allows Thomas Malory to have a cameo appearance towards the end of the final book. Also of note is his treatment of historical characters and kings as mythological within the world that he creates. In addition, due to his living backwards, Merlin makes many anachronistic allusions to events in more recent times; of note are references to World War II, telegraphs, tanks, and "an Austrian who … plunged the civilized world into misery and chaos" (i.e. Adolf Hitler).[3]
Floyd C. Gale praised The Sword in the Stone as "blithely comic and entirely delightful", stating that it was "in utter contrast to the mounting tragedy" of the other three volumes of the series.[4] Fantasy historian Lin Carter wrote, "... the single finest fantasy novel written in our time, or for that matter, ever written, is, must be, by any conceivable standard, T. H. White's The Once and Future King. I can hardly imagine that any mature, literate person who has read the book would disagree with this estimate. White is a great writer."[5]
Film, television, and theatrical adaptations[edit]
Although Walt Disney initially purchased the film rights to The Ill-Made Knight in 1944,[6] he eventually produced an adaptation of The Sword in the Stone, released in 1963. This movie reflects more the sense of humour of Disney's team of animators than White's. The movie adds a more comical side to the original story, including song and dance, as in most Walt Disney films. Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe's 1960 musical Camelot (which was made into a movie in 1967) is based mostly on the last two books of The Once and Future King, and features White's idea of having Thomas Malory make a cameo appearance at the end, again as "Tom of Warwick".
BBC Radio 4 serialised the book in six one-hour episodes dramatised by Brian Sibley beginning on Sunday 9 November 2014 with Paul Ready as Arthur and David Warner as Merlyn.[7]
Other references[edit]
- In the Marvel Universe, the X-Men comics mention The Once and Future King several times, notably in the first issue of the "X-Tinction Agenda" story arc, which mentions that the book is Professor X's favorite, and that Xavier always saw himself as Merlin, the teacher guiding the hero(es), rather than as a hero himself. In the Ultimate X-Men comics, the book is a metaphor for Magneto, an extremely powerful mutant terrorist. This is carried over into the 2003 film X2: X-Men United, which begins one scene with Magneto reading the first edition of The Once and Future King in his prison cell. At the end of the film, Xavier is using the book as a teaching tool. It is mentioned again in Ultimate Comics Spider-Man.
- In Rodman Philbrick's "Freak the Mighty", Max Kane and Kevin Dillon bond through the book; and, inspired by Dillon's fits of fancy, the two embark on a quest to embody the heroic qualities of King Arthur.
- In Bobby (2006) Edward Robinson (Laurence Fishburne) relates the novel's depiction of King Arthur to the selfless and chivalrous qualities of Jose Rojas (Freddy Rodriguez).
- The Magicians by Lev Grossman includes a long sequence where magicians-in-training are transformed into geese, a "direct and loving homage" to Wart's transformation in The Sword in the Stone.[8]
- George A. Romero's film Knightriders references The Once and Future King as the inspiration for a traveling Camelot of motorcycle-riding knights aspiring to the code of chivalry.
- The animated series Gargoyles references The Once and Future King when King Arthur is awakened in Avalon.
- The TV series Merlin talks about The Once and Future King throughout the series, the first time said by the Great Dragon to Merlin about his destiny.
- The film The World's End draws heavily on White's work, with aspects of the story mirroring Arthurian legends and the main character, Gary King, referring to himself early on as "the once and future King".

Milky Way Cake
I have to say, this cake is kind of ridiculous.
But I have to say something else: ridiculous cakes are the best cakes.
I have an aunt. Her name is Carol Sue. I love her so much for so many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that she's always smiling…and she has the best smile. I also love Carol Sue because she made me this recipe book many, many years ago, and filled it all of her favorite recipes she'd cooked and baked through the years.
Yesterday, I made this. I'd never made it before, and I'd always wanted to. I'd always wanted to, because…well…not to put too fine a point on it…
It contains, like, fifty thousand Milky Way bars.
And that's all the reason I need.
In addition to the forty million Milky Way bars, you'll also need flour…
Margarine. Also known as oleo.
Sugar. Not shown because I'm a dorkwad airhead.
And milk. Not shown, because I'm an airhead dorkwad.
Okay, here come the serious part: melting the Milky Ways…
I'm making t-shirts that read "Bring Back Oleo." Place your orders now, as I expect them to disappear like hot cakes.
I'm also making t-shirts that read "Bring Back Hot Cakes."
I prefer vintage culinary terminology.
I prefer vintage everything.
It'll look really grody as it's melting…
But it won't take long before it all makes perfect sense.
Next, add sugar and more oleo to the bowl.
Yes, I said oleo. I'm practicing what I preach.
Then add the eggs one at a time.
Mix it together until all combined.
Sift together the flour and the salt.
Mount St. Carb! I'm so happy to see you again.
Add some baking soda to the buttermilk. Look outside. See that your dog has an armadillo in its mouth. Reflect on what has brought you to this point. Then move forward with the cake.
…and the flour mixture alternately, mixing until just combined.
Then close your eyes, make peace with yourself, and pour in the melted Milky Ways.
Mix until combined, scraping the sides once or twice in the process.
Turn off mixer. Stick your finger in the bowl. Scrape it up the side of the bowl, then bring it to your mouth. Lick the batter off your fingers. Don't feel sorry.
Note: Can use two fingers if necessary.
Pour the batter into a greased pan. The recipe calls for 9 x 13, but next time I make it I think I'll use a sheet pan or jelly roll pan for more even baking.
Or I might just eat the batter and forgo the cake altogether.
The cake bakes at 300 degrees, which is low and results in a moist, sticky cake.
Same temperature as my Grandma Iny's Prune Cake.
300 degrees is a vintage temperature.
To make the icing, make peace with yourself again, then throw three more Milky Ways with another stick of margarine into a saucepan.
Shocking, isn't it?
And enough milk to make it smooth and pourable. And vanilla, because vanilla is the secret weapon in everything. Except, like, anything savory.
Pour the icing over the cake. This is when I decided I'll do a sheet cake next time. Less poufing and acting up on the sides.
Now, if you're impatient like me and can't wait another second to get this evil decadence into your mouth, that's fine. But because the cake is so moist and gooey, you'll pretty much just have to spoon it into a bowl like a pudding.
Plop some whipped cream (unsweetened, for Pete's sake) on top and dig in. This is chewy and very moist. Wow.
If you're a little more restrained–and I'm not, but I have friends who are–you can wait awhile for the cake to set, then cut it into squares.
Or you can be like me…and take both approaches.
Enjoy this!
And thank you, Aunt Carol Sue, for sharing it with me.
And thank you for your smile. I love you so very much.
I'm having a little glitch that's preventing me from putting the printable here in the post, so here's a link to the printable recipe on Tasty Kitchen. (And it will give you a chance to see the new Tasty Kitchen design: yay!)

Lawsie mercy Miss Ree…
DaCook On Monday, May 23 at 11:06 pm
Lawsie is right! I have been making this for so many years that my recipe calls for six 5¢ candy bars!! Now that is an old recipe!!
Karen On Monday, May 30 at 5:53 pm
Wow…I went to the grocery store this morning to get the candy bars. I HAVE NOT purchased a candy bar in a long time and was stunned to see .90 per candy bar!
Side note: I did put this cake into a jelly roll pan and found you will have to back the baking time down. I should have pulled it out at 50 minutes but let it go 55 minutes. It is not the gooey mess I was looking for. Instead it is a completely baked cake. I think I would have preferred it to be gooey instead of what I got. It is not overdone by any means but I think gooey is the right texture to go for with this one.
LibbyP On Monday, June 6 at 5:47 pm
I made it in a jelly roll pan, too, and pulled it at 35 minutes. Toothpick in the middle (!) is clean and the top is golden brown. I should wait to post this until I've actually eaten the cake, but I'm having a hard time waiting until it cools before eating it. Posting this has given me something to do with my mind and hands while I wait!!

Debbie S. On Monday, May 23 at 8:28 am
Surprised you as a butter lover are using oleo. Is there a reason oleo is better than butter? Looks yummy!
ChrisofDan On Monday, May 23 at 12:21 pm
Back in the 50s and 60s home bakers were making changes by using oleo more than butter (the food industry pushed it back then–better shelf life, & they said better for you….). Lots of the old recipes you'll find have oleo instead of butter listed. You could easily use butter in this recipe or use half butter, half crisco (if you have to).
Valerie On Monday, May 23 at 1:39 pm
I made the cake with the oleo because once baked not much taste difference but the topping I made with butter just because I wanted to. Found the richness of the butter was great with the chocolate and caramel of the milky way.
cheri On Saturday, May 28 at 12:25 am
Love the word OLEO! I'm with you – bring the name back! Reminds me of my SIL (NOT a cook) wanting the chocolate cake recipe from my mom. The original said oleo and so that's what she copied. SIL called later wondering what oleo was – had gone to the store and asked everyone working there, and NO ONE knew what it was! Just needed to ask a more "mature" woman!
Bless her heart………

I am all for decadent desserts, but this has an ungodly amount of fat/calories. You are right to call it ridiculous. Unless, of course, you have a pack of ravenous male teenagers who need a gajillion calories a day. It's perfect for them.

mygalsal On Monday, May 23 at 8:46 am
The recipe my family has for this is so old it calls for 5 cent Milky Way bars! I bake it in a bundt pan and forego the icing. It is good the first day but slap yourself silly fantastic a day or two later.
Laura On Monday, May 23 at 8:47 am
I draw the line here, Ree! Love your website and your recipes, but there is nothing you can say or do to ever make me use margarine, even if you do try to color it with special words like, "vintage" to make it sound nostalgic and special. It isn't! The stuff is vile…. it's plain ol' disgusting stuff. But, I will make this cake with butter.
HuckleberryTerry On Monday, May 23 at 1:40 pm
…me too, Laura. The "healthy" version would be with butter ;D and I'll bet it's out of this world! (sorry, couldn't resist the pun).
katie o On Monday, May 23 at 8:48 am
Is it just me, or is the new TK site unfinished? All white background with no links on the sides, and you have to scroll forever like a blog? Wasn't sure if that's how it's supposed to be, or if it's my browser? If that's how it should be, seems much less user friendly.
Jen @ Jen Spends On Monday, May 23 at 8:48 am
I think I gained 30 pounds just reading this recipe. But boy does it look good. Maybe it's one of those things I'd try if I was told I had a day left to live.
Sally On Monday, May 23 at 8:50 am
IF I were to make this, which isn't likely, I'd use butter instead of margarine. For some reason, candy bar cakes have never appealed to me. I don't think I've ever been happier about that than right now!
Bobbie Ankney On Monday, May 23 at 8:53 am
Oh my goodness….that cake looks amazingly delicious…I will be making that for Memorial Day cookout! yum!
Erin Valenzuela On Wednesday, May 25 at 8:05 pm
My though exactly… feed it to the crowd at Memorial Day, that way I won't be tempted to eat the whole thing!!!

I LOVE MILKY WAY BARS! There is no doubt that I'm going to try this. YUM
Mandy On Monday, May 23 at 8:55 am
Forget the T-shirt idea — and the oleo. It's gotta be REAL BUTTER, baby!
Terry A. On Monday, May 23 at 8:58 am
Sorry, but I have to take a pass on this one. Just can't do that to my family.
Leigh Anne On Monday, May 23 at 9:59 am
yes! that's exactly what i thought. each serving of this 12 portion "cake" contains over 800 kcal (about half the calories an average woman should consume each day.) 40g fat and over 100g Carb. do what you will, but i love my family too much to feel them this – even on a special occasion.
happy and healthy On Saturday, July 2 at 4:56 pm
Really? why not just let people enjoy and keep your 'healthier and holier than thou" attitudes and comments to yourself? this is a cooking site and Ree has given fair warning.
Heidi On Monday, May 23 at 8:59 am
My family also has passed down a recipe very similar to this one – except our recipe includes a cream cheese icing that melts over the cake. It's delicious. I'll have to try this icing next time I make the cake!
Lisa On Monday, May 23 at 9:02 am
I have to make this cake. It's sounds SO worth the extra hours at the gym. My blog is already responsible for 10 lbs, and now I see this? Yikes..I can't pass this up. Making tomorrow for sure!
Kathy On Monday, May 23 at 9:02 am
I love this website. It makes me happy
Karisa On Monday, May 23 at 9:03 am
My Grandma also used to make this cake. And while I did recieve some of her cook books, what I really missed out on was the recipes that she had copied down in her own hand writting. It is so nice that I now have this recipe. And, I too, love the word "oleo" and look forward to seeing you use that word more often.
Heather at heathers dish On Monday, May 23 at 9:03 am
I think that I could use a little ridiculous in my life! Looks divine
Hillary B. On Monday, May 23 at 9:04 am
Can you substitute butter for the margarine? Will it change the taste or consistency?
Ricki On Monday, May 23 at 9:04 am
Oh my gravy, that looks soooooooo good!
Christy On Monday, May 23 at 9:06 am
I have the same recipe book that my grandmother put together with her recipes when I was 10! Can't wait to make this cake!
Nancy On Monday, May 23 at 9:06 am
Looks absolutely wonderful, except for the oleo part–may I please use butter instead. And, now this is not sour grapes talking just cause I didn't win one of those gorgeous yellow mixers, but am I the only one who finds the new Tasty Kitchen difficult to navigate? Just sayin…it's not so user friendly.

If I had a milk cow, I would go the extra mile and pour thick cream on top. My Grandma used to always put the cream in mason jars after separating the milk…no wonder we all have high cholesterol. Lord that cream was good on chocolate cake, oatmeal, etc

My mom has made Milky Way cake for years (JUST had it this weekend for my husbands birthday…its his fave cake). But she makes hers in a bundt pan and there's no 'sauce' on it – it is sweet….way dense…chewy..crispy, yummy, chewey good on the bottom (which is the top of the bundt) and SINFULLY good.
Bonnie from Louisiana On Monday, May 23 at 9:17 am
Oleo? Do you really have to make this cake with Oleo? Ree, can you use butter instead? (not like using 3 sticks of butter in 1 cake is any better….) but does it really have to be oleo?.. I'm not an oleo or margerine (same difference) fan… I'm just wondering..
AmyG On Monday, May 23 at 9:18 am
No way! this is my Grandmother's famous cake! :o)
I made it a few times. But hers has an extra step…it is made into 3 layers with a separate ganache between the layers before you add the icing. Too crazy, but really good. Yours is bit more manageable.
Becky On Monday, May 23 at 9:19 am
Seems a bit over the top, but I'm willing to give it a shot. I never liked Milky Ways until they came out with the dark chocolate version, so we'll have to see what the cake is like with that.
Erica @ In and Around Town On Monday, May 23 at 9:20 am
Wow that looks amazing! I mean what more of an excuse do you need to go buy a whole case of milky way bars…YUM
Kathy Wolf On Monday, May 23 at 9:21 am
Wow. That cake just looks amazing. I would name it Death by Milky Way but man does all that gooeyness and chocolate look amazingly good.
Jessica N On Monday, May 23 at 9:25 am

Sally JoJo On Monday, May 23 at 9:26 am
I made a couple of those same recipe books, one for my Mom and a couple for friends. . . unfortunately, forgot to make one for myself! My Mom used to make Snicker cake, but it doesn't sound as richly sinful as this one. I'm thinking this will be on the menu for my next monthly binge day

Oh, man, this would be the PERFECT treat to our soon-to-end study of space. The kids and I ate Milky Way candy bars while we learned about the Milky Way, but that clearly wasn't enough chocolate and sugar in our space studies. We need more!
Linda H On Monday, May 23 at 9:33 am
Okay, I figured out the WW points. It's not as bad as I thought it was, only 22 points for a serving. If you make it 16 servings instead of 12…. you can get it down to 17 points. I made the pig cake and that cake came in at 8 points. Ree you make me think of my Mom, she always called it Oleo. I miss her and your comments make me smile. Thanks

OK well, as long as we're talking candy bars and actual food in the same sentence… here's one of my (grown) kid's favorite "salad" recipes (I can TOO call it a salad. It has fruit in it!)
Three apples, chopped in 1/2″ pieces
16 oz tub Cool Whip
Four Snickers bars cut into 1/2″ pieces
It'll get them to eat their fruit every time. Because the Snickers need to be "taste-tested" every single time, they really don't get THAT much candy in their salad servings

Wartime fun as living history actors descend on Tutbury Castle
Posted: May 27, 2014|
VISITORS to Tutbury Castle took a step back to wartime Britain this bank holiday weekend, during a 1940s event at the site.
Hundreds of people braved the rain to head to the medieval castle and soak up the atmosphere over the three-day period.
Re-enactors from all sides of the second world war conflict came together to dress up and show off their military paraphernalia during the annual event.
Castle curator Lesley Smith said: "We had people dressed as soldiers from Britain, Germany, France, Canada, America – everywhere.
"We even had an English bobby from the 1940s, which was great.
"It all went very well. It was a very nice patriotic weekend and I'm pleased with how it went."
There was live wartime music and dancing, and a swing dance on Sunday night went down a treat. Vintage vehicles and other things were also on display.
A flag ceremony took place to honour those who lost their lives at war.

If you're interested in a MSC online and don't mind if it's from a UK university, you might want to check out the University of Liverpool. I think they will accept you on this one. Price was around 18,000 GBP 4 years ago. Some modules are a breeze but others are a PITA; the modules involving group work can be an interesting experience or a really painful one, depending on your group. Their collaboration tools were message boards and crappy Java-based chats and whiteboards; a few fellow students couldn't use voice chat or better collaboration tools because of Internet censorship in their countries, and some other students were rather incompetent. Once you start a module, you're committed to turn out weekly assignments for eight consecutive weeks. They claim you can complete it dedicating between 10 and 20 hours a week, but prepare to work more if you're unlucky.
So I'm not exactly selling it but if you're interested don't be put off; my experience is anecdotal and their website looks pretty different now, everything might have changed. Ask around if you can (I think they have a forum on LinkedIn).

The New York Times on the Tea Party Movement
The Tea Party movement is a bunch of racist gun nuts, the New York Times more or less concludes in a long article published today:
As for the Tea Party types themselves, they are keeping busy, according to the Times:
The whole thing is sad; that the Times seems unable to give a reasonably sympathetic hearing to Americans mad at Wall Street, Washington, Republicans and Democrats but instead travels to Idaho to interview and emphasize what it depicts as a particularly strange group of them; that those Americans angry at both political parties would channel their anger toward immigrants; that minorities would feel intimidated by Americans mad at Wall Street, Washington, Republicans and Democrats. The Times doesn't get into the question of how anti-immigrant and how heavily armed the average non-Tea Party-activist Idaho resident is. Nor does it get into the fact that a certain set of wild-eyed true believers who don't appear normal to outsiders tends to exist on the fringes of just about every mass movement, from the AFL-CIO to the Obama campaign.

The New York Legislature is trying to tighten controls over the state's preschool program for disabled children, the cost of which has soared to $2 billion annually.
The State Senate and Assembly unanimously approved a bill last week that would require audits of every special-education prekindergarten contractor by 2018.
The bill was proposed by State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli after a series of audits by his office and articles in The New York Times highlighted soaring costs, poor regulation and other problems in the state's special-education prekindergarten system, the most expensive in the country. Contractors have charged taxpayers for overseas vacations, spa trips, jewelry, groceries and home renovations; hired relatives for no-show jobs; given themselves exorbitant salaries and perks like luxury cars; billed for services they never provided; or lived in other parts of the country and rarely showed up for work, the audits and reports found.
The Times revealed how some prekindergarten evaluators appeared to be distorting their assessments of children to justify expensive instruction provided by their own companies.

BANGKOK (AlertNet) – Food and shelter are the most urgent needs for families affected by the 6.8-magnitude earthquake which struck central Myanmar on Sunday morning, an officer for the Myanmar Red Cross told AlertNet on Tuesday.
The death toll from the quake, which hit about 37 miles (60km) northwest of Myanmar's second-biggest city, Mandalay, has risen to 26 people, according to a Bangkok-based spokesperson for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). Another 231 people were injured.
More than 450 buildings were also damaged. It was also felt in Thailand and other neighbouring countries.
Aftershocks continued to rattle residents in central Myanmar on Monday but none were felt on Tuesday, Phone Kyaw, who is responsible for the Red Cross volunteers in Mandalay, said over the phone from there.
"Many people in towns and villages are scared to stay in their houses so they are staying out in the open in makeshift structures with tarpaulin roofs," he said. There are about 100 households living like this in Thabeik Kyin, one of the seven most affected townships, he said.
"Villages that haven't been affected by the quake have been helping with food but what the (quake victims) most urgently need are food and shelter," he added.
State television reported another earthquake near Myanmar's new capital Naypyitaw on Tuesday although there were no immediate reports of damage.
MRTV television said the new quake of 4.8-magnitude hit at 8:23 a.m. (0153 GMT). Its epicentre was about 35 miles (56 km) south of the capital.
In 2008 humanitarian agencies condemned the then-military junta for initially refusing international help to cope with Cyclone Nargis. One of the worst natural disasters in Myanmar's recent history, it killed more than 130,000 people.
A quasi-civilian government which took over in March 2011 has opened up the country to both humanitarian aid agencies and investors since then.

How you can benefit from this established marketing practice.
Article marketing isn't about to go away. You probably knew that, but what you might not know is why this form of "getting the word out" still works.
Marketing Expertise
I consider myself an expert of sorts in article marketing. Beginning in 2005, I was hired by a client to write articles for his business and post those articles to various marketing directories, but especially to EzineArticles. "Ezine" is owned by Christopher Knight and if there is any one person who knows article marketing better than Knight, then I haven't met him. Come to think of it I haven't met Knight either. Moving on….
Seven years later, I have scads of articles posted to directories. At one point I was No. 10 on EzineArticles' list, but eventually I shifted my sites to magazines, blogs and websites. Yes, I was paid to write for the directories and to post those articles. Maybe I should change my tense here because I still market articles on a regular basis. These days I write about a dozen articles each month for EzineArticles and other sites for my clients.
I thought article marketing would eventually fade away, but at this point in the game, I still see benefit from having original and interesting articles posted to other sites and picked up, with backlinks intact and posted elsewhere.
Article Marketing
Here is why article marketing will continue to thrive over the next few years:
1. It is free content — Even if an article is eventually posted to multiple sites, the people who are doing the posting are getting free content. Sure, you NEVER want to rely exclusively on content used available for use elsewhere, but with article directories you can find some good reads to include on your site. In exchange, you're expected to keep the links in the "author's resource" section in place.
2. Authors can build a name for themselves — If everyone knows who you are, then article marketing won't matter to you. For people who want to make a name for themselves or desire to expand their base, then writing several quality articles and offering these to the directories makes sense. The alternative is to find a website to host these articles, but that doesn't always work out. Besides, if you want multiple backlinks, then article marketing is the fastest way to gain these.
3. You don't have to be a writer — Writing for the article directories is one way people who aren't especially good at writing can hone their skills. Of course, that means some of the articles submitted to and accepted by the directories aren't first-rate. Still, if you are looking for an audience and can't afford the services of a copywriter, then the article submission route is a very good way to go.
4. Your article stays in place always — This is where you need to be careful about submitting your articles. Use a directory that isn't proven or regularly updated and you'll risk that your article will someday disappear. Personally, I don't count who picks up my articles and where they get republished — I'm satisfied that the article directory has a copy and that copy will continue to send links back to my sites or my customers' sites for years to come. Choose only an established directory and avoid those with little to no standards.
5. You'll get new business — As a writer, I know my articles have brought in new business for me. As for my clients, they're satisfied on two fronts: 1) backlinks are gradually built up and, 2) more customers find their websites. What they pay for my services is a cost they'll need to recoup. I'm confident that my services are a moneymaker for them, otherwise why am I still doing article marketing?
Final Thoughts
One bit of advice that should be used is this: when you market your articles, submit what you write to just one directory. Multiple submits are a waste of time — find a directory or two or three that you like and send your articles there. Keep track of your articles including how many times each article is picked up and redistributed. Work on writing catchy titles, use your keywords wisely and put in place your sub-heads too.

beggining balance on spread sheet
by kevenhughes, Window Shopper
- Created: January 28, 2013, 1:29 pm
i have worked through the online temlpate in an effort to make a business plan. I am starting the balance sheet the first box "cash in bank" has a note saying it must match the cash flow cash position of the 3rd year but the balance sheet is for the first year. I do not understand.
JGabriel | Community Moderator | 1/29/2013 - 10:18 am
This is just one of the suggestions; the Balance Sheet isn't actually set for one year. You can enter any amount of time in the Start Date and End Date fields on the Balance Sheet. This validation was recommended because the Balance Sheet usually displays information up to three years and is a standard validation for business plans. Hope this helps!

The Deepwater Rig Disaster
The scale was enormous but environmental damage could equally destroy smaller businesses.
A year ago, it would have been inconceivable that BP, the largest British listed company could face financial meltdown in the next 12 months. Yet, for a period in the early summer, there were doubts whether the business could survive the disastrous oil leakage in the Gulf of Mexico. The costs of the disaster covering the rig itself clean up costs and potential loss of profits and compensation claims, threatened to overwhelm the company. Strict liability for environmental damage meant that, initially, BP has to bear all the costs before it can begin to try to recover some from other parties. There are still threats of criminal prosecutions and huge fines. There was enormous damage to the reputation of the business that, even now, could have far reaching consequences for the future of the business. The total economic loss for BP could still be $50bn and whilst it will now survive, the business will never be the same.BP may have limited insurance cover but the vast amount of the loss has had to be borne by them.
The scale of the event is mind blowing but is a lesson for all businesses, especially those who handle or store substances that can cause pollution or occupy premises where a previous usage may still cause problems. A business that causes environmental damage is strictly liable in the UK without any defence. The maxim is 'the polluter pays'. Whilst a loss on the scale of BP is inconceivable, businesses can still face huge costs if they cause pollution. Insurance cover under normal policies may be limited. Any claims arising out of a gradual pollution is unlikely to be covered and whilst Liability policies may cover sudden and unforeseen pollution, cover could be limited for clean up and any potential financial claims. Policies may be in place to cover any prosecution costs but not any fines imposed.
There are specialist covers available for environmental impairment risks and these should be considered for any business where a potential hazard exists. BP may be an extreme example but a small company could be equally threatened as a result of a leaking tank, an unfortunate spillage or a long forgotten disposal of materials which were considered harmless then but now regarded as toxic.
Sep 2010
Weather Report
We have been suffered some of the worst UK weather conditions ever experienced, with temperatures in parts reaching as low as minus 23 degrees. With a spate of burst pipe claims to be expected we believe it would be useful to pass on some advice to pass about how to cope with any resulting damage.
Dealing with Burst Pipes
Burst pipes are classed as water emergencies and they can cause serious damage to a home's orbusiness premise's structure and electrical wiring. Upon discovering a burst pipe the following remedial steps are recommended.
1. Turn off the water supply
- Turn off the main stop tap (stop cock). This is normally situated under the kitchen sink or where the service pipe enters your home.
- Drain the system – turn on your cold kitchen tap. This should run momentarily and then stop. Has the burst subsided?
- If water has been leaking through for sometime and the ceilings are bulging – be careful, rooms may not be safe to enter.
- If you notice the leak quickly you can catch dripping water in buckets. Make a hole in the ceiling to let water out if it starts to bulge.
2. Turn off the water heating systems
- Switch off the central heating, immersion heater and any other water heating systems.
- If the central heating uses solid fuel, let this die out.
- Once water heating has shut down, turn on the hot taps to help drain the system.
3. Turn off the electrics
- Switch off the central heating, immersion heater and any other water heating systems.
- If the central heating uses solid fuel, let this die out.
- Once water heating has shut down, turn on the hot taps to help drain the system.
4. Call a professional to repair the damage
A professional must be called in if electrical wiring becomes damaged by water.
19 January 2010
Brokers exist to help their clients but to give the very best service, we need help from our clients too.
Something unexpected – a bad debt, floods, one of a dozen perils or a major lawsuit – could damage or even destroy your business.
Sadly when the general economy is struggling, businesses are even more at risk from legal action and claims.
To help you, your broker must be made aware as soon as possible of all relevant changes in your business in order to avoid last-minute panics.
The prompt provision of key information should ensure that no final decisions need to be taken before you fully understand their likely impact on risks and insurance premiums.
In any of the following cases, one quick call to a broker could save money and prevent expensive mistakes.
Buying a business
The broker should be involved in the due diligence process. A detailed examination of the business is all the more important at a time of rising premiums. There may also be undisclosed liabilities or particular areas of business that will prove hard to cover at a reasonable price.
Selling a business
The impact of disposing of a business on your existing insurance programme could be unexpected and extreme. Cover may be necessary to protect against late-reported claims. Sometimes 'hold harmless' agreements – indemnities or warranties against unforeseen past losses that suddenly surface – may leave liabilities which call for extra insurance.
Buying and building new premises, moving or extending existing premises
Sometimes these will be unsuitable for the use you intend. Insurers may ask for costly improvements, such as fire doors and security equipment, and architects may not fully appreciate what' the insurers require. Small changes to the plans in advance could substantially reduce premiums.
New contracts and developments
Any new contracts could affect your insurance programme by introducing new risks that require cover and management. Wherever possible, these should be assessed by a broker before any documents are signed.
Entering new markets and launching new products
Insuring exports to some countries can prove expensive, and the supply of goods or services to particular sectors may bring insurance problems. New products or service may also have a fundamental impact on your insurance arrangements. The broker should be involved in the evaluation process.
Police withdrawing support
The police sometimes withdraw support for monitoring alarm calls. It is vital that you inform your broker immediately as cover is unlikely to operate.
Taking on major new suppliers and customers
New contracts may impose extra liabilities as well as adding to the risks your business must consider.
New plant and equipment
Existing insurance may be inadequate and special cover could be necessary. A new process could mean an increase in premiums or breach a condition in your current policy.
New drivers or cars
Employing a young driver or purchasing an expensive or valuable vehicle could affect your motor fleet insurance. It's wise to discuss changes in recruitment and vehicle policies in advance. Help us to do an even better job. Keep us informed.
Call Stephen Hegarty at BJP Insurance Brokers for better cover at lower prices and to discuss all your insurance needs on 0118 979 2121.

Utewrap: The week in Utah sports, May 19-25
As the sands shift in college athletics, the Pac-12 — and by extension, Utah — is trying to maintain firm footing. This week, U. President David Pershing was among the Pac-12 leaders who signed a letter in support of the NCAA's proposal to grant autonomy to athletics' most prominent conferences, and Pac-12 Commissioner sat down with Big Ten counterpart Jim Delaney to talk future.
Baseball • The Utes wrapped up a disappointing 2014 campaign Sunday, losing twice in a doubleheader for a Stanford sweep. Now they'll wait to see what happens June 5 at the MLB draft. Utes coach Bill Kinneberg said Sunday he expects between two and five players to be selected, including junior hurler Mitch Watrous. The Tribune also caught up this week with former Ute C.J. Cron, who wasted no time making an impression with the Los Angeles Angels.
On deck: Season over.
Women's track and field • No action this week, but eight members of the U.'s track team qualified for preliminaries. Those include Rosalie Waller and Ali Esienbeiss (800 meters), Susannah Hurst and Rebekah Winterton (10K and 5K), Alyssa Johnson (qualified in 400m but will not compete due to injury), Aoife Hickey and Ilse Kaaja (hammer), and Nikkie Rudder (shot put).
On deck: NCAA preliminaries (May 29-31 in Fayetteville, Ark.)
Men's basketball • Although we're still awaiting the Runnin' Utes' full nonconference schedule, another school's tweet indicates you can bet they'll face UNLV on Dec. 20 at the MGM Grand. The list of known opponents also includes Kansas, Wichita State and BYU. We also know one team the Utes won't face: the Aggies. And before the season even starts, Larry Krystkowiak, Brandon Taylor, Jordan Loveridge and Jeremy Olsen will rack up some miles on a 10-day Pac-12 tour in China. The Tribune also acquired details of Krystkowiak's $8.3 million five-year contract.
On deck: Season over.
Football • A study revealed that while the Utes fared better than any other non-automatic qualifier except TCU, the BCS era resulted in a major financial advantage for schools in the largest conferences. Also this week, Ute defensive tackle L.T. Tuipulotu was signed to an undrafted free agent deal by the New England Patriots, and Keith McGill talked about his learning curve at corner in Oakland.
On deck: Season over.

If you're visiting the website regularly, you might already know that we don't really post any dubstep on Nite Versions. Well, this is a different situation.
Voodoo Farm is a NYC based dubstep producer that just unveiled a new version of his 2011 remix for Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through The Grapevine". The new edit is very funky and totally dancefloor-ready.
