Between 1994 and 2004 I operated my business and studios out of a huge 3 floor brownstone building above a century old funeral home in Times Square, NYC.
During this time I was running a technology consulting firm as well as had acquired a large music recording and rehearsal studio.
There was a fantastical array of people and personalities that visited, worked and traveled through that facility over the years, especially on weekends when we would usually have an open house and there never seemed to be a lack of a wide variety of unique artists and musicians around as well as computer geeks, actors & actresses and business folks alike.
Presented here is a beautiful collection of captured photographs presenting the artists and personalities that have worked or traveled through Havlock Studios, NYC throughout the years, photography by Daniel Falgerho.
I am forever grateful for my own interactions with all these people and personas as well as for my great friend Daniel Falgerho to have captured these special moments.

Skill premium and trade puzzles: A solution linking production factors and demand
International trade theory is a general-equilibrium discipline, yet most of the standard portfolio of research focuses on the production side of general equilibrium. In addition, we do not have a good understanding of the relationship between characteristics of goods in production and characteristics of preferences. This paper conducts an empirical investigation into the relationship between a good's factor intensity in production and its income elasticity of demand in consumption. In particular, we nd a strong and signicant positive relationship between skilled-labor intensity in production and income-elasticity of demand for several types of preferences, with and without accounting for trade costs and dierences in prices. Counter-factual simulations yield a number of results. We can explain one third or more of "missing trade", and show an important role for per-capita income in understanding trade/GDP ratios, the choice of trading partners, and the composition of trade. Furthermore, an equal rise in productivity in all sectors in all countries leads to a rising skill premium in all countries, with particularly large increases in developing countries.

LONDON, Dec 14 (Reuters) - British Brexit minister David Davis said on Wednesday the government would do all it could to make sure business gets the maximum access to the European Union's single market while minimising disruption in its talks with the bloc.
Davis also said the government was still doing policy work to prepare for the negotiations with the EU and had yet to take all of its decisions, but did not rule out the possibility of a "transitional arrangement" to help business avoid a cliff edge after two years of talks.
"Whatever the transitional arrangement is, we need to know where we're going before we decide on the transition," he told lawmakers at a question-and-answer session.
"It seems to me that it will be perfectly possible to know what the end game will be in two years." (Reporting by Elizabeth Piper; Editing by Elisabeth O'Leary)

Make sure you're sitting down for this announcement, and maybe even grab a box of tissue because there's about to be a lot of tears going on here soon…
We just got word that there is a high possibility that Queen Michelle Obama will be running for Senate once her husband and our 'lead from behind' President Obama leaves office in January.
Sorry. I know this has most likely ruined your day…for some of you, your life. But now you know, and knowledge is power.
This was speculation until the DNC fueled it when they started throwing their sales pitch on Michelle Obama bumper stickers this week.
This was of course in response to her DNC speech that people were so in 'awe' about. The woman puts on a good show apparently.
Now Democrats are supposedly pushing Michelle to run for Senate in her home state of Illinois.
Although there is also word that her good friend Valerie Jarrett, an advisor to the president will be the one running for the position.
However knowing our luck with the Obamas, it will in fact be Michelle…because they suck like that.
With Michelle rumored to follow in the footsteps of Hillary Clinton, by running for Senate…people are starting to whisper about the possibility of her even running for President one day. Of course, when that happens… they better have space shuttles, shuttling folks to other inhabitable planets cause there is no way I'll live through President M. Obama's reign…
Hillary Clinton went from first lady to the senate, to becoming the freaking secretary of state. So Michelle doing the samething is not too far off base, except for the fact that Michelle has always made it clear she does not like politics and does what she does for her husband out of duty, and belief that she has in him that he can make a change.
He sure can make change. Like men thinking they are women, women thinking they are men…and Police Officers somehow becoming criminals while the ACTUAL criminals have now become the victims. You know, the kind of change that kills innocent people and spreads hatred across our nation like the plague.
But…I digress.
Come January, we shall see what Michelle decides to do. Anything can happen when you're talking about Democrats…they are always scheming something up and what you see is NEVER what you get.
Except for Hillary. She is evil…and does very good at looking the part too.

They also offer mustard and turnip greens, peas, onions, squash and cucumbers beginning in May. Insider's tip: The farm is closed on Sundays, so plan your visit accordingly. If you're unable to visit the farm, keep in mind that Beechwood Farms produce can be found at local farmer's markets like the Hub City Farmer's Market in Inman and the TD Saturday Market in downtown Greenville.

The grass is always dying
Do the writhing roots long to be branches?
Do some dream of being flag poles
and others aspire to be broom handles?
And if they so, could they ever grow true?
Or would a root erupting into an aimless sky
be confused by the lack of goals
and braid itself into a knot
just as it succumbed to tangled constipation
when chasing every delicious morsel of loam?
Is it set that those who nurture
must forever be
buried in their own meanders?
If so, then I decree that those who rise like trunks
shall provide my board
and them that tie the soil together
shall weave me a home for my second life
that I may continue for ever in my nature.

Music is certainly one of man's noblest and most powerful mediums of communication. Great music is TRUTH itself. A 'kamalamba navavarna' kriti of Dikshitar, a 'Goldberg Variations' of Bach, a 'Hammerklavier' sonata of Beethoven or a 'Love Supreme' of John Coltrane are all equally powerful musical statements, though in very varied styles.
It has been a magical mystery tour for me, exploring the oneness that characterises great musical forms like Carnatic music, Western classical music and Jazz. In this context, it pains me to see Carnatic musicians dismissing Western music under the most trivial pretext that it has only 'plain notes' and 'Western musicians' sometimes dismissing Carnatic music because it has no 'harmony' (neither of it is true incidentally).
Turning into a professional Carnatic musician after being a rock guitarist playing the likes of Santana and Deep Purple may not be very common, but for me it was a very natural process. Today, with a lot more exposure, study and performing experience in Carnatic music and multiple forms of contemporary western music including European classical music, jazz, blues, rock, funk, latin etc, I am happy to see that music has always been a unifying force and never a divisive force within me.
My studies at the Berklee College of music in the US opened me up to a whole new world. My intense passion for Jazz improvisation and Western Classical Composition and my training in Carnatic music, proved to be invaluable assets in my unraveling some of the mysteries of Western music.
When I write my Classical compositions whether it's a String Quartet or a symphonic work or Jazz compositions whether it's for a trio, quartet or a big band, Carnatic music demands itself to be there yet without forcing itself into them in a superficial way.
It may be relevant here to point out Carnatic music is virtually unknown outside of India except in very selected academic and world music circles. I have taken it up as my mission to do as much as I can, in changing this scenario. I have been trying to do this in two ways- 1) presenting carnatic music, as it should be and 2) presenting carnatic music with integrity inside a larger context of western music- both in improvisation and composition.
In this respect, I should mention that it was a rare and touching experience for me performing before a packed audience of around 1400 people in a town called Fairbanks in Alaska (the town had 20 Indian families). I not only feel honoured to have been the first ever Indian to have performed there, but also about the fact that the first strains of Indian music that ever echoed in a concert hall there, belonged to Dikshitar and Tyagaraja (for once!). It was an equally memorable experience for me to premiere Marc Rossi's specially composed 'Concerto for carnatic guitar and jazz orchestra' in Boston.
And so, the journey continues........

Error with subscription payments - Start Date should be greater than current dateAsked by TheHiveNZ on February 27, 2015 at 08:37 PM
I have just created a special form for my advertisers to set up automatic payments for my advertising packs.
However, when they go to pay currently it gives the error as shown in the attachement.
I am located in New Zealand - I did have that timezone set up in my Jotform account and also have it in my paypal account.
But I changed it in Jotform to the same timezone as PayPal's own timezone thinking that it might help
Unfortunately it did not....
Any ideas?
JotForm Support
Hi there,
Do you know when would this error message appears? Is it after hitting the submit button in the form?
I checked your form and fill it up and I was able to submit, it goes straight to the Paypal page. I understand that you already adjusted the timezone on your JotForm and Paypal account, but it is possible that there is an issue in your browser.
What browser are you using? Please clear your browser's cache. Disable any unnecessary extensions or add-ons. Please try using another browser.
I will now clear your forms cache so that they will be refreshed from our servers. Let us know what happen so that we can further investigate the issue.
Thank you.
it is after hitting submit, it actually take you to PayPal where you can enter your details but then when you hit the button to pay it takes you to the error screen.
We tried it on phones, tablets, different browsers - it still happens
I did a bit of research and it appears that if the time and date on your server is not correct it could definitely result in something of this nature.
I would suggest checking your server to ensure that the time and timezone correspond with the settings you have in your PayPal account.
You might need to get in touch with your host for assistance. Please give that a try and let us know the outcome.

Most Ouran fanfics have a girl who meets the host club and fall in love with the boys or the boys fall in love with them. However, this story is different.
American girl Bianca knows how to speak 10 languages, got perfect scores on her finals, and could tell you what happened in any day in history. (That's because she has way too much free time.) All that studying paid off when she gets accepted to the elite and extremely exclusive school of Ouran Academy. She expects to be bored to tears at this school, and she couldn't be any more wrong...
Disclaimer: I do not own anyone or anything about Ouran Highschool Host Club. The story's concept and Bianca are the only things I own in this story. Thank you.

John Wilson knows his history and he knows his storytelling. Somebody should have given Wilson a literary prize long before now. But he's not much of a hobnobber over there on Vancouver Island, and so he persists, under-recognized.
Born in Edinburgh, Scotland on August 2, 1951, John Wilson, author of approximately forty books, grew up on the Island of Skye and in Paisley, near Glasgow. His parents had lived most of their lives in India. He earned his Honours B.Sc. in Geology from St. Andrew's University and went to work for the Geological Survey of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). Unwilling to consider military service there, he eventually resettled in Calgary, working in gas and oil exploration.
In 1986, as a geologist in Edmonton, John Wilson decided he wasn't travelling enough, so he sold his sports car, took a leave of absence and began to travel around the world, His grand tour took him to Japan, Thailand, Egypt, Greece, Italy, France and Spain. When he returned home, he had difficulty readjusting to the routine of a regular work schedule. A feature article he had sold to The Globe and Mail sparked a desire to write, so he quit his job and became a full-time freelance writer.
From 1995 to 2003, John Wilson published 16 titles, including one adult novel. He also published more than 300 feature articles and essays, 30 poems and numerous book reviews. Wilson has taught English at Malaspina University-College in Nanaimo and he gives readings and workshops at schools and conferences across Canada. He specializes in making history come alive for kids.
In Wilson's Flames of the Tiger (Kids Can 2003 $7.95), a German teenager seduced by the pomp of Hitlers rise is called upon to fight. With Berlin in ruins and the Russian army on its way, he helps a badly wounded Canadian soldier, telling the man his life story to help keep him conscious. As dawn breaks, the soldier recovers and helps Dieter and his sister survive. Details in Flames of the Tigerlike flaming horses running in terror and a soldiers description of Belsenare not for the squeamish.It is not my intention to apologize for the Nazis, says Wilson. They, and particularly the SS, richly deserve the abhorrence that the civilized world feels for the values they held and the atrocities they committed. What I have tried to do is imagine what it was like for those who came of age in the 1930s and 40s, indoctrinated from earliest days and swept up in circumstances they could never understand. To have been a teenager in Nazi Germany must have been immensely difficult, and to expect one to have had a rational post-war perspective is unreasonable. The lure of uniforms and flags and the flood of propaganda must have been next to irresistible. Dieter is probably exceptional for questioning as much as he does.
Wilson says if theres an underlying message for his adventure story, its to always question what people tell you is a self-evident truth, especially when everyone tells you the same thing.
Set during the American Civil War, The Flags of War (2004) concerns two cousins, one American and one Canadian. As the son of a plantation owner, Nate McGregor fights for the South; whereas his cousin Walt in Canada opposes slavery. When a Confederate ship named the Trent, with British envoys aboard, is seized by the Union, Britain and her colonies are on the verge of joining the American Civil War and fighting for Dixie--and this puts Canada in danger of an invasion from the Union Army. The lives of the cousins become linked by a runaway slave named Sunday from Nate's father's plantation. John Wilson's sequel Battle Scars (2005) occurs after the Battle of Shiloh when both Sunday and Walt, who have both re-enlisted, meet Nate at the Libby prison in Virginia where Nate is a guard. Under these grim circumstances, the guard, the prisoner and the slave must reconcile their personal, political and racial differences.
Set during the battle and siege of Stalingrad during 1942-1942, Four Steps to Death (Kidscan $19.95) revisits the horrific encounter between the troops (and egos) of Hitler and Stalin. The 229-day impasse resulted in more than one million deaths and was a crucial turning point in World War II, after which the Germans never won a major battle. John Wilson revisits the city now known as Volgograd through the experiences of a German tank commander, a patriotic Russian soldier and an eight-year-old boy named Sergei who tries to survive in the rubble. In an afterword, Wilson notes the starving and freezing remnants of the German army under Field Marshall von Paulus finally surrendered on February 2,1943. "The dead were burned in piles on the open steppe and the survivors marched off to a captivity from which few returned," he writes. The Battle of Stalingrad remains under-acknowledged in the West because American, British and Canadian troops did not participate.
Having introduced numerous young protagonists who are caught within complex political situations aboard, John Wilson brought his formula for educational and engaging Young Adult fiction closer to home with Red Goodwin (Ronsdale $9.95), an introduction to the life and times of labour leader Ginger "Red" Goodwin, the Socialist folk hero who was forced to seek refuge in the woods around the coal mining community of Cumberland. After his father is killed in World War I, young Will Ryan is sent to live with his uncle, a mine manager at Cumberland. Will Ryan's chance meeting with the outlaw Red Goodwin in the forest prompts him to consider the legitimacy of the miners' unionist activities and Goodwin's radical view that the conflict between Britain and Germany has capitalist origins. Along the way Will befriends a Chinese boy and learns about racism, and he falls in love with a beautiful Scottish girl whose family is helping Goodwin survive in the woods.
In The Alchemists Dream, John Wilson revisits Henry Hudsons doomed quest to discover a northwest passage to the Far East. In this story, the Nonsuch returns to London in 1669 with a load of fur and the lost journal of the missing explorer Hudson who disappeared in 1611. "In the hands of a greedy sailor, the journal is merely an object to sell," according to the publisher's promo material. "But for Robert Bylot a once-great maritime explorer the book is a painful reminder of a past hed rather forget. As Bylot relives his memories of a plague-ridden city, of the mysterious alchemist John Dee, and of mutiny in the frozen wastes of Hudson Bay, an age-old mystery is both revealed and solved."
Shot at Dawn (Scholastic, 2011) is the World War I tale of a soldier named Allan McBride, who has fought in some of the war's bloodiest battles and seen his best friend killed, but now stands accused of desertion and may face death by firing squad.
Written in Blood (Orca 2010) is the first installment of the Desert Legends Trilogy re-examining the legend about the infamous American outlaw known as Billy the Kid. In the second novel, Ghost Moon, Wilson follows young James Doolen's story after he discovers the terrible truth about his father in Written in Blood. According to publicity materials, "The year is 1878, and young Jim is not yet ready to return to Canada. Instead he heads up to New Mexico in hopes of finding work and building a life. On the way he meets Bill Bonney (later to be known as Billy the Kid), who takes him to a ranch south of the town of Lincoln, where they both find work as cowboys. Little does Jim know that he is about to get caught up in a vicious battle for the lucrative army contracts with nearby Fort Stanton. As the violence explodes around him, Jim becomes a helpless witness to cold-blooded murder and watches as Bill swears revenge and leads a gang of killers into the hills. However hard he tries, Jim can't escape the violence and is finally drawn into its bloody conclusion on the streets of Lincoln."
In Wilsons third installment, Victorios War (Orca $12.95), Jim is an army scout in a war to force Victorios Apaches onto a reservation, far from their traditional lands. Captured by his nemesis Ghost Moon and forced to flee with an Apache band of warriors, Jim is only saved from a slow and torturous death when his old friend Wellington adopts him as his son. Will he be branded a traitor? Or killed in a battle with the 10th US Cavalry or the Mexican Army? Theres a mini-series in here somewhere, perhaps to be called Divided Loyalties.
Wilson's Failed Hope (Dundurn, 2012) links with two previous books, Desperate Glory (Napoleon, 2008) and Bitter Ashes (Napoleon, 2010), covering the history of the 20th century from 1914 to 1945.
A dinosaur dig on farmland owned by the hippie-ish mother of teenager Sam unearths more trouble than anyone bargained for in John Wilsons Bones (Orca Currents 2013), for reluctant readers. Set in the Alberta badlands, near Drumheller, it offers surprisingly sophisticated dialogue and a frighteningly intelligent girlfriend named Annabel who often makes Sam feel inadequate. Ever-prolific, Wilson simultaneously refined contents from his adult book on the doomed Franklin Expedition for a junior audience version with Graves of Ice: The Lost Franklin Expedition, George Chambers The Northwest Passage, 1845 (Scholastic 2014). Long fascinated with the Franklin Expedition, Wilson was prompted by the 2014 discovery of the Erebus to write a third mystery featuring Sam and Annabel, Lost (Orca 2016), in which the come across a priceless artifact that could hold the answer to the Franklin expedition mystery. Lost is a follow-up in a trilogy that includes Bones and Stolen.
In Broken Arrow (Orca $10.95) Steves plan for a relaxing vacation under the Spanish sun with his friend Laia, ends abruptly when he receives an email from his brother linking their grandfather to shadowy international plots involving nuclear bombs. Was Steves grandpa a cold war era spy? In a desperate attempt to find out, Steve and Laia crack mysterious codes, confront violent Russian mobsters, dodge spies, unearth a bomb and avoid nudists. The deeper they look, the more Steve begins to wonder, whose side was Grandpa on?
In Wilson's follow up The Missing Skull Steve is none too thrilled to be visiting his grandfather at a remote lake in northern Ontario. He resents the fact that his twin brother, DJ, got to go to Central America instead. However, things become interesting when his Grandpa offers up the unsolved death of Tom Thomson and his stolen skull. This is a mystery suited for aspiring detective Steve as he follows a trail of clues set up by his Grandpa in a game of intrigue that leads to Steve's own adventure.
In a series for young adults, John Wilson imagines the bloody trenches of WWI through the eyes of 15-year-old Jim Hay for And In the Morning: Fields of ConflictThe Somme (Heritage $12.95) As a boy, he impatiently waits for the day he can join the men, march off to war and fight for his country. To Jim, war will be a glorious adventure filled with acts of courage and heroic quests. When his big moment for enlistment arrives, following his fathers death in battle and his mothers nervous breakdown, Jim leaps at the opportunity to escape from the realities of life. And In the Morning reveals how naïve dreams of glory can quickly be obliterated by the ugliness and death at the core of wars reality. Jims longing for adventure is quickly replaced by a battle to survive.
John Wilson revisits World World I for his 40th book, A Dangerous Game (Doubleday 2016), which pays tribute to the resistance and spy network in Belgium called Le Dame Blanche. This name 'The White Lady' was derived from a legend that predicted the fall of the German monarchy would occur with the appearance of a woman dressed all in white. By the end of the First World War, there were an estimated 13,000 agents in this underground resistance network, including many girls and women. His protagonist is a teenaged student nurse, Manon, who enjoys cycling into beautiful Bruges. After she becomes a conduit for information to the British, she uncovers crucial details about where deadly German weaponry is stored--only to discover that innocent people are being killed on both sides of the front. Always realistic and well-researched, Wilson's novels for young readers about both World Wars are not dumbed down or schmaltzy; rather they are rooted in facts and documentary realism. This one is dedicated to Violette Szabo, a real spy from the Second World War who, at age twenty-three, was executed at Ravensbruck concentration camp in February, 1945.

Flames of the Tiger (Kids Can $7.95)
Former geologist John Wilson of Nanaimo continues to produce books at a dizzying pace. Among his five new titles this year is a novel, Flames of the Tiger (Kids Can $7.95), about a German teenager who is initially seduced by the pomp of Hitlers rise. With Berlin in ruins and the Russian army on its way, he helps a badly wounded Canadian soldier, telling the man his life story to help keep him conscious. As dawn breaks, the soldier recovers and helps Dieter and his sister survive. Details in Flames of the Tigerlike flaming horses running in terror and a soldiers description of Belsenare not for the squeamish.
It is not my intention to apologize for the Nazis, says Wilson. They, and particularly the SS, richly deserve the abhorrence that the civilized world feels for the values they held and the atrocities they committed. What I have tried to do is imagine what it was like for those who came of age in the 1930s and 40s, indoctrinated from earliest days and swept up in circumstances they could never understand. To have been a teenager in Nazi Germany must have been immensely difficult, and to expect one to have had a rational post-war perspective is unreasonable. The lure of uniforms and flags and the flood of propaganda must have been next to irresistible. Dieter is probably exceptional for questioning as much as he does.
Wilson says if theres an underlying message for his adventure story, its to always question what people tell you is a self-evident truth, especially when everyone tells you the same thing.

Red Goodwin (Ronsdale $9.95)
After 18 titles for young readers about complex political situations abroad,John Wilson has brought his fiction formula close to home with Red Goodwin (Ronsdale $9.95), an introduction to the life and times of the socialist folk hero Ginger Red Goodwin who was forced to seek refuge in the woods around the coal mining community of Cumberland due to his activities as a union organizer.
Following the death of his father in World War I, young Will Ryan is sent to live with his uncle, a mine manager at Cumberland on Vancouver Island. Wills chance meeting with the outlaw Red Goodwin in the forest prompts him to consider the legitimacy of the miners unionized protests and Goodwins radical view that the conflict between Britain and Germany has capitalist origins. Along the way Will befriends a Chinese boy and learns about racism, and he falls in love with a beautiful Scottish girl whose family is helping Goodwin survive in the woods.
Wilsons preceding young adult novel Four Steps to Death (Kidscan $19.95) revisits the horrific encounter between the troops (and egos) of Hitler and Stalin during the battle and siege of Stalingrad, 1942-1943. Resulting in more than one million deaths, this 229-day impasse was the turning point in World War II, after which the Germans never won a major battle. Wilson revisits the city now known as Volgograd through the experiences of a German tank commander named Conrad, a patriotic Russian soldier named Vasily and an eight-year-old boy named Sergei who tries to survive in the rubble.
In an afterword, Wilson notes the starving and freezing remnants of the German army under Field Marshall von Paulus finally surrendered on February 2, 1943. The dead were burned in piles on the open steppe and the survivors marched off to a captivity from which few returned, he writes. The battle of Stalingrad remains under-acknowledged in the West because American, British and Canadian troops did not participate.
Wilsons forthcoming young adult novel is Where Soldiers Lie (Key Porter $15.95). Set in the exotic world of British Imperial India, it charts the adventures of Jack O'Hara through the tumultuous summer of 1857. With barely time to adjust to his new world after being wrenched from his home in Canada, Jack is plunged into mutiny, siege and massacre. Jack manages to make new friends, but will any of them survive?

Shot at Dawn (Scholastic Canada $14.99)
John Wilson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1951, of parents who had recently returned from a life in India. He grew up on the Isle of Skye and in Paisley, near Glasgow, and earned an Honours B.Sc. in geology from St. Andrews University. In 1975, he went to work for the Geological Survey of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) but, unwilling to consider military service there, he eventually resettled in Calgary, working in gas and oil exploration.
In 1986, as a geologist in Edmonton, he decided he wasnt travelling enough, so he sold his sports car, took a leave of absence and set off west. His grand tour took him to Japan, Thailand, the India of his parents, Nepal, Egypt, Zimbabwe and much of Europe. Returning home, he had difficulty adjusting back into a regular work schedule. A feature article, sold to the Globe and Mail, pointed him in a new direction, so he quit his job and became a full-time freelancer before moving on to novels and non-fiction books.
As a teen growing up in the west of Scotland in the 1960s, Wilson says, my primary concerns were staying out of trouble at school (not always successfully) and avoiding the gangs that hung around downtown on Saturday nights. I was a good sprinter!
I had no intention of trying to emulate the boring dead people we were forced to read in English class.
Wilson has now been a full-time writer for twenty years and boasts a bibliography that includes hundreds of articles, essays, photo essays, poetry, reviews, 22 novels and eight non-fiction books for teens and adults. His most recent book is Shot at Dawn (Scholastic Canada $14.99).
BC BOOKWORLD: How did the metamorphosis from troubled teen to writer come about?
JOHN WILSON: History. I had a history teacher in grade 11 who told stories about the past. My favourite lesson was about the day Franz Ferdinand was shot in 1914. I lay awake half that night imagining I was one of the characters in Sarajevo that day. What would I have done? How would I have felt, either pointing the gun at Franz or seeing the assassin point the gun at me?
I never wrote anything down but I was already a writer. Thats all I do now. Instead of lying in the dark making up stories, I sit at my computer, but Im still a small boy trying to travel in time.
BCBW: Do you do a lot of research for your novels?
WILSON: Occasionally, Ive been lucky enough to receive a grant from the Canada Council to go to archives and read old letters and documents, but mostly I use my holidays. For the trilogy Im working on, called The Heretics Secret, I went to France to see the castles and medieval towns where I set the story.
Also, the internet can be a great resource for details. For example, in Written in Blood, I needed to know about hand guns in the American southwest in 1877. There are websites that specialize in exactly that.
For my most recent book, Shot at Dawn, set in the First World War, I realize Ive been reading books on WWI ever since my history teacher told me about Franz Ferdinand. Ive spent the last forty years researching that book.
BCBW: Theres violence in your books, Im thinking of the prisoner having his toes cut off with rusty shears in Death on the River. Is it necessary?
WILSON: There is violence in some of my books, but none of it is made up or gratuitous. The guy in Death on the River is based on a man who really did have his toes cut off that way. The history of our species is violent and we have to acknowledge that. To paint the past as a pleasant, peaceful progression towards the present, hardly prepares a kid for living in the real world.
BCBW: What about the argument that gross or violent books simply pander to the baser side of the readers nature and that boys should be encouraged to read better literature? Would you say boys need different kinds of books from girls?
WILSON: Absolutely. There are countless definitions of what makes a good kids book. The only definition that really matters where boys are concerned is: a good book for a boy is any book he will read.
When people question me about violence in my books, I say: If a boy gets bored with one of my books, hes not going to put it down and read Anne of Green Gables. Odds are hes going to go and play a video game where he can make peoples heads explode. Call of Dutys my competition. I have to hold my readers interest before I can even think about doing anything else, such as putting the violence in a moral context.
BCBW: Shot at Dawn is part of Scholastics new series for boys, I Am Canada. Do you think enough is being done in Canada to interest boys in reading?
WILSON: The situations improving. There are a lot of authors writing books for boys, such as Eric Walters, Art Slade and Iain Lawrence, but go into any Chapters store and stand a metre or two away from the Teen Fiction shelves. The predominant colour is pink. I have a seventeen-year-old son who would have his fingernails pulled before he took a pink book off a shelf, regardless of how good that book might be.
BCBW: So theres a marketing problem for boys?
WILSON: Partly. After all, it makes sense from a marketing perspective to target the easiest demographic, but not if its at the expense of the readers who are a tougher sell. Anyone involved in childrens literatureauthors, editors, publishers, booksellers, marketershas a responsibility to all readers, even the ones who would rather be playing video games.
BCBW: Did you read violent books when you were a teen, and if so, what?
WILSON: As a kid I read horror stories, H.P. Lovecraft, science fiction, Asimov, Bradbury, Wyndham, and a lot of historical non-fiction. At that time, the stories from the Second World Warfighter pilots in the Battle of Britain, prisoners escaping from Colditzwere coming out and I devoured them.
I didnt actually need a graphic description of mayhem. A suggestion was often enough to feed the part of me that lay awake at night making up stories. And the stories I made up were way more violent that anything I write now.
I would read any book that took me to a different place, anywhere that was more exciting than the real world I was stuck in. Essentially, now Im writing the stories that I wanted to read as a teen, and hoping that they will help todays teens to escape.

Lost Cause Seven: The Series by John Wilson (Orca $9.95)
Article (2012)
Origin of the Series
Seven: The Series [see story below] was born when Eric Walters started thinking about a story in which a beloved grandfather dies and leaves his grandson the task of spreading his ashes from the top of Mount Kilimanjaro... Then he wondered what if he had more than one grandson? What if he had seven?
I thought about my favourite writers and their different styles and wondered how each writer would approach this same narrative, Walters says.
I made some phone calls. Some of the writers plunged in before the end of the call. Others needed a day to think it over.
In quick succession though, all seven of us signed on and we were off. Instantly, messages started to fly between the writers as we crafted our individual stories and then 'reshaped' aspects to fit in with what the others were writing.
For my book, I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. There, atop the mountain, I sent a text message to John Wilson, just as the character in my book sends one to the character in John's book.
I can only hope that the readers will enjoy these unique books as much as we all enjoyed writing them.
Youve heard of the Magnificent Seven and The Seven Samurai. And Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. And Seven Wives for Seven Brothers.
Now along comes Seven: The Series, for readers aged ten and upseven novels by seven writers released simultaneously, all involving quests for seven grandsons
as laid out in their grandfathers will.
The eldest grandson has the task of spreading grandpas ashes atop Mt. Kilimanjaro, as outlined in Between Heaven and Earth (Orca) by Eric Walters, who brought the series idea to the publisher.
The seven novels can be read in random order. The contemporary action of each book occurs at the same time as the seven grandsons are dispersed around the world according to their grandfathers instructions.
Electronic chapters are being made available each month, for seven months, prior to the official release date of October 10.
The lone B.C. author in the series is John Wilson with Lost Cause (Orca $9.95), in which grandson Steve investigates his grandfathers activities in Spain with the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War.
I was approached by Eric early in the process, he says, and we decided to make our characters twins. Their relationship is established early in both books and develops through exchanged texts as they undertake their adventures.
This is an exceptional case with the Seven books. The only point of commonality is reading where each character is given their task/quest. After that, the stories go their own ways as envisaged by each author.
Obviously, I have read Between Heaven and Earth. I cant speak for the other authors, but I plan to read all the books. Im intrigued to see the different directions taken by my colleagues.
Wilson says hes in awe of Sarah Harvey, who edited all seven books and who undertook the task of making sure that everything in each book fitted with what the other six characters did in the other books.
Lost Cause, for John Wilson, is an attempt, like most of his historical fiction, to relive a time for which he was born too late. I have long been convinced that, had I been 20 in 1936, I would have gone to fight in Spain in the International Brigades.
Fortunately, since so few came back from that war, I never had the chance. Steve is me, reliving the experiences I wish I could have been a part of.
Obsessed with World War One
Essay (2014)
from John Wilson
We asked prolific author John Wilson why books about war are so important. He would know.
For his honeymoon, the Wilsons spent much of their time visiting war memorials in Europe.
Much of John Wilsons time in the last year has been spent living in the wartime past. He has been preparing his World War One book for republication, And in the Morning (Heritage House), researching a series of WWI novels, Tales of War (Doubleday) and reading original soldiers diaries at the Canadian War Museum for an upcoming non-fiction book (Tundra), as well as writing a blog to mark the anniversary of World War One.
Here is what he told us:
The other day I was having a phone conversation with a publisher concerning an upcoming non-fiction book on WWI. We were talking about possible publication dates to tie in with significant anniversaries and eventually came to a conclusion. Okay, I said, the spring of 1917 should work well.
There was a silence on the other end of the line. This wasnt the only time that I recently got dates wrong by 100 years. I dont have some strange form of historical Alzheimers. The problem is my obsession with history, and WWI in particular.
I was born only 33 years after the end of the Great War. While I was growing up in Scotland, the mutilated survivors of that war, many only in their fifties and sixties, were a very visible part of the cultural landscape, but I paid little attention to them. My heroes growing up were from a more recent war: Spitfire pilots in the Battle of Britain, Commandoes storming enemy beaches, escaped POWs, and spies eluding Gestapo torturers in occupied Europe.
It was only when I began reading war memorials that I realized there was something different about this older war.
Every little village in the west of Scotland has its war memorial. They were erected in the 1920s and 30s and range from a bronze soldier to a plain column. The plinth at the base usually has Lest We Forget 1914-1918 carved on the front and this is followed by a list of names, often 30 or more, commemorating the young men from the surrounding area who went to war and never returned. On the back there is sometimes a similar, more recent carving memorializing the dead from the war my heroes fought inbut it usually only has two or three names carved on it.
Even to my teenage mind, there was something very different about this first war. I began reading about it and gradually realized the huge cultural impact that war had. In some cases, the names on the fronts of the memorials represented 1 in 5 or 6 of the young men from that area. For these villages, and for Europe in general, these losses and the manner in which they occurred, were an almost unimaginable catastrophe. Everything changed because of what was recorded on those memorials. Before 1914 was history, a ghostly world of memory hardly more real than the Renaissance, after it was recognizable as the world I, and you, live in.
On my honeymoon, my wife realized what she had signed up for when I took her on a cycling tour of the Somme battlefields and pointed out encouragingly which wood the soldiers of 1916 had marched from and where the machine-guns that slaughtered them had been placed. Since then I have dragged my family up mountains to examine Cathar castles in France, trudged up Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg, and stood on countless hilltops imagining battles, both vast and small, ebbing and flowing around me. But, because of those village memorials from my childhood, I always return to the Somme, Ypres, Vimy Ridge, Arras, Amiens, Verdun.
I want to travel in time, to visit the lost world of 1914 and experience the events that destroyed it and created my world of today. Thats what I spend my life trying to do. Every story I write is more than just a book for other people to read, it is an attempt to recapture the past in my mind, to travel in time, and for the reader, I hope, an invitation to join me on my journey.
I have travelled to the First World War four times so far and I have more trips planned. Each time I go to somewhere different and somewhere other people rarely go.
My first journey was And in the Morning, published by KidsCan Press in 2003 and reissued in 2014 by Heritage House. In many ways, it is my personal favourite. The cover of the original edition featured the face of my wifes great uncle, an eighteen-year-old boy who died at the battle of Loos on September 25, 1915. And in the Morning is also a diary, based on many actual diaries researched in the Imperial War Museum in London, but ultimately my diary, or at least the one I might have written as a teenager between 1914 and 1916.
My second fictional journey was Shot at Dawn (Scholastics I am Canada Series, 2011) and it deals in more depth with issues touched on in And in the Morning, mainly Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or Shell Shock as it was called back then. It is also a diary of sorts, the memories of a young soldier, Allan McBride, in 1918 as he waits in a shed the night before he is due to be executed for cowardice.
Then, in Wings of War (book 1 in Doubledays Tales of War Series), I visited the flyers in WWI, not Billy Bishop and the Red Baron, but the early fliers of 1915 and 1916. These were some of the boys who learned to fly in homemade aircraft on prairie farms in 1913 and 1914, and who, when they went to war, had to struggle with the uncertain technology as much as the enemy.
Book 2 in the Tales of War Series, Dark Terror, will be published in 2015 and tells the story of a young Newfoundland miner digging tunnels deep beneath the enemy trenches. Book 3 has no name yet and the journey is not yet complete, but it will tell of a young Belgian nurse recruited into spying for the Allies.
Not all my trips back are fiction, Desperate Glory: The Story of WWI (Dundurn, 2008) is non-fiction. With the extensive use of historic photographs, sidebars and short explanatory texts segments, it does exactly what the title promises, tells the story of the war.
My newest project is different, because for the first time it is not primarily my journey. Tentatively titled, An Artists War: The Illustrated WWI Diary of Russell Hughes Rabjohn (Tundra) it is the book that I told my publisher should come out in 1917. Rabjohn was a draughtsman and drew what he experienced between 1916 and 1919. He also kept five volumes of written diary and it is my job to combine these elements to tell his story, not mine.
I have come to understand and learned to live with my obsession. No, thats not true, I love my obsession, I embrace it and I am eternally grateful that I have lived long enough to see the 100th anniversary of my favourite piece of history. Over the next four years I can wallow in my obsession, give it free rein and not appear too out of place. Welcome to 1914.

The C4 Mk II is small diaphragm condenser microphone set featuring interchangeable capsules, switchable -10dB pad/high pass filter and a linear low-noise, solid state amplifier body. The microphone's modularity makes it a useful multi-purpose tool intended for all-around use on stage, on location and in studios of all caliber.
As a cardioid (pressure gradient) microphone, the C4 provides excellent pickup of on-axis sources while attenuating extraneous sound occurring from around and behind the mic. This makes it ideal for close miking of individual instruments where bleed from other nearby instruments or sound is undesirable. The C4 cardioids also make excellent stereo pairs for coincident and near-coincident miking techniques such as X-Y and ORTF. Additionally the C4's are quite useful on a drum kit as overheads and on toms.
Used as an omni-directional (pressure) microphone, the C4 offers a warm tonal response and is recommended especially for close miking in favorable acoustical environments. There is very little off axis coloration owing to the inherent physical properties of pressure capsules, and it is this - combined with the low self-noise of the mic amplifier that makes the C4 omni an excellent ambience mic –especially in pairs. In a good room, a pair of omni's can provide a vibrant and live feel to recordings, which is not achievable through the use of directional microphones.
Recommended uses are, spaced pair omni, Jecklin disc (OSS), piano, guitar, drum overheads and room miking. The C4 is available in pairs with mic clips and windscreens.

2 Year Limited Warranty

"Dear Jason, I don't mean to take up to much of your time as I know you have a million emails a day to respond to. Once again, I can not thank you enough for the service and education provided here. Although today was not biggest trade, it was over the last 2 days, the most profitable for me yet. I had realized gains in ANTH over $1,300.00! When I say that your service is life changing, for me it truly is! I was involved in an accident in 2001 which left me paralyzed from the waist down for some time. I was told I would never walk again. I have much to be thankful for each and every day, as I am able to walk again without any assistance.
I am an operating engineer by trade and have tried several times to return to work only to cause myself more medical problems. I really thought I was stuck in life having to rely on disability income but from what I am learning here, with proper education, guidance, perserverance, and of course patience, that I don't necessarily have to be "stuck" with di sability income. I like the fact that you set a very attainable goal of $50-$100K per year with your strategies that work! You guys are pretty amazing people and I'm proud to be part of this service! Thank you for all the work you guys put in!" ~ Kevin P.
"English is not my mother tongue, you might have to excuse me for some grammatical errors in this mail. As I told you I am very glad that I found your service. Since the beginning of this year I was looking what to do with my savings, because here in Europe, money on the bank just gives nothing as interest (we are down at 1,5 percent a year and inflation is 3,5 percent, so we loose money). I was not experienced in trading at all, I just had some traditional stocks like Coca Cola, McDonalds, Shell. As I wanted to learn more about stocks I ended up to get some free news letters left and right, some of them loaded with commercials about "gurus". After a few months I decided to get into one of those offers, payed newsletters who give you the stocks to buy at that moment. After trying 2 of them (who gave no explanation at all, and have a website with no information at all) and paying a lot for it (like 799 euro and 1,299 euro) I ended up loosing more money and had the feeling that I walked around like a headless chicken. Then I realized, why do I trust those guys? I ended up realizing I had to leave my greed and start over to do this another way. I followed some lessons and webinars at my broker. That helped me a bit to understand more basics of regular trading.
Then I found you through a Facebook ad of a friend of mine. Got a look into your public website, and was kind of surprised it was so well organized. Then I said, well I lost already money, why wouldnt I risk another 299 dollar. That is worth taking the risk. Now subscribed since a few weeks, exploring your website and video lessons (did not manage to see them all already, but what I saw made me understand a whole lot) So I am learning bit by bit. And indeed I believe that within a few months I will be much furhter with all this. I was down 18 % on my portfolio while being very careful beacause of those crooks, now I am almost break even since I met you, just in those few weeks, you managed to make those 18% lose back up in like 15-18 trades of you and Luke, and that in just 3 days a week. (I can't trade full time because of my work) For me you are the best of the 12-15 newsletters I explored, and 3 of them I payed really way too much for what it was. So your price is more than correct even after the rise you plan to do. 4th time is the best apparently, but well anyway not a lot of people have the luck to marry their first girlfriend also I guess 🙂 Well my guess I couldn't manage to do this in a few lines, feel free to just take out a few sentences. Best Regards and a good weekend." ~ Belgian G.
"I can not thank you enough for creating such a website like you have here at JasonBondPicks, and I can not thank you and Luke enough for all the help you guys have given/offered me…from doing all those videos/webinars to just simply answering my questions when I ask you guys what books I need to read and what books you guys have read and learned from…I just went over my numbers for the last month from when I first signed up with your service back in January until now I have completely turned my trading around and have 50% increase in my numbers…and more importantly I am consistent. I turned out a monthly profit day trading and swing trading combined for the first time and I will only keep going because I love doing this stuff.
I am sending this email to my mother also because I know she has been skeptical about the stock market and my drive to be the best at this. Anyways I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for you and Luke and your service and I plan on being here for years to come. My brother Keith told me to sign up with your service and I am so glad he did. I have always wanted to learn the ins and outs of the market but never had anyone to point me in the right direction and help me with it but this site clearly helped me out with that haha. With my strategy I have put together with the help of you and Luke I have increases my winning percentage by 55-75% over the last 5 weeks alone." ~ William S.

Quantifying patriarchy: an explorative comparison of two joint family societies
The notion of 'patriarchy' has pervaded the scholarly descriptions of peasant families in historical Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. The term has often included many different elements, such as the dominance of patrilineal descent, patrilocal or patrivirilocal residence after marriage, power relations that favour the domination of men over women and of the older generation over the younger generation, customary laws that sanctioned these patterns, the absence of an interfering state that could mitigate their influence, and an inert traditional society that emanated from these conditions. Combinations of these elements have been used to explain the peculiarity of the residence patterns in the East and South-East of Europe relative to the West, but in a manner that generally does not allow researchers to measure comparatively the 'intensity' of patriarchy across time and space. In this paper, we propose a handy tool for comparative studies of joint families, and argue that 'patriarchy' can be meaningfully measured in quantitative terms. We also suggest approaches for measuring patriarchy, and provide a list of numerical variables easily derived from census microdata that can be used for measurement purposes. To illustrate how these comparative studies can be conducted, we use census and census-like materials for two historical joint family societies from the European East (Poland-Lithuania and Albania). For both datasets, we compute a list of well-specified variables and investigate how they correlate with each other. Finally, based on these variables, an index of patriarchy is proposed, allowing us to identify regions with different degrees of patriarchy within one country.

I have watched mothers and fathers keening in grief over the frail corpses of their children in hospitals in Gaza and rural villages in El Salvador, Bosnia and Kosovo. The faces of these dead children, their bodies ripped apart by iron fragments or bullets tumbling end over end through their small, delicate frames, appear to me almost daily like faint and sadly familiar ghosts. The frailty and innocence of my own children make these images difficult to bear.
A child a day dies in war-related violence in Afghanistan. Children die in roadside explosions. They die Continue reading

Essentials for Producer Participation in Biomass Markets When Choices are Correlated
Using data from a survey of Iowa farmers we examine producers' willingness to supply corn stover, corn cobs and energy grasses for biomass markets. We identify factors that affect producers' interest in growing biomass crops as well critical barriers to participation. Choices among biomass types are found to be correlated.
