Sardines of Love by Zurine Aguirre
|Sardines of Love by Zurine Aguirre
|Category: For Sharing
|Reviewer: Ruth Ng
|Summary: Rather odd, but charming too, this is a very fishy love story.
|Buy? Yes
|Borrow? Yes
|Pages: 36
|Date: January 2015
|Publisher: Child's Play (International) Ltd
|External links: Author's website
This is a love story about Lolo and Lola, and grandfather and grandmother whose lives revolve around sardines (stay with me!) Lolo goes out fishing for sardines, and loves to eat sardines, whilst Lola his wife runs a shop selling sardines. Lola doesn't like to eat sardines, but she happily cooks them for her husband, albeit with a peg on her nose because of the smell! But one day, the unthinkable happens, and Lola finds that she has run out of sardines for Lolo. What will she do?
Reading this book reminded me somewhat of watching those bizarre French films, that are rather lovely but so surreal that they leave you wondering what on earth they were actually about! You see, when Lola discovers she has no sardines, she goes out fishing herself to get some but, whilst fishing, she gets pulled into the water and eaten by an enormous octopus! Don't worry, this isn't a disaster story however, because inside the octopus there's a rather nice set up, and Lola finds she can cook and live quite comfortably in there, and her only problems are the the only things to eat are sardines and, of course, she misses Lolo!
Lolo, for his part, is distraught when he comes home and finds Lola has disappeared. He ends up crying so much that he floats away on his tears, right into the Octopuses mouth, and of course there in the stomach he finds his beloved Lola. She, since setting up house in the octopus, has discovered that actually she loves sardines, and so they live there together very happily!
Although it's rather odd, it is also a sweet story. Only the most pedantic of toddlers will query the house within the octopus's stomach, so I'd advise you to throw caution to the wind and just go along with the whole idea (even if you are personally wondering where the gas for the oven is coming from...) The illustrations are lively and colourful. Lolo and Lola are both charming characters. I love the picture of her cooking fish with a peg on her nose - there have been occasions when I'd have liked to have done that myself! I also like the pictures of Lola trying her first sardine, and a later picture of her 'gone wild' in the Octopus's stomach where she is wearing a sort of crown made from fish bones whilst cooking up a whole range of sardine food items!
It is silly, but it's also a charming love story. I found it to be very readable, and Lolo and Lola are endearing characters. Good for a wildly imaginative bedtime, and hopefully no nightmares about being eaten by an octopus!

Senasinghe draws flak for his conduct at COPE
Posted on August 12th, 2016
By Saman Indrajith Courtesy The Island
State Minister Sujeewa Senasinghe's conduct in the Committee on Public Enterprises (COPE) came under severe criticism from his fellow COPE members yesterday evening for his attempt to intimidate and threaten witnesses of the controversial Central Bank bond issue, a senior COPE member told The Island.
The state minister threatened and tried to extract information in a manner harmful to the ongoing COPE investigation on former Central Bank Governor Arjuna Mahendran's involvement in bond scam when the senior most staff members of the Central Bank including its incumbent Governor and all Deputy Governors had been summoned before the parliament watchdog committee last evening.
Content of a report by the Auditor General on controversial bond issue was taken for the discussion at yesterday's meeting.
The senior member said that there was clear evidence to prove that the UNP members in the COPE were trying to delay the process by making suggestions including resummoning some of the witnesses and re-examining the submissions they had already made before the COPE.
To counter the UNP plan, the COPE leadership suggested that they have a roadmap with regard to the investigation of Central Bank bond issue. As the majority of the committee agreed to the suggestion a date (Aug 23) had been fixed for the task, senior COPE member said.
Minister Senasinghe, who was included in the COPE recently (since July 08) had no ethical background to involve in the investigation against former Central Bank governor Mahendran for the minister had gone before courts and published a book to clear Mahendran's name, the COPE members pointed out.
Minister Senasinghe was warned, reprimanded for his conduct and told not to repeat similar conduct again jeopardising the committee's progress in investigations, the senior COPE member said.
Among those attended yesterday's meeting chaired by JVP MP Sunil Handunnetti were COPE members Ajith P Perera, Wasantha Aluvihare, Chandrasiri Gajadheera, Dayasiri Jayasekera, Bimal Ratnayake, Mahindananda Aluthgamage, Sujeewa Senasinghe, Hector Appuhamy, Ashok Abeysinghe, Harshana Rajakaruna, Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa and Weerakumara Dissanayake.

All-Out Action At FV X SEA Major 2018 Malaysia
Featuring: perfect comebacks, flying punches and wild applauses!
Featuring: perfect comebacks, flying punches and wild applauses!
Last weekend (14 – 15 July) was a loud and a lit one for Battle Arena Malaysia. Between button smashing and filthy comebacks, both local and international fighting game players fought their best in the esports battleground much to the delight of the cheering spectators.
Whether you're a casual fan of fighting games or an esports follower of said genre, there was plenty of hard-and-fast action to keep you satiated throughout the two-day FV x SEA Major Malaysia 2018 event, which was co-organised by Flash Vision and Eliphant.
While there were quite a number of gaming tournaments held during the event, two prominent ones were the Capcom Pro Tour (Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition) and Tekken World Tour (Tekken 7) competitions. Many players across the Asian region had participated in said 'Big Two' for the opportunity to get ranking points.
Notable players in attendance include Haitani, Jeondding, OilKing, Take, Nobi, Xian and Gamerbee among others. There many local participants (#MalaysianPride) too such as IamChuan and NekoXX!
After a long series of blood sweat, tears and battles, Singapore's Xian was SFV: Arcade Edition's champion while Japan's Take was crowned as Tekken 7's winner!
Garena once again made their presence known by featuring three titles (Free Fire, Arena of Valor and the surprise unveiling of Contra: Return) in the FV x SEA Major Malaysia 2018 event. Team Omega (OMG) was the Free Fire: Royal Rush tournament, taking home RM4,000 and four ASUS Zenfone Max Pro (M1) smartphones while many participants won permanent skins in the AOV 1v1 Challenge.
Of course, the main star of all these was Contra: Return! Co-developed by Konami and Tencent Games, this Contra title in the form of a mobile game was actually released last year exclusively in China only. Now, Garena is bringing this title to our region with an expected release date later this year.
Event attendees were able to try out the still-in-development Contra: Return during the event and it's a pretty encompassing title that features PvP, RPG elements (yup, the game will feature voice-overs too) and side-scrolling platform shenanigans that suit both casual and competitive mobile players.
Available for both Android and iOS, it won't be a surprise to see Contra: Return esports tournaments in the near future. You can find out more info about Contra: Return in our recent article (and video below)!
Aside from the aforementioned 'Big Two' titles, other featured tournament titles were Dragon Ball FighterZ, Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator, Injustice 2, Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite, King of Fighters XIV and Blazblue Cross Tag Battle. It was a good fighting game fest indeed. True to the genre, there was so much energy coming from the young and enthusiastic crowd.
At HyperX's booth, attendees can try out the brand's headphones while playing Dragon Ball Fighter Z and Tekken 7. So for anyone who hasn't had a chance to play those titles, it was a golden opportunity to do so, which was exactly what I did shamelessly.
Thankfully, there were no pro players around when I lost some fights. *awkward laughter*
One of the best things about Malaysian esports regardless of genres and titles is the home crowd. They were a cheering bunch of loud & passionate fans and totally acted as an energy fuel for players to perform and play better.
FV x SEA Major Malaysia 2018 or any local esports event would not be a success if not for the turnout of supporters united by the love of video games! And yes, the fighting game community is one of the best local gaming communities!
Thanks to Domino's Pizza, everyone's teatime food on Sunday was a variety of pizza choices! Amazingly, everyone actually sorted themselves into an orderly line to get those yummy pizza slices. Food sure is a great motivator for good behaviour, eh?
Overall, FV x SEA Major Malaysia 2018 was awesome and let's hope we'll get another round in the future! Scroll below to see the winners of each tournament (via EventHubs).

Don't mind the spelling mistake in the title, who knew the Japanese Jazz scene could Groove like this!
Today I bring to you a gem of a track I had to find once I heard it sampled in Jean tonique's "Girls love me". I was surprised to find I love the orginal even more then the pitch-shifted remake. The song comes off of Fujimaru Yoshino's Album - Yoshino Fujimal. A great album all around that I had to get in flac, and have listened many times to over. Soon i'll have to go out of my way and actually pick up the vinyl!
A starting sax track guides the melody of the entire piece, among the stars of cymbals. A great, slow and simple drum beat is accompanied with guitar riffs and a downright grooving bass line, but really all this is just to go with a smooth, deep and lyrical performance by Fujimaru Yoshino himself on the vocals.
I hope you guys enjoy this piece of 80s Japanese Jazz Funk. I know I surely do.

North America's consolidation of large manufacturers is changing the game
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT • Steve Buckle
Big manufacturing companies have big growth strategies, and their focus can be fractured into many different foreign markets. We've seen significant consolidation of suppliers across North America. This means that there are fewer suppliers in number, and they are often massive in scale. Many have foreign ownership and decisions are made distant from our market. Our focus is entirely on the Canadian market which is a key to our success. We monitor the market closely and analyze the data to anticipate emerging trends that impact pricing, which provide us the ability to negotiate strong programs that fit our members' regional needs.
This gives our members a competitive advantage.

When to use the OnCreate, OnShow, OnActivate, and OnPaint events of a TForm
When to use the OnCreate, OnShow, OnActivate, and OnPaint events of a TForm
Stuff that needs to be done to initialize the object (initializing variables and nested objects, etc.) should be done in the OnCreate event handler. That gets called as part of your constructor logic and is guaranteed to only be called once in the life of any object.

OnShow gets called when the form is first shown and when it is made visible after being hidden. This generally applies only to secondary forms. It should not be used to initialize anything.
OnActivate seems to get called at random intervals. Put your hand in that lion's mouth only if you have a surplus of digits ...

Add Partition
Add Partition
Allows users to define the S3 directory structure for partitioned external table data. This works by attributing values to each partition on the table. On S3, a single folder is created for each partition value and is named according to the corresponding partition key and value.
For example, the partition value for the key 'Salesdate' might be '2016-01-07'. A directory would then be created on S3 named 'Salesdate=2017-04-31' containing this partition's data.
It is important to note that this component only adds physical partitions on S3 and the table itself must already have partitions defined in the Create External Table component.
|The descriptive name for the component.
|Select the table schema. The special value, [Environment Default] will use the schema defined in the environment. For more information on using multiple schemas, see this article.
|The table to add partitions to. This should be an external table that already has partitions defined through the Create External Table component.
|Partition Values
|The table or view to unload to S3.
|The URL of the S3 bucket to load the partition data into.
In this example we will be creating an external table and adding partitions to it. The orchestration job is shown below.
The Create External Table component is set up as shown below. We add table metadata through the component so that all expected columns are defined. Using these definitions, you can now assign columns as partitions through the 'Partition' property. At least one column must remain unpartitioned but any single column can be a partition. An S3 Bucket location is also chosen as to host the external table data.
Now the Add Partition component can be configured as shown below. Although not strictly necessary, we select the same S3 Bucket that our table data is held on to also hold our partition data. In the 'Table' property, the same table that we just created is chosen. If this option does not appear, try right-clicking on the Create External Table and selecting 'Run Component' to create the table.
When a table is chosen, its partition columns are automatically loaded and can be assigned values using the 'Partition Values' property, shown below. Each column has a value assigned that is used to name a folder on the S3 bucket that will contain partition data.

The Latino Victory Fund endorsed U.S. Rep. Darren Soto on Tuesday in his Democratic congressional primary against Alan Grayson.
The group, which supported Soto's first congressional bid in 2016, has donated $5,000 to Soto's campaign this year, according to the Federal Election Commission.
Soto, D-Kissimmee, the first person of Puerto Rican descent to represent Florida in Congress, said the Latino Victory Fund was "essential" in his first run for Congress in 2016, when the group contributed a $145,000 independent expenditure to his campaign.
"I'm thrilled to have them on the team again," Soto said in a statement. "At a time when our community is under attack from a hateful, out-of-control President Trump, we have to stick together and fight back, and that's what [Latino Victory] is doing."
Latino Victory Fund president Cristóbal J. Alex called Soto "a relentless advocate for Florida families."
"From protecting our environment for future generations to standing up to the NRA, he has earned his progressive stripes in Congress," Alex said.
The Democratic primary battle for U.S. Congress between Darren Soto and Alan Grayson cuts across ethnic and ideological lines – and each candidate feels they can bridge the divide.
The Latino Victory statement takes some direct shots at Grayson, calling him a "disgraced former congressman" and "a polarizing figure.''
"Grayson ran for the U.S. Senate in 2016 but failed to secure the support of his fellow Democrats," Latino Victory said. "He is now seeking to represent a district where he no longer resides."
Grayson responded, "If the Latino Victory Fund actually wants to improve the lives of Latinos suffering under the Trump regime, then perhaps it should be concentrating on helping the Democrats win the House in November."

The Lowdown on Beets
Beets are tasty, sweet, and colorful. And speaking of color, they come in more than that deep passionate reddish purple you typically associate with this healthy, fiber-filled root vegetable. Beets also come in yellow, even white, just so cooks can have a little variety on the plate. While most beets are round with the wispy tail that keeps them anchored ever-so-gently in the soil, they can also be smallish and long, even slender. Incredibly hearty, growing beets is easy because they love cool seasons, have quick grow cycles, do well in northern climates, and can even survive frosts and nearly freezing temperatures.
6 Health Benefits of Beets | Healthy is as Hearty Does
All that fast-acting, cool climatizing beet activity makes for some terrific health benefits. Six reasons beets pack an unusual healthy punch include:
- Anti-cancer properties: The uber powerful phytonutrients that give beets their deep red/purple color help ward off cancer. According to studies, beetroot extract in drinking water reduced tumor formations in multiple organs in several animal models. Currently, beet 'therapy' is being studied as an anti-cancer treatment for human pancreatic, prostate, and breast cancers.
- Energy and stamina boost: Drinking beet juice prior to exercising increases stamina and endurance.
- Detoxification: Eating beets or drinking fresh beet juice helps the liver remove toxins and buildup.
- Fights Inflammation: Betaines found in beets have been known to reduce levels of certain inflammatory markers and are currently being studied as a nutrient to improve heart health.
- Lower blood pressure: It has been found that drinking beet juice lowers blood pressure in just a few hours and, in some studies, drops it by 4 to 5 points.
- Vitamin C and fiber rich: Besides being rich in fiber, beets are also loaded with vitamin C, potassium, and vitamin B folate, among many others.
Grow Beets Grow
Beets can be planted in the spring and fall, which makes them readily available as a fresh vegetable throughout much of the year. Because they like cool temperatures, it is important the soil be around 50 degrees when planting seedlings. Beets require plenty of sunlight so choose your garden space accordingly. By following the easy steps below for beet seed preparation and planting, you can enjoy this healthy vegetable in a few short weeks.
- We recommend growing beets from seeds as they don't transplant well. Choose seed varieties for your region and check the number of days for them to mature. Buy enough packets for planting in seed clusters.
- Prepare the garden soil for 12 inch depths, making sure it is free of rocks. (Beets can also be grown in pots allowing the same depth.) Make sure the garden area you've selected gets plenty of sunlight and, if potassium poor, add bone meal for enrichment.
- Consider companion plants to surround your beets. They grow nicely with onions, lettuce, broccoli, bush beans (with the exception of runner beans) and lettuce as neighbors.
- Since beet seeds are tough, we recommend soaking overnight. Just make sure you plant them the following day.
- After hoeing a row, water soil thoroughly and plant seeds in seed clusters about 1/2 inch apart, 1 to 2 inches deep.
- Keep the row consistently moist for approximately 3 to 5 days. If the ground gets too dry, lay burlap over the seeds and water. The burlap will trap moisture seeds need for proper germination; remove burlap once sprouted.
- Once sprouted, thin them to about 3 inches apart so roots have room to develop.
- As stems begin to grow, keep them sufficiently watered and weeded. If roots become exposed, add mulch for cover.
- Most beet varieties grow quickly, maturing in about 6 to 8 weeks. Plant a new crop every 2 to 3 weeks for ongoing production.
TLC Beet Care
So your beets seedlings are up, thinned, and thriving. Once beets are approximately 2 inches high, pinch off multiple sprouts from the top (not the bottom) to prevent choking. When plants are established, thin to 3 to 4 inches ratios between plants. Continue to water and mulch your beets as they grow. Optimal moisture should not allow wet soil near the beets to stick to your finger when inserted at 1 inch depths. Remember, too, beet's shallow roots can be disturbed easily so cultivate and weed gently.
Controlling Those Pesky Pests
Pests are common interlopers in gardens with some of them attacking specific plants such as beets. The single most important thing a gardener can do to keep most pests away is to weed regularly. Wood ash sprinkled around plant bases can keep out certain pests like cutworms who love beets. Dusting with Sevin or rotenone can control or eliminate flea beetles, the cabbage looper, blister beetles, armyworms and grasshoppers. Tell-tale signs that pests are infesting your beet crop include seedlings eaten near soil level, tiny irregular holes chewed in leaves, etc. In the case of blister beetles, the whole leaves will be eaten. Pick up off any visible slugs, bugs, beetles or worms and dust with the pesticide of choice for your area of the country.
Let the Beet Feast Begin: Harvesting
Novice gardeners may not know it but beet greens can be eaten as well as the root. In fact, the greens are so rich in some nutrients, they outflank some of their vegetable companions. For example, there's more iron in beet greens than spinach, pound for pound. Vitamin K is another massively rich nutrient found in beet greens, with a staggering 774% concentration--more than just about any other vegetable. And these are just a few of the benefits of the leafy green stems. They are also rich in Vitamins A, C, E, and most of the B vitamins. Plus, mineral-rich beet greens are loaded with potassium, magnesium, manganese, calcium, phosphorous and zinc, among others.
Harvesting Beet Greens
Best when small and tender, once the beet greens reach between 2 to 3 inches (but no larger than 4 to 5 inches,) clip them off with scissors to ensure some leaves remain while the roots continue growing. Since beet greens don't keep for long even refrigerated, it's best to eat them within a day, no more than 2, after clipping.
Harvesting Beet Roots
Beet roots are ready for harvest when they are approximately 1 to 3 inches in diameter. Pull gently from the soil or dig them out, leaving an inch of leaf structure on top to keep beet intact for storage. Wash in cool water so your beets last for a number of months and still taste as fresh as the day you harvested them.

Character in Real Life - One-Minute Testimonials
DECISIVENESS – A One-Minute Testimonial Announcement
Faith Committee, Character Council of Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky
Contributed by Pam Elcik
Community Leader, Fairfield, OH
February 20, 2001
Just Be Decisive
We all agree that it's good to be decisive – wise, prompt and resolute in making decisions. Decisiveness is a strength. Indecisiveness is a weakness. Throughout history the difference has been underscored:
"Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide."
Napoleon Bonaparte
"There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision. "
William James
"In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing."
Theodore Roosevelt
"Nothing is so exhausting as indecision, and nothing is so futile."
Bertrand Russell
If we think about it, the good life is about living large, about expressing the joy and love of life. It's about song, exuberance, and "going for it". Success depends on the courage to act, and courage in turn requires a level of faith that every opportunity acted upon will lead to more and better ways to serve, learn, grow and prosper. Life requires decisiveness, action, and boldness.
Perhaps it might help us all if we followed the advice of Yoda (in The Empire Strikes Back). "Do, or do not. There is no 'try'."

USTDA, NNPC sign $1m grant for 1,350mw Abuja power plant
The United States Government, through its Trade Development Agency, USTDA, has offered a grant of $1 million to Nigeria for the construction of a 1,350 megawatts gas-fired power plant in Gwagwalada, Abuja.
US Ambassador to Nigeria, Mary Beth Leonard, who witnessed the signing, said the project will be handled by a US company, General Electric, GE, adding that when completed, the power plant would take advantage of the domestic gas resources and help address Nigeria's existing critical energy needs.
Leonard stressed that the United States has deep expertise in the gas sector and offers unequal expertise in conducting analytical studies, adding that there was no better partner to develop the new power plant than general electric.
"Today, the US Trade and Development Agency and NNPC's gas and power investment company are signing a grant that will provide the in-depth technical, economic and financial analysis necessary to develop a major new source of energy, an exciting 1,350 megawatts natural gas power plant here in Abuja," she said.
According to her, the project demonstrates the US Government's commitment to strengthen Nigeria's energy sector and its enduring partnership with the government of Nigeria, and will join other high profile energy sector projects that the US TDA is supporting across the country.
Speaking further on the benefits of the project, she expressed excitement about what its successful completion would mean for the greater prosperity of Nigeria, adding that Nigeria's huge gas reserve has remained largely untapped creating an incredible opportunity for additional production, increased domestic utilization and eventually export to the global market place.
Leonard said USTDA has funded a diverse array of studies that are building Nigeria's energy capacity, which includes the expansion and deployment of the gas gathering processing project in the Niger Delta that focuses on decreasing the negative environmental, social and economic impact of gas flaring and reinjection.
"USTDA has also funded visibility studies for the development of a virtual pipeline gas transportation link that can process gas and transport it by a truck to customers for power and feedstock, thereby diversifying the country's energy industry," she said.
Also speaking, the Acting Director of USTDA, Tom Hardy, who signed the grant on behalf of the US Government, said the $1.16 million project will utilize indigenous gas resources to address the growing demand for power in Abuja.
Tom said since 1992 USTDA has funded more than 65 activities in Nigeria, which have leveraged nearly $13 billion in financing, adding that the project advances the US' Power Africa, Prosper Africa and Doing Business in Africa Initiatives.
He said a USTDA feasibility study will be carried out to provide informed analysis needed to address critical energy generation in Nigeria, adding that it will also build upon USTDA's commitment to working with their Nigerian partners to develop and expand the nation's domestic gas sector.
In his remarks, the Group Managing Director of NNPC, Mallam Mele Kyari, who signed the grant on behalf of Nigeria, said the grant would provide technical, economic and financial analyses necessary for the development of the combined cycle natural gas-fired power plant to be sited in Gwagwalada, Abuja.
"We all know that there must be a framework. We all know that there are so many delayed projects in this Industry that have to do with delivering gas to the domestic market for so many reasons. One of them is inability to secure financing and other fiscal issues that we are all familiar with and they have to be resolved. What we have to do is to create infrastructure that will deliver gas to the domestic market and we are already doing that," he assured.
The NNPC boss said the corporation had already delivered the Oben-Obrikun and Obiafu, OB3, gas pipelines, expanded the Escravos-Lagos Pipeline System 2, ELPS 2, with her partners and about constructing the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano, AKK, pipeline which would deliver gas from the OB3 line to Kano.
According to him, along that corridor, the plan is for the NNPC to build three independent power plants in Abuja, Kaduna and Kano, stressing that the strategy would enable the debottlenecking of power into the grid to ensure stable power supply.

World War 1 Centennial Network founder Paul Cora recently had the opportunity to ask author Richard Rubin about his perspectives on the American experience in World War I based on his recent book THE LAST OF THE DOUGHBOYS. What follows is an insightful slice of the back story behind the book and its author.
PC: How did you become interested in finding and meeting America's last veterans of the First World War- i.e. – has WW1 been a long standing interest for you, or was there some significant discovery or experience that made you want to embark on the project that ultimately led to your book?
RR: I've been interested in World War I since I was a child – for so long, really, that it's hard to say exactly how it started. Was it Snoopy? Some old documentary that was on TV in the background as I played with Legos on the floor? The framed portrait of my grandfather in his A.E.F. uniform that hung on the wall in my brother's room? I don't know, but I do remember, very vividly, my mother pointing out the Bronx VA hospital one day as we rode past it on our way into the city, and she told me – this was in the mid-1970's, when I was maybe 7 or 8 years old – that there were still men in there who had never recovered from being gassed in World War I. That made a very strong impression on me. Clearly.
I can say that I've also been interested in the notion of "lasts" for quite some time; I read the obituaries every day, and those are the ones I remember best – the last survivor of the Titanic, the last living speaker of a certain language, etc. I even wrote an essay on the subject, "But Not Least," for the Atlantic Monthly back in 1997.
The immediate impetus for this project was a radio interview I heard back in early 2003, in which the guest, who had something to do with commemorating World War II, said in a very urgent tone that 1,000 WWII veterans were dying every day, and that we needed to get their stories while we still could. Usually I would just nod in agreement and keep on working, but for some reason, that day, I thought: "Well, what about World War I veterans? Can somebody still get any of their stories?"
PC: How can today's generations connect with the experiences and lives of the Americans who went "Over There" nearly a hundred years ago, in your view? What can their stories teach Americans today?
RR: World War I was, in a great many ways, the first "modern" war, not only in terms of technology on and off the battlefield, but in terms of the concerns and perspectives of the men and women who fought it, as well as those on the home front. They spoke, for the most part, like we do; their faces look familiar to us. When I look at one of those long photographs of a unit in the AEF, I often marvel at how much the men in it look like people I see walking around today, which is not the case with, say, the Civil War. I've read 95-year-old letters from the trenches that are filled with slang – and even profanities – that I hear on the street every day. More important, just about every facet of American life today – from civil rights and gender equality to population trends and agricultural policy – has its roots in the First World War.
Their story, really, is our story. The war was controversial, to say the least; a lot of people didn't want us to get into it, and some were even sent to prison for speaking out against it once we did. The media were often complicit with the military and the government; foreign saboteurs wreaked havoc and sowed panic at home. People were the objects of bigotry, even persecution, because of the sound of their last name or the color of their skin. Soldiers wrestled with the wisdom of their orders, and questioned the malevolence of the enemy. They were subjected to horrible new weapons, and saw and did things that threatened their equilibrium, and even their sanity. Yet they also learned to overcome their differences, to work together for a higher good, to transcend hardship and do profoundly courageous things. Their stories, in short, can teach us the value of our inheritance as Americans, and how we can emulate their example and honor their legacy.
PC: What was the most surprising personal discovery in your research and writing of THE LAST OF THE DOUGHBOYS ?
RR: Probably that these very old men and women – their median age was 107 – were real people, and not gods. That sounds silly, I know, but I'd never met anyone that old before I started this project, and they seemed kind of mythical to me. I think there was a part of me that believed, when I set out to find them, that I wouldn't really be able to "interview" them, that at best trying to talk to somebody that old about things they had seen and done 85, 90, 100 years earlier would be like reading a book – a one-way interaction, in which they said what they had to say, and I just sat there, poised, to try to catch as much of it as I could. But in most cases, I could actually have real two-way conversations with them, in which I could ask them questions and they could ponder the matter for a moment and then reply, specifically, to what I had asked; and, in some cases, ask me questions, too. That seems like a simple matter, but I really didn't know, going into it, if I could do something like that with someone so old. Fortunately for me, I could, and to a much greater extent than I had any right to expect beforehand. Now they seem so alive to me that, even though they've all been gone for years, I still catch myself thinking about picking up the phone to ask them just one more question.
The other thing that really surprised me – even more than what I just said – was how willing these very old men and women were to talk to me. Not just willing – they were eager. You always hear that veterans don't like talking about their wartime experiences, and for good reason, and I'm sure this was the case with World War I veterans as much as others; I can't tell you how many people I've heard from since this book was published who tell me that their father or grandfather fought in that war but would never discuss it. For some reason, though, that wasn't the case with these last living WWI veterans. Maybe it's because I came along so late, and they had at long last had enough time to make their peace with what they had seen and done Over There; maybe they realized how remarkable it was that they had lived so long, and felt some sort of obligation to do something important – like handing off their memories to someone younger – with their unexpected bonus. Or maybe their willingness to talk was just a function of their stoicism, which I suspect is one of the things that enabled them to live so long. They saw some terrible things; no one could have blamed them for saying "I don't want to talk about that." But they didn't. I was very, very lucky.
PC: The American national memory of World War I is different from that of most other nations which were involved (and, indeed, different from that of the other conflicts Americans have fought over the last century), and getting Americans interested in the centenary of the war therefore presents a special challenge. What, in your view, were the strongest elements which went into the making of our national collective memory of "The War to End All Wars"?
RR: There were two: The first was the trauma America suffered as a result of the war. In just nineteen months, we lost 117,000 men; afterward, people started wondering what it was all for, and many of them had a hard time coming up with answers. After all, we hadn't been attacked, as we would be a generation later at Pearl Harbor; and as it became more and more apparent that the world hadn't been made Safe for Democracy, and that this war hadn't Ended All Wars, A lot of cognitive dissonance set in, and America withdrew into itself.
One of the results of that was that Americans, who had produced an awful lot of books about that war while it was going on, and for a few years afterward, stopped writing about it pretty suddenly. The British, though, never did – if anything, their output on the subject increased as years went by – and so British histories, which were the only histories still being written in English, eventually supplanted American histories as the narrative of the war in this country. Back then, the British were still pretty upset that America hadn't entered the war when they did, in 1914, and their histories of that era have a pronounced anti-American bias: Their view, in essence, is that America showed up quite late to the party, and didn't really do anything once they got there. (Some British historians still believe this.) Over the course of decades of this treatment, most Americans, I think, adopted this tragically inaccurate view of their role in the First World War, and, in my experience, American World War I veterans weren't the type to stand up for themselves and remind people that they had, in fact, made an indispensible contribution to winning the war. They weren't the kind of people who cared to draw attention to themselves. Now that they're all gone, I think we owe it to them to set the record straight. Americans should know just how much we did to win World War I, and how differently things would have turned out if we hadn't fought.
PC: As a project, how would you compare the experience of researching and writing THE LAST OF THE DOUGHBOYS with that of your other major writing projects, especially CONFEDERACY OF SILENCE ?
RR: Most of what I do as a journalist involves researching a story thoroughly and then seeking out people to interview about this or that aspect of it. In this case, I didn't have the luxury of researching the story first, because the people I was hoping to interview were very, very old, and I needed to get to them right away. So I spent several years finding and interviewing people, and was only able to begin research after that phase of the process was finished. What that meant was that, with very rare exceptions, I wasn't able to follow-up with the subject if I discovered some discrepancies between their stories and the official record (which I often did), because they had already passed away. So in a way, I did this book backwards.
Confederacy of Silence was a memoir, which meant that most of the research I did for that book involved plumbing my own memory; even so, the writing process for The Last of the Doughboys was fairly similar to the writing process for Confederacy of Silence. In both cases I had a tremendous amount of information to organize and then fit together like a mosaic. And both books were really, in some way, a matter of inviting the reader to take a journey with me: In Confederacy, the journey was to the Mississippi of my 20's, in the 1980's and '90's; in Doughboys, it was to the homes, and the memories, of the last few living veterans of the First World War. The books I like to read most all seem to involve some kind of journey or other, so perhaps that's just how I'm inclined to view a good story.
I was a history major in college, but I'm not an historian, and I'm certainly not a military historian. While I always take great pains to make sure everything I write is entirely factual and accurate – part of that is my training as a journalist, and part is just my personality. That's one reason that it took me ten years to write Doughboys, when I finished Confederacy in about a third that time – that, and the fact that there was just a great deal more information to process, and triage, and organize, and verify.

Last week visits to the site topped 3459 with massive interest in the fate of AssetCo, the collapsing private fire company which owns London's and Lincolnshire's fire engines. Two blogs attracted over 2500 hits. A big number came from the Fire Brigades union (many thanks), but a significant minority are people picking up the blog from three small investor sites – as speculators wonder whether to dump their shares or throw more money at it. With shares at just 3.50p at the moment the company is little more than junk stock.
A sudden rush on an older blog exposing how the environment ministry has biased its " red tape" review of green laws and regulations to favour burdens on business at the expense of the benefits of the law, has attracted over 940 hits. Thanks to environment campaigner, George Monbiot, for retweeting it and attracting extra trade and a few subscriptions.
Expect now a pause in blogging as I am off to the tranquil and peaceful delights of the Isles of Scilly for hopefully an accident free holiday ( after my fall there last time!).

New figures released by the ONS have revealed that in the three months to September 2019, the state of productivity in the UK showed zero growth.
Labour productivity for Quarter 3 of 2019 had no growth compared to the same period last year. Meanwhile the output per worker also showed no growth, at 0%, in Quarter 3 2019, compared with the same quarter in the previous year.
Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) National Chairman Mike Cherry, said: "Today's figures just go to highlight the scale of the problem that the country has when it comes to productivity.
"Months of uncertainty have done nothing to help small businesses which have been struggling under the weight of rising costs, soaring business rates and continued difficulties in the economy.
"It's critical that the next Government gives the economy a much needed shot in the arm by investing in new infrastructure such as broadband and 5G networks, giving small firms the best tools available to flourish.
"In order to increase productivity, it's vital that we encourage new innovations through R&D. This vcan be done through making the tax credit system as well as the Patent Box tax relief, more accessible to small firms who innovate which would be a big step forwards as small businesses, are likely to lack dedicated R&D and accounting departments.
"Small firms are the backbone of the UK economy and this is why it's more important than ever that they are given the support needed to invest, grow and succeed."
