The London Review of Books is celebrating its 40th anniversary, but somehow the magazine has always felt older than that: not like the product of a stuffier age, but of a more textually and intellectually lavish one than the late 1970s. Pick up an early issue and you'll see that, as much as it has evolved in the details, the basic project of the LRB remains the same: publishing essays of the highest quality on a variety of subjects literary, political, and otherwise, allowing their writers a length sufficient for proper engagement of both subject and reader, and — perhaps most admirably of all — refusing, in this age of internet media, to burden them with semi-relevant pictures and clickbait headlines.
"Much in those early numbers still looks fresh," writes Susannah Clapp, who worked at the LRB during its first thirteen years. "But the apparatus and surroundings that produced them seem antique. Typewriters. Letters covered in blotches of Tipp-Ex, for which the office name was 'eczema.' No screens; hand-drawn maps for layout; tins of Cow Gum." The cow gum was an essential tool of the trade for Bryony Dalefield, who since 1982 has worked "pretty near continuously" for the LRB as what's called a "paste-up artist." In the video above, she describes how her job — whose title remains "pleasingly still in the vocabulary in the digital age" — once involved "literally cutting up copy and pasting it onto a board so it could be sent to the printers and photographed for printing."
Dalefield doesn't just recount the process but performs it, summoning a presumably long-dormant but well-honed suite of skills to paste up a current page of the LRB just as she did it in the 80s. First she takes the text of an article, fresh from the print shop, and cuts it into columns with scissors. Then she spreads the Cow Gum, with its "strong petrol smell," to fix the columns to the board, fearing all the while that she'll stick them on out of order. Even in order, they usually require the addition or removal of words to fit just right on the page, and at the LRB, a publication to whose meticulous editing process each and every contributor can attest, another round of edits follows the first pasting. We then see why X-ACTO knives are called that, since using one to replace individual words and phrases on paper demands no small degree of exactitude.
With the wrong bits cut out and the right ones pasted in and held down with Magic Tape, the completed page is ready to be sent back to the printer. Pasting-up, which Dalefield frames as a marrying of the work of editors and typographers, will seem astonishingly labor-intensive to most anyone under the age of 50, few of whom even know how magazines and newspapers put together their pages before the advent of desktop publishing. But the very word "desktop," in the computer-interface sense, speaks to the metaphorical persistence of the old ways through what Dalefield calls the "falling out of trades" in the digital age. I myself have done a fair bit of "cutting," "copying," and "pasting" writing this very post — but I suppose I never did say, "Oh, that's very sticky" while doing so.

text: Three international airports will be closed for four hours on June 3 to commemorate the 28th death anniversary of Imam Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic. Based on an announcement by the Iranian Airports Company, Mehrabad, Payam, and Imam Khomeini international airports will be closed from 7:45 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., during which a ceremony to pay respects to the father of the 1979 Islamic Revolution will be underway. IRNA quoted an IAC official as saying that foreign and domestic airlines have been informed of the decision and air transport companies are instructed to make necessary arrangements. All flights before 7:45 a.m. and after 12:00 p.m. will be carried out as schedule, but those due to land and takeoff between those hours would be delayed. Built to replace Mehrabad as the country's main airline hub, Imam Khomeini International Airport serves almost 50 airlines carrying over seven million passengers every year to and from 30 countries and territories worldwide. Nevertheless, Mehrabad is still by far the busiest airport in Iran in terms of passenger traffic and aircraft movements, handling 13.5 million passengers in 2015. Payam Airport is an international cargo airport in Karaj, 40 kilometers from Tehran, in Alborz Province.

Why do I need a Dutch oven?
Dutch ovens are prized cooking vessels by chefs, home cooks and camping enthusiasts. Traditionally they are made by casting iron in sand molds. Some manufacturers produce heavy-duty aluminum cookware with a flat bottom, tight fitting lid and deep sides and call them Dutch Ovens.
Versatile cookware, Dutch ovens are ideal for long braises, boiling, frying, roasting and even baking. The cast iron creates an ideal material known for uniform heat distribution, heat retention, and durability.
Dutch ovens-care, seasoning, why to use, after the jump
Models with a flanged top are favored for outdoor cooking over coals; the coals from the fire can be loaded on top of the lid, allowing heat distribution from both under and over the pot, creating an oven effect.
In the kitchen, a Dutch oven can be used stove- top to start a braise, brown meat and poultry, then placed in the oven to finish the cooking. Bread bakers use Dutch Ovens to create crusty boules using no knead dough.
Dutch ovens are made in a variety of sizes, styles and pricing. Special shapes include a mussel pot, for preparing and serving mussels, and minis for individual servings of soups, casseroles and desserts. The American-made Lodge, the French Le Creuset and Staub all make quality products. Prices range from $35 to $350. Features you want: cast iron, tight fitting lid, handles and knobs that are removable or oven proof, made in USA or Europe.

Staub introduced self -braising spikes on the inside of the lid, a feature we recommend.
A good size for the family cook is 6 or 8 quart. An oval shape is ideal for roasts and poultry. The round shape is practical for chili, soups, stews, and meats on the bone (short ribs, veal shanks). For stovetop to oven cooking, a Dutch oven should have handles and knobs that are oven friendly.
Black cast iron needs to be seasoned before use. To season: Wash in hot soapy water, dry thoroughly. Rub with solid vegetable oil (Crisco) or lard. Place in a 250 F oven for 2-3 hours. Remove and cool. Seasoning seals the pores in the metal. Skip the process for enamel coated (almost a non-stick surface) and pre-seasoned Dutch ovens. Avoid washing a Dutch oven in the dishwasher.
Do you need one? Coq au Vin, French Onion Soup, Braised Short Ribs, Baked Beans, Beef Bourguignon, Chili, Yankee Pot Roast, Gumbo, Pho, Biscuits, Cobbler? Stove top to oven to table. This pot cooks and serves, go for it!

AFC Bournemouth have never been known as a defence-minded side.
During both spells under manager Eddie Howe, a former England Under 21's centre back, the defence has always been sacrificed for attacking intent.
"We play from the back, with pace in attack" has been the song from the terraces since Howe's return to Dean Court in 2012, which saw a 6 month turn around from relegation places in the third tier of English football to promotion.
The philosophy hasn't changed, from early day heavy defeats in the Championship, through to that promotion-winning side and now fast forward into the fifth season in the Premier League.
With Saturday's victory over Manchester United, the Cherries moved into seventh place in the top flight of English football. 16 points from the opening 11 games and remarkably on a positive goal difference.
The defensive side of AFC Bournemouth's game has improved, this season, with the Cherries having now goal 351 minutes without conceding a goal.
AFC Bournemouth captain Steve Cook has been immense in recent weeks, looking like he is now fully recovered from an injury which hampered his pre-season preparations.
The emergence of Aaron Ramsdale from League One hero whilst on loan at AFC Wimbledon last season, to fully-fledged and confident Premier League goalkeeper has also played its part.
Both men have earned to be in contention for an England call-up in many peoples view and they could well answer a few questions that England manager Gareth Southgate has been attempting to answer.

AFC Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe told the Daily Echo…
"I was really pleased with the defensive performance, Steve Cook and Nathan Ake first and foremost gave us the foundation for that win, I think…"
"…The two full-backs (Adam Smith and Diego Rico) had their hands full with the pace of their two wingers and I thought they did really well.
"Aaron (Ramsdale) when called upon made a couple of great saves at the end.
"Defensively we are moving in the right direction with the three clean sheets. We still have work to do."
Your say…

3 clean sheets in a row
Is this a first for us in the Premier League?
Cook and Ake were absolute rocks today.
Smith has been excellent since he came back from injury and as I've previously mentioned Rico is a completely different player to last a season. Kelly will be waiting for a start until the FA Cup at this rate.
Billing and Lerma tracking back and complimenting the defence brilliantly also.
And as for Rambo – what can you say? The lad is already a legend and he's only played 11 games for us. Absolutely genius move to make him our No 1.
England should be coming knocking for Cook and Ramsdale imminently – Join the conversation, click here.

The XXIX edition of the Cala Gonone Jazz Festival begins at the Teatro Comunale at 7.00 pm with an opening dedicated to the visual arts of photography and painting. As usual, there will be a Gino Crisponi photo exhibition "No flash please!" In a renovated space, dedicated to the man who has been able to create and impress the spirit of the festival since its inception.

The group arrives to tread the scenes in a moment of transition for jazz: when the genre began to move towards a more acoustic direction, they opted to experiment with every polyrhythm of blues, pop, R & B and jazz. With the entry of Bob Minzer on sax and Wlliam Kennedy on drums, the band undergoes a further artistic evolution towards an old school jazz skillfully adapted from electronic sounds of Ferrante to keyboards and Haslip to electric bass. Among numerous awards, their career continues uninterrupted with some substitutions in the staff until the entry of Dane Alderson, virtuoso of the electric bass in 2015.
In 2016 their latest effort comes out, Cohearence, defined by Ferrante as a work inside which "harmony, balance, symmetry and homogeneity" are hidden, introspective and personal in its mix of exciting classic aspects connected to a feeling belonging to the American tradition in full style Yellow Jackets.

Recently on Spotify his music has totaled 15 million plays. For October of this year the release of his album is planned, inspired by the last work of the illustrator Igort.
MICHAEL BLAKE 4et Michael Blake - sax tenore; Giovanni Guidi - piano; Joe Rehmer - contrabbasso; Fabrizio Sferra- batteria
The curtain falls for this edition and the theater slowly closes its curtains at 22.00 with the Michael Blake 4et. It is a sax without bridle and infused with a great energy that of the visionary Blake that will involve the dancing plan of Giovanni Guidi, the eclecticism of the drums of Fabrizio Sferra ferra and the warm sound of the double bass of Joe Rehmer.
For thirty years, the composer and saxophonist Michael Blake still arouses feelings of wonder and amazement between public and critics. His performances are punctuated by the pure and robust sound of his soprano, with a distinctive, energetic and original style. Born in Montreal and raised in Vancouver, for twenty-five years he has made New York his refuge, a city that provides him with a continuous stream of inspiration.
In 2013 he received the Chamber Music America's New Jazz Works Grant and in Vancouver he was commissioned a suite for the 100th anniversary of the Canadian tragedy of Kamagata Maru, which took place in 1914.
With the release of twelve albums as a leader, Blake boasts countless collaborations and masterful improvised live sessions: in 2010 he recorded Hellbent alongside the wild percussion of Calvin Weston, the trumpet of Steven Bernstein and the tuba of Marcus Rojas. Blake is constantly looking for new ways to get in touch with other artists and their instruments and – with the drummer Kresten Osgood – incide Control This, an album in duo that, like Kingdom of Champa, is considered one of his masterpieces. He was a composer of the Jazz Composers Collective, a non-profit organization in which he presented many of his works and in the same period he joined the Slow Poke, a rock formation. Blake also teaches and organizes seminars in the United States, Canada, Asia, Brazil and Europe, he also works at the Siena Jazz Foundation since 2009 where he is recognized a great temperament, patience, enthusiasm and humor, while he collects and disseminates anecdotal experience as a teacher in his blog.

When Margaret Thatcher, former prime minister of Britain, died last week, millions mourned.
This was especially true in the United States, where a survey showed about seven of 10 Americans liked her, four of them very much.
She is the ideological twin of America's Ronald Reagan, whose Reaganomics matched her Thatcherism, with both economic policies inimical to high taxes and big government.
Meryl Streep's sympathetic portrayal of her in the 2011 film "The Iron Lady" enhanced her image. Streep played with bravura Maggie Thatcher as rising star and then national leader at the height of power. She also played her with sensitivity as an elderly recluse in the merciless grip of dementia.
The British population is divided between her fierce admirers and those gleeful at her death. When Thatcher haters heard she died, they poured into the streets dancing and singing, "Ding Dong, the Witch Is Dead!"
Now they are clamoring for BBC to air that song.
The real witches — practitioners of Wicca, a modern pagan religion — angrily protest the comparison. They rattle off her "evil deeds," which no self-respecting witch would inflict.
These were the side effects of Thatcherism: the slaughter of the coal miners' unions, the massacre of small and medium enterprises by supermarkets and big business, the downside of privatization, the massive reduction in welfare spending.
Thatcherites are waging a robust counterprotest. They urge people to buy the punk single, "I'm in Love With Maggie Thatcher."
Meanwhile, Scotland Yard braces for possible violence at her funeral. In death, as much as she was in life, she is an immense polarizing presence.
She wouldn't have risen to power if she had served an Asian constituency. Asia has its share of women leaders, but there is always some bigger-than-life patriarch — father, husband or brother — associated with their rise. That's true of South Korea's Park Geun-hye, Thailand's Yingluck Shinawatra, Indonesia's Megawati Soekarnoputri, the Philippines' Corazon Aquino. Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi is no exception.
Maggie Thatcher had an inspiring father and some male political mentors but none had a very large presence.
Hence, she never deferred to men. She was often the only woman in a room full of men of high station, but she won every debate and made all the decisions.
They called her "the Iron Lady" because she never betrayed her emotions. She appeared to be all policy and no feelings. The feminist movement disowned her because she didn't behave "like a woman." She was disparaged for her lower-class birth, being a grocer's daughter.
Yet few made history the way she did. She lifted Britain from the socialist morass that followed World War II. Maybe she overdid the free market buildup, but she restored British pride and gave Britain a booming voice in international affairs.
The only British prime minister to win three successive elections starting with a landslide win in 1979, she led the nation to a triumphant war against Argentina over the Falklands in 1982. Then she teamed up with President Reagan in managing the defrost of the Cold War and the meltdown of the Soviet Union.
After losing office in 1990 by daring to be unpopular, she was succeeded by a series of prime ministers, the best of whom, Tony Blair, was a pale version of her.
What the world doesn't know is the real Maggie, who had a happy marriage with a businessman, Denis Thatcher, who did not begrudge her fame. Already prime minister, she still cooked breakfast for her children and dinner for him.
She was devastated when Denis died in 2003.
No philistine, she read books and loved music.She was, after all, as human as you and I and the housewife next door.

Redshirt senior guard Shaqquan Aaron celebrates for his team during a game against Robert Morris Nov. 6 at Galen Center. (Josh Dunst/Daily Trojan)No power conference has had a single bid in the NCAA men's basketball tournament since it expanded to 64 teams in 1985, but this year's iteration of the Pac-12 has a chance to be the first. With no ranked teams and none in the KenPom top 40, the conference is on a virtually unprecedented level of futility.CBS Sports' Jerry Palm currently projects the Pac-12 to have two tournament teams, which would be the fewest for a Power 5 conference since the Pac-12 had two in 2012. This continues the trend of the Pac-12's comparative weakness. Including its previous iteration as the Pac-10, it is the only power conference that has had just two bids in a tournament, which has occurred five times.The conference's ineptitude runs deep and across multiple areas. According to CBS' Matt Norlander, Pac-12 teams had a 92-58 record against Division I opponents during non-conference play, which doesn't sound bad, until you realize that a lot of those games were against non-Power 5 schools.A perfect set of catastrophic events has taken the bite out of the conference's traditionally elite programs. As previously stated, Oregon lost a possible top-five pick in the NBA Draft in Bol. Arizona lost talented recruits, such as Shareef O'Neal, due to its involvement in the FBI's corruption investigation. Right before the new year, UCLA fired head coach Steve Alford after defensive issues plagued the Bruins during a 7-6 start.USC's struggles have certainly played a role in the Pac-12's lackluster results. The Trojans are at 9-6 and went winless in four games against non-conference Power 5 opponents. Double-digit losses to Texas Tech, TCU, Oklahoma and Nevada proved that USC still doesn't measure up to higher level programs. A 102-92 loss at Santa Clara was the low point in a wildly inconsistent early season performance.USC has had to deal with important injuries early in the season, as senior forward Bennie Boatwright and freshman guards Kevin Porter and Elijah Weaver have missed multiple games. The team also lost valuable forward contributors in Chimezie Metu and guards Jordan McLaughlin and Elijah Stewart, to the professional ranks. But the Trojans are still struggling for a team with their talent, which is particularly stinging considering how the conference is up for grabs.USC's task is the same as almost every other Pac-12 team: Since a victory in the conference tournament cannot be guaranteed, any team that wants a non-automatic bid will have to play well above its current performance in conference play. Each team already has at least four losses in the first few games of conference play, which will only get worse as the programs beat up on each other.The conference's collective incompetence has left it in a no-win situation entering as conference play continues. The Pac-12 needs a few teams to beat up on all the others, yet every team was so bad in the beginning that hardly any of those wins will be considered impressive by the selection committee. If a few teams rise above the rest but beat each other, the committee might feel that none of them has an adequate resume. If one team dominates and wins the conference tournament, that automatic bid will likely be the only one the conference gets.Norlander outlined the scenario for the conference to get three bids: "Arizona State, Oregon, Washington and Arizona practically need to go undefeated against the rest of the conference (will not happen) and take swipes only at each other to best serve the Pac-12 come Selection Sunday." Given that Oregon and Arizona State already have conference losses, Norlander's skepticism seems merited.The Pac-12 had just three teams go to the 2018 NCAA Tournament, none of whom managed to win a game. This is an escalation of the conference's inadequacy and should be a major wake-up call for its athletic directors.

Five Ways to Generate Leads
Every business needs an influx of new prospects into their marketing and sales funnel to build the right relationships to close more sales. I have seen and worked with many businesses who have struggled to find the right mix of marketing activities and lead generation tactics to keep their sales team fed with good quality leads. At the end of the day, the best converting lead gen campaign is the one that resonates the best with your target audience and is the easiest for them to get the information they want. So here are 5 of the best lead gen tactics to increase your leads.
1. The Quintessential Landing Page
There is a multitude of landing page types, offer based, sales based, and so on. The best landing pages focus on getting the viewer to do ONE THING. If you are promoting a white paper and are trying to generate leads don't let the viewer engage with anything else, and certainly, don't let them leave the page to engage with other content. Remove all navigation, dedicate the design and copy to the specific topic and offer you are promoting, and personalize it to your audience, the device type and how they are coming to the page. To get the most out of your paid ad spend via PPC or social ads you need to send your traffic to a dedicated landing page.
2. Video players with forms
Video is becoming one of the best content types to use in social, on your website, in blog posts, pretty much everywhere. With platforms like Wistia and Vidyard you can generate leads right from the video player. These are great for SaaS demo videos that can at the end of the video ask the viewer if they want to talk to sign up for a free trial or talk to sales. If you have on-demand webinars let people see the first 30 seconds, then prompt them to provide contact information to watch the rest of the webinar. Videos with integrated from capture are great because you already have the viewers attention and they can take the action immediately, without any excess clicks or page loads to get in the way.
3. Chat really is a thing
Your buyers want answers, and they don't have time to search through blog content or schedule a meeting next week. They are ready now, right now to get an answer to move through their buying process.
Most buyers use a chat when they are in a transition stage in their buying process, and also typically further towards the end of the process. Early on when a buyer is just researching they have time to peruse a few blog posts, watch a video or two, or join a webinar. When they are getting onto a chat they have a specific question, need, and are timebound to get an answer. Chat is a great way to build that relationship and gain direct feedback on what your buyers pains, challenges, and goals are.
4. Pop-ups – dear god yes, they really work
First, pop-ups do work and work well IF they are used wisely. Just slapping a bunch of pop-ups on your website will irritate visitors, and you won't generate leads. I am talking about contextually relevant and helpful ones. For example, a website visitor who visits a service or product page could be shown a relevant case study or an industry report related to the topic on the page. For one client by adding a pop-up for a content offer we were able to generate 119 leads in two months.
5. Meeting Schedulers
If your sales process requires any type of meeting, in person or online, allowing the buyer to directly schedule a time with the rep can dramatically improve the conversion rates, and truly gauge buyer intent. Many of these options such as HubSpot or calend.ly are a link and can be used in emails or anywhere else it might make sense.
HubSpot's meeting function gets an upgrade when you embed it onto a landing page. This can definitely get you a few more new leads, this features is even better for converting existing leads into sales opportunities.

- Starscream is a Decepticon from Dark of The Moon.
|Alternate Mode:
|Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor.
|Rockets, Vulcan cannon, buzz saw.
|colspan="2" style="text-align: right;"
Starscream is Megatron's scheming second in command, he is a very traitorous fellow and would do anything to overthrow the Decepticon leader and assume the position, similar to his G1 counterpart.
|Oh, my poor master, how it pains me to see you so wounded, so weak...
—Starscream groves to Megatron in Africa.
Movie PlotEdit
- Voice actor: Charlie Adler (English)
At the National Mall, Starscream is surprised to learn of Megatron's plan with Sentinel Prime and Megatron explains how he and Sentinel made a deal and were supposed to meet up on Earth before they were both waylaid. Megatron and Starscream watch as a Decepticon invasion force arrives through the space bridge.
When the Autobots are forced to leave Earth, Starscream watches the launch of the Xantium from the upper atmosphere. He transforms and swoops down to the planet, firing missiles at the shuttle and seemingly destroys it with the Autobots inside. He and the audience assume that he has killed the Autobots.During the battle in Chicago, Starscream transforms from his F-22 mode and destroys many of NEST V-22 Ospreys, killing a few of the invading NEST strike team. He later attacks Sam Witwicky and Carly Spencer, glad to have the chance to kill Sam. Sam shoots a grappling hook into his right optic, causing Starsream to flail around, dragging Sam with him. Starscream attempted to remove the hook by banging his own head on the ground and trying to fly on top of a building. NEST proceed to attack Starscream, distracting him and allowing Sam to jump onto his shoulders and jam a boom stick into his other optic, rendering Starscream totally blind. Starscream, in a panic, flies around aimlessly, dragging Sam and Lennox with him. Eventually, Lennox cuts Sam free and the boomstick detonates, blasting Starcream's head and chest in many pieces and killing him, as he bleeds with energon.

WARWICK- May 6, 2008 – Brave River Solutions has officially launched the new website for Bonita Marie International Inc.
Built on the Brave River eCommerce Framework product, Bonita Marie's new website and eCommerce Storefront includes a state-of-the-art content management system. With their new content management tool, Bonita Marie now has more control over their website, with the capabilities to refresh their catalog timelier, manage their prices, and keep the site up to date with the latest products. The company prides itself on its selection of "hot items" of the moment, including merchandise such as Hannah Montana, High School Musical, and Webkinz.
"We have to stay on top of the trends," said Fernandez-Katz. "That's what separates us from the rest of our competition."
Bonita Marie started out as a small distributor of direct-pay merchandise to local amusement and family entertainment centers. Today, the company has grown to provide products to full redemption and prize centers across the nation. Their new website lays the foundation towards Bonita Marie's goal of becoming a full-service merchandise and redemption company.
Owner Shelley Fernandez-Katz had three main goals in mind for Bonita Marie's new website. First, she wanted the site to be absolutely user-friendly for her customers. "People get frustrated pretty easily so the easier it is to use, the more they will use it," she said. Second, she wanted a site that would be easy to maintain by herself and her staff. And finally, Fernandez-Katz wanted the ability to provide virtual catalogs for her customers.
Fernandez-Katz said she has noticed an increase in business since going live with the new site, which she credits to being able to service customers much faster. "For me, the admin section is where the value was. Customers want an immediate response and we're able to give it to them." When a customer recently called to request that Bonita Marie create a customized online catalog with their products and pricing for each of their stores, Bonita Marie was able to quickly meet their needs. Thanks to the Virtual Catalog feature of the eCommerce Framework, Bonita Marie had that customer's specialized catalog up and running that afternoon.
Of working with Brave River, Fernandez-Katz said she was impressed by the great customer service, and the immediate response she received when dealing with problems that needed to be solved.
"We wanted the site to be absolutely user-friendly for us and our customers, and we feel like we got exactly that," she said.

Four Publishing Options Worth Exploring
For many people, writing the book is the easy part. Whether you have a body of work ready to repurpose (such as a blog you've maintained for several years) or a ghostwriter at the ready, or you just really like to write, getting your book on paper is simple. Publishing and selling it is another matter all together. You basically have four options when it comes to publishing your book, and each one has its pros and cons. PDF Ebook. Probably the simplest method to publish a book, all that's required with an ebook is to click "Save as…" in your Word document and choose "PDF." Then you can sell the resulting file on your own website, list it on ClickBank or E-Junkie, or upload it to a number of other ebook marketplaces online. Ebooks don't quite have the authority that printed books carry, but if you're on a budget and don't have the skills to format your book for print, then this can be a viable option to get you off the ground. It's also a great way to share your book with advance readers to get those all-important testimonials. Kindle. The darling of the self-publishing world, Amazon's Kindle marketplace makes it easy for you to publish your book. In fact, with just a few minutes of formatting, and another several minutes spent on their step-by-step uploading system, you can have your book on their virtual shelves in less than an hour. With its incredible popularity and the ability to offer "free days" during which anyone can download your book at no cost, Kindle is a great way to build a buzz quickly. Print on Demand. The best choice for self-published authors is a relatively new technology that allows for a single book to be printed on demand. Until just a few years ago, if you chose to self-publish your book you'd likely have to shell out for hundreds if not thousands of copies up front, leaving you with a garage full of books to sell on your own. Print on demand is different. Buyers order your book from sellers such as Amazon (whose Create Space arm is itself a print on demand enterprise), and the book is printed and shipped the next day. This makes it easy and cost-effective for everyone to become a published author. Traditional Publisher. The most difficult and time consuming option, getting your book published with a traditional print publisher will also get you the most audience and press. The drawbacks are many, though. To start, it's extremely difficult to get a traditional publishing house to take on a new author. If you do manage to get the attention of a publisher, your royalties (the amount you earn from your book) will be very small—maybe as little as 8% of the net cost. Finally, the length of time it takes from manuscript submission to final publication can be years. All that said, a book with a traditional publishing insignia on the spine does carry a bit more weight when it comes to press opportunities than does a self-published book. Many new authors initially choose the ebook format, and then move to Kindle and print on demand. Given enough buzz and sales, traditional publication becomes easier to attain as well. The important thing is to get your book written, and then publish where you're most comfortable. The rest will come naturally.

Big cracks in blue wall
January 22, 1996
Anyone who doesn't see a problem between Chief of Department Louie Anemone and Chief of Detectives Charles Reuther had better run to an ophthalmologist. Or read Anemone's Jan. 8 memo to Reuther, titled "Plans and Expectations for 1996."
"Be prepared prior to each 'Comstat' meeting to become an active, interested participant at the meeting," Anemone begins condescendingly and never wavers from that tone.
"Implement and support all policies and decisions as directed . . .
"Respond to major crime scenes (including those involving members of your bureau) on a seven day, 24 hour basis.
"Insure that prisoners are debriefed, accomplices arrested and search warrants and sting operations are increased.
"Create a plan to disband the Career Criminal Investigation Unit.
"Develop progress reports on all unsolved homicide cases and cases where perpetrators are known but not yet apprehended."
Rumblings between Reuther and Anemone surfaced last year at a Comstat meeting - the ballyhooed crime-strategy sessions where Anemone and Deputy Commissioner Jack Maple tear into precinct, squad and borough commanders, and certain three-star chiefs like Reuther. When Reuther protested, Maple called him a 'traitor." Anemone chimed in with "heresy."
Earlier this month, Anemone vilified the detective bureau after Police Officer Raymond Rodriguez claimed 47th Squad detectives ignored Michael Vernon's July murder confession, which, if believed, might have prevented his shooting to death five people in a Bronx shoe store in December. Anemone had to eat crow when Rodriguez recanted.
Last week, a "cold case squad" of detectives was assembled to solve unsolved homicides. The unit is to be taken from the detective division and assigned directly to Anemone, led by Maple protege Ed Norris.
First Deputy Commissioner John Timoney tried to paint the best face on said. "You shouldn't be tied down to any particular way of doing business. You should be able to cross bureau boundaries with no fear that people are being territorial. People should be allowed to think and talk publicly without fear of being criticized and despised."
That's just what's occurred. Another item in Anemone's memo calls for 20 detectives and supervisors to be redeployed to the Chief of Department's Oversight Squad. "This means a personal squad for Anemone," says another top chief. "He's forcing detectives to spy on other detectives."
Anemone wasn't talking last week. Reuther professed himself unfazed. "I've had a long successful career," he said. "I intend to continue it."
Dysfunctional family. The so-called family dispute among Hispanic Society police officers has led to charges of "eavesdropping" against its most disaffected member, Rafael Collazo.
The charges against Collazo, a former board member, follow the discovery of a tape recorder he's accused of planting last July 26 at the Society's meeting at the Puerto Rican Commonwealth building on Park Avenue. They come after a blizzard of complaints to the Internal Affairs Bureau from Society President Wanda Burgos, who's accused him of such transgressions as releasing society members' home addresses and phone numbers, leading to unsolicited mailings and telephone calls from reporters. Collazo, meanwhile, accuses Burgos of refusing to release society financial records.
Nobody paid much attention until Collazo and other dissidents crashed a society meeting last fall, leading to a mini-brawl. Meanwhile, IAB Chief Patrick Kelleher referred the eavesdropping charge, an E-felony, to the Manhattan District Attorney's Official Corruption unit. But, reads a memo from IAB Deputy Inspector John Moakley, "ADA [William] Burmeister stated that the D.A. was not interested in proceeding criminally and recommended the department proceed administratively."
Third-rate town. Now that New York City has placed third in Time magazine's homicide-reduction sweepstakes, perhaps the NYPD can learn from the best - Seattle, Wash. Seattle homicides dropped 32 percent in 1995, compared with New York City's 25 percent decline.
"In all honesty," says Seattle's police spokeswoman, Officer Christie-Lynn Bonner, "we don't know why. It's too soon to tell whether it's a trend or a fluke."
Such modesty has eluded our Police Commissioner William Bratton, whose mug turned up on Time's cover, with the inexplicable caption, "A leading advocate of community policing."
Community policing, scorned by hardliners as "soft" policing, was the first concept he and his media consultant John Linder scrapped when Bratton became commissioner. Some say his idea of community policing is arresting much of the community.

In a world where time is money, it can feel like a double-edged sword when efficiency is deemed the only measure of success.
For all accountants, providing compliance services is still a necessary part of the job, and will be up until the day we no longer need to lodge tax returns. It is a required service, and one that accountants should charge for. However, as technology continues to speed up the rate at which such tasks can be completed, the issue of perceived value comes into play.
For many accountants, they believe that because it takes less time to do, they should be charging less for the service. Wrong. It is still a valuable service.

Three-wheeled motorcycles were a popular means of transport for delivery boys.
Before there was Deliveroo or Uber Eats, delivery boys preferred to get about in three-wheeled motorcycles. But rather than having a single wheel at the front, these babies were in reverse from your typical tricycle. The pictured trike was called an Autocarrier, which went into production in 1904 and was powered by a 648 cc. single cylinder, air cooled engine. A number of similar models were around in the late 1800s and early 1900s, advertised as "horseless carriages", which carried a passenger in a similar fashion as someone sitting on the handle pairs. These vehicles were like tandem bikes, but meant less work for the front passenger thanks to the engine or the pedals at the rear. These pedal-powered "forecars" were created as an affordable motorised passenger vehicle. This worker is using the motor tricycle to deliver for Finney's, a large department store operating in Queen Street, Brisbane, which was eventually taken over by David Jones.

It's finally here! Keeping Her Keys, An Introduction to Hekate's Modern Witchcraft. It took 7 weeks to arrive which felt like an eternity, but Gods will work in their own good time.
When poking around to find out about the book, I discovered that the author, Cyndi Brannen is from Nova Scotia (Canada) and that made my heart sing! I've got a bit of an obsession with Nova Scotia, and getting back there, and this was just another a-ha connection for me.
The book is set up in lesson plans, to take you through a year and a day of study. This pleases me greatly. To commit to a practice takes time, and I tend to chew through books pretty quickly. This book is forcing me to take my time, and keep notes.
I got the Hekate nudge in winter, during the deep dark "Is it ever going to end?" days of February. I was doing a lot of writing, and a lot of study. When I came across this book in my news feed at Facebook, it felt like the right time to open up to this energy.
And already, she's been chatty with me, and I take that as affirmation of my continual path.
I feel like this also corresponds with my move into Orillia with tarot readings. Having a permanent tarot office type space there is a big commitment on my part, and I feel like the deepening of my practice with my path is connected to this, too. (I am using an art studio on Peter Street South to do readings in, by appointment only.)
Last night was the full moon, and it really does feel like "full speed ahead" in my magical life. It helps that we're having summer weather now, too, I suppose, but I'm grabbing the energy of the summer/full moon/tarot/Welcome Hekate vibe and dancing vigourously with it.
I imagine the knowledge from this course is going to also spill out into the energy work that I do, the kitchen witchery, and the garden-love that all weaves within my practice. Part of the course is to keep a note book solely for the purpose of recording exercises and experiences associated with the year and a day Keeping Her Keys course. I expect to see much overlap with all the other aspects of my life, as this encourages witchcraft in every day life.
If you have done this study course, I'd love to hear about your experiences in the comments section!
Blessed Day!
Did you see The Little Witch walking around the Midland Ontario Butter Tart Festival? She was wearing a tall black hat, and carrying a black lacy parasol. That was me!
I was giving away little gifts to people downtown at the Butter Tart Festival on Saturday. They were post cards with a ballot for a free draw that Wand n Cauldron was doing for the day.
Attached to the little post cards that had directions on the for getting to the shop on Manly Street was a little key chain with a semi precious stone attached, that Melissa from Wand n Cauldron had made herself.
The Festival itself felt much more organized this year. There were still a tonne of people there, but it seemed like the layout used this year left more room to move and get around. It was also great to see all of the local stores having tables and tents out to promote their stores too!
(unfortunately my office is just off the beaten track, and was hiding behind a bunch of sod they had laid out on Elizabeth Street for a golfing game that looked like it was for kids. My office is a few buildings behind the Midland Public Library, and there was also a bunch of porta potty's down that strip too, so there really was no point sitting in my office at all. )
Although the most popular tart vendors sold out around noon, there were still lots of butter tarts available to be had. I bought mine at Grounded Coffee Co a little later in the day (sometime after having my lunch on the grass at Midland waterfront. )
Strolling up and down King Street on Saturday was pleasant. I had no where else I had to be and no time frame to adhere to. I got to have a bunch of conversations with strangers and friends on the day of the festival. (Mostly about the tag on my witch hat, and my parasol!)
It was so much fun to help out a friend promote her new business. Funnily enough, I didn't hand out any of my own business cards. Between dragging the cart around that had my water bottle, purse, camera and puppets in, it just seemed too complicated to get any thing else done other than hand out the little flyers. (yes, I am also a puppeteer. I make videos and post them on youtube with my puppets, although it was difficult at the Butter Tart Festival to pull them out and get any decent footage...)
Did you see me on that day, and take any photos with me? It was such a crazy day that I didn't even get any info from anyone that had a photo taken with me, but I'd love to see them! Connect with me and I can even post them here if you are willing to share!
I'm already excited for next year.
Wand n Cauldron is an authentic shop for witches.
The Little Witch specializes in Tarot Readings in the Midland Ontario office space, and on the phone for long distance clients.
Looking for a phone number for Lori-Grace, The Little Witch? There's a reason I don't have a phone number as a contact for booking appointments!
All of my clients either come from Google searches, referrals, or in person events.
When someone who wants a reading finds me on Google, it generally means they have the means to connect with me online, through email. This also means they can access my appointment calendar to see when I'm available and book the appointment themselves.
If someone looking for a psychic reading meets me at an event in the local area of Midland, we can often set the date in person right away, allowing me to give them the info on how to prepare for their reading and how to find my office.
For those who are looking to inquire about booking a party, using the form on my website is still the best way to do that. When I connect with someone through email, it allows me to be ready - date book out with the available times. If someone calls me and I pick it up in the middle of dinner prep, I'm bound to over book myself!
I do have a number available for those who want readings over the phone, locally or long distance. But that number is only active if I'm logged on to take calls - it doesn't take messages or allow you to book in person readings, or cancel an appointment.
It is unconventional for a business to NOT have a phone number available for connecting, but because of the nature of my business, and my world wide reach with advertising, a number that was available all the time would be ringing constantly!
I really prefer to allot certain times of days and certain days of the week for working, instead of having a phone ringing at all hours of the night, often times with questions people want answered ASAP.
You can always connect with me through the form on the main page of my website
Or through email, or Click to book your own in person reading in Midland Ontario.
If you were looking for an in person, over the phone reading, we can arrange that through Keen!
I volunteered to read tarot cards for a ladies night with the Midland Ontario Rotary. All the proceeds go to the Rotary, from the readings that were done. My table was in the Art Gallery at the Midland Cultural Centre, with a number of other Vendors. I got to choose where my table would be set up. When I saw Tiny Gems vendor table, I knew I had to be near them! They've got good vibes.
I volunteer with this Ladies Night event every year, and in past years I've read up to 15 people in the evening, small 10 or 15 readings. We've now evolved into doing 30 minute readings for fewer clients, which is amazing. I truly prefer to spend more time with the clients one on one.
The day after the Rotary night at the MCC, I did the first sit in Guest Tarot Reader spot at Wand N Cauldron in Midland. I was so excited! And, the readings were so good!
The space is so comfortable, and the store always feels so good to be in. Also, it just happened that Melissa ("This Witch") had just got a shipment of the BEST incense in, and hung out in the store.
In Wand and Cauldron's little reading room, the readings came easy! She's got a beautiful cozy tarot reader nook behind some curtains, with a little round table set up, that she had specially made for the space, and a special Gypsy Den looking light that hangs from a chain. Her shop is close enough to downtown in Midland, that the shop stayed just busy enough all day. It was perfect for the meet and greet with people I've never met before!
So, the end of the story in the video really is, I"m no longer a waitress. It's time to focus on my tarot life. Everything is pointing towards it.
Springwater Tarot Horoscope for Nov 29th to Dec 13th.
Aries (March 21-April 19) – Justice – It's important for Aries to take a good hard look at all the evidence before deciding what is right - And that every story has two sides. Think before you speak on these sort of matters. Everyone gets what they deserve, one way or another.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) – The Sun – Honesty is the best policy. Figure out how to speak your truth and practice those words before presenting them. Does it feel like truth on your tongue? Do this, and the truth, in turn, is revealed to you.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) – Prince of Pentacles – Embrace the offer of commitment, stability, foundation. And know that, yes, even when you don't know all the answers or exactly where the steps are leading, that you are on the right path. Don't allow doubts to set you astray.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) – 2 of Wands - Pay attention to "Right time, Right place" synchronicity moments that happen during this time. Even if what comes of these situations doesn't feel like it was on your list, be aware that the Universe is trying to create balance and open some doors for you.
Leo (July 23-August 22) – Seven of Swords – Gather the FACTS, and make your lists or build your case. And, no, made up scenarios in your head do NOT count as weigh-able, measurable facts. This is a time for thinking about the challenges at hand and ahead and carefully planning how you'll present them, if need be.
Virgo (August 23-September 22) – The Magician – Have some feelings of uncertainty surfaced? The Magician reminds you that you have all of the tools, you've studied, and you have every right to take these skills out into the 'real' world and use them. Be confident in your skills and all that you've learned, and get started.
Libra (September 23-October 22) – Strength – Take a deep breath, and feel your inner strength. Let it be firm without being aggressive. Let it be backed by the knowledge of who you really are and all you've accomplished. Don't worry about proving it to anyone. Simply wear it easily and with confidence. This gets you through the next few weeks.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) – The Tower – If it feels like it's all falling apart, spend some time meditating on the ways this time can be used to positively set you on a path that feels even better for you. It may look like chaos now, but creation can only come after the movement of chaos. You'll land, like you always do, better than before
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) – The High Priest – Quiet reflection on how you can or do create balance in your life, between earthly pursuits and spiritual beliefs will help you to be a fair and just decision maker during this time. Remember to consider both your heart space and your head, and hold your ground gently but firmly.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19) – 5 of Cups – It's okay to spend some time feeling remorse or mourning what you think you've lost or left behind. When you wipe your eyes and clear your head, you'll see that there's time and space for new pursuits or ways to fill that emotional space that has meaning for you.
Aquarius (January 20 to February 18) – 6 of Pentacles – If you see an opportunity to be generous (in word, in spirit, with time or with abundance.) know that these acts are good for everyone, if they are given with the intention and energy of joy, and accepted with appreciation. Mind your energy boundaries and only give from a place of feeling good.
Pisces ( February 19 to March 20) – Ace of Wands – Energetic new beginnings are on offer, even though the year is wrapping itself up. Find a comfort zone in the speed and direction in which this time is leading you. If you stay in the flow, even when the water gets hot, you'll be on your way to letting go and getting on with it.

This event is happening on OCTOBER 14th at Brooklea Golf and Country Club - There will be psychics and healers and mediums, and although the admission is free, any donation at the door is going to YOUTH HAVEN, which is a great deal.
My friend Melissa Cabot VanLeeuwen ( Of the Almost ready to open "Wand and Cauldron" in Midland Ontario.) will be among the readers there, and I'm so sad I'll be missing it! (Look her up when you are there, she has some serious witchy energy going on! Love her!)
I have a few clients pre booked in my office in downtown Midland ONTARIO already that day, before I had a chance to fill out the forms for this show. I'm hoping to make an appearance at Brooklea around my own clients, as there will be fun stuff to purchase at the show, too.
What you should know before getting a psychic reading at the Spirit Show in Midland Ontario:
If you know you aren't going to make it to the Spirit Psychic Show at Brooklea in Midland on Oct 14, I'm available in my office in the days running up to the show, and the days after.
If you received a reading during the Psychic show at Brooklea and you need help understanding it (if the reader themselves don't offer a follow up, or you want a second opinion.) I'm open to helping you with that!
My rates for psychic readings are $30 for half an hour or $60 for one hour.
For Reiki healing sessions, I always charge on a PAY WHAT YOU CAN scale.
I also offer Reiki with Reflexology sessions as a spiritual healing addition to the physical benefits of Reflexology, at $40 for an hour+ long session.
I hope this note helps you make the most of your psychic, Medium or tarot readings on October 14th in Midland!
~The Little Witch
This client was generous enough to volunteer her read reading for me to record, so I could show you all what a reading looks like with me.
She offered it as she sat in my office for her scheduled appointment, so all of this is her actual live read. No script!
This was also the first time I had watched MYSELF give a psychic tarot reading! I was honestly surprised with how much I move my hands. When I'm in the depth of the reading, I see things and I'm moving things around with my hands. Swirling energy or pushing energy aside, sometimes I'm seeing the path and I make my hands walk them, etc.
What I really wanted you to notice was the process - how I ask no questions, but just talked her through her challenge. SHE knows exactly what her challenges are, but I don't have to. All I'm supposed to do is deliver the words that she needs to hear.
It's hard to see on the video, but at times I'm closing my eyes, and mostly I'm not even making eye contact with the client, as I'm looking off to her left and right, while I see the messages delivered.
This is recorded in my small office in Midland Ontario, which is near Barrie Ontario, but if you live long distance from there, you can do a phone reading with me!
I've made hard and fast plans to be on the phone in July. And by on the phone, I mean taking tarot calls.
These are the July are the dates and times I've earmarked to be online working. (EST) I'm a Canadian reader, based in Ontario.
Monday July1st - 9am until 3pm
Wednesday July 4th - 9am to 3pm
Wednesday July 11th - 9am to 11am
Friday July 13th - 9am to 11am
Monday July 16th - 9am to 3pm
Friday July 20th - 9am to 3pm
Monday July 23rd- 9am to 3pm
Friday July 27th - 9am to 11am
I have to have some very specific conditions to be available for the phones (mainly, a quiet house!) And although this list shows no evening availability, I can be available up to 10pm EST on occasion, and occasionally on weekends.
If I'm online and taking calls, my call button will tell you I'm available or on a call, and you can get in the line to be read for next. Please be clear about your questions before you call, and have the TV off and a quiet room or place to take your call.
I look forward to reading for you!
I just got my hands on my July schedule for my out-of-the house gigs, and July is giving me lots of openings for Tarot and Medium readings.
Monday and Wednesdays are looking very good, although weekdays aren't always the most convenient for some. Through the week I have some mornings and alternately some afternoons.
Saturday appointments will be hit or miss through the month of July. For the most part on Saturdays, I will be at the Midland Country MARKET on Balm Beach Road and hwy 93, in front of the Water Stop. Depending on the weather, I may just be selling items and taking bookings, or have a table set up with my cards doing 10 minute readings.
My July appointment calendar has been updated for in person readings in the office in Midland.
If you are long distance from me, I will have some specific dates to do phone readings, and email readings are done once a week ( unless I can get to them sooner. )
Thoughts on Life Purpose
I was in the tub, when a BIG THOUGHT occurred to me. WHAT IF our life purpose was something that just sort of happened in the natural flow of being a good human being? It wasn't something we had to search for, or work hard at. What if it were something that just sort of happened while we were in the natural flow of living our lives everyday.
I thought about running threads through my life. How different people have touched my life, and also about the lives I have touched in just being me, in the right place at the right time.
And then I thought, WHAT IF, in those moments that felt small to me, I had actually 'completed' my big life purpose. And all the rest is gravy. All the rest is just to have fun and celebrate all the world has to offer. Even if that is as simple as a nice hot bath, or the sun on your face, or the best Ruben Sandwich you've ever eaten.
What if it were really this simple? Doesn't that idea just free you up completely? It certainly takes the pressure off to perform, to struggle, to over think everything. (I am totally guilty of that.)
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the idea.
