Towards a Justification the Principle of Coordination
Different variations of a Principle of Coordination are used in a number of different research traditions. Roughly speaking, one version of the Principle says that if there is a unique Pareto-efficient outcome in a game, then players will choose their part of that outcome. In this paper I will investigate the foundations of the Principle and see to what extent the Principle follows from some axioms regarding rational individual decision-making.

Now Rowley has concerns over hospital
Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley has now lent his voice to that of engineers raising concerns about the $1.5 billion Couva Childrens' Hospital which is being constructed near an earthquake-prone Central Range fault line. The T&T Guardian understands the Opposition has tabled a question in Parliament calling on Health Minister Dr Fuad Khan to provide information on the project.
Khan, speaking with the T&T Guardian after the formal handover of a US $4 million medical lab yesterday, confirmed that the Opposition Leader had tabled a question in Parliament for him to address concerns about the mega project, which is being constructed by Chinese firm, Shanghai Construction, and is being supervised by the Urban Development Corporation of T&T (Udecott.)
Khan said: "Dr Keith Rowley has tabled a question to the Minister of Health requesting a lot of information on the Couva hospital and the seismic studies, etc. I am very glad that you put it the newspapers so all I have to do is read the newspaper for him." The T&T Guardian, in an exclusive report last month, highlighted concerns raised by engineers and seismologists after it was revealed the hospital was being constructed near the earthquake fault line.
The line, according to the experts, has the potential to cause an earthquake of magnitude 7.5 or above. They had requested a copy of the geo-technical report to review the seismic study to ensure the fault line was considered and appropriate parameters for earthquake resistance was incorporated in the design.
Both Khan and Housing Minister Dr Roodal Moonilal, the line minister for Udecott, said the experts' fears about the building design specifications had been addressed at a meeting last month and they had agreed the hospital should be built at the site. Additionally, they assured the building was being constructed to code.
Khan has indicated at that meeting an oversight committee was formed with officials from the University of the West Indies (UWI) Seismic Research Unit, Ministry of Health, Udecott, the geo-technical team and other consultants. Yesterday he said any questions on the project could be directed to that team.
"The team is there, they (engineers) can ask anything of the team. Shanghai Corporation, the geo-technical people, the university people, the Ministry of Health people and Udecott and I think there were some other people who were there," he added. Khan admitted the team had not met since its formation last month.
"It is up to them to meet. I think at the end of the day maybe they do not want anything. That is why they have not met," Khan added. Sources indicated that no formal appointments were made to the oversight committee. The committee does not have the authority to call meetings unless advised by the minister. No further consultation or collaboration on the hospital was held as promised by both ministers.
No report released
Udecott yesterday failed to release, as promised, its geo-technical site assessment report on the $1.5 billion hospital site. Last Friday, it published a full-page advertisement in the T&T Guardian, saying it will have the report on Monday and Udecott corporate communications manager, Roxanne Stapleton-Whyms, assured it would be released yesterday. However, up to press time no such report was uploaded to Udecott's website nor did Stapleton-Whyms issue a release stating when the report will be released.
Calls to her cell phone, as well as Udecott line minister Dr Roodal Moonilal, went unanswered yesterday. Text messages were also sent. However, no replies were received from either Stapleton-Whyms or Moonilal.

Trash Joins the NUJ
9 OctI am now a card-carrying, Code of Conduct adhering, press freedom defending and proud member of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ). Or as my significant other said when he saw the NUJ acronym on the confirmation letter and my membership card, "Ooooh, you're a NUDGE!"
Yes, I am a NUDGE. I am an official NUDGE with a card and everything, and I'm really very happy about this. I have a tendency to put things off, and despite meeting with NUJ members at an event designed to get Edinburgh's student journalists to join the union in 2010, and despite urging others to join the union in my libel blog post, I never got round to it.
There were two reasons for this; first of all, I wasn't a student, and therefore couldn't register as a student member. I discussed this with the union representatives, and they said that I could probably register as a Temporary Member in the meantime. Secondly, to join the NUJ, you had to print off and fill out a couple of forms and then have two people NUJ members sign your forms as a kind of reference or endorsement. I did manage to get two people to sign the forms, but my busy schedule meant the forms lay forgotten in my bag until a few months later, when I found them crumpled and ripped and forgotten. I couldn't send these forms to the NUJ, surely?
Due to my embarrassment at how poorly I'd treated such important documents, I didn't, and every so often I would remind myself that I really should join the NUJ at some point. That was, until a few months ago, when the union announced that they were letting new members join online. No printing off forms, no signatures, no fuss. So, I took the plunge, and I filled out an online application to be a Temporary Member.
A few weeks later, the NUJ Membership office got in touch to say that they'd reviewed my application, and they felt that I was more suitable for full membership. So, a few changes to my application later, and pending approval from my local office, which could take up to 60 days, I was, unofficially, a member of the NUJ.
My confirmation and membership card came through at the beginning of October, and finally, I was in the union. So, after three years of thinking about joining the union and talking about joining the union, why did I suddenly decide that the time was right? I had two very strong reasons; the NUJ offers support and training to all members. As the NUJ is a union, it endeavours to give all its members a level of protection, whether this is legal assistance, financial support through NUJ Extra and campaigning for better pay and holidays.
Training is very important to me, and throughout the year, the NUJ holds various training days throughout the UK on topics such as freelancing, feature writing, media law and more technical subjects, such as website building. A good journalist should always be learning, but there is only so much that you can teach yourself on the job, so the NUJ offer training days to all members which cost around £100, and are also open to non-members for a slightly larger fee.
While the NUJ has had its problems recently, such as issues with cash flow, it remains an important union for journalists, writers, photographers and everyone involved in the media. it campaigns for our rights and with all the job cuts, redundancies and other issues in the industry, it's good to know that there are people on our side fighting for the freedoms and interests of journalists, not just in the UK but around the world.
And in a country where the government's plans for a state regulated press have become a real threat to journalistic freedom, it's important to stand up and say: "I'm a NUDGE, are you?"
Letter to a Young Journalist
5 OctDear Young Journalist,
I want to talk to you about journalism; the path you have chosen. I don't want to talk about theatre criticism, arts reviewing or news, but journalism as a career. I want to talk to you about the life that you might lead and the people you will meet.
I want to tell you about the nights you will spend alone, writing, editing, researching. The nights you will miss out on because you will be busy, or the evenings you will lose as you edit yet another blog post.
The first thing I want to tell you is that you have to read to be a journalist. You can't be a good writer if you don't read, and you can't pitch to publications if you don't read them. Get subscriptions to the publications you want to write for, and read books whenever you can; on the bus, on your lunch break, in the bath and just before bed.
Secondly, I must tell you that unsurprisingly, (well, it was somewhat of a surprise to me) we journalists aren't always the most respected, or well-liked people on the planet. We are doubted, questioned and dismissed. You will have your integrity challenged and your writing ridiculed, but you will get used to it.
If the there is a ladder that leads to journalism success, then it's a very long ladder. I like to imagine that it's made of wood, that it looks sturdy and strong, it's the kind of ladder your parents might use to go up to the attic, it's familiar and seemingly friendly. But appearances are deceptive; this ladder is treacherous in places, and it may be risky at points to climb.
In fact, you may have to go down a couple of rungs before you are able to go further in your career. And some rungs on the ladder are unforgiving. Some rungs are old and not fit for purpose. Be wary of these rungs, they will set you back, and if you put too much weight on one of them it will break and you will fall.
You will not fall far, because you will reach out and grab something, anything to steady yourself, but you must remember falling is inevitable. Falling is what I call failing, such as a job rejection, a missed deadline, a misunderstood brief, etc. I'm going to tell you something that will sound strange to you, but not only will you fail at some point as you attempt to climb that ladder, you are going to fail, and I want you to fail.
From a young age, we are taught to believe that failure is a bad thing, that failure is the worst thing we can ever do, but I disagree. It is only when we fail that we can truly learn from our experiences. I've failed at this many times; missing job deadlines, not staying in touch with contacts, etc, but it's how we deal with out failures that really matters. The trick is to go with it, so if you feel sad, allow yourself to cry, if you're angry, then find a way to healthily express that anger.
Do what you have to do, just pick yourself up and move on with new knowledge, and safeguards to stop yourself committing the same mistake again.
Next we need to discuss money, because if you're going into journalism for the wage, then you're going to get a shock. We don't make a lot of money, because journalism isn't very well paid, and it's getting even harder to make money from it. So, you're going to do a lot of unpaid work in the beginning to build up your portfolio and have something concrete to show an editor. Once you have experience and once you've started to get pretty good and reliable, then start asking for money.
No one is going to pay you for the hell of it, you will have to prove that you are worth paying. Never undersell yourself, know your worth and know the law. There are many internships in journalism, some of them are really great, but others won't lead anywhere; be hungry, but wise and know the law.
The current law on internships in the UK is that all interns are entitled to the National Minimum Wage, so those internships that offer travel expenses, lunch expenses, or offer expenses at the end of a three-month internship – avoid them like the plague. Your time and your future is worth so much, so again, read, be aware of your rights and stand up for yourself. Intern does not mean 'subhuman' never forget that.
That's all I can say for now, I'll see you on the ladder.
Life After Libel
1 OctIf you're a regular reader of this blog, then you'll probably be very familiar with my Edinburgh Fringe Festival tale of terror from last year, where I was threatened with libel by an entertainment company for writing a negative review of their show. The full story is here, if you don't know it, or need to read it again. It's a long story, so grab a cup of tea or something and get comfortable.
I didn't have a great time at the Fringe last year; the run up to August was long and disappointing. I'd been unsuccessful in getting work with a publication that I'd worked for in 2010 and 2011, and my emails and applications to other publications mostly went unanswered. However, last year, instead of just being a critic, I was an editor too, and I had to deal with a couple of other issues as well. I wasn't just managing writers, I was booking tickets, reviewing, editing and uploading reviews. I was actively solving problems. if there was an issue with a review, I had to deal with it. Fringe 2012 was my first Fringe as an editor, and it was the proverbial baptism by fire.
On the day of the libel threats it was really sunny and warm; one of those lovely Edinburgh Fringe Festival summer days. I was at home uploading reviews when the barrage of emails that culminated – quite quickly – in threats of legal action began dropping into my inbox with frightening regularity. From that day, until a few weeks after the Fringe, I found myself preoccupied with fear. "What if they take me to court?" "What if the site has to close down?" "What if I lose my house?" "What if I never work again?" "What if the actors never work again?" "What if this is the beginning of the new McLibel?" "What if this case goes on to break the record for being the longest running libel case, ever?"
Obviously, these emails were designed to get me thinking these depressing thoughts, and despite them revealing their ignorance early on, as libel is called defamation under Scottish Law, and despite being told to ignore them, and not take any notice of their increasingly bizarre statements and accusations, I couldn't clear my head.
I would go out to review a show, and wonder if someone from that company was sitting in the audience with me. I would go home to my computer and find their emails safely nestled in with much nicer emails from my writers and PRs. Their threats continued. They took screenshots of my Twitter account and sent them to my editor in a piss-poor attempt to discredit me. If my phone rang and I didn't recognise the number displayed, I wouldn't answer. What if it was them? At least once, it was. It seemed like they were everywhere, just waiting for me to slip up.
When the Fringe ended, I was so glad. The end of August meant the end of their nonsense, and I thought that I could get back to something resembling normality pretty quickly. But their emails continued sporadically, falling into my editor's inbox whenever we thought they'd vanished for good. I was frazzled and I felt cheated; I'd missed out on my usual Fringe experience, and I was so angry. How dare they think legal threats are an appropriate reaction to a bad review? But most of all, I was exhausted. I'd gone back to my day job mid-festival, and the demands of that, coupled with the Fringe and the added issue of the libel threat hanging over my head, it was all just too much. I'd had enough.
I felt like my mind was full of cotton wool; I couldn't feel much about anything. Announcement of a new production? Nothing. A new project at work? Nada. Try to read a book? Not a sausage. I'd go to press nights and then stagger home and fail to get my opinion of a play in a word document. I fell behind on work and struggled to get it finished. What had been my passion began to feel like a chore.
I stopped enjoying writing. I'd been writing for three years, slowly building up contacts and creating opportunities for myself. I felt no shame emailing people I'd never met before and offering to write for their publication. I'd been so hungry to move on, to improve my work and create my dream career.
Now I wasn't as hungry; it was like I didn't want to write ever again. Every time I sat down at my computer, I'd find myself making excuses, procrastinating more than ever before and looking for other things to do. After all, why should I write when there is this thing called Grumpy Cat?
I lost all my confidence in my work, and writing became more and more difficult. When I went to the theatre I would sit in the stalls and feel so disconnected from what was happening on stage, even though I saw some very good pieces after the Fringe. I could see and hear everything that was going on, but it just wasn't speaking to me, it was like I was behind a sheet of glass; I was there, but I wasn't. And all the time there was this voice inside my head saying: "You're not supposed to be here. This place is not for you."
When I got home, I would sit at and stare my laptop and will the words to come; I could hear them in my head, I could see them in my mind, but as soon as I switched on my computer, they vanished, and all that was left was that voice: "What do you think you're doing? No one reads this stuff anyway, and when they do, they'll threaten to sue. Who do you think you are, a theatre critic?"
In an attempt to put the situation behind me, I published the blog post about the libel threats and harassment, but I never thought it would be as popular as it became. My blog was very, very new, and aside from one post about the lack of money in journalism and a few film reviews, there was nothing on it. I had no loyal readership; hardly anyone visited my blog because it was really boring.
And yet, when the post went live on that Sunday evening in September just over a year ago, it got noticed. The story quickly grew legs and scuttled across the globe, it got into all the nooks and crannies of the internet, successfully spreading my experience to like-minded people far and wide. The post was mine, the words were my own, but the story quickly became something that I had no control over, and suddenly, it was no longer mine. Which was scary, but it led to lovely messages from people from all over the world, who wanted to express their outrage, horror and similar stories. I was contacted by people offering much-needed advice, and crucially, by someone who could help put an end to the situation.
After the post went viral, I half-expected to get a pleading email from the company, begging me to take the blog post down, or maybe even an even angrier email, slamming my lack of professionalism, or something to that effect. I never did. To this day, the company have never responded to my blog post and they have never apologised for their threats, their accusations, or their own libellous statements concerning the non-existent 'conspiracy' that they concocted between me and the woman I called 'Julie' in my original post.
I'd love to say that this situation forced them to change their attitude, but from what I've heard about them since, and from what I've seen that they've published online, it hasn't.
I was, and I still am, overwhelmed by the amount of support that came my way from my family, friends and even people I'd never met last year. They say that you know who your friends are in a crisis, I know who they are now, and I am still very grateful for all the support I received from them during this time.
I can't lie; I did come very, very close to packing it all in – reviewing, editing, the lot. But one day, I got up, I fired up my laptop and I started writing. I'm still building up my confidence in my writing again, and blogging has been a great help throughout all of this. After all, the best way to become a good and confident writer is to get your head down and write, and that's what I'm going to do.
Trash Goes To a 4Talent Day
22 Sep"Most rock journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, for people who can't read." – Frank Zappa
Earlier this week, I boarded the 07:30 train from Edinburgh Waverley to Glasgow Queen Street. From Glasgow Queen Street, I went straight to Buchanan Street Subway Station, where I bought a return ticket to Govan. Less than 20 minutes later, I arrived in Govan, and despite nearly falling up the escalator on my way out of the station – yes, there were witnesses – I emerged, unscathed, nervous and only slightly tired, into a cold and wet Glasgow morning at 08:45 on the dot.
I was in Govan because in August, I had applied to take part in the upcoming 4Talent Day in Glasgow. I'd filled out my application with little hope, but I told myself that after the inevitable rejection I'd know that I'd tried my best, and I could go ahead and try something else. So, when I got the email saying that my application had been successful, I nearly fell off my chair.
4Talent Days are organised by Channel 4 and are designed to support people over the age of 16 who want to get into the creative industries. The purpose of a 4Talent Day is to nurture and inspire people by holding workshops, talks and giving people at the bottom rung of the media ladder the chance to speak to those at the very top. It makes the creative industries accessible and as open as possible to people of all ages and backgrounds around the UK, and gives all attendees a taste of life in the media.
Beginning at 09:30, after registration opened at 08:45, the day began with talks by Channel 4′s Industry Talent Specialist, Priscilla Baffour, and Head of Creative Diversity, Stuart Cosgrove; a dedicated Northern Soul devotee who is perhaps better known to listeners in Scotland as one half of Radio Scotland's Off The Ball.
Their speeches were inspiring and energising as Priscilla discussed Channel 4′s "content revolution" about how creating and publishing content is changing, the history of Channel 4 and what they look for in applicants. Stuart gave an uplifting speech about his journey from the deprived council estate of his childhood, to his love of Northern Soul and how his passion for the genre opened doors for him.
There were many different master classes available, from radio production to music journalism, pitching documentary and factual films, to personal branding and how to get started in film making. I chose the music journalism master class with Sid Smith, a well-respected music journalist, and a man with a real passion for King Crimson.
While I have a lot of experience of writing about the arts, I've only focussed on theatre and film, and I've been thinking about music journalism for some time. However, despite writing some very brief album reviews at the beginning of my career – I think they were around 100 words – I don't feel confident writing about music, and I want to learn how to write about music and more importantly, how to write about music with authority.
Sid was a fantastic teacher, and as well as discussing music journalism with us, magazine circulation figures, pitching, interviewing and the music which makes us cry (mine is 'Don't Speak' by No Doubt). He also brought a room full of aspiring music journalists to shame when he asked when was the last time we bought a music magazine, and collectively, we looked at our feet. He also had us listen to a piece of music called 'Joyful Reunion' by Sweet Billy Pilgrim before phoning the songwriter, Tim Elsenburg, and having some of us ask him questions about the song there and then.
Sid gave us all a lot of advice, and he sums it up very well in his own blog post about the 4Talent Day in Glasgow. But I would add that the clearest piece of advice that Sid, and all the other speakers gave on the day was that young creatives need to have two things: discipline and persistence.
So, if an editor doesn't email back within a few days, call them, introduce yourself and tell them what you do in 20-25 words. Research who you're contacting and tell them what makes you different. Also, take what you're doing seriously, be nice, polite and develop habits. Habits and discipline will keep you going, as well building a network of contacts. As Philip Edgar-Jones, the Head of Entertainment at Sky Arts put it, "Be persistent, but patient."
The day was so inspiring, and as well as learning a lot, and getting some really good advice, I met a number of interesting people, that I'm hoping to keep in touch with, I gave out many, many business cards and I got lots of business cards back in return. But what the 4Talent Day was really good at, was making the creative industry seem more open, and more accessible than it ever has before. There was no mention of degrees or specialist qualifications, and it made you feel like you could have that career that you've always dreamed of. It made you feel that there are people out there that are interested in your story, and what you have to offer.
After a long but wonderful day, I headed back to Govan Subway Station – avoiding tripping on the escalator this time – and headed back to Queen Street Station. Once there, I boarded the 18:15 train back to Edinburgh Waverley, and as soon as I arrived in Edinburgh, I got my hands on the first music magazines I'd bought in nine years; Q and MOJO, before I heading home to read, research and think about my next step.
I would highly recommend a 4Talent Day to any young creative, and who knows, for me, it could be the very beginning of a brand new adventure.
Adventures in Editing Or How Editing Taught Me to Be A Better Journalist
13 SepRecently, I marked the end of an era. Earlier this month I stepped down from my role as The Public Reviews' Scotland Editor, and passed the responsibility onto my successor, the more-than-qualified and very talented, Lauren Humphreys of Glasgow Theatre Blog.
I began my role at The Public Reviews straight after my three-year tenure as The Journal's Theatre Editor, and after four years of commissioning, editing, publishing and generally looking after other people, I decided that it was time to look after me.
So, in May this year, I told my boss, Editor John, that this Fringe would be my last as Scotland editor. There are many reasons for this, but the main reason was that I longed to have more time to write. I'll miss the perks of getting editor's choice on shows that I really, really want to review and I'll miss ranting about the innumerable bad PRs that littered my inbox like discarded shopping trolleys on wasteland but, I need to write, and I want to be a better writer.
However, my time as an editor hasn't been for nothing. I've learned so much, not just about my own writing, but also managing people, and dealing with truly terrible PR pitches. Working as an editor for the last four years has taught me so much about journalism, communication and other issues.
So, here are my top 5 lessons that I believe that everyone who aspires to be in the media should learn.
Read Your Emails
I proofread and sense check my emails to ensure that what I've said is clear and easy to understand. However, there are those that don't do this, and their emails usually consist of unclear demands, spelling and grammatical errors and bizarre sentences.
After they hit send I have to try to translate the bloody mess they deposited in my inbox, which I don't enjoy, and I usually email them back and enquire about what it is that they want. Use punctuation, have a clear message and tell me what you want, I don't have the time to second guess anything.
I don't know if there was something in the water in Edinburgh in August, but I encountered a few writers who weren't reading my emails properly. At the beginning of the Fringe I sent out a link to a spreadsheet for writers to fill in with their ticket requests, which was designed to stop any double bookings and make the whole process as open and transparent as possible to everyone involved.
One writer started trying to book tickets for shows that we'd already reviewed. When I emailed them and asked them to look at the spreadsheet more carefully, they emailed back asking, "What spreadsheet?"
Another writer got confused with the spreadsheet, and thought I was allocating shows to specific people and that they'd missed out. If they'd read my email properly, they would have known that this wasn't the case. Another writer double booked a show because they didn't pay attention to the spreadsheet, which clearly stated another writer had booked a ticket to that performance.
If you want to get on the good side of your editor, it's a good idea to read every single email you get from them at least once. If you're not sure about what they're asking, email them back and ask them to clarify.
Respect Boundaries
From weddings, to illness, to engagements and the old trope, computer problems, there are many things that conspire to stop a writer filing their copy on time.
I've heard nearly every excuse in the book, and while I understand that writers have lives and they might get engaged/married/be too busy planning their wedding to file copy by deadline, I have the venue breathing down my neck, so all I care about is the review.
I know that sounds heartless, but editors have a job to do, and a publication's reputation to uphold, so their investment is in the article. I'm friendly with my writers and count some of them as friends, but I've found that it's odd how easily people will open up to you when you're in a position of authority. It's good that they feel they can be honest with you, but sometimes, when you've only had a handful of emails from someone, and suddenly they're telling you about how they split with their partner/lost their job/their dog died and that's why they've not been answering emails, it's just a little too much.
Just say you've had some personal problems, your editor doesn't need to know any more unless it's something that they can help with or if it's something that will affect your ability to write for the publication in the long term.
Enthusiasm Means Very Little
Enthusiasm is great, enthusiasm and drive is what got me to where I am today. However, in my experience, when I have encountered a writer who has been overly enthusiastic about writing reviews for me, alarm bells have gone off in my head immediately. Because that kind of energy never lasts, and it usually hides something else.
The first enthused writer turned out to be a prolific, or to use the nickname given to the late Sir David Frost, a "bubonic plagiarist" who couldn't write an original piece of work if her life depended on it. She was also studying journalism, because wonders never cease.
The second super-anxious writer had my back up from the very beginning; he sent me a link to his portfolio, but had not made it accessible online, so he then animatedly cornered me at a press night, telling me how much he wanted to review for me. However, without my knowledge or consent, he was also submitting the reviews he sent to me to another site, which meant that we couldn't publish them without permission from that publication, or we would be accused of plagiarism.
When this was explained to the writer, he said: "Well, I knew it was a grey area…" It's not a grey area, it's very clear, so never assume that you know something: if you're unsure, ask the editor.
Another seemingly passionate writer was so excited to be reviewing during the Fringe that she claimed that she nearly fainted with excitement when she passed one of the Fringe venues before the festival started. Her emails told me how delighted she was to be working at the Fringe, until suddenly, after reviewing 5 shows, she emailed to say that she couldn't review as something had come up.
A few weeks later a theatre company contacted us to say that this writer had booked to see their show (not to review it, but as a paying member of the public) and had asked for a refund. Unfortunately, during this email conversation, they mentioned that they were a reviewer, which made the company defensive, as it sounded as if the writer was trying to use their reviewing status to get their money back.
I don't think they were trying to do this, and it could be that because of their lack of experience in the industry that they naively thought this it would ok, but they reacted very defensively to my emails asking them about it. They refused to explain anything and they told me I'd handled the situation very badly and demanded to be taken off our reviewing team.
After this, I kept the enthusiastic ones at arm's length. It's usually the safest thing to do for me. Be keen, just not overly keen, because it doesn't last.
Assume Nothing
I know that I'm repeating a point I made earlier in the post, but if I could give new writers one piece of advice, then it would be this: never assume, always ask for clarification.
If you're booking your tickets, and you've not heard back from the venue, don't assume that the tickets are there, phone the venue press office and ask. This will save you time and energy later on.
If you're not sure about something an editor has asked you to do, email them back and ask again. I would say that most of the problems that I have had to deal with as an editor have stemmed from people not being clear and doing what they think is right, not what is right. Remember, your editor was new at this once too, email, call, text, tweet, just get in touch with them and ask.
If you have not heard from your editor, email them again and reconnect. Inboxes fill up quickly, so you need to keep pushing yourself to the top of the pile. Don't assume that an editor has asked you to do something, or wants you to do something. Email and ask.
The Editor Is Not Always Right
Despite appearances, editors are only human, they aren't infallible, and they make mistakes. However, unlike writers, editors have a lot more responsibility on their shoulders, and have to consider a number of issues.
The editor's word is final, so arguing with them is not always a good idea, but if you feel that they've made an error, you have the right to reply. I was once a little heavy-handed when editing a review, and the writer sent me a very strong email, arguing that they refused to be "censored" and other words informing me that they were really very cross about what I'd done.
We eventually came to an agreement, and they were happy, but I stand by my initial thoughts that a synopsis should never be two paragraphs long, ever.
However, and I cannot stress this enough, don't argue with the editor when you're applying for work, because the editor knows the publication they work for better than you, and gets emails from people like you everyday. Persistence is a great trait to have, but don't take it too far, and remember to be thankful for any feedback that you get, because in this industry, you won't get very much.
Dear John Bellany
28 AugDear John,
We never met, but when I read of your death earlier this evening, I knew I had to write this letter.
I'm not an artist; I gave up on drawing after a classmate made fun of my clown drawing in primary school. "Amy," she spat, with real venom, "Your clown has six fingers on one hand and eleven on the other." It wasn't good enough, she said, clowns had five fingers on each hand, she explained. So, I'm going to honour you the only way I know how to, and that is to write about how your words have affected my life.
You received an honorary degree at my graduation in 2009. You were the second person to receive a degree, the first being Jonathan Mills, the Director of the Edinburgh International Festival, but his speech was, dare I say, very, very boring.
I was starting to drift off with my degree certificate sat smugly on my lap when you stood up and slowly moved to the front of the stage. You fumbled with the papers you'd written your speech on, you seemed nervous. "Oh dear" I thought, "It looks like we're in for another dull speech." And I prepared myself for a long morning.
You began by thanking the university and launching into a speech about looking out from the stage to all the young graduates assembled. But then, you paused, and uttered the now immortal words, "Well, if I'm honest, I've forgotten my glasses, so all I can see is darkness."
The audience laughed; we cheered, we giggled, I think there was even a round of applause. You had won us over with your confession. You were honest, you were on our side. You cast aside your speech, and launched into what can only be described as something truly extraordinary. To call it a pep talk would be insulting; you were preparing us for battle.
As you gazed into the darkness of the theatre, trying to make out the faces of the hundreds of graduates gazing back at you in awe, you said that we were going to come up against barriers once we graduated. We were, you assured us, going to experience having "…many doors slammed in our faces". But, we were not to be disheartened, you said, instead, we were to pound on the doors that would be slammed in our faces. We were to pound on them repeatedly, until our knuckles bled. I remember you held your hands up, and squeezed them into tight fists as you punched the air, your eyes screwed tight, pounding on all the doors that had ever been slammed in your face.
I can remember imagining a nondescript pine door being slammed shut as you smashed the figurative doors that had stood in your way for years. It's the same pine door that I see now when I get yet another job rejection. It's the same pine door that closes when an editor tells me I don't have enough experience. It's the same pine door that rattles in its frame as it slams closed when a promising internship turns out to be another dead-end.
But whenever that nondescript pine door has smacked me in the face as it closed – and it's been closed to me so often, and it will be closed to me again – I've heard your words. And suddenly I can see you again in my mind's eye, on that stage, slamming your fists into your own imaginary door over and over again.
So I started knocking; I would ask that editor for feedback. I would pound my fists against the door; I would look for new opportunities and ways to build up my portfolio. I would start to smash the panels of that door, one by one and then I would pick myself up and try again.
I've never been in a fight, but my knuckles have been split open and bloodied many, many times. You taught me that when you go out into the big bad world, you're not always fighting other people; more often than not, you're fighting with yourself. Battling self-doubt and a lack of drive is hard, but that's why they call it work. More than anything, persistence is key.
I'm sorry that we never got the chance to meet, if we had I would have thanked you for your wise words, and I would have told you how much they meant to me on the day I graduated, and how much more they mean to me now, just four years later.
Thank you, John. Thank you for speaking to a sea of excited and unsullied graduates that day. Thank you for showing us that you'd been there, that you knew the struggles that we would face and for giving us all the advice that we will never forget:
"Always do your own thing. Don't follow trends. Be your own person."
Thank you, so, so much.
Yours sincerely,
Amy Taylor

PR Post Mortem: The Best of EdFringe – Part Two
22 AugAs the Edinburgh Festival Fringe draws to a weary close, I've been busy not just reviewing, but also compiling the very best (read, worst, definitely the worst) of the EdFringe PRs that I've received over the last few weeks.
So, without further ado, here is PR Post Mortem: Best of EdFringe Part Two:
What's My Name?
Hi guys! [Um, hello. That's uh, that's not my name.]
Just a little message letting you know our brand-new comedy, [Show Name] is currently in a run [In a run? Where's it going? What charity is it running for?] at the Fringe until 24th August. We'd love it if you could come along and review us! [Exclamation Mark]
Seems a strange time to email, but I've only been switched on to your publication [And what publication is that?] and I really liked having a peruse through your site. [Say my publication's name. Say MY name.]
Hope to see you there, if you can make it! [Why did you put an exclamation mark here?] Don't hesitate to get in touch via phone or email.
Peas & lurve, [WHAT]
PR Numpty
Journalists Live in Scotland, Too
Hi Amy,
I just wanted to get in touch to see whether you still have reviewers at the Edinburgh Fringe this week? [Well, I live here, so yes, I do.]
I just wanted to make a couple of recommendations for review [I have a feeling these recommendations will be biased] if any of your team would be available, these are [Show Name and Show Name]
I've attached press releases for more info [Oh Goody] on these as well as a list of all the shows I am looking after in case the others should be of interest also.
Thanks and best wishes,
PR Numpty
Review Our Amazing Something
Hi Amy, [Hello!]
We are working on this amazing online piece which is taking place on Monday [Great, what is this piece?] throughout the day and I wondered if there is any way of putting a link to it on your site at all? [You want me to link to a project I know nothing about?] Or if one of your reviewers would be interested in spending the day with it? [Spending the day with it? What is it?]
[Website Link]
Hope all's fine and dandy. [Well no, it's not because this email tells me sweet Fanny Adams about your 'amazing online piece'.]
Px [A kiss? Oh no, wait a minute, I remember this guy - it's 22 attachments guy!]
Well, If You Say Please…
Pleasereview these shows … [Pleaseuse spaces]
Thank you! [Wait, that's it?!]
Mx [Another kiss? Why I outta...]
[The show details were below the text of the email. No, thank you.]
Not An EdFringe PR, But…
Hi – I thought your readers may be interested…please let me know! [You know nothing about my readers]
As the Carnival approaches this week on August 25, I thought you might like to use this great interactive infographic [Oh no, not another infographic] from [Promotional Business Gift Website, yes, that's right, a PROMOTIONAL BUSINESS GIFT WEBSITE]
Since its inception in 1966, the Notting Hill Carnival, held in August annually, has grown into the largest street festival in Europe. Did you know that a record 1.5 million people attended in 2012 and it brought nearly £100 million to the London/UK economy? [No, and I don't care]
· History of the event: Was originally a 'Caribbean Carnival' aimed a smoothing over race relations following the Notting Hill race riots the previous year. [A 'Caribbean Carnival', eh?]
· Entertainment/Celebrity Elements: High-profile artists such as Eddie Grant, Wyclef Jean, Courtney Pine, Jamiroquai and Burning Spear have participated [Yes, I know what the Notting Hill Carnival is, thanks]
· Top Trends in Food: Caribbean street food is one of the highlights of Notting Hill Carnival dating back to its roots. Turkish, Chinese and Indian are also popular. [Am I eating the food? Will I get to eat the food? No? Well then, I don't care]
· View the graphic: To learn more…[Nope. Nope. Nope.]
If you plan to use the infographic we would love to know and ask that you please attribute a link to [Promotional Business Gift Website, who clearly want a link more than anything else]

Publications (2)8.7 Total impact
- [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to explore the role of the organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1A2, which is encoded by SLCO1A2, in the cellular uptake of the Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib, and the relationship between SLCO1A2 polymorphisms and the pharmacokinetics of imatinib in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Imatinib uptake was significantly enhanced in OATP1A2-transfected human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells (P = 0.002). Naringin, an OATP1A2 inhibitor, decreased the transport of imatinib in OATP1A2-transfected HEK293 cells, the human intestinal cell line Caco-2, and K562 CML cells. Linkage disequilibrium was found between the SLCO1A2 -1105G>A and -1032G>A genotypes in 34 CML patients and 100 healthy subjects. Imatinib clearance in CML patients was influenced by the SLCO1A2 -1105G>A/-1032G>A genotype (P = 0.075) and the SLCO1A2 -361GG genotype (P = 0.005). These findings suggest that imatinib is transported into cells by OATP1A2, and that SLCO1A2 polymorphisms significantly affect imatinib pharmacokinetics.Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics 07/2011; 90(1):157-63. · 6.85 Impact Factor -
Article: High-performance liquid chromatographic assay for the determination of nilotinib in human plasma.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A precise and convenient high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been established to assay nilotinib in human plasma. Chromatographic separation of nilotinib was performed on a LiChrosphere(®)100 RP-18(e) column (250 mm×4.0 mm, 5 µm) using a mixture of acetonitrile and 0.01 M phosphate buffer (pH 3.0) (42 : 58, v/v) under isocratic conditions at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min with ultraviolet (UV) detection at 266 nm. The calibration curve showed linearity at concentrations between 250 ng/ml and 5000 ng/ml (r(2)>0.999). The mean±S.D. absolute recovery of nilotinib from plasma was 99.2±3.3%. The coefficients of variation of both intra- and inter-day precision were below 9.1%. These results indicate that this new HPLC-based quantification may be useful for therapeutic drug monitoring of nilotinib to help manage treatment in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in clinical practice.Biological & Pharmaceutical Bulletin 01/2011; 34(7):1126-8. · 1.85 Impact Factor

Blacks and Hispanics Lost $1 Trillion in Home Equity
The report said, "Families impacted in minority neighborhoods have lost or will lose on average, $37,084 or 13 percent of their home value." By comparison, the overall average American homeowner affected by nearby foreclosures will lose only seven percent of their home value, or $21,077.
The most recently-available census data shows that African Americans and Latinos comprise less than 30 percent of the nation's population. Yet together, neighborhoods of color shoulder more than half of the $1.95 trillion in the drain on neighboring property values as a result of foreclosures.
"CRL's report is troubling evidence of how much the economic cost of foreclosures are spilling over into communities all over America," said Wade Henderson, president and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. "Communities of color—which have been targeted for years by predatory lenders, and abused for years by mortgage servicers—have been practically drowning. Until policymakers get serious about reducing foreclosures and restoring meaningful home ownership in all communities, a full economic recovery will likely remain out of reach."
Compounding the problem, communities of color still suffer from stark wealth gaps when compared to whites. Earlier this year, the U.S. Census Bureau found that African Americans, Latinos and Asian-Americans together lost nearly 60 percent of median household net worth from 2005-2010. Over that same period, median net worth for white families dropped by 23 percent, about a third of the loss rate for people of color. With fewer investment portfolios and lower earnings, the hope to build wealth for communities of color often rests with the value of their home investment.

One of the Best Secrets in Washington DC
Just four miles, as the crow flies, from the White House, is one of the best kept secrets in Washington. It is called the Armed Forces Retirement Home.
You might think of it as a legacy for some of our finest soldiers, living out their final days in a park-like atmosphere of peace and tranquility.
There are rolling hills and flowers galore in the summer months. The birds and squirrels are so friendly that they walk right up to you begging for handouts. In the late afternoon, residents sit behind the Scott building and look down across the ball diamond at the deer eating the summer grasses.
Many times the fawns are hidden in the edge of the woods. Mom is watching over them closely as she munches the tender shoots. Most of the time they ignore our gazing and stroll up to our administrator's house to devour a large portion of flowers. The flower beds look a bit strange in late summer, with only stems and no flowers.
There are approximately 1,000 or so residents from their middle 60s to 90s. The exciting war stories are rampant. On many occasions I have enjoyed a tale or two in the shady areas around the grounds or canteen while drinking strong coffee or juice.
The picture pasted at the top of the article is the Sherman building, it contains the office of our CEO and associated support functions. There is a rich history behind this building, with a clock tower that rings every hour. I really never get tired of walking by, knowing that, this may actually be the highest point in DC.
Many would think that our residents are lost in the past, but that is not the case. I see computers and iPads throughout the home. Everyday, one cannot help but notice a new computer or printer arriving via UPS. The guys keep up with the BP spill on the Coast, especially those that will be retuning to the new Gulfport home in October. They are really concerned about the white beaches and friends.
Yes, this is a great place for the old war horses of a previous era. Sometimes we get lost in antiquity, but we are learning how to live in a different age of internet science and web savvy surfing; reaching out to new technology and enjoying it immensely.

A funky, stylish home in central Launceston situated in a quiet cul de sac. We are 5 minutes stroll from cosmopolitan Charles Street where you will find a hotel, green grocer and butcher with local produce, a chemist, delicatessen, Coles supermarket and numerous cafes. We are also close to the hospital, Aquatic Centre, city centre, Cataract Gorge and Aurora stadium where the Hawks play each winter.
World renowned golf courses Barnbougle Dunes and Lost Farm are a scenice hours drive away.
The first level of the house features a generous master bedroom, huge open plan kitchen including all stainless appliances and a spacious lounge, kept warm and cosy in winter or cool in summer with a reverse cycle air conditioner. The main bathroom is also upstairs.
Downstairs are 2 more bedrooms, 1 with a queen bed and king single and the other has a double bed. There is also a second toilet downstairs and a laundry with a washing machine and dryer.
There is a deck out the back with a bbq and paved courtyard out the front, both great for entertaining in the afternoon sun.
Launceston is a city in the north of Tasmania, Australia at the junction of the North Esk and South Esk rivers where they become the Tamar River. It is the second largest city in Tasmania after Hobart and one of Australia's oldest cities and is home to many historic buildings.
Launceston is a small compact city and is easy to explore. You can walk through old parks, past century old buildings to the Launceston Seaport, with its waterfront eateries. A board walk links the Seaport to Inveresk, where you can visit one of Australia's best regional galleries, the Queen Victoria Museum at Inveresk.
The board walk also takes you to Home Point rowing course, passing Ritchies Mill, with its galleries and restaurants. Continue along the zigzagging path into Cataract Gorge, a place of mystical beauty. Its steep, rugged cliffs and wild areas attract rock climbers and a chairlift allows all to enjoy the panoramic views. As a waterway it is also amazing in its displays of the power of nature; the normally placid 'basin' can become a torrent and whirlpool filled spectacle.
Launceston is an ideal base for visiting the vineyards of the Tamar Valley. Follow the Tamar Valley Wine Route and sample some of Tasmania's finest cool-climate wines. You may also enjoy a river cruise, an ideal way to explore the Tamar River.
From Launceston you can also visit national parks such as Narawntapu (known for wildlife-spotting), or the historic villages of Evandale and Longford, with their grand old farms and mansions: Woolmers, Brickendon, Panshangar and Clarendon.
Ben Lomond National Park is a haven for rock climbers, bushwalkers and skiers. Devonport is 100 kilometers away where the ferry comes and goes from Melbourne.
Launceston's weather is temperate, with an average maximum of 23 degrees Celcius (73.5 degrees Fahrenheit) in January and 11.5 degrees Celcius (52.5 degrees Fahrenheit) in June.

This is a little late, but I'll throw it out there for anyone with a similar question.
Of course, it won't solve the issue of wanting nicer quality, but they use a similar fabric and color on 514s that would be a slimmer, more tapered cut.
Wait, wait, wait...
Hilfiger chinos? For £50? On sale-? This is too much. Here, they start at $45 and get marked down to $15, and even then, blech. Return if you can, and spend the money elsewhere.
As for web sites available to the UK, COS has some sharp-looking stuff for relatively cheap, IIRC.
I am interested if anyone knows the answer to this. I do not, but I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents in. OCBDs usually don't have spread collars because button down collars are part of what makes an oxford shirt an oxford shirt. I think your best bet would be to contact a made to measure/custom dress shirt company and see if they could make this happen for you. I am an intern for Vastrm, a new affiliate to the forums and we do offer spread collars for any type of polo. I'm sure a company who specializes in custom dress shirts could make this happen. I just don't think you're going to have luck finding a standard OCBD without a BD collar.
I never tried Everlane, but Ameircan Apparel and H&M t-shirts fit awesome. If you're on a tight budget go with H&M. Their v-necks have the perfect depth. AA crew necks hold up for a long-time as well.
I'm looking for a (first) suit for interviews (at schools not investment banks, so it doesn't need to be super-conservative). It should be charcoal or navy, right? Would a gray work?
Specifically, would the darker gray uniqlo blazer here be decent?
Not sure if they have matching pants so I'm looking for other options.
Looking for cheap (hopefully $150ish range, could go to $200 or even $250 for something good). I'm small -- like 5' 7" 125lbs, 34/35 chest and 28 waist.

Yeah that's the price of them over here. I am heading to the states in the summer time and going to pick up some cheap stuff while I am there. You guys are lucky that you get everything so cheap!!
I am looking to dress very nice casual style for everyday of the week. I have ordered a pair of Wolverine 1k Boots and a few pairs of STF Levi 501's in the regular Rigid color and ordered a pair of the regular rigid color of the Levi 508 Tapered.
I really need some Khakis as well but I just don't know what brand to go with or how to incorporate those into my style.(Feel free to suggest some!) I am really excited about the Wolverine 1ks and my 501 Denim that I won't ever have to wash with some Solid Color T's and some nice Cardigans and sweaters.
However, I don't want to have to wear my W1Ks every single day(I wouldn't mind but I don't want to wear them out to fast) and the only other shoe I have right now are some Converse Chuck Taylors( I know I am overhauling my Wardrobe and it is LONG overdue!) and I don't really understand the shoe game yet..and what to wear with what!
So I guess what I need from you guys are some suggestions on what kind of shoes I can rock with my denim and khakis in a conservative rugged gentleman type of way! :)

That blazer's materials are not good enough. Buying a first, important suit online is likely going to go badly. At least try on in person. Provide a location, and maybe people will give you local options.
You should probably see if Holt Renfrew and Harry Rosen has anything left from the Boxing Week sale. If you're going to spend that kind of money and you really specific about a slim and snug fit, you should be trying jackets in person and not risk getting online.
In terms of local boutiques, other members from Toronto area could probably provide you with places to go but definitely go buy the jacket in person.
I need a new pair of dress shoes, ideally black cap toe balmorals. Because I don't have to wear a suit all that often, I'd like to stay under $200. I've been watching ebay and flash sale sites. Wondering if anyone's seen anything on any end of season sales.
Thanks in advance.
I've heard good things about Ciro Lendini on Yoox.

Conrad Black Targets Hollywood, CIA in New Talk Show Promotional Video
"Hollywood has done as much as anybody to coarsen and diminish America's prestige in the world," the ex-media baron says while promoting "The Zoomer – Television for Boomers With Zip."
TORONTO – Fallen Canadian media mogul Conrad Black takes aim at Hollywood and the CIA in the promotional video for his upcoming weekly TV talk show.
"Hollywood has done as much as anybody to coarsen and diminish America's prestige in the world, and to dumb down public taste in the United States and beyond the United States," Black says at one point in the video obtained by the Globe and Mail newspaper and being shopped this week to international buyers at NATPE Miami.
Black, who was freed from a Florida prison in May 2012 after serving time for fraud and obstruction of justice charges, will co-host the weekly Canadian TV show, The Zoomer – Television for Boomers With Zip, for Vision TV channel.
He adds: "The CIA has not got anything right in Iran since Eisenhower got rid of Mossedagh" in 1953 (as part of a U.S.-engineered coup in that Middle Eastern country).
Black holds forth at a roundtable, throwing red meat to his conservative audience, while co-host Denise Donlon and guests nod their heads in agreement.
Canadian broadcaster ZoomerMedia plans 26 episodes of the talker, which is slated to launch here in late spring.
An international sales agent hasn't yet been lined up for the series.

Is Ron Johnson killing JCPenney?
- Dale Gibson

- Email | Twitter
Some of you may remember the time some years ago when The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO) changed the formula of its Coke soda. Lovers of the brand revolted en mass, and Coke was forced to return to the original formula.
It was only a year ago that Ron Johnson began changing the formula for J.C. Penney Co. Inc. (NYSE: JCP). Lovers of the Penney brand have revolted by shopping elsewhere, and the declining sales reported by the company are staggering. For the year, the company reported a drop in sales of $4.3 billion, to $13 billion.
Let that sink in: A decline in sales of $4.3 billion.
Forbes' blogger Walter Loeb wrote this about the numbers: "In all my years, I have never seen a loss of momentum of these proportions. It is clear to me JCPenney lost its core customer during the transformation."
I was one of those core customers. I still remember shopping with my mother at the JCPenney store in downtown Shelby, where I grew up. And I stayed loyal to the company – quality goods at a decent price. That is, until a year ago, when Penney dropped its strategy of sale after sale after sale.
Johnson, who won kudos for building the Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) store concept, threw it all out the window and, overnight, ripped the soul from a venerable company. When changes began, I wished him well, but I had my doubts.
Is it too late to change?
Probably, but change would have to be radical - not incremental. Coke didn't win back its customers by tweaking the new formula it introduced. It won back its customers by going back to the old formula.
