Bonnier Carlsen, 2012.
Reviewed by Anna Tebelius in SBR 2012:2
The poet and writer Malte Persson has written a children's book,
within it we journey to the world's most dangerous place to look,
at mysterious forests, deserts and quicksand,
filled with scary monsters, vampires, lost children, a frightening magician, that all occupy this land.
A giant castle on top of a mountain peak,
reveals long corridors and rooms filled with gruesome traps and more than one freak.
Inspired by classic stories and computer adventure games,
it's written in rhyme and with it Persson aims
to create a symbiosis between his love for wordplay
and Rui Tenreiro's whimsical illustrations that let a young or old mind stray,
making up their own stories as events unfold,
reading out loud to hear the words being told.
The main character is never seen on the page,
perhaps he or she has already reached the next stage,
but this is what I like about Persson's new tale,
it is instead the reader that takes up the trail.
Sometimes the rhymes jar and do not work so well,
and perhaps one would have liked more of a narrative to tell.
The adventure leaves a lot to the imagination,
but Persson lets the reader hear the words,
and think about their creation.
For me Tenreiro's drawings are stronger and more evocative than the rhymes,
as they provoke further journeys to be imagined at other times.
However I really think that the terrifying geography and the strange characters one meets,
in this the most dangerous place in the world will go down a treat.

Mapping Gender & Media is an online archive that provides access to information concerning individuals, organizations, policy documents and other resources that are relevant to gender-oriented communication governance in the trans-national context. This is understood as the sum of supra-national governing arrangements that promote a social agenda for change based on gender equity in and through any form of mediated communication.
The dataset Mapping Gender & Media is a thematic section of a broader archive devoted to Mapping Global Media Policy*. The Mapping Gender & Media section is a starting point to focus on the gendered dimensions of communication policies and broader governance processes. Moreover, this is the first global initiative that adopts an innovative approach – data collection, organization and visualization – concerning this specific topic.
Access the dataset here: http://www.globalmediapolicy.net/node/849
The Mapping Gender & Media thematic island contributes to mainstreaming the topic at universities, supports the organization of debates and discussions, gives voice to communities who may want to contribute further information or comments and promotes publications on the issue.
Created as a thematic section in the Globalmediapolicy.net platform, Mapping Gender & Media allows to visualize archived data in different ways:
Initiated as part of a research project conducted at the University of Padova (2011-2013), Mapping Gender & Media can now be used for scholarly analyses, teaching activities, advocacy initiatives. The thematic section will be expanded, with the contribution of interested subjects, to make it an even more relevant resource to support informed participation of interested individuals and organizations in upcoming policy processes such as Beijing +20, MDG and WSIS+10.
For information, comments and suggestions, please contact: Claudia Padovani, DSPGI, University of Padova.
* Mapping Global Media Policy:
Mapping Global Media Policy is an independent project initiated by the Global Media Policy Working Group of the International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR), hosted and supported by an academic consortium led by Media@McGill, a research and public outreach hub based at McGill University (Canada), and including University of Padova (Italy) and the Center for Media and Communication Studies (CMCS) at Central European University (Hungary).
More thematic sections ('islands') are being created within the project and can be explored at: http://www.globalmediapolicy.net/islands.

Happy Crack. Mad awesomeness.
Those are just a few words I've used to describe my new passion: Pinterest.
It was one of several things this week I found myself asking: How have I not heard of this before?!
I don't even know how to describe it, it's one of those things where you'll likely do one of these things:
1) Be mildly interested but not curious enough to click on the link and join in the fun.
2) Sure, you'll look but you will tell the part of you that wants to dive in that the last thing you need is another time suck. And you'll be right. BUT maybe you could exchange something else that's sucking your energy and check out something that just might be your daily dose of happy crack. Just sayin'.
3) Or, you might click on the Pinterest link, suck in your breath a bit as you behold the simple genius behind this mad awesomeness and start pinning your happy heart away. (If you fall into this camp and need an invite, email me or leave a message in the comments with your email and I'll send you one with joy in my heart. p.x. would love it if you follow me and let me know you're on there so I can follow you too! Too bad the social media lingo is so … sixth-grade please-sit-by-me-in-the-cafeteria sounding!)
But what the hell is it?
Oh, right. It's a virtual corkboard of coolness. It's a place where people pin photos that take their breath away like this:
or ideas they want to try like this:
or words to live by like this:
This is the best guide I've found about getting started: Pinterest: a beginner's guide
Okay, so the next thing many of you likely know about but I just discovered Pandora – (thank you Paul for helping me with that!) internet radio where you type in an artist you like and "they" customize a radio station with music you can groove to. For free. Sweet.
Bonus: you can click to see the entire lyrics of a song in case you're one of those people who consistently hears them wrong.
And finally, I accidentally came across a copy of Mental Floss magazine while chasing Jake down at the library. Seriously, how have I never read that? I totally geeked out on an article called:
10 incredible Moments in the History of Editing
By david wanczyk
Can I just tell you how happy it made me to know that there were enough other people on the planet that think it's cool to care about edits that changed history to justify the cost of producing a magazine? Love that. If you're one of us, did you know Catch-22 was originally titled Catch-18. Now I'm full of more fun facts like that, FYI.
So, there's a few of my favorites for this Friday!
Happy Weekend.

An introduction to trichiasis
Trachomatous trichiasis is an advanced stage of trachoma. It is defined as having one or more eyelashes touching the surface of the eye or evidence of recent removal of inturned eyelashes is also a sign of trichiasis. In 2016, an estimated 3.2 million people with trichiasis needed surgery to avoid blindness.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends surgery to reduce the risk of sight loss from trachomatous trichiasis. However, over the last decade, only 50% of the global surgical target for trichiasis surgery has been achieved. This means we will not reach everyone who currently needs surgery until 2032, unless we increase the surgical rate across affected endemic communities.
Why do people get trichiasis?
Repeated infection with Chlamydia trachomatis causes severe inflammation of the conjunctivae. This, along with the response of the immune system to the infection, leads to irreversible changes within the fibrous connective tissue of the eyelid. Scars form on the tarsal plate and conjunctivae.
This scar tissue leads to changes in the eyelids (including reductions in the volume and composition of the tear film) and may pull the eyelashes inwards. Sometimes the scarring is so severe that the whole eyelid margin rolls inwards; this is known as entropion.
The eyelashes come into contact with the surface of the eye. This is trachomatous trichiasis (TT). If the in-turned eye lashes are central, they will scratch the cornea during blinking, which is both painful and sight threatening.
This step in the progression of trachoma disease can be succinctly captured as "scars today, trichiasis tomorrow."
Eventually, the rubbing of the eyelashes damages the cornea leading to opacification (known as CO) which you can see in this eye with trichiasis. Central corneal opacities impair vision.

Who is affected by trichiasis?
The rate of progression from scarring of the conjunctiva to trichiasis varies across different communities. Progression depends how endemic trachoma is in a community - ongoing episodes of inflammation of the conjunctiva is a major risk factor.
Trachomatous trichiasis mostly affects older people. However, in some highly trachoma-endemic regions it is not unusual to find young children with trichiasis. Across most settings, women are up to four times more likely than men to get trichiasis, regardless of age.
How do we prevent blindness from trichiasis?
We can improve access to, awareness and acceptance of, surgery for trichiasis by selecting an appropriate procedure and using a trained team to deliver the surgical service at a community level.
The earlier management is provided, the better the outcome for preventing blindness and visual impairment from trichiasis.
People with trichiasis do not always come forward for treatment. There are many reasons, depending on setting and personal circumstances.
Each trachoma elimination programme needs to put a system in place that tries to understand why people don't come for trichiasis surgery in their setting. This will help to actively find, counsel and provide the best treatment (either surgery or sometimes epilation) to people with trichiasis.
Nyakeira (young girl in South Sudan)
A few years ago my eyes started hurting me - they were tearing and sensitive to smoke and light. My eyelashes started touching my eyes in the sunlight, so I sit in the shade with the elderly while my friends go out to play. The most I could do was pound and grind cereals for my mother, because I was nearly blind. None of my friends or family knew what to do about my eye pain. My mother prayed that I could get medical attention and I could only cry thinking about my hopeless future.

I you are fired in the state of California, your final paycheck(s) must be issued at the time of termination—that same day. Depending upon the company, you may be asked to pick up your check at HR or payroll, but your final check, including accrued vacation, has to be given to you on the last day you work. (The company doesn't have to include sick leave unless specified in its policy and procedures.)
If the company does not meet the above criteria, you can call the California Department of Labor and file a complaint, which is exactly what Ben did next.
"I turned in my laptop, the only piece of equipment that was theirs," says Ben. "Then I came home and called the labor board. I filled out their form and contacted the company's main office in Virginia. HR said my check would go out via UPS the next day—Saturday.
I waited all day Saturday—no check.
On Monday morning I called corporate office and explained that, by law, I need my check. It was three weeks pay. The woman in HR at corporate office told me that my checks were delayed due to a snow storm in Kentucky and UPS had sent it to Taiwan.
I told her that I had contacted the California labor board. She called the labor board and they told her that indeed, I was correct under California law. On Tuesday, I had to go back to the office, where I was fired, to get my check.
When you do business in California, you'd better know all the labor laws. This woman at corporate office had no idea until she phoned the labor board.
As for my termination, I never had a chance to make this job work. And they'd better not say anything bad about me. They are definitely not included on my resume. Because of the way this company treated me, I'm not going away quietly. Now they are being investigated by the labor board about my pay check, they may think twice before they screw someone else around."

Cash was born Reginald Alexander and raised in Cleveland, Ohio but lived most of his life in Atlanta, Georgia. He decided to start writing fiction while incarcerated at a state prison in Georgia. His style is gritty, raw, and real. Even from the depths of confinement he has an imagination that's in overdrive.
His debut novel Trust No Man was released under the Wahida Clark Presents imprint in 2009, and the Trust No Man trilogy went on to reach hood classic status. It remains one of the most respected street novels in the industry.
Since making his debut with WCP, Cash has since formed his own publishing company Lock Down Publications. Under LDP the author's star has shined brighter than ever with critically acclaimed novels such as A Dirty South Love, Shorty Got A Thug, Trust No Bitch 1&2, and Thugs Cry 1&2.
Cash is presently in his 22nd year of incarceration but he remains strong and he strives to teach through the power of his pen.

Desoldering tweezers are desoldering tools with two heated tips, like a tweezer, which are used to desolder (remove solder) from electronic components. They can be used to separate components and undo a bad solder job if you've made a mistake.
How do desoldering tweezers work?
Desoldering tweezers combine the squeezing action of mechanical tweezers with a heating action. This allows you to grip small electronic devices while simultaneously heating them for desoldering. They provide a fast and efficient method for desoldering electronic components such as fixed resistors.
Desoldering tweezers are useful because they heat are able to heat precise spots without affecting the surrounding components. They melt the filler metal alloy (solder) in the joint and break the permanent connection between the electronic components.
Types of desoldering tweezers
Choose from designs already complete with soldering iron tips or from models without tips, which can be purchased separately. Some models of desoldering tweezers come with a stand - when you place the tweezers in the stand the device automatically switches the unit off, extending tip life and helping to protect against accident and injury.

Wash out in Semana Santa
For the various processions that take place during Semana Santa, the people of Ayacucho create beautiful alfombras de flores – carpets of flowers for the various religious idols to pass over. On Wednesday the procession of El Encuentro – The Encounter many of these were destroyed by a brief rain shower.
The various makers of the various alfombras scrambled to save their work as the rain began by covering them with plastic. Then as the rain water began flowing down the vast mountain hills behind the city the street turned into a river and there was little they were able to do. This video shows one of the alfombras being destroyed after being abandoned.

2. For granola with chunks, slowly stir mixture in pot over low-medium heat until ingredients become sticky and form clumps (it will be somewhat hard to stir). If you need to add more water, do so.
3. Dump mixture onto 2 large jelly-roll pans, spread evenly. Bake for 1-1 1/2 hours (less time is needed for the granola with no chunks), stirring every 15-20 minutes. Granola will be a golden brown when it is ready.
4. Cool granola by spreading it out on flattened paper grocery bags. Add dried fruit.
Store in an air tight container; it will last several weeks, though ours is always eaten by then.

With so many 80s fashion trends undergoing revival on the high street, it doesn't have to be the more obvious ones you choose. Eschewing the neon and leggings, body-conscious dressing is a great way to a classic eighties chic.
This Lace Ponte Dress from Oasis captures a subtle eighties look with style, using a form fitting sheath dress as the basis. The close fit avoids looking trashy with a knee-length hem, while another on-era trend is utilised in the lace inserts.
Get it from Oasis for £55.

This cantaloupe smoothie makes a great summer fruit smoothie recipe when a cantaloupe is in season. Freezing the cantaloupe before you make this fruit smoothie recipe makes it icy, like a milkshake.
3 cups cantaloupe chunks (about 1-inch pieces)
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup milk
3/4 cup vanilla yogurt
Optional: 1 tablespoon honey
Steps to Make It
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
Place cantaloupe chunks on the baking sheet, leaving space between each piece of cantaloupe.
Freeze 1 hour. Transfer to a plastic bag, and freeze at least 1 more hour.
These cantaloupe chunks will keep in the freezer for several months, provided you store them in an airtight, freezer-safe container.
Place cantaloupe chunks in the bottom of a Vita Mix Blender, regular blender or food processor.
Top with remaining ingredients. Puree until smooth.

Q. How do I avoid having someone steal my information while
using a public Wi-Fi?
A. In an earlier column, we gave a limited answer, but some
additional points might be helpful. First, if you are sending
information you want to keep private, check to see if the site
is encrypted. You can tell if the pages are protected by noting
that the address header starts out with https: instead of http.
Banks, credit card companies and webmail normally use such
encryption, but sometimes they shift to pages they do not bother
to encrypt, so check every time the page changes to make sure
the address still includes the https.
When you finish using an encrypted site, make sure to log out.
Another possibility is to use a virtual private network [VPN]
that hides your address and encrypts your activity. The easiest
is the free HotSpot Shield available
here which adds
advertising on each webpage you review. Another is Hamachi which
is free if used only for personal activity, but it is more
complicated and like HotSpot Shield will slow up browsing. If
you have your computer set to share files with others on your
home network, turn off file sharing and network discovery since
everyone else on the Wi-Fi system is now part of your network.
Finally, if you are using your computer in a location with free
Wi-Fi and do not plan to go on-line, turn off your wireless
connection to remove your computer from that network.

The revolution will not be YouTubed but this is a good example of simple media critique. Dizzy sounds less ornery than skeptical, making a point to underline perspective shift in "State Of Mind." Check the video for the first joint off his album after the jump.

After dropping the audio last week, Trademark Da Skydiver follows up with some extremely dope visuals for his single "Rite Nah" featuring Dizzy Wright. This track is from Trade's forthcoming album Flamingo Barnes 2: Mingo Royale, dropping November 19th via The Barnes Corp / iHipHop Distribution. You can pre-order the album on iTunes now. Read More
In 1938, Alex Steinweiss, an art director for Columbia Records invented the concept of album cover art, making way for epic images that continuously influence pop culture. It's different now that most listeners stream and download music, which has ignited a market for unique album artwork to differentiate one project from the next. Also, design software is much more accessible and apps like instagram are extremely popular. That accessibility has given artists a bevy of new media to expand greatly the idea of album covers. Artists can create several album covers with a mouse click, and with a simple QR code make them interactive, or create a vine video that gives the viewer a short film in lieu of a traditional static album cover.
So it's no shock that this year is has delivered dope album covers.
Here is my list of 2013's Five Best Hip Hop Album Covers, based on: visual aesthetic, concept in relation to album name and theme, and creative execution.
Trademark Da Skydiver's highly-anticipated album, Flamingo Barnes 2: Mingo Royale hits stores on November 19th. Until then, Trade is lacing us with the album's first single featuring the Nevada spitter, Dizzy Wright. Read More
Trademark Da Skydiver is back with the commercial follow-up to his heralded project, Flamingo Barnes. As premiered on HipHopDX, Flamingo Barnes 2: Mingo Royale features an all-star lineup and some extremely dope cover art. FB2 drops November 19th on iHipHop Distribution. Hit the jump to check out the track list.
Wu-Tang, Tyler The Creator, Danny Brown (and special performances from ODB and Eazy-E) are just a few of the names that headline this year's Rock The Bells Festival. Check out the full lineup after the jump. Read More
XXL releases the third of their Freshmen Cyphers, this time featuring Dizzy Wright, Logic and Angel Haze over Jahlil Beats production. Overall, this is surprisingly probably the strongest of them all.
Hopsin, Jarren Benton, Dizzy Wright and SwizZz take it back to the essence in this cypher. The Funk Volume team goes in over the classic LOX posse cut "None Of Y'all Better" produced by the one and only DJ Premier.

Dennis Long is Nebo Transportation's January Employee of the Month. He was nominated by Jim Moshier.
There are many people involved in the safe transport of students and some are unseen people who work hard in the background. These people work long hours in heat and snow with little acknowledgment.
Dennis might seem rough and tough to people who don't know him well; but under that tough exterior, he cares about the drivers and the kids. He is always working hard to help keep the buses well maintained and running safely. He insures that none of the buses in his care leave the lot in an unsafe condition. He is quick to resolve problems, and support the drivers in their duties and schedules. Thousands of children ride every day and count on the equipment to get them there on time and safely.
Without dedicated bus technicians like Dennis and the team he works with, the whole system would collapse. Dennis cares about more than a paycheck. He uses his training and skill to keep operations running smoothly and is due a hardy "Thank you!".
Jean Taylor was nominated by Radonna Sudweeks as Nebo Transportation's January Employee of the Month.
Jean began driving bus for Nebo School District in 1980. She loves being on a special needs route and loves the children on her bus. Jean retired once in her driving career; but due to the passion she has for driving a school bus, she decided to return to what she loves to do.
Jean has 4 children (2 boys and 2 girls) and 11 grandchildren (9 girls and 2 boys) that she loves more than life itself. Her sister Carol is her lifelong best friend. They're there for each other through thick and thin.
Jean also danced for Jean's Golden Girls for five years. Man! She was awesome! Jean is a big Denver Broncos fan, but the one thing she loves more than that is her dog Ruger. Ruger definitely keeps Jean on her toes.
Jean, you are a good friend to everyone around you.
Nebo Transportation would like to congratulate Dennis Long and Jean Taylor for being our Outstanding Employees for January 2012.

Curing pumpkins
How do I make my pumpkin last for more than a few weeks?
If you want your pumpkin to last you need to cure them. Curing is a very simple process that involves hardening the skin and stem to protect the flesh inside from deterioration. If done correctly, your pumpkin should last for 3-6 months.
It is important to leave the stem as long as possible when cutting it from the vine (4 inches or more is ideal) and be sure to carry your pumpkin from the bottom and not the stem. Wipe off any excess dirt from the outside of your freshly harvested pumpkin and place it in a warm sunny location. Outside in the sun is ideal, and let it sit for about 2 -3 weeks. Rotate it periodically to make sure all sides are exposed to the sunshine but make sure you bring it indoors when frost or freezing temperatures are forcast. Pumpkins can not tolerate being frozen! Your pumpkin is cured when the stem dries up and the skin can no longer be pierced easily with your fingernail. Then bring it inside and store in a cool place, off the floor, until you need it.
No Frost, No Freezing, No Snow, No Concrete!

Why global asset allocation matters more now than ever
When we look at what is worrying global investors, three factors account for the pervasive market skittishness we've seen in recent weeks: extrapolation of the soft patch in the US, fear over the impact of higher US rates and lingering skepticism over the global recovery. We also believe that many find the length of the current business cycle disorienting.
Notwithstanding soft first-quarter US data, most macro data points show the US economy in mid-cycle. It would be extraordinary for the US to move from a prolonged early-cycle phase directly to late-cycle before the Federal Reserve (Fed) raises rates, but this fear of "policy error" haunts investors. The impacts of the recent European crisis, and the long-term experience of Japan's underperformance, are cut deep in investors' memories.
There remains a divergence in growth and policy around the world, and while we expect this to persist through 2015, we also have faith that the world economy is improving. Rising wages and a slower pace of US dollar appreciation should limit the fallout from the Fed's expected tightening in the third quarter. Meanwhile, European and Japanese policy stimulus is coming in tandem with better data trends.
We expect both data and policy to reinforce the notion that the US economy is in mid-cycle. Paradoxically, the very fear that the economy will lurch to late-cycle or slide into recession will probably restrain the exuberance that is common at the peak of a cycle.
This presents a supportive backdrop for equities. US stocks lagged in early 2015, but cuts to earnings expectations leave a low hurdle for positive surprise. Meanwhile, higher beta markets—Europe and Japan—continue to deliver on earnings as currency weakness boosts output. Central bank stimulus is keeping in place a bid for duration, even though disinflationary trends appear to be bottoming out.
Stock-bond correlations remain negative, meaning an overweight (OW) in bonds still effectively balances an OW in stocks. But as inflation expectations grind higher and the US starts to raise rates, bond yields—especially at the short end—have scope to rise.
Our conviction views are thus OW US and European equities, balanced by a modest OW in long-end US Treasuries, and we have moved to a small OW in credit. We remain OW US dollar and Japanese stocks but have trimmed the positions. By contrast, we are underweight (UW) short-end US Treasuries, emerging market (EM) equity, commodities and cash; we remain UW in euro (EUR) and pound sterling (GBP) but with smaller positions.
The downside risks of overzealous policy tightening or a currency crisis in emerging markets remain; on the upside, a more synchronized global recovery would give a powerful boost to risky assets and send bond yields higher. On balance though, we believe that the themes of divergent global policy, a gradual recovery in Europe and a rebound in US economic strength will dominate the middle part of the year. The growth scare from the first quarter should abate, and while we anticipate some volatility around the first Fed hike, we see a US economy in mid-cycle and a supportive backdrop for risk taking.
A large body of research finds that asset allocation is a critical, if not the critical determinant of a portfolio's total return. We believe that a nimble, flexible approach to asset allocation, deployed in an unconstrained global strategy, can be especially effective. Because it allows a portfolio manager to uncover opportunities across markets and sectors, an unconstrained approach can be a powerful tool to deliver consistent total returns.
John Bilton is global head of Multi-Asset Strategy at JP Morgan Asset Management

"Mass Incarceration Affects us All"
Our committee is a proud member of the Virginia Prison Justice Network and a sponsor of VAPOC (Virginia Prisoner of Conscience).
Listen to the audio blog and take action! Audio posts are by VAPOC members. Blog posts are written by prisoners in Virginia.
Every day we get letters from prisoners. We advocate for their human rights, provide information and address their grievances. If you'd like to help, let us know! Contact
The Coalition for Justice is a founding member of the Virginia Prison Justice Network (VAPJN) and a sponsor for VAPOC.
VAPJN is a network of organizations around the state who work for change in the prison system by seeking solutions to the judicial racism that plagues our criminal justice system and by also providing a platform for prisoners to be heard. For more information on VAPJN, go here.
VAPOC, a prisoner led organization of prisoners and supporters, who seek to end mass incarceration in Virginia by promoting awareness among the incarcerated and those in society by enlightening them in the fields of Prison Justice, Law, Politics, and Community Rebuilding/Reentry, thereby motivating them to become more involved in the struggle for freedom, justice, and equality. For more information on VAPOC go here.
The CFJ Prison Justice Committee believes that our current retributive justice system focuses on punishment, blame and isolation. Restorative justice focuses on healing and rehabilitation with an understanding that race and class are major factors in mass incarceration. By allowing prisoners to take responsibility for their actions, they can not only repair harm but can learn how to make responsible choices and prevent future harm. We need more dialogue, community support, inclusion and involvement. We do not excuse criminal behavior by any means. We believe in accountability but we see the need to treat prisoners with respect and allow them their human rights. Only then, can they truly successfully reintegrate into the larger community. Our steering committee: Margaret Breslau, Jennifer Deegan, Kay Kay Goette, Askari Danso, Chanel Burnette, Hassan Shabbaz.
We must all look in our communities and campuses to see the invisible hands that connect us -- from the prison made furniture at VT, to reintegrating prisoners back into our community in just and responsible ways.
Also, Virginia schools refer more students to law enforcement than other states, and that, nationally, schools refer black and special-needs kids to cops and courts disproportionately, at three times the national rate. The youth to prison pipeline starts here. We have state codes that include life without parole and our state's 21 Day Rule, whereas an accuser can be charged with perjury and be free but the accused can't get out of prison because the rule prohibits trial judges from reviewing newly discovered evidence if it is presented more than three weeks after sentencing.
Get involved.

And forget the products — so far Yahoo has been unable to attract top quality talent to the company. Not one 20-something I have talked to in the past six months has wistfully talked about working for Yahoo. And even those who have joined Yahoo from Google are joining the company thanks to mega-million dollar contracts, not because they want to work there. When Yahoo becomes the desired job-spot for a fresh, new tech tinkerer — that will be the time I will lighten up on Yahoo.

If you read my blog regularly then you'll know I'm a massive theatre fan. Especially musicals.
I love all the big, popular shows and have been lucky enough to see quite a few of them, but I'm always interested in new shows too.
This brand new Musical coming to London next month looks brilliant!
Flying Entertainment with AES in association with The King's Head presents:
'Adam & Eve….and Steve' makes its London debut at the Kings Head, Islington from 21st March for a 5 week run. This toe-tapping, warm-hearted new musical delivers laugh-out-loud moments in abundance and turns the age-old story of The Garden of Eden completely on its head. The show is set to delight audiences and critics alike after a hugely successful Edinburgh Fringe Festival run last August.
God's plan to create Adam and Eve goes deliciously wrong when the mischievous Beelzebub interferes, and God creates Steve instead of Eve. Adam is delighted with Steve (who thinks he is a woman called St. Eve) and all is harmonious until the two new BFFs are confronted by Eve herself. A ménage a trois for the modern era ensues, and the future of humankind hangs in the balance as everyman Adam, loveable OTT Steve and jealous Eve try to sort out their tangled emotions….'
This doesn't look like my usual kind of musical that I see, but I will definitely be making the effort to grab a friend and have some laughs at this acclaimed comedy musical!
It sounds really good! Following a sold out run at Edinburgh Fringe in 2016, this 'fresh and funny farce is sinfully tongue in cheek and wickedly heart-warming.'
Here are some reviews from the Edinburgh Festival:
"This is not just good – it's GREAT! From the get-go, the show is slick, brilliantly cast and the performance of each and every individual is perfection.
"It's exactly the sort of silly, camp fun that one could hope for and a great time to be had, no matter your persuasions."
"Adam & Eve and Steve is absolutely a show to see, not only as a piece of satisfying entertainment but also for its ability to challenge both socially and theatrically.
Excellently cast, musically sound and very well performed."
"This is a wonderful show with real heart, comedy and great musical accompaniment, one of the most enjoyable shows of the Fringe"
'One of the biggest musicals at the Edinburgh Fringe'
The book and lyrics are by Chandler Warren, a noted US entertainment lawyer, producer and writer. Warren has written extensively for TV and theatre, as well as penning numerous books and articles. He has also produced movies for TV and theatre productions – both on and off Broadway. The original music was composed by Wayne Moore, whose previous works include; There's No Place Like Hollywood (Stella Adler Theatre), Freeway Dreams (The Gardenia), I Know I Came In Here For Something and The Real Desperate Housewives (Taconic Playhouse, New York).
This production has Francesca Goodridge directing and choreographing once more. Her directing credits include Shout! The Mod Musical at LIPA, Edinburgh Festival and Liverpool's Royal Court Theatre.
The King's Head Theatre is London's first and foremost pub theatre and is led by Artistic Director, Adam Spreadbury-Maher. "New writing, revivals, musicals, opera, cabaret and queer work sit side by side in an unashamedly eclectic programme of work. Thanks to an in-house agreement with Equity, we're leading the way when it comes to ethical employment on the fringe whilst our resident trainee director's scheme continues to provide comprehensive, vocational training to the rising stars of tomorrow. With high profile co-productions, national touring and transfers to and from the biggest arts festivals in the world, we're certainly not slowing down!"

My earliest literary influences originated under the pens of DC Thomson cartoonists. Long before going to school I remember trying to decipher the lettering that went with the exploits of Desperate Dan and Oor Wullie, quickly moving on to my brother's Commando books and occasionally sneaking a peek at what my sisters Liz and Maria were reading. My mother said comics would "rot their brains" but dad encouraged it all with a wry smile. My brother Hugh used to stand at the door of the bedroom in the light from the landing, to read for hours after we had been sent to bed. I quickly realised that learning for yourself was that important.
It was the era of watching the night sky above Drumchapel for signs of Laika and Yuri Gagarin, instantly linking Baikonur with Cape Canaveral in every child's imagination; of cramming two dozen kids into an exclusive television-owning neighbour's living room, to view The Lone Ranger and Six Five Special. All the kids on my street were hooked on popular culture – who knew that in a few years it would be the Beatles we were all talking about, or Mick Jagger strutting his stuff on Ready, Steady, Go?
Things changed so fast in that era: I was reading Biggles in the Baltic the evening when, in the memorable words of Anthony Burgess: "The stain of the corpse was left on the living room hearth-rug." I rushed downstairs to switch on the telly for Bonanza and got the interlude card. Switching over in annoyance I saw a solemn woman pianist performing in front of an orchestra. We all loved Kennedy in my family. I was just ten but the news was staggering - a good friend had just been murdered.
We watched the first episode of Dr Who the following day. Somehow it never worked for me – though the imminence of Space travel, time warps and aliens were a given. Later that evening my thirteen year old sister Elizabeth cried when she heard Millicent Martin singing the title melody of That Was the Week That Was, dripping with the saddest irony.
Central to my social education were larger than life garrulous Irish / Scottish parents and Grandparents as well as three intensely amicable, quick minded siblings. My mother Molly had to engage with everyone she met, find out everything about them and then tell them everything of conceivable interest about herself. If she had lived beyond '98 she would have spent half her day on Facebook. There was an argument at every meal time but we had been thoroughly indoctrinated by our Grandma Lizzie: "Never let the Sun go down on your anger."
Telly pre-figured from the early sixties onward in every cultural sphere. It was what opened the good morning conversation every day with my compulsive viewing school friends Chris K and Martin P as soon as we arrived: "Did you see . . . ?"
By the time I stopped in horror again in front of the tube, this time at fourteen seeing US jets napalm bombing a Vietnamese village, my sympathies had already tuned to those poor people, never the hard invective of an American President with an eight o'clock shadow. In '68 Walter Kronkite elaborating upon the visible fear of stunned GI's desperately engaged in the streets of Hue, set a perspective upon the intimate reality of warfare and the meaning of "cosmic escalation" for the first time ever for hundreds of millions of viewers at home. The politicians just couldn't keep on lying.
Around the time I was listening to Pete Townshend wryly knocking out Legal Matter on Radio Caroline, my brother made me listen instead to Dylan's Bringing it All Back Home. Despite seven years between us that connection was always vital for me as a kid. My turn to grab his attention came in my late teens when I got Hughie to spend an evening listening to Pink Floyd and Santana.
From my early teens my brother made me aware of Hemingway and Tolstoy, Golding and the "Angry Young Men". He gave me an anthology of Steinbeck's short stories including Tortilla Flat and Cannery Row, which worked for me better than anything I have ever read before or since. Steinbeck's work is touched by simple compassion for the individual behind the action. I imagine this is the highest art for any writer – to be able to show the truth within the fiction.
Over the years I've enjoyed reading works by Herman Hesse; Musuji Ibuse; Arthur Koestler; Len Deighton; John Le Carre; Arthur C Clarke; Larry McMurtry; Michael Connelly; as well as classics from Jane Austen and Thomas Hardy amongst others, all predictable - nothing heavy. I've enjoyed reading some of the more popular journalistic historians and autobiographies as well: Stephen Ambrose; Cornelius Ryan; Adam Zamoyski; Sebastian Faulks, RV Jones.
I vaguely remember a drunken conversation in my early twenties with an old school friend David L, who was generally reckoned to be a genius by everyone in our year group. He studied Literature at University. He was discussing Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano with two or three other people who had also read the novel. They were debating whether the principal themes were about alcoholism or depression; sexual frustration; thwarted career ambitions, racial animosity or whatever. It felt like we had all read a different book (tribute the author). I finally interrupted to say emphatically: "No, I think it's about guilt! Misguided loyalty and uncontrolled rage, resulting in guilt. That's the burden of anyone who goes to war. They can never forget what they've done."
My dad had told me this when he handed me back the copy of Len Deighton's Bomber I had lent him, saying: "I can't read this." He went on to say there was never a day that passed he did not regret what he had done; never a night when he did not re-live the vicious burden of warfare in his nightmares. Jim and his brother Billy influenced me more than anyone with their brilliant, humorous stories. They in turn would probably agree they had been influenced most in their formative years by their remarkable mother Hannah.

New 'Les Misérables' Stills Show Amanda Seyfried as Cosette, Samantha Barks as Éponine
Posted on Tuesday, May 29th, 2012 by Angie Han
The release date for Tom Hooper's Les Misérables is still seven months out, but Oscar buzz has been surrounding this project from the get-go. No surprise there — it is, after all, a splashy cinematic adaptation of a beloved Broadway musical and classic Victor Hugo novel, with the Oscar-winning director of The King's Speech at the helm and A-listers like Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, and Anne Hathaway among its stars. Regardless of how the finished product turns out, any film with that kind of pedigree is bound to attract a fair amount of attention.
Fortunately, what we've seen of it so far suggests that Les Misérables actually stands a chance of living up to all that hype. The first set photos of Jackman and Crowe (as leads Jean Valjean and Inspector Javert, respectively) hit earlier this spring, and today we've got a fresh batch of official stills that show, in addition to Jackman, Crowe, and Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried as Cosette, Eddie Redmayne as Marius, and stage vet Samantha Barks as Éponine. Check out the new images after the jump.
The recently released photos are combination of stills from the film and behind-the-scenes snapshots. I especially love the one of the two students sitting and conversing on a railing, which looks impeccably historical at first glance until you realize everyone in it is drinking from plastic water bottles and Styrafoam cups. But the real news here is that we're getting our first official looks at three key players — Cosette, Marius, and Éponine.
[USA Today and Twitter via The Film Stage]
The production clearly isn't skimping on costuming, set design, or talent. Of course there's much more to the film than that, but it does look gorgeous so far. Les Misérables will land December 14.
Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Misérables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption–a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. Jackman plays ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert (Crowe) after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine's (Hathaway) young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever.

5-Year, $305B Highway Bill Passes Congress
By Kent Hoover for Phoenix Business Journal
Business groups are celebrating a rare bipartisan victory in Congress: passage of a $305B bill that funds highway projects for the next five years.
The Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act passed both the House and Senate by wide margins Dec. 3 and will be signed into law by President Barack Obama.
The highway and transit funding is important to businesses because it promises to ease the movement of workers and goods around the country. Plus, construction companies and their suppliers will gets lots of business out of the projects that will be funded by the bill — Associated Equipment Distributors estimates the bill will produce $13B in equipment sales, rental and maintenance spending alone.
The U.S. Travel Association said the bill is good for the travel industry since eight out of every 10 trips in America are made by car, bus or other road transportation. Plus, the bill creates a national commission on travel infrastructure. Travel leaders aren't thrilled, however, by the fact the bill raised customs fees to help pay for highway spending.

Cash cut for Port's toddlers
Portarlington Parent and Toddler group have been forced to close during school holidays to ensure that they will have enough funding to keep going.
The future of the group, which has been running for the last 10 years, was in jeopardy last week, as the group's organisers learned they had not been successful in their application to the HSE for a lottery grant.
"During the good times we would have received €1,200 a year from the HSE, then this was reduced to €900. This is the second year that we have received nothing," explained Sandra Gavin.
The group have only enough money to cover the rent in the Community Centre for the next eight months.
"We have €600 left in our account now. We have decided that if we cut out holidays, this will cut down our costs and we will have enough money for the rest of the year. The Community Centre have also allowed us to pay monthly, so this makes things easier."
Sandra said over the years the group has had many different homes, but this is the most suitable.
"We have tried everywhere from coffee shops to the GAA centre, but this is the most suitable place. They have discounted us on the rent, but they can't give it to us for free otherwise everyone will be looking for rooms for free."
Sandra and Karen Purcell who also helps run the group, held a public meeting in Portarlington last week to generate more support for the group.
"The meeting went quite well, we have more people to help out because myself and Karen can not do it all on our own. We have also a few fundraising ideas including a cake sale, and Nora Gannon has offered to donate the proceeds from the Crazy Dance group's halloween party. We also hope to have a supermarket collection at some stage."
"We also have a new chairperson and secretary, so it was good to get some new people involved as we can't keep going forever."
Neither Sandra nor Karen want to to increase the price of the group.
"At the moment, we collect €2.50 per family, we really don't want to increase this. As it is there are weeks that people wouldn't even have this. This covers a tea or coffee for the parents and a snack for the kids."
Sandra continues: "People say they want to keep it going and Portarlington is big enough. It's a great way to meet new people, especially if you are new to town."
Sandra, who is originally from Germany said she has made some great friends through the group.
"My eldest son is 9 now and I first started going when he was five months old. It's good for the kids, for that stage before playschool to get them used to other children and it's a great network for the parents."

Interpretive Summary: Atmospheric carbon dioxide provides the carbon for all living things. As carbon dioxide continues to increase in the atmosphere, can we select within a given agricultural plant, such as soybean, for varieties which show the strongest yield response? If we can identify these varieties and their characteristics, this would allow a substantial increase in soybean productivity with little environmental cost. The study described herein attempts to do so by examining twelve different soybean cultivars (those which are the ancestral varieties for all modern soybean production) at current (ambient) and future (elevated) levels of carbon dioxide in order to quantify and utilize variability in the response of seed yield to increasing carbon dioxide. The study found that some cultivars of soybean increased their current yields by as much as 80% as carbon dioxide increased. For those soybean varieties showing the largest increase in seed yield, the increases were associated with changes in branching patterns, pod production and an increase in individual pod and seed weight at the higher carbon dioxide concentration. Data from the study indicate that these observed changes in reproduction could be used to establish a set of selection criteria which could be useful to plant breeders in optimizing the seed yield response of soybean as atmospheric carbon dioxide increases.
Technical Abstract: To determine the physiological or morphological basis for the vegetative and seed yield response of soybean to increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide, and to quantify the range of response of seed yield, eleven ancestral and one modern cultivar differing in determinacy, maturity group and growth habit were grown to reproductive maturity at two CO2 partial pressures, 40 Pa (ambient) and 71 Pa (elevated) in temperature controlled glasshouses at the Climate Stress Laboratory twice during Spring through Fall of 1998. Significant intraspecific variation in the responses of both vegetative growth and seed yield to elevated CO2 were observed between cultivars. Overall, elevated CO2 increased total biomass by 0 to 76%, with an average of 43% at the end of the vegetative stage, while average seed yield increased by only 31% with a range of 0 to 80%. The degree of intraspecific variation was independent of differences in the response of single leaf photosynthesis among cultivars at elevated CO2. Vegetative growth responses (e.g., leaf area, leaf weight) or differences in the partitioning of vegetative mass among organs (e.g. root/shoot) were also independent of seed yield variation. Specific reproductive characteristics which increased yield at elevated CO2 were lateral branching and a subsequent increase in pod numbers, as well as an increase in individual pod and seed weight. These data indicate that variation in carbon partitioning to and among reproductive structures could be used to establish a set of selection criteria which would utilize increasing atmospheric CO2 to maximize future seed yield in soybean.

Edward Cross is the son of Chaim Cross, a rabbi living in Queens. As a young Jewish boy, Edward was picked on against because of his heritage. As he grew older, he became a fierce Zionist to defend that heritage, but as a man he became what he most hated-a Nazi skin-head. Just as an abused child grows to be an abusing adult, Edward Cross, the victim of racism, became a racist himself.[2]
While attending Empire State University, Edward became the leader of a group of militant students. Shaving his head and permanently scaring his face with the tattoo of a Nazi swastika, Edward took the pseudonym of "Eddie the Cross." Late one afternoon, in Dr. Evan Swann's research lab at Empire State University, Peter Parker (alias the hero Spider-Man) was working after hours to develop a new and improved webbing. Unfortunately, his labors were in vain, for he only produced a batch of corrosive liquid that dissolved whatever it touched into a smelly puddle of goo.[2]
Before Peter could dispose of the chemical waste, he was distracted by a scene on the lawn outside, where Eddie the Cross was leading a group of skinheads in a cross-burning demonstration. As things began to get out of hand, Peter changed into his Spider-Man costume and arrived on the scene just in time to prevent the reformed super-criminal Rocket Racer from charging headlong into the skinheads and starting a riot. With the aid of his jet-board, Rocket Racer escaped Spider-Man's grasp, however, and attacked Eddie the Cross. Spider-Man quickly intervened, and pulled Rocket Racer away from the scene just as the police arrived.[2]
Realizing the skinheads would probably be back to cause more serious trouble, Rocket Racer and Spider-Man staked out the Hall of Afro-American Studies on the E.S.U. campus. Just as they suspected, the skinheads came back and planted a bomb that blew up the building. Infuriated, Rocket Racer attacked Spider-Man when the web-slinger tried to calm him down, and then took off after the skinheads. The berserk Rocket Racer ended up pursuing Eddie the Cross into Dr. Swann's laboratory. As Rocket Racer was about to pummel Eddie senseless, Spider-Man crashed through the window and gave Rocket Racer a shot to the jaw.[2]
As the two heroes struggled on the floor, Eddie searched for a weapon to kill them both, and found Peter Parker's jar of corrosive webbing. Raising it above his head, Eddie was about to throw the jar when one of Rocket Racer's micro-rockets shattered the container, spilling the acidic contents all over the young racist. The toxic chemicals had a horrible effect on Eddie, dissolving him into a quivering puddle of flesh. Rocket Racer fled the scene, and Spider-Man pursued him, realizing that the police would blame Rocket Racer if he were not present to give his side of the story. In the meantime, Eddie the Cross disappeared.[1]
Eddie returned to his gang's hideout in a junkyard in Long Island City, where he quickly engulfed and dissolved his comrades, claiming that it was time for them to join him in making the ultimate sacrifice for racial purity. Standing above the smoldering bones of his friends, Eddie the Cross renamed himself Skinhead, the White Redeemer. Tapping into the university's computer system, Rocket Racer discovered Eddie's home address. Through contacts at the police station, Peter Parker discovered the same information. Rocket Racer arrived at the home first, and confronted Eddie's father.[1]
As the saddened rabbi told of his son's transformation into a racist, Eddie, in his form as a blob of flesh, crashed through the window and attacked. Rocket Racer was knocked unconscious, and Skinhead was about to engulf his father when Spider-Man arrived. After being knocked around by the nearly indestructible blob, Spider-Man noticed Eddie's skeleton floating at the center of his horrific form. The web-slinger jumped into Skinhead, purposely allowing himself to be engulfed, and punched the creature's skull. Skinhead was knocked unconscious and reverted to his normal form as Eddie Cross and Eddie was later arrested for multiple hate crimes and multiple assaults and for conspiracy to commit murder and for attempted bombing and for destruction of private property that didn't belong to him. [1]
Powers and Abilities

|Energy Projection
|Fighting Skills
After a laboratory accident, Cross can transform his body into a ten-foot diameter amoebae-like mass of flesh. He can thus withstand virtually any impact, ooze up vertical surfaces, and stretch pseudo-pods of his flesh. Cross also exudes corrosive bodily fluids, and can use his body to engulf and devour the flesh of his victims, leaving behind only a pile of bones.

MeetingSense User Roles
Users in your account differ based on the role you assign to them in the Admin console. These roles will determine their access to information in MeetingSense Pro. Your account can have any number of "Administrators (or Admins)", "Members", and "Guests", and any of these roles can also be a publisher. "Publishers" are paid users that can CREATE CONTENT. This means that only Publishers can do things like schedule and conduct Meetings, assign Action Items, and creating Projects. All users, even Guests, can add files and comment to any item/area they've directly been invited to participate in/on.
All of these users working together in different capacities on the platform, make up your organization's MeetingSense meeting ecosystem.
To Pay or Not to Pay – How You're Charged to Use MeetingSense Pro
The Publisher designation allows users to create content in your MeetingSense Pro ecosystem. These users can:
- Install and leverage MeetingSense integrated plugins (Microsoft Outlook)
- Schedule, conduct, and publish notes for meetings
- Assign action items
- Create MeetingSense Projects
- Add files to the system
- Collaborate with all other users
Publishers can be added in the Admin area, which is accessed from your user avatar in the top right-hand corner of your MeetingSense Dashboard. Only Account Admins can add/manage Publishers. All of the MeetingSense user types can be made a Publisher, as it is a separate designation that governs only the ability to create content in the system. When you designate a user as a Publisher, they become a paid MeetingSense user.
MeetingSense Pro User Roles
MeetingSense user types govern what users can see/access in your system. Each user type is given differing levels of access to content. From the highest – top 'Organization-level', to the lowest – access to only the individual objects in the system they've directly been invited to view. All user types in the system can comment on, and add files to, objects (meetings, action items, projects) they were invited to participate in.
MeetingSense Pro user types are:
Admins will administer your organization's MeetingSense Pro account from the top down. Admins do things like add/disable/manage all of the users in your account, Edit your account information (like your org name and custom URL), and create/edit your Teams (more on this below). You can have as many Admins as you like, and unless you also make these Admins Publishers, they are free users.
Members are given access to view/access your Organization's content from the top down. Members can be invited (by Publishers) to view/access/comment on Meetings, Action Items, Projects, Teams, and Files within your Dashboard. Member's viewership is determined by the Publishers in your system and the objects and areas (Teams and Projects) to which they are given access. Members cannot create content in the system or set their own access to objects they weren't invited to see. Like all user types, Members can be made Publishers as well, and would then also be able to create their own content. Members can only be invite into the system by Admins, from there Publishers determine what they see.
Guests have to be explicitly invited to view specific content in your system by Publishers. Guests can be internal employees or external contributors (contractors, partners, etc…) who don't need to create content in the system, but might need to complete an action item assigned to them by a Publisher, add a file to a meeting, or comment on a Project newsfeed. Guests can never see anything at the top Organizational level of your platform, only individual objects they've been invited to see. Guests can be added by an Admin and are automatically added to the system when a publisher invites the to a meeting, assigns them an action item, or invited them to a project. Using the Guest designation is a great way to empower cross-company, or even cross-team collaboration without having to give unnecessary or risky access to things they shouldn't be seeing. It also takes them 10 seconds to sign up for their own account and it's totally free to everyone.

Desexing or neutering your pet is a surgical procedure that prevents them from being able to reproduce. In male pets it is commonly referred to as "castration", and in female pets as "speying".This is the most frequent surgery performed by our vets, and generally your pet is home by the evening of surgery.
The most common age to desex (spey or castrate) your pet is between 4 and 6 months, however they are never too old to be desexed.
There are many benefits to desexing your pet before 6 months. They include:
Common questions about desexing
"Will desexing affect my pet's personality?"
Your pet will retain their pre-operation personality, possibly with the added bonus of being calmer and less aggressive.
"Should my female have one litter first?"
No – it is actually better for her not to have any litters before being spayed.Her risk of developing breast cancer increases if she is allowed to go through her first heat.
"Will it cause my pet to become fat?"
Your pet's metabolism may be slowed due to hormonal changes after desexing,however this is easily managed with adjusting feeding and ensuring adequate exercise. There is no reason a desexed pet cannot be maintained at a normal weight.
"Is desexing painful?"
As with all surgery, there is some tenderness immediately after the procedure, but most pets will recover very quickly. We administer pain relief prior to surgery and after surgery too.Your pet will be discharged with a short course of pain relief medication to take at home for the first few days after the surgery. In many cases, your pet will likely need some encouragement to take it easy!
How and when can I book my pet in for desexing? We can desex your sweet furbaby any day Monday through Friday.
Does my pet have to stay over night? Not at all, this is a day procedure so your little one will be cuddled up next to you on the couch that same evening.
What is covered in the cost? Your pet will undergo a full anaesthetic under the watchful and qualified eyes of our Surgical Team. The cost of this surgery includes -:
Before surgery:
After Surgery:
If you have any concerns before or after your pet has been desexed, please call us immediately to discuss. 3396 9733

NYC Subway Train Fills With Smoke After Track Fire
A subway operator in New York City heard a pop as smoke began to pour into a 7 line train near Grand Central Terminal at around 11:00 p.m. ET on Monday.
People began coughing and covering their eyes as the smoke-filled train sat for approximately 20 minutes before reversing back to Grand Central and opening its doors. The smoke reportedly came from a track fire, but the cause is unknown, and no injuries were reported.
But that doesn't mean people weren't scared. Below is a video from inside one of the train's cars, followed by photos.
