Flu season is just getting started
Make sure your family is protected. If you do get sick, seek medical attention for severe illness, and to find out if you need antiviral medication. For more information about cold and flu season please contact Yates County Public Health at 315-536-5160 or visit www.yatescountypublichealth.org.
Influenza is officially here. Yates County Public Health advises area residents to take steps to prevent sickness during flu season. Yates County has had 13 confirmed cases of flu reported in the first week of January. Over the last 2 weeks, provider offices have also reported increased levels of influenza-like illness and GI illness.
During winter and spring, illnesses such as the common cold, flu, and GI illness (nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea) are everywhere. Germs that usually cause mild symptoms in a healthy person can cause serious illness in infants and older adults. Take steps to protect those around you who may be at increased risk of serious illness.
Here are some tips for keeping your family healthy this flu season:
• Get your flu shot. Everyone 6 months of age or older should get a flu shot. Flu season can last into May or early June. It is not too late to get a flu shot for this season.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, and help young children to do the same.
• Wash your hands before and after preparing food. Avoid preparing food for others when you are sick.
• Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that people touch often, such as toys, phones, and door knobs.
• Keep your hands away from your face. Touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands can spread germs from items you touch causing illness.
• Avoid close contact, such as kissing and sharing cups or eating utensils with people who are sick. Bedding, towels, silverware, and dishes belonging to those who are sick should not be shared without washing thoroughly first.
• Stay home when sick.
• Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue. Wash your hands after blowing your nose.

I have always been a black and white kinda gal. Or, if I am going to be completely honest, I've always been a black and blacker kinda gal. In my world, you were friend or you were foe. You were with me or you were against me. Binary thinking? Oh, hell, yeah. I had it down cold. Choolie pointed out that many people with PTSD react that way because their warning system is broken. It makes sense. Once a person is attacked, that person will do anything she can not to be attacked again. So, any little threat is perceived as a big threat. I'm like my own personal Homeland Security color alert in action. Except, instead of always being at Level Boehner (Orange), I am constantly at Level OH MY FUCKING GOD I'M UNDER MOTHERFUCKING ATTACK.
Or, to be more precise, I was.
I had my therapy session Wednesday afternoon, and I was marveling at how much work my mom and I have done this summer. We have been able to talk honestly about past issues without either of us freaking out or fleeing. That led to me talking about how sad I was for the woman I used to be. She was so damaged and scared that she had to continually shrink her world in order to keep the perceived threats at manageable. And even then, her fear was overwhelming.
She never believed she had the right to live or that she had any positive impact on anyone or anything. She never imagined a future because she was too busy trying to think of a reason not to kill herself pretty much every day. She hated everything about herself and couldn't fathom that anyone could really love her. She figured her friends were just being nice to her when they stood by her. By the way, major shout-out to my long-term friends who have always accepted me as I was. It's in a large part thanks to you that I'm still here.
The past me. She thought she was scarred, damaged beyond repair, unlovable, ugly, grotesque, and for the most part, a monster. Her mantra was to first do no harm, but because she believed that she was a detriment to the world, it was impossible to follow her mantra. So, she did her best to minimize the toxins she was releasing into the world by doing as little as possible.
When I look at her world, it was so sterile and inert and void of color. She tried to make herself as little as possible so she wouldn't bother anyone. She watched everything she said, did, and even thought. She berated herself constantly for failing, failing, failing. When I look at her, my heart grows heavy. See, she was necessary in order for me to survive to this day. If it weren't for her shrinking my life, I most likely would have killed myself because of how unbearably terrifying I found the world. So, no matter how fucked up she was, no matter how damaged and scarred and broken she was, she fucking survived. Without her, I wouldn't be here.
Part of making life manageable was trusting very few people and only to very limited degrees. I have two friends who have been by my side for the last decade–Kiki and Natasha. Kiki and I have been best friends for sixteen years. Natasha has been my big sis for the last eleven years (or so). Beyond them, there were a few people I trusted a little, but that was pretty much it. I even kept Kiki and Natasha at an arm's length because I didn't want to negatively infuse them with my toxicity. Hey, I'm not saying it makes any sense. In retrospect, I know this is faulty thinking, but at the time, all I could think about was how unfit to live I was.
During the lost year, if you weren't completely for me, you were out. I couldn't tolerate any dissension from friends because I had no core to myself. Now, I realize that friendships come in all shapes, and one size does not fit all. I have expanded my inner circle a bit, and I have other circles, too. Different friendships supply me with different things, and this is perfectly fine. Especially with the advent of online friendships, the way I interact has substantively changed. I can have many different circles. Some friendships don't last a lifetime, and that's OK, too.
Recently, one of my FB friends, let's call her Lei, asked me to be in a performance with her. She's a musician, and she needed people to be exoskeletons. I said, sure, what the heck. I used to perform back in the day, and I took dance (tap, ballet, jazz) for twelve years when I was a kid. I could walk like an exoskeleton if I chose. Choolie was asked as well, along with her friend (call him Robert) who is really fun and cool and a couple (dubbed Stewart and Kendra for this blog's purposes) I'd never met before.
When we went over to Lei's house, she mentioned that she was thinking of renting out the top floor. Her house is really cool and in a great neighborhood of St. Paul. Then, I thought, I don't have to buy my own house–I can rent. It would give me more flexibility and less responsibility, and it would still be something other than living in my parents' house. Plus, it's close enough that I could go back to my parents' house with ease in order to take care of it.
This is one example of breaking the binary thinking. As my therapist pointed out, part of my 'buy my own house' was in reaction to living in my parents' house. It was a way of getting away from something, rather than truly choosing something else. In thinking about renting, I am breaking free from the either/or mentality (either I buy my own house or get stuck living in my parents' house), which gives me space to breathe.
Back to the rehearsal. I immediately felt at ease with the others. I was in my element around them. They were freaks, in the best sense of the world, and they were happy, functional freaks. We talked about what Lei wanted to do with the piece. She had a white scrim which she was going to cut up in strips and then drape them around us as we writhed on the floor. Since she didn't want to get them dirty, she decided to use other pieces of material during rehearsal (I chose black, of course). This was on a day it was near ninety, and she didn't have air. I was wearing a t-shirt, a sports bra, my South Park boxers, and panties because I didn't want to offend anyone. After the first practice, I had to take off my shirt. I had my hair up in a ponytail, and I was still sweating. At some point, I jokingly said that we should just do it naked. Stewart thought that was a great idea. Lei looked a little bemused. We started stripping. By the end of the night, the guys had gone the full Monty, and we women only had on our panties.
Here's the thing–it wasn't uncomfortable in the least. We made lots of sexual jokes (how could you not in that situation?), but it wasn't sexual in the least. It was sensual, but not sexual. I was near completely nude in front of people I had just met that evening, and I wasn't self-conscious at all. Now, anyone who's been in theatre knows that there isn't much room for modesty when everyone's changing in the green room together, but usually, you work up to that point after knowing your fellow actors for some time.
With this group, it was no biggie. I think it's because everyone there has done some kind of performing, and we are all freaks, so it was no big deal. I also liked to see Stewart and Kendra because it showed me that someone can be on the fringe, do performance, and still be in a happy relationship. Both of them are covered with tats, and she has body piercings. He is a performer and very gregarious. She is more down-to-earth and grounding, while not being traditional much at all. It gave me hope that maybe a freak like me can find someone who, while he may not be as much of a freak, can love me as I am and want to live a life on the fringe with me.
Then, the performance itself. As Lei played her keyboard, the five of us started curled up on the floor. When the music got more intense, we individually started to move. Lei wanted us to be as non-human as possible, and it was so freaking cool to do that kind of movement again. Lei's piece is really evocative, and it was pretty easy to writhe around on the floor in time to the music. I felt a freeness that I rarely feel. I stopped thinking and just grooved. Once in awhile, I would touch one of the other exoskeletons, and that would ground me. Plus, the piece is twenty minutes long (or, it will be), so my body got sore as I moved it in ways that contradicted my normal rigid posture.
I need to perform. That was made abundantly clear the first night of rehearsal. It was my first love, back when I was two, and I stifled it over the years. My therapist said it might have been because I felt if I were to do what I truly love, performing, then I would have to give up my family. In other words, either/or. As I mentioned in the last entry, my mom commented that I would be a good therapist and if I ever wanted to go back to grad school….She wants me to be stable and happy (as most parents do for their children) which means going down a more traditional road.
She literally cannot imagine a life like the one I may choose to live (or even the life I have lived). When I was in my late twenties, I mentioned going the server/acting route, and she and my father thoroughly trounced the idea. They said I had too much going for me to 'waste' it on being a waitress (class issues rear their ugly head!), and I was cowed into not even attempting to go down that road. It's the same with my bro. He wanted to go to architecture school, and my father shot down that idea. My brother mentioned it recently, and when I said he could still go, he said he was too old.
Anyway, performing is as essential as air to me. I need it as much as I need to breathe. I think my therapist's suggestion that I was afraid it would come at too great a cost is a good one, but there's an even more insidious reason I shied away from performing for so long….
It's not easy to say, but here goes. I never thought I would live past thirty. For many years, I didn't want to live past forty. For the lost fifteen years, I wasn't committed to this living thing. I had suicide in my back pocket as the last resort for all those years. I HATED being alive. The only reason I didn't kill myself because I was sure that whatever came after was even worse. I resented being alive with every fiber of my being, and I chastised myself for being such a pussy that I couldn't kill myself. That's why I did things like drive ninety-plus miles on the freeway in order to try to kill myself passively (so to speak). I am just thankful as hell I never caused an accident driving that way.
So. Since I wanted to die, but was too chicken to actually kill myself, it stands to reason that I wouldn't perform since performing is life to me. I love to write, as you can probably tell, but there is nothing, and I mean nothing like the high I get from being in front of a crowd and performing. Honestly, it's even better than sex, and y'all know that coming from me, that's saying a whole hell of a lot. When I have an audience in the palm of my hand, I feel like I can do anything. When I get an audience to howl with laughter because of something I wrote, there's nothing better. And, when I have people tell me afterwards how they thought no one had ever felt the way they had, well, that really does my heart good. I basically wrote performances that I would have liked to see myself, and while it may not be everyone's cuppa, it definitely reached a minority population that rarely gets to hear its story told in public.
I felt powerful when I performed. My voice was being heard, damn it, and people responded to what I had to say.
Choosing performance is choosing life. I cannot live without it, and it scares the fuck out of me to say that. Why? Because what if I fail at it? What if I get panned? What if I fuck up and totally screw up a show? What if what if what if? I resisted taking antidepressants for the third time for a very long time because I was terrified it would fail again. I haven't called the sleep study clinic for the same reason–I hate using my last resort. So, it's a similar feeling with performing. It's my last resort to live a life that I am meant to live.
In the past two years, I have done many things I never thought I would do or that I was even capable of doing. This hasn't happened because I have forced myself to be more open or anything like that–it's been very organic. I didn't say, "Hey, dumbass, you really should be more open to the idea of meeting new people." Or, "Hey, shit-for-brains, did you ever think that you could do–" Oh, wait. The thing about grad school for psych. I thought about combining grad school for psych with a life of performing, and I realized it would be very difficult to do. I also thought about what I would have to do if I became a therapist, like shut down this blog, and I decided it's not the path I wanted to take at this time. However, I also realized that it was possible to be both an outre performer and a therapist at the same time, but it would be difficult.
In the past, I had to control everything (or at least pretend that I could control everything) because I was so afraid of what bad thing might/could/would happen to me. I was so fucking fragile, that any minor hit could have put me out of the game for months. In the past, I had to stick to a very rigid schedule in order not to rock my precarious equilibrium. I had no substance, so I tried to create it with external markers.
In my therapy session, I had tears in my eyes when I talked about how sad I felt for the woman I used to be. She was so scarred and damaged and broken, it took all of her energy just to get out of bed each….day (not usually morning). She was numb throughout the day, cringing at the slightest deviation from her sad and solitary routine. She was one of the walking dead, and she barely existed.
She's not that far away from me. I know all-too-well how easy it is for me to slip back into that place. I did it while I was in Taiwan–which, by the way, my therapist noted was the breaking point for me. However awful the trip was, it put the last nail in the coffin of the illusion of a functional family. I tried so fucking hard to be good, to act the right way, etc., and I just couldn't do it. Because, the old way was a broken way, and I no longer fit in that skin any longer–and I can feel the breathing of the demons just outside my door.
I am not that woman any longer. I have a sense of self-worth, and I have a sense of, well, self. I have love in my life, and I am able to feel that love. I can acknowledge some of my good points beyond my brain and my writing ability (the two things I've always acknowledged), and I can actually say there are moments when I am content.
This would be heresy to the woman I was. She still cringes a bit when I talk about my positive side. I am wary because I feel as if this newfound self can fall apart at any minute. I mean, I was that other woman for so much of my life; I've been this woman for a relatively short amount of time. How do I trust that I won't fall back into the abyss?
I can't say for sure I won't, but I'm not going to dwell on it. I have other things I need to do.

Not me!!
Do you ever read My Charming Kids? If not, you should pop over sometime...it is very entertaining. On Mondays, she hosts "Not Me Monday."
So here goes my first Not Me Monday!
I most certainty did not forget to pack swim diapers for Julianne last week. I did not let my Ethiopian princess swim in a regular diaper while in Florida. I would never make that sweet baby crawl around with a HUGE bubble butt and I absolutely did not laugh and take pictures :o)
Along the lines of packing...I did not pack Sophie Le five bathing suits and Hillary Ashton only one for the week. I am way too organized for that! And I would never consider the girls' swim in the pool after their swim in the ocean a bath :o) Of course, I bathed my babies every night before bed!
I also did not tell Hillary Ashton she could go climb in Julianne's crib yesterday afternoon when she woke up from her nap early. I did not tell her to entertain her sister for ten minutes while I finished watching an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. I would never do that!
I did not choose to go the beach the same week as my baby started kindergarten! I would never let her miss the first day of school!
I also would never let Sophie Le feed Julianne supper so we could laugh at what a huge mess those two babies made. Nope, not me!
I most certainly did not give Julianne cookies before supper tonight so she would agree to sit in her walker. I would never let my girls have dessert before supper! Goodness, what kind of mom do you think I am?
Whew, I feel better. I am so glad I didn't do any of those things!
Want to join in the fun? Click over to www.mycharmingkids.net Have fun!

Perhaps the scariest thing about this article – and doing the research for it – is that it was hard to determine which five surfaces qualified as the germiest. That's because we're constantly surrounded by dozens (and I am being conservative on this estimate) of extremely germy surfaces and items that could vie for this top five list.
In fact, reports of the levels of germs on surfaces in public places varies considerably, and the spectrum of figures depends at least in part on where the study was done. Testing has focused on the dirtiest surfaces in workplaces, schools, homes, hospitals, and everyday items in general. Frankly, the results of all the studies significantly raised my awareness of just how germy our world can be.
But forewarned is forearmed, and we hope the following information will set your radar in motion and trigger you and your family to take steps to protect against the hordes of germs literally at your fingertips by thoroughly washing your hands with soap and water after touching these surfaces.
Here are the top five germiest surfaces (and several runner-ups). Even if you don't agree with the order of the list (and it is open for interpretation), what's a few million bacteria one way or the other?
1. Grocery cart handles.
According to University of Arizona microbiologist Charles Gerba, PhD, about 70 to 80 percent of grocery carts tested across the country were contaminated with E. coli, which are bacteria associated with serious diarrhea and stomach cramps. Yet there can be much on those cart handles, including other disease-causing bacteria and viruses from children's dirty hands and diapers, as well as microorganisms from leaky meat, poultry, and fish packaging. Gerba is well known for his numerous studies of contamination with germs in public places.
2. Gas pump handles.
You may want to don gloves before gassing up. According to results of a test conducted by Kimberly-Clark Professional by trained hygienists in six major U.S. cities, 71 percent of gas pump handles tested revealed high levels of contamination. This determination was based on a reading of 300 or higher of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a substance found in all animal, vegetable, yeast, mold, and bacteria cells. ATP levels are the standard by which hygienists measure contamination, and readings greater than 300 are deemed to carry a high risk of infection.
3. Mailbox handles.
This choice also comes from the Kimberly-Clark study, which stated that 68 percent of handles on mailboxes exceeded the 300 limit.
4. Escalator rails.
When you think about it, escalators are everywhere: malls, airports, train stations, department stores; basically, areas where literally millions of people can unknowingly share their germs. The Kimberly-Clark study found 43 percent of escalator rails were highly contaminated.
5. ATM machine buttons.
You've likely heard the term "dirty money," but this gives a whole new meaning to the phrase. Several studies have identified the ATM machine buttons as harbors for germs, including one done in the United Kingdom.
Microbiologist Dr. Richard Hastings reported on the findings of a comparison of bacteria levels on ATM machines and public toilets, pointing out that "the ATM machines were shown to be heavily contaminated with bacteria, to the same level as nearby public toilets." The Kimberly-Clark study placed a figure of 41 percent on the number of contaminated ATM buttons in its study.
And now for the runner-ups.
Runner-up no. 1 is a combination of surfaces in hotels rooms. According to a study conducted by Jay Neal, PhD, assistant professor at the Conrad N. Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management, University of Houston, the germiest surfaces in hotel accommodations are the toilet, bathroom floor, and bathroom sink. These results, which were presented at the June 2012 General Meeting of the American Society for Microbiology, also included the main light switch.
For parents of young children, runner-up no. 2 may be of interest. A study published in the Journal of School Nursing reported on the presence of bacteria and viruses on common classroom contact surfaces. At the top of the list of surfaces contaminated with bacteria were water fountain toggles, pencil sharpeners, and keyboards, while most viruses were found on desktops, faucet handles, and paper towel dispensers.
Don't let the germiest surfaces in your world get the best of you. Be aware, wash your hands with soap and water often (especially after touching these and other contaminated surfaces), try to keep your hands away from your eyes and face, and keep a supply of hand sanitizer handy: those that contain 60% alcohol are recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but you may want to opt for alcohol-free versions that provide plant-based protection from ingredients such as lavender or thyme essential oils.

Job: chief executive, Ofcom
Age: 43
Industry: regulation
Staff: 817
Salary: £392,056 (including benefits and pension entitlement)
2008 ranking: 8
As well as handing out a record number of fines last year, Ed Richards, the chief executive of media regulator Ofcom, is one of the key architects of Britain's media landscape in the digital era. And unlike the former culture secretary Andy Burnham and communications minister Lord Carter, Richards will still be around to implement the findings of the government's Digital Britain report.
The structural challenges of the switch to a digital world have been compounded by the cyclical downturn of the recession. Much of Richards's job has been to investigate how to preserve the jewels of the current analogue environment – a securely funded Channel 4, commercially funded regional TV news, radio accessible to all – while embracing the advantages of the digital era.
As well as mapping out the future, Richards is also here to regulate the present, and last year the watchdog fined broadcasters a record total of nearly £7.83m for breaches of its broadcasting code, including a £5.68m penalty imposed on ITV over phone-in irregularities on shows such as Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway.
The regulator also fined the BBC a record £150,000 over the "Sachsgate" row earlier this year, describing the messages left by Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand on actor Andrew Sachs's answering machine, broadcast on Brand's Radio 2 show, as "gratuitously offensive, humiliating and demeaning".
The regulator faces the prospect of being dramatically scaled back under a future Conservative government after Tory leader David Cameron said he would cut its responsibilities by a "huge amount" as part of a plan to cut public spending on quangos.
"With a Conservative government, Ofcom as we know it will cease to exist," said Cameron. "Its remit will be restricted to its narrow technical and enforcement roles. It will no longer play a role in making policy. And the policy-making functions it has today will be transferred back fully to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport."
If the first half of 2008 was all about the phone-in scandal fallout, and 2007 the race row on Celebrity Big Brother, then for Richards much of the last 12 months has been focused on the issue of public service broadcasting (PSB) in the digital era.
"The central question is how a historically successful public service broadcasting system can navigate to a new digital model. We need to sustain the quality and creative spirit of our approach to broadcasting while capturing the opportunities of broadband, mobility and interactivity," said Richards on the eve of publication of the regulator's long-awaited second review of PSB.
"Putting this together will be a complex task. It is, some will say, only TV. But it is more than that. It is about the UK's ability to create the content that will drive adoption of the digital networks of the future. It is about the UK maintaining a leading position as a creative economy. And it is about our country's culture and identities. It is now up to the politicians and broadcasters to respond before the opportunity slips away."
Richards rejected top-slicing the BBC's licence fee but said surplus funds from the digital switchover programme could be used to invest in alternative public service content or boost broadband. He warned that commercially funded regional TV news would wither without radical action, and the regulator's proposal for independent news consortia to replace ITV's regional news service from 2012 was backed by Digital Britain.
But Ofcom's backing for a tie-up with the BBC's commercial arm, BBC Worldwide, to help solve the future funding deficit of Channel 4 put Richards on a collision course with Sir Michael Lyons, the chairman of the BBC Trust.
Richards also warned against setting a "meaningless" switch-off date for analogue radio that was "plucked out of the air" before the industry was ready for it.
Ofcom's former number two, Richards succeeded Stephen Carter in the top job in 2006. A quintessential New Labour man – the former BBC director general Greg Dyke famously referred to him as a "jumped-up Millbank oik" – Richards has worked for both Gordon Brown and Tony Blair. As a media adviser to No 10, he helped draft the communications act that brought Ofcom into being.
But if Richards is the "last man standing" following Burnham's switch from the culture ministry and Carter's exit from government, then for how much longer?
"Given that Richards's background is rooted in New Labour and that his recent past has been spent wrangling the profoundly ungrateful broadcast sector into some kind of order, it would also be understandable if he too headed off for a different post," wrote the Guardian's Emily Bell. "Or indeed was redirected there by the Tories." Who may abolish his employer – David Cameron, the Conservative leader, last week said that Ofcom would be the first quango to be abolished. "With a Conservative government, Ofcom as we know it will cease to exist."

Chromebooks Redefine Learning in the Classroom. Instruktioner Google Classroom. Here's the master list of Chromebooks that will get Android apps, straight from Google itself. One of the most exciting advances in the Chromebook world was Google's announcement that certain Chrome OS devices would support Android apps.
Google first started experimenting with Android apps on Chromebooks in 2014, but fully brought the Google Play Store to certain models in summer 2016. At the time, Google released a master list of Chrome devices that would eventually get crossover support. However, as reported by SlashGear, Google has since updated the list of Chrome OS devices that will be eligible to support the Google Play Store, adding the current status for each device.

Chromebooks are becoming the go-to computing device for K–12 schools, as officials are increasingly drawn to the platform's low price, ease of use, ease of maintenance and high functionality.
Getting maximum return on their investment, however, often turns out to be a harder equation. "Everybody always has a top-level plan that says, 'Computers are good, so let's go get the computers,'" says Elliot Soloway, co-founder of the Center for Highly Interactive Computing in Education and a professor of computer science at the University of Michigan.
"But they've really got to go a lot deeper to say, 'What do we really want to do with these devices, and what specific curriculum are we going to give teachers to make sure that they get the results we want?' " In fact, a number of schools have learned the hard way that it's tempting, easy and potentially disastrous to put Chromebooks in the hands of students before their administration, teachers and tech teams are ready. 1. 2. 3.

Writing in the correct point of view (POV) can make the difference between writing a blockbuster story and a complete dud.
That's because the POV you choose will determine how your reader relates to your story and characters. Reading a book with POV issues compared to a book with perfect POV is like watching a movie on your phone with one earbud that doesn't work versus watching the same movie on an IMAX screen with Dolby surround-sound.
Defining Point of View
In writing, the idea of point of view (POV) describes the narrator's position in relation to the events and action of the story.
It comes down to a matter of perspective for your narrator. Similarly to how, in a debate or argument, somebody's point of view can tell you how close they are to the subject of debate, in writing, the POV determines how close your narrator is to your story's action.
Let's break it down some…
1. First Person Point of View
Also called simply "first person," this is when the narrator is a character directly involved in the story, and relates his or her experience directly to the audience. A first-person narrator will use lots of "I" statements: "I cried," "I died," "I lied," etc.
Consider Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl as a great example of first-person fiction.
2. Second Person Point of View
Second person perspective describes when a story is told directly to "you": either the reader or a stand-in character somehow connected to the story. This POV is rare in fiction, but it does crop up from time to time, and it is common in nonfiction—especially in self-help books.
Second person POV is also common in blog writing because it helps you connect with your reader on a deeper level.
3. Third Person Point of View (Limited)
Here, the story is about a singular "he" or "she." This is the most common POV in all of commercial fiction. The narrator is unnamed and anonymous, relegated to merely relating the experiences (and some of the thoughts) of the main character.
J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter books are a great example of fiction written in this style.
4. Third Person Point of View (Multiple Characters)
Like limited third-person POV, this falls under the "he/she/it" category, but now the narrator follows more than one character throughout the story, switching perspectives to give readers a wider scope of the narrative. The challenge with using this kind of POV is ensuring that your readers know whose perspective you are following at all times.
Make the changeover obvious with chapter or section breaks that include the character's name so readers know immediately whose POV they're in as soon as that scene or chapter starts.
George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series is written in this style.
5. Third Person Point of View (Omniscient)
The story is about a "he," a "she," or sometimes even a collective "they," but the narrator has full access to the thoughts and experiences of all the characters that appear in the story.
This POV is uncommon and difficult to pull off successfully, but can be effective in creating cinematic scope in particularly grandiose stories.
How to Pick the Right POV
If you're not sure what kind of POV to use in your writing, consider these tips for picking the right POV.
If you're writing commercial fiction, or writing a novel that you plan to publish, you should probably pick first person POV or third person limited POV. That's because these are the two most common POV styles used in commercial fiction, they're the easiest and most natural to learn, and it's a lot harder to mess things up when you use one of these points of view in your writing.
If you're writing your first novel or first story, I highly recommend writing in either first or third person POV because you'll find it so much easier and faster to learn to use these POVs well in your writing.

Zdravetz essential oil (Geranium macrorrhizum) is an excellent oil that has been little explored, partly because of its somewhat restricted availability and partly because of its relatively high cost.
It is light yellow to pale olive solid waxy mass, with a sweet, woody, herbaceous aroma and subtle floral notes. It is an oil possessing excellent fixative properties and it blends well with a wide range of materials-both excellent virtues for folks engaged in natural perfumery.

Today Truck & Trailer delves deeper into what a wheel loader and excavator are, as well as the different types available on the market today. Whether you are in the market for wheel loaders or an excavator for sale, this is most definitely for you.
More about the Excavator and Wheel Loader
An excavator is a machine used to dig up soil and rocks from the earth in large scale projects. They are best suited to heavy lifting, digging trenches and moving piles of debris from the site. They help improve productivity and efficiency by allowing for the large-scale movement of soil, rock and rubble.
You'll find excavators across a range of industries and constructions jobs, as they can be used in many ways and situations. This means they are commonly used for road works, residential building as well as at construction sites; they can also be used in mines and much more.
In the market for an excavator? We have compared these formidable machines with wheel loaders to see which is best suited to various needs and when is the best time to use each.
As for a wheel loader, it is a type of tractor, which is usually wheeled and this is how the equipment gets its name. Wheel loaders are used to scoop, dig and remove rubble, rocks, gravel and soil from one part of the site to another or to load various materials needed for the site. They can also be used to transport the material to another machine.
They are commonly used for loading materials, to clearing rubble, digging and loading materials onto different trucks. They allow for precise and accurate handling of materials and make loading jobs easier and more efficient.
While similar to excavators, wheel loaders have certain unique features that make it ideal for certain jobs. These features include having rear and front axles that can bear vast amounts of weight, making it ideal for use with heavy materials.
As such, you'll find wheel loaders in a wide range of industries and on a host of different sites. They can be found in construction, landscaping, mining or forestry.
Both the excavator and the wheel loader for sale have a range of benefits and scenarios in which they make the ideal piece of equipment.
Types of Excavators
As an excavator is used for digging, it has a host of features that provide maximum benefits, and help with mobility and movement. These features include hydraulic cylinders, an undercarriage, a boom and a bucket for digging.
The various features are operated from a cab, which is used to control and direct the movement and action of the excavator. From drilling, lifting to digging; it can all be accurately controlled, which makes for optimum digging performance.
If you are in the market for an excavator for sale, you will find that there are a range of types to choose from, including large, medium and small excavators. You'll also find frontless excavators and mini ones. Each has its unique uses and is needed for different jobs.
Large Excavators
Large excavators range from about 35 – 90 metric tons and are useful for digging, heavy lifting and moving large amounts of earth and debris around.
Medium Excavators
Medium excavators range from about 20 – 40 metric tons and can be used in a range of situations. They are useful for a medium size project and for lifting, digging and moving debris and earth, while remaining easy to manoeuvre.
Small Excavators
Small excavators range from about 10 – 20 metric tons and are useful for smaller jobs, utility applications and in certain cases where medium and large excavators may not have range to manoeuvre.
Mini Excavators
Mini excavators are useful for getting into places that the larger ones can't. They range from about 1 – 15 metric tons and are ideal for small job sites and lighter loads, with versatility and easy manoeuvrability being key.
Though the wheel loader and the excavator for sale have certain similarities, each are key to different jobs on various sites.
Types of Wheel Loaders
As with excavators, there are many kinds of wheel loaders on the market. Each type of wheel loader for sale works differently and is needed and used for different jobs.
You'll find a range of large wheel loaders, medium wheel loaders, compact wheel loaders and small wheel loaders on the market.
Large Wheel Loaders
Large wheel loaders are ideal for use in construction and offer industrial capabilities. They range in weight from around 40 00kg – 50 000kg and have a bucket capacity that can range from 6 metres to around 12 metres depending on the loader.
Medium Wheel Loaders
Medium Wheel Loaders are best suited to medium job sites and are reliable, versatile and can be used for a range of jobs, from transport to digging.
They range in weight from around 1800kg – 20 000kg and have a bucket capacity that can range from 2.5 metres to around 9 metres depending on the wheel loader and the job it's required for.
Compact Wheel Loaders
Compact Wheel Loaders offer precision in smaller jobs and can be used in many ways and on small various sites.
They range in weight from around 5000kg – 6000kg with a bucket capacity that is around 1 metre, and are ideal for small-scale sites.
Small Wheel Loaders
Small Wheel Loaders are ideal for smaller sites and spaces, as well as certain digging and lifting jobs.
They range in weight from 1200kg – 1600kg and have a bucket capacity that can range from 2.5 metres to 5 metres, making it useful for small sites.
Large Wheel Loaders
Large wheel loaders are key in heavy-duty jobs while the smaller wheel loaders can be used on smaller sites and on various jobs, as they are extremely versatile. If that's not enough, you can also attach a range of tools to smaller wheel loaders to help with a host of jobs, from transport to landscaping.
The various types of wheel loaders can be used for sand and gravel removal, waste handling, tunnelling and handling of various construction sites or farming materials.
Differences between Excavators and Wheel Loaders
There is a range of differences between an excavators and wheel loaders and each is used for certain jobs requiring certain output.
Both excavators and wheel loaders can be used for small, medium and large jobs across the construction and agricultural industry. The heavy-duty machines improve overall project productivity and can handle a tough terrain and conditions, to provide the best digging and lifting results.
Both excavators and wheel loaders are ideal to dig, lift and move debris, while each is best for certain situations and sites.
In terms of functionality, the use of wheels or tracks is a distinctive difference between a wheel loader for sale and an excavator. However, both experience similar wear and tear though and have varying costs to replace either the track or wheels.
Wheel loaders are designed with wide buckets, which reduces the breakout force, while excavators aren't built that way and can in turn take on more bucket loads and dig and load heavier materials.
While mobile and flexible, wheel loaders aren't as flexible as excavators due to their build, making it harder for them to manoeuvre at certain sites. Excavators are more flexible and have a wider range of movement.
For certain heavy tasks, excavators are the ideal option. However, wheel loaders are extremely useful for a host of jobs and sites and can have certain benefits that excavators don't have.
Interested in buying either a wheel loader or excavator for sale? You will find a range of high quality machinery for sale on Truck & Trailer. Browse the site and find the perfect machine for all your construction needs.

It was an informal meeting over a cup of tea and after trading comments on the Irish weather, we moved on to discussing climate and its impact on people in their countries.
Gertrude Kenyangi is from Uganda and works with SWAGEN, an organisation committed to creating strong grassroots women's groups that can actively participate in national development.
I asked Gertrude about climate change in Uganda.
"Climate change is already bringing disaster in my area", she said, noting that droughts are increasing, floods are occurring where there was never floods before, traditional crops can no longer be grown in many areas and the incidence of diseases such as malaria is increasing. "When help from the outside is not available, what are we going to do?"
Gertrude said that not enough is being done by global leaders on climate change. "We have one world and we are all citizens of that world", she said. "Climate change is a justice issue because the most vulnerable are the most affected and the most affected are women".
She spoke about the importance of participation and how some development programmes are "well-intentioned but erroneously conceived" when they don't involve the people most affected beyond token consultation.
Rachael Raykumari works for Women's Organisation in Rural Development (WORD), an organisation working with indigenous people in the state of Orissa. The people in her area are heavily dependent on forests and non-timber forest products but she reports that, due to climate change and poverty, 60% of the forests in the region have now been destroyed. Deforestation and the commercialisation of land has affected livelihoods.
"Food insecurity is the main problem", she said, noting that twenty years ago, the region would have eight or nine months of rain whereas now the region is more likely to have three or four months of precipitation.
"Because people are depending entirely on the rains, this is a big issue for agriculture", she said. She reported that in some cases, people are migrating to other states and this movement of people is also affecting the spread of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.
Rachael said that her country must take the proper measures to reduce emissions, through strategies at a state, national and district level. She also said that the whole world has to look at consumption patterns which are leading to these issues, not just food consumption but also the impacts of lifestyle choices in developed countries.
"Our ancestors gave us this world and we are taking a credit card from our grandchildren. Each country is fighting for our own and we need to all work together". This, Rachael said, requires listening to both the north and the south, noting that it is very difficult for individual organisations to address global issues without getting trampled on. "This is why civil society movements are so important, so that people can claim their rights".
I asked Gertrude if she has hope for a better future. "We at the grassroots have the will and where there is a will, there is a way". Her positive response is a reminder of the importance of active grassroots involvement for the action required to realise climate justice.
Despite the frustrating realisation that much of what these women said has been said over and over again, without the requisite action, I left the meeting in an upbeat mood, encouraged by the dynamism and determination of two women committed to changing things for the better.
"Real revolutions are led by grassroots" Gertrude said.
If more people like Gertrude and Rachael band together, they will be a force to be reckoned with.

Rosa's New Mexican Table
by Roberto Santibañez
Artisan, 278 pp., $35When Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef Roberto Santibañez took over the kitchen at Austin's landmark Fonda San Miguel restaurant several years back, the established clientele was initially wary of the innovative dishes he created to supplement the traditional Interior Mexican menu. Before long, however, both the charming man and his subtle, sophisticated culinary stylings won the crowd over completely. Santibañez is now culinary director of the Rosa Mexicano family of restaurants, assisting them in nationwide expansion. Rosa's New Mexican Table is his new cookbook, showcasing dishes that are popular in the restaurants, as well as many of his own creations.
Santibañez is a proponent of the nueva cocina movement in Mexican cuisine that utilizes contemporary ingredients and new techniques in the evolution of classic Mexican dishes. He's likely to produce moles with prunes, sauces with dill, and steaks with Roquefort cheese, all with delicious results. The chef does provide good basic information necessary to create the flavorful building blocks of classic Mexican cuisine, describing those recipes as los indispensables.
Sampling dishes from the chapter on starters, I was particularly impressed with the Garlicky Shrimp and Mushrooms spiked with fiery chile de árbol and the delicate Crab Empanadas in a red masa dough. The restaurant's signature guacamole that derives its layers of flavor from a distinctive chile paste made in a molcajete is very appealing. In the entrée section, Santibañez includes his own versions of such historic traditional Mexican dishes as Cochinita Pibil and red snapper Veracruz-style right alongside Seared Duck Breast in Prune-Pecan Mole. The unconventional Mexican Club Sandwich features the indispensable Adobo Marinated Chicken, ham, bacon, avocado, and queso Chihuahua on ciabatta rolls. The sandwich is a tasty fusion masterpiece, as is the sophisticated Rosa's Cobb Salad, utilizing the same chicken, pungent Spanish Cabrales cheese, and chile-spiked croutons in an avocado-dill dressing.
Oddly enough, the attractive book does not evoke much of a sense of the Rosa Mexicano restaurants themselves, but Santibañez's food makes a clear statement. This is not your abuela's Mexican food. The recipes in Rosa's New Mexican Table are innovative, approachable, and delightful, much like Santibañez himself.

Investment flows into Asian bonds turn fitful; Malaysia vulnerable
[SINGAPORE] Foreign demand for Asia's local currency bonds was patchy in August, showing signs of reversal in some markets as investors worried whether global monetary easing will continue and about broadly rising long-term yields if it does not.
Foreign investors further increased their holdings of markets such as Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries, continuing to seek their high yields and promise of capital gains.
Yet, the shifting in the global sentiment over the past few weeks has had an impact as concerns grew that top central banks may not have additional measures to support economies after a slew of unconventional steps like negative interest rates and money printing.
Worries that the Bank of Japan may lead the way by forcing longer term yields up, and therefore steepening yield curves, also weighed on emerging market bonds.
"The global steepening of bond yields has caused people to reconsider the carry trades that were being put on earlier," said Mirza Baig, head of currency and rates research for emerging Asia at BNP Paribas in Singapore.
Your feedback is important to us
Tell us what you think. Email us at email@example.com
"We've had a very solid run for the last four months if you look at any measure of emerging market bond performance," Ms Baig said, adding that the selloff therefore appeared to be driven by profit-taking.
Most emerging Asian bonds have been slumping since the European Central Bank on Sept 8 provided few hints about future stimulus.
The Federal Reserve is expected to hold interest rates this week, but the US central bank is likely to tighten this year. There is no consensus inside the BOJ on whether to deepen negative rates at the Sept 20-21 meeting, sources said.
Malaysia's five-year government bond yield rose to 3.285 per cent on Monday, its highest since July 5.
Saktiandi Supaat, Maybank's head of FX research, said Malaysian bonds will see intermittent outflows although demand among long-term investors remains strong.
"The inflows have been significant and domestic factors such as weak economic data and commodities cycle can play a role," Singapore-based Mr Saktiandi said.
Malaysia was a hot spot in emerging Asia bond markets. Last month, it enjoyed RM6.0 billion (S$2.01 billion) of bond inflows, the largest since April.
That came as US investment bank JPMorgan decided to include dollar-denominated Islamic bonds (sukuk) from Malaysia, Turkey and Indonesia in its emerging markets indices starting from Oct 31.
Foreign holdings in Malaysian bonds and bills, excluding sukuk, stood around 55 per cent of total outstanding in the second quarter, increasing risks of more profit-taking.
The recent slide in crude prices is also likely to undermine the country's oil and gas revenue, hurting sentiment.
South Korea is seen as another victim, with expectations for further rate cuts weakening. Last month, foreign investors cut their holdings of its bonds by 917 billion won (S$1.12 billion), although offshore funds are net buyers so far this month.
The Bank of Korea on Sept 9 kept its policy interest rate unchanged at the record low of 1.25 per cent amid caution over surging household debts.
"Until the household debt issue is solved, the BOK is unlikely to move," said Shin Dong-su, a fixed-income analyst at Eugene Investment & Securities in Seoul.
"It is unlikely to extend duration here. Any rise in yield is not a chance to buy on dips given growing risks of losses."
By contrast, Indonesian bonds continued to lure foreign investors as the country's central bank indicated further easing.
Foreigners increased Indonesian bond holdings by 7.1 trillion rupiah (S$730 million) in the first 14 days of September after adding 9.1 trillion rupiah in August.
"Inflation has fallen below the central bank's target, this has increased the likelihood of further monetary easing," said Wan Howe Chung, global asset manager Amundi's head of Asian fixed income.
"While positioning of investors is relatively heavy, we expect supply and fiscal stance in Indonesia to be stable and expect Indonesia government bonds to be well supported by both domestic and offshore market participants," he said.

After literally overflowing hundreds of reviews and consumer reports for several vacuum devices, we finally bought a bullet and bought the NV105.
The shark does not do itself any good with the intricate name / numbering system for its vacuum, which is a shame, because it can prevent people from buying a big vacuum.
- That's easy, very. He maneuvers quite easily. He also pulls himself forward – be prepared when you first turn it on.
- I regret that I did not take the photo before and after my carpet. It sounds damp, I know. Our carpeting is only a few years old. I did not realize how much "life" was lost. This small vacuum worth 99 dollars pulled out more dirt and dust, even wiped the furniture grooves that we thought were permanent, and made the carpet look and feel completely new; All with two quick passes through the territory. Seriously, there was no evacuation of OCD.
- It is easy to snap each other for a "quick start". The manual has a section "quick start".
- I read complaints about the fact that the dust collector is too small. All I can offer is: 1) If you want a light vacuum, a small key. This is a compromise. Vacuum cleaners are not magical. 2) Emptying the container is incredibly easy and fast, so I have to confuse my head in confusion as to why this is a problem. 3) In addition, he is not a little tiny.
- He has a smaller width of the head, but: it does not take practically no storage space. It has such good absorption that even if you quickly evacuate, which is easy, because it is so light, you will still be cleaning the same area better than most vacuum cleaners in the same time.
- The vacuum control has a through window so you can see the bar. This is more "plus" than you could automatically consider, especially if you have long hair. Hair will be tangled around any bar. Vacuum cleaners are not magical. Please do not blame the vacuum in this. Being able to see when it was time to quickly cut off the hair was more useful than I thought.
"Another common complaint I've read is that" the vacuum is too easy to end, and when you try to use tools attached to a hose, it's very annoying."
Well, I can not disagree with the fact that he easily manages. It is a VERY light vacuum. For my needs, this was not a problem.
I can hold one hand on top of a vacuum or clean the vacuum against something, if I pull at all on the hose. It is much more important for me to have a vacuum that is easy enough for me to use it regularly. This is a compromise. The one I'm happy to do.
- The button to go to hard floor is easily accessible, like the power button.
I'm sorry that I sounded like a commercial.
The tools on my particular vacuum can be a little difficult to turn on and off. Hoping that they relaxed a bit.To summarize, this is a vacuum worth 99 dollars, which makes me feel like I'm using a vacuum of 200-200 dollars. It's so light and easy to use that I often evacuate. We are satisfied with the customers.
Over the years, I bought MANY vacuum cleaners, and this light weight from Shark is my favorite all the time. It has a large absorption;
The beater bar can be turned off so you can clean the bare floors; applications are in the very vacuum; the cord is very long; and, most importantly, it is very LIGHT!
I clean the house for life, and this little machine is perfect for my needs! The dirt canister is a decent size, and you can detach the handle to reach a high (for a web, etc.).
Like I said, I spent more money than I remember trying to buy vacuum cleaners, and now that I've found this, I will never buy any other type. I recommend it!

Looking for the piano from simpleshoppinglink.com
Moderators: Feg, Gill the Piano
Looking for the piano from simpleshoppinglink.com
Knowing very little about pianos myself, what should I be looking for in purchasing a digital piano? At the moment she is very much a beginner, but I wouldn't want to purchase something that will limit her too soon.
Some specific questions:
How important is the number of keys?
What should I look for in the keys to get a good real piano feel?
What else should I look out for? Is there any reason to strongly oppose a digital piano?

Re: Looking for the piano from simpleshoppinglink.com
If you want a real piano, then it might be prudent to rent one first - a lot of shops will rent them to you and knock off what you've already paid from the price should you decide to buy. You can get free pianos on Freecycle, but do take and experienced player or - preferably - a tuner with you to give it the once over. There are bargains out there!

Figure of Speech
Figure of speech (also called trope) - the expressive use of language in which words are used in other ways than their literal senses so as to suggest and produce pictures or images in a reader or hearer's mind, bypassing logic and appealing directly to the imagination in order to give particular emphasis to an idea or sentiment. There are three classes:
