I have a rule: If I think something nice about someone, I tell them.
Like so many, I dealt with a whole lot of insecurity when I was younger, and when these issues would really rear their heads, when I felt just pointlessly unworthy – I'd try to remember the nice things that people had said to me, or about me. These kind words were gold. Their expressed views of me made me hope that I could look at myself in a similar way. And eventually, I did.
So now when a nice thought arises about someone, I express it.
Lovely sentiment, eh? But the truth is that people often think it's pretty weird, or they seem to anyways – that's what I take from unanswered Facebook messages and awkward giggles. A lot of people probably think I want them, even though I'm not talking about those kind of compliments and I've never been shy about my crushes. If I want you, we most likely either hooked up or you rejected me. (Or, you are a fictional character. Here's looking at you, Dale Cooper.)
I think it's just the way we're wired. It's evolutionarily wise to think everyone wants you, misplaced confidence has led to many babies indeed. Plus, it's not "normal" to reach out to someone from decades ago just to say something nice, or to send them something that made you think of them. People assume there must be another motivation, and I bet that's a pretty easy one to jump to.
But I don't care. It's a weird fucking world we've got here, and I want to help make it kinder. More enjoyable. More honest. It shouldn't be weird to say nice things to people, even when it's random. That should be normal. It should be considered weird to think kind words but to keep them to yourself just because you feel kinda scared. (Of what, right? Thoughts?)
I once read about an African tribe that had a beautiful way of dealing with their criminals. When someone's wronged another, the tribe circles around them and they share all of their beautiful thoughts about the mistake-maker. They share all the good they've done, point to their potential, all of their awesome, and tell them that's who they really are.
And it works.
For a culture that is so incredibly centered on extrinsic motivation and approval – we're pretty darn stingy with our compliments. But the good thing about constantly looking to one another for approval is: if it became normal to share all kind things, we'd be lifting each other up in no time.
Let's make it normal. The next time you're warmly reminded of someone, or see something that someone you know would love, or you randomly think something nice about an acquaintance – reach out.
Have you ever had a time so difficult that you wondered if you'd make it through? Of course you have. Who hasn't? And it's safe to bet that many in your life had no idea what you were going through. What if your kind words land on someone during a time like that? What if they help someone make it to the other side of their struggle?
I lost my mother to suicide when I was 14. The people on the outer circle of her life had no idea what kind of darkness was erupting within, she was probably laughing with co-workers about nonsense just days before it happened; but I know she debated it for years. No one knew about my dark times either, about scratching at my skin until it bled because the physical pain felt better than the emotional pain. I was voted "Most Friendly" earlier that year. No one had a clue.
My point is that we have no idea what battles the people we encounter in our lives are facing. No. Fucking. Clue. So if a kind sentence or action pops into your head, why not go with it? See where it takes you. I often get silence or awkwardness, but I also often get very sincere thank yous in return, and deeper connections with delightful folks.
So why not?

Film sound and setting
Here we discuss how film sound can be used to establish scenes, places, and spaces, especially in opening scenes.
If you remember the article on 'Cs and Ss' earlier in Week 1, from the Ciné-minis Booklet - Thinking About Film download in Step 1.5, you'll recall that two of the 'Ss' were Sound and Setting. This already suggests a close relationship between the two concepts - that film sound plays a very important role in establishing a place, a time, a period, a space, an environment. The soundscape in the first minute of Taps is intriguing - if you listen without the images, can we tell if we are indoors, or outside? In a big lonely house, or a playground? Is anyone else in the setting? Nothing prepares us for the fact that the dripping taps are actually the characters…
In this step, we're going to ask you to listen again to the sound clip from Step 1.8 and ask you to use the Sound 'Tell Me' grid, which we've attached in the downloads section. This time, focus on the information that the soundtrack (music, silence, sound effects, dialogue) provides us about setting, rather than listening just to the music. And remember, setting is time - of day, year, season, period - as well as space. When you've listened and made a few notes on your 'Tell Me' grid, share your responses in the comments section below.
Teaching idea
Following on from the idea above you could ask your learners to draw a picture of the space they can 'hear' using the Single Shot Storyboard Template in the downloads section and annotate it in a target language.
A single shot storyboard, as it sounds, is a frame for sketching an idea for a scene or shot, with boxes for adding information - about character, for example, or any sound effects. It can be offered to learners as a way of encouraging them to present what they are imagining, as a prompt for more formal writing or speaking. We have added a Single Shot Storyboard Template in German as an example of how this resource can be adapted for language learning. Please feel free to use it in class.

Lifetime Moves Forward With 'Blue Lagoon' Remake
Lifetime has greenlit a remake of The Blue Lagoon, The Hollywood Reporter confirms.
The original 1980 feature, starring Brooke Shields, followed a shipwrecked boy and girl who are marooned on a tropical island and mature without the intervention of grown-ups. The Blue Lagoon grossed $58.9 million in the domestic box office that year. The success of the film spawned the 1991 sequel, Return to the Blue Lagoon, which introduced audiences to Milla Jovovich.
Casting is already under way on the new film, with a start date being eyed for early next year.
Neil Meron (Footloose, Smash), Judith Verno (The Craigslist Killer, Justice for Natalee Holloway) and Craig Zadan (Footloose, Smash) will serve as executive producers on the Lifetime project. Storyline Entertainment and Peace Out Productions will produce in association with Sony TV.
This won't be Meron and Zadan's only venture with Lifetime. The duo is also adapting Steel Magnolias for the female-skewing cable network.

Yesterday we surveyed the short story market, where you can find the right magazines for your stories, how you can sell the same story again as a reprint and to an anthology, why short story collections are such a hard-sell to publishing houses, and how and when you should self-publish them.
Today we are going to talk about novels. There are only two real ways to sell your novel, and the choices are, for the most part, mutually exclusive, so you have a big decision to make. The first way is to a trade publishing house (both large presses and small, independent presses), and the second is to self-publish.
Large Publishers
If you want to sell your novel to one of the large trade houses, in most cases you will need a literary agent to submit on your behalf.
There are exceptions, some imprints like Tor still take unagented submissions, but for the most part, editors state that they will not read submissions that are unrepresented.
To get an agent in the US, you must send a query letter first, a short email describing your book and your publication history.
In the UK, the situation is slightly different, where it is standard to write a cover letter and include the first few chapters of your manuscript right from the off, postal submissions are more common, and a lot more weight is placed on the synopsis.
If the agent is interested, they will request to see either the first few chapters, or the rest of the manuscript.
If they are then interested in representing you, usually a phone call takes place first to assess mutual suitability then, assuming everything is fine, an offer of representation is made.
If you are happy with the terms, and they are usually standard – 15% on the earnings of that book for life, whether you part ways with the agent in the future or not – then you sign the agreement and the agent begins submitting to editors (after you make any changes she feels is necessary first).
The number varies from agent to agent, but agents tend to sell at least half of the manuscripts they represent. If the agent is successful and sells the manuscript to an editor, you will receive an advance on royalties.
The average advance for a first-time author of fiction with a large publishing house is between $5,000 and $10,000.
Most books do not "earn out" their advance; in other words they don't sell enough copies to cover the royalties they would have paid out without an advance.
If your book does well, or breaks even (which requires less sales than earning out), you may get a larger advance, and a larger print run, for your next book. If your book does poorly, you may struggle to get a contract for your next book.
However, the tricky part is getting an agent in the first place.
As they only receive a percentage of your earnings (both from the advance and any royalties you receive), they only take on clients they feel will make them money.
This is understandable, but it means that most agents only take on a handful of new clients every year, after all, most of them will have a large number of existing clients, all of whom will have their own demands on the agent's time.
Agents receive thousands and thousands of submissions every year, and your chances of being plucked from the pile are very small.
However, if you bag a big-name agent, they are more likely to score you a big deal. And if the publisher lays out big money on your advance, this means they will have to print huge numbers of your book to recoup that outlay.
This means that they will invest significant resources in promoting your book, as they will need to sell all those books they have printed. If you are lucky enough to be in this situation, it's the surest path to success in the literary world.
Agent-hunting is tough. You must be prepared to deal with a lot of rejection, sometimes helpful, sometimes snappy. You mustn't take it personally, they are not rejecting you , they are rejecting your book, just as when you pick up a book in a store and set it down after a paragraph or two because it's not quite right for you.
You also must be prepared for a long haul. Many writers don't succeed in gaining representation until they have sent out over a hundred query letters and submissions, sometimes a lot more. Many writers also don't succeed with their first book, or even their second. You must be prepared for it to take time.
There are excellent resources to help you find agents, write query letters (a special art), and deal with any tricky situations that come up along the way. Be warned, there are a lot of unscrupulous agents out there.
The golden rule is to never ever, under any circumstances whatsoever, pay money to an agent. If an agent refers you to a particular editing service, don't use it, it's a huge conflict of interest. To check whether an agent is one of the bad guys, go here.
Small Publishers
Small, independent publishers are often overlooked by writers who feel that it's either a large house or nothing (or self-publishing).
But this is a mistake. If anything, smaller houses are in a better position to exploit the changes in the publishing industry.
Most embraced e-books long ago, are more flexible with their pricing, and many have already abandoned frustrating things for customers like DRM and territory restrictions on e-books.
If you write in a relatively unpopular genre, if yours is more of a niche book, or if it is something that the larger houses consider less marketable, a smaller house could be the way to go.
The disadvantages of a small house are a (usually) smaller advance, if you get one. Initial print runs are smaller too, and they sometimes have problems matching the distribution of the larger houses. And if your book isn't on sale somewhere, it can't sell.
On the plus side, you don't need an agent to submit to them, they provide a much more personal service, they will fight hard for each individual book they publish, and some have a great reputation for producing quality rather than quantity – small presses garnered a huge amount of nominations for the major awards last year.
Again, here you must do your research. The best thing to do is to look at the books in the store that are similar to yours. Check who they are published by (and who the agent is, if it's a larger house – it will usually be in the acknowledgements).
Go to their website, check the submission guidelines, follow them. Prepare for a long wait, it can take between 6 months and a year to hear back. You can get more information about smaller presses here.
Before I list the benefits of self-publishing, I must give a warning.
For the most part, if you self-publish your book, you are closing the door on traditional publication for that book forever. Unless your sales numbers are great (and chances are they won't be), no trade house is going to want to publish it.
If you decide to go down this road, just remember, it's a one-way street. You can attempt to publish your next book through a trade house, but this one will be gone.
The biggest mistake self-publishers make, aside from putting out an unprofessional product (poor cover, editing, formatting, marketing), is publishing too early.
I spent 18 months searching for an agent, and got as far as the phone call twice, but it didn't work out. That sucked, as did all the rejections and waiting around, and getting your hopes up only to have them dashed, but I am in a better position now because of it.
First off, I'm tougher. All that rejection thickens your skin. And if you can't handle the idea of rejection, how do you think you are going to handle your first poor review?
Second, my book is a lot better now. I received lots of helpful feedback along the way from agents and editors, and I have gone through three further drafts since I first started submitting. When I think back to the book as it was, I hang my head.
And if self-publishing had been as viable an option then as it is now, I may have considered it. If I had done it, it would have been a disaster.
The key here is to have some kind of solid critiquing network. Whether that is a professional writer you know, a knowledgeable beta reader, a good writing group, or an online forum where you can get feedback, you must have somebody impartial that will give you an honest, proficient assessment of your work.
They aren't doing you any favours if they just flatter you and ignore the flaws. This goes for whatever publishing option you decide. Your novel must be perfect whether you submit to a trade house or decide to self-publish.
You must educate yourself thoroughly on every option, and make your own decision. Don't be swayed by headline-grabbing advances or stories of self-publishing success. Decide what's best for you based on your own circumstances.
If you have gone through all of these steps, and decide that you still want to self-publish your novel, you must realise that it is very difficult to be successful – the vast majority only sell a handful of copies.
The only way of giving yourself any chance to succeed at self-publishing is to treat it like a business. You must write the best story you can write. You must hire a professional editor. You must get a professional cover. You must format your book properly. And you must market it well.
If you have any short stories written, I would suggest that it might be best to self-publish these first. There is less risk involved, and if you mess it up, you won't have ruined your most valuable work. It can be great practice too, if you then decide to self-publish your novel.
I would also recommend publishing it as an e-book only first. Print self-publishing is a minefield. It can be done right, but it can be expensive, and you have lots to learn before you can consider it – even more so than digital publishing.
If your novel does well as an e-book, then you will have the resources to do a print version, if appropriate.
I am producing a continuing series of posts called INDIE PUBLISHING FOR INTERNATIONAL WRITERS, and you can follow me, step-by-step, as I make my first steps into digital publishing, and see if it is right for you.
If you want to learn more about the changes in the publishing industry, I have written a series of posts called THE NEW DIGITAL LANDSCAPE, which should help.
And if all this is getting too much for you, try a haiku.
Tomorrow we will take about the various digital sales channels where you can sell your work: Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, Kobo, Sony, Diesel, and Xinxii.

The 21-year-old has become a key figure in the Foxes first-team since Puel's arrival earlier this season following the sacking of previous manager Craig Shakespeare.
French tactician Puel has been pleased with Gray's recent form and has admitted he was interested in signing the England under-21 international during his time at St Mary's.
"I saw him last season in the Under-21 games and he can play in different positions for me," he told the Leicester Mercury.
"I wanted him before when I was at Southampton. But I am happy he is in the colours of Leicester and that I found him in my squad because he is a valuable player for the team.
"He showed the quality to control the ball and the play, but also to turn to take space because of his pace.
"His passing is good and he can create opportunities for Jamie [Vardy] and his team-mates."

Foras Growth Development
Posted 16/01/2018 : By: Alice Goodrich
In March 2017, Foras Ltd. were approved for funding by the West Norfolk LAG to develop a new manufacturing and storage area for their business, including new racking and an automated stock control management system. This allowed the applicant to bring more of their manufacturing in-house and improved the management of their stock. By improving warehousing and stock control, the business is able to work much more efficiently and by bringing manufacturing in-house, they have been able to significantly lower costs and reduce the lead time for bespoke products.
Norfolk farmer John Wootton and his partner, Claire Brutnall, gave up farming to form an exciting new venture in natural stone. Foras has since become an award-winning business that presents customers with an exclusive range of natural stone garden accessories, flooring and tiles to dress country homes, city terraces and courtyards.

Recent headlines about the condition of the Colorado economy sounded encouraging: Hiring up, Unemployment down in Colorado in December said the Denver Post. Colorado adds 2,200 jobs; unemployment drops to 6-year low according to the Denver Business Journal. A closer look at the numbers gives a more accurate picture of our state's economy.
Scanning the Colorado Labor Department's data reveals a troubling trend; while population totals continue to steadily increase, the total labor force and the number of workers has been shrinking for many months. In other words, we have more mouths to feed, but fewer people working to feed them.
Specifically, 71,582 people left the Colorado work force between June 2013 and December 2013. The total number of employed Coloradans with a job in December was 30,002 fewer than just last August, which was the best month for jobs in 2013. However, according to the Census Department, while workers were declining, Colorado gained nearly 80,000 in total population in 2013.
Colorado typically experiences a jobs surge in the summer months and that held true in 2013. However, unlike last year, in 2011 and 2012 both the workforce and total number of jobs continued to grow slightly into the 3rd and 4th quarters. Even in the sluggish recovery year of 2010, the workforce and jobs totals remained relatively stable in the second half of that year. This makes the shrinking trend in 2013 that much more concerning.
In his State of the State last month Gov. Hickenlooper touted the 170,000 jobs created since 2010. Notably, he failed to mention the declining trend over the last six months, or the fact that there are still 45,000 fewer jobs in Colorado than when the recession began six years ago.
The Governor also bragged that Colorado was the "4th fastest job growth state" in the nation, apparently referring to annual rankings by the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University. However, that was a 2012 ranking. In 2013, Colorado fell to 10th on the ASU listing of all states. Our standing would have been much worse except for the fact that we created more government jobs than any other state in the country by a substantial margin. Colorado's private sector job growth in 2013 tumbled from 4th to 19th place. The Governor failed to mention that in his speech, too.
Even the left-leaning Colorado Fiscal Institute admits in their most recent analysis that Colorado's economy "continues to plod along" with "mixed results." Some tepid good news can be gleaned from the data, but well into the fifth year of a supposed economic recovery we should be celebrating robust growth not rationalizing mixed results.
Misguided policy decisions have consequences. At the federal level, job killing policies like the Affordable Care Act (aka: Obamacare), the capital restricting Dodd-Frank legislation, the $800 billion stimulus blunder, and an inability to restrain deficit spending are rightfully blamed for the historically unprecedented sluggish national economic recovery.
In Colorado, those same mistaken federal policies have no doubt taken a toll on the state's economy. Added to the federal drag, however, is the impact of ill-conceived state policies generated by the Democrat majority in the legislature and supported by Gov. Hickenlooper including:
- A costly renewable energy mandate on rural Colorado,
- the "toughest in the nation" restrictions on the oil and gas industry,
- excessive anti-gun laws that drove jobs out of state,
- a ballot proposal for a billion dollar tax increase (thankfully defeated by the voters with a 2-to-1 margin).
If we're really going to have a Colorado that leads the nation in job growth, our leaders need to do more than cherry pick data. Looking more deeply reveals cause for concern and raises serious questions about the public policy decisions of the Democratic political leadership in our state. Even if they won't publicly admit it, hopefully the politicians will study and learn from their mistakes.

A few days ago I fell from a scaffolding and cracked a rib. Surprisingly it didn't hurt a whole lot the next day, so I made the mistake of hitting a heavy training session. It hurt a lot more after that. As I write this, I'm sitting on my couch enjoying the temporary relief of two extra-strength Tylenol. Today was supposed to include a heavy leg training session. Not wanting to repeat my mistake of last week, I squatted 135 for 3 sets of 10 instead, which for me normally wouldn't even qualify as a warmup. I don't know a single long-term lifter who hasn't dealt with serious injury at some point. Whether caused by training or an accident outside the gym, your body will eventually get knocked flat and call time out. It's inevitable. If you love training, this can be really tough. People who don't lift won't understand why you're so miserable. For them, getting hurt probably isn't that big a deal. As long as they can still walk to their car and the donut shop, injury doesn't faze them. For those driven to push their bodies to the natural limits so those limits can expand, being temporarily grounded by pain often breeds intense mental anguish. It certainly has for me. But all is not lost. Here are my 5 favourite battle strategies for when injury comes calling.
This might seem easier said than done, but maintaining a positive attitude when you're injured is crucial. If we were robots awaiting repair of a malfunctioning sprocket, recovery would be easy because emotion wouldn't be a factor. For emotional human beings working through an exercise-halting injury, it can be much more difficult. Don't allow yourself to board the self-pity train. It doesn't lead to your desired destination. Instead, make it a point to tell yourself small, encouraging truths as you progress along the road to recovery. It sounds silly, but repeating simple things like "I'm still strong", "I will recover", and "I'll regain all my lost progress" is a highly effective technique in the battle against discouragement and despondency.
A vital part of recovery is doing everything in your power to make it happen as quickly as possible. Depending on your injury, that might mean rest, ice packs, physiotherapy, surgery, or all the above. I've been injured many times, and know from experience that you can't cut corners with recovery. It takes time, and apparent shortcuts almost never work. Recovering as quickly as possible doesn't necessarily mean the process will be fast. It just means you're leaving no stone unturned as you heal. Start by seeing a doctor and get the problem professionally diagnosed. Then do what they say. Most importantly, don't rush back to training before you're ready. Lifting like you're not injured when you are can add weeks to your recovery time. Give your body the time it needs to knit itself back together.
Sometimes injuries are bad enough that you have to stop training entirely. Other times, you just need to stop or reduce training of a certain body part. Make a judgement call about what sort of training (if any) your body can handle as you heal. Back in 2014 I strained my left pectoral muscle. All upper body work was out for a while, but I could still train my legs, so I did. For those who love training, it can be tempting to give up entirely when you're injured, letting discouragement at what you can't do kill your enthusiasm for what you still can. Resist this tendency. Even if you feel no enthusiasm for your partial training routine, force yourself through the motions. Eventually you'll heal, and with the return of health will come your lost enthusiasm.
For those who love training, having to slow down or stop due to injury is extremely frustrating. People who don't train will never understand this, because they're only too happy to take it easy when they get hurt. For those who lift, taking time off from the gym is like taking time off from breathing. The temptation to train through pain rather than rest can be overwhelming at times, but you must resist it. In the long run, training when you shouldn't will probably force you to take even more time off. If you want to get back to lifting as soon as possible, give your body the break it needs, then come back to the iron when you're ready. Adding training stress to an injured body part is usually counterproductive.
Being forced to slow down and get off the gains train for a while sometimes causes training motivation to wane. At first, you'll probably feel eager to get back to lifting and frustrated that you can't yet. After a while you might find yourself slipping into apathetic acceptance of your situation. This is a dangerous slope. Once you stop feeling the drive to train, getting back to it when you're healed becomes much harder. The solution is to find ways of keeping motivation and enthusiasm alive throughout your recovery. For me, that means watching lifting videos online. My favourite series is "Strength Wars". Check it out on YouTube if you're looking for something to pump you up. Whatever motivated you to start training in the first place, reconnect with it. Don't let your passion for strength and fitness die because of one injury. Dead motivation can be resurrected, but it's much harder than just keeping it alive and well.
