KASUR : Jounalist and social activist Reham Khan visited Kasur on Saturday and met the family of seven-year-old Zainab who died after tragic rape incident.
Reham offered condolences to the bereaved family and expressed solidarity with them.
Talking to media, she termed the incident 'terrible and stressed that the brutal murder should not be politicized. "It is tragic that we have to pick the dead bodies of our children again and again," she said.
She urged Punjab chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif to show the same speed in Zainab's murder case that he maintained while constructing Orange Train. "Conduct surgical strike in Kasur and immediately arrest the culprit. Punjab CM is highly experienced in governance. He should adopt role model behavior in the case," said Reham.
She asserted that political leaders came in the funeral of Zainab and should also visit the convocation of girls.
Zainab was kidnapped from Road Kot when her parents left for Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah. The girl was strangled to death after being raped. Police officers recovered her body from a garbage heap near Zaki Ada.
Her funeral prayer was led by Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) Chief Tahir-ul-Qadri and offered by flocks of people.
The incident sparked countrywide protests and riots while shutter down strike was observed in Kasur as all the markets and educational institutions remained closed for two days.
Many politicians, activists condemned the death of the young girl and urged to bring the culprits to justice in tweets that flooded Twitter.
It is to be mentioned here that as many as 12 children have been killed after rape in Kasur in one year whereas police officers have killed three people involved in such criminal activities.

Get out and have some fun. The fourth annual National Night Out begins at 6 tonight at Melgaard Park. Though the purpose of the nationwide event is to promote public safety awareness, what it also means is an old-fashioned good time for families. There will be family entertainment, inflatable rides for kids, free food and prizes - including airline tickets to Denver and a hotel room for the stay. In addition to all the fun stuff, families can learn things too: 25 organizations, ranging from the police department to local fire departments to service organizations like Safe Harbor, will be on hand to share information on public safety with everyone present. The weather is looking good and there's plenty of shade in the park. The whole event sounds like a winner to us. Historically, the event has been filled with fun things to do that have ranged from doughnut-eating contests to bicycle safety courses designed to help eliminate the "Look Ma, no hands!" phrase from the vocabulary of local kids, and daredevils of all ages. National Night Out is an event in more than 10,000 communities throughout the country. Last year more than 34 million people participated. For more information, visit its Web site, www.nationaltownwatch.org. The Web site says NNO is designed to:
- Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness.
- Generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime programs.
- Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships.
- Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. Aberdeen should be proud of its local planners, because they have aimed to accomplish these goals and more. The event really takes these goals one step farther by inviting area service organizations to participate. This is an excellent way for people to become more familiar with public safety offerings and with all the many and varied services offered locally for children, families and adults alike. All that, and free food too. What more can we ask? Just this: that we all go - and participate. Let's all get out tonight. We'll have some fun and learn something while we're at it.

... not willingly.
Leslie Basham, the TV talent for nearly two decades for the mega-car dealer Landers Auto, has been cut loose. A news release issued in her behalf indicates the news came as something of a shock.
Her news release linked her departure to the sale of Landers Auto to a national dealership group and a change of advertising direction.
She still does similar work for other clients.
Her release said she "deserved to be able to say good-bye."
Where's Leslie Basham? You may have noticed a big change to Landers Auto in Benton's television commercials--no more Leslie Basham. The face that has entered our homes and hearts as the spokesperson for Landers for 20 years has been replaced by a blonder, flashier version.
It seems the style of the commercials has also undergone a "makeover." Gone are the days of classic lines such as, "where character and reputation always make the difference," and other homespun philosophies. They are now replaced with a much harder-edged approach.
Who would have done such a thing? Landers in Benton, which was once locally owned and operated by Steve Landers, Sr., is now owned by a Detroit-based automotive corporation, Penske Automotive Group. It named a new area vice president, Whit Ramonat, who alone made the call to end the soft-sell approach that Landers in Benton had relied on for almost two decades---one corporate decision with several local repercussions.
Basham, who was born and raised right here in Little Rock, had this to say about the switch, "For 19 and a half years, it was great relationship, it was privilege to work for them." And, about their new way of advertising, "I think people appreciated the personal touch we had, that's why we've been so successful. I think people will miss that."
Gary Lay, owner of GWL Advertising, Inc. started the soft sell commercials introducing Basham as the spokesperson almost 20 years ago when Landers was just a small used car lot. "We grew together. The style that worked here, worked in several other markets in the south, and Leslie played a key role in that," says Lay.
Lay still handles the advertising for Steve Landers, Sr. and his sons who continue to own and operate several local dealerships in Little Rock and throughout the state. Lay says, "It will be strange to not see Leslie on the Landers' spots. She is a great lady with an Immeasurable amount of class. She, at least, deserved to be able to say good-bye."

Wimax Features
WiMAX is a great invention in wireless technology providing 30 miles broadband access to mobile users. Wimax technology based on IEEE 802.16 standard and it is a telecommunication protocol offering full access to mobile internet across cities and countries with a wide range of devices. Wimax technology has salient features as described below.
Wimax support multipath
Wimax broadband access
Wimax technology is offering very high speed broadband access to mobile internet. When you are using 20MHz the data rate can be high up to 74Mbps. Generally 10MHz wit the TDD scheme provides 3:1 up and down link ratio. Wimax providing very good signals therefore higher data rate can be achieved with multiple antennas. Antennas are used for beam forming, space time coding etc.
Wimax offer high speed data rate
The scalable architecture of physical layer is offering high speed data rate. Wimax technology is providing easily scaling of data with possible bandwidth of channel. If the bandwidth of channels may from 1.25MHz to 10MHz then a system can use 128, 512, 048 bit FFTs which provide dynamically roaming across numerous network having dissimilar bandwidth.
The use Wimax technology is increasing rapidly because it supports lots of modulation and error correction facility to user. It also allowing a user that they could change the scheme according to channel condition. (AMC) Adaptive Modulation and Coding is a valuable method to exploit throughput in a varying channel.Wimax support reliability of data
Automatic retransmission of data supported by Wimax at data link layer for link is a great feature. It is not only improving reliability but also enabled ARQ which necessitate each broadcast packet to be recognized by the receiver, and if any unacknowledged data packets are unspecified to be misplaced and are retransmitted.
Wimax mobility
The basic and most important feature of Wimax technology is to support mobility applications as VoIP. The power saving mechanism of Wimax technology is used to extend the battery life of handheld devices. It supports mobile applications including channel estimation, subchannelization, power control etc.
To get access to wimax base station is not a huge task now because the wide range of connectivity of wimax provides access to base station from home. Installation of hardware is also very easy with wimax technology. With the growth of Wimax technology its more feature may also comes up.

- Transplant Type:
- Autologous
- Diagnosis:
- Non-Hodgkin lymphoma
- Received Transplant:
- 2005
It takes David Felton three-and-a-half hours to drive to Roswell Park from his home in Hamilton, New York, for his visit to the BMT Long-Term Survivorship Clinic, but "I look forward to it every year," he says.
Now retired, the former president and CEO of Community Memorial Hospital in Hamilton underwent an autologous blood stem cell transplant at Roswell Park in 2005. Since then, members of the medical team in the BMT Survivorship Clinic have kept him up to date on the latest research about the long-term effects of blood and marrow transplantation.
The clinic team "always has a couple of recommendations," he says. "Previously there were some immunizations I had to have. This year they suggested that my primary care physician order a bone-density scan and that my cardiologist order a stress test and echocardiogram because of some of the chemo I was on prior to the transplant. They're right on top of things."
The clinic visits are also important because "they reassure patients that they are on the right track," he adds.
Looking back on his transplant and nine years of follow-up appointments, Mr. Felton says the care he has received at Roswell Park is truly great. "Everybody — from the housekeepers, the security guard, the parking attendant, and the nurses, to Dr. McCarthy and his staff — has been just outstanding."
"As a hospital CEO, I used my experience at Roswell Park in my education programs for employees, to show how they can have terrific patient satisfaction and a thoughtful approach to patient care.
"People should know that there really is a difference. In addition to the excellent clinical care you get at Roswell, it's that personal approach to care."

I'm a big fan of Dan Coyle's book The Talent Code. He describes the fascinating methods some of the most talented athletes, performers, and business people use to grow their skills. I've been thinking about his book for months and how it applies to building writing talent. He has a section in the book that mentions writing talent (as evidenced by the Bronte sisters) but I wanted more. We were lucky enough to have him give an engaging talk at Pixar today. The talk inspired me to get my thoughts down about how Dan's principles of building talent apply to writing and specifically to writers groups.
Talent Hotbed
Dan talks about unique areas called "talent hotbeds" - places like Brazil (soccer), Spartak Academy (tennis), and Meadowmount (classical music). We have a mini talent hotbed here at Pixar - our writers group. This is a picture of a few of our members:
Laura runs our group - that's her holding the Austin Film Festival's Enderby Entertainment Award. She was one of 10 writers out of 6,764 who won this prestigious competition. That's the top 0.15%. That's awesome. But what's incredible is that Susan (on the right) was a Finalist this year (top 0.74%). And I (on the left) was a Finalist in 2012 (top 0.77%). We've had one other Austin Finalist from our tiny writers group (Stephan). Our group ranges between 4-8 core members who meet regularly. That means that half of our writers have made the Finals of one of the most prestigious screenplay competitions in the world. This isn't a coincidence - the odds are astronomical. So what's happening in our writers group to grow this talent?
Feedback Loops
Dan made a great point today that Pixar wasn't built out of glass and steel and our swimming pool. It's a place built on feedback loops. That's ingrained in our culture of "plussing" and the mantra of "fail early, fail often." We make 8-9 bad versions of our movies in reel form before we put the finished film out to the public. And all employees are invited to the screenings to give feedback to the producer. So we're constantly failing, iterating, and improving over the course of the 4-5 years it takes to make our films.
We've carried those feedback loops into our writer's group. Writers bring in pages every week and guess what - they're not pretty. I've contributed plenty of terrible pages over the years. Wooden dialogue, sagging second act, unsympathetic characters, etc. But we know that our group is a safe place to bring these bad pages. We do a table read (so you can hear your cringe-worthy dialogue out loud) and then we give feedback to the writer. "Have you thought about this?" "What if you...?" "What are you trying to achieve with this scene?" It's painful to hear this feedback. But the writers suck it up and learn to look at the work more objectively. Then they come in the next week with slightly better pages. The other great thing about giving feedback on others' scripts is that it lets you spot the problems in yours. By noticing when something isn't working over there you notice that you're having the same problem here. One of the worst screenwriting teachers I ever had would just tell everyone that everything they wrote was wonderful. That's no way to grow.
Another concept Dan has is "what's in your windshield?" What are you looking ahead to? Who are you looking up to? We're spoiled here at Pixar because we get amazing filmmaking guests through here regularly. People like Quentin Tarantino, Darren Aronofsky, Jon Favreau, Michael Arndt, Alexander Payne, Lindsay Doran, and Thomas McCarthy. Sometimes they'll even come talk to our little writers group. This gives us concrete inspiration - someone to aspire to be. Within Pixar we have so many talented writer/directors that we look up to. And we also look up to and challenge each other. Seeing your fellow writers place highly in contests motivates you to work hard to also place. That's exactly what's happened.
Toggle Space
Dan talked about "toggle space", which is the area between a group being too nice and too mean. I may be butchering this concept but that's what I remember about it. It's basically an oscillation between contention and connection. We have contention in our writers group in that we tell each other what we think is wrong with the scripts. Feelings can get hurt but people are passionate about making the work better so we know it's coming from a genuine place. There's not a lot of gray area in our discussions - people speak their minds. Newcomers often have a hard time adjusting because we dispense with the standard "compliment sandwich" approach to feedback and go straight for the meat. It's faster and more effective to just get to the notes instead of dancing around them.
But that contention is tempered with connection. We support each other and root for each other. We go to screenwriting retreats and festivals together, where we drink and bond. We meet up for meals and celebrate each other's achievements with cupcakes and champagne. We tell each other about interesting writing-related events coming up. We are a community. So when you get that tough feedback you know it's coming from a place of love and support.
The Edge of Talent
Dan talks about finding the edge of your talent - that uncomfortable place where you're struggling but growing. In our writers group, we throw ourselves into new genres and formats. Seeing Laura tackle a historical period piece motivated me to attempt my first adaptation of a mythological cycle. Even when someone tends to stick to a certain genre they will usually set a challenge with the structure (recurring timelines, multiple protagonists, etc.) This means that we often fail (especially in the early attempts), but it ensures the work never grows stale and that we are constantly learning. Our group has grown and sought new challenges outside of screenwriting, from children's book writing to directing a narrative short to directing a feature documentary. We've built a habit of putting ourselves in uncomfortable places and trying new things.
Writing can be such a solitary activity. But a very effective way to build writing talent is to join or form a writers group. You get so many benefits, from feedback to community to inspiration. If you want to accelerate your writing growth, I recommend two things:
1) Buy Dan's book.
2) Join or start a writers' group.

In the popular imagination, emerging markets are seen as economic engines of sky-high growth, pumping out cheap products and earning investors unbelievably high returns on their interest.
But believe it or not, emerging markets also have another, more obscure strength: they are a hotbed of tech innovation, and in fact, have become fantastic bases for entrepreneurs and their fledgling, scrappy startups. After all, thanks to the internet, tech workers are location independent: they can work anywhere in the world, and are no longer bound by the harsh realities of time and distance.
While much of this is due to government incentives like ambitious infrastructure projects, there's plenty of individual initiative at play, particularly where it concerns resources like intellectual capital. Let's take a look at why entrepreneurs should look outside the US, as well as three tech hotspots in emerging markets.
Why look outside the US?
By now, it's clear that Silicon Valley specifically (and for that matter, America more generally) can be challenging places to live and work, particularly for tech entrepreneurs. Though the root causes are very complex, the problems remain the same: an astronomical cost of living and shoddy infrastructure.
For instance, as of February 2017, the average rent in San Jose, California is $3,178 for a two-bedroom apartment–a figure so high that some residents are even forced to live in vehicles like RVs, cars, and vans. Additionally, in terms of internet speed and affordability, the United States does not score well; speed-wise, the country comes in at 22nd place with an average of 11 megabits per second (mb/s). Singapore, which took the first spot on the list, averaged a whopping 98 mb/s.
Much of this has to do with infrastructure, or the lack thereof. Most of America's network is still copper coaxial cable, rather than the faster fiber optic networks that are responsible for Singapore's blazing fast internet speeds. The fact that much of the internet is provided through oligopolies doesn't help, either: a handful of companies (Time Warner, Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T) provide internet, which equates to high prices and little incentive to improve.
What cities in emerging markets are good for startups?
But it's not just enough that entrepreneurs should seek reliable, robust internet connections and a low cost of living overseas. After all, while you can always consult a cost of living database in order to compare cities and countries, it's much harder to find a base of soft capital (whether it's skilled coders or a concentration of VC investors) without more thorough research.
Read on for three cities in emerging markets that can offer both tangible resources (like infrastructure) as well as intangible ones.
Lagos, Nigeria
Nairobi, in the nearby country of Kenya, may be known as Silicon Savannah, but there's a new kid on the block: Lagos, Nigeria, a bustling city of 21 million–and the latest, and most surprising, addition to the startup scene.
Though Lagos has long been known for its infamous traffic jams, today, the city is rapidly gaining notoriety for another sort of traffic: web startups. Yaba, the epicenter of Lagos's burgeoning tech industry, is a flourishing, dynamic hub, home to an impressive array of startups, incubators, and tech talent. Even Y Combinator, the California-based powerhouse that helped build big names like Airbnb, Stripe, and Dropbox, is getting in on the action, accepting a number of Nigerian applicants such as e-payment platforms Paystack and Flutterwave.
Other standout startups include Slatecube, a startup built to address Nigeria's pressing unemployment problem–and whose founder turned down a job offer from MIcrosoft (and later told Bill Gates himself about it); or LifeBank, an app that connects blood banks with Lagos hospitals (which receive only 43% of the required plasma each year, leaving serious shortfalls).
More recently, Yaba was visited by Mark Zuckerberg, who came in part to learn more about Andela, a talent recruiting startup he backed with nearly $24 million. Zuckerberg hailed Andela, and startups like it, as a key way to address the talent-opportunity gap; though cities like Lagos are teeming with intelligent, highly qualified individuals, many of them still lack the requisite access to opportunities.
If past is anything to go by, however, the lack of opportunity in Lagos will likely not stay that way for soon–nor will the favorable climate and abundance of human capital.
Shenzhen, China
Born of an experiment with capitalism, this southern Chinese city may well be one of the most important cities that you've never heard of–and perfect for entrepreneurs seeking a skilled, tech-savvy workforce. For decades, Shenzhen has served the world's factory, producing up to 90% of the world's gadgets, from high-end products like smartphones and cutting-edge gaming consoles to more humble fare such as LEDs and phone chargers.
Today, however, Shenzhen is no longer the copycat factory of yesteryear; instead, it's rapidly gaining a reputation for innovation, leveraging its considerable base of scientists, engineers, designers, and factory workers not towards knocking off Western products–but towards designing and producing its own, world-class machines. Some notable firms include DJI, the world's leading manufacturer of commercially-available drones, and Huawei, the third-largest producer of smartphones globally–and number 15 on Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2017.
All this is to say that entrepreneurs, particularly those focusing on hardware, will love Shenzhen. The atmosphere is rife with innovation and disruption, as loose, decentralized networks collaborate to bring products from concept to execution with breakneck speed. After all, there's a reason that this area, which accounts for 5% of the nation's population, rakes in a tenth of China's GDP, a quarter of its exports, and 20% of its foreign direct investment.
Sao Paulo
Under its previous leader, Dilma Rousseff, Brazil gained a reputation for startup savvy; her administration incentivized entrepreneurs, targeting them with low interest rates, heavy investment in infrastructure, targeted tax cuts, and even retirement benefits–providing, in essence, pro-growth bonuses. Through its program, Startup Brasil, the government bundled together visas, incubators, and even investment, centered in two cities: Rio de Janeiro, and of course, Sao Paulo.
Today, Dilma may be gone and the government totally changed–but both Brazil has retained its reputation as a tech superpower. Despite the new Brazilian government passing a series of severe austerity measures, which froze public spending for almost twenty years, the startup scene remains strong. For its part, Sao Paulo is home to multinational tech giants like Google, Uber, and Airbnb; the site of countless accelerators (such as Startup Farm, a famously intense, intensive program that has already invested over $100 million across hundreds of startups); and a robust ecosystem of both venture capital and talent.
True, the city isn't without obstacles: Brazilian bureaucracy, for instance, is notoriously inefficient, and Sao Paulo isn't an exception. Yet all things considered, Sao Paulo is a fantastic choice for budding entrepreneurs and their teams–especially in light of the abundant investment, an environment rich in human talent and resources, and strong, innovative, and diverse teams.
Thanks to a combination of government incentives, ambitious infrastructure projects, and individual initiative, emerging and frontier markets increasingly are an affordable, attractive alternative for cash-strapped founders with little more than drive, vision, and a plan.

Forbidden Love
Wrist Warmers
The Forbidden Love part? I know it's not the sort of thing we talk about in polite society, but I've fallen in love with an acrylic yarn—a cheap acrylic yarn ($3.99 for a 218-yard skein). Soft Delight Extremes by Yarn Bee, which is the house brand for Hobby Lobby. I picked it up when I was in the midwest last summer visiting my sister. It looked like any number of other yarns on the skein: kind of hairy, but definitely not an eyelash, some color variegation, but nothing that cried out "I will be your new obsession! You will succumb to my powers and become helpless like a child!" Still, the price was right, so I bought a skein.
This is a great beginner pattern. I found it when I was looking to expand beyond the headhugger hat I'd learned in class. I'm finding it super-easy to follow. Very comforting!

text: A group at Max Born Institut in Berlin have produced ultrashort optical pulses by molecular phase modulation in Raman-active gases. Unlike self-phase modulation, the technique should enable the control of the time-dependent phase of the pulses it generates.To produce the pulses, the researchers illuminated a 1-m waveguide filled with H2 or SF6 with 30-fs, 800-nm pump and 27- or 15-fs, 400-nm probe pulses from a Ti:sapphire laser. According to the team's calculations, the technique could generate 3.5-fs pulses; in the experiments, reported in the May 20 issue of Physical Review Letters, it produced pulses shorter than 4 fs.

383 F.2d 988
AIRCRAFTSMEN, INC., Appellant,
AIRCRAFT EQUIPMENT COMPANY, Appellee.
No. 23535.
United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit.
November 6, 1967.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida; William O. Mehrtens, Judge.
William E. Schuyler, Jr., Washington, D. C., Richard A. Pallot, Miami, Fla., (Pallot, Silver, Pallot & Stern, Miami, Fla., Browne, Schuyler & Beveridge, Washington, D. C., on the brief), for appellant.
James E. Cockfield, Washington, D. C., Thomas H. Anderson, Miami, Fla., (James P. Burns, Burns, Doane, Benedict, Swecker & Mathis, Washington, D. C., Shutts & Bowen, Miami, Fla., on the brief), for appellee.
Before BROWN, Chief Judge, and COLEMAN and SIMPSON, Circuit Judges.
This appeal by the plaintiff below is from a judgment holding United States Letters Patent 2,828,166 invalid and not to have been infringed by defendant-appellee. All issues of law and fact were exhaustively considered and decided by the District Court in a published opinion, 247 F.Supp. 469 (1965). Upon thorough consideration of the appeal, including briefs and fine arguments here, we are left in no doubt that the case was correctly decided. This being so, no worthwhile service is to be accomplished by any paraphrasing of an opinion already published.
The judgment of the District Court, therefore, is

Across the country, volunteers are turning out to help count the homeless people in their communities. They will do their best, within the guidelines they're given. But they won't come up with anything like an accurate number.
Part of the problem, of course, is that some homeless people will be widely scattered in side streets, alleys, parked cars and other places where they're hard to find. One client at So Others Might Eat has spoken of spending three days in a trash chute.
But the more basic problem is that many homeless people will be deliberately excluded from the count. Here's why.
Communities try to count homeless people because it's a requirement for receiving funds under three so-called Continuum of Care programs. These programs are administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. So communities have to use HUD's definition of "homeless."
According to HUD, people count as homeless if they are in:
- Emergency shelters
- Transitional housing, including hotel or motel rooms paid for by vouchers
- "Places not meant for human habitation such as cars, parks, abandoned buildings and on the street"
So people are not counted as homeless if they're living doubled up with friends or relatives or if they're in camping grounds or cheap motels because they can't afford a month's worth of rent or a security deposit. Nor are children counted if they're in institutions because their parents are homeless.
Countless (pun intended) individuals and families are in one of these situations. Blogger Diane Nilan summarizes some of the major reasons. Others include unsafe and unhealthful conditions in shelters, inaccessibility for disabled individuals and just plain lack of shelters, particularly in rural communities.
Granted, it would be difficult to count homeless people doubled up or in motel rooms they're paying for themselves. But ignoring the fact they exist is hardly an answer. And that's what HUD did in using the homeless count and other data based on its definition to report on the extent of homelessness in the country.
As a result, neither the Congress nor the American public has a realistic view of how many homeless people there are. And, if we don't know that, how can we know, except anecdotally, how well–or poorly–existing programs are working?
The last Congress considered bills that would have expanded the HUD definition of "homeless" as part of the reauthorization of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. It will have another chance when it returns to this unfinished task.
What Congress should do is controversial, but the debate is really about who should be served by the COC programs. This is–or should be–a separate issue from the issue of how we count homeless people.

As of 11:27 AM CDT, Ernie Els is tied for second at the US Open in Pebble Beach, just two shots off of the lead. While most of the US coverage is focused on Phil Mickelson, I'll stick with Els.
Back in 2008, after failing to win a PGA Tour event in 2005, 2006 and 2007, Els won the Honda Classic. Five days later, Els held a press conference and said, "I have a son with autism - his name is Ben."
I get that.
In a game dominated by mental toughness as much as physical ability, it's no surprise that Els struggled from 2005-2007. His mind was getting its ass kicked on a regular basis. Here's how he described it to Parade Magazine:
"I was feeling sorry for myself. You're a man, you have your boy: You want to play football, soccer, and golf with him. Out on the Tour, you miss a couple of putts, and you don't play well. That's an emotional roller coaster, regardless of what's going on in your personal life. Then, all of the sudden, you connect the two--my God, my son has autism--and you really feel a bit depressed."
No celebrity story about autism resonates with me more than Els's. It isn't the fact that his son, Ben, is Robbie's age. It isn't the fact that his daughter, Samantha, is Kelly's age.
Els tried to keep Ben's condition private. He tried to deal with it on his own for a long time. That doesn't work. It's a lesson most of us had to learn the hard way. For Els, it took strokes off his game. For me, it put pounds on my waist. He kept an outward appearance of calmness and hid the fact from the people closest to him, including Chubby Chandler, his manager. As CBS Sports reports:
On the surface, Els always looks calm. When he was winning 15 times between 1994-2004, he looked calm. When he was winning just once from 2005-09, he looked calm. Even his manager and close friend, Chandler, didn't know.
I get that.
"At the time, I couldn't see what he was going through," Chandler said. "I couldn't see the bad side. But now that it's good, I see the good side. I see how relaxed he is. He's serene." It starts with a first step.
I have a son with autism.
The hardest words I've ever said. And they're still hard. But once you finally say them - and mean them- the damn breaks. The water rushes out in a fury. Eventually it empties and you start to get your life back. Your game. Your sanity. Your waist. Now, off to the gym.

Last year, I held a small fundraiser to help me pay for college. If I met my goal, I'd release a collection of HPL-inspired Mythos fiction: five stories, two of which were previously published by Chaosium, and another three that hadn't been seen before.
Because I didn't meet my goal, I couldn't afford to take time off to focus solely on the collection, but I have been writing on it whenever I could sneak a spare moment. And now the writing is done!
I actually wrote four new, original, stories, so everyone who contributed to the campaign will get six short stories all together, plus a podcast of me reading one of them.
I shared three excerpts online:
- An Excerpt from "CL3ANS3" (reprint)
- An Excerpt from "No Hand To Turn The Key" (reprint)
- An Excerpt from "The Night Hours" (original)
The three other new stories are:
- "Black Mud Sun", about a small team of cosmonauts investigating a mysterios rift in space…
- "Blood Red Sea", a classic HPL-style Mythos adventure set in the 1800s, when a sailing ship could still find places no man has ever been…
- "When It All Falls Through", where the right drink poured for a customer on the right stool, in the right bar, could go so very wrong…
Right now, I'm working my way through revisions, artwork, and putting the whole thing together. I'm planning to have it done to release this summer. So, if you contributed already, yay! You'll have the book soon.
If you didn't get a chance to buy your copy, you still can, by pre-ordering it via PayPal for $2 — OR, if you'd like to contribute more, and get bigger rewards (original art, editing services, my perpetual adoration) you can do so by donating directly to me here.
$5 or more: You'll receive the ebook and podcast, when it's ready.
$20 or more: I'll beta read a short story – under 8000 words – for you. Any genre. (You can select this reward now and redeem it at a future date.)
$50 or more: There's more than a few victims of foul play in these stories. Donate $50, and you get to name one of them. (A vaguely reasonable human name, please.)
$75 or more: Donate this amount, and I'll send you the signed original of a b/w line drawing I'm creating as interior art for this collection.
I've turned off last year's GoFundMe, but the reward levels are still the same; I want everyone to get the same benefits. Just leave me a note with your donation so I know which reward you want!
And, if you're interested in beta reading one of the stories, please email me and let me know. You get to read one early, and I would appreciate the feedback.
As always, thank you for your support.

Retirement income scorecard: Systematic withdrawals
(MoneyWatch) Continuing our look at how to assess your future retirement income, let's turn our attention to "systematic withdrawals," which are one of three ways to generate a paycheck from the retirement savings you've stashed away. (For more background on the three methods, you may want to review my recent post, "3 ways to turn your IRA and 401(k) into a lifetime retirement paycheck.")
Financial planners and writers will often tell you something along these lines: If you invest in a portfolio balanced between stocks and bonds, withdraw 4 percent each year for retirement income and give yourself an annual raise to account for inflation, there's a roughly 90 percent chance that your money will last for at least 30 years. Hence, the justification for the so-called 4 percent rule.
- 3 ways to turn your IRA and 401(k) into a lifetime retirement paycheck
- Retirement income scorecard: Interest and dividends
- Your most critical retirement planning challenge
Retirement income generator (RIG) #2: Systematic withdrawals
The 4 percent rule is actually a good starting point for considering an appropriate withdrawal rate. But if you fall into one of the following two categories, you might want to consider withdrawing amounts of less than 4 percent:
- If your retirement investments are actively managed and incur investment expenses of more than 50 basis points (0.50 percent), over the long run you may fall short of the net rates of return that justify the four percent rule.
- If you're married, both you and your spouse are healthy, and you retire in your early to mid sixties, there's a good chance that one of you will live for more than 30 years.
If either of these statements applies to you, you may want to consider payout rates on your retirement income of 3 or 3.5 percent.
In addition, there's a point of view emerging from some financial analysts, such as Dr. Wade Pfau, that the analyses supporting the four percent rule are based on a period of U.S. history that may have been a remarkably good time for stock and bond returns. It may be that future returns on stocks and bonds won't be able to support a four percent withdrawal rate. If you believe this, you may want to use a lower withdrawal rate.
In spite of the above thoughts, you might consider a higher withdrawal rate if you're willing to accept some chance of running out of money before you die, or if you're willing to curb your withdrawals down the road if your investments sour. In short, setting the appropriate withdrawal rate is both art and science, and there's no single "right" answer that works for everybody.
Here's the simple table comparing these payout amounts and rates for $100,000 in retirement savings.
Now let's look at managed payout funds offered by mutual fund companies. Vanguard offers its managed payout funds, and Fidelity offers so-called income replacement funds. These funds invest in portfolios balanced between stocks and bonds, and pay a monthly retirement income that includes interest, dividends and principal payments. Here's a comparison of the annual retirement paycheck produced by these funds and their payout rates as of January 2013.
The payouts from all the Fidelity and Vanguard funds have dropped dropped since my last retirement income scorecard at the beginning of October 2012, primarily due to declining interest rates and revised expectations about future returns.
The payouts from these funds are generally higher than those from the simple managed payout rules shown previously. Why? A few reasons:
- With the simple managed payout rule, your monthly income is intended never to decrease, even with poor investment returns. You start with a low payout rate to be able to withstand possible future unfavorable investment returns. With the Vanguard and Fidelity managed payout funds, your monthly income can decrease in the future if returns head south.
- The Fidelity funds are intended to be exhausted at their target date (thus the snarky nickname for this investment, "target death funds"). The Vanguard funds are intended to last throughout your life, but that's not guaranteed.
Also note that the Vanguard and Fidelity funds each have different asset allocations, depending on their growth goals, which explains the different payout rates.
Clearly, there are differences in the way systematic withdrawals can work, and you'll need to spend some time learning about the different strategies and features. Don't simply pick the method or fund that generates the highest retirement income. And recognize that systematic withdrawals require the most ongoing attention of the three different ways to generate retirement income.
The retirement income data in the charts above represent pre-tax income amounts. So it's important to recognize that federal and state income taxes will have a significant effect on your after-tax income and should be taken into account. The income taxes you pay will vary depending on whether your retirement savings have previously been invested before taxes in traditional IRA or 401(k) accounts or have been invested after taxes, such as in a Roth IRA. Your eligibility for special tax treatment on capital gains, ordinary dividends, or municipal bonds will also come into play.
Stay tuned for my next post that shows the retirement income scorecard for RIG #3, immediate annuities.

SCHLADMING, AUSTRIA -- As James Millard secures the buckles on his faded black ski boots, he closes his eyes and pictures her face.
"I know you're here," he whispers. "I promised you I'd do it, and I'm going to do my best. Now, let's race."
Millard, an alpine skier from Great Britain competing at the Special Olympics World Winter Games in Austria (March 18-24), was 23 when his mother, Jacqueline, died of breast cancer in 2012. He tried to prepare himself for life without the woman he loved to laugh with. The woman who inspired his love for cooking and gardening, who introduced him to skiing at 17, who understood him. The one person in the world he felt he could talk to about anything.
"James has plans and strategies for dealing with almost everything in his life," says Liam de Vanney, head alpine coach for Special Olympics Great Britain. "He talks through everything, shares every thought and emotion. He wears his heart on both sleeves and on top of his hat."
This time, though, Millard was unprepared for how he would feel without his mom. He and his father, David, carried on without her in their Wolverhampton home, but Millard dealt with depression in the months after her death. Then he remembered a promise he made to her shortly before she died. That same year -- January 2013 -- had been a selection year for the SOWWG in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Although he'd been skiing for only a few years, he took gold and silver medals at nationals and believed he would be selected to the team. When he wasn't, he was devastated.
"We told him to keep going, that his day would come," says Candy Wragg, the former head of delegation for Special Olympics Great Britain and a coach for Millard's local ski program. So he picked his chin up and made a promise to his mother that he wouldn't be discouraged, that he would continue to train and do his best to make the team four years later. He would do it for her -- because of how much she had done for him.
"My mom was brilliant," Millard says. "She got me into skiing to help my right leg. My hip rotated in too far and my right foot used to turn in a lot. She thought skiing would help me get my mobility better."
Despite the fact that she herself had never skied, Mom was right. Along with physical therapy, skiing helped to correct the imbalance in Millard's hips. It also gave him a new level of confidence and revealed his love for speed.
"I have no fear when it comes to speed," Millard says. "Going fast is what I do."
Speed was something he developed after he joined the local Special Olympics team, another suggestion from his mom. Millard, who has a learning disability, thrived in the program.
Skiing also helped Millard feel closer to his mother after her death -- as did time spent in the kitchen. He enrolled in cooking courses at his local adult learning center to learn how to shop for healthy ingredients and make meals from scratch.
But on the days at Acker's Adventure, his local ski center, with a 300-foot-long synthetic hill, he strapped into those faded black boots with the red and silver buckles, clicked into his skis and felt his mother by his side.
He did so as often as he could, committing himself to training and a healthier lifestyle. In May 2016, when Great Britain announced the names of the 11 alpine skiers who would go to the 2017 World Games, Millard's name was on the list.
"I couldn't believe it," Millard says. "I trained so hard to get to this. When we got our uniforms, it felt like Christmas. I had to pinch myself to see if I was dreaming. I did it four or five times just to get in my head that I was going."
But making the team wasn't enough. Millard decided that while he'd fulfilled his promise to his mom, he wasn't satisfied. So he moved the finish a little further away.
"I don't count the promise done until I walk in the closing ceremony," he says, before changing his mind. "No. I'm not finished until I get on that plane to go home."
With each sentence, he turns another finish line into a starting point, raises the stakes and extends his commitment to his mom.
"My mom gave me the drive to not give up on anything," he says. "And she was smiling nonstop. My mates say they see her personality in me."
After he and his teammates arrived in Austria, Millard shared a special moment with them, knowing they, too, had helped him to achieve his dream. The team spent two days in the host town of Gemeinde Bad Kleinkirchheim acclimating to the country before traveling to Schladming. On the final morning of their visit, the team's host took them on a walk through the village that culminated at a church on the top of a hill.
"It was a beautiful morning, clear blue skies," says Adrienne Purdie, assistant head of delegation for Great Britain. "It wasn't planned, but it turned into a wonderful moment."
Inside the church, Millard asked Purdie if he could light a candle for his mother. Then his team gathered around him as he gingerly lit his candle with the flame of another, closed his eyes and said a prayer.
"That was something I will never forget," Millard says. "It was like I had more of a connection to my mom, and also to my team."
Sunday afternoon, surrounded again by his teammates, he clicks into his skis and carries his mother with him to the top of the Super-G course, where he races for the first time as a World Games athlete. As he crosses the finish line, he lets out a joyous scream.
"I can't put how I'm feeling into words," he says. Another finish line crossed, another start line beckoning him its way.
After the race, Millard meets his coaches at the finish. After hugs and high-fives, he clicks out of his skis. When he mentions the scuffs on his faded black boots, someone asks if it is time for a new pair.
"I'll never get new ones," he says. "My mom gave me these boots."

Most people are expecting Gran Turismo 6 to be released on the PS4, but that may not be true.
Michael Denny, senior vice-president of Sony WWS, has let it slip that GT6 will be for the PlayStation 3. He revealed that the system will get more games and they haven't stopped focusing on past consoles.
"Look at the games coming out on the PlayStation 3 like The Last of Us, Beyond: Two Souls, GT6, and then on the third-party side of things another fantastic Assassin's Creed, GTA," he revealed in an interview with Silicon Republic.
"It's important for our content to have that kind of longevity because, as I was saying [about the PS Vita], the games that come through are going to get better and better over time."
Now maybe it could be a cross generation title, released on both the PS3 and PS4, but for now it looks like it is definitely coming to the PS3. The system's install base combined with the series' potential to rack up massive sales, ensures this.
This should be a pretty disappointing thing for people who want to see technological progression, since we have already how Polyphony have struggled on the PS3 when it comes to executing their vision. If this title turns out to be cross gen, that would please both groups.
It could also be a slip up from Michael Denny, but considering he was talking about unreleased games like TLuS and Beyond: Two Souls, it seems otherwise.
Drive Club is the racing game that was announced for the PS4, and it looks pretty damn good too.

His live performance at the inaugural Mutek festival in 2000 caught the ear of Force Inc who signed him shortly after, just eking-out Akufen to become the first Canadian on the label. In the era where vinyl still ruled, and digital downloads were just a twinkle in some corporation's eye, Tomas dropped albums on Traum, Klang Elektronik, Revolver, Audio.NL, and more. Since then, a decade and a half of producing has seen Jirku manipulate house on Arbutus Records; hip-hop with his laser-gun-rap project The Killaz; dub on his highly regarded "Entropy" album; electro, ambient, and other experiments that defy genres. With experience performing around the globe and having made his mark on innumerable record labels, Tomas has been honing back in on techno, aiming to maximize the brain and body connection that deep techno can provide. His recent releases on Seattle's Innerflight, Berlin's Thoughtless, Vancouver's Subspec, and Rome's Concrete record labels further prove that the Canadian producer has built a strong repertoire by not doing anything straightforward or ordinary.

"With Election Day fast approaching, AOPA wanted to make sure that our members are aware of this great resource to help them assess how supportive members of Congress have been of general aviation," said Lorraine Howerton, AOPA vice president of legislative affairs.
AOPA's 2012 Voter's Guide on GA Issues in Congress allows an AOPA member to analyze data using a variety of sorting options including presenting the results by member of Congress, political party, district, state, and GA Caucus membership.
AOPA members can view their representatives' and senators' votes on key pieces of legislation, or whether the lawmakers signed GA Caucus letters that stated their opposition to user fees, or objected to the LightSquared threat to GPS, among others. (It is important to note that a House or Senate member who does not belong to the GA Caucus would not have had the opportunity to sign a Caucus letter.)
Complete instructions for sorting the results appear on the Voter's Guide page on the AOPA website.

Kind of strange, but when I go to "Show Applications," and click on Clementine (not saying it's specifically only Clementine, but seems to only occur with this application), nothing happens. I click it again, it opens and operates normally.
I ALWAYS have to do this to open Clementine.
Can anyone recommend a way to debug this, and/or if there is a solution such that I only have to click it once for it to open?

1. Draw Kids...babies, toddlers, preschoolers, k-5: Even if you are someone who illustrates with animals rather than people, drawing children is a great way to then mimic childlike actions, behaviors, and positions in whatever characters you draw. This will in turn, help children identify with your characters better. If you don't have kids of your own to observe and sketch from, go to a playground and spend the afternoon sketching (just try not to look too creepy doing it...bring along one of your published books or pocket portfolio to verify your purpose being there, just in case).
2. Draw objects and background scenes. The most enjoyable part of a drawing for me comes through the main characters. The "hard part" is the background. However, to get a job illustrating picture books, you can't just be good at drawing characters. You almost have to become a landscape painter, an interior designer, an architect, and a set designer all at once. Whew! Who knew being a children's book illustrator was so tough. So, draw and PAINT plenty of THINGS. Draw when you are outside, sketch when you are in the city, paint pictures of interior spaces. Soak it all in!
3. Hone your 2D design skills. Take a 2 Dimensional Design class online or one offered nearby. Design doesn't hone your drawing skills, but to be a good artist/illustrator (especially where books are concerned), you MUST be a good designer. Practice designing compositions with a few basic shapes. I once had to design 100 different compositions using only varying sizes of black circles. After that, I was so grateful and more aware of the varying basic shapes there are to use in compositions. Design itself tells a story. It reflects action, mood, and tone. A simple site like this may offer some online assignments you can do from home.
4. Think about Color. Artists like Maxfield Parrish understood color enough to manipulate it's characteristics. I recommend a simple site like this if you are just beginning http://thevirtualinstructor.com/Color.html or a book. I used Itten's The Elements of Color in college, and I still have it to browse through now and then. However, a hard copy is quite pricey now. For the most part, I would play and experiment with color. Color and value sets mood, tone, voice, and place in every picture book...even if it's black and white. And remember, color won't help if the design is bad.
5. Design your characters. Every main, supporting and background character in a picture book should be designed. Each character needs to look like an individual. Just like every person or animal on earth is unique, so should be your characters. You especially need to know your main characters enough to be able to draw them in any position, mood, or situation and still appear recognizable as THAT specific character.
6. Utilize every page to tell your story by understanding the picture book format. Look at tons of picture books. There are a few rule breakers, but essentially, a picture book must have a page count that is divisible by 8. Most books are 32 pages. I provide a layout map HERE. The front matter can vary slightly, but the text begins on page 4 or 5 and ends on a single page (32) at the end. An understanding of this format will allow you to utilize all the pages you can to tell the story.
7. Design your entire book. After you understand the layout of the book, make sure what you put in it is planned out completely. Draw Thumbnails for each page (many many many different ones). You can print out Thumbnail Sheets Here and Here. Remember most books are about 9x10 or 8.5x11, vertical. It costs the publishers more to do horizontal, or square, etc. So if your book needs to be another format, find out from the publisher what they agree to. When you are done drawing thumbnails, choose the scenes you like best and put them together in order. Make sure your book flows from front to back and that designs from page to page are not repetitive or boring. Make the design reflect the text.
8. Use your illustrations to tell more story than exists in the text. Illustrating most picture books allows for the illustrator to insert some small substory or something extra developed only in the pictures. It can be simple or complex. A few examples:
- In Annie McRae, I added a little brother to the scenes of the book even though he's never mentioned in the text. He interacts with Annie and is even the only fully displayed character in one scene.
- In Heard of Cows, I added a deck of cards that falls off the nightstand and floats through the rest of the subsequent illustrations.
- In Already Asleep, I created a relationship between a cat and a mouse playing through the scenes, culminating with a friendship on the back cover.
- In The Happiest Mommy Ever, I used the book design for the substory element. The scenes in the past are designed in scrapbook form, and the present are vignettes.
- In Tickle Tickle, I never mention a mouse in the text, yet he is integral to the story's plot. This is a more complex example of telling the story beyond the text.
9. Attend Conferences and Workshops. There exists a vast network of professionals in the industry out there sharing their knowledge...utilize it. The SCBWI (Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators) is GREAT for those newer to the industry and I highly recommend their national conferences. Their local/regional chapters often hold beneficial conferences as well. The yearly Writing and Illustrating for Young Readers is an intensive, AMAZING, week-long conference held near Salt Lake City, Utah. In addition, local one-day conferences, like Writing For Charity, often offer a wealth of knowledge for an inexpensive fee and go to a good cause. Beyond the knowledge you gain, you can also network, join critique groups, and meet agents and editors willing to accept your submissions just because you came to that conference.
10. Use a Blog, Website, Print and Social Media. No one will know you and your art exist unless you show them. These days, that's primarily through the internet. Put your best work out there. You can put a small watermark on your images or just make them small and pixelated enough to be limited to web use only. Twitter and/or facebook can be another avenue to share your work AND become connected with like-minded people who encourage your talents. In addition, you can create and print postcard mailers to mail to publishers as promo pieces. They receive tons of these so be creative. Use the mailing list that SCBWI provides to it's members. Make sure you are only mailing to relevant publishers.
Well, that's it. You should be a better illustrator now...well, better informed anyway. Best wishes to you and your book adventures. I hope this was helpful. If so, pass this URL along: http://jujubeeillustrations.blogspot.com/2012/02/10-tips-for-illustrating-childrens.html

Lancashire Archives is fittingly turning to its records to mark the culmination of its 75th anniversary year.
As a grand finale to its "75 Years: 74 Treasures" exhibition, which has been showcased at three different county venues in 2015, it is seeking a 75th treasure selected from items donated to the archives last year.
As decision day approaches, it wants members of the public to help mark the moment in two special ways.
Firstly, there is still time to donate or make a long-term loan of archive items. Any items deposited up to the end of February will be considered for the birthday honour.
Secondly, the public will be asked to help to choose the 75th treasure from a shortlist of anniversary year acquisitions. The winning record will then go on display in the Lancashire Archives on Bow Lane in Preston.
Archive access manager Neil Sayer reports that each year some 200 items – which can range from one document to collections of documents and associated memorabilia, are accepted by the archive.
Recent deposits have included information about the Wreck of the Mexico lifeboat disaster in 1886 when 27 lifeboatmen died, when the Mexico went aground near Southport, Hutton Grammar School records from 1929-1944 and records relating to the Holker estate from 1553-1979, as well as photographs and archives about the Freckleton Air disaster of 1944.
Neil gathered together a range of archives to share with Gazette readers to demonstrate the sheer unexpected variety of records the Bow Lane building is home to, its global reach and its continuing willingness and desire to share those documents with members of the public.
Many are on long term loan, others have been deposited by people who recognise their records have a wider significance and wish to ensure they are preserved in optimum conditions for future generations. He said: "There are nine miles of records going back 900 years. The oldest one is a medieval charter from 1115."
A ship's log from the 18th century chronicles journeys from Lancaster to Cork and on to Jamaica and back.
The log, from the Brigantine Dolphin which had sailed in April 1774, contains delightful drawings of sea creatures as well as sketches of landmark geographical features (useful on a voyages without maps) and lists of cargo.
Most notably, there is a remarkable entry where the author refers to the outbreak of the American War of Independence, noting that the news had arrived in Jamaica: "This day we had the disagreeable news of our English troops on America is come to action and the provincials of bloodshed on both sides."
Neil noted: "The USwas not even the US it was still a colony and this boat had been back and forth across the Atlantic at least six times based on the (log) entries."
Cargo included cotton and mahogany and included one with wood going to Lancaster firm Waring and Gillow.
But first up was a register of voters for the street where I was born, introduced by Neil with the throwaway remark that here was a "fairly dull local council record".
A party piece if ever there was one, as I was able to see who my neighbours were when I was but a babe in arms. Neil said: "We want people to nominate things from the things we receive this year. We get about 200 deposits a year."
Neil is still open-minded about which item could win the coveted "treasure" status and there is still time to donate to the archives – the anniversary year culminates on February 28.
But readers should be aware that the archive is not like a safe deposit in a bank ..it cannot accept everything and will consider each offer of material on its merits and its relevance.
You can find council documents, company documents, personal papers and information from different societies.
The collection even includes a piece of a meteorite, while a more recent deposit contained a soldier's First World War dispatches from Gallipoli.
Some of the delight of finding information from the past is discovering unexpected information by chance. Neil said: "If your ancestor was mad or bad there's a good chance we've got a record of them."
But there may be other records which require a bit of digging as many documents yield references which could not have been predicted.
He sees his job, in part, as trying to bring out the individual stories in the archive and to alert the public to the wealth of research material on their doorstep: "I've been her 23 years now and I am still surprised by some of the things people can find."
Other items seen by The Gazette included documents relating to Belgian refugees lodging in Wyre in 1940 and a file from the Accrington-based national trade union, the Amalgamated Weavers' Association, about a visit to the USSR in 1965 at the height of the Cold War.
Four people, including Frederick Fleetwood, were nominated to go on a fact finding tour to Russia and their reports are contained here, including references to working conditions, wages and prices of goods.
The archive has a cleaning facility to ensure worse for wear documents, affected by damp, mice etc, are preserved.
It would never be possible to digitise the entire archive, said Neil, but would-be researchers can do a preliminary check online to identify what records there are. But that does not, he stressed, compare to "the tactile connection with the archive." The archives also accept digital records.
"We are not, as people think, the repository of secrets. We don't take things to hide them. My job is to allow access, not to deny.
"The point is the 74 treasures are here for people to come and see any time they want them. They are free to access ... they are not over in America or hidden away in some academic institution. As Lancastrians we should all be proud of what we have here."
'Selling archives is just not the answer'
It was recently suggested by a member of the public concerned at county council's impending cuts, including the likely closure of some 40 libraries, that the archives could sell valuable documents and keep copies to raise funds to keep them open.
But, as with the ship's log, a battered notebook with a plain cover, deposited in the mid-20th century, many of its holdings are on long term loan and are not owned by the archive.
Neil said: "We could do it once but what happens next time? It's not an answer.
"If we are here to preserve things and make them available, why would we want to sell them off to somebody else?"
I am writing to apply for the position of executioner
This curious document, from Liverpool prison, entitled "Selection of Hangmen 1890", contains letters from the applicants who wished to put themselves forward for this grisly job.
The would-be executioners ranged from William Guest of St Helens, a railway signalman with six children, to an applicant who maybe ruled himself out by noting that his heart had an "excitable" action and who requested a "table of drops".
Another would-be hangman from Somerset had advised he was an excellent gamekeeper "and goes out shooting with gentlemen".
Anti-fracking card is history in the making
One of the most recent deposits – and so one which could be in the running for 75th treasure, is a card with a special message presented on behalf of 39 fracking awareness groups by protesters who had lined up outside county hall to plead their case as councillors met for a crucial planning meeting.
Archive access manager Neil Sayer explained: "It came from visitors to County Hall. They presented this to county councillors before they made their decision hoping for their support in voting against the fracking."
He stressed: "I don't have a particular opinion on fracking", but he believes the document will provide valuable insights into the county's history in future years.

SWA Reviews The Rise In Apprenticeships And How This Is Benefitting Businesses
Training and consultancy provider, SWA, reviews the rise in the number of apprenticeships and how this has benefited businesses by improving the quality of their staff.
November 7, 2012 (Newswire.com) - SWA, a training provider and consultancy based in the UK, reviews the increase in apprenticeships in the UK and how businesses are benefitting from this work based learning.
An apprenticeship is a work based learning course that provides guidance and support for employees while they gain vocational qualifications that are appropriate to their job role, through a structured and monitored programme from apprenticeship training providers.
The UK has recently seen a rise in the number of apprenticeships since 2010 by over 58%, according to Apprenticeships.org, an online provider of apprenticeship information for the public and businesses. This has meant that many young people were able to get jobs and lower the level of unemployment in the UK greatly.
Businesses have been benefitting from apprenticeships in multiple ways. Various incentives, including grants were put in place to encourage businesses to take on apprentices. As well as these incentives, businesses benefit from the skills and knowledge that apprentices learn while completing their courses, meaning that a business can take on an apprentice that will be able to manage a team at the end of their course.
An apprenticeship is now the route that many young people are taking as soon as they leave school in order to get into work. A Customer Service Representative from SWA added, "By applying to apprenticeships young people are much more likely to come out at the end of their course with a job than if they go to university, as the employer has spent a lot of time developing them and will more than likely want to keep them on. This is why so many young people are now learning through apprenticeships, and at the end of their courses many of them go on to be managers as there are more courses that employers can put them through to create a manager that knows how the company works."
As the UK economy recovers businesses will start to look for employees with higher qualifications once again as they will have more money available to hire more qualified staff. However, through the last few years apprentices have proven their worth to businesses, and the level of young people applying for them is expected to rise even more in coming years.
SWA are training providers and consultants based in the UK. The company offer on the job training courses for employees and directors that are looking to improve their skills. The range of apprenticeships that they offer is ever-increasing, and as more people apply for these courses the range of what they can learn will increase alongside them.

Rubber mulch has all the same benefits of organic mulches, including moisture retention, some weed control, soil-temperature retention and aesthetic appeal. Further, rubber mulch is longer-lasting than wood mulch and won't blow away. Rubber mulch comes in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors, including many varieties that look just like wood mulch. You can use rubber mulch in your flower beds, around trees and shrubs, to disguise drainage devices or French drains, or for creating walkways. Lay rubber landscape mulch in mid-spring, after the soil begins to warm up. A 1 ½- to 2-inch layer of rubber mulch is best for landscaping purposes.
Apply a pre-emergent weed-killer to the areas where you plan to lay the rubber mulch. Pull out all weeds and apply the weed-killer two days before laying the rubber mulch. Follow the directions on the chemical's label exactly.
Calculate how much rubber mulch you'll need to cover the desired areas. Most rubber mulch sellers have mulch calculators you can use. For example, if you're mulching a 6-foot by 3-foot flower bed at a rate of 2 inches deep, you'll need about 3 cubic feet of rubber mulch.
Water any flowers, young trees, shrubs or other plants right before laying the rubber mulch around them. If you're laying rubber mulch in a flower or garden bed where you've just planted seeds, you can insert small flags or sticks so you don't lay mulch directly over the seeds.
Spread the mulch in the desired landscape areas. Rake the mulch to level the area and create a uniform depth of 1 ½ to 2 inches.
