Alison Littlewood's chilling first novel was a huge hit. She spoke to Yvette Huddleston about her latest book.
Debut novelists rarely get published and to secure a three book deal with your first work is virtually unheard of, yet Wakefield-based author Alison Littlewood managed to do just that. A Cold Season, a supernatural chiller set in a snowbound village about a young mother trying to build a new life for herself and her son after the death of her soldier husband, was published in January last year by Jo Fletcher Books.
"I have been writing for years, mainly short stories, and everyone tells you it's impossible to get published so it was a dream come true really," says Littlewood, who worked in marketing before becoming a full-time writer. "I actually got made redundant in the same week that I got the book deal," she says.
The timing couldn't have been better and Littlewood rewarded her publisher's faith in her by attracting the attention of the Richard and Judy Book Club which is guaranteed to boost sales by quite a significant margin.
Her second book Path of Needles was published last week and is a compelling read, focusing on a series of murders which, from the gruesome way in which the victims' bodies are posed, appear to have a connection with fairytales. A young police officer, Cate Corbin, is part of the investigating team and on a hunch she calls in academic Alice Hyland, an expert in fairytales, to assist them on the case.
The book was, in part, inspired by Littlewood's own fascination with folk tales, myth and legend. "I was thinking about the fairytales I had loved as a child," she says.
"Then I started to think about some of the dark and gruesome things in fairytales that you maybe don't really notice or understand as a child – and I thought 'what if those things happened in the real world?'" She began by researching the different variants that exist of fairytales we have all heard of and think we know. "I did quite a lot of reading, but it wasn't a chore," she says. "It was interesting to learn about how stories were passed on and changed."
The nature of her novel's plot meant that she also had to learn more about the detail of police investigations. "I had come from a supernatural thriller background in my short stories, but this took me more into the realm of the crime genre." Like A Cold Season, Path of Needles is set in Yorkshire locations that Littlewood is very familiar with. Local beauty spots such as Sandal Castle and Newmillerdam country park, close to Littlewood's own home, both feature quite prominently. "I like to have at least visited or know a place fairly well before I put it in a story," she says. "You get more of a richness around it. And you can relate to any myths or stories there are about the place." Having written a very successful first novel, some writers can find it quite inhibiting to embark on a second, but Littlewood managed to avoid that difficulty. "I had drafted about three quarters of it when I got the deal for A Cold Season," she says. "I thank my lucky stars that I was already a good way into it and I knew where it was going, otherwise I do think I could have found myself being blocked."
Delving into the darker recesses of human existence and interaction is not necessarily a comfortable way of making a living for most people, and Littlewood admits that she is not quite sure what attracted her to writing this particular kind of fiction. "I think we are all like the little kid hiding under the bed," she says. "I tend to write about things that personally scare me and I'm also fascinated by the fact that, despite all the technological advances we have made, there are still things we can't explain."

Horror, chills and thrills
Alison Littlewood was raised in Penistone, South Yorkshire.
She attended Northumbria University where she originally planned to study graphic design but switched to a joint English and History degree.
She then went into a career in marketing before developing her love of fiction, writing short stories in the horror and fantasy genres.
Her first novel, A Cold Season, was published by Jo Fletcher books in January 2012 and was selected for the Richard and Judy Book Club which described it as "perfect reading for a dark winter's night" .
She lives near Wakefield with her partner Fergus.
Alison's latest book, Path of Needles, is out now.

U.N. experts called on Iraq Tuesday to ensure the safety of seven Camp Ashraf residents allegedly abducted after a deadly attack, the United Nations said.
The attack occurred in September and killed 52 people.
Seven people, including six women, were abducted from the camp, which has been home to 3,000 Iranian exiles and opposition members since the 1980s.
There are allegations that the attack and abductions were conducted by Iraqi security forces, the United Nations said in a release.
"The Iraqi government has a particular responsibility to protect the detainees against human rights violations such as the recent deaths and abductions, and must now instigate independent investigations, end the detention regime, and in the meantime provide effective protection to those who remain in detention," U.N. Special Rapporteur Mads Andenas said.
The United Nations is concerned that the seven missing residents will be returned to Iran, where they may be persecuted or tortured.
The group of experts urged Iraq to clarify the whereabouts of the missing residents and ensure their safety.

Arsène Wenger has questioned whether Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is any more certain of a starting place at Liverpool than he Art Monk Jersey was at Arsenal, as he reflected on the midfielder's £35m summer deadline day move to Anfield.
Oxlade-Chamberlain hopes to face his former club at the Emirates Stadium on Friday night, although it is difficult to say with certainty he will be in Jürgen Klopp's lineup. Since his arrival at Liverpool, the 24-year-old has started five of 15 Premier League games and one of four in the Champions League.
Oxlade-Chamberlain had grown frustrated at being unable to command a regular place at Arsenal and, also, being played by Wenger in a variety of different positions. He wanted a fresh start at Liverpool and the opportunity to carve a niche for Art Monk Jersey himself as a midfielder.
Wenger was asked about Oxlade-Chamberlain's stop-start Arsenal career; he made almost as many appearances as a substitute in the league as he did in the starting XI. Did Wenger accept that Oxlade-Chamberlain was never sure of his place? "Is he sure of a place there [at Liverpool]?" Wenger said, pointedly. "No? That's the answer. You are sure of a place nowhere. In a big club, you have big competition for every http://www.nflgiantsofficialonlinestore.com/GIANTS-DARIAN-THOMPSON-JERSEY single place. That is absolutely normal.
"What do you want? To be a big player and not have to fight? What do you want on top of that – sitting in your rocking chair and saying: 'I'm a big player? I don't need to fight?' No. It doesn't work like that. Every player can do that and Chamberlain does it. I am convinced it's part of being a top player."
Wenger did not want to lose Oxlade-Chamberlain and he offered him a new http://www.nashvillepredatorsofficialonline.com/Adidas-Craig-Smith-Jersey contract to replace the one that had been set to expire in the summer of next year. But the manager's hand was forced, in part, by the club's determination to keep Alexis Sánchez and Mesut Özil – the other key Terron Armstead Youth jersey players who had one year to run. All three had made it plain that they Lamarcus Joyner Authentic Jersey would not re-sign at Arsenal and the club were never going to risk losing all of them as free agents.
"At the end of the day, I decided to sell one," Wenger said. "Chamberlain made his decision and we had to find a compromise to get the best possible transfer out of it. I personally think he will be an important player for England and that he will continue to develop."
At the time of Oxlade-Chamberlain's departure, his Arsenal teammate, Aaron Ramsey, tweeted that he was sorry to see him go. "Another of our British boys heading on to new things," Ramsey added. The day before, Kieran Gibbs had moved to West Bromwich Albion while Carl Jenkinson was loaned to Birmingham City.
There was a time when Wenger considered Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ramsey, Gibbs and Jenkinson, together with Jack Wilshere, to be a British core upon which to build the squad. That has not happened but he was keen to http://www.officialauthentics49ersshop.com/authentic-daniel-kilgore-jersey.html highlight how he was still committed to homegrown talent. In Arsenal's previous two league matches – the 0-0 draw at West Ham United and the 1-0 home win over Newcastle United – Wenger started with three Academy products; Wilshere, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Alex Iwobi, plus Hector Bellerin, who joined the club at 16.
"You look at the other teams at the top and you tell me who has played with four players who have been educated in the academy," Wenger said. "We do that every time we can. It remains the basis of our philosophy. I agree it hasn't always come off as well as would have liked. But if you look at the last 20 years, we are still one of the teams that have put out more young homegrown players than http://www.officialraptorsshop.com/authentic-17-jonas-valanciunas-jersey.html anybody else."

The Sea Wasp, designed by defense and security company Saab, is an underwater safety robot that can be controlled with a remote.
The underwater safety robot uses sonar and an arm to find and move explosives. In some cases, the robot might be able to disable the explosives as well. The robots were built as a response to terrorism, as attacks are not only possible above ground but under the water as well. The device is even able to remove bombs that are attached to ships.
While the prospect of underwater terrorist attacks is highly unlikely, having the capacity to resolve such an issue if it were to arise would potentially save lives and could be very important for defense purposes.

It was a dark, quiet night in Sewanee, Tennessee. No moon or stars. A narrow paved road, dark silent woods on one side, horse pasture on the other. The road to the school's main building and the dormitory for teenage female students. No street lights. My cottage sat a few yards off the pavement, beside the pasture on one side, near a narrow dirt road that led beyond the barn down a winding mountainside to an unknown number of active stills, operated by local moonshiners, studiously ignored by local law enforcement. I'd been warned by our school handymen to turn a deaf ear to the nocturnal trips on the dirt road. "If you don't bother them, they ain't gonna bother you."
The moonshiners were related to the handymen, to all the other daily workers in the small academic town and their relatives who lived in the nearby "hollers", putting bread on the table by selling their "white lightning," or crawling to early deaths on their bellies in the coal mines a few miles away.
Subbing as the school night watchman, I kept my rifle by my bed. About 2 A.M. I heard the sound of a car coming up the road. I jumped out of bed, threw on a dark raincoat and grabbed the rifle.
I could see the outline of a car. No lights, crawling up the road, just enough noise to be scary. Bootleggers usually came by in rusty trucks with grumbling motors. This was the soft purr of a well-maintained motor, coming closer, ominously.
I'd formed a nightly ritual of lifting my gun to the sky, shooting off a few rounds—this seemed to work in keeping interlopers away. The sound of gunshots reverberated through the maze of mountains—it sounded like a whole battalion, with the echoes, not one lone rifle. The shots echoed in the hills. Then I raised the rifle and pointed just above the top of the car. One, two, three shots.
Suddenly, to my horror, a familiar round-shaped red light appeared on the roof of the vehicle.
Ohgodpleasehelpme, I prayed.
I'd almost shot the local sheriff!!!
There are no rules or scripts for such a moment.
Terrified, I lowered the gun and slowly walked to meet the car as it stopped in front of my house. A tall man in uniform, complete with stiff hat and shiny badge stepped out.
"Good evening, Sheriff, I'm so pleased to see you!" I stammered, as if we were at a cocktail party!
I was stiff with fright, aware I had no papers - nothing to show legal ownership of a gun!
Since all the local candidates for the job as night watchman for a girls' school were kin to one another, we'd had no luck in retaining men for that job. Every qualified male was related either to someone who moonlighted as a moonshiner, or their cousins. Families stuck together. No one was going to squeal on or report a bootlegger—or intruder at the dormitory. With the centuries-old customs regarding local "Town and Gown" the dividing lines were deep and strong.
So I decided to try my hand as night watchman. I asked Fred, our chief maintenance man, to get me a rifle. I'd never even HELD a gun—and I figured a rifle would be safer to handle than a small weapon. This was mountain territory where every man hunted. He showed me how to hold, point, load and shoot. I practiced by aiming at the far hills behind the barn and soon felt comfortable in holding the thing. I kept it on the passenger seat of my car when I drove into town at night. The word got around like wildfire—beware that lady at the girls' school with the gun! I felt safe on those lonely dark mountain roads. The moonshiners slowed down their nocturnal trips to their hidden, illegal stills.
After that night, the Sheriff and I remained friendly. He respected the unspoken rules of "Town and Gown." The academics versus the native townspeople. He was Town. I was Gown...
Soon after, a qualified man stepped up to the plate and I had no further need to shoot at the hills in the night.
The establishment of the ruling class in the small university town (often called the Princeton of the South) went on its law-abiding way, keeping a friendly surface peace alongside the illegal moonshine business, that continued to thrive...
I moved on with my life and relocated to Manhattan.
Today if this incident with the Sheriff happened, I'd probably be writing this from a narrow grey cell, sans window, dependent on the state for three squares and a hard cot.
That night in Tennessee took place in real time—but on a different planet!
I have become a spinner of tales around crime. Murder is often our beat. We research crime, we attend trials, we take courses in criminal methodology. Visit jails and psychiatric institutions, study millions of people on subways, planes, streets, in bars and parks.
But after these last years of abominations involving guns, most of us who walk these mean streets take a hard look at how we express violence through guns.
The death of the Martin child in Sanford, Florida, was a recent wake-up call. The increased maiming by guns in Colorado, Arizona and Connecticut have focused us on a deeper examination of the tools we use in our stories.
Our readers see the reality and horror daily on screens. No longer is the written word closed off from real life.
I find my experience that night—knowing I'd almost shot a law enforcement officer—haunts me constantly.
I shrink from writing about a gun as a killing weapon.
My brain sees the experience as both a form of self-preservation and atonement.
Would I shoot at a person again?
We all recall Mary Higgins Clark's famous challenge… "What IF"
That episode in Tennessee will haunt me as long as I live… the " What IF?"
As I think of the various possible endings to my true story—my own crime writing increasingly has a firm center:
"Justice will be served."

OPT Insurance to Assist You in Your CareerFiled Under: Health Insurance
OPT insurance or international student insurance for Optional Practical Training programs allow international students to begin their careers on the right foot. Most OPT programs start immediately after graduation and they allow foreign students to work in the country where they have studied and put their knowledge to practice. In such conditions, Optional Practical Training insurance is an extension of the international health insurance for students for the duration of the training program.
Optional Practical Training programs are a great way to begin your career especially since it comes as soon as you have graduated and you have no actual experience in your field. As much as these programs are appreciated as major contributors to the careers of young graduates, they do not offer the same benefits of full time jobs. International student insurance is no longer valid and you are no longer eligible for it since you have ended your studies. You may not be eligible for employee benefits either and in such a case the only option left is OPT insurance plans. Inexpensive insurance plans are available with higher deductibles and less coverage levels, but very cheap insurance is not recommended either.
The Optional Practical Training insurance is valid between 5 days and 12 months and can be prolonged with 5 additional months if necessary. The OPT insurance covers medical expenses with prescriptions drugs, visits to the doctor's, medical assistance, injuries or accidents, emergency interventions, accidental death and dismemberment. In general, it is best to choose a coverage level somewhere in the middle, not the highest and not the lowest. You should make sure that you can afford the premiums and thus choose a plan that meets your budget.Commenting is not available in this channel entry.

It's been ages since I've done a Cook Up
This time I did one last night for my dear Dad/mīļš Papiņš
who is longer here on Earth with us
It just felt the right thing to do and complete with a Birthday Cake to boot
But first, and very important...which Apron to use
Just this week I received this apron from Trish who recently went over to Provence, France

My Menu from donna hay magazine Issue 87 Jun/July 2016

Adding Sauerkraut to the Meatballs gave a real depth of flavour
Next time I'd like to double the Glaze......it was delicious
I'm a bit like Manu Fieldel (French Chef in Australia) and love my Glazes/Sauces lol
The Meatballs here with the Colcannon
Colcannon (Irish: cál ceannann, meaning "white-headed cabbage") is a traditional Irish dish mainly consisting of mashed potatoes with kale or cabbage. It is also the name of a song about the dish.
(from Wikipedia)
In this dish I used Savoy Cabbage, Leek and Pure Jersey Cream from Tilba
And here is part of the verse.......
Did you ever eat Colcannon, made from lovely pickled cream?
With the greens and scallions mingled like a picture in a dream.........
It was very delicious.......together a lovely tasty combination

Patterned high-neck top by Ruby Rocks, £29 from Stylist Pick* // Sleeveless jacket, £15 from eBay // Origami skirt from BANK (similar version in white here) // Black handbag, £39 from Nica* (coral version here) // Black flatforms, £36 from Fashion Union* // Marc by Marc Jacobs sunglasses, £104 from Sunglasses Shop // Glitter socks from Primark // Watch from Olivia Burton
I'm feeling inspired today, mainly by the Far East. I've always had a fascination with that neck of the woods. The fashion, the culture, the food! It's all right up my street. I think this printed top and embossed Nica bag add a modern, Oriental twist to this outfit. I'm a huge fan of the Ruby Rocks range at Stylist Pick. It's all a bit different, with patterns and textures that seem to stem from different cultures and countries. I definitely think this top was inspired by the Orient, however they've turned it into something really wearable and current with the high neck and boxy tee shape. I'm a sucker for a high-neck these days.
These flatforms (every time I type flatforms, my computer tries desperately to change it to flatworms) are my new fave wardrobe staple. Firstly because they're the comfiest shoes I own at the moment, and secondly because they make me a good 3 inches taller without having the woes of having to walk 'properly' in heels. I have to admit, sometimes I'm a right wobbly wizard when I try and walk in heels - my arms and legs go everywhere! These, however, are incredibly sturdy. It's guaranteed I'll be wearing them all summer.
Hope you're all enjoying the Bank Holiday!! I want to go on a picnic later today, I've been eyeing up all the discounted picnic baskets on the BHS site. Tempting...

Cuba brands US fascists in Christmas decoration feud
A war of words has erupted after Cuban authorities displayed a giant swastika and pictures of tortured Iraqi prisoners in front of the US mission in Havana.
The propaganda stunt was in retaliation for US diplomats' Christmas decoration, which highlighted the plight of Cuban dissidents.
The diplomats awoke on Friday to the sight of two huge billboards opposite the mission's entrance emblazoned with a swastika, the word "Fascists" in bold red letters, and some of the infamous photographs of US troops abusing Iraqis at Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad.
To drum home the point to commuters on one of Havana's busier avenues, the word "Fascists" had a giant "Made in America" stamp on top. The display was opposite the mission's Christmas decorations, which infuriated the authorities because they contained a neon 75, a reference to the 75 dissidents imprisoned by Fidel Castro last year.
Cuba complained about the decorations to James Cason, the chief US representative, and demanded that he take them down. The speaker of the Cuban parliament, Ricardo Alarcon, said the display, which includes a Father Christmas and white lights wrapped around palm trees, was "rubbish" and a "provocation". He said Mr Cason seemed "desperate to create problems".
The US Secretary of State, Colin Powell, chided Cuba, saying its retaliatory move was unwise.
The Associated Press said Mr Powell had refused to back down on the US decorations, which he called a gesture of solidarity with political prisoners in Cuba. "And the Cuban government's response is to put forward and show the world a swastika?" he said.
"We will continue to stick by our troops down there, our diplomats down there and our Christmas display, with the '75'."
When the decorations went up Cuba gave warning of unspecified "consequences". Mr Cason has refused to back down.
Since his arrival two years ago, to the fury of Havana he has met leading dissidents, encouraged their struggle for democracy and dispensed books and shortwave radios.

The lonely struggle of missing Mexican students' parents
There were no tears and their faces were hardened by 19 months of grief and anger as the parents of 43 Mexican students who vanished in 2014 marched in the capital.
Less than two years ago, they would have been surrounded by tens of thousands of people as they protested against President Enrique Pena Nieto's handling of the case.
But this past Tuesday — just two days after foreign experts issued a damning report accusing the government of obstructing their investigation — the protesters numbered only in the hundreds.
While the mass disappearance has tainted Mexico's image abroad, the protests have waned and Pena Nieto's administration is weathering the criticism despite falling approval ratings.
"It's a long struggle and there are few of us," said Emiliano Navarrete, holding a picture of his missing son as he walked down Mexico City's main boulevard, Reforma.
But, Navarrete said, "to shut us up they'll have to kill us."
While he couldn't hide his disappointment at the low attendance, he said the "quality" of the people joining the parents was more important than "quantity."
The parents traveled from Tixtla, a town in the impoverished southern state of Guerrero, where their 43 sons studied at a rural teacher college.
Prosecutors say the students were whisked away by corrupt police in the city of Iguala on September 26, 2014, after they hijacked buses to be used for a future protest.
But the experts of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, who were invited by the government to aid the probe at the parents' request, rejected the central conclusion in the case.
The experts said there was no scientific proof that the students' bodies were burned in a funeral pyre at a garbage dump after they were killed by a drug gang.
– 'International scrutiny' –
The mass disappearance wrecked Pena Nieto's effort to shift attention away from Mexico's drug violence and toward his ambitious economic reform agenda.
But while his popularity has dropped to 30 percent, his Institutional Revolutionary Party and its allies still managed to keep their majority in the lower house of Congress in elections last year.
Clemente Rodriguez, another desperate parent, said Mexicans probably stopped protesting because they bought the government's conclusions in the case.
With the latest protest, Rodriguez said, the families were hoping to "give a boost" to the report published last Sunday by the commission experts, who alleged that authorities tortured suspect and committed "severe irregularities" at a key crime scene.
Vidulfo Rosales, a lawyer representing the parents, said the families of the students are now hoping that "international scrutiny" can help their cause.
While the experts' mission ends on Saturday after their year-long investigation, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights plans to create a mechanism to ensure that Mexican authorities follow their recommendations and new lines of investigation.
– 'Case must not be forgotten' –
The experts "are putting a spotlight on our law enforcement system, which is totally dysfunctional, which tortures, which fabricates and hides evidence," said Denis Gonzalez, human rights program coordinator at Iberoamericana University.
And that makes the government "uncomfortable," Gonzalez said.
"It's not strange that society has become tired and distanced itself," Gonzalez said, noting that the country has suffered from the "psychological warfare" of a "mad war" against narcotrafficking.
Carlos Beristain, a Spanish psychologist and one of the five commission experts, said Mexicans must ensure that their government is held accountable.
"It's very important that this case is not forgotten, that Mexican society pay attention to the situation of the victims," Beristain told AFP.
"It is only this public knowledge, this monitoring of the case that will help the families feel like they are not alone, and for the case to move forward," he said.

The second generation of the Internet is different than the first generation so many things have changed considerably including Internet marketing. However, there are lots of ways that Boston web sites can capitalize on the differences and really market their website as a result. There are many things that can help you market your website from the actual web design to the content on the site and more. The following information will help you understand a little better how to market you Boston website design in the Web 2.0 world.
Links are one of the greatest tools available to you to help you market your website and get more hits. The more links you can get pointing back to your website increases its ranking with the search engines so when someone searches for specific terms your website will have a higher ranking than others that don't have as many links. It takes a little bit of time to get lots of different links but you can do so over time by having other websites list your link, posting your link in directories, and more. When you have lots of links you will see the difference in ranking and traffic to your site.
Another way to market your website is through original content. It might seem crazy, but the more original the content on your site and the more original content is added to your sit the higher your site will be ranked. That goes the same for the more pages you have on the site as well because there is more for the search engines to index.
Pay per click advertising is another great way to market your site and it is an unobtrusive way to get more traffic. You simply bid an amount of money on a certain keyword or keyword set and if your bid is the highest your ad will be ranked number one or wherever it falls among the other advertisers. When people search for a particular keyword they will see your ad and possibly click. You can make money off the clicks as well.
There really are a lot of ways for you to market your website in the web 2.0 world and these are just a few suggestions. If you implement these you will certainly see an increase in traffic and the more work you do on your website your marketing efforts will result.

Today John and I went to the Fish Pond near the campground for breakfast. I had eggs, grits, sausage, and biscuits with a side of gravy. The biscuits were more like rolls. There were all kinds of vintage signs on the walls. It was just one big room. The water and coffee were horrible.
Then we went to the Texas Prison Museum in Huntsville. I wanted to go to Galveston, but was out-voted. Whattabummer that was. We saw Old Sparky, though I don't think I looked directly at it. I took a picture of Jane in front of it. There were stories of death row inmates and escapes and hostage standoffs. There were samples of what inmates made from soap and ways they concealed contraband. I didn't like it at all.
I'm looking forward to leaving Texas tomorrow for Louisiana. These states are right next to each other, but very different, it seems. Texas will throw you in jail then maybe pardon you if you're nice enough, or just throw you in the chair. Louisiana probably hands you a drink on the way in.
Along the highways are frontage roads that run one way, following the highway. There's must be an invisible line between El Paso and Austin/San Antonio and Houston. Mexican food on the west side, then steak and barbecue in the middle, then seafood/southern/Cajun on the east side.
John noticed that if you're listening to the radio or watching tv, you're constantly reminded which state you're in – Texas! People say Texas as often as possible. And God bless you. And what the hell is that crazy socialist Obama doing? We have to protect our country and constitution.
Tonight the Houston Texans are playing the Kansas City Chiefs in a wild card playoff game, then the Steelers are playing the Bengals. I hope it goes well for Pittsburgh. There's also a powerball drawing for $900 million. We bought tickets and I just invited friends to send me money via paypal for a facebook pool. Wouldn't that be fun?

This product recognizes bands of approximately 90kDa and 120kDa in whole cell T47D lysates, corresponding to phospho PR-A and PR-B respectively.
Progesterone receptor (PR) is a member of the steroid hormone receptor superfamily, and is expressed in a range of tissues, including ovary, endometrium, uterus and placenta, and may play a key role in the regulation and differentiation of mammary glands,
The detection of estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors using immunohistochemical staining , has gradually replaced ligand binding assays (LBA), to become the most common method for the determination of the ER/PR status of breast tumors. Approximately 75% to 80% of breast tumors have estrogen and/or progesterone receptors, and the presence of these receptors helps determine both the patient's prognosis and the effectiveness of hormonal therapy.

"The Passersby" is a short film and part of a larger project called BATESIAN, the collaborative international filmmaking experience. In this fictional world of skill transfer and trade, one New York City businesswoman has no skills to offer--and loses herself in a plot to corrupt the skill transfer corporation that simultaneously employs and demeans her.
"The Passersby", short film script by US screenwriter Andre Rios, focuses on the crushing scrutiny we place on ourselves and one another, exacerbated by a technology and trade that makes our abilities redeemable as commercial goods. Berta, a kind and timid woman employed by Globability. a major corporation in New York City, exists in a lonely cell of an office, unable to donate skills her own company deems unsellable. No one knows her name except her insecure boyfriend, Paul, an artist dependent on Berta for affirmation, absorbing her compliments while feeding her none. When Berta reaches her breaking point, unable to tolerate her own mediocrity and invisibility, she rebels against the comopany--interfering with its technology--severs her poisonous relationship with Paul and scares off her demeaning coworkers, eventually isolating herself completely and accepting her status as the "anti-skill".
Batesian, the colaborative filmmaking experience, is an international transmedia project currently in a purely filmmaking phase, in which writers, directors, actors, editors...everyone involved in the creative process...cooperate for the collective goal of building a communal, fictional universe: a believable world in which skills can be extracted from human donors, packaged and sold to consumers. What are the possibilities, risks, harms and catastrophes within this Batesian world? Various projects will play with the potential within this universe.
Our international crew is going to work for free on the entire project, but we would love to pay the related production expenses (including 2 EU-CAN flights, locations, catering for the crew, local travel costs and a little budget for the promotion of the released DVD and its distribution).
We are still aiming to do high-quality film with very little resources and 100% commitment.
While our headquarters is in Vienna, Austria, the aim of the Batesian project is to involve filmmakers, actors and writers from different countries around the world. Therefore, we partnered with Jules Saulnier, organizer of Kino00 in Montreal, to produce a short in his hometown. We would love to include talent local to Montreal as well as from other parts of the world. But to do so, we must first raise funds!
Joe Berger, director: AUSTRIA
Joe is an Austrian director, DOP and studied at the Vienna's film academy. While he has lots of experience working in the Austrian and German film industry, he is always curious to try out new things. As a director, he produced music videos and image films, as well as a children's TV show.
"I'm looking forward to working together with such an international team on the set of "The Passersby". It will surely be a challenge to build up the tension and suspense in this story that only plays in one room with one character. But if it all comes together I think the film will be well worth the effort and I can't wait to get started!"
Inka Malovic, actress - main female role
Inka Malovic is a professional, bilingual actress trained at 'The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute' in New York City, currently residing in Montréal.

Philipp Kaindl, producer of the BATESIAN project: AUSTRIA
After having studied something completely different, Philipp co-founded kino5 and started making short films and documentaries in Vienna in 2004. Fresh ideas together with a good story and the emotions they trigger are what fascinates me in the films I watch. He also has a soft spot for the absurd and the slow – both can work wonders if the timing and the dosage are right. He loves to try out new things and to gain experience as he goes along, which is what the BATESIAN film project is all about…

Most Helpful Girl
It depends on the guy more than anything. But my dude wears glasses and I like them.
It depends on the guy more than anything. But my dude wears glasses and I like them.
Have an opinion?
well, some guys look great in glasses, and some look awful. if you don't think you look good in glasses, you can always get contacts, but if you look good, you shouldn't have a problem with girls. a lot of girls I know actually prefer guys with glasses.
I don't mind them. But if you're worried about them, you could always try contacts (just clear, don't try to hide your real eye color, please).
Aviator Sunglasses in black are really attractive on a guy.Only take them off when you're inside a place.
I don't mind a guy with glasses. It can grow on me depending on the guy ;)
Yes, I think glasses look quite fetching on a lot of guys. :)
Couldn't care less if a guy wears glasses or not.
I love the black rimmed glasses the best.
its cute
i ove them
Well I don't really like them.
I like guys with or without them.
My boyfriend looks really cute in his =)
Sucks it hides his pretty eyes though..
It doesn't matter much to me. Some guys do look reallyyy good in glasses, though.
I think glasses on a girl often call attention to their eyes... and can really add to a girl... perhaps not all the time, but it can be anywhere from a sophisticated to an almost geeky look... and both can be extremely attractive!
well depends oin the style of the glasses id say.

Rapper T.I. Gets an Early Release From Prison
Although his attorney initially denied the reports, looks like they were true — early Wednesday morning, rapper T.I. was indeed released from an Arkansas prison.
He'll serve out what little remains of his sentence at an unidentified halfway house.
Upon being sprung, T.I. tweeted, "Feels great to be back where I belong … back in the arms of those who need me the most … The storm is over & da sun back out. IT'S OUR TIME TO SHINE SHAWTY!!!!! Welcome to the beginning of our Happy Ending!!!!"
The Atlanta-based rapper was already on probation for possession of a controlled substance when he was arrested in September. Two months later, he began an 11-month stint for the probation violation at an Arkansas federal prison.

About the Book
Until Duke Bradley, private eye, came across it.
Now Duke is running between an obsessive cult leader, a self-proclaimed vampire, and a disgraced dentist, all the while dodging legal prosecution and doing his damnedest to hold onto his relationship with Shriya.
In this second installment of the Duke Bradley mysteries, Duke and Special Agent Shriya Thakur of the FBI find themselves in the middle of Akron's gritty subculture as they take on the cold case murder mystery of Harmony Bane.
Get it today on Amazon!
Keep reading for an excerpt:
Seven months after I shot and killed Vinnie Torlino in self-defense, the city of Akron got this new assistant chief prosecutor who had it in for me. Now this guy, Robert Wells, is a special kind of jerk. He convinced the suits in the ivory tower to let him reopen the investigation of the Torlino incident, even though I'd been cleared of any charges. He liked to toss around the term 'Vigilante Justice'. Apparently he got wind of the medical examiner's opinion that Torlino would have sucked air for another twenty to thirty minutes after I stuck my slim jim in his throat. Plenty of time to get him to a hospital. And that he was probably no longer a threat before I plugged him with his own bullet. I told Wells to bring it on. Because I'm here to tell you that I'm not a vigilante. I'm a private eye. Duke Bradley, Private Eye.
I didn't have time for that jerk. I had other balls in the air. The three-minute egg of fame I'd enjoyed after bringing down that human trafficking circus was gone, and the five grand reward I got from the FBI for solving the Karen Linford murder had already evaporated. Cases were tapering off and I'd just gotten stiffed on a skip trace by a landlord looking for a tenant who went on the lam. Found the guy in less than a day, then waited two to report it just to make it look good. Then all I got was stories and excuses instead of payment. Things were getting hairy in a hurry.
That's when I met Harmony Bane. She was young, Gothic, and dead. Just twenty years old, she'd been sliced up, gutted, and stuffed into the trunk of her own car like a hunted deer. The Harmony Bane murder is one of the strangest cases I've ever agreed to take on. And it taught me a little about acceptance.
It was 8:10 p.m. on a sticky-warm July night. I walked out of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, where I'd been attending my regular Thursday night AA meeting. I didn't feel much like sticking around for punch and cookie time. With this new prosecutor looking up my dress and my lack of real cases, I wasn't the greatest company.
The sun was just starting to set and the traffic on West Market Street was down to a trickle. Typical summer night in Akron, Ohio. One that hangs on to the heat of the day, but can still put a chill down your spine. I smoked half a cigarette, then hopped the bus going downtown. My Taurus was in the shop.

About Us
Near the start of the 21st century, a new fact emerged. The majority of the world's population is now made up of city dwellers. Megacities, urban slums, international migration, the global city – new realities mean new opportunities and challenges. Theological education, missionary practice, and the local church are experiencing the impact of our new urban world. Facing contemporary challenges leads to the need for contemporary resources.
Urban Loft Publishers was first founded in Portland, Oregon, a city embodying urban creativity and contemporary innovation. As a publishing company, we are forging the space for a thoughtful discussion around the themes of ministry and theology in an urban landscape. When theologians, missiologists, seminary students, and local church leaders reach for a new book to help them address these new challenges, Urban Loft Publishers will work to put new resources for an urban world in their hands.
It is our task to provide fresh perspectives on contemporary urban contexts. We invite veteran urban ministers as well as newer missionaries to the city, urban anthropologists and social scientists, theologians and missiologists, each to add their voice to the conversation about God's mission in a world of cities.
Renewing the city is the central theme and focus of what we publish. It is our intention to blend urban ministry, theology, urban planning, architecture, urban design, stories, and the social sciences, as ways to drive the conversation.
