After 11 years of teaching writing courses, we’ve noticed that the students who succeed as writers were not necessarily those who could craft the best sentences or tell the best story. They were the students who wrote often. They persisted. They got the job done.
Our Basics of Creative Writing Course tutor, Helen Brain, swears that success eventually comes to those writers who are “most able to keep their bums glued to their seats”.
So here are seven tips to help you stay motivated and determined on your journey as a writer.
Setting unrealistic writing goals is a sure-fire way to make your writing dream unattainable. For example, starting the year with a resolution to write 1000 words per day, every day, on top of a day job, isn’t going to cut it. That’s what Steven King manages after decades of full-time writing and over two dozen blockbusters to his name.
As a beginner writer, rather start small. Two hundred words per working day add up to 1000 by Friday, which is a good deal better than zero because you felt entirely demoralized after a disastrous Monday writing session.
Your goals must be achievable. You can always up or lower the count if you find your initial goal isn’t working. Work out what works for you, rather than give up on your big dream.
Where do you want to be by December this year, and how exactly will you get there?
Studies have found that participants who wrote down specific actions required to achieve their goals were three times more likely to achieve their goals than those people who just wrote down their dreams.
By Friday I will have written 1000 words: 200 per day. I will write between 9 am and 11 am in my study each day.
By end of January I will have completed one publishable short story of 2000 words. I will write 200 words per day, allow one week of rest and one week for editing and polishing.
This year I aim to enter four international writing competitions. I will complete four stories of 2000 words each. I will complete a story by end-April, end-July, end-September and end-December.
I will write three feature articles by end-February. I will spend two weeks per article, researching, interviewing, writing, editing.
I will spend two hours each Monday between 8 pm and 10 pm brainstorming article ideas.
I will spend one hour per day following the news, Twitter and Facebook and collecting article ideas and taking notes.
So take an hour or two to get your dreams translated into measureable, specific actions and goals.
All writers have bad days. Accept it. It doesn’t mean you should give up; what it does mean is that you might have a better writing day tomorrow.
Author of the best-selling book The Artist’s Way, Julia Cameron, says that what defines a writer is showing up at the page, no matter what. It means writing, regardless of your headache, hangover or hang-ups. It means doing your assignments in spite of all your excuses.
We all have busy, full lives. So what? Don’t let that prevent you from completing 20 minutes of writing every day.
In the writing courses we offer, we emphasise the importance of a writing schedule.
We’ve seen super-talented writers fizzle out halfway through the course solely because they couldn’t stick to their routine.
On the other hand, those writers who sent in their assignments like clockwork delivered the goods, literally. Once they had a product that they had polished several times over, they could submit it for publication. That’s one solid tick on the bucket list.
Here’s what some famous writers say about the benefits of a writing routine and persevering at it.
Once you have your writing goals in place and have set up a writing time, stick to it. Again, make your routine realistic and manageable. Figure out if you work best at night, or first thing in the morning. Do you write best in a coffee shop, or staring at a blank wall? Do the words flow when you write in silence or when you listen to music?
Use web apps like www.habitforge.com to send you daily writing reminders. Join writing groups online for daily inspiration to write, such as the Writers’ College on Facebook or on Google Plus.
All writers have s ecret niggling doubts about anything from their plotlines to their writing ability. Let me repeat that. ALL WRITERS HAVE DOUBTS. The key is to identify your hidden insecurities and know how to overcome them when they surface.
When you notice these beliefs emerging (and the inevitable depression that goes with them) you need a plan of action. For some, this may be going for a walk and letting the writing rest for an hour or two. It might mean reading some positive feedback you have received about your writing. Phoning a friend could help, or emailing your tutor.
The point is: at some stage you will have doubts about your writing. The trick is not to let them de-rail your writing. Over time, as you build your confidence and writing muscle, these doubts will not only become less frequent, but you will also get better at managing them.
The point is: at some stage you will have doubts about your writing. The trick is not to let them de-rail your writing.
Join a discussion group for writers, a writing circle, read writing blogs, take a writing class. It is vital to keep learning about your craft. Connecting with like-minded individuals keeps you motivated and enthusiastic. Writing can be a lonely business and finding out that most writers encounter the same obstacles and have the same concerns can be comforting and inspiring. You can find writing circles in the UK here, South Africa here, New Zealand here and Australia here.
If the idea of a group doesn’t appeal to you, share your writing goals with one or two trusted writing companions. Suddenly your projects will seem more real. However, talking about a writing project before it is written has its pros and cons. Find out if it works for you.
One of the most common fears we hear from our students is: “I have written something, but it is so bad, I cannot hand it in.” When you write a first (or even a second) draft, give yourself permission to write a load of tosh. It is relatively easy to edit a poorly written 1500-word article or short story; it is impossible to edit a blank page.
All you writers out there – get your assignments written. Switch off your left-brain, mingy, pessimistic editor. First leave the editing and critiquing to your tutors, and ultimately, for when you tackle your final draft.
Apply these seven tips to your writing life and let’s make this year your most successful ever.

text: Only 60 miles from Anchorage, Whittier is the Gateway to adventure in Prince William Sound. Dense groves of spruce trees grow along the rugged shoreline of Chugach National Forest protecting this incredible ecosystem. Within the Chugach, the second largest national forest in the United States, is a vast wilderness area. Prince William Sound is one of the few areas in the world that such a large concentration of glaciers can be seen in a relatively small area. The Sound is made up of many deep fjords with tidewater glaciers that calve before your eyes, and islands around every turn. The serenity found here beckons all to a place where you learn the real meaning of the word “beauty”. Visit Whittier and see wildlife, beach comb and pick berries while walking along the harbor or hiking the Portage Pass, Salmon Run or Horse Tail Falls trails. Whittier businesses are the starting point for your Prince William Sound adventure offering a variety of water-related recreation including day cruises, fishing charters, kayak tours and scuba diving. Winter activities include snow shoeing, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. Fishing is a popular sport for all ages. The annual silver salmon run in late August or September is a favorite with anglers. Keep an eye open for local salmon and halibut derbies during the summer. Birds are also in abundance. Watch eagles soar above the trees or see thousands of seabirds gather in their nesting grounds at the kittiwake rookery located across Passage Canal from Whittier. To reach Whittier, you’ll drive through North America’s longest vehicle tunnel – the 2.5-mile Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel. The World War II-era train tunnel was converted into a unique railroad and vehicle tunnel in 2000. Visit the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel website for a schedule and additional information. Whittier has a mild maritime climate. Be prepared for cool wet weather. Rain jackets are essential and casual comfortable clothing is the rule.

If you are being contacted about a debt that is a simple contract debt, and you think it may be statute-barred, you can use the sample letter Time has run out to recover the debt. Write to the creditor telling them about the Limitation Act. Keep a copy of any letters you send.
A council should not go to the magistrates’ court and ask for a liability order for council tax, more than six years after the council tax became due. This is under Regulation 34(3) Council Tax (Administration and Enforcement) Regulations 1992.
To recover overpaid benefits, the DWP and local authorities can use the normal County Court route. There is also a fast-track process of registering the debt in the County Court, as if it were payable under a county court order. If this happens, contact us for advice.
However, if you are getting ongoing benefits, the DWP or council can take money directly from your benefit or wages to repay overpayments. The rules can be complicated. Contact us for advice.
If you think your joint debt might be statute- barred, you need to check if the other person has made any payments. If they have made a payment within the limitation period, this means the time limit restarts again for both of you.
If the other person has not made any payments, but has admitted to the creditor that they owe the debt, the time limit will only restart for them and not for you.

Today, Tanzania announced that it is launching the world’s largest drone delivery service to provide emergency on-demand access to critical and life-saving medicines. Beginning in the first quarter of 2018, the Tanzanian government will begin using drones to make up to 2,000 life-saving deliveries per day to over one thousand health facilities, serving 10 million people across the country.
The drones and delivery service are built and operated by Zipline, a California-based automated logistics company. In October of 2016, Zipline and the Government of Rwanda launched the world’s first national drone delivery service to make on-demand emergency blood deliveries to transfusion clinics across the country. Since the October launch, Zipline has flown more than 100,000 km, over 1,400 flights to deliver 2,600 units of blood.
Throughout both the developed and developing world, access to life-saving and critical health products is hampered by what is known as the last-mile problem: the inability to deliver needed medicine from a city to rural or remote locations due to lack of adequate transportation, communication or supply chain infrastructure. The result is that all too often someone in need of lifesaving care does not receive the medicine they need to survive.
Tanzania will make on-demand drone delivery of blood transfusion supplies, emergency vaccines, HIV medications, antimalarials and critical medical supplies like sutures and IV tubes. Working in conjunction with the Tanzanian Ministry of Health and the country’s Medical Stores Department (MSD), Zipline will establish four distribution centers across the country.
The first distribution center, located in Dodoma, the country’s capital, will begin its first flights in the first quarter of 2018. Three additional distribution centers—two in the northwestern corner of Tanzania near Mwanza and Lake Victoria, and one in the Southern Highlands near Mbeya—will follow, working in close collaboration with civil and military aviation authorities.
Each of the four distribution centers will be equipped with up to 30 drones and is capable of making up to 500 on-demand delivery flights a day. The drones can carry 1.5 kilos of cargo, cruising at 110 kilometers an hour, and have a round trip range of 160 kilometers. Health workers place delivery orders by text message and receive their package within 30 minutes on average. Zipine’s drones take off and land at the distribution center only, requiring no additional infrastructure at the clinics it serves. Deliveries happen from the sky, with the drone descending close to the ground and air dropping the medicine to a designated spot near the health centers.
Leading global health researchers from the Ifakara Health Institute and the University of Glasgow will evaluate the impact of Tanzania’s drone delivery service on the clinics it will serve in Dodoma. The research will be supported by the Human Development Impact Fund and Saving Lives at Birth, an initiative led by the US Agency for International Development.

Purchase contracts: Deposit required to seal the deal?
November 21, 2016 — It's a question we often get on the Florida Realtors Legal Hotline: Is earnest money required to make a contract legal and binding. The answer: no.
Deposits are often provided as evidence of a buyer's commitment to the purchase, but they are not required by law. A binding contract to purchase real estate only requires consideration. Consideration is defined as something of value offered for something else of value.
According to the Florida Bar, "The formation of a contract is accomplished when there is an offer and acceptance between the contracting parties of the exchange of 'consideration' (that is, something of value). This offer and acceptance are sometimes referred to as a 'meeting of the minds.' If the parties have not reached a meeting of the minds, then there is no agreement." In the case of a real estate purchase contract, the consideration the buyer is offering is the purchase price in exchange for the deed to the property.
Most purchase contracts contain a section to indicate the amount of an escrow deposit and when it's due. Purchase contracts also usually contain a liquidated damages clause that entitles the seller to keep the deposit if the buyer defaults. Liquidated damages are common in real estate purchase contracts, even though the parties are agreeing what the remedy is for the other side in the event the buyer defaults.
If you as the listing broker receive a contract that is either cash or 100 percent financing with a deposit amount of "0," you must present it to the seller. This contract is valid despite the lack of an earnest money deposit. You may explain to the seller that because there's no deposit, there is nothing for the seller to keep as liquidated damages if the buyer defaults. Buyers and sellers can negotiate these terms just like all other terms of the agreement.
Some sellers look at a lack of deposit as unfair. Why, they ask, would they remove their house from the market if the buyer is not serious enough to put down a deposit? A seller certainly may insist on a deposit before agreeing to the contract; this is allowable if the buyer agrees. However, it is not legally required. In addition to a deposit, sellers will also sometimes ask for other requirements like proof of funds or a prequalification letter.
Transactions come in all shapes and sizes. Realtors do well to understand some components of contract law to assist them in working with buyers and sellers. All parties should review purchase contracts carefully, preferably with an attorney, to understand their rights under the agreement in the event the other party does not perform as promised.

Disclaimer: This part would be more a testimony than an analysis of French cinema.
I have been working in the Film Business for some years now. I have always been a movie lover. I could feel it deep inside me even when I entered my Business School. At that time, I was predestined to work in the Luxury Business. You know, “Paris, capital of Fashion”… I did have my first professional experience in this field. And I have some stories to tell you about. Have you seen The Devil Wears Prada (2006)? Pretty much the same.
I worked for a small Paris-based production company. It was my first time working with producers. I only worked as a distributor and sales agent until that time.
He was right, but I didn’t realize it until I immersed myself in Film Festivals, box offices, discovering what is at stake, how the cash machine works.
There is the director who makes a film to make money, to entertain viewers, and the director who makes movie for pride, for prize, to move us, to disturb us. Usually, directors who favor their work, face difficulties with their producers. (Coucou la Weinstein Company!).
So I asked my ex-boss in which category he thinks he belongs to. “The second one” he said. Yet I remember walking around in the subway station, seeing these huge movie posters from his company, promising the viewers a giant American-style French blockbuster. He told me that he failed eventually, to produce an such a movie. I was working for this company when they released a Palme d’or winner‘s newest movie Entre le murs (2008). It got several prizes in 2014. But less than 50 ,000 people went to the cinema to see it. You don’t need to be a movie professional to know that this is a failure for a company, even though this film was multi-awarded and very well-directed. Truth is, prize doesn’t bring in money. However, cash had never been this director particular goal--He is an artist, he knows it, but he is so humble at the same time. And trust me, this attitude is very rare nowadays.
It was terribly exciting to work close to directors, to meet actors and not-so famous celebrities. You know, this particular kind of person who starred in a low-budget movie but feels like an Academy Awards winner.
I remember the first time I attended Cannes Film Festival. I was a film buyer at that moment. It means I was allowed to walk on the red carpet alongside glamourous American actors. It also means that I was able to attend many private parties. I was a newcomer in the Film Business (I believe I am still one) so I was following my boss everywhere, introducing myself to our partners in deals. My ex-boss told me that working in this field was a matter of subterfuge.
“Go to the parties, you have to be seen in public. People must know your name if you want to survive”. He said.
Indeed. I had to greet some studios representatives with a big smile, wishing them the best for the future. I was literally hitting on them. The reason? I wasn’t not only a film buyer, I was a junior TV sales executive. My boss and I needed these persons to have a deeper look at our TV series and movies. Everybody knows everybody in the French entertainment business. Be a jerk once when making a deal, and you will be a jerk your entire life. Reputation is all you have. It’s your most precious thing.
And I unexpectedly liked it. Going to the parties, having a drink with the French first lady (who-is-not-really-our-first-lady-but-kind-of), with some French actors I really hate (But I liked the fact I was pretending to fangirl), trying to get along with Sales Executives and TV buyers from big companies. If reputation is everything, I hope I made good impression.
I also discovered that, first I was naïve, second, when you want to step in the film industry, when you have interviews to enter a distribution company, a pretty face is a huge advantage. HOW COULD I NOT KNOW THIS?
Was it my case? I truly don’t know. I am not the prettiest girl you ever seen, but on good days I am charming as hell. I remember this particular day when my ex-bosses tried to find somebody to come after me. I selected resumes which I found the most interesting and with the required skills. A month after, they chose, I must confess, a very beautiful but dumb woman with no professional experience. I heard later on that my ex-bosses were known in the film industry for their standards. Reputation guys, reputation.
We are in August 2015, I am still wondering if they chose me for my skills, for my beautiful greyish eyes, or as a plan B.
Pretty sure it wasn’t for my breast.

This week Eddie Izzard is hoping to complete his sensational 27 marathons, in 27 days challenge, across South Africa for Sport Relief.
The comedian set off from Mvezo, the birthplace of Nelson Mandela on Tuesday 23rd February and is trying to finish in Pretoria on Sunday 20th March – where he will run two marathons in one day, in order to pick up distances he missed whilst ill early on in the attempt.
The route traces the story of Mandela’s life taking in the university he attended and Robben Island where he was imprisoned for 18 out of his 27-year prison sentence.
Eddie’s final run will take in the Union Buildings where Mandela gave his inaugural speech as the first democratically elected President of South Africa in 1994.
So far he has run in conditions of up to 42°C and on Saturday 27th February, day five of the challenge, Eddie was advised by a doctor to undergo precautionary blood tests in Queenstown, to check his kidneys were working properly.
He was then given a clean bill of health and then continued his fifth run. After 30k he suffered from dehydration but recovered and he was allowed to run on.
To ensure Eddie maintains optimum health during the rest of his challenge he will take a break during the peak time South African sun – before starting again in the afternoon to complete his marathons.
The Marathon Man feat of endurance follows Eddie’s last Sport Relief challenge in 2009, when he completed 43 marathons in 51 days across the UK, raising over £1.8m.

Why you should write a will?
70% of people die without first making a Will. If there are no living relatives, HMRC will inherit these assets. Making a Will is the only way to ensure that you decide what happens to your money and property.
Greyhound Rescue Wales are really lucky to have Hugh Jenkin's Solicitors on hand!
During 2018 Hughes Jenkins will be helping to support and raise money for this worthwhile cause by offering a “Free Will” service where the firm will agree to donate time for free to members of the public in return for which they will be asked to make a donation to the charity, and also in providing legal advice to GRW.
Commenting on this exciting initiative director Nigel Jenkins said “we are delighted to support this local charity which has a high street presence in our local town of Blackwood. For a number of years, we have at Hughes Jenkins run a “dog friendly” office with directors and staff encouraged to bring their own dogs into the office. The feedback from clients on this initiative has been hugely positive and supportive”.
Please visit http://hughesjenkins.co.uk/ for more information.
This is called a pecuniary bequest. The only disadvantage with naming a specific sum in your Will is that the real value of such a bequest will become eroded over time. It may be that the real value of your gift ends up being far less than you intended.
This is called a residuary bequest. One of the best ways you could help the Greyhound Rescue Wales is to consider leaving us the residue of your estate – the share of your estate that is left after you have taken care of your family and friends. This has several advantages: you know that you have made adequate provision for your family, and that any legal costs will be paid. You also know that whatever is left over is going to a wonderful cause – helping to protect greyhounds and lurchers.
If you already have a Will, a simple "Codicil" can be added to change any of the provisions in it.
If you decide that you want to help GRW, then the person who helped you with the original will can advise you on adding a Codicil. This is an easy and inexpensive process.
If you have included a bequest Greyhound Rescue Wales in your Will, please let us know. It helps us to know that we are getting in touch with the people who count, and we can then ensure that you are kept up to date with our work.

The Open Cloud Manifesto was released today to a flurry of comment and criticism from the media, including GigaOm, eWeek, ZDnet, and others. This comes after last week’s post from Microsoft, complaining about the closed nature of the manifesto’s development. Although few can argue with any of the broad principles in the document (including us), criticism has arisen from lack of openness, goals and motives of the group, lack of clear process going forwards and absence of key cloud providers on the list of signatories.
The cloud market is still nascent and, at this stage, cloud vendors and open source initiatives will work aggressively to seek competitive differentiation. When a coalition of vendors sees the benefit in standardization of a set of technologies based on customer feedback, they will create a standard to enable them to differentiate in other areas. We believe that allowing vendor coalitions to compete and standards to eventually emerge will ultimately lead to ‘open clouds’ faster than a single standards process. In some cases, major vendors will use their market position to set standards rather than engage in a standards process. However, we think that ultimately innovation, competition and customer focus will lead to choice for consumers of cloud services.
At Skytap, we’re firm believers in interoperability and openness. We’ve been talking about open cloud solutions for a while. In fact, we’re one of the only cloud providers that can take any application that runs on a x86 virtualized platform and run it unchanged in the cloud. We support Microsoft operating systems, open source operating systems and a broad array of development platforms. We’ve been engaged in the cloud interop discussions, have demonstrated multi-hypervisor support, and most importantly advocate for our customers who provide us with feedback and requests for interoperability. For now, we’re not planning to sign up for the open cloud manifesto until its future becomes clearer. However, we will continue to be very involved in the industry dialogue going forward.

Keeping Christ in Christmas might be difficult for some.
But it isn’t for parish religious education programs, Catholic schools and ministries, food pantries and many families as they make spiritual and service efforts to keep Christ at the heart of the holidays.
Those works of faith and mercy – highlighted in this and the next two issues of the Catholic Voice – reflect Archbishop George J. Lucas’ Christ-centered pastoral vision and priority plan announced last month: One church, encountering Jesus, equipping disciples, living mercy.
As part of the series, click here for a story that looks at the importance of Advent – a time of quiet and preparation for Christmas that begins Nov. 27. Ideas for marking the special season also are highlighted.
Another story outlines some of the holiday needs at several food pantries in the archdiocese, and click here to read about an Ignatian spirituality program for the homeless that is seeking financial help this Advent season and beyond.
In the Dec. 2 issue, the Catholic Voice will focus on the ways two families in the archdiocese mark Advent with traditions intended to keep Christ in Christmas, including a special prayer book, reading Christmas stories to their children and making ornaments that honor the saints.
The Dec. 2 issue also will look at the Christmas pageants, food drives and other events at Catholic schools and parish religious programs that center on Christ and his teachings.
The Dec. 16 issue will showcase how several priests, born in other countries and now serving in the archdiocese, celebrate Christmas far from their homelands.
Another article will tell the story of December prayer services held in memory of men and women who have experienced homelessness and who died this past year.
Also Dec. 16, the newspaper will announce the winning artwork from its Colors of Christmas art contest. Once again this year, the contest also helps the needy, with Woodhouse Auto Family donating one can of food per entry to food pantries in rural areas of the archdiocese.

After a moderate second quarter, Gerresheimer AG expects revenues to recover in the second half of the year. "Revenues decreased slightly in the second quarter as anticipated. We expect that our business will visibly pick up again, especially in the fourth quarter," said Uwe Röhrhoff, CEO of Gerresheimer AG.
In the second quarter of the financial year 2017 (March 1, 2017 to May 31, 2017), Gerresheimer generated revenues of EUR 339.5m, 2.2% lower than the EUR 347.3m recorded in the prior-year quarter. On an organic basis - meaning at constant exchange rates and adjusted for acquisitions and divestments - revenues decreased by 3.7%. In line with expectations, there was lower demand for medical plastic systems from a number of pharma customers where Gerresheimer is the sole supplier. This effect was amplified by postponements of customer orders in the inhalation business from the first to the second half-year. Engineering and tooling for medical plastic systems also generated lower revenues in the second quarter than in the prior-year quarter. Temporary intra-year fluctuations are normal and essentially track the billing of large-scale customer projects. Sales of plastic packaging for solid and liquid drugs, on the other hand, grew positively. Second-quarter revenues with primary packaging glass virtually matched the prior-year figure. Revenues here were down in North America, where the current uncertainty led to reticence among a number of pharma customers to place orders. Outside of North America, revenues with primary packaging glass increased slightly as expected.
Gerresheimer's expectations for financial year 2017, in each case at constant exchange rates and without acquisitions or divestments, are as follows: For the US dollar - which is expected to have the largest currency impact on the Group currency, accounting for about a third of Group revenues in 2017 - Gerresheimer has assumed an exchange rate of approximately USD 1.10 to EUR 1.00.
around 23% for financial year 2018.
around 8% of revenues at constant exchange rates.
- The operating cash flow margin is expected to be around 13%.

Here you’ll find travel reports about Oslo County. Discover travel destinations in Norway of travelers writing a travel blog on FindPenguins.
Leaving the paragliders at the top of our hillside overnight spot, we filled and emptied the van at the service point in the nearby town. It was provided by a petrol station so we topped up with diesel to thank them for the free services.
Next on our agenda came Oslo, Norway's capital city. We'd chosen to do a 'City Sunday' to make parking our 7 metre long van easier and because we hoped the streets and attractions would be less busy. Unable to park at the Sculpture Park as planned, we persevered, squeezing through streets where cars had unthinkingly parked opposite each other, leaving barely enough room for the van. Will managed to find a space on a road in the university quarter, next to a well used basketball court. It was a warm, bright and all importantly, dry day. People, many of whom looked like students, sat out on the grass and staged seating as we passed and made our way in towards the centre through a corridor of hipster bars and cafés. A couple of street performers from New York, dressed in jazzy attire, took advantage of their captive audience.
Once the stress of parking began to subside we began to feel and appreciate the area's relaxed atmosphere. Being Sunday, there were several 'Loppis' (flee markets), a fruit and flower market and a corridor of hippy street stalls that sold a wide range of items. Bristle brushes, baby hareem pants and silver bangles were all on display alongside doughnuts and grilled paninis. We enjoyed looking around this Camden Locks of Oslo but kept our krone safely in our wallet. Around this alternative area there was some great wall art with graffitid images, scenes and sculptures on the sides of the buildings.
Reaching the city centre we walked up the wide pedestrianised Karl Johans Gate to the inauspicious yellow brick Parliament Building. From here we had a view of the grand columns of the Royal Palace that sat within the park at the end at the street. We read that the Norwegian royal family actually live here and unlike many such residences, the public can go right up to the doors.
Skirting round the Parliament we headed towards the large docks, from where we could see cruise ships, old Navy ships with mines and missiles on board and traditional square sailed tall ships, now used for ferrying tourists. Looking down on all this was the faded red brick fortress, a sprawling complex of relatively new buildings atop a low cliff.
Our final destination in the capital was Oslo Opera House, an amazing building whose appearance was modelled to represent a glacier. Made of white stone and glass, it was created with an inclined roof that you could walk up on to for views. It's wide roof pavement was made up of many sloped sections, butted on to other parts that slanted at different angles. You needed to keep your eyes on where you walked lest you stumble up or down one of these joins. A couple of cuboid metal buildings protruded from the smooth lines of the roof, the Braille-like dimples on their otherwise flat chrome sides, providing a contrast to the sea of straight lines. The descent allowed us a view of the people enjoying the space below at ground level. They appeared a little like the figures in a Lowry painting and having come to Oslo on a Sunday deliberately to avoid crowds, we had the unusual feeling that the people enjoying the building around us actually went some way towards making it what it was. Inside this stunning piece of architecture was an outer area containing a café, seating and a few informatiom stalls and displays. 15m tall clear glass windows looked out upon the water in the dock and shed light on the straight and rich gold wooden slats that sat vertically and spiraled round and upwards containing the inner rooms and auditorium.
We returned to the van via a less salubrious neighbourhood, passing by 3 men in particular that you would not want to meet down a dark alley and one woman who looked like a heroin addict heading out to score. It allowed us to see an extra dimension to a country that consistently comes at or neat the top of the scoreboard for the highest standard of living, income equality and people's levels of happiness. It reminded us that some will still seek to exploit and others will invariably fall through the cracks, however small they are.
They have the riches and are using them to great effect by the looks of it!
There are also significant social issues arising from too much money sloshing around. You hinted at it.
Our flight to Oslo in the new 787 dreamliner was nice, although we learned that Norwegian does not include food or beverages on the 7 hour international flight unless you pay extra or flag them down for a glass of water. Another standard airline fee to add to the growing list.
Oslo itself was probably the cleanest city we've been to. It is also one of the most expensive but we had an enjoyable stay.
Ice and snow and sculptures and the view over Oslo!
This morning we got up early as we were crossing the Arctic circle about 7am. Last evening the passengers were invited to submit a time when they thought this would happen, including the hour, the minute and the second. The Arctic circle is marked by a hollow globe on a small island.
During the morning we proceeded on toward Boda past some impressive scenery. Some of the mountains appear quite close to the water.
At Boda which has a population of 50,000 people we went on an Arctic Coastal Walk. The guide to this walk gave us a mixture of geology, agricultural and historical information. Apparently the beach could change in appearance quite considerably, and one day have lots of kelp whilst another day would just have sand. We were told that there had been a submerged coral reef in the vicinity, which contributed to the sand on the beach.
Enjoy checking your emails each morning, such an interesting trip.
What a magical place. Hard to imagine 24 hours of daylight... Love your photos.

There are four types of cardiomyopathy. Each type can be caused by genetic factors, environmental influences, or a combination of both genetics and environment.
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by an enlargement of the left ventricle chamber of the heart. DCM can be related to coronary artery disease (ischemic) or may arise purely from a defect in the cardiac muscle itself (non-ischemic). DCM usually begins as an enlarged heart and may progress into diminished functionality of the heart, and as the disease progresses, can lead to congestive heart failure.
Among patients diagnosed with DCM, over half of those with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy can be attributed to a genetic cause. More than 30 different genes have been associated with DCM, and genetic testing is available for a number of these genes.
In the cases of inherited DCM, there may be a family history of DCM (“enlarged heart”) or congestive heart failure. DCM can also be associated with life-threatening irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias), which can be treated and prevented. Because of the risk of irregular heart rhythms, it is important to identify family members at risk. A family history of sudden death may be an indicator that some family members have DCM.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is characterized by a thickening of the heart walls, which interferes with the heart’s ability to pump. This condition can lead to congestive heart failure. Many people with HCM also have irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmia).
Thickening can occur in several places: The wall of the heart’s left ventricle, the wall of the right ventricle or the septum (the wall between the left and right ventricles). In some cases, thickening occurs in more than one location.
HCM can cause irregular heart rhythms — a problem that can be life-threatening — but can be prevented with device or medical management. So, it is important to identify the problem and take steps to help prevent it. A family history of sudden cardiac death or fainting may suggest the presence of HCM and the need for diagnostic testing.
Nearly 70 percent of HCM cases are due to genetic causes. Our Cardiovascular Genetics Clinic offers genetic testing for many of the genes that cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) is characterized by an enlargement of primarily the right ventricle of the heart with a change in the consistency of the heart tissue. ARVD/C can also affect the left ventricle with a similar change in the cells that occupy the heart (called “fibrofatty infiltration”). ARVD/C can also be associated with life-threatening irregular heart rhythms such as ventricular tachycardia. Cardiologists at UChicago Medicine can treat these irregular heart rhythms with medication or other interventions.
Restrictive cardiomyopathy is characterized by normal left ventricular size but diastolic dysfunction. Restrictive cardiomyopathy that is infiltrative (amyloidosis, hemochromatosis, glycogen storage disease) can have a genetic component, for which genetic testing is available.
UChicago Medicine is one of few institutions in the country with expertise in cardiac amyloidosis. Our physicians specialize in the diagnosis and management of primary amyloidosis and hereditary/nonhereditary TTR amyloidosis.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) are progressive muscle diseases that originate from defects in the same gene (the dystrophin gene). In these conditions, the dystrophin protein is also defective in the heart muscle cells. As a result, nearly all individuals with DMD or BMD will develop cardiomyopathy. Early treatment for cardiomyopathy can slow the development of heart disease; therefore, it is important to see a cardiologist if you have DMD or BMD. Additionally, irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmia) are common among people with DMD or BMD. Arrhythmia can be effectively treated or even prevented with proper intervention.
Limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is a subset of neuromuscular disorders characterized by progressive skeletal-muscle weakness. Some of the limb girdle muscular dystrophies also affect the heart, primarily leading to dilated cardiomyopathy. Early management of LGMD cardiomyopathy can slow progression of the disease, with the goal of preventing heart failure. Patients with LGMD should be evaluated by a cardiologist.
Myotonic dystrophy is a degenerative muscle disease that results in muscle myotonia, or the inability of the muscles to relax (such as difficulty relaxing a grip). Other organ systems can be involved such as the heart with irregular heart rhythms. Irregular heart rhythms can be effectively treated or prevented with proper intervention including medications and/or devices. Myotonic dystrophy is caused by an expansion of one of two genes. Genetic testing is available to diagnose this condition for appropriate disease management.
Marfan syndrome is a connective tissue disorder that can affect the heart valves and the aorta. Marfan syndrome is caused by mutations in the fibrillin-1 gene. These mutations can lead to abnormalities of the skeleton, tall stature, and problems involving the aorta or heart, such as aortic valve insufficiency, mitral valve insufficiency (mitral valve prolapse) or atrial fibrillation. People with Marfan syndrome are at risk for an enlarged aorta, which can lead to aneurysm and life-threatening rupture. Early diagnosis and medical management can slow the development of aortic enlargement.
Aneuryms (outpouchings or bulges of the blood vessels) can develop as part of Marfan syndrome or independently. Aneurysms can run in families. Early screening and treatment can be life-saving.
Long QT syndrome can be seen as an abnormality on the electrocardiogram (ECG). This syndrome can be associated with irregular heart rhythms, fainting or sudden cardiac death. Long QT syndrome runs in families and can be diagnosed by genetic testing and ECG. Early diagnosis and treatment can be life-saving.
The heart has four valves, and abnormalities of these valves may be present at birth or can develop over time. Conditions such as bicuspid aortic valve and mitral valve prolapse may run in families.
Congenital heart defects are present at birth. Adults born with congenital heart defects may require lifelong cardiovascular management of their defect — even if the defect was repaired surgically during childhood. Some congenital heart defects are caused by gene mutations and, therefore, may present a risk to other relatives including children. Genetic testing is available for some congenital heart defects.
A family history of sudden death raises suspicion for an inherited form of cardiovascular disease. We work closely with families and review their medical records in order to understand potential causes of sudden death. Our team can provide a risk assessment.

"Basically it will mean that my son will not have money for his future".
"He [her son] suffers with autism, I don't even know if he'll be able to hold down a job. That money was there to give him the life he should have," Amanda says.
"I can't afford to keep him forever and if anything happens to me that money was there for his future".
"That money to me is lost, I can never see me being able to save that amount of money in my lifetime again.
"I won't be able to afford the extra help for my son.
"If anything happens to me and he has to go into assisted living then there's no money for that now."
The FCA, the UK's financial regulator, first raised questions about LCF's advertising, much of it done online and via social media, in December 2018.
Following further investigation the FCA then froze LCF's assets later that month, then in late January the company collapsed into administration.
Many people who put money in to LCF were first-time investors - inheritance recipients, small business owners or newly retired.
The company's administrators, Smith and Williamson, has now published its proposals about what it thinks is the best way for investors to get as much of their money back as possible.
Finbarr O'Connell, one of the administrators, told BBC Radio 4's Money Box that he hopes to recover about 20% of the £236m that people had invested with the firm. However, he added that it would probably take at least two years before people saw any of that money.
"They [investors] thought this was a safe option, they were comfortable their capital was safe and they thought they would get a good rate of interest so they're completely devastated," he says.
"We have some real, but complex assets, to realise. They could take up to two years to turn into cash.
"The plan is that we continue in hot pursuit of the money and of the assets."
What did the regulator know - and when?
Questions are being asked in Parliament too about what the FCA knew - and when - about possible misleading marketing.
Nicky Morgan MP, chair of Parliament's Treasury Committee, has written to the FCA's chief executive asking what it knew about possible concerns over LCF's advertising and, crucially, when.
Several independent financial advisers have said they warned the FCA, some as far back as 2015, about what they felt were "misleading, inaccurate and not clear" adverts, often promoted on social media.
For its part the FCA has released a statement saying its immediate priority is to "investigate and assist in the recovery of any assets. We will then be looking into this matter carefully and will consider what lessons can be learned".
You can hear more on BBC Radio 4's Money Box programme on Saturday at 12pm or listen again here.

Kelly: Inappropriate—thank you. Who are you, Larry King?
Kelly: Oh, from the insurance commercials!
Another Halloween where only a handful of people knew who we were, but those that did loved our costume. I came up with the idea the night of Tuesday, October 23rd, but Brian did not commit to it until late Wednesday night, so in our usual rushed fashion, we had only a couple days to complete the costumes before donning them Saturday night. Even though the costumes were technically easier to make than last year's, it was still a bit of a nightmare of using permanent fabric markers (these were waterproof and didn't run which was key since there was a chance of rain on Saturday), because it took a LONG time to color each of the sections using markers that from the get-go seemed to be running low on ink and refused to saturate the shirts with color.

“Elemental” damage is a fundamental concept in RPGs: it gets pretty boring pretty quickly if your one attack is equally effective against all targets, so games will typically have several different categories of attack that are differently effective, giving you a slightly more interesting choice to make. In Atlus’ Shin Megami Tensei franchise, exploiting elemental weaknesses is a little too important for my taste – you either do it correctly and win in one turn, or don’t… and give the AI the chance to win in one turn.
In Chrono Cross, the word Element has a totally other meaning, but the concept of “elemental damage” still exists in the form of colors. And I’m a big fan of how CC uses colors to provide that extra bit of complexity to the decision making process without making it trivial to find the optimal choice.
Chrono Cross has six colors… plus one.
There are six colors, matched in three pairs of opposite colors: red/blue, green/yellow, and white/black. Every player character and every enemy has an innate color. In general, opposite colors deal more damage to each other while matching colors deal less, and other color combinations do not affect damage.
From the Skies of Arcadia manual.
For physical attacks, the main considerations are the color of the attacker and target, and how they compare to the Field Effect (F.E.) which is shown in the top left of the battle screen. The F.E. represents the last three Element colors used in the current battle. It starts as a random collection of colors, and using an Element pushes its color into the list and removes the oldest color. The more a character’s color is represented in the F.E., the more effective they will be at dealing damage; conversely, the more the character’s opposite color is represented, the less effective they will be.
-1 for each time the attacker’s opposite color appears in the F.E.
Additionally, if the target’s color is opposite to the attacker’s, the total damage will be boosted by an additional 50% on top of the result of the point system changes.
Therefore a red attacker hitting a blue target with a fully red F.E. will get 4 points and deal 1.5 * 1.5 = 2.25 times their base damage, while a red attacker hitting a red target with a fully blue F.E. will get -3 and a multiplier of 0.665. That’s more than a threefold difference between the best and worst matchups, so choosing who will attack who when is important!
The rules governing Element damage are similar in structure but there is an additional complication: each Element has its own color which must also be taken into account.
-1 for each time the Element’s opposite color appears in the F.E.
Like before, there is a 50% bonus awarded if the Element’s color is opposite to the target’s.
The same minimum and maximum multipliers apply, which is advantageous to the attacker, since it is actually possible to score a dismal -5 points if e.g. a red attacker cast a blue Element on a blue target with a fully blue F.E.
One of the reasons Chrono Cross allows the player to escape any battle at any time, even boss battles, is that the color composition of both your party and each party member’s Element loadout is so important to your effectiveness that you will likely need to rethink your approach based on the color the enemy turns out to be. And it’s for that same reason that the usability issues with the Element equipment interface are so detrimental to the play experience.
If the Field Effect is all the same color, it is possible to use a Summon Element, which is a very powerful attack in the vein of Final Fantasy summons. Unlike every other kind of Element, you can only use summons a certain number of times before resting at an inn, and that number is equal to your Growth Level, which increases as you make story progress.
This is in my opinion the weirdest thing in the whole weird game, and it isn’t really a mechanic that influences your strategy in a typical battle; in practice, one uses summons almost exclusively as a way of grinding for rare loot. Killing enemies with a summon causes them to drop Shiny items instead of their normal items, and Shinies can be used to forge the best equipment in the game. Outside of this purpose, I never really think about summons.
That said, turning the whole Field Effect to one color is pretty useful for non-summon purposes as well. In fact, a set of Elements exists that only turn the F.E. to a uniform color. That such a specialized ability has so much situational utility is one advantage of having so many interrelated core combat mechanics, and in the final part of this series we’ll talk about some of the interesting manipulations that non-damage-dealing Elements like this allow.

While CRU! in the form of the bamboostic-project offered technical assistance and finances to the building, the community decided all of the content and program of the building and its different parts built in different times over the last 10 years. The community decided that the first building was to be a community center to hold gatherings, while following years other parts such as a computer-room, library, pré-school, cooperative building-instruments storage room, surfboard storage room, association-office and last completed a community bakery.
CRU! was always strict to not enter in any decision regarding function nor workings of the cooperatieve or association and to keep to only aiding in designing and technical assistance. The entire Bamboostic project was foreseen as an educative training for this cooperative to perfect their techniques, whilst building community infrastructure.
For the design 3 main requirements were put forward by the local association of Cambury: to provide a communal space to hold meetings, school activities or other events and several separate rooms to host classes and to store material; to form a perceived geographical center of the town and third to integrate the building within the surrounding landscape and the existing school located on the same terrain.
The terrain is situated 50 meters land inward from the beach. The center is oriented in the direction of the sea to catch the main wind for ventilation. By raising the roof sufficiently high and by avoiding perpendicular walls blocking airflow inside the building, the ventilation flow is optimal. Under warm and humid conditions higher wind velocities have a positive effect on the physiological as well as psychological wellbeing. The height of the building aids the buoyancy or stack effect; air will flow in when the warmer indoor air rises up through the building and escapes at the top, therefore the design foresees both lateral sides open. The rising warm air reduces the pressure at the base of the building, drawing colder air in when there is a lack of natural airflow and stagnant air.

Grammar is very important part of learning the English language. Several people learn grammar in school only to forget it when they grow up. There are others who are very fluent in English, but still fail to understand concepts in grammar. Even those with a high proficiency in English and those who manage to never make mistakes while writing or speaking English often tend to now know about English grammar.

7. Conjunctions: A conjunction joins words, phrases or clauses and indicates the relationship between the elements joined.
8. Interjections: Interjections is a word used to express emotions. It is often followed by an exclamation point.
Let us look at the phrase ‘You can’t judge a book by its cover’ – to not judge someone or something based solely on appearance. This shows that appearances cannot be sole criteria for judging anyone and that appearances can be deceptive. The English language has hundreds of phrases, while some of them are more commonly used, the usage of others is less common. The phrase conveys this in a simple way making it open to interpretation.
Learning new phrases is possible when you take your English language skills to the next level.
Clauses: A clause is a group of words that include both subject and verb. There are two types of clauses – Dependent Clauses and Independent Clauses.
The clause after he watched the News is a dependent Clause. It does not sound right as a standalone sentence.
The Dependent Clauses are also known as subordinate clauses could have been independent clauses. However, the opening words of the sentence turn it into a dependent Clause.
How are Clauses used in Sentences?
Clauses can play a play role as grammatical connectors in a sentence by acting as a noun, adjective or adverb.
There are three types of Clauses: Noun Clause, Adjective Clauses and Adverbial Clauses. The clauses are known for the choice of words used. Use of nouns, turn them into noun clause, use of adjectives turn them into adjective clauses and use of adverbs turn them into adverbial clauses.
1. Be a Good Listener: Be a good listener to those who can speak English well. Listen to conversations in English. It could be listening to pod casts, interviews on television, radio or just listening to friends or those who have professional working proficiency in English.
2. Learn Parts of Speech: The only way you can become an expert in English is to learn parts of speech mentioned in this blog.
2. Start talking to Friends in English: Make English our first language.
3. Read Comic books and Short story books: Read English comic books like Tinkle, TinTin, or other Comic books from Amar Chitra Katha where you can improve language by reading on Indian mythology. Read Short stories that give you an opportunity to learn English and grammar.
4. Make use of Mobile Apps: Make use of free podcasts and apps that teach you new words and sentences every day. There are hundreds of apps on Android and iOS that teach you English and Grammar. Make use of them.
5. Stay Confident: Stay confident and believe that you can learn English and you will be able to learn and improve English Grammar.
