It’s a little timer chip.
So you can use it to build different fun time-related circuits… Which does not sound very fun at first.
I’ve just built a cool little synthesizer that I have been addicted to for the last few days.
Lately, I’ve been playing around with it to create more fun circuits for the upgraded version of my eBook «Getting Started With Electronics».
You can buy the current version, and get a free update to the new one automatically.
And then you can buy the component box when it is ready too.

The start of a new year is a great time to review and upgrade your current work uniform to a new, more modern work uniform.
Staying relevant and current is important for your brand, especially in an increasingly competitive business environment. Refreshing your employee uniforms with a modern work uniform is an easy way to stand out from the competition and portray a strong, modern brand. “Keeping your employee’s work uniforms updated with the latest trends in business and work fashion helps improve brand credibility”, said Lester Frischman, National Sales Manager of Best Buy Uniforms & Promotions.
Don’t be afraid to use bold and flamboyant components in your uniform. Whether it’s a brightly colored monogram polo, a funky hat, or a new type of material (e.g. denim), a “statement piece” is a key component of a modern work uniform. In addition, a statement piece is a memorable event and can send a strong, lasting message about your brand to your customers. And remember, since you’re refreshing parts of your uniform annually, its OK to take risks.
After being out of style for over a decade, denim on denim is back and making an impact on modern work uniforms. Hotels, restaurants, and kitchen staff are embracing the modern look and replacing classic cotton items like aprons and bibs with trendy denim ones. Pairing denim with your existing uniform can help instantly give your business a trendy, fun vive.
Instead of having your staff wear formal dress ware including ties, think about replacing the dress pants with chinos and the ties with a checkered shirt. Casual button ups are a great way to modernize your business and transform your public image.
Business culture has been become more casual, and most likely so have your customers. Understanding your customers and ensuring your uniforms communicate an approachable tone can help drive customer engagement and sales. In fact, in many modern work environments embracing a business casual (or business smart) modern work uniform can make your staff appear more approachable, and help your customers better relate to your brand.
In today’s culture of social media and fast updates, businesses must make sure they can hold their customers’ interest. As a result, business uniforms should now be refreshed on a much more regular basis (sometimes even annually). Think about changing out one component of your uniform every year, and implementing an entirely new modern work uniform every 24 – 36 months. This will keep your employees engaged, and your brand fresh and modern in the eyes of your customers.
Staying on top of modern work uniform trends is important. Not only do you want the public to view you as current, but you want your workers to feel comfortable and fashionable while at work. When choosing work uniforms, its important to find the right balance between trendy and function. At Best Buy Uniforms our specialists are available to help you.

Hi everyone ! i'm new here and i have a problem with my hvr. i've been having the same prob is the guy in this topic "http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/troubleshooting/11530-win-tv-hvr-1600-not-finding-any-channels.html" but i cant seem to fix it the way he did. i can't find any channels and im connecting by a cable "rogers" and it works if i jus plug it into the tv. i'm also putting in canada, cable, and ntsc_m. should i change any settings or something?
in addition, when i tried to fix it, i found out that i have this "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Hauppauge\SMD07" but i dont have this "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Hauppauge\SoftMCE" as talked about in the topic above.
i'm totally confused with all this and i would greatly appreciate the help !
I personally never got my 1600 to work right under Vista. I switched my HTPC back to XP Media Center and it works perfectly. If you are running Vista, this card really does not work much with that OS.
Try deleting all the drivers/software and download everything new from Hauppages site.
I have used this card successfully with Vista 64 ultimate and XP. I had problems running it in the past after messing with video card drivers. In effect, the card would not recognize the analog tuner which could be an issue you have having.
This second step was what allowed me to properly install the analog tuner. I had it working, but installed new video card drivers which screwed up the analog tuner (which happens easily).
should i change the settings wen i scan for channels?
Just replied to your pm but I posted in here too in case someone else wants to pitch in and help.
Make sure you are attaching your cable to the right input on the back of the card. One is for digital and the other is for analog. You want to use the analog. Sounds like to me that you are getting over the air stations as if you are using antenna. Just make sure that you have the cable screwed into the right input and you are using "cable" and not "antenna".
After you have ensured the above you could also try another piece of software such as sageTV (download the trial) to see if its a software config issue.

Part of simple living is clearing away the objects in your life, most especially in your home, that are quite literally: just taking up space.
We need a new house, at least an addition... I need to spend a lot of money on organizing bins to fit all my STUFF better into my closet... etc.
...when in fact you really need to say, "Goodbye." to the things that have outgrown their usefulness... or maybe never fulfilled your expectations to begin with.
What to keep? The things that you use daily... even weekly... even seasonally if you do actually use them and need them for a specific purpose. If you host Thanksgiving dinner every year you can’t chuck the turkey platter... just try to think of some other uses for it through out the year.
I subscribe to many wonderful minimalist blogs: Loving Simple Living, The EveryDay Minimalist, The Minimalists, Becoming Minimalist to name a few. Their advice, especially having to do with mental clutter, is usually very thought provoking.
This is were William Morris’s ideas come in... keeping things that you believe to be beautiful has a value too... it is not practical. It is aesthetic.
For me Simple Living is about focusing on the most important things in your life: health, family, friends, food and home. Focusing on these things and finding the most pleasure in them.
I don’t just eat healthy... I spend time learning about new cuisines and cooking techniques, so I and my family, can enjoy eating healthy food more.
I try also to think about what William Morris and the Arts and Crafts Movement promoted so long ago.. craftsmanship.
If you can find and afford something that is made... no not just made: crafted by an individual.. this can both food and furniture... buy it.
Support a person in living a life in which he gets to put love into objects and food... that he gets to spend his days creating art.
I once visited the Shaker Village in Hanover, MA. For Shakers craftsmanship was symbolic of their devotion to God. Everything they made was infused with spirit, they strived for perfection to bring heaven to earth.
Craftsmanship is so pronounced in their work that when I walked into my first Shaker house my jaw dropped at the site of the door hinge... yes the door hinge screamed craftsmanship. So did the door knobs and the coat hooks... nothing in this home was built without care... nothing mass produced. The soul of the owner echoed in every room, every corner, on every floor of this HOME.
I would love to fill my house with objects that I love and were made with so much love that the imprint of the artist’s soul is engraved in the work and emanates through out my home.

I really enjoyed this post, Diane. I totally agree; quality is far more important than quantity (I use this rule with clothes and shoes as well). I also enjoyed the links that you shared. It's interesting to hear other people's thoughts on clutter in our post modern world.
Thanks April... I'm not surprised to hear you agree with quality over quantity. I can tell you think about purchases from some of your posts.
I buy few things, but when I do I try to buy things that are made well and make me smile. I enjoyed your article!
Very funny... but was it a Mason Pearson brush? I've always wondered if they are worth investing in.
I love shaker style too. I am actually a Scandinavian, but I don't like super stark, white boxes for houses. I rather like natural materials, crafts, softness. But with an ascetic edge :) And only the necessary. As well as soothing to my spirit, this style is also kid-friendly and easier to maintain (with maintaining my sanity at the same time).
I love your taste... clean with a softness... very nice.
I have found myself searching for a functional item and deciding that it also needs to be aesthetically pleasing, because I limit my item now. Occasionally this leads to frustration but in the end using the item always makes me smile. You definitely hit on the fact that function and beauty needs to be appreciated.
Thanks so much I'm glad I helped summarize this for you.
Love this post we can all learn a lot from it, I am now following you!! Laura from Real Momma stopping by to say thanks for linking up to the Best of your Best Blog Hop!
Thanks so much for following. If you liked this post you might enjoy some of my others under: Simple Living Ideas. I love the new party I'll see you there each week.

1) The Price touched the long-term trendline and bounced back.
2) The Volume based study shows the decent volume in the recent past is the good sign and brings in more attraction.
3) The Price took the support on 200 EMA and bounced back.
4) As long as the Price is on the channel, it can head to $12700.
Break below the channel, 200 EMA would turn as resistance and 100 EMA can provide support, but it can gain support on $9300-$9500.

Hae Jang Chon offers a varied AYCE KBBQ menu with 27 options to choose from, including both unmarinated and marinated meats, seafood, vegetarian selections like kimchi pancakes, and more adventurous options like beef intestines. All dishes are cooked on two-inch-thick Korean stone grills, and because of the perpetually large amount of humans inside, things can get real smoky at Hae Jang Chon, nerve-wracking because the décor is mostly mahogany wood.
Hae Jang Chon was established as an all you can eat Koran BBQ restaurant in 2002. Because most all you can eat Korean barbecue places in Koreatown Los Angeles do not serve fresh, high quality meats, we decided to fill this void.
Our many satisfied customers know that when it comes to all you can eat, or AYCE, Korean BBQ, Hae Jang Chon is the only restaurant that serves high quality BBQ meats that are on par with top-tier non all you can eat Korean BBQ establishments. In fact, many of our customers know that our all you can eat Korean BBQ even surpasses most non all you can eat Korean BBQ places, in terms of meat quality, taste and freshness.
Our ALL YOU CAN EAT menu includes Canadian pork. We only serve Canadian pork because it has a proportionate balance of meat and fat for the ultimate in taste sensation.
A personable and friendly staff, and our comfortable atmosphere make the Hae Jang Chon a perfect meeting place for any occasion. Com and indulge yourself in our endless all you can eat Korean BBQ for the best in taste and dining satisfaction!
"Voted the most delectable deal in Los Angeles & SoCal for Korean food"
"Los Angeles has some of the best Korean BBQ outside Korea. Head to Koreatown to sample succulent meats, stews, noodles, and regional dishes at crowd favorites like Hae Jang Chon Korean BBQ"
"15 Foods Only Real Los Angeles Locals Love to Eat"
There are few things Angelenos love quite as much as all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ, and few places that do it better than Hae Jang Chon. Come hungry (and wearing stretchy pants) - the 27-item AYCE menu includes pork shoulder, shrimp, Bulgogi beef, kimchi fried rice, bean paste soup, and more.

In-depth answers from Dana, Gotham’s Dean of Students.
Ask DanaI want to write. Where’s the best place to start?
In my experience, people LOVE hard and fast answers.
That won’t work; this will.
It’s about control, I think. No one wants to be wandering the wilderness, writing or otherwise, without a sign-post to safety or a clear path to success. It’s just too random, feels too insecure to have that much choice.
But couldn’t lots of answers to the same question be a good thing? Isn’t it nice to know that there are a bunch of ways to be right?
So, if you have a sense of what you want your end-point to be—film script, short story, picture book, or even “New York Times-worthy article” or “memoir about my time teaching math in Alaska”—start with a 10-week Level I class. You’ll get a strong grounding in craft, a chance to practice with weekly assignments, and feedback on the beginnings of that dream project.
But if you have a vaguer idea of what you want to end up with, a general goal—“I want to write stories” or “I think I want to write a script, but I’m not sure if it should be a tv show or a play”—go with one of our 6-week ‘101’ classes and just investigate storytelling through a broader lens first.
And if, say, you want to write about your life but you’re not sure whether to tell the story as it happened or fictionalize it and turn it into a novel, take a Fiction One-day and a Memoir One-day—only a couple of days of your time, a bit less of your hard-earned dollars—and see where the heat is before moving on to a longer class.
Yup, at Gotham, there are lots of right answers. Embrace it! And know that no matter what you choose, you’ll move forward with whatever seed of an idea you’d like to see grow and, most importantly, be challenged to WRITE!
Still want a hard and fast answer to ‘where’s the best place to start’? Okay, fine.
Ask DanaHow much time will I need to devote to my class?
As if there’s an answer beyond that.
And really, truly, there isn’t. Because everyone writes and reads at a slightly different pace. Everyone absorbs information at their own rate. And everyone has varying amounts of time to devote to class, which probably changes a bit week to week.
Plus, the time requirements are different for 10-week classes like Fiction I or Screenwriting I than they are for a 6-week class like Creative Writing 101. In-person varies from online. And in the 10-week camp, Level I vs. Level II makes a difference, too.
But, we hate giving non-answers to questions, so I always tell folks what they’re going to have to accomplish in a week, and let them figure it out from there.
From the looks of it, the online classes require less of your time. Maybe. But maybe not. Depending on how you learn, you might read the lectures more than once. And writing up cogent feedback on your fellow students’ work takes time that giving feedback off-the-cuff in class doesn’t’. Does that all equal the same three hours that you’d spend if you were in class in NYC? I bet you know the answer…it…wait for it…varies person to person.
What happens if you can’t give the class that much time every week? That happens. We know our students are busy people and there are going to be weeks when class can’t be a priority. We just hope you’ll give it your all for the weeks you’re with us so you have the best experience you can possibly have. And if you want to talk through your options to find the best format or best time to take class, give a holler.
Ask DanaIf I have an idea for a TV Pilot, do I have to start with TV Writing I?
And with so many more outlets available than ever before – network and cable, streaming and web series, live-action and not – there seems to be more hunger than ever to get into the TV game.
But the great pilots, the truly great ones – The Sopranos, The West Wing, Breaking Bad, Arrested Development, Community – are incredibly hard to write. Not impossible. I mean, it’s been done, right? But so, so hard. You have to establish the world of the show, establish the characters, chart a long-term course, AND tell a mini-story that’s worthy in and of itself.
And you have to do all that while navigating the particular nuances of storytelling for the small screen, from story beats to weaving storylines together to ‘sitcom vs. drama’.
Which is why we ask that folks do take TV Writing I before TV Writing II/Pilot.
In TV Writing I, you learn the TV ropes by studying the greats and then by trying your hand at a script for one of those great shows that inspire you. You get a handle on this unique storytelling form, and maybe even put some already well-drawn characters into a situation you might put your own characters in down the road.
It’s plenty challenging to write a TV ‘spec’, but a whole lot more doable than jumping into the deep end of a pilot if you’ve never written for television before.
What scenario could you cook up for the characters in This Is Us to wade through? How about the folks in Black-ish? Or Bojack Horseman? Spend some time in one of those wonderful sandboxes. And then go off and create a sandbox of your own.
Ask DanaI want to work one-on-one with an instructor. Would that be the Mentor Program?
Back in 2008, we launched our Mentor Program. And boy did we learn something right away.
“Mentor” is a VERY powerful word.
Maybe it’s because the word connotes seriousness. Sober, important, literary (in our case) endeavors, involving elbow patches and pipes.
That image makes people feel like they’re really going to be taken care of, like they’re going to be welcomed into a dark-wood-paneled professor’s office and invited to learn the mysteries of storytelling at said professor’s knee.
Which, to a degree, is true.
And if that’s what you’re looking for our Mentor Program might be great for you. But maybe we have something else that might be better.
So I thought I’d break the whole one-on-one thing down for y’all to show the whole spectrum of offerings, and help you find the best fit.
In the Mentor Program, you buy a block of 12 or 16 hours, and ‘burn’ those hours in a variety of ways over time. Sure, the mentor reads your work, writes up feedback, meets (or chats) with you about suggestions or to just brainstorm. But expect targeted assignments, too. Reading assignments, writing exercises, whatever the mentor feels will help you move your project forward. And if you’re, say, writing a memoir or a novel and trying to capture, I dunno, a particular character relationship on the page, your mentor might have you watch a movie to inspire your prose. We like it when the Mentorships are creative and multi-medium, and folks dig that, too.
But if you have a draft of a piece—prose or script or poem or whatever—and what you want is feedback, Book or Story Doctoring is often a better choice. Because it’s one-on-one, you’re still getting the deep attention you might like about the word ‘mentor’, but it’s a one-shot deal not the developmental experience of a mentorship. And honestly, could be exactly what you need.
Of course, you can take any of our classes One-on-One, too. Whether it’s a 10-week workshop or a 6-week class, you can have the regularity of weekly meetings and the learning experience of a course curriculum, but tailored to your tastes, interests, and needs. We even offer a 3-hour One-on-One version of our Intensives, which are perfect if you’re in from out of town.
Yup, the word mentor IS power-packed. But you get deep, personalized attention whether you choose the Mentor Program, or another flavor of one-on-one services. There are lots of choices. And I’m here to help laser-in on just which one will help you most. So call!
Ask DanaCan I take the same class again and again?
I love it for lots of reasons. First, it makes it seem like I’m putting my Philosophy degree to good use, something that makes my mom happy in a way that my former career as an advertising copywriter didn’t (I can connect those dots for you; just email me and ask).
Second, it’s in line with my world view, that we and everything around us is always incrementally changing, allowing something new to happen every time we open our eyes in the morning.
And third, it comes in handy when students ask about taking the same class more than once.
If you buy Heraclitus’ premise, you can take Fiction I or Writing Scripts 101 or Memoir II again and again, because you’re a different writer every time you put finger to keyboard. You’re a different writer because the river has flowed, and you’re likely in a different place in your work than you were last term or last year, making the same lecture material – even the written lectures we post in our online classes – relevant in new ways.
Add to that the fact that new novels and picture books have been published, new films and TV shows have hit the screen, big and small, the world has evolved (or devolved) giving journalists and essayists fodder for new reporting and fresh opinions. And all of that will inevitably inform your writing.
Plus, your second dance with the same class will put you in contact with a bevy of new fellow students with brand, spanking new things to say about your work, and projects of their own that will open you to their stories that just might impact yours.
Sure, if you’re ready for Fiction II after taking Fiction I once or for online Memoir II-B after taking Memoir II-A, go right ahead. My aim is not to put the kibosh on that plan. But know that you not only have permission to lather-rinse-repeat, but that we (and our pal Heraclitus) see the value in that choice.
Ask DanaHow do I protect my work?
I’m always of two minds when folks call in with this question. On the one hand, it’s really putting the cart before the horse. It feels best to advise people to focus on the writing first and not worry about getting it out there or whatever drama that might entail.
On the other, I get the impulse to be concerned. Many if not most artists want their work to be seen by the universe, and that happening centers on the work being special, unique, not like anyone else’s.
But whether I feel the question is warranted or not doesn’t much matter. My job—Gotham’s job—is to provide writers, new and not, a creative home, and to make everyone who wants ‘in’ feel comfortable making the decision to enroll and entrust us with their baby.
Now, bottom line, your work is legally your work as of its creation. Similar to the Poor (Wo)Man’s copyright of yore (actually people still do this), where folks mail themselves their own work, never to break the envelope’s seal, your computer date-and-time stamps what you’ve written just like the post office does. And it’s yours as of that date, that time.
Prose writers, poets, and songwriters, you can copyright your work with the Library of Congress for about $35.
Screenwriters, TV writers, playwrights, you can register your work with The Writers’ Guild, East and West. West costs $20 and lasts 5 years, East costs $25 and lasts 10. Or copyright if you’d prefer.
Don’t do both. That’s kinda paranoid.
You can’t protect an idea or a concept. If you could, Romeo and Juliet couldn’t exist in the same universe as West Side Story, Deep Impact and Armageddon couldn’t have graced our screens during the same summer, and Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar wouldn’t be a thing. You can only protect the exact rendering of an idea.
Stealing is hard to prove, even if you have ‘proof of authorship’ in hand.
Beyond that, I will say that being a writer requires a bit of healthy ego. You have to believe that YOU have a singular story to tell, that your story is the one that needs to be told. And because of that, the likelihood of someone plunking down $400+ to take a class and poach someone else’s idea is slim. To pass off the exact words and characters and dialogue and conflicts as their own? Even less so.
Think of it this way: taking a writing class is a wonderful experience where you can get valuable feedback, learn from the brilliant and less brilliant writing moves your peers have made, and find your people. And writing anything, finishing a draft of ANYthing, let alone a final, publishable/producible draft, takes time, heart, brain, and more than a bit of moxie. Best not to cheat yourself out what is poised to be a nourishing step in your writing journey. And to put your energy into creating, not worrying.
Ask DanaWhy should I take a One-day Intensive?
There are a few different types of “One-days”—let’s call them that and save some space/time/words—that serve different purposes.
We have One-days that offer a deep dive into one aspect of craft across the genres: Character and Dialogue.
We have One-days that are more about professional development: How to Get Published, Blog Basics, even Business Writing.
We even have a One-day that explores the basics of grammar: (wait for it) Grammar: The Basics.
But the bulk of our One-days are marvelous day-long overviews of our 10-week storytelling classes: Fiction Writing or Screenwriting, Memoir Writing or Humor Writing, and everything in between.
They’re substantive, providing mini-lectures on all aspects of the craft at hand, in-class writing exercises that get the creative juices flowing and often jump-start a major project, with plenty of time built in for Q&A.
And they’re by no means a mere advertisement for the longer classes, even though you will get a true sense of what to expect if you take one of those. You really will write throughout the day, and really will leave with shiny new tools for your writing toolbox.
So, why take a One-day?
Take one because you want to wade into the writing process a bit slowly where a day-long exploration feels like a digestible first step. Or because you’re only in town for a short time, and always wondered what a live Gotham class was like.
Take one because you’ve already taken one of our 10-week classes and want some extra time understanding character development or dialogue. Or because you’re deciding between two types of writing and aren’t sure where the heat is for you.
Take one because, once upon a time, you knew the difference between a colon and a semi-colon, but that bit of knowledge is stuck in some far-off brain file along with your first grade teacher’s name and the lyrics to The Brady Bunch theme song.
Or take it to get the all-important brush-up that will make a Level II class a better experience for you and your writing.
Just take one! Or give us a call and let us convince you.
Ask DanaThe Online class I want to take is scheduled for Tuesdays, but I’m never free on Tuesday. Can I still take the class?
Before Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, if you wanted to watch, say, The Mary Tyler Moore Show or Ally McBeal, you had to park yourself in your Barcalounger at a specific time on a specific night of the week. Or hope to catch reruns (yes, those were a thing) over the summer.
Same thing when it came to school. To take a class, you had to be there in real-time to participate, or you’d be pestering your best friend about copying notes or making up the work during recess.
Now there’s something to be said for the immediacy of being ‘in the room where it happens’. Whether it’s about being one of the 105.9 million to watch the series finale of M*A*S*H or taking that Chem exam along-side your friends instead of in the library on a Saturday, the energy of the collective experience is worth something.
But we’ve become busy. And our ‘busy-ness’ has turned us into an ‘on demand’ culture. In the same way that we now can choose when to tune-in to The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, we want to be able to choose when to log into the writing class that’ll teach us how to write a TV show of our own.
And when you take a Gotham Online class, you can.
So, sign up for an Online class with us, and then do whatever you want on the Tuesday that your class posts. Do the laundry. Go out to dinner. Jet-off to Venice. Stay late at work. Watch The Handmaid’s Tale. Your weekly lecture, your Notebook assignment, any work that’s up for critique will all be there for you Wednesday or Friday or Sunday.
Oh, and the Online Class Tour answers a lot of questions about how the Online classes work. But, if you’re still not sure, call us up and we’ll be happy to help. We’re not ‘on demand’, but we’re around 9am-6pm NY time.
Ask DanaWho is your best teacher?
I’ve worked at Gotham Writers for 20 years (miraculous, since I’m a wee lass of 29) and this is by far the easiest question to answer.
Now I know it sounds a bit like I’m selling snake oil when I say that. But absolute truth: our teachers are the best you’re going to find. Anywhere.
They go through a very serious vetting process because we know that we’re only as good as what happens in the classroom, and because we’re deeply invested in every student having a wonderful Gotham experience. And we’re internally small enough to check in on them regularly, addressing any concerns that come up, nipping even the tiniest problem in the bud.
A unique, alchemic combination of teaching experience and writing success. Because there are tremendous writers who can’t teach worth a whit, and stellar instructors who can’t write to save their hides.
I mean, when you sign up for a writing class, you want someone at front of the room who’s faced the blank screen or page, experienced what you’ll experience, asked the questions you’ll ask, torn their hair out over word choice or character motivation, just like you will, and come out the other side published, produced, acknowledged.
But you also want someone who understands that teaching is an art all its own.
Being a fine teacher means being able to deliver inspiring lectures and come up with muscle-stretching exercises. It means managing time and keeping things moving, It means helping newer writers articulate exactly what they mean to say to a fellow writer about their work when they might not quite have the craft-vocabulary to do that. And, perhaps more than anything else, it’s about conveying passion, for story and character, for the written word and the writer’s life.
It’s not easy to find unicorns such as these. But we have about 120 of them on our faculty at any given time. And we couldn’t be prouder of that.
So who’s our best teacher? The teacher teaching the class you’ll get to most often over the six or 10 weeks of class.
Dana Miller is Gotham’s Dean of Students and Director of One-on-One services.
Ask DanaWhich are better, your live classes or your online classes?
I’m not a fan of the ‘compare and contrast’. And it’s not because I came up in the Montessori culture where no one is any better than anyone else., because I didn’t. And it’s not because I’m a Libra with a typical October-baby allergy to making decisions, even though I am.
It’s because you can’t compare Fujis with mandarins.
Or rather Fujis with a pie made from Fujis.
One is built from the other, but they serve different needs and tastes.
The in-person classes are classic. Classes like you remember them from grade school. You show up, same time, same place, every week, with other like-minded people and a (stellar) instructor, and you take class. You get the lectures, the discussion, the in-class exercises, and the critique of developing work in real-time, and you bond, mano-a-mano, right there in the room.
The online classes are made of the same fine stuff: lecture, discussion, writing exercises, critique. But they don’t meet at a specific time. You log in when it’s convenient, as many times during each week as you want, and your class unfolds flexibly, a bit at a time, instead.
And because you’re not sitting at your computer participating at the same time as everyone else, students get a chance to take class with folks from all over the country, maybe all over the globe, which is interesting and fun.
The teachers have the same credentials, whether they’re teaching online or in NY, and the goals are the same, too: a strong grounding in craft, feedback on your work, a safe stimulating place to bring your story to life.
So if you’re in or near NYC, you get the immediacy of the in-person experience. If you’re not, or you have one of those jobs where you can’t necessarily leave work on time every Monday or Thursday or whatever, you get the chance to take class with us on your time, and be a part of a global classroom.
It just depends if you feel like a great piece of fruit or an equally great piece of pie.
Ask DanaCan I go right into Level II or do I have to start with Level I?
If you’ve taken a class like our Level I class before – where an instructor taught the basics like structure and character and description, using lectures and writing exercises and maybe some peer critique – then going right into Level II should be fine. We’ll want to have a chat to hear what that class was like, make sure it’s a match, but chances are you’d be good to go.
Thing is, a lot of folks feel like they should be able to leapfrog over Level I. Either because they’ve written stories before or because they ‘write all the time at work’ or because they went to college or are accomplished writers of another stripe. Or they think Level I is remedial or ‘babyish’ in some way. And nothing could be further from the truth.
Our Level I classes are substantive explorations of the inner-workings and underpinnings of what makes a story a story. And by breaking fiction (or screenwriting or songwriting or memoir or anything else we offer) into its component parts, you end up with a toolbox and a blueprint you can use to build YOUR story and build it well.
Think of it this way: you wouldn’t unclog a drain or make mushroom risotto without instructions and maybe a YouTube video. And just because you can make a mean chocolate layer cake doesn’t mean you can make a mushroom risotto that’ll get you on the Next Food Network Star.
Our Level I classes ARE those instructions. They are that video. And we’ve had published authors and professors and PhD’s and tv writers who started with Level I when investigating what it would be like to write something new.
Plus, learning the art of the critique is an education in itself, and Level I hones those skills so they’re sharp as can be for Level II, where critiquing your fellow students' work is the Tootsie Roll center of the whole experience.
So if you genuinely feel that Level II is the best first step for you, give us a call and we can talk it through. But don’t underestimate the brightside of beginning at the beginning.
Ask DanaWill the Teen Classes help with the writing I need to do for school?
Let’s see, our teen classes are definitely creative writing classes. Except for our Grammar for Teens, which we run from time to time in NYC they’re all about storytelling and are designed to help younger writers find and unleash their ability to create on the page.
So whether it’s Unbound, our general creative writing class that sharpens powers of imagination, observation, and description so that teens start looking at the world through a writer’s eyes, or True Story which has teens trying their hands at writing articles and short personal essays with an eye towards that all-important college essay, or Action which introduces them to the world of writing scripts—the goal is the same. Our classes are for teens who love to write. They give them permission to let go of the need for right answers and the grab for good grades and just tell stories. True ones and made up ones. Stories for people to read and stories for them and their friends to act out in living rooms and garages with their iPhones documenting the event.
But will that help with book reports and research papers? In subtle, indirect ways, sure.
The more you put pen to paper or finger to keyboard, the better all of your writing is likely to become. With practice and consistency and attention, the idea of writing anything becomes less daunting, less mysterious. And when you’re more comfortable doing something, that something tends to be better.
Plus, learning how to organize your thoughts when you’re mapping out a short story about twin sisters who save their school from a band of bullies, or an essay about your first political rally, or a one-act play about a dog that becomes mayor of a small New England town works the same mental muscles as organizing your thoughts about Jane Eyre for English class.
So yes, come take a Teen class with us and we wouldn’t be surprised if you reported back to us that your teachers were super pleased to see how much better a writer you’ve become since last year. But you can take the class just for fun, too. Because sometimes it’s okay to do something just for fun. We won’t tell.
Ask DanaI just want to write better. Which class should I take?
This is always a tough one to answer because it can mean so many things.
It could mean that someone wants to write better stories/poems/scripts – in which case, we are bursting with classes to help. Depending on what kind of story you want to tell, any of our dozen or more Level I classes will fit the bill.
But more often than not, when someone says they want to ‘write better’, it means one of three things.
They feel like they missed out on some key points in English class and are sure everyone else knows how to use commas and what the difference is between ‘there’, ‘their’, and ‘they’re’ is and they don’t.
They want to write better at work.
Good news! We can help, no matter what your I-want-to-write-better-message is.
To build writer-confidence, I suggest Creative Writing 101. Maybe you don’t know how to start, or you’ve tried but don’t like what you ended up with. Or maybe you want to start, but are shy about jumping in. Whatever the case, that’s the class to take. It’s a mix of general but substantive lectures and imagination-sparking writing exercises that don’t need to be shared with anyone but your instructor. You’ll slowly wade into the writing process. And what you learn will help in just about any scenario where you need to get words or thoughts on the page.
If it’s the mechanics of writing you’re after, take Grammar: The Basics. It gets into the nitty gritty of all the stuff you learned in school…and have promptly forgotten over the years. Subjects! Verbs! Adjectives and adverbs! Tenses, prepositions, punctuation of every stripe! You’ll get it all, and all of it will be presented in a fun, creative way, with interesting exercises and examples to make the kind of dry material anything but.
As for writing better at work, our Business Writing class teaches good practices – being clear, concise, specific, well-organized, efficient. But we have a special sauce. While for many, professional equals formal and stiff, we think the key to good business writing is to write like you. And that’s what we teach. Writing like a human being at work. Of course, you can’t email your boss or your clients like you’re writing to your college roommate. But colorful word choice or a phrase that’s quintessentially YOU or a bit of storytelling is more likely to connect you with your audience, while sounding robotic and cold is more distancing. Our class gives permission to loosen up…just enough.
So give us a call and let us unpack what you mean by “I want to write better.” We’re excited to help!
Ask DanaHow do I choose what kind of nonfiction course to take?
There ARE a lot of choices, aren’t there?
I like to think of our nonfiction choices existing along a spectrum depending on how far (or near) the writer is from the material she or he is writing.
On one end, Article Writing. Learning how to write articles for newspapers, magazines, or websites, print or digital.
Say you have a compelling story to tell. It’s not about you or anyone you know, or about something you did or experienced. But you think it’s interesting, and you think others will find it pretty interesting, too. You want to learn how to present ‘just the facts, ma’am’, but how to relate those facts with a storyteller’s flair.
We’re not talking front-page news here, but rather the story behind the story. Not “Hurricane Harvey Hits Texas” but how caravans of students from sororities and fraternities who had started at U of Texas/Austin just weeks before traveled to Houston to hand out water and offer a kind word to those who Harvey had flooded out of their homes. Article Writing I will break it all down for you, and help you report that story.
But what if YOU were one of those students, and wanted to tell the world what it was like to hand out that water and offer that kind word? Well, that’s the other end: Memoir Writing. The how to’s of writing first-person true stories carved out of the larger story of your life.
And in the middle? Essay & Opinion. Learning how to write about those do-gooding caravans of kids and opining on what you think that means about this generation of young people. So, not your story, but not neutral, either.
Of course, if you know you want to tell true stories, but you’re not sure what shade of true you want to pursue, take Creative Nonfiction 101 and you’ll get the whole Joseph’s Technicolor Dreamcoat of choices. A bit on article, memoir, and essay, but also profiles, travel pieces, and reviews in a tidy little 6-week exploration.
There are so many ways to go when it comes to creative nonfiction. And figuring out what’s right for you can be its own super-confusing narrative. Call us! We’re always happy to help. True story.
Ask DanaWhy isn't there a Novel Writing I course?
The message baked into that question: I want to write a novel but I’ve never taken a fiction writing class before and there’s nothing called ‘Novel I’, so what do I do?
And the answer: take Fiction I.
Because Fiction I is going to teach you the how-to’s of writing a piece of fiction, whether you’re wanting to write a short story or a novel.
The basics of fiction are the same for short stories as they are for novels: character, plot, point of view, description, dialogue, setting/pacing, voice, theme. So, by taking Fiction I, you’d be grounding yourself in what you need to build either type of piece.
I’ll let you in on a secret though: if you call our office, we’re going to nudge you ever so gently towards writing short stories first. Why? A few reasons.
One, it’s easier to learn the beginning/middle/end of the storytelling process working on something short than on something long. Novels have so many moving parts—multiple characters, long spans of time, often more than one location, sub-plots and story threads—and at the beginning, it’s enough to just understand the basic building blocks of making a story.
Two, it’s more…doable to craft something relatively short than it is to generate several hundred interesting, transporting, meaningful pages.
And three, there’s something very motivating about finishing something. Spoiler alert: novels take years to finish. But short stories take…well, less time than that. And, where it can be daunting, or even discouraging to go years without feeling the satisfaction of typing the words ‘The End’, think how energizing the opposite would be.
Now, don’t get me wrong. Writing a short story is not easy. Imagine the kind of skill, restraint, deftness it takes to bake the perfect cupcake. Writing ‘the perfect’ short story flexes those same muscles. But still, you’d probably have an easier time baking 12 perfect cupcakes for the school bake sale than a multi-layered wedding cake with frosting and filling and fondant ON YOUR OWN WEDDING DAY. Which is kind of what writing a novel is like.
I know, I know, you still want to write the Great Novel. But if you could craft a stand-alone short story around your novel-to-be’s main character, couldn’t that help you write that novel down the road? And build you as a writer in the process?
So, start with Fiction I. Learn your craft. Embrace the short story. Finish something. THEN take Novel II and tackle that big ole cake, with a confidence you’d never have had if you’d just jumped into the novel first.
When you’re ready for Novel II, you can take Novel II-Critique and get feedback on pages, or our new class Novel II-First Draft where you power-through an inaugural draft.
That’s the long and the short of it. But, of course, give us a call if you want to talk more.
Ask DanaWhat's the difference between Creative Writing 101 and Fiction Writing I?
This one comes in all the time. And we get it. When people think of ‘creative writing’, most think ‘fiction’.
Maybe it’s because that’s what ‘creative writing’ meant in grade school.
I remember being in 4th or 5th grade and having a creative writing ‘module’ in English class. And the focus was on making things up. It’s possible there was a flip-book involved or some version of a group story-writing experience, where the teacher (Mrs. Slain? Mr. Terban?) gave us a premise and everyone added their bit. But whatever it was, it was about spinning stories from our imagination.
At Gotham, when we say ‘creative writing’, we mean something…broader.
Creative Writing 101 introduces what storytelling is whether you’re telling a true story or letting your imagination fly. The class uses lecture, discussion, and weekly exercises to teach stuff that’s common to all stories, like story structure and character. But it also sharpens powers of imagination, observation, description, so newer writers (or vets wanting to shake things up) learn to look at the world through a writer’s eyes and mine what they see for story ideas. And it lets you wade into the writing waters slowly, so you build confidence: no big projects, just a chance to try it all out and see where the heat is.
Fiction I teaches the how to’s of tapping into your imagination and writing short stories or maybe, down the road, a novel. It breaks this one particular kind of writing into its fundamental parts—plot, character, dialogue, point of view, etc.—using lecture, discussion, examples, and writing exercises. Plus you get the chance to work on a story or two of your own design and get feedback on it from the instructor and the group. And give your peers feedback, too.
CR101 = general storytelling, lasts 6 weeks, weekly writing but no major project.
Fiction I = specific, lasts 10 weeks, weekly writing AND yes major project.
Which is right for you? Give us a call and we can talk it through!

On the Bay of Plenty coast overlooking New Zealand’s only active marine volcano, Whakatane is a stunning town to spend a while. The mix of long-stretching beaches, rugged coastal headlands and native bush provide some stunning landscapes to explore, therefore keeping the activity costs to a minimum when you can just “enjoy the view”. On top of that, there are more cheap things to do and free things to do in Whakatane that will keep anyone entertained, both day and night.
In between filling up your time in Whakatane with these free and cheap activities, make sure you don’t miss the highlights on the town on this 10 Whakatane Must-Dos list! To help you stick to your budget in Whakatane, choose from these 5 Best Backpacker Hostels in Whakatane.
With 11km of sweeping gold-sand beach looking out to the vast Pacific Ocean, Ohope Beach is one of the most-loved beaches in the Bay of Plenty (and the whole of New Zealand for that matter!) The area gets an abundance of sunshine and warm water in summer making it a super popular holiday destination.
Hidden over the headlands at the west side of Ohope Beach is Otarawairere Bay. It’s the perfect picture opportunity with ancient pohutukawa trees lining the beach and shells scattered across the sand. Explore the tidal pools and enjoy the serenity of this bay that is often secluded.

Location: Esplanade Mall Kakahoroa Drive.
This 18km loop walk takes in the best coastal scenery and historic pa sites in the Whakatane and Ohope area. Marvel at the views from the cliff tops, find yourself secluded beaches, and walk in the forest to the sound of native birds. Either tackle the whole 18km or just do small sections of the walk that we list in 10 Must-Do Walks in Whakatane.
The Ohope Scenic Reserve is not only an amazing place to do bush walks but is home to more than 300 kiwi! Take a walk after dark to hear (or maybe even see) kiwi birds foraging at night. You’ll also see lots of nighttime critters like tree weta, glowworms, eels, spiders and more. Signs with reflective markers point out wildlife hangouts along the way, so take a torchlight and enjoy this 1-hour loop walk. The walk is also part of the Nga Tapu o Toi (see above).
Location: Start from the car park and carved archway on Ohope Road.
Whakatane is lucky to have not one but two berry farms selling super fresh berry ice creams. Watch the orchard workers pack berries through the viewing windows at Blueberry Corner or play mini golf and feed the farm animals at Julians Berry Farm. Note that these venues are only open from late September through to March.
Location: Julians Berry Farm, 12 Huna Road and Blueberry Corner, 364 Thornton Road.
You can always rely on the cinema to kill a couple of hours without spending too much! It’s no different in Whakatane where the Whakamax shows the latest blockbusters and serves delicious ice cream, waffles and coffee. Don’t miss their Cheap Tuesdays where it’s NZ$9 per adult all day.

Wander among rose gardens, herb gardens, walkways lined with bulbs, shrubs and perennials in the beautiful Whakatane Gardens. There’s even a small Japanese garden that was contributed by Whakatane’s sister city in Japan, Kamagaya, which makes a lovely photo opportunity. In summer, you’re likely to stumble upon a concert, play or cultural event at the amphitheatre.
Location: On the Whakatane Riverbank between McGarvey Road and McAlister Street.
A great place to take a walk and hang out with friends is at the Awatapu Lagoon. This lagoon was once part of the Whakatane River and is now surrounded by lush vegetation and native trees. You’re also likely to see a few birds here too.
Location: Awatapu Drive and Hinemoa Street.
Accessible from the city centre, the Warren Cole Walkway is a sealed walkway and cycleway following the Whakatane River. The walk runs between the Whakatane River Bridge and the Whakatane Heads on a journey past sculptures, parks, wharves and more. The walk takes around 1 hour to complete both ways.
Location: There are several access points along the Whakatane Riverbank in the city centre.
History and amazing views combine on this stunning walk Ohope. The distinct terraces can be seen carved into the hill of this once fortified Maori village. The pa site was occupied for around 200 years thanks to its strategic position overlooking the Ohiwa Harbour. Learn all about its fascinating history at the interpretation panels at the beginning of the 30-minute walk.
Location: About 300m on the left past the start of Wainui Road, Ohope.
A small yet colourful park, Waiewe Camellia Park will brighten anyone’s day, especially in spring. See vibrant camellias and michelias in this small reserve that has restored by the local community.
An easy walk for the whole family, the White Pine Bush Reserve loop walk takes only 30 minutes through stands of amazing kahikatea trees (white pine). The forest harbours many bird species like tui, fantail, bellbird and much more!
The best place to get views of Whakatane is at the Puketapu Lookout. Puketapu (sacred hill) has been a lookout site for the local Maori, the Ngati Awa iwi, for more than 600 years. The site is now a reserve where you can park up and enjoy the views.
Location: Intersection at Hillcrest and Seaview Roads.
With fresh seafood and shellfish right off the coast, Whakatane is a great place to experience the local cuisine. Whatever your taste or mood, there is a Whakatane restaurant/takeaway/cafe to suit!

Irrevocable gifts, whether made available for current use or committed now for future use, qualify for immediate income tax deductions, which can be taken annually up to a portion of adjusted gross income and carried forward an additional five years. These include outright gifts made during one’s lifetime, certain charitable lead trusts, charitable remainder trusts, and some gifts of life insurance.
Estate and gift tax relief can also be achieved through several of the types of gifts mentioned above. Bequests, in particular, are helpful for donors seeking to reduce or even eliminate estate taxes.
Capital gains tax savings are possible when long-term appreciated property (e.g., securities and, in some cases, real estate) is donated through outright gifts or charitable remainder trusts.

text: In the late 1800s Westhampton served as the last stop on the line from the City of Richmond on the nation’s first trolley system, becoming a summer retreat for many people in the area. St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, St. Catherine’s School, St. Christopher’s School and the Country Club of Virginia attracted many families to the neighborhood and soon Westhampton was developed beyond just summer cottages and farmhouses. Today, this vibrant area is busy with restaurants and attractive retail stores, as well as churches and schools. This tour tells the history of the area by showcasing a variety of private homes of different ages. An original summer cottage on Cary Street Road, a farmhouse on York Road and several homes on historic Three Chopt Road including an early 1920s country estate will be open.

I’m sorry to say it, but I’m glad to see the back of the poppy season. The omnipresence of poppies on television, the competitive patriotism of the tabloids and the increasingly reflexive tendency to refer to all servicemen as ‘heroes’ has made me a bit twitchy over the past few years, but it was really brought into focus by the ludicrous storm in a teacup over FIFA’s refusal to let England team wear shirts with poppies on them. Perhaps most creepy was hearing that both the sports minister and David Cameron had described the poppy as ‘a symbol of national pride’, which I found genuinely unnerving.
Unnerving because when you come from the same culture as someone, you assume that there are some basic cultural touchstones whose meaning is well-established and uncontroversial. I thought everyone brought up in this country agreed that the poppy was a symbol of remembrance for those killed and injured in war; David Cameron saying it is a symbol of national pride is as unexpected as if he said that on a traffic light, red means go.
The whole thing would make me even more uneasy if I thought there was any chance that all this very public symbolism had much chance of turning into anything more sinister. Because if Britain had a history of military coups, I would be wondering if we were heading for the point where we wake up one morning to find a tank parked on the doorstep of 10 Downing Street and a TV bulletin with a man in uniform announcing that, for the sake of national stability, the army had reluctantly found it necessary to install themselves in a transitional government which would of course be strictly temporary.
But we are not that country, and I don’t think that all the slightly shrill rhetoric about sticking up for our boys is really militaristic in origin. It’s that ‘our boys’ have done an awful lot of fighting over the past few years, in wars which no one is very enthusiastic about any more. Thankfully they’re out of Iraq, which started to seem stupid, ill-conceived and counterproductive almost immediately, but Afghanistan just keeps grinding on for year after year and it becomes harder and harder to see what the point is. And on top of that, although it’s something the the tabloids are unlikely to say out loud, there’s the sense that the British forces haven’t actually enhanced their reputation; that they went in with a lot of big talk about their professionalism and expertise in counterinsurgency, and ended up having to be bailed out by the Americans.
So there’s a deep well of anxiety associated with the subject of our armed forces. And if it was a conscript army currently fighting in Afghanistan, that anxiety would probably be expressed directly as anti-war protests. Instead it gets manifested as an insistence that all our fighting men are ‘heroes’ by definition, and as ever more elaborate public displays of support.
However, even if the whole business is, in the end, mostly harmless, it still makes me twitchy. Hopefully now Remembrance Sunday has passed for another year, the press will at least turn down the intensity a couple of notches — although the Mail and the Mirror both have front page headlines about ‘our heroes’ today, so perhaps I’m being too optimistic.

text: There are several unique health benefits associated with utilizing an electric foot massager. The foot massager machines available on the market today are perfect for any person that wishes to optimize their general level of health in one way or another. There are several different makes and models available on the market today. These are perfectly suited for professionals, students, and other types of individuals. Throughout the years, several different studies have been conducted on the topic of foot massages and the health benefits that are reaped by individuals that receive them. Throughout this health guide, you will learn about the benefits that were identified during these studies. In order to understand the benefits associated with an electric foot massager, it is first important to understand that there are many reflex points on the foot. As a matter of fact, it has been established by medical professionals that every single organ located throughout the body is connected to one of these reflex points. There are a total of approximately three hundred individual nerves that make this connection possible. This means that a foot massager is effective in stimulating the organs in the body. In addition to this, a massage that occurs in the foot region of the body also assists in optimizing the blood circulation of the body. Furthermore, the circulation of the lymph throughout the body is also optimized. In addition to the fact that an electric foot massage assists in the physiological benefits highlighted above, it has been established that this type of machine assists in promoting and instilling a sense of calmness. Individuals that suffer from complications such as high levels of stress, varying degrees of depression, and various types of anxiety may also benefit from subjecting their feet to a foot massage machine. Those that are able to get a massage to the feet on a regular basis have established that they are able to think more clearly, solve problems more creatively and easily, and seem to have higher energy levels than those that are not subjected to the functionality of an electric foot massager on a regular basis. There are many health conditions and complications that may be dealt with through the use of a foot massage. For example, if a person has gastrointestinal complications such as constipation they could identify the section of the foot that has the nerves that are attached to the colon. Once this step is performed, they could ensure that they place that section of the foot on the foot massager machine for an extended amount of time. This will actually stimulate the colon so that the complication of constipation is successfully overcome. In the same respect, many use an electric foot massager in order to treat conditions such as high blood pressure, to overcome infections in certain areas of the body, and to assist in conditions such as arthritis and fibromyalgia. An electric foot massager is a simple machine to operate. It usually plugs into a basic 110 electrical outlet and operates according to the setting that it is placed on. While there are many inexpensive models on the market, such as the "Relaxzen Foot Massager with Heat" and the "HoMedics Therapist Select Shiatsu Foot Massager", these often include limited features and only basic levels of functionality. If you are interested in a foot massager that will truly optimize your health, it is important to go with the more advanced electric home foot massager such as the "MediRub Foot Massager" or models that are similar in nature.

• XP4M-1 - Prototype aircraft with 2 x R-4360-4 series engines fitted; two examples completed.
• P4M-1 - Production-quality aircraft; fitted with 2 x R-4360-20A series engines; 19 examples completed.
• P4M-1Q - Radar CounterMeasures (CM) conversion model; based on existing P4M-1 framework.
Detailing the development and operational history of the Martin P4M Mercator Maritime Patrol Bomber Aircraft. Entry last updated on 1/16/2019. Authored by Staff Writer. Content ©www.MilitaryFactory.com.
During the later stages of World War 2 (1939-1945), the United States Navy (USN) began an active search for a new long-ranged maritime patrol bomber to succeed an aging fleet of Consolidated PB4Y "Privateer" aircraft in same role. Two potential candidates emerged from the competing firms of the Glenn L. Martin Company (Martin) and Lockheed and these became the P4M "Mercator" and P2V "Neptune", respectively. In the end, however, the latter was selected for serial production and frontline service while the P4M was taken only into limited service to satisfy a long-ranged electronic reconnaissance role for the USN - this resulted in just nineteen aircraft being built.
The aircraft that would become the "Mercator" was known in-house as the "Model 219" and work began as soon as 1944 on the type (World War 2 ended in 1945). In its prototype form the aircraft recorded a first-flight on October 20th, 1946 and flew with 2 x Pratt & Whitney R-4360-4 "Wasp Major" air-cooled radial piston engines providing necessary power and performance to go along with the range required of maritime types (often operating over swathes of uninhabited, landless terrain).
At this stage during the "age of the jet engine", it proved somewhat common for American warplanes to feature a "combination" propulsion scheme so 2 x Allison J33 series turbojets were added to augment performance for the aircraft - either to reduce the runway take-off length required or escape from pursuing enemy interceptors. The jet systems relied on the same fuel as the prop-driven radials so only a common fuel supply was necessary.
Standard installed armament became 2 x 20mm autocannons in the nose, an additional 2 x 20mm autocannons at the tail, and 2 x 0.50 caliber Heavy Machine Guns (HMGs) in a dorsal turret. In this fashion, the aircraft would defend itself from most any position an enemy was approaching from (save the underside). The optional bomb load could be made up of conventional drop bombs, naval mines, depth charges, or torpedoes up to a 12,000lb total war load.
The aircraft was given a very slim top-down profile, its fuselage glazed at both nose and tail. The cockpit was seated aft and above the nose section as in a typical "stepped" arrangement so this elevated position could improve pilot vision over the aircraft and towards each engine. The engines were underslung at each mainplane, extending noticeably forward from the leading edges. The bomb bay buried within the fuselage was equal in length to the engines. Instead of fitting the main landing gear into the engines, the legs were positioned outboard of the nacelles and recessed into the wings (folding outwards from centerline). The nosewheel was positioned under the mass of the nose section to complete the tricycle arrangement needed for ground-running. The tail unit incorporated an elegantly-shaped single rudder fin with low-mounted, upward-canted horizontal planes. The wing mainplanes were situated directly at midships and were slim in their own right, tapering from centerline to wing tip along both the leading and trailing edges.
Two prototypes were ultimately built to the "XP4M-1" standard and these flew with R-4360-4 engines followed by the production-standard "P4M-1" models of which nineteen were built and these carried 2 x R-4360-20A series engines into service. The "P4M-1Q" designation was used to mark P4M-1 airframes converted as radar countermeasures platforms (SIGnals INTelligence = "SIGINT").
As finalized, the P4M-1 would go one to carry a complete crew of nine and, structurally, it had an overall length of 85.1 feet, a wingspan of 114 feet and a height of 26 feet. Empty weight was 48,535lb with a Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW) of 88,380 feet. Power was from 2 x Pratt & Whitney R-4360 "Wasp Major" air-cooled radial piston engines of 3,250 horsepower each and these were aided by 2 x Allison J33-A-23 turbojet engines of 4,600 thrust each. Performance included a maximum speed of 410 miles-per-hour, a range out to 2,850 miles, and a service ceiling up to 35,000 feet. The aircraft was fitted with the AN/APS-33 search radar.
Even as Lockheed's Neptune design went on to win the original USN requirement, the value of the Mercator was not overlooked by authorities as a mine-laying platform so a production order for the design followed in 1947 leading to service entry in 1950. As soon as 1951, the fleet was converted for the SIGINT role and operated under the aforementioned P4M-1Q designation - these flew with additional mission support equipment and more crewmembers for the revised role.
In this guise, Mercators undertook daring, often dangerous, spying missions around communist territories near the likes of the Soviet Union, China, North Korea, and Vietnam. On August 22nd, 1956, a Mercator was shot down by Chinese interceptors, killing all aboard, and another such incident followed with the Soviet Union over Mediterranean waters after the Mercator was caught near Ukraine. Similarly, North Korean interceptors met a Mercator with gunfire though the American warplane managed to survive the encounter and limp home.
Once their useful service lives were over (and pure jet aircraft took over in full), the Mercator line was given up in favor of the Douglas A-3 "Skywarrior" through its "EA-3B" guise. Unlike the Mercator, the Skywarrior was compact enough to be operated from, and be stored below, the decks of American carriers of the period. The last Mercator was retired in 1960 and none of the surviving airframes were spared.

How to build a really strong team, have great fun and learn how to sail – all at the same time!!
Are you interested in sailing? Do you work as part of a team? Does your success in business depend on your ability to work well with others? If yes, then read on! What do sailing and teambuilding have to do with each other? Well, for many years businesses have sent their key teams on various 'courses' to enable them to improve the way they work together and so help them to achieve better results. These 'courses' could have been in the classroom, in the forest, up a mountain or some other challenging environment. But now, there is another choice, a more fun and more appropriate choice – sailing! Firstly, let's consider what 'teambuilding' really means. What is a team? “A team is a group of people who share common objectives and who need to work together to achieve them“. This describes almost any department or company; it also describes a group of people on a boat. In order to survive and excel in the business world or at sea, we must learn how to better work together to help us all achieve our common goals; how to move from A to B. So, what is teamwork? “The challenge for every organisation is to build a feeling of ‘oneness’, of dependence on one another… because the question is usually not how well each person works, but how well they work together.”In other words, our individual skills and abilities don’t count for much if we can’t use these to work with others, to combine our resources, our strengths and our skills in order to achieve even better results. Today, we do not work in isolation, we need to develop partnerships, customer supplier relationships, employer employee relationships that will enable us to offer more, offer better or offer faster. Sailing is an excellent analogy for this. In order to really learn about teambuilding in a truly practical way, it’s not only about having a ‘team experience’.
It’s also about having a facilitator who can help you to analyse and review your strengths and weaknesses as individuals and as a team, to help you to review what you are trying to achieve and how you can best work together to achieve this and to provide you with a opportunity to try this out, learn from your experiences and move forward in a positive and constructive way. This brings us back to sailing! Sailing is an excellent environment, to combine all these factors together; and now you can do this in an intelligent, fun and structured way. Interested?

Christine Ray references familiar fairytales, song lyrics and expressions from childhood as she leads us from a place of mental illness, through the pain of the growing-up years into self-discovery. We deal with the past by putting it down again and again.
Through her use of strong, stark imagery we look in the mirror with the poet and face ourselves and all the monsters who maimed, the demons we’ve survived, and the dragon who longs to burst out of her self-actualized breast to embrace her freedom.

How would you like to spend less that one minute a month paying your personal bills -- and better yet, never have to receive a personal bill in the mail again? Thanks to PayTrust, this is all possible and has been for years. As I said in the title, I love this service and have been using it for over five years. Because of PayTrust, I spend less than one minute a month on my personal bills and have not opened up a paper bill in years.
The service is very simple. All you do is create an account, and then have your bills mailed to a new PO Box address that you are given. Once your bills arrive, they are scanned and posted for you to view and ultimately to pay when you are ready. Electronic bills can also arrive directly to your account.
We also have a second PayTrust account for the business. Here again all of our bills are mailed to a PO Box and immediately scanned in. The beauty of this is that both our bookkeeper and I can view the bills, yet neither one of us have to open and scan them. To me, this alone is worth the cost of the service. For the corporate account we pay $18.95 because we have them send us a monthly CD with all the scanned bills for our permanent records.
It’s interesting to note that for our corporation we do not use PayTrust to pay the bills received. This is because when bills are paid through PayTrust, they do not show up in Quickbooks until they clear and this does not work for our bookkeeper. She wants bills paid to show up immediately in Quickbooks. So she just pays the bills directly from Quickbooks online.
If you are spending more than five or ten minutes a month on your personal bills, give PayTrust a try. Here is a link to PayTrust and other cash management tools we recommend.

In the last few years, we have seen a growing demand for leg-beautifying treatments. Before, there were no simple and effective treatments for this area. Today, however, new fat treatment techniques have enabled us to provide an effective solution with easily-reproducible results by combining liposuction with fat transfers in order to reshape the legs.
Liposuction was developed nearly 30 years ago by French Doctors Illouz and Fournier. Numerous laser, ultrasound and radiofrequency lipolysis machines are now available to practitioners. These devices are undoubtedly the future, but for the moment they should be considered more for their ability to complement the actions of classic liposuction. Thanks to recent technical fine-tuning, liposuction is still the go-to technique for reshaping the figure. The use of thinner and more efficient cannulas to carry out circumferential liposuction enables us to achieve natural-looking results, guaranteeing centripetal skin retraction. This aspect is particularly important on the legs.
Liposuction enables us to permanently remove steatomeries on the ankles, which can give the appearance of “tree trunk legs”. A steatomery is a deep, localised fat store which cannot be reduced through diet and/or physical exercise.
Liposuction involves introducing blunt-tipped cannulas into small incisions (3mm) and sucking out the fat lobules without damaging the surrounding tissue. Since these adipocytes do not have the ability to re-multiply, they will never come back.
The latest generation of cannulas enable us to carry out superficial liposuction without affecting the tissue that lies just underneath, an aspect which is vital when treating the calf area.
There are two main types of treatment to reshape the upper calf area: silicone implants and injections of autologous fat coupled with liposuction. Silicone implants run the risk of being visible and noticeable to the touch, and are therefore little used. Furthermore, they only correct the aesthetic appearance of the upper posterior part of the calf. Fat injections, on the other hand, can be placed precisely where they are needed.
This new tool was developed properly in North America by Sydney Coleman, with techniques designed to help us achieve long-lasting and easily-reproducible results. The non-traumatic manipulation of fat is the key to its success: at every stage (extraction, purification and reinjection), a minimum amount of damage must be made in order to ensure optimum adipocyte survival rate. The technique was quickly adopted and improved, which has led to it being used to treat a wide range of indications. The main development in the last few years has been to use much finer cannulas in order to improve the survival rate of the transplanted adipocytes. Similarly, we now use much gentler purification techniques (low speed centrifugation) which optimises the viability of the adipocytes and produces more fluid fat. This in turn enables us to carry out more accurate and less damaging fat transfers on the calf, which is a particularly adhesive and vascular area.
Liposuction of the ankles, possibly combined with the redefinition of the calves using fat transfers, is the go-to technique for reshaping the legs. The new, shapelier legs breathe life into the whole figure, making it look more lightweight and dynamic.
A general anaesthetic or epidural is required. The procedure usually takes between 30 and 90 minutes.
The after-effects are not too painful and only require out-patient admittance or a maximum of 24 hours in hospital.
It costs between 3,000 and 6,000 Euros to reshape the legs.

Well it seems after the wonderful organization and creativity put up by the organizers of Ghana Meets Naija, Empire has some small downs.
Ghanaian musician Ishmael Nii Ardey aka Nii Funny has expressed his feelings about the organizers not allowing his child performer (Dancer) perform with him on stage at the 6th Edition of the Ghana Meets Naija and same organizers have allowed Talented Kids Champion DJ Switch perform yesterday at the Ghana Meets Naija concert.
"Last Year I Performed @ Ghana Meet Niger But Unfortunately They Did Not Allow My Dancer Emelia Cudjoe Of Tv3 Talented Kids Fame To Perform, Because The Organisers Of The Event Claim Kids Are Not Allow To Perform On Any Stage In Ghana After 6pm Can Someone Give Me The Specific Time Dj Switch Performed Yesterday On This Same Ghana Meet Niger.Hmmmm If I Talk P3 Them Go Talk Say Ga Boys Not Dey Respect." He said.
"Last year, organisers of Ghana Meets Naija gave me the opportunity to be on the show. It was a free performance but I'm grateful for it.
The organisers and my manager spoke and agreed on my stage craft for about two weeks.
Based on that arrangement we started rehearsal and bought our costumes for our crew.
We got to the venue on the day of the event for sound check only to be told by the organisers that I have to change my stage act because it involves a 9 year old girl.
They insisted the girl can NEVER go on a Ghana Meets Naija stage because it was a night show and in Ghana children are not permitted to perform after 6pm.
They also raised an argument that one of the sponsors was an alcoholic beverage.
I had no choice but to perform dry without any craft. I was not happy.
Clearly DJ Switch is a child and just about same age with my little dancer.
Indeed both of them contested in the recent Talented Kids show on TV3.
So I ask myself why the double standards.
And oh yes, Alomo Bitters, an alcoholic beverage was a sponsor of this year's Ghana Meets Naija.
They even mounted a stand right in the auditorium and sold their products there while DJ Switch was live on stage.
Hmmmmm... if I open my mouth p3, they would say Bukom boys do not respect". He added.

The colors that have dominated design trends for the past several years are toning down.
According to Sherwin-Williams, “alabaster” is the color for 2016, while the Color Marketing Group says “uni-blue” is the North American key color to follow. Interestingly, Pantone says, “rose quartz and serenity”—a blend of two soft tones—are the colors of the year.
Couple the intensity of our world with the blurred lines of gender and we see almost a demand for neutrality in our color selections. With more women in the executive suite and more men in the kitchen, color trends seek to encourage and complement our lives.
No matter the reason, it’s easy to incorporate the new color trends into most any design. Angela Sims-Nuessle, member of the Color Marketing Group, says, “The 2016 color trends offer a nice bridge from warm to cool and allow for a lot of flexibility in design.” Introducing neutrals and softer tones is a great way to relax the atmosphere of a room, add a sense of calm and create an inviting retreat.
