I got back into film almost exactly two years ago. Last year I made a similar post, going through what it was like after one year with film. Now that another year has passed, I thought it would be a good time to see how the second year has treated me.
But first, as a recap, I'd like to quickly tell how I got back into film in the first place. It may be hard to squeeze this into few words, because a lot of things kind of fell into place at the same time, so please bear with me.
Returning to film photography
In 2016 I was very frustrated with my photography in many ways. I had become an iPhone shooter and I rarely touched the DSLR. I've always felt a great disconnect with DSLR's anyways, since they've always seemed too complicated to use. I was probably drawn into iPhone photography and point-and-shoots for that reason alone. They are just so simple. I've always believed that content is more important than the form, thus not giving much emphasis on the technicality. But in the case of mobile shooting, I really started to miss so called real gear and better optical performance.
I especially remember returning from a hiking trip and being extremely disappointed with my photos, that were shot with an iPhone and my kit lens equipped Nikon. The optical quality just didn't cut it, so I decided to start upgrading my gear. Looking back at it, there was a lot of my own fault of course, but none the less it kickstarted my shopping spree. It was also the last time I lugged a DSLR with me. During that hiking trip, I busted my knee and I really started to dislike such big and heavy systems.
Primarily being interested in a lighter carry, and a more packable size, I ended up trying out mirrorless cameras. While I was at it, I discovered the wonderful world of adapting vintage lenses, which I happened to have plenty of, from my film days. As I was going through all my old gear, I didn't only find my old lenses, but the old cameras as well. As a teenager I shot with my Canon T-70 and Canon AE-1 and it felt really nice to see those old cameras again. I was especially intrigued to try out the AE-1 again. In fact, I quickly lost interest in my new mirrorless cameras and found myself shooting with the AE-1 instead. It honestly felt like coming home after being lost for a long time. I definitely wasn't planning to become a film shooter, but that is exactly what happened. I have not put down my film cameras ever since I started shooting analog again. I've shot practically every day. It just seems like a gift that keeps on giving.
End of the honeymoon
So as I mentioned, it has been now two years since I returned to film. The first year seemed more or less like a honeymoon. That phase has clearly gone away now and film shooting doesn't seem anything new or exotic anymore. In the beginning I kept comparing it too much on digital photography, because that's where we primarily come from. Now film photography has standardised and the so called film part of it doesn't seem like a big deal anymore. I'm just a photographer just as any other one. Nowadays it is harder and harder to bear in mind that someone might perceive film photography somehow rare or marginal. I'm at a point where film photography feels just like any other form of photography. Every once in a while, someone asks me whether that's a film camera I'm shooting with. On those occasions, I temporarily remember being an analog shooting weirdo. On any other given time, I feel like a normal person, so to speak.
Now that the honeymoon is over, I'm in a pretty solid and well-functioning relationship with analog photography. I've met my dream companion, the Leica M6, who seems to be always hanging from my neck. We go hand in hand everywhere. We've had some great experiences together and done awesome things. Film photography has been a very supportive companion in many other ways as well. In times of stress and extreme depression, it has provided me a safe space and much comfort. Film photography can be calming and meditative. The kind of slow and mindful shooting, that is typical of all manual film shooting, can really take your mind away from worries, when everything else is falling to pieces. At that point photography becomes much more than just a hobby.
Kodak Tri-x is still my favourite film. I've shot a lot of T-max 400 and 100 too. This year, I've shot some colour film as well, but I've always came back to black and white. Colour just doesn't seem to be my thing. I've also tried out just about every other film on the market during the past year, but nothing just can't beat Tri-x.
Gathering the body of work
During my first year, I naturally didn't have much of a film photography portfolio. I remember being a bit worried about gathering a solid body of work, because I really didn't even want to showcase any of my so called old (pre-returning to film) work. I was perhaps a bit hasty even, but I really just wanted to shoot a lot and to build up that body of work. Now I've shot probably around 200 rolls (estimate) and had my portfolio to a level I'm satisfied with. That has really taken the pressure off from my shoulders and I don't feel like I have to haste any more. If the first year's goal was to build up a body of work, the second year seemed to be honing that down. Especially during the past spring and summer, things really started to click in my head and I started to be able to produce work that I was really happy about. I got to a higher gear almost immediately after the first year of shooting and this years results has been extremely satisfying. At the moment I feel mentally really exhausted, because I've been shooting so much. I've used up all my photography stamina. As I'm writing this, I'm of course still shooting, but mentally taking a break from pushing myself and slowing down considerably.
Street photography and cinematic portraits
Street photography has always been my thing, even before I knew such a term existed. It is still the style of shooting that gives me the most satisfaction, but sometimes it is so damn demanding, that I need a break from it. That's why I came up with the idea of getting into a specific type of portraiture as well. There are so many things that the photographer can't be in control of in street photography, that I wanted to get into something else as well, to counter balance it.
In the beginning of 2018 I started my cinematic portrait project that draws inspiration from street photography and from old movies, especially 1960's italian cinema. The idea is simply to take photos that look candid, where the subject seem to be unaware of the presence of the camera, creating the look and feel of a movie still (no smiles, no eye contact). That way I'm able to be more in control of the image, which is something that is usually impossible in street photography. I can't help myself, that is just something that I crave for. The results may not be as satisfying as capturing a candid moment of the street, but as a portrait concept, it is something that allows me to create just the kind of classic imagery that I love. It brings the much needed variation to the street photography routine.
The gift that keeps on giving
Film photography has also opened up a ton of other new possibilities during the past couple of years. In that way it feels like a gift that keeps on giving. Ever since I grabbed that AE-1, there has been a lot of movement and a constantly speeding up momentum, which just didn't happen in my digital photography days. That is one of the reason I've not stopped. It seems like there's a new present waiting me around every corner, much like in street photography.
In last September I attended an event hosted by Camera Rescue (a.k.a Camera Ventures). I got to meet a lot of cool people in the film photography scene, such as Japan Camera Hunter, Bellamy Hunt, which was a total omg omg moment for me. Ever since I've been involved in a dozen of cool projects in the analog world. For example late last year I started a huge film testing project called Film Marathon which aims to test 42 rolls of different kinds of films and to provide real life sample images and documentation in my native finnish language. The series can be found at www.kamerakoulu.fi — a finnish photography blog with the emphasis on educational content. Sure there are plenty of film reviews in english, but the same can't be said about every language. I've felt very good about contributing to the film community by providing helpful information for fellow film shooters.
Summa summarum
All in all, my second year in film has been very fruitful. I never would have guessed how much this film thing could affect my life in the first place, and it is equally surprising to have another great year following the first one. My only regret is that I didn't get into this sooner. Maybe the time would have not been right any sooner, but I still can't help feeling this way. As I'm entering my third year of film photography, my plan is to continue with the street photography, as I'm now just starting to get the hang of it. I'll continue with the cinematic portrait project as well. On top of that, I honestly can't wait what'll happen in the future. Film photography became a big part of my lifestyle immediately after picking up that AE-1 and has provided me a creative journey unlike anything before.

The bastards tore down the old Dunkin' Donuts sign on North Beacon in Allston-Brighton. Bullshit. The cinetrix is pointing a finger at new spokesentity Rachael Ray. She may well be right, morally speaking. Rach seems to be part of a shift away from the company's core mission of delivering a cracklike jolt of sugar, caffeine and grease to the brainstems of the lunchpail set and towards a future as some sort of downmarket bastard offspring of Starbucks and Panera. The Kentucky Fried Chicken/KFC style initials-only rebrand is a dead giveaway.
In more innocent times, I was fond of opining that Dunkin' was Larry Flynt to Starbucks's Hugh Hefner. While Hef had the whole classy graphic equalizer/single malt scotch/no genitalia thing going on, Flynt was redefining the idea of clinical detail with every issue. While Playboy/Starbucks offered an aspirational target, Hustler/Dunkin' Donuts gave working America what it really needed to get the job done. But no more. Last I checked, Playboy was chasing the nothing left to the imagination demo, and Dunks is trying to move on up to Latte Land on the shoulders of Rachael Ray, who incidentally is to sexy what Olestra is to butter. And thanks to our keen-eyed European correspondent for the shocking evidence.

A 'cinema caravan' travels through Extremadura discovering locations
Over the course of four weeks, a caravan customized with the iconography of the film "Viaje a la Luna" by Georges Méliès, will travel through six regions of Extremadura. A photographer (Marino Scandurra) and a documentary maker (Pedro Sara), together with the support of a production team, will create a wide and varied photographic and videographic catalogue, collecting not only unique locations for film and television shootings, but also the people and "movie-worthy" stories of those places. The obtained results will be the basis for the design and production of communication and marketing materials of the Extremadura Film Commission.
"Cinema caravan" is a project of the Extremadura Culture Foundation and the Regional Ministry of Culture and Equality of the "Junta de Extremadura" and is part of the activities developed by the regional filming office "Extremadura Film Commission" and the brand "Extremadura Audio-visual" . It has funding from the Provincial Councils of Cáceres and Badajoz, as well as from the Extremadura Youth Institute; with the collaboration of the company Sonobox and the City Councils of Alburquerque, Cañamero, Castañar de Ibor, Guadalupe, Hoyos, Jerez de los Caballeros, Llerena and Valencia de Alcántara.
Among the project's objectives, there is also making the audio-visual heritage of the region known among the people of Extremadura themselves, as well as the talent of the home-grown filmmakers who are being recognized in the international industry. All this through eight night exhibitions of short films of the Jara Catalogue and four Workshops of Cinematographic creation in the Spaces for the Young Creation of the Institute of the Extremadura Youth Institute, where the cinema will be used as an artistic language and cultural manifestation with the youngest ones.
During the month of August the post-production of images and video pieces, the dumping of material on the new Extremadura Film Commission website, and the continuation of communication on social networks will take place.

There she is in the image on your left, America, as seen on TV by millions. Lois Lerner, as spooky as a Chucky doll, sitting defiantly before your Congress in its IRS Targeting investigation.
Apparently BIG Democrat donor and IRS commissioner John Koskinen wasn't lying, when he said all of Lerner's emails weren't lost. The Ways and Means committee just turned up this one, targeting Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA).
Startling new emails from the woman at the center of the IRS tea party-targeting scandal show that in 2012 she suggested referring Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley for a possible audit.
The email exchange — released by the Republican-controlled House Ways and Means Committee on Wednesday — took place in December 2012, and shows that Lois Lerner, former director of the IRS' Exempt Organizations Unit, mistakenly received an invitation to speak at an event. Her invitation was meant for Grassley.
Lerner and Grassley were both invited to speak at a seminar, ABC News noted. The group mixed up their tickets and Grassley's invitation indicated the group was also paying for Grassley's wife to travel and attend the seminar. Grassley's wife, Barbara, is a lobbyist.
The House Ways and Means Committee did not name the group hosting the seminar, but said instead of forwarding the invitation to Grassley's office, Lerner immediately suggested that the issue should be referred for examination.
Lerner commented in an email to a colleague that the organizers of the event "inappropriately offered to pay" for Grassley's wife, and suggested Grassley be referred for a possible audit.
The colleague, Matthew Giuliano, a legal counsel at the Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division of the IRS, later shot the idea down, the exchange shows.
"I think the offer to pay for Grassley's wife is income to Grassley, and not prohibited on its face," he wrote, according to the email chain.
After hearing from Giuliano, Lerner dropped the idea, but not without the snarky observation that she wouldn't "want to be on stage with Grassley on this issue."
Grassley was stunned.
Well get over it, you corn-husking tea party hick. What do you think this is, your America? Lois Lerner has spent 30 years above the law, terrorizing everyday Americans, without fear of recrimination from anyone. Do you think you're any different?
If you are an American who still admits to voting for Obama, then you probably think this outrageous illegal targeting of some citizens will never apply to you.
Good luck with the therapy, nimrod.
They say the Rorschach tests are fun.

One day, when I browsed some images and video on the Pinterest, an image uploaded by dearlives.com about this Halloween DIY Contest was showed before my eyes and I saved it.
In order to welcome this Halloween, a Halloween themed cake (pumpkin cake) was prepared by me. In the process of doing this one, I have tried many times but enjoy it. Fortunately, I succeeded. Today, I will make this Halloween DIY Contest again and record a video to explain the step. Now, let's start it!
Step 1:Prepare what you need
Cling film
Tin foil
80g sugar
3 eggs
250g pumpkin pulp
200ml fresh cream
25g cake flour
4 pumpkins
Step 2:Cook these pumpkins
Before covering these pumpkins with Cling film, you need to wash them and then put them into the oven until they get soft and can eat them. Next, take them out and cut the upper part as a lid. Now, you can remove seeds first and then separate the pulp from the pumpkin with the spoon but leave 1cm to avoid staving the surface of the pumpkin.
Step 3:Prepare the material of the cake
Put the prepared material into the blender until they are mixed well. The materials include 250g pumpkin pulp, 80g sugar, 25g cake flour, 3 eggs, 200ml fresh cream.
Step 4:Bake the Halloween themed cake
You can cover the pumpkin with tin foil. After that, pour the liquid (made in step 2 ) into the pumpkin covered with tin foil. Now, put it into the oven for about 40 minutes.
Step 5:Carve the pumpkin
After baked, carve the eyes, nose, and mouth on the pumpkin with the knife.
Now, a pumpkin cake was finished. You can put them in a while or add some ice cream to eat it.
What a delicious pumpkin cake~
Tips: Another 3 pumpkins were made in the same way. In order to share this tutorial clearly, I only take one pumpkin cake as an example.

Happy Halloween
by Nancy Penir
Happy Halloween Poppy Peeps! Nancy here, and I'm bringing Halloween greetings to you on the last day of October.
That's right, it's holiday rush beginning tomorrow. So for today, what's better than one Halloween pumpkin? 3 Halloween pumpkins!
I began by giving 2 A2 sized watercolor cardstock a wash with purple and lime green. Nothing fancy here. Just wet the cardstock and apply color. If you want to speed drying time up a bit, use your heat gun.
When dry, I marked the half way point of my cardstock, and cut my pumpkin window once. I knew I was going to have a trio of pumpkin windows on my card front. Measuring first saves a lot of grief!
I die cut the image again in the top left corner, and a third time on the bottom right corner. Then watercolored the pumpkin orange. Watercoloring takes a bit of time, applying paint, letting it dry, and going over those spots you want darker.
I covered my pumpkins before adding the splatters of paint to the card, then when dry, foam taped the top card for dimension.
Here's a closeup of how I watercolored one of the pumpkins
Notice how I followed the stitching lines of the pumpkin, and applied my color darker on the lines and on the bottom.
I glossy A-ed the center pumpkin and added a stem (product listed below).
Too late to give this card away, but it'll keep till next year!
Have a Happy safe Halloween!

Project Description
The interview with Greg was part of a ABC Open project – Portrait of a Stranger. This was a photography project but l introduced audio recordings on the iPhone and put together a slide show.
This was captured at the weekly farmers market where Greg was a seller and l was a regular customer. From this time, we would always have a chat and doing this project was also a fantastic way to meet people – especially as l was fairly new to the area.

Q) Hey Akash. How to check body fat percentage? Which method(s) do you find the most reliable?
A). Hey Sahil. Thanks for your question.
Here's how I tracked my body fat from being at 27 percent body fat with 38 inches waist down to 31 inches at 12%- Pic -1
Note: The after picture is just for illustration, however, I don't have a clear after picture, so I used this one.
My after the picture was clicked 6 months after when I was on a vacation-Pic-2.
So the first question that will come to your mind is how did I estimate my body fat to be 26 percent body fat in the first place?
Through 2 methods.
Bioelectrical impedance machine that I had in my gym and by pooling the data of thousands of members who walked in my health club.
I remember crossing checking with body fat calipers once as well.
This may still not be accurate, and honestly, I don't care.
I just did this:
I arrived at a number….26 percent body fat (let's assume that I am wrong here)
But what really matters is that you are progressing this very number same time and under the same condition……
For example, every time I measured my results, I did it first thing in the morning after drinking a glass of water and getting fresh.
I also measured my waist (from navel).
What I should have also done was to click regular pictures of me. (Probably I was embarrassed by the fact that I was Skinny-Fat and didn't want to have a collection of photos back then…I am glad I clicked few pictures, as they proving to very quite useful in explaining my transformation to you)
If you are an ectomorph you will realize these numbers will certainly ring true to you.
If you are an endomorph/mesomorph chances are that you will be wide wasted and your numbers would slightly be off the charts.

Your writing shines! There is no room for gibberish here clearly you have explained about Differences between a pointer and reference. Keep writing!

I'd really like to know what type of  arguments  does this function take, and what happens in the for loop.

void f(unsigned a[],unsigned b[],unsigned n,unsigned *c,unsigned(*t)(unsigned))
{
for(int i = 0; i<n;i++)
b = (*t)(a);
}

I realize that first 2 are arrays, the next one is an unsigned number, what about the last two?

It was cool to see your article pop up in my google search for the process yesterday. Great Guide.
Keep up the good work!

Acne and spots
Healthy, Glowing Skin
By Womens Health Only You've heard it before – your skin is the largest organ of your body. It protects everything inside of you. In turn, it needs a little protection itself. Whatever your skin type or genetic makeup, you can take steps to keep your skin healthy. A little care goes a long way.
Stay Hydrated
Water flushes toxins from your body, including your skin. It also keeps your individual skin cells aqueous so they function better, giving your skin an overall healthier appearance. Drinking eight glasses of pure, clean water a day helps your skin stay vibrant. Remember to drink water before you feel thirsty. Once you've noticed thirst, you're already slightly dehydrated, and your skin will show it. Over time, your skin may lose some of its elasticity and luster if you're not drinking enough water.
Eat Right
Doctors have discovered that you must get an adequate intake of certain nutrients for your skin to be healthy. They include:
Vitamin A:
Vital for the growth and maintenance of healthy skin. Good sources of vitamin A include many of the orange-colored fruits, such as apricots, mangoes, and nectarines. Other sources include carrots, winter squash, sweet potatoes, milk, and fortified breakfast cereals.
Vitamin C:
Needed for the development of the protein collagen, an important component of skin. An inadequate production of collagen can lead to excessive wrinkles and stretch marks. Good sources of vitamin C include citrus fruits, such as oranges, tangerines, and grapefruit, as well as strawberries, kiwis, guava juice, bell and chile peppers, tomatoes, and broccoli
Vitamin E:
An antioxidant, this vitamin protects skin cells against damage. You'll find vitamin E in avocados, whole grains, seeds, nuts, and vegetable oils (such as safflower, sunflower, and corn).
Also known as vitamin B3, niacin is another nutrient your skin needs to stay healthy. Niacin deficiency can lead to dermatitis. Good food sources include lean meats, salmon, tuna, peanuts, leafy green vegetables, and fortified cereals.
This important mineral helps to heal skin and prevent scarring. Not enough zinc can result in acne and eczema. You'll find zinc in seafood, beef, beans, nuts, peanut butter, and milk products.
The mineral iron is necessary, too, since it helps skin tissue get enough oxygen. It also promotes good skin tone. Food sources of iron include red meat, pork, soy products, peas, beans, spinach, dried fruit, and grain products (such as fortified cereals and pastas).
Essential fatty acids:
Both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are necessary nutrients for healthy skin because they help reduce inflammations and promote soft, smooth skin. These healthful fatty acids are found in fish, nuts, plant oils (such as canola), soybeans, and wheat germ.
Although often though of as a teenage blight, acne can affect people of almost any age and is often aggravated by times of hormonal change. Acne is not caused by:
being dirty or not washing
eating too many greasy foods
eating too much chocolate
Acne can be linked to:
hormone production in the body (so it can be worse if you have hormonal problems such as polycystic ovary syndrome)
some types of bacteria often found on the skin
some medicines
These days there are very effective treatments for acne. Most people who are treated see a dramatic improvement in their spots. Treatments include:
benzoyl peroxide creams (these dry the face and help treat the skin bacteria)
antibiotics, given long-term either as tablets or cream
hormone treatments in women (the contraceptive pill can help regulate hormone levels and damp down a woman's own hormone production)
vitamin A-type treatments

More photos here.
Stunning--just stunning! Your best yet! :clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1:
Couldn't even pick a favorite. It's funny too, I was just thinking about you all that are there when I was driving home a little while ago and saw the full moon....
New one on my desktop. THANKS!
Great pix.
I thought that the young woman taking pictures of the wedding couple (the subjects of one of your pix) was doing a great job and staying away from the dunes. At the same time, there were two professional photogs climbing over the New Grayton dunes with their hoards of whte shirts.
It seems that the real enemies of the dunes are the professional photographers, not the white shirts that the pros lead to, through and over the dunes.
Are you in SoWal this week?
SJ you have out done yourself again. Awesome pix especially the one of the sun going down over the waterline!!!!! :clap_1: :clap_1:
Thanks for sharing.
Actually, your most STUNNING work to date is of the happy couple kissing on the beach....scan over to the right...sitting there watching is sueshore w/ Molly nosing around with her behind in the air! OH, SJ...so close, but no cigar!!

Meet Marilyn Levinson
Marilyn Levinson is a former Spanish teacher who writes mysteries for adults and novels for kids and young adults.
Her Twin Lakes mystery series includes A MURDERER AMONG US and MURDER IN THE AIR.
MURDER A LA CHRISTIE and MURDER THE TEY WAY are the first two books in her Golden Age of Mystery Book Club Mystery series.
Some of her books for young readers include AND DON'T BRING JEREMY, which was a nominee for six state awards, NO BOYS ALLOWED, and RUFUS AND MAGIC RUN AMOK, an International Reading Association-Children's Book Council "Children's Choice."
She likes traveling, foreign films, reading, knitting, Sudoku, dining out, and talking to her granddaughter Olivia on Face Time. She lives on Long Island.
Her latest book, THE DEVIL'S PAWN, was released on September 28.
I met Marilyn last spring when we both attended Domestic Malice. We shared a lovely dinner and had some great conversation. I knew immediately that I wanted her to write something for Birth of a Novel. Happily, she agreed. Here's what she has to say about writing for kids:
Why I Write About Magic and Horror in my Kids' Books
We Earthlings love stories. Stories explain great events. They draw on our emotions. As far back as we can remember, our stories are filled with other-than-human characters, both good and bad. In Beowulf, possibly the oldest Old English epic poem, the hero defeats a monster named Grendel and later on a dragon. Our folklore abounds with elves and fairies, dragons and trolls, zombies and werewolves—creatures we've never seen with our eyes except on the screen. Yet they're as real to our inner lives as the flesh-and-blood neighbors who live on our streets.
Kids love to read about monsters. They also love to read about humans with magical or super powers. Superman, Wonder Woman and Spider Man are just a few of the well-loved icons of our society. These characters have special powers that enable them in their fight to defend the weak and downtrodden against the evil In the world. Each of our superheroes has an Achilles heel that make them vulnerable to their enemies. A struggle is expected, but good will always triumph, leaving kids hopeful that they too will triumph over bullies and the problems in their lives.
Rufus Breckenridge, the protagonist in my young YA Rufus and Magic Run Amok, an International Reading Association-Children's Book Council "Children's Choice", is an ordinary boy until he discovers he has magical powers like his mother, grandmother, and aunt. Rufus is ambivalent about his newfound powers. Having them means he'll have to take lessons to keep them under control. Even worse, he's supposed to use his powers to help others and perform good deeds. Not exactly what a ten-year-old kid wants to do.
Rufus discovers that having magic is fun! Magic is power! He likes upsetting Big Douggie, his nemesis, who used to chase him home from school every day. He enjoys moving objects around. But as his power grows stronger, the objects move too fast and too far, wreaking damage and landing him in trouble. When magic runs amok, Rufus wishes he knew how to control it so it doesn't control him.
In Rufus and the Witch's Slave, Rufus and his friends discover that an evil witch is draining the magical powers of a young girl named Violette, and using them for her own illegal purposes. Rufus must convince Violette to stand up for herself and not go along with the old witch's plans. That having magical powers is not something shameful, as she'd been taught, but a means of doing good in the world.
In The Devil's Pawn, Simon Porte must develop his special powers in order to save his own life and stop the slaughter of innocent young girls. Evil lurks in the heart of his uncle, Raymond Davenport, the most powerful man in Buckley, NY. Like all Davenports Raymond has magical powers, but they cannot prevent him from dying. Draining the life force of nine-year-old girls only helps him temporarily, and so he tracks down his brother's family and brings Simon, his fifteen-year-old nephew, to live with him. Raymond hypnotizes Simon repeatedly, each time implanting his memories, values, and abilities into his nephew's mind. When all is ready, he will live on in Simon's healthy body.
Locked into a situation that's threatens his very existence, Simon must develop his powers to defeat his uncle. Knowing nothing about his father's family, Simon relies on his instincts and smarts to do what he can to avoid becoming his uncle's pawn. Help comes along in the form of his dotty great-aunt Lucinda, who teaches him how to develop his extraordinary abilities and block his uncle's assault on his mind. With Lucinda, an odd pair of twins and his younger sister Lucy, Simon takes down Raymond and his cronies.
Children love reading about young heroes who, despite great odds, defeat evil uncles and bullies. Even if they can't retaliate against a bully in real life, reading about a character that can empowers young readers and shows them it can be done. Rufus doesn't use magic to defeat Big Douggie, but his own personal strengths, strengths he doesn't realize he has at the start of the novel.
Simon's adversary is older and more experienced than he. What's more, Uncle Raymond is a respected member of the community with henchmen committing crimes on his behalf. The odds are daunting, which makes the story more exciting for young readers. Young people like to read about protagonists forced to fight huge battles, usually more dangerous battles than they encounter in their own lives. They cheer the hero on at the same time they identify with him. The elements of magic and horror drive up the stakes and make for a more exciting adventure. At the same time, readers have nothing to worry about. Deep down, doesn't everyone know that magic and horror are only make believe and that good will triumph in the end?
In both The Witch's Slave and The Devil's Pawn, children are victimized by adults. A scary topic, but one familiar to children. They're familiar with the bullying older brother, the sarcastic teacher, the too-strict parent. We try to shield our children from the evil in the world but they encounter it every day—in school, on the school bus, even at home. Reading about the trials and tribulations fiction characters must endure helps kids realize that they are not the only ones with problems. The magical and horror elements are far enough removed from real life to help them understand: "This is a story. It's not real. At least I don't have to deal with a wicked witch or an evil uncle like Raymond."
Wise words, Marilyn. Kids need all the help they can get learning to deal with the problems in their lives. Fiction is the perfect way to do this. Thanks for sharing your insights with us.

Great post, Marilyn. This is very helpful as I outline my new "magic/mystery" book.
I think this also explains why mysteries are so popular with adults–we like to see good overcome evil, problems solved, bullies vanquished! 🙂

Excellent article!

I've read your mysteries and enjoyed them very much. Your YA books sounds equally good. I wish I had some grandchildren to give these books to. They sound terrific.

I look forward to enjoying the YA books with my grandson when he's a little older.

I've read The Devil's Pawn and was impressed with the author's ability to create suspense on every page.

The term 'interior design' may bring you visions of luxury and a price tag that is equally matched! Don't let yourself get caught up in the professional views of interior design. Interior design has something to offer for everyone, including a novice such as yourself. Use the tips in the article below to your advantage and you will see what interior design has to offer for you!
If you want to paint the walls of your house but are unsure of what color to use, painting different color swatches on the walls will help you decide. Make sure the swatches are large enough to be able to compare with one another. Furthermore, make sure you let the paint dry before you decide so you can gauge the correct color of the paint.
Use lamps. Aside from simply looking nice around the house, lamps are a great way to create a relaxing atmosphere around your home. They are better at lending to a desirable ambiance than the harsh light of an overhead fixture. Lamps can also save you quite a bit on your electricity bill.
Keep your interior design project cost-effective by using high quality equivalents you purchase from mass merchants. Top of the line decor can cost an arm and a leg, but you may find cheaper alternatives without the designer name brands. Purchase the designer brand item only in cases where there is no available well made item at a reasonable cost.
Take some time to balance out all of your finances before you invest time into any project. Do not start a project if you don't have enough money for it. This can help lower your anxiety and stress levels when designing your new space.
Make creative use of pillows and rugs. These are inexpensive and can change the attitude of a room very quickly. Play with different textures, colors, and prints to see what suits you best. The best thing about pillows and rugs is that you can move them to another room when you want a different look.
Be sure that every room has excellent lighting. Quality lighting will help you show off your home, and can even help a room feel bigger. If there's a room in your home that has dark corners even with the lights turned on, invest in a stylish new lamp. It'll make the whole room look better.
Remodeling your kitchen can be one of the most extensive (and expensive!) interior-design jobs in your house. Despite the hassle and expense involved, resist the temptation to save money by buying cheap cabinets. There's an enormous difference in quality between premium and cut-rate cabinets. You'll only end up replacing discount cabinetry a few years down the line.
As you can see, there are many ways to approach interior design. You don't have to hire a professional or pay for luxury items to make your home appealing for you and your family. Use some or all of what you have learned in this article today, and you are sure to see a happier home for you!

It is long over due, I know.
On occasions I have used the term "hermeneutics", but so far refrained from explaining what hermeneutics is, and how is it to be understood as a barebones notion. I will do that now.
Some of you may remember the very basic barebones communication diagram (below), that I posted last year. No need to change that, and I will show it here once more. See the word "hermeneutics" on the horizontal cloud in the illustration? Why it is placed there in the same section as phenomenology, and not as a separate vertical cloud similar to semiology, gestalt psychology, et cetera?
The answer to these questions are easy to give: In the barebones universe hermeneutic is not considered as a special region of the communication area, is it considered as a communication fundamental.
Using the esoteric words of philosophy, you could say that hermeneutics here have an existential or even ontological status. Don't let yourself be scared away from this area by these words. Existential means simply: that which fundamentally comes with human existence, and ontology is simply the science of that area. If you are in for an academic career, you are welcome to obscure this to a lesser and even larger extend (irony). You'll find indications of such obscurities when you look these words up on Wikipedia 🙂
The barebones' stand on hermeneutics has been phrased very well by David E. Linge in his in Editor's Introduction to Hans-Georg Gadamer's "Philosophical Hermeneutics", University of California Press, 1976. Here is what he says, and you are welcome to read this as a statement that goes along perfectly with barebones communication.
"The task of philosophical hermeneutics, therefore, is ontological rather then methodological. It seeks to throw light on the fundamental conditions that underlie the phenomenon of understanding in all its modes, scientific and nonscientific alike, and that constitute understanding as an event over which the interpreting subject does not ultimately preside. For philosophical hermeneutics, "the question is not what we do or what we should do, but what happens beyond our willing and doing." Hans-George Gadamer, Philosophical Hermeneutics, University of California Press, 1976, page ix.
To be continued …
Why is hermeneutics important?
Why is hermeneutics important? Why is it even very important? Here as some of the obvious reasons, spelled out:
1) If hermeneutics is fundamental, as we see it on barebones, it attach to every act of communication.
2) If hermeneutics attach to every act of communication, it a good idea to understand a bit of how it works.
3) If you have the idea, that you want to have a bit of control over what and how you are communicating (many people have that idea), you might want to use hermeneutics in an active way.
4) If you have the idea, that you want to understand some of the mechanisms at work at the receivers end of your message, verbal or visual or other, you may want to use hermeneutics in an active way, as well.
5) As advertising is not different from communication, but just a special branch of it, advertising people should take notice as well.
I good way of getting you there is to have a look at a new model of communication, and that will come up on this blog pretty soon. From this post on, there will be more posts on hermeneutics. I am sure that you want to know the basics of the hermeneutic circle, and the hermeneutic spiral.
So you need to stay tuned. Have a good day.

Xiaomi Mi 5 has finally reached India, and they revealed its pricing. It seems Xiaomi has no intention to launch 64GB and 128GB variant in India. So far their official website has listed only 32GB model. Just to remind that only 128GB variant of Mi 5 features 4GB RAM, and 32GB/64GB comes with 3GB RAM. 32GB Variant of Mi 5 also comes with downgraded Processor Speed. All three variant of Xiaomi Mi 5 features Snapdragon 820 CPU, but there is different in the clock speed.

No. 1 Trojans finish up late-season road trip
Amidst its 41-match win streak, the USC men's tennis team will continue Pac-12 play this weekend with its final two road matches of the regular season.
The No. 1 Trojans (21-0, 2-0) will first take on Utah (11-7, 0-2) Friday at 1:30 p.m. before paying a visit to Arizona (5-12, 0-2) Saturday at noon in USC's third and fourth consecutive road matches, respectively.
After kicking off conference play with two sweeps at Washington and Oregon last weekend, the undefeated Trojans continued their longstanding streak dating back to last February.
USC senior Steve Johnson, ranked No. 2 in the nation, has amassed 53 consecutive single wins since last January, while the more recent streaks of No. 13 senior Daniel Nguyen and freshman Roberto Quiroz stand at 12 and 10, respectively.
No. 23 sophomore Ray Sarmiento, who was named the Pac-12 Player of the Week for the second time this season, is 29-8 overall in singles.
The Trojans have two more ranked players in No. 38 freshman Yannick Hanfmann and No. 53 Emilio Gomez, who have a combined 31-5 record in dual match singles.
USC also features two ranked doubles pairs. No. 15 Johnson and Quiroz have seven straight doubles victories together, while No. 18 Nguyen and Sarmiento have five consecutive wins together.
Neither the Utes nor the Wildcats have any players nationally ranked in singles or doubles, and both squads have yet to win a conference match.
USC coach Peter Smith, who collected his 200th win in the 7-0 victory over Oregon on Saturday, says that a couple of seventh men, like freshmen Eric Johnson and Jordi Vives, could see some court action in the next two matches.
"I'm always looking to get the whole team involved," Smith said. "It's all about keeping this fresh for everyone and keeping everyone feeling a part of it and challenged."
The Trojans have not relinquished more than two points in a match since Feb. 20, when they defeated No. 3 Ohio State 4-3 in the finals of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association National Team Indoor Championships.
Against the unranked Utes and Wildcats, the Trojans look to continue their sweeping victories before concluding Pac-12 play against No. 12 California, No. 11 Stanford and No. 5 UCLA.
"You always want to win top to bottom and win in a big fashion and win quick," Johnson said. "It's definitely going to be motivation for the guys, and we'll all hopefully improve on what we did [last] weekend."
With only five regular season matches left before postseason play begins, the Trojans have a simple agenda.
"Just get better every day," Johnson said. "That's what the guys have done so far and that's what we plan on doing now. Just get better every single day and work harder, and get ready for Athens."
Athens, Ga., will be the site of the NCAA championships, where USC hopes to capture its fourth consecutive NCAA title in May.
Before embarking on the postseason, the Trojans look to conclude conference play on a strong note as they continue to build their momentum for a historic championship run.

Scitovsky's Satisfaction Maximisation Theory!
Scitovsky favours maximisation of satisfaction in preference to the profit maximisation objective of the firm. He is concerned with managerial effort and the distaste that managers have for work. According to him, an entrepreneur would maximise profits only if his choice between more income and more leisure is independent of his income.
In other words, the supply of entrepreneurship should have zero income elasticity. But an entrepreneur does not aim at profit maximiation. He wants to maximise satisfaction and keep his efforts and output below the level of maximum profits. This is because as his income (profit) increases, he prefers leisure to effort (output).
Scitovsky's maximisation of satisfaction hypothesis is illustrated in Fig. 8, where NP is the net profit (income) curve, the difference between the TR and TC curves, which have not been drawn to simplify the analysis. Thus profits are measured on the vertical axis. Assuming managerial effort and output to be proportional, output is measured along the horizontal axis from P toward O so that at point P output is zero. Since more efforts mean less leisure.
And vice versa, leisure is also measured on the horizontal axis from O toward P. The curves, and are the entrepreneur's indifference curves which represent his levels of satisfaction yielding combinations of his money income (profits) and leisure. The entrepreneur's satisfaction would be the greatest at the level of output where the net profit curve is tangential to an indifference curve.
In the figure, M1 is his point of maximum satisfaction where the net profit curve NP is tangent to his indifference curve I2. He will be producing PQ1 output. This level of output is less than the profit-maximisation output PQ. The entrepreneurial profits, at PQ1 output level are also less than the maximum profits QM1 at PQ1 level of output. At level of profit, the entrepreneur maximises his satisfaction because he enjoys OQ1 leisure which is QQ1 more than he would have enjoyed under profit maximisation, OQ.
Scitovsky has himself pointed out two weaknesses in his satisfaction maximisation hypothesis.
1. It is unrealistic to assume that entrepreneur's willingness to work is independent of his income. After all, the ambition of an entrepreneur to make money cannot be dampened by a rising income. "Businessmen regard the income they earn as an index of their success and efficiency; and their ambition of excelling in their profession manifests itself in the desire to make more money."
2. To say that an entrepreneur maximises his satisfaction is a 'perfectly general statement, it says nothing about his psychology or behaviour. Therefore, it is only a truism and is devoid of any empirical content.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. –The Florida State women's tennis team (5-2) continues their home stand this weekend as they host the Air Force Academy (12 p.m.) and Georgia Southern (5 p.m.) on Saturday. These matches will be a part of the tennis team's fourth annual Scott Speicher military appreciation weekend.
As a part of the military appreciation weekend the unveiling of the new Scott Speicher memorial in front of the tennis center will be unveiled Friday, February 16th at 2:00 p.m.
President John Thrasher, women's tennis head coach Jennifer Hyde, Student Veterans Center Director Billy Francis and Scott's squadron mate Buddy Harris will preside over a brief welcoming ceremony. The FSU Air Force ROTC color guard will present the colors and Seminole Sound will play the national anthem.
The event will be attended by members of the family of FSU alumnus and U.S. Navy Capt. Scott Speicher, for whom the university's tennis center is named. Speicher, who earned a bachelor's degree in accounting and business management from Florida State in 1980, became the first American casualty of the Persian Gulf War when his F/A-18 Hornet fighter was shot down Jan. 17, 1991.
The Seminoles are a combined 11-0 against their competition this weekend including a 9-0 record against Georgia Southern and a 2-0 record against the Air Force Falcons. Florida State last took on Georgia Southern in 2006 when the Garnet and Gold defeated the Eagles 7-0 in coach Hyde's second season at FSU. Florida State took on Air Force last season for the third annual military appreciation weekend. The Seminoles took down the Falcons 5-2 in Tallahassee.
Fans and guests are encouraged to arrive early for Saturday's 12:00 pm match against the Air Force Academy.
As a token of appreciation for their service, commemorative challenge coins will be presented to Air Force players by the women's tennis team. The awarding of challenge coins is part of a military tradition that dates back to World War I.
