Today I'm reviewing Creatures and I'm including this as my first review as part of Wyrd and Wonder's Spooktastic event. Follow the #Spooktasticreads hashtag to pick up other reviews and the like.
I'm not shy about telling all and sundry prepared to listen (or too polite to make a hasty departure) that short fiction is not usually my thing. I don't know why, other than usually I find that I'm just becoming involved and the conclusion happens. However, I have also found recently that when a book, short or otherwise, adds to an already developed story, or continues using the original story for inspiration then I enjoy it much more. Monstrous Little Voices was the first such book that led me down this path of enjoyment (a book that uses Shakespeare for inspiration and where all the short stories are interconnected in some way). The same can be said for Creatures.
Before I even start this review my immediate thoughts were that I loved the idea behind Frankenstein and his legacy. This collection of five tales is the perfect way to keep this story thriving in a really original way. I love the classics but I understand that some people like a more modern style of writing – here you find an updated story that brings a classic into the 21st century. The stories make their way throughout history beginning around the 1850s (I think) and progressing into the modern day. All the stories have a different concept and yet all are brought together, not only by the common thread of 'playing God' or discovering immortality but by the inclusion of something familiar in each story. I'll try not to give away too much in case of spoilers but due to the chronology of the stories and also the way they're woven together I would suggest that readers tackle this in a straightforward story (unlike most short story collections where you can pick any story at will). To be clear, I'm not saying you can't pick and choose at will but I think the stories will be better enjoyed read in the order they've been published.
So, we have five tales and undoubtedly readers will like some more than others. What I really like is that these stories take the work created by Shelley and through the collection bring it uptodate whilst shining a light on some modern nuances that I didn't expect.
Kaseem's Way is the start of the collection and harks back to a time in London when grave robbing was not uncommon. Cadavers were needed for research purposes as demand outweighed supply sometimes gruesome deeds were committed in the name of science. This is a perfect start to the story with it's dark feel and fog enshrined streets. We read of Kaseem and his fascination with anatomy. He undertakes 'research' in secret within the close confines of Newgate Prison. His benefactor is a doctor at Guy's Hospital who seeks to make a name for himself and seems to have an interest in the reanimation of the dead. Meanwhile we meet a character known as Adam. Adam is full of hate, he's also full of loneliness and is desperately sad. On top of that, and quite unfairly, he seems to be slowly dying. I really enjoyed this story, it contains nods to the original work (although I'm sure I probably missed more than I picked up upon) and it is definitely something of a tragedy.
The New Woman takes us forward in time to 1899 – Christmas time and the last days of the year before a new year and indeed a new era is about to begin. A group of friends are enjoying Christmas dinner, bohemians one and all, artists, actresses, scientists and like minded. Their discussion gives rise to the birth of an idea in the minds of one of the guests. Fran and her partner Christine come up with a way to combine art and science. Their creation is Eve. This was a period that was strangely beguiled by the curious and the odd. Collections of wonders and the like were sought after and Fran and Christine's 'creation' is highly desired to turn what was going to be a wondrous New Year party into, quite possibly, THE event of the year. This is a tale that starts off as the coming together of two minds to create something beautiful. Unfortunately, neither of them really expected their idea to come to fruition and didn't have the first clue what to do when they succeeded. Ultimately, their creation created a rift where a jealous wedge found a perfect home. A story that takes a careful look at 'rights'. Does the 'creature' have rights – should it/she be treated as human or is she simply a 'thing'.
Reculver. The third tale is a curious one and takes a slightly different tack. Set during the Second World War this story is told by a now elderly gentleman as he recounts a period during his youth in which he met two strangers. One, was Barnes Wallis – who was responsible for inventing the Bouncing Bombs – later known as the Dam Busters. The other stranger was the one that graces the pages of each of these stories. This is a tale of violence – and surprisingly during a time of war does not focus on the battlefield. This is about domestic violence and looking at the monsters who live amongst us. I was puzzled about the inclusion of Barnes Wallis (although I admit it's a nice touch) but then I figured he's the scientist of the story. As with the other tales there is a recurring theme of sadness and loss I'm still not quite sure what to make of the ending and think I might need to read it again.
Made Monstrous brings us into the 80s where a slightly jaded detective and his young rookie investigate the stealing of limbs. This story really gripped me. I'm not going to give too much away – it's not a murder mystery because the bodies that are stolen from are already dead, but nonetheless it is a mystery. At first the jaded detective takes almost a half hearted stance into the mystery of it all until the young policewoman starts to uncover certain similarities that eventually lead the two on a strange mission. I found this story really gripping. I wasn't expecting a police procedural to be included amongst these stories and yet it fits really well. Again, there are monsters of differing guises included in the story just giving more fuel to the 'who was really the monster' discussion.
Love Thee Better. The final story is all about obsession. I'm not quite sure when this is set – present day or a near future but it's all about the way people obsess about their body. Poor self deception and thinking that the cut of a knife will make things better. Set aboard a strange cruise ship that never seems to call in at port this is a heady mix of people enjoying themselves quite wildly and with absolute abandon and then almost becoming saturated with it all. It's a story of people wanting to lose parts of themselves and others wanting to have those parts. It's a very unusual and even a little bit disturbing story of people swapping body parts almost as casually as they would change their hair style – but, there's more underlying this story. Dr Firth seems to have a project of his own and it's quite horrifying.
I really enjoyed this collection. I would give two provisos. I don't think this is supposed to be scary so if you go into it with such expectations then you might be setting yourself up for disappointment – it is however horror, maybe not blood soaked and visceral but horror nonetheless. That being said I don't think Frankenstein is a scary story. I think both are meant to be thought provoking and that brings me to my second suggestion – read these stories with care. If you race through these you will miss the cleverness that is taking place here.
Overall, I still don't like short stories – but, when they're brought together like this, a set of stories that told together make a whole – well, really, it's a wonderful creation.
I received a copy courtesy of the publishers through Netgalley, for which my thanks. The above is my own opinion.
Can't Wait Wednesday : Creatures: The Legacy of Frankenstein by Emma Newman, Tade Thompson, Paul Meloy, Kaaron Warren , Rose Biggin, David Thomas Moore (Editor)

"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly meme that was originally created by Breaking the Spine. Unfortunately Breaking the Spine are no longer hosting so I'm now linking my posts up to Wishful Endings Can't Wait Wednesday. Don't forget to stop over, link up and check out what books everyone else is waiting for. If you want to take part, basically, every Wednesday, we highlight a book that we're really looking forward to. This week my book is : Creatures: The Legacy of Frankenstein. I admit I'm not usually one to pick up anthologies but, firstly, Frankenstein – need I say more? Secondly a bunch of great writers writing about monsters in the same vein as Shelley's classic – take my money. Thirdly, I loved Monstrous Little Voices and I'm half wondering if this will win me over in the same way. So, read the synopsis and weep because this sounds amazing:
A new anthology bringing together five great new and established writers to explore the world of Mary Shelley's all-time classic, Frankenstein
"My spirit will sleep in peace; or if it thinks, it will not surely think thus. Farewell."
Victor Frankenstein was the first to unlock the key to life, but he would not be the last. Through two centuries of scientific enquiry and relentless advancement, five more minds found the secret, and five more creatures were made. Five more stories ended in tragedy.
From the 1840s to the modern day, from the race to publish the first anatomy to the desperate search for weapons to win the Second World War, telling the stories of the creatures that never were.
Due for Publication: October 2018

Why You Should Get Red Hat Linux CertificationApril 26th, 2013 Leave a comment
The obvious reason is to quickly give yourself verifiable credentials with Red Hat Linux for your employer or potential employers to consider when evaluating you for a new position. For most, this is reason enough to go through the certification process. Like other certification programs for development, systems administration, and other IT fields, certification in Red Hat is used as proof of your working knowledge of the platform. Unlike many other certifications, however, receiving a recognized cert in Red Hat also says that you have passed hands-on requirements. Two thirds of the testing requirement for Red… View full post »
The Open-source Development Culture and Why Linux Doesn't Work Like the OthersApril 23rd, 2013 Leave a comment
To developers moving from a relatively closed system, such as Windows or OSX environment, to the open Linux architecture, the learning curve involves far more than adding a new language or architecture to your repertoire. It usually means fundamentally changing how things are done from an engineering perspective. Coding in a restricted or closed environment, where access to the source code for related apps and the core platform itself is limited, often means making guesses as to how things will interact and spending a lot of time (and lines of code) working around those interactions or restrictions. … View full post »

This post is a digression from our customary technology topics, but I just finished reading a very exciting new book, Ultimate Guide to Link Building by Eric Ward and Garrett French, and I thought my readers would benefit from my review of this highly anticipated paperback. If you own a website of any kind, regardless of its age, size and purpose, it's almost a given that it would require some amount of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Link Building. The latter remains as the single most definitive external factor underscoring a website's search popularity. I've been a subscriber to Eric's LinkMoses Private… View full post »
Keeping the Big Picture in DevelopmentApril 15th, 2013 Leave a comment
Many developers in the open source, Linux and Android sectors are familiar with the term "Largeness of Mind". It's a term sometimes used in open source circles to remind developers to keep the big picture in mind while working on their apps and plug-ins. In development, it's easy to become tunnel visioned and focus too heavily on the task at hand (or the problem being troubleshooted) and lose sight of the overall build. In open source projects, this is especially problematic as keeping the big picture in view can mean saving yourself from wasted time or sloppy… View full post »
6 Open Source Big Data Technologies to Keep Tabs OnApril 12th, 2013 Leave a comment
It's safe to say that 'big data' is the big buzzword de jour, and that is unlikely to change. Many of the major players in the tech industry are leveraging big data to spectacular and varied effect, and though it may be used a little too much as a buzzword, it is one of the most important developments in the tech industry. What's more, the cotemporaneous rise of open source software means that many of the most exciting big data technologies are open source, with strong communities developing around many big data tools.

Working with Offshore Teams: Keys to SuccessApril 8th, 2013 Leave a comment
It's difficult to start a piece like this without producing the same old clichés about how we now live in a globalized world, where collaborative work can take place across huge distances, etc. Yet there it is – the reality is that for some industries in particular, it has never been easier to outsource work to offshore teams that are technically proficient and competitive in cost. It's tempting to offload the work to people who are just as educated and proficient but do it for half the cost. However, with new working practices come new problems, and it's important to… View full post »
Why Android Training Is Still Key To A Big Bucks JobApril 5th, 2013 Leave a comment
"What is the most profitable training route for a programmer to take?" It's a question that's often asked of teachers and recruiters everywhere. New programmers (and often experienced ones looking to learn something new) are sometimes paralyzed by choice, and they're looking for someone with experience in the field they're branching into that can tell them what skill set will make them attractive to potential employers- or nudge existing employers to give them a raise or promotion. Naturally, you'll often hear all sorts of suggestions put forward- everything from embedded programming to legacy compatibility and web development will be offered up… View full post »
Top 10 Most Common Android Interview QuestionsApril 1st, 2013 Leave a comment
Looking for a job as an Android developer? You'll likely be grilled in the interview to make sure you know what you're talking about.

Best Slow Motion Cameras
Want to turn everyday video production into a more cinematic experience? A slow motion camera can help. There are many opportunities for slow-motion shots to take center stage: showing off athlete's moves, getting a closer look at technical how-tos, and much more. Sometimes you just need to slow down a moment in your video for better clarity. If you want to learn more about how to create a slow motion effect in a video editor, head to the guide below:
Slow motion cameras work by playing back frames captured at high speed at lower frequencies (called frames per second, or fps). Some videographers prefer to have a camera with slow motion features built-in or otherwise readily available. If that's you, you're in the right place. We've put together our list of the best slow motion cameras on the market for you to review. Note that these are in no particular order, and each has its own benefits. Which one will you try?

Well it took us a while, but we've finally launched. For the most part we actually finished these apps about 2 months ago. But we've spent the last 8-9 weeks messing around with merchant accounts and payment gateways. A lesson for all startups out there, sort your merchant account EARLY.
So we're up and running now, and everything seems to be running ok. A fairly major part of the installation was migrating users, their karma and their credit across to the new system from Fivesecondtest.com. Basically we have an entirely new system, with an entirely new way of managing credit, and so it took a little shoe-horning to get that in to place.
For those who aren't aware, all existing Karma has been migrated across to the new system. On the new site 1 Karma point is worth 1 result. You won't be able to make tests without karma, so
On the old site, when you spent $5 you got an additional 15 results. We've doubled that. Every token (or $5 credit) has been converted to 30 results on the new site. This has been given out in the form of Karma.
Unfortunately, all the Beta data for Navflow was deleted. This includes logins. About a third of our Navflow users are actually 5st users, which meant a whole heap of account duplications if we migrated everyone across. The remaining users signed up and didn't create any tests. So it made sense to just migrate 5st users across. I'm sorry to those who were having fun with Navflow, but unfortunately we had no choice.
New Features
The first MAJOR change in the new system is to Fivesecondtest.com. The click test is gone. Navflow is now the place to do click tests. We found that clicks were not an accurate way to gauge first impressions. Without context, and with a time limit, the click test was a little shaky. We think that navflow gives test authors far more flexibility to find out what they need to know without putting undue cognitive load on the end user.
Through a lot of feedback, and a lot of study, we've also changed the fivesecondtest memory to be a much more traditional and more flexible test. Rather than having unfocussed "what do you think?" type testing, we've now included the ability to ask up to 5 questions about the test image. The user is shown the image, and then you can test their recall about the image. The result is a significantly more targeted and quantifiable result. In time we will add additional tools to assist in benchmarking and iteration.
Navflow and Fivesecondtest are the first two apps in our suite of tools called Usability Hub. When you sign up to one or the other, you're actually signing up to UsabilityHub. One subscription fee will give you access to all of our apps now and in the future. Your subscription entitles you to a certain number of results per month, usable across any of the applications for as many tests as you want. Subscriptions start off from as low as $19 a month, and can be upgraded or cancelled at any time. No lock in.
As always, our apps are available for free to anyone who wants to help give feedback on other users' tests. Earn karma to create tests. One major change however, is that we no longer offer anonymous test creation. If you want to create tests, you'll need to sign up, participate in tests and earn the right to create your own tests. To make up for this, we give all new users 20 Karma to get started.
Well that's about it for now. I need a rest!
If you have any queries, shoot us an email at [email protected]
Thanks for all support till now, and welcome to UsabilityHub!

Jamie Fox is ready to go to work in District 19 Borden-Kinkora.
On Tuesday night, his party, the Progressive Conservatives, was elected to lead P.E.I.
Fox held his seat easily in his home district. The former Borden police chief built and ran the "Esso by the bridge" for many years before entering politics.
Mary Webster volunteered to drive the candidate door-to-door for a day and a half during the campaign.
"It was very quiet. He was hardly in the car; he would run from house to house on foot. When he was in the car, he was on his phone responding to work-related emails," said Webster.
She was with Fox and several dozen other volunteers at O'Shea's pub in Kinkora for what turned into an election night celebration.
While others were raising a glass, Debbie Fox, Jamie's wife, was in the district office busily working on paperwork when Fox went to find her for a photo.
In the 2015 election, Fox turned District 19 from red to blue. The district covers the Island from Kelly's Cross to Borden-Carleton and west to North Bedeque.
Moving from the Opposition to the governing party doesn't change the way Fox will approach his job as MLA.
"It's all about the people," he said. "I think we really need to look at the province as a whole… Every Islander needs to be part of the solution going forward. We need to engage Islanders. That's something I tried to do over the last four years."
Fox wants to continue his work in the department of Justice now that Bill 110 passed, requiring judges to have mandatory sexual assault education.
He's also keen to get back to his projects like reforestation and preparing the infrastructure for climate change.
The wide scope of Fox's work is what earned Webster's vote.
"The days of a one-issue party are over," she said.
Fox is ready to get back to the task at hand, he said.
"I was getting messages up 'til a half an hour ago about road issues. Tomorrow that will not change for me."

Recent events have lead me to ponder on the art of listening. I've either been on the listening end or the sharing end and I've thought so many times who I have felt safe with and who feels safe with me. What are they sharing? Are they letting their guard down and being completely open and vulnerable or are they constantly changing words and thoughts so as not to provoke a judgment out of me. The better you are at listening, the more space you'll create to be heard… so if you want to be heard, learn to listen and create meaningful friendships.
Generally, people probably don't mind advice but sometimes you can end up feeling like you're on the receiving end of a missile attack. Instead of feeling supported, you may find yourself feeling more broken than when you first started. As I found myself feeling more broken, I wondered: what makes a safe place for people to talk and be open?
Most people already know the answers they seek
Most people already know deep down what their true situation is, even if they don't voice it to you – they know. They just want a place to sound off and vent – a place to hear it echo back to their own ears. Having a space to fall apart and process the information is one of the best ways to hear ourselves and our truths.
Here are 3 key elements in creating a safe place for your loved ones to vent to you:
We are often quick to interject with our experiences and this time when and that time how.
First, LISTEN.
If you are fair and honest and take true inventory of your own life, you will find that there were many many times you fell short of what you "should do". Maybe you don't even have to look back too far. There may be many areas in your life where you still lack direction and perfection. Stay grounded. As your thoughts float in and out, let them. They will surface and disappear. Ears open. Mouth shut. Judgment reserved.
I have a friend who asks me questions. It helps me to process. They are not judgemental questions. Yes, there's a difference. She asks me questions to prompt thought – to help me think things through. Why do you think that happens? What makes you think that? How did you feel when…? What do you think could make this better?
When I look back on my life, I find that I always knew the answers deep down. Sometimes I had to talk about something over and over again or to tell the same story to more than one person. Of course this meant hearing many different suggestions, advice and opinions. Deep down, I would always know the answer and even if the answer resonated with someone's advice, it would not sound right to me until I felt it. It had to resonate with my vibration and where I was at that time in my life.
Follow your own intuition
I had a process I had to go through and even if someone said I could have saved myself time if I had only done this or that at the time they said, it didn't matter. It didn't matter because it was my process and I could not be rushed or pushed. If I acted when someone else said I should then it would feel like I was swimming against the current. My intuition had to be in agreement.
I had to do things when I was ready – it was the only way to make a move with grace.
If we learn to be better of a listener and less of a judge, it would make a lot of things easier on us.
Who is a good listener in your life?

Second Amendment Under Attack the Jew World Order
The Art of faking hostile attacks and blaming them on the innocent: Northwoods Project vetoed by JFK. Admiral Lemnitzer was a Jew.
What do you think is going on in Syria, including sinking boatloads of refugees!!!
In Rightful Liberty
"Throw down your guns and come out with your hands up." ~ Dialog from hundreds of Westerns and the current message from government to its citizens.
Why is it I feel like I'm living in the Twilight Zone and expect to hear Rod Serling start explaining events surrounding the latest mass shooting and the immediate response of government and media personnel exalting more gun control as the only answer before the bodies of those slain have assumed room temperature?
The folks doing research for Harvard and Northwestern university's claim the rate of mass shootings has tripled since 2011. Of, course there are the political opportunists, especially those clothed in conservative garb, who claim Obama is responsible for this increase. Ah, but it's not the people; it's the machine.
What a merry-go-round this whole debacle has become. With every new mass shooting the pleas from government and the media (like there is an actual difference in their agendas) for more stringent gun control increases steadily just as gun sales reach new highs. So, the question I am waiting for Mr. Serling to pose is this: are the citizens of this country more afraid of mass shooters or the government which wants to disarm them?
All governments become evil and tyrannical regardless of their benign beginnings. Ours is certainly no exception. Documented history of the 20th Century reveals governments during that period of time murdered over 200 million of their own citizens.
Another important question becomes: would governments plan and carry out crimes against its own citizens to further an agenda of control or to manufacture evidence for going to war? Is there empirical evidence of our government planning or participating in such an event? We must dig no deeper than "Operation Northwoods." According to James Bamford, author of BODY OF SECRETS,
"Code named Operation Northwoods, the plan, which had the written approval of the Chairman and every member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called for innocent people to be shot on American streets; for boats carrying refugees fleeing Cuba to be sunk on the high seas; for a wave of violent terrorism to be launched in Washington, D.C., Miami, and elsewhere. People would be framed for bombings they did not commit; planes would be hijacked. Using phony evidence, all of it would be blamed on Castro, thus giving Lemnitzer and his cabal the excuse, as well as the public and international backing, they needed to launch their war."
Let me repeat here for clarification two phrases from Bamford's report on this government plan of action: "called for innocent people to be shot on American streets" and "a wave of violent terrorism to be launched in Washington, D.C., Miami, and elsewhere." What about people being framed for bombings they did not commit?" Is this not what is happening now and has been happening with increased frequency in our country? What would lead any prudent individual to believe our government has become less tyrannical since this plan was formulated in the bowels of government back in the early 60's?
It is well documented that people naturally want to believe what makes them feel good, regardless of any facts to the contrary. This is especially true of those who have assumed government as their lord and protector. Where is the evidence this government cares more for its citizens than it does those it refers to as its enemies? This government wants to disarm Iran, North Korea and its own citizens, but provides arms and training to ISIS. Hmmm.
This government lied about not knowing the Japanese were coming to bomb Pearl Harbor; lied about the events surrounding the assassinations of JFK, RFK and MLK; it lied about the Gulf of Tonkin attacks; it lied about the OKC bombing; events surrounding the Boston Marathon bombing, WTC building number 7, and anyone who believes the passport of one Mohammed Atta could survive a crash into a WTC building on a plane loaded with fuel and land in pristine fashion atop the rubble of that debacle needs some serious counseling—or stronger meds.
Any trust in our government has to be based on a strong emotional need, for there is absolutely no factual evidence whatsoever on which to base a belief in the words or actions of government. Instead of questioning the motives of those referred to as "conspiracy theorists" should we not be questioning the motives of government and its employees?
Who profits from the horror of a mass shooting when the government begins proposing gun control before the bodies are cold? Who would use the dead and wounded to further an agenda? Where is the simple respect for those who were attacked? Is it to be found in proposing new laws that would leave even more people vulnerable to similar attacks?
Why would government want the people to be disarmed? Why does a member of government fear an armed citizen? Could it be they realize this ponzi scheme of borrowing money to the point the interest on the debt is more than the gross receipts of that government will be discovered by the citizens and they will seek retribution from those who sold them on this criminality? Is there a fear that when all draconian legislation they pass or have passed is discovered for what it really is, the people might actually resist?
"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive." ~ Noah Webster
Mass shootings will continue to increase in volume, magnitude and the number of victims until the government achieves its goal of disarming the American people. Whether you choose to believe or not believe elements of the government are behind these acts of terror and criminality matters nothing; the events will continue regardless and there is nothing I can write that will change your mind if your basis for establishing truth rests on emotionalism rather than the facts of history and simple logic.
The basic fact remains: whether you are attacked by actual terrorists or by personnel participating in a false flag event, if you are unable to defend yourself and your loved ones, the weight of responsibility rests with you, not a government employee who will never arrive in time to save you or your family. There are a multitude of headstones in death orchards that prove my point.
"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, …" ~ Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence.

Carol Tice recently became my writing mentor. My goal is to work closely with her over the next year and become a fulltime freelancer by the spring. (Just in time for the so-called end of the world. Timing is everything, I guess.)
Anyway, Carol spoke to me on the phone for a two-hour initial session and gave me vast amounts of writing and marketing advice. One question she seemingly just tossed off the cuff really resonated with me: "How long since you've updated your web page and networking profiles?"
I checked. I won't embarrass myself by giving exact dates. Let's just say that for more than a few of them, the second Bush was in office and 9/11 was just a nasty gleam in Osama bin Laden's eye. A lot has changed in my writing career since those days. I have all kinds of new clients and credits, and the work that I listed back then is so dated you can't even find it online anymore.
Last week, I made it my project to update all of my old profiles, using the following tips that I gleaned from Carol and from several marketing articles:
1. Use First Person
When I wrote my earliest Internet profiles, writing in the third person ("Debra did this," or "Debra did that") was all the rage. But times have changed, the Internet has become less formal, and what once made me sound like a professional now made me sound like a prig. I changed the person and tone on all my profiles, and it immediately made a huge difference. I sounded human now, like someone a client might actually want to work with.
2. Use Keywords/SEO
If you're looking for gigs as a freelance writer, a ghost writer, a proofreader, a copy editor, or whatever, say so. Be sure to use those words and phrases like them prominently and regularly. Clients can't hire you if they can't find you.
3. List Clients Judiciously
Even if you still write for the mills--and I do sometimes, when cash is low--it's better not to include sites like Demand Media and Suite101 on your Internet resume. Most legitimate editors do not respect these sites, nor do they respect the people who provide them content.
4. Add New Accomplishments, Awards, and Publications
If you had looked at one of my old profiles a few days ago, you'd have thought that my most recent pieces of writing had been published in a small travel journal back in 2002 and on a now-defunct Internet site in 2001. The truth is, I've written hundreds of pieces since then and have a reasonably impressive list of online publications to my name. I went into my profiles and added my most recent writing, so that anyone looking for a writer won't assume that I'm no longer in the business.
I'm still waiting to see if revamping my profiles actually brings me new customers. At the very least, though, it's given me a fresh appearance online and made me and my writing easier to find, and those are always good things.
How often do you update your profiles?

Between securing funding, creating a business plan, balancing your books and overcoming common challenges, building a great franchise business takes a lot of work. But to keep it running — and keep it successful — you'll need to build a great team.
But with so many job seekers out there, how can you determine the right hires for your franchise? The key is to ask the right questions during the interview process.
Asking generic questions, such as "can you tell me about yourself," or "what is your greatest weakness" will get you generic responses.
Instead, you'll want to delve deeper to get a better understanding of each candidate's skills, accomplishments, attitude and behavior. Continue reading "The 8 Best Interview Questions For Small Business Owners"

Overhill Farms Signs Definitive Agreement to Be Acquired by Bellisio Foods
Overhill Farms, Inc. (NYSE MKT: OFI) and Bellisio Foods, Inc. today announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement for Bellisio Foods to acquire Overhill Farms in a merger transaction valued at approximately $80.9 million.
Under the terms of the agreement, Overhill Farms shareholders will receive $5.00 in cash for each share of Overhill Farms common stock they own. The transaction represents a 26% premium over the closing price of Overhill Farms common stock on August 13, 2012, prior to the Company's announcement that it was reviewing strategic alternatives, and a 25% premium over the average of the closing price of the common stock during the 60 calendar days ended May 13, 2013, the last day prior to entering into the merger agreement.
Overhill Farms, Inc. is a value-added supplier of custom high-quality prepared frozen foods for branded retail, private label and foodservice customers.
Bellisio Foods, Inc., based in Minneapolis, is the country's third-largest producer of frozen entrées. For the past two years, Bellisio and Overhill Farms have produced and distributed frozen meals under the Boston Market brand through an exclusive co-manufacturing and distribution agreement.
"After conducting an extensive review of potential strategic alternatives, our Board concluded that this all-cash transaction was the best path to maximizing value for our shareholders," said James Rudis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Overhill Farms.
"Additionally, in the course of our partnership on the Boston Market brand, we have seen that Bellisio is a company very similar to ours in terms of their business philosophy, corporate culture, focus on quality and customer service, and their entrepreneurial spirit," Mr. Rudis said. "We know that our customers will continue to be well served, and that the clear synergies in this transaction will make both companies stronger."
Joel Conner, Bellisio's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We believe that Overhill's brand portfolio and West Coast manufacturing presence enables us to unlock meaningful synergies and better serve existing and new customers through expanded capabilities and a broader offering. We look forward to working with Overhill Farm's employees and customers as we incorporate this business into Bellisio."
The transaction, which is expected to close during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, is subject to approval from Overhill Farms shareholders, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The proposed transaction is not subject to a financing condition.

Asset Mapping Worldrecord in The Netherlands
By: Eric Hendriks
Posted in: Stories
SCHIEDAM - A new Worldrecord Asset Mapping has been set in The Netherlands. Almost 100 people registered 672 talents, skills and things they want to share with their community in just 15 minutes.
Check the video by Philip Booth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XefAKEjwGPk
The record attempt 'Community Asset Mapping' was part of the ABCD Popeldag. This is an annual festival where communitybuilders from all over the Netherlands meet and exchange experiences in a unique local place. This year the ABCD Popeldag took place in the local work place De Buren in Schiedam.
Asset Mapping An "asset" is something that someone can, know or possess and want to actively share with his or her community. Discussing and collecting these assets ('Asset Mapping') serves to make the power of the community visible and to strengthen mutual relationships: together you can do much more than on your own!
The world record attempt was officially registered with Guinness Book of Records and under the leadership of 'Asset Mapper' Eric Hendriks. People who did not know each other yet, asked eachother the question 'what can you do well, what do you know a lot about or what do you own that you want to share with this community? " Each asset was written on a Post-it. After 15 minutes the time stopped and the count started.
Huge harvest: 672 assets!
This resulted in a huge harvest of talents and skills, eg "making a TV program", "Putting young people in motion", "organizing a neighborhood party", but also "cooking", "chairman" and "guiding people in the final phase of life". After several checks, the counter stood at 672 assets, a new world record!
The visibility of what people can offer each other leads to new contacts, relationships and a stronger community.
Next step: online Asset Mapping
The next step is to share these assets online. Have a look at https://wijzijnabcd.nl/m/deelnemers, developed by Munity Services from The Netherlands), so that you can see who has what to offer.
Wow, Eric. I was able to facilitate three Offers and Needs Markets at an event last month that yielded 500 offers and needs within the World Domination Summit community. I was proud of that ... even if it took about three hours and 65 people.
Your achievement and the connections you've made for people in your community through it sure is something else! Maybe I'll try to break your record at World Domination Summit 2019 ...
Founder of Munity Services, a social enterprise with the mission to create connected neighborhoods in The Netherlands. Developed a unique method in which teams of citizens and serviceworkers are trained as Community connectors that unlock all community assets through an online platform for their neighborhood. Now implemented in 40 dutch municipalities with 350 community connectors in 35 teams connecting 370.000 citizens.

Online vs Onsite Education
In the last couple of weeks, I've been learning new things about how businesses perceive online and onsite education. Not that there is anything wrong with online courses, but doing your entire degree online may shun a few employers from hiring you.
1. Some businesses feel that those that are educated only through online courses may not have a strong interpersonal intelligence type or lack people skills that they may require. Not being able to communicate with team members or customers may effect a potential employees' longevity with a business.
2. That one may have taken the easy way out rather then taking the initiative to go to a structured class. Are they capable of handling a difficult task that comes with the job?
3. Some online education facilities may simply not have the proper curriculum thus the student misses out on important knowledge. One would be surprised how they may lack specific knowledge that should have come along with the degree earned.
If you are like me and went to a university that offers both online and onsite education, then you need to related to employers how much of your educational time was spent. Below I have the educational part of my own resume showcasing exactly how I spend my educational time.
Where I have my education listed, I note in parenthesis (red box) the amount of time I spent onsite and the amount of time I spent online. As some courses I wanted to take were not available onsite during the time, I took them online. However, most of the necessary courses I took onsite.
As I've already received my MBA and finishing up my MHRM, courses for both followed the same suit. If you are doing double majors but they are different suites from each other, add the percentage next or below your degree. If you are unsure exactly what your percentage of online vs onsite is, just make a request for an unofficial transcript to be able to determine that.
I would like to ask: Online or onsite, which do you feel worked best for you? Do you prefer online or onsite courses? Does this addition to your resume make things easy or no difference? I'll be looking for your answers (and responding to them) in the comments section.

Studied at the Beijing Film Academy, The Art Students League, and Parson's School of Design.
Helped design the "bird's nest" Olympic stadium for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, and started gaining notoriety for his activism by refusing to participate in the Olympic opening ceremony due to his criticisms of the Chinese government's propaganda around the games.
Repeatedly harassed, detained, and jailed for his activism in China against the Chinese authorities. In 2011, Weiwei was arrested by Chinese authoriteis and held in isolation for 81 days. When he was finally released, he was charged with tax evasion and fined. Weiwei maintains that the accusations were fabricated to silence his political speech. Upon his probationary release, Weiwei has been prohibited from traveling abroad or engaging in public speech, and is subject to government surveillance and censorship.
In 2011, ArtReview magazine named him the most powerful artist in the world.
Has had work appear in major exhibitions in London, New York, Munich, and Tokyo.
Delivering the Message. Weiwei is an activist for freedom of information and expression. He has been especially critical of the authoritarian Chinese government, their control of information, and their use of propaganda. Weiwei utilizes diverse artistic forms to deliver this message, including sculpture, pottery, photography, performance, architecture, documentaries, tweets, and blogs. "My favorite word? It's 'act.'" he says.
Censored. Throughout his career, Weiwei has continually called the Chinese regime to account. Most notably, he created a documentary about the children who died in poorly constructed government schools during the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. On the matter he said, "I have been censored countless times for blogging on Sina Weibo, sharing my opinions and publishing the names and stories of children killed during the Sichuan earthquake. The authorities delete my sentences. When they find that I'm writing too much, they shut off my IP. So I have to use another one and write under another username.

I got my first taste of true homesickness on Tuesday. I've been homesick off and on since I have been here, especially when I talk to my parents about home, but I haven't felt an aching homesickness until Tuesday.
On Tuesday, we left Bahia Magdalena for the first time since we arrived in Puerto San Carlos. After driving over intermittently paved, bumpy roads for three hours, we finally reached the small town of La Purisima. We had been promised the opportunity to visit and swim in an oasis, which is the main source of freshwater for people in the area. While in any other place, this would simply be considered part of a large river (in a beautiful canyon), because there is literally no above-ground fresh water in the state of Baja California Sur, the area around La Purisima is considered to be an oasis. For the first time in months, we saw true green. While we have mangroves growing around the center (and the ulva that I mentioned previously, which covers the sand on our beach), we haven't seen any green trees or flowers in six weeks. While it hadn't really occurred to me until I got there, I have desperately missed seeing living plants. Even more, I have desperately missed seeing a water source outside of the bay and the ocean.
I always used to think that I wanted to live by the ocean, and I think I might still want to do so – however, at this point, I greatly miss the thought of freshwater flowing through a river. Seeing the oasis was like seeing something from home, or from the drive my dad and I take every year through Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.
The town of La Purisima itself is very small, smaller than the town of Puerto San Carlos, but is somehow much more beautiful. Partially because it is smaller, it seems to have much more charm. It had a beautiful church tower, a nice square, and an interesting mural depicting the town's history. We met several people within the town, two of whom were an elderly couple from La Paz who moved to La Purisima in order to try and revitalize the town by opening a hostel and working with local elders to try and maintain the culture and traditions of the town. As a result, a number of traditions have been maintained, although there are few people to pass them onto – the population of La Purisima is only 500, and most of the youth leave in order to find better jobs and a better situation. As we sat in their hostel, one of the people in my group was eating pesto – the combination of that smell with the familiar-looking geology, and the dry-weather smell mixed with the smell of freshwater reminded me so much of home, it made my heart hurt.
After we left the town, we drove a brief ways through more of the canyon to get to our spot. From there, we hiked down into the canyon and along the canal that pumps water into the agricultural areas before we dropped down into the canyon where the "oasis" was. We listened to our professors discuss the ecology of the oasis, and how it has a number of relic species due to its seclusion from a number of climatic changes. A number of people from our group went swimming in the oasis – I would have joined them (the chance to swim in fresh water was unbelievably tempting), but because I had put on sunscreen, I was unable to; the oasis water provides people with their drinking water and as a result, my sunscreen could have contaminated it. I was very content to sit in the shade and observe the canyon, however, and was just glad to have gone to the oasis at all.
The next day was incredibly eventful. We had our second DR day, and we were heading out to observe a sea lion colony again. Our panguero, Chilaco, drove our boat out to Isla Magdalena, at which point a car towed us across the island. We then shoved the boat into the Pacific Ocean and took off. The pangas we own are very small, and while they are suitable for the bay, they are exceedingly outclassed when they are placed in the Pacific Ocean. We spent the first ten minutes being overwhelmed by the fact that we were in a toy boat in the Pacific Ocean and screaming as we went over the big waves – it was unbelievable. We saw an amazing group of common dolphins, and then saw a group of Pacific White-sided dolphins, which we haven't seen within the bay yet. They were playing in the spray of our boat, and jumped all over the water. As much as I love the whales, dolphins still manage to fill be with more glee, simply because they themselves are so joyous.
After boating quite a ways, we reached Cabo San Lacero, the second half of the island, and got out at a small fishing camp to start hiking. After hiking for almost an hour (and having a wonderful conversation with one of my friends and teammates), we reached the sea lion colony. This colony was significantly larger than the last one we saw, but they were also more skittish – we had to be very careful not to startle them into the ocean. We watched them for a while from up high, and then we climbed down to eat lunch and do a count. The day was unbelievably long, but so fulfilling and so wonderful.
Finally, today, we went whale-watching again. We headed out to the Boca of the bay, and while we saw only a few whales, it was the most relaxing experience I've had in quite a while. For the first time, I wore my headphones and it was just like being in my own world. Even though I was surrounded by five other people, it felt like I finally had time to myself. The water was so unbelievably beautiful and smooth, and it was the most comfortable and relaxing boat ride. This afternoon, I finally had time to work, because as we speak, I should be working on a major project that's due on Saturday.
Tomorrow I'm heading off to go turtle monitoring again, before my major presentation on Saturday.

Courtney Love paid tribute to her late husband, Kurt Cobain, with a heart-wrenching tribute on social media this week. In remembrance of what would have been Cobain's 51st birthday, Love shared a throwback pic of her and Cobain cuddling in each other's arms.
According to People, Cobain took his own life in the spring of 1994. The Nirvana frontman was found dead in his home in Seattle after shooting himself with a 20-gauge shotgun. Cobain had long suffered from depression and drug addiction and was only 27 years old at the time of his suicide.
In a suicide note, Cobain pleaded for Love to continue living for the sake of their daughter, Frances, whom Cobain thought would be better off after his death.
Love also has a history of drug abuse, a trait she passed down to her daughter. Last week, Frances opened up about her struggles with drugs and revealed that she has been sober now for 2 years.
While Frances is thankful for being drug-free for a few years, her mother has also struggled with addiction. In 2005, Love was forced to check herself into rehab after she confessed to using while on probation. Love is doing a lot better these days and even talked about how Frances reminds her of Cobain in an interview in 2017.
Love admitted that Cobain and Frances share a likeness. She also revealed that her daughter has Cobain's sick and dry sense of humor and has a unique ability with one-liners just like her father. Unfortunately, it sounds like Frances also inherited some of her father's vices, though it sounds like she's finally turning her life around for good.
Meanwhile, in honor of Cobain, fans were quick to remember one of Nirvana's most popular moments in front of the cameras. Back in 1991, the band was asked to perform their hit single, "Smell Like Teen Spirit," for BBC's Top of The Pops show.
The only hitch was that BBC only wanted Cobain's voice to be live. The rest of the band was asked to fake their parts in the song. In response to the restrictions, Nirvana's bass player, Kris Novoselic, drummer, Dave Grohl, played out of time with the song while Cobain switched up the lyrics.
In the opening line, instead of singing "load up on guns, bring your friends," Cobain sang "load up on drugs, kill your friends." He also lowered his voice one octave and attempted to sing like Morrissey in what has become one of the bands most memorable moments.
Courtney Love stays out of the spotlight these days; she most recently spoke out about the Harvey Weinstein scandal.

Ten tips for settling in a new dog

Ten tips for settling in a new dog
Lorna Cowan
Lorna Cowan
If you're welcoming a new dog into your household read our tips to make sure life with your pet gets off to a good start. Owning a dog is a huge commitment and responsibility. It can also be one of the most rewarding relationships you will ever experience. So start off on the right foot (or paw!) and enjoy.
Get your home ready
Plan ahead and make sure your home and garden are safe and secure for the arrival of your new pet. Decide where the dog is going to sleep – the kitchen or utility room is a good choice - and have a bed waiting, along with a bowl of water, a toy and a blanket or jumper with your scent on it. If you're planning to use an indoor kennel or crate, have this ready too
Set some house rules
Get everyone in the household to agree on rules. Don't give conflicting messages and confuse your new pet. There is no point in one person scolding the dog if it sits on the sofa, and another encouraging it to climb up. Stick to the rules from day one. It's not fair on the dog if you suddenly change them after a few weeks.
Keep calm and relaxed
Although you may be very excited, don't fuss over the dog or raise your voice. Gently stroke your pet so it sees its new surroundings are safe. Some dogs, especially those from rescue shelters, may be nervous or frightened. Don't force it to interact with you, let the dog approach you. It can take a while to build trust and a bond.

Some dogs, especially those from rescue shelters, may be nervous or frightened. Don't force it to interact with you, let the dog approach you. It can take a while to build trust and a bond.
Think about your dog's diet
Find out what your dog has been eating and how often it has meals. A sudden change in diet may make it sick, so follow the same routine for a few days then start introducing your preferred food, a little at a time. If your new pet doesn't seem hungry at first, don't worry, the dog may just be getting used to a new home. You can feed it by hand, but if you repeat this too often your dog may only want to be fed this way.
Don't change your routine
Initially it's tempting to spend every minute of the day with your dog, but get it used to your normal routine as soon as possible. Your new arrival needs to learn when it has fun with you and when to be content on its own. The first night can be tough, but don't rush to comfort the dog if you hear whimpering – you will only reinforce this behaviour. Any dog that's been well exercised will soon fall asleep.
Teach a few commands
Start off with a few basic commands – sit, stay, down - and praise and reward your dog when it does what you ask. Tone of voice is important during training. Saying no and laughing at the same time will only confuse the dog. If you're not happy with its behaviour, turn around and be silent. To find out more about good training techniques, Register with a vet
It's always worth taking your pet along to a local vet for a quick health check and to get advice about inoculations and flea and worm treatments. If you are not planning to breed your dog, you may also want to find out costs for neutering. Your vet can also microchip your pet (see below).
Get your dog microchipped
From 6 April 2016, all dogs in England have to be microchipped by law. Costs are around £20-£30 and the chips are easily inserted using a needle. The Dogs Trust has confirmed that once the new legislation is introduced it will supply vets with the chips free of charge (vets may still charge you for implanting them). A number of charities including Dogs Trust and Blue Cross will carry out the procedure for a donation.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance doesn't just help to pay vet bills if your dog is ill, an insurer may pay out to help you find a lost dog or if it damages someone's property. Some policies will also cover costs if a dog sitter has to look after your pet if you need to go into hospital. Forking out for insurance every month is costly, so do your sums and remember you could pay over £300 to sort out a dog's ear infection.

Our artists really brought out all the stops this year.
So many hit tracks were produced in SA and even greater collabs were made. This year saw some of the biggest and greatest songs ever to come out of SA.
We're serious, guys. Here are some of the collabs that stood out in 2014:
K.O featuring Kid X - Caracara
This songs was played at all kinds of events in 2014. This is no doubt one of the biggest songs in SA this year and it really changed the game. K.O and Kid X went in with the beat and the lyrics and we're still dancing to the song, although it was released months ago. The video even reached over one million hits on You Tube.
DJ Dimplez featuring Dreamteam - Yaya
We've been to many parties this year and we can guarantee you that as soon as this track drops, the crowd runs wild. The Yaya dance created a new trend in SA, with celebs even challenging each other to do the dance on Instagram. Now that's what we call a hit.
AKA featuring Burna Boy, JR and Da Les - All Eyes on Me
SA meets Naija! AKA has no time for games, y'all! The rapper came out guns blazing on this killer track, which is well on its way to becoming a summer anthem. It's an amazing track - even Cassper Nyovest is a fan. Big ups to the boys for this jam!
Cassper Nyovest featuring Talib Kweli - Doc Shebeleza remix
Cassper Nyovest killed the game when he teamed up with American rapper Talib on his hit track Doc Shebeleza. The original song is still a hit and we get the feeling that the remix will be one of Cassper's career highlights for a very long time!
Beyoncé featuring Nicki Minaj - Flawless remix
This remix broke the internet when it came out. Queen B and Nicki really caught their fans by surprise when they drop the track. It's just one of those songs that will probably not be forgotten.
AKA featuring K.O - Run Jozi
This is one of the biggest collabs in SA this year. No doubt! AKA and K.O killed this song! The track is so big that K.O's verse is considered as the best verse for 2014.

Refwatch: Bury v Dale
Monday, 18th Sep 2017 19:18 by TVOS
Cheshire official Mark Heywood will referee Dale's first game in this season's Checkatrade Trophy when we travel to the Energy Check Stadium at Gigg Lane on Tuesday.
We last saw Mr Heywood a year ago when he was in charge of Dale's 2-1 home win over Fleetwood, which was our first league victory of the 2016/17 campaign.
Earlier in 2016 he was in the middle at Spotland for the 2-0 defeat of Sheffield United, a game in which Dale somehow came away with the points despite being outplayed for most of the 90 minutes.
Mark's previous league appointment involving Dale before that was the 3-0 win at Northampton in March 2014 as we continued on our way to promotion.
The only blot on our copybook that night was when Matty Lund received a second yellow card and subsequent red for celebrating with the fans after scoring a fine diving header.
Later that year Mr Heywood refereed a 1-0 home loss to Walsall in the JPT, while in November 2012 he was at Spotland for the dreadful 1-0 defeat by Morecambe in an FA Cup first round replay.
The full list of Dale games refereed by Mark is:
Jul 09 Manchester U (h, F), L 0-2
Oct 11 Wycombe (h), W 2-1
Jul 12 Radcliffe (a, F), L 1-2
Nov 12 Morecambe (h, FAC), L 0-1
Mar 14 Northampton (a), W 3-0
Oct 14 Walsall (h, JPT), L 0-1
Feb 16 Sheffield U (h), W 2-0
Sep 16 Fleetwood (h), W 2-1
So far this season Mr Heywood has refereed five games, showing 16 yellow cards and one red.
One of his appointments was Bury's opening day fixture versus Walsall at the Energy Check Stadium at Gigg Lane.
