There’s a Sky Full of (Paper) Stars in Coldplay’s Target Commercial

May 5, 2014 - Article reads in

Sky was the limit in Coldplay’s new Target commercial for the exclusive album edition of “Ghost Stories” — literally. The ad, which premiered during this weekend’s Saturday Night Live and was directed by famed music video and film director Jonas Akerlund, took celestial inspiration from the band’s single “Sky Full of Stars,” filling the set with hundreds of hanging origami stars.

The commercial set was transformed into a mysterious, forest-like setting, echoing the album’s focus on stories of love and magic told through a lens of mystery. Target collaborated closely with Coldplay for the creative concept of the commercial, capturing the essence of the new single. In total, more than 500 paper stars—featuring lyrics to “Sky Full of Stars” handwritten by Chris Martin — were folded with the help of professional origami artist Alison Reisel. The band even rolled up their sleeves to fold some stars before being suspended mid-air among them.

Take a look at the making of the commercial in our behind-the-scenes video:

MoreColdplay- Behind The Scenes - Target Commercial play

Now the stars have become well, stars, in their own right.

You spotted them live during Coldplay’s SNL performance, and they’ll be traveling with the band for more performances leading up to album release on May 19.

Below, we talk to the origami expert who helped make Target’s commercial out-of-this-world awesome and snagged the attention of Coldplay.

So, how does one become an origami expert?
Alison Reisel: A few friends first got me interested in origami about 15 years ago. I started talking classes from this amazing woman who taught origami at the Japanese-American National Museum in L.A. I haven’t stopped since. Origami instantly captured my imagination. I’m detail-oriented and good with my hands—it’s a great creative and imaginative outlet for me.

What was your favorite part about being involved in the Coldplay commercial?
I always love being part of a creative collaboration and working with an art and production team, but the most amazing part was seeing the set come to life. I didn’t know I was making stars for Coldplay at first, and had no idea about the overall theme or vision—it was all kind of secret. I was thrilled to be invited to set and see the stars come to life in person!

And you got a pretty big surprise on set!
Yes — I met Coldplay! It was so unexpected. After being such a big part of the commercial’s creative concept, they all wanted to see how the stars were actually made. So, the crew set up a little crafting table for us and I got to teach the band how to fold the stars, which were then added to the set. There were so nice! I have to say they were awesome folders — you would have thought they’d been doing origami for years. Chris [Martin] memorized the steps after just one time.

Universal Language Launched

This week, my Martian murder-mystery novella, UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE, was published by the excellent NewCon Press. It’s available in paperback, ebook and the very fine signed hardback edition shown in the image above. It’s satisfyingly chunky; the word count actually edges it into short novel rather than novella categorisation.

I wrote several articles to introduce the book, including:

Also, Runalong the Shelves provided the first review, and – phew! – they liked it:

“…a fascinating mystery to solve while we are in the hands of a unique investigator and then get into a wider tale exploring humanity itself… a mixture of The Doctor and Columbo, [detective Abbey Oma] is a six-foot three private investigator who loves banter, often has to resist the urge to hug people and is very perceptive at working through the evidence and witnesses… a very successful novella mystery and also a great piece of science fiction.”

And, if you’ve read the novella or are contemplating doing so, you might be interested in the book soundtrack, available on Spotify:

(And here’s a blog post explaining the track choices.)

For more information and purchase links, head on over to the dedicated page for the novella.

Out of the Darkness – update

The Kickstarter campaign for the anthology OUT OF THE DARKNESS, which features horror and dark fantasy authors’ stories related to mental health issues, ended yesterday, and it was massively successful – more than 300% funded, with all stretch goals met! This is particularly welcome news, as all royalties, as well as editor Dan Coxon’s fees, will go to charity Together for Mental Wellbeing.

Over the course of the campaign Dan did a terrific job of raising awareness, and, along with other authors involved in the anthology, I contributed to a few articles:

Plus, here’s Dan speaking about the aims of the anthology in general, at Runalong the Shelves.

The anthology will be published by the wonderful Unsung Stories in August 2021, with the following tantalising lineup:

  • Nocturia – Nicholas Royle
  • The Note – Jenn Ashworth
  • Lonely Souls in Quiet Houses – Laura Mauro
  • Seabound – Alison Moore
  • Goodbye, Jonathan Tumbledown – Tim Major
  • The Chorus – Aliya Whiteley
  • Meet on the Edge – Gareth E. Rees
  • The Forlorn Hope – Verity Holloway
  • Oblio – Richard V. Hirst
  • Still She Visits – Eugen Bacon
  • Bloodybones Jones – Sam Thompson
  • Flotsam and Jetsam – Malcolm Devlin
  • The Lightness of their Hearts – Georgina Bruce
  • The Residential – Gary Budden
  • Replacement Bus Service – Ashley Stokes
  • Temple – Anna Vaught
  • The Hungry Dark – Simon Bestwick

HOPE ISLAND articles from around the web

Hope IslandA bunch of HOPE ISLAND articles have appeared online in the last couple of days:

Five of the biggest influences on HOPE ISLAND, including books, films and music – at The Dreamcage.

My ‘favourite creepy children’ – that is, my favourite books and films featuring creepy children, all of which influence HOPE ISLAND to some degree – at The BiblioSanctum

An interview covering my inspirations, my introductions to genre fiction, the state of the industry and future projects – at The Civilian Reader.

My list of ’10 sideways slides into fantasy’ – that is, classic novels in which weirdness creeps up on you, or pops up at unexpected moment – at Horror Tree.

A book soundtrack for HOPE ISLAND, including a Spotify playlist and reasons for each track pick – at Daily Dead.

In addition, more reviews have appeared in various places. For example: Ginger Nuts of Horror, the British Fantasy Society, the Morning Star, and Sublime Horror. Here’s an excerpt from the latter one:

“Intelligent and with a warm, beating heart at its core, Hope Island is that breed of novel that transcends genre definition… The portrayal of Nina’s emotional pain is soaringly honest and had me hooked from the get-go. In truth, I could have written this review using one word only – brilliant – and it would be enough. Hope Island is a claustrophobic, paranoid and exhilarating read.”

Guest post on John Scalzi’s blog

I’ve written a fair few articles to support the publication of Hope Island; they’ll be popping up around the internet during the next couple of weeks. The first two have appeared today:

The first is a big one for me: SF writer John Scalzi allowed me to write a ‘Big Idea’ piece for his ‘Whatever’ blog. I wrote about how parenthood can affect writing, and how I’ve managed to write despite parenthood, and the ways in which Hope Island is a product of my parental fears. Read the article here.

The second is a post I wrote for the wonderful Ginger Nuts of Horror website, about the development of Hope Island, from an initial attempt to write a straightforward, commercial novel, and ending with a moral: How can you spend 200 hours working on a novel and not introduce yourself in every scene, in every sentence? Read the article here.

Two guest blog posts

Two guest blog posts popped up online during the last week:

First off, Book Stewards put together a really nice Q&A, covering reasons I began writing, happy accidents that resulted in publications, upcoming projects and the elusive ‘Tim Major thing’. I also got to recommend a load of my favourite recent reads. You can read the full article here.

Secondly, Speculative Chic were nice enough to ask me to write an article for their ‘My Favourite Things’ series – I chose the SF, horror and classic films that are floating my boat at the moment. Here it is.

Black Static reviews ‘And the House Lights Dim’

The current issue of Black Static features a terrific review of my short story collection, AND THE HOUSE LIGHTS DIM. It’s insightful and detailed (a page and a half long!), and enthusiastic and kind. It made me cry a little. It includes careful analysis of each story in the collection, and ends with the following summation:

And the House Lights Dim is an immensely worthwhile read. A liquorice allsorts of genre and theme which nonetheless coheres thanks to the enduring prose style and strong sense of voice… If you like your stories strange, eerie and thought-provoking, this one is for you.”

You can find more details about the collection here.

New interview (with me)

Theaker’s Quarterly Fiction have published a new interview with me today. It’s quite a wide-ranging one, covering writing habits, recent publications, my work editing the British Fantasy Society’s BFS Horizons, as well as a minor revelation about my previous brief sideline as a bassist in a band that was actually pretty good. You can read the full interview here.

Hannah’s Bookshelf radio interview

Last week I was interviewed by Hannah Kate for her show Hannah’s Bookshelf on North Manchester FM. I really enjoyed it, and felt far more comfortable than I expected – it was a long, detailed conversation, but there always seemed plenty to discuss, which has done wonders for my confidence with regards to forthcoming public appearances.

We talked about my recent novel Snakeskins, my upcoming short story collection, And the House Lights Dim and my non-fiction book about Les Vampires – and also my preoccupation with houses, nostalgia and baked beans in fiction.

I also picked my books to cling onto after the apocalypse: John Wyndham’s The Day of the Triffids, John Updike’s collected Rabbit novels and T.H. White’s The Once and Future King.

If you fancy listening to the interview, it’s available to stream on Mixcloud.

SNAKESKINS – two weeks in the world (almost)

SNAKESKINS, my novel about a group of people who produce spontaneous clones, was published by Titan Books on 7th May. That seems a long time ago now! Today marks the end of an intense and intensely fascinating period – a fortnight-long marketing blitz which involved huge numbers of book bloggers and Instagrammers posting information, snippets, Q&As, giveaways and responses to the book. It’s been unlike anything I’ve experienced in the past. As I noted in my previous blog post, it took me a while (that is, all of launch day, which I frittered refreshing webpages obsessively) to understand that this process didn’t directly involve me – though of course I’d generated interview responses and blog posts etc before the event.

Snakeskins Interzone review May19As I’d hoped, week two has been markedly more casual and enjoyable. As well as my easing up on the F5 key, this was also the week in which a greater number of reviews began to filter through – culminating with the new issue of Interzone popping through my letterbox yesterday. The Interzone review is very positive and I’ve been buzzing ever since I read it. The fact that the reviewer is so enthusiastic about the novel is incredible (‘unflinching characterisation and at times deadly prose’ … ‘he’s set the bar high if he’s going to top this’), but just as incredible is the fact that Interzone contains a full-page review of my novel at all. When I first started writing fiction in 2013, my stated ambition was to receive a rejection slip from Interzone. Seriously, a rejection slip, rather than publication, because it would signal that I was giving this writing thing a real shot. I was delighted with that rejection slip. Then the next year my first story was accepted for Interzone – my first big sale, and the moment when I felt like I might have something to offer as a writer. To have graduated to a full-page review of my new novel feels equally as significant a milestone.

So, that was a big moment. What else? I was tipped off that a full-page ad for the book appeared on the back cover of Locus magazine (the US genre trade mag), which is pretty ace (thank you, Titan!). But while I wait for more reactions from readers and reviewers, the main activity has been updates on various book blogs. On top of the interviews and guest posts I mentioned last week, these pieces were published this week:

Oh, and I recorded my first radio interview! If you’re in the Manchester area you can listen to me talk at length to Hannah Kate on her show, Hannah’s Bookshelf (Saturday 18th May, 2–4pm). After the broadcast I’ll share links to listen online. I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation, but I’ll be wincing in embarrassment when I listen to the show, no doubt.

And there have been more reviews. Here are just a few:

Snakeskins has so much more in it than you might first imagine. It’s packed full of slowly revealed alternate history, it has mystery that unfolds at a great pace, and characters who aren’t superheroes but real people with believable motivations and personal stories. I read Snakeskins in one day because I couldn’t put it down, but the story, the world, and those who inhabit it will stay with me much, much longer.” Set the Tape

“Snakeskins is an excellently crafted and often horrifying look at identity and what it means to be human. … A keen look at human nature and the workings of a corrupt government” Pythia Reads

“I really went into this one not knowing what to expect, and ended up devouring it in two days! It’s fast-paced, the characters are well developed, it’s weird, and it’s totally British … I think folks who are into things like The X-Files or Orphan Black would love this!” Grimdark Dad

“This is an intriguing SciFi conspiracy novel which, as with all good SciFi, uses high concept ideas to explore prescient issues about our society’s treatment of people, and it’s bloody good too.” The Hebridean Reader

There are a lot more reviews besides those – I’m doing my best to collect them all on the dedicated SNAKESKINS page.

On top of this, I’ve been keeping an eye (okay, checking twice a day) on the Goodreads page for the book. It’s looking okay, I think! As of today there are 20 ratings, with a mean average of exactly 4 stars. If you do read the novel, I’d be grateful if you could post an honest review on Goodreads and, even better, Amazon. I’m told that amazing things happen if you get to 50 reviews, and I daren’t even imagine what that might be.

So, in short, all still going well. I suspect I’ll feel slightly adrift next week, without the tangible evidence of book blog updates. I’ve have to keep reminding myself that I have proof that people are reading the book right now, because that’s what this is all about, isn’t it?

SNAKESKINS – its first few days in the world

Well… It’s been a dizzying week. SNAKESKINS was published on Tuesday! It’s in hundreds of bookshops in the UK and the USA – I have photographic evidence! It’s being read right now! People seem to like it!

If I’m honest, I didn’t much enjoy publication day itself. My jittery anxiety translated into me checking my phone every 10 minutes for updates (and there were updates, every time). Wednesday was a bit better. By Thursday I was in the groove.

Because all that goodwill I mentioned a few days ago? It seems that it wasn’t just talk. To begin with, people are buying the book. They’re walking into bookshops or adding it to their Amazon cart. Phew. Furthermore, people who’ve read it seem to have genuinely enjoyed the experience. Whether all of this leads to more sales and more readers, I have no idea, and it’s out of my control. But things are still going as well as I could possibly hope. I keep trying to take snapshots of the current state of things, and the snapshots keep encouraging me.

The most visible evidence that the book is real and out there is the social media promotional tour going on right now. I’m a newbie to Instagram, but there seems a lot of traffic surrounding the book, ably orchestrated by the Titan marketing team, who are amazing. Part of learning to go with the flow this week has been making a decision that the Instagram activity doesn’t need to involve me, and perhaps is better off for me watching but not participating – as mixed in with the Q&As, giveaways and terrific photos are reviews and comments. I’m applying the age-old author rule of not responding to reviews, even when they’re positive. (But do you know what? They really are positive reviews, hooray!) If you follow #snakeskinstour or #titanbooks, you’ll see what’s cooking. The photos alone warm my heart.

Book blogs are more my comfort zone, and there’s a lot of blog activity too. Here are some handy links to everything that’s been published so far on this two-week social media blitz:

And there’s lots more to come!

Snakeskins blog tourFinally, reviews… any author’s waking nightmare. Except these are really positive! Here’s a taster:

“A heart stopping & thought provoking read, which will make you question how you would see your own identity in those circumstances & challenge your perceptions of acceptance.” (5 stars) Paperbacks and Pinot

“I read a lot of YA, yet this adult SF novel is by far one of the most convincing portrayals of burgeoning maturity I’ve ever read. … It’s a remarkably thoughtful consideration of identity and humanity, as the best sci-fi thrillers invariably are.” The Frumious Consortium

“…bizarre, and deeply resonant … glimpses of Adrian Barnes and Atwood at her very weirdest … Somehow otherworldly and yet so incredibly human, politically relevant but also touching on universal themes of identity and mortality, Snakeskins is a novel I will be thinking about for a very long time.”  Folded Paper Foxes

“It’s an unusual setup for an intricate political thriller that coils in on itself, tightening the tension as it circles toward satisfyingly shocking answers.” Barnes & Noble blog

So… I’m more than happy with the ways things are going. Here’s to lots more anxiety and (hopefully) more pleasant surprises next week, as more reviews come in. I’m doing my best to collect articles and reviews on the dedicated SNAKESKINS page. Or you could just skip all that and buy a copy? Just saying.

SNAKESKINS social media tour

The day is almost upon us… SNAKESKINS will be published in the UK and US tomorrow!

Snakeskins blog tour

To mark the occasion there will be a ten-day book blog tour, starting today – two blogs every day. I know, crazy!

First up today is my guest blog post at Bibliosanctum, about a SNAKESKINS soundtrack to an imagined adaptation. It includes doubles, identity issues, an isolated Britain thirty years behind ours. There are full explanations of each track choice in the article, and the soundtrack’s intended to work as a primer to the book too – no spoilers, I promise!

Snakeskins Instagram tourIf you’re one of the really cool kids, there’s also an Instagram tour – follow #snakeskinstour to see all updates. The first post is a mini-review, and it’s a very positive one, phew!

Finally, one of the book blog reviews went live already, on Paperbacks and Pinot, who said that ‘Snakeskins is a heart stopping and thought provoking read, which will make you question how you would see your own identity in those circumstances and challenge your perceptions of acceptance.’

SF Showcase interview

SF Showcase recently interviewed me about my YA novel, Machineries of Mercy, as well as the upcoming Snakeskins and even a glimpse of the novel after that. The conversation covers the influence of John Wyndham, the original Westworld film and one of my favourite Doctor Who stories, ‘The Deadly Assassin’. Click here to read the interview.

Music for writers

Another post about music… The excellent writer and excellent person James Everington was kind enough to invite me to contribute an article to his ‘Music for Writers’ series on his website. I never turn down a chance to talk about music, and given that pretty much all of my current music listening is a background to writing or work, this theme plays to my interests. You can read the full article, and listen to selections, here.

(Note that Music to write to is distinct from Book soundtracks, which I create for each of my novellas and novels. See here for some of those.)

The ‘elevator pitch’ as a writing tool

At the end of the month Abaddon publish the INVADERS FROM BEYOND print omnibus, which features my novella, BLIGHTERS, alongside others by Colin Sinclair and Julian Benson.

To celebrate its publication, I’ve written a guest blog post, which appeared today on the Sci-Fi Bulletin website. It’s titled ‘So, there are these giant alien slugs: The ‘elevator pitch’ as a writing tool’.

Alongside some writing advice, it includes a description of my pitch to Abaddon’s David Thomas Moore at my very first FantasyCon in 2015.

Book soundtrack: You Don’t Belong Here

I’ve created book soundtracks for all of my longer fiction (novels and novellas, both published and as-yet-unpublished), partly as a way of consolidating the tone, partly as an indulgence and a pat on the back and partly, typically, as a distraction activity during the final draft. The idea is to provide a musical teaser before reading the novel, or a soundtrack of a theoretical film adaptation, but not simply a background playlist.

Today Ginger Nuts of Horror published my article about book soundtracks, including the rules of my nerdy game (yes, there are rules and no, I don’t always stick to them. I won’t repeat the rules here (because you can read the full article instead), or the stories behind some of the track choices, but I don’t think it’s bad form to repost the Spotify playlist:

Two more reviews of You Don’t Belong Here (and a guest post)

I’m behind. The move to York was successful, securing broadband less so, but we’re here and I’m all operational again. Somehow, in the midst of the move I completed the final draft of my current novel, so there’s that.

Two reviews of You Don’t Belong Here have appeared online recently. The first is from Shoreline of Infinity, and is wonderfully positive throughout:

“This is not your average time-travel tale, then – well paced, with reveals all the way to the last page. For someone looking for something a little different, I’d recommend picking this up and giving it a go – and whilst this isn’t a book which invites a sequel, I’ll certainly be looking out for more of Tim Major’s work in future, especially if it brings this kind of fresh look to another sub-genre that can suffer from being a little predictable.”

The second is from Ginger Nuts of Horror. This one has me totally floored. While I’m taking this conclusion with a large pinch of salt, I’m also incredibly flattered:

You Don’t Belong Here is a novel that dares to do something different with a well-worn concept, an intelligent idea carried off with great success, in years to come when people talk about great and influential time travel novels, this is one that should be mentioned along with the greats of the genre.”

Finally, I think I neglected to blog about my guest post on The Bookish Outsider, ‘Windows into the Soul’, which is about the recurrence of houses in all of my long fiction.

“Gaining a clear mental image of a location goes a long way towards ‘finding’ a story, in the same way that pinning down the characteristics of a protagonist is vital. Moreover, characters are shaped, in part, by their surroundings. Your home isn’t just an expression of yourself. It goes the other way, too. It changes you. It makes you.”

New Year writing roundup

Phew, a fresh start. Actually, the arrival of 2017 is the first of a couple of fresh starts in quick succession for me – I’ll be moving house (and town) in mid-January, when I and my family will be packing up in Oxford and moving to York.

Still, this seems a good time to round up all the loose threads from the tail-end of last year…

You Don’t Belong Here

Screen Shot 2016-03-28 at 22.42.03Firstly, another positive and thoughtful review for YOU DON’T BELONG HERE, this time from Rising Shadow. The reviewer summarises the novel as ‘delightfully different from the time travel novels that have been published recently’.

Also on Rising Shadow, you can read an interview with me, in which I discuss SF influences, failed novels, the Infinite Monkey Cage and gratefulness.

If you haven’t read YOU DON’T BELONG HERE yet, it’s currently available on Amazon for only £6.88 for the paperback or £6.54 for the ebook. Bargain!

Short stories

Jonathan Green is currently prepping the Kickstarter for the followup to his popular Sharkpunk anthology, sensibly titled Sharkpunk 2. Alongside stories by James Lovegrove, Jon Oliver, Guy Haley and more, it’ll feature my weird horror story about the Greenland Shark, ‘Eqalussuaq’. You can join the Facebook group to receive updates.

Tunnel Vision

I also have new stories forthcoming in Hic Dragones’ Into the Woods anthology and the British SF magazine, Shoreline of Infinity. More info as and when.

You can read a reprint of my creepy primary-school story, ‘Tunnel Vision’, for free on the Pantheon website, which features the excellent illustration by Carrion House shown on the right.

See my list of published fiction for a full list of the stories and reprints I sold in 2016.

Writing progress

I’d been prepared for 2016 to be lacking in new writing, given the birth of my second son in June and a whole three months away from writing fiction. Somehow, however, I ended up writing slightly more than in each of the previous three years – around 126,000 words. My being freelance (and therefore more flexible) must have been responsible, despite the fact that it’s felt like more of a struggle finding writing hours.

Anyway, these 126k all-new words were plugged into just two projects. The first was BLIGHTERS, now available from Abaddon. The second project is a new SF novel, about a group of people who spontaneously produce clones. I’m nearing the end of a second draft and I’m hoping that a third will clinch it.

Other than that, I have two other writing projects coming up in 2017. They’re secret for now. It’s immensely exciting to be looking forward to what’s next.

You Don’t Belong Here – first reviews

Reviews of the novel have started appearing online…

  • The Eloquent Page – “You Don’t Belong Here is that perfect blend of cautionary tale, psychological horror and introspective character study. Tim Major does a great job of picking apart his protagonist and also keeping the reader on their toes. This is the sort of suspenseful writing I always enjoy. This story feels like it should sit somewhere between an episode of The Twilight Zone and Tales of the Unexpected. Highly recommended.”
  • The British Fantasy Society“[Daniel Faint] has either gone mad by being alone in the mansion for so long, or something has gone wrong and he is as sane as most folk. This is pretty much what the reader has to decide, and to be honest from the moment I picked the book up, I got straight into it…”
  • Horror After Dark“You Don’t Belong Here is a story that is very difficult to categorize. It’s a time travel/mystery/psychological mind game. How’s that?”

Also, you can read an extract from the start of the book at Speculative Fiction Showcase.

Better Balanced Game 4.1.x

PATCH NOTES – courtesy of Yellister
Link to Steam Workshop: HERE

“Welcome to 4.1 Patch ! First of all, apologies from BBG Team and myself for the confusion last patch. It was the debut patch and we weren’t fully ready. We will ensure it will not happen again. That being said, we can now keep going with this next patch, arriving for you straight up like a christmas gift. We’re gonna speak about under-used or never-used civs as we will buff some of them right now as a major focus of the patch. There will also be balance tweaks and bugfixes from last firaxis patch.

Without further adue, let’s get into it.”

Translations added + small tweaks

:arrow_down_small: War-cart
– Strength to 26 (from 28)
– Production to 55 (from 45)
Now gives +4 strength against barbarians

:arrows_counterclockwise: Radio Oranje

Fixed a bug when trading with a player or a city state was not giving the culture yields

“We decided to revamp a bit the civ and keep the focus as Sumeria is supposed to be the first civilization to have ever existed. We kept some of Sumeria’s early bonuses she had while trying to balance it so civ stays fair and fun to play against. We will listen to your feedback on it as we wanna make sure the civ fits a goal.”
:new: Bias upgraded to tier 3 floodplains (Gathering Storm only)
:new: Leader trait : Shūtur eli sharrī (Surpassing All Kings)
– Now grants 25% XP on all units (from 0)
– Starts now with a war-cart in the ancient era
– Levy cost and bonus when cleaning a barb camp unchanged
:new: Leader trait : The Cradle of Civilization
– Farms now gets +1 food if next to a river
– Farms now gets +1 production if next to a Ziggurat after Early Empire
:arrows_counterclockwise: War-carts
– Now 28 strength (from 36)
– Now 45 production (from 80)
– Now unlocked at start (from Horseback riding)
:arrow_down_small: Price upgraded to 120 (from 90)
:arrows_counterclockwise: Ziggurats
– Still gives +2 science, +1 culture, +1 culture at Cultural Heritage, +1 tourism at Flight
– Now gives 1 faith per district or per two farms
– Now cannot be built next to another Ziggurat (from Hills only)

“The balance issues of Hungary has always been the same since its release. It has always been too strong (too oppressive with city-states) or too weak (not doing enough to annoy the opponent). We give it back some of its power (and shift it directly towards city-state control) without it being unbearable from start but scaling over time.”

:arrow_up_small: Raven King
– Levied units are now +3 strength (from 0)
– Gain 2 envoys when levying cs from tier 2 government buildings onward (from 1)
:arrows_counterclockwise: Huszars
– Now gets +1 per city-state Hungary controls (from +1 per alliance)

“Considered the worst civ in the game by a lot of people, it seems like Netherlands really suffers from having a high tier on coast. We are decreasing it but it might not be enough for it to be played. We are keeping our eye on it as we want the civ to be considered good enough so players feel confident picking her, but we do not wanna overbuff it right away.”

:arrow_up_small: Bias
– Coast bias tier to 5 (from 2)
:arrow_up_small: Radio Oranje
– Trade routes to other players and city-states to 2 culture (from 1)

“Too oppressive with straight-up unlocking techs when having Eurekas, we are decreasing the amount it brings so you cannot unlock the full tech and need to get there before unlocking it. This therefore stops the cases of Infantry or Caravels super early in the game.”

:arrow_down_small: Enuma Amu Enlil
– Eurekas now provide 85% of Science required for technologies (from 100%)

“Phoenicia is too hard to punish right now because you need to be sure you one-shot kill in her boundaries for the unit to die. We are taking that away so it feels more fair to attack her”

Cothons – Bonus regeneration inside borders to 0 (from 100)

Faith generation

“Still considered too high, we tone down a bit the numbers.”

Dance of the aurora
– Now brings proximity bonuses only to flat tundra tiles (from all)
:arrow_down_small: Worship buildings
– Cost to 180 (from 120)

Great People

“The entirety of new great people seem strong or balanced, except for one : Imhotep, that is too strong because he can produce in less than a turn two wonders in online speed. We are taking away one of its charges so it feels like civilizations having control over early engineers do not steal every wonder from other players if your name is not China.”

:arrow_down_small: Imhotep – Charges to 1 (from 2)

“It has always felt infinitely unfair to lose civilian units to disasters, especially when tile is untouched, as it can be a game-ender on RNG status that you sometimes cannot control. We have decided to take this part of RNG away as it was bringing often nothing but early concedes or irrelevancies for no skill expression at all.”

:arrow_up_small: Civilians (settlers, builders) now cannot die to most of disasters.

Bug fixes

“If you did not know… yeah. N’Gazargamu was still 20% per building, though it said 10. But we are correcting it now. Too late to abuse it ! N’Gazargamu now correctly works with displayed amount of discount

Being suzerain from Nalanda more than one time do not bring free techs to every improvement you do after the first.

Now applies correctly to Nihang warriors.

Holy waters

Fixed a bug where taking Holy waters would fully heal your unit inside your borders.

Fixed a bug where Wall-breaker ability was not working.

Fixed a bug where Mapuche’s toqui ability would not work against civilizations in heroic age. Tooltip now correctly works aswell.

Religious victory

Fixed bugs where some leftovers from 4.0 beta were still there when not implemented in live patch.

Middle East

It’s Not Just Russia, Iran Is Spreading Internet Disinformation As Well

It's Not Just Russia, Iran Is Spreading Internet Disinformation As Well
Image by Nick Taylor

Evidence that Iran, or groups associated with the mullahs in Tehran, are aggressively spreading internet disinformation with anti-American, anti-Israeli, and anti-Saudi propaganda is mounting. One of Tehran’s favored techniques is to send a false news report made to look exactly like a mainstream news outlet’s work, in order to further the lie. These ‘fake news’ articles are then used to spread the disinformation throughout the internet.

The New York Times recently reported on the technique via the experience of Saudi dissident Ali al-Ahmed, head of the Gulf Institute, a Saudi opposition think tank in Washington, D.C.

Ahmed received a Twitter message purporting to be from an Egyptian woman living in London who said that she, too, was a Saudi opponent. But Mr. Al-Ahmed, who is based in Washington, was wary of the woman, who identified herself as Mona A. Rahman. “Her picture was too made up, like the picture of a model,” he recalled. Her Arabic was imperfect. And her messages in Arabic included a character that indicated that she was typing on a Farsi-language keyboard, wrote the New York Times.

Then she sent him an article that appeared to be from the website of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard about an unexpected development in Israeli politics. The article was on a site that had the exact logo, coloring and layout of the Harvard site. But the address was “” — not the real one, “” And the article, claiming the Israeli defense minister had been fired for being a Russian agent, was a total fabrication.

Mr. al-Ahmed has also been the recipient of multiple deceitful internet attacks from his home country of Saudi Arabia, so he is used to the treachery and can spot it easily.

“I’ve been a target of all kinds of things,” al-Ahmed said. “All kinds of people come after me. Only the methods change,” wrote the NYT.

With the pressure ramping up from the Trump administration over Iran’s continued support for terrorism and belligerent activities in the Middle East, analysts look for the mullahs of Tehran to become even more active in the future to bring global opinion on their side of the conflict.

In what the University of Notre Dame’s student newspaper is calling “a historic decision,” the University announced plans for a University- recognized homosexual student organization as well as a full-time student development staff position focused on LGBTQ issues.

The announcement was made as the result of a long review of the University’s policies. According to the student newspaper, Fr. John Jenkins, the president of the university, said that the plan “grows out of our mission as a Catholic university” and is “directed by that fundamental mission in a profound way.”

But although the plan describes the student organization as acting consistent with Catholic teaching, Fr. Jenkins seemed to indicate some doubt about how closely it will be regulated:

Prayers for the Church must continue.

The Los Angeles Archdiocese in response to a court order released thousands and thousands of documents from files on priests accused of sexual abuse and stunned many with the announcement that retired Cardinal Roger Mahony has been relieved of his public duties.

Archbishop Joze Gomez wrote a letter that appears on the Archdiocese’s website, which reads:

“My predecessor, retired Cardinal Roger Mahony, has expressed his sorrow for his failure to fully protect young people entrusted to his care. Effective immediately, I have informed Cardinal Mahony that he will no longer have any administrative or public duties. Auxiliary Bishop Thomas Curry has also publicly apologized for his decisions while serving as Vicar for Clergy. I have accepted his request to be relieved of his responsibility as the Regional Bishop of Santa Barbara.”

This is an astounding move. And likely sadly necessary. Cardinal Mahony is one of the most prominent Catholics in the United States.

Abp. Gomez reached out to victims of sexual abuse, offering his apologies and promising to work to ensure something like this never happens again. For that, we should pray.

My partner, David, and I had a small group of friends over this morning. We all spent the first half of today watching the inauguration of Barack Obama as 44th President of the United States. We shared food and comment and -- at 9 a.m. Pacific Time -- uncorked a bottle of something bubbly and toasted and cheered and enjoyed each other and the tremendous milestone that this day has meant to so many.

One of the remarkable aspects (and there have actually been many) has been the raw outpouring of emotion that President Obama’s election -- and now inauguration -- has invited. And at every step of the way, there’s been this delicious feeling of watching the beginning of tomorrow and being part of something absolutely new. And most of those watching in our small group were Canadians. Still, in so many ways, what is represented is beyond country. It’s even beyond race. One of the things Obama brings is a message of universal hope and optimism. Certainly, it’s very difficult for me to listen to him speak and not feel a little brighter about the future. It’s been a wonderful day.

Yes we can.

Today is also the official publication date of Death Was in the Picture. At this moment, that seems a very small thing in the shadow of a large, important one and, in any case, as I’ve mentioned in this space before, the publication date of a book is a fairly arbitrary thing. That said, I’m very proud of this book and happy that, as of now, the new Kitty Pangborn novel should be available at your favorite bookstore. If it is not, please ask them and they’ll bring it in for you. If you’d like a sneak peak, an excerpt of the book ran on January Magazine today.

Selecting a Call Channel

  • iPad
  • iPhone

As users increasingly move to methods of HCP engagement beyond in-person calls, capturing call channel information on each call report is crucial for capturing accurate, comprehensive call information. This feature enables collection of standardized, actionable benchmarking data on user interactions with HCPs and serves as a foundational use of call values for integrated CRM functionality. Users can be required to select a call channel to submit a call report, indicating how a user conducted the call—for example, whether the call was in-person, through video conferencing, or over the phone.

For example, Sarah Jones conducts a call with Dr. Ackerman over video conference. When she creates the call report for this meeting, she is prompted to select the appropriate call channel on the call report. Through Veeva, Sarah’s company uses this data to track the different methods of communications used for calls and compare their call methods against data on industry-wide practices.

  • When the REQUIRE_CALL_CHANNEL_vod Veeva Setting is enabled, the call channel button displays in the call header for iOS users, regardless of configuration, record type or page layout. If the call channel field is already on the page layout, it is suppressed and the new UI replaces it.
  • To enable Windows and Online users to select a call channel, the Call_Channel_vod field must be on the page layout. The Call Channel field continues to display with the existing field UI for Windows and Online users.
  • Users must select a value from the new call channel picklist on any pre-existing, saved call reports in order to submit the call
  • Veeva’s call channel does not replace any existing customer call channel or call type fields. Customers can choose to maintain use of their existing call fields, and using this new standard field will not interrupt any downstream reporting fed by existing fields.

Configuring Call Channel Selection

Ensure initial configuration is complete before enabling this functionality.

  1. Ensure users have FLS edit permission to the Call_Channel_vod field.

  2. Add the following values to the Call_Channel_vod picklist for each appropriate Call2_vod record type:
    • In_Person_vod
    • Video_vod
    • Phone_vod
    • Chat_or_Text_vod
    • Email_vod
    • Other_vod
  3. Ensure the Call_Channel_vod field is not marked as read-only on any Call2_vod page layout. If the Call_Channel_vod field is read-only, sync errors may occur when users save calls.

  4. Select the check box for the REQUIRE_CALL_CHANNEL_vod Veeva Setting.

Selecting the Call Channel from a Call Entry Point

When users create a call report from one of the following entry points, they are prompted to select a call channel before opening the call report:

  • Accounts page (list view and table view)
  • Account Details page
  • The More Actions menu on the Account Details page

To select a call channel, select the Record a Call button and then select the appropriate call channel from the drop down menu.

The user’s selection is then populated on the newly created call report.

Selecting the Call Channel on the Call Report

For all other entry points, users select a call channel on the call report. Users can change the selected channel until they submit the call. To select or change the call channel from the call report:

  1. Select the Call Channel button in the call header to display the picklist. When users create a new call report where the call channel is not selected, the picklist displays automatically.
  2. Select the appropriate option from the call channel picklist. When the call channel is selected, the corresponding icon displays in the call header.

For group calls with unique activities enabled, users select the call channel on the parent call. The selected call channel is then copied to all attendee (child) calls.

Submitting the Call Report

If users attempt to submit a call report without selecting a call channel, an error message displays. To dismiss the error and submit the call report, select the appropriate channel.

On submitted calls, the call channel picklist is read-only and the call channel button displays in gray. Users cannot edit the call channel for submitted calls.

Call Channel Picklist Values

The following values are available in the call channel picklist:

The call channel picklist values are hard-coded and cannot be removed, translated, added to, or otherwise modified. Making changes to the picklist values will result in sync errors for submitted calls that cannot be resolved. There is no default value, and customer-configured default values are not supported.

FAQ: Where To Buy Crossfit Gear?

What gear is needed for CrossFit?

CrossFit is characterized by its combination of gymnastics, weightlifting, Olympic weightlifting, and metabolic conditioning (like running, biking, rowing, and jumping rope). Most of the time you’ll use some equipment like a barbell, a pull-up bar, rings, kettlebells, a rower, an assault bike, or a battle rope.

Does CrossFit sell equipment?

Rogue is the official equipment supplier for the annual CrossFit Games. They normally sell used CrossFit Games equipment on the website at the conclusion of the event.

Do you get a shirt for CrossFit Open?

If you register for the open AND send us your 2021 CrossFit Open Judges certificate, you get a free shirt! If you don’t want to take the judges course but you register for the Open, you get $5 off.

Why are CrossFit boxes so expensive?

#2- CrossFit Owners pay more for space per member and more for training and other maintenance costs. Since we are not franchisees, CrossFit owners take on the cost of doing business for themselves and therefore have to pay for marketing, equipment replacement and other ongoing maintenance costs.

What should be in a CrossFit bag?

Below are the top 10 Items I have in my gym bag to take my game to the next level.

  1. Wrist Wraps. These are great if you have weak wrists like I do.
  2. Knee Sleeves/Knee Wraps.
  3. Olympic lifting shoes.
  4. Athletic Tape.
  5. Chalk.
  6. Foam Roller.
  7. Speed Rope.
  8. Bands.

How should I dress for CrossFit?

5 Things You Should Wear to CrossFit

  1. The Right Trainers for You. Success is built from a solid foundation and that includes your training shoes.
  2. A Breathable Tank or T-Shirt. CrossFit is tough, and you’ll be working and sweating hard.
  3. Shorts or Tights That Allow you to Move Freely.
  4. A Good Sports Bra.
  5. Technical Wicking Socks.

Why are weights so expensive?

These prices are decidedly higher than normal. “They are sold out everywhere. The average cost of dumbbells is somewhere between a dollar and two dollars a pound, so this increase is about supply and demand. Price gouging laws generally only apply to necessary items like food, water, and shelter.

Is CrossFit a rogue?

Rogue has been associated with CrossFit from its beginning. Rogue is one of the primary suppliers for equipment for CrossFit boxes around the world. It started supplying equipment for the CrossFit Games in 2009, before becoming the sole provider to the Games and regional events in 2010.

Is CrossFit still with Reebok?

Reebok announced in June 2020 that it was ending its partnership with CrossFit after the organization’s former CEO, Greg Glassman, made an insensitive comment on Twitter regarding George Floyd.

Why did Reebok pull out of CrossFit?

CrossFit came under fire from its close-knit community after staying silent and not taking a stand against racism. Sportswear brand Reebok has announced that it will be ending its association with CrossFit following remarks by the American fitness brand’s founder and chief executive on Twitter.

You might be interested:  FAQ: Why Is Crossfit Good?

Is Reebok affiliated with CrossFit?

Remind me: Way back in 2010, Reebok signed on to become the title sponsor for the CrossFit Games, and the exclusive outfitter for CrossFit for a term of 10 seasons. The title sponsorship began in 2011 and came to an end following the 2020 Games.

Why is CrossFit bad?

Not only are the exercises themselves risky, but performing them under a fatigued state, such as during an intense circuit, increases the risk of injury even further. WARNING: A very serious, yet rare muscular injury known as rhabdomyolysis is also a major concern with participation in vigorous exercise.

Is doing CrossFit everyday bad?

CrossFit workouts several days in a row, let alone 5 days a week, doesn’t allow the body much time to heal from the workout. This not only slows your progress but it can cause stress fractures, strains, or even rhabdomyolysis from overtraining / under recovery.

Is CrossFit the best way to get in shape?

CrossFit can absolutely help you get in great shape, and depending on the coach you work with, it’s not as dangerous as some people would have you believe. That said, CrossFit isn’t the best way to gain muscle and strength and lose fat, which is why many people get into it in the first place.

The goal of computer vision is to compute properties of the three-dimensional world from images and video. Problems in this field include indentifying the 3D shape of a scene, determining how things are moving, and recognizing familiar people and objects. This course provides an introduction to computer vision, including such topics as feature detection, image segmentation, motion estimation, object recognition, and 3D shape reconstruction through stereo, photometric stereo, and structure from motion.

Prerequisites: Linear algebra and calculus; data structures/algorithms; and MATLAB, Python, C/C++, or other programming experience.

Programming aspects of the assignments will be completed using MATLAB or Python.

Late Policy: No assignments will be accepted after the due date.

Academic Integrity Policy: Integrity of scholarship is essential for an academic community. The University expects that both faculty and students will honor this principle and in so doing protect the validity of University intellectual work. For students, this means that all academic work will be done by the individual to whom it is assigned, without unauthorized aid of any kind.

Collaboration Policy: It is expected that you complete your academic assignments on your own (or in your own group) and in your own words and code. The assignments have been developed by the instructor to facilitate your learning and to provide a method for fairly evaluating your knowledge and abilities (not the knowledge and abilities of others). So, to facilitate learning, you are authorized to discuss assignments with others; however, to ensure fair evaluations, you are not authorized to use the answers developed by another, copy the work completed by others in the past or present, or write your academic assignments in collaboration with another person. If the work you submit is determined to be other than your own, you will be reported to the Academic Integrity Office for violating UCSD's Policy on Integrity of Scholarship.

Case File No. 259 - Deadline: August 31, 2018

Happy August! Summer sure is flying by, but we're excited to start a new month at CSI because a new month means new challenges, new sponsors, and new guest designers.

Our challenges stay open all month long. And did you know that you are welcome to submit as many layouts as you'd like for the challenges? We also don't mind if you combine our challenge with other challenges or with your design team work. We are here to inspire you to scrap and tell your story!

So, are you ready for the new challenge? Grab you forensics kits, CSI players, and get ready for some serious sleuthing as we open Case File No. 259.

As summer break closes here in the U.S., many folks are packing their bags for their last opportunities to get away, so we're celebrating vacations with our Case Files this month! To help us do that, we found this super cool Scene on Pinterest to inspire our Case File.

Feel free to interpret the Case File in any way that inspires you, or for our traditional clues, scroll down to the bottom of this post.

For our Russian players, Detective Anastasia has translated our Case File into Russian:

We're so excited to have thirteen generous sponsors this month! Our sponsors are among the best in the crafting industry, offering unique and trendy products. CLICK HERE to read more about these generous sponsors and the prizes they're donating.

We're excited have talented design team members from the Tres Jolie join us as Guest Detectives this month. Their inspiration will be presented for the July 15 Case File.

So...are you ready for some serious inspiration?

Here is how the CSI Detectives have expertly cracked the case. You can read more about how the Case File inspired them on their blogs (links on sidebar).

Image may contain: 1 person, smiling

How Louise solved the Case File: "Dodgems" Inspired by the cars I firstly chose my photos. Then I wrote "show day" inspired words on a white background. I've used a speech bubble highlight and stamped the black border.

No automatic alt text available.

How Lisa solved the Case File: I was inspired by the color, airplane, and flower in the photo. I used all 5 colors along with a map pattern, solid white background, architectural and travel elemnets and trees. For my testimony, I documented a vacation.

Image may contain: 1 person

How Laura solved the Case File: I used travel elements, stamping, solid white background, transportation. Journaled about our trip to LA.

No automatic alt text available.

How Edith solved the Case File: I was inspired by : text pattern, solid white background, daytrip, word "hello" and the colors.

No automatic alt text available.

How Lisa-Marie solved the Case File: Aside from using all the colours and working on a solid white background for this challenge, my eye was immediately drawn to the black speech bubble on the top left hand corner of the Inspiration Image. I decided to apply the same black highlighting feature on my layout, so I adhered my photo cluster to a large black circle. Further, I incorporated some flowers, script paper and travel element paper.

How Debbi solved the Case File: Tracee and I decided we'd each scrap this photo of us at the airport on the day she left to return home to England. I used as many of the traditional clues as possible. I obviously used the color scheme. Evidence clues I used include a text pattern, patterned paper with a hand-drawn look, speech bubbles, architectural elements, transportation, travel-themed elements, trees, cursive font, triangles, and stamping. Testimony clues include documenting a trip and putting my journaling in a speech bubble.

No automatic alt text available.

How Natsuko solved the Case File: I was inspired by the colors, map pattern and vehicles. I used a cut file to make a map-like pattern and documented a daytrip picture.

Image may contain: 3 people, people smiling

How Annie solved the Case File: This fun image inspired me to create a page with a cartoon feel. I followed the traditional clues, and printed my photo in black and white so that I could colour it with Distress Ink to match the Scheme.

Image may contain: 1 person

How Patty solved the Case File: I was inspired by the colors and a destination that is on my son's bucket list. He wants to go to Iceland! The land of Fire and Ice!

Image may contain: 3 people, people smiling

How Libeeti solved the Case File: The first element in the inspiration photo that my eyes were drawn to was the black speech bubble with the white hand script and the plane. I went old school and used all 5 colors. From the clues I've used: map pattern (the globe die-cut), speech bubbles, architectural elements, transportation, travel-themed elements and stamping.

My journaling, on the tags, document a daytrip in Paris, and I was also inspired by the word "Good", it reminded me the Beatles song, hence my title "Good day sunshine".

No automatic alt text available.

How Anastasia solved the Case File: As soon as I saw word "food" I knew what I would be making. On my last vacation I spent a week with my family and we went out a few times and had a road trip. I had to document the food we had!

Evidence I used: Solid white background, Text pattern, Transportation, Travel-themed elements (all dies cuts are from 2 travel collections), Food elements, Cursive font, Stamping.

Image may contain: Carina Kindh, smiling

How Carina solved the Case File: I love making travel pages! I was inspired by the map over Madrid and I wanted to incorporate that with the vintage photos of London and Paris. I also added the little charm with the Union Jack. The photo is from one of our trips to London.

No automatic alt text available.

How Nina solved the Case File: I was inspired by the gorgeous colour combo, and wanted to document a trip to Sweden and lovely Varberg this summer, where the sunny weather and long beaches made us try new outdoor activities.

Image may contain: 1 person

How Kim solved the Case File: I loved the colors of this case file and decided to go traditional with the colors (although I think my blues are a bit off). However, my photo is of me on my recent trip to Jamaica, so I kinda did the travel theme as well. I tried to sneak in some of the clues as well. I went with patterned paper with a hand drawn look, architectural elements(chipboard pieces) and stamping.

  • Text pattern
  • Patterned paper with a hand-drawn look
  • Solid white background

How the CTA will be processing refund-related complaints resulting from the pandemic

Updated -  Financial support announced for Air Canada, Air Transat, Sunwing and Porter

As a condition of the financial support announced by the Government of Canada on April 12 to Air Canada, and subsequently to Air Transat on April 29, to Sunwing on June 25, and to Porter on June 30, the four airlines are required to refund passengers for certain pandemic-related cancelations.

As of April 13, Air Canada has begun offering eligible customers who purchased non-refundable fares, but did not travel due to COVID-19 since February 2020, the option of a refund to the original form of payment. Air Transat began doing so on April 29. Air Canada passengers have until July 12, 2021 to submit a request while Air Transat passengers have until August 26, 2021.

Sunwing also reached an agreement with the Canada enterprise emergency funding corp. Effective June 25, 2021, Sunwing Vacations will begin accepting and processing refund requests from eligible customers with non-refundable bookings whose vacations were cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This will apply to eligible flights, hotels and vacation packages booked on or before June 25, 2021 for scheduled travel on or after February 1, 2020. The deadline to submit a refund request is August 27, 2021.

Following the June 30th agreement with Porter airlines, the airline has begun reimbursing air passengers who are eligible for a refund for their flights booked between February 1, 2020, and prior to June 30, 2021. Customers have until September 3 to submit a refund request online.

As of June 29th at close of business, the CTA has received 16,551 complaints since March 15th 2020, of which 10,311 are related to refund-related issues stemming from the pandemic. Of these 16,551 complaints, 4,957 were filed against Air Canada, of which 2,514 sought refunds as a remedy. 1,725 complaints were filed against Air Transat, with 1,431 seeking refunds as a remedy. 1,665 of those were filed against Sunwing, of which 685 are seeking refunds as a remedy. 106 were filed against Porter, of which 91 sought refunds as a remedy.

The remaining complaints cover other air-travel related issues – for example, flight delays or baggage problems. It is anticipated that persons who seek a refund in their complaint to the CTA may be able to obtain such refund as part of the measures to be implemented by Air Canada, Air Transat and Sunwing as a condition for their financial support.

The process to receive a refund linked to the financial support announced for Air Canada, Air TransatSunwing and Porter is distinct from the CTA's complaints process.

We will confirm whether applicants who filed complaints with us have had those resolved with the airlines.

The CTA will continue to process complaints unless passengers inform us they do not wish to pursue their complaints with us further (e. g., if a passenger receives a refund and is not seeking any further remedies). In the interests of fairness, the CTA processes most complaints on a first-in, first-out basis.

Consultation on new refund requirements – next steps

On December 18, 2020, the CTA was provided with a new authority to develop a regulation requiring airlines to issue refunds to passengers for flights cancelled for reasons beyond airlines' control, when passengers' itineraries cannot be completed within a reasonable time. We received over 119 submissions during the consultation period, which ended on March 1st 2021. The proposed regulations are now published on Canada Gazette, Part I. Public comments can be submitted to until August 31, 2021.
