Frank Belknap Long Jr. (April 27, 1901 – January 3, 1994) was an American writer of horror fiction, fantasy, science fiction, poetry, gothic romance, comic books, and non-fiction. Though his writing career spanned seven decades, he is best known for his horror and science fiction short stories, including contributions to the Cthulhu Mythos alongside his friend, H. P. Lovecraft. During his life, Long received the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement (at the 1978 World Fantasy Convention), the Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement (in 1987, from the Horror Writers Association), and the First Fandom Hall of Fame Award (1977).
He was born in Manhattan, New York City on April 27, 1901. He grew up in the Harlem area of Manhattan. His father was a prosperous dentist and his mother was May Doty. The family resided at 823 West End Avenue in Manhattan. Long's father was a keen fisher and hunter, and Long accompanied the family on annual summer vacations from the age of six months to 17, usually in the Thousand Islands region on the Canadian shore, about seven miles from the village of Gananoque. When he was three years old, on one of these vacations, Long fell into the river at the end of a long pier and contracted pneumonia
A lifelong resident of New York City, Long was educated in the New York City public school system. As a boy he was fascinated by natural history, and wrote that he dreamed of running "away from home and explore the great rain forests of the Amazon." He developed his interest in the weird by reading the Oz books, Jules Verne, and H.G. Wells as well as Ambrose Bierce and Edgar Allan Poe. Though writing was to be his life's work, he once commented that as "important as writing is, I could have been completely happy if I had a secure position in a field that has always had a tremendous emotion and an imaginative appeal for me—that of natural history."
In his late teens, he was active in the United Amateur Press Association (UAPA) in which he won a prize from The Boy's World (around 1919) and thus discovered amateur journalism. His first published tale was "Dr Whitlock's Price (United Amateur, March 1920). Long's story "The Eye Above the Mantel" (1921), a pastiche of Edgar Allan Poe, in UAPA, caught the eye of H. P. Lovecraft, sparking a friendship and correspondence that would endure until Lovecraft's death in 1937.
Long attended New York University from 1920 to 1921, studying journalism but later transferred to Columbia, leaving without a degree. In 1921, he suffered a severe attack of appendicitis, leading to a ruptured appendix and peritonitis. He spent a month in New York's Roosevelt Hospital, where he came close to dying. Long's brush with death propelled him into a decision that he would leave college to pursue a freelance writing career.
Early career: the 1920s
In 1924, at the age of 22, he sold his first short story, "The Desert Lich", to Weird Tales magazine. Throughout the next four decades, Long was to be a frequent contributor to pulp magazines, including two of the most famous: Weird Tales (under editor Farnsworth Wright) and Astounding Science Fiction (under editor John W. Campbell). Long was an active freelance writer, also publishing many non-fiction articles.
His first book, the scarce volume A Man from Genoa and Other Poems, was published in 1926 by W. Paul Cook. Two copies are held in the collections of John Hay Library. The poems in this collection won praise from a great variety of writers, among them Arthur Machen, Robinson Jeffers, William Ellery Leonard, John Drinkwater, John Masefield and George Sterling. Samuel Loveman declared that Long's poem "The Marriage of Sir John de Mandeville" was worthy of Christopher Marlowe.
Long's closest friends (apart from H. P. Lovecraft) in this period included Samuel Loveman, H. Warner Munn, and James F. Morton. He had several encounters with Hart Crane, who lived one flight above Loveman in Brooklyn Heights.
"The Horror from the Hills", a story serialised in 1931 in Weird Tales, incorporated almost verbatim a dream H. P. Lovecraft related to him (among other correspondents) in a letter. The short novel was published many years later in separate book form by Arkham House in 1963, as The Horror from the Hills.
In the late 1930s, Long turned his hand to science fiction, writing for Astounding Science Fiction. He also contributed horror stories to Unknown (later called Unknown Worlds). Long contributed an episode (along with C.L. Moore, Robert E. Howard and H. P. Lovecraft) to the round-robin story "The Challenge from Beyond" (1935).
Like The Man from Genoa and Other Poems, his second book is a volume of fantastic verse: The Goblin Tower (1935), published jointly by H. P. Lovecraft and Robert H. Barlow under Barlow's The Dragonfly Press imprint. (A variant edition of this volume was published in 1945 by New Collectors Group - see Bibliography). Published in an edition of only 100 copies, this volume is exceedingly scarce; two copies are held at the collections of the John Hay Library.
In pulps such as Thrilling Wonder Stories and Startling Stories during the 1940s, Long sometimes wrote using the pseudonym "Leslie Northern". What Long characterized as a "minor disability" kept him out of World War II and writing full-time during the early 1940s.
Long reportedly ghost-wrote two, possibly three, of the Ellery Queen Jr novels (mentioned in correspondence with August Derleth) but did not identify the titles. It is believed that the two are The Black Dog Mystery (1941) and The Golden Eagle Mystery (1942). The third may have been The Mystery of the Golden Butterfly, which was never published. (This volume is mentioned as Long's on the rear panel of The Horror from the Hills and on the rear flap of The Rim of the Unknown).
He wrote comic books in the 1940s, including horror stories for Adventures Into the Unknown (ACG). Long contributed several original scripts to this comic's early issues, as well as an adaptation of Walpole's The Castle of Otranto. He authored scripts for Planet Comics, Superman, Congo Bill, DC's Golden Age Green Lantern, and the Fawcett Comics Captain Marvel. He worked in the 1940s as a script-reader for Twentieth Century Fox Long wrote crime and weird menace stories for Ten Gang Mystery and other magazines.
During the 1940s, Long lived for a period in California[where?].
In 1946, Arkham House published Long's first collection of supernatural fiction, The Hounds of Tindalos, which collected 21 of his best tales from the previous twenty years of magazine publication. It featured works which had appeared in such pulps as Weird Tales, Astounding Stories, Super Science Stories, Unknown, Thrilling Wonder Stories, Dynamic Science Fiction, Startling Stories, and others. In "The Man from Time", a time-traveller from the future has an encounter with writer F. Scott Fitzgerald.
His later science fiction works include the story collection John Carstairs, Space Detective (1949) about a 'botanical detective', and the novels Space Station 1 (1957), Mars is My Destination (1962) and It Was the Day of the Robot (1963).
In the 1950s he was involved with editing five different magazines. He was uncredited associate editor on The Saint Mystery Magazine and Fantastic Universe. He was associate editor on Satellite Science Fiction, 1959; on Short Stories, 1959–60; and on Mike Shayne Mystery Magazine until 1966.
After the decline of the pulps, Long moved into the prolific production of science fiction and gothic romance novels during the 1960s and 1970s. He even wrote a Man from UNCLE story, "The Electronic Frankenstein Affair", which appeared under the pen name Robert Hart Davis in the Man from UNCLE Magazine.
In 1960, he married Lyda Arco, an artists' representative and aficionado of drama. She was a Russian descended from a line of actors in the Yiddish theatre who ran a salon in Chelsea, NY. They stayed together till Long's death in 1994, but had no children. Long described himself as an "agnostic." Referring to Lovecraft, Long wrote that he "always shared HPL's skepticism . . . concerning the entire range of alleged supernatural occurrences and what is commonly defined as 'the occult.'"
In 1963 Arkham House published Long's novel The Horror from the Hills, a work partly incorporating Lovecraft's account of a dream Lovecraft had experienced. This work introduced Long's alien entity Chaugnar Faugn into the Cthulhu Mythos cycle.
In 1972 Arkham House published The Rim of the Unknown, their second hardcover collection of Long's work - a volume focusing primarily on his science fiction short stories.
Long wrote nine modern Gothic novels, starting with So Dark a Heritage in 1966 (published under his own name), eight of which were published as by "Lyda Belknap Long", a combination of his wife (Lyda Arco Long)'s first name and his middle name and surname. Seven of these appeared during the 1970s; all were entirely his own work and were workmanlike products intended to support him and his wife rather than to be of high literary quality.
Illumination on Long's own life and work is provided by his extensive introduction to The Early Long (1975), a collection of his best early stories which essentially duplicates the contents of The Hounds of Tindalos but to which Long adds detailed headnotes to each story. Further writing on his own life is found in his Autobiographical Memoir (Necronomicon Press, 1986).
Long's book-length memoir of H. P. Lovecraft, Howard Phillips Lovecraft: Dreamer on the Nightside, was issued by Arkham House in 1975. It was written in haste as a result of Long's reading of L. Sprague de Camp's Lovecraft: A Biography (1975), which Long felt to be biased against Lovecraft.
In 1977, Arkham House issued Long's hardcover poetry collection In Mayan Splendor, containing all the poems from A Man from Genoa and Other Poems (1924) and The Goblin Tower (1926). The same year he won the First Fandom Hall of Fame award (1977). In 1978 he won the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement (at the 1978 4th World Fantasy Convention).
Later career: 1980s–1990s
Long's literary output slowed down after 1977, with his gothic The Lemoyne Heritage. He published several scattered stories in the 1980s including the story chapbook "Rehearsal Night" (Pub: Thomas L. Owen,1981) and one episode in the round-robin sequence Ghor Kin-Slayer (Necronomicon Press, 1997). He and his wife lived in extreme poverty during the 1980s and 1990s in an apartment in Chelsea, Manhattan - a period documented in Peter Cannon's memoir Long Memories (1997).
In 1987, Long was awarded the Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement (from the Horror Writers Association).
Long, though confined to a wheelchair, was a Guest of Honour at the H. P. Lovecraft Centennial Conference in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1990, where he spoke on panels regarding his memories of his great friend and literary mentor.
Long died of pneumonia on January 3, 1994, at the age of 92 at Saint Vincent's Catholic Medical Center in Manhattan, after a seven-decade career as a writer and editor. He was briefly survived by his wife, Lyda.
Due to his poverty, he was interred in a potter's field. Friends and colleagues had his remains reinterred at New York City's Woodlawn Cemetery, in a family plot near that of Lovecraft's grandparents. A graveside ceremony on November 3, 1995, was attended by such figures as Scott D. Briggs, Peter Cannon, Stefan Dziemianowicz, Ben P. Indick, S. T. Joshi, T.E.D. Klein and others and with a homily delivered by the Rev. Robert M. Price. On November 17, 1995, the actual interment of Long's body took place, an event witnessed by Peter Cannon, Ben P. Indick and S. T. Joshi. Long's fans contributed over $3,000 to have his name engraved upon the central shaft of his burial plot. Lyda died shortly after Frank; her ashes were scattered on his grave.
In 2015, Wildside Press acquired the rights to Long's copyrights from Long's cousins. Since that time, all Wildside Press reprints of Long's work carry the acknowledgment "Reprinted with the kind permission and assistance of Lily Doty, Mansfield M. Doty, and the family of Frank Belknap Long."
Frank Belknap Long left behind a body of work that included twenty-nine novels, 150 short stories, eight collections of short stories, three poetry collections, and numerous freelance magazine articles and comic book scripts. Author Ray Bradbury summed up Long's career: "Frank Belknap Long has lived through a major part of science fiction history in the U.S., has known most of the writers personally, or has corresponded with them, and has, with his own writing, helped shape the field when most of us were still in our early teens."
Friendship with Lovecraft
H. P. Lovecraft was a close friend and mentor to Frank Belknap Long, with whom he came in contact in 1920 when Long was nineteen. Lovecraft found Long a stimulating correspondent especially in regard to his aesthetic tastes, focussing on the Italian Renaissance and French literature. Lovecraft published some of Long's early work in his Conservative (e.g. Felis: A prose Poem [July 1923], about Long's pet cat) and paid tribute to Long in a flattering article, "The Work of Frank Belknap Long, Jun.," published anonymously in the United Amateur (May 1924) but clearly by Lovecraft. They first met when Lovecraft visited New York in April 1922. They saw each other with great frequency (especially during Lovecraft's Brooklyn residence in New York City from 1924 to 1926), at which time they were the chief members of the Kalem Club and wrote to each other often. Long's family apartment was always Lovecraft's residence and headquarters during his periodic trips from Providence to New York. Long writes that he and Lovecraft exchanged "more than a thousand letters, not a few running to more than eighty handwritten pages" before Lovecraft's death in 1937. Some of their correspondence has been reprinted in Arkham House's Selected Letters series, collecting the voluminous correspondence of Lovecraft and his friends. Long's Howard Phillips Lovecraft: Dreamer on the Night Side was extensively edited by James Turner.
During the 1920s, Long and Lovecraft were both members of the Kalem Club (named for the initials of the surnames of original members—K, L, or M). Long was also part of the loosely associated "Lovecraft Circle" of fantasy writers (along with Robert Bloch, August Derleth, Robert E. Howard, Henry Kuttner, Clark Ashton Smith, C. M. Eddy, Jr., and Donald Wandrei) who corresponded regularly with each other and influenced and critiqued each other's works.
Long wrote a brief preface to the stillborn edition of Lovecraft's The Shunned House (1928). Lovecraft, in turn, ghostwrote for Long the preface to Mrs William B. Symmes' Old World Footprints (W. Paul Cook/The Recluse Press, 1928), a slim poetry collection by Long's aunt. Long's short novel The Horror from the Hills (Weird Tales, Jan and Feb-March 1931; published in book from 1963) incorporates verbatim a letter by Lovecraft recounting his great 'Roman dream' of Hallow'een 1927. Long teamed with Lovecraft in a revision service with Lovecraft in 1928. Long's parents frequently took Lovecraft on various motor trips between 1929 and 1930, and Lovecraft visited Long at Christmas between 1932 and 1935 inclusive. Lovecraft helped set type for Long's second poetry collection, The Goblin Tower (1935), correcting some of Long's faulty metre in the process. Lovecraft's letters to Long after 1931 have all been lost[how?], with the letters up to that date existing primarily in transcriptions prepared by Arkham House.
The Long/Lovecraft friendship was fictionalized in Peter Cannon's 1985 novel Pulptime: Being a Singular Adventure of Sherlock Holmes, Lovecraft, and the Kalem Club as if Narrated by Frank Belknap Long, Jr.. Long was a Guest of Honour at the Lovecraft Centennial Conference in Providence in 1990.
Long wrote a number of early Cthulhu Mythos stories. These included "The Hounds of Tindalos" (the first Mythos story written by anyone other than Lovecraft), The Horror from the Hills (which introduced the elephantine Great Old One Chaugnar Faugn to the Mythos), and "The Space-Eaters" (featuring a fictionalized HPL as its main character). A number of other works by Long can be considered as falling within the Cthulhu Mythos; these include "The Brain Eaters" and "The Malignant Invader", as well as such poems as "The Abominable Snowman" and "When Chaugnar Wakes". A later Mythos story, "Dark Awakening", appeared in New Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos. The story betrays the influence of Long's pseudonymous romantic fiction, and the final paragraph was added by the editor at Long's suggestion.
The "Hounds of Tindalos" is Long's most famous fictional creation. The Hounds were a pack of foul and incomprehensibly alien beasts "emerging from strange angles in dim recesses of non-Euclidean space before the dawn of time" (Long) to pursue travelers down the corridors of time. They could only enter our reality via angles, where they would mangle and exsanguinate their victims, leaving behind only a "peculiar bluish pus or ichor" (Long).
Influence on popular culture
The Hounds of Tindalos have been used or referenced by many later Mythos writers, including Ramsey Campbell, Lin Carter, Brian Lumley and Peter Cannon. Cannon's story "The Letters of Halpin Chalmers", a direct sequel to "The Hounds of Tindalos", in which the main characters are thinly disguised versions of Frank and Lyda Long, appears in Robert Weinberg, Stefan R. Dziemianowicz and Martin H. Greenberg, 100 Crooked Little Crime Stories (NY: Barnes and Noble, 1994). Creatures resembling the Hounds are antagonists in Shaun Hamill's A Cosmology of Monsters (NY: Pantheon, 2019).
The Hounds have also inspired a number of metal and electronic music artists. Metallica (with their song "All Nightmare Long" from their ninth studio album Death Magnetic), Epoch of Unlight, Edith Byron's Group, Beowulf, Fireaxe, and Univers Zero have all recorded tracks incorporating them.
Peter Cannon's novel Pulptime features Long as the narrator. Long also appears in Richard Lupoff's novel Lovecraft's Book (1985) and its full-text version Marblehead.
- A Man from Genoa and Other Poems (1926) (Athol, MA: W. Paul Cook)
- The Goblin Tower (Cassia FL: Dragon-Fly Press, 1935; New Collectors Group, 1945). Note: Due to the somewhat misleading publisher's introduction to the New Collectors Group edition, it is often mis-catalogued as a reprint of the 1935 Dragon-Fly Press edition. In fact, the selection of poems differs; the New Collectors Group edition drops four, "When Chaugnar Wakes," "Exotic Quest," "West Indies" and "Martial: The Vacationist" and adds three, "The Prophet," "Prediction" and "Walt Whitman." The collection is not to be confused with the novel of the same title by L. Sprague de Camp.

Baccarat winning strategy pdf is a book that explains the various strategies to win at this casino game. It covers everything from how to play the game to the various advantages the player has over the casino. This book is written in English and contains instructions for both beginners and veteran players. It also includes a Quick Start Guide.
The strategy is based on the concept of “grind,” which dates back to 1956. It involves betting exactly one chip on consecutive cycles, reducing the house’s advantage. The book includes details about base bets and game bankrolls, target profits, and loss limits. In addition, the strategy integrates the rules of baccarat and explains the various betting strategies that can help you win more games.
Another strategy that is common among beginners is the Martingale Progression. This involves raising your bets after a series of losses, and it relies on the idea that you’ll win eventually. The problem with this strategy is that it requires you to take a lot of risks in exchange for a small amount of winnings. You can end up wiping out hours of profits in minutes.
If you’re new to baccarat, it may seem like a game of luck, and it is. However, with the right tactic, you can win big time in this game. First, you must make sure you know where to place your bets. Secondly, you must know the minimum betting amount. Some Baccarat tables have very high minimums, so you’ll want to be aware of these requirements before you play.

“A thoughtful and intimately layered consideration of attention and memory-making in the digital-preservation era, ‘Listening Room’ is eloquently executed in its attempt to locate and parse aesthetic context, as well as the impingement of it, both personally as a consumer and as part of the crowd.

When an organization is born, it’s like a clean sheet of paper waiting to be filled with stories, achievements, success, failures, losses, laurels, joy, milestones, and so on. As years go by and that clean sheet of paper gets overcrowded, it means you have a lot of records piling out of the desks. This is the time for you to look for a proper collections managements system.
You may not need the information that was recorded or considered important for the organization ten years from now, but that doesn’t mean it does not have value. The best way to deal with all those vital but not so regularly used records would be to archive them.
However, if you simply throw all those records at one place and stack them one over the other, you may permanently lose some really critical information in that vast sea of data.
This is where archives management software comes into play. When your information is archived using a system, it is properly labeled and tagged to ensure that you can get quick access to all the info including digital content, photos, videos and so on with just a few clicks.
This form of records management software can benefits schools, museums, hospitals, financial institutes, government agencies and just about any organization that has to deal with a mountain of records year after year.
What’s the Best Archives Management Software?
If you are looking for efficient and reliable archives management system, then we would recommend the Eloquent Archives.

Good Night Captain Mama Book
Click to Purchase on Amazon
"Good Night Captain Mama [ISBN: 978-0-9834760-3-0] is a bilingual (English and Spanish) children's picture book created for children between the ages of three and eight. The main character is a young boy in pajamas. As he passes by his mother's bedroom, he sees her in her olive-green Air Force-issued flight suit. The child is curious about the colorful patches on the uniform and asks questions as he pulls each one off. His mother's answers teach him, and young children everywhere, why women serve in uniform too.
The patches' symbolism helps aviator Mama explain what it means to serve in the U.S. Air Force and why she does it. This story, the first in a planned series, was inspired by a conversation between the author and her preschooler when he saw her in uniform."


Dwellings and landmarks were given names such as the ‘California of Wales’, the ‘Welsh Broken Hill’ and ‘Spain’. The ‘Welsh Potosi’ grew to be so important that it led to a significant change in the future of British metal mining in 1693.
Today, the industrial significance of these hills between Aberystwyth and Llangurig is largely forgotten and the name has long vanished from every map. It is hoped that this book will breathe new life and interest into the once-famous ‘Welsh Potosi’.
Ioan, a director of the Welsh Mines Preservation Trust and Cambrian Mines Trust, has spent many years researching the history and archaeology of metal mining in Central Wales.
His passion for this history, as well as his knowledge, is clear to see in his work, studying the rise and fall of mining, railways and society in and around the Plynlimon Mountains, with many amazing images taken during his authorised exploration of the mines.
This new title builds on the success of his first book published by the Vale of Rheidol Railway, ‘Rich Mountains of Lead’, of which the first print run completely sold out.
A formal book launch will take place on Saturday, October 21 at the Vale of Rheidol Railway, timed to coincide with the 1:30pm train arrival at Aberystwyth, where Ioan will be available to talk about his book, sign copies and answer questions.
The new book is available only from the railway. With the initial print run being limited in numbers and interest expected to be high, early ordering to avoid disappointment is recommended. See https://www.rheidolrailway.co.uk/shop/ for ordering information.

I have issues. Page turning issues.
What magazine pages are you turning these days? As for me, for starters, you can count on me reading just about every issue of GQ and Men's Health (mostly out of habit now). And if there's any issue you need to grab, it's September's. For fashion and lifestyle magazines, September issues introduce the fall season. You can count on the September issue to be filled with ads from all of the major brands with the looks and product trends for the inbound fall season. I would almost compare it to a roll out of the best Super Bowl commercials, just in print. Brands from Levi's and Gap to luxury brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton are showing you what to wear, what to buy it, and how to wear it. The one thing they neglected to do is give me the dollars to shop.
Beyond all the great ads, there are some good articles like pg.85 "Guide to Bespoke" in DEPARTURES magazine. The article highlight made-to-order suiting from Ermenegildo Zegna, Nike's Bespoke studio, and custom-made button down shirts (the perfect matchup for some luxury collar stays.)
I'm not vain, but don't mind if I do turn to pg. 96 to read "How to Be Vain: A Modern Man's Primer" in GQ. In pursuing my "ode to self-care" here are some good grooming tips to preserve my sexy.
In this digital age, don't mind if I do download a free digital issue of Men's Health magazine from the local library. Perks and benefits of a being a library card holder, a local tax payer, and a digital content subscriber.
Reading is fundamental, especially when learning the fundamentals of style. So what pages are you turning this month?

Garden of Eden, Jacobs Ladder, Josephs Coat.
If these sound like terms from Scripture, you are correct in thinking that, however they are also names for easy quilt patterns.
One of the most fascinating aspects about quilt collecting, study and history is discovering the association between quilts and the lives of the women who made them. We see the connection quite clearly by the names that quilt makers have given their quilt patterns.
It seems that every aspect of a woman’s life was honored with a quilt pattern name at one time or another. There are names signifying home and family life as well as names for the environment that the quilt maker lived in. Patterns can be found with names commemorating national and political events, religious beliefs, and even war heroes were not excluded from having a quilt pattern named after them.
Research done on the earliest quilt pattern names and where they originated, has not been overly successful. There are quilt names mentioned in old diaries or journals kept by the women who made quilts. However, the few diaries that do mention a quilt by name, usually fail to describe the quilt or give any hint to what the pattern looked like (much less any type of drawing), leaving us to guess the pattern that the quilter is writing about.
Quilt pattern names reflect all aspects of life. Biblical names reflect the belief and conviction of the importance of a spiritual life, while more down to earth names like Hole in the Barn Door, reflect the environment that the quilt maker lived in. Quilt pattern names that reflect political issues are proof that women were interested in these issues, and that they were knowledgeable of current social events. While their voices may not have been heard at the time, their voices speak out from their work and remain for us to see today. Following are examples of the names quilt makers have given their patterns.
Biblical and Spiritual names include Job’s Tears, Hosanna, Palm Leaf, Bethlehem Star, Cathedral Window, Cross and Crown, Crown of Thorns, and those already mentioned Garden of Eden, Jacobs Ladder, and Josephs Coat, among many others. It’s not known exactly how many quilt patterns and names are in existence today.
Certainly the present quilting revival that began in the 1970s (and is still going strong), with the great number of women and men teaching quiltmaking, writing books, and designing their own patterns will add greatly to the numbers. In addition, the new computer quilt design software, that enables the user to design blocks and quilts, will add significantly to the library of patterns available to today’s quilt maker. Looking back in 20 or more years it will be interesting to see what types of names quilt designers used during these years for their new easy quilt patterns.

How 50 Cent scored a half-billion
In “The Big Payback: The History of the Business of Hip-Hop,” author Dan Charnas traces how rap grew from its obscure roots in the ghettos of 1970s New York to its culmination as the world’s predominant youth pop culture and a multibillion-dollar industry.
The event that epitomized just how far hip-hop had come was the headline-grabbing partnership between the rapper 50 Cent and the upstart beverage company Glaceau, the maker of Vitaminwater. It may well have been the biggest deal in hip-hop history, propelling 50 Cent’s personal net worth toward a half-billion dollars. In this excerpt, Charnas outlines how it happened. Read More

Indian Journal of Paediatric Dermatology is entering a new era. With this issue of the journal, it joins hands with the veteran publisher, Medknow Publications and Media Pvt. Ltd. Wolters Kluwer Health Medical Research. It will give the journal a new look and direction, and in future, this journal will be an inseparable part of the reading of pediatric dermatologists all over the world. With the cooperation of our new partner, the Indian dermatologists will have a great opportunity to exchange views with their peers elsewhere. This will help the specialty grow beyond boundaries.
To mark this historic moment, this issue of IJPD has a symposium on a very important pediatric dermatosis, childhood psoriasis. This symposium will give an overall idea of childhood psoriasis so that better care may be given to the patients.
Collagen vascular diseases are always a challenge, more so in the pediatric age group. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is becoming more and more important. Since the disease has a lot of features on the skin, dermatologists are at an advantageous position to make an early definitive diagnosis. The continuing medical education feature will help us to brush up our understanding of SLE.
Vitiligo patients are suffering from stigmatization. The concept of pathogenesis is changing. In view point, a glimpse of new thoughts can be had.
Knowledge of pathology of disease is very important for proper understanding of any disease. From this issue onward, we are planning to serialize "Pathology for Dermatologists."
Obviously, original articles are lacking in this issue. In the coming issues, these gaps will be filled up.
The features like case reports and "How I manage" are there. This will form a good reading.
With these, we enter a new era of publication of IJPD.

America’s Editor, age 3
With apologies to librarians
Let children read to you.
Let children read in private.
Let children tear the pages of a book in their eagerness to read the story.
Let children drag a book around behind them by a center page as if it were a stuffed animal.
Let children paw the pages and rest their entire body weight on the spine.
Let children feel as if the book is an extension of themselves.
In a pilot program last year, Rochester got rid of overdue fees for children’s materials. The result was a “10 percent increase in library cards issued and more materials being checked out.” Imagine that.
The program is now permanent. “The idea is to remove barriers to reading. Young people no longer have to worry about losing library privileges because of overdue fees.”
Some might argue that there is a sense of responsibility being taught in late fees. However, kids are usually at the mercy of their caregivers for transportation. When a library book is returned is not up to the child.
My main happiness over this news is for the slower readers—the kids who are learning, improving, and savoring.
I hope more libraries follow suit. You can read the AP article here.
