"A sex columnist is a writer of a newspaper or magazine column about sex. Sex advice columns may take the form of essays or, more frequently, answers to questions posed by readers. Sex advice columns can usually be found in alt weekly newspapers, women's magazines, health or fitness magazines, and student newspapers. While some are written by trained sexologists, many are penned by people lacking credentials in human sexuality and relationships, yet willing to divulge their opinions or personal bedroom antics. The television series Sex and the City protagonist Carrie Bradshaw was a sex columnist, which author Candace Bushnell modeled after herself in her original non-fiction book based on a column of the same name. The show, which first aired in 1998, is credited with the increase of sex columnists found in college campus newspapers and blogs,Some pertinent articles in the media: * Patterson, Randall, "Students of Virginity", New York Times Magazine, March 30, 2008. Refers to Lena Chen's Harvard blog. "Perhaps no one at Harvard represents the hookup culture better than Lena Chen, a student sex blogger ... Chen's viewpoint, as she explained it to me, was not complicated. 'For me, being a strong woman means not being ashamed that I like to have sex,' she said. And 'to say that I have to care about every person I have sex with is an unreasonable expectation. It feels good! It feels good!'" * Hoover, Eric, "The New Sex Scribes: Female columnists spark interest and controversy at student newspapers", The Chronicle of Higher Education, June 14, 2002. * Rimer, Sara, "Sex and the College Newspaper; Student Columnists Explore a Familiar Campus Topic", The New York Times, October 4, 2002 * Harris, Paul, "Columnists lay bare sex and single student", The Observer (UK), Sunday, October 16, 2005. * Marklein, Mary Beth, "Sex is casual at college papers", USA Today, November 13, 2002 such as at Ivy League colleges and many other schools.Confer: * Cheng, Grayce Y., "RATED X for Mature Eyes Only : Campus sex chronicler has Harvard all hot and bothered", The Harvard Crimson, Wednesday, October 4, 2006. * Mancini, Liana, "Am-bi- valent: The Sun’s new sex columnist is in the house" , The Cornell Daily Sun, August 28, 2008 * Krinsky, Natalie, "No matter what it costs – Keep it neat, keep it clean, keep it real" , Yale Daily News, column Sex and the (Elm) City, Friday, April 12, 2002 One such columnist, Meghan Bainum,Stanford, Ian, "Not a typical school girl: Former sex columnist for the University Daily Kansan talks about what she has done" , University Daily Kansan, University of Kansas, Thursday, September 14, 2006. at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, placed in the 42nd annual William Randolph Hearst Foundation Journalism Awards Program (2001–2002) for her column.Eblen, Tom, "KU journalism students place in national writing competition", KU School of Journalism News, University Relations Office, University of Kansas, December 4, 2001. "Bainum's article Different Strokes for Different Folks appeared in the Nov. 30, 2000, issue of the University Daily Kansan. She discussed the causes of sexual attraction and fetishes and society's conception of sex." Anka Radakovich was the first of a new breed of sex columnists for whom "every detail of the writer's psyche is splayed across the page ... confessional journalism at its most intimate". Radakovich had written for the old Details magazine when it was a chronicle of downtown fashion and night life. After James Truman became editor-in-chief and transformed Details into a men's magazine, he offered Radakovich a column in September 1990. She became the first modern-day magazine sex columnist working for a mainstream men's publication.Walker, Nick, "Women and Men: All mouth and no trousers", The Independent, October 1, 1995. The popularity of sex columns waned after the 2000s, but they remain popular at some newspapers, such as The Student Life at the Claremont Colleges.

"The Hayle Estuary and Carrack Gladden SSSI is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, noted for its biological interest, in west Cornwall, England, UK. It consists of three distinct parts, each of which is covered in a separate article: the Hayle Estuary, the sand-dune system of Porth Kidney Sands and the coastal headland at Carrack Gladden. Geography Hayle Estuary and Carrack Gladden SSSI is on the southern shore of St Ives Bay and to the west of the town of Hayle. The estuary of the River Hayle is the most south-westerly in Britain and adjacient to important bird migration routes which cross the Land's End peninsula. Part of the estuary, at Ryan's Field and Carnsew Pool, is owned by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB). Two long distant footpaths transverse or are close to the boundary of the SSSI. The South West Coast Path follows the coast from Carrack Gladden to North Quay, Hayle, while St Michael’s Way also follows the coast at Carrack Gladden as far as Griggs Quay. The St Ives Bay Line also follows part of the boundary. Birdlife As the Hayle Estuary is the most south westerly in Britain it is important for wintering wildfowl, waders and gulls as well as for vagrants from North America. The most numerous ducks on the estuary are Eurasian teal and Eurasian wigeon, with a few gadwall and smaller numbers of common goldeneye and red-breasted mergansers. Waders in winter include some red knot, spotted redshank, common greenshank and common sandpiper among the more common species. Little egret are also present. In passage times the numbers of waders increase and North American vagrant species are recorded with some regularity, the most frequent being pectoral sandpiper, white-rumped sandpiper and long- billed dowitcher. =Industry= Hawke's Point Mine (also known as Wheal Fanny Adela) was in operation between 1851 and 1870, producing 670 tons of copper, 1 ton of ochre and some tin. The main workings were at Carrack Gladden and tunnels can still be seen from the beach. The workings at Hawke's Point was reopened in 1883, employing nineteen men. An old adit narrowly missed a copper lode and cobalt was also found. ″Mine materials, Machinery and Effects″ were sold by auction on 31 October, 1884. Lots included a long wood-built house with galvanised iron roof, horse-whim, portable forge, stone crusher, etc. References External links * English Nature SSSIs site * Summary and site details Category:Hayle Category:Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Cornwall Category:Sites of Special Scientific Interest notified in 1951 "
"Peter D. Adkison is an American game designer and businessman who is the founder and first CEO of Wizards of the Coast (1993–2001). During Adkison's tenure, Wizards of the Coast rose to the status of a major publisher in the hobby game industry. Wizards achieved success with its creation of Magic: the Gathering, which started the collectible card game genre. It also distributed the Pokémon trading cards, and later acquired TSR, publisher of the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, releasing a successful new edition. Adkison is the current owner of Gen Con, a major yearly game convention in the Midwest. In 1999, Adkison sold Wizards of the Coast to Hasbro, remaining with the company until January 2001. As a longtime fan of role-playing games (RPGs), Adkison has become an advocate for indie RPGs. His own game design work includes The Primal Order, a "capstone system" for use with any of a number of different role-playing games. Background As a child, Adkison enjoyed playing strategy games and war games, and in 1978, was exposed to Dungeons & Dragons, which "blew [him] away." His friend, Terry Campbell, suggested the idea of starting a game company to Adkison and his friends using the name "Wizards of the Coast", based on a guild of which one of their player characters was a member. In the early 1980s, Adkison self-published a wargame for fantasy role- playing games called Castles & Conquest, using the "Wizards of the Coast" brand. In 1981, he created a Dungeons & Dragons campaign titled Chaldea, which he continues to run today. As of 2002, Adkison was running two Dungeons & Dragons campaigns and playing in three. He enjoys a wide variety of games including Magic: the Gathering, Twitch, The Settlers of Catan, Robo Rally, Call of Cthulhu, Vampire: The Masquerade, and the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game. While working at Hidden City Games, his public biography from 2005 claimed that he was married to Melissa Reis Adkison. In 2014, Adkison married Dee Fenton.State of Colorado marriage license No. 2014-1619 Career Adkison received a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from Walla Walla College in 1985. He also has a MBA degree from the University of Washington. From 1985 to 1991, he worked as a systems analyst for Boeing. While working for Boeing, he became involved in the founding of Wizards of the Coast. Adkison suggested to his friend, Ken McGlothlen, that they start a company, and Wizards of the Coast was soon founded on May 23, 1990. The company began working on its first project – Adkison's own The Primal Order – immediately, although it was not released until April 1992. Adkison asked game designer Richard Garfield to develop a game that would be cheaper to produce than Garfield's proposed board game RoboRally; Garfield developed his idea to combine baseball cards with a card game into what would eventually become Magic: The Gathering (1993). With that game's success, Adkison began working full-time for Wizards of the Coast. As TSR was facing financial insolvency, Ryan Dancey of Five Rings Publishing Group brokered a deal for the purchase of TSR and then brought it to Adkison; Wizards of the Coast announced their purchase of TSR on April 10, 1997. Adkison paid about US$30 million for TSR, including payment of debts, and bought Five Rings Publishing as part of the deal. Adkison appointed Mary Kirchoff to manage TSR's book publishing division, and Bill Slavicsek the head of RPG research and development; he also made Lisa Stevens the brand manager for the RPGA and Greyhawk, and put Ryan Dancey in charge of TSR's business and marketing concerns. He improved TSR's relationship with Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson by making favorable financial and legal arrangements with them. Adkison also restored the company's relationship with Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman, and R.A. Salvatore. Adkison was planning a third edition of Dungeons & Dragons even during the TSR acquisition, and put Bill Slavicsek in charge of the design team, later naming Jonathan Tweet the new leader of the third edition project. Adkison was an old friend of Christian Moore from Last Unicorn Games, and when that company was having its own financial troubles, Wizards of the Coast purchased it in July 2000. Peter Adkison at Origins Game Fair 2003 Hasbro purchased Wizards of the Coast in 1999. Adkison began working on a Dungeons & Dragons MMORPG based on a design from Richard Garfield and Skaff Elias. According to game designer Ed Stark, Adkison said, "Look, computer gaming is the future of roleplaying. We've got to get involved in this." However, Hasbro folded up the D&D; computer rights into Hasbro Interactive and then sold them to Infogrames, leaving Wizards with no rights to publish D&D; computer games; Adkison thus tendered his resignation, effective December 31, 2000. In January 2001, Adkison sold Wizards of the Coast to Hasbro and entered "semi-retirement", engaging in rock-climbing and "lying around". In May 2002, Adkison purchased Gen Con from Hasbro, which he had been attending since 1992. Adkison claims to have "always loved" Gen Con. As of 2005, Adkison is the CEO of Hidden City Games, publishers of the Bella Sara collectible card game for girls. As of 2013, he has started a production company known as Hostile Work Environment LLC. Accolades In 1999, Pyramid magazine named Peter Adkison as one of The Millennium's Most Influential Persons "at least in the realm of adventure gaming".
