Halloween Humor

It's the time of the year to love monsters and killers and to crack jokes about their victims. Tell them to kindly get it all out of their systems by tomorrow.

Thankless Effort

As I plod through the last stages of my online work I reflect on how little of it I was able to share in person over the last six years. At fault is a greedy, dishonest presence in the music business and, perhaps more insidiously, a commonly overlooked flaw in our culture: the pursuit of instant gratification. Fast food is the most common example of how this want is answered by our capitalist economy. I think it creates a mindset of spoiled consumers, the worst of whom expect stardom to be handed to them instantly. The business approach has only been to answer these consumer needs, not to question them. As long as people need instant stardom, business will try to sell it to them. As for the talent, well, I'm the talent.

To Jay Leno of the Tonight Show

Well, you seem to think it's just hilarious when I accuse you of being a gangster, but I heard about those Jay Leno cops. That's right, Jay Leno cops. Who are the Jay Leno cops, Jay? That sounds like your hired hands dressed up in the uniform of police officers. Who else impersonates police officers, Jay? The most famous example is Al Capone for the execution of his Valentine's Day Massacre in the 1920's. And Jay, a malicious program invaded my little corner store computer a couple weeks ago and scooped all the files off my memory stick. It renamed my files with the letter 'j'. Since you are such a stupid, self obsessed individual, I have a strong feeling that that 'j' stood for Jay Leno. Am I right?

Not Again

I'm getting tired of hearing these jerky performers say that they made me great by stealing my work. What did they do to my work but erase my name and face from it and supplant them with their own? Ask anyone who doesn't watch TV about my scripts and they will tell you that they are very enjoyable. On another note I would like to complain about the misuse of penetrating cross examinations to determine copyright ownership. Why were these not applied to the bands and actors who stole my work six years ago? They let these people commit fraud for six years and then they cross examine the victim. What good is a good system if it is administered by corrupt people?

Unforgotten

The sketches I'm surest of sharing in 2007 are the ones I saw as YouTube clips of television programs years later. I saw all of the Saturday Night Live ones in one sitting. I recall seeing a lot of sketches that were made out of my commercials. As a viewer who at the time had no conscious memory of having created was he was watching, I enjoyed them. But they didn't make me laugh. There was an eerie suspicion holding me back. George Carlin, on the other hand, had me completely fooled, for I had even less of a memory of the earlier erased work he took from me than I did of the erased show whose commercials Saturday Night Live took from me. I laughed out loud for Carlin's HBO specials and I praised the comedian online, right up to his demise. With Carlin out of the picture, I need only explain how I can still call my work original after seeing it on Saturday Night Live as one who did not remember authoring it. This is quite simple: I forgot seeing it on Saturday Night Live. By the time I got around to rewriting those sketches, my mind was simply reaching for them from their original source. I had a roughly similar experience with my songs. I don't listen to the radio at home so I forgot hearing them on the radio outside of my home as I rewrote them from my personal life. It took the reconstruction of each of my original works to recover the memory of seeing it on TV or hearing it on the radio after I voluntarily departed from the internet in late 2007.

How Generous

I heard that the only one of my precious new songs which wasn't taken from me was Rules. I think I know why. Rules starts out with an admission of guilt: I might not be acting responsibly. Of course, I was only talking about things like leaving my bed unmade or perhaps mismanaging my money, but I did not elaborate any further on it. And the last thing people who steal songs want to do is to admit any sort of guilt. Instead they try to pin that on their victims.

All He Wants Is Money

I heard that they were saying all he wants is money. Dear God in Heaven, am I ever up against some stupid hypocrites in this struggle. So this is their latest comeback, is it? Very well, I might as well defend myself against their horrible accusations. 1) I worked to produce my material. How do we pay people for work? By their reasoning we should all quit our jobs because we are only in them for the money. 2) This statement makes money sound like some kind of triviality. If money is so unimportant, why don't they just hand it over to me? I guess I'm not the only one who wants it. 3) This statement is meant to erode my fan base. I would remind my fans that I walked away from my music and laughs six years ago without expecting to receive a cent. Since then I have been forced back online by the copyright nightmare imposed on me by those who stole my work. Now that I am a high profile person, a certain amount of money is needed to insulate me from the more unruly elements of the population. 4) In a money culture like ours, people respect the rich and despise the poor. For seven years people have been pointing to me in the street and saying if he's so great, why is he on the street? Money would get me off the street. 5) For seven years I have been called a liar for sharing my own thoughts and my own experiences in my own words. I deserve compensation for these deep personal injuries. The traditional form of compensation is a cheque.

Note on Indexes

My indexes are far from complete. There are more comedy scripts to add to my indexes and I plan to make an index of all my personal and legal statements, as well. As I said I let my new creative ideas fill my notebook for now. Perhaps one day in the future it will be safe to share them with these online posts.

No More Erasing

Last night I was thinking about how any grammy awards won by bands who stole my songs are worthless. And I was thinking about how any Peabody awards won by news programs who tried to frame me are equally worthless. And it reminded me of a sketch I wrote this year called 'The Institutional Awards' which was also a parody of the 1973 Academy Awards in which Marlon Brando allowed a pretty native woman in full costume to accept his award for him by proxy. I was thinking of how much that sketch expresses my heart on the subject of awards and I went looking for it in my blogs. I looked and looked and looked for hours but could not find it. So I wonder what happened to it. Looks like I will have to restore it to what I guess to be its original location. I no longer erase my work, even when I am in error. All of the scripts in my index were online when I listed them and they should still be online. My notebook is filling up with fresh new humorous insights which I no longer share online. At least when I leave them offline I only have to write them once. If this sketch is still online somewhere and I missed it, I apologize for the implications I am making here. If, however, it has been removed by some tampering hand, perhaps it was the same hand that added false publishing information to my YouTube videos earlier this year. AMENDMENT: I have just found the missing sketch in E.M. Forced Her. Even though I was wrong to suggest that it had been removed by someone else, I am leaving this blog online.

Worth Repeating

How to Detect Fraud I'm going to gamble that there is still old work out there waiting to be exposed as fraud when I rewrite it here, so I'm going to talk about obvious signs of fraud. Chronology: Whomever shared the work first is the author. If I had access to that original blog, I could sue because the dates would show that I wrote it all first. But isn't the human memory capable of remembering who shared the work first without any visual aid? I hope so. Disputes: Individuals versus Groups It is unlikely that someone would steal his work from hundreds of others. Furthermore, it is unlikely that hundreds of others would all share the same copyright dispute with just one person. If their work was good enough to steal, it would have been stolen by many others, not just the same guy every time. Disputes: Amateurs versus Professionals Professionals are under pressure to produce new material, while amateurs may work at their own pace. Professionals need new material to stay employed, but amateurs work for free. Therefore, in disputes between professionals and amateurs over copyright ownership, the professional is more likely to be the violator. With respect to my personal situation, I am unemployed and use my writing and music to stay active. Stealing my work from others would only reduce my activity. Disputes: Volume of Work 'He wrote those hundred and fifty songs but he stole this from me!'? Don't let them insult your intelligence. Disputes: Coveting An artist doesn't covet his own work. A song featured proudly on the front of a fraud's web page might be buried deep and gathering dust in the author's collection. People steal songs to show off with them. Disputes: Individual Experience An original artist's work is usually descriptive of his individual experience. It's a sure way of guaranteeing originality. What kind of lives did the performers have? Did their material match up with their individual experiences? For people who've used my work, were they lonely and isolated? Were they depressed and suicidal? Were they poor and rejected? Did they have to work in menial jobs? Prior Convictions: People caught committing fraud can no longer be trusted, no matter how popular they were. New Work: An artist is usually consistent in style and quality. If anyone doubts that I am the author of my old work, they should compare it to my new work. I think they'll find that any new laughs I've produced are as effective as anything I wrote in the past and that my new songs compare favourably with my old songs. But look at what happened to Saturday Night Live in mid 2010 when they couldn't help themselves to my writing any more. I don't watch the show but a woman walked by me at the time and said 'Their show sucks without you.' I gather what she meant. And I think I may have already heard what that band from last year sounded like in 2010 without my songs. (Did they use those tiny solid state amps?) Absolutely atrocious. Labour Hours: Creating original work is time consuming. If someone has a lot of material, he should be spending a lot of time working. Otherwise, he's probably a fraud.

Quitting While I'm Ahead

I've decided to stop sharing new creative works on Google and YouTube. All it does is add to the workload of the lawyers as my new work is stolen by others and turned into fraud along with all the work I've already posted. I recall the the HTML frame set I used for my index in 2007. I won't bother with that this time. I won't post my short stories or poems. You already know them from the jerks who took them after I erased them. And my funny resume has made its rounds, too, I understand, from people who took my real experience and turned it all into meaningless gags. One more note to my lawyers: I recall now that my original Blogger account was established in 1999 or 2000. It was while studying web design in 2000 that I first showed my aptitude for script writing - in both English and HTML/JavaScript. So you can watch those clean cut cutthroats pretending to be decent at my expense until this legal matter is all ironed out. I'm through sharing my hard work just to see it end up in the hands of people like Taylor and the Crystalids.

Good Excuses

To date I've not authorized my work or my image to be used anywhere outside my one YouTube account or my one Google account. I have not authorized my work or image to be peddled by relatives. To date I've received no compensation for works of mine which were used commercially. I've never been arrested or incarcerated. I think all these accusations of crack smoking are silly and irrelevant. Why do I live among drug addicts? Because I'm poor. Neighbourhood addicts keep the rent low for me. I am a single man with no dependents, so I don't have to feel guilty about imposing this world on my children. But even if I were a crackhead, I wouldn't want to live in this area. Probably none of the addicts want to live here either. Smoking their crack is the most rewarding for them when they can do it somewhere clean and respectable - like the fine hotels where the Crystalids and other bands who stole my songs were accommodated while they committed fraud for big music labels. And even if I were a crackhead, don't a lot of popular musicians and artists have drug problems? Why doesn't anyone around here talk about their habits anymore? I never wanted to be so high profile because it makes life very uncomfortable. It puts you at the mercy of the business who are the only ones capable of getting you off the street and housing you somewhere private. I don't want to be at the mercy of a business which steals my work and turns it into fraud. And being poor is hard enough without being famous on top of it. Think about it. I can't apply for a normal job now. I stand out too much. I can't look for another home. Landlords will anticipate disturbances from strangers on my account - like the ones my fellow tenants experienced from strangers who passed my apartment between 2008 and 2010 and yelled insults at my window. So you see, as a high profile person with no money, I just cause problems for quiet, ordinary people. That leaves only one housing option for me: the one I am currently exercising.

Uncommon Malice

I do not actually hate the ones with whom I am forced to reside as I wait for justice. I have spent the better part of my life among the poor and the downtrodden and I feel enormous sympathy for them. As much as they might offend me at times, I still think more highly of street people than I do of any star who took my work and used it against me for their personal gain. One SNL sketch I caught on a YouTube clip after I erased it from the web was Silent Night on the Western Front. This has a piece of the book, All Quiet on the Western Front, in it, but it also has a piece of something far more personal: my father's combat experience. When I was a lad, I found a jar of army medals in the basement: iron crosses and so forth. It was stuffed to the top. My father was just a lad himself when he joined the army in 1943, and I gathered how he came into possession of all these medals. And when I tried to dedicate a poem to my father's combat service in '09, apparently the SNL gang who used this sketch were the first to malign this heartfelt work. Are you beginning to see why I didn't miss anything by not being able to 'party' with these monsters? You may find this sketch and many others to which the SNL cast helped themselves at my great personal expense in my continually growing script index.

More of the Same

To date I've not authorized my work or my image to be used anywhere outside my one YouTube account or my one Google account. I have not authorized my work or image to be peddled by relatives. To date I've received no compensation for works of mine which were used commercially. I've never been arrested or incarcerated. I'm still here and I will continue to be here until I have been paid for the mountains of work stolen from me by the industry since 2007. Until I have been paid I will be living a marginal life among the 'have nots'. I offered to pay my legal team out of my expected income tax return but they declined it. As far as I know, they have been working 'pro bono', which will, of course, secure a very generous payout for us in the end if there is any justice in the world at all. Copyright disputes take a very long time to resolve because the offenders erect legal barriers around the property they steal. Undoing these barriers is like pulling down a wall one brick at a time, or so I have been told. I have decided to just take a deep breath and accept that I may be in this position for a long time to come. I hope it isn't too much to ask my followers to do the same.

Facing My Reality

I am a man approaching middle age now and I really wish I had never shared anything online to cause so much turbulence to my life. My love and my truth has been answered by over six years of lies and false accusations broadcast against me by the most trusted faces on TV. Though I have never been incarcerated or arrested, it has been utterly miserable for me. It should be clear to anyone who can clear the televised fog from their head for a minute that the entertainment business is phony-baloney. That's how people like it. They use television to escape reality, not to face it. It turns out that the ultimate escape from your reality is my reality. That's why they needed all my songs and my scripts so badly in 2007 and they needed to deal with me so brutally. But I have no choice but to face reality and I think it's quite unfair that this has put so much money into other pockets and left me arguing with strangers over my ownership of merely one of my two hundred songs. I think that if a man can spend six or seven years online sharing his every thought and he still can't convince the world of his identity, the world is in more trouble than he is. And for starters, my reality is about being almost forty-eight. I know you're being nice by giving me hints on how to stay youthful looking, but I'm not interested in tricking anyone into thinking I'm younger than my age. I'm far from my youth. I'm letting it all hang out here. If I go grey and my teeth start falling out, well, it happens to the best of us sooner or later.

I would again like to thank readers who use my indexes to bump frauds off of the internet. I hear that this has made the entries I left out vulnerable.

I Don't Want to Be Oasis

I get a sense of how irresponsibly the corporate media has covered the massive theft of my songs and blogs by conversations such as the one I had with a friend outside the drop-in this morning. We got to talking about my work and he asked me which popular bands stole my erased songs six years ago. Off the top of my head I mentioned Oasis, who stole Fortune. In response he said, Oasis stole from you? He sounded unconvinced so I didn't bother to tell him about the Rolling Stones stealing Nothing but Ashes from me. So how about it, media? Why hasn't every last person in Vancouver been informed of this crime against me yet after three years of it coming to public light? Why do you leave me to walk the street and look like the crazy one? Don't you think I went through enough at the hands of those bands when they stole my songs? Why do you still want me to suffer now? And why do you hold it against me if I lose my temper about this kind of treatment? Were you insulted by some of the things I said? How insulted do you think I might be after six years of this brutality with my work? Six years of hideous lies to clear the way for ugly fraud committed with my most personal works! And on top of that I was accused for the second time of not knowing how to use a bathroom last night by someone who isn't even supposed to be living in my building. How would you handle the kind of insults you let them dish out to me? How many years does it take for you to spread the truth about me? Why don't you help me when I'm right? Did you have a hand in the crime? If so, why are you still in front of a camera, influencing the population against me?

Betrayal Hurts

I had a sensitive artist friend living with me about thirteen years ago and he hung himself. I found the body. The day before he died he told me I was going to be a great writer. Then he told me that artists were noble and had the privilege of killing themselves. He told me I should kill myself when I got famous. I just thought he was talking crazy. When I consider this man's frame of mind near the time of his death, I recall that he felt deeply betrayed. Betrayal really hurts, especially from a lover. Yes, betrayal really fucking hurts, especially when it goes on and on and on and on for years and years with everyone just laughing and partying about it. So maybe I should start taking his advice seriously.

Plutocracy

To date I've not authorized my work or my image to be used anywhere outside my one YouTube account or my one Google account. I have not authorized my work or image to be peddled by relatives. To date I've received no compensation for works of mine which were used commercially. I've never been arrested or incarcerated. You know why most people's lives are more comfortable than mine has been? They go with the flow. But wouldn't art and music be boring if everyone went with the flow? Wouldn't it all sound identical? Wouldn't it leave you feeling unfulfilled, unchanged? When I listen to a song like my Business, I get an experience. You can feel my my anger and my desperation. It's the kind of listening experience that brings intellectual and aesthetic growth. The same may be true of my humour. As long as the reader has the correct context for it, they grow from reading it. The business doesn't seem to consider any of this. They just look at the numbers. Business did well when I posted it under the title of Psych, so they wanted to turn those views into dollars. Every time they overlook my substance and my motives for cash, they betray me. Any fool could hand them a finished song. It takes an artist to create it. And I'm getting mighty sick of all the money and credit for my work going to a bunch of heartless frauds because once that payment is gone, it is obvious to me after six and a half years of this unbearable life that I won't get it back. And by the time I might get it back, if they haven't committed a thousand more frauds with my songs and laughs in the meantime, I've been so soured on all humanity, I don't even want to sing and play. These crowds lining up to see my enemies rip me off make me want to puke. And they were still doing it just a few short months ago. Look at me. It's been three and half years since I rewrote a song that apparently earned millions. Am I a millionaire now? No. I may have to wait in a flophouse for the rest of my life before I can see a dime of that money. And in the meantime, as I create new work, fucking Taylor steals that and adds more work for my lawyers. Are we sure this is a democracy we're living in? Seems to me these business people are making us all suffer by stealing from me to make fools out of the population and everyone seems to accept it. You sure it's not a plutocracy? Do you like that line in that song about being a slave to money? I hate it. Makes slavery sound glorious or something, with those strings in the background. If my money were cut off, I would stay just as I am and simply starve to death. Maybe I'd move to the woods and let some animal finish me off. Better than being a slave to money. And these comedy creeps really have me depressed. They need to interfere with my music because they stole a laugh from me six years ago. Gee, I'm so lucky I'm funny. I'm so lucky I'm talented. Yeah, I'm so lucky I get to have all my stuff stolen from me all the time and I never get to even play it for myself because someone else always says its theirs. It's just so great being talented and funny, now that I'm forty-seven and I can't afford to live anywhere but a notorious flophouse and I don't feel comfortable playing, singing, or even writing my songs any more. Some free country. You have an artist here who already wrote popular work and he's not free to play it because the establishment needed to steal it all. Yeah, that's some free country we got. Hey, let's go invade some other country so we can show them how free our banks and corporations will make them. We're so free. Yeah. Whoopie. My only regret is that I did not feel this uncomfortable about writing and sharing my work to start out with. Then all these fraudulent fuckers could have tried their luck with their own lousy work and I might have been happy for five minutes out of the last seven years.

Daves that Shook the World

Last night I watched a library DVD called Days that Shook the World. It's a BBC documentary about defining historical events, very interesting. My favourite was the show they did about famous hoaxes. First they covered Orson Welles' 1938[?] broadcast of War of the Worlds, which drove many listeners into a panic, thinking that the world was being invaded by Martians. They deserved it for trusting a broadcasting network. That hoax ended favourably for Welles. Lucky for him, his broadcast included interruptions to explain that the invasion was not for real. The other hoax they talked about was Hitler's so-called diaries from 1983. Rupert Murdoch got all excited and bought them. Then when their authenticity appeared doubtful, it looks like he told the newspaper to go ahead and print the story anyway. The German author of this hoax went to prison for fraud. Has Murdoch ever been in prison for fraud? Maybe one day they'll do a program about all the fraud committed with my work over a seven year period, right up to Taylor's Canada Day concert here in July of this year. It would have to be much longer than one hour, though.

The Ultimate Hypocrisy

I said that it was important for me to rewrite my work from my life so that I know its source. Without context, it all turns into meaningless gags on NBC. Let's take the 'Party Animals' sketch. That came from living at the Mission in Ottawa. They had a lot of 'party animals' and it was sometimes a challenge for me to get any rest. But when you saw comfortable people who never stayed in a Mission performing it on TV, you all took it for a delightful poke at the poor which anyone could write. And one of my favourites, The 'Straight-blanket' was drawn from the experience of having to tuck my feet into the sleeves of my coat to keep them warm as I slept. They just thought I 'made it all up.' Didn't bother asking me about it, either, dirty fiends. Let's explore this some more. 'Anti-harp' came from being harassed on the bus. Those spoiled brats didn't ride the bus. 'Attitude Adjustment Squad' came from being underemployed. They have good jobs. 'The Cashier' came from being a cashier because no one on TV ever offered me anything for my music or laughs. 'The Counselor (Job)' came from being underemployed. 'The Dealer' was about how an artist never gets paid for his work. They used it at the same time as they withheld payment from me for writing it. 'Ears Wide Open' came from feeling like I had been gutted by a greedy business. They proved it when they stole it. 'Economics Made Simple' were observations which could only be made first hand from an experience like mine. They looked down their nose at me for living with the poor and then stole the sketch. Why do you suppose I ever had calling 911 on my mind, such as with 'Emergency Call Forwarding'? Read about the kind of night I had last night, one which they wanted to hold against me after they took the sketch it produced. The 'Fishbowl Smoker's Helmet' could only have been written by a smoker who felt discriminated against in the workplace. They held my smoking against me and took the sketch for themselves. 'Gentrification' is a local policy which needed someone to show how it looks from the point of view of the 'gentrified'. They are the kind of uptight people who imposed the policy but they wanted to pretend they could see my side of it by taking the sketch. 'The Hot Seat' was about how one good worker like myself often gets stuck doing everyone's job. They let me write that for them and then took all the money and credit for it. 'The Insomniac' is about how hard it is to sleep when everyone else takes your work and gets paid for it and they leave you to live in poverty. What were they doing with it? 'Jamie Jong: Outlaw Landlord' is about a real landlord. You need to be low on money to know about people like that. TV stars have lots of money. Did they take it anyway? And then they tell you I'm a bum because I'm poor. 'Job Lover's Club' was from being underemployed and having to go to a class to learn how to write a resume. What were they doing with it? Seems they were making my unemployment a whole lot harder. 'Middle Class Hero' was definitely the result of having a middle class background while stuck in a lower class environment. What were they doing with it? All of the 'Nightcast' scripts (and 'Top Stories' scripts) were intended to show how full of shit corporate news broadcasts have become. Apparently they were not as full of shit as the copyright claims of Saturday Night Live. 'North American Rebel (Idol?)' was my response to their initial taunts. I wanted to show them that I had more of a soul than they did for deciding my own future instead of selling it out. What were those industry pets doing with it? 'The Orphan Hater' was a thought I had on the long-term psychological effect of news broadcasts which target middle-class loyalty by attacking the poor. Did they use it? 'The Pay Toilet' came from being homeless and having to rely on public toilets. Were they homeless, too? 'Pestilence Anti-Pest Pellets' came from living in rundown accommodations. Where were they living when they took it? I must have dreamed up 'the Pilferer' as a result of witnessing the local trade in small, inexpensive items. You only get that knowledge from living in an impoverished community. Where have they been living? And they're better than me for stealing it, I suppose. 'The Police Police' was likely the direct result of having to incarcerate TV jerks for stealing my sketches in 2007, which opened a debate on the ultimate authority of law enforcement. Looks like the first thing they did when I erased my work and they were released was to steal it for themselves. How nice. 'Pottypants' is the kind of product you long for when you are homeless and need to use the bathroom. Again, have they ever been homeless? And why did they hold my homelessness against me? 'Primetime Polly' was a thought I had about how TV causes social problems for children in school by making some of them 'unhip'. As such it never should have been broadcast on TV by stars who made the author's life far worse than any 'unhip' child's. And 'The Rocket' was about how full of shit some music stars are. As such it should have stayed a work of writing. 'Running on Air' was a reference to my own resilient physique after decades of smoking. You needed to be me to write that sketch. Aren't they always putting me down for smoking? So why did they cash in the sketch it produced? 'The Saydist' could only have been imagined by a man who was cursed with girl fans he never meets in person. Sounds like they all met the prick who stole it, which let him tell them lies about me so they would all hate me for seven years. Isn't it hilarious? 'Screaming Pink' was another thought I had about the shallowness of televised glory. The last people who deserved any credit or money for it were the ones who stole it. 'Shortcut Guide' did not belong in the hands of a cast who took the shortcut of stealing it from my erased blogs on the internet. 'The Shot' wall syringe was another personal observation of my rundown accommodations, such as those they hold against me now. 'The Siren-Siren' quite naturally arose from living in an area with a lot of police sirens. Where were they living again? And they want you all to see them as my superiors when they steal the sketch because they have more money. 'Soundproof Suicide Prevention' is another personal experience turned into a script. TV stars don't call the Crisis Centre, they just steal a sketch about it written by their victim. 'Stark Raving Mad TV' is about how a woman who laughs by stealing an artist's work might cry. And 'Tuesday Night Long' is one of the sketches she stole. 'Vengisil Irritating Powder' came from working in the kind of job in which sketch stealing superstars are too weak and too arrogant to ever work. They like the sketch it produced, though. 'Wings for Welfare' was written by a man who must think about this issue a lot because he is often stuck on public assistance. The people who steal his work and leave him broke have no right to make money from it. My point is that much of their illegal content has been generated from my being forced to live the very life they daily criticize as being 'indecent' or some other unjust label. This is the ultimate hypocrisy. I'm sure there are many more examples of their hypocrisy. Why don't you explore the links below and find them for yourself?
