Who is Jill Scott? 20th Anniversary Tour
Show times may vary, Buy Tickets to pick times.
Three-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, New York Times best-selling poet, and critically acclaimed actor are only a few titles held by Jill Scott. Before having the #1 album in the country with "The Light of The Sun", performing at The White House, being named People Magazine's Top TV Breakout Star of 2010 and appearing on VH1 Divas alongside Aretha Franklin, the triple threat began her career collaborating with musical icons, The Roots, Will Smith, and Common in the late 90s. In 2000, she released her much anticipated debut record, Who is Jill Scott? Words & Sounds, Vol. 1, a double platinum album that earned Scott several Grammy nominations, including Best New Artist. Two more critically acclaimed albums followed, Beautifully Human: Words & Sounds, Vol. 2 and The Real Thing: Words & Sounds, Vol. 3 which garnered two more Grammy Awards and spawned multiple worldwide tours. Never limited to music, Jill Scott is a true multimedia brand across books, clothing, TV and film. Most recently, Jill starred in Get On Up: A James Brown Biopic, as DeeDee, the wife of James Brown. She also starred alongside Tyler Perry & Janet Jackson in the #1 national movie series Why Did I Get Married? (Pt. 1 and 2), Baggage Claim, Steel Magnolias and Sins of the Mother which aired on Lifetime and became the second-most watched premiere in the network's history. Jill was also casted as the lead character in the HBO/BBC mini-series filmed on location in Botswana, The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency, a Peabody Award-winning show directed by the late Oscar Award-winning director Anthony Minghella. In 2017, Jill Scott was casted as "Nayyirah Shariff" in the original Lifetime film Flint, a drama based on the Flint water crisis in Flint, Michigan – also starring Betsy Brandy, Marin Ireland and Queen Latifah. A consummate writer at heart, she penned The Moments, The Minutes, The Hours, a compilation of poems that instantly became a New York Times bestseller. Scott also developed an intimates line for Ashley Stewart and founded Blues Babe, a registered 501(c)3 foundation that has raised over hundreds of thousands dollars to support minority students pursuing college degrees. Jill released her highly anticipated 5th studio album WOMAN on July 24, 2015 which opened on the music charts at #1 giving Jill her 2nd consecutive number one album. In January of 2017, Jill Scott marked her brand's expansion into stationary, releasing an exclusive "Jill Scott" greeting card collection in partnership with Hallmark Mahogany. Jill Scott received a 2017 Grammy nomination in the "Best Traditional R&B Performance" category for her single, "Can't Wait." Jill's most recent endeavor – find her taking on the role of "Hazel" in the BET + remake of the 1996 romantic comedy, The First Wives Club.

How do you remember 菊花 ?
There are many species of chrysanthemum.
Chrysanthemums put forth flowers in autumn.
They raised five thousand chrysanthemums last year.
The gardener was nipping off the side shoots from his chrysanthemums.
The old man potted the chrysanthemum cuttings.
The chrysanthemums are in bloom; some are red and some yellow.
The cold weather had most deleterious consequences among the chrysanthemums.
Each mourner wore a black armband and a white paper chrysanthemum.
He walked to her and held out a small bouquet of wildflowers, black - eyed Susans.
She motioned towards rather than handed to her mistress a beautiful yellow chrysanthemum.

Twins 15, Rangers 2
One day after scraping together a late-inning rally from little more than a bunch of choppers and the Tigers' mistakes, the Twins' lineup welcomed Torii Hunter back from the disabled list and exploded for 15 runs against the Rangers. Luis Castillo and Jason Tyner combined to go 0-for-8, but the other seven starters amazingly went 18-for-31 (.581) with 15 RBIs and 14 runs scored.
It was good to see the Twins tee off on a soft-tossing rookie, because over the past few years guys like John Rheinecker have given them trouble far too often. It was also good to see the hitters keep pouring it on after the Rangers brought in hard-throwing right-hander Joaquin Benoit and tack on a couple extra runs against left-hander Ron Mahay.
Lost in the avalanche of runs is that Carlos Silva turned in an outstanding performance against one of the league's top offenses:
IP H R ER BB SO HR PIT
7.0 6 1 1 0 4 1 102
Silva attacked hitters by pounding strikes early and often, struck out more than three batters for just the fourth time all season, and reversed his recent trend of morphing into a fly-ball pitcher. Fourteen of Silva's 21 outs came via either strikeout or ground out, and by the time Mark Teixeira took him deep for a solo homer in the seventh inning it was already 15-0.
Given the inconsistency from Scott Baker and Boof Bonser, and Terry Ryan's apparent reluctance to bring up Matt Garza from Triple-A, it's unclear if Silva was close to losing his spot in the rotation prior to last night. Whatever the case, he's no longer in any danger of a demotion, and Ryan's decision to trade Kyle Lohse yesterday while not picking up a veteran starter is looking pretty good.
Here are some other notes I typed up while watching the Twins' 61st win of the year ...
After last night, I wonder how many Twins fans changed their mind about what a mistake it was for the Twins not to trade for Carlos Lee. Lee looked absolutely lost in left field, losing several battles with the Metrodome roof while showing off his Shannon Stewart-like throwing arm, and went 0-for-3 at the plate.
Lee is a fine (if overrated) hitter, but with Jason Kubel and Rondell White hobbled he'd have been forced into playing defense regularly on the Twins, which would be a disaster. Instead, the Twins stood pat and let Hunter returning from the DL be their addition at the trading deadline:
2004-2006 AVG OBP SLG AB/HR
Carlos Lee .285 .345 .514 17.7
Torii Hunter .272 .339 .462 23.5
In theory the Twins could have had both Hunter and Lee, but that scenario would have included either Lee's (and everyone else's) nightmare of him playing left field at the Metrodome or him starting over Kubel and White at designater hitter. All of which isn't to say that picking up Lee wouldn't have helped the offense, but rather that his impact specifically on the Twins down the stretch would have been somewhat limited.
Incidentally, Hunter went 3-for-5 with a homer, four RBIs, and three runs scored in his first game since July 15.
The Twins did make one trade yesterday, sending Lohse to the Reds for pitching prospect Zach Ward. I'm shocked that Lohse remained in Minnesota for this long considering the writing was on the wall for his exit since last season, and even more surprised that Ryan was still able to coax a quality prospect in return out of former assistant Wayne Krivsky.
Lohse isn't as bad as he looked before being yanked from the starting rotation earlier this season and actually pitched fairly well out of the bullpen, but with Matt Guerrier coming back from the DL this week and the rest of the bullpen thriving, the need for an effective mop-up man was trumped by adding another intriguing young arm to the farm system.
The deal further cements my belief that Krivsky leaving his job as Ryan's right-hand man is one of the best things that could have happened to the Twins. In fact, given what we now know about Krivsky's preference for washed up veterans and lopsided trades, I'm starting to reconsider exactly how much blame Ryan deserves for some of the team's more questionable moves over the past few years.
Not only do I approve of Ryan resisting the temptation to overpay for a guy like Lee or Alfonso Soriano, I think he deserves a lot of credit for cashing Lohse in for as much as he ended up getting. Plus, during his in-game interview with television announcers Dick Bremer and Bert Blyleven last night, I found Ryan to be his usual honest, level-headed, and intelligent self.
Ryan expressed a clear and reasoned rationale for both wanting to acquire a bit bat and ultimately backing off from available deals to do so. During his half-inning in the booth, I found myself nodding in agreement with something Ryan said more times than I have while listening to Bremer and Blyleven all year.
In terms of what type of prospect the Twins got in Ward, here's a look at his numbers this season in the Midwest League:
G GS ERA IP SO BB HR OAVG
20 18 2.29 114.0 95 37 2 .188
The good news is that those are outstanding numbers pretty much across the board, particularly the .188 opponent's batting average and two homers allowed in 114 innings. The bad news is that Ward is already 22 years old, which makes his dominating hitters at low Single-A significantly less impressive than it looks.
With that said, Ward was the Reds' third-round pick in last June's draft and Baseball America had the following to say about him earlier this season:
All season, the Gardner-Webb product has done a fantastic job of inducing ground balls, and that was the case yesterday as he struck out seven and walked one while recording 11 groundball outs to just three in the air. One the season, Ward has a 3.55 ground ball/fly ball ratio in 72 innings.
I'm hopeful that the Twins will push Ward a little more aggressively through the system, because there's no need for him to waste any more time in the low minors. At the very least he appears to have a good chance of becoming a quality reliever down the road and there's certainly enough potential there for a lot more. Not that they needed it, but the Twins' pitching depth just got even deeper.
FSN flashed an interesting graphic last night showing that Johan Santana and Francisco Liriano have combined to go 23-7 with a 2.57 ERA as starters, while the rest of the rotation is (or was, before Silva's outing) 22-29 with an ERA over 6.00. The graphic was intended to show how much of a dropoff there's been after Santana and Liriano, but I was surprised by the fact that the other starters have managed what is now a 23-29 record despite a six-something ERA.
Reports of the Twins' starting third baseman turning back into a pumpkin were greatly exaggerated, as the new-and-improved Nick Punto continued to be both new and improved by going 4-for-4 with a walk, three RBIs, and four runs scored. Punto is now hitting .320/.399/.423 in 81 games, which along with good defense and 11 steals makes him one of the five best third basemen in the league.
Who knew Josh Rabe could hit the ball that far?
Justin Morneau hit .239 last season and came into this year with a career batting average of .248 in 255 big-league games. He then batted just .208 in April and was hitting .236 when the Twins began their amazing 40-game stretch back on June 8. Since then he's been perhaps baseball's hottest hitter, and after going 3-for-4 last night now ranks sixth in the AL with a .321 batting average.
Joe Mauer went 2-for-5 to increase his MLB-leading average to .368, but at the rate Morneau is going he may not even be leading his own team by the end of the month. Morneau also ranks second in RBIs, fourth in total bases, seventh in homers and slugging percentage, and eighth in OPS. Oh, and he's also hitting .308 against southpaws and has a higher slugging percentage against them than against righties.

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions have an echo and so much space
And when you're out there, without care, yeah I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much
Does that make me crazy?
- Gnarls Barkley, "Crazy"
After two depressing losses to begin the series Friday and Saturday, Johan Santana couldn't throw strikes yesterday afternoon and the Twins were six outs away from being swept by the Tigers for the third time this season. Detroit starter Jeremy Bonderman was cruising along, putting up the following Santana-esque pitching line through seven innings:
7.0 1 0 0 1 8 0 86
Not only was Bonderman completely overpowering the Twins' lineup, allowing one measly hit while racking up eight strikeouts, he needed just 86 pitches to record 21 outs. He was about as good as I've seen a pitcher look this season, both in terms of dominance and efficiency, and the hitters simply looked like they had no chance against him.
And then suddenly the wheels came flying off. It's easy to look at the boxscore and determine that Bonderman imploded in the eighth inning, but that's not really the case. It's true that he fell apart, but as odd as this sounds, he continued to pitch well and gave up six runs through almost no fault of his own. Seriously.
With the Twins trailing 3-0, Justin Morneau came to the plate leading off the eighth inning and hit a chopper back up the middle. Bonderman got his glove on it, deflecting it to the right side of second base. Shortstop Carlos Guillen ranged into shallow center field to scoop it up on the run, but made an errant throw to first base that bounced into the dugout and moved Morneau up to second base.
Jason Kubel came off the bench to pinch-hit for Josh Rabe, hacking at the first pitch he saw and hitting a high chopper to first base. Chris Shelton came lumbering in to scoop it up and tag first, but had what can only be described as a Bill Buckner moment as the ball skipped under his glove and rolled half way down the right-field line. Morneau scored from second base, making it 3-1.
Mike Redmond stepped to the plate and also swung at Bonderman's first offering, this time sending a chopper to the other side of the infield. Third baseman Brandon Inge watched helplessly as the ball landed directly on the chalk about a foot behind third base and then made its way into the left-field corner. Brent Clevlen had trouble fielding it cleanly off the wall, allowing Kubel to score all the way from first base despite running like he'd stepped on a nail rounding second.
With the lead cut to one run and Redmond on second base, the Tigers brought the infield in expecting Jason Tyner to bunt. Instead, Tyner fouled off the first pitch he saw and then hit another chopper on the second pitch. This one went over Shelton's outstretched glove and into right field, with Magglio Ordonez picking it up cleanly and firing a strike back into the infield to keep Redmond at third base.
With runners on the corners, Jason Bartlett came to the plate and hit yet another chopper down the third-base line. The ball may have gone foul before getting to the base, but Inge fielded it and tried to tag Redmond, who successfully dove back into third base after thinking briefly about heading home. With the ball called fair, Redmond safe, and Bartlett hustling on the play, Inge had no options left and the Twins had the bases loaded.
And that's when things really got interesting.
After getting ahead of Luis Castillo, Bonderman came set for his 1-2 pitch and took his hand out of his glove, signaling for catcher Vance Wilson to cycle back through the signs again. Bonderman had been doing that quite a bit throughout the game, but this time he forgot to take his foot off the pitching rubber and was called for the game-tying (and surprisingly obvious) balk as the Metrodome exploded.
As Redmond trotted home from third base with Tyner and Bartlett each moving up a base, Bonderman understandably lost it briefly, gesturing wildly and yelling at multiple umpires while his eyes appeared ready to pop out of his head. Two pitches later, after resuming the Castillo at-bat, he exaggeratedly stepped off the mound before making the same hand motion to Wilson.
One pitch after that, with the infield drawn in, Castillo slapped a grounder up the middle that Guillen made a diving stop on before throwing to first base for the first out of the inning. Tyner scored from third on the play, giving the Twins their first lead of the game at 4-3. Nick Punto briefly ended the excitement with a harmless fly out to left field, but things quickly picked up steam again.
With first base open and two outs, the Tigers did like so many teams have done over the past month and intentionally walked Joe Mauer to face Michael Cuddyer. The ninth batter of the inning, Cuddyer poked Bonderman's 1-2 pitch--his 116th of the game and 30th of the inning--into the right-center field gap, slicing through Curtis Granderson and Ordonez and skipping all the way to the wall.
Bartlett scored from second, Mauer scored from first, and Cuddyer ended up on third with a two-run triple that pushed the score to 6-3. With six runs already on the board and Morneau stepping to the plate for the second time in the inning, manager Jim Leyland mercifully lifted Bonderman in favor of left-hander Jamie Walker, who struck Morneau out to end what was without question the strangest, craziest, most bizarre half-inning I've ever seen.
- Infield Single
- Error
- Double
- Balk
- Ground Out
- Fly Out
- Intentional Walk
- Triple
- Strikeout
It's impossible to understand how truly ridiculous nearly each thing that took place during the inning was without having seen it first hand, but the fact that the Twins scored six runs while hitting exactly one ball legitimately well is a pretty good indication of Bonderman's misery. They essentially put together a six-run rally on five choppers, a ground ball, an intentional walk, and a two-out triple.
It was only one win and the Twins still lost a series at home, but scraping together an inexplicable come-from-behind victory after seemingly having the game lost is somehow infinitely better than being spanked yet again by the Tigers. Plus, with Chicago coughing up a late-inning lead of their own while losing to Baltimore yesterday, the Twins went from looking like they'd depressingly be three games behind the White Sox just days after sweeping them to being one game back.
Of course, the White Sox may not be the Twins' biggest problem any longer:
WILD CARD W L WIN% GB
New York 61 41 .598 ---
Chicago 61 42 .592 0.5
Minnesota 60 43 .583 1.5
Toronto 57 48 .543 5.5
That's right, the Twins are now chasing the Yankees for a playoff spot.
And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice
That's my only advice
Come on now, who do you
Who do you, who do you, who do you think you are?
Ha ha ha, bless your soul
You really think you're in control?
Well, I think you're crazy
TRADE DEADLINE UPDATE: The Twins have traded Kyle Lohse to the Reds for Single-A pitching prospect Zach Ward. I'll have a lot more on this (and any other moves the Twins make) tomorrow, but my initial reaction is that Terry Ryan did very well here hooking up with former assistant Wayne Krivsky.
A third-round pick in 2005, Ward is 7-0 with a 2.29 ERA, 95-to-37 strikeout-to-walk ratio, and .188 opponent's batting average in 114 innings at low Single-A. The Twins don't exactly need more young pitching, but Ward is exactly the sort of low-minors prospect Ryan thrives on plucking from other organizations.
Matt Garza and Other Twins Notes
Baseball America does a weekly feature called "Scout's View" where they interview a major-league scout about a specific prospect. The articles are subscriber-only content, but here's a small excerpt of "a veteran National League scout" on this week's subject, Matt Garza:
The impressive thing was, in his last inning ... he was throwing as high as 97. So he lost nothing at all velocity-wise later in the game. When he needed something at the end, he had it. And then, it wasn't like a one-time thing. He repeated some 97s, which was really nice to see.
Of his breaking pitches, even though they might end up with the same grade, the curveball was a better pitch than the slider, but they were both good. So what it tells you about a kid like that is that he's got three plus pitches, and the other pitch ain't bad.
I get excited when I'm looking at some highly touted kid, and you're hoping that he can duplicate what you've heard, and he certainly did. He was really impressive.
Garza is suddenly a hot topic because of his continued dominance in the minors and the upcoming trading deadline, but I don't believe for a second that Terry Ryan would even consider trading Garza for half-year rentals like Alfonso Soriano or Carlos Lee. Or at least I hope that's his stance, because history has shown that contending teams tend to overpay for midseason acquisitions and the impact of such players is relatively limited.
Quite simply, Garza is not the type of prospect you trade away, period. He's a former first-round pick who has emerged as one of baseball's truly elite prospects in just his second pro season and is one step away from the majors at the age of 22. Check out Garza's eye-popping numbers between Single-A, Double-A, and Triple-A so far this year:
GS W L ERA IP SO BB OAVG
21 13 4 2.04 123.2 142 30 .178
The Twins have pushed Garza aggressively and he's responded by dominating each level, posting ERAs of 1.42, 2.51, and 2.05 while holding opponents to batting averages of .169, .190, and .162. His combined record of 13-4 with a 2.04 ERA and 142-to-30 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 123.2 innings is amazing, and includes a 2.05 ERA and 21-to-5 strikeout-to-walk ratio in three starts at Triple-A.
Allowing just 79 hits in 123.2 innings is a huge part of what makes Garza a great prospect, and of particular note is that he's served up only six homers. Even more so than win-loss records or ERAs, the three things to focus on when it comes to pitching prospects are strikeouts, walks, and homers. Garza is about as good as it gets in all three of those areas, which is why he has legit ace potential.
In Johan Santana and Francisco Liriano, the Twins have arguably the two best pitchers in baseball and boast a one-two punch that few teams in the history of the sport can match. As if that weren't scary enough for the rest of the league, the Twins will soon add a third "No. 1 starter" in Garza. In fact, if Ron Gardenhire has his way, the rotation may contain three aces within weeks.
I think the best thing for Garza's development would be to remain at Triple-A until September, following the path Liriano took last year. Garza has thrown a lot of innings already and is coming off a complete-game, three-hitter that saw him inexplicably throw 127 pitches. With that said, if the Twins feel Garza is ready and calling him up would keep them from overpaying for a veteran starter via trade, I'm all for it.
Garza is the real deal, and if this season has taught the Twins anything it should be that trusting the young players you've developed is crucial. Plus, the sooner Garza establishes himself as a dominant starter in the majors, the sooner I can start using my poker-related nickname: Trip Aces. The best part, of course, is that both Liriano and Garza are 22 years old and Santana is the elder statesman at 27.
Some other notes I typed up while anxiously waiting for this weekend's series against the Tigers to begin ...
Not only do I think the Twins should avoid parting with Garza at all costs, I think they'd be best off being "sellers" rather than "buyers" between now and the trading deadline. That's obviously not what many Twins fans want to hear, but generally speaking I think giving up promising young players for 50 or 60 games of a veteran is a short-sighted mistake.
Prospects like Kevin Slowey or Glen Perkins are a clear step down from Garza, but giving up their entire career (or at least the six years before free agency) for 200 at-bats is a bad move, even if those at-bats come from an impact player like Soriano or Lee. Any number of studies have shown that the impact of midseason acquisitions is typically overstated and history is littered with teams who would gladly take back their prospects-for-veteran deadline deals.
It's certainly possible that Soriano or Lee would propel the Twins to the World Series, in which case giving up "too much" young talent becomes secondary to the third banner hanging in the Metrodome. However, that's impossible to know for sure and since we're only talking about one-third of a season, it's more likely that Soriano or Lee would represent a relatively minimal gain over Rondell White and Jason Kubel.
I would stand pat unless a favorable deal came along for someone like Boof Bonser or Kyle Lohse. Breaking the bank for someone like Soriano is more exciting and fans will always love trading for a big-name player while giving up little-known prospects, but those same big-name players were once "little-known prospects" to the average fan and this team as currently constructed does not need to mortgage any of its future to win now.
As part of the focus on Joe Mauer earlier this week, ESPN.com had a nine-part breakdown of his swing that is definitely worth looking at.
Over at Baseball Analysts, Rich Lederer interviewed Bert Blyleven on a variety of topics, including the should-be Hall of Famer's thoughts on the Twins' playoffs chances, the pitching staff's dominance, and why pitch counts are the devil's creation.
Reading the Chicago newspapers following the Twins' sweep of the White Sox was a lot of fun, but I still managed to become annoyed at this excerpt from the Chicago Sun-Times:
[The Twins] continued to show they might be the best "worst" team in baseball. Despite few household names, Minnesota has gone 34-8 since June 8 to catch the defending World Series champions.
The idea that the Twins have "few household names" is either absurd or a major mark against the media's coverage of teams outside New York, Los Angeles, Boston, and Chicago. Mauer is a former No. 1 overall pick who is leading baseball in batting average, Santana is a former Cy Young winner having another great year, Liriano is a rookie leading MLB with a sub-2.00 ERA after coming into the season as baseball's top pitching prospect, and all three of those guys were All-Stars.
The Twins used yesterday's off day to sign Mike Redmond to a two-year contract extension that includes a team option for 2009, which seems a little excessive for a 35-year-old backup catcher. Locking up a bench player through the age of 38 is the type of move that more often than not will end badly, although it can't be too much of a mistake assuming the deal is something close to the two-year contract worth $1.8 million Redmond initially signed with the Twins.
Redmond is a perfect backup for Mauer. He hits right-handed, which allows Gardenhire to give Mauer days off against tough left-handed pitchers while taking advantage of the platoon edge. Redmond is also solid defensively, both in terms of throwing and calling a game, and is reportedly well-liked in the clubhouse. I liked the move to sign him two years ago and I like the move to re-sign him now, I just wish the option year was 2008.
By weighing the age and performance of each player in baseball, my Hardball Times colleague Dave Studeman determined that the Twins are the second-youngest team in MLB behind only the rebuilt, prospect-laden Marlins.
Today's Minneapolis Star Tribune contains a great feature-length article by the Official Twins Beat Writer of AG.com, LaVelle E. Neal III, on a week in the life of Santana. It's a must-read.
I'll be back first thing Monday morning with a full recap of the three-game series against Detroit and discussion of what did or didn't happen on the trade front. In the meantime, feel free to hang out in the comments section, which has suddenly become a hot spot with over 350 posts in the past two days.
Tied! (Sort Of)
Late last month, with the Twins still 10 games out of a postseason spot despite winning 14 out of 16 games, I wrote about how depressing it was that they failed to make up any ground on the White Sox while winning nearly every day for three weeks. I simply didn't like the Twins' chances of making up a double-digit deficit against the defending champs in half a season.
Little did I know at the time that not only could the Twins do it, they'd do it within a month. The Twins improbably followed up winning 14 out of 16 by winning 20 of their next 26. Just as importantly, the White Sox finally went through a rough patch, dropping 10 out of 12 since the All-Star break. Here's how the Wild Card standings looked through June 7, compared to what they look like this morning:
JUNE 7 W L GB JULY 26 W L GB
Chicago 36 22 --- New York 59 40 ---
Boston 33 23 2.0 MINNESOTA 59 41 0.5
Toronto 33 25 3.0 Chicago 59 41 0.5
Cleveland 29 29 7.0 Toronto 56 45 4.0
Oakland 28 31 8.5 Los Angeles 52 49 8.0
Seattle 28 33 9.5 Oakland 52 49 8.0
Los Angeles 27 32 9.5 Texas 51 51 9.5
Baltimore 27 33 10.0 Seattle 49 52 11.0
MINNESOTA 25 33 11.0 Baltimore 46 56 14.5
After beginning the season at a lifeless 25-33 (.431), the Twins have gone 34-8 (.810) over the past 49 days. In doing so they went from 11 games out of a playoff spot to within a half-game of the Wild Card leaders, leap-frogging seven teams in the process. What's especially amazing about their run is that within those 42 games was a three-game losing streak that involved two losses to the lowly Royals.
(Much like the Twins since June 8, Carlos Silva had a hard time cooling off yesterday.)
Surrounding those three losses near the end of the first half, the Twins have gone an utterly ridiculous 34-5 (.872). Their climb up the standings has been so fast and so relentless that it's been hard to fully appreciate how good they've been. Fortunately, today's off day provides that opportunity. Unfortunately, there's a three-game series against the MLB-leading Tigers waiting Friday.
If only for dramatic purposes, it would have been nice of the Yankees to lose last night so the Twins sweeping the White Sox, in Chicago, would have meant something other than both teams being tied at a half-game behind New York. Of course, even that's not much of a buzz kill now, not with Francisco Liriano taking the mound Friday, Brad Radke following him Saturday, and Johan Santana up Sunday.
Those three pitchers were on the mound for exactly two-thirds of the Twins' amazing 42-game stretch, combining to go 20-2 with a 2.36 ERA in 28 starts. Over that same span, Joe Nathan appeared in half of the Twins' games, saving 14 wins with a 1.13 ERA and 36-to-4 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Setup men Juan Rincon, Jesse Crain, Dennys Reyes, and Pat Neshek combined for a 1.72 ERA in 62.2 innings over that stretch.
The pitching (and defense) has been fantastic, but the lineup has been as big a driving force behind the turnaround. The Twins hit .305 with a .372 on-base percentage and .465 slugging percentage over the past 42 games, which is incredible considering they were hitting a measly .268/.327/.396 prior to the run. While the Twins limited opponents to 3.4 runs per game since June 8, they've scored an average of 5.7 runs per game.
Much like Santana, Liriano, Radke, and Nathan carrying the pitching staff, Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau put the offense on their backs since June 8. Mauer hit .381/.475/.545 with 25 RBIs and 24 runs in 36 games, while Morneau made that look downright pedestrian by hitting .402/.434/.768 with 16 homers and 46 RBIs in 42 games.
(Justin went BOOM for the 16th time in 42 games to finish off the White Sox.)
Nick Punto set the table for them by hitting .333/.420/.442 and Jason Bartlett hit .336/.420/.459 at the bottom of the lineup, all while turning the infield defense from horrible to outstanding. Slotted between Mauer and Morneau, Michael Cuddyer hit .261/.351/.447 with six homers and 35 RBIs, while Rondell White returned from the dead to hit .288/.365/.519 with three homers and 11 RBIs in 16 games.
Even Torii Hunter (.274/.374/.453) was great before heading to the disabled list after 30 games, and Jason Tyner has taken up right where he left off by hitting .353/.389/.373 as his replacement in center field. Jason Kubel's bum knees have kept him on the bench more than anyone would like, but when in the lineup he hit .302 with six homers and 20 RBIs in 30 games.
Add it all up and you get a team that went from being out-scored by 42 runs in the first 58 games of the season to out-scoring their opponents by 97 runs in the next 42 games. It's no coincidence that the winning started almost immediately after Juan Castro and Tony Batista were let go, but as perhaps the world's biggest proponent of those moves, not even I expected them to lead to something like this.
What the Twins have done in winning 81 percent of their games over a quarter of a season is beyond remarkable and in doing so they've put themselves in position to potentially win the World Series in a year many--including myself at times--left them for dead. The long road ahead is evident by still having to look up at the Yankees (and sideways at the White Sox) in the standings, but it's tough to put much of anything past the Twins at this point.
With five off days left in the final two months, Santana, Liriano, and Radke may be able to start two-thirds of the remaining games and there are 11 dates with the Royals left on the schedule. The rest of the AL should be very afraid. Hell, if they do to the Tigers this weekend what they did to the White Sox in Chicago, the Twins will be just 5.5 games out of first place in the division.
("You guys see that train up ahead? You may want to get off the tracks.")
Twins 4, White Sox 3
Now this is fun.
One night Joe Mauer smacks his first career homer off a left-handed pitcher, a three-run bomb that propels the Twins to a 7-4 win. The next night Jason Bartlett delivers his first long ball of the season, another three-run shot that allows the Twins to hold on for a 4-3 victory. This afternoon I fully expect Jason Tyner to hit a game-winning grand slam.
I'm going to keep this entry relatively short, because by the time many of you read this today's game will have already been played. I'd feel silly going on and on about last night's win and what it means for the Twins' playoff chances, only to have Carlos Silva give the game back by the time some of you return from your lunch break.
Here are some notes I typed up while watching arguably the most exciting game of the season ...
The White Sox's battery last night is perhaps the worst in baseball at controlling the running game. Coming into the game, runners had gone 38-for-44 stealing bases off Jose Contreras over the past two years and a remarkably awful 31-for-32 off Sandy Alomar Jr. Given how vulnerable Chicago was to steals, the Contreras-Johan Santana matchup, and the Twins' speed-dominated lineup, I expected Ron Gardenhire to give just about everyone the green light.
That was the case right away, as both Luis Castillo and Nick Punto swiped second base during the first-inning rally that ultimately came up short. However, after that the Twins ran just once more on Contreras, with Tyner getting thrown out at second base in the fourth inning. In all, the Twins had six runners on first base with second base open in Contreras' seven innings--Tyner twice and Castillo, Punto, Michael Cuddyer, and Rondell White once each--and ran half the time.
Jim Thome's first-inning solo blast was extremely impressive, even with the wind in Chicago making nearly every fly ball a potential homer. Thome was behind 1-2 against the best southpaw in baseball, got fooled by a changeup to the point that he was completely out in front on his swing, and still managed to clear the fence in dead center field by a good 20 feet. In 138 career games against the Twins, Thome has now hit .325 with 46 homers and 106 RBIs.
Cuddyer showed off what other teams will soon learn is one of the best outfield arms in baseball, gunning down Tadahito Iguchi when he tried to go first-to-third on Thome's single in the sixth inning. Instead of having runners on the corners with one out and Paul Konerko at the plate in a tie game, Santana was able to pitch to Chicago's cleanup hitter with no one in scoring position and two down. Konerko grounded out to end the threat.
Cuddyer later showed off some leather in right field, making a sprawling grab on A.J. Pierzynski's broken-bat line drive with two runners on base in the bottom of the ninth. If he fails to make either of those plays, there's a very good chance the Twins lose the game. Cuddyer is still a little shaky at times in right field, but he makes enough outstanding plays to make me think he can develop into a major asset defensively.
The heavy winds blowing out to left and center field would normally have been very bad news for Santana, who is among the most extreme fly-ball pitchers around. However, while he did give up two homers, Santana limited the potential damage by uncharacteristically getting 10 of his 14 non-strikeout outs on the ground.
I normally disagree with the notion that people like me would benefit much from having interview access to players after games, but this is one of the rare instances where it would have been nice. I'd like to know whether or not Santana made a conscious effort to keep the ball on the ground because of the weather conditions (as opposed to it being due to coincidence or Chicago's powerful lineup).
Santana improved to 12-5, which ties him for second in MLB in wins. Santana also moved his career mark to 71-30, which is good for a .703 winning percentage that's tops among all pitchers with at least 100 decisions since Spud Chandler went 109-43 (.717) for the Yankees in the 1940s. Last but not least, Santana is now 3-0 since the All-Star break, which gives him the following combined second-half pitching line since moving into the rotation full time in 2003:

The School & Mass Education (S&ME) department issued the guidelines setting the rules for the teachers and schools for safety of the students, who are going on study-tour.
As the per the guidelines, the school authorities will be responsible if any untoward incident happens with any student during study tour. They will decide which place to visit as per the students' requirement and the syllabus. The school will provide identity card to the students for the study tour. A database will be prepared about detailed information of the students going on study tour. The students' parents name, address, mobile number, contact number and email will be mentioned in the database. A copy of the details will also be given to the student.
The students need to get permission from their parents for the study tour. It will be mandatory that a senior teacher will accompany the students for the study tour. An experienced woman teacher will visit with the girl students.
Similarly, the permission is required from the collector or the officer in that rank if the school will take the students on study tour to the places like dam, power plant and sea beach.
A local tour operator having knowledge about that area is must if the number of students is more than 10. The detailed information about the bus driver and conductor is mandatory for the schools. The school authorities will have to verify the documents of the bus including the license to ensure safety of the students.
The S&ME department has asked the schools to strictly follow the guidelines before taking the students on study tour to any place.

Q: wso2 apim IsAuthReqSigned has no effect Using WSO2AM 2.1.0 trying to configure SAML IdP using a file deployment. The issue is I am unable to make the SAML request signed (required by the IdP).
I assumed that the parameter IsAuthReqSigned should enable signing the SAML Request, but apparently it is not (HTTP-Redirect binding is used and there's no signature between the parameters)
having following IdP configuration (certificate and real names are blanked out):
<IdentityProvider>
<IdentityProviderName>oamidp</IdentityProviderName>
<DisplayName>oamidp</DisplayName>
<IdentityProviderDescription>Ext Access Manager</IdentityProviderDescription>
<Alias>oamidp</Alias>

Canadian Taylor Pendrith takes first-round lead at Panamá Championship

Korn Ferry Tour Communications
PANAMÁ CITY, Panamá — Taylor Pendrith carded a 7-under 63 to take the first-round lead at the Panamá Championship. Greyson Sigg sits alone in second after posting a 6-under 64 at the Club de Golf de Panamá. Grant Hirschman and Ryan Ruffels are two strokes off the lead after posting matching 65s on Thursday.
Pendrith began his round with a fast start carding birdies on three of his first four holes. The 28-year-old added three more birdies against one bogey to post a front nine 30. Despite making his second bogey of the day on No. 11, he rallied with birdies on Nos. 12 and 15 to get back to 6-under. Pendrith stuck his approach on the last and holed his short birdie putt to finish the round at 7-under.
"It was pretty smooth honestly," Pendrith said of his round. "It's nice to get off to a good start. I hit a lot of really good wedge shots inside 10-feet and my putter was on. I made a really good bogey on No. 11. I birdied the next hole and had a lot of good looks coming in."
Pendrith spent last season refining his game on the Mackenzie Tour – PGA TOUR Canada. In 12 starts, the Kent State University product recorded two wins, six top-10s and eight top-25s. He went on to finish second on the Order of Merit. Last December, Pendrith finished T30 at the Korn Ferry Tour Qualifying Tournament earning him guaranteed starts for the 2020 season.
"To get two wins was a breakthrough year," he said. "I've been close in the past up there losing in a bunch of playoffs. It gives me a lot of momentum and confidence coming up here knowing that I know how to win on the Mackenzie Tour. Hopefully I can chase a win down out here."
Pendrith grew up in Ontario, Canada and remains close with PGA TOUR player Michael Gligic. Last season, Gligic earned his first Korn Ferry Tour title at the Panamá Championship and went on to secure his PGA TOUR card.
"Me and him (Gligic) are good buddies," Pendrith said. "Obviously, he's the champion here from last year. We have some good Canadian vibes here. I play golf with Gligic all the time and it'd be cool to go back-to-back Canadian wins here."

Greyson Sigg sits alone in second after carding a 6-under 64 on Thursday. Beginning the day on the front nine, Sigg recorded pars on each of his first three holes. He erupted with an eagle on the par-5 fourth and added birdies on Nos. 6 and 9. Despite a bogey on No. 10, Sigg rebounded with birdies on Nos. 12, 14 and 15. The 24-year-old played his remaining three holes at even-par to post 6-under for the round.
"I got off to a pretty good start," Sigg said. "I shot 4-under on the front nine and bogeyed No. 10 but kind of brought it back with a couple birdies there. All in all, it was a pretty solid day."
The University of Georgia product is making his first start at the Panamá Championship. The Club de Golf de Panamá typically ranks as one of the hardest courses on the Korn Ferry Tour and was the most difficult last season. However, the par-70 layout played significantly softer on Thursday providing players with ideal scoring conditions.
"I played with a couple guys in the practice rounds and they were saying how different it is," he said. "It's almost a good thing I haven't seen the golf course and how different it's playing."
Grant Hirschman tallied seven birdies against two bogeys during Thursday's opening round to post 5-under 65. The 24-year-old credited a hot putter as the key to his successful debut at the Club de Golf de Panamá.
Hirschman made 13 cuts in 18 starts on the Korn Ferry Tour last season. During the final stretch of the 2019 Regular Season, the University of Oklahoma product recorded four top-20s in his final five starts to finish 67th on the points list and retain status for 2020.
"I like to think I'm carrying momentum from last year into this season," he said. "I ended on quite a string of top-25s and a couple top-10s and had a top-10 last week. I'm kind of trying to keep it rolling."
Ryan Ruffels, making the third start of his Korn Ferry Tour career, carded a bogey-free 5-under 65 on Thursday. The 21-year-old tallied birdies on Nos. 6, 7 and 8 en route to a front nine 32. He added birdies on Nos. 12 and 17 to earn a share of third.
Ruffels is no stranger to golf in Latin America having made 43 starts on PGA TOUR Latinoamérica. The Australian earned guaranteed starts for the 2020 season after finishing T21 at the Korn Ferry Tour Qualifying Tournament last December.
"I played in Latin America the last two years so I'm comfortable down here," Ruffels said. "I've played a lot of golf down in South America. Q-School was about as much pressure as you could get. I was able to get through all of those challenges pretty well."

Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne
July 31, 2020 FictionFan56 Comments
😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
It is Wednesday, 2nd October, 1872, and as he does every day, Mr Phileas Fogg is playing whist with his friends in the Reform Club. But this day the conversation turns to how the world is shrinking as more and more places become linked by fast steamships or railroads. Fogg claims that it is now possible to go around the world in eighty days. His companions pooh-pooh this notion, and Fogg offers to prove his point by making the journey. A wager is hastily arranged for the massive sum of £20,000 – half Fogg's entire fortune. He intends to use the other half to cover any unforeseen expenses on his travels. And within hours he's off, accompanied only by his French manservant, Passepartout, whom he had hired just that morning. But, unbeknownst to them, they are being followed…
I started my Around the World in 80 Books Challenge back in March 2016, so it has taken me considerably longer to make the trip than Phileas Fogg allowed himself! When I got close to the end I realised this was the only possible book I could choose to bring me back to London where my journey started all those years ago. And a perfect choice it proved to be! Not only is it a great book in its own right, but it also took me to all the places I've read about in the books I picked for my challenge. So when we got to Bombay I thought of playing cricket; when Fogg and his companions travelled by elephant I remembered Solomon's journey; when they reached Omaha I thought of the World Fair. Anyway, I shall do a proper round-up of the challenge soon, but meantime, back to this book!
Fogg is a man of rigid habits and an obsessive concern with punctuality and exactness in all things. The narrator suggests his background is rather unknown, but that he must have travelled in the past to give him his fairly encyclopaedic knowledge of the world. He is unflappable to an extraordinary degree given that his entire fortune is in the balance, but we eventually see that he has hidden depths. Passepartout, in contrast, is volatile and constantly getting into scrapes, but on the other hand he soon develops strong feelings of loyalty to his master and shows true bravery on more than one occasion. Then there is Detective Fix, trailing Fogg whom he suspects of having robbed Baring Brothers bank on the day he left London so suddenly. Fix spends half the time trying to slow them down and the other half trying to speed them up since he can only arrest Fogg on British soil – and the book reminds us that British soil spreads fairly extensively across the world at this period. The fourth character is an Indian woman they pick up along the way, but I won't say more about her because to tell her story would be a bit too spoilery.
The book starts a little slow, with a lot of concentration on timetables and dates and so on, and Fogg is not initially a very endearing character. He is interested only in achieving his aim of proving that the journey can be done in the time – he has no interest in the places to which they travel other than how quickly he can get out of them again on the next leg of the trip. Europe gets barely a mention, Egypt is a passing blur, and it's only really when they reach India that they begin to have adventures. But by that time, Passepartout and Fix have developed into entertaining characters, sometimes friendly, sometimes not, and they give the story the life and liveliness that Fogg's cold mechanical persona lacks. It's in India too, though, that for the first time we see signs of humanity beneath that British stiffness, and from there on gradually Fogg also becomes someone we care about.
From India to Hong Kong, to Yokohama, across America – sometimes ahead of the clock, sometimes behind. One adventure after another holds them back, each time throwing Passepartout into gloom and desperation but leaving Fogg unruffled and determined. And each adventure is more fun than the one before – storms and Sioux warriors, acrobats and opium dens, trains and steamships, polygamists and Parsees, and oodles of luck both good and bad. Will they make it back in time? Even though I knew the answer, I must admit I found the last fifty pages or so pretty heart-pounding, and joined Passepartout on his emotional roller-coaster ride between despair and euphoria. And the end is brilliantly done, misdirection and twists abounding!
The new translation by William Butcher in my Oxford World's Classics edition is excellent – flowing and fun. His rather scholarly introduction left me somewhat befuddled, in truth. As always, I read the book first, and imagine my surprise on being told that it's full of sexual innuendo and "brazen homosexual overtures" between the three male characters. I missed all of that! Even though he's now told me it's there, nope, I don't see it. Maybe he's right – in fact, since he's a Verne expert and I'm not, I'm willing to assume he is right – but then, on the other hand… sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Butcher goes so far as to say "the book is not designed for callow adolescents". Hmm, I was probably a callow adolescent when I first read it, and I don't think it corrupted my innocence! I did enjoy Butcher saying that Verne had portrayed the Mormons as an "erotico-religious group" though – I missed that too…
So an excellent adventure story suitable for all ages, or a walk on the wild side of sexual psychology, depending on whether you believe me or Butcher. Either way, highly entertaining – great stuff!

The African Queen by CS Forester
Love among the leeches…
😀 😀 😀 🙂
It is 1914. When the Germans round up all the native inhabitants of the Reverend Samuel Sayer's mission in Central Africa to take them off to fight in the war, the Reverend quickly succumbs to fever and dies, leaving his faithful sister all alone. Until along comes Charles Allnut, a Cockney mechanic who had been out on the river collecting supplies when the Germans came, and returned to find all the people at the mine where he worked gone too. He realises he can't leave Rose here, so takes her with him aboard the little steam boat, the African Queen, planning to find somewhere safe to hole up till the war is over, at least in this part of the world. Rose, however, has a different idea. She wants revenge on the Germans for destroying her brother's life work, and quickly convinces herself that they should take the African Queen down river to Lake Wittelsbach, there to destroy the German gunboat that patrols the lake. It takes her a little longer to convince Allnut…
This, of course, is the book on which the Hepburn/Bogart film was based, and since that's always been a favourite I knew the story well, and was interested to see how closely the movie had stuck to the original. The answer is that it does to a very large degree with one or two minor changes in characterisation, and then a huge divergence in plot at the end that makes the film into an adventure classic and leaves the book floundering as a rather anti-climactic disappointment.
Book 65 of 90
In the book, Allnut is a Cockney Londoner rather than an American. While I feel it would have been highly entertaining to see Bogie attempting to do a Cockney accent, I can understand why the star factor led to the movie character being portrayed as American. It doesn't make much difference, except of course to change the patriotism emphasis from one of Brits fighting the Germans to the usual Hollywood hoopla of Americans saving the world. Rose is very much as Hepburn played her except that the woman in the book is a decade or so younger. So although she is still the "spinster sister" of the missionary, she is young enough to make her transformation into an active adventurer and passionate lover slightly more believable. She is, of course, actually English too, unlike Ms Hepburn!
The main strength of the book is in the descriptions of the African riverscape. Forester gives a real feeling for the abominable heat and how badly this affects the pale-skinned Brits, however used to it they may be. The sudden rains, the insects, the leeches lurking in the water, the reeds that choke some parts of the river and the rapids that make other parts a terrifying thrill ride – all of these are done brilliantly and feel completely authentic (at least, to this reader who has never been even close to Africa).
The characterisation is considerably weaker, unfortunately, although they are both likeable enough to keep the book entertaining. Allnut is a weak, rather cowardly man but with lots of practical skills and knowledge, while Rose has courage enough for two and the ability to learn quickly, so they complement each other well. Do people change as rapidly as these two do, even in extreme circumstances? Hmm, perhaps, but I wasn't entirely convinced. Under the leadership of a strong woman, Allnut suddenly discovers a courage even he didn't think he possessed, whereas Rose quickly throws off a lifetime of repression and strict religious beliefs to become the lover of this rather underwhelming man. I didn't altogether believe it, but I still enjoyed the journey in their company.
CS Forester
At least, I enjoyed it up until the last ten per cent or so, when suddenly all the tension is destroyed by an ending that leaves our two main characters on the sidelines while the regular armed forces of Britain and German take over. No wonder the plot was changed for the film! I can't imagine what Forester was thinking, really. Perhaps he thought that the idea of two people tackling a German gunboat on their own was just too unbelievable and in real life that might be true. But this isn't real life – it's an adventure novel and needs a dramatic end led by our two unlikely heroes! Let them succeed thrillingly or fail tragically, but don't just stick them to one side and let other people take over! Pah! I was left infuriated and let down by the way it all fizzled out.
So overall, good fun for most of the journey but with a sadly disappointing ending. I enjoyed it, but I'm not sure that I'd really recommend it except to diehard fans of colonial adventure novels (which, by the way, reminds me that I haven't mentioned that some of the language about the "natives" is toe-curlingly dated). One of those cases where I feel the film is better…
Sword by Bogdan Teodorescu
The politics of crime…
When a petty criminal is brutally killed, at first no one pays too much attention. But it quickly turns out he was only the first victim – soon there have been several murders, all carried out the same way: a method which earns the killer the nickname Sword. All the victims have two things in common. They are all criminals, and they are all members of the Roma, a minority ethnic group in Romania. Soon the matter becomes political as long-unresolved racial tensions rise to the surface, leading to outbreaks of violence. This is the story of a new, fragile democracy and of the men who are trying to make it work, or to undermine it…
This is the first book translated by Marina Sofia, long-time blogging buddy and now one of the co-founders of a new venture into translated crime fiction – Corylus books. The translation is excellent, as I expected, knowing Marina Sofia's skill with words and expertise in about a million languages! Romanian is her mother tongue and English is the language she currently uses in her life, work and writing, so she really is the perfect translator for the book. There's no clunkiness, and either she or the author, or both, know when an international audience might need a little bit of extra guidance to understand something that may be obvious to Romanians. This meant that, although the story is quite complex, I never felt lost.
The book is a very original take on a crime novel, looking deeply into the politics of racially motivated crime and how it impacts on an already divided society. The first chapter shows us the first murder in fairly graphic detail and it seems as if it's going to be the start of a more or less standard crime fiction. But almost immediately we are taken, not to the police investigation, but to the corridors of power, where a Presidential election is only a few months away and all the top politicians are jostling for position. Some of the characters are named, but others are simply known by their titles – the President, the Minister of the Interior, and so on. There's a cast of thousands (slight exaggeration, perhaps) and a handy cast list at the end, although I quickly found I didn't need it, because in a sense who the characters are doesn't matter – it's their role in the politics of the country that matters. By about halfway through some of them had developed distinctive personalities, but others were simply "journalists", "Presidential advisers", "political commentators", etc.
You hate the sound of this now, don't you? But honestly, it works! It's not really about the people, or even the crimes – it's a political thriller about how politicians in a corrupt society manoeuvre, how they manipulate the media and how in turn the media manipulates them. It's about Romania trying to juggle the demands of all the demanding new European and American partners they have to deal with now they've left the Soviet sphere of influence. And it's a coldly cynical look at how politicians might ruthlessly inflame the divisions in society to boost their own electoral chances.
The Roma are seen as a kind of underclass, marginalised and discriminated against by a society that has written them off as criminals. They are the target of the Romanian version of white supremacists, but even the mainstream parties would rather they just stayed silent and invisible or better yet, left Romania altogether. As more victims turn up, tensions between the Roma and the Romanians grow, eventually leading to a series of violent confrontations, each more serious than the last. For those in power, a difficult balance must be struck – plenty of Romanians see the Sword as some kind of avenging angel, while the equally unscrupulous political leaders of the Roma see it as a way to lever some recognition for themselves. For those who want to be in power, it's an opportunity – how can they best use it to bring the government to its knees?
Bogdan Teodorescu
I suspect you'd have to be interested in the skulduggery of politics to enjoy this one, although it's certainly not necessary to understand Romanian politics specifically. The thing that most stood out to me, in fact, was that no matter the country, the corruption and the character of those who seek political power are depressingly similar. It's so well done – too believable to be comfortable. Seeing how the actions of one man can cause a chain reaction that escalates to a point where society itself is fracturing and in danger of imploding is frighteningly relevant, especially when the basis of the story is about the marginalisation and repression of an ethnic group – something we're all struggling with in the West at the moment. I love political shenanigans, so I loved the book, and learned a lot about Romania's recent history as a bonus. Great stuff – highly recommended!
Brighton Rock by Graham Greene
June 17, 2020 FictionFan67 Comments
Study of a psychopath…
Kolley Kibber has come to Brighton on a publicity campaign for his newspaper. He will walk the streets and any lucky reader who spots and challenges him will be given a cash prize. But on this day, Kolley Kibber – real name Charles "Fred" Hale – is scared. He knows that a Brighton gang he has written about is after him, intent on killing him. He feels he'll be safer if he's not alone, so tries to pick up one of the female day-trippers down from London to enjoy the beach and the bars and the sunshine. Ida Arnold is a kind-hearted good-time girl, who takes pity on this lonely stranger. But she leaves him for a few minutes to visit the public toilets and when she returns he's gone. Later she hears that he has died, and doesn't accept the report that his death was natural. She sets out to investigate. Meantime, Pinkie Brown, leader of the gang, is worried that one of his men may have done something that will give them all away just when it seems they have got off with murder. As his paranoia increases, he becomes caught in his own trap, every action he takes to avert the danger seeming to diminish his options more and more.
I loved Graham Greene with a passion back in my teens and twenties, but on a couple of recent revisits I've been a little disappointed. This is one I'd never read before and I'm delighted to say the old magic returned in full force as soon as it began. The first chapter is a masterclass in writing, creating fully-rounded and empathetic characters in Kolley Kibber and Ida Arnold, portraying wonderfully this seedy, poverty-ridden seaside town in the 1930s, and building a terrific atmosphere of tension and suspense. Although Kolley Kibber only appears for this short space of time, his disappearance and death hang over the rest of the book, so that his character becomes as unforgettable as those who are present throughout the whole book.
Ida is also an exceptionally well-drawn character, the beating heart of the book, with her warmth and joy in the act of living giving it the humanity it needs to relieve the otherwise pitch-black noir of the story. Later we will meet Rose, a young girl whose background is of such deprivation, both materially and emotionally, that she is easily persuaded to fancy herself in love with any boy who shows her attention, easy prey for Pinkie who comes to see her as a threat.
Richard Attenborough as Pinkie and Carol Marsh as Rose in the 1947 film of the book
But the star of the show is undoubtedly Pinkie, the boy gangster who too readily sees murder as the solution to all problems. This has to be one of the best character studies of a psychopath ever written. Greene gradually shows us what has brought Pinkie to this point – his unhappy childhood, the poverty and lack of opportunity for boys like him in the grim Depression-era world, the guilt and punishment inherent in his Catholic religion. Pinkie believes in Hell but can't quite bring himself to believe in Heaven, at least not for the likes of him. His disgust at the idea of sex raises all sorts of psychological questions – is it because he lived in a house so small that as a child he could hear his parents performing their weekly conjugal rites? Or is he a closeted gay, closeted so deep he's unaware of it himself? Or is he simply scared to show any kind of vulnerability, to perhaps fail at the crucial moment? Greene raises all sorts of questions about what may have made Pinkie who he is, but wisely leaves open the possibility that it's simply a matter of nature. And yet, rotten though he is, Greene gives him a terrible humanity of his own – a lost and damaged soul for whom it's impossible not to feel sympathy, to wonder whether if circumstances had been different he might have been saved, by man or his implacable God.
The suspense in the story comes from two angles. Will Ida succeed in learning the truth and getting some kind of justice for the man she briefly met and scarcely knew? And Rose – what will happen to Rose? All she wants is to be loved – is that too much to ask? But loving a boy who dislikes and fears her and who has already killed more than once – what will happen to Rose? As Pinkie fingers the bottle of vitriol he always carries in his pocket – what will happen to Rose? The tension of worrying about Rose becomes almost too much to bear.
I listened to the audiobook narrated by Samuel West, and he does a wonderful job. Every word is clearly enunciated and while he doesn't "act" the characters, he breathes life into their varied personalities. He lets the words speak for themselves, never letting his performance get in the way of the writing.
Beautifully written and with a quartet of distinctively unforgettable characters, this has leapt into the lead as my favourite Greene – high praise indeed from a lifetime fan of his work. While it's one of his "Catholic" novels, the religious aspects avoid the silly mysticism of The End of the Affair, reminding me more of the faith struggles of the priest and Scobie in The Power and the Glory and The Heart of the Matter respectively. And they play only a small part in what is first and foremost a brilliant noir depiction of a psychopath in a superbly evoked time and place. A fabulous book which gets my highest recommendation!

Enter Colter Shaw, professional "rewardist" – a man who uses the tracking skills instilled in him in childhood by his survivalist father to hunt for missing people for the reward money. The case soon becomes more complicated when another person goes missing, then another. Colter, teaming up with local police detective LaDonna Standish, must try to find each victim while they're still alive, while also attempting to work out who is behind it all and what they're trying to achieve. Soon the investigation will take them deep into the gaming industry in Silicon Valley, full of eccentric designers and cut-throat competition, and the whole weirdness of people who spend more time in virtual worlds than the real one.
As well as the main plot, this first in a new series fills us in on Colter's unusual upbringing and the mystery that still hangs over him from back then, which is clearly going to become a running story arc over future books. Colter's father bought a huge wilderness property and called it the Compound, on which he brought up his three children to be able to survive anything nature or mankind could throw at them. Although Colter then went on to college and is perfectly comfortable in the outside world, his childhood has left him unwilling to settle in a routine job and too self-sufficient to work for someone else, so he travels around the country in his Winnebago, sometimes for pleasure, sometimes chasing down a missing person for the reward money. But he's not a traditional loner – he has friends and people he works with professionally, and still regularly goes back to the Compound to visit his mother. His father taught him to make decisions based on probabilities, so when making any decisions he runs through the various options allocating each a percentage rating of success. These percentages appeared to me to be entirely arbitrary and so became increasingly pointless and annoying as the book went on. I do hope Deaver drops that in future books because otherwise Colter has all the makings of an excellent series protagonist.
It took me a while to get into this and it never really turned into a heart-pounding thriller for me, but I liked Colter and loved LaDonna (who unfortunately probably won't appear in future books, since Colter doesn't stay in the same place for long), and I found the background story about the world of gaming interesting (though I suspect it may drive real gamers crazy since Deaver explains everything at a really basic level for the novice). It is too long at 450 pages, and the divide between the actual plot and Colter's back story slows the pace too much, especially in the early section. The plot has lots of interesting twists and turns, though these aren't always executed as smoothly as I'd expect from an author with Deaver's long experience. However, the writing is excellent for the style of the book – that is, it's plainly and clearly written, third person, past tense, with a nice balance between characterisation and action, and I gradually found myself absorbed in it. I must admit I actually found the mystery relating to Colter's past rather more interesting than the main plot in the end, and it would be it that would tempt me to read the next book.
So overall, a good start to what has the potential to be a great series – I'd say there's about an 81% chance of that. I look forward to finding out.

The Guest List by Lucy Foley
April 20, 2020 FictionFan53 Comments
Wedding from hell…
When domineering and narcissistic Jules is getting married to handsome and charming TV celebrity Will, she wants her wedding to be glamorous and unique, so she books The Folly, a newly refurbished old house situated on a small, isolated island off the coast of Ireland. But when the guests begin to arrive, we soon learn that many have secrets, and long-hidden tensions and resentments will soon come to the surface as the drink starts to flow…
The blurb of this and many reviews are comparing it to Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, so I'll start by saying it's not comparable, either in plot or storytelling. This isn't a deranged seeker after justice gathering together a group of potential victims – rather it's a group of victims, one of whom will take revenge against another. The mystery is all in which of the damaged and bitter people will be the one to break and who will they kill? And, of course, in order to create "tension", the author keeps all their past secrets hidden until near the end, merely hinting dramatically at them throughout.
The trend of "that day" novels surely must be approaching its end now. It feels increasingly tired with every new "thriller" that comes along. In this one, nearly every character has a "that day" incident in their past, reminding me of why wedding receptions should never be held in remote places where there's no easy escape route for the few sane, sober guests. Not, I hasten to add, that there are any sane, sober guests at this wedding. From Aoife, the wedding planner who hints regularly at some tragic incident that has resulted in a well tended grave in the grounds of The Folly; to Jules' half-sister, Olivia, having dropped out of university over some shattering experience involving an unspecified man; to Helen, married to Jules' oldest friend Charlie and suspicious of their relationship; to Johnno, the best man, and the ushers – all school friends of Will and all constantly hinting at a terrible incident that happened back in their schooldays; every single guest is portentously weighted with emotional damage.
It sounds as if I hated this and I didn't, really. As what it is, it's reasonably good – it's simply that there have been so many of these identikit thrillers that I don't see much point in them unless they're real stand-outs, and for me this wasn't. It relies hopelessly on piling up coincidence after coincidence until it loses any pretence at credibility, and frankly becomes a bit laughable. However, it's well written, and, while I couldn't really believe that anyone would build a wedding venue on an island that gets cut off in storms and is full of deadly bogs, quicksands and underground caves, Foley does use this unlikely setting well to develop an atmosphere of menace. Initially her characterisation is quite good too – she ranges through multiple narrators (of course) and their voices aren't always distinct from one another, meaning that the chapter headings telling the reader who's speaking are essential, but each has an interesting story to tell, even if they tell them at glacial speed. Gradually, as their stories are revealed, it all becomes overly dramatic and the characterisation dips a bit, but despite it being grossly overpadded as is standard with current crime fiction, it mostly held my attention and kept me turning the pages. I may have suspected the dénouement would be, as it was, unconvincing, but I still wanted to know how it all turned out.
So, not really my kind of thing but I enjoyed it enough to make the time spent on it worthwhile, and I'm sure it will work better for the many avid fans of this type of thriller, who I hope will not be deterred by my lukewarm, subjective review.
The Prisoner of Zenda by Anthony Hope

Buckle your swash…
Owing to the indiscretion of an ancestor, the Rassendyll family shares heredity with the ruling family of the small Germanic nation of Ruritania. Every now and then a Rassendyll is born with the red hair and long nose common to the Ruritarian Kings. Rudolf is one of these red-haired Rassendylls and, being a young man with a plentiful inheritance and time on his hands, he decides he will visit Ruritania to witness the coronation of the new young King, another Rudolf. When he gets there he discovers that everyone is startled by his appearance – he doesn't simply resemble the King, they are almost identical. So when King Rudolf is incapacitated before his coronation, our Rudolf steps in to take his place in order to prevent the King's jealous half-brother, Black Michael (so called because he hasn't inherited the red hair), from carrying out a coup and stealing not just the throne but the beautiful Princess Flavia, destined to be the wife of the King. But when the King is then kidnapped, suddenly Rudolf finds the impersonation will have to go on until the King is free…
Short novel or long novella, this is a swashbuckling adventure full of drama, sword fights, high romance and chivalric honour. And it's great fun! Rudolf tells us the story himself, and it reminded me very much in style of John Carter in Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom books, where the first person narrator self-deprecatingly repeats the many compliments bestowed upon him by everyone he meets, so that we know he's wonderful in every way without him having to tell us so directly. A great swordsman, a flawless linguist, a natural leader of men, and an irresistible wooer of women, Rudolf is also a man who puts honour above his own desires, even when faced by overwhelming temptation. But he lets us see his internal struggle to do the right thing, which stops him from becoming insufferable. The King is a weak drunkard and Black Michael is a hissable villain, so that the reader can only agree with the growing number of Ruritarians who begin to think that the impostor is an improvement over the real royals.
Ronald Colman as Rudolf and Raymond J Massey as Black Michael in the 1937 film.
Although Black Michael is the chief baddie in terms of the plot, it's his henchman Rupert of Hentzau who becomes Rudolf's main adversary. Rupert shares most of Rudolf's manly attributes, but turns them to wickedness rather than good. So where Rudolf is not above stealing a kiss from an innkeeper's daughter, Rupert is more likely to kidnap the girl and "ruin" her – such a useful euphemism! And while Rudolf will do the right thing even if it hurts him, Rupert will cheerfully sell his loyalty to the highest bidder. They are a little like Jekyll and Hyde – two extremes of the same personality, one good, one evil. And Rudolf recognises this himself – although he finds Rupert morally reprehensible, he still admires his spirit and bravado, and finds his outrageous behaviour amusing.
The introduction in my Oxford World's Classics edition is by Nicholas Daly, Professor of Modern English and American Literature at University College Dublin. He tells us about the impact and legacy of the book, which spawned so many imitations they became a sub-genre all on their own, of "Ruritarian romances". There were successful stage adaptations in both London and New York, and several film versions, and Daly gives many examples of later books and films that were inspired by it. Ruritania itself, although imaginary, has taken on a life apart from the book. Wikipedia gives a list of instances when it has been used in order not to offend real nations: for example, "Australian foreign minister Alexander Downer cited Ruritania as a fictional enemy when illustrating a security treaty between Australia and Indonesia". Isaac Asimov apparently also used it if he wanted to tell a joke that was based on ethnic stereotyping, substituting it for the nation or people in the original joke.
Anthony Hope
The plot is very well done. It's quite simple – how to free the King and restore order – but Hope uses the impersonation aspect to tie all three participants up in a tangle where each is prevented from taking the easy option without destroying his own plan. And he skilfully puts the reader in the position of not being sure what the best outcome would be. This gives it the suspense that keeps those pages turning – it's hard to put down so it's fortunate that it's short enough to be read in an evening.
A thoroughly entertaining read, perfect for the next time you feel the need to buckle your swash! Or should that be swash your buckle…? Either way, recommended!

The Guesthouse by Abbie Frost
Variation on a theme…
Following the death of her boyfriend, Hannah's life is spiralling out of control. She's behaving recklessly and drinking too much, and her friends and family are getting very tired of her. So when she receives a reminder about a booking she and her boyfriend had made to stay for a few nights in a guest-house in Ireland, she decides to go. But as soon as she arrives spooky things begins to happen, while bad weather and storms means she and her fellow guests find themselves cut off from the outside world. And then the deaths begin…
There seems to be a little trend of books at the moment taking the premise of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None – a group of people carefully collected together in an isolated spot by someone with a grievance who then sets about bumping them off one by one. It's certainly an excellent set-up and the trick is to do something original within the overall structure so that it doesn't just seem like a copy of the great original. Frost's basic story isn't particularly original – after all these years of psychological thrillers it would be hard to find an angle that no one else had used – but she handles it well and uses the general spookiness of the house to good effect to create an atmosphere of enjoyable tension.
I must admit I groaned a bit at the beginning. A few years ago I got so fed up with the identikit misery-fest thriller sub-genre that I wrote a joking pastiche of it, involving a hungover alcoholic woman whose family and friends all hated her and whose life was a mess because of something unspecified that happened "that day" in the past. The first several pages of this book read almost like a pastiche of my pastiche, up to and including the obligatory drunken vomiting scene. Happily, while it continues to tread fairly well-worn ground throughout, Frost writes well (and in past tense – hurrah!), and makes the excellent decision to remove the opportunity for getting drunk from Hannah as soon as she arrives at the guest-house. Once she sobers up, she becomes a much more interesting and enjoyable lead character – a lesson all drunks, fictional or otherwise, could learn from!
Abbie Frost
The underlying story is dark and again perhaps too well-trodden to really surprise, but although I guessed parts of the plot and saw some of the twists coming, it's done well and, once the rather slow start is out of the way, the pacing picks up so that it becomes a page-turner. The characterisation is a bit patchy – some of the characters are very well done, others less so, but happily I lost my initial antipathy to Hannah herself and gradually found myself on her side.
It's not one to think too hard about or to analyse too deeply. There are, perhaps, too many bits that require a hefty suspension of disbelief. But the pacing and spookiness make it an entertaining read overall and it all culminates in an exciting and nicely over-the-top thriller ending. Once I got into it I enjoyed it a lot, finding myself reluctant to put it down, which is exactly the effect a good thriller should have.
Westwind by Ian Rankin

🙂 🙂 😐
When communications with the Zephyr satellite are suddenly cut, the monitoring staff at the Binbrook listening station work frantically to restore it. If it's down for more than a few minutes, chances are it will be lost for good. Fortunately, it kicks back in after a couple of minutes, as mysteriously as the original breakdown. One of the technicians, Martin Hepton, is puzzled – even more so when a colleague tells him that he has spotted something odd, and then before Hepton gets the chance to ask him what, disappears from the base. At the same time, there is an accident aboard a space shuttle and all the crew are killed except one – a British astronaut, Major Dreyfuss. All this is happening at a time when tensions are high already, due to the imminent pullout of American troops from their bases across Europe. Soon Hepton will find himself in danger, and to save himself will have to work out what's going on…
This is one Ian Rankin wrote many years ago when he was just starting out. It was first published in 1990 and sank without making much impression. Now there's a little trend happening of publishers reissuing early books of authors who have gone on to become big names. I've recently read a couple of early Peter Mays – one I abandoned and didn't review, and the other I loved. So there are gems out there – we've all read debuts we've thought were great and been disappointed when they didn't break through. Sadly, while this one isn't terrible, it's not very good either.
It took me a while to figure out why it wasn't working. It's well written as you'd expect from Rankin, and although the characters are clichéd and the technology is seriously outdated, neither of these is unusual in action thrillers. I realised it's the timing that's off. In thrillers, there's always a need to keep the reader in the dark alongside the characters as they battle against the odds to discover what's going on. But there has to be something to hold the attention while the plot gets a chance to develop – usually the reader getting to know and care about the main character – and that's where this one is weak. For several chapters, we keep meeting new people, most of whom are so underdeveloped that I found in the later stages I had no recollection of who they were or in what context we'd met them before, and each encounter is equally mysterious, constantly adding to the confusion. It bounces around so much that it was quite a while before I was even sure that Hepton was going to be the hero of the story. By that point my interest level had already flagged.
Hepton of course becomes the target of the baddies who are determined to kill him. This baffled me a bit, since he didn't know anything and probably wouldn't even have started looking into it if they hadn't started chasing him around. A rather incompetent move, I felt, to actually inspire him to become suspicious! That wasn't their only incompetence, though – I really felt that if their assassins were this bad at killing people, then the world probably wasn't in too much danger from them.
And I'm afraid that when we finally find out who the baddies are and what they're up to, I found it not only lacking in credibility but unfortunately all a bit silly. It left me feeling that Rankin was more interested in the action parts of the book than in ensuring there was a solid plot beneath them.
I've swithered over how to rate it. I suspect if it hadn't been Rankin, my expectations would have been lower and therefore I'd have been less disappointed in it. But then if it had been written by someone else, I also think I'd be unlikely to seek out more of the author's work based on this outing. I'm not convinced that this is a good trend – two disappointments out of three from two of my favourite authors of all time suggests that maybe their forgotten early books should be left to rest in peace. 2½ stars in the end, but I suspect that one of them may simply be because of my affection for Rankin's later work…

The Last Day by Andrew Hunter Murray
February 26, 2020 FictionFan38 Comments
When a rogue white dwarf star passes through the solar system, its gravitational pull affects the Earth's rotation on its axis. Gradually over a period of years it slows, with days and nights lengthening; and then it stops completely, leaving half the earth's surface in endless burning day and the other half in endless frozen night. Humanity scrabbles to survive and Britain comes out on top, lucky to be in the small habitable zone that surrounds the growing desert in the centre of the sunlit side. But when scientist Edward Thorne, on his deathbed, gives his old pupil Ellen Hopper a cryptic message, she is sucked in to uncovering secrets about how Britain has ensured its survival – secrets the authoritarian government will do anything to keep hidden…
There's a lot to like about this promising début, so let me get my criticisms out of the way first. The book is drowning under the weight of words, being at least a third too long for its content. Murray describes everything in detail – he does it very well but a lot of it is unnecessary and it slows the pace to a crawl. In order to thrill, thrillers have to maintain a good pace and to speed up towards the climax. This is so self-evident that it always stuns me that editors don't pick up on it even if writers make the basic mistake of getting too involved in their own descriptions of the settings at the expense of maintaining escalating forward momentum. The scene should be set in, say, the first third to half, and from there on the focus should switch to action. And the climax, when it comes, has to both surprise and be dramatic enough to have made the journey worthwhile. Here, unfortunately, the climax is one of the weakest points of the book, both in execution and in impact.
However, there are plenty of strong points to counterbalance these weaknesses. The writing is of a very high standard, especially the descriptions of the scientific and social effects of the disaster. Not being a scientist, I don't know how realistic the world in the book is but it is done well enough for me to have bought into the premise. Murray shows how science during the Slow and after the Stop becomes concentrated on immediate survival – developing ways to provide food and power for the people – while less attention is given to research into how the long-term future may turn out. As Ellen, herself a scientist, begins to investigate Thorne's hints, Murray nicely blurs whether this neglect is because of lack of resources, or because the government specifically doesn't want researchers happening on things they want to conceal. In a world where the government brutally disposes of anyone who threatens them, it's difficult for Ellen to trust anyone or to involve anyone else in her search for the truth for fear of the consequences to them, but her brother and her ex-husband both get caught up in her quest, and both are interesting relationships that add an emotional edge to the story.
Andrew Hunter Murray
The characterisation is excellent, not just of Ellen but of all the secondary and even periphery characters. I was so pleased to read a contemporary book starring a strong but not superhuman woman, intelligent and complex, who is not the victim of sexism, racism or any other tediously fashionable ism. The only ism she has to contend against is the authoritarianism of the government – much more interesting to me. Murray handles gender excellently throughout, in fact, having male and female characters act equally as goodies and baddies, be randomly strong or weak regardless of sex, and keeping any romantic elements to an almost imperceptible minimum. He also shows a range of responses to the authoritarianism, from those who think it's essential in the circumstances, to those who dislike it but remain passive, to those who actively or covertly resist it; and he makes each rise equally convincingly from the personality of the character.
So overall a very strong début with much to recommend it – if Murray learns, as I'm sure he will, that there comes a point when it's necessary to stop describing everything and let the action take over then he has the potential to become a very fine thriller writer indeed. I look forward to reading more from him.

The Mystery of Cloomber by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
January 27, 2020 FictionFan25 Comments
Those mysterious Orientals…
When a new neighbour moves into the long vacant Cloomber Hall, our narrator John Hunter West and his father and sister are keen to make their acquaintance, since their estate in Wigtownshire, in Scotland's southwestern corner, doesn't afford much in the way of society. But they soon discover that the new tenant, Major Heatherstone, has an almost morbid aversion to company, preferring to keep himself and his family safely behind the new fences and gates he has installed all round the property. Youth finds ways to overcome these problems, however, and John and his sister, Esther, are soon romantically involved with the Major's daughter, Gabriel, and son, Mordaunt, respectively. John soon learns that the Major's reclusive habits are because he lives in constant fear, but of what he won't reveal. However, his children tell the Wests that the Major's fears intensify every year on October 5th, and then lessen once that date is safely past. This year, however, just a few days before the 5th, a terrible storm blows up and a ship is wrecked off the coast. The survivors include three mysterious men from the East – Buddhist mystics – and when Major Heatherstone hears of this, his fears reach new heights…
The narrator is writing this as a kind of statement to explain the events that follow, and includes various accounts given in the words of witnesses. This gives Conan Doyle the chance to use some Scottish dialect and he does it very well, making it sound very authentic while keeping it clear enough for non-Scots to understand. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing him in Scots mode, since mostly, like most Scots authors, he wrote in standard English to please the much larger English reading public. Most of this is in standard English too, but the dialect and locations give it a Scottish appeal.
In structure, it's reminiscent of some of the longer Sherlock Holmes stories, in that it tells firstly of what happens in the present and then takes us back to the past to explain the reasons behind the events. It's pretty clear from early on that the Major's fears relate to something that he did when he was a serving officer in the Army. Conan Doyle was writing for a contemporary audience who would have been familiar with the campaigns the Major was involved in, but I must admit it took me a bit of time to work out where exactly he was. The Buddhists and the references to Sanskrit scholarship convinced me we were in India, as did the fact that the Major was leading troops including Sepoy soldiers. But there are references to Afghanistan too and John West tells us that the earlier events took place during the first Afghan War. It appears that they took place just over the border, where it was geographically Afghanistan but culturally still very similar to India, and the Indian troops were serving as part of the British Army in that war.
Conan Doyle was always interested in the mystical side of life even before he became so heavily involved in spiritualism, and this book is a real example of the then prevalent opinion of Eastern peoples as having mystical powers unknown to us in the West. There are lots of racial stereotypes and some unfortunate terminology, including use of the n-word, but if you can see past this, in fact Conan Doyle is expressing an admiration for a culture which he portrays as far more spiritually advanced than our own. He doesn't overtly criticise the behaviour of the Brits in general, but he does show that the imperial belief in our racial superiority led some to commit acts that he in his time, like we in ours, would see as atrocities. His portrayal of the Buddhists is an intriguing insight into the mixture of fascination and fear that the mysterious people of the Orient held for Victorian Britain.
There's mystery here, but there's also a generous dollop of horror and very effective it is too! The start is a little slow, but once it gets going it becomes a real page-turner, full of tension as we see the Major haunted by his fears, and then drama as we reach the climax. The concluding section where we learn of the earlier events has its own different kind of horror, as we read the Major's own diary account of what happened in Afghanistan. Great stuff, up there with the level of the Holmes' long stories, and I'm at a loss as to why it's not better known. Perhaps the outdated racial terms have made it fall out of favour, but I do think it's worth making the effort to see them in their context and look more deeply at the underlying criticism of British imperialist attitudes implied in the story. Another example of wonderful storytelling from the master – highly recommended!
The River at Night by Erica Ferencik
October 2, 2019 FictionFan22 Comments
Wini, our narrator, isn't an adventurous type but she's persuaded by her group of friends to go white-water rafting in the wilds of Maine. Pia has always been the leader, the one who holds the group together and who pushes them to step out of their normal routine once a year and take risks. This time she assures them their guide is experienced and knows the river well. It turns out Ryan is a twenty-year-old student with the looks of a Greek hero and enough confidence to persuade the more reluctant members of the group to trust him. Big mistake. Soon enough they run into trouble when their raft is lost and one of their party is killed. You'd think that would be the bad part of the trip, wouldn't you? You'd be wrong… you're forgetting that fictional wildernesses are always home to the strangest people…
There are so many books and films about wilderness adventures going horribly wrong that it must be difficult to bring anything original to the table, and Ferencik doesn't try. We have the usual group of people with pre-existing tensions that will come to the fore when danger threatens. There's the traditional mix of peril from nature and man – there's always some kind of weirdo around when an adventure holiday goes wrong, right? We have the ubiquitous current trend of women discovering how strong and resilient they truly are under adversity. And in line with modern adventures, there's plenty of blood, vomiting and unplanned urination to ensure that reading during mealtimes is not advised.
There's nothing wrong with writing to a formula, of course – thriller writers have been doing it for at least a century. Ferencik relies on the quality of her writing and characterisation to carry the thing off, and on the whole she succeeds pretty well. The four women are well drawn, each with a distinct personality, and the dynamics of their friendship rings true, with the little petty annoyances and resentments that build up in any small group over time but underpinned by genuine affection and a history of mutual support in bad times. Ryan, the guide, is also reasonably believable, though at every point I felt he came over as older than his supposed age of twenty – he felt too mature and adult to be that age (but that may be a sign of my own age!). The baddies, on the other hand, are ridiculously over-the-top, and their back-story left me totally unconvinced. Sadly I thought they were a real weakness in the plotting, neither credible nor realistic.
Erica Ferencik
Ferencik writes well, both in the slower passages when she is revealing her characters to the reader and in the fast-action sequences which grow and escalate as the book goes on. Too much swearing, of course, none of it necessary and adding nothing to either story or character.
So a mostly good example of a fairly formulaic thriller, let down a little by the unbelievability of the baddies. I enjoyed reading it, but hope she does something a little more original next time – I believe she has the talent, she just needs to find a better plot. Recommended, though, as an entertaining read overall.
The Second Sleep by Robert Harris
September 9, 2019 FictionFan38 Comments
History through heresy…
It's 1468, and young priest Christopher Fairfax is hurrying to reach the village of Addicott St George before curfew. He has been sent by his bishop to officiate at the funeral of the village's priest, Father Lacy, who has died in a fall from the local landmark known as the Devil's Chair. But once installed at the rectory, Christopher discovers that Father Lacy had been a collector of antiquities, some of them prohibited by the Church, and he soon has reason to wonder if there may be something more sinister behind the old priest's death…
But… that isn't really what the book's about. And I can't tell you properly what it is about, since that would spoil it! Makes writing a review kinda tricky. Suffice it to say, there's a layer of depth that takes this beyond being a standard historical fiction novel. There are elements of apocalypse and dystopia, though I wouldn't label the book as falling strictly into those categories either. It has as much to say about the present as the past, although we never visit the present. Are you intrigued? You should be!
Christopher has spent his young life in the Church, sent there as a boy to train in the priesthood. This is his first real venture into the world beyond the limits of the cathedral town he calls home, and he soon finds that the world outside has temptations, not simply of the body but of the mind. Heresy, he finds, is a slippery slope – somehow the forbidden exerts a pull on his mind, and the more he discovers, the more he begins to question all that he has been taught. Are the strict rules the Church forces on the population designed to save their souls, or simply to give the Church a stranglehold on power? At the same time, he is beginning to question his personal vocation – his faith is not in question, but as he becomes open to new thoughts and feelings, he wonders if he is able to go on preaching a religion he is beginning to question.
And he's not alone in his questioning. Others have dabbled in what the Church calls heresy, although the punishments are brutal. Some tread a fine line, trying to disguise their research into the forbidden areas of the past as anti-heretical warnings. Church and state are inextricably linked, and those who fall out of favour with one must suffer the penalties imposed by the other.
As always, Robert Harris has the ability to create settings which have the feel of total authenticity. Here, there's an added layer of subtlety as we discover that it's all not quite as straightforward as it first appears, and he handles the ambiguity wonderfully. If there's a flaw in his more recent books, it's that his plotting takes second place to his portrayal of a place or time or event. In Conclave, it's all about the inner workings of the Vatican and how popes are elected, and the actual plot is the only weak point; in Munich, the plot exists merely as a vehicle to allow us to be a fly on the wall at the Munich Conference of 1938. In this one, the plot revolves around Father Lacy's death and Christopher's growing interest in the beliefs of the heretics, but again it's simply a device for Harris to show us this society from different angles – to let us see how and why it has developed as it has. For some people, I know this is a real weakness, and usually it would be for me too. But I find Harris' scene-setting and the subjects he chooses so fascinating that I never feel the lack of a strong plot. Sometimes, as in Munich or An Officer and a Spy, he casts so much insight into a point in history that it's enough for me. Other times, as in this one or, say, Fatherland, he uses a slightly off-kilter look at history to make us see it with fresh eyes – not so much as it was, but rather as how only very slight alterations may have made it work out differently – and I find those wonderfully thought-provoking.
I also find his writing so smooth and effortless-seeming that the actual act of reading is pure pleasure. I find him a very visual writer – he doesn't go off into extravagantly poetic descriptions, but nevertheless I always end up feeling that I know the places and societies he's shown me as well as if I'd visited them. And even when he's making a "point", he never beats us over the head with it – he respects his readers to think it through for themselves.
As you'll have gathered, I loved this one – another rung on the ladder that is rapidly helping him climb to the very top of my favourite author heap. I do hope my vague review has intrigued you enough to tempt you to read this one…

The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware
When Rowan Caine spots an advertisement for a nanny position, she's staggered by the huge salary that's being offered. So she's willing to overlook the little detail that it's a desperate bid by the potential employers to find someone who doesn't mind that the house is reputed to be haunted. Because obviously ghosts don't exist, right? The last four nannies who've all left in the last year must have been mistaken. Off she goes, way up to the north of Scotland to a house set in splendid isolation, to take on a family of four girls: two small children, one baby and a bratty teenager. Their parents are busy architects running their own business so are often away from home, leaving their brood in the hands of the nanny, with only a hot handyman and a grumpy old daily help for company. And then the strange noises begin…
The title is a give-away that this is based to some degree on Henry James' novella, The Turn of the Screw. The isolation, the nanny who may or may not be a reliable narrator, the children who may or may not be sweetly innocent, the absence of parents, the suggestion of evil and the doubts over whether the odd things that happen are human or supernatural in origin, are all there.
At the risk of repeating myself, I will say again – if an author deliberately sets out to remind a reader of a great classic, she needs to be sure her own work will stand the comparison. I wasn't a wholehearted fan of The Turn of the Screw, finding it a rather unpleasant read overall, but I admired James' technique and ability to create a deeply disturbing atmosphere. He had, I assume, worked out that horror is exceptionally hard to sustain over lengthy periods, hence the novella form, and used ambiguity to great effect to unsettle the reader, never letting us know whether we could trust what we were reading. Ware has gone for novel length, meaning that there's much repetition of not particularly scary stuff and far too much detail over the "joys" of childcare – do I need to know what the children have for breakfast every day? The framing mechanism is that Rowan, in prison, is writing a letter to a barrister begging him to take her case, so we are told from the beginning that a child has died and Rowan is accused of murdering her. A 384-page letter. The barrister knows the case from the papers, so Rowan repeatedly says things like "You'll know why they think that I…" without letting the reader in on it. As always, I found this technique utterly annoying, although I know many people enjoy it.
Having got my grumps over with, there are some good things about it. After a far too slow start, it does become a page-turner, and the quality of the writing meant that even during the excessive details about everything I was never tempted to abandon it. The house is well done – a nice mix of Gothic overlaid with ultra-modern, again, I felt, a nod to the fact that this is a modern version of a classic story. It's a "smart" house with everything controlled remotely by apps, giving plenty of scope for spooky things with a contemporary feel, but it also has traditional touches like the closed-off attic and the poison garden in the grounds. The house has a history of a dead child and a father who was either an evil murderer or a heartbroken bereaved parent – depends which gossip you listen to. The handyman is either a lovely guy who wants to be helpful or a weirdo with an obscurely evil agenda. Rowan herself isn't clear-cut either – mostly it's easy to sympathise with her, but sometimes she doesn't seem to like children much and we quickly learn she has secrets in her background (of course), though (of course) we won't learn what they are until the end.
The last quarter or so is the best bit, when the suspense begins to build towards a chilling climax, where all the hints finally become clear and everything is explained. And that brings me back to The Turn of the Screw, where the effectiveness of the story – and the reason it's a classic – is precisely because all does not become clear! The reader is left to decide for herself what happened, and thus, in a sense, becomes complicit in the creation of the story. I finished my review of it by saying "Generally speaking, I shrug off written horror as soon as I close the book, but I found myself thinking of this story when I woke in the dark reaches of the night, and I had troubled dreams." With this one, although I quite enjoyed reading it, because everything was neatly tied up and presented to me as a finished story I was left with no shivery after-effects and slept like a log.

The Spy Who Came In from the Cold by John le Carré
August 14, 2019 FictionFan62 Comments
😀 😀 😀 😀 🙂
Alec Leamas is the head of the West German office of the British Secret Service – the time is the early 1960s, just after the building of the Berlin Wall. His main adversary, Hans-Dieter Mundt, has been successfully eliminating all of Leamas' agents one by one, and Leamas has just witnessed the death of the last double-agent he had in East Berlin. Called home, Leamas expects he will be retired, but he is asked to stay "out in the cold" for one last operation – to take part in an elaborate sting to infiltrate the East German set-up and bring down Mundt. But first he must establish a convincing cover story for himself, one that will make the East Germans believe that he is willing to betray his country…
This is my first le Carré novel, although his books have been adapted so often and he's been so influential on the genre I felt I had a good idea of what to expect – a bleak, cold portrayal of the work of spies far removed from the glamour of James Bond and his like. And that's exactly what I got in this slow-burn but engrossing thriller. Le Carré shows a moral equivalence between the agents on both sides of the wall rather than the good Brits/evil enemies portrayal that was more standard in fiction before his time. Both sides are shown as using methods that are murky at best and the question that underpins it is the old one of whether the ends justify the means.
To point this up, le Carré introduces an innocent into the story – Liz Gold, a woman with whom Leamas has an affair while building up his false story. She's an idealist – a communist at a time when the Communist Party in Britain is so minor and insignificant that it's more like a social club than a revolutionary political force. As the story progresses, she will have to face the reality of communism under a totalitarian government, and Leamas will have to face the consequences of having accidentally put her in a position of great danger. His world weary cynicism contrasts with her naive belief in humankind. Her love for Leamas and faith in him will force him to reconsider the methods and morality of the organisation of which he has been a part for so long.
The writing style is in line with the character of Leamas – unemotional and somewhat cynical. It takes a long time to work out quite what's going on, not just for the reader but for the characters too, since it's full of bluff and double-bluff. There's a distinction between characters who are doing what they're doing out of ideological conviction and those who are simply out for power and advancement, but one senses that eventually the believers will in turn become the old cynics – it's the job that does it to them in the end. This causes you to realise that once upon a time Leamas too was probably an idealist, making him more sympathetic than he first appears. We catch a glimpse too of how some join not through patriotism or belief, but because the job allows them to exercise a natural cruelty. And finally, we see how those at the top see agents as pawns on a chessboard, valuable up to a point, but sometimes worth sacrificing in the pursuit of victory.
There was only one light in the checkpoint, a reading lamp with a green shade, but the glow of the arclights, like artificial moonlight, filled the cabin. Darkness had fallen, and with it silence. They spoke as if they were afraid of being overheard. Leamas went to the window and waited. In front of him the road and to either side the Wall, a dirty, ugly thing of breeze blocks and strands of barbed wire, lit with cheap yellow light, like the backdrop for a concentration camp. East and west of the Wall lay the unrestored part of Berlin, a half-world of ruin, drawn in two dimensions, crags of war.
It's a bleak tale and a complex one that requires concentration to follow the twisting maze of plot. Le Carré trusts his readers to read between the lines, in terms both of the action and of the motivations of the characters, and ultimately that's what makes it so satisfying. There's enough ambiguity in it for each reader to decide for herself exactly what the ending tells us, but there are also clues for those who were paying attention. For those of us who might have missed one or two(!), my Penguin Modern Classics edition has a short but insightful introduction from William Boyd, no slouch himself when it comes to espionage fiction, in which he discusses the impact of the book and his own interpretation of the underlying meanings. This intro must be read as an afterword since it gives away the ending, but it does have a warning to that effect.

It's a little more bleak than my taste usually runs to and it took me a bit of time to feel involved in the story, but by the end I was totally absorbed and emotionally hooked. The writing is excellent and le Carré remains totally in control of the complexities of the plotting at all times. There's an almost noir feeling to it, certainly dark grey anyway, and a kind of despairing cynicism of tone, but there are also small shafts of light and the occasional unexpected humanity that remind us that these people do what they do so that we can live as we choose to live. But at what cost to themselves and, ultimately, to us? Thought-provoking, intelligent and engrossing – no wonder it's considered a major classic of the genre.
Conviction by Denise Mina
And… action!
As Anna does all her usual early morning tasks, she's expecting this to be a routine day. But then her best friend, Estelle, turns up at the door, and her husband, Hamish, comes downstairs with a suitcase and an announcement – he's leaving Anna and going off with Estelle, taking the kids with him. Left alone and feeling shattered, Anna looks for something to distract her mind, and begins listening to a true-crime podcast. She's amazed to discover that an old friend of hers, Leon, is at the centre of the story – as victim, or murderer, or perhaps both. With nothing better to do and not wishing to dwell on her broken life, Anna sets off to look up old acquaintances and do a bit of digging. Along the way she acquires a travelling companion – Estelle's abandoned husband, Fin…
There are some dark elements to the story – rape, murder, suicide, anorexia – but the tone is surprisingly light. In the hands of someone less skilled I might have said too light – the handling of the anorexia in particular veered close to being a bit too jocular at times, even though I thought it was a quite realistic portrayal. But Mina keeps the book rattling along as such a pace that there's no time to dwell on the bleaker themes – this is very much an action thriller. We soon learn that Anna is a woman with a past, one that has damaged her but made her strong. She's a survivor, and since she quickly decides she's not going to wallow in misery over her marriage, the reader is happily saved from wallowing with her.
Like all thrillers, the less you know going in the more you'll enjoy it, so I won't go too deeply into the story. Anna's past soon erupts into the present and, as she and Fin hunt for the truth about Leon's death, she in turn becomes hunted by the people she has been hiding from for years. It becomes a dangerous race across Europe as they begin to suspect that past and present might be connected in some way. Anna and Fin are an unlikely pairing (as Anna would be the first to point out) and their interactions add a lot to the humour and give the book its warmth. There's an enjoyable mix of excitement and humour, with some serious moments to keep it grounded, and the tension gradually builds to an excellent (if improbable) and totally unexpected dénouement.
Denise Mina
OK, credibility got thrown overboard fairly early on and, after struggling to the surface a couple of times, finally sank without trace. If you're looking for deep and meaningful, this isn't it, despite it touching on some of the themes of the moment. But I found it thoroughly enjoyable, fast-paced and fun, and very well written. This is only the second Mina I've read, the other being the darkly realistic The Long Drop, and I find it hard to imagine two books more different in tone and style. I'm looking forward to getting to know her work better and, meantime, happily recommend this one. If Hitchcock were still with us, he could make it into a great film…
Three Bullets by RJ Ellory
June 25, 2019 June 25, 2019 FictionFan23 Comments
Camelot revisited…
It's the summer of 1964 and the Democratic Convention is on the horizon, when they'll have to decide whether they will support President Jack Kennedy as their nominee for another four years. Scandal is beginning to swirl around him, though – over vote-rigging and corruption in the last election, over his increasing health problems and questions about his mental stability, over the many women with whom he is rumoured to have had affairs. When young journalist Jean Boyd is found dead, her mother can't believe the official line that Jean committed suicide. So she asks Mitch Newman, an old lover of Jean's, to look into it. Mitch's investigations will soon take him to Dallas where, back in the previous November, Jean had been following a lead relating to the President's visit there…
If you're confused, don't be. This is an alternative history, based on the premise that JFK did not die in November 1963. Ellory speculates as to how the Presidency would have played out if Kennedy had remained in office – would the scandals of which we're all now aware have become front and centre during his re-election campaign? Was he fit, physically and mentally, for another four years? Would the Democrats have stuck by him if he lost the Camelot glamour that inspired a generation? Would Jackie have been able to tolerate another four years of his blatant philandering? All interesting questions, and Ellory's research felt solid to me so that, although he perhaps takes some aspects a little further than my credibility was wholly willing to follow, it nevertheless felt mostly chillingly possible.
The other strand of the story is Mitch's investigation into Jean's death, and unfortunately this worked less well for me. Mitch has never got over Jean although they split up when they were barely adults, and we are treated to endless descriptions of his feelings of guilt, loss and self-loathing, all of which bored me to distraction. Ellory even chooses to include several of the love letters Mitch sent to Jean after their break-up, all of which reveal nothing more startling than that he was sorry and still loved her. (Poor Jean – if she was anything like me, she probably only read the first three…) Ellory repeats and repeats how Mitch feels today, how he felt back then, how he felt when he was in Korea during the war. The book could have lost ninety per cent of all this, and been considerably better for it.
RJ Ellory
It's a pity because otherwise this strand is interesting too. Basically, it's the story of the real assassination, only changed to reflect the fact that in the book the assassination doesn't come off. But real people show up – Jack Ruby, Lee Oswald, etc. – and Ellory treads a line between the official account and the various major conspiracy theories. I'm not hugely knowledgeable about the details of the event, but it all seemed to tie in well with what is known as far as I could tell.
It all leads up to a satisfying thriller ending, which again teeters precariously on the edge of credibility but doesn't quite fall off. The whole presents a dark, dark picture of the Kennedy clan, exaggerated in places (I assume) to achieve a thriller effect, but sadly mostly only too believable. If you can put up with all Mitch's endless regrets or, like me, skim read past most of them, then the what-if? features make this an interesting and enjoyable read.

Twisted by Steve Cavanagh
The clue's in the title…
JT LeBeau is a hugely successful author who specialises in the twist. He, or could it be she, hides his or her identity from the world, and this mystique of course only adds to the hype around her or his books. She, or is it he, will do anything to keep his or her secret…
OK, every review I've read of this has started in basically the same way and now I'm adding to it – this is one that's impossible to say much about without giving away too much, so this review will be short and not very informative!
It's all in the title – this is a book full of twists about an author who writes books full of twists. It's clever and amusing and a bit self-referential, in that it's lightly mocking what it itself is. Cavanagh has fun with the twists and plays with the idea of authors using secret identities, not shying away from referencing the likes of JK Rowling, aka Robert Galbraith.
It's very well written and the plot holds together pretty well despite the twists. However, it's light on characterisation – it has to be really, so we can continually be surprised. This makes it a light read despite some dark moments. There's no feeling of depth, nor does the reader get the opportunity to care much about the characters. The only one I built up any kind of feeling for was the local Sheriff who was investigating the… oh, sorry, can't tell you what he was investigating. And not surprisingly, as twist piles on twist, credibility is the chief victim.
One minor irritation is that Cavanagh, clearly feeling that constant repetition of he/she, her/his, etc., would be irritating, chooses to use they/their instead – grammatically tooth-drilling to my pedantic soul. We really need to create a gender-neutral word. So, since the fault lies with the inadequacy of our language, I bit the bullet and forgave the author. Just.
Overall, I found it a fast-paced page-turner that kept me amused while reading, and will almost instantly be forgotten. That's fine, though – sometimes entertainment is all that's wanted, and this delivers well on that score. Recommended as a well written bit of fun.
Deadland (DS Alex Cupidi 2) by William Shaw
June 3, 2019 FictionFan42 Comments
Ramping up the tension…
When a severed limb turns up inside an urn on loan to the local art gallery, DS Alex Cupidi and the team have a real mystery on their hands. First they have to try to work out to whom it belonged and if the owner is dead, and why it was left in a place where it was bound to be discovered, all before they can even begin to investigate who put it there. At the same time, two local lads, Sloth and Tap, are starting out on a life of petty crime. They decide to steal a mobile phone, but unfortunately for them they pick the wrong victim, and soon find themselves being hunted by someone who seems willing to go to any lengths to recover his property, so they run off into hiding. While Alex is tied up in the possible murder investigation, she can't help being worried for the safety of the boys – criminals they may be, but they're also victims, of difficult homes, of substandard schools, of a society that doesn't seem to care. And they're the same age as Alex' own daughter, Zoe…
Alex Cupidi is a great detective. She isn't an angst-ridden maverick, but there are enough complications in her personal life to make her interesting, and her relationship with her daughter is entirely credible. Zoe is seventeen, mostly adult but still part child, and Alex is finding it difficult to get the balance right between protecting her and letting her find her own way in life. The situation is complicated by Zoe's zealous championing of causes which sometimes bring her into confrontation with the forces of law and order. Shaw handles this excellently, never taking it too far, and there's plenty of love in the relationship to help smooth over any areas of conflict.
The police procedural aspect is just as good. Shaw lets us know about the painstaking detail that goes into an investigation without allowing the story to get bogged down in it. Alex' colleague and friend, Jill, has got herself into a tricky personal situation, and this lets us see another side of Alex, trying to juggle loyalty to her friend with the professional demands of the job.
One thing I particularly loved was that Shaw includes people of different ethnicities and sexual orientations without making a big deal of it. I'm so tired of authors feeling they have to write "about" diversity – until we start treating diversity as normal, it never will be. So hurrah for an author who makes it unremarkable…
(This is the second time I've made a comment like this recently, the other being in relation to the entirely believable, positive background portrayal of racially diverse Birmingham in Lucie Whitehouse's Critical Incidents. A new trend, perhaps? If so, a very welcome one.)
The plotting is great – complex and fast-paced, but never to a degree where the reader feels lost. It takes Alex and Jill into the rich and shady world of art-trading, where vast amounts of money changing hands provides opportunities for all kinds of dodgy dealing, and the wealthy shelter behind their security fences and sense of entitlement. But through Tap and Sloth we also see the other end of the social spectrum, where a meal in a burger bar can seem like a feast. There's no faux "that day" suspense in this one. Instead, Shaw makes us care so deeply about the two boys that the tension level ramps ever higher as the story unfolds, with some real heart-thumping moments along the way. And there's no cosiness about it, so that there's a real feeling of fear that one or both of them may pay the ultimate price for their stupid crime. But equally their story is not too grim or gritty to be enjoyable. There's a lot of warmth and humour in their friendship – two misfits who've each found someone they can rely on, even love.
Shaw makes excellent use of his Kent setting, both in town and out on the wild and forbidding marshland landscape of Dungeness. He lets us see all the contrasts in wealth in this area, the secluded and luxurious homes of the rich, while the old seaside hotels and boarding houses along the Kent coast are now hostels housing many of the refugees and migrants recently arrived on our shores.
This is one of those rare masterclasses in crime writing that should be made compulsory reading for all aspiring authors. I loved everything about it, especially the sections of the boys on the run, and raced through it because I needed to know whether they would make it. Did I come out of it smiling or sobbing though? I'm afraid you'll have to read it for yourself to find the answer to that question. One thing I will tell you – I'll be backtracking to read Shaw's earlier books, and adding him to my read-on-publication-day list for future ones…

Death In Captivity by Michael Gilbert
May 8, 2019 FictionFan44 Comments
A locked tunnel mystery…
It's 1943, and the British officers held in a prisoner-of-war camp in north Italy take their duty to escape seriously, so the camp is riddled with tunnels. The biggest and most hopeful of these is under Hut C, elaborately hidden under a trapdoor that takes several men to open. So when a body turns up in the tunnel the question is not only how did he die but also how did he get into the tunnel? The dead man is Cyriakos Coutoules, a Greek prisoner who was widely unpopular and whom some suspected of having been an informer. When it begins to look as if his death was murder, the camp authorities quickly fix on one of the prisoners as the culprit, but the Brits are sure of his innocence. So it's up to them to figure out how and why Coutoules died, and who did kill him…
Well, this is a very different take on the classic "locked room" mystery. In fact, to a degree the mystery becomes secondary to the drama of what's happening in the prison camp as the Allies approach and it looks as though the Italians may surrender. The prisoners doubt this will lead to their release – they anticipate the Italians will hand them over to the Germans before the Allies arrive – so it's all the more important that they get their plans for escape ready urgently. The Italians meantime, facing almost certain defeat, know that the Allies will be looking to hold people responsible for any war crimes that may have been committed, so they have an incentive to destroy evidence or get rid of witnesses who might be used against them. So tensions are rising all round, and some people are driven to rash actions.
There is a bit of the gung-ho British heroism attitude in the book, unsurprisingly given that it was first published in 1952 when the war was still fresh in people's minds. But Gilbert actually gives a fairly balanced picture – not all the Brits are heroes and not all the Italians are evil, and the relationships of the prisoners to each other are shown as complex, with everything from close friendships to rivalries and dislikes. As the men begin to suspect that there's a spy in the camp, suspicion leads to mistrust, and we see how the officers in charge have to deal with that. Gilbert doesn't pull any punches regarding either the treatment of the prisoners or the dangers associated with their various escape attempts, so the book is hard-hitting at points. But the general camaraderie and patriotism of the prisoners also give the story a kind of good-natured warmth and a fair amount of humour which prevent the tone from becoming too bleak.
The officers in charge delegate the task of investigating the murder to "Cuckoo" Goyles, a young man whose experience of detection is restricted exclusively to having been a fan of mystery novels. He has to try to sift through the little evidence that is available without revealing anything that might alert the Italians to the existence of the tunnel. He uses his knowledge of how the camp works and of some of the weaknesses in security the escape committee has observed while making their plans. And he has to work quickly – the cruel camp commander, Captain Benucci, has a man in custody and no one has any illusions but that he'll be found guilty.
Michael Gilbert
However, I was far more interested in whether the men would escape safely than in the solution of the murder mystery, in truth. I felt Gilbert's portrayal avoided the pitfall of being overly dramatic to the point where it crossed the credibility line, but this still left him plenty of room to create genuine tension and suspense. In his introduction, Martin Edwards tells us that Gilbert himself was a prisoner in Italy during the war and had personal experience of both failed and successful escape attempts, which no doubt is why the story feels so authentic. As the Allies draw ever nearer, the book takes on aspects of the action thriller and I found myself reading into the small hours, desperate to know how it would turn out.
This is so unlike the only other Gilbert I've read, Smallbone Deceased, but both are equally excellent in entirely different ways. I'm so glad the British Library has brought these books back into print and I now can't wait to read the third one they've republished so far – Death Has Deep Roots. You can count me as a new Michael Gilbert fan, and if you haven't already guessed, this one is highly recommended.

Indian Elections, 2009: Vote for Moderation and Maturity?

Elections in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />India present outcomes which require an analysis encompassing divergent rationales that co-exist in our bouquet society. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Each state, each constituency decides in its own way. The reasons are emotional, historical, economic, caste-based, and rooted in aspirations as well as fascinations of voters. Hence cricketers, movie and TV-stars get elected, sons and granddaughters of erstwhile Rajahs win, political dynasties win and lose, and occasionally you find a maverick rookie like writer/diplomat Shashi Tharoor win.
I was not in India to vote this time, but I waited for the outcome. Here are my thoughts, random thoughts of a chaotic being, which show that I love and hate all the political parties. Yet, I am Indian, optimism never deserts me, and this election gives me hope.
I have enormous respect for these leaders and yet I cannot understand what logic tells them that leading a nation like India must be trusted to an eighty-one year old. Age brings wisdom, but grand old age brings senility, or at least health problems, spiritual crisis and so on. In any case, India has far too few voters above the age of fifty, and I cannot see the justification for keeping middle-aged, mature and sensible leaders away from ministerial berth to accommodate people who used to be cult figures, much before many the voters were even born. If you had only read my satire on age based reservation, you'd know how skewed the age distribution in India is right now. The age of the leaders is a significant problem, it is only one of many problems that plagues BJP's pursuit for power.The most promising outcome of this election was the defeat of parties and leaders with a caste-based agenda. The so called saviors of a certain caste or religion put every effort of Indian democracy towards harmony and progress in danger. I really envision a moral code, enforced strictly, that prevents leaders from making pro- or anti- caste remarks.
If inciting people in name of religion violates the code of conduct, I see no reason why a castist remark be left out of the purview of this code of conduct. While the reservation of certain seats itself identifies the candidates as belonging to a certain community, everywhere else, the mention of caste must be made crime punishable by law. There must be no room for candidatures that rely on caste, color, creed, birth, and yet, it is easier said than done.
My liberal view tells me that we need not make any new rules, for in time, the farces, the fallacies, the fascists, will self-destruct. Yet, the danger posed by these forces is real and too imminent to be ignored.
The erection of statues and memorials of living leaders at the expense of state treasury must be dealt with strict penalties on the responsible party, no matter how ludicrous the leader looks in this enterprise, the joke must not be staged on public money. There are a few questions on which I do not agree with many of my friends and so called liberals. I think religion has a role in politics, and religion itself is not a demon. A personalized belief system protects the leader from various corrupting influences. A personalized belief system, like that of Mahatma Gandhi, when practiced properly, also serves as the lighthouse for the others.
Do we need to build temples at particular sites? I don't know, but we need to ask those interested to at least look after and care for the temples that already exist. I will trust their devotion more, if it is used in providing help where the need exists. Also, I want my Ram back, I want my Lord back. I want him clean of every stain the politicians have inflicted in his name. I also want to see Mathura cleaner, Nashik, Haridvar and Varanasi made into properly managed, maintained, cities of pilgrimage. The filth there shows that the corruption of our within has spread into every street and public place, even the places where Gods once lived.
Also, I believe that if in certain ways, Hindus or certain castes, exploit others, democracy allows minorities to exploit the rifts in the majority to their advantage as well. The Hindutva issue is not misplaced; some anger is justified, and need to be addressed. It is about time that equality of religion and caste in eyes of law provide neither discrimination nor reverse-discrimination to any sect, faith, group, community. Voters must see to it; in my ideal world, they will. If any party believes that locals are not able to find jobs, I want those parties to help in education and employment efforts. If any community thinks their language is being ignored, I want to see great literature emerge from the mouths or pens of those who know only to burn others and not the hate within.
If any leader makes his life's aim to get justice for his people, let him start by empowering his people with opportunities for education and enlightenment. If any party wants to distribute free televisions, sell rice that exceptionally low price, distribute funds to families of terrorists while not caring for the lives of army men or jawans, let the politicians of these parties sit out of elections. If a man has murdered, raped and killed, has a criminal background, let us not judge him too harshly, and allow him to stand in elections only after he has done twelve years of community work, and shown to himself, and society, that 'every sinner has a future, every saint has a past.' No shortcuts to redemption exist, and even if the voter faults once or twice, over democratic system has to be mature enough to keep the criminals and the corrupt at bay.
Did India or Bharat vote for moderation? Yes, but not everywhere. Did we vote for harmony and maturity in places where religious and caste agendas were defeated by progress bandwagon? Yes, not everywhere. Has Indian democracy matured? Not yet, not quite, but the journey, it seems has taught it a few lessons, and will teach it many more. We have a lot of issues to resolve, economic hardships, coupled with terrorism and Naxal movement, religious and regional rifts, compounded by the pervasive hydra of caste system.
Let us gather all forces together, hope next five years take us to a better socio-politico-economic situation. Let us applaud the peaceful completion of another election. Even though it is hard to know what everyone among the seven hundred million voters thought, let's assume that we saw the victory of moderation, maturity, progress, erudition and harmony.

Construction of the first phase of 30 townhomes in scenic Rockaway Beach, OR is complete. The project is off to a great start as all six of the units were pre-sold and sold for significantly more than they were appraised for pre-construction. Major banks passed on the deal due to the fact that the income producing part of the property (an old family owned motel) was being torn down to make way for the townhomes. Seattle Funding Group's quick construction loan assisted in successfully putting the borrower "on the map" as a quality developer.

We present a Raman spectroscopic study of the conversion of soybean oil into biodiesel by methanol using the lipase B enzyme pseudomonas cepacia as the bio-catalyst and 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium ionic liquids (C n C 1 Im) as co-solvents, where the alkyl chain length is varied from ethyl (n=2) to decyl (n=10). We have limited this study to a low reaction temperature, 40°C, and a low enzyme concentration to investigate the possibility of producing biodiesel with low energy and cost demands. We also demonstrate that Raman spectroscopy is a powerful and straightforward method to estimate the yield of the transesterification reaction, by analysis of the characteristic CO stretching mode found in the range ~1730-1750cm-1. Our results indicate that both reaction yield and reaction rate increase with the chain length, but also that for chains longer than decyl further improvements are marginal. We discuss these results from the viewpoint of local interactions and local structure of the investigated ionic liquids.

What are the elements that define the beauty of your home? Well, there are many answers to it. The interior and exterior designing including wall paints of home can readily make an impression on your neighbours. But those who know the art of landscaping can really astonish any critics. Landscaping is the best way to renovate the appearance of your home without much financial bias. So in this article, we discuss some tips and tricks for landscaping.
Smart landscaping is the technique of adding more interest and attractiveness to the terrain of your home. From ancient time people realized that manipulating the land around a home will increase the practical and aesthetical value. In the beginning, landscaping was merely placing of structures and adding plants. But eventually, modern home designers invented the true potential of landscaping and many homes became heavens. Today landscaping starts even before house constructed. To increase perfection engineers divide your land into small plots. Each plot can be converted as per pragmatic or visual need.
Landscaping is where you combine professionalism and art. Here scientific knowledge of a horticultural professional is as much as important as the skill of a landscape architect. It is your duty to make sure each section of your land is retouched as your dream theme. Because most of the landscaping inputs are meant for a lifetime. Since perfect landscaping enhances better lifestyle people are getting to realize the importance of such approaches.
Without a plan in mind, you won't reap the advantages of landscaping. It's better to have plans to utilize the land before the construction phase starts. If you can't attain a plan yourself don't hesitate to seek professional help. They can guide you through the possibility and limitation of the land.
After finishing the plan, point out where you want to begin. Make a plot chart of your land according to the consideration it demands. Some part of the land might have structures to demolish. Or some other plot may demand a new structure to be built.
The waste product such as barrel, bottle, tire etc. can be used for building structures or planting a tree. There are many ideas to convert plastic bags and bottles to make landscape fabric. With professional help, you can use such waste material to make a floor bed which keeps weeds away.
Making walkways between a garden and lawn is an easy way to connect those plots. You can pave concrete step stones or colour bricks to make the way. Rather than straight walkways try to make curved ones. Because the round edge makes more visual appeal than square blocks.
Erecting structures in your lawn is a direct way to make a statement. A beautiful statue, fountain or even a big rock can steal the eye of your visitors. Making small ponds with plants around is an old but evergreen landscaping trick.
For many houses corners of their compound are untouched. Bare corners will reduce the visual wideness of the ground. So make corners attractive by adding a private seating arrangement or built a mound there. The latter can be adorned with flowering plants or pebbles.
For years gardening acts as the synonym of landscaping for common people. It's true that landscaping is incomplete without a beautiful garden. By combining structures and seating a flowering garden can be the primary focal point in the compound. Using big pots and climbing plants adds drama to a garden. Since garden demands frequent care, opt for low-maintenance plants. You can also try erecting structure right in the middle of a garden.
Illumination can do wonder by enhancing the focal point inside the compound. Light add colours to the structures and increases the safety by illuminating sidewalks in the night. Upward or downward light can add magic to trees and grass turf.
Why do you need to buy a home of your own?
RAINING HERE! HAVE YOU INSULATED YOUR HOME AGAINST "WET" YET?

ITIC hosted Forum 2008 this past October with resounding success, thanks to the delegates and the time and efforts of the speakers.
We had the pleasure of hosting over 200 attendees at Forum. With the focus on providing you with access to leading speakers from the industries in which you work and the opportunity to network with colleagues outside of the traditional work environment, the two days mixed formal presentations with interactive discussions and social events.
The first day served as a general forum, which was done in a rolling-debate style, moderated by John Guy. Designed to cover topics that were of a broad interest to our members, the day started with a market overview by Dr Martin Stopford and continued with presentations about the challenges and opportunities facing the different sectors of the industry.
The second day was split into four separate forums to allow for speakers to tailor the presentations and delve into some of the finer points of ship agency, ship broking, ship management, and design and survey. Each forum covered a variety of topics, with some of the new regulations analysed and discussed. Additionally, there were workshops and interactive sessions to stimulate delegate participation.
The quality of the presentations and discussion was entirely due to the efforts of the speakers and interest of the delegates, for which ITIC is greatly appreciative. Forum could not have been successful without the delegates.
For this year's Intermediary, ITIC has decided to use the expertise of the speakers at Forum and reproduce a selection of their speeches.

Why did the Japanese attack Manchuria in 1931?
In September 1931, they claimed that Chinese soldiers had sabotaged the railway, and attacked the Chinese army (which had just executed a Japanese spy). The Chinese army did not fight back because it knew that the Japanese were just wanting an excuse to invade Manchuria. China appealed to the League of Nations.
Who invaded French Indochina?

What did Japan do in World War Two?
On December 7, 1941 Japan attacked the US Navy at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. They surprised the US and sunk many ships. The US joined the Allies in World War II the next day. The attack at Pearl Harbor united the Americans with the goal of defeating the Axis powers, and especially Japan.
What nation did China fight against during ww2?
China's resistance to Japan is one of the great untold stories of World War II. Though China was the first Allied power to fight the Axis, it has received far less credit for its role in the Pacific theater than the United States, Britain or even the Soviet Union, which only joined the war in Asia in August 1945.
Which side was China on in ww2?
World War 2 was fought between two groups of countries. On one side were the Axis Powers, including Germany, Italy and Japan. On the other side were the Allies. They included Britain, France, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, India, the Soviet Union, China and the United States of America.
How many Chinese were killed in World War 2?
From the invasion of China in 1937 to the end of World War II, the Japanese military regime murdered near 3,000,000 to over 10,000,000 people, most probably almost 6,000,000 Chinese, Indonesians, Koreans, Filipinos, and Indochinese, among others, including Western prisoners of war.
What country has the most deaths in World War 2?
In terms of total numbers, the Soviet Union bore an incredible brunt of casualties during WWII. An estimated 16,825,000 people died in the war, over 15% of its population. China also lost an astounding 20,000,000 people during the conflict.
Which country suffered the greatest number of casualties in World War 1?
Casualties of World War I
Total mobilized forces
Killed or died 1
Allied Powers:
Russia 12,000,000 1,700,000
France 2 8,410,000 1,357,800
British Empire** 8, 904,467 908,371
Which country has the least soldier in World War One?
Statistics related to WW1
Which country has the most soldiers in World War One? Russia
Which country had the least soldiers in World War One? Turkey
Which country had the highest number of deaths? Germany
Which country had the least number of deaths? United States
What are the four main causes of World War One?
The war started mainly because of four aspects: Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism and Nationalism. The overall cause of World War was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Nationalism was a great cause of World War one because of countries being greedy and not negotiating.
What are the four main causes of World War 1?
One way to remember the FOUR main causes of World War I is to remember the acronym M – A – I – N. (M = Militarism, A = Alliances, I = Imperialism, and N = Nationalism.) MILITARISM was one of the four major causes of the war. It was an "arms race." Because Britain had a large navy, Germany wanted a large navy too.
How did World War One end?
World War One ended at 11am on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, in 1918. Germany signed an armistice (an agreement for peace and no more fighting) that had been prepared by Britain and France. At the start of 1918, Germany was in a strong position and expected to win the war.
Why did the Germany lose the first World War?
So, Germany lost WW1 because the French army was able to escape the trap set for them by the Schlieffen Plan, redeploy their forces to the Marne, and halt the German advance in September 1914. After that failed, the odds were always going to be against Germany. Still, German defeat wasn't assured.
Who refused to sign the Treaty of Versailles?
Germany had formally surrendered on November 11, 1918, and all nations had agreed to stop fighting while the terms of peace were negotiated. On June 28, 1919, Germany and the Allied Nations (including Britain, France, Italy and Russia) signed the Treaty of Versailles, formally ending the war.
Why was Germany not allowed to participate in the Treaty of Versailles?
The main reasons why the Germans hated the Treaty of Versailles was because they thought it was unfair. Germany had not taken part in the Conference. They hated clause 231 – the 'War Guilt' clause – which stated that Germany had caused 'all the loss and damage' of the war.
Who are the big three?
The three most important men at the Versailles Conference - 'the Big Three' - were:
Georges Clemenceau, the Prime Minister of France (2nd right).
Woodrow Wilson, the President of America (far right).
David Lloyd George, the Prime Minister of Britain (far left, talking to Orlando, the Prime Minister of Italy).
What is the Big Three in history?
The History Place - World War II in Europe Timeline: November 28, 1943 - First Meeting of Big Three at Teheran. In Teheran, Iran, the first meeting of the 'Big Three.' From Left: Soviet Union leader Josef Stalin; U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt; and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
Where did the Big Three first meet?
On Nov. 28, 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Prime Minister Winston Churchill of Britain and the Soviet leader Josef Stalin met in Tehran during World War II for the start of a four-day conference. It was the first meeting between the "Big Three" Allied leaders.
How was Germany divided after the war?
AFTER its defeat in World War II, Germany was divided into four zones under the control of the United States, Britain, France and the former Soviet Union. The division, nevertheless, was provisional. However, the postwar development of Germany turned out to be different from the settlement of the Potsdam Conference.
When did Germany surrender to the Allies?
What country is Manchuria now?
Manchuria, also called the Northeast, Chinese (Pinyin) Dongbei or (Wade-Giles romanization) Tung-pei, formerly Guandong or Guanwei, historical region of northeastern China. Strictly speaking, it consists of the modern provinces (sheng) of Liaoning (south), Jilin (central), and Heilongjiang (north).

Ocean's 8 Adds Rihanna, Anne Hathaway and More
Posted By: Justin Sangharaon: August 12, 2016 In: Coming Soon, Movies, News2 Comments
Reports suggests Ocean's 8 is close to signing some big names. Pop star Rihanna, Oscar winner Anne Hathaway, Academy Award Nominee Helena Bonham Carter, comedian and actress Mindy Kaling, and comedian and actress Awkwafina are close to being attached to the project.
The original report coming from Deadline indicates Warner Bros is hoping to start filming by October in New York.
These ladies will join already signed Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett, bringing the total to seven, one shy of the titular 8. Rumors point to Jennifer Lawrence being eyed for the role, which would reunite her with Hunger Games director Gary Ross, who is also directing Ocean's 8.
Ocean's 8 is a spin-off/remake of 2001's Ocean's 11 starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Matt Damon, which was in turn a remake of the 1960 movie of the same name. 2001's 11 was a huge success, spawning two additional sequels.
Cast of Ocean's 11.
The Ocean franchise is a series of heist films, in which a group of characters from different walks of life are brought together by a charismatic leader to pull off a big job, usually robbing someone bad.
The last film to release in the franchise was Ocean's 13 in 2007. Deadline notes it is very possible for members of the original cast to make cameo appearances in the Ocean's 8. Steven Soderbergh who directed 11, 12 and 13 is producing the new film.
With the additions of comedians Mindy Kaling and Awkwafina it's pretty clear the remake will be light in tone, not taking itself too seriously.
Rihanna's most recently finished filming Luc Besson's new sci-fi movie Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, which is slated to hit theater next summer.
Mindy Kaling is currently working on her show The Mindy Project, which she stars in and is also the Executive Producer on.
Anne Hathaway was recently in the box-office bomb Alice Through the Looking Glass, which performed significantly worse than it's predecessor.

Dearest Obama / Orlando Luis Pardo Lazo
Barack Obama, behind, channeling the corpse of Hugo Chavez
The presidents of the USA have been a taboo subject in Cuba for 55 years. The image of the Bad Imperialist can only be authorized by the top propaganda authorities of the Communist Party (the only legal one on the island) or, when appropriate, by the very Council of State. The idea was to depersonalize and discredit all the men of the White House (the documentary pamphleteer Santiago Alvarez embodied the vile vanguard of that mission). The external enemy has to be artificially animalized, to be slain just the same as one more internal opponent. Only in that way, by a simple media comparison for the eyes of a captive audience, would the elevated image of our Maximum Leader shine brighter in our hearts.
Fidel the future, Eisenhower the fossil; Fidel the strapping, handsome proletarian, Kennedy the bourgeois little asshole; Fidel the internationalist warrior, Johnson the international warmonger; Fidel sincere to the bone; Nixon scandalously phony; Fidel the perpetual comrade; Ford this year's fleeting model; Fidel the pitcher, Carter the catcher; Fidel the still-young star, Reagan the nearly senile stuntman; Fidel in the "Special Period in Times of Peace," Bush the bombings of post-perestroika; Fidel celibate, Clinton promiscuous; Fidel the horse, W. Bush the jackass; Fidel the dove who has been robbed several times of his Nobel Peace Price, Obama the white hawk with a blackbird's feathers (the official Cuban press racistly accused him of betraying his own race). continue reading
After nearly a decade of being censored in Cuba (in spite of receiving the clear signal and being invaded by Cuban personnel), the TeleSUR channel started to be free in Cuba as a gift from Raul in the New Year. Now it's not just the pirate patch of Walter Martinez on tape, savoring the Bolivarian mush to the illiterate and fanatics of the continent, but rather, since January 2013, it's finally Mr. Barack Obama, live and kicking on every TV in Havana.
And, to the confusion of everyone at home, it turns out that the skinny kid from The Mulatto House in Washington doesn't shout, nor present a threat to the public with his hooked fingers, nor wear a military uniform, nor spend hours and hours giving speeches to the millions and millions of his Babylonian nation. To top it off, the guy looks like a citizen and, as such, talks about urgent environmental concerns, about minority rights (representing the local LGBT community better than our National Assembly), or social projects that don't need another half-century of sacrifice (while at the same time the police authorize a protest against him).
In my surveilled neighborhood of Lawton, after seeing this unheard of thing—a civilian president who does not preside in perpetuity—there were those who made the joke that the next People's Power electoral ballot should include an extra box to check for "Deputy Obama." I should publicize that humorous story online. OK, now I've done it here.
If I were the Cuban government, I would not take so lightly the symptoms of satisfaction or scorn for our socialism within the Cuban neighborhood. And, just in case, I would prepare one more chair in the Palace of Conventions. The slogan of the plebiscite of the Castros to the Castros in 2018 could well be this:
Cuba, Obamaness is coming!

The Ferry At Last! / Rebeca Monzo
For many years, a ferry in our country served as a practical and economic means of communication between Havana and Key West (Cayo Hueso). It was heavily utilized by those people who travel with their automobiles, to facilitate movement to other places after arrival at the destination. This was only up to the year 1959, when everything changed dramatically.
Again, after 56 years, the exchange of travel by ferry with the United States of America has been reestablished, this time with certain limitations: people cannot come to our city accompanied by their cars and at the moment only certain people can utilize this means of transportation: Cuban citizens resident in the US and those on the island, and those Americans that qualify for cultural, sports, scientific, academic and other types of exchange. continue reading
Upon learning the news, the Cuban population has proved to be somewhat disconcerted with these limitations, because they haven't been given any explanations in this regard. I supposed that this is due, fundamentally, to the lack of infrastructure in our ports to receive these vessels transporting automobiles, the necessary legalization of the use of American and Cuban license plates and driver's licenses and the deficiency of supplies to deal with the rapid increase in visitors.
As a friend who works in tourism told me, recently a large cruise ship arrived and the travelers descended to visit the historic center of Old Havana and, in a flash, the supplies of bottled water and beer were exhausted. What does the administration think about confronting this problem, an administration that right now is mired in severe shortages in the shops, markets and businesses of our capital?
As always, the opening measures seem to surprise the Government that says it is working on it "without haste but without pausing*." I imagine that, with the prices and salaries of our country, in spite of the ferry, many more flimsy and clandestine boats will continue leaving, loaded with Cubans "without a visa but in a hurry."
*Translator's note: A phrase from a speech by Raul Castro ("sin prisas pero sin pausas") describing the regime's approach to "updating" the economy.

To the Government supporters: "You showed your trashy ways" / Rebeca Monzo
Image of the pro-government supporters taken from the Internet
Rebeca Monzo, 15 April 2105 — The 7th (of April) arrived. The Summit of the Americas in Panama and, with it, the invited and participating delegations started to arrive in the Central American country. The official Cuban delegation, one of the largest, had a good time organizing and preparing, under the optics of the totalitarian regime, making up a series of NGO officials, with the objective of making themselves look like the only Cuban civil society.
The inconceivable and unacceptable thing was to send characters well-known as loyal to the regime, pretending to make them pass as members of this civil society. Among them, just to mention the most known, was Dr. Eusebio Leal, the historian of Havana, Miguel Barnet, President of the Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba (UNEAC) and Abel Prieto, Adviser to President Raul Castro who, along with many others chosen, lended themselves to serve as bullies in the famous meetings of repudiation against the Cuban opponents, real members of nascent civil society, insulting them and even sometimes, hitting them and preventing them from leaving through the front door of where they were staying, having to remove them safely from the hotel by the kitchen and the backyard of the property.
These acts, absolutely unacceptable, have set a terrible precedent in front of governments of other countries, the international press, who have remained amazed before similar acts of marginality, vulgarity, and lack of respect to the host country. As my friend Mary would say: "They showed their trashy ways," confirming with their deplorable attitude what the opposition from within the island has been condemning for years.
As if these abuses of power were not sufficient, they have tried to monopolize Jose Marti, as if he doesn't belong equally to all of those born on this battered island.

White Flag to the Regime in Havana? / Jeovany Jimenez Vega
By: Jeovany Jimenez Vega — Those who advocate the elimination of the mechanisms of political pressure to which the Cuban government remains subject — I mean basically the United States Embargo and the Common European Position — often wield as a fundamental argument the alleged climate of reform undertaken by Raul Castro during the last few years.
One can suppose that this oversized expectation had its roots in the profound and systematic stagnation that characterized the big government of Fidel Castro, because the incorrigible bearded man became the extreme social framework in an immutable and absurd style that would have been impossible for anybody after him to modify in any way without it being perceived as a relief.
But if we accept the obvious premise that since 1959 one government has existed in Cuba — since it has already shown that in essence the mandate of Raul, with all its sweetening, has not been more than the prolonging of the mandate of Fidel — we can assume also, with a solid level of certainty, that the psychology of the regime continues to be exactly the same.
That drives us to a logical question: Would one expect that, in the case of these sanctions being lifted, that this olive-green oligarchy, at last, would grant the long awaited rights continue reading
provided by United Nations Covenant of Civil and Political Rights, as well as Economic and Cultural Rights, whose ratification and implementation Havana has kept has a pending topic since February 2008?
The optimists would return to the idea of the Raul Castro reforms, but anyone who can make a more thorough approach to these alleged "transformations" will find that very few have actually represented a practical change, one which would have a beneficial and immediate impact in the life of Cubans on the island.
But we work from very good faith — which our counterpart has not deserved — and we accept that among these measures, some represent a more drastic and positive change than do others; among these the freeing up of the right to travel outside the country and the authorization of the purchase and sale of homes between native-born people.
We cannot forget, nevertheless, that the emigration reform has been in force since January 2013, stipulating that some professions are not permitted to travel freely, "…in virtue of the rules intended to preserve the skilled labor force…"; nor can we scorn that it also establishes as "…inadmissible…" for anyone accused by the Cuban government of "Organizing, encouraging, carrying out, or participating in hostile actions against the fundamental economic and social policies of the Cuban state…" to enter the country, "…When reasons of Defense and National Security are so advised…" and that the government considers that they should "… Be prohibited from entering the country, for being declared undesirable or thrown out."
It is made more evident by the wide margin of maneuverability that this delicious tool for coercion leaves the repressor.
As for the authorization for the sale and purchase of homes, let us remember that the act has just recently foisted a series of annoying regulations of prices, that results in a return to the government's hand, interfering where it isn't called for — to remind us that here good things never last too long.
Now, a look at the rest of the package certainly will show definite signs that reveal suspicious edges in these so-called "reforms." Because it is really very difficult to accept the sincerity of these measures such as the "authorization" to buy used cars at astronomical prices; or the corrupt focus on the management of cooperatives like the transport ones, for example, that leaves it members (never owners of their means of working) with a useless margin of autonomy; or the imposition on the rest of the small business owners of unfair fees on prices or excessive taxes and the non-existence of a retail market that would supply them with the most basic primary materials; or all the limitations that make ever more evident the failure of the policies undertaken in the agricultural sector, as well as the refusal to liberate the management of the livestock farming sector while slaughtering and/or selling a cow continues being a capital sin that in Cuba one still pays for by up to 20 years in prison.
These are, among others, current evidence and premonitions that cast a shadow over our overall state in the short and long term and seriously put into question the will of the Cuban government.
But still more serious than the immutability of these "trivialities" of an economical nature, is the persistence of the repressive policy that continues fomenting that lethal duet: Communist Party-State Security. It is from the offices of what continues to be the only legally recognized party that the strategy, then executed by the henchmen in the street, is drawn up.
Today in Cuba arbitrary detentions persist and the most abject precariousness of due process guarantees — bastard daughters of the lack of division of powers — continue to perpetrate with impunity the beatings and repudiation rallies against opponents, without any authority protecting them so that they can avoid it.
Hitmen are ordered to stab the opposition leaders and suppress women who don't bring arms but carry white gladioli in plain view.
They persist in a strong and absolute censorship of dissident thought by means of an absolute monopoly over the means of broadcasting and all types of press, and in addition, they veto any access to the Internet for the people and it is already the 21st century.
Therefore, we can conclude that in Cuba the "changes" that they have produced are insubstantial and skin-deep, purely cosmetic, nothing that heralds a real opening up to anything that sounds remotely like democracy.
If, in the end, this new mediocre generation isn't capable of offering anything different, it would be more than logical to doubt its future good intentions or its capacity to conceive a scheme for real prosperity, and very much less so if the formula, whatever it is, includes moving away from the known path.
It is completely questionable that these "reforms" reflect a sincere attempt at opening the doors for the Cuban people to the potential that a globalized economy offers today. It is more coherent to think that we are observing delaying maneuvers that only serve to perpetuate the same people always in power.
Should the international community, the Cuban people and the internal opposition decide to offer a vote of confidence and give way: at what point would they offer guarantees that they would later ratify and implement the Human Rights covenants, and would that produce an immediate opening for democracy? Here all logical reasoning leads to the conclusion that this would never happen.
To revoke the sanctions now, would be translated into nothing more than an immediate oxygenation for the regime, without excluding, of course, its repressive mechanisms. It would not become a more efficient Cuban government from the economic point of view but would simply have more resources within its reach to squander and rob, to fatten still more the millionaire accounts of it oligarchs hidden abroad, and even to ennoble its delusions of grandeur.
The beast has already tasted blood and will stop at nothing. An autocratic government like that of the Castros, once it has released its instruments of political pressure and with the tacit approval internationally that this would imply, would never ratify the human right covenants but, on the contrary would probably repress more viciously than ever dissident thinking but from a much more comfortable position than previously.
This octogenarian generation that subjects the destiny of my country to its whims is definitely out of step with the needs of my people. No original protest has yet affected its dusty epaulets. These neo-burgesses will never consider a dignified exit from the poverty and inequality into which they have plunged us, because they know that this would mean an end to their privileges.
If history teaches us anything it is that unwise concessions, or those made at the wrong time, over the long term do more harm than good to the people who mistakenly assume them, and it also teaches us that there are definitely people who never change, and the pleiade that now leads this country according to their testicular fickleness is an excellent example.
The three decade marriage with the former Soviet Union made clear that the Cuban people will never be the final destiny for these riches; and if history proved that at that time why would we assume it would be different now when the indolence and corruption of the government are higher than ever.
To extend this blank check to the totalitarian government in Havana, and at this precise instant when its better half is tottering in Caracas, without the slightest sign of friendship to the internal opposition nor the recognition of our civil rights–as most recent events have pointed in the complete opposite direction–and without even having ratified and implemented the already signed United Nations covenants on civil and political rights as well as those on social and cultural rights, would be a catastrophe in strategic terms for the Cuban people and possibly delay, for many more decades, the coming of democracy for the long-suffering Cuban nation.

I also demand / Jeovany Jimenez Vega
By Jeovany Jimenez Vega
For the mere act of having been born a man, to be thinking, already implies in inalienable right to express myself freely without waiting for the permission of another man.
Because my right of freedom of assembly and association are provided for by international agreements recognized by the civilized world, and these agreements are found to be above the decision of the dictators that try to continue enslaving the mind of my people with its out of date demagoguery.
Because the universal right of peaceful protest implies that the streets and plazas that belong to all Cubans and not to that group that tries to set themselves up as the only owner, that group that tries to monopolize the street only for the "revolutionaries." continue reading
Because if a real revolution is progression, dialectical forward, 180-degree turn forward, then the retrograde breed that from the power hinders the progress of my people today doesn't deserve anything but to call themselves counterrevolutionaries.
Because more than 50 years of monologue from an undeserved altar already was too much and today it is its turn before the jury of the people of Cuba, to the betrayed, today has arrived, finally, the offended's turn.
For all this, I also demand:
That the Cuban government ratify and immediately and unconditionally implement the International Covenants on Civil and Political Human Rights and Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights that it left pending as of February 2008.
That the Cuban authorities officially recognize the existence and legitimacy of the Cuban opposition, and consequently call democratic elections where the entire spectrum of the plurality of thought of Cuban society is represented.
That an effective separation of powers be established. In this sense, it would be essential that the People's Supreme court, highest authority of judicial power, stop being under the Council of State, highest authority of executive power, so that the judges of the People's courts being affiliated with the Communist Party of Cuba would be prohibited, something that would favor their credibility in the impartial exercise of justice.
Let it consequently stop the harassment, persecution or any type of repression of any individual group that tries to express its political position publicly and peacefully, as well as stopping the arbitrary detentions of civic activists that represent a dissident proposal.
That the Communist Party of Cuba and Cuban State Security stop organizing the sad infamous acts of repudiation, which are profoundly damaging to the dignity of those that they perpetrate, as well as unequivocally noxious to the public morality; consequently those acts become considered as a body of crime by the existing Penal Code, at which moment will be sanctioned under the law as they have always been: authentic acts of vandalism, that include invasion of the home and/or aggression and danger to persons.
That it establish an appropriate legal framework that guarantees a full freedom of the press and total access and without censorship to the Internet as means for the exercise of our freedom of expression, from which all can, without fear of being punished for it, to propose a better way of changing these ruins that we inherit in that nation that we have, as the first law of the republic, the cuban worship of the full dignity of man.
For all these reasons: #YoTambiénExijo

The First Intelligent Step / Rebeca Monzo
In these eight years that have passed since Raul Castro was designated by his brother as his successor, to take up the government of the country, this 17th of December, a date of only religious significance for the Cuban people until now, will go down in the history of our island as the most transcendent act of these last 50 years, by the announcement of the reestablishment of diplomatic relations with the US.
The previous steps taken by him as president, such as the liberalization of travel, selling and buying homes and automobiles, establishing small private businesses and others, are nothing more than the return of usurped rights to citizens, by the same regime that will soon reach fifty-six years in power. continue reading
Among other fundamental factors that may have influenced the Cuban side, I consider: an economy in crisis without real hopes of improvement; little foreign investment; the exodus of young professionals and the wear and tear and aging of the adult population; among many others that are part of an endless list. We can add to those the low price of petroleum, that has been arriving generously from Venezuela, and that could fail to turn up at any moment.
Two countries that have joined together to come to an understanding, that necessarily should continue to develop further, to get Cuba out of the economic and social abyss that it finds itself.

Digressions on "With You, Bread and Onions" / Rebeca Monzo
Among the films presented at the Festival of New Latin American Cinema, which began here on the December 4, is one entitled With You, Bread and Onions. In a recent interview on the television program Afternoon at Home, the director Juan Carlos Cremata commented that he had decided not to submit his film for judging because he does not believe in competitions like this. Nor does he believe there are good films and bad films, nor good and bad actors and directors.
If he does not believe in prizes or in what they represent, then why is he making movies? Why did he accept the "crappy housing" he was given in Nuevo Vedado which, according to "wagging tongues," was a reward for his film Chamaco? I swear I almost had to be tied to my seat just to get through that dark, sordid tale. At least it was not a theater seat; fortunately I made the sacrifice at home, watching it from my armchair on a rented DVD.
With You, Bread and Onions, which I have not yet seen, is based on a play by Hector Quintero, though I doubt much can be expected of this film. The title recalls an old Cuban expression which gained popularity at a time when onions and bread cost only a few cents. It referred to a romance taking place in extreme poverty.
Saying this today would connote something extremely expensive, what with a pound of bread costing 10 CUP (Cuban pesos) and a half an onion at least 70 CUP, much more than the daily wage of the average worker.
So the meaning of the phrase has changed a lot, as have the social values lost during these last 54 years of survival.
In Cuba There are Fewer Rural Schools Than in 1958 / Dora Leonor Mesa
The urban centers have been submitted to systematic closure since 1973, although the worse period has been under the Government of Raul Castro.
In 2012, in the Las Tunas town of Majibacoa, the People's Power delegate Sirley Avila Leon put a face on a grave national problem: the constant reduction of schools on the part of the regime in Havana, due to, among other causes, the demographic situation, and the country's economic reality.
Ávila León suffered all kinds of pressures when she complained about the closure of the only school in her area. Then, there were few general facts about the dismantling of one of the Castro regime's propaganda pillars.
Today, the figures speak for themselves, even those that the National Office of Statistics conservatively publishes. According to the study group Foresight Cuba, that investigates and contextualizes the official data, the number of schools increased at the beginning of the 1960s, but decreased rapidly starting in 1973-1974.
From that moment on, there has been a systematic closure of schools, with a great acceleration since the year 2007. During the course of 2013-2014, there were 9,482 schools functioning, the study indicated, based upon government data.
Primary Schools — as much urban as rural — increased from 7,567 in the period 1958-1959, up to 15,547 in 1974-1975. "From this moment on, they started to decrease to 6,842 in the period 2013-2014. The government of Raul Castro has accelerated the closure of schools; in the period 2008-2009 there were 8,999 primary schools. "
The languishing country
The biggest decrease was in the number of rural schools, "Now there are fewer rural schools (4,729) than in 1958, when there were 4,889″ facilities in these areas, added Foresight Cuba.
"It is something that I have seen here where I love, in the municipality of Song-La Maya (Santiago de Cuba)", assured the ex-university professor Hergues Frandin. "For example, in La Meca, Alto Songo, they closed the school and now the children have to travel up to 8 kilometers on foot, back and forth."
Dora Leonor Mesa, president of the independent Cuban Association for the Development of Children's Education, indicated that many rural schools are located in remote areas, with only one or two students.
"There is an important population decrease, that influences the quantity of students of school age. In these rural areas, different levels study mixed together in the same classroom", explained Mesa.
Foresight Cuba also remembered that in the 1990-1991 school year, there were 2,70 functioning secondary schools in the country, but since then, the number has decreased to 1,941 in the school year 2008-2009. After that, somewhere around 500 schools were closed, and in the school year 2013-2014, there were only 1,434 middle schools.
Amending Fidel Castro
The statistical series reveals that the number of higher education schools increased from 3 to 68 throughout these years.
The 3,150 universities created in the school year 2005-2006, in the context of the propaganda program known as "The Battle of Ideas", they were also mostly closed during the 2008-2009 academic year. Today, only 122 remain.
"The enrollment in the municipal sites was reunified in central universities, due to the deficit of teachers and material conditions" said Frandin. In this case, the ex-professor indicated that "It's a good thing that they have been removed, because it didn't make sense to have universities in the municipalities".
In summary, and taking into account that some facilities have been closed because of being in very bad condition, Dora Leonor Mesa pointed out that "Cuba really never had good schools".
"A good classroom should count on technology and capable professors, as well as friendly conditions for the child. That does not exist in Cuba", she concludes.

Unidentified Coiled Objects / Rebeca Monzo
To the astonishment and concern of patients, one day there appeared in the ceiling of a surgical recovery room in the old Charitable Clinic (now renamed the Miguel Enríquez Hospital by the government in honor of a Chilean doctor killed during the Pinochet dictatorship) a coiled, yellow animal or vegetable entity that was visibly growing and getting fatter. A few days later another one appeared and then another, exhausting the patience of those confined to the room.
After repeated complaints by patients and family members, two hospital employees finally arrived armed with a ladder, brushes and paint. In one fell swoop they knocked the three unidentified coiling objects from the ceiling, quickly applied a few strokes of paint to the area where the objects had appeared and then left.
No one later came to investigate the cause of these apparitions nor did anyone fumigate. Everything was simply covered up with paint.
Just a few years ago I was caring for a friend who had just had surgery and was in recovery in the Institute of Nephrology Surgical Hospital when I suddenly heard a commotion behind the drop ceiling. To my astonishment the regular patients told me with a striking calm and acceptance, "Don't worry, ma'am. It's just the cats chasing the rats!"
According to the United Nations, our country is among the top ten healthiest on the planet. This, as well as daily incidents of sanitation problems and lack of maintenance that affect our hospital facilities — the exception being those exclusively for top government leaders, their family members and foreign patients — demonstrate that both the visitors and the workers of this world-renowned institution, whether there as a guest or working permanently in our country, resign themselves to what the government tells them to do and don't bother to look for anything more than that.
The patients from the same old hospital, are still waiting to be informed about the cause and origin of those unidentified coiled objects.

Centers of Love Become Victims of Apathy / Rebeca Monzo
Colorful Butterflies kindergarten
"Today day care centers celebrate their fifty-second anniversary. These institutions continue fulfilling and improving their mission so that work in education might be more profound and efficient…"
So begins an article published in Juventud Rebelde on April 10 of this year. It goes on to provide a brief history of how the first such institutions began in our country in the early 1960s. It reminded me of how I first got involved in this work through the direct request from a friend.
For a year I did "volunteer work" by myself in a big space in which they provided me with abundant and varied material, making fabric dolls as well as various articles for the home. These would later be auctioned in a raffle which took place on property owned by the Ministry of Foreign Commerce. The goal was to raise funds for a day care center on the ninth floor of a building on 23rd Street where a lot of women worked.
Finally, a year later they were able to bring the project to fruition as a result of many important donations from companies who had entered into negotiations with the ministry as well as my own modest contribution. I also remember actively participating in the decoration of center's facility.
What I noticed was how this article ignored some of the real reasons for the deterioration and subsequent closure of many of these centers, whose construction had been such a noble goal.
A couple of years ago I was having a conversation with the director of Colorful Butterflies, a kindergarten next door to my house which my two sons attended. I asked her about the visible neglect of the center, and she told me it was due to low enrollment. After reading the article in Juventud Rebelde, it occurred to me that this was perhaps one of many causes, the main one being the lack of resources provided to the these institutions in addition to neglect and lack of maintenance.
"At the moment there are 45,000 applications pending and 46 institutions in the country have been closed — 40 in the capital alone — all for construction problems."
This is how it was stated in one of the paragraphs from the article in question. We should, therefore, hold the government responsible for the current state of these buildings, which were built in great haste and in excess by people who had no experience in this kind of work to fulfill the usual quotas, not to mention the failure to provide stable funding for their subsequent maintenance.
Additionally, the ever more apparent lack of personnel qualified to work with children has led parents to take their children to private homes which, until a very short time ago, functioned in a kind of clandestine limbo. There is an ever increasing number of self-employed workers who take up this work now that they have a license to do it.
In the face of the importance and magnitude of the problem, since families don't have sufficient resources to leave their children in private day care, due to poor salaries and not possessing another type of stable source of income, the government has implemented a new type of plan: "Educate your child", that is being developed in some communities, offering guidance to the family to stimulate and adequately look after the little one, with the objective of achieving integral development and preparation for the start of the child's school life. We hope that this plan, like many other before it, will not languish on the road. Ladies and Gentlemen, love must be attended to!

New Emigration Measures / Aimee Cabrera #Cuba
By Aimée Cabrera
New emigration measures take effect on the 14th of January of this year. Passports can be requested at Identity Card and Population Registration Offices, of Immigration and Immigration Matters; also from the Ministry of the Interior of the provinces of Artemisa, Mayabeque, and the municipality of the Isle of Youth. There are 195 office in the entire country.
Now when you have to go to change or get the identity card, you have to get into a line of a thousand hells, they complicate everything, never doing anything so that "the lower ones feel attended" — as someone from the capital municipality of Plaza noted.
The Ministry of Labor and Social Security carries out, together with the institutions of the State central administration, the process of defining which citizens are subject to the regulations established in the Decree 306/12, in which one can upgrade passports without the holder being present.
Minors under 18 years of age and disabled will be able to upgrade passports without a fee, in accordance with Resolution 43 of the Ministry of the Interior. The parents and legal representatives also have to show the identity card of the minor, and an authorization formalized before a notary public.
If one or both parents, or the legal representatives are outside of the country the formalized authorization is presented before a corresponding consular officer; if one of the parents has passed away, the death certificate must be shown, as must the judicial resolution when one of them does not have parental authority or it has been suspended.
The increase in requests for passports for the desire to flee the country, where no one can adequately prosper, is remarkable. While this measure constitutes an opening, it is not for all. Cubans that belong to illegal groups or from the opposition continue waiting to be able to emigrate and admitting the obstacles imposed by the offices that provide these services.
"I don't want to stay, I want to travel where I desire and return to my homeland, for people that want the same as me, I don't see anything in writing, nothing more than negative", expressed a worker in the tourist sector.

Cubans Throughout the World / Rebeca Monzo #Cuba
Upon arriving in this corner of France and reuniting with my family, whom I had not seen for seven years, I had the great pleasure of receiving a visit from the son of a very dear friend, whom I had first seen when he was born. Later on, as you might imagine, the subject of the far-off homeland came up, as well as the problems and frustrations that come with abandoning, almost against your will, the place where you were born. This is his case.
This Cuban is not resigned to remaining in forced exile. Life has played him some dirty tricks, so he is undocumented here. They cannot repatriate him, as he would like, because Cuban authorities repeatedly refuse him entry. The last time he was in Cuba, he remained in prison for four months for refusing to leave the country.
This man, who is still young, has two names and a head, so he never stops thinking about the misery to which his homeland is subjected. He has dedicated his free time — which unfortunately is all that he can do since he does not have papers and can work only sporadically — to investigating Cuban issues in-depth.
I was truly impressed when he showed me photos, articles and a wealth of details, to which we Cubans on the island do not have access, regarding the strange accident in which Oswaldo Payá and Harold Cepero were killed.
For this reason I am uploading the video that my friend provided for your consideration.
Site manager's note: This video is not subtitled but here is a summary of the contents: The person speaking, a friend of Rebeca's, is Israel Alejandro Cabezas González. He has put together the evidence he shows in the video, with regards to the death of Oswaldo Paya and Harold Cepero in a car crash. He believes that the photo of the car — driven by the Spaniard Carromero — was "fixed," that is altered, and as a point of comparison he offers a photo that appeared in the Spanish press. He says that the official report of the crash was prepared to match the "fixed" photos.
Using Google maps he shows where the crash occurred, and the little collection of houses located 2 km before the crash. He believes that the "operation" was planned there and that the "supposed ambulances" were already waiting there.
The farmer speaking in he video says he was biking from the nearby town to the rice fields where he works, the entrance to which is directly across from the crash site. While he was biking a car passed him and he saw the dust cloud, based on which Alejandro estimates he's about 1 km (half a mile) from the crash. By the time of the crash he was just meters away and arrived there in 2 to 3 minutes. He said people were already there taking each of the 4 men out of the car.
The person speaking in English is Jan Modig, the Swede who was in the car. He says, "The second memory I have is that I found myself in some sort of ambulance," which means it wasn't an ambulance… it was 'sort of an ambulance'. Alejandro also says the foreigners were saying "why did you do this to us?" and he believes it was a huge premeditated operation to kill them.
He says they took "the Swede" and Carromero (the Spaniard who was driving) away separately and they didn't know what happened to Oswaldo Paya. Paya was sitting where he received the direct impact from the crash, but that he served as a sort of 'airbag' for Harold Cepero who ultimately also died. Alejandro says that since they were being hit from behind everyone was wearing their seatbelts [the official version is that they were not] and that Harold was alive after the crash; he had a very small fracture of the femur.
When they arrived at the hospital — Alejandro goes on to say — State Security kicked the regular doctors out of the hospital and brought in "G2" military doctors, and that he hopes Cepero's body was not cremated because he did not die of natural causes.
Alejandro's personal version of what happened was that somebody who was G2 (State Security) infiltrated Carromero and Modig's visit and told G2 where they were going. G2 followed them from Havana and also there were more G2 agents waiting for them in the collection of houses, where everything was prepared, including the ambulances and doctors.

The Blue Card / Rebeca Monzo
There is not much that is new in the new immigration law. Nonetheless, it has raised expectations among a wide swath of the population: retirees, homemakers, students who have not gotten past the ninth grade, the unemployed and the elderly, to cite a few.
In one paragraph, the much-publicized law mentions that medical technicians are also subject to the burden of having to wait three years from the date of a passport request or the extension of an existing passport without regard for the time they have been out of the workforce. This measure not only discourages the prospects for travel, but—and to me this is the greater danger—it also discourages the desire of people to continue with their studies. Once they have completed the ninth grade, many abandon the classroom for good.
This has been going on for many years with respect to university careers. Many quit before graduating, or simply never begin their studies in the hope of being able to travel someday. The same thing is happening is less specialized fields of study. This is leading and will continue to lead to an even greater lowering of the country's educational and technical standards, which have already been significantly eroded.
Logically speaking, it remains to be seen whether or not those fortunate enough to be granted a long-awaited passport will be approved for a visa by the countries they hope to visit. In this way the Cuban government, like Pontius Pilate, can wash its hands of the matter, placing the blame on others as usual.
Ladies and gentlemen, make no mistake. This new emigration law seems more like a new, more-sophisticated Mariel, but one that is organized and controlled by the state.

1, 2, 3, 4… The Census! / Rosa Maria Rodriguez Torrado
Logo downloaded from "radiorebelde.cu"
The Antillean archipelago's authorities say that "In Cuba, we all count", and that's why from the 15th to the 24th of September all of the homes of the country will be visited to gather census information. I understand that the census is a statistical operation that should be carried out every 10 years and that it is important for determining, among other things, the number of people who make up a group or state. Also,it is a primary source for obtaining other basic social, economic, and demographic data about a society. But I ask myself, who accounts for the Cuban emigrants dispersed throughout the world that are part of our nation?
In recent days, an "information supplement" on the Population and Housing Census, published by the National Office for Statistics and Information, appeared under my door. It explains to citizens what the "mission" of the census is and shows the questionnaires that the data collectors, called enumerators, will fill out. Among the notable items is question 16, which asks how many land lines and mobile phones there are in a residence. As the only telephone company that provides service to all Cubans living on the archipelago, doesn't ETECSA, which also happens to be state-owned,have these figures?
In this census task, like in the two previous ones carried out by the government,there will be inquiries regarding the condition of the houses and their construction and general characteristics.I hope this will result in some benefits for society! Because there is no use knowing, for example, the serious problems existing in the houses and in their maintenance(that is already well-known and we have been putting up with them for years, because the necessary resources have not been assigned to them), if a sustained constructive assistance is not designated and assigned to the renovation and rehabilitation of the impoverished housing inventory in Cuba.
I remember the first time the government carried out that statistical task.It was in the 70s, when they had more than a decade in power.It's been ten years since the last census and the results were not made known to the population, let alone did they produce any benefits or improvements in the average Cuban's life. Development and efficiency are not achieved with state inquiries, but with the political will of governments, with real motivations for the citizens and incentives in all spheres of society. That should be a natural and systematic practice, attentive to the law and always directed to the benefit of everyone, not just a group. Modernity is not reached just with information or by decree.
It is good to keep control of our inputs and outputs, whether they be material or intangible, individual or collective. Every demographic investigation relating to the totality of people by province, municipality, city or different urban and rural areas — by sex and age, average educational level, marital status, active working population, etc. — is important for the development of government policies. On this occasion, they mix the population census with "the short-term and medium-term economic and social plans especially for the appropriate guidelines for the Party's and the Revolution's economic and social policies". This opportunistic mixture conjures up in my mind, like an animated cartoon, a leader who without planning lies down on the bottom of his political boat to try to patch or plug the holes in the bottom with his body. Because he is being left without extremities…
For a militarized society, deformed by this government in the degrading tradition of having to have even one's underwear counted when one is going to emigrate, to have "regulations" about what one should eat or wear, to have someone decide what one should read, to "be transported" generally according to the needs and interests of the state, to be watched by those in charge of one's block or by the police, to have someone predetermine what radio stations one should listen to and what TV channel one should watch, whom one should disregard and whom one should believe, in the end produces a population sunk in a sustainable defenselessness and indolence, unaware of its rights, and as a result, easier to subdue and direct.
So let's count: 1, 2, 3 at the dictatorship's "conga-line pace"*, for whose manipulations and campaigns to stay in power indefinitely, but not for the exercise of our fundamental freedoms, "in Cuba, we all count".
*Translator's note: The original Spanish is a quote from an old Cuban song.

Accessing the Internet in Cuban Churches / Cuban Legal Advisor, Yaremis Flores
By Lic. Yarmis Flores
Liu, reader of this blog, asked the Office if Cuban churches one can have access to the internet. Since 1996, the Cuban government, has been clear about its policy with respect to full access to internet services, in Decree 209 of the Council of Ministers, "Access from the Republic of Cuba to Information Networks of Global Reach."
The island's government established its proposal to guarantee full access to the Internet, but in a regulated form and acting in the national interests, giving priority to the connection of people in the judiciary and the institutions of the most relevance to the life and development of the country.
All the users with access to the internet on the island, be they Cubans or foreign residents in Cuba, need authorization from the Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC).
In addition, the IP address has to be registered (the only addressing protocol of the Internet, assigned to each machine or device found on the network) and they are controlled by the Agency of Control and Supervision of the MIC. Penalties are imposed on those who don't comply with this requirement, like the removal of the license to be an Internet user.
It is not recommended to access the Internetsecretly, because if the authorities suspect some irregularity in a church or religious group, an order is not required to carry out a search, because Article 217 of the Law of Legal Procedure establishes that "To enter and search a temple or other place intended for a religious group, handing a messageto the attention of theperson in charge is all that is required."

Song of the Day #3,329: 'Girl (Live)' – Elvis Costello vs. The Beatles
Our second Final Four matchup is a battle of London lads: Elvis Costello vs. The Beatles.
A nice connection here, as Costello has been a die-hard Beatles fan since he was nine years old and 27 years later teamed up with Paul McCartney to write an excellent batch of songs that both men released on future albums.
Costello made it here by beating Carly Rae Jepsen, John Mayer and Michael Jackson in the first three rounds, then toppling the resilient Taylor Swift with 78% of the vote. The Beatles defeated Shakira, Ben Folds and Lyle Lovett before besting Randy Newman with 75% in Round Four. Quite a gauntlet.
This half of the Final Four is identical to the one I arrived at when running through these brackets solo. That means three of the final four artists in the community version match my own picks. Great minds think alike!
This is truly a matchup without a loser. I'll be thrilled to see either contestant advance, and saddened to lose the other. Both are top five artists for me and have been for a very long time.
I've been a Beatles fan longer. Like a lot of young people, regardless of generation, I discovered the Fab Four in my teens and gobbled up their catalog until I knew it by heart. Once, during a lazy 9th grade summer, I typed out the lyrics to every one of their songs. By ear, on a typewriter.
It's with the spirit of that 14-year-old kid that I'm voting for the incomparable Beatles today, even against one of the greatest singer-songwriters ever.
[Note: An earlier version of this post featured a performance of 'Penny Lane' by Costello at the White House during Barack Obama's presidency. I later realized I had featured that song on the blog before — a big no-no! — so I replaced it with this song.]
Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl you want so much
It makes you sorry
Still, you don't regret a single day
Ah girl
Girl, girl
When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her
She will turn to me and start to cry
And she promises the earth to me
And I believe her
After all this times I don't know why
Ah, girl
She's the kind of girl who puts you down
When friends are there, you feel a fool
When you say she's looking good
She acts as if it's understood
She's cool, cool, cool, cool
Was she told when she was young that pain
Would lead to pleasure?
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back to earn
His day of leisure?
Will she still believe it when he's dead?

I need to step back from the contest for a moment to note how wonderful it was to have Obama as our president for eight years for a million reasons, one of which was his appreciation for the arts and the way in which artists embraced him. I can't imagine anyone other than Kid Rock or Ted Nugent playing for our current Embarassment-in-Chief. Sad!
Anyway, back to the contest…of course I've been a fan of The Beatles since I was probably in diapers, but what you describe occurring for you as a teenager – becoming a fan as a teenager and gobbling up the records – was exactly what happened to me with Costello. The only other artist having that same impact on me also made the final four of this contest – Billy Joel.
So for me, the vote goes to Costello, though I too will be happy to see either advance to the championship round.
As Daniel said a few rounds ago, it would have been special and unexpected to see a worthy but often under appreciated artist such as Lyle Lovett become the winner of Montauk Madness, as any generic poll might produce a result with Dylan or The Beatles as the winner.
Still, now that foolish voters have ousted Lovett from the contest, there is nothing left to do but demonstrate why the Beatles often do end up with that crown.
Yes, they influenced countless artists but not without continuing to make a powerful impression on those young people who came along long after they were first making their music, I watched both my brother and my daughter go through similarly obsessive Beatles phases decades (and then decades plus!) after that music had first been released.
As Daniel also said in a post earlier in this contest, we don't have the luxury of time having already passed to be able to "prove" that a Taylor Swift, say, will have a lasting appeal (though I'm willing to place bets that my future grandchildren will one day be singing along with her songs).
With the Beatles, no such projection is necessary. We know that their music continues to resonate generation after generation. It is not to reward them for having stood the test of time but to recognize how meaningful their music had always been that I cast my vote for the inevitable winner of this here contest… the Beatles.
Beatles all the way!
The Cool Guy (Daniel) says:
I don't necessarily have a dog in this race anymore. Billy Joel is the closest artist still in this competition to my favorite artist, whereas I wouldn't put the other 3 even in my top 10. That being said, as Amy said, I did make a comment a little whiles back saying I think the competition would be boring if The Beatles and Bob Dylan were the final 2. 2 that could be considered the favorite artist by anybody on the street. Perhaps, that means that their rightful place is in the top two. However, I will continue to do what's in my power to make this competition reflect a more unique perspective. Therefore, in that vain I will vote for Elvis Costello. A truly under appreciated artist who is one of the best songwriters out there. He masterfully has worked his way through many genres throughout his prolific career, all the while only on few occasions receiving the audience to correspond with the quality. Here I will try in my small way to rectify that by voting for him.
Dana, thanks for stepping back! One day before the best inauguration ever, the best speech ever and the most visited inauguration ever I read about the problems that DT had to find musical support (Nugent, I was a fan, sorry, I was 15 years old…). My first thought was confirmed the other day: Toby Keith…
Back to the contest. Beatles, Costello, Dylan, yadda yadda, I don't care who wins, Lu and Tift won my heart many years ago, I am faithful😉

New Nintendo 2DS XL Review
By Shaan Joshi @KneehighPark 3 years ago
Review of: New Nintendo 2DS XL Review
Shaan Joshi
Reviewed by: Shaan Joshi
Last modified:July 19, 2019
Nintendo's latest hardware revision is the perfect buy for those looking to dive head first into the platform's excellent collection of games.
While many Nintendo 3DS owners are quick to completely ignore the system's 3D capabilities, I've always been a fan of the system's unique take on stereoscopy. That partly has to due with my love of disruptive technology. Despite the high costs that are usually associated with new tech, I'm usually an early adopter of new gaming hardware, from VR headsets to the original 3DS.
Over the past six years, it's been interesting to see exactly how the Nintendo's 3DS has been adopted (or abandoned) by fans and developers alike. Most of my close friends and colleagues never use the built-in 3D, either due to a lack of interest, the effect it has on battery life and in-game performance, or its rather rigid viewing angle. On the other hand, developers have largely eschewed any mechanics that are reliant on the system's 3D display, with some games completely ditching support entirely. Nintendo themselves have towed the line when it comes to 3D support; while they did develop a new "super-stable" stereoscopic mode for the New Nintendo 3DS, some of their first-party games lack any 3D implementation at all.
Enter the New Nintendo 2DS XL (naming conventions have been a little rough this decade). A sort of middle-of-the-road hardware iteration, the New Nintendo 2DS XL is priced in between the premium New Nintendo 3DS XL, and the budget Nintendo 2DS. To the casual onlooker, Nintendo's new revision might seem like it has nothing going for it, but that's actually the system's greatest strength. The New Nintendo 2DS XL is all about the games; rather than focusing on unused tech or kid-friendly design, it embodies the best of the Nintendo's flagship handheld line.
Despite the "New" in the title, it's worth noting that the New Nintendo 2DS XL refers to the system's processing power, which is in line with handheld's 3D counterpart. This means that you get the added benefits of a faster CPU (which lets some games run more smoothly), as well as a C-stick and a pair of additional shoulder buttons. While there are only a small set of games which take advantage of the additional hardware, these inclusions are a welcome addition, especially since some games benefit from a second analog 'stick' when it comes to camera control. The biggest change (as you might have surmised) is the lack of a 3D display. Although this might sound like a dealbreaker, in actuality, very few 3DS games truly benefited from using it in the first place.
Size wise, the New Nintendo 2DS XL sports a 4.9 inch screen on top, along with a 4.2 inch resistive touchscreen on bottom. For the most part, these screens can get fairly bright on their maximum setting, though anecdotal evidence suggests that all New Nintendo 2DS XLs feature twisted neumatic (TN) panels. The system utilizes the same clamshell design that Nintendo has been using for over a decade, but unlike some models, this new revision features a close-to-perfect seal when both halves are closed. Coupled with the matte finish (which doesn't attract fingerprints compared to glossy models), and the New Nintendo 2DS XL is quite the looker. For those who are fans of amiibo (Nintendo's take on scannable figures), you'll be glad to know that the system comes with a built-in NFC reader.
There are a few odd design decisions that are immediately noticeable, though they are far from being dealbreakers. The system's speakers have been relocated to the bottom edge, which can cause a slight rattle depending on how you hold it. The included stylus is also pathetically short, and those with average (or larger) hands might find it cumbersome to use for extended play sessions.
There are some upsides to the revised hardware though. The Nintendo 2DS XL is noticeable lighter than its 3D brethren, and it's also a tad thinner to boot. The cartridge slot has also been moved to the bottom, with a plastic hinge to protect it from the elements (and from unintended removal). The microSD card is also housed here, which is a godsend compared to older models, which required unscrewing the back plate in order to access memory cards.
Many will be quick to downplay the faster CPU and extra RAM, but as a longtime 3DS user, the added processing prowess of the "New" line of handhelds is a noticeable improvement, both in and out of games. Navigating through the menus and user interface is snappier, and digital downloads don't take nearly as long. The stronger hardware allows for certain games to run (such as Xenoblade Chronicles 3D), as well as SNES titles via Virtual Console. The C-Stick is essentially a requirement for games like Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D, and while it takes some time to get used to the limited range of movement, you won't want to go back to a single analog stick after long.
All in all, the New Nintendo 2DS XL is a fantastic hardware revision from Nintendo, and it's easily the go-to system for those looking to experience the vast and diverse range of 3DS games. While there's not much of a reason to upgrade if you already own a New Nintendo 3DS XL, those who have yet to take the plunge (or those who are still rocking an older handheld) should look no further. Despite all the attention that the Switch is receiving, there's still plenty of reasons to stick with Nintendo's dedicated handheld platform.

On the brink of a disaster
Mercury pollution of India
New Delhi, November 7, 2003: Mercury, a very toxic and dangerous substance, has severely contaminated land, water, air and the food chain throughout India.
At a conference recently organised by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) on mercury pollution in the country, Dr R C Srivastava, co-chairperson of the United Nations Environment Programme's (UNEP) Chemicals Working Group, said that mercury contamination in India is reaching alarming levels largely due to the discharge of mercurybearing industrial effluents ranging from 0.058 to 0.268 milligram/litre (mg/l). This is several times more than the prescribed Indian and WHO standards of 0.001 mg/l (for drinking water) and 0.01 mg/l (for industrial effluents).
Compiling all studies of mercury monitoring done by government agencies, research institutions and NGOs, CSE has mapped the regions that are critically polluted by mercury in India*. What the map shows is very distressing:
High levels of mercury in fish stocks have been found, mainly in coastal areas. Mumbai, Kolkata, Karwar (in Karnataka) and North Koel (in Bihar) are some of the severely affected areas.
In Mumbai, mercury levels in fish were 0.03-0.82 mg total Hg/kg dry weight (dw); crabs had 1.42-4.94 mg total Hg/kg dw mercury compared to the permissible limit of 0.5 mg/kg.Mercury levels in oysters in Karwar ranged from 0.18-0.54 mg/kg dw.The North Koel river showed mercury concentrations almost 600-700 times above the limits.Mercury in ground water and surface water was detected from across the country: Delhi, Mumbai, Vadodara, Vapi, Ankleshwar, Bhopal, Panipat, Singhrauli, Ganjam, Dhanbad, Durgapur, Howrah, Medak… the list stretched on endlessly.Levels higher than the permissible limits were found near chlor-alkali, cement and chemical units and thermal power plants
The chlor-alkali sector, the biggest known consumer of mercury in India, released about 79 tonnes of the toxin into the atmosphere between 1997-2000. According to Dr Srivastava, chlor-alkali industries located on river basins in eastern India have released 60-320 times more mercury than the permissible limit into the rivers.

Persuant to Section 54 Part 6 of the UK Modern Slavery Act of 2015
Public statement August 2019
Blis is committed to maintaining the highest standards of professional business conduct and personal ethics. This statement is made pursuant to Section 54, Part 6 of the United Kingdom's Modern Slavery Act 2015 and sets out the steps the Company (as defined below) is taking to ensure that slavery and human trafficking is not taking place in its supply chain or any part of its business ("Statement"). This Statement has been approved by the Company's Board of Directors ("Board").
Organisation Structure:
Blis Media Limited is a company incorporated in the United Kingdom. Blis operates globally through a number of subsidiaries and it divides its operations into three main geographical areas: UK/Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA + MENA); Asia Pacific (APAC); and The Americas. It has offices throughout the world and the locations can be found on Blis' website. Blis conducts its business in the UK via Blis Media Limited (a company registered in England and Wales with Company Number 06455773 with Registered Office at 21 Soho Square, London, W1D 3QP, referred to as "Blis" or the "Company" in this Statement).
Our Business:
The Company provides real-world intelligence to the world's largest brands and media agencies. The employees of the Company are generally skilled and educated workers employed under standard contracts. All employees in the UK undergo an interview process before an offer of employment is made. We also obtain references from certain prospective employees, as appropriate. Our Supply Chains In relation to the Company's supply chain, given the high tech nature of our business described above the Company's supply chain is ostensibly for the provision of office and IT equipment to facilitate our work environment (offices) and data partners, together with professional services from law firms, accountancy firms and other professional service organisations to help our operations in the UK. We have identified possible risks relating to cleaning services, and the Company therefore only engages large and reputable organisations to supply such cleaning services to the Company.
Steps Taken To Prevent Slavery and Human Trafficking:
Blis considers that the risk of slavery or human trafficking occurring in either its own business (given the general level of education of the workforce outlined above) or in its supply chain to be negligible. Blis places obligations on its employees to act in accordance with all applicable laws and, given the assessed level of risk of modern slavery or human trafficking occurring either in its business or in its supply chain.
The Board of the Company will review the content of this Statement and the risk profile of Blis' business in this area on an annual basis and, if deemed necessary, order that Blis' internal policies/procedures are updated as appropriate pursuant to the perceived change in level of risk. If any such changes are made, the contents of this Statement will be updated accordingly.

- In the west of Mexico is the founder and former drug lord of La Familia Michoacana murdered. That is one of the most powerful drug cartels in the country.
The body of Carlo Rosales Mendoza, also known as El Tísico, was found along with three other bodies along the highway in the state of Michoacán. According to the Prosecution, there are gunshot wounds and signs of abuse detected.
Rosales Mendoza founded the first cells of the criminal organization in the eighties. He was a good friend of Osiel Cárdnes Guillen, former leader of the notorious Gulf Cartel in Mexico. For organized crime and drug trafficking Mendoza had been a prison sentence of ten years in jail. Nothing is known about the circumstances of the murder.

EPO Enlarged Board of Appeal Decision G 3/19 and the patentability of plant and animal products in Europe
Technical Tips September 2020
EPO Enlarged Board of Appeal (EBA) Decision G 3/19 decision sets out detailed and fundamental principles for interpretation of the law relating to the patentability of plants and animal products in Europe in the context of changing political and legislative circumstances. It is notable because it essentially overturns a previous decision of the EBA, uses a form of legal interpretation not previously adopted by the EBA, and discusses the powers of the Administrative Council (AC) of the EPO to amend the European Patent Convention (EPC).
Following new decision G 3/19, plants or animals exclusively obtained by means of an essentially biological process are no longer patentable in Europe. Significantly, G 3/19 reverses the conclusion reached by the EBA in earlier combined EBA decisions G 2/12 and G 2/13 ("Tomatoes II" and "Broccoli II").
Combined EBA decisions G 2/12 and G 2/13 were published in 2015 and related to the relevance of Article 53(b) EPC to the patentability of plant products obtained by the excluded "essentially biological processes". In those decisions, the EBA stated Article 53(b) EPC did not exclude such products from patentability, other than plant varieties specifically.
However, Rule 28 EPC was subsequently amended by a decision of the Administrative Council (AC) in July 2017 to include an interpretation of Article 53(b) EPC under new Rule 28(2) EPC. The amended rule states, under Article 53(b) EPC, European patents shall not be granted in respect of "plants or animals exclusively obtained by means of an essentially biological process". This clearly conflicts with the EBA's interpretation of Article 53(b) EPC in G 2/12 and G 2/13.
The EBA in G 3/19 has affirmed the earlier Enlarged Board decisions, but has also stated the situation is different now than in 2015 when G 2/12 and G 2/13 were published, because of the amendment to Rule 28 EPC to explicitly exclude plants or animals exclusively obtained by means of an essentially biological process. Given this changing context and to allow for continued legal certainty for patent applicants and third parties, G 3/19 will only be relevant to patent applications filed on or after 1 July 2017, i.e. the date of entry into force of the AC decision.
In addition to overturning an earlier EBA decision, G 3/19 is notable because the EBA considered a "dynamic" interpretation if the EPC. Under a "dynamic interpretation", it is accepted that considerations may arise after a treaty is signed that might give reason to believe a literal interpretation of the provision's wording would conflict with the legislator's aims. We believe this is the first time the EBA has used this approach to law interpretation. The EBA noted the amendment of Rule 28 EPC means "the legal and factual situation underlying decision G 2/12 has substantially changed" (para XXVI.4 of G 3/19). The very fact that this Rule was amended "allows and indeed calls for a dynamic interpretation of Article 53(b) EPC" (para XXVI.7 of G 3/19).
G 3/19 is also interesting because the EBA confirmed the competence of the Administrative Council (AC) to amend the Rules of the EPC. Some have argued this may have expanded the powers of the AC since the EBA in G 3/19 did not take into account the fact a decision by the AC to amend the Articles of the EPC requires a unanimous decision from the member states, whereas amendment to the Rules only requires a three-quarters majority (see Articles 33(b) and 35(3) EPC), yet clearly amendment of the Rules can have a direct impact on the effect of the Articles (cf the amendment to Rule 28 EPC, and the direct effect on the interpretation of Article 53(b) EPC in this case).
This decision can be considered a "win" for bodies advocating for farmers and the plant-breeding sector in Europe, but may serve as a frustration for those in the Agricultural Technology sector, who might legitimately wish to obtain patent protection for their products. However, see our practice points below for how best to avoid the exclusions to patentability, even in this more challenging legal context.
For a more in-depth discussion on this decision, take a look at our longer article on this topic here.
Practice points:
Claims to specific plant or animal varieties are not patentable in Europe, but broader claims, e.g. to a species, are patentable – G1/98
Claims encompassing essentially biological processes for the production of plants or animals are not patentable in Europe – G2/07 and G1/08). This exclusion is not limited to methods for the production of plant or animal varieties, but applies to methods for the production of any plants or animals. Note an "essentially biological process" in the context of the production of plants and animals refers to the step of sexual crossing.
For applications filed before 1 July 2017: claims to plant products obtained by excluded essentially biological processes are patentable in Europe, except for claims to plant varieties obtained by such processes – G2/12 and G2/13.
For applications filed on or after 1 July 2017: claims to plant products or animals obtained by excluded essentially biological processes are not patentable in Europe – G3/19.
The exclusion to patentability for method claims (and product-by-process claims) can be avoided by including a step of a "technical nature" in the step of crossing, which introduces a trait into the genome or modifies a trait in the genome of the plant produced, whether that technical step is relevant to the invention or not - G2/07 and G1/08.
The exclusion to patentability for product claims can be avoided by seeking claims broader than a specific variety, provided the claimed product is not exclusively obtained by an essentially biological process (alternative protection is available for plant varieties, but not animal varieties).

Hint: It took nine hours.
At the AMAs, Selena Gomez shocked us with platinum blonde hair that her colorist Nikki Lee called "Nirvana Blonde." It was such a big change for Selena, who's been brunette for as long as we've known her, we suspected it was a wig. But it's real, Lee told Us Weekly — and it took nine hours to create.
"Being that this was the first major color change Selena's ever done, it was important to us that her hair remained healthy and the tone was right for her skin," Lee explained. "The vibe is 90's chic and she named the color #NirvanaBlonde."
The look required so much effort that a second stylist, Riawna Capri, worked on it at the same time. "It took nine hours, about 300 foils, and eight bowls of bleach, all with two stylists working together simultaneously," she wrote on Instagram. "It was a nice long patient process of baby fine slices, then going back and opening each foil and reapplying, but done in one sitting. Anything is possible in one day, it just takes time, no other clients ha, and patience to maintain the integrity of the hair."
Point taken: Nirvana blonde is not for the faint of heart. Bleaching your hair is a time-consuming process that can cause damage, so if you're going to undergo a transformation like Selena's, invest in products like protein packs and hair masks. Selena uses Pantene's Radiant Color Shine 3 Minute Miracle Daily Conditioner to reduce damage. "Now that Selena is blonde, it's so important to keep her hair moisturized, strong, and healthy," said Lee. "This keeps her rooted creamy blonde healthy and Selena can rock this new fresh look just in time for the New Year!"

Q: Stored procedure to delete duplicate rows I need help to fix my problem:
create procedure dbo.spDelDdup
(@field1 nvarchar(50)= null,
@field2 varchar(50),
@tblName varchar(50))
as
BEGIN
WITH CTE (@field1, @field2, Duplicate_Record_Count) AS
(
SELECT
@field1, @field2,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY @field1, @field2 ORDER BY @field1) AS Duplicate_Record_Count
FROM
@tblName
)
DELETE FROM CTE
WHERE Duplicate_Record_Count > 1
END
I get an error:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure spDelDdup, Line 91
Incorrect syntax near '@field1'.
Would be nice to fix my problem
A: You need to use Dynamic SQL as below:
You have also declared @field1 as optional parameter which you need to manage it, however it is a bit strange. But if this is exactly what you want, please leave a comment, so that I will update my answer based on it.
create procedure dbo.spDelDdup
(@field1 nvarchar(50)= null,
@field2 varchar(50),
@tblName varchar(50))
as
BEGIN
Declare @q AS Nvarchar(max)
Set @q = N'WITH CTE ('+@field1+', '+@field2+', Duplicate_Record_Count)
AS
(
SELECT '+@field1+','+@field2+',
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY '+@field1+','+@field2+' ORDER BY '+@field1+') AS Duplicate_Record_Count
FROM '+@tblName+'
)
DELETE
FROM CTE
WHERE Duplicate_Record_Count > 1'
EXEC(@q);
END
You can also use sp_executesql too.

Why do a lot of Christians think it s okay to celebrate Halloween?
Halloween has changed over the years. It is no longer a pagan holiday. Nowadays it's been hijacked by children who have fun in costumes and get candy from their good neighbors. Grown up can also celebrate Halloween with costumes and parties to the delight of all.
I suppose you think that God is come kind of celestial Scrooge who gets upset when people are having fun.
Dr. D · 9 months ago
Let's see -- handing out candy to children isn't evil, and the Bible doesn't say that we can't. It's harmless, dear one. It's not like the children are participating in Satanic rituals. Lighten up and have a little fun, you misanthrope.
Publius · 9 months ago
Because it's fun for children to dress up and get candy.
jon pike · 9 months ago
Many simply view taking part in Halloween as harmless fun. Many are unaware or indifferent to the pagan origins of it symbols, decorations, and customs, most of which are related to supernatural beings and occult forces.

The 1910 edition of The Encyclopædia Britannica states: "All Souls' Day . . . the day set apart in the Roman Catholic Church for the commemoration of the faithful departed. The celebration is based on the doctrine that the souls of the faithful which at death have not been cleansed from venial sins, or have not atoned for past transgressions, cannot attain the Beatific Vision, and that they may be helped to do so by prayer and by the sacrifice of the mass. . . . Certain popular beliefs connected with All Souls' Day are of pagan origin and immemorial antiquity. Thus the dead are believed by the peasantry of many Catholic countries to return to their former homes on All Souls' night and partake of the food of the living."—Vol. I, p. 709.
The Encyclopedia Americana says: "Elements of the customs connected with Halloween can be traced to a Druid ceremony in pre-Christian times. The Celts had festivals for two major gods—a sun god and a god of the dead (called Samhain), whose festival was held on November 1, the beginning of the Celtic New Year. The festival of the dead was gradually incorporated into Christian ritual."—(1977), Vol. 13, p. 725.
The book The Worship of the Dead points to this origin: "The mythologies of all the ancient nations are interwoven with the events of the Deluge . . . The force of this argument is illustrated by the fact of the observance of a great festival of the dead in commemoration of the event, not only by nations more or less in communication with each other, but by others widely separated, both by the ocean and by centuries of time. This festival is, moreover, held by all on or about the very day on which, according to the Mosaic account, the Deluge took place, viz., the seventeenth day of the second month—the month nearly corresponding with our November." (London, 1904, Colonel J. Garnier, p. 4) Thus these celebrations actually began with an honoring of people whom God had destroyed because of their badness in Noah's day.—Gen. 6:5-7; 7:11.
Such holidays honoring "spirits of the dead" as if they were alive in another realm are contrary to the Bible's description of death as a state of complete unconsciousness.—Eccl. 9:5, 10; Ps. 146:4.
Because, All Hallowes Eve is a Christian celebration. Samhain, which is what Celtic Pagan celebrated is not Christian.

It used to be OK 50 y/a. It was just fun. Today the occult and witchcraft are big deals and Christians shouldn't celebrate Halloween.

NO ONE has given Bible Scriptures here which says that Michael 'an' archangel is Christ. No one proved that Mormon/JW doctrine true. True?

Our new SprayMax media can eliminate over-spray from equipment, ductwork and stacks, minimizing labor cost on clean-outs and minimizing pollution and potential EPA fines.
Long-lasting media requires fewer changes increasing time between change-outs thus reducing downtime. Because SprayMax media is capable of holding many times its weight without tearing or collapsing, it helps decrease operating costs.
SprayMax retains its shape rather than collapsing or pulling away from the walls and stops over-spray bypass by eliminating gaps.
Manufactured with polyester fiber, SprayMax can be disposed as non-hazardous waste depending on the application.

This is interesting: The Importance of Shared Silence . One of the causes of bustups between The Climber and me, and the one that was the catalyst for our last fight was him not talking enough to me. Or, to put it another way, me not liking extended silence between us.
He says he is a quiet person. He isn't, not particularly. And I'm not a particularly chatty person. I love being on my own. But when we are together, a couple of things can happen if we don't talk for a period - I can start to worry that there is something wrong with him, or I can start to worry that we aren't quite as in love as we were - that we're getting used to each other, maybe even bored with each other. These are both insecurities on my part, I know, but that doesn't make them any the less real.
But I do love silence sometimes. So, what I get from reading that article is that, if I can let go the worries when silence falls between us, I might actually begin to enjoy the silence, let my thoughts flow the way they do when I am alone and, who knows, we may even fight a little less!

Japan shifts course to tighten grip on cryptocurrency exchanges
FSA focuses on consumer protection as sloppy management comes to light

TOKYO -- Japan's financial watchdog is stepping up its oversight of cryptocurrency businesses following inspections that revealed their inadequate internal controls, shifting its focus from nurturing financial technology to consumer protection.
The Financial Services Agency on Thursday ordered two cryptocurrency exchange operators, BitStation and FSHO, to suspend operations through April 7. A senior executive at the former was found to have misappropriated customer cryptocurrencies, while the latter failed to appropriately monitor large transactions.
Neither exchange was formally registered with the authorities, as both predate enforcement of the law requiring registration and so are allowed to continue operating while they apply for official recognition. Another five operators, including two registered exchanges, were ordered to improve their operations.
Since February, the FSA has conducted on-site inspections at all 16 of Japan's unregistered exchange operators and some of its 16 registered exchanges. While these inspections are in progress, the probe so far has shown that systems meant to protect customer assets and data, as well as measures to prevent crimes such as money laundering, are utterly inadequate in most cases.
More reprimands are likely as raids on the exchanges continue. Three unregistered exchanges, including BitStation, have retracted their applications for registration and are expected to shut down.
Japan's Financial Services Agency reprimanded seven cryptocurrency exchange operators Thursday over security issues.
Japan became the first country requiring exchange operators to register with regulators when a revised fund settlement law took effect last April. The registration process is a good deal less rigorous than the permitting process that upstart banks and insurers must go through, letting new players enter the industry fairly easily.
Yet while the FSA was trying to nurture cryptocurrencies into a means of payment, the market saw them as prime targets for speculation. Traders seeking a quick profit sprang into action, flooding Japan's exchange operators with more funds than they were equipped to handle.
In principle, exchange operators are expected to possess the knowledge and corporate ethics of both the technology and financial sectors. But in practice, many put profit first amid the cryptocurrency boom, neglecting to put in place the business infrastructure required of a robust financial company.
The FSA said Thursday that it would establish a research group to study how cryptocurrency businesses should be regulated. Likely questions include whether to impose a limit on how long unregistered exchanges may operate or to limit leverage used when trading cryptocurrencies on the margin. The group will also consider regulation of so-called initial coin offerings.
"We're going to crack down for a bit to rein the industry in," a senior FSA official said.
Ultimately, regulators aim to craft regulations that match the reality of the cryptocurrency sector. Rather than encouraging expansion, the FSA's new priority is to ensure that customers can trade in cryptocurrencies without worrying about the systems they are using.
Japan is not alone in this. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday warned that many companies engaging in cryptocurrency trading are not registered as exchanges as required. "Many online trading platforms appear to investors as SEC-registered and regulated marketplaces when they are not," the regulator wrote.
Joachim Wuermeling, an executive board member of Germany's central bank, called in January for global regulation of cryptocurrencies, arguing that the borderless nature of digital society makes unilateral solutions difficult. Finance ministers and central bankers from the Group of 20 major economies plan to take up cryptocurrency regulation when they meet this month in Argentina. Japan is willing to offer its own successes and challenges, the FSA has said.

On 10 August 2012, American freestyle wrestler Jordan Burroughs was on top of the world. He had just defeated Iranian wrestler Sadegh Goudarzi in the Men's freestyle 74 kg finals to capture the gold medal at the London Olympic Games. He sought to repeat the accomplishment at the Rio Games, four years later, but unfortunately placed ninth in his event.

Burroughs was understandably devastated from the loss. "I've sacrificed so much to get here. I wanted to be among the greats. I wanted to be a Simone Biles, a Michael Phelps, nationally. I wanted to be those guys, and it's unfortunate," he said during the post match interview.
In an interview with Nebraska newspaper, Lincoln Journal Star, Burroughs' wife Lauren spoke about the wrestler's crushing disappointment, "He was just so broken. Nothing can ever hurt him as much as that did. Nothing ever again."
The loss knocked him off his feet, but didn't knock him out. The Olympic world champion absorbed the defeat, and the lessons that came with it, and kept moving forward with his goals.
It was hard to think about, because I had done everything right and it still didn't work. Up to that point I had always thought if you put in the work, you get the reward. But I realized that you can still do everything right and not be rewarded for it. But that doesn't mean you should stop trying.

Jordan Burroughs training routine & diet
On a typical training day, Burroughs' daily routine starts at 6.30am, before the rest of his family wakes up, to make his first first meal of the day: a green smoothie loaded with spinach, avocado, almond milk, seeds, turmeric, almond butter and plant-based protein powder.
"I try to eat an hour or two before I train," he told Men's Health. "I like my body to be relatively hungry—not full, not weighted down. I like to get the nutrients I need, but also still be able to perform at a high level."
At 9am, Burroughs heads to the gym for his first training session for the day. His training is usually a mix of conditioning routines — fan bike interval sprints and battle ropes — strength circuits with pullups and band presses, as well as lots of wrestling drills.
According to the Men's Health article, a typical conditioning session for Burrough has the wrestler working through the following list of exercises:
Fan bike interval sprints – 10 rounds, 20 seconds
Pull ups – 20 reps
Band step-and-press – 30 seconds
Chin ups – 20 reps
Band-resisted snap downs – 30 seconds
Battle rope alternating – 3 sets of 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off
Battle rope double slams – 3 sets of 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off
At 1pm he'll have a lunch break, usually a protein omelette with vegetables and fruit on the side, before heading back to the gym for his second gym session. For dinner, Burroughs will usually have some salmon with spinach and mushrooms, with sweet potato on the side.
"I really like to get workouts in early in the morning so I have time to spend the rest of the day with my family and enjoying the things that I love," he said in a Men's Health interview. Between the 2012 London Games and the 2016 Rio Games, Burroughs and his wife welcomed a son — Beacon born 19 July, 2014 — and a daughter Ora, born 11 June, 2016.
In an interview with WRCB, Burroughs opened up about the struggles of balancing his young family lifestyle with Olympic dreams. For instance, he no longer takes his beloved afternoon nap, which were a staple in his daily routine.
"I want my son and my wife to be in a certain position to be successful and happy. But I want to be the best wrestler in the world," he admitted. "Sometimes our dreams collide and intercede with each other. And it's not always fun to have those conversations and those moments where you're spending time elsewhere and missing important developmental years and stages of a child's life.

The Species Survival Commission (SSC) of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has been informed that the Government of Mauritius has decided to implement a cull of the Mauritius Fruit Bat (Pteropus niger) due to the alleged damage it causes to commercial fruit crops.
The IUCN SSC Bat Specialist Group (BSG) has closely followed the situation with Mauritian Fruit Bats for several years. In 2010 the ex-Co-Chair of the BSG, Professor Paul Racey, and the former Coordinator of the IUCN SSC Bat Red List Authority Coordinator, Mr Tony Hutson, visited Mauritius to discuss management issues relating to this species. They were able to have discussions with stakeholders, see the problem first hand, and provide advice. The Mauritius Fruit Bat is globally threatened, being listed as Vulnerable on The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species The threat status of the species was last assessed in 2013. The Mauritius Fruit Bat has shown substantial range contraction since it once also had populations on the islands of Rodrigues and Réunion. The remaining population on Mauritius is consequently very important and the implementation of a cull will very likely result in an up-listing of the species from Vulnerable to Endangered or Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, which will damage the reputation of Mauritius as a world leader on conservation.
1. The high level of damage to commercial fruit that it is widely claimed to be caused by the fruit bats is not supported by the results of the research. The damage caused by the bats is fairly low and most estimates that have been published in the press are likely compounded with the impacts of other fruit predators such as birds and rats. Preliminary analysis from the postdoctoral project indicates that fruits bats account for around 11% of the damage on big mango trees and 3% on small trees while birds are responsible for 0.8% on big trees and 8% on small trees. The majority of fruits on both big and small trees were lost due to physical (not biological) causes, such as being displaced by high winds, (20% and 13% respectively). It was also found that around 9% of litchi fruits in an orchard were damaged by bats, 16% fell to the ground due to over ripening and another 13% were already over ripe on the tree.
2. The impact of fruit predators other than bats also needs careful consideration, with more focus being given to three potentially damaging introduced bird species: the Common Myna Acridotheres tristis, Red-whiskered Bulbul Pycnonotus jocosus and the Ring-necked Parakeet Psittacula krameri. In addition to these, the impact of the very common Black Rat Rattus rattus and Long-tailed Macaque Macaca fascicularis also needs evaluating.
3. The claims that the Mauritius Fruit Bat population is increasing exponentially and now numbers over 90,000 individuals are unlikely. The disturbance-based counting method used for estimations is not considered best practice for survey and monitoring of colonial Pteropus species as it results in double-counting and inflated estimates. This is in addition to further multiple counting as bats disperse widely across Mauritius and a given individual may use several roosts. Surveys by the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation suggest a population closer to 50,000 that might now be at the maximum level that the current habitat can support.
4. There has been extensive experience of culling fruit bats in Australia, and it has been largely ineffective, since fruit bats are highly mobile and the killed bats are replaced by others from elsewhere.
5. A cull of bats raises welfare and ethical issues since it will inevitably result in injured animals. Moreover, any cull between August and December will coincide with the breeding season when there will be pregnant or lactating female bats. Orphaned young left behind in the colony will starve to death, an inhumane termination.
6. Any cull on a native species needs to be backed by appropriate information on population trends and fluctuations, and data on breeding rates so that the impact of the cull can be accurately predicted. These data on productivity and survival are not available for the Mauritius Fruit Bat. However, other species of Pteropus studied in the wild all have very slow rates of reproduction and population growth. Females can at most give birth to one young per year, pregnancy can last up to six months, and mothers nurse their pups for 3-4 months. Sexual maturity is not reached until the second year. These characteristics of large fruit bats, such as the Mauritius Fruit Bat, mean that populations are slow to recover from reductions and are then highly vulnerable to further perturbations such as cyclones. Tropical cyclones result in high levels of starvation and mortality, precipitating population declines of endemic island fruit bats that can exceed 95%. The Mauritius Meteorological Services reports an increase in the number of storms reaching tropical cyclone strength since 1975, and projects further increases in frequency and intensity of cyclones. Stable populations are critical if the Mauritius Fruit Bat is to withstand the mortality caused by cyclones.
7. The Mauritius Fruit Bat plays a critical role in the pollination and seed dispersal of the country's native flora, maintaining plant diversity in the heavily fragmented landscape of Mauritius. Mauritius has already lost two (Pteropus subniger and Pteropus rodricensis) of the three species of Pteropus that once contributed to these ecosystem services; viability of the native landscape now hinges on the persistence of robust populations of Pteropus niger.
8. There are more effective means of reducing fruit bat damage to crops than culling. Netting is by far the most effective and we congratulate the Government on the netting initiatives it is implementing. We urge that this approach is refined and extended.
9. We appreciate that the Government has been looking at other mitigation measures and we urge further studies looking at tree size reduction, framed net systems, use of panicle bags, deterrents and break crops which have been successfully implemented elsewhere.
10. We note from the post-doctoral study that there was significant wastage of fruit due to crops not being harvested early enough. This suggests that there may be opportunities for the more effective management of fruit crops.
It is appreciated that there is a conflict between the fruit bats and commercial fruit growing. The evidence we have examined indicates that bats are blamed for losses caused by other fruit predators and other causes. It is probable that the extent of damage caused by bats has been inflated by fruit growers and the popular press. Moreover, we note that in a recent study of attitudes of Mauritians towards fruit bats, over 80% of respondents did not support hunting or culling of bats, reflecting the fact that less than 10% of respondents held negative attitudes towards bats.
Mauritius has developed an international reputation for the high quality of its conservation which is based on innovative approaches and sound science. The work is often showcased, and Mauritius has been identified as one of the few countries where the declining trend in so many endangered species has been reversed.
The IUCN Species Survival Commission urges the Government of Mauritius to develop the management of the fruit bats upon the same kind of evidence-based approaches that have worked so well for other species in the country. The IUCN SSC encourages the Government to look for non-lethal solutions to the conflict between fruit bats and commercial crops, and is available to advise on this matter – specifically through the expertise of the Bat Specialist Group.

Today is 10 Days later an update to my baby bird story. As we were leaving for our Tuesday night meeting we heard a tiny chirping coming from the corner of our porch. Looks like at least one of the baby bird survived.
He couldn't fly very well , and he was staying close to the porch. His little legs were still wobbly.
He was trying hard to be friendly, but I think he was too scared. I got a quick snap shot of him. Is that a cute baby bird or what?
very interesting what happen to the rest of the birds?
They are under the bush in the front yard. When they see us they run under that bush.

I always get excited when I get to try new restaurants, or more importantly ones I haven't heard about … and are halal friendly! Win win!
I recently came across Kiri, a Japanese Restaurant just off Bond Street (opposite Drunch!) My friend and I headed there after a rainy shopping trip.. one of many! The interior is a small-mid sized space.. and whenever a guest arrives at the restaurant the host shouts something in Japanese and the rest of the service responds (in a similar shouting tone!) in Japanese … now I had no idea what they were saying but it sounded like fun nonetheless.
The service was really helpful.. the fact that I hadn't asked him about halal options but we had enquiries about it while booking was great. All the halal dishes were pointed out to us and explained. Now the dishes that are halal are pretty random. Some of the chicken, some of he steaks were halal but not all, this is because some contain alcohol.
We decided to go for a few mixed options.
The concept is small plates so no real starters or mains I guess (apart from steaks etc) so we ordered a bunch of dishes – Miso Aubergine, shrimp tempura and a whole lot of sushi, chicken teriyaki (but as the teriyaki sauce contains alcohol we opted for a yuzu sauce) and kimchi rice.
First … the Miso Aubergine wasn't something I was totally keen on because it fels a bit odd to be having aubergines when there are halal meat dishes to be eaten! But our lovely waiter was quite insistent so we tried it.. and so glad we did. It was great I loved it, I felt that the skin was a bit hard but the tastiness really took over.
For sushi, we got the salmon and tuna maki. The tuna was my favourite, it was crunchy and so tasty although at £12 for 6 pieces it was pushing it a bit in terms of price vs experience.
The shrimp tempura was nothing special, just a regular tempura doing it's thing in life, but nothing exciting – it was a mediocre dish or at least felt like it in comparison to everything else. I'd miss this one off next time round I think.
We got the Chicken Teriyaki but our waiter advised against the teriyaki sauce as it contains alcohol. He gave us an option of some alternative sauces and we went for a yuzu. This was one of my favourtie dishes, and I could have licked the plate clean if it was socially acceptable. The chicken was tender, juicy and so tasty! I can't remember the last time I had such succulent chicken – it was pretty dreamy! We got some kimchee rice to go with the chicken which was great on its own to be honest!
Now onto the desserts, there was nothing that really excited me about their dessert menu but nonetheless we went ahead and ordered 2 because you can't have a meal without a dessert! My friend got the chocolate mousse and I went for the ice cream – 2 flavours of green tea and black sesame seed ice cream. I absolutely loved both flavours, the green tea was just the right amount of tea-flavoured and the black sesame seed the right amount of sweet, what a great combo!
Overall, I absolutely loved this little gem of a place tucked away in the back streets of Oxford Street. I don't think there is anything that I could fault about this restaurant. I think I may have found my new favourite hideout. Although I have to say for 8 small dishes, I wasn't expecting the bill to be £85 (£42 per person). I know 8 dishes sounds like a lot and you're probably thinking i'm expecting too much for too less, but I guess the size of the dishes was not enough to warrant a £42 pp bill. Part from that I have to commend the service, everyone was so friendly, helpful and accommodating.
Overall, giving Kiri a total TLH score of 7 out of 10.

Kids always get attracted to many foods that they come across in their day to day life. At times they become so adamant and possessive to the extent that the parents have to buy them what they ask for like chocolates, pastries, sweets and much more. Over a course of time, the child's or the kid's teeth get infected with bacteria and there is every possibility for the teeth to get decayed. Since the kids are small enough and are under matured to understand things, it is the duty of the parent to know and educate the child about the oral care.
The parents should ensure that every child or kid get the maximum and excellent oral care in their childhood. It is the parent's responsibility to inform the kid about the oral hygiene and care required such that the kids do not face any sort of discomfort arising out of teeth problems.
There is a high risk among the infants or the kids when it comes to oral care. The most affected case among the kid is tooth decay which affects almost 5 out of 10 kids taken on average due to excess consumption of chocolates and other sweet products. Nowadays childhood teeth decay and cavities are increasingly occurring at early stages itself which have turned out to be one of the serious diseases that can rip the kid's teeth partially or wholly but it can be prevented by taking adequate safety measures. The kid will be facing a hell of pain when they have a pain in the teeth due to the presence of the cavity. One can only pity for them when such kid goes through a harrowing time as far the pain in concerned.
It is rightly said that preventing the disease at the initial stage is a good policy rather than regretting and curing it in a later stage which becomes an exorbitant task.
How to prevent early childhood cavities?
See to that the child follows a clean and correct brushing habit.

Q: At a loss as to why this simple jQuery AJAX script causes an error in IE7 <script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$('.update').click(function(){
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/reporting_results/mark_result",
data: "id="+$(this).attr("id")+"&check="+$(this).val()+"&user_id=<?=$user_id?>&product=<?=$this->uri->segment(3)?>",
});
return true
});
});
</script>
A: Because of a trailing comma, right before the end of your $.ajax options:
data: "id="+$(this).attr("id")+"&check="+$(this).val()+"&user_id=<?=$user_id?>&product=<?=$this->uri->segment(3)?>", <-- trailing comma, is why
A: Inside the $.ajax brackets, the this context changes to the ajax action. Can you verify that this is pointing to the original element that initiated the click event? I've done stuff like this before, and I remember needing to prefetch variables before entering the $.ajax block.
$('.update').click(function() {
var id = $(this).attr('id');
var value = $(this).val();
var product = '<?=$this->uri->segment(3)?>';
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/reporting_results/mark_result",
data: "id="+id+"&check="+value+"&user_id=<?=$user_id?>&product="+product
});
});
In javascript, the this reference can be very tricky at times, since it refers to the current javascript contextual object.

Mannequins might never have been so pampered as students styled hair, applied color and performed other tasks on the stand-in customers during the new cosmetology course at the Hannibal Career and Technical Center (HCTC). It was some of their first steps toward future careers.
The new Cosmetology I and Cosmetology II courses span two blocks each day of the week at HCTC, accounting for three hours of hands-on learning, said instructor Sarah Wittland. Students learn all the techniques necessary for a cosmetology certificate, coming from schools like Palmyra High School, Monroe City High School, Mark Twain Senior High School, Marion County R-II High School, Highland High School and Canton High School, said HCTC Director Brent Meyer.
Advisor Cindy Livesay said the program offers students the chance to take the cosmetology exam and receive a certificate without incurring college debt.
Meyer said there are 77 cosmetology schools in the state, and the new HCTC program is one of 11 that is part of a technical school.
Wittland said post-secondary cosmetology schools — like Advance Beauty College, which closed during the summer before the HCTC program began — can cost students between $16,000-20,000 in tuition, compared to the free HCTC course in which students plan to offer services to the public after Christmas break.
"To have them all finally get it on their own time is what's amazing as a teacher," she said. "And it's something that's going to help them succeed, and that's what I enjoy." The students looked forward to gathering experience in cosmetology and discovering what could be ahead.
Hailie Carter, a junior from Mark Twain Senior High School, practiced "foiling," a technique that offers highlights and lowlights of color for hairstyles. She learned how hair type and color choice can vary the results and how to perform the process step-by-step.
Raney Wilson, a junior from Palmyra, blow dried her mannequin's hair as she prepared to perform the foiling technique. She said the course has taught her various skills along with some knowledge about herself as a person.
Josie Zurweller, a junior from Monroe City, practiced coloring hair as Wittland offered her advice.
HCTC staff and faculty members will host an open house for the public from 4-6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 29 to celebrate the grand opening of the new Cosmetology program with a ribbon-cutting ceremony by the Hannibal Area Chamber of Commerce that will offer tours, cake and punch.

The Palm Desert community is full of people who are always outdoors. Day and night, the residents of the bustling desert city community go out of their way to experience life on the go. So any business that wants to reach these people needs responsive web design in Palm Desert.
Responsive web design in Palm Desert is a result of the breakneck pace in which technology advances. The web development industry struggled to keep up with the speed in which new devices with different sized screens are coming out.
It was simply impractical to accommodate all screen sizes and resolutions through the creation of multiple website versions, but website owners and businesses don't want to turn off visitors either. The solution the industry came up with is responsive web design.
The benefit of this kind of approach to design and development is manifold. For starters, the website can be delivered to any visitor in the way that the developer intended, regardless of the device or platform.
Another benefit is that the website developer only needs to maintain one platform. In the past, a mobile and a desktop version of a website needs to be coded and maintained separately, and the approach still can't cover all the available devices out there. Responsive web design in palm desert is all about streamlining the development process and reducing manpower overhead.
It is not just the proliferation of different devices with varying resolutions and screen sizes that needs to be accommodated. It is also the shift in the way users consume the Internet. The segmentation of users when it comes to device use led to a massive and ever growing userbase that does not follow a specific screen orientation – there are as many users who browse the web in a landscape view as there are who use portrait mode, and most of them switch from one to the other on a whim. Responsive web design is the only design philosophy that can accommodate this behavior.
This is particularly important in Palm Desert, because the residents tend to be prime targets for eCommerce but their browsing behavior leans more towards devices that are portable. The residents of this desert city community are easier to reach and engage with through mobile-friendly content, but many of them also access the Internet through their work or home PCs. Thus, a flexible and responsive website design is needed by any business that wants to succeed in the area.
If your website needs an overhaul, a responsive web design in Palm Desert is exactly what the doctor ordered. Blitz Marketing Group will give your business a much-needed boost and better online visibility. Contact us now and we will give you a FREE, no-obligation proposal.

In Missouri, the step-parent and the legal/biological parent may jointly petition the local Family Court for an Order of Adoption. The second biological/legal parent, if living, could execute a verified Consent to Adoption. The Consent to Adoption will be filed along with the Petition and if accepted by the Court, will terminate that parents' rights to and over the child and end any legal support or other obligations as well.
When the parties petition jointly the Court may waive the home study.
For more information on the process contact your Attorney Charice Holtsclaw at Heartland Law at 816-842-6700. Your first consultation is always free.

Flu season is mostly in the winter. Each year the flu is a little different because there are different types of flu viruses and they change over time. So, people can get the flu many times in their life.
A sudden fever (usually over 101°F or 38.3°C).
Chills and shakes with the fever.
Headache, body aches, and extreme tiredness.
Sore throat and/or dry, hacking cough.
Throwing up (vomiting) and loose, runny stools (diarrhea).
Children get sick quickly, often within 1 day.
Children usually feel very sick and achy.
Most children will need to stay in bed for a few days.
Flu is more common in the winter.
Children usually have low fever or none at all.
Children with colds usually have the energy to play and keep up with their routines.
Colds can happen any time of year.
Right away—if your baby is 2 months or younger and has a fever.
Within 24 hours—if your child is older than 1 year and shows signs of flu. The doctor may be able to treat the flu with an antiviral drug*. But this only works if your child gets the drug in the first day or two of illness.
Usually there are no serious problems with the flu. But sometimes your child can get an ear infection, a sinus infection*, or pneumonia*.
For a child older than 6 months, give either acetaminophen or ibuprofen*.
Both of these drugs help with fever. They are not the same. Be sure to get the right kind of medicine for your child's age. Follow what the label says.
Never give your child aspirin. Aspirin puts your child at risk for Reye syndrome, a serious illness that affects the liver and brain.
Check with your child's doctor before giving your child any other medicines. This includes over-the-counter cold and cough medicines. Antibiotics don't help the flu.
Don't smoke around your child. Smoke makes children cough and wheeze* more. And it makes it harder for them to get over the flu.
The flu spreads very easily, especially to children and adults who spend time with children. It usually spreads during the first several days of the illness.
Teach your child to cover his or her mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. Show your child how to use a tissue or a sleeve, not a hand.
Use tissues for runny noses. Throw them in the trash right away.
Avoid kissing a sick child on the mouth or face.
Make sure everyone washes their hands often.
Wash dishes, spoons, and forks in hot, soapy water or the dishwasher.
Don't let children share pacifiers, cups, spoons, forks, washcloths, or towels. Never share toothbrushes.
Use paper cups in the bathroom and kitchen. Throw them away after each use.
Wash doorknobs, toilet handles, countertops, and even toys. Use a disinfectant* or soap and hot water.
There are safe vaccines to protect against the flu. They come as shots and a nose spray. Ask your child's doctor what is best for your child. Most healthy children need a flu vaccine every fall. All their family members should get the vaccine too. Call the doctor in September to find out more.
These drugs are taken before the child is exposed to the flu. These are very important for children with serious health problems who have not had a flu vaccine.

Southeast Asia's Grab considering US IPO this year, sources say

Grab's initial public offering plans have not been finalized and are subject to market conditions, sources tell Reuters
Southeast Asian ride-hailing and food delivery giant Grab is exploring a listing in the United States this year, encouraged by robust investor appetite for initial public offerings (IPOs), 3 sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Grab's IPO could raise at least $2 billion, one of the sources said, which would likely make it the largest overseas share offering by a Southeast Asian company.
"The market is good and the business is doing better than before. This should work well for public markets," he said.
The plans, including the size of the issue and timing, have not been finalized and are subject to market conditions, said the sources, who declined to be identified as they were not authorized to speak about the matter.
Singapore-based Grab declined comment on the potential IPO.
Grab, whose backers include SoftBank Group Corporation and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, has expanded rapidly from its beginnings as a ride-hailing venture in Malaysia in 2012 to become the region's most valuable startup worth more than $16 billion.
The company has raised more than $10 billion as it becomes a one-stop shop for services such as food delivery, payments, and insurance in Southeast Asia, home to about 650 million people. It recently gained a digital bank license in Singapore.
Grab's total group net revenue jumped by about 70% year on year in 2020 and has recovered to be comfortably above pre-pandemic levels.
Moody's said this month Grab had cash holdings of about $3.2 billion, which the ratings agency "expects will be sufficient to cover negative operating cash flow, capital spending at its transport and food delivery businesses, and scheduled debt maturities over at least the next 2 to 3 years."
One of the sources said he expects Grab's IPO to raise substantially more than $2 billion as some of its long-term investors trim stakes and new investors come on board.
Grab has said its ride-hailing business is breaking even in all its operating markets, including Indonesia, the biggest. It expects its food delivery business to break even by the end of 2021.
The IPO plans would come after merger discussions with Indonesian rival Gojek were derailed.
Gojek and Indonesian e-commerce leader Tokopedia are in advanced talks for an $18-billion merger ahead of a potential dual listing in Jakarta and the United States, Reuters reported this month.
As consumers increasingly adopt online services amid lockdowns to prevent the coronavirus from spreading, investors are paying more focus on market leaders.
Grab caught global attention when Uber sold its Southeast Asia business to the company in 2018 after a costly 5-year battle and in return took a stake in Grab.
It now operates in 397 cities across 8 Southeast Asian countries and its app has seen 214 million downloads. Grab's food delivery business overtook the mature transport division to become the company's biggest segment last year.
"It's quite clear that investors are rewarding growth and market share," said the second source, pointing to a 15-fold surge in shares of Singapore-based e-commerce, gaming, and payments firm Sea since its 2017 listing in New York. – Rappler.com

Q: Progress Update in AsyncTask , Android I am new to android. I am trying to use asyncTask. I understand there is something called as onProgressUpdate.
I am downloading data from online server and total data is about 2000.
in Background Async I have done the following inside the for loop I keep publishing the value of I. something like this:
@Override
protected String doInBackground(JSONArray... params)
{
for (int i = 0; i < params[0].length(); i++)
{
//I DO MY BACKGROUND PROCESS
publishProgress(i);
}
return null;
}
protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... values) {
Log.e("Value", "onProgressUpdate - " + values[0]);
}
This actually prints count one by one until 2000. Now how would I make to show when the count in percentage. Like 1%, 2% till 100%.
Thanks
A: try this:
Use double value instead of Integer
protected void onProgressUpdate(Double... values) {
double percentage = (values[0]/2000)*100;
Log.e("Value", "onProgressUpdate - " + percentage+"%");
}
A: The formula is stated in the comments, but it is safer to calculate dynamically, rather than hardcoded to 2000.
AsyncTask<JSONArray, Integer, String> task = new AsyncTask<JSONArray, Integer, String>() {
private int maxProgress;
@Override
protected String doInBackground(JSONArray... params) {
maxProgress = params[0].length();
for (int i = 0; i < maxProgress; i++) {
//I DO MY BACKGROUND PROCESS
publishProgress(i);
}
return null;
}
@Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... values) {
Log.e("Value", "onProgressUpdate - " + (values[0] * 100 / maxProgress) + "%");
}
};

Kyra Wilder | Clarksville Sports Network - Clarksville Tennessee's most trusted source for sports, including Austin Peay State University.
Clarksville, TN – Inclement weather may have forced Austin Peay State University (APSU) track and field team to condense its annual home meet to a one-day, Friday, affair at Fortera Stadium, but the Govs seemed to rally around their circumstances and posted some of the best marks Austin Peay student-athletes have put forth in 2018-19.
Bowling Green, KY – Across the board, Austin Peay State University (APSU) student-athletes not only held their own at the Hilltopper Relays; the Govs posted some of their season's best performances and raised their profile as one of the area's best squads.
Gainesville, FL – Another day, another small but mighty contingent of Austin Peay State University track and field athletes battled the nation's best at the Florida Relays, Friday.
Gainesville, FL – A sprint contingent got things started for Austin Peay State University track and field team on Day One of the 2019 Florida Relays, which wrapped Thursday evening.
Kicking off the event, freshmen Tiyanna Johnson (24.67, 57th) and Kyra Wilder (24.86, 66th) both represented Austin Peay in the 200m dash, with Johnson turning in a career-best time in the event.
Nashville, TN – In one of the south's most prestigious meets, which often heralds one of spring's first beautiful days in the Middle Tennessee area, Austin Peay State University (APSU) track and field used the excellent weather to its advantage, posting top marks this weekend at the Vanderbilt Black and Gold.
Myrtle Beach, SC – If there was any concern for Austin Peay State University (APSU) head track and field coach Doug Molnar after the Govs took some time off following the 2019 Ohio Valley Conference Indoor Championships, those concerns were alleviated on day one at the Coastal Carolina Invitational, which kicked off Friday.

SCOTLAND'S Boat Show 2018 takes to the water and shore with a new, expanded layout and more attractions as thousands head to Kip Marina, Inverkip this October from all over the UK.
Meanwhile Inspiration Marine are also aiming for their biggest ever range of design-led Hanse yachts to be on display with the potential for more to be added as the show approaches.
Moving to a new waterside location, Marine Sales Scotland's powerboat offering promises a full range of boats for all budgets and interests including an expanded display of the popular Quicksilver Activ models.
Managing director Stan Prosser said: "Scotland's Boat Show at Kip Marina has firmly established itself as the most important show in the north and continues to attract more visitors from all over the UK year on year, with Marine Sales Scotland similarly enjoying increased sales each show." A new small boat area will feature Hartley Boats's flagship display of award-winning sport dinghies.
Building on last year's show, and with the aim of encouraging more people to get involved in boats and boating in Scotland for the first time, the ever-popular RYA Scotland pavilion moves to a new and larger site and showcases the latest marine and leisure products from UK-wide companies.
It's also the base for RYA Scotland's free taster sessions which allow visitors to try a short hands-on experience on yachts, motor yachts, rigid inflatable boats and sailing dinghies in the safe environment of Kip Marina under the expert eye of RYA Scotland's partners SportScotland National Centre Cumbrae, Ocean Youth Trust Scotland, Clyde Muirshiel Country Park and You and Sea Training.
More than 350 visitors took part in the sessions last year. RYA Scotland's new online booking service, available via scotlandsboatshow.co.uk aims to significantly increase the number of participants across all age groups and abilities.
For mobility-impaired visitors, Clyde Muirshiel will again be featuring the wheelyboat Discovery, sailing taster sessions will be available in the accessible Hansa 303 dinghies while Ocean Youth Trust Scotland will also have their yacht open for visitors to go aboard. Another popular visitor is the 60-foot Taeping, the first Clipper round-the-world race yacht, which will be welcoming visitors throughout the show for those wishing a closer view.
Back on shore the popular Sika Marine Stage and Theatre moves to the RYA Scotland pavilion and is the venue for three days of free lectures and presentations organised in association with the Cruising Association. On offer will be a series of subject themes ranging from the Cruising Association's expert's advice on sailing round Britain to sampling the fresh Scottish produce of Alba Seafood.
More undercover exhibition space is added for 2018 with the new Riverside Inverclyde Pavilion which is the venue for smaller boats, marine andleisure exhibitors, plus an expanded Kip Marina Chandlery and the new location for the Taste Inverclyde/Chartroom café.
The new car and motorhome area features cars from Porsche, Morgan, Mitsubishi and Lotus, prestigious motorhomes from Swift and luxury holiday homes from Cloch Caravans. There will be the opportunity to take a ride in an F1 Powerboat, courtesy of Gordon Cook Racing, or a helicopter flight over Kip Marina, viewing the stunning scenery of the Firth of Clyde with the team from Adventure001 -- advance bookings for flights and the F1 Powerboats will be available on scotlandsboatshow.co.uk.
The Clyde LifeStyle Pavilion will host more than 40 artisan craft and luxury goods exhibitors and everything from fashion to furniture. There will be food and drink exhibitors in the adjacent West College Scotland Food and Drink Pavilion plus the live demonstration theatre where students show off their skills using fresh Scottish produce.
Alongside this is the new Taste Inverclyde pavilion with displays from local food producers and providers, a food truck section and a covered outdoor eating area.
For the family, there will be pipe bands, the Inverclyde and Largs Rock Choirs, birds of prey from KG Hawks and a giant fun area for youngsters.
Holt Leisure managing director Gavin McDonagh said: "The Boat Show team have worked tirelessly to build on previous years' successes and, together with our key partners and sponsors, we are delighted to have established Scotland's Boat Show as the major event on the Scottish marine calendar for both our visitors and those involved in Scotland's marine and tourism businesses."
Scotland's Boat Show 2018 takes place on the 12, 13 and 14 October. Admission is free and car parking is £5 per vehicle.

Q: How to deep copy a hashmap when working with multiple threads In my application I have two threads. Thread 1 is transferring data to Thread 2. After the data is transferred the data in thread 1 is cleared within thread 2. Thread 1 goes on its merry way placing more data in the HashMap as it comes in to be transferred to Thread 2 later. In the meantime, Thread 2 does what it needs to do with the data. The code I have below is the part in thread 2 where that data transfer between threads happens. The entire application works just fine, but my questions is, is there a better way to make this copy of the thread 1 data for thread 2 without using the keyword new to create a whole new object?
I figure doing this might cause more garbage collections to occur? Should I not worry about this?
synchronized(this){
// Make a copy of the data map then clear it.
cachedData = new HashMap<String,ArrayList<Float>>(data);
data.clear();
}
A: Why not just:
synchronized(this){
cachedData = data;
data = new HashMap<String,ArrayList<Float>>();
}
This is similar to what you have, but involves no copying of the data.
I wouldn't worry about the new too much (not unless you can prove through profiling that it's a problem).
A: So if you are accessing this data HashMap from multiple threads then you will have to have a synchronized block on every access. Just because you are grabbing a cached copy here does not mean that other threads get to use the data without synchronization.
If you want to have concurrent usage of HashMap without having to synchronize around each usage then you should be using a ConcurrentHashMap.
The entire application works just fine, but my questions is, is there a better way to make this copy of the thread 1 data for thread 2 without using the keyword new to create a whole new object?
Taking into account the cautions I mentioned above, if you want to take a snapshot of a HashMap so you can work with the contents in a specific thread then the pattern you mention is fine and is often used. This pattern is also used when you need to iterate through a Collection and modify it inside of the loop but without doing an iterator.remove().
If you just need the keys or the values then make sure to take a copy of the data.keySet() or data.values() instead.

My genealogy Web site, which has been a bit neglected recently, is about to get a facelift.
Early feedback has shown that some of the changes I had in mind are indeed what people want. There has already been one excellent suggestion for a change that hadn't occurred to me, and I'm sure there will be more.

Home » About NLRB » Who We Are » Our History
The NLRB ventured into the labor relations arena of professional sports in a case involving major league baseball umpires. Since then the agency has played a prominent role in a number of cases involving sports that have gripped the nation's attention. The Board was widely credited with bringing an end to the 1995 baseball strike by securing an injunction under Section 10(j) of the Act requiring the baseball club owners to withdraw their unilaterally imposed changes to the negotiated system of setting wages in baseball. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, then a U.S. District Court Judge for the Southern District of New York, issued the injunction.
In professional football, the NLRB secured a $30 million back pay settlement in 1994, arising from the players' strike in 1987. The central charge by the National Football League Players Association was that the teams had unlawfully refused to allow the 1,300 returning striking players to participate in the games immediately following the end of the strike.
The NLRB also has sought temporary Section 10(j) injunctions against regional soccer and hockey leagues for engaging in unfair labor practices that undermined bargaining with unions representing players.

About Creche
Title: Creche
Author: Karin Cox
Genre: Fantasy / Paranormal Romance
Still grieving the loss of Joslyn and the Sphinx Sabine, and craving revenge upon Beltran, his Vampire nemesis, Amedeo the Cruxim is destined to learn more about his past in the sequel to Karin Cox's critically acclaimed gothic paranormal romance Cruxim.
When he meets a female of his own kind, Skylar, who takes him to the hidden stronghold of Silvenhall Creche to learn Cruxim lore, the secrets revealed in the holy book of the Cruximus, and the lies told to him by his own kind, force Ame to question who he is really is, where his loyalties lie, and whether there is anything he desires more than vengeance.
Praise for Cruxim…
"I highly recommend Cruxim to lovers of true gothic horror and paranormal genres. This story provides a fresh spin on old-world vampire lore. I will be stalking this author for the rest of this series and beyond!" Toni Lesatz, My Book Addiction
"I absolutely can't wait to read the next installment in this series, Creche. This, to me, is like the next Anne Rice series. There's a love story alongside some pretty gruesome and evil stuff. I like the contrast and the fact that both can live in harmony in a very well-written, character-driven novel. Bravo to the author, Ms. Karin Cox!" Kathy from Literary R&R
"I loved how the author was able to bring what was usually mortal enemies and have them work together to resolve the conflicts the characters encounter." Rachel at The Jeep Diva
"Cruxim is filled with passion, revenge, action, and love all mixed together to form this story that is unlike any I've ever read. The ending had me in near in tears, but now I have to find out what fate lies ahead for Amedeo in the next book!" Sarah Jones, Give it to Cupcake Blog.
"I fell in love with the Cruxim. Amedeo is like no other paranormal hero. He's not infallible. He bleeds, he grieves, he suffers in affairs of the heart and personal conscience. He must make choices that no man, or angel, should ever have to make. I recommend this debut novel by Karin Cox." Bestselling Author Carol Davis Luce
"I thought the blend of paranormal and mythology brilliant. The grammar flawless. The prose, poetic. If I could give this book a higher rating, I would. It is simply the most intriguing, creative and original paranormal I've ever read." Tara West from the Book Eclective
A wonderfully new, and fresh novel of vampire lore. A dark world of a wide range of oddities. It's a story that you must read to understand the complex array of characters, and the remarkable way that Ms Cox has woven this phenomenal world in which they exist in. Karin Cox is most definitely an author that I will and look forward to reading more of in the future." Anne from Angel Anne's Reviews
Karin Cox is an Australian editor and Whitley-Award-winning author. Since her first book was published in 2004, she has had more than 30 titles published across a range of genres, from children's fiction and non-fiction, to novels, to non-fiction social history, natural history guides, and educational and coffee-table books. She is the author of Cruxim (a gothic paranormal romance novel) and its sequel Creche, Cage Life and Crows & Other Beasts (both dark, literary short stories), Hey, Little Sister and Pancakes on Sunday (illustrated picture books), and Growth (an anthology of poetry).

I'm not sure if you have to be a curriculum junkie in order to be a homeschooler, but I do know that when you start teaching your children at home, there is a chance that you may become one.
It starts innocently enough: you need resources.

I received a question on my Good Report Card Freebies post that I wanted to take a moment to answer here.
The question was do those programs work for homeschoolers?
See the complete review in 102 Top Picks for Homeschool Curriculum .
Marie Rippel's All About Spelling has become one of the most popular spelling programs among home educators, so I was naturally curious about All About Reading since it correlates with All About Spelling for level one and above.
Home Study �Program requires state approval, but you are eligible for TOPS and participation in your local school activities at the discretion of the principal.
As a military spouse, I first came to Kansas not sure I'd find all that much to do here. You can imagine my happy surprise when I soon realized that there is so much to do and explore in Kansas as a homeschooler. All next week, and perhaps beyond, I'll be sharing with you my Kansas bucket list of the top 50 places we'd like to visit in Kansas before we move. I am sure we probably won't get to see all of them. But this intended to be a pretty thorough guide for anyone in Kansas so I included as many as possible.

Review: 'Left Behind' is a disaster in all the wrong ways
By Gary Goldstein
"Left Behind" should have been left behind.
This execrable reboot of the film series — no critical darling itself — is based on the bestselling, faith-based novels. It's a shoo-in to clean up at the next Razzie Awards.
The movie also has the distinction of featuring perhaps the worst big-screen performance by an Academy Award winner: Nicolas Cage. To say he sleepwalks through this one would be an insult to sleepwalkers.
"Left Behind" is also an insult to anyone hoping for any sort of credible theological discussion. The film's religious elements are shoehorned in and woefully tossed off. Worse, it's hard to fathom where director Vic Armstrong and screenwriters Paul Lalonde and John Patus stand — if anywhere — on spiritual matters.
Reinvented as a quasi-disaster movie, the hackneyed plot finds Cage as Rayford Steele, a shifty airline pilot flying from New York to London when the Rapture hits. The children on the plane and several crew members suddenly disappear, leaving behind only their clothes. Spooky.
Those remaining, including a laughably motley group of first-class passengers and a sexy flight attendant (Nicky Whelan), all go a tad nuts. Only an investigative journalist (Chad Michael Murray) stays calm because, y'know, that's what those guys do.
Much of the ensuing action takes place in the air as Steele must land the plane amid myriad fakey obstacles. He breaks seemingly every other rule in the aviation handbook.
Meanwhile, on the ground, Steele's born-again Christian wife (Lea Thompson) and nerdy young son (Major Dodson) have vanished, leaving his college-age daughter (Cassi Thomson) to navigate an emptied-out New York. Note: When the Rapture occurs, cell service will be really spotty.
Cheesy visual effects, flat shooting, slack directing and pacing, risible dialogue and characterization, lots of crummy acting, plus a painfully dull first act make this anything but a rapturous experience.
"Left Behind." MPAA rating: PG-13 for thematic elements, violence, peril, brief drug content. Running time: 1 hour, 50 minutes. In general release.

What's that saying about London buses that you wait for ages for and then three come along at once? That's what it has been like at the library for me over the last week or so.
This week, for example, not one but three audiobooks came in for me at the same time. That is more than 40 hours of listening time to get through in four weeks! Not sure it is going to happen. In next week's loot I am going to be talking about at least eleven books and it could still be more!
Hope Flames by Jaci Burton - I am a big fan of Jaci Burton's sports romances so I thought I would give her new series a go too.
Frantic by Katherine Howell - I saw someone mention that this was one of their favourite Australian crime writers so I thought I would give this book a try.
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater - It's been years since I read a Maggie Stiefvater book. There's no real reason for this other than it just happened. Time to rectify this.
An Incomplete Revenge by Jacqueline Winspear - It's been a while since I read my last Maisie Dobbs book too. Time to catch up.
Eyrie by Tim Winton - The first of the audiobooks. I listened to another Winton book earlier this year. I didn't love it, but I can't really work out why. Maybe this book will be the book that helps me understand why Tim Winton is such a popular Australian author.
1914 the Year the World Ended by Paul Ham - I went and heard Paul Ham speak at my local library earlier this year. This is the second audiobook. I started listening to it yesterday and so far it is very interesting.
The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith - I did have the book out from the library but I didn't get to read it. Because I thought I had a while before the other audiobooks I had on request would come in I requested this one too. Whoops!
The Forever Girl by Alexander McCall Smith - I hadn't heard much about any new books from Alexander McCall Smith until I saw something saying that AMS was coming to Australia soon.
Jack of Fables Vol 2: Jack of Hearts by Bill Willingham - The next Jack of Fables graphic novel.
The Sandman Vol 2: The Doll House by Neil Gaiman - The next Sandman graphic novel. I didn't love the first one, which was a prelude, so I am hoping that once the story gets going I will enjoy it more.
The Heist by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis - I didn't really think about getting this CD until I saw these artists perform at the Grammys.
Library Loot is hosted by Clare from The Captive Reader and Linda from Silly Little Mischief. Linda should have the Mr Linky this week so head there to share your loot links.
Oh my goodness, the way you write your comments one by one is wonderful, so much time given. Thank you.
Thanks Tea! It helps me remember why I wanted a book sometimes.
I love Tim Winton but I think his work is "very Australian" and there are some Australian nuances that other cultures might not get. But he's so good. Took me awhile to realise this. (as I moved here from USA).
Does it make me a bad Australian if I don't get him?
That is a LOT of books! and hours. I have been very good this year about reading books that are on my own shelf rather than library. Though I did sneak in a few eBook purchases lately. Have fun reading and listening!
It is a lot. I have managed to read a few books I owned this year so far but as always I need to read more.
Enjoy The Raven Boys. The Heist is one of my favorite albums.
I listened to The Heist today and liked it a lot!
That's how it always was for me when I used the library. It looks like you're in for some good reading.
I go through phases, but all my books are definitely coming in at the moment.
Nice stack! I haven't read anything by Winton yet though I own one of his books. Happy reading!
Which one do you own Vasilly?
I've got The Cuckoo's Calling on audio, too. I'm about halfway through it and am enjoying it quite well!
I also meant to say that I love that video by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. I'm so glad the song was featured on the Grammys. I'd never heard it prior to that.
Glad to hear that you are enjoying the audio of this book!
I didn't recall hearing that song before the Grammys either, but I was emotionally enough engaged and affected to need to get the album straight away after hearing it.
Wow I didn't know Tim Winton has a new book out. I dont think it's here in North America yet. I'll have to look for it. thanks!!!
Came out last year here I think.
That is a great library haul! I have yet to read Neil Gaiman. I have one by him and I need to remedy that STAT.
I have Raven Boys out right now! The library is calling it home soon I'd better get cracking. My son claims it is good, so there's that.

The pub that started it all, the Royston was the first to spot the craft beer revolution coming over the horizon. While everyone else was clinging to the safety of long-established brands – maybe with the odd tap or fridge shelf given over to an Aussie micro – this Richmond establishment went the whole hog, turning over nine of its taps to homegrown brewers back in 2005.
This traditional neighbourhood boozer, on the site of a former tannery, now rattles through dozens of different beers every month. Being the first of the beer bars, it has a close relationship with Australia's best little breweries so is able to get its hands on many of their limited run specials. It also installed one of the first handpumps in Victoria, through which you'll often find all manner of traditional UK style ales – and the not-so-traditional – pouring. Don't be surprised to find a few classy imports showing up on tap and in bottle too.
The warm and welcoming front bar – now with considerably more than nine taps – and pool room are great places to catch up with friends, while the dining room serves quality grub worthy of the Royston's gastropub title. The friendly and knowledgeable beer lovers manning the horseshoe bar help make it a highly enjoyable place to enjoy a beer or two on your own too.
With Mountain Goat, one of the longest-established microbreweries in Australia, located directly across the road and open to drinkers on Wednesday and Friday evenings, it's a pub you'll keep coming back to – just like its sister venues, the Terminus in Clifton Hill and Collingwood's Forester's Hall.

No bond for suspect in officer's death; mental illness cited
by: JUAN A. LOZANO, Associated Press
In this undated photo posted on Twitter and provided by the Houston Police Department is Sgt. Christopher Brewster, who was shot and killed Saturday evening, Dec. 7, 2019, by a man who had been reported for assault, authorities said. Police officials said in a tweet that the 32-year-old officer was shot just before 6 p.m. (Houston Police Department via AP)
HOUSTON (AP) — Attorneys for a man accused of fatally shooting a Houston officer said Monday that their client has a history of mental illness, as a judge ordered him to remain jailed without bond.
Arturo Solis, dressed in yellow jail clothing, said nothing during a short court hearing before state District Judge Danilo Lacayo. Solis is charged with capital murder in the shooting death Saturday of Sgt. Christopher Brewster.
Anthony Osso, one of Solis' court-appointed attorneys, told reporters afterward that Solis cried during the hearing. Osso described Solis as quiet and said he didn't appear to be an assertive individual.
Osso said Solis had been diagnosed as mentally ill when he was in the juvenile system, but he was still learning some of the specific details about his history with mental illness.
"We always ask that the public wait to hear all the facts in the case," Osso said. "We've lost an officer, and that's difficult for everybody. We as a society don't like to see this kind of violence occur. I think facts will come out about Mr. Solis in the future and we'll just see how it plays out."
Solis' father, Roberto Solis, told the Houston Chronicle his son showed signs of mental illness as a teenager and had armed himself recently after someone broke into his home.
John Brewer, one of the prosecutors handling the case for the Harris County District Attorney's Office, said he was not aware of any mental illnesses in Solis' history. Solis has several prior misdemeanor arrests, including for assault of a family member and burglary of a vehicle.
Brewer said the 32-year-old officer's fatal shooting has been "devastating."
"All we can try to do is say a prayer for the family, keep them in our hearts and our minds and see that justice is done," Brewer said.
Police officials said that Brewster was shot just before 6 p.m. Saturday as he was responding to a domestic violence report.
Police received a call from a female victim who said her boyfriend was assaulting her and that he was armed with two firearms. Police didn't find the couple at the provided address, but Brewster spotted them three streets away on Houston's east side.
According to a probable cause affidavit read in court Monday, Brewster got out of his vehicle and saw the woman pointing in the direction of Solis.
"The officer, according to the defendant, had both hands up, waving to the defendant as if to say hi," Brewer said. "The officer did not have his weapon out, did not shoot at the defendant. At that time, the defendant pulled his gun and emptied his gun at or into the victim."
Solis fled on foot but was captured a short time later at a nearby elementary school. Police recovered both handguns that Solis had, one by the scene of the shooting and the other at the school.
Solis apparently made several statements after his arrest inquiring about Brewster, saying "something along the lines of, 'Is he OK?'" according to the affidavit.
Solis also told police after his arrest that if people had come outside when he was fleeing, "he may have chosen to shoot them as well," according to the affidavit.
Solis' next court hearing is set for Feb. 12.

Police were awaiting autopsy results Monday as they tried to unravel why a boy allegedly shot and killed four people including three children inside a suburban Utah home.
Grantsville Police Cpl. Rhonda Fields told The Associated Press that the victims' identities would be released following completion of the autopsies, which was expected sometime Monday. The victims were related to each other, investigators believe.

The Oscars were fairly predictable this year. Jennifer Lawrence won Best Actress; Daniel Day-Lewis took home Best Actor and Argo snagged Best Picture. The only thing we couldn't predict: Anne Hathaway's dress choice.
She's known for her loyalty to Valentino. The designer custom made her wedding dress and she has worn the label to several other award shows. She was originally planning to wear Valentino for Oscar night, but three hours before her arrival she changed her mind and wore a Prada pale pink number.
The reviews of her choice have been mixed. Some bloggers place Hathaway in the line-up for top ten worst dressed, while others put her in the top ten best-dressed category. Personally, I can't decide. Part of me thinks it looks like an apron. But the other half worships the simplicity. The muted color palette is a huge trend, which I happen to adore. So that is another vote for the side of best dressed.
Charlize Theron, another stunner with a pixie cut, was breathtakingly unassuming in white strapless Dior Couture. She wore diamond stud earrings and bracelets by Harry Winston. Her simplicity spoke to her elegance and beauty. She is effortless.
And who doesn't love Jennifer Lawrence? She stole the night in Dior Couture, the backwards-facing diamond necklace, and of course, her first Oscar win. As all Best Actress winners do, Lawrence's dress will go down in history.(We all remember when Julia Roberts won Best Actress for Erin Brockovich in vintage Valentino.) Nominees always have the added pressure of being a showstopper at the Academy Awards and Lawrence did not disappoint.
I can't help but notice a pattern with these three women pictured below, and others at the Oscars: simplicity. I feel overjoyed. The days of too much make-up, too much jewelry and multi-pattern get-ups has come to an end and I couldn't be more thankful. Have we returned to the days when less truly is more? If we have, I wholeheartedly support and advocate the change.

I understand that the free apis will be shutdown in February. In the meantime, is there a way to get historical data on an hourly basis for a PWS?
The following call gets me summary data for each day in the range, but I need hourly.
Though the documentation is written specifically for city calls.
Aliza, if I understand you correctly, you want past data from a PWS by the hour, yes? The =history= call isn't set up to do that, and as far as I know, =hourly= doesn't allow you to set a time in the past, yes?
One way to get around that is to download the data on the PWS dashboard page. You can set the date there, but keep in mind the data can only show you what the PWS was alive for. So if you pick a date before it existed, you're not going to get anything.
If I'm misinterpreting your question, please let me know.
Thanks for your reply. Some of the history calls do provide hourly data. Looking for historical data for an airport does and so does looking by zipcode. I wanted to know if it was possible to do the same when looking at a PWS. If not I'll look by zipcode for the applicable weather station.
Okay! Keep in mind that depending on your key, you won't get an unlimited number of history calls. The history data has always been on tighter rein; I think you may run into issues at >10 calls/min, again, depending on how your key is set up.

Detect – Respond – Exploit. In the face of rapid change learn how to create and lead an agile organisation and teams to exploit new opportunities.
While we use terms like 'agility', 'resilience', and 'innovation', very few have the skills or wherewithal to make these ideas real. "Most leaders end up relying on their natural capabilities when operating in complex and uncertain situations. This might work for a while; but simply having intuition, intellect and charisma is no longer good enough to weather the storm." Dave Snowden, Founder, Cognitive Edge.
Detect-Respond-Exploit. Learn how to embrace complexity and create a strategic advantage in a fast-changing, volatile and uncertain business environment. In the face of rapid change learn how to create and lead agile organisations and teams and how to overcome the barriers to achieving agility.
Be able to create a systematic approach to early detection, fast response and successful exploitation of opportunities.
Distinguish between challenges that are obvious, complicated, complex, and chaotic – and determine how to plan and lead appropriately within these.
Stimulate innovation, build social networks, and engage stakeholders in more effective knowledge exchange.
Implement sustainable change, and overcome barriers to agility.
Be able to create a systematic approach to early detection, fast response and successful exploitation of opportunity.

Content & Growth: Building a marketing engine
ByTrevor July 3, 2019 July 5, 2021
The last post I wrote ended with:
You can boil good marketing down to 2 ideas: content and growth.
So let's talk about those.
Content starts with brand. Brand is a confusing idea. Many people think of brand as your logo and–maybe–your overall storytelling approach to marketing.
Brand, as I define it, is way more than that.
Brand is why you're in business. It's the substance of your interactions with your employees, your customers, and your competitors. If you haven't defined that, well, you're in some trouble.
But if I assume that you know 1) why you're in business and 2) what makes you different than the competition, I can already say with some level of confidence that you have a theory for how your kind of business should be done. That needs to be key in everything you say.
That's your content.
Content starts with a key idea. You need a unique thought that's high value. It needs to be something other than the usual clickbait or list article.
Brian Dean of Backlinko talks about Skyscraper Content as a key winning differentiator for SEO, The idea there is something that stands out like a skyscraper among the houses: it's 10x better than anything else written on the topic.
That's a great approach to getting attention when you know what you want to say, but before you can do that you need to build a foundation of assumptions that you want to use to change the discussion in your space and then serve as a basis for further discussion.
You need to create rockbed content. Something that can serve as the base that you build a hundred further elements on top of. 2 or 3 really good pieces of rockbed content are enough to launch a whole career. Seth Godin's Purple Cow and Tribes are two rockbed pieces of content. They are the basis for a whole series of videos, speaking engagements, books, webinars, and so on. But they're fundamentally two simple ideas, well-phrased and evocative.
You need a couple of those.
But we're not all as smart as Seth Godin, are we? Indeed, Seth writes a blog post every day and has done so for more than a decade. Over the years he's had, probably, a dozen really good pieces of rockbed content. With those dozen really phenomenal, rockstar whizbang blow your socks off ideas, he's become one of the best known marketers of today.
You only need a few great ideas to build from, but does it really take 3,000 swings to get 10 home runs?
Of course not, or I wouldn't be writing this book. There's an easier way to discover what your organization's rockbed content should be than writing a blogpost every day for a decade.
15 years ago I was put in charge of a marketing team of 18 people at a small incubator in Orlando called Nextelligence. 5 months earlier, I'd been hired as their junior copywriter.
I had no idea what i was doing.
In charge of launching a startup every month or less, I proceeded to do everything wrong you can imagine that first month.
Press releases with misspelled headlines? Sure. I got called out by a major technology writer for that. Ad campaigns that took people to landing pages that didn't exist? That, too.
I learned fast.
Once I got over the stupid mistakes, I started making better ones: Sending out emails that drove people to landing pages that didn't quite match the email. Ad buys that weren't optimized on date or demographic. I was groping my way to positive ROIs, but also realizing that there was a lot going on that no one seemed to have a good grasp on.
I kept asking questions of my team and the company and no one seemed to have good answers.
What kind of landing page performed better? How can we optimize checkouts? Can we make 2 versions of a user signup flow? Can we make 4?
All of this, I kept notes. I had a big honking spreadsheet with every marketing campaign, the result expected, the actual performance achieved, and my thoughts on it. No one taught me that, but I was doing what's now called growth marketing. I called it "scientific marketing". The idea behind it was simple:
Make a theory, test it, measure it, and then iterate.
This idea, at it's core, is one of the big 3 rockbed ideas that I have about marketing. I only know 3 things in this business, and I've generated $20,000,000+ with them. The other two ideas? Maybe I'll write about them someday, too. 🙂
The iterative approach to marketing works for any kind of marketing, including content. It tells you what performs with your audience. It tells you what makes them want to trust you.
And that's what you need. You don't want a piece of content that's mildly interesting to your audience. You want content that leaps off the page, wrestles your audience into submission, and keeps their attention until you're done with them.
How do you know when you've got that?
Write a piece of content, test its reception, measure it, and then iterate.
But if you don't have traffic to your content right now, it can be really hard to figure out what kind of content resonates.
Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to get thousands of targeted readers / listeners / watchers of your content for just a few hundred bucks. Do that a dozen times and you'll know what content resonates.
Then you develop that further, expand upon it, and before you know if you've found your rockbed to build your content machine on.
It's not easy, but it is simple.

The adaptation of the final book of The Hunger Games, Mockingjay, will begin filming this year in September, with the book split into two parts, one released in 2014 and one in 2015 according to reports.
The swift turn around means that Jennifer Lawrence will be back working hard as Katniss Everdeen before the rest of us have even seen the turbulent tribute take on the corruption of the Capitol once more in Catching Fire, which is scheduled for release on 22 November.
"THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART 1 is scheduled to begin production September 16th with locations in Atlanta and Boston," Production Weekly tweeted, revealing the news that Jen will barely have time to put down her bow and arrow in 2013.
Both Mockingjay instalments will be directed by Catching Fire director Francis Lawrence – who also directed the upcoming Catching Fire.
Jen will appear alongside co-stars Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Stanley Tucci, Sam Claflin, Jena Malone and Elizabeth Banks in the movie.

the crater of Volcan Poas.
Google has puts Costa Rica on the map. Literally.
Google acquired Keyhole Corp. last October 2004 adding the firmís service to its growing list of its satellite imaging offerings.
Founded in 2001, Keyhole is the 3D digital Earth pioneer ó the only company to deliver a 3D digital model of the entire Earth via the Internet.
Costa Rica is now included in medium resolution. At this 80-meter to 200-meter view one canít see what Ticos are having for breakfast, but one can see the craters of most of the countryís volcanoes in great detail along with other sights of the nation.
Presently, a number of Earth observation systems continuously monitor the surface. The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration along with the U.S. Geological Survey and other organization have donated maps to countries of Central America, allowing them to develop strategies for protecting the environment and for urban planning. However, the availability of the maps has been limited to people in academics and government.
Costa Rica is now available to the general public, and it is the only country in Central America that is, thanks to Google. Virtual tourists can actually tour almost the entire country using Keyhole. Real estate developers can do site analysis and prepare movies for prospective clients along with high-resolution printouts. The uses of digital cartography are endless.
This technology is just getting better by the year. New satellites can photograph the earth at an incredible one-foot spatial resolution. What is spatial resolution?
photograph. If a satellite image has a spatial resolution of 30 meters this means that one pixel in the image represents a square of 30 by 30 meters on the Earthís surface. In an image of this resolution, one cannot see small buildings, but can definitely see a football field or plantations. At one-foot resolution, one can see someone in a swimming pool.
Satellites are contributing to the growing field of GIS.
Maps have always been a powerful way to represent information. Geographic information systems (GIS) combines the power of maps, satellite images, and aerial photographs with databases that store information behind the maps and images to study natural hazards and disasters, population growth, water resources, and minerals deposits, to name only a few topics on a very long list.
Want to take at trip to Costa Rica and donít have enough for the airfare? Use your Internet browser and download the free trial of Keyhole.

Today is the start of the school year for public schools, and nearly a million youngsters, almost a quarter of the population, is expected to show up.
Education officials promise 200 solid days of instruction in the wake of a short year last year despite a Sala IV constitutional court order insisting on 200 days.
The Ministerio de Educación Pública is constantly on the financial ropes, and President Abel Pacheco noted in his upbeat television talk Sunday that the country is investing more than $1 billion in public education this year.
More than 2,000 new teachers have been hired, as well as 300 near special education teachers, said the president. Some 39,225 teachers are part of the 52,301 ministry employees working in public education.
Officials estimate students this year at 969,225 in both primary and secondary grades. The school year runs until next Christmas.
For youngsters living in the northern zone and the Caribbean coast the first day might be less than they expect. Some school buildings were heavily damaged during the heavy rains that raked the area during the first two weeks of January.
Education ministry workers have been on the job overtime replacing destroyed furnishing and helping to clean the drenched classes.
In other communities the school building is one of the few that survived the flooding.
The Fuerza Pública is fielding a force of 10,000 to provide security around the nationís school buildings. Police officials have expressed concern that every year younger children walk to school without having had the benefit of precautionary training about traffic and criminals.
Walter Navarro, chief of the Fuerza Pública, is among those who urge parents to accompany their children to school and, if they cannot to designate a family member to do so.
Expats and vacationers alike took up residency at the Gringo bars downtown Sunday night to watch Super Bowl XXXIX. Men from Boston to Los Angeles settled in at local bars to watch the Philadelphia Eagles take on the New England Patriots.
Philadelphia took an early lead, but the Patriots battled back. At halftime the score was 7 to 7. During the second half, both teams scored in the third quarter keeping the game tied at 14. The Patriots scored 10 quick points in the fourth quarter, but the Eagles scored a late touchdown, cutting the Patriots lead to 3 points. The Eagles had one last chance when the received the ball with under a minute left in the game, but a Patriot interception sealed the victory for New England, 24 to 21.
Local bars closed out the football season with a bang with one of the closest Super Bowls in history. At the Sportsmens Lodge, near the towering Edificio de Instituto de Seguros, more than 150 gringos packed into a former hotel living room to watch the game. Elsewhere downtown, the results were similar as men lined up to catch one of the biggest games of the year.
Although the game was televised on cable, the downtown bars and lounges were a more convivial place. Plus there was the cold beer.
"The Eagles need to win this game," Tim Connors, a Philadelphia native, muttered just before halftime. "To come so close to many times and not win, they need to win tonight." Connors joined several others at the Horseshoe Casino downtown.
Perhaps the only losers in the deal, aside from the Eagles, were the professional girls working downtown. The girls sat around the bar nursing cocktails as their potential suitors sat entranced by the game.
The 62 annual Central American Golf Tournament ended Saturday, and for the second straight year, the Costa Rican team captured the team crown.
The tournament featured over 180 players from countries throughout Central America. Costa Rica beat out Guatemala and Panamá on the final day to claim the victory.
Costa Rican Paulo Montoya led the team, capturing the individual championship with 293 strokes. He edged out Salvadoran Herbert Day, who finished with 297 strokes.
The tournament was held over the weekend at the Costa Rica Country Club.
The Carnavales de Puntarenas began Saturday. The annual carnival attracts locals and Gringos alike from around the country. This years festivities will run through Sunday.
The festival features live music and dancing, as well as traditional types of food and drinks.
Carnival, a 13th century Italian creation, is celebrated up to the night before Lent begins. These days carnival is celebrated in countries throughout the globe, with Rio de Janeiro and New Orleans, La., being famous. Lent is a 40-day period of fasting and prayer for Christians who will celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ at the termination.
The carnival in Puntarenas runs over into the beginning of Lent, which starts very early this year. Ash Wednesday in two days and Easter is March 27.
"Never get married or leave on a journey on a Tuesday." Todayís dicho is similar to what we say in English about Friday the 13th, except in Costa Rica we say it about Tuesdays, especially if that Tuesday happens to fall on the 13th of the month.
This dicho is all about warnings. Itís interesting how ó in my family at least ó we have developed ways of talking in order to prevent other people from understanding exactly whatís going on.
For example, if my sister asks me to go with her to shop for a new car and I reply with something using the word martes, or "Tuesday," it means that I donít think itís such a good idea. Another word we use in this way is menta. This is the Spanish word for "mint" but we are relating it to the word mentira, meaning "a lie."
If someone says something we donít believe, someone else who is a party to the conversation may make a comment using the word menta indicating that he thinks the person is lying. Itís a way of sending a coded message to family and friends not to be taken in.
When I was a kid I had an uncle named Regulo. Once he paid us a visit because his older brother was very sick in the hospital and Uncle Regulo came to alert my grandmother. But, since my grandmother was quite old and far from being in the best of health herself, my mother and my aunts warned Regulo not to say anything that might upset her. But upon seeing grandma the first words out of his mouth were, "José is dying in the hospital."
Whereupon, as predicted, my grandmother became very upset and agitated, and the doctor had to be called in to give her a sedative. From that day forth, in my family at least, the word regulo came to mean "stupid person who regularly inserts foot in mouth." If you make such a gaffe around my family, someone will be sure to comment: "Is it Tuesday already, or did he just do a regulo?"
A dear friend of mine recently observed, after having read one of my columns, that I certainly do have an interesting family. Well, yes I guess I do. And the best part is that weíre still very much together, still very much interested in each otherís lives, still doing things together, laughing and joking and remembering how life has been so good to us despite all the mentas and the regulos and a whole lifetime of Tuesdays that might have messed it up.
Lawyers representing creditors in the Oswaldo Villalobos fraud hearing report that the first week has been procedural.
The judge at the preliminary hearing has been mapping out how the lengthy judicial process will go. Basically, each of the 30 lawyers involved in the case will have their own days in which to present their evidence.
Mark Beckford Douglas, one of the lawyers, said he believes that the hearing will result in an order for a trial for the Villalobos brother and that the trial probably will begin this October. Others have predicted a much longer wait, although most agree that the judge will find that there is sufficient evidence for a trial.
Beckford is a lawyer with the Investment Recovery Center, which includes lawyers who were suing the Villalobos Brothers even before the high-interest borrowing operation went bust. He now represents 25 creditors, the majority from the United States and Canada. Some of his clients are Ticos.
The hearing is private, and for the time being only lawyers are attending the sessions.
more engaged with civil action because he is interested in seeing creditors get a percentage of the money that is being held by the judiciary. Some $7 million in property belonging to Luis Enrique Villalobos has been frozen.
Beckford said that even if the case against Oswaldo is successful the investors will only get a very small percentage of the money back that they invested. He said that he believes that this part of the case, the return of money to investors, will take up to two years because the courts are very slow in compensating victims.
The Villalobos Brothers had as much as $1 billion on their books when they closed the Mall San Pedro operation and several other branches Oct. 14, 2002. The brothers were the most visible of the high-interest operations that collapsed around the same time.
Costa Rican law allows victims to join with the prosecution of a criminal case to seek financial compensation. That is why the case has a civil dimension. Prosecutors are pressing fraud, money-laundering, illegal banking and conspiracy charges.
Only about 300 creditors of the more than 6,000 have filed as victims in the Oswaldo Villalobos case. Luis Enrique Villalobos is a fugitive so he will come to trial only if caught.
$7 million divided by about 300 litigants comes to a little more than $20,000 each. Beckfordís summary of the case was confirmed by another lawyer who represents victims. Beckford said that in two weeks time the criminal part of the preliminary hearing will begin and prosecutor from the Ministerio Público will present evidence to the court.
Keith Nash is an elderly Canadian investor who tried to take his money out of the Villalobos operation long before investigators raided the offices July 4, 2002. Villalobos tried to get him declared mentally incompetent and claimed he was paying the medical bills of Nash. The Canadian rolled over his money until he had about $1.5 million on the Villalobos books.
Luis Enrique Villalobos wrote letters to his creditors in which he claimed that Nashís son, a lawyer, was simply seeking his ailing fatherís money. Many investors believed the Villalobos explanation and vilified Nash and his son, Michael, when they filed suit.
Villalobos went so far as to file a slander suit against The Tico Times when the weekly newspaper reported the case.
The lawyers representing Nash were well positioned to represent other victims when the operation went bust, and they started the Investment Recovery Center.
Other creditors chose an opposite approach. They blamed the government for closing down the Villalobos operation, and some still actively try to encourage those who have filed suit to drop their complaints.
Luis Enrique Villalobos hasnít been heard from since he sent A.M. Costa Rica an e-mail in January 2003. Oswaldo Villalobos has been in preventative detention and, for a time, under house arrest.
The case has been declared a complex one, thereby giving prosecutors more time to obtain evidence.
Evidence has been obtained from the United States where the Villalobos Brothers maintained bank accounts. Costa Rican prosecutors requested via diplomatic channels the aid of the U.S. Justice Department. A federal judge in Miami invested an assistant U.S. attorney there with subpoena power and supervision of FBI agents who conducted an investigation and multiple interviews. This material has never been made public but it is likely to be presented at the preliminary hearing.
So far U.S. officials have not said one way or the other whether they have started their own investigation of the Villalobos brothers, although some creditors there report they have been interviewed by agents.
Oswaldo Villalobos was more closely identified with the Ofinter S.A. money exchange firm. Luis Enrique Villalobos operated his high-interest business in an office adjacent to the Ofinter storefront in Mall San Pedro. However, using material collected by the Judicial Investigating Organization prosecutors are claiming that Oswaldo Villalobos also was actively involved in the high-interest business.
So now the dog and pony show starts . The government of Costa Rica is holding a hearing behind closed doors which outcome could destroy the lives of thousands of innocent people .
Of course, most of these people are North Americans who believed (wrongly) that the Costa Rica government was honest and would look out for them.
Too late they are finding out that Costa Rica is just as corrupt as any other banana republic.
The president of Costa Rica called us fools, and he is right. Any Gringo that goes to that country expecting a fair shake is a fool. The 600 people that let lawyers convince them to file suit against the brothers are the biggest fools of all . All that they did was to give the government a excuse to declare the case "complex ," thus letting them take their sweet time to trump up charges of money laundering so that they can confiscate an estimated one billon dollars.
They have already got their sticky fingers on seven million dollars that you can bet your bippy will never be seen again .
It isn't a total loss. I have learned to speak a different dialect of Spanish . It is the dialect spoken by Costa Rican politicians. For instance, the phrase "Trust me " translates into "Screw you, gringo."
Firemen and electrical workers were out Sunday to trim some branches from a gigantic tree on the lawn of the foreign ministry, Casa Amarilla.
Although the age of the tree is uncertain, the trunk diameter is about five feet.
Nearby powerlines turned an ordinary forestry job into a major operation.
The woman who is considered to be the pimp to the rich and famous goes on trial Tuesday in the Tribunal de Juicio de San José. However, the additional arrests anticipated after investigators seized her records never materialized.
The woman is Sinai Monge Muñoz who was arrested in Oct. 9. 2003 when police raided a home in Hatillo 3, a southern suburb of San José.
Investigators allege that she recruited and marketed many underaged youngsters to highly placed Costa Ricans and a number of expats. She is well-known in certain sections of the expat community.
Investigators said they found a treasure trove of information within her home.
Neighbors had complained that fancy vehicles, including some that appeared to be from ministries, stopped frequently at her establishment to pick up women. The home has been described as a pickup point rather than a place of prostitution.
When she was arrested, the Spanish press asked openly why the arrest took so long. Spanish television reporters pretending to be businessmen interviewed her and took hidden photos of the women and girls she offered to them for a March 2001 show.
Although laws against prostitution are not enforced here, pimping is illegal and the involvement of minors is a serious allegation.
The raid was conducted by the Fiscalía de Delitos Sexuales of the Ministerio Público and the Judicial Investigating Organization after a six-month probe, officials said.
Prosecutors are expected to call 23 witnesses. They alleged that the woman charged up to $300 for providing the sexual services of minors, who ranged in age from 14 to 17.
A man with the last names of Solano Brenes also will be in the dock with the Monge woman. He is alleged to be an employee who provided transportation services.
Two others persons have admitted guilt in the case during abbreviated hearings, officials said.

Lubián es un municipio y localidad española de la provincia de Zamora, en la comunidad autónoma de Castilla y León. Es uno de los municipios bilingües de la provincia de Zamora, ya que sus habitantes utilizan habitualmente tanto el castellano como el gallego.
Geografía
Se encuentra situado al noroeste de la provincia de Zamora, junto a la provincia de Orense y próximo a la frontera con Portugal. Pertenece a la denominada Alta Sanabria, una subcomarca de la comarca histórica y tradicional de Sanabria. En su término municipal se encuentran las localidades de Aciberos, Chanos, Las Hedradas, Hedroso, Lubián y Padornelo. Se localiza a 139 kilómetros de la capital provincial.
Su ubicación geográfica, contigua a Galicia y próxima a Portugal, ha propiciado que sea uno de los pocos municipios bilingües de la provincia de Zamora, ya que sus habitantes utilizan habitualmente el idioma español y el gallego.
El término municipal está atravesado por la Autovía de las Rías Bajas A-52 entre los pK 98 y 111, así como por la carretera nacional N-525, que en algún tramo se ha renombrado como ZA-106. Cuenta con una estación de ferrocarril convencional, la estación de Lubián. En la actualidad se está construyendo la futura Línea Ferroviaria de Alta Velocidad entre Madrid y Galicia, que pasará por el municipio, aunque las estaciones más cercanas serán La Gudiña-AV u Otero de Sanabria.
El relieve del territorio es muy quebrado y con difícil acceso a las restantes localidades zamoranas de Sanabria. Por el norte se extiende la Sierra Segundera y por el sur la Sierra Gamoneda. Entre estas montañas, se encuentra el valle de Lubián, formado por el río Tuela y sus afluentes (río Pedro, río Leira), al que se accede por el puerto de Padornelo (1360 metros) desde Requejo y del que se sale por el puerto de la Canda (1250 metros) hacia Galicia. La altitud del término municipal oscila entre los 1783 metros en el entorno de la Fraga da Osa (Sierra Segundera) y los 870 metros a orillas del río Tuela en la frontera con el término municipal de Hermisende. El pueblo se alza a 1065 metros sobre el nivel del mar.
El camino mozárabe-sanabrés
Lubián es el último municipio del camino mozárabe-sanabrés a su paso por la provincia de Zamora. En esta población el peregrino encuentra la primera de las más de un centenar de "piedras", todas diferentes, realizadas por el escultor orensano Carballo y dispuestas a lo largo del trazado por la provincia de Orense.
Historia
En la Edad Media, con el avance de la Reconquista, Lubián quedó integrado en el Reino de León, adscripción que mantuvo posteriormente, hecho por el cual, durante la Edad Moderna, la documentación recoge explícitamente la pertenencia de Lubián al Adelantamiento del Reino de León.
Existe la teoría, sobre la base de la tradición oral local, de que Lubián pudo pertenecer a la Orden del Temple durante época medieval, si bien la falta de documentos no permite hacer ninguna afirmación concluyente al respecto.
Ya en la Edad Contemporánea, al crearse en 1833 las actuales provincias, Lubián quedó integrado en la provincia de Zamora, dentro ésta de la Región Leonesa.
Monumentos y lugares de interés
Santuario de la Virgen de la Tuiza. Declarado Bien de Interés Cultural, conserva en su interior la Virgen de las Nieves, patrona de la Alta Sanabria.
Castro de As Muradellas. Se trata de un antiguo castro astur que data del Está declarado Bien de Interés Cultural.
Iglesia de San Mamés. Construida en estilo barroco tardío.
Arquitectura tradicional. Sus viviendas se suelen organizar siguiendo el esquema de cuadra (corte) en planta baja y vivienda en la superior, a la que se accede mediante una escalera exterior que desemboca en un corredor de madera, elementos destacados de la arquitectura sanabresa. Los muros se construyen con mampuesto de granito, mientras que la estructura de forjados y cubierta se realiza con madera de roble. El interior de la vivienda suele limitarse a varios dormitorios y una cocina alrededor de la cual se organiza la vida.
Cortello dos Lobos. Es un antiguo y peculiar recinto realizado con arquitectura tradicional como trampa para la caza de lobos.
Cultura
Fiestas
Entre las principales fiestas de esta localidad, destacan:
Virgen de la Tuiza, el 5 de agosto.
Fiesta local, los días 8 y 9 de septiembre.
Romería de la Tuiza, el último fin de semana de septiembre.
En Lubián también se organizan otros actos como el de folk-rock Nas Portelas y el de bandas de música tradicional.
Demografía
El municipio de Lubián, como la mayoría de los municipios de Sanabria, se encuentra en una situación de decrecimiento vegetativo. La situación actual tiene su origen en varias oleadas de emigración, principalmente el éxodo rural de los años 1950 y 1960 con destino a Madrid, Barcelona o Bilbao. Si bien este fue el movimiento migratorio más intenso, también tuvieron lugar otros con anterioridad y con posterioridad a las décadas indicadas, como los que durante la primera mitad del se centraron primero en Iberoamérica -principalmente Argentina y Cuba - y posteriormente en Europa -Francia, Suiza y Alemania-. La continua emigración ha afectado negativamente al dato más visible, el de la densidad de población de Lubián, con una evolución negativa que es consecuencia directa del cada vez menor número de vecinos. Pero también han afectado a otros aspectos menos visibles a simple vista como son los relacionados con la composición de su masa de población. En este sentido, se ha producido un notable crecimiento del índice de envejecimiento y el índice de natalidad es sensiblemente inferior al de mortalidad.
Núcleos de población
El municipio se divide en seis núcleos de población, que poseían la siguiente población en 2020 según el INE.
Ayuntamiento
La alcaldía lleva varias legislaturas en manos del PSOE, siendo clave para ello la figura de Felipe Lubián, alcalde del municipio desde 1979.

Poets Dean Bowen, Anne Vegter and Joost Baars recited Berber poetry on the occasion of the completion of the Berber Library. This is a collection of works by the most important authors of Berber heritage. At the initiative of writer Asis Aynan and translator Hester Tollenaar, ten books have been published in Dutch translation. And as a finale, the volume Vallende Tijd (Falling Time) brought together work of the four greatest Rif poets: Mohammed Chacha, Ahmed Ziani, Fadma el Ouariachi and Mimoun el Walid. Their poetry celebrates love, detests migration and screams for emancipation.

Beat Street – Tim Garland
Tim Garland (born 19 October 1966) is a British jazz saxophonist, composer and band-leader. He is also known for his innovative bass clarinet playing and for his prolific output as composer, blurring the boundaries between modern jazz and classical concert music.
He first entered the jazz scene playing alongside Ronnie Scott in a "two tenor" quintet, before quickly establishing himself as a leader, drawing on influences from around the world including classical and flamenco.
As a performer, he has worked widely both in Britain and overseas, with particular highlights being a continuing collaboration with Chick Corea and his four-year association with Bill Bruford.
As composer, he has fulfilled commissions from the London Symphony Orchestra, the Northern Sinfonia, BBC Concert Orchestra and Westminster Abbey Choir, as well as several small and large jazz-based ensembles.
In 2013, he premiered his suite Songs to The North Sky for jazz trio and orchestra, written in 2012 for the trio Lighthouse with the Royal Northern Sinfonia and subsequently performed by them and also by the London Sinfonia.
As a band-leader, he first achieved recognition with the jazz/folk crossover group Lammas (which included Don Paterson and Christine Tobin), going on with a number of groups under his own name, the Dean Street Underground Orchestra, Storms/Nocturnes, Acoustic Triangle and his award winning Lighthouse Project.
He was voted "Musician of the Year" by the 2006 Cross-Parliamentary Jazz Society. In 2016 He came first in the Jazzwise Readers Poll CD Of The Year for his album ONE on Edition Records.
In 2009, Garland won a Grammy for his part in creating "The New Crystal Silence" which celebrated Chick Corea and Gary Burton's long established partnership. He orchestrated five of Chick's pieces for the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.

Hidden away beneath Dublin's Harcourt Street, Saagar occupies the basement of a former residence of Dracula writer Bram Stoker. This family-run Indian restaurant has an snug, leisurely feel, with intimate alcoves for couples to hide away and a spacious main dining room that can accommodate larger groups. An extensive menu offers set lunch and dinner options alongside a diverse à la carte featuring tandoori dishes, chicken, lamb and seafood and speciality biryanis.

I cannot get the chill out of my body the last two days! It certainly feels like winter has arrived! What happened to fall??? I love the crisp, cool weather and this is not what I had in mind.
Oh well, I guess I don't really have much say in the matter.
Here's another card we did at my Holiday card class last week. It was actually adapted from a card I made for a workshop a few weeks ago. I love the new pearls we have in the 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalog -- they just add so much to a design... and they are very inexpensive. You get 150 pearls for just $4.95.
Today is going to be a quick post as I've got a ton of things to do on my day off. Lots of shopping errands. I've already been a good girl and cleaned my bathroom (which was way overdue) and finished the laundry.
I've also got some planning and creating to do later tonight, too. I do want to let you know, though, that Stampin' Up has added over 200 items in their clearance rack section of my demonstrator Web site. There are some fantastic deals on retired merchandise that you can get for up to 80 percent off! Check it out here. All orders must be placed online, though. So you can order right through my Web site. Let me know if you have any questions.

Kids are so sensitive to their environments. What grown ups are oblivious to can seep into a child's experience and shape it. From teas to tinctures to aromatherapy, the calming effects of lemon balm and lavender have been revered for generations. California poppy adds an energetic vibe to this mist, dulling sharp reactions and cooling out tempers and fears.
Mist around an agitated kiddo or on pillows for night time peace.

Gary Vickery: Fugitive drugs kingpin extradited from Canary Islands to UK to be sentenced
A fugitive who was wanted for his involvement in the supply of class A drugs worth millions of pounds has been extradited to the UK from the Canary Islands, the National Crime Agency (NCA) has said.
Gary Vickery, originally from Dublin, was escorted on a flight from Lanzarote by NCA officers on Thursday, having been arrested by Spanish police on 20 October.
The NCA said that the 38-year-old had previously admitted to playing a leading role in conspiring to import class A and B drugs and money laundering, but he failed to attend a hearing at Ipswich Crown Court in July.
He is due to appear before the court on Friday, before appearing alongside his two co-defendants at a hearing on 3 December.
Vickery was involved in large scale drug shipments worth over £23m at UK street value with two other men, 53-year-old Thomas Kavanagh, from Tamworth, and 42-year-old Daniel Canning, originally from Dublin, according to the NCA.
The co-accused are both in custody awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to conspiring to import class A and B drugs and money laundering, with Canning also having pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm and ammunition.
Ireland's Sunday World newspaper reported in October that Vickery had boasted to friends that he expected to remain free for months before his arrest a few weeks ago.
A source for the paper claimed that he believed UK authorities would not be able to easily get an extradition warrant for him.
"Vickery was given ample opportunity to return to the UK following his guilty plea, but has failed to come back on every occasion," NCA deputy director Matt Horne said last month.

Precious Lara Quigaman-Alcaraz, Nina Corpuz-Rodriuez and Delamar Arias - known celebrities that have on thing in common and it is the desire to protect and secure their children's future. They all made the decision to bank their children's umbilical stem cells and they shared their reason on why they made the decision last November 18, 2014 at Crowne Plaza. The three celebrities hoped that they can inspire other expectant parents to do this too.
"I've come to terms with the fact that many things can happen to Cooper in the future, both good and bad like getting seriously ill. I want to make sure that I've done my part in guaranteeing that Cooper has the best way to cope. And since there are so many advances in cord blood banking and the service is already made available and affordable here in the Philippines through Cordlife, I just had to get it for both my children," Arias said.
Cordlife Philippines is a subsidiary of Cordlife Gorup Limited which operates processing and cryopreservation storage facilities in Asia as I previously posted article. The facilities also includes Singapore, Hong Kong, India and Indonesia. (1) The company serves over 100,000 families worldwide and it is affordable.
"Having found out that Cordlife is a recognized expert in the cord blood banking industry, with proven track record for successful release, I knew I found a reliable partner in providing a lifetime of protection for Noah. It gives me a sense of security and peace of mind, knowing that I am investing in Noah's future. I'm glad I was able to seize the one chance to store my baby's precious cord blood that he could use years from now should there be a need." said Lara Quigaman, former beauty queen and actress.
There are also on-going clinical trials on its use to treat cerebral palsy, and autism. Cord lining, on the other hand, contains two types of stem cells, namely Mesenchymal and Epithelial stem cells (3), which are currently being studied for the treatment of stroke, myocardial infarction, and other potentials applications in regenerative medicine.
"As a health and wellness advocate, I get to talk to a lot of experts and most of them vouch for Cordlife. It's the name. It's the brand. It's tried and tested. It's something that has been there for a long time. I trust the experts that I talk to and I know that I made the best decision to bank my baby's umbilical stem cells with Cordlife," Nina Corpuz, Broadcast journalist said.
Cordlife Group Limited's processing and storage facilities in Singapore, Hong Kong, and India are all accredited by AABB, (American Association of Blood Banks), meeting the gold standard of private cord blood banking (4).
Department of Health and is certified by ISO9001:2008 ensuring that the company adheres to the highest standards for cord blood banking5.

Pione Sisto Ifolo Emirmija (Kampala, 1995. február 4. –) válogatott dán labdarúgó. Jelenleg a Midtjylland játékosa.
Pályafutása
Pione Sisto Ugandában született, Kampala városában. 2002-ben, hétévesen került a Tjørring IF csapatához, majd 2010-ben a Midtjyllandhoz.
A felnőtt csapatban a 2012–13-as bajnokságban debütált. 2014. március 2-án első gólját is megszerezte az FC København elleni bajnokin. Ebben az évben jelölték az év dán labdarúgója díjra. A következő idényben több mérkőzést kihagyott sérülés miatt. Mikor visszatért, meghatározó játékossá nőtte ki magát, gólerős játékával pedig több nagy európai élklub figyelmét felkeltette, a holland AFC Ajax hétmilliós ajánlatot tett érte, ám azt klubja nem fogadta el.
2016. február 18-án az Európa-ligában gólt lőtt a Manchester Unitednek, és bár az első mérkőzést megnyerték (2–1), a visszavágón súlyos vereséget szenvedtek és kiestek.
2016. július 31-én a spanyol élvonalbeli Celta Vigo igazolta le ötmillió euróért cserébe. 2020. szeptember 7-én visszatért a Midtjylland csapatához.

ACLU of Indiana launches LGBTQ Rights Project
Statewide initiative includes education, litigation and lobbying
Laura McPhee
The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana has announced the launch of a statewide LGBTQ Rights Project. It's an initiative meant to create more focus and resources for the ACLU of Indiana's work defending and advancing the rights of LGBTQ Hoosiers.
In a press release earlier today, Jane Henegar, executive director of the ACLU of Indiana, explained the necessity for the project.
"We have made great strides here in Indiana, but our work is far from done," says Henegar. "LGBTQ community members continue to face attacks on their constitutional rights by business owners, school administrations and elected officials across our state.
"Whether it be a transgender student's right to use the correct restroom, or a couple's right to purchase a wedding cake free from discrimination, we will continue to fight in court and in the statehouse for fairness and equality for all of our community."
The ACLU of Indiana LGBTQ Rights Project will encompass all of the organization's current and future work including current legal action, the Transgender Education and Advocacy Program (TEAP) and advocacy work such as pushing the Indiana House to vote "no" on Senate Bill 65, which could prevent schools from discussing any LGBTQ issues without express written permission from parents.
"We are seeing attempts to use religion to discriminate, such as the recent Masterpiece Cakeshop ruling at the national level, and the 2016 Religious Freedom Restoration Act here in Indiana" said Katie Blair, advocacy director at ACLU of Indiana. "The LGBTQ Rights Project is fighting to ensure no member of our community faces discrimination based on their sexual orientation or gender identity."
Currently, the ACLU is suing the Evansville school system on behalf of a transgender student denied the ability to use the restroom that corresponds with his gender identity. The student, identified as J.A.W., has been diagnosed with gender dysphoria, is under a doctor's care, and is currently undergoing hormone therapy. The school has prevented J.A.W. from using the male restrooms and threatened discipline if he does so.
The ACLU of Indiana maintains that denying the student the right to use the male restrooms violates both the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972, 20 U.S.C. § 1681(a).
In their suit, the ACLU of Indiana is asking the court to require the school district to allow J.A.W. to use the male restrooms and similar facilities in its schools without penalty.
Closer to home, the Brownsburg school corporation is dealing with a teacher's refusal to call transgender students by the names they have chosen. The school requires signed paperwork from a doctor and parental permission in order to change a student's name in the school's official records database.
At the end of this past school year, Brownsburg orchestra teacher, John Kluge, resigned over the district's requirement that he address a student by a new name matching that student's gender identity. After having second thoughts about quitting, Kluge tried to un-resign and asked for his job back. The school declined to reinstate him. Now he's claiming the school's policy violates his First Amendment Rights.
"I'm being compelled to encourage students in what I believe is something that's a dangerous lifestyle," Kluge told reporters early this summer. "I'm fine to teach students with other beliefs, but the fact that teachers are being compelled to speak a certain way is the scary thing."
Helping to bring awareness and educate communities like Evansville and Brownsburg are among the many missions of the LGBTQ Rights Project via the Transgender Education and Advocacy Program (TEAP).
"We are working with grassroots advocates and activists and providing them with leadership development and support for community outreach and education," says Kit Malone, Transgender Education and Advocacy Coordinator.
"In the case of Brownsburg, it was fortunate that the school had a policy in place to ensure the rights of transgender students were protected," Malone says. "More schools should have policies on the books to protect kids from bullying and discrimination.
"The situation in Brownsburg can open up conversation and education opportunities in the community and the TEAP program helps to make community events and forums possible for communities to have larger conversations.
"Ultimately schools should be a safe place for our kids and the refusal to call a child by the correct name, or to allow that student to use the correct restroom, can be extremely emotionally damaging for students and can expose them to bullying."
Since its beginning in 1953, the ACLU of Indiana has deployed its resources to fight for LGBTQ rights. That mission continues through a unique base of resources to defend civil liberties through advocacy, education and litigation. At a national level the ACLU brought its first LGBTQ rights case in 1936 and founded the LGBTQ Project in 1986.

Details on what AEW has planned for Rampage television show
Aaron Rift June 17, 2021
During an media event in New York City to promote the upcoming edition of Dynamite at Arthur Ashe Stadium, AEW President Tony Khan talked about the company's plans for Rampage which debuts on Friday nights in August. Here is what Khan said courtesy of PWInsider.com's Mike Johnson…
"With Rampage, there's going to be some weeks rampage will be live and there'll be weeks where we plan to tape Rampage after Dynamite, including here at Arthur Ashe stadium, where we will be filming also after. We'll do Dynamite live and we'll also film Rampage. And in some of the markets where we have these amazing crowds, I think it's okay.
We can take advantage of it and give them Dynamite and Rampage. There's also going to be times where we're going to do a lot of live Rampages. We're going to have a live debut. We're going to do some great live episodes. The Go Home will be live for All Out at the Sears Center, and also we'll be live for the Go Home in St. Louis and it'll be great. We'll also be… so it'll be Rampage. It'll be really, really special for us. I think it will be, sometimes we'll do it after Dynamite. We'll do Dynamite, then we'll do Rampage. Sometimes if Rampage is not live, then that'll be one taping.
Before Dynamite, we used to tape Dark. That's going to change. I'm going to tape Elevation before Dynamite now. So it's going to be a shorter Elevation and I may add matches that I'll explain where I'll add them from. I'm going to procure a venue for use to tape Dark and other content that'll be great. And I'm really looking forward to this. I think it's going to be tremendous and it will be where we'll shoot Dark and we'll do tapings. And it'll be, as it's been, it's been a developmental situation and it'll continue to be developmental. And it's been great doing it all under one roof, all at one taping. And there's been advantages, but there'll be some advantages now to doing it as its own taping and being able to give 100% attention to these and not having also to think about Dynamite and soon Rampage and Elevation also."
Khan also said the following about Dark and Elevation…
"It's a developmental system in many ways for us. And it also gives us a chance for the stars to get some reps in and work with the young talent. But it's not our bread and butter platform, frankly. AEW Dynamite and soon, Rampage will be the "A" shows, so to speak, in many ways. But look, if you love wrestling, what Elevation and Dark bring on Monday and Tuesday is a chance to see some of the best wrestlers in the world for free for everybody in the world, no matter where they are. And I think that's pretty cool and I try to make it fun. So it will change the presentation, when we start going back on the road, particularly when we start… when Rampage begins. It's going to change. And there'll be weeks where it's different. There'll be more content in the live arena some weeks, maybe when Rampage is live and we'll film more stuff. And there's other weeks where I'm going to rely on the studios. But I have a plan for it and I try to be really organized and meticulous in the booking. As far as going forward and what we're going to do with the live events, I think I've got it pretty well organized, but I'm glad you asked because nobody's really asked much about it. And I think it's going to be great in many ways. There's a lot of pros."

Earthwave Technologies will be promoting it's flagship Fleetwatcher solutions for Materials Delivery and E-ticketing at the Transportation Research Board's 98th annual meeting to be held at the Walter E Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. from January 13-17, 2019. The conference is the largest event in North America for US DOT and State DOT Officials and addresses topics of interest to policy makers, administrators, practitioners, researchers, and representatives of government, industry, and academic institutions.
"E-Ticketing has certainly been on the radar of state and federal transportation officials over the past few years. Attending TRB gives us an opportunity to meet industry leaders from every state and share in their vision for paperless tickets to ultimately make our e-ticketing solution the best there is on the market," states Larry Baker, President and CEO of Earthwave Technologies.
You can find our booth on the north end of the exhibit hall in Exhibit Space No. 849. We'll also be hosting a TRB Live! theater in the TRB Live! East wing on Monday, January 14th at 2:00 pm, where we'll present a 30-minute educational and informative overview and discuss the value our E-ticketing solution has provided for both state transportation officials and contractors alike.

Representing your communities in 2022
Essex Police is continuing to represent all the different communities we serve, and our We Value Difference recruitment campaign is helping to bring new people into policing.
In the past two years, we've seen amazing results thanks to our We Value Difference campaign, which is aimed at all those who hadn't previously thought that policing was a profession for them.
We've seen that the voices of our officers - from female firearms officers, to the most senior Black woman in our force, and officers from the LGBTQ+ community – have encouraged even more people to come forward from a diverse range of backgrounds. Scores of colleagues have spoken up about their work protecting and serving the county, encouraging others to apply for a wide range of roles or to transfer to the force from other organisations.
The most recent intake at the Essex Police College, based in Chelmsford, saw 59% of the intake identify as female, with 11% of students coming from a minority ethnic background.
In a typical week during 2021, an average of 14% of new applicants identified themselves as being from minority ethnic backgrounds and 32% identified as women.
These figures are promising, but we're nowhere near where we want to be yet.
For newer recruits, like PC Jamone Campbell, who started his policing journey in 2021, his new career has made a huge difference to his life.
"I've been welcomed into a field of work that has a challenging relationship with people from my background. It's heart-warming to see that society is changing and so is Essex Police.
"As someone who has suffered from racial abuse in the past, nothing feels more satisfying then proving someone wrong by making something of yourself.
"Stop listening to people saying you are nothing, or that you're just the typical stereotype. You are so much more."
PC Jamone Campbell
Since the Essex Police We Value Difference campaign was devised in Spring 2020, we have set out to give people from every part of our community a voice. Almost 70 colleagues have featured in news stories, on our website or spoken up at community meetings about what it's like working in the force.
We've also welcomed nine new applications to the Brentwood and Epping Forest Independent Advisory Group, which tells the local policing commander what people think about the service the force delivers, and how we can make the area even safer.
We also regularly show body-worn video of police incidents – including stop and search – to another independent group so that communities can see the approach we take and, where appropriate, tell us how we can improve.
Over the past 18 months, the force has progressed several high-profile investigations into incidents of anti-Semitism and racism, offering support to people affected by crime while bringing offenders to justice.
"More and more men and women from all backgrounds are joining us to catch criminals and keep people safe and there is now a record number of Black, Asian and minority ethnic colleagues at Essex Police, which is great.
"When we see people trying to discriminate or spread hatred, we hold them to account.
"If we get something wrong, we listen and we put it right.
"I'm really proud of the people I work with.
"What's more important is that in the last year, Black, white, Asian and minority ethnic communities have told us they have equally high levels of trust in our officers and police staff. That hasn't always been the case and we will never take anyone's trust for granted."
Chief Constable of Essex Police, Ben-Julian Harrington QPM

PhD Studentship: genetic dissection of the ubiquitin-proteasome system
A fully funded, three-year PhD studentship is available at the Cambridge Institute for Therapeutic Immunology and Infections Disease (CITIID), where you will work in the Timms Lab using genetic technologies to study the function of E3 ubiquitin ligases.
This studentship project will use the latest genetic technologies to explore the mechanisms through which E3 ubiquitin ligases target their substrates. The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is the major route through which the cell achieves selective protein degradation, and hence the system plays a critical role in essentially all cellular processes. UPS components are a largely untapped source of potential drug targets, but an enhanced understanding of how E3 ubiquitin ligases select their substrates is required to guide the development of novel therapeutics.
The successful candidate will undertake a three-year research project using a combination of expression screening techniques and loss-of-function CRISPR screening approaches with the goal of (1) identifying substrates of E3 ubiquitin ligases, (2) delineating the specific molecular features ("degrons") that dictate substrate recognition, and (3) exploring how these processes are corrupted in the context of viral infection and autoimmune disease. This studentship is ideal for someone passionate about genetics who is eager to exploit the latest technologies in areas such as CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing, microarray oligonucleotide synthesis, pooled lentiviral library expression screens and next-generation sequencing and associated computational approaches. At the end of the studentship you will have gained a broad range of key experimental and transferable skills, which will provide an effective springboard towards a successful research career in the biological sciences.
You will work in the Timms laboratory, based in the Cambridge Institute for Therapeutic Immunology and Infections Disease (CITIID) which is situated at the heart of the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. The Institute is housed within the brand new Jeffrey Cheah Biomedical Centre, thus benefitting from modern facilities and state-of-the-art equipment. You will also become a member of one of the 31 Cambridge Colleges, through which you will have access to accommodation and a wide variety of student clubs, societies and activities.
Relevant recent publications include:
Timms RT and Koren I (2020) Tying up loose ends: the N-degron and C-degron pathways of protein degradation. Biochem Soc Trans, 48 (4): 1557-1567.
Timms et al. (2019) A glycine-specific N-degron pathway mediates the quality control of protein N-myristoylation. Science, 365 (6448): eaaw4912.
Koren I, Timms RT et al. (2018) The Eukaryotic Proteome Is Shaped by E3 Ubiquitin Ligases Targeting C-Terminal Degrons. Cell, 173 (7): 1622-1635.
Further information can be found on the lab webpage, https://www.timmslab.com/studentships
Funding: For home students, the position is fully funded: you will receive an annual stipend of £18,000, and your University tuition fees will be fully covered for three years starting from October 2021.
