Three workers were killed and one was injured when the wall of a rock quarry operating without a government permit collapsed in Taung Nyo village in northwestern Myanmar's Sagaing region on Monday, a local fire official and rescue worker told RFA's Myanmar Service.
Five people were working in the quarry, and three men and one woman were inside the mining area when rocks fell from an area about 12 feet above them, they said.
The dead included two men and one woman, they said.
The injured man was taken to a hospital in Mandalay, while emergency personnel tried to rescue two other workers, they said
Rescue teams arrived 30 minutes after the collapse, and soldiers, police, fire department members, and local NGO workers used machines to reach the miners, they said.
"It is an illegal quarry," said Kyaw Kyaw Naing, assistant director of the Sagaing Region Fire Services Department. "They were mining with machines underneath [the area], and the top soil was soft. It collapsed because of vibrations from the machines."
Rescue team member Lin Lin Oo said the female worker died of a head injury, and one of the men sustained a large cut on his waist from a big stone.
"We tried to rescue them in a way so as not to cause additional injuries," he told RFA.
Rock quarries, which supply gravel for building and roadway construction, often collapse in this region, but nobody had died there before, locals said.
"It is dangerous to perform mining without proper safety equipment," said Sagaing resident Aung Myint Tun. "It would be good to do this kind of work with a legal license and regulations for the use of safety equipment."

Multichoice Botswana launched the first ever documentary about Botswana on Zambezi Magic on Thursday. 'We are blue' documentary was done by Donald Molosi and produced by Touch Studios through a young Motswana named Otsetswe. For the producer it was his first time doing a project of that magnitude. Multichoice's Thembile Ndzinge expressed her excitement about this project which is their first project as Multichoice about Botswana. She said the management of Dstv decided to come up with something that can celebrate Botswana and as such Donald Molosi was the best person to do a great job on that. Ndzinge said the reason why they decided to come up with that was because of the discussions that took place at last year's Africa Day where they engaged media people and creatives about what is lacking in Dstv and what they can do better. "We wanted to contribute to the arts and the society we live in and as such we looked for a documentary that highlights the history of Botswana," she said. She encouraged Batswana to make sure that they tell stories that are authentic and not copy things from outside. The documentary sees Molosi exploring the city of Gaborone where he is now based; his home village Mahalapye, Serowe and also covers some of the notable Batswana on issues of gender, the economy and their experiences about this land they call home. Some of the people featured are the 2nd President Sir Ketumile Masire who always has a lot to say having been very close to the 1st President Seretse Khama.
He covers some of the most interesting aspects of Botswana like Basarwa, the love story of Ruth and Seretse, how the Zebra became the national animal and Matsieng's footprint. He provides a narration of events and uses his path as a performer. Many people who watched the documentary congratulated Molosi for the great work and for doing a great representation of Botswana. After watching the film Molosi said he felt very emotional to see the story playing, especially having to watch it with people. He said the project is so dear to him and wishes many Batswana stories can be told through the eyes of others other than the love story of Ruth and Khama. "This is not the popular story and it is not an easy story to swallow but I am glad Multichoice took a chance," he said. Molosi said it is time all those great stories about Botswana are told, including the ones of the four young people who died on the spot when they were coming to Gaborone to help in the building of the university since they were volunteers at the Lady Ruth Charity in Serowe. He said he hopes his work inspires more to explore this untold history of Botswana. Multichoice Botswana Marketing Manager Basadi Masimolole said they will see how the film goes and eventually it will be shared with many other channels on the Dstv.

Garrison Keillor talks "Prairie Home" retirement
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: After decades spent entertaining radio, film and television audiences, "A Prairie Home Companion" host Garrison Keillor has hinted at a retirement.
In an interview with the AARP Bulletin, Keillor, 68, said he'll retire when he turns 70 (in the spring of 2013), but plans to find a replacement for his wildly successful public radio variety program before he departs the airwaves.
"I'm pushing forward, and also I'm in denial. It's an interesting time of life," Keillor said in the interview.
He then elaborated to the AP that 70 "seems like a nice round number."
"The reason to retire is to try to avoid embarrassment; you ought to do it before people are dropping big hints. You want to be the first to come up with the idea. You don't want to wait until you trip and fall off the stage."
Possible replacements include singer Sara Watkins of the band Nickel Creek, who hosted "Companion" once earlier this year.

The Glen target too far for BITS cricket team
BITS fell agonisingly short in their run chase against the Glen on Saturday.
Chasing the Glen's first inning's score of 128, BITS was cleaned up for 122. Jason Seng tore the heart out of the visitors with five wickets.
Glen captain Michael Heymer said it had been an even bowling performance that prevented BITS from reeling in the target.
Earlier, Luke Marsh top scored with 38 as the Glen compiled a modest total.
But it was a day when bowlers dominated.
BITS' bowlers Dan Hawkins (3-35) and Terry Sawyer (3-18) comdined to restrict the Glen batsmen. BITS would have considered themselves a strong chance of getting the 128 required for victory but it wasn't to be, despite the best efforts of Lucas Hall (42) and Josh Walters (31).
Heymer said the game was won in the second half of the day as the Glen defended.
"Everyone who dug in and bowled well, that's what won us the game," he said.
But BITS president Nev Judd said his boys could win another flag, with the right motivation.
Cricket halts over Christmas period. It resumes on January 5, 2013.
- The Glen batted first and was bowled out for 128.
- BITS fell short of the target by six runs, being bowled out for 122.

This year's Bridgehampton Road Rally and brand new Tour d'Hamptons will feature some special guests on October 1, including the esteemed Master of Ceremonies, racing announcer and journalist Robert Marlow, and his colleague and friend of 20 years, Tomm Scalera, the founder of CarShowSafari.com.
Together, the two men bring decades of car knowledge and experience to an event already brimming with auto racing history, beautiful vintage cars and a long list of activities celebrating over a century of motorsports in Bridgehampton.
As emcee of the Road Rally and Tour d'Hamptons, Marlow will announce each car as it sets off for one of the two drives around the Hamptons. He will also announce the awards and take part in various other talks and events throughout the day.
"I started my racing career on Long Island," Marlow says, explaining that he announced his first auto races at Freeport Municipal Stadium, which closed in 1983 and was eventually torn down in 1989. But his love of racing and cars began much earlier.
Originally from Northern New Jersey, the now 64-year-old Marlow fell in love with the sport after his father, a vintage car collector, built the Pine Brook Stadium racetrack in 1962. He started as a newspaper vendor in the stands, then a scorekeeper, announcer and, finally, writer, which he says is the best job out there. "I get to go [to races] for free, I get the best seat in the house, and I get paid to do it," he laughs.
Marlow was a correspondent for the weekly National Speed Sport News in 1973 and was a regular contributor through 2010. "My primary beat was regional short-track racing, but through the years I was able to cover everything up to the Indy 500 and Formula 1, and events from coast-to-coast," he explains.
Marlow is quite comfortable with a microphone in his hand. He became a speedway public address announcer in 1974 and has since been on the mic at more than 60 tracks—from the indoor arena at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall to the road course at Watkins Glen International, and everything in between. With his announcer cred well in hand, Marlow says he's emceed more racing award dinners, auto shows and similar events than he can count.
Today much of his efforts go into working with Scalera on CarShowSafari.com, a website covering all auto events around the country, which regularly publishes Safari News, featuring original articles by Marlow and others, along with video content and much more auto-related resources and fun.
Scalera, who says Marlow is a smart and lively announcer with an "encyclopedic knowledge" of racing, shares the story of how his website was born after he drove his 1962 Thunderbird convertible to an out-of-state car show. Upon arriving he found himself in an empty field with a handful of other car enthusiasts who, like him, were wondering why the show was cancelled despite perfect weather. He checked his smartphone for any indication of the cancellation or alternative events to attend, but he found nothing. Later, after returning home, he learned that another car show had occurred on the same day, not far from where he'd just been. As a result, Scalera tasked himself with creating a website that lists every car event with real-time updates to help all enthusiasts make informed choices and avoid the disappointment he experienced.
A great deal has gone into making CarShowSafari.com what it is today, but Scalera says this is just the beginning, adding, "We have a lot of concepts we want to build into the site as it grows." He plans to share what he's already accomplished, as well as what he sees for the future, at the Bridgehampton Road Rally on Saturday, October 1 at the Bridgehampton Museum.
Visit BridgehamptonRally.com for details about the Bridgehampton Road Rally and Tour d'Hamptons, including car registration.

The year 2018 marks the centenary of the end of World War I. 'The War to End All Wars' or 'The Great War for Civilisation' did not achieve what the belligerents or its protagonists imagined. Neither did it end 'Before Christmas', as the British expected, nor 'Before the Leaves Fall', as per the German objectives.
The armistice was signed at 11 am on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 in the railway carriage of Marshal Ferdinand Foch in the Forest of Compiegne, north of Paris. The Treaty of Versailles of 1919 ended the war between Germany and the Allied Powers. November 11 is commemorated as Remembrance Day.
Major-Gen Ganga Singh (Maharaja of Bikaner) was a member of the Imperial War Council in 1917. India was a separate signatory to the Treaty of Versailles and a founding member of the League of Nations.
It was the only non-independent territory to have this status. Ganga Singh was the sole Indian or 'non-white' representative at the signing of the treaty. The iconic painting, The Signing of Peace, shows an imposing Ganga Singh in uniform with the traditional safa.
The Great War was dominated by technological developments of the barbed wire, heavy artillery, magazine-filled rapid-fire rifles and belt-fed machine guns. All contributed towards the butcher work. The industrialised fighting changed the nature of war.
About 70 million military personnel were mobilised and 16.5 million killed. Of the million horses employed, only 60,000 survived. India provided 1.73 lakh horses, mules and camels for the war and recruited over 14.40 lakh men, sent more than 13.81 lakh for service overseas, of which 74,187 officers and men were killed and another 70,000 wounded.
Of the killed, 13,516 names are inscribed on the India Gate Memorial, New Delhi, completed in 1933. India bore the cost of these men, besides an outright contribution of £100 million towards the overall war effort. India's contribution was never fully acknowledged by Imperial Britain. Independent India remains indifferent, labelling it as 'not our war' and participating reluctantly in events commemorating the war centenary.
An Indian soldier wrote home from the Western Front: And so the war is raging by sky and land and sea,/And underneath the water, five kings are fighting three/The cannon roar like thunder, the bullets fly like rain,/And only the hurt, the maimed and blind will ever see home again. (Shrabani Basu; For King And Another Country.)
Renewed interest and research prompted by the war centenary 2014-18 has thrown up material on India's critical contribution, especially in the initial phases on the Western Front and in the closing stages in the Middle East.
While the larger issues of empire, colonialism, class and its effect on an entire generation impacted the world at large, the war also left some memorable terms and phrases on the military and everyday lexicon. Even vernacular languages felt the effect.
When the German warship 'Emden', prowling in the Bay of Bengal, shelled Madras harbour and the city on September 22, 1914, causing mass evacuation, it brought the war to India before Indian troops went into action on the Western Front.
The Tamils, evidently impressed with the demonstrated German capability, coined a new word — 'emden', meaning 'an enterprising, resourceful and meticulous person'. Sikh soldiers returning from the war and evidently impressed by officer ranks went on to name their children Kaptan, Major, Karnail and Jarnail Singh.
The war produced some outstanding poetry and prose, mostly by young men who saw the horrors first-hand in the trenches. Some are universally inscribed on memorials and cemeteries. The fourth stanza of Laurence Binyon's For the Fallen, published in The Times on September 21, 1914, has come to be the universal 'Ode of Remembrance' read at most commemorations: They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old/Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn./At the going down of the sun and in the morning/We shall remember them.
Lt Col John McCrae, a Canadian, seeing poppies near the grave of his dead friend, in lament wrote In Flanders Field: In Flanders fields the poppies blow/Between the crosses, row on row,/That mark our place; and in the sky/The larks, still bravely singing, fly/Scarce heard amid the guns below.
In Flanders Field struck a chord with the public and poppies soon came to be associated with the war dead. Poppy wreaths are today symbolically laid on war memorials. Some countries like Canada have a poppy imprinted on the car number plate to signify the owner as a veteran. Remembrance Day is also called Poppy Day.
In India, we do not have any such symbolic association to remember and commemorate the war dead, though in our tradition and culture marigold flowers find prominence both to celebrate and to mourn. In Indian life, colours hold especial importance. White is widely accepted as the colour of peace and purity. Yellow symbolises sanctity and therefore yellow marigold are used on auspicious occasions while saffron represents courage and sacrifice.
The Armed Forces Flag Day observed on December 7, since 1949, is the only official annual event related to the soldier. It is a day dedicated to the collection of funds from people for the welfare of the armed forces personnel. Perhaps it would be appropriate to institute the saffron marigold as our symbol of recognition of the dead soldier and upgrade the Flag Day into Remembrance Day.

About the Advocacy Sub-committee
WIRV's advocacy sub-committee provides a forum to advocate for and empower women in the restructuring insolvency industry. It promotes the cause of women in insolvency, educates WIRV's members and the wider community about gender parity and gender equity in the insolvency industry.
Some of the ways that the advocacy sub-committee achieves its objectives are:
- hosting an annual International Women's Day lunch;
- a mid-year function focussed on the International Women's Day theme for that year;
- organising an annual mentoring program for practitioners in the insolvency sector; and
- providing information and educating WIRV's members about issues regarding women in insolvency.
Mentoring Program
"You can't be what you can't see!"
WIRV recognises the importance of mentoring, particularly for the junior women in the profession. The WIRV mentoring program provides the opportunity for WIRV members at any level to be provided with a mentor from the industry. The program is coordinated on an annual basis.
Mentors and mentees are generally paired together in November/December of the previous year, with mentors and mentees committing to a 12-month program running from January to December in the following year. The goal is for mentors and mentees to meet once per month to gain the maximum benefit from the program. WIRV also educates its members about the benefits of mentoring.
For more information about the WIRV mentoring program please contact the Advocacy Committee by email at email@example.com.
International Women's Day Lunch
WIRV hosts its International Women's Day lunch annually in March each year. Typically it is a three-course networking lunch with pre-lunch and post lunch-drinks. The lunch features a panel discussion by industry specialists on the International Women's Day topic for that year. The panel are invited to provide their personal insights, feedback and advice on the topic.
On 28 February 2019 we hosted our 2019 International Women's Day lunch at Mural Hall.
We heard from panellists Claire Bibby, Corporate Counsel and advocate, Mark Hachouli, National Australia Bank, and Her Honour Judge Marks from the County Court, discuss this year's IWD theme of Balance for Better. The panellists discussed how balance is good for business, and how our workplaces should reflect the diversity in every day society.
You can see photos from the event here.
Mid-Year Lunch Function
WIRV organises a mid-year lunch function to encourage its members to continue the discussion around the International Women's Day theme for that year.
It is an opportunity for members of our insolvency industry to hear from other practitioners about ways to strive towards gender parity and equality for women in the insolvency industry. This year, WIRV hosted the event at the Myer Mural Hall in Melbourne. The panel was comprised of Catherine Torres (Director, CorCordis), Bridget Slocum (Barrister, Victorian Bar), Nathanael Kitingan (Principal Lawyer, Macpherson Kelly). Don't miss out on this fantastic event next year.

Principles of Social & Political Theory
Principles of Social & Political Theory
This book is based on a course of lectures regularly delivered in the University of Cambridge during the latter years of my tenure of the Chair of Political Science. (The course was last delivered in the academic year 1938-9.) Encouraged by some of those who originally attended the lectures, and especially by one or two who have since become teachers and lecturers in the subject, I have turned some eighty pages of crabbed manuscript notes, packed with additions and alterations, into something which may seem new and strange to those who knew the argument in its original form. It has been a little like putting the pieces of pith called 'Japanese flowers' into water; but it has taken much more time and very much more mental effort. I despaired again and again in the course of writing the book (the arteries of the mind are hardened by the time one reaches the middle seventies); but somehow I got to the end, and I now present to the reader the testament of my old age.
I had written the major part of this book when I came across a passage in one of Professor Whitehead's books which comforted me greatly. It is a sentence in one of the essays in his Aims of Education, and it runs as follows: 'It should be the chief aim of a University professor to exhibit himself in his own true character--that is as an ignorant man thinking, actively utilising his small store of knowledge.' I was the more comforted by these words, and especially by the word 'ignorant', because I was very conscious of my want of that sort of knowledge of politics which comes from actual experience. But my mood changed when I noted that Mr. Amery, in the introduction to his Thoughts on the Constitution, had quoted a sentence from Spinoza which could not but be depressing to the theorist of the study. 'It cannot be doubted that politicians themselves have written much more happily than philosophers about political matters.' Professor Whitehead had comforted me. Could I think of any comfort in the face of Spinoza's dictum?
A reflection occurred to my mind, which I drew from my master Aristotle. In a passage in the third book of his Politics he draws a distinction between those who are 'executants', or 'men of directing skill', in any given field of activity, and those who . . .

Handsome Family Last Days of Wonder
Published Jul 01, 2006As the Handsome Family, husband and wife duo Brett and Rennie Sparks have traversed the alt-country explosion of the last decade and come out the other side with an album that proves they are light years beyond any fickle genre fad. With their seventh disc, the Sparks couple have grown more experimental musically and more tender lyrically. Bretts impeccable arrangements, meticulously crafted in his Albuquerque garage-cum-recording-studio, frame Rennies most darkly beautiful poetry yet. Theres plenty of the usual morbidly amusing Handsome Family fare: corpses and graveyards and deadly swamps harbouring human skulls. But the album also travels through strip malls, airports and claustrophobic hotel rooms places that seemed quotidian until Brett and Rennie paid them a visit and demonstrated just how enchanting they can be. The quavering instrumentation (which includes chiming bells, a saw and samples of a glass harmonica supplemented by real bowed crystal wineglasses) is grounded by Bretts warm, earthy baritone. A truly magical album. If you listen closely enough, it might just inspire you to dance in your underwear on the golf course at three a.m.
Thematically this album is more uplifting than your previous ones. Why the change in perspective? Rennie: For a long time I couldnt really see too much wonder in the world. Im starting to see little glimpses out of the corner of my eye, though, even as the world itself gets really scary. These days its really extreme, the difference between beauty and ugliness. Things arent as grey as they used to be. Maybe in response Im starting to see all the little things that I didnt realise were beautiful before.
What response do you hope to provoke in your listeners with the songs on this album? I would love people to feel a sense of mystery and wonder, to feel that life is interesting and worth experiencing. Were barraged, especially in America, with a constant voice of brainwashing on TV and the radio and the billboards about this certain mood were supposed to have: a vaguely positive but not too exuberant attitude towards shopping and work and family. Its all very lacking in any kind of introspection. I think that leaves you with a very stale existence. Its crucial to remind yourself that there are other experiences out there besides the ones that have been marketed to us. Even when youre on the highway or in a shopping mall or on a bus, there are moments that can transport you. Mystery and meaning can be found anywhere. (Carrot Top)

Currently, a parody of a Miley Cyrus video is an Internet phenomenon. "Party in the FIP" is a take-off on Cyrus' hit "Party in the USA," which is on Hollywood Records, a Walt Disney Company. "FIP" refers to Fire Island Pines, a famously gay New York beach. The video features, in the words of MSNBC host Carlos Watson, "guys dancing on the beach in Speedos."
In a segment on August 31, Watson said, "It appears that Disney is in on the joke, or at least they're laughing at it too." He turned to cohost Kerry Eleveld, of gay publication The Advocate. "What do you think about Disney, who doesn't always seem to be the most progressive company in the world, seeming not only to be to be okay with it but making phone calls to the creator of it?"
"They might not be incredibly progressive," Eleveld said, "but they're smart business people. It never hurts to have gay men on your side."
The company has apparently figured that out. Disney World theme park in Orlando, Fla. has been hosting "Gay Days" since 1991.And for Disney to wink at the use of tween-idol Cyrus' material shows just how important the gay market is to the company.
As Reason Magazine's Jesse Walker wrote in 2000, "In one of the most famous copyright cases of the '70s, it successfully halted sales of Air Pirates Funnies, a risqué underground comic by Dan O'Neill featuring the Disney characters, even though the comic was clearly a Mad-style parody." Disney was also at the forefront of lobbying for the Bono Act of 1998, which extended U.S. copyright terms by two decades.
As laudatory as Watson and Eleveld were of Disney's selective progressivism, they showed a new respect for Cyrus, who has said she liked the parody.
"It is so interesting to me how Miley Cyrus, unlike the one-hit wonders who seem to fade away, she seems to keep getting bigger. She seems to keep growing into new audiences," Watson said.
"Yeah, yeah, and of course, she's been on Facebook and Twitter talking about this particular video, saying how much she loves it. So – I can't remember what her exact buzzword was," Eleveld replied. "She continues to grow. She may have an edge. Obviously she has a father in the business. It helps to see what kind of path he took. Maybe he's giving her a few tips."

Pontentiation means the use of a substance that promotes the effectiveness of another substance. Insulin potentiation therapy is an alternative stage 4 cancer treatment that uses insulin and chemotherapy medicine. The treatment uses more of insulin to enhance the effect of the chemotherapy medicine.
The enhancement ensures that minimum side effects occur and the patient becomes more receptive to treatment. The low dosages of chemotherapy in the insulin Potentiation therapy allows the therapy to be done frequently. Patients benefiting from this form of therapy have an easier experience and are able to work on their nutrition. In addition, they are able to prepare their mind and body for healing without experiencing stem cell side effects. It is imperative to mention that a number of insurance firms do not cover the therapy. This situation leaves patients and their families to dig deeper into their pockets to fund this treatment.
Benefits of Insulin Potentiation Therapy
A number of clinics have opened up and are offering this form of treatment as an alternative to other intrusive treatment. Insulin Potentiation Therapy is slowly gaining popularity and has similar benefits with iv ozone therapy. The benefits of the insulin potentiation therapy are as follows:
- Patients who have exceeded the maximum number of chemotherapy can still get treated.
- The reduced side effect makes it ideal especially in situations where the patient is vulnerable and weak.
- The alternative therapy only targets the cancerous cells and does not tamper with the healthy cells.
- This form of treatment is less toxic and does not weaken or lower the immune system of patients.
- The reduced side effect enables a patient using insulin Potentiation therapy to be healed quickly.
How does Insulin Potentiation Therapy work?
Just like the way milk thistle seed is meant to kill toxins in the liver, chemotherapy is meant to kill the cancer cells. However, it also weakens and drains the energy of the patient. It also has a number of side effects because of the strong components found in the drugs. The insulin potentiation therapy was started after the discovery that cancer cells are highly active insulin receptors.
The insulin allows chemotherapy to target cancer cell by working on the cell membranes. Chemotherapy ends up killing the cancer cells but with minimum side effects. The chemotherapy drug is rendered more potent because of the insulin and this situation means that less chemotherapy is required. A patient experiences reduced side effects during insulin potentiation therapy.

Two Rivers: Fish or cut bait?
Photo by Andrew Turck
Big Horn County Commissioner Sidney Fitzpatrick speaks to a crowd of about 100 people late last Thursday afternoon on the expected benefits of expanding the county jail. The current jail has a 34-inmate capacity and has been stretched nearly double that limit with 60 people.
Photo by Andrew Turck
Jeff McDowell, executive director of Two Rivers Authority, explains his group's role in relation to Hardin's Two Rivers Regional Detention Facility and its bondholders.
An estimated 100 local residents packed the Big Horn County Courthouse basement late last Thursday afternoon for an informational meeting on the proposed expansion of the county jail. Hanging over the proceedings – as expected by county commissioners and citizens alike – was the question of whether it would be a viable option to use Hardin's Two Rivers Regional Detention Facility, which contains 464 beds and has remained vacant since January 2016. Either the jail expansion or use of Two Rivers appear to be the main options left for housing local inmates.
County officials seemed to unanimously support the construction of an expanded facility, while many of those present at the meeting expressed – sometimes blunt – reservations toward that idea.
Among the most vocal supporters for use of the Two Rivers facility was Gabe Scheidt of Kemph Land & Livestock near Custer, Montana, who held a microphone with one hand and gestured with a packet of financial data in the other.
"In the private sector, we don't reap any benefits without taking a little bit of risk and thinking outside the box," Scheidt said as audience members clapped. "As your constituents, we're asking you to have that same viewpoint, look outside the box and perhaps think of this not as a chain around your leg that's holding us down, but an opportunity for us to bring more jobs into this community, to bring more people into this community and bring more income into this community."
Though residents and officials often disagreed on which of the two options to take, no one suggested the county continue to operate the jail at its current state – in a nearly 40-year-old facility, with 60 people held in a space meant legally for 34.
"There's nobody here who disagrees: We need a new jail. Period," Scheidt said. "Does anybody disagree with the fact that we need a new jail? No. We're on your side."
A PowerPoint presentation by the county also mentioned a third option: Housing inmates at the Yellowstone County Detention Center in Billings. According to Yellowstone County Sheriff Mike Linder, however, his facility is overcrowded as well, holding 530 people in a space meant legally for 434.
Big Horn County Undersheriff Mike Fuss said the county has "three cabinets full" of outstanding arrest warrants, totaling to "at least" 500 people. Sheriff Frank Simpson added that some of those scheduled for arrest only will be in jail "for an hour or two," or overnight before they post bond. With three officers per shift, he continued, "you can't arrest 500 all at once."
On Nov. 6, residents will decide in a special election whether to allow the county to obtain a loan of $7.3 million. This money, a legal notice states, would be used to pay "a portion of the costs of designing, constructing, equipping and furnishing a law enforcement facility" and increasing "existing jail space." By the end, the expanded county facility would be expected to house 96 inmates. From there, Big Horn County Commissioner George Real Bird III said, "there is the potential to increase to 144 beds."
"It allows for the safety of our workers, our detention officers, the safety of the inmates themselves and for the public," Real Bird said of the jail expansion. "With this proposal before you, there are no new taxes planned."
Funds for construction, according to Real Bird, would be gained through coal royalties from Lighthouse Resources – who owns the Decker Mine – and Cloud Peak Energy – who owns the Spring Creek Mine. Candy Wells, administrative assistant to the commissioners, added that Big Horn County has been receiving about $2 to $3 million in royalties annually. Cloud Peak, she said, expects to continue its work "for at least 10 years," which also is the length of the county's planned loan to pay off the expanded facility.
Construction and use of a new county jail, the PowerPoint presentation states, is expected to cost $34.8 million over a 25-year period. This amount, it continues, totals about $12.8 million less than the $47.8 million required to renovate and use the Two Rivers facility over the same timeframe.
If detainees were sent to the Yellowstone County facility, the PowerPoint states, transportation and housing would cost Big Horn County taxpayers $2.7 million annually and would total out over 25 years to about $69.4 million.
When Scheidt suggested sub-letting Two Rivers to pay off the difference, Big Horn County accountant Mike Opie brought up a discussion he had with his "largest potential customer," the Montana Department of Corrections.
"They don't want my services," he said. "They're looking to reduce their service contracts with people already providing services to them.
"They also would be my regulator if I decided to operate any facility at a profit."
According to Real Bird, it currently costs the county $72 per day to house a prisoner and the MDOC will only give the county $69, so "we're losing $3…a head."
Big Horn County had attempted to purchase Two Rivers in 2012 and 2017 but, according to the PowerPoint, they "could not reach a fiscally-responsible agreement" with the facility's bondholders.
The Hardin detention center is operated through a partnership between the bondholders and Two Rivers Authority, as explained during the meeting by TRA's Executive Director Jeff McDowell.
"We are the nominal owners of the facility; our name is on the deed," Mc-Dowell said. "It's basically a mortgage situation, where the bondholders own the mortgage.
"Any time we want to enter into a contract to run the facility or sell it, we need to get approval from the bondholders and the trustee. If the county came to us and said, 'We'll give you $5 million,' we cannot accept that offer unless the bondholders and the trustee approve."
Early into the meeting, Big Horn County Commissioner Sidney Fitzpatrick spoke on his efforts to open the Two Rivers facility that began when he was elected to the position in 2011. His attempts were stymied, he continued, by political pushback from the State of Montana.
A 2012 article from The Associated Press notes there wasn't a high demand for jail space in 2007, when the Two Rivers facility was constructed. In addition, it states, Hardin's efforts were hindered further by "strained relations between city leaders" and former Gov. Brian Schweitzer, "whose administration said it had no use for the jail." Strained relations, as explained by Fitzpatrick, also bled into the county government.
One of the most oft-cited demerits toward the Two Rivers facility thus far has been the fact that it is not accredited by the American Correctional Association. That stated, a search for ACA-accredited facilities shows that neither is any county jail in Montana.
"In good faith, I wanted to open the doors. In good faith, the two commissioners – one out, the next one on his way out – made offers. And I made an offer and it didn't go," Fitzpatrick said. "I even went as far as trying to have Yellowstone County help me, their commissioners. And they did and I got a lot of heat from the governor…lots of heat from the DOC."
The Yellowstone County commissioners began receiving calls from the governor, Fitzpatrick continued, and one official referred state complaints toward Big Horn County.
"I really never knew the governor," Fitzpatrick said, "but from that point on, there was no nothing there."
TRA Chairman Jon Matovich disagreed with the county's conclusion regarding the Two Rivers facility. During the meeting, he insisted an agreement between the bondholders and county still could be struck.
Borrowing a phrase from Scheidt, Matovich suggested that county officials "think outside the box" when determining how they might use Two Rivers. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement – or ICE – he said, "is looking for beds."
"They have come to us to use that facility; that's in the process," he said. "If you want to have a negotiation, have it. That is an opportunity that is not being looked at.
"There is no other place in the community or in the state that [such an] opportunity sits there and waits. If you make a good-faith offer – I'm not going to say what that needs to be, but I know it's available – if you make that offer, I know it's considerably less than what you're planning on spending."
Fitzpatrick, however, remained steadfast in his opposition to Two Rivers.
"Here's a fair question in my brain," Fitzpatrick said. "If it's legal, if it meets the standard and if it's supposed to make money…why weren't the doors open 10 years ago?"

Researchers at Harvard John A. Paulson School have created a robot for the first time that can fly as well as swim through water. Though, creating a robot that can fly as well swim is a difficult task, it required combination of two contradictory designs, aerial and aquatic vehicles.
The biggest challenge is conflicting design requirements: aerial vehicles require large airfoils like wings or sails to generate lift while underwater vehicles need to minimize surface area to reduce drag.
RoboBee has been attached with insect-like wings that help it to generate strong vertical lift and move through air and also move underwater by minimizing surface area. Researchers at SEAS have been successful in creating a RoboBee on being inspired by Puffin, of the rare birds that use flapping motions of its wings to propel themselves through the air as well as water.
"Through various theoretical, computational and experimental studies, we found that the mechanics of flapping propulsion are actually very similar in air and in water," said Kevin Chen, a graduate student in the Harvard Microrobotics Lab at SEAS. "In both cases, the wing is moving back and forth. The only difference is the speed at which the wing flaps."

Side effects of lisinopril are usually mild and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider. In previous research studies, 5.7 percent of people with high blood pressure stopped taking lisinopril because of side effects. Of the people taking it for congestive heart failure, 11 percent stopped treatment because of side effects. Of those who took the drug following a heart attack, 17.6 percent stopped taking it due to side effects. Common side effects of lisinopril include fatigue, upper respiratory infections, body weakness, and nausea.
(Click Side Effects of Lisinopril to read the full eMedTV article, which provides more detail about lisinopril side effects, such as how often they occur, rare side effects, and side effects that should be reported immediately to a healthcare provider.)

HP Labs at the 2013 Cheltenham Science Festival (UK)
Encouraging interest in science
Contributed by Simon Firth, freelance technology journalist
Once again this year, HP Labs was a major presence at Europe's largest festival of science and technology. The Cheltenham Science Festival runs for a week in June, bringing over 30,000 people to the historic English spa town of Cheltenham to view exhibits, hear talks on the latest in science research, and take part in workshops aimed at furthering public engagement in the field.
This was HP Labs' 3rd year as the festival's leading technology sponsor, notes HP Labs Bristol communications manager Lucy Feilen.
"It was a fantastic success," Feilen reports of last week's event. "This year we had over 30 HP Labs employees involved in different activities. It was a great chance to share some of the work we are doing at Labs, and also to help enhance the public understanding of science and technology in the UK."
One event new to the Festival saw more than a dozen HP Labs engineers helping introduce school children to basic computer programming. Using the ultra-cheap Raspberry Pi processor and the Python programming language, students were offered a basic introduction to the concepts underpinning the technologies that already figure prominently in their lives. "We had over 120 eleven year-olds come through in one day," recalls Feilen. "And, by the end, the majority of them were learning to come to grips with Python. It was pretty impressive."
The Festival also featured a one-day Cyber Security Conference that gathered 150 security experts from around the UK to talk about how organizations can better protect themselves, their employees, and customers from the growing threat of cyber-crime and business interruption.
Martin Sadler, director of HP's Security and Cloud Lab, was a featured speaker, discussing how to protect a company's infrastructure from the outside, especially as organizations are storing ever more of their proprietary data in cloud-based systems.
HP Labs cloud security researcher Miranda Mowbray, meanwhile, was asked to introduce internet pioneer Dame Wendy Hall's keynote talk, Is the web changing society? Hall was one of the first computer scientists to undertake serious research into multimedia and hypermedia and was a Guest Director of this year's festival.
The lecture was packed, says Mowbray. "It was a great talk," she recalls, "and I was especially struck by the part where Professor Hall said it was up to us – all of us – to look after the Web, keeping it free to access for the benefit of humanity."
Among the other festival highlights, Mowbray especially enjoyed the interactive exhibits offered at the Science in the Square area. "My favorite stall at the festival," she says, "was the one run by the EU Octopus project, which featured a high-dexterity soft-bodied robot inspired by octopuses."
The festival's educational outreach will continue through the rest of the year, an effort that's also supported by HP Labs.

Kymba Asked Clive Palmer For His Mobile Number And Oh My, The Irony Was Palpable
Isn't it ironic
Clive Palmer came into the studio and immediately, Kymba asked him for his private mobile number, so, you know, she could text him multiple times.
Turns out he wasn't that keen.
Hear The Exchange
Clive didn't stop there though. Turns out he doesn't think very much about Australian Parliament.
The chat in full was equally robust. Clive tackled all the big topics and why he wants to put "Australia first".

The Dangers of Polypharmacy
Note: Never stop taking a medication without permission from your physican.
Your cardiologist prescribed you a medication; your endocrinologist prescribed you a medication; your general practitioner prescribed you a medication. How do you know if all of these prescriptions go together? Are over-the-counter (OTC)?medications safe to take?
Polypharmacy is generally defined as "a medication count of five or more medications." Taking multiple medications as we age is common; some of our systems need a little extra help or we have extra aches and pains. It is important to be up-to-date with how your medications combine and what you can do to keep yourself safe.
When a drug enters the body from say, an oral route, it is immediately pushed through the GI?sytem and absorbed by the small intestines. From the intestines, the medication is distributed in the blood stream; it is then metabolized by the liver and excreted by the kidneys.
When a medication is absorbed into the blood stream it binds with protein. Once protein bound, it becomes ineffective. The medication that does not bind to proteins is the active medication that treats the body. If two highly-protein bound medications are taken together then the meds will fight for spots on the protein causing an imbalanced distribution of the medication; this can lead to problems.
Issues that can occur due to polypharmacy include: cognitive impairment, falls, incontinence, and nutritional status.
So how do you keep yourself safe?
Inform all of your physicians of your medications; whether they're generic or brand-name; the dosage; frequency; and any adverse reactions you experience with it.
Use the same pharmacy for all your medication; your pharmicist will alert you to any incompatibilities to a medication.
Check with your physician or pharmacist to make sure your medications are safe with over-the-counter medications. Some OTC meds have effects that are lesser known by the general population. For example: NSAIDS?(ibuprofen, naproxen) have blood thinning effects.
While the internet is a great resource to find out information about your medications, it is not the expert- your pharmacist and doctor are. Do not use the internet to decide whether or not you are going to continue to take a medication. Once again, never stop taking a medication without the permission of your doctor.
Ask whether or not you can consume alcohol. Some medications are harsh on the liver as that is where it is metabolized. Alcohol is also metabolized by the liver. If the liver is overloaded it can start to fail. Examples: acetamenophen (Tylenol) and alcohol do not play well together.
Do ask questions. It is okay to take up your pharmacist's and physican's time in order to fully understand your own health. Ask why you need the medication; what side effects of a medication are; ask how your medications work together.
While one of the best parts of living in the world we live in is easy access to health care and medication; it is important to stay consistent with physicians and pharmacists. If you have trouble remembering whether or not you took your medication make sure to discuss this with your physician. A "pill-minder" can also be useful in dividing your medications for daily consumption.

Did you know that air leakage can account for up to 25% of winter heat loss is buildings? Or if you live in a hot climate, that could be 25% of the cool air produced by expensive air conditioning systems.
By taking the time and advice to seal your home properly you can expect to reduce both your financial costs (energy bills) and damage to the environment (through carbon emissions).
Many people do worry that too much sealing and insulation can create problems with air quality inside the property as well as condensation. However it's simply a matter of sealing your home effectively and taking into consideration a number of factors.
Which Parts Of Your Home Should be Sealed?
There are a number of key areas where air generally leaks through. If you work hard to seal these efficiently, you'll notice an almost instant drop in the amount of energy you use cooling or heating your home.
The largest air leakage in homes is generally from floors, walls and ceilings with features such as fire places also accounting for over 10% of leakages.
Areas to target include:
- Doors and windows
- Vents, skylights and exhaust fans
- Ceiling insulation
- Pipes, power outlets and switches
- Element junctions
- Floorboards
When Is The Best Time to Seal Your Home?
If you're designing or building a home from scratch, you should absolutely including sealing as a key stage of the process. Similarly, if you're refurbishing or renovating your home, this is an excellent time to seal it properly.
Don't worry if neither of these apply to you – simply plan your sealing around a time of year when temperatures are at their least extreme. Consider the area where you live and the weather conditions and temperatures you experience in each season.
How Do You Know if Your Home is Leaking?
There are several ways to detect leaks and you can either do these yourself or you can employ experts to come in and assess the situation for you. It's definitely worth taking the time to detect leaks properly to avoid issues being left unnoticed and developing into bigger problems.
Try to plan a schedule for sealing leaks – ideally you want to tackle ceiling level leaks before floor leaks as these lose more heat. Equally, larger holes or cracks will obviously leak more air than smaller ones – yet remember that all of them will eventually need attention.
What Are The Key Steps to Sealing Your Home?
- You need to identify all the obvious gaps – make a list of them and start with the most pressing. Having written a list, you can also then go back and check them regularly to ensure sealing methods have been effective.
This step is the most important and many people simply stop here, enjoying a well sealed home with far fewer air leaks and a substantially reduced amount of energy use.
- You can also depressurise your home – this sounds extreme but it's an effective technique which will certainly help in your quest for an energy efficient home.
Ideally depressurise your home on a cool or windy day. Close all windows and doors and turn off any units which blow air into the house. Instead, turn on all fans possible to help suck air out. You can then use an incense stick or similar to pass around common leak sites – if smoke is blown back into the room, you've identified an air leak.
You can reverse this process to pressurise your home and identify further issues.
Should You Go Further with Professional Help?
For some people, just sealing windows and door frames will feel like enough. For those who want to take things further and really ensure that their home is operating at its optimal efficiency, there are a few things to consider.
- Thermal Imaging: you can either hire a team to carry out a thermal imaging study of your home, or you can hire equipment and do it yourself. Some digital cameras now even have thermal imaging functions on them already.
- Professional Inspections: with the help of qualified technicians, you can have air leak audits carried out on your home. Many companies offer building sealing services and tests such as the 'Blower Door' test can help to measure the air tightness of your home.

These past few months have been for me all about simplifying. I got rid of all the clothes, books, stationary, and to-dos I didn't really needed and just kept the essentials. This whole process has been very eye opening. You really don't realize how much stuff you really own until you move… or simply empty out your closets.
The modernization of our world has given us an endless amount of possibilities in every aspect of our lives. We must be very thankful for that, but also very careful. We can easily end up complicating our lives and become overwhelmed about everything we "have" to have or do.
When it comes to our spiritual growth, we fall in that trap too. We have a wide selection of Bible translations and formats to choose from, books, sermons, devotionals, reading plans, podcasts, study guides, commentaries, prayer journals, lettering, Sunday morning service, Sunday night service, prayer meetings, women brunches, youth camps, Bible school… and a thousand things more.
Only because we can afford to do something it doesn't mean we should do it.
And this is exactly what "Simplify Your Spiritual Life" by Don Whitney is all about.
Simplify Your Spiritual Life
When we become too overwhelmed, we might feel the need to just throw everything away and hide under our blankets. This is not the solution. A simple spiritual life is not about living in a forest and just take long walks. Actually, Jesus had the best spiritual life of all time and was very active, always busy and at the service of others. The key was that He had (has) his priorities clear. He was doing what He needed to do, nothing less and nothing more.
Simplifying is not so much about doing fewer things as it is about doing the right things (p. 19).
In 200 pages, Whitney offers us a variety of things we can try to simplify our Bible reading, prayer life, time management, and even our relationships with others. He, of course, warns us not to try to implement everything at the same time. As you read each chapter —only a couple of pages long— you'll be able to identify little tweaks you can make to improve your routine.
As it has so much wisdom to benefit from, I'm sure I'll be getting back to this book when I start feeling overwhelmed. We always need to be considering our ways and aligning ourselves to the path God wants us to be in.
In some ways we're doing more than ever spiritually, but enjoying and profiting from it less. Many areas of our lives are productive and prosperous, yet we've never felt so spiritually withered (p. 23).
The author is not offering a "how to have eternal and perfect joy right now" formula (you'll have to wait for heaven to get that). Neither he'll give you tips on how to read your Bible or pray less and "more effectively". Having communion with God through the spiritual disciplines is a delight for the true Christian. It is the unnecessary clutter we burden ourselves with that ruins everything for us.
We don't simplify our spiritual life in order to avoid the spiritual disciplines, but to practice them more fruitfully (p. 53).
If you've become tired and feel that pursuing the spiritual disciplines is more a chore than a joy, you need to do something about it. God wants us to delight in Him, not merely check off box everyday. When we take the time to make our spiritual life more simple and enjoyable, everything else we do will benefit from it.
The spiritual life is the best place to start simplifying all of life. Any transformation there has the power to affect everything else we do (p. 53).

Hey Guys,
I am try to do some background research on D. trimaculatus breeding. We currently have quite a few breeding pairs at my work and would like to set up a few systems to try and capture the eggs and breed them. I have found limited info online (including a Malaysian science journal) and was hoping to find some more detailed info here. Anyone know if these are very similar to other speices?

Burlington Industries, Inc. v. Ellerth
RESPONDENT: Ellerth
LOCATION: United States Department of State
DECIDED BY: Rehnquist Court (1986-2005)
LOWER COURT: United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
ARGUED: Apr 22, 1998
DECIDED: Jun 26, 1998
Barbara D. Underwood - Argued the cause for the United States, as amicus curiae, supporting the respondent
Ernest T. Rossiello - Argued the cause for the respondent
James J. Casey - Argued the cause for the petitioner
Facts of the case
After working for Burlington Industries for 15 months, Kimberly B. Ellerth quit because she allegedly suffered sexual harassment by her supervisor - Ted Slowik. Despite her refusals of Slowik's advances Ellerth did not suffer any tangible retaliation and was, in fact, promoted once. Moreover, while she remained silent about Slowik's conduct despite her knowledge of Burlington's policy against sexual harassment, Ellerth challenged Burlington claiming that the company forced her constructive discharge.
Can an employee, who despite refusing sexually harassing advances by a supervisor suffers no adverse job-related consequences, recover against an employer under Title VII of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964, without showing that the employer was responsible for the supervisor's harassing conduct?
Media for Burlington Industries, Inc. v. Ellerth
Audio Transcription for Oral Argument - April 22, 1998 in Burlington Industries, Inc. v. Ellerth
William H. Rehnquist:
We'll hear argument now in No. 97-569, Burlington Industries v. Kimberly Ellerth.
Mr. Casey.
James J. Casey:
Mr. Chief Justice, and may it please the Court:
Is an employer strictly or automatically liable for job-related threats made in conjunction with sexual advances when the employee has suffered no tangible job detriment for the rejection of those advances... in other words, the unfulfilled threat?
We submit that the answer to that question is no.
Strict or automatic liability should not be applied in a situation of unfulfilled threats, but rather should be analyzed--
Sandra Day O'Connor:
Mr. Casey.
James J. Casey:
Sandra Day O'Connor:
It sounds to me like you're asking question 2 of the questions presented on petition for certiorari, which is whether strict liability is the proper standard.
Now, I thought the Court didn't grant certiorari on question 2.
I thought we granted certiorari on question 1.
James J. Casey:
That is correct.
Sandra Day O'Connor:
Most of your brief addresses question 2.
I mean, are we going to talk about question 1, on which cert was granted?
James J. Casey:
Justice, the... the... the question... question 1 is the un... is whether or not the strict liability standard ought to apply in the unfulfilled threat situation, where... where there is no adverse job consequence.
Sandra Day O'Connor:
Well, it doesn't address strict liability actually.
It says whether a claim of quid pro quo sexual harassment may be stated under Title VII, when the plaintiff has neither submitted to the sexual advances nor suffered any tangible effects.
That's the question.
James J. Casey:
Yes, Justice.
Sandra Day O'Connor:
It... it doesn't refer to strict liability.
James J. Casey:
--Under... under the assumption, Justice, that in... that most courts, who have addressed the issue, have addressed quid pro quo as a strict liability issue.
And that's why I referred to the strict liability for the unfulfilled threat.
And... and that's why I believe it is... it is cognizable under question 1, which is the question that the Court did accept.
You are quite correct about that.
But almost all of the courts who have addressed quid pro quo sexual harassment have addressed it under the theory of strict liability for the employer, where there has been a adverse job action, such as a termination of employment, a demotion, a transfer to a less fulfilling job, a loss of benefits.
These are all tangible job detriments, where the company has acted, through... through a supervisor.
Antonin Scalia:
Well, there... there's really no other reason to have the quid pro quo category, is there?
James J. Casey:
Absolutely not, Your Honor.
Antonin Scalia:
Except to establish a different standard of liability.

I set a simple method called "GameUpdate", using AddTimer(GameUpdate, 25); during the GameStarted event.
I have put a System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch to measure how often the method is called, but to my surprise this is how it looks every call:
45, 22, 36, 26, 36, 27, 33, 26, 30
Which means the first call took 45 milliseconds since the AddTimer to the method actually being triggered.
Second time was 22 milliseconds, and so on...
Why is this not consistent as the 25 Milliseconds which was specified using the AddTimer function?

The Huntress, New Novel by Kate Quinn is a Must Read Historical Fiction.
The Huntress, New Novel by Kate Quinn is a Must Read Historical Fiction, the novel is published by William Morrow Paperbacks and had its release on 26th February 2019.
About The Book:
Bold and fearless, Nina Markova always dreamed of flying. When the Nazis attack the Soviet Union, she risks everything to join the legendary Night Witches, an all-female night bomber regiment wreaking havoc on the invading Germans. When she is stranded behind enemy lines, Nina becomes the prey of a lethal Nazi murderess known as the Huntress, and only Nina's bravery and cunning will keep her alive.
Transformed by the horrors he witnessed from Omaha Beach to the Nuremberg Trials, British war correspondent Ian Graham has become a Nazi hunter. Yet one target eludes him: a vicious predator known as the Huntress. To find her, the fierce, disciplined investigator joins forces with the only witness to escape the Huntress alive: the brazen, cocksure Nina. But a shared secret could derail their mission unless Ian and Nina force themselves to confront it.
Growing up in post-war Boston, seventeen-year-old Jordan McBride is determined to become a photographer. When her long-widowed father unexpectedly comes homes with a new fiancée, Jordan is thrilled. But there is something disconcerting about the soft-spoken German widow. Certain that danger is lurking, Jordan begins to delve into her new stepmother's past—only to discover that there are mysteries buried deep in her family . . . secrets that may threaten all Jordan holds dear.
In this immersive, heart-wrenching story, Kate Quinn illuminates the consequences of war on individual lives, and the price we pay to seek justice and truth.
"Well-researched and vivid segments are interspersed detailing Nina's backstory… a fierce yet vulnerable antecedent to Lisbeth Salander. Quinn's language is evocative of the period, and her characters are good literary company. With any luck, the Nazi hunting will go on for a sequel or two." (Kirkus Reviews)
"Quinn delivers a suspenseful WWII tale of murder and revenge. This exciting thriller vividly reveals how people face adversity and sacrifice while chasing justice and retribution." (Publishers Weekly)
"Gripping historical fiction" (Good Housekeeping)
"Kate Quinn's follow-up to "The Alice Network" is compulsively readable historical fiction… A powerful novel about unusual women facing sometimes insurmountable odds with grace, grit, love and tenacity." (Kristin Hannah, Washington Post)
"Quinn deftly braids the stories of a female Russian bomber pilot, Nazi hunters, and a young Bostonian girl staring down evil in the most unthinkable of places. The result is a searing tale of predator and prey, transgression and redemption and the immutable power of the truth. An utter triumph!" (Pam Jenoff, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Orphan's Tale)
"Prepare to be spellbound! The Huntress masterfully draws you in and doesn't let you go. Another brilliant work of historical fiction by the incomparable Kate Quinn."
(Susan Meissner, bestselling author of As Bright as Heaven)
" The Huntress left me breathless with delight… Kate Quinn has created nothing less than a masterpiece of historical fiction."
(Jennifer Robson, bestselling author of Goodnight from London)
