Susan Voake, former librarian at the Marion Cross School, lives in Norwich with her husband and springer spaniel. She collects antique dolls, buys and sells Victorian ladies' sentimentalia and ephemera, bakes cookies and enjoys summer days visiting her daughters, treasure hunting, or working in her perennial garden.
So tender. So beautiful. Through four seasons we follow the relationship of a one-eyed mongrel and a village outcast. In exquisite, wrenching detail we experience their coming together, their bonding, and their frustrations. I am not usually a reader of animal stories, but this small, carefully written novel held me from prologue to epilogue.
I have to face it: I am a sucker for historical novels featuring the lives of literary giants (or in this case, short people). Add to that the glitter of Manhattan's rich and famous, and I'm set for a six hour plane flight. Truman Capote is the center of this story and the swans are the coterie of wealthy women who were his confidantes in the 1950s and '60s. In National Enquirer fashion, we learn their foibles and secrets, but through a novel of manners, we see the consequences of their behavior over the larger social landscape. Lies, sex, and expose. It's all here.
Yann Martel takes us on curious adventures. The high mountains of Portugal are actually rocky plateaus but ascending them in a 1904 Renault (driven by a young backward-walking archeologist who has never before even seen a car nor really knows what his destination is or what precisely he is searching for) makes for the beginning of an unusual story. Add to it elements of extraordinary juxtaposition over the next 80 years—Agatha Christie mysteries viewed as modern Christian gospel, a bizarre autopsy, and recurring chimpanzees for example—and you have a fascinating novel of life and death that will surprise you again and again.
No one knows what really occurred aboard the Hindenburg during its journey across Europe and the Atlantic in 1937, but Ariel Lawhon weaves a compelling tale of those three days. The account is fiction, yet the characters are actual passengers and crew who flew on that trip including an American heiress, a disenfranchised German journalist, an American man of mystery, and a German acrobat. The intrigue is non-stop, one character's point of view following another, as we count down the hours of the Hindenburg's fateful flight and its aftermath. A great read for a cold night.
What is the genetic combination that produces a mathematical prodigy? The exquisite mental flights and excruciating psychological and physiological consequences awe the reader in this extraordinary generational saga. Canin's prose is lyric and his observations are profound and so provocative that I found myself flagging multiple paragraphs to reconsider and discuss. The mathematics in this novel may challenge you, but the humanity will not. Highly recommended.
1946: A deteriorating English country house, a family of young men determined to preserve it, an extraordinary young woman, and the life-changing power of music. 2000: A death, the view backward, the move forward, and the life-saving power of music. Exquisitely evoking sounds and sights, Natasha Solomon tells a tender story of love and family. This is a book for every Anglophile and music lover.
Yet another biographical novel? Indeed! With multi-faceted views of Vanessa Stephens Bell, Virginia Stephens Woolf and their extraordinary salon of Bloomsbury writers, critics and artists, we meet Vanessa and Virginia and their Cambridge brothers Thoby and Adrian and friends in 1905, the year after their father's death, the year that begins their lives as independents—breaking with Victorian social custom and expectation. Diary entries, cables, and letters carry us through seven evolutionary years in the sisters' lives and relationships--a stormy passage that will glue you to the page. I loved it!
Wowzers! That Kate Morton really knows how to spin a tale! A master of the incremental reveal, she uses multiple points of view, periods of time, and shifting locales to unravel a 70-year-old mystery—the Midsummer Eve disappearance of an 11-month-old boy from his Cornish manor house bedroom. The atmosphere is haunting, the characters have secrets galore, and there are red herrings throughout. Settle back on a cold afternoon and enjoy.
Laugh out loud and take out your recipe files for these vignettes from the first 30 years of the life of chef extraordinaire and enfant terrible, Eva Thorwald. A wide spectrum of voices—some that use expletives as often as conjunctions and some that will break your heart—tell this tale written almost as a collection of short stories as characters' lives cleverly intersect with Eva's. Highly recommended for foodies and anyone else looking for a tender (and tasty) romp in the kitchen.
Annie Barrows is a master at characterization, both of individuals and communities. As in her earlier book, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, we vividly imagine the small town of Macedonia, West Virginia, in 1938 and come to know its inhabitants like old friends. But there are secrets. And there is history. And what is fact and what is truth seems to depend on the person telling the story. When a wealthy socialite hired by the Federal Writers' Project comes to chronicle the past of Macedonia, 12-year-old Willa Romeyn discovers that the town she has grown up in and the people she has known forever are not always what they seem. A tender, humorous, bittersweet story that resonates long after you've read the last page.
Bright, cheerful illustrations tell the story of sprightly Audrey who decides the family house is getting to be too small for her. Together with her understanding dad, Audrey goes searching for a new place to live. She discovers just the right size tree and her father builds a tree house exactly to her specifications. However, once her father says, "Good night", Audrey has some second thoughts. A lilting, repetitive text makes for an excellent nighttime read aloud.
Looking for an enticing beach read? Fascinated by selkie myths or the tarot? Love those carnival settings? This will be a book that won't get sandy because you'll not be able to put it down. Simon, a young librarian, is losing his family's house to the cliff erosion of Long Island Sound. He has also lost his parents to unhappy deaths, his foul mouthed sister to the circus and now perhaps his job. Enter a mysterious, water-damaged 18th century carnival journal from an Iowa bookseller who believes the book relates to Simon's family history. A countdown begins as Simon investigates family coincidences through the generations that seem to ominously connect his past, present, and future.
Do you love a good picnic? The self-ascribed Portland Picnic Society certainly does and after perfecting the art of dining al fresco, several of their members have created this book just for you. Wow!! What fun it is! The picnic as an adult party venue is such a great idea. Tips on blankets, baskets and of course fabulous recipes for every sort of picnic treat and every age of picnic goer are included with charming illustrations. Treat yourself and/or give this book as a hostess/shower/wedding/ present together with a basket. The perfect gift for summer!
If you stand at the water's edge long enough, you may spot what many have described as a monster in the loch. However, when Sara Gruen unravels her tale of Scotland during wartime, that monster may appear in many forms, only one of which is reptilian. Issues of class, family, love and loss bind this story of bruised pride and a yen for adventure that send three wealthy, bored young Americans to a small Scottish village in hopes of documenting the beast.
Two sets of sisters separated by thirty years share this compelling story of Shaw's Training Homes for Watercress and Flower Girls where many of the orphaned and disabled children who sold posies at Covent Garden Market were saved from harm and starvation. We meet Flora Flynn and her soon to be missing sister Rosie in the back alleys of London in 1876. We learn of Esther Harper when we meet her sister Tilly taking the train from the Lake District to become an assistant housemother at the Homes in 1912. Tilly tells us often that there is no such thing as a coincidence; everything happens for a reason. So don't let a single detail slip past you as the lives of these sisters converge. Misery, jealousy, love and beauty permeate this tale. A little predictable but I didn't foresee many of the twists and turns. An engaging read!
An extraordinary harmonica changes the lives of three talented musicians in this lyrical story that moves from the enchanted world of a fairy tale forest to the very real world of the second world war. Recurring themes of bigotry, loyalty. loss and love echo through the movements which rise to an emotional crescendo at Carnegie Hall. A wonderful novel for young people celebrating the power of music.
A bard-like narrator weaves this tale of post Arthurian Britain. A mist of forgetfulness covers the land as elderly Axl and Beatrice leave their hillock village to visit the son they can barely recall. Crossing a land besieged by ogres, dragon and marauding soldiers, they are joined by a warrior, an orphan and Sir Gawain in what becomes a quest to restore the memory of things past. The pain of loss of every kind pervades this mysterious narrative which had me transfixed for an entire day reading from beginning to end.
A testament to love—lost, sought, and found—and the healing power of books, the tango and Provence. We meet aging bookseller Jean Perdu dispensing novel prescriptions for all the travails of the heart from his floating literary pharmacy moored along the banks of the Seine. We join him and a writers' block beset author phenom, in their odyssey down the canals of France.
Wise, humorous and heart breaking, The Little Paris Bookshop joins last year's gem, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, in that small clutch of novels that celebrate small bookstores and the treasures they hold.

Rainbow Resource Center Store
My son wanted a more hands on approach to math. I personally love the program we have, which is Singapore math. but I bought this because some of the concepts are not sticking and this approach is hands on and will allow him to think outside of the box for math. So far we have zipped through level 1 and 2 and are on our way to level 3. This is an extremely challenging math program.
Judy W on Oct 26, 2015
A friend of mine used these with her kids and loved them. I thought the Miquon math would help me know what to do with them.

Zowie Gear EC1 Evo Black Competitive Gaming Mouse Review
Using shades of grey to color the packaging, Zowie Gear puts its name and the EC1 eVo name in black and white text just above a large opening to see the mouse inside. On the left there are four images. The top one shows the DPI button you can find under the mouse, and the following three images show how the scroll wheel changes color to designate the three DPI levels set into the mouse.
In what appears to be Japanese and Korean text, you will find that the features and specifications are displayed here for these countries. At the bottom is the product name on top of the gamers name HeatoN who helped develop this mouse with Zowie Gear.
The back continues with five more languages covering the features and specifications. Other than that, you have the Zowie name and site address, and you also get a face shot of HeatoN here too.
This side of the box is your instruction manual. In order to set the polling rate of the EC1 eVo, you need to follow these steps and note the numbers on the two side buttons to make it all work. Along with no drivers, there aren't any instructions inside, so this is it.
Inside of the box is another layer of cardboard that has been folded and arranged to help keep the mouse centered during shipping. There is also a plastic cover over the mouse that sets in from the back and it keeps the mouse in place.

Bulgaria's President Georgi Parvanov presented for the first time the yearly John Atanassoff award given for special achievements in the filed of computer engineering. The first laureate of the prestigious award is Preslav Nakov from the town of Veliko Tarnovo. Parvanov announced the setting up of the award in October. He also said that it will be presented annual to young Bulgarians that showed great achievements in the computers and informative technologies. In the beginning of October Bulgaria's President Georgi Parvanov led a special ceremony to inaugurate a monument of the modern computer inventor Bulgaria-descended John Atanasoff. John Atanasoff Junior was also present at the ceremony. John Atanasoff, who is son of a Bulgarian immigrant from Bulgaria's village of Boyadjik in the Yambol Region, built the world's first electronic digital computer at US Iowa State University during 1937-42 together with his assistant Clifford Berry. Their creation incorporated several major innovations in computing including the use of binary arithmetic, regenerative memory, parallel processing and separation of memory and computing functions.Politics » Be a reporter: Write and send your article Expats.bg All Are Welcome!

I'm used to pseudo random number generators that return floating point values in the half open interval [0,1).
I've seen some reference to RNGs that can return values on the closed interval [0,1], e.g. this implementation of the Mersenne Twister.
I can see reasons why you'd want to exclude one, or both, of the endpoints for mathematical reasons, e.g.
exponentially_distributed=-logf( 1.0-rng() )
always yields a valid number if
But I can't think of a case where replacing an rng yielding [0,1] with one that yields [0,1) would produce any practical difference.
In what situations does having a floating point pseudo random number generator that returns values on the closed interval [0,1] absolutely necessary?

When leveraged correctly, virtual reality, augmented reality, connectivity, artificial intelligence and other innovations offer CPG brands a great opportunity to completely reshape category and brand experiences.

bought this and within 30 minutes of sitting in it the leg broke right at the joint. they are very pretty but they belong in an enclosed display because they dont last.
Chairs arrived quickly, easy to assemble. They are exactly the style I was looking for to compliment a high end dining table I purchased. The black and gray color was perfect. However the chairs are better made for looking and not regular use, the backs of the chairs move a lot and I am afraid after a good meal my guest will recline back a bit in the chair and simple snap the back of the chair off...will be returning them ASAP!!!
Great chairs! Very easy to put together. It only took me an hour to put them together.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? perfect match
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. great quality
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? very accurate

Why a man suffering a cold will be in agony, but a woman will shrug it off: Survey finds men are martyrs when it comes to illness
- Men are more vocal about their 'excruciating' headaches and 'crippling' colds
- While 79% of women will battle on regardless, men will moan to everyone
- Other words men regularly use to refer to their aches and pains include 'absolute agony', 'unbearable' and 'killing me'
Does man flu exist? If you're a man, it most probably does.
A survey has found that when it comes to winter illness, men are more vocal about their 'excruciating' headaches and 'crippling' colds.
While 79 per cent of women will battle on regardless, men will moan to all and sundry about their ailments, the poll of 2,000 adults found.
The weaker sex? Men are more vocal than women about illnesses they have, complaining of 'excruciating' headaches and 'crippling' colds
And while women generally try to ignore the onset of a cold or fever, men will grumble about 'being on death's door' and battling an illness which 'would kill a weaker man'.
Other words men regularly use to refer to their aches and pains include 'absolute agony', 'unbearable' and killing me', the survey found.
According to the research, for Superdrug, just under half of women often don't believe their partner when he claims to be ill, with 55 per cent believing the symptoms are often exaggerated.
Similarly, 55 per cent of men are accused of having a common cold when they are claiming to have full blown flu.
The study shows that when coming down with an illness, a third of men tend to mope around on the sofa all evening while the same percentage tries to get on with what they are doing, but end up whinging all the time.
In contrast, most women don't really let illness bother them, and try to carry on as normal.
Suffering: Men are more likely to moan about a cold than any other illness
And even if a man doesn't verbally moan about his ailments, he can be vocal in other ways.
One in five men are accused of coughing louder than necessary, for example.
A further fifth of men are caught sighing all the time, while 15 per cent are said to clutch the most painful part of their body.
However, despite feeling awful, 66 per cent of men will refuse to seek help from a pharmacist, medical professional or doctor, preferring to self-medicate or 'put up' with the illness.
The nation's men are more likely to moan about a cold than any other illness, with 57 per cent of women claiming their other half complains constantly when they have a runny nose.
The second most troublesome illness for men is a sore throat (53 per cent), while 45 per cent can't cope with a headache and four in 10 are wiped out with a cough.
But when
questioned, 64 per cent of men reckon they are able to ignore the onset
of a cold or fever, while seven in 10 reckon they battle on regardless
of how they are feeling when ill.
Mel Wilson, Superdrug head of health, said: 'If the nation's women are to be believed, men do seem to suffer more with their ailments, or at least suffer more publicly.
'Whether this is because women aren't overly sympathetic, or because men generally find it harder to cope is unclear, but the language men are using to describe their ailments is certainly interesting and hints towards a bit of an over exaggeration.'

Arizona Diamondbacks
Arizona Diamondbacks trade Chris Young, acquire Pennington and Bell in three-team deal
The Arizona Diamondbacks are wasting no time making plans for the 2013 campaign.
The D-backs announced two trades Saturday, which turned into a three-team deal.
Arizona traded center fielder Chris Young and cash considerations to the Oakland Athletics in exchange for shortstop Cliff Pennington and minor league infielder Yordy Cabrera.
The D-backs then flipped Cabrera to the Miami Marlins for veteran reliever Heath Bell and cash considerations.
In 2012, Young struggled through an injury-plagued season. He hit .231 with 14 home runs and 41 RBI in 101 games. Young will make $8.5 million in 2013 and has an $11 million club option for 2014 that includes a $1.5 million buyout.
The 29-year-old tweeted his appreciation to D-backs fans during his tenure in the desert.
Thanks to all the @dbacks fans who showed love and support over the past 6 years! Time flies!!. Love and appreciate u guys forever! #blessed
— Chris Young (@CY24_7) October 20, 2012
Pennington hit .215 with six home runs and 28 RBI in 125 games for the A's last season. He moved to second base after the team acquired Stephen Drew from the D-backs on August 20.
The 28-year-old finished the season strong for Oakland, batting .267 with three home runs and 10 RBI. In the American League Division series against the Detroit Tigers, Pennington went 4-for-14 with a .286 average.
Bell went 4-5 with a 5.09 ERA and 19 saves in 2012 for the Marlins. The right-hander lost his closer job a few times last season and often butted heads with manager Ozzie Guillen.
Miami inked the 35-year-old to a three-year, $27 million back-loaded contract last winter. The D-backs will pay $13 million of the $21 million owed to Bell.

We are thrilled to announced that Shine has won the PR Moment Not For Profit Campaign of the Year 2016 for our #smearforsmear activity with Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust.
Read more
Statistics from the charity revealed that, over one million women failed to attend their cervical screening. These figures were particularly concerning among 25-29 year olds where 1 in 3 did not take up their screening invitation. Our challenge was to increase awareness of the cervical cancer in the UK and, as a consequence, the number of women attending vital screenings - and so #smearforsmear was born.
Through strategic influencer and media engagement, Shine secured support for its selfie-based campaign from aspirational celebrities including Georgia May Jagger, Suki Waterhouse, Cara Delevigne and Rita Ora. The accumulative impact: 101.5 million reach on Twitter, 15,000 mentions of #smearforsmear, 8,000 selfie uploads on Instagram and, most importantly, a 30% uplift in women attending cervical screenings in the month following the campaign.
2nd February 2016
Following last year's success, Shine supported Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust in its second #SmearForSmear awareness campaign during Cervical Cancer Prevention Week from 24 – 30 January 2016.

Underpinned by research showing that 3.7 million UK women are not attending their screenings, the campaign urged women to attend their smear tests to reduce their risk of developing cervical cancer.
Enlisting social media support this year from influential celebrities including Cara Delevingne, Lauren Pope, Ferne McCann and Charlotte Crosby, the social campaign reached over 24 million through Twitter alone, with consumer coverage across key titles including MailOnline, Glamour Online, OK! Online, Heatworld, and Fabulous.

Jane Cooper, Director of Communications and Brand at Unicef UK commented, "We are delighted to have Shine on board for this exciting campaign. They have great experience and contacts to help make this integrated campaign hugely successful. The events in London and Edinburgh give us the chance to reach millions of people across the country in order to help millions of children in danger around the world".
David Wiles, Director of Shine stated, "This is an amazing opportunity for us to help Unicef make a real difference to children who are suffering in wars and disasters, like the one in Syria.
