Well Kresley Cole does it again! Another thrilling, sexy, fun, romantic adventure and one outstanding sequel. I never thought the 2nd book would ever come close to Poison Princess but much like her IAD series they just keep getting better and better. This story has so many twists and turns and "I didn't see that coming" moments. I was literally on the edge of my seat for the entire listen.
The world building, character development and plot twists are pure genius. Nothing feels contrived or forced just to move the plot along. Endless Knight has a lot more action and is a little darker than the first book. The Arcana are starting to form alliances as battle lines are drawn in a fight to the death. Throw in some bagmen, militia and cannibals and you have a non-stop, thrilling adventure.
Definitely a 5 star listen!

Fast-paced and sexy! Can't wait for the next book!
If you could sum up Endless Knight in three words, what would they be?
Nail-biter (that's one word, right?), steamy, surprising. Or maybe "Your Death awaits"?
What was one of the most memorable moments of Endless Knight?
There are so many...I can't narrow it down to just one! Endless Knight is cover-to-cover action. Without giving any spoilers, my favourite moment comes towards the end of the book, when Evie learns just how skilled Death really is. Wow. In fact, I loved almost all of the interaction between Evie and Death in the second half of the book.
Other memorable moments include meeting new Arcana (both friend and foe), Evie going hardcore Empress and coming into her powers, and Jack and Evie "checking the perimeter".
Have you listened to any of Emma Galvin's other performances before? How does this one compare?
Emma Galvin is one of my favourite narrators. I wouldn't have discovered Poison Princess (the predecessor to Endless Knight) if I hadn't been so impressed with her other audio performances and sought out audiobooks narrated by her. She makes the story come alive.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes! I nearly did too.
Any additional comments?
The world that Kresley Cole has built for Endless Knight (and the first book in the series, Poison Princess), from the tarot card players (Arcana) to the post-apocalyptic world, is fascinating.
I would have given the story five stars but the cliffhanger ending was too abrupt for my liking. I like suspense and I understand that it builds anticipation for the next book, but it left me feeling like the book was unfinished.
And for adults wondering if Endless Knight is age-appropriate, other than the ages of the main characters, I wouldn't even classify this as young adult. There's way more sexual content than I'd feel comfortable letting my teen read, but I loved it. Is it hot in here?

Team Death all the way!
Going into POISON PRINCESS I couldn't help thinking Young Adult—this is going to suck, but Kresley Cole's writing quickly won me over to Evie's side, and then Emma Galvin sealed the deal with her mesmerizing narration. And now, here I am, completely committed to this series, and putting my stamp of approval on book 2. The characters show a level of maturity that I never expected from this genre, and there was even a sex scene in this installment. Yes folks, don't let these teenagers fool you, this is grown up YA at its best. The author does such an amazing job of making readers dislike Death that when the love triangle began to develop I was convinced that nothing could sway me from Team Deveaux. Well, now I'm eating crow because Aric was so skillfully fleshed out that the Cajun is just a distant memory. Jackson who?
For a girl that doesn't want to play the game, Evie sure is racking up Arcana symbols! I love how far she's come from that scared young woman refusing to accept her new, albeit harsh reality, to the ring leader of an unlikely alliance of Arcana. Greene shows mercy when the situation calls for it, and still believes that more than one power card can survive the coming battle, but when he friends' lives are on the line, she doesn't hesitate to do what must be done. I enjoyed witnessing the Empress embrace her powers in ENDLESS KNIGHT; her abilities may be the complete opposite of Death's, however life can, and does annihilate just as easily. Evie continues to surprise me at every turn from how she deals with the teeth (carnivores), to certain characters' two-facedness, to Aric's unexpected past. The Red Queen is no pushover!
Coles' dystopian world-building marched forward in this installment with the Hierophant, Devil, Tower, Strength, Judgment, and World cards. I liked learning more about their tableaux, calls, and powers as well as the characters that they represent. I also developed a soft spot for Scarface, Cyclops, and Maneater—Lark's wolves. The plot line was uncomplicated: escape Death, and when that fails, survive him. I enjoyed the showdown leading up to Evie's capture, and her time with Aric was enlightening to say the least. I was happy that Jackson was finally clued in to the game and ecstatic when he and Evie found a brief respite in each other's arms. But of course, just when Greene decides to trust him his deception comes to light.
This novel took so many turns that I did not see coming, and oddly enough, I found myself rooting for the bad guy! Like most other readers, love triangles are the bane of my existence, but the one in ENDLESS KNIGHT is so far removed from what is typical of this trope that I wasn't the least bit upset by it when it eventually surfaced. I'd mentioned in my review of book 1 that Emma Galvin's narration carried that installment, so I was relieved to see her flying solo this time around. I'm not knocking Keith Nobbs' delivery, but I prefer to give credit where it's due. Galvin excels at bringing THE ARCANA CHRONICLES' dark tone to life while still doing the youthful characters justice with a YA authenticity that so many performers in this genre lack.
ENDLESS KNIGHT concluded with one heck of a cliffhanger, but that's a recipe for success as far as pre-orders of DEAD OF WINTER go because you can bet I'll be glued to my earbuds come hell or high water on January 6th, 2015.

Never Saw It Coming...
I've waited a year for this book to get here and now I am riding a high of many emotions. Kresley threw us a curveball with this book. There were at least 3 times, maybe more, that I had to stop and say "OMG, SERIOUSLY??" And then rewind and listen again.
Emma does an amazing job narrating and this book is perfection. This is definitely a book you will have to read.
Do I have to wait another year for the last book???

Cole is a master!
First Impression:
Cole is a master at delivering a dark and interesting dystopian world and I can't get enough of it.
Favorite Line/Quote(s):
"Cannibals need love too."
"Death wants to gank me. Must be Tuesday."
The Narration:
Emma Galvin has the prefect voice for this series. She has a young and smokey voice that allows her to pull of both the female and male characters.
What I liked:
I'm not a huge YA reader and one of the things I love about Endless Knight is that it doesn't feel like YA. Cole weaves a very compelling story of romance, action and mythology around the arcana to satisfy even non YA readers. Even though this world Cole has build is very dark she lightens it with great secondary characters and their snarky humor and she pulls off the YA romance without all the angst you get with some YA books. Sure there is a love triangle forming in Endless Knight but it's a believable one that you would find in an adult novel.
Cole also does an amazing job with making me fall in love with the "evil" guy. And that's hard to take a character that is seen as evil and turn him around to where you sympathize with him and want him to have a HEA.
The Arcana game is in full swing and Cole imagination is limitless and I'm in awe of the world and characters she has crafted.
What I didn't like:
Having to wait for the next book.
Lasting Impression:
I'll still be thinking about this book for a few more weeks.
Will I continue this series: Yes. A thousand times yes!
Would I read this author again:
YES! I love her adult PNR series, Immortals After Dark and now this series. I will read ANYTHING that has Cole's name on it!

So Good!
Loved Poison Princess, and this book is better. It has more action and more characters. I listened to it in two days. And now I am pissed because I have to wait forever for book 3. I love the twists and turns that take place with Jack and Evie, and then with Death and Evie. It definitely goes in a direction I wasn't expecting - but I loved it! Love love love Emma Galvin too.

Death you take my breath away!
If you could sum up Endless Knight in three words, what would they be?
Oh My God
What other book might you compare Endless Knight to and why?
Endless Knight stands alone. Kresley Cole played with all my emotions and I loved it.
What does Emma Galvin bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you just read the book?
Ms. Galvin brought the book to life. Evie and Jack were so amazing.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Love, Hate and Tears...
Any additional comments?
Highly recommend Endless Knight.

Oh The Ending!
What did you love best about Endless Knight?
I love the history between The Empress and Death, finding this out was awesome!
What other book might you compare Endless Knight to and why?
This series really stands out from any other series I have read, one of a kind for sure! Kresley Cole is amazing, and this world she created is so awesome.
Which scene was your favorite?
I honestly can't pick just one.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I relly don't want to give anything away here, but when Evie found out what Jack did....
Any additional comments?
This is a young adults book, but honestly I wouldn't let my child under 18 read it... although nothing in this book would probably be a shock to most teenagers these days, there are some pretty steamy parts.

Nice Sequel
Would you consider the audio edition of Endless Knight to be better than the print version?
No, I actually read most of the book. I'm not sure if it's because the previous audiobooks I listened to (Susan Ericksen in the In Death series) are excellent hence the comparison and I found the narration for this book lacking.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
I couldn't distinguish who is speaking, when Evie is thinking or speaking aloud. So to give justice to the book I had to read it instead.

Great Book, Rushed the Ending
Great story. Cole is an excellent writer and did a fabulous job of ushering the reader into an entirely new set of conflicts for the protagonist. Couldn't stop listening. . . and then came the end. The end was rushed, chaotic and conflicted with all of the carefully established character development just tossed out of the window for no reason, as far as I could tell. That being said, while the end was a let down, a big one, because I had become so invested in the outcome, the story is still worth a credit. If this were a stand-alone book, then I would say, save the credit. Fortunately, there is more to come for the characters; it is, therefore, to be hoped that the author won't get tired of developing conflict and forcing the protagonist through difficult decisions. I'm eager to see what comes next. I am also hopeful that the author will pull the protagonist back on track. Cole's writing is superior, so hopefully, all of that teenage angst stuff was just a momentary blip in a modern tale of fate gone awry.

While I'm a little past working out which clubs the under 30's are frequenting, I am quite interested in where they are looking at purchasing their homes.
This is a simple example of the insights available when data is captured and sliced and diced in the right way. Analysing the postcodes of mortgage applications shows where someone has got the price point and product right for first home buyers. The challenge comes with the crystal ball forecasting of those trends to read where the next hotspot will be and capitalise on opportunities before others do.
It's no surprise that Queensland has performed so well on the list with the price differential between it and the southern states at the highest its been in years.
A new study shows where Australians under 30 want to live, as well as the country's most popular state or territory, by analysing mortgage applications. According to research by credit scoring and information service Credit Simple, Queensland is the most popular state for mortgage applications by people under 30. Breaking down each state and territory across January to June 2017, Queensland had 17 per cent of its mortgage applicants under 30 years old, higher than the national average at 15 per cent. This was followed by Western Australia at 16 per cent, South Australia at 15 per cent, Victoria at 14 per cent, NSW and Tasmania at 13 per cent, the Australian Capital Territory at 12 per cent and the Northern Territory at 11 per cent.

Joliet City Council to consider three new honorary street names
Rex Robinson | 12/16/2013, 8:07 a.m.
The Joliet City Council tonight will discuss a proposal for three new honorary street names.
In October, the city council approved an ordinance approving an honorary street naming program. The new program requires a fee and signatures from residents to get an honorary street named after someone.
Since then, the city has received three requests for honorary street names. The first is for the relocation of a previously installed honorary street name on East Cass Street between Cassidy and Parks. That section of Cass was named in honor of Pastor Robert L. Doris in recognition of his community work in and around the Prayer Tower Church of God in Christ.
The church relocated to 500 Stryker Avenue more than a year ago. Pastor Warren Doris has requested the honorary street name designation be transferred to Stryker between McDonough Street and Interstate 80 in front of the new church.
The second request is from the family of Bob Cassanova, who was a barber in Joliet for 64 years. His shop was at 118 N. Ottawa Street and he worked there five days a week until his death at age 96. The family would like Ottawa Street from Clinton to Jefferson Street dedicated in his honor.
The third request is from the Forest Park Community Center. Officials from the center would like the newly constructed Woodruff Road bypass to be named of Louise Ray, founder of the Forest Park Community Center.
With the third request, the adopted street naming criteria does not need to be followed because it is a newly constructed road, according to Joliet City Manager Jim Hock.
The city council's Land Use Committee reviewed all three requests on Dec. 3 and has recommended the city council approve all of them.
The council is expected to discuss the three resolutions for the honorary street names at the pre-council meeting tonight, scheduled for 5:30 p.m.

Dies Natalis Honorary Doctorates
(03-02-2019) On Dies Natalis, 22 March 2019, Ghent University will be honouring Krista Bracke and Frances Morris with an institutional honorary doctorate. Six faculty honorary doctorates will also be awarded.
Institutional honorary doctorates
These honorary doctorates are awarded to persons for special social merits.
- Krista Bracke (Lokeren, b. 1968) was a presenter and producer at Radio 1 until she was suddenly infected by a carnivorous bacterium in 2009 and appeared to suffer from an immune disease. She survived, but the attack on her body had serious consequences: the loss of both her lower legs, a distorted right hand, a chronic lung disease, and an immune defect. This Ghent native wrote a book in 2014 on her struggle to survive – which she also partly fought at and together with Ghent University Hospital – and to deal with the limitations of her new life entitled My life on stilts.
- Frances Morris (London, b. 1959) is the director at the Tate Modern, the British museum for international modern and contemporary art, which she has been involved with since 1987. In the various positions she has held there for over thirty years of her impressive career, she has undeniably contributed to the impressive development of Tate Modern into one of the world's most popular and leading museums. As curator and head of the exhibitions, she does not shy away from innovation and renewal; her approach has inspired other museums around the world.
Faculty honorary doctorates
On 22 March, another six faculty honorary doctorates will be awarded to members of Ghent University. These are distinctions for scientific merit and go to individuals who have demonstrated a high degree of merit in academic education, scientific research, and social or scientific services.
→ For the Faculty of Sciences, the honorary doctorate goes to Professor Ludwik Leibler (Ecole Supérieure de Physique et Chimie Industrielles, Paris)
→ For the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, the honorary doctorate goes to Professor Rainer F. Storb (Medical Oncology Division, University of Washington, School of Medicine, Seattle, Washington; Head of the Clinical Research Division, Transplantation Biology Program, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, USA);
→ For the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, the honorary doctorate goes to Professor Hisashi Kobayashi (Sherman Fairchild University Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Emeritus, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey, USA);
→ For the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, the honorary doctorate goes to Professor Erik-Hans Klijn (Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences, Department of Public Administration and Sociology/Public Administration, Erasmus University, Rotterdam);
→ For the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, the honorary doctorate goes to Professor Brian A. Nosek (Department of Psychology, University of Virginia; Center for Open Science, Charlottesville, Virginia, USA);
→ For the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences, the honorary doctorate goes to Professor Habib Ayeb (Département de Géographie, Université de Vincennes, Saint-Denis, Paris; Observatory of Food Sovereignty and Environment, OSAE).
Many honorary doctorate recipients give a lecture in the faculty during the week of Dies Natalis. These lectures take place on 21 March 2019.
- Brian A. Nosek: Open Science Symposium 'Making Open Science a Reality'
- Erik-Hans Klijn: Research seminar on network governance
- Ludwik Leibler: Symposium 'How chemistry and physics of nanoparticles can be combined for organ repair'
- Hisashi Kobayashi - Origins and Future Perspectives of Performance Evaluation of Computers and Communication Networks
- Rainer Storb - Lecture 'Brief History of Stem Cell Transplantation'

Orangeburg County considers business licensing
June 13, 2017
Orangeburg County, SC
By John Mack | T&D Staff Writer
Orangeburg County Council is considering requiring businesses to obtain a license.
County Administrator Harold Young said a business license would bring additional revenue and that would save us from having to increase millage.
Council members discussed implementing a business license program during a budget work session last week.
Right now there is nothing in the county, Planning Director Richard Hall said. If a business is in the city and they do work in the county, the city collects all that money because we dont have a business license.
The county is considering a plan with a varying rate, depending on the type of business. On average, businesses would pay $1 per $1,000 in revenue for companies making less than $1 million.
Theres a declining rate structure built in for businesses making over a million dollars, which would hit a lot of the industrial stuff, Hall said.
He noted that there are currently 1,750 businesses with gross sales of $1.2 billion. If averaged, this would mean each business makes around $719,000.
Hall said based on that number, it could mean additional revenue for the county of almost $1.3 million in business license taxes.
We feel like this is a low number, he added.
Hall said city had roughly $1.1 million in revenue from business license taxes last year.
Its about 12 percent of the finance departments budget, he said.
Hall said the county gets calls weekly from businesses asking how much they owe the county for a business license.
We just tell them we dont have one, Hall said.
Councilwoman Janie Cooper-Smith said, Were losing revenue right there.
Councilman Harry Wimberly asked if businesses would need to pay for both the citys business license and the countys.
If they have a business thats inside the city limits and they do work in the county, they pay a percentage for the work they did in the county to the county, Hall said. That comes off of their city business license.
Cooper-Smith asked how the license would work for peddlers.
Its a combination effort, Hall said. You write the people that are out there without a license a ticket.
She also asked, How hard is it to get a business license?
Hall said a business license is really just a formality.
For a peddler, it doesnt matter, he added. You come in and you fill out a piece of paper and you apply for it at the county.
Businesses must go through a process, which includes the county ensuring that the business meets the zoning requirements for its property.
Wimberly asked about agricultural businesses.
We dont have a profit margin, he said. When I carry a crop to market, I get paid what they say, not what I say.
I may have a gross income of a million dollars, but I might have a profit margin of 1 percent and youre going to take 2 percent of that for business taxes, Wimberly added.
Hall said it would be an easy fix to adjust who pays what.
The business license, its not a tax on profit or anything like that, it is a fee for your ability to do business in a jurisdiction, he said. We would just have to determine what all businesses fit into that category that you want.
Wimberly suggested a flat fee for agricultural businesses that grow products, not including agriculture-related businesses such as Super Sod.
Hall said the county will look at how other counties have been handling agricultural businesses.
If council approved the business licenses over the course of three readings and the public heating, the licenses could go into effect on Jan. 1.
Council members felt they should push to have it sooner for prospective businesses.
Youve got to look at whats coming, Wimberly said. If they come, weve got to have it July 1.
Whatever weve got to do to have it July 1, we need to do it, Councilman Clyde Livingston said. The county could lose revenue from contractors who do spot work after July 1.
Young said, Even if you pass it July 1, we dont have the infrastructure in place to back it up right now anyway.
Hall said the county would need to find and purchase necessary software, get ready for billing and hire a business license director.
Council directed staff to research the possibility of passing the ordinance before the next fiscal year and holding first reading at the next council meeting.

It is important to organize examinations of medical students in a structured-manner so that they can gain entrance to training at any medical foundations with exceptionally designed special antiepidemic mode (maternity healing centers and hospitals, surgical doctor's facilities and hospitals).
The senior member's office on practical training completes the appropriate work with backing of contacts with practical human services and cares foundations in different regions and localities of Ukraine, Chief administration of health awareness in c. Kyiv, administration of pharmaceutical unions and plants so as to furnish with providing a noble cause of training to students and to get the information and data specifically and directly from preparing bases.

It should be addressed to the head doctors and chief directors of the organizations and establishments where the practical training bases are originally located. Students belonging from various fifty seven countries as well as local or national students can also pass through this practical training. The most eligible and experienced teachers and specialists, who can speak English consistently with accuracy as well as having the knowledge of the medical terminology used in English, are assigned to carry out the practical training of the students.
Due to the orders from MHC of Ukraine, the practical training of students at pharmaceutical faculty is held within 1,134 hours (31.5 credits), among them 378 hours are assigned to the independent work of students beyond classes: after the first course – academic propedeutic training of chemist's technology of drugs, introductory training on organization and economy of pharmacy (per 54 hours, 1.5 credits); after the second course – academic trainings – field training on medical botany (108 hours, three credits) and introductory medical training (54 hours, 1.5 credits); after the third course – academic training on pharmacognosy (108 hours, 3 credits); after the fourth course – academic training on industrial technology of drugs (54 hours, 1.5 credits) and practical training – on chemist's technology of drugs (162 hours, 4.5 credits); after the fifth course – academic training on clinical pharmacy (54 hours, 1.5 credits) and practical training – on pharmaceutical chemistry (162 hours, 4.5 credits), organization and economy of pharmacy (162 hours, 1.5 credits), on management and marketing of pharmacy (108 hours, 3 credits), as well as specialization (54 hours, 1.5 credits). The practical training is held under supervision of more than forty highly skilled teachers from medical university, at places – under supervision of doctors and pharmacists, at bases of specialized pharmaceutical institutions, botanic gardens, hospitals (more than 25 pharmacies, 9 pharmaceutical enterprises and plants, 2 botanic gardens and 2 hospitals). All kinds of practical training are provided by the appropriate methodical materials, curriculum, list of practical skills, examples to run dairies, etc.
The dean's office on practical training performs the control for fulfillment of training, and after its finish – for taking the differentiated credit and liquidation of failed exams.
Thanks to annual practical training, which starts since the first year of study, at senior courses the students already have such experience of practical work, which allows them orienting in clinical situations, in establishment of correct diagnosis, prescription of the corresponding treatment, rendering the first aid, making the medicines due to the individual prescription, knowledge of clinical pharmacy, chemist's and industrial technology for production of drugs. The practical training helps the students to adapt to the future working place, impart practical skills in the collective, performance of rules and ethics and deontology.

More and more people are looking towards their garage as a way of creating extra living space for their homes. Not only does it improve their quality of life but garage conversions in Surrey are a more cost effective option compared to the expense of moving home.
At My Building Company we're experts at helping homeowners who are searching for conversion solutions to their home. Whether you own a single or double garage, we have a professional team ready to offer their creative ideas so you get the most out of your garage.
There are four main types of garage conversions in Surrey to choose from:
Full Integral Single Garage Conversion
Integral garages are attached to the main property and are built within one of the main walls of the property. An 'integral' door is set into the wall that allows the occupants to move directly from the house into the garage. This is the most popular type of garage conversion and one of the most cost effective. They are usually made into kitchen extensions, home offices, utility rooms or playrooms.
Double Integral Garage Conversion
This build is the same as above but twice the size. The biggest difference between the two is it requires more work and creates a huge amount of additional space once completed. Car owners may also be able to continue parking their vehicle inside while still benefitting from the extended room.
Part Integral Garage Conversion
Homeowners searching for garage conversions in Surrey who are working to a tight budget often choose this option. Only part of the garage is converted to create extra space while the other section can still be used for storage. This also means the conversion can be constructed very quickly which is ideal for those who need a quick solution.
Detached Garage Conversion
Single or double detached garage conversions in Surrey are not attached to the main property. They stand by themselves either in front, behind, or next to the house. In most cases this will mean more work due to the extra insulation required. Sometimes a direct link can be built between the house and garage depending on how close they are situated to each other.
Garage Refurbishment
My Building Company don't only create the best garage conversions in Surrey, we also provide a complete refurbishment service if required. No matter what type of garage you own, we have the experience to make the changes you need.
Garage Roof Replacement
Our low maintenance roofing systems are made of the highest quality materials to replace your old roof and will create the perfect finish for the structure. In many cases we can remove and install a new roof within as little as a day.
PVCu Windows and Personal Access Doors
These add a brilliant finish to a converted garage, especially when a new work or living space has been created. We have a great range of uPVC doors and windows to choose from, or you can even opt for alternatives such as bi-folding or French doors for something extra special.
Garage Door Replacements
Over time the garage door will start to show signs of wear and tear and a replacement will eventually be needed. We have everything from classic traditional designs, through to contemporary modern options to suit all types of garage conversions in Surrey.

A happy, happy marriage of rich cocoa powder, orange and cinnamon. In an Anzac like biscuit. Oh yum, you gotta give these girls a go.
They came together the other evening when I was having a "I really want to send my kids to school with more home baked stuff" kind of moment. These are more adult like than kid like, but if you have little foodies like I do, then I am sure your kids will love them too.
makes about 30 odd finger squished biscuits:
1/2 cup of cocoa powder (I know it is a lot, but trust me ok?)
1 1/2 cups of plain flour
1 cup of quick oats
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup of firmly packed brown sugar
mix these dry ingredients together then add:
150 gm s melted butter (or about 1/2 cup of vegetable oil)
a few hand fulls of chopped nuts (or sunflower kernels if you have to go nut free)
if it is all a bit dry, add a little extra oil and/or milk. I find it largely depends on the cocoa powder you are working with
roll into dough balls and squish down with two fingers and bake in a moderate oven for about 10-15 min. The biscuits will harden while cooling, though they should retain that chewy Anzac like centre.
Enjoy, I would love to know if you give these a go!

Ghaghara River / Sarayu River
Religious significance
River Sarayu which features in the epic Ramayana is often believed to be synonymous with the modern Ghaghara river or as its tributary. Sarayu is said to have played a vital role for city and life of Ayodhya. Lord Rama is believed to have immersed himself in the Sarayu to return to his eternal, real Mahavishnu form. Hindus consider a holy dip in the Sarayu river as very auspicious.
Ecological significance
The endangered Gangetic dolphin or susu is found in river, though their numbers have significantly reduced in recent times, possible due to difficulties in navigating shallow waters.Deforestation in the upper reaches has significantly increased the sediment load on the river.

This has been an exciting birding month in my garden. It began with the welcome return of the Lesserstriped Swallows on the 4th. Although they have not yet begun working on the remains of the mud nest under the eaves, a pair of them regularly perch on a nearby cable and twitter as if contemplating where to begin. With so much rain having fallen in recent weeks, there is bound to be plenty of mud around for when they are ready. Klaas' Cuckoo has also made its appearance at last.
I walked outdoors the other day just in time to witness a Black Sparrowhawk swooping down to catch an unsuspecting Village Weaver perching at the top of a white stinkwood tree (Celtis africana). It mainly feeds on pigeons and doves, which may account for the clusters of dove feathers I sometimes find on the lawn – meanwhile I have been mentally chastising a neighbouring cat!
The many blossoms in the garden attract numerous foraging bees, which are eagerly gobbled up by Forktailed Drongoes.
Laughing Doves can be a treat to watch. Not only have some of them at last worked out how to perch two at a time on the 'seed house' – albeit in an uncomfortable looking position, but last week I watched as one ousted a Blackcollared Barbet from the feeding station and proceeded to eat an apple. A pair of them have been kept busy industriously collecting twigs from the syringa trees (Melia azedarach) growing on the pavement for their nest in a neighbouring garden. As an aside, it puzzles me why our municipality chose to plant these alien invasive trees in the first place – perhaps because they are fast-growing?
I felt privileged when a Knysna Lourie alighted on a branch near me while I was sitting in the shade of my 'forest'. It eyed me for a few minutes before departing silently to feed on syringa berries. Another large bird that moves silently is the Burchell's Coucal. Having remarked before that we seldom actually see them in our garden, one has been particularly visible this month as it has called from trees such as the Pompon, white stinkwood and the Erythrina caffra.
I have counted up to eight Pintailed Whydahs in the garden at one time. So far none have openly laid claim to it as a home territory, although a couple of males have, at times, acted in an aggressive manner towards Bronze Manikins and Village Weavers when feeding.
Aggression from an unexpected quarter was witnessed in the form of a Black Sunbird hot on the tail of a Laughing Dove. The latter was chased in this manner beyond the confines of my garden. Why, I cannot guess.
My September list is:
African Green Pigeon
Barthroated Apalis
Black Crow (Cape)
Black Sparrowhawk
Black Sunbird (Amethyst)
Blackcollared Barbet
Blackeyed Bulbul
Blackheaded Oriole
Bronze Manikin
Burchell's Coucal
Cape Robin

Lesserstriped Swallow
Olive Thrush
Pied Crow
Pintailed Whydah
Redbilled Woodhoopoe (Green Woodhoopoe)
Redeyed Dove
Redfronted Tinkerbird
Redwinged Starling
Rock Pigeon (Speckled)
Sombre Bulbul
Southern Masked Weaver
Speckled Mousebird
Streakyheaded Canary
Thickbilled Weaver
Village Weaver
Whiterumped Swift

The next day we woke again for another free tour, this time it was a graffiti tour of Comuna 13, once known as the most dangerous neighbourhood in Medellin, now a neighbourhood of hope and community. It's turbulent past was explained to us by our tour guide as we passed through the area stopping at several different graffiti's. This was another walking tour heavy on recent Medellin history in this very particular neighbourhood. Comuna 13, located in the West of Medellin, was notoriously known as the most dangerous neighbourhood in the most dangerous city on the planet. It started growing astronomically when country folk were forced to move to the city with nothing to their names. This was the only area they could go to and yet it still remained illegal to do so for many years. It became so uncontrollable the government caved in and let riot reign. It was the centre of drugs, guns and violence, all under the control of Pablo Escobar. After Escobar's death in 1993 things did not change with other cartels moving in aiming to control the area. The cartel to succeed the most in controlling the area was the Cali Cartel.
In 2002 under President Uribe, the government realised that the area was no longer something they could avoid and wash under the carpet, action was required. On October 16th 2002 operation Orion was launched. The aim was simple – eliminate all guerrilla forces in Comuna 13. To this day this operation remains one of the most debated in Colombia. Whilst official figures show only 9 people were killed that day, our guide explained that this number was only the amount of people to die in hospital. It did not take into account those who lost their lives in comuna 13 during the conflict or any civilians. The number is most likely closer to 100. Civilians were given no warning that over 1000 armed forces were going to start open firing from land and air upon them leaving many caught in the crossfires. In the aftermath of the conflict, on the one hand you have President Uribe claiming Colombia's most successful military operation against paramilitary groups (hard left in this case), and on the other hand, you have human rights organizations and locals claiming that many many more people disappeared, civilians were tortured by the police and that all that happened was one guerrilla group was replaced by another.
Since 2002 however the quality of life has drastically improved in this neighbourhood as we saw with our own eyes during the tour. Nowadays you can see some amazing graffiti art with plentiful meaning and portraying the history and future of Comuna 13. You can find many young adults big into hip hop and dancing on the streets, there were plenty of street food stalls all over, ice cream shops and even small art galleries. It really has transformed itself as a community in little over 20 years which is a remarkable feat. One thing at the centre of this transformation is the Comuna 13 escalators. This series of 6 escalators interconnects the whole community ensuring that anyone can get from A to B in a matter of minutes and showing everyone that even the most violent area of the most violent city can transform itself in a short period of time.
For lunch we went to El Rio market where there are over 30 different stalls selling every cuisine you could think of. We settled on Indian with tandoori chicken and a vegetable potato croquette curry. The modern art museum was close by so this was our next stop. This museum is based over 5 floors with both temporary and permanent exhibitions. The main focus is on the turbulent past of Colombia and the struggle with violence, remembrance and the past is depicted in a lot of the art.
The next morning we got the cable car up to Arvi Park located high above Medellin. The park is an ecological nature preserve and Pre-Hispanic archaeological site, covering 16,000 hectares. The cable car up offers views across the whole valley, so the eye can see from one side to the other of Medellin. The park itself is free however they suggest that booking a tour on one of their walks would be better. We decided against this which turned out to be the wrong option as the map was wrong and there were no signs anywhere. After walking for about 30minutes we decided to head back and join one of the mountain biking tours instead. For this they needed 3 people minimum so again another fail. Instead of hanging around for another couple of hours we decided enough was enough and returned on the cable car back to the city. We later found out that the local buses running on the roads up there bring you to the start of the trails. Unfortunately we were not told about this. At least we got cool views from the cable car! For the rest of the day we visited Parque Explora an interactive science museum where we had a lot of fun and learnt quite a lot. Before heading back for the day we walked around the botanical gardens that hosts a butterfly house, orchid garden, cactus garden, concert area, library and pond. On the plus side it's all free!
For our final full day in Medellin we set off on a day trip to the beautiful town of Guatapé that is famous for three things. The first being the colourful houses decorated in bas-reliefs, the second being the man-made Peñol-Guatapé Reservoir and the third being El Peñón de Guatapé.
El Peñón de Guatapé is a giant granite rock that has resisted weathering and erosion, so therefore this great mass of rock has been formed. For an entrance fee of 18,000COP you can climb the 740 tiring steps to the top and look out at the 360 view of the surrounding reservoir. The Peñol-Guatapé is an area (6,365 hectares) that was flooded in the late 1970s to create a hydropower plant. This area was occupied with many homes and the government had to relocate everyone whose home was in the flood area. This is now one of the most important electric production centres in the country. The town itself is beautiful as many buildings are not only fully painted with colour but many are decorated with bas-reliefs, the most common depicting farming life, religion and a lot of donkeys. We walked around admiring these for a while and tried the local delicacy – Buñuelos. These are essentially fried dough balls however they are adapted in different countries. In Colombia they are made from white curd cheese and are typically dipped in coffee. Stu was a massive fan! We finished our day with some lunch and jumped on the bus back to Medellin.
By the next day we had come to spend 9 days in this amazing city. This will likely be one of our longest stays in one location throughout our trip and we could not recommend it enough to everyone. We had the most incredible stay here and we are already looking forward to planning a trip back at some point in the future.

With increasingly critical attention being paid to Bonner County's new "Property Rights Council," the Council is getting defensive. Although paying little attention to actually publishing timely meeting minutes and agendas, the Council has published a new link on its website dedicated to "Media Errors & Omissions."
First, the Property Rights Council takes issue with a widely published AP story noting the hiring of tea party favorite Pam Stout to administer the new program. The "Media Errors & Omissions" posting notes:
Recent media reports have concluded that the Paralegal Program Manager is utilized exclusively and permanently for PRC work. This is false. The Paralegal Program Manager is only temporarily being used exclusively for PRC work. This is especially necessary during the initial formation and establishment of the PRC.
Notably not in error is that the occupant of the "Paralegal Program Manager" position has no paralegal training. Also, notably not in error is the salary of $25,000 for the new 19 hours-per-week position — a salary well above the going rate in Idaho for trained paralegals.
Second, the Property Rights Council denies that particular programs are being targeted. "Media Errors and Omissions" states:
In an October 14th 2011 AP article, John Miller paraphrases Pam Stout when he states: "Their first tasks include figuring out how to jettison the historical society, extension agency and county fairgrounds from taxpayer support, Stout said". Pam Stout denies making such a statement and no such item has been placed on the PRC Agenda.
Yet, the linked-to "correction" in the Sacramento Bee only clarifies:
The story also reported the council was attempting to remove taxpayer support from the county extension, the fairgrounds and the historical society. It is looking for ways to replace taxpayer support with user fees.
The fine-point about user fees notwithstanding, unfortunately what has been placed on the PRC agenda (pdf) is the County's watershed ordinance and whether to "interpose" in an ongoing dispute between a property owner and the EPA (whatever that means). All this before the Council even has approved bylaws under which it will operate.
We are certainly very concerned about what the PRC means for the few environmental protections that currently exist in Bonner County. But we are also very concerned that this inept, one-sided, and ideologically-driven bureaucracy is taking Bonner County far out of the mainstream as to what constitutes good basic local government. From phone calls and emails to our office, a growing number of Bonner County citizens share our concerns. Indeed, instead of concerning itself with "Media Errors and Omissions," Bonner County should re-evaluate the errors and omissions coming from their own PRC.

So much has and is coming out it's hard to keep up with (and afford) all these movies! I'm so excited for so much, A Wrinkle in Time, Black Panther, Annihilation to name a few.
Recently however, I re-watched The Maze Runner movies and went to see the final instalment, The Death Cure. Now I've read the first book and a half of the second (I know), and I've always meant to read them all before seeing the movies again, but life happens, and my partner was adamant we see the newest film close to release.
Now, I'm all for movies taking at different direction when they are book adaptions, I mean how are you supposed to turn 6 hours of reading into a 2-hour film at most? The Maze runner series really takes on a new direction, diverting from the story enough to become its own. I'm glad I'd read what I had, because it gave me some grounding in the sometimes extreme deviations the story and plot takes between the movie and the books.
Before you expect this to go off into a 'the books are better' rant, this is definitely not that. Yes, the plot changes, storylines are different and details I loved are changed, but this trilogy of movies has its own life, enough for me to see it as a distinction from the book series. It's almost like the movies tell a story of a very similar parallel universe. Without getting into too much detail, a lot of the more supernatural science fiction elements from the books are completely written out of the movies (e.g. the Flat Trans and those terrifying silver balls at the start of The Scorch Trials). Adapting these into the movies probably would have been terribly difficult and would have taken away from the more action driven narrative of the movies. What I have read of the books I would describe more as horror thrillers with action, whereas the movies focus heavily on action whilst including shorter, milder horror elements.
So, I'm definitely going to read the rest of the books, so I can really dissect the differences and plot deviations. Look out for me discussing the books in a 'Book Club' post!
Maze Runner: The Death Cure
So onto the final film, Maze Runner: The Death Cure. Without the last book as comparison, I have little to say on how it works as a book adaption, however in terms of the overarching story of the movies it is very hit and miss. I enjoyed the film immensely, and the cast are absolutely fantastic. Dylan O'Brien really owns the role of Thomas, whilst Newt and Minoh are performed brilliantly by Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Ki Hone Lee. Overall, I would recommend this film and the first two to people how enjoy the post-apocalyptic, hunger games styled genre, but the film definitely is not everyone's cup of tea, and I'm not entirely sure the plot will grasp everyone over the course of three full films.
Spoiler territory ahead
Just a quick little bit on something that really, really annoyed me about this film in particular. Ava Paige has been one of my favourite characters outside the main troop of maze runners, and her character development in this film was phenomenal. Seeing her still dedicated to her work and all that she has sacrificed, whilst seeing a warmer, more sincere side to her was brilliantly written and portrayed. You want to fall in love with her and feel for her despite everything she has done. You unwillingly start to see her point of view and feel almost sorry for her. Then, when Thomas and Ava finally meet close the film's end, Peter Baelish– I mean Janson – goes and kills her in such an anticlimactic way. I was expecting she'd die, by the hands of Janson probably, but I was excited to see that last bit of development between her and Thomas, a final understanding between the two. But this was cut short by a quick, cheap killing off of her character. I understand films are long and things need to be refined, this definitely gave the film a sudden, last minute turning point, but I was so excited to see more from her. After all the chaos it really upset me to see her end this way.
Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed the film series and would recommend all give it a shot despite its misgivings. If anything, The Maze Runner is by far the best film of the franchise and is well worth watching even if you decide not to progress with the trilogy.

After almost losing his mother to breast cancer, Mexican teen Julián Ríos Cantú came up with an invention that could help save the lives of millions of women. The 18-year-old entrepreneur designed the Eva, a bra that detects changes in the breast. Using tactile sensors, the bra can record changes in temperature, texture and colour, all indicators of possible breast cancer. Women only have to wear the bra for one hour each week, with the data recorded on a mobile desktop app. If noticeable changes are indicated, the software will suggest the woman see her doctor.
The Eva bra is specifically designed for women who are predisposed to breast cancer, something Cantú is familiar with. In a video posted on the company site and translated by The Huffington Post, Cantú says "When I was 13 years old, my mother was diagnosed for the second time with breast cancer. The tumor went from having the dimensions of a grain of rice to that of a golf ball in less than six months. The diagnosis came too late and my mother lost both of her breasts and, almost, her life."
The design of the Eva was something that played a large role in the success of the invention, not only making it easy for women to wear, but also serving a functional purpose. Designing the Eva as a bra " allows us to keep the breasts in the same position," says Cantú, which is a necessity for getting an accurate reading on the area. At only 17, Cantú started the Higia Technologies company with three friends, with the company's main product the Eva bra. Thanks to the incredible new product, Cantú recently won a Global Student Entrepreneur Award, which features competitors from 56 countries. The Eva still has more testing and trials to pass and will likely go to the market in two years. We know Cantú's mother must be proud.

Demand for Air Cargo Strengthens in July: IATA
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) released data for global air freight markets in July 2016 showing robust growth in demand. Measured in freight tonne kilometers (FTKs), demand increased 5.0% in July 2016, compared to July 2015. This was the fastest pace in almost 18 months. Freight capacity measured in available freight tonne kilometers (AFTKs) increased by 5.2% year-on-year, outstripping demand and keeping yields under pressure. Despite the subdued global trade backdrop, carriers in the world's four biggest air cargo markets ? Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America and the Middle East - reported an increase in freight demand. The strongest growth occurred in Europe and the Middle East, with July demand up by 7.2% and 6.7% respectively, compared to the same period last year. "July was a positive month for air freight?which is an all too rare occurrence. Despite that, we must recognize that we face some strong headwinds on fundamental aspects of the business. Global trade growth is sluggish and business confidence is weak. And the political rhetoric on both sides of the Atlantic is not encouraging for further trade liberalization," said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA?s Director General and CEO. July 2016 World share� FTK AFTK FLF FLF (% year-on-year) (%-pt)� (level)� Total Market 100.0% 5.0% 5.2% -0.1% 41.3% Africa 1.5% -6.8% 31.3% 7.9% 19.4% Asia Pacific 38.9% 4.9% 2.7% 1.1% 53.1% Europe 22.3% 7.2% 3.8% 1.4% 43.2% Latin America 2.8% -5.6% 10.1% -5.0% 30.0% Middle East 14.0% 6.7% 11.0% -1.6% 39.2% North America 20.5% 4.1% 3.4% 0.2% 31.7% �% of industry FTKs in 2015 �Year-on-year change in load factor �Load factor level Regional Performance Asia-Pacific airlines reported a 4.9% increase in demand for air cargo in July compared to last year. In particular, growth has been driven by strong increases in the large ?within Asia? market in recent months, but the latest business surveys from the region paint a mixed picture. Capacity in the region expanded 2.7%. North American carriers saw freight volumes expand 4.1% in July 2016 compared to the same period last year, and capacity increase by 3.4%. International freight volumes (which grew 1.3% in July) continue to suffer from the strength of the US dollar which has kept the US export market under pressure. European airlines posted the largest increase in freight demand of all regions in July, 7.2% year-on-year. Capacity increased 3.8%. The positive European performance corresponds with an increase in export orders in Germany over the last few months. Europe?s freight volumes have now surpassed the level reached during the air freight rebound following the Global Financial Crisis. The only other region to achieve this is the Middle East. Middle Eastern carriers saw air freight demand increase by 6.7% in July 2016 year-on-year. Capacity increased by 11%. The region?s growth rate, while still strong, has eased to half the 14% recorded annually between 2012 and 2015. This is mainly attributable to slower freight growth between the Middle East and Asia. Latin American airlines saw demand contract by 5.6% in July 2016 compared to the same period last year and capacity increase by 10.1%. The region continues to be blighted by weak economic and political conditions, particularly in the region?s largest economy, Brazil. African carriers recorded a 6.8% decrease in year-on-year freight demand in July 2016 ? the largest decline in seven years. African airlines? capacity surged by 31.3% on the back of long-haul expansion (from a small base).

Did you know that numerous tooth hazard risks often arise from your diet? Because of the number of risks associated with the foods you eat in connection with your oral health, it is always a good idea to have a checklist in place of what foods and drinks you should avoid. Always remember to exercise caution with any issues associated with your diet including tools you use to open foods with. Frequently asked questions associated with tooth hazard risks in conjunction with your diet are as follows:
Question: Can tooth hazards arise from foods and drinks we consume?
Answer: Several oral health risks can arise due to dental erosion and cavities from acidic products or sweets that can be converted into acids. Hard products can also chip and fracture your teeth.
Question: What are some of the biggest risks in our diets that can lead to dental damage?
Answer: Constantly snacking throughout the day has been shown to be extremely hazardous to your oral health because it increases the time in which debris from food and drinks is in contact with your teeth and gums.
Question: What is one potentially harmful activity in relation to a person's oral health that poses a significant tooth hazard risk?
Answer: Never use your teeth to try to open food packaging. Furthermore, never use your teeth for any other tasks other than chewing food alone, which is because trying to open stuff with your teeth can immediately lead to an oral emergency and potential tooth loss. Instead, use scissors, a bottle opener or any other handy tool nearby if packaging needs to be opened.

This week's U.S. economic news was bullish. A rise in retail sales indicates the consumer continues to spend while industrial production held its own. Industrial production held its own. Building permits – a long-leading indicator – increased. And while starts decreased slightly M/M, they were up strongly Y/Y. As for the markets, solid earnings news provide ample support for a move higher. But valuations reamin high, potentially limiting additional upside moves.
Economic Review
Retail sales, a coincident indicator, rose ,4% M/M and 5.6% Y/Y:
Notice that the overall trend has accelerated over the last 6 months, with the pace of Y/Y growth nearing a 5-year high.
Industrial production was down slightly, but, as is usual with this indicator, the devil is in the details:
The top chart shows the overall trend, which fell at the beginning of 2015 thanks to a drop in oil prices. The series leveled off starting in 2016. The middle chart shows that all the major market groups have moved sideways since the beginning of 2016; also note that mining (in green) was the primary driver of pre-2016 growth. The bottom chart shows major industry groups. As with the market groups, mining is the main mover. Also note that the sharp drop in utilities (in green) was the main reason for last month's decline.
Building permits increased:
The top charts shows the overall trend for the series. The bottom chart breaks the down into three sub-groups. 1-unit structures (in blue) decreased slightly, 2-4 unit structures (in red) dropped sharply, while 5+ greater units (in green) increased.
Meanwhile, although housing starts decreased slightly, the overall trend for the data series continues sideways:
The Atlanta Fed is predicting 1Q GDP growth of 2.4% while the NY Fed is forecasting 3.1%; the average of the two is 2.75%.
Economic Conclusion: this week's news was bullish. The consumer continues to spend, industrial production fell, but mainly due to alarge drop in utilities output and the housing market continues to expand. Put in economic indicator terminology, the long-leading indicators point to growth as to the coincident numbers.
Market Review: last week was a strong week for the market:
The 5-minute SPY chart is on top; it rallied in the first half of the week and then consolidated gains between 234-235 on Thursday and Friday. The bottom chart (a daily chart of the SPYs) places that development in a longer-term perspective. The markets consolidated their post-election rally between mid-December and early February. During this time, the MACD fell, giving the market more upside room, which it took advantage of over the last week.
The 4Q earnings season has added to the bullishness. From Zacks:
As of Wednesday, February 15th, we have seen Q4 results from 375 S&P 500 members or 75% of the index's total membership. Total earnings for these 375 index members are up +7.2% on +4.6% higher revenues, with 68.8% beating EPS estimates and 54.4% coming ahead of top-line expectations. The proportion of companies beating both EPS and revenue estimates is 40%.
But the weekly chart looks stretched:
The weekly MACD (top panel) is near multi-year highs. The percentage of stocks above both the 50 and 200 day EMAs (the bottom 2 panel) is also bear multi-year highs. Also of importance is the lack of participation from the transports and Russell 2000. The latest SPY rally could simply be a rotation from smaller to larger stocks. Or there could declining confidence in small-caps, which would indicate waning optimism about the domestic economy. Adding to the bearish argument is that the markets are expensive (from the WSJ):
As has been the case for the last 12-18 months, there is plenty of fodder for bulls and bears. The bulls can argue that a solid earnings season, a growing domestic economy, increasing confidence and lack of recessionary pressure indicate the markets should move higher. The bears can point an already expensive market, the growing possibility of rate hikes, the declining possibility of meaningful policy action at the federal level and increasing inflationary pressure as signs of an already expensive market with little upside room.
