New chapters 😀 So fast haha ❤
Yay more bat manwha. This series seems to be getting a lot of hits and glad we snagged it 😛 Thanks again to Ashely from Ascelpias Scans for the typesetting/cleaning!
Again, It is also up over at Batoto (remember kids to make an account), so you can read it there if you would rather.
We really could use a few Proofreaders, Cleaners, Typesetters, and Translators (Mainly Japanese,Italian, and French) for our current and future projects.

Halo 3 will be in your 360 in a matter of days. There's no point even cracking one of those overused "unless you've been hiding in a..." lines because even if you have, you'll still know about the imminent arrival of Bungie's monolithic megaton shooter
A short campaign and still a 9.7? The Multiplayer must be of unthinkable quality then.
Lol in the downers it says:
"Some other stuff we can't talk about..."
Does that indicate possible spoilers? I wonder what the ending is like.
FUKIN A. THIS GAME IS GONNA BE AWESOME. Jesus, when was the last time you saw a game on N4G, that took up the last 10 news stories on the front page, all of which are reviews and had a game degree almost at 80,000 degrees, the lowest review score yet is 9.5/10 and what game comes out in under 36hours. THATS RIGHT SONYFUKERS, HALO 3. Nasim is preolly rolling is his little Sony hut that this "cartoony game", just kicked PS3's @ss.
P.S. - This will be the only fanboyic statement ill make, just cause its Halo 3. lol
Sorry but a game that has such mediocre singleplayer cannot get a 9.7/10.
The reviews lose all their credibility

The phrase "The Future of COBOL" might seem an oxymoron, but in a talk so titled at the Club de Investigacion Technologica SA's software transformation seminar last Friday, Acucorp Vice President of Strategic Directions Gerold Ekstrom defended the workhorse programming language and warned that like it or not, companies will be dealing with applications based on COBOL (Common Business Oriented Language) for decades to come.
He's been listening to proclamations of the death of COBOL since the early 1970s, Ekstrom said, but with millions of lines of code powering still-functioning applications, COBOL remains a viable and evolving part of the corporate IT landscape.
The lingering economic downturn contributes to COBOL's longevity, he said. When times are good and cash is flowing freely, companies are more eager to tackle ambitions upgrades or replacement projects. But with such projects prone to running behind schedule and over budget, enthusiasm for them fades when budgets are tight, he said.
Meanwhile, companies too often overlook the language's advantages, he said.
"(Acucorp's compiler) has the modest tagline, 'The most portable compiler in the universe,'" he said. "We are what Java tries to be."
But the COBOL market has its risks, he acknowledged. A big one is the advancing age of its experienced programmers. The IT industry has shown little desire to train new COBOL coders, and universities treat the language as deader than Latin.
"The majority of youngsters aren't too eager to work with COBOL. It doesn't blink and flash enough," Ekstrom said. "And that is something I don't understand. I don't understand why IBM (Corp.) doesn't pick up training, because it's applications (running on their mainframes) that are going to be hurt by this."
Still, citing his optimistic nature, Ekstrom said he thinks COBOL's stability and entrenchment means the language still faces "huge" growth opportunities, on which Acucorp, in San Diego, hopes to capitalize.
"I can guarantee you that if you went in, you would be surprised what COBOL can deliver," he said. "We run on everything from Windows on up to IBM mainframe Linux. We have concentrated on modernizing COBOL."

Hi, pals!
Look at the statements taken from storeClientCopy2,
if (EBIT_TEST(e->flags, ENTRY_FWD_HDR_WAIT)) {
debug(20, 5) ("storeClientCopy2: returning because ENTRY_FWD_HDR_WAIT set\n");
What is the function and meaning of ENTRY_FWD_HDR_WAIT here?
Best regards,

How Lucky I Am
Yesterday I had the great privilege to do that thing beloved by Englanders everywhere: go to a static caravan on the coast. This is the wife's grandma's caravan, where my sister-in-law was staying.
I had to force the wife out of bed (anytime before midday is a struggle) at 9 (literally force - she hit the wall leaving only a small dent) to get the usual day out stress. An hours drive to St Merryn in Cornwall, a tiny hamlet near Padstowe and then did what I suspected: we sat there all day and did nothing. We could have stayed at home and done that, not spent the hour getting in the wife's chair, nor the hour driving there - that's two hours someone owes me, never mind the drive back the same day.
God it was frustrating listening to my mother-in-law (for she was there too - huzzah!) making little comments to which I'm not allowed to respond. It was fun trying to get the wife toileted though. Carrying her through the caravan doors which are narrower than my shoulders, into a bathroom the size of a postage stamp (mind her legs!) was tricky to say the least.
Still, days out with family - gotta love 'em.

Today I got a little surprise and I got to see inside my Uterus.
Day 2 of our 11 day Blog Challenge/Commitment.
I was due for a 28 week pre natal appointment today, I was to meet one of my midwifes at Bumi Sehat here in Ubud. As I was about to head out I got a call from her as she had to go out to an emergency. She said, the famous CNN Hero of the year, Ibu Robin was in the clinic and would like to meet me and do my appointment, would that be ok. Smiles….. of course it will be just fine.
All the women and volunteers at the clinic are such divine souls, offering free birthing options to Indonesians and incredible care to the expat community. I am planning a homebirth under the care of these selfless souls and go to the clinic for my checkups.
I am a mature mother to be, my third child is due at the end of January 2014, it was my 40th birthday that this dear soul thought it would be a good idea to incarnate through my body into this world. This wasn't on my projection life plan goal list, but seems God and a few others had different plans. Lucky I'm good at 'going with the flow', good practice at intense opportunity to practice said going with the flow. Some mature women have a low lying placenta, which means it attaches lower towards the cervix and not so much up the top of the uterus. One day around 10 weeks ago, I started 'spotting', which is not ideal when pregnant, blood coming out of your vagina is not a good sign. Fortunately, I have incredible care and this was sorted pronto. I did however have to go down to Denpasar to have an ultrasound, where my low lying placenta was found. I was very happy with this, it meant I wasn't bleeding for some random reason, that it was just overload on my body from running around like a maniac doing a million things and not resting enough. Physical sign of my actions. Thanks baby. If the placenta doesn't move up, which it does in most cases, then you have to have a caesarian, I was told. Due to the fact that the birth canal is obstructed by the placenta and its physically impossible for the baby to exit. I have had two natural births and this is my preference.
So I decided to add to my 'daily practise', visualizing the placenta naturally moving up as my baby and uterus expanded. I would also talk to it while showering, I took this very seriously with certainty that I could assist in the process.
During my appointment with Ibu Robin today she said, there was an Australian Radiologist training some Indonesian young midwives in the clinic and would I like to check out my placenta. I gratefully wandered over to the ultrasound room and hopped up on the old funny hospital bed and was joined by 6 very sweet Indonesian students and the radiologist. It was so hilarious, they were all chatty and pointing at my insides on the screen, and when we found a perfectly placed Placenta I squealed with delight, kind of startling them. Then we all ended up cheering and laughing and making a lot of noise in the clinic today. My baby is growing beautifully and all is good in the baby making workshop.
In a couple of weeks the midwives will come out to my new home to do our appointment there. I have a large sunken outdoor tub which we are going to convert into a birthing suite. I'm rather excited. I'll keep you posted on that with pix.
I was a little teary this morning, not sad just missing my big kids a little bit. Mumma land is an incredible place that I am honored to be part of. Fortunately we connect most days and I got loved up with them. My feminine essence is 'feeling very yummy' right now and I am beyond grateful to have this experience of birthing souls into humans and sharing it with them in this lifetime.
Much love,
Nik xo

Changing Fever
Then have just changed home insurance saving a £14 a month, which is loads -I guess about £168 a year, new policy only costs £19 a month and seems to be exactly the same level of cover as old one. Think we'd just stayed with old one because our old flat in London's lease was tied to one particular insurance company. Used confused.com, which was very easy to use and sort of entered your details in to the company's websites making it super quick.
Feel a little like I have been quoted happy, but not by those people in the advert, in whose care my lovely little blue car was crashed. Still bitter about it and a year on, they were supposed to just be changing my lock!
Decorated the house yesterday afternoon which was lots of hard work, but managed to sort of achieve a colour scheme. Well I've decided silver and white are primary colours in living roon so have banned gold, but just in here, and all other colours are present. Tried to hide all red baubles too but Ol put them up whilst was in kitchen then felt little churlish to ditch all his decorations (of which he was very proud of ) just to kind of have a scheme.
Oh, one of the other exciting things that happened this weekend was that we visited local pub. My first time, it was fun, sort of very local but with Great Juke Box, and only about five customers, so getting served was speedy. Drank beer out of the bottle though, so not sure if will be allowed back. Also played Abba.
Did not play shove ha' penny though, and will never play it.

Shopping has been such a struggle for me over the last 10 years, my weight has been up and down and I have never been happy with clothes, I used to buy things to hide my shape as much as I can.
I'm finding shopping so much easier now, I think it's hard to adjust though, I still think I am the size I was before, I automatically pick up the big sizes. I hesitate with smaller clothes with lots of doubt in my mind, I still feel like the bigger version of me.
The feeling when the smaller clothes fit is the best bit for me, inside I am bursting with happiness.
Today I went into to asda to try a few things on to see what I liked for a party I am going to, I had to take a picture as it was a very proud moment when everything fitted!.

Ajay Devgn has spent more than 26 years in the Hindi film industry. Over two decades, the actor, with his choice of films, has managed to earn the tag of a 'versatile actor'. From being a romantic hero to giving Bollywood the cult character of a tough cop Singham, the 48-year-old actor has carved his own niche.
As action director Veeru Devgn's son, Ajay has been driven by action films. The next we will see him on the silver screen will be in the role of a non-nonsense Income Tax Officer in Raj Kumar Gupta directorial Raid. The film set in the 80s is about one of the high-profile raids that happened in the country. Also starring Saurabh Shukla and Ileana D'Cruz, the film will hit the theatres this Friday.
While it has been often said about Devgn that he delivers hits when paired with the hitmaker director Rohit Shetty (six out of his seven 100 crore club movies are directed by Shetty), film critics and movie buffs wait to see if Raid will change that notion. Before Raid opens in theaters, here is a look at the box office performance of Ajay Devgn's last five releases.
Golmaal Again: Rs 205.69 crore
The Rohit Shetty directorial with an ensemble cast of Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Parineeti Chopra and Tabu broke records at the box office and became one of the most successful films of 2017. The horror comedy crossed the Rs 100 crore mark in just four days and earned a total of Rs. 205.69 crore at the Indian box office. For Ajay, the Golmaal franchise of which he has been a part of since 2010, lifted him to a star status and in his own words the movie is his "pension plan".
Baadshaho: Rs 78.1 crore
Set during the period of Emergency, Milan Luthria's Baadshaho did decent business at the box office and minted Rs 78.1 crore. Made at a budget of Rs 80 crore, the film released in 2017 and had a great run in not only Indian theaters but also overseas. The gangster saga witnessed coming together of director Milan Luthria and actors Ajay and Emraan Hashmi who earlier gave a masala entertainer in Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai. Esha Gupta and Ileana D'Cruz added to the glamour quotient of the film. While Baadshaho received mixed reviews from critics, little did anyone expect that the film will be able to beat the total collection of Shah Rukh Khan's Jab Harry Met Sejal which earned Rs 64.32 crore.
Shivaay: Rs 100.33 crore
This Ajay Devgn's production and directorial venture released in 2016 with a neck to neck competition from Karan Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Still, the film did good business at the single screens. Shivaay was an Ajay Devgn show all the way. His impactful acting pulled the audience to the ticket counters bringing its total collection in India to Rs 100.33 crore. This was Ajay's fifth film to make to the coveted 100 crore club after Golmaal 3, Son Sardaar, Bol Bachchan and Singham Returns. The film about a mountaineer (Devgn) and his relationship with his daughter also grabbed a National Award for Best Visual Effects at the 64th National Awards.
Drishyam: Rs 67.13 crore
Released in 2015, the suspense thriller starring Tabu and Ajay Devgn gave the Hindi movie buffs one of the best in the genre. The film was a remake of the Jeethu's 2013 hit Malayalam film of the same name. 'Drishyam' also had a Tamil remake which featured superstar Kamal Haasan in the lead role. Ajay Devgn returned to his forte of intense roles with Drishyam which was not the regular whodunit drama. Vijay Salgaonkar (Ajay Devgn) is a 'fourth class fail' self-made orphan and his family is his only weakness. It is for their protection that he goes against all the odds. The film earned Rs 67.13 crore and Ajay then tweeted about it, "Very satisfied with the response that Drishyam is getting, one of the rare films that gets you collections as well as respect as an actor."
Action Jackson: Rs 57.78 crore
The Prabhudheva directorial starring Sonakshi Sinha and Ajay Devgn failed miserably at the box office. It managed to earn a meagre amount of Rs 57.78 crore. Ajay played a double role in the movie, a good-hearted goon Vishy, and his look-alike, the sword-wielder AJ, whose chief ability is to kill humans. After the film failed to perform at the box office, Ajay in his interview to The Hindu said, "When we started Action Jackson, I knew the film wouldn't work. I don't blame Prabhu Deva for that. Our bad luck was that after we had put up the set and were about to begin shooting, we realised the story was similar to Dhoom 3."


text: A fast-moving cautionary tale about kidnapping. Maggie and Mike are left in charge of four-year-old half-sister Courtenay when their dad and stepmother, Leigh, go on a belated honeymoon; between school bus and school door, Courtenay vanishes. Princeton police consider the usual suspects: the bus driver, both ex-spouses, the local ne'er-do-well who's been making harassing telephone calls to Maggie. Maggie's friends pitch in with projects to fund posters, and a national search is instituted. Dad then confesses that his first wife, Jessica, was a child abuser (she would lock Maggie in a closet in order to get time for herself); in the end, after a fright over another four-year-old found slashed and dead nearby, Courtenay turns up scared but safe. Unstable Jessica has kept her in revenge for losing custody of her own children. Missing children are a well-publicized concern, and, though Martin somewhat exaggerates the danger, her prescriptions for safety are sensible. Her characters are also realistically varied in their response to the crisis, if less surely drawn than in her recent With You and Without You; the antagonism here between Leigh and Maggie lacks a convincing basis, and is too easily resolved. Still, enough suspense to hold readers.

In my last dream of the early morning hours on August 10, 2015, I turned on the old-fashioned TV to watch a movie already in progress. It was a war movie, starring Pat Boone (looking like he did back in the days of Journey to the Center of the Earth) as the hero in the good army. Interestingly (to me at least), my son was also in the good army. I spotted a very young-looking Obama in the bad army.
The most fascinating thing early in the movie was that the good guys were cloned, thus growing the ranks of the good army 200 times.
In one tearful scene, one of the good soldiers was killed in the late afternoon. As a result, that evening Boone was sent out on a mission that was virtually guaranteed to get him killed, too.
Boone hid in the tall grass - his only available cover - as the bad army closed in around him. A tense gunfight ensued. Obama took pot shots at him, and after a short time it was apparent that Boone was in his sights, and Obama was just toying with him, firing one shot after another, each one closer than the last. Boone's arm and hand had been up in the air, looking rather like a periscope, almost to the top of the grass. He snatched his hand down just as the next shot, neatly but explosively clipping off the seed heads on the grass, would have relieved him of his fingers had his hand been there half a moment longer.
The scene changed to the next morning. The widow of the good soldier who had been killed the day before was hanging laundry, all white, to dry on the line. We then see her deceased husband, looking very much alive. But as she reaches out to him, the holographic apparition expands and vanishes. I eagerly, hopefully, scanned the grassy field behind her for our hero while it was on the screen, but couldn't spot him. Had Boone been killed or did he somehow, against all odds, survive the night?
The scene changed to the gymnasium. As the kids came running in for class, they stopped in their tracks to see Boone singing and dancing for joy next to the far wall. Everyone wondered whether he was the original or a clone. He recognized this, so he stopped to teach the kids.
As part of Boone's teaching somehow, my son stood at attention and was cloned fifty times. As I carefully looked at the clones, I could see both my son and 50 other kids, each with my son's face lightly projected on top of their own. It was easy to pick him out of the group. He was the only one who looked like himself. So it was noteworthy that he was apparently cloned by projection, like the hologram. While each projected clone popped into place at attention and in formation out of nothing, each had a unique face and body, as if my son was projected onto another real young man.
I woke up to the alarm then, trusting that our hero, Boone, really did survive his night mission. Obama in the bad army must have been firing at his clone.
InterpretationFor decades in real life, Boone represented the classic, all-American good guy, as we saw ourselves in the post-war 1940's and 1950's. That was fitting, as he really has been a saint virtually his entire life. Here he represents the righteous saints of America.
Obama chose evil from a young age and has never wavered from it.
The good guys were cloned, growing their ranks, reinforcing the worldwide Great Awakening to repentance and the greatest revival - return to the Lord - that the world has ever seen, which has already begun elsewhere in the world and which is coming to America, too. 200 is the number of expectancy (20) times perfect order (10). While perfect order is from God, expectancy hints at insufficiency, which is another commonly accepted explanation for the number 200. If you have enough, you don't expect more. I believe this relates to the final battle being won by God, not by His army. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of His mouth and destroy by the splendor of His coming. (2 Thessalonians 2:8.)
One of the good soldiers was killed in the late afternoon because it is now late in the last day and evil is rising. Saints around the world are being martyred; there is a cost to being on the side of God's good. Boone's nighttime mission was virtually guaranteed to result in his death because many of us will be asked to put our lives on the line in what appears to be a hopeless situation in the natural. But we must remember that we have the power of the Holy Spirit and the authority of the Name of Jesus. God's authority and power trumps every natural and supernatural opposition. Still, God will call some of us Home through martyrdom. Do not worry beforehand about this! If this is the destiny He has determined for you, God is faithful and will give you the strength to be victorious through it.
Boone's cover was grass, reinforcing that in the natural we may have little or no protection as we face the evil surrounding us. Obama's pot shots closing in on him remind us that satan isn't likely to try to take us down only once and then give up. We can expect one attack after another, and so must remain vigilant, looking out supernaturally and not just with our natural eyes, even as Boone's hand was his periscope. And just as Boone knew the right moment to snatch his hand back to safety, so we will know how and when to move and act when we stay in tune with the Holy Spirit within. We must be quick to obey God! (For an example of looking out supernaturally, see my earlier post, How do you know when you struck a nerve with Satan?.)
The widow hanging clean laundry on the line reminds us that the righteous ones have nothing to hide. There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1.) Our sins have been forgiven and washed white as snow. (Isaiah 1:18.) The meaning of her deceased husband's hologram appearing, expanding, and vanishing is hidden from me at this time. If the Spirit reveals it later and directs me to publish it, I will do so through a Comment to this post.
My son will be in God's army at Armageddon. Before then, he will be an evangelist and will bring many lost souls (represented by his 50 clones) to salvation in Christ. My son's face was slightly visible over their faces because each one of us who leads another to Christ is reflected in them. We don't overshadow or overpower them, but our influence is visible in their new lives. We must be diligent, therefore, in ensuring that we represent good examples of living righteously in Christ. (See 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13.) My son and his clones all stood at attention, in formation, because God is a God of order and we must be paying attention to Him regardless of the circumstances around us.
I searched for a good, concise definition of the biblical significance of the number 50, and God directed me to The Significance of Numbers in Scripture on the Agape Bible Study website (edited here):
50 means jubilee - deliverance, release, and redemption. It is the result of 7 squared + 1, and it points to deliverance and rest following on as the result of the perfect consummation of time. [This confirms that the war in the movie is the war in these end times, culminating in the battle of Armageddon, the battle that satan and his fallen angels/demons and evil men are destined to lose to Jesus and His angels and saints, both alive and resurrected.]
- On the fiftieth day after leaving Egypt, God met Israel at Mount Sinai. This was the first Pentecost (this Greek word means "fiftieth day"). Exodus 19:1; 14-16
- Fifty is grace (5) multiplied by perfect order (10).
- In the fiftieth year, known as the Jubilee year, all Hebrew slaves and bondservants were to be freed, and all land returned to the original owner. Leviticus 25:8-19
- On the fiftieth day after the Resurrection of Christ, the Holy Spirit came to the disciples in the Upper Room. This was the second great Pentecost. Acts 1:3; 2:1
The gymnasium is a place that combines fun and learning, play and training. It is a place where children grow in strength and determination, body, mind, and character. Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6.) We must remember that children are always watching, always learning. Be careful what you are teaching. Boone sang and danced for joy, not just because he survived the mission, but because he knew his God was with him. If God is for you, who can stand against you? (Romans 8:31. Answer: No one and nothing!)
Obama must have been firing at Boone's clone, because evil spirits, represented by Obama in the dream - even though they have mastered the art of deception - will themselves be deceived by what God has in store for them through us. (See 1 Corinthians 2:9-16.)

Opinions of Friday, 23 December 2016
Columnist: Samuel Alesu-Dordzi
There is a case every law student must have come across. This is the American case of Marbury v Madison. President John Adams and his federalist party had been defeated in the 1800 elections. Thomas Jefferson running on the ticket of the Republicans had won the elections. As part of John Adams final acts, the incumbent President created new federal circuit judge positions. It did not end there. He went ahead to appoint judges to fill the positions created. The federalist controlled senate approved the nominations.
These judges were referred to as the "midnight judges". William Marbury was part of the newly appointed "midnight judges". The document authorising him to take office was among a handful that were sealed but not delivered before John Adams' term expired.
When Jefferson took office, he did the expected. He refused to recognise the appointment of the judges – with William Marbury being one of them. Marbury brought the issue before the United States Supreme Court. The Supreme Court recognised his legal right to the office.
A strikingly similar situation is brewing at home. The incumbent President has lost an election. He will be out of office in less than two weeks. But before he leaves, he has made a number of key decisions and appointments.
A new Commissioner for the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) has been appointed. A new head for the National Commission on Civic Education (NCCE) has been appointed. National Service allowance has been increased by 40 per cent. A 12.5 per cent increase in salary for public sector workers is in the offing.
But what is the President to do in his last weeks. Must a president take his leg off the pedal? Or must he paddle as hard as he can in his final days? These are difficult questions. They lend themselves to no easy answer. They are usually down to the personal choices.
A reasonable response would be – be considerate. In whatever you do just be considerate. And be mindful of the long-term implications. Don't commit your successor to arrangements that may throw his plans out of kilter.
The government is still in charge of the affairs of the state. The security and running of the state is in the hands of the current administration. The government, therefore, is competent to determine the course that the nation takes.
In exercising its powers however, there must be restraints. The making of critical "midnight" appointments (while it may be completely legitimate) does not augur well for the transition process. Especially when it is entering into financial obligations, which the incoming administration would have to take care of.
The Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, Mr Kwaku Agyeman Manu, has waded into this conversation. In an interview with citifm, he quizzed: "are you leaving resources there to pay for the commitment or you are just committing expenditure for someone to come and raise money to pay?"
The Ghana Integrity Initiative has rightly pointed out that some of these midnight contractual agreements will lead to judgement debts. A statement that brings this fear home is one by the New Patriotic Party (NPP), which says that it reserves the right to review contracts and agreements entered into by government.
It would seem that this statement by the incoming administration ignores the fact that the state is a continuum.
Certainly judgement debts and constitutional breaches await the incoming government – if they decide to tamper with the agreements and appointments being entered into with the government.
Interestingly, the Premium Times of Nigeria in June 2015 published a story with the title: "Joda Committee to Buhari: Sack Jonathan's last-minutes appointees, review contracts of last 18 months." The title says it all. Much as we have our unique experiences, we ought to learn from others.
These actions by the President are sincerely unnecessary. Since conceding, he has been very state manly. He ought to continue in that way. The practice in most advanced jurisdictions is for the government to 'back off' in its final weeks.
In the United States, the government is considered as a 'lame duck'. It does not do much. It grants pardons here and there. And most importantly puts measures in place to welcome the new entrant.
A lot has been said about a precedent set by former President John Agyekum Kufuor. He announced increases in public sector wages between 16-32 per cent. That was condemned across board.
A former Finance Minister, Yaw Osafo Maafo condemned the decision of President Kufuor. "There should have been a silent memorandum to the NDC detailing what has been discussed and agreed, for them to have a look at it and incorporate it in the budget", he said.
Nobody would have expected this government to do what it is currently doing – especially because it was at the receiving end. But it is politics as usual. Expediency is king!

Commissioner Bud Selig announced today that Major League Baseball would remain a illegitimate sport by rewarding steroid users with trophies titles and records. He stated that unlike other professional sports that strip athletes of their wins and records even years after they accomplished them, Major League Baseball would not join the realm of legitimate sports. "We made too much money from this, and will be teaming up with the WWE to provide even greater entertainment and record breaking headlines. You never know."
Commissioner Selig also announced a plan to honor the rampant use of steroids in baseball over the last decade. The 2008 season will mark a shrinkage in the ball size in baseball. The decision to reduce the bat has not been made yet, but Bud Selig announced, "Ball shrinkage is the best way we can think of to honor steroids monetary gift to Major League Baseball."

|Holly Fulton Spring/Summer 2013
This season the trend sprouted up on the catwalks of Prada, Holly Fulton and Moschino to name a few, channelling both the sixties hippy era as well in a bolder sense with big prints and pop up florals sewn onto tops, skirts and scarves.
And it seems Kate Middleton has been quick to incorporate this trend into her maternity wardrobe. Last week she was spotted scooping up a delicate print floral frock from UK brand Lovestruck.
Although the £37 Deirdre frock wasn't actually labelled as "maternity" the elasticated waist makes it a perfect for that growing bump.

When the British wrested New Amsterdam from the Dutch in 1664, the truth about its thriving, polyglot society began to disappear into myths about an island purchased for 24 dollars and a cartoonish peg-legged governor. But the story of the Dutch colony of New Netherland was merely lost, not destroyed: 12,000 pages of its records–recently declared a national treasure–are now being translated. Russell Shorto draws on this remarkable archive in The Island at the Center of the World, which has been hailed by The New York Times as "a book that will permanently alter the way we regard our collective past."
The Dutch colony pre-dated the "original" thirteen colonies, yet it seems strikingly familiar. Its capital was cosmopolitan and multi-ethnic, and its citizens valued free trade, individual rights, and religious freedom. Their champion was a progressive, young lawyer named Adriaen van der Donck, who emerges in these pages as a forgotten American patriot and whose political vision brought him into conflict with Peter Stuyvesant, the autocratic director of the Dutch colony. The struggle between these two strong-willed men laid the foundation for New York City and helped shape American culture. The Island at the Center of the World uncovers a lost world and offers a surprising new perspective on our own.
New York Times bestselling historian Ian Grey threads his way through these turbulent centuries, his focus on the private lives of the tsars themselves, the rulers whose personal histories are entwined with the history of the empire. He brings to life the passions, rages, intrigues, and greatness of the remarkable men and women who guided the destiny of Russia and changed the world.
"[A] wonderfully entertaining history of pirates and piracy . . . a rip-roaring read . . . fascinating and unexpected."—Men's Journal
This rollicking account of the golden age of piracy is packed with vivid history and high seas adventure. David Cordingly, an acclaimed expert on pirates, reveals the spellbinding truth behind the legends of Blackbeard, Captain Kidd, Sir Francis Drake, the fierce female brigands Mary Read and Anne Bonny, and others who rode and robbed upon the world's most dangerous waters. Here, in thrilling detail, are the weapons they used, the ships they sailed, and the ways they fought—and were defeated. Under the Black Flag also charts the paths of fictional pirates such as Captain Hook and Long John Silver. The definitive resource on the subject, this book is as captivating as it is supremely entertaining.
Praise for Under the Black Flag
"[A] lively history . . . If you've ever been seduced by the myth of the cutlass-wielding pirate, consider David Cordingly's Under the Black Flag."—USA Today, "Best Bets"
"Engagingly told . . . a tale of the power of imaginative literature to re-create the past."—Los Angeles Times
"Entirely engaging and informative . . . a witty and spirited book."—The Washington Post Book World
"Plenty of thrills and adventure to satisfy any reader."—The Philadelphia Inquirer
Peter Wilson's book is a major work, the first new history of the war in a generation, and a fascinating, brilliantly written attempt to explain a compelling series of events. Wilson's great strength is in allowing the reader to understand the tragedy of mixed motives that allowed rulers to gamble their countries' future with such horrifying results. The principal actors in the drama (Wallenstein, Ferdinand II, Gustavus Adolphus, Richelieu) are all here, but so is the experience of the ordinary soldiers and civilians, desperately trying to stay alive under impossible circumstances.
The extraordinary narrative of the war haunted Europe's leaders into the twentieth century (comparisons with 1939-45 were entirely appropriate) and modern Europe cannot be understood without reference to this dreadful conflict.
It was the autumn of 1628, and the Batavia, the Dutch East India Company's flagship, was loaded with a king's ransom in gold, silver, and gems for her maiden voyage to Java. The Batavia was the pride of the Company's fleet, a tangible symbol of the world's richest and most powerful commercial monopoly. She set sail with great fanfare, but the Batavia and her gold would never reach Java, for the Company had also sent along a new employee, Jeronimus Corneliszoon, a bankrupt and disgraced man who possessed disarming charisma and dangerously heretical ideas.
With the help of a few disgruntled sailors, Jeronimus soon sparked a mutiny that seemed certain to succeed—but for one unplanned event: In the dark morning hours of June 3, the Batavia smashed through a coral reef and ran aground on a small chain of islands near Australia. The commander of the ship and the skipper evaded the mutineers by escaping in a tiny lifeboat and setting a course for Java—some 1,800 miles north—to summon help. Nearly all of the passengers survived the wreck and found themselves trapped on a bleak coral island without water, food, or shelter. Leaderless, unarmed, and unaware of Jeronimus's treachery, they were at the mercy of the mutineers.
Jeronimus took control almost immediately, preaching his own twisted version of heresy he'd learned in Holland's secret Anabaptist societies. More than 100 people died at his command in the months that followed. Before long, an all-out war erupted between the mutineers and a small group of soldiers led by Wiebbe Hayes, the one man brave enough to challenge Jeronimus's band of butchers.
Unluckily for the mutineers, the Batavia's commander had raised the alarm in Java, and at the height of the violence the Company's gunboats sailed over the horizon. Jeronimus and his mutineers would meet an end almost as gruesome as that of the innocents whose blood had run on the small island they called Batavia's Graveyard.
Impeccably researched and beautifully written, Batavia's Graveyard is the next classic of narrative nonfiction, the book that secures Mike Dash's place as one of the finest writers of the genre.

No one was better equipped to report on the affairs of the Plymouth community than William Bradford. Revered for his patience, wisdom, and courage, Bradford was elected to the office of governor in 1621, and he continued to serve in that position for more than three decades. His memoirs of the colony remained virtually unknown until the nineteenth century. Lost during the American Revolution, they were discovered years later in London and published after a protracted legal battle. The current edition rendered into modern English and with an introduction by Harold Paget, remains among the most readable books from seventeenth-century America.
We live in a world transformed by scientific discovery. Yet today, science and its practitioners have come under political attack. In this fascinating history spanning continents and centuries, historian David Wootton offers a lively defense of science, revealing why the Scientific Revolution was truly the greatest event in our history.
The Invention of Science goes back five hundred years in time to chronicle this crucial transformation, exploring the factors that led to its birth and the people who made it happen. Wootton argues that the Scientific Revolution was actually five separate yet concurrent events that developed independently, but came to intersect and create a new worldview. Here are the brilliant iconoclasts—Galileo, Copernicus, Brahe, Newton, and many more curious minds from across Europe—whose studies of the natural world challenged centuries of religious orthodoxy and ingrained superstition.
From gunpowder technology, the discovery of the new world, movable type printing, perspective painting, and the telescope to the practice of conducting experiments, the laws of nature, and the concept of the fact, Wotton shows how these discoveries codified into a social construct and a system of knowledge. Ultimately, he makes clear the link between scientific discovery and the rise of industrialization—and the birth of the modern world we know.
An Italian village on a hilltop near the Adriatic coast, a decaying palazzo facing the sea, and in the basement, cobwebbed and dusty, lit by a single bulb, an archive unknown to scholars. Here, a young graduate student from Rome, Francesca Cappelletti, makes a discovery that inspires a search for a work of art of incalculable value, a painting lost for almost two centuries.
The artist was Caravaggio, a master of the Italian Baroque. He was a genius, a revolutionary painter, and a man beset by personal demons. Four hundred years ago, he drank and brawled in the taverns and streets of Rome, moving from one rooming house to another, constantly in and out of jail, all the while painting works of transcendent emotional and visual power. He rose from obscurity to fame and wealth, but success didn't alter his violent temperament. His rage finally led him to commit murder, forcing him to flee Rome a hunted man. He died young, alone, and under strange circumstances.
Caravaggio scholars estimate that between sixty and eighty of his works are in existence today. Many others–no one knows the precise number–have been lost to time. Somewhere, surely, a masterpiece lies forgotten in a storeroom, or in a small parish church, or hanging above a fireplace, mistaken for a mere copy.
Prizewinning author Jonathan Harr embarks on an spellbinding journey to discover the long-lost painting known as The Taking of Christ–its mysterious fate and the circumstances of its disappearance have captivated Caravaggio devotees for years. After Francesca Cappelletti stumbles across a clue in that dusty archive, she tracks the painting across a continent and hundreds of years of history. But it is not until she meets Sergio Benedetti, an art restorer working in Ireland, that she finally manages to assemble all the pieces of the puzzle.
Praise for The Lost Painting
"Jonathan Harr has gone to the trouble of writing what will probably be a bestseller . . . rich and wonderful. . . . In truth, the book reads better than a thriller. . . . If you're a sucker for Rome, and for dusk . . . [you'll] enjoy Harr's more clearly reported details about life in the city."—The New York Times Book Review
"Jonathan Harr has taken the story of the lost painting, and woven from it a deeply moving narrative about history, art and taste—and about the greed, envy, covetousness and professional jealousy of people who fall prey to obsession. It is as perfect a work of narrative nonfiction as you could ever hope to read."—The Economist
In A Letter Concerning Toleration, composed as early as 1667 but not published for political reasons until 1689 — after the "Glorious Revolution" — Locke pleaded for religious tolerance on grounds similar to his argument for political freedom, i.e., that all men are by nature "free, equal, and independent," and are entitled to freedom of thought, freedom of speech, and freedom of worship. To help guarantee the latter freedom, Locke called for separation of church and state.
The basis of social and political philosophy for generations, these works laid the foundation of the modern democratic state in England and abroad. Their enduring importance makes them essential reading for students of philosophy, history, and political science.
"For everyone who loves Nantucket Island this is the indispensable book." —Russell Baker
In his first book of history, Nathaniel Philbrick reveals the people and the stories behind what was once the whaling capital of the world. Beyond its charm, quaint local traditions, and whaling yarns, Philbrick explores the origins of Nantucket in this comprehensive history. From the English settlers who thought they were purchasing a "Native American ghost town" but actually found a fully realized society, through the rise and fall of the then thriving whaling industry, the story of Nantucket is a truly unique chapter of American history.
A Hangman's Diary is not only a collection of detailed writings by Schmidt about his work, but also an account of criminal procedure in Germany during the Middle Ages. With analysis and explanation, editor Albrecht Keller and translators C. Calvert and A. W. Gruner have put together a masterful tome that sets the scene of execution day and puts you in Master Franz Schmidt's shoes as he does his duty for his country.
Originally published more than eighty years ago, A Hangman's Diary gives a year-by-year breakdown on all of Master Schmidt's executions, which include hangings, beheadings, and other methods of murder, as well as explanations of each crime and the reason for the punishment. An incredible classic, A Hangman's Diary is more than a history lesson; it shows the true anarchy that inhabited our world only a few hundred years ago.

A Vermeer painting shows a military officer in a Dutch sitting room, talking to a laughing girl. In another canvas, fruit spills from a blue-and-white porcelain bowl. Familiar images that captivate us with their beauty--but as Timothy Brook shows us, these intimate pictures actually give us a remarkable view of an expanding world. The officer's dashing hat is made of beaver fur from North America, and it was beaver pelts from America that financed the voyages of explorers seeking routes to China-prized for the porcelains so often shown in Dutch paintings of this time, including Vermeer's. In this dazzling history, Timothy Brook uses Vermeer's works, and other contemporary images from Europe, Asia, and the Americas to trace the rapidly growing web of global trade, and the explosive, transforming, and sometimes destructive changes it wrought in the age when globalization really began.
In 1825, when Pepys's memoirs were first published, Francis Jeffrey of The Edinburgh Review declared, "We can scarcely say that we wish it a page shorter... it is very entertaining thus to be transported into the very heart of a time so long gone by; and to be admitted into the domestic intimacy, as well as the public councils of a man of great activity and circulation in the reign of Charles II." Edited and abridged by literary critic and author Richard Le Gallienne, this edition features an Introduction by Robert Louis Stevenson.
Lodewijk Petram's eye-opening history demystifies financial instruments by linking today's products to yesterday's innovations, tying the market's operation to the behavior of individuals and the workings of the world around them. Traveling back to seventeenth-century Amsterdam, Petram visits the harbor and other places where merchants met to strike deals. He bears witness to the goings-on at a notary's office and sits in on the consequential proceedings of a courtroom. He describes in detail the main players, investors, shady characters, speculators, and domestic servants and other ordinary folk, who all played a role in the development of the market and its crises. His history clarifies concerns that investors still struggle with today, such as fraud, the value of information, trust and the place of honor, managing diverging expectations, and balancing risk, and does so in a way that is vivid, relatable, and critical to understanding our contemporary financial predicament.
Founded nearly twenty-seven centuries ago as the Greek colony of Byzantium, the city was harassed by the barbaric Thracians, attacked by the Persians, vied for by the Athenians and Spartans. Weakened and dispirited, its citizens finally were forced to seek the protection of Rome, and the city became little more than a Roman outpost. Then, in the fourth century, the Roman Emperor Constantine I decided to build his capital on the site. It was in the new city of Constantinople that ancient Greco-Roman culture was married to Eastern Orthodox Christianity and that Western civilization became Christian civilization. As the center of the vast Byzantine Empire, the city was one of the richest and most important on earth. But because of its wealth, it was sacked by the Crusaders in 1204. And because of its strategic location, it was conquered by the Ottoman Turks in 1453.
Since then, as the city of Istanbul, it has remained an international metropolis, a city of East and West, a city whose great paintings, mosaics, statuary, and architecture reflect the many cultures that have been centered there and the many ages the city has survived. Here is its story.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
Captain John Smith's 1607 voyage to Jamestown was not his first trip abroad. He had traveled throughout Europe, been sold as a war captive in Turkey, escaped, and returned to England in time to join the Virginia Company's colonizing project. In Jamestown migrants, merchants, and soldiers who had also sailed to the distant shores of the Ottoman Empire, Africa, and Ireland in search of new beginnings encountered Indians who already possessed broad understanding of Europeans. Experience of foreign environments and cultures had sharpened survival instincts on all sides and aroused challenging questions about human nature and its potential for transformation.
It is against this enlarged temporal and geographic background that Jamestown dramatically emerges in Karen Kupperman's breathtaking study. Reconfiguring the national myth of Jamestown's failure, she shows how the settlement's distinctly messy first decade actually represents a period of ferment in which individuals were learning how to make a colony work. Despite the settlers' dependence on the Chesapeake Algonquians and strained relations with their London backers, they forged a tenacious colony that survived where others had failed. Indeed, the structures and practices that evolved through trial and error in Virginia would become the model for all successful English colonies, including Plymouth.
Capturing England's intoxication with a wider world through ballads, plays, and paintings, and the stark reality of Jamestown--for Indians and Europeans alike--through the words of its inhabitants as well as archeological and environmental evidence, Kupperman re-creates these formative years with astonishing detail.
A collection of writings by the Ambrosian monk Francesco Maria Guazzo, the Compendium comprehensively and penetratingly describes the entire practice and profession of witchcraft. First published in 1608, the commentaries came at an appropriate time. Contemporary accounts noted that witchcraft and sorcery had "spread in all directions," leaving "no country, town, village, or district, no class of society" free from the practice. This probing work, by a distinguished writer and scholar who perceived the devil as an evil force seeking to destroy men's bodies and souls, was an attempt to help man live piously and devoutly, thus guarding against such seductions and manipulations.
Reproduced from a rare limited edition published in 1929 and supplemented with many erudite editorial notes by the Rev. Montague Summers, the Compendium Maleficarum includes profoundly serious discussions of witches' pacts with the devil, finely detailed descriptions of witches' powers, poisons, and crimes; sleep-inducing spells and methods for removing them, apparitions of demons and specters, diseases caused by demons, and other topics. Also examined in detail are witches' alleged powers to transport themselves from place to place, create living things, make beasts talk and the dead reappear; witches' use of religion to heal the sick, laws observed by witches to cause and cure illness, differences between demoniacs and the bewitched, and other subjects from the realm of the supernatural.
Here is an encyclopedic tract of incalculable worth to the historians and student of the occult and anyone intrigued by necromantic lore, sabbats, sorceries, and trafficking with demons.
Consisting of direct translations of the trial testimony, The Trial of Tempel Anneke portrays a large and varied cast of characters including trades people, farmers, local nobility, village drunkards, and Tempel Anneke herself. Tempel Anneke was in several ways typical of those accused of witchcraft, yet from the testimony she emerges as a complex and controversial figure. She was literate and owned a few books and herbals; she prided herself on her medical and pharmaceutical knowledge and until the final stages of the trial when her confession was extracted under torture, she was sharp, assertive, and even witty in her responses to questioning. This English translation offers direct archival insight into the workings of 17th century law, contemporary understandings of justice, perceptions of natural and magical causes, and above all, the social history of the period.
While other witchcraft materials exist, this is the only text available in English that allows students to follow a witchcraftÿtrial from beginning to end. Highly readable, this astonishing narrative is perfectly suited to being read as a complete document. The useful additions of introduction, appendices, glossary, and index provide readers with important background information so that they can engage directly with the material.
This book presents a selection of contemporaries' accounts of the king's trial and their reactions to it, as well as a report of the trial of the king's own judges once the wheel of fortune turned and monarchy was restored. It uses the words of people directly involved to offer insight into the causes and consequences of these momentous events.
One of Europe's most important literary figures, Jonathan Swift was also an inspired humorist, a beloved companion, and a conscientious Anglican minister—as well as a hoaxer and a teller of tales. His anger against abuses of power would produce the most famous satires of the English language: Gulliver's Travels as well as the Drapier Papers and the unparalleled Modest Proposal, in which he imagined the poor of Ireland farming their infants for the tables of wealthy colonists.
John Stubbs's biography captures the dirt and beauty of a world that Swift both scorned and sought to amend. It follows Swift through his many battles, for and against authority, and in his many contradictions, as a priest who sought to uphold the dogma of his church; as a man who was quite prepared to defy convention, not least in his unshakable attachment to an unmarried woman, his "Stella"; and as a writer whose vision showed that no single creed holds all the answers.
Impeccably researched and beautifully told, in Jonathan Swift Stubbs has found the perfect subject for this masterfully told biography of a reluctant rebel—a voice of withering disenchantment unrivaled in English.
"An almost encyclopedic chronicle of women in 17th century England...wives, warriors, heiresses, preachers... alive with anecdote after anecdote." – The New York Times Book Review
The island's main city, Willemstad, had a non-Dutch majority composed largely of free blacks, urban slaves, and Sephardic Jews, who communicated across ethnic divisions in a new creole language called Papiamentu. For Linda M. Rupert, the emergence of this creole language was one of the two defining phenomena that gave shape to early modern Curaçao. The other was smuggling. Both developments, she argues, were informal adaptations to life in a place that was at once polyglot and regimented. They were the sort of improvisations that occurred wherever expanding European empires thrust different peoples together.
Creolization and Contraband uses the history of Curaçao to develop the first book-length analysis of the relationship between illicit interimperial trade and processes of social, cultural, and linguistic exchange in the early modern world. Rupert argues that by breaking through multiple barriers, smuggling opened particularly rich opportunities for cross-cultural and interethnic interaction. Far from marginal, these extra-official exchanges were the very building blocks of colonial society.

It gives a fresh portrayal of Henry VIII, cutting away the misleading mythology that surrounds him in order to provide a vivid account of this passionate, wilful, intelligent and destructive king. This compelling biography will be essential reading for all early modern students.
Many came, as Thomas Paine stated, in search of asylum. But they also came with an intent to preserve and refresh aspects of life in their homelands.
In 1776, Europe boasted a rich civilization, alive with dynamic ideas, flourishing arts, and promising concepts in science. The foundations of industry and business were established, and social reforms were being undertaken, which Europeans took with them as they colonized and traded. They had come in contact with Eastern civilizations, above all, China. Here, from award-winning historian Marshall B. Davidson, is the story of the world of 1776.
The book focuses on the vast changes that took place in Western civilization between 1450 and 1650, from Gutenberg's printing press and the subsequent revolution in the spread of ideas to the close of the Thirty Years' War. Eire devotes equal attention to the various Protestant traditions and churches as well as to Catholicism, skepticism, and secularism, and he takes into account the expansion of European culture and religion into other lands, particularly the Americas and Asia. He also underscores how changes in religion transformed the Western secular world. A book created with students and nonspecialists in mind, Reformations is an inspiring, provocative volume for any reader who is curious about the role of ideas and beliefs in history.

The first modern Russian was Peter the Great. In this enthralling biography of that remarkable ruler, award-winning historian Ian Grey paints an illuminating portrait - clear, objective, and without malice or sentimentality. Here we have, life-size, not only the great czar, but the man who fell in love with a peasant girl and made her his empress; the father who was betrayed by his son; the giant who carried all his life the scars of a childhood terror; the soldier, sailor, laborer, innovator, and architect of a nation.
This exciting new collection draws together the latest scholarship in the study of material culture and offers students a critique and explanation of the notion of commodity and a reinterpretation of the meaning of exchange. It engages with the concepts of 'proto-globalization', 'the first global age' and 'commodities/consumption'. Divided into three parts, the volume considers in Part One, Objects of Global Knowledge, in Part Two, Objects of Global Connections, and finally, in Part Three, Objects of Global Consumption. The collection concludes with afterwords from three of the leading historians in the field, Maxine Berg, Suraiya Faroqhi and Paula Findlen, who offer their critical view of the methodologies and themes considered in the book and place its arguments within the wider field of scholarship.
Extensively illustrated, and with chapters examining case studies from Northern Europe to China and Australia, this book will be essential reading for students of global history.
This uniquely comprehensive collection of translated documents covers all aspects of the war in the words and images of those who directly experienced it, from the key political and military decision-makers, through the middling ranks of officers and envoys to the masses of ordinary soldiers and civilians, laity and clergy, women and men.
Most of the material appears in English for the first time, including a variety of previously unpublished archival sources, all reproduced in their full original length. The wide range of sources covered includes:
• state documents
• treatises
• diplomatic and private correspondence
• diaries
• financial records
• artistic evidence
Thematically organised, the material is supported by an authoritative introduction, a guide to further reading and a full chronology, as well as extensive annotations explaining terms and points of detail. The rich source material and essential context that this book provides make it an invaluable resource for students and anyone interested in European and military history.
Leviathan is divided into four parts: In the first part, Of Man, Hobbes presents a view of human beings and of the natural world in general that is materialistic and mechanistic. In the second part, Of Commonwealth, he defends the theory of absolute sovereignty, the view that the government has all the political power and has the right to control any aspect of life. In the third part, Of a Christian Commonwealth, he critiques concepts like revelation, prophets, and miracles in such a way that it becomes doubtful whether they can be rationally justified. In the fourth part, Of the Kingdom of Darkness, he explains various ways in which priestly religion has corrupted religion and transgressed the rights of the sovereign.
A stunning variety of people lived in this coastal society, struggling to work together across deep cultural divides and in the process creating a dynamic creole culture. Kriger digs further than any previous historian of Africa into the records of England's Royal African Company to illuminate global trade patterns, the interconnectedness of Asian, African, and European markets, and—most remarkably—the individual lives that give Making Money its human scale.
By inviting readers into the day-to-day workings of early modern trade in the Atlantic basin, Kriger masterfully reveals the rich social relations at its core. Ultimately, this accessible book affirms Africa's crucial place in world history during a transitional period, the early modern era.
December 1602. After forty-four years on the throne, Queen Elizabeth is in decline. The formidable ruler whose motto is Semper eadem (I never change) has become a dithering old woman, missing teeth and wearing makeup half an inch thick. The kingdom has been weakened by the cost of war with Spain and the simmering discontent of both the rich and the poor. The stage has been set, at long last, for succession. But the Queen who famously never married has no heir.
Elizabeth's senior relative is James VI of Scotland, Protestant son of Elizabeth's cousin Mary Queen of Scots. But as a foreigner and a Stuart, he is excluded from the throne under English law. The road to and beyond his coronation will be filled with conspiracy and duplicity, personal betrayals and political upheavals.
Bringing history to thrilling life, Leanda de Lisle captures the time, place, and players as never before. As the Queen nears the end, we witness the scheming of her courtiers for the candidates of their choice; blood-soaked infighting among the Catholic clergy as they struggle to survive in the face of persecution; the widespread fear that civil war, invasion, or revolution will follow the monarch's death; and the signs, portents, and ghosts that seem to mark her end.
Here, too, are the surprising and, to some, dismaying results of James's ascension: his continuation of Elizabeth's persecution of Catholics, his desire to unite his two kingdoms into a new country called Britain, and the painful contrast between the pomp and finery of Elizabeth's court and the begrimed quality of his own.
Around the old queen and the new king, swirl a cast of unforgettable characters, including Arbella Stuart, James's ambitious and lonely first cousin; his childish, spoiled rival for power, Sir Walter Raleigh, who plotted to overthrow the king; and Sir John Harrington, Elizabeth's wily godson, who switched his loyalties to James long before the queen's death.
Courtesy of Leanda de Lisle's keenly modern view of this tumultuous time, we are given intimate insights into of political power plays and psychological portraits relevant to our own era. After Elizabeth is a unique look at a pivotal year–and a dazzling debut for an exciting new historian.

Japanese diver found drifting out to sea by New Zealand rescue vessel
A chance encounter with a police rescue boat saved a young Japanese diver as she drifted out to sea during a weekend scuba trip that went wrong off the coast of the New Zealand capital, Wellington.
Yuki Fujita, 28, from Kobe, went diving for crayfish on Saturday. When she surfaced early from the dive, she couldn't find her diving buddy, the dive group or their boat, local media reported Monday.
She had drifted 4.5 kilometers away from the party near Cook Strait between North and South Islands and was paddling for her life wearing her scuba tank and weight belt in heavy seas.
After 2-1/2 hours adrift, when Fujita, an experienced diver, was out of sight of land, a police search launch suddenly appeared close by -- as it sped to the search zone several kilometers away.
"It was my last hope and I yelled 'help, help' and waved my rescue sausage," she said, referring to the bright orange inflatable plastic strip divers carry to attract attention in an emergency.
She was pulled from the water and only then realized how near she had come to death.
"I started shaking and burst into tears and vowed I would never scuba dive again," she told Wellington daily, The Dominion-Post.
The newspaper reported that about the time of the rescue back in Kobe, her mother, Mieko Fujita, was visiting the shrine at the family grave to pray, a prayer Mrs. Fujita believes helped save her daughter's life.

Tiramisu Semifreddo
No need to decide between after-dinner coffee or dessert. This frozen tiramisu dessert combines both in one delicious slice-and-serve treat. To make this semifreddo recipe taste like a mug of java, we add a layer of Kahlua-spiked coffee ice cream.
Rate This!
Tiramisu Semifreddo
- Chill three medium bowls. Line a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, allowing plastic wrap to hang over the edges. Place 10 of the ladyfinger halves in a single layer on the bottom of the prepared pan; set aside.
- In one of the chilled bowls, stir together coffee ice cream and Kahlua until smooth. Spoon ice cream mixture over ladyfingers in the pan, spreading evenly. Place loaf pan in the freezer.
- In another chilled bowl beat mascarpone cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed about 30 seconds or until softened. Using a wooden spoon, stir in 1/2 cup of the vanilla bean ice cream just until combined. Stir in the remaining vanilla bean ice cream. Remove loaf pan from the freezer and layer 11 ladyfinger halves on top of the coffee layer. Top ladyfingers with mascarpone mixture, spreading evenly. Return loaf pan to freezer.
- In the remaining chilled bowl stir together the chocolate ice cream, whipping cream, and vanilla. Layer the remaining 14 ladyfinger halves on top of the mascarpone layer. Top ladyfingers with chocolate ice cream mixture, spreading evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours.
- Let semifreddo stand at room temperature for 10 minutes prior to serving. Dust top with cocoa powder. To serve, slice semifreddo. If desired, serve with Chocolate Ganache.
From the Test Kitchen
If using the Ladyfinger recipe, and only 6 will fit per layer, you will need 18 total for the recipe. The semifreddo recipe calls for 35 if using purchased ladyfingers because they are significantly thinner than the homemade ones. (The recipe makes 24 ladyfingers; the extra can be eaten or stored for another use.)
Or use regular vanilla ice cream and add the seeds of one vanilla bean.
Chocolate Ganache
- Chop chocolate and place in a glass bowl; set aside. Heat whipping cream to a simmer. Pour over chopped chocolate, and let stand 5 minutes without stirring. Stir until smooth.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 very large baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl combine egg yolks, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, hot water, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed about 2 minutes or until thick and pale yellow.
- Wash beaters thoroughly. In a large bowl beat egg whites and salt on medium to high speed until soft peaks form (tips curl). Gradually add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight). Add the yolk mixture and fold in by hand just until combined. Sift 1/2 cup all-purpose flour over egg mixture; fold in gently, just until combined. Repeat with remaining 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (do not overmix).
- Place batter in a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round tip. Pipe batter into 48 ladyfinger shapes (about 3 inches long and 1 inch wide) onto prepared baking sheets, about 1 inch apart. Sift powdered sugar over ladyfingers.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until set and golden brown. Let cool on baking sheets for 10 minutes. Transfer to wire racks; cool completely.

Julie Ross, a regular winner at amateur level, is hoping to transfer those winning ways to the professional scene later this year.
The 23-year-old Northumbria University post-graduate student has set her sights on turning pro and trying for the LPGA European Tour which will involve going to the October qualifying school.
Having won the Northumberland County Championship, Northern Ladies title and the prestigious Pleasington Putter, the Whitley Bay golfer feels her game has improved to a level where she can think about the pro ranks.
"I've always wanted to go professional but my golf has got better in recent years and now that I have my degree I feel I want to give it a shot," she said.
The North-East's most successful women professional was Jenny Lee Smith, who met with some success on the WPGA tour and also played on the LPGA circuit in the USA before retiring from professional golf a couple of years ago.
The likes of Janet Soulsby, Linzi Fletcher and Marion Burton have also had a crack without setting the world on fire but Ross is one of a crop of highly promising young North-East women golfers and everyone will wish her well when she takes the plunge later this year.
Now playing off a handicap of plus one, her results, especially with the Northumbria University golf squad, have been impressive.
She competed head to head against men in the British Universities leagues and recently won the North of England Universities Championship at Rudding Park, Harrogate, beating a field of 68 men and women.
Along with Nick Scholey she has been the mainstay of the Northumbria side - both she and Scholey won nine of their ten league matches.
There's no doubt Ross has benefited from the Northumbria University golf scholarship and performance programme which involves high-quality coaching and competition.
This year the university has fielded two golf teams in the British Universities League and both have come out on top.
Ian Elvin, Director of University Sport, has been delighted with the progress made by the golfers in the past two years.
"Northumbria University has supported the development of talented golfers for the last five years through a scholarship programme geared to the development of a great golf team and support to each player to fulfil their potential," said Elvin.
"The quality of our golf this year has been a wonderful endorsement of what has been achieved. With Nick Scoley and Julie Ross playing excellent golf from a plus one handicap the whole team has responded to Mark Watkin's coaching, Colin Biott's team management and Nick Brooker's captaincy."
The Northumbria first team, led by geography student Brooker, won the Northern Premier League taking 23 points from 10 matches, beating last year's winners, Loughborough, into second place by six points. This is a fine achievement considering that the team was promoted from a lower league only last year.
The second team, captained by Jonny Peart, from Bishop Auckland, won Division 3A comfortably and it has been promoted to a higher league for next season.
At Harrogate, there were 17 teams representing 13 universities and Northumbria were second overall with Martyn Jobling, from Morpeth, also coming second in the nett competition.
Scholey, a former England Boys captain and a current Gloucestershire County player, recently won the North East Universities Order of Merit competition based on a series of Sunday medal rounds at Ramside Hall and was selected to play for the England Universities team.

Free movement is playful, practical, and personal. It's a means of exploring the world at large. The ability to move with confidence and to adapt to any environment. Free movement comes from dedicated physical preparation and holding a child-like mindset of curiosity. These Free Movement Snacks are meant to give you some philosophy and some to structure to help you see the world in opportunities and begin to take movement out of the box.
The Philosophical
We are the sum of our patterns. Sit at a desk for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for 10 years...your desk becomes your prison. Spend a lifetime playing it safe, refusing to believe in your own greatness...your mind becomes your prison.
When continuous effort yields no change in scenery. When every thought is edited and every action is scripted. When every step is forgotten before it was ever taken. This is the treadmill. Whether we're speaking in terms of movement or living, the treadmill is not the optimal environment in which to grow.
Spend enough time on a treadmill, your life will become one.
Movement is how we interact with the world. If these interactions are solely outcome-dependent or mechanically-assisted we are patterning an existence of disconnection.
How you move matters. Not just to your body, but to your being. Through movement we can break the patterns of fear and limitation that are restricting our human experience. The process of moving naturally can lead us to different patterns. Limitation can turn into opportunity, doubt can transform into confidence.
Day-to-day, the way in which we move patterns what we expect out of this life.
Expect to be a dynamic being. You are capable, adaptable, passionate, and authentic.
Expect to be mindful. Be conscious of your environment and the other organisms you share space with.
Expect to create your existence. Your current circumstances do not dictate who you are or what you are worth. Accept responsibility for living your own truth.
The Practical
Overs & Unders are a simple practice that promote mobility, balance, spatial awareness and foster the process of moving intuitively. Commonly seen at higher levels in the parkour world, the practice can be scaled to any level. Isolated techniques of vaulting, crawling, jumping, and low gait provide a greater array or options to move through the given context - here I'm playing within a scaffolding rig we have at our gym, but it could easily be a park bench, bike rack, or hand rail.
The fluid quality of the movement (and the conditioning from this practice) is earned from basic mastery of a few techniques. Mindfulness in practice leads to skill. Skill leads to options. Options lead to expression and flow. Begin with training the following three techniques and gradually transitioning between them.
- Duck under. Pass under the obstacle by hinging at the hips and maintaining a flat back position with hips and head at the same level. Practice passing just under the obstacles and close and quickly as possible without making contact. Lower obstacles will demand greater hip mobility and challenge posture.
- Tripod Vault. Support is created on the hand and opposite foot. Approach the obstacle, place the support hand followed by the support foot. The free leg passes under the body and over the obstacle to contact the ground and continue movement. As the speed increases, the support leg will bear far less weight only touching the obstacle for a brief moment in transition.
- Turn Vault. Place two hands on the bar offset from the midline of the body. Jump upwards and tuck the knees. As the body elevates over the bar, twist towards your hands. Hands will release from the bar briefly and reposition as you change orientation 180˚. You land facing the opposite direction.
Pattern an existence that reflects your greatness and live that shit every.damn.day.

Your search for "TINAG" returned 36 siRNAs
tubulointerstitial nephritis antigen
This gene encodes a glycoprotein that is restricted within the kidney to the basement membranes underlying the epithelium of Bowman's capsule and proximal and distal tubules. Autoantibodies against this protein are found in sera of patients with tubulointerstital nephritis, membranous nephropathy and anti-glomerular basement membrane nephritis. Ontogeny studies suggest that the expression of this antigen is developmentally regulated in a precise spatial and temporal pattern throughout nephrogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]

Before I get into Jolin's new line. here's the front page of WWD FRIDAY 2/26/10
haha. It's a real funky look altho I can't imagine pulling it off. But again, we're looking at this on 2010 and the trend is suppose for 2011. Remember.. that might be cool and you might want one when October comes around...
Jolin Tsai's line Seventy Two Changes.
The line was collaborated with Erman- the co-founder of Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. You can see a lot of his influence in the line. The plaids, prints and the fun vibe. I don't think it's anything too special, but it's definitely something I can see many girls wearing. Bloomingdale's on 59th and Lex carries them! And to my surprise... Nordstrom in my beloved homtown Cerritos, carries them as well. Although I wonder why either Nordstrom nor Bloomies carry them at South Coast Plaza aka #1 Asian people mall hang out spot in SoCal.
