Seven Palestinian women traveled to five cities across the United States this fall on a three-week cultural exchange trip sponsored by the U.S. State Department's International Visitor Leadership Program. Among the women's greatest surprises was their ease of movement.
This movement wasn't about cars and planes or freeways and roads. It was about their not having to go through checkpoints.
Living in a place where people are deemed dangerous brings with it few rewards. As Palestinians the women must endure life in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, which now has an imposing 25-foot high concrete "separation wall."
Construction of the wall began in 2002. Its 700 kilometers (1,126.5 miles) snake through the Israeli and the Palestinian territories and come complete with razor-wire fences, trenches and watchtowers. In some places the wall literally surrounds a village, like a prison, or cuts the village in two, thus making access a hardship and a burden.
Palestinians must go through countless checkpoints to get from place to place. They must carry identification and endure unfriendly Israeli soldiers who manage the checkpoints, said Reem Saleh, project coordinator for the Ministry of Culture and one of the seven visitors.
"Children can't get to school without delays at the checkpoints and that makes getting an education stressful and confusing," said Abeer Shihabi, division head in the Ministry of Education. "It takes some children 50 minutes to get to school when it used to take only eight minutes. Others begin a two-hour journey starting at 5 a.m. Each trip is dangerous and uncertain. Of course, they are searched at the checkpoints and the gates are not open at predictable or regular hours."
People fear the soldiers at the checkpoints, said Shihabi. Searches are often humiliating. Some women have waited so long at the checkpoints that they've delivered their babies.
Access to machinery, water and food markets is also a problem, especially for those who live in rural villages and farms, she said. Families can't see each other as often. For those who lose their jobs, they must rely on their relatives to give them a home or resources that they can't get themselves.
According to the United Nations, over 680,000 people, one third of the West Bank population, are affected by the wall. The World Court has called the wall a gross violation of international law and basic human rights.
"The wall's purpose is to annex lands of the Palestinians," said Nisreen Al-taher, a computer programmer and administrator for the Ministry of National Economy. And the Israeli occupation has also severely limited Palestinians' ability to participate in the global marketplace.
The Palestinian economy is deeply in debt and it shows no signs of a turn around, said Rola Abweh, division head of the Ministry of Finance. Unemployment is at 63 percent and there are no business or development opportunities because the business climate is too risky to attract those willing to invest.
The New York Times reported recently that 85 percent of factories in the Palestinian territories are shut or operating at less than 20 percent capacity.
Only 13 percent of Palestinian women are employed and nine percent are the sole breadwinners of their families, said Fatimah Botmeh, director of training and technical assistance for the Ministry of Women's Affairs.
The stress of the economic situation impacts Palestinian women considerably, she said. When they are widowed or their husbands are imprisoned, they are pressed to make a living for their families in addition to continuing their household responsibilities. The uncertainty of their situation leads to emotional and health problems. Then there is no government (rather it is called the Palestinian Authority) and no police, army or social services organization to assist them.
The World Bank estimates that 75 percent of the Palestinians live on less than $2 a day and so the people rely on outside sources to live.
People from all over the world sympathetic to the Palestinians are donating computers, sewing machines and other equipment. Because girls have the most difficulty in obtaining an education due to safety concerns, some charity groups take Palestinian girls from their villages and bring them to schools elsewhere so that can be educated and then return home to establish businesses in their community, said Botmeh.
The European Union maintains several towns with monetary and material aid and several non-governmental organizations (NGOs) help out as well. U.S. government aid to the Palestinians is minimal.
Hiba Abu Zayyad, a researcher in the Central Public Health Laboratory, said that the Japanese, Norwegians, Italians have especially pitched in to supply equipment and pharmaceuticals as well as food and water. However, the hospital buildings themselves are falling apart and access to advanced equipment remains elusive.
People in rural areas suffer the most, she said. Delays in mail delivery affect the reliability of their pathology tests. Sample kits often arrive just before the expiration date and are useless.
Gaza is isolated from the rest of the Palestinian territories and people live there without water, electricity or proper sanitation. It is a place ripe for disease and no one can do anything about it said Zayyad.
About 4.6 million Palestinian refugees live in the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. Only 3.7 million of them receive assistance from the United Nations Relief Works Agency (UNRWA). However, this funding has been cut and may be stopped because it is believed that the money is funding terrorists groups.
Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld, director of the New York-based American Center for Democracy and an expert on international terrorism, reported in September 2003 that the (UNRWA) distributed $521.7 million to the Palestinian Authority (PA) in 2002. However, the PA was staffed by Hamas who, she said, undoubtedly used the money for terrorist activities. Ehrenfeld also claimed that while Palestinian Arab refugees constitute only 17 percent of world's refugees, they receive more than one third of the annual refugee funds allocated by the UNRWA.
The Palestinian refugee problem was created during the 1948 Israeli War of Independence where between 520,000 and 800,000 refugees lost their homes and lands to Israel, according to the MidEast Web Gateway. There are even conflicting stories about what happened. The Israelis say the Palestinians attacked them and then fled voluntarily. The Palestinians believe that the Zionists suddenly attacked them, grabbed their lands and evicted them by force.
After the 1967 Six Day War several hundred thousand more refugees fled and were not allowed to return to their homes. Israel has consistently viewed the refugees as hostile, belligerent aggressors. The Palestinians, led by Yasser Arafat, denied Israel's right to exist (until 1988 when he accepted UN Security Council Resolution 242).
"It is the Arab-Israeli conflict that is the issue causing the problems on the West Bank," said Nabila Rizk, director of Evaluation at the Ministry of Women's Affairs. "If we solved that problem, the whole issue of the Middle East would be solved."
"It's not easy being Palestinian," said Rizk. "The United States, the leader of the free world, is usually biased toward the Israelis even though Palestinians are suffering the most from being killed and arrested by the occupying Israel army. Our homes are destroyed and our olive trees (a source of income as well as a symbol of life in that region) are cut down. Then the media criminalizes the Palestinians."
"Americans are used to seeing Jews as a civilized and good people rather than the Arabs and Muslims," said Rizk. "The Israelis come from all over the world [because of the Jewish diaspora] and they are used to dealing with everybody. They also make use of the Holocaust to gather sympathy for their cause [to establish and maintain an Israel state]."
As difficult as the situation is for the Palestinians, the seven Palestinian women expressed their great hope that all will things will turn out well-and they refuse to feel like victims.
Palestinians are "hanging on" said Botmeh, "because we believe that someday we will live in peace as a free and independent state."
"We need to work more to give absolute justice to our case," said Zayyad. "If we did not have this horrible situation to deal with, we would not be as strong as we are." She cites a Palestinian proverb that translates to: A hit that doesn't kill me just makes me stronger.
"It's in our blood to survive," said Zayyad.
The women agreed that just being in the United States to tell about their predicament is a good sign. After all, the U.S. State Department supported their trip.
"We are going to live. We are not giving up on life," said Botmeh. "As long as we are living, we will do our best to advance our cause. We do all of this for our children. We have hope for them and their future."
"We are born free," she said. "When you believe in a cause, you always feel strong and have to defend it. That is automatic."
As professional women, Botmeh believes that she and her colleagues are in positions where they can affect change.
(During their three-week tour of the United States, the seven Palestinian women visited Tampa, FL; Washington, D.C.; New York City, Reno, NV; and Kalamazoo, MI. The women were guests of Colleagues International in Kalamazoo, where this report originated.)

The Rich and Diverse Flora of Japan
7,000 native plants in Japan
Japan is located on a long, narrow island archipelago with a wide range of climates, from the subarctic region of Hokkaido in the north to the subtropical region of Okinawa in the south, and is characterised by clearly defined seasons and plentiful rainfall. The country is surrounded on all sides by the ocean, and its inland geography is varied and complex, with many rugged mountainous areas.
This great diversity in climate and geography has given rise to countless species of plants. The Japan archipelago was spared from the ravages of the glaciers and the resulting massive extinction of plant life that has taken place on many continents. At the same time, the process of repeated invasion by and isolation from other plant species that resulted from recurring connection to and separation from the Asian continent over millions of years has contributed to the richness of Japan's natural flora.
Traditionally, the lives of Japanese people - from the essentials of food, clothing, and housing to their spiritual lives - have been characterised by harmony with nature, and the land maintained with great care over many generations has become an essential part of the natural environment. This type of "controlled" natural environment has become the habitat for many species of wild plants in Japan.
There are about 7,000 species of "vascular plants" (seed plants, ferns, and other plants with vascular systems) in Japan, and about 40% of these (approximately 2,900 species) are recognised as being endemic to Japan. Japan's diverse and unique flora was created through a combination of human efforts and ideal natural conditions.

I started yesterday with the intention of an early start, aiming to visit the Castle Devin which is located 10 km far from my home. Morning view to the castle was amazing.
Virgin Tower
The ruin itself, however, is still a glorious landmark with turrets and
walls rising from the rocky hillsides.
Looking exactly like a rock from a chess board, the Virgin Tower stands separately from the Upper Castle and its one of the country's most iconic images.

Special Light-Absorbing Layer Makes Polymer Solar Cells 20% More Efficient
Sumit Chaudhary, left, and Kanwar Singh Nalwa of Iowa State University and the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory. Photo: Leah Hansen/ISU
Polymer Solar on the Road to Commercial Viability
When it comes to solar panels, one-size-doesn't-fit-all. Sometimes what you need it maximum efficiency (such as on a satellite) at whatever cost, but sometimes low-cost and flexibility are paramount. Polymer solar cells aren't yet commercially viable, but they show a lot of promise when it comes to those latter characteristics, and thanks to breakthroughs from labs all around the world, they could one day become ubiquitous. One such advance comes from the Iowa State University and the Ames Laboratory. Read on for details.
[Sumit Chaudhary, an Iowa State assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering and an associate of the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory,] said the key to improving the performance of solar cells made from flexible, lightweight and easy-to-manufacture polymers was to find a textured substrate pattern that allowed deposition of a light-absorbing layer that's uniformly thin - even as it goes up and down flat-topped ridges that are less than a millionth of a meter high. 'Our technology efficiently utilizes the light trapping scheme, and so solar cell efficiency improved by 20 percent.'
Tests also showed that light in the red/near infrared band edge was captured at a rate 100 percent higher than with flat cells.
Trapping More Light
So this special layer makes the polymer cell capture more energy not by directly converting a higher percentage of light into electricity, but by capturing more light to begin with so that even if the ratio of converted light isn't higher, the total amount of energy produced is still higher. This is a great way to do things because if you can then improve the conversion efficiency of the cell, you get a compounding effect.
It works a bit like: New Solar Cell is 98% Plastic and Catches a Record-Breaking 96% of Incident Light, which uses another way to capture more light (nanowires, instead of this textured layer).

Fifth-year Coach Gary Hindley held his initial organizational meeting for the Port St. Joe Jr./Sr. High School soccer program last week, welcoming 45 players, 25 boys and 20 girls.
Fifth-year Coach Gary Hindley held his initial organizational meeting for the Port St. Joe Jr./Sr. High School soccer program last week, welcoming 45 players, 25 boys and 20 girls.
Practice for the coming season officially opens Oct. 7 for the Lady Tiger Sharks and Oct. 14 for the Tiger Sharks.
The boys return 14 players, six starters, from a team that finished 13-3-1 overall last year, 7-0-1 in District 1-1A.
Among the returnees is junior forward Marcel Duarte and senior midfielder Drew Lacour, each an all-District player last year.
Duarte, who led the entire BayFranklinGulf area in scoring last year, notched 32 goals and has 59 for his career. The school record is 72 goals held by JMason Ray (2007-10).
Lacour is closing in the school record for assists. He has 22, trailing school record holder Daniel May (2008-11) by five.
"It will be hard to replace our five graduating players, four of which earned all-District honors, but it will be exciting to see how far our younger players have developed and progressed,� Hindley said. "We will be missing our outstanding starting goalkeeper from last year (Tucker Smith, 1.257 GAA) and three of our starting defenders, so putting that back in place during early season, will be our priority.
The Tiger Sharks host a preseason Jamboree Saturday, Nov. 2, before opening the regular season at North Bay Haven in Panama City Nov. 19.
The Lady Tiger Shark booters return 13 players from last year�s 10-6-1 squad. Eight of those were consistent starters, including all-District players junior Christian Laine (3 goals, 2 assists), senior defender Brittney Shoemaker (3,5) and junior midfielder Haley Wood (1,4), along with forwards Lexie McGhee (8,1) and Allie Strippling (3, 2), both seniors, and sophomore Kathleen Rish (13).
"We will be a young squad overall, so we will have to depend on our few experienced players to hold us together, until the younger players get the concepts of playing at this level," said Hindley, who has a 75-47-10 record at Port St. Joe.
The Lady Tiger Sharks will also host a Preseason Jamboree on Saturday, Oct. 26, before also opening at North Bay Haven on Nov. 19.
Coach Hindley, will once again be assisted by third year coach, Eli Duarte.


text: EWING, N.J., Oct. 9 -- Universal Display Corp., a developer of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technologies for flat panel displays, lighting and other optoelectronic applications, announced today it has received an award for $750,000 from the US Department of Energy (DOE). Universal Display and its research partners at Princeton University and the University of Southern California will develop and demonstrate a 6- by 6-inch white lighting source using two proprietary white light generation techniques based on their high-efficiency phosphorescent organic light-emitting device (PHOLED) technology. With general lighting being responsible for more than 20 percent of US energy consumption, new broadband white lighting sources with better power efficiency and less environmental impact than traditional incandescent and fluorescent lighting sources are of great interest to the DOE, Universal Display said. This Phase II award follows two $100,000 Phase I DOE Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contracts to Universal Display for the demonstration of innovative light extraction and voltage lowering techniques to improve OLED power efficiencies. Steven V. Abramson, president and COO of Universal Display, said, "We are very pleased that the Department of Energy is continuing to support Universal Display's development of revolutionary, energy-efficient lighting technology in this Phase II Program. The solid-state lighting industry represents a significant additional market opportunity for the company's PHOLED technology in the growing field of organic electronics."

In Praise of Madiba - Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela was a terrorist, a convict, a communist, a saboteur and an enemy of the State!
He was also one of them greatest heroes of the last century, He achieved in South Africa what even Mahatma Gandhi was unable to do in India and he did it in a way that respected all of humanity.
This is a man who evolved above the pettiness of racial conflict, a man who saw with profound clarity that South Africa was not a Black nation, a Coloured nation or a White nation. He saw South Africa as a great nation with opportunities for all people no matter their colour, their tribe, their religion, or their culture.
I was in South Africa in 1969 as a seaman on a Norwegian merchant ship. We were unloading sulfur and potash from Canada, a country whose anti apartheid policies did not stop them from selling resources including an ingredient for making gunpowder.
I saw apartheid first hand. I remember returning to the ship at midnight just as a night shift of factory workers were heading home. About a hundred Africans were walking down the sidewalk towards me, one white man, alone.
What did they do?
They all crossed the street and avoided eye contact with me. I saw real fear there and it was not a fear of me as an individual but of a State that threatened dire consequences should a white person be assaulted or even insulted. They all knew that my word was more powerful than all of their words combined.
What I saw that day was the face of tyranny.
While in South Africa, I heard about Nelson Mandela for the first time. He was a prisoner on Robben Island and strangely enough I found this out because I was interested in Robben Island because it means "island of seals" in Afrikaans. First I discovered that this rookery for seals also held a prison for political prisoners and then I discovered that one of these prisoners was a man named Nelson Mandela.
I was intrigued. So much so that I wrote an article about him, an article that I could not get published in the North American mainstream media because, according to the editors they were not interested in articles about terrorists.
I did publish the article in the Georgia Straight, an alternative weekly newspaper in Vancouver, British Columbia where I worked in the early Seventies along with alternative voices of reason and compassion like Bob Geldof.
And over the years I heard very little about Nelson Mandela. Stephen Biko was murdered and thousands of South Africans were persecuted as most of the world continued to do trade with South Africa as a strong pro-Western anti-communist power. They even developed and tested their own nuclear weapon.
If not for the powerful Black Lobby in the U.S. Congress, the United States would most likely have given South Africa even more support, including weapons.
But finally after years of struggle and hardship, apartheid was overthrown and Nelson Mandela became the first Black President of South Africa. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace. The U.S. presented him with the Medal of Freedom and the Soviet Union presented him with The Order of Lenin. Yet he still officially remained on the list of people barred from entry to the United States.
In 1969 or anytime during the Seventies, the very idea that Nelson Mandela would one day be President of South Africa was an impossible thought. No one, not even Mandela himself could imagine such a possibility. It was simply an impossibility.
And yet it happened. The impossible became possible and in achieving that position, in winning the Nobel prize, Mandela gave a gift to all of us and that was the gift of hope, the realization that no matter how daunting the situation, no matter how formidable the obstacles, that passion, courage and imagination can prevail.
Madiba died today at age 95.He is gone but what we will never lose is the legacy of this great man, the ideas that he transformed into reality, the dreams that he made real. The strength of his convictions and the passion and kindness of his heart.
We all die but few have lived as Nelson Mandela lived, few have achieved as much as he was able to achieve.
Even his prison number 46664 (meaning prisoner 466 incarcerated in 1964) is now the name of a humanitarian charitable organization. Mandela had been able to turn all the opposition against him in his life into tools to make this a better world.
The last one hundred years have given us very few exceptionally great inspirational and peaceful leaders. The three most influential have been Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Martin Luthor King and Nelson Mandela and only one of them was a President of a nation although I believe King would have become the greatest President of the United States if he had not been assassinated by a coward. Gandhi was also assassinated.
I am happy that Mandela was able to live a long and remarkable life.
He not only served his country with exceptional honour, he has served all of mankind with dignity and amazing grace.
Nelson Mandela 1918 -2013

In Academic Tapestries, Alan Graham recounts the unique – sometimes dark, sometimes humorous – personalizing and professionalizing factors that go into making an educator in the modern social climate. For Graham, these included his early days growing up in the Historic Sixth Ward of Houston, Texas, and on the Houston Tennis Courts, followed by training at the University of Texas and the University of Michigan, postgraduate experience at Harvard and the University of Amsterdam, and a 38-year professorship in biological sciences and geology at Kent State University, where he directed specialized coursework in field studies. He was a union organizer in the early days of collective bargaining on college campuses, served as Grievance Committee chairman during the fateful days of protest at Kent State, and was his wife's partner during a successful seven-year federal gender discrimination suit. With this unique perspective he recounts happenings at an iconic place during pivotal times in the nation's history and the role these events are playing in shaping education and defining the modern American character.
Alan Graham is the recipient of numerous awards and the author of several publications, including Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic History of North American Vegetation, Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic History of Latin American Vegetation and Terrestrial Environments, and A Natural History of the New World: The Ecology and Evolution of Plants in the Americas.

Star Wars: Age of Rebellion
C. Sharpe
A relatively silent diplomat sent to accrue supplies for the Rebellion.
Diplomat Quartermaster
Calculated Conversationalist
Duty: Resource Acquisition
Motivation: Connection (Political)
A relatively silent diplomat sent to accrue supplies for the Rebellion. She acts as an ambassador for the 'Crows', a clan residing on the insular world of Byss, where outerworld allegiances are founded only upon trade agreements.
The various clans of Byss are of many traditions, and hence members are found to be somewhat odd to offworlders. Crows, for instance, are known for masking their faces in public with large bird skulls. So loyally in fact, that some argue that the clan may not have as many members as it lets on, as they all look the same from the outside. To further their anonymity, Crows tend to go by their first initial. Despite these various rules and mannerisms, Crows also known to be sharp tongued and somewhat chaotic, favoring mischief just as much as the 'loot' they collect.
While loyal to her clan, C. has not always been looked upon fondly by her fellow Crows, who find her too compassionate to collect a big haul. It's for this reason that she was sent to supply the Rebels, as the clan did not expect many returns from the agreement. Knowing this, she aims to prove herself by finding significant gains within her new position.
C's brothers and sisters (D ,E ,F , G, A & B) pursue antics around the galaxy, and run into her from time to time…despite her best efforts. Although wiser than most, C is much younger then she let's on, making her the youngest of her siblings. Which is about as pleasant as one would expect.

Reworked Kitchens With Islands
Back in November, our neighbor who does kitchens helped us order cabinets from Ikea and he was going to place them together for us.
Preserve all food lined and put away. You don't need anything crawling in your food like mice and bugs. We put meals within the microwave or if want be within the fridge. FCEtier My grandmother's giant oval chartruse green set from about 1953 was given to my mother in 1973. Mama saved it until about 1995 or so. She had a yen for a round wood desk on a pedestal. Her grandchildren practically had a cow when they came upon she gave the set away. It appears that evidently a few of them had hoped to inheirit it!
Give them the homes and shacks, along with the land on which they stand, and, most necessary of all, the title deeds which certify their legal possession of these properties. This attack is an try to suppress the voice that has emerged from the dark corners of our nation. That voice is the voice of ordinary poor individuals. This assault is an try and terrorize that voice back into the dark corners. It is an try to turn the frustration and anger of the poor onto the poor so that we will miss the true enemy.
As a facet observe…I didn't need high backed stools, because I did not need them to dam the view of the kitchen and these stools tuck right below the counter out of sight. The stools are form Walmart $29.00 every!! On a recent journey to Austin with some household, we stopped en route in Waco & ate on the well-known Elite Circle Grille, a Waco landmark. Oh, the original Elite was constructed proper downtown in 1919 but burned down and this one changed it in the 30s, further out of downtown. i bought the table from joyce horn, however google it. sometimes one will come up on the internet or 1st dibs.
Sure, our kitchen is a lot more enjoyable too! We considered hiring knowledgeable to do our tile too, however we have been estimating it might be around $450. So $300 for 2 days of labor might not be too unhealthy. But the balconies overlooking Lake Travis the place the wedding would take place (weather permitting) were very scenic. And the food looked okay. And they'd do all of the clear up , and so on.

Grasp Toilet Transform
I wrote awhile in the past about the truth that we have been transforming our lavatory.. and that my husband and I had moved into the wee ones' toilet, which was an fascinating expertise. That was back in October. Ahem.
Your grasp toilet's surfaces do extra than just contribute to the overall aesthetic. They also take plenty of abuse. Porcelain tile is a favourite among designers, to be used on the floors and partitions alike. Yow will discover some variations within the $5 per sq. foot vary that seem like pure stone," says Petrie. He recommends bigger tile sizes to attenuate grout strains, easing the maintenance. Which may imply 18-by-18-inch tile on the floors and 12-by-12-inch on some or the entire walls, maybe transitioning to 6-by-6 tiles on the diagonal with a glass mosaic transition strip.
Counters: If you're planning on having new counters put in, have that achieved AFTER the reface, however BEFORE you put on the doors and drawer fronts. You don't want to be spilling glues, etc throughout your new cabinets and faces. Plus, the process of installing heavy granite could result in dings in your new doors. Go away 'em within the bins till the counters are on. Counters usually take a couple of week to complete. Until they set the tops, much of your work will likely be on maintain, so use the time to finish your portray, trim work, etc.
Take into account refinishing an outdated, ugly bathtub as a substitute of changing it. You possibly can have the look of a model new tub by profiting from the newest merchandise from tub refinishing firms. It's also potential to refinish lavatory tile with out totally replacing it. It isn't vital to interchange your toilet tiles unless the wall underneath has sustained water damage.
While remodeling an current lavatory is on the minds of many, loads of homeowners are considering including a whole new lavatory or enlarging a half rest room. Patrons usually want no less than two full loos in a 3-bedroom house, and since a variety of properties function a mere one-and-a-half loos, sellers are seeing the benefit of making their house that rather more appealing to potential patrons while still incorporating components that they personally like.

Review: The Norths Meet Murder by Frances and Richard Lockridge April 1, 2016Posted by sjroby in Book reviews.
Tags: Frances and Richard Lockridge, Mr and Mrs North
Open Road Media is a publisher specializing in ebooks, bringing a lot of old classics and newer works into the digital age. They also make some of their books available through Netgalley, which is where I got this as a free ebook in exchange for a review.
The Norths Meet Murder is the first in a series of 26 mystery novels featuring a married couple who get caught up in murder along with a New York police detective lieutenant. Though not terribly well known now, in their time they were popular enough to be adapted for Broadway, film, radio, and TV.
Though I've been a mystery/crime fiction fan for decades, this is my first trip into the world of Mr and Mrs North. And it wasn't entirely what I expected. I thought it would be a bit closer in style to the Thin Man movies based on Dashiell Hammett's novel, and it only had a hint of that — and it's certainly a fair distance removed from Craig Rice's screwball mysteries featuring Mr and Mrs Justus and their friend John J Malone.
Mr and Mrs North are interesting characters with a line in banter and a taste for cocktails, but they're guest stars in this book, which is much more about Detective Lieutenant Weigand, an equally interesting but more serious cop character, and Detective Mullins, Weigand's hard-done-by assistant. Weigand is the primary viewpoint character.
As for the story — it's a classic police detective mystery. It is neither noir nor hardboiled. It is, however, very much about New York City in 1940, with plenty of telling details. There's no sex but there are certainly references that would be toned down for a 1940 movie. People tend to be pretty blase about extramarital affairs, and one key character reads as gay. The writers seem to be fairly openminded about different racial and ethnic groups, if still inclined to some stereotyping.
Overall, it's a solid, old-fashioned mystery. I'll probably try at least a couple more to see if the Norths become more prominent in the series named after them, and, assuming they do, to see how that changes the dynamic and the degree of humour in the books.
No comments yet — be the first.

Chelsea reveal payouts for Mourinho & Grant
LONDON - Chelsea paid 23.1 million pounds ($33.38 million) in compensation to former managers Jose Mourinho and Avram Grant along with five of their coaching staff, the Premier League club said on Friday.
The club released its results on Friday which showed reduced losses of 65.7 million pounds for the year ending June 2008. The club reported losses of 74.8 million in the previous year.
"The results include exceptional items of 23.1 million pounds related to compensation payments to two first team managers and five coaching staff," the report on the club's website said.
The figure does not include the compensation due to Luiz Felipe Scolari, who was sacked on Monday after only seven months in charge after replacing Grant.
Russia national coach Guus Hiddink will take over next week as Chelsea manager until the end of the season.
The club also said that half of its interest-free loans have been converted into shares, underlining Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich's attachment to Stanford Bridge.
"There should be no doubt as to the owner's commitment to the club and the stability of company's funding structure," Chelsea chairmen Bruce Buck said in a statement.
Buck also defused any doubts over the scale of the club's debt exposure, saying that it "has been misrepresented. Chelsea has no external debt."
Since Abramovich's multimillion takeover in 2003, Chelsea have won two Premier League titles, one FA Cup and two League Cups.
The group's turnover, which increased by 11.9 percent to 213.1 million pounds, was boosted from finishing runners-up to Manchester United in both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League last season.
Wages and salaries went up to 148.5 million pounds from 132.8 million, according to the results.
The club aims to fund any squad restructuring in the off season by selling players.
"We have consistently reduced our net transfer spend over the last five years and will attempt to continue this trend," said Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon.

1-Tell the readers a little about yourself.
I'm a retired university professor. live on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, Canada, and I spend my winters on a small Dutch island in the Caribbean. I run a B&B in the former each summer. In the winter, I swim and read and write.
2-As an author, do you take time to read? If so, what do you like to read and who is/are your favorite author/s?
I read every day. Generally at bedtime. I love Donna Leon's series of books placed in Venice, featuring an Italian detective named Brunetti. I feel that I know the people in her books as well as my family and friends. She makes Venice come alive to her readers. And l love the books of Michael Dibdin and Andrea Camilleri. The latter two are detective story writers whose books are placed in Italy.
I also read every Nora Roberts.
3-How do you stay motivated when the Muse is uncooperative?
I'm not convinced there is a muse. I just keep plugging away. I think it's mostly work ethic. I'm not happy unless I'm working, and my favorite work is writing.
4-If you could go anywhere in the world on a romantic getaway, what would you do and where would you go?
I am happiest at sea. I think a fairly large sailboat, with a crew to take care of the actual sailing and a cook in the galley, many days out of sight of land would be my destination of choice. My idea of a romantic getaway. I'd want my sailboat to follow the trade winds so we'd be in a warm climate all the way, from—perhaps Lisbon, to Barbados.
5-What is the hardest thing for you to write?
The first sentence of any book.
6-If you could live the life of one of your characters who would you be?
I love Ian McQuaid in The Memory of Roses. I'm not sure I'd want to live his life. It wasn't a happy one. But he, more than any of my other characters, knew the value of true love. His story touched me in a way no other of my characters has.
I guess I don't really want to be any of them though. I like being me.
7-The tag line on my blog is 'Indulge Your Inner Romantic.' What do you do to indulge?
Travel. I love to travel. I'm a travel junkie. Greece, Italy, France. The Caribbean Islands. Australia. I love being in places where the people have different perspectives, where the food is more interesting, where the wine flows.
since. After many years producing non-fiction professional books in her field, Blair decided to
exercise her rich imagination and write novels of mystery and romance set in places she knows and loves, peopled with characters drawn from her experiences in those locales.
One of her favorite places in the world is Greece, the setting for 'The Memory of Roses', Blair McDowell's latest novel. While in Greece Blair was inspired by the ancient culture, friendly people and the picturesque settings, and the plot for the 'Memory of Roses' was born.
Blair has a home on a remote island in the Caribbean where the local lore of the 'Jumbie' ('the dead who walk') formed the basis for her novel of that name.
The setting for Blair McDowell's book, 'Sonata', is the spectacular city of Vancouver with its
vibrant multicultural population and its rich musical life. In 'Sonata', Blair McDowell's love of
music comes into play, and is intricately woven into this story of mystery and romance.

Vancouver Chapter), and the Romance Writers of America (Women's Fiction).

South Beach Multigrain Wrap (110 calories, 8g fiber)
1/3 cup FUSION HUMMUS--MIDDLE EASTERN
small tomato, chopped
small yellow pepper, chopped
Lightly toast the wrap, then spread with hummus and top with tomato and pepper.
Verdict: Excellent. This "sandwich" was especially good to me today--sweet peppers and tart-sweet tomato, spicy-rich hummus (this one is lowfat), and substantial "bread."
Breakfast--Leftover oatmeal with apples, raisins, cinnamon, and pecans
Lunch--Salad lovingly prepared by my daughter, so it tasted great: spring mix, romaine, matchstick carrots, raisins, dried cranberries, pecans, a bit of feta, and low-cal Italian dressing; TOMATO-PEPPER HUMMUS SANDWICH; navel orange
Snack--Apple with peanut butter (about a tablespoon), half cup of lentils/brown rice/quinoa with pasta sauce
Supper--Yellow squash and zucchini with onions (boiled), two ounces pork loin, kiwi and banana.
Plus, unfortunately, the several chocolate coins I had this afternoon and several bites of the buttered noodles I made the family for supper. I shouldn't have expected that easing out of the holiday treat-mobile would be easy!!!

Showcase: Necron Deathmarks
Commission painting is a fun job as you get to paint a large amount of random models and be your own boss, however one thing that it tough is that you have little time to paint your own models.
I started trying to assemble my own little Necron army earlier this year with the aim that I could start playing 40K. Yes you heard me, I've never really actually played as yet. I have had a few games with my wife, but other than that nothing serious. To put it bluntly, I really want to start gaming on a regular basis. I chose Necrons as I have always liked painting them when I have done so for customers. They are relatively quick to paint and I like the idea of having a Terminator sort of army. Rule wise I have heard they are also quite easy to play. So hopefully when the army is finished I can go and have fun. What do you guys think? Are Necrons a good starter army?

In February 2001, the 10th annual Kentucky Kids Count book was released. The Kentucky Kids Count book collects and analyzes data on the lives of Kentucky's children. Through analysis of the data, Kentucky Kids Count provides a snapshot of the well-being of children in each of the Commonwealth's counties. The good news for Boone County in 2001 was that it was rated second (2nd) among all Kentucky counties, behind only Oldham County, for child well-being. Despite this, it was readily apparent from the reported data that there was room for improvement. For example, in Boone County, too many children were born weighing less than 5.5 pounds and with higher than desired maternal risk indicators.
In response to this data, representatives from seven countywide agencies (Boone County Cooperative Extension District, Boone County Fiscal Court, Boone County Library District, Boone County School District, Boone County Sheriff's Department, Northern Kentucky Independent Health District, and Walton-Verona School District) started meeting once a month to review the findings of the Kids Count book and explore underlying causes of the identified problems. This group became known as the County Needs Assessment (0-18) or CNA (0-18).
Over the course of a year, CNA (0-18) explored many key issues related to child development. A few issues in particular kept coming to the forefront. First, many children enrolling in school in Boone County were not arriving prepared to succeed. Second, although many different agencies offer programming geared to young children, these efforts on occasion lacked focus and coordination. As a result, CNA (0-18) identified the need to specifically target early childhood issues in Boone County. After studying early childhood efforts nationwide, CNA (0-18) identified United Way's Success By 6® initiative as an outstanding model to emulate. First launched in Minneapolis in 1988, Success By 6® is now active in over 330 communities nationwide, including Louisville and Lexington. In partnership with United Way of Greater Cincinnati - Northern Kentucky, work on the Boone County Success By 6® initiative started in September 2002. United Way joined the original seven countywide agencies in this effort. Corporate leaders Bank of Kentucky, Citigroup, Delta Air Lines and Fifth Third Bank of Northern Kentucky and Toyota Motor Manufacturing North America also joined the Boone County Success By 6® partnership.
A Leadership Council was organized with representatives from all of the partners. The Leadership Council meets regularly and is charged with providing an overall vision for improving the lives of Boone County's young children. The Leadership Council adopted a mission statement that they would work to "unite Boone County to ensure all children are healthy, safe, nurtured and prepared to succeed in school".
In June of 2004, the first Executive Director of Boone County Success By 6 was hired.
Current Plan:
Boone County Success By 6® has completed specific and measurable action plans for addressing issues with early literacy, obesity prevention and quality early care. Currently we are working to implement these plans throughout the county. For more information on specific strategies, please contact us.
Boone County Community Early Childhood Council: Boone County Community Early Childhood Council is a partnership with Boone County Success By 6® which is funded through KY Tobacco Settlement dollars used to fund the Kentucky KIDS NOW early childhood initiative. The council works in collaboration with Boone County Success By 6® to deliver trainings to early care and education providers and staff, hosts an early childhood fair each fair which draws about 600 people to learn about community resources for young children and is working to increase public awareness on the importance of choosing quality care.

Earlier this week, Russian hackers Fancy Bears leaked the medical records of several American Olympians, including gymnastics sensation Simone Biles and Serena Williams. The group have sought to expose the widespread (and they would claim unfair) use of TUEs or Therapeutic Use Exemptions, which allow athletes to take substances that would otherwise be banned, in order to treat certain illnesses or conditions. Fancy Bears have also threatened to leak the medical records of several prominent British sportspeople, including cyclists Chris Froome and Bradley Wiggins.
While many sports fans in America expressed outrage at the leak, I believe this is partly a case of cognitive dissonance. The United States like to see themselves as standard bearers for clean sport, while Russia is often cast as the enemy, even though American sprinters like Justin Gatlin, Tim Montgomery and Marion Jones were found to have been doping during their careers. Many fans were unhappy at the recent revelations because they were confronted with the possibility that the anti-doping regulations under which American athletes operate are not as cut and dried as they had previously thought. If Fancy Bears had been an American group publishing the medical files of Russian athletes, many fans who have been up in arms would no doubt be singing a different tune.
This is not to say that any of the athletes mentioned in the leaks have done anything wrong, but the system seems easy to manipulate for those intent on bending the rules. Many athletes are not just known for their sporting prowess, but have entire brands and businesses built on their good name. In order to preserve their reputation, some athletes will go to great lengths to keep their misdemeanours a secret (think Lance Armstrong, another American).
In an article by CNN on the subject, it was noted that exemptions are ''only granted if no unfair advantage is given to the athlete,'' which leads to an important question. If these substances didn't give athletes a boost, why would they be banned?
Much of the motivation for these revelations is political. It is not surprising that the first targets of Fancy Bears were gold medal-winning American Olympians. It could be the case that WADA, the World Anti-Doping Agency, felt that being transparent about TUEs could lead to a loss of trust in elite sport among supporters, even if all the procedures were above board. However, the leaks have left WADA open to the charge that they have turned a blind eye to the issue. As Matt Dickinson points out in The Times, the overall use of TUEs went up by 48 per cent between 2014 and 2015.
While many athletes will understandably be outraged at the actions of Fancy Bears, who have had scant regard for the confidentiality of the medical information, it has opened a thought-provoking debate about the greyest of grey areas in sport. The issue needs to be addressed.
