Though Diamond is captivated by his magical adventures with the North Wind, he is also confused by her behavior. While she does many positive things for people, some of her actions seem terrible. Could it be true that what appears to be harmful—even sinking a ship—is ultimately done for good?

M. Barrie, and L. Frank Baum.
The Arabian Nights: More Marvels And Wonders Of The Thousand And One Nights (The Arabian Nights Series #1)
by Richard Burton

The first volume of the classic collection of Middle Eastern stories, including "Tale of the Three Apples" and "Tale of the Trader and the Jinni."

To be chosen by King Shahriyar as a wife was a death sentence. After a single night of marriage, he executed each of his wives. So when Scheherazade was picked, she knew her time on Earth had reached its end—unless she could hold the king's interest. To that end, each night she spun a new enchanting, erotic, mesmerizing tale, always keeping the king guessing as to its conclusion—and sparing her life for another thousand and one nights.

The first volume of this collection, translated by the renowned British explorer Sir Richard Burton, begins the stories that Scheherazade told . . .

Jack the Ripper?
by Philip Jones
Readers are transported to Victorian London and introduced to Inspector Doyle, a modern-day detective with eternal life, who discovers that he has been wrongly named as 'Jack the Ripper', the Victorian serial killer. Nobody wants that label at any time in history, so with the aid of time travel he returns to the year 1888 in an attempt to clear his name. Another complication for Inspector Doyle is that his modern-day daughter, Flora, who he has left behind to travel back several centuries, is becoming increasingly suspicious of her father's identity. This is after making her way into his Shrewsbury study, that she is forbidden to enter. The only good thing about returning to 1888 is that Inspector Doyle is able to rekindle his relationship with daughter Alice and wife Eleanor, who he had to leave behind all those centuries ago. Alice can then only but marvel at her father's abilities to answer a question that only he knows the answer to, because he has travelled into the future and back. The story references many Victorian objects that have been meticulously researched and then used to tell a story that is only possible through time travel and a rather clever inventor who may or may not be still alive. Many elements of the original Jack the Ripper case are also detailed as are the horrors of Whitechapel. Find out whether Inspector Doyle manages to clear his name by discovering who the real Jack the Ripper is, and expect a twist at the end that involves both daughters and a Victorian book that, unlike the rest of Inspector Doyle's objects, is unable to exist in parallel between the two time zones.

Creation and Chaos in the Primeval Era and the Eschaton: A Religio-Historical Study of Genesis 1 and Revelation 12 (The Biblical Resource Series)
by Hermann Gunkel
Foreword by Peter MachinistHermann Gunkel's groundbreaking Schöpfung und Chaos, originally published in German in 1895, is here translated in its entirety into English for the first time. Even though available only in German, this work by Gunkel has had a profound influence on modern biblical scholarship.Discovering a number of parallels between the biblical creation accounts and a Babylonian creation account, the Enuma Elish, Gunkel argues that ancient Babylonian traditions shaped the Hebrew people's perceptions both of God's creative activity at the beginning of time and of God's re-creative activity at the end of time.Including illuminating introductory pieces by eminent scholar Peter Machinist and by translator K. William Whitney, Gunkel's Creation and Chaos will appeal to serious students and scholars in the area of biblical studies.

Rebel Private: Front and Rear
by William Andrew Fletcher
Rebel Private Front and Rear is a line soldier''s account of the Civil War without heroics. Private Fletcher tells how at Gettysburg he was overcome by a "bad case of cowardly horror" when an order came on the third day to get ready to charge. "I tried to force manhood to the front, but fright would drive it back with a shudder," he confessed. The attack of jitters lasted about fifteen minutes, and then he fell asleep while awaiting the order to advance. But Fletcher could be brave to a fault. He was restless and venturesome and during the lulls between fighting would sometimes ask for permission to go on dangerous scouts into enemy territory. Once, just before Fredericksburg, he slipped out to a haystack in the no-man''s-land near the Rappahannock so that he could watch the Yankees build a bridge. And in his last fight at Bentonville he risked his life on a rash and futile impulse to capture a whole squad of Federals. At Second Manassas, Fletcher was struck by a bullet that grazed his bowels and lodged in his hip. His detailed description of his subsequent sensations and experiences is one of the most interesting portions of his narrative. He begged the surgeons to operate, but when they started cutting he howled so profanely that they threatened to abandon him. His reply was: "It don''t hurt as badly when I am cursing. " Wounded again at Chickamauga, Fletcher was incapacitated for further infantry service and was transferred to Company E, Eighth Texas Cavalry, and served with Terry''s Rangers until the end of the war. In north Georgia he participated in a number of thrilling skirmishes with mounted forces of Sherman''s command, and in one of these encounters he lost his horse. A short time later, in a daring effort to capture a mount from the Yankees, he was taken prisoner. The story of the forming and execution of his plan to escape by jumping from a moving boxcar is full of suspense and excitement. Rebel Private also reveals Fletcher as something of a philosopher. The narrative is sprinkled with dissertations on unexpected subjects, such as God, justice, and war. He reflects on the rightness and the necessity of "foraging," in home as well as enemy territory, but he tells with evident relish how he and his "pard" of the occasion "pressed" whiskey, honey, and chickens. Fletcher set down his experiences some forty years after the close of the Civil War. His story is told with the artlessness of the natural raconteur. Though the style is unpolished, the memoir makes lively reading because of the author''s eye for detail, his straightforward language, and his sense of humor. One of the most frequently cited narratives written by soldiers of Lee''s army, it derives its value as a historical source mainly from Fletcher''s honesty, his close observations, the richness and variety of his experiences, and the sharpness of his memory. Rebel Private Front and Rear is a line soldier''s account of the Civil War without heroics. Private Fletcher tells how at Gettysburg he was overcome by a "bad case of cowardly horror" when an order came on the third day to get ready to charge.

For Free Trade, 1906 (Winston S. Churchill Early Speeches)
by Winston S. Churchill
For Free Trade was a political pamphlet originally published in 1906--and one of Winston Churchill's rarest works. Throughout his career--as both a Conservative and a Liberal--Winston Churchill was a strong supporter of free trade. As a Conservative, this position was sometimes controversial; early in his career, Churchill took a stand in opposing Joseph Chamberlain's proposed government tariffs designed to protect the economic dominance of Britain. This collection contains several speeches Churchill made on the subject of free trade, expressing his views with characteristic oratory brilliance.
Lord Randolph Churchill, 1906 (Lord Randolph Churchill #1)
The first volume of Churchill's two-volume biography of his father was an ambitious project. Lord Randolph Churchill had been a much-maligned character toward the middle and end of his life, and part of the purpose of this biography was to lift the haze of scandal surrounding his name. This first volume deals with early events in Lord Randolph Churchill's life, including his upbringing, his education, and his quarrel with the Prince of Wales over a woman being courted by his brother. This episode resulted in a temporary exile from society that would serve as a prequel to Randolph's later disgrace. While Churchill is clearly a supporter of his father's, he is not afraid to be honest about the mistakes and failures of his career and personal life.
Dee Brown on the Civil War: Grierson's Raid, The Bold Cavaliers, and The Galvanized Yankees
by Dee Brown
Three true tales of Civil War combat, as recounted by a #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. The acclaimed historian of the American West turns his attention to the country's bloody civil conflict, chronicling the exploits of extraordinary soldiers who served in unexpected ways at a pivotal moment in the nation's history. Grierson's Raid: The definitive work on one of the most astonishing missions of the Civil War's early days. For two weeks in the spring of 1862, Col. Benjamin Grierson, a former music teacher, led 1,700 Union cavalry troops on a raid from Tennessee to Louisiana. The improbably successful mission diverted Confederate attention from Grant's crossing of the Mississippi and set the stage for the Siege of Vicksburg. General Sherman called it "the most brilliant expedition of the war." The Bold Cavaliers: In 1861, Brig. Gen. John Hunt Morgan and his brother-in-law Basil Duke put together a group of formidable horsemen, and set to violent work. Morgan's Raiders began in their home state, staging attacks, recruiting new soldiers, and intercepting Union telegraphs. Most were imprisoned after unsuccessful incursions into Ohio and Indiana years later, but some Raiders would escape, regroup, and fight again in different conflicts. "Accurate and frequently exciting" (Kirkus Reviews). The Galvanized Yankees: The little-known and awe-inspiring true story of a group of captured Confederate soldiers who chose to serve in the Union Army rather than endure the grim conditions of prisoner of war camps. "An accurate, interesting, and sometimes thrilling account of an unusual group of men who rendered a valuable service to the nation in a time of great need" (The New York Times Book Review).
The Master of Mysteries: Being An Account Of The Problems Solved By Astro, Seer Of Secrets, And His Love Affair With Valeska Wynne, His Assistant (classic Reprint) (Library of Congress Crime Classics)
by Gelett Burgess
"In this exemplary Library of Congress Crime Classics reissue...those seeking quality Sherlock Holmes pastiches in a humorous vein will be well rewarded."— Publishers Weekly, Starred ReviewPacked with two dozen stories, The Master of Mysteries offers a twentieth-century, mystical twist on the classic consulting detective genre made popular by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. With Astro, the self-proclaimed "seer of secrets," author Gelett Burgess gives us a detective just as observant and brilliant as Sherlock Holmes—but with feelings.Astro, the Seer of Secrets, and his lovely assistant, Valeska, sound more like a magic act than a private detection team. Astro hides his powers of observation and reasoning beneath a turban and a cape, pretending to read palms and consult crystals while in fact keenly observing details that most people—police included—miss. Valeska, his beautiful blonde protégé, assists Astro with his investigations, all the while honing her own skills.Called upon by believers and skeptics both, they adeptly recover what is missing—a rare Shakespeare folio, a missing husband, a kidnapped child—while also solving actual murders. But it is their burgeoning romance, and their mutual zeal to work pro bono where matters of the heart are at stake, that set this crime-solving duo apart.

by Cordy Abbott
Art, murder, and a secret dating back centuries collide in Cordy Abbott&'s delightful cozy mystery series debut, perfect for fans of Jane K. Cleland.Roberto Fratelli, proprietor of the antiques store Waited4You, is the meanest man in Marthasville, Virginia. So when he puts the business up for sale, the other merchants in town are overjoyed.

Police question Ella Coleman, Roberto&'s ex-wife, and discover that her current husband supplied Roberto with oh-so-faux Victorian furniture. Did the two cheat the wrong customer?

Elegías de Duino, seguido de cartas y poemas inéditos: Edición especial del centenario
by Rainer Maria Rilke
100 AÑOS DE UN CLÁSICO La edición definitiva de la obra maestra de Rilke, en una nueva traducción que incluye cartas y poemas inéditos «De vez en cuando ocurre el milagro: el escritor delicado, dubitativo y con tendencia ansiosa se retira, y a través de él resuena la música del universo: como la base de una fuente, hace tanto de oído como de instrumento».Hermann Hesse En 1923 vieron la luz las Elegías de Duino, uno de los ciclos poéticos más influyentes del siglo XX. Rainer Maria Rilke había empezado a escribirlo diez años antes, una década en la que el mundo cambió de forma vertiginosa. Las elegías dan vueltas a todo lo que estaba desapareciendo en un entorno cada vez más tecnificado: el sentido de la trascendencia, el amor más profundo y radical, la condición efímera del ser humano. Este volumen incluye, además de una nueva traducción a cargo de Adan Kovacsics y Andreu Jaume, los poemas que Rilke escribió en aquella época sobre la misma temática y una selección de cartas sobre la gestación de la obra. Todo esto la convierte en la edición más completa, ambiciosa y rigurosa que se ha hecho en castellano de este clásico de las letras europeas. La crítica ha dicho:«El último gran lírico europeo de la edad clásica».Félix de Azúa «Este gran lírico no ha hecho más que llevar a la perfección el poema alemán por primera vez; no fue una cumbre de esta época, fue una de esas alturas en las que el destino del espíritu hace pie para pasar sobre las épocas [...]. Su filiación es la de los siglos de la literatura alemana, no la de la actualidad».Robert Musil «Las Elegías de Duino constituyen el último residuo de la religiosidad, la última forma literaria de la certificación de lo religioso».Hannah Arendt «Aún no estamos preparados para interpretar las Elegías y los Sonetos de Rilke».Martin Heidegger «Hay una espera silenciosa de la palabra inspirada. Así, Rilke nos hace ver los largos momentos de recogimiento y de elocuencia difusa y, si se quiere, desatinada que culminaron después en las grandes Elegías».Álvaro Pombo «Leer las Elegías de Duino es sentir que el pensamiento se ha hecho rezo; las palabras, música; el poeta y el lector, una sola persona».Michael Dirda, The Washington Post «Si la palabra "magia" significa algo, he de decir que todo Rilke, su voz, su apariencia, sus modales, todo sobre él daba la impresión de una presencia mágica. Rilke le otorgaba a cada palabra, una vez pronunciada, el poder de un encantamiento».Paul Valéry «Rilke es el primer poeta desde el siglo XVII en encontrar una solución fresca».W. H. Auden
An American Tragedy (Signet Classics Ser.)
by Theodore Dreiser

Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy (1925) is nothing less than what the title holds it to be; it is the story of a weak-willed young man who is both villain and victim (the victim of a valueless, materialistic society) and someone who ultimately destroys himself.
Dreiser modeled the story of Clyde Griffiths on a real-life murder that took place in 1906; a young social climber of considerable charm murdered his pregnant girlfriend to get her out of the way so that he could instead play to the affections of a rich girl who had begun to notice him.
But An American Tragedy is more than simply a powerful murder story.
Dreiser pours his own dark yearnings into his character, Clyde Griffiths, as he details the young man's course through his ambitions of wealth, power, and satisfaction.
The Indiana-born Dreiser (1871-1945) has never cut a dashing or romantic swath through American literature.
He has no Pulitzer or Nobel Prize to signify his importance. Yet he remains for myriad reasons: his novels are often larger than life, rugged, and defy the norms of conventional morality and organized religion.
They are unapologetic in their sexual candor--in fact, outrightly frank--and challenge even modern readers.
The brooding force of Dreiser's writing casts a dark shadow across American letters.
Here in An American Tragedy, Dreiser shows us the flip side of The American Dream in a gathering storm that echoes with all of the power and force of Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment.
Inspired by the writings of Balzac and the ideas of Spenser and Freud, Dreiser went on to become one of America's best naturalist writers.
An American Tragedy is testimony to the strength of Dreiser's work: it retains all of its original intensity and force.
Aspects of the Novel (The\abinger Edition Of E. M. Forster Ser.)
by E. M. Forster
Sponsored by Trinity College of the University of Cambridge, The Clark Lectures have a long and distinguished history and have featured remarks by some of England's most important literary minds: Leslie Stephen, T. S. Eliot, F. R. Leavis, William Epsom, and I. A. Richards. All have given celebrated and widely influential talks as featured keynote speakers. An important milestone came in 1927 when, for the first time, a novelist was invited to speak: E.M. Forster had recently published his masterpiece, A Passage to India, and rose to the occasion, delivering eight spirited and penetrating lectures on the novel. The decision to accept the lectureship was a difficult one for Forster. He had deeply ambivalent feelings about the use of criticism. Although suspecting that criticism was somewhat antithetical to creation, and upset by the thought that time spent on the lectures took away from his own work, Forster accepted. His talks were witty and informal, and consisted of sharp penetrating bursts of insight rather than overly-methodical analysis. In short, they were a great success. Gathered and published later as Aspects of the Novel, the ideas articulated in his lectures would gain widespread recognition and currency in twentieth century criticism. Of all of the insights contained within Aspects of the Novel, none has been more influential or widely discussed than Forster's discussion of "flat" and "round" characters. So familiar by now as to seem commonplace, Forster's distinction is meant to categorize the different qualities of characters in literature and examine the purposes to which they are put. Still, it would be wrong to reduce this book to its most famous line of argument and enquiry. Aspects of the Novel also discusses the difference between story and plot, the characteristics of prophetic fiction, and narrative chronology. Throughout, Forster draws on his extensive readings in English, French, and Russian literature, and discusses his ideas in reference to such figures as Joyce, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, James, Sterne, Defoe, and Proust.

Bug in iOS and OSX Allows Writing of Arbitrary Files Via AirDrop
Author: Dennis Fisher
There is a major vulnerability in a library in iOS that allows an attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on a target device and, when used in conjunction with other techniques, install a signed app that the device will trust without prompting the user with a warning dialog.
The vulnerability lies in a library in both iOS and OS X, and Mark Dowd, the security researcher who discovered it, said he's been able to exploit the flaw over AirDrop, the feature in OS X and iOS that enables users to send files directly to other devices. If a user has AirDrop set to allow connections from anyone—not just her contacts—an attacker could exploit the vulnerability on a default locked iOS device.
In fact, an attacker can exploit the vulnerability even if the victim doesn't agree to accept the file sent over AirDrop.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3JODDmk2Hs&w=420&h=315]
Dowd, founder and director of Azimuth Security, was able to use the vulnerability, along with some other tactics to bypass the code-signing protections on iOS. To do this, he used his own Apple enterprise certificate to create a profile for his test app that allowed the app to run on any device. Under normal circumstances, when the app is first installed on a new device, the device would throw up a dialog asking the user if she trusts the app. However, Dowd is able to suppress this prompt by installing an enterprise provisioning profile on the device and marking it as trusted.
Dowd reported the vulnerability to Apple, which released a mitigation, but not a full patch, for it in iOS 9, which was released Wednesday. He said that while the user will see a notification when she receives a malicious package via AirDrop, it doesn't matter whether she accepts or denies the AirDrop request.
"When you send a package via AirDrop, it comes up with a notification on the target phone asking the user if they want to accept the package. The user has to unlock the phone to accept or decline it. It does NOT matter whether they accept it or not to trigger this bug – the exploit has already happened by the time the notification is sent to the user," Dowd said via email.
The vulnerability allows the attacker to execute a directory traversal attack, enabling him to write files to any location he chooses on the file system. The vulnerable library is installed by default in both iOS and OS X, and it's not clear when Apple will have a full patch available for the flaw.
Unlike many other bugs in iOS and OS X, the vulnerability Dowd discovered does not rely on memory corruption in order to work and he said it has been completely reliable in practice.

World Cup Disappointments
Posted by Josh Sippie on Jun 3, 2018 22:04
During the World Cup qualifying stage, the international soccer community was treated to plenty of entertaining and shocking moments. Most teams performed at or above expectations, but a few others underperformed on the pitch, and will not be making the trek to Russia in 2018. Whether your team qualified for the World Cup or not, you can still visit online sportsbooks like sport.netbet.co.uk to bet on the World Cup games. Having money on the outcome of a game makes a soccer match much more exciting and this World Cup promises to be one of the most thrilling ever.
Let's take a closer look at the teams who disappointed their fans.
The Stars and Stripes lost their first two matches in the qualifying round, and with that, their confidence in manager Jurgen Klinsmann waned. With eight games left to play, the U.S. chose a "safe" manager in Bruce Arena to replace Klinsmann, with the understanding that his first task was to qualify for the World Cup in 2018. After almost a year at the helm and a 3-3-2 record, the U.S. was knocked out of World Cup competition, with the final game ending in a 2-1 loss at the hands of last-place Trinidad and Tobago.
After qualifying for every World Cup competition in the past three decades, Arena commented that "there's nothing wrong with what we're doing." The United States Soccer Federation might disagree with that statement, however. Arena's contract runs out next July, but many analysts expect Arena will be terminated well before that time. In fact, USSF president Sunil Gulati is up for re-election next February, and he is no longer running unopposed for the position. Look for a shake-up of management and the players' roster to occur shortly after the next USSF meeting.
Because let's face it, their failure to qualify — given the lack of talent in CONCACAF — was both shocking and embarrassing.
After a lackluster run of play in the qualifiers, this will be the first time since 1980 that the Orangemen will miss two consecutive major competitions (Euro 2016, World Cup).
Unhappy with previous manager Danny Blind at the start of qualifying round, the team replaced him in March by 69-year-old Dick Advocaat, who had coached the Dutch team three times previously, and was seen more of a caretaker than anything. Recent results have made him appear as more of an undertaker, with the Orangemen finishing with a 6-3-1 record, and watching Sweden advance, rather than them.
With the team having been captained by veteran Arjen Robben, one would think the Dutch FA has buyers' remorse in appointing Advocaat to the managerial post. After failing to qualify for the past two major tournaments, Robben announced his retirement from international play for the Dutch on Tuesday. With poor management at the top and some players who underperformed against the likes of Bulgaria, Belarus and Luxembourg, Robben scored both goals in his final match against Sweden, but clearly saw the writing on the wall. From the manager to the players, this is a team in need of an extreme makeover.
For South American soccer teams that are in CONMEBOL, competition is always fierce. However, few expected Chile to miss a trip to the World Cup. After finishing first in the Copa America Centenario during the past two years, La Roja was expected to finish group play in the top half of the standings. Captained by veteran goalkeeper Claudio Bravo and led up front by Alexis Sanchez, Chile's defense is among the best in South America. Their underperformance is a bit surprising, given their recent successes in tournaments against the same teams.
With the squad largely intact, it's difficult to pin the loss on any one aspect. Roja manager Juan Antonio Pizzi abruptly resigned following the loss in Brazil on Tuesday, but signs of the team underperforming began in August, which began with a surprise 3-0 loss at home to Paraguay, followed by a 1-0 loss against last-place Bolivia in La Paz. Signs of team dissent also surfaced when Claudio Bravo's wife appeared to call out some of her husband's teammates. She took to Instagram and said the following in a recent post:
"When one wears the [national team] jersey it has to be with professionalism," among other not-safe-for-work things. Bravo, at age 34, is now weighing whether or not to retire from international play.
As for Chile — a veteran team that's not getting any younger — roster changes appear to be on the horizon.

Researchers Unlock New Answers to the Hubble Constant Debate
Zayan Guedim Feb 12, 2019 at 8:15 am GMT
Feb 12, 2019 at 8:15 am GMT
The Hubble Constant could be one of the keys to understanding the origins and future of our Universe, if only researchers could definitively agree on its measurement. | Zakharchuk / Shutterstock.com
No one knows for sure what came before the Big Bang.
For some cosmologists, it is futile to try to describe the pre-Big Bang, simply because we lack any observational evidence.
What researchers are pretty sure about it is that the Big Bang actually took place. After that, what matters most to them is the consequent course of events.
According to physics, the Universe started with the singularity.
Since the 1920s, thanks to the work of Edwin Hubble and to Einstein's dismay, we know that the Universe is expanding.
By and large, the scientific community can agree on the phenomenon of the expanding universe. However, they can't come to terms as to its rate.
The Hubble Constant Isn't That Constant
Astronomers aren't quite sure about the shape and size of the Observable Universe or which fate would eventually befall it.
They know space is expanding and there is a value, known as the Hubble Constant, to measure the rate of this expansion.
The main mission of the Hubble Space Telescope was to get accurate measurements of this expansion rate.
Edwin Hubble's initial calculations of his Constant came to approximately 500 km per second per megaparsec.
Hubble's own value is way off of the mark because of the data quantity and quality he had access to.
But even with state-of-the-art observatories and supercomputers, scientists are still divided between two canon approaches to calculate the expansion rate.
Read More: Hubble Measurement Confirms Discrepancy in Universe's Expansion Rate
There's the "early relics" and the "ladder" methods, and they give diverging readings.
The early relics group of astronomers, based on observations of the Early Universe, get a value of 67 km/s/Mpc.
The ladder group use nearby objects as, you guessed it, a ladder to extrapolate, and they get a result of 73 km/s/Mpc.
This means that if we consider space in chunks that are 3.26 million light-years across, or 1 megaparsec, they're racing away at 67 or 73 kilometer per second from each other.
The discrepancy between the two mean values may look negligible to us.
It is however giving cosmologists a headache.
The Third Method: Double Takes of Quasars for a Clearer Picture
Multiple checks, using the earliest signals of the Universe or nearby cosmological bodies, keep yielding the same results.
And in both camps, they know there are no systematic errors in their methods.
Now, as part of the international H0liCOW collaboration, a team led by astronomers at UCLA set out to settle the expansion rate argument.
They came up with a whole new method to measure the Hubble Constant based on the split images of quasars.
Quasar, or "quasi-stellar radio source", is an extremely bright star-like celestial body fueled by supermassive black holes.
The team relied on quasars "whose light has been bent by the gravity of an intervening galaxy, which produces two side-by-side images of the quasar on the sky."
For a quasar known as SDSS J1206+4332, researchers used data from the Hubble Space Telescope, the Gemini Observatory, the COSMOGRAIL network, and the W.M. Keck Observatory.
Read More: Chandra X-Ray Observatory Malfunction Adds to NASA Woes
They measured the time delay between images of this quasar they took on a daily basis over several years.
The results of the analysis gave the Hubble Constant a value of about 72.5 km/s/Mpc, more in line with the distance ladder approach that relies on supernovas.
However, this estimate is 8 percent higher than the relics method's value derived using the cosmic microwave background signals from the Early Universe.
"If there is an actual difference between those values, it means the universe is a little more complicated," said UCLA's Tommaso Treu, lead author of the paper.
Treu also doesn't exclude the possibility that one value or all three are wrong.
This isn't the end of the story, though.
Researchers want to refine their measurements and all they need is more doubly imaged quasars.
They also want to go further and focus on 40 quadruply imaged quasars as they yield even more precise measurements than the doubly imaged ones.

Store Street
Informed by the historic uses and character of two key buildings, a new boutique hotel and a modernised office are proposed for Store Street's second life.
Clapham One
Clapham One has been able to provide three significant new public facilities – a library, leisure centre and health centre – all funded by the new homes within the development and at no cost to the local council.
Clapham One came about through a public-private partnership between the London Borough of Lambeth, which owned the land, and Cathedral Group (now called U+I) and United House. We were challenged to create a mixed-use building for the library, a large primary care centre, leisure centre, and 199 new homes, including affordable housing in partnership with Notting Hill Housing Group. The whole scheme is a landmark £80m mixed-use regeneration scheme that has transformed leisure services across two sites in Clapham town centre.
U+I Group plc
London Borough of Lambeth
Urban Designer and Architect
We provided the masterplan for the whole development, as well as architecture, interior design and landscape architecture for the Library Building (which includes the health centre and 136 homes) and the public spaces that surround it. The library itself is the scheme's flagship element and opened to much fanfare in 2012 – a year when many libraries were closing their doors rather than opening them.
The 12-storey building is formed of a series of curved, white masonry volumes that are articulated to break down the overall mass and soften their visual impact on the high street, while also providing an important marker for the community services within the building. The library and health centre sit at street level, with the homes sitting discreetly above and the public realm outside serving as a natural extension to the public spaces within. This was the key challenge – turning a disparate set of uses into a coherent regenerative scheme.
The library's 12,000 books are arranged around a playful spiral ramp that defines the space and looks down onto the open-plan children's library and up to the reading-room level. Every space leads seamlessly into another.
For the children's area – the centrepiece of the library – we've designed bespoke demountable furniture which rolls away so that the space easily transitions into a flexible performance venue.
Clapham One has been able to provide three significant new public facilities – a library, leisure centre and health centre – all funded by the new homes within the development and at no cost to the local council. This approach of cross-subsidising the delivery of community facilities through a public-private partnership has proved its worth to everyone involved, and the library has benefited enormously from being located in such a distinctive and high-profile building – membership trebled within three months of opening.

The Downtown Kingsport Academic Village is a collaborative higher education campus anchored by East Tennessee State University and Northeast State Community College, as well as other institutional partners. TSW prepared the Downtown Kingsport Master Plan and worked with ETSU and NSCC to prepare a concurrent master plan update for the Academic Village.
TSW compiled a full range of data to ensure a robust foundation for the plan. This included enrollment data, faculty and staff counts, course schedules, a space inventory, and parking utilization numbers. TSW also conducted a student survey to learn about students' experience on the downtown campus, their preferences for restaurants and other amenities, and their interest in downtown living.
TSW had previously prepared a master plan for this campus as part of the 2011 NSCC Master Plan. Enrollment has continued to grow, matched with new facilities, including the Regional Center for Advanced Manufacturing Academy, which opened for the Spring 2018 semester.
The 2018 Master Plan effort included updated needs for new facilities, but also looked holistically at the relationship of the campus to downtown, especially considering the large number of non-traditional students. TSW developed enrollment growth projections and associated facility needs, but also looked at needs for nearby amenities, including restaurants, loft housing, events, a proposed public park, bike lanes, and parking facilities.

A Billion + Change has changed our lives. Garden State Woman's experience at the White House has left us inspired and more motivated than ever to grow the services of our Education Foundation. We joined more than 170 leaders in industry, policy and civic engagement that convened at A Billion + Change's national forum in Washington, D.C. to discuss the power of corporate skills-based volunteerism to meet the most pressing challenges of the 21st century. Leaders at the Forum agreed that public-private partnerships, especially those based on harnessing the skills and talents of the private sector in volunteer service, play a critical role in our nation's path to prosperity.
Every day, A Billion + Change pledge companies harness the skills and talents of their people to build the capacity of nonprofit organizations that create empowering opportunities for women and veterans, strengthen our schools and workforce, improve STEM education and tackle global development challenges. Whether it's sitting on a nonprofit board, mentoring at-risk students or lending IT, marketing, financial or strategic consulting services, pledge companies are redefining what it means to give back to communities through skills-based service.
Deloitte, a founding member of the A Billion + Change Leadership Committee, recently announced that its commitment to pro bono services would rise to $110 million by 2015. It has contributed 350 pro bono engagements over the past four years and is now poised to do even more.
IBM is helping cities and communities around the world, from Nairobi and Singapore to Washington, D.C., by leveraging the skills of IBM volunteers to assist with social challenges, including economic development, education and transportation issues. IBM volunteers have provided more than 3.2 million hours of service in more than 5,000 skills-based projects in 2011 alone.
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, meanwhile, is helping to address the school drop-out crisis by engaging and inspiring at-risk middle school students through its "Succeed Through Service" program. The curriculum includes chefs teaching students about healthy eating habits; concierge employees coaching students on the importance of social skills; restaurant employees demonstrating how to correctly use cutlery; and trainers teaching effective collaboration and group presentation skills.
This commitment to skills-based service comes at a critical time of significant need in America's communities, and of increasing demands on nonprofits. While funds for social programs at the federal, state and local levels have dwindled, pro bono and skills-based volunteer programs offer nonprofits an opportunity to achieve more with scarce resources.
A list of pledge companies, and information about how to take the pledge, is available at www.abillionpluschange.org.


December 1984: During the run-up to the release of A Passage to India, one of its supporting cast, Alec Guinness, writes an embarrassed letter of congratulations to director David Lean.
Even before the movie's initial reviews — many of which quickly questioned the strange casting choice of Guinness as the Indian professor Godbole — Guinness had felt uncomfortable in the role, and to some extent it showed on screen. Judging by his letter to Lean, his early critics had only amplified his regret at taking on the role.
Transcript follows. Image courtesy of the British Film Institute, who have a lovely collection of materials relating to David Lean at their website.
I tried telephoning you yesterday evening but you had not yet arrived and as you are probably dead tired I shall leave you in peace. Hence this note.
I think the film is marvellously good and do congratulate you most heartily. It is expansive, handsome, gripping and yet somehow intimate. And the story — which we all know is somewhat complicated — comes over with simplicity. It didn't seem a minute too long.
Also I think it is beautifully acted — with one excruciating exception. Peggy, for my money, gives a truly superb performance and should get a whopping big Oscar. And I thought Victor pulled it off charmingly and splendidly. As did the others. For my own part I'm afraid I thought I was sickeningly awful. I thought it was poor at the time we were doing it but I hadn't realised how wide of the mark I was. I don't in the least blame you, as you were helpful, but I do wish — when I asked Richard, very calmly and unfunnily, in the first week, if you'd all like to get rid of me he had taken me up on it. John Brabourne was right in his original objection. Well, there it is and some of the press have rightly pointed it out. One thing I am now grateful for is the disappearance of the song and dance — at least the agony isn't protracted.
Anyway, that's all fairly minor stuff. The film itself is outstanding and I think it combines, happily, your best work from the Dickens films to Lawrence of Arabia. Clearly it is going to be a huge success.

Illustrated by Anna and Elena Balbusso
This large-format gift edition of one of Shakespeare's best-loved romantic comedies features an exquisite new frontispiece by the Balbusso twins.
Twelfth Night, or What You Will is a comic masterpiece. Shakespeare's most popular comedy is presented in a lavish edition illustrated by the Balbusso twins. Exquisitely bound and sensitively typeset, this edition is a celebration of a timeless work.
In Tudor times, twelfth night was the feast of 'misrule' marking the end of Christmas festivities, where the natural order was often turned topsy-turvy. Shakespeare's plot includes a servant seeking to marry his mistress, women dressed as men and attendant confusions and mistakes – all favourite examples which hark back to the Roman feast of Saturnalia. Shakespeare may well have written the play for a court entertainment performed in 1601 (finding his Duke's name from the Duke Orsini who had visited court that year). Many commentators believe that his portrait of the killjoy Malvolio was intended to poke fun at the Puritans who disapproved of twelfth night festivities – and indeed of the theatre itself.

From the witty banter of Sir Toby and Maria, the wry commentary of Feste and the foolishness of Sir Andrew, to the emotionally charged moment of the discovery of the twins, this is a play whose range and humour have delighted audiences for centuries, and which remains irresistibly fresh today.

Oxford Military College was an all-male private boarding school and military academy in Cowley, Oxford, England, from 1876 to 1896.  The military college opened on 7 September 1876.  Prince George, Duke of Cambridge was the patron of the Oxford Military College.
The military college was declared bankrupt in 1896. The college's  site later housed Morris Motors (1912–25) and the Nuffield Press (1925-1992). The main college building (manor house) was demolished in 1957. The buildings were used by the Nuffield Press until the mid 1990s after which they were converted into residential flats.

Mission
The College provided a four-year college preparatory curriculum: First year (age 13–14); Second year (age 14–15); Third year (age 15–16); Fourth year (age 16–17); Final year (age 17–18). The school drew its cadets from the United Kingdom and the Colonies. Candidates, whether sons of officers or not, were prepared for commissions in the military service, for any profession or business. The senior pupils were enabled to enter the University as unattached students, and to proceed to degrees. It combined classical studies with a military curriculum. The College provided instruction in military riding, infantry drill, lance, sword, carbine drill, swimming and gymnastics.

Personnel
The staff initially consisted of a Head Master, Second Master & Senior Classical Master, 13 Assistant Masters, 2 examiners (classics), a physician & visiting surgeon, organist, an inspector & instructor of gymnastics, and a riding master.

Some of the courses at the college were instructed by current or former officers. Brigade Sergeant-Major Royal Horse Artillery William H. Garlick, for example, was Riding Master at Oxford Military College c. 1883.
In 1894, the staff listed in Whitaker's Almanack consisted of a head master G.B. Grundy, 8 Assistant Masters, and a Secretary to Directors.
William John Locke, the novelist, was a master at the Oxford Military College at Temple Cowley in 1889 and 1890.

Campus
The buildings, which had been used previously by the Cowley Middle Class School, were purchased for the College in July 1876. A 16th-century manor house stood on Oxford Road near the corner with Hollow Way. The campus consisted of school buildings, playing fields, and a central parade square. The college was extended with the addition of an east wing designed by Sir Thomas Graham Jackson.  Albert Parker, 3rd Earl of Morley laid the foundation stone on 21 July 1877.

Council
The Oxford Military College Council consisted of: Lord Wolseley, Lord Wantage, Lord Napier (of Magdala), the Marquis of Hertford, the Marquis of Lorne, General Sir Dighton Probyn, General William McMurdo, Colonel Duncan, Sir Charles Tupper and Sir Saul Samuel, Sir Walter Buller, Sir James Francis Garrick, and Sir Arthur Blyth.

Regulations
Candidates for military commissions were to enter not later than the age of 13 in the UK, or 14 in the colonies. The 13-week training duration consisted of three terms and vacations over a three- to four-year duration.

Tuition and fees
The fee ranged from 90 to 100 guineas a year.

Colonial scholarships
During an address in 1886 to the students of the Oxford Military College, Lord Wolseley expressed regret that there were no students from the Colonies since youth from the Colonies would weld together the empire. Six colonial scholarships were offered subsequently annually, two scholarships in each of the principal colonies. The scholarships of £50 and £25 were awarded for three years depending on residency and satisfactory conduct. To qualify for entry via scholarship, the headmaster of the College set a paper, which was decided by the examiners for general proficiency or excellence in one or more subjects. The scholarships were awarded to boys of good character of 14–16 years of age, whose parents or guardians lived in the Colonies. Owners who held over 20 shares of the college could nominate a student at a lower rate than others.

Prizes
Annual prizes were awarded for French, dictation, mathematics, religious instruction (given by Bishop of Oxford John Fielder Mackarness); history (given by Sir Edmund Lechmere, 3rd Baronet M.P.), German (given by Colonel Moncrieff).
