Moonlight's Silver (e-short story) by Rayne Auster
Moonlight's Silver is a paranormal m/m romance story published by Dreamspinner Press. It was 23 pages long on my Nook. The only format it was available in that could immediately be read on my e-reader was PDF. It was readable, but annoying, so I took a stab at converting the .LIT file to EPUB via Calibre, and it converted beautifully.
Just a warning: A while back, I learned that Dreamspinner Press has published several fanfic works with little more than the character names changed (Dear Author commented on it here), a practice which I find to be completely and utterly repugnant. I now rarely buy anything from them, but I had already purchased quite a few of their titles prior to learning this. Moonlight's Silver was one of them. I'm continuing my practice of reviewing as much of what I read and watch as possible, but if I learn at a later date that a particular work I reviewed is P2P (pull to publish) fanfic, I'll edit my review to include that information at the top so that readers can factor it into their buying decisions. No one on Goodreads has tagged Moonlight's Silver as P2P fanfic, so I'm going to assume that it's an original work.
Ankerite is a half-breed, unable to fully shift into either human or wolf form. While growing up, he was protected by a bodyguard. Now that he's out in the world and on his own, the best he can do is hide the parts of himself that aren't fully human and run away when necessary.
When the story begins, Ankerite is running from a werewolf named Cole. He's saved by Linden, who's not happy about another werewolf hunting someone in his territory. Seeing that Ankerite is wounded, Linden carries him back to his place. His kindness bewilders Ankerite, but what will he do once he finds out that Ankerite isn't the full werewolf he believes him to be?
I bought this a while ago, primarily because of its cover art. This cover art, by the way, has very little to do with the actual story. The character on the cover looks like he's probably a grouchy, broody fighter. Ankerite has his wolfie ears, but that's about where the similarities stop. Ankerite's first response to trouble isn't to fight, because he knows he can't possibly win against a true werewolf, but rather to run or hide. I'm pretty sure Ankerite doesn't even have the character on the cover's facial scar.
In my review for Mary Calmes' Change of Heart, I wrote "On the one hand, I consider this book to be really flawed in a lot of ways. On the other hand, Calmes hit on enough of my favorite romance tropes that I was willing to put up with the flaws." That's pretty much how I feel about this story, too. I've read it maybe three times now. The first time around, I didn't really notice its flaws because I was blinded by the parts of it that appealed to me. The flaws became more obvious after I reread the story. I still enjoyed it, but I'd hesitate to recommend it to other people.
I love reading about romance between an outcast character and a more powerful/popular/accepted character who doesn't care about the outcast character's status. Moonlight's Silver definitely pushed the right buttons with me in that respect. His whole life, Ankerite was considered a freak, unable to shift fully into one form or another. Linden stood up for him and protected him right from the get-go, without even knowing anything about him or why he was running from Cole. He immediately took issue with Cole referring to Ankerite as "it" rather than "he," and he didn't like it when one of his pack members got a little too familiar with Ankerite. I loved that.
Like I said, though, this story definitely has flaws. One of them is that there's not much there – this story felt more like a lead-in to a longer work than a complete and self-contained short story. By the end, readers know very little about any of the characters, except for maybe Ankerite. And the information we're given about Ankerite just brings up more questions. How long has he been on his own? Did anyone in his family ever try to look for him? What about Sam, his bodyguard? Did Sam only take care of him because he was paid to, or did he genuinely like Ankerite? What was Ankerite's life like when he wasn't running from werewolves? Was he friends with any of this coworkers at the bookstore he worked at, or did he just hide at home whenever he wasn't working? None of these questions are answered, and, as far as I can tell, Auster has no other stories, novellas, or books set in this world that could help fill in the blanks.
The world-building, what there was of it, wasn't very good. There were werewolves, they had territories that didn't necessarily encompass whole cities, and half-werewolf children couldn't fully shift into either human or wolf form and were generally looked down upon by other werewolves. Linden's pack seemed to be some kind of more-accepting offshoot. That's pretty much it. I couldn't even really say how homosexuality was viewed among the werewolves in this world, because, on the one hand, it seemed to be accepted without comment (Ron and Darren were more amused by Linden's protectiveness of Ankerite than anything) and, on the other hand, there was this thought Ankerite had when Linden kissed him:
"This was wrong but, at the same time, oh so right. Ankerite knew logically that they shouldn't be doing this, but he no longer cared." (21)
Was he thinking this because they were both guys? Because he was a half-werewolf and Linden was a full werewolf? I have no idea. Even during my first and most generous read, those two sentences confused me. This wasn't the only thing in the story that didn't quite make sense - how many modern-day people would be "crying for a stake" (17) after seeing Ankerite's ears? More likely, they'd initially think he was a cosplayer of something.
After my first read, I decided I enjoyed this story enough that I wanted to try one of Auster's longer works, so I bought Gatekeeper. Unfortunately, the flaws I was able to ignore in a shorter work like Moonlight's Silver became unbearable in Gatekeeper, and I have yet to finish that one.
Read-alikes:
Change of Heart (e-book) by Mary Calmes - This hit some of the same buttons for me that Moonlight's Silver did: main character who's used to being an outcast, another character who falls for him and will stand by him no matter what. This one is also paranormal m/m romance featuring shapeshifters and the soulmate trope. I've written about it.
On the Prowl (anthology), recommended primarily for the novella "Alpha and Omega" by Patricia Briggs - The first full book in Briggs' Alpha and Omega series is actually Cry Wolf, but lovers of the soulmate trope in particular should really, really start with the novella. If you start with the first full book you'll miss out on some of Anna and Charles' story - the novella shows how they met, and the book continues where the novella left off. Anna is an Omega werewolf, a werewolf whose mere presence tends to have a calming influence on other werewolves. Unfortunately, her pack is really messed up, and when Charles first meets her she is skittish and wary from years of abuse. Charles is the son of the guy who is basically the leader of all the werewolves, as well as his designated hitman, and he is not amused by the treatment Anna has suffered. As an added bonus, Briggs' Alpha and Omega series is overall better-written than Moonlight's Silver.
Duck! (e-book) by Kim Dare - A paranormal m/m romance that features BDSM and avian shifters. Those who'd like another mistreated protagonist who is then cared for by his rescuer might want to give this a try. I've written about it.

Contemporary Ukrainian War Poetry
Wednesday, November 27, 2019, 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
Max Rosochinsky
The presentation examines the poetry that emerged from the occupied Donbas over the past five years. While some of the poets fled the region and resettled in Ukraine or in Russia, others stayed behind, enduring food and electricity shortages, routine shelling, and living under the threat of physical violence. Of these, some went underground, while others became vocal representatives of their new perceived body politic. How do different decisions and life-choices shape the narrative-building and meaning-making strategies of these artists? What traditions do the artists evoke in their poems, and what recognizable tropes do they rely on? Whose perspectives do they take up, and what rhetorical, political, or artistic goals do their choices serve? Drawing mostly on self-published materials posted to social media platforms and blogs, the presentation offers a glimpse into the new Donbas poetry and its covert and overt ideals of documenting, unmuting, memory-making, historicizing, and transcending while also calling these very ideals into question

Mine thinks that since I am free, she has this really interesting story she wants to share with me.
If I am visiting, clearly I want to spend All The Time talking to one or the other of my parents (or being talked at).
I'm an intravert who lives alone. They often complain my visits aren't long enough. Guys, I love you, but I can't be doing with the constant socialising!


In the past, you pretty much had to make the decision do I make my life public? or do I just shut out everyone I don't actually know? Most people elected to keep their friend list to those individuals that were close friends and thus, they were not able to enjoy some of the business benefits of growing your network and personally branding yourself.
When you post an update, you'll see a drop-down next to the 'post' button. Use this to select if you want your post seen by everyone or just your friends. When used in conjunction with the measures below, this option is very powerful and liberating, just be sure to check it when you post to make sure posts are going where you want them to go.
Friend lists are a very powerful, and hugely underutilized, Facebook tool. Lists give you the ability to organize your friends in a number of different ways by creating and customizing whatever list you'd like. I have been using two pre-built lists religiously since I started opening up my friend list- Restricted and Close Friends.
The Restricted list basically makes that friend a subscriber. Friends on your Restricted list only see your public posts and activity (see #1). Whenever I add someone I don't know as a friend, they immediately are added to my restricted list as well. It's nothing personal. I just don't really know them yet.
Facebook's privacy settings are your friends. Use them! The setting I've customized is 'Who can see posts by others in your timeline,' which is found under 'How you connect.' I never know what personal information my friends and family might post about me or tag me in, so I like to keep this feature somewhat private to be safe.
Are You a Social Media Influencer? In the early days of social media (just a few years ago), the amount of followers, friends or fans someone had was the only way to measure their...influence over their social media network. Over time, those who were not inclined to embrace the 'social' part of social media found ways to boost...their counts without really putting in the hard work that it takes to grow a loyal and attentive following. The practice of 'hoarding' or...'collecting' quickly made follower counts relatively meaningless. So the question became- How do you truly measure your social media influence?
Facebook Tip – Stop Tagging Me Bro! Note: This is the first in a series of quick Facebook tips for brands that will be posted periodically. Facebook tagging is a great way to...expand your network. You can tag friends and other pages in your status updates, pictures, notes, videos, etc. I highly recommend a healthy amount of...tagging because your post will almost always appear on the tagged entity's wall, thus giving your brand exposure to their friends, likers, etc. That...all being said, here is a bit of Facebook etiquette that you should follow- only tag someone or something if they actually are mentioned or somehow...related to your post. Don't be a Gratuitous Tagger! Gratuitous Tagger: A person that identifies other people and companies...he/she is linked to that have a strong following and then tags them in every post in hopes that by getting on the tagee's wall, the tagger will...attract more followers. This practice will do nothing more than annoy someone that you have already identified as influential. It may even put...them on the offensive and turn them off of your brand if you do it enough. Does that seem like a good marketing strategy to you? Keep tagging as much...as possible and growing your Facebook presence, but make sure you do it properly. Nobody likes a Gratuitous Facebook Tagger!


Think of it as being like a length of elastic that gets stretched and stretched, often to breaking point, by the excitements of the season. However good the link between dog and handler - and there is no more critical element than steadiness - work in the field puts it under strain. And even the most trustworthy dogs can come to feel that they know best when a bird has been hit: and once they start managing themselves you no longer have an agreeable shooting companion.To have a dog that does not need to be tethered in any way, and yet does not retrieve or hunt until bidden should be every Gun's ambition. And that's because it's not a wild or fanciful one. There is no mystery to steadiness and, whether you are training a young dog or reminding an older one whose standards have slipped, the strategy is broadly similar and a few key principles will see you home and dry.
All dogs, and especially working bred gundogs perhaps, have an instinct to chase something that is moving, capture it if possible and carry it off to some location of their own choosing. Steadiness training is all about substituting for that sequence another which has the dog waiting to be to be told to retrieve before bringing the game tenderly to hand.
Going against the dog's natural inclinations and achieving that virtuous sequence involves breaking it down into its constituent parts and making various triggers like the sound of a shot, or the sight of something flying or moving, a signal to do nothing. Retrievers, in particular, need to appreciate that they are really pleasing you by sitting quietly, taking an interest but not acting on any stimuli.
The first move, then, is to get a dog that will sit promptly on command and not move until permitted. Sit and stay become, as it were, as near equivalent as makes no difference. You will then, as you re-assert the sit command, be able to throw a dummy or tennis ball behind you and, with a raised hand to emphasise the point, keep the dog sitting and congratulate it before collecting what you have thrown yourself. Praise again.
Work on that until you can confidently throw things in front between yourself and the dog and, before long, you will be able to throw dummies around the dog effectively simulating a drive where birds fall around the peg. At this stage a bang or two will add to the realism and emphasise the disassociation we want to achieve between hearing shots and retrieving. Again, collect everything you have thrown yourself and praise the dog: not in a token, but in a fulsome way. It should be in no doubt that it is doing the right thing and pleasing you by doing nothing.
Where does retrieving come in all this you may ask? The best thing by far is if you can just hunt the dog away from the area where you threw things and have it find a ball you have previously hidden upwind, or one you surreptitiously drop whilst the dog is working. Again, praise for success needs to be really positive. All the time you will be emphasising the 'sit' command so that eventually, if the dog is running free and you throw something at the same time as you issue the command it is the latter rather than the instinct to chase which is acted on. You can then move on to calling the dog back to you and throwing something else before sending it for the original retrieve. Everything you do is acting to underline the fact that the dog must follow your instructions rather than its own inclinations: and if it does that praise is assured. Its acting correctly is never taken for granted.
With a little imagination you can vary the elements of the sequence to keep the process interesting and stop developing expectations which turn out to be correct about what is going to happen next. In fact, if there is one principle which is a key to achieving steadiness in any breed of gundog, it is that if you ever get the sense that the dog is anticipating something you must do the opposite. Don't, for instance, get into the habit of giving your dog longer retrieves to collect and shorter ones which you collect yourself to instil steadiness. Because it won't be long before your dog works out that a longer throw is for it and it takes off in anticipation of being sent.
Think about what you are trying to achieve or re-train rather than doing it by automatic pilot and you won't go far wrong. Always stay one step ahead of the dog: accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative and you can have a shooting companion to be proud of. The Holy Grail of steadiness is a process which takes a little while and which involves putting various elements together, but it is achievable.
So how much time should you give to your training sessions? 'Little and often' are the watchwords. So, building a reminder into every day and keeping it interesting is far more beneficial than spending 45 minutes at such drills every three or four days. Indeed, provided the point of it all is clear and the dog is really congratulated for doing the right thing, then a couple of times a day with a day off now and again would be fine.
I don't reckon to make this sort of thing the subject of a special training session. It's easy enough to build it into the dog's daily exercise: you just need to take a few tennis balls with you.

« CBS: 'Trump paints apocalyptic picture of racial tensions in U.S.'
German Defense Minister states that Germany is now ready to lead Europe militarily »
Theresa May, now UK Prime Minister, appoints Boris Johnson Foreign Minister. What is Article 50?
Theresa May and Boris Johnson
The UK now has a new Prime Minister, who also appointed a new Foreign Minister:
The UK's new prime minister Theresa May has vowed to lead a "one nation" government that works for all not just the "privileged few".
Speaking outside 10 Downing Street after being appointed by the Queen, she said it would be her mission to "build a better Britain".
She promised to give people who were "just managing" and "working around the clock" more control over their lives.
Mrs May is the UK's second female prime minister, after Margaret Thatcher. …
Mrs May campaigned to remain in the EU but has said she will respect the will of the people, as expressed in 23 June's referendum, saying: "Brexit means Brexit". http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-36788782
New Prime Minister Theresa May has made Boris Johnson, the former London mayor who led the Brexit campaign, foreign secretary in her new government.
He replaces Philip Hammond, who becomes chancellor. Ex-Energy Secretary Amber Rudd is home secretary and Eurosceptic David Davis is the Brexit minister.
No 10 said ex-Chancellor George Osborne had resigned from the government.
On arriving at Downing Street, Mrs May vowed to lead a government that works for all not just the "privileged few". http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-36789972
A couple of weeks ago, many thought that Boris Johnson, who campaigned to get the UK to vote to leave the European Union (the Brexit), was considered to be a likely choice for Prime Minister. But he pulled himself out of the campaign to be Prime Minister. So now he is Foreign Minister, which is essentially the equivalent of the what in the USA is called the Secretary of State.
During the 2016 Conservative Party leadership election, triggered by the resignation of David Cameron after the EU Brexit Referendum, Davis initially supported Boris Johnson. But after Johnson withdrew from the race, he transferred his support to Theresa May.
It seems logical, to me at least, that the Brexit Minister be someone who supported the idea of the UK leaving the European Union. It probably also makes political sense for Theresa May to do this for one other reason–problems that will arise that some feel are related to the Brexit can be blamed on a Brexit supporting Minister.
As far as Theresa May goes, I reported a little about her a few days ago. For details, see UK's David Cameron out this week and to be replaced with Theresa May.
The UK apparently is about to get its second female prime minister brings the following scripture to mind:
12 As for My people, children are their oppressors, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths.
The position of Theresa May that Brexit means Brexit seems to signal that she will respect the decision of the majority of voters of the June 23, 2016 referendum.
Thus, she or someone in her government will trigger article 50 related to leaving the European Union. She earlier indicated that this should be done in late 2016, though European leaders seem to be pressing for a sooner date. She and others in the UK seem to want to delay the triggering to give them more time to plan the departure as well as more time to transition out of the EU.
Here are articles 49 and 50 from the Treaty of Lisbon:
49 Any European State which respects the values referred to in Article 2 and is committed to promoting them may apply to become a member of the Union. The European Parliament and national Parliaments shall be notified of this application. The applicant State shall address its application to the Council, which shall act unanimously after consulting the Commission and after receiving the assent of the European Parliament, which shall act by an absolute majority of its component members. The conditions of admission and the adjustments to the Treaties on which the Union is founded, which such admission entails, shall be the subject of an agreement between the Member States and the applicant State. This agreement shall be submitted for ratification by all the contracting States in accordance with their respective constitutional requirements. The conditions of eligibility agreed upon by the European Council shall be taken into account. http://www.lisbon-treaty.org/wcm/the-lisbon-treaty/treaty-on-european-union-and-comments/title-6-final-provisions/136-article-49.html
50 1. Any Member State may decide to withdraw from the Union in accordance with its own constitutional requirements.
2. A Member State which decides to withdraw shall notify the European Council of its intention. In the light of the guidelines provided by the European Council, the Union shall negotiate and conclude an agreement with that State, setting out the arrangements for its withdrawal, taking account of the framework for its future relationship with the Union. That agreement shall be negotiated in accordance with Article 218(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. It shall be concluded on behalf of the Union by the Council, acting by a qualified majority, after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament.
3. The Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after the notification referred to in paragraph 2, unless the European Council, in agreement with the Member State concerned, unanimously decides to extend this period.
4. For the purposes of paragraphs 2 and 3, the member of the European Council or of the Council representing the withdrawing Member State shall not participate in the discussions of the European Council or Council or in decisions concerning it.
A qualified majority shall be defined in accordance with Article 238(3)(b) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
5. If a State which has withdrawn from the Union asks to rejoin, its request shall be subject to the procedure referred to in Article 49. http://www.lisbon-treaty.org/wcm/the-lisbon-treaty/treaty-on-european-union-and-comments/title-6-final-provisions/137-article-50.html
It is provision 3 of article 50 that specifies that the transition from the time of departure from notification is two years. That is actually not a lot of time considering the complicated nature of the EU and trade agreements.
It is very likely that the Brexit will move the UK closer to the USA on more trade matters, as well as one-day come back to haunt the UK as the EU leadership is not at all pleased that the UK will be leaving the EU.
While interim years will vary, this will not turn out well for the UK (see also Will the Anglo-Saxon Nations be Divided and Have People Taken as Slaves?).
Forbes' Brexit Monster is the Beast of Revelation Various ones have been properly convinced that there is a plan for a European superstate. Forbes' writer Tom Worstall wrote that the Brexit vote was about the United Kingdom "not joining the monster of the European Union to come." The Bible tells of a Beast monster that will arise in the end times in Europe. Dr. Thiel cites news reports, as well as the Old and New Testaments, to show that the monster many fear will arise in Europe, despite the vote by the British to exit the European Union.
Post Brexit Prophecy On June 23, 2016, the voters of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) chose to leave the European Union. Now with this BRitish EXIT (Brexit) vote, what is prophesied to happen to the UK? Will the UK do well or be taken over and made slaves? Dr. Thiel explains from biblical prophecies what is ahead for the UK, Europe, and even the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. This is a video.
Should a Christian Vote? This article gives some of the Biblical rationale on this subject. Would Jesus vote for president/prime minister? Is voting in the Bible? This is a subject Christians need to understand. A video of related interest is available titled: Should Christians Vote?
Donald Trump in Prophecy Prophecy, Donald Trump? Are there prophecies that Donald Trump may fulfill? Are there any prophecies that he has already helped fulfill? Could a Donald Trump presidency be apocalyptic? A related video is titled Could Donald Trump be Apocalyptic?

Pyon is Storm Rider and a member of Genesis. Her appearances have been sporadic; she is first seen shortly after Kogarasumaru's battle against Behemoth, then reappears after Spitfire is killed by the Takeuchi Brothers. Later, Pyon tries to assist Hako Isawa in assassinating Kururu Sumeragi, but is thwarted by Noyamano Ringo. Her next appearance is with Orca and Caesar, who she seems to hold some authority over.
Her skills as a Storm Rider are yet unknown, but as she's been seen exchanging blows with a Queen (Noyamono Ringo), it is assumed that she's very skilled.

Just what the hell is a service-oriented architecture?
It stands for service-oriented architecture. Sometimes people talk about SOAs, even pronouncing it as a word.
Oh great, another alphabet soup acronym to confuse us all. Give me the 35,000ft view. And why should I care?
SOA actually does what it says on the tin. It's an IT architecture based around common platforms, protocols and reusable code. It can be used to support and connect services and business processes across an enterprise.
SOA is essentially a collection of loosely coupled functions across the IT infrastructure - internal and external - that communicate with each other to provide a particular service or business process.
The alternative is to stay with siloed, standalone applications that can't easily talk to each other. Non-SOA applications are designed to carry out fairly specific functions and the code in them is often not easily reusable. To modify and customise them so they can talk to other applications becomes costly and complex.
OK, I think I get that but give me an example of how it actually works in practice.
One real-world example is the London Stock Exchange, which has used an SOA to enable its systems to communicate directly with those of the various financial firms it must work with. Other hypothetical examples might be the bank that has grown by one acquisition after another - for example allowing the systems of its retail banking, insurance and mortgage arms to speak with each other and a common CRM system - that uses the SOA middleware layer to pull information from the various legacy systems. Or the travel agent that uses SOA to allow its customers to book cars from a separate car rental company.
Sounds like the web services promise of five years ago. Isn't that all SOA is? That's a common misconception. The SOA approach has actually been around for more than a decade but it's only started to come into more widespread use in businesses now because of the standard technologies, protocols and languages associated with web services, especially XML. To put it simply, web services is the connectivity that enables various applications or functions in an enterprise to plug in and talk to each other and provide the 'service' in SOA.
What are the other benefits of a service-oriented architecture?
By reusing the functionality in applications instead of developing lots of standalone apps it cuts development costs as well as simplifying an enterprise's IT infrastructure and making it much more flexible and agile. In an SOA, services can be quickly adapted to new or changing business processes where previously it might have meant completely redesigning existing applications or buying in expensive new packages.
And how does this all differ from another annoying TLA: EAI - enterprise application integration?
Good question. There are plenty of vendors and IT services players out there for whom the distinction is blurred. They are two approaches towards the same goal, in many cases, if we harp back to - say - the above example of a bank trying to get a single view of a customer, a single version of the truth, as they say. In outcomes EAI bears some similarity to SOA but they are not the same thing.
Is it easy to implement an SOA?
No it isn't and some analysts predict that doing so will eat up 40 per cent of your IT budget. Gartner says that by 2008 SOA will be the prevailing software engineering practice and warns that organisations which haven't started on the SOA path by then will be placing themselves at a competitive disadvantage.
Is that something users see?
Put it this way, in a recent silicon.com CIO Jury two-thirds of respondents said they have already moved or are planning to move to an SOA platform. Financial services companies in particular seemed pretty excited and generally there was a view that SOA equals greater agility. Those who weren't smitten pointed to "more marketing over substance".


Every second year students in various sport teams are offered the opportunity to travel on an international tour to play against players from other countries. They combine this exciting competitive challenge with educational travel that enables them to learn more deeply about the places they are visiting. Apart from overseas tours, we offer students opportunities to travel locally and join in Festivals in and around South Africa.
2018: our next tour is planned for our boys and girls hockey and soccer teams who will be travelling to Netherlands, Germany and Belgium and will have the opportunity to experience many sites and cultures in Berlin, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Dusseldorf and Antwerp.
At Elkanah House, we are committed to developing the mathematical talent in South Africa and facilitate the Western Cape's entries for the prestigious Po Leung Kuk Primary Mathematics World Competition and the International Mathematics Competition every year. This event offers some budding Maths-talent to travel and compete in Asia against the best mathematicians.
We collaborate with other non-profit organisations that arrange tours to New York and Boston where students are immersed in a cultural experience and a rite of passage that transforms their perspectives of the world. They visit Harvard University and many tourist sites to enrich their knowledge, while developing their emotional bonds with local and international students. Our regular skiing trips to Italy and Austria also have provided amazing opportunities for our more adventurous students to try a new sport while learning about new countries, and visiting interesting sites on their journeys.
I am able to be myself, balancing my academics with my interest in drama. Elkanah House is like a family who truly care for each other and the environment.

és una novel·la il·lustrada ideada per Marie Kondo, una experta en endreça de renom internacional i una icona de la cultura pop que ajuda la gent a transformar una llar desendreçada en un espai de serenor i inspiració, i dibuixada per Yuko Uramoto.

Aquest llibre tracta el mètode KonMari ideat per l'autora, un mètode que fomenta l'ordenació per categoria, no per ubicació.

És un mètode que dona una gran importància a ser conscient, introspectiu i a tenir visió de futur.

Aquest llibre és una adaptació gràfica de l'original, La màgia de l'ordre.

Argument
El pis desendreçat i caòtic on viu la jove Chiaki és el reflex de la seva vida sentimental i la incertesa del seu futur. Però la Marie Kondo, la referència mundial de l'ordre, ajudarà la Chiaki a oblidar-se dels seus ex i a organitzar el seu espai vital amb una sèrie de lliçons tan divertides com esclaridores. Aconseguirà portar l'alegria a la seva vida?

II Special and Local Laws
29.2. Section 29(.-Earlier recommendation of the Law Commission as to special and local laws.- With reference to the savings effected as regards special and local laws, the Law Commission in its Report on the Act of 1908, while dealing with section 29 of the Limitation Act, 1908 (corresponding to present section 29), observed1 as unde.-
"The combined operation of sub-clauses (a) and (b) of sub-section (2) is that so far as special and local laws are concerned, only sections 4, 9 to 18 and 22 of the Act apply, and that too subject to such modifications as may be prescribed. We consider that there is no need for this restriction and that the principles contained in sections 4 to 25 should be made applicable to all special and local laws, leaving it open to the legislature to exclude the application of any or all of these sections, in any given case."
Implementing this recommendation, section 29(2) as re-enacted in the present Act, reads as unde.-
"(2) Where an special or local law prescribed for any suit, appeal or application a period of limitation different from the period prescribed by the Schedule, the provisions of section 3 shall apply as if such period were the period prescribed by the Schedule and for the purpose of determining any period of limitation prescribed for any suit, appeal or application by any special or local law, the provisions contained in sections 4 to 24 (inclusive) shall apply only in so far as, and to the extent to which, they are not expressly excluded by such special or local law."
1. Law Commission of India, 3rd Report (Limitation Act, 1908), para. 59.
29.3. "Special" and "local" law.- Several decisions of the Supreme Court1-3 have made it clear that a "special law" is a law relating to a particular area or territory.
1. Kaushalya Rani v. Gopal Singh, AIR 1964 SC 480.
2. Mangu Ram v. Municipal Corporation of Delhi, AIR 1976 SC 105.
3. J.A. De Piedade v. A.V. De Fonseca, AIR 1979 SC 984.
29.4. The Supreme Court has also noticed1 the important departure made by Limitation Act, 1963 (from the Act of 1908) in so far as the provisions contained in section 29, sub-section (2) are concerned. The Court concluded that since, under the new Limitation Act, section 5 is specifically made applicable by section 29(2), it can be availed of for the purpose of extending the period of limitation prescribed by a special or local law, if the applicant can show that he had sufficient cause for not presenting the application within the period of limitation.
The court took notice of the fact that a time limit of 60 days was laid down by section 417(4) of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1898, which was a "special" law of limitation. But the mere fact that the special law has, by peremptory and imperative language, prescribed a period of limitation in section 417(4) was held as not a sufficient ground to displace the applicability of section 5.
1. Mangu Ram v. Delhi Municipality, AIR 1976 SC 105.
29.5. Definition of special or local la.-not needed.- In view of the above authoritative pronouncement, there appears to be no need to define the expression "special law" and 'local law' as occurring in the Limitation Act.
29.6. "Expressly excluded".- The expression "expressly excluded" by such special or local law, as occurring in section 29(2) also, came up for consideration before the Supreme Court1 in a case dealing with section 81 of the Representation of the Peoples Act, 1951. The Supreme Court overruled an earlier view about the interpretation of this expression as occurring in section 29(2)(a) of the Limitation Act, 19.-a view to the effect that the exclusion must be by express words i.e., by express reference to the sections of the Limitation Act.
The Supreme Court held that what had to be seen was whether the scheme of the special law and the nature of the remedy provided, therein "are such that the Legislature intended it to be a complete code by itself which alone should govern the several matters provided by it." "If, on an examination of the relevant provisions, it is clear that the provisions of the Limitation Act are necessarily excluded, then the benefits conferred therein cannot be called in aid to supplement the provisions of the Act."
The Supreme Court further held that even in a case where the special law does not exclude the provisions of sections 4 to 24 of the Limitation Act by an express reference, "it would nonetheless be open to the Court to examine whether and to what extent the nature of those provisions or the nature of the subject-matter and the scheme of the special law exclude their operation."
1. Hukumdev v. Lalit Narain, AIR 1974 SC 480.
29.7. Cases in High Courts.- In view of the pronouncement of the Supreme Court mentioned above, courts enter upon a comparative study of the scheme of the special or local law and the Limitation Act, 1963, with a view to finding out whether an exclusion is suggested, even though the exclusion does not appear in so many words in the text of the special or local law.
29.8. For example, a Full Bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court1. has applied section 5 of the Limitation Act to an objection petition filed under section 11(3) of the Madhya Pradesh Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings Act, 1960, with a terse observatio.-
"The provisions contained in the Ceiling Act do not specifically exclude the application of section 5 of the Limitation Act. Consequently, it cannot be doubted that to an objection application as provided for in sub-section (3) of section 11 of the Ceiling Act, section 5 of the Limitation Act will be applicable."
1. Vijay Singh v. Competent Authority, AIR 1978 MP 72.
29.9. The Calcutta High Court has held1 that the appellate Co-operative Tribunal, established by the Bengal Cooperative Societies Act, 1940, would be governed by the provisions of the Limitation Act which are applicable to "courts" and accordingly section 29(2) of the Act would also be applicable. A certified copy is not required to be filled along with the appeal, but even then the Court came to the conclusion that the provisions of section 12(2) of the Limitation Act, 1963 (regarding excluding the period for obtaining copy of the award) would be applicable, because an aggrieved person cannot make up his mind whether to file an appeal or not unless he reads the reasons given by the lower court.
1. Nirmal Kumar v. Panihati Co-op. Bank, AIR 1977 Cal 246.
29.10. No change needed as to the expression "expressly excluded".- From the above discussion, it appears that the expression "expressly excluded" occurring in sub-section (2) of section 29 has been construed liberally in determining the question whether sections 4 to 24 are available to proceedings under special or local laws. It may be difficult to devise a verbal formula that will cover the variety of situations, and we do not, in the present state of the case-law, propose to make any verbal change.

The Hiller Companies - Birmingham > News Option > 2017
The Hiller Companies Launches Teekay Emergency Repair Kit
The Hiller Companies, the exclusive distributor of Teekay Couplings in the United Sates, is excited to officially launch sales of our Teekay Emergency Repair Kits. The kit provides customers with a quick and easy way to repair pipes while staying on task and minimizing interruption while underway.
One of the most important goals when working in the oil/gas and marine industries is to avoid downtime. Being taken off mission due to broken or damaged pipes can derail your work, cost thousands of dollars and add frustration to your crew's morale.
"A boat that is tied up isn't making any money. Loss of time is huge," Marc Schwartz, Manager of Maintenance and Engineering for Tidewater Barge Lines, said. "I keep a stock of 3-4 kits and order several times a year."
Teekay Emergency Repair Kits provide customized repair couplings of various sizes in addition to all necessary tools needed to install them on the spot. The repair couplings can act as a permanent fix or a temporary solution until a vessel is able to get back to the shipyard.
Repair couplings offer a permanent solution when pipes need to be cut and reassembled. Hinged couplings offer a temporary fix when pipes spring a leak and a ship is still underway.
"These kits allow you to do a field repair that keeps equipment operational," Schwartz said. "You don't have to yard out equipment, you don't need welders, you don't need a couple of guys on fire watch. It's convenient. Anytime you can open the box and everything you need is in there, it's great. It's like going to Ikea."
Jorda Elliot, Hiller Marine Products Manager, said the idea for the Emergency Repair Kit sprang from necessity.
"We were selling the couplings as parts and pieces when one of the icebreakers working in the arctic needed several sizes of couplings, we got the idea for the customized kits" he said. "We think it is a great option for vessels whose missions could be crippled by a leaking or burst pipe."
The kit allows repairs to be conducted on site by anyone on the ship. Work is uninterrupted and unnecessary trips to the shipyard are avoided. Without the repair kit, welders and pipefitters would be needed to install and repair leaks. This could lead to lost time and money.
Each kit is custom designed to provide the size and number of couplings specific to each vessel. Everything from the tools, the couplings, and the cases are customized for specific requirements. Cases range from camera size to ice chest size.
"Because I have a fleet of inland tugs, we have our own maintenance facility, but if I were back out on ocean-going tugs and vessels, I would have a kit on every boat," Schwartz said.
Kidde Recalls Fire Extinguishers with Plastic Handles
As you may have heard, one of our suppliers, Kidde, has recalled their fire extinguishers with plastic handles due to failure to discharge and nozzle detachment.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall on November 2, 2017 noting the following: The fire extinguishers can become clogged or require excessive force to discharge and can fail to activate during a fire emergency. In addition, the nozzle can detach with enough force to pose an impact hazard.
Rest assured that The Hiller Companies does not currently distribute this fire extinguisher and we continue to take precautionary measures with all of our products to ensure they perform effectively in fire emergencies.
If you are concerned that you or someone you know is in possession of one of the recalled Kidde fire extinguishers, we encourage you to visit the CPSC website for additional details:
https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2017/kidde-recalls-fire-extinguishers-with-plastic-handles-due-to-failure-to-discharge-and
We would also like to take this opportunity to share some important reminders about the use and maintenance of fire extinguishers from the Fire Equipment Manufacturers' Association. Please click here for more information: http://www.femalifesafety.org/fire-extinguishers.html

One concerned parent worried about the context being misunderstood has called for the book to be banned. Photo / Facebook
Do you see anything wrong with this kid's book?
by Simone Mitchell
15th Mar 2018 11:22 AM
PARENTS have been left divided over a children's book about laughing powder with some labelling the story inappropriate.
Mums and dads raised concerns about the story which features a clown who spills a bag of "ha-ha powder" into a town.
In a post on social media, a concerned person explained their friend's six-year-old grandchild was sent home with the book.
"So my work mate's 6-year-old grandson came home from school with this book for home work..... ummm laughing powder?" he wrote.
One page in the book reads: "A puff of ha-ha powder blew in the supermarket door. Everyone began to laugh. 'Have you got any hee-hee-hee?' asked a customer. 'It's over in the ho-ho-ho' said the shopkeeper."
In another passage, it says: "The ha-ha powder came to the school. 'Excuse me,' said the teacher. 'I can feel a giggle coming on'. 'So can we!' replied the children. In a second, they were all laughing. 'Take out your books', said the teacher. 'We'll write funny stories'. 'Ha-ha-ha!'"
Parents responded to the homework, with one saying "Da f***ing hell is this ... needs to be banned."
Another said, "That is a bit out there ..."
However, some parents defended the book and its content written by New Zealander Joy Cowley, now aged 81, and published in 1987.
Others said they believe the book to be completely innocent, explaining it has been taken out of context for the era in which it was written in.
"It would have been written long before P was such a problem ..." one parent wrote.
Another said: "I don't think Joy Cowley has a deviant bone in her body.
"What was overlooked as innocent isn't anymore call it retro shamin [sic] and what was nothing is something now in this murky world."
The popular author has since broken her silence following complaints about the book's appropriateness.
Cowley told Daily Mail Australia that the book, published 31 years ago, was written in much simpler times before the problem of drugs spiralled to its new heights.
She explains that the book was received innocently at the time, but understands its more sinister interpretation now.
"It was the days before drug problems, it was about a clown, who is going to a party, and he drops the bag of powder to make people laugh," the author said.
"This is a 1980s book we are talking about, it was a completely innocent time.
"Language has changed, now there is a different reality about powders."
In the same social media post, another concerned adult told their story of how a young boy from New Zealand was sent home from school with a Where's bin Laden? book.
One parent claims their child was sent home from school with a Where's bin Laden book.
"Do you remember **** coming home from school with this? In London you have to find the cocaine dealer ... I took it back to school the very next day."
One Facebook commenter said they believe adults offended by Cowley's book are being "politically correct" and "overprotecting and over sensitising" our children.

At the height of ISIL's ferocious campaign that saw them sweep across Iraq and Syria in 2014 with astonishing speed, came one of the militant group's biggest successes.
In June, within days of launching an offensive on Mosul, Iraq's second city along with its hugely diverse population fell into ISIL hands.
From here, ISIL leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi declared his Sunni caliphate, with Mosul at its centre.
Now, with a revitalised army of Kurds and Iraqis waiting on the outskirts of the city, the fall of ISIL's capital and indeed the caliphate itself could be imminent.
While the fight to rout ISIL from Mosul may soon reach its bloody crescendo, the battle for the much-disputed city is far from over.
Mosul is the focus of many interests. The fractious nature of the country has seen Kurds and Iraqis alike vie for control of the city over previous decades.
While all are fighting to liberate Mosul from ISIL, the Iraqi army, Kurdish Peshmerga and Turkey back Sunni militias are embroiled in tense game of chess, verging on stalemate.
There is little doubt that the ISIL stronghold will soon fall.
ISIL's fighters are out manned by almost ten to one by the coalition of forces descending on Mosul.
An estimated four thousand five hundred militants defend the city, while a force of some 50,000 Iraqi, Kurdish, Shiite, Turkish, American and French troops bears down upon them from all directions.
For Iraq's government, the challenge is not just to reclaim Mosul from the jihadists who have overrun it, but also to assure the city's largely Sunni population that they will not come into harm's way.
As with the battle for Fallujah, the Shiite militias fighting alongside the Iraqi army have been ordered to remain outside the city over fears they may carry out revenge killings on the Sunni civilians trapped inside Mosul. However, with tensions between Shiite, Sunni and Kurds raging, just how well Iraq can unite under one banner is yet to be seen.
For the Kurdish Peshmerga, who have been on the frontline against ISIL since the al Baghdadi's proclamation of the caliphate, the consolidation of Iraqi Kurdistan is Paramount.
Mosul and its surrounding oil fields is much desired by the autonomous region which is currently seeking independence.
Meanwhile, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey also has his eye on Mosul.
The city – which once formed part of the Ottoman empire – along with great swathes of Northern Iraq and Syria, was stripped from Turkish control by Western powers.
Ankara would wish to maintain some kind of authority in the area, not least to quell the aspirations of Kurdish nationalists for an independent state.
In short, the battle for Mosul is far from over. If ISIL's demise ever comes, there will be no more common enemy. The city is on the brink of a humanitarian crisis unlike any other seen in recent times, and when there is no ISIL left to fight, can an agreement be struck between the forces fighting for Mosul?

(Data) Ready, Steady, Go
Commvault has helped more than 100,000 organizations to achieve a state of data readiness—and in doing so, we've uncovered seven guiding principles.
July 1, 2021 August 16, 2021
By Don Foster
According to IDC's 2021 Worldwide IT predictions, by the end of 2021, 80% of enterprises will put a mechanism in place to shift to cloud-centric infrastructure and applications twice as fast as before the pandemic.
This is just one way the world looks very different today than it did a year ago—and that includes the world of data. With companies making accelerated moves to the cloud and/or expanding their cloud strategies to include hybrid and multi-cloud environments, the status quo for data is no longer enough. Data readiness is the key to not only surviving, but thriving during this digital transformation. So how do companies hit the starting line with an advantage?
Digital transformation means traditional applications and stacks, while not left behind, may not be a part of the transformation—but big ticket items like cloud, SaaS and new modern Kubernetes container apps are being built off of new stacks. This means maintaining and evolving governance and protection as threats against the data generated for these technologies begins to multiply.
Customers can't turn off traditional apps in traditional stacks. This gap is highlighting how ill-equipped IT is to manage data in the accelerated digital transformation era. New skills, more scale, different platforms, and securing and leveraging data are the new requirements to operate successfully. The key to data readiness starts with protecting the data and quickly moves into governance and compliance, recovery from ransomware, and continued innovation to effectively manage data in this transformed landscape.
Given how these workloads run together, this causes significant challenges for IT; there needs to be a better way. Both traditional and new workloads have specific best practices for data to be protected, recovered, secured and tied back to centralization and governance. There's a specificity that's required for a SaaS to protect its data alongside traditional, on-prem solutions and hybrid on-prem cloud solutions. You can't paint that product uniqueness with a broad brush, and IT needs to manage all solutions in a unified way that doesn't expand the threat surface.
Not solving for this causes inadequate data protection and can kick off a negative ripple effect that impacts the entire organization. Contrary to the status quo, data readiness isn't an IT conversation—it's a boardroom conversation. It's critical to change the thinking that couches data protection as an insurance policy and moves it to the concept of data readiness making data an asset that helps future proof organizations and provides a secure footprint for managing data with business needs in mind.
Whether you're building apps or running workloads in the cloud, new apps need the same data protection rigor as traditional apps to prove out compliance and governance to auditors, while considering high risk data, data leakage and opportunities to better optimize data.
Let's take a look at where we are versus where we need to be. Prior to the pandemic, the status quo worked to support the business. With a remote workforce accelerating the move to the cloud, business needs changed almost overnight—and that includes how we think about data. Backup has often been thought of as a commodity, like insurance. But now is the time to be more proactive and think of data readiness that leverages data as an asset instead.
So yes, data readiness is a good thing. But how do you achieve it?
Commvault has helped more than 100,000 organizations to achieve a state of data readiness—and in doing so, we've uncovered these seven guiding principles to get to that state:
Harness The Sprawl
Leave No Workload Behind
Find Dark Data
Manage Prescriptively Across the Lifecycle
Automate and Recalibrate – Continuously
Improve The Economics
Keep Up With The Threat Landscape
Data readiness is both a marathon and a sprint in that it's a long-term strategy that's business critical right now. It means having a solid platform with the broadest coverage. The more workloads that are covered, the more companies can provide prescriptive information. Once the coverage is in place, IT can drive DevOps solutions, deliver data through the cloud and store it through storage tiers. Readiness to effectively and intelligently manage data means companies can identify where risk lies through machine learning and AI. No workload should be left behind, and with a unified solution, companies can manage data wherever it lives, whether it be edge, core or cloud.
This is the first in a series of blog posts addressing data readiness and the principles behind closing the gap between the status quo and data readiness. Stay tuned for more insight on this topic and a deeper dive into the technology from Commvault.

Early on the morning of December 8, 1941, the Second World War in the Pacific was begun with an amphibious attack by Imperial Japanese Army troops on the Northeast coast of British Malaya. Within hours they pushed their way inland despite heavy transport losses at the hands of the few British aircraft that were in the area. Other attacks at locations across the Pacific followed in rapid succession, the largest of them aimed at the giant American naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii….
For the British and their commonwealth allies, December 8 was an equally bitter day. War sightings arrived furiously as a series of Japanese convoys landed troops along the coasts of Malaya and Thailand.
The Japanese offensive was, in some respects, the most ambitious offensive ever launched in history. Within the space of a few hours, attacks had been launched at several different locations thousands of miles away.
Yet many people don't know when the offensive actually happened.
For a variety of reasons – the fact that the Japanese lost the war, the fact that the Americans became a dominant power because of the war – most accounts of the Japanese attack say that it happened on December 7. Or perhaps that Hawaii was attacked on December 7 and other attacks were launched a day later.
Why did this happen? Because when the Japanese launched their attacks on December 8, one of the attacks was launched across the International Date Line. Therefore, while most of the attacks occurred on December 8 in the local time of the attacked area (and the local time of Japanese headquarters), the attack on Pearl Harbor was launched on December 7 Hawaii time.
For those who believe that Japan's aims in World War II were to combat Western imperialism, the prevalence of the December 7 date confirms it. From the Japanese perspective, they launched a huge offensive on December 8 – a date which continues to live in obscurity.
