This segment of the CISG Database of the Institute of International Commercial Law of the Pace University School of Law provides a "heads up" for sales and purchasing managers and their advisors. Using questions and answers, it will acquaint them with how The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods affects them. It will bring selected developments concerning the interpretation and application of the Convention and sources of information concerning such developments to the attention of traders and their counselors.
The drafters of the UCC attempted to avoid the strict common law doctrine and establish rules for dealing with the battle of the forms. Under the UCC, unless an acceptance is stated to be conditional on the offeror's consent to additional or different terms, an expression of acceptance operates as such, with additional incidental terms becoming part of the contract unless the offeror has limited acceptance to the terms of the offer or objects to them. (UCC 2-207). Absent objection, whether an additional term, an arbitration clause for example, is part of the contract depends upon whether it is considered to be "material." If the additional term is found to be "material," it is not part of the contract, but there is a contract.
Article 2 of the UCC contains what lawyers call "a statute of frauds." Under 2-201 of the UCC, with certain exceptions listed in 2-201(3), contracts of the kind to which the CISG will usually apply are not enforceable unless there is some writing signed by or for the party against whom enforcement is sought and the writing is sufficient to indicate that a contract of sale has been made between the parties. As between "merchants," if one party sends a writing confirming the contract to the other, if the writing is sufficient to bind the sender and if the recipient does not object in writing within ten days after receipt, the UCC's statute of frauds requirement is satisfied. UCC 2-201(2). But, generally, under the UCC, unless the existence of a contract is admitted, or there has been payment or delivery and acceptance, oral contracts for the sale of goods for the price of $500 or more are not enforceable.
Article 71 of the CISG deals with the concept of insecurity with respect to performance. Although Article 71 provides for suspension of performance on the grounds of insecurity regarding the other side's performance, the standard is restrictive. The standard is whether it has become apparent that the other party will not perform a substantial part of its obligations. Professor Honnold asserts that this means that there must be "objective grounds showing substantial probability of non-performance." J. Honnold, Uniform Law for International Sales Under the 1980 United Nations Convention sec. 388 (3rd ed. 1999). Consequently, suspension of performance and the right to demand adequate assurances of performance may not be readily available under the CISG. A party that wants to be able to demand assurances of due performance if it has reasonable grounds for insecurity with respect to the performance of the other should bargain for contract language that modifies the Article 71 standard.
Article 79 deals with force majeure. The reach of Article 79 is unclear. The first clause of Article 79(1) refers to a seller's or a buyer's "failure to perform any of his obligations. ..." Professor Honnold concludes, however, that this broad language "does not apply to defective performance such as the supply of non-conforming goods." J. Honnold, Uniform Law For International Sales under the 1980 United Nations Convention sec. 426 (3rd ed. 1999).) This opinion is not unanimous. The different views on this subject are discussed in a decision by Germany's highest court. See Bundesgerichtshof, VIII ZR 121/98, 24 March 1999 (case text, English translation of it, and translated text of a comment on this case by Peter Schlechtriem are available).
To benefit from Article 79, the defaulting party must prove that its failure to perform was due to an impediment beyond its control. Further, it must prove that it could not reasonably have been expected to have taken the impediment into account at the time it entered into the contract, or, after it was bound by the contract, to have avoided or overcome the impediment or its consequences. If the failure to perform is due to a failure by a third party whom the breaching party engaged to perform the whole or a part of the contract, in addition, the breaching party must prove that the third party would be exempt from liability under the same standard. Professor Honnold shows that usually the exemption does not apply to the failure of a seller's supplier to perform. The seller must have engaged the supplier to perform a part of the seller's contract with the buyer. Id. at sec. 433-434.
There is, however, a treaty fixing the limitation period applicable to the types of contracts covered by the CISG, the Convention on the Limitation Period in the International Sale of Goods and its 1980 Protocol. They came into effect for the United States in 1994. The Limitation Convention governs disputes arising out of contracts for the sale of goods entered into by a buyer and seller having their relevant place of business in different countries that are parties to the Convention. Some nations that have adopted the CISG have not adopted the Limitation Convention. The latter Convention establishes a limitation period of four years, which is the period fixed by 2-725 of the UCC. The four-year period begins on the date on which the claim accrues. Most claims accrue on the date on which the goods were actually handed over to the buyer. This rule would apply to claims premised on express or implied warranties. Under Article 11 of the Limitation Convention, if there is an express undertaking relating to the goods "which is stated to have effect for a certain period of time," the limitation period begins on the earlier of the date on which the buyer gives notice of non-compliance or the date on which the period of the undertaking expires. Under the Convention, claims for fraud committed before the conclusion of the contract or during its performance would accrue on the date on which the fraud was or could have been discovered.
In addition to the IICL CISG Datbase of which this Guide is a part, the following are websites containing useful information on the Convention and related subjects.
There is an Autonomous Network of CISG Websites with materials on the CISG in websites produced by universities and law firms in Africa, Arab States, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Spain, Latin America and Switzerland.Unilex is a helpful source for case abstracts, case texts and bibliography citations on the CISG and the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts.

St. Paul Guardian Ins. Co. v. Neuromed Medical Systems & Support, GmbH, (United States, S.D.NY 2002), stands for the proposition that, pursuant to CISG Article 9(2), Incoterms definitions should be applied to the contract despite the lack of an explicit Incoterms reference in the contract. The court cited two theses published on the IICL CISG database: Neil Gary Oberman, "Transfer of Risk From Seller to Buyer in International Commercial Contracts: A Comparative Analysis of Risk Allocation Under CISG, UCC and Incoterms", a Laval thesis; and Annemieke Romein, "The Passing of Risk: A comparison between the passing of risk under the CISG and German Law", translated text of a Heidelberg thesis.

Is Las Vegas, Nevada Tap Water Safe To Drink?
The infamous city of Las Vegas, also fondly known as the "City Of Sin," is home to more than 650,000 residents and entertains millions more visitors every year. It's also located in the middle of the desert, which means that getting enough water for everyone in the city is critical.
But how safe is the tap water in Las Vegas, really? We've researched the water quality in the Vegas area to determine just how safe it really is.
Key takeaways on Las Vegas tap water
Las Vegas's tap water is held to standards set by both the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Nevada Safe Drinking Water Program, which means that it is monitored carefully to make sure that it is legally safe to drink.
However, there are still water quality issues like lead, contamination by disinfection byproducts, and hard mineralization that may be a cause for concern, especially for vulnerable populations.
Before drinking your tap water in Vegas, you should filter it through a LARQ filter that can eliminate particulates, PFAS/PFOA, heavy metals, and other contaminants.
Where does Vegas tap water come from?
Las Vegas is in the middle of the desert, which means that the majority of its water supply comes from further away. To be more specific, the vast majority (about 90%!) of the tap water you get out of your Vegas tap is sourced from Lake Mead, the reservoir formed by the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River, and travels all the way from the Rocky Mountains. The remaining 10% of Vegas tap water comes from the valley's own groundwater. Interestingly, during the summer months when temperatures are high and water demand rises, up to 25% of the water used in the valley is sourced from groundwater.
From there, the tap water is tested and treated by the Las Vegas Valley Water District to ensure that the water achieves all quality standards set by both the federal and local governments.
Quality issues with Vegas tap water
The tap water in Las Vegas is required to meet all the water quality standards set by the Safe Drinking Water Act established by the Environmental Protection Agency, as well as the Nevada Safe Drinking Water Program set by the state. This means that Las Vegas tap water is, technically, safe and legal to drink by the time it reaches your glass.
So why are there still warnings for some vulnerable populations and pregnant women to avoid drinking straight from the tap?
Contaminants and disinfection byproducts
One of the first water quality issues in the Las Vegas tap water we found was the excessive contamination by disinfection byproducts.
Chemicals like chlorine are added to treat tap water and protect it from contamination as it makes the journey from the treatment facility to your pipes. But unfortunately, these chemicals can sometimes interact with organic compounds along the way and form disinfection byproducts.
Some of these byproducts and other contaminants are monitored by water distribution companies. But some, like the Environmental Working Group (EWG), find that there's a gap between our current legal standards and more recent research in regard to how these chemicals and contaminants found in tap water can affect your health. Some contaminants and disinfection byproducts don't have any legal limits at all!
According to the EWG, potentially problematic contaminants found in high concentrations in Vegas' tap water include:
Arsenic (445x EWG's health guideline)
Haloacetic acids HAA5 (246x EWG's Health Guideline)
Haloacetic acids HAA9 (721 X EWG's Health Guideline)
Trihalomethanes (341 x EWG's Health Guideline)
How to interpret this data: the EWG found that these chemicals were present in the Vegas tap water at much higher concentrations than they believe are safe to consume. However, the legal allowances for these chemicals are much higher, or nonexistent to begin with, which means that their presence does not violate any legal water standards.
Toxic lead metal is another major problem in tap water throughout the world, having been linked to serious health concerns like neurotoxicity and is especially dangerous for children.
It's no different in Las Vegas: according to the most recent water quality report, lead is present in an average of about 3.9 parts per billion (ppb) in the Las Vegas Valley Water District Distribution system, possibly due to plumbing corrosion as well as the erosion of natural deposits found in the water.
Technically, 15 ppb is the actionable level of lead that would alert authorities to do something about lead exposure in water. However, as has been evidenced by health organizations like the World Health Organization, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there is no known safe level of lead exposure.
According to the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, three small water systems in the region are actually currently exceeding the Action Level for lead contamination. In addition, they warn that older homes and buildings built prior to World War 2 may still be connected to lead service lines. Luckily, though, many areas of Vegas are newer and therefore are less likely to have issues with lead service lines than other cities with older infrastructure.
Because the majority of Vegas's tap water travels along the Colorado River, it picks up several minerals like calcium and magnesium along the way. In fact, it's the second hardest water in America and is classified as "very hard." While this may not present a huge health issue for the majority of people, it can definitely make your water unappetizing.
Many Vegas residents and visitors also complain about the chlorinated taste in Vegas tap water. As is true in many cities and countries, chlorine is added to kill contaminants, but the taste leaves something to be desired.
So, is it safe to drink tap water in Las Vegas?
Legally, it's safe to drink your Las Vegas water straight out of the tap since it has to meet several water quality standards before it reaches your glass, however, the EWG and WHO emphasizes that there are no safe levels of lead. For this reason, and in addition to the water hardness in Las Vegas tap water, it is recommended to filter first before drinking—especially for small children where lead can accumulate and affect them for their entire lives.
The best water filters for Vegas tap water include:
LARQ's Bottle Filtered for filtering your tap water while you're on the go, whether you're walking The Strip or exploring the surrounding desert.
LARQ's Pitcher PureVis for filtration on a larger scale and everyday drinking water at home or at the offce.
Is Miami's Tap Water Safe To Drink?
Is the water in Lisbon, Portugal safe to drink?

Coffee and tea are always part of my creative process, specially on cold days and when I am making my cards late at night! So today I want to share a card that I created using the stamp set included in the Fun Stampers Journey November Bloom Box Kit which is called Cup of Tea.
This set includes a couple of cute tea pots and cups, as well as some sentiments and other pretty images. So, using one of the tiny images, I created a simple background with Sweet Berry ink over a Watermelon Fusion cardstock panel. I die cut a circle window on that panel and I also used a larger pierced circle around the window. I matted the panel with a Whip Cream panel, and I adhered the panel over a Blue Lagoon folded card.
The tea pot ombré effect was created with Candy Apple and Cranberry Bliss inks. For the tea cup I used Turbo Teal Ink and I also stamped the little spoon using Black Licorice Ink. I arranged those elements over the card and I complemented it with a sentiment, which was white-embossed over a Black Licorice circle. To finish up my card I adhered some silver sequins, and Gift twine.


If you have never heard of a light-green card, don't blame yourself. It is nonexistent. And that is why we are writing this blog explaining why it should be on the table for the upcoming comprehensive immigration reform (CIR).
The law requires that an immigrant visa number must be available before an I-485 (Adjustment of Status) can be approved. The problem is that visa retrogression is so severe that green card applicants have to wait many years for their turn. For example, during June 2009, Indian professionals holding advanced degrees will have a chance to get their green cards only if they have been waiting for nine (9) years or more.
This is exactly when a light-green card makes sense. If USCIS determines that an I-485 case is approvable, but cannot approve it due to visa retrogression, they can instead issue a "light" green card until the application is adjudicated. It is a temporary green card for an applicant who has met all AOS requirements and is simply waiting for a visa number. To avoid confusion, we don't use the term "conditional green card," which is based on a marriage to a U.S. citizen.
The carrier of a light green card is not yet a legal permanent resident, but would enjoy certain benefits of being one. Notably, they don't have to renew their Employment Authorization Documents (EAD), Advanced Parole (AP) and possibly H-1B any more. Even if light green cards carry a small annual fee, immigrants would still love it because of the peace of mind it brings, and the money savings from the elimination of other applications. They will also have more freedom than what AC21 provides in terms of career development and changing jobs.
A light green card can replace several immigration documents altogether, such as EAD, AP, I-94, Personal ID, etc. It reduces processing workload, saves tons of money, frees up resources, and is a much better tracking document for all government agencies involved.
Employers stand to gain from light green cards as well: they will be able to reduce expenses on sponsoring immigration applications and managing their employees' legal status.
Even the struggling housing market will benefit from light green cards. An immigrant holding a light green card is more likely to purchase a home than someone who has doubt about the fate of their green card application, especially since the outcome will determine whether they can stay in the U.S. or not.
There may be legislative obstacles in granting certain legal rights to Adjustment of Status (AOS) beneficiaries, but if you think about it, a light green card doesn't violate any regulations or bypass any laws. Remember a person with a pending AOS application is legally allowed to apply for work authorization, use AP for international travels, maintain H-1B status, change jobs using AC21, and so on. Granting such person a light green card only eliminates the massive amount of paperwork involved.
Someone may argue that lost income for USCIS would worsen existing backlogs. If application fees are collected to process applications, USCIS shouldn't need that money for cases that are not filed.
to earn income from light green card maintenance fees.
Excellent idea on reducing legal immigration visa backlog that tackles multifaceted problems. Seems a workable solution within existing broad legal framework that does not require tagging with CIR and streamline USCIS process. With current legal visa backlog(estimate over 20 years for many cases) morale of a visa applicant or a 'would be' citizen is undermined. Assimilation with the society becomes increasingly difficult if one has to wait decades at prime working age (age group 25 – 45 years) when most legal immigrants enter US . This situation is further amplified where family members are divided i.e children are citizen by birth and parents are waiting in line for residency and citizenship. Additionally, long backlog prevents career choices, limits earning potential and diminishes large investment decision such as home purchase, starting business etc that adds value to the economy.
Excellent summary on EB backlog issue and workable solution within current broad legal framework. This should not be tagged with CIR and move as independent legislation to streamline USCIS process.
Need to circulate the idea widely for familiarity of insane backlog issue and additionally highlight the morale of 'to be' citizen left in limbo for over decades. What kind of individual loyalty do the nation expect from a person especially where family members are divided i.e children are citizen by birth and parents will be citizen ( unless there is other ground to be denied) after 10 – 15 years. Its simply a terrible process for social integration.
Thanks. Please help spread the word. There has been recent legislative moves that are touching this area, but the more people know about it, the better.
Nice idea…this should be circulated to all the senators and congressmen.
this is not going to help; the issue is not the non availability of visas, it is the haphazard processing delays and red tape. What they need to do is make it more efficient and transparent, recapture visas lost and make sure that no numbers go in waste. But then every one is benefiting from this logjam, USCIS is making tons of money, lawyer firms are having a wind fall. Only the legal 'alien' is screwed,this is largely by design and not serendipitous.
Hope it comes into force ASAP.
Yes I like this option.but yet least it will give pease of mind. Also It is better to give all preadjusted case, they are wiating only for visa number.
Light green card is great idea and it gives lots of relief to the people who are all waiting in line for years and it is great boost for economy and for innovations.
Thanks for the comments guys. I apologize for the delay of posting them: my email system suddenly decided to hold all emails from WordPress as spam, and I didn't see the notifications until today.
Perhaps I'm just confused, but what is the advantage of this action compared to simply increasing the number of immigrant visa numbers? It seems as if you are just granting temporary status where permanent status would solve just as well if not better if the cap was increased.
Increasing visa numbers is the ultimate solution, better than anything else. But it requires new law. Despite millions of people asking for it in the past decades, it didn't happen. And there is no sign indicating the numbers will be raised any time soon.
Given that, a "light green card" would serve as a gurantee of GC as soon as a visa number becomes available, since the underlying I-485 has been pre-adjudicated and is deemed approvable. It thus allows a person to enjoy "some" green card benefits earlier, not to mention the peace-of-mind, while waiting many years for a visa number.
The difference is that maybe, just maybe, the administration can pull it off without the need for a new law.

Q: sed edit string between spefic paragraph in a file I hava a file called a.txt. And it contains the following contents. It's unknow how many lines between each function.
function a(
line 1;
line 2;
line ...;
properties pro = "test";
)

function b(
line 1;
line 2;
line ...;
properties pro= "test";
)

function c(
properties pro= "test";
)

I want to edit
function b(
line 1;
line 2;
line ...;
properties pro= "test";
)

to the following
function b(
line 1;
line 2;
line ...;
properties pro= "replace";
)

Is it posssible to use one-line command like sed or awk?

A: Provided that your functions are delimited into paragraphs by one or more blank lines as shown, then you could use awk with an empty record separator. In particular, with GNU awk:
$ gawk '
    BEGIN{RS=""}
    /^function b/ {sub(/properties pro= "test"/,"properties pro= \"replace\"")}
    {printf "%s%s", $0, RT}
' a.txt
function a(
line 1;
line 2;
line ...;
properties pro = "test";
)

function b(
line 1;
line 2;
line ...;
properties pro= "replace";
)

function c(
properties pro= "test";
)

You can use non-GNU awk as well, but you will need to set a fixed output record separator ORS since the RT separator is GNU-specific.
Perl provides a similar paragraph mode via the -00 option.
With sed, you could use a regular expression address range to limit the scope of the substitution ex.
$ sed '/^function b/,/^)$/s/properties pro= "test"/properties pro= "replace"/' a.txt
function a(
line 1;
line 2;
line ...;
properties pro = "test";
)

function b(
line 1;
line 2;
line ...;
properties pro= "replace";
)

function c(
properties pro= "test";
)

However bear in mind that things that may be syntactically neutral in your "language" (such as blank lines within a function) may break this approach - for this reason, regular expressions are often a poor choice for such tasks.

Odd Tease In The Division 2 Spills The Beans On The Next Assassin's Creed
Jason Schreier
Published 3 years ago: April 8, 2019 at 7:30 am -
Filed to:assassin's creed
the division 2vikings
An unusual teaser in Ubisoft's loot shooter The Division 2, highlighted weeks after the game's release, reveals that the next Assassin's Creed game is all about Vikings. Kotaku can independently confirm the same.
The Division 2 launched on March 15, but it wasn't until this week that discussion about a possible teaser located within the Potomac Event Center in the game's version of Washington DC started generating buzz.
As first made public by YouTuber JorRaptor, there are numerous posters all over this event centre, picturing what appears to be a Norse god or traveller and adorned with the word "Valhalla".
What's particularly interesting is that said traveller is holding what appears to be the Apple of Eden, a pivotal piece of technology in Assassin's Creed lore.
Here's a closer look:
So does this mean that the next Assassin's Creed, confirmed by Ubisoft to be skipping 2019 and going straight to 2020 (just in time for the expected release of next-gen consoles), is all about Vikings?
Well, yes. Yes it does. A few months before this teaser emerged, Kotaku learned from two independent sources familiar with the game that 2020's Assassin's Creed, code-named Kingdom, does indeed star Vikings. We don't know much else about the game, but after the phenomenal Assassin's Creed Odyssey, we're stoked to see what's coming.
Ubisoft declined to comment.
This teaser is a strange one. Ubisoft has a long history of sticking teases for future games in its current ones, most infamously with Pioneer, a project that was shown off in a Watch Dogs 2 mission before it was cancelled and then brought back to life in a different form.
A new patch for Watch Dogs 2 also dropped a major clue for Watch Dogs 3, telling the world that it would be set in London (which it is).
What's unusual about this tease in The Division 2 is that it's subtle — who would've thought to look for the Apple of Eden in this poster? — yet it's also in your face, with dozens of copies of this poster hanging all throughout the event centre.
It isn't clear whether it was officially sanctioned by Ubisoft HQ or just stuck in there by a cheeky artist, but it's fascinating nonetheless.
Fans had long theorised that the next Assassin's Creed would be set in Rome, after an old 4chan post that accurately revealed Assassin's Creed Origins before it was announced said it was part of a trilogy including games in Rome and Greece. Several recent rumours had given traction to that theory — rumours that are almost certainly incorrect. Vikings and boats and pirate raids are the route Ubisoft is headed in 2020.
m2d2 says:
Boat based AC?
Thats an immediate NO BUY EVER.
niomo says:
Wasn't Black Sail boat based? It's my favorite game of the series.
I dont like any of the naval games, its simply not my cup of tea.
And its Black Flag. 😛
Lol. Shows how much I *truly* loved the game haha.
excelneko says:
Where's the feudal Japan setting 🙁
thatteemo says:
That was teased in Rainbow 6 Siege, so early these teases are 100% correct
They have always been extremely coy or dismissive on Japan, with no end of reasons as to why not.
It's a shame, Sengoku or Meiji seem like perfect eras to weave in to AC.
Maybe Sekiro, Nioh and Ghosts of Tsushima will both saturate the genre for now but also show them that the settings are popular enough to try.
djbear says:
Yeah, I'm still surprised they haven't done it.
I mean it fits in perfectly with AC. Ninja's would be perfect to play.
invictusblade says:
It might good if they use the expedition model from Far Cry New Dawn in this game.
raiding small scale maps might be a good idea if done properly
OliverMamba007 says:
That's Pretty amazing anyways!

Story by Russell Toof on 06/13/2019
SEMBACH, Germany - Dental Health Command Europe welcomed its new commander during a change-of-command ceremony June 13 at the Sembach Gym.
U.S. Army Col. Manuel Pozo-Alonso assumed command of DHCE from Col. Stephen Tanner, following his previous assignment as the commander for Dental Health Activity Rheinland-Pfalz.
"I will do my best to continue to move the region forward," said Pozo-Alonso during his introductory speech. "General Stephens, I'm looking forward to working closer with you and your team. I appreciate your attendance today and I am humbled by the opportunity to serve with all of you."
Friends, service members and civilians said goodbye to Tanner, who commanded since 2016 and leaves Sembach for Falls Church, Va. where he will become the deputy dental corps chief for the Office of the Surgeon General.
"Col. Pozo-Alonso, you are no stranger to Europe and its unique challenges and your exceptional caliber as a leader, will lead this command to new heights," said Tanner. "I look forward to your continued success and your leadership."
DHCE provides sustained dental services in support of the forces in U.S. Army Europe, U.S. Army Central and U.S. Army Africa to enable readiness and conserve the fighting strength while caring for Families and Soldiers for Life.
"Throughout his career, Col. Pozo-Alonso has excelled in an impressive variety of leadership, staff, and clinical jobs that render him more than prepared to assume this critical role and continue the tradition of excellence that defines DHCE," said Brig. Gen. Ron Stephens, the Regional Health Command Europe commanding general.
Originally from Zamora, Spain, Pozo-Alonso received his Doctorate of Dental Surgery Degree from West Virginia University School of Dentistry in 1990. In 1999, he received a certificate in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics from Children's National Medical Center, Georgetown University.
Pozo-Alonso's military career encompasses more than 29 years of service, including 12 years of active service in the U.S. Navy, five years in the Navy Ready Reserves and 11 years in the U.S. Army. His tours of duty include Naval Air Station in Kingsville, Texas, U.S. Naval Dental Center in Yokosuka, Japan, the Children's National Medical Center in Washington D.C. and the Republic of Korea.
Pozo-Alonso's awards include the Army's Legion of Merit, The Army's Meritorious Service Medal with one Oak Leaf Cluster, The Navy Commendation Medal with three gold Stars and the Army and Navy Achievement Medals. He is also a member of the Order of Military Medical Merit.

Times We Used to Spend - Miscellania, or songs for these times
Track list and transcript
Welcome to Episode Four, Miscellania, or songs for these times.
So in March, this year, two days before lockdown, I moved house and one of the things that you have to do if you collect records is move the damn record collection and it's always a horrible thing. And despite getting rid of hundreds of records that I never really listened to before I moved it was still a huge undertaking. So doing the previous shows was actually quite tricky because I was digging through all sorts of weird piles looking for records.
One of the things I did when I started putting them on the shelves was naturally discovering things that I haven't listened to for a long time. And also things that I hadn't given enough attention to because they were new and I had only perfunctorily listened to them and hadn't had time to go through them properly.
So these are just some that popped out at me that I hadn't listened to for a while or ones that I think deserve some attention. So I hope you enjoy them.
Toshifumi Hinata - Midsummer Night - Music From Memory (2019)
Toshifumi Hinata - Broken Belief
Transcript: We are listening to Midsummer Night by Toshifumi Hinata from a compilation of works of his from the 80s that came out on Music from Memory last year called Broken Belief. Toshifumi Hinata is a Japanese multi-instrumentalist. He spent time in the United States and the United Kingdom and attended Berklee College and you can hear those Western influences in his music.
Transcript: This is a beautiful album comprising lovely ambient piano pieces. I highly recommend checking it out. Music from Memory is generally a great label so it's well worth investigating the catalogue.
Shelleyan Orphan - Anatomy of Love - Rough Trade (1987)
Shelleyan Orphan - Anatomy Of Love
Transcript: So this crackly 45 is by Shelleyan Orphan. It's called Anatomy of Love and it's from 1987. Shelleyan Orphan were the singer Caroline Crawley and instrumentalist Jemaur Tayle and they formed through a mutual admiration of the Romantic poets, obviously, Percy Bysshe Shelley, as seen in the name. They signed to Rough Trade, a pretty well known indie alternative label that's still going strong.
Transcript: This track appeared on their Helleborine album which is named after an orchid. They mostly used traditional string instruments and things like that. They also toured with The Cure and formed a new band with members of The Cure after Shelleyan Orphan disbanded.
Transcript: Caroline Crawley unfortunately died a couple of years ago. She had a really incredible voice. She also appears on This Mortal Coil's Blood with some really amazing tracks there. I really recommend checking out both the Helleborine album and Century Flower albums. Both of those came out in mid to late 80s.
This Mortal Coil - Kangaroo - 4AD (1984)
This Mortal Coil - Kangaroo
Transcript: It's another dusty 45. This time This Mortal Coil from their first album, It'll End in Tears. This is Kangaroo, cover of the Big Star track which was on the third Big Star, unsurprisingly called Third from 1975. If you don't know big star recommend checking them out.
Transcript: The singer on this is Gordon Sharp who now goes by Cindy sharp. She has a band called Cindytalk that moved around the same axis as people like Chris Connelly and Kathy Acker and bands like the Revolting Cocks, and things in the UK centered around Psychic TV and Nurse with Wound, Coil and so on. The first Cindytalk album Camouflage Heart is an incredible piece of work and I highly recommend you check that out if you don't know it. It's quite hard to get into but once you get drawn into it it's really a heartfelt experience and Cindy Sharp's voice is just amazing and so powerful. She would appear again under the name Gordon on This Mortal Coil's final album Blood and also Filigree and shadow. Strong connection there between 4AD as a label and Cindytalk. Worth checking all those things out.
Cocteau Twins - Lazy Calm - 4AD (1986)
Cocteau Twins - Victorialand
Transcript: Speaking of for 4AD, this is the Cocteau Twins and it's the opening track on their fourth album Victorialand. It's called Lazy Calm. It's absolutely my favorite album of theirs. It's unique in their discography I think because they ditched the drum machines and bass a little bit for this one. And it's really just something that you put on and just drift off. All these adjectives are used to describe the Cocteau Twins like celestial and heavenly and blissful and all those kinds of things, and they're kind of cliched, but that was absolutely true. It's a beautiful record.
Transcript: I think this was reissued recently. 4AD seem to be on a bit of a reissue kick. Also check out the singer Elzibath Fraser's solo work. It's also really worth tracking down.
David Sylvian - The Boy With the Gun - Virgin (1987)
David Sylvian - Secrets Of The Beehive
Transcript: David Sylvian's, The Boy With The Gun from his fourth solo album after leaving Japan. He formed Japan with his brother Steve Jansen, Mick Karn and Richard Barbieri in the late 70s, and they released five albums. That's a band worth getting into if you don't know them. There's a really good compilation of theirs called Exercising Ghosts which is a really great introduction to their work.
Transcript: David Sylvian has this amazing voice. It's unusual, as in not like general voices you hear in pop music. And Japan were generally a pop band. His voice is quite unique in that environment. His career has been long and fruitful releasing a lot of stuff and he collaborates with some really interesting people like Fennesz, Bill Nelson, Robert Fripp, Holger Czukay from Can and a whole range of people. This album Secrets of the Beehive, for example, is done in collaboration with Ryuichi Sakamoto of Yellow Magic Orchestra and various other things and they've done a lot of work together.
Transcript: If you aren't familiar with Sylvian's solo work I recommend starting with this album as it's maybe the most accessible one. A lot of the other ones are really dense in particular Blemish, which to my mind is his masterpiece, but it's maybe not one to get started with as it's really, I wouldn't say dark, but very emotional as it documents the disintegration of his marriage and relationship with singer Ingrid Chavez and it goes to some "difficult" places.
Young Marble Giants - Searching For Mr Right - Rough Trade (1980)
Young Marble Giants - Colossal Youth
Transcript: So that was a Young Marble Giants from their only album called Colossal Youth. It's the opening track Searching for Mr. Right. Such an interesting band. This was released in 1980 at the height of kind of post punk and people being really noisy and making a lot of loud sounds and big drums. They ditched that entirely and just went with guitar and bass. And then occasionally there's a weedy sounding drum machine that appears in some of the tracks but absolutely stripped down and minimal. The voice is Alison Staton who would go on to sing in Weekend.
Transcript: This is one of my favorite albums ever. Just amazing. What's really interesting about it is that it's so angry when you listen to the words. There's this fury behind them. But Alison Statton presents that in such an offhand way that makes it super interesting. And there's this quietness to it as well. I think someone described it as negative space in the sound. A band that wasn't around for very long but they left behind an incredible album.
Jessy Lanza - I Talk BB - Hyperdub (2016)
Jessy Lanza - Oh No
Transcript: I Talk BB from Jessy Lanza's second album on Hyperdub. I'm such a huge fan. She's got a new album out actually. On order, of course, I should get it soon and it's as good as the last two.
Transcript: She really has a unique approach to things. Obviously, she's massively influenced by 90s R'nB and she talks about that in interviews as well. And you can hear that in her voice, the inflection, the lyrics. It's kind of like a next level R'nB stuff and obviously her production is amazing. It's interesting that she's on Hyperdub as well, which is more known for dubstep and whatnot. The embraces all these kind of contemporary musical forms, like footwork, but really makes it her own.
Denitia and Sene - Breath.Scream.Dream. - Snow Dog Records (2013)
Denitia And Sene - His And Hers.
Transcript: That's Denetia and Sene with Breathe. Scream. Dream. from their debut album, His and Hers. This came out on Snow Dog records. I think it's a limited edition. I managed to get hold of a copy which I consider myself very lucky to have. It's a really wonderful album. There's an effortless synchronicity between the two of them and it just sounds natural when they sing together and collaborate. So not forced in any way. And this alone really draws you in. Recommend their second album too. All available on Spotify.
Jorja Smith - February 3rd - FAMM (2018)
Jorja Smith - Lost & Found
Transcript: It's February 3rd from Jorja Smith's debut album Lost and Found. This was a birthday present in 2018. Thanks for the present you know who you are. 🙂
Transcript: I chose this track on the album because it, in a sense, is a reflection of the entire release. The "I'm constantly finding myself" line and I think there is both a sense of self assurance but also wondering and questioning to this album. She was only 20 years old when she made it and you can hear this kind of questioning going on inside it in the lyrics and also the the way that she articulates her voice. Musically it's definitley influenced by 90s trip hop, Massive Attack and Portishead and so on and maybe some Mo Wax things and the downtempo beats that were prevalent then.
I think she's got some new stuff coming out. To be honest, I haven't really kept up with it. But this is a really great, great album.
Garrett - Gotta Get Thru It - Music From Memory (2018)
Garrett - Private Life II
Transcript: Gotta Get Thru It by Garrett AK aka Dam funk. It's another release on Music from Memory. It's kind of like a Dam Funk record without the rhythms. There's just this lone high hat in this track. A lot of the tracks are completely ambient. I guess sunkissed is the word. This is from Private Life II. There's also Private Life I. Both worth checking out.
Yasuko Agawa - LA Night - BBE (2005)
Various - Strange Funky Games And Things
Transcript: This is LA Night by Yasuko Agawa a Japanese singer. From the 80s it was on an album called Gravy I think. Around 1984.
Transcript: Yasuko Agawa was born in the 50s and has releasing records since 1980 or so. Still is as far as I know. So this I have on a compilation called Strange Funky Games and Things which came out on BBE records in the early 2000s, maybe sometime around there 2005 or something. It's got a whole bunch of hip hop funk and soul records on it. To be honest, I actually bought the whole damn triple album just to get this record because the single is so stupidly expensive. There have be a couple of versions of it, and reissues and whatnot, but it's still ridiculously expensive.
Transcript: This was written a dn arranged by Augie Johnson who was in the group Side effects. He wrote LA Night and also a famous track that was done by Light of the World called London town, which were huge hits in the rare groove scene in London and the UK.
Saint Etienne - London Belongs to Me - Heavenly (1991)
Saint Etienne - Foxbase Alpha
Transcript: London Belongs to Me from Saint Etienne's debut album "Foxbase alpha" which to my mind is the ultimate pop album of all time. And it's just perfect, isn't it? They don't put a step wrong on it.
Transcript: Obviously, Saint Etienne come from a love of pop music going all the way back to the 1960s and that's really apparent in all the things that they do.
Transcript: They have released loads of albums but to my mind they've never quite reached the heights of this one, in the same way that I think Massive Attack's best album by far is Blue Lines and they never quite managed to to reach those heights again. I feel the same way about Foxbase Alpha. I could have chosen any track from this. They're all really really quite amazing. In a just world Saint Etienne would be the most famous band that exists but of course they aren't. Because the world is not just as we know.
Spacetime Continuum - Only One Sky - De:tuned (2019)
Various - DE:10.07
Transcript: In the mid 90s in Cape Town I was involved in running an ambient club, although it wasn't strictly ambient as in NO BEATS ALLOWED. Space Time Continuum AKA Jonah Sharpe was one of the artists that I played a lot. This is is a newish one that came out on De:tuned in 2019, as part of their 10 years of De:tuned series.
Transcript: Jonah Sharpe is a really incredible electronic musician. He's the founder of Reflective Records, which released some really incredible things in the 90s. But most important for me was Spacetime Continuum where he released a bunch of albums in the 90s -- Alien Dream Time, Sea Biscuit, Emit Ecaps, and Double Fine Zone -- as well as a whole bunch of singles. I recommend that you track them all down.
Transcript: He's also in Reaganz with Move D, who have released two remarkably good albums and loads of live stuff that's available on Soundcloud, The Mulholland Free Clinic with Move D and Jordan Czamanski of Juju and Jordache and has collaborated with the likes of Terence McKenna, Tetsu Inoue, and Bill Laswell.
Transcript: To my mind, a highly influential figure in the ambient scene and then also in this kind of style, which is referred to as deep techno. This another beautiful track by him. Just Check out everything he's done. It's all amazing.
Derek Carr - Athenia - Craigie Knowes (2018)
Derek Carr - Pioneers EP
Transcript: A track from one of my favorites contemporary techno artists, Derek Carr. He's been doing this kind of thing for about 20 years now. This is on the Craigie Knowes label and it's from the Pioneers EP.
Transcript: So, Derek Carr, you can hear his influences. It's kind of a post Detroit techno I guess. He's from Ireland, I think, I don't know Ireland or somewhere in the UK. You can hear a lot of that early 90s Uk techno in his sound, Nu Era, Black Dog, As One, Stasis and those kinds of people in the sound. This track is called Athenia and it's one of his more adventurous kind of tracks going beyond just a normal techno 4/4 floor thing. definitely influenced by those early 90s Uk artists.
Peggy Gou - When Round, They Go (Terekke Remix) - Rekids (2016)
Peggy GOU - Art Of War (Part II) EP
Transcript: So this is the Terekke remix of Peggy Gou's When Round, They Go. It came out on Rekids in 2016, so it's quite old now. So to speak. It's from The Art of War Part Two EP. The original is all right. Kind of a techy house kind of track. Not tech house. Please note. No one wants that nonsense.
Transcript: I'm a big fan of Terekke. His first album Plant Age on L.I.E.S. is amazing. Please check it out if you haven't already. Wonderful, wonderful slice of ambient and dub and deep house and all that all those good things. So on this remix, he just really takes the original which is quite slow already and stretches it out and puts loads of space in it makes it all languid. Reminds me a little bit of the Canadian stuff that's coming out from Vancouver and things like that. I'll do a show on that stuff some other time. But yeah, this is definitely the highlight of this EP.
Rings Around Saturn - Decompression - Voyage Recordings (2019)
Rings Around Saturn (2) - Circling Architecture
Transcript: We are listening to Decompression by Rings Around Saturn on Voyage Recordings from 2019. This is an Australian label. Rings Around Saturn has released things on Albrecht La'brooy's Analogue Attic Records which is an incredible label to check out. Everything that they've ever done is amazing. I will say that without fear of contradiction. He's also released records on Unthank and Paper Cuts. It's beautiful instrumental stuff, he does ambient things as well and he's also actually released a really great jungle record, despite what I said last time about contemporary jungle, under the name Pickleman with a fantastic Tim Reaper remix that's also worth checking out if jungle and drum and bass are your thing.
Primal Code – Mutara Speech - Hypnus Records (2019)
Primal Code - Caimano Tribe
Transcript: This is Mutara Speech by Primal Code on the Swedish label Hypnus Records which came out in 2019. It's a four track EP - techno for want of a better word. It reminds me a little bit of Objekt in particular Object #4, one of my favorite records, which is of course, TJ Hertz, probably the best DJ around at the moment. Musically, this is a great EP, a tribal take on techno, deep and hypnotic, cerebral I guess.
Transcript: The cover's a bit dodgy though not sure how I feel about that.
Dan Curtin - Flight Lush
Dan Curtin - The Lush Network
Transcript: The great Dan Curtin with Flight Lush from The Lush Network EP that came out on Dolly Dubs in 2019. Dan Curtin's been making amazing records since the early 90s. I think his first release was in 1992, something like that. I have quite a lot of those early records of his on labels like Peacefrog, Sublime, Metamorphic, etc. He's released a bunch of albums, Art and Science being my favorite.
Transcript: He's just one of those people who has a unique sound, he crosses genres, and he has a real way with melody. You listen to the stuff over all these years, a career spanning almost 30 years, and he has just this unique take on techno. I highly recommend just searching out everything he's done and familiarising yourself with the man's work if you aren't already familiar with him. It's an amazing body of work. And it's for listening and the dance floor equally, there's no distinguishing between the two.
John Beltran - In Static (Original Mix) - Wewillalwaysbealovesong (2019)
John Beltran - The Musical Storm EP
Transcript: To some extent a contemporary of Dan Curtin this is John Beltran, from his 2019 Musical Storm EP on the We Will Always Be A Love Song label. John Beltran is from Michigan and grew up near Detroit. He released his first album in 95 on R&S, one of the greatest labels of all time, as I'm sure we all know. He followed that up with the classic Ten Days Of Blue on Peacefrog in 1996, which is just a wonderful album of techno and ambient tracks. My copy is absolutely battered and pretty much unplayable I've listened to it so much.
Transcript: He has also released on Carl Craig's early label, Retroactive, notably the Aquatic EP as Open House featuring Placid Angles, which is a classic techno record.
Transcript: He too has he has a unique sound. A strong, strong melodic sensibility but also a kind of melancholy feeling in his tracks. If you don't know Ten Days Of Blue you you really want to check that out. Amazing, amazing piece of work.
Miles Atmospheric - Our Future - FireScope (2019)
Miles Atmospheric - SkyHealer
Transcript: We're listening to Our Future by Miles Atmospheric off the Sky Healing EP which came out on the Firescope label. Miles Atmospheric is a pseudonym of Miles Sagnia under which he releases more ambient stuff. He also releases house records on his own Atmospheric Existence Records with some really nice, deep house 12"s in the last 10 years or so.
Transcript: This is just a really nice ambient track. Firescope Records mostly release techno stuff. It's owned by Steven Rutter, who founded B12 the seminal techno outfit in the early 90s. Check them out too!
Overmono - Le Tigre - Poly Kicks (2019)
Overmono - Le Tigre / Salt Mix-
Transcript: To end, Overmono with Le Tigre on their label Polykicks. Overmono is two brothers Tom and Ed Russell. They've been releasing records as Overmono since around 2016 or so. Breakbeat techno is their thing. Ed Russell is also known as Tessela. And Tom Russell is also known as Truss. They produce breakbeat and techno stuff in their own right.
Transcript: They released my favorite record of 2018 which was Raft Living, specifically the Daisy Chain track, which is an amazing break beat, techno, breaks whatever record. I got to play that at Modular last year some time at one of my (extremly) rare DJ appearances which was a lot of fun.
Transcript: So this track reminds me a lot of early Floating Points particularly The Shadows EP and I was wondering why that is and then it was of course, it's the arp. The shuffly house beats also reminded me so much of Floating Points and I couldn't quite figure out why until recently. Then of course there's this amen break that pops in and out linking it to their earlier work. It's just a great techno record.
Transcript: So that brings us to the end of show four. I hope you enjoyed the rather random selection. Next time we will be delving into the world of Carl Craig, in particular his single releases and remixes.

Radio takes top spot in the Reuters News Report
/Radio takes top spot in the Reuters News Report
Posted on June 14, 2018 by wrote in News. It has 0 Comment.
Radio is the number one choice for Irish consumers when it comes to sourcing news. This was one of the main findings from the Reuters Institute Digital News Report, released today (14.06.18). The report, which is funded by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, highlights a fall in the use of social media for accessing news, not only in Ireland but across the world. More about betting apps in nigeria
"Despite the onslaught of social media, today's report on the consumption of news shows that radio is the news medium of choice for a large number of Irish people. Not only is radio top of the pile for news, Irish radio has the highest rate of listenership for news of all the 37 countries included in the survey" said John Purcell, Chairman of the Independent Broadcasters of Ireland (IBI).
"The phenomenon of fake news has caused people to question where and how they get their news. The lack of understanding of how news is created on social media platforms has resulted in a strong endorsement for so called traditional media. Irish audiences know that news on radio is balanced, fair, impartial and verified, all of which contribute to the high levels of trust in radio news. There is no algorithm or curation in radio news, we report the truth and audiences are flocking to our radio stations as a result. This is a strong endorsement of the valuable public service broadcasting contribution of local, regional and national radio stations to communities throughout Ireland" said Mr Purcell.

SSEC computer scientist Tom Whittaker wins American Meteorological Society award
March 5, 2018 | Eric Verbeten
Longtime UW-Madison Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) researcher Tom Whittaker was recognized by the American Meteorological Society (AMS) in early March with the STAC Distinguished Scientific/Technological Accomplishment and Outstanding Service Award. The award recognizes Whittaker's outstanding and sustained contributions to atmospheric science and technology, as well as his service to the Environmental Information Processing Technologies group and the society.
When asked to reflect on his career at SSEC, Whittaker remembers clearly when and where it began. A childhood visit to a planetarium gift shop led him to a "Golden Adventure Book" on the weather, and at that moment he says, he became a true weather enthusiast.
Years later he moved from his hometown in Cleveland, Ohio to attend college at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1965 where he eventually got his start in the field of meteorology.
"When I got to campus, I found out I could not take any meteorology courses for two years," he says. "Needing some credits, I looked around and found a course in something that was called 'computer science,' if you can believe it."
As it turned out, he liked this new and developing field and excelled at the coursework. Whittaker's history at SSEC can be traced back to his work with Professor Don Johnson's group in the late 70s. There he put his computer science skills to use working on a variety of projects, among them the creation of weather plots using satellite data, part of the formative years of McIDAS (Man computer Interactive Data Access System). McIDAS was one of the first software programs developed to visualize geostationary weather data over the US. Its public debut in 1977, enabled a new kind of television weather broadcast featuring computer-generated graphics rather than the hand-drawn graphics characteristic of the day.
Retired SSEC scientist Tom Whittaker speaks at a gathering in Madison, WI after being awarded the AMS Distinguished Scientific/Technological Accomplishment and Outstanding Service Award in early March 2018.
Using this new tool, McIDAS, Whittaker teamed with Johnson again to help create some of the first distance education learning modules for the field of meteorology.
Whittaker would later merge his McIDAS work with the formation of a university consortium called UNIDATA, established in the early 80s to preserve free access to geoscience data and visualization tools. UNIDATA continues today under the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) Communities Program.
"One of the challenges in the early days was reliability of the computer hardware," says Whittaker. "But as the platforms improved and more memory was added we were able to realize more complex analysis and displays and better distribute the ever-increasing volume of data."
The first public debut of the Man computer Interactive Data Access System (McIDAS) in 1977.
By the late 90s, Whittaker coded a new program called VISITView, an online, collaborative system for training National Weather Service forecasters. The system displays visual weather animations and includes other functions, such as digital white board, zooming, colorizing and chat functions used to link instructors with their students at any location. It was a crucial service during the early days of the web and continues to be a key training system for meteorologists today.
True to the Wisconsin Idea, Whittaker's wealth of knowledge was not isolated at SSEC, he shared his knowledge of meteorology and visualization with other atmospheric scientists through programs at the AMS. He led the Interactive Information Processing Systems (IIPS) conferences for 10 years, served on boards and organized conference events.
Officially retiring in 2005, he hasn't stopped programming. He went on to develop a series of weather applets that could be used by teachers to show students some basic principles of meteorology and atmospheric science, like how snowflakes grow or how relative humidity changes inside your house when the outdoor temperature and dew point change.
He continues to be active in his community and volunteers as a local tutor for Madison high schools helping students with math and physics.
Whittaker can still be seen roaming around SSEC visiting colleagues and keeping up on the latest developments at the center. He's encouraged by the advances in geostationary satellites and ways they've evolved for other uses like detecting wildfires, air turbulences, and volcanic ash.
"When you're here so long, you get to know people and they become like an extended family. And I'm grateful for the strong relationships we've developed over the years."

Review: Walker – Jennifer Allis Provost

Title: Walker
Series: Gallowglass Book 2
Author: Jennifer Allis Provost
Genre: Paranormal Romance/Urban Fantasy
Publisher: Bellatrix Press
Who is hunting the gallowglass?
When Karina and Robert relocated from Scotland to New York, they expected things to settle down. New York is known for many things, but a hotbed of supernatural occurrences isn't one of them. Karina returned to her life as a graduate student, and agreed to teach a class over winter break. That was when things got weird: first she and Robert encountered an angry centaur, then a fairy enrolled in her class, and Karina learned that her mentor just might be a deity. When the Seelie King started making unannounced visits to Karina's apartment in the middle of the night and warning her and Robert to be careful, she knew things were serious.
All of these events led to a single question: Who doesn't want the gallowglass on American soil?
Meanwhile, Chris has problems of his own. The university grudgingly restored his teaching position, his agent and publisher are hounding him for a sequel to his worldwide bestseller… and he wonders if he can teach again. Write again. Hell, he can barely even speak to a woman after what happened between him and the Seelie Queen. Then a woman—a fairy woman—comes into Chris's life, and damn it all if he doesn't want her to stay there.
The god plays their hand, and the Seelie King calls Robert to his side. Alone and more frightened than she's ever been, Karina tries to solve the mystery of who is hunting the gallowglass. Will Karina find the answer in time, or will Robert be lost forever?
Reviewed by: Linda Tonis
Karina, Robert and Chris are now back in New York and everything seems to be normal, the key word is seems. The plagiarism case against Chris has been dropped, he is back at Carson University as a professor and Karina is teaching a geology class during winter break. Even Robert managed to get a teaching position at the university so what could go wrong?
Chris is being pressured by his publisher to write a sequel to his best selling book only he is convinced that Nicnevin drained him of his inspiration. He is also staying away from women since between Nicnevin and Olivia his ex-fiance he is gun shy where women are concerned.
When Karina sees her class she immediately recognizes that one of her students is fey since Robert used a legendary fairy ointment on her eyes she has the ability to see them. Little by little things at Carson take a weird turn, Karina's mentor Dr. Berkley now appears to be anything but a mortal and Dean Hargill's real identity is still a mystery but he is definitely not what he appears to be.
With all the strange things going on at Carson the sudden appearance of King Fionnlagh in Karina's home at all hours is just another warning that something bad is brewing and his warnings to both Karina and Robert confirm that. Someone doesn't want Robert around and Karina, Robert and Chris never expected to be surrounded by so many supernatural beings in New York.
There is a war brewing and Karina discovers things about herself she never thought possible, is she the key to ending the war and saving Robert. Chris is also dealing with the fey in Karina's class, Anya who seems to be the muse he needed to get him writing again and finding love.
There are many surprises but the best part of this series is the three main characters and the love they share with one another. Bring on book three I can't wait.

Bridgend Ravens look for a fourth successive home victory when Swansea visit the Morganstone Brewery Field on Saturday afternoon (2:30pm).
The Ravens have tasted success at the Brewery against Newport, Neath and Carmarthen Quins in recent weeks, and will be looking to follow up the success over the Whites from earlier this season, when they won by 21pts to 19.
Swansea sit four points, and a place below the Ravens, who have two games in hand on their Ospreylian neighbours. They were thrashed by 45pts to 10 in their last league outing, a home reverse to high flying Merthyr. This followed a home defeat to Neath another defeat in the Whites' current run of nine in succession.
Bridgend know not to take the St Helen's men lightly. The Whites' first league win of the current campaign was against the Ravens; A 22pts to 6 victory in September. Two Cai Evans penalties were all the Ravens had to show for a dismal early season display.
Fresh from scoring his seventh try for the club since joining in December, Jonny Phillips retains his place at fullback, alongside Joseph Gatt and Michael Powell in a powerful back three. Stuart Floyd Ellis and Nathan Edwards pair up in the centre, with Ryan Evans and Chris Williams selected at half back.
Dafi Davies returns from injury at number 8 to partner Zac and Adam O'Driscoll in the back row. Shaun O'Rourke and Chris John are selected together once again, with Rhodri Apsee, Gareth Harvey and Cai Lewis in the front row.

Efforts to address both issues are hampered by externalities and behavioural biases.
The second wave of the pandemic continues to gather pace in Europe and the United States, but the optimistic news about vaccines has trumped these worries in the minds of investors.
Because they see the global boost to economic activity from the vaccine as potentially larger than any loss of fiscal stimulus in 2021, the markets have interpreted the news as a demand shock, raising bond yields and damaging the relative performance of technology stocks versus cyclicals.
For now, this seems to be a rational response. But the persistent failure of governments in the major western democracies to control the pandemic has lessons for the future, particularly for our efforts to tackle climate change.
Public resistance to lockdown measures made early and strict restrictions, accompanied by effective test, trace and isolation policies, politically infeasible in most of Europe and the US all year. But aggressive restrictions and testing regimes have worked well in Asia and the Pacific.
The comparative results are stark. The cumulative Covid-19 death rate per million of the population is nearly 740 in the US, and 760 in the UK, compared with 3 in China and 15 in Japan, according to Johns Hopkins University.
Opposition to enforced lockdowns in the major western countries is to some extent based on a libertarian belief in economic freedom. This is a legitimate political choice that is usually fully justified but has proved costly in current circumstances. Furthermore, public support for strict measures has been eroded by serious operational failings.
Political opinion has also been moulded by the epidemiological and economic characteristics of this pandemic, which are particularly challenging.
Infectious diseases in their initial stages tend to grow at exponential rates. For example, if they double every three days, they will increase 1,000-fold within a month, unless slowed down by social distancing or herd immunity. But human beings struggle to grasp that idea, and instead tend to assume that the number of cases will grow by the same absolute number each day, leading them to underestimate the danger.
This exponential growth fallacy is a well known feature of human behaviour, including in people who are trained to avoid it. The natural time lag between cases, hospitalisations and then deaths further exacerbates the tendency to wait too long before announcing policy restrictions.
Another issue, very familiar to economists, is the pervasive role that externalities have played in the spread of coronavirus. When an infectious person fails to self-isolate, many other people are placed at risk of disease and thus bear the costs of this individual's decision.
This should present a watertight case for public intervention to enforce social distancing and isolation, especially after positive tests.
Further complicating the response for democracies has been the argument over how to weigh the health benefits of lockdowns and social distancing against the economic costs. Over short periods, the two do conflict, but economist Simon Wren-Lewis has persuasively argued that this is not true in the longer term.
That's because a decision to avoid lockdowns today is likely to lead to exponential growth in cases in the future, resulting in more stringent restrictions, and greater damage to businesses. Considered dynamically, both health and the economy eventually benefit from early and decisive virus control.
The failure of most western democracies to accept these arguments for early restrictions demonstrates the potency of the behavioural biases involved and their fundamental political belief in free markets.
The arrival of effective vaccines might mean that US president-elect Joe Biden will soon be able to focus beyond the virus. But it is obvious that the problems of market failure that plagued responses to Covid-19 also apply to his other big international focus, climate change.
The effects of climate change also increase exponentially, albeit over a much longer period than a pandemic. Time lags between cause and effect are very lengthy, making interpretation obscure to the public. Externalities are unavoidable, and apply across international borders, making them even harder to address. Human biases leave us systematically underprepared to address serious but remote risks.
The climate problem is therefore even less suited to free market solutions than Covid-19.
America's promised return to the Paris accord is the first and necessary step on a very long road. No one has thought of a magic bullet for global warming, equivalent to a vaccine against Covid-19. This problem will have to be solved the hard way.

Houston Theater
Backstage Pass: Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
A karaoke-inspired musical evokes mystery with its mind-bending drag.
By Peter Holley October 9, 2013
There are countless theories about the origins of the outrageous costumes in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, the Tony Award–winning Broadway musical currently playing (until Saturday) at The Hobby Center. Here's mine:
It all started when the show's producers, desperate for competitive edge, located and subsequently abducted Boy George. Probably the sweet-natured, post-cocaine version, as he'd be easier to subdue and transport to an isolated compound, rendition style. At some point, probably after several days of forced karaoke performances to wear him down, the iconic British pop singer was strapped to a gurney and forced to ingest copious amounts of hallucinogenic material. Shortly after, it seems clear, he was unloaded in a Hobby Lobby parking lot, handed an American Express Black Card, and given explicit instructions to create a brand new wardrobe for a high-ranking dignitary from the Hunger Games series.
Do I have any evidence? No. I do not. But as far as I'm concerned, there can be no other reasonable explaination for the mind-boggling insanity that is the costume department on the set of Priscilla.
The show — about a group of Australian drag queens on a life-altering road trip — features a flamboyant array of gaudy attire dripping in sequins, hot pink, exotic flowers and fruit. Among the wardrobe's many gems is a silver sequined jump suit, a dress covered in flip flops, and a creepy jacket covered in smiling Barbie faces (my personal favorite). With Halloween just around the corner, I figured I'd head backstage and check out the costumes in person. My guide was wardrobe supervisor Gillian Austin, who filled me in on the garb that graces the musical. Presented with my Boy George theory, she was noticeably mum. Exactly as I expected.

The guideline was released to help hospitals proactively identify and manage threats of violence.
The Threat Management guideline was written to complement existing workplace violence guidelines.
The International Association for Healthcare Safety and Security (IAHSS) released its latest guideline on threat management March 7.
The guideline establishes a framework for healthcare organizations to proactively identify and manage threats of violence.
"I think these guidelines will help inform folks on where they should be in terms of having a threat management program in place," says Tom Smith, the chair of the IAHSS Council on Guidelines.
The IAHSS Council developed the framework with input from the American Hospitals Association and the American Nurses Association along with the industry surveys and workshops it always relies on for guidelines.
IAHSS officials don't think hospitals will have to make any major changes to align with the threat management guideline.
Still, the IAHSS guidelines provide a helpful roadmap to improve existing programs as well as establish new ones.
Smith also encourages officials to ensure that every violent incident on campus gets reported to a central source at an institution rather than a system where the security department handles some things and employee health and safety departments handle others.
Aside from the training section, the bulk of the guidelines outline the nature and functions of a facility's multidisciplinary threat management team.
The team will be responsible for receiving, validating, interpreting, responding to and managing threats. Procedures supporting those functions should be established.
Smith says the threat management guideline was intentionally broad so that it complements existing IAHSS guidelines like Violence in Healthcare (1.09), Targeted Violence (1.09.1) and Management of Weapons (1.09.2).
Overall, Smith believes the guideline will help institutions more clearly spell out each feature of their threat management program.
The complete version of the Threat Management guideline is available to the public for a limited time here.
