Not only is he shrouded in mystery, but Albert Cartwright is horribly disfigured, and carries a reputation for being somewhat of a brute. With Christmas on the horizon, a holiday bazaar to organize, and her aging father to care for, can Eleanor make room in her heart for Mr. Cartwright as well?

Lost Voices Victoria LK Williams
Mac is only beginning to accept and live with the results from a lightning strike; a feathered scar around her ankle and the sudden ability to hear a voice-the voice of a killer.
Added to that are the stories of Fairy Kisses, a budding romance, new friends, a mystical kitten and the excitement of the Christmas holidays.
And now she suddenly hears two voices; one filled with love and the other filled with fear.
With the kidnapping of little Tommy, in broad daylight at a beach-side playground, Mac realizes who the fearful voice belongs to.
But who belongs to the second voice; kidnapper or protector?
All clues lead to the waterfront as Mac and her boyfriend Peter race with the others to find the missing boy before it's too late.

Smile For The Camera Max Sparrow
This short story is very dark and twisted. If you like very unusual plots that leaving you guessing and arrive at a profound conclusion, this is for you! It focusses on somebody who is very mentally ill and a journey in life that makes him realize a flaw in his thought pattern. While most people believe happy endings are required for a good story, I am not most people. I think that a good ending involves something an incredibly profound realization. I deliver that in this story. As twisted as this account is, it was written as creative nonfiction- based on a true story. (VERSION 1.2)

A cold case comes back to haunt Vic when the murdered woman's ghost begs Simon for justice. Then a new murder back in Myrtle Beach looks suspiciously familiar. When Simon gets a vision of the next victim, he realizes that all the murders are supernaturally linked. Catching the murderer will take his psychic sleuthing skills along with Vic's street smarts.

Claus: Legend of the Fat Man Tony Bertauski
In the early 1800s, Nicholas, Jessica and Jon Santa attempt the first human trek to the North Pole and stumble upon an ancient race of people left over from the Ice Age.

They are as wise as they are ancient.
Their scientific advancements have yielded great inventions -- time-stopping devices and gravitational spheres that build living snowmen and genetically-modified reindeer that leap great distances. They've even unlocked the secrets to aging. For 40,000 years, they have lived in peace.

I ordered a "pink" that has turned out to be coral? It is nothing like the colour I thought I was ordering. I have e-mailed bluesky to see if it is possible that I can exchange but I am yet to get a response. The email was sent a few weeks ago so I'm doubtful. I haven't tried the colour on as I can clearly see it isn't the colour I ordered and I don't like it. All other products I have purchased have been very nice, although you can't really go wrong with a pillar box red. I will await a response, maybe this review will prompt a reply. We will see.

Why are minorities getting hit harder by COVID-19? Partly because of systemic racism, says Gary-Webb
THE MORNING CALL — As coronavirus cases increase in some minority communities, barriers caused by systemic racism are making it harder to provide the help those communities need, Pennsylvania doctors and public health officials said Wednesday.They were speaking at a Pennsylvania House Democratic Policy Committee hearing on health disparities related to COVID-19.
Tiffany Gary-Webb, associate professor in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh, said there is a lack of robust and accessible testing, and that testing sites are not concentrated in communities of color.
Gary-Webb, a member of the Pittsburgh Black Covid-19 Equity Coalition, said one of its major accomplishments is working with federally qualified health centers to do contact tracing. She said they're also addressing institutionalized racism, like adequate housing conditions, health care and incarceration rates.
"We know that there are disproportionate impacts, so we really think interventions now are desperately needed," Gary-Webb said. "The narrative is clear, so now we really need to take action."

Majority rules
Council moves ahead with a compromise in the Humboldt Dump cleanup debate
By Tom Gascoyne
WE THREW IT ALL AWAY
These mounds that line the banks of Dead Horse Slough in the old Humboldt Dump are made up of discarded appliances and old paint cans. Their presence over the last 50 to 60 years has created a toxic headache for the city.
Photo By Sara Sipes
In the zone: Parts of the contaminated acreage of the old Humboldt Dump are zoned for residential development, the one condition that is sure to change no matter what cleanup plan is adopted.
The go-slow, step-by-step minimalist plan to clean up the Humboldt Road Burn Dump is now the centerpiece in the seemingly endless process the city's undergoing to meet the demands and expectations of the state, developers and concerned neighbors.
The so-called Majority Report, named because a majority of an 11-member citizens' committee adopted it, was for the most part rejected as insufficient two weeks ago by the state Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB).
City staff, meeting with interested parties in the intervening time, tried to fashion a plan that would be supported by consensus. But another citizens' group made of members of the original committee and other neighbors of the project rejected the plan, labeling it the Lando Plan, after City Manager Tom Lando.
That plan, they charge, is too expensive and mirrors the city-backed Alternative 3, which opponents say favors the landowners who plan to develop the land. The property in question is contaminated as a result of years of dumping and burning on a city dump and at least eight other private dumps that operated through the first half of the 20th century.
Overall, the contamination—from lead and other toxins—is spread across 150 acres. The property owners bought the land and paid for a sewer line, the installation of which helped spread the contaminated soil, for future development. Some of them have threatened to sue the city if the cleanup restricts their ability to build.
The Majority Report plan calls for cleaning up the contaminants in Dead House Slough, changing the existing zoning from residential to open space to eliminate further cleanup, and fencing and posting the area to keep trespassers away.
The land would then be monitored over time to see if further action was needed.
The RWQCB, the lead agency in the project, has said it will sue if the city plan does not comply with state regulations, which would seem to include going beyond what the Majority Report calls for. The state is concerned about contaminants leaching off the property with storm water runoff as well as the exposed areas of contaminated soil.
Neighbors and concerned citizens have hinted they will sue the city if the project threatens the health of students at nearby Hank Marsh Junior High or the folks who live to the north in California Park, the direction the prevailing winds blow with the potential of carrying toxic-laden dust stirred up by the cleanup process.
"We're not at a consensus," Lando said, referring to the correspondence the council had received from the neighbors and members of the now-disbanded citizens' committee.
"The council must decide what [plan] should be analyzed or removed from the project," Lando said.
Each property owner, including the city, which has about 10 acres, could go on its own in the cleanup process, but the city would lose any authority to dictate conditions if that were to happen. At this point the property owners are acting under a voluntary relationship with the state, which could issue cleanup and abatement orders if it does not see progress.
The council is split on which way to go. The three conservatives, Larry Wahl, Dan Herbert and Steve Bertagna, favor Alternative 3, which calls for consolidating the contaminated soil and capping it with a seal.
"We've been dealing with this for 38 years," said Wahl, noting this council could end up as another in a long line that has failed to fix the problem. Wahl said his mother lives in a retirement building in California Park, but said that done right the cleanup shouldn't threaten the neighbors.
Bertagna seconded Wahl's motion to adopt that plan, but it failed 4-3 when only Herbert joined them with a yes vote.
Councilmember Coleen Jarvis said she wanted the city's hired consultant, Andy Kopania, to work on the Majority Report and massage and refine it so it is acceptable to the state. The state and city, she said, did not give the Majority Report enough study before it was rejected.
"I'm tired of hearing about what the state wants," she said. "I want the state to hear what we want."
Councilmember Scott Gruendl echoed Jarvis' and the citizens' desires, noting that, in his job as a consultant with Glenn County, he knows the state is not always right.
"I was elected to represent the people of Chico," he said. "I have no problem taking on the state. I do that in my job every day.
"There is no doubt that we have an obligation to clean the slough, keep trespassers out and protect the citizens who will live near the site. But I don't believe compacting and capping is the only way to prevent leaching."
In the end a compromise of sorts was reached, with Councilmember Dan Nguyen-Tan making a successful motion to have staff and outside legal counsel consider the Majority Report and see if it can be "fleshed out" so that it's legally defensible before the state. His motion also asked that the plan preferred by Wahl be considered and that both be put into the context of an environmental-impact report, with the second considered the alternate plan.
The matter will be back before the council on Oct. 21. The motion carried 5-2, with Jarvis and Gruendl voting no. The council will also meet in closed session on Oct. 7 to discuss potential litigation and explore ways to break down and share the costs of the project, which has an estimated price varying from $8 million to $20 million.

Q: How many automorphisms
Hello, I remember that the calculation of the self isomorphism is found by symmetry and rotation and I followed this calculation to calculate the self isomorphism of this diagram but answer is wrong. Am I missing some diagram? Or did I make mistakes in the calculation?
Here are my thoughts on the calculation.
I think this triangle has 6 automorphisms, plus rotations, so this diagram has 6*4=24.

A: The vertices of a triangle in this graph cannot be permuted arbitrarily. This already follows from the fact that two of the vertices have degree $2$ and the other has degree $3$.

The graph has exactly one vertex of degree $4$ in its middle, which means that this vertex is fixed under any automorphism.
Then the four neighbours of the middle vertex can at most be permuted. And as the graph is clearly symmetric in this respect, they actually can be permuted arbitrarily, giving rise to a factor $4!$.
Once you have decided how to permute these four vertices, the two other neighbours of each of these can at most be permuted (and they actually can). This gives rise to a factor $2!$ -- for each of the four triangles.

In the city, this Sea Cliff garden gem captures the only significant outdoor space on the front and side of the property. A formal connection to the architecture is created, and the sound of a water element elegantly buffers this corner home from the street noises so near. A blending of slate with the dark brick on the stairs gives a continuity and flow to this garden that cushions and softens all the surrounding hard edges. Especially in the city there is a need to connect with outdoors, and this alluring garden room paves the way.


If I boot into any of these operating systems, I don't see the drive I've installed OSX on at all. It's there in Disk Management, but I can't read its data. Is that to be expected? I'm at a bit of a loss as to how I'm supposed to add this drive as a boot option if I can't access the data. I believe I'm supposed to copy the chain0 file, but if I can't get to it via Windows, how do I copy it?!
Yes that is to be expected. Windows can not read nor write to teh HFS+ file system that OS X uses. You add a entry thru EasyBCD.

Managing crop residue
By Alberta Agriculture and Forestry
Sept. 8, 2015 - How you harvest, what you are using to harvest and what you do with the residue will have a huge effect on what happens next spring.
"Crop residue isn't trash as it has a significant amount of fertilizer value," says Harry Brook, crop specialist, Alberta Ag-Info Centre, Stettler. "The straw has probably the lion's share of this, as it contains about eighty per cent of the potassium used by the crop. If you remove it repeatedly, you can develop a soil deficiency over time."
Brook says it's important to get an even distribution of the residue over the back of the combine. "If you don't, you'll end up with rows which will provide an insulating layer and the soil underneath will warm up later in the spring. With our short growing season, this can delay emergence by one to two weeks. If the crop is in the ground a long time, it can be weakened by disease. Also, heavy crop residues take a significant amount of nitrogen away from the crop to break down the residue.
"In a year like this we tend to get shorter crops and less residue. As such, the soil warming issue isn't as important as it would be after wetter years. But it's still important to get the residue evenly distributed."
Brook says there are implications for soil health. "The chaff and straw will add a lot of lignin and cellulose to the soil. If you have an especially big crop, it'll take a lot of nitrogen to build up the levels of bacteria and fungi to break that cellulose down into sugars to be cycled into the soil organic matter. It's really all tied into organic matter levels which are your bank account of nutrients in the soil."

International Project reveals Structures of Arsenic Compounds
International researchers have used the Canadian Light Source at the University of Saskatchewan to uncover the structure of two arsenic-containing compounds yukonite and arseniosiderite - information that can be used to prevent and predict arsenic contamination in soil sources that might affect waterways.
Discovered more than 100 years ago, the structure of yukonite and arseniosiderite have been difficult to determine because of their low crystallinity; now using a special technique at the CLS, an international team of researchers from Canada, China, the USA, Italy and Ireland was able to visualize for the first time how atoms are structured in samples of arseniosiderite and yukonite.
For McGill University graduate Mario Alberto Gomez, one of the project's leads, it's appropriate the discovery was made using the first Canadian beamline capable of doing this type of analysis. "I think it was quite fitting that this mineral (yukonite) was discovered in Canada, in the Yukon, a long time ago and then we were doing research on it. And now we were able to finally get a clearer picture of it using a Canadian synchrotron."
Originally from Canada but currently a visiting professor at China's Shenyang University of Chemical Technology, Gomez draws parallels between his team's findings and how knowing the structure of the COVID-19 coronavirus helps scientists understand how it functions, which in turn enables drug companies to develop vaccines.
For example, other natural and lab-based studies have shown that when yukonite and arseniosiderite are placed in a solution containing calcium, they release less arsenic. "Knowing their structure now will help us better understand why this happens," he added.

Socioeconomically disadvantaged groups are more likely to smoke than other sectors of the community. This difference has been attributed, in part, to increased rates of relapse. Relapse is strongly and consistently predicted by financial stress. This project attempts to reduce relapse by reducing financial stress among disadvantaged smokers through the provision of financial counselling as an adjunct to Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT).
Increasingly, Australian smokers represent the socially marginalised and economically disadvantaged sector of our community. They also are a group of people with an increased likelihood of experiencing financial stress. Our knowledge-base regarding the efficacy of various interventions for low socio-economic (SES) smokers is scant. Reducing smoking rates among this population groups requires the development and implementation of rigorous intervention studies. The current research aims to investigate a novel intervention for smoking cessation - financial counselling as an adjunct to nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) with Quitline call-back – assessing its effectiveness as a public health intervention when compared with NRT and Quitline call-back alone. This investigation will provide insight into whether or not financial counselling is effective, is perceived by participants as a viable intervention approach, and whether its effectiveness is determined by the financial stressors experienced by participants.
We will conduct a randomised controlled trial comparing cessation rates between low SES smokers who receive the standard intervention comprising NRT with a Quitline call-back with those who receive NRT and Quitline call-back plus financial counselling. Smoking outcomes will be assessed at 2 and 8 months post-intervention.
2-month follow-up interviews have been completed (December, 2014) with > 90% retention rate achieved. Final follow-up interviews have finished with an 84% retention rate achieved.
Completion expected by late 2015. Several manuscripts are currently published, in-preparation or under editorial review.

"Working with PJ and her staff made the process of divorce much easier to go through.
I found PJ compassionate, knowledgeable, and trust worthy. I found the billing to be appropriate and the fees very reasonable.Within the collaborative divorce process she made sure I was well informed of my legal rights while still supporting healthy compromises for my specific situation.
Working with PJ I felt confident that I would not be taken advantage of by my spouse or her attorney. This allowed me to feel good about the compromises I was willing to make for a long term healthy divorce.
I highly recommend PJ Hartman." – C.H.
"I'm glad I chose PJ Hartman to represent me. Her paralegal gave me the emotional support I needed and she was professional every time I met with her. PJ had a great system and she helped me make the right choices. I appreciate the support and professionalism from such a great team. I had other choices in service, but I did not feel comfortable, like the way PJ and her paralegal made me feel right from the start. I will recommend PJ if I ever come across someone that is looking for a good divorce lawyer." – L.O.
"Nothing but the best…. I was going through a very had time with my divorce and custody issues. I went through 3 other attorneys before I met Ms. Hartman. I found that she had the strongest drive to help me with my case, although it was very difficult, Ms. Hartman really was there to HELP me, not just try to earn money from me. She was very conservative with her billing hours and was also very honest! I truly appreciated that. She is a sole practitioner and had time for me, not like the huge law firms that ignored my calls. She has the friendliest and most confident paralegal I have ever worked with. I would recommend Ms. Hartman to anyone who wants an honest, helpful and aggressive attorney on their side." — F.J.
"PJ and her staff were very helpful and supportive during my divorce proceedings. I could not have chosen a better attorney. PJ's attorney fees were reasonable and were kept to a minimum, while my ex was paying three times as much with her counsel. When things got tough, she got tougher, and issues were resolved without having to go to court. I was very satisfied with PJ Hartman's services and I would recommend her to anyone wanting a tough attorney." — R.F.
"PJ was able to get me the support I needed for my child from my ex. She was very aggressive in the courtroom and she helped me maintain primary custody of my child. I could not have done this without her help and I am very thankful for that." — N.P.
I highly recommend PJ Hartman and her paralegal Michael, they both gave me great support through a difficult time in my life, they surpassed my expectation of the outcome of my divorce. If you need someone to take care of your divorce give her a call. I still can't believe the outcome. — T.E.
I am very happy with the service that PJ Hartman provided for me during my divorce. PJ helped me through this difficult time by working very hard to meet my needs. She defended my rights and helped me through the legal system and the laws of New Mexico. PJ was very professional, knowledgeable, organized and most importantly she never ethically compromised from the truth; even when opposing counsel continually used unethical tactics. When it was tough, PJ stood her ground and fought for my rights. I would highly recommend her services to anyone in need. — D.S.

Building Sangha ( Spiritual community)
Malcolm Stern
Monday, February 15, 2021 - 19:00 to Monday, March 1, 2021 - 20:30
Alternatives says:
Until we reach a certain stage in our evolution not only do we need the support of others of like mind, we have a duty to seek that support. – Adapted from the I Ching
At this particular time in evolution, when there is so much chaos around us, there is a great need for the company of fellow pilgrims on our journey through life. We need to surround ourselves with people who truly meet us, who allow us to speak our truth. People with whom we feel safe, with whom we can be uncertain in our footing and stumble in our speech in the knowledge that we won't be trashed. We need to fortify ourselves by making sure we choose friends with whom we feel aligned, whom we can trust.
For me, this is the essence of sangha. Sangha is a Buddhist term, and the sangha was originally a group of followers of the Buddha who renounced their worldly life in order to follow him around and assimilate his teachings. Thich Nhat Hanh brilliantly explains it in his Friends on the Path: Living Spiritual Communities:
"Sangha is more than a community. It's a deep spiritual practice. A sangha is a community of friends practising the dharma together in order to bring about and contain awareness. The essence of a sangha is awareness, understanding, acceptance, harmony and love. When you do not see this in a community it is not a true sangha and you should have the courage to say so. But when you find these elements are present in a community, you know that you have the happiness and fortune of being in a real sangha."
The practice of sangha is about experiencing heart connection with others, with people who light our fire. We feel vibrantly alive in their presence. We rejoice in creative dialogue. Our conversations make us feel that everything is possible and that the trials that we endure have the potential to strengthen us. Sangha is about tuning in and finding those travelling a similar path (wherever they may be) and strengthening that connection.
But sangha is not just about being kind to each other. Rigorous challenge is the essence of a deep relationship – but challenge as opposed to criticism. We need people who compassionately and wisely call us into question when we are deluded. In our sangha, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
Ultimately, we need places where we can take off our armour and be who we are.
This is an experiential 3 part workshop to support you in creating, nurturing and sustaining sangha ( community ) in your life.
Early Bird £67 until 18th Jan (£87 thereafter)
Module 1 Feb 15th.
