ARC provided by publisher in exchange for an honest review
Once again, Lexi Blake continues to deliver a sexy, tantalizing romantic suspense that will be sure to have readers begging for more of the Lawless siblings. In this second installment, Lexi picks off where she last left off in the last book and throws readers into another gauntlet of excitement, scandal, and new revelations as the Lawless siblings brings forth into light as to what really happened to their parent's death. The hunt for revenge and justice is on and this time it is up to the elusive brother, Brandon Lawless to discover the truth and find the Satisfaction his and siblings are after for.
Brandon Lawless had one mission and objective only. Clear his father's name. The target was marked and it is up to Brandon to persuade the enemy's personal assistant to help him and his siblings get the justice and answers they need.
Carly Fisher might deny it, but she wanted a man who would be a true partner, who would help her. She was alone and the man who convinced her she didn't have to be would win her over. She would be loyal to that man, follow him wherever he went. He couldn't be that man, but he could find a mutual satisfaction between them. He could help her. She could help him and then they would go their separate ways, better for having known each other."
Carly Hendricks hates her job. Well, technically she hates that she works for a manipulative lady who will stop at nothing to be on top. She knows her boss is ruthless but she can't quit because of her boss's threat on her sister. And so when Brandon approaches Carly for help, she soon finds herself working with him and giving him the inside scoop. What was supposed to be an easy mission turns out to be a whole mess of complications especially when Brandon finds himself falling hard for Carly. Will Carly be able to help Brandon find the truth and justice that he is seeking for? Or will an unforeseen turn of events makes this revenge much harder for the Lawless siblings?
Satisfaction was a sizzling, fast paced romantic suspense that will be sure to satisfy any Lexi Blake fans as the writing was clean and engaging. With a multitude of action and unfolding of revelations, readers will be devouring this book in one sitting as Brandon Lawless will leave you hungrily satisfied with his strong sexual appeal. So if you are looking for a steamy romantic suspense that will take you on a wild ride then I would recommend you to read this series as I can't wait to see what is in store for Drew.

There was a period in the late 1970s when it seemed like everyone was fascinated by all things Egyptian — especially anything related to King Tut. The long-gone 'boy pharaoh' Tutankhamun was by most reports a fairly minor figure in Egyptian history but as one of the few whose artifacts survived the attention of grave-robbers, his name had already become a familiar one. When the Metropolitan Museum of Art opened a three-year exhibit of his trinkets in 1976, King Tut became a sensation.

The Alfond-Lunder Family Pavilion adds 10,000 square feet of exhibition space and serves as the museum's entrance.
WATERVILLE — The public is getting its first look at the newly expanded art museum at Colby College.
The Colby College Museum of Art formally opens to the public Sunday following completion of an addition that makes it the state's largest art exhibition space with 38,000 square feet.
The Alfond-Lunder Family Pavilion adds 10,000 square feet of exhibition space and serves as the museum's entrance.
The addition became necessary after Maine natives Peter and Paula Lunder donated about 500 works from their private collection to the museum. The college hopes that the improvements will lift the state's profile as an art destination.

Q: Rudins definition of Integral vs Computation Please help me process this is any sane way.
If we look in Baby Rudin we find the integral as:
Common value of:
$$\overline{\int_{a}^{b}}f \ dx =  \inf U(P,f) \quad, \qquad
\underline{\int_{a}^{b}} f  \,dx =  \sup L(P,f)
$$
if these values exist and are equal. Here the $\inf$ and $\sup$ are taken over all partitions, where we have, in the above:
$$ U(P,f) = \sum_{i=1}^nM_i\Delta x_i  \quad, \qquad
L(P,f) = \sum_{i=1}^nm_i\Delta x_i
$$
where $m_i$ and $M_i$ are the $\sup$ and $\inf$ of $f$ on each respective subinterval.
When we calculate integrals, we dont see anything like this, and even when calculating Riemann sums, we put $\Delta x_i = \frac{b-a}{n}$ and let $n \to \infty$.
Question: How does this sum align with Rudins definition? This is supposed to be the $\inf$ over all partitions, how does fixing $\Delta x_i = \frac{b-a}{n}$ and letting $n \to \infty$ allow me to garantee that this infinite sum equals that $\inf / \sup$?. Also in calculations, people fix a point as the (often) rightmost point in that interval, but that is not the $\sup$ over that interval!! Whats going on here?

A: I would advise you to look at this answer and carefully read both definitions $1$ and $2$ of Riemann integral and also the link of the integral with Darboux sums. The definition of Riemann integral which we use to calculate integral of functions like $x^{2}$ is based on Definition 2. And we take a partition whose sub-intervals are of equal length and form a Riemann sum and take its limit as the number of sub-intervals tends to $\infty$.
Baby Rudin does not handle the topic of Riemann integrals nicely and I would also advise you to consider studying Apostol's Mathematical Analysis on which my linked answer is based. In case you don't have a copy of Apostol's book, then you may also have a look at my blog posts on Riemann integral (which are also based on Apostol's book). You have to understand the link between a Darboux sum and a Riemann sum and the linked answer tries to provide some details in that direction.

A: Indeed, using that definition of the integral would drive most mathematicians insane. Fortunately, there is that wonderful theorem called "the Leibniz-Newton formula" ($\int _a ^b f = F(b) - F(a)$ whenever $F' = f$), which tells us that computing a Riemann integral is the same as computing an antiderivative and evaluating it in the endpoints. Now you are in the position to understand why it is cherished as one of the most important theorems in mathematics.
If the Lebniz-Newton formula does not easily lead to a result, we usually combine it with various properties of the Riemann integral, such as the one describing how it changes under diffeomorphisms (we call this a "change of variables").
By now, you should have understood what we do: we define the concept of "definite integral" based upon Riemann or Darboux sums, prove some practical properties using it, and then use these practical properties in concrete problems, not the original concept itself.

The Lab: BUDX Edition
DJ Zinhle and Claude Baloyi in The Lab Johannesburg
Two veterans of the South African scene get busy behind the decks
In association with BUDX
Mixmag and BUDX are proud to partner on a groundbreaking new Lab destination touching down this summer: Lab Johannesburg.
On Wednesday, June 5, The Lab Johannesburg invites national celebrity DJ Zinhle and longtime South African house music influencer Claude Baloyi to show off their chops at our brand new dance space in the City of Gold.
On top of being one of the most celebrated female house DJ's in all of South Africa, DJ Zinhle is also a producer, trained TV presenter and author who has become a household name for many throughout her country. First stepping up to the decks after being inspired and schooled in the art of DJing by her brother Zak back in 2004, Zinhle has spent the past decade and a half mastering her craft, honing her production skills and building her celebrity profile. In 2009 she launched FUSE academy - a DJ school that aims to empower young females interested in a career within the entertainment industry. A champion of women empowerment, DJ Zinhle launched a unique local television reality series last year called It Takes a Village that is committed to making a difference in the lives of young women in South Africa. In addition to all of her extraordinary social work, her sounds continue to inspire dancefloor revelers all over the nation.
On opening duties, a venerable veteran of South Africa's house music scene, Claude Baloyi, AKA DJ Claude, will fire up the night's proceedings. He started his journey behind the decks back in 1995 and got his big break when he got signed to Sugartrax in 2000. Sugartrax later evolved into what is one of South Africa's most essential house music institutions, Soul Candi. His compilation mixes 'Stereo Candi 1 + 2' gained him national recognition as a top tier dance music purveyor and all six volumes of the series is considered essential listening material by the true heads of South Africa's house music scene.
BUDX is a global platform that supports and spotlights outstanding creative minds in music and culture from around the world.

The weekend got off to a flyer on SW with some great conditions and some cracking signals. On Friday evening Borderhunter got the ball rolling on 6282 kHz, and when he closed down the Black Bandit - with one of his million pseudonyms- hit the airwaves on 6210 kHz.
And a little while ago on this Saturday evening Mustang was booming in on 6750 kHz, a frequency he has been using quite often just recently. There was great reception of other stations, including England's Radio Blackbeard, on 6305 last night, and Magic AM from Amsterdam on 6321.
The German authorities were active today when removing powerhouse FM Dutch pirate Kort Maar Krachtig (Short But Powerful) from the air. The station has been broadcasting on 94.50.
You might have read my recent post about Mark Stafford, who used to run the fine station Atlanta Radio up until 1990. Well I came across a tape last week with a documentary about the station from when it began in 1979 through until 1989. I had a nostalgic time listening to it, and converted it to mp3 format at the same time so I could share it with you.
I hope it brings back some memories for you as it did for me. Don't forget you can hit the download button on the player below and save it to your computer, phone or iPad.
So we've reached the longest day of the year. This morning the sun rose at 0445 and did not set until around 2135 this evening. It was also Father's Day here in England, so I've been busy being spoilt for most of the day!
I've just popped into the radio room for a few minutes though, and I'm happy to say there is a fairly good signal coming through on 1647. Of course, it's a Sunday night, so it has to be Witte Tornado and the Lady. It's especially good to hear them on air today as I'll be visiting them in a couple of weeks when I have a small holiday in the Netherlands. I'm going across the North Sea for the Summer Meeting and staying on for a few extra days to visit some more pirates. It will be great to catch up with some old friends and also make some new ones.
Now the days gradually begin to get shorter, propagation conditions for receiving the Dutch pirates on MW over here should begin to improve. I haven't been keeping a record of the stations I've heard recently as it hasn't really been worth it as reception has been so hit and miss. Last Sunday was interesting though because, despite conditions being poor, I was able to hear Soerabaya on 1622 kHz with a clear ID even though he was using less than 100 watts. That's pretty impressive given the propagation.
Nice to hear Marrianne during the week on 1635, and Wadloper was doing well one evening. I'm looking forward to catching up with him very soon, and watching him down bottle after bottle of beer as though it is water!
Looking back at my logs from last year, I reckon reception should improve a lot during the next few weeks, so hopefully I'll soon be telling you what I've been listening to rather than what I haven't been able to hear!
On Sunday night I was driving through North London and when I got caught in some traffic I thought it might be a good time to have a quick scan of the FM band for pirate activity. These days with internet radio and so many way to communicate, together with big fines when caught illegally transmitting on FM, you might expect the number of pirate stations to be right down. But I was happy to be proved wrong.
In just five minutes I counted 31 stations operating between 87.50 and 108 MHz, and not all playing the usual types of music. On 102.50 I came across a station called Galaxy playing plenty of old soul tunes, including Ben E King's version's of Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree, a track I can safely say I have never before heard on an FM pirate!
One of the strongest stations I heard was Crystal on 104.30, which was audible for a good few miles as I travelled away from London. The RDS most of these stations uses is very handy for ID purposes as hardly any of them seem to identify themselves very often.
I even heard one station playing some retro dance tunes from the 90s, which made a nice change from the reggae, drum n bass, house etc that seems so popular.
It's good to see the scene in the capital still flourishing, and long may it continue.
You can have a look here at a website with some handy listings.
It was back in 1989 when I first found AM pirates. I had been given a shortwave radio for Christmas and four months later, in April, I came across Radio 48 with a very professional sound. Soon I was hooked on the hobby and enjoyed spending as much time as possible listening to these illicit broadcasters, many of whom would pop up on a Sunday morning.
Only a year later though, some of these pirates were silenced by the 1990 Broadcasting Act. One of the stations to bite the dust was Atlanta Radio, perhaps the most slick-sounding of the lot at that time, and a station I used to really enjoy listening to. The man behind the operation was Mark Stafford, and I noticed some years ago that his voice can still be heard once a week on Radio Caroline. I kept meaning to tune in to hear him but always forgot. However, I was at the computer last Tuesday and noticed his show was airing on Caroline Flashback, which has recently been launched.
I tuned in and in an instant I was taken back in time by over 25 years. The voice was instantly recognisable and just as I had remembered. For several hours I stayed tune to Stafford's World, enjoying the music, the talking and thinking back to the days when pirates wondered around the countryside on a Sunday morning with car batteries and tape players.
If you get a moment, especially while conditions on AM are not particularly favourable, do tune in to Mark's show on either Radio Caroline or Caroline Flashback, or on any of the other stations he can be heard on. Take a look at his website for more details.

Rally Sweden - Post-event press conference
Rally Sweden post-event press conference with Mikko Hirvonen, Mads Ostberg, Jari-Matti Latvala and Malcolm Wilson.
Drivers / co-drivers: Mikko Hirvonen and Jarmo Lehtinen (Ford Abu Dhabi WRT), Mads Ostberg and Jonas Andersson (M-Sport Stobart Ford WRT) and Jari-Matti Latvala and Miikka Anttila (Ford Abu Dhabi WRT).
Team principal: Malcolm Wilson (Ford Abu Dhabi WRT)
Press conference.
Mikko the first win of the season and win 13 overall for you makes you Ford's most successful driver, eclipsing Marcus Gr?nholm's 12 wins. Congratulations, how are you feeling?
Mikko Hirvonen:
Relieved! It's been a while since we managed to win a rally and last season was quite difficult. And even more now because we are starting the season with a completely new car. It feels really good to finally win a rally again.
Tell me about the event itself, especially today when Mads was putting a lot of pressure on you.

MH:
He was. He drove really well through the whole weekend. Like every day it has been a bit of a struggle with the road position and you never really know if you should be first car, second car, third car or whatever. Okay, we ended up being the first car for today and the only chance I had was just to go flat-out in the morning. Luckily I managed to take some time out of Mads because he wasn't far behind. I knew the afternoon would be very difficult as it was and we just managed to do it. But I have to say I was really nervous before the start of the last stage. I had enough time not to have to go absolutely flat-out, but only a small mistake and it could have all gone away. It was a big relief in the end that everything went okay.
The first competitive weekend for the Fiesta RS WRC looks to have been a great success, did it match your expectations?
It did yes. Not a single problem the whole weekend. It was a bit cold inside the car but otherwise not one problem at all. I didn't change the set-up at all and it just proved we did a really good job in the tests. Okay Sweden is a little bit of a special rally but the feeling we have here means we are going in the right direction so it's really good.

Jarmo, it has been a whole year since your last win. Did you ever think there would be one again after the problems you had last year?
Jarmo Lehtinen:
Yes all the time. I knew it was there but it was kind of a snowball what happened last year. Things started to go wrong and you lose your self confidence and you start to do mistakes pushing too much. It's difficult to change the direction through the season but it's a bit easier now to start with a new car. If we had the Focus still it would have been maybe a little bit more difficult, but with the new Fiesta it's like a clean table to start with.
Mikko said he was nervous before the last stage. Did you feel his nerves at all?
JL:
I didn't have time to feel his nerves because I was so nervous! When we left the midday service I knew the afternoon would be really tough for us, really, really hard. I don't remember when I've felt so nervous for a long, long time.
Mads, a fantastic result - your first WRC podium! You led all of day one and yesterday until Mikko took over - it was a close finish today! How are you feeling right now?
Mads Ostberg:
Well I'm just so happy to be here. It's been a very strange weekend for me. We came here to hope for a good result but it turned out to be the best weekend ever just fighting on the top the whole way through the rally. It's difficult to explain but the feeling is just really amazing.
You led the rally all day Friday. What did it feel like to be Mads Ostberg, the rally leader?
Well I didn't really understand it to be honest. I was just here to do my best. We had a very good starting position and we took advantage of that so obviously I was very happy. I knew it would be difficult on Saturday going out first on the road on the longest day of the rally. Okay it was not snowing but the second pass was really difficult so it was a good feeling on Friday and it was quite bad on Saturday.
You seemed quite frustrated yesterday, how did you manage to balance that without pushing too hard?
I don't know to be honest. We discussed it quite a lot inside the car but we just decided to follow what we came here for, and that was just to drive steady and try to follow the lines as much as possible and not push too much. Saturday was probably the best day we did. It was really, really difficult and I was getting a bit angry sometimes in the stages. I tried to push but I had the split times from the cars behind me and I was losing so much time. I was frustrated but I couldn't do anything. We kept it going and I didn't do any mistakes. I was happy to be on the road.
What was the atmosphere like in the car, especially yesterday when you were losing time?
Jonas Andersson:
It was kind of clam in a way. I've seen him [Mads] a bit more upset than that. We talked about it after the special stages but he did a really good job. We tried to follow the line. We knew we would lose time but we tried to make it as little as possible.
You've won many times in the Junior World Rally Championship. How does this result compare?
This will beat that all the time!
How does it feel to be the only Swede on the podium on your home event?
Of course, I'm really happy to be here. We had a really good weekend like you said. Like Mikko, we haven't changed anything with the set-up on the car. It's been brilliant all weekend and we've just enjoyed driving.
Jari-Matti, you take away third position overall - you have had some moments along the way but you made it to the podium!
Jari-Matti Latvala:
Honestly I have to say I need to be happy because I am here. I have never had so many big moments during the rally. We twice had a massive spin and I've been three-four times on the snow banks and I don't know how I managed to get it back on the road. But when you push the full throttle and you turn the wheels and point it to the road it [the car] comes back when you don't lose your faith basically. It's been too much up and down on this rally. Mornings were very difficult. The afternoons were great but I'm pleased with my position.
You lost time on the opening stage this morning, what happened?
J-ML:
I don't have an answer why it was like that. Okay maybe it was something that when the road was fresh and you don't have complete lines yet, maybe I was trying to go different lines than the others, and I wanted to push even harder and I thought I had like a feeling in many places that in this corner in the Focus I could go flat-out and if it did start to spin it would go straight. But with the Fiesta it doesn't work like that necessarily and that was a problem for me. I was thinking about how I would go in the Focus but this is a different car and maybe that was difficult for me because I had to drive in a different way with this car.
You picked up an extra point on the Power Stage - were you pushing for a win on that for more points?
Before the stage I saw the Citro?n guys had brand new tyres on the front, but I had good tyres and I thought I want to do well but not take a big risk. I knew the last two stages had gone well and I wanted to keep going the same. Before the last left-hand corner over a bridge there was a long right-hand corner which should be flat at, but I didn't dare take it flat because there was too much to lose. Maybe I could have improved a little bit but it was good like this.
Jari-Matti said you were lucky to be here but how was the rally from your perspective?
Miikka Anttila:
It was a really, really colourful weekend. On Friday we were many times into the snow bank but I think Jari-Matti was very trusting in keeping the faith that the car would come back. Our starting position was not so good on Friday but if you want to make a good result on this rally you have to have the confidence and the commitment in those conditions. I have to say Mads was doing very good work yesterday. It was the longest day and he was the first car on the road but he found the commitment and the confidence.
Malcolm, the perfect start to the season, the perfect start for the Ford Fiesta RS WRC, you must be delighted!
Malcolm Wilson:
I have to day it is a dream because it's been a very, very difficult sort of last six months. We've never been in this situation before when we've had so much time to test and develop a car. Normally we've built a car, done a few days testing and gone straight to the rally. Of course that was a lot more pressure on the team and everybody involved in the programme. There was a lot of speculation about who would be the quickest and nobody really knew until we came to this event. Shakedown was a big relief, to think we were at least competitive. It was the first notch on the belt shall we say, and of course the performance on day one with Mads and the rest of the guys. Then it was a great job by them again today. To get the first three positions for the Fiesta is a dream but it's a great credit to all of Ford for giving us a great Fiesta, to all the people back at M-Sport and all these guys.
Mikko and Jarmo have said they were both quite nervous but what were the nerves like back at camp?
MW:
Honestly once we got into the rally we started to feel reasonable confidence. We knew we had the pace and we knew these guys could do the job. Today was nothing like what it has been for the last six months.
What have you thought of Mads' performance this weekend?
These are the two experts; Mikko and Jari and they've already commented on how well he's driven but it's been a big step for Mads. He's been really consistent and coped with a lot of pressure yesterday and then of course put a bit of pressure on Mikko today. I don't really thank him for that, but I have to say he's done a fantastic drive and he deserves to be where he is.
It's a great result Malcolm but now we move to Mexico where the results haven't been as good in the past. How will you prepare, and do you think you can get over what happened last year?
We hope so. We know where we struggled last year and of course it's a completely different car, completely different technical regulations. The biggest thing that affected us there in the past was altitude but let's say we are making some plans so hopefully we won't be in that situation again. You can't draw a lot from this rally but certainly on the high-speed stuff the car seems to be very, very good. We will go back and debrief. There are more improvements to be made and it's very quickly back to the drawing board to keep improving during the season.
Jari-Matti how much are you looking forward to the next round in Mexico?
I'm looking forward to Mexico and being back on a gravel surface. We had a difficult rally in Mexico last year because of the altitude, but generally we have a completely different philosophy with this car. We have six gears and the engine is working more with the revs, when it was working with the torque last year. I have a good feeling we will have a good car over there and I really want to go there and do well.
Mads, is this just a one-off or are we going to see Mads being a force to be reckoned with?
I definitely hope it won't be my last podium finish and hopefully not the last time I set some pressure on Mikko either. It's been good this weekend and I really enjoyed the Fiesta. It's possible to do some good results during the whole of the season but we are doing some rallies this year that we haven't done before. But we feel quite confident in ourselves, in the car and in our team so I hope we can fight for good positions on the next events as well. It's Mexico next and I can't hope for the same thing we have done here, but we go to Mexico to learn about the rally and more about the car on gravel and we will see on the next events after that when we come to more familiar ground when I hope it will be possible to do some good results again.
Mikko, first win of the year but we were in this position last year. Are you going to change your approach to this season and do anything differently than you did last year?
I don't know. I'm not really thinking what is going to be happening in Mexico. For some reason I always seem to be first on the road there and I know how difficult it is going to be. But like Jari-Matti said we still have a lot of testing to do and I'm really looking forward to going over there with the Fiesta. You never know how it's going to be but I hope we can get a good result. There are no thoughts or pressure, we're just going to try and do a good result again.
Question from the floor:
Q: Martin Holmes, Martin Holmes Rallying, UK.
Mikko, two rallies in a Fiesta and two wins. Can you tell us how the World Rally Car Fiesta compares to the Super 2000 Fiesta?
One has a turbo engine...! For me the biggest difference is the engine. There's a little bit more torque than in the S2000 car and more power as well. That's the biggest difference. The gearbox is a bit different but not that much. Things happen a little bit faster but otherwise the handling is the same.

The temple of Mithras. City of London.
One Saturday afternoon in September 1954, a handsome, faintly smiling god looked up from the London mud. His name was Mithras, and the rediscovered Roman temple to his cult became a sensation in a gloomy postwar capital pitted with bombsites and still recovering from rationing.
The temple was also about to become Britain's most mobile Roman site. Fifty-seven years ago it was in the way of an office block development and was dismantled and moved to the street level roof of a car park, part of the huge Bucklersbury House development. Now it is on the move again, back to the banks of the long vanished Wallbrook stream, to make way for the headquarters of Bloomberg.
In 1954, it was front-page news day after day, attracted half-mile queues and was watched across the nation on Movietone news. Its fate was anxiously discussed at cabinet meetings and watched with close interest by the prime minister, Winston Churchill.
Mithras was a virile young god whose cult spread across the Roman empire from the east and was particularly beloved of soldiers. He was worshipped in cavelike, partly underground spaces where initiates gradually learned of his mysteries in the torchlit darkness.
The furore surrounding the temple led to new guidance on how to treat archaeological remains, and ultimately to the principle that the developer who wants to get his or her hands on a site pays for the archaeology.
Mithras is about to cost a second company dear: Legal & General had to pay in 1954, and now it is the turn of Bloomberg LP, which has demolished the ugly Bucklersbury House to build a vast new a new Lord Foster-designed European HQ. This winter the Temple of Mithras is being dismantled by a team from the Museum of London, and will be rebuilt on its original site 90 metres away.
To their amazement, the archaeologists have also uncovered the original foundations, thought to have been bulldozed to dust in 1954. This time scrupulous care is being taken to record every surviving detail, and get the reconstruction right.Shepherd, who has traced the story through cabinet papers and company records, says the whole affair terrified developers: "A generation after the occasion there were still some in the building industry who would shudder at the mention of the temple." Newspaper cartoons depicted foremen threatening to fine workmen who found anything Roman.
In 1954, two months of recording the details of a puzzling Roman site thought to be a small villa or a warehouse had just ended. The diggers were waiting to start work on the office block and the archaeologists were tidying up and preparing to go to the pub – and then the head was found.
The site in Wallbrook Street in the heart of the City was close to the hub of the newspaper world in Fleet Street, and there happened to be a photographer hanging around. The image of the smooth-faced, handsome young god appeared in the Sunday Times and by that afternoon the fragile ruins were swarming with sightseers: one photograph shows a smartly dressed woman fiercely jabbing her umbrella into the stones. By Monday such a row had erupted over its fate that the then minister for works, Sir David Eccles, was ordered to the site by Churchill.
The archaeologists, mainly students led by WF Grimes, the director of the Museum of London, won an extension and major finds followed, including more splendid carvings. The site opened to the public for two hours each evening, and police had to be called in to control the crowds.
The affair was raised at three cabinet meetings but the Tory government refused to pay the huge cost of changing the new building to preserve the temple, which would have lost an estimated seven floors of office space. Eventually a compromise was reached whereby Legal & General would pay to have the remains rebuilt in a more convenient place.
When the reconstruction opened eight years later, it was hailed as a triumph, but the archaeologists knew that was far from true. The beautiful carvings went to the museum, but the other stones were dumped in a churchyard without being properly recorded or numbered, then moved to a builder's yard. When the time came to put the temple back together again – without any archaeologists involved – some of the stone was missing completely, though the builders assured they could locate extra Kentish ragstone to fill any gaps.
The temple originally had a sunken nave flanked by seven symbolic pairs of pillars leading to the altar, a ritual well and raised seating on either side. It was rebuilt all on one level. A structure where worshippers were gradually initiated into mysteries through darkness and fire lay exposed to the elements on top of a car park. And a wild decision was taken to fill in the floor with crazy paving, giving it the appearance of a suburban back garden feature.
The current site director, Sophie Jackson, said: "The only bit of the entire building that we can be absolutely certain is both original and in the right place is the doorstep." She pointed to the stone slab hollowed by centuries of sandalled feet, and the superbly preserved iron sockets on which the original timber doors hinged.
In 1962, the stones were put together with such hard cement that separating them is now wearing out 10 expensive diamond-tipped cutters a day. Each stone is then carefully cleaned by hand and scrupulously recorded before being put into storage. The temple will be rebuilt in its original home on the banks of what was the Walbrook river, partly underground and dramatically lit, where crowds will undoubtedly come to gape once again at the most moved ruins in Britain.

Q: Why not take the mode of a bootstrap distribution? Say that I had a bootstrap distribution, can I return the mode as a point estimate? It's right-skewed, so the mean does not accurately summarize the distribution.

A: A pragmatic answer is that a meaningful mode is surprisingly hard to estimate in real data. Say we get all distinct point estimates in the bootstrap samples, then all estimated coefficients are the mode, which is probably not what we want. We could smooth the distribution, but then the number of modes is dependent on the smoothing parameter, etc. etc.

A: Others here can give you a technical answer as to exactly why we take the mean and not the mode. I expect it has to do with the fact that the mean is the expected value.
However, your second sentence:

It's right-skewed, so the mean does not accurately summarize the
  distribution.

is not really correct, although I can certainly see where you could get that idea. The problem with the mean for skewed distributions is not that it is not an accurate summary but, rather, that for most purposes it is the wrong summary - that is, it is a good estimate of the wrong thing.
The classic example is income.  In most countries, income is quite skewed so, if you want a one-number summary, the median corresponds better than the mean to what most people mean by "summary"; but for different purposes, the mean could be best, or the mode, or a trimmed mean, or even no measure at all.

Broken Heart Syndrome More Common Since Pandemic Began: Study
By Tarrah Gibbons RADIO.COM
July 11, 2020 07/11/2020 10:00 am
The coronavirus pandemic has taken a toll on people's hearts, whether infected with COVID-19 or not.
According to research published in JAMA Open Network, broken heart syndrome cases have been on the rise with people who do not have with the novel virus, reported "Today."
The condition goes by several names, including stress cardiomyopathy or takotsubo syndrome. This happens when a part of the heart becomes enlarged and is not able to pump blood effectively. Unlike a heart attack, broken heart syndrome is caused by physical or emotional stress, not clogges arteries.
"The increase in socioeconomic and psychological stress from the pandemic has literally increased stress cardiomyopathy," Dr. Ankur Kalra, one of the study's co-authors and an interventional cardiologist in the section of Invasive and Interventional Cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic, said.
The study consisted of researchers looking at the medical records of 1,914 patients at two hospitals in the Cleveland Clinic health system from five eight-week periods. These periods occurred before the pandemic and during the pandemic. Before the pandemic, there were five to 12 cases in eight weeks. During the COVID-19 crisis, the number rose to 20.
"This is a new health hazard which the pandemic has caused because of other stressors that the pandemic has caused," the study's co-author, Dr. Ankur Kalra. said.
Doctor Highlights Importance of Mental Health in Coping With Coronavirus Stresses
"Certainly, this pandemic is a big reason for emotional stress," added Dr. Harmony Reynolds, director of the Sarah Ross Soter Center for Women's Cardiovascular Research at NYU Langone Health.
The syndrome's symptoms can be similar to a heart attack, including shortness of breath and chest pain. Both of these symptoms can also be warning signs of COVID-19.
According to the Mayo Clinic, broken heart syndrome is treatable and most people recover within 60 days.
Medical experts advise individuals to seek help if they feel ill.
"When you think you need to seek care, you should seek care," Kalra said. "You should not brush it under the carpet just because there's a pandemic happening."

Pre-order: Norberto Lobo - Estrela
Pre-order LP, CD or digital version on Bandcamp
Estrela is the third chapter of Norberto Lobo's solo records on three:four. If it is easily identifiable by the black and white photography by António Júlio Duarte on the front cover, the music brings some newness: for the first time under his own name, Norberto Lobo is playing with a trio composed of Yaw Tembe (trumpet), Ricardo Jacinto (cello) and Marco Franco (drums). Paradoxically, it's accompanied by these experimented musicians that Estrela sounds like his most personal record to date.
Lobo's unique approach of composition claim some influences (Tom Zé, Moacir Santos, 50's jazz) in a more assured way. Once again a result of his rich inner world, his puissant curiosity for life and people – fellow musicians, his peers, and audiences, other countries, languages and cultures – and a particular aesthetic disquietude to the musical language that he has been blessing us with his six strings.

Pre-order: Amuleto - Misztériumok
"Misztériumok" the new album by italian duo Amuleto is available for pre-order
You can already listen to the track "Urlicht" with an exclusive streaming on the swiss magazine zweikommasieben
Misztériumok is the third full-length record - their first on three:four - of Italian duo Amuleto, composed of Francesco Dillon and his cousin and three:four's artist Riccardo Wanke. Following the route of previous releases this new album emerges as the fusion of composed and improvised forms and moves between contemporary and electronic music mixing acoustic, electronic and real world sounds. The music takes shapes from a progressive disclosure of sonic material that gradually manifests its nature: at times aggressive and distorted, other times ephemeral and intimate. Cello, electronics, field recordings and a large variety acoustic timbre merge into a unique sound. More intensively than before, Amuleto in these five pieces condenses their aesthetic within intense evolutions, concrete attacks and tight musical constructions.
This work takes inspiration from a series of old photos (as negative silver bromide glass plates) found in the 'Feira da Ladra' flea market in Lisbon. They depict scenes of middle-European family life at the start of the 20th century mixing what seems an ephemeral serenity with an imminent sense of crisis and loss. (2018-03-22)

Eudaimon by Delphine Dora
This multiplicity of voices, coupled with her refusal to position herself as a singing proxy for the poet, is key to the success of Dora's bold and potentially alienating interpretive vision. By stepping outside of this tradition, she opens up the highly personal symbolic realms of Raine's words to more universal readings. And it seems to be an approach Raine would have understood: in Who Are We, where each consciousness is a leaf on the tree of life, music heard a thousand summers ago travels "through me and on, like a wave/Of sound, a gleam/ Irrecapturable".
The Wire magazine, april 2018
This is a sparse beauty. Eudaimon explores the magic and mysticism of Kathleen Raine's poetry in multi-tracked voice and unadorned piano. Delphine Dora's borrowed words melt in a melancholic sweetness, floating out on a mandolin of needled ivory. (...) A voice imbued with a magic that fireflies, flutters with forgotten faces, burns with an untutored uniqueness.
