I'm Reading…Ashes of Berlin
Luke McCallin's third novel featuring war-weary German detective Gregor Reinhardt is a corker. Whilst the first two novels in the series saw Reinhardt finding justice amongst the horrors of the Nazi-occupied Balkans, the third find him in postwar Berlin. The city itself is a major character of the book, as indicated by the title. Shattered buildings and rubble-choked bombsites are ever-present. Feral children run among the ruins, widows survive however they can and former Luftwaffe pilots find that for them, the war is not quite over. Berlin's police force is a thrown-together collection of old school 'crows' like Reinhardt, cocky newcomers, and placemen of the Russian, British and American occupiers whose motivations can never be certain. As Reinhardt hunts a vicious killer through the physical and emotional wreckage left by the war, he has few allies, and even fewer he can trust.
The historical detail always feels right, which in turn creates that essential 'period feel'. This is not just another detective story that could be transplanted to the streets of New York. As with McCallin's previous books, the author takes no prisoners and does not spoon-feed the reader. We must keep up with the shadowy characters of five nationalities who weave in and out of the story and quickly adapt to the military and political jargon of the era. His hero is not a superman, just an honest policeman looking for the truth whilst others would rather look the other way.
The Ashes of Berlin is published by No Exit Press.
And Now in German…
The Story of Guernsey is published in German this week. It is an introductory history of Guernsey profusely illustrated with images from Guernsey Museums' collection, aimed at the general reader, visitors to the island and older children. The English and French editions of this book have already made it the Museum's best-selling non-fiction work.
I'm pleased to see this out in German and have to thank my friend Tamara Scharf for translating it, Elke Spangenberg for proofing the text and Christine Zürcher for the final proof-read. My schoolboy German wasn't up to more than browsing through to check that the final copy looked okay. As usual Paul le Tissier laid out the book; always a complication when a paragraph in another language is not the same length as in English. The book is now on sale from outlets in Guernsey and via Guernsey Museum's online Amazon shop.
Catch Flint While You Can
The current Endeavour Press editions of the five Jeffrey Flint books will only be available on Amazon until 8th March. The e-books and paperbacks will be taken offline thereafter pending further discussions. This follows the liquidation of Endeavour Press which has been covered elsewhere in the publishing media.
Are we the good guys?
This month I visited the 'War Remnants Museum' in Saigon, formerly the 'War Crimes Museum' (and technically in Ho Chi Mihn City nowadays). The 'war crimes' of the USA, French and the South Vietnam regime are graphically illustrated with photographs and relics of torture, imprisonment, indiscriminate bombing, careless killings and trophy-collecting. It of course completely ignores the murders and atrocities committed by the NVA and VietCong. A superb retrospective of photographs by journalists killed in the conflict particularly shows the agony of the US war effort, whilst again the North Vietnamese photography was of cheerful NVA soldiers, sturdy peasants and so forth. Hardly balanced, and casting the USA particularly as the baddies. The Museum of the Revolution in Havanna does much the same, although with hilarious lack of credibility in places.
In my reading around the Vietnam War, one US politician looking at the corrupt and oppressive South Vietnamese regime wondered if the US was actually fighting on the right side. The reality of Cold War proxy wars was generally that the US would back unpleasant right-wing regimes with dismal human rights records, whilst the Russians, Chinese and Cubans would back insurgencies by 'popular' leftist groups equally comfortable with violence and murder. To the peasants and teenage soldiers forced to fight or flee it would be hard to tell who the good guys really were.
On holiday I read the classic 'We Were Soldiers Once and Young' by Moore and Galloway, concerning the first major bloodbath between US and NVA forces in 1965. Heart-wrenching stories of the NVA executing wounded Americans got no mention in the War Crimes museum, nor did their favored targeting of medics and medivac helicopters. I also watched the indifferent Brad Pitt movie 'War Machine' about Afghanistan, which drew its own parallels to the Vietnam War; the people we are fighting are the people we came here to defend.
It has been said that the mistake the West keeps making is to assume we are the good guys.
There are always two sides to a conflict, always two views, even if objective analysis shows one to be in the wrong. 'Zulu' is a cracking film of bravery against the odds, but did the Good Guys win? The Good Guys clearly won WW2, albeit with the British carpet-bombing German cities, the Americans nuking Japan and the Russians throwing mercy to the wind as they closed on Berlin. Afterwards, the colonies and liberated territories simply wanted us gone. We view Liberal Capitalist (Christian) Democracy as the gold standard, but a huge chunk of the rest of the world does not agree. Capitalism is widely viewed as a Bad Thing and destructive of the environment, democracy is despised as weak, liberalism as decadent. Newly created democracies easily succumb to corruption, infighting and sham elections, turning the reign of the last dictator into some kind of golden age. Some religious groups even argue that government comes from God, not man, so democracy is fundamentally wrong.
Because we believe we are right, we gain the moral justification to act in our interests with all the power at our disposal. This view has probably triggered more conflicts than any other in modern history.
When writing, one can flirt with the opposing viewpoints of each side to avoid being simplistic. MI6 or KGB operatives are simply doing their job for their country, and the moral ambiguity of the spy thriller means that the line between good and evil is blurred. War movies and westerns from the 1960s onwards moved away from the flag-waver to the 'anti-war' movie where the enemy is human too. We even see clumsy attempts in terrorist fiction to get into the hearts and minds of the suicide bombers and jihadi killers; but for the meantime, they are the baddies, period.
Back in the dangerous and unstable real world we yearn for the simplicity of a 007 supervillain to fight. Our film fiction grasps at hollow victories snatched from a mess of inconclusive or disastrous interventions. Watching say 'Black Hawk Down' or '13 Hours' where flag-waving AK-toting gunmen are shot down like Red Indians in a 1950s B movie, we can see articulation of that simplicity; an against-the-odds mission to save your buddies amid a geopolitical clusterfuck. However, looking at those heaps of bodies of fighters at the end of the movie, killed in their own countries by foreign interventionists, we have to ask; are we the good guys?
Writing Space
Yes folks, I have a garret. My study is in the converted roof space of our bungalow. When we first moved to Serenity we created a little room at the back, with dormer windows overlooking the garden and fields, and almost but not quite a view of the Atlantic. Sounds idyllic, but it was not the best place to write. For one thing, the evening sun came straight in, making it uncomfortably hot and too bright to see the computer screen. All that light would surely fade my books too.
So I moved across to the north side, where a chimney had been removed and a velux window popped into the roof to replace it. The sun never comes directly inside, but above me the sky is bright and I can push open the velux and listen to the birds. Mostly it is shady and quiet, with no distracting views and the perfect place to write.
One could tell it was my room the moment you stepped inside. The furniture is all black, originally self-assembly black ash from the late 80's which I've carted around and re-assembled after every house move. It is held together now by inelegant large screws, wood glue and positive thinking. Two showcases for my collections were purpose-built to match.
Five book cases are squashed in here – a stack of military history and ancient history dominates the room. My hardcore archaeology is in my museum office and my paperbacks are on the landing 'library' or over in the den. One shelf holds writer's aids, dictionaries, a thesaurus and a bible. Below is a shelf of worrying titles concerning murder, forensics and various ways to kill people and then be found out afterwards. A steel filing cabinet holds paperwork, and a black set of drawers is so full of stuff they are reluctant to open any more. More spread into the corners of the room. I'mm sure you can imagine the random untidiness that creeps in.
What wall space is left, plus almost every surface, is covered in souvenirs of travel and random collecting. Native masks, a replica 'Sting', Great War medals and a couple of my framed book covers hang around the desk. My mother bought me a bust of Napoleon which sits by my elbow, and my sister bought me a cardboard robot as a joke present but he's been a sentinel by my computer for a decade. Maybe 1,000 hand painted model soldiers of all periods of history stand in mirror-backed cabinets that double their ranks. Each reminds me of a day – or at least the year- when I painted it.
A pair of whiteboards carry the latest plot twists – but more of them anon. A leather firewood basket holds an assortment of cables, chargers and connectors, each with a different dinosaur on the plug to distinguish them; brontosaurus is for the mobile and so forth. A brass coal scuttle serves as a rubbish bin and never quite overflows.
Three computers are in use, sometimes at the same time. 'Little Dell' sits under the big black desk and is for my writing. Alongside is 'Big Dell', an older but hefty machine that is used purely for movie editing. As it isn't connected to the internet and only carries four useful programs it doesn't get clogged by constant updates or slowed by firewalls, so happily chugs onward despite still using Windows XP. Then there's this machine (surprise!), my laptop, that sits on the bookcase next to Napoleon. I have a dicky back these days and have got used to standing up to work. Standing typing can be messy but it is a good place to do first drafts, emails, blogs and 'waste time on the internet'.
Of course there are sundry heaps, and I have a shelf double-stacked with crime books I'm yet to read, but everyone has those, eh? Enough of the guided tour, it's back to writing.
Writing on a Wall (part 2)
I'd like to continue the theme of my last blog, where I discussed established principles for writing text on a wall. These apply not only to museums and galleries, but other public spaces such as information boards.
It goes without saying that the writing should be grammatically correct. Less obvious is that sentences need to be kept short. People are reading wall text standing up, an arm's length or more away. They may be tired and suffering 'museum back', and could easily be distracted by something more enticing in the gallery. Sentences beyond 15 words in length become increasingly challenging to read and some people will give up. By 25 words half the audience has been lost, and almost no-one is still reading at 30.
Punctuation is also the enemy of the curator. The ideal sentence contains no punctuation other than the full stop. A comma gives the reader an opportunity to pause, and indeed to stop reading. Subordinate clauses can make the meaning hard to follow, and people forced to back-track to fully understand may simply not bother. Colons, semicolons, em-dashes and brackets are beyond the pale. Question marks can appear patronising, can't they? Exclamation marks can look childish – just ask the kids!
Without being simplistic, common words are preferable to long and obscure ones. Archaeologists 'dig' rather than 'excavate'. Instead of them 'evaluating' or 'elucidating' or 'extrapolating', plainer English explanations need to be explored.
The objects are cool – so the text should be cool too.
Within these guidelines, the writing still needs to be fluid and engaging. Museum curators can borrow principles from magazine writers, who are aiming to entertain and inform without lecturing. The use of active verbs is preferred: "The dockers unloaded the ship" rather than "The ship was unloaded by dockers". Excitement can be injected, where "The soldiers charged onto the beach" rather than "Soldiers were landed on the beach." Weak nouns are also discouraged: "the soldier was brave", he did not "display bravery". This fights against the novelist's training to avoid adjectives, so the truck "struggled to climb the steep hill" rather than "struggled due to the hill's steepness".
The above guidelines make it challenging to still write interesting text. Breaking up long sentences requires some skill and imagination. The text can become choppy. There is also a temptation to use a lot of T-words, namely The, Their, Them, They and That which makes for boring reading, especially when used for successive sentences such as in this paragraph. Curatorial knowledge is essential, good writing skills help, and editing to a 'House Style' becomes critical.
When you are next in a museum or gallery, have a look to see how many of these principles have been applied. You'll never read a museum text board in the same way again.

Writing on a Wall
Writing for museums is a skill in its own right. Tucked into a novel, you should become so immersed in the book you cease to be aware you are reading at all. In the same way, when you are in a museum, you should enjoy the objects on show and not be aware of the work that has gone into crafting those captions and text boards. The curator's voice is a whisper not a yell.
Museum curators tend to be experts in their subject, and many write academic papers and books aimed at other experts, but exhibitions require a completely different approach. The curator may have a doctorate in archaeology, but the vast majority of people who view the exhibition will not. Visitors will include school groups, Dutch tourists, Dad keeping the kids busy on a wet Saturday, students working on projects and otherwise keen museum-goers whose enthusiasm is flagging a couple of hours into the visit.
The curator is not writing 'a book on a wall' – this mistake is often made by small museums run by enthusiasts. Few people have the time or patience to read more than a couple of hundred words whilst standing in a museum gallery, and want to get to the punchline as soon as possible.
Journalists working on popular tabloid newspapers face the same challenge; complex issues need to be explained to the 'interested non-specialist' using as few words as possible. However, it is important that in doing this the museum does not 'dumb down' or become simplistic.
Tabloid news is also often told backwards, with a give-away headline followed immediately by the crux of the story and then by the events leading up to it. Many people will only look at the photo, read the headline and the first few lines of copy and never actually get into the duller detail. I admit to reading most news stories like that.
Museums address this by using 'three level text'. First comes the title on the text board, enough for people in a rush or those who don't speak very good English to learn roughly what they are looking at. Next comes a paragraph of the key information for those who want a little more detail. The third level offers additional paragraphs to satisfy the more curious, although in reality we are only talking another 2 to 300 words.
Research shows that the majority of museum text and captions are not read by the average visitor; people pick and choose which items they want to discover more about, and tend to have more appetite for reading soon after arrival than they do an hour or more later.
The curator's challenge is to not discourage the reader by making text too complex, too long-winded or too technical. 'Access' is a museum buzz-word which includes enabling maximum appreciation of the exhibition by visitors of diverse ages, educational level, cultural background and emotional maturity. Jargon and artbabble are simply turn-offs; the aim is to explain, not show off how clever we are. Museums should be for everyone, not just 'posh white people who have been to university'.
In Part 2 next week I'll be looking at some do's and don'ts for wall text.

New Year, New Novel
A New Year's Day tradition for me has been to start a new novel, or kick-start one that has been slumbering as a few chapters in rough draft. A couple of hundred words will do.
This year I got ahead of myself. With the opening three or four chapters of 'AW' already in mind, I put down the first page three days ago.
NRT is done, as far as it can be before the next round of editorial comments come back. In the attached photo I am pondering potential titles for the book. Meantime the challenge is to write the follow-up. Not necessarily a sequel, mind. Who is saying that any of the lead characters survived? Perhaps their story arcs are complete.
What I've done is start plotting two follow-up books, using the same style and tone. Both are contemporary mysteries. Why two? Firstly because I have two ideas rattling around in my head that I want to explore. Also, although starting a story is easy, there is not always a middle to explore or a neat ending to be reached. Most real-world mysteries are solved extremely quickly or drag on for years in a mess of loose ends and inadequate evidence.
An author's chat group '10 Minute Novelists' carried a story by one writer on how he uses whiteboards for plotting. To date I'd used 'plot spiders' scrawled on A4 paper, but this seemed like a great idea so whilst I was out Christmas shopping, I bought two.
The story with code name 'AW' hit a plot snag when I was two-thirds the way down that first page. A new whiteboard hung on my study wall is where I'm now planning my way around it. Perhaps the problem I hit as an author can simply be passed to the characters to solve? Meanwhile, I have both beginning and end in mind for the story code name 'DC' but need to think out a middle to tie both together.
So I'm daydreaming and doodling through post-Christmas television, starting to 'remember' the stories that have not been written yet. The chart on my whiteboard grows more complex, and I've opened two folders on my computers where the first ideas are taking root.
2018 is going to be an exciting year.
A Writer's Year
January is a hectic time at Guernsey Museum, as we turn around all the temporary exhibition spaces in three weeks. For me it means checking and proofing all the wall text, and numerous press releases. New Year's Day is also when I like to pitch into the new book – NRT in the case of 2017
In an ideal world I'd skip February. It is a miserable month whose only redeeming feature is its brevity. I escaped to Barbados and hand-wrote some major plot twists of my new novel by the pool.
March saw the splendid Alderney Literary Festival, where I talked about 'Glint" and signed a few copies. Mixing with the other authors of historical fiction/ non-fic/ biography was the highpoint though.
By April the literary year was hotting up, and I was off to Edinburgh for the annual conference of the Crime Writers' Association. As usual it included talks by ex-coppers and criminologists on real-life cases; grim stuff like the 'World's End Murders'.
May saw both Bristol Crimefest (where I didn't speak but met plenty of old friends) and the Guernsey Literary Festival (where I did both). I also interviewed Clare MackIntosh on her new book 'I See You'; great fun, and only the second time I'd done a panel interview.
June's big excitement was an emergency flight to Alderney to rescue what we could of an Iron Age burial ground sliced through by a JCB. Two days' frantic work produced a wealth of finds that would keep us busy beyond the end of the year.
I was also back in Alderney in July, working ahead of a micro-excavator within the Nunnery Roman Fort. Enough evidence was uncovered to tempt me back in 2018.
It was my third visit to the Old Peculiar Crime Writing Festival in Harrogate in July. The last two had been blisteringly hot, but this time Yorkshire was grey and rainy. By now NRT was into its fourth draft, ready to start talking confidently about it to my crime-writing colleagues and send it to my erstwhile editor for a critique.
In late August, I went on holiday leaving Draft 5 in the hands of beta readers. I got off the Rock and headed for the wide open spaces of Wyoming, chalking up something over 2,000 miles in a fortnight. Plenty of iconic sites, but the 'Great American Eclipse' was an experience never to be forgotten; in Guernsey, Wyoming of all places.
Writing from a small island comes with its own challenges; 100 miles of water separates me from the mainland's literary conventions, book fairs and library readings. In 2017 I took as many opportunities I could to combine a trip to the UK with a little literary interaction. September offered a chance to drop into the small but perfectly formed 'Morecambe and Vice' ("bring me some crime").
The big October highlight was of course the CWA Daggers Awards Dinner, the Oscars of the crime-writing world. It was lovely sitting on the 'New Blood' table meeting the hopeful nominees and the eventual winner; I imagine we'll hear more from all of them.
November was the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Cambrai, which features strongly in 'Glint of Light on Broken Glass'. I engaged in a month of subtle promotion of the book on Facebook, and by nudging local shops. Interest in the battle in Guernsey had been minimal three years ago, but via a programme of lectures, museum displays, parades and living history events it was pushed into the forefront of Guernsey's year.
So we came to December. NRT was finished , the final polish to Draft 7 being hammered out on my mother's dining room table when I should have been socialising. Having discussed the idea the previous Christmas with London agent Annette Crossland. I sent off the manuscript and in a hectic couple of weeks I was signed up with A for Authors agency. Here we are celebrating at the CWA Christmas party. A pretty good end to 2017.
And the follow-up to NRT? The first page will go down on New Year's Day. I'm also working on an artistic biography, our 'Roman Guernsey' book may finally see the light of day and 'The Story of Guernsey' will be published in German. A Merry Christmas and successful New Year to fellow writers, readers and friends everywhere.


Fall is all about the changing colors on the trees, the scent of cinnamon and pumpkin spice coming from your favorite coffee shop or bakery, and the obvious switch from the humid summer heat to crisp, fresh air. So, how do you bring these cozy fall feelings inside?
Bedly offers up some of the most affordable housing in the best neighborhoods. Whether you're looking to settle down in the up and coming hip areas of Brooklyn like Bushwick and Bed-Stuy, or yearn for an apartment closest to where Blair and Serena ate lunch on the Met Steps in the Upper East Side, or maybe you prefer another city like Boston, Bedly can save your living experience. Each neighborhood and city is sure to offer up some fall faves, like a weekly market with fresh pumpkins to carve or a nearby park to wander through on a Sunday.
Better yet, you can decorate your Bedly space and make the perfect cozy and warm apartment for fall! You've already made your space your own sanctuary, now you just need a few affordable items and you'll be wondering whether to explore the fall activities outside your place or enjoy the autumn sanctuary you've created inside.
Fall Scented Candle. Slightly obvious, but also a necessity for the perfect fall home. With scents like Pumpkin Chai, Wood Fire, Praline Pecan, Brown Sugar Chestnut, and Apple Moonshine, you can add a flair of fall to any room in the apartment!
While candles can oftentimes be overpriced and unreasonably expensive, check out your local TJ Maxx for deals, like this White Pumpkin Candle for $6.99.
Pumpkins and Gourds. About mid-way through September, these squash seem to appear out of nowhere and yet they are everywhere. While I highly recommend taking a day-trip to a nearby pumpkin patch, you can find them at almost any grocery store throughout any city. Gourds are typically also found at pumpkin patches or even apple picking farms, but Trader Joe's also sells them for pretty cheap.
Get Crafty. I understand crafts aren't for everyone, but if you and your roomies end up bored on a Friday night, why not do something different and throw together some fun fall decor? Pinterest is a great resource so you don't have to resort to the Martha Stewart Magazine from Duane Reade.
Something as simple as painting a pumpkin rather than carving one can have a different effect on a room. Fake fall colored flowers to fill the old wine bottle you use as a vase will last you the entire season. There's even a craft that suggests pouring popcorn kernels into a large candle holder (candle in the middle), which sounds to me like the easiest craft I've ever heard of, and BRB because I'm going to do that now.
So whether you paper mache leaves onto mason jars, paint cute little wood signs with the words "Hello Fall", or drink some cider while you watch your roommate struggle with the craft glue, it's an easy and fun way to add a little seasonal flair to your apartment.
Trader Joe's Cinnamon Broom ($3.99). Yes, another scent. But like I said already, fall is all about the different smells! Every year I bring home a Trader Joe's Cinnamon Broom for the corner of my living room. No, it's not the cutest and looks somewhat random (maybe Pinterest can help me with this), but, boy does it smell good! It's also more affordable than a candle, so I'm sold.
Fall Blanket. Nothing feels better during the changing of the seasons than curling up on the couch with a blanket and watching some scary movies. Or if you're me, movies like Hocus Pocus and Harry Potter, because that's about as scary as I get. Either way, making sure you have a big, comfy blanket to cozy up in makes all the difference.
If you're really getting into the season, you can buy a fall colored blanket, too! Not only will it look amazing on your couch, truly completing the look with those DIY projects you did, but you can even take it outside for a fall picnic in the park. TJ Maxx carries affordable blankets, like this one for $16.99.
STEP 1. Slice the apple and orange in thin slices, then place in the bottom of a medium-sized saucepan. Add the other ingredients, then add enough water to cover them.
STEP 2. Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a boil. I like to use a wooden spoon to gently push on the ingredients with a wooden spoon to break them down a little and help release their oils. Simmer the mixture, checking on it occasionally to make sure there is still water.
STEP 3. When the water gets low, you can either add more to keep your house smelling like fall, or turn it off and throw away the ingredients. Better yet, add them to your compost pile, since they're all natural!
Wherever you live with Bedly, you know they've taken care of the difficult stuff when leasing an apartment because they genuinely want you to enjoy your daily life experience. So take advantage of the fall season with the extra money you saved by leasing with Bedly, and bring it inside your home!


On Saturday May 24, I instructed my second last cheese making class for the spring session for Metro Continuing Education, this time I was able to get some pictures of the cheese that the students made.
All the ingredients we need for the class, that and the milk.
There are two stations to the right of the lab.
I also set up a display of some commercial moulds and some examples of cheesecloth, on the instructor's table.
The first cheese we make is a Whole Milk Ricotta using lemon juice for the acid.
Here is the nice fluffy curd just before one of the class started to scoop.
This is the first time I supplied ricotta baskets and seemed to do the trick.
Lots of fluffy white ricotta for everyone.
Honestly I was surprised by the yield from store-bought milk.
Next I demonstrated how to make a Queso Fresco, I also had some on hand for the class to sample so that they know what it will taste like in the end. I did not get any pictures, but I have described how to make it here. Lastly it was time for Mozzarella. For the purpose of the class there is only time to show how to make a "Quick" Mozzarella using citric acid. Traditional Mozzarella would have taken too long. I do not have pictures of the beginning stages, but I do have some of the great cheese that the class made.
It was great to see the look of satisfaction on the person's face when they made this.
This student was starting to work some salt into the cheese.
Ice bath soak at one group's table.
Everyone picked up on the the techniques fast.
Everyone had a mozzarella that they made to take home with them.
I was very proud of everyone in the class. They seemed to have a great time and they absorbed all that I could teach them. In the end I welcomed 11 new members to the ranks of home cheese makers.
I have another class next week in Edmonton and then I will be off to Grande Prairie to teach a class for Grande Prairie Regional College. Have Curd Knife! Will Travel!

When it comes to our mourning and how others can best help us, there's no one right way. That's because every person and every loss is unique. Not only are each of us singular individuals with unique histories and personalities, but the people we grieve the loss of-as well as the circumstances of the loss-are also one-of-a-kind. After a significant loss, what we think and feel inside, in what ways it helps us to express those thoughts and feelings, and how we feel supported by others vary from person to person and loss to loss.
According to Dr. Chapman, each of us "speaks" one of the five love languages. In other words, we feel most loved when we experience the language that is best suited to our unique personalities and ways of being in the world. We might also respond to a second or third love language, but we always prefer our primary love language.
In my articles and books about how we can support one another in grief, I've written extensively about all five of these methods of grief support as well as many more. But in reviewing Dr. Chapman's love languages recently, I also realized that grouping the various helping techniques in this way could help mourners understand and recognize which forms of support and communication might be most effective for them.
I invite you to consider the following five ways of being supported in your grief. Which love language helps you the most?
In Dr. Chapman's body of work, gifts of love are actual gifts-tangible, visible objects that we give to someone we care about as a means of expressing our affection and devotion. Â People whose primary love language is receiving gifts see presents as physical symbols of others' love and thoughtfulness.
Do you enjoy getting presents? Are you someone who displays gift items in your home and feels a burst of love and support each time you see them? If so, receiving gifts might be your love language.
If you are someone who values the love language of gifts, consider letting your friends and family know that you really feel supported by tokens of empathy. You might appreciate flowers, for example. You might also welcome gifts of special food, inspirational books, photo frames, music, candles, and ornaments.
With this love language, it can be tricky to ask for what you need. "Please give me gifts!" would be considered an impolite directive by many. Still, consider sharing what you've learned about your love language with a good friend or empathetic family member who is also an excellent communicator. Perhaps she can take on the role of explaining to others the lasting meaning and ongoing support you find in physical objects.
And when you do receive a gift, be sure to write a heartfelt note of thanks explaining your gratitude, what the gift means to you, and how you will use it. A thank-you phone call is also appropriate. Once everyone understands how you feel about gifts, you're likely to receive more of them in the future.
For many people, there is no present more precious than the gift of presence.
Do you love spending time with the people who care about you? Do you enjoy their company, even when you're not doing anything special together? Do you prefer company to solitude? If so, quality time might be your love language.
Let your friends and family know that the best way they can help you during your time of grief is simply to be there for you-literally. You crave and need their physical presence. Maybe you don't want to be alone. If so, tell them that. Maybe you like lots of people around. If so, tell them that.
Also think about how you like to spend the time you have together with others. Playing cards? Watching TV? Going out and about? Hanging out in the same house but doing separate activities? Whatever you prefer, let your friends and family know, because they may feel unsure about what to do (and what not to do).
Consider, too, if you feel supported when you have the opportunity to talk to others about your grief. In general, sharing your story of love and loss is a good idea. It helps you work through your thoughts and feelings. Bottling those thoughts and feelings up inside can seem safer, but it's actually more dangerous because it puts you at risk of becoming stuck in your grief journey.
Of course, your friends and family members aren't the only ones who can help you with this love language. Be proactive about getting involved in your community. Volunteering, participating in activities at a place of worship or community group, socializing with neighbors-these are all effective ways to build in more quality time with other people.
And don't forget that grief never completely ends. If this is your love language, you will need the healing presence of friends and family not just in the first month or two after the death but far into the future. Reaching out to plan ongoing get-togethers will help you receive the support you need.
You are so loved/strong/genuine because_______________________________________.
I have seen how you ___________________________________________.
You make a difference in the world by _____________________________________________.
If this describes you, let your friends and family know how meaningful you find it when they share these kinds of verbal messages with you. Tell them that their words of encouragement and support lift you up and help you through the darkest times.
Written words may be affirming to you as well. While they're no replacement for in-person or phone conversations, handwritten notes, emails, and even texts may also be helpful and encouraging to you. If you're a verbal griever, be sure to encourage all forms of spoken and written communications.
For some grievers, actions speak more loudly than words or mere presence. Do you appreciate help with tasks? Do you feel cared for when others go out of their way to help you with things that need doing? If so, this might be your love language.
Since the death of your loved one, have others said to you, "Let me know if I can do anything"? It's a natural impulse for friends and family members to want to do something to show their support. Usually what happens, though, is that grievers don't ask for assistance, so no assistance takes place.
So please, ask for assistance! People often do genuinely want to help, but they don't know how. Suggest tasks and to-dos that suit their strengths. Ask your gardener friends to help with yard work, for example. Ask your bookkeeper family member to help with home accounting, bill paying, or tax preparation.
If one of your friends or family members is a good administrator, you might sit down with this person and go over all of the tasks that you need help with right now. This person can then assign the tasks out to others in your circle of support.
Finally, if this is your love language and you've asked your inner circle for help with tasks but aren't receiving it, don't be reticent to reach out beyond your inner circle. Others are waiting in the wings. Places of worship, volunteer organizations, neighborhood committees-these and other service-oriented groups often have programs and maintain lists of volunteers to assist with needs such as yours. All you have to do is ask.
The griever who thrives on physical touch needs closeness. Are you someone who enjoys hugging, sitting close to others, maintaining eye contact, holding hands, and/or walking arm-in-arm? If so, this might be your love language.
If you're someone who's always valued physical touch, your friends and family members will know to expect it from you. Don't stop now! You may, however, want to emphasize to them how extra-necessary you find their hugs and physical closeness during your time of grief.
If this is your love language, you might also be more prone to physical symptoms of grief. It's common for people in mourning to experience stomachaches, heart palpitations, headaches, lack of sleep, and other physical symptoms. If bodily problems are making it hard you to function and focus on healing, it's a good idea to schedule a physical exam. Your primary caregiver may be able to help you with insomnia or other symptoms and put fears of illness to rest as well.
Those who crave touch will be soothed by regular contact. In addition to physical closeness with family and friends, massage and physical activity may help you right now. Or consider inviting someone to take a walk with you each day. Physical proximity combined with exercise and supportive conversation may be just what you need to feel loved and supported right now.
I believe Dr. Chapman's love languages offer a helpful framework for recognizing and understanding your own primary love language so that you know how to ask for and receive the most effective support in your grief. If you are interested in learning more about the love languages, you may want to read one of Dr. Chapman's books on the topic. He has written versions focused on partners, parenting children, men, and other types of relationships. The original and flagship title in the series was reissued in 2015 by Northfield Publishing under the title The Five Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts.

Life-changing, comprehensive care at Ohio State's new military medicine program
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Wounded military service members from across the country are getting specialized, life-changing care at the new Military Medicine Program at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine.
The program brings together a team of advanced reconstructive surgeons, military specialists and rehabilitation experts to help restore the health and well-being of severely injured military members. They address complicated combat injuries sustained during modern warfare and extended conflicts. Increasingly, troops have suffered severe injuries from improvised explosive devices that shatter bones, tear limbs and damage muscles and nerves. Survivors often suffer from uniquely debilitating wounds that can require a lifetime of physical and mental care.
"I knew early on in my career that I wanted to dedicate my research and skills to helping those who served in the military," said Dr. Amy Moore, chair of the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center and a peripheral nerve surgeon. "There's more to living than just being alive, and with this program we are really focused on helping service members thrive. It's an honor to be able to give back to these amazing men and women who are in pain or are living with an injury suffered while serving our country."
Using leading-edge procedures and technologies, the team of reconstructive surgeons, peripheral nerve surgeons, microsurgeons, neuroplastic surgeons, orthoplastic surgeons, rehabilitation experts and other multidisciplinary specialists work together to provide individualized, comprehensive care. They're advancing relief of nerve pain through innovative reconstruction and rewiring of nerves. Moore said they developed a new procedure to improve prosthetics by anchoring them into the bone rather than bearing weight on a socket. These types of advancements are reducing chronic pain, increasing mobility and improving the lives of combat-wounded veterans.
"Communication is a key feature of the program. No injury is the same, so we have to think creatively to come up with the solution that is best suited to the individual patient, and then construct a plan that best leverages our surgical capabilities," said Dr. Jason Souza, director of the Orthoplastic Reconstruction Program and associate professor in plastic and orthopedic surgery at the Wexner Medical Center. "Once we've identified a need, we look at what tissues we have to work with, assess how best to apply new technology, and then we try our best to use both to restore function and improve pain management."
The Military Medicine Program is already having a major impact on veterans like Nick Vogt. He lost both legs after stepping on an IED while leading his platoon in Afghanistan in 2011. Even after recovering, daily life was extremely difficult and he couldn't sit upright for more than a few minutes at a time. Finally, he found Souza who performed a 12-hour surgery that changed his life, allowing him to be more engaged with his wife and two children every day.
"For years I couldn't even enjoy a meal with my family without having to lay on my side because there was just skin on bone under my pelvis, which easily degrades and is very painful," Vogt said. "Dr. Souza was able to take a flap of skin from my back, along with layers of fat and the vessels underneath, and put that under my pelvis where I needed the padding."
Post-surgical recovery for patients like Vogt is customized to meet individual care needs, such as amputee rehabilitation, neurological rehabilitation, physical therapy of lower and upper extremities and specialty hand therapy. For especially challenging injuries, experts may recommend support groups or personalized counseling.
Souza, a Navy physician who was recruited from Walter Reed National Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., said Ohio State is the perfect location for establishing a military medicine program. Ohio is home to one of the nation's largest veteran communities, and almost 500 military members or veterans work at the Wexner Medical Center.
"My military experience has left me with a lasting commitment to do everything in my power to ensure that our wounded warriors get the quality care that they deserve. We all owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to those who chose to serve our country and sustained combat or training injuries. Their patience, perseverance, courage and determination to push the boundaries of what can be achieved through reconstructive surgery has reshaped the conversation for all patients presented with a devastating injury or illness," Souza said. "Technology and techniques that were born out of the last two decades of military conflict have been widely applied to cancer and civilian trauma care. The Ohio State University is well positioned to return the favor, by offering these veterans state-of-the-art care."
Research grants from the U.S. Department of Defense and other federal agencies are enhancing the military medicine program, which is also designed to educate more providers on how to treat complex combat injuries.

Community comes together for veteran with no family
KRIS 6 NEWS
By: Gustavo Aguirre
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Alone but not forgotten. The community came together to say a final goodbye to a decorated veteran.
The Coastal Bend State Veterans Cemetary held an Unaccompanied Veteran Burial for 75-year-old Airman First Class Billy Ray Isbell.
Isbell, who had no family, served in the United States Air Force from May 18, 1965 to May 3, 1969 and received the National Defense Service Medal.
On Wednesday, the community showed up to make sure Isbell was not buried alone.
"We as Americans owe honor to those who have passed, those who have served in the military. I'm grateful for the whole event and grateful for his service. He served the U.S. as a whole country. It's powerful", said Retired Master Chief Jonathan J. Myers.
Isbell received military honors and the Texas Veterans Land Board was there to accept the U.S flag on his behalf.


Happy New Year! Welcome to 2019—and our eagerly awaited annual issue that announces the recipient of the title 'Beauty Company of the Year: Excellence in Packaging.' Toward the end of every year, Beauty Packaging asks our online audience—currently a rapidly growing 42,000 unique monthly readers—to nominate beauty brands they feel deserve this top designation. More than 100 companies were suggested. The Top 5 were selected, and readers had a second say in determining the ultimate winner—which this year, is tarte cosmetics.
I've admired tarte for many years, so working on this article (see page 24 in this issue) has been such a pleasure, as it's allowed me to delve more deeply into the brand's history, foresight and accomplishments, as it heads toward its remarkable 20th anniversary. As you'll read, there are many reasons—both obvious and behind the scenes—that make this year's deserving winner shine brightly, from concept to package development to social engagement strategies. We hope you enjoy hearing from the dedicated team.
In a tough market, and one in which competition is only heating up, it takes a lot to stay at the top of the beauty charts. What will 2019 bring? We can only guess, but we reached out to Larissa Jensen, executive director, beauty industry analyst, The NPD Group—and a member of Beauty Packaging's Board of Advisors—for her best predictions for the coming year, which you can read on in this issue.
With industry trade shows offering an up-close view of trends, this issue spotlights a number of key features from Cosmoprof Hong Kong and the first Indie Beauty show to cross the pond to London. You'll also find previews of the co-located dynamic West Coast duo MakeUp in LosAngeles and Luxe Pack in Los Angeles—as well as Cosmoprof Bologna.
As always, Beauty Packaging will attend all these events, and we look forward to bringing you the highlights. There's a lot of ground to cover—but we'll happily lead you down the Beauty aisles. And don't hesitate to stop publisher Jay Gorga and I in our tracks.

Pellet-fired PYROLYTIC camping stove, easy to transport thanks to its strong carry bag, small size and minimum weight.
Great stability with three-cornered base which contains the controlled ventilation fan with durable rechargeable battery (included).
Rust-proof because it's 100% stainless steel.
Three practical supports for kettles, frying pans, cast-iron or aluminium grill pans to cook any type of food.
The PYRO CAMP pyrolytic system with its captivating and functional design is the result of the company's great capacity to develop new, technologically advanced ideas.
The pyrolysis process is honed for safe, long, smoke- and odour-free use.
It's never been so easy to cook or boil water in the outdoors.
As it weighs very little, it's easy to transport anywhere in its carry bag. Ideal for taking to the beach or mountains, for picnics, balconies, etc. Requires few pellets, long burning times, lightweight.
When it's lit, the magical flame draws you to it, it makes you want to lie alongside it while the water boils for a good cup of tea or infusion, or wills you to cook something tasty on a grill/in a frying pan. Simple as that, no extra parts needed.
With 700g of pellets, after just 8 minutes you can cook on a powerful flame for as long as 45 minutes.
It's totally smoke-/odour-free with negligible emissions of unburnt fuel, with full respect for health and quality of the environment. When all the pellets have been burnt, just a few grams of ash remain. If turned off earlier, the remaining unburnt fuel – BIOCHAR* – which retains carbon dioxide (avoiding dangerous increasing levels in the atmosphere) can be used as a soil fertilizer.
It has excellent resistance to rust and is easy to clean. *BIOCHAR: The byproduct of pyrolysis (90% carbon) is a powerful soil improver, which is also perfect for organic crops. Its great porosity increases the retention of water and nutritional elements which remain available to plants for longer; it also improves the structure of the soil and its mechanical properties, thus reducing the need for water and fertilizers.

In this we will learn how L2 traffic flows between ACI fabrics via different example. Before we go to the example, let's understand the traffic flow via Flow chart.
If destination MAC is known to an ingress leaf the packet is forwarded either to local port (if the endpoint is on local leaf) or to remote leaf (if the endpoint is not on local leaf).
Scenario 1: Both EP belong to same EPG with same IP subnet on different Leaf and both host knows MAC of each other. EPG belong to L2 BD.
Example 1: Both Leaf knows Source and Destination MAC in its LST and GST table.
Let's look at an example where the traffic flows between two endpoints in the same EPG in the same L2 BD; MAC addresses of both endpoints are known.
VM A is known as local to leaf switches 1 and 2 (vPC) and VM B is known as remote to these two switches.
VM A is known as remote to Leaf 4 and VM B is known as local to Leaf 4.


October 2017, Morristown, NJ – Optimus Healthcare Partners, a physician-led Accountable Care Organization (ACO), announced today that it has achieved shared savings for a fourth consecutive year through the Medicare Shared Savings Program.
As detailed in the Performance Year (PY) 2016 Financial Reconciliation Reports and 2016 Quality Performance Reports released by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Optimus was able to save Medicare $12,746,800, which netted the ACO shared savings of $5,984,601. The reports also showed that Optimus achieved an overall quality score of 95.8 percent.
Atlantic Accountable Care Organization, a health system and physician partnership which is also affiliated with Atlantic Health System, also recorded a savings to Medicare of $3,554,662, with a quality score of 93.25 percent.
Medicare ACOs are groups of doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers who come together voluntarily to provide coordinated high quality care to their Medicare patients. The goal of coordinated care is to ensure that patients, especially the chronically ill, get the right care at the right time, while avoiding unnecessary duplication of services and preventing medical errors. When an ACO exceeds quality and financial thresholds – demonstrating achievement of high-quality care and wiser spending of health care dollars – it is able to share in the savings generated for Medicare.
Optimus Healthcare Partners is a physician governed and operated accountable care organization serving its patient population in New Jersey. Optimus was founded by two physician organizations, Vista Health System and Central Jersey Physician Network, and its hospital partner, Atlantic Health System.
Optimus participates in the Medicare Shared Savings Program and similar programs with commercial healthcare insurers in the State of New Jersey.
Optimus has been successful due to dedication to the triple aim of improved patient experience and quality, improved health outcomes for our patient populations, and reduction in the burden of high costs. This achievement is through the efforts of our participating physician practices and our health system partner, Atlantic Health System, by improving access to healthcare, reducing inappropriate care, and improving the coordination of care for the patients we serve.
Optimus currently has approximately 500 participating physicians and a patient population of more than 122,000 attributed covered lives.
Atlantic ACO is a health system and physician partnership, governed and managed by physicians. It is one of the larger ACOs in the country with close to 2,000 physicians and more than 270,000 attributed covered lives, with documented success in both the Medicare Shared Savings Program and its commercial contracts.
Atlantic Health System through its management of both the Atlantic ACO and Optimus Healthcare Partners is dedicated to bringing value to the health care marketplace and creating a Trusted Network of Caring.

Abstract: This paper analyzes the potential of Eastern Mediterranean offshore natural gas discoveries to increase EU natural gas supply security. It presents an overview of, the status quo of EU-28 natural gas import dependency, the efforts to increase energy security through various measures, and the challenges to supply diversification. It further provides an analysis of the energy and offshore resource sectors of Egypt, Israel, Cyprus and Lebanon. The paper presents projections of domestic natural gas consumption needs for the years 2012–2042 and results show that potentially large quantities will be available for exports. An empirical model is used to analyze the capital and transmission costs for exporting gas to Europe via the East Med pipeline. The East Med pipeline project is discussed in the broader context of other regional supply options as well as potential U.S. LNG exports to Europe. The paper concludes that the East Med pipeline, which has been classified as a project of Common Interest by the EU, should receive policy priority as its benefits in terms of security of supply go beyond those that can be captured in a competitive market, and the positive externalities that it provides justify a 'security premium'.

Safe Outdoor Activities in New York State
Jun 15, 2020 by Richard Martin
In New York State, you're never far from nature. In fact, without having to travel much at all, you can find beaches, lakes, mountains, and trails, which means it's easy to get outdoors and safely enjoy all sorts of soul-satisfying activities. In the mood for a reflective hike in the woods? A challenging mountain bike ride or a more relaxed pedal through rolling hills? A family camping trip? New York offers all this and more. Remember to social distance and wear a mask as required by state guidelines. Call ahead and check websites and social media to make sure attractions are open and available.
Updated 6/17/21
New York has hundreds of campgrounds throughout the state, from the western reaches of Chautauqua-Allegheny and Greater Niagara to the tip of Long Island, from the Thousand Islands up north to Governor's Island in New York City. Campsites offer an affordable way to get into the great outdoors, with nearby amenities like fishing, canoeing, and hiking to add to the trip. Many campgrounds offer tent and RV sites, and some offer cottages and cabins—such as Branches of Niagara Campground, pictured. Want a more upscale experience while still getting that "under the stars" feeling? Try glamping in New York State—with well-appointed tents, yurts, and even traditional tipis.
Sculpture Parks
New York State features several of the most prominent and well-curated sculpture parks anywhere, with world-class art in stunning outdoors settings. Storm King Art Center in the Hudson Valley, known for brilliant outdoor sculptures in a scenic setting on 500 acres, is open with limited capacity and social distancing measures, with indoor facilities remaining temporarily closed. Timed-entry ticketing will be based on the number of visitors per vehicle ($20-$84) with a maximum of six people over age 5 (ages 5 and under will not be counted in the total). Art Omi, also in the Hudson Valley, is limiting visitors as its parking lot fills, but early birds to the 120-acre site get to walk among a mix of site-specific installations and rotating exhibits. Griffis Sculpture Park (pictured) in Chautauqua-Allegheny features more than 250 large-scale sculptures along its hiking trails. Both Art Omi and Griffis are open dawn to dusk depending on capacity, and are free (though donations are recommended). Opus 40 in the Catskills is the work of artist Harvey Fite, who took inspiration from Aztec and Mayan stonework as well as local quarries to create this sprawling sculpture park. A popular area attraction, it's currently open only to 30 ticketed visitors for two-hour intervals ($11 adults, $9 students and seniors, free for children under 4). As a New York City public park, Socrates Sculpture Park remains open from 9 am-sundown with social distancing protocols in place. The Queens park features a variety of contemporary sculptures in its collection and debuted a new show, "Monuments Now."
From streams to lakes to rivers to oceans—New York offers every type of fishing imaginable, in every nook and cranny of the state. Purchase your affordable fishing license, get your rod and reel and bait and tackle, and head to the nearest body of water for a day of recreation and angling. Near the Catskills? The region is known as the birthplace of fly fishing, and its streams, rivers, and creeks offer many opportunities for a relaxing day of casting. The Adirondacks is another fly fishing paradise, as well as home to lakes teeming with salmon, bass, and trout. Lake Ontario and the Finger Lakes are easily accessible for many who love freshwater fishing, while the waters around New York City and Long Island allow a variety of saltwater fishing options. Search for the fishing options nearest you on I LOVE NY's Fishing page.
One of the best ways to socially distance in nature is to head into the water in a canoe or kayak, or on a paddleboard. New York's incredible waterways offer a variety of options to peacefully paddle either solo or with family, from peaceful Chautauqua Lake to the St. Lawrence River in the Thousand-Islands Seaway to the Upper Delaware River in the Catskills to gorgeous Lake George in the Adirondacks. Motorboat enthusiasts and those who love sailing have access to glistening blue waters throughout the state, including two Great Lakes (Erie and Ontario), many great rivers (including the Hudson and St. Lawrence), the Long Island Sound, and the Atlantic Ocean. However you choose to get out on the water, please consult New York's Department of Conservation website about boating safety, permits, and other information about responsible boating.
Bicycling and Mountain Biking
Whether you're the type of bicyclist who prefers hurtling down a mountain, pedaling through city streets, or experiencing rolling hills and scenic views along your ride, you won't need to travel far with your bike in New York State. In June 2020, a new 3.6-mile shared-use path for bicyclists and pedestrians opened on the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, linking Tarrytown and South Nyack in the Hudson Valley. Also in 2020, the Empire State Trail was completed with a 750-mile multi-use trail welcoming bicyclists and hikers to explore New York State's extraordinary experiences, people and places. The 750-mile trail system connects New York City to the Adirondacks and Buffalo to Albany, including existing trails that have long been popular with bicyclists, such as the 365-mile Erie Canalway Trail—where you can also track your miles and take part in the Erie Canalway Challenge. The state also features more than 1,000 miles of rail-trails, former railroad tracks converted to paved or semi-paved trails perfect for bicycling. No matter where you are in New York, or whatever level of bicyclist you consider yourself, there's a great trail or route for you.
The thousands of miles of trails throughout the state means that New York is a hiker's dream come true. There are trail options for every level of hiker throughout the state. Many are so popular that during peak times, such as weekends, it's not advisable to visit right now, but there are many hidden-gem hikes that will allow for easier social distancing. Before heading out to a nearby trail—whether it's in the Adirondacks' 46 High Peaks, the many trails in the Catskills, or wherever—please visit the Department of Environmental Conservation's helpful hiking tips and remember to bring a mask or facial covering for when social distancing isn't possible.
Golf, Ziplining and Other Outdoor Sports and Adventures
For those with a competitive or adventurous spirit, many outdoor recreation facilities are now open with social distancing protocols. New York State offers world-class golf courses throughout the state, so it's easy to hit the links in any region. Tennis and other racket sports offer the opportunity to get outside and compete, and local courts are welcoming back players. For a serious rush and some spectacular views, find ziplining and ropes courses close to you and enjoy New York State from high above the ground!

Justin Wilson to run final four Grand-Am rounds for Michael Shank Racing
By alley August 21, 2013 12:39 PM
By alley | August 21, 2013 12:39 PM ET
With a fast, young and untamed driver on his hands, and the season quickly drawing to a close, Grand-Am Rolex Series team owner Michael Shank has made a change to the lineup his No. 6 entry. IndyCar Series star Justin Wilson, who recently teamed with Rolex Series rookie Gustavo Yacaman at the Sahlen's 6 Hours of the Glen event, has been signed to bring speed to the program and, if all goes according to plan, a calming influence to the crash-prone 21-year-old.
"Gus is rapidly developing as a racing driver; we're seeing him grow and mature at every round and with Justin, you aren't going to find a guy who brings a steadier or more analytical approach to driving than him," Shank told RACER. "Justin's the ultimate teammate in the sense that he's fast, he's relaxed, he's race winner in everything he drives, and with some of the changes we've had to make in the No. 6 recently, I thought it was best to bring Justin in for the last four races and let him work with Gus to finish the year strong."
Yacaman, who despite his youth came into Shank's Riley-Ford Daytona Prototype program with seven years of open-wheel ladder series training, started off the season with ex-Formula 1 and Champ Car pilot Antonio Pizzonia as his teammate. Outright pace was never a concern with Yacaman, but back-to-back crashes at Belle Isle in Detroit and at Mid-Ohio involving the No. 01 Ganassi entry led to the Colombian being placed on probation by the series.
With Pizzonia's sponsorship running dry last month, and little hope of the No. 6 moving up in the championship standings due to the aforementioned crashes, Shank began to experiment with driver pairings, drafting Wilson in for the Watkins Glen round and placing current NASCAR and IndyCar driver AJ Allmendinger alongside Yacaman for the next round at Indianapolis.
Wilson, who also drives for the Dale Coyne Racing IndyCar team, will complete the remainder of the Grand-Amseason which happens to fit between IndyCar rounds starting at Road America, continuing through Kansas Speedway, Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, and the series finale at Lime Rock Park.

State prosecutors (jaksa pengacara negara) may now represent state-owned and regional-owned enterprises under the recently issued Supreme Court Circular Letter No. 4 of 2014. Until now the Supreme Court had denied representation of state-owned enterprises in business disputes by state prosecutors pursuant to a now defunct Supreme Court Circular Letter.
Godang Riadi Siregar, Deputy Attorney General of Civil and State Administration confirmed that state prosecutors are ready to represent state-owned and regional-owned enterprises in business disputes with private parties.
"State prosecutors can represent state-owned enterprises and regional-owned enterprises that are subject to the Limited Liability Company Law," he stated during a seminar in Jakarta last Thursday.
Mr. Siregar explained that the state prosecutors' authority to represent state-owned enterprises is provided for under Article 30 (2) of Law No. 16 of 2004 on Prosecutors, which states that prosecutors at the civil and state administration department of the Attorney General's Office (AGO), can represent the State or the Government, before and outside the court based on a power of attorney.
He further stressed that an additional ground for state prosecutors to be able to act in this capacity is that "state-owned enterprises' money is the State's money,".
However, certain limitations are imposed on state prosecutors when handling business disputes, particularly if the dispute in question is between state-owned enterprises. If such circumstances, the AGO cannot be granted a power of attorney, "It can only mediate such disputes".
Although it may be beneficial for state-owned enterprises to be backed by the AGO when dealing with a business dispute, the implications of Mr. Siregar's views were questioned by a representative from a state-owned enterprise who cited the recent corruption case involving the management of PT Merpati Nusantara Airlines (Merpati).
At the initial stages, the Merpati case was handled by Mr. Siregar's department, which stated that there were no indications of corruption by Merpati and that it was expected that the case would not proceed to prosecution.
However, the case was subsequently transferred to the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes, who accused Merpati's management of corruption leading to the eventual prosecutionof Hotasi Nababan (President Director of Merpati) and Tony Sudjiarto (General Manager of Procurements of Merpati).
In response to this issue, Mr. Siregar stressed that the state prosecutors in his department will work professionally.
"We will not transfer data or documents of state-owned enterprises to prosecutors that are handling corruption cases," said Mr. Siregar.
Mr. Siregar also emphasized that his institution did not transfer the Merpati case documents to other departments at the AGO.
"I assert that documents that are received by the AGO are not transferred between divisions," he concluded.
