100 Views of Worthing Pier: Tall Tales, Ghosts and Imaginings
September 21, 2010 by aliceangus · 5 Comments
Earlier this year I was asked by artist Dan Thompson of Revolutionary Arts Group and www.artistsandmakers.com to create new work inspired by Worthing Pier for the tremendous Worthing Pier Day and the Made in Worthing Festival.
I recommend a visit to Worthing Pier, its not the longest or the oldest but in its fabulous streamlined charm it has all the hope of the future. When the wind blows you feel it might break loose and sail off, past the kite surfers, windsurfers and yachts, beyond the lifeboat men and fishing boats and way on out over the misty horizon and over the high seas.
I think Dan just wanted a couple of drawings but after getting the chance to explore the Pier and get to know it better I got carried away by the stories I discovered and set out to make a new series of works on paper and an animation. I'm interested in our relationship to water and how it is changing;- the life above and below the pier, in and out of the water, the characters of seaside entertainment, the ghosts of past fishermen, sailors and boatmen, all the tall tales of the sea, the lore of tides and weather, the survival of coastal communities and the feat of the engineering of the pier.
I made some visits to the Pier to explore it above and below, at low tide and high tide, walking, swimming, in a kayak… I thought very much about the icon of the pier and its visibility all along the coast. I found so many intertwined stories of lives lived, and lives imagined around the pier and decided to make a series of 100 views of the pier, partly inspired by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi's legendary 100 Views of the Moon published in 1885. The views incorporated characters from legends as well as real life.
Around 40 of my 100 Views of the Pier were installed temporarily on the Pier in September for Pier Day and the festival the remaining ones will eventually be published via Bookleteer.com and launched alongside a short film I'm working on of my explorations above and below deck.

Out to sea Seaside
July 27, 2010 by aliceangus · Comments Off on Out to sea Seaside
Alice has been invited by Revolutionary Arts in Worthing to create a new series of works inspired by Worthing Pier for Worthing Pier Day on the 12 Sept 2010 and the Made in Worthing Festival 17 – 19 Sept 2010. This is currently involving her in blustery days filming from a kayak, drawing on and under the pier, talking to people on the pier, wading on the beach, falling over the groynes and tripping over the shingle and researching history in an effort to understand the allure (and engineering) of the pier, the seaside and this particular aspect of the British seafaring relationship to water. The project links to Alice's ongoing body of work At The Waters Edge, about our human relationship to water, land and traditional knowledge of water.

At The Waters Edge: Grand River Sketches
December 3, 2008 by aliceangus · 1 Comment
As part of Proboscis ongoing creative research partnership with Waterloo, Canada based RENDER, Alice was commissioned to develop a new work specifically for the atrium of the University of Waterloo School of Architecture in Cambridge. Combining new media and traditional methods, the project reflects the Proboscis strategy of engaging the social, cultural and natural histories of specific sites and territories. Alice brought interest in rivers as life-lines, connectors and definers of place that has grown out of her long term work on Topographies and Tales.
For this project she, and RENDER Director and artist Andrew Hunter, explored the Grand River from its mouth at Port Maitland on Lake Erie to Elora. By bicycle, car, foot and kayak, they wandered through and around the numerous cities, towns, villages, communities, farm fields and industrial sites the river penetrates, defines and skirts, making focussed stops along the way at Chiefswood National Historic Site, Paris, Galt and Kitchener. Alice's inquiries have also taken her to libraries, museums and archives and into conversations with numerous individuals whose lives have been touched by the river. The resulting work is a personal and poetic reflection on a significant body of water whose role as a critical thread through the region is often forgotten or obscured by more recent grids of development, pathways of transportation and community boundaries. As with her other work At The Waters Edge: Grand River Sketches maps a dialogue between the artist and place emphasizing a process of inquiry.
At the heart of RENDER's ongoing collaboration with Proboscis is creative research grounded in local history and the built environment. Past collaborative projects have included Anarchaeology and The Accidental Menagerie. At the Water's Edge will be further developed into a publication and Proboscis will play a central role in RENDER's upcoming GROUNDWORK community garden project at rare.
Proboscis and RENDER would like to thank Robert McNair (UW School of Architecture), Paula Whitlowe (Chiefswood National Historic Site) and Joyce Majiski and Tuktu Studio in Whitehorse (where Alice spent a week working on At The Water's Edge) for their support of, and contributions to, this project.

Topographies & Tales is about the relationship between people, language, identity and place, revealing personal stories against the larger picture of how our concept of space and environment is shaped by "belonging" and "nationhood", and how boundaries, barriers and borders come to be formed.
It has included short films, essays, nine Diffusion eBooks, a Creative Lab in London and events in Dawson City, Canada and is underpinning a new body of work exploring peoples relationship to water called At The Waters Edge.
Topographies and Tales is based around a body of work that Alice Angus has been creating in collaboration with Joyce Majiski exploring the perceptions of landscape and of the North. It is driven by interests in ideas of proximity and remoteness, technology and presence, and the concept of 'wilderness' against the lived experience of a place. The works are a personal exploration of the intimate way people form relationships with their environments. They are underpinned by an exploration of how the technologies of travel and communication impact on a sense of time, from the coming of the railroad to the 'new' world of data and communications: our perceptions of geography are affected not just by knowledge, but by the way it is mediated. Beginning in the winter of 2001 Alice took the railroad across Canada, from east to west, against the historic flow, creating the film, Near Real Time. Then, in 2003, Alice participated in the first Parks Canada residency in Ivvavik National Park in the Northern Yukon. She began a collaboration there with guide Joyce Majiski which took them to Glenmore Lodge in the Cairngorms, Scotland in 2004 and Klondike Institute for Art and Culture in Dawson City, Canada in 2005 for their short film Topographies and Tales 2009.
Topographies and Tales 2009 (12.52 min)
Topographies and Tales, 2009 (excerpts 5.30min)
Using music, oral recordings, drawing, animation and storytelling to playfully unearth local and personal stories, memories and myths against a picture of how concepts of space and environment are shaped by ideas of belonging and home. A personal exploration of the intimate way people form relationships with their environments combining animation and live documentary footage, Topographies and Tales takes a meandering journey through the myths and perceptions the filmmakers encountered on their journeys in the west of Scotland and the Yukon.

Hydrous, V2 Rotterdam
August 22, 2008 by aliceangus · Comments Off on Hydrous, V2 Rotterdam
Alice Angus presented at Hydrous'08 STS and the ARTS Read Changes in Water Governance" at V2 Institute for Unstable Media in Rotterdam and organised by Katie Vann at the Virtual Knowledge Studio of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Hydrous brought together scientists, anthropolgists, filmakers and artists to look at issues and initiatives in water management and governance around the world looking across a range of issues and areas of conflict and crisis from how small desert communities manage their water source to the governance of large watersheds. Alice brought the first of her new series of eBooks At The Waters Edge to Hydrous and
discussed how her practice and the work of Proboscis finds itself emerging into dialogues around water.

IN LOVING OF ALAYSHA CARRADINE (JUNE 28, 2005 TO JULY 15, 2013)
Let us not forget Alaysha Carradine, every year on June 28 and July 15. We made her one of The 82 murdered children of Unit 1012 and Janusz Korczak's 190+ children where we will not forget her. Let us remember how she lived on this earth.
Alaysha Carradine
(June 28, 2005 to July 15, 2013)
[PHOTO SOURCE: http://www.mercurynews.com/2013/08/07/caught-in-the-crossfire-21-children-have-been-shot-and-killed-in-oakland-since-2011/]
Alaysha Carradine was an 8-year-old girl shot and killed on July 17, 2013 in the 3400 block of Wilson in the Dimond neighborhood.
Alaysha was having a sleepover at her friend's house and someone shot through the door and killed her, wounded her 7-year-old best friend, the friend's grandmother and 4-year-old brother.
There were few leads on the case. A suspect ad was released in September. SAVE held a stand-in for Alaysha on September 28th.
Alaysha's friends called her "Ladybug."
Oakland police said Tuesday they arrested two people in connection with the death of an 8-year-old girl killed at a sleepover this summer, and revealed the alleged suspects are part of a street gamg linked to at least one other homicide in Berkeley.
At a heavily attended news conference, authorities said Darnell Williams, 22, of Oakland was among those arrested, and police linked him to a separate Berkeley homicide of Anthony Madeiros, where a 7-year-old was injured.
Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley said Williams is a convicted felon and a gang member, who pulled the trigger the night of July 17 in Oakland in the 400 block of Wilson Avenue when 8-year-old Alaysha Carradine was killed at a sleepover, and her two young friends and a grandmother were injured.
Authorities said that Alaysha and the others were not intended targets, but part of a gang retaliation binge, though specifics on why Williams was allegedly at the apartment where Alaysha was staying was not made clear. O'Malley did say that Williams wanted to allegedly kill someone at that apartment, but she declined to say who. At the time, NBC Bay Area spoke to the only other person at the apartment where Alaysha was staying - Khamel Hardin, 22, whose niece and nephew were injured. Hardin's name did not come up during the news conference.
Also arrested in connection with Alaysha's death is a woman named Laquana Nuno, O'Malley said. A third person, Joseph Carol, 27, of Oakland was arrested in connection with the Berkeley homicide. All three are expected to be arraigned Thursday afternoon. One of the suspects was tracked down to Harris County, Texas.
Aside from O'Malley, Oakland Police Assistant Chief Paul Figueroa, Chief of the Bureau of Investigations Department of Justice Kent Shaw and Mayor Jean Quan spoke at the news conference.
MORE: "It's Heartbreaking, She Was Such a Sweet Girl"
Figueroa called the shooting of Alaysha "despicable," and that he hoped these arrests would bring "some justice to such a tragic" situation.
In September, police released a sketch of a possible suspect, described as an African-American between 17 and 24 years old, standing 5'7, weighing 160, and having a thin, dark mustache. He was wearing a black hooded jacket and blue jeans. A police officer at the news conference said Williams matches the description.
Alaysha's death shocked the community and beyond because of her age, and because of the brazen attack at a sleepover where other children were staying. Alaysha was sleeping over at a friend's house when she was gunned down just after 11 p.m. after she opened the door and was met with a barrage of bullets. Alaysha, who her family called "Ladybug," earned the dubious distinction of becoming Oakland's 54th homicide victim this year.
Alaysha's 7-year-old friend, her 4-year-old brother and their 63-year-old grandmother, Clara Fields, were also struck by bullets, but all three recovered from the shooting.
Also on Tuesday, Quan's office said the city of Oakland set up a memorial fund for the families of four shooting victims.
IF YOU'RE INTERESTED: Anyone who would like to help the families can drop off or mail checks to the Oakland City Center Wells Fargo located at 1221 Broadway, Oakland CA 94612. They can also walk into any Wells Fargo to drop off donations. Checks can be made out to the Antoine and Amara and Clara Fields Memorial Fund to support the York family. Checks to support the Carradine family can be made out to the Alaysha Carradine Memorial Fund. 1

"At four years old when I started Kumon, she (Kumon Instructor) held my hand and sat with me at the small tables. From then, I progressed on to a larger table independently – advancing with higher level content. Throughout the nine years in my Kumon journey, she was definitely an important character in my growth".


: : Please help me out. I'm at my wits end!!!! I live in Albany, NY. I rent the lower part of a single family home. My bedroom & kitchen windows are ground level, but the rest is a normal ground floor w/ an entry door. There is no other access from the main part of the house. When I first moved in, the owner had made a few comments about me leaving a light on when I went out. The power is included in the rent, but I noticed that he'd enter my house & turn off the lights. He's only done it once or twice, but if it's part of the main residence, do they have the right to enter anytime they wish?....Also, I've been asking him to put up gutters for over a year. The snow melts off the roof, then refreezes. It's bad enough getting dripped on whenever I walk to my car, but now, it's a total sheet of ice. He doesn't salt, or anything. I've put down sand, but I'm tired of falling all the time. I fell about 10 times last year & ended up in physical therapy for my knee. I'm normally a nice person, but I won't put up with this again this year. This isn't zoned for a multiple residence. He's been having tenants for over 10 years & doesn't report the income. I'm not alone, he has another couple renting over the garage. We all share 1 water heater. It's awful. What recourse do I have if I decide to break the lease? Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!
: i THINK THATS JUST AWEFUL.mY DAUGHTER LIVES IN aLBANY ALSO AND i SAY HER LANDLORD IS A SLUM LORD. AS FAR AS YOUR FALLING ON THE ICE AND HAVING TO GO TO PT, YOU COULD SUE THE LANDLORD. sorry bout the caps.

VOX sound booster: music game-changer
It often happens that we feel that a song doesn't sound powerful enough, although we hear lots of details it still lacks volume. This is usually the case with Hi-Res files which accent the sound quality, not loudness. However, we all sometimes want to let our neighbors hear the music we listen to. Or when there's a party the quality isn't that important. For these and similar cases what we need is a sound booster. It doesn't have to be a separate device, but some settings within the audio player you tend to use to play music. Today I'm going to show you how to boost sound using VOX Music Player for Mac and explain what makes your favorite songs sound different.
VOX Music Player is a simple, intuitive and flexible audio player for Mac users. While the default settings make it incredibly easy to use with minimal experience and guidance, I'd like to provide you with some tips on how to customize VOX to fit your personal listening taste and tech setup. Today we're covering the basics.
Before we go into the details, I suggest you download the Smart Controls Extension. It will offer more keyboard controls, as well as enable your Apple Remote and headphones to be used with VOX.
Download VOX Player for Mac
Equalizer – the best sound booster in VOX
Equalizer is a wonderful tool. It helps you "shape" the sound of your favorite music, bringing in emotional nuances of sound while taking off unwanted frequencies. It's also helpful to compensate for the less-than-perfect quality of speakers or headphones by introducing more of what is missing and reducing the stuff that is in excess.
You can use EQ to:
adjust the timbre of music to Your own preference.
compensate for the imperfect sound quality of speakers/headphones.
tune up to room acoustics or compensate for background noise.
create effects, for example, when DJ-ing.
VOX player for OS X is equipped with 10-band graphic EQ allowing adjustments with 1/10 – octave precision in frequency and in the range of +/- 12 dB in level. This is a quite powerful sound booster and signal processing instrument, that can improve your listening experience when used adequately but also when used improperly, it can spoil the quality of sound, so must be used with a bit of knowledge and caution.
The sad part is when you slide the frequency up (boost) above zero you almost inevitably bring in the notable distortion into the sound. This is because modern music is usually already recorded at maximum loudness level, and when you try to use any sound booster to increase the volume of some part of it even more – it usually results in the overflow in the digital world (clipping), hence, distortion. To compensate for this, there is a gain slider at the left side. It's used to compensate for gain changes introduced by boosting/cutting frequencies in the equalizer, in a digital domain. So If you raise up, say, 100Hz at 6 dB, lowering gain to corresponding 6 dB will ensure almost completely that distortion won't occur. This will result in a volume drop, but you will get distortion-free equalization. You can now add volume using your device volume control.

BS2B Preset
BS2B is a technology that reduces listening fatigue when using headphones. The majority of stereo music is created and produced using loudspeakers. When listening music through headphones, as technology authors say, one gets a wrong stereo image, which is different from what sound producer had in mind. This happens because, using loudspeakers, we hear both left and right speakers with both left and right ear. There's a higher level of isolation between left and right channels when you use headphones. BS2B tries to smoothly mingle left and right channels to simulate the loudspeaker setup, so in headphones, the stereo image appears just as if you were listening to speakers in a studio environment. By definition, this feature is only available on stereo tracks, and it doesn't make sense to use it with loudspeakers. BS2B is a powerful sound booster and shouldn't be ignored.
Convert Stereo to Multiple Channels
This function is for users who use multi channel output devices (4, 5.1, 7.1 channel layouts). When enabled, this feature lets stereo tracks to play nicely on a multi channel output. By default, when Convert Stereo to Multiple Channels is off, stereo tracks will play into Left and Right channels only. VOX will blends stereo information into up to 8 channels.
Volume Limit
To control the playback volume we usually use VOX main window or system volume controls. However, some tracks are quite by definition and what we can do is to use a sound booster, literally.
Volume Limit feature allows you to get even more amplification when all the stats are at maximum but you still lack volume. To do this, raise the mark above 100% and then use VOX volume control to achieve the desired level of loudness.
Remember that it must be your last resort since it usually works at the expense of the sound quality. You should make sure that before using volume control slider you've maxed the system and VOX volume.
Nowadays, music is produced with maximized loudness, and when you listen to it with more than 100% volume, it distorts the sound. Therefore, it's recommended to raise this bar only if you're going to listen through Mac's internal speakers. External devices have their own volume controls, so if possible, use those instead.
Conclusion. how to get the sound Booster?
We've reviewed best sound boosting means in VOX Music Player for Mac. Use the Equalizer to adjust the playback setting for every song to achieve the best sound. Boost the deepness of the sound for your headphones with the BS2B setting, which compensates for the division of the left and right channels. If you have a multi channel output device, you can convert the stereo sound into the multiple channel audio. And if you still lack the volume, as the means to boost your sound. Mind that it usually works because the quality is reduced.

Home > FAQ > What Is The Time Limit In QLD To Claim For Accident Compensation?
What Is the Time Limit in Queensland to Claim Accident Compensation?
Time limits apply to all personal injury claims in Queensland. As these time limits are strict and can affect the outcome of your claim, it's extremely important to understand the time limits that apply to your claim for compensation and commence the claim process as soon as possible.
At Accident Law, our car injury and work accident compensation lawyers are here to help and with our no win no fee guarantee, you have nothing to lose by having us assess your case to determine whether you are due compensation for your injuries. From our Brisbane and Gold Coast offices, we have helped countless Queenslanders get the compensation they are due for their accident injuries and our lawyers, solicitors and support teams have a wealth of experience working with personal injury claim cases like yours.
What Time Limits Apply to My Compensation Claim?
Whether you are filing a compensation claim as a result of sustaining injuries in a motor vehicle accident (e.g. car, motorbike or truck) or a work accident, strict time limits apply to your compensation claim. It cannot be stressed enough just how important it is to lodge your accident compensation claim as soon as possible. We've broken down some key elements below regarding time limits. Click the +/- to expand each section.
For personal injury claims, the category under which car and motor vehicle accident claims fall, claims for compensation must be commenced within three years from the date the injuries were sustained. However, this doesn't mean that you should wait to contact a car accident claim lawyer to start preparing your claim for compensation. Especially if you have sustained serious injuries and are unable to work.
Different time limits apply to workers compensation claim cases in Queensland. Generally, a claim for workers compensation is only considered valid if lodged within six months. 'Six months' usually refers to the date the injury was sustained but, according to the WCR Act definition, is the day on which the worker is assessed by a medical practitioner.
It is important to note that if a claim is lodged more than 20 working days (4 weeks) after the injury was sustained, WorkCover's liability to pay work injury compensation is limited to 20 business days before the application lodgement date. WorkCover Queensland is the government-owned statutory body which provides workers' compensation insurance in Queensland. It is mandatory for all employers in Queensland to hold an accident insurance policy with WorkCover.
If you have been injured at work or you were involved in an accident and your injuries are not yet apparent, it is imperative that you report the injury or accident to your employer or supervisor and have it officially recorded. It is a legal requirement that all workplace injuries are recorded and this will help to get the best possible outcome for your workers compensation claim case. As will having an experienced work accident compensation lawyer assist you with your claim.
The paperwork with compensation claims, whether a workers compensation claim or a claim for truck accident compensation, is complex and it helps to have an expert assist you with the forms to ensure they are completed correctly. We do all the paperwork for our clients to ensure fast and correct processing for you.
What Happens if I Don't Make My Compensation Claim Within the Time Limits?
If you don't lodge a claim for compensation within the designated time limits, you must provide good reasons why you should be allowed to proceed with your claim. You should also note that there may be issues with finalising your claim.
However, if you have missed the time limits you have nothing to lose by contacting us and having one of our car injury or work accident compensation claim lawyers assess your case. There may be extenuating circumstances which enable you to proceed with the claim despite exceeding the time limits. Should you choose Accident Law to assist with your claim for workplace accident compensation, you'll be covered by our no win no fee guarantee as well as the '50/50' rule.
I Have Heard That There Is a 6-month Time Limit with Some Cases. Is That True?
Yes. The six-month timeframe applies to workers compensation claims (see above). However, you should still contact us if more than six months have passed since your injuries occurred as we may still be able to assist you with your claim for compensation.
What Happens if My Injury Occurred Over a Period Of Time? Do Time Limits Still Apply?
Yes. Time limits are still strict for injuries that occur over a period of time, for example, Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs) such as tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. It can be difficult to determine when such injuries occurred, but our work injury compensation lawyers have extensive experience with RSIs and can refer you to medical specialists.
While you may have missed the time limits, contact us as soon as possible if you feel you may have a claim. One of our accredited and experienced work accident compensation lawyers will be able to provide you with professional advice regarding time limits and your right to claim workers compensation.
Is It True That Workers Compensation Claims Have Only 20 Days to Bring Appeals?
Yes. The time limits in workers compensation claim cases are very strict and many cases only allow 20 days to bring an appeal. This is why it is so important that work injury claims are commenced as soon as possible and managed by an experienced lawyer specialising in work accident claims.
Due to the strict time limits that apply to motor vehicle (car, motorbike and truck) and work accident claims for compensation, it is imperative to have your case assessed by an accredited lawyer as soon as possible.
If you have been injured in a road accident or at work and believe you have the right to claim compensation, call Accident Law on 07 5531 4444 or complete our contact form at the footer of every page and we'll get back to you.

BirdingBirdsongs
Birding by ear takes plenty of work, but the rewards last a lifetime
by Beverly Mills Gyllenhaal June 24, 2020
Second of two parts
After months of hoping to find this outlaw of a bird, finally, we were close. Very close.
A male Hooded Warbler in Pisgah National Forest / Photos by Anders Gyllenhaal
Coming from a dense stand of old-growth trees in the Pisgah National Forest in Western North Carolina, I could hear this miniature Robin Hood galloping along on his horse. Then he'd toss his hat in the air with a triumphant – but very quick — "Woo-hoo."
That's how I visualize the Hooded Warbler singing – three gallops followed by a two-beat, joyous crescendo. It's is my trick to remember the difference between this warbler's song and any of his 36 tiny wood-warblering cousins.
If you clump them all together, the 37 warblers that are likely to sing, chip and chirp in the eastern half of the country can make more than a hundred sounds. But the cool thing is, every one of those sounds is unique to just one bird.
When they're camouflaged by dense foliage, which songbirds often are, the only way to tell if a particular bird is close is to hear it. Suddenly your odds for finding – and photographing — the bird increase exponentially. (For a recording of the Hooded Warbler, click here.)
Like learning a language
At the heart of it, birdsong is a foreign language. Every bird speaks its own, minus the mockingbird and a few other mimics. More than 100 species can be nearby at any given time, depending on the season and habitat. The resulting cacophony at dawn in springtime is beautiful, astonishing and overwhelming.
A dedicated birder makes a rare find and the nation's capital is buzzing
by Beverly Mills Gyllenhaal January 31, 2019
When a Dickcissel turned up in the wrong place at the wrong time last week, Scott Stafford, one of Washington's top birders, just happened to be in the right place at the right time to find it.
D.C.'s Dickcissel rummaging in the brush.
Less than an hour later, a small swath along the banks of the Potomac was buzzing with birders pointing their cameras into what amounts to an oversized ditch. There among the mix of mud and twigs hopped a small sparrowlike bird carefully concealing its brilliant yellow breast.
"At first I thought it was just another White-throated Sparrow," Scott said. "But then he popped up, and there was so much yellow. I'm like, Holy Crap!"
What Scott did next made him late for work. It also made him the hero of the moment in Washington's very active birding community. Nabbing a rare sighting like the out-of-range Dickcissel comes along maybe once in a season – and being the person to claim it is rarer still.
Scott Stafford with a Florida Scrub-Jay.
"I took a photo and immediately posted it out on the D.C. Rare Bird Alert," Scott said. "Then I stayed on the bird to help direct birders who said they were on their way to find it, so if it flew off, they'd know what direction."
Flying Lessons clearly states that our website is about "What We're Learning From the Birds." But in talking with Scott the other day about his experiences, I realized that what we're learning from other birders can't be stressed enough.
While Anders and I are usually plotting our next birding adventure away from the big city, Scott is patiently stalking everything within a few miles of home. He's seen 226 species in the D.C. area alone – more than my entire Life List from around the country and beyond.
"In order to see birds it is necessary to become a part of the silence."

Gustafsonia is an extinct genus of carnivoran belonging to the family Amphicyonidae (a bear dog). The type species, Gustafsonia cognita, was described in 1986 by Eric Paul Gustafson, who originally interpreted it as a miacid and named it Miacis cognitus. It was subsequently considered to be the only species of the diverse genus Miacis that belonged to the crown-group Carnivora, within the Caniformia, and it was ultimately assigned to the family Amphicyonidae. The type specimen or holotype was discovered in Reeve's bonebed, western Texas, in the Chambers Tuff Formation in 1986. The University of Texas holds this specimen. It is the only confirmed fossil of this species.

Morphology

Fossil
The holotype is missing the mandible, upper canines, and zygomatic arch. The remainder of the skull is damaged, but relatively intact.

Teeth
It preserves the old style of many teeth, probably having forty-two, as compared to most modern carnivorans in the low thirties. With the later species of Miacis, the size of the certain teeth were decreasing, namely the foremost premolars. These teeth would eventually be lost all together, resulting in the fewer number of teeth seen in most modern carnivorans, especially feliforms, including extant hyenas, viverrids, herpestid, and the famously few-toothed felids. Most members of Miacoidea have forty four teeth, so this advanced species has already lost two bottom premolars. Though the upper canines are missing, these teeth can be reconstructed due to the foramen for the tooth root remaining intact. These canines were not particularly long or short, though they were not stout or shaped for great stress. The molars of this species were small and not suited for grinding large amounts of material. The premolars show carnassial form that makes carnivorans unique and were good for slicing rather than crushing or grinding.

Comparison to modern species
The skull of G. cognita is long and low. In skull morphology, the African palm civet, Nandinia binotata takes the prize of looking most like its distant relative.

Digital morphology and CT scanning
The information core for the Digital Morphology library is generated using a state-of-the-art high-resolution X-ray computed tomographic (X-ray CT) scanner. This instrument is comparable to a conventional medical diagnostic CAT scanner, but with greater resolution and penetrating power. The CT scanner was custom built and optimally designed to explore the internal structure of natural objects and materials at mega- and microscopic levels. This instrument is at the center of The University of Texas High-Resolution X-ray Computed Tomography Facility (UTCT), a designated NSF-supported Multi-User Facility.  Now in its seventh year, UTCT has scanned hundreds of rocks, meteorites, fossils, and modern organisms, providing unique data and visualizations for a wide range of interests in education and research.

The holotype of Gustafsonia cognita was made available to the University of Texas High-Resolution X-ray CT Facility for scanning by Dr. Timothy Rowe of The University of Texas at Austin, Department of Geological Sciences. The specimen was scanned by Richard Ketcham on 3 December 2007 along the coronal axis for a total of 1010 slices. Each 1024×1024-pixel slice is 0.08551 mm thick, with an interslice spacing of 0.08551 mm and a field of reconstruction of 40 mm.

Surface views allow one to roll, pitch, and yaw the specimen to see the fossil as though you were holding it in your hand. A second series is much more in depth slice movies, with coronal, transverse, and sagittal slices of the fossil. The last series is a dynamic cutaway from coronal, transverse, and sagittal angles as well.

Evolution
The mass extinction of the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event left many ecological niches open and powerful competition to fill them. Species who previously had needed to be small and hide as a way of life suddenly had the requirement released and there was a strong pressure to get big and successful. The Paleocene was a period of struggle in which  animals that had been occupied with avoiding being eaten by dominant species, namely the dinosaurs, were suddenly competing against each other to become the next dominant organism. Most mammals were small, many the size of rabbits, few exceeding the size of cats. The competition between the two groups of predatory mammals, the creodonts and the Carnivoramorpha, resulted in the better adapted creodonts occupying the position of top predators. As the Eocene continued, they were the dominant hunters and the carnivorans remained relatively small, staying out of the way. Miacis lived during this period. Miacis belongs to the stem-group Carnivoramorpha that began to diversify during the middle and late Oligocene. Two major lineages appeared, the feliformes (cats, hyenas, civets, palm civets, etc.) and the caniformes (dogs, bears, pinnipeds, skunks, ferrets, etc.). The tables began to turn and the creodonts were struggling during the late Oligocene when the carnivorans, while small, were well off. Open niches left by extinct predators were quickly filled by the small carnivorans, and they became larger and more diverse until their peak in the Miocene when the last of the creodonts had died out.

Ecology

Reeves bonebed is well known for its oreodonts, especially Bathygenys. This oreodont, related to modern llamas, is very common in the formation, and being small for an oreodont at about thirteen pounds, it would have been hunted by Miacis regularly. The creodont Hyaenodon was also present in the fossil bed, and it is probably that this larger creodont hunted the larger oreodont Merycoidodon who, at over two hundred pounds, would have killed attacking Miacis. The large brontothere Menodus would have been far too large for Miacis, and if anything would have been a danger for the small carnivore. Miacis would have avoided this species completely to avoid injury from massive perissodactylid. The medium-sized herbivores Agriochoerus, Hyracodon, Mesohippus and Leptotragulus,  were again probably Hyaenodon prey and Miacis would have left it alone completely. Leptomeryx inhabited the same range and was smaller. Its young would have been ample prey, and the adults might have been tackled. The rodent Ardynomys was of perfect size and would have been hunted by Miacis. Within the region, there were many smaller rodents, and with so many animals in the area that were too large for Miacis to kill, it is likely that the small animal, somewhere between the size of a cat and a begal, would have been a prolific rodent hunter and a hunter of Bathygenys.

Cladribine Plus Upfront Rituximab Shows Promise in Hairy Cell Leukemia
Conference | American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting (ASCO)
Researchers tested simultaneous vs delayed rituximab with cladribine in patients with hairy cell leukemia.
Cladribine plus simultaneous rituximab led to a greater frequency of minimal residual disease (MRD)-free complete response in patients with hairy cell leukemia compared with delayed rituximab. It remains to be seen if MRD-free complete response holds promise for a cure, but the results prompted excitement for further study. These results (abstract 7003) were presented at the 2019 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.
Single-agent purine analogs like cladribine are the standard of care for hairy cell leukemia and achieve good complete response rates, but relapses do occur and there is no plateau of survival even in the presence of complete response.
Positive MRD status is associated with shorter disease-free survival in hairy cell leukemia, but MRD status after cladribine therapy, with or without concurrent rituximab, has not been well studied. There is ex vivo evidence that rituximab may make cancer cells more vulnerable to cladribine.
"It looked like very impressive results on the combination of upfront cladribine and rituximab, resulting in a very prolonged overall survival and also a high percentage of MRD negativity. The data look very good. It looked like the concomitant upfront administration is better," said Gail Roboz, MD, of Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, who moderated the session.
In the study, researchers randomized 68 patients with previously untreated hairy cell leukemia to cladribine plus rituximab or to cladribine alone (delayed rituximab). After at least 6 months, both arms could receive 8 weekly doses of rituximab if flow cytometry was positive in blood or they still had abnormal complete blood count associated with hairy cell leukemia. All patients were allowed up to 2 courses of rituximab, so the delayed group could receive a further course if needed.
The two treatment groups had similar baseline characteristics, except that the delayed group had slightly higher hemoglobin levels at baseline (12.8 g/L vs 11.8 g/L; P = .037).
The median follow-up was 7.7 years. To test for MRD-free complete response, the researchers used peripheral blood flow cytometry, bone marrow immunohistochemistry, and bone marrow flow cytometry. At 4 weeks, all 3 tests were negative in 62% of the combined group and 9% of the delayed group (P < .0001). At 6 months, 100% of patients in the combined group had a complete response, as did 88% in the delayed group; 97% in the combined group had MRD-free complete response compared with 24% in the delayed group (hazard ratio [HR], 0.035; P < .0001).
Among those who achieved MRD-free complete response, 33 of 34 patients in the combined group were MRD-free at 100 months. Twenty-one patients in the delayed group also eventually achieved MRD-free complete response, but the durability was greater in the combined arm (HR, 0.12; P = .025).
Grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia was more common in the concurrent arm (59% vs 9%; P < .0001), but this was not associated with significant bleeding.

The Glossop Community Allotment (whose new website is here) aims to get as many different people as possible from across Glossopdale to enjoy and benefit from the wellbeing boost which comes from planting, tending and harvesting fruit and vegetables.
The project is managed by Be Well and we have set up a Men in Sheds project (where older men come together to do purposeful work and enjoy each other's company), our Women in Wellies session marketed as a "social group who garden" and in June we will start our Friday Work Party where anyone who wants to can "muck in" and garden. We also host the county council's Brightside project for people with low level mental health problems and the Glossop Arts Project who use Art to raise Wellbeing.
We also expect that other groups – Guides, Scouts, schools or care settings for elderly people – might want to be part of the project and we would really like to be clear that any individual who would like to "do a bit of gardening", but whose personal situation is stopping them, can come to the Allotment and share the joy of growing plants.

Stuco traveled to Garden Plain on Nov 15 to attend their annual league stuco meeting. This year's theme was communication and the members took part in an escape room to practice these skills.
Escape rooms are an activity that is designed to get students together and work together to complete tasks that require teamwork. This year's theme for the escape room was "zombies". Students had to decipher codes and clues to unlock multiple things like a weapon box and a door and then when everything was unlocked,collected golf balls and shot zombies with them.
"My favorite part of the trip was the escape room, I really liked the challenges and getting to know people that I didn't before," freshman Sadie Schmanke said.
Students have said they enjoyed this trip and was well worth it and want to do more activities like this. They also listened to a speaker at their meeting and ate lunch.
"My favorite part during the visit was the discussions because it gave us a chance to be interactive with the other schools," sophomore Kyler Alloway said.
Being given the opportunity to work with other schools can give stuco members ideas on how to make students in our school be interactive with each other and others.
"It was really beneficial because we got to communicate with other schools and we learned a lot while we were there," sophomore Karlee Osner said.

Last month I wiped out my Nikon camera while rescuing another kayaker. Got another camera and bought the Aquapac Small Camera Case with a hard lens cover. The case is waterproof and has a 5 year warranty. My Lumix camera fits inside and when the zoom lens extends, it's protected by the attached lens cover. Works perfectly and the case IS waterproof..I used it to take pictures while teaching a kayak class...thru capsizes, re-entries, without a drop of water getting in the case. The picture above is for the small camera case NOT the case with a hard lens.
The best feature is that the case is waterproof. Second, it allows very clear photos to be taken thru the lens housing.
The case is of very tough plastic but flexible enough to work the controls of the camera.
The only negatives I can think of is that the dessicant packs that come with the camera could open and spill onto your camera...but even they come sealed in a separate plastic bag.
Aquapac makes many waterproof cases for items (various size cameras, phones, tablets, nanos, etc).
For small point and shoot cameras, their Small Camera Case works well. My Lumix has a lens that extends about 1 1/2" so I ordered the Aquapac Small Camera Case with Hard Lens. The case is made of a tough clear plastic and has a housing attached via a waterproof seal which allows the lens to fit easily and for photos to be taken through a clear acylic lens cover. The case is sealed by rotating two levers at one end of the case towards the sides of the case, at which point they lock with a pressure fit. This is a common method of sealing cases and found on a lot of waterproof cases for VHF radios, GPS's and such. It is very effective.
The plastic is flexible enough that you can operate the controls of your camera, though it make take some practice to line up the lens with the lens housing and use the zoom. Once the camera is on, the extended lens will stay within the housing and lets you zoom in or out quickly. It's not the same as having a $200 external housing made specifically for your camera, but the Aquapac case does work and protects your camera.
There is a 5-year warranty on the case, however this does not cover the value of the contents.
I've used my case when teaching kayak classes...capsizing and doing rescues and had no problem with the case remaining waterproof. I do pay attention to not let anything scratch the surface of the lens housing as that will affect any photos taken thru the lens cover.
One point to note is to make sure to not extend your camera lens TOO far as it can scratch the inside of plastic lens on the waterproof case. Adding a thin shim of plastic to the front of the camera lens housing handles this). Yes...this is hindsight speaking as I managed to scratch the Aquapac lens and had to buff it out. A shim makes more sense.
Additionally, I read one review where a bag of the dessicant powder that comes with the case opened up and wrecked one persons camera...the dessicant comes contained in a separate sealable bag so it shouldn't be a problem if used properly.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the product. I paid about $45 for the Hard lens case after looking around on the net. Prices ranged from $45-65. I saw a number of cheaper cases but without the same type of closures and without warrenty. Those weren't worth it to me.
NOTE: there is a difference between the Aquapac Small Camera Case (which is pictured) and the Small Camera Case with Hard Lens which is what I reviewed, and also costs more.
The Aquapac Mini Camera Case with Hard Lens is not available from the stores we monitor. It was last seen August 9, 2018	at SunnySports.

Q: Invalid token, state does not match - Auth0 Error Safari only while using parseHash function in Auth0 library in safari I am getting error
Same code is working fine in chrome. what can be possibly done to resolve this issue?
handleAuthentication = (onSuccessCallback, onErrorCallback) => {
    console.log('handle auth', this.authservice);
    this.authservice.parseHash((err, authResult) => {
      console.log('authresult inside', authResult, 'error', err);
      if (authResult && authResult.accessToken && authResult.idToken) {
        this.setSession(authResult, onSuccessCallback);
      } else if (err) {
        // onErrorCallback();
      }
    });
  };

A: After lots of research and article exploration, I finally found a solution to this issue.
As auth0 is unable to access state and nonce parameters which are required for forwarding to check login details therefore we can manually add it for the authentication flow to work without any issue.
login = () => {
    this.authservice.authorize(
      {
        nonce: ${randomString},
        state: ${randomString},
      }
    );
  }

handleAuthentication = (onSuccessCallback, onErrorCallback) => {
  this.authservice.parseHash(
    {nonce: ${randomString}, state: ${randomString},
      (err, result) => {
        // some code
       }
     );
   };

Hope it works for you too!!

On Monday, May 23, the government of India announced that it would invest $500 million (USD) in the development of the Iranian port of Chabahar. The long-rumored deal was fostered in part by last year's nuclear deal with Iran, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The "historic" deal not only opens a trade route through Afghanistan and into Central Asia that bypasses India's enduring rival, Islamabad. It marks India's emergence as a rising power in the Middle East.
In the first visit by an Indian head of government to Iran in fifteen years, Narendra Modi said, "We want to link to the world, but connectivity among ourselves is also a priority. The corridor would spur unhindered flow of commerce throughout the region. Inflow of capital and technology could lead to new industrial infrastructure in Chabahar." India is to begin paying Iran back for $6 billion in energy purchases (it made a payment of $750m last week). Other agreements were signed, including accords on banking, petrochemical and technological issues as well as anti-terrorism.
The Chabahar deal has at least three potential implications for India as well as the West: first, it represents a major shift in India's attitude toward the Middle East; second, it has the potential to facilitate the oft-discussed U.S. "pivot" or "rebalancing" to Asia; and third, provide an additional enforcement mechanism for JCPOA.
Traditionally, India has had a policy of "non-interference" in the region. Since the Modi government came to power that stance has begun to change. India has had strong economic ties to the Gulf due to the presence of roughly over 7 million ex pats in the region. Half of those 7 million expats reside in Saudi Arabia. 70% of India's crude oil comes from the Gulf; 85% of its natural gas comes from Qatar. India has had to take a higher profile in the region due to America's declining energy dependence and fears associated with U.S. military withdrawal, as well as the rise of Islamic State of Iraq and al Sham (ISIS).
Unlike his predecessors, Modi has raised India's profile in the Middle East. After Pakistan refused to supply troops for Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen, King Salman signaled his displeasure by signing five agreements with New Delhi. These included understandings on intelligence sharing on terrorism financing and enhancing defense cooperation. The agreement with Iran is one of a series of initiatives pursued by the Modi government designed to increase India's influence in the region.
An obvious source of concern is a potential naval arms race between India and China. However, increasing Indian and Chinese interests in the Middle East and growing naval capabilities make both responsible stakeholders with respect to JCPOA, ensuring Iran remains a latent nuclear power. (NOTE: China was one of the signatories to the Iran nuclear deal.) Matthew Kroenig argues that great powers oppose nuclear proliferation among allies and adversaries alike. Proliferation places a ceiling on great powers' ability to project military force, limits their ability to engage in coercive diplomacy, sets off chains of reactive proliferation, (further) destabilizes regions and undermines alliances. A nuclear Iran, even with a small arsenal along the lines of North Korea's, would interfere with both states' ability to project force in the region. Even if the security dilemma is exacerbated between China and India, their growing ability to project power compels each to keep the pressure on Iran to stay inside of its nuclear box.
The Chabahar port deal signals India's growing influence in Central Asia, the Middle East and the IOR. It represents a shift in India's traditional stance of non-interference in the Middle East and provides a potential partner to take up some of America's commitments should Washington revisit militarily rebalancing to Asia in the future. Finally, it also has a greater stake in helping enforce JCPOA by deepening its relationship with Iran and expanding its naval footprint.

Int'l Critics Line: Todd McCarthy On Pedro Almodovar's 'The Human Voice'
'The Cartel' Author Don Winslow In Two-Book HarperCollins Deal
Bad Robot Leans Into Animation, Taps John Agbaje For Senior Veep Role
July 21, 2016 8:30am
EXCLUSIVE: In a multimillion-dollar publishing deal, The Cartel author Don Winslow has moved from Random House to HarperCollins Publishers, where he will publish his next two novels through the William Morrow imprint. The novel titles aren't being revealed at this point, but sources said that the first will be shopped shortly to studios, producers and filmmakers. That novel is a contemporary tale set in New York with a strong lead role. It will be published next summer through William Morrow here, and in the UK by HarperCollins UK Crime & Thrillers publisher Julia Wisdom, as well as in HarperCollins' foreign-language markets. Winslow held onto publishing rights in Germany, Spanish-language territories and Italy, where his works have a strong following.
More 'Cartel' From Author Don Winslow
The second book will complete the epic war on drugs trilogy that Winslow started with The Power Of The Dog and continued with The Cartel. Latter was one of the best-reviewed books of 2015, and it sold at auction in a multimillion-dollar deal to Fox, where Ridley Scott plans to direct it. Deal was negotiated by William Morrow vice president and executive editor David Highfill and The Story Factory's Shane Salerno. Winslow separately has a deal with William Morrow to co-author with Michael Mann a fact-based novel about two historical figures that changed the face of organized crime. That one will be published through Michael Mann Books, the multi-book imprint that Highfill secured for HarperCollins last April.
"Don Winslow is a daring and bravura storyteller, and his work is full of characters and language at once frightening, funny, heartbreaking and wholly original," Highfill said. "There is really no one like him, and it's a huge honor to have the opportunity to work with him."
Winslow said he was "very excited to be working with David Highfill and the entire team at William Morrow/Harper Collins. I have watched closely how strongly they support their authors and how well their books are distributed around the world. These two new books mean a great deal to me and are the product of years of exhaustive research."
Winslow, a former private investigator, has written 19 novels, and his books have been catnip for filmmakers. His books have attracted in one form or other Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mann, Oliver Stone (who helmed the Winslow novel adaptation Savages), Robert De Niro, Peter Berg and William Friedkin. His titles include The Winter Of Frankie Machine, The King Of Cool, and A Cool Breeze On The Underground. DiCaprio is attached to star in and produce the Winslow novel Satori at Warner Bros.

Q: how to refer variables in JSON file? I have following JSON data which I'm trying to use in python.
{"tag": "currency",
         "patterns": ["What is dollar rate in PKR", "Convert Dollar to PKR", "Convert USD to PKR", "What is Euro rate", "Convert Euro to PKR", "GBP rate in PKR", "British Pound Rate in PKR"],
         "currencies": ["Dollar", "USD", "US Dollar", "Euro", "Pound", "British Pound", "GBP"],
         "responses": [""],

        "context_filter": ""
        },

Also below is my python script:
  if i['tag'] == 'currency':
     if i['currencies'] == 'USD' :
        engine.say(data.USD_PKR)
     if i['currencies'] == 'pound':
        engine.say('I can\'t tell about Pound Yet')

What I want to do is making this script check two conditions:
1: It checks if the tag is matched (i.e Currency)
2: It checks the currency names from currency names.
My python chatbot reads the data from this json file. I want the chatbot to tell me currency rates to 'PKR' which is currency of my country.
the 'patterns' are basically the questions which user will ask from the chatbot.
I can write code to get currency rates of above mentioned currencies
But I can't figure out how to write a code so that it tells me rate of only that currency which I asked it in command line.
For example:
Me: What is USD rate?
Bot: 105.4 PKR
Me: What is GBP rate?
Bot: 110.66 PKR
Me: What is Euro rate?
Bot: 125.3 PKR
I can get the conversion rates one by one, by scrapping a website and printing the results to command line. So that part is done.
I need to modify the Questions data so whenever a currency is mentioned in question, python script finds the rate for that particular currency which is mentioned in the Question.
Hope I have explained it correctly.
Any suggestions?

A: You could use regexp:
import re

question = input('What do you want to do?')
currency_to_convert =  re.findall('What is (\S*)', question, re.S)
print (*currency_to_convert)

Will print out the currency you want to know the rate from...

Q: Visual Studio - Add folder to bin/Debug automatically Is there a way to "Copy to Ouput Directory" a folder, not only a file.
I am developing a console application and i want to have a specific folder where the console application will write its logs.
For example, when i build my application in the ProjectName/bin/debug is the executable with all files it needs to run properly. I would like to have a folder there so when I zip this folder and send it to someone, he/she would not have to create it on his/her own. ( this is the folder where my application creates its logs
Every time i build the application I will have to create the folder automatically unless there is an option as "Copy to Ouput Directory" but for folders or something...

A: You can do that via a post-build event. Right-click your project => properties => Build Events => "Post-build event command line". Use mkdir in combination with the macros to get to your output directory.


This is my first Alexandra Ivy story. She is an author that I've been wanting to try for a long time now, so when I saw that she had a new romantic suspense out with a narrator that I already knew I liked, I decided to jump on the chance to try her out. I'm really glad that I did. I really enjoyed her story. It has also been a little while since I read a romantic suspense, which is a genre that I do love, so it was really nice to get back into it.
Rafe Vargas is straight out of the military and back from Afghanistan. They not only had to deal with the trials of war, but also with being prisoners of the Taliban. That is something that will bring a group of guys together better than anything else, even better than blood will. Rafe and his friends are determined to stay together, so that they can continue to have each other's back. They decide to use their unique skill sets to start a security company in Texas. Rafe, however, is called to go cellout his estranged grandfather's house in Iowa after his death.
Annie White comes back to Newton, Iowa after she starts to dream of women getting killed again. He father was known as the Newton Slayer. He was known to have killed seven women when Annie was just ten years old. Her father was killed in jail before he could ever stand trial. Now 17 years later, it all seems to be happening again.
Rafe and Annie stumble upon each other while in Newton together. They didn't know each other before. Rafe had never even been there, since he didn't know his grandfather and had no use for the man. He is quickly attracted to Annie and goes into alpha/protect mode very quickly. There are several people in the town who are not real happen to see Annie back, especially since the killings are back. Rafe makes it his business to protect Annie from these people. Plus, she seems to have a secret admirer.
This was a fun story. It has action, suspense and plenty of drama. We get to meet the heroes of future books as members of the ARES team refuse to let Rafe handle this situation on his own. The romance is a little quick and a little over-the-top alphamale. Rafe decides that Annie will be his, no matter what. But, it was a great story. I think the other stories will be fun as well.
Jim Frangione is a narrator that I've liked for a long time. If you've ever listened to J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood, you've listened to Jim Frangione. I know that there are some people who are not a fan of his work, but I like him. I always thought his fit the Brothers. He fits these guys too. The ARES guys even wear the same Shitkickers. LOL. There were points where one of the guys were saying "True" in the actual sense of the word, and I was thinking more along the lines of the BDB guys, but that's okay. It was only like once. Anyway, I like Frangione. If you've never tried him, I suggest you give him a shot.
I haven't read anything from her either. I like the sounds of this series with the ex-military guys working together again. Plus, the narrator I'm familiar with, too. Awesome review, Melanie!
It was a fun book. I hope you get a chance to try it. I'm excited to see where it goes in the future.
Sounds like for the most part this is one that is easy to get into even if the romance is a bit over the top. I am sure I would like the supsense.
I really enjoyed the suspense in this one.
Alphaholes can sometimes bother me, but it sounds like it doesn't get too bad it overshadows the story. Might be something I would enjoy.
I think the overprotectiveness comes from a good place. There is a serial killer in town. That would make anyone overprotective.
I know some other people who don't like him. He seems to be either you love him or hate him. I like him quite a bit, especially with guys like the brothers and military type alpha males.
He isn't my #1 male narrator. Robert Petkoff would probably take that slot. But, I do like Jim Frangione. He would probably be in the top five male narrators.
Sounds like a good way to try out a new to you author with a narrator you already like. I am trying to read some more romantic suspense this year as it's a genre I haven't read as much from so far. The hero does sound a bit too alpha male indeed, but overal it sounds like a nice read. It's always fun to meet the main characetrs of future books. Great review!
Lola recently posted…Lola's Ramblings: How can expectations influence your enjoyment of a book?
Thanks Lola. I did enjoy this book. I think the series will be good one. I hope you find some good romantic suspense to try. It is a genre that I enjoy.
I've only tried a book by her, a PNR one but I was really disappointed in it so I confes I never tried more but I didn't know about this one, maybe I should see how it is.
I've seen some of her PNR books around and have wanted to try them, but haven't gotten around to it. I'm sorry that one didn't work for you. I'm usually hesitant too once I try an author and I didn't like it to try another book by them.
I felt the same way. I hadn't read a romantic suspense in a while and definitely felt like it was time. I hope you enjoy.
Action and suspense..this looks good. I am glad you met the rest of the team. It looks like each book will focus on a mission and couple..just how I like um!
I have missed the romantic suspense genre. I hadn't read one in a while. It was fun to get back into it. I did like that you meet the entire team up front.
I knew you wouldn't be interested in listening to this one. It is a fun book that I think you would enjoy reading.
I am super duper (yep, I said that) surprised that you haven't read Ivy before this!!! I had to go back to my GR TBR to see if I had her on my list and I don't!!! I thought I did b/c I had interest in Born in Blood a while back, ya know, PNR and all that!
Alexandra Ivy has been on my wishlist for a while, but just never picked her up. I'm surprised at this as well. She has so many PNR series with shifters no less. It is very surprising that I haven't tried her. This was a good story, but just didn't blow me away. We will have to see what book two does before I say this is a must try. I wouldn't turn you away from it though. There are others I would recommend before this one, though. It is a great title. Great premise too.
This is an author I often overlook, though I'm not sure why. I do like romantic suspense. I will have to give her a try.
She is an author that it took me forever to try too. I will be trying more from her, that is for sure.
That was my thought. I interested to see where the next book goes.
I've been a fan of Jim Frangione for a while. He seems to be a love him or hate him narrator. I love him, though he isn't my number one. I will have to try more Ivy books after this one. She has a ton of shifter books, so it is really surprising that I haven't tried her yet.
I do like how this seems to be more of a series that you can read as a stand alone as well. Love when authors do that. It definitely sounds interesting and like something I would enjoy too.
I've really enjoyed this series so far. I can't wait to see where it goes from here.
What a great review on this one. I love this author, my biggest reason is because of her writing style. She is so engaging, and I love romantic suspense and just haven't read enough of it. I will say I love those over the top alpha males—they are always so entertaining. I am not sure I have listened to this narrator, but I really liked the sample you shared. So I just might try this one in audio.
This is my first one my Alexandra Ivy, but it will not be my last. I'm glad you liked the sample. I'm a huge fan of Jim Frangione. He was actually just one Audible's list of "Top Voices in Romance". He's most well known for J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series. I hope you enjoy.


There more than 700 million energetic Instagram individuals worldwide, which is a horrible lot of individuals uploading selfies and also snaps of avocado on salute. Or probably just lurking - How Do You Get Lots Of Likes On Instagram.
So how do you stick out? Whether you're attempting to develop your personal brand and also increase your employment leads or excite potential suitors who click through to your account from your dating application account, the majority of us would invite much more followers.
And also one of the social media's top influencers has actually now revealed exactly how you could up your Insta video game and get even more likes and fans.
Stylist, blog writer, TV character and author Emily Henderson has more than 573,000 fans on Instagram so is certainly well-placed to disclose exactly what makes a winning breeze.
Whilst a few of us might periodically post pictures where the likes do not even get to dual numbers (which certainly we after that hastily remove), each of Henderson's posts makes her thousands of little hearts.
The social media is continuously evolving, as is the kind of material which gets the most likes.
" Everyday as well as month is different and it transforms as we introduce as well as social media expands," Henderson told Refinery 29. "Versatility and innovation are crucial."
Regardless of how they're arranged, blooms will constantly win you wonderful, pleasant likes. Henderson's suggestion? Snap from over with a white background.
Individuals like to see personality, not a picture-perfect, unrelatable variation of on your own. "Individuals don't intend to see a mess in insides, however they wish to see a little of a mess in your personal life," Henderson claims.
" I 'd rather have a picture that's burnt out and also loses information to produce a much better mood compared to one that's dark," she exposes. When editing her pictures, Henderson has the tendency to boost the highlights as well as lighten up more than typical.
The shots you actually upload must be your best ones, as opposed to the ones that show the tale behind them. "Individuals are ruined by gorgeous interiors images on Instagram - I am, also - and just intend to see those," Henderson describes.
If you wish to boost interaction from your fans, merely ask an inquiry in your subtitle - whether that's for guidance or almost their lives. Henderson likewise thinks inscriptions must be short and sweet instead of paragraphs long: "You have to stroll this difficult equilibrium of commemorating your joy, however also being somewhat self-deprecating," she states.
Henderson's tricks consist of utilizing editing applications Afterlight or Colorstory, along with constantly brightening, aligning and enhancing the contrast as well as saturation on her photos. She likewise tends to take her photos from reduced down: "Shooting from lower makes you feel like you're in fact in the space," she clarifies.


Embody LLC, founded in 2014, will get a $150,000 loan from the new venture-capital fund, which aims to help growing technology, science and health care companies.
"We're looking for ways to make Norfolk a more entrepreneurially focused city in those specific areas," said Chuck Rigney, executive director of the Economic Development Authority.
The EDA board of directors approved the $150,000 loan Wednesday after a closed-door meeting in which it reviewed the finances of the company's founder, Jeff Conroy.
Conroy said he hasn't seen another city in Virginia start as large a fund aimed at small businesses.
Embody has 13 employees and plans to double that number in the next few years.
Conroy said it hopes to bring products to market around the same time.
Conroy declined to discuss the company's technology in detail. Rigney told the EDA board that Embody is using nanostructures to make tissue regenerate more strongly.
Conroy said the devices will help people heal from combat wounds and other trauma, as well as sports injuries.
The city says Embody already has a $12.2 million federal grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which focuses on technology with national security applications.
Glenn Hudson, a city development staffer who works on the Innovation Fund, said the federal grant doesn't cover animal testing. So Embody will use the EDA loan to cover that and other research.
Rigney said Embody will get the loan in about 60 days. It has up to 10 years to pay it back, with an interest rate of 5.5 percent.
Embody's offices are in the Innovation Research Park at Old Dominion University, which is also home to other technology and health companies.
The Innovation Fund was started with $500,000 in federal Community Development Block Grant money, an amount that could grow. The Economic Development Authority calls it the first municipal venture-capital fund in Virginia.
Another company had asked for a $150,000 loan but pulled its application for now, Rigney said. That firm, Track Patch I Corp., makes a patch to help caregivers track people with Alzheimer's disease or dementia.

Notes From the Underground
A look at some of the top labels in the world of Irish dance.
In this edition we take a look at Ireland's underground labels and what they have coming out over the coming months. Matador launched his Rukus imprint in 2016 with a four track EP featuring Chicago's Felix Da Housecat on vocals. Since then, he has released his album Ructions on the imprint, and followed that up with a series of remix EPs by some of the world's leading house and techno artists, including Paco Osuna, Hot Since 82 and Julian Jeweil.
Elsewhere, Jonathan Kiely's Strictly Deep imprint is putting together a various artist compilation to celebrate their fifth release. Just in time for the Amsterdam Dance Event, it will feature tracks from Jamie Roy & Makanan, Dene Antony, Colman Buckley (Dog Days), Paul Hosey, and Hoodrat & Richard James & Krissky.
Moving on to Appian Sounds, they will mark their 10th release with a deviation from their usual various artist format. Instead, they are offering Irish producer o.utlier an extended platform for his first full artist EP. The London-based groove technician has crafted tracks for the release, which are reminiscent of early Basic Channel/Maurizio recordings. After appearances on Efdemin's Naif and Fred P's Soul People Music, o.utlier's EP makes for a remarkable full debut.

Interviewer: In a sense the terrorists are winning, aren't they? They've cowed the Western media into not reprinting the cartoons.
Douglas Murray: Not only are they winning, they've won. They've won. Terrorism works — that's the brutal fact of it.
And a lot of people will take lessons from that today.
You know, after the 2005 Jyllandsposten cartoon, by the conservative paper in Denmark, the only paper in Europe, really, that was still willing to draw pictures of Muhammad in the same way they're willing to draw pictures of every other religious, political — you name it — figure, was Charlie Hebdo.
So Charlie Hebdo stood alone. Charlie Hebdo was attacked.
That's why I've suggested that there's really only two options that the press can choose from here.
The first is that we all agree that we live under an element of Islamic blasphemy law. I think that would be highly regrettable. I don't think that is what our society should live under. I think we should do everything possible to avoid it.
But if we are going to avoid it, I think that it's going to have to be done unanimously. All of the newspapers, all of the magazines — the BBC, Sky, Channel 4 — should unanimously publish the Charlie Hebdo cartoons at a particular hour, because as Ayaan Hirsi Ali said after the Danish cartoons row, we have to spread the risk around.
It cannot be that a single cartoonist is holding the line for all freedom of speech. Or that a single, small satirical magazine is doing it.
It has to be everybody.
