5.0 out of 5 starsTracy gets involved with the Navy in a case that could sink more than one career, and life, if she's not careful.
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2017
When Seattle homicide detective Tracy Crosswhite is called to the scene of a hit-and-run death, she doesn't expect the case to lead her to the Navy. The suspect is a serviceman at the local base, which causes the local Judge Advocate General Corps to get involved. The case is then transferred to the military court where the key piece of evidence goes missing. Tracy has made a promise to the family of the victim that she will make sure justice is served for the death of their son, giving her no other option than to pursue the case. The further Tracy digs into the crimes, the more connections pop up to recent heroin overdoses. With each new clue, Tracy, and those around her are put in danger and not everyone is guaranteed to make it out alive.
The Tracy Crosswhite series has become one of my absolute favorites. I love the way Dugoni has taken this character and made her someone the reader wants to cheer for and strive to be like in so many ways. Close to Home is the fifth in the series, but can easily be read as a stand-alone novel. There are references to the first book in the series, but nothing about this book makes it necessary to have read the entire series. For me, this was more of a mystery than a suspense thriller. There was not the usual edge of my seat, can't wait to see what is going to happen next moments. That's not a bad thing, it's just different from the way Dugoni has written these books in the past. I enjoyed the way he spent extra time building up a few of the secondary characters we have seen throughout the series. I really enjoyed the different tone to the story with incorporating the military and JAG lawyers. I am a big fan of military shows and novels and thought this fit in so well with the writing of the characters already established in the series. It will be interesting to see if any of the new characters introduced here make it to the next in the series. I recommend this book to anyone looking for an excellent mystery that will leave you guessing and cheering with the way the story comes to an end.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. The views and opinions expressed within are my own.

3.0 out of 5 starsBogged down in court expositions. Note: Review contains subtle spoilers
I've read all the books in this series, and this one is not up par. There are two dramas taking place that ultimately entwine, but no reason at the outset to believe that they would. Previous books in the series have had excellent suspense pacing, but this one gets bogged down. I don't think the other books contained court testimony, but this one felt like it was mostly court testimony. Dugoni is a lot more interested in the ins and outs of NCIS legal procedures than I am. On the other hand, the new character seems like a winner and could add some needed energy to the series. A "bad" book in this series is still better than a lot that is out there.
5.0 out of 5 stars Tracy gets involved with the Navy in a case that could sink more than one career, and life, if she's not careful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Wonderful
I am continually enamored of Mr. Dugoni's storytelling abilities. I can just imagine how much research he puts into each of his books, yet they come across flawlessly.
Tracy captured my interest right from the first book. She's so down-to-Earth, so confident, so likeable. All the characters were developed so well, including Trejo, who I took a distinct dislike for, and maintained that dislike to the end. As a teacher in an inner city school, I often have a student who I think will one day be captured on a video doing something illegal. And I always think that s/he will be the one to say that the person clearly on the video is not him/her. I never expected to read about someone actually (fictionally) doing that.
Mr. Dugoni is a wonderful writer and I will continue to read his books with delight.
4.0 out of 5 stars Breezed through this one!
This was a simple read with a very entertaining storyline. The only thing I didn't like was reaching the end. This one was a little different in the fact part of the focus was on the other two detectives Tracy works with. Del and Faz. Del has just lost his niece to a drug overdose. Sick at heart and determined to find the people responsible becomes his main objective for now. He's staying with his sister and her remaining two boys while tracking down leads on his nieces case.
Tracy, meanwhile, is working another homicide. A young black boy was walking home late at night after playing basketball with some other guys. He was excited because his team won and his performance had been outstanding. He couldn't wait to play again. His mother was very strict, making sure he stayed in school, got good grades, and hopefully, would get a scholarship for college. While the young man wants to play ball professionally, he knows it won't happen until he gets that degree. Mama is smart and knows her baby has the talent to go far, his skills are undeniable, but she also knows something could happen along the way. A serious injury and any pro career he dreamed of could be gone. Therefore she's intent on sending him to a good school where he will remain until he's got that degree.
Unfortunately, the young man, on his way home from his game, is struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver. Tracy is called to the scene and quickly discovers there's more to the story than what meets the eye. The driver of the car just might be connected to the increase in drug use that's been occurring lately. In fact, Tracy's case could potentially be tied to the death of Del's niece.
Once again we delve into the life of Tracy Crosswhite. She and her husband, Dan, are settling into their new home, along with their two dogs and a cat. And the two of them are trying to get pregnant, all to no avail. Dan has already been tested and, according to him, he's "locked and loaded", fully equipped with whatever it takes to make that baby. On the other hand, Tracy is doing her best to cope with the fact they might not be able to have a child. While Dan encourages her not to give up, he also assures her he'd be happy adopting or if she wants to try fertility drugs, he's up for that too.
Then there's Del, grieving for his niece while doing his best to step into his sister's role, taking on responsibility for her two boys until she gets back on her feet. It was easy to empathize with him given the circumstances. It also turned him into a bulldog when it came to searching for the kid who'd sold her the drugs.
All in all, very good read. Would definitely recommend. This book can be read as a standalone but you miss out on watching the characters develop from book to book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Robert Dugoni Takes Us Down A New and Very Scary Road
In "Close to Home" Robert Dugoni has chosen to deal with an issue much in the news these days - the abuse of heroin and the tragic consequences experienced by three families.
The novel opens with a "hit and run" traffic collision resulting in the death of a 12-year old child. Tracy and Kins are dispatched to the scene as part of the investigation. Their involvement is largely for political reasons because the child was African-American causing the Seattle Police Department brass to be concerned with appearances in light of the "Black Lives Matter" movement.
Using a piece of debris found at the scene as well as a grainy image from a transportation department security camera, investigators are able to determine the make and model of the suspect vehicle - a Subaru Outback. Word is put out to be on the lookout for such a vehicle with headlamp damage. Receiving a call from a citizen who discovered a Subaru Outback abandoned on her property matching the description of the suspect vehicle, investigators impound the vehicle. After obtaining a search warrant for the interior of the vehicle, it is found the entire vehicle, inside and out, has been wiped down to remove any fingerprints and/or DNA that may have been present. Whoever did that, however, failed to note and remove a receipt for a purchase from a convenience store nearby the scene. The receipt leads to the discovery of a video showing a possible suspect in the "hit and run".
The owner of the vehicle, Laszlo Trejo, an enlisted man in the Navy, had reported the vehicle as stolen to the Bremerton Police Department. When Tracy and Kins visit Trejo as part of the investigation they note a cut to Trejo's forehead and that he is drinking from a can of Red Bull. Those two pieces of information ultimately lead to the arrest of Trejo in the death of D'Andre Miller, the victim of the "hit and run". The Red Bull because the receipt and video tape from the convenience store showed a man about the size of Trejo purchasing two cans of Red Bull within minutes of the "hit and run"; the cut on the forehead. explained by Trejo as having been caused when he hit his head on a kitchen cabinet, while Tracy and Kins believed to have been caused when the airbag deployed at the time of the collision.
In the meantime, Del and Faz are investigating a string of heroin overdose deaths in Seattle within a short period of time, apparently caused by an extremely pure and potent variety of heroin. One of those who died of an overdose is Del's niece, Allie, so the investigation becomes very personal. As part of the investigation, Del enlists the assistance of a drug-related specialist in the D.A.'s office, Celia McDaniel, to help identify and prosecute the individuals providing the heroin that killed his niece and others. As we discover, Celia is a recent transplant from Georgia to Seattle "for a change of scenery" and that she has lost a son to heroin addiction as well.
Three seemingly unrelated deaths become the glue that binds the novel together. As the apparently unrelated stories progress, Dugoni takes the reader down paths that should make the reader deeply consider the horrors of heroin and its ever-growing presence in "good homes" where "good kids" become addicted and many, far too many, die far too young as a result.
Police procedural, for sure. Legal thriller, of course. But, most importantly, a social commentary every parent should take time to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5+ Stars. Compelling and depressing
5+ Stars. Compelling and depressing. Robert Dugoni is a must buy, must read author.
Stand-alone that is easy to follow but sometimes difficult to read due to emotions invoked. Some violence. No drag-you-down
drama. Surprise ending.
The fast-paced, descriptive writing tells how relationships and lives are destroyed through drug addiction. Mr. Dugoni's research shows how legalization of marijuana has affected the opium trade's profits. He has also provided information on criminal law and what can and can't be done in trying to get help for those who are addicted.
Realistic procedures, actions and reactions. Believable characters with distinct personalities. Thought-provoking and informative dialogue.
School came first. She'd already grounded D'Andre once for getting home late, and she wouldn't hesitate to do it again. "I'm not raising a fool. You got a one-in-a-million chance to play professional basketball, but you can do anything if you study and work hard in school."
'Moving forward doesn't mean forgetting the past. Moving forward means doing something about the past.'
(Krav Maga) 'Developed by the Israel Defense Forces, it preached avoiding confrontation. It also preached that when confrontation could not be avoided, end the fight. In other words, make peace. When peace wasn't an option, kick a@@.'
"It isn't going to be better, Maggie. It's going to be different, and different is okay. You just have to learn how to embrace it. Like anything, it takes time. What you have to realize is that crying is God's way of helping us wash away the pain. So don't you ever apologize for crying; it's a reminder to us all that we're human, and that we love our family with our entire being. And that's a beautiful thing."
"If you go in thinking you're going to lose, you've already lost. If you go in thinking you're going to win, you'll be disappointed if you lose. So just go in to the competition with the attitude that you're going to compete, which is all you can control anyway."
I will re-read this story and always look forward to works by tuis author.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Exciting Crime Thriller
The police investigate a hit-and-run that leaves a twelve-year-old boy dead, and discover the driver to be a serviceman at the local naval base. After key evidence goes missing, the serviceman goes free, and detective Tracy Crosswhite starts to suspect more is going on than meets the eye. Additionally, a series of heroin overdoses are occurring in the city, and there seems to be a connection between the hit-and-run case and the drugs.
An exciting crime thriller. The plot has some twists that keep the reader interested and wanting to know more. For me, this book started off slow, but as I read I got more involved with the characters and how the story was going to play out. Also, the way the book delves into the heroin epidemic is handled in a very real way.
This is the 5th book in the Tracy Crosswhite series, but it's the first one I have read.
I won the Kindle edition of this book in a Goodreads Giveaway.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crosswhite #5: This is an alert to what our national addiction to where opioid addiction can lead
The hit and run death of a 12-year-old boy who is trying to play basketball, keep up his grades, and obey his mother brings Tracy into the world of opioids and heroin. The heroin hitting the streets in Seattle is very strong and being "cut" with Fentanyl (a very powerful pain killer that is a killer). Young people are dying daily.
This epidemic hits home when Detective Delmo (Del) Castigliano's niece, his sister's daughter, is found dead from an overdose. As Del investigates his niece's death, Tracy begins to investigate the death of the 12-year old as Kins (Detective Kinsington Rowe), her customary partner, is getting ready to have hip replacement surgery. Tracy and Del have no idea their cases are going to collide.
And, if that's not bad enough, enter the United States Navy and, of course, another law enforcement jurisdiction. Seems Tracy can't investigate a crime without stepping on some other jurisdiction.
I found it very important that the book pointed out that most individuals who become addicted to heroin start with marijuana. Little did anyone know that when marijuana was legalized Mexico would plow up its pot fields and plant them in poppies so they could manufacture and export (to the U.S.) heroin, at least 90% pure. When cut with fentanyl, just a small amount of heroin too much can kill a person.
Read the Acknowledgments at the end of the book and you will learn of Dugoni's research into the export of heroin into the U.S. by Mexico after the legalization of marijuana. Why must we always learn after the fact; first it was tobacco, and now it is marijuana, and what marijuana leads to - opioids, heroin, death.
Thank you Robert Dugoni for pointing out this progression from "harmless" marijuana (a lie from the pit of Hell) to killer heroin.
I strongly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book 5 of the fantastic Tracy Crosswhite series
Close to Home is the fifth book in the wonderfully addictive Tracy Crosswhite series, about a Seattle homicide detective and her team. These books have brilliant characters, evocative writing and suspenseful mysteries while also exploring important topics and I've loved every one.
The violent crimes department of SPD are called in to the hit & run death of a young boy on his way home from basketball practice, because it's politically sensitive and Tracy promises the grieving mother that they will get to the bottom of it. The car involved belongs to a navy logistician from the base across the harbour, but when challenged, he flatly denies being in the city, even when video evidence proves that he was. Meanwhile Tracy's colleague Del Castigliano is mourning the death of his teenage niece, part of an epidemic of heroin overdose cases, and is determined to bring down the dealers.
I really like it when police procedural series featuring one detective also develop the other recurring characters, and Del's story here was actually the more compelling. Dugoni's explanation of how cannabis legalisation has led to an explosion of cheap heroin with it's infinitely higher mortality was chilling, as NZ heads into a referendum on legalisation of pot later this year - although we are somewhat protected by our Island status, it doesn't stop meth getting in...
Del's new relationship also charmed even this steadfastly anti-romance reader, and as for his dog - adorable doesn't begin to cover it!
I also enjoyed Leah Battles, an intriguing new character, and learning about the naval legal system which I knew nothing about other than as the title of TV shows. There was perhaps a bit too much about watching security videos but this was an essential part of the plot so just roll with it. I didn't guess who the guilty party would be and am impressed by how Dugoni manages to surprise me each time.
Finally the ongoing evolution of Tracy's relationship with Dan is an important part of this series and what makes them important to read in order - the description of her fertility battle was very realistic and I'll confess to being near tears at the end, which is rare for this old stone heart.
This is firmly now one of my favourite series, up there with Angela Marsons' Kim Stone series, for anyone looking for something similar but different.

4.0 out of 5 stars 3.5 stars
I did like this installment, however I didn't love it. In fact, this was my least favourite of the series. The story itself didn't feel big enough to me. It was split between the hit and run case, and the overdose case. The insight into Del's family life was interesting and tragic, however to me felt too long. So much time was dedicated to going to to that side of things that it kept me from fully investing in either part of the story. Then there was the fact that the synopsis made this sound like Tracy was going to have to place her trust in people she might no longer be able to trust. But for half the book she's basically working alone or with near strangers. Trust never really came into it. Basically the synopsis told you half of the plot and then exaggerated the last part to make it seem like Tracy was going to be in serious danger, but that ending felt obvious to me. This entire story felt obvious. No twists or surprising moments. I guess I'm just a little disappointed after the excellent book which came before this one. I hope the next one gets back on track.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Entertaining Mystery with Tracy Crosswhite!
This is book 5 of the Tracy Crosswhite mystery series. Each book is more intense than the previous one. Tracy Crosswhite is deep into this newest mystery when a boy is killed in a hit and run accident.
What Tracy doesn't realize is this case involves the Navy and their protocol is different from her own. She runs into snags this way and that trying to solve the crime. There are too many clues that do not add up when she delves deeper into them. Finding the perpetrator could endanger her life and those who are also thrown into the mix.
Tracy is a strong woman who will do whatever she can to help justice be served. She strives to handle her own daily struggles in the midst of each of her cases but never gives up to do all she can to succeed in both her personal and professional life. She is a likable character that makes the reader cheer her on and support her every effort.
This series is entertaining and well written. The author does his research to cover every facet of his stories. I look forward to reading the next book in this series which is already on my Kindle.

Hearing adjourned for man charged in brother's death
A hearing was adjourned for a Lansing man charged in connection with his brother's death.
Hearing adjourned for man charged in brother's death A hearing was adjourned for a Lansing man charged in connection with his brother's death. Check out this story on lansingstatejournal.com: http://on.lsj.com/1zKMMHU
Christopher Behnan, Lansing State Journal Published 6:27 p.m. ET Nov. 21, 2014 | Updated 9:56 p.m. ET Dec. 3, 2014
Rahsohn Perry in court in Lansing where his preliminary exam was rescheduled Friday 11/21/2014 . Perry faces murder and gun charges in connection with the shooting death of his brother, Michael Thomas Jimenez Jr. (Lansing State Journal | Rod Sanford)(Photo: Rod Sanford | Lansing State Jour / Rod Sanford)
The family of Michael Jimenez packed a small courtroom Friday to see his brother face charges in connection with his death.
Members left disappointed when Rahsohn Perry's preliminary hearing was adjourned to Dec. 3. Perry, 32, faces murder and gun charges in connection with the Nov. 8 shooting of Jimenez, 39.
Jimenez and Perry have the same mother but different fathers.
A preliminary hearing determines if there is enough evidence for a trial.
Perry's hearing in 54A District Court was adjourned because a new attorney, Andrew Abood, is now representing him. Abood said he had not read the police report and sought the adjournment.
Judge Hugh Clarke Jr. said he wanted everyone on the same page before the case continued.
"We're going to do it from start to finish. This isn't a simple shoplifting case," Clarke said.
Ingham County Assistant Prosecutor John Dewane said he intends to call two witnesses at the December hearing.
Jimenez's family and friends, including his widow and two of his six children, packed the small courtroom Friday. Many wore hoodies and buttons reading "Rest in peace, Mike Jimenez, aka Big Smack." Perry turned away from family seated in the courtroom during a short recess.
Jimenez's wife, Nichelle Jimenez, said the hearing was only the start of seeking justice for her husband's death. The couple married Aug. 31 and shared two children, ages 2 and 5. Michael Jimenez had four other children, two of whom were in the courtroom. His oldest child is 18.
"I just want to see my husband get justice and that's it. I'm going to be at every single one (court hearing)," she said. "He didn't deserve this and he loved his kids. So many people loved him."
Jimenez's cousin, Angelita Houston said Michael Jimenez was a kind and generous man who made people laugh. He earned the nickname "Big Smack" after smacking a friend on the back — hard — while the friend was choking, Houston said.
Michael Jimenez was found around 3 a.m. Nov. 8 with a gunshot wound to the head in what police determined was a homicide. Perry was arrested a few blocks away. Police said the brothers were involved in a confrontation with each other that resulted in the shooting.

[190 Pages] Food Coating Market categorizes the global market by Ingredient Type (Batter, Flours), Application (Bakery, Snacks), Equipment Type (Coaters & Applicators, Enrobers), Form (Dry, Liquid), Mode of Operation (Automatic, Semi-Automatic), and Region. The food coating ingredients and equipment markets were valued at USD 2.60 billion and USD 1.87 billion, respectively, in 2017 and are projected to reach a value of USD 3.62 billion and USD 2.21 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 5.8% and 3.7%, respectively, from 2018 to 2023. The base year considered for the study is 2017, and the forecast period is from 2018 to 2023. The basic objective of the report is to define, segment, and project the global market size for food coating on the basis of ingredient form, ingredient type, equipment type, application, mode of operation and region. The other objectives include analyzing opportunities in the market for stakeholders and providing a competitive landscape of market trends, analyzing the macro and micro indicators of this market to provide a factor analysis, and to project the size of the food coating market.
This report includes estimations of the market size in terms of value (USD million). Both, top-down and bottom-up approaches were used to estimate and validate the size of the global food coating market and to estimate the size of various other dependent submarkets in the overall market. The key players in the market have been identified through secondary research, some of the sources are press releases, paid databases such as Factiva and Bloomberg, annual reports, and financial journals; their market share in respective regions has also been determined through primary and secondary research. All percentage shares, splits, and breakdowns have been determined using secondary sources and were verified through primary sources. The figure below shows the breakdown of profiles of industry experts who participated in primary discussions.
The key players that are profiled in the report include Marel (Iceland), GEA Group (Germany), Bühler AG (Switzerland), JBT Corporation (US), TNA Australia Pty Limited (Australia), Clextral (France), Dumoulin (France), Spice Application Systems (UK), Cargill (US), Kerry Group (Iceland), Tate & Lyle Plc (UK), Newly Weds Foods (US), PGP International (US), Archer Daniels Midland Company (US), Ingredion Incorporated (US), and Bowman Ingredients (UK).
Further breakdown of the Rest of Europe food coating market into Europe includes Poland, Spain, and Russia.
On the basis of application, the food coating market is segmented into confectionery products, bakery products, snacks, meat & seafood products, and breakfast cereals. The meat & seafood segment is estimated to account for the largest share in both, the food coating ingredients and food coating equipment market in 2018; however, confectionery products is estimated to be the second-largest for food coating ingredients and bakery products segment is estimated to be second-largest in the food coating equipment market in 2018. Increased demand for confectionery products in emerging economies such as China and India are expected to drive the food coating ingredients market in the confectionery products industry. Further, with lifestyles becoming increasingly hectic, the consumption of bakery products is growing, as they are a convenient snacking option at a reasonable price. The wide-scale usage of enrobers as coating equipment in bakery products such as biscuits, cakes, donuts, bread, and other bakery products is expected to drive the food coating equipment market in this industry.
On the basis of mode of operation, the food coating equipment market is segmented into automatic, and semi-automatic. The semi-automatic segment is projected to grow at the highest growth rate in the next five years. Semi-automatic food coating equipment is usually adopted by small- and medium-scale manufacturers, as their production scale is limited. Developing countries in the Asia Pacific and South American regions that have a large number of small and medium manufacturers of food processing products utilize semi-automated equipment. Limited investment capacity and high labor availability are the major drivers that have led to the use of semi-automated equipment in these regions.
On the basis of ingredient form, the liquid segment is estimated to account for a larger market share in 2018, followed by the dry segment. Liquid coating is used in formulations of bakery products, flavored nuts, ice cream coatings, granola bars, and confectioneries such as candy bars. Coatings include fat-based formulations that are melted and applied to solid food products such as nuts, cakes, doughnuts, cookies, sugar wafers, ice cream bars, and fruit pieces by manufacturers for the addition of flavors. For instance, liquid food coating ingredients such as batter are used in products such as chicken nuggets and wings. Batter coatings add color, flavor, texture, and extend the shelf life of these products, thus boosting the demand for liquid food coating ingredients in the region. Furthermore, the shift in demand for convenience food, especially in the developing Asia Pacific and South American regions owing to rapid urbanization, is expected to boost the demand for dry food coating ingredients. Bakery items such as bread, confectionery products such as chocolates, snacks such as potato chips and French fries, and meat & seafood gaining popularity in these regions require coating, which, in turn, requires food coating ingredients.
The North American region is expected to dominate the food coating market during the forecast period. The region is backed by superior food coating technologies and utilizes automatic equipment for coating food ingredients. Consumers in the US and Canada majorly consume salty snacks such as potato chips, which need dry coating. Apart from this, these countries consume frozen food that requires a coating for extended shelf life. Consumers in this region opt for cereal as breakfast options which also require coating. The US is also a huge market for confectionery products. According to an article published by the National Confectioners' Association, the confectionery market in the US is expected to reach USD 38.10 billion by 2020.
The Asia Pacific region is projected to be the fastest-growing market for food coating ingredients. The region's growing demand for processed food, improved manufacturing industry growth over the past decade and advancements in the food industry have provided new opportunities for the food coating ingredients market. An increase in processed and convenience food production and innovations in segments such as meat, snacks, and bakery & confectionery products drive the demand for coating ingredients in the Asia Pacific region. China and India are set to experience demand for these products during the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is also projected to be the fastest-growing market for food coating equipment. The growth of the coating equipment market is led by rapid industrialization, growing demand from various applications, and increasing government spending on supporting food manufacturers & processors in the modernization of their technologies and processes. Many global companies are focusing on these emerging markets and are increasing their footprint by setting up manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, and R&D centers. India is projected to be the fastest-growing market in the region as there are many investments being made by several multinational corporations due to the favorable support of the government and low labor cost.
The major restraining factor for the food coating equipment market is the rising prices of ingredients and their subsequent fluctuations and shift towards fresh food products. In developed countries such as the US, Germany, and the UK, the demand for new foods among consumers, changes in their eating habits, and food safety risks are affecting the food processing industry. The rise in the aging population in developed countries has also led to growing health concerns, owing to which they prefer fresh, farm grown, and less processed food products where no synthetic ingredients are used. These factors are expected to restrict the growth of the food coating market in the long run.
Some of the major companies in the food coating ingredients market include Cargill (US), Archer Daniels Midland Company(US), Kerry Group (Ireland) while the major players in the food coating equipment market include GEA Group (Germany), Marel (Iceland), and JBT Corporation (US). These have acquired a leading market position through the provision of a broad product portfolio, along with a focus on diverse end-use segments.

Hunt the authors
A bit of a change of pace today as I'm using this particular column as an open request for information. I've spent a little time this evening working on the next Fleetway Index volume and particularly on one of the romance libraries that was published by Amalgamated Press in the 1950s. Famous Romance Library, which ran for 171 issues between 1956 and 1961, probably isn't at the top of most people's wants lists but it demands study. Blame the completest in me.
Some surviving payment records have revealed a handful of names of writers. There are a few I recognise and expect to see: Joan Whitford, for instance, as she was a very capable scriptwriter often involved in adaptations; Adrian Vincent was editorially involved, so no surprise he scripted a few; Walter Tyrer was a prolific romance author even if he wasn't known for scripting strips.
But a couple of names are new to me and I've had no luck in tracing any other work by them. It seems unlikely that these people would come from nowhere, write prolifically for a pocket library then disappear again. They simply came from and moved to areas that haven't been indexed—women's romance magazines; maybe even D. C. Thomson's romance picture libraries.
So this is something of a wild shot into the dark in the hope that someone may someday look up the name of an author-relative and stumble upon this request for information.
First up... E. Tierney. This would appear to be a Miss Eileen Tierney, but that's the absolute limit of my knowledge of her. I've found no further work by her but she was one of the most prolific contributors to Famous Romance, debuting with issue 4 in 1956 and writing right through to the end, her last confirmed contribution being issue 156 in 1961, a total of 67 issues, which is 40% of the whole run. Quite a few stories appeared under the pen-name Ellen Gribbon, under which name she may have contributed to other magazines, although I've yet to trace any appearances.
The problem is that there are 33 birth records that could possibly be our Miss Eileen Tierney, presuming that she was indeed born in the UK. If we assume she was at least 20 when she started writing, there are 9 records in 1916-34 and a further 7 dating back to 1905. 16 possibles... but tracking her down is no easy task as there are also 40 marriage records for women named Eileen Tierney. There are 59 Eileen Tierney's on current or recent electoral roles... and I don't even want to contemplate the number of potential names that a search of each marriage record might produce, if there are 59 names for each of the 40 records, that's 2,360 possible suspects. Presuming that she was still alive in the last 10 or so years.
Our second subject is V. Humpherson. Humpherson isn't as common a surname as Tierney, but in this case we only have an initial. If we ignore Victor as a birth name, I've found two possibles in birth records: Vera and Violet but I've don't think either are "our" V. Humpherson—Vera Humpherson, born Ecclesall Bierlow area of Yorkshire's West Riding in 1926, married Clifford D. Cheetham in Sheffield in 1950 and they had at least one son; Violet Humpherson, born Wolverhampton, 1925, married Sydney F. Rubecamp in Wolverhapton in 1945 and subsequently moved out of the UK. In 1949, her address was in Portland, Oregon. In any case, payment records for her work, which appeared in 1959-60, would have been under her married name.
Which means we are looking for a Mrs. V. Humpherson, who was already married before 1959, which is a rather more tricky business as that generates hundreds of potential suspects. However, while I was digging around I've found one good suspect, a Violet M. Humpherson, born Violet M. Jenner in around 1900, who married Edgar C. Humpherson in Hambledon, Surrey, in 1931. Edgar died in 1958, aged 68, and Violet followed in 1963, aged 62.
Now, there are three birth records that might apply to her and each is in the name of Violet May Jenner: Camberwell, London (2Q 1899), Mutford, Norfolk (2Q 1900) and Hambledon, Surrey (2Q 1901). Given the place of marriage, the third seems the most likely of the three.
So now we have a possible suspect, Violet May Humpherson (1901-1963), whose husband died shortly before stories by V. Humpherson began appearing and who died shortly after stories by V. Humpherson stopped appearing. But how to prove that Violet is "our" V. Humpherson?
Just to finish off, here are a few other names from my known authors lists that I have little or no information about :—
H. Fairfield
R. Garner
G. Dunn
J. Heale
D. Leader
D. A. Sampson
E. Jackson
J. Gardner

Is there such thing as a "happy" country?
The Happy Planet Index (HPI) is an index of human well-being and environmental impact that was introduced by the New Economics Foundation (NEF) in 2006. The index is designed to challenge well-established indices of countries' development, such as the gross domestic product (GDP) and the Human Development Index (HDI), which are seen as not taking sustainability into account. In particular, GDP is seen as inappropriate, as the usual ultimate aim of most people is not to be rich, but to be happy and healthy.
The HPI is based on general utilitarian principles — that most people want to live long and fulfilling lives, and the country which is doing the best is the one that allows its citizens to do so, whilst avoiding infringing on the opportunity of future people and people in other countries to do the same. Countries with relatively high levels of life satisfaction, as measured in surveys, are found from the very top (Colombia in 6th place) to the very bottom (the USA in 114th place) of the rank order. The HPI is best conceived as a measure of the environmental efficiency of supporting well-being in a given country. Each country's HPI value is a function of its average subjective life satisfaction, life expectancy at birth, and ecological footprint per capita.
From the other side, the World Happiness Report is a measure of happiness published by the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network. In 2011, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution inviting member countries to measure the happiness of their people and to use this to help guide their public policies. On 2012 this was followed by the first UN High Level Meeting on "Happiness and Well-Being: Defining a New Economic Paradigm,", the first and so far only country to have officially adopted gross national happiness instead of the gross domestic product as the main development indicator.
The first World Happiness Report drew international attention as the world's first global happiness survey. The Report outlined the state of world happiness, causes of happiness and misery, and policy implications; and leading experts in several fields – economics, psychology, survey analysis, national statistics, and more – describe how measurements of well-being can be used effectively to assess the progress of nations. The second Report delved deeper into issues relating to happiness, including mental illness, the objective benefits of happiness, the importance of ethics, policy implications, and links with the OECD's approach to measuring subjective well-being as well as the Human Development Report.

Fascinating Statistics The 2007 Canada Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating, conducted by Statistics Canada, recorded a total of 2.1 billion volunteer hours with both an increase in the number of volunteers (5.7%) and volunteer hours (4.2%) from 2004. In 2004, in the United States, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department of Labor indicated that 62.8 million people had volunteered for an organization at least once in the previous 12 months.

Karlovo náměstí je tvořeno bývalým židovským městem na jihozápadním okraji centra města Polná v okrese Jihlava. Židovské město bylo založeno roku 1680. Karlovo náměstí tvoří dvě části – horní je bývalé Židovské náměstí, obklopené trojúhelníkovým blokem domů, a dolní je bývalý Rabínský plácek, který vznikl rozšířením ghetta v roce 1740. Obě části propojuje jedna průchod skrz rabínský dům, jednak průchod mezi synagogou a školou. V 18. a 19. století židovské město při několika požárech vyhořelo (v letech 1712, 1734, 1823 a 1863), přesto se dochoval původní gotický půdorys, na něm stojí na 32 většinou patrových domů přestavěných v novodobém stylu. Historický Bělohlávkův dům čp. 538 s rokokovou fasádou se nachází na jižní straně Rabínského plácku. V domě čp. 530 poblíž synagogy se nacházela židovská lázeň mikve. Na náměstí stávala kamenná kašna, která byla odstraněna v polovině 20. století.

Hlavní vchod do židovského města je u bývalé východní, Horní brány města Polná, u křižovatky ulic Varhánkova, Palackého, Indusova, Feltlova a Třebízského. Židovské město zde mělo vlastní vstupní bránu. Druhá vstupní brána stávala mezi vinopalnou a obytným domem na přístupové cestě od jihu, z dnešní Indusovy ulice na Rabínský plácek – tato brána je dosud chráněna jako kulturní památka, přestože již neexistuje a v registru kulturních památek má uvedenou chybnou adresu.

Rabínský dům a synagoga, o jejichž záchranu usiloval Klub za Historickou Polnou, byly roku 1994 městem věnovány Federaci židovských obcí v Praze. V prostorách zdejší synagogy se nyní nachází Regionální židovské muzeum s expozicemi Historie židovského města a Případ Leopolda Hilsnera.

Historie
První židovské rodiny se usídlily v polovině 16. století v údolí Šlapanky na Dolním městě, v oblasti dnešního židovského hřbitova. Roku 1682 vrchnost židům povolila postavit si vlastní židovské město, tvořené v první fázi 16 dřevěnými domky, synagoga pak byla postavena na základě smlouvy židovské obce s vrchností ze 14. srpna 1684.

Židovské město bylo založeno v roce 1680. Stojí zde i židovský obecní dům tzv. "Rabínský", v němž během největšího rozmachu židovství v Polné fungovala tzv. zimní modlitebna pro třicet věřících, říkalo se jí též "malá synagoga". Dochoval se původní trojúhelníkový půdorys gotické zástavby. V dobách největšího rozmachu se zde nacházelo až 32 domů a žilo tu několik set obyvatel. V roce 1830 žilo v Polné židovských 128 rodin, které tvořily 12 % obyvatel města Polné. Již v 19. století začal význam Polné upadat, na konci 19. století postavení Židů zkomplikovala hilsneriáda, roku 1921 odešel poslední rabín a dojížděl sem rabín z Kolína. Holocaust přežili pouze tři židovští obyvatelé Polné, ani jeden se sem však už nevrátil.

George Carlin had it figured-out 25 years ago.
"It's a big club, and you ain't in it!"
This will make Katie's night.
"Casey Anthony is filing bankruptcy... claims she's worth $1,100".
Not one thousand dollars even, mind you... $1,100... LOL!
you think that duct tape is gonna buy itself?
As liberal as California seems to be, it's amazing that a jury found Scott Peterson guilty of killing his wife and baby and was given the death penalty, even though there was no evidence of how and when he killed them. They based it more or less on his lies, deceit and actions after the killings.
Yet in Florida a jury set Casey Anthony free, and didn't consider her lies, deceit and actions right after the murder.
BTW, check this out. That beezatch is still trying to wiggle off the hook. She forgot to mention to the IRS that she got $200,000 for selling pictures of her dead baby girl. Guilty of murder or not, you don't stiff the IRS. LOL.
She owes the IRS around $68,000. If she thinks filing bankruptcy is just gonna make the IRS go away, then she better think again. It's one thing to pull the wool over some lazy, stupid jurors' eyes, but dodging that bullet is gonna take more lies than even she can come up with. LOL.
She also owes the Orange County Sheriff's Office for costs relating to investigation based on all her stupid lies, court costs and legal fees, totaling around $800,000.
Looks like that baby-killer needs to start scouring the want ads to get a "real job".
"I truly believe that she has a lot of skills," (Charles) Greene told ABCNews.com. "She's better than many paralegals I know.
She could be a paralegal or something like that right away. She is very organized, a very intelligent, very computer savvy person, so I think her skills and her desire may lie somewhere in that field."
She does have a lot of skills. She can lie better than any criminal on the planet. And her computer skills at looking up how to suffocate a child and getting away with it are beyond measure.
Maybe Mr. Greene should be worried about getting paid. Or better yet, he should be worried about more duct tape and heart stickers around his own bad self. HA HA.
Seriously, bankruptcy only protects you from debts until the date of the bankruptcy. It doesn't protect you from future debts. So any lawsuits won against her afterwards are due and payable.
Casey's lying reminds me of George Costanza's lying. HA HA.
George was a better liar than Casey. Not much better, but somewhat better.
katie she also owes joes biaz half a million dollars, bet he never sees a dime.
That's right Beauders. She did get $200,000 from ABC when she sold them pictures of Caylee that she gave to Jose for her defense. But as far as I know, she's never paid him any more.
I doubt if she ever paid her "best friend" back for going on a spending spree for up to $1000 with her "friend's" checkbook.
Well, if anyone ever considers hiring Casey for any kind of job, I hope they're smart enough to make sure the company checkbook is under lock and key, and that Casey never gets a key to the petty cash box. LOL.
George Carlin is my all time favorite comedian. I wonder if he had to pack an even smaller version of his "stuff" when he passed. RIP George.

Мултимедија (мултимедији) је назив за оне медије који су комбинација више различитих медија. Мултимедије карактерише мултимедијални доживљај, по појавним облицима (перцептивним видовима информација, тј. логичкој структури) и преносним путевима(физички преносним путевима) вишеструк, симултан, снажан доживљај, у најширем смислу то је проток информација између извођача и публике. Овај појам се сусреће и у свету забаве (музике, видео и рачунарских игрица...) али и у телекомуникацијама и свету рачунара.

Сматра се да је мултимедиј постао феномен савременог друштва, који у најужем смислу можемо посматрати као папир, ваздух, електромагнетско поље путем којих се преносе информације, а у најширем средство у процесу интеракције човека са окружењем.
Ако се подаци који се уносе у медиј посматрају као енергија која деформише просторно временску структуру, онда човек тај "сигнал" може да уочи, тј. детектује и то својим чулима (слух, вид) или посредно, преко уређаја који информацију претварају у облик који човек може да детектује.
Мултимедији су сложени техничко технолошки системи (телекомуникациони системи, рачунарске мреже и сл.) У ствари њихов развој је тесно повезан са техничко-технолошким развојем.

Медиј
У рачунарству медиј је носилац или преносилац података. Процеси које обухвата рад рачунара са медијима су аквизиција, складиштење, репрезентација, размена, обрада и презентација медијских података.

Презентациони медиј је тип физичког средства који се користи при комуникацији човека и рачунара (тастатура, миш, дисплеј, камера...)

Смештајни медиј је тип физичког средства за складиштење податка (оперативна меморија, оптички диск...)

Преносни медиј је средство за пренос података (упредена парица, коаксијални кабл, оптичко влакно...)

Медиј за размену тип физичког средства за размену података

Репрезентациони медиј за представљање медијских информација у апстрактној форми помоћу скупа медијских података и веза између њих. На пример кориснику се текст може саопштити на основу датотеке која садржи бит мапирану слику у растерском графичком подсистему, колекцијом векторских графичких примитива, HTML страницом...)

Перцептивни медиј је појавни облик носиоца информација са гледишта корисника (предмет рада рачунара је дигитални медији).

Мултимедијална комуникација
Мултимедијална комуникација је истовремено коришћење више медија (попут филма који обједињује слике и звук, анимацију...) или симултано коришћење више начина комуницирања (спој текста и фотографије, тј. слике, графике и сл.)

Мултимедијални информациони систем
У рачунарству медиј је преносилац податка.
Мултимедијални информациони систем је информациони систем који може да подржи интерактивну комуникацију корисника са рачунарским системом и то у реалном времену, симултаним коришћење различитих појавних облика информација (текст, графика, слика, музика и сл).

Pepe clinches Arsenal win but no European spot
Nicolas Pepe scored twice as Arsenal beat Brighton 2-0 but the Gunners missed out on the final European qualification spot.
Arsenal appeared on track for a seventh-placed finish – and a spot in the Europa Conference League – after Nicolas Pepe's second-half double at the Emirates Stadium, but Tottenham's late win over Leicester left them in eighth and facing their first season without European football in 25 years.
Arsenal were frustrated by Brighton in a one-sided first half but finally made the breakthrough when Pepe expertly controlled a Calum Chambers cross and fired past Robert Sanchez (49).
The in-form Ivorian then made it five goals in his last three appearances when he latched onto a Martin Odegaard pass and produced another clinical finish (60) from the right-hand side of the Brighton box.
The victory lifts Arsenal above Everton, who were beaten 5-0 by champions Manchester City, but Mikel Arteta's side have to settle for eighth place – and a season out of European competition – due to Tottenham's dramatic 4-2 victory at the King Power Stadium.
Brighton, meanwhile, perhaps fatigued by their dramatic comeback win over Manchester City on Tuesday, finish in 16th place.
Arsenal: Leno (7), Chambers (8), Holding (7), Gabriel (7), Tierney (7), Xhaka (7), Partey (7), Odegaard (8), Pepe (9), Smith Rowe (7), Aubameyang (6).
Subs: Saka (6), Lacazette (6), Martinelli (6)
Brighton: Sanchez (6), Jahanbakhsh (6), Webster (6), Dunk (6), White (6), Burn (6), Bissouma (7), Moder (7), Gross (6), Mac Allister (5), Trossard (5).
Subs: Lallana (6), Connolly (6), Alzate (6).
Man of the match: Nicolas Pepe
How Arsenal won… but missed out on Europe
There were more scenes of protest against Arsenal's Kroenke family owners outside the stadium ahead of kick-off and many of the 10,000 fans in the stands then held up posters reading 'Kroenke out, fans in' as the players emerged from the tunnel.
But their ire was aimed solely at the owners, rather than the players, and they were quick to get behind the team as Arsenal dominated proceedings from the outset.
Odegaard, playing the final game of his loan spell from Real Madrid, was at the heart of almost every attack in the early stages but it was Thomas Partey who had the first chance, curling a long-range effort narrowly wide.

The Ghanaian, who is still waiting for his first Arsenal goal, then went even closer when his looping strike forced the back-peddling Sanchez into a scrambling save.
Brighton offered little as an attacking force but did at least defend resolutely in the first half, although they were fortunate to go into the break level after Gabriel Magalhaes sent a header against the bar shortly before the break.
Arsenal didn't have to wait long, however, with Pepe's opener arriving just a few minutes after half-time. Chambers' low cross was firmly struck, but the Ivorian controlled it with his first touch then dispatched a powerful finish with his second.
The Gunners were appealing for a penalty soon after that when Odegaard went to ground following a counter-attack, their appeals waved away by Jonathan Moss, but any frustration at that decision subsided when they doubled their lead a few minutes later.
It was another fine finish from Pepe as he collected Odegaard's through-ball and punished Lewis Dunk for backing off him, steering the ball into the bottom corner beyond the despairing Sanchez.
Lewis Dunk clears the ball under pressure from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Bernd Leno had to make a rare save from Jakub Moder as Brighton attempted to claw their way back into the game but the hosts continued to have the upper hand and should have extended their lead.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang sliced wastefully wide from one counter-attack while Partey struck the bar with a powerful effort from Granit Xhaka's pass.
There was a warm reception for Alexandre Lacazette as he came off the bench for what could be his final appearance for Arsenal while Odegaard, who is due to return to return to Real Madrid following his loan spell, was also loudly cheered when he was replaced by Gabriel Martinelli.
The Gunners appeared to be heading up to seventh place and into the Europa Conference League at that point, but Tottenham's late comeback at the King Power Stadium means they miss out by a point despite a winning end to a difficult Premier League campaign.
What the managers said
Mikel Arteta: "Happy with the performance and the result and most importantly having our fans back after such a long time. Thanks so much to them.
"If anyone was doubting about their reaction, they showed clearly how much they want to support the team, so thank you so much on behalf of myself, the staff and all the players.
"But then disappointed because we are not in Europe. We made progress in terms of points. Sixty-one points last year would have taken us to fifth. But it shows the way the league is developing and the level we need to get to."
Mikel Arteta praised the impact the fans had on his players
Graham Potter: "The boys kept going. You can't criticise them for that. Sometimes you have to be honest and say we weren't quite at our level, but not for the want of trying.
"I think we just had a tough week and a tough season and today was maybe a little bit of a step too far for us against a good team with really, really good attacking players."
Graham Potter admits Arsenal were the better team
Opta stats – Pepe shows his value
Nicolas Pepe has been involved in more goals in all competitions than any other Arsenal player this season (21 – 16 goals, five assists).
Arsenal have won their final league game in each of the last 10 Premier League campaigns, and haven't lost on matchday 38 since the 2004-05 campaign against Birmingham.
Brighton have lost three consecutive away league games for the first time since January 2020.
Despite finishing the season with five consecutive league victories, Arsenal have finished as low as 8th in consecutive campaigns for the first time since a run of four between 1973-74 and 1976-77.
Arsenal have kept three clean sheets in their last five Premier League games, more than they had in their previous 14 in the competition (two).
Arsenal had three players score 10+ Premier League goals this season (Alexandre Lacazette, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nicolas Pépé), the first time they've had as many reach double figures since 2016-17 (Alexis Sanchez, Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott).
What's next? Euros, transfer window, 2021/22 key dates
Euro 2020 kicks off on Friday June 11 – just 19 days after the conclusion of the 2020/21 Premier League season – and runs until Sunday July 11.
The 2021/22 Premier League campaign will start on the weekend of Saturday August 14 – 34 days after that Euro 2020 final at Wembley.
Clubs will be able to start planning for the new term when the top-flight fixtures are released at 9am on Wednesday, June 16 but transfer business can start in earnest before then, with the summer transfer window opening on Wednesday June 9.
The 2021/22 Championship season begins a week before the top-flight one on the weekend of Saturday August 7. All Sky Bet EFL fixtures will be announced at 9am on Thursday June 24.

       StartDate = s.sdate,
       EndDate = s.edate,
       CarNo = s.carno,
       Fee = s.fee,
       ElapsedDays = SqlFunctions.DateDiff("day",DateTime.Now,s.sdate)
    }).ToArray();

Document.

A: In C# you don't need to write Datediff() function like in SQL. You just can minus needed dates:
var carn = (from s in db.rentails where s.carno == carno select s).
.ToList()
.Select(x => new
{
DateDiff = (x.edate - x.sdate).Days,
//rest props
});

A: Pls give it a try the following code:
var carn = (from s in db.rentails where s.carno == carno select s)
.Select(x => new
{
  DateDiff = (x.edate - x.sdate).Days
});

Note: Make sure type of eDate, sDate is DateTime.
