When Edie is caught in a compromising position at her colleagues' wedding, all the blame falls on her – turns out that personal popularity in the office is not that different from your schooldays. Shamed online and ostracised by everyone she knows, her boss suggests an extended sabbatical – ghostwriting an autobiography for hot new acting talent, Elliot Owen. Easy, right?
Wrong. Banished back to her home town of Nottingham, Edie is not only dealing with a man who probably hasn't heard the word 'no' in a decade, but also suffering an excruciating regression to her teenage years as she moves back in with her widowed father and judgey, layabout sister.
When the world is asking who you are, it's hard not to question yourself. Who's that girl? Edie is ready to find out.
How can her books be so good? I just want to live in them forever and ever. While the plots have differed, they've all managed to draw out that elusive, yet familiar, 'magical romance' feeling in me. Sometimes I just feel like I must have become jaded, like the book couplings I'm reading are bland stick figures being pushed together for the sake of it, yet then Mhairi brings out a new book and I'm back. I actually want to stop everything and READ. Edie's adventure just kept going and going and going. With so much emotion packed into this book, I couldn't help but struggle through the pain she felt and cheer for her too.
Despite being an Australian, I still found myself on the outside in terms of the vocab used as Edie threw about the occasional British phrase that I'd never heard of. Most of the time it was easy enough to glean her meaning from the situation, but it did heighten the fact that British English and Aussie English are not one in the same. Still, I wouldn't have done without it. Those moments just added to my overall enjoyment of the book, causing me to smirk whenever she mentioned something like 'ringing off' or going 'out on the tiles'. There were many more, but being too absorbed in what was going down, I didn't have a notepad handy to jot them all down.
Going into this story blind, I had no idea what it was about, and I pretty much liked it that way. It wasn't intentional though—thinking I'd ordered a paperback to match the rest of her books, I was (sadly?) surprised to find a massive hardcover copy turn up when it arrived in the mail. Still, it was a Mhairi book and it was there in front of me, so I just took the dust jacket off and got into it. It turned out to be the right choice. I adored these characters.
Edie and her turmoil-filled life quickly got me on side. The ten-year age gap between me and the main character felt like nothing—perhaps because I'm on the younger end of it. Even so, Edie felt like exactly the kind of person I could get along with. It's become harder and harder to connect with YA characters unless it's a really good book. Again, is that jaded and cynical me taking over? High school may have only been ten years ago, but it feels like a distant past. More books about romance, friends, family and working life—bring it on.
Despite having spoken nothing of this story and plenty of my love of Mhairi's writing skills, I hope to have imbued the (no longer hidden) message that this book is fantastic. It's full of family bickering over things like class and food choices, rekindled friendships, workplace social media disasters and celebrity crushing (of the romantic kind, no celebrities were physically harmed here). It may be monstrously thick, and if you pick up the (easily dirtied) white hardcover like me, work colleagues will think you're reading a bible until they strain to read the title printed in silver up the spine—did I have a point? Ah, yes—the length of this book is what makes it so awesome. While only a third in, I felt like I'd read a book's worth of plot, yet it manages to just keep throwing more things at you until you just never want it to end. Five hundred pages were not enough!
YA or contemporary fans wanting a bit of pre-midlife romance to dive into.


This letter was published in the Westport News on Friday, March 24, 2017.
To the Editor: Thanks for Chris Marquette's typically well-written article (March 6, 2017) on the tempest raging in Westport as a result of the essay contest on "white privilege." It is upsetting to see the intemperate protests by correspondents on both sides of the aisle. They are choosing to take on Westport for a host of issues that are misguided.
They picked on the wrong town, and I have a unique perspective to tell you why.
Westport is very largely white. Its residents are, largely, fortunate economically. But Westport is nearly unique among American affluent suburbs in the way it treats its least secure citizens and neighbors.
Since 1984, my organization, Homes with Hope has run a homeless shelter for single men in the heart of our downtown. Every night of the year since 1984, local volunteers have provided a warm cooked meal to the residents and other needy neighbors who show up for dinner at 5 pm. Our shelter for families opened in 1992, a shelter for single women opened in 1993, and we started providing apartment units for chronically homeless individuals with a host of mental health issues in 1998. We recently merged with Westport's Project Return, an eight-bedroom house that has provided nurturing care for young women since 1985.
In total, we house nearly 115 individuals in beds every night, each of them cared for by a case worker who provides the structure to help them avoid, or overcome, homelessness. Thirty percent of our residents are black.
Homelessness is generally confronted in big city shelters which cannot afford to care for the large numbers of locals and dispossessed suburbanites who have nowhere else to turn. So which town does not contribute to the crisis of surrounding big cities? Westport.
More than 600 Westport households provide over 65 percent of our total annual budget, and many more volunteer in our 11 locations around town. Unlike the NIMBY concerns that so often greet this social justice work in nearly every other town in America, a large percentage of our citizens work with our homeless population, support them and welcome them to the town's facilities. If this is white privilege, more towns need to adopt it, to foster it and help to solve the country's economic problems.
Rather than being vilified, suburban Westport should be copied. Westport has the answers to solving the country's homelessness problems. Why is no other affluent suburb asking the questions?


IoT, public safety and insider threats draw the most attention as localities beef up protection against cyberattacks.
State and local governments host vast amounts of sensitive data — nothing top secret, but information that contains the intimate details of their citizens' lives: children's school records, driving records, voter registration information, contacts with police and paramedics, the list goes on. As more communities lean on the internet and the cloud to create efficiencies and to save money, that data becomes more vulnerable.
The promise of smart cities programs and interconnected federal/state/local databases can be dashed if the information is not secure. State and local government officials know this, and work to ensure their networks are as protected and stable as possible even as their security challenges grow more sophisticated.
It's not a simple task for them. In my experience, state and local agencies find that the important work of IT modernization can also be expensive, complicated and time-consuming for their IT staffs, and that they need help managing the security of their new investments. I've helped numerous customers draw a roadmap to better security through services such as CDW's Threat Check and vulnerability assessments.
The National League of Cities reported in 2017 that 66 percent of U.S. cities have invested in smart-city technology, such as smart streetlights that do everything from adjusting their own brightness to detecting illegally parked cars, or smart grids that enable utilities to distribute energy more efficiently.
The more systems that are connected, however, the more endpoints a government has to protect. There's already concern about hackers attempting to disrupt a rush hour by taking over a traffic control system, for example, or polluting a water system by remotely changing water treatment protocols. A 2013 cyberbreach of a small dam in Rye, N.Y., could have given hackers control of the flood gates, except that a critical control cable had been physically disconnected at the time.
Agencies must ensure that they have appropriate security controls in place to separate IoT networks and devices from the rest of their systems, and that they control access to the devices from a secure operating environment.
The damage done by employees can be serious — but it's not always intentional. Unless an agency trains workers to avoid falling for phishing attempts or other forms of social engineering, malware can enter a system with an unwitting click on a link in legitimate-looking email. Verizon's 2018 Data Breach Investigations Report found that email is the primary entry point for malware.
These breaches can reveal personal information such as driver's license numbers, Social Security numbers and credit card or bank account numbers, as happened in email hacks of Idaho's Transportation Department and Tax Commission in 2018. The exposure of personally identifiable information could put a state or other locality at risk of a lawsuit, although most legal action linked to hacks has so far been on a national level, against companies involved in high-profile breaches affecting millions of consumers.
Phishing emails are also a primary method for ransomware to enter and paralyze government systems. This year already, cities such as Atlanta and Farmington, N.M., have experienced ransomware attacks.
As agencies across the country begin to connect to FirstNet, a national broadband network dedicated for first responders during emergencies, and as more communities begin to implement the digital Next Generation 911, the security of public safety systems becomes even more critical. FirstNet alone has nearly 30,000 connections into its network from smartphones, in-vehicle modems and other devices.
An overview of the two systems published by the National Association of State 911 Administrators notes that each is being coordinated at a different level: FirstNet by the federal government and Next Generation 911 by state and local governments. Ensuring seamless communications and interoperability between the systems is essential, especially at this early stage of the process.
State and local agencies must also be aware of modernization efforts happening at the national level. Federal agencies are required to comply with ever-stricter approaches to security, such as the Trusted Internet Connections program and the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program. Local agencies interacting with the federal government must be able to integrate with these new, more secure systems as they share information and data.
The state of Missouri — which must defend itself against an average of more than 2 million cyberattacks each month — provides one example of a successful cybersecurity program, with a nationally recognized training program that has reached more than 40,000 employees, the creation of a statewide vulnerability management program and security solutions from more than 30 vendors. IT staff are now able to resolve incidents in about 5 hours, down from more than 110.
As Missouri has discovered, cybersecurity is an ongoing process. Searching for solutions to only the most recent problems may cause you to lose sight of the bigger and more dangerous picture.
In the CDW•G Cybersecurity Insight Report, you can learn more about the biggest threats facing organizations today, plus measures that can help protect your agency's data.

New Delhi [India], June 23 (ANI): Saif Ali Khan's dark comedy 'Kaalakaandi' has a release date now.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter and shared the release date of the movie with a photo of Saif.
The project will be the debut directorial venture for Akshat Verma, previously known for writing 2011s 'Delhi Belly'.
The movie also stars Deepak Dobriyal, Vijay Raz, Kunal Roy Kapoor, Sobhita Dhulipala, Akshay Oberoi, Isha Talwar, Shenaz Treasury, Shivam Patil, Amyra Dastur and Neil Bhoopalam in pivotal roles.
'Kaalakaandi' is the story of six characters from different worlds, urban, ambitious Mumbai and it's dark, neglected underbelly, a raucous tale about life, death, karma, that barrels through one monsoon night.


A Darling Kind of Life: flowers...beautiful.
We are miles away from the stage we were at in Cale's recovery, I'd say even 6 months ago. So much has changed and is different. One thing that is constant is every day I love him more. How it happens? I have no idea. I'm able to look at him daily with new love, new devotion, and a new heart. The Lord is good, isn't He?
I spent some time with a friend this afternoon that I haven't seen in a couple years. She is a friend that I have always looked up to and respected. When I was younger, her and her two sisters were my role models; they were the vision of godly women and still are! I was able to sit and listen to her share about her and her fiancé's story. Beautiful! I loved listening and soaking up every detail. Not too long into to her sharing, a familiar feeling tugged at the corners of my heart; an unwelcomed reminder that the sweet stuff she was sharing about her fiancé, I didn't have anymore.
I know many of you reading know exactly what I'm describing. We as humans desire what we don't have, or can't have. A boyfriend, husband, baby, house, car, degree, money, and the list goes on.
While Cale was deployed, this same feeling would show itself every time I would see a couple holding hands and being sweet with each other-I missed Cale and wanted to be able to hold his hand. After the accident, I would experience it again-other patients were making progress and oh how I wanted it for Cale as well! Now of course like I've shared about my whole baby ordeal, yep, then too! While my friend shared today and told me about all the sweet little things about her adorable relationship, I was overjoyed for her and loved getting to hear it, but at the same time, I was reminded how Cale is unable to do sweet little things for me now.
He has always been really great at special surprises to make me smile. Once while we were dating he knew that red Skittles were my favorite, so out of a huge bag, he picked all the red ones out and gave me just them. One Valentine's Day he searched and searched for a box of all dark chocolate. He would leave me notes, and sometimes just a smiley face; all of it was so perfect.
It was so sweet! I'm so blessed and so thankful for such a special gift.
My short story turned into a long one…sorry!
We've had a great day! Cale slept in so that gave me time to get some stuff done around the house. I'm sure I could have been more productive on the cleaning part, but I took the "less is more" seriously this morning. ;) Instead, I made some really super yummy homemade salsa! Mmm! A few more randoms, but I'd have to say the salsa that I made and was able to enjoy with lunch was the best part…other than when I walked in the room a little later and Cale was just waking up. I ended up climbing back in bed with him and cuddled for a bit. I love moments like that! We just smiled at each other and giggled at the blankets tickling our noses. Perfect.
Tonight was PT. Last night my manly husband did 25 minutes on the elliptical, which was a HUGE deal! He jumped (well carefully climbed!) back on tonight and did 30 minutes!!! He topped his best time just in one day! Oh yeah!
I'm lying here as I type feeling over the top blessed by my Savior and head over heels crazy in love with my Boy.
Isn't it just like Father, to give you the desires of your heart....and what's more, to be preparing it while you were desiring it. I love you. Marion OH, I forgot to mention on the last blog entry, the patch on Cale's eye reminds me of the blog sometime ago about pirates...Why are pirates funny, because they arrrr.


How to raise fish in the backyard of our home?
Home/ Aquaculture/How to raise fish in the backyard of our home?
There are four important ways to raise fish in your backyard. You can raise them in a farm pond, backyard Koi pond, a swimming pool or you can choose an in depth way of Aquaponics.
You need to create your own ecosystem to feed your fish.
#1. Whatever means you are using, whether it is a Koi pond or swimming pool, you will need to fill it with water. Once the water is filled in the pool or pond, you have to leave it untreated by not adding any chlorine or any other chemicals that you might use to keep the water clean.
#2. You will need to add whatever fish you chose to raise in your water. You have to start feeding the fish otherwise they won't have any ecosystem to depend upon. However, over time the fish die and you need to leave them there because this helps to build the ecosystem.
#3. You will need to add urine and other feeder organisms which will add to the ecosystem and help you everything clear for the fish. There are a wide variety of filter feeder organisms that are available and it is you who have to decide which would be the easiest one to purchase in your area.

The Quiet Warrior: A Biography of Admiral Raymond A. Spruance
by Thomas B. Buell
Regarded as the standard biography of World War II naval hero Adm. Raymond A. Spruance, this work is now available in trade paperback for the first time. Spruance, victor of the battles of Midway and the Philippine Sea and commander of the Fifth Fleet in the invasions of the Gilberts, the Marshalls, the Marianas, and Okinawa, is one of the towering figures in American naval history. Yet his reserved, cerebral personality did not make "good copy" for correspondents, and until the publication of The Quiet Warrior he remained an elusive figure. Thomas Buell has succeeded in evoking the nature of the man as well as recording the achievements of the admiral in this brilliant biography, which won the Alfred Thayer Mahan Award for Literary Achievement the year of its publication.
