New York Times bestselling author Allison Brennan introduces an irrepressible heroine in her pulse-pounding new thriller Notorious, which Lisa Gardner says is, "Guaranteed to keep you up late at night."
Maxine Revere has dedicated her life to investigating murders that the police have long since given up any hope of solving. A nationally renowned investigative reporter with her own TV show and a tough-as-nails reputation, Max tackles cold cases from across the country and every walk of life. But the one unsolved murder that still haunts her is a case from her own past.
When Max was a high school senior, one of her best friends was strangled and another, Kevin O'Neal, accused of the crime. To the disgrace of her wealthy family, Max stood by her friend, until she found out he lied about his alibi. Though his guilt was never proven, their relationship crumbled from the strain of too many secrets.
Now Max is home for Kevin's funeral—after years of drug abuse, he committed suicide. She's finally prepared to come to terms with the loss of his friendship, but she's not prepared for Kevin's sister to stubbornly insist that he didn't kill himself. Or for an elderly couple to accost her at the airport, begging her to look into another murder at Max's old high school. Max is more interested in the cold case at her alma mater than in digging around Kevin's troubled life, but she agrees to do both. As Max uncovers dark secrets, she finds herself caught in a complicated web of lies that hit far too close to home. And it's becoming increasingly clear that someone will do whatever it takes to make sure the truth stays buried.
I loved this book. This is book 1 in the Max Revere Series. I started this series with book 3 and I loved that one so I went back to read books 1 & 2. Allison Brennan writes a fantastic mystery with twists and turns with every chapter. Just when you think you might have it figured out there is a blindside with a turn of the page. Max is a hard hitting journalist trying to find the truth, her assistant and bodyguard David is fiercely loyal and frequently frustrated with the risks that Max takes to find the truth. Ben is the producer of Max's TV show on solving true crimes. and is just as frustrated with Max's antics as David but Max always finds the truth which makes for a very successful show. The characters have rich history and are easily relatable. I'm moving on to book 2 - Compulsion.
A really, really great new series. Just loved the concept of this book. Excited to read the next book in the series. The story line was completely different from any of Allison's other books. Everyone should give this series a try.
Enjoyed this book although I found all the characters and family connections confusing over the first several chapters. The stories of three separate murders and the mystery connecting them creates suspense and evolves into tragedy dating back many years. This is a story dealing with love, loyalty, friendships and human weaknesses. The ending is unexpected and solves many unanswered questions.
Loved It! Couldn't put it down. Love Allison Brennan!

Keywords: tick-borne encephalitis, Ixodes ricinus, prevalence of TBEV, Tromøy, Norway
Expansion of the range of Ixodes ricinus ticks further north and to higher altitudes affects the spread of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) in new territories and increases the risk of human infections. Over the past decade, the number of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) cases has increased in Norway and parts of the southern coast have been established as endemic. The aims of this study were to confirm the existence of TBEV endemic foci, determine the spread of TBE in different localities of Norway, review and compare relevant published records on the prevalence of TBEV in the different developmental stages and sex of the ticks. Ticks were collected from nine locations along the southern coast of Norway during June-July 2009. For the detection of TBEV-specific RNA, a real-time RT-PCR targeting a part of the 3' non-coding region of the TBEV genome was used. A total of 1542 ticks grouped in 250 pools were examined and TBEV RNA was detected in 5 pools with overall prevalence of 0.32%.

Watchdog Warns SEIU Contract for Nevada Voting Machines Poses 'Fraud' Concern
By Judson Berger, | Fox News

A conservative watchdog group is calling on Nevada officials to intervene to ensure SEIU workers who operate one county's voting machines don't skew the results to boost their endorsed candidate, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
A contract between SEIU Local 1107 and Clark County -- where voting glitches were reported Tuesday -- makes the SEIU the sole union representative for, among other professions, voting machine technicians.
Nevada SEIU spokesman Nick Di Archangel called the suggestion that SEIU or its technicians would manipulate voting machines "absolutely false."
But Americans for Limited Government called the union agreement "positively outrageous" considering SEIU's political stake in the race. ALG has urged the U.S. Marshals, the state attorney general and the U.S. attorney's office to step in to uphold the integrity of the election.
"For all intents and purposes, the SEIU has control over those ballots boxes, because they're the people who work on them ... which puts us into a new realm of potential fraud," ALG spokesman Richard Manning told FoxNews.com.
Manning said it is "suspicious" that glitches were just reported in that county's machines, referring to complaints from voters in Boulder City that Reid's name was already checked when they went to cast their ballots for his opponent, Republican Sharron Angle. Fox5Vegas.com reported that several voters in the Clark County jurisdiction experienced the same problem.
Registrar of Voters Larry Lomax explained that highly sensitive touch-screens may be to blame and fraud is not the issue. He told Fox5Vegas.com that nobody reported the problem to his officials and that it would be impossible for the machines to pick a candidate without the voter's consent.
He also said in a statement that the supervisors are not part of the union, even if the technicians are, and that the technicians are not involved in programming. He said "extensive security measures are in place" to prevent tampering, adding that SEIU-eligible employees have worked in the Election Department for years without incident.
Di Archangel said Lomax "ensures both the security and reliability" of the machines. "The machines cannot be compromised," he said in an e-mail to FoxNews.com. He added that despite the county contract, all workers are free to stay out of the union if they wish.
"The agreement does not mandate in any way that only union members be assigned to specific jobs," he said.
Secretary of State Ross Miller's office said in a statement that despite wide-ranging "rumor and speculation" about suspicious voting activity, no formal complaints have been lodged with Nevada's Election Integrity Task Force.
"I will not tolerate any attempt by an individual, organization or campaign, to deny any Nevadan the right to freely cast their vote in a safe, secure and private manner. But neither will I stand by and allow the public's confidence in the electoral system (to) be undermined by unsubstantiated rumors and allegations," Miller said.
But Manning said SEIU's involvement in the process raises concern about the integrity of the election.
The union is putting big money into the Nevada Senate race to support Reid and recently went up with an ad that described Angle as "too dangerous" to have power in Congress.
Though the Clark County/SEIU contract is dated March 2007 to June 2010, it is still in effect.
The SEIU said that voters, to ensure the accuracy of their selections, should use the machines' "fail-safe system" to review their picks before leaving the polling station.

Your financial planning as an expat will benefit greatly if you have the appropriate financial insurance products in place to protect your assets. Pryce Warner experts can advise you on which type of insurance policies are suitable for your circumstances, particularly if you are living overseas—ranging from protection policies and term assurances to life insurance and international health insurance.
If you are unsure, or simply need more clarification, Pryce Warner can advise on a range of financial insurance products for expats living overseas, including the level of cover you might wish to take out. In particular, given the short term nature of cover afforded by the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), we recommend that expats consider how they will pay for healthcare they may require in the host country—in many cases a comprehensive expat health insurance plan is the answer. Depending on which country you currently live in, our advisors will be able to recommend the most appropriate level of cover.
Click on the products listed below for more information or contact us to speak to one of our insurance advisors.
NB: the difference between the terms 'assurance' and 'insurance' is as follows—'insurance' provides cover for an event that might happen, such as fire, theft, or flood, while 'assurance' refers to an event that is certain to happen.
A protection policy will pay out on the occurrence of a specified event, usually in the form of a lump sum payment. An example of this is term insurance, which provides cover for a fixed time period and then has to be renewed.
The main objective of investment policies is to aid the growth of capital by regular or single premiums. Examples of investment policies are whole life, universal life and variable life policies.
As long as the premiums are paid on time, permanent life insurance remains active until the policy matures. The policy can only be cancelled by the insurer if it has been fraudulently set up. As a permanent policy accumulates cash value over time, it becomes less risky for the insurance company and therefore less costly. As policy owner, you can access the cash value of the policy by withdrawing cash, borrowing against it or surrendering the policy.
This is a policy that will provide you with lifetime death benefit coverage for a level premium. Naturally, the premiums are much higher than term premiums at a young age. However, as term premiums rise with age, the cumulative value of all premiums paid out on either type of policy is roughly equal if average life expectancy is achieved.
Additionally, the contract stipulates that you're entitled to a cash value reserve, as part of the policy and guaranteed by the insurer. This can be accessed at any time through policy loans, free of income tax. If there are unpaid loans outstanding at the time of the insured's death, the amount is subtracted from the death benefit.
This is a relatively new insurance product which aims to combine permanent coverage with greater flexibility of premiums, along with the potential for greater growth of cash values. It addresses the perceived disadvantages of whole life—the fact that premiums and benefits are fixed—but this flexibility comes with the disadvantage of reduced guarantees.
This is a type of permanent insurance in which all the premiums are paid over a specified period, after which no additional premiums are due. Common limited pay periods include 10 or 20 years, and are paid out at the age of 65.
These are policies in which the cumulative cash value equals the death benefit at a certain age, known as the endowment age. Endowment policies are considerably more expensive in terms of annual premium due to a shorter paying period.
Accidental death policies are limited to paying out only if the insured should die in an accident. However, they don't generally cover deaths as a result of health problems or suicide. They are much cheaper than other life insurance policies due to the limited nature of the cover.
Depending upon which country you live in, you'll probably need some form of health insurance policy for you and your family. Our insurance advisors will be able to assess your situation and recommend the best form of international health insurance available.
If you are in an EU country, you'll be able to access healthcare using your European Health Insurance Card, which will match whatever healthcare citizens of the country are entitled to. However, this may not cover all health costs—for example, dental care—so it may be worth putting additional health cover in place.

Another G.I. Joe Spin-Off Movie in the Works, Will Feature Chuckles
By Matthew Razak August 12, 2019
The G.I. Joe movie franchise has been dead in the water for a while now, but both Paramount and Hasbro believe they still have something on their hands. They are working on an ensemble spin-off film that will reportedly feature the character Chuckles as one piece of the team.
The film is the second "spin-off" in the works for the G.I. Joe films, which hasn't seen a release since 2013's G.I. Joe: Retaliation, as Paramount and Hasbro attempt to revitalize the franchise after years of stagnation. The first is a Snake-Eyes film that has been in development for years now but is set to release in 2020. This second movie will reportedly focus on a team of "Joes" as an ensemble action flick and is being written by Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies, Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol). It's still in early development, so aside from the inclusion of Chuckles in some role there are little other details.
For those unaware of Chuckles, as might be the case since Paramount is burrowing deeper and deeper in G.I. Joe lore, he came into the G.I. Joe universe in 1987 as both an action figure and character in the Marvel comic book. The character was a spy, specializing in undercover work to infiltrate whatever enemy was being tackled, and lover of Hawaiian shirts.
Maybe the film will be more of a spy thriller than the over-the-top action films that the previous two Joe films were. It makes sense for Paramount to get the ball rolling on the franchise on multiple fronts as it has been one of the more successful toys-to-film franchises to date, pulling in $678 million globally, and the long lull between films only means a loss in awareness and momentum for the public.

Other Abstract This work is supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China "Basic theory and key technology of high efficiency and high maneuver of underwater biomimetic vehicle". The objective of this study is to provide the high efficiency gait for the eel-like robot to be used in real-fluid environments, which can be divided into two subgoals: to improve the anti-disturbance performance of the eel-like robot by providing motion control approaches based on the kinematics and dynamics of an eel-like robot that can compensate for fluid disturbances, modeling errors and noise, and achieve tangential velocity tracking and general curves path following; obtain high-efficiency gaits by analyzing the relationship between the gait parameters of the existing gaits and the tangential velocity. (1) Kinematic and dynamic model based on Newton-Euler method. Due to the complexity of the fluid and the high degree of coupled nature of the robot, it is not conducive to design a controller based on the model, thus the simplified method is needed to simplify or approximate the completely nonlinear model reasonably. Two simplified methods in this paper are used to simplify the original nonlinear model respectively; the approximate reduction method and the parameter symmetry reduction method. The first approximation reduction method aims at the problem that the existing model cannot be directly rewritten into the affine space form. The Taylor series expansion method is used to reasonably approximate the model, but the model error is introduced. The second simplification method aims at the problem that the existing model cannot obtain the tangential sub-dynamic model, defines a special non-inertial frame, uses the parameter symmetry to reduce the model, and establishes the two-dimensional dynamic model in the non-inertial frame. The advantage of this simplified method is that no model errors are introduced. In order to reduce the algorithm running time of the eel-like robot with multiple joint degrees of freedom, a three-dimensional dynamic model of the robot is modeled based on the iterative Newton-Euler method. The introduction of the Euler angle vector makes the algorithm more concise. The model can simulate multiple 3D gaits. (2) Anti disturbance motion control method based on approximate kinematics and simplified dynamic model. To be able to apply the eel-like robot to the real-fluid environments, the motion control algorithm is required to be able to resist fluid disturbances. For the existence of model errors in the underwater fluid environment complex and dynamic model, a piecewise constant adaptive controller based on the Euler one method is designed on the basis of approximate model, which is used for solving the uncertainty caused by the fluid disturbance and compensating the model error introduced by the approximate model, so as to achieve the adaptive tracking of the joint angle. Then, the adaptive control law is corrected in order to realize the control of the orientation angle, and finally the tracking of the orientation angle is achieved. The simulation verified the effectiveness of the adaptive controller under three different disturbances, and verified the effectiveness of the modified adaptive control. The existing speed tracking control method can not deal with the disturbance of the real environment. Combining the gait controller with P-type iterative learning control, the tangential speed tracking control of the "multi-joint" robot is realized. The advantage of this method is that only some limit parameters of the model are needed. The repeatability of the task completely eliminates periodic system disturbances, and it also has a strong ability to suppress random disturbances. Compared with optimization algorithm, small amount of task repetition can achieve better tracking results. In order to solve the problem of curvature limitation for the existing curve-following path control of squid-like robots, based on the approximate kinematics model (assuming that the lateral slip is much smaller than the forward motion), a graded curve method was used to design an arbitrary curve path following controller. It does not require to limit curvature and initial position. The simulations verify the ability of the eel-like robot to follow the different curves in different gait modes from different initial positions, and indicate that it is effective to apply the path following controller to the eel-like robot. Experiments have investigated linear path, curve path following. The results show that the robot can follow the desired 2D curve path. (3) High efficient gait and gait parameter analysis. To get high-efficiency gait, the efficiency index in transportation economy is used to evaluate whether the gait pattern is highly efficient. However, optimizing the criteria directly always leads to singularity. In this paper, the index is decomposed into two sub criteria: power input and tangential velocity. The ratio of power input to tangential velocity is the index of efficiency. The sum of the maximum value of input power plus absolute value is used as input power, which can effectively prevent the instantaneous power excessive. The relationship between input power, tangential velocity and gait parameters in three different gait patterns is analyzed by multi-objective optimization algorithm NSGA-II algorithm. The optimization results show that the new gait pattern consumes less power at the same tangential speed and has a faster speed at the same input power than that of the serpentine gait and the eel-like gait. At present, there are few analysis on three-dimensional gait, where to obtain the relationship between gait parameters and tangential velocity, different gait amplitudes and gait phase shift are separately analyzed by using the simulation platform. The simulation found that the larger the amplitude, the greater the tangential velocity and the larger the phase difference, the smaller the tangential velocity when the amplitude is smaller than a certain amplitude and phase difference in traveling wave gait. In the helix gait pattern, there is an optimal phase shift that minimizes the tangential velocity. The larger the amplitude, the larger the radius of the spiral curve. The larger the phase shift of the gait, the more laps.

Petrohrad (deutsch Petersburg) ist eine Gemeinde in  Okres Louny  in   Tschechien. Sie entstand 1895 durch die Vereinigung der Gemeinde Klumtschan (Chlumčany) mit dem Gut Petersburg (Petršpurk).

Geographie
Die Ortschaft  liegt  in Westböhmen, 21 Kilometer westlich von Rakovník (Rakonitz) im Rakonitzer Bergland am nördlichen Fuße des Spálený vrch (499 m). Durch die Ortsteile Černčice und Bílenec führt die Europastraße 48 / Staatsstraße 6 zwischen Nové Strašecí und Bochov sowie die Eisenbahn von Podbořany nach Blatno.

Nachbarorte sind Černčice und Nový Mlýn im Norden, Bílenec im Nordosten, Chotěšov im Südosten, Jesenice und Krty im Süden sowie Stebno im Südwesten.

Geschichte

Petersburg, dessen Namensgeber Peter von Janovic war, wurde im Jahre 1360 erstmals urkundlich erwähnt. Das Gut gehörte zu den Besitzungen der Burgen Petersburg (Petršpurk) und Springenberg (Šprymberk). Im Laufe der Zeit folgen nach dem Geschlecht von Janovic, die Guttensteiner und die Kolowrat auf Liebstein. 1620 erwarben die Grafen Czernin von und zu Chudenitz den Ort, die hier bis 1945 ansässig blieben.

Gepfarrt war das Dorf bis 1808 nach Steben. Seit 1650 bestand in Petersburg eine Schlosskapelle, die 1785 zur Filialkirche erhoben wurde. Seit dieser Zeit gehörten die Dörfer Tschentschitz, Wilenz, Klumtschan sowie die Neumühle zum Petersburger Sprengel. 1786 kam die heute aufgegebene Ansiedlung Knieschehay (Kněžský háj) noch hinzu. Die Erhebung der Schlosskapelle zur Pfarrkirche erfolgte im Jahre 1808.

Nach der Aufhebung der Patrimonialherrschaften im Jahre 1848 erhielt Petersburg seine Eigenständigkeit. 1895 erfolgte die Vereinigung des Gutes Petersburg (Petršpurk) mit der Gemeinde Klumtschan (Chlumčany) zur Gemeinde Petersburg bzw. Petrohrad.

Nach der Gründung der Tschechoslowakei wurde 1918 der Großgrundbesitz des Hauses Cernin von Chudenitz verstaatlicht.

Nach dem Münchner Abkommen erfolgte 1938 die Angliederung an das Deutsche Reich als Teil des Landkreises Podersam, Regierungsbezirk Eger, im Reichsgau Sudetenland. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg kam Petrohrad zur wiedererrichteten Tschechoslowakei zurück.

Im Zuge der Gemeindegebietsreform von 1960 erfolgte der Zusammenschluss mit Bílenec und Černčice. 1981 wurde Petrohrad mit seinen Ortsteilen nach Kryry eingemeindet und erhielt 1990 seine Selbständigkeit zurück.

Demographie

Gemeindegliederung
Die Gemeinde Petrohrad besteht aus den Ortsteilen Bílenec (Wilenz), Černčice (Tschentschitz) und Petrohrad (Petersburg), die zugleich auch Katastralbezirke bilden. Grundsiedlungseinheiten sind Bílenec, Černčice, Petrohrad und Petrohrad-u nádraží. Zu Petrohrad gehören außerdem die Einschichten Petršpurk und Nový Mlýn (Neumühle).

1. What is the pancreas and pancreatic cancer? The pancreas is a gland located deep in the abdomen. It is surrounded by the stomach, small intestine, liver and spleen. The pancreas has two main functions. One function is called the exocrine function. This involves the production of enzymes that help in digestion. The second function of the pancreas is the endocrine function, which involves the production of hormones, including insulin and glucagon. Islet cells within the pancreas produce and secrete insulin and glucagon into the bloodstream. These hormones work together to maintain the proper level of sugar in the blood. When cells in the pancreas grow out of control, a tumor develops. In most cases of pancreatic cancer, the cells that line the pancreatic duct are involved. This type of pancreatic cancer is an exocrine tumor known as adenocarcinoma. A less common type of pancreatic tumor begins in the islet cells of the pancreas and is known as an endocrine or islet cell tumor.
2. What are the symptoms of pancreatic cancer? The symptoms of pancreatic cancer are vague and may include back or abdominal pain, digestive issues or unexplained weight loss. These symptoms may also indicate a number of other conditions. The symptom that often triggers a pancreatic cancer diagnosis is jaundice, which is yellowing of the skin and eyes. Jaundice is caused by the buildup of a substance called bilirubin in the blood. In the case of pancreatic cancer, jaundice may occur if a tumor on the head of the pancreas obstructs the bile duct, causing this buildup of bilirubin.
3. Who is at risk? Recent research studies indicate that 30 percent of pancreatic cancer cases are linked to smoking and another 10 percent are said to have a hereditary (or familial) link. We also know that the incidence among African Americans is 50-90 percent higher than any other ethnic group in the United States. And, there is an even greater risk of pancreatic cancer among Ashkenazi Jews. Some of the other risk factors scientists are currently studying include: diabetes, chronic and hereditary pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), obesity, physical activity, and diet.
4. What treatment options are available? The standard treatments for pancreatic cancer include chemotherapy and/or radiation. Some patients may be eligible for a surgery called the Whipple procedure, where part of the pancreas is removed. Other methods of treatment can include biological therapies, and/or complementary and alternative therapies. Clinical trials in pancreatic cancer are also available and should be considered when selecting a treatment option. The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network has a comprehensive and up-to-date database of pancreatic cancer clinical trials throughout the country and can perform personalized clinical trials searches for patients.
5. There is hope for pancreatic cancer patients. Receiving the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer can be a frightening moment for both the patient and the family. It is important to realize that there is hope and resources available to help them through their journey. The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network's Patient and Liaison Services (PALS) program provides patients and their families with the most current information on the disease, from treatment options and clinical trials, to diet and nutrition information, and symptom management. And, our Survivor and Caregiver Network puts patients and their families in touch with people who can share their experiences, and offer support and inspiration. All of our services and materials are free of charge.

REMEMBERING JOHN MCGAHERN
I came to John McGahern far too late in the game. He first hit my radar via a TLS year-end round up that mentioned his last novel That They May Face The Rising Sun. I ordered a long distance copy from the UK, and bought the paperback when it was issued in the United States under the banal title By The Lake. The book sent me off in search of his other writing and by the end he became part of a trio of my favorite contemporary Irish novelists, bookended by William Trevor and another author I mention here from time to time.
Like many McGahern fans, I was very excited at the news of the release of his memoir All Will Be Well. (You can read an excerpt here.) I recently received a copy from the fine people at Knopf and had set it aside - it was to be my post LBC-reading treat. (I was planning to start it this weekend.) There had been talk with the publicity people at Knopf of an interview here. But when he cancelled his recent US appearances I was concerned, fearing an announcement like this might follow.
As Ian McEwan recently said of Saul Bellow, the death of a beloved author naturally sends you back to the bookshelves. I'll be thumbing through some fine novels this weekend but I'll also take up his memoir and begin reading it - slowly, savoring what I know will be the last new words from John McGahern.
He's woefully unappreciated in this country, so perhaps you'll take a moment to visit some of these links below and take his measure. And if you like some of what you see, try one of his books. Perhaps you'll be fortunate enough to begin your own love affair with this quietly powerful writer. The joy of discovery awaits you. I'm terribly sad to see him go.

In his final Guardian interview, he said something that I think sums him up quite well. I'll leave you with these words to consider, and if they resonate at all then I suspect you'll embrace his books:
I think that it is by focusing on the local that you can best capture that change. If you were to focus on the universal, you'd end up with vagueness. John Donne said, "Let us make one little room, and everywhere." That's what I believe, really, that everything interesting begins with one person and one place.
Have a good weekend, all. We'll be staying out of the rain with our copy of All Will Be Well, saying goodbyes to John McGahern.

MCGAHERN DIES
We are deeply saddened to learn of the death of John McGahern.
We're in meetings today, so a proper appreciation will have to wait until tomorrow, but the Guardian runs one of the many notable obituaries out there.
(Thanks to Laurie Muchnick and Andrew Deacon for the news.)
TICKNOR
The latest issue of Boldtype is out and it features our review of Sheila Heti's marvelous debut novel Ticknor.
You will be hearing much more about this from us in the weeks ahead but for now we'll say this: It is precisely the kind of book we began blogging in the hopes of finding.
Check out our review here.
THE COMPANY OF BOOKS
What follows is a lovely speech delivered by John Daniel on the occasion of a Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association award for his memoir Rogue River Journal. We reprint it here with the kind permission of Daniel's publishers, Shoemaker and Hoard. It's a lovely piece of work that we'll now allow to speak for itself. Now go hug your local bookseller.
Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Awards Banquet
As I was growing up in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., in the 1950s and early 60s, books were all around our house. Many kinds, from fine sets of Shakespeare and Francis Parkman, to early coffee-table books such as The Family of Man, to baseball books and the Freddy the Pig stories my brother and I loved, to the cheap paperback novels with lurid covers that my father liked for recreational reading. It was common to see both my parents reading, my father with his half-frame glasses in his maple rocker, my mother in the morris chair or on the sofa. Neither of them, that I recall, read out loud very much to my brother and me. They did something better: they read books themselves, in our presence, allowing us to absorb their silent statement that to read was to do something valid and valuable.
But books to me were about more than reading. I liked to touch them, hold them, see them arrayed on shelves in the living room. Once, when I preferred to be alone—an old impulse of mine—I got rid of my best friend by feigning an avid interest in a volume of Macauley's History of England. The text did not engross me, but the book itself did. I liked the grainy paper, the feel of the rough fore-edges of the pages. I liked the hard gray covers, embossed with opulent lettering. I liked the substantial heft in my hands. And I loved the smell, both musty and fresh, that filled my nose when I buried it in the book's open spine. It was a smell like no other; it seemed as old and mysterious as England itself.
" ... his small ode entitles us to suspect, at least, that Thoreau was a book sniffer too. "
I still like to smell books, and I know I'm not alone. I suspect, in fact, that many in this room are book sniffers, closeted or out. A certain poet I knew, and some of you knew him too, once claimed that he could find his way around the Lewis & Clark College Library just by the smell of the books. "Books from Britain smell different from American books," William Stafford said. And he said, in his not-quite-kidding way, "Some people judge writing by how it sounds or looks. I judge it by how it smells. I want that total experience of language."
An earlier American, Henry David Thoreau, wrote in his journal one day in 1850, "A truly good book is something as wildly natural and primitive, mysterious and marvelous, ambrosial and fertile, as a fungus or lichen." He was referring to the ideas and spirit of a good book, the wild, uncivilized thinking that absorbs us in Lear or The Iliad, but the sensory gusto of his small ode entitles us to suspect, at least, that Thoreau was a book sniffer too.
I knew one man who went further. At Stanford in the 1980s I met the great Conrad scholar Ian Watt, now dead. An Englishman, Watt was one of the World War Two prisoners who built the bridge over the River Kwai. In the squalor and privation of the prison camp, he had managed to hang onto—appropriately enough—a copy of Dante's Inferno. Someone else had a store of tobacco. No one had a pipe or papers. Which would it be, then—the solace of one of the great achievements of the human imagination, or the comfort of an occasional smoke? Watt chose both. He memorized the Inferno, one page at a time, then tore the page from the book and ripped it into as many rolling papers as it would make. With his cohorts in slavery, he took the warmth of paper and ink into his lungs, and Dante Alighieri into his mind and heart.
Book. The word has heft and grain and smell in its own history. "Book" is directly related to "beech," the species of tree, with an original sense of beechwood sticks on which runes were carved. That early book must have been a versatile thing. Besides what edification and inspiration it might provide, it could be leaned on when one was tired, kindled to start a fire, or gripped hard to bang robbers on the head. (I needed such a book one night in my Rogue River solitude when I awoke dead certain that an intruder had entered the cabin. Fumbling in the dark at my bedside table, my hand found only a softcover Icelandic novel with which to defend myself.)
On balance, though, I'll take the modern book. Beechwood sticks might smell nice but would smell pretty much alike, whereas our books form a lovely array of olfactory delights, as various as single-malt whiskies. And anyway, that old wooden book was worthless for pressing flowers, resting a coffee mug on, or riffling with one's fingers for the pure pleasure.
No one knows what all goes into the making of a writer, but surely—along with the mother complex, the poor social skills, the exhibitionism parading behind modesty, the limitless ego, and the perverse unwillingness to work a real job—along with those factors and more, surely a love of the book as physical thing must play a part. A writer, I suspect, wants more than to write a book. He wants to be a book, and to some extent he is.
And what of you, dear booksellers? What are the secrets of your psyche? Surely it wasn't only the money and sheer glamour of the trade that attracted you. But what, then? Were you habitually naïve and optimistic as children? Did you actually imagine that you could spend your lives on this most impractical excursion from reality?
Perhaps it was this simple: you could not imagine a career without the close company of this lively, fragrant creature, the book. And perhaps it was this simple too: you formed a conviction that good books ought to have a public, that they can speak for themselves only if read, and that in order to be read they must first be spoken for, they must be spirited from the shelf to the hand of the reader by a friendly and knowledgeable advocate.
Thank you for being that advocate.
And thank you for selecting Rogue River Journal for this award, which does me great honor and gives me great happiness.
THE FOLLOWING PREVIEW APPROVED FOR ALL AUDIENCES
So, some time ago we made some snotty comments about n+1 and we were challenged in the comments box to back them up. The timing wasn't quite right but the announcement at the n+1 website that issue number four is about to go to press provides us with a sterling opportunity.
We'd like to come back and give the magazine a fair shot on its own merits. But it seemed that merely critiquing it was, well, not that interesting, and besides we already do something like that (sometimes) with the LATBR.
But we thought it was an opportunity to measure it side by side against The Believer, another publication we've been a tad snotty about in the past. (And yes, we acknowledge that our propensity for snottiness can land us into trouble.) The comparison seems to us a fairly obvious one - both are well-meaning enterprises, a bit earnest a times but essentially aiming to elevate the discourse, and both are run by editors who can be startlingly thin-skinned.
So mark it on your calendars. As soon as n+1 issue number four is on the newsstands we'll pick it up - they stopped sending us copies after the first issue - and we'll give it a fair and thoughtful reading. We'll measure it up against whatever issue of The Believer is out at the time, and we'll devote an entire week to it, in stage race fashion (not unlike the Tour de France - perhaps we'll even award a daily yellow jersey). The stages are as follows:
(Monday) Prologue: Complete disclosure about any personal biases, followed by overall first impressions.
(Tuesday) Stage 1: n+1 Long features v. Believer Long features.
(Wednesday) Stage 2: n+1 Interviews/profiles v. Believer interviews/profiles
(Thursday) Stage 3: n+1 reviews v. Believer reviews
(Friday) Stage 4: Miscellany and a declaration of preference.
We welcome the opportunity to challenge our own preconceptions and give both magazines a fair shot. (The presence of a Believer book in our recommended sidebar should speak volumes about our capacity for objectivity.) We hope you'll be back for the fun, join the conversation and read along.

KIRIYAMA PRIZE
The Kiriyama Prize has gone to Luis Alberto Urrea's lovely novel The Hummingbird's Daughter.
The prize is given to authors whose works contribute to a better understanding of the peoples and nations of the Pacific Rim and South Asia. Each writer receives $15,000 US.
"These two books bring us a deeper sense of our common humanity, and that is above all what we hope for in books recognized by the Kiriyama Prize," award administrator Peter J. Coughlan said in a statement Tuesday.
The Hummingbird's Daughter received one of its earliest raves in Daniel Olivas' guest review right here at TEV - a review that's excerpted in the newly released paperback version. Olivas, a tireless champion of the title, also conducted an interview with Urrea for us.

MOSLEY MONOGRAPH
Switching hats, Walter Mosley sits for this interview in which he discuss his non-fiction monograph Life Out of Context.
As the title suggests, Mosley searches for a political context, beginning within his own professional life and moving on to the tragedies of the African continent. Ruminating on the idea of context, Mosley writes: "I am living in a time that has no driving social framework for a greater good. There are many, many disparate notions about how to make a better world, but these are just so many voices singing a thousand songs in different keys, registers and styles -- a choir of bedlam."
He argues that it's irresponsible and dangerous to leave the fate of the world up to political leaders because they "are just as likely to mislead as they are to lead." He rightly points out that our political experts "are not interested in the truth. Their only goal is to prove a point of view."
STOPPARD ON FREE SPEECH
We're great admirers of Tom Stoppard - he's sort of our Banville of playwrights. We can be counted on to eagerly lap up nearly everything he does (excluding his film work, that is), so imagine our surprise at this rather limp, unsatisfying argument that free speech is not an inalienable human right.
Freedom of speech, far from being an absolute, a given, seems to have less to do with rights than with rules. But that's the good news. Now we can avoid the clash of absolutes, the endless, enervating, futile confrontation of irresistible forces and immovable objects. How did the concept of free speech as an inherent human right get into such a mess? It did so because we persist in the notion of a "right" as something to be claimed rather than accorded. While claim and counter-claim are presented as absolutes, this is a debate that not only will have no resolution but cannot have a resolution.
Yeah. OK. We get the whole "whose rights" question but that kind of reasoning can be extended to argue that not even life (and certainly not liberty) is an inalienable human right - rather, we merely all agree (most of the time) to live and let live, that it's generally preferable to be alive.
It's a worthy goal Stoppard is striving for - to remove intractable absolutes from the equation and turn it into a more reasoned negotiation. And it's argued in its usual witty - albeit mushily circular - fashion. And from a purely objective, scientific and rational stance (Stoppard's preferred pose), it's hard to argue with.
And yet it feels wrong. And this coming from an atheist who takes no solace in the notion of divinely bestowed rights. Perhaps it's merely that one doesn't want Stoppard to be right. One wants to believe that we're destined for better things ... Either way, it's hard to imagine the colonists getting sufficiently worked up over the "proposed rule of free speech," don't you think? The downside is that intractable absolutes can cause people to fight. The upside is that they occasionally cause the same.
STANISLAW LEM DIES
As has been widely reported elsewhere, science fiction giant Stanislaw Lem has died.
He sold more than 27 million copies of his works, translated into about 40 languages, and a number were filmed.
His 1961 novel Solaris was made into a movie by Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky in 1971 and again by American Steven Soderbergh in 2002.

People's Testimonials
There's a page on Forex Peace Army with connected trading results. Neither the company nor the EA is reviewed.
FX Classic Trader Review Summary
The presentation looks like it was designed for several hours, and no one checked it after that. It includes many manipulations, lies, and little useful information. We can't be sure that the results we saw belong to this EA. Trading results warn us that the EA has different profitability, win-rate. The Profit Factor nowadays and in the nearest past varies in times with it at the start of trading. The vendor doesn't provide a money-back guarantee. So, buying this is a one-way ticket.

Kamuran Yüksek: Tens of people massacred in Cizre - UPDATE
DBP Co-President Kamuran Yüksek said that state forces attacked both of the basements in Cizre where wounded people had been waiting to be evacuated.
Monday, 8 Feb 2016, 13:50
The DBP and HDP delegation that has been trying to reach the wounded people in Cizre but forced to turn back due to obstructions held a press conference in Mardin Metropolitan Municipality regarding the massacre of dozens.
DBP Co-President Kamuran Yüksek said that state forces attacked both of the basements in Cizre where wounded people had been waiting to be evacuated. Yüksek noted that the medics who reached the second basement, where nearly 60 wounded had sought refuge, said that they saw tens of dead bodies. He called upon all peoples to show their most effective democratic reactions to the massacre.
'THE STATE HAS TAKEN THE CHANCE OF ALL OPTIONS INCLUDING MASSACRE'
In his statement, Kamuran Yüksek reminded that the AKP has been in a war alliance with the military, Ergenekon and other factions, and has taken the chance of all options including perpetuating massacres. DBP Co-President said that they had been warning the public and doing everything they could in order to evacuate the tens of wounded civilians in Cizre, but the war alliance only worked towards preventing this evacuation and ensuring the death of the wounded civilians. Yüksek stated that they tried to enter Cizre yesterday in order to put an end to this savagery once and for all, but were prevented by state forces. He confirmed that state forces attacked the two basements in Cudi neighborhood where tens of wounded civilians had been waiting for ambulances.
'TENS OF DEAD BODIES'
Kamuran Yüksek clarified that one of the basements was where 26 wounded people had sought refuge and 7 of them had died, whereas the other basement was where around 60 wounded people had taken shelter. Today, medics finally reached the basement housing 60 wounded people and said that there were tens of dead bodies in the basement. Yüksek informed the public that the state was planning to carry these dead bodies to Malatya and the staff at Cizre State Hospital had no knowledge about the condition of the wounded people because state forces locked all the staff in one room. Yüksek stated that the state was preventing the flow of accurate information with the aim of distorting the reality on the ground, and state media sources were giving conflicting numbers on the death toll for this purpose. He emphasized that no matter what the death toll was, the state clearly perpetuated a massacre in Cizre.
'PERPETRATORS WILL BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE'
Yüksek said that the perpetrators of the massacre would be brought to justice, and called upon Kurdish and other peoples to show their most effective democratic reactions to the massacre. DBP Co-President warned that with this massacre, the state might be testing the waters for worse calamities, and emphasized that they would never forget the massacre of Cizre.

In our high-speed culture, terms like "stressed-out," "Type-A personality," "biofeedback," and "relaxation response" have become commonplaces. More than ever before, we are aware of the relationship between our mental and emotional states and our physical well-being. Findings from the field of psychophysiology, which investigates the reflexive interaction between psychology and physiology, have revised our approach to illness and its prevention and treatment. We know, for example, that stress, combined with other factors, increases vulnerability to heart attack and stroke. Successful treatment must include lifestyle changes to reduce the effects of stress on the body.
In this important text, Kenneth Hugdahl presents a comprehensive introduction to the history, methods, and applications of psychophysiology and explores other areas concerned with the "mind–body interface," such as psychosomatic medicine, behavioral medicine, clinical psychology, psychiatry, neuropsychology, and cognitive neuroscience. By showing how social, behavioral, cognitive, and emotional events are mirrored in physiological processes, he gives us a clearer understanding of complex cognitive processes.
This book illustrates psychophysiology's importance as a research and clinical tool and highlights its many contributions to the assessment and diagnosis of physical disorders. It also provides a framework for extending psychophysiological insights to other areas of psychology and neuroscience.

Emancipation and Training Day director Antoine Fuqua will be at the helm of the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic. The film, titled 'Michael', is written by John Logan and produced by 'Bohemian Rhapsody' producer Graham King, alongside the co-executors of the Michael Jackson Estate, John Branca and John McClain. No word yet on who might be playing the King of Pop.
Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Chairman Joe Drake said in a statement: "Antoine is a perceptive and powerful filmmaker, and we feel very fortunate that he has chosen Michael as his next project. His visionary storytelling skills and commitment to his craft will make Michael an unforgettable film."
Producer Grahm King added, "Antoine's films provide personal perspectives of larger-than-life characters that continuously captivate global audiences. I'm confident that Antoine will make an exceptional and compelling film that will both celebrate and give profound new insights into the life of the King of Pop."
'Michael' will chronicle the life and career of Jackson, though it has not yet been revealed which parts of the late singer's life the biopic will focus on. Press releases stated that the film will "make the most of Jackson's musical accomplishments and recreation of seminal career," starting with his rise to fame as a child singer in 'The Jackson 5' to his solo success as an adult. It is also reported that 'Michael' will touch on the scandals that plagued Jackson's personal life, including allegations of sexual abuse that had been leveled against the singer.

NFS Unbound: Beginner's guide Need for Speed Unbound guide
Beginner's guide is a page in the Need for Speed Unbound guide with interesting information and tips for new players that will get you off to a better start in the game and tell you what to pay attention to and what to ignore.
Last update: Friday, December 2, 2022
Next Basics Vehicle list Prev Need for Speed Unbound Guide
This page of the guide contains a list of tips for Need for Speed Unbound. You will find out which races to choose.
Make progress as fast as possible
Deposit large amounts of money
The number of retries is limited
Choose high-value but low-risk races
By changing the downforce of the car, you modify the points of the vehicle
Use nitro wisely
Explore gas stations
Story-wise, the first hour of the game doesn't matter to you in terms of vehicles or money you get. After driving Alec's car to the designated place, your progress will be reset. You will start with a new garage, no cash or cars available before. So try to get to this point as quickly as possible, ignoring side activities.
You will probably quickly notice that some of the money you earn during the day is marked in red in the upper right corner of the screen. Deposit them in a hideout to keep them safe - it's worth unlocking new hideouts in different parts of the city. You will lose your cash when you get caught by the police. You can also use "unsecured" cash, e.g. to pay race entry fees.
Almost every race can be repeated, but only a few times. You cannot retry some occasional challenges and special races (such as those where you can win a new vehicle). In addition, the number of retries available is affected by the selected difficulty level.
The Heat level indicator, a flame symbol, determines the intensity of the police activity against you. It resets on the next day, but remains unchanged when changing from daytime to nighttime. Changing cars won't help you. For this reason, it's a good idea to limit your participation in race only to those you really want to play and start with the ones that will raise the threat meter the least.
Want to lower or raise a car's tier by a few points without buying parts? Open the vehicle settings menu and change the downforce level. Each click to the left raises the tier. A click to the right - lowers it. This is obviously an extreme solution, because when you increase downforce, the car can become slower and more difficult to control. However, in extreme cases, it will allow you to use one vehicle to participate in races in both tiers (if you apply modifications that bring you closer to a round number of tier, such as 200, 300).
Adjust those settings before starting the race - during the race the settings will be unavailable.
There are two nitro modes in NFS Unbound: the yellow and the blue bar, visible in the lower right corner.
Yellow recharges faster and allows you to trigger a one-time, small pulse by quickly pressing the boost button. It will allow you to easily eliminate opponents, but if it is not used quickly, the chance will be lost. By charging it to level 3 (maximum fill) you will receive a huge buff that will allow you to reach almost maximum speed, so it's worth charging the bar if you have a chance and not using it up too early.
The blue bar is a classic boost - it charges slowly and doesn't give you a huge buff, but it's long-lasting. Never let it remain full, because then the acquired supply is simply lost. Nitro can be charged while driving dynamically and dangerously: drifting, jumping, driving past other drivers while being really close to them or following another vehicle in a wind tunnel.
It is worth using the boost to get out of the too long drift quickly and stabilize the vehicle.
On street corners you will find gas stations; they are not associated with secrets, although each new discovery is permanently added to the world map. They allow you to repair the car and charge nitro, e.g. before taking on a nearby challenge.

Jeff Sessions And Donald Trump Both Back A Tough Gun Prosecutions Program
Nov. 19, 2016 , at 8:00 AM
By Carl Bialik
Filed under Trump Cabinet
Jeff Sessions, Donald Trump's pick for attorney general, has been an outspoken supporter of a crime-fighting program called Project Exile. The approach has fallen out of favor, but Trump indicated during the campaign that he wants to expand it.
I wrote in July about the history of Project Exile, which brought together police and prosecutors to take gun-crime cases to federal court in order to impose longer sentences in prisons far from home. It began in Richmond, Virginia, in 1997 and spread to many other cities, first one by one, and then more broadly in 2001 after George W. Bush took Exile national under the name Project Safe Neighborhoods.
Sessions has frequently praised Exile, along with its predecessors and offshoots. "We have the right approach," Sessions said in a speech on the floor of the Senate in 2005. "It was proven by the U.S. attorney in Richmond. It is being replicated all over America today. The Attorney General [Alberto Gonzales] is driving this as one of his highest priorities, and if we stay on it, we are going to continue to see the murder rate in this country go down."
But early promising reductions in gun violence in Richmond and other cities proved difficult to replicate or to tie definitively to the program. The national murder rate didn't budge much for most of Bush's presidency1 then started falling in 2008, Bush's last year in office. (The gun murder rate followed a similar trajectory.) Obama de-emphasized and defunded Exile and its offshoots; neither the overall murder rate nor the gun-homicide rate rose for most of his presidency. But the murder rate rose sharply in 2015 and has continued to rise this year, fueling Trump's campaign calls for an increased emphasis on law and order.
Trump's campaign website has touted Exile's success for over a year. It's possible that Sessions praised Exile to Trump; they appeared together at a rally in Mobile, Alabama, in August 2015. Spokespeople for both men didn't respond to requests for comment for my July article; I've contacted them again Friday to ask if Trump and Sessions plan to reintroduce Exile.
There were 5.5 murders per 100,000 people the year before he took office, 5.6 his first year in office, and between 5.5 and 5.8 in each year through 2007.

The meausre applies to all pupils up to age of 15. Teachers are tired of the "unending war" against these devices.
France will ban mobile phones in primary and secondary schools, the Minister of Education announced.
The measure will come into effect in September 2018 and will apply to children up to age of 15.
Pupils will be allowed to bring their phones to school, but not allowed to get them out at any time until they leave, even during breaks.
The ban does not apply to activities in which mobile devices are used for educational purposes.
Some universities in France have already been banning mobile phones for some time.
The Education Minister, Jean-Michel Blanquer, has said the measure is a "public health message to families".
"It's good that children are not too often, or even at all, in front of a screen before the age of seven", the minister said.
In an interview with a national television broadcaster, he added: "Children don't play at break time anymore, they are just all in front of their smartphones and from an educational point of view that's a problem".
Many teachers had expressed in the last years a growing frustration in the "unending war" against mobile phones in the classroom. But the French headteachers' union has also been skeptical that the ban could be enforced.
President Emmanuel Macron had pledged to ban mobile phones in schools in his pre-election manifesto.


Industrial settings have a reputation of being cold, drab places, particularly with being typically grey and plain. So, while incredibly practical, they understandably aren't famed for their aesthetics. Uninteresting and industrial flooring don't need to fall under the same schema, as you shouldn't have to choose between high performance flooring and aesthetics.
All floors have specific features, meaning you can choose the right option for your client's particular industrial setting – if they require a floor that performs well under high levels of traffic, or one that is highly resistant to chemical spills, for example, you can certainly find exactly what you're looking for in the vast range of flooring products.
While it's easy to think that aesthetics may not be factored in during the decision, the truth is that there's an attractive flooring type for every circumstance and requirement.
If an industrial setting needs to withstand a lot of traffic, whether from footfall or heavy machinery, you will no doubt want to choose flooring specifically designed to prevent falls in the workplace. Epoxy resin is a great example of this. Not only does it look glossy and appealing to customers – and reveals an employer's dedication to cleanliness – but it's also slip-resistant, so people won't easily slip or fall in the workplace.
In 2014 and 2015 there were 611,000 injuries at work, a figure that could be reduced by industrial flooring which is designed to prevent accidents and injuries – the added benefit of which is helping employers cut down on the cost of sick days.
In an industrial setting, it's imperative to consider your flooring; it experiences intense impact every day. As such, it's crucial that the flooring is durable. Many types of flooring are both durable and visually appealing, as is the case with slate, marble and granite, which can benefit many industrial settings due to the fact that they're not only hardwearing but sturdy and attractive.
Concrete is also a very long-lasting flooring, and it's typically applied in its polished form in industrial settings. This material is resilient for heavy-duty applications, such as the impact from footfall and machinery traffic, and is also resistant to staining and stress. It also presents a shiny finish, which makes it more visually appealing than a cliché grey flooring system.
Left untreated, however, it's a different matter, as concrete can appear rough and uneven. If polished, it creates cleaner-looking industrial flooring and also helps improve lighting, since it can also be semi-reflective – a characteristic it shares with marble and granite.
Smooth, shiny surfaces, such as marble, granite, epoxy and polished concrete, make maintenance and cleaning extremely easy, meaning they are hygienic and appropriate for many different industries – particularly the food sector. Their shininess not only serves to make the floor look immaculate and clean, but particularly sanitary to anyone who may visit the premises; it's paramount to make great first impressions to both customers and investors.
In order to take full advantage of your warehouse, factory or processing plant, it's important to make full use of the floor – an element which can be overlooked through having a disorganised floor layout.
Creating segmented areas on the floor can help separate storage and shipping areas, for instance, as well as demarcating the exact locations where packaging or product assembly occurs and where forklifts and other machinery should be parked. So not only is it effectively efficient, but also addresses potential safety hazards through denoting the separate paths of machinery and footfall; the clear and durable demarcation qualities of epoxy resinous flooring lends itself to this perfectly.
While selecting an aesthetically pleasing flooring solution isn't the top priority in an industrial setting, it needn't be selected for purely superficial purposes. There are greatly practical implications, from durability to efficiency, and with the bespoke range of flooring types available, there is sure to be something to address your individual industrial needs.
