TIGA urges UK government to protect rights of EU workers following Brexit
15% of UK games industry made up of migrants from other EU countries
TIGA
Richard Wilson CEO TIGA
July 5th, 2016 - 02:15pm
By Ric Cowley, Editor
UK games trade association TIGA is urging the UK government to protect the rights of existing EU workers in the wake of Brexit.
TIGA research predicts that 15 percent of the UK games development workforce originates from other EU countries.
And there are growing concerns that the government will be asked to leave the country following the UK's departure from the EU.
Safety and assurance
"The existing rights of EU workers already present and working in the UK should be protected so that they can continue to live and work in the UK with the confidence and assurance that they are not going to be asked to leave the UK at some stage," said Richard Wilson, TIGA's CEO.
"This is just, reasonable and practical."
"The Government must also clarify the status of EU workers who enter the UK following the EU referendum and prior to the UK's exit from the EU."
You can read the full statement, as well as Wilson's suggestions for a new migration system, on TIGA's website.
You can also see what prominent figures in the UK games industry have to say about the impact of Brexit here.

My simple pleasure this week?
Getting up early for school has made me value my morning coffee even more. Dunkin' Donuts with a touch of Peppermint Mocha Coffeemate.
It's great on summer days too, but on school mornings, it's a quiet, calming morning moment.
fresh-ground starbucks french roast. my mother-in-law is my supplier. if i am buying - cafe bustello. it's a ground espresso in a lovely yellow can. i use it like regular coffee. can you tell i like it strong? i have to mix it with decaf to keep from having a heart attack!
I am drinking Folger decaf, with reg. creme, but the Peppermint Mocha sure sounds good to me. I must try it, Thanks for sharing.
mmm... what's not to like about peppermint mocha! i love my coffee in the morning too... some days i wish i could sip slowly though instead of GULP! back to school is crazy, isn't it?! it's beena while since i've been over here... i LOVE your blog header!!
I would hate to think of a world without coffee, especially morning coffee. It's just the perfect way to start the day.

Novartis has sealed an $150 million deal with Xencor to develop antibody drugs that bind cancer-killing T-cells with tumour cells.
The collaboration and licensing agreement to develop bispecific antibodies adds to its already extensive immuno-oncology pipeline.
Bispecific antibodies are a promising next-generation version of the well established biologic drugs – Roche's haemophilia drug ACE910 (in phase 3 trials) and Amgen's Blincyto (blinatumomab, approved in 2014) are two notable examples of drugs using the technology.
While traditional monoclonal antibodies target and bind to a single antigen, bispecific antibodies target two different antigens, which makes them potentially more effective in targeting complex diseases. A T-cell engaging bi-specific antibody is able to bind an antigen on a tumour cell with one arm and engage T-cells capable of their destruction with the other.
Novartis has been playing catch up in immuno-oncology for some time, and the Xencor deal now gives it a virtually full checklist of all the promising platforms in the field today.
Its immuno-oncology portfolio includes novel checkpoint inhibitors, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) technology, myeloid cell targeting agents, the T-cell stimulating factor IL-15, STING agonists that enhance immune recognition of cancers, and adenosine receptor antagonists and TGF-beta blocking antibodies that overcome immunosuppression in the tumour microenvironment.
The Swiss pharma firm will co-develop the California-based biotech's antibody specialist two T-cell engaging bispecific antibodies targeting acute myeloid leukaemia and B-cell malignancies.
Novartis will receive rights to develop four additional drugs and the right to use Xencor's antibody engineering platform to develop up to 10 additional antibodies for immuno-oncology and other diseases.
The companies will collaborate to co-develop Xencor's two bi-specific T-cell engaging antibodies targeting CD3xCD123 and CD3xCD20 for the treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia and B-cell malignancies.
Seven of Novartis' immuno-oncology programmes are in the clinic and five more are expected to enter the clinic individually and as combinations by the end of 2016.
Xencor is receiving a $150 million upfront payment from Novartis and the two companies will equally share the cost to jointly develop two Xencor antibodies targeting the CD3 domain. Xencor retains full US commercial rights to these drugs, and Novartis has ex-US commercial rights.
In addition to these antibodies, Novartis receives worldwide rights to develop and commercialise four additional bi-specific drugs, with Xencor eligible to "opt in" to one of these drugs in the U.S.

Four deaths, nine injuries in 27 vehicle chain-reaction
Poor visibility led to a pile-up involving 27 vehicles, which tragically claimed four lives. The crash occurred in February around 8:10 am in the westbound lanes of Interstate 16 near Montrose, Georgia while motorists were picking their way through thick fog – possibly intensified by smoke from a nearby controlled burn - during their morning commute.
Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) dispatched crews to Dublin for placement of signage to caution motorists after 911-communications relayed a message that several motorists had reported low visibility along the Interstate. Trucks carrying warning signs were still on the way when the crash occurred almost 30 minutes later, shutting down both eastbound and westbound lanes of I-16 traffic for more than six hours.
Assorted cars, pickup-trucks, along with seven 18-wheelers were involved in the crash. Vehicles that pulled-off the roadway onto the shoulder were rear-ended by vehicles driven by other motorists also attempting to avoid the carnage. Billowing black smoke from an exploded, fume-filled tanker-trailer further impeded visibility. Nine crash victims were transported to Fairview Park Hospital in Dublin for treatment of crash-related injures. Three deaths were initially reported by emergency workers. A fourth body was later uncovered when crews were cleaning up the quarter-mile littered with charred vehicles and broken glass.
According to news reports, perishing in the crash were:
Michael Jarome Smith (Convington)
Clayton and Josephine Warnock (Dublin)
Jeff Moore (Effingham County)
Captain Kirk McGlamery of the Georgia State Patrol indicated officers will be reconstructing the crash scene to determine exactly what triggered the chain-reaction, and whether the controlled burn permit issued for the previous day for a location in the vicinity of the crash site had extended into Wednesday and compounded the poor visibility from the fog.
I-16 extends 170 miles from Macon to Savannah. This is a heavily-used route by commercial haulers transporting loads between the bustling seaport in Savannah and Atlanta, as well as travelers connecting with I-95 spanning much of the Eastern Seaboard.
The National Weather Service had issued a dense fog advisory for the area on that Wednesday morning, and then later reported that visibility was less than a quarter-mile during the timeframe when the 27 vehicle pile-up occurred.

PR: Health Wizz launches decentralized mobile platform to enable patients to take control over their health data
December 13, 2017 By Crypto Reporter PR
Health Wizz announced the launch of its blockchain-powered technology solution to address the mounting Electronic Health Records (EHR) problem and give consumers control over their medical data. Built with the belief that people must have the ability to access and manage their health information electronically, the Health Wizz secure, decentralized mobile platform enables people to aggregate, organize and share personal medical health records securely and efficiently.
As consumers gain greater awareness, they have greater expectations. They expect to be in control of their health and their health data and this includes the ability to access their health information anytime, anywhere. However, the healthcare industry lacks comprehensive, easy-to-use tools and systems that allow individuals to own and share their health data in a secure and private environment.
"My mother was admitted to ER last year. Doctors couldn't find anything wrong. Shortly after, she was readmitted to another hospital. They repeated all of the tests because the first hospital would not share her medical records. That is a lot of time and money wasted. My mother is not alone. Testing redundancies add an estimated $25 billion to the nation's healthcare costs," said Raj Sharma, chief executive officer of Health Wizz. "This is completely avoidable. We envision a future where consumers own their medical health data and can easily organize and share their records, in a secure fashion, at little to no cost. The launch of the Health Wizz platform is the first step in bringing this vision to reality."
Despite significant growth – the global EHR market is expected to reach USD 33.41 billion by 2025 – the adoption of EHR has been fraught with problems, including data breaches, scalability, interoperability and data integration. Furthermore, the rise of EHR has also led to companies profiteering from the selling and trading of personal medical records, often without the consumer's knowledge. The mobile platform developed by Health Wizz addresses these problems by returning ownership of medical health records back to the consumer.
"Medical records and data management are some of the greatest impediments to quality health care," said Dr. Nitin Desai, chief medical officer of Health Wizz. "We have seen MHR inaccuracies, data integration problems and privacy concerns in regards to the buying and selling of personal data. Your health is your greatest asset. Your health data records are your second greatest asset. We believe that people must be in control of their health records. It is your body, your data."
Today, healthcare providers manage inefficiencies by trying to manually reconcile medical data among numerous clinics, hospitals, labs, pharmacies, and insurance companies. This does not work because the single record of your health data and where and how it was added or amended does not exist. Further, despite improvements to data standards, each electronic health record (EHR) is stored differently, so it is not obvious who recorded what and when.
The Health Wizz mobile platform leverages blockchain technology to provide consumers with the tools they need to aggregate, manage and share their medical data with stakeholders, including research organizations and pharmaceutical companies, all while ensuring data integrity and protecting patient's privacy.
"Dubbed the most innovative technology since the Internet, blockchain eliminates the middleman between the patient and his or her medical health records. We've developed a platform based on blockchain, data management and mobile technologies that shifts the locus of control from medical institutions back to the patient, enabling people to take control of their own data", said Sirish Bajpai, chief technology officer of Health Wizz. "Health Wizz doesn't store health records on the blockchain. It stores a signature of the record on a blockchain and provides secure access to the patient, who is ultimately in control of when, where, how and who can access that record. This digital signature also assures the integrity of the record," Bajpai said.
How Does It Work: Managing Your Health Records With Digital Tokens
The use of blockchain in health information data flow allows the use of cryptocurrency to incentivize contribution of individual health data for research, analytics and precision medicine. Parties desiring to acquire health data from users will now have the ability to pay patients for their data using cryptocurrency. On public blockchains supporting smart contracts, like Ethereum, Ether-based tokens are fueling the health data marketplace. The concept of "tokens" as special purpose cryptocurrencies, with their own rules of minting, mining, rewarding and inflation control, is well established and supported by the Ethereum ecosystem.
OmCoin, a digital token issued by Health Wizz, is the ideal token for incentivizing data exchange contracts between users, data providers and data seekers, including pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies, medical providers and research organizations. OmCoin is custom Ethereum token that will serve as digital access keys, providing users with a secure and efficient way to manage and exchange their healthcare data via blockchain.
How To Participate in The Ecosystem: Digital Token Sale
To support the further development of the platform and the virtual health data marketplace, Health Wizz today announces the pre-sale of its digital token, OmCoin. The pre-sale will run November 30, 2017 until February 2018.
Investors who take advantage of the pre-sale of OmCoin will be issued Simple Agreements for Future Tokens ("SAFTs"), which will convert into OmCoin upon the formal launch of the mobile platform in March 2018. The solicitation, offer, and sale of SAFTs will be conducted in a manner that is compliant with applicable securities laws and regulations, including Rule 506(c) of Regulation D. Only verified accredited investors will be eligible to purchase SAFTs.
Health Wizz plans to use the initial funds raised to further build out the mobile platform and develop an ecosystem around OmCoin. Funds will also be used to establish a virtual marketplace where people can exchange and trade their data securely, if they choose to.
Accredited investors who are interested in joining the Health Wizz OmCoin pre-sale should register at www.healthwizz.io or send an email indicating their interest to presale@healthwizz.io

James Stevenson and The West London All Stars
With opening set by Smiley
Last Show: Sunday 12 th December 2021
Join James and his all star band plus special guest opening act Smiley. James Stevenson has been a member of Chelsea, Generation X, Gene Loves Jezebel, The Cult, and The Alarm plus has done countless sessions over his 44 year career. He has played on hundreds of commercially released recordings. He currently plays with David Bowie band mates, producer/ bass player Tony Visconti and drummer Wood Woodmansey with Glenn Gregory on vocals in Holy Holy. He also plays with punk rock supergroup The International Swingers with Clem Burke, Gary Twinn and Glen Matlock. The West London All Stars comprises of Smiley on drums, Terry Edwards – Sax, trumpet and guitar, Peter 'Bugg' Rizzo on bass, Patrick Ralla on keyboards, Elizabeth Westwood and Jennie 'Belle Star' Matthias on backing vocals and special guest Harriet Stubbs on piano.
VIP Sound check Packages £45 – Witness the last three songs of the sound check followed by meet and greet with James, Smiley and the band (please arrive at 6pm prompt for this).
Opening the evening will be Smiley
Currently balancing touring and recording with UK bands the Alarm and Archive as well as playing with his 'Friends', Smiley has played with some amazing artists including the Mock Turtles ("Can You Dig It?"), Robbie Williams and the legendary Joe Strummer and the Mescalero's.
He then joined the UK rock/electronica band Archive—an incredible collective whose history spans back twenty years and in 2010 joined the Alarm fronted by the enigmatic Mike Peters.
'CLANG Smiley drops a few!' is the book he released in 2020 giving an amusing insight into the music industry
The Other Side Of The World is James Stevenson's second solo album and was released on July 9 2021. His first, the highly critically acclaimed Everything's Getting Closer To Being Over, was released five years ago.
The title track is about James' brother David's fight against the terminal illness Picks Disease.
"Not many people have heard of the disease - it's a really nasty one. The first lockdown was hard for us all but losing my brother in the middle of it truly broke my heart. The other side of the world is a reference to him living in Australia and also, because it's a neurological brain disorder, that he was on the other side of the world mentally." Says James.
James recorded the album remotely - first recording all the guitars and bass and lead vocals in his own studio to a drum machine, then sending them to Alarm drummer Smiley who added drums in his studio and finally to Peter Walsh (Simple Minds, Peter Gabriel, Scott Walker) who added keyboards and mixed the record in his studio.
"It was a long process, it took nearly a year - but it may be the way the world is going to go" says James.
Guest musicians include Henry Badowski (saxophone), Jessica Lee Morgan (backing vocals), Terry Edwards (saxophone), Elizabeth Westwood and Tracie Hunter (backing vocals), Mike Peters (Harmonica), Johnny Pisano and Thomas Trask (male New York voices), Rana Rains (female voice) and Harriet Stubbs (Piano)
All the songs were written by James except Take A Little Love which he co-wrote with Adam Masterson and Point It To Your Head written by his friend and Rich Kids guitarist the late Steve New. "I loved Steve" says James "Point It To your Head was a song he wrote that I always loved but it was never released - so I recorded a version of it as a tribute to Steve".
"The instrumental New York 10023 is about a crazy night I had with model Paula Hamilton in New York in the mid 80's" adds James.
James says: "Journalist Mick Mercer once cited me as having played in 72% of all known bands! and it does feel like that sometimes. It can be a bit of a juggling act" he laughs, "I love playing in bands but creating your own record is the ultimate creative experience. I do have 72% etched on my personal guitar picks though!"


Home Force Series What does it mean to be a Jedi?
What does it mean to be a Jedi?
I've given many responses over the years, but none of those actually answer the question. People don't ask 'What is Jedi Realism?', they want to know what it means to be a Jedi. What does it look and feel like to be a Jedi?
When I began training back in 2005, I was a pretty normal teenager. I was stressed out, plugged-in, and trying to learn who I was, and who I wanted to be. Most of the time I had no idea what I was feeling or why and I had problems I had no idea how to solve. I had a deep-seated feeling that I was missing something obvious, something right in front of my nose that would make everything come in to focus.
But there was no such thing, no easy and obvious solution. Being a Jedi is not a magical fix all for your problems, it is not some spiritual placebo pill. It is a lot of hard work. But as I talked with people, read everything I could get my hands on, and learned to debate calmly and to meditate, I started to change myself. Incrementally I began to understand the tiny actions and emotions that made up who I was, and how they interacted. From there I began to learn control, to act instead of react, to allow for ambiguity and discomfort, and to embrace sadness and hard times as learning experiences, as data that would eventually lead me in the right direction. I learned to see the world more clearly and compassionately, and to keep that vision of the good in the world, of what the world could be tucked inside my mind. I learned to focus on my goals every day, not just dream about them, or make resolutions.
Being a Jedi means being your best self, and then pushing a little further. It means opening your mind to new people and ideas, and fundamentally respecting those around you as living beings. It means never settling for ignorance when there is more to learn. It means letting your worries and fears and the turbulence of emotion fall aside to look at the world with objectivity and hope. Being a Jedi means feeling deeply connected within yourself, and to the world around you.
Being a Jedi is not about reaching some mystical level of nirvana, but being a better version of who you were yesterday, and the day before. If you make that commitment to yourself, if you push forward every day with kindness and self-awareness, and the word Jedi resonates with you, that is what it feels like to be a Jedi.
So, you tell me: what does it mean to be a Jedi?
Nice website and I like what you are practicing, but just a few insights. Being a Jedi is easy, it is living like one that is the hard part. The question, are you a Jedi? is a false question. Everyone is Jedi, just some live more like it is so than others. It is like following the Buddha; you have to be able to see Buddha in everyone you meet before you can be a master.
That's an interesting viewpoint Jim; I think that everyone has the ability to be a Jedi, but being a Jedi is defined by actions, not by some internal trait.

In this section: Sampling to Protect the Food Supply
Sampling to Protect the Food Supply
Compliance & Enforcement (Food)
Microbiological Surveillance Sampling: FY17–19 Processed Avocado and Guacamole
<< Microbiological Surveillance Sampling Main Page
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration collected and tested processed avocado, the main ingredient in guacamole, and finished guacamole as part of the agency's proactive and preventive approach to deploying its sampling resources with the ultimate goal of preventing contaminated food from reaching consumers.
Assignment Overview
The assignment began in November 2017 and ended in September 2019. In total, the FDA collected and tested 887 samples of processed avocado and guacamole (domestic and imported product) for Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes. This total is smaller than the initial number of samples the agency set out to collect and test because the agency encountered factors that twice required a reduction of the collection target, as explained in the Sample Collection section of this report (page 6).
As to the design of the assignment, the FDA directed its field staff not to collect products that had undergone high-pressure processing (HPP) or products intended for HPP. HPP is a "kill step" validated to eliminate pathogenic microorganisms in food, and it is often used in the manufacture of processed avocado and guacamole. In seeking to exclude from the assignment products that had been HPP-treated, the FDA's intent was to focus on products that posed the greatest risk to consumers.
The agency learned during its evaluation of the test results that some of the products collected had received HPP treatment but were not labeled as such. FDA staff worked retrospectively with industry to identify the HPP-treatment status of the samples collected but could not determine the status of a number of samples. Those samples were designated as "could not ascertain" for purposes of the data analysis.
Findings and Follow-up Actions
The FDA detected Salmonella spp.in two samples which were later determined to be distinct samples of the same brand of domestically manufactured guacamole from different lots. Neither sample had received HPP treatment. In addition, the agency detected Listeria monocytogenes in 15 samples from nine different firms. Of those 15 samples, eight had not been HPP treated. The HPP-treatment status of the other seven samples could not be ascertained.
When the FDA detected a pathogen in a domestic sample, agency personnel worked with the company that owned or distributed the affected product to conduct a voluntary recall in all cases in which product was available, or likely to still be available, to consumers. The FDA also conducted one follow-up inspection of a domestic facility, and state officials in Florida likewise conducted one domestic inspection. As to the imported samples, the agency refused to admit lots associated with the positives and placed the responsible companies on import alert. In all, the agency placed two firms on import alert. In addition, the agency conducted whole genome sequencing (WGS) analysis on the positives but was unable to determine whether processed avocado or guacamole were the food vehicle associated with any known human illnesses.
In addition to affirming that Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes may be present in processed avocado and/or guacamole, the assignment data show that the estimated prevalence of these pathogens in the non-HPP-treated samples was higher than in the HPP-treated samples. This finding appears to support other research that shows HPP is effective at neutralizing pathogenic microorganisms,[1] even as this assignment was not designed to compare possible differences based on HPP-treatment status. The findings also underscore the need for processors and others in the processed avocado and guacamole supply chain to comply with the FDA's Preventive Controls for Human Food Rule[2] and for importers of these foods to comply with the FDA's Foreign Supplier Verification Programs Rule.[3]

Sacroiliac-joint steroid injections help to diagnose and relieve lower-back pain caused by problems with one or both of the sacroiliac joints, which connect the spine's base (sacrum) to the pelvis's ilium bones. If one or both of the sacroiliac joints is inflamed (sacroiliac-joint dysfunction), a patient can experience pain in the buttocks and lower back that worsens when running or standing. Sacroiliac-joint dysfunction can be caused by osteoarthritis, traumatic injury, pregnancy, inflammatory joint disease, or underlying structural abnormalities.
A sacroiliac-joint steroid injection is used to confirm a diagnosis of sacroiliac-joint dysfunction. If the injection provides pain relief, it establishes the joint as the pain's source, and, at the same time, acts as a treatment. Corticosteroids, along with a local anesthetic and saline solution, are injected directly into the sacroiliac joint, reducing swelling and pain for, possibly, several months.
As with other spinal blocks, a sacroiliac-joint injection can be repeated up to 3 times a year. Spinal injections only provide temporary relief from pain; they are not a cure. For that, surgery may be necessary.
To make sure the injection is placed in the correct spot, the procedure, which takes less than half an hour, is performed using imaging guidance and a contrast dye. The patient lies facedown on a surgical table, and the skin on the lower back is cleansed with an antiseptic solution. A local anesthetic is given to reduce discomfort from the injection, which contains steroid medication, saline solution and anesthetic. When the procedure is complete, the injection site is covered with a small bandage.
The anesthetic in the injection provides immediate pain relief, and the steroid medication reduces inflammation within 24 to 48 hours.
In some cases, a patient's legs are affected by the anesthetic, causing numbness or weakness that can make walking difficult until the anesthetic wears off. Injection-site tenderness and swelling can occur, but they are usually mild, and can be minimized by applying ice.
Normal activities can be resumed the next day. Only moderate exercise is allowed, but it can be increased in duration and intensity during the following 1 to 2 weeks.
Although sacroiliac-joint steroid injections are considered safe, there are risks; they include infection, excessive bleeding, adverse reaction to medication, and damage to adjacent tissue.
Post-injection, a diabetic patient may have temporary spike in blood sugar levels, and a patient with bipolar disorder may have a manic episode, making careful monitoring essential in these instances.


A 25-year-old father began working out obsessively and then escalated his weight-loss regimen to include DNP diet pills. After taking 8 of the pills in one day, the young father nearly cooked his insides and was expected to die within a few hours but miraculously pulled through.
We've all wanted to drop a few ell-bees at some point in our lives. Some turn to the gym, others yoga, and then some particularly eager individuals invest in controversial diet pills.
Lewis Brown, a lab worker, began working out to lose weight but then became so obsessive about the idea of having the perfect body that he began to use steroids and diet pills. He invested in DNP diet pills, and on one particularly emblazoned day he took 8 pills and increased his body temperature to a whopping 107 degrees, quite literally cooking his insides.
Medics had to induce a coma in order to save Brown's' life, but then his loved ones received the call to say farewell to Lewis when his muscles began to die. Medical professionals had no choice but to cut out a muscle that had died in Brown's leg.
Brown, who now feels lucky to be alive said, "I was a different person then – everyone has said. All I was interested in was getting bigger and I just didn't know what I was doing."
Brown was spending a whopping £100 a month on the controversial medicines and was both injecting himself and orally consuming the meds two to three times a week. On top of the steroids Brown was taking DNP pills, which are designed to drain the body of energy, accelerate the metabolism and increase a person's body temperature.
Why are people with beautiful bodies literally killing themselves to have the perfect one?
Months prior to Brown's overdose, a 21 year old died from taking the exact same amount of diet pills.


Book in One Word: Deceiving!
The thing about Stalking Jack the Ripper is that the title (and the synopsis, really) is an implication: I expect the novel to be about stalking Jack the Ripper, for the most part. And while that definitely happened, it didn't happen enough. In short: I expected more. I'm not saying this as a complaint, per se, but it's something I wanted more of but that was lacking--it was an expectation. If I had to say what this book was about, I don't know that the central focus would be Jack the Ripper and solving murders--there was more than that. Now, that's not a bad thing, but...I wanted more murder. I just wanted...more. I'm not really sure how to explain it? Because I liked Stalking Jack the Ripper, I did. But there was some sort of disconnect, something that prevented me from really, really liking the novel. Yet I don't mean this in a negative way? I enjoyed reading this book, but there's something about it that just missed the mark.
Like I just said a million times: I did like this book. It just wasn't what I had expected and was looking forward to. That said, Stalking Jack the Ripper had a lot of good things going for it. One thing I appreciated was the writing, which really fit the era but didn't feel so overbearingly historical as to take away from the story that was being told. As a whole, the writing was good, too. And despite the fact that this book featured gruesome murders and detailed descriptions of cadavers and butchered bodies (which was a plus), the tone was relatively light, which helped make the whole thing more readable, in my opinion.
Stalking Jack the Ripper features a number of characters, a mysterious, gory killer who goes by Jack the Ripper included. But the real main character is Audrey Rose Wadsworth, a seventeen-year-old of a fine upbringing who sneaks off to dissect human bodies with her father's estranged brother. That's because Audrey Rose has a liking for studying anatomy, seeing inside bodies, and discovering what caused their demise. But in her time and age, it is extremely frowned upon for women to do such a thing--to see such a thing--so she sneaks around with the help of her brother Nathaniel (who I liked right off the bat) and her uncle's assistant and student Thomas Cresswell. Nathaniel, unfortunately, didn't get much page time, but Thomas--well, he needed more page time. I liked him and I'm all for romance, but I needed him and Audrey to spend way more time together and for there to be more sexual tension and build up. It was just there and lacked the build up to create a romance that could've been strong. Buuut the two do work together to solve a few conundrums--including who Jack is--which is oh so romantic--and create a sort of mutual understanding and friendship filled with snark and quips, which I love.
Would I reread it? Maybe?
Would I purchase it? Eh, I don't really need it.
Who would I recommend it to? People who like historical fiction that's light on history and isn't heavy on era-fitting prose, a compelling cast of characters, and bits and pieces of murder.
After all I'll be subscribing to your Jack the Ripper feed and I hope you write again soon! BTW this is great post.
