After days of teasing fans about the duet with her best friend and songwriter Victoria Monét, the singer premiered their song "Monopoly" on Monday afternoon along with its accompanying music video. The self-love anthem caught the attention of many fans since Ariana sings that she likes both "women and men".
"I like women and men (Yeah) / Work so f**kin" much, need a twinny, twin, twin (Yeah),' Ari sings. Since Ariana has now said she doesn't feel the need to label her sexuality, that label (or lack thereof) shouldn't matter to anyone else. But the singer is responding that she eschews labels.
In fact, even before it dropped, people were able to check out the lyrics that were leaked on the site Genius and started suspecting Ariana was talking about her sexuality in the song.
Though fans absolutely love the new song, they couldn't help but do a double take after listening to one lyric in particular.
"Ariana will never publicly come out and say she's bisexual because that would require her actually being attracted to women (not just kissing for fun like every straight girl)", one Twitter user wrote. Monet helped write several of Grande's biggest hits, including Thank U, Next and 7 Rings.
Ariana, who is now on her much-anticipated Sweetener Tour, wrote: "it ain't ova! i don't really like 'era's". i jus wanna make music and drop it whenever and perform it.
The pop star was recently criticised for her music video for 'Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored'. I love the people I make it with.
Her latest album has also broken the record for the most album streams ever by a female artist in one week in the United Kingdom, surpassing the one she set in August 2018 with her release Sweetener.
Fans have a lot of questions about Ariana Grande and Victoria Monet's "Monopoly" track.

Your business is only as good as the people behind it. When building a strong workforce, the first challenge is finding and hiring good team members. The second, and perhaps more vital challenge, is keeping the good ones. As the saying goes, "hire slow, fire fast".
Years ago, seniority and a paycheque was the glue that kept a team together. However, that did not always equate to being a "happy" or "content" and ultimately, productive work place. You stuck it out because that was the thing to do; and you had bills to pay.
In recent years, companies have discovered that rather than simply relying on money as a motivator for their workforce, truly engaging them results in better pay offs, not just for the company but for everyone involved. Employees that are engaged are more energized, inspired, invested, and productive.
Employee Engagement has become a trend that more and more companies have realized they can no longer ignore. What is Employee Engagement? It is the creation of a workplace where employees feel their active participation and personal investments are recognized, welcomed and valued. A workplace that makes the success of the business personally significant. It instills a commitment to an organization's mission, vision and core values.
Here at BNG, we have recognized the need to continuously invest in building a more engaged team. One of the tools we use, the Engagement Multiplier™, allows us to regularly gather anonymous feedback from our team members in 6 key areas: Engaged Purpose, Engaged Owners, Engaged Leaders, Engaged Employees, Engaged Customers and Engaged Individuals. It provides our team members a "voice"; an opportunity to contribute ideas to how we do business.
Through Engagement Multiplier™, we are then able to respond to individual comments and, more importantly, share an action plan for change, demonstrating a commitment to our team's well-being.
Be ready to change. If you want your employees to get engaged, you have to be realize they are going to have new ideas and suggestions for how things could be done differently.
Listen and respond. Just asking for feedback and ideas is not enough. Follow up on suggestions; either by implementing suggested changes or at least explaining to employees why you cannot make changes at that time.
Communicate. Let your team know what is going on. Where you want the organization to go. What your plans are, and what progress you have made on those plans.
Make it personal. Keep in touch with your team beyond just workplace tasks. Say hello. Ask them how they are doing. Find out about their interests and goals. If you want them to care about you and your business, they need to feel as if you care about them.
Have some fun. Host some fun events that allows an opportunity for team members to get to know each other on a more personal level. It doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. Bring in lunch, or have a potluck, head out as a group to volunteer in the community, or check out a local tourist attraction.
A little time spent actively engaging your employees can result in increased loyalty and productivity. Invest in your team and they will invest in you.

Searching for some memorable holiday gifts for your friends, roommates or that special someone? Eager to ship a beautiful bundle home to Mom and Dad but not sure what to pack as a present? More importantly, is it possible to shop for everyone without blowing your meager student budget on one run to the mall?
If spending is the meaning of your holiday season, it's time for some tips to help you get your friends some festive gifts without taking out that loan you've been eyeing. Check out this list of sentimental gift ideas and be meaningful, not expensive, this holiday!
Do you love working from scratch? If so, consider cooking delicious treats for your friends and family! Just grab a cookbook or click on your favorite search engine and look up easy and fun recipes for homemade cookies, truffles, fudge, and many other yummy creations. Food, after all, is always appreciated, and you can save even more by making large batches. For a special touch, wrap the treats in colorful tissue paper and pack them in a box with a personalized note for each recipient.
It may be simple to pick up a gift card at a chain store, but nothing shows you love and care for someone more than the time and effort you put into creating a homemade craft. For the music lovers in your inner circle, consider combining their favorite songs in a mix CD. You can also create personalized photo albums for your friends. Collect pictures and sort them into scrapbooks to share. And, if you're especially clever with stamps, beads and construction paper, decorate the pages. For added sentimental value, be sure to leave special notes in each album or create homemade holiday cards with personal messages.
Many of us remember giving our parents "coupons" for babysitting our siblings, walking the family pet, or cleaning the dishes after dinner. Giving the gift of your time is a way to both manage your budget and create lasting memories. Cook a special meal for your roommate or wash your friend's car. If you have a special talent like playing the violin or sewing, offer some free lessons. After all, they may misplace a gift card or quickly chow through some festive cookies, but a scarf you've knitted together is a timeless treasure your friends or family members will always cherish.

Q: Virtuoso SPARQL execution time I am running a Virtuoso Open Source Server version 07.20.3217.
I am storing triples in there. However, when doing certain SPARQL queries, I get the following error message:
Virtuoso 42000 Error The estimated execution time 0 (sec) exceeds the limit of 3000 (sec).

It is not the first time it happens to me. Normally I try to re-write the query and the problem is solved. However, this time the estimated time is 0. Besides, I am not able to re-write the query to avoid this error.
The server is only accessed locally by me, so I would not have any problem enabling queries that take a lot of time.
What I am asking is: Is it any configuration file or similar in Virtuoso, where I can set a higher limit than 3000 sec per query?
Thanks in advance,

A: There is a server-side timeout, MaxQueryExecutionTime, set in the [SPARQL] section of the Virtuoso INI file, as discussed in the product documentation.
ObDisclaimer: OpenLink Software produces Virtuoso, and employs me.

Editorial: No intelligence involved
You may have heard about the controversial movie "Expelled: No intelligence Allowed" by Ben Stein in which people behind the intelligent design movement whine about being suppressed the scientific community. The truth is obviously that intelligent design is not a falsifiable theory and hence simply does not qualify as science.
However, the movie is also controversial in other respects. To start with the producers conned both Richard Dawkins and fellow blogger PZ Myers into participating in the movie by interviewing them under false pretense.
Richard Dawkins and PZ Myers thus both registered for participating in a public screening of the movie. But while queuing up for the movie, PZ Myers was identified by security officers and told to leave the premises – immediately! Oh the irony, oh the double standard. They make a movie about suppression of views, they call it "Expelled", and then they expel a person whom you conned into participating in the movie because you disagree with his views.
But it gets even better. The very same security officers were apparently oblivious to the fact that Richard Dawkins was standing right next to PZ Myers and thus let him enter to watch the movie. PZ Myers immediately wrote a blog post about it, while the movie was still being shown to the audience – including Richard Dawkins.
After the movie, Richard Dawkins (of course) stood up and asked why PZ Myers was not allowed to see the movie. The answer? Because he did not have a ticket and was thus a gate crasher! Very interesting explanation since it was not a ticket event – you simply had to register a seat, which PZ Myers had done.
The two gentlemen have now posted an interesting little discussion on YouTube in which they humorously describe the incident as well as just how bad the movie really is:
Richard Dawkins also reveals that Expelled includes one of the beautiful movies produced by the multimedia team at Harvard. You really have to wonder if they actually got permission for that, if they conned the people at Harvard as well, or if they just resorted to plain old plagiarism. In any case, this has to be one of the biggest PR disasters ever made by the intelligent design movement.

Update: Warda and Han, one month after the storm
As most readers of this blog are probably aware, Mohammad Warda and Jin Han published a paper in Proteomics that contained several pages of text copied from unreferenced sources. Exactly one month ago it was thus retracted "due to a substantial overlap of the content of this article with previously published articles in other journals".
Plagiarism is, however, not the main issue. The paper by Warda and Han also claimed to disprove the endosymbiotic origin of mitochondria, mentioned fingerprints of a mighty creator, and proposed mitochondria to be the missing link between the body and the preserved wisdom of the soul!
It remains a mystery how a manuscript with such unsubstantiated claims was accepted for publication in a respectable, peer-reviewed journal. The retraction notice by Proteomics made no attempt to explain this, and their approved draft press release merely states that it was due to "human error". I would have been really worried if it could happen without human error being involved. Although this draft was approved a month ago, the final version is nowhere to be found on the internet, also not on the Proteomics website. I thus wonder if an official press release was ever published.
Attila Csordas, PZ Myers, Steven Salzberg, and I have decided to mark the one month anniversary of the retraction by pointing out the important questions that still remain to be answered by the Editor in Chief of Proteomics, Prof. Michael J. Dunn.
The manuscript contains four parts with unsupported claims that should have been caught by any peer reviewer or editor:
Title – "Mitochondria, the missing link between body and soul".
Abstract – "These data are presented with novel proteomics evidence to disprove the endosymbiotic hypothesis of mitochondrial evolution that is replaced in this work by a more realistic alternative".
Section 3.4 – "More logically, the points that show proteomics overlapping between different forms of life are more likely to be interpreted as a reflection of a single common fingerprint initiated by a mighty creator than relying on a single cell that is, in a doubtful way, surprisingly originating all other kinds of life".
Conclusions – "We realize so far that the mitochondria could be the link between the body and this preserved wisdom of the soul devoted to guaranteeing life".
My questions to Michael J. Dunn are when in the publication process these parts first appeared:
Were they already in the initial version that was submitted to Proteomics and sent out for peer review?
Did they appear in a revised version that was sent to the peer reviewers?
Were they introduced in a revised version that was accepted without sending it to the reviewers?
Or were they added at the copy editing stage, that is after the manuscript had formally been accepted?
I want to make explicit that the aim with these questions is not to place the blame but to elucidate what went wrong in the publication process. To prevent similar incidents inthe future, it is important to know whether the editor and the peer reviewers overlooked glaring flaws of the manuscript or if the flawed parts were introduced after peer review. It is not important who the editor and the peer reviewers are. I sincerely hope that Prof. Dunn will help improve the procedures for peer reviewed publication by answering the questions in this post and in the related posts on PIMM, Pharyngula, and Genomics, Evolution, and Pseudoscience.

Commentary: We apologize
Attila Chordash over at "PIMM – Partial immortalization" discovered that Proteomics have now changed the abstract of the infamous paper by Warda and Han to be an apology to their readership:
While I am pleased to see this public apology from the publisher, the retraction is still only based on "a substantial overlap of the content of this article with previously published articles in other journals". That is a euphemism for "the authors copied four entire pages of text from sources that were not cited". However, I am concerned that this apology – like the press release from Proteomics – ignores the central question: how did the manuscript make it through peer review?
I was a bit surprised to see an apology being published via PubMed, but a quick search revealed that Proteomics is far from the only journal to apologize to their readers in this way. In fact, a systematic count of the abstracts mentioning the words "apologise(s)" or "apologize(s)" has increased exponentially over the past decade (note the logarithmic scale):
The number shown for 2008 is an extrapolation based on the first six weeks; if the apologies keep coming at the current rate, there will be 32 by the end of the year. The line shows an exponential fit of the data points from 1999 to 2007. The doubling time for the number of apologies is just 3 years whereas the number of papers doubles only every 22 years. If these trends continue, there will be more apologies than papers published from the year 2067 and onwards. I apologize for the extrapolation.

Update: Not treasure but buried
There is good news regarding the Warda and Han scandal. After numerous researchers including myself emailed the Editor in Chief of Proteomics, Michael J. Dunn, the paper is now listed as retracted. I am pleased to see that the editorial team of Proteomics has acted swiftly against plagiarism.
Edit: The last author of the paper, Jin Han, has written a reply to PZ Myers. According to the email, he has himself contacted the editorial office and requested that the paper be retracted. I am still looking forward to hearing an official explanation from Proteomics of how this paper got accepted in the first place.
Edit: Michael J. Dunn has emailed me a copy of the approved press release from Proteomics that announces the retraction of the paper by Warda and Han. The only explanation offered is that the paper made it through peer review due to "human error" – or in other words "someone did something wrong". I would have been truly worried if a paper like this had been accepted without human error being involved. I hope that Proteomics will provide the scientific community with more details when they have completed the internal investigation of the incident.

Commentary: Neither buried nor treasure
This post might be considered off topic since it is about a paper that is unfortunately neither buried nor treasure. I would rather describe it as "organic fertilizer that has come into contact with a rotary air-circulation device".
The paper that I will dissect is "Mitochondria, the missing link between body and soul: Proteomic prospective evidence" by Mohamad Warda and Jin Han. This review is at the time of writing published in electronic form by the journal Proteomics (ISI impact factor 5.735). It was aptly described as "A baffling failure of peer review" by PZ Myers on his blog Pharyngula, which led to a flash mob of researchers (including me) quickly identifying several flaws, any one of which should in my view be sufficient to cause the journal to retract the paper:
Warda and Han twice suggest that mitochondria provide a link between body and soul, but they never provide any argument for this.
They claim to present data that disproves the accepted endosymbiotic theory for the origin of mitochondria. But in reality they present no such evidence.
They promise to replace this theory by "a more realistic alternative". The alternative turns out to be "a mighty creator", or in other words Intelligent Design.
To support these truly remarkable claims, the authors misrepresent the results of cited references. Some of these references are even completely unrelated to the topic at hand.
Entire sections or paragraphs of the paper are plagiarism of other researcher's papers and from the website of another group. Not only is this material not presented as quotations, the sources are not even cited.
Finally, numerous sentences have been copied verbatim from the cited sources. This may be partly excused by the authors borrowing better English, but I nonetheless consider it an unacceptable practice especially in reviews.
Note how I use block quotations below to show which parts are not my own words. That is what Warda and Han should have done to avoid their biggest problem: being accused of plagiarism. Let us start by looking at the first sentence of the abstract:
Mitochondria are the gatekeepers of the life and death of most cells that regulate signaling, metabolism, and energy production needed for cellular function.
This sentence is identical to the first sentence on the webpage of a competing group, namely the Mitochondrial Research & Innovation Group at University of Rochester Medical Center. The rest of the paragraph from the webpage can be found later in the paper by Warda and Han:
Recent scientific studies show that mitochondrial dysfunction is more commonplace than previously thought and that substantial mitochondrial involvement is present in many acute and chronic diseases. Mitochondrial dysfunction is now implicated in a range of human diseases, including aging, diabetes, atherosclerosis, heart failure, myocardial infarction, stroke and other ischemic-reperfusion injuries, neurodegenerative diseases including Alzhiemer's and Parkinson's diseases; cancer, HIV; sepsis and trauma with multiorgan dysfunction or failure. Some rare mitochondria diseases (e.g., MELAS, Kearns-Sayre) are associated with large deletions in the mitochondrial genome. More recently, the so-called OXPHOS diseases that reflect a limited capacity to produce the energy needed to respond to normal stress conditions.
However, most of the plagiarized material is not from webpages; it is from peer-reviewed papers of other researchers. For example, the two paragraph below appear to originate from the paper "Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor gamma Coactivator-1 (PGC-1) Regulatory Cascade in Cardiac Physiology and Disease" published by Brian N. Finck and Daniel P. Kelly in the journal Circulation:
Emerging evidence supports the notion that derangements in mitochondrial energy metabolism contribute to cardiac dysfunction [186]. For example, human mitochondrial DNA mutations resulting in global impairment in mitochondrial respiratory function cause hypertrophic or dilated cardiomyopathy and cardiac conduction defects [187, 188]. Mutations in nuclear genes encoding mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation enzymes may also manifest as cardiomyopathy [189, 190]. Interestingly, cardiomyopathies resulting from inborn errors in mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation enzymes are often provoked by physiological or pathophysiological conditions that increase dependence on fat oxidation for myocardial ATP production such as prolonged exercise or fasting associated with infectious illness [190,191].
A causal relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and cardiomyopathy is also evidenced by several genetically engineered mouse models. Targeted deletion of the adenine nucleotide translocator 1, which transports mitochondrially generated ATP to the cytosol, leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and cardiomyopathy [192]. Mice with cardiac-specific deletion of the transcription factor of activated mitochondria, which controls transcription and replication of the mitochondrial genome, also exhibit marked impairments in mitochondrial metabolism, severe cardiomyopathy, and premature mortality [193]. Cardiomyopathy and/or conduction defects are also observed in several mouse models with targeted deletion of specific fatty acid oxidation enzymes [194, 195].
I discovered these plagiarized sections myself, but they only scratch the surface and pale in comparison to the amount of copied material identified by others. I should make clear that I do not blame the reviewers for not discovering this; their job is to check the scientific quality of the material presented, not to detect fraudulent or plagiarized material.
The editor and the reviewers are not off the hook, though. Interspersed between the sensible review material, much of which has been copied from elsewhere, there are a few sections that are "a mélange of truths, half-truths, quarter-truths, falsehoods, non sequiturs, and syntactically correct sentences that have no meaning whatsoever" (to use the words of Alan Sokal).
The first of these is the following sentence from the abstract:
These data are presented with other novel proteomics evidence to disprove the endosymbiotic hypothesis of mitochondrial evolution that is replaced in this work by a more realistic alternative.
Clearly the editors and the reviewers should have examined the evidence for such an exceptional claim. The "evidence" that supposedly disproves the serial endosymbiotic theory (SET) of mitochondrial evolution is presented in section 3.4, which after explaining the theory makes the following baffling statement:
The proof of SET was based on the parallel connection between plant mitochondrial and phage T4 genome replication [107, 108] …
This is simply not true. First, the scientific method can never prove a theory. Second, the similarity between the replication of mitochondrial and phage T4 genomes is completely irrelevant with respect to the endosymbiotic origin of mitochondria. Third, reference 108 is about chloroplasts and not mitochondria.
Next, the authors try to convince the reader that people are still debating the validity of the endosymbiotic theory:
Therefore, the debates concerning the mitochondrial endosymbiotic hypothesis recently terminated with many questions still left unanswered [111].
Reference 111 is a paper in Cellular Immunology by Gray and coworkers with the title "Modulation of CD8+ T cell avidity by increasing the turnover of viral antigen during infection". It has nothing to do with the evolution of mitochondria.
The authors go on to recite the well known facts that the vast majority of mitochondrial proteins are encoded by nuclear genes and that most bacterial genes do not match within the mitochondrial DNA. They then give a long description of how tightly integrated mitochondria are with the rest of the cell and use the tired old argument of irreducible complexity to dismiss the endosymbiotic theory. Needless to say, the authors have what they consider to be a more realistic explanation:
Alternatively, instead of sinking in a swamp of endless debates about the evolution of mitochondria, it is better to come up with a unified assumption that all living cells undergo a certain degree of convergence or divergence to or from each other to meet their survival in specific habitats. Proteomics data greatly assist this realistic assumption that connects all kinds of life. More logically, the points that show proteomics overlapping between different forms of life are more likely to be interpreted as a reflection of a single common fingerprint initiated by a mighty creator than relying on a single cell that is, in a doubtful way, surprisingly originating all other kinds of life.
In other words: "God did it". If I can read correctly, the authors here reject not only the endosymbiotic origin of mitochondria but also the common ancestry of eukaryotes. And as if this was not enough, the authors end the paper with the following bold conclusion that also explains the mysterious title of the paper:
We realize so far that mitochondria could be the link between the body and this preserved wisdom of the soul devoted to guaranteeing life.
I am speechless. As anyone who knows me can attest, that very rarely happens.
Edit: The paper has now been retracted, but there are still many open questions as to how it got accepted in the first place.

Indiana Dental College
E-Travel
Indiana University School of Dentistry Special Collections contains a history and images of the school. Ralph D. Gray's IUPUI: the Making of an Urban University has a sketch of the school, as does Indiana, Past and Present, Vol. I. Internet Archive has a digital copy of the 1915-16 yearbook, the I-Dent; Ancestry.com has a digital copy of the 1904 Prognosis yearbook.
The seventh dental school in the United States to open, Indiana Dental College was founded as a private venture by dentists under the aegis of the Indiana Dental Association. The purpose of the school was to upgrade dental standards in the state. The first year saw only six students and three graduates. In the fall of 1880, 20 new students enrolled.
From 1880 I.D.C. advertised its infirmary. There persons of limited means could receive dental care from students and professors, being charged only for the cost of materials.
By 1904 the program had expanded to three years. Prognosis shows 165 students with 82 Seniors (including two women). The 1916 I-Dent shows 216 students with 74 graduates. That yearbook announced that starting in fall of 1917, the program would be increased to four years.
Students had chapters of three professional fraternities—Xi Psi Phi, Psi Omega and Delta Sigma Delta. Each had a house. There was also a Sojourners Club organized by the masons. Most I.D.C. students were members of the P.G.C. & G.E. Hunt Society, named for the first president of the school and his son.
Beginning in 1904 IDC became a member of a four-school consortium of Indianapolis colleges. In addition to I.D.C., this "University of Indianapolis" consisted of Butler, Indiana law School and Indiana Medical College.
Because of the costs involved. I.D.C. found it increasingly difficult to meet the standards set by the American Dental Association. So in 1925 the school passed into the control of the state, becoming the Indiana University School of Dentistry. As such it remains today.
Gray notes that IDC "did not have a permanent home. Instead it operated from a number of buildings in downtown Indianapolis." Prognosis says that IDC initially occupied eight rooms in the Thorpe Building on East Market Street, with students sharing both lectures and lab space with those from Indiana Medical College.
In 1881 the school began to occupy the third and fourth floors of the Aetna Block on North Pennsylvania Street. Then in 1894 the school moved into a new building on the southwest corner of Ohio and Delaware streets. This three-story brick structure provided more space for labs, lecture rooms and the infirmary. That building still stands today, housing a Crown Liquor Store. It was placed on the National Register in 1983.
Then in 1914 the college began to occupy the upper floors of "a former automobile supply store" on the southwest corner of North and Meridian Streets. Indiana, Past and Present calls it a fireproof steel and concrete building with a capacity for 260 students.
The last home was a former girls' classical school residence at 635 North Pennsylvania. That building later became the home of the Lincoln Chiropractic College.
The last home of the I.D.C. Historicindianapolis.com says that this building was razed between 1972 and 1978. Image from Handbook of Indianapolis edited by Marc Hyman (<babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=hvd.32044086423282;view=1up;seq=223>) Accessed 1-27-2018

Prognosis shows no sports activity in the 1903-04 school year. However, by 1915, IDC had an athletic association with a successful basketball program. The Dentals compiled a 12-6 record that year against strong in-state competition. Their opponents included three schools that are in Division I today-- Indiana, Indiana State, and Butler. Other well-known opponents included Wabash, Earlham, St. Joseph's, Indiana Central, and Culver Military Academy.
College Football Data Warehouse gives the Dentals a 0-1-0 football record, with an 8-6 loss to Hanover College in 1911. The Indiana University School of Dentistry timeline says the program had "short-lived interest."

Cellaring Beer: To Age or Not to Age?
Beer is often referred to as liquid bread—an apt description for our favorite beverage. Craft beer has similar ingredients, flavors and aromas to bread, and like bread, is generally best to enjoy fresh. Yes, some beers can improve with age, but cellaring beer provides no guarantee that the beer will be any better than when it was fresh.
True, the volatile compounds, like hop aroma, that make up flavors and aromas change when beer is aged. The same way an aged bottle of wine will exhibit different flavors after cellaring. This is all perfectly fine if you like the character of aged wine, but if you don't, why the heck did you save it? The same idea is correct with beer.
The vast majority of beer styles are meant to be enjoyed fresh. Certain beers can develop positively over time—check out the list of common cellaring developments down below.
It wasn't long ago that many so-called beer authorities touted highly hopped beers, like Imperial IPAs, as beers suitable for aging. Luckily for us, breweries like Russian River Brewing Co. have taught us that age is the last thing they want for beers like Pliny the Elder and Blind Pig.
Russian River even educates beer retailers to not wait to tap the uber-limited Pliny the Younger, as it is meant to be experienced as fresh as possible. "We want you to enjoy Younger from the source at its absolute best! Like all fresh food products, this beer has a very short 'shelf' life and is meant to be consumed only when in season…" RRBC explains.
Stone Brewing Co. also reminds us that hoppy beers are best fresh. The San Diego craft brewery's Stone Enjoy by IPA gets craft beer geeks clamoring when it is released, not just because of its limited distribution, but also because the beer's time sensitive nature.
It's obvious that Stone takes its out of date beer seriously, as they've set up an online form for beer fans to report any out of date Stone beer they come across in the marketplace so they can replace it as quickly as possible.
That is the question! Like many beery things, cellaring is largely a personal journey, and a perfectly acceptable craft beer experience. Some breweries even aid prospective "cellar rats" (as they're often lovingly referred to) by providing a "cellar up to" date, like Left Hand Brewing Company's Widdershin Barleywine. In this case, the brewery recommends cellaring this oak-aged, peated-malt barley wine for up to five years. However, the label does not say you can't or shouldn't enjoy this beer fresh.
For those who enjoy cellaring, the gamble can pay off. Many cellared beer fans enjoy the complexity that proper aging can add to craft beers. Additionally, vintage bottles offer an opportunity to create new educational experiences with beers that are uniquely in the individual's control. The key to cellaring is to control as many environmental factors as possible to ensure the beer is aging properly and not just getting old.
Beer style: Craft beers over 7 percent ABV with strong flavors (eg: smoked malt) tend to handle age better than others.
Light: Ultraviolet light reacts with compounds in beer to develop the dreaded skunky character. Keep all beer in the dark.
Temperature: Warmer temperatures speed up the effects of aging. Keep beers cool to cold, but don't let them freeze.
Movement: Agitation aides in the effects of oxidation and age. Set'em and forget'em.
Think of craft beer as one of those Choose Your Own Adventure books you read as a kid. While aging beer is a fine adventure, you need to evaluate all of the potential outcomes. Will the beer improve with age? Maybe. Or you may end up with unfavorable results–like being eaten by sharks, which is probably why I never got into those books.
Bottom line: control the cellaring environment as much as possible and use discretion when choosing which craft beers to age.


can't wait for swatches of these! i wanna see Single Ladies & Stormy Weather the most.
Candy Shop looks really fun. I'm surprised that I'm drawn to that one the most, considering that I don't usually wear pink polish.
Brick House and Candy Shop look like must haves! I can't wait to see swatches of these!
Candy Shop looks like a lot of fun but I am definitely going to wait for swatches since if the pink is too sheer I don't want to drop $16 on it.
I love Stormy Weather and the glitters.
elvislover01, ooooh thanks for the tip! I need to try that!
This is going to be a hard collection to ignore.

Private Tales The Market of Wonders
Thread starter Trevan Soithiel
alliria
A private roleplay only for those invited by the first writer
Trevan Soithiel
"It was a jest, and I see now that it was a terrible one to make." Trevan says, an attempt at a scolding yet a small smile lingers at the edges of his lips. He began to understand something about this woman, and perhaps all women of the surface. Where a drow priestess can simply demand attention and receive it, up here it had to be asked for. Or more to the point, teased about. This was going to be an interesting transition, but Trevan has played the game of houses, and he knows a thing or two about manipulation.
"I do not recall our agreement mentioning clothing, only that no harm would come to you. I could march you naked through these woods." He uses a rather convincing authoritative tone, yet the smile lingers.
Reactions: Ashryn
Ashryn
Her eyes grew wide as she realized she hadn't even thought to mention something of the sorts. Surely he was teasing? She gave a sharp tug of his cloak, she gazed up at him as rose-colored lips were shaped in a soft 'o' of shock as mischief glittered in her eyes. Part of her wanted to tear off running through the woods, giggling and allowing the feel of earth and rocks to guide her through the night. With a smattering of stars beginning to fill the sky and the moon peeking from behind the cover of clouds, she had something resembling light. She had wandered through the woods enough times at night to be comfortable tearing off.
What stopped her was the unknown and this other. She had no idea of what she would walk into, let alone what he could be taking them both into. Biting gently on her lower lip she fought against the urge to play a little game of cat and mouse. "You could but where would the fun in that be? That would be purely for your pleasure and you don't strike me as selfish. Besides, we still have this other. " Her eyes darkened momentarily for she knew this playful banter would soon be coming to an end and the potential for deadly consequences could rise sharply.
Reactions: Trevan Soithiel
This elf woman insisted on playing a game of words and wit, it seemed. Trevan obliged her further.
"I have rarely tasted the pleasures of being selfish, perhaps I should indulge? Though it is interesting that you assume I would derive pleasure from your nakedness." His eyes gaze at her, and it would be quite clear that he is fully in his element with the darkness settling over them. His stride is sure and true, his confidence strong and he does not seem concerned with her attempting to flee.
"Perhaps it wouldn't be for my pleasure, but for the pleasure of the other, yes?" And now the smile returns, a half smile that teases against the edge of his lips.
"I will not do this thing, unless you give me cause to. Mind this warning, Ashryn."
Both brows shot up at his words and she was instantly silenced. Stuck somewhere between amused, curios, and out right shocked her mouth moved up and down, nothing but air coming out. It was extremely rare that someone manage to silence her with words and this damn drow had managed to do it. It was only but a heartbeat or two before she recovered and she managed to speak.
"My sincerest apologies Sir Treven. Shame on me for presuming such a thing." There was slight hint of sarcasm though her words were light and teasing. She peered up at him, frowning as she still tried to puzzle out if he would make good on that threat.
In the moment of shocked silence Trevan barked a quick laugh, pleased and grinning now. With her snide comeback he turned his gaze on her and remained grinning.
"Everyone is guilty of presuming, even myself." He says, with a small admission. They approached a cliff face with a difficult flat surface that they needed to scale. Trevan stopped at the base of it and eyed her. "One of the reasons I did not yet bind you." He then up nods toward the top of the cliff face. It was perhaps fifteen feet up.
She stood there, with hands resting on the delicate curve of her hips as she started at the cliff face.. With a huff that sent white strands of hair flying around her face she turned to him and laughed softly.
"So this is the real reason you didn't strip me down and march me through the woods naked. Why go through all that effort when you can just climb up behind me and look up my skirt." She was only partially teasing him, and the soft laughter that laced her words portrayed her teasing though she did wonder if there wasn't some truth to the words. Drow or not he was still a man.
"You can go first and then I'll follow up behind you? As long as there are enough foot holds I should be able to climb that even in the dark. It's far less about seeing what you're doing and more about feeling the path you take. "
Trevan gave little in reaction to her words, not confirming nor denying her accusation. Instead he simply turned and began climbing the cliff face.
She had come this far unbound, should she flee now he would likely catch her, though nothing was certain. Except he certainly didn't want to have to chase this woman through the woods. They had quite a ways to go, yet.
"Mind the loose rocks. Test each hand and foot hold before you commit your weight."
As he got near the top he also says "I wear cloaks to conceal my butt from prying eyes. These pants are quite form fitting."
Two can play her little game.
She started up after him almost as soon as he began his ascent, testing the placement of her hands and feet as made her way slowly upwards. The moon had begun to creep across the sky and clouds scattered and the night sky became clear. His words pulled a grin to her lips and she rushed the last few feet, popping over the edge and standing rather abruptly.
Struggling to hold back a grin, she feigned a shiver as she wrapped her arms around her chest, hands sliding up and down her upper arms in a mock attempt at getting warm. "Why... I feel it's suddenly getting cold out. It's such a shame I don't have a cloak to keep me warm." Her words were dripping with a light, teasing tone as she snaked a handout, fingers wrapping gently, loosely even, into the fabric of his cloak as she gave a playful tug of it, the fullness of her grin spreading along rose painted lips.
Trevan was beginning to see the value in binding and gagging a captive, but he did not express those thoughts out loud. Stepping back and pulling his cloak with him, he would extricate the fine cloth from her grasp.
"I find it difficult to understand just why you traveled alone to Alliria." Ohhh there was a lot of sarcasm laced in that sentence. His eyes shone with mirth, his smile broad, reaching nearly ear to ear. He turns and starts to walk once more, the moonlight a welcomed one. It's reflection of the sun a much cooler and more acceptable source of light.
"Do you torment all men, or am I just lucky?"
She blinked at the sarcasm laced words and frowned for a brief moment before falling into step once more beside him. She wasn't sure how to take him at the moment. Was he joking with her or had she possibly pushed things a little far? She frowned deeper at the thought and kept her eyes forward.
"I... you.... but..." She stammered for a few moments, huffing as he'd one more thrown her off balance. Usually she was full of quick wit, snark, and a good dose of sweetness but it would seem tonight just wasn't her night. She wasn't sure how to answer his question. It's true that she wasn't usually this playful with men, or women, but she was also rather.... quirky. "You make me curious." It was the absolute truth and the only answer she was willing to give him.
A decisive victory, to be sure, but Trevan did not think the war was won. He mentally checked off a tally in his mind and then turned to regard her.
"As I have already said, you are an enigma to me, so I am equally curious. Shall we amend the agreement that your clothing will remain on? That might be the best course of action." The way he says his words would feel like he finds the whole thing rather amusing.
Trevan led them along the path that skirted the top of the rocky cliff side. Down to their left was the coast, it's dark waves crashing against the rocks below. To their right, a dark tree-line of an encroaching forest.
She gave a soft laugh as she rolled her eyes ever so slightly. "I had no intentions of offering you my clothes but I'm not going to turn down such agreement especially when they seems to be benefitting me so nicely." She smirked up at him, remembering his agreement to allow her to play with his hair. She hadn't intended to give the impression that she was willing to offer him her clothes or anything else for that matter.
She paused at the crossroads before them and took a moment to simply admire the night, the sky, and all the was nature. The sound of the crashing waves acting as a beat to the melody of crickets and insects that sung through the night. She turned back towards him and perked a brow, curious as to where they would go next, still not knowing of this 'other'.
"Then we have struck an accord, Ashryn of the woodland elves." Trevan says, with formality. He would then do an unusual gesture for his kind, but had seen it among the slaves in the underrealm. He holds out his hand for a handshake.
Whether or not she would shake his hand, Trevan would then pull forward the tome that rested at his hip and hold it up. "Are you ready to be bound? We are nearly there and now would be the time."
Reaching out, she placed her hand gently within in, her eyes peering into his as they shook her hands. "I'm pleased to know that not only do I need not remove my clothes but that I also get to play with your hair." She teased him lightly, knowing it could be the last moment she could allow the playfulness.
Her eyes were pulled to the tome, filling with wonderment as she marveled at the leather-bound curiosity. She knew that now was not the time to ask for questions about the tome and so she pulled her eyes from it and back to his face. Nodding her head she replied softly. "Yes."
Trevan gave her a firm quick, only slightly awkward handshake before giving her a *look* regarding her comment about playing with his hair. "It seems to me that we have the same hair." He would remark.
As he held the tome up he smiled, then flipped through the pages until he came across the spell he was looking for. To any eye that knew what rune spells look like, it would immediately become obvious that this book was filled with hundreds of simple spells that required little else but the runes and the energy of the caster.
At her consent, which he did find humor in, he began to cast the spell from off the page, and wove it into the air. Ashryn would feel her arms be pulled behind her back by the wrists by invisible bindings, woven from the air itself. The air bindings lock her wrists together and Trevan finishes the spell, tying it off for the time being so that it would hold without his concentration. A nifty trick, though not indefinite. Without repeat treatment throughout the day it will eventually fail.
She stood up on her tiptoes and peered over the edge of the tome. Sweeping her eyes amongst the pages she smiled before rocking back onto her heel as she gave a soft huff. Shivering slightly at the feel of the magic, its tendrils wrapping along her wrists and locking them together. As they were pulled behind her back she gave a slight frown but said nothing, her body becoming tense. For appearance's sake, this might be best but for her own safety, she'd have preferred to be bound upfront. She was beginning to wonder if she was actually going to make it out alive. At least she could take comfort in the fact that she would die fully clothes. She gave a snort of laughter as she shoved the thought away with a slight shake of her head. Taking a slow, deep breath she circled back to his comment on their hair.
"It's really rather odd actually. Mother and Father both have... I wouldn't even call it black. It's the darkest of dark, so dark it seems to almost swallowing the color around it. There's not a single member of our House that has white hair but they all have some variation of black. " She paused, she knew the rumors that surrounded her but that's all they could be rumors. For a brief moment, she wondered if she should have spoken of it at all and hesitated for a moment before a slow, mirthful grin slid across her lips. For a moment, she had forgotten she was bound and tried to reach up and tug at his hair, a low growl leaving parted lips as her features settled into a pout.

In 11 countries with significant Muslim population people hold overwhelmingly negative views about the Islamic State with the exception of Pakistan where most people have no definite opinion on the terror group, according to a new research.
Recent attacks in Paris, Beirut and Baghdad linked to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) have once again brought terrorism and Islamist extremism to the forefront of international relations.
According to newly-released data the Pew Research Centre collected in 11 countries with significant Muslim populations, people from Nigeria to Jordan to Indonesia overwhelmingly expressed negative views on the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
A nonpartisan fact tank, Pew Research Centre informs the public about issues, attitudes and trends shaping the world.
One exception was Pakistan, where a majority offered no definite opinion of ISIS.
Only 28 per cent in Pakistan had an unfavourable view of ISIS, and a majority of Pakistanis (62 per cent) had no opinion on the extremist group.
The countries surveyed were --Israel, Palestinian territories, Lebanon, Nigeria, Indonesia, Turkey, Malaysia, Senegal, Turkey, Jordan and Burkina Faso.
The nationally representative surveys were conducted as part of the Centres annual global poll in April and May.
India, which also has a significant Muslim population, was not part of the survey.
In no country surveyed did more than 15 per cent of the population show favourable attitudes towards ISIS. And in those countries with mixed religious and ethnic populations, negative views of ISIS cut across these lines.
In Lebanon, a victim of one of the most recent attacks, almost every person surveyed who gave an opinion had an unfavourable view of ISIS, including 99 per cent with a very unfavourable opinion.
Distaste toward ISIS was shared by Lebanese Sunni Muslims (98 per cent unfavourable) and 100 per cent of Shia Muslims and Lebanese Christians.
Israelis (97 per cent) and Jordanians (94 per cent) were also strongly opposed to ISIS as of spring 2015, including 91 per cent of Israeli Arabs. And 84 per cent in the Palestinian territories had a negative view of ISIS, both in the Gaza Strip (92 per cent) and the West Bank (79 per cent).
Six-in-ten or more had unfavourable opinions of ISIS in a diverse group of nations, including Indonesia, Turkey, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Malaysia and Senegal.
While people in Western nations were not asked about their views of ISIS, half or more of people in 15 mostly Western countries said they were very concerned about ISIS as an international threat.
In France, the target of multiple coordinated attacks in Paris last week, 71 per cent said before the attacks that they were very concerned about the ISIS threat.
Similar shares of the public in other nations also expressed serious concern, including 77 per cent of Spanish, 70 per cent of Germans, 69 per cent of Italians and 68 per cent of Americans.


LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Foreign Office (FCO) said on Wednesday it was urgently seeking information from Iran following reports of the detention of a British-Iranian dual national.
The New York-based Center for Human Rights in Iran reported that Abbas Edalat, a professor of computer science and mathematics at Imperial College in London, had been detained by the Iran's Revolutionary Guards in mid-April.
"We are urgently seeking information from the Iranian authorities following reports of the arrest of a British-Iranian dual national," an FCO spokesman said. He said he had no further details about the case at this time.

My greatest motivation to be an Au Pair abroad is the opportunity to learn, according to being a daughter of a geography teacher, the desire to know other places and cultures has always taken my heart, culture that I will find in my future family, something that I've done so many times, it makes me more secure.

"This isn't only going to be about updated betting lines and hot tips. It's about the highs, the lows and how to succeed and have fun whether you're a grizzled veteran or a newcomer to sports betting."
During his legendary radio career, North worked his way up from owning a hot dog stand to earning seven-figures annually talking sports. The at times controversial host spent 17-years with 670 The Score, helping to launch the all-sports radio format in Chicago. North departed The Score in 2008, embarking on several other media ventures including Fox Sports Radio, television and podcasts. The Chicago native announced his retirement from the industry in 2017, but North has continued to handicap sports.
"I started handicapping at age 14 and lost for 40 years, but haven't had a losing year in the last five. You are judged by your picks and wins, and that's why this show will be number one. I've always said gambling and winning is about believing and confidence. Scared money has no home," North said about his new show.
"Those in betting circles already know of Mike's incredible track record as a long-time gambling expert," Pastor added. "Bringing Mike back to Chicago's airwaves to become a lead voice in local sports betting was too good to pass up. Pairing him with ESPN 1000's resident gambling guru, Carmen DeFalco, was a no brainer."
DeFalco, the proclaimed "gambling guru," can be heard weekdays on ESPN 1000's midday show Carmen and Jurko from noon – 2pm, with his co-host John Jurkovich. DeFalco's new show with North, The Odd Couple will launch its first episode this Friday, March 8th.

The game — held on Saturday, February 4th — will feature Steve Kouleas and Gord Stellick in the booth. Scott Laughlin will work as the broadcast's rinkside reporter.
SiriusXM and the NHL have reached an extension that will see the satellite service continue to carry every league contest. The new multi-year deal will run through the 2028-2029 season.
Part of the deal includes the NHL All-Star Game airing exclusively on SiriusXM. The game had previously been distributed by Westwood One before Sports USA Media took over the rights in 2021.
The game — held on Saturday, February 4th — will feature Steve Kouleas and Gord Stellick in the booth. Scott Laughlin will work as the broadcast's rinkside reporter. All three are regulars on NHL Network Radio. Stellick and Laughlin serve as hosts of NHL Morning Skate, while Kouleas hosts the station's afternoon show, The Power Play.
NHL Network Radio will also provide live coverage of the league's All-Star Media Day on Thursday, February 2nd and the NHL All-Star Skills Competition on Friday, February 3rd.
The deal includes SiriusXM continuing to produce and distribute SiriusXM NHL Network Radio on the platform for the duration of the contract.
"Hockey fans are among the most passionate sports fans, and our long-term relationship with the NHL enables us to deliver those fans across North America comprehensive access to the league, offering them live broadcasts of every game and the only 24/7 NHL channel in audio," said SiriusXM's President and Chief Content Officer Scott Greenstein.
"Live sports, coupled with great, in-depth sports talk, is one of the key elements of our programming and we are very pleased to be extending our content agreement with the NHL for many more years."
The comment from Rosenberg comes after Giannotti was critical of he and La Greca last week. Giannotti claimed the pair were "bootlicking" Michael Kay.
The war of words between WFAN's Boomer & Gio and 98.7 ESPN New York's The Michael Kay Show continued Monday, with a quip from Peter Rosenberg about a rant from Gregg Giannotti.
Giannotti, a Vikings fan, was discussing his viewing situation during Monday morning's show as the franchise played the New York Giants. His wife, two daughters, mother, mother-in-law, and best friend joined him to watch the Super Wild Card game, and the WFAN host detailed that the situation grew more tense with each passing moment due to comments made by those in attendance.
Giannotti eventually admitted to yelling at his friend, and jokingly shouted "Not the time, Louise!" after his mother-in-law commented about how good the Giants had gotten during a Saquon Barkley touchdown run.
Don't watch a Vikings game with @GioWFAN! 🤣
Poor Louise.

— WFAN Sports Radio (@WFAN660) January 17, 2023
The rant didn't go unnoticed by Rosenberg, however, and he replied to Giannotti's video clip of the segment by saying "Fake Don Lagrecca (sic) much? This is called gimmick infringement".
The comment from Rosenberg comes after Giannotti was critical of he and La Greca last week. Giannotti claimed the pair were "bootlicking" Michael Kay after walking back comments he made about getting a producer at the station fired by calling them "performance art".
While criticising Kay, Giannotti could not identify Rosenberg, only calling him "whatever his face".
"He's gonna retire. It doesn't matter whether you kiss his ass or not, it's not gonna be the difference in you getting that job when he leaves," Giannotti said of La Greca and Rosenberg. "Just stop it. Just stop kissing his ass."
Rosenberg responded to the disapproval from Giannotti last week by tweeting "My favorite part of the trash talk from the guy on the fan is 'pick on someone your own size Michael Kay… pick on me'…LOL who are you?!!!!"
"Never mind letting yourselves down, never mind letting your employer down, never mind letting your fans down, you let the great P.A. down."
One of Super Wild Card Weekend's biggest upsets came in the Giants/Vikings game on Sunday afternoon, and Vikings radio voice Paul Allen obviously wasn't thrilled about the final offensive play.
Jim Rome picked up on that listening to Allen's call of Kirk Cousins finding T.J. Hockenson short of the line to gain, ending Minnesota's season.
Rome said he hurt for Allen, who like many followers of the Vikings were shocked to see the second seed in the NFC playoffs bounced the first weekend.
"On the one hand sad P.A. is the saddest thing ever. I hate that so much," Rome said Monday. "But he turns into pissed P.A. too. I mean that is a brutal way to lose. And what's sadder than sad P.A.?"
Allen went viral halfway through the 2022-23 season, with his calls of a wild game against the Buffalo Bills on November 13. Allen went through a complete roller coaster of emotions as Buffalo fought to win 33-30 in overtime.
You've seen the plays.
You've heard the calls.
But @PAOnTheMic's reactions?

Rome added that he thought disappointing Allen was the worst of all for the NFC North champs.
"Never mind letting yourselves down, never mind letting your employer down, never mind letting your fans down, you let the great P.A. down," he said.

Book Haul feat. Zora Neale Hurston
I'm still busy working my way through all the unread books on my shelves so, again, I didn't buy many books myself during the month of August. However, much to my delight and surprise, I ended up receiving some exciting bookish mail so I've still got lots of great stuff to show you.
penguin essentials These books were sent to me for review purposes.
I got a really exciting message at the beginning of the month from Penguin asking if I would like to receive the new additions to the Penguin Essentials series and, of course, I had to say yes. The 'Essentials' collection consists of some of the books that Penguin deem to be the most important of the twentieth century, with titles that are still as poignant and relevant today as they were when they were first published. I actually own a few of the first round in the series (Lolita, Lucky Jim and In Cold Blood) so I was pretty excited to add to my own collection of these backpack-friendly tomes. They're smaller than usual trade paperbacks so they're great for travelling around with. I have already read Hideous Kinky and Perfume, so keep your eyes peeled for those reviews soon. Which cover is your favourite? I'll start with one of mine...
in the country of men by hisham matar*
Libya, 1979. 9 year old Suleiman's days are circumscribed by the narrow rituals of childhood [...] But his nights have come to revolve around his mother's increasingly disturbing bedside stories full of old family bitterness. And then one day Suleiman sees his father across the square of a busy marketplace, his face wrapped in a pair of dark sunglasses. Wasn't he supposed to be away on business yet again? Why is he going into that strange building with the green shutters? Why did he lie? Suleiman is soon caught up in a world he cannot hope to understand - where the sound of the telephone ringing becomes a potent of grave danger; where his mother frantically burns his father's cherished books; where a stranger full of sinister questions sits outside in a parked car all day; where his best friend's father can disappear overnight, next to be seen publicly interrogated on state television.
hideous kinky by esther freud*
Two little girls are taken by their mother to Morocco on a 1960s pilgrimage of self-discovery. For Mum it is not just an escape from the grinding conventions of English life but a quest for personal fulfillment; her children, however, seek something more solid and stable amidst the shifting desert sands.
asylum by patrick mcgrath*
In the summer of 1959 Stella Raphael joins her psychiatrist husband, Max, at his new posting -- a maximum-security hospital for the criminally insane. Beautiful and headstrong, Stella soon falls under the spell of Edgar Stark, a brilliant and magnetic sculptor who has been confined to the hospital for murdering his wife in a psychotic rage. But Stella's knowledge of Edgar's crime is no hindrance to the volcanic attraction that ensues -- a passion that will consume Stella's sanity and destroy her and the lives of those around her.
the mosquito coast by paul theroux*
Allie Fox is going to re-create the world. Abominating the cops, crooks, junkies and scavengers of modern America, he abandons civilisation and takes his family to live in the Honduran jungle. There his tortured, messianic genius keeps them alive, his hoarse tirades harrying them through a diseased and dirty Eden towards unimaginable darkness.
moon tiger by penelope lively*
The elderly Claudia Hampton, a bestselling author of popular history; lies alone in a London hospital bed. Memories of her life still glow in her fading consciousness, but she imagines writing a history of the world. Instead, Moon Tiger is her own history, the life of a strong, independent woman, with its often contentious relations with family and friends. At its center - forever frozen in time, the still point of her turning world - is the cruelly truncated affair with Tom, a British tank commander whom Claudia knew as a reporter in Egypt during World War II.
billy liar by keith waterhouse*
Billy Liar tells the story of Billy Fisher, a Yorkshire teenager unable to stop lying - especially to his three girlfriends. Trapped by his boring job and working-class parents, Billy finds that his only happiness lies in grand plans for his future and fantastical day dreams of the fictional country Ambrosia.
the history of love by nicole krauss*
Leo Gursky taps his radiator each evening to let his upstairs neighbour know he's still alive. But it wasn't always like this: in the Polish village of his youth, he fell in love and wrote a book. Sixty years later and half a world away, fourteen-year-old Alma, who was named after a character in that book, undertakes an adventure to find her namesake and save her family. sands.
foe by j. m. coetzee*
In an act of breathtaking imagination, J. M. Coetzee radically reinvents the story of Robinson Crusoe. In the early eighteenth century, Susan Barton finds herself adrift from a mutinous ship and cast ashore on a remote desert island. There she finds shelter with its only other inhabitants: a man named Cruso and his tongueless slave, Friday. In time, she builds a life for herself as Cruso's companion and, eventually, his lover. At last they are rescued by a passing ship, but only she and Friday survive the journey back to London. Determined to have her story told, she pursues the eminent man of letters Daniel Foe in the hope that he will relate truthfully her memories to the world. But with Cruso dead, Friday incapable of speech and Foe himself intent on reshaping her narrative, Barton struggles to maintain her grip on the past, only to fall victim to the seduction of storytelling itself.
a passage to india by e. m. forster*
When Adela Quested and her elderly companion Mrs Moore arrive in the Indian town of Chandrapore, they quickly feel trapped by its insular and prejudiced 'Anglo-Indian' community. Determined to escape the parochial English enclave and explore the 'real India', they seek the guidance of the charming and mercurial Dr Aziz, a cultivated Indian Muslim. But a mysterious incident occurs while they are exploring the Marabar caves with Aziz, and the well-respected doctor soon finds himself at the centre of a scandal that rouses violent passions among both the British and their Indian subjects.
perfume by patrick suskind*
In the slums of eighteenth-century France, the infant Jean-Baptiste Grenouille is born with one sublime gift - an absolute sense of smell. As a boy, he lives to decipher the odors of Paris, and apprentices himself to a prominent perfumer who teaches him the ancient art of mixing precious oils and herbs. But Grenouille's genius is such that he is not satisfied to stop there, and he becomes obsessed with capturing the smells of objects such as brass doorknobs and fresh-cut wood. Then one day he catches a hint of a scent that will drive him on an ever-more-terrifying quest to create the 'ultimate perfume' - the scent of a beautiful young virgin.
gift from grandma
I received a package from my Grandma containing a book that she wasn't really getting along with so, knowing how much I love to read, she thought she would send it my way in the hope that I would like it more. I haven't read this author before but I have heard of her through others so I think I'll keep this book and see how I get along with it somewhere down the line.
emotionally weird by kate atkinson
On a weather-beaten island off the coast of Scotland, Effie and her mother, Nora, take refuge in the large, mouldering house of their ancestors and tell each other stories. Nora, at first, recounts nothing that Effie really wants to hear -- like who her real father was. Effie tells various versions of her life at college, where in fact she lives in a lethargic relationship with Bob, a student who never goes to lectures, seldom gets out of bed, and to whom Klingons are as real as Spaniards and Germans. But as mother and daughter spin their tales, strange things are happening around them. Is Effie being followed? Is someone killing the old people? And where is the mysterious yellow dog?
suprise mail! This book was sent to me for review purposes.
Sometimes publishers send me books out of the blue and I end up with surprise mail to open. It's like having a few miniature Christmases throughout the year! As you probably know, I love reading short stories so this little sampler of Penguin's upcoming volumes on the British short story is right up my street. I definitely want to add the physical books to my collection once they have been released in full later this year. You should check out my post on how to write short stories if you haven't already done so!

second hand purchase
I sort of broke my book buying ban in order to purchase one of my favourite books in 'very good' secondhand condition in an edition that is currently out of print. I'm really happy to finally own it and I'm hoping to pencil in a little re-read next year in order to encourage as many people as possible to pick it up! I absolutely love these Virago designer editions. I'm after the DuMaurier ones next!
their eyes were watching god by zora neale hurston
. When Janie, at sixteen, is caught kissing shiftless Johnny Taylor, her grandmother swiftly marries her off to an old man with sixty acres. Janie endures two stifling marriages before meeting the man of her dreams, who offers not diamonds, but a packet of flowering seeds.

The Mavericks Are Making Plans To Extend A Fan Favorite

So far this season, Christian Wood has been averaging 17.8 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 1.6 assists with his new team, the Dallas Mavericks.
He has shown that the team's acquisition of him in the summer was a very smart move as he has become a crucial part of the team's success.
Therefore, it's not a huge shock to hear that the franchise wants to keep him around.
The Dallas Mavericks have interest in offering Christian Wood a 2 year contract extension which would be for a maximum of $36 million, per @espn_macmahon pic.twitter.com/C2ASej8vnY
— NBACentral (@TheNBACentral) January 3, 2023
Tim MacMahon of ESPN is reporting that the Mavericks have an interest in offering Wood a two-year contract extension which would be for a maximum of $36 million.
That's a lot of money but Wood might want more, especially considering how well he's been playing lately.
The Mavericks have won their last seven games and Wood has been a part of them all.
Although he came to the team as a bench player, he has actually started in the last 9 games.
During those games, he scored double-digits repeatedly, including one game where he reached 30 points.
Wood has really come into his own even more now that he's playing for Dallas and he might want to earn a bigger paycheck.
If that happens, the Mavericks will have a tough conundrum on their hands: do they pay him a heftier fee, or do they let him go to another franchise that will?
We will see what happens over the next few weeks.
Dallas is trying to climb even higher in the standings and Wood is wanting to be a major part of their victories.
If they keep winning, he may be able to convince them to move some money around and give him a bigger, better deal.

So, my jaw diverts when it goes up and down; it makes a major pain when chewing food. I'm not sure if these exercises would be good for me or not.
The rule with any exercise is that they shouldn't hurt, or in this instance pop or click. If you're doing it gently then it certainly won't do any harm.
But equally they probably won't fix the problem; it sounds like you have an injured meniscus; have you had dental work done under a general anaesthetic? Or a hard punch or slap to the face?
It sounds like you need to consult someone experienced with jaw joint work.
Do you grind your teeth at night? Do you get facial pain or headaches?
Yes Dr B, I have had this since I can remember, but I did have oral surgery to have my wisdom and molar teeth removed. I had braces when I was young, that was supposed to "fix my jaw" as I had moonface, my jaw sticking out way far, and he thought it would fix that as well.
I don't grind my teeth, but my dentist gave me an insert that would help my clenching she thought. I clench my jaw very tight during the night. I have bitten my tongue and cheek very hard as to draw blood and scar both of them.
I do get headaches; have had migraines for a good long time.
I'm thinking about going to a chiropractor here in the area who is "really good at" these things but it scares me as I have fibromyalgia, and it usually screws me up for quite a while when I visit him. Anyway, thank you for the suggestion.
Whether caused by the braces, or the surgery, or would have happened anyway is of no consequence for you; it's water under the bridge.
Talk to your chiropractor; tell you want to come, but are screwed up after his treatment. Spell it out. He needs to hear you, and adapt his treatment; or you go elsewhere.
Incidently, for your polymyalgia, increase the omega 3 foods in your diet, and decrease the omega 6; it's the ratio that's important and it sounds like yours is far too high. Not pills. Food. Type anti inflammatory omega 3 into the Site Search function at chiropractic help.
Wear that plate; I know it's a pain but they do help.
