Include Assets extension for the HTML Webpack Plugin
========================================
[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/html-webpack-include-assets-plugin.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/js/html-webpack-include-assets-plugin) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/jharris4/html-webpack-include-assets-plugin.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/jharris4/html-webpack-include-assets-plugin) [![js-semistandard-style](https://img.shields.io/badge/code%20style-semistandard-brightgreen.svg?style=flat-square)](https://github.com/Flet/semistandard)

This is the `README.md` from **version 1.x** which provides support for ** Node < 8.6 **.

This **version is deprecated** in favour of [https://github.com/jharris4/html-webpack-include-assets-plugin](html-webpack-include-assets-plugin version 2).

Enhances [html-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/ampedandwired/html-webpack-plugin)
functionality by allowing you to specify js or css assets to be included.

When using a plugin such as [copy-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/copy-webpack-plugin) you may have assets output to your build directory that are not detected/output by the html-webpack-plugin.

This plugin allows you to force some of these assets to be included in the output from html-webpack-plugin.

Installation
------------
You must be running webpack on node 8.x or higher

Install the plugin with npm:
```shell
$ npm install --save-dev html-webpack-include-assets-plugin
```

Basic Usage
-----------
Require the plugin in your webpack config:

```javascript
var HtmlWebpackIncludeAssetsPlugin = require('html-webpack-include-assets-plugin');
```

Add the plugin to your webpack config:

```javascript
output: {
  publicPath: '/abc/'
},
plugins: [
  new HtmlWebpackPlugin(),
  new HtmlWebpackIncludeAssetsPlugin({ assets: ['a.js', 'b.css'], append: true })
]
```

Which will generate html like this:

```html
<head>
  <!-- other head content -->
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="/abc/b.css"/>
</head>
<body>
  <!-- other body content -->
  <script type="text/javascript" src="/abc/a.js"></script>
</body>
```

Options
-------
The available options are:

- `jsExtensions`: `string` or `array`

  Specifies the file extensions to use to determine if assets are script assets. Default is `['.js']`.

- `cssExtensions`: `string` or `array`

  Specifies the file extensions to use to determine if assets are style assets. Default is `['.css']`.

- `assets`: `string` or `array` or `object`

  Assets that will be output into your html-webpack-plugin template.

  To specify just one asset, simply pass a string or object. To specify multiple, pass an array of strings or objects.

  If the asset path is static and ends in one of the `jsExtensions` or `cssExtensions` values, simply use a string value.

  If the asset is not static or does not have a valid extension, you can instead pass an object with properties `path` (required) and `type` or `glob` or `globPath` or `attributes` (optional). In this case `path` is the asset href/src, `type` is one of `js` or `css`, and `glob` is a wildcard to use to match all files in the path (uses the [glob](https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob) package). The `globPath` can be used to specify the directory from which the `glob` should search for filename matches (the default is to use `path` within webpack's output directory).

  The `attributes` property may be used to add additional attributes to the link or script element that is injected. The keys of this object are attribute names and the values are the attribute values (string or boolean key values are allowed).

  The `assetPath` property may be used to specify the full path to the included asset. This can be useful as it will trigger a recompilation after the assets have changed when using `webpack-dev-server` or `webpack-dev-middleware` in development mode.

- `append`: `boolean`

  Specifying whether the assets should be prepended (`false`) before any existing assets, or appended (`true`) after them.

- `resolvePaths`: `boolean`

  Specifying whether the asset paths should be resolved with `path.resolve` (i.e. made absolute).

- `publicPath`: `boolean` or `string`

  Specifying whether the assets should be prepended with webpack's public path or a custom publicPath (`string`).

  A value of `false` may be used to disable prefixing with webpack's publicPath, or a value like `myPublicPath/` may be used to prefix all assets with the given string. Default is `true`.

- `hash`: `boolean` or `function(assetName, hash)`

  Specifying whether the assets should be appended with webpack's compilation hash. This is useful for cache busting. Default is `false`.

- `files`: `string` or `array`

  Files that the assets will be added to.

  By default the assets will be included in all files. If files are defined, the assets will only be included in specified file globs (uses the [minimatch](https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch) package).

  - `cssAssets`: `array`

  Optional shortcut for adding css assets. An array of css asset objects.

  See the cssAssets example below for the syntax of css asset object.

Example
-------

_____

Using `HtmlWebpackIncludeAssetsPlugin` and `CopyWebpackPlugin` to include assets to `html-webpack-plugin` template :

```javascript
plugins: [
  new CopyWebpackPlugin([
    { from: 'node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css', to: 'css/'},
    { from: 'node_modules/bootstrap/dist/fonts', to: 'fonts/'}
  ]),
  new HtmlWebpackPlugin(),
  new HtmlWebpackIncludeAssetsPlugin({
    assets: ['css/bootstrap.min.css', 'css/bootstrap-theme.min.css'],
    append: false
  })
]
```

_____

Appending and prepending at the same time :

```javascript
plugins: [
  new CopyWebpackPlugin([
    { from: 'node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css', to: 'css/'},
    { from: 'node_modules/bootstrap/dist/fonts', to: 'fonts/'}
  ]),
  new HtmlWebpackPlugin(),
  new HtmlWebpackIncludeAssetsPlugin({
    assets: ['css/bootstrap.min.css', 'css/bootstrap-theme.min.css'],
    append: false
  }),
  new HtmlWebpackIncludeAssetsPlugin({
    assets: ['css/custom.css'],
    append: true
  })
]
```

_____

Using custom `jsExtensions` :

```javascript
plugins: [
  new HtmlWebpackPlugin(),
  new HtmlWebpackIncludeAssetsPlugin({
    assets: ['dist/output.js', 'lib/content.jsx'],
    append: false,
    jsExtensions: ['.js', '.jsx']
  })
]
```

_____

Using custom `publicPath` :

```javascript
plugins: [
  new CopyWebpackPlugin([
    { from: 'node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css', to: 'css/'},
    { from: 'node_modules/bootstrap/dist/fonts', to: 'fonts/'}
  ]),
  new HtmlWebpackPlugin(),
  new HtmlWebpackIncludeAssetsPlugin({
    assets: ['css/bootstrap.min.css', 'css/bootstrap-theme.min.css'],
    append: false,
    publicPath: 'myPublicPath/'
  })
]
```

_____

Or to include assets without prepending the `publicPath`:

```javascript
plugins: [
  new HtmlWebpackPlugin(),
  new HtmlWebpackIncludeAssetsPlugin({
    assets: ['css/no-public-path.min.css', 'http://some.domain.com.js'],
    append: false,
    publicPath: false
  })
]
```

_____

Manually specifying asset types :

```javascript
plugins: [
  new CopyWebpackPlugin([
    { from: 'node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css', to: 'css/'},
    { from: 'node_modules/bootstrap/dist/fonts', to: 'fonts/'}
  ]),
  new HtmlWebpackPlugin(),
  new HtmlWebpackIncludeAssetsPlugin({
    assets: [
      '/css/bootstrap.min.css',
      '/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css',
      { path: 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Material+Icons', type: 'css' }
    ],
    append: false,
    publicPath: ''
  })
]
```

_____

Adding custom attributes to asset tags :

The bootstrap-theme link tag will be given an id="bootstrapTheme" attribute.

```javascript
plugins: [
  new CopyWebpackPlugin([
    { from: 'node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css', to: 'css/'},
    { from: 'node_modules/bootstrap/dist/fonts', to: 'fonts/'}
  ]),
  new HtmlWebpackPlugin(),
  new HtmlWebpackIncludeAssetsPlugin({
    assets: [
      '/css/bootstrap.min.css',
      { path: '/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css', attributes: { id: 'bootstrapTheme' } }
    ],
    append: false,
    publicPath: ''
  })
]
```

_____

Using `hash` option :

When the hash option is set to `true`, asset paths will be appended with a hash query parameter (`?hash=<the_hash>`)

```javascript
plugins: [
  new CopyWebpackPlugin([
    { from: 'node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css', to: 'css/'},
    { from: 'node_modules/bootstrap/dist/fonts', to: 'fonts/'}
  ]),
  new HtmlWebpackPlugin(),
  new HtmlWebpackIncludeAssetsPlugin({
    assets: ['css/bootstrap.min.css', 'css/bootstrap-theme.min.css'],
    append: false,
    hash: true
  })
]
```

_____

When the hash option is set to a `function`, asset paths will be replaced with the result of executing that function

```javascript
plugins: [
  new CopyWebpackPlugin([
    { from: 'somepath/somejsfile.js', to: 'js/somejsfile.[hash].js' },
    { from: 'somepath/somecssfile.css', to: 'css/somecssfile.[hash].css' }
  ]),
  new HtmlWebpackPlugin(),
  new HtmlWebpackIncludeAssetsPlugin({
    assets: [{ path: 'js', glob: '*.js', globPath: 'somepath' }],
    assets: [{ path: 'css', glob: '*.css', globPath: 'somepath' }],
    append: false,
    hash: function(assetName, hash) {
      assetName = assetName.replace(/\.js$/, '.' + hash + '.js');
      assetName = assetName.replace(/\.css$/, '.' + hash + '.css');
      return assetName;
    }
  })
]
```

_____

Specifying specific `files`

```javascript
plugins: [
  new CopyWebpackPlugin([
    { from: 'node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css', to: 'css/'},
    { from: 'node_modules/bootstrap/dist/fonts', to: 'fonts/'}
  ]),
  new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
    filename: 'a/index.html'
  }),
  new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
    filename: 'b/index.html'
  }),
  new HtmlWebpackIncludeAssetsPlugin({
    files: ['a/**/*.html'],
    assets: ['css/a.css'],
    append: true
  }),
  new HtmlWebpackIncludeAssetsPlugin({
    files: ['b/**/*.html'],
    assets: ['css/b.css'],
    append: true
  })
]
```

_____

Specifying assets usings a `glob`

Note that since `copy-webpack-plugin` does not actually copy the files to webpack's output directory until *after* `html-webpack-plugin` has completed, it is necessary to use the `globPath` to retrieve filename matches relative to the original location of any such files.

```javascript
plugins: [
  new CopyWebpackPlugin([
    { from: 'node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css', to: 'css/'},
    { from: 'node_modules/bootstrap/dist/fonts', to: 'fonts/'}
  ]),
  new HtmlWebpackPlugin(),
  new HtmlWebpackIncludeAssetsPlugin({
    assets: [{ path: 'css', glob: '*.css', globPath: 'node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/' }],
    append: true
  })
]
```

_____

Specifying `cssAssets` (a shortcut for specifying assets of type css)

```javascript
output: {
  publicPath: '/my-public-path/'
},
plugins: [
  new CopyWebpackPlugin([
    { from: 'node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css', to: 'css/'},
    { from: 'node_modules/bootstrap/dist/fonts', to: 'fonts/'}
  ]),
  new HtmlWebpackPlugin(),
  new HtmlWebpackIncludeAssetsPlugin({
    assets: [],
    append: true,
    cssAssets: [
      {
        href: 'asset/path',
        attributes: {
          rel: 'icon'
        }
      },
      {
        href: '/absolute/asset/path',
        asset: false,
        attributes: {
          rel: 'manifest'
        }
      }
    ]
  })
]
```

Will append the following link elements into the index template html

```html
<head>
  <!-- previous header content -->
  <link rel="icon" href="/my-public-path/asset/path"/>
  <link rel="manifest" href="/absolute/asset/path"/>
</head>
```

Note that the second cssAsset's href was not prefixed with the webpack `publicPath` because `csAsset.asset` was set to `false`.

_____

Caveats
-------

Some users have encountered issues with plugin ordering.

- It is advisable to always place any `HtmlWebpackPlugin` plugins **before** any `HtmlWebpackIncludeAssetsPlugin` plugins in your webpack config.

This plugin has only been tested with **two instances** in one webpack config, where one had `option.append: false` and the other had `option.append: true`.

- It is **not recommended to use more than one instance of this plugin** in one webpack config unless using the above configuration.

Changing `HtmlWebpackPlugin.options.inject` from its **default value** may cause **issues**.

- This plugin **requires** `HtmlWebpackPlugin.options.inject` to be `true` (it defaults to true if undefined) for attribute injection to work.

If you setup your webpack config to have `HtmlWebpackPlugin.options.inject: false` like this:

```javascript
output: {
  publicPath: '/the-public-path/'
},
plugins: [
  new HtmlWebpackPlugin({ inject: false }),
  new HtmlWebpackIncludeAssetsPlugin({
    assets: [{ path: 'css/bootstrap-theme.min.css', attributes: { id: 'bootstrapTheme' } }],
    links: [{ href: 'the-ref', attributes: { rel: 'icon' } }],
    append: true
  })
]
```

You will need to add the following to your *template* `index.html` to get assets to be **generated**:

```html
<head>
  <!-- other head content -->
  <% for (var cssIndex = 0; cssIndex < htmlWebpackPlugin.files.css.length; cssIndex++) { %>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<%= htmlWebpackPlugin.files.css[cssIndex] %>">
  <% } %>
</head>
<body>
  <!-- other body content -->
  <% for (var jsIndex = 0; jsIndex < htmlWebpackPlugin.files.js.length; jsIndex++) { %>
    <script src="<%= htmlWebpackPlugin.files.js[jsIndex] %>"></script>
  <% } %>
</body>
```

Using the (lodash) `template syntax` like this for css and js files is necessary when you turn injection off.

But, the `template syntax` does not allow injection of more than `one attribute value`.

This means it will **generate** an `index.html` that looks like this:

```html
<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="/the-public-path/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="/the-public-path/the-ref">
</head>
```

None of the `link` elements have any of the `attributes` we specified for the `assets` or `links`.

This is because `HtmlWebpackPlugin.options.inject` needs to be set to `true` for `attributes` injection to work.


Question: What has your experience been with the professors at the Duquesne University School of Pharmacy?
Beth Travers: Working with the professors is one of my favorite parts of pharmacy school. If you are interested in a specific area of practice, chances are we have a professor who works in that area. All of the professors are always willing to talk with you, and give you advice about classes, rotations, or your future career.
The School of Pharmacy sets you up with a mentor, who is a great resource when you're first starting. As you progress through the program, you'll begin to find mentors who work in the area of pharmacy you intend to pursue. All of the professors are so friendly and you get to know many of them on a personal basis, it's nice to be able to just walk into a professor's office and have a conversation.
Many of the faculty also work on research, in addition to teaching and working at their clinical practice sites. They are always looking for people to help them with these projects and it's a great way to gain experience as a student. Professors work on projects that appeal to a wide variety of interests; there's clinical research, lab research and even writing journal articles.
The best advice I can give is to talk to the professors, get to know them and make connections. Pharmacy is a small world and you never know who might be able to help you get where you're trying to go.


After two long years of wait, Netflix's awful experience on the Android TV is finally addressed. We have great news for people who were looking for Android TV's universal search feature in Netflix. According to Android Twitter account and Goggle+ posts, it is clear that Android TV's universal search feature is now available for Netflix. This enables users to search through Netflix's collection. So, with this update we can say that Android TV seeing improvements over the time.
Surprisingly, Apple and Roku streaming devices have similar features like universal search which is now acquired by Netflix. Looking back it's just been a couple of days, the giant Apple has announced a number of 3rd party apps that Siri can search through on Apple TV. Now, Google connects Android TV's Universal Search to Netflix which makes it easy to search movies and shows from Netflix's library.
Apple Drops To Continue Its Thunderbolt Display, No Successor Announced!
The screenshots of the new feature demonstrates the search on Netflix. When someone searches for a show on Netflix, a card comes up with a cover image, description and link to open the app. And then, an image from the show covers the background. On scrolling down user can see the cast list. This interface is brought up when searching from anyplace in the Android TV.
Currently, we have no updates available for Netflix Android TV App. And it is unclear whether this universal search integration compels an update of the app or it is activated to server-side.
Netflix is presently facing many challenges, but analysts strongly believe that these challenges can be fixed with the long-term policies of the company. According to Cantor Fitzgerald analyst, Youssef Squali – Headwinds such as the Rio Olympics in August will divert attention for a time, and the company faces tougher year-over-year comparisons and the "un-grandfathering" of the $7.99 plan in the second half of the year.
Earlier this year, Goggle made an announcement about several first-time Android TV partners besides new models from surviving companies like Sony. Many televisions are going to enter the market which includes an affordable 4K set from RCA. The Chinese consumer electronics manufacturer, Xiaomi has also unveiled a slim 4K streaming box during Google I/O. This streaming box will be available in US for an affordable prize.

Linden Homes is holding an energy efficiency event at its Tithe Barn development in Exeter. Taking place on Saturday 23rd July from 11am, the hour-long event is designed to help new residents and visitors learn more about the development's sustainability benefits.
Tithe Barn will feature one, two, three and four bedroom high quality homes in a village-like setting, while being close to Exeter's city centre. The homes are being built to level four of the Code for Sustainable Homes, which will reduce energy usage and have a positive impact on utility bills for all residents. Behind this is a state-of-the-art district heating network which includes remote metering technology so homeowners can keep track of how much energy they're using.
Across the entire development, it is estimated that this new system will provide 7,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide savings per year – or the equivalent of removing 2,500 cars from the road.
In addition to the district heating network, each property will also include cycle storage, increased levels of insulation to ensure heat loss is kept to a minimum and responsibly sourced materials will be used wherever possible.
Media can contact Emma Mackay on 01626 356666 or 07738312960 for more information, images and interviews with Linden Homes.


This is an early draft of an illustration I'm working on for a Systems Biology textbook. It is meant to very simply get the point across that transcription is way more complicated in eukaryotes than in prokaryotes (the distinction is made from the previous figure in the book). One of the challenges of doing these illustrations is that the book will be printed in duotone, which means grayscale plus one color - that color being a particular shade of red that was specified by the publisher. The lighter pink that you see is just a partially transparent version of the red, a trick to get more colors out by taking advantage of the value range.
If I thought at first that this seemed restrictive, I quickly remembered that from the time of Norman Rockwell's inaugural Saturday Evening Post cover in 1916 until 1926, when the Post printed their first color cover, he had to do all of his covers in duotone, also relying on a specific shade of red. Sure, he didn't have to distinguish different classes of biomolecules from one another or try to make sense of hulking multi-protein complexes, but how frustrating it must have been for him as a painter. I used to live in Massachusetts and I visited his well-preserved studio in Stockbridge. I stood in the spot where many a model stood for him, a perfectly northern-lit space that ensured that the colors changed as little as possible as the sun moved through the sky. A fat lot of good that did him while every tube of paint but red, white and black must have sat gathering dust in the back. Obviously I can't compare my work to Normal Rockwell's, but I can draw a lot of inspiration from his gorgeous use of duotone and his uncanny talent to tell an entire story with a single image.

Q: Combining OnValidate and OnBeforePost? As example, I have a form with a DBNavigator and a few DBEdits.

I want to achive the following:

*

*When the user enters something wrong in the DBEdit and wants to switch to another control, a warning should be displayed, but he can continue working.

*When the user wants to post the dataset, the post will be rejected, and the warning will be displayed again.

The problem is, that OnValidate is just a TFieldNotifyEvent and therefore cannot tell the application if the edit was valid, so there is no way to check if everything was valid before you post.
I have tried following:
Idea 1: Let OnBeforePost validate and throw an Exception

*

*Pro:

*

*Invalid data will not be posted

*The user can continue working and revert the changes using the DBNavigator if he cannot complete the form.

*Contra:

*

*No warning is displayed when the user leaves the DBEdit

*(Low priority) All validations have to be in one single point. Better Object Orientated would be if the validate is done directly in the TField.

Idea 2: Throw an Exception in OnValidate

*

*Pro:

*

*It is impossible to post invalid data.

*Contra:

*

*The user might stay in an endless loop if he is unable to enter something valid (e.g. because he doesn't know what to enter), and he cannot even press the "Revert" button on the DBNavigator! In this case, he has to kill the Application using the task manager, which is a worst-case-scenario in regards to user-friendliness.

Idea 3: Show a (non-Exception) warning in OnValidate, and validate again in OnBeforePost (and throw an Exception)

*

*Pro:

*

*Warning is possible, and invalid data cannot be posted.

*Contra:

*

*The check has to implemented twice (even if outsourced into a function), and there is the risk that the developer might forget 1 of these 2 checks. Also, for big projects with many fields to validate, it gets quickly confusing.

*When the user clicks the Post-Button while being in the DBEdit, he gets the message twice (one warning for leaving the DBEdit, and one Exception because the post fails)

*In case the data is already wrong in the database, when the dataset was loaded (e.g. because of an older program version which didn't check the value), the post will be allowed (if the user didn't edit the value in this session)

Is there a better way?

A: It seems to me, that you are mixing business logic (data validation) with UI (OnValidate). Split them. Place all business logic in to separate functions or object. Probably it is even worth to implement MVC pattern. But in this case you will have to replace DB-controls with ORM framework + LiveBindings.

A: I have found the solution and posted it here:
https://www.viathinksoft.de/?page=codelib&showid=131
I will translate the explanation text when I have some more time.

Affiliate marketing in the simplest terms is getting paid to refer products or services.
- Honestly refer whatever the products or services are, because you think it can really help who purchases the products.
I am proud to say I make a living with Affiliate Marketing, Networking, and Infor-preneuring.
In many cases, your credibility is what people will buy not the referred product.
Think about anytime you bought something suggested to you by someone.
It was mainly the credibility of the individual you bought.
You can even offer affiliate programs for products you own or services you offer to people.


Keeping Up with the Kardashians premiered on October 14, 2007, on the E! network and the American television series continue to air once per week in 2019 as well!
However, years go by and people get old. Take Kourtney Kardashian, can you believe she's turning 40 on April 18?
Well, we quite agree that she looks way younger, but one can't stop time and can't escape aging! Next week the reality star will be celebrating her 40th birthday. And although we don't know yet about the celebration ceremony, some of her family members and her ex-boyfriend Scott Disick, whom she shares two children, sent her some pre-birthday wishes on a video first shared by Dailymail.
I'm always so proud that you came before me, so I've always copied you and watched everything that you've done and followed in your footsteps. So, thank you for being the best sister, the best mentor and I love you. Happy birthday!
You will always be the Jane to my Suzanne, the Reese's to my Pieces, the peanut butter to my jelly. I really can't imagine my life without you. I love you so much. I think you are one of the funniest people I know when you're actually paying attention at life.
We love you so much. We appreciate everything you do and do for us. And you are a wonderful, wonderful mom. We want to see you get older and shrink and get smaller.
I love to be loved, am fluent in silence and like to ditch routine.

A tender, golden biscuit crust conceals ripe, perfumed peaches in this fantastic summer cobbler. Serve à la mode or with fresh whipped cream.
Place oven rack in lowest position; heat oven to 375 degrees F.
Filling: Toss peaches with lemon juice in a 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Mix together sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a small bowl; add to peaches and toss to evenly coat.
Cobbler dough: Whisk flour, cornmeal, 1/4 cup of the sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl until blended. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add cream and mix with a fork, just until dough comes together. Gently knead dough in bowl 5 times.
Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface; roll into a 13x9-inch rectangle, about 3/8-inch thick. Cut dough rectangle lengthwise into 1-inch-wide strips.

Evidence for a non-Rydberg molecular doubly excited state of Ca2
M. A. Gaveau, J. M. Mestdagh, T. Bouissou, G. Durand, M. C. Heitz and F. Spiegelman
Chem. Phys. Lett., 467, 260, 2009 [doi]
We report experimental and theoretical evidence of a non-Rydberg molecular doubly excited state of Ca2 involving excited molecular orbitals mixing 4p and 3d characters. The excitation spectrum of Ca2, carried by helium or argon clusters, is recorded experimentally in the range 25 600–27 800 cm−1, displaying a bimodal structure. The latter is interpreted from ab initio calculation and analysis of the adiabatic states of Ca2 up to doubly excited asymptotes Ca(4p3d1D) + Ca(4s21S) and Ca(4s3d3D) + Ca(4s4p3P), and the relevant dipole transition moments. The bimodal structure is assigned as resulting from the avoided crossing between adiabatic states 31Πu and 41Πu, reflecting the mixing of doubly excited configurations and absorbing singly excited configurations.
Observation of a barium xenon exciplex within large argon cluster
M. Briant, M. A. Gaveau and J. M. Mestdagh
Spectroscopic measurements provide fluorescence and excitation spectra of a single barium atom codeposited with xenon atoms on argon clusters of average size ≈2000. The spectra are studied as a function of the number of xenon atoms per cluster. The excitation spectrum with ∼10 xenon atoms per cluster is qualitatively similar to that observed when no xenon atom is present on the cluster. It consists of two bands located on each side of the 6s6p P1−6s2 S1 resonance line of the free barium. In contrast, the fluorescence spectrum differs qualitatively since a barium-xenon exciplex is observed, which has no counterpart in xenon free clusters. In particular an emission is observed, which is redshifted by 729cm−1 with respect to the Ba(6s6p P1−6s2 S1) resonance line.
Reactivity of Ba and Ca atoms with N2O molecules deposited on van der Waals clusters and helium droplets
M.-A. Gaveau, M. Briant and J.-M. Mestdagh
AIP Conference Proceedings, 1501, 1373, 2012 [doi]
We have studied the chemical reactivity of the alkaline earth metal atoms Ba and Ca with N2O deposited on van der Waals (argon, nitrogen, methane, and neon clusters) in the case of Ba and on argon and helium clusters in the case of Ca. The first reaction forms BaO from 1 Ba and 1 N2O except at high Ba coverage where another channel is open yielding Ba2O. With Ca, the reaction 1:1 is hindered and the chemiluminescence comes from the reaction between 2 Ca and 2 N2O forming 2 CaO molecules.
Laser Induced Fluorescence Spectroscopy of the Ca Dimer Deposited on Helium and Mixed Helium/Xenon Clusters
M. A. Gaveau, C. Pothier, M. Briant and J. M. Mestdagh
Proceedings of the 29th International Symposium on Rarefied Gas Dynamics, Amer Inst Physics1628, 879, 2014 [doi]
We study how the laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy of the calcium dimer deposited on pure helium clusters is modified by the addition of xenon atoms. In the wavelength range between 365 and 385 nm, the Ca dimer is excited from its ground state up to two excited electronic states leading to its photodissociation in Ca(P-1)+Ca(S-1): this process is monitored by recording the Ca(P-1) fluorescence at 422.7nm. One of these electronic states of Ca-2 is a diexcited one correlating to the Ca(4s 4p P-3) + Ca(4s 3d D-3), the other one is a repulsive state correlating to the Ca(4s 4p P-1) + Ca(4s(2) S-1) asymptote, accounting for the dissociation of Ca-2 and the observation of the subsequent Ca(P-1) emission. On pure helium clusters, the fluorescence exhibits the calcium atomic resonance line Ca (S-1 <- P-1) at 422.7 nm (23652 cm(-1)) assigned to ejected calcium, and a narrow red sided band corresponding to calcium that remains solvated on the helium cluster. When adding xenon atoms to the helium clusters, the intensity of these two features decreases and a new spectral band appears on the red side of calcium resonance line; the intensity and the red shift of this component increase along with the xenon quantity deposited on the helium cluster: it is assigned to the emission of Ca(P-1) associated with the small xenon aggregate embedded inside the helium cluster.

Disney's Live-Action Mulan Script Reveals a White Male Lead
Hollywood's whitewashing woes may be continuing, or at least they were going to at one point or another. Recently, Disney got on seemingly everyone's good side when the confirmed that they would be releasing their live-action remake of Mulan in 2018. The celebration may be a bit short lived though, as some details from the initial script for the movie have leaked, which revealed that particular version of the movie would feature a white male lead.
A recent blog post that showed up on Angry Asian Man claims that Disney's original script for the live-action Mulan, which was titled The Legend of Mulan, centered on a "white merchant" man. Those who remember the Disney animated movie Mulan will note that the movie didn't have a white man in the lead role. Given the recent uproar that has come from whitewashing in high-profile movies, this would be understandably upsetting. Here are some of the details from the script as described in the blog post.
"The man is a 30-something European trader who initially cares only for the pleasure of women and money. The only reason why he and his entourage decide to help the Chinese Imperial Army is because he sets eyes on Mulan. That's right. Our white savior has come to the aid of Ancient China due to a classic case of Yellow Fever. In this script written by Lauren Hynek and Elizabeth Martin, more than half of its pages are dedicated to this merchant who develops a mutual attraction with Mulan and fights to protect her in the ensuing battles. To top it all off, this man gets the honor of defeating the primary enemy of China, not Mulan. Way to steal a girl's thunder."
It is very well worth noting that The Legend of Mulan script, which was written by Lauren Hynek and Elizabeth Martin, is not necessarily the script that Disney is going to use for their live-action Mulan. They may just use elements of it or go with an entirely different script. Either way, it is easy to understand why the author of this blog post, who remained anonymous, would be irritated. Actor Joel de la Fuente from The Man in the High Castle did corroborate the details from the blog post, saying "I can back you up on what you're saying. I confirm everything you said about that draft."
The original Mulan centered on the title character, voiced by Ming-Na Wen, who disguises herself as a man to take her ailing father's place on the battlefield. With the help of her beloved dragon sidekick Mushu, who was voiced by Eddie Murphy, Mulan becomes a brave warrior who becomes one of her country's most honored heroines. The original Mulan voice cast also included Miguel Ferrer, Harvey Fierstein, June Foray, James Hong, Pat Morita, B.D. Wong and George Takei. It most certainly did not include a bunch of white guys as the central focus.
Recent movies like Doctor Strange and Ghost in the Shell have come under heavy fire from the public over casting white people in roles that were originally intended to be Asian. Things were especially ugly in the case of Ghost in the Shell when it was revealed that some digital effects tests had been done to try and make Scarlett Johansson look more Asian. Even Matt Damon's new monster movie The Great Wall, which features a massive Asian cast and did not give away an Asian role to a white actor, came under fire just for having a white man as the central focus in the movie. It seems very unlikely that Disney would want to walk right into the line of fire with Mulan and go with the version of the script described in this recent blog post.
Mulan earned over $304 million worldwide during its theatrical release in 1998 and has become a fan favorite in the years since. Disney has been doing very well with their live-action remakes of animated classics, with Cinderella and The Jungle Book both dominating the box office, so it makes perfect sense that they would want to give Mulan the live-action treatment as well. Let's just hope they don't go the whitewashing route. Disney's new version of Mulan is set for release on November 9, 2018.

Infantile eczema is a dry skin condition that produces red, itchy patches on your baby's body. It can weep and bleed, especially if it is scratched, which can lead to infection. It normally affects children in the first six months of birth and can stay with them for many years. It ranges from mild to severe and usually runs in the family, especially if there is a history of hay fever or asthma.
In newborn babies, rather than dry and scaly, eczema can be very weepy and usually occurs on their head, most notably their cheeks, scalp and forehead. The skin may also feel rough to the touch an can be mistaken for cradle cap when it is on the scalp.
Thankfully, for most kids, eczema will ease up by the time they are four or five, but they will always have dry skin and may experience flare ups every now and then. Unfortunately, not all kids will grow out of it and some will continue to have it right in adulthood.
Knowing what causes your child's eczema to flare up can make a significant difference to helping stop it. Drooling can irritate the skin around the mouth as well as certain substances, like soaps and washing power. Environmental factors are another source: cigarette smoke, perfumes, air fresheners and dust mites. This is because the skin doesn't have as much oils and fat to be able to create a protective barrier.
Eczema is not curable, but knowing the triggers can help to stop flare ups. For very severe cases you may need to get anti-inflammatory medications or a steroid ointment from the doctor. Try to keep baths short and avoid using products in the water which will irritate the skin. These include perfumed gels and certain bubble baths. Apply moisturiser after to keep the skin soft and never use a rough wash cloth which may open up the skin causing it to become infected.
When it comes to relieving the itch, you should rub rather than scratch and make sure your baby's nails are cut short so they won't accidently cut the skin. Opt for loose fitting clothing to stop it rubbing and keep the house at an even temperature, not too hot or warm – sweat can trigger a flare up.

Beit Lohamei Haghetaot and Genesis Philanthropy Group Bring History of Holocaust in USSR to Israeli Students
E-Jewish Philanthropy
As part of the ongoing efforts by Genesis Philanthropy Group (GPG) and Beit Lohamei Haghetaot – Ghetto Fighters' House Museum...
to establish, preserve and educate future generations on the history of the Holocaust in the former Soviet Union, GPG and Beit Lohamei Haghetaot have initiated numerous activities geared towards the presentation of this aspect of history.
In addition, our efforts are bearing fruit with the launching of a new multi-faceted educational program for Israeli 12th grade high-school students which will incorporate the story of the Holocaust of Soviet Jewry, the memory of the heroism of Jewish fighters against the Nazis and their satellites, as well as individual heroism, and spiritual resistance in all its forms, as an alternative to traditional visits to Holocaust sites in Poland. They shall also delve into the meanings of memory, and engage students in discussions about awareness, activism, and communal involvement.
The six-hour long educational program portraying the Holocaust of Soviet Jewry will be conducted in small groups of about 20 students and tailored to the needs of each participating school in consultation with its educational staff, according to school's goals and students' level of knowledge. The program will include such elements as a presentation lecture/ workshop/introductory film that provides a basic overview of the Holocaust on Soviet territories (as part of WWII), guided tour of the museum's relevant exhibitions, video testimonies of survivors and fighters, the "Bielski Brothers workshop" dedicated to the legendary family of Jewish partisans, a workshop telling of the Righteous Among the Nations, a unique archival workshop focused on stories exemplifying bravery and spiritual resistance during the Holocaust in the FSU, and a "Portable Gaming Workshop" – visual escape room sets, which will use quest room methods for exploring the individual life stories of five inspiring characters that lived on the FSU territories during the Holocaust. For those students unable to attend the activities at the museum, Beit Lohamei Haghetaot will conduct a guided workshop at their schools, centered around the history of the Holocaust in the occupied FSU territories.
Due to the restrictions imposed by the coronavirus pandemic on the traditional visits of Israeli high schoolers to the Holocaust sites at Poland, Beit Lohamei Haghetaot, supported by GPG, shall design an alternative seminar for 11th and 12th graders. The seminar will be three to four days long and will be conducted in the Grantee's museum, Beit Lohamei Haghetaot Kibbutz, and the vicinity. In addition to the educational program, the seminar will include encounters with veterans and Holocaust survivors from the Former Soviet Union, guest speakers, and visits to historical sites around the Western Galilee.
For the wider audience in Israel and abroad, Beit Lohamei Haghetaot shall, for the first time, develop virtual tours of its exhibitions, which at the first stage will cover 3 out of 15 thematic halls and offer a guided online visit with 10-15 discussion stations to broaden the learning experience, augmented by original artwork and video testimonials.
It is estimated that, starting this September, about 5000 students from schools all over Israel will be able to take part in the program during 2020/21 school year.
According to Natalie Shnaiderman, GPG Director of Global Grantmaking: "Telling the story of the tragedy and heroism of the Jews who suffered, fought and died in the desperate struggle for human dignity in the occupied lands of the former Soviet Union completes the history of the Holocaust and Jewish resistance. This project will ensure that future generations of young Israelis will learn and remember this history in all its aspects".

Behind Enemy Lines: Middlesbrough
April 27, 2018 Staff
AFTER Friday night's defeat to Fulham as well as Derby's victory over Cardiff on Tuesday night, the Lions' trip to The Riverside has become even more of a must-win game in the race for the top six.
A win in the late kick-off could move Neil Harris' side back into the play-off positions if Derby fail to win at Villa Park.
Earlier in the season, Millwall beat Boro 2-1 at The Den in another impressive home victory over a multi-million pound side.
Middlesbrough have changed managers since these sides last met, with Garry Monk in charge until December before he was sacked and Tony Pulis took over.
Pulis seems to be getting the best out of his players, in particular Adama Traore who needs to be stopped if the Lions are to have any chance of victory.
What's been your favourite season following your side?
The 2014-15 season was pretty special. The entire season was amazing.
We were the best we'd been in the league for a long, long time. We even beat Manchester City in the FA Cup at the Etihad!
We had so many memorable moments and reaching the play-offs was great. It was just a shame we lost in the final, 2-0 against Norwich City.
Has it been a disappointing season overall for Middlesbrough given they were tipped to be automatic promotion contenders?
Up until two months ago, even one month ago, this was a very poor season – especially looking at how much we spent in the summer (over £40million). However, we have recovered it slightly by forcing our way into play-off contention.
Are you happy with the change in fortunes since Tony Pulis arrived?
I'm a huge fan of Tony Pulis, even the simple things such as the way he comes across in press conferences, he gets the fans and the club.
He's full of praise constantly and knows what he's saying, unlike the robotic Monk. On the pitch it's been much better too.
Muhamed Besic was a class signing, on loan from Everton, and Pulis has got the best out of Traore, from a player we were all writing off to a potential £30/40m player.
If Boro aren't to go up, which sides would you like to see promoted?
Wolves already have, thankfully – they deserve it.
Then I'd go for Fulham and Villa.
Who will be the danger men for the home side on Saturday?
Traore, without a doubt. He's on another level, I've never seen a player like him. Strikers Patrick Bamford and Britt Assombalonga are the other obvious shouts.
Similarly, which Millwall players will you be keeping an eye on?
Honestly, not a clue!
Very ignorant of me not to know much about Millwall. They do strike me as a team rather than having loads of class individuals.
Obviously we're going to expect a physical game. Everyone knows that's what Millwall are about.
What's your predicted starting XI and formation?
Randolph; Shotton, Ayala, Gibson, Friend; Howson, Clayton, Besic; Traore, Bamford, Downing.
Finally, a score prediction?
If we turn up and Traore is on form, I think we'll just about have too much.
I'll go with Middlesbrough 2-0 Millwall.

Kenton West ward councillor Vina Mithani passes away
India Weekly - Tuesday, October 12, 2021.
Submitted by india_weekly.
KENTON West ward councillor (cllr) Vina Mithani, a prominent member of the Conservative Group, passed away on October 7 in London after a prolonged battle with cancer. She was 65 and is survived by her husband Vipin Mithani.
Mithani, who represented Kenton West ward continuously since 2002, was a biomedical scientist by profession. She had been a school governor of Glebe and Priestmead schools. She will also be remembered for her contribution in fields of microbiology and genetics.
Mithani was a resident of Kenton West for more than three decades and also worked in key positions like shadow portfolio holder for public health and vice chair of health and social care scrutiny committee.
A respected figure among the Indian community in Harrow, Mithani was dedicated to serving the residents of Kenton West as well as in the wider borough. She also ensured that people's views were heard and considered.
As a councillor, Mithani took initiatives to improve relations between the local Conservative Party and the community in Kenton. Her connections with people helped her win election as one of the first Indian Conservative councillors on Harrow Council in the early 2000s, along with Manji Kara and Cllr Anjana Patel.
Cllr Paul Osborn, Leader of Harrow Council's Conservative Councillors, recalled his association with Mithani.
"I will really miss Vina; over the years I have been on over 40 visits to temples all across Harrow and Brent with her and Vipin. At Navaratri, I remember her trying to explain how to do the Garba, something, despite her best efforts, I am still terrible at!" he said.
"Vina was a great source of wisdom when it came to scrutinising the health services across Harrow. During the last 18 months her insight into public health has been incredibly useful as the Council and the country has had to deal with the coronavirus pandemic. My thoughts are with Vipin at this difficult time," he added.

Meet The World's Richest YouTuber Of 2017, He Earned £12m By Just Doing This (Photos)
The world's richest YouTuber is a former Tesco worker from Hampshire. Dan Middleton, 26, raked in a staggering £12.3MILLION from his channel in 2017, according to Forbes.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28, 2018 —Marine Corps Reserve Staff Sgt. Richard J. Murphy, killed during World War II, was accounted for on July 25.
On June 15, 1944, Murphy was a member of 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, which landed at Red Beach, Saipan, when American forces participated in the battle for the island of Saipan, part of a larger operation to secure the Mariana Islands. Reports provide little information of what happened to Murphy after landing on Saipan, and he was declared missing in action as of June 15, 1944. On May 22, 1945, his status was amended to killed in action.
Murphy's name is recorded on the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, in Honolulu, along with the others missing from WWII. Although interred as an Unknown in Manila American Cemetery, Murphy's grave was meticulously cared for over the past 70 years by the ABMC. A rosette will be placed next to his name to indicate he has been accounted for.


PUNTA GORDA, Fla. – The Moravian College baseball team defeated nationally-ranked No. 8 Adrian College, 15-8, Tuesday afternoon in the Snowbird Classic. The Greyhounds jumped out to a 13-0 lead through the top half of the sixth while the Bulldogs fought back and scored eight runs in the sixth and seventh inning, but it wasn't enough.
Sophomore pitcher Eric Schmidt would get the start for Adrian. He would get the first two batters to fly out before sophomore outfielder Matt Hanson hit a double down the right field line.

Classmate designated hitter Alex Bull hit a sacrifice fly to right field to score Connell. Roethke and Leon added back-to-back singles to load the bases with one out. Case then reached on a fielder's choice, but Roethke and Savite both scored after a throwing error by the third baseman. Junior second baseman Daniel Seitzinger added a single to right field to score Leon. Hanson then hit a sacrifice fly to right field to score Case for the 8-0 lead.

Hanson reached on an error by the shortstop while driving home Case. After Hanson stole second, Connell drove home Seitzinger with a sacrifice bunt to put Moravian up 15-8.

Season both sides of the chicken legs with salt and pepper. Place the chicken on the grill, skin side down, and cook, adjusting the chicken's position and turning the pieces occasionally, until it appears to be about halfway cooked, about 15 minutes. Then use a basting brush to brush the chicken legs with the barbecue sauce, and continue to cook, turning the pieces frequently and reapplying barbecue sauce each time the chicken is turned, until it is cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160 to 165 degrees, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve the chicken hot or warm.

May 14 Lack of Teacher Diversity Hurts Our Students
The lack of teacher diversity in the Kern High School District hurts all of our students.

Put simply, we cannot succeed as a school district that promotes success for all students until we hire and retain more teachers of color.

The Seventieth Anniversary of a Lake Ontario Tragedy
Ship of the Month No. 70 EUGENE C. ROBERTS
In the October "Ship of the Month" feature which dealt with NISBET GRAMMER, we mentioned that only two units of the fleet of the Eastern Steamship Company Ltd. survive today. How wrong we were! The odd part of it is that we have no idea how we managed to overlook EDWIN T. DOUGLASS which, of course, is still in service as the salvage lighter P.S. BARGE NO. 1, now owned by McAllister Towing and Salvage Ltd., Montreal. Our thanks to Rene Beauchamp for bringing this unforgiveable editorial error to our attention.
Readers may recall that in the December 1971 issue, we presented a history of Kirkwood Steamship Lines of Toronto, which operated a package freight service between Quebec, Montreal, Toronto and Hamilton, as well as a similar service from Toronto and Hamilton to Vancouver via the Panama Canal. We mentioned that the company operated the steamer GREYPOINT which we identified as (Br. 121234), (a) RATHLIN, 252 x 35 x 17, Gross 1128, built in 1905 at Glasgow. We should have spotted the fact that these particulars belonged to a different ship, as the GREYPOINT which ran between Toronto and Montreal was certainly not of full canal size.
Our thanks go to George Ayoub of Ottawa for pointing out that the correct details should read as follows:
GREYPOINT, (a) OLAF WIJK, (b) POLWICK, (c) OLAF WIJK. (C.140427). Steel steamer built 1891 at Stockholm. 195.9 x 28.1 x 14.6, Gross 793, Net 455.

Yes, I know I'm a little late with a March post. Ok, a lot late. But I've been busy social distancing, washing my hands, playing with the cats, streaming BritBox and reading in place. Not that much difference from my real life, truth be told. I was a stay-at-home person even before I was told to stay home. I miss friends and lunch out and even running errands, but I'm high-risk. Thankfully, there's no risk of me running out of anything to read.
My favorite new book is Lily King's witty and hopeful new novel, Writers & Lovers (Grove Atlantic, digital galley), which was the book I didn't know I needed until I read it in one sitting a few weeks ago, and the reread it a couple days back. Casey is a 30ish writer and waitress in Boston, dealing with her grief at her mother's recent death and struggling to finish her first novel. Two men complicate her life's plot. Oscar is an older, well-known writer, a widower with two winsome little boys. Silas is younger, a student of Oscar's, and still improvising his life and work. I went back and forth between the two, but in the end, I rooted for Casey.
Emily St. John Mandel's last novel, Station Eleven, was about a global pandemic and life afterward, and it's another favorite, although perhaps not the best choice for rereading just now. So I read her new novel, The Glass Hotel (Knopf/Doubleday, digital galley) which differs in subject, following several people afloat in the "kingdom of money," but which is also moody and haunted. Both Vincent ad her half-brother Paul work at the isolated Vancouver Island resort of the title, but then go in different directions, he as a troubled video performance artist and she as the trophy wife of the hotel's owner, Jonathan. He's running a giant international Ponzi scheme, which ensnares a number of people, including a couple of characters from Station Eleven, when it collapses. The story of choice and guilt plays with the idea of parallel/alternate lives, and it is full of ghosts. I liked it, but trying to explain why is like grasping at clouds.
Rats! Chris Bohjalian's clever thriller The Red Lotus (Knopf/Doubleday, review hardcover) is full of them, all carrying dread and disease and death. Not a comfort read in these times, but it's tense and diverting, moving between the Vietnamese countryside and a New York research hospital. Alexis is an ER doctor whose boyfriend Austin disappears while they are on a bike vacation in Vietnam. Austin, it turns out, is a first-class liar, and Alexis, wounded and betrayed, is compelled to investigate all the things he never told her. Bohjalian carefully parcels out critical information — about Austin's darts-playing friend Douglas, an unnamed higher-up in cahoots with Douglas, a former Vietnam vet now a private detective, and antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Rats, too.
Louise Erdrich drew on the life of her grandfather in writing The Night Watchman (HarperCollins, digital galley), an involving story set in 1953 on the Turtle Mountain Reservation in rural North Dakota. Thomas Wazhashk, a night watchman at a jewel bearing factory, is also a Chippewa Council member who is fighting against a bill winding its way before Congress that would terminate the rights of Native Americans to their land as spelled out in long-standing treaties. Thomas' activism will reach to Washington, D.C., but it also affects the lives of others, including Patrice Parenteau, a high-school valedictorian and factory worker worried about the disappearance of her older sister Vera in Minneapolis; the boxer Wood Mountain; and white high school teacher and coach Stack Barnes. I vaguely remember studying termination in a college anthropology class — dry, distant facts, nowhere near as fascinating and real as Erdrich's vividly realized novel.
Several ongoing crime series have new entries that offer escapism from the world's woes. Detective and apprentice wizard Peter Grant takes on corporate crime in False Value (DAW, digital galley), the eighth book in the always entertaining Rivers of London series. Here, he goes undercover at the Serious Cybernetics Company to investigate tycoon Terrence Skinner and his connection to a fabled machine built by Ada Lovelace. In Meg Gardiner's third volume in the UNSUB series, In the Dark Corners of the Night (Blackstone, digital galley), FBI behavioral analyst Caitlin Hendrix is trailing the Midnight Man. The serial killer terrorizes family homes in Los Angeles, killing the parents but letting their kids live — at least so far. Deanna Raybourn's high-spirited Victorian mystery, A Murderous Relation (Berkley, digital galley), is the welcome fifth in a clever, sexy series. Victoria Speedwell and Stoker Templeton-Vane team to resolve a royal scandal featuring a certain relative of Veronica's, even as a serial killer stalks London's streets.

Posted in Fiction, Reviews, Thoughts on Books, Uncategorized, Writing and Reading, tagged Alternate Side, Anna Quindlen, Chris Bojalian, Clarissa Goenawan, Fiction, Japan, New York, Rainbirds, The Flight Attendant on March 19, 2018| 2 Comments »
In the fleet The Flight Attendant (Knopf Doubleday, digital galley), Chris Bohjalian puts some polish on that old chestnut of waking up next to a dead body. Flight attendant and binge drinker Cassie Bowden has only vague memories of her one-night stand with first-class passenger and American hedge fund manager Alex Sokoloff. She recalls a business associate of Alex's called Miranda showing up in his Dubai hotel room with more vodka. Then Miranda left and Cassie was going to leave, too, only now Cassie's awake, and Alex is dead beside her with his throat cut. She clears out quickly, not at all sure she didn't kill him with the broken glass she takes with her to discard, and makes her flight to New York, hangover and all. What she doesn't know is that a Russian assassin is already regretting her decision not to kill Cassie and that the hotel security cameras were working. Cue the FBI. It's a great set-up, although Cassie tries to drown her childhood memories and her present predicament with more regret drinking, and her addiction threatens the thrills of the espionage plot. But then Bohjalian pilots the book out of a dive with a couple of quick stunts. Fasten your seatbelts, please.
First-time author Clarissa Goenawan explores love and loss in Rainbirds (Soho Press, purchased hardcover), which mingles mystery with a touch of magical realism. When Japanese grad student Ren Ishida's older sister Keiko is murdered, he travels to the small town where she had been living to collect her ashes. But Ren realizes that most of what he knew of Keiko has to do with his childhood, when she mothered him, and he has little idea of who she became after leaving home. He ends up taking over her teaching job at a prep school and even moves into the room she rented from a wealthy politician and his invalid wife. After he learns details of her stabbing death on a rainy night, he finds the street where it happened and lies down to reimagine her last lonely hours. He has recurring dreams of a pig-tailed girl, tries to help a shoplifting student and can't find the knife he gave to Keiko. He does find her birth control pills. As Ren tries to discover Keiko's secrets and come to terms with his own guilt and grief, he connects with other people — fellow teacher Honda, the politician's silent wife, the troubled student, a former lover. Rainbirds, with its images of goldfish, its memories and dreams, is quiet and disquieting, reminiscent of Haruki Murakami. Haunting.
New Yorker Nora Nolan has what you might call first world problems, although her college-age daughter is quick to note that no one says that anymore. Still, in Anna Quindlen's thoughtful new novel, Alternate Side (Random House, digital galley) Nora, a museum director, and her investment banker husband Chip enjoy the privileges of life in an Upper West Side townhouse on a rare dead-end street. She really doesn't want to live anywhere else. Sure, neighbor George is an officious busybody, and Jack next-door has a terrible temper, but it's a real community with holiday parties, dogs on leashes, a small parking lot for residents of long-standing, and shared handyman Ricky. Then Jack takes a golf club to Ricky's van — and Ricky — in a parking dispute, and the incident winds up in the tabloids with neighbors split as to the rights and wrongs of the situation. Even Nora and Chip disagree, which prompts Nora to take a long look at her marriage and what she wants for the rest of her life. I suppose Alternate Side is a comedy of manners, but only if you think of the human comedy and not the laugh-aloud kind. There's wit and satire, of course, but also probing questions of race and class, privilege and empathy. In her memoir, Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake, Quindlen writes of how we come to understand our lives retrospectively. "The life lessons came not from what we had but from whom we loved, and from the failures perhaps more than the successes."


Bills range from non-cooperation to cutting off water and power to the agency's facilities.
Frustrated with the limited scope of the reforms to the National Security Agency detailed by President Obama on Friday, and the slow pace of Congress in addressing the issue, civil liberties advocates are increasingly taking the privacy fight to state capitols. This month, lawmakers in six states introduced versions of model legislation designed to deny the NSA state resources or cooperation from state officials. The bills cover everything from banning evidence collected by the NSA from being introduced in state courts to shutting off the supply of water and electricity to the agency's in-state data centers.
"If the feds aren't going to address the issue, then it's up to the states to do it," says David Taylor, a GOP member of the Washington state House of Representatives whose Yakima Valley district hosts an NSA listening post. Taylor's bipartisan bill, introduced last week, would cut off "material support, participation or assistance" from the state and its contractors to any federal agency that collects data or metadata on people without a warrant. Practically speaking, it would mean severing ties between the NSA and state law enforcement, blocking state universities from serving as NSA research facilities and recruiting grounds, and cutting off the water and power to the agency's Yakima facility.
Similar bills, some of them less broad, have been floated in California, Oklahoma, Indiana, Missouri and Kansas. Others are expected in coming months in Michigan, Arizona, and Utah. Unlike the symbolic resolutions that oppose the NSA's warrantless spying, which have passed the Pennsylvania House and the California Senate, few, if any, of the more consequential anti-NSA bills are likely to become law. But their existence underscores the depth of grassroots opposition to the agency's dragnet surveillance programs, and the willingness of lawmakers from both parties to take a stand.
The idea of severing state ties with certain federal agencies isn't as far-fetched as it may seem. Last year, California Governor Jerry Brown signed a law that shields illegal immigrants arrested on suspicion of various crimes from being turned over to federal immigration authorities, and another law barring state cooperation with any effort by the feds to detain people indefinitely under the National Defense Authorization Act. Washington State and Colorado, of course, don't cooperate with the Drug Enforcement Administration's efforts to arrest and prosecute growers and users of recreational marijuana.
