From Cradle to Stage:
Stories from Mothers who Raised Rock Stars
By: Virginia Hanlon Grohl
Published by: Hachette
Format Read: Audio book, Audible
Genre: Nonfiction, Biography, Memoir
Written by Virginia Grohl, the mother of Dave Grohl—former Nirvana drummer and current frontman for the Foo Fighters—From Cradle to Stage shares stories and exclusive photos featuring mothers of rock icons, the icons themselves, and their Behind the Music-style relationships
While the Grohl family had always been musical-the family sang together on long car trips, harmonizing to Motown and David Bowie-Virginia never expected her son to become a musician, let alone a rock star. But when she saw him perform in front of thousands of screaming fans for the first time, she knew that rock stardom was meant to be for her son. And as Virginia watched her son's star rise, she often wondered about the other mothers who raised sons and daughters who became rock stars. Were they as surprised as she was about their children's fame? Did they worry about their children's livelihood and wellbeing in an industry fraught with drugs and other dangers? Did they encourage their children's passions despite the odds against success, or attempt to dissuade them from their grandiose dreams? Do they remind their kids to pack a warm coat when they go on tour?
Virginia decided to seek out other rock star mothers to ask these questions, and so began a two-year odyssey in which she interviewed such women as Verna Griffin, Dr. Dre's mother; Marianne Stipe, Michael Stipe of REM's mother; Janis Winehouse, Amy Winehouse's mother; Patsy Noah, Adam Levine's mother; Donna Haim, mother of the Haim sisters; Hester Diamond, Mike D of The Beastie Boys' mother.
With exclusive family photographs and a foreword by Dave Grohl, From Cradle to Stage will appeal to mothers and rock fans everywhere.
While you may not know who Virginia Hanlon Grohl is by name, you will most likely know her son Dave Grohl, as one of the most influential musicians of the past 30 years. In her book From Cradle to Stage, she takes readers along as she learns about the familial and maternal influences behind some of the most successful musicians. Along with these stories are vignettes about her son, the early years of Nirvana and the Foo Fighters.
I admit that I decided to listen to this audio book specifically to learn more about the lead singer of one of my favourite rock bands; Foo Fighters. I was pleasantly surprised to have enjoyed all the chapters, ranging from those I was familiar with to the ones I had never heard of before.
Chapters I especially found intriguing were that of; Bev Lambert (mom of Miranda Lambert) and Mary Weinrib (mother of Geddy Lee).
Aside from learning about how these musicians got their start, readers and listeners will see the importance of a strong support system behind big dreams. As a mother this only makes me even more eager to help and support my own child to cultivate his strengths and talents.
Virginia Hanlon Grohl also stresses the importance of funding arts programs in schools and how the lack of this education can negatively impact the success of some children.
I highly recommend From Cradle to Stage to music lovers and mothers alike.
Trouble and Strife by Johanne Levesque
January 12, 2022 November 10, 2021 Red House ReviewsLeave a comment
Published by: Austin Macauley Publishers
Sometimes the smallest voices make the deepest impact.
Josephine Hadley, a 1930s Canadian housewife, fills her days looking after her children, her indifferent husband and a stream of Depression-era visitors. Her contribution to her guests is a bowl of stew and an open heart.
Her small world, however, is soon shattered by a tragic event which forces her to become the breadwinner. Can she run a business without sacrificing herself? And is it possible to act on a long-buried desire without remorse?
Johanne Levesque's first novel, Trouble and Strife, is a poignant and heartbreaking look at a woman's life in a fast-changing time. With intimate details and a deft poetic touch, Levesque has captured the spirit of an age where war and economic hardship altered the workplace, home and women's lives forever.
Debut author Johanne Levesque, shares a tale of a Toronto housewife raising her family during the Great Depression.
I had the opportunity of meeting the author at a community event in my hometown, several years ago. Being a historical fiction fan and eager to help support a local talent, I scooped up a copy of Trouble and Strife.
Told in the style of diary entries, this book offers a day-in-the-life glimpse of a women who wasn't accustomed to hardships in her married life and who, even in the depths of the Great Depression, still had more than most. Josephine was a privalaged woman, whose redeeming quality was her charitable work, assisting those hardest hit by the state of the world.
While I was grateful for the opportunity to read and review Trouble and Strife, I did not connect with the characters at all. There were times when I questioned the historical accuracy, found contradictions and inconsistencies in the storyline. Unfortunately in the end I rated this novel only 2 stars and wouldn't recommend it to other readers.
The Winter Sister by Megan Collins
December 15, 2021 December 5, 2021 Red House ReviewsLeave a comment
Narrated by: Rebekkah Ross
Published by: Simon & Schuster Audio
Format Read: Audiobook, Audible
Note: I was sent a copy of Megan Collins The Winter Garden, from the publisher via Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. This is my review of the audio book.
In this spellbinding and suspenseful debut, a young woman haunted by the past returns home to care for her ailing mother and begins to dig deeper into her sister's unsolved murder.
Sixteen years ago, Sylvie's sister Persephone never came home. Out too late with the boyfriend she was forbidden to see, Persephone was missing for three days before her body was found—and years later, her murder remains unsolved.
In the present day, Sylvie returns home to care for her estranged mother, Annie, as she undergoes treatment for cancer. Prone to unexplained "Dark Days" even before Persephone's death, Annie's once-close bond with Sylvie dissolved in the weeks after their loss, making for an uncomfortable reunion all these years later. Worse, Persephone's former boyfriend, Ben, is now a nurse at the cancer center where Annie is being treated. Sylvie's always believed Ben was responsible for the murder—but she carries her own guilt about that night, guilt that traps her in the past while the world goes on around her.
As she navigates the complicated relationship with her mother, Sylvie begins to uncover the secrets that fill their house—and what really happened the night Persephone died. As it turns out, the truth really will set you free, once you can bear to look at it.
The Winter Sister is a mesmerizing portrayal of the complex bond between sisters, between mothers and daughters alike, and forces us to ask ourselves—how well do we really know the people we love most?
Megan Collins debut novel follows a woman who reluctantly returns to her hometown to care for her ailing mother, meanwhile the death of her older sister, years before still haunts and riddles her with grief. Can she get to the bottom of what really happened on that winter night?
The relationships in this book were as cold as its title. The way the characters spoke to each other was terrible and set an uncomfortable tone to all their interactions. The narrator especially did a great job of portraying the mother as a miserable and unfeeling person.
I enjoyed the pacing of this novel and while I did like the mystery, I didn't find it as thrilling or suspenseful as I anticipated.
Although I was able to predict the outcome, it was a good read that I would recommend to fans of the genre.
A Royal Pain (Her Royal Spyness 2) by Rhys Bowen
A Royal Pain
(Her Royal Spyness, 2)
By: Rhys Bowen
Narrated by: Katherine Kellgren
Published by: Berkley
Format Read: Paperback, Audio Book, Audible
Genre: Historical Fiction, Mystery
It's 1930s London, and Lady Georgiana — thirty-fourth in line to the throne — has a lot on her plate, but little in her cupboards, in this national bestseller…
Baked beans and boiled eggs. That's what my houseguest, the Bavarian princess, will have to eat if I don't get help posthaste. The Queen of England has requested I entertain said princess, placing her in the playboy prince's path, in hopes he might finally marry.
But queens never consider money, of which I have little. And which is why I moonlight as a maid-in-disguise. My plans:
1) Clean house in manner of palace.
2) Blackmail brother, Binky, into sending a few quid.
3) Unteach Princess Hanni English from gangster movies — lest she address the queen as "old broad."
4) Keep eye on princess at parties, where she drinks like a fish.
Then there's the matter of the body in the bookshop and Hanni's unwitting involvement with the communist party. It's enough to drive a girl mad…
Rhys Bowen's Her Royal Spyness series follows 34th in line to the British throne; the fictional Lady Georgiana. She may be of royal relation, but like the majority of the world during the 1930's she is struggling to make ends meet and live up to her social standing. In this second installment of the series, Lady Georgiana is tasked by the Queen to host a young Princess from Bavaria, in hope that she will win the heart of the Prince. Tie in a Communist plot, high society and three deaths, then you have A Royal Pain.
I had so much fun reading this novel. The situations Lady Georgiana gets herself in are always entertaining. The addition of an American gangster film loving Princess Hanni was hilarious.
I alternated between reading a paperback and listening to the audiobook. Katherine Kellgren's narration of Lady Georgiana reminded me of Lady Mary Crowley from Downton Abbey, only less snooty and with a better sense of humor.
I highly recommend A Royal Pain and the Royal Spyness series to fans of humorous historical mysteries.

The Lieutenant's Nurse by Sara Ackerman
Published by: Harlequin Audio
Note: I was sent a copy of Sara Ackerman's The Lieutenant's Nurse, from the publisher via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review. However I wasn't able to read the eBook, so this is my review of the Audiobook.
November, 1941. She's never even seen the ocean before, but Eva Cassidy has her reasons for making the crossing to Hawaii, and they run a lot deeper than escaping a harsh Michigan winter. Newly enlisted as an Army Corps nurse, Eva is stunned by the splendor she experiences aboard the steamship SS Lurline; even more so by Lt. Clark Spencer, a man she is drawn to but who clearly has secrets of his own. But Eva's past—and the future she's trying to create—means that she's not free to follow her heart. Clark is a navy intelligence officer, and he warns her that the United States won't be able to hold off joining the war for long, but nothing can prepare them for the surprise attack that will change the world they know.
In the wake of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Eva and her fellow nurses band together for the immense duty of keeping the American wounded alive. And the danger that finds Eva threatens everything she holds dear. Amid the chaos and heartbreak, Eva will have to decide whom to trust and how far she will go to protect those she loves.
Set in the vibrant tropical surroundings of the Pacific, The Lieutenant's Nurse is an evocative, emotional WWII story of love, friendship and the resilient spirit of the heroic nurses of Pearl Harbor.
Army Corps nurse Eva Cassidy is eager to get away from a difficult situation in her home state of Michigan and embarks on a journey to her assigned station in Hawaii. While aboard the S.S. Lurline, she befriends a Lt. Spencer and becomes accidentally privy to some classified information. However, it isn't long after they arrive in paradise that the unimaginable happens; Pearl Harbor is attacked by the Japanese.
I have been looking for a historical fiction set in Pearl Harbor for quite some time. When I read the synopsis for The Lieutenants Nurse, I jumped at the change to add it to my TBR list.
Not only was the island setting absolutely beautiful, but I really enjoyed Eva's trip aboard the steamship as well.
Although I didn't have any particular issued with the narration of this novel, at times my interest in listening to it waned and I found myself wishing I could turn to a physical copy or eBook version to read.
My final impression of The Lieutenants Nurse was that it was interesting and at times fast paced. I would recommend it to those who enjoy historical fiction with romance.


If you were to take your best guess, who would you say was the first person to wear sunglasses? Ray Ban? Foster Grant? Oakley? Good guesses, perhaps, but all pretty far from the mark. It turns out that the earliest wearing of sunglasses started way back in 1430. And who were the kings of cool to be so fashion forward as to bring these must- have accessories into the public domain? Surprisingly, Chinese judges. Apparently, for centuries, these inscrutable masters wore dark colored quartz lenses to conceal their eye expressions in court. How's that for some 15th-century smoke and mirrors?
It wasn't until much later, during the 1930's when the military started experimenting with sunscreens, that sunglasses came to be used for eye protection, and since then most of the society would rather be caught dead than without a pair of sunglasses on a rough day. However, there's more than just the cool factor at play here. Sunglasses are functional as well as fashionable. Read on for some good rules for picking a pair that will serve as well as protect.
Excessive UV light can lead to cataracts, and destroy the retina, which is the lining at the back of your eyes which helps you see clearly. Severe exposure can even cause tissue to grow over the eyeball.
It's not only your eyes that are at risk but the skin around them. Bishop says UV light can cause changes in cells, which can thicken skin surrounding the eyes, and cause discomfort.
When light seeps through your glasses, it is not only annoying, it can be dangerous. A poorly fitting pair of sunglasses can let rays get into your skin and eyes. Optometrist Fraser Horn, OD, says, "I look at something that fits the face well. I don't want it up touching the eyelashes, but I also don't want it pushed way out. And I want something that lines up with your brow." Wraparound sunglasses are ideal for blocking stray UV light, and can also keep out allergens.
These may be a good choice for reducing glare in the snow or at the beach, but they are not a substitute for UV protection. Even though you may be able to see well with them when there is a lot of light, they may make things like smartphones, dashboards, and computer screens more difficult to see.
Just because a lens is dark, it doesn't mean it blocks UV rays. Your pupil controls how much light gets in your eyes. Darkened lenses can actually cause the pupil to open up and let in even more light. If those lenses aren't labeled as effective against UV rays, you may be doing damage to the back of your eyes.
How do you pick your shades? Let us know how you keep your cool while keeping your eyes protected.

A Story of Children and Film.
I was fortunate enough to meet Mark Cousins less than two months ago. We were very grateful to have him visit our University, giving a talk on the art of the video essay. Video essays are becoming a more and more popular form for visually expressing and presenting academic research and discussion. The video essay is still a new and experimental platform for academic work. Mark Cousins is widely viewed as a great pioneer and conqueror of the video essay. A Story of Children and Film, Cousins' latest work which arrived in cinemas on Friday, can perhaps be viewed as a video essay as much as a film. A Story of Children and Film introduces us to a vast number of movies from across the globe and across the history of cinema. At the heart of this film; an exploration of childhood and its depiction in movies – all beautiful and many sadly forgotten.
Cousins has a rare accomplishment to his name; he has succeeded as both a film critic and a film maker. He has an unusual quality which allows him to study cinema whilst also making it. He is a philosophical mind with a truly unique voice. His greatest work is his epic documentary series The Story of Film: An Odyssey – a fifteen part series which explored the history of the cinematic medium. A Story of Children and Film is just as eloquent and equally mesmerising. Cousins uses footage of his niece and nephew playing in front of his camera to form the basis of his explorations. Watching the children play, fight and perform to the camera gives us a basis from which to start questioning what it means to be a child and how we define our childhoods. Along with this footage of the two children playing with a marble run, Cousins also incorporates powerful footage of nature, in all its beauty, captured on his vacations. Together, all three separate elements combine to make something truly unique and blissfully perfect.
It takes many different things to define childhood. Cinema portrays childhood, in all its misery and magic, in countless ways. Mark Cousins uses loneliness, dreams, performance, destruction, adventure and shyness as just some avenues for discussion surrounding children and cinema. From Loach's Kes to Tarkovsky's The Steamroller and the Violin and Ozu's An Inn in Tokyo, we are taken on an intelligent and majestic ride through what is not only a divine study of cinema and children, and their relation to one another, but through some of world cinema's most beautiful and most under-appreciated films. A Story of Children and Film is by far one of the best films I've seen this year. It is truly excellent, truly stunning and truly original. Here's hoping we see more video essays in our cinemas soon. The originality and sheer knowledge Cousin brings to the medium is exceptional. Plus, his soothing narration and the distinctive sound of Cousins' own voice is something I could listen to all day. It is both refreshing and indulgent to experience the work of someone who lives and breathes cinema as Mark Cousins does.

You are here: Home / PATIENT INFORMATION / Popular / Understanding Ovulation and Fertile Period
October 6, 2017 /0 Comments/in Popular, Pregnancy, Women's Health /by Dr Sobia Mohyuddin
Understanding Ovulation
Understanding Ovulation, fertile period and most fertile days in a menstrual cycle greatly improves the chances of getting pregnant. Ovulation is the name of the process that happens usually once in every menstrual cycle when hormone changes trigger an ovary to release an egg. After release, the egg travels down the fallopian tube, where it may be met by a sperm and become fertilized. It is useful to know when ovulation is likely to occur, as a woman is most fertile during this time, and more likely to conceive.
What happens during Menstrual Cycle?
In the first half of the cycle, levels of estrogen start to rise, and makes the lining of the uterus (womb) grow and thicken. At the same time an egg, or ovum, in one of the ovaries starts to mature. At about day 14 of an average 28-day cycle, the egg leaves the ovary. This is called ovulation.
After the egg has left the ovary, it travels through the fallopian tube to the uterus. Hormone levels rise and help prepare the uterine lining for pregnancy. A woman is most likely to get pregnant during the 3 days before or on the day of ovulation. Keep in mind, women with cycles that are shorter or longer than average may ovulate before or after day 14.
A woman becomes pregnant if the egg is fertilized by a man's sperm cell and attaches to the uterine wall. If the egg is not fertilized, it will break apart. Then, hormone levels drop, and the thickened lining of the uterus is shed during the menstrual period.
Phases of ovulation
The ovulation process is defined by a period of elevated hormones during the menstrual cycle. It can be divided into 3 phases:
The periovulatory or follicular phase: A layer of cells around the ovum begins to mucify, or become more like mucus, and expand. The uterus lining begins to thicken.
The ovulatory phase: Enzymes are secreted and form a hole, or stigma. The ovum and its network of cells use the stigma to move into the fallopian tube. This is the period of fertility and usually lasts from 24 to 48 hours.
The postovulatory or luteal phase: LH is secreted. A fertilized egg will be implanted into the womb, while an unfertilized egg slowly stops producing hormones and dissolves within 24 hours.
How do I calculate when I am ovulating?
Most women begin to menstruate between the ages of 10 to 15 years. At the same time, they begin to ovulate and become able to conceive. This is a time referred to as the menarche.
Ovulation typically stops after menopause, between the ages of around 50 to 51 years on average, but it still occurs in the time leading up to menopause. This is referred to as peri-menopause.
A menstrual cycle is defined from the first day of menstrual bleeding (called day 1) of one menstrual period to the first day of menstrual bleeding of the next.
A woman's cycle lasts on average between 28 and 32 days. Some women may have much shorter or much longer cycles.
Release of the egg generally occurs 12 to 16 days before the next period is due.
Ovulation can be calculated by starting with the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) or by calculating 12-16 days from the next expected period.
Most women ovulate anywhere between Day 11 – Day 21 of their cycle, counting from the first day of the LMP.
This is what many refer to as the "fertile time" of a woman's cycle because sexual intercourse during this time increases the chance of pregnancy.
For most women ovulation is likely to happen around the middle of the cycle. However there is lot of variability in length of menstrual cycle among women, and with in cycles in same individual. Even in women with fairly regular cycles the day of ovulation can vary by +- 3 days.
It is important to track your cycle and you may use Ovulation Calculator & Calendar to help identify peak fertile days.
Ovulation Calculator on this web site uses the results from multiple studies and precisely calculates the chances of ovulation on each day of the cycle. It gives you range of days in which you are most likely to ovulate. The chances of ovulation are high in the middle of this range and low near start and end days of this range.
Don't women ovulate on the 14th day after their period starts?
Unfortunately, this is a myth that many, including healthcare professionals, still believe. The "14th-day" thinking appears to come from either taking the average of when all women ovulate or from just dividing the 28-day cycle in half. This is not an accurate way to calculate ovulation because many women do NOT ovulate on the 14th day of their cycle.
The day of ovulation differs from woman to woman and can even be different from month to month for an individual woman. For a woman with a 28-day cycle, the window of ovulation is day 11 through day 21 of your cycle. Ovulation could occur on any one day during this window.
That most of the online ovulation calculators and fertility apps are often wrong or misleading?
Internet is littered with many ovulation tracker or fertility applications. But will you believe that most of these are often wrong or misleading. Here is a simple litmus test. We know that WHO (World Health Organization), recommends the Standard Days Method or SDM as a viable method of contraception having effectiveness of 95% when used correctly. Standard days method is recommended for women who have cycle length between 26 to 32 days. SDM recommends days 8 to 19 of a women's menstrual cycle as fertile period.
Most of the fertility apps determine a woman's fertile window based on the assumption that ovulation happens on 14th day of the cycle and most fertile days are the ovulation date and the five preceding days. So out of total 12 potentially fertile days many couples could be missing critical opportunities for conception each month. For some, the added stress and frustration of months of unsuccessful attempts could be due in part to these false assumptions.
Now if you try our Ovulation Calculator with cycle length of 28 days, it will identify a fertile period of 10 days from day 9 to day 18 of the cycle. To be more accurate there are chances of conception on day 8 and 19 also, which we have intentionally excluded, because on these days the chances of conception are very low about less than 2%. This clearly indicates that our application is much more precise and accurate.
Women who want to use our calculator for getting pregnant can follow the fertility period identified in the results. However, women who want to use it as contraception tool may also add one day on each side in the days to avoid intercourse.
How can ovulation be detected?
There are several indications that a woman is ovulating.
During ovulation, the cervical mucus increases in volume and becomes thicker due to increased estrogen levels. The cervical mucus is sometimes likened to egg whites at a woman's most fertile point.
There may also be a slight increase in body temperature. This is driven by the hormone progesterone, which is secreted when an egg is released. Women are generally most fertile for 2 to 3 days before the temperature reaches its maximum.
A basal thermometer can be used to track the subtle temperature increase. These can be purchased online or at most drug stores.
Some women feel a mild ache or pang of pain in the lower abdomen. This is called Mittelschmerz pain. It may last between a few minutes and a few hours.
Finally, ovulation predictor kits, available from drug stores, can detect the increase in luteinizing hormone (LH) in the urine just before ovulation.
What are most fertile days in menstrual cycle?
An egg can survive in the Fallopian tube for about 24 hours after ovulation. A man's sperm can survive inside a woman's body for about 3 days (and sometimes up to 5 days) after sexual intercourse. You can become pregnant if you have sex anywhere from 5 days before ovulation until 1 day after ovulation. Your chance of pregnancy is highest when live sperm are present in the fallopian tubes when ovulation occurs.
Can I have a period and still not have ovulated?
Having a period does not necessarily mean that ovulation has taken place. Some women may have what is called an anovulatory cycle, (meaning ovulation has not occurred). During an anovulatory cycle, women may experience some bleeding which may appear to be a period, although this is actually not a true period.
This bleeding is caused by either a buildup in the uterine lining that can no longer sustain itself or by a drop in estrogen. The main way to decipher if ovulation is, in fact, taking place is by tracking your basal body temperature.

Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena DOP
Made from the grapes in the hilly area surrounding Modena, Balsamic Vinegar has become a defining product for the area and the region of Emilia Romagna.
After the grapes are meticulously chosen, they are then cooked over open fire and then placed into differing casks, each imbuing the balsamic vinegar with its distinct taste.
Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PDO is a precious, aged vinegar produced in the Emilia Romagna Region. It's obtained from the variety of grapes typically cultivated in the province of Modena, using special quality techniques.
The Protected Designation of Origin (DOP) stamp means that the production chain of this vinegar takes place absolutely within the territories of the Province of Modena, in the Emilia Romagna Region. From the grape harvest to the aging of the product it constitutes not only a productive heritage but also a cultural heritage to be known and explored.
Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena DOP is characterized by a deep and lustrous dark brown color. It has a fragrant, penetrating, and persistent aroma and pleasant acidity. The flavor is well-balanced between sweet and sour.
Interesting FACTS about Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena DOP
Historical testimonies of the production of a vinegar made with grape must are dated back to the first century B.C. (Virgilius, a Roman writer). Several other traces were found in the Middle Age. The first reference to a regulated technique of production of this Vinegar is dated back to 1839.
It must be aged in one of six types of barrels: cherry, mulberry, juniper, oak, ash, or chestnut
Traditional balsamics are graded by the colour of their caps. The 12-year vintage (Affinato) has a red cap; the 15- 20-year vintage (Vecchio) has a silver cap; and the 20–25-year vintage (Extra vecchio) has a gold cap.

Serial, the true crime podcast that first followed the case of Adnan Syed, turned the true crime genre on its head. Not only was the series wildly popular, forcing audiences to debate the merits of the state's case and Syed's guilt, but it completely changed the genre. Today there are hundreds of podcasters dedicated to bringing light to the world's most notorious and sometimes long-forgotten crimes. From cold cases to prosecutorial misconduct, true crime podcasts run the gamut. So, which shows should you be listening to this year?
Happy Face is a podcast that takes on the notorious case of Keith Hunter Jesperson. Through the early 1990s, Jesperson murdered eight women, often traversing the United States, and crossing state lines to go undetected. Jesperson, known as the smiley face killer, also took investigators on a wild ride with letters and taunts. While Jesperson's crimes were horrendous, what makes this podcast genuinely unique is the perspective from which it is told.
Jesperson's daughter, Melissa Moore was just a teenager when she found out her father was leading a double life. The podcast not only explores Jesperson's crimes but the impact they had on his victims and his family, including his children. Moore approaches the story from a place of intimate knowledge, but she never lets that dissuade her from sharing the often-gruesome details of her father's unspeakable crimes. The close connection to the murderer makes this podcast a must-listen.
Happy Face was released in 12 parts between September and December 2018. All 12 episodes are currently available on podcasting apps.
Matthew Shaer, by way of Wondery, attempts to tell the story of Daniel Markel and Wendi Adelson. The show, which premiered on Valentine's Day 2019, follows the murder of Daniel Markel, a lawyer, and law professor. The story has twists and turns and a myriad of surprising elements that will keep listeners on the edge of their seats.
Markel, a lawyer, fell in love with Wendi, also a lawyer. The pair married in a lavish ceremony and began their life together. The cracks, however, did not take long to surface after Markel accepted a tenured teaching position in Tallahassee. Adelson, hating life in Tallahassee, left Daniel and divorce proceedings were initiated. That should be the end of the story, but overbearing families, child custody battles and extra-marital affrais all come into play in this sordid tale.
Shaer does an excellent job of crafting suspense in a story that has more angles than you could ever imagine. The store is told over six parts, with Shaer narrating.Each episode includes interviews and statements from family and friends.
In The Dark, the recipient of a Peabody Award is,an investigative podcast that turns the magnifying glass inward. While each season focuses on an unsolved crime, the host, Madeleine Baran uses her investigative journalism background to take a look at the investigation of each crime. Most recently Baran is tackling the case of Curtis Flowers. Flowers has been tried six times over 21 years for the same crime.
On March 19, we're going to reopen Season 2 with new episodes about Curtis Flowers' case at the Supreme Court.
Flowers has appealed his case repeatedly, but the prosecution continues to try the case. He has appealed, won and been retried six times for a haunting quadruple homicide. Baran attempts to figure out exactly how this happened, and whether or not the investigation actually found the guilty party, or if Flowers was railroaded.
One of the earliest true crime podcasts, Generation Why hosts, Justin and Aaron offer listeners a peek inside some of the most horrendous crimes and conspiracies in history. The format of Generation Why makes it easy for new listeners to pick up quickly, as each episode follows a different case.
Justin and Aaron spend the first half of the show combing through the clues and court documents associated with the case of the week. The second hralf of the show is dedicated to opinions and theories in a talk radio format.
Generation Why, first released in 2012, helped to pioneer the true crime genre. While they never delve into the nitty-gritty of a case due to time constraints, they offer listeners enough information to go out and craft their own theories and opinions. The team has everything from high profile cases such as the disappearance of Maura Murray to crimes that have long since been forgotten.

Q: How to merge as-of for date but left-join for another column? I have the following dataframes:
assets  = pd.DataFrame(columns = ['date','asset'], data = [[datetime.date(2022,10,21),'SPY'],[datetime.date(2022,10,21),'FTSE'], [datetime.date(2022,11,12),'SPY'],[datetime.date(2022,11,12),'FTSE']])
prices  = pd.DataFrame(columns = ['date','asset', 'price'], data = [[datetime.date(2022,10,11),'SPY',10],[datetime.date(2022,10,11),'FTSE',5],[datetime.date(2022,11,8),'SPY',100],[datetime.date(2022,11,8),'FTSE',50]]

for each asset I want to get the as-of price (at the nearest date). How to do so?
If I have only one asset it is easy:
assets_spy = assets#.loc[assets['asset']=='SPY']
prices_spy = prices#.loc[prices['asset']=='SPY']
assets_spy.index = pd.to_datetime(assets_spy['date'])
prices_spy.index = pd.to_datetime(prices_spy['date'])

merged = pd.merge_asof(assets_spy.sort_index(),
                prices_spy.sort_index(),
                direction='nearest',right_index=True,left_index=True)

but if I follow the same logic for multiple assets, it won't match.

A: The function pandas.merge_asof has an optional parameter named by that you can use for matching using a column or list of columns before performing merge operation. Therefore, you could adapt your code like this:

import pandas as pd
import datetime

assets  = pd.DataFrame(columns = ['date', 'asset'],
                       data = [[datetime.date(2022, 10, 21), 'SPY'],
                               [datetime.date(2022, 10, 21), 'FTSE'],
                               [datetime.date(2022, 11, 12), 'SPY'],
                               [datetime.date(2022, 11, 12), 'FTSE']])

prices  = pd.DataFrame(columns = ['date', 'asset', 'price'],
                       data = [[datetime.date(2022, 10, 11), 'SPY', 10],
                               [datetime.date(2022, 10, 11), 'FTSE', 5],
                               [datetime.date(2022, 11, 8), 'SPY', 100],
                               [datetime.date(2022, 11, 8), 'FTSE', 50]])

merged = pd.merge_asof(
    assets.astype({'date': 'datetime64[ns]'}).sort_values('date').convert_dtypes(),
    prices.astype({'date': 'datetime64[ns]'}).sort_values('date').convert_dtypes(),

)

Cleaning Made Easy by CleanHome.ph* | Vanity and Everything in Between.
For the longest time, I have been doing this thing called condo living. From our flat in Hong Kong to out flat here in Manila. If you live alone or if you're working from 8am-5pm, condo living is the way to go because you're almost always not in your home.
L and I decided to live in a condominium first instead of purchasing a house. It's just the two of us anyway and we're hardly home. It worked out fine until we found ourselves worrying on when we should clean our place. I mean, we're busy. On weekends, we prefer to rest.
Then I found out about CleanHome.ph. It's a professional cleaning service for your home.
They are currently offering their services all over the Metro. What's even more fun is that you can schedule the cleaning when you want it. Even on weekends!
There are two options on how you want your condo cleaned: General Cleaning (PhP750 for thorough and focused cleaning for 3 hours) and Quick Clean (PhP350 for quick everyday cleaning for 1.5 hours). I chose the General Cleaning because it's been awhile since the condo was thoroughly cleaned.
Okay, let me warn you now - the photos below are not enticing at all. They show how messy the place was! Pardon the low quality of the photos because I had to use my phone's camera.
Bedroom 1 before it was cleaned.
Bedroom 1 after it was cleaned. The comforters were tucked in the bed. How nice!
Bedroom 2 after it was cleaned.
Wasn't able to take a photo before it was cleaned.
But trust me, it was messy.
Our home cleaner, Allura, vacuumed the rug and wiped the furniture.
Cleaned the floor as well.
She also wanted to clean the window but the screen couldn't be taken out.
Cleaned the tv table and rearranged the PR samples.

Allura was able to finish cleaning the unit after 4 hours. We had our flat cleaned when we came back from a vacation so it was really dirtier and messier than usual. But Allura was so efficient. She even brought cleaning tools with her. She had a vacuum, wipes, and cleaning spray. All she asked from us were dust pan and trash bag.
Allura did general cleaning to our condominium unit. It costs PhP750. While some of you might think this is costly for cleaning services, for me the price is right. I get to schedule when I want my unit to be cleaned. Second, I don't mind paying for the convenience. I'm the type of consumer that pays for convenience. Third, Clean Home's cleaners are trained. We've had stay-in helpers but I don't remember any of them tucking in the comforters in my bed. Also, Allura was into the small details, too. She was even giving us tips on cleaning - like how to get the dirt stuck on the corners of the walls etc. She also had this awesome wipe that made the steel shiny with one wipe!
I was really satisfied with Clean Home's services because we always had a hard time cleaning the condominium unit and we couldn't find a regular home cleaner. Clean Home is really an answered prayer to us! I asked Allura if they are limited to cleaning condo units. She said they could also clean apartments and houses as long as it's within the areas that they clean on.
