Its format is designed to help teachers select appropriate short works of fiction for study and to identify universal experiences as they are variously expressed in that genre throughout the world. The text emphasizes the importance of recognizing national similarities, of distinguishing unique differences, and of realizing that through the study of great literature one can come to understand and respect systems and ideologies different from one's own. The art of the short story, like all art, reflects the values, basic assumptions, problems, ideals, and philosophical, social, and political climates of the world that created it. Certainly, if we are to have world peace in its most comprehensive sense, it has to come with the tolerance, appreciation, and respect founded on an exposure to, and an understanding of, the experiences of others.Ultimately, we can see in the lowest common denominav the universality of humanity's most basic concerns and of the human condition for which each story serves as a basic metaphor. At no time in the history of art has such an enterprise had more crucial consequences. The short stories annotated in this text have been carefully selected to represent the best stories from as many countries as possible, excluding the English-speaking countries, since their stories are frequently anthologized and fully discussed in readily available textbooks. Most of the stories included were thus originally written in languages other than English. Generally, we have listed the translator of the English-language version used in our discussions. If no translator is listed, either none was identified in our English-language source or the story was originally written in English. Although we have selected the finest translations available, we have been forced to recognize their uneven quality, f:specially when there is only one translation available and the translator's knowledge of English is obviously limited. Because all great art combines the universal and the particular specific to an individual culture, we have attempted to identify themes that are universally expressed, especially those regarding the human condition, and to suggest in the biographical sketch and again in the synopsis of the story those aspects that reflect the particular world from which the story originated. Similarly, our discussions attempt to provide a clear idea of the styles as well as the distinctive qualities of various representative writers from around the world. The comparisons that we have suggested for each story offer opportunities to enrich the experience of studying it. In addition to identifying and evaluating the various characteristics of a story, it is useful to develop analytical skills through comparison-contrast study. Teachers and students alike can engage in both critical analysis and interdisciplinary thinking. Ultimately, one can appreciate the value of extensive reading when one realizes that the experience of any story is enhanced by its juxtaposition to another and by its comparison or contrast with works in other genres, the visual arts, film, and xi" 14 TEACHING THE SHORT STORY music. This comparative methodology also demonstrates the universality of particular thematic content or techniques and provides a basis for contrast by which one can see why, how, and to what extent the different milieu, genre, or underlying assumptions account for the particular angle of vision or form of expression manifested in each work. The biographical material we include is designed to provide succinct information regarding the fundamental conditions of life, thought, and various religious, economic, and social experiences that have shaped the literary expression of the author. Particular attention is given to those writers whose biographical data may be limited or difficult to locate. We have organized the text by author and have included several indexes to enable teachers to select stories by title, country, English-language source, thematic and literary similarities, or comparable study with frequently anthologized and readily available literary and artistic works. To make Teaching the Short Story still more helpful to its readers, titles of works annotated in the text are capitalized wherever they appear. Ultimately, Teaching the Short Story is designed to entice teachers to work with the short stories represented here by providing a superior multicultural and comprehensive selection, presenting sufficient biographical background to enrich the stories, and suggesting comparative approaches both to the more familiar short stories of England and North America and to comparable works of art in other genres, all intended to suggest viable and creative avenues by which stories can be made relevant to each student's educational and personal experience. One of the most rewarding experiences in teaching the short story is discovering language with students, the language of symbol and metaphor capable of transmitting the human experience of the writer to the mind of a receptive reader. Selected to reflect the experience of its creator, it is a language capable of eliciting a fresh response from the reader and of making specific experiences in another time and placeor even a worldstand for a universal experience that can be shared with the immediacy and intensity of the original. The means of achieving success in this joint venture we leave to the individual instructor, who, according to the requirements of the world of the story and the abilities of the students, will analyze character, plot, point of view, setting, style, other narrative techMques, imagery, or tone with the primary goal of making students aware of both the universality of the message and the distinctive features and implications of various cultural backgrounds, backgrounds that are at once very different from our own, but at the same time an expression of a human experience that the reader can share. -RHM 15 x iv ANNOTATIONS 16 ABRAHAMS, PETER.

Writing a research paper is a regular academic crafting for a college or university scholar. Sure, for some college students it could be boring and tough to produce, but if you are ready to, you can make it exciting and easygoing. You would request me how? It is easy. Permit's divide your investigation paper crafting into methods, and make each action intriguing alone.Whenever you start undertaking of creating for these papers it is necessary that you know the exact protocols for it. These papers are diploma mla format creator amount papers released to the college students in school for the 1st time. The college students who are freshmen endure the incredibly most type the wrath of expression papers.
So they have to have to talk to around and have an understanding of the requires and genuine undertaking of these crucial papers. Study guiding weblogs, many posts and visit helpful internet websites to grasp the full insight of composing for college or university level paperwork. Go through carefully all the pointers and recommendations in purchase to not danger tailor made time period paper writing. It signifies that, if you go to your local library (or even on-line databases for our extra techno savvy viewers) and can't uncover something on your subject inside 30 minutes, you may possibly want to alter it.Most importantly of all, give yourself the time you will need to produce a profitable thesis. thesis writing normally takes time – a extended, very long time – and the sum of time you put into it will present in the last product or service. Also be confident to leave on your own enough time in the end to evaluation your work and flesh out any weaknesses, and do what you can to fix them.The second most vital idea for succeeding when writing a research paper is that you really should ensure that you don't get powering. Preserving every little thing for the very last minute is a recipe for disaster.

Please add citations! If you know what source you're likely to use to again up your crafting in the define, it's much a lot easier on you when you actually start writing.Next, like in every creating company, you will have to have a proofreader. This is to assure that you have a great bid presentation without having any mistakes. Final on the record of a aspiration tender composing workforce is the fault finder. His job is to make an genuine judgment regarding the complete bidding doc and discover out the areas that need to have revisions.

The grey fleet refers to any vehicles which are used for business travel but do not belong to the company itself. As a result, a grey fleet driver may be someone who uses a vehicle that was purchased via an employee ownership scheme, gets behind the wheel of a privately rented vehicle or simply uses a vehicle that is privately owned by the employee themselves.
Either way, these vehicles will be driven on company business. In this cases, fuel expenses are usually covered or are provided in return for a cash allowance, so the responsibility falls under the employer.
Having grey fleet drivers within a business and the responsiblity that comes with it means that employers have to be aware of The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974. The act underlines that it is the requirement of employers to ensure the health and safety of all employees while at work, so far as is reasonably practicable. The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 also stresses that employers and employees have a responsibility whenever they are engaging in work-related driving activities to ensure they are never putting others at risk.
With regards to the grey fleet scene, the Act means that an employer will have the same legal duty of care to be aware of for grey fleet drivers as they do for anyone who is behind the wheel of a work supplied vehicle. That the business does not own the vehicles doesn't matter – the responsibility still lies with the employers.
If you need to introduce grey fleet into your business but are unsure about how to go about grey fleet management, British charity the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has this online service available which can help. Not only does it help employers to manage all of their legal grey fleet duties, with the system enabling organisations to record details like driving licence validity, insurance details including business use, MOT certification and road tax validity, but once recorded it can alert each relevant individual driver and line manager of dates when any of these items are up for renewal.
According to Lex Autolease's annual Report on Motoring for 2016, it was estimated that there was close to 14 million grey fleet vehicles on the road across the UK. According to a report commissioned by the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA) titled Getting to grips with Grey Fleet, it is suggested that employers across the nation are racking up a bill of around £5.5 billion each year to cover the grey fleet.
Research by the Energy Saving Trust has highlighted that grey fleet vehicles on the road are driven for a total of 12 billion miles a year — emitting 3.5 million tonnes of CO2 in the process.
Figures such as those revealed above has also led to the BVRLA calling for bosses and policymakers to rein in the grey fleet, in that the trade body has set a target for these two parties to achieve a 50 per cent reduction in mileage and costs by 2020.
Vehicle rental services allow employers to present their employees with brand-new vehicles on a flexible basis. Vehicles can be delivered for the company to use for as little as an hour at a time or for a month or more, offering full flexibility to fit the business's needs.
Once an agreement is worked out, employers will be able to receive in-depth management reporting information so that they can monitor usage, as well as keep on top of vehicle emissions and any associated costs.
For those who use vehicles for business travel, a salary sacrifice scheme could be introduced. This would work in that businesses would give employees the chance to relinquish a part of their salary and in return receive the non-cash benefit of a new lease vehicle.
Another way reduce the number of grey fleet vehicles at an organisation is to lower the business mileage threshold to which employees will be eligible to get behind the wheel of a company vehicle.
However, Jon Burdekin, the head of consultancy services at business mobility provider Alphabet, was also keen to point out: "I wouldn't say it is necessarily the most strategic way to manage your grey fleet.

Russia claims credit for Elena Rybakina's Wimbledon title
Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina is embraced by family, friends and coaches in the players box as she celebrates after beating Tunisia's Ons Jabeur to win the final of the women's singles on day thirteen of the Wimbledon tennis championships in London, Saturday, July 9, 2022. (AP Photo/Kirsty Wigglesworth)
WIMBLEDON – The Russian Tennis Federation was quick to claim Elena Rybakina as "our product" on her run to the women's title at Wimbledon.
They then praised her training program in the country after she won the Venus Rosewater Dish as Wimbledon champion while representing Kazakhstan.
"It's the Russian school, after all. She played here with us for a long time, and then in Kazakhstan," Russian Tennis Federation president Shamil Tarpishchev told sports website Championat on Saturday after Rybakina beat Ons Jabeur 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 on Centre Court.
The 23-year-old Rybakina was born on Moscow and played in the Russian system until 2018, when financial issues led to her nationality switch.
There's been no official reaction from the Kremlin on Rybakina's Wimbledon success, but some commentators have claimed her victory as a Russian achievement and a symbolic snub to the All England Club's ban on players representing Russia and Belarus.
Players from those countries were banned from the Wimbledon tournament because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Some Russian state media outlets emphasized Rybakina's roots in Moscow, with others opting to call her simply a "representative of Kazakhstan."
The last Russian woman to win a Grand Slam singles title was Maria Sharapova at the French Open in 2014. Moscow-born Sofia Kenin, who left Russia as a baby and plays for the United States, won the Australian Open in 2020.
Kazakhstan, meanwhile, is ecstatic at having its first Grand Slam singles champion.
"Kazakhstani tennis player Elena Rybakina has achieved a historic victory in the extremely prestigious Wimbledon tournament. I heartily congratulate this outstanding athlete!" President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev wrote on Twitter.
Rybakina's win is the culmination of a long-term plan for tennis in Kazakhstan. The oil and gas-rich Central Asian nation has a long tradition of homegrown success in sports like boxing and cycling but has often relied on recruiting talented tennis players from Russia.
Rybakina, known for the big serve which has brought a tour-leading 253 aces this year, made the switch at 19 when her career stalled because of financial issues. The Kazakhstan Tennis Federation stepped in with an offer — represent them in exchange for the cash needed to support the global lifestyle of a tennis player. Rybakina said this week she feels like she lives on tour rather than in any one place.
When Rybakina — nervous, barely smiling, seemingly not quite sure what she had achieved — climbed into the stands at Centre Court on Saturday to celebrate with her team, she embraced first KTF president Bulat Utemuratov, then Yaroslava Shvedova, the former player who has become her mentor. Shvedova, similarly to Rybakina, was born in Moscow, switched allegiance to Kazakhstan in 2008 and won two Grand Slam doubles titles.
Rybakina's victory also comes at a tense time in relations between Russia and Kazakhstan.
The year began with Russia deploying troops to its Central Asian neighbor to suppress protests which turned violent. The government in Kazakhstan welcomed that move but has been notably reluctant to endorse Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which started the following month. President Tokayev said in front of Putin at a televised conference in St. Petersburg last month that Kazakhstan would not recognize the two Russia-backed separatist governments in eastern Ukraine.
Rybakina has been guarded in her comments on the invasion.
"I just want the war to end as soon as possible. Peace, yeah," she said after her quarterfinal match.
Of the ban on players representing Russia, Rybakina said: "When I heard this, this is not something you want to hear because we are playing sport. Everybody wants to compete. They were not choosing where they born."

BONES: Exclusive Scoop on "The Secret in the Service"
Following on from Thursday's A cappella-themed instalment Bones returns this week with "The Secret in the Service."
The episode sees Booth offering his expertise to the Secret Service when an agent is found murdered on the eve of a presidential visit to the area.
However Booth soon discovers that not only is former colleague Brandt Walker (guest star Michael Gaston) reluctant to accept his assistance, but the killer may just be someone on Walker's own detail. Exposing the murderer and protecting the president's life has never looked so daunting.
We've seen the episode a little early, thanks to our friends at FOX, and have a number of teasers to share with you.
As always, we avoid revealing major plot points and other big spoilers that, let's face it, would probably ruin your enjoyment of the show. As such we consider our article to be "teaserish" rather than "spoilerish" in nature. As always though, we urge you to exercise caution regardless, because it's the internet, and who are these ScreenSpy people anyway?
Take a Look at my Sputum!
Brennan may be out of the lab due to a massive cold this week, but that doesn't mean she's off her game. It's going to take more than a soaring temperature, sore throat, runny nose, and hacking cough to keep Bones away from the Jeffersonian's latest case — much to Booth's alarm.
In fact, Bones is so determined to beat her illness and get back to the investigation that she's willing to try just about any remedy – including the ministrations of a spiritual healer!
Feel better soon, Brennan. And please stop showing people the contents of your used Kleenex.
"The Secret in the Service" episode of BONES airs Thursday May 26 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Singing dogs are the best. I only "sing" when I need to go outside to the bathroom, and my parents tell me that it's actually called "whining" not singing. I'm not sure I know the difference. I do know that I love to watch videos of singing dogs. Some dogs are really talented! Other dogs, I wouldn't necessarily call talented, but they are spirited! In case you don't listen to singing dogs as often as I do, here's seven great singers you should definitely check out.
This video is great for two reasons. First, this pup is a great singer. Second, he's accompanied by his human sibling on the piano. Talk about a talented family!
We're back to another family with musical talent. However, in this household, both the humans and the dogs are singers. This is such a great video. You can tell the duet is an original. These two really feed off of one another. I can't tell who's the better singer though – the baby or the dog?
It's not just children who are wild for the movie Frozen. Dogs love it too! Watch as this singing dog wakes up from his nap as soon as he hears his favorite song. Don't worry, he's alert enough to sing along to the song. Why wasn't there a dog role in this movie? If a sequel ever comes out, I'd suggest writing this dog in.
We saw dogs who sang along to the piano and dogs who even played the piano. This dog loves to sing along to harmonicas. I guess who could call him a dog who loves to sing the blues. Next up for him is learning how to play the harmonica. That would be impressive!
I've heard my humans singing in the shower, but I've never thought about joining in. This dog seems to be doing vocal warm ups with his owner. I don't hear any shower water, so I'm thinking they're just getting in tune here. I wonder what the shower singing would sound like. I'm guessing it would be pretty powerful.
This girl can't stop singing. At first, it seems as if she doesn't really want to start, but once she starts, she just cannot stop! At the time this video was posted, this pup was waiting on some good human to adopt her. I'll bet a director on Broadway scooped her right off her paws.
Don't you just love singing dogs? Let us know which of the seven videos was your favorite in the comments section. If I missed a good video, feel free to share it with me!

On Monday, August 14, 2017 Gwinnnett Technical College began their newest program the Mercedes-Benz College Automotive Program. This two-year program offers students a hands-on approach to learning. Just like Mercedes-Benz dealership workshops, the automotive labs are sleek and sophisticated, with the most technologically advanced tools and systems. Classrooms are equipped with the same parts, tools and vehicles they would see at most Mercedes-Benz dealerships, along with firsthand interaction with Mercedes-Benz technical information systems and program-specific equipment.
Mercedes-Benz USA donated six vehicles, web-based training curriculum and an array of training equipment, including workshop carts, XENTRY Diagnosis equipment and more. The new classroom and lab are professional-level and will allow Gwinnett Tech students to work, first-hand, with some of the most sophisticated, cutting-edge technology in the automotive industry.
Gwinnett Tech students are successful because they are given the opportunity to not just learn in theory, but be seasoned in practice. To further enhance Gwinnett Tech's automotive learning environment, Mercedes-Benz USA has renovated and equipped a customized Mercedes-Benz training classroom and technology laboratory on Gwinnett Tech's Lawrenceville campus.
In addition to students, Mercedes-Benz focuses on faculty, as well. Gwinnett Tech instructors were trained on Mercedes products and have access to tools and resources to enhance student learning. The program allows Gwinnett Tech to use and fully integrate Mercedes-Benz' technical training library to ensure they always have working knowledge of the latest automotive systems.
Mercedes-Benz USA plans to create new jobs as they open their new $100 million headquarters facility in Atlanta, Georgia in 2018. Many of those jobs will require very specialized training. Through Mercedes' strategic planning efforts with the State of Georgia and Quick Start, Gwinnett Technical College was selected by Mercedes-Benz to formulate an educational partnership that will help them elevate their corporate training model to meet the growing needs of their dealerships and customers.
Gwinnett Tech's Automotive Technology program is one of the leading programs in the nation. It is fully accredited by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation in Automotive Service Excellence. It is considered one of the best programs in the country and Gwinnett Tech's automotive technology graduates are highly sought in the marketplace. The College's 99.1% job placement rate speaks volumes about the quality and excellence of the program.

A Daughter's Tribute to Her Father
Posted on January 2, 2014 by Kim Kircher
My father passed away a few days ago due to complications from multiple myeloma.
He was diagnosed just a year ago, and now he's gone. For the past several days, I've been by his side, helping to ease his pain. On Saturday, after the doctors broke the news that there was nothing more to be done, we brought him home.
Even in the midst of tragedy, Dad kept his sense of humor. He said he wanted to finally get that tattoo he'd always wanted but been too chicken. He told me other things too. That he was proud of me. That I had to take care of Mom. That he wasn't scared.
The Huleens 2013
It is quite a thing to watch your father quickly decline, to witness an outpouring of love and admiration from others that he touched, to align your heart with others and wrap that communal love around him as if to protect him and usher him on to the next life.
I had my arms around him as he took his last breath. Mom held one side while I held the other and my brother pressed his hand to Dad's chest. He was surrounded by love. Moments after he passed, the pain on his face was gone. Every wrinkle was erased. He looked as handsome in death as he had in life.
Sun Valley circa 1981
Dad taught me many things. Most importantly, he showed me that I was important. He gave me a sense of purpose that what I do in this world matters. He taught me that life may be short, but we can live well. He taught me to seize every moment, to care deeply for others, to cry openly, to love wholeheartedly, to laugh, to dance, to ski.
I will miss him.
Think this post was awesome? Help spread the word. Share on FB, leave a comment, let me know you were here. Otherwise I'm just a pathetic lady yelling down into a well. Hello! Hello?.

So sorry to hear about your loss Kim – such a terribly difficult time for you all. I'm sure in time you will be able to take much comfort from having had such a unique bond but for now, it must feel unbearable. Much strength and love to you

Beautifully written, touching, poignant. I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my father some years ago, and even though it was expected, my reaction was visceral. The loss of a parent is nothing you can prepare for. How wonderful that you had such a strong bond with your father and he imparted so much love and strength to you. And what a way to go, surrounded with such love. Condolences.
Robyn Lynn on January 2, 2014 at 9:26 am said:
Kim, So sorry to hear this. My partner Neil's father died of multiple myeloma. Sending you and your family love and peace.
Cara Lopez Lee on January 2, 2014 at 11:29 am said:
Kim, your post means more to me than you might expect. Your ability to balance loss with gratitude reflects the experience I've had since my mom died this year. A few people have been thrown off by my equanimity, wondering how I could feel grief without falling apart. I hoped I didn't seem unfeeling: Mom and I simply had a complete relationship. Thanks to you and your inspiring father for reminding me that it is not abnormal but fortunate for grief and peace to go hand-in-hand.

No Time to Die Release Date Set to Be Delayed Again: Reports
No Time to Die — the next James Bond movie — is set to be delayed again. Two different reports claim that Daniel Craig's final turn as 007 will not arrive in early April as scheduled and will see its release date pushed back to November, potentially, or sometime in the autumn season. Naturally, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is to blame. The UK, Bond's home market, is currently in the grips of a third nationwide lockdown, while 65 percent of theatres are closed in the US, the highest-grossing single market for Hollywood movies.
The 42 Most Anticipated Movies of 2021, Including No Time to Die
Dutch publication BN DeStem first brought word of another release date delay for No Time to Die, with exhibitor Carlo Lambregts noting that the Bond film will jump from April to November. Deadline later added to the conversation, with the movie's promotional partners telling the American publication that No Time to Die seems set to be shipped off to late 2021 autumn period. Neither MGM (the film's US distributor) nor Universal Pictures (all international markets) had any comment, per Deadline.
This seems very likely to happen, given Sony Pictures moved its Jared Leto Marvel superhero film Morbius from March to October earlier this week. No Time to Die is only a couple of weeks after (April 2). It will be the third delay for No Time to Die, that was originally slated to release April 2, 2020 in cinemas worldwide. But as COVID-19 swept through the world, MGM and Universal Pictures were one of the first to move the next Bond film, pushing it to November 2020. But the coronavirus hadn't gone anywhere by November, and the studios ended up delaying it to April 2, 2021.
Interestingly, MGM had considered selling No Time to Die to streaming services, but the likes of Netflix and Apple TV+ balked at the $600 million (roughly Rs. 4,390 crores) price tag. James Bond is a revenue cornerstone for MGM which, back in December, reportedly put itself up for sale at a $5 billion (roughly Rs. 36,580 crores) valuation. The most recent entry, Spectre, grossed $880.7 million (roughly Rs. 6,440 crores) at the global box office, and its predecessor, Skyfall, is the highest-grossing Bond film of all time at $1.1 billion (roughly Rs. 8,050 crores).

Detroit Pistons' Frank Jackson (right ankle sprain) out at least 7 to 10 days
Detroit Pistons guard Frank Jackson suffered a lateral sprain in his right ankle during Wednesday's loss to the New York Knicks at Little Caesars Arena and will be re-evaluated in a week to 10 days, the team announced on Thursday.
The injury occurred during the second quarter, when Jackson landed on a Knicks player's foot after contesting a shot at the rim. His ankle rolled, and he had to be helped off of the floor.
DEADLINE DECISIONS:What Pistons must target at deadline, regardless of Jerami Grant's fate
The Pistons, who were already down 12 players due to a COVID-19 outbreak and and injuries, are now even more shorthanded. Saddiq Bey, Hamidou Diallo and Luka Garza are Detroit's only active players from their main roster. Jamorko Pickett, who has a two-way contract, is also healthy.
Cade Cunningham, Killian Hayes, Isaiah Stewart, Saben Lee, Rodney McGruder, Trey Lyles, Cory Joseph and Josh Jackson have all entered health and safety protocols since Dec. 22. Jerami Grant (right thumb surgery), Kelly Olynyk (left knee sprain), Isaiah Livers and Chris Smith (return to competition conditioning), are all sidelined right now.
The Pistons have signed seven G League players to 10-day contracts to fortify their roster. They next play Saturday at home against the Spurs.

Q: async lambda from a synchronous method I am trying to convert a synchronous method with GetAwaiter()GetResult() to an asynchronous method. I have the following code:
private List<MyObject> GetPairsToHandle(SpecificationBuilder specificationBuilder)
{
    using (var context = _contextFactory.Create())
    {
        var toHandleFromDb = GetItemsToHandle().ToList();
        var leadsSet = new Dictionary<int, ProcessingLead>();
        var toHandle = toHandleFromDb
            .Select(o =>
            {
                ProcessingLead lead = null;
                if (o.Item1 != null)
                {
                    if (leadsSet.ContainsKey(o.Item1.ID))
                        lead = leadsSet[o.Item1.ID];
                    else
                    {
                        lead = _entityMapper.Map(o.Item1);
                        leadsSet.Add(o.Item1.ID, lead);
                    }
                }
                ProcessingLeadConsumer consumer = null;
                if (o.Item2 != null)
                {
                    if (lead == null)
                    {
                        consumer = new ProcessingLeadConsumer
                        {
                            Id = o.Item2.Id,
                            CompanyGuid = o.Item2.CompanyGuid
                        };
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        consumer = _companyServiceFactory.Create(lead.Country, lead.Brand).GetCompanyAsync(o.Item2.CompanyGuid).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
                    }
                }
                return new MyObject(lead, consumer);
            })
            .ToList();

        return toHandle;
    }
}

Instead of .GetAwaiter().GetResult() I would want it to run asynchronously. So I changed it to the following:
var toHandle = toHandleFromDb
.Select(async o =>
{
    ProcessingLead lead = null;
    if (o.Item1 != null)
    {
        if (leadsSet.ContainsKey(o.Item1.ID))
            lead = leadsSet[o.Item1.ID];
        else
        {
            lead = _entityMapper.Map(o.Item1);
            leadsSet.Add(o.Item1.ID, lead);
        }
    }
    ProcessingLeadConsumer consumer = null;
    if (o.Item2 != null)
    {
        if (lead == null)
        {
            consumer = new ProcessingLeadConsumer
            {
                Id = o.Item2.Id,
                CompanyGuid = o.Item2.CompanyGuid
            };
        }
        else
        {
            consumer = await _companyServiceFactory.Create(lead.Country, lead.Brand).GetCompanyAsync(o.Item2.CompanyGuid);
        }
    }
    return new MyObject(lead, consumer);
})
.ToList();

Now I have to questions:

*

*How do I convert List<System.Threading.Tasks.Task..  to <List<MyObject

*Is it safe to call an async lamda from a synchronous method? I cannot convert this method to async. What would be the best solution?

Still on Her Toes
She cut quite a rug in her day. Soon Lois Pearson Fagan will help the Orpheum celebrate its 80th anniversary.
She often enters a room with a twirl, executes a mean leg lift, and can bend at the waist and place both palms on the floor. "But don't try that now, Lois," cautions her friend. "It made you dizzy last time" — a warning that prompts a devilish grin from the lithe former dancer.
Lois Pearson Fagan, who will mark her 95th birthday in October, danced on the Orpheum stage in the early 1930s, went on to strut her stuff in Chicago and New Orleans, and married a fellow dancer and singer with whom she toured the country until World War II. On September 13th, Lois will return to the Orpheum as part of its 80th anniversary gala.
Sitting in a meeting room at St. Peter Villa, where she has lived for nearly a year, Lois chats with Lynn Coffman, a church friend who visits her regularly and occasionally prompts her as she reflects on her life, starting with her childhood in Memphis.
Born in 1913, Lois was a big sister to four boys. Their father, a special agent for the Illinois Central railroad, was a typical patriarch of the times, sitting at the head of the dinner table each evening, spanking the children when they needed it. Their mother was a homemaker but sometimes traveled to Washington, D.C., as president of the Women's Christian Temperance Union.
The Pearson family lived on Roland, in the Glenview neighborhood, and Lois attended Rozelle Elementary, Bellevue Jr. High, and Central High School. She took dancing lessons at Rozelle and at Glenview Park, held backyard shows for her father and anyone else who'd watch, and in the summers performed at the Memphis Open Air Theater (MOAT) at Overton Park. She received professional training in jazz, tap, and ballet from Gladys Reeves, whose studio was at Linden and Bellevue. Each year, Reeves took a student to Chicago to expose her to the professional dance world, and the year after Lois graduated, she made the trip.
Upon returning to Memphis, Lois performed in numerous shows at the Orpheum and became friends with a girl whose father could book them at a club in New Orleans. "I heard that and I said, 'Let's go!' recalls a beaming Lois. "We were just tickled to death."
Her parents weren't so tickled. But their 18-year-old daughter took off for a gig at the Puppy House. While there, other dancers told Lois about a fellow — Jack O'Brien Fagan — who sang, danced, and emceed at another Big Easy club. Meanwhile Jack's friends were telling him about Lois, the new girl in town, who already had a boyfriend in Chicago. One night, as Lois was ready to take the stage, Jack walked in and their eyes met. Lois thought, "Oh gracious. I'm going to marry that man. But what am I going to tell Billy Boy?"
Apparently she told him good-bye. Lois and Jack were married in the early 1930s in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, and returned to Memphis to live in the family home. From there, Jack booked their acts in cities around the U.S. and they toured for nearly 10 years. "He was a wonderful tap dancer," says Lois, "and my specialty was toe. It was a real happy time."
Then America entered World War II and Jack joined the army and handled entertainment for the USO. With her husband away, Lois took a job in the furniture department at Goldsmith's. Upon Jack's return, they settled down to life in Memphis, as Lois continued to work and Jack managed restaurants and clubs in the area.
After her husband's death in 1974, Lois stayed active visiting residents of St. Peter Home for Children, judging beauty pageants at the Mid-South Fair, and going on outings with her church, Aldersgate United Methodist. Today, Coffman calls her a "mover and shaker" at St. Peter Villa, where she exercises by walking the halls and helps other residents who aren't as active. She also likes watching Lawrence Welk and Dancing with the Stars . Asked about any aches or pains, she looks at Coffman and says, "Help me be truthful now. Do I have a crank about something?" To which Coffman replies, "Maybe your hip and shoulder some mornings."
Understandably proud of her looks, she keeps a full-length mirror in her room and, Coffman teases her, "Half the time I'm talking to you, you're gazing in that mirror." She can still turn heads, and Coffman tells of an admirer "checking her out" at the grocery store. Discreetly informed of this, Lois responded, "Does he look like he has money?"
The pair have been friends for several years and Coffman treats her to driving tours of downtown Memphis and trips to her old neighborhood. But mainly they talk of her dancing days, of meeting her true love, Jack. Asked if she chased him, she retorts to Coffman, "Absolutely not, he chased me." She also recalls her brother Ralph Pearson, who was an usher at the MOAT and, at their father's urging, looked out for his sister when she performed there.
Ralph, who is 89 and lives in Houston, went on to usher at the Orpheum in 1937 and remembers that after Mae West's performance there, the vaudeville starlet lined up the ushers and gave each one a $5 check. Times were hard, and Ralph didn't know whether to cash it or keep it. "He wishes he'd kept it," says Coffman, "for the money it would bring now."
Looking ahead to her 95th birthday, Lois gives a bemused grin and says, "You know I just can't believe I've lived this long. I got old in such a little while!" She still appreciates each day and will no doubt "show out" at the upcoming celebration, says Coffman. He was with her recently when an Orpheum employee asked, "Mrs. Fagan, can you still throw your leg over the banister?" Before anyone could stop her, she did just that. Says her friend: "She cannot resist a dare."

Suits episode 13 of season 8 was so fun and interesting to watch; before I knew it (or was ready for it) the episode was over! So let's get to it!
Romance seems to be in the air at Zane Specter Litt Wheeler Williams, well at least for a few of our staff anyways!
I wasn't too impressed with this episode, parts tended to drag but other parts when it started to get really good they broke away to something else.
Last week's theme was 'family', this week it was 'friendship'.
A lot was going on in this episode so let's get to it!
"Promises, Promises" will leave you wanting more of Suits. I promise! It did for me anyway!
How do you feel about Samantha Wheeler? Are you #TeamDonna or #TeamWheeler ?
Suits season 7 finale was bittersweet; there were endings and a new beginning.
who really helped Harvey make peace with his mother????So what did you think of episode 712 "Bad Man"?
What are your thoughts on this week's episode?
Do you believe that this is the end of this case? So you think Harvey Brit will last until the end of the season? What are your thoughts on the Sheila and Louis?
So the question is what Mike will do now that he know the whole story? Do you think Harvey did the right thing? IS theropy helping Louis?
Will Harvey find out the scope of Alex's involvement in the prison case? Will Donna be ok now that she knows Harvey is in a relationship?Episode 7 - "Full Disclosure" - premieres on August 23, 2017. Until next week Suitors!
Is Mike doing the right thing or is he messing up again? when Harvey finds out that Mikey has been lying to him about the prison case what will he do? lets us know your thoughts.
So will Harvey let Mike know that the deal has fallen through, what will come of Mike now that Kevin is pissed and Frank is threatening to tell Kevin why Mike is really after.
This season so far is turning to as pages of a wonderful but yet intriguing book, as we reached the second page it opens with Mike staring at the clock, how funny is that metaphorically Mike has nothing but time to look forward.
So eager to see what season 6 has planned for us, I decided to lower my expectation even though I am a Suits fan.

A freelance union?
Labor Union, Redefined, for Freelance Workers
By STEVEN GREENHOUSE
Herding freelancers is a bit like herding cats. Both are notoriously independent.
Nonetheless, Sara Horowitz has figured out a way to bring together tens of thousands of freelancers — Web designers, video editors, writers, dancers and graphic artists — into a thriving organization.
Ms. Horowitz has founded the Freelancers Union, offering members lower-cost health coverage and other benefits that many freelancers often have a hard time getting.
A former labor lawyer, Ms. Horowitz intends to form a forceful advocacy group for freelancers and independent contractors, the most mobile members of an increasingly mobile work force. In addition, she is trying to adapt unions to a world far different from yesteryear, when workers often remained with one employer for two or three decades.
"This really is about a new unionism," she said, "and what it means is to bring people together to solve their problems."
Having signed up 40,000 freelancers from the New York area, she is now planting her group's flag across the nation, hoping to herd far more of the nation's 20 million freelancers and independent contractors into her union.
"These workers are the backbone for so many industries vital to our nation's economy — I.T., financial services, the arts, advertising and publishing," she said. "Yet these same workers are not afforded simple job protections or a social safety net."
By creating a new type of union for nontraditional workers, Ms. Horowitz hopes to help revive the labor movement. Its membership has slipped to just 7.4 percent of the private-sector work force, down from one-third in 1960.
Unlike traditional unions, the Freelancers Union has no intention of bargaining with employers. Still, Ms. Horowitz says her group's main goal is identical to that of all unions — providing mutual aid, in this case health benefits, to their members.
"More and more people are not going to get their benefits from an employer," Ms. Horowitz said. "Our ultimate goal is to update the New Deal. It is to create a new safety net that's connected to the individual as they move from job to job."
Jennifer Lebin joined the Freelancers Union while living in Manhattan after seeing one of its subway ads that say, "Welcome to Middle-Class Poverty." Ms. Lebin, a political consultant, bought the group's health coverage and paid $20 to attend a union-sponsored seminar offering tax advice to consultants and independent contractors.
Ms. Lebin, who has moved to Chicago, expressed disappointment that she could no longer use the union's health plan — doctors in Illinois are not part of the network. "If there is a way that the Freelancers Union could offer the same benefits to members outside the New York area, I'd sign up in a heartbeat," she said.

The Mend Mark Bracelet ... the mark of love. Have You Been Marked?
The mend mark is a distinctive wristband designed with the purpose of resembling one of the five scars that Jesus endured for His people. The band features circular disks that are positioned at each side of the wrist. The intent of these is to simulate one of the holes that was instrumental in killing a King. The purpose of bearing this symbol is to emphasize the importance of that sacrifice and prompt us to never forget the role that it continuously plays in our lives.
Imagine what it would look like if we were consistently reminded of the greatest love expression in history. Be a part of the purpose and in doing so, you will be living for a love that one Man considered worth dying for. He made His mark, now is the time for us to use that example and make our own.

Stanly schools to implement staggered busing for 2019-20
May 15, 2019 David Larson news 0
ALBEMARLE — After difficulty with bus driver hiring and scheduling, Stanly County Schools are moving forward with a plan to stagger pick up and drop off times. This plan, approved by the Stanly Board of Education, would mean pushing back the start time for a number of schools, mostly middle and elementary schools.
At the May 7 BOE meeting, parents and teachers expressed concerns about the impact this plan could have.
During the citizen comment period, the mother of Melissa Zaleski, who owns Melissa Kathleen School of Dance, read a statement from her daughter on how the staggered times would be a hardship on her business because her students "feed from nearly every single school in Stanly County." She believes with students finishing school at different times each day, it would make it difficult to provide for those leaving school later.
"There's no shame in admitting when you're wrong," she finished. "I ask you to reconsider."
An elementary school teacher, who also has three students at Stanly County schools, asked the board to consider looking at the experience of surrounding school systems, like Cabarrus County and Kannapolis, who are going back to earlier start times after experimenting with later times.
Dr. Jeff James, superintendent of Stanly County Schools, responded later that Kannapolis, after moving their late start time back from 3:45 to 3:15 p.m., had to have middle and high school students on the same bus, and many parents weren't happy about that either, so "there's always a tradeoff."
Matt Thomas, the administrator of Parents Against Stanly County Staggered Start Times, said he wanted the board to overturn their decision for the staggered start times and said his group was "543 members strong."
Thomas said, "We believe this could be detrimental to our children, their parents' jobs and some of our local economy."
"I do appreciate those who brought concerns to us, and I want to tell you, no decision in life is not going to have pluses and minuses, no matter what we do," Dr. James said.
James said the main reason they had to consider staggered scheduling is they have 15 open bus driver positions in both morning and afternoon and an addition eight or nine routes just in the morning or afternoon, affecting over 750 kids in all. He encouraged parents to go to the Stanly County Schools website where there is a "ton of information" on the plan.
Two teachers who took a trip to Wake County on a fact-finding mission presented their findings to the board. About 35 percent of elementary schools in Wake have a start time of 8:45 a.m. and the county has been staggering times for 15 years.
The teachers met with three principals from elementary schools who are on the tiered schedule and with key county administrators. Their main takeaway was that the before and after school "enrichment" programs needed very competent, enthusiastic coordinators to run them.
Parents can send their children to school early or have them stay late so their work schedules wouldn't be inconvenienced by the new change. In Wake County, these programs cost families a monthly fee, but in Stanly County they would be free of charge.
"If they can do it in Wake County, we can do it here," one of the teachers concluded.
Now that the fact-finding trip to Wake County is done, Dr. James said "the ball is rolling" and there will be a task force to start implementing plans. A brochure will soon go out to local businesses that could be affected.
The biggest part, according to Dr. James, is making sure the routes are designed efficiently. A consultant was in town at the time of the meeting and was going to meet with the superintendent to begin work on this task.
The change would allow bus drivers to move from part time to full time and to have health and retirement benefits. The board believes this will make the positions more attractive and also require fewer drivers.
