Shutterstock August 7, 2014 A few weeks ago a survey by the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed that bullying was the number one concern of young people in Australia.

Cyberbullying is one of the most difficult situations to handle because it often involves more than a single individual harassing someone regularly.
I think people comitting suicide is really sad. To say that cyber bullying creates some stress is a gross understatement. Bullying is defined by perspective, because some may find shaming as bullying, while others find physical abuse as a true form of bullying. Review: Now I have expressed to you what cyberbullying is, what the effects are for the victims, and how to spread awareness. We know little about the mental health outcomes of bullies in childhood, but there are some suggestions that they may also be at slightly increased risk of depression or self-harm, however, less so than victims.

However, always explain further with meaningful information.
If someone was in the position to stop you from being bullied and did nothing how would you feel? People feel that you just deal with it and get over it.

Q: awk not printing expected result from file In the awk below I expected that adding NR==2 would only print check the 2nd line $1 value, the 1 and ensure that it is a number. If it is then print Index is a number else
Index is not a number.  It seems close but the results is not expected... maybe I used the wrong variable?  Thank you :).
file.txt
Index   Chr Start   End Ref Alt Quality Freq    Score   HGMD
1   1   10  100 A   -   GOOD    .002    2   .
2   1   100 1000    -   C   STRAND BIAS .036    10  .
3   5   50  500 AA  T   GOOD    1   5   .

awk
awk -F'\t' 'NR==2 $1 ~ /^[[:digit:]]/ {print "Index is a number"} ELSE {print "Index is not a number"}' file.txt
Index is a number
Index is a number
Index is a number
Index is a number
Index is a number

desired output
Index is a number

A: awk 'NR==2 {print "Index is "($2~/^[0-9]+$/?"":"not ") "a number";exit}' file

*

*If you just want to check line 2, you have to exit after the processing

*If you need other Field Separator, add -F option

A: I think you are looking for something like below,
awk 'BEGIN{FS="\t"} NR==2 { if (match($1,/^[[:digit:]]/)) { print "Index is a number" } else { print "Index is not a number" } }' file
Index is a number

you can of-course extend this to any number of lines by dropping NR==2 or adding NR>1 which allows you to skip header only.

A: Use the following approach:
awk 'NR==2{printf("Index is%s a number\n", ($1~/^[0-9]+$/)? "":" not")}' file.txt

The output:
Index is a number

$1~/^[0-9]+$/ - ensures that the first field is a number

iPhone Customers Report Touch-Screen Dead Spots
Many customers reported bringing the phone back to an Apple store, where in many cases they received a loaner phone at no charge while the broken handset was being repaired.
Apple's iPhone customers have reported dead spots on the handset's touch-screen interface, which is considered the most innovative component of the pricey gadget.
The problem, which appears to have affected only a small number of customers, was reported on the discussion forum of Apple's support site this week. The dead spots were in a variety of locations and occurred irrespective of the software being used.
Many of the customers reported bringing the phone back to an Apple store, where in many cases they received a loaner phone at no charge while the broken handset was being repaired. Apple, according to the reports, was not handing out new phones as replacements.
A minority of customers, however, reported less than satisfactory service at the stores. "I went to the iPhone bar a couple weeks ago, and the guy told me this was just how the screen is, and that it was the length of my nails!!" a Chicago resident who used the name Newtype said.
Another customer reported taking his broken iPhone to an Apple store in Westchester County, N.Y., where a manager denied such a problem existed and refused to waive the $29 fee for a loaner phone. "He denied that he had the discretion to replace the phone or waive the loaner fee. Great product, support not so great," the person who went by the name Tjrubeo said.
Apple was not immediately available for comment on Friday.
The iPhone's unique touch-screen interface is among the innovative features that Apple has used in justifying the high cost of the iPhone, which is as much as $600. Other vendors sell less-expensive smartphones that are also capable of surfing the Web and contain similar software.
An advantage of the iPhone, however, is it sleek design and large screen that displays Web pages pretty much as they appear on a PC. According to recently published patent applications, Apple is working on an interface for "computing devices" that would respond to voice commands.
The initial success of the iPhone, which hit the market June 29, has attracted the attention of lawyers. IPhone-related lawsuits have included one for alleged patent infringement, and another over Apple's decision not to include a user-replaceable battery in the device. Buyers have to ship the phone to Apple to have the battery replaced.

I was up late watching a first class movie, "The Rider" and so got up late. This afternoon, while coloring, I listened to a soundtrack album that is one of the most-listened to of the few soundtrack CDs that I have. This is from the 2004 film, "The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou". The film, directed by Wes Anderson, has an all-star cast of Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Cate Blanchett, Willem Defoe, Jeff Goldblum, Anjelica Huston, Seu Jorge, and Bud Cort. Loosely styled upon the life of oceanographer Jacques Cousteau, with liberal poetic license, it is a work of art and beauty. This includes the soundtrack.
Mark Mothersbaugh, whose name is not a household name for most, is better-known as one of the group Devo ("Crack that whip!"). Mr. Mothersbaugh composed the score for Zissou, as he has for multiple Wes Anderson films. There is a lot going on with the soundtrack.
from wikipedia: The film also features many rock songs from the 1960s-1980s, and several instrumental pieces composed by Sven Libaek for the underwater documentary television series Inner Space. Additionally, the film and soundtrack feature Seu Jorge performing David Bowie songs in Portuguese on the acoustic guitar. Jorge, who also plays the character of Pelé dos Santos, performs some of these cover songs live, in character during the film, mostly with modified lyrics reflecting Jorge's own experiences working on the film. The ending scene depicting the beauty of the shark features the song "Starálfur" by Sigur Rós.

Bangladesh may get $500m more WB fund for vaccine procurement
FHM HUMAYAN KABIR | Published: November 24, 2020 09:59:31 | Updated: November 26, 2020 18:21:27
The World Bank (WB) has assured Bangladesh of providing US$500 million worth of funds for procuring coronavirus vaccine to be to inoculated all citizens gradually, officials said on Monday.
"The WB in a feedback on our request has recently informed us that it is ready to finance the vaccine procurement," said a senior official of the Economic Relations Division (ERD).
The fund is likely to be provided as an additional financing for the WB-funded ongoing "Covid-19 Emergency Response and Pandemic Preparedness Project".
After detecting the first coronavirus patient in late March, the WB in April provided $100 million worth of funds from the aforesaid project which will help detect, manage and treat suspected and confirmed Covid-19 cases.
Additional Secretary of ERD Shahabuddin Patwary told the FE that the WB had recently responded positively and agreed to bankroll the anti-Covid vaccine procurement for Bangladesh.
Earlier, he said, they requested the WB to extend financial support for purchasing the vaccine, to be procured after its availability in the international market.
"As Bangladesh is one of the victims of coronavirus, we need foreign funds to procure the vaccines from the international market," Mr Patwary added.
According to public health experts, Bangladesh is now experiencing the second wave of Covid-19 pandemic as its infection rate has been increasing since early this month.
The number of daily cases was as below as some 1,100 last month which has now increased to more than 2,000.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh has sought US$1.50 billion worth of funds from three development partners -- the WB, the Asian Development Bank and Japan -- for procuring coronavirus vaccine.
The government has estimated some US$1.5 billion funds to be required for procuring the Covid-19 vaccine.
The Ministry of Finance (MoF) has recently estimated that Bangladesh would require $1.0 to $1.5 billion worth of funds for vaccinating the country's 165 million people at free of cost, they said.
The ministry requested the ERD to look for the funds from different multilateral and bilateral development partners.
The WB has recently announced $12 billion worth of funds for supporting its member countries for Covid vaccine. Out of the funds, $6.0 billion would be provided from its soft window - IDA -- for IDA-eligible countries including Bangladesh.
Mr Patwary said they expected to receive the $500 million funds from the WB during the April-May period this year.
"Soon after getting the fund, we would go for procuring the vaccine from the international market," he added.
The Bangladesh government has already contacted some renowned vaccine producers including Serum Institute of India, BioNTeck of Germany, Oxford University in the UK, and the Chinese government for getting the vaccine soon after its development.
According to different initiatives across the globe, it was assuming that there was a possibility of developing Covid-19 vaccine in early next year in the world.
Many countries and companies including USA, UK, China, Germany, India, Russia and Bangladesh are working to develop the vaccine against Covid-19. Some of them have already started the trial on human bodies.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) in its "Fair allocation mechanism for Covid-19 vaccine through the COVAX facility" proposal said 20 per cent priority group of the total population will get the vaccine in the first phase.
Among the priority groups, the health staff and other frontline workers, population beyond 65 years of age, people with co-morbidity are on the list of first priority in 20 per cent vaccination trajectory.
Then the remaining 80 per cent of the total population would get the vaccine at free of cost in the second round.
According to the MoF, it would require nearly $390 to $500 million worth of funds in the first phase to vaccinate 35 million people who are on the priority list.
In the second phase, the country will need another $500 million to $1.0 billion worth of funds for inoculating the remaining people in the country.
A health ministry official said the government was considering vaccination to all the people of the country at free of cost.
According to the official, they would require the allocation of the entire $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion funds in the current fiscal year (FY) 2021 and in next FY2022.
The price of per unit vaccine is yet to be fixed as those are not developed by any companies in the world yet.

Fr. Stan Kolasa will present his talks twice each day; 12:00 noon and repeated at 7:00 PM. Confessions will be heard starting at 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM on each day. The noon session will include the celebration of Holy Mass.


Your school may choose to allow students to view their schedule, make requests, and even schedule themselves for appointments. To give the students access and permission to self schedule here is what you need to do.
1)Logged in as an Admin, go to Settings -> Manage Students - From there click the button that says Welcome. You will be taken to a page where you can send a welcome email to the students. The email is similar to the email sent to staffers. It includes the URL, username and password for the students account.
2) By welcoming the students they now have access to see their schedule and to make requests to see specific teachers. But they can't self schedule.
3) To give the students self scheduling permissions to go Settings -> Manage Students - Click the advanced button, this will take you to a page with two boxes. The first box allows you to set self schedule permission for all students or by specific graduation years. Once you set this permission the students will now have permission to schedule into a session IF the staffer has available seats and IF the student has availability.
Just as a staff member can overwrite a student's appointment, sometimes a student can be enabled to overwrite an appointment. If the student has been previously scheduled by a staffer, the student cannot overwrite their appointment without additional permissions granted. There are a few ways to do this for different scenarios.
1. A student can be enabled to overwrite a teacher's appointment, if that teacher selects a checkbox that says 'Student Can Overwrite' beneath the appointment type drop-down menu on the scheduling page. Doing so will enable a student to overwrite that specific appointment.
3. You can also give individual students permissions to overwrite appointments. Go to Settings -> Manage Students. Find the student you would like to enable to overwrite appointments. Select the student. Scroll down, and just before the 'Save' button you will see a series of check boxes. Select 'Can Override Appointments' so set this permission, and click 'Save'.


With a motorcycle and motor history dating back to the 1950s, Yamaha had been producing street-legal bikes for decades when it released the Yamaha 224 Tri-Moto in 1984. Though no longer manufactured, this bike had three rugged wheels and retailed for about $1,799 in 1984.
The 1984 Yamaha 225 Tri-Moto came equipped with a four-stroke, air-cooled engine with a displacement of 223 cc, a bore and stroke of 2.76 inches by 2.28 inches, and a compression ratio of 8.8-to-one. It had a max torque of 12.2 feet-pounds at 5,500 rpm. It also featured a five-speed automatic transmission, a Mikuni VM24 carburetor, and an electric starting system with recoil backup.
Drum brakes came standard on the front of the 1984 225, with enclosed disk brakes in the rear. The bike also featured a telescopic fork front suspension and a mono shock rear suspension system. The front wheel and rear wheels were all 22 by 11 by 8 inches in size.
With a length of 71.1 inches and a width of 40.2 inches, the Yamaha 225 had a dry weight of 317 lbs. It also had a height of 28.3 inches, a ground clearance of 8.1 inches, and a wheelbase of 45.3 inches. The gas tank could hold 2.38 gallons of fuel and the oil tank could hold 1.6 quarts.

Crewe pensioners demand Cheshire East councillors declare business mileage rates
SOUTH Cheshire pensioners are calling on Cheshire East's 82 councillors to publicly declare how much they will be charging for business mileage.
The call comes after Cheshire East refused to cut its mileage rate for councillors to the 45p a mile recommended by the tax office.
Instead they reduced the rate from 65p to 52p a mile if councillors drive cars with an engine size above 1,000cc.
Those below 1,000cc can claim 46.9p.
All councillors though have been given the option of claiming the HMRC-recommended rate of 45p – Labour's 16 councillors have already vowed to do this.
Now Hugh Emerson, secretary of the Crewe branch of the Northern Pensioners' Association, says all 82 councillors should tell Cheshire East residents how much they are claiming per mile.
"They should all declare how much they are claiming and what cars they run," said Mr Emerson.
He said it was scandalous if councillors were claiming above the recommended rate at the same time as increasing the cost of the blue badge for disabled drivers.
This week Cheshire East put up the cost of the blue badge from £2 to £10 – a hike of nearly 500%.
Cheshire East has come under increasing criticism for its expenses policy after it was revealed that it spent £1.1m in the first three months of 2010 on travel expenses for councillors and staff.
Staff rates have also been cut to 52p and 46.9p depending on engine size.
The Tory-led council's refusal to slash mileage rates to the same as that claimed by most people working in the private sector came just weeks after the Conservatives announced a serious budget deficit and declared cuts might have to be made to services in Cheshire East.

Bukhara is one of the most ancient cities in Central Asia, located in the delta of the Zeravshan River, in the centre of the Bukhara Oasis. It is a museum town boasting more than 140 architectural monuments of the medieval period, which are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The new Mercure Bukhara Old Town is located in the heart of Bukhara's Old Town, on Samarkand Street, surrounded by numerous iconic sights and architectural gems of the city. The premium location of the hotel highlights Mercure's brand promise to introduce guests to the local culture and immerse them in the destination.

The interior of the hotel with its perimeter structure, a courtyard and a tall iwan, resembles the architecture of unique buildings of the 16th-19th centuries.

The main restaurant Saffron, located on the top floor of the hotel, offers guests a daily balanced buffet breakfast. Throughout the day, guests can order here the dishes of Uzbek national cuisine – such as pilaf, chorba, basma, joshpara, samsa and more.

"On a Linux/Unix system, everything is a file; if something is not a file, it is a process."
There are special files that are more than just files (like named pipes and sockets), but in general saying that everything is a file in Linux is acceptable. Linux does not distinguish between files and directories, and programs, texts, services and images are also files. Even input and output devices are considered to be files.
When you attempt to manage all the files, it is easier to think of the Linux file system as a tree-like structure, with branches. The files are the leaves of the tree. This is also a generalization, which we can explore later.
Most files in Linux are just files, which we call regular files. The contain normal information such as text, program, input/output from a program or images.
While it is reasonably safe to consider that everything you encounter on Linux is a regular file, there are some exceptions.
Directories - files that are lists of other files.
Special files - the mechanism which is used for input and output. Most special files are in the /dev directory.
Links - a link is a method to allow a file or directory to be visible in more than one part of the file tree.
(Domain) sockets - a special file type that is similar to TCP/IP sockets and that provide inter-process networking, protected by the file system's access control.
Named pipes - work like sockets and form a method for inter-process communication without using network socket semantics.
For example, if you are not the owner of a file, but are a member of the users group, and the file permissions are 'r-x', then you have permission to read or execute the file, but you cannot write to it.
The Linux basic filesystem structure is based on the original UNIX filesystem structure. It divides up the various files into a coherent structure.
The root directory is the base of the Linux filesystem. All files and directories are under the root directory. The root user is the only user that has write permission for this directory. This is not the root user's home directory. /root is the root user's home directory.
The /bin directory contains executable files (binaries and scripts) that all users can execute. Common Linux command-line commands are located in this directory. Examples are ls, pwd, grep, cp.
Like the /bin directory, the /sbin contains executable files (binaries and scripts). However, the files in this directory can only be executed by a system system administrator, such as the root user. Examples of system binaries include iptables, reboot and fdisk.
The configuration files directory contains the configuration files that are required by all Linux programs. It also contains start up and shut down shell scripts that are used to start and stop individual programs.
The device files directory contains files for the physical devices hooked up to your computer. These include terminal devices, usb, mass storage or any other device attached to the system.
The process information directory is a pseudo directory that contains information about running processes. It is a virtual filesystem with text information about system resources.
The variable files directory contains files that are expected to grow with use. Files such as system log files, packages and database files, emails, print queues, lock files and temp files that are needed across reboots.
The temporary files directory contains temporary files that are created by the system and the users. All files under this directory are deleted whenever the system is rebooted.
The user programs directory contains executable programs, libraries, documentation and source code for second level programs. If you can't find a particular program in /bin then look under /usr/bin. The /usr/sbin directory contains executable files for system administrators. If you can't find a program under /sbin then look for it in /usr/sbin. Libraries for programs in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin are in /usr/lib. User programs installed from source are put in /usr/local.
The home directory contains a sub-directory for each user that has a login to the system. The sub-directory is the same name as the user, and it contains all of the user's personal files.
The boot loader directory contains files relating to the process of booting Linux into operation. Files such as the kernel, initrd, vmlinux and grub are located in the boot directory.
The system libraries directory contains libraries for the programs located in the /bin and /sbin directories. The file names will contain either 'ld' or 'lib' and usually have '.so' in the name.
The optional add-on applications directory contains extra and third party software. The additional software will be installed in sub-directories of the /opt directory.
The mount directory is used by system administrators to temporarily mount filesystems. It doesn't see much use in modern Linux systems.
The removable media devices directory is used to temporarily mount removable devices, such as memory sticks, CD-ROMS and floppy drives. You may also see connections to digital cameras and tablets in this directory.
The service data directory contains data relating to specific services. For instance, if you are using CVS, there will be data in /srv/cvs concerning CVS usage.


Making mistakes is part of any restaurant owner's journey. In fact, making the occasional mistake can be a valuable learning experience, teaching us something important about how our business operates, or how to train our staff, or how to bring in the right customers.
However, when you're operating a business on tight margins, in an industry with a statistically high failure rate, you want to make as few mistakes as possible. With that in mind, here are 3 of the most common marketing slip-ups that restaurant owners make.
One of the most common misconceptions about marketing a restaurant is thinking that you don't need marketing.
No matter how amazing your food, how beautiful your space, or how attentive your staff may be, if people don't know you exist, they're not going to walk in your door. And while word-of-mouth is definitely helpful, it will not, by itself, bring hordes of hungry customers to your tables.
Marketing is important for any restaurant, no matter how innovative and hip it may be, or how well-known the brand is. Consider this: the biggest, most successful restaurant chains in America put major resources into marketing themselves when they open a new location. Given that reality, independent restaurants and smaller chains have to invest in marketing if they want to grow their businesses sustainably.
You know your business inside and out – but that doesn't always mean you know which menu items are really your highest profit-earners, or how the weather really affects your sales.
If you're relying on your own and your staff's observations to make all your decisions, you're missing a vital piece of the puzzle.
So often, we hear from our customers that the data is telling them something completely unexpected. Maybe they thought that their biggest seller was a pasta dish, when it was actually a chicken dish. Maybe they thought one employee was their highest performer, when it turned out to be someone they'd overlooked.
By incorporating data analytics software into your business operations, you'll be able to get a true picture of your customers, your menu, your staff, and your business as a whole. With that hard information to rely on, you'll be able to move toward success much more quickly.
It's easy to come up with ideas for coupons, promotions, or ad campaigns on the fly, then set them into motion without considering how they'll fit into a holistic marketing plan.
However, marketing this way won't allow you to reap the greatest possible benefits. Instead of setting out with a documented plan you can take action on, you'll end up in a reactionary mode – and that's not very effective when it comes to getting the word out about your restaurant.
Even though it takes up time, and a good deal of effort, it's vital to create a documented marketing plan that you and your staff can use as a guide.
It should have some level of flexibility built in, since you want to be able to pivot if things aren't working as you planned, but knowing what steps you're taking and how they all fit together will allow to be much more effective than creating one promotion here, a social media post there, and buying social ads now and then.
Marketing your business is absolutely necessary if you want it to succeed, but doing so doesn't have to be a guessing game. Data analytics software like Marketing Vitals can help you discover exactly what's working, what isn't, and how to fix it.

How to create a great online course?
Creating a great online course: art or science? At first, creating an online course may seem difficult but with some experience you understand that you just need to know a few good practices and above all to adapt to your learners. As for good classroom-based courses, the secret is to always take a learner's point of view and ask yourself: "Would I like to be a student in my course?" A learner wants to discover new interesting things easily. Therefore, two criteria define a great online course: user-friendliness and good content.
Make an outstanding complete overview: The overview is essential because it is the first page the potential student will see from your course and it will convince him or not to enroll into your online course. So catch the attention of the learner from the very beginning by providing them as many incentives as possible to hit the "Enroll" button. How? Clearly describe what the course is about, its outline, learning objectives and outcomes as well as the teaching method. Also provide an up-to-date biography of yourself and tell about your relevant background and story. Finally, an introductory video to the course could really make it stand out, above all if you are good at video making!
Keep the organization simple: Create a different section for each new idea. Try to keep your sections short and to-the-point by only including relevant content. Remember, you want your learner to follow easily your reasoning.
Clearly identify the goal of each section: One section should have one unique goal and this one should be clearly defined. It enables you to create a well-organized course and clearly set the expectations for the learner.
Provide attractive content: Don't only offer plain text to your learners, it is not appealing! Instead, always add images, infographics, videos, slides, quotations, etc. that make your online course more living, less boring for the learner.
Address your learners directly: A great online course must be modern and lively. Speak directly to your learner and take him with you to a learning journey. A good way to do that is to build your online course like a story. You can also use the forum and conduct webinars to connect better with your audience. The more interactive you course is, the more the learners will stick to it over time. So create a real learning community around your course.
Link to other web resources, opinions of experts, etc. These links will increase the value of your online course and provide a good basis for the learner to look further than it.
Help the learner test his newly-acquired knowledge efficiently: Put some effort into designing interesting and even challenging tasks.
During all the process of your course's creation and when you are running the course, ask yourself the simple question: "Would you like to be a student of your course?" If the answer is definitely yes, you must be on the right track, but don't forget to ask its opinion to the audience you are targeting as well.
On Eliademy, it is easy to create an online course in minutes, this way we let you focus on the content and you let us deal with the technical details! Easy!

False Claims Act, Whistleblower protection, workplace harassment
A whistleblower's surreptitious tape recording constitutes a "protected activity" under the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 ("ERA"), under certain circumstances.
That was the ruling of the U.S. Department of Labor's Administrative Review Board ("ARB") on September 28, 2015 after reviewing a lower court's decision in Franchini v. Argonne National Laboratory.
ARB reversed the earlier decision of the Office of Administrative Law Judges (OALJ), and ordered the nuclear whistleblower case to proceed to an evidentiary hearing on the merits.
Complainant Felipe Franchini was hired in 2000 by Argonne, a company owned by the Department of Energy ("DOE") where he worked in the High Energy Physics Division. In 2007, Franchini brought several safety issues to both Argonne management and DOE, including concerns about possible radiation contamination in the facility. According to the company, they followed up on minor safety concerns, and conducted an investigation that did not confirm Francini's concerns about radiation.
Workplace harassment began shortly after filing the first complaint
In September 2007, Franchini filed a formal written complaint with the company. Shortly after filing his reports, Franchini was issued a written reprimand for the first time in his career with the company.
Franchini again reported safety issues in a March 2008 email to the DOE and an April 16, 2008 formal complaint to the DOE. On April 23, 2008, Franchini telephoned the DOE to report elevated levels of radiation detected in his work facility due to improper storage of radioactive materials. In this call, Franchini claimed he was being exposed to depleted uranium as a result of the improper storage practices. According to the company, its subsequent investigation refuted his radiation exposure claim.
Throughout the period of his employment, Franchini made approximately 50 recordings of conversations with coworkers and management personnel at Argonne. Some of these conversations involved Franchini's work-place safety concerns, and only three of the tapes were made with the knowledge or consent of those involved.
On June 6th 2008 Franchini met with Argonne management to discuss alleged insubordination related to sick leave policies. At that meeting, Argonne asked Franchini if he had recorded any conversations and Franchini confirmed he had made recordings as early as 2004. In the same meeting, Franchini also told Argonne he had taken "numerous pictures of equipment and other items [he] felt related to safety concerns at the Laboratory." (Franchini said he had anticipated he might need the recordings and photographs as evidence should he have to seek resolution of problems he had identified "outside the Lab.")
According to Argonne, at the June 6th meeting, Franchini agreed to give them his tapes. According to Franchini, on Monday, June 9th, upon returning to work, he placed the copies of a portion of his recordings, along with a cover letter stating that he needed additional time to copy the balance of the audio tapes in his possession, in an interoffice envelope addressed to Darryl Howe, Argonne's Employee Relations Manager.
After placing the tapes in the interoffice envelope, Franchini then went on extended sick leave on June 9, 2008.
According to Argonne, neither Hendrick (Harry) Weerts, the HEP Division Director nor Darryl Howe received Franchini's tapes. On June 13, Weerts sent a written memorandum to Franchini via Federal Express, which Franchini received, informing him that Argonne had not received the tapes, and directing him to bring all recordings to Darryl Howe "when you return to work" from sick leave.
Over the next few months, Franchini remained on sick leave. During this time, he made a number of written communications including filing a supplemental letter of complaint of safety concerns with DOE's Argonne Site Office, to the attention of Ron Lutha, DOE's Site Director.
On October 3, 2008, Weerts sent Franchini a written directive by Federal Express instructing Franchini to immediately return his tape recordings, video recordings and pictures. Weerts warned that failure to provide Argonne with the requested materials by October 8th "will be cause for corrective action, including release from Laboratory employment."
Weerts's letter was delivered via Federal Express to Franchini's home on October 6th, but not signed for by Franchini as having been received. The FedEx tracking record indicates that the FedEx package was sent with signature receipt waived. Franchini claims he never received Weerts letter, and that the last written communication he had received from Argonne had been on June 13, 2008.
On October 10, Franchini received a letter of termination from Argonne, citing his insubordination for failing to return the recordings to Argonne.
Workplace recordings are "Protected Activity" when related to the whistleblower's reported concerns
The ARB held that that "even if Franchini's refusal to turn over his tapes was a true reason, this conclusion does not rule out protected activity as a contributing factor in the termination of his employment." The ARB also held that Franchini engaged in protected activity when creating his record of photographs and recordings, because the recordings involved the workplace safety concerns he had reported and the record was made in anticipation of Franchini having to report his safety concerns outside of his employer.
The ARB further noted that – far from being insubordinate for not returning the requested recordings – the evidence indicates that, based on the last communication he received from Argonne on the subject, Franchini was being scrupulous in avoiding any action that would constitute grounds for again charging him with insubordination.
The ARB also held that, even if an employee agrees to perform an action under the threat of termination—in this case, the turning over the tapes— and later fails to do so, an employer does not automatically have the right to terminate the employee on the basis of the employee's inaction.
Our take: Recordings and photographs can be powerful evidence to support a whistleblower report of a substantive violation or employer retaliation subsequent to an employee reporting violations. The ARB's determination that covert recordings are protected activity under the ERA's whistleblower retaliation provision is good news for government whistleblowers.

I'm like a clean slate - I have't done anything to speak of in years, so I've lost some of what I thought was essential to me... maybe because 40's hit and I actually appreciate comfort more than I did when I was younger... If I have to choose, I'd say I'm Libertarian. If I have to choose between the two major parties, probably say Republican these days. But I don't have to, so I vote as an Independent. Haven't delved into tonnes new music in too long, which is my passion. A few that come to mind are Glass Animals, A Perfect Circle, Flume, Chet Faker, Beta Band/Steve Mason, Lil'**** has a couple that crack me up, old Doughty... I don't know - I want to know more, but kind of in the old school way where you can digest it, process it, own it up, and ID it in a line-up - not the constant streaming of nameless artists you have to always look up when someone asks you what you're listening to. There's a lot of good that can come from that, don't get me wrong, but I'm trying to stay away from fast food, fast fashion, and fast art. Also, if Country Music is important to you, we probably won't blend. Hoping to find other nutrition fledglings who are OK with finding things to do other than get together and consume. OK, maybe fledgling is a little extreme, new to what you now know is what you definitely want to do for your body?.. I feel best when eating "McDougall Style" (as embarrassing as it is to say) it's vegan, so if we can kill time helping each other grow (without being social media image driven), I'm in! I'm afraid to say too much - not a fan of chameleons.
Artist, mountian biker, hiker and weight lifter looking for another veggie eater to explore, have fun and see if we hit it off for something more.
is a 37 year old, Christian / Protestant male.
I've been a vegetarian all my life. Right now I'm really seeking some detox in my life in all aspects. Diet wise, I am playing with being part raw vegan, part paleo vegetarian. I haven't used soap or shampoo in months and am phasing out household cleaners too. I need more exercise. I want to explore more of what my beautiful surroundings have to offer and am feeling a great need for a tribe, so to speak, as well as simple friendship and platonic intimacy. I am a mother to a 1 year old and it has been a delight and a whilrwind at the same time. I want to create my own reality and have inspiring people around me. I'm interested in homesteading, natural living, off grid living, raw foods, creating anything with my hands, appreciating the outdoors, elevating myself, hobbits, and assorted nerdy stuff.

Throwback Thursday- Elizabeth (1998)
Biopics, especially those revolving around those that are no longer with us are tricky. The movie has to be entertaining, but it also has to be truthful to the history and to the person who is the subject of the biopic.
In 1998, Elizabeth, the biopic of Elizabeth I of England was released. Born in 1533, no one expected Elizabeth to one day become Queen Of England. Her father, Henry VIII, had her mother, Anne Boleyn, executed so he could marry wife number three, Jane Seymour. The film focuses on Elizabeth's early years on the throne and the bumpy path she would have to travel to become the beloved and respected Queen that we know her today to be.
Cate Blanchett is one the best performers of her generation for good reason. Elizabeth is one of her earliest introductions to the American film audience. Her performance is nuanced, powerful and human.
I absolutely recommend it.

Throwback Thursday- Superhero Double Feature- Spider-man (2002) & Ghost Rider 2007)
Every ten to fifteen years or so, Hollywood dips into its vault and releases new adaptations of films or television shows that have long since left the big or small screen. The superhero genre is no different.
In this post, I'm going to talk about two 2000's superhero movies and why they either worked or didn't work.
The first movie is Spider-man (2002). Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) is your average academically overachieving, socially underachieving high school student. He has a crush on Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst), the girl next door. But she does not see him. When Peter is bitten by a genetically modified spider, he becomes Spiderman and must learn the lesson that every Spiderman fan knows: "with great power, comes great responsibility". Can Peter, with his new power, find the man who killed his uncle and prevent an eccentric billionaire from terrorizing the city?
I'm not normally a fan of the genre, but I liked this movie. Every character is well cast and fits well into the Spiderman universe. Unlike his superhero brothers in arms (Batman, Superman, etc), Spiderman is the boy next door/average Joe/underdog. He does not have the fortune that Bruce Wayne has, nor does he have the extraterrestrial powers that Superman possesses. Rather, he uses his intelligence to fight and create the persona that is Spiderman.
The second movie is Ghost Rider (2007).
When Johnny Blaze (Nicolas Cage) finds out that his father is dying from cancer, he makes a deal to save his father. Johnny will give up his soul to prevent his father from dying. The deal is soon made with Mephistopheles and broken when his father dies in a motorcycle accident. Heartbroken, Johnny walks away from everything and everyone, including his girlfriend, Roxanne (Eva Mendes). Years pass and Johnny becomes a famous motorcyclist. He runs into Roxanne, who works as a TV reporter. But Mephistopheles is not done with Johnny. If Johnny is willing to become the "Ghost Rider" and defeat Mephistopheles's evil son Blackheart (Wes Bentley), then Johnny will be free of the contract he signed years ago.
What can I say about this movie? It's not good. Nicolas Cage has not made a decent movie in years. The poster, especially the depiction of Ghost Rider carrying who the audience might perceive to be an unconscious Roxanne is not taken from any specific scene. Riding on the coattails of its fellow superhero movies, this film and its sequel (which is just as bad) just does nothing for me as a filmgoer.
Do I recommend them? Yes and no. I do recommend Spiderman, but not Ghost Rider

Irish tomatoes are best during the season from May to September. Look for tomatoes that are brightly coloured, with smooth skin and without obvious bruising. If you are buying tomatoes on the vine, the ones that have fallen off the vine are usually riper and should be eaten first, while the ones still on the vine will keep for longer.
Store in the open air, not in the fridge: the flavour and texture of the tomato deteriorate at temperatures below 15ºC.
Freeze tomatoes for up to 6 months but ideally consume within 4 months as the texture will change over time.
Tomatoes are actually a fruit not a vegetable but they are in the same family as the potato.

The announcement comes after activist investor Nelson Peltz joined the board in March following a vigorous proxy battle. Peltz had previously pushed for a simplified structure, saying it would improve accountability, agility and responsiveness to local needs.
The company announced the news at its annual investor meeting Thursday in Cincinnati.
Like all consumer behemoths, the maker of Gillette razors and Pamper's diapers has had to contend with smaller, more nimble rivals like subscription razor club Harry's.
As part of P&G's new business structure, the company will now have six sector business units organized by industry. Each business will have a unit "CEO" responsible for running all major decisions, like marketing, costs and supply chain.
The units will expand across P&G's largest markets, like the U.S., Canada, China and Japan, which comprise roughly 80 percent of its sales. The remaining markets will have their own business unit.
P&G last month reported its biggest quarterly sales gain in five years, with a number of brands, including Gillette, delivering strong performance.

FYI: If you buy something through a link in our posts we may get a small share of the sale.
Holiday gatherings are the perfect time to share a drink with friends and family.
Here is a collection of some of my favorite winter-appropriate cocktails. They range from low-ABV options like the dry and bubbly Expat and the rich and bitter-sweet Bitter Giuseppe to citrusy shaken drinks like the Perfect Pear to rich spirit-forward stirred drinks like the Walnut Old Fashioned.
If you're looking for an impressive punch that's great to share with a crowd, it's tough to beat the Clarified English Milk Punch, which has a wonderful silky mouthfeel despite it's crystal-clear appearance and citrusy rum flavor.
If you want something warm, the Spanish Coffee with a caramelized sugar rim is a great option, and there's also the classic Irish Coffee for brunch or dessert comfort.
And, yes, there's a recipe for eggnog in here.
If you're making drinks for a crowd, it's smart to batch them ahead of time instead of making each one to order.
An easy hack for batching cocktails is switching ounces to cups to make eight servings, and adding about 1/2 to 1 cup of water and a generous amount of ice. (Don't skimp on water and ice, they're crucial to balancing the drinks in a batch which would normally be chilled and diluted by shaking or stirring individually.)

Here is a collection of some of my favorite drinks for winter gatherings with friends and family. You can make most of these in a big batch ahead of time (be sure to add water and plenty of ice to replicate the dilution that normally happens when shaking or stirring a drink), but don't juice your citrus more than a couple of days in advance because the flavor dulls significantly.
Vieux Carré
The Vieux Carré spirit-forward New Orleanian take on the Manhattan. It's a richer, more complex drink than classic the Manhattan. The base is split between rye whiskey and cognac, and in addition to sweet vermouth there is a splash of Benedictine and dashes of Peychaud's and Angostura bitters. This drink is especially nice with Pierre Ferrand cognac and Carpano Antica sweet vermouth (though some people think the vanilla notes in Carpano Antica are too overpowering and prefer a more straightforward sweet vermouth like Cocchi Vermouth di Torino). It's often garnished with a lemon twist. I usually skip that, but feel free to add it if you like.
The French 75 is a classic cocktail with Champagne, simple syrup, lemon juice, and gin or cognac (it's pictured here with gin). Proportions on the drink vary, so feel free to adjust to your liking.
Some bartenders prefer to serve it over ice in a collins glass. (If you swap in seltzer in place of the Champagne you basically have a Tom Collins.)
I prefer it served up (without ice) in the more elegant Champagne flute, but the choice is yours.
If you don't have simple syrup, you can dissolve a teaspoon of sugar with the lemon juice before making the rest of the drink.
Bitter Giuseppe
This low-alcohol cocktail was originally developed by Stephen Cole at Chicago's Violet Hour. It is on the bitter side of the spectrum, but it's not an exceptionally bitter drink. It's herbaceous and complex. The bitter Cynar gets held in check by the sweetness from the vermouth and the sour from the lemon juice. Sanders calls for Carpano Antica sweet vermouth, but lately I've been making it with Cocchi Vermouth di Torino. I think Vya sweet vermouth would also be lovely here. For the orange bitters, I recommend Regan's Orange Bitters No. 6 or Angostura Orange Bitters over Fee Brothers (if you have some other less common orange bitters you like, feel free to use those).
Clarified English Milk Punch
Clarified milk punch is different from more common creamy milk drinks like eggnog. This is an English milk punch where the milk is curdled with citrus and strained to make a clear drink with a silky mouthfeel. I like to use a mix of rums here--a white rum, an aged dark rum, and a bit of Smith & Cross—but you can use a white rum or an aged dark rum for all of the rums in this recipe (Smith & Cross is too assertive to use on its own here). Don't break the bank on a cognac for this. And note that the Batavia Arrack is significantly mellowed in the clarification process. This is a drink that goes down easy. Please use whole milk here. Alternative non-dairy milks won't produce the same results.
Brooklyn Cocktail
This classic cocktail dates back to the turn of the 20th century. It's a less-sweet variation on the famous Manhattan. The original version calls for Amer Picon, which is as of this writing is still unavailable in the U.S. and, regardless of availability, the modern stuff is very different from the original formula. There are plenty of potential substitutions, and if I were running a bar I would probably make a house version of Amer Picon, but my favorite workaround for home is simply the widely available Ramazzotti amaro and orange bitters. The proportions here are slightly different from the classic, but I like the balance.
The Expat Cocktail
This drink is a twist on the classic Americano. Here Gran Classico and Carpano Dry are used in place of Campari and sweet vermouth. It's dry and bitter and bubbly. A nice light drink!
Sazerac Cocktail
The Sazerac is a classic New Orleans drink that was originally made with cognac, but is now typically made with rye whiskey. It's a bracing, spirit-forward drink for people who really love the taste of rye. It's a rinse of absinthe (you can also use Herbsaint), a mix of rye, simple syrup, and Peychaud's bitters, and a twist of lemon peel expressed over the glass. I like to use rich simple syrup here which is a 2:1 mix of sugar and water because it adds a little body to the drink. If you're a fan of cognac, you might try using half cognac and half rye for a nice, split-base variation. I like to use a rye on the lower-proof side (80-90) rather than one in the 100-proof range for the right balance in this one. (If all you have is a high proof whiskey, consider stirring it for a few more seconds to add some dilution to tame the heat.)
Aperol Sour Cocktail
This drink is tart, light, and refreshing. It makes a great pre-dinner or brunch drink. Aperol is an Italian amaro that's similar to Campari, but much milder with notes of bitter orange, rhubarb, and herbs. Use any gin you like here. You could even leave the gin out entirely for an even lower alcohol drink. As I've mentioned before, my favorite kind of shaker is the two-piece metal kind, and I swear by a citrus squeezer for juicing lemons and limes.
Irish coffee is the classic cocktail with hot coffee, Irish whiskey, and a float of gently whipped cream on the top.
You can adjust the amount of sugar from 1 1/2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon, depending on how sweet you like your drink, but don't eliminate it entirely. It helps make the drink dense enough to prevent the cream from sinking.
While I won't tell anyone if you make this with bourbon or rye, if you want the classic experience, use an Irish whiskey here.
You can whip the cream ahead of time by pouring some into a mason jar, closing it tightly, and shaking for a few minutes.
The Rusty Nail is simple, two-ingredient cocktail with blended Scotch and Drambuie. Drambuie is a Scotch-based honey-herb liqueur that's quite sweet on its own.
Traditionally, the was made with equal parts Scotch and Drambuie, but most people find that too sweet these days.
My preference is for the 2 ounces Scotch and 1/2 ounce Drambuie listed here, but if you tend to prefer drinks on the sweeter side, up the Drambuie to 3/4 ounce.
Use a good blended Scotch here, like Monkey Shoulder, Johnnie Walker Black, or Dewar's 12 Year. (This isn't a good place for a single malt like Laphroaig 10.)
Small Batch Eggnog
This eggnog recipe is perfect for when you want just a few servings. Morgenthaler says it serves two, but I'd say it easily serves four. It can easily be scaled up if you want to make it for a slightly larger crowd. I like to make this using a stick blender so I can blend it in the same jar I store it in for easier cleanup, but you can use a regular blender here too. I use brandy and bourbon here, but you could use any combination of brandy, bourbon or rum. This recipe uses raw eggs, which means there's a small risk of salmonella. I'm comfortable with that risk, but I wouldn't serve even a booze-free version to pregnant women or people with compromised immune systems, just to be safe. Do use freshly grated nutmeg here. It makes such a difference.
Aperol and Elderflower Margarita
This margarita replaces the traditional triple sec with a combination of bitter Aperol and floral elderflower. You can use your favorite elderflower liqueur, such as St. Germaine here. I tend to keep the less-expensive but still delicious St. Elder on hand for these purposes. I like to use a combination of kosher salt and sumac to coat the rim, and I prefer to coat only half the rim to allow for the option of sips with no salt. The sumac adds some visual interest and a subtle sour flavor, but is totally optional if you don't have it on hand. This drink has a bitter edge to it, which is how I prefer my drinks. If you like your drinks on the sweeter side, use 3/4 ounce of both the Aperol and the elderflower liqueur.
The Martinez
This cocktail is a regular one around these parts. It is a spirit-forward drink that's perfectly balanced. Old Tom gin is making a comeback for a good reason. It's sweeter and more full-bodied than the popular London dry style gins like Beefeater. This isn't a place for Plymouth or Bombay Sapphire. I recommend Ransom Old Tom gin, an Oregon gin that is aged in pinot noir barrels, but I've had the drink made with Hayman's Old Tom gin and enjoyed it that way as well. (Michigan's Journeyman Distillery's Bilberry Black Hearts Barrel Aged gin is not technically an Old Tom style, but the barrel-aging makes it work well in a drink like this.) Use any sweet vermouth you like. A big-flavored vermouth like Carpano Antica or Vya is especially lovely in this drink.
Boulevardier
The Boulevardier is a variation on the Negroni with whiskey in place of gin (or alternately could be thought of a Manhattan with half of the sweet vermouth swapped out for Campari). It's a rich, bracing, spirit-forward cocktail. The original recipe called for equal parts whiskey, Campari, and sweet vermouth, and I still have a soft spot for that version, but most modern bartenders up the whiskey. This can be made with bourbon or rye (I prefer rye) and the sweet vermouth of your choice. Carpano Antica is always a good option, though my favorite version is made with Punt e Mes, a sweet vermouth with a bitter component for added complexity. You can express orange peel over the drink if you like. (I'm usually too lazy to bother with it for this one, but that's just me.) There is no clear favorite for glassware on this one. It can be served in a coupe or a rocks glass or anything in between. Also, while I don't call for it here, this drink is sometimes served over ice. Feel free to do so if you prefer.
The Popinjay
This cocktail with Cynar, Cognac, and Punt e Mes, is a riff on a Boulevardier, which itself is a riff on a classic Negroni. The herbal, bitter Cynar gets tamed by the rich Cognac and the sweetness of the Punt e Mes. It's a simple equal-parts cocktail for fans of amari. I like to use Maison Rouge VS for an easy to find, reasonably priced mixing Cognac (there are plenty of better sipping Cognacs but they get pricey).
This is a fruity, citrusy, sweet-tart cocktail that tastes like fresh pears. It's a lovely and elegant drink for fall happy hours and gatherings. Meehan calls for Clear Creek Pear Brandy, which is excellent and is what I used here, but I've made it with other pear brandies and have been equally pleased with the results.
The Kingston Club
This tiki drink is fruity but not too sweet. The sweetness of the pineapple is balanced with the sour of the lime juice and the herbal notes from the Fernet Branca. To make fresh pineapple juice without a juicer, you can puree pineapple chunks in a blender and then strain out the pulp with a fine mesh strainer. For squeezing limes, this is my weapon of choice. I prefer shaking drinks in a two-piece metal shaker, which is so much easier to open than the three-piece cobbler shakers you may be more familiar with.
Spanish coffee is a cocktail that originated in Portland, Oregon in the 1970s at Huber's Cafe. It remains popular in the Pacific Northwest, but hasn't spread far beyond that, which is a shame, because it's both delicious and fun to make. My version is adapted from Jeffrey Morgenthaler's excellent Bar Book. You need to make sure you have a tempered glass with a stem to hold onto (a standard wine glass should be fine, but no rocks glasses unless you also have fireproof bionic hands). You need a 151-proof rum (also called overproof rum) which you set on fire and use to caramelize the sugar around the rim of the glass. Morgenthaler moistens the rim of the glass with a lime wedge, but I typically just use water because I don't think the lime flavor comes through and I find it more convenient. You can use any coffee liqueur you like. Morgenthaler uses Kahlua, which is probably the sweetest of the widely available coffee liqueurs, but I think the drink also works well with Tia Maria and coffee liqueurs from smaller producers.
This is a great spirit forward winter cocktail. Calvados is also known as apple brandy, and nocino is a walnut liqueur.
This Mezcal Mule is a variation on the classic Moscow Mule, which is traditionally made with vodka. I love the smoky quality mezcal brings to the combination of ginger ale and lime, but you could certainly use another spirit here (honestly anything from gin to whiskey to rum will be good here) if you like. If you're interested in trying mezcal, Del Maguey Vida is a good affordable brand. Use any ginger ale or ginger beer you like (I'm a fan of Fever Tree, Fentiman's, and Q). Or, if you've made my homemade ginger syrup, use 1 1/2 ounces ginger syrup and 3 ounces of soda water. Please use fresh-squeezed lime juice and not the bottled stuff here. The mint is pretty and smells nice, but it's totally optional.
The Revolver
I learned about this bourbon cocktail in Jeffrey Morgenthaler's excellent Bar Book. It comes from San Franciso bartender Jon Santer's time at Bourbon & Branch. It's a spirit forward cocktail for bourbon fans with subtle notes of coffee liqueur and garnished the oil from a flamed orange peel (which might be my favorite way to garnish a drink).
The Toronto
This riff on the Old Fashioned is made with Canadian whiskey or rye, but I think it's better with rye. I like Old Overholt, which is pictured here, and is a reasonably priced old standby when it comes to rye, but this would be a nice place to show off a higher end rye if you have it. There are other Fernets out there, but I've only ever made this with the classic Fernet-Branca. If you want to get fancy, you can garnish this with a flamed orange twist.
Dusk on the Prairie
This drink is a pretty one featuring Prairie Organic Gin, sweet-tart grapefruit, orange liqueur, bubbles, and a layer of deep red Angostura bitters over the top. A light, bubbly, citrusy drink with some warm baking spice flavor from the bitters.

Flintstones, the Modern Stone Age Family Is Getting the Adult Reboot Of Our Dreams!
By Tanzim Pardiwalla 6 days, 5 hours
Classic cartoon series, no matter how obscure will always have returning fans, forever eager for their favourite titles to be revived. This holds especially true for all the cartoon series that aired on Cartoon Network. There isn't a kid from the 90s who had access to a TV set and didn't know of the channel or had not heard of The Flintstones. The Hanna Barbara show which originally aired between 1960 1966 went on to be immortalised as an essential animated series to watch in the 90s. What if we told you that the show is making a comeback?
You probably will squeal and we suggest you go ahead and do it right now because The Flintstones is officially getting a reboot. Warner Bros. Animation is teaming up with Elizabeth Banks' Brownstone Production for an all-new The Flintstones series. As per reports in Variety, the show that had over 150 episodes during its run-time will have quite a few changes. It's going to be an adult comedy this time around, featuring the same characters from the classic cartoon series. The reboot will be animated, so fans needn't lose sleep over dreading a live-action gone wrong.
SEE ALSO: 90s Kids, This Dystopian Version of Scooby-Doo Will Ruin Your Childhood!
The Flintstones revolved around a family, Fred, Wilma, Pebbles, their pet Dino and their neighbours, the Rubbles- Barney, Betty and Bamm-Bamm. The upcoming reboot which is still in its development phase will have the same premise turned into a brand new comedy for adults. This should be very interesting!
If you watched The Flintstones as a kid (or as an adult, we don't judge), you know that it inherently comes with nostalgia and childhood memories. But, the modern stone age family was stuck in time in more than one way. We've seen The Filntstones in crossovers like the time when The Jetsons were accidentally dropped into the past. There have been live-action adaptations and a live-action TV show based on the characters was to go on floors back in 2011 but, it didn't materialise. The upcoming reboot offers what's left wanting.
Adult cartoons are very popular currently. We have witnessed the mass viewership for Rick and Morty and Bojack Horseman that have a loyal fanbase over the past few years. Having a classic cartoon channel the humour of our times will literally be the best thing for returning fans. The Flintstones reboot doesn't have a channel affiliation yet. Elizabeth Banks and Brownstone Productions signed the deal recently and we're just as thrilled to bits as Dino here:

I think I have a decent mix in there: some YA, some adult, a graphic novel, a middle grade, a contemporary, but TONS of sci-fi/fantasy per the usual.
I've got The Storyspinner checked out from the library. I'm very excited for that one. And Ink and Bone! I've only read a couple of Rachel Caine's books, and this one sounds really good, too.
Ooh, I can't wait to see your thoughts on The Storyspinner! I read a few Morganville Vampires books years ago, but nothing from Rachel Caine since. I love the sound of Ink and Bone!
Just a quick follow-up - I'm 50-some pages into The Storyspinner, and it's excellent so far. I really don't see how this could go wrong!
I have heard that The Storyspinner is amazing! That is the only one that I have heard of from this list, but I hope that you enjoy all these once you read them! Hope you get over your cold soon!
Haha, thanks Em! You and me both. Colds tend to kill my brain and result in much couch-potato-ing and less reading, so I really hope this one leaves fast.
I'm excited for Ink and Bone as well! I have Hidden Huntress, but I haven't read it yet. The Storyspinner was great though!
I'm glad to hear one book on the TBR should be good! Gives me something to look forward to. :) And thank you! I very much hope this is a short-lived cold.
I really loved The Storyspinner, Kel! It's a fun fantasy with great characters. :) I can't wait for Hidden Huntress, and I hope to hear good things about Ink and Bone!

Houston Chronicle (US), November 1, 2011
The Matrix gets the symphony treatment
by Everett Evans
Neo, Trinity and Morpheus are back - and this time, they've brought a symphony orchestra with them. The Matrix, the groundbreaking 1999 sci-fi blockbuster, returns as The Matrix Live Thursday at Jones Hall. The Houston Symphony will perform the film's score, conducted by its composer Don Davis, while the movie shows on a giant screen above the stage.
Brothers Andy and Larry Wachowski wrote and directed the saga in which computer hacker Neo (Keanu Reeves) discovers he is living in an illusory world run by machines that have enslaved humanity. Winner of four Oscars including those for editing and visual effects, The Matrix is famous for such innovations as the "bullet-time" effect - the digitally enhanced slow-motion shot with the camera encircling its subject.
Besides film scores, Davis also composes chamber and orchestral works. His first opera, Rio de Sangre, premiered at Milwaukee's Florentine Opera Company last year. Considered avant-garde for movie music, his Matrix score shows influences of John Adams and Witold Lutoslawski.
Davis spoke with the Chronicle Monday.
Q: How do the rewards of movie work compare to your other composing?
A: The great advantage of scoring movies is that a much wider audience is exposed to your music - whereas even the most successful composers of opera or concert music have a limited audience. Having said that, the thrill of having my opera performed last year was something singular. Film is the director's medium, but opera is the composer's medium.
Q: I understand there's been just one previous performance of The Matrix Live, in London last month.
A: I didn't conduct, but I attended, and I was very excited to hear my music presented that way.
Q: Wouldn't it be as satisfying to hear an orchestra play the film score, or a suite of music from it, without screening the movie?
A: If you're not seeing the film while hearing the music, you're not getting the reasons the music was written as it is, not seeing the action that is why the tempo changes at a certain point. You wouldn't be getting the full picture.
Q: Have you made any changes, or is the music exactly as it was in the film?
A: The one significant change is in the final scene, when Neo is on the phone talking to the machines, then hangs up and flies away. In the film, you hear the Rage Against the Machine song Wake Up. During filming, the directors weren't certain they'd get the rights to use the song, so I wrote music for the scene. As it turned out, we were able to use the song, so my music wasn't used. For this presentation, we felt it made more sense to close with the music I'd written.
Q: No doubt many more movies will get the film-with-live-orchestra treatment, as symphonies explore new programming alternatives to expand their audience. Is that good for orchestras and composers of concert music?
A: I see it as a very positive development. If this sort of event gets film fans into the concert hall to hear a real orchestra, they will discover the unique thrill of orchestral music and want to return for classical concerts. The other side is that film music to some extent has been looked upon as a bastard child - perhaps justified in some cases, but not in most. For those film scores that have real merit, being heard this way gives them the chance to be taken more seriously. It's a win-win situation.
Q: What determines whether a movie is suitable for this format?
A: It has to have some epic dimension, not just great music.
Q: What's another film you'd like to see presented this way?
A: North by Northwest

Marrakech is a vibrant and interesting city. Different in its way of life, it's important to be well accompanied by someone who actually knows Morocco and its cities: Siroco Tours.
Our tour guide – Rachid – was awesome and in a few hours became a friend who took us with joy, safety and inside knowledge to all highlights and other unknown tourist sites. Rachid is berber and he really made his origin shine upon our night spent in the desert. He was really amazing.
Rachid speaks portuguese, which is a valuable asset in a country where french and spanish languages dominate. This is great for all portuguese speakers. Morocco and its astonishing cities are better known and felt with Siroco tours organisation and Rachid.
Me and my boyfriend had the opportunity to get to know the desert of Merzouga two weeks ago (3 day tour Marrakech – Merzouga – Marrakech).
Already we knew that the tour would be, by itself, an unforgettable but exhausting experience. However, the tour organized by Siroco makes everything simpler and more comfortable.
The guide (Rachid) was absolutely fantastic. In the middle of Ramadan had all the patience to answer our questions and to entertain us with a thousand and one stories. On top of that I was always in a good mood, available for photos and to stop at every wonderful landscape.
The travel plan is made so that we do not feel the weight of the many kilometers to go, and the successive stops serve to know a little more about the culture and history of Morocco.
The advices and organization by Alexandra and Pedro were great for this tour in the Desert!
Jamal has been a fabulous guide during the journey because of his great knowledge and simpathy..
I trully recomend this tour for people going to Morocco if your looking for a different and amazing experience in the Desert!

Home News Local News NAM1 defrauded 53 people in 2012 – Retired COP
NAM1 defrauded 53 people in 2012 – Retired COP
A retired police officer who first arrested, investigated, and prosecuted Nana Appiah Mensah (NAM1) for fraud in 2012, Corporal David Normanyo, has said if the now-embattled Menzgold Ghana Limited CEO had been jailed at the time, several thousands of innocent investor would not have had their monies locked up with the troubled gold-trading firm as is the case at the moment.
According to him, no sooner had he retired from the service a year later than the case against NAM1, in which he defrauded 53 people within the Weija enclave through a company known as SF Gold Ghana Limited, for which he was being prosecuted in court, lost steam and frittered eventually.
Recounting the arrest of NAM1, Corporal Normanyo said: "Somewhere in 2012, I was then a police officer as a detective at the Weija police station, which we popularly called SCC.
"Then this gentleman and his associates were operating a company they called SF Gold Ghana Limited where they succeeded in defrauding some 53 Ghanaians and a report was made to the police and then I was charged to investigate [the matter].
"The investigation led to the arrest of Nana Appiah Mensah and one other person, William Atsu Tekpor. After investigations, we found evidence that they actually conspired to defraud the complainants and, so, we accordingly charged them for defrauding by false pretences and they were put before Circuit Court 9 in Accra.
"The case was ongoing and a year later, I exited the police service, and, so, I stopped following the case but when this Menzgold issue popped up, I tried to find out who was behind it and it turned out to be this same gentleman, and, so, I found out from my colleagues at Weija district what happened to that case and I was told they stopped going to the court.
"A bench warrant was issued for his arrest and, so, that meant that as far back as 2013, the police had a bench warrant issued for the arrest of this guy. I don't know why he was not arrested and he went on to do what he has done now.
"It is pathetic and I believe strongly that if that case was pursued to its logical conclusion, that guy would have been put in jail and he wouldn't have been able to scam over 60,000 Ghanaians, millions of dollars. It's unfortunate".
Explaining the modus operandi of NAM1 back then, Corporal Normanyo said: "He [NAM1] got people to pay various sums of money to him under the pretext of buying and selling Brilliance, a Chinese saloon car, to them on hire purchase.
"So, he will take a percentage of the sum of the cost of the car and he would never deliver the car. He went even to the extent that people who did not even see the car were made to pay comprehensive insurance premium to his company…"
Stating the particular case he investigated, Corporal Normanyo alleged that: "Nana Appiah Mensah got a room in Dansoman and rented it to multiple prospective tenants. He also styled himself as a football agent and collected monies from young guys who said they wanted to play football. He promised to promote them but didn't…"
Quizzed as to why NAM1 was not arrested in 2013 despite the issuance of a bench warrant, Corporal Normanyo responded: "He became so powerful and had a lot of resources under his command. He is a very smart guy, he's able to use the institutions."
Nana Appiah Mensah's Menzgold Company Limited has not been able to pay its thousands of clients' extra values and principals since August 2018 after Ghana's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shut it down over regulatory infractions.
Several demonstrations from frustrated clients have led Ghanaian authorities to issue a warrant for the CEO's arrest.
