Art. IX. Letters from an absent Brother, containing some Account
of a Tour through Parts of the Netherlands, Switzerland, Northern Italy, and France, in the Summer of 1823. In 2 vols.
12mo. Second Edition. Price 12s. London, 1824. THE first edition of these Letters was restricted to a private
circulation, but we should much bave regretted their being withheld from the public. Though evidently written with no view to their undergoing the ordeal of the press, being the unstudied and familiar effusions of the moment, they cannot fail to be acceptable to a large class of readers, on account of the specific information which they convey, on points seldom touched on by our Continental tourists. This diary of an • invalid' is not that of the virtuoso or the antiquary, the
geologist or the mere man of taste: it has for its author an English clergyman, who, when he crossed the water, left no part of his character behind him. His apology for the publication, though it may be deemed superfluous, will explain the views and motives which have actuated the Writer.
• The Author confesses that it does not appear to him to be inconsistent with the character of a minister of Christ, to publish a familiar and even imperfect account of a tour rendered indispensable by indisposition, if the tendency of it is to assist the English Protestant to associate religious and moral ends with the pursuit of health or improvement in foreign travels.
* The reader must not expect in these Letters any thing of the studied and minute details of a regular tourist.' The Author makes no such pretensions. He travelled as an invalid and a clergyman, after a life spent in theological pursuits, and his attention was most strongly directed to the beauties of nature, and to inquiries into subjects connected with morals and religion. The facts which he records, illustrative of the superstitions of Popery, or the indifference of Protestantism, of the moral and social condition of the inhabi. tants of different countries, and of the estimate formed of spiritual and vital Christianity, he simply describes as they fell under his own observation.'
Since Mr. Sheppard's Recollections of a Tour on the Continent, no work has come before us, containing any competent account of the religious aspect of the neighbouring countries. The brief notices contained in the publications of the Bible Society and its secretaries, are nearly the only documents that we possess, bearing on this subject. Our tourists describe París, and Waterloo, and the Simplon, and give us anecdotes of Bonaparte and the Bourbons; but the question of paramount interest, which they afford us extremely little aid in determining, is this : What have the last five and twenty years
effected for the moral condition of the people? What is Popery, and what is Protestantism, in 1821 ?
Mr. Wilson--for it is no longer any secret that we are indebted for these volumes to the much respected minister of St. John's, Bedford Row--has supplied us with abundant evidence, evidence forcing itself on our observation every where in foreign countries, though here there are Protestants who affect to doubt it,- that Popery is, what Popery ever has been. On arriving at Courtray, he was struck with the cheerfulness and neatness of the town, and its general beautiful appearance.
• But alas! the whole place is given to superstition. At every lamp through the streets an image of the Virgin is suspended, not a Protestant in the town. In England, we have little idea of the state of things in Catholic Europe ; there is a darkness that may be felt.'
At Brussels, the priest who shewed the church of St. Gudule, told the Travellers with perfect sang-froid, that some Jews
having, four centuries ago, stolen the host from the church, • and stabbed it, blood miraculously issued from it, and de
stroyed them !' At Aix, . a priest gravely shewed as a nail and several pieces of the wood of the cross; the sponge in which the vinegar was offered to our Savi. our; a part of the girdle of our Lord; a link of the chain with which St. Peter was martyred ; an arm and some of the hair of John the Baptist ; a tooth of St. Thomas; some bones of Simeon, &c. . I asked the priest if all these were matters of faith. He replied, " No, but they rested on the most undoubted historical evidence.". Oh, the gross impositions of this corrupt church !'
At Bergheim, they found the church filled with superstitions. A procession of two hundred persons is stated to have come eighteen miles, only the day before, to sing hymns in honour of the Virgin.
• Under an image of our Lord, we found these words : Thou who passest by, honour always the image of Christ; but'adore not the image, but him whom it represents." It is thus precisely that a heathen priest would have excused his idolatry.'
In the cathedral of Cologne, the principal raree-show consists of the heads of the three wise men who visited our Lord, with their names inscribed over each, Caspar, Melchior, Balthasar ; not in pickle, like the heads of the New Zealanders at Sur"geons' Hall, but enshrined in massy silver gilt, adorned with
precious stones.' Another church in this city boasts of the relics of St. Ursula and her eleven thousand British Virgins!
These are but specimens of German Popery, We amazingly over-state, 'remarks Mr. Wilson, the comparative amount
# of good effected by our Societies ;--the world is still "dead «« in trespasses and sins :" vast tracts of barren Protestantism, • or untilled and fruitless Popery, stretch all around us. The importance of the Holy Scriptures and of the Bible Society, forced itself upon his mind at every step. He adds, however, that: • the state of true religion is, on the whole, improving in Switzerland and some parts of Germany. Truth, holiness, and unity increase; hundreds of Catholics receive Bibles, and attend Protestant churches. The Lutherans and Reformed have begun to unite in the common term Evangelical, The Antistes and most of the clergy preach and live according to the Gospel. On the other hand, the Court of Rome threatens; the Pope is aroused : he thinks the Protestants have begun to propagate their views by Bible and Missionary Institutions, and he is determined to oppose em. The Jesuits are the Pope's household troops; they are spreading every where, and resisling, in the most open manner, every attempt at Scriptural edu. cation. The Holy Alliance is thought to favour the Pope and the Jesuits, by acting on the idea that all societies are dangerous.'
Vol. I. p. 111. So; the Holy Alliance, now that Lord Castlereagh is gone, is found out to be but a political juggle, even by the warmest admirers of that most Irish statesman. How long ago is it since to have breathed a suspicion as to the purity of the motives by which that august triumvirate of despots were sactuated, would have subjected us to the imputation of radicalism? Let us have patience, and in a few years, even the Alien Act will be reprobated by the most loyal, and Bonaparte himself will be extolled in the Quarterly Review, as next to Cromwell among the illegitimates. We could scarcely believe our eyes, when we read the following daring panegyric upon the usarper, from the pen of Mr. Wilson.
! History will soon sit in judgment on this extraordinary man. His scepticism as to all religious truth, his unbounded ambition, his
human life and happiness in the prosecution of his projects, the injustice and treachery of his invasions, the icon yoke which he imposed on the subject nations, his unmitigated hatred of England, his individual acts of cruelty and blood, are points vow generally admitted. But it is impossible to travel on the Continent, without being compelled to witness the proofs of his admirably policy, and of his zeal to promote, in many respects, the welfare and moral advancement of the people over whom he reigned. Not to dwell on the liberty of public worship which he nobly granted the Protestants of every confession ; there is something so splendid in his national works, there are so many monuments of his legislative wisdom, so many traits of grandeur in his projects, that you do not wonder that his name is still every where revered. He, in fact, brought royalty and talent into such close contact, that there was some danger of men beginning to estimate the value of a sceptre by the mere ability of the hand that wielded it. The unfavourable tendency of this unnatural union of splendid vice and glorious ambition, on the public morals and the religious habits of Europe, is obviousit debases the best principles of the heart. Of Bonaparte, as an unconscious instrument of Divine Providence for scourging guilty nations, for shaking the papacy to its base, and arousing those dormant energies in the mass of the population of Europe, which may probably issue in the general diffusion of a reasonable liberty, and of all the blessings of the glorious Gospel of Christ, I will not trust myself to speak. This view, though the most correct perhaps, has been far too exclusively taken already by religious persons.
Vol. II. p. 233. If this view be the most correct, it ought at least never to be lost sight of; but we do not think that it has by any means been too exclusively taken by religious persons,-or even sufficiently attended to, till now, of late, that the tide of opinion is beginning to turn in favour of a more English and Christian policy. The following remarks are highly deserving of attention.
• It is very observable, that where Popery is now reviving in its influence, after the French revolutionary struggles, or the iron laws of Bonaparte, it returns with all its folly about it. It is not learning a lesson of wisdom, and silently following its Pascals and Fenelons, and dropping some of its grosser corruptions; but re-assumes all its arts, its impositions, its ceremonies, its incense, its processions, its pilgrimages, its image-worship, its exclusive claims, its domination over the conscience, its opposition to the Scriptures, its hatred of education ; and this in the full face of day, and in the nineteenth century, and with infidelity watching for objections to our common Christianity. And what is the general moral effect of this system? It neither sanctifies nor saves. A depth of vice, glossed over with outward forms of decency, eats as doth a canker. Voluptuousness, impurity, dishonesty, cunning, hypocrisy, every vice prevails just as Popery has the more complete sway. The dreadful profanation of the Sabbath has by prescription become fixed. All the holy ends of it are now forgotten, unknown, obliterated. It is the habitual season of unrestrained pleasure. I speak generally, for there are doubtless multitudes of individual Catholics who serve God in sincerity and truth ; and who, disregarding the accumulations heaped on the foundation of the faith, build on Jesus Christ and him crucified. There is one class of persons in Catholic countries, which I compassionate from my heart. They are not sunk in superstition, nor have they imbibed the piety of true disciples of Christ'; but, having been ! educated during the Revolution, they have acquired a general boldness and liberality of sentiment; see through much of the mum-' mery of Popery: detect the spirit and aims of a worldly minded
priesthood ; are disgusted at the revival of the Jesuits, the opposition to the Bible Society, the resistance to education, the disturbance and removal of the inost pious and worthy masters and professors, the persecution of the Protestants, &c. And yet, they are not in earnest enough about religion to take a decided part: the objections of infidels dwell upon their minds; the fear of reproach prevents their quitting the Roman communion ; there is nothing in the Protestantism they are acquainted with, to shew them a more excellent way. Thus they glide down the fatal stream with others, dissatisfied and yet unconverted.' Vol. II. pp. 252—254.
Some noble exceptions, however, stand out in bold relief amid this gloomy picture. Our readers are familiar with the name of Leander Von Ess. He was unfortunately from home, when Mr. Wilson arrived at Darmstadt; a severe disappointment. This admirable man, now in his fifty-second year, has had a spitting of blood for above four years, which prevents his preaching, but he gives himself up to the propagation of the Gospel. He has left the university of Marburg, where he was professor, and now lives under the Protestant Grand Duke of. Hesse Darmstadt. He remains, however, a Catholic priest, but with the spirit of a Reformer. He has printed fourteen large editions of his New Testament, and circulated altogether 494,860 copies. The desire for the Scriptures among the Catholics, priests as well as laity, continues to increase; and sometimes, he circulates as many as 7000 in a single month. Lately, a priest iu one parish sent for 2000 New Testaments : the parish is in the Black Forest.
A very interesting account is given of the conversion of a Catholic priest, named Henhöfer, who became a true Christian by reading the Scriptures, and with his whole congregation, consisting of forty families, with the lord of the village at their head, ' turned from the Catholic to the Evangelical • Lutheran Church.'
- M. Aloyx Henhöfer was Catholic curé of the communes of Mule : hausen and Steineyg (between Carlsruh and Stutgard). In proportion as he studied the sacred Scriptures, with a conscientious desire to fulfil his pastoral duties, his preaching began to savour of the doctrine of Christ ; and he gradually proclaimed the Gospel with so much unction and force, that multitudes came from the most distant villages to hear him. He was soon cited to appear before the Ecclesiastical authorities at Bruchsal, to give an account of his doctrines. It was on this occasion he published his " Christian Confession of Faith, in which he declares, that, all the time he was curé of Mulhausen, he never said a word contrary to the principles of the Catholic Church; and when he preached against the abuse of ceremonies, it was only to combat the error of some of his parishioners, who thought to satisfy their consciences by merely observing the ex.

"In the vein of Dominicana and My Brilliant ... Friend, an unforgettable story about female friendship and queer love in a Pakistani-American community Razia Mirza grows up amid the wild grape vines and backyard sunflowers of Corona, Queens, with her best friend, Saima, by her side.

In middle school, Razia befriends a new girl, Taslima, and they begin to chafe at the restrictions imposed on them in their tight-knit Pakistani Muslim community. Together, they embark on a series of small rebellions: listening to scandalous American music, wearing mini skirts, and cutting school to explore the city. Then Razia is accepted to a prestigious high school in Manhattan and the gulf between the person she wants to be and the daughter her parents expect widens. There, she meets beautiful, free-spirited Angela, Razia is attracted to her in a way that first confuses her and then blossoms into new understanding. But when their relationship is discovered by an Aunty in the community, Razia must choose between her family and her own future.

San Francisco's Hidden Cisterns
Kaushik Patowary Jan 18, 2021 0 comments
Scattered around San Francisco are a total of 177 large cisterns buried beneath the streets. Their presence is visible at many intersections in the shape of large brick circles embedded in the pavement. These cisterns hold the city's emergency water supply, to be used should the city's domestic water supply fail in the event of a nasty fire.
San Francisco is the only city in the world to have such a system. The cisterns form an integral part of the city's Auxiliary Water Supply System that consist—aside from the cisterns—water reservoirs, pump stations, suction connections and fireboats, and was designed to help firefighters deal with emergencies.

The AWSS was conceived and planned in response to the failure of the existing water system during the devastating fires that ravaged San Francisco following the infamous 1906 earthquake. Within three days of the earthquake, fires destroyed approximately 25,000 buildings on 490 city blocks. Many fires were caused by ruptured gas mains, but many others were deliberately started by owners of destroyed homes so that they could claim insurance on their properties, because their insurance policies covered damage from fires but not from earthquake. Fire became the single most destructive force in the city, with some estimates putting the loss due to fires as high as 90 percent of the total destruction.
San Francisco's early settlers were no stranger to fires. A city that rose out of the gold rush was a veritable tinderbox with rickety wooden houses, tents, the hulks of ships, and anything that afforded protection. Within the first two or three years of its history, there were six major fires, the first in January 1949 when the Shades Hotel burned to the ground. A few months later, a ship went up in flames as it was preparing to sail. Towards the end of the same year, another fire began in the middle of the eastern side of the Plaza, that consumed nearly all that side of the square. This was the first great fire which devastated San Francisco.
Fire in San Francisco Bay, 1856. Oil on canvas, by Charles Christian Nahl and Hugo Wilhelm Nahl
Six months later on May 4, 1850, a fire ravaged three blocks of the most valuable buildings in the city. Following the fire, a 12,000-gallon cistern, one of many to follow, was constructed in Portsmouth Square. Artesian wells were also dug in various parts of the city and an ordinance was passed ordering all house-holders to have six water buckets kept in readiness for fires. But these preventive measures were not taken in time. A month later, a third fire broke out from a defective chimney in a bakery and the resulting fires consumed all the blocks between Clay, California and Kearny streets to the water.
Fires became a repeated occurrence in the city, breaking out every two to three months. On May 4, 1851, exactly a year after the second great fire, a catastrophic conflagration destroyed as much as three-quarters of San Francisco. It was the most devastation fire to date. Hardly six months passed when yet another fire started, completely gutting ten blocks and partially destroying another six. Wary of frequent disasters, people began to build houses with solid bricks, some two to three feet thick, to make them fireproof. But these superior constructions were confined to the central business section, while on the fringes and in the residential sections, the buildings continued to be of wood frame construction.

In response to the fires, the city installed a modern water supply system with over four thousand hydrants, that soon replaced the old time fire cisterns. Then the ground shook on April 18, 1906, and the city's water pipes sprouted leaks everywhere. Consequently, the fire department lost water pressure at the same time that busted gas lines sparked a conflagration. Eventually, it was water from these cisterns that helped firefighters save many neighborhoods from complete destruction.
Having learned their value, the city ordered the creation of over 150 new cisterns as part of the Auxiliary Water Supply System, which also included a network of pipelines built exclusively for firefighting that was completely separated from the regular water supply pipelines. The strategically located cisterns have capacities ranging from 75,000 to over 200,000 gallons each, and together they are able to store approximately 11 million gallons of water citywide. These cisterns are standalone reservoirs and are not connected to the system's water supply. Their presence is indicated by a circle of bricks with two manholes, the covers of which are embossed with CISTERN and S.F.F.D (San Francisco Fire Department).
Since the 1906 earthquake more than a century ago, the cisterns have not been used. But they are still down there and regularly maintained ready to save the city when the next calamity strikes.

Our two National Film Awardees, Manoj Bajpayee and Nawazuddin Siddiqui have again brought laurels to our country when they were honored at the 10th Aisa Pacific Screen Awards, the region's highest accolade in film, held at Brisbane, Australia last night. While Bajpayee won the Best Performance by an Actor award for his brilliant portrayal of Dr. Siras in "Aligarh", Nawazuddin was awarded a Special Mention in the same category for his role in Anurag Kashyap's Raman Raghav 2.0. This was Bajpayee's second APSA nomination. In 2012, he was nominated for his performance in Anurag Kashyap's "Gangs of Wasseypur". Another proud moment for India in the Awards was when a jury grand prize special mention was given to the eight-year-old Sunny Pawar for his portrayal of young Saroo Brierley in Garth Davis'"Lion".
Hosted by Australian actor David Wenham and presenter Anjali Rao, this was the 10th year of the Asia Pacific Screen Awards, celebrating and promoting cinematic excellence and cultural diversity of the Asia-Pacific region, comprising of 70 countries. The jury of the Awards comprised of eminent personalities like Academy Award-winner Puttnam, a multi-award-winning producer from Hong Kong Nansun Shi, Academy Award-winning Australian producer Jan Chapman and our very own talented filmmaker Shyam Benegal.
A Turkish social drama, "Cold of Kalandar", won the biggest prize of the evening, the Best Feature film of APSA. The film also won the award in Cinematography category. The film is also selected as Turkey's official entry for the Academy Awards in the foreign-language film category. 13 Months ago, this film premiered in at the Tokyo festival and impressed the jury there as well. It went on to win the festival's best film and best directing for prizes for Mustafa Kara. It is the second time hat a Turkish film has taken Asia Pacific Screen Award's top prize after Greek-Turkish co-production "Beyond the Hill" won in 2012.
Coming back to our National talents, both Manoj Bajpayee and Nawazuddin Siddiqui are the finest actors of the lot we have today. Though both the films Aligarh and Raman Raghav 2.0 may or may not have brought in a lot of audiences to the theatres, these Bollywood films surely have managed to gain appreciation on an international platform. In Cannes this year, Anurag Kashyap and Nawazuddin Siddiqui had received standing ovations for their excellent performance and direction in the film Raman Raghav 2.0.
While the Indian media is busy discussing and covering Aishwarya Rai's makeup and Sonam Kapoor's gown at the Red carpet, Manoj Bajpayee and Nawazuddin Siddiqui are bringing laurels to the country in a real sense.

Bonners Ferry Herald - Outdoors, Trees that stay forever green!
Trees that stay forever green!
The overarching reason that pine needles may be a favorite scent is because they signal the beginning of the most wonderful time of the year — the holiday season.
Each year families and friends venture out into the holiday rush to pick out the perfect tree. Stepping onto a Christmas tree farm or into the forest, the sight and smells immediately bring about that feeling of holiday cheer. Whether the trees are fir, spruce or pine, the aromas of earthy mulch, sweet tree sap and fresh pine needles are enough to put our sense of smell into overload. Paired with a delicious mug of warm hot chocolate or a minty candy cane, the adventure of bringing home the Christmas tree marks the unofficial kickoff to the holiday season.
Telling the difference among conifers can be tricky. To me, they are all Christmas trees. But calling them such doesn't really do justice the varying species of evergreens. There is, however, a quick way to tell these three common conifers apart.
Look for the number of needles that come out of the same spot on a twig. If a twig bears needles in groups of two, three, or five, you can safely call it a pine. If the twig carries its needles singly, it's a good bet you've got a fir or a spruce. Pull off a needle, and roll it between your fingers. If it feels flat and doesn't roll easily, it's a fir. If the needle has four sides and, thus, rolls easily between your fingers, it's a spruce.
Evergreen trees give us vibrant green color in winter when the rest of the world has turned brown or is covered with a blanket of white. These trees also provide a magical scent as you stroll through a snowy evergreen forest on a crisp winter's day.
In case you didn't know, evergreens are trees that keep their needles and are never totally without leaves. Most conifers are evergreen, but not all. The tamarack is the only conifer in our state that changes color (to yellow) and sheds all of its leaves each fall. It is really easy to spot one in October in the forests of Boundary County.
The rest of the conifers that are evergreens remain green year-round and will lose brown needles occasionally as the tree grows. Evergreens are conifers — trees that produce their seeds in a cone. They also have narrow round or flat needles instead of broad leaves like an oak. The cones and needles can help you tell the trees apart and identify them.
Many species of wildlife live among the conifers and use them for food. Red squirrels love to dig out the seeds and stash them for a winter snack. Mourning doves nest in the protective shelter of large trees. Chickadees pick boughs clean of insects. Hawks use the treetops as lookouts. Groups of trees camouflage deer, lynx and bobcats. Low hanging branches provide a corridor for the snowshoe hare. Branches lying on the ground make perfect homes for snakes, salamanders and shrews. White-tailed deer will strip white cedar branches clean to feed themselves in the winter, while porcupines eat the bark off of cedar stems. Owls also find comfortable perches in the treetops.
Many people like to have conifers in their yard to give shade, provide habitat for animals and because people like the way they look and smell. We also use conifers in other ways. Just think of all the products we use each day that are made from conifers.
Growing up, the smell of pine needles was likely a familiar scent in the home for almost an entire month and the Christmas tree was often the living room centerpiece during the holiday season. The festive scent is a favorite because it often reminds us of loved ones, holidays and of home. It symbolizes tradition, celebration and family. Even just the vision of a Christmas tree through a snowy window can evoke a sense of warmth and happiness.
Enjoy Boundary County and all its beautiful evergreen trees.
Nests are something to get 'egg-cited' over this spring!
Spring sounds are music to our ears!

Gradually, Hollywood movies started appearing in her resume, though she kept one foot in the door of Broadway. Louise also enjoys lifetime membership with the Actors Studio. Before she became Ginger Grant, Tina Louise had other acting roles – and even other jobs altogether outside of shows and movies. It's because we are always accustomed to 20-somethings modeling, and that's perfectly fine. Louise had a broad background and a lot of range she wanted to exercise in her acting. So, we don't think so, bullies. Years later, after a brief marriage (1966 to 1971) to TV and radio personality Les Crane, it would indeed be time for Tina. She's not showing off every aspect for the world to see, but if the press happens to catch it, well, then, it is what it is. Born and raised right in the lovely town of Castlemaine, which is in Australia. Soon, she got into acting in earnest, landing her first role in 1952 as Betty Davis in Two's Company.

More Notes of a Native Son
Narrated by: Kevin Kenerly
James Baldwin's Nobody Knows My Name records the last months of this famed American writer's 10-year self-exile in Europe, his return to America and to Harlem, and his first trip south at the time of the school integration battles. It contains Baldwin's controversial and intimate profiles of Norman Mailer, Richard Wright, and Ingmar Bergman. And it explores such varied themes as the relations between blacks and whites, the role of blacks in America and in Europe, and the question of sexual identity.
Excellent on all counts!

By: Richard Wright
Narrated by: Peter Francis James
Richard Wright's powerful and eloquent memoir of his journey from innocence to experience in the Jim Crow South. At once an unashamed confession and a profound indictment, Black Boy is a poignant record of struggle and endurance - a seminal literary work that illuminates our own time. The once controversial, now classic American autobiography measures the brutality and rawness of the Jim Crow South against the sheer desperate will it took to survive as a Black boy. Seventy-five years later, his words continue to reverberate.
By Trevin Harvey on 11-11-20
Narrated by: Adam Lazarre-White
James Baldwin's stunning first novel is now an American classic. With startling realism that brings Harlem and the black experience vividly to life, this is a work that touches the heart with emotion while it stimulates the mind with its narrative style, symbolism, and excoriating vision of racism in America. Moving through time from the rural South to the northern ghetto, Baldwin chronicles a 14-year-old boy's discovery of the terms of his identity as the stepson of the minister of a storefront Pentecostal church in Harlem one Saturday in March of 1935.
Masterful First Novel
No Name in the Street
This stunningly personal document and extraordinary history of the turbulent '60s and early '70s displays James Baldwin's fury and despair more deeply than any of his other works. In vivid detail he remembers the Harlem childhood that shaped his early consciousness, the later events that scored his heart with pain - the murders of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, his sojourns in Europe and in Hollywood, and his return to the American South to confront a violent America face-to-face.

A poorly organized treasure trove
By David J. Gamble Jr. on 04-16-21
Narrated by: Dion Graham
Set in Greenwich Village, Harlem, and France, Another Country tells the story of the suicide of jazz-musician Rufus Scott and the friends who search for an understanding of his life and death, discovering uncomfortable truths about themselves along the way. Another Country is a work that is as powerful today as it was 40 years ago - and expertly narrated by Dion Graham.
Don't Expect Sweetness and Light
The Devil Finds Work
An Essay
Baldwin's personal reflections on movies gathered here in a book-length essay are also a probing appraisal of American racial politics. Offering an incisive look at racism in American movies and a vision of America's self-delusions and deceptions, Baldwin challenges the underlying assumptions in such films as In the Heat of the Night, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, and The Exorcist.

Tell Me How Long the Train's Been Gone
At the height of his theatrical career, the actor Leo Proudhammer is nearly felled by a heart attack. As he hovers between life and death, Baldwin shows the choices that have made him enviably famous and terrifyingly vulnerable. For between Leo's childhood on the streets of Harlem and his arrival into the intoxicating world of the theater lies a wilderness of desire and loss, shame and rage.

The stark grief of a brother mourning a brother opens this novel with a stunning, unforgettable experience. Here, in a monumental saga of love and rage, Baldwin goes back to Harlem, to the church of his groundbreaking novel Go Tell It on the Mountain, to the homosexual passion of Giovanni's Room, and to the political fire that inflames his nonfiction work.

The Quietus & Arts Council UK 'Minor Characters' project
Over June and July, I'm going to be producing some of this, at Parr Street Studios in Liverpool.
http://thequietus.com/articles/15270-liverpool-international-music-festival-minor-characters
The acts involved have all been asked to come up with a song or piece of music inspired by a minor character from fiction. I'm going to be recording and mixing about half of it, and doing a bit of organising and helping out with the rest.
Have been doing pre-prod for a while, and demos and snippets heard so far are very exciting. Can't say too much right now, but here's a photo of me and John Doran doing some highly industrious work with The Lone Taxidermist. As you can see, he's made a large pot of tea and had his head converted into a Theremin; there's no doubting that level of commitment.

East India Youth – Heaven How Long – Oh The Gilt Remix
East India Youth's brilliant Hostel EP was the first release on The Quietus's record label, and myself and Quietus editor John Doran, in our guise as Oh The Gilt did this remix for it.
An absolute joy to work on, great song, and a fantastic vocal performance. Lots of foley on this too, with the rain and all the weird metallic sounds being created in my flat.
In my mix room, I've got a TV over to the left of where I sit, that I can just about see out of the corner of my eye. I had Blade Runner on with the sound down while I mixed this one. Only realised later how appropriate it was, what with the rain and the general moodiness.

Nautilus updates National Minimum Wage advice for members
The National Minimum Wage now applies to more maritime workers, including those on the UK continental shelf and in UK territorial waters. Image: Getty
Nautilus International has updated its advice to members regarding the UK national minimum wage (NMW).
All seafarers are entitled to receive the minimum wage if they work on a UK ship, perform some work in the UK and ordinarily reside in the UK. From 1 October 2020 the NMW was extended to those seafarers who serve aboard a ship that works in UK territorial waters or the UK sector of the continental shelf, no matter their country of residence, nationality or the flag of the vessel.
Even seafarers aboard vessels that serve outside these areas may now be entitled – for example, if they routinely join and leave their ship at a UK port.
From 1 April 2021 the NMW rates have been increased. The increases apply even if a seafarer's employment agreement says otherwise.
Seafarers who believe they have been underpaid can complain and seek redress via HMRC, which enforces the national minimum wage. However, union members should seek advice from their union. Members of Nautilus International should make contact with their industrial officer in the first instance.
Full advice from the Union on the NMW can be found in the Members Area of the Nautilus site.
'The buck stops with flag states' on seafarer exhaustion, webinar hears
Flag states and shipping companies were challenged to act on exhaustion at sea and the adjustment of hours of work and rest records by a high-profile panel of experts at a Nautilus Webinar.
UK government ministers address questions on satellite backup and seafarer quarantine
Following concerns raised by Nautilus, UK parliamentarians have been challenging government ministers on two important maritime issues through asking formal questions.

Discussion in 'US Coins Forum' started by toned_morgan, Mar 20, 2019.
I just wanted to ask if this toning was real or fake. It looks good and it has been graded by ANACS, but it looks a bit too neon colored and the colors have the oil spill look that people use to attract new collectors. This is not my coin nor my pictures, but I have my eye on it for buying. I appreciate any help on this coin!
DBDc80 and Shrews1994 like this.
Looks ok to me. Check out this neon oil slick.
Inspector43 and DBDc80 like this.
Should those spots on the 1939 be a source for concern?
I also noticed them and believe that it hurts the overall eye appeal.
The coin is likely MA (or at least close enough) but I wouldn't pay much of a toning premium (someone might, but the OP should decide on their own if this is something they want to stretch for).
