Summary : David Hair is the award-winning writer of two young adult fiction series, The Aotearoa and The Return of Ravana (based on the Vedic epic The Ramayana). Mage's Blood, the first volume of a series called The Moontide Quartet, is Hair's first work of adult fantasy. In a starred review of Mage's Blood, Publisher's Weekly said, "This multilayered beginning to the Moontide Quartet plunges readers into a taut network of intrigue and mystery that tightens with each chapter. Hair portrays a stark and beautiful world breaking apart, with both good and evil characters desperate to reshape it through magic, war, and treachery. This strong debut should draw in fantasy readers of all stripes." Most of the time the Moontide Bridge lies deep below the sea, but every twelve years the tides sink and the bridge is revealed, its gates open for trade. The Magi are hell-bent on ruling this new world, and for the last two Moontides they have led armies across the bridge on "crusades of conquest." Now, the third Moontide is almost here, and this time the people of the East are ready for a fight... but it is three seemingly ordinary people that will decide the fate of the world.
Summary : The Moontide is coming. Urte stands on the brink of war. Now three seemingly ordinary people will decide the fate of the world. Urte is divided, its two continents separated by impassable seas. But once every twelve years, the Moontide sees the waters sink to their lowest point and the Leviathan Bridge is revealed, linking east to west for twenty-four short months. The Rondian emperor, overlord of the west, is hell-bent on ruling both continents, and for the last two Moontides he has led armies of battle-magi across the bridge on crusades of conquest, pillaging his way across Antiopa. But the people of the east have been preparing - and, this time, they are ready for a fight. An epic fantasy, rich in intricate plots, intrigue and treachery. Vast forces collide and ordinary people make heart-rending choices that will shake the world. 'A complex world populated by a rich and diverse cast of characters . . . Recommended for fans of George R.R. Martin, Brandon Sanderson and Patrick Rothfuss' - Library Journal
Promise of Blood
Author : Brian McClellan
Summary : The Age of Kings is dead . . . and I have killed it. It's a bloody business overthrowing a king... Field Marshal Tamas' coup against his king sent corrupt aristocrats to the guillotine and brought bread to the starving. But it also provoked war with the Nine Nations, internal attacks by royalist fanatics, and the greedy to scramble for money and power by Tamas's supposed allies: the Church, workers unions, and mercenary forces. It's up to a few... Stretched to his limit, Tamas is relying heavily on his few remaining powder mages, including the embittered Taniel, a brilliant marksman who also happens to be his estranged son, and Adamat, a retired police inspector whose loyalty is being tested by blackmail. But when gods are involved... Now, as attacks batter them from within and without, the credulous are whispering about omens of death and destruction. Just old peasant legends about the gods waking to walk the earth. No modern educated man believes that sort of thing. But they should... In a rich, distinctive world that mixes magic with technology, who could stand against mages that control gunpowder and bullets? PROMISE OF BLOOD is the start of a new epic fantasy series from Brian McClellan. Winner of the David Gemmell Morningstar Award for Best Debut Fantasy.

Coming ashore with just twenty lancers, he is forced to rely on brains rather than brawn -- gaining new allies in a strange land on the cusp of its own internal violence.

While allied politicians seek to undo her from within, she faces insurmountable odds and Dynize's greatest general.

European Union Bans Travelers From U.S. As Coronavirus Rages
The European Union will temporarily ban travelers from the United States as it begins to reopen borders to international visitors next month, a sharp rebuke of the Trump administration's mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic.
Travelers from several other countries where coronavirus outbreaks are raging, including Russia and Brazil, also are excluded.
EU countries have barred most foreign travelers since mid-March, but many leaders are anxious to reopen their economies after months of lockdown and social distancing measures.
Under the new rules, the EU's 27 members will open their borders to visitors from 15 countries, easing the pressure on trade and travel for Europeans. People from the U.S., where coronavirus outbreaks are surging in numerous states, could be allowed to return once the pandemic is brought under control.
The New York Times, which first reported discussions around the ban, said officials in Brussels attempted to make the determination on which countries to exclude nonpolitical, relying instead on infection statistics and science.
The U.S. is still reeling from the pandemic. More than 2.5 million people have tested positive for COVID-19, and over 126,000 have died ― more than in any other country. Cases are surging in more than two dozen states that have largely reopened businesses and eased social distancing measures. Many did so after admonishments by President Donald Trump, who continues downplaying the threat of the virus.
Europe, on the other hand, has been largely successful at controlling infections, although the threat of a second wave remains a concern.
The EU's ban follows a similar restriction imposed by Trump as the virus first began spreading around the globe. In March, the White House issued a restrictive ban on citizens from most countries in the EU bloc, infuriating the union's leaders. Trump said last month that Europeans would soon be welcomed back into America, but his administration has not yet eased restrictions.
The leaders of the three major countries affected by the EU ban all have been largely dismissive of the virus threat. Trump has routinely suggested the disease will go away on its own, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has rejected scientific advice and embraced an anti-malaria drug that doesn't work against COVID-19, and Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared the virus under control, even as cases surge.

A: There seems to be an issue with the resource directory 'res font'. I'm not sure if the APKTool supports spaces in directory names, but you can definitely update the APKTool by replacing the C:\Program Files (x86)\Ranorex 7.1\Bin\RxEnv\Android\tools\apkTool with the latest from APKTool to check if the newer version supports spaces. Also the instrumentation flags are usually only necessary for multidex apps and or apps which exceed the 64k method limitation.

Homemade French toast with fruit, blueberry pancakes and omelets are some of the breakfast items at Sunnyside Cafe, in Cape May Court House, Friday, Dec. 3, 2021. (VERNON OGRODNEK, FOR THE PRESS)
Taking over a restaurant at the start of a global pandemic seems like a losing battle.
Tom Glick didn't see it that way.
So, in April 2020, he decided to take a chance and buy the Sunnyside Café, a Cape May Court House breakfast and lunch spot filled with the type of folksy charm you might expect from this type of establishment.
A popular local spot for hotcakes and omelets, it had been open for years under different ownership until Glick — a transplant from Delaware who also owns Glick's Corner Deli just down the street — drove by one day and noticed it was closed. After a bit of discussion and a few phone calls, Glick and his partner Brian Paras decided to take over the reins.
"There was a lot of work that had to be done," Glick says. "We refurbished the kitchen and re-did a few things, but we wanted to keep the same charm that it had for so many years."
So they did.
Sunnyside Café is as warm and folksy as ever, but with a noticeable sprucing up.
"We kept the same setup, but we modernized it a bit," Glick adds. "Now people say, 'It kinda looks the same, but the tables don't wobble anymore.'"
The FoodSteady tables are a nice plus, but to keep a restaurant packed you have to have great food. And Sunnyside Café has that covered.
"It's good food fast — not fast food," he says. "I'm back there flipping eggs every day and making homemade soups. Everything we do is fresh – even the pancake batter."
It's clear that Glick is proud of the food they serve and Sunnyside Café, and he has a right to be. The menu reads like a list of all of your favorite breakfast all-stars: cereals, oatmeal and fresh fruit are available for those seeking out a light breakfast, while those with a heartier appetite can navigate their way through a labyrinth of breakfast combos that include staples like pancakes, french toast, waffles, eggs, homefries and various breakfast meats such as bacon, sausage or ham. They even have a list of Benedict combos including crab cake and sausage varieties. Each come with coffee, which is a nice touch, and prices are more than reasonable, as the combos range from $6.25 to $10.25.
Don't sleep on the cream chipped beef combo ($8.95) — an indulgent and tasty breakfast dish.
"The cream chipped beef on toast flies under the radar a bit, but it's one of my favorites," he says.
Omelets are a big seller at Sunnyside, with a long list of all the usual suspects like bacon and cheese, western, spinach and cheese and others making appearances.
Lunch is a mix of American classics, with half-pound burgers ($8.95) and turkey clubs ($9.95) sharing space with diner staples like the grilled cheese ($5.95), tuna melt ($8.95) or grilled Reuben ($9.95).
But of all the dishes on the lunch menu, there's one standout that bears the name of its creator: Tom's crab cake sandwich ($9.95), which Glick stands proudly behind.
"I'm pretty well known for my crab cakes," he says. "I use nothing but crab meat, a little bit of mayo and my mix of spices — no filler. People are always taken aback, because at that price they think they are going to get a frozen crab cake, but once they have it, they are pleasantly surprised."
The hot saucesCertain staples like ketchup, salt and pepper will always be found on the table at any restaurant, but at Sunnyside Café, hot sauce is just as important. And here they are homemade.
"When I was growing up, we always had hot sauces around for eggs," he explains. "But when I came down to Jersey, I noticed that a lot of places didn't have hot sauce on the table. So I started making my own. I make different varieties like chipotle, cayenne, habanero garlic – so we started botting and selling them. I've been making these sauces for 28 years."
You can purchase your very own bottle of any of Glick's hot sauce varieties to take home for $5.95.
Earlybirds onlySo why just breakfast and lunch? Glick says that it gives him more time to spend with his family, as the café is only open until 3 p.m., but he has another good reason, too.
"Because nobody has ever punched me in the face over an egg," Glick says bluntly.
His point is well taken. There is a lot more pressure at dinner, and when you throw a few bottles of wine into the mix, customers don't always behave as rationally as you would expect. Breakfast or lunch makes for a more casual and relaxed environment. And that is exactly what you get at Sunnyside Café.

I'm not listening! Silencing the voice of accusation.
Never fails. On the brink of something good–something new—the accusations begin. It's pretty amusing and predictable. In my history walking with God, I've noticed the pattern. I say "yes" and get ready to step in. Enter in the lying taunts.
In attempt to get me to run.
To try to prove my innocence.
It's subtle enough to stop me in my tracks and ponder the indictment. A total distraction. Never does he tell me I'm going to hell or that I don't love God. That would be too blatant. But it's measured out in just the right proportions to make me feel a bit of shame and to hold back my voice. Tempting me to analyze the motives of my heart or question my sincerity.
Do not argue with the accuser. Silence him!
We are to submit to God and then RESIST the devil. Don't entertain or attempt to argue with his lies. He is a master manipulator and we will eventually begin to agree with his lies over us, eroding our confidence in the blood of Jesus and his righteousness in us.
In the past few days there have been very precise attempts to get me to doubt God's promises or even my own sincerity of heart.
I am running this race and refuse to quit! There's a prize to be had so I am fixing my eyes on Jesus. I'm throwing off the weights the enemy would want to shoulder me with and trusting the lover of my soul.
For the blessing of the Father rides on the wings of accusation.
So how did it end up? After I was accused about my "crutch"? Well, Father was good and poured out his love on all those in the room. And I got to share about silencing the voice of the accuser. He doesn't mean to, but our accuser ends up pointing out the area God is about to move in next. So, thank you very much for revealing where God is about to move—oh, and by the way– shut your mouth. I'm not listening!
So awesome Liz! I have to sort out my password, so I can post my comments!

One Exclamation Point Isn't Enough For Zora Neale Hurston
Peter Bagge's particular cartooning style is immediately identifiable as his and his alone, signified by big expressive faces, seemingly boneless rubber limbs, hunched question mark-shaped postures, and such gag comic staples to underline emotions as surprise lines, anger-waves and floating hearts. Despite a long, varied and successful career in comics, he's probably not the first creator anyone would expect to produce a thoroughly researched comic-format biography of American literary giant Zora Neale Hurston.

'Creepy' #18 Celebrates 50 Years Of The Macabre
About a decade after the formation of the Comics Code Authority in 1954 effectively killed off EC Comics' popular line of horror comics, Warren Publishing aimed to bring back some of that malevolent magic. The result was the anthology series Creepy (and later, its sister book, Eerie). Published as a black-and-white magazine, the series didn't have to adhere to the Comics Code's strict content standards, and as such, was able to push the envelope in ways comics in the mid-1960s generally couldn't. Now, the book's current publisher, Dark Horse, is celebrating the magazine's 50th anniversary with a big, blowout issue featuring work by Fred Van Lente, Corinna Bechko, Dustin Nguyen, Peter Bagge, Alison Sampson, and Art Baltazar, among others.

Nieman Reports Summer 1998
Scoop Artist Who Isn't a Journalist
Robert Lenzner
"Born to see; meant to look." That's the personal motto taken from Goethe's "Faust" that Peter Drucker, the legendary thinker and management expert, uses to describe his profession. An observer, not a participant. Almost like a
The World According to Peter Drucker
Jack Beatty
The Free Press. 201 Pages. $25.00.journalist. But not quite. Drucker likes to call himself a writer, a "social ecologist," someone whose beat is organizations, maybe even groups, like workers or management. Ideas, too, the ones that have been percolating around in politics, economics and literature since the early years of the 20th Century.
A birds-eye view of Drucker's observations can be found in a recent survey of his intellectual history, "The World According to Peter Drucker," by Jack Beatty, a top Atlantic Monthly editor and author of "The Rascal King," a biography of former Boston Mayor James Michael Curley.
Journalists everywhere could do well to read about Drucker. His books and essays are provocative and incisive about human nature and history. He's had many scoops that most of us would kill to have printed first.
In 1969 he predicted that the information industry would transform American society. "Certainly young people…will use information systems as their normal tools, much as they now use the typewriters and the telephone," he wrote.
"The essence of the knowledge society is mobility in terms of where one lives, mobility in terms of what one does, mobility in terms of one's affiliation." That was 30 years before the telecommunications revolution allowed people to live in Phoenix, but work in Chicago.
Did any journalist pick up on this notion and develop it in the daily or weekly media? None that we know of. Most of the media responds to yesterday's events—political scandals, bank mega-mergers, the run on Asian currencies. It hardly ever deals with ideas, unless on Op-ed pages where thinkers like Drucker sound off. (For many years Drucker was a contributor to The Wall Street Journal's editorial page).
Drucker, an Austrian émigré, began writing editorials daily for a Frankfurt newspaper in 1931. After a stint as financier in London, he emigrated to the United States in the late 1930's writing for European publications.
Why should Drucker be read?
First for the purity of his intellectual integrity. Drucker tells it like it is, often with hyperbole and over-exaggeration to make a point. Given the chance to write about General Motors from the inside, Drucker didn't pull punches. In "Concept of the Corporation," the first serious inside examination of a huge profit-making institution, he criticized G.M.'s labor relations and called for many reforms of employee relations. "'Concept of the Corporation' is a book about business as 'Moby Dick' is a book about whaling," says Beatty. Meaning that this anthropological view of a company is about the essence of life, rather than a dry management textbook.
The result for Drucker was controversy and fame; his friend, Alfred Sloan, G.M. Chairman, treated the book "as if it didn't exist." Any G.M. executive caught reading Drucker's book was told to go work for the Ford Motor Company. In short, Drucker raised hackles.
Second, read Drucker for his moral sensibility. He's a crusading philosopher instead of muckraking journalist. His most outspoken sensibility: vitriol about rapacious, greedy chief executive officers who fire thousands of workers, then award themselves huge compensation. He makes a spirited argument for promoting spiritual values for the free enterprise system.
Everyone credits Drucker with the birth of management consulting. In a sense this is true; his textbooks do give clear commonsense advice on how to run a business. They've all been huge bestsellers.
Yet the value for a journalist is Drucker's distillation of economist John Maynard Keynes, sociologist Emile Durkheim and novelist Jane Austen, not to mention most of the famous thinkers of the 19th and 2Oth Centuries. Reading Drucker is a feast.
So I'd advise picking up one or two of Drucker's own works, starting with his autobiographical "Adventures of a Bystander," which gives a colorful portrait of growing up in post-World War I Vienna. For business journalists "The Practice of Management," published in 1954, gives some hints on what to look for when looking at today's mega-giant corporations.

In the recent weeks I've met with a number of people who are at a career crossroads. Some are no longer enjoying their roles while others are looking to stretch themselves and explore new horizons. Regardless of what brought each of them to that point, they all had one thing in common … a sense of disorientation and anxiety.
That's to be expected. After all, we're smart, responsible adults. We know that it's important to have clear goals. How it provides a sense of purpose and keeps us focused. So it's natural to feel anxious and perhaps even a tad irresponsible when you're slightly adrift with no shoreline in sight.
Now don't get me wrong. I'm a huge believer of having clear intentions and goals. But I'm also an equally huge fan of those moments in between where you allow yourself to drift. I think a bit of aimless wandering every now and then is a really good thing. In fact, it's something I highly recommend.
What is this 'wandering' that I'm referring to ? I'm not talking about taking an aimless walk. Or taking a year off to wander around the globe …. although that has its benefits as well. I'm referring more to those stretches of time in between when you're feeling a bit lost and uncertain. When you're standing at the crossroads, unhappy with your current job/career/life (insert whatever's relevant to you) but with no clue about what's next, much less how to get there.
Those are the times when you give yourself permission to metaphorically wander. To sit comfortably in that space of uncertainty and ambiguity with no guilt nor expectations. To break free, even if it's just for a moment, from thinking about what you 'should', 'need' or 'must' do next. To view that time in between as a wonderful gift of freedom to explore. Because that's when the really good stuff happens.
That's when you allow yourself to imagine what's possible. To dare believe that there is more …. that you could achieve more, be more, do more with your career and life. That perhaps, just maybe, it truly is possible to have both freedom and success. That you could indeed have, not just a job, but a fulfilling career doing what you love, and make a good living doing it. That you are good enough. And believe that what you truly want is achievable.
So to all those wanderers out there, let your mind soar freely. Don't feel guilty or anxious. Don't be in a mad rush to jump into your next thing. Give yourself room to breathe. To explore, to grow, to dream.
You are not lost. You're just taking a brief detour on the way to your next big thing.

Is this a magpie with leucism?
For the last few weeks, every time I walk to the shops, I've seen a whitish bird hanging around with a group of magpies and I wondered what it was. When I stopped and looked closer, I realised it resembled its magpie friends in every way except for its colour. So I googled "white magpie" and noted that there are magpies without the usual pigment but that it seems to be very uncommon. I know very little about birds (although I always like to try and identify birds when I don't know what they are) and thus I just wanted to make sure that the bird wasn't some other species that closely resembled magpies.
So I thought I would post my picture to see what others thought. I live on the mid North Coast of NSW.
Btw I noticed a yellow line down the bird's right leg - it is also evident on a couple of other photos I took.
How common are these leucistic magpies? One article said they were very rare but I wondered just how rare.
I did wonder also about the yellow stripe down the leg - I wondered whether it had been tagged.
Not sure on exact prevalence though you can be assured it's fairly rare.
Leucism can affect the pigmentation of tissues other than feathers (and animals other than birds) I so reckon the yellow stripe on the leg could perhaps be part of the mutation.
I don't live far from there - I live at Port Macquarie.
Actually, I was speaking to a friend about the bird yesterday and he says he has seen a couple in PM so it looks like there might be a few of them up this way!
Hi Catherine I live in Port and would love to see this bird, could you please tell me the exact location?
Hi Liam, he hangs around the front (western end) of St Josephs Primary School in Walters St near Settlement City. There is a tiny close called Drew Close which is right opposite where I usually see him although he and his pals also spend time the western wall of the school. He is usually there every day although I tend to see him more in the afternoon than the morning.
Thanks heaps, I'll head over there and hopefully I can find him!
Wow! I've not seen one that white, but for birdo's in Brisbane there is one at UQ. It seems to favour the lawn in front of St Leo's College. This photo was taken in January 2014 but it was still there this January.
He is an unusual looking chap! I don't think I've seen a magpie with a white head.
With mine, he is just a very light brown where he would normally be black but his pattern is otherwise normal whereas yours has an overall unusual pattern.
Good luck - hope you manage to find him. I walked past there early this morning on the way to the shops but couldn't see him but then I never see many birds in the morning, they seem to be all up in the trees at that time. Afternoons seem better.
If you do see him, you'll probably see that the brown bits are slightly darker IRL than in the photo.
And this was taken in front of the lake at UQ on Feb 13, 2016 .... so may be it is the same one ... I thought it may be a youngster of yours .... but it may be the same one.
He looks just like TimRob's bird doesn't he. If he isn't the same bird, he has to be related for sure, the markings are so similar.
*My* bird (which I haven't seen for a while) had 3 other magpie friends with normal markings and I did womder if they were relatives because his blotches were in the same pattern as their normal markings.
that was what crossed my mind, catherine, when i first saw this bird ... it looks like a film negative of the usual bird. I have been photographing birds and their youngs. Juvenile magpies do have slightly lighter colours .... but the white on this one was just so opposite to the dark.
I guess I am posting here, hoping that some ornithologist can shed some light on what we are dicussing here.
On Wikipedia, leucism is defined as : Wikipedia - Leucism Leucism (/ˈljuːkɪzəm/; or /ˈluːsɪzəm/) is a condition in which there is partial loss of pigmentation in an animal resulting in white, pale, or patchy coloration of the skin, hair, feathers, scales or cuticle, but not the eyes. Unlike albinism, it is caused by a reduction in multiple types of pigment, not just melanin.
It is different to, for example "pied" which means "black and white" like pied butcherbid.
That makes a great photo, sylviadivemaster. Beautiful bird.
I had another look at pacman's link to the bird in Dunbogan that looks like my one and I noticed the comment about it being a cinnamon mutation - i.e. everything that should be black was cinnamon but the pattern is the normal "magpie" pattern.
which looks like it is the same bird that timrob was talking about and looks similar to your one. Someone on that thread called it a "pied mutation". As you pointed out, your magpie doesn't seem to have the usual magpie pattern but rather what had black and white markings in random spots (except for the wing) and looks like "negative" version of the usual magpie, black where while should be and vice versa.
Btw is it just me or is your magpie rather slimmer than my one or is it just the angle?
All pied magpies are pied - dual colour. But what does one call a magpie that is black where it should be white and white where it normally would be black, tim?
And yes, this bird is rather slim compared to a typical adult magpie - which was the reason that I thought that it would have been a youngster to tim's original bird from two years ago. It hangs around the lake. And the normal magpie youngsters hatched earlier this year or late last year are about the size of this one.
Hi there, I know very little about birds but spotted this same bird this morning (17/1/17) out at UQ St Lucia. I quickly grabbed a photo although not that clear (just using my iphone). I was wondering if it was a magpie and then it was confirmed as it had a baby magpie (normal colouring) squawking behind it! So obviously it is doing well to have a baby/babies :) Haha, poor thing might be getting sick of the paparazzi soon :) I found your forum by googling albino magpies as I wasn't sure if that was what it was and then I see all these posts about this bird :) Was so lucky to happen to spot it myself. Will upload the photo I got when I get the chance to get if off my phone.
"Their life expectancy is round (sic) 25 years, and some claim even longer, up to 30 years." (Gisela Kaplan: Australian Magpie).
Looks like it has Yellow eyes...?
That would be a leucistic Pied Currawong maybe.
Magpies have red/brown and Black eyes.
It would be the same bird. First picture of this UQ bird from Jan 2014 looks like a younger version, and it's only been 4 years.
The white magpie seems really tolerant, and seems to always check if I will offer food whenever I sit there for lunch (because once I did, oops). There was a normal magpie sticking around too, which didn't bother her so perhaps it's the father of her baby.

I recently received a Ph.D. in English with doctoral certificates in American Studies and Film Studies from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York and currently teach at Queens College, CUNY. I specialize in nineteenth- and twentieth-century American literature, film and media studies, and the interrelations of literary and technological culture. My articles have been published in Modernism/modernity, the Journal of the Short Story in English, and Studies in American Naturalism. At present, I am working on a book project that examines U.S. writers' critical engagement with the screen from pre-cinematic media to early motion pictures.

I joined the faculty of the University of Oklahoma in 2014 as Assistant Professor of 20th- and 21st-Century Latin American Literature. I hold a PhD in Hispanic Languages and Literatures from the University of California, Berkeley (2013). My current research focuses on the representation of the real in contemporary Latin America. My publications on this topic have appeared in Theatre Journal, TransModernity, Latin American Theatre Review, The Routledge Companion to Dramaturgy and Revista de Literatura Mexicana Contemporánea. My current book project (under contract with the University of Pittsburgh Press) is a study of how the stage has become a space for constructing alternative personal and collective histories in post-traumatic national situations, specifically in the works of Mexican theatre collective Lagartijas Tiradas al Sol. Other research interests include the digital humanities, especially for linking research and teaching; contemporary Mexican literature by women authors; and literary representations of the Mexican borders. I am motivated and encouraged by artistic expressions that provoke, contest, and offer alternatives to an often defeatist status quo.
