Helmet Newton Retrospective
March 24 – June 17
"Helmet Newton: 1920-2004" is on display at the Grand Palais in Paris, France from March 24th to June 17th, honoring one of fashion's most important and influential masters of photography. Since Newton's death in 2004, there has been no retrospective of the German-Australian's work in France, despite the fact that Paris was the location of some of Newton's most iconic images, particularly his work for French Vogue, Elle, Playboy, and Harper's Bazaar. Newton's wife, June Newton, aka Alice Springs, organized the exhibition, which features over two hundred photographs, mostly originals or vintage prints made under Newton's supervision, shown side by side with quotations from Newton and a film by June, entitled "Helmut by June." The exhibition takes a look at Newton's work in fashion during some of his most pivotal years in France, focusing on his provocative, iconic nudes, intimate portraits, and his unabashed, often humorous, approach to sexuality. The retrospective also proves just how important Newton was to the world of art. His work goes well beyond basic fashion photography; challenging the constraints of acceptability, the nude female form, and traditional photographic work in magazines from the sixties right up until his death. The Grand Palais exhibition is the first of three up coming shows of Newton's work, the next will be in Berlin featuring Newton's Polaroids, followed by a show in Dallas which will include images from his three books, "White Women" (1976), "Sleepless Nights" (1978), and "Big Nudes" (1982).

A dedication to the most successful Warlords addon: Master Plan which was probably named after the original Masterplan, the campaign editor tool for Dungeons & Dragons.
Only on Curse, Master Plan has gathered almost 25 million total downloads in very short time since the initial release of November, 2014 and it also holds the #1 rank in Monthly Downloads (beating DBM!) by this time.
It definitely helped many of us to speed up the most boring parts of garrison daily routine and I do hope we see it in Legion again if needed (which seems quite likely for now).

Q: Jmeter: Ultimate Thread Group - Test finishes before it should I am using 'Ultimate thread Group' scenarios for each of my 7 scripts/scenarios (each thread group having different number of users). For each of them, i have given the same 1800s as ramp-up and 3600s for steady-state and 90s for ramp-down.
I expect the test to run for about 1.5 hours whereas it finishes in 55min. Any suggestions please?
Thanks,
N

A: You can check jmeter.log file, it contains the reason for the ending each and every thread.
I can think of the following possible reasons for premature ending the test and none of them is specific to the Ultimate Thread Group:

*

*You have chosen something other than "Continue" or "Start Next Thread Loop" under "Action to be taken after a Sampler error":

*You have CSV Data Set Config which is set up to stop thread at the end of the CSV file and you don't have sufficient amount of test data

*You're stopping the tread/test somewhere using Flow Control Action sampler

*Your test terminates as the result of an OutOfMemory error

Abd Al Aziz Awda, also known as Abd al-Aziz Uda or Sheik Odeh (born 20 December 1950), is one of the founders of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine, also known as Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).

Awda was listed as a "Specially Designated Terrorist" under United States law on 23 January 1995. A decade later, Awda was among the second and most recent group of indicted fugitives to be added to the FBI Most Wanted Terrorists list on 24 February 2006, along with PIJ secretary-general Ramadan Shalah. Awda is the spiritual leader of the PIJ and is still involved in the organization, which has its headquarters located in Damascus, Syria, where he likely still resides, along with other leaders of Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Early life and education
Awda was born on 20 December 1950 in Jabalia, a village just south of the city of Beit Lahia, in the Gaza Strip.

Awda was educated in Arab and Islamic studies in Cairo, Egypt. He later worked as a lecturer at a university and as an Imam at a mosque, both of which were located in the Gaza Strip.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad activity
Awda and Fathi Shaqaqi founded Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine, also known as Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), when it was formed in the Gaza Strip during the 1970s as a branch of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Awda also became known as the group's spiritual leader.

Awda was listed as a "Specially Designated Terrorist" under United States law on 23 January 1995. Later that year, Shaqaqi was assassinated in Malta in 1995, and was replaced as secretary-general of PIJ by Ramadan Shalah, who then joined Awda on the U.S. "Specially Designated Terrorist" list on 27 November 1995.

Fellow PIJ members Awda and Shalah were both indicted in a 53 count indictment in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa, Florida, on Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) charges of alleged involvement in racketeering activities for the designated international terrorist organization known as Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Awda is wanted for conspiracy to conduct the affairs of the PIJ through a pattern of racketeering activities such as bombings, murders, extortions, and money laundering. For that indictment, Awda and Shalah then became two of six alleged and indicted terrorist fugitives among the second and most recent group of indicted fugitives to be added to the FBI Most Wanted Terrorists on 24 February 2006.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) states that Awda is still involved in PIJ, which has its headquarters located in Damascus, Syria, where Awda likely remains as well. His other aliases listed by the FBI include Abdel Aziz Odeh, Abd Al Aziz Odeh, Abed Al Aziz Odeh, Abu Ahmed, Sheik Awda, Fadl Abu Ahmed, Al Sheik, The Sheik, and Mawlana.

A "capstone" is an architectural term: it is the final block or section placed on a construction project to complete the structure. Coincidentally, each layer of brick in a building is called a "course," so it's appropriate that a Capstone project, a culminating and highly individualized academic and intellectual experience, was instituted this year in Mr. Inouye's English 12 classes. Capstone projects are typically long-term investigative projects that lead toward final products (e.g., websites, poster sessions, formal presentations, etc.) that are shared with a small or large community of peers and, sometimes, teachers, parents, and other guests.
Using a process called "I-Search" (a term coined by Ken Macrorie), English 12 students this year began by reading a nonfiction book of their choice in a subject area of their choosing — something that they'd be interested in researching for an extended period of time — and hopefully something that sparks their curiosity, or something with multiple viewpoints or both. They reflected on what they already knew and thought about their chosen area, completed mini-research on who the possible stakeholders (alive and dead) in the issue are, and developed a major question or questions that would drive the I-search.
Here's where the "I" in "I-Search" comes in, then: The students then, according to Huntington Lyman, "[tell] the story of the search in a first-person narrative, explaining the route taken to find information and answer important questions, recording the way the central question evolves and changes." In this way, the I-Search essay encourages critical thought and requires it to be made explicit. Students narrate their search, reflecting on the revelations and epiphanies they have, as well as the roadblocks they encounter or the mistakes they make along the way, thereby gaining a greater sense of the complexities and possibilities of any kind of investigation or problem-solving.
The concluding section gives the student a chance to synthesize what they've uncovered within the time span of the project — and the concluding product (and how it will be shared) remains the question for 2015. This year, the students created their own public websites to house and augment with visual media their year-long investigations.
You are invited to learn more about the Senior Capstone and peruse the students' websites and research by visiting the Senior Capstone website. You are in for a real treat of intellectualism, inquiry, and innovative thinking. Some rising seniors have already begun thinking about their Capstones for next year! They're planning to investigate questions and problems in mathematics, special education, and philosophy. Their enthusiasm on the eve of Junior exams is a good sign!


I doubt few of you all who visit this website don't know the tragic story of the USS Indianapolis. So for brevity, and a large dose of laziness I won't repeat it here. When Tamiya first announced the release of this kit I knew that she would one day grace my worktable. She has always been a favourite of my father, and I guess he passed it on to me. The kit represents her, as she looked in July 1945. I always thought she looked dashing in her Measure 21. However for me there was a problem. You see the Curtiss Seahawk has to rank as one of my least favourite aircraft. I simply did not want to build that aircraft. So looking at my references I decided to model her after her November December 1944 refit. So I could include a couple of Curtiss Seagulls.
The model was a pretty straightforward affair. Here is a short list of some of the things I did.
Re-scribe the forecastle deck, and replaced all the deck fittings with scratch built details.
New 20mm anti aircraft position to the bows.
Replace most of the bulwarks with styrene, for scale thickness, and height. There is nothing worse than having bulwarks that only come up to a figures knee. That pretty much led to the scratch building of most of the foretop.
New Masts, these were built from styrene rod, stretched sprue, and brass rod. I was dreading the main mast, but that was surprisingly easy and more importantly, fun.
Scratch built catapult towers, topped with a mixture of White Ensign Models and Gold Medal Models catapult parts.
Etched parts from various sources. But the main ones are TOMs, WEM and GMM.
Painted both by airbrush, and hand painted. Using Colourcoats, Humbrol and Vallejo.
The ship and the two aircraft are rigged with a combination of Lycra and stretched black sprue.
The 20mm and 40mm guns are all WEM castings, as are the paravanes.
The Seagulls are also WEM, but I carved away the canopies and replaced them with carved and polished acrylic ones.
The aircraft decals are GMM, and the flag is Dunagain.
The crew is from GMM. Surely they must be the navies biggest supplier of man power by now?
Two years later, this is what I ended up with. I'm sorry if I got all the nautical terms wrong. You see this language is all new fangled to me. This is my second ship, (not the last I hasten to add). I normally build jets. Aptly, this model now resides in a private collection in Indianapolis. Thanks to you all for the inspiration.


As you go around shopping for shoes, are you getting some anxiety about it? Do you endlessly stare at all those rows of shoes and wonder what to select first? Are you looking for a little help? If you keep reading, you will find the answers you are looking for.
Don't wear sneakers without socks. You can hurt your feet from the shoe rubbing against the skin if you do this. It can cause a foot fungus to grow since it makes the shoe moist. It is better to don a pair of cotton socks and use a bit of foot powder to maintain dryness.
Stick to a budget. If you have a certain amount that you can spend on shoes, then be sure that you can stick to it. Sales and discounts could tempt you to buy more than you truly need and make it difficult for you to maintain the budget. Consider what you need and then what you want, but make sure it stays within your budget.
Do not buy the shoes until you have walked around the store with them on your feet. A shoe that doesn't fit right is something you may not see right away unless you actually try it on and walk around. Try on multiple sizes until you find the perfect fit.
Your feet deserve a comfortable pair of shoes. Your feet are very important to your body, and this means that your shoes are as well. When your shoes don't fit properly and feel right, this can actually cause damage to your feet. This may cause problems in the future.
Determine your arch type prior to purchasing athletic shoes. Try to get your foot wet and then step on a white piece of paper. The impression on the paper will show what kind of arch you have. If you can see the entire footprint, your have a flat arch. If, on the other hand, your arch is considered high, you will not be able to see most of your footprint. This will help you choose the right shoes that fit.
Shoes have to be comfortable. If you think a pair of shoes are going to have to be broken in too much, you best look for a different pair. Breaking new shoes in can be painful and cause you to develop feet problems.
Do not fall for the myth about breaking in your shoes. You may be told by a salesperson that your pair of new shoes just needs to be broken in. It usually doesn't work out this way. In reality, the right shoe for your foot is the pair that feels great from the beginning. If you find that a given pair feels wrong, keep shopping.
Use what you learned. As you use them, you will find shopping becomes easier. You will now be able to find that perfect pair of shoes easily, allowing you to spend your time doing things you enjoy.

Unscrolling Purim
on February 28, 2018 at 5:29 pm
Israeli-American playwright Zohar Tirosh-Polk is a current LABA fellow. For this year's Purim celebration, she reminds us how the heroine of the Megillah can inspire us to heal a broken world.
Lately I've been feeling kind of quiet and stuck. Whether it's Israel preparing to send African refugees back to war zones, the Israeli prime minister mired in corruption, or a sixteen-year old Palestinian child in an Israeli jail, I've been speechless. Deportations from the U.S., the #MeToo campaign, everything in the White House and mass shootings, don't help either. I've been feeling paralyzed by the many forms of violence and conflict around the world.
Last week I was on a plane with my family. In a moment of boredom, I flipped through the airline magazine. As it was still February, one article covered a samba school in Rio preparing for the Carnival. There were pictures of feathers, shimmery costumes, beautiful smiles, and sunshine, I could almost hear the samba beat underscoring everything. Between that and early memories of dripping mangoes and chocolate, all of a sudden, there was life.
I should pause here and share that I was born in Brazil and lived there for the first five years of my life. Samba was everywhere, or at least it felt that way. Especially on Sunday nights on Fantastico (the name itself tells you everything), a popular TV show in the 1970s and 1980s. I remember the women — or goddesses, I should say — with sparkly costumes and feathers on their head smiling at my brother and me from our TV set. It's not surprising then that the first thing I ever wanted to be when I grew up was a samba dancer.
The Book of Esther opens with a six-month carnival culminating with a seven-day lavish feast. It closes with a three-day celebration in which the Jewish people were ordered to drink, celebrate and rejoice. Purim is a reminder that on the verge of tragedy, a great celebration awaits. Judaism, like Carnival, asks us to choose life, again and again. It rejects indifference and inaction, and insists that we ought to celebrate as we continue to ponder, struggle, resist and persist.
Resistance and Persistence
Mordecai refusing to bow down to Haman, Esther putting her life on the line for her people, a community coming together to fast and pray: the Book of Esther inspires us to resist and persist. Over the last months, we have been called on to do that over and over again. Religious bans, deportations, systematic racism, Anti-Semitism, sexual harassment, mass shootings — the invitations to resist that which is wrong, illegal, unjust or even evil, keep coming.
In the face of this onslaught of challenges, we are also called upon to persist. There is much to do; it can get overwhelming; yet we must continue. Esther waited for the right moment to approach King Achashverosh. She took the time to think, to fast and to pray before she risked her own life, and most importantly, she didn't give up in the face of calamity. She persisted.
The Book of Esther is one of the very few Jewish texts named after a woman. But it would be a wild exaggeration to call it a feminist text. Told by her cousin Mordecai to "audition" for the king — as the king "auditioned" young women in his bed every night — Esther then wins the coveted status of queen. Having been her cousin's property, she is now the king's. She continues to obey Mordecai when he asks her to keep her religious identity hidden (therefore she is called Esther, as in Hester, Hebrew for "hidden"), and then she follows his guidance when it becomes clear that the Jewish people are in danger. With all that said, it is Esther who puts her life on the line for her people. It is she who cleverly maneuvers her situation so that the truth comes to light, and it is she who ultimately saves the Jewish people.
Like Esther, many women are putting themselves at risk around the world. Here at home, the courageous women of the #MeToo campaign have allowed the floodgates to open, and the young Emma Gonzalez leads the way toward gun reform. A new scroll is now being written as women battle corruption and injustice, lead resistance movements, and inspire worldwide change. May we recognize them, listen to them and celebrate them, as we all try to heal our broken world.

Sunday Morning Bakehouse owner and chef Caroline Yi is opening her first standalone bakery next year.
Sunday Morning Bakehouse/official photo
Fledgling farmer's market stand Sunday Morning Bakehouse just sealed a deal to open an all-day breakfast cafe inside the growing Pike & Rose complex next summer.
Chef and owner Caroline Yi's debut brick-and-mortar location at the budding mixed-use complex (11869 Grand Park Avenue, North Bethesda, Md.) will offer French croissants she makes over three days, as well as brioche doughnuts filled with seasonal jam.
Yi, an avid self-taught baker who grew up in Montgomery County, has already exposed the neighborhood to her goods via an on-site farmer's market on weekends. Her newest creation is a twice-baked "Elvis" croissant, stuffed with with roasted peanut filling, fresh bananas, and crispy bacon.
Sunday Morning will also serve omelettes and herb-baked eggs, along with toast topped with jam with sea salt and pan con tomate on crusty sourdough. For lunch, there's a three-cheese grilled cheese and a tuna salad with sprouts on brioche (her mom's recipe).
Yi, who started baking cookies for her family at age seven, ditched her career in digital marketing and has spent the past three years test batching and perfecting recipes.
Pike & Rose is also getting another all-day cafe with the arrival of Julii this year, the debut standalone French-Mediterranean restaurant from the founders of fast-casual chain Cava.

The art of eco-friendly sailing
TRIMARAN YACHT CHARTER > Blog > The art of eco-friendly sailing
Adopt a responsible behaviour
The sailboat remains the most responsible way to navigate and explore the coasts and islands. It requires a very modest use of the engine and generates low CO2 emissions, (the NEEL 43, NEEL 45, NEEL 47 consume 1 litre per mile at a speed of 8 knots, which is very low). The sailing boat is also a silent means of transport, no noise pollution.
Sailors must, of course, also adopt environmentally friendly behaviour to preserve marine biodiversity and ensure its sustainability.
The sea is a rich space to be preserved. The seabed is fragile and anchoring can damage certain protected species. Choose an anchorage area according to the bottom and drop your anchor on a light-coloured sandy area.
Limit your landings in protected areas and if your engine is on, remember to turn it off as soon as you have completed your manoeuvre.
On board as at home, it is possible to sort your waste, avoid packaging and prefer bulk. You can provide a container for organic waste, which can be disposed of at sea from 12 miles off the coast. Take a bin bag for cardboard and plastic, and a box for glass. When you return to port, you can dispose of this waste in the containers provided.
This approach to waste reduction is easy to remember and is called the 4 R:
Reduce at source (less packaging)
Reuse (recyclable packaging)
Repair (and reuse)
Recycle (avoid single use).
The right reflexes to apply also on the boat:
I pick up plastic bags and other objects floating in the water
I do not throw any non-biodegradable waste overboard
I use environmentally friendly cleaning and hygiene products
I sort my waste and bring it ashore for disposal
I adapt my consumption of fresh water to what is necessary
I respect authorised anchorage areas
I respect the speed limit near the islands and in the access channels
I fish in the authorised zones, respecting the mesh size of the fish by species and by zone.
NEEL-TRIMARANS, manufacturer of NEEL trimarans, is committed to the planet
The very favourable ratio between the weight and power of NEEL trimarans allows them to be sailed from the first reef.
The NEEL 43 is made up of 30% biosourced and recyclable materials.
On board the NEEL trimarans, solar panels have been installed to be autonomous in energy. Air conditioning, which is particularly energy consuming, has been excluded and natural ventilation has been optimised.
NEEL-TRIMARANS works constantly and assiduously to reduce the ecological impact of its boats by conducting test campaigns to try out new materials that are more environmentally friendly. As an example, NEEL-TRIMARANS uses a French brand gel coat with a low styrene content, its emissions are 5 times lower than those of classic gel coats used in other shipyards.
Sail eco-responsibly this summer aboard a NEEL trimaran while protecting our precious marine environment. Sail away, have the privilege of discovering places inaccessible by land, such as wild creeks and uninhabited anchorages, and take the time to live.

Russia Says It Carried Out Hypersonic Missile Exercises Using a Frigate in the Atlantic
By Holly Ellyatt,CNBC • Published January 25, 2023 • Updated on January 25, 2023 at 7:37 am
Str | Afp | Getty Images
The Russian Defense Ministry said one of its frigates had conducted "hypersonic missile exercises" in the western part of the Atlantic Ocean.
Russia announced the development of the hypersonic Zircon (or Tsirkon) missiles back in 2019.
Putin said in 2019 the missiles have a top speed of mach 9 (or nine times the speed of sound) and a range of 1,000 kilometers (620 miles).
The Russian Defense Ministry said Wednesday one of its hypersonic-missile carrying frigates had conducted "hypersonic missile exercises" in the western part of the Atlantic Ocean.
The frigate Admiral Gorshkov tested the strike capabilities of Russia's much-hyped Zircon hypersonic missile in the western Atlantic Ocean, according to a statement released by the ministry, using "computer simulation" exercises.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the development of the hypersonic Zircon (or Tsirkon) missiles back in 2019 when he said the missiles have a top speed of mach 9 (or nine times the speed of sound) and have a range of 1,000 kilometers (620 miles). The missiles, Putin said, "can hit navy or land targets."
"In accordance with the training situation, the frigate practiced arranging [a] Tsirkon hypersonic missile strike against a maritime target at a distance over 900 kilometers away," Russia's defense ministry said in its statement about the exercise.
It did not say it had launched a missile.
The ministry noted that the Admiral Gorshkov frigate "is a modern multi-purpose ship, equipped with guided missiles, and designed for operating in distant maritime and oceanic areas."
Meta's 'Year of Efficiency' Was Everything Wall Street Needed to Hear From Zuckerberg
"Fitted with Tsirkon [missiles], the ship is capable of launching pinpoint and powerful strikes at any offshore and onshore targets," it said.
Russia's testing of its strike capabilities in the Atlantic Ocean is likely to be seen as a provocative step by the U.S. and its NATO allies.
Relations between Moscow and the West are at an all-time low following Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
Russia accuses the West, which has provided Ukraine with billions of dollars' worth of arms and military aid, of waging a proxy war against it.

Teddy and Svetla had such a great wedding, and they were amazing to work with! It just can't get better than a classy wedding with a rocker edge! These two lovebirds were married at the Deer Path Inn in Lake Forest, and it created the perfect setting for their day.
Svetla was styled by the talented Marek, and was absolutely breathtaking. She wore a sheer lace gown, and totally rocked it. Svetla and Teddy couldn't take their eyes off of each other all day. We loved the way Teddy made Svetla laugh...the two of them couldn't be any sweeter.
Their ceremony was amazing, and their vows were taken from rock songs. It was great! The reception was filled with fantastic live music, definitely some of the best we've heard, and we absolutely love that they shared their first dance with their adorable 4 year old son.
We wish Teddy and Svetla continued happiness and love!

I am loving the Surprise Engagement proposals at Grand Canyon life right now! To be able to be a part of these life events and capture it as a photographer is an honor and a joy. I've been photographing these surprise engagement proposals for a while and trying to make sure that I help them plan out these proposals as best as I can with my insider Grand Canyon photography knowledge. I usually try to only shoot at sunrise or sunset for the best possible light the the sun on the canyon has to offer. This engagement session was shot at sunset on a day with a lot of clouds in the sky. The clouds overhead muted the sun and brought out the saturation of color at Grand Canyon. The palisades are a brilliant pink here and you can see the Colorado River, behind our newly engaged people, to the left. It is spectacular to have a moment alone at the canyon something I fear I wont see again after witnessing this past week at spring break. Grand Canyon is mobbed right now and its hard to imagine being able to have a private moment like this anywhere but I can be your Grand Canyon guide and help you craft a proposal like this. Everyone should have a moment to stand on the edge of Grand Canyon and reflect upon their place in this very Grand Canyon. I only hope that people keep on getting engaged here in the national park and they give me a reason to be included on such a powerful day in their personal life and an amazing time on the edge of the world, this canyon rim. Keep getting engaged at Grand Canyon, I would love to photography your destination engagement.

Jaeger LeCoultre is one of the finest luxury watch brands in the world. While other brand's, such as Breitling and Rolex, are more prominent on the market due to a more affordable price point, their aesthetic doesn't quite compare to the exquisite design of a JLC timepiece. In 1907 Jaeger LeCoultre produced the world's thinnest movement. A marvel in watchmaking, this innovation in horology set the standard for every timepiece that would follow from the brand. The Master Ultra Thin Moon Q1362520 features a sleek case that measures 39mm in diameter and just 9.9mm thick. The Calibre 925/1 movement that beats within the case includes a date and moon phase function, both of which are set just below the central hands. This preowned Jaeger-LeCoultre is also offered in a handsome rose gold finish and wears on a genuine JLC dark brown leather strap bracelet secured by a gold tang clasp for an effortless style.
*All Pre-Owned Jaeger LeCoultre watches are guaranteed to be 100% genuine and certified authentic. All watches are shipped to fit the average size wrist (7 1/4" - 7 1/2" for men and 6 1/4" - 6 1/2" for women). Additional links can be purchased if needed.

Ten Holiday Reading Recommendations!

One of my favorite thing about the holidays is so many authors release novels or novellas to celebrate the season. It's a little ironic, because generally I don't have as much time to read as I normally do, but I find myself adding to my TBR pile anyway. With that in mind, I thought I'd come up with a list of holiday reads…because this is the season for my favorite things, right?
(If you received my newsletter yesterday, you'll have already seen most of these, but there are a few new ones. And if you're not on my newsletter list, go HERE to fix that!)
I'm starting with Blessing & Light by my friend Kasia. She writes romantic high fantasy (think naughty elves!) and packs a whole lot of story in just a few pages. This one is FREE for the month of December!
It's the Night of Winter Lights.
Heedless of the holiday, the Commander of the H'Aren fortress, Captain Torýn Torhdhar, seems to find his satisfaction in work.
Such occurrence hardly surprises his Orderly, Sæbastyn Hyago, even though the young Lieutenant has spent a silent, aching decade wishing his superior officer would pursue pleasure elsewhere—specifically in his arms. But as the evening continues, nothing about it meets Sæbastyn's expectations. Will the Lieutenant see his secret desires realised, or his heart shattered?

I read Yuletide Truce last week, and it gave me the best book hangover! If you like Victorian stories, definitely grab this one.
It's December, Alan "Aigee" Garmond's favorite time of the year, when the window display of the small bookshop where he works fills up with crimson Christmas books and sprays of holly. Everything could be perfect — if it weren't for handsome Christopher Foreman, the brilliant writer for the fashionable magazine About Town, who has taken an inexplicable and public dislike to Aigee's book reviews.
But why would a man such as Foreman choose to target reviews published in a small bookshop's magazine? Aigee is determined to find out. And not, he tells himself, just because he finds Foreman so intriguing.
Aigee's quest leads him from smoke-filled ale-houses into the dark, dingy alleys of one of London's most notorious rookeries. And then, finally, to Foreman. Will Aigee be able to wrangle a Yuletide truce from his nemesis?

Glass Tidings by Amy Jo Cousins was my favorite holiday read last year, and 20% of the proceeds benefit The Trevor Project!
Eddie Rodrigues doesn't stay in one place long enough to get attached. The only time he broke that rule, things went south fast. Now he's on the road again, with barely enough cash in his pocket to hop a bus to Texas after his (sort-of-stolen) car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, Midwest, USA.
He's fine. He'll manage. Until he watches that girl get hit by a car and left to die.
Local shop owner Grayson Croft isn't in the habit of doing people any favors. But even a recluse can't avoid everyone in a town as small as Clear Lake. And when the cop who played Juliet to your Romeo in the high school play asks you to put up her key witness for the night, you say yes.
Now Gray's got a grouchy glass artist stomping around his big, empty house, and it turns out that he . . . maybe . . . kind of . . . likes the company.
But Eddie Rodrigues never sticks around.
Unless a Christmas shop owner who hates the season can show an orphan what it means to have family for the holidays.

Merry & Bright is a new holiday collection from Joanna Chambers. I read all three of these stories when they were first released, and honestly Rest and Be Thankful is one of my all-time favorites. They're all really good, and it's so nice to have them all in one place!
Quin Flint is unimpressed when his gorgeous colleague, Rob Paget, asks for extra time off at Christmas. As far as Quin is concerned, Christmas is a giant waste of time. Quin's on the fast track to partnership, and the season of goodwill is just getting in the way of his next big project. But when Quin's boss, Marley, confiscates his phone and makes him take an unscheduled day off, Quin finds himself being forced to confront his regrets, past and present, and think about the sort of future he really wants…and who he wants it with.
Mr Perfect's Christmas
Sam Warren's new job hasn't been going so well so the last thing he's in the mood for is the obligatory office Christmas party, particularly since Nick Foster's going to be there. Nick–the guy whose shoes Sam has been trying to fill–seems to take very opportunity to point out where Sam's going wrong. But when Sam receives an unexpected Secret Santa gift at the party, he's forced to question his assumptions about his rival. Could it be that he's been misinterpreting Nick's actions all along? And is it possible that his reluctant attraction to Nick is reciprocated?
Things haven't been going well for Cam McMorrow since he moved to Inverbechie. His business is failing, his cottage is falling apart and following his very public argument with café owner Rob Armstrong, he's become a social outcast. Cam needs to get away from his troubles and when his sister buys him a ticket to the biggest Hogmanay party in Glasgow, he can't leave Inverbechie quick enough. But when events conspire to strand him in the middle of nowhere in a snowstorm, not only is he liable to miss the party, he'll also have to ask his nemesis, Rob, for help.
This is the book I'm reading now, and while I'm not finished, it's getting rave reviews. The characters celebrate Hanukkah, too, which sets it a little bit apart from most holiday stories and 20% of the proceeds will benefit The Russian LGBT Network.
Last month, Alex Barrow's whole life imploded—partner, home, job, all gone in forty-eight hours. But sometimes when everything falls apart, better things appear almost like magic. Now, he's back in his Michigan hometown, finally opening the bakery he's always dreamed of. But the pleasure of opening day is nothing compared to the lonely and beautiful man who bewitches Alex before he even orders.
Corbin Wale is a weirdo. At least, that's what he's heard his whole life. He knows he's often in a fantasy world, but the things he feels are very real. And so is the reason why he can never, ever be with Alex Barrow. Even if Alex is everything he's always fantasized about. Even if maybe, just maybe, Corbin is Alex's fantasy too.
When Corbin begins working at the bakery, he and Alex can't deny their connection any longer. As the holiday season works its magic, Alex yearns for the man who seems out of reach. But to be with Alex, Corbin will have to challenge every truth he's ever known. If his holiday risk pays off, two men from different worlds will get the love they've always longed for.
I love Cat Sebastian's books and was *so* excited to see this one land on my kindle!!
Some of Ben Sedgwick's favorite things:
Helping his poor parishioners
Shamelessly flirting with the handsome Captain Phillip Dacre
After an unconventional upbringing, Ben is perfectly content with the quiet, predictable life of a country vicar, free of strife or turmoil. When he's asked to look after an absent naval captain's three wild children, he reluctantly agrees, but instantly falls for the hellions. And when their stern but gloriously handsome father arrives, Ben is tempted in ways that make him doubt everything.
Some of Phillip Dacre's favorite things:
His ship
People doing precisely as they're told
Touching the irresistible vicar at every opportunity
Phillip can't wait to leave England's shores and be back on his ship, away from the grief that haunts him. But his children have driven off a succession of governesses and tutors and he must set things right. The unexpected presence of the cheerful, adorable vicar sets his world on its head and now he can't seem to live without Ben's winning smiles or devastating kisses.
In the midst of runaway children, a plot to blackmail Ben's family, and torturous nights of pleasure, Ben and Phillip must decide if a safe life is worth losing the one thing that makes them come alive.
Kris Ripper's annual New Years book has become one of my favorite things about the holidays. There are a bunch of books in this series, so some of the character relationships will be richer if you've read at least some of the others. Also, the Scientific Method series is AMAZING, so you should read them just for that.
It's the holidays. Basically: everything is awful. As usual.
It's been three years since Davey saw their ex-boyfriend Will. The thing is…Will's sort of the one who got away. And he's also the one Davey calls when they're super depressed, and it's the holidays, and they just want a hug.
What they get is an invitation to Will's boyfriends' beach house for New Year's. Yeah. Boyfriends. Plural.
In ten days Davey finds a kitten, wears a mermaid dress, and crushes on a beautiful man. Welcome to New Year's at the beach house.
You're probably going to laugh at me, but I'm rounding out the list with three of my own holiday reads. Two are short stories, and one's a novella from the Hours of the Night series I write with Irene Preston…
Silent night, holy hell.
Thaddeus and Sarasija are spending the holidays on the bayou, and while the vampire's idea of Christmas cheer doesn't quite match his assistant's, they're working on a compromise. Before they can get the tree trimmed, they're interrupted by the appearance of the feu follet. The ghostly lights appear in the swamp at random and lead even the locals astray.
When the townsfolk link the phenomenon to the return of their most reclusive neighbor, suspicion falls on Thaddeus. These lights aren't bringing glad tidings, and if Thad and Sara can't find their source, the feu follet might herald a holiday tragedy for the whole town.
I was frustrated with yesterday's newsletter, because the link to this short story was broken, so I had to give it a shout-out here…
Things aren't always what they seem, and this shopping mall Santa has a secret that only true love can reveal.
Mackenzie's an out-of-work actress who takes a job as a shopping mall Santa to pay the rent. She fools everyone with her Santa drag, until the day Joe McBride walks into the mall. Joseph Timothy McBride – the real-life, got a soap opera gig and you saw him in Scream II actor. The only guy she ever really loved. Can Mack stay in character, or is it time to strip off the red coat and peel off the beard for good?
And this one is my newest holiday short story….merry merry!
This Christmas, Clydie learns a lesson about looking beneath the surface to take the measure of a man…or vampire.
However you choose to celebrate this holiday season, I hope you're safe and warm and peaceful, and that you've got a couple good books to read!
It's Release Day!!

At long last, and somewhat miraculously, Nocturne is here!!
It does feel a little miraculous, because life threw stumbling blocks in our way, but we got it done. For those of you who're just finding The Hours of the Night, the series tells the story of Thaddeus Dupont, a 115-year-old vampire who fights demons for a secret order of the Catholic Church, and his lover Sarasija Mishra.
Thaddeus works for the Church in the hopes of reclaiming his immortal soul, and in return they provide him with an "assistant" to meet his unique nutritional needs. His assistants are always women, so as not to trigger the vampires more "unnatural" urges. The monks made a mistake when they hired Sara…a mistake that ends up being not so bad.
Keep going for the blurb, an excerpt, and a giveaway down at the bottom. At the end of the month, Irene and I will giving away a $25 gift card so some lucky person. Happy reading!!
It's Mardi Gras, cher, but this year le bon temps kick off with murder…
For generations, the White Monks have treated the vampire Thaddeus Dupont as a weapon in their battle against demons. However, when a prominent matron drops dead at a party, Thaddeus and his lover Sarasija are asked to find her killer. Their investigation leads them to an old southern family with connections everywhere: Louisiana politics, big business, the Church, and an organization just as secret as the White Monks.
Meanwhile, an esoteric text containing spells for demon-summoning has disappeared, Thaddeus is losing control of le monstre, and Sara is troubled by disturbing dreams. These nightmares could be a side-effect of dating a vampire, or they could be a remnant of his brush with evil. As the nights wear on, Sara fears they are a manifestation of something darker – a secret that could destroy his relationship with Thaddeus.
Meet Thaddeus, Sara, and Nohea, the vampire's business manager…
Nohea's car had been built for speed, not comfort. The backseat, a claustrophobic nest of black leather, was more of an afterthought than anything else. Sara offered me the front seat, but I refused, and not because I feared sitting next to Nohea. Sara was more adept with the GPS system. He should be the navigator, while I sat in back reciting the Hail Mary.
Because Nohea gave her glossy black vehicle every opportunity to show off its speed.
Once we climbed up onto Route 10, I eased back. "You agreed to compare notes while we drove, and by now, we've been to three parties. What have we learned?"
Nohea scooted from lane to lane, dodging slower-moving vehicles. The iPad cast a blue glow over Sara's features, and the air conditioner surrounded us with stale air.
"Well…" Sara tapped on the iPad's screen. "In my opinion, Mardi Gras parties can be hazardous to your health."
Nohea gave him a sidelong glance, while I bit my lip to keep from smiling.
"What? You know it's true. The first party Aunt Berta died, and this last one Uncle Whose-its almost did, too."
The traffic around us thickened, forcing Nohea to ease up on the accelerator. "It's almost always the same people attending, too."
"I noticed that, and as hard as we try to go Sherlock on them, we're coming up with squat." Sara's phone chirped, and he wrestled it out of his pocket. With a noise of frustration, he thrust it back in.
"What?" Nohea asked.
"My friends are idiots."
We drove in silence until we neared the bend that would take us over the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. This narrow band of concrete ran some twenty miles over open water, carrying us out of the city. Under the cover of the night sky, I allowed my thoughts to wander.
I found it hard to believe all these events were linked. On the other hand… "Paul and Roberta are not related, are they?"
"Not directly, but maybe by marriage?" Nohea said.
Sara tapped on the iPad screen. "Gimme a minute. I saved the family tree from my email." His phone chirped, interrupting him. "Crap," he muttered. After a moment, he stuffed the phone away. "Whatever. It looks like Aunt Berta was married to Uncle Paulie's older brother for a little while, so there is kind of a link."
"And didn't someone tell us that Aunt Berta was the head of the family business?" Nohea asked.
I racked my memory, but nothing came to me. "I didn't know Brother Michael's family had a business."
"It's not"—Sara's phone chirped again—"dammit."
"What is it?" Nohea glanced at him, brows drawn as if she were puzzled by his behavior.
The phone chirped again. And again. "Fuck."
"Sara?" His behavior worried me. "Who is texting you?"
"Josephine and her brother."
"Josef?" Nohea asked.
He grimaced and nodded.
"What do they want?" I found I didn't really want to know the answer to my question. While I could not begrudge Sara the opportunity to make friends his own age, I would not have chosen the twins to be his companions.
"They started by asking me to go clubbing, but now Jo's freaking out on me." He stared through the window at the glossy black water. "They told me to turn around and come back to the city."
"They are irresponsible." I spoke forcefully, then recoiled, hoping I had not quieted him completely.
He shifted in his seat and met my gaze, brows drawn with worry. "Especially since I didn't tell them we were going anywhere."
His obvious concern infected me, and the vast empty lake around us left me feeling vulnerable, exposed. The city of New Orleans was a warm smudge behind us, and up ahead was a fainter glow.
"God only knows what those two are up to." Nohea's common-sense tone settled both of us.
"You're right," Sara murmured.
Our speed increased, and I eagerly anticipated our arrival back on solid ground.
When we reached the far shore, Sara used Nohea's cell phone to find our destination. We left the freeway, taking smaller and smaller country roads. Our destination was on Monroe Lane, close enough to the lake that slivers of the dark water could be seen from the road.
"Twenty-three thirty-seven…thirty-eight…it should be right up there." Sara pointed past a clump of hemlock liberally draped with Spanish moss.
"This is it?" Nohea slowed to a stop in front of a small shotgun cabin. The house was raised on stilts several feet off the ground. "Doesn't seem right."
"Why?" I asked.
"Well, it's not like we were friends or anything, but the woman we met at the Gretna store didn't look nearly country enough to live out here."
Sara rolled his window down, letting in a wave of moist air. "A little too much corporate shark for out here."
"She doesn't appear to be home." The house was dark, and there was no car in the drive.
Nohea slapped the steering wheel. "Where'd you get this address again?"
"From Z," Sara snapped. "I told you." He opened his car door.
He ignored me, climbing out of the car. I had no choice but to follow. "Let me see if I sense anyone."
"It's fine, Thaddeus." Sara strode up the front walkway. "She'll either be here or she won't."
Short of wrestling him to the ground, I could not stop him. Sara mounted the front step and rapped on the door.
An explosion knocked us both to the ground, and the house went up in flames.

My Muse: New Orleans
March 2, 2017 March 2, 2017 LivRancourtblogging, French Quarter, historical romance, history, indie publishing, inspiration, LGBT romance, Liv Rancourt, New Orleans, Writing2 Comments
Last week we had an adventure. ("We" meaning me and the family.) We spent the week in New Orleans, and I'll tell you what, I love that city. I love the history. I love the people. I love that there are so many layers and nooks and crannies and things to play with – especially when it comes to writing.
Urn at Lafayette No. 1
Plot bunnies are easy, you know? I pretty regularly stumble over ideas that could make a decent story. Some you'll get to read, but most never get off the dream list. The tricky part is figuring out the right setting, the one place that'll make the story pop.
Paddle wheeler on the Mighty Mississippi
I have to really know a place before I can write about it. (Ask me how much fun I had writing the swamp scenes in Bonfire since I've never spent any time in a swamp. Or maybe ask Irene how much fun she had *correcting* my misapprehensions in those scenes. There are no hills, or rocks, apparently.) I have to be able to capture the truth of a place, or some facet of that truth, to make the story believable. To do that, I tend to set my stories in one of three cities: Seattle, Los Angeles, or New Orleans.
This house in the Garden District inspired Thaddeus Dupont's First St. house.
Seattle's a no-brainer because I've lived here for most of my life. Maybe because of that, I take the romance of the place for granted. That said, I have an upcoming super-secret project that's set here. (More about that later!)
Ready for a parade on St. Charles Avenue last week!
I choose Los Angles for stories because, like New Orleans, it has all kinds of angles I can work with. I don't think anyone could capture all of L.A. in a single sentence, or even a single book. Because of that, it's unfortunately possible to set a story there and turn it into Anytown, Anywhere, USA. It's just so much better if you drop in a few details to bring the place alive.
Staircase to choir loft at St. Mary's Church – Ursuline Convent – NOLA. Imagine climbing those steps in a nun's habit…
My sister lives in L.A., so when I need some nitty gritty factoid to get to the truth of a story, I'll try and plan a visit. And if I don't have the time or money for travel, she's awesome about brainstorming-by-text. She works in The Industry, so she's very understanding about my creative craziness.
French Quarter courtyard.
FWIW, I didn't have the same kind of connection with New Orleans when I started setting stories there. I'd never visited, didn't know anyone who lived there, and tbh most of my experience with the place came via Ann Rice's novels. That's changed now! Last week was our second visit, and "subletting a French Quarter condo for six months" is now on my bucket list.
You meet all kinds of people during Carnival!
Thank you for exploring NOLA with me. We had a blast last week, and if you've never been to New Orleans, you really must visit someday! Or, you know, you could check out my newest release, Change of Heart. It's a historical romance set in the French Quarter in 1933, a distant prequel to the two Hours of the Night novels I co-wrote with Irene Preston. I'll put the blurb and buy links below, just in case. Happy travels!!
Preacher always said New Orleans was a den of sin, but of course Clarabelle had to see for herself…
A body reaps what they sow, and Clarabelle's planted the seeds of trouble. The year is 1933, and not much else is growing in the Oklahoma dirt. Clarabelle's gone and fallen in love with her best friend, so she figures it's time to go out and see the world.
If she's lucky, she'll find the kind of girl who'll kiss her back.
Clarabelle heads for New Orleans, and that's where she meets Vaughn. Now, Vaughn's as pretty as can be, but she's hiding something. When she gets jumped by a pair of hoodlums, Clarabelle comes to her rescue and accidentally discovers her secret. She has to decide whether Vaughn is really the kind of girl for her, and though Clarabelle started out a dirt-farming Okie, Vaughn teaches her just what it means to be a lady.
Change of Heart is an Hours of the Night story, an early prequel to Vespers and Bonfire. It's not a paranormal, but a certain vampire may have a role…

The Re-Release of Change of Heart
January 19, 2017 January 18, 2017 LivRancourtDepression Era, French Quarter, historical romance, LGBT romance, Liv Rancourt, New Orleans, queer romance, transgender romance6 Comments
Happy January! I hope you all survived the Holiday Hoedown and are ready for a brand new year. I will confess that I'm finding some of the elements of 2017 more exciting than others.
(*stifles political rant*)
Yeah, um, so okay. One thing I'm really looking forward to is the re-release of my novella Change of Heart. I wrote it last spring for an limited-run anthology, and now I'm self-publishing it on March 1st. So yeah, I'm excited!
I've had the cover art tucked away since early last summer, and as much as I wanted to show it to everyone, I also wanted to do a proper cover reveal. That happened yesterday on The Novel Approach. I showed it off there, and now I can show it off here! See?
Ta da!!! Isn't it pretty?
Since this is a re-release, there are readers out there who may already have Change of Heart on their kindles. The thing that's different, though, is that they may also have had the chance to read Vespers, the m/m vampire story I co-wrote with Irene Preston. I wrote Change of Heart in the middle of editing Vespers, and a certain vampire basically walked right onto the page.
I'm calling Change of Heart an Hours of the Night story, even though it's NOT a contemporary and NOT a paranormal like Vespers & Bonfire. It *is* set in 1933 New Orleans, and it tells the story of Clara, a young woman who leaves the Oklahoma dust to find love in the French Quarter. Here, check out the blurb…
Preacher always said New Orleans was a den of sin, so of course Clarabelle had to see for herself…
Change of Heart is a story about secret identities – because the vampire's not the only one – and about finding your true self. The romantic pairing is different than the other Hours of the Night stories, because instead of m/m, Change of Heart is f/trans-f. {f = female, and if I explain much more it'll take away some of the surprise.}
I've put Change of Heart on sale for $0.99 from now through the first week of the release. If you've read Vespers, I think it'll be fun for you to see Thaddeus Dupont before the Church really got ahold of him. And if you haven't? Maybe you'll want to after you read Clara's story. Thanks so much!!

Becky Lynch will take any chance she gets to throw shade at Ronda Rousey, even if it means taking attention away from the Golden State Warriors.
By our count, at the time of typing this, we now only have 16 more days to wait until we get to see Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey get their hands on each other. It's a match most of the WWE Universe has wanted to see ever since it was cruelly taken away from us during the build to Survivor Series. Yes, Charlotte Flair will be a part of it too, but we are now okay with that.
While we are very much looking forward to that match, we are going to miss something once it has been and gone. The shade. Lynch and Rousey have been going back and forth for months, both on TV and social media. Since the gloves are off on social media, that's where the best shots have been taken. Plus, let's be honest, if the two of them were being judged on their social media prowess, The Man should have been crowned champion a long time ago.
One place we were not expecting Lynch to pop up and throw yet more shade was in the NBA. The Man was courtside for a Golden State Warriors game this week and a reporter caught up with her to ask about Rousey. The NBA outfit was so impressed with Lynch's short and sweet promo that they posted it on their Twitter account, and you can check it out below.
While Rousey might not have been watching the game live, chances are she will have seen the clip by now. The Man calls her a weirdo yet again, which we love, and vows to chase Rousey out of WWE. Honestly, she might well be close to doing so. It's clear that the former UFC Champion doesn't like the way the fans are reacting and once 'Mania is out of the way, she might be gone for good.
In the meantime, we will continue to enjoy the build to this match. It has been pretty incredible to date and is still the biggest angle on the card as we grow ever closer to WrestleMania. Anything could happen in the pair's match on the grandest stage of them all but let's be honest, if The Man doesn't win, there might well be a riot in the MetLife Stadium on April 7, 2019.

New York makes $2 million available to help fight opioid epidemic
The announcement comes after information released Wednesday that 100,000 Americans died from overdoses in one year.
Author: WGRZ Staff
Published: 12:31 PM CST November 19, 2021
Updated: 12:51 PM CST November 19, 2021
NEW YORK — Following new data on the number of overdose deaths in the past year, New York State will make $2 million available to help addiction services and fight the opioid crisis.
"Fighting the opioid crisis is a personal battle for me, and we will continue to do all that we can to boost resources and services for those struggling with addiction," Governor Hochul said. "These first-of-their-kind Mobile Medication Units in New York State will bring this important service directly to New Yorkers in need and allow them to receive critical services to support them on their road to recovery."
The state secured $2 million in federal funding through the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant. The money will be used to help establish Mobile Medication Units (MMUs) that can dispense medication to help treat drug abuse, including methadone and buprenorphine. These will be the first MMUs in the state.
The MMUs can be operated by existing Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) Providers. These New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports certified OTP programs can be awarded up to $200,000 to develop a MMU.
MMUs are able to provide a multitude of services including admission assessments and medication induction, medication administration and observation, toxicology tests, and other medical services. The goal of mobile units is to help reduce the barriers people face when trying to seek treatment as well as increase the availability of treatment.
Funding will be distributed through an RFA process by the OASAS. Applications are due on Dec. 6.
US drug overdose deaths hit never-before-seen level

For those hungry for some new martial arts craziness.
Phillippe, Snipes nor Statham could get this film into theaters.
This type of movie seems to be better than the biggest tentpole on the format.
The format was is officially over.
The visual effects just stand out.
Film mixes grit with beauty.
For most it will be the first opportunity to see the show in HD.
The industry seems to have picked a winner.
I was only going to watch the film if it came on this format.
Solid film. Solid acting. Solid Afflecks.
The only extra is a profile of the character played by Craig T. Nelson.

There is no doubt, that the best way to actually see Mt. Everest and the high peaks that surround it is by doing the Everest Experience Heli Tour. From your point high above, you see the Everest region like an eagle soaring over the mountains below.
The Everest Experience Heli Tour leaves daily from Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu at 7 am. It flies eastward, following the mountain ranges, circling such impressive peaks as Mt. Lhotse, South Col and finally, majestic Mt. Everest itself.
The chopper will land at Tyangboche to visit the famous monastery there for 30 minutes. This monastery is called The Tigers of the Snow" and is the most important Buddhist monastery to the Sherpa people.
Along the way, you can gaze out of your windows in warm and comfort at Everest Ice Fall and Everest glacier as well as seeing impressive Sherpa villages and terraced farms.
There is a stop in Lukla which itself is an exciting experience. This airport was built by Sir Edmund Hillary who conquered Mt. Everest in 1953. This airport is surrounded by beautiful hills and snowcapped peaks in the very heart of Sherpa country.
The Everest Experience Helicopter Tour is the ultimate way to experience the Himalayas. The entire trip takes just five hours to cover the roof of the world.
Let Nepal Tibet Tours and Treks put together this exciting excursion by helicopter flight into the very heart of the Everest Region. There is definitely no better way to see or appreciate Mt. Everest than on the Everest Experience Helicopter Tour!

Q: Property 'className' is missing in type '{}' but required in type 'IProps' I want to pass some classes to child.
For some reason it seems like props are not passing down.
I have parent component:
import React from "react";
import Logo from "./Logo";
import SidebarMenu from "./SidebarMenu";

interface IProps {
  className: string;
}

function Sidebar(props: IProps) {
  return (
    <aside className={`h-screen bg-gray-200 ${props.className}`}>

        <Logo className="w-0" />

        <SidebarMenu />

  );
}

export default Sidebar;

And the child Logo component:
import React from "react";
import logo from "../assets/images/logo.png";

interface IProps {
  className: string;
}

function Logo(props: IProps) {
  return (
    <img
      src={logo}
      alt="project vdora logo"
      className={`rounded max-w-full ${props.className}`}
    />
  );
}

export default Logo;

And I get this error:
TypeScript error in .../src/components/Login.tsx(63,16):
Property 'className' is missing in type '{}' but required in type 'IProps'.  TS2741

    61 |           <Card className="p-4 bg-green-900">

  > 63 |               <Logo />
       |                ^
    64 |

Solutions tried:
I tried to make the className optional, then it's working.
If baffles me because I did exactly the same method in Grandparent component and it works normally.
Why is not passing? How to fix?

A: For Logo component, you have mentioned the props type as IProps and className is required field there. You are doing properly for Sidebar component but not for Login component. (where you are getting the error TypeScript error in .../src/components/Login.tsx(63,16):)
<Logo className="w-0" />

Florida's Sunshine and Tax Benefits Beckon Billionaires
By Krista Potthast-Haynes, P.A. | November 18, 2019
Tags: Billionaires Choose Florida to call home, Boca Grande, Boca Grande Living, Florida is the choice for Billionaires gasparillalife.com, SW Florida Living
While the president is the most famous rich person moving to Fla., he's not alone. But it's too soon to determine the impact of tax migrations on states' budgets.
NEW YORK – In addition to President Donald Trump, a number of high-profile financiers have ditched northeastern states for Florida's warmer climate and lower taxes. David Tepper, Paul Tudor Jones and Barry Sternlicht are among prominent transplants who pulled up roots in New York, New Jersey or Connecticut and headed for the Sunshine State – and Carl Icahn says he's moving his company from New York to Miami next year.
The exodus of billionaires can put a damper on their previous states' budgets, though New Jersey and Connecticut tax officials said it is too early for state revenue data to show whether the 2017 tax law imposing a $10,000 cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions has caused high earners to flee.
The most recent tax data available covers 2017, and the SALT cap went into effect in 2018.
Both Connecticut and New York have been losing residents; Connecticut's population of 3.57 million in 2018 was down 22,000 since its last peak in 2013, according to Census figures, and New York's population slipped to 19.54 million in 2018, a loss of about 119,000 from its last peak in 2015.
Some of the reasons ultra-wealthy individuals give as reasons for moving to Florida include the 2017 tax law change, the high costs in New York compared with the greater purchasing power of a dollar in the Sunshine State, and the warmer weather.
For many, it's not a completely new beginning. Many of the transplants already owned vacation homes in Florida.

services can use to communicate between threads that run in separate processes.
as well as another app called UniqueIdGen.
That demonstrates the interactions between an activity and a bound service.
And enable messages to be passed across components and across process boundaries.
service to activity communication across processes.
a messenger can be used in an ImageDownloader app.
And we'll look at two different ways to implement this.
One using started services where we implement the concurrency ourselves.
that uses the intent service framework.
to concurrently generate a system-wide unique ID as part of the UniqueIdGen app.

Given below is the script that I am trying to execute. I saved the given below 3 lines in a file sshExec and tried running it in Git Bash. The first two line ran as expected but 3rd line didn't run. There is no error or warning as well. So there was no directory change as I wished my script to do.
Why is it that "cd anyPath" is not working in script?
eval "$(ssh-agent)"
ssh-add C:\\Users\\xyz\\.ssh\\id_rsa
cd D:/Repositories/RELEASE_2017_BugFixing/deltagen_teamlogic

A: Both answers above are synthetically correct. Try verifying the path you are trying to access.
Alternatively, you can go to the project folder manually then right click and select git bash option. This will trigger bash terminal automatically; opening the intended directory.

Please email admin@michaelthompsonbooks.com for rates and availability. Gas/airfare and lodging fees may be required and can depend on distance. To keep costs low, additional schools and libraries are welcome to coordinate events to split travel/lodging costs, and Michael can stay in your area for extra days to meet everyone.
Distributing book order forms is appreciated (see Press Kit). Students can order Michael's books in advance and on the day of the event, Michael will arrive with autographed books (great for classroom talks). Alternatively, a signing can be set up as a part of the event (this works especially well at book fairs!) and students, parents, and teachers can meet Michael and see their books signed in person.
