I was thrilled to do a chalk art residency in Cochocton in April and May this year. I worked with students at River View Junior High, Ridgewood Middle School and Coshocton High School and it was coordinated by the Pomerene Center for Arts in Coschocton.
We worked on paper on the floor and the murals that we created were to be hung in the shop windows in Coschocton. The kids were so excited and did a great job. I tried to show a variety of picture from all the schools here.
Article in the Local News!
It was an exciting, although tiring couple of weeks! I think the result was fantastic!


The need for independence from suppliers of industrial gases leads to a search for other than traditional solutions. Small breweries must buy push gas carbon dioxide from vendors, which increases the cost of making beer. Large breweries collect the carbon dioxide produced during primary fermentation as a waste product of beer in a cylindrical-conical tanks.
For small breweries the technology to capture CO2 would be too expensive. But not on the production of nitrogen. Everyone can make their own push gas nitrogen in the microbrewery with minimal cost, using the nitrogen generator.
Nitrogen generators operate on the principle of separation of nitrogen molecules from the compressed air using special membranes made of nanotechnology.
Nitrogen is used in breweries for pushing beer, either pure (when extrude suddenly the entire contents of the container), or as a mixture with CO2 under the name BIOGON (when extrude beer from the vessel gradually over a longer period – beer stored in bright beer tanks).
Prolonged contact of beer with the nitrogen causes a decrease of CO2 content in beer – beer becomes unsaturated. In contrast, longer exposure of CO2 saturates beer.

The Demetrius Doctor Quartet
Demetrius Doctor, 24, grew up navigating the treacherous terrain of the Liberty Hill neighborhood of North Charleston where history and pride are intertwined with poverty and crime.
"The inner city life really shaped me to know what I wanted and didn't want to do," he said.
What he wanted to do was play music, and his lifelong experience in the church provided the framework and inspiration. Doctor attended the Charleston County School of the Arts starting in sixth grade, then spent a year at Belmont University before transferring to the College of Charleston where he fell in with a talented group of jazz students.
Suddenly he was being challenged to think about music in a new way. Church riffs and gospel styles formed the foundation of his musical sensibilities, but jazz was stretching him, challenging his instincts and demanding discipline.
Doctor soon demonstrated the growing range of his talent. Even while still in school he was beginning to play professional gigs. Today, he is considered one of the young hot shots on the scene.

Evaluating pension benefits in divorce.
Once CPAs have become familiar with pension valuation and developed referral sources, they will be able to offer a service for which there's growing demand.
CPAs generally have overlooked the consulting opportunity available in evaluating pension benefits in marital dissolutions. Millions of American workers participate in retirement plans - and a large percentage of marriages end in divorce. When a marriage is ending, the future benefits of an employee's retirement plan often are a hotly contested item.
CPAs have let economists and actuaries take the lead in this lucrative business, although accountants are particularly well suited for it because they have the proper training, knowledge and problem-solving ability. CPAs' educational background in present value analysis, finance and law, as well as their training in examining complex issues, constitute the needed foundation on which to build an expertise in the area of pension valuations.
The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) developed a set of actuarial and mortality tables that are being used in pension plan valuation in divorce cases. Also, there are excellent sources of published information available to illustrate the evaluation process.
The PBGC was established under provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) to provide pension benefits in plan terminations. Its purpose was to ensure that workers earning retirement credit would not lose their benefits if a company went bankrupt or if the plan terminated for other reasons.
The PBGC's actuarial factors used to value the benefits of terminated plans were published in the Prospective Actuarial and Mortality Tables. In recent years, these tables have been used more and more in the valuation of pension plans in divorce cases.
Evaluating the cash flows of future pension benefits involves determining the cash flows' actuarial present value. This means discounting for interest, for mortality and, when applicable, for vesting. As will be seen, the task can be simplified by using the PBGC tables.
For example, John Brown and his wife are in the process of dissolving their marriage. Mr. Brown participates in a retirement plan at work. Determining the value of his retirement benefits is an important part of the divorce deliberations. Exhibit 1 on page 64 shows important dates and information for Mr. Brown.
Pension specifics. Mr. Brown is a healthy male who is fully vested in a defined benefit plan. In a defined benefit plan, retirement payments are determined by a formula based on factors such as years of service under the plan, the participant's average salary before retirement (for example, that of the last three years) and the participant's age at retirement. In almost all cases, the value of a defined benefit plan is more difficult to calculate than the value of a defined contribution plan. In a typical defined contribution plan - such as a profit-sharing plan - value usually is determined by the individual's balance in his or her account at a specific date.
In this example, pension benefits for Mr. Brown's plan are determined by multiplying each year of service by 0.02 (or 2%). This value is multiplied by the average of the last three years of the employee's compensation, which is $60,000.
For Mr. Brown, the earliest date for normal retirement is 62 years of age. However, many plans provide for early retirement along with a corresponding reduction in benefits.
Average compensation for 3 years before valuation = $60,000.
Retirement benefits at valuation date $60,000 x 68.1698% = $40,901.88.
Benefits subject to coverture (benefits x coverture ratio) = $40,901.88 x 0.5598 = $22,896.87 per year or $1,908.07 per month.
Table 4A in the Prospective Actuarial and Mortality Tables presents the PBGC actuarial value of $1 per year deferred to ages 55 through 70 and payable in equal monthly amounts for life thereafter for healthy males and females. PBGC used 6.5% as the interest rate for valuing immediate annuities in May 1992, a rate that corresponds with set C in the tables. (The 21 sets are lettered A through U and are based on increasing interest rates in increments of one-quarter of 1%.) An excerpt from this table is shown in exhibit 2 on page 65.
In this illustration, Mr. Brown will be 48.0932 years of age at the valuation date, so the actuarial values in set C must be interpolated because there is a different value for ages 48 and 49. The difference between the two values (0.2064) is multiplied by the decimal representing the fraction of the year 0.0932) between ages 48 and 49 to arrive at 0.0192. This is added to the table's actuarial value for age 48, 4.0989. Accordingly, the actuarial value of $1 per year deferred to age 62 and payable for life thereafter for a male 48.0932 years old is 4.1181.
Therefore, the present value of the benefits involved in this dissolution is: $1,908.07 x 12 months x 4.1181 = $94,291.48.
The long formula is a more tedious process but it is useful to know because it contains all the steps in the calculations. In addition to selecting the annuity factor (the present value of $1 per year payable monthly for the life of the participant age X), the long formula specifically involves discounting for mortality and for interest. These procedures were included as part of the short formula method.
The mortality tables in the PBGC Prospective Actuarial and Mortality Tables (for healthy and disabled persons) can be used to discount for the probability of the individual's surviving between the valuation date and the commencement of the annuity. This is illustrated below.
Also, each set includes discount factors for interest between the valuation date and the date the annuity commences. For set C, the discount factors are 1.0575 for each of the first 7 years that precede the commencement of the annuity, 1.045 for each of the 8 years that precede the first 7 years and 1.04 for each year that precedes the first 15 years.
The first step in calculating the value of Mr. Brown's pension benefits using the long formula is to find the present value of $1 per year payable monthly for the life of the participant age 62. This figure, 9.5048, is taken from table 2A, "PBGC Actuarial Functions for Healthy Males." An excerpt from this table from set C is shown in exhibit 3 at left.
Next, discounting for the probability Mr. Brown will survive from valuation date to retirement date is considered. An excerpt from "Mortality Table I" used by the PBGC is illustrated in exhibit 4 on page 66.
Mortality discount factor = factor at date annuity commences / the factor at the valuation date.
Since Mr. Brown will be 48.0932 years old at the valuation date, interpolation for that age is necessary. The mortality factor for age 48 is 9,414.1648 and for age 49 it is 9,366.1243. The factor at the valuation date, 9,409.6874, is found by multiplying the difference between factors for age 48 and 49 by the decimal representing the fraction of the year over 48 years. In this example, 48.0405 is multiplied by 0.0932. The resulting value, 4.4774, is then subtracted from the factor for age 48.
Since the mortality discount is found by dividing the factor at the date the annuity commences by the factor at the valuation date, the factor at age 62, 8,171.0711, is divided by 9,409.6874, the factor at age 48.0932. Therefore, the mortality discount factor for this example would work out to be equal to 0.86837.
Discounting for interest between the valuation date and the annuity commencement date is straightforward. Using a hand calculator, these calculations are easy, even for calculating discount rates that involve fractions of years. As previously mentioned, the discount rate for the seven years before benefits begin is 1.0575 per year. Therefore, the discount factor for these years is 0.676141.
For the preceding 6.9068 years, the discount rate is 1.045 a year. Therefore, the discount factor for these years is 0.737849. This is shown in exhibit 5 below.
This is approximately equal to the present value that was found using the short formula method.
The valuation of pension benefits can be more complex than it is in the above illustration. For example, Mr. Brown was assumed to be 100% vested, but an adjustment might have to be made if this is not the case. State laws on various aspects of pension valuation also differ. For example, there are different rules on what constitutes the valuation date.
For the most part, taxes usually have been ignored in pension valuation. Marvin Snyder says in The Value of Pensions in Divorce: What It Is and How to Use It, "Even though there is no dispute that pensions are taxable when received, it is too speculative to predict constantly changing tax rates."
There are excellent sources for developing the skills necessary to evaluate the present value of pension benefits. The most comprehensive - dealing with both ERISA and NON-ERISA plans - and the one used to help prepare this illustration is Valuation and Distribution of Marital Property, vol. 3, published by Matthew Bender. This volume illustrates, on a step-by-step basis, the calculations necessary to determine the pension values in increasingly complicated situations. Another excellent source is included in Commerce Clearing House's Family Law Tax Guide.
* "Valuation of Retirement Benefits in Marriage Dissolutions," by Murray Projector, Los Angeles Bar Bulletin, April 1975.
* The Value of Pensions in Divorce: What It Is and How to Use It, by Marvin Snyder, Professional Education Systems, Inc., 1990.
Finally, the determining factors in establishing the basis of valuation in each state depend on statute, case law and sometimes local customs. Murray Projector, in "Actuarial Involvement in Divorce Litigation" (published in the 1983-84 Proceedings of the Conference of Actuaries in Public Practice), reports this information should be available in the family law periodical for the state in which the valuation takes place. Family law periodicals - as well as many of the other sources mentioned above - are available in law school and county law libraries. CPAs can always ask the law librarian for assistance.
Attorneys, particularly those in smaller cities, often need competent evaluation services. When a CPA has a firm grasp of the necessary concepts, statutes and appropriate case law, the first step in launching a practice area in pension valuation in divorce usually is made through word of mouth.
Attorneys who are clients or have professional relationships with the CPA should be informed of CPAs' ability to offer this service. If the attorneys do not represent divorce clients, they at least have colleagues who do. Once CPAs become familiar with pension valuation and develop a network of referral sources, they will be able to offer a service that is in increasing demand.

Broadway takes a big hit from Superstorm Sandy
Superstorm Sandy, which darkened Broadway for four days, predictably ravaged the box offices around Times Square, with shows losing more than $8.5 million.
Related: Musicians performs for Hurricane Sandy victims
The Broadway League, the national trade association for the Broadway industry, released data Tuesday that showed, as expected, all shows took a hit. One of the hardest hurt was the Matthew Broderick musical "Nice Work If You Can Get It," which lost $538,853.

Since the storm actually affected two weeks of data, the league estimates that grosses managed just $33.66 million for past two-week period, a drastic fall from the same time frame last year when the box offices earned $42.2 million. Attendance also plunged 19 percent from the 10-year average.
The storm, which struck last Monday, forced all 40 Broadway theaters to shutter the night before. All shows were up and running by Thursday night, but the damage had been done, though few expect the pain to last.
"It will come back to its former life, there's no question about it. Broadway is New York and everyone celebrates the theater in this city," said Barry Weissler, who has been producing work on Broadway since 1982. "It's catch-up time."
Most shows on Broadway have eight performances a week, but Sandy forced many, including "The Phantom of the Opera," "The Heiress," "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and "Chicago" to put on just six shows. "Glengarry Glen Ross" and "Evita" only managed five shows. Altogether, 48 individual performances were canceled.
Other shows that took a beating include "Wicked," which lost $490,996, though it still managed to pull in $1,166,275. The least hurt was "Rock of Ages," which lost just $59,209.
Sandy joins other recent shocks to have rocked Broadway finances, including the Sept 11 attacks, which shuttered theaters for two days, and Hurricane Irene in 2011 that wiped away a weekend's revenue.
"Storms will not stop us, the terrible tragedy of 9/11 will not stop us. Theater will continue. It's one of the oldest art forms known to man and it will continue," said Weissler, who together with his wife, Fran, has produced such shows as "Grease," "Chicago" and "Annie Get Your Gun."
The league said that the losses from Hurricane Irene were actually larger than for Sandy. Not only were 66 individual performances scrapped for Irene, but the storm struck during the busy summer, not the slower fall.
But Sandy may have hurt off-Broadway theaters more. The SoHo Rep and The Bank Street Theater lost power and had some flooding, while many other downtown theaters lost power, including the MCC Theatre and SoHo Playhouse. The Canal Park Playhouse canceled all November and December performances.
The infectious drumming show "Blue Man Group" was quieted, the immersive, genre-bending show "Sleep No More" was stilled, and The Public Theater was shut down for almost a week. The lobby at its home at Astor Place is now a collection site for post-Sandy supplies.
Charlotte St. Martin, head of the league, wasn't sure if Sandy would produce the same outpouring of help and concern that 9/11 triggered in the city.
"There was an enormous response and rally by people across this country, and frankly, from around the world, who felt this need to support New York," she said. "I don't know if that's going to happen because of the hurricane, but it sure would be great if it did."

Open Source Initiative Re-projection with Simon Phipps
Simon Phipps is leading the charge to overhaul the Open Source Initiative and he's asking for your help.
"Plenty of people spent time here and on Slashdot throwing rocks at OSI - many deserved - but there's an opportunity to join in to fix things," Phipps said today. "At the last Board meeting I was asked to get a group together to draw up a new, member-led governance charter for OSI."
The issue, as Phipps sees it, is that the OSI was formed in 1998, but a lot has changed since then, and OSI hasn't. The phrase open "source" is becoming a bit of misnomer.
"The growth of cloud computing - even with open APIs and open data - means that liberty assurance mechanisms based only on source code are inadequate to identify the presence of software freedom."
Phipps continued, "And the maturity of the open source market means the 'games' that existing corporations play on the market are sophisticated enough to use open source as a corporate weapon instead of as a path to liberty."
Phipps is the newly elected Director of OSI, and he's asking for your help in making the open source organization relevant again.

Why is VO2 Max Important for Endurance Athletes?
Ohh yes. VO2 Max. They say you are born with it. They say you really can't change it much. Well, what is VO2 Max? Why is it important for endurance athletes? Can I train to obtain a higher VO2 Max?
Remember when you were young and some kids could run fast for miles and miles? You knew you didn't stand a chance racing them. You just had to go at your own pace. It's likely those fast running kids had a higher VO2 Max1.
Two incredible American athletes come to mind who had some of the highest VO2 Max numbers ever recorded, Three-time Tour De France winner, Greg Lemond (92.5) and running phenomenon, Steve Prefontaine (84.4).
Top Tour De France riders clock in a VO2 Max between 76-82 ml/kg/min.
The average untrained male has a VO2 Max of 45 ml/kg/min.
In a nutshell, VO2 Max is "The maximum rate of Oxygen (O2) consumption by the body during exercise."The more oxygen your body absorbs per minute, the higher your VO2 Max. Oxygen is like gasoline on a fire. The more oxygen you distribute to your muscles, the more your muscles can continue to provide power output.
Can I train to improve VO2 Max?
VO2 Max is largely "genetically gifted" from your parents. "So it's safe to say that Tour de France competitors are both born and made.2"
To become a top end marathon runner, a Tour De France winner or the Ironman World Champion you will need a high VO2 Max. In order words, to be among the very best endurance sports athletes, VO2 Max is a pre-requisite. However, you can train your VO2 Max to be higher with simple but hard training efforts.
To improve your VO2 Max, "Warm up for 15 minutes at a steady pace, then ride for a further 15 minutes slightly harder (but at a pace where you can still have a conversation). Next, do five intervals of three to five minutes with recovery periods of three to five minutes. Finish with a 10-minute cool-down.4"
Having a high VO2 Max does not guarantee you glory at the top tier world events, it is a pre-requisite, however, it's not a guarantee. You will still need to put in hard work and train for years to reach your full athletic potential.
Some of us get to compete among the best in the world, the rest get to watch.

A light lunch will be served.
Also at lunchtime (12.10pm to 1.00pm) is a public history talk by Ryan McLane, The Tragedy of the SS Talune and the 1918 Influenza Pandemic, convened by the Ministry for Culture and Heritage and the National Library of New Zealand. In October 1918, the SS Talune was permitted to leave Auckland bound for Fiji and Polynesia even though the ship's master knew that influenza was rife in the city and that there were sick on board ship when it left port. Within eight weeks of berthing at Fiji, Western Samoa and Tonga, at least 5 per cent of Fijians, 7 per cent of Tongans and one-quarter of Western Samoa's population had died of influenza. Ryan McLane has managed a public health unit in the Alaskan arctic; led a clinical team in an Ebola Treatment Unit in Sierra Leone; and provided direct care for populations as diverse as indigenous Siberians, undocumented agricultural workers in California, populations impacted by cyclones in the Pacific, and civilians caught in civil conflict in Guatemala. In New Zealand he has worked with the Ministry of Health, the Southern District Health Board and the University of Otago Medical School. His PhD with the University of Otago focused upon the 1918 influenza pandemic in the Samoas, Tonga, and Fiji. For those that can't make it on the day to Te Ahumairangi (ground floor), National Library Building, corner of Molesworth and Aitken Streets, Thorndon, the talk will be recorded and made available online at: https://newzealandhistory.podbean.com/
In its first year, the Social Change Collective (meeting above) has tackled some of the biggest issues facing New Zealand, ranging from homelessness and domestic violence to flexible working and effective altruism. Tonight's event explores Mental Health in New Zealand, with guest speakers providing an insight into the work that is being done throughout the country to counter New Zealand's rate of youth suicide, the highest in the developed world, with 606 New Zealanders lost to suicide last year. Also, the estimated number of young people experiencing psychological distress has increased from 58,000 to 79,000 in the last year, and all statistics disproportionately impact Maori and Pacific communities. Food and drink will be provided, and there will be an opportunity for willing participants to get involved in being part of positive change. The evening starts at 5.30pm at Bizdojo, 115 Tory Street.

Illinois at Indiana: Game Day Essentials | Tale of the Tape | Keys to Victory
January 2, 2019 Mike Schumann IUBB 0
Indiana basketball is back. Finally.
But not everyone is back. After 11 days off, the Hoosiers will resume Big Ten play on Thursday night without starting point guard Rob Phinisee. The freshman suffered a concussion on December 19th against Central Arkansas and has not returned to practice since.
It is an inopportune time for IU to be without its starting point guard, as they face an Illinois team that likes to play aggressive pressure defense. Already without significant guard depth, Indiana head coach Archie Miller referred to the Hoosiers ability to handle the Illini pressure as the "story of the game."

KEYS TO VICTORY
Attack Pressure with Pressure. It won't be enough to just get the ball up the floor against Illinois. The shot clock will be getting low and the pressure won't let up. Indiana is going to have to take advantage of opportunities in the open court rather than always trying to set up the offense. If he's on his game, it is the perfect kind of setup for Devonte Green, who thrived up to the final minute at Illinois last year but struggled in the return game in Bloomington. With Phinisee out, the Hoosiers will sink or swim with their junior point guard.
Dominate the Paint. Illinois is not a particularly long team and it doesn't rebound well. Juwan Morgan, Justin Smith and Romeo Langford need to relentlessly attack the rim and rebounds in this one. With the Hoosiers sitting at sixth in the country with a 58.6 effective field goal percentage, and Illinois ranked 299th in field goal percentage defense, this game sets up for another efficient night from the floor.
IU's turnovers will be up — but how high? It is just a fact of life against Illinois. They are going to make you uncomfortable and turn you over. Indiana was able to overcome 18 turnovers in last year's home win against the Illini. That number feels like it should be the ceiling. Anything any higher, and this game could be really uncomfortable.
With Phinisee out, it will be incumbent on others (beyond Green) to handle the ball against pressure. The most likely candidates are obviously Romeo Langford and Al Durham. Both have competent handles but it isn't the strongest part of their games. Damezi Anderson is also likely to see minutes. In past similar situations, Miller did not look to the walk-ons not named McRoberts, but Johnny Jager is another possibility.
Knock down the freebies. This one doesn't require much explanation. Illinois' aggressive style lends itself to a lot of free throws. Indiana shot 36 of 58 from the line against Illinois last year, and it cost them the game on the road.
Don't give Illinois hope. Teams like Illinois look for weakness. They feed off another team's struggles against their pressure. At 4-9, for the most part Illinois hasn't been striking fear in anyone. You have to dig deeper into that record, however. They have played a top 20 strength of schedule according to KenPom. They hung around against Gonzaga, and also kept things close for a while against Ohio State and Xavier. But they also just lost at home against Florida Atlantic. Does Underwood still have this team's attention? We should know pretty early in Thursday night's contest.
GAME NOTES:
The teams split the series last year, with both teams winning at home.
Indiana has won six games in a row overall, its longest streak since the 2015-16 season.

Q: Probability of combinations in bingo games Consider a grid of $n$ rows and $m$ columns (in the figures that I attach, is $n = 3$ and $m = 5$, but it might be arbitrary). The grid is populated with integer numbers in the range of [1...90].
How to calculate the probability that one particular configuration will be achieved with $k$ draws?
For example, one possible configuration may be a single line:

or a double line:

How to calculate, for example, that a double line is filled with, let's say, 34 draws?
EDIT
I think the problem might be reformulated in the following way:
Consider a set $A$ of $n$ numbers. Consider now another set $B$ of $m$ numbers, with $A ⊂ B$ (and consequently $n < m$).
How to calculate the probability that exactly $j$ numbers of the set $A$ will be picked up from the set $B$, with $k$ draws (without replacement)?

A: Revised per OPs comments and revisions
If you are trying to get j of N numbers from an overall population of M>N numbers in k draws, then this is just the hypergeometric distribution where the number of successes in the population is equal to n, the total population is m, and you want to get j of the successes in k draws without replacement. Using your notation, the exact formula would be:
P(get exactly j of n $<$ m numbers|m total numbers and k draws without replacement) = $\frac{{n\choose j}{m-n \choose k-j}}{m\choose k}$
This is the probability that you would get exactly j items from your subset A in k draws.

Equating cyber security to digital risk management is a catastrophic mistake. Cyber security is only one element of the comprehensive strategy required to effectively manage digital risk across an enterprise.
Traditional IT departments lack the cross-functional expertise required to adequately manage digital risk across these five areas. In fact, Gartner recently published the results of an executive survey which revealed that an estimated 60% of large-scale enterprises will experience a significant digital breach attributable to the IT security team's inability to manage digital risk with respect to new technologies, the proliferation of connected devices, and interdependencies.
Gartner's survey also showed that one-third of large scale enterprises reliant on digital models and activities will have hired a digital risk officer by 2017. In a related report titled "Top 10 Strategic Predictions for Businesses to Watch Out For," Gartner estimates that digital businesses will require 50% less IT business process workers and 500% more digital jobs by 2018.
This vast and radical shift in IT staffing across industries means that organizations will be scrambling to find candidates to fill digital risk positions. In the interim, IT department staff will lack the requisite skill set to effectively assess and manage digital risk at both a strategic and tactical level.
What can large scale organizations do to avoid falling into the 60% that will experience breach?
The key point here is that the failure to integrate all aspects of digital risk management directly lead to digital crises.
For instance, with respect to Anthem's recent breach that will likely expose the company to liability in the billions, it's widely believed that hackers infiltrated the health care provider's networks by using a sophisticated malicious software program that allowed them access to the login credentials of an Anthem employee. Preventing this event would have involved better data management with sound encryption policies, which fall under the pillar of data leakage prevention.
And the infamous Target breach? It's believed that the architecture of this attack was sequential, starting with infiltration through a third-party vendor. From there, hackers leveraged Target's vendor portal access to gain control of the retailer's servers and from there hijacked the point-of-sale systems. Experts widely believe that if Target had detected and countered any of these stepping stones in progress, the attack would likely have fallen apart.  Better governance policies would have enabled Target to understand their vendor's digital risk, and any potential consequences that risk would bear on Target's brand and balance sheet.
According to a report issued by Online Trust Alliance in January 2015, over 90% of the data breaches that occurred during the first half of 2014 occurred as a result of the combination of human error and poorly designed workflows. The report states these breaches could have been prevented if organizations had appropriate digital risk management strategies and policies in place.
In traditional enterprise structure, digital risk evaluation is conducted by non-engineers who require the participation of the people they are assessing, basically turning evaluations into self-assessments. There are no checks and balances to confirm that best practices are being followed and digital risk is being properly managed for the organization. The need for independent assessment becomes crystal clear. Independent review provides digital risk transparency by providing accurate and timely reporting around potential risk factors.
The staggering instances of human error and poorly designed workflows also brings to light that a significant skills gaps exist within IT departments. This is understandable given that comprehensive digital risk management requires highly specialized knowledge of data management and protection practices, advanced systems engineering and architecture, and defensive architecture for public-facing applications to ensure that the organization has clear and continuous oversight to achieve optimal digital risk protection and avoid breach. Internally hiring engineers of this caliber would be cost-prohibitive for any organization, yet it is critical to give IT teams the help they need to succeed in protecting digital assets in an increasingly complex technological landscape.

GE Is Entering the Next Phase of Its Turnaround. Here's What Will Drive the Stock.
March 6, 2019 5:30 am ET
Larry Culp.
Most investors are probably happy with the job General Electric CEO Larry Culp is doing, as his decisive approach to asset sales has generated goodwill among shareholders. Even JP Morgan analyst and renowned GE bear Steve Tusa spoke glowingly of Culp's abilities at an investment conference Tuesday. (Tusa called Culp the CEO he admired most over his career.)
That's why it was a surprise GE stock dropped nearly 10% intraday Tuesday after Culp said at the conference that industrial cash flow would be negative in 2019. The market reaction signals that GE has entered a new phase of its turnaround, and the stakes are getting higher, along with investors' expectations. Earnings will matter more and analysts and investors will focus more on the performance of GE's power division.
Restoring Credibility
General Electric (ticker: GE) stock is actually flat since Culp took over. Shares were $10.85 was he was named CEO at the end of September and closed at $10.88 a week ago. While that might not seem to be a reason to cheer, "flat" belies the volatility shareholders have endured. The stock hit $6.40 in December amid all the doubt triggered by a cut to earnings guidance and the slashing of its quarterly dividend to one penny.
But from the depths of that doubt, Culp has helped restore management's credibility with investors. He has injected new life into the management ranks and the boardroom. For instance, GE has added a new chief accounting officer and a new human resources head from outside the company. It has also added new outside directors to the board in recent months.
Power Holds the Key
Throughout all the change, Culp's two strategic priorities haven't budged. He wants to reduce debt and fix the power division. With assets sales winding down, that means the power division will take most of his attention—a multiyear effort, according to Culp.
Cash flow in power is still a problem. Culp said GE Power would consume more cash in 2019 than it did in 2018. Last year, that division burned through $2.7 billion. A slower than hoped for turnaround in GE Power could cool off the pace of the stock's gains.
In response to a request for comment, GE pointed to Culp's remarks from Tuesday's conference.
A Case Study
What should investors expect for GE Power? Unfortunately, there is no guidebook to investing in turnarounds.
But one of the most comparable situations Barron's could find was Tyco's turnaround after the 2002 departure of former CEO Dennis Kozlowski, who was later convicted of securities fraud and other charges. The reason GE needs an overhaul is different (and, of course, no criminality is involved). But similar to GE, turning around Tyco involved a new CEO from outside the company, selling assets, and shedding a finance business.
Ed Breen took over Tyco from Kozlowski in July 2002—after shares had plummeted to $6 from about $45. Under Breen's leadership, Tyco sold assets, and its stock quickly bounced to about $11 per share. Earnings estimates at Tyco bottomed about one year after Breen took over, but by that time Tyco stock was up more than 100% from its lows.
Of course, Tyco was an agglomeration of smaller business units and Tyco decided to sell all of its CIT (CIT) finance unit to pay down debt, while GE will keep part of GE Capital and has larger divisions.
But Tyco does offer some lessons for GE. One is the market is forward-looking, and we are certain GE shares will rise before earnings estimates bottom. Another lesson is margins will have to improve for GE's stock to keep rising. Tyco margins bottomed in 2003 and rose in 2004—and the stock followed suit. That means margin improvement at GE's power division will be the biggest impediment—or the biggest driver—of future GE stock gains.
On Thursday, GE meets with analysts and investors to review its insurance businesses, but the bigger event will occur a week later, when the company hosts its own "outlook" event.
Investors should prepare for volatility when that event occurs on March 14. Analysts expect GE to earn 45 cents per share in 2019. But the range of analyst estimates is incredibly wide, 7 to 77 cents a share. What's more, analysts expect GE to report 30 cents to $1 a share in adjusted earnings per share this year. (Adjusted earnings usually exclude things like goodwill amortization and restructuring charges.)
It is likely that GE will start to include restructuring expenses in guidance to promote accounting conservatism. Analysts often view large differences between adjusted and reported earnings with skepticism. So simplifying reporting is a good idea, but it could mean adjusted estimates for 2019 need to fall.
Investors should look to earnings guidance and the power division to hold the key to GE stock returns for the next few months, as we continue to see what a return to normalcy for GE truly means.

Kyle Parker Charged With The Kidnapping, Rape And Murder Of 1-Year-Old Girl
March 29, 2016 at 2:06 pm by Morbid
OWEN COUNTY, IN — Police have charged 22-year-old Kyle Parker with the rape and murder of 1-year-old Shaylyn Ammerman.
Shaylyn was reported missing last week after her family woke up to find she was gone. The last one who had seen her alive was her father and grandmother, who had put her in her crib the previous night before going to sleep.
Also in the house that night was the girl's grandfather, uncle, and Parker – who had been invited over by the uncle to drink and watch a movie.
The girl's uncle told police that he saw Parker leave the home sometime between 3 and 4 a.m., and that he was walking away from the home carrying something. He added that he thought he might have seen a dangling foot.
Friends of Parker would tell police that he pulled his car into their garage sometime around 3:40 a.m. that morning, then went inside and began washing his clothes. They also said he was acting distant and not his usual self.…
Man Charged With Murder After Beating Burglar To Death
March 28, 2016 at 9:54 am by Morbid
AUSTRALIA – A homeowner in Australia has been charged with murder after he allegedly found a burglar in his daughter's bedroom, then proceeded to beat the life out of him.
Police say that early Saturday morning, 33-year-old Benjamin Batterham found 34-year-old Ricky Slater had broken into the home he shares with his young family.
The confrontation turned physical and spilled out into the street as Batterham and a friend fought with Slater and detained him at the scene until police arrived.
Slater was found unconscious at the scene and was taken to the hospital in critical condition. His family says Slater suffered a broken neck. Batterham was also taken to the hospital suffering from facial injuries, and later charged with recklessly inflicting grievous bodily harm.
That charge was upgraded to a charge of murder after Slater's life support was turned off on Sunday morning. Batterham turned himself in to police and is still in jail after being refused bail. Under New South Wales law, a person is not responsible for an offense if a "reasonable response" was used while acting in self-defense.…
Pit Bull Found Brutally Raped Then Hanged To Death From Tree
OLYMPIA, WA – A mountain biker made a gruesome discovery last Monday when they found a pit bull that had been raped, murdered, then hanged from a tree.
According to a Humane Society press release, the biker discovered the dog hanging from a tree on the Department of Natural Resources' property. The dog had been asphyxiated by being hanged from a branch with her feet barely touching the ground. Further evidence showed she was severely sexually assaulted while being restrained.
The Humane Society is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of whoever raped and killed the dog. This reward is double the usual amount offered by the organization because one of their board members chipped in some of their own money.
"This is a truly horrific situation in all aspects," said the humane society's Washington director, Dan Paul. "To think about the suffering this dog experienced in her final moments, as well as knowing there's an individual or individuals in our state who would perpetrate this type of abuse, is sickening.…
Elazar Withers Accused Of Robbing And Raping Multiple Men Using Mobile Dating App
March 25, 2016 at 10:03 am by Morbid
DETROIT, MI – Police have accused 28-year-old Elazar Withers of using a dating app to meet and rape multiple men during an early morning crime spree.
Police say that Withers used the cell phone dating app Jack'd, used primarily for gay and lesbian hookups, to rob and rape multiple men early Friday morning.
"It looks like this guy went on this website and was reviewing the website to see who is out there, who wants to go on dates," said Sgt. Marvin Jones. "And then he set them up to rob them and sexually assault them."
Withers met his first victim, a 37-year-old man, who he carjacked at gunpoint. The man was able to run from the scene and report the incident to police. Two hours later, Withers used the app to meet a 30-year-old man who he forced into the car before robbing and sexually assaulting him. The victim was forced from the car and was able to flag down a police officer.
Four hours later, Wither met another man using Jack'd and followed the same pattern.…
Video: Man Blows Off Own Leg While Shooting At Lawnmower Full Of Explosives
WALTON COUNTY, GA – A genius shooting at a lawnmower stuffed with explosives blew off one of his legs, and the incident was captured on video.
Before I go on, the explosives the man was using is called Tannerite. It is often used with shooters in small amounts because when it is hit by a bullet, it will create a small explosion.
The manufacturer recommends using about 1/2 a pound but, as you can imagine, people often use a shitload more and like to stuff it into things to blow up – things like vehicles, wild hogs, and even barns.
In this case, 32-year-old David Pressley and his friends decided to load three pounds of Tannerite in an old lawnmower.
As you can see in the following video, Pressley takes multiple shots at the lawnmower with a rifle before he finally triggers an explosion. The resulting blast sent debris flying, and Pressley lost his left leg below the knee in the process.
Pressley's friends used a tourniquet around his leg and drove him to a nearby road where EMS met the group and he was airlifted to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta.…
Miranda Johns Accused Of Performing Oral Sex On Two Dogs
NAPLES, FL – Police have arrested 21-year-old Miranda Johns after she allegedly made her friends and family proud by recording herself sucking on a couple of dog dicks.
According to reports, police were initially investigating a sexual battery case involving Johns and her boyfriend, Kurtz Villavicencio.
When police interviewed Villavicencio, he denied assaulting Johns and produced a cell phone video she had sent him.
In the video, Johns could be seen engaging in oral sex with two pet dogs. She also texted her boyfriend images of the encounter, and the two talked about her having sex with a yet a third dog.
Instead of arresting Villavicencio, police arrested Johns on three counts of engaging in sexual conduct with an animal. She was placed in the Collier County Jail but later released after posting her $6,000 bond.
Don't look so down, Johns. So now everyone knows you enjoy some red rocket. Hopefully you can find some solace knowing you're not the only one who got busted sucking on it.
Tasha Hatcher Accused Of Sticking 2-Year-Old Daughter In Hot Oven
GLEN ROSE, TX – Police have arrested 35-year-old Tasha Hatcher after she seriously burned her 2-year-old daughter by sticking her inside a hot oven.
Last Thursday, Hatcher walked to a neighbor's house and informed them she had placed her 2-year-old daughter inside her family's oven and needed help with her daughter's injuries.
The girl was flown by air ambulance to the Parkland Burn Center in Dallas where, according to a GoFundMe page, she is suffering from second and third degree burns across 60 percent of her body. Hatcher was arrested and charged with injury to a child with serious bodily injury. She is currently being held on $3000,000 bond.
According to a Texas Child Protective Agency spokesperson, the girl will be placed in foster care once she is released from the hospital. The girl's uncle said that he and other family members are not being allowed to have contact with the girl.
This is par for the course in regards to Hatcher's children. She reportedly has a history of drug abuse and that her 7-year-old son was previously removed from her custody by Child Protective Services.…
Boy, 4, Dies After His Stepmother Dipped Him In Scalding Water As Punishment
FRANKLIN, OH – Police have arrested 25-year-old Anna Ritchie after they say she killed her 4-year-old stepson by dipping him in scalding bath water as a punishment.
Robert Ritchie says he returned home from work Tuesday night to find Anna had already given 4-year-old Austin Cooper a bath and put him to bed.
The following morning he called 911 after finding his son unresponsive in his bed and not breathing.
"I think my son's died," Ritchie can be heard telling the dispatcher. "He got into a hot bath last night with my wife and she thought [unintelligible] OK. So, he said he wanted to go lay down in bed."
Austin was taken to Atrium Medical Center where his death was ruled a homicide after an autopsy revealed the little boy had died from third-degree burns to his legs.
Anna was initially arrested and charged with child endangerment, but more charges are pending since she has reportedly admitted to dipping her stepson's legs in a bathtub of scalding water as a punishment.…
Three Men Accused Of Trying To Kill A Man And Failing Miserably
LONG ISLAND, NY – Police have arrested three men after they attempted to kill a man who is either a zombie or a vampire.
According to reports, 27-year-old Giordanni Osse went to a home Monday night to retrieve clothing that belonged to a female acquaintance.
The three occupants inside – members of the Latin Kings street gang – were not happy to see him.
This could've been because Osse is a member of the rival Bloods gang, or because Osse may have broken into the home. That latter detail still isn't clear but even if he had, Nassau Police Commissioner Thomas Krumpter said what happened next did not fit the criteria of "reasonable" self-defense.
The home's three occupants – Johnathan Faneytt, 21; Jesus Maldonado, 22; and Jorge Freire-Romero – punched, kicked and hit Osse in the head with a handgun. They then handcuffed Osse and placed in a bathtub where he was stabbed 12 times with a steak knife.
Police say Osse was then tied to a chair for hours and beat "within inches of his life." Afterwards, Osse was put in a car and dumped on a street three miles away without his shoes or pants.…
Man Catfished His Teenage Daughter To Trick Her Into Sending Him Nude Pictures
SYRACUSE, NY – Man, oh man. Do I have a twisted one for you this morning. A father has admitted to catfishing his daughter for nude pictures that he would later use as blackmail material to molest her.
Back in 2013, a 41-year-old man created a handful of social media accounts pretending to be a 16-year-old boy. He used this account to communicate with his 14-year-old daughter and used the account to enter into an online relationship with her.
Throughout the relationship, the boyfriend constantly asked for the girl to send him nude pictures of herself. She initially resisted, but eventually sent him sexually explicit images of herself, totally unaware she was actually sending them to her own father.
The girl grew tired of the relationship and tried to break up with the boy, explaining she was looking for someone interested in more than just sex. Her father, posing as the teenage boy, responded to this breakup by asking for more nudes. When she denied his request, he resorted in blackmailing her using the previous pictures she'd sent him.…
Punk Rocker Had Sex With Girlfriend's Severed Head While Wearing Her Dress
RUSSIA – A punk rocker named "Pussy" has been found insane after he decapitated his girlfriend then had sex with her severed head while wearing her dress.
According to Russian news outlets, 23-year-old Aleksandr U. was once the member of the punk rock band the Easy Riders. His bandmates kicked him out after learning he had a tendency to dress in women's clothing.
One night in July of last year, Aleksandr had some friends over to the apartment he shared with his girlfriend, 22-year-old Viktoria V. According to reports, Aleksandr partaked in some alcohol and some bath salts – a drug we here at DD are familiar with – and lost his freaking mind.
After his friends left, Aleksandr attacked Viktoria with a knife, stabbing and cutting her more than 53 times in the chest, neck and lower extremities. He eventually decapitated Viktoria and, while wearing one of her dresses, performed sexual acts with her severed head.
As for a motive, investigators think that Viktoria was trying to break up with him after discovering he was wearing her makeup and clothing.…
Customer Fatally Shoots Hatchet-Wielding Attacker Inside Washington 7-11
March 14, 2016 at 12:00 pm by Morbid
BURIEN, WA – A 7-11 customer with a concealed weapons permit shot and killed a hatchet-wielding man attacking a store clerk Sunday morning.
Early Sunday morning, an unidentified man walked into a 7-11 wearing a mask and wielding a hatchet. He reportedly said nothing to the clerk behind the counter or the customers in the store when he began swinging his weapon.
"What everybody says is that he didn't say anything. He just walked in the store, had the hatchet, and started attacking people," King County PIO Cindi West said.
The man first swung the hatchet at a customer before going behind the counter and attacking a 58-year-old convenience store employee. What the attacker probably did not expect was that one of the customers in the store is a regular, and he has a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
The 60-year-old man, who comes to the store every morning to get coffee and talk with the employees, pulled out a handgun and shot the man as he was attacking the employee.…

Sep. 16 - It was on this date in 1920 that a horse-drawn carriage loaded with dynamite exploded in front of the J.P. Morgan & Company headquarters at 23 Wall Street in New York's financial district. Thirty Americans were killed in the blast, and more than 400 were injured.
Although the crime was never solved, it was almost universally believed to have been the work of the Anarchists, angry internationalists who believed the only good institutions were smoldering ruins. Anarchist Leon Czolgosz had assassinated President McKinley two decades earlier, on September 6, 1901, in Buffalo.
It was perhaps no accident that the Morgan bombing took place on the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower's departure from England. The Mayflower eventually carried its cargo of Puritan Bastards ("Pilgrims") to Massachusetts, where they became the first tourists in history to visit Plymouth Rock.
It's Independence Day in Mexico and in Papua New Guinea.

Pope Francis: Family is 'the first and essential place of education'
October 15, 2020 CNA Daily News News Briefs 2 Print
Vatican City, Oct 15, 2020 / 10:30 am (CNA).- Pope Francis said Thursday that, among other global goals for education, he wants the world "to see in the family the first and essential place of education."
The pope spoke in a video message to participants in the Oct. 15 launch of the Global Compact on Education. The conference, held at the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome, was organized by the Vatican's Congregation for Catholic Education.
"Amid the present health crisis — and the poverty and confusion it has caused — we believe that it is time to subscribe to a global pact on education for and with future generations," the pope said.
He added: "This calls for a commitment on the part of families, communities, schools, universities, institutions, religions, governments, and the entire human family to the training of mature men and women."
Francis called for an education which placed human dignity at the center. This kind of education, he argued, can promote the hope and harmony that the world needs.
"We consider education to be one of the most effective ways of making our world and history more human. Education is above all a matter of love and responsibility handed down from one generation to another," he said.
The pope laid out seven commitments for people to make, both personally and together, in the context of education. In addition to seeing the family as "the first and essential place of education," he urged making "human persons in their value and dignity the centre of every educational programme, both formal and informal."
He also called for commitment to listening to children and young people, to encouraging the participation of girls and young women in education, to educating youngsters about the need for openness to the vulnerable, to safeguarding the planet, and to looking for new ways to put the economy and politics at the service of the human person.
Pope Francis said that he wanted people to commit themselves courageously to developing educational plans in cooperation with civil society in their countries.
"In this, our point of reference should be the social doctrine that, inspired by the revealed word of God and Christian humanism, provides a solid basis and a vital resource for discerning the paths to follow in the present emergency," he said.
The goal, he continued, "is to ensure that everyone has access to a quality education consonant with the dignity of the human person and our common vocation to fraternity."
"It is time to look to the future with courage and hope," he said. "May we be sustained by the conviction that education bears within itself a seed of hope: the hope of peace and justice; the hope of beauty and goodness; the hope of social harmony."
Cardinal Giuseppe Versaldi, prefect of the Congregation for Catholic Education, also spoke at the conference. Echoing Francis' words, he underlined the "role of the family as the first educational school" and the need to respect "the family as the first institution of education."
"Because love is the basis of education, if you do not learn to love in the family, I think it is difficult to learn it outside the family," Versaldi said.
He suggested that everyone should be working together, pushed by the same deep motivation, which in the Christian tradition is love.
With the Oct. 15 event, the Global Compact on Education "resumes its journey," according to its website. The conference followed a little more than a year after Pope Francis announced the initiative to form an international and interreligious alliance, which he described as a "global village" to educate each child and promote care for the earth.
The Global Compact on Education was intended to be an international, week-long event at the Vatican in May, but was first postponed and then changed to a mostly online event of roughly an hour and a half, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Various leaders in Catholic higher education also spoke during the conference, as well as three young adults — a Buddhist, a Muslim, and a Catholic religious sister — who gave their reactions to Pope Francis' video message.
During the conference, references were made to Pope Francis' newly published social encyclical "Fratelli tutti," and to the document on human fraternity signed by Pope Francis and Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, in Abu Dhabi in February 2019.

Hello friends! Today is a most glorious day in Perth and whilst I gaze out on the rolling meadows and am fed grapes by my personal dragon servant whilst my fictional boyfriends fan me with a palm frond, I thought hey, I should make a list of books that give you all the feelings that Spring gives you. What a good idea.
For ye fellow northern hemispheres, sorry and HAH because WINTER IS COMING for you sorry lot. But for my amigos in the southern hemisphere we're finally, finally, seeing the beginnings of excellent weather and butterflies. Lots and lots of butterflies. It such a nice time of the year so clearly we need to arm ourselves with books that will double our feelings of joy and make it feel like this season will never end.
Thus! I have compiled a list of ten books which will make you so relaxed, sigh-ful and at peace that you might even believe that I have a servant dragon and rolling meadows (I don't, but by golly it is a nice day).
Together with her daughter Samantha Van Leer, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult has written a classic fairy tale with a uniquely modern twist.
Was there ever a book made for a bookworm more so than this one? Do you think your characters enjoy replaying each scene in a book every time your read it?? Have you ever wanted to pull your favourite characters off the page??? Because this book is about that. I love this story so much just because it's made of your dreams. It's a perfect happy book to read on a nice, warm day.
Emma is like every girl in the world. She has a few little secrets.
1. I lost my virginity in the spare bedroom to Danny Nussbaum while Mum and Dad were downstairs watching Ben Hur.
2. I'm a size twelve. Not a size eight, like Connor thinks.
3. I've always thought Connor looks a bit like Ken. As in Barbie and Ken.
5. It was me who jammed the copier that time. In fact, all the times.
6. My G string is hurting me.
7. I faked my Maths GCSE grade on my CV.
Can you ever actually go wrong reading a Kinsella book for some light-hearted fun? I think not. This is actually the only book of hers that I've read but it's hilarious. When a turbulent plane ride leads to Emma telling a stranger next to her all her secrets her life gets a little more complicated . . . because lo and behold she encounters him at her new works place when she's back home. Awkward turtling is abound. I recommend this one for the laughs, the cringing of awkward moments and the wonderfully happy ending to the book.
For some light fantasy with a relatable heroine this is the book you need. If your day is warm and the sky is blue but you still feel like fantasy then this is perfect. It's funny and interesting and Kyra, our main character, somehow ends up with a pig trailing around her as she escapes the wrath of the kingdom. You're just going to love this one.
Cath and Wren are identical twins, and until recently they did absolutely everything together. Now they're off to university and Wren's decided she doesn't want to be one half of a pair any more – she wants to dance, meet boys, go to parties and let loose. It's not so easy for Cath. She would rather bury herself in the fanfiction she writes where there's romance far more intense than anything she's experienced in real life.
You can't go wrong with this book. If you're in need of some sighing and some great moment where you go OMG CATH WE NEED TO BE FRIENDS, this is the book for you. Cath is introverted to the core and the most relatable fictional character out there, I swear. Like, she won't go exploring to find the cafeteria because she didn't do it when she first moved into her college and now it's too late – anyone else just 100% understand that way of thinking? Yes. Quick, go read it and look luxurious sunbathing as your flip through the pages.
Because one Rainbow Rowell book is certainly not enough. If you delighted in reading Fangirl then you absolutely should pick this one up next. Deliciously longer than is companion book, Carry On will make you laugh and cry and scream JUST KISS ALREADY to the main characters as sexual tensions run higher than mount Everest. Man, I need to reread this.
Moving on to another spectacular contemporary author, Simon vs is the book you've been waiting for. It will keep you up on those balmy nights as you sit by the window waiting for Spring breezes to pass by. At approximately 2am you'll finish this book and sigh out that widow and go, damn, this chick knows how to write a perfect romance.
Like there was only going to be one Albertalli book on this list. If you thought Cath was relatable, wait until you get to know Molly. Molly is me, I swear it. This book is brilliant and great to read wherever you are enjoying the sun that's finally surprised you with its presence having been held captive by winter for so long. The romance is unf-worthy and the characters are awesome.
Do you need a good laugh to match how brightly the sun is shining? Well then, VOILA. Imagine you write letters to all your previous crushes . . . and then they read them. CAN YOU FEEL YOUR CHEEKS BURNING? Oh, boy. This book is going to make you feel it all and it's just the most perfect Spring read.
I think this book is such a great story. It's something a little different but ultimately light-hearted (and then you get to the ending and things get a little more real). It ends on such a beautiful note though. Two boys who are outcasts of society – one unable to be anywhere near electricity, the other born without eyes but uses echolocation to see – find companionship by being pen pals to each other. It's adorable, it's thought-provoking and it makes you want to squeeze the characters to give them some lovin'.
There is a rule amongst his kind: A jester doesn't lie.
In the kingdom of Whimtany, Poet is renowned. He's young and pretty, a lover of men and women. He performs for the court, kisses like a scoundrel, and mocks with a silver tongue.
Yet allow him this: It's only the most cunning, most manipulative soul who can play the fool. For Poet guards a secret. One the Crown would shackle him for. One that he'll risk everything to protect.
Alas, it will take more than clever words to deceive Princess Briar. Convinced that he's juggling lies as well as verse, this righteous nuisance of a girl is determined to expose him.
But not all falsehoods are fiendish. Poet's secret is delicate, binding the jester to the princess in an unlikely alliance—and kindling a breathless attraction, as alluring as it is forbidden.
And finally, to crown off your Spring list with some really quite fun fantasy with characters discovering just how complicated their lives can get, you'll be wanting to read Trick. Apart from having an awesome cover, it really is the foolish love story as its tag line states. You're going to love the characters, ride out the rollercoasters of tension (both of the stress and sexual variety *waggles eyebrows*) and slam the book down with sheer joy and happiness at the end running to the bookstore for more of Jaster's books.
I hope you're all feeling suitably prepped to relax and enjoying the lovely weather, I hope your weather is indeed lovely, and if you live in the northern hemisphere you'll just have to wait until Spring is coming around for you, at which point I'll be throwing Autumnal recommendations your way, much to your disgruntlement.
What's your favourite Spring read?
Wow, Kirstie, you certainly nailed it, great stuff!
It's FINALLY spring! I'm so pleased I can now read outside without shivering, haha. This is a wonderful list, too—SIMON VS. is one of my favorite books and I'm really looking forward to reading the author's '17 release as well.
Yes – the warm weather is WONDERFUL!! 💛 Upside is amazing so if you enjoyed Simon I can guarantee you'll love this one 😊😊 thanks!
Thanks ❤ I so need to read even more Rowell because omg that woman and her books 😍 Yes it is! It's the most inception-y of any book plot line! AND the characters are adorable! Bahah maybe Mo from Inkheart will read you a dragon out of a book of your picking!
As I am not big on contemporary or light hearted reads, its no surprise that I haven't read any of the books on this list lol Actually I lied, I have read Fangirl. Anyways! I do have a few of these on my TBR to try out, specifically Simon Vs and Upside of Unrequited. I've never heard of Between the Lines, nor did I realize that Jodi Picooult co-wrote a YA book…it sounds like a real "bookworm's delight" so I need to check into that one as well.
Mwahaha *throws eggs at you gleefully*. I'm such a nice human, aren't I?
Dude! You've got to get onto a few of these, I reckon you'll surprise yourself. Read Simon for sure, you'll love it (or if not I'll give you permission to throw eggs at *me*). Between the Lines is beautiful and she co-wrote it with her daughter which makes it all the more sweet.
