Even though some online sources predict doom and gloom in the real estate market, many financial experts recommend investing in commercial real estate. They agree that the outlook is highly optimistic and investing in real estate will continue to generate hefty profits over time. In fact, you are never too late to invest in commercial real estate. Here are important reasons why investing in commercial real estate is still profitable!
The job opportunities are increasing over the past few years. The significant growth in the job market has led to an increased demand for commercial space to house the new companies. This situation has resulted in higher rent prices and lower vacancy rates. In fact, similar to the growth in retail and office space the demand for housing complexes are also growing. That is because more and more employees are relocating to cities where their jobs are. On the other hand, commercial real estate is valued differently than residential properties. A residential property is usually valued by comparing it to other properties with similar features in the neighborhood. A residential property is valued closer to the properties in the neighborhood even if it gets a higher rent and has additional features compared to nearby properties. But a commercial property is valued for the revenue it generates. Although the property is compared to similar commercial properties in the neighborhood, the income it generates is more important when valuing the real estate. This is known as "force" appreciation of a commercial property. You should focus on generating more revenue from your commercial property to increase its value over time.
Real estate investing works on the concept of cash flow. Whether you invest in a residential or commercial property, your income should exceed the outgoing expenses to make a profit from your investment. In fact, a positive cash flow is important to make a profit whether you invest in short-term vacation rentals or long-term commercial and residential rentals. Real estate is one source that has helped generate the most wealth throughout our history and is still going on well. That is why you need to invest in real estate right now.
There are many strategies for generating income from investing in real estate. Flipping properties is one of the most popular strategies in this regard. It is quite similar to buying and selling. You never take ownership of the property when flipping properties. There are many investors who make a hefty profit from flipping properties. Long-term residential rentals is another popular method of making a profit from your investment.

Mensa is proud to present the inaugural Mensa Foundation Prize to Dr. David Silver, lead developer of the first computer program to defeat the world's best Go players.
Silver was the main programmer on the AlphaGo team at Google DeepMind. AlphaGo, comprising a complex algorithm and artificial intelligence software, became the first program to defeat a human professional Go player in 2015. The results were published the following year in Nature. In subsequent tournaments, AlphaGo won 4-1 against Lee Sedol in March 2016 and 3-0 against Ke Jie in May 2017. Both are 9th dan professional players and considered to be two of the strongest players in the world.
Go has long been considered a grand challenge for artificial intelligence due to the enormous complexity of the game. AlphaGo successfully tackled this complexity with an innovative algorithm that consists of a Monte Carlo tree search that uses two artificial neural networks as assistants, one to guide its search procedure by predicting the most likely moves, and one to evaluate the resulting positions. Furthermore, AlphaGo is potentially more general-purpose than a Go playing program and contributed to the understanding of intelligence.
The Mensa Foundation Prize, which comes with a $10,000 prize this year, recognizes both applied and fundamental discoveries in areas such as brain-related research, creation of tools and mechanisms for advancing such research, or any significant research that leads to an improved understanding of human intelligence, including artificial intelligence. Discoveries must be documented in a major peer-reviewed scientific journal to earn consideration.
The biennial award is endowed by the estate of Kenneth Douglas Thomson (1934-2013), a longtime Mensa member from California. A Mensan for nearly 50 years, Thomson valued the organization as much as he valued intelligence and learning.

The notion that adding vinegar to "release" those nutrients has actually additionally been debunked. You simply wind up with a watery mess that tastes of vinegar.
Rather, acquire bones with meat on them. After that include veggies such as onions, carrots, celery, and just adequate water to cover every little thing (usually 8 or 10 cups). Miss the vinegar! Simmer for 3 to 4 hrs for chicken, somewhat much longer for beef. Season according to choice. If you have an Instantaneous Pot, 25 to 35 mins has to do with right.
What you will get with this method is a very tasty broth that's possibly significantly a lot more nutritious-- consisting of great deals of collagen-- and even more healthy than any bone broth, and it will certainly taste one heck of a lot much better. You can either consume the meat and also veggies (it's called SOUP) or you can stress them out as well as simply consume alcohol the broth if you prefer.
See, bare bones that have no meat, or, also worse, carcass bones that have actually currently been cooked as well as removed of their meat, have just about absolutely no flavor on their own.
Excellent taste AND nutrients come from raw meat and also raw vegetables, NOT from remaining bones.
There are 2 primary distinctions in between bone broth and also regular broth or stock: simmering time and also the part of the animal it's made from (bones or flesh).
Routine broth as well as supply are simmered for a shorter period of time than bone broth, about 2-- 6 hrs. The expedited cooking process lowers the quantity of helpful gelatin removed from the bones, decreasing its capability to enhance the body immune system, recover gastrointestinal issues, and lower the symptoms of leaky digestive tract.
Prior To Kettle and Fire was born, among our co-founders, Nick, tore his ACL playing soccer (oops). His brother Justin heard about the advantages of bone broth for injury recovery. As his routine really did not leave much time to make bone broth from scratch, he laid out to purchase a store-bought, top notch, grass-fed bone broth, because both of their hectic timetables really did not leave much time to make the broth themselves. (You can discover more concerning our story right here.).
No matter just how tough Justin looked, the perfect bone broth really did not exist. He searched for one that was 100 percent organic, fresh-- never frozen-- grass-fed, and slow simmered (along with one that could be delivered without inefficient, confusing packaging). So, Nick and also Justin chose to develop a top notch bone broth on their terms, which is the dish we're honored to provide you today.
" Pot & Fire supplies a beneficial, quality bone broth in a scrumptious as well as practical shelf-stable format. I like always recognizing that I've obtained great broth on hand, without blocking my freezer or requiring defrosting." - Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, three-time NYT Best-Selling Author.

Google invests in open source security by funding Linux kernel developers
In a nod to the growing importance of open source software, Google today announced that it will underwrite the salaries for two developers who will focus on Linux's fundamental security.
The gesture may seem limited, but Google believes targeting the Linux kernel will have a broader impact on Linux's underlying security. The company hopes other corporations will be inspired to do the same in an attempt to clear a lengthy backlog of items researchers already know need to be addressed.
The Linux kernel is the basic interface that sits between computer hardware and the software running on it. It has become the cornerstone of a large portion of the open source systems that have been deployed around the world.
And the issue has taken on greater urgency for Google, which has progressively been adopting more open source software. Google notably contributed Kubernetes to the Linux Foundation, and the system has become a lynchpin of the cloud-native computing movement.
But that work has also driven home the urgent need for greater security in open source tools, according to Google staff software engineer Dan Lorenc.
Google has been generally expanding its focus on security as part of a move to make Google Cloud offerings more attractive to companies holding ultra-sensitive data.
"It's hopefully a proactive response," Lorenc said. "We're trying to get ahead of the rise of supply chain attacks."
The Linux Foundation's Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) partnered with the Laboratory for Innovation Science at Harvard (LISH) on a recent report that emphasized the need for greater open source security, including for Linux.
Lorenc said that as Linux has become increasingly fundamental to supply chains and other large systems, it has naturally become a bigger target for cyber criminals. Lots of companies now sell security solutions, but shoring up the Linux kernel is seen as a way to toughen basic security.
Via the foundation, Linux is maintained and developed by an estimated 20,000 contributors working on their own time. While many of these individuals have some interest in security, Google's move could help make security a bigger priority.
The funds will allow two maintainers, Gustavo Silva and Nathan Chancellor, to focus on Linux kernel security development. The pair have been among the most active contributors and will now be able to commit themselves on a full-time basis.

Q: Connecting Socket.io using VUE or vue-socket.io I'm trying to connect using socket.io (client), websocket.org (server) in vue.js. After I reading all examples I'm able to connect to the socket but once I emit the event BOARD_ID I'm not receiving anything back. As a socket server, I'm using wss://echo.websocket.org and I tried a standalone example and it works.
main.js
import Vue from "vue";
import VueSocketIO from "vue-socket.io";
import router from "./router";
import App from "./App.vue";

Vue.config.productionTip = false;

Vue.use(
  new VueSocketIO({
    debug: true,
    connection: "wss://echo.websocket.org"
  })
);

new Vue({
  sockets: {
    connect: function () {
      console.log("Socket Connected");
    }
  },
  router,
  render: (h) => h(App)
}).$mount("#app");

Board.vue

<template>

Board ID is :{{ this.$route.params.Bid }}

    <button v-on:click="goToHome">Go To Home</button>
    <button v-on:click="updateBoard">Send To Socket</button>

{{ message }}

</template>

A: A Socket.IO client requires a Socket.IO server to communicate. The echo.websocket.org is a plain WebSocket server and cannot be connected to using a Socket.IO client.
If you want to connect to echo.websocket.org you are looking for the WebSocket API. Perhaps you are only trying to use the echo server for testing, and would like to use Socket.IO. In that case I recommend setting up your own Socket.IO server.

Kim Ji is the first dedicated Korean restaurant to open in Preston. We went down at lunchtime to try it out.
It's 12 o'clock when I arrive at Kim Ji in Winckley Street. The little Korean restaurant has only been open a week, but word has clearly got out. The place is bustling.
I'm lead upstairs and offered a table by the window and wait for my friend. The decor is fresh and although we haven't booked, there are tables available.
As I wait, I eye up the other diners' meals as they arrive. There are sizzling bowls of rice based dishes, cute little teapots and lush looking sides.
She arrives a short time later and the waitress brings us the menus. There's a choice of two – the main menu or the lunchtime set menu. We opt for the latter.
At £7.50 for two courses it offers excellent value and a choice of dishes. There's also a selection of wines, beer and soft drinks on offer.
I'm tempted by the Hite – a Korean beer – but as it's lunchtime, I opt for green tea which comes served in a traditional teapot and cup. My friend orders honey citron tea – which is exactly what you'd expect it to be.
Our starters arrive – crispy vegetable pancakes and Kim Ji fried chicken (KFC) served with a soy dipping sauce and sweet chilli dip. The chicken is my favourite – and with toasted sesame seeds and spring onion garnish, it is a world away from the Colonel's offerings.
These are followed up by our mains. I ordered chicken stir fried udon noodles and my friend chose beef bibimbap (which the waitress helpfully told us is pronounced bi-bim-bap).
My noodles are fat and the chicken deliciously tender, with the distinct soy and sesame flavours I had hoped for.
The bibimbap arrives in a hot stone dish, which is used to cook the egg and rice to form a crisp rice layer, beneath the beef and vegetables. It is sizzling as it arrives at the table, but unfortunately is a little burnt.
We finish our meals comfortably full and settle up the bill. At £20.50 including drinks it seems reasonable value for a lunchtime treat.
Kim Ji are also offering takeaway service from this week and plan to offer delivery in the near future.

Bittleston History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The origins of the name Bittleston are from the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. It is derived from the Old English personal name Bita. Alternatively, the name could have been "derived from an official title, 'the beadle,' one who executed processes or attended proclamations." [1]
Early Origins of the Bittleston family
The surname Bittleston was first found in Somerset, where John le Bedal, was recorded 1 Edward III (during the first year of the reign of Edward III) in Kirby's Quest. [2] The Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 list Geoffrey le Bedel in Kent, Martin le Bedel in Norfolk and Walter Bidellus in Lincolnshire. [1]
Important Dates for the Bittleston family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Bittleston research. Another 157 words (11 lines of text) covering the years 1400, 1615, 1652, 1615, 1662, 1750, 1778, 1738, 1779, 1774, 1775, 1786, 1844, 1745 and 1821 are included under the topic Early Bittleston History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Bittleston Spelling Variations
Sound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Bittleston family name include Biddle, Biddell, Biddelle and others.
Early Notables of the Bittleston family (pre 1700)
Notables of this surname at this time include: Henry Biddulph of Biddulph; John Biddle or Bidle (1615-1662), born at Wotton-under-Edge in Gloucestershire, an influential English nontrinitarian, and Unitarian, often called "the Father of English Unitarianism"; Nicholas Biddle (1750-1778), one of the first five captains of...
Another 45 words (3 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Bittleston Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Bittleston family
For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, the Canadas, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Bittleston surname or a spelling variation of the name include: Thomas Bidle who settled in Barbados in 1654; William Biddle settled in Barbados in 1680; with wife and two children and servants; William Biddle settled in west New Jersey in 1664.

like Jakarta, it's motorcycle town. They rule the roads. Almost everybody goes by motorcycle. And it takes me 20-30 minutes with motorcycle taxi to go from home to the office.
It takes slightly longer to ride a taxi to the office. Why? Because the traffic lights are frequent and short-timed, and everybody obeys the speed limit. Yeah, everybody. Of course, it's cheaper by motorcycle taxi.
Just like Jakarta, it's tough to find available cabs when it's raining, and sometimes it floods. But [so far], there have never been any mind-boggling traffic jam-inducing floods. I still can get home, even at rush hour, within 30 minutes.
The air is clearer here and there's still a fog at 8 AM (when I leave for work).
My office's office hours are 8.30 AM to 5.30 PM, but of course the hours are relatively flexible.
Almost every cafe and restaurant has free, fast WiFi. Even so, most Vietnamese settle for their version of "warung kopi" on the street side, with very short chairs and tables. Even when there's a flood.
Oh, the definition of flood here is perhaps ankle deep, and usually subsides quickly.
The Vietnamese language has a phonetic system, where one word can have different meanings if pronounced differently. Try giving directions with the wrong pronunciation, and the taxi driver will just look at you with a confused look or laugh. But they will appreciate foreigners who put effort in learning the language, even if only a bit.
The internet industry is somewhat on par, if not more advanced compared to Indonesia (at least in some sectors). Groupon-type businesses generate real money and traffic, and there is a local site called Diadiem.com which is a directory and maps service, complete with 3D view – so complete, that Google buys data from them. Mobile internet is still in its infancy.
It's definitely not Blackberry country. Signing up for BB service costs you around USD 150 just to register, and USD 25 for monthly service (and you have to deposit 6 months upfront). On the other hand, standard GPRS data packages are cheap and people generally use Nokias and iPhones.
Did I say the food is great?
So far, I love it here. The work I am doing is tiring but worthwhile, and at least I don't tire myself out going to and from the office. My current company believes that Indonesians are good workers and bring a lot of value (there are at least 4 Indonesians in the various branches of my company), and I hope to maintain that belief. I am also hoping that many more Indonesians can work overseas also, at least for part of their lives. Perhaps we're not on the ground at home helping to build the nation, but we are working in the midst of various nations showing the quality of work and life that Indonesians have to offer. That, I think, is also a patriotic duty and I hope I can fulfill mine well.
Yeah, I Came And Watched Vietnam Idol, Live.
Needless to say, we didn't understand a word of it. But it was certainly a fun night, with interesting burgers and fries to boot.
Hey, here's some of the pictures of our apartement in Ho Chi Minh City.

What is the best way to convince people of the benefits of electric mobility? The RUHRAUTOe consortium has been investigating this question since its launch in November 2012, when it was the first all-electric car sharing network in Germany. At the end of the public funding period, a positive balance could now be drawn.
"Our studies have shown that the acceptance of electric cars increases considerably after the first trip," explained University of Duisburg-Essen Professor and RUHRAUTOe Coordinator Dr. Ferdinand Dudenhöffer at the beginning of the project. Building on this understanding, more than 30 car sharing stations have been set up in the past six years in nine cities throughout the Ruhr region, where more than 40 electric cars have become available to users. The joint project was implemented by the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) together with Drive-CarSharing GmbH, Vivawest Wohnen GmbH and Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr (VRR).
At the end of the funding phase, UDE Professor Dr. Ferdinand Dudenhöffer could draw a positive balance: "The large number of users, the continuation of the project with the start-up eShare.one and the numerous public events and media coverage highlight the huge success of the project." Well over one million kilometres travelled by RUHRAUTOe users confirm this statement. The average distance travelled of 10 kilometres also shows the high frequency of use in urban areas.
The publicly funded RUHRAUTOe project offers the broadest range of electric cars in car sharing in Germany: from the Renault Twizy and BMW i3 to the Tesla Model S luxury class, RUHRAUTOe boasts all current models of electric cars that can be rented at over 30 stations in Bochum, Essen, Oberhausen, Mülheim an der Ruhr, Gelsenkirchen, Dortmund, Bottrop, Dinslaken, Duisburg and Wuppertal. More than 4,000 people are already using the services of the e-car sharing project, which is being implemented in Drive-CarSharing GmbH's business model. RUHRAUTOe was a joint project of the University of Duisburg-Essen, Drive-CarSharing GmbH, Vivawest Wohnen GmbH and Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr (VRR). The project was supported by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI – Bundesministerium für Verkehr und digitale Infrastruktur) with funds totalling 1.15 million euros as part of the "Electric Mobility Model Regions" funding programme. The Electric Mobility Model Regions are coordinated by NOW GmbH. The RUHRAUTOe project will be continued under the same name by the Dortmund eCarSharing start-up eShare.one.

Bipolar Hip Arthroplasty (BHA) is one of the options for treatment of Avascular Necrosis of femoral head. Acetabular erosion and groin pain are the commonest complications. We postulate that these complications are secondary to improper acetabular preparation allowing for motion between BHA head and acetabulum.
The current study retrospectively evaluated 96 hips with avascular necrosis (AVN) of femoral head treated with BHA. Here the Acetabulam was gently reamed till it became uniformly concentric to accommodate tight fitting large outer acetabular cup. Subchondral bone is preserved.The mean age of the patients was 42 years (range, 30-59).
The mean follow up was 7.52 years (range, 4-16). The Harris hip score significantly improved from preoperative 39.3 (range, 54-30) to postoperative 89.12 (range, 74-96). According to Harris hip score grades the final outcome was excellent in 52 hips, good in 28 hips and fair in 16 hips. Hip and groin pain was reported in four hips (5%) and did not limit activity. Subsidence of less than 5mm of femoral component was seen in 8 cases. The overall patient satisfaction rate was 95% with no revision. Subgroup analysis showed patients with Ficat stage 3 having better range of motion but similar Harris hip score as compared to Ficat stage 4 patients.
In conclusion Modified BHA using large acetabular cup prothesis for AVN hip has low incidence of groin pain, acetabular erosion, and revision in midterm follow up. Good outcome and long survival can be achieved irrespective of Ficat stage.

Toward-a-stronger-company-registration-regime
21 September 2011 | Brief Counsel
Legislation to tighten company registration requirements to prevent shell companies being set up for criminal purposes in New Zealand will be introduced to the House next month.
The Cabinet Paper outlining the proposed changes was released on 19 September 2011. This Brief Counsel summarises the new regime.
New Zealand's company registration processes are deliberately low cost and easy to use as part of a desire by successive governments to make New Zealand an attractive destination for foreign investment. But the Government has become concerned at recent evidence that the system is being abused, with potential risk to New Zealand's international reputation.
The most high profile example is SP Trading Ltd, where a NZ incorporated company controlled from overseas, was involved in chartering a plane used for weapons trafficking in defiance of UN sanctions. But the Cabinet Paper reports that the Reserve Bank also has concerns with respect to around 1000 overseas financial institutions which have been incorporated in New Zealand in the last three years, at least some of which are being used as shell companies to carry on banking activities outside the necessary regulatory controls.
The proposals will require amendment to the Companies Act and fall into four broad groups.
Require companies to have a director or "local agent" who is resident in New Zealand. The requirement to have at least one director resident in the country is reasonably common internationally. A limited exemption is proposed for companies with directors in an approved foreign jurisdiction (e.g. Australia).
The local agent, in lieu of a local director, would be required to accept the service of legal proceedings and to ensure that the company met its disclosure and records maintenance obligations under the Companies Act. As this concept is new to New Zealand law, consideration will be needed to ensure that the obligations on the agent are administrative in nature and not so onerous as to constitute de facto directors' duties.
Require directors to supply date and place of birth information. This information would not be available for public searching but could be used by the Registrar.
Require all companies to apply for an IRD number as part of the application process. About 80% of companies already do this and a further significant percentage gain an IRD number soon after incorporation.
Enhance the Registrar's ability to investigate issues arising in regard to registration applications. New powers would include the power to:
require someone to confirm or correct information on the Companies Register
"flag" a record on the Companies Office website as being under inquiry regarding the integrity of the information or potential non-compliance with the Act
remove a company from the Register, or a disqualified or prohibited person who acts as a director in contravention of such disqualification or prohibition, and
impose banning orders on directors and local agents for persistent non-compliance with the filing and reporting obligations of the Companies and Financial Reporting Acts or for providing inaccurate information to the Registrar.
These provisions would apply also to limited partnerships.
The Government is also considering further measures beyond this initial reform package. These include:
regulation or prohibition of nominee directors
recording the beneficial ownership of companies
moves around open-ended powers of attorney
identification or verification of the identity of directors and shareholders, for example by way of a unique identifier such as a passport number
dealing with the issues of shell financial institutions, and
regulation of company formation agents by including them as reporting entities under the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009.

Book Review # 183: Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead
Date: July 11, 2020Author: carllbatnag 3 Comments
Death, Animals and Literature
Murder and death can both be very messy. It even gets messier and more confusing when they straddle the blurred lines of morality. This convoluted line is a source of inspiration for a throng of writers who, in turn, dive into the psychology of murder. In his literary masterpiece Crime and Punishment, Russian wordsmith Fyodor Dostoyevsky begs some critical questions. Who are permitted to live? Who has the license to kill? In Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, renowned Polish writer also explores the blurred line.
Shortlisted for the 2019 Man Booker International Prize, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, relates the story of a series of unexplained deaths that were perpetrated in a sleepy quaint village along the Polish-Czech border. It all begun with the sudden and bizarre death of Big Foot, a frequent hunter, whose lifeless was discovered by his neighbors, Janina Duszejko and her friend, Oddball, in his home. There was nothing amiss at the death scene, making Janina conclude that an animal might have caused Big Foot's death.
Big Foot's death was just the start of a series of disturbing deaths. Each grisly death seem arbitrary, wrapped in deep conundrums. There seems to be no clue as to who the perpetrator is. The grisly murder scenes led to all directions and to no directions at the same time. Solving these deaths, to say the least, is a daunting task. But as new layers are slowly unpeeled, disturbing facts and details begun to surface, creating more ripples that unsettled what was once a sleepy and peaceful village. To say the least, the deaths are no ordinary deaths, the murders no ordinary murders.
"You know what, sometimes it seems to me we're living in a world that we fabricate for ourselves. We decide what's good and what isn't, we draw maps of meanings for ourselves… And then we spend our whole lives struggling with what we have invented for ourselves. The problem is that each of us has our own version of it, so people find it hard to understand each other." ~ Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead
At the center of the crime scenes, and recounting these bizarre deaths through her own perspective, was the reclusive and eccentric Janina. After concluding that Big Foot's death was caused by an animal, she immediately reported it to the police. Unfortunately, her initial conclusion was dismissed by the police. With the number of villagers turning up dead, she set out to investigate on her own. The result of these personal investigations are theories that went beyond the normal.
Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, on the surface, moved within the premises of mystery and detective fictions. Woven into the colorful tapestry of the narrative are different themes and subjects such as existential philosophy. The cruelty of seclusion the was powerfully depicted by Tokarczuk through the main character. The paradigm of village politics was also vividly captured in the narrative. The convergence of village politics and mystery subtly pointed to the emergence of a Polish Miss Marple. The parallels between the two literary characters were uncanny.
However, Janina's proclivities show that she is no Miss Marple. She has a deep fascination for horoscope and how the stars impact one's life. She would often inquire about a new character's birthday in order to predict their fate. She also used her astrological insights to solve the mysteries. Whilst Janina's obsession for astrology gave the story a different texture, it was Janina's propensity for British poet William Blake that gave her more character. This cultural touchstone gave the story a fascinating complexion. The title for the book's English translation was derived from one line in one of Blake's poems.
The mystery occupies a healthy portion of the narrative but it was Janina who filled up the gaping holes. Her riveting and conflicting personality acted as a glue that kept the narrative together. She is singly the most intriguing character – she derives pleasure in her hermetical existence, she indulges in astrology and horoscope, she cares for the welfare of animals, and she enjoys William Blake's poetry. Interestingly, she hates her name but it was her voice and her unreliable narration that moved the story forward.
"The human psyche evolved in order to defend itself against seeing the truth. To prevent us from catching sight of the mechanism. The psyche is our defense system – it makes sure we'll never understand what's going on around us. Its main task is to filter information, even though the capabilities of our brains are enormous. For it would be impossible for us to carry the weight of this knowledge. Because every tiny particle of the world is made of suffering." ~ Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead
Central to Janina's character is her keen and often insightful but unconventional observations which were often characterized by melancholy. Despite her acuity, she had a witty and humorous way of describing events and people. Called her closest friend Oddball, her neighbor Big Foot, are just examples of how she fashioned words to project the intellectual capacity of the other characters. There was a Mr. Generally, a Mr. Apparently and a Mrs. Don't You Think, among others.
A sinister and bleak cloud hovers above the narrative. Tokarczuk demonstrated her writing repertoire by spinning an atmospheric tale. The smell of death, both of human and animals, permeated all throughout the narrative, overpowering the chilly winter air. Through the friction between Janina and the hunters, Tokarczuk touched on the fragile relationship between humans, animals and hunting. These subjects have long been the subject of several debates then and now and served to reflect the timelessness of the narrative.
Words were also cunningly used by Tokarczuk to drop hints on the story's primordial message. In capitalizing certain words like Animals, Crime, Anger, Little Girls, Mankind and Soul, she created a secret code which was left for the readers to decipher. They seemed out-of-place at first but as their presence were repeatedly underlined, they started creating a psychological impact, establishing their role in the overall scheme of things. Words can be a very powerful tool and Tokarczuk ingeniously used it not only to obscure the novel's message but also to construct the central character's psyche.
Tokarczuk's prose was excellently exhibited in this narrative that fused distinct and seemingly unrelated elements. She did a commendable job in coaxing the readers into believing the indelible link between astrology and humanly existence. It wasn't an easy task to pull off and an ordinary writer would have been daunted by the challenge. But the 2018 Nobel Laureate in Literature is no ordinary writer and she proved her mettle by concocting an eccentric narrative imbued with meaning.
"Within our bodies disintegration inexorably advances; soon we shall fall sick and die. Our loved ones will leave us, the memory of them will dissolve in the tumult; nothing will remain. Just a few clothes in the wardrobe and someone in a photograph, no longer recognized. The most precious memories will dissipate. Everything will sink into darkness and vanish." ~ Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead
The detective and mystery part of the story was underwhelming but Janina's labyrinthine personality more than made up for its failure to propel the narrative and capture the reader's imagination. Tokarczuk intelligently underlined several issues ranging from the personal to the profound. Miss Marple she maybe not but Janina's eccentric voice and bizarre observations are equally memorable. In Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, Tokarczuk came up with a peculiar literary concoction that was also atmospheric and astute. It is a dark tale that mixed humor, wit, and irony in an oddly satisfying brew.
Characters (30%) – 27%
Plot (30%) – 20%
Writing (25%) – 22%
Overall Impact (15%) – 12%
If there is one word I can use to describe Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead it would be bizarre. I was taken aback by Tokarczuk's fusion of different elements that seem to be unrelated. The mystery I can understand, trite as it seemed. She also threw in elements of astrology, William Blake, and animal rights in a strange literary concoction. They truly seemed out of place but as one digs deeper, one is wrapped in a very atmospheric novel with several bright and intelligent spots. It was utterly bizarre but it was strangely satisfying at the same time.
Book Specs
Author: Olga Tokarczuk
Translator: Antonia Lloyd-Jones
Publisher: Riverhead Books
In a remote Polish village, Janina devotes the dark winter days to studying the poetry of William Blake, and caring for the summer homes of the wealthy Warsaw residents. Her reputation as a crank and a recluse is only amplified by her not-so-secret preference for the company of animals over humans. Then a neighbor turns up dead. Soon other bodies are discovered, in increasingly strange circumstances. As suspicions mount, Janina is certain that she knows whodunit. A deeply satisfying thriller cum fairy tale, Driver Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead is a provocative exploration of the murky borderland between sanity and madness, justice and tradition, autonomy and fate.
Olga Nawoja Tokarczuk was born on January 29, 1962 in Sulechów in Western Poland.
Before shifting to literature as a career, Tokarczuk studied psychology and trained as a psychologist at the University of Warsaw from 1980 to 1985. Post-graduation, she moved to Wrocław and later to Wałbrzych. At the latter, she began practicing as a therapist. In 1989, she published her first book, Miasta w lustrach (Cities in Mirrors), a collection of poems. Four years later, in 1993, she published her first novel, Podróż ludzi księgi (The Journey of the Book-People).
Her 2007 work, Bieguni (Flights), won both the readers' and the jury's prize at the 2008 Nike Award, a prestigious award for Polish literature. Flights also won the 2018 Man Booker International Prize, the first time a Polish author achieved such feat. She won another Nike Award with her 2014 novel Księgi Jakubowe (The Books of Jacob). The French translation of the book by Maryla Laurent won the Prix Laure Bataillon Award for the best foreign-language book translated into French.
Tokarczuk has the recipient of several literary awards. Among her accolades are the 2010 Silver Medal for Merit to Culture – Gloria Artis, the 2013 Vilenica Prize, and the 2015 Brückepreis. Her biggest literary award, however, came in 2019 when she was announced as the winner of the 2018 Nobel Prize for Literature for her "narrative imagination that with encyclopedic passion represents the crossing of boundaries as a form of life"
Since 1998, Tokarczuk resided in the village of Krajanów, along the Polish-Czech border near Nowa Ruda. She currently manages her private publishing company Ruta and is one of the hosts for the annual Literary Heights Festival.

Wonderful review! This has been on my TBR for a while, and your review reminded me how much I want to get to this novel. And I really like how you included the author's background in your review! It's interesting that she originally studied psychology, and that the book is strong in its character development – perhaps the author drew from her background there.
Thank you! A fellow book blogger gave me the idea of writing a bit of information about the authors. I am glad I did because it made me learn and understand their motivations, from the palpable to the obscure. 🙂 I hope you get to read the book for I am interested to read your thoughts on it.
