Until Callum Royal appears, plucking Ella out of poverty and tossing her into his posh mansion among his five sons who all hate her. Each Royal boy is more magnetic than the last, but none as captivating as Reed Royal, the boy who is determined to send her back to the slums she came from.
Reed doesn't want her. He says she doesn't belong with the Royals.

Their chemistry is smoking hot, but Ivy knows that Ren has always valued his duty to the Order above all else—he could never touch her if he knew the truth. That is, if he let her live at all. Yet how can she live with herself if she lies to him? But as the Fae Prince begins to close in, intent on permanently opening the gates to the Otherworld, Ivy is running out of options.

Review : Destined for Doon by Carey Corp & Lorie Langdon
Source: Own
In this sequel to Doon, Kenna Reid realizes she made a horrible mistake—choosing to follow her dreams of Broadway instead of staying in the enchanted land of Doon. To make everything worse, she's received her Calling—proof she and Duncan are each other's one true love—and it's pure torment, especially when visions of the very alluring Doonish prince appear right before she goes on stage. So when Duncan tells Kenna that Doon needs her, she doesn't have to think twice. But even if Kenna can defeat the evil threatening to eliminate Doon, her happily ever after may still be in peril.
One-word Review: FANTASTICAL
Reading Tune: Outlander - Main Title Theme by Bear McCreary ft. Raya Yarbrough
Called to return, destined to rule.
I glided down the backstage hallway with the sort of stealth that would've made my best friend proud.
Duncan MacCrae leaning against the edge of my dressing table holding a duffel bag. But I knew from experience it wasn't really him. It was a Calling delusion, a manifestation of my subconscious longing for my one true love -- a boy who was literally a world away. --page 11
I enjoyed the Doon, the first book of the series as it reminded me of a sort of YA version of Outlander. This second book, Destined for Doon, wasn't too bad either. The plot was definitely something up my alley. Hot, hulking, warrior prince, from another dimension/world, travels to this world to retrieve the the Queen's best friend, and Broadway addict, to defeat a great evil ... Only, the girl shattered the Prince's heart to return to her world and follow her dreams of starring onstage. Shattered by heartbreak and abandonment, Prince Duncan wants nothing to do with Mackenna, who is remorseful by her decision to leave him and torn between following her dreams and staying in Doon.
Giddy with shock, I whispered, "What are you doing here?
I waited for words of love, a confession that he couldn't exist without me any more than I could live without him, reassurance that he realized my leaving him on the Brig o' Doon had been at the expense of my own heart, and the promise that we would never be apart again. --page 12
The pacing of Destined for Doon was perfectly attuned with the storyline. Never felt bogged down by a slow trot. There was romantic tension, action, and more to keep the story flowing. Corp's and Langdon's writing and world-building was just as fun and fantastical as in Doon. As we all known, sequels rarely make the cut in comparison to its predecessor. Fortunately, Destined for Doon didn't disappoint.
All in all, if you enjoyed Doon then you will enjoyed its sequel. Destined for Doon is romantic, wondrous and entertaining. Worth the time to read. I will be reviewing Shades of Doon soon.
Character Breakdown:
MacKenna Reid -- Feisty, stubborn, loyal and as independent as ever.
Duncan MacCrea -- Infuriatingly stoic, stubborn, hot with a dash of Cro-Magnon-Shriek.
About a third of the way down, I called out, "I'm on my way."
Duncan groaned before bellowing, "I said no! Stay where you are. Thas an order!"
"You're not the boss of me, you stupid ogre!" -- page 80

Review : The Madman's Daughter by Megan Sheperd
For fans of Libba Bray, this first book in a gothic suspense trilogy is inspired by H. G. Wells'sThe Island of Dr. Moreau and has been hailed by New York Times bestseller Carrie Ryan as having "beautiful writing, breakneck pacing, a pulse-pounding mystery, and an irresistible romance."
Following accusations that her scientist father gruesomely experimented on animals, sixteen-year-old Juliet watched as her family and her genteel life in London crumbled around her—and only recently has she managed to piece her world back together. But when Juliet learns her father is still alive and working on a remote tropical island, she is determined to find out if the old accusations are true. Accompanied by her father's handsome young assistant, Montgomery, and an enigmatic castaway, Edward, Juliet travels to the island, only to discover the depths of her father's insanity. Torn between horror and scientific curiosity, Juliet knows she must end her father's dangerous experiments and escape her jungle prison before it's too late. Yet as the island falls into chaos, she discovers the extent of her father's genius—and madness—in her own blood.
One-word Review: CREEPY
Reading Tune: Devil's Playground by The Rigs
In the darkest places, even love is deadly.
The basement hallways in King's College of Medical Research were dark, even in the daytime.
Going into The Madman's Daughter I figured the story would play on Frankenstein themes with a YA twist. And I was fortuitously correct! On that note, the plot was intriguing, to say the least. Abandoned by her father and orphaned by her mother, a teen girl, Juliet, works nights in a creepy medical school cleaning blood, guts and dirt in order to survive. Once a renowned doctor, her father lost their prestigious family everything - fortune, home, reputation. Then disappeared.
Until somewhere from their past resurfaces and sets Juliet down a dark path.
The Madman's Daughter's pacing was perfecting in tuned with the progression of the story. Not once did I feel bogged down or hyperventilating by the pace of the story. I liked Sheperd's writing. The language was up to par with the era the story was written in. The world-building and the details were sown very well. I was drawn into the story.
All in all, I enjoyed The Madman's Daughter on the plane rides to and from ALA Annual Conference 2016. A gothic horror, The Madman's Daughter was dark and strange with a dash of romance. Having said that, I will finishing the trilogy in the near future and recommend it to anyone who is willing to read it.
The next afternoon I found a lidded bowl full of live worms and roaches outside my door with a note written in a gentleman's handwriting. -- page 90
The characters were well fleshed out. There was not the ambiance of lacking, or flat, monotonous characters. Sheperd's characters had flavor, life. And their dynamic ran like a well oiled machine.
Juliet Moreau - I enjoyed her character but at times Juliet annoyed the hell out of me. She could be meek and so buzz-headed when it came James and Prince. But she made a somewhat interesting character -- in that she was a bit strange, and dark, and didn't quite fit in.
On the table beside me was the set of operating instruments. I wrapped my hand around the handle of he ax, normally used for separating the sternum of cadavers. I too a deep breath, focusing on the rabbit's neck. In a movement I knew had to be fast and hard, I brought down the ax.
The rabbit's screaming stopped. -- page 20
Montgomery James - Smart childhood friend, first love. Loyal to a fault - literally, to the one person he shouldn't be.
He'd been our servant, I told myself. I didn't owe him anything. But that was a lie. Montgomery and I were bound together by our past. This was the boy who had secretly taught me biology because my father wouldn't. Who'd told me fairy tales late at night to distract me from the screams coming from the laboratory. -- page 36
Dr. Henri Moreau - A selfish, terrible, mysterious father. And bat-shit crazy . . . Or is he?
"Oh, and Juliet," he said. I turned back. Half of his face was thrown in deep shadow, while the whites of his eyes gleamed in the distant lights from the salon. "I'll be working in the laboratory late tonight. I've a good start on the new specimens. Don't be alarmed if you're awoken. The animals--they screams, you know. An unfortunate effect of vivisection. It keeps the whole household up". -- page 170
Edward Prince - Dashingly mysterious, passionate with a secret.
He leaned to the side and coughed, and then his hand found mine. He squeezed the life out of it. "Juliet . . . you looked even more beautiful when I thought I was dying." -- page 111
Here is one of my favorite quotes from The Madman's Daughter:
Juliet, he'd called me. He'd dropped the pretense of using my surname. I studied the waves beyond our hands, trying to work out the equation of my emotions. Since I'd seen him gain, in that room at the Blur Boar Inn, there'd been a tightness inside my chest whenever he was around, like string lashed around my heart. -- page 75
New York Times bestselling author Megan Shepherd grew up in her family's independent bookstore in the Blue Ridge Mountains. She is the author of the acclaimed young adult series THE MADMAN'S DAUGHTER and THE CAGE, as well as the middle grade novel THE SECRET HORSES OF BRIAR HILL. She now lives and writes on a 125-year-old farm outside Asheville, North Carolina, with her husband, two cats, and an especially scruffy dog.

King's Cage by Victoria Aveyard
In this breathless third installment to Victoria Aveyard's bestselling Red Queen series, allegiances are tested on every side. And when the Lightning Girl's spark is gone, who will light the way for the rebellion?
Mare Barrow is a prisoner, powerless without her lightning, tormented by her lethal mistakes. She lives at the mercy of a boy she once loved, a boy made of lies and betrayal. Now a king, Maven Calore continues weaving his dead mother's web in an attempt to maintain control over his country—and his prisoner.
As Mare bears the weight of Silent Stone in the palace, her once-ragtag band of newbloods and Reds continue organizing, training, and expanding. They prepare for war, no longer able to linger in the shadows. And Cal, the exiled prince with his own claim on Mare's heart, will stop at nothing to bring her back.
When blood turns on blood, and ability on ability, there may be no one left to put out the fire—leaving Norta as Mare knows it to burn all the way down.
Victoria Aveyard was born and raised in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, a small town known only for the worst traffic rotary in the continental United States. She moved to Los Angeles to earn a BFA in screenwriting at the University of Southern California. She currently splits her time between the East and West coasts. As an author and screenwriter, she uses her career as an excuse to read too many books and watch too many movies. You can visit her online at www.victoriaaveyard.com.
Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just flip through your current read to a random page -- or not -- and share two teaser quotes from somewhere on said page.
This week my Teaser Tuesday quotes will be taken from my current read, The Madman's Daughter by Mean Sheperd.
Teaser #1:
"No one questions the hand of a doctor performing such procedures. No one calls it butchery--it is science, and no different from what transpires behind the door of m own laboratory. For it is surgery I perform. Grafting of skin, setting of bones. A more complex scale, mind you. There is a most fascinating procedure, you know, I have only recently perfected, wherein I separate the sternum . . ."
His explanations continued. Examples, details, complications of his work. They made my throat go dry and my mind whirl. He had really done it.
My father had played God and won. - page 236
He turned and hurled the pick against the back wall, where it dented the wood with a thud. I threw my hands over my ears, pressing my eyes shut. But I felt his presence in front of me, coldness and scars. His hands covered mine, drifting into my hair., his fingers running along my scalp. "I loved you the first moment I saw you. Helplessly. Passionately. I love you more than he does." His breath was just inches from my own. - page 402
What teasers are you sharing this week?

Review : The Cresswell Plot by Eliza Wass

redpajama_set_name: RedPajamaCommonCrawl


Further integration could in fact dominate newspaper headlines on the eurozone in 2013, with markets still slavishly following every twist and turn at meetings between EU leaders.
Barclays economists expect the discussions to be 'lively and chaotic', potentially leading to renewed market tensions.
In particular, European Council president Herman Van Rompuy is due to provide a timetable on closer fiscal policy coordination among eurozone members at a June meeting.
History, however, seems likely to mark 1.1.13 as the day when the Fiscal Compact, or Fiscal Stability Treaty as it is now to be known, came into force – building on the yet-to-be-completely-finalized ESM Treaty, and the still-to-be-agreed arrangements for the approved Financial Transaction Tax... a new type of sovereign state, up to now lacking any trace of democracy or citizen consent, or so far, an identifiable individual despot or tyrant at its head. Thus we are denied a discernible hate figure to focus our comments of contempt; however, as befits such a collectivist conspiracy, there is no lack of high-profile placemen and placewomen to bear the blame.
These moves greatly increase the financial power of the European Union. The fact that there is to be a financial transaction tax will help provide a new multi-national tax for the European Union–this will make the EU more and more like the USA and less and less like the original 13 USA colonies.
Herman Van Rompuy is that same leader that last year claimed that were would not be a "United States of Europe" (see On 'Europe Day' Van Rompuy says EU 'Never to become the United States of Europe,' Yet Farage Says Dictatorship Planned). Yet, he keeps promoting more unification in Europe and giving more power to central European authorities. And Europe, despite its bumps, is moving towards greater unity (though ultimately, it will be more of a dictatorship than what has typically been seen in the U.S. of A.). And more and more news reports show that, despite a lot of Euro-skeptics, that Europe is moving in the direction that Bible prophecy indicates that it must.
Eventually, Europe will end up with a dictatorial leader (Revelation 13). And while now is not quite yet the dictator's time, despite expected unification problems (Daniel 2:40-43), a major dictator in Europe (whom I still do not anticipate at this time will be Herman Van Rompuy) will rise up (Revelation 13:1-8), Europe will reorganize (Revelation 17:12-13), and become the final King of the North, European Beast power of Bible prophecy (Daniel 11:21-44).
And this will not be good for the United States of America (nor the British), and ultimately not the Europeans (Revelation 18:1-8).

Triple Negative Breast Cancer Risk Higher For Some Ethnicities
Women of color and younger women have higher relative odds of developing aggressive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), according to findings from a study that included data on more than a million women with cancer held in the United States Cancer Statistics (USCS) database. The new study, involving women across the U.S., supports smaller-scale, and largely state-restricted studies that have previously pointed to racial disparities in TNBC.
TNBC has a poor prognosis, and doesn't respond to hormone therapy or targeted treatments, so it is important to understand which individuals are at a relatively higher risk of developing the disease, and why, noted research lead Lia Scott PhD, MPH, at Georgia State University School of Public Health. "With the advent and availability of more comprehensive cancer data, such as the United States Cancer Statistics database, it is important that we continue to explore disparities in order to better inform practice and policy around screenable cancers like breast cancer. We hope that this update on the epidemiology of triple-negative breast cancer can provide a basis to further explore contributing factors in future research."
Scott and colleagues report their findings today in Cancer, in a paper titled, "Update on Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Disparities for the United States: A Population-Based Study from the United States Cancer Statistics Database, 2010 Through 2014."
Figures suggest that triple-negative breast cancer accounts for approximately 15% of all breast cancer cases, and is associated with aggressive histology, poorer prognosis, and shorter survival. TNBC is also unresponsive to hormone therapy, the authors explained. Prior studies have also indicated that younger women, or those of African-American, and non-Hispanic black (NHB) ethnicity have a higher relative risk of TNBC. Such racial disparities persist even after accounting for known risk factors, particularly between non-Hispanic white (NHW) and NHB populations, the researchers continued. "The focus on TNBC is due to its aggressive nature and poor prognosis, and therefore it is imperative to continue identifying risk factors, whether environmental or genetic, that exacerbate disparities in breast cancer diagnosis to develop and implement more efficacious population-based prevention strategies."
Scott et al., evaluated TNBC cases put into the USCS database between 2010 and 2014, including women across 39 states for which there was complete data. The USCS database is a population-based surveillance system of cancer registries with data representing approximately 99% of the U.S. population, which combines data from both the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Program of Cancer Registries. The researches evaluated cases between 2010 and 2014, because UCSC didn't start collecting data on human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status until 2010.
The resulting dataset included 1,151,724 breast cancer cases in the 39 states, with a mean age at diagnosis of 61.8 years. Approximately 75% of all cases were NHW women. Over the time period covered, TNBC cases accounted for 8.4% of all breast cancer cases. This finding is somewhat at odds with those of prior studies, which indicated that TNBC might account for some 15% of all breast cancer cases. "The lower incidence of TNBC potentially could be due to changes in data collection from registries because 2010 was the first year that SEER began collecting data regarding HER2 status for breast cancer cases," the investigators pointed out.
Compared with NHW women, NHB, Hispanic, and American Indian/Alsaka Native women were at increased risk of TNBC, whereas Asian women and those of other ethnicities had lower odds of a TNBC diagnosis. "NHB women accounted for a larger percentage of TNBC cases, 21.4%, compared to overall breast cancer cases, 10.9%," the team reported. "After controlling for late-stage diagnosis and case age, NHB women had approximately twice the odds of diagnosis with TNBC compared with NHW women, whereas Hispanic women had odds of a TNBC diagnosis that were similar to those of NHW women."
More specifically, the results showed that compared with non-Hispanic white women, NHB women and Hispanic women had 2.3-times and 1.2-times higher odds, respectively, of being diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer. More than 21% of NHB women were diagnosed with TNBC, compared with less than 11% for all other types of breast cancer. Women younger than 40 years of age had twice the odds of a TNBC diagnosis than women aged 50–64 years. And among women who were diagnosed with breast cancer, those diagnosed at late stages were 69% more likely to have triple-negative cancer than other types.
The researchers say that to their knowledge, their study represents the most geographically broad with respect to the U.S. states included, and the most recent, in terms of data examined. "Using more current data ensures the consistency of TNBC coding and provides an improved estimate of the overall burden of this highly problematic type of breast cancer," they stated. "Having a broader sample brings greater heterogeneity in terms of local context into the realm of analysis, which can be fruitful when using variations across predictors to explain variations across geography in future studies."
The data confirm the racial disparities in TNBC that have been reported previously, "and demonstrated that, with regard to the diagnosis of TNBC, there are significant burdens among women of color, specifically NHB women; younger women; and women diagnosed at a later stage."
The investigators note that by focusing on TNBC the study was limited in scope, so future studies might expand that scope and look at different subtypes of breast cancer, and also include additional information on disease stage, as the reported work focused on diagnosis at latter stages. "Additional studies are needed to determine drivers of disparities between race, age, and stage of disease at diagnosis," they wrote.

Pete Buttigieg blasted for taking Portugal vacation as rail strike loomed: 'Truth is stranger than fiction'
1 month ago Hana
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is facing new scrutiny over revelations he took a "personal trip" to Portugal in the heat of negotiations to avert a rail strike over the summer.
"The secretary took a long-planned personal trip from Aug. 29 to Sept. 5," a spokesperson for the Department of Transportation told Fox News. "As usual, while traveling on personal time he remained available and engaged on urgent issues, which in this case meant multiple calls with staff and stakeholders to work on the topic of rail labor negotiations."
The "Outnumbered" panelists on Thursday sounded off on the Biden administration's "hypocrisy," with co-host Emily Compagno noting Buttigieg's taxpayer-funded salary meant Americans were footing the bill for his time off while rail workers pleaded with lawmakers for paid sick leave.
BUTTIGIEG OFTEN FLIES ON TAXPAYER-FUNDED PRIVATE JETS, FLIGHT DATA SHOW
"Do one or the other, but don't waste my tax dollars and my time with you abdicating your responsibilities," Compagno told the panel. "And the people who pay for it are the members of that union that got a horrible deal."
"Unfortunately, truth is stranger than fiction here when it comes to this administration," she continued. "The optics of this are so poor."
Enes Kanter Freedom, a former NBA player, said he thought the story was fake when he initially learned of the timing of Buttigieg's trip.
"I didn't want to believe it," he said. "While your people are here are protesting, and you're going [on] vacation."

"I thought it was one of those — The Onion news. I was like, 'This could not be happening.'"
FOX Business' Jackie DeAngelis immediately called attention to the hypocrisy of Biden officials and other elected Democrats.
TUCKER CARLSON: THESE CLIMATE ACTIVISTS ARE FRAUDULENT
"They never miss an opportunity to take a trip," she said. "You see Nancy Pelosi in Italy. You see Pete Buttigieg on this trip here, when we are at different crisis points. This rail strike was a huge issue for our economy."
DeAngelis argued that Buttigieg will continue to be "rewarded" for his lack of hard work.
"People like Pete Buttigieg are never going to sort of take a step back and reflect on this because they're in power, they continue to get votes, and people support them," DeAngelis said.
FOX Business host Kennedy suggested that Buttigieg didn't view the rail workers' fight for sick pay as important enough to cancel or reschedule his vacation.
"It's all about his political ambitions," she said. "You know, the people who should be served by his administration be damned."
The DOT spokesperson did not say what the reason for Buttigieg's trip was and did not answer a question about why the trip wasn't publicly announced at the time. The secretary flew commercial.
Fox News' Chris Pandolfo contributed to this report.

National data show that American students have remained fairly stagnant in terms of reading proficiency in the last 20 years. Why? This article in The Atlantic reports on reflections on this lack of progress by education experts. In particular, it calls into question whether the traditional approach of education, which prioritizes teaching reading skills, is overlooking the need for content-specific instruction, such as science, history and art. Instead of just teaching kids how to read, however, students (particularly high-needs students) must be exposed to new experiences and vocabulary words that they may not otherwise become familiar with – and these content subjects are the best situations to help growing readers to do so.
What do you think about this research? Have you seen any successful implementations of this type of literacy education? Let us know! Email colleen.gilligan@nashvillepef.org with any news or other information we should be checking out.

Vegas cabbie hits
record 5-cent jackpot!
A Las Vegas cab driver on Sunday night hit a $3.2 million progressive jackpot on an Elvira, Mistress of the Dark video slot, the largest award ever on a nickel slot machine.
Robert Baker said winning $3.2 million was made even better because he won it downtown, at the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino.
"I play nickel progressives," Baker said, "they are my favorites and it really paid off!"
The Elvira machine is part of IGT's Spooky Slots progressive system, which reset at $100,000. On progressive slot machines, the jackpot grows larger as the game is played.
Spooky Slots is one of 22 Nevada MegaJackpot systems operated by IGT, the world's largest maker of slots and slot systems.
MegaJackpot instant winners are paid in their entirety upon verification, while machines such as Megabucks and Wheel of Fortune are paid in annual installments
Baker said he has no plans to quit his job as a cab driver, but did plan to fulfill a lifelong dream to buy a Lincoln Town Car.
IGT officials said the popularity of its linked progressive slot systems has enjoyed a resurgence in recent years.
The popularity of such systems seemed to reach a peak a couple of years ago, but recently there's been renewed interest. That interest has been fueled, at least in part, by new progressive systems introduced by Bally and Aristocrat.
Moreover, casino operators have said they are devoting more floor space to progressive systems, based on the perception that players like the chance to hit a "life-altering" jackpot.
For its part, IGT remains the leader in offering high-profile, progressive systems.
"We developed Megabucks to offer a substantial jackpot alternative for casino players," said Ward Chilton, IGT Senior Vice President of North American Sales. "We believe certain gaming customers prefer to play for very large jackpots, and the continuing popularity of the MegaJackpot games bears that out."
The initial success of Megabucks, a dollar slot game introduced in 1986, led IGT to adapt the MegaJackpots concept to numerous other systems in a wide range of denominations — from pennies (The Beverly Hillbillies) to $5 tokens (Wheel of Fortune).
Over the years, IGT MegaJackpots have produced more than 860 millionaires and have awarded more than $3.3 billion in major jackpots.
After every progressive jackpot is hit, the MegaJackpots meter is reset to the system's base amount, which varies according to jurisdiction.
What happens when a player wins a MegaJackpots award?
According to reports from previous winners, time seems to stand still as they slowly realize they've won something big.
Five hundred miles north of Las Vegas, in the IGT Reno MegaJackpots operations room, the lineup of the game's winning symbols triggers first an alarm and then, a few seconds later, an advisory that a jackpot has been recorded on the system.
Generated by computers that monitor the 7,800 or so MegaJackpots machines scattered throughout the state, the advisory tells the 24-hour monitoring staff which game you were playing, as well as the time, location and amount of your jackpot.
Back in Las Vegas, the casino staff has, perhaps, offered the player a quiet place to sit and relax. While all outward signs indicate a major jackpot has been won, it is not yet "official."
Nevada gaming regulations require a verification process in which IGT technicians thoroughly inspect the machine's internal systems to insure that the machine is working properly and the jackpot is legitimate.
In the course of verifying that a jackpot is legitimate, the IGT technician will check the candle (the light on top of the machine), compare various game programs, and compare machine readings to the information originally received at the Reno operations center.
Once the jackpot is verified, congratulations are in order, and completing the paperwork is ready to begin. The winner supplies two forms of identification and gives a current address, phone and employment information.
The paperwork usually takes less than an hour and voila!, the winner is presented with a check. A few later, an IGT representative will be in touch to finalize a few follow-up steps. Then comes the fun part — living the life as a lucky MegaJackpots winner!

OPTIMAL SYSTEMS wins ICT products award
At the award "ICT products of the year 2020" of the German business magazine funkschau, OPTIMAL SYSTEMS emerged as the winner in the categories DMS, ECM and EIM.
#itkprodukt20
2020 was without doubt a year in which digital solutions were particularly important. The world is responding to the corona pandemic by establishing many digital work opportunities. In such challenging times it becomes apparent, which products and services prove their worth. And which do not. For this reason, the IT business magazine funkschau invited readers to vote and looked for the ICT products of the year 2020. OPTIMAL SYSTEMS emerged as the winner in the categories DMS, ECM and EIM.
Nikola Milanovic and Sven Kaiser of OPTIMAL SYSTEMS are proud of the award.
"The award confirms our previous course of continuously further developing an established ECM software as well as looking for innovative ways to bring our technology and customers into the cloud", comments Nikola Milanovic, Chief Technology Officer at OPTIMAL SYSTEMS (left in the picture), on the award. Due to current contact regulations, the prize will not be awarded at a ceremony but by mail. No problem, says Sven Kaiser, Chief Marketing Officer (on the right in the picture): "Then we can put the trophy up more quickly to other awards of previous years".
Companies were nominated in 21 categories, and around 14,000 readers voted for their winners. Among the winners in other categories were Cisco and Microsoft.

Where is HMS Queen Elizabeth going next and when could she be returning to Portsmouth?
She is currently undertaking a 28-week deployment

It has been a little over 20 weeks since the Royal Navy's flagship vessel left Hampshire, leading the UK's Carrier Strike Group (CSG) on its maiden deployment.
On May 22, crowds gathered in Portsmouth to wave HMS Queen Elizabeth and those onboard off as she left for a 28-week deployment.
The CSG deployment has so far taken HMS Queen Elizabeth and her supporting warships all over the world. She has been across the Atlantic, Mediterranean, Indian Oceans and into the Pacific.
READ MORE: HMS Queen Elizabeth: F-35B Lightning jets take to skies with Republic of Singapore Air Force
Along the way, she has been working with allies and partners including the US, the Royal New Zealand Navy and Japanese vessels, flying the flag for global Britain.
Earlier this month, the Portsmouth-based aircraft carrier began her return journey as the CSG passed the 32,000 nautical mile mark.
HMS Queen Elizabeth's first destination on her return journey was to the Indo-Pacific region as the CSG visited India for joint maritime exercises as well as a programme of diplomatic engagements.
On Saturday (October 23), the Royal Navy's flagship vessel welcomed a number of VIP guests while off the coast of Mumbai, including Foreign Secretary Liz Truss MP.
After leaving India, the group is scheduled to visit the Gulf with a number of exercises planned.
The group will undertake F35 exercises with Oman and UAE air forces and maritime training alongside the Royal Navy of Oman.
Dates for when the engagements will take place are not yet publicly known, but with just eight weeks left of the group's planned deployment time it would appear that they won't be far away.
There could however be other engagements on the trip back in between the current known exercises.
What is HMS Queen Elizabeth?
HMS Queen Elizabeth is the Royal Navy's biggest-ever ship, weighing in at 65,000 tonnes. Her flight-deck is four acres long, enough space for nearly three football pitches.
She is the second ship in the navy to be named Queen Elizabeth and is the sister ship of HMS Prince of Wales.
Her first official deployment was to the Far East in 2021.
It would also appear that HMS Queen Elizabeth could be returning to Portsmouth in December, if the deployment length is stuck to.
The 28 weeks predicted for the deployment would end on Saturday December 4 - however no date has been confirmed yet for her return.
It would appear likely however that those onboard will be returning to the UK before Christmas.

A man who owns a hammer sees the world only as a nail. I heard this expression in connection with those that spend all their time at the gym seeking physical strength in order to look more intimidating. If you go around looking for a fight, you will likely find one. The problem is that your hammer will only fasten the nail provided your opponent does not have a bigger hammer.

I think I've figured out the source of my pervasive brain fog.
Spring is upon us, with all the flowers in bloom, and as such I've been taking loratadine for my allergies. I haven't taken it in a long time, but if I remember correctly, it definitely made me feel foggy in the past (which, of course, is probably why I haven't taken it in a long time >_<).
Anyway, I made it through Killer Class, but it took me until Grand Allegro to feel like I had any brain at all. During Grand Allegro, I managed to do Bournonville jetés without winding up on the wrong leg every damned time, so that was a big step (leap, actually … womp womp woooooommmmmmmmp) in the right direction.
I have to dash off for our Dance Team rehearsal, but figure I'd post this before I forget, because frankly right now I am forgetting ERRRTHANG.
No more Claritin for me.
Posted on 2017/04/12, in balllet, class notes, health and tagged bleh, brain fog, grand allegro was was awesome though. Bookmark the permalink.	2 Comments.
Ha! Yeah, that would do it. Also, probably make it just as hard to remember the choreography as a good old-fashioned brain fog.

Q: Wear OS Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) not connecting to other device I'm working on a Wear OS app that connects to an BLE device. On older Wear OS versions it worked fine. The app could create a connection to the device by it self (the user only needed to confirm the connection). Now on a newer Wear OS version it doesn't work anymore. The app can't create a connection by it self. The user has to open the device settings, connect to the BLE device manually and reopen the app. Than the app has the connection and can communicate with the BLE device.
For example. I tried it with the code of this tutorial:
https://punchthrough.com/android-ble-guide/
I have two Wear OS devices.
One with an older Wear OS Version:

*

*Modell: Moto 360

*Wear OS by Google: 2.12

*System version: H MR1

*Security update from: January 1. 2020

and one with the newest Wear OS Version:

*

*Modell: Carlyle HR (Fossil)

*Wear OS by Google: 2.28

*System version: H MR2

*Security update from: February 1. 2021

On the watch with the older version the app can create the BLE connection with the other BLE device by it self. That works fine. The watch with the newer version shows the confirmation window for the user but after that the connection always fails. Here the user has to manually connect to the device and than return to the app.
My supposition is that it is a bug in the Wear OS version. Has one of you the same problem and/or a solution?
Also I would like to downgrade the Wear OS version of the newer watch. Is that possible some how?
Thanks to everyone in advance.

It is not easy to sum up Michael's 21 years and his impact on family and friends. I have offered a few biographical details and follow with his brother's tribute. We hope you will consider donating to the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative. The organization has low overhead and donates 97 - 98% to support sarcoma research.
Michael and his twin brother Christopher were born on February 28, 1989, at St. Mary's Hospital in Knoxville, Tennessee. It was a Tuesday, and they were born after 5:00 a.m. On Tuesday, January 25, 2011, Michael passed away, after 5:00 a.m.
The twins were born five weeks early, and Michael had to stay in the hospital for 17 days to gain weight. We always said he was a fighter from the start, with Christopher crowding him in the womb. They spent their school years in Delaware. Growing up, Michael participated in t-ball, YMCA soccer and swimming, Cub Scouts, Webelos and Boy Scouts. He was nominated for Order of the Arrow by his troop. He also served as an Acolyte at Christ Church in Dover, Delaware. During high school he was in the percussion section of the Caesar Rodney High School Marching Band. He graduated from high school in 2007. The twins never lost their love of Tennessee and returned to Knoxville to attend college. Michael got a job at Toyota of Knoxville, and on a hot summer day he earned his nickname "Frosty." In the summer of 2009 he started having abdominal pain. In September a biopsy confirmed he had a softball size, high grade synovial sarcoma tumor. He had surgery followed by high dose chemotherapy, but he finally succumbed to the relentless disease.
In thinking of how to speak about this day to celebrate my brother Michael, a quote came to my mind from Eleanor Powell. And the quote goes "What we are is God's gift to us; and what we become is our gift to God." We are here today because the gift of Michael has been shared with each of us in a very personal way. Michael and I were born identical twins, and that created a special bond as a brother, but also as a best friend. He was someone I shared my life with, day in and day out, for 21 years. We lived together for all of about six months of our lives sharing family, friends and enjoying life together. We shared countless stories, endless memories and many times together. Just the two of us together made each day better.
Michael was always there for me. And at any time of day he would get the desire to make my life better in any way could, without being concerned for himself. I was able to help him and do the same for him, and that really helped me to be able to be with him every day and help him in any way he needed. I will miss being able to return the favor and listen to the story of his life as he told me about many of you here in this room.
It is easy for me to share with you how Michael was as a person because he treated each of us all the same. He treated me the same as he treated all of his friends and anybody who met him. He gathered satisfaction in his daily life from the love he shared with others while receiving love in return.
You could see Michael's love in his smile, that smile that rarely left his face even in the many trials he faced. He shared that smile with everyone and he always wanted to know how your life was going and if he could help. He would just greet you with a smile and he wanted to know how you were doing.
This behavior earned Michael the Citizen of the Year award twice while in high school, in the marching band, and then, in 2010, the Associate of the Year award at Toyota of Knoxville. This was the first associate award in the dealership's thirty-year history. The important thing is that Michael never did anything in his life with the intention of receiving gratification or awards. He just woke up each day as Michael and went about improving the lives of everyone around him.
Spending time with Michael taught me how much he loved people. In our talks just as brother to brother, he mentioned friends and how happy he was to share time with them. And every time he spent with them and things going on in their lives, he just loved to share that. You could see the joy on his face that he received from that.
Later on you could see his eyes light up with every visit that he received at the house or at the hospital, throughout his illness, the joy of people being around him. And he also wanted people to be happy to spend time with him. I saw Michael light up as each visitor came and I saw that affected each person that came to see him, and he saw that. He often spoke of how he knew in tune with each person coming to see him what they needed; and he wanted to make sure that they were taken care of before he took care of himself.
Michael would check up on those people every day and I could tell that it helped him to see how they were doing. Everybody reciprocated those memories in pictures, in words of support in abundant supply on Caringbridge and Facebook.
Living with Michael, again, from day to day in my life has taught me many things, but most of all have hope, courage and faith, regardless of what life throws at you. Michael trusted that we were doing everything possible in the course of his illness, and he hoped that he could affect others through the process.
Michael had courage to never think about himself and never allow any situation in life to get him down. No matter how his illness progressed, his only thought was to think about others and to never complain.
As I took care of Michael through the nights this past Christmas, I was touched as he would try whenever possible to do whatever he could for himself. He did not want us to have to worry about him. One morning as the days became hard, he looked at me and said "I'm sorry I need so much help from you." I quickly told him that I enjoyed it and it was no problem, worried that he was thinking that I was having trouble with it. So I was proud to care for him. I was able to help him around the clock, and we were together day and night. And those are the memories that I will take of Michael, meaning it would be just be him and I, and taking care of him as needed. I was so happy to share my love with Michael, and he was so happy to share it with every one of you.
He never wavered in his faith. He had faith that God would provide for him in life, no matter the circumstance. He rarely worried about the future, money or other stresses of daily life. He lived each day with the faith that he would receive all he needed with work and friends. And he would just get up each day knowing that he would get all he needed.
From the day Michael was diagnosed, he knew that his illness would most likely be terminal, but he always kept his faith that the illness was part of his plan in life. He continued to look at heaven with excitement and never worried about what was to come.
Cancer took Michael's life but it never took Michael away from us. He was still the same selfless but loving strong man of hope, courage and faith that he was throughout his daily life.
I want to thank you all here for being such important factors in Michael's life and an endless sense of happiness for him. I take comfort in the fact that he can now be with each one of us every day, just as he loved doing before.
To me, my brother's legacy will be that he did not rely on the world to make him better. He made the world a better place because he was here with us. So to continue my brother's legacy, we can share the love he had for us with everyone that we encounter in our daily lives.
One last thing to remember is to take time to enjoy each day. Michael's favorite places were to spend time on the Chesapeake Bay and the Smoky Mountains and just take time relaxing and enjoying each day. So take time, take a day every once in a while, get away from the repetitive schedule of life and enjoy the beautiful places Michael cherished so much and enjoy all of the wonderful people that have been in his life.

At the age of 14, inspired by Blues masters Sonny Boy Williamson, Little Walter and Sonny Terry, Damien started playing diatonic harmonica. At 16, he received as a gift an alto saxophone, and applied the theory learned through sax lessons to another recent gift, the chromatic harmonica. Around that same time he was introduced to Altaneze Taylor, the founder of Bright Moments Music Lovers Club. Through her organization, he met and studied with professional musicians and learned about Jazz history and culture. As an adult he entered Laney College and studied with Elvo D'amante and Ed Kelly. He transferred to CSU-Hayward, leaving directly for an exchange program (aka "Intercambio") in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where he lived, studied, and played for the next two years.
Upon returning from Brazil he was soon playing in the Bay Area's top clubs with the area's best Brazilian and Jazz musicians, resulting in the 1996 debut CD release, "Intercambio," inspired by his overseas adventures. In 1997, after nine consecutive visits to Havana, Damien produced "Cubacambio," taking his passion for World Music, Jazz and Pop and melding them into one vision. "Cubacambio" is one of the first recordings featuring chromatic harmonica in an authentic Cuban setting.
In following years, Damien expanded his performance and recording into many genres, mixing Jazz, Rock, Pop and World Music styles, searching for an elusive "sound" to express the music he heard growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area during the 70's and 80's. That exploration can be heard in his various recordings on his own albums, (see "Blue World Order" and "Scrapbook") and the recordings of other artists (Google "Damien Masterson").
In 2009 Damien released "All Over the Map," his first major release since "Cubacambio." Considered one of his finest albums, it showcases his compositional and arranging talents, as well his trademark harmonica and saxophone chops. A collaborative effort with Bassist/Producer/Engineer Jon Evans of San Pablo Recorders, "All Over the Map" has been dubbed a "must have."
For the past 10 years Damien has been searching for lost rhythms and atypical ways to syncopate his compositions. That exploration transported him all over the world; but it was his discovery of certain styles of African music, especially Senegalese Mbalax, that captured his heart and soul. During 2009-2010 Damien traveled to Africa 4 times, studying, performing and recording in Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire and South Africa, ultimately building a studio in Dakar, which allowed lower income artists to create recordings and demos.
Damien is also a polyglot and can speak five languages fluently, including Portuguese, Spanish, French and Wolof. Music lessons can be taught in English, Portuguese, Spanish or French.


We'd love your help. Let us know what's wrong with this preview of Girl off the Grid by Kenzie Hart.
Love travel and reading? You'll love Girl off the Grid!
"Girl off the Grid is a book with a real environmental message and a sweet, young love story."
NYC fashion blogger, Camille Caldwell, gets offered a dream job by her favorite magazine. They're going to send her on an all-expenses paid eco-trip to Costa Rica. She doesn't know what that means, but she assumes she'll wear Love travel and reading? You'll love Girl off the Grid!
NYC fashion blogger, Camille Caldwell, gets offered a dream job by her favorite magazine. They're going to send her on an all-expenses paid eco-trip to Costa Rica. She doesn't know what that means, but she assumes she'll wear fabulous clothes, sip Piña Coladas on the beach, and have her photo taken "out in nature." Really, the hardest part of the assignment will be giving up social media while she's gone.
Going off social media is no big deal for London-based wildlife photographer, Adam Lloyd. The only reason he even has an account is to share his photos with the world. He's thrilled when an international publication wants to hire him, until he finds out it's a fashion magazine. He decides to take the job anyway--after all, it will be great for his portfolio. But the minute he meets Camille, he knows it was a mistake. She has too much luggage, is too high maintenance, and way too pretty.
When they meet, their feelings are mutual--they hate each other. Can these two stop fighting long enough to complete their assignment? Will Camille give up and go home when she discovers there's nowhere to plug in her hair straightener?

Camille is a popular fashion blogger. Because of her follower base and her positive attitude a fashion magazine asks her to go on a trip to Costa Rica. It's an eco-trip and the magazine will pay for everything. She has to write an article and make some videos and a photographer will be joining her to take a lot of photos. There's one rule, Camille won't have any access to her phone or internet. She has to go off the grid for the duration of the trip.

Will she be able to have a good time while being so far away from home without the means to contact anyone she loves?
Camille hasn't got much travel experience and she's used to certain luxuries. Her photographer Adam is an experienced traveler, so he can teach her some things. He doesn't care about social media and he's had a free childhood spent in many different countries. His father is a famous photographer and Adam wants to follow in his footsteps. Working for a fashion magazine is not exactly his biggest dream, but it's a good start of his career and he'll be able to take many stunning photos in Costa Rica. When he meets Camille she's too much for him. She's bubbly, spoiled and beautiful and it's better if he keeps her at a distance. However, is it possible to dislike someone as upbeat and charming as Camille?
Girl off the Grid is an incredibly sweet romantic story. I immediately loved Camille. She's a sparkling person with a sunny personality that makes people's hearts melt. She's pretty and smart, which is a good combination. She's also high maintenance and used to certain standards, but after some mild complaining she makes the best of any situation, which is something I liked a lot about her character. Adam doesn't want to like her, but he doesn't know how to keep this up. Camille's cheerfulness is inspiring. I love how they challenge each other and how they make each other think about the important things in life. They have a really special click, even though they have conflicts and come from completely different worlds. That made reading about them interesting and fun.
3.5 stars ... fun to read!
Facing fears, facing the unknown, taking life as you know it and watching it all change in the blink of an eye. Having everything to having nothing. Learning to live by means instead of by riches. Seeing the natural beauty of the world instead of seeing the world made up of grandeur. Learning to live out of your comfort zone, learning new things and new people and how to make things work that you normally wouldn't have had to.

Adam had a charm to him that I wasn't sure Camille would understand and come to love.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I thought it was perfect YA book that showed the growth of the main characters. They were both charming in their own ways and were likeable, funny characters.
The thing that struck me the most was the description of Costa Rica. The details of the animals and sites they see along the way made me feel like I was on vacation sitting right next to them and experiencing everything with them.

I am a little disappointed. I did like the book, but I was hoping for a deeper romance between the two. I also would've liked a more solid conclusion about what happened with th magazine and once the two characters met back up. It felt like a little bit of a cliffhanger. I love travel romance novels. There aren't enough of them. It would have been nice to follow through with Camille's job ad well!
I bought this book at a book signing and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was different from my normal books I read so I wasn't sure what to expect. I loved both Adam and Camille and enjoyed watching their relationship develop and their personal growth. I especially enjoyed seeing Costa Rica through their eyes. This was a refreshing, sweet, enjoyable book. I look forward to more from this author.
What a fun read! The setting of this book was so neat to read about- and this book managed to be educational while still being an enjoyable romance read! It was obvious that the subject matter was important to Kenzie Hart- such care was taken to teach us about the area and conservation issues.
Loved the book. Kenzie did a good job, she made it feel like you are along on the adventure with Adam and Camille. You get to see another culture and see how you could make a difference like Adam and Camille talked about. It's a very inspiring book to read and will make you think. Highly recommend this book it's worth your time.
Romances are never my first choice for reads, so I'm not sure what attracted me to this one anymore. Maybe it was a reminder of why I don't enjoy them. But I soldiered on and read this one and really, it's not awful. I am sure there are loads of YA's and others who are going to love this book! What's not to love? The girl, Camille, is a very popular fashion blogger sent on an exotic, all expense paid trip to Costa Rica! I'd grab that myself, in a heart beat, if offered!

It was entertaining enough to hold my attention. Its a bit long, but I am sure it's fans will think it's not log enough! It is well-written and a fun light read for summer.
Kenzie Hart graduated from the University of South Florida with a degree in Interdisciplinary Social Sciences: History and International Studies. She is currently living abroad to travel and pursue her Masters Degree. She can usually be found at the local coffee shop writing, reading, or planning her next adventure.

Mandolina er det sjette og sidste solo studiealbum af den danske musiker Lars Muhl, der blev udgivet i 1997 på CMC. Albummet er indspillet og produceret i samarbejde med Poul Halberg, Jan Sivertsen og Kasper Winding. Derudover medvirker blandt andre Per Chr. Frost (Gnags) og Nils Torp (Souvenirs) samt Lis Sørensen på duetten "Every Step You Take".

Modtagelse
Jan Opstrup Poulsen fra Gaffa tildelte Mandolina fire ud af seks stjerner og beskrev albummet som et "lidt atypisk" Lars Muhl-album, fordi Muhl "denne gang fastholder den kølige elegance hele vejen igennem, og holder igen på de mere rytmisk orienterede sange". Poulsen mente at albummet er en "stor stemningsskaber" med "filmiske lydbilleder", hvor den "sprøde lyd smyger sig elegant om klynkekongens tidsløse croon". Poulsen efterlyste samtidig lidt mere "konfrontation", som på 1994-udspillet Kingdom Come, hvilket ville have skabt mere liv i Mandolinas "lidt for stationære skønmaleri".

Friday: Tell Idaho Representatives to Vote No on Senate Bill 1339!
On Friday, March 4, at an unknown time, the full Idaho House of Representatives will hold the final vote on Senate Bill 1339 (S1339) [1, 2]. The Senate Resources and Environment Committee passed S1339 to the Senate floor on Friday, February 19, after an Alta Mesa oil and gas company attorney pushed for bill hearing closure, before all of the subsequently angry citizens present could testify. Only Democrat committee member Michelle Stennett voted against this bill that, if passed by the Idaho Legislature and codified as an emergency law by Governor Otter's signature, would expedite Idaho oil and gas development permitting procedures and further severely limit due process, associated public input and appeals, and information available to citizens, some forced to develop their mineral interests and most concerned about fossil fuel project impacts to private and public lands, water, air, and property rights [3-5].
According to Betsy Russell's Eye on Boise, "after a two-hour debate, the Idaho Senate voted 31-4 in favor of SB 1339, a controversial proposal to streamline the process for issuing permits for oil and gas wells. The bill drew close to 100 people to an earlier hearing, most of them opposed…The bill now moves to the House side. The Senate vote came just after 6:30 p.m. Boise time, half an hour after the Senate had been scheduled to conclude its late-afternoon session, which started at 4:30. It was the only bill taken up."  On Tuesday, March 1, the Idaho House Resources and Conservation Committee held a hearing on this industry-promoted bill and passed S1339 on a two-to-one ratio . Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT) emailed letters of opposition to both Senate and House committees.
Meanwhile, on Monday, February 22, over 150 citizens participated in a rally on the Capitol steps in Boise, protesting the bill and oil and gas industry and infrastructure abuses of Idaho citizen health, private property rights, and essential air, water, and soil quality, at the Don't Frack Idaho Statehouse Rally, hosted by Citizens Allied for Integrity and Accountability [8-12]. Organizing protests and rallies against oil and gas development around the state since 2012, WIRT activists are grateful that more than a few dozen Idahoans are finally displaying widespread resistance.
If the Idaho legislature could possibly defend your interests, please contact all of the state representatives, to oppose full Idaho House floor passage of S1339. See the comprehensive list of representative email addresses at citation 7 and talking point suggestions at the following links [13, 14]. NOW is your last chance to write to or call them on this issue, urging them to vote against this legislation that forces oil and gas development on unwilling land and mineral rights owners and that dismisses the public's best interests and participation in permitting decisions. Thank you!
