A$AP Ferg headlines this year's energetic fall concert
A$AP Ferg preformed in Jorgensen Theater Wednesday night. The theater was filled with students on both the floor and the balcony. A$AP ended the night with his double Platinum song Plain Jane. (Nicholas Hampton/The Daily Campus)
Rapper A$AP Ferg turned Jorgensen Theatre electric for SUBOG's annual Fall Concert on Wednesday night. The lines into the concert stretched around the theatre despite it being a cold November night with the possibility of snow flurries. Even after the technical difficulties that arose, within the first few minutes of Ferg being on stage, the wait was worth it – SUBOG hosted DJ group GrooveBoston as the opener for headliner A$AP Ferg to give UConn students a high -energy night of music and dancing.
The pre-show party with GrooveBoston warmed up the crowd as it continued to grow before A$AP Ferg took the stage. The DJ group played recent hits like Sheck Wes' "Mo Bamba" and Drake's "Nonstop," songs that the audience on the floor and in the balcony were hyped to hear.
Throughout the show, Ferg connected with his audience both literally and figuratively. To get the crowd involved, the rapper stepped off-stage during his opening song to immediately connect with those in the floor section. Knowing the mob of college students was probably thirsty, he threw water bottles into the audience, including a used one – congratulations to whoever had that lucky catch. To tie it all together, he dedicated his song "East Coast" to everyone at UConn, saying "This song goes out to all of y'all here on the East Coast," and the crowd went wild.
Ferg constantly jumped around on and off stage to match the lively, tireless style of his music. For a few moments, though, Ferg calmed down to honor A$AP Yams, the founder of A$AP Mob, the music group Ferg is a member of. Ferg asked the crowd for a moment of silence to pay tribute to Yams, saying "I wouldn't be here if it weren't for him." To pick the crowd back up, Ferg jammed out to one of the songs he created with Yams, "Yamborghini High."
Ferg electrified the crowd with his three most popular songs in the final moments of the concert. His performances "Shabba" and "Work" had the entire theatre on their feet, or, if they were a part of the mosh pit, probably on the ground.
"We saw it all from up there: people crowd surfing, the mosh pits, everyone having a good time. It was a birds' eye view and the best seat in the house," Christina Constantinou, first semester physiology and neurobiology double major, said.
Most notably, though, his hit and the night's closing song "Plain Jane" had the floor of Jorgensen shaking. Before ending the night with the most anticipated song, Ferg thanked the audience with a personal statement: "UConn, I love y'all so much. This next song went double platinum because of y'all."
Students who purchased floor tickets and stood in line early enough to secure a spot as close to the stage as possible, like first semester English and American studies double major Brian Goggin, were able to have an elevated experience.
"(The concert was) absolutely the most fun I've had yet at UConn," Goggin said. "I'll be at the next concert for sure."

St. John's baseball captures sixth consecutive WCAC title

The St. John's baseball players stormed out of their dugout, flung their gray and scarlet hats into the air and formed a dogpile near first base. A few minutes later, those players danced around the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference trophy on Nationals Youth Baseball Academy's field before pouring Gatorade on Coach Mark Gibbs.
This has become a familiar scene in the WCAC. With a 9-1 win over DeMatha on Saturday afternoon following a 10-0 victory Friday night in Southeast Washington, No. 1 St. John's won its sixth consecutive league title and 21st overall.
"Every one is special because we have guys who haven't experienced this yet," said Gibbs, who graduated from St. John's in 1996. "I enjoy the Gatorade. I enjoy seeing the kids run on the field."
While St. John's (27-3) dominated most of Saturday, it struggled to drive in runners through three innings, resulting in a one-run deficit. Freshman James Triantos provided the Cadets energy in the fourth inning.
With the bases loaded, Triantos knocked a three-RBI double. When the North Carolina commit reached second base, he turned toward his dugout and pumped both fists three times. Players and coaches, rushing to the top of the dugout, mimicked Triantos and let out a collective yell.
"I was just like, 'Wow, I just did that. This is amazing. This is so fun,' " said Triantos, who finished with four RBI.

Triantos transferred from IMG Academy in Florida this year and is one of a handful of underclassman contributors for St. John's after it graduated perhaps its top three players from last season.
St. John's rode Triantos's momentum to score five runs the next inning. After waiting out a half-hour rain delay, the Cadets sealed their victory.
Four of the past five years, St. John's has beaten DeMatha (18-13) in the WCAC championship. The Cadets' path to the title game didn't come easy, though.
St. John's fell to O'Connell in the first game of its best-of-three WCAC semifinals series this week. The Cadets then went to extra innings in the decisive Game 3. Infielder Justin Riemer's RBI single in the ninth inning kept the Cadets' repeat hopes alive.
"This is a lot of young guys — not a lot of seniors," senior Ian Remalia said. "We're basically their everyday parents. We've been through a lot."

After the players jumped around the field, they met with their coaches to pose with the WCAC championship trophy and raise six fingers.
For the first time in five years, the Cadets are participating in the D.C. State Athletic Association tournament in the coming week, so they will have another chance to perform these celebrations.
"This one has a little more to it now that I won't be here to carry on the tradition," Remalia said.

A szalagos gőte (Ommatotriton vittatus vagy Triturus vittatus) a kétéltűek (Amphibia) osztályának a farkos kétéltűek (Caudata) rendjéhez, ezen belül a szalamandrafélék (Salamandridae) családjához tartozó faj.

2005-ig a Triturus nembe tartozott, majd átsorolták az Ommatotriton nembe (Litvinchuk et al., 2005).

Elterjedése

Izrael, Jordánia, Libanon, Palesztina, Szíria és Törökország területén honos.

Megjelenése

A szalagos gőte némely tekintetben a tarajos és a márványos gőtére, más szempontokból viszont az ismertebb pettyes gőtéhez hasonlít. Ez utóbbitól csontos halántékíve, legtöbbször sokkal nagyobb termete és a farka tövénél majdnem hirtelenül leszálló háttaraja különbözteti meg. Lábujjain nincsenek úszókaréjok; helyettük lábközepének külső szélén széles bőrszegélyt találunk.

Ez a leírás arra a legnagyobb és legpompásabb fajváltozatra (var. ophrytica) illik, amely Kis-Ázsia északi részén, elsősorban a bithyniai Olympuson és a Kaukázusban honos – ennek hímje 144, nősténye pedig 130 mm hosszúra is megnő.

A hím és nőstény hasoldala egyaránt narancssárga és narancsvörös közt változik, foltos vagy nem foltos egyes változatok szerint. A nőstény külseje nem feltűnő, az ivarérett hím viszont bizarr külsőt ölt: háttaraja akár 19 mm magasra is megnő, lábközepe (a metatarsus) külső szélén hatalmas bőrredő alakul ki – ez több más gőte úszóhártyájának felel meg. Egyes alfajok háttaraja kevésbé fejlett és kevésbé csipkézett. Az ivarzó hím felső oldala élénk, esetleg zöldes bronzszínű, sötéten foltozott. Ez a szín az ivarzás után egyszerűen olajzölddé és gyengén foltossá válik, mint amilyen a nőstény színe is. A nász idején a hím és a nőstény hastájékának határán is egy élesen kiemelkedő, ezüstfehér szalag húzódik végig. Ezt alul és fölül is sötétebb csík szegélyezi úgy, hogy az alsó csík gyakran foltokra szakadozik.

Életmódja

Kis patakokban, apró tavakban és mocsarakban él. Fiatal korában apró rákokkal, rovarokkal, férgekkel és szúnyoglárvákkal táplálkozik. A felnőtt példányok megtámadják a víz felszínén úszó rovarokat, puhatestűeket és a földigilisztát is.

"This government we have had now. they have prioritized, during these four years, asylum-seekers", Akesson said, giving an exhaustive list of things he says the government has failed to do for Swedish society because of migrants. The two largest catch-all parties, the Social Democrats and the Conservatives, kept shrinking and the right-wing populists, the Sweden Democrats, kept growing. So far, he has been rebuffed, but depending on the final vote count, there may be some give, especially since at the local level nearly all parties have already been working together with the Sweden Democrats for some time.
Gains for the far-right are being blamed on voter fears of mass immigration. Under the current leader, Jimmie Akesson, who took over in 2005, the party insists it has no tolerance for racist or xenophobic rhetoric and routinely kicks out members discovered to be espousing openly racist sentiments (which, to be fair, still happens quite often).
The SD, widely tipped to make gains in the election, won about 18 percent support, jumping almost five percentage points since the last elections four years ago. Although both major parties have ruled out formally ruling with the Sweden Democrats in a coalition, the center-right Moderates have said they would not reject support in areas where the parties' positions coincide.
However, Stefan Lofven, the Swedish prime minister, will have heaved a sigh of relief at the disappointing result for the nationalist Sweden Democrats, .
With neither main bloc able to command a majority, the Sweden Democrats - who want the country to leave the European Union and put a freeze on immigration - could play a decisive role in negotiations over forming a government. But as the issue continued to gain relevance, the Sweden Democrats' position gained traction. "We don't know who will form the next government, we will probably not know tomorrow, next week or next month", Wolodarski told Al Jazeera.
Ahead of the election, promising prospects for the Sweden Democrats had many Swedes anxious about an erosion of the humanitarian values that have always been a foundation of their country's identity.
"The Alliance will not govern or discuss how to form a government with the Sweden Democrats", he said. It received a little more than one in six votes, or 17.6 per cent.
Akesson was jubilant as he addressed supporters a day later, declaring the estimated 14 parliament seats the Social Democrats picked up a victory other parties could not ignore in coalition negotiations. That raised questions whether the parties might find a way for the far-right party to vote with the Moderates at least part of the time and helping to install a center-right leader in the prime minister's office. Both parties are joined by a number of smaller fringe parties in forming their respective coalition blocs.
"It's not that they are shy voters, but that they are distrustful of the polling agencies", said Henrik Ekengren Oscarsson, a professor in political science at Gothenburg University.
The coalition blocs that each party leads were neck-and-neck with each other, leaving the ultimate result in doubt and raising the possibility the center-right group might seek to seize power with support from the Sweden Democrats. Voters on Sunday did not doubt the Nordic welfare model, but many hesitate to let more immigrants without similar cultural traits share the system.
"If nobody is talking about stuff that people see as problems, the only answers and understanding that they're going to have are the ones offered by the populist parties". Nevertheless, prime minister Stefan Löfven did not resign on election night, citing the need for stability.

Originally made in our own Exeter embroidery workroom in 1963 this frontal was returned to us for the transfer of the original hand embroidery device and lettering onto new fabric by our highly skilled embroideresses. The original embroidery was cut from the old fabric and then placed into position on the new fabric and re-edged by hand with new Japanese thread. New orphreys were also added to the frontal.

Among the close to 400 riders out on the streets for Bike 5 Cities was NASCAR driver and FDOT Alert Today Florida Bike Safety Advocate Scott Lagasse. He was the first to stop his bike and personally assist riders with flat tires proving just how committed he is to helping cyclists.
"Too many uncomfortable run-ins" while on his bike led Scott to his bicyclist advocacy role with FDOT Alert Today Florida.
Riders of all ages and experience levels came out on May 5 for a 28-mile ride. One couple came from Jacksonville to celebrate their anniversary and learn more about new bike trails. We even had our youngest rider at just age 7, complete the full 28 miles with his parents.
Thank you to everyone who participated and we hope to see you next year!


Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has spoken about his side 2-2 with Chelsea earlier today.
United was actually on the verge of winning the game before Ross Barkley grab a late equalizer for Chelsea in the dying minute of the game.
Jose Mourinho also spoke about the referee decision to add 6 minutes to the game after 90 minutes. There was also a bust-up after Chelsea's goal due to one of Chelsea's assistant coach celebrating in front of the United coach which Mourinho also addressed.
What do you think about the game between Chelsea and Manchester United?

We had some serious thunderstorms this week and got a good drenching which was very much needed. I love thunderstorms so it was heavenly to be sitting in the home office working right beside the window and enjoying the sights and sounds of the rain.
We had a visitor a few days ago. The Husband and I were looking out into the back yard one afternoon and out of the woods (our house backs up to a preserve) walks this little guy. He stayed close to the tree line but lingered for several minutes. I'm not at all outdoorsy (bahahaha!), nor am I an "animal person", but even I had to admit it was quite a sight.
I attended another virtual book event this week. On Wednesday night the Cary Memorial Library (I believe they're in Massachusetts) hosted a live talk with Kennedy Ryan and Sonali Dav. They covered some really timely topics and it was so interesting to hear their thoughts. And Kennedy answered a question I posed so that was pretty fun! :) If you're interested, the library has posted the video on their YouTube channel.
This week's 80's music fix is Avalon by Roxy Music (1982). One of the most gorgeous songs ever. Everything about this one just transports me - the music, the melody, Bryan Ferry's voice. Simply beautiful.

Half-angel Trinity and her bonded gargoyle protector, Zayne, have been working with demons to stop the apocalypse while avoiding falling in love. The Harbinger is coming…but who or what is it? All of humankind may fall if Trinity and Zayne can't win the race against time as dark forces gather.
As tensions rise, they must stay close together and patrol the DC streets at night, seeking signs of the Harbinger, an entity that is killing Wardens and demons with no seeming rhyme or reason. Forbidden to be with each other, Zayne and Trinity fight their feelings and turn to unusual sources for help—the demon Roth and his cohorts. But as deaths pile up and they uncover a sinister plot involving the local high school and endangering someone dear to Zayne, Trin realizes she is being led…herded…played for some unknown end. As anger builds and feelings spiral out of control, it becomes clear that rage may be the ruin of them all.
M Y T H O U G H T S
Wow. What a wild ride this was! Jennifer Armentrout totally kicked up the action and the intensity in Rage and Ruin. Half-angel Trinity is teamed up with her Warden (gargoyle) protector Zayne in an effort to find and destroy the Harbinger. The only problem: they don't know who or what the Harbinger is; only that it is killing demons and Wardens alike. With so much on the line (just the fate of the whole world), Trinity and Zayne pull out all the stops to find the Harbinger before it's too late while also fighting their growing feelings for each other.
Rage and ruin had not corrupted me. They powered me.
Rage and Ruin picked up right where Storm and Fury left off. Trinity is dealing with the aftermath of those events – or rather, she's trying to carry on while not really dealing with what happened. Her father's vague warnings about the Harbinger weren't exactly helpful and she and Zayne are basically feeling around blindly in the dark trying to catch an unknown entity. Like a needle in a haystack. Enter Roth, the Crown Prince of Hell himself. I loved that Roth played such a big role in this entry and he was right there in all his uber-hot, snarky, less-than-humble glory.
Complicating matters was the serious attraction between Trinity and Zayne that was growing into something a whole lot deeper. Which was, unfortunately, also something that was a whole lot forbidden. I'll admit I was never really on the Zayne Train in the original Dark Elements trilogy (100% #TeamRoth, baby), but here in this series, with Trinity, I can totally see Zayne's appeal. This guy is an absolute rock (gargoyle… rock… see what I did there?) in his support of Trinity. He is protective without ever holding her back, he's in awe of her strength without ever being threatened by it, and he works around her eyesight issues with care and concern and not pity. There was so much tension and chemistry between these two and the push and pull going on was delicious torture.
There was a fantastic build-up going on throughout the book and Armentrout did an amazing job amping up the stakes and providing plenty of action leading up to the final climax. And what an ending it was! People, when I say I was shocked by the final showdown, I mean I was floored. I reread the same scene over and over, thinking I had to be misunderstanding something. I had to be missing something. This couldn't be happening. I'll say it: I cried buckets. And then yet another twist in the final chapter left me reeling once more. My mind was blown. I was not okay. I can't decide if Jennifer Armentrout is an evil sadist who obviously feeds on the tears of her readers (sorry Jennifer, nothing but love… really) or a plotting genius who knows how to write one epic cliffhanger. Because like I said, I am not okay.
If you love Jennifer Armentrout, if you love paranormal/urban fantasy, if you love kick-ass heroines who are still totally vulnerable, if you love swoony heroes, and lots of action, and plenty of humor, and plot twists that will blow your little mind… do yourself a favor and read this series. Grab Storm and Fury and then dive right into Rage and Ruin. And then you can join me in the tortuous wait for the final book.

#1 New York Times and #1 International Bestselling author Jennifer lives in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. All the rumors you've heard about her state aren't true. When she's not hard at work writing. she spends her time reading, watching really bad zombie movies, pretending to write, hanging out with her husband and her Border Jack Apollo, six judgemental alpacas, two rude goats, and five fluffy sheep. In early 2015, Jennifer was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a group of rare genetic disorders that involve a breakdown and death of cells in the retina, eventually resulting in loss of vision, among other complications. Due to this diagnosis, educating people on the varying degrees of blindness has become of passion of hers, right alongside writing, which she plans to do as long as she can.

Blog / Promo Tour: Queen Move by Kennedy Ryan
I never miss a chance to sing the praises of Kennedy Ryan. I've read six of her books so far and I continue to work my way through both her backlist and her new releases. She is one of those rare breed of authors for me - one who is capable of creating characters who are so multi-dimensional that they feel completely real, and testing them in ways that is utterly realistic. She writes in a way that engages all my emotions and has me fully invested every time. So it's no surprise that I am plenty excited for her latest release, Queen Move. Are you ready for Kimba and Ezra's story? Because I sure am.

"You're fucking brilliant."
"Huh?" Ezra asks absentmindedly, paying more attention to the flame under his pan than to my compliment. "What'd you say?"
"I said you're brilliant." I hold up the iPad I'm using to read his manuscript. "Your book, the YLA story, is incredible, Ez."
"Oh. Thanks." He flashes me a smile and then goes back to his French toast. "The key to getting this right is the milk-to-bread ratio."
I hop off the counter and walk over to stand beside him at the stove. "Would you forget about your French toast for a minute and listen to me?"
"But it's stuffed French toast." He takes the pan off the burner and pulls me into his arms. "And I could listen to you all day. What were you saying? Something about me being a handsome, sexy genius?"
"Um…those weren't my exact words." I laugh up at him.
"I could have sworn that's what you said, and I'm never wrong." He slides his hands over my ass in a pair of his boxer shorts. "Some even say I'm fucking brilliant."
"They probably just like your big dick," I whisper and blink up at him as innocently as I can manage.
"I get that a lot." He drops a kiss on my head and turns back to his French toast. I lean down to rest an elbow on the counter and watch him work.
"A lot?" I ask teasingly. "Have there been a lot?"
He pauses mid-toast-flip and slants me a glance. "Are you asking how many people I've had sex with?"
"I mean, it's none of my business. If you don't want to—"
Eight?
Lord above, only eight?!
"Oh." I straighten and rest my hip against the counter. "What a, um, single-digit number that is."
What about me? I'm tabulating years of hook-ups, one-night stands, fuck bois and carrying the one.
"If you don't want to," he says, cracking an egg into a bowl, "it's fine. I don't care how many people—"
He glances up from whisking eggs, a small frown puckering his dark brows. "You don't know what?"
"My number. I don't know how many people I've been with."
He resumes whisking, his frown clearing. "Oh."
The whisking eggs and whirring refrigerator are the only sounds in the kitchen. I've never been embarrassed by my choices. I enjoy sex. I've had it with a lot of people. People I really liked…or tolerated…but didn't want to commit to. I've always been safe and never mean about it. I was upfront, and when someone wanted more, I let them know "more" wasn't an option.
"I just never…" I cross my arms over my stomach, fold one bare foot over the other. "I haven't been interested in committed relationships. There hasn't been anyone I wanted that with."
"Tru." He stops whisking and gives me the full impact of his undivided attention. His eyes are placid blue. No shadows or undercurrents. "I don't care." Ezra pushes the bowl aside and faces me. "But there is something I feel like we should be clear on regarding how you've handled sex in the past."
"You've never wanted to commit before," he says.
"Right. I've never wanted any strings attached."
"I know I said we could be just sex, no emotional attachments." He shoves his hands in his pockets. "But I feel like I have to be honest with you. Having you back in my life has been…it's been exactly what I need, and what I felt last night… I've never felt that way before."
I'm not even sure my heart is beating, but it also feels like there's a tumult in my chest. "What are you saying, Ez?"
His mouth flattens into a hard line and his jaw hardens to stone. "I want strings."
"Y-you do?"
"I want strings." He links our fingers, strokes his thumb across my palm. "Ropes, if necessary. I want anything that keeps you with me and me with you and tells everyone else don't even think about it."
I'm stunned and incredibly turned on, but that doesn't take much where Ezra's concerned.
"You…you do?" I ask faintly…again.
"I wouldn't do well sharing you."

WWW Wednesday #89 | May 27, 2020
It rained all day yesterday - like, from 7 AM right through the evening - and it was fabulous. I love a good stormy/rainy day and this was the first one we'd had in a month or more. Today is supposed to bring even more rain and I am so here for it. *starts singing Here Comes the Rain Again*
I'm attending another virtual book event tonight that I'm excited about. A couple weeks ago it was Jennifer Weiner for the release of Big Summer and tonight it's Kennedy Ryan for the release of Queen Move. I've seen her interviewed before and she was so interesting and I loved hearing what she had to say. So, no calls after 7:00 tonight, okay? I'm busy. :)
Currently reading: I just started That Forever Girl last night so I'm barely even into it, but I'm ready to get Rogan's story. This series focuses on four brother in a small town in Maine. From what I could tell in the first book, Rogan is broody and bad-tempered and has a chip on his shoulder because of something that happened to him in the past. I already have an inkling of what it is so I'm interested to get his story. And this book picked up right where the first one left off (like, the exact same scene) so it's fun to get his reaction to something that happened there. I'm excited to see how his story plays out.
Current progress: page 15/351
Currently listening: I decided I was on a roll with Emma Chase and, after listening to Royally Yours and then Tamed, decided to keep it going with Tied, the last book in the Tangled series. Once again, it's told from Drew's POV which I mostly love but he really can be such an ass sometimes. I mean, he loves and adores Kate, but sometimes the stuff that comes out of his mouth... I just have to laugh. And his constant bickering with Dee - man, he can be brutal. But it's also hilarious and I laugh out loud so many times while listening. Emma Chase is *so* good with humor.
Current progress: 50%
Tamed (Tangled #3) - Emma Chase
Read: That Second Chance was my first from Meghan Quinn and while it's not like it became an all-time favorite or anything, it was still a solid read and I really enjoyed it. Both main characters were so completely likable and it was easy to just pull for them both and want them to be together. They acted like adults, they talked (*gasp!*), and they were genuine with each other. Griffin's action made total sense based on his past and there wasn't any unnecessary drama. *throws confetti* I loved Griffin's family and all the secondary characters and can definitely see myself bingeing all four books.
Listened to: Tamed was Matthew and Dee's story and, like all of Emma Chase's books, a lot of fun. It was told completely from Matthew's point of view, which I liked, and Chase does a male POV so well. I did get pretty fed up with Dee by two-thirds in or so because it felt like Matthew was the one putting in all the effort and doing all the chasing, while she would get mad or get upset and shut him out. It felt one-sided and I was glad to see Matthew get tired of it, too, and call her out on it. You tell her, Matthew!
That Secret Crush (Getting Lucky #3) - Meghan Quinn
Might as well stay the course and continue on with the Knightly brothers. :)
It's been a rather uneventful week... in a good way. I continue to work from home (week 10 is in the books) and The Husband actually worked a half day as a consultant of sorts for a company he dealt with before he retired. He wore a mask and gloves while at their office... and was the only one doing so. People are going to do what feels right for them... but it doesn't mean I understand it. *sigh*
It was miserably hot for most of the week, and humid on top of it, so we actually moved the Friday night driveway picnic inside. It's the first time anyone has stepped foot in our house since early March. We still kept our distance (my mom at one end of the table and us at the other) and we never touched but it still felt ever so slightly more normal. Crazy how keeping distant inside the house somehow managed to feel more normal, just because someone was actually inside with us.
I won a giveaway from the lovely Renee at Addicted to Romance so I received book mail this week. The best kind of mail! I'm so excited for all of these pretties.
While most people in the U.S. are excited for a three day weekend (although it might be spent a bit differently this year), it's about more than a day at the beach and barbecues. It's a time to honor those who lost their lives while serving this country. They so deserve our respect and gratitude.

Books From the Backlog is hosted by Carole's Random Life in Books and is a way to feature
some of those neglected, unread books sitting on our bookshelves.
As I mentioned in yesterday's WWW Wednesday post, I've been feeling particularly uninspired when it comes to posting. Visiting other blogs? I'm on it. Commenting? Yep, I'm there for that, too. But here at home base? Yeah, not feeling it so much. So in my search for enlightenment inspiration, I remembered Carole's Books from the Backlog feature and decided to take part. And now for the deep dive into the recesses of my bookshelves...
The Diplomat's Wife (The Kommandant's Girl #2)
Average Goodreads rating: 3.93
Synopsis: How have I been lucky enough to come here, to be alive, when so many others are not? I should have died.… But I am here.
1945. Surviving the brutality of a Nazi prison camp, Marta Nederman is lucky to have escaped with her life. Recovering from the horror, she meets Paul, an American soldier who gives her hope of a happier future. But their plans to meet in London are dashed when Paul's plane crashes.
Devastated and pregnant, Marta marries Simon, a caring British diplomat, and glimpses the joy that home and family can bring. But her happiness is threatened when she learns of a Communist spy in British intelligence, and that the one person who can expose the traitor is connected to her past.
Why I Added This Book to My Shelves
I read The Kommandant's Girl by Jenoff back in 2013 and it was such a moving story. Another spotlight on the roles some women played during WW II, the harrowing circumstances they endured, and the bravery they showed. The Diplomat's Wife isn't a sequel but more a companion novel in the series.
I tend to enjoy historical fiction, particularly the WW II-era setting. But it's not something I pick up on a whim; it's very much a genre I have to be in the mood for.
How about you? Have you read this book?
If you read historical fiction, what time period/setting do you prefer?
Labels: books from the backlog, meme, tbr
Welcome to Week 10 of this madness. My stepdaughter posted a pic of a t-shirt on Facebook that read "So Over This Shit" and I had to laugh. That about sums it up, right? ;)
I have felt wholly uninspired this week when it comes to blogging. I've been visiting and commenting but when it comes to posting... yeah, just not feeling it. I have about a bajillion reviews I could write and post but... you guessed it, not feeling that, either. In the meantime, I'll just keep on reading. :)
Currently reading: That Second Chance is my first from Meghan Quinn and so far I'm really enjoying it. The humor can be a little silly for my taste at times, but overall it's a good story. The main characters are just so likable, especially Griffin, who is a total sweetheart. Assuming this one continues as it is, I'll be happy to continue the series and read about the rest of the Knightly brothers.
Currently listening: I'm almost done with Tamed - only 45 minutes or so to go - so I'll finish it this morning while I'm working. It's classic Emma Chase and I love that it's completely from Matthew's POV. I am enjoying it but I've gotta say, I'm pretty over Dee right now. She needs to step it up and make an effort or she doesn't deserve the good guy that Matthew is. There... I have spoken. :)
Oh. My. Goodness. Rage and Ruin about did me in. Yes it was long (600 pages) but it was actually a fast read and there was plenty of action and twists to keep the story moving. The final climactic scene had me crying and sniffling and thinking Jen was a sadistic troll. And the last few pages had me totally shook - staring off into space, unbelieving, and thinking Jen was a twisted genius. So I guess it's pretty pitiful that this one doesn't even release until next month and I'm already desperate for the next book. Yeah, this is not a good feeling.
Obviously I didn't pick up any of these as my next read last week. I mean, did anyone really think I would? LOL So just for funsies, let's stick with the same three possibilities. That way we can laugh about it again next week.

Senator Scott Reintroduces Bill to Improve Data Collection Around Officer-Related Shootings
Washington - In an effort to improve data collecting methods at local law enforcement agencies, U.S. Senators Tim Scott (R-SC) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA) have reintroduced the Walter Scott Notification Act. The bill would require states that receive federal funds for their law enforcement program to properly document all relevant details surrounding an officer-related shooting that results in a civilian casualty.
"When it comes to tracking police shootings, we need a data system built for the 21st century," Scott said. "I introduced this legislation with my good friend, Senator Grassley, in hopes of capturing more details and facts so that we can better address the issues that lead to officer-related shooting deaths. I believe this can help us keep both our officers and our communities safer."
"Police officers put themselves into harm's way for our safety every day, and anytime an officer uses deadly force is a tragedy. We don't currently have a comprehensive system to learn more about these events so that we can better prevent them in the future. The data we collect under this legislation will be an invaluable resource for law enforcement, the public and for policymakers. The more we know about the circumstances around officer-related shootings, the safer we can make our communities for everyone," Grassley said. "I am proud to partner with Senator Scott on such important legislation."
Under the proposed legislation, states would be required to keep track of a number of data points, including name, race, description of event, and overall circumstances that led up to the weapon being discharged. A state that fails to comply with the prescribed requirements could be subject to a ten percent reduction in federal grant funds.
The legislation is named after Walter Scott, a South Carolina-native who was fatally shot by former North Charleston Police Officer Michael Slager on April 4, 2015. The incident received nationwide attention after video footage showed Slager shot Walter Scott in the back as he attempted to flee the scene following a traffic stop triggered by a broken brake light. Just over two years after the incident, Slager pleaded guilty to violating Walter Scott's civil rights.

For more than a decade, The New Criterion has devoted a large portion of its April issue to poetry, offering both an expanded section of verse (we are particularly proud of "More Like the Stars," Christian Wiman's haunting meditation on mortality) and a clutch of reviews and essays on poets and their art.
There are many reasons that we devote special attention to poetry, beginning with the centrality of the art in the patrimony of human culture. Whether poetry continues to occupy a central position—or even a position of importance—in the hurly-burly of contemporary culture is an interesting, and doubtless an open, question. To be sure, every teacher, and probably most parents, "approve" of poetry (if not necessarily of poets). Poetry is one of those certified "good things" of which one is naturally in favor. But approval does not entail acquaintance, let alone mastery. Nor does it entail the vitality of the thing approved. An interesting history might be written of those human activities that, from the point of view of established taste, have made the journey from urgent requirement through commendable accomplishment to respectable curiosity. It pains us to acknowledge that poetry would probably merit a place in that melancholy narrative.
We hasten to add, however, that the same might be said for much traditional cultural endeavor—much, that is to say, that figures centrally in the concerns of The New Criterion. We devote significant attention to poetry not because of its ranking on the bourse of cultural popularity but because of its intrinsic power and deep roots in the story of humanity's adventure in time. We live at a moment when many of the institutions traditionally entrusted to safeguard and transmit that power have passed on to other, more demotic entertainments. One marker of that passage is velocity. Woody Allen once quipped that he took a speed-reading course and was able to get through War and Peace in ten minutes. "It's about Russia," he deadpanned.
One of poetry's great gifts is to offer us lessons in slow reading. By resisting the intelligence "almost successfully," as Wallace Stevens put it, poetry trips us up, slows us down, makes us pause to consider, to deliberate, to savor. The resistance is as important as the ultimate success. Sometimes, indeed, it is the success. The cognitive friction that poetry involves is especially valuable at a time when speed is king. The risible idea of reading War and Peace in ten minutes underscores the philistinism of confusing reading with the acquisition of information. In "Burnt Norton," the first of his Four Quartets, T. S. Eliot lamented being "distracted by distraction from distraction." That was before the term "sound bite" had been coined, before the internet and its proliferating goads to the inattentive attentions of the instantaneous: to email, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. In New Grub Street (1891), George Gissing satirizes the journalistic mores of his time. Toward the end of the novel, a few characters are discussing a new publication designed to appeal to "the quarter educated, the young men and women who can just read, but are incapable of sustained attention." Its working title is Chat, but that is too weighty. In order to succeed, it needs to be rebaptized. "Chat doesn't attract anyone, but Chit-Chat would sell like hot cakes."The contents would be true to the title: "No article in the paper is to measure more than two inches in length, and every inch must be broken into at least two paragraphs." Twitter, weighing in with a maximum of 140 characters per Tweet, further perfects this dream.
It may be worth noting that poetry, like all human activities, is susceptible to perversion. There are contemporary "schools" or movements of poetry that endeavor to exploit, rather than resist, the aimless detritus of our digital cacophony, glorying in new variations of the aleatory. But there is also "music" indistinguishable from tribal grunting. Back in 2011, The New York Times, that reliable chameleon on the motley of the moment, breathlessly reported that "there's evidence that the literary flowering of Twitter may actually be taking place. The Twitter haiku movement—'twaiku' to its initiates—is well under way." We don't doubt it. But while such phenomena may provide employment for sociologists, anthropologists, and specialists in mental and psychological incapacity, they have little to tell us, except by way of contrast, about poetry in any vital sense.
Frost creates an aural analog of the poem's meaning, in which the sound is the sense. The compulsive divisions in the language . . . work out that division in the ear. I'm not sure if this fundamental structural principle in the poem has been elaborated previously; if it has, I am unaware of it. All I can say is that I first heard it before I saw it.
things that would never be quite expressed, Where you yourself were never quite yourself And did not want nor have to be . . .
O Rose thou art sick. The invisible worm, That flies in the night In the howling storm: Has found out thy bed Of crimson joy: And his dark secret love Does thy life destroy.
"All goes swimmingly," Fussell observes, "until line seven." The iambic-anapestic rhythm trips along pretty regularly. Then this happens: "And h?s/dark sec/ret love . . ." The spondee—it's the only one in the poem—is the rhythmic and the semantic consummation of the poem. "The meter conducts the argument," Fussell writes. "The meter is the poem."

Purple Zealios V2 Switches (Tactile) – Zeal Generation Inc.
Switches are now sold in bundles of 10. One order = 10x switches. Ten orders = 100x switches! All Zealio V2 have reduced wobble that's less than Holy Pandas, while managing to be even more tactile with a bigger, smoother bump as well. Bump starts at the very top of the keypress, no pre-travel.
Zealio V2 switches come in 4 variants. They are rated at "bottom out" force, not actuation! Version 2 of our switches feature a bigger tactile bump when compared to our previous Zealios. Pictures will be provided shortly.
62g Zealios - Smooth, crisp and light, a bit heavier than MX Browns in weight, but offer a much smoother experience with a crisper and large tactile bump feedback when compared to Holy Pandas. Lightest variant Zealio.
65g Zealios - Smooth, long, drawn out tactile bump from the top. Nice cushion during bottom out.
67g Zealios - "Crisp & responsive" tactile bump feeling at the very top with more cushion during bottom out than 65g Zealios V2.
78g Zealios - For those that prefer a slightly lighter MX Clear, but want a bigger and smoother bump than MX Clears / Holy Pandas. Tactile bump is round and snappy at the very top. From beginning to end, the spring is heavier than all other Zealio variants.
Please note that PCB mounted switches can still be used in many plate mounted keyboards. As long as your PCB underneath has 2 extra holes next to the center post, it will support PCB Mounted switches and add extra rigidity to your build. If your PCB does not have the extra holes, then you can simply cut the small plastic legs off to make them Plate-Mount!
Volume orders over 20,000 switches can be submitted through the "contact us" form on ZealPC.net. When submitting your bulk order, please include desired volume of said product and targeted price per unit. Thank you.
