No matter how much we want to be closer to the city's center, to have all those conveniences and creature comforts close at hand, if one lives in a space that does not have a plot of land with greenery in it, life it just not complete. A piece of land, lush and green, lined with your favourite trees and flowers, with space to set up a barbecue, or maybe hang out a hammock upon which to laze a quiet Sunday afternoon away with a good book. There is truly nothing more special than a patch of vegetation, no matter how big or small it may be.
A plot of land, not built upon, provides much needed sanity and release from the stresses of a work day. It's your own little park right at your doorstep, upon which to toss a ball around with your children. Your puppy's playground, for his first taste of adventure. Yes indeed, a patch of lawn, surrounded by trees, bushes and shrubs and lots of colourful flowers is a most wonderful thing.
However, the proverbial question arises; of the difficulty in finding the time to maintain all of this flora. It cannot be allowed to grow wild. Not only would it become unsightly, it will also become home to all kinds of unwanted animals and rodents. Without timely maintenance, your once beautiful Eden could actually turn against you.
If you live on the eastern side of Sydney in Australia, help is just a phone call away! Garden maintenance is out forte, and we take great pride in our work. Whether you are just moving in to a new property and require your land to be landscaped in to the perfect backyard park, or whether you have modeled your land yourself, and just require that it be taken care of periodically, we're the ones you should call.
We will have an initial consultation with you, and decide on the best way to lay your lawn, and plot out the best trees, plants, herbs, bushes and of course, factor in your favourite flowers to create the perfect patch of greenery. Garden maintenance in Randwick is an art, and this neck of the woods, you'll be hard pressed to find better artist than us. Yes, we are proud of what we have done thus far, and we are confident in what we are capable of doing for you as well.
So call now. We will provide you with an initial, obligation free consultation. Together, we can create the perfect patch of greenery that would make your house the perfect home.


Municipal bond exchange traded funds have been a stalwart component of many fixed-income portfolios, and the construction of Continuing Care Retirement Communities, or CCRCs, may be a growing segment of the munis space as the baby boomer generation look to their golden years.
CCRCs make up about $34 billion worth of the municipal debt market, with the majority of these debt securities falling into the high-yield/unrated segment, Jim Colby, Portfolio Manager for VanEck, said in a research note.
"We expect this segment of the muni high yield market to continue to grow given the aging population in the U.S. and its increased need for residential healthcare options. In terms of market size, CCRCs are approximately the same size as the tobacco bonds segment within the muni high yield market," Colby said.
To put this in perspective, the VanEck Vectors High Yield Municipal Index ETF (NYSEArca: HYD) includes an 18.6% tilt toward tobacco and the shorter duration VanEck Vectors Short High-Yield Municipal Index ETF (NYSEArca: SHYD) has a 10.4% position in tobacco.

Q: Efficient way to get a part of a CSV file using PHP Lets say I need all data from row 50 to row 100 from a CSV file.
I was wondering if there is a more efficient way from looping through every row and check if the current row is between 50 and 100?
Right now I have a simple code which works fine, but if I want a range towards the end of the CSV file then it becomes a bit slow.
$start = 200000;
$end = 200050;
$handle = fopen("test.csv", "r");
$i = 0;
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
if(($start <= $i) && ($i <= $end)) {
    echo $data[0] . ' - ' . $data[1] . ' - ' . $data[2] . ' - ' . $data[3];
    echo '
';
}
elseif($i > $end) {
    break;
}
$i++;
}

fclose($handle);

Is there a way maybe to use an offset or something similar so I don't have to loop through every single line?
UPDATE:
The solution needs to work with larger files. Memory is limited, so reading in the whole file into the memory won't work.

A: You could use:
$filename = "data.csv";

// Read the file into an array
$lines = file($filename);

// Output the 50th line
echo $lines[49];

So, using your example you could easily output the 50 lines you require using:
for($i=0; $i<50; $i++) {
    echo $lines[$i + 50] . '
;
}

Check out the documentation on PHP's file function

A: Following code will read large file line by line
<?php
    function readLine ($linenum,$fh) {
                $line = fgets ($fh, 4096);
                $pos = -1;
                $i = 0;

                while (!feof($fh) && $i<($linenum-1)) {
                    $char = fgetc($fh);
                    if ($char != "\n" && $char != "\r") {
                        fseek($fh, $pos, SEEK_SET);
                        $pos ++;
                    }
                    else $i ++;
                }
                $line = fgets($fh);
                return $line;
            } //readLine()
    ?>

A: Okay, so you've got a CSV data file, potentially containing large numbers of records, and you need to be able to dive into to to do direct reads from further down the file without having to read the rest of the file first.
Yes, this can be done -- you will need to use fseek() to move the file position pointer:
$handle = fopen(....);
....
$startAt = 10000;
$success = fseek($handle, $startAt);
$data = fgets($fp, 1000);  //read the next 1000 bytes of the file after the starting position.

However, this will not be as easy for you as that example makes it look.
Your CSV data almost certainly has variable-length lines. This means you can't just tell it to jump to a particular byte position and know what line that is. You will have to have a way to know the specific starting byte position for the record you want to jump to. And if any records are edited, those byte position you remembered previously will become incorrect.
If you're just using this for pagination, then you could get away with remembering the byte positions for the previous pages and calculating the start of the next page by current pos +1.
But jumping to arbitrary records around the file -- eg random access, given a record number -- will be virtually impossible unless you keep an up-to-date index of the byte positions of where all the line endings are. (if you do this, then you'll have effectively implemented a basic ISAM database)
The real question is why (per your comment) a database is out of the question. Okay, so maybe you can't install mySQL, but a simple SQLite database can be created and managed entirely from within your PHP program, and only creates a single file on disk; in that respect it's almost as convenient as a CSV, and certainly easier to work with if you've got more than a trivial amount of data.

Amazon may have just released the most confusingly named product to date, especially if you're a Java developer.
At AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas, Amazon announced mainstream availability of its compute service AWS Lambda. The big sell on it is that it can recognize and respond immediately to server-side events, performing functions and processing data as soon as something interesting happens. For example, if an end user uploads an image to the system, admins can configure AWS Lambda to create thumbnails images, perform facial recognition processes and save the results in Amazon S3. And of course, the whole thing comes with the standard Amazon promise of being able to access high-availability systems, run processes within a millisecond of the event being triggered – with efficiency and cost effectiveness built-in.
But here's the problem: This new AWS Service shares its name with Project Lambda, the major Java initiative that brought functional programming to the JVM. As far as Java developers go, lambda is a concept that is tied very tightly with Java 8 and the evolution of the language. Of course, it's not possible to call, "stamped it, no erasies" on the 11th letter of the Greek alphabet. So Amazon hasn't done anything wrong, but it certainly is confusing for anyone that has done some Java programming in the past.
Looking at the sample code that is presented on their online tutorial, Java isn't even promoted as the development language. In fact, the sample "HelloWorld" application uses Node.js, let alone Java with a lambda function thrown in for good measure.
I'm surprised that this does not happen more often. Most companies keep their future projects under wraps with a code name that may or may not get leaked out. It may take years to release. Who's to say another company did not come up with the same code name for their project? Coincidence maybe, then again are there any new hires at Amazon that used to work for Java ??
Certainly of all the languages, Java has the least claim to the letter lambda.
It is just a name conflict, underlying feature is completely different, I don't think it is going to create confusion among Java developers. As you mentioned, aws Lambda is a powerful feature, even you can build serverless REST services with it, check this tutorial written for Java developers.

A Sheffield-based letting agent and prop-tech entrepreneur claims that traditional tenant referencing is dead, as it uses old and slow systems, has little technology support and is grossly overpriced.
For years, letting agents have had to use traditional referencing suppliers, who provide an expensive, out-dated service. They are mostly owned by large insurance companies, who use referencing simply as a lead generator to sell insurance products. Due to this, they operate on a call centre, tick-box process and if the tenant doesn't fit the insurance criteria, they fail.
Old school referencing has been unable to cater for the changing economy and employment trends. More and more UK workers are now part of the gig economy – contract, temporary and freelancers. Recent stats from The Office of National Statistics, show the level of self-employment in the UK rose from 3.3 million in 2001, to 4.8 million in 2017.
Neither have these legacy reference checks been able to accommodate the growing numbers of international students coming to study in the UK. Again, stats reveal a rise of 5%* more international enrolments compared with a year ago. (*Source: International Student Statistics 2018, Study in the UK).
Simon Tillyer, Director of SheffLets and Vouch commented: "With traditional paper-based referencing, a host of potential tenants have failed the out-dated checks, set up by large insurance firms. Many of these providers are resistant to change and have been slow to adopt emerging technologies. Furthermore, they don't have the technology to support Right to Rent. As a letting agent I know these systems do not work in the real world – there is no common sense approach and they fail to help agents and their landlords. To put it bluntly, their products are not fit for purpose.
"Agents have been paying upwards of £25 for a reference, which is grossly overpriced when you compare it with tech-driven references. The only reason tenant referencing has always been this expensive is because the insurance companies could get away with it. Agents have always had tenant fees to supplement the cost, but that is all about to change. Agents can't continue to pay the bill when there is no money coming in to cover it.
"We have developed a leading-edge, tenant referencing app to offer agents a fully automated, web-based system delivering significant cost savings, via a comprehensive, time-saving solution. Technology and applicants perform the tasks, meaning that agents simply monitor progress. Vouch creates efficiency in the tenant application process and improves business-wide productivity and profitability.
Vouch uses the latest technology to deliver a cost-saving solution and give agents control and flexibility they actually need. With the tenant fees ban just around the corner, Vouch also offers a range of services to help bring significant income back into the business.

Palmer v. State
Donald Ray Palmer, Plaintiff,
State of Arizona, et al., Defendants.
Michael T. Liburdi United States District Judge
Plaintiff Donald Ray Palmer, who is confined in the Arizona State Prison Complex-Lewis, has filed a pro se civil rights Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Doc. 1) and an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. 2). The Court will dismiss this action.
I. Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis and Filing Fee
The Court will grant Plaintiff's Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Plaintiff must pay the statutory filing fee of $350.00. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). The Court will not assess an initial partial filing fee. Id. The statutory filing fee will be collected monthly in payments of 20% of the previous month's income credited to Plaintiff's trust account each time the amount in the account exceeds $10.00. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2). The Court will enter a separate Order requiring the appropriate government agency to collect and forward the fees according to the statutory formula.
II. Statutory Screening of Prisoner Complaints
The Court is required to screen complaints brought by prisoners seeking relief against a governmental entity or an officer or an employee of a governmental entity. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). The Court must dismiss a complaint or portion thereof if a plaintiff has raised claims that are legally frivolous or malicious, that fail to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, or that seek monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from such relief. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1)-(2).
A pleading must contain a "short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief." Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a)(2) (emphasis added). While Rule 8 does not demand detailed factual allegations, "it demands more than an unadorned, the-defendant-unlawfully-harmed-me accusation." Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009). "Threadbare recitals of the elements of a cause of action, supported by mere conclusory statements, do not suffice." Id.
"[A] complaint must contain sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to 'state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.'" Id. (quoting Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570 (2007)). A claim is plausible "when the plaintiff pleads factual content that allows the court to draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged." Id. "Determining whether a complaint states a plausible claim for relief [is] . . . a context-specific task that requires the reviewing court to draw on its judicial experience and common sense." Id. at 679. Thus, although a plaintiff's specific factual allegations may be consistent with a constitutional claim, a court must assess whether there are other "more likely explanations" for a defendant's conduct. Id. at 681.
But as the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has instructed, courts must "continue to construe pro se filings liberally." Hebbe v. Pliler, 627 F.3d 338, 342 (9th Cir. 2010). A "complaint [filed by a pro se prisoner] 'must be held to less stringent standards than formal pleadings drafted by lawyers.'" Id. (quoting Erickson v. Pardus, 551 U.S. 89, 94 (2007) (per curiam)).
If the Court determines that a pleading could be cured by the allegation of other facts, a pro se litigant is entitled to an opportunity to amend a complaint before dismissal of the action. See Lopez v. Smith, 203 F.3d 1122, 1127-29 (9th Cir. 2000) (en banc). Plaintiff's Complaint will be dismissed for failure to state a claim, without leave to amend because the defects cannot be corrected.
III. Complaint
Plaintiff names the State of Arizona and former Arizona Department of Corrections Director Charles L. Ryan as Defendants in his two-count Complaint. Plaintiff seeks declaratory and injunctive relief and money damages.
Plaintiff alleges that prior to January 1, 1994, Arizona law authorized parole or commutation for an individual convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life with the possibility of release. In 1993, the Arizona Legislature eliminated life with parole for all offenses committed on or after January 1, 1994.
On March 2, 2005, Plaintiff was charged with attempted first-degree murder, drive-by shooting, aggravated assault, and being a prohibited possessor, with an enhancement for a dangerous nature prior conviction. Plaintiff was offered two plea agreements under which he would serve a maximum of 21 years in prison. On the advice of counsel, Plaintiff rejected the plea offer and exercised his right to trial by jury. On March 13, 2007, Plaintiff was convicted of attempted first-degree murder, drive-by shooting, and aggravated assault. Plaintiff alleges he was sentenced to "life with the possibility of parole after 25 years and all sentences in all three counts will concurrent under ...

mortimer Valla's review (This content has been automatically translated from French)" jog buttons and not too expensive"
I use it for 4 months. I also have a Frontier TranzPort but I use the battery with the system without son.
I like the configuration that is ultra-simple with software that does what you want. I set to work in the window of Logic audio / button to create a backup file before changing a button for the mod gain a start / stop button, a button to create silence and a button to normalize. I use the ring around the jog to implement the gain (+1, +2, +3 ... and the other way around -1, -2, -3 ...).
I use it for 6 months to control Logic Pro 7 and iMovie is class!
So it's a jog / shuttle that simply plugs into USB-compatible Mac (PPC or Intel), you just set yourself commands for more flexibility, but once done can not be without it!
Bought around 6 months ago, available in black or white.
I have a powermatt, less complete.
it is domed, 28mm high at the top.
the palm occurs naturally on the table, and touch the 5 buttons.
A shuttle, jog a 360 ° rotation (rotation infinite).
It can be used alone or with other ShuttleXpress or Shuttle Pro.
7 speeds possible and five programmable buttons.
We can combine several in string.
For a price of around € 50 to 1 / 6 / 2007.
This is the ideal choice (value for money) to control music software or video editing.

Ways We Use Fractions
Math for Teaching: Ways We Use Fractions
A fraction is a number, which can tell us about the relationship between two quantities. These two quantities provide information about the parts, the units we are considering and the whole. Determining the whole is important when working with fractions.
Thinking about fractions as unit fractions
This is 'two sixths'
but we could think about this as units of one-sixth
or we could also think about it as "two times the unit created by partitioning the whole into six equal parts"
Understanding unit fractions helps students develop fractions number sense and supports work with fractions operations.
2⁄6 can represent one or more of the following, depending on the context:
• a linear measure (read 'two sixths`).
o The number is defined by its distance from 0.
• a part-whole relationship (read 'two sixths') which is based upon a relative measure or a set:
o two-dimensional measures, such as an area or region, where an equal part is an equal area.
o three-dimensional measures, such as capacity or mass, where an equal part is an equal capacity or mass.
o sets, such as a collection of objects, where an equal part is an item in the set and equal parts are not necessarily identical. Attributes (e.g., colour, size, shape) may or may not be considered. For example, colour is important for the first set but not in the second two. Parts can be organized in an array, randomly, or in composite sets.
• a part-part relationship (read 'two to six').
o The parts are equivalent with respect to one attribute (not necessarily size). Ratio is frequently used for part to part relationships.
Linear measure example: 2 cm to 6 cm
Two-dimensional measure example:
2 equal areas shaded to 6 equal areas unshaded
Set example:
2 apples to 6 bananas
• a quotient
o a/b = a divided by b
2⁄6 = 2 ÷ 6 or 2 partitioned into 6 equal parts
• an operator
o a/b of a quantity (the whole)
The whole is assumed to be the quantity being multiplied by a/b. The fraction acts as a transformer by either enlarging or shrinking the operand.
2⁄6 of the area of the floor
2⁄6 of the people in the room
Each of these fraction meanings is included in the Ontario curriculum. Although within the curriculum for specific grades students are not expected to use all meanings, they sometimes use a mathematically correct fraction which is unexpected within the lesson focus. When educators understand each of these meanings, they are better able to assess student thinking as correct as well as connect that knowledge to the lesson focus.
For more information on these meanings, see Paying Attention to Fractions: K-12 on edugains.ca

zdigital What we said: It's been easy to dismiss Canadian popstar Shawn Mendes under the presumption that he's just another tween making palatable sugary songs, but his spot on Time's 2018 list of the 100 most influential people in the world tells another story ahead of album three. He's been campaigning to help people struggling with their mental health since his emergence back in 2014 and while he's making a lot of lilting, soft songs that channel lithe, Timberlake-meets-Daniel-Caesar falsetto, some of Mendes' output goes deeper than tender ruminations on love. 'In My Blood', for example, examines his anxiety disorder with a startling honesty for a mainstream teen star ("Laying on the bathroom floor, feeling nothing / I'm overwhelmed and insecure, give me something"). An album of candid, delicate pop finds Gen Z's ruling pop star levelling up.

VIDEO: Costa Zena Festival 2018 Breaks Guinness World Records
By John Stansfield , July 8, 2018	, Cruise Industry
On Saturday, July 7, Costa Cruises celebrated its 70th anniversary in Genoa, during Costa Zena Festival, together with the port city.
The waterslide, which was 340 metres long, had been designed and installed to break the Guinness World Record for the longest "slid" in 1 hour. Since 10 o'clock in the morning, locals and tourists had been experiencing the thrill of sliding in the central Via XX Settembre, helping to establish the new record of 775 km in 1 hour.
Costa Zena Festival set another incredible world record: for the longest string of bunting ever. A total of 2,070 traditional maritime signal flags for a length of 2 km: the numbers allowed Costa Cruises to reach its goal, climbing on the highest step of the podium. To signal the areas of the festival, the "Gran Pavese" was hosted on Genoa's streets, from Via XX Settembre to the Old Port.
The party celebrating Costa Cruises' 70th anniversary continued until night hours: the water slide remained opened for the entire afternoon until the last "slide", scheduled at 8:00 p.m. The Old Port and Piazza Caricamento were animated by more than 60 performers from all over Europe and 29 singers, DJs, and Genoese comedians.
In Piazza de Ferrari, kids had fun with games and workshops with Peppa Pig mascots and PJ Masks. Piazza delle Feste hosted all the comedy shows by Bruciabaracche, Maurizio Lastrico and many other Genoese comedians, while street musicians, dancers, artists, acrobats, continued to entertain the public at the Old Port and in Piazza Caricamento.
The big concert took place at 8.30 p.m. on Radio 105 stage opposite Piazza delle Feste and hosted some of the best loved singers and bands: Elodie, Michele Bravi, Francesco Gabbani, Ermal Meta, The Kolors, Irama and Moreno. An unmissable concert was staged by the everlasting couple Al Bano and Romina Power from 20:30 at Arena del Mare, singing together again to celebrate "Happiness", the theme particularly dear to Costa Cruises.

When did people discover that the Sun is a star? (Intermediate)
Answered by Cathy Jordan
Historically, when did people realize that the Sun is a star?
As this wonderful website explains, the first person to come up with the idea that stars and the Sun are the same thing, just at different distances, was Anaxagoras, in about 450 B.C. Later, Aristarchus, around 220 B.C., thought similarly. In 1600 A.D., Giordano Bruno was burnt at the stake for heresy, for asserting that the Sun is a star, among other things. It wasn't until the mid-1800s, after the work of Galileo, Kepler, Huygens, Newton, and finally, Friedrich Bessel, that it could be proven. The distance to other stars was calculated, and it was found that stars were about as bright as the Sun, when you account for the difference in distance. Also, chemical composition and surface temperature could be determined, and this added further evidence.

Otters show up in Knoxville's Third Creek
Steve Ahillen
Ryan Duley heard some splashing along Third Creek on a recent afternoon and wondered who was playing in the water.
It was hot. He had taken his infant son out for a stroller ride on the Third Creek Greenway and he was at the wooden bridge near where the Sutherland Avenue access trail joins the main route.
Imagine his surprise to find three otters splashing about.
"They swam over to see me, but my son cried in his stroller, and they turned and went back to whatever they were doing," Duley said. "I picked my son up and we watched for a minute, but it was hot so we didn't stay long."
► More:Indian Boundary hike beautiful part of Cherohala Skyway experience
He said he hasn't heard of anyone else spotting the otters and he hasn't been back to that area of the creek.
Otter sightings in the Knoxville area are rare, but hardly unheard of.
"It is not unusual or unexpected to see otters in the water around here," said Craig Harper, University of Tennessee professor and extension wildlife specialist. "They flourish in areas with sufficient amounts of fish."
"(The Duleys) were lucky to see something like that," said Mike McMillan of McMillan Wildlife Control Service.
"You can sometimes see otters around marinas or other places on a lake all day, but to see three on a creek in the middle of the day is unusual. They usually come out in the evening when no one is around."
► More:5 kid-friendly places to watch the eclipse
McMillan said at this time of year it's likely the trio were a mother teaching her two offspring to hunt.
Jake Hudson with Ijams Nature Center has been cleaning up trash at the mouths of the three creeks in downtown Knoxville for several years and estimated he has seen four otters in that time. He said he recently found a dead otter.
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency began restocking river otters in the state in 1984, releasing otters into the Obed Wild and Scenic River area.
The animal was reintroduced to major river systems beginning in 1993, and was taken off the endangered species list in 1999.
TWRA does not keep track of the otter population numbers in East Tennessee, but the agency's Dan Gibbs said they are common across the area.
"They were stocked back in the 1990s which is before my time, but I doubt they were stocked in Knox County. They just sort of found their way there," he said.
Gibbs added that now they are liable to show up almost anywhere.
"We usually hear about them when they are eating the fish out of someone's pond," he said, "when it's a nuisance thing."

'The Virago Book of Wanderlust and Dreams', edited by Lisa St. Aubin de Teran ****
'This collection of women's writing about travel spans over 400 years, five continents, and a variety of characters from cross-dressers to armchair travellers. The authors include: Angela Carter, Jung Chang, Karen Blixen, Marsha Hunt, Bernice Rubens, Harriet Wilson, Beryl Markham, and Dorothy Parker.'
The very idea of a Virago anthology is fantastic, and I have loved those which I have read to date. They open new worlds; they put one on the trail of authors they perhaps haven't heard of before, and individuals who pique the interest. Unlike The Virago Book of Food, for instance, I wasn't enamoured with every entry here, but I do love the thematic idea of wanderlust, travelling, and dreaming of places real and imagined. Equally lovely is the unifying thread which St. Aubin de Teran writes of in her introduction: 'courage in all its forms'.
There are many excerpts from novels here, and a couple from works of non-fiction or autobiography. My personal interest was heightened in the following authors, whom I will certainly endeavour to seek out in the months to come: Bernice Rubens, Buchi Emecheta, Emily Perkins, Louise Meriwether, Paris Franz, and Liane de Pougy. The collection, on the whole, is varied and engaging, and it was wonderful to see the inclusion of books as wonderful as A Woman in Berlin and Elizabeth von Arnim's Elizabeth and Her German Garden. The use of separate sections worked nicely, although the titles were often a little obscure, and didn't seem to relate to anything included in one instance.
Wanderlust & Dreams isn't the best Virago anthology which I have come across to date, but it is certainly entertaining and thoughtful, and is undoubtedly a good way to reconnect wit old favourites and discover something new.

'84 Charing Cross Road' and 'The Duchess of Bloomsbury' by Helene Hanff *****
December 15, 2016 | Kirsty
I first read 84 Charing Cross Road and its sequel, The Duchess of Bloomsbury, some years ago. In 2015, I had the opportunity to watch the darling, witty film adaptation, and a reread has been on the cards ever since. During September, I decided to pick it up once more.
The beautifully presented Sphere edition which I own contains both of the aforementioned, and from the very beginning, the entirety was so very comforting. My initial feeling on dipping back into its pages was one of sheer delight, which soon mutated into something akin to the lovely, comfortable wearing of my favourite oversized Thrice hoodie, circa 2009. Like a warm hug. Like a remnant of times gone by.
One cannot fail to be charmed by these volumes. They are lovely, if brief. 84 Charing Cross Road, as most are probably aware of by now, is a volume of correspondence written between New York resident Helene Hanff and Marks & Co., antiquarian booksellers (now, alas, closed) on Charing Cross Road, London. Helene's main correspondent at Marks & Co. was Frank Doel, chief buyer, but we are also treated to the letters of those who wrote to Helene only once or twice – other office staff, for instance, after receiving her Christmas parcels. Such friendships struck up here are lovely to get a glimpse into, particularly as they progress from one year to the next. The letters span a twenty year period, which is incredible in itself if one thinks about it.
The Duchess of Bloomsbury is written in diary format, and closely follows the daily write-up of what Hanff did whilst in London on a book tour to celebrate the success (and British publication) of 84 Charing Cross Road. Sadly, when Hanff arrived in the city which she had dreamed of for so long, Frank Doel had passed away, and the bookshop was just an empty shell, the only remnant of the successful shop the letters which spelt out 'Marks & Co.' on the outside of the building.
Culturally, the sequel is fascinating. London is a city I know very well indeed, and it was amazing to me to read about the ways in which it has changed in just a few decades. Of course, some of it is absolutely the same, and the majority is easily recognisable, but the atmosphere has completely changed by the sound of Hanff's recollections. People were polite then. They held doors open and everything. Hanff, and the way in which she recounts every little detail, is charming and amusing. The Duchess of Bloomsbury is a lovely piece of travel literature, and a wonderful sequel.
It must be said (and probably goes without saying, if you are at all familiar with her character) that I adore how sassy Hanff is, and how wonderfully creative her responses are. She has a British sense of humour, when it boils down to it; she often speaks of fellow Americans who have no idea what she is speaking about. The importance of small kindnesses is demonstrated throughout, and both books are absolutely lovely.

Reading Iceland
February 23, 2016 | Kirsty
I am currently enjoying a week in Iceland with my boyfriend (hooray for scheduling posts ahead of time!), and thought I would coincide this with a post recommending several books set in Iceland. Whilst there are many more books published in the country's healthy book industry than are translated into English, there is still a plethora of wondrous works which are well worth a read. The books which I would recommend are as follows. For each, I have copied their blurb to give you an idea of the story.
Fish Can Sing by Halldor Laxness
'Abandoned as a baby, Alfgrimur is content to spend his days as a fisherman living in the turf cottage outside Reykjavik with the elderly couple he calls grandmother and grandfather. There he shares the mid-loft with a motley bunch of eccentrics and philosophers who find refuge in the simple respect for their fellow men that is the ethos at the Brekkukot. But the narrow horizons of Alfgrimur's idyllic childhood are challenged when he starts school and meets Iceland's most famous singer, the mysterious Garoar Holm. Garoar encourages him to aim for the "one true note", but how can he attain it without leaving behind the world that he loves?'
The Blue Fox by Sjon
'The year is 1883. The stark Icelandic winter landscape is the backdrop. We follow the priest, Skugga-Baldur, on his hunt for the enigmatic blue fox. We're then transported to the world of the naturalist Friethrik B. Friethriksson and his charge, Abba, who suffers from Down's syndrome, and who came to his rescue when he was on the verge of disaster. Then to a shipwreck off the Icelandic coast in the spring of 1868. The fates of Friethrik, Abba and Baldur are intrinsically bound and unravelled in this spellbinding book that is part thriller, part fairy tale.'
The Poetic Edda, edited by Carolyne Larrington
'After the terrible conflagration of Ragnarok, the earth rises serenely again from the ocean, and life is renewed. The Poetic Edda begins with The Seeress's Prophecy which recounts the creation of the world, and looks forward to its destruction and rebirth. In this great collection of Norse-Icelandic mythological and heroic poetry, the exploits of gods and humans are related. The one-eyed Odin, red-bearded Thor, Loki the trickster, the lovely goddesses and the giants who are their enemies walk beside the heroic Helgi, Sigurd the Dragon-Slayer, Brynhild the shield-maiden, and the implacable Gudrun. New in this revised translation are the quest-poem The Lay of Svipdag and The Waking of Angantyr, in which a girl faces down her dead father to retrieve his sword. Comic, tragic, instructive, grandiose, witty and profound, the poems of the Edda have influenced artists from Wagner to Tolkien and a new generation of video-game and film makers.'
Letters from Iceland by W.H. Auden and Louis MacNeice
I reviewed this comprehensively on the blog recently.
Ragnarok by A.S. Byatt
'Recently evacuated to the British countryside and with World War Two raging around her, one young girl is struggling to make sense of her life. Then she is given a book of ancient Norse legends and her inner and outer worlds are transformed. Intensely autobigraphical and linguistically stunning, this book is a landmark work of fiction from one of Britain's truly great writers. Intensely timely it is a book about how stories can give us the courage to face our own demise. The Ragnarok myth, otherwise known as the Twilight of the Gods, plays out the endgame of Norse mythology. It is the myth in which the gods Odin, Freya and Thor die, the sun and moon are swallowed by the wolf Fenrir, the serpent Midgard eats his own tale as he crushes the world and the seas boil with poison. It is only after such monstrous death and destruction that the world can begin anew. This epic struggle provided the fitting climax to Wagner's Ring Cycle and just as Wagner was inspired by Norse myth so Byatt has taken this remarkable finale and used it as the underpinning of this highly personal and politically charged retelling.'
An Island on Fire: The Extraordinary Story of Laki, the Volcano that Turned Eighteenth-Century Europe Dark by Jeff Kanipe and Alexandra Witze
'The eruption of Laki is one of history's great untold natural disasters. The eruption, spewing out a poisionous fog, lasted for eight months, but its effects lingered across Europe for years, causing the death of people as far away as the Nile, and creating famine that may have triggered the French revolution. Island on Fire is the story not only of a volcano but also of the people whose lives it changed, such as the pastor Jon Steingrimsson, who witnessed and recorded the events in Iceland. It is the story, too, of modern volcanology, and looks at how events might work out should Laki erupt again in our time.'
The Atom Station by Halldor Laxness
(The list would not be complete without a second Laxness work, after all!)
'When the Americans make an offer to buy land in Iceland to build a NATO airbase after World War II, a storm of protest is provoked throughout the country. The airbase provides Laxness with the catalyst for his astonishing and powerful satire. Narrated by a country girl from the north, the novel follows her experiences after she takes up employment as a maid in the house of her Member of Parliament. Marvelling at the customs and behaviour of the people around her, she emerges as the one obstinate reality in a world of unreality. Her observations and experiences expose the bourgeois society of the south as rootless and shallow and in stark contrast to the age-old culture of the solid and less fanciful north. A witty and moving satire on politics and politicians, Communists and anti-Communists, phoney culture fiends, big business and all the pretensions of authority, Laxness' masterpiece of social commentary is as relevant today as when it was written in 1948.'

Tennessee Titans implode in loss to Pittsburgh Steelers, give up ground in AFC playoff race
Ben Arthur, Nashville Tennessean
PITTSBURGH – The Tennessee Titans were unable to seize control of the conference, and now they have the Indianapolis Colts on their tail in the AFC South.
The Titans imploded as the Steelers rallied late, and Pittsburgh (7-6-1) beat Tennesee 19-13 on Sunday at Heinz Field. On fourth-and-6 with less than a minute left, Titans (9-5) wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine came up short of the line to move the sticks.
Takeaways from Sunday's game:
How it slipped away
The game nearly unraveled for the Titans at the midway point of the third quarter, when Steelers star outside linebacker T.J. Watt sacked Ryan Tannehill on third down to force a punt deep in Titans territory.
On the ensuing defensive series, Titans cornerback Kristian Fulton was hit with two costly penalties: an unnecessary roughness foul defending Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth (ruled out for the game) and a defensive pass interference call against receiver Chase Claypool at the Tennessee 1. Pittsburgh scored a touchdown three plays later, on a Ben Roethlisberger sneak, to make it 13-10 Titans.
Tennessee Titans cornerback Greg Mabin (30) breaks up a pass intended for Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool (11) during the first quarter.
Then the Titans failed to take care of the ball. They had three turnovers in the final 15.57.
First it was rookie receiver Racey McMath, who had a catch and fumble across the middle with 57 seconds left in the third quarter, with the ball recovered by Steelers cornerback Joe Haden. Tennessee had a red-zone stop, but Pittsburgh placekicker Chris drilled a 28-yard field goal to tie the score at 13.
The last two turnovers were on Tannehill. He was intercepted at the 9:24 of the fourth quarter – the result of a tip at the line of scrimmage by Taco Charlton and scoop by linebacker Joe Schobert – to set up the Steelers with a field goal, which gave Pittsburgh its first lead of the game at 16-13.
On the next drive, Tannehill fumbled a snap, and it was recovered by Watt. Pittsburgh scored a field goal on that series, too, to make it 19-13 with 4:29 left.
The Titans had four turnovers in the game.
Big play on special teams … that doesn't matter
Receiver Chester Rogers got the Titans in scoring position on their second drive thanks to a 55-yard punt return. With a 10-yard penalty (illegal block in the back) by the Steelers tacked on to the end of the run, Tennessee began the series at the Pittsburgh 25. Six plays later, the Titans took the early 7-0 lead.
Where Titans stand in playoff picture
With Sunday's loss, the Titans are now just one game ahead of the Colts (8-6) in the AFC South. Tennessee, though, does have the head-to-head tiebreaker after sweeping the season series.
The Titans still can clinch the division with a win next week and a Colts loss.
The Titans have a quick turnaround, as they'll host the San Francisco 49ers at 7:20 p.m. Thursday (NFL Network, Fox 17) in Week 16.
