Moon Knight season 2 premiere date: Any 2023 expectations?
Moon Knight January 3, 2023
Is there any chance that we could see Moon Knight season 2 premiere on Disney+ during this calendar year? There's no question that this is a nice thing to think about. This is one of the most innovative projects within the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, and of course you've got a big star in Oscar Isaac at the helm.
Perhaps most importantly, you have in Moon Knight a show that can be somewhat separate from everything else Marvel has going on. This is not a show that needs to be slotted anywhere in particular on the schedule, and can work in whatever way makes the most sense at a given moment in time.
Unfortunately, none of these advantages mean that we're going to get this show back anytime soon; as a matter of fact, there is no guarantee that we will ever get more of it at all.
So where do things stand entering 2023? We're still waiting for a renewal and while all parties seem interested in bringing the show back, it really comes down to 1) having the right story and 2) Disney being willing to spend the necessary money. Even if season 1 had solid viewership, Marvel shows come with a hefty price tag; also, Moon Knight is not a character who casual comic-book fans are really all that familiar with. This is more of a show for diehards, and its ceiling is a little bit less than a Loki, for example, which has serious legs in the MCU already.
What do you expect this year
We should know by December how interested Marvel is in utilizing this property, whether it be for a season 2, a movie, or an inclusion somewhere else. If the series is renewed, then we tend to think we'll learn this year when filming is scheduled to begin — and who knows? Production come start before we roll into 2024.
However, because of the lengthy production / post-production windows for a show like this, we can't imagine anything coming on the air until at least the middle of next year. A little bit of patience goes a long way, right?

Face facts: some smokers will never quit. So how do we help them?
By Jenesa Jeram
Today is World Smokefree Day, and we're presenting two views on the future of tobacco and nicotine use. Here the NZ Initiative's Jenesa Jeram argues for a 'harm reduction' approach – one which includes tobacco products.
Today on World Smokefree Day, it is time to listen to the needs and preferences of smokers.
Yes, that will sound counterintuitive – perhaps even abhorrent – to some. Tobacco control policy, after all, has not been particularly kind to smokers.
Smokers have been made poorer through rising excise, they have been stigmatised through publicly funded 'denormalisation' campaigns, and they have literally been sent out into the cold due to designated smoke-free zones.
Yet despite concerted efforts by policymakers, some smokers continue to smoke.
Our current set of policies have been largely successful in preventing smoking uptake, particularly amongst youth. An ASH survey shows that only 2.2% of year 10 students smoking daily in 2016, compared with 15.2% in 1999. Tobacco policy has faltered, however, in encouraging current smokers to quit.
Political parties, policymakers and advocacy groups need to consider a more compassionate approach to tobacco policy. An approach focussed on tobacco harm reduction, rather than abstinence and prohibition. And luckily, there has never been a better time to do it.
Understanding why people smoke is key to helping them quit
When it comes to tobacco harm reduction, the aim is not to ignore or deny the very real harm that smoking causes. Rather, harm reduction recognises that harm elimination in the form of abstinence-only policies will not improve the welfare of those individuals who cannot or do not want to quit.
Tobacco harm reduction, like drug harm reduction, also recognises that there are unintended adverse consequences involved with prohibition.
There are many reasons why people continue to smoke, despite the harmful financial and health consequences. A report published in conjunction with the Ministry of Health looks at why young Māori women smoke, and the barriers to quitting.
The report warned against compounding the great sense of shame and stigma associated with trying and failing to quit. It also noted that "forcing smoking cessation to the fore" can be counterproductive and alienating.
Rather than enforcing abstinence on people who might be facing other struggles in their lives – and let's not forget that smoking is largely concentrated among the poorest – a more compassionate option would be to make less harmful alternatives to smoking available.
That doesn't mean abandoning public health goals, but realising that public health policy must consider the needs and aspirations of the people it purports to help.
A less harmful way of delivering nicotine
One of the greatest scientific developments in tobacco harm reduction was the observation that while people smoke for the nicotine, it is the smoke or combustion that causes the most harm. The development of the e-cigarette was borne out of consumer demand for a less harmful means of delivering nicotine to the system. Though Nicotine Replacement Therapies like gum and patches are available, they are poor substitutes for the sensory characteristics that some smokers prefer, and do not deliver the level of nicotine intake that smokers are accustomed to.

Vaping (the use of e-cigarettes) is a great example of smokers choosing to quit smoking on their own terms, using methods that work for them. The friendly vape store assistant is contributing to public health as much as any doctor offering advice on smoking cessation.
But e-cigarettes are just the beginning. Many New Zealanders will now be used to the sight of vapers, and e-cigarettes have successfully helped many Kiwis quit smoking. However, they will not work for everyone. There are now a range of nicotine delivery products available including snus and heat-not-burn to help people cut down or quit smoking.
Access to these products can not only reduce the harms from smoking, but might even make the process of quitting smoking an enjoyable one. After all, for once smokers are not being told to give something up (nicotine use), but are simply switching to a less harmful alternative.
A tobacco and nicotine hit without the smoke
Over ten years ago, the Ministry of Health concluded that snus (small pouches of reformulated tobacco that are placed under the gum) carries a considerably lower risk of harm than smoked tobacco. Yet New Zealand continues to ban the sale of the product, despite reputable international bodies confirming the role snus could play in tobacco harm reduction.
Meanwhile in Sweden, where snus is legal, the smoking rate sits at a low 7%. The interesting thing is that the Swedes are not giving up nicotine. The rates of snus use have overtaken the smoking rate as the Swedes switch in large numbers to a less harmful alternative. Similar trends have been observed in Norway, where the gap is closing between smoking rates and snus use.
In these countries, a smoke-free future does not seem like a lofty aspiration but a natural progression.
Newer products, like heat-not-burn, are being developed too. Heat-not-burn products are inhaled like e-cigarettes, but contain reformulated tobacco rather than nicotine e-liquids. Tobacco is heated to a temperature that releases nicotine and flavour, without reaching the point of combustion. The products could very well appeal to those who do not prefer e-cigarettes.
Public Health England and the UK Committee on Toxicity have found that these products are less harmful than conventional cigarettes. And while most public health experts would point out that a level of risk remains, remember that at this point, we need to be thinking about what to offer smokers who otherwise cannot or do not want to quit.

The sale of vaping and heat-not-burn products is now legal – but this is just the first step
Earlier this month, there was a watershed moment in New Zealand's tobacco harm reduction history. The Ministry of Health announced that the sale and distribution of vaping and heat-not-burn products is legal. Before this, domestic retailers were operating in a regulatory grey area.
The Ministry are currently considering how best to apply risk-proportionate regulation across these products.
But smokers might not want to breathe a sigh of relief just yet.
"Risk proportionate" could very well mean regulating these products to the point of obscurity. Tobacco-style regulations like excise and standardised packaging currently apply to all tobacco-containing products, despite the fact that these less harmful products do not pose the same level of risk as smoked tobacco, and might even improve health outcomes.
Applying such regulations sends the harmful and counterproductive message that these products are just as harmful as smoked tobacco, so people might as well smoke. Imagine looking at a pair of dirty lungs or a diseased foot every time you use a product that is reducing your exposure to harm. Or imagine being told that politicians don't want to "normalise vaping" as socially acceptable even though you only switched to vaping because of the crippling social stigma associated with smoking.
It is also disappointing that the Ministry has excluded snus from its announcement, despite the fact snus is an older product than e-cigarettes and heat-not-burn and therefore has a longer-term body of evidence behind it.
Risks matter in public health policy, but benefits matter too. Smokers should be made aware both of the risks of these alternative nicotine delivery products, as well as the potential benefits to their health and enjoyment.
In reality, these alternative nicotine delivery products should be celebrated as achieving one of the goals of New Zealand's cornerstone tobacco policy. One of the purposes of the Smoke-free Environments Act 1990 is to reduce the harmful constituents of tobacco products and smoke.
Why not just take cigarettes off the shelves?
Of course, it is hard to talk about New Zealand's smoke-free future without addressing the big butt in the room: cigarettes. There are many in public health who would like to see cigarettes banned from the shelves altogether.
I want to address this point by first acknowledging that broadly, most people in the tobacco control/tobacco harm reduction space want the same thing: to discourage youth uptake of smoking and to reduce the harms experienced from smoking.
We only disagree on how to achieve that.
But we only need to look at the adverse consequences of our drug policies to realise that prohibition does not work, and disproportionately hurts those who are already disadvantaged. In a perfect world, policymakers might be able to ban cigarette sales. But in that perfect world we must also assume there will be no black market, and no unhappy and resentful smokers who did not want to quit.
A tobacco harm reduction approach considers the world as it is, and people as they are, not the way we fantasise they could be.
The ability for smokers to make positive improvements to their health and livelihoods is surely a worthwhile public health goal, even if further improvements are always possible.
Jenesa Jeram is a research fellow at The New Zealand Initiative. Her report Smoke and Vapour: the changing world of tobacco harm reduction describes the role alternative nicotine delivery products can play in New Zealand's smoke-free future and makes recommendations on how such products should be regulated.

Bets on sterling swings have fallen to an almost three-month low even after UK lawmakers rejected Theresa May's withdrawal plan and told her to renegotiate it with the European Union, which has warned it won't budge. Given the risk of the whole deal collapsing, investors may reconsider positions that have driven volatility lower, according to SEB AB.
While the UK currency has gained about 2.5 per cent this year amid hope the two sides will eventually find a way forward, BlackRock Inc. has warned investors may be too complacent about the risk of an unfavourable outcome. May has promised to bring a reworked plan back to Parliament for a say by Feb. 13, or if not, to give members another opportunity to vote a day later.
Two-month sterling implied volatility, which covers the U.K.'s exit date of March 29, has dropped from a more than two-year high in December as concern about a no-deal Brexit fell. It traded at 10.6 per cent on Friday, down from above 15 per cent in December. The pound traded about $1.3090 as of 4:34pm. London time on Friday.
As well as Brexit uncertainty, pound investors will also have to contend with the Bank of England decision next week. While officials are forecast to keep interest rates unchanged on Thursday, some economists see the potential for a split to emerge on the Monetary Policy Committee as some members get increasingly concerned about accelerating wage growth. Any sign of a more hawkish tone among policymakers would support the currency.


How to build a wall?
The wall panels are best roughly cut with a small circular saw. If you don't have one you can also use a fretsaw or a normal handsaw.
The exact fitting of the wall panels is easiest with a cutter knife. Pay attention to stay within the pattern of the stones in the corners and to cut on a miter.
To better form the wall panels you can heat them with a blow-dryer. Don't hold it in one place for too long so the panel won't melt. After heating the panel can be bent (hold tight until it has cooled down again).
It is recommended to connect the individual wall panels first with glue, especially if you want to dye them later and work in further details.
Once you are ready the wall can be built in permanently. Please keep in mind that a wall has bricks on both sides!
This article is based on the article wall building from model building wiki.

Manami Kamijo's wedding was more bittersweet than celebratory.
Missing from the James Bay resident's guest list were two best friends who chose to remain close to their home in Japan in the aftermath of a 9.0-magnitude earthquake and killer tsunami on March 11.
Given that communications following the catastrophe were so faulty, "it made everyone more scared about the earthquake," Kamijo said.
The decimation of entire communities on the island nation covered media headlines for weeks, but the stories have since faded from the spotlight.
"I kind of feel everyone is forgetting this," Kamijo said, adding that three months later her homeland is still in crisis mode and in need of support.
Rather than feeling helpless, she and good friend and Cheryl Mason are putting on Banzai Japan, a mock sumo wrestling competition and live music fundraiser.
For a donation, spectators can take turns battling friends on the mat in padded sumo wrestling costumes. Winners get three raffle tickets while the losers get one, making them eligible to win prizes such as restaurant gift certificates and gym memberships.
"It's pretty awesome how generous people have been," Mason said of the community's support. Proceeds from the event on July 21 will go to the Canadian Red Cross's efforts in Japan.
Doors to the Victoria Event Centre, located at 1415 Broad St. open at 7 p.m. Musical guests include Victoria-based Uminari Taiko drummers, Vancouver rockers Before Helen, Kozue Matsumoto on the koto, and Victoria-based Furusato Dancers, a Japanese folk dance group.
Tickets are $15 if purchased before Tuesday (July 19) at the Best Western Plus Carlton Plaza, 642 Johnson St., or $20 at www.brownpapertickets.com and at the door.


Skin fungus can be embarrassing for anyone, where it's noticeable or not, it's itching to take your attention away from your day-to-day routine and distract you from work and social interactions. There are 80,000 different species of fungus and although the ones living on your skin can be a nuisance, a visit to the dermatologist's office can be a quick diagnosis and treatment process. Dermatophytes are the types of fungus that take over areas of your skin. They feast on a strong, fibrous protein in your skin known as keratin. It's what makes up nails, hair and virtually every inch of your skin.
Fungus thrive in warm and moist conditions, which is why if it appears in between your toes, it's so difficult to get rid of unless you use an over-the-counter treatment or see your dermatologist to eliminate completely before it worsens. Athlete's foot, for example, is called tinea pedis and it can cause peeling, redness, itching, burning and even blisters and sores. It's important to clean your bathtub thoroughly when you notice the first signs of cracking, dead skin, excessive peeling or red itchiness, in order to avoid spreading it to other members in your household and also to help decrease the chances of worsening your condition.
Jock itch is another form of fungus that is very easily spread among athletes, primarily wrestlers. The intensive contact-to-contact sport increases the chances of spreading the fungus from not only teammates and opponents, but also from the mats they practice on. It is characterized by the itching and chafing of red rash and cracking skin on the groin and thigh area. It is treated with anti-fungal cream, power or spray with the daily washing and drying of the area with a clean towel and frequent change of underwear.
Ringworm is a common and well-known fungus called tinea corporis and it appears as circular, red, flat sores that are often scaly and uncomfortable. It can be transmitted between people and animals, which heightens the importance of early detection and treatment, especially if you have a pet. Fortunately, ringworm responds well to over-the-counter creams and treatment that can be recommended by your dermatologist. Although fungus infections are rarely ever life-threatening, they should be treated as a hygienic importance and taken care of immediately following the discovery of signs.

FILE - President Donald Trump speaks in the Rose Garden of the White House, Jan 25, 2019.
U.S. President Donald Trump took to Twitter Wednesday, appearing to reignite his long-standing feud with the country's intelligence agencies by belittling their assessments on Islamic State, North Korea and Iran.
FILE - Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats testifies before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, Jan. 29, 2019.
"ISIS is intent on resurging and still commands thousands of fighters in Iraq and Syria," Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats told lawmakers Tuesday, while acknowledging the terror group's self-declared caliphate had been reduced to a few small villages in Syria, which would likely be liberated in a matter of weeks.
On North Korea, Coats and CIA Director Gina Haspel reiterated long-standing concerns that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, despite being willing to talk with the United States, is not truly ready to give up its nuclear ambitions.
"Its leaders ultimately view nuclear weapons as critical to regime survival," Coats said of Pyongyang.
"The regime is committed to developing a long-range nuclear-armed missile that would pose a direct threat to the United States," Haspel added.
As for Iran, the differences between the intelligence agencies and the president appeared to be less glaring.
The intelligence officials told lawmakers that the 2015 nuclear deal between world powers and Tehran is working, at least for now, even though Trump withdrew from the deal while re-imposing sanctions.
But they agreed with Trump regarding the larger threat.
"These actions underscore our concerns for a long-term trajectory of Iranian influence in the region and the risk of conflict escalation," he added, noting Iranian-backed militants would continue to threaten U.S. forces in Iraq and elsewhere.
The CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency declined comment when asked about the president's tweets Wednesday.
But the public critiques drew a quick response from some U.S. lawmakers and former intelligence officials.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer released a letter he wrote to Coats saying he "cannot allow the President's ill-advised and unwarranted comments" to stand, and that Coats, Haspel and FBI Director Christopher Wray should insist on meeting with Trump to "educate him about the facts and raw intelligence" behind the threat assessment.
Yet other former officials described the commotion over the president's tweets as overblown.
"This is not that big a thing," said Steve Bucci, a visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation who previously served as an assistant to former U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
"Frankly, I see both sides kind of doing what they get paid to do," he told VOA. "The intel community is supposed to be the factual analyzers and the president picks the policies he wants to follow.
"They clearly have failed to convince him that their position is correct. And now everybody is going nuts because he's not treating what the intelligence community says as holy writ," Bucci said.
Bucci also said it would be a mistake to view Trump's tweets as an indictment of his intel chiefs as opposed to messages meant for Iran and North Korea.
"He's trying to move both countries in directions that are beneficial to U.S. interests," he said. "He's not shutting down the intel community."
But Pfeiffer cautioned that even if Trump's responses are merely about politics, it could still take a toll.

He was very quick to post signs around advertising and leading people this way. We also had some unforeseen problems concerning the property lines that could have really interfered with my ability to sell this property. It was a very stressful situation and John's faith and ability to take charge of the situation to bring it to resolve was very helpful in relieving me of the stress and helping me to stay calm. He is a man of integrity and I highly recommend him to anybody buying or selling a home. He will work hard for you.

Offshoring creates good jobs in poor countries
2 min read . Updated: 13 Jul 2010, 10:48 AM IST Reuters
Geneva: Offshoring and outsourcing in services from call centres to accountancy and medicine have created good jobs in terms of pay and working hours in developing countries, according to a study published on Monday.
But the International Labour Organization (ILO) study found that improved work practices in the outsourcing industry could reduce excessive rates of staff turnover.
The study gives the lie to claims that outsourcing of such work has created "cyber-coolies" or "electronic sweatshops", said Jon Messenger, an ILO researcher and main editor of the study.
"The jobs being created in offshore business services in developing countries are reasonably good quality jobs by local standards in terms of wages and working conditions," he said.
The book looks at outsourcing in the two biggest markets, India and the Philippines, and two growing Latin American centres, Brazil and Argentina.
A study by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) last year found the global market for information technology-enabled services was about $54 billion in 2008. The industry includes companies such as India's Infosys Technologies and Wipro.
100% turnover
Wages are below those for similar jobs in rich countries — one of the main motives for companies to outsource operations — but average pay in the sector in India is nearly double that in other areas of the formal economy, the ILO study found.
In the Philippines they were typically 53% higher.
The study found that average weekly hours were 46-47 hours in India and 45 in the Philippines, whereas one fifth of workers in developing countries work more than 50 hours a week.
But negative factors such as frequent night work to handle customers' different time zones, and demanding targets enforced by electronic monitoring resulting in a low level of worker autonomy, led to extremely high levels of staff turnover.
Sometimes the turnover rate in the typically young and well-educated workforce could exceed 100% a year, and rates of 30-40% are not unusual.
"A few key changes in policies and practices could actually make these good jobs even better while simultaneously helping to reduce staff turnover which would benefit businesses," Messenger told a briefing.
These could include steps to improve health and safety for night workers, such as regular check-ups, and more flexibility for workers to organise their time and to meet targets.
Naj Ghosheh, an ILO researcher and the other editor of the book, said governments would want the industries to develop and innovate to move up the value chain rather than simply replicating imported processes. They would also want to retain skilled workers at home rather than encouraging them to emigrate.
The industry is highly influenced by language skills, with India and the Philippines serving English-speaking countries, Argentina serving Spain and Mexico building up operations to serve Spanish-speakers in the United States.
Africa is relatively underdeveloped although Nigeria's computer-literate population gives it potential.

Conservator May Be Able To Act As Successor Trustee
AUGUST 16, 2010 VOLUME 17 NUMBER 26
Let's say you have created a revocable living trust, and you have named yourself as trustee. You also name your two children as successor trustees, to act together upon your death or incapacity. Two years later you become incapacitated; because of a dispute between your two children about who should handle assets outside the trust, the probate court names a local bank as your conservator. Now who handles your trust — the bank, or your children?
Before we answer that question, let us complicate it. You are also the beneficiary of a trust set up by your late husband — and you are trustee of that trust, as well. About half of the assets the two of you owned are included in each of the two trusts. Your husband's trust names you as trustee (now that he is deceased) and names the two children as successor trustees if anything should happen to you. Does your conservator have any authority over that trust?
Those were precisely the questions faced by a probate judge in South Dakota when Evelyn Didier became incapacitated. The bank appointed as her conservator asked the court to clarify that it had control over both trusts as well as Ms. Didier's non-trust assets. The judge agreed, and Ms. Didier's daughter Barbara Didier-Stager appealed.
Court appointment of a conservator does not amount to appointment of a successor trustee, argued Ms. Didier's daughter. In fact, appointment of a conservator proves the incapacity that triggers a change in trustees — resulting in the son and daughter taking over as successor trustee of their mother's trust. As to their father's trust, the successor trustee provisions are triggered by the conservatorship in the same way — though our simplified version of the facts described above fails to clarify that the successor trustees of that trust were actually Ms. Didier-Stager and another local bank — different from the bank acting as Ms. Didier's conservator.
South Dakota, like Arizona, has adopted the Uniform Probate Code — though South Dakota's version has been updated more recently and is more current. The Code includes provisions about guardianship and conservatorship (though now those sections have been set aside as a separate uniform law, the Uniform Guardianship and Protective Proceedings Act). Those uniform laws permit the judge in a conservatorship proceeding to enter orders related to the protected person's estate plan.
So, reasoned the South Dakota court, the probate court could permit Ms. Didier's conservator to do anything that Ms. Didier herself could have done before becoming incapacitated. Her own trust was revocable and amendable — if she had wanted to do so, she could have changed the successor trustee at any time. She could have named the bank that was ultimately appointed as her conservator. Consequently, the court could allow her conservator to assume the powers of successor trustee over that trust.
The late Mr. Didiers trust was a different matter, however. Ms. Didier herself did not have the power to change the trustee, and so her conservator could not exercise that power on her behalf. That trust would have to be dealt with separately, and the Supreme Court ordered the case remanded to the probate judge to determine what to do about Mr. Didier's trust. Conservatorship of Didier, June 30, 2010.
Does this mean that Mr. Didier's successor trustees automatically take over, instead of Mrs. Didier's conservator? Probably not. Other provisions of the Probate Code give the probate judge authority over trust administration, and if it appears that there is some reason not to allow the named successors to become trustee there will presumably be an order to that effect. But it does change the discussion from a choice between blindly following the document or giving Mrs. Didier's conservator power to do anything she could do. Instead, the probate court will have to determine which approach is most consistent with the trust, with proper administration, and with the best interests of the trust's beneficiaries.
The Uniform law actually goes quite a bit further today than the 1974 version originally adopted in Arizona (though Arizona has updated portions of the law several times). Reviewing the statute in the context of the Didier case highlights some of the changes. Among the powers given to conservators by the "new" Code (as adopted in South Dakota, for instance) is the power to "make, amend, or revoke the protected person's will." (See Section 411(a)(7) of the Uniform Guardianship and Protective Proceedings Act.) Court approval is required, but the very notion of a conservator changing the protected person's estate plan might strike some as dangerous.

God has given us teachers to teach His truth to us, but that doesn't mean we just put away our Bible and stop thinking for ourselves. That's how cults and theological detours get started. See, your primary source of truth must always be the Word of God, which you personally, one-on-one with God, examine every day to see what is true; trusting His Holy Spirit to lead you into truth.

Nilanjana S Roy: The fiction round-up

More Columns by Nilanjana S Roy
The best non-fiction of 2014 Mr Mistry's fine balance The History House 'It was Delhi, you know' Dying well
Reading in translation is like driving an unfamiliar make of car: most readers adapt once they decide to focus on the destination rather than the bumpy bits.
This is particularly true of the previous year's best fiction; Indians are used to crossing the street into different languages, but the rest of the world's readers might be reading more in translation than they realise.
The best of the year's fiction in translation: Haruki Murakami's Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage followed the unlikely story of a designer of train stations who returns to the inexplicable breach between him and his childhood friends. Mr Murakami helpfully included Liszt's Le mal du pays as the background score. The third volume of Karl Knausgaard's My Struggle - biography fluidly characterised as novel-writing by his publishers - Boyhood Island came out to the usual chorus of stunned acclaim. (Nerdy, lit-crit question: has Mr Knausgaard killed the confessional memoir dead by blending biography with the seedy allure of wait-for-the-next-episode reality television serials?)
I preferred Elena Ferrante, perhaps the best-known pseudonymous author of our times, and Patrick Modiano, whose writings were introduced to many readers, including me, for the first time after he won the Nobel Prize in Literature. Ms Ferrante's unforgettable Neapolitan novels are three books covering the span of a friendship between Lena and the narrator, Elena Greco, who grow up in a Naples neighbourhood: "I feel no nostalgia for my childhood: it was full of violence." Ms Ferrante's novels have the intimacy and the unmistakeable odour of truth that can be found in Mr Knausgaard's books, but she is, unlike Mr Knausgaard, never self-indulgent, and her prose is taut, not rambling.
In October 2014, Mr Modiano's Suspended Sentences was released for the first time in translation; it is one of three novellas based again on his own childhood, marked by the disappearance of his brother, and by the atmosphere of a city caught between resisting and collaborating with its occupiers. "For me, the Paris of the occupation was always a kind of primordial darkness," he said in his Nobel lecture. "That Paris never stopped haunting me, and my books are sometimes bathed in its veiled light."
Mo Yan is a towering but often criticised figure in China - the dissident artist Ai Weiwei calls him "a state writer", and he is not known for challenging the present regime. But Frog is riveting, both in the telling of the tale and the imagining of it: China's one-child policy rests in some respect on the labours of abortionists, like the doctor in Frog whose life was based on Mo Yan's gynaecologist aunt. His voice - powerful, deeply inlaid with old myths and yet frustratingly muffled and oblique - is peculiarly illustrative of what happens to novelists who live at least partly self-censored lives in imperfectly free countries.
K R Meena's The Hangwoman, a translation from Malayalam by J Devika, featured an unusual protagonist - 22-year-old Chetana, daughter of the hangman Phanibhushan, who might be the next handler of the gallows. Shamsher Faruqi's The Sun That Rose From The Earth (translated from the Urdu by the author) was one of the year's most interesting books, a fictionalised set of stories with Mirza Ghalib, Ruswa, Mushafi, Budh Singh Qalandar and other poets and writers as the stars, a beautifully re-imagined slice of our collective literary history.
2014 also saw the revival of Angaarey, a collection of short stories and a play in Urdu by various writers that had been banned, and banished: only five copies of the book survived the firestorm that surrounded its publication in 1932. Snehal Shinghavi's translation of the stories (Angaarey, Penguin India), by Rashid Jahan, Sajjad Zaheer, Ahmed Ali and Mahmudazzafar, has a slight edge over the version for Rupa. The year closed on a wonderful note, with the release of the first few books from the Murty Classical Library, from the Therigatha to Bulle Shah's poetry, yet another reminder of the broad cloth of India's heritage.
Original fiction written in English: In a year when Marilynne Robinson, David Mitchell, Ali Smith, Anthony Doerr, Ian McEwan and many other writers published works of considerable brilliance, a few novels and short story collections stood out.
Lily King's Euphoria should be read alongside Elizabeth Gilbert's The Signature of All Things - but where Ms Gilbert imagines a woman scientist as a parallel contributor in Darwin's time, Ms King bases her novel on the real life of anthropologist Margaret Mead. "You have to pay attention to everything else when you don't know the words," Nell (Margaret) says in Euphoria.
Akhil Sharma's Family Life and Neel Mukherjee's The Lives of Others might both be read as excellent expositions of what goes into "normal" families - love, betrayal, despair, possession, claiming, repudiation.
Kamila Shamsie's A God In Every Stone and Phil Klay's Redeployment are both stunningly good, if very different, perspectives on the aftermath of wars - Ms Shamsie's novel goes from World War Two's killing fields and hospitals to Peshawar's bazaars and archaeological sites; Mr Klay (who served in Iraq) shifts the terrain of his short stories from Iraq to Afghanistan, with love and post-traumatic stress disorder. The present has as little comfort to offer: Denis Johnson, author of Tree of Smoke, updated Graham Greene's Africa in Laughing Monsters - the United States intelligence machine carries out its own black-ops while two adventurers teeter through West Africa, trying to convert civil unrest into small fortunes.
There is only the future left, and William Gibson has that nicely covered in The Peripheral, which he describes as "a sort of two-headed dystopia in which it's impossible to decide who's got the worst deal". Always so nice to have a choice.

Five Black Teens Went Missing in 1978 and Where Never Seen Again — Here's What Happened!
In 1978, on a summer day, five teenagers from Newark, New Jersey suddenly vanished. Their names were Randy Johnson, Michael McDowell, Melvin Pittman, Ernest Taylor and Alvin Turner. That day, they had played basketball and had gone home to change their clothes before meeting up again. But that was the last day the boys were ever seen again!
For many years, the police were clueless as to what happened. There was never any evidence or remains recovered, and the case remained a cold case for decades. The missing boys were named "The Clinton Avenue Five".
However, 30 years later in 2008, while in police custody on an unrelated charge, a man named Philander Hampton confessed that he and his cousin, Lee Anthony Evans, lured the teens to his residence by promising them jobs.
The boys, while at his home, supposedly stole some marijuana, and Evans and Hampton decided to kill them. They were locked into a bedroom closet at gunpoint, and then Evans reportedly set the house on fire with the boys inside.
After investigators confirmed the story, both Evans and Hampton were arrested and charged with felony murder and arson.
But justice was never fully served
Hampton later plead guilty to the murders during his August 2011 trial, and was sentenced to ten years in prison and was ordered to pay $15,000 in relocation expenses upon his release. He was released early from prison in February 2017.
Evans represented himself at his November 2011 trial and was acquitted. He later filed a lawsuit against the county's Prosecutor's Office and the city's police department claiming that he was a victim of malicious prosecution.
Obviously, no real justice was ever served, and until today, the remains of the missing boys have never been found.

What kind of wine did Rashi make?
Joshua E. London
Rashi, or Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki, has been revered since his own 11th century as a prodigious and prolific commentator of the Bible and Talmud. He is also popularly thought to have earned his living as a vintner in his native France.
What kind of wine did he make?
Today, under the Rashi label, one can find a variety of sweet and Kiddush-style wines from Italy, New York and California. These don't seem to have much of anything to do with Rashi as a historical figure.
A great deal about Rashi's life remains unknown, although popular legends abound. Rashi lived in Troyes, the heart of what is now Champagne, in northern France. He was born there in 1040 and is believed to have died there in about 1105.
Today, virtually nothing remains of the city's history from the time of Rashi, since a large part of it was destroyed by fire in 1524. Even before then, the medieval Jewish community of Troyes was abruptly dissolved in September 1394 when Charles VI suddenly issued his decree expelling the Jews from France.
The name Rashi was chosen as a wine label more for the familiarity of the name to a Jewish audience, than for any specific associations between the historic figure and the particular wines bottled under the eponymous label.
But as seductive as the legend of Rashi the vintner is, Haym Soloveitchik, a professor at Yeshiva University and the leading contemporary historian of Halachah, or Jewish law, argues against it.
In his 1978 essay "Can Halakhic Texts Talk History?" Soloveitchik argues that: "Jewish communities were generally tiny, averaging from a handful to a score of families and tended (in the Champagne region) to make their own wine… [which] was usually produced anew every fall… It is difficult to see how this could have been accomplished without the concerted effort of the entire community."
Thus, he argues in a footnote, Rashi's clear familiarity with wine production — as evidenced by his Jewish legal writings and Talmudic commentary — owes more to his having been a posek (a halachic decisor) for his small community, than to the prospect that he actually earned his living through wine.
As Soloveitchik put it, "the presumption is against anyone being a winegrower in Troyes" because the "deeply fissured soil to this day is inhospitable to viticulture."
He allows that Rashi's wording at times implies that there were some privately held vineyards, but almost certainly nothing productive enough for a family to earn a living off its wine.
"Despite all this," Soloveitchik concludes, "Rashi may have been a vintner; but by the same token he may have been an egg salesman."
Here is an offering from Rashi's Champagne region:
Champagne Laurent-Perrier, Brut, Non-vintage, Kosher Edition ($80): This first-rate, light-to-medium-bodied bubbly is refined and balanced, yet fun and easy, with fine, concentrated, endless bubbles and notes of citrus peel, minerals and nuts, all with a lovely dollop of fresh berries in the lengthy finish. This is superb champagne. No further commentary is required. L'chaim!

Since I was little I liked to look at the world with my own eyes and make the view of trips even more beautiful. I'm attracted by the colors, compositions, romanticism behind a rose. I think the romance exists in your gaze, in the streets, in the light that bathes the streets when evening hits a sunny day in October, or when sunbeam penetrates through the window and stains the floor.
I like poetry, writers who inspire me like Idea Vilarino, Isabel García Mellado, Al-Khansa, or Rosalia de Castro, among many. I like to feel, but I am not referring to being in love, instead I speak of sadness, loneliness, a love that hurts. All this makes me feel alive. Although I am not a pessimistic person, I like to live with these emotions.
I like to convey in my photos, the romance of an impossible love. I think beauty is in the eye, in the eyes of everyone,and how they look at the world. It's nice to know that you can to see things from a different point of view, and create your own world in which you can feel you belong.

I don't know who I am when I'm not burning."

On the Nature of Afflictions
By Lewis Mehl-Madrona (Page 1 of 3 pages) No comments
(35 fans)
"The affliction is the doorway; it is not the thing itself. The afflicted one is being asked to make an offering for the community." Thus, began Deena Metzger this past Saturday in a workshop which I co-facilitated with her in Topanga Canyon, California. Deena is a writer, a novelist and essayist, perhaps best known for her personal and inspirational writing about her own breast cancer experience. We sat together with a room full of people on top of a mountain next to the largest "inside city limits" park in the world, the Topanga Canyon Preserve which lies entirely within the city of Los Angeles. Coyotes intermittently howled their agreements and disagreements with our discourse from close quarters inside the canyon. Large ground squirrels (as large as our Vermont woodchucks) scampered from boulder to boulder outside the window. The vast expanse of Los Angeles lay nearby but out of sight from this panoramic vista.
Within contemporary medicine and psychology, we have invented "things" to have. We have bipolar. We have attention deficit. We have PTSD. People want to know what they have. Rarely do the come to the consultation room acknowledging that they have been invited to enter a doorway to explore the nature of the universe. Yesterday I sat in my office with a woman who "had" leukemia. She had come to the understanding that she had never permitted herself the indulgence of exploring her own life until she was diagnosed with leukemia. Then she had something sufficiently serious as to justify her adventures into inner space. As her leukemia improved (co-incident with her inner journey), she wondered if she would reach a time when the severity of her condition no longer justified the indulgence of exploring the world of her mind and relationships to others. "So," I said, "in order for us to continue our work, will your leukemia have to relapse?" That comment shocked an awareness in her that she could continue for the sheer joy of exploring without the excuse of having a potentially life-threatening illness. Leukemia had invited her to open a door, but she could remain in the dimensions of the mind long after the invitation had expired.
In 1976, Deena wrote that "cancer is silence". She was describing women who went "crazy", had nervous breakdowns, got heavily drugged, and then got cancer. She was determined to speak whatever had been silenced in her. Of course, I don't think cancer is always silence, but I do think cancer, as well as other illnesses, emerge interactively as meaning-making opportunities for those who have them. The meaning of the illness can sometimes be transformed into the meaning of the healing. Deena was describing an experiential phenomenon of her time -- the silencing of wild and crazy women through drugs and the emergence of that energy in other ways. She reminded me of the insanity of the changes in our small brook that happened during Hurricane Irene. So much water fell from the sky that nothing could contain it. Dams burst. The rise in water level was measured in meters. We can appreciate that still when we see refrigerators wrapped around the top of trees or car hoods nestled in branches far too high to reach. Deena believed that telling her story would be healing. For her, and for a generation of women, it was.
The radical departure of this brand of narrative medicine from the biomedical model lies in the awareness of the embeddedness of illness in the entire context of a life story, even if the affliction is a mysterious visitor, even if it remains silent and cannot be made to speak. However shrouded in mystery it remains, it is a being with ontological validity.
Within the medical model, illness is isolated, fragmented, and silenced. Its existence is denied. Its presence as a being is avoided.
I believe illness has a story to tell. Visitor, friend, enemy, obstacle, antagonist, helper, or villain -- whatever it may be (and it can be all simultaneously), our affliction stands before us ready for discourse, no longer silent.
The transition from positivist to narrative medicine gives illness back its voice and is fundamentally reanimating to the world. In medieval times, illness spoke. Ingmar Bergman's famous movie, The Seventh Seal, reveals the voice of the Black Plague in the being of Death itself who plays chess with the knight, returning from the crusades, expecting to lose, but with the intent of saving the lives of others with whom he is traveling.
However, assuming that illness necessarily has a message is also positivist. The message may be the one that interactively arises through the dialogue with affliction. We co-create the message with the illness. What emerges may not have been present at the moment of affliction.

Ryan Seacrest is a very busy man. Not only does he produce Keeping Up with the Kardashians and American Idol, but he's also a co-host on Live with Kelly and Ryan. He hosts his own nationally-syndicated entertainment radio show, called On Air with Ryan Seacrest, and has his own line of clothing and skincare products. To maintain his busy schedule he keeps himself fit and follows a standard routine which he tries to maintain even while abroad.
Another major endeavor by Seacrest (@RyanSeacrest) is the Ryan Seacrest Foundation, a non-profit providing broadcasting studios, called Secreast Studios, inside of children's hospitals for the children to use. These studios help to foster a positive environment for the kids to have fun and learn while they deal with their illness. The foundation also encourages local journalism students to use the studios in order to help them gain practical broadcasting experience. With currently 10 studios throughout the US, Seacrest hopes to eventually have studios throughout the world.
Scottish Journalist, broadcaster, and author Alastair Borthwick is remembered for his two great works of literature, "Always a Little Further" and "Battalion: a British infantry unit's actions from El Alamein to the Elbe, 1942-1945". Alastair Borthwick was born on February 17. 1913 in Rutherglen, however, he was raised in Troon and Glasgow. At 16 he would leave his studies to work for the Glasgow Herald as a copywriter for correspondents calling into the office. His opening into his true career was during his participation in the "Open Air" page. It allowed Alastair Borthwick to be involved in the incredible lands that Glasgow had to offer, that in turn would introduce him to write articles about the working class of the community. He moved briefly to London after a job offer, however, the big city lifestyle was not meant for him and he would move back to Glasgow a year later to work as a BBC radio correspondent.
In 1939 we would see the work of Alastair Borthwick really take off with the publication of "Always a Little Further". This was a combination of articles written by Alastair during his time at the Glasgow Herald, particularly those written from his outdoor adventures. Although the publisher, Fabers was unsure of the publication, the project was pushed forward anyway and today holds as one of the best-written books on the subject of the outdoors.
During the Second world war, Alastair Borthwick (@AlastairBorthw1) was assigned to the 5th Battalion as an intelligence officer and would see actions on most of the Wars battlefields. After the war, Alastair was asked to write a history book on the battalion. The book would be published in 1946 as "Sans Peur, The History of the 5th (Caithness and Sutherland) Battalion, the Seaforth Highlanders". The book received praise from many in the historical community. After the war, Alastair would go work for the BBC in 1940, follow by a successful television career in the 1960's where he would film over 150 programs. Alastair Borthwick would retire with his wife in the 1970's in Ayrshire. Alastair would live out his remaining years in a hill farm until his death in 2003.

There is a champion spirit in the heart of Whitney Wolfe hurt. She is the CEO of Bumble and a woman that has taken on a serious role in the #me-too movement. Oddly, her role in this would start before this even became a hashtag. She would find herself building a legacy early on as a powerful business woman in technology, but she was unaware at the time of her lawsuit against Tinder that there would be such a powerful standing up of women that were trying to combat abusive situations dealing with sexual harassment.
This is something that Whitney Wolfe went through early, and she had to create some boundaries as she made a transition to the technology world of entrepreneurship at Bumble. She worried about being blacklisted. She also worried about whether there would be an aftermath of alienation when she declined an offer from Match to buy Bumble. As the only woman in a male-dominated business it is easy for her to see how it could have affected her business strategy in a negative way. For latest update connect with Whitney Wolfe on Twitter.
Ot appears that strategy that Whitney Wolfe utilize has worked well. She knew that she could not compete in the same way that her adversaries were competing so she decided to tweak her app and allow women to make the first move. She may be the only one in this dating app environment as a female, but she made herself stand out in another way by creating Bumble to be different from what was already out there. This has gained the mass appeal type of following that no one would have conceived once Whitney Wolfe left Tinder.
The reality that most people have to consider is that Whitney Wolfe was going to compete directly with a company that she departed from. Her fears about being blacklisted were real, but she has managed to gain a stronghold on social media by going against the grain. She did what some people thought she could not do. She also managed to do something that other dating app companies failed to do: Wolfe created a safer environment for women.
