Burgess Court encloses a sub-rectangular area which narrows from 84m in the west to only 47m in the east. Its length varies from 86m along the south wall to 97m alongside the monastic enclosure, and it covers an area of just over 0.7 hectares (1.8 acres). The enclosing perimeter or curtain wall has a length of 250m.
The curtain is reinforced by four towers and by a gatehouse mid-way along the east wall (Fig 8). Towers and gates have all been given names for easier reference. Some are names applied in the past though usually with 'castle' as a suffix rather than tower (e.g. Prior's Castle, Water Castle). The other names reflect the positions of the towers around the priory complex.
Burgess Court is entered through a relatively simple Outer Gatehouse which projects slightly from the centre of the east wall (Figure 8). A broad round-headed archway steps back into a 2m deep gate passage with a segmentally arched vault (segmental arch: consisting of a segment only of a circle). Just inside the outer arch are the original stone pivot holes by which the priory gates were hinged. Those at head height are called hanging eyes.
The gate passage vault forms the floor for a broad fighting platform at gatehouse roof-level. The centre of the platform projects out to the east as a machicoulis over the gate-arch - a short length of parapet (protective wall) carried out from the external face of the gatehouse on stone brackets or corbels. Defenders were able to drop missiles through the spaces between the corbels onto assailants below without exposing themselves to arrow-shot.
The machicoulis is not crenellated (it has no battlements) but this may not have been its original form since the upper metre or so is modern. On its three outer faces it has a continuous head-height parapet pierced by five arrow slits (or arrow loops). These gave defending archers some flexibility of aim while protecting them from those outside the walls. The southern parapet ends flush with the inside of the adjoining curtain wall to leave a narrow entrance. The inner face of the gatehouse has a low parapet built onto the platform paving stones which project as a thin course of flagstones from the face of the inside wall. A row of square holes above the flagstone course drains the platform. The platform must have been reached either by a timber staircase (as in Figure 4) or by ladder.
Burgess Court's curtain wall has a thickness which usually varies between 0.75m and 1m, and a height ranging from 4.5m to 6m (the thinner stretch north of West Tower is a more recent replacement). It is pierced at 5m to 8m intervals by short arrow slits which open into splayed embrasures (recesses) on the inside. Land-slip on the hill above the Court has brought the ground-surf ace up to or above the sills of the arrow slits in the south wall. Originally they would have been about 1m up the wall like the others. A shallow buttress supports the inner face of the south wall near Southeast Tower. The barest trace of a defensive ditch around Burgess Court can still be identified along the outer side of the west curtain as a shallow depression.
The millstream along the northern edge of Burgess Court enters and exits through broad arches in the west and east curtain walls respectively (Figure 8), the western arch now partially blocked.
During recent restoration, the top of the curtain wall was finished as an unbroken bevelled edge. (The top of the ruined wall as it stood before the modern work is marked by a thin, irregular felt seam). Though the modern appearance of the wall is shown in Figure 4, the curtain was probably originally crenellated like the wall west of the Inner Gatehouse - if only as a deterrent to hostile eyes.
The arch for the millstream in the east wall is overlooked by a machicoulis (2) with a continuous head-height parapet pierced by a single arrow slit in the south wall. The machicoulis is reached from inside the Precinct via a short wall-walk (or alure) along the top of the wall, protected by a parapet. Today there are only a few short lengths of wall-walk on the priory walls and in Burgess Court there is only this one.
Several architectural details suggest that there may never have been more. The short wall-walk in Burgess Court is marked on the external face of the curtain by a thin course of flagstones reflecting the outer edge of the wall-walk paving. This feature is not preserved anywhere else along the outer face of the curtain. It is also notable that all the existing wall-walks are associated with openings in the walls, either gateways or millstream arches. These were defensive weak-points which would have been the focus of any attack.
In addition, every length of curtain carrying a wall-walk has a greater than usual thickness, generally between 1.25m and 1.5m. This greater width provided a broad fighting platform for the defenders, whereas the normal walls would have been narrow and restricted.
Overall the walls seem intended more as a deterrent against a raiding party anxious only for relatively easy plunder than for defence against a sustained attack. Active defence of Burgess Court appears to have been concentrated at specific points of weakness and if these were overrun, there would probably have been a general retreat to the towers and the Precinct - quickly followed by negotiations!

TWO RIVERS - One in 25 U.S. patients contracts an infection while in the hospital, according to the federal government. Holy Family Memorial Medical Center has found a new-age way to keep operating rooms clean and healthy.
Holy Family is the first hospital in Wisconsin to use Indigo-Clean, a continuous environmental disinfecting operating room light fixture, to help reduce the rise of surgical site infections.

The hospital group installed the special operating room lights last fall in an effort reduce already low surgical site infection rates, and saw an average daily bacteria count drop of 82 percent in the room where the system was installed.

"The operating rooms are in constant use, so knowing there is no room downtime and disinfection starts immediately with the flip of a switch, we believe Indigo-Clean is the safest and most efficient solution for us to help reduce the risk of surgical site infections," said Operating Room Director Lisa Sherman.
Holy Family hopes to expand the use of Indigo-Clean to other areas of the hospital, she said.
So, how does it work?
Indigo-Clean fixtures use light-emitting diodes to generate visible white light that also contains a narrow spectrum of indigo-colored light.
This indigo color emits a certain wavelength to automatically, safely and continuously disinfect the air, as well as hard and soft surfaces. The light is absorbed by molecules within bacteria, producing a chemical reaction that kills the bacteria from the inside as if common household bleach has been released within the bacterial cells.
When the OR is not being used, the lights can be switched to an Indigo-only mode, providing a higher degree of safe disinfection, Holy Family says.
Disinfection is important.
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that one in 25 U.S. hospital patients contracts an infection while at the hospital on any given day, and about 75,000 hospital patients with hospital-acquired infections died in 2011, and about a fourth developed infections from surgeries.
Indigo-Clean is manufactured in Wisconsin by Kenall Manufacturing, based in Kenosha.

Julie is a badass feminist personal trainer, health coach, and surfer who is changing the game in the fitness world to help women become more liberated, personally and socially. In this episode, I ask Julie what it means to be a feminist fitness trainer and how she approaches fitness with herself and with her clients from a feminist perspective. She points out how the fitness industry focuses on body parts with a one-size-fits-all approach conditioning all of us from a young age that we "should" live up to this ideal body type of White, cisgendered, non-disabled, skinny with long limbs, small bones and flat abs. Because of this "ideal" that society has programmed in us, we assume that this is what healthy looks like and/or only looks like, and because most of us can't live up to it (because we're not meant to-it's not who we are), we feel like failures and like we're not good enough.
As a feminist fitness trainer, Julie wants to guide and help women to train their body however the hell they want! In her approach, she encourages women to do what they ENJOY, and not what they think they are "supposed" to do in order to be fit and healthy.
We, also, explore how the fitness industry makes money off of our insecurities. As Julie stresses, "They have us focus on how we look instead of how we feel, which is a huge problem." It's a confusing cycle because it has us trying to achieve something that is often not realistic or healthy for our bodies, so we spend more money on more products and things that we think will help us achieve society's ideal getting us further and further away from ourselves and our true strengths.
In addition, we dive deeper into the relationship between gender and fitness like a woman trying to preserve her "femininity" in fear that gaining more muscles might make her look too "masculine". And how a lot of men are uncomfortable around more muscular women because it feels like a threat to their masculinity, to who they are. It's like a gender cycle that just keeps going around around that isn't contributing to one's liberation and feeling good and confident in their bodies.
This layered and complex discussion is such an important one that we need to bring more awareness to. Press play above or subscribe iniTunes (see above) to listen to the full conversation!

Just Saying by Sophie Ranald Book Review
by Sophie Ranald
Published by Bookouture
I almost gave up on love.
My ex, who called his private parts 'Nigel', was enough to put me off men forever. But then I met Joe.
Alice thought she'd found Mr Right. Her blue-eyed boyfriend Joe gives her butterflies, makes her bacon sandwiches when she's hungover, and doesn't have a nickname for any of his body parts.
She should have known it was too good to be true. Because one day, Alice and Joe bump into Zoe. According to him, Zoe's 'just an old friend'. But Alice saw the way they froze, and heard the strange note in Joe's voice when he said her name.
Then, out of the blue, Zoe needs a place to live. And Joe has the bright idea of inviting her, and her fluffy ginger cat Frazzle, to stay with them.
Alice tries her hardest not to feel threatened. But the thing is, Zoe doesn't survive off microwave meals, or go days without washing her glossy copper-coloured hair, or accidentally get mascara in her contact lenses.
Joe's ex might be pretty much perfect, but there's no way that Alice will let Zoe steal him. She's on a mission to prove that three (four, if you count the cat) is definitely a crowd…
I would like to thank #bookouture for sending me an #ARC of Sophie Ranald's book, #JustSaying, via #NetGalley, in exchange for a fair and honest review.
Just Saying by Sophie Ranald is a stand-alone book, about a woman named Alice, who, just as life was shaping up the way she thought it ought to, with her wonderful boyfriend of two years, their own flat, and job offers at a pretegious law firm, has it ripped away after finding out her boss was terminated, and the position she was offered, no longer there. Instead of looking for work in her field, she ends up wandering into a local pub, and after helping out there, ends up working there and falling in love with the run down place. To make ends meet, her perfect boyfriend suggests moving in his friend ... who happens to be his ex who he was in love with ... into their second room, which, as you can imagine, leads to a slew of new problems.
This is the hard part of receiving advanced reading copies. The books that leave you ... stumped. I don't want to be too rough, but I need to be honest. Just Saying is ... a bit of a mess. For a few reasons. But I want to say what I liked about it first.
I liked that the raw emotions felt from the characters in this book, given the situation, were realistic. Insecurity. Jealousy. These are normal, human emotions, that ha

'Fabric Of America: Artists In Protest' Addresses Troubled Times
By Jonel Juste, Artburst Miami
This story also features in CultureOwl and Miami Times
More than 30 South Florida graffiti artists and illustrators were invited to create protest-themed art on denim jackets for "The Fabric of America: Artists in Protest," an exhibition launched July 18 by the Museum of Graffiti in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.
A crisis is the best time for artistic creation. So, creating is exactly what artists are doing today.
Some are creating murals, others wearables.
"Artists typically inspire people," said Alan Ket, museum cofounder and curator. "Artists have a way of presenting topics [and] ideas in a way that really reaches to the core of our beings and to our hearts."
The exhibition, on view in person until Aug. 31, features denim jackets bedecked in messages and symbols that take a stand and speak loudly of these troubled times. With the momentum right now around the themes of racial inequality and police brutality – sparked by the death of George Floyd on May 25 – the museum provided this platform so artists could contribute to the national discussion, Ket said.

"In order to bring change in society, that momentum has to grow and continue to push forward – and we wanted to be part of the change that this world needs," he said.
For organizers and artists, the mission of the exhibition is multifaceted: "The idea of wearable art is not only to provide the artist with a platform to communicate and to share their ideas but also to be able to sell that work," Ket added. "So that particular exhibition … allows people to own a piece of protest art to wear in public and to sort of show their position in the world as far as protesting."
Added museum cofounder Allison Freidin: "In this particular time, it's very clear that all of the artists that are in the show have a very similar message that they want to convey, which is their dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs and the need for equality and to eliminate the racism in our country."

The main theme of the exhibit is protest. Some jackets make political statements (one portrays President Trump as the DC Comics character "The Joker"); others show the Black Lives Matter clenched fist symbol. One of the artists, known professionally as Cyst, painted an image of Malcolm X pulling back curtains to peer out of a window while holding a rifle.
All the participating artists are either from South Florida or currently work in South Florida, Freidin said. They include Chillski, Crome, Tackz, Disem, Ahol Sniffs Glue, Cash4, RasTerms, Klass, Cyst, Grab, Tragek, Delvs, Quake, Ticoe, View2, Chnk, Jel Martinez, Etone, Rage, Daniel Fila, June, Keds, Junk, Meta4, Drums Brown, Santiago Rubino, Cale K2S, Ruth, Faves, Blackbrain, Echo, and Tierra Armstrong.
The artists tackled a variety of hot-button issues.
"The main topic is police brutality and racial injustice, but other topics come into play in the exhibition such as equal rights, feminism, gender issues, politics and the presidency, immigration, human rights, migrant workers, capitalism, corruption, the history of resistance, even COVID," Ket said. "It was an open platform. That's why we have such a diversity of themes."
The exhibition features a poster by internationally recognized artist Futura 2000. (Photo courtesy of Museum of Graffiti)
The exhibit also embraces diverse forms of expression. There are posters by internationally recognized artists Futura 2000, Tristan Eaton and Cey Adams, as well as an audio/visual installation by Ket and fellow artist Chintz that counts down the reported time a Minneapolis police officer had his knee on George Floyd's neck.
Rounding out the exhibition are photographs by Pablo Allison, a human rights worker and documentarian. According to the museum, Allison has been following the migrant trail from Central America to the United States since 2017, and his images captured powerful instances of protest graffiti.
A portion of the proceeds from the exhibition will be donated to Empowered Youth, an organization that aims to improve the lives of inner-city young men in the Miami area, Freidin said.
Located in Miami's Wynwood District, the Museum of Graffiti is a leading contemporary art museum dedicated to sharing the power of expression, sparking wonder, and inspiring creativity for and about the graffiti art movement.
The exhibit "The Fabric of America: Artists in Protest" runs through August and tickets are available at museumofgraffiti.com.

Nigeria's state oil firm said on Jan. 18 it had paid $993.7 million up to September in arrears owed to its joint ventures with multinational oil companies by September and still had to make up payments of $3.95 billion.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corp. (NNPC) said it was seeking to raise about $2.3 billion in financing from third parties, such as joint venture partners, to help cover costs.
NNPC also said it was raising $3.15 billion through a firm called SEEPCO to develop 416 million barrels (MMbbl) of reserves from the Oil Mining License (OML) 13 field.
Minister of State for Petroleum Emmanuel Kachikwu said this month Nigeria was producing 1.78 million barrels per day (MMbbl/d).
In November, NNPC said it would increase oil production in 2019 to 1.8 million barrels per day (MMbb/d). At that time it was producing roughly 1.6 MMbbl/d.

Blazing a Trail: Jeremy Ross in Action
BACC August 1, 2011
Jeremy Ross has left his mark on Cal's campus. And on May 21st of this year, he received his Berkeley diploma and proudly became the first person in his family to graduate college.
If you ask any of his teammates on the Cal Football team, they'll each tell you why they respect Jeremy as both a leader and a friend. He's known for his animated personality that makes the whole team smile, but also for ability to engage students, keeping it real by not shying away from talking about life's challenges and hardships.
Although Jeremy has always been looked up to, he hasn't always been a leader. And the truth is: most people are not natural leaders… until God first teaches them how. That's why the campus ministry in the BACC has Christians who believe that the greatest leadership training comes from imitating the God of the Bible.
"Before, I didn't think I needed people," says Jeremy, "I prided myself in doing everything on my own. I wanted to get success for myself without anybody's help."
A tough start
Growing up in a rough neighborhood without much support, Jeremy developed a jaded view of relationships. He saw football as his individual pursuit to "get ahead" of others and fulfill his dream of self-built success.
The problem with living only for yourself is that you end up living alone.
"On the outside, I was a good dude… I was a religious guy. I didn't even cuss," says Jeremy, "But no one knew who I was." Jeremy's external image masked his real feelings about himself and the condition of his relationships.
"My life was heading in the wrong direction. I was disrespectful. I had no close friends. I was a terrible student… I was a follower," says Jeremy.
Love and truth form a good leader;
sound leadership is founded on loving integrity.
Proverbs 20: 28 (Message)
A little help from his friends
There's a point in everyone's life where God brings us together with the exact friends that we need. For Jeremy, this came when he joined the Cal Football team and met a teammate named Greg Yamamoto who invited him to church and started studying the Bible with him. He was surprised by their honesty and sincere care for each other, which was radically different than his own shallow view of relationships and self-advancing mindset.
While studying the Bible, Jeremy met Sam and Sean Manuel, both ex-49ers, who became great mentors and taught him the freedom to be yourself that comes with having a relationship with God. "Instead of just getting ahead, they taught me about making people great along the way." And it's no surprise that Sam and Sean both had to be taught the same thing when they were in college! Fortunately, they also had friends in the Bay Area Christian Church who believed in helping their friends become great through a relationship with God.
A leader is born
What Jeremy saw in Greg, Sam, Sean, and many others were two of God's most compelling traits: love and truth. God knew that Jeremy would always be empty until he learned how to be honest and how to love people more than himself. But God also knew that when Jeremy met God, his life would transform and a leader would be born.
With that as a turning point, Jeremy went on to become a Christian believing that his life is meant to positively influence others. He says, "I want to make somebody's life different because I'm in it." In the BACC campus ministry, we believe that God has destined every one us to help specific people in specific ways.
Since then, Jeremy has become a great leader, on and off the field. He has studied the Bible with countless teammates and showed them from personal experience how freeing it is to have a relationship with God and have a purpose much greater than personal success. Jeremy has now graduated, is planning a career in the NFL, and will certainly be spreading the dream of how God brings us together.

Today Jan drove us from Kamloops to Lake Louise. Quite a pretty drive through the Rockies but so many trees!
We arrived in the village at 3.30pm.
After checking in and a short break to help my back recover from the journey it was time for photos.
We drove the miles or so to Lake Louise. It was still sunny. Lots of ice on the lake with blue sky above. The mountains were so big and close I needed my widest lens to fit it all in.
I started with the light red filter but feared the dark green trees could be lost so I switched to the polarising filter. Had to adjust the filter effect for both darkening the sky and improving the reflections.
Lots of people around but still managed to take shots without them in view. I think it helped that I was standing in the lake!
Then it was a 7 mile drive to Moraine Lake. The light was good here too although going fast. It was 5.30pm. Some noisy people were ahead but headed straight ahead south along the snowy lake shore. The lake was mostly frozen but I could see some clear water to the left so headed for that hoping for reflections.
The view was just as impressive as Lake Louise. Again big mountains soaring above a small lake with blue skies. I used red and polarising filter as before. Spectacular.
At the car we were greeted by a porcupine. Looked a bit like a badger from behind but slow compared to Derbyshire racing badgers (that's another story).


Organisers: Dr Rachel Menzies (Dundee), Dr Mark Zarb (RGU).
With improved teaching efficiencies in institutions across Scotland, and reflecting industrial practice, an increasing number of assignments are completed within groups. While this allows students to build on their team working skills and gain valuable experience of working in a team environment, this provides challenges for educators in assessing group members on an individual level. This gives rise to issues of transparency, fairness and confidentiality for both students and educators.
This workshop evaluates current practise across Scotland for assessing group work. Throughout the day we want to hear from educators about how they are approaching the assessment of team work within their respective institutions. Following these discussions, we will further develop these ideas and disseminate them to the wider community.

However, even as TDP walked out of the government, it signalled that the possibility of a patch up is not ruled out.
The Congress on Wednesday said that the TDP's decision to pull out of the NDA government at the Centre was "too little, too late"

Posts: 11854/11860 I keep a few books in the bathroom that I only read when I'm sitting in there. Seems like that's where the most reading gets done.
I read "Breaking the Spell: My Life as a Rajneeshee and the Long Journey Back to Freedom" about this woman's experiences being in this cult. It ended up becoming the basis for the Netflix miniseries "Wild Wild Country," though it leaves out things like the rampant sexual assaults on minors and how almost everyone had an STI of sorts. Her 16-year-old son ended up contracting herpes from a woman who forced herself on him and later in life he developed brain lesions which led to a tumor and killed him.
My current book is called "F*cking History: 111 Lessons You Should Have Learned in School" by someone called The Captain. It's definitely a book to just leave in the bathroom. Every page is a different historical fact and it's not really something you'd keep on your shelf with your more serious books.
Otherwise I'm reading "A Hangman's Diary: Being the Journal of Master Franz Schmidt, Public Executioner of Nuremberg, 1573-1617." The introduction was over 100 pages long.
Posts: 11842/11860 Finished "Killers of the Flower Moon" pretty quickly and then quickly went through "Beyond the Dark Veil" and another book, "Freak Babylon," but the reading's been slow going since.
My To Read pile has like 50 books in it, and I grabbed this one on a WWII spy named Virginia Hall, but it's such a dry book and she's super judgey about sex workers, referring to them as her "tart friends." Trying to get SOMETHING finished I picked up where I left off in this graphic novel "Kings in Disguise," but it's also been super dry.
So now I'm in the middle of five books or so, just trying to finish something.

Posts: 11717/11726 I've read Star Wars books this year...
Original Thrawn trilogy, the EU ep7-9 and vastly better than the Disney movies:
Dark Forces Rising
The Last Command
- All Timothy Zahn. Can't wait to read more of his stuff.
Darth Plageuis = my favorite so far. Holy crap this was incredible and impressively dark/serious for SW. It is 100% dedicated to focusing on two villains and that was freaking awesome.
Started up...
Labyrinth of Evil, which is the first in the "Dark Lord" trilogy (with the apparently extremely good novelization of Ep3 being the second book). James Luceno did books 1 here and the third one, who also did Darth Plageuis. I can tell this guy is going to be one of my favorite SW authors.
Posts: 11839/11860 Since quarantine has given me some time, I've been reading a lot and ordering the books through Bookshop.org to support independent stores (because fuck Amazon.)
Since starting lockdown, I've read:
- "Seducing and Killing Nazis: Hannie, Truus and Freddie: Dutch Resistance Heroines of WWII"
by. Sophie Poldermans
- "Voodoo in New Orleans"
by. Robert Tallant
- "The Lost Diary Of Count Von Cosel"
by. Carl Von Cosel and David L Sloan IV
- "Heimskringla"
by Snorri Sturlusson
- "The Pirate Lafitte and the Battle of New Orleans"
by Robert Tallant
- "Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present"
by. Harriet A. Washington
- "Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs"
by. Caitlin Doughty
- "Fangs"
by. Sarah Andersen
And right now I'm working my way through "Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI" by David Grann and "Boxcar Bertha: An Autobiography."
Posts: 11809/11860 Reading "The Halloween Tree" by Ray Bradbury to my clients. It's going OK.

I only got through the first few chapters. I just haven't had the time. What I read was really good. Michelle did a massive amount of research and it shows. She writes sympathetically toward the victims.
Anyway, finally read "James and the Giant Peach" to my clients. They enjoyed it.
Posts: 9665/9704 How was "I'll Be Gone in the Dark"? I have been meaning to pick it up.
New books for the year:
"Frame Up" - Woman that works for a comic book publisher in Los Angeles gets pulled into a murder investigation when it appears that a serial killer is recreating events from the publisher's iconic superhero line... that is about to be relaunched. It was very entertaining.
"Victoria" - Historical fiction on the early life and reign of Queen Victoria. I believe there was a show based on it? It was actually very entertaining and I think did a lot to draw attention to a figure who is mostly looked at later in her life.
"Smoke & Summons" - Centered around a girl named Sandis, who has been sold into service as a human vessel for a spirit known as a numina and used as a living weapon by her master. She chooses to run in order to save herself.
"Myths & Mortals" - The second book in the numina series. Continuing adventures of Sandis as she tries to ensure her former master's plans do not succeed.
"The Hangman's Daughter" - Set in 17th century Bavaria, the novel not only is about solving a series of murders and saving an innocent midwife from being executed for witchcraft... it actually goes into the role of hangmen in German society, how they operated, how they were viewed. It was all really interesting. Turns out the author based his main character after one of his actual ancestors.
"Dark Monk" - Sequel to Hangman's Daughter. I am currently reading it, but this one involves a mysterious band of robbers hiding in the woods around the region and the poisoning of a local priest that may be tied to a hunt for hidden Templar treasure.
"The Handmaiden's Tale" - Actually reading this for the book club. I plowed through the first 24 chapters on my flight home from Chicago, so I had to stop and switch over to Dark Monk until the rest of the group catches up. I have never watched the show, but I know enough about it that the early confusing things made a bit more sense.
Posts: 11767/11860 Almost done with "How To Train Your Dragon," which I've been reading out loud to my clients.
Otherwise I've started reading Michelle McNamara's "I'll Be Gone in the Dark," about the Golden State Killer, and the memoir "Black Klansman."
For some reason I tend to read more non-fiction and can't get into fiction almost at all.
Posts: 11688/11860 Finished "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" with the clients. Now, I'm apparently going to start reading the novelization to "Star Wars: A New Hope" because a client requested it.
For some reason it's gotten around work that I'm obsessed with Star Wars.
Posts: 11674/11860 I've gotten back into reading comics. I mean, I'd always been reading trade paperbacks, but I've actually been going to the comic shops and tracking down issues that I want to read and collect ("Saga" lately since waiting for the trade is ridiculous and I heard there was a major death.)
In my own way, I want to help support the industry again.
Anyway, Rogue and Gambit finally got married.

Heh, there usually is a lot more to the books. There's something about words that just don't come across the same when it's directly pictured to you.
Posts: 11661/11860 Been reading "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" to my clients. I've never read it before. I've nearly teared up a few times. There's so much more to the book than the movie.
Posts: 11651/11860 Finished reading the first book in "A Series of Unfortunate Events." I didn't like it.
Also finished reading "Here Shall I Die Ashore," about Stephen Hopkins and his journeys to Jamestown (shipwrecking in Bermuda, causing a small mutiny and then inspiring a character in Shakespeare's "The Tempest") and his time on the Mayflower and his life in Plymouth Colony. Read it during our honeymoon road trip. My dad and I are direct descendants and I wanted to read about him before we visited some of the sights in Massachusetts.
Have also been reading "Mark Twain in the Company of Women," taking a feminist approach at how Samuel Clemens was affected by the ladies in his life, particularly his wife, Olivia. It's a great read, especially since most critics complain that Livy either had a negative effect on his writing or no effect at all. He wrote his best-known works when he was with her. Even with him documented writing to friends, saying she edited his work, all these male critics and writers claim she really didn't.
Posts: 9613/9704 Yeah, I was very surprised at the differences when I read it. But it just would not be the same without Gene Wilder in the movie.
So, that book club... they keep going with YA stuff and it has proven very hit and miss... but here is what we have so far:
The Bear and the Nightengale - Already mentioned, but actually a pretty good story and interesting enough that I want to read the rest of the series to see how they finish it. Also, I enjoy Russian folklore and the author actually did research. I like authors that do research.
Six of Crows - Fantasy heist story set in a world where there is magic, but the people that channel it have a stigma of sorts attached to them. It was interesting overall and had some nice steampunk elements, but could definitely have been better. I do want to get the second book but mostly because of it ending on a cliffhanger.
Stalking Jack the Ripper - Oh dear gods. Okay... so this is one of the books that James Patterson slapped his name on for a YA line (Jimmy Patterson) to get it to sell. The characters are poorly written, red herrings are EVERYWHERE, the author did a half-assed job of researching the period... it was just bad.
Children of Blood and Bone (Legacy of Orïsha) - This was a book that I suggested that got passed over for the Ripper book. It is set in a fantasy world based strongly in West African mythology and deals with the concepts of racism and prejudice in a magical setting. Magi are basically extinct, and their children who never came into their powers are second class citizens. The protaganist is on a quest to bring the Magi powers back. It was very well written, and I enjoyed it deeply. Honestly, I recommend it to anyone looking for a quick read.
Posts: 11633/11860 Reading "Charile and the the Chocolate Factory" to my clients. I'd never read it before. I'm kind of amused by how it would have been a totally different story were it more recently written.
Posts: 9600/9704 Currently working through Fire and Fury because I just had to read about the trainwreck... it is a hard read. I am reading it out loud for Kaleb's benefit, so we have to take a break after a few chapters and just go, "Wow... just... wow."
Also read The Bear and the Nightengale by Katherine Arden for the book club I got roped into. It was a very interesting and fast read based around Russian folk tales. It is also the first book in a trilogy, and I admit that I kind of want to get the other two books now... I hesitate only because of the move and the fact that the kindle version is more expensive than the paperback.
Side rant... seriously, how can publishers justify the e-book edition costing the same or more than the physical copy? There is no material cost! No paper, no shipping! It is ridiculous! I am not saying it should be free or, like, $1... but 1/2 to 3/4 price would be a far more reasonable amount.
Posts: 11521/11860 I actually haven't seen the movie. I'm pretty much waiting 'til it hits Netflix or HBO Now. The consensus seems to be that's it's pretty, but the story and acting are terrible.
Which is sort of how I've been feeling about the books, so perhaps they're a faithful adaptation?
Currently reading my copy of "Henry and Glenn Forever," a collection of comic strips about Henry Rollins and Glenn Danzig as a gay couple.
Posts: 9541/9704 I am curious, did you see the movie to compare?
But yeah, I remember reading about how heavily Valerian and Laureline influenced Star Wars... so it is really that strong?
Slowly moving through a re-read of American Gods because of the Starz show. Kinda slowed down since I got distracted by other things *cough*GameofThrones*cough*
Posts: 11518/11860 Been reading the "Valerian and Laureline" series translated from its original French. It's what Luc Besson's new-ish movie, "Valerian," is based on. I'd actually been reading them before I discovered they'd made a movie, but they've actually been fairly daunting to get through, even though they're considerably short.
I mean, the illustrations are pretty great, but the stories are just not that absorbing for me.
Still, this series was coming out in the late '60s and early '70s. You can see A LOT of influence on "Star Wars" in the visuals.
Posts: 11513/11860 If you like viking stories, it's quite good. The books are huge in appearance, but they read so fast. I've been getting them through the library on inter-library loans.
I actually haven't seen or read "Berserk," though I'd heard a lot of great talk about it from a friend many years ago.

'Overwatch' Season 3 Rewards: End date and end-of-season prizes announced
By Tim Mulkerin
Blizzard finally announced the end date for season three of Overwatch's competitive season: Feb. 21 at 4:00 p.m. Pacific time. That means you only have a few more days to rack your skill rating up to nab as many end-of-season rewards as you can.
If you need a refresher, here are all the rewards you'll earn at the end of Overwatch season three.
Overwatch season 3 rewards
For finishing your placement matches, you'll get a Volskaya-themed spray and player icon. If you cracked into the top 500 ranking at any point in the season, you'll earn an animated version of that spray and an extra player icon.
You'll also earn a chunk of competitive points based on the highest skill rating you achieved throughout the season. Here's the breakdown of points, straight from Blizzard:
SR 1-1499 (Bronze): 100 CP
If you need a reminder, you can use these competitive points to purchase golden weapons for each character, which cost 3,000 points each. You can only carry a total of 6,000 competitive points at a time, so make sure you've got enough room in your inventory for your end-of-season reward.
Blizzard said it'll announce more about season four of competitive play, which is scheduled to start on Feb. 28, in "the coming weeks." Stay tuned.

Pro-Kurdish HDP equivalent to outlawed terrorist PKK, says Erdoğan
Ahval
Feb 03 2019 09:27 Gmt+3
Last Updated On: Feb 05 2019 07:37 Gmt+3
There is no difference between Turkey's pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) and the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Sunday, while noting that Ankara maintains low-level contacts with the Syrian regime.
"The HDP equals the PKK, which equals the People's Protection Units (YPG)/The Democratic Union Party (PYD),'' Erdoğan said during a live interview on state-run TRT television on Sunday. ''The truth is out in the open. People who head [these organisations] say so [themselves] anyway.''
Erdoğan's statements arrive amid an ongoing crackdown on HDP politicians, accused by Ankara of harbouring sympathies and acting in the interest of the PKK, an armed group that has been in war in Turkey for over three decades. Ankara maintains the YPG is the Syrian offshoot of the PKK and has vowed to destroy it.
The Turkish president covered a wide range of topics during the interview, from his upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin to the country's March 31 local elections.
Noting that he would be meeting with his Russian counterpart on Feb. 14 in Sochi, where the pair are expected to discuss Syria, Turkey's strongman said Ankara supported the territorial integrity of the neighbouring war-torn country.
"Regarding Manbij we are saying now that if necessary, let us and Russia solve the issue of patrols. Such a step has been taken at this time,'' Erdoğan said.
On Dec. 12, Erdoğan declared his intention to launch a military operation "within days" against Kurdish militias in northern Syria, including those deployed alongside U.S. forces in areas like the Kurdish controlled town of Manbij.
Russian military police began patrolling areas near the northern Syrian town of Manbij earlier this month, as uncertainty continues over whether U.S. President Donald Trump will go through with his plan to withdraw U.S. forces and clear the way for a Turkish advance into the area.
Erdoğan added that Ankara maintains "low-level" contacts with the Syrian regime.
The Turkish president's comments are the first time Turkey has confirmed direct low-level talks with Damascus.
Erdoğan also spoke on the case of slain dissident Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Noting that he cannot understand U.S. "silence" over the former Washington Post contributor's killing, Erdoğan said that there may be a number of suspects in the case who are no longer alive.
"We've heard some things, maybe they may have taken some of them, and there could be among them victims of traffic accidents and such,'' the Turkish president said about the 22 suspects in the killing according to Ankara.
"I cannot understand America's silence... We want everything to be clarified because there is an atrocity, there is a murder," Erdoğan added. "The Khashoggi murder is not an ordinary one."
The journalist, known for his criticism of the Saudi crown prince Mohammad bin Salman, was murdered after he entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 3. Riyadh was slow to offer explanations about the disappearance of Khashoggi, eventually admitting that he was killed, albeit as a result of a "fistfight" inside its Istanbul consulate.
The kingdom has arrested 18 people and dismissed five senior government officials as part of an investigation into the killing, however, Turkey continues to call for a detailed probe.

The IDM Notes driver always publishes association values.
For example, my configured driver for Lotus Notes is trying to publish objects from the Notes Address Book (NAB) that have never been associated in the IDM Identity Vault. An input document is published by the Notes driver with an association, but there is not - and never has been - a corresponding object in the IDM Identity Vault (eDirectory). Why is the driver publishing these objects? What is the association value for objects in Notes, and where is it stored?
The Notes Driver's publisher does not know (or attempt to know) if an object originated from the Identity Vault and has an association there. The Notes Driver simply detects changes within the synchronized Notes database, passes them through the publication (class and attribute) filter and loopback detection check, and publishes the results to the Identity Vault with a valid association value. For the Notes Driver, this association value is always the UNID value of the corresponding Notes database document. The Notes Driver publisher assumes the Identity Vault will always need this association value. From the perspective of the Identity Vault (IDM engine), sometimes a driver may publish an event that has an association that cannot be found in the Identity Vault; when this happens, the IDM engine reports the inconsistency and throws away the command.

Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics
"The time is coming, however, when people will be astonished that mankind needed so long a time to regard thoughtless injury to life as incompatible with ethics."Albert Schweitzer, Dale Lecturer at Mansfield College, Oxford, 1923.
Associate Fellow Publishes Trailblazing Work on Animals and Social Work
Centre Associate Fellow, Dr Thomas Ryan has published the first work on animals and social work.
In Animals and Social Work: A Moral Introduction, Dr Ryan, a practicing social worker, argues that since the early twentieth century the discipline of social work has demonstrated a thoroughgoing moral indifference to the needs and wellbeing of our fellow animals. His book is focused on the key question – is this indifference morally justifiable?
Dr Ryan argues that this indifference is remarkable given that animals have always been part and parcel of the human world within which social workers practice, and that their invisibility is odder still given our species embeddedness with the natural world. He contends that our biological continuity entails moral continuity.
Ryan presents cogent arguments as to why it is that animals ought to matter morally to social workers, and engages in a sustained critique of the key moral principles that are deemed to underpin practice. He articulates an alternative moral principle that respects individuals irrespective of their species membership, and which informs a revised code of ethics that has profound theoretical and practical implications for social work and its practitioners.
Animals and Social Work: A Moral Introduction is the most recent publication of the Palgrave Macmillan Series on Animal Ethics. The Series is produced in partnership with the Centre and aims to provide a range of key introductory and advanced texts that map out positions on animal issues.
More information about the book is can be found here, and the book can be ordered here, and here.

iOS update makes it obvious if your boss can monitor your phone
By James Walker Mar 2, 2016 in Technology
Apple has rolled out a new beta of iOS 9 to its developers, containing mostly bug fixes and general improvements. One new feature has been receiving attention as iOS now displays obvious alerts when a device is being monitored by a boss.
The change was noted by Reddit user MaGNeTiX, Mashable reports. After installing iOS 9 Beta 5, a prominent message appears on the lock-screen of iPhones and iPads that are managed by a corporate IT leader, warning the user that their activities could be monitored.
The message is a new component of Mobile Device Management (MDM), part of Apple's Device Enrolment Program which helps businesses to maintain and configure large volumes of company devices from one location. Usually, employees are left free to access the majority of the phone's features. The new warning message will serve as a reminder to workers who may use their phone for activities considered inappropriate for office hours.
New "This iPhone is managed by your organisation" message in iOS 9.3 Beta 5 on lockscreen and in Settings > General > About
Reddit user MaGNeTiX
The banner reads "This iPhone is managed by your organisation," quietly informing the user that they aren't holding their own device. The message is repeated in the "About" page of the settings menu and only appears when the iPhone is enrolled in Apple's Supervised Devices mode.
Although not a major addition, the feature highlights Apple's commitment to protecting user privacy. Some people supplied with an iPhone by their work may not be aware their employer can monitor their activities, an issue that the message will help to mitigate.
Users don't directly gain increased privacy but are prompted to consider whether they are using their phone for communications considered safe for work. It increases the transparency of the iOS software, preventing an employer from secretly monitoring the activities of their workers by supplying pre-configured managed devices.
The privacy-oriented feature has been introduced as Apple fights an FBI ruling forcing it to unlock an iPhone. The device, owned by one of the San Bernardino shooters, has been the centre of controversy for several weeks as Apple has refused to decrypt the software, claiming that doing so would set a dangerous precedent for the future.
In January, Apple CEO Tim Cook used an open letter and interview to re-emphasize Apple's commitment to providing its users with secure and private software, describing the government's demands as "chilling" and the "software equivalent of cancer." The increased transparency of Supervised Devices mode in the latest iOS beta could an example of Apple's intent to continue increasing the security and privacy of its devices.
iOS 9.3 is currently in its fifth beta version with developers. It will be rolled out to all iPhones when Apple has finished testing and polishing the update.

In the Summer of '17 I took a walk with Avenue around Cambridge. I had just started shooting film again after a small sabbatical from the medium. We chatted about his career plans, his family and life in general, all while snapping a few photos along the way. We spent maybe an hour or so together and walked away with a full roll to be developed. This became the formula for my future portrait sessions. Minimal planning except a starting location and which film stock we wanted to use. Most of my sessions I keep to strictly film unless an extremely quick turn around time is needed. I talk with each artist before hand about the look and style their looking for and choose which film I use accordingly. I hand develop all the black and white film I use and scan each roll by hand to have a hands on process the entire time. My goal as I move forward with this project is to create more personal photographs of each artist that get behind their public facing image and show the person behind the music. This project is still in the works and will be expanding over the next few months. The photos below are my personal favorites from each session and below that you can find more photos from each session.
ETS and I met outside a concert in 2015. We both had heard of each other and were fans of each others work the months prior to us actually meeting. Fast forward a few years of running into each other at shows and we finally decided to get together and do some portraits. ETS came down to MA from NH on a rainy November morning. This was my first session using my new Fuji GW690ii so I was fairly excited and I even broke out the Polaroid SX70 for a few shots. We spent a few hours walking/driving around Allston and circled back to my apartment just as it got dark. We shot a few rolls and walked away with some great photos between a good diversity of film stocks. That's a good session if you ask me.
Where do I start with Mike Wing? Mike is a great friend, he's always smiling, wicked fun to be around and knows when to goof off and when to get down to work and thats what I like about him. The first half of these photos are from when we filmed his video "Yada Yay" which we filmed in 43minutes in my abandoned college with a bottle of tequila. Inbetween takes I'd make Mike take a shot or two to loosen him up. Did I also mention this was Mid-August on one of the hottest days in a room with no open windows? He was a champ about it though and it's one of my favorite videos we've worked on together. I also tossed in a photo of Mike and myself in there since it was on the same roll. The second half of these photos was from a more tradition shoot we did in Roxbury and Jamaica Plain. I've rambled on enough already though so hope you enjoy the photos and email me if you want the full story on the second half.

Korean ladies return home to domestic duties
– October 7, 2015Posted in: news
Three of the Korean women involved in finals on Sunday at the Thailand Open Grand Prix Gold were right back on court on Monday playing in Korea's National Sports Festival (NSF). Women's doubles runners-up Jang Ye Na (pictured) and Lee So Hee were playing against each other as early as noon on Monday. Jang, who was playing doubles with former Olympic and Asian Games gold medallist Lee Hyo Jung, followed up her victory over her current national team partner with another a few hours later against Eom Hye Won, the mixed champion in Thailand.
Jang and Lee eventually took the gold for North Gyeonsang Province on Tuesday, prevailing in the final against Thailand Open semi-finalist Kim Ha Na, who was representing Busan. Kim was playing with Park So Ri, even though her team-mates include national team stalwarts Chae Yoo Jung and Shin Seung Chan. Kim and Park, too, had to get past some Thailand Open semi-finalists to reach the final. They beat South Jeolla's Go Ah Ra / Yoo Hae Won in the second round.
North Gyeongsang took the men's doubles gold in the professional division as well. Former World Champions Ko Sung Hyun / Shin Baek Cheol won back the title they last took in 2013 by beating Lee Yong Dae / Han Sang Hoon in the second round and then two-time defending champions Yoo Yeon Seong and Jung Jung Young in the final.
The badminton competition of the NSF is being held a week earlier than the rest of the events so that Korea's top players can fulfill their obligations at the Denmark Open Superseries Premier next week, an event that top ten players can be fined for skipping. The doubles events are followed by men's and women's team events which wind up on Saturday morning and the team will fly together to Denmark on Sunday.

While they might not be able to go out trick-or-treating anymore, college students can still dress up in costumes and host Halloween parties for their friends. Halloween is a popular theme for parties on college campuses. And, with the right decorations, games, food, and drinks, these parties can be both a spooky and memorable time.
To transform a room into a scary Halloween setting, students can place pumpkins on tables, and they can string fake cobwebs throughout the room. Orange light bulbs can replace regular white bulbs for an eerie effect. Depending on the particular theme they are going for, students can make cutouts of various Halloween symbols, such as tombstones and bats, to hang on the walls or from the ceilings.
For games, students can play Halloween trivia. Before the party, the host can create a list of ten questions and answers about Halloween-related people, places, and events. At the party the host can ask the partygoers the questions, and the person who answers the most questions correctly can receive a prize, such as a Halloween-themed DVD like The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
For partygoers who enjoy Halloween music, the host can start a "Thriller" dance contest in which guests perform their best impersonation of the dance moves in the music video. In addition to a dance contest, the host can also have a costume contest. Each guest can vote for the best costume, and the winner can receive a Halloween-themed prize, such as a pumpkin bucket filled with candy.
The hosts of Halloween parties can serve simple fall-themed appetizers and desserts for their guests. Fall-themed appetizers and desserts can include foods that contain apples and pumpkins. For appetizers, hosts can serve apple-cheese spread, pumpkin-cheese balls, or spiced pumpkin seeds. For desserts, hosts can serve pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies, or baked apples. And, they can also provide the Halloween staple – candy.
For many people, the autumn season is synonymous with apple cider. Therefore, hosts can make hot apple cider for their Halloween parties. And, if the guests are of the legal drinking age, then the hosts can add rum to the cider. Also, the hosts can offer pumpkin-flavored beverages, such as pumpkin beer and wine. For a special drink, the hosts can offer pumpkin or apple martinis.
From tasty fall cocktails to spooky decorations, there are several ways students can throw a fun and memorable Halloween party. Student hosts can decorate their party rooms with cobwebs and orange lights, and they can plan Halloween-themed games, such as trivia and dance contests. And, they can serve pumpkin- and apple-flavored food and drinks.

A pair of prize melons has sold in Japan for nearly $25,000, recovering from a pandemic price slump./AFP
May 24, 2021 - 12:59 PM
TOKYO, JAPAN — In what might be the unlikeliest indicator of a post-pandemic recovery, a pair of premium Japanese melons have sold for $24,800 at auction, over 22 times more than last year's virus-hit price.
The 2.7 million yen price tag at the season's first auction for the famed Yubari melons is still a snip compared to records for the prized produce.
"This year's recovery in price can be seen as a result of buyers looking to encourage people by putting in higher bids," a wholesale market official told AFP.
The successful bidder was a local manufacturer of baby food, whose president said he hoped the purchase would spread a bit of a good cheer.
"Although there's still plenty of negative news, I hope this can help people smile and overcome the coronavirus pandemic," he told national broadcaster NHK.
Seasonal fruit offerings in Japan routinely attract massive sums from buyers seeking prestige and plenty of free publicity.
In 2019, a pair of Yubari melons went for a record five million yen but the price plunged to just 120,000 yen last year, with growers blaming the virus for keeping away rich bidders eager to outdo each other.
The melons come from Hokkaido, the country's northernmost main island and a popular tourist destination.
The region is currently under a virus state of emergency along with nine other areas including the capital Tokyo.

This year's season of PAAC Cross Country events started with the first meeting at Wembury. Fortunately the weather was calm, between the storms we have been having, allowing children to try their very best amid the mud! All Wembury pupils completed their races and it was wonderful seeing some try for the first time and just pace themselves around. Well done to all but especially our Year 6 who gained places in the top ten and especially to Ben who gained a 2nd place and Emily who narrowly missed out on third.
We look forward to future successes over the next three meetings.


Modern openers are complicated electric units, which control the movement, security and speed of the garage door.
