We welcome suggestions for improving our work in the school. We understand that a common fear is that our relationship with you and your child will be affected if you express dissatisfaction.
Most concerns and complaints can be sorted out quickly by speaking with your child's class teacher. All staff will make every effort to resolve your problem informally.
They will make sure that they understand what you feel went wrong, and they will explain their own actions to you. They will ask what you would like the school to do to put things right.
Of course, this does not mean that in every case they will come round to your point of view but it will help both you and the school to understand both sides of the question. It may also help to prevent a similar problem arising again.
If you are dissatisfied with the teacher's response you can make a complaint to the Headteacher. This could be made in writing or by making an appointment to discuss the problem.
You may find it helpful at this stage to have a copy of the full statement of the School Complaints Procedure as this explains in detail what procedures are followed. This is available from the School.
The Headteacher will ask to meet you for a discussion of the problem. You may take a friend or someone else with you if you wish.
They will conduct a full investigation of the complaint and may interview any members of staff or pupils involved. You will then receive a written response to your complaint which you may wish to discuss with them.
If you are still not satisfied, you may wish to contact the Chair of Governors and request that they look again at your complaint and the Headteacher's response.
The Chair of Governors will seek to clarify your concerns and undertake their own independent investigation. You will then receive a written response to your complaint.
Should you remain dissatisfied with the response from the Chair of Governors, you can ask for your complaint to be referred to a Governing Body Complaints Review Panel.
This will comprise a group of 3 governors from the school who, as far as is possible, have no previous knowledge of the problem and who will therefore be able to give it fresh assessment.
You will be invited to attend a meeting and speak to the Panel in person. The full School Complaints procedure available from the school explains how these meetings operate.
The Advice and Conciliation Service is an impartial service that aims to help all partners and agencies become more responsive to comments, complaints, criticisms and suggestions from parents and carers, young people and other service users with regard to school-based issues.
We aim to investigate and resolve issues through mediation and to promote conciliation towards resolving difficulties.
We offer impartial, independent and confidential support to parents and carers who are dissatisfied with the service they have received from a school.
We provide information, help and advocacy to parents, carers and others by suggesting approaches and ways of dealing with issues, to reduce the number of referrals that might otherwise become formal complaints.
The Parent Partnership Service provide impartial, confidential information, advice and support to parents or carers of children with special educational needs on all matters relating to their child's education.

On a recent trip to CT, I photographed a look book for a designer friend.
It was a challenge! The clothing was for summer, but in CT it was quite a cold 35 degrees!
I decided to shoot in the studio where it was warm and we had lights. Well shortly after we began, the power went out and we had to improvise, fast!
The sun was setting, it was going down to freezing. We managed. Quite well considering!
Nice Photos You Have Here. I'm not a photographer, Photography is just my hobby and i don't have the talent on portrait photography LOL!. do you know some sites where i can learn more about portraits?
Shoot shoot shoot! You learn the most by doing! Also, try to emulate some of your favorites.
I actually used to be a model, then a make up artist, those two careers have given me great insight into portraits! I also LOVE people! They are the most interesting creatures!
Keep shooting! You'll find your niche!
Oh My Goodness!! I am in love with this lookbook & since your sense of style is so great you should check out this http://everydayfashionwitha.wordpress.com xoxo -Aden, Enjoy!


TORRANCE, Calif., November 18, 2013 – Toyota Financial Services (TFS) / Lexus Financial Services (LFS) is kicking off its third annual "GoGreen" campaign, encouraging customers to sign up for paperless billing statements; allowing them to receive monthly emails when their bill is due, rather than traditional paper statements sent through the mail. Between November 1, 2013, and January 31, 2014, for every customer that signs up to "GoGreen," TFS/LFS will donate $5 to Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA), up to a total of $200,000. In addition to the convenience of online account management, customers may also access and pay bills through the company's mobile website and smartphone apps.
For its third year, TFS/LFS is hoping to repeat the enormous success of its previous two campaigns. The first year, the company surpassed its targeted goal when a record 239,450 customers signed up for the program.
Every day, BGCA members across the nation participate in numerous "green" activities, such as recycling projects and community clean-ups. By choosing to "GoGreen," TFS/LFS customers are not only helping provide much-needed funds to BGCA, they are helping to greatly reduce the volume of paper statements that TFS/LFS sends each month; conserving approximately 270,000 lbs of paper (nearly 13,000 household garbage bags' worth). The "GoGreen" campaign reduces the company's impact on the environment, while supporting after-school and life-skills programs that teach young people how to better care for their neighborhoods… and for their planet.

From the 2nd Annual Shorty Social Good Awards
All Jazz is Modern: Streaming Jazz Around the World
Finalist in Facebook Presence
Entered in Live Streaming Video
At the heart of Jazz at Lincoln Center's mission is the goal of expanding a global community for jazz, one of America's unique, original art forms. Beginning in 2012, Jazz at Lincoln Center embarked on a mission to utilize the nascent technology of streaming video, coupled with social media, to build an entirely new audience for jazz and for the organization. Investing in a professional, multi-cam setup for each of our three stages, as well as dedicated audio mixing engineers and staff positions dedicated to managing livestreams, we began sharing the majority of our concerts online, completely free, and in real-time.
In doing so, we became the first major performing arts organization to stream virtually every concert it stages at no cost to viewers.
Last year, when Facebook opened its Live platform to more third party partners, we began simultaneously broadcasting via Facebook Live, bringing the swinging art of jazz to even wider audiences.
Our lives do not only take place in the physical world; why should our experiences with art and culture? Digital experiences also dramatically expand access to the arts, bringing these experiences into free and easily accessible frameworks with significantly lower barriers to entry.
Our strategy remains simple: bring jazz to the global community by broadcasting for free and in exceptional quality.
Broadcasting in the Highest Quality
From the start, we wanted to present our concerts and the artists onstage in the best quality possible.
JALC utilizes the latest audio and video technology to create our high definition, multi-camera webcasts. Each production is assigned one camera operator, one robotic camera operator, and a director. Most productions utilize seven or eight cameras placed on stage and throughout the venues to give the viewer the best access to the musicians. We have cultivated a video crew that is fluent in the language of jazz and the results speak for themselves. Additionally, each webcast is assigned a recording engineer who mixes the concert live, specifically for our at-home audience. This engineer also creates a multi-track recording of every concert at JALC for our archives.
Breaking Down Barriers to Experiencing Art
By broadcasting live simultaneously on Livestream and on Facebook Live, we make it easy for jazz fans around the world, regardless of financial ability or location, to enjoy Jazz at Lincoln Center's rich concert experiences.
Reminding Fans Across Channels
Pre-scheduled reminders with links to tune-in on Twitter and Instagram let fans know that a concert webcast has just begun, helping us build excitement and reach more fans online.
Maintaining the Integrity of Live Performance
The magic of a live performance comes from being surrounded by fellow music lovers and experiencing the magic and mood created by the performers. We aim to recreate that experience with our livestream audience, having them virtually gather to view the concert in real-time only, with the capability to chat with us (and our technicians) as well as each other.
This model also allows us as an organization to protect the rights of the artists and their music. We hide each webcast video out of respect for the rights of artists performing on our stages and the holders of rights to music performed.
Since the beginning our free webcast initiative, Jazz at Lincoln Center has broadcast more than 1,000 concerts across the globe, reaching virtually every country on Earth, an unprecedented success and a first for a major performing arts organization. In conjunction with its webcasting initiative, Jazz at Lincoln Center also set out to grow the online audience it engages with directly.
Between 2013 and 2015, that audience grew from 200,000 to 1,000,000 and now stands at 1.5 million across social media platforms, email lists, and monthly unique web visitors. Simultaneously, the organization has dramatically increased the number of donors supporting the organization, and launched additional advocacy initiatives including Blue Engine Records, a full-service record label, and Jazz Night in America, a radio and video program produced in collaboration with WBGO and NPR Music.
While we had great success with streaming our concerts on Livestream, nothing could prepare us for the number of views we would get when we began publishing on Facebook Live. Over the course of four years of publishing on Livestream, we accumulated over 2,320,000 video views. But in just 10 months of publishing on Facebook Live, we've achieved over 4,390,000 views.
Facebook Live has helped us get closer to our mission-based goal of sharing jazz music with the world. Every Live video is filled with comments like "Thank you from Argentina" and "Watching from the UAE" and "Enjoying this from Portugal! Thank you."

Our Poll Results Are In: How IT Professionals are Handling Pokémon GO at Work
Christina Wang | July 13, 2016
As the Pokémon GO frenzy continues to sweep the nation, and amidst news that the game gets full access to your Google account, we wanted to see how IT professionals are handling this potential security risk at work. To find out, we asked our readers to take a quick 2-minute poll yesterday. Here are the results.
Poll Demographics
Out of 70 respondents in IT and security roles:
8.5% are at the executive or VP level
40% are at the director or manager level
51.5% are individual contributors
Organization size:
1-100 employees: 28%
101-1,000 employees: 40%
1,001-5,000 employees: 15%
5,000+ employees: 17%
Do you think Pokémon GO is a security risk for your organization?
News broke yesterday that Pokémon GO posed a major security risk for your Google account, gaining access to your search history, personal information, Google Drive files, location history, and more. That kind of data access is usually reserved for trusted apps, not gaming apps. Niantic Inc, the developer behind the game, said it was a mistake and that they're working on a fix.
Still, it raises questions about security risks and potentially exposing data. About half of our respondents (48%) said that they did think Pokémon GO was a security risk for their organizations. 19% said they weren't sure. Interestingly, although 48% of our respondents saw the game as a security risk, an equal percentage (48%) do not track third-party applications, which suggests that there may be room to start monitoring external apps more closely.
Do you allow users to install third-party applications?
Most IT professionals do give their employees the freedom to install third-party applications. Almost three-quarters of our respondents (73%) said they allowed their end users to install them. Only about a quarter (22%) of respondents said they do not allow it.
Do you track third-party application use?
Although the majority of respondents allow users to install third-party apps, about half (48%) of them said that they do not track third-party application use. 40% said they do use some sort of tool or service to track it.
If you track third-party application use, have you seen Pokémon GO show up on your dashboard or console?
Out of the respondents who do track third-party application use, most of them (42%) say they have not seen Pokémon GO show up on their dashboard or console. 38% say they're not sure, and 20% say they have indeed seen it.

Replacing your transmission fluid and filter according to your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations helps preserve the life of the transmission, helps maintain your vehicle warranty and can keep your transmission gears and torque converter well-lubricated and in good working condition. This can help prevent costly repairs or breakdowns and more importantly prolong the life of your vehicle's transmission. As part of your routine maintenance you should have your transmission fluid checked at every oil change. If you drive in extreme conditions, you may need to have your transmission fluid changed more often.
Transmission fluid lubricates, cools and cleans internal transmission parts. To prolong transmission life you must change the fluid regularly. Heat is your transmission's greatest enemy. As your transmission heats and cools, the fluid breaks down due to oxidation. Transmission fluid can be destroyed in as little as 15,000 miles. This may cause your transmission to stop shifting properly or fail completely.
Whether your vehicle has an automatic or manual transmission let Blaesi's Automotive get your car back in gear.

Maria Janina Lipczyńska-Koper z domu Chmielowiec (ur. 18 czerwca 1916 w Samborze, zm. 8 sierpnia 1984 w Warszawie) – polska prawniczka, adwokat, profesor nauk prawnych, specjalistka z zakresu prawa karnego procesowego i logiki, początkowo związana z Uniwersytetem Jagiellońskim, a następnie z Uniwersytetem Wrocławskim.

Życiorys
Urodziła się w rodzinie nauczycieli – Mariana Chmielowca (1884–1962) i Olgi z domu Rozenberg (1880–1963). Studia prawnicze na Uniwersytecie Jagiellońskim ukończyła w 1938 roku, a już rok później uzyskała tytuł doktora na podstawie rozprawy dotyczącej pojęcia niebezpieczeństwa w prawie karnym. Była uczennicą profesora Władysława Woltera. Przed wybuchem wojny zdążyła rozpocząć jeszcze aplikację sądową, którą ukończyła dopiero po wojnie. W okresie okupacji pracowała w Izbie Rzemieślniczej w Krakowie.

W okresie powojennym pracowała w prokuraturze, z której odeszła w 1951 roku, poświęcając się głównie pracy naukowej, choć wykonywała również zawód adwokata w izbie krakowskiej.

Pracowała jako asystent, adiunkt, a w końcu kierownik Katedry Postępowania Karnego na Wydziale Prawa i Administracji UJ. W 1961 roku rada wydziału przyznała jej stopień docenta. W 1960 r. objęła stanowisko kierownika Zakładu, a później Katedry Postępowania Karnego na Uniwersytecie Wrocławskim. W 1971 roku została profesorem nadzwyczajnym, a w 1976 – profesorem zwyczajnym.

Napisała wiele artykułów i glos dotyczących zagadnień prawa karnego materialnego i procesowego, kryminalistyki oraz logiki. Próbowała wykorzystać ustalenia logiki w nauce prawa karnego materialnego i procesowego. We współautorstwie z profesorem Władysławem Wolterem opracowała podręcznik do logiki dla prawników. Pod jej redakcją powstał popularny w latach 70. podręcznik akademicki do postępowania karnego, była również współautorką komentarza do kodeksu postępowania karnego z 1969 roku. Obok profesora Mariana Cieślaka uchodziła za jeden z najbardziej liczących się autorytetów w dziedzinie procesu karnego w całym kraju.

Za osiągnięcia w pracy naukowej i zaangażowanie w prace Komisji Kodyfikacyjnej została uhonorowana Krzyżem Kawalerskim Orderu Odrodzenia Polski.

Była słabego zdrowia, przez większość życia zmagała się z chorobą utrudniającą jej poruszanie się. Inna nieuleczalna choroba stała się przyczyną jej przedwczesnej śmierci. Spoczywa w grobie rodzinnym na Cmentarzu Rakowickim w Krakowie (kwatera VII-zach.-30).

Sligo Poets
Poetry 1912
Sligo Poetry 1912
Sligo Champion
Sligo Independent

Sligo Newspaper Poems
Sligo Newspaper Poems 1916
This website intends to publish, with some comments and background notes, many of the poems which were published in local Sligo newspapers in the years beginning with 1912.
It is especially interested in those poems written by Sligo authors and will try as far as is possible to identify these authors. This is not always easy, many poems were unattributed, many authors used pseudonyms and it was common practice to include poems from other publications and volumes of poetry without giving the source.
There is no suggestion that any or all of these are great poetry. What is interesting is the large volume of such poetry which was published and the range of topics and styles this involved. They are written in the main by so called ordinary people who felt the need to express their thought in verse and have it published for a wide readership.
Some poems seem to be one offs, produced for a particular occasion, a death, a political event or a public feeling. Others are written by people who obviously regarded themselves as poets in the sense that they composed and sought publication regularily.
Above: The Lady Erin monument at the junction of Castle Street, Market Street and Grattan Street. This memorial to the 1798 rebellion was begun in October 1898 and unveiled in September 1899.
Some explanation on the background to particular poems will also be provided and will some few comments on styles and themes.
It is hoped that this project, starting with the year 1912, might continute to 1923.
It will be interesting to see how the poetry published will reflect the political upheavals of those years which saw the outbreak of World War 1, the change in attitude among the people, the 1916 Rising, the rise of Sinn Féin and the IRA and the War of Independence, the Treaty and the Civil War.
The author would be delighted to hear from anyone with an interest in this period, who knows of other published poetry of the period with Sligo relevance and especially anyone who can help identify the many anonymous poets of the period.
The background political events of these years in Sligo are well covered in my book Sligo; The Irish Revolution 1912-1923 published by Four Courts Press in 2012. Other useful books for the social, historical and political background in Sligo at this period are listed in the bibliography on this site.
What the bibliography lacks is articles and books dealing with this kind of poetry in Ireland and elsewhere. Suggestions are very welcome.

Late Sunday afternoon snowflakes began to drift down and slowly coat the city of Auburn in a powdery blanket of white. Throughout the night the snow continued on and off. The slow but persistent snowfall gave Auburn its first white Christmas since 2008. Auburn saw roughly 3 inches of snow throughout the city, just the right amount to enjoy winter games but not too much to overwhelm the city.
Here are some photos of the city as a winter wonderland!
Kevin Berg's service dog Evris plays in the snow.
Unfortunately the snow wasn't fun for everyone. Though the city began deicing and plowing Sunday night, snow and ice remained on the roads causing hazardous driving conditions. Throughout the city vehicles were seen abandoned on the side of the road, a frequent sight around the Puget Sound in snowy conditions. One man was lucky after his SUV turned on it's side along Lake Tapps Pkwy. Witnesses shared they saw the driver out speaking and laughing with rescue workers on the scene, apparently finding humor in his situation.
One ValleyComm dispatcher indicated the snow and icy road conditions made for a longer and busier shift for the dispatch call center.
The roads are not the only thing that are slick, so please be cautious as you walk. Not all sidewalks or parking lots have been (fully) shoveled and/or deiced.
While Auburn and the Puget Sound region remains a winter wonderland, check out the Red Cross' cold weather safety tips to have a safe rest of the winter.


Kim Fitzgerald Wins 2018 A.C.E. Award!
We are proud to announce, Kim Fitzgerald, Director has received the 2018 A.C.E. (Achievement, Commitment, and Excellence) Award from the CPA Firm Management Association during this year's national conference held in Las Vegas, NV.


Decryption efforts on MCT files proved successful. They are carrying a bulk of the ship's navigational systems and are working on researching them, if their relating personnel list we retrieved is any indication. This is technology we cannot let slip by, and must be attended to. We have the address for which this process is taking place at.
Mit's employer, a Herr Brauchaus, has managed to find out Mit is assuredly working with another party. We have no immediate reason to believe, however, that he has any more information than that. He has, however, requested a meeting with said party (us). It will be Tuesday night at 8PM in a high-security private back room of a local restaurant.
Information from Mit has pointed to a fixer by the name of 'Lazlo' as being the one who worked with the Void's Mr. Johnson representative. Contact with him may provide information with further Void activities in the area. Furthermore, he is reputed to be one who vests heavily in coordinating with Renraku, and could prove to be a strong source of leads as a result.
FastJack files decrypted has provided us with detailed notes of city-specific megacorp affairs. Specific note of interest brings attention to the fact that Renraku, despite being the first on the scene of the Endymion recovery, had formally removed themselves from the area after an incident that put them in much debt, leaving only local subsidiaries. With this fact brought to our attention, its less likely that Renraku was simply faster on the draw of response, and more ready for the crash itself. We should act with this being the most likely assumption in mind.
Local Contact Runner - Mit - Working to provide us with further information on the Renraku and MCT recoveries of the Endymion crash. By Mit's observations, Renraku had some edge on this effort, first to the scene. Whether that was by some capability of detection or by speed of mobility is yet to be deciphered.
Our current arrangement with Mit has established our interest in trading the MCT manifest for a similar manifest from Renraku, should he prove capable of providing it.
Forced entry of local data haven belonging to one 'FastJack', rumored to be the best hacker on the planet. We received many files running through decryption as we speak. We may find something useful from further analysis. We were, however, detected in our attempts at entry, and we should be leery of potential retaliation to that in the future.
Two Void commlinks and prisoners taken as a result of their attempted ambush on us during our follow up with the Crimson Claw encounter. Current efforts are being made to learn from these what we can.
Crimson Claw's recorded sessions with the 'Mr. Johnson' that proved to be a Void operative revealed that their initial meeting had been just after Claw's defeat in the arena, still in the area. They are likely to be watching us if we head to that location.
Whats Next-Resulting focus: Currently, there are four main avenues to pursue.
-Follow up with Mit if he can provide a Renraku recovery manifest, as that is our biggest lead on finding the Endymion crew, by process of elimination concerning the other two. Finding the crew is priority, but pressuring Mit to work faster won't speed the process.
-Follow up with Mit and Esmere when they can put us in contact with the fixer Lazlo, for gathering information about Void and Renraku hiring activities, potentially having to pose as a Runner group in order to do so.
- Meet with Herr Brachaus under a similar guise as local Runners in order to keep our outsider presence hidden.
- Infiltrate the MCT research area and dispose of all navigation system's evidence to prevent the technology from falling into the wrong hands under the wrong means.
Mapped local network space to allow proper browsing and automated searching.
Used network to find reports of 'asteroid' crash in the area of Puget Sound as a result.
Made local contacts due to mutual interest in the asteroid reports.
Local contacts set us up with the opportunity to build local funding, and also earned ourselves local commlinks with six forged SIN's to allow easy planet side purchase.
Established the three megacorps that made recoveries of the 'asteroid' crash and the whereabouts of one - Ares - at a nearby dock.
Made a move in taking the Ares' recovery. Only managed a partial recovery. Had run-in with local competition, Shadowrunners, and took a prisoner.
Used competition findings to verify Void presence in the area. Followed up on this to setup conflict with a Void operative acting as a Mr. Johnson and stopped his hiring of locals for counter-action. Local prisoner was released on friendly terms after cooperating with this setup.
Made second move in taking the Ares' recovery, taking the rest from an AreSpace sky rise in the downtown area.
Forced entry into local data haven and retrieved files giving detailed history lessons to help further our understanding of the setting.
MCT data stores infiltrated via VR interface. Recovered manifest of their Endymion recovery and address for where they are researching said items.

Young Marble Giants: Colossal Youth
Andy Battaglia
Colossal Youth
Listen to just one Young Marble Giants song, and you're bound to be underwhelmed; listen to three or four in a sitting, and you may have to remind yourself to breathe. A seemingly small, unassuming band from Cardiff, Wales, Young Marble Giants happened into legendary status when they put out Colossal Youth in the post-punk prime of 1980. The album was as radical as any other at the time (see classics by Public Image Ltd., Gang Of Four, Talking Heads, et al.), but YMG made its point with a sound that was uncommonly quiet and demure—a precursor to thousands of bedroom balladeers to come. The songs still have a surprising ability to spin out moments of divine beauty and despair, no less so on a new three-disc reissue that includes more or less everything the band ever did.

Yeah, it's coming in pink too. And what?
Huawei has launched its new flagship 'design-oriented' phone, with top-end specs crammed into a tiny frame.
Unlike the Ascend P2, this phone is design-led, but with a decent spec list second. It comes with a 1.5GHz quad core processor with 2GB RAM.
Like most Huawei devices, the Ascend P6 has been leaked all over the shop – but it appears to be worth it, with the brushed metal device sporting a 5MP camera on the front of the phone, for even clearer duck-pout shots.
And Huawei is dead set on claiming the World's Thinnest Smartphone title again, with the Ascend P6 coming in at 6.18mm thin.
The rear packs an 8MP option, which is less impressive (although does have an f2.0 aperture, which will give good low-light performance), as is the 4.7-inch 1280 x 720 screen, although Huawei has stepped up its game recently with improving the clarity of its displays, with in-cell LCD technology on offer.
It's also running the latest version of Android in the shape of 4.2.2, as well as 8GB of internal storage, supplemented by a microSD card slot.
Confusingly there's no 4G capability on offer with this handset either, so it's only DC-HSPA on offer for 3.9G (or whatever stupid number they're giving it these days) connectivity.
Android has been skinned somewhat – and some may not like the new Emotion UI. It's a simplified version, but takes away things like the app tray, which any user of Android will be used to – but at least there's Dolby Digital Plus in the mix, which mitigates the slightly lower 2000mAh battery.
Huawei wants us to believe that its 'unique Automated Discontinuous Reception (ADRX) and Quick Power Control (QPC) battery optimization and power saving technology improves performance by more than 30%'… a theory we've yet to see proven.
The phone will be available in white, black or pink (for the men who care about their skin. Not the ladies. That would be sexist), and will be coming to 'Western Europe' in July through most of the networks – although not EE, obviously.
Huawei has confirmed that the phone will land priced at €449 (around £380,AU$595) - a fair bit cheaper than the Galaxy S4 and HTC One - and that it will land next month. It will also be coming to Australia, though we haven't heard price specifics for there just yet.


In a small pot, combine cherries, 3/4 cup sugar, and brandy. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the cornstarch. Allow to cook for a couple minutes more until it begins to thicken. Then, remove sauce from heat and allow to cool completely.
Add about 3/4 cup cream in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring just to a simmer – there will be vigorous bubbles all around the edge, but not quite in the middle – then take off the heat immediately.
Pour the chocolate into the hot cream and allow to stand for a couple of minutes. Use a whisk and slowly start to stir in the middle of the mixture with small circular motions Continue stirring in small circles as the chocolate begins to mix into the cream in dark streaks. Slowly begin to stir in larger motions and stir until the mixture is a uniform brown color. Allow the chocolate and cream mixture to cool to about room temperature – it will thicken some in the process.
In the meantime, chill the rest of the cream. When everything is cool, add the chilled cream to a bowl with the sugar and vanilla and beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks begin to form. Then, scrape in the chocolate cream and continue to beat until the all of the cream is light chocolate colored and forms stiff peaks. Chill.
To assemble the fools, layer cherry sauce and chocolate whipped cream in alternating layers in glass dessert bowls or parfait glasses (you can also make one large fool in a glass bowl), ending with whipped cream on the top. Allow to chill until ready to serve. Garnish each serving with chocolate shavings, or a cherry, or both!
This looks very festive! I like the coffee addition.


We believe Jesus Christ is the only begotten son of the father, conceived of the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary.
We believe that Jesus Christ was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That he also ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as our Intercessor.
We believe in water baptism by immersion after repenting of your sins and receiving Jesus Christ's gift of salvation and should be baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the millennial reign of Christ when Jesus returns with his Saints at his second coming and begins His rule over the earth for 1000 years.
millennial reign on this earth.

US Army: Iranian patrol boat tried to blind US Navy ships in the Gulf
The incident is the latest in a series of incidents involving US and Iranian ships in the Gulf.
IranUS ArmyPersian GulfStrait of HormuzUS-Iran

An Iranian patrol boat tried to temporarily blind US Navy ships in the Strait of Hormuz by shining a spotlight toward the vessels and crossing within 150 yards of them on Monday night, US Central Command said in a statement on Tuesday, as quoted by CNN.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps patrol boat acted in an "unsafe and unprofessional manner," CENTCOM said, adding the behavior violated international standards for safe maritime behavior.
The guided-missile destroyer USS The Sullivans and expeditionary sea base platform ship USS Lewis B. Puller deescalated the situation by using audible warnings and non-lethal lasers, according to CENTCOM. The ships were transiting through international waters in the strategic waterway when the incident occurred.
"This dangerous action in international waters is indicative of Iran's destabilizing activity across the Middle East," CENTCOM spokesman Col. Joe Buccino said in the statement, according to CNN.
"The Iranian vessel attempted to blind the bridge by shining a spotlight and crossed within 150 yards of the US ships – dangerously close, particularly at night," the statement added.
In August, an Iranian ship seized an American military unmanned research vessel in the Gulf but released it after a US Navy patrol boat and helicopter were deployed to the location.
In June, three vessels controlled by the IRGC buzzed two American ships at what the US military called "dangerously high speed".
The Revolutionary Guard typically patrols the shallower waters of the Persian Gulf and its narrow mouth, the Strait of Hormuz.
One such incident in May of 2020 included a tense encounter between US and Iranian ships in the Persian Gulf.
The US military said at the time that 11 Revolutionary Guards naval vessels from the Guards navy came close to US Navy and coast guard ships in the Gulf, calling the moves "dangerous and provocative".

Three Iranian vessels buzz US ships in the Gulf
'Iran's harassment of vessels a threat to maritime security'
Iran's Revolutionary Guard acknowledged that the incident had taken place, but also claimed that it was American forces who sparked the incident.
In April of 2020, a spokesman for the Iranian Armed Forces said that the Islamic Republic will respond "severely" if US vessels violate its territorial waters.

Breitbart News Hits Record 240+ Million Pageviews, 37 Million Uniques in October
Breitbart News shattered company traffic records in October, generating over 240 million pageviews and 37 million unique visitors.
"While several publishers have enjoyed an uptick in traffic due to election coverage, we are proud to have built a massive and deeply-rooted community that will remain long after the election cycle fades," said Breitbart News CEO and President Larry Solov.
The conservative news giant's explosive October growth was powered by a host of newly launched initiatives, as well as its #1 in the world political Twitter and Facebook page that generated a monthly Facebook reach of over 287 million.
In the first half of the month, Breitbart launched its official Breitbart store featuring 31 original products. Two weeks after the store's launch, the news company debuted the launch of Breitbart Deals by offering complimentary Clinton Cash DVDs for the price of shipping and handling.
"We spent over a year developing the Breitbart store," said Breitbart News COO Jon Kahn. "Our vision was to go beyond just products to create a lifestyle brand and aesthetic worthy of our 37 million person community."
October also saw the expansion of Breitbart News' growing radio and podcast offerings. Two new podcasts feature the on-air talents of two of Breitbart's most well-known journalists, award-winning Second Amendment reporter Dr. AWR Hawkins and Breitbart London's always popular James Delingpole. Both shows are available on PodcastOne and iTunes.
Former ESPN broadcaster and three-time World Series Champion, MVP, Major League Baseball superstar Curt Schilling also joined Breitbart News Network as host of the Network's first online radio show, Whatever It Takes. The program airs Monday through Friday, 9:00 to 11:00 AM ET.
Beyond radio, Breitbart also launched its wildly popular fact-check feature during the third presidential debate in October. "Offering rapid-fire debate fact-checking helped propel Breitbart to the #1 most shared Facebook content in the world on debate day," said Breitbart News Managing Editor and Social Media Director Wynton Hall. "Our Facebook fans bested number two by over 150,000 Facebook shares."
Despite the explosive October metrics, Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow says it's one more benchmark in a traffic trajectory that continues to climb.
"When we relaunched the website in 2012, we were doing about 12 million pageviews a month," said Marlow. "To do exactly 20 times that figure last month feels pretty good. But we're just getting warmed up and can't wait to unveil some game-changing initiatives in 2017."

As much as I do appreciate seeing the first new lessons after more than 5 (five) months offline, I would like to know whether you will have some kind of introduction of the new hosts? And I would eagerly like to know how you will continue at all.
You see, after this long time of interruption and frustration, going back to regular business should be worth some words more than only sending the first video as nothing has happened.
I hope you enjoyed the new lesson. As you will see soon, there will be multiple new instructors, in a variety of lesson formats. We have not introduced our "new hosts" as we have not yet determined who are hosts are. We are striving to bring you the best language learning experinece, and are evaluating several teaching formats and lesson styles. We look forward to hearing everyone's feedback!
Thanks for continuing to be a ChinesePod subscriber!
I enjoyed the video and was a bit surprised at all the criticism it drew. It's been such a long drought since Fiona and Gwiliym (now producing original content at skritter.com) Constance and YuQin Cai, left last year, I was glad to see some new and very current topical material. (It's unfortunate that ChinesePod disabled the Skritter Lite writing practice for their lessons now before having a promised replacement ready, but maybe they now see Skritter as a competitor. That's unfortunate because the services are really complementary.) Anyway, I get the impression from the company comment above that this was sort of an audition tape for Elsha and Tam and that the CPod owners decided to "throw everything against the wall and see what sticks" but I would encourage further exploration and development of this type of lesson.
Yes, I know, the video had lots of errors. (when Elsha said "Cherrible" in reference to Chernobyl was that a mistake that the editors missed or a really bad attempt at a joke? Tam pronounces names two different ways when the video is trying to "reinforce" our learning, and from the captions we learn that Trump's full name is "Trump Trump". ("特朗普特朗普"))As to all the comments complaining about too much English, some of that can be resolved by re-classifying the lesson as "pre-Intermediate" (grin) and I do agree the political analysis not being what CPod is known for perhaps this bonus "lesson" within the lesson could have been left out, especially if not delivered in Mandarin. However, the format of a slowly read "news" story about the Iran nuclear deal with video images and captions is actually something I quite liked, and is a format that I hope CPod will repeat.
Overall I do like the video but the background music is just too distracting and annoying - which made me stop the video after 2 minutes.
Thank you JanTea for the info!
Weird energy and too much accent.
We've gotten other feedback on the amount of English, thank you for your thoughts!
I was wondering if in the advanced level it would be possible to have topics such as investments (infraestructure - PPP framework, agribusiness, renewable energy, power generation, electric transmission, automobile industry) and international trade (countries imports&exports, free trade agreements, China free trade zones, negotiations among countries about tariffs and insertion of new products, important trade fairs such as SIAL in Shanghai (May) or the new China International Import Expo which will take place in Shanghai (November).
These topics are quite technical and required plenty of time to develop decent material, but investments and trade are super hot topics and many of your advanced users might be interested. I would be the first on the list to subscribe again if these topics are covered.
Thanks in advance and kudos on the relaunch of Chinesepod!
Love the ideas and thank you for your input Mariano100!

Q: How do I connect to sqlplus in bash script without editing the tnsnames.ora file? I am trying to create a bash script to run an SQL query. The issue that I have is that the connection strings that I am using below is only giving me errors.
Example connection attempts with errors:
sqlplus -s username/password@hostname:Port:SID --> ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
sqlplus -s username/password@hostname:Port/SID --->  ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor

A: Example on my (local) XE database. Let's just check what TNSNAMES.ORA says (I obfuscated host name) so that you'd see what I used while connecting to the database. If you don't have TNSNAMES.ORA, then you'll have to find that info somehow (possibly by asking your DBA).
(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = my_host)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = XE)))

OK, let's try it now:

Report reveals 'yet another federal criminal investigation' into Hunter Biden after Joe Biden is confronted
'I'm proud of my son'

As the mainstream media are being denounced for squashing the Hunter Biden story before the election, Fox News reported Friday on the existence of "yet another federal criminal investigation" into Hunter Biden.
"We have just received word tonight of yet another federal criminal investigation into the Biden family that appears to be focused specifically on Hunter Biden's business dealings with China and his relationship with Burisma Holdings in Ukraine," Fox News host Martha MacCallum explained.
She added, "This is now the fourth federal investigation that has been reported in recent days."
"It raises a lot of questions about what was going on with Hunter Biden, with his uncle Jim [Biden], and potentially their U.S. and foreign business deals. Who was involved in them? What exactly were they selling? And why, in one instance, was a diamond given to Hunter Biden in return? Where did all the money go? And did they ever compromise themselves? Does China have anything they could hold over the Biden family?" MacCallum went on to say.
Fourth federal investigation into Hunter Biden revealed www.youtube.com
The New York Times reported late Friday that Pittsburgh-based U.S. Attorney Scott Brady began investigating Hunter Biden earlier this year upon the direction of Attorney General William Barr.
Details were few, aside from the Times reporting that the investigation was spurred by material uncovered by Rudy Giuliani and that the investigation was similar to a criminal probe into Hunter Biden that was concurrently taking place in Delaware.
From the Times:
As federal investigators in Delaware were examining the finances of Hunter Biden during his father's campaign for president, a similar inquiry ramped up this year in Pittsburgh, fueled by materials delivered by President Trump's personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani. Attorney General William P. Barr had asked the top federal prosecutor in Pittsburgh, Scott W. Brady, to accept and vet any information that Mr. Giuliani had on the Biden family, including Hunter Biden. Mr. Brady hosted Mr. Giuliani for a nearly four-hour meeting in late January to discuss his materials.
The development comes just two days after Hunter Biden publicly revealed that he is under federal investigation by authorities in Delaware.
"I learned yesterday for the first time that the U.S. Attorney's Office in Delaware advised my legal counsel, also yesterday, that they are investigating my tax affairs. I take this matter very seriously but I am confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors," Hunter Biden said in a statement, which was released by the Biden-Harris transition team.
What has Joe Biden said?
The former vice president was confronted on Friday about his son for the first time since news broke about the Delaware federal investigation.
"Did Hunter Biden commit a crime? Have you spoken to your son, Mr. President-elect?" a reporter asked Biden following a press conference.
Biden did not address the question directly, only responding, "I'm proud of my son."

Tågaborgstunneln, alternativt Norra tunneln, är arbetsnamnet på ett föreslaget järnvägsprojekt som skulle förbinda Helsingborgs centralstation (Knutpunkten) med Västkustbanan norrut mot Ängelholm vid Maria station som förordas av Helsingborgs kommun.

Projektet har ännu inte antagits eller beviljats statliga anslag och finns inte med i Trafikverkets investeringsplan (Nationella planen för transportsystemet) som sträcker sig fram till och med år 2025. I Trafikverkets förslag till investeringsplan för 2018-2029 finns projektet med.

Dagens spårförbindelse
I dagsläget går ett enkelspår i en klippskreva i Pålsjö skog. I centrala Helsingborg går banan bland bostadshus nära kusten, samt närmast centralstationen i den i huvudsak enkelspåriga Helsingborgstunneln (1 399 m lång).

Behovet av trafikökning bedöms vara stort och det, i princip, enda sättet att få dubbelspår är att bygga en tunnel under stadsdelen Tågaborg. Investeringskostnaderna bedöms dock vara omfattande.

Kommunal utredning
Efter en idéstudie om spårförbindelser beslutade Helsingborgs kommunfullmäktige den 26 april 2006 att kommunstyrelsen skulle "slutföra förhandlingar samt teckna avtal med Banverket om fortsatt planerings- och utredningsarbete" för tunneln samtidigt som man bemyndigade "kommunstyrelsen att förskottera erforderliga planerings- och utredningsmedel" till tunneln, vilket innebar att man förskotterade medel till Banverket för en förstudie.

Förstudien påbörjades 2008 och slutrapporten presenterades i november 2009. I den framförs bland annat att det kommer att bli viktigt att försöka att få till stånd en etapplösning för att förbättra kapaciteten fram tills dubbelspåret är fullt utbyggt och att en förlängning av Maria station till Romares väg bör göras och att Maria station bör byggas ut för nya funktioner och anpassas till den nya Mariastaden.

Kostnaderna för utredning av Tågaborgstunneln för perioden 2004 till 2007 uppgick till 14,3 miljoner kronor. Av dessa kostnader beräknades kommunens förskottering till Banverket för en förstudie till 4 miljoner kronor. De geotekniska undersökningarna på Tågaborg svarade för 5 miljoner kronor av kostnaderna.

Alternativ, dubbelspår i befintligt läge
En möjlighet vore att bredda den befintliga banan till dubbelspår där den går (det är cirka 5 km mellan Maria och Helsingborg C). Det har belyst i kommunens utredning, men den avvisar det huvudsakligen för att man vill ha bort järnvägens buller och barriäreffekt i ett attraktivt parkområde, inte utöka dessa problem genom dubbelspår. Det anses vara estetiskt opassande med bullerskärmar. Det skulle ge runt 2 minuter längre restid än vad Tågaborgstunneln skulle. Men det skulle troligen vara lägre byggkostnad även om kommunens utredning inte beräknat denna kostnad. Helsingborgstunneln i centrala Helsingborg måste hur som helst breddas (med betydande trafikstörningar, troligen perioder med stängning) eller en ny tunnel byggas.

David Jacks: The Man and His Reputation
From a poor family in Crieff, Scotland, David Jack was born on April 18,1822, and rose from an immigrant with no future to the greatest landowner in Central California, and one of California's greatest philanthropists.
David had five stepbrothers and one stepsister and one full sister, Christina, some years younger. David describes his early years in Crieff: "Worked in a woolen factory during my 12, 13, and 14 years. There were as near as I can recollect about twenty boys and girls. Commenced work at 6 in the morning and got to 9 to 10 o'clock for breakfast and 2 to 3 o'clock for dinner. Left off work for the day at 7 o'clock. Almost all the boys and girls were Sabbath School children."
David Jacks,
Autobiography,
Huntington Library Manuscript
He also describes his devotion to his faith:
"Became a Church member very young. Think it was a great benefit and good to me
in all after life because I had to remember and realize that the eye of God was always
upon me. Seeing whether I was true to my promises to him. And also remembering
that the eyes of the worlds' people were upon me, to see if I was true to my promise
to God when I became a Church member."
Raised at his mother's knee learning his catechism, David wanted to be a Presbyterian missionary by going to the East Indies to serve his faith. However, other factors intervened, and he left the family farm to join two of his step brothers in America.
David Jacks spent 59 years in Monterey and built a home and business for his family that lasted 112 years. Arriving in America in 1841, he worked for seven years in the New York area, including a stint at Fort Hamilton, where he met Robert E. Lee, and learned several trades. While working and living in the New York area, David states in his autobiography:
"Came to New York and Brooklyn, Long Island, early settled by the Dutch, became a
member of the Dutch Reformed Church, by my Church letter from my Presbyterian
Church in Scotland, and was very kindly treated by them from August 1841, to near
the end of 1848. Attended Sabbath School as a scholar and helped if needed as a
teacher, in the Dutch Reformed Church in Williamsburgh, which afterward became
part of Brooklyn. Then moved to Fort Hamilton and became a member of the Dutch
Reformed Church of New Utrecht. The Minister claimed to be half Dutch and half Scotch,
had to travel three and a half miles to church while living here. Was treated very
kindly by all people, and from time to time it was intimated that I might take one of
the daughters to wife and settle down for life."
After reading Rev. Walter Colton's description of California and the gold rush in the New York Herald in 1848, David ventured forth and sailed around the Cape to land in San Francisco that same year. With revolvers, jack knives, etc., in his pocket and the sense to sell them at a good price, he earned $4,000, became a naturalized citizen, and at some point, changed his name to Jacks for an unknown reason.
At the Presidio of San Francisco, David learned the business of customs and tax collection which would serve him well in Monterey. When business sent him to Monterey in 1850, David could not resist the siren song of a new life, beginning with his clerkship with James Boston at the Casa del Oro, and then with James McKinley, another Scot, for two years. Initially, David lived with the Boston family and enjoyed his home so much he wished to purchase it, and he did. He built a beautiful hacienda with eight bedrooms on the three acres next to the Presidio; from his hilltop home he could view all of his land as far as the eye could see.
Staying true to his religious life, David immediately made himself known to the Rev. Willey, who administered the Sabbath School in Monterey. Dr. T. L. Anderson and David continued the Sabbath School after Rev. Willey left. With David's money, the first Presbyterian Church, or David Jacks' Church, was established on July 8, 1883. Because of his dedication and commitment to the church, David was ordained and installed as an elder, one of three, on September 16, 1883. For a brief time, a second Presbyterian Church was established in the Pacific Hall Building, donated by David. The two churches united on April 4, 1900. David set up scholarships for theological seminary studies and gave generously to the churches in San Jose, Palo Alto, Watsonville and Boulder Creek, California.
With his sharp business acumen, David Jacks soon became the treasurer for Monterey and was involved in lending money to land-rich ranchers, who needed to pay taxes under the new American government. All the records show that he acquired his total of 100,000 acres legally. This is especially true for his greatest acquisition, the pueblo lands of Monterey. These lands were granted to the municipality of Monterey by the Mexican government in 1830. With all American acquisitions, it was necessary for all Mexican grants to be confirmed by the U.S. Lands Commission. City attorney, D.R. Ashley obtained confirmation for the town, but there was no money in the treasury to pay legal fees totaling $1,002.50. As a result, the lands had to be auctioned, and so on February 9, 1859, at 5:00 p.m. in front of the courthouse, David Jacks and Delos Ashley bid for the amount due and gained title of 30,000 acres of Monterey land. When the city decided to challenge this purchase, the case went to the U.S. Supreme Court, but after almost 20 years of argument, the Court ruled in Mr. Jacks' favor. As time passed and his children took over the control of his properties, much of the city land was gifted back. As H. H. Bancroft, the noted historian states, "Mr. Jacks came into possession of his estates, on the whole, by fair dealing through force of that good fortune, business judgement and character which are very generally admitted to be the birthright of the Scotch" (Noticias del Puerto de Monterey, March 1989).
In 1861 David Jacks married Maria Christina de la Soledad Romie in San Luis Obispo and they raised seven of nine children born to them. Jennie and Frederick Ernst died young. As parents, the Jacks raised their children to be industrious, virtuous, and religious. Schooling began with tutoring in the home, and then further studies in the finest universities in the country. This sound education and rearing prepared the children for their roles as directors for their father's corporation and started the eventual bequests and gifts which totaled millions of dollars. At one time, the David Jacks Corporation owned the lands of Monterey, Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, Fort Ord, and up to Moss Landing, and country extending from the Salinas River to Castroville to Salinas to Chualar and Gonzales on to Soledad. Parcels of land were also held in Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, Alameda, San Francisco, and Kern Counties (Mills Quarterly August 1987).
David used his land acquisitions to benefit all the citizens of Monterey. He became a treasurer for the company which built the narrow-gauge railroad between Salinas and Pacific Grove, and he personally invested $75,000 in the Monterey and Salinas Valley Railroad, and it was completed in 1874. After investing another $40,000 to keep the railroad running despite flooding and droughts, his efforts galvanized Charles Crocker and the Southern Pacific Railroad to enter the picture and build a regular railroad, which ultimately started the tourist business as San Franciscans traveled to Monterey to stay at the Del Monte Hotel, which became a world renown resort. David Jacks also sold the Pebble Beach properties to the Big Four: Mark Hopkins, Charles Crocker, Leland Stanford and Collis P. Huntington, who directed the Pacific Improvement Company. Samuel F. B. Morris was hired as CFO for the company, bought the Pebble Beach ranch lands from David Jacks and built the first Pebble Beach Lodge. In 2017 the tourist industry made 2.85 billion dollars for Monterey County.
In addition to his civic and business dealings, David Jacks was a very religious Presbyterian, and he attended the San Francisco Methodist Episcopal conference in San Francisco in May 1875. The elders convinced Mr. Jacks to lend his money and support to the area called Pacific Grove, where a seaside resort for holding annual camp meetings could be established. David advanced $30,000 to provide tents, cottages, furnishings, food and encouraged other businesses to invest in Pacific Grove. (Monterey Daily Cypress, Jan. 12, 1909). He also sold 100 acres to the retreat association for one dollar and influenced the Pacific Improvement Company to add more land for a nominal fee. The camp proved to be successful and Methodists from all over California attended these retreats. David sold 300 acres to the city at 1 dollar an acre. Pacific Grove is now a major destination for tourists from all over the world.
David Jacks spent a lifetime learning valuable trades and conducting business with the most influential men in California. He purchased the land that would ultimately be enjoyed by generations of Monterey citizens. From a small town of adobes and a port and a population of only 1,000, David Jacks built a railroad, supported a religious retreat, sold his land for worthwhile enterprises, and left his fortune to his wife and children, who, in Monterey County alone, gave to the state Casa del Oro, the Custom House, the old Pacific Building. Don Dahvee Park (Jacks' Mexican name), Jacks Ballpark, Washerwoman's Flats, Iris Canyon Park, Jacks Peak Park, the land for the Monterey Sports Center, and a recreational park area for Ryan Ranch, all major land gifts. The gifts to institutions such as Stanford, Mills College, the University of the Pacific and more are the legacy that reflects the generosity and love for California to which this pioneering family devoted their lives.
David Jacks died in January 11, 1909, at the age of 87. His legacy will serve many generations of the future.


I had to think back to my 'before romance reading days' to come up with something. I grabbed this book and packed it for him.
A week and half ago we had to have him at the camp by 9 am which meant we had to be on the road by 6 a.m. to make it there with no time to spare. *on a side note…the camp is located on the Oregon coast. The camp owns 2 miles of beach.* After we dropped him off we started heading home along the coastline.
We pulled into a small town and found a used bookstore because we needed something to listening to while passing the time in the car. We saw this book on audio cassette and bought it. Listening to it made me laugh because it had some cheesy music that transitioned the scenes. I'll be curious to see if my son will even read it. The last time I talked to him he had not even cracked the book open.
I'm sticking to my original rating because at the time I thought this book was the BOMB.

Breakfast In The City Of Fog and Souls – a short story from the same universe as A LATENT DARK
"I call him Munnin," Agatha said looking out the window. "The raven. Do you know your Norse mythology, traveler?"
"I was a young boy," I said, sipping from the cup of tea she had poured. "Most mythology escapes me nowadays."
We sat at a small, wobbly table, with a folded playing card under one foot to keep it level. The glass was fogged slightly from the steam off the tea and from her breath. Agatha was a small lady, polite to the very end. Her gray hair rested atop her head in a bun, held by a tarnished clip.
As far as lodging went, her house was suitable–certainly more than I expected to find in a city such as Rhinewall, with its Gothic spires and cold gray brick. I had hoped to avoid the place altogether, but the sun was setting and the fog had become so thick, I could hardly see my hand in front of my face. When the massive sea wall rose up out of nowhere, I had nearly banged into it, fishing rod, journeyman's pack and all.
"I call him Munnin because that was the raven of memory," she said after a long pause, the crashing of the surf distant and muted through the fog and glass.
The raven in question was a massive brute, the size of a hawk. If I had half a mind to bring my gun, and had seen it in the woods, it would have made a fine meal. Although I'd found crow to be a bit gamy in the past. It sat perched on a cobble wall, waiting for something.
"Every day," said Agatha. "Every day he sits there–"
A wheezing sound from the other room interrupted her, followed by a coughing fit. Agatha excused herself and stepped away and into the darkened hall. I continued to watch the huge black bird as it sat there.
Strange really, a crow that large in a populated area. Not half a block away, a man sat, feeding pigeons. Plenty of scratch for such a big bird. He could have scared off any of them and taken the whole feast for himself. But instead he continued to sit there, waiting.
Agatha scurried back into the nook and sat. she gave me a warm, apologetic smile, wrinkles creasing around her gray eyes. She sipped her tea and placed the cup down with the grace of an appraiser.
"Where were we?"
"Everyday, you said."
"Oh, yes," she continued. "He waits there all day long and then–oh look."
I leaned over to see beyond the window frame. A girl, no more than ten or eleven came into view. A street urchin, wearing a tattered coat and hat. She held out a bandaged hand to the bird.
When its wings unfolded I thought for a fleeting moment that it would simply snatch her up, carry her off to feed whatever monstrous brood it had in its nest. Instead, it hopped down to the ground–its head reached the girl's thigh–and stretched its neck out for her to pet.
"Isn't that something?" said Agatha. "He only lets her do that. Poor wretched thing."
"She's orphaned?"
"Oh, she had a father," said Agatha, but fell silent.
"Dead?"
"No…" she said and trailed off. "Not exactly."
I leaned back in my chair. "Not dead, then alive? Missing?"
"Oh, you could say he was missing."
"I imagine fishermen get lost all the time in these waters."
She gave me a reproachful look, her old eyes darting between me and the dark hallway. She sipped her tea and then seemed to consider me.
"Rhinewall used to be a lovely city, Mister…"
"Sam, please."
She nodded. "Sam, did you know we used to have a tulip festival in the spring?"
"It doesn't seem the suitable climate."
"Oh, I know. Men used to grow them in greenhouses, slaved over them for the festival. The children would tie the ribbon on a pole. There was music…" She trailed off for a moment. "You don't hear music anymore… same goes for the festivals."
Her features hardened as her eyes met mine. I saw for an instant a woman much younger, tougher, someone who had lost more than she wished to discuss.
"Because you need a soul to play music, to really play it… and to listen to it." She raised a gnarled hand to the glass and drew an upside-down U on the foggy glass. A hill, perhaps. "There," she said. "Farther than you can see in this fog. There are men in there who have stolen this city's memory, its soul."
Not sure how to answer, I sipped my tea, hoping she would elaborate. Normally, I would take bits of metaphor such as this as nothing but fable. Something in her voice told me there was more. Instead, her eyes fell to look at the street below.
"Every day,"she said again. "Every day that girl comes and talks to that raven."
"Munnin."
She nodded. "Although I'm sure that isn't his real name. She talks to it and it probably talks back. Then she goes off to the scrapyard and I don't see her again."
"Until the next time."
A sudden memory struck me and I sat upright. "Oh, Munnin," I said. "He was the raven who spoke to Odin."
She fixed her eyes on me and I realized that there was something I had missed before. Agatha had no fondness for the bird.
"Odin," she spat. "That bird talks to Hel herself."
"The girl?"
"No!" she nearly yelled, her eyes ablaze. I scooted back in my chair, startled by the sudden outrage in her voice "Hel, the goddess of the dead and damned. That raven is a harbinger, Sam, a harbinger of terrible things."
With shaking hands I reached for my tea and sipped, trying my hardest to show no fear. Eventually, Agatha calmed and sipped her own as if nothing had happened.
"I apologize," she said. "Ever since my Howard went away I've never been quite the same."
I looked into the darkened hallway, and then back at her. The expression on my face was all the question I needed to ask.
"Yes," she said.
"Isn't Howard…"
"Oh, that's his body alright," she said. "It wakes up and eats and coughs, but that isn't my Howard."
She stood and took me by the arm, walking in small shuffled steps. We went into the darkness and she opened the door. The man lay on a bed, molded to his back. He stared at the ceiling and beyond. He made no notice of our entrance.
"Howard," I said.
She shrugged. "If you can call him that."
The man's chest rose and fell. His skin was normal and healthy, his breathing regular.
"What's wrong with him?"
She closed the door again and led me to my room. At the door she rose up on her toes, placed her hands on my cheeks, cradling my face and kissed me. It wasn't the kind of kiss a grandmother would give, nor was it some vulgar young woman's kiss. It was more like a blessing.
"You are good to keep moving come the morning," she said. "I would hate to see them come for you."
"Why don't you come with me," I began to say, but Agatha pressed a finger to my lips.
"You are sweet, but I am old. And…" She looked toward Howard's room. "I think that soon Howard will be coming back. I can feel it. But this city… it is not for the living anymore."
When I returned to the window, both the raven and the girl were gone. I finished my tea, cleaned the cup and placed it on the rack. From the hallway I could hear Agatha's voice, low and calming, telling her secrets to a body that would never remember or understand the words.
The next morning I let myself out, not wishing to wake my hosts. I turned from the door and froze. The girl, her face shaded under a the worn cap, stood in the street, the raven on her shoulder, both of them looking at me. The girl, I realized, had only one good eye, the other was a milky white.
Neither of them followed me as I left the building, nor did they say anything as I walked, somewhat hurriedly down the street and out past the city walls. Just as they faded from my sight, I thought I heard the girl say, "His name is not Munnin."
Surprised at the closeness of her voice, I spun on my heel, too fast, and spilled the contents of my bag. As I scrambled to refill my bag, I looked for the source of the voice, but there was nothing, only fog.
