This summer, two Bowdoin students are, for the first time, inventorying all the contents in the Harpswell home of Arctic explorer Robert Peary. The meticulous work of Tharunkrishna Vemulapalli '19 and Dana Williams '18 will culminate in a museum catalog for the historical site.
While the work is deliberate, the setting is dramatic. From every open window of Robert Peary's bluff-side cottage on Eagle Island, you can hear seabirds crying and the tide pulling in and out over the beach or crashing onto rocks. All around the shingled house — one of just three structures on the 17-acre island — are panoramic views of Casco Bay.
Peary made his fame by reaching North Pole in 1909, an accomplishment that has been disputed. He bought the small almond-shaped island off the end of the Harpswell peninsula in 1881, four years after graduating from Bowdoin, and he built a family home there in 1904.

The Last of the Heath Hens: Special Collections Receives Grant to Preserve 1930s Ornithological Research
Alfred Otto Gross with Heath Hen, Martha's Vineyard, May 16, 1923
It's full circle moment for Edward Minot, the interim director of the Bowdoin Scientific Station on Kent Island.
Films documenting ornithological research done in the 1930s by his grandfather, Bowdoin professor of biology Alfred Otto Gross, Kent Island's first director, will be digitized and preserved, thanks to a grant Bowdoin's George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives has received from the National Film Preservation Foundation.
Minot discovered the 35 mm films, as well as several reels of 16 mm films, in his mother's attic.
A biologist and ornithologist like his grandfather, Minot immediately recognized the research potential and fragility of the films.
"After a lifetime of hearing about my grandfather's work with Heath Hens and his trips with MacMillan, it will be thrilling to see movies of the events for which I've had mostly an oral history and a few photographs," wrote Minot in an email from Kent Island.

Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum Celebrates Golden Anniversary (The Forecaster)
June 16, 2017 By Tom Porter Leave a Comment
Displays at the Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum put you in the Arctic, or at least in a facsimile of the garb worn by early explorers.
It's been fifty years since Bowdoin's Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum first opened its doors, and the College celebrated the milestone June 9, 2017, with a party that invited the public in for a look at current exhibitions and other displays.
"The way we've conceived of the whole celebration is looking forward and glancing back," says Susan Kaplan, the museum's director, in an article in The Forecaster, adding that more commemorative events will be scheduled throughout the year. "You really can't understand anything that's going on in the Arctic if you don't understand both the environmental and cultural context of what's going on." In case you missed it, check out a slideshow of images from the event in Bowdoin News.

December 5_STEM Students Learn from Former Nuggets Players
[ModuleInstance->Description]
You need at least version 7 of Flash player. Download latest version here!
Students at Colorado STEM Academy gathered for their first ever assembly last week where retired Nuggets' players Mark Randall and Ervin Johnson told them hard work is essential if they want to succeed.
Randall and Johnson opened up to the children, sharing stories of their experiences in life and education and how they came to be NBA players. In addition, students asked questions and shared their goals with the former Nuggets players. One student planned to become a doctor, another artist.
Randall graduated from Cherry Creek High School in 1986 and played four NBA seasons before joining the Nuggets as a team scout and coach. He has served as a Community Ambassador since 2003.
"You are at the age where you need to be proactive in your life; in your school, in your household, in your community and in your future," Randall told the students.
Johnson, who was born in New Orleans, played 13 years in the NBA. He began his career with the Seattle Supersonics and also played with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Milwaukee Bucks and the Nuggets. In 2003 he was presented with the NBA Community Assist Award for his commitment to helping others.
"You are all different and it's awesome," said Johnson. He told the students that no matter what the goal, hard work is the key to achieving it.
Both athletes encouraged the students to pursue higher education and their own dreams and goals, but most importantly, to be active in their education and community now to succeed later.

Per industry jargon, they are ground engaging tools. And what a selection. It can be a challenge determining your real needs when you are trying to decide what tractor attachments you want to buy for your grading, leveling, earthmoving and other applications like snow removal.
You want to avoid spending more than you need to. And you want to avoid, when you can, tying up money in attachments you may only use once or twice a year. But you do want tools that solve as many of your land care and grounds maintenance needs as possible. You want tractor attachments to be simple. Fortunately, there are four popular and widely available ground engaging tools each of which can go a long way towards helping you get more work out of your tractor. Top choices for grading, leveling, maintenance and more are rear blades, landscape rakes, box scrapers and grading scrapers.
Rear blades are the Swiss army knives of soil, debris and landscape management attachments. Rear blades are perhaps the most versatile 3-point-hitch mounted ground-engaging attachment, but performing rear blade tasks may require a little more attention and finesse from the operator. Rear blades, when operated properly by a practiced operator, can perform more tasks that other more specialized landscape equipment can accomplish. Adding to rear blade versatility, you can add optional end plates to morph the rear blade into more of an earthmover --- something like a box blade. Add an optional tail wheel to make it easier to keep the rear blade at a constant leveling height --- you make your tractor and rear blade combination into a type of road grader. Tilt and angle a rear blade to create a ditch or swale for water run-off management. Rear blades are very versatile and very popular for snow removal too.
Sure, landscape rakes can speed gathering rocks and roots when you are opening a new farm field, garden space or a new lawn. Some landscape rake users have success using them to rake heavy accumulations of Fall leaves off their lawns. Most of the time landscape rakes take on tasks on much more demanding than gathering up Fall's leaves. They are built to handle rocks and roots after all. You can rid a job site, pasture, or field of large sticks and rocks. Similar to rear blades, most landscape rakes can be angled to create windrows of the unwanted debris. Even add a tail wheel to keep your rake at a constant level until the job is completed, this is especially useful when performing a job in softer soil.
Box scrapers may not be a versatile as a rear blade but they still have many applications. Operated correctly box scrapers can accomplish some of the same tasks as rear blades, landscape rakes or grading scrapers. The box scraper height can be adjusted by the tractor operator using the 3-point hitch level control and you can use the height adjustable 3-point lift arm to tilt the box scraper. With a little practice using a box scraper can quickly result in a smooth leveled surface. Where box scrapers shine is at jobs that require moving considerable amounts of dirt, gravel, or any other material from one location to a distant, different location. Box scrapers are able to do this because their heavy-duty digging moldboard at the rear of the implement is fully enclosed on the ends. Therefore, box scrapers can carry the material until you choose the spot you want it to unload and you lift the box scraper with the 3 - point hitch. To add to their digging performance and versatility, box scrapers usually come with a set of scarifier shanks at the front of the box scraper that can to raised and lowered to help break up and loosen hard and compacted surfaces.
Grading scrapers are a bit more specialized tool, but you can smooth or level many types of ground for many purposes with a tool that is - by design -- an excellent and easy-to-use grader and leveler. If you have yards and yards or miles and miles of driveway, road or trail to maintain, a grading scraper needs to be seriously considered. Typical they have a gang of scarifier shanks near the front of the implement (like on most box scrapers). These are useful to rip into the toughest, hardest packed spots and provide loose material for the following scraping and leveling blades to spread, level and firm. A grading scraper on your tractor can be the fastest route to a smooth path, field or new lawn resembling that of a professional landscaper's handiwork. A grading scraper operating tip: if you happen to be attacking a pesky pothole, use your front shanks to dig down close to or even below the bottom of the pothole. That will free up enough loose material to completely fill in the pothole and make the entire driveway area smooth and more uniform.


The Isle of Man is a central location, perfect for those travelling to and from the UK. With miles of natural beauty, sandy beaches and rugged coastline, you can enjoy the island feeling without having to travel too far. There's a distinct feeling of timelessness as you explore all the heritage stretching back thousands of years, fortunately it's the 21st Century and that means your hair and make up doesn't have to be ancient.

The Law Reform Commission submits for public comment a discussion paper entitled "Trust Law Reform". Following upon recent developments in the law of trusts in other jurisdictions, the Law Reform Commission has been asked to consider to what extent the Trusts Law (2011 Revision) could benefit from amendment.
The Trusts (Amendment) Law, 2016 which is now in force deals principally with correcting inconsistencies in the transitional provisions of earlier trusts legislation and certain other matters falling within a fairly narrow compass. The review of the Law by the Commission is wider and the areas of trusts currently being examined to determine whether any reform is needed include the codification of the duties of trustees, the Hastings Bass rule, judicial and extra-judicial variation of trusts and the use of mediation and arbitration in trust disputes.

Last year my oldest daughter took an online Latin course through Memoria Press Online Academy and this year she continued with Latin, but for various reasons we decided to forego the online option and use the instructional DVDs with its corresponding texts instead during our homeschool day.
I thought I would give some of the pros and cons of each option in case someone was wondering which route to go when deciding about homeschool curriculum.
Like I mentioned, last year my daughter took an online Latin course. We decided to invest in the online course because I knew with having 4 other younger children, I would not have been able to focus on teaching her one on one. We thought having an online teacher would help keep my daughter motivated to do her assignments and quizzes and it would free me up with one less subject I would need to teach with her. The class she took, First Form Latin, met once a week for about 1.5 hours. The class was set up so students could see and hear the teacher and students could hear one another answer questions and recite vocabulary when the teacher called on them. The teacher then gave assignments from the workbook and students submitted online quizzes that the teacher graded and returned through an online grading system.
- even if you miss the scheduled live class time, your child can listen to the recorded class some other time during the week.
- your child is expected to keep up with the class schedule and assignments and the pace could be challenging and overwhelming for a child.
This year we decided not to register my daughter for another online Latin course and instead we thought it would be best if she learned the next Latin course, Second Form Latin, on her own with instructional DVDs and books that go with the DVDs. There are several reasons we did not register her for the online course option again: price, class availability didn't work with our schedule, and we thought our daughter had a good understanding of Latin to venture off on her own with the Second Form Latin course that included instructional DVDs provided by Rainbow Resource Center.
From Rainbow Resource Center, I received the Second Form Latin Complete Set in exchange for this review. The Set includes: Second Form Latin Workbook & Test Key, Teacher Manual, Flash Cards, Quizzes & Tests, Lesson Plans, Student Workbook, Instructional DVDs, Pronunciation CD and Student Text (not pictured).
- my daughter can learn the Latin course at her pace, taking time to review any material she may not understand.
- child has to be motivated and self-disciplined to pace herself and learn the Latin as best as she can with the help of the DVD.
-child can't learn from other students' questions and conversations like on the online course.
So far using the Second Form Latin Complete Set from Rainbow Resource Center has been going well for my daughter and our family. I think my daughter enjoys being able to set her own schedule and pace the most which makes learning Latin a bit more engaging for her.
Besides Rainbow Resource Center's great prices on the Second Form Latin Complete Set and a wide selection of other products whether a family homeschools or not, they also have free shipping on orders over $50! If you have seen their online catalog or printed catalog, then you know how easy it is to spend at least $50 in no time!
And don't just think about purchasing from Rainbow Resource Center for just your educational needs. They also have a terrific holiday catalog just in time for the Christmas/Gift giving season! Request a copy of their Holiday Catalog and they will mail you out one now so you can easily shop for all those on your gift list this year!
Rainbow Resource Center is definitely your one stop shop for curriculum, games, puzzles, toys, and gifts!

Crystal City just the latest addition to Amazon's sprawling Northern Virginia cloud operation

Just a few miles away from Amazon's proposed new headquarters in the soon-to-be created "National Landing" neighborhood split between Crystal City and Arlington, Va., sits what was already the most important Amazon location outside of Seattle.
Amazon announces HQ2 cities, splitting second headquarters as extraordinary contest concludes
Amazon Web Services was more or less born here in Northern Virginia, where the ground-breaking EC2 cloud computing service was first hosted. Much of the initial development work for the cloud services that changed the course of computing history was done in South Africa, but those services were put into production for the masses across several acres of data centers in the shadow of Dulles International Airport, about half an hour northwest from Crystal City.
As you might have noticed, Amazon is a rather secretive company, and does not disclose the exact location of its Northern Virginia data centers. But US East-1 is the largest and most important region in the company's cloud operation.
Facebook's Prineville, Ore. data center complex looms over Rt. 126. (GeekWire Photo / Tom Krazit)
Northern Virginia is home to some of the original cables installed by DARPA back in the 1960s and 70s to create the forerunner to the internet, and has long been a breeding ground for important government and commercial internet operations. Decades of investment in networks centered around the area make this location one of the most important crossroads of the physical internet.
AWS offers six availability zones in Northern Virginia, by far the most it offers in any one region. Availability zones help cloud customers spread their regional operating risk across separate buildings in case of a power outage at one, which means there are lots of massive data centers in and around the Northern Virginia suburbs of Herndon, Ashburn, and Manassas, Va.
US East-1 is also the creakiest region in the AWS arsenal; if something goes wrong with AWS, it's a pretty safe bet that a problem in US East-1 is to blame. It's likely in need of investment more than a decade after the first facilities were opened, and Amazon's plans to invest in the region will probably involve some tuneups for the most important part of its cloud engine.
While it didn't provide an exact location (surprising no one), AWS also announced Monday that the second GovCloud region it announced last year has come online. GovCloud regions are special collections of data centers that follow more stringent security rules and are accessible only by verified government employees or contractors, and the new facility was likely an important part of the AWS pitch to its new neighbors along the southern bank of the Potomac in Pentagon City and their $10 billion JEDI cloud contract.

ABOUT WITHOUT MERIT:
The Voss family is anything but normal. They live in a repurposed church, newly baptized Dollar Voss. The once cancer-stricken mother lives in the basement, the father is married to the mother's former nurse, the little half-brother isn't allowed to do or eat anything fun, and the eldest siblings are irritatingly perfect. Then, there's Merit.
Merit Voss collects trophies she hasn't earned and secrets her family forces her to keep. While browsing the local antiques shop for her next trophy, she finds Sagan. His wit and unapologetic idealism disarm and spark renewed life into her—until she discovers that he's completely unavailable. Merit retreats deeper into herself, watching her family from the sidelines, when she learns a secret that no trophy in the world can fix.
Fed up with the lies, Merit decides to shatter the happy family illusion that she's never been a part of before leaving them behind for good. When her escape plan fails, Merit is forced to deal with the staggering consequences of telling the truth and losing the one boy she loves.
Poignant and powerful, WITHOUT MERIT explores the layers of lies that tie a family together and the power of love.

Without Merit is one of the quirkiest yet one of the most human/compassion filled stories I have ever had the privilege of reading. Colleen Hoover has a wonderful way of shifting perspective and allowing readers to critically think about a range of issues. It allows the reader to step into the shoes of not only the protagonist, but also all of the characters you come to know and love in her novels. Without Merit tells the incredible story of a young woman who struggles to come to grips with her reality and all that has impacted her way of being. In true CoHo fashion I saw a lot of layers and complexities which is something I love most about her writing. I texted my sister immediately after I finished reading this book because I was in complete awe and needed to share it with someone. Her response was, "Colleen Hoover…geez man" she knew, she understood. That's all the response you ever need reading her novels. You don't quite realize the depth of the experience you will have when you commit to reading a Colleen Hoover novel, but I'd say you always know you will be in for one hell of a ride.
This novel comprised of one of the most peculiar dynamics I've ever encountered yet it fit and made sense. I laughed, I cried, I reflected and I devoured every word. One thing I love about her writing is she never fails to impress me with her ability to not only look at an individual in their context, but to get the reader to do the same. She discusses a few heavy and extremely relevant issues. Her worldview doesn't stay in one frame of reference, she takes a very human approach to what's happening in the world of each individual character and how their experiences have impacted and shaped them. She uses real world experiences and topics that I don't see many authors acknowledge. I admire that about this author and it was nice seeing someone who could have taken a stereotypical approach about topics use her platform to shed light on numerous issues.
On a serious note, this book is worth the read (as are all her novels). This one is unique and challenges the reader to look beyond the surface…to see a new perspective. I feel as though every book I read by this author turns into "my new favorite book." While I'll probably say the same for this one Colleen Hoover takes a very different turn with this novel, one that addresses serious topics, but also one that makes you reflect on your own family dynamics. This is 100000000% hands down a top recommendation as I believe everyone can benefit from reading this novel. I'd say the best way to describe the feelings I had after reading Without Merit is connected. I felt connected to every member of that quirky family in an unusual yet gratifying way. I craved more and while the reader will feel completely satiated by the end, it allowed me to hope for a future sequel. Wishful thinking, I know…please make it happen CoHo 😉

Book Blitz: Five by J.A. Huss
J.A. Huss
(Mister 0.5)
Five Aston has known Rory Shrike for as long as he can remember. He played with her in the sandbox. He went to every damn horse show just to be supportive. He helped her with her French, walked her home from school, and faked his test scores just to stay with her a little longer and not be sent off to college early.
But eventually he had to move on.
And so did she.
Never has a second chance meant so much to a boy who loves a girl.
A standalone book that is also a spin-off of the Rook & Ronin Series and prequel to the Mister Series. You can read it first, you can read it last. It doesn't really matter because it's f*cking Five.
"You want a kiss?"
"Mmmhmm," I say, closing my eyes as I picture it. God, I've dreamed of this moment for ages. "I really need one, Five."
His mouth touches my earlobe. Lips caress the soft skin of my neck. "Like this?" he asks.
"Yes," I practically moan. "Just… like… that."
"Do you want more, Princess?" he asks, his voice low now. Growly. Filled with so much promise.
"More, please," I say, in my sweetest princess voice.
"Then promise me, baby. Just say those two words. 'I promise.' And as soon as you do that, I'll give you everything you want. OK?"
"Five," I moan. "Just—"
His hands come up suddenly. He cups my face, stares into my eyes with the most sincere expression I've ever seen on him. And underneath that sincerity, I see… fear. "Promise me."
"Five," I say, unable to stop staring back. This is everything. Everything I've always dreamed of. Five pressing me up against a wall. Me, the only thing on his mind. Except I'm not the only thing on his mind, am I? No. Those creeps from the past are back. That's why he's here. And even though I'd normally not give in so easy, I know this is not a game. So I say, "I promise. Now stop talking, you stupid genius, and kiss me already."
He smiles. Leans in. I close my eyes, ready for it. Finally gonna get what I want.
But then he moves his mouth to my ear and nibbles on my lobe. "Good girl," he coos. "But I'm not sure I believe you, Princess. I can feel those wheels turning inside your head. They're grinding hard." He presses his hard cock against my hip when he says that last part. "So I'm gonna hold off on that kiss until I get back tonight. And if you've been good, and if you've held up your end of the—"
"What?" I say, pushing him back. "You will do no such thing, Five Aston! I want a fucking kiss and I want one right now! I've waited six years for this, and denying me is practically emotional abuse. Now stop fucking around and kiss me, goddammit!"
"Who's the boss of you, Rory?"
I huff out some air. "Me."
He smiles. It's a big, genuine, I'm-gonna-teach-you-who's-boss smile. "Wrong answer."

Ben Lawson is making a comeback…
After a few tabloid headlines, they think they know me. They don't know a damn thing. As CEO of a movie production company, I'll show them who I really am when we hit it big at the box office. My ex thought her smear tactics would ruin me, but I'm unbreakable. Rising from the debris, I swore I'd never let a woman distract me like that again. But then, my leading actress walked on the set and changed everything.
Seductive, sexy, and unapologetic, Aria Rose could break me. I wanted to help her, protect her…love her. Instead, I destroyed her.
Aria Rose is baring it all….
I knew better. I knew not to trust another Hollywood heartthrob with a reputation like his. He was my boss and became my ruin. I should have stayed far away from him. Ben Lawson promised me the world. He even promised me his heart.
But he destroyed everything–my heart, my career, us.
"Aria?" A deep voice cut through the crisp nighttime air.
She turned to see Ben approaching her, the shadows from the upper deck of the yacht moving across his face as he came closer. "Oh. Hi, Mr. Lawson."
"Please, like I said, call me Ben," he reiterated, leaning against the railing next to her.
"Right. Ben. Sorry, the last exec wasn't quite so…"
His lips curved into a smile. "So, what?"
She wasn't sure what to say, because her honest answer was sexy. That didn't seem like the best thing to a man who now funded and controlled her film. "Approachable?"
Ben laughed—a deep chuckle that she felt vibrate through her bones. "I hope that's a good thing."
"It definitely is," she assured him, placing a hand on his arm. The moment she touched him, she pulled back, immediately embarrassed.
He. Is. My. Boss. Get it together, Aria.
He didn't chide her, or look uncomfortable, which she took as a good sign.
Aria returned to her original position beside him, and they stared out at the darkened water lapping the sides of all the boats docked around.
"Want to hear something funny?" Aria finally broke the silence, but kept her voice low. So low, he had to lean in to hear her.
"My parents met in this very marina. She was a caterer and he was a deckhand—still teenagers. Barely old enough to know who they were, let alone what they wanted out of life. Still, they knew what love was when they stumbled upon it, and they knew enough to never let go." Aria's heart beat a little faster, warming at the memories.
"Wow. Are they still together?"
Aria nodded. "Barely spent a day apart since. My mother is actually my manager, and she works insanely hard for me, but my father always comes first. He's the love of her life."
"Love like that is special. Rare."
"Is it?" Aria tilted her head to the side. "I'm not sure it's as rare as it is a choice, a commitment, and the strength to follow through each and every day. There were times they could have given up—maybe lived an easier life with someone else—but they made a decision that this was the love they wanted, this was the life they wanted, and in that choice comes a confidence, a happiness, that most people deny themselves."
Ben was quiet for a minute. Finally, he inhaled loudly, then blew it out in one long breath. "That's really beautiful, Aria. Hits a bit close to home, I have to admit."
"I'm sorry." Aria frowned, turning to face him and just leaving one elbow on the railing. "I didn't mean—"
He shook his head. "No, it's fine. I just finished going through a divorce about six months ago, though we'd separated the year before that. I think you're right—love is a choice. Making love work is a choice. And yet…if it's not with the right person, then it's the wrong choice."
"Soul mates." Aria raised one brow. "You believe in that?"
Ben stared at her for a moment…a long moment. The kind of moment that made her shift her weight from one leg to the other, her skin heating under his gaze. "Yes. I believe in soul mates."
She tilted her chin up ever so slightly, going for lightheartedness. "Well, we all have our flaws. You couldn't be entirely perfect."
Ben laughed again. "Believing in soul mates is a flaw?"
"Buying what you're selling is definitely a flaw. You're a movie producer, so you sell fantasy to the world."
"I think we can have the fantasy." His eyes danced, but his smile was gone. "Don't you want the fantasy?"
Aria turned back to the ocean, looking out at the waves. This was too much, too real, too soon with a man she barely knew. A man who was pretty much her boss. "Who wouldn't want the fantasy?" she said dismissively. "Some would say I'm already living it."
"That's certainly true. Everyone on this yacht, everyone in this city…Hollywood. It's all a fantasy of some sort." Something in his tone sounded so…sad? A small ache pulled at her heart, and she felt like they'd opened the door to something different. Something different than studio exec and actress. Something more than strangers who just met today.
Her humanity connected to his, and they were just two people standing on a boat wishing it could float them away from their picture-perfect lives.
"Do you know why I love Scarlet's Letters?" she said softly, her voice barely above the whistle of the wind around them.
He stepped closer, his elbow pressed against hers on the railing now. "Why?"
"It's something I can be proud of. A story I'm proud to tell. The strength of a woman in wartime, a French woman saving innocent people during the Holocaust…a woman picking her truth over a man, over love. Have you read the script?"
Ben nodded. "I have. Two years ago, when it was making the rounds. It's powerful, and from what I've seen, you do an amazing job in it."
"Thank you. When I first saw this script—or rather, read the book it's based on—I knew I had to play this part. No matter what I had to give up. This was mine."
She'd never connected to anything more than she had this script. It was empowering, and taught courage in the toughest of circumstances. It was a tiny snapshot of a much larger scale event, showing the decisions and atrocities suffered at such a human, personal level. It was a woman denying her own privilege and luxury to help fellow humans who didn't have that reach.
"The way you talk about it…I'm jealous," Ben admitted.
That got Aria's attention, and she turned to face him. "Jealous? Of what?"
He pushed off the railing, looking up at the stars before settling on her gaze. "Passion. Excitement. Purpose. You know what you want. You know who you are and what your goals are."
"And you don't?" He had to be nearly thirty, if not over. Striking and fresh faced, but his features still said experience. Aria was only in her twenties, but at times she felt decades older.
Ben shook his head. "I thought I did. I built a life. Got married. Worked my way up in Maguire Industries. Everything was mapped out. Everything was…easy."
The ache from earlier was back, the sadness in his voice. Aria placed her hand on his forearm, a comforting gesture. Partly for him, but mostly for her. She needed a physical connection when they were connecting on so much more.
"What happened?" she pried, squeezing his arm ever so slightly.
Ben looked down at her hand, his eyes lingering. He didn't move or pull away, and when he lifted his head to face her again, there was a need in his eyes that made her insides heat. "The woman I trusted with all my secrets? She sold them to the highest bidder the moment I wasn't able to be a stepping stone for her career."
Aria didn't reply, sensing there was more.
"She used every connection she had to get me blacklisted. Took everything. Now Maguire Industries acquired Shepherd Films, expecting me to fail. Pushing me out."
"Not many would call being the CEO of a film studio a demotion," Aria pointed out.
"When you're used to being the landscaper, it's hard to become the rose."
Aria laughed, letting go of his arm. "First, soul mates. Now, roses. You're a poetic man, Ben Lawson. A true romantic."
Suddenly, his fingers intertwined with hers, pulling her to him. Pressing her body to his, chest to chest, heartbeat to heartbeat. His eyes never left hers, and she watched him wrestle with something…doubt, uncertainty. As if he didn't know why he'd just hugged her to him, but then need. Pure need darkened his eyes as something deeper pushed the rest away.
Her breath was lost as she concentrated on standing, her knees already threatening to buckle. She'd taken every second of the journey with him, and now she wanted more. Something about the way he smelled ignited every nerve ending in her body. The way he held her, one arm wrapped around her back, was so secure, so comfortable, so protective, so intimately. No one had ever held her like that in her entire life.
She didn't want him to let go.
He was fire. She wanted to leap into his flames.
"And what are you, Aria Rose?" Ben's fingers tipped her chin upward, her eyes finding his. "Who are you?"
The words rumbled in his chest, vibrating against him as he spoke. There was a genuineness to it that terrified her, unnerved her, and completely overwhelmed her. Their souls were laid bare and he was asking for more.
A perfect stranger. A moment of truth. An absolute mistake.
She couldn't do it. Her walls shot up and she let go of him, fear coursing through her. "I'm an actress, Mr. Lawson. Just an actress."
And just so much more.

The exhibition, entitled "The Body that Carries", included 50 sculptures created in the period from 1990 to the present time. Some works of art have been specially prepared for the master exhibitions to highlight the amazing architectural forms of the museum, which was designed by architect Frank Gehry.
Ernesto Neto became famous for his organic works of lung elastic materials. Many of them are filled with fragrant substances, so they hang and resemble the shape of water droplets. Individual sculptures he creates using soft materials and gigantic proportions, so that visitors could touch them and be "inside" exposure.
Ernesto Neto is rightly considered one of the leaders of the contemporary art scene in Brazil and now with his talent, colossal difficulty you will find and visit the Basque Country until May 18 this year.

← Invasion of the Tang Empire
The action you have requested is limited to users in the group: Administrators.
It was in dark winter days of early 905 TA that the dwarves stumbled upon the discovery of great stone ships - ancient relics from a long ago Age - tucked under the stones of Dwarrowdelf Castle. The recovery of four ships exacted a hefty price - the death of Dugald Axeworthy's son - in the docks below the dwarven capital. However, the ships provided the catalyst for a daring attack. A partially decoded message to the [[Tang Empire|Emperor]] alluded to an island poorly defended against a direct assault. ''I am compelled to inform my liege, however, that the Royal Navy has been delayed in returning to the Empire for its usual duty of protecting the homeland. A great storm - unbidden - could not be controlled and requires a delay of almost three months in the journey back from the Old Kingdom. No ships have been lost - only time. Until such a time as the 30 ships of the Royal Navy returns, our ground forces include only the 20 units of the Imperial Guard infantry and 2 ships. I humbly submit that your eminence spend the spring among the meadows of the Holy Mountains in retreat. The Three Kings have never dared set foot on the island, but care is needed at such a precarious time.'' ''Humbly'' ''Koto, First Admiral of the Fleet'' And so the decision was made to split the forces of the Reaches - filling the stone ships with a strike force of dwarves, elves, humans and gnomes. The defense of the Reaches was meager - mostly to fend off a Wolfshaunt attack. Undecoded, the first part of the message might have changed those plans. ''My Emperor'' ''The Lotus Navy - our Eastern Reaches strike armada - has weathered the winter storms of the Inner Sea along with our compatriots from Sandal. News of the revolt in Sandal has reached their ears of the Sandalese captains and crew. While a few grumbled to go home, most are more determined to exact revenge on the Three Kings. All here are ready to assist the Tomb Kingdom coming from the south and Wolfshaunt coming from the east. Our strike from the north of Dragonsford will undoubtedly surprise the Three Kings who have not seen this gambit before. By the end of 905, the Eastern Reaches and Dragonsford will be ours.'' Blood was drawn early by a massive battle between the Knights and the emerging forces from the Wolfshaunt. While the forces of good carried the day, the losses on both sides were staggering. Meanwhile the Tang Armada moved into position - easily sacking Dragonsford in April 905. Far to the South, the Dwarven Stone Ships deployed forces to sack the Grey Home on the Tang homeland while the knights sieged Nataka in April. Another major battle in late April in the Eastern Reaches saw the destruction of the Tomb Kingdom armies at the cost of almost all the knights of the Eastern Reaches. A lone trebuchet stood sentinel over the Wolfshaunt Pass. It was a bloody month. In essence, the race was between two unopposed invading armies - ships which literally passed in the night. May found the Tang sacking Wentworth Keep in the north while the Forces of Good sacked Whistling Winds Castle and Sakasu Castle in the South. This scene was repeated throughout the summer with the Tang claiming victories at East Gate Tower, Markinghamshire Castle, and Portsmouth. However, the Dwarves and Knights met their objectives in taking Kawa, Tama Castle, and Akkaben. In late September, the Tang Emperor called for surrender negotiations. With the Eastern Reaches under Tang control, some hope for a hostage exchange exists.

Configuring Phabricator to use multiple daemon hosts.
worker queue throughput may improve.
Since repository hosts must run daemons anyway, you usually do not need to do any additional work and can skip this entirely if you have already configured multiple repository hosts.
After configuring repositories for clustering, launch daemons on every repository host according to the documentation in Cluster: Repositories. These daemons are necessary: repositories will not fetch, update, or synchronize properly without them.
If your repository clustering is redundant (you have at least two repository hosts), these daemons are also likely to be sufficient in most cases. If you want to launch additional hosts anyway (for example, to increase queue capacity for unusual workloads), see "Dedicated Daemon Hosts" below.
You can launch additional daemon hosts without any special configuration. Daemon hosts must be able to reach other hosts on the network, but do not need to run any services (like HTTP or SSH). Simply deploy the Phabricator software and configuration and start the daemons.
Normally, there is little reason to deploy dedicated daemon hosts. They can improve queue capacity, but generally do not improve availability or increase resistance to data loss on their own. Instead, consider deploying more repository hosts: repository hosts run daemons, so this will increase queue capacity but also improve repository availability and cluster resistance.
configuring repositories first with Cluster: Repositories.

1837 - In the year that Henry Alden was born, on June 20th, 18-year-old Queen Victoria became the Queen of the United Kingdom upon the death of her uncle William IV - who had died without legitimate heirs. She would reign for more than 63 years, the longest reign of an English monarch until Queen Elizabeth II. Thus began what would be called the "Victorian Era."
1853 - At the age of 16 years old, Henry was alive when on March 4th, Franklin Pierce became the 14th President of the United States. His son had been killed in a train accident that also involved Pierce and his wife on January 6 - the only of 3 sons to survive until then. Due to the resultant depression and his unpopular policies, he was not re-nominated for President and served only one term.
1856 - At the age of 19 years old, Henry was alive when on February 18th, The American Party, also called the "Know-Nothings" because they were an anti-Catholic and anti-immigrant movement, assembled in Philadelphia to nominate their first Presidential candidate, former President Millard Fillmore.

1914 - He was 77 years old when in August, the Panama Canal opened to traffic. Begun by the French in the 1880's and abandoned, the United States undertook further construction in 1904. After 10 years, and the elimination of malaria carrying mosquitoes (which caused immense delays for the French and the Americans), the 48 mile long artificial waterway - a series of locks - created a shortcut for ships traveling between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
1919 - In the year of Henry Alden's passing, in the summer and early autumn, race riots erupted in 26 U.S. cities, resulting in hundreds of deaths and even more people being badly hurt. In most cases, African-Americans were the victims. It was called the "Red Summer". Men who were returning from World War I needed jobs and there was competition for those jobs among the races. Tension was heightened by the use by many companies of blacks as strikebreakers.
