Book Review: The Summer Prince by Alaya Dawn Johnson
This is a review a long time in coming, but it's one that had to be done because I think this book is surprising in how complex and ambitious it is - and how well it pulls it off! Lucky for you, it's been out since the beginning of March. Get reading!
THE SUMMER PRINCE by Alaya Dawn Johnson
Disclaimer: Received an e-ARC from publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
PROS: Superb world-building; complex characters; deep themes
CONS: Plot pacing / set-up; meandering First Act
Intellectual Rating: 8 out of 10
Emotional Grade: A-
Book Blurb (from goodreads): A heart-stopping story of love, death, technology, and art set amid the tropics of a futuristic Brazil.
The lush city of Palmares Três shimmers with tech and tradition, with screaming gossip casters and practiced politicians. In the midst of this vibrant metropolis, June Costa creates art that's sure to make her legendary. But her dreams of fame become something more when she meets Enki, the bold new Summer King. The whole city falls in love with him (including June's best friend, Gil). But June sees more to Enki than amber eyes and a lethal samba. She sees a fellow artist.
Together, June and Enki will stage explosive, dramatic projects that Palmares Três will never forget. They will add fuel to a growing rebellion against the government's strict limits on new tech. And June will fall deeply, unfortunately in love with Enki. Because like all Summer Kings before him, Enki is destined to die.
Pulsing with the beat of futuristic Brazil, burning with the passions of its characters, and overflowing with ideas, this fiery novel will leave you eager for more from Alaya Dawn Johnson.
It has been over a month since I finished reading this book and I've been trying to think of a way to coherently review it since. This book is ambitious, complex, and challenging and I find I'm still not up to the task of describing what exactly about this book made it leave such a strong impression on me.
The story is set in breathtaking post-apocalyptic, futuristic Brazil. June's Palmares Três is a vibrant blend of future-tech, new government, and old tradition. It's a study in contrasts: a shining city in a war-ravaged landscape; a progressive society where gender-identity and sexuality is fluid and women rule but where the status quo of the upper class is protected and tradition still holds importance; a once-utopia that was nevertheless built on blood sacrifice and maintains the separation of rich and poor in the city's tiered structure. It was wonderful learning about Palmares Três through June's eyes because it is a city she loves and one she begins to truly understand over the course of the book.
From the potent stench of the Verde to the blue of the sea to the little lights glowing under June's skin, the descriptions are lush and vivid, completely immersing you in the world. The worldbuilding is logically threaded through the society and the characters. For example, Palmares Três is governed under a matriarchy and has been for centuries. As a result, gender roles are switched: June remarks that she never cries, but that it was okay for her male friend Gil to do so because that's expected.
The characters are also complex, interesting beings. Our heroine June is hard to like but that's because she's a multifaceted teenager going through a huge transformation in her life. She's artistic, talented, confident, ambitious, brave, selfish, judgmental, a bit of a loner, and it soon becomes clear (even to her) that she's a little naive and immature. Her relationship with her mother was particularly interesting to me because the rift between them was so heartbreaking and frustrating, but you can see why both women can't find a middle ground, that they are both grieving in their own ways. I also really liked June's rival Bebel, who proves that first impressions are not always accurate. Enki, the titular Summer Prince, is mysterious and charismatic. He might even have been a little too inscrutable, but it played into the dynamic, catalyst-type character that he is, and it was appropriate because of what he stood for.
I'm a sucker for books that do a good job playing with and exploring their themes without being heavy-handed about it. The Summer Prince has themes in spades - not least of which is the struggle between the young and old, the price of progress, life and death, and the nature of love and art.
At its core, the book is about June's coming of age and her dawning understanding of her place in the world and what she desires from her world. This character arc is all beautifully wrapped up in the exploration of art as a theme - art as self expression, emotion, transgression, propaganda, reflection, a vehicle for change. Through June and her art, we learn not just about her personal history but the history of her jeweled city, and through art, June discovers her own power to be influential and inspirational, her ability to see past her narrow, personal sphere.
The plot on all levels turns on acts of art, and these themes about life as art and art as this living, untamed thing are so deftly pulled through the narrative that the climax left me breathless. Though I had a few issues with the plot part of the book, this scene was still so incredibly powerful because it encapsulated so many of the themes the book built. It also perfectly bookends the opening and closing of the book and makes a poignant point about symbols and sacrifice. I'm getting fluttery just mentioning it.
Cons: Plot pacing & set-up
The only thing that kept me from rating this book higher is the pacing and set-up for the plot. I loved all the worldbuilding and character stuff, but for a good while in the beginning, it is unclear where exactly the book is going. Interesting and intriguing clues are dropped, but the thread could have been a little clearer. The major plot-conflict that comes into play could also have done with better set-up. It's clear in the text that a conflict is brewing, but it was a surprise to me what subject the conflict actually sparked on. I also would have liked a little more fleshing out from some of the supporting characters, but this is a very small nitpick as the book is really focused on June and Enki.
Conclusion: In short, I think anyone looking for something a bit outside the mainstream YA offerings should pick this up. This is a book full of layers to peel back, a book that is both thoughtful and thought-provoking, and it is so emotionally rich. And the fact that it's set in Brazil (why aren't there more novels set in this gorgeous, intriguing place?) and stars a nuanced and diverse cast is a big plus. It's a messy, beautiful book about a messy, beautiful world and the people in it.

I have a kipor kge5500ed generator.It's giving me the error E-05. Can you tell me what could be wrong?I'm guessing the oil pressure could be low. So can you tell me the right amount of oil needed?
I have a Kipor IS6000 generator that drains fuel from the plastic tube on the back side of the carborator when the generator is running. What can be the cause?
check for a small fracture on the tubing caused from age and flexing from vibration. It is usually right where the tubing comes off the carburetor.

Q: How to make a popover clickable inside window without closing it but close with outside click How can I make my popover window clickable inside the window area  without closing but closes automatically whem outside the are is clicked?
Here is my current code that is trigured with a button click:
if (response.Success) {
  return showErrorPopup(errorButton, 'Error!', response.Entity.Exception);
} else {
  return showErrorPopup(errorButton, 'No Error', response.Message);
}

And the function that opens the popover window:
showErrorPopup = function(popupElem, title, content) {
  return popupElem.popover({
      animation: false,
      title: title,
      content: content,
      placement: 'left',
      trigger: 'focus',
      html: true
  }).popover('show');
};

Iv tried trigger: 'click' and that allows the popover window to remain open but doesn't close it automatically when clicked outside of the window.

A: To determine a click outside, have you tried to use
$('.popupclass').blur(function () {
   $(this).hide();
}

Blur event is when user removes the focus (a mouse click or a tab focus can be the main reason for the focus) from the element.

A: Jquery popups usually add a div with 100% window's width and height between the popup and the page. So when user click outside the popup - actually click the div - it closes the popup. I believe this logic could be applied here.

Yesterday, Free Fiction Daily up and decided to make me their feature article and put the one from the day before above "the fold". Just. Two of my stories right there on the attention-grabbing part of the page. No scrolling down, just -boom- there.
One day, I might just have more notice than that, but it's my current high point. I love it.
I am having so much fun with the D&D game and I want to share it, but my previous efforts to storify my last adventures turned out lackluster. It might have to turn up on Tumblr as a bullet-point story.
It's pretty hilarious already and we're three sessions in.
But first - I gotta do a money run which means (ugh) getting dressed and going outside. Bluh.

fig tree of the wines
Sep.8,2012
The charms of your local tiny town can be easily trampled underfoot while pursuing the routine errands of an ordinary Thursday. But if you do stop to look, you might be lucky enough to find a town as mildly amusing as Figueiró dos Vinhos.
Fig Tree of the Wines (adhering to the regional tradition of meaningless place names; see Chestnut Tree of the Pear) has forever been some sort of village, probably owing to the confluence of rivers, good soil and happy climate. It has had the Fig-something name since the 13th century, making it almost as old as Portugal itself. It had something of a boom during the 17th century, when it was a iron smelting centre. The remains of the smelters (check out this excellent collection of old pics) along the banks of the Foz de Alge are still there, drowned in the risen waters of dammed junction of the Rivers Zêzere and Alge.
The villages around the Foz de Alge look like they haven't changed since then. Apart from a few specs of ugly modern development, this is still a very remote and poor place. It's surprising that this was a hub of industry even up until the 20th century. The iron business in Portugal was introduced by the Muslims, who invented the geared and hydropowered mills that were needed to hammer the metal from one form to another. Here at the Foz de Alge and at the fishing spot of Machuca (in the north of the Concelho) there was both the flow of water and the forest of trees required to make charcoal for the iron's furnaces. You can still see the wealth of iron ore in the earth when passing the magenta-coloured roadworks for the new IC2.
Figueiró (pronounced Figaro, of Marriage and Mozart fame) briefly became an art-world mecca in the 20th century when painter José Malhoa brought his entourage and set up a Naturalist school in town. Despite the style having already peaked in Paris just as he was getting started, Malhoa nonetheless had been famous in Portugal for about 20 years before settling in the Fig de Vin. His school sheltered a small bunch of widely known and respected artists, by Portuguese standards anyway. He left behind the fanciest house in town.
A better museum to the era in my mind anyway is a little tiled cafe-bar that's now for sale. I went there once, on the day I bought my house. My head was reeling and I drank a couple of ports and chatted to the owners. The pastoral azulejos and timber furniture are so classic Portuguese that I hate to think what will happen to the place if it goes to the wrong people. Tea room, someone?
The Estado Novo was good to Figueiró Vinhos. It developed during the mid 20th century, probably in the wake of Castanheira de Pera, where the factories were closing and the money going elsewhere. Typically of Central Portugal, people left in droves during the 70's, and despite the influx of foreigners here to lap up the calm, the quiet and the cheap, the population of Figueiró decreases a little every year.
But not on market days. Figueiró has the best market around. It's huge, and properly balanced between home-grown-free-range and festa de polyester. I like the 50 metre strip devoted to older locals and their farmyard produce. And wookie likes the all the chicks and ducklings.
Probably I like Figueiró dos Vinhos because it does good cake. There's a old factory devoted to the worship of Pão de Ló, which… I've never tried. Tsk. But it's a very serious looking little side street establishment that only the locals would know and therefore their sponge cake must be out of this world. Every year Figueiró has a cake-fest held in the town's closed-silent-poor-and-shoeless carmelite convent, the church of which is unbelievably gorgeous. The cloister is also remarkable having been sliced on the diagonal by a ginormous wall in a sell-up of half the convent's property. Tsk. On the final matter of cake, my favourite place in Figueiró is still the paved courtyard behind the câmara and in front of an unassuming little cafe called Pingo Doce. The pastéis de nata there are the best outside of Belém.
Your local tiny town will never engraciate itself to you unless it has a couple of decent places to eat. We have three. Which is a lot when you consider how bored we are with the monoculture of Portuguese food and that this here really is, to coin the Australian term, the boonies. Restaurant number one is the restaurant at the prize pony Schist village Casal de São Simão, A Varanda. It is great. Local and seasonal, authentic but not predictable, it's a really nice space and not overpriced. Number two is your family-run fluoro lights and TV type place which serves massive helpings fast and the bill always looks like there's been a mistake in your favour. Except here the food is way better than you expect and their specialty is a superb prawn curry. It's called A Tricana. The third fav is Restaurante Paris and is half way between the two, with standards done well in a nice enough environment. It's not pretending to be fancy, just like Figueiró itself.

I have a serious problem with missing flights. Even though The One can make me get to the airport on time, I can still manage not to get on the plane. One theory could be that because I've flown a lot, I'm lackadaisical. But I think it's more serious than that. Firstly I think I might have a pathological fear of waiting at the gate, and secondly, in this case, missing the flight rather obtusely expressed the fact that I didn't want to go.
I'm off to Sydney for work. My Portuguese neighbours see it as the sad but necessary eventuality of a peasant's life, where one member of the family leaves the bosom to find work in the New World. I find their point of view comforting. Far better than the grim admission that something has gone terribly wrong with the status quo, with Portugal and with my whole entire life which has led to this drastic upheaval and my new identity as an economic refugee.
No, The One isn't coming too. No, I don't know how long I'll be away. No, I don't have a job lined up yet.
Lest we forget this is the plight of hundreds of thousands of people across the world today. Only most of them are prevented by immigration laws that discriminate against people leaving home to just to improve their lot. To compare mine with theirs just makes me look greedy. All I want is to be free from worry, not from hunger. Boatloads of people are drowning off the coast of Australia because of the extremes they are forced to take to feed their families. And I complain about economy class.
Indeed with one last brave flash of the credit card I made it out alive, reassured in my physical fitness as I made the 22km sprint from one end of Heathrow to the other in half the advertised time. I am now privy to the lesser known fact that gate 43a at Lisbon is actually located in the Algarve somewhere. I know that the people at the Vueling desk are helpful and the British Airways not. Sensible shoes and a backpack is my advice to anyone susceptible to flight tardiness. These simple props can stop a big problem from becoming a catastrophe. And watching a lot of action movies the day before you fly so you can channel some stunt girl energy and attitude – better to look like you are an undercover ag chasing bad guys than a teary middle-aged tragic who just fucked up final call by hanging around the MAC counter too long.
Don't expect me to talk up Sydney like it's a joyride. It could be raining money here (of course it's not raining anything. It's winter and 22 degrees and gorgeously sunny) and I'd still be miserable because where I want to be is at home, curled up with The One.
There are some amusements, I admit. The biggest of which is choking on the extraordinary cost of things, for instance. Coffee $4.50. So, a coffee, cake and loaf of bread? That'll be $16.00. I was looking forward to eating some quality beef and lamb but at $45 a kilo I think I'll become a vegetarian. And let's not talk about wine, which I have most definitely given up.
Of course what I am here for are the higher wages. Minimum wage is about $21/hr and the average wage is around $1200 a week. That's (at least) four times higher than in Portugal. So it's no wonder then the coffee cups are lined with gold.
On other visits I've felt like the dark side to all this affluence was apparent in how stressed out everyone was, but this time I'm impressed by the friendliness of the place. Everyone is polite, cheery and overtly respectful of your personal space (which I've always thought of as a uniquely Australian character, given the vastness of this land).
I am delighted to be surrounded by noodles and bok choy. To have ten cuisines of the world clustered together on the same street corner and to hear a different language being spoken at every cafe table. Sydney is multiculturalism at its best.
Still, the noise and traffic and technology have my head spinning. I'm awkward in the unfamiliarity of urban life. I can't work an ipad, I struggle to figure out the train ticket machines. I'm a country bumpkin, so messy and unstylish. I'm a fish out of water.
So no matter how intoxicating Sydney might become, I know I'll always be on the lookout for nice flights to Portugal. As they say, home is where the heart is.
In the meantime, I'll settle into being Aunty Emsy-Poo-Poo again. And a daughter, and the youngest sister. Family. And old friends. Again, I should feel blessed that this is the refuge for this refugee. Imagine being unwelcome?
the bacalhau conversion
Posting about bacalhau on your Portugal blog1 is about as original a subject as beaches of the Algarve. It's lame. It's beginner's guide. But I'm not going to tell you how great cod is, I'm not going to write about how we should stop eating this vulnerable fish, nor attempt to explain the Portuguese obsession with it. Except to say, in case you don't know, bacalhau is an fundamental ingredient of the Portuguese condition.
Bacalhau is not fish, my friend Isabel says. It's altogether another food group.
And because this dried cod beast is so in your face – stinking out the supermarket, on every single restaurant menu, huge flanks of it at the Saturday market, plain boiled, served with cabbage and put in front of you to eat at Christmas – it rather polarises people.
The One hates bacalhau.
But I don't mind it. I like how you can use it as kitchen decoration for a month while working up an appetite for it.
So I decided to see if I could change The One's mind. He has a few food foibles that he carries with him from childhood, as you do, but if I ignore his claims against aubergine (for example) and do something tasty and discreet he scoffs it down like he never really knew what an aubergine was.
A riskier mission with bacalhau. It looks like a big flaky white fish. It tastes like a big salty flaky white fish.
Plan One. I'll call it fish and chips! His favourite!
Comments? "I hate Bacalhau".
Result? Fail.
So in the next recipe I disguised it better. Shredded, mixed in a bowl with mash potato, rice, lemon, garlic & herbs, and then rolled into balls and fried. Fish cakes, we call them. But more like arancini than patansicas.
Comments? "Salty. Have they got bacalhau in them?"
Next I went for a radical cultural departure and made a Thai style soup. A tom yam soup base, with red chillies, lemongrass, lime and coriander, then loads of garlic, shredded carrot & red pepper, onion, chunks of fish, vermicelli noodles, bean shoots and topped with sliced cabbage.
Comment? "I like the soup, as always. But the fish totally spoils it."
Perhaps bacalhau shouldn't be used out of context then? Maybe the Portuguese like it so much because they've mastered it? Fancy that?
My friend Eric spontaneously announced his latest favourite weekly staple – bacalhau a bras! I'd heard of this thing but never known what it was, and by Eric's reckoning, it's an easy, yummy, one pan meal that a bloke would like. A couple of days of fish soaking later and I'm onto it.
Make French fries, as thin as you can, and violently deep fry them while trying to keep them from turning into hash cakes. Drain most of the oil from the pan and throw in onion and garlic and chunks or shreds of fish – however boneless – then beat up some eggs with cream, pepper and parsley, turn down the heat and throw them in the pan, followed by half of the fries. Turn it over once or twice then dish it up with more fries, some lemon wedges and, if you have an English husband to convince, one with a dubious culinary history, a splodge of tomato sauce on the side.
Comments: "Mmmmm this is goooood!"
I wait until he has cleaned the plate before telling him about the bacalhau element.
"I liked it anyway."
"So it's a pass?"
"Is there any more?"
Result? Pass!
Yay… it can be done! I decide I should cement this victory with another attempt. This time I go back to the English (where I started and failed) and select a recipe from Jamie Oliver.
It's just a simple pan fried fillet in butter, with garlic, capers, coriander, parsley and dill.
Comment? "Yum. You can do that again."
"It was bacalhau".
"I know. It's ok. I like it like that."
Result? Converted!
1 The Bacalhau Chronicles is completely exempt from these comments. This is a blog only about bacalhau. And that makes it ok 🙂

the grand opening of the hallway
Ta-dah!
Since I've just spent 6 months holed up in a four-square-metre passage, I think you all owe me 6 minutes to read all about it in its painstaking detail.
Oh yes this blog has arrived at help-me-pick-my-tiles and let-me-talk-you-through-the-completely-boring-minutiae-of-my-DIY-renovation-fix-up-dream-home wank.
Excellent! Let's go!
First, I'll disappoint the reader by saying it's actually not finished yet. That's right, because DIY Dream Home House Project Fantasies never are. I was saving a bit of the budget for a big fat shiny new digital TV, me being news deprived for four years now, but dang world events! the hallway comes first! Useful ikea cupboard instead. Haven't bought it yet so here's some dodgy photoshop work. Time to phone in with your votes!
The Floor. Fabulous darlings isn't it? This floor was first laid by our dear woofers, with flagstones found under the cement floor in a lean-to which houses the stone oven. But then we ripped it up again because the grading wasn't right and laid it anew and in doing so stuffed up the entrance to the bathroom, and now The One can't fit through the door without using his hands and knees. Yay.
Just so you know everything, beneath the floor is some hideous blue board and a chunky layer of limecrete with maltesers. Oh and probably a damp proof course. It was so long ago I can't remember. Anyway, after being laid the floor subsequently endured splashes of cement render, lime render, limewash, plaster, paint, cat vomit, a smashed jar of pesto and a whole lot of dirty doggy footprints. So last week I spent three days and two bottles of ácido muriático (which doesn't sound nearly as bad as hydrochloric acid) scrubbing it all off.
Also during those wire brush days I cleaned up this nice bit above the door which got roughed up when Penfold replaced the roof, last year sometime. So it's been re-pointed in lime and the stone faces revealed using the Michelle Obama / Linda Hamilton arm workout video. While high on hydro gases I cleaned the timber with acid too and made the new pointing all dirty. The One didn't know this was actually a mistake, and he complimented this accidental aging patina effect. And he's right, it's bloody lovely.
The Walls. I quite realise that six months seems a rather long time to spend on 4m2 (extrapolated this means the house will take another 5 years to finish) but there were these problems with the walls not being straight. This wall on the right is a brick wall I built myself, leaving me mystified why one face can be perfectly flush and the other not. Some time in the early months of year were dedicated to cement rendering both sides, the top bit being a bit fiddly as it been broken down and re-mortared a few times in the pursuit of electricity. I love rendering almost as much as plastering, although it does something weird to your brain. So fixated you become on smoothness that even one tiny rumple possesses me to do another coat. It's not a job that manic perfectionists should be doing. It's a bit like crack. Almost as soon as you've downed your tools you get the urge for more.
The entranceway needed radical rendering. It's the doorway to the oldest part of the house, built in rough stone, a bit settled and as wavy as praia das rocas. It wasn't working well for my obsessive compulsive need for straight lines and geometry. But after four weeks and 17 coats of lime render she's lovely. Not sharp, but vertical and with all the nougat-ness that lime brings. Limewash over lime render looks dense and soft. I love it.
The entrance also needed a step so I knocked that up with leftover floorboards. Something went wrong with our new floor. We decided on oiling it with linseed but it never sealed properly and now we have a very dirty floor, which going by the 4:6 formula it will take three weeks to clean. So we've decided to stain and varnish it. Controversial, certainly, but one dog two cats building site practical. And this is the colour. No, there's nothing to vote on here. Don't phone in. It's done.
The other wall wasn't a big deal. So in between blogging, feeding the people, putting out the washing and taking pictures of cake I put up a timber frame, insulation and plasterboard and then plastered my way to bliss.
Picked up a dandy shoe cupboard from the Swedes and knocked that up in world record time, another thing I totally love. These days budget ikea may be as disposable as ever but the middle class stuff is superb. It fits, it works and in outback Portugal no one has seen it before.
The ceiling had been put up last year but still needed several weeks of plastering sanding painting filling sanding and painting. Bloody ceilings, we should just dispense with them altogether. Only where would the possums live, possums?
Bathroom door. The magnificent bathroom door has been covered in earlier publications but I still had to frame it up and hang the bitch. Never have I had so much agony as I have hanging every door and window in this house. It's primarily the fault of the age of the doors and not being perfectly straight but I swear there is something wrong with the hinges I'm buying. Finally, after umpteen minor adjustments she swings and shuts. Mao just can't get enough of it. He cries to be let in and then cries to be let out. I think he thinks there's a very handsome burmese on the other side.
And finally, the front door. This was the original internal door from the hall to the living area. Fortunately protected from the elements and the neighbour's pissing dog, it's heavy and straight and not too eaten by woodworm. While sanding through layers of paint, including an insane turquoise, I found something written on the door in pencil. The words were illegible but the markings were obviously that of child's height.
Old houses are so like people, don't you think? So full of surprises.

chasing roman rocks
I can't resist a brown sign. Especially the ones with the arch, symbolising an historic monument. The ones with the pillory symbol I can pass on, along with the beach ones and the water ones. If you followed all of those then you might end up at Praia das Rocas (beach), and that would be disappointing. On the other hand a brown sign saying Osso da Baleia(beach) – well that's intriguing.
Thus, when I'm let out by myself I spend hours chasing brown signs. The One will not stand for my random turn-off adventures, and who can blame him when the monument in question might be 28 kilometres from the signpost and if you can actually find it it may only be a small rock covered in duck poo.
I've spent years chasing small rocks around the world. Greek and Roman rocks mostly, from Palmyra (Syria), Nemausus (France) to Bulla Regia (Tunisia). And now, just down the road.
Indeed the great city of Conimbriga is not far from here. But more interesting are the smaller ancient fragments scattered around, hiding under the stones of Portugal's not-so-modern villages.
Take Condeixa-A-Velha, which sits in a deep gorge in the shadow of Conimbriga. It's a classic Portuguese village with more than the usual dose of oldness. No doubt that the houses here would have been built with stone from Conimbriga. Indeed if you are renovating in Condeixa Velha an archeological team come around and dig a hole in your foundations. In an inaccessible alley crowded in by rough little houses and built upon by a large unused barn, are three roman arches, their purpose buried by time.
A few kilometers away another brown sign lured me to the village of Alcabedique, surely one of the best place names in Portugal. There, without a shred of indication are the remains of the Roman reservoir which supplied water to Conimbriga.
All around this area the landscape looks ancient, biblical. Especially in the dry heat of summer with crickets singing and vines heavy with fruit. The villa romana in Rabaçal sits in an olive grove with trunks as old and wide boababs. There's really nothing left of this Roman house-complex except the shapes of the walls. Although under the sand which covers the internal spaces there are some fading mosaics.
Antiquity is best kept in the dark. The brutal exposure that most ancient ruins have to endure makes their deterioration inevitable. The older the ruin, the more it gets subjected to terrible restoration. Especially in the 20th century when tour buses and cement trucks collided.
The Residência Senhorial dos Condes de Castelo Melhor is a monument of the 21st century. A grand 16th century Manueline castle and villa of aristocracy was acquired by the council last century and left to rot until being made state heritage in 1978. Subsequently it slowly began to be restored and in 2002 Roman ruins were officially discovered in the foundations. Fortunately no one had listened to the plumber who worked on the tavern built in a part of the villa back in 1975. He discovered the mosaics entombed in the foundations, in rooms in which a family lived until 2002.
Had they been discovered in 1975, their rescue and preservation would not have been so sensitively managed, such was the politic and science of the time. Today, despite the imperative to preserve the 16th century building on top, these mosaic carpets might be exactly as they looked to 5th century Romans.
This Roman house was massive. It far exceeds the boundaries of the castle, where excavations continue. The foundations show that the Roman house was occupied over a few generations, with higher levels and differing styles of mosaic works showing renovations. Apart from the mosaics in the small subterranean houses in Tunisia, these are the most beautiful floors I've ever seen.
Between the Italian city of Herculaneum, the underground Bulla Regia and this single house in Santiago da Guarda, it's obvious to me that the Romans built the most beautiful homes in history.
It makes renovating a place first built in 1937 somewhat bemusing.

Atom Bank secures £30m British Business Bank boost
Atom Bank CEO Mark Mullen and chairman Anthony Thomson
Challenger bank Atom has secured a £30m Tier Two capital facility to fund its UK growth plans, in an agreement with British Business Bank Investments Ltd (BBBIL), the commercial branch of the British Business Bank (BBB).
The £30m facility is being made through the BBBIL's investment programme, which has committed £580m in total to providers of funding to small UK businesses and SMEs since it was launched alongside the BBB in 2014.
It is hoped Tier Two, or so-called "supplementary" capital, will enable Atom Bank – the first digital-only bank in the UK – to draw on funding more flexibly as it grows.
Commenting on the deal, CEO at BBBIL, Catherine Lewis La Torre, said: "Our investment in Atom bank demonstrates our commitment to increasing the diversity of small business finance by supporting recently licensed and ambitious challenger banks."
Launched in 2016, Atom Bank immediately made a commitment to small business financing with one of its first products – a secure lending facility and fixed saver account for micro businesses and SMEs, at market-leading rates.
Founder and chairman at Atom Bank, Anthony Thomson, said that this Tier Two deal would give the challenger "tremendous flexibility".
He added: "Like all banks, we are actively managing our capital structure and having access to Tier Two capital at this stage helps support our growth, and is a great result for Atom, its shareholders and customers.
"Tier Two capital at such an early stage of the growth cycle is rare, and we are extremely pleased to be gaining this support from BBBIL. Together with the BBB, we are sending a clear sign – we are here to support UK SMEs."
Atom Bank serves both business and personal banking clients through a smartphone app, doing away with the traditional face-to-face banking models of high street lenders.
In an interview with Business Advice last year, Atom Bank CEO Mark Mullen said that as a startup itself, the challenger could relate to small business owners in a way the bigger banks no longer could.
"We know what it's like to be a growing business," said Mullen. "We know what cost management is, for example. We carry the badge of being a startup at heart, and that isn't something we carry lightly."
Commenting on BBBIL's strategy behind the deal, Lewis La Torre went on to say: "We have seen challenger banks becoming an increasingly important source of UK SME funding and we believe a committed regulatory capital facility will not only support Atom's growth trajectory but will also drive the bank's ability to lend to UK SMEs."

Brain Chip Gives Paralyzed Man Control Of His Hand
A paralyzed man has regained partial use of his right hand after a chip was implanted into his brain.
Ian Burkhart, 24, has been quadriplegic for the last five years after diving into shallow water. In a world first, electronic sensors have sent signals from his brain to his muscles, to allow him to grasp and pour a bottle, pick up a stick, and even play the video game Guitar Hero.
"It reinstated a lot of hope that people with my kind of injury won't just have to settle," Burkhart said in a statement. "Since then, we've been able to do a bunch of things that someone with my kind of injury should not be able to do."
Burkhart has spent the last two years taking part in a study at Ohio State University involving neural bypass technology.
Surgery was performed on Burkhart to implant a flexible chip that detects electrical activity in his brain when he thinks about moving his hand. A cable then transmits the signals to a computer, which in turn transmits electrical impulses that stimulate his muscles.
"We're showing for the first time that a quadriplegic patient is able to improve his level of motor function and hand movements," said Ali Rezai, a neurosurgeon at Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center and co-author of the study that details the technology.

You may or may not know that I have a long commute. It takes me about 45 minutes each way to get work. This leaves me without about an hour and a half per day of dead time. Typically, I'm a big fan or car rides – I even love roads trips. Despite that, I HATE commuting. In the morning especially, it feels like a waste of time. Its 45 minutes of sleep or getting ready or coffee time I could have enjoyed were I not in a car. More and more I am looking for new ways to get through a long commute.
One of the ways I get through a long commute is by listening to things that entertain me. From podcasts to audiobooks, taking that 45 minutes to learn + expand my mind seems like a better use than sitting in silence or jamming out to TSwift again (although sometimes that is my choice. Here's what I'm listening to these days.
P.S. I Love This Podcast – I am obsessed with this podcasts. Sarah + Dana discuss your favorite 2000s rom-coms, Jane Austen novels, and Disney Channel Original Movies. Let your "I love love" freak flag fly + check them out!
Anna Karenina – I had lofty dreams to finish this in quarter three, but that did not happen. A may have to get through a long commute, but 35 hours is a lot to get through. Don't get me wrong, Maggie Gyllenhaal is a delight to listen to, but I can't live in 19th century Russia every day.
This Will Only Hurt a Little – Busy Philips book came out TODAY + I. am. pumped. I love Busy + her work. I am so excited to hear her stories literally first hand as she is the narrator. If you can get books narrated by the author (like Girl, Wash Your Face, The Year of Yes, Yes Please, etc.), do it. I love hearing the stories in the cadence + tone of those who wrote them.
RISE – Speaking of Girl, Wash Your Face + Rachel Hollis, I am very into her podcast, RISE (she also has one RISE Together with her husband Dave). Rachel gets real + gives amazing advice to help you no matter where you are in life. She's also relatable as hell + has great guests.
Music – Sometimes I do need some tunes. I am a big fan of Spotify premium + have made several playlists from the top songs of each year to 00s lady jams. One of my current favorite playlists is by 90s cover band, Zoodust. Listen to it now to tap into your inner 90s-kid.
Spotify curated playlists – While I love the playlists I have made, Spotify has made some pretty amazing ones. I live in the "mood" section to find something that tickles my fancy.
Head over to my Instagram to let me know how you get through a long commute!

New Delhi, Jan 3 (IANS) A day after Tata Sons moved the Supreme Court challenging the NCLAT's judgement reinstating Cyrus Mistry as the group's Chairman, Ratan Tata, the Chairman Emeritus filed a petition in his personal capacity claiming that the appellate tribunal's verdict was "erroneous" and it "pulled down" the governance and corporate structure of the group.
"The appellate tribunal, by means of the impugned judgment, has not only sought to provide a cachet on the unsubstantiated and baseless allegations levelled by respondent nos. 1 and 2 (Mistry and others) qua the appellant but has also pulled down the governance and corporate structure of Tata Sons which was painstakingly put together by its founders," the former Tata Sons chief told the Supreme Court.
Tata's petition also said that the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) passed adverse remarks against him without providing proper evidence.
The NCLAT judgement of December 18, asked Ratan Tata not to take any decision in advance, which required concurrence of majority of the board of directors. "Ratan N. Tata (2nd respondent) and the nominee of the 'Tata Trusts' shall desist from taking any decision in advance, which requires majority decision of the board of directors or in the annual general meeting," the order read.
"It is very unfortunate and distressing that Impugned Judgment without providing any proper evidence has passed adverse remarks against the appellant who has spent more than half of his life in building the name of the Tata Sons and other Tata operating companies to one of the top global companies," Tata said.
He said that the findings of NCLAT are wrong, erroneous and contrary to the record of the case and requires consideration by the Supreme Court.
On the replacement of Cyrus Mistry as the Chairman of Tata Sons, he said that the relationship between Mistry and Tata Trusts had become discordant and it was felt by Tata Trusts that he could not provide robust leadership to Tata Sons in future.
"Amongst the various fronts where Cyrus Mistry's leadership was lacking was his reluctance to timely and meaningfully disassociate himself from his family business after he became the Chairman of Tata Sons and address any conflict in this regard, which was a condition precedent to his appointment as Chairman of Tata Sons," the petition said.
It mentioned that due to such issues, Ratan Tata, as Chairman of Tata Trusts, Nitin Nohria, a trust-nominated director approached Mistry on October 24, 2016 and requested him to step down from the position of Executive Chairman of Tata Sons.
"It was only because Cyrus Mistry was unrelenting to step down from the position of the Executive Chairman that a formal motion for his replacement had to be brought into the Board Meeting of Tata Sons on the same day by the Trusts Nominated Directors.
"Ultimately, the trust deficit and loss of confidence in Cyrus Mistry's abilities as the Executive Chairman was displayed in the Board Meeting held on the same day i.e. October 24, 2016, where 7 out of 9 Directors (one abstained and the remaining one was Mistry himself) voted for his replacement as the Executive Chairman of the Tata Sons," he said.

Two Ole Miss Players Injured During Practice
Mar 28, 2015 College Football, Eugene Brazley, Jaylen Walton, Jordan Wilkins, Mike Hilton, Mississippi Rebels, NCAA Football, Ole Miss Rebels
Jordan Wilkins rushes against TCU in the Peach Bowl (Streeter Lecka/Getty Images North America)
Defensive back Mike Hilton and running back Jordan Wilkins were both injured during Mississippi spring practice this week.
Hilton suffered a broken thumb, which will keep him out of the remaining spring practices. Wilkins sprained his MCL and he is considered "day-to-day." Another running back, Eugene Brazley, suffered a concussion.
Hilton should be ready to go by summer and that is good news for the Ole Miss defense. Hilton started all 13 games for Ole Miss in 2014 and was the team's leading tackler at 71. He also had 4 tackles-for-loss and 3 interceptions. For his career Hilton has 156 tackles, 2 sacks, 13 tackles-for-loss, 3 forced fumbles, and 4 interceptions in 36 career games. He will be a senior in 2015.
Wilkins redshirted in 2013 before seeing plenty of action in 2014. He played in all 13 games while recording 361 yards and a touchdown on 52 carries as the team's second leading rusher behind Jaylen Walton. He also had 1 catch for 6 yards.
Brazley saw limited action in 5 games, but had 128 yards on 26 carries. He also caught 2 passes for 14 yards out of the backfield.
Ole Miss wraps up spring practice on Saturday, April 11.

The AJA FiDO-4T-ST is a 4-channel Optical Fiber to 3G-SDI-ST fiber connectors. AJA Mini-Converters are designed to be small enough to fit behind a monitor, in the back of a rack or directly on a camera rig. A locking power connector can't accidentally pull loose and an optional P-TAP power cable allows for battery power in remote locations.
The AJA mini-converters offer flexibility and cost efficiency for SDI-Fiber conversion, allowing for long cable runs up to 10km with electrical isolation like all other AJA mini-converters. This is useful for eliminating ground loop problems. FiDO converters use a compact, low-profile enclosure that works well in tight spaces around and behind equipment racks, trucks and on camera.

Vana'diel contains a number of crafting guilds which players can join in order to craft (or fish) various items. There are also a number of Hobbies which players can utilize to obtain materials to aid in these crafts.
Craft often used to create enhancing and enfeebling potions, healing medicines, enfeebling weapons, and Ninjutsu tools.
Craft which works with bones to create moderately heavy armor and a wide variety of ammunition and jewelry.
Craft which works with natural threads to craft lightweight armor and capes often used by magicians.
Craft which combines ingredients to make a wide variety of tasty and enhancing meals.
Craft which seeks to catch the fish from the oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, streams and ponds of Vana'diel.
Craft which works with precious gems and metals to create beautiful jewelry and glittering armor.
Craft which works with animal hides to craft medium-weight and versatile armor.
Craft which reformulates raw ores into usable ingredients for making heavy armor and weapons.
Craft which uses lumber found around Vana'diel to craft a variety of weapons, shields, ammunition and Mog House furniture.
Craft used in combination with other craft skills in a group effort to inscribe special effects on weapons and armor with Evolith stones.
To become an experienced crafter, every ten skill levels, you are required to prove to the guild that you "have what it takes" by crafting (or buying) an item of the guild's choosing. This item can be turned in once you have reached an "8" in skill (8, 28, 48, etc.), or higher skill (up to the cap).
After you hit level 70 you get 40 levels to distribute among the other crafts you also have above level 70. Meaning you can get every single craft up to 70 without any issues, but post 70 you have 40 levels to distribute.
If you raise a craft skill past 70, after already having 40 levels distributed to other crafts above 70, the level of the crafts already above 70 will decrease, starting with the highest craft skill not gaining a level.
As Fishing and Synergy are not synthesis crafts (which use crystals) they are not subject to any of these limitations. You can level Fishing to 110, Synergy to 80, all the rest of the crafts to 70, and still have the 40 points left to distribute as you want.
To recap and delevel a previous craft back to 70 and journeyman talk to your current guildmaster and she/he will give you the choice to do so.
It is generally believed that the following results are accurate. These are, however, assumptions only.

The same factors that draw birds to your backyard may also contribute to their death by window, suggests a recent study.
THAT HURT – A one-eyed black-capped chickadee recuperates atop a box after apparently smacking into the Gazette building in this 2013 photo. A recent study suggests that many of the factors that draw birds to the Gazette (such as trees) raise the risk that birds will run into its windows.
University of Alberta masters student Justine Kummer published a study in The Condor this week on factors related to bird-window collisions in Alberta.
The study builds on a similar one done by co-author and U of A biologist Erin Bayne in 2012.
"Recent estimates have said up to 22 million birds (in Canada) are dying from collisions with windows of our houses each year," Kummer said, citing a conclusion of the 2012 study.
While previous studies have identified several ways where humans raise the risk of bird deaths, Kummer said that this was the first to compare many of them to determine their relative importance.
Kummer recruited 1,315 Albertans, mostly from the Edmonton and St. Albert region, through the Birds and Windows Project in 2013. Kummer had them monitor their homes for evidence of bird collisions each day for (ideally) 28 days. She and her team also used Google Earth to determine general landscape features of each monitoring site, such as distance to the nearest tree stand. The team took the 930 collisions recorded, 102 of which were fatal, and ran them through several analytical models to determine which factors were most associated with collisions.
The team found that time of year and home location were the most significant factors when it came to what caused a bird to hit a home. Birds were six times more likely to hit windows at rural locations during the fall than they were to hit them at urban ones in the winter.
Tall trees were another risk. Birds strikes were 3.6 times more likely to happen in yards where homes had trees that were taller than two stories compared to those that had no trees. Having a bird feeder raised collision risks by 1.7 times.
Kummer said she wasn't that surprised by these results.
"These are things that are attracting birds to a house," she said, and the more birds you have, the better your odds of having a collision.
We get more collisions in the fall as migration brings more birds to our homes, she explained. Rural homes have more trees, which means more habitat and birds. Winter might reduce collisions because the birds that stay here tend to stick around the same yards, making them more familiar with hazards such as windows.
St. Albert's tall trees are great places for birds to find food and shelter and are also often at the same height as windows, which makes them risk factors as well.
The study found that bird feeders raised the risk of collisions even for birds that didn't use them. The study suggests that this could be due to feeders often being in yards with lots of vegetation or other attractants, such as bird-baths.
Kummer suggested that protecting natural areas and keeping yards small could help reduce the risk of bird collisions, as would repositioning your bird feeder. Removing trees could help, but few people are willing to do that.
You can reduce the risk caused by your bird feeder by putting it within three feet of your window (so the bird doesn't have room to get up to ramming speed when it flies away from the feeder) or more than 10 feet away (so it has room to steer), said Dave Cleary of Edmonton's Wild Birds Unlimited.
"A lot of bird fatalities are house sparrows," he noted, which frequent feeders and spook easily. The reflections caused by windows confuse them, causing collisions.
Black stickers help break up a window's reflection, but also obscure your view through it. Cleary suggested using transparent UV-reflective ones instead, as the birds will see the UV light.
If you find a concussed bird that's still alive, Cleary suggests gently picking it up in a tea towel to keep it warm and leaving it in an open box off the ground so it's safe from cats.

Werdo, né avant 778 et mort le , est un abbé du monastère de Saint-Gall.

Le prêtre Werdo est mentionné pour la première fois dans des documents en 778. Après le renvoi de Waldo de Reichenau en 784, il est nommé abbé du monastère de Saint-Gall par Egino de Constance. Il est probablement décédé le .

Biographie

Werdo semble avoir été accepté auprès des moines de Saint-Gall avec quelques réserves. Durant la période où il fut à la tête de l'abbaye, il eut une forte dépendance avec l'évêque Egino de Constance. Ce lien transparait particulièrement dans la documentation. Werdo a mené une politique d'acquisition foncière comparable à celle de l'abbé Jean II de Constance. Il acquit de nombreux biens dans la région du Danube-Neckar. A Saint-Gall, les premiers avocats qui assistèrent l'abbé ou son représentant dans la tenue des tribunaux et dans les transactions légales, ont commencé sous ses ordres.

Latest data from the IMF shows that the EU remains the world's largest economic unit. Its GDP in 2010 was $16.2tn, 26% of the global economy. The USA was next with $14.5tn, and China 3rd with GDP of $5.9tn.
So what happens in Europe matters greatly to the global economy.
This is not good news, by any standard.
Another way of interpreting the data is to average 2010-2011 volumes. This takes account of 2010's stock-build as crude oil prices rose, and then 2011's destocking. It gives an average volume for the 2 years of 19.9MT. This would be the lowest volume since 2001, excluding 2009.
The conclusion is obvious. Demand destruction is underway in the world's largest economic region. It also seems unlikely that things will improve short-term with oil prices at a sustained record level, and with EU governments committed to an austerity approach.
Producers and consumers have done a superb job over the past few months in reducing output in line with demand. In the short-term, they should hope for a reward in terms of a bounce in orders. H1 should be the seasonally strongest part of the year.
But only an extreme optimist will regard this as a sign that the economy itself is turning the corner. And policymakers' continuing inability to finalise Greece's inevitable default is a reminder, if one were needed, of the banana skins that now litter the world's economic outlook.
