The Pix Team: Sri Lanka's Metamorphoses
Metamorphoses, writes Shehan Karunatilaka in his introduction to the Sri Lankan issue of PIX, "is the past becoming now; the broken becoming the whole as Sri Lanka is transforming, from war porn to tourist brochure; from third world mess to Asian hopeful. It is the dark ages before our renaissance, the difficult puberty that we're told will pass.'
In the 91 pages that follow, photographers submit their lenses into the service of this one theme. To Jagath Dheerasekara 'Metamorphoses' lies in the inscrutable, masked faces of the women in a public hospital's burn unit, to Dominic Sansoni it is among the wedding guests in a hall in Colombo 13. With Alefiya Akberally we wait alongside the women of the Bohra community for the Dai al-Mutlaq to arrive, and with Aaron Burton we go fishing at dawn off Arugam Bay. Stephen Champion leaves us to follow the trickle of blood that leads into a shop full of corpses and Dipti Desai asks us to imagine what lies behind the tidy, pretty windows of Colombo houses.
Abby Robinson is ignored by the actress looking into another camera. Q.Sakamaki steps into a shop where we find posters of Tamil martyrs for sale. Kannan Arunasalam stands behind Bala Tampoe as he addresses a rally, Timothy Barco looks into the face of Ravi, who runs a small tailoring shop in Batticaloa. Olivia Bonal Sansoni takes a picture of a picture of the brave, late Cpl. Gamini Kularatne; Indunil Munasinghe captures his wife standing smiling behind him. A heavily moustachioed officer stands on the beach and poses for Yannik Willing. Devaka Seneviratne contemplates petrol sold in coke bottles and the two lovers at Galle Face stay hidden by their umbrella from Avanti Tanya. Deshan Tennekoon and three workers look on as a van churns through the flooded streets of Colombo. Liz Fernando lives in her father's memories of Trincomalee and the ghosts of four 'dead' girls flutter and blur, trapped in the lens of Ruvin de Silva's camera.
The organisers of Metamorphoses: (l-r) Mridul, Tanvi and Rahaab
In a wonderful collection of photographs, the PIX team share some of the extraordinary work that has been done by photographers in Sri Lanka. Having generated the theme in conversation with locals, they then threw open the submissions to the general public. The resulting selection is a lovely blend of photographers of both genders, of different ages and ethnicities and as a result it is a collection that speaks in many voices. "We wanted people to work in different forms and in different ways even within the field of photography," says Mridul Batra, a founder member of photographers collective Lucida which works with PIX.
A free photography quarterly, PIX is supported by the Japan Foundation. They are here thanks in part to the enthusiasm and support of the Goethe Institute but also in response to the building curiosity they believe Sri Lanka inspires in the region. For editor Rahaab Allana, the process is akin to taking the pulse of contemporary photography in Sri Lanka. Though largely unrepresented and overshadowed by their more populous neighbours, Rahaab wanted to see the modern photography scene in Sri Lanka had produced.
Their theme, so open to interpretation, has allowed photographers to go beyond news and documentary photography which has tended to dominate the photo archives dedicated to Sri Lanka. "Looking at an event, such as a civil war, such as a civil unrest, is one way of capturing a moment in time of your country, but it's not the only moment you need to capture or portray," says Rahaab.
Tanvi Mishra, who is part of the Editorial team at PIX, points out that the work of Stephen Champion and Q. Sakamai were in some ways "the more obvious answers to a question of metamorphoses coming from a country like Sri Lanka which has had such an active, recent history of civil unrest." For her, Ruvin de Silva and Liz Fernando, with their fictionalised photographic narratives brought something essential to the table. "It reminds us that even if there is a war going on, there are also other creative endeavours going on and we ask ourselves 'Should everything be overshadowed by the war?'
In an interesting tactic, the PIX editors paired local photographers with local writers – choosing Sanjana Hattotuwa to meditate on Jagath Dheerasekera's work, pairing Ramya Chamalie Jirasinghe's poetry with Dipti Desai's photographs and having Indi Samarajiva dream up a story that tied Ruvin de Silva's dead girls together. (Other contributing writers include Masii, Shruthi Mathews, Sasanka Perera and Roel Raymond.) For Tanvi some of the most absorbing collaborations are those that give the photographs an entirely new direction. "We're so very interested in seeing how people respond to this collection of work," says Tanvi. "For us, it's almost like discovering a new community."
Rahaab takes pains to emphasise that "This was not meant to be 'the' Sri Lanka issue, in the sense that is not the only Sri Lanka issue that is possible." For his part, he knows that this is just the beginning of the world's interest in Sri Lankan art and culture. "Colombo has had its biennale now. It's part of the big, bad world. It's inevitable that Sri Lanka will open up," he says.

Carol Ambruster Memorial Fund
The Medallion Awards are conferred each year by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to graduating seniors who have excelled in their major course of study during their undergraduate years at Villanova. The awards are typically given to the student with the highest GPA within their major, with the requirement that the GPA be at least 3.50 at the end of the Fall term preceding graduation. The medallion award for a major in Astronomy and Astrophysics is named after the Augustinian friar Fr. Edward Felix Jenkins, O.S.A. (1906-1991), who founded the Department of Astrophysics and Planetary Science.
Fr. Jenkins was ordained a priest of the Order of Saint Augustine in June 1931. He became an instructor in chemistry at Villanova University in 1935, while completing his doctoral work in chemistry. He received his doctorate in 1939. Following a lifelong passion for astronomy, Fr. Jenkins learned the art of lens grinding and telescope construction from close friend Edwin F. Bailey of the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia. The two constructed a telescope which was mounted in a make-shift observatory (a converted grain silo!) on top of Tolentine Hall. Due to Fr. Jenkins' influence, the new Mendel Science Center, completed in 1961, was equipped with both a planetarium and an observatory and the University instituted a degree program in astronomy. Fr. Jenkins served as chairman of the Department until 1974, and continued as an active member of the Department until shortly before his death in 1991.

When I went to "109", girls were whispering to each other and pointing at me.
ジュリアーノ・ガラオさん
Giuliano Garau (Holland)
Photographer, Audio & Visual Professional
(He came to Japan five days ago)
He is the first person on this website! Mr. Garau arrived in Japan five days ago. But he can already speak some basic Japanese.
He worked as a salesperson for electronic equipments in Holland. But he really, really wanted to come to Japan, so he saved some money and traveled across oceans and land to get to Japan. Now he seems to be really happy with being in Tokyo.
*Interview in Shirokane-dai, Minato-ku
"YES! I've finally arrived in Japan."
I came to Japan to broaden my horizon. My interest in Japan is very big. I'd love to learn more about the culture, the people, the food, the design culture and the language. It's a vacation now but hopefully I will find work here so I can stay longer.
When I was younger, I had lots of Japanese influences. At a young age I learned Karate. I also got interested in anime(animated cartoon) movies. For example, Hayao Miyazaki's works ( "Spirited Away, "Castle of Laputa" ) and other anime movies like "Ghost In the Shell" and"Akira".
I also got introduced to the game "Final Fantasy", which has been one of my favorite games ever. At a later age, when the internet was available I got interested in music from Japanese artists. I listened to Hikaru Utada's tunes, and from composers like Joe Hisaishi, Nobuo Uematsu and many more I can't think of right now.
And of course, because I studied audio and visual design, I got in touch with lots of Japanese movies and Japanese designs. When I set foot in Narita Airport, I felt, "YES! I have finally arrived in Japan." I already knew some things about Japan so everything went smoothly.
At the "department store for girls"
When I was in Shibuya, I wanted to check out some departments stores, to see what they've got. I went to the building called "109", the department store specializes only in clothing for girls. I didn't know that. I went to the 1st floor of 109 and I noticed a lot of girls.
They were whispering to each other and pointing at me. So I was thinking: "What's wrong? Is my hair OK?" I continued to the 2nd floor. Again, only girls' clothes. Next floor, girls' clothes. Each floor had only clothes for girls. So I got a little embarrassed and quickly left the building. It was wrong place for men!
Tokyo is really lively
Of course, there are many differences between Japan and Holland. Japanese people are very polite. For example, Clerks always welcome everyone who comes into their shops, hotels or any other public facilities. Many of those public facilities and shops are open 24/7; this makes the city really lively.
Japan also has a recycling system much more advanced than the one in Holland. Food is also very different from that in Holland. Very delicious! And of course, Japanese fashion is very different.
I love Japanese food.
I love the fashion.
I love the Japanese designs.
I love the Japanese atmosphere… I love lots of things here.
So I want to stay here for a long time. I have to leave here in three months, because I am only a tourist now. But hopefully I will find some work and so I'll be able to stay here much longer, even for the rest of my life! No, it's hard to say actually. I've been here only for a few days and I'm still enjoying it. But maybe if I've been here for a longer time my feelings will change.
I don't think if that will happen, but for now I want to stay for a really long time. It was my dream to come to Tokyo. I've seen many pictures, read lots of stories and seen a few movies of Tokyo. So I finally stand here in the busy crowd and look up at the tall buildings and I get goose-bumpy. It's really amazing.
What is Tokyo to you?
Tokyo is in one word "Awesome!" I think everybody should come to Japan just once in his/her life.

Prison Industry bill set for governor's signature
The Commissioner of the Alabama Department of Corrections has a vision, one that will give meaningful work and hope for tomorrow to those inmates who truly want to improve their lot in life.
Commissioner Kim Thomas saw that vision come in to clearer focus this week with the passage of HB30 and SB63, these bills will allow the Department of Corrections to enter into agreements with private industry to establish work-oriented rehabilitation programs within Alabama's state prisons. Having passed the House and Senate the bill now awaits the signature of Governor Robert Bentley to become law.
The bill was shepherded methodically through the Legislature by Rep. Dr. Jim McClendon (R-Springville). McClendon had worked last year to pass the bill only to watch it die in the senate. This year with the help of Senator Arthur Orr (R-Decatur) the bill won the day. "One of the things this bill does is it gets prisoners on a work routine. They get used to going to work everyday," said McClendon, "Another thing that happens is that gives the prisoners experience that they can use when they are seeking work once they get out."
The bill met with fierce options by some who said that is was a return to chain-gangs and was just state sanctioned slavery.
Across 38 states these programs have been tremendously successful and beneficial to the inmate as well as the state.
"In this process we have deliberately taken a lot of time to talk with legislators, individually and in groups to educate them about this bill and listened very carefully to their [Legislators] concerns," said Commissioner Thomas, "Many of those concerns are addressed in the bill itself and others will become evident over time with its implementation.
The bill will allow the Department of Corrections (DOC) to contract with private industry to bring jobs into Alabama prison facilities, enabling inmates to earn a wage as well as pay for some of the cost of their incarceration and to pay restitution to the victims of their crimes.
"This will allow healing to take place for the victims as well as hopefully adding to the rehabilitation of the offender," said Thomas, "This can be a part of paying their debt to society and beginning to start over for those who choose to do so.
The program must meet Federal guidelines in its inception and its application. Under those guideline no job within the prison can displace a civilian worker. The inmate must be paid the prevailing wage for that job in that area, ensuring that no corporation could take advantage of the inmate workforce.
"I want the Legislators and the people of Alabama to see that we have done this legitimately that is is an advantage in many ways," said Thomas.
Adding, "Once we get the certification form the federal government we want to find a good company that is willing to come behind the wire and provide good jobs, with job training and the potential for job placement once they are released."
Working in the program is totally voluntary and prison industry worker are under strict rules and oversight by the U. S. Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA).
"An important keystone part of this bill is that participation in the program is totally voluntary. Those prisoners that wish to participate, if they qualify, will be allowed to do so. And those prisoners that do not wish to participate will not have to do so at all," said McClendon.
Thomas points out that idleness is a real problem for those in prisons it not only can lead to bad behavior there is also a sense of hopelessness that prevails. "When people are locked away in prison they are isolated from pro-social behavior, this program is a way if a person truly wants to they can gain a great sense of self-reliance and hope," said Thomas.
Thomas says that he and his staff will be looking at the programs that have been working in the other states to craft for Alabama the best program possible.
He believe that this opportunity works on many levels to offer an inmate skills, give them meaningful work while incarcerated and also a better chance once released from custody.
Around 90 percent of the current prison population will one day be released. According to Thomas, lack of jobs, or employment and an unsuitable home environment are two major causes that lead to reincarceration.
Thomas wanted to make it abundantly clear how much he and the ADOC staff appreciated the efforts of Rep. McClendon and Sen. Orr, he also spoke of the great help they received from the House Speaker Mike Hubbard and Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh. He wanted everyone to know how much Governor Bentley's support has meant to the effort.
After the bill is signed into law the DOC will work on the process of certification by the United States Department of Justice.
According to the he Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), "Under the Prison Industry Enhancement Certification Program (PIECP), the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) certifies that local or state prison industry programs meet all the necessary requirements to be exempt from federal restrictions on prisoner-made goods in interstate commerce. The program places inmates in realistic work environments, pays them prevailing wages, and gives them a chance to develop marketable skills that will increase their potential for rehabilitation and meaningful employment on release."
Today, 38 states operate a work program like the one that Thomas plans for Alabama.


What is Scarborough Borough Council doing locally to 'address' the need for housing at a local level?
Further to Cllr Barnett's request at Council earlier this week; please see below information regarding homelessness within the Borough.
? Over the first half of this year 52 households in total had been classed by the Council as being homeless and owed a full duty under the homeless legislation.
? So far this year over 300 households 'at risk of homelessness' have had their homelessness prevented or alleviated following an intervention by the Council.
? There are currently 1826 households on the housing register.
? As at today's date there are 32 homeless households who have been accepted by the Council as being statutorily homeless but to whom we have not yet been able to 'discharge' our duty through the offer of accommodation. There are a further 17 households who are currently being assessed to determine what duties are owed.
? As at today's date we have 40 households in temporary accommodation, 4 of whom (all single people) are in B&B.
? As at the end of October the Council had spent £31K on B&B for homeless people. Total spend on B&B in 2015/16 was £49K.
? We are due to undertake a rough sleepers count this month. Based on intelligence from work undertaken over the summer and autumn we do anticipate an increase in rough sleeping overall.
To give all these figures context Members may be interested in looking at the longer term trends as highlighted within the Councils homeless strategy along with the range of actions and services available locally to tackle this issue . Overall we are seeing a slight increase in demand as compared to last year.
Members may also be interested in the progression of the new Homelessness Reduction Bill currently passing through Parliament with Government and cross party support. This is likely to have significant implications for Local Authorities going forward.
"The charts and maps on the attached link give a good and up to date overview of national trends and position and how we compare. Nationally homelessness levels have been increasing since 2010 as has the use of temporary accommodation by Councils. However it's important to note that overall numbers remain much lower as compared to national peaks in 2004/5. This marked reduction from 2004 onwards was in part due to a significant push around homeless prevention by Councils supported by additional investment by Government.
At the local level numbers did begin to rise in 2010 but then dipped again. Overall numbers remain much lower than they did 12 years ago. We do, to date, appear to be bucking the national trend. See below.
Similarly numbers in temporary accommodation began to rise in 2010 but have since reduced. This is quite different to the national position. Overall numbers are much lower than they were 12 years ago.... If yourself or any other Councillor wishes to spend some time looking at the work the Council does in tackling homelessness please let me know. "
Q: I don't wish to be pedantic but a definition of household would be useful, ergo does this include single young people, or for that matter the elderly?
A: "For the purposes of all the below a household could comprise of single people, families, couples, single young people and the elderly. Basically any single unit of people who normally cohabit together (or on their own) and are seeking accommodation or our help."
"The Chancellor revealed that the capital will receive more than £3 billion as its share of national affordable housing funding.
He also outlined plans for a £2.3 billion housing infrastructure fund to help build up to 100,000 homes in areas "of high demand".
Philip Hammond said that for "too many the goal of home ownership remains out of reach", and the Government wanted to "deliver a housing market that works for everyone".
"Archaeologists have made a range of finds in the newly-discovered city including buildings, shards of pottery and tools made of metal and stone."

The Apocalypse Stone
Pete Earley
"Judge not, lest ye be judged."
These words have rarely if ever crossed the mind of Aberlene county judge Evan Spencer. From a middle class background, he graduated law school, married into wealth, and now has his eye on a Supreme Court seat. All seemed to be going well for Judge Spencer, until he received a package from an old college friend he hadn't heard from in years containing a cryptic note and a small stone. But in trying to track down his old friend, Spencer learns of the man's suicidal leap from the roof off a 20-story balcony.
Evan Spencer now has control of an object whose power is beyond anything he could possibly imagine—an object whose very existence has been kept under wraps by the Vatican for decades. Spencer has been given the Apocalypse Stone: the actual stone Christ used when he stated "He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone." Throughout history this stone has been passed along, inflicting its possessor with stigmatic wounds and vivid visions of their sinful life.
Enlisting the help of Reverend Angelo Grasso, a seventy-two year-old expert on the history of stigmatic cases, Spencer must uncover the secrets behind this strange stone, or watch his family, career, and possibly his life be destroyed.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY APR 17, 2006
Earley (The Big Secret) offers a confusing blend of religious magic, courtroom drama, political machinations and sexual hijinks in a potboiler that's more readable than believable. Evan Spencer, a Virginia Circuit Court judge, appears to have it all: beautiful wife, wealthy and powerful connections and a safe path to a state supreme court appointment. But a simple white, round stone with mystical powers turns his world upside down. A chain of events results in Spencer suspecting his wife of infidelity, presiding over a sensational murder trial in which a black inner-city youth is accused of raping and killing the 11-year-old daughter of his wealthy patron, and being beset by visions accompanied by increasingly vivid manifestations of stigmata. While Spencer's revelations (triggered by the stone) extract an increasing toll on him, the trial unfolds rapidly. Meanwhile, a priest is hot on the trail of the talisman. Commingling a trial that is by turns engrossing and farcical with the powerful effects of a magical Christian relic on Spencer's personal and professional fate (not to mention his salvation), Earley overloads this entertaining but ultimately unsatisfying thriller.

Daughters of War
by Dinah Jefferies
Pub Date: 16 Sep 2021 | Archive Date: Not set
Reviewer 681740
This first title from a new series by Dinah Jefferies was disappointing for me. The main issues were the heavily descriptive narrative (which took the edge off the action) and the storylines and twists were somewhat predictable. That said, it is an evocative tale about three sisters and their individual struggles during the time of German occupation of France, and most readers appear to love it. It just wasn't the page-turner I had hoped it would be.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my advance copy of this novel. This is my unbiased opinion.
Jess C, Reviewer
Wow!! What a emotional read. I loved this books about Helene, Elsie and Florence and their story. So bits were quite hard to read. I look forward to reading the second book next year!
Cathy P, Reviewer
This is the first book in a trilogy about three sisters, Elise, Helene and Florence. It is set in France towards the end of WWII.  I love a historical fiction book and this was a captivating read. Not an easy period to write about but I am a firm fan of Jefferies work and this did not disappoint. It brought the situation to life as we see the sisters face several challenges as the war draws towards its end.
Sharon G, Reviewer
I like this new direction of Dinah Jefferies writing.  It's more character-driven and less figurative language; more action and less descriptive.  Her characters are still wonderfully flawed but there's also a new depth. I found myself totally absorbed in the sister's lives.
Helene, Elise and Florence. Left in the family home in France to fend on their own by a cold and distant mother who stays in England, I was invested in them all.
The sisters have very different personalities who by the end of this first story in the trilogy have been through experiences that have taken them to the darkest of emotions, stripping them of all they knew, and yet they take the knocks and find strength to face the world anew.
Secrets are uncovered that impacted on their lives in small ways as they were growing up and has an even bigger impact during the war.  There are betrayals and sacrifices but also support from the unexpected. Their bonds are tested but they don't shatter.  They grow stronger.  And find a way through, no matter the cost to them as individuals.
I was on tenterhooks for most of the story, wondering what was coming next.  And in Nazi occupied Sainte Cecile, I can tell you it's a lot.  Dinah Jefferies packs an emotional punch and at times, left me feeling bereft.  Daughters of War is brutal.  And I loved it.  It's one of those stories that will stay with me for a long time.
Three kick-ass heroines who are an inspiration and I can't wait to see what the future holds!
Deborah S, Reviewer
This was the first book I've read from this author and I really enjoyed this engaging and deftly plotted novel. This is a wonderfully descriptive tale of three sisters caught up in the events of WWII in the Dordogne, France.  Jeffferies rich descriptions of location and events makes for a compelling, intense and at times, dark and heartrending read.  I especially loved the individual characters of the three sisters, and how their relationship with each other altered and developed over the course of the narrative.  I'm happy to know this is the first in a series and I will most definitely read the others.
I would like to thank the publisher, Harper Collins and Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Liz R, Reviewer
Set in France at the end of the Second World War this book tells the story of the lives of three sisters living in a small village in France. Without making it too harrowing the author describes what it was like living under the German occupation and how ordinary French residents tried to offer resistance and the horrors of the retaliations that could come from the Germans. I would recommend this book as I enjoyed reading it and will look out for new books by this author.
Lisa D, Reviewer
my rating: 3.75/5
I will admit, I haven't read historical fiction in a while - but this book was so refreshing and interesting and rekindled my interest in modern history. I felt that the characters were so lovable despite their various complexities and faults, and the author manages to create such a vivid setting, with beautiful imagery.
That being said, it did take me a long time to finish this book. The plot was slow at times and I repeatedly left it and came back to it. I actually really liked the book, but my attention span really said no.
I enjoyed the snippet of the second book and look forward to the release of both it and the next!
Pam C, Librarian
Dinah Jefferies is a guaranteed good read.
Set in France in 1944, we follow three sisters, Helene, Elise and Florence as they live through German occupation.
The sisters are three strong, likeable women, all with individual stories. They deal with the heartbreak of war, tensions, bravery, love and family secrets.
This book is the first in a trilogy and I am already looking forward to continuing the story in the next book.
Great read 4 ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐
Mary H, Reviewer
Set during 1944 in German occupied France this is the story of three sisters and their lives under this repression. They are three very different characters and handle the challenges in their individual ways.
Set against the beautifully described French countryside the story highlights the brutality of war and its impact on ordinary people. The writing is lovely and this is a completely immersive read. It is the start of a trilogy and I'm looking forward to the next novel.
Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Stacey W, Reviewer
I think I've read most of Dinah Jefferies' books now, so it's great to make the move with her to a new publisher and the beginning of a brand new historical fiction series.
As with Dinah's previous books, Daughters of War is ambitious and covers an incredible amount of historical and personal ground, but at the heart of it, it's the relationship between the three main characters that comes to the fore.
The three, young Baudin sisters having seemingly been left to fend for themselves in occupied France, by a mother with whom they have a somewhat fraught relationship. Based on what is revealed about that in the book, I would love to see that further explored in the two books that are due to follow this one.
During their time in France, Hélène has dropped into the role of mother figure, often at the expense of her own life and experiences, but when the war comes to their doorstep, she has to acknowledge that she is not in control of everything.
As always with Dinah Jefferies' work, there is an immense amount of detail about the period and location, but it fits in seemlessly with what we want to know about the story – there is never description for description's sake, and everything adds to the story and never detracts.
There are a few threads that clearly lead on to the second book, but most of what we would want resolved is resolved, making this book an incredibly rewarding read.

A beautifully written story of three sisters living in a small French village during WW2 occupation by the Nazis. The plot consists of both happy and harrowing moments and is presented in such a way that it feels real. Each character was well-developed and a lot of them were very easy to get attached to. I will gladly read the next book in the trilogy once it's published in 2022.

The first book in this historical fiction trilogy set in WW2 is an emotional and sensory delight. Cleverly created characters draw the reader into their tumultuous lives in occupied France. The story focuses on three sisters living in an idyllic setting in Dordogne, France, which is blighted by enemy occupation and the ravages of war. Hélène, the eldest, a nurse and surrogate mother to the younger women. Elise, the rebel whose courage leads to impulsive acts that may have far-reaching repercussions and Florence, the youngest, a dichotomy of practicality and dreamer.
The beautifully described setting is evocative of the place and time. Intricate world-building and historical details bring the characters and setting to authentic and vibrant life. The plot reflects the dangers and deprivations of war in an immersive way. Empathy is the reader's paramount emotion, as the sisters and the community try to maintain hope and humanity in dire circumstances. Emotive and thought-provoking, it resonates.
I received a copy of this book from Harper Fiction via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

As a fan of Jeffries' stunningly evocative Far Eastern colonial novels, I lapped up this new setting of occupied, rural France, which she presents just as convincingly. And, as always, I was quickly immersed in the lives of her protagonists; in this case, sisters Hélène, Elise and Florence.
I must confess that I was expecting a plot arc along the lines of The Nightingale — also about sisters and the Resistance — but it is here that the comparison ends. And not in a bad way. Daughters of War is just very different.
Jeffries' writing style is languid and atmospheric, the story only gradually unfolding. There is tension in the plot, but this ebbs and flows, rather than building to a frantic denouement. What the narrative lacks in tempo and suspense though, it more than makes up for in its sense of time and place and in its bold, brave heroines.
The three sisters are hugely relatable and likeable, each her own person, each with her designated place in the trio. I love that Jeffries gives each one a separate voice in this tale, giving us access to their innermost thoughts and fears. And I love that despite their very different natures, they are always there for each other and united make a formidable unit.
Jeffries has set the scene well for the next book in this trilogy, revealing family secrets that will change the course of the sisters' lives after the war. I look forward to continuing the saga.

Occupied France in early 1944.
Three women, sisters, Helene, Elise and Florence living together at the edge of a village in the Dordogne.
Helene is a nurse for the local doctor and wants to keep everyone close to her safe.
Elise runs a little café which is at the centre of resistance work and she is determined to be defiant and help defeat the Germans.
Florence the youngest, tends to the home, the garden and dreams of the day that everything is okay again in the world.
As the book progresses, events occur which change the course of all these three women's lives. A knock at the door brings the resistance far closer than Helene would like to their life. Sheltering someone on the run from the wrong side could lead to problems. Florence's innocence is shattered and the behaviour of the girls' mother has a lasting affect on them all, despite her being in England.
The book moves between the three sisters, as we see their perspective, their take on what is happening around them. There are some upsetting scenes, which the author doesn't shy away from and the impact they had whilst I was reading made me recoil, but also knew that this went on and to have it brought to life off the page was quite disturbing but necessary to understand the impact of the actions of the few.
I have read and enjoyed many books set during the Second World War and this will be one that will stay with me for a while. It was interesting to take another aspect of the war; Occupied France and the French Resistance, and not use some of the well written about areas, to create a powerful and evocative storyline.
The skill Jefferies brings is the details into which she goes. From the descriptions, I knew the cottage that the three sisters lived in, the garden that Florence tended in all of it's glory; the flowers, the food, the necessities that were needed to survive were rich in detail. Which when the horrors that were witnessed made them all that more impactful.
I am glad that there is more to learn about these three sisters, as there are many unanswered questions that I have and I cannot wait until I can be swept away again with such an impactful setting and story.
It is authors and books like this that remind me why I love historical fiction so much.

We meet three sisters, Hélène, Elsie, and Florence, in France, 1944. War is raging and their once peaceful community is suffering under Nazi occupation. The sisters' already upturned lives are further rocked when the Allies arrive, seeking their help and setting each on a very different path.
This is a beautiful story of strength, loyalty and resilience under the most difficult of circumstances. It is both heartbreaking in parts and uplifting in others, and wonderfully conveys the delicate balance of despair and hope in the midst of war. The author gives a real sense of the time and place, and all of the characters feel very real. The mix of action and delving into the sister's family history makes for an excellent plot, and the pacing is just right.
While we got to know each sister, the story left me wanting to know more about them as well as some of the supporting cast, so I am very pleased to hear that this is the first instalment in a trilogy. I very much look forward to reading the next book. Definitely one for any fans of historical fiction!
My thanks to the author, NetGalley, and the publisher for the arc to review.

A delightful book as always by Dinah Jefferies. Set in France in 1944, it tells the story of three sisters. Like most siblings the sisters have very different personalities. They desperately want the war to end. I could not have imagined what it would be like to live in France through the German invasion. The three girls are vulnerable, they had little choice. As the time period was so close to the end of the war I so wanted to finish the book and hope it ended the struggles of the three sisters.  Love and grief is a central theme.
I believe this book is the first in a series and I think this must give it a good base to develop things. In many ways this book is unlike Dinah Jefferies other novels, so that adds a dimension to the story. There are secrets and situations that will haunt these girls for many years ahead.
I cant wait for book 2, I hope I enjoy that just as much. I think I will do.
Heather O, Reviewer
I enjoyed this book. It was full of strong female characters and the author did well to create the tension for the reader.
The book was really descriptive about the location and I found it easy to picture what was happening.
The book read well and I found it to be a quick read. I did get slightly confused in parts as there were a lot of characters and found it difficult to differentiate between some of them.
Joanne P, Reviewer
As a huge fan of this author, I eagerly anticipated getting lost in this latest offering.
Daughters of war is another masterpiece from author Dinah Jefferies. Always able to draw in the reader with her evocative descriptions of the setting and the feelings and emotions of the characters, it is impossible not to find yourself completely immersed in the story from the outset.
Sisters Helene, Florence and Elise live in their beautiful family home in Nazi-occupied Dordogne in France. Their story is told in separate chapters, highlighting not only the close bonds between them, but also how starkly different each one is in personality.
As they all find themselves entangled with the war in some way, Jefferies is able to weave the narrative to accurately depict the fear of the unknown, the constant distrust of others, as well as showing the increased presence of the resistance.
There is an added element of family history which is hinted at throughout and comes to light towards the end of the novel which adds an intriguing dimension.
Whether you're already a fan of the author or this is your first foray into one of her books, this is one not to be missed!
With thanks to Dinah Jefferies, Anne at Random Things Tours and Harper Collins Publishing for the opportunity to participate in the tour.

A Norwegian husband and wife team received this year's Nobel prize in medicine, it was announced on Monday in Stockholm.
May-Britt and Edvard Moser shared the prize with American-British John O'Keefe at the award ceremony of the Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden's capital.
The Moser couple are both professors of psychology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU - Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet), where they both lead their respective institutes.
Gunnar Bovim, NTNU principal, said: "This is not surprising. May-Britt and Edvard Moser are still early in their career for receiving this supreme scientific award."
John O'Keefe discovered the first part of this system in 1971. In 2005 the Norwegian couple found yet another piece of the puzzle when they discovered that cells in the human brain make up a coordination system contributing to the brain's sense of direction and understanding of spatial orientation.
Nobel prize winner May-Britt Moser locked herself into her office and started crying when the Swedish Nobel Institute called, reported news agency TT.
At 12.30pm on Monday she hadn't yet talked with her husband and fellow prize winner Edvard Moser who was on a plane to Munich.
When the phone call came from the Swedish Nobel Institute, Moser considered not accepting the call.
"I thought 'hmm, I don't recognise that number. Who is it?' And then I heard that it was Göran K. Hansson (Swedish Nobel secretary) and thought 'Help!'" she said.
Then May-Britt locked herself into her office and started to cry.
Meanwhile in Germany, Edvard Moser landed to a welcome party at Munich airport.
"I didn't know anything. When I got off the plane, a representative was standing there with a bouquet of flowers that read: 'Congratulations on the prize.'"
The Nobel Foundation was established in 1900, with total assets of more than 30 million kroner today.
Today, the foundation has more than 3 billion Swedish kroner in its reserves.
The annual return of the foundation's investments is divided in five and distributed among prize winners within physics, chemistry, medicine and literature, as well as the winner of the Peace prize.

Absynthe Minded is a Belgian rock band, around frontman, vocalist and guitarist Bert Ostyn. Their tracks contain a mix of thirties jazz, with a touch of funky soul, Balkan beats and Merseyside pop.

Absynthe Minded originally was a one-man band, being musician-singer-composer Bert Ostyn. He started off in 1999 with recording More Than This on 8-track in a 5 to 4 bedroom in Ghent, Belgium, with songs in a moderate rock genre.

The opportunity to record some material in a studio brought forth Mushroom Holiday (2000). On that demo other musicians collaborated with Ostyn for the first time, which led later on to the forming of a band called Tao Tse Tse. Ostyn's third demo, Krankenhaus Hotel, was recorded in a noisy apartment bedroom again, on a Tascam four track.

The first band-demo was called Sweet Oblivion (2002); the band itself was renamed Absynthe Minded Quartet. Under this name they toured on their own and as support act for several bands and artists (most notably Spinvis and Zita Swoon).

2003 saw the release of their first official effort, the History makes Science Fiction EP, released on the Keremos label. The musicians were the same as before: Renaud Ghilbert, Sergej van Bouwel and Jan Duthoy but were joined by drummer Jakob Nachtergaele, playing the drums and woodblocks on one song. 'Quartet' was dropped from the band's name.

Their debut full-length album, Acquired Taste, was released in 2004, on the Keremos label and EMI Belgium. It was produced by Geoffrey Burton.

New Day was recorded in the end of January 2005 and was produced by producer Jean-Marie Aerts. After touring Belgium and the Netherlands, they recorded 16 songs and released the album in March in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. That summer, New Day was also to be released in Portugal. From this album came Absynthe Minded's first single, "My Heroics, Part One", which gained much airplay.

In 2007 Absynthe Minded recorded their third album, There Is Nothing.

In August 2009, the album Absynthe Minded was released in Belgium and The Netherlands. The first two singles from the album were the tracks "Envoi" and "Moodswing Baby". In February 2010 at the Flemish Music Industry Awards they won prizes for Hit of the Year, best album, best rock/alternative and best band. After the release of Absynthe Minded the band was signed by the French Label AZ (Universal) for releases outside Belgium and The Netherlands. The album As It Ever Was was released in 2012.

In 2020 the band released the album called Riddle of the Sphinx. The current line-up comprises founding members Bert Ostyn on vocals and guitar, Sergej Van Bouwel on bass, and new members Simon Segers on drums, Toon Vlerick on guitar and Wouter Vlaeminck on keyboards and vocals.

You must have heard a whistle on the latest diesel cars. This sound, is quite tempting because the sound is very showing that the car is equipped with the latest technology.
The sound causes by turbo intercooler devices that are embedded in almost all diesel engines. Then, what is the use of turbocharger? what is the effect on the engine? and how does it work?
Turbocharger is a device used to maximize air supply into the engine during the intake stroke. It aims to get bigger engine power.
Turbocharger, already used on diesel engines for a long time. However, for now days turbo has produced with more upgrade. You must have encountered the label "VGT", "VNT", or "VCDI". All of it refers to the technology used on turbochargers.
What is the use of Turbocharger ?
We know that the power of the engine, depending to mass of air that flowing in to the combustion chamber. If the mass of air coming into the engine have much container, then the power will be high. However, to flow more air much need high engine capacity.
This is the turbocharger role, this device will compress the air into the cylinder room even with a small engine capacity. The result, it will be more air that filling inside the cylinder room without increasing the engine capacity. Thus, the power will also rise.
B. How Does Turbocharger Work ?
Turbo charger is like a turbo jet, there are two turbines located in one axis. The first turbine we called as a drive turbine because of its function as a drive section, while the second turbine we called a driven turbine because this will be driven by the first turbine.
The work principicle is like a compressor, when the turbine is spinning it will accelerate the airflow in either direction. In this case, the driven turbine is located mid of the intake air flow. Thus, when the turbine driven drives, the air inside the intake will flow faster toward the combustion chamber.
The question is, why is the turbine driven spinning? where is the power source ?
Apparently, the power source for spinning the driven turbine comes from the engine itself. Precisely on the exhaust gas, this waste gas still has residual energy in the form of gusts that are not small. If we put the turbine in the middle of the flow of exhaust gas, then the turbine will rotate with the speed according to the exhaust gases.
In this case, the turbine drive is placed inside the exhaust manifold and between the drive turbine and the driven turbine are also made in one axis. Thus, when the drive turbine spins, the turbine driven will also rotate to pump more air into the engine.
The higher engine RPM, the higher exhaust gas gusts. This makes the turbine spin faster, so it can be said the higher engine RPM, the greater air flow into the combustion chamber.
This is because the air molecules will be bigger if the temperature is high. In this case, the turbo device will be associated with high-temperature exhaust gases. Thus, if the air intake through the turbo surely the temperature increased.
The intercooler function is to lower the intake air temperature so that the molecule can be smaller, it make more molecules of air can enter the engine. This will make the engine power much higher.
Supercharger has a shape similar to the turbo, but the supercharger uses a engine pulley as a source of drive turbine (its not using exhaust gases, but using V belt). The advantage, the air temperature will be lower.
This turbocharger as described above, using a blast of engine exhaust gases. Although the temperature is higher, this type has a higher air flow.
Electric turbo type is the flexible one, because it can be placed anywhere and not inhibit engine power. Thus, the engine power can be higher.
If you still have any question about turbocharger, you can write it by leaving comments below.

Louisville City FC adds Bowling Green product Damir Beganovic to academy deal
Dominique Yates | Louisville Courier Journal
Lynn Family Stadium reopens in July for Louisville City FC soccer
ASM Global Louisville General Manager Eric Granger breaks down the safety measures heading into the start of the LouCity FC soccer season.
Dominique Yates, Louisville Courier Journal
In an effort to extend its reach across the state of Kentucky, Louisville City FC announced they have signed 16-year-old rising high school junior Damir Beganovic from Bowling Green, Ky. to an academy contract.
The midfielder will be eligible for action with LouCity heading into the restart of the 2020 USL Championship season the weekend of July 11-12, pending league and federation approval.
"Damir's a fantastic young player," said LouCity coach John Hackworth in a press release. "We feel like he has potential to play at a much higher level. Therefore, we wanted to offer him an academy contract so he could both train and potentially play with the first team."
Beganovic came up through the BG Elite club and is a standout on his Warren Central High School squad that won a region championship last fall. He earned all-state honors.
Beganovic also competed as part of LouCity's first Academy Cup team from Feb. 14-17, when the squad won two of its three games and he scored a goal in a victory over the Pittsburgh Riverhounds.
"My main goal is to get to be a professional with the first team," Beganovic said in the release. "A lot of people are happy for me, especially my family. They just don't want me to think because I got an amateur contract that I made it already. They want me to keep going."
Beganovic joins forward Elijah Wynder and goalkeeper Muamer Ugarak as members of LouCity's roster with academy deals. Per the USL Academy agreement, these players retain amateur status and NCAA eligibility.
"First and foremost, I want to congratulate Damir and his family for this tremendous opportunity," said Evan Sutherland, director of BG Elite in the release. "When I moved to Bowling Green four years ago, I told the families that my goal was to help players to develop to the highest level, and our goal was to help develop professional players and one day a national team player.
"Damir's tireless hard work on and off the field are a testament to his character, his drive and his dreams. On behalf of BG Elite, we are excited to see him take this next step in his life and career."

Beganovic plans to move to Louisville and live with a host family.
"He's someone we have a lot of belief in," said Mario Sanchez, LouCity's director of youth development. "Damir has potential to represent the first team as we grow the club and see where it takes him.
"We're reaching the whole state of Kentucky, not just the Louisville area. We're interested in giving kids a chance throughout the region. We believe in the kids in our state. We want to help each player reach their potential and hopefully play for the LouCity first team in the future."
Beganovic will wear No. 45 with LouCity's first team. Sanchez said the new signee is also expected to join LouCity's Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) U19 roster when play resumes.

Ways of operating from the retail food sector are invariably changing. This is especially valid from the supermarket space. Today's informed individuals are increasingly demanding quality, fresh, and innovative foods. Additionally, these consumers also demand convenience be served together with these first-rate products.
1. Locally sourced products. It is a considering that products sourced locally will probably be on supermarket shelves plus supermarket counters quicker. Same-day produce and dairy deliveries from local suppliers ensure customers receive their best foods fresher.
Furthermore, today's savvy consumers want to know wherever their foods are received from. This gives these to quickly trace their goods origins if and when they experience any difficulty with them. Hence, locally sourced will be the new idea, which food retailers are stored on board with in order to meet customer demands.
Artisan in-store bakeries (with products baked fresh daily) will provide breads and also other goods with unbleached flour and healthy grain. Specialized departments emphasizing all-natural products are quitting products containing MSG. Moreover, they're offering consumers' wishes for low-sodium, low or no sugar, plus gluten-free products.
3. Clean food. Clients are demanding 'cleaner' food. This means products with limited ingredients. Nonetheless, these limited ingredients has to be first-rate, without additives and preservatives. Consumers wish to understand how their fruits and vegetables are grown and processed. They wish to know whether or not the meat they buy is grain or grass-fed and whether or not this contains antibiotics or chemicals. Supermarkets are increasingly stocking foods that meet consumers' needs during these areas.

Adolescence is a unique period of brain development. The brain systems that drive emotional responses and risk taking mature faster than the executive function systems that regulate them. Many of the behaviors typically associated with adolescence, such as risk taking and experimentation with drugs and alcohol, are due to this development. Simply, the normal process of adolescent brain development is to make risky choices for a period of time, then to grow out of it.
A dual strategy of risk reduction and promotion of protective factors through an intentional positive youth development approach holds the greatest promise as a public health strategy toward achieving Zero Youth Detention. Understanding adolescent brain development, protective factors, and the role of resilience is key to upstream prevention efforts for youth.
This objective recognizes partnership between youth and families, schools and communities, and the County is needed to enhance positive youth development and help position the youth on a healthy life course.

Q: Entire functions of exponential  type with small $L^1$ norm outside a finite real interval I'm interested in entire functions of exponential type $\sigma$ (Bernstein space $B_\sigma^1$) following
$$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} |f(x)|dx=1,$$
whose norm is as small as possible outside a range $[-A,A]$, or even attain the minimum of
$$\int_{|x|>A} |f(x)|dx$$
Is there any result in the bibliography about this problem? If not, a numerical method to approximately obtain such $f$ would be helpful.

Very popular with First Time Buyers, Cashback mortgages usually offer a fixed amount or a percentage of the mortgage that will be paid to you on completion.
This is ideal to cover costs such as Stamp Duty or Solicitors costs, however cashback mortgages aren't as attractive as they look.
Cashback mortgages usually have either higher fee's or interest rates and you will usually find cheaper deals without the cashback. If you are in need of a lump sum ready to move, then seriously consider a cashback mortgage.
