Q: How to add bearer token authentication to typed HttpClient in Asp.Net Core 6 I'm trying to setup a web api using ASP.Net Core 6 so that users can hit my end points and then I do some work in D365 behind the scenes using a privileged account. I'm using a typed HTTP Client, but I'm not sure how to plugin the bearer authentication so that all the requests from this client have the correct Authorization header attached.
Program.cs
builder.Services.AddHttpClient<D365Service>();

D365Service.cs
private readonly HttpClient httpClient;

public D365Service(HttpClient httpClient)
{
  this.httpClient = httpClient;

  this.httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Accept", "*/*");
  this.httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Accept-Encoding", "gzip, deflate, br");
  // a whole bunch of other headers
  // Is this where I can add in the bearer Authorization header? How do I generate that token?
}

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

A: To add the token to your httpclinet
you should use the following code
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer",accessToken);

How do I generate that token

as @DiplomacyNotWar explained in his comment you should be able to generate that token by following the instructions of the service you are connecting to
Some services will share user name and password ( app Id & secret Key ) and you could use this to set your basic Authentication then you will be able to call your token end point that return the access token that you will be able to use it with your httpclinet
Regards,

A: I know 2 ways to add token to HttpClient. But I don't know what's the difference between them
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " + #YourToken);

And
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", #YourToken);

they work well. but I think they will have something different. if you know, please show me

On Monday a Turkish police officer posing as a member of a security detail walked up behind the Russian ambassador to Turkey and shot him in the back at an art gallery in Ankara.
As ambassador Andrei Karlov lay dying on the floor the gunman shouted "Don't forget Aleppo! Don't forget Syria!" The image was captured in photos and video and shared around the world. The gunman injured several others before he was killed by police.
Since Russia entered the Syrian civil war they have claimed they're only bombing terrorists. Others, including the United States, have accused Vladimir Putin of using his bombs not to attack terrorists, but to prop up Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, and killing thousands of civilians. What may complicate matters is that the terrorists may be on the side supported by the United States.
Turkey is not a safe place. Earlier this year they experienced a so-called coup attempt which many claim their president staged to build his support and to punish his enemies. They've had three major terror attacks within the last ten days which has followed a month of violence. This is a NATO nation that doesn't resemble one.
While there's no justification for terrorism or the killing of diplomats, Putin can find the source of this world-wide scorn in his own mirror. You can't drop bombs on babies and not expect a backlash. The U.S. has some experience in this area.
Turkey wasn't the only site of terrorism on Monday. Three people were injured at a Muslim prayer center in Zurich, Switzerland, and at least 12 were killed at a Christmas market in Berlin, Germany.
As our next president forges a closer relationship to Russia and perhaps Syria, we may expect some of this backlash to be directed toward us. I wonder where terrorists wishing to make a statement against an American president can find targets throughout the world where there are numerous buildings bearing his name.

Carlos Sainz arrives at Hockenheim: "I've prepared with plenty of time in the simulator"
Madrid, July 27th 2016.- It's time for the last stage of the 'tour de force' that is Formula 1's month of July, with four races in only five weeks being the German Grand Prix the closer chapter to them. Carlos Sainz arrives at Hockenheim as a newcomer at the Drivers' Championship Top 10 with 30 points to his name.
Formula 1 didn't race in Deutschland in 2015, so for Carlos it is going to be his first visit to the country as a driver in the series. It isn't his first race there, as it was precisely in Hockenheim where he contested in his very first Formula 3 race, back in 2011. Today, his goals are very different than then. Now the driver from Scuderia Toro Rosso will be fighting to extend the points-streak he has carried over the past events, having scored points in six of the last seven (Baku is the exception, as he retired there with mechanical issues).
Hockenheim is one of the oldest races in the calendar. Its first appearance dates back to 1970 and since then has hosted a total of 34 German Grand Prixes. There was a time when it used to be one of the fastest venues in the calendar, known for its ever-long straights that crossed the Bden-Wurtemberg forests. It was modified in 2002 and now it combines high-speed turns with slow ones, such as the Mercedes Arena.
Pirelli will bring the medium, the soft and the supersoft compound, the same compounds as seen in last week's Hungarian Grand prix. Toro Rosso has chosen the same allocation for his two drivers: one set of mediums, four softs and eight supersofts.
These are Carlos' first impressions ahead of the German Grand Prix, which this year celebrates its 90th anniversary.
"We arrive at Germany in full form, feeling satisfied with the last results and working flat-out to carry on the same way this weekend, which is the last one before the summer break. This will be the first time I drive the Hockenheim circuit in a Formula 1 car and I'm looking forward to it. I've prepared well with plenty of time on the simulator, which has given me a good idea of what to expect. We have McLaren very close in the Constructors' Championship, but we'll give our very best to keep them at bay.
Free Practice for the German Grand Prix will commence on Friday, 29th July, but Carlos will talk to the press on Thursday at 16:00 Spanish time. We will follow his media day via www.carlosainz.es and our Twitter account @carlosainzinfo.


Everybody has baked products virtually every day namely, biscuits, buns, breads and cookies. This is an earliest kind of cooking mankind has witnessed. A lot of the food might be baked and a few need special care and attention.
Everything starts with the dough. Most of them bakery products for instance bread, bun are acquired from baking of dough. Plus it ends with tasty and crunchy biscuits and cookies. Today baking has become any essential part of food style including various ways like boiling and frying. In addition to question arises what's between dough and cookies, the process involved as well as the equipment used. Usage of Machineries and equipment help in maintaining quality consistency in finished products. Let us possess a consider different equipment available to relieve the baking process.
This kneaded mixes the appropriate ingredients for dough with a fine tilth to arrange pizza, roti, samosa, breads, bun and biscuits.
The mixer may be used to grind and blend the grains and masala and make certain uniform distribution of ingredients inside the mix making the dough a perfect blend.
This is often a specialized kind of machinery to extract flavours from spice blends, onion, chillies and wet mixes and masala.
Potato is finest selling vegetable on the market and used broadly. Potato peeling can be a work intensive work. To help relieve peeling, this is a specialized peeling machine.
Another time-consuming and work intensive tasks are vegetable cutting which sophisticated machine will help you with standard cuts superiority vegetables. With quantity of blades, the vegetables might be reduce different shapes and sizes.
This machine helps growing efficiency and consistency by flattening dough by repeated pressing into thin crusts. This machine frequently presses the dough sheets one within the other.
This commercial oven is when the baking process i.e from dough to bread by continuous method of getting dry heat. You can use them to arrange rusks, breads, buns, biscuits and cookies.
Namkeen is certainly a part of Indian food. This machine is built to match the perfection of Indian namkeen preparation of varied sizes and cuts.
Slicing of bread in uniform slices could be the tedious work. This machinery is built to get perfect and equally sized slices of bread.
Meat slicer machine is built to prepare the slices of meat which are found in burgers and pizzas. It is built to be an intricate machine ensures perfect cuts.
Meat is ingested in minced form since traditional occasions which machinery was produced which is being transported to prepare minces of meat.
Pizza can be a baked product. Specialized machinery designed to prepare pizza to bake the pizza dough base and toppings along with a conveyor belt.
Chapatti or roti is an essential part of Indian food and preparing them is labor intensive and time-consuming. To relieve the technique of making chapattis, this machinery is built to perfectly prepare chapattis.

Birmingham is on the brink of a transport revolution. It is a city whose very identity has been shaped by the various modes of transport that have, throughout history, been designed to help people get into and around the region. From Spaghetti Junction to a canal-network that could rival Venice, and now more recently the expansion of Birmingham International Airport and the imminent arrival of HS2, Birmingham's mobility network has long been evolving to meet the needs of its people.
However, Birmingham's city transport network is far from perfect. As more and more people and business are attracted to Birmingham, congestion is becoming a major issue in the city centre. New Street station is the busiest outside of London and, with the road network almost at breaking point, getting around Birmingham and the West Midlands can be a real challenge.
Fast forward ten years, and Birmingham could be a very different place. As a region, we understand what needs to change if Birmingham and the wider region is to fulfil its 'Midlands Engine' potential. Being able to boost our regional productivity relies on a fully functioning transport system, and plans are already very much in place to transform our region. With a regional connectivity programme, metro extension and Midlands Connect plans all underway, the blueprint is on the table.
But unfortunately it's not as simple as that. While we have billions of pounds of new transport improvements planned, along with enhancements and new schemes all in the pipeline, the real question is whether we actually have the capability and capacity to deliver?
Let's be clear; this isn't about funding. Thanks to the devolution deal we have the money in place for connectivity plans. Network Rail has major investment plans for the region, Highways England has significant funding, and delivery plans for the HS2 Curzon Street station are all in place. There is a clear line of sight to the cash.
The bigger issue is how we can realise all of this potential. The shortage of labour and skills is a very real problem and there needs to be a much better join-up between new sources of funding and skills development. The education system has to be better aligned to our vision for Birmingham's transport future. There is a pipeline of work for many years to come and, if the skills agenda is better aligned to demand, this will give people a clear view towards a long-term, genuinely rewarding career path.
With all of the transport and mobility improvements planned in and around Birmingham and the West Midlands region, one of the biggest priorities needs to be ensuring that the network doesn't freeze up.
The city currently hangs on a knife-edge of congestion. Any disruption brings with it the potential for the whole of the West Midlands to become gridlocked. With HS2 carving through many existing road networks, the delivery of new transport infrastructure needs to be very carefully managed to make sure our region keeps moving.
The key lies in co-ordination. Highways England, the Local Authority, Combined Authorities and highways and transport providers all need to be better and more closely co-ordinated. Individually these groups are doing amazing things for transport in our region. However, by acting in relative silo's the risk is that regional transport systems could still come grinding to a halt simply as a result of ongoing construction and engineering works, despite best efforts to achieve the exact opposite result in the longer term.
Ultimately, if we can solve the delivery challenge then the opportunity for Birmingham is there for the taking. We have a chance to do things differently and improve our public transport and mobility networks not only for the benefit of the community, but in a way that will see Birmingham become a major national and international economic player well into the future.

Shellshocked: Are You Prepared?
Oct 17, 2014 | Cybersecurity | 0 |
As HTM departments scramble to address the "Bash bug," cybersecurity experts warn there's much more to come
By Chris Hayhurst
The news, Chris Peters recalls, arrived in an advisory from the University of Michigan's Information and Infrastructure Assurance (IIA) division. "A security vulnerability was announced today that requires immediate remediation," the notice, from September 24, began. "Please read…to see if servers for which you are responsible are affected and take action if appropriate."
Peters, a clinical engineer in the biomedical engineering department at UM Hospitals and Health Systems, did as he was asked. "A vulnerability in Bash," the notice continued, "could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on a server, which could result in exposure of sensitive information or negative impact to critical services…. Any service running on a system with a vulnerable version of Bash may be susceptible to attack." And then, ominously, "widespread exploitation is expected to occur quickly."
The advisory, explaining that affected systems included anything running on Linux, Apple, or other Unix-based operating systems, recommended applying vendor patches to those systems as soon as possible, but also noted that, "IIA will not be scanning campus networks to identify vulnerable systems because a reliable method for remotely detecting" such systems was not available.
This, Peters remembers thinking, was a problem. "I mean, you look around, and there is equipment everywhere that may or may not be vulnerable—physiological monitors, ultrasound machines, tablet computers" being used to interface with medical equipment through the wireless network. "The big question for me was, and still is, What equipment does this affect? Is it just a few devices? Or is it a lot more than we might think? And if there is an attack, what could it do to our network?"
A "Nasty" Bug
Chances are, like Peters, you've already been briefed on the "Shellshock" bug. First made public in an alert by the Department of Homeland Security's US Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT), Shellshock, or the "Bash Bug," is a security vulnerability in Bash, a computer program in Unix-based operating systems that allows users to enter and execute commands. Because the flaw is so easy to take advantage of, and because exploitation could, as software security company Trend Micro put it, "do significant widespread damage," the National Institute of Standards and Technology has given the bug a 10 out of 10 rating on its vulnerability-severity scale. "It's really very nasty," notes Axel Wirth, a healthcare cybersecurity expert at Symantec Corp. If it's exploited—in a healthcare environment or elsewhere—"the attacker can take full control of a system."
Mike Ahmadi, global director of medical security at Internet security firm Codenomicon, adds that the Bash Bug is "interesting," mainly because it's so ubiquitous. "It really affects an enormous number of Linux systems, and Linux is very popular for a lot of applications in healthcare." Web servers, routers, firewalls, and embedded medical devices with connections to the Internet are most vulnerable, Ahmadi says. Building systems like HVACs, elevator controls, and refrigeration units may also be affected.
Other industries that depend on Unix-based operating systems in their day-to-day affairs may simply deploy the recommended patches that were released almost immediately after the flaw was announced. In healthcare, however—and as Peters has seen at the University of Michigan—it's not always so simple.
"There are a couple of problems," Ahmadi says. "First, there's no easy way to know which devices and systems are affected. The FDA tracks things like food ingredients, but they don't track which versions of operating systems are included in the medical devices that they approve." Certain versions of Linux have the Bash Bug, while other versions do not. And while "any good manufacturer should know which version of Linux is in their device," Ahmadi says, because reporting is not mandated, that information may be hard to obtain.
"If you're a device manufacturer, patching an OS is a big, big deal." Manufacturers must test any patch extensively before issuing it to ensure it won't cause a device to malfunction or fail, he explains. Then, once they have made a patch available, warranty limitations may prevent end users from applying that patch on their own. "The bottom line is, if it's a medical device you're worried about, there's very little that you can do quickly." (When representatives at GE Healthcare were asked how they were addressing potential Shellshock vulnerabilities in their medical devices, they referred to a written statement posted on the GE "Security and Compliance" page: "We are actively monitoring our data security systems in response to [the Bash Bug], and are taking swift action where necessary.")
If your department already practices good inventory management, remediation may be a relatively straightforward process. As Wirth points out, "any asset-management system should include information on the operating-system versions used in the devices on your network, and that should allow you to look up, typically on the support website of the vendor, whether that version is affected, whether it should be patched, or whether they recommend other security measures." And if you can't find that information online? "Then you should pick up the phone and call the vendor."
Most noncritical systems (what Wirth describes as "standard IT components"), like web servers, print servers, and internal routers and firewalls that aren't used directly in patient care, are typically easy to patch and don't require close vendor oversight. Patch these systems immediately, Wirth says. Devices that cannot be patched easily, on the other hand, should be safe—at least temporarily—behind the standard protections provided by your facility's network-security architecture. Best practices, Wirth notes, include the use of firewalls and "segmenting off [vulnerable devices] in protected VLAN networks." And traffic monitoring is key. "If a device is attacked, you want to know about it." (The Symantec blog post, "How to Prevent Your Data from Getting Shellshocked," lists more intrusion-prevention strategies; and a list of Linux vendors that have issued security advisories is here.)
Unfortunately, Wirth says, Shellshock will likely be remembered as just one bug on a long list of high-profile flaws "fundamentally inherent to software infrastructure." We'll inevitably hear news, as we did with Heartbleed, of Bash-related system breaches and data pilfering in the months ahead. And the next vulnerability? Don't blink, because it's already here. "This," Wirth predicts, "is just the beginning."

Suspected cult members have killed a middle-aged man, simply identified only as Aniyikaye, in the Owoope area of Osogbo.
Sources in the area told our correspondent that the entire neighborhood was in panic when the assailants, who were armed with different weapons, attacked the victim, who was alleged to be a member of another cult.
A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said a police van which arrived at the scene after the attackers fled, took Aniyikaye's corpse away.
It was gathered that after the killing, 10 suspected cultists were reportedly arrested during raids on black spots in Osogbo, the state capital, by men of the Amotekun Corps and the Joint Task Force.
During the raid, a suspect, who allegedly engaged the team in a gun duel, was shot in the leg.
A security source privy to the operation said the raid was carried out after the killing in the Owo-Ope area.
He said, "Our intention is to rid the state of crime. One of the cultists was also injured after he violently attacked us. He is receiving treatment at a hospital now."

The official Inauguration of The Knowledge Hub Universities
Minister of Higher Education inaugurates "The Knowledge Hub Universities" and "Coventry University Branch" in NAC
Dr. Abdel-Ghaffar issues approval to start academic year according to presidential decree to establish "The Knowledge Hub Universities" and "Coventry University Branch" in Egypt
Cairo, Egypt, 22nd September 2019: In what can be perceived as a qualitative leap towards comprehensive development of the higher education system in Egypt, Dr. Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, inaugurated on Sunday the campus of "The Knowledge Hub Universities" established by El Sewedy Education at the New Administrative Capital (NAC). "The Knowledge Hub Universities" hosts "Coventry University Branch".
The inauguration ceremony was attended by the University's top management and academic staff, in addition to Chairman of El Sewedy Education, Engineer Ahmed El Sewedy, and Vice-Chancellor of Coventry University, Professor John Latham.
During his inspection tour of the campus, Dr. Abdel Ghaffar praised the quality of execution in establishing this educational edifice that offers modern ways of interactive student activities backed with well-equipped buildings and facilities.
The minister also stressed that Egypt is now witnessing unprecedented progress in higher education due to the establishment of new educational institutions in addition to the development of the already established entities. Moreover, the educational field in Egypt has become more welcoming of branches of international universities that bring the best educational curricula worldwide to Egyptian students.
On another related note, Eng. Ahmed El Sewedy stated: "Our main objective of establishing "The Knowledge Hub Universities" is to keep abreast of all the updates and advancements in the world of modern sciences, and provide unprecedented educational services in line with Egypt's vision for sustainable development 2030. Through such steps we will be capable of equipping the Egyptian students with the latest scientific skills that qualify them to compete in different labour markets and uphold the highest degree of excellence over the professional and scientific levels."
Ministry of Higher Education was closely following up with the daily work details within the university campus and all its logistics. The Ministry has also overseen the preparations at the scientific laboratories, ensuring their conformity with the specifications and requirements of safety as well as the technical and international standards followed at the parent university.
Eng. El Sewedy elaborated that partnerships with international educational universities have become a necessity rather than an option, which has led El Sewedy Education to collaborate with Coventry University to be among the first to join "The Knowledge Hub".El Sewedy explained that the choice of this university was made after meticulous study of myriad institutions with prominent track of scientific and academic achievement. Coventry University has proven to be the perfect fit for this collaboration as it was ranked among the best universities in the UK according the Guardian University Guide 2020.
Coventry University Vice-Chancellor, Professor John Latham CBE, said: "I am extremely pleased to welcome our new learners to The Knowledge Hub, where we are excited to be contributing the teaching expertise and innovative learning environment we've become known for around the world.
''As we continue the expansion of our global outreach and student exchange programmes, this new alliance in Egypt will further strengthen our ties with peer organisations internationally."
President of "The Knowledge Hub Universities", Professor Mahmoud Allam, stressed that the students will study the same curricula as those in the parent university, which will enable them to receive the same certification as the students abroad and even gives them the opportunity to study in the parent university campus. Professor Allam also added that the academic staff of Coventry University Branch have been chosen according to the standards and conditions of the parent university.
Finally, CEO of El Sewedy Education, Mr. Ihab Salama, seconded the statements by stressing that the students will receive top-notch educational services that will prepare them for a promising future.

Jason Medeiros (born August 22, 1989, in Hamilton, Ontario) is a Canadian football offensive lineman most recently for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League. He was signed as an undrafted free agent on March 28, 2013.

After the 2011 CIS season, he was ranked as the tenth best player in the Canadian Football League's Amateur Scouting Bureau January rankings for players eligible in the 2012 CFL Draft, and seventh by players in Canadian Interuniversity Sport. He is a graduate of St. Thomas More Catholic Secondary School in Hamilton and played CIS football with the McMaster Marauders and was a part of their 2011 Vanier Cup championship.

Also in 2011, Medeiros was part of the Canada roster that got the silver medal in the World Championship.

Medeiros was named a CIS All-Canadian in 2012. After going undrafted, he participated of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats training camp before returning to McMaster. He helped the Marauders reach their second consecutive Vanier Cup finals, reprising the previous year match against Laval Rouge et Or. This time, they would lose.

In March 2013, Medeiros signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats as a free agent. He was released in June without a single appearance in a CFL official game.

How is the Kentucky Bill of Sale the Happy Bridge Between a Seller and a Buyer?
Don't you want to sell your personal property legally to avoid legal setbacks later on or false accusations? How about you, the interested buyer, wouldn't you want full ownership of the used car, laptop, dog, horse, boat, gun, or furniture you are planning to buy?
While some sellers and buyers fail to establish a happy ground in the transaction and the subsequent transfer of ownership, most parties get to avoid problems in the sale or purchase of personal assets thanks to a document called a bill of sale.
As described above, it's a middle ground and also a proof of ownership. And, you guessed it right; it puts smiles on the faces of the seller and the buyer the day of the sale's completion, and years after the purchase.
To be specific, a bill of sale is a legally binding document drawn by a seller to recognize the sale of the item in question and to facilitate the transfer of ownership. You have to fill out our free Kentucky bill of sale forms to kickstart the process. This document is only complete upon signing by the buyer and the seller. Like other legal documents, this proof of sale document, also called a BOS, recognizes two parties: the seller and the buyer.
Since the BOS represents the conditions for the sale of different items, all states have different types of BOS which have small or big differences.
But, before we look at these documents and how you can make them legal and complete in Kentucky, here are the general features of all the BOS. Also, note that as per February 2018, the state of Kentucky doesn't recognize notarization as the process of making the BOS legal.
Seller and buyer information: This includes the full legal names of the buyer and the seller. This information also included the full addresses of the parties involved – the state, city, and the zip code. The driver's license numbers or the state identification numbers are also necessary. These details are crucial in the identification of the seller, or the buyer should the item on sale get lost or if it's stolen and identification or proof of ownership is required.
Item description: this has the technical and the unique attributes of the item on sale.
Dates. Date it is created and the date that the final payment is expected from the buyer. The other important date for any BOS in the state of Kentucky and our free bill of sale form in Kentucky is the date that the seller and the buyer confirm the sale or purchase of the specific item.
Purchase, trade or gift: the BOS should indicate whether the BOS is finalizing the sale of an asset for money, trade with another item, or if the buyer is receiving the item on sale as a gift.
The price of the item on sale. For all the documents, the price should be indicated first in words and then in numbers.
The seller's disclosure: This is an important provision in the BOS. The disclosure serves as an official certification which informs the buyer that the item on sale either has listed defects or that it's free of defects. This was, it will be noted that the buyer knew what they were getting into when buying that item. The disclosure also protects the seller from any liability after the sale is finalized.
Signatures: all Kentucky proof of sale documents must be signed and dated against the names of the buyer and the seller.
Although you cannot use a BOS for a motor vehicle in place of a title, the BOS is an essential document which proves that the buyer possesses the car even before they register the car with the DMV. At the same time, you need a BOS as a record for taxation purposes, and protection should the buyer abandon the vehicle or fails to register it within the stipulated time.
Besides the names, signatures and the addresses of the buyer and the seller, and the vehicle's identification number, the model, make, year, and the date of sale, the odometer readings are necessary. The odometer figures should also be accurate. The state also requires the signature or the acknowledgment of the notary public for its validity.
This is the document used to prove the sale and the transfer of ownership of personal property, including household items from a seller to a buyer. Some of the items whose ownership rights and interests can be sold from one person to another include phones, laptops, gym equipment, furniture, a bicycle, among others.
The most important thing here is the description of the BOS which should have the registration number or the serial number of the item on sale, its make, model, year, size, shape, and the color, to name a few. Note that you should note down the description of a television or a laptop as an electronic device in the BOS.
Other than the general information above, the BOS for guns requires specific information like the firearm's serial number, the caliber, its make, and the model. Note that trades are common in sales involving guns hence the need for the inclusion of the details of the item traded for the gun.
To get this and other types of BOS documentation, fill one of our free bill of sale forms available online and downloadable from any city in the state of Kentucky.


The movement towards natural textures and materials in the home is also about creating a welcome retreat from hectic, modern life. Whether it's bringing greenery indoors or experimenting with wood finishing, this trend works across many styles and homes- from rustic and tropical to airy and Scandanavian.
Ochre pairs beautifully with other natural textures and finishes, from warm woods to rough linens. Ochre can range in depth, from light creams too full-blown mustard shades and rich, deep yellows.

Q: Clickatell Cannot route message to Google Voice When I use clickatell to send sms messages to my google voice account it returns:
ERR: 114, Cannot route message
I am based in USA and sending to a local USA google voice number. So this is not international sms?
Has anyone came across this problem before and if so what was the resolution?
Thanks!

A: I finally got an answer from Clickatell Tier 1 Consultant:
"Unfortunately we do not cover Google Voice numbers.

Please refer to the following link, to view which mobile operators we cover:

http://americas.clickatell.com/pricing-coverage/small-business-api/

The reason the error 114 does not appear in the reports is because it fails
on an API level, which means it fails before we can select an upstream supplier
to deliver a text message, therefore an API message I.D is not generated."

Mikael Karlsson, född i Karlstad 1969, är agronom och docent i miljövetenskap, miljökonsult och krönikör. Han var tidigare ordförande för Svenska Naturskyddsföreningen och European Environmental Bureau, Sveriges och Europas största miljöorganisationer. Han arbetar sedan mars 2021 som universitetslektor i klimatledarskap på Institutionen för geovetenskaper på Uppsala universitet.

Biografi
Mikael Karlsson har en agronomexamen (MSc agriculture) vid Karlstads universitet, där han 1995 blev adjunkt i miljövetenskap och var ämnesföreträdare 1998–2000.

Karlsson disputerade 2005 på Karlstads universitet, med en avhandling om hantering av komplexa miljörisker och blev Fil Dr i miljö- och energisystem. Avhandlingen undersökte strategier och styrmedel som försiktighetsprincipen för att hantera komplexa miljörisker karaktäriserade av vetenskaplig osäkerhet och konflikter i samhället, med genmodifierade organismer och farliga kemikalier som fallstudier.

Verksamhet vid Södertörns högskola
Mellan 2005 och 2014 var Karlsson verksam med miljöforskning vid Södertörns Högskola. Han deltog där i fem fleråriga forskningsprojekt. Projektet "Regulation of Chemicals in the Baltic Sea Area - Science, Politics and the Media" studerade hur farliga kemiska ämnen hanteras i vetenskap, politik och lagstiftning samt media och rapporterades bland annat i en antologi utgiven av Springer. Karlsson medverkade med bland annat tre vetenskapliga artiklar om hur expertgrupper samt olika politiska och rättsliga strategier försöker hantera farliga kemikalier. Karlsson var även med om att utforma och genomföra forskningsprojektet "Environmental Risk Governance of the Baltic Sea", som rapporterats i AMBIO och i en antologi utgiven av Springer.. Ett tredje projekt var "Chemicals in Textiles: Managing Health and Environmental Risks of Products with Complex Product Chains", där Karlsson bidrog med flera publikationer. Karlsson medverkade även i projekten "Cooperating for Sustainable Marine Governance" och "Marine Spatial Planning in the Baltic Sea Region – Integrating Scales, Sectors and Knowledge".

Verksamhet vid KTH
Mellan 2014 och 2021 var han docent i miljövetenskap (KTH) vid avdelningen för filosofi på KTH, där han främst varit verksam inom ramen för projektet "Mind the Gap", som undersökte varför det finns gap mellan miljömål och miljötillstånd. Projektet ledde till publikationer om vetenskapsförnekelse rörande miljögifter och i klimatfrågor samt om beslutsfattande på miljöområdet, bland annat om fördröjningsmekanismer i vetenskap och politik, klimatpolitik under osäkerhet, samt sidonyttor i klimatpolitiken. Karlsson leder även ett projekt om ekologisk kompensation.

Verksamhet vid Uppsala universitet
Karlsson arbetar sedan mars 2021 som universitetslektor i klimatledarskap på Institutionen för geovetenskaper på Uppsala universitet.

I sin forskning intresserar sig Karlsson för frågor om hållbarhet, vetenskap och politik utifrån en transdisciplinär]ansats, och fokuserar på strategier för hållbar utveckling i politik och näringsliv, särskilt på hantering av olika komplexa miljöproblem. Till dessa hör exempelvis klimatförändringar, spridning av miljögifter och förluster av biologisk mångfald, med kopplingar till såväl energi- och transportsystem som jordbruk, skogsbruk, fiske och industri. Karlsson har bland annat publicerat studier om klimatförnekelse, vetenskapsförnekelse i andra miljöfrågor och beslutsfattande i klimatpolitik.

Statliga uppdrag
Karlsson har sedan 1990-talets slut innehaft en rad expertuppdrag inom miljöområdet, utsedd av regeringen, Europeiska kommissionen eller andra organisationer. Han är idag bland annat ledamot i Skogsstyrelsens styrelse och i Kärnavfallsrådet och han satt under flera år i Insynsrådet vid Kemikalieinspektionen. Karlsson har deltagit i arbetet i flera statliga utredningar inom miljöområdet, bland annat om miljöbalken, kemikaliepolitiken och vargpolitiken. Han har även varit medlem i olika så kallade högnivågrupper vid Europeiska kommissionen, om exempelvis klimatfrågor, kemiindustri, resurseffektivitet och energiintensiv industri.

Övrigt
Sedan 1995 undervisar Mikael Karlsson om miljöfrågor vid olika högskolor och universitet både i och utanför Sverige, bland annat på Karlstads universitet, Södertörns högskola, KTH och Uppsala universitet. Han har bland annat utvecklat och arrangerat en lång rad kurser inom det miljövetenskapliga området i Sverige, i några fall med kursverksamhet förlagd till Östafrika och Baltikum. Han har genom åren medverkat med krönikor och debattartiklar i bland annat Aktuell hållbarhet, Klimatmagasinet Effekt, Miljö&Utveckling och Karlstads-Tidningen.

Josh Geddis
Josh Geddis is a Canadian Singer/Songwriter making music out of Bayfield, Ontario. He has released two full-length albums: NIGHTS (June 2014) and YELLOW TENT (2008). Over the past several years he has shared the stage with the likes of: Joel Plaskett, Serena Ryder, Jason Collett, John Mann (of Spirit of the West), Billy the Kid and many more.
Current Band Members (depending on the weather):
Matt Weston: Percussion and Bass Pad when needed
Robert Breen: Bass Guitar
Jessica Langan: Backing Vocals and Trumpet
Jillien Regier: Backing Vocals and Keys
Kevin Kennedy: Slide Guitar, Electric Guitar, Banjo
Mikey Chuck Rivers: Guitar
Todd Phipps: Honorary Band Member (organist living in Mt. Horeb WI.).
ABOUT THE NEW ALBUM:
Nights by Josh Geddis was recorded with the intention of putting the feel back into recorded music. Having rehearsed with his band and performed many of the songs that make up this album, the decision was made to record as much of it as possible live off the floor. The first song tracked was Had To Go, a completely live recording of four people covering three vocal parts, two guitar parts, keyboard, and trumpet. Following the success of this track, six more of the eight tunes were recorded over a two day period, which formed the foundation of the album as a whole. Drums, bass, acoustic guitar, and lap steel were all done live as a band, in a room together, without a click track. The music breathes, there is ebb and flow, loud and soft, light and shade. It's a dynamic, energetic, and soulful approach to recording a folk based singer/songwriter album and we couldn't be more proud of the result. - Matt Weston (recording and mix engineer on Nights)
HURON COUNTY NEWS AT ITS FINEST
HEART OF HURON #5
by Ivan Raczycki (2013)
Small town-hospitality at its finest! I'm being treated to a barbecue dinner at the home of Bayfield-based musician Josh Geddis, when I request the man to simplify his music to one, simplified genre signifier. "It's acoustic folk," he says, before adding, "but not too folky, and not limited to just an acoustic guitar and singing." You can hear a singer-songwriter intimacy in the insular moments of his quieter numbers, yet when backed by a full-band or even on his lonesome, Geddis has a defiantly roots-rock attitude, with foot-stomping and bleacher-reaching vocal performance intact. If he's one thing, he's hard to pin down.
Originally hailing from Strathroy, Ontario, Josh Geddis made his first marks in London, Ontario, touring the bar-band scene while in high school and playing bass in a few full-fledged ska groups in university. After 2005's demo EP "Fairytale Ashes of a Simpler Life," Geddis self-released his debut solo record "Yellow Tent" in 2008. That same year, he began teaching the music program at St. Anne's Catholic Secondary School in Clinton.
So far in Huron County, so good. "The small-town appreciation for music and art is a complete positive experience," Geddis says, "You never leave a gig thinking 'that person's a jerk!'" Since moving to Bayfield, Geddis has found himself on some enviable gigs, performing before Serena Ryder at the Goderich Out of the Storm benefit concert and opening for national touring acts like Broken Social Scene's Jason Collet and, most recently, folk-rock hero Joel Plaskett, a personal career milestone of Geddis'. "When you're in Bayfield and you see a band that has flown from Halifax to be there, that's pretty cool," he says.
Though Geddis has had success with performances in London and Toronto, the latter of which he's played two simultaneous showcases at the annual NXNE Festival, he finds an equal reward playing in his home county. "Small-town gigging and promoting culture and music in rural Ontario is just as gratifying if not more gratifying then going to a big city," he says, "I think the music community is moving toward the fact that the city is not the be-all and end-all."
As for a follow-up to "Yellow Tent," Geddis has been struggling to find his muse, which isn't all bad. "t's easy to write songs about the hard times," he explains, "but when you're married, you're living in a house a block from the beach in Bayfield, you have a good job working with really good kids, you've got to learn how to write about stuff other than the hard times. And that's been a bit of a hard time!" Suffice to say, the summer bodes well for new material; as a teacher, his summer's off provide the greatest opportunity to focus on developing new material. He expects a new release by next summer, featuring contributions from the variety of musicians he's played with live and on record over the past few years.
Post-barbecue bliss, I press Josh Geddis to dispense any parting pieces of wisdom. "Don't discount where you're from," he says, "promote your music here because those will be the fans that stick with you and support you locally. Then you can build from that."

You are here: Home / Our Blog / General News / Loggans Mill and H.T.P.
Seen today encased in scaffolding, Loggans, (pronounced Luggans) at the entrance of Hayle, is a sad sight but it has a milling history going back to the 15thcentury. Its heyday was in the late 19th and the early 20th centuries when it was associated with Hosken, Trevithick, Polkinhorn & Co Ltd, aka H.T.P. Who were these heroes of Hayle?
The Hosken family was associated with milling in Cornwall for centuries with their names featuring in the history of more than a dozen mills. In the late 18th Century Benjamin and his half-brother William were working Trevethoe Mill when, in 1810, the unmarried Ben bought a lease on Loggans from the Rev Hockin. Ben passed away in 1814 and William took over with some of his brothers.
The mill was extended and his son, also a William, took over. In 1852, a mighty fire destroyed the mill and the younger William rebuilt and extended it to the five-storey building we see today. William Hosken was a progressive businessman who sought the latest milling technology, started making the popular white flour and supplied it throughout West Cornwall. William was also interested in shorthorn cattle and developed high quality herds in the town.
William married Catherine Pick whose father, Sam, had leased the Hayle Hotel from the Rev Hockin. When Sam got into financial difficulties, William and his family moved in and renamed it Penmare.
William had two children: Samuel, a farmer, who was more interested in the herd of cattle than the mill, and Catherine, who rode around West Cornwall helping her father by dealing with his customers. Catherine married John Rosewarne, a yeoman farmer at Nanpuska, in 1853.
The famous Trevithick was, of course, Richard who married Jane Harvey of Hayle and invented the high-pressure steam engine that drove the Industrial and Transport Revolutions.
Richard had four sons. Two were engineers with one, John Harvey Trevithick, becoming a shopkeeper and miller at Foundry. John Harvey Trevithick inherited the shipping and retail interests of Harvey's. He had several sons with one, Richard, leading the family business. When William Ernest Rosewarne approached him with the suggestion of a consortium, he jumped at the idea. But where did the Polkinhorns fit in?
Samuel James Polkinhorn, J.P., was an Alderman of the City of Truro and one time, its mayor. After learning the milling and wool treatment trades, he travelled about Cornwall and Devon on horseback, dealing with farmers and buying their wool. On his travels, he encountered the Hosken operation at Hayle and realised that no one in the family was interested in taking over a business that he could run. In the days when businesses were handed down though family links, he was viewed as an outsider from Truro. He had to do something, so he courted and married Jane Rosewarne, the daughter of Catherine Rosewarne, née Hosken, and sister to William Ernest Rosewarne.
Sam could see the Hosken business coming his way and was stunned to find his brother-in-law had been dealing with the Trevithicks. Sam would operate the company's wool business at Tavistock.
Just five months after the death of William Hosken, the largest conglomerate ever formed in Cornwall emerged. It was complicated and led by a number of men who didn't really know each other, nor how to run the business. Sam Hosken, the most respected director, was made the unwilling chairman but seldom attended a meeting. The other directors were Trevithick brothers on one side and the Hosken camp, including Rosewarnes and Polkinhorns by marriage, on the other; they would never agree. Years later, John Rosewarne described the family-controlled feudal company as an unholy alliance.
After eight years, Sam Hosken died of cholera and Richard Trevithick (Grandson of Richard Trevithick, the inventor) took over the chairmanship. He was the chairman from 1898 to 1914 when he was deposed by the shareholders in 1914 and Samuel Polkinhorn became chairman.
Of course, the full story of H.T.P. is much more complicated and revealing than the synopsis you have just read. Buoyed up by shareholders' cash and incredible borrowings, it continued until 1936 when Spillers bought the milling side and the trading name. It continued in the hands of the same Hayle-based families for a further 40 years as Farm Industries Ltd.
We are starting to collect information on HTP for the Heritage Centre so any anecdotes or objects associated with the company will be most welcome for inclusion.

Coastal wetlands are important habitats, but they also provide protection for inland and coastal communities — from lessening the effects of storm surge to filtering pollutants from the water. But coastal wetlands are under increased pressure from sea level rise, invasive species, development, drainage, and pollution. NOAA scientists work to study, conserve, and restore wetlands and the benefits they provide to coastal communities. Natural and nature-based infrastructure projects utilize natural habitats like wetlands to minimize flooding, erosion, and runoff. In addition to protecting communities, these projects provide recreational opportunities and wildlife habitats.
What are your basic job duties?
I design and conduct research to understand how coastal wetlands respond and adapt to rising sea levels and other environmental stressors, like storms, droughts, and nutrient pollution. I also work to apply research results to the management and restoration of wetland habitats. Day to day, this involves a combination of fieldwork, laboratory analysis, writing, and general project management.
Describe how you came to be where you are in your career today.
It's been a circuitous path. I started out as a marine biology undergraduate then got a master's degree in ecosystems ecology and a Ph.D. in oceanography. Along the way I've studied tropical seagrasses, biogeochemistry of the Arctic Ocean, and bacterial water quality in a major urban watershed. Working with the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) is a great fit for me because I am able to draw on all of these previous experiences in my daily work.
When has your work felt most exciting or rewarding?
Occasionally I'll get a call from a random citizen who has come across my research and has questions about how my results can inform their specific concerns about a shoreline near them. The majority of the work that we do at NCCOS is used to inform management decisions. In other words, we provide the data local governments and coastal managers need to make decisions about where to invest in new projects and which actions will help protect their communities. That in itself is rewarding, but these one-on-one conversations are particularly satisfying because you can really feel the direct link between the research results and real impacts for average people.
What would you recommend to those who want to pursue a career in your field?
Talk to a lot of people who are already working in the field. Try some random positions (volunteering, internships, technical support) to get a feel for what you like best. And be adaptable.

First I want to clear something up. No, I repeat NO conditioner will make your hair grow. Conditioners (and other hair products) can help you maintain your length by preventing breakage and that will cause you to see your hair grow longer! I think it is very misleading for Miss Jessie's to claim that this product makes your hair grow AND that claim is on multiple places on this jar. False claims aside, let's get into the rest of this review.
SST is a pretty thick deep conditioner, the texture is similar to a body butter. Due to the thickness, I would not suggest using this product on dry hair because you will end up using more product than is necessary. SST has a distinct smell to it. It smells like really sweet chemicals! It's almost like they tried to cover the chemical scent with candy perfume. I am definitely not a fan of the scent!
I've used this product 3 times and I do have to say that it works well as a deep conditioner. After using, it leaves my hair feeling soft and moisturized. I apply this product on wet hair and leave on for at least 30 minutes. When I use it with a plastic cap on, it seems to work better.It is not the best detangler in my opinion, but if my hair was not too tangled to begin with, it did a decent job.
For the most part, I usually stay away from hair products with silicones in them because they can build up on the hair if you are using a sulfate-free shampoo (which I normally use). However this product is full of 'cones and any other chemical you can think of (kidding) and I have not noticed any major build-up on my hair.
Overall, I like this conditioner, but I don't think it is worth the price. It does do a nice job of softening my hair, but not anything amazing in my honest opinion.
Final Grade: C+ It does the job, but not so well that it warrants a $48 price tag.
Have you tried the Miss Jessie's Super Sweetback Treatment? How did it work for you?
Previous Last Beauty Haul of the Summer!
Hey Carina! Yeah, if I were you I wouldn't waste my money!
I use this conditioner and do like it but I also find them to be a bit too expensive.
Do you think you will continue to repurchase it or try another product when you run out?
I will probably try something else. I only use it a few times a month so it lasts awhile.
Thanks for the review! Good to know about this product.

Creating Opportunity for All
By: Dan Tarman, Chief Communications Officer, eBay
"If you give people the benefit of the doubt, you will rarely be disappointed."
These words from eBay founder Pierre Omidyar led to a vision of harnessing technology to enable trade between people. Twenty-two years later, eBay remains true to this founding premise and is now one of the world's largest commerce platforms.
Today, we take for granted how easy and seamless it has become to conduct business with one another and trade online. We order food on a mobile app from almost any restaurant and it arrives at our door within an hour; we get in a stranger's car for a ride across town; we spend our family vacations in some other stranger's home. It's all so normal now -- no big deal. But in 1995, when Mark Fraser of Salt Spring Island, Canada, sent $14.83 to a person he'd never met (Pierre) —never even spoken with —to buy a laser pointer he saw on a website, it was a remarkable act and started an even more remarkable movement.
That first transaction on what would become eBay was a simple yet powerful proof point of how technology could be used to create opportunity and economically empower anyone with an Internet connection and the will to succeed. This democratization of commerce through technology was, and has been, eBay's Purpose ever since our founding. It's why eBay exists, and it comes to life every day across our vast global commerce network.
"Purpose-ness" in business has become increasingly en vogue over the past few years, and this is a positive and encouraging trend. Not every business or company serves a higher societal purpose. But those that do can make a significant positive impact and also stand a greater likelihood of enduring over time. It is even more compelling when a company's purpose is rooted in its origins. For eBay, our Purpose was born through the sale of that laser pointer back in 1995, and it's the thread that connects the entire eBay community of buyers, sellers and employees.
Embedding Purpose into business
Millions of transactions happen on our platform every year. As a marketplace comprised of more than 171 million active buyers and millions of sellers, each transaction on eBay is usually a person connecting with another person. Last year alone, $84 billion worth of transactions happened through eBay.
And behind almost every transaction, there is a story. Often our sellers are small or medium-sized businesses that began on eBay as individual entrepreneurs, many of whom have grown into mature and thriving businesses. Tanya Crew, of Carson City, Nevada, is one of many thousands of people who have built their businesses on eBay. When she started out, Tanya was told she would be a failure in life. She sold her first product on eBay 11 years ago while in college. Today, Tanya is the CEO of a $3 million motorcycle parts business on eBay. We should all be so lucky to be such failures!
Emmanuel Antig of Ormac City, Philippines, was on the verge of poverty 14 years ago, when his nephew showed him how to use the Internet. The first word he searched was 'seashell', and that led to the beginning of his seashell business on eBay. Today, Emmanuel's business employs 12 people and exports around the world.
To compete outside the local market and remain competitive, Mario Calabrese expanded his local family's footwear business on eBay to reach a global audience.
Then there is Piotr of Osielsko, Poland, who at age 70, wrote his master's thesis on growing cactuses in vitro. With encouragement from his daughters, Piotr began selling plants on eBay. Today, Piotr sells 50-100 plants a day.
Our platform exists to help people around the world find their version of perfect from sellers like Tanya, Emmanuel, Piotr and countless others like them. From the unique item to the everyday, there are more than 1 billion items listed on eBay. This is Purpose at-scale.
Our Purpose is also at the heart of one of the most powerful giving platforms in commerce – eBay for Charity. Originally built to help support the families of victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, eBay for Charity is more than three-quarters of the way toward reaching our goal of $1 billion in charity funds raised by 2020. All this is made possible by the combined power of our platform and community -- eBay buyers and sellers.
Take Laurie Wong of Powder Springs, Georgia, who runs a community resource center and food pantry, Reflections of Trinity, as an eBay business. She sells items donated to her church on eBay to help support people in need in her community. Sales on the Reflections of Trinity eBay charity shop have surpassed more than $1 million, enabling Laurie's organization to sustain vital community services. eBay does not charge any fees on these sales, and also enables people to donate at checkout if they would like to. This too is Purpose at-scale.
As we continue to build eBay as a disrupter and commerce leader, we are developing and deploying innovative technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality to not only shape the future of commerce but also to serve the needs of those who rely on our platform. We implement these technologies in the service of our millions of buyers and sellers --using technology as a tool for empowerment and job creation. We recognize that there are real and serious policy issues related to the role of technology and the future of work that businesses and governments must work together to resolve. By staying true to our Purpose while building our business, we have a clear North Star to guide our path, while continuing to deliver ongoing, long-term benefits for our global community.
We won't always get it exactly right, but we will continue to work to chart a path that is true to our heritage and that activates our founding ethos of economic empowerment. This is what makes eBay, eBay, and it makes me proud to be part of the journey. All from the sale of one laser pointer….

In Providence, R.I., Bustle Gives Way to Simple Pleasures

Rhode Island may be the smallest state, but its culinary scene is anything but small. From Cambodia to Cape Verde, Providence, R.I., restaurants span the globe in a big way.
Big King is the latest restaurant in that city from James Mark, the chef-owner best known for North, a critically acclaimed Asian-fusion restaurant. Before that, Mr. Mark, a graduate of Johnson & Wales University, worked for David Chang at the Momofuku restaurant group.
He opened the Japanese-inspired Big King in June in the West Side of Providence. The neighborhood is home to a mix of residences, youth arts organizations and some of the city's best brunch spots. North previously occupied the space that Big King now does, but moved to larger accommodations at the Dean Hotel, a hip establishment located in downtown Providence.
In contrast to North's bustle and long wait times, Mr. Mark makes a move toward simplicity with Big King (a tribute to his grandmother, Big King Lee). For the new concept, he introduced reservations and orchestrated a physical redesign, extending the bar, but reducing the numbers of seats to an intimate 21.
On a chilly December evening, seated at the bar for an early dinner with a friend, we ordered the majority of the à la carte menu.
Dishes tend to focus on individual ingredients, many sourced from Rhode Island. Diners can also choose between a four-course or six-course set menu ($40 and $55, respectively), with the option to add a sake pairing. The menu, which changes frequently, is written in journals everyday, and given to diners. The offerings that day were penned in bright blue ink.
An array of seafood, vegetable and rice-based dishes arrived one by one —-perfectly spaced. We started with a half dozen Salt Pond oysters, accompanied by a mildly spicy green chile sauce and a surprise seventh oyster.
To follow, a small plate of almost raw lobster lacquered in soy milk and poppy seeds stood out. As did a simple bowl of grilled broccoli with white sesame, cashews and a hint of lemon.
Per our server's recommendation, we sipped Kiku-Masamune Junmai Kimoto, a lighter sake that complemented the first half of our meal. It's worth noting that diners will not find wine on the drinks menu; just a pared down list of sake, assorted liquor and light beer.
To round out the meal, we split four pieces of black bass nigiri with ponzu, a tart-tangy sauce that complemented the sweetness of the fish, and two lobster hand rolls.
The service was attentive and kind; cooks seamlessly slipped in and out of the kitchen to deliver dishes.
And for dessert, we enjoyed concord grape sorbet with candied ginger, the texture reminiscent of Pop Rocks, as well as a scoop of quince and vanilla ice cream enrobed in a shell of dark chocolate — a grown up version of a child's ice cream sundae.
Big King self-identifies as "(kinda) strange," according to its Instagram bio. That may be true, but my companion and I left content, appreciative that even on a Saturday evening, we achieved a state of serenity over sake.
Big King, 3 Luongo Square (no phone; reservations, www.exploretock.com); a meal for two is about $100, not including drinks or tip.

Archivist's Notes: There is a Russian translation of this story: Предательство.
December has drawn a illustration: I Trusted You.
Still, Denethor did not leave the House of the Stewards. Faramir had been hiding for almost an hour, and for almost an hour, Denethor had stalked him. Faramir could hear him walking slowly from crypt to crypt; he shoved his fist in his mouth to keep from screaming. The gentle footsteps moved closer, but no other sound accompanied them. Faramir held still until his muscles began to cramp. His left leg betrayed him, left the safety of his arms, and slid out, pushing his foot forward. The slightest of sounds, but Faramir knew Denethor heard it. The footsteps stopped.
Faramir shivered uncontrollably, then berated himself. Why had he not obeyed Denethor's order when first it had come? 'Twas a simple enough order, routine, yet something in it caused Faramir to panic and run. Did his father know? It was the only logical explanation for the cryptic order. How had he discovered their secret? The shivering grew exponentially as Faramir remembered their last tryst. It had been beautiful, beyond words, but his screams, he must have betrayed them with his screams. Boromir had told him not to worry, but Faramir had, and now, he deemed, rightly so.
Such a simple question. Faramir's eyes grew misty; tears fell. Once he had not been afraid of his father, once he had loved him with all his heart, once he had thought him the greatest man in all Middle-earth. But then his mother died. Denethor changed immediately into a cold, hard, grim man. The days of warm hugs and ruffled hair ceased. He had been moved from his own chambers, the ones he shared with Boromir, and put into cold, damp chambers on a floor well above the family's old quarters, ostensibly because of his age.
"I am losing patience, Faramir. Come forward now, else your punishment be heavier than it ought." The footsteps, so very close now, stopped. Faramir held his breath. Denethor must only be a crypt or two from him. "I only want the best for you, my son. And for me." The innuendo in the voice sent Faramir's body into paroxysms of fear. Again, his body betrayed him. He heard Denethor move forward, knew he had been found. He sobbed hysterically as his father turned the corner and stared down at him, his grey eyes held an emotion Faramir could not discern.
Enjoyed this story? Then be sure to let the author know by posting a comment at http://www.faramirfiction.com/Fiction/betrayed. Positive feedback is what keeps authors writing more stories!
Such eloquence in so few words, practically a tale of a whole life. So concise, yet so very powerful – quite overwhelming, actually. Beautiful and haunting. So many things you leave unsaid, and yet it all reads perfectly well between the lines. It is all seemingly soft and gentle, but what horrors are actually hiding below the surface…!
Thank you for sharing this work. It has definitely left me with a lingering impression.
There are sometimes when horror just accosts you and you can't do anything but write about it. I felt the same way as you when I wrote this. The horror lingered and I had to complete it. That's one thing I love about your writing… but your gentleness is a true gentleness… whereas mine seems to be touched by the macabre. Yikes! Bless you for your comments! MOST appreciated!
Oh, I believe every colour in the palette has its appropriate uses – and for this story the 'macabre gentleness' is just the shade to apply, I think. And I also think that your 'colour scheme' in this work is exceptionally consistent. At first I had wondered why it was that Faramir actually having a consensual relationship with someone had only added to the sadness and eeriness of the tale. I suppose that is because it brings into contrast how truly unprotected he is before Denethor, that even though another man loves him, nothing can ensure him against this sort of peril.

The Lord of Song: "Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, a Journey, a Song"
December 31, 2022 December 31, 2022 / benedictgilbert
This new documentary is based on the book, The Holy or the Broken: Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley and the unlikely ascent of 'Hallelujah', published a decade ago by the music journalist, Alan Light (Atria Books, 2012). In it he charts how Cohen worked with producer John Lissauer on his 1984 album, Various Positions, after his disastrous experience with Phil Spector on Death of a Ladies Man (in which Spector is said to have held a revolver to Cohen's head saying, "I f___ing love you, Leonard!" / "I hope you do, Phil"), and before his resurgence with I'm Your Man in 1988. Various Positions was ultimately rejected by the record label, Columbia, effectively ending Lissauer's career in music production. "We know you're great, Leonard," Cohen himself was told; "we just don't know if you're any good!" The documentary (Daniel Geller, Dayna Goldfine, 2022) tells the story of a single song and its unusual life (and afterlife), the way that, for example, Matthew Hollis has just written a single study, or 'biography' of T.S. Eliot's The Wasteland.
Before Cohen and Lissauer went into the studio to record, the song had already had an early life of its own – a kind of painful adolescence. Light recounts the story of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen meeting in Paris. "Dylan asked me how long it took me to write," Cohen reported. "I told him a couple of years. I lied, actually. It was more than a couple of years. Then I praised a song of his […] and asked him how long it had taken and he said 'fifteen minutes'" (The Holy or the Broken, p. 2). 'Hallelujah' was said by Cohen to have as many as eighty verses, and by one (probably apocryphal) estimate to have one hundred and eighty. This struggle for the song to come into being lyrically is significant, I think.
Both the documentary and the book it is based on chart the life of Cohen's song and the album itself, from rejection, to John Cale's cover; to Jeff Buckley's rendition based on Cale's version. In fact, Buckley didn't hear Cohen's original until after he had created his own haunting interpretation of the song. Each added something to the life – or lives – of the song. Alan Light goes into some detail about Buckley's rise to fame, or perhaps cult status is closer to it, and his tragic early death, drowning in a tributary of the Mississippi in late May 1997. Like another 1990's adventurer and outsider, Chris McCandless – who disappeared into the Alaskan wilderness in John Krauker's factual account, Into the Wild (1996) – mystery surrounds the death of both men.
In any case, Jeff Buckely's demise contributed to the cult status of his only studio album, Grace (1994). Light points out that Leonard Cohen had retreated to the Calfornian Buddhist monestery on Mount Baldy by the time Jeff Buckley's fame was breaking. By the late 1990s, when he came down from the mountain, Cohen had been defrauded by his manager and some-time friend, Kelley Lynch, a personal calamity that sent him back on the road – although he seemed to take it as one who in suffering all, suffers nothing. In the meantime, Jeff Buckely had died tragically and the song, Hallelujah continued to gradually seep into the culture, although not yet the mainstream. Buckley's version of the song is certainly beautiful. I think it is telling, though, that in an interview, asked if he thought Leonard Cohen had heard the song, he replied, "I hope he never hears it." Explaining that he feared his rendition was a boy's version.
But you don't know what you're singing, do ya?
In the late 1990s, Hallelujah was picked up by the production team on the animated film Shrek (1997). Following the popularity of the film, Alan Light points out that a new generation was introduced to the song, and crucially that different versions of the lyrics were in circulation at the same time. Post-Shrek, the song featured in the US music channel VH1's 9/11 tribute and from there it could be co-opted by the music talent shows in the UK, Europe and the US – Britain's Got Talent, The X-Factor, American Idol, etc, with a notable 'Witney-fied' version by Alexandra Burke. Light suggests that the proliferation of the song tends to privilege "sentiment over meaning", draining the song of its more complex textures. This raises the question of what the song does in fact mean.
Even though it all went wrong:
Despite the process of writing Hallalujah clearly being a protracted struggle, Leonard Cohen himself describes the creative process as gift, a grace. Talking about what songs and poems mean "frightens the muses," Cohen has said. According to Harry Freedman, "[he] has described Hallelujah as a song about a conflicted world in which there are things that cannot be reconciled" (p. 58). Certainly the song has been adopted for different purposes: romantic, tragic, religious, sentimental. For Jeff Buckley, the song was fundamentally an erotic-romantic one – "a youthful vision of romantic agony and sexual triumph" (Light, p. 66). However, Alan Light observes that Buckley's version loses the humour and irony of the original. So, for example, the third line of the first verse, "…But you don't really care for music, do you?" loses its bathos – where irony deflates the seriousness of the opening lines ("I heard there was a secret chord,/ That David played and it pleased the Lord…"). Something like Philip Larkin's line in his poem 'Wild Oats', "…and her friend in specs I could talk to" – both poets puncture the sense of their own gravity.
This is something most cover versions lose – whether intimate or operatic. In his original, however, Cohen can ride both horses, and the song quickly recovers its strong romantic strain, "Your faith was strong but you needed proof,/ You saw her bathing on the roof;/ Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you…" It seems to me that his song is essentially about the contradictory drives of physical and spiritual desire – hence his identification with the two Old Testament Jewish patriarchs, King David and Samson, both undone by their worldly desire for beautiful women. This tensile relationship can be felt in the shift from the triumphant chorus to the tormented verses, perhaps reaching their zenith with the lines, "I did my best, it wasn't much,/ I couldn't feel, so I learned to touch./ I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you." Here, years of the singer's messy personal life are distilled brilliantly into a few lines – part confession, part artist's credo. "In your work," he says, "you can refine your character, that's where you can order your world. You're stuck with the consequences of your actions, but in your work you can go back" (in Sylvie Simmons, I'm Your Man, p. 337).
Key cover versions of the song tend to omit certain verses ("You say I took the name in vain;/ I don't even know the name…") and also follow the structure of Jeff Buckley's seminal interpretation. That is to say, ending on the verse, "Maybe there's a God above,/ but all I ever learned from love,/ is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you." This suggests a more agnostic ending to the song. While it's certainly a song about doubt, Cohen's Hallelujah – and certainly his late live performances – all end on the lines: "and even though it all went wrong,/ I'll stand before the Lord of Song,/ with nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah" – aligning the final verse with the chorus – and as close as one can get to the Psalms in contemporary culture.
Alan Light's book, and the documentary based on it are certainly welcome additions to the material that has grown up around Leonard Cohen's music. A slight weakness of the book might be that it spends as long following the cover versions and those who made them, quoting them extensively. This can be slightly awkward where the song knows more than the singers. Cohen himself recorded Hallelujah in his early 50s. He struggled to write it, it was then rejected, covered, and re-discovered, before taking off into the stratosphere of popular culture where most of its subtleties inevitably vaporised. After all, what T.S. Eliot would call a "raid on the inarticulate" had to be made understandable to a very wide audience. It also arguably took until Cohen's 70s to really learn to master the song, even tweaking some of the lyrics from the cover versions. Hallelujah appeared on the same album as 'If it be your will', which Leonard Cohen described on stage as "…a song; well, it's more of a prayer…"
