The Third Grave

Stephen E. Fabian (Illustrator)
When Thomas Ashley is invited to accompany the archaeological expedition of Sir Harold Gregory, he travels beyond the Great Cataract to enter a realm of endless sand, craggy cliffs, and the Egypt of the ancient pharaohs. Treading through the detritus of this vanished civilization, Ashley and his party uncover a New kingdom sarcophagus containing a mummy that has lain When Thomas Ashley is invited to accompany the archaeological expedition of Sir Harold Gregory, he travels beyond the Great Cataract to enter a realm of endless sand, craggy cliffs, and the Egypt of the ancient pharaohs. Treading through the detritus of this vanished civilization, Ashley and his party uncover a New kingdom sarcophagus containing a mummy that has lain sequestered, undisturbed over the aeons, within a rock-cut tomb. While Ashley is translating the hieroglyphic writings that attend this discovery, a scandal erupts over the mummy, involving both a hideous mutilation and the threat of a Pharaonic curse. More ominously, the expedition is visited by a mysterious intruder, Lucian Mallory...
As extraordinary a novel as Arkham House has ever published, The Third Grave was conceived by one of the few living fantasists capable of fulfilling the literary requirements of the genre. David Case's first book, published twelve years ago, created a sensation among cognoscenti of the macabre, and this new novel reaffirms his stature as one of the great American masters of horror. ...more

scary stuff! Only 184 pages, but they are of the very old classic type of horror...the kind that more builds in your mind rather than in the gory details present in modern horror fiction. The Third Grave was written in 1981, but still preserves the type of horror writing of older days. I like my horror cerebral rather than filled with gore so this one was perfect.

The book begins in Egypt, on an archaeological dig, where Thomas Ashley is working with Sir Harold Gregory. Ashley is an expert on hieroglyphics and this is what he is doing on the dig. One day, Sir Harold and Thomas receive a strange visitor, one Lucian Mallory. He stays only a short time, and sneers at the archaeological work before moving on. Some years later, when Thomas was at home and doing some independent translations, he receives a letter from Lucian Mallory, who tells him of an opportunity for Thomas to view some previously untranslated hieroglyphs on papyrus scrolls taken from a necropolis in Egypt. Thomas, always interested in discovering something as yet untranslated, decides to take Lucian up on his offer, and leaves his home for a place called Farriers Bar in Devonshire where Mallory is to meet him. When he arrives, there is no Mallory, but there have been two murders. He is questioned by the police, and eventually Mallory appears to take him to his home. When Thomas arrives and begins to work on the translation, he hears a horrifying account of Mallory's life work - but may never live to tell the tale.
Very cool, very fun and a chilling story. This one stays in my collection of books from Arkham House; if you want a good creepy story to read by a blazing fire, this may be the one. ...more

Better than I expected from this slim novel. I thought it would be a run-of-the-mill mummy story but it turned out that mummies were almost incidental to the story. There were zombies too. And creepy houses with locked doors. However, the author kept the plot fresh enough that despite all these tropes the story was pretty engaging. Plenty of suspense and eerie menace.

David Case's contribution to the horror genre - a couple of novels and two or three volumes' worth of short stories - is relatively unknown, but I find him compulsively readable and well worth the effort of hunting down whichever works are still in print. He writes in an unfussy British manner, with the sort of lean yet lyrical prose epitomised by Ian Fleming - no one has me reaching for the dictionary like David Case - and his stories have that 'Hammer Horror' feel to them; almost quaint, David Case's contribution to the horror genre - a couple of novels and two or three volumes' worth of short stories - is relatively unknown, but I find him compulsively readable and well worth the effort of hunting down whichever works are still in print. He writes in an unfussy British manner, with the sort of lean yet lyrical prose epitomised by Ian Fleming - no one has me reaching for the dictionary like David Case - and his stories have that 'Hammer Horror' feel to them; almost quaint, certainly nostalgic, but with the bite of gore or horror never far away.
The Third Grave seems misleadingly from the cover to be an Egyptian Curse tale, though it is set mainly in the English countryside and the narrative veers from vampire, mummy and zombie mythology (taking in werewolves on the way) - all of which adds to the sense of unease and certainly aids in wrong-footing the reader if they think they know quite where the story is heading. Characterisation is broad yet strong, and the prose is a lesson in both brevity and eloquence.
The Third Grave is not without faults: the familiarity of the sort of tale Case tells means that (despite his efforts detailed above) the ending is a little more predictable as the book progresses (although this is a mean criticism, as many less well-realised modern novels do this almost as a matter of course), and the period setting seems slightly amorphous (despite characters mentioning Churchill and WWII, and the presence of a jukebox in a pub), this novel feels like it wants to be set at the very start of the 20th century).
In all, a fine book of the sort they don't write any more, and probably didn't write in 1981 when this was published. This edition, the only one available, is another of Arkham House's beautifully made books of the time; an octavo hardback that fits perfectly in the hands, finely printed and bound, and augmented with a few excellent mood-setting interior illustrations and that wonderful cover painting. ...more

David Case's The Third Grave is a book I probably never would have found if it weren't for the intrepid souls of Valancourt Books. Long out of print, this gem was picked up and reissued and I knew I had to have it!
I loved the style of the writing and the progression of the story, which is a slow building mystery of our hero and his encounters with a strange man seeking arcane knowledge that was buried with the ancient Egyptian way of life. There are excellent scenes of creeping dread and descriptions of horror—Case had quite the eye for detail and knew right when to twist the knife.
Though the book is short and focused on the mystery, the author often delves into philosophical ideas about what it means to be alive, the separation between mind and body, and life after death. ...more

This fairly obscure little book was a surprise in that it sent me to the dictionary ten or twelve times to look up words with which I was completely unfamiliar. It reminded me quite a bit of a Hammer mummy-horror film of fifty years ago. The tone of the novel made me believe the setting was in the late 19th century, but there was a casual reference to a jukebox in the bar with Tom Jones on it. An odd volume, but fun.

After listening to David Case's The Third Grave, I was a little surprised to find that it was written in 1981; Case writes and creates an atmosphere that feels as if the story were written much earlier in the century, which is a good thing.

There is a definite feel of antiquity to the story that lends itself perfectly to what at first feels like a typical mummy-themed adventure but what quickly turns into something more akin to Frankenstein and the accompanying horrors that can be done to a human body.
Thomas Ashley, an archaeologist, is invited to the home of a passing acquaintance he met in the dessert once, Lucian Mallory. Mallory claims to have discovered some ancient Egyptian scrolls and needs Ashely's expertise to translate them. Unable to resist the chance to work on this new discover, Ashley travels to Mallory's home where he is immediately and inadvertently thrust into a bizarre case of murder; someone, or something, has committed grisly murders in the quiet little town and some think that newcomer Mallory may have something to do with it. What follows is a fast-paced exploration of what it means for the characters to be human and what it means for them to have a soul, while simultaneously trying solve the mystery of the murders going on in town.
Guy Bethell's narration is really quite good, even if his voice is a little bit on the gravely side sometimes and hard to follow. He captures the essence of the characters and really keeps the story moving along thru his narration.
Overall, if you are a fan of a good mummy story, or a fan of Frankenstein, or just enjoy a good tale of the classic supernatural with a modern flair, David Case's The Third Grave is for you.
I'd like to thank Valancourt Books for providing an Audible download of The Third Grave for review. ...more

Trivia About The Third Grave


Tambunan District lies in the Interior Division of Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. Sited some 80 kilometres from Kota Kinabalu, the State Capitol, its main township is also called Tambunan. This township is very well known for its rustic atmosphere and a meander around is always reminiscent of a more laid back past. Which is to say, there is no rush and hustle and bustle of people or transportation.
The township is sited on a valley, over the Crocker Range. Around the area there are terraced paddy fields, clusters of villages and forests of bamboos. The green hills and mountains are soothing sights against blue skies and its 'ruralness' makes for relaxation. Because it's a valley and there is very little hill cutting and deforestation around, Tambunan has a mild tropical weather all year long. In the evenings the temperature can go down to a comfortable 19 degrees celcus.
Visitors to Tambunan can enjoy the atmosphere and just relax in a rural ambiance. There are no dearth of place to stay there as there are hotels and homestays. Homestays are the best bet of course as it enables guests to sample local hospitality and get a brief insight on their way of life.

The Lodge offers 24 rooms in three bungalows and five container cabins. The container cabins are well furnished with a good bathroom. They are surprisingly cosy and comfortable.
The homestay opened to the public in 2011 and have since welcomed many visitors, mostly domestic guests and a few international arrivals, its proprietor, Juliana Kitingan said, adding that they can be found listed in Booking.com.
Sited on 4.5 acres of land, the area is reminiscent of a typical village area, surrounded by fruit trees and beyond that, the jungle. The sounds of cicadas can be heard in the evenings, lending a serene atmosphere to the surrounding.
Breakfast is included, but if guests want to have their lunch and dinner in the establishment, they can arrange for food to be served. The menu is usually local food unless requested otherwise by the guests.
"During the fruit season, guests can sample the fruit that is available around our house. This includes durian and rambutan," Juliana shared.

Q: XQuery - optimizing inefficient query strategy (in eXist-db) Environment: eXist-DB 4.4 / Xquery 3.1
I have hundreds of tei:xml documents in which are encoded named entities persName and placeName. The documents are in
 collection("db/fooapp/data")

Each instance of persName and placeName has an attribute @nymRef which contains a single value that refers to an xml:id in a master documents:
 db/fooapp/data/codes_persons.xml

 db/fooapp/data/codes_places.xml

These master documents contain, among other things, the canonical name of each person or place.
I am frequently doing single lookups for a certain single name, for example
let $x := some @nymRef

let $y := doc(db/fooapp/data/codes_places.xml)//tei:place[@xml:id=$x]//tei:placeName/text()

return $y

But, there are times where I need to do this, cycling through huge lists. For example, across all the documents I need to output an id for a seg and it has a (or multiple) child element placeName/@nymRef:
 <seg xml:id="fooref">some text<placeName nymRef="fooplace"/>some text</seg>

The task is to obtain all the seg/@xml:id and then lookup and output the canonical name of any placeName/@nymRef underneath it. This results in numerous round trips that are really inefficient, but I do not know any other means to do this in eXist-DB. The costly roundtrip is expressed at let $c, cycling through return:
let $coll := collection("db/fooapp/data")

for $a in $coll//seg

    for $b in $a//placeName

        let $c := $doc("db/fooapp/data/codes_places.xml")//tei:place[@xml:id=$b/data(@nymRef)]//tei:placeName/text()

        return

                {$a/@xml:id}
                {$c}

This can add up to hundreds of round trips for a single table output.
I have no objections to restructuring the task into multiple functions if necessary.
Many thanks in advance.

A: Please provide us with an input xml and the desired output, otherwise there is no way to rewrite your query. We also need to see your index configuration.
Some general advice, for avoiding roundtrips:

*

*First off, see my previous answer to your question on the use of
ft:query(). When doing [@xml:id=$b/data(@nymRef)] is exist using
indexes or are you forcing it to do a string comparison without
having an index configured on that string?

*id() is the fastest way possible to lookup xml:id values

*distinct-values is your friend to only look-up each distinct
key:value pair once.

*Use a single for loop to avoid iterating over the same data multiple
times.

*Whenever possible go for more restrictive XPath expressions, //
probably loads a lot of unnecessary data into memory.
All of these and more can be found in the documentation

Three White Women Made a Mahjong Line Nobody Asked For
Dallas company apologizes after criticism for redesigning mahjong tiles
It seems that white people, not content with bottling bad kimchee and crappy pad thai, are exploring new dimensions in cultural appropriation. The latest Asian shit stolen and made "new": mahjong, courtesy of three white ladies, who have given the game a "respectful refresh" that absolutely nobody was asking for.
The Mahjong Line, based in Dallas, was the brainchild of Kate LaGere after she "discovered" that traditional mahjong tiles had the same designs and "did not reflect the fun" she had while playing the game, according to the company's website. Perhaps worst of all: the damn thing costs $425. I had no idea that mahjong could be gentrified. But they've done it. And the internet of Asian America has let them know accordingly. Do not mess with our shit, because we will let you know.

On Monday, Maslow issued a statement apologizing and resigning from her position in the party: "I hereby resign from my position as 6th vice chair of the Kings County Democratic County Committee effective immediately. I sincerely apologize for the poor choice of words I used in a social media posts over the weekend, which were hurtful to members of the Chinese American Community."
Rose Ochi, Japanese American trailblazer for civil rights, dies at 81
Rose Matsui Ochi, a trailblazing Los Angeles attorney who tapped far-flung political networks from City Hall to Congress in her fierce advocacy of civil rights, criminal justice reform and Japanese American causes, has died at 81. Ochi broke barriers as the first Asian American woman to serve as a Los Angeles Police Commission member and as an assistant U.S. attorney general. She advised L.A. Mayors Tom Bradley and James Hahn on criminal justice, served on President Carter's Select Commission on Immigration and Refugee Policy and worked with President Clinton on drug policy and race relations. Ochi died December 13 after being diagnosed with a second bout of COVID-19, which exacerbated existing health problems.

Home Education What is the Definition of Logistics in 2021?
What is the Definition of Logistics in 2021?
Carmel Issac
Logistics is an ever-changing industry, and 2021 is no exception. The world is constantly changing, which means we have to rethink the way we supply businesses, haul heavy loads, and move things throughout the world. These requirements have led to a series of changes in the logistics and shipping industry.
How Logistics is Defined Today
How Logistics Is Shifting
Do you Need the Help of a Professional Logistics Company or Trucking Broker? Osage Specialized Transport Is Ready to Meet Your Unique Needs
Between the COVID-19 pandemic and the constant improvements in technology, logistics is taking on a whole new meaning as time goes by. Here's what you need to know about what logistics is in 2021, how it affects businesses and how you can keep up with the latest trends in logistics.
Logistics is a term that describes the procurement, storage and transportation of goods and materials. While the term was originally used to describe the military readying troops with equipment and supplies, the world of logistics has expanded far beyond its military origins. In today's world, logistics has a lot more to do with the global supply chain than the military.
Operating costs and efficiency are important when you run a business, and logistics aims to improve efficiency and reduce cost, among other things. While logistics was originally more about the physical process of moving products from one location to another, the focus has shifted to the entire life of a product from start to finish. Logistics includes several steps that are designed to maximize customer satisfaction, increase cost savings, and improve efficiency.
With the first massive change to the supply chain happening all the way back in the 1960s, logistics have come a long way since the beginning. As technology continues to expand and improve, look for companies trying to find new ways to deliver products to customers in a quicker, cheaper, and more efficient manner.
In order to understand logistics trends in 2021 and beyond, it's important to understand the effect that technology is currently having on logistics. There are a handful of major changes currently happening in the tech world, and staying on top of all the latest trends in technology is one of the best ways for businesses to remain modern.
Machine learning and AI are two of the biggest buzzwords in the tech world in 2021. While forecasting and managing orders were once the jobs of a person, there are advanced algorithms that can handle these tasks now. What's even more impressive is the fact that these machine learning and AI algorithms are capable of getting smarter over time simply by looking at data.
Technology has also entered the world of logistics in a more tangible way. Larger companies like Amazon are starting to experiment with various tech that's designed to make product storage and delivery easier. Currently, there are a handful of companies using self-driving vehicles in the warehouse to move and store products. The efficiency of these self-driving vehicles saves large companies a lot of money, and it also makes it easier to run a tight ship at the warehouse. As this technology continues to improve, expect to see self-driving vehicles on public roads being used to deliver products.
Some companies have also experimented with drones and robots as delivery methods, so that's something we could see in the near future of logistics. One unique way companies are using drones in the warehouse is to get a clear aerial view of the warehouse for inspections. While these aren't tools and capabilities that every business needs to have, logistics is all about minimizing the cost of doing business and making things more efficient, which is exactly what this sort of tech can do.
While quickly getting products to customers without spending a fortune is important, there are other issues in the world of logistics. One of the biggest problems facing manufacturers today is meeting the high demand for products from a manufacturing standpoint. Some products are so popular that it's literally difficult for manufacturers to make enough of them, which is why 3D printing is becoming an increasingly popular tool in logistics. With 3D printing, a local 3D printing shop can quickly print an item to be delivered to you in next to no time, which would be a huge upgrade over waiting for days or even weeks for a package to arrive.
Many companies are developing their own technology to try to take advantage of trends in logistics in 2021. While companies have been attempting to use drones as a delivery method for several years, there are also companies working to design and develop new aerial delivery technology that would better serve their needs. Look out for these types of developments to have a big impact on the way goods are acquired, stored, and delivered in the future.
Finally, warehouse automation has become a big part of the supply chain in today's world. From managing orders and forecasting numbers to using self-driving vehicles to accomplish work that would have required human intervention in the past, automation is the key to better logistics. For large companies that want to stay on the cutting edge of technology and grow at a steady rate moving into the future, a strong focus on logistics and its changing trends is a must.
Things are constantly changing in today's world; from the food we eat to the way people do business. As the population continues to grow, logistics will become an increasingly important part of our world. The good news is, advancements in technology provide plenty of room for growth as far as logistics go, especially when you consider the rapid expansion of AI and machine learning technology.
If you run a business, doing things in an efficient and affordable way is important. Working with a logistics company can help you stay on top of the latest trends, taking advantage of them to save your business time and money. If you want to find out more about how logistics can help your business grow while saving money, Osage Specialized Transport can help.

We've put a ton of thought into our gifts this year. We don't want to create monsters, but we do want to have our home in full holiday spirit. We want our girls to have something they want, something they need, something they wear, and something the read. I do, however, always get requests from friends and family each year for what the girls want for Christmas (and birthdays since they are in Dec & January) so I keep a handy Amazon Wish List as a Christmas-style registry – it sure beats splitting up a list for each request. Here are our top ideas this year. It's probably a girl-sided list, but boys will have fun with these toys as well! We would rather have a few quality toys that our kids will play with for years than a house full of plastic things that will soon be in a land-fill.
Play kitchen & accessories. A majority of our kids' time is spent playing in the "little kitchen" at home, and we hear that the girls and boys both spend a ton of time in the "home center" at school.
Toy vacuum & cleaning tools. Our kids love to "help out" and I believe we are creating great habits. Girls and boys both enjoy helping out. Our nephew loves his cleaning supplies as much as our daughters do. Our kids even use real Swiffer dusters while we use the "big" one that extends.
Play-doh. It's a classic! Whether you use the store-bought or made-at-home kind, the creativity is endless. Pair it with cookie cutters and other tools for hours of focused fun.
Art supplies. We are making the girls art jars (although you can buy these assembled) and requesting painting supplies this year. They are always asking to do art projects and I love to have things on hand for when I'm out of creative project ideas.
PJs. Some kids this age (like ours) are very particular about their day-to-day wardrobe and like to pick it themselves. Whether or not your kid is their own stylist, pajamas always seem to hit the mark in their favorite characters. Our girls love Disney Princess nightgowns and anything with Minnie Mouse. I'm sure it will be completely different next year!
Musical Instruments. We have always opted for a cheap version of a real instrument and the girls have spend hours jamming on them while the over-thought "toy" instruments sit in the corner. They love that their guitars are just like mom's!
Books. Pick something on your kiddo's favorite topic. In our house, it's all about animals and ballerinas.
Dishes & Silverware. Nothing helps veggies go down like fun plats, bowls, cups, forks, and spoons.
iPad. We like the Mini version since it fits into kid hands better. They think they are being spoiled, but our kids have learned there ABCs, numbers, colors, and shapes with the help if the iPad and are now working on spelling & writing. It's also great for car trips, doctors appointments, you name it. It's fun & learning. How did we ever function without them? We prefer Apple because of the App Store and it is easy to sync with our other services and devices.
Balance Bike. Who doesn't love a great ride-on toy? We love our Radio Flyer tricycles & our Cozy Coupes, but don't forget about the new classic: balance bikes. It's the new step between tricycles and 2-wheelers. We were lucky enough to get one of these earlier this year and even our then-18 month old gave it ago.
What is your gift-buying strategy this year? What are your most-played-with toys that other parents should consider this giving season? How are you teaching your children about giving?

The man is believed to have died at that location, according to Resendes, who said there was no indication the body had been moved to the park from elsewhere.
Resendes said investigators are certain that this case is not related to the deaths of two men who were found shot and burning near Roseville in June.
Warren Alexander Galsote, 34, and Jason John Benson, 33, both of Sacramento, were found shot in the head and burning the night of June 25 in a rural unincorporated area near Roseville and Granite Bay. The men died of their injuries two days later. Resendes said no arrests have been made in that case.

Talks Break Down With Winger
Crewe move on to two other targets after talks end
Crewe Alexandra Football Club can confirm that advanced talks with a potential new signing have broken down and that Steve Davis and his assistant manager Neil Baker will now be moving on to other targets.
The club were hopeful of signing a promising winger this week, after completing the signing of the Lincoln forward Vadaine Oliver yesterday on a two-year deal, but the club staff have grown increasingly frustrated as talks have stalled between the club, the player and his representative.
With Steve Davis looking to conduct his transfer activity as early as possible, the Crewe coaching staff have now moved on to two other candidates for that particular position.
Crewe are still looking to add a winger and a ball playing central midfield player to increase competition in that area of the field.

Sharp decline in infant mortality since 2000
Last year, 617 out of the 170 thousand live-born babies died in their first year. As a result, the infant mortality rate stood at 3.6 per thousand live births, versus 5.1 in 2000. The infant mortality rate was nearly three times the average among mothers under the age of 20. Infant mortality in the Netherlands is in line with the European Union average. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this based on newly released figures.
Almost 1 in 6 children live in single-parent households
In 2019, 16 percent of all children in the Netherlands were living in a single-parent household. This share has continued to expand over the past two decades. Nine percent of all infants were living with only one parent. The highest shares are found in the cities of Heerlen and Rotterdam.
Child poverty stable in 2018, less long-term poverty
Last year, 264 thousand minors in the Netherlands were living in low-income families, remaining unchanged from the previous year. The number of minors in families living persistently on a low income for at least four years dropped by nearly 5 thousand, ending at 103 thousand. This is evident from the latest figures on at-risk-of-poverty rates, released by Statistics Netherlands (CBS).
Relatively few teenage mothers in the Netherlands
In 2016, 1,492 teenage girls gave birth to a child in the Netherlands. This number was again slightly lower than one year previously. The share of Dutch teenage mothers per one thousand 15 to 19-year-old girls was the lowest of all EU countries.
The Annual Report of the National Youth Monitor provides insights into the situation of the nearly 5 million young people in the Netherlands. The report also includes information about young people in the Caribbean Netherlands. The lives of young people are described using various indicators and themes. Topics addressed here include family situation, children in families on income support, education, labour market, alcohol consumption, crime and crime victim rates, youth care and overall satisfaction with life.
The Annual Report 2016 provides insights into the situation of young people. It describes how the nearly 5 million young persons in the Netherlands are doing, based on certain indicators and current topics. Where possible, the situation among young people in the Caribbean Netherlands is addressed as well. Topics discussed in this annual report include family situation, youth care, living and growing up safely, education, labour, health and crime.
Youth Trends Report 2010 - Summary
This summary presents the main results of the Youth Trends Report 2010, which is based on information from the National Youth Monitor website.


From left: Lorne Batman, Jesse Wood, Brandon Green, Elle Borders, and Joe Kidawski play actors rehearsing a historical drama about race and genocide in Africa.
It's a swaggeringly confident statement that questions its own right to exist. It's a look at the power of language in which words eventually break down entirely. It's a tightly scripted journey that threatens to go off the rails at any moment.
But it's definitely a play. Or maybe a presentation.
The action turns on the axis of six actors' increasingly tense rehearsal for a drama of the same name, and the stutteringly articulated result of their efforts.
This is in many ways a play about its own failure. Playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury, 32, wrote it after abandoning an earlier effort to pen a sweeping historical epic about a little-remembered atrocity — the targeted murder of tens of thousands of Africans by German colonists in the early 20th century.
She also had trouble addressing the issues at hand without lapsing into either the ultra-earnest attitude she'd observed among well-intentioned peers in college, or some level of ironic distance.
So with a deliberately heavy hand, Drury foregrounds the role of stereotypes and race in "We Are Proud to Present . . ." by withholding proper names from her characters; most of the six actors are given identities like Actor 1/White Man and Actor 4/Another Black Man.
Unlike in other theatrical explorations of similar concerns, the author's voice here never intrudes to gobble up the space of the play; the action remains anchored in the vividly realized milieu of a sometimes hilariously awkward rehearsal. Even as sublimated aggression jerks unsteadily toward the surface, the rich, musical rhythms of the dialogue remain funny and fast-paced.
Given the knotty meta-theatrical layering, it's perhaps no surprise that the play originated as Drury's MFA thesis at Brown University. In 2012 it was produced at Victory Gardens Theater in Chicago and then Soho Rep in New York. This is its first Boston production. When it's published this spring, it'll be Drury's first play in print.
The script includes tightly choreographed passages of physical comedy, and meticulous instructions for sequences of rhythmic chanting; Drury admits to carefully revising the line "But, like" to "Like, but" in order to "make sure that it actually sounds as casual or as awkward or as inarticulate as it's supposed to be." But she's deliberately mixed her fine touch for language with a belief that actors and directors must find their own way from Point A to Point B.
One imagines this will suit Drury just fine.

Accessories, decoration and present ideas for a party with Tinkerbell in Neverland.
Organising a Tinkerbell-themed birthday party is to organise a party that's full of magic ! Give little girls the chance to dress up, wear their wings and cast some spells with their magic wands. As for the decoration ? We recommend a sprinkling of gold, just like some fairy dust !
Which decorations should you choose for a Tinkerbell birthday party?
Abracadabra ! Wish that little fairies could do the birthday party decor for you with a swish of a magic wand ? Well we're not sure if that'll happen... But fortunately, at My Little Day we have got our little fairies to select some decorations for your party ! Gold, stars, sequins, your party will shine like a thousand stars !
We advise you to go for gold with a gold tassel garland (super trendy), gold confetti balloons, or even gold spotty plates and cups. And to finish it off, sprinkle the table with gold glitter and confetti, the more it shines, the better !
How do you transform in to a fairy ?
There are several types of fairy ; star fairy, wood fairy, forest fairy, but what links them is, of course, their magic wand ! To transform in to a fairy, My Little Day advises fairy wings, a pretty sparkly tutu, a flower corwn, fairy stickers and tadaaa ! A real little Tinkerbell ! However, to fly at the speed of light, we can't do anything... you need a sprinkle of fairy dust ! And find our DIY to create a super magic wand on our blog ! You're nearly a fairy !


I just want to say how useful I found this app / website while tracking (ex) Hurricane Ophelia come in from the Atlantic and travel up the west coast of Ireland. It was simply invaluable!
The only improvement I could suggest would be to provide Chromecast functionality on the Android/IOS apps. It would be so handy to watch these events on the biggest screen in the house.
I would certainly pay for a pro version of the app just for this feature alone.
Anyway keep up the good work. I'll be recommending to anyone who'll listen.
@Patcheen Hi, thank you for suggestion and kind words!

North Korean hackers unscrupulously used Itaewon incident to forge official documents to spread virus-International
The stampede in Itaewon, South Korea has attracted attention. The Yonhap News Agency reported that the North Korean hacker organization APT37 used the incident to publish fake official reports on the Internet and embed viruses. Once people click on it, their computers will be poisoned. The Google Threat Analysis Team (TAG) pointed out today that around the end of October, the fake document "Itaewon Incident Disposal in Yongsan District—As of 06:00, 2022.10.31 (Monday)" began to circulate. Document a summary of the incident, casualties, government response, etc.
The stampede in Itaewon, South Korea, has attracted attention. More than 20,000 people took to the streets to participate in a candlelight vigil in memory of the victims.
(European News Agency)
[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] The stampede incident in Itaewon, South Korea has attracted attention. Yonhap News Agency reported that the North Korean hacker organization APT37 used the incident to publish fake official reports on the Internet and embed viruses. Computer is infected.
The Google Threat Analysis Team (TAG) pointed out today that around the end of October, the fake document "Itaewon Incident Disposal in Yongsan District—As of 06:00, 2022.10.31 (Monday)" began to circulate. Document a summary of the incident, casualties, government response, etc.
Please read on...
The Google Threat Analysis Team mentioned that the file was implanted with malicious code, because APT37 used to impersonate the Ministry of Unification and the South Korean portal website to spread malicious code, so APT37 is suspected.
The stampede in Itaewon, Seoul, occurred on October 29, causing a total of 158 deaths and 196 injuries. One week after the incident, the authorities set a period of mourning, and leaders around the world also issued messages of condolence.

Serving a 146-year sentence on 20th December 1991.
This murder spree was New Mexico's largest mass slaying.
Ricky was only 29 and he worked as a construction worker in Chimayo, Rio Arriba County, New Mexico. He lived with his girlfriend Ignacita Sandoval 36. Everything started when Ricky came home to find Ignacita packing her belongings, she said she was leaving him. His rage erupted, and he shot Ignacita.
According to reports, Ignacita was already dead when two police officers came to deliver a restraining order. Only a few days prior, Ignacita got a restraining order against Ricky. She told the court that Ricky tried to shoot her. They interrupted Ricky's murder spree and had no idea what was going on at the time. Deputy Sheriff Jerry Martinez 30 and police officer Glen Huber 35 was shot through the window of their car and died on the scene.
Ricky also killed Ignacita's daughter Maryellen(19) and Maryellen's sixth-month-old baby Justin Gonzales. He also killed Maryellen's boyfriend, Marcario Gonzales(19), and Ignacita's sister Cheryl Rendon(24).
Ignacita's son 13 had a non-fatal gunshot wound. It is unknown how many of the victims were already dead when the police arrived, all we do know is that on 26 January 1991 seven people were shot. After the murders, Ricky fled to the hills, and the police searched for him by foot and helicopter.
How did the Police find Ricky?
After a 24 hour manhunt, Ricky went to his brother in law Manuel Sanchez and told him he wants to turn himself in.
Ricky was found guilty and sentenced to 146 years in prison on the 20th December 1991.
According to the police, Ricky had a massive temper and was arrested on previous occasions, the charges were aggravated assault, harassment by telephone and larceny, but he was never convicted.


swimsuits. Olympic swimmers know that fit matters most when it comes to finding the right swimsuit for a major competition. Finding the right fit means designating certain suits for different purposes.
1. Find the right fit for practice means looser fits. Relaxed and slightly loose swimwear is comfortable for practice. Speedo has special elastic in their swimsuits to prevent constriction, even with a more fitted swimsuit. The leg openings on a practice swimsuit should be slightly roomy, but still sit flush to the skin. Not every swimmer wants them as tight as the leg openings on competitive swimwear. For the 2012 Olympics and any major competitive swim meet, you'll notice tight leg openings and nylon fabrics for swimwear.
2. Olympic swimmers are picky about their fabrics for swimsuits. You'll notice many aerodynamic suits at the 2012 Olympics and for good reason. These thin, fitted suits sit like a second skin on a swimmer's body, making it easy to swim fast and move freely under water. Olympic swimmers know that a suit's fit and fabric can help or hinder their performance. One popular trend is for Olympic swimmers to wear full body suits. These are often more expensive than other swimsuits, but are well worth the money since they are ideal for competitive swimming. Innovative fabrics and techniques are implemented for these full body suits. Full body suits should be very snug, but never too tight or cut off circulation. These full body suits may not affect your performance while practicing, but the aerodynamic fabric will potentially help shave seconds off competitive meets.
3. Be careful with swimsuit straps. The vast majority of swimsuits do not have straps. Swimsuit straps slow down competitive swimmers, so straps are usually an extension of the torso portion of the suit. Competitive swimmers don't need tie-style straps holding them down. Make sure armholes are wide enough to be comfortable, but never with excess or puckering fabric in any area.
4. Be sure there's adequate coverage in the back. Like with armholes, there shouldn't be any tugging or puckering in the bottom area for women or men. If the style doesn't seem to work with your shape, try a different style versus changing sizes in the exact same suit. You'll notice that Olympic swimmers wear different styles of swimsuits and this is because they choose what works for their bodies while staying within the competition's swimwear guidelines.
Check out a Speedo racing swimsuit the next time you're looking for a new suit. You'll notice Speedo is a brand favored by Olympic athletes and competitive swimmers around the globe.

Elimination of Wildcat Wire calls for student responsibility
Story by The Baker Orange Editorial Board
September 2 marked the last time the Wildcat Wire would appear in our inboxes, but for some students, this means we might actually have to rely on something other than a computer screen to figure out when we need to be somewhere.
It was only a few years ago when all professors could freely send messages to the entire campus, and although students were well aware of BU events, this system was not well-received. It was for this reason the Wildcat Wire was created.
The automated mailing system was developed to prevent students and faculty from opening their Baker email accounts and finding it full of messages promoting events they had little interest in.
This process meant sorting through countless messages in hopes of finding one that was relevant to one's own Baker life. It also led to many, many clicks of the delete button.
With the elimination of the Wildcat Wire, only certain members of the university staff are now allowed to send out emails relating to certain departmental or organizational events. This new system places the responsibility of communicating to students in the hands of select members of each department so that they can promote and represent themselves.
The new system was designed to allow professors to connect to students in a way they couldn't previously. By receiving emails from the representative of the department or organization from which the email is being sent, students see messages with specific content that will hopefully be less likely to be ignored than the Wildcat Wire.
Previously, there was a deadline to get information into the Wildcat Wire, and since it was an automated system, some information would be pushed to the bottom as new information came in. However, sometimes the old events and information remained on the email even after the date had passed. The Wildcat Wire did manage to organize the information and created less of a headache for students who wanted to know what was going on without reading through email after email.
Members of the university have always and will probably continue to struggle with finding ways to avoid overwhelming students with useless and irrelevant information, while still managing to get across the information that the student body needs to know. How else would we find out when organizations are meeting or what the possible choices are for Interterm?
These issues stem not only from our reliance on email communication, but from our own inability to figure out where we can place information that will spread knowledge in a way that doesn't become a frustration. From posters to informational tables, there are countless other ways to get the word out.
When students wake up on a Monday morning, the last thing they want to find in their inboxes is 20 unread messages. But face it — we are in the age of information. It is important that we step outside of the digital box that seems to surround us today and find more effective ways to communicate. Communication is one of the most important skills a college student should acquire, and the elimination of the Wildcat Wire is the perfect opportunity for us to take advantage of the chance to spread the word in other ways besides through a message on a screen.
Although the student body didn't have a chance to voice many opinions in the decision to take away the Wildcat Wire, and most of the campus wasn't here when emails were streaming in, the university is doing us a favor by letting us use our own knowledge and resources to figure out who, what, when, where, and why.

Q: Why is SIGAR returning NaN or zero randomly Trying to run SIGAR rapidly to get a number of hardware metric samples, and I see this behavior:
val sig: Sigar = new Sigar()
val steady_cpu: Double = (for (i <- 1 to 100) yield sig.getCpuPerc().getUser()).sum / 100.0

where steady_cpu results to NaN. Looking at the generated list, the NaN's come from the getUser() call returning NaN

A: General issue seems to be that SIGAR calls are potentially stateful, and calling the functions too quickly does not give SIGAR time to rebuild it's internal state. I'd guess that they are counting CPU cycles or something similar, which is typically an approximate science, and if you call functions too rapidly the internal libraries end up dividing by zero. The fix is to add a short sleep between calls:
val sig: Sigar = new Sigar()
val steady_cpu: Double = (for (i <- 1 to 100) yield {
  Thread.sleep(10);
  sig.getCpuPerc().getUser()
}).sum / 100.0


Manager of the West Indies A Team, Lockhart Sebastien, feels his team's opening One-Day loss against Sri Lanka A at the Grenada National Stadium yesterday was due to "overconfidence".
The manager was speaking a day after the West Indies A fell to a four wicket defeat in St George's. After amassing 282 for 9 from their 50 overs, the West Indies A bowlers failed to stop the Sri Lanka A batsmen as the visitors scored 287 for 6 in 46.4 overs.
But Sebastien was left equally as shocked as to how friendly the pitch was towards batsmen. Opener Lendl Simmons struck 106 runs in a knock that included seven boundaries and two sixes. Kirk Edwards and Narsingh Deonarine were among the other five batsmen that struck half-centuries in the match.


If you are considering a kitchen remodel, you may be considering granite countertops. Granite is one of the most popular choices in countertops, but there are things you should understand before choosing granite. You want to be sure your cabinets work well with the granite you choose. If you are wondering how to match your granite countertop, these tips can help.
White or Tan Granite Countertop?
Most people believe that it would be easy to match cabinets with white or tan granite. However, granite is rarely ever pure white. In fact, it is usually off-white with flecks or veins of darker colors. Dark cabinets of espresso or black create a contrast, but you may find that too stark. Instead, try to find cabinets that tie into the veining of the granite rather than the background. You may also consider glazing your current cabinets so that they better match white or tan granite.
If you are wondering how to match your granite countertop that is medium to dark, you may want to consider natural wood, like oak. If you already have oak cabinets, consider a granite that is medium-brown with gold or caramel veining. You can also add contrast by choosing granite with very light or very dark veining which work well with hickory or maple cabinets. If you have a lot of natural light in your room, consider black cabinets with granite with dark veining but lighter backgrounds.
Dark to black granite makes a very bold statement in a room and you want your cabinetry to match that statement. Cherry cabinets actually compliment black granite, creating sophistication and elegance. An espresso finish gives the appearance of black without being exactly like the countertop. Although white is a popular option for dark to black granite, you are not limited to light or white cabinets. Gray is an option, but you can add a whimsical look by adding brightly colored cabinets of blue, green or yellow.
Choosing the right natural stone for your project can be intimidating. If you need assistance or guidance in choosing the right granite or the right cabinetry for your home improvement or commercial project, our knowledgeable, friendly staff can help. They can guide you through the process and help you choose the granite or cabinets that will match your style and chosen décor. Contact us today by phone or by completing the easy form online.


Home game or away game? That is the question. Where you choose to host your wedding is a decision to take your time with. It is a big one as it influences so many things: budget, style, guest list and overall experience.
Staying close to home for your big day can make for a more authentic feeling, one where you and your guests get to experience the place that you and your fella call, well… home. Your nearby friends and family can be called upon to host events or guests. And, using local partners is a generous way of supporting your community as it supports you.
Further afield, your wedding becomes both an event and a vacation! Beach or mountainside, the destination says a lot about you, your story and your interests. You get to focus even more on yourselves and your wedding, while your guests vow to remain BFFs long after they've experience your love atop a mountain. And, while they are slightly more complicated logistically, depending on the locale, your contributions leave as much of a mark on the place, as it will on you.
Spend time thinking about how you want your wedding location to tell your story, create a unique experience or offer a basis for your wedding theme. Because, where you wed says as much about you as how you wed!


Jeonju is full of things to see, enjoy and eat. But don't forget the souvenirs for your friends, family or for yourself. Today, I'll introduce special DIY(do-it-yourself) souvenirs from Jeonju. These souvenirs will help you cherish the good memories from the city of traditional Korean culture.
Jeonju Hanji paper is famous for its durability, lightness and permeability. Therefore, Hanji is considered the best material for making fans. In the past, when no air conditioner existed, before the summer, Koreans used to exchange fans as gifts.
Jeonju Fan Culture Center, located in the Hanok Village, exhibits a variety of fans that teaches the history of fan and fan-making.
Jeonju Fan Culture Center also runs fan-making program. During the weekdays, you can decorate jeopsun (foldable fan). During the weekends, you get to make dansun (round fan).
This is where you get to experience fan-making. The fans displayed here are made at the center and for sale. I felt like a fan-artist.
I chose the Hanji paper and started making.
I painted glue all over the Hanji paper and attached the bamboo skeletons. Then, I placed another layer of Hanji paper over the skeletons.
Then, I started treading to get rid of the air. I also used hair dryer to dry the glue completely.
The next step is shaping the fan and attaching another layer of paper along the boundary. Then, I attached the handle. In the past, the handle was nailed to the fan, but these days, glue is enough. The DIY fan is complete! I learned much about the traditional Korean fan through this fan-making program.
Moju is an alcoholic beverage made from the residue left after rice wine is drained. The residue is boiled for around ten hours with ginger, cinnamon, licorice, Chinese date and other medicinal herbs. Then, the famous Moju is complete. Unlike rice wines, Moju is not fizzy and has low alcohol content (because it's boiled). Therefore, a bowl of Moju is considered a good morning drink.
This is Jeonju Traditional Wine Museum. During the weekdays, the museum runs home-brewing and traditional Korean wine tasting programs. During the weekends, the museum runs Moju filtering program. I recommend booking in advance.
This is where you experience Moju-making. The Hanok building seemed very elegant and warm. The Moju-making program runs from 1PM to 4PM. The fee is 8000 won per person.
These are what are needed to make Moju. When this thing in the washbowl is filtered, clear liquid of Moju will appear. This contains a variety of oriental herbal medicinal herbs.
Scoop the thing in the washbowl over the screen and filter the liquid with your own hands.
This filtered liquid is Moju. Since making Moju from scratch takes too much time, the program only does filtering. This is simple but fun!
This filtered Moju has more flavors than the mass-produced Moju in supermarkets, made only with rice wine. The DIY Moju is a great souvenir.
Jeonju Choco Pie is one of the most famous souvenir from Jeonju. In the train station or express bus terminal, you can easily come across people holding boxes of Jeonju Choco Pie. However, it may be more meaningful if you make one by yourself.
This is where Jeonju Choco Pie making program is held. The room on the 3rd floor of the buliding is decorated in the Hanok-style. The 2nd floor is a café selling different flavors of Jeonju Choco Pie (banana, blueberry, pumpkin and others).
Washing hands and wearing an apron are must for this program. Making Choco Pie is easy enough for children. I recommend booking in advance, since this program is very popular.
I learned that the shape of chocolate over Choco Pie symbolizes the old Korean coin. After a brief explanation, I started making Choco Pie. The chocolate cookie is already offered to expedite the process. I only needed to decorate with the ingredients on the table. First, squeeze the cream over the chocolate cookie before pasting the jam. Cover it with another chocolate cookie.
Then, it's time to get liquid chocolate over the cookie. You may choose whatever shape you want: face, animal, letters and the like.
While waiting for the chocolate to harden in the fridge, I started decorating the wrapper. You can write a letter or draw a picture for people close to you.
When the Choco Pies are stored in the box, the DIY Choco Pie is complete! When you visit Jeonju I recommend try making the pies rather than simply buying the ready-made ones.
