The "social value" trigger
An idea has been percolating for me a while. We don't advocate ending soap and shampoo commercials or unrealistic images of cleanliness out of concern for those with compulsive hand-washing or contamination OCDs, yet we do argue for changing the media to protect those vulnerable to eating disorders - should we?
If our society put a value on untidiness, or fatness, would OCDs and eating disorders take a different form? Is it the level of social value or the level of underlying brain pathology at issue?
I'm pretty sure that the "social" part of bio-psycho-social is about how humans pick up on morality in whatever form it exists. If thinness is valued then a brain primed to get its needle stuck on moral themes is picking up on the cue.
By this logic, yes: our society's mania for ectomorphs and our fat-phobia play a role in 'triggering' eating disorders. But that doesn't mean these values cause EDs. No one thinks people with OCDs got them from Ivory Soap commercials. We know intuitively that the illness is in the brain and the particular behaviors are unique to the individual's experiences.
The rub: eating disorder behaviors have the unhappy symptom of nurturing those patterns in the brain through malnutrition and setting off primal instincts around famine: effectively overriding efforts to turn the compulsive thoughts off.
(For the record, I advocate boycotting and demanding change in the media's images for another reason: because they are stupid, vapid, sexist, and harmful for ALL of us. What I'm questioning is how it all relates to eating disorders and whether our zest to shelter patients from the media actually validates their anxiety.)

I think you're right about the potential harm in trying to keep patients away from negative media/influences.
for me, I think it's been most useful to really understand the facts & the marketing. I know that diets don't work, I know that models are airbrushed & health benefits wrt weight loss & exercise are often inflated.
Actually believing this has allowed me to just roll my eyes when I'm at the store & all the trendy magazines are covered in wt loss articles.
it's also been useful for me to think about what I personally value, which isn't stick thin beauty, so when the news all seems to say it's morally better to eat & weigh less, I can remind myself that I don't have to let them dictate what I value.

Despite the face that this line made me laugh out loud, this is one of the most serious problems facing those with eating disorders. Thank you.
And I agree - I think the issues in the media effect everyone, not just people with eating disorders. It's gotten to the point where my boyfriend - straight, white, male - complains about how HE'S stereotyped in media...and the sad thing is, he's right.

I agree with everything you say here, Laura. Also, not all diets are prompted by a desire to meet the media's view of beauty. Lots of athletes, for example, restrict not because of media images, but because they think their sport demands it, i.e. gymnasts, figure skaters, distance runners, rowers, etc. Eating disorders are prevalent in these sports, suggesting that restricting may be the first stage in the development of the illness regardless of whether the original reason for the restricting was media influence or something else (like sports competition.) Therefore, the ED world's heavy emphasis on the media may not only be detrimental, as you suggest, but also not adequately address a big reason (athletics) why some people restrict in the first place.
I have to admit that I'm far more concerned about the non-stop bad foods "health" messages than stick-thin models who may or may not be photoshopped. And these messages aren't relegated to the media--though they're ubiquitous there--these messages are in our schools and doctor's offices, on the playground, the gym, the grocery store, TV reality shows, and practically everywhere else. (For the record, I did stop my subscriptions to Allure and Vanity Fair when my daughter was actively ill and very symptomatic, mostly due to the highly stylized ads. I am back to picking these publications up occasionally, when the mood hits me.)
Research is coming out regularly pointing to "overweight" people being the least likely to die from nearly anything (all-cause mortality), yet the war on obesity continues unabated. Fat is still the enemy whether it's on your abdomen or thighs or in your food, no matter who you are--even if you're a growing kid.
It makes me long for the days when moms were expected to insist that children finish their milk, and to serve three square hot meals most days. (Oh, and serve spinach or liver once a week.) And everyone understood that kids (girls, especially) got a little more rounded with the onset of puberty, and that teenagers ate one out of house and home, but also understood that was the natural order of things.
I have a 12-year-old, and "putting on weight" is THE hot topic among the moms of her peers right now. I have to say that most of the ones I hear talking about it are plainly quite concerned that their little girl has gotten a bit chubby lately, and have started talking to their girls about dieting and exercise. Some have even taken them to their doctor who had a chat with the daughter about eating a lowfat, high fiber, lots of veggies diet and warned them off nearly everything else. Wouldn't you know it, these are the same moms who prepared only foods like that anyway--so they cut these girls back from there.
I'm sure moms of OCD-afflicted, obsessive hand-washing kids cringe when hand sanitizer commercials come on, or when they are asked to provide two bottles of the stuff as school supplies. I know I would. But that's a problem because of OCD symptoms, not with the cause of the disease. Moms with typical kids who don't wash their hands thoroughly unless you stand over them with a cattle prod don't even much notice, nor should they.
I do, however, think that current health guidelines and our fat-and-weight obsessed culture IS a problem that contributes to the development of EDs. And it contributes to other health problems as well.

I saw a Swiffer ad in a magazine and I burst out laughing as I thought of this post. I wanted to do slap a Renfrew-esque sticker on it that says "This promotes unhealthy standards of cleanliness!"
Of course, size zero models and "healthy eating" are part of the cultural milieu in which eating disorders occur, and some of my remaining recovery work is figuring out how to navigate this messed-up cultural landmine of ours. But EDs existed before supermodels and they'll exist after.

I think we're too apt to run looking for an explanation for what triggered the eating disorder in the first place. I was a competitive cross country runner, and a lot of the girls I ran with at the college level exhibited "disordered eating" without crossing the line into a full blown eating disorder. The statistics on the number of pre-adolescent girls who are dieting is frightening and is in large part due to the ideal presented in the media, but yet again, only a small number cross the line into anorexia.
Other things like histories of abuse, families that have fights at mealtimes, overbearing mothers trying to keep their children tiny, etc. have all been blamed for eating disorders at various points.
In the end, though, I think the genetic basis is the key focus. The patient starts restricting intake for whatever reason- even religious fasting in the 16th century- and neural processes are activated because of their genetic susceptibility. The trigger may differ, but I don't think the prevalance is actually changing much... I'm not saying those things can't serve as triggers, but trying to get the medical community to stop encouraging healthy diets, parents to keep their kids away from athletics, and magazines to stop putting size zero models on the cover is futile and won't do much for the raw numbers of children affected.

History of the Canal
Home » History of the Canal
The Gloucester and Sharpness Canal was built to by-pass the treacherous tidal stretch of the River Severn below Gloucester. At a higher level than the River, the canal is entered via the sea lock at Sharpness or by locking up from the Severn at Gloucester. It is still a commercial waterway but it is now mainly used by pleasure boats and can accommodate vessels up to 240 ft in length and 30 ft beam. An excellent website detailing the Gloucester and Sharpness Docks and the canal can be found here.
The sea lock at Sharpness – entrance from the sea into the Sharpness Canal. At the time of its completion in 1827 it was the largest and deepest Ship canal in the world. Part of the canal at Netheridge was re-aligned along a new excavated channel in 2006.
A familiar site in Gloucester Docks and on the Sharpness canal is the excursion boat the 'King Arthur'. There are several other cruise and excursion boats working the canal.
The wide ship canal is some 14 nautical miles long and is punctuated by many swing and one bascule bridge. The bridges are manned, or operated by cctv, and are controlled by traffic lights on the bank; there are plans to make some bridges user operated.
The canal traverses remote and pleasant countryside and offers views of the Severn Estuary , the Cotswolds and the distant hills of Wales. A number of canal side pubs are easily accessible.
Junction (Saul) bridge marks the crossing of the disused Stroudwater (Cotswold) canal that once linked the Severn and the Thames. There are plans to re open this link.
The wildlife center at Slimbridge is only a short walk from the bridge at Patch.
Several vantage points to view the Severn Bore are within walking distance from the Sharpness Canal.
Find out more about the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal by visiting the excellent Canal Trust website.

American-Japanese Aerospace Military Force Launches in 2019
Patty Inglish MS
Ms. Inglish has 30 years experience in medicine, psychology, STEM instruction, history; and aerospace education for USAF Civil Air Patrol.

President Donald Trump announced in March 2018 that America needs a space force. He did not know that America had already joined with Japan in 2014 to launch such a combined patrol force in 2019.
The Federation of Planets Begins
A few scant sentences on an Internet media source tipped us off to big plans between America and Japan. Previously, we found that Japan and NASA were working together on aerospace partnerships and have been doing so for several years. In 2014, these space partners of sorts announced plans for a combined aerospace military group launching in 2019.
Thousands of Pieces of Debris Litter Space
The goal of the military space group is to deflect and/or eliminate space junk in the cosmos before it can damage ships, space stations, satellites, and other equipment launched by the various space agencies of Earth. As of March 2018, over 500,000 pieces of debris are clogging near-earth space, many of them very small. Together, they cause problems.
Because the new program of space junk elimination is undertaken by joint military efforts, the activity takes on a military and defense aspect more than it appears as a garbage cleanup detail.
In 2017, more than 20,000 pieces of space junk are bigger than a softball, some zooming faster than 17,000 mph, according to NASA...The Air Force Space Surveillance System, which shut down in 2013 after 50 years, tracked about 20,000 objects. Space Fence, a tracking system being built by Lockheed Martin on the remote South Pacific island of Kwajalein, is expected to be able to track 200,000.
— Stars and Stripes; April 10, 2017
Interestingly, the United Nations keeps a registry of all items launched into space at its Office for Outer Space Affairs in Vienna. As of today, I count 38 separate countries that have launched objects into space, which likely is a surprise to some Americans familiar with the Space Age activities of only USA, Russia/USSR, Canada, China, Japan, Italy, and perhaps Australia and Korea. Even small Lithuania and large Mexico have launched something into space.
The new joint military program can target particular objects. What will be the disposition of objects whose countries want them returned is unclear.
The debris clean up project has been discussed at Japan's Space Expo 2014 during July 19, 2014 through September 23, 2014. The Expo highlights American space history and the new Japanese advancements that include:

Kibo experimental module

Debris Elimination and Information
In early 2010, a company called Star Inc. won a US government contract from the Navy/SPAWAR division to run a feasibility study on eliminating space debris.
SPAWAR is the US Navy Information Dominance Systems Command, associated with communications and data for warfighters and aerospace activities. That might sound ominous enough to alert the public's expectations of conflict in outer space for control of resources and properties. If that conflict occurs, then Japan and the USA have already staked a claim on this new frontier.
The Japanese call the aerospace frontier The Fourth Battlefield, - according to Kelsey-Campbell Dollaghan in a substantial article placed by GISMODO under a heading at "Star Wars."
Aerospace is the fourth battlefield after the traditional Land, Sea, and Air. Paul Revere would need to add "and three if by air space" if he were warning the public of enemy attack today.
In another consideration, humans seem to have now littered the land, the sea, and the cosmos.
Another main goal will be monitoring military activity in space, information that will also be shared with the U.S. Strategic Command. In other words, this is our first step into a truly militarized space.
— Kelsey-Campbell Dollaghan, 2014
From the South China Morning Post; August 4, 2014
According to the source, Japan and the US had been paying close attention to the debris issue since 2007, when a missile launched from China destroyed one of its own satellites as a test.
... in Washington in May, the Japanese and US governments pledged to enhance their cooperation on using satellites for debris monitoring and marine surveillance...

Help From Australian Space Junk Tracking Station
Lockheed Martin joined the Australian technology company called Electro Optic Systems PTY Ltd. to track space debris at a dedicated tracking station in Australia.
The station equipment will tell us what comprises the debris, how fast it is traveling, and in what direction is its spin. This adds accuracy and speed to the concept of garbage collection in space and Japan has already produced means of pulling trash out of the cosmos with magnetic nets.
What About This Space Garbage?
The Future of Space Forces
Space debris likely can supply large quantities of data of use to America's military and private aerospace programs. In addition, some of the debris probably can be recycled for military or private use and perhaps government contracts will awarded for that recycling.
Japan's JAXA space agency apparently has wanted to clean up cosmic space around the Earth and Luna for several years, according to speculation around the Internet.
"Cleaning up" a place can also mean monitoring it and providing law enforcement protection, as in "cleaning up the streets" from crime. Some credence can be given to public concern that the military garbage collection program can lead to military control of near-Earth space and of Earth itself.
In February 2014, a JAXA program launched a test satellite to determine if the equipment will operate and open as needed, ultimately in order to collect debris in the near future.

Austin Quattlebaum is no stranger to the stage. He's been performing solo all over the country since 2012. His childhood home of Savannah, GA shines through in the swampy tones and sleepy Southern lilt of his banjo and melodies. And in his titling, as well-it doesn't get much more Savannah than The Ghost Tangled in the Oaks, the name of his 2013 LP.
His solo performances blend gritty originals and tasteful covers; weaving 3 finger banjo, clawhammer and flat-picking guitar songs into his sets seamlessly. Sung with a bit of gravel in his throat, his tunes are sure to get the crowd's attention.
When Quattlebaum's adventures landed him in Portland nearly 3 years ago he quickly dove into the local music scene and founded the up and coming bluegrass band, Crow and the Canyon. (C.&.t.C. hit the Portland scene with a bang, achieving many accolades and notoriety in their short history.) In addition to Crow and the Canyon, Quattlebaum can also be seen with the 8 headed folk monster band from San Francisco, The Sam Chase and the Untraditional. Raising a ruckus at festivals like Outside Lands, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, and High Sierra. Whether taking the stage with one of his projects or all on his own, Quattlebaum isn't shy and always brings a good time.

Airbus eyes shallower industrial recovery after snags - sources
PARIS (Reuters) -Airbus is tempering the pace of planned production increases due in part to the limited availability of engines for new airplane production, industry sources said on Wednesday. The planemaker, which softened output goals last month, now expects to reach an interim production target of 65 single-aisle jets a month in late 2024 and an ultimate target of 75 a month in 2026, months later than originally planned, they said. The shallower "hockey stick" recovery would allow Airbus' COVID 19-wounded supply chain to reset and prepare a more reliable catch-up from mid-decade following widespread snags.
German plans to end crop-based biofuels would hit farmers, cut rapeseed output
Any German government plans to stop crop-based biofuel production would severely hit farmers and cut rapeseed output, Thomas Mielke, CEO of Hamburg-based oilseeds analysts Oil World said on Wednesday. Smaller crushings of oilseeds in Germany would lead to a widening of the domestic protein deficit for animal feed and mean increased imports of soybeans and soymeal, Mielke said. German environment minister Steffi Lemke is proposing an end to production of crop-based biofuels in stages by 2030.
However, the unemployment rate during the quarter was the lowest in a fourth quarter since 2008, the report showed. The number of unemployed people rose to 3.02 million, up from 2.98 million three months earlier, while the number of employed people fell 82,000 during the quarter, when traditionally companies in the tourism and retail industries hire more people. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast Spain's unemployment rate would fall to 12.50%.

My interest in counselling as a profession was first fuelled in a previous career as an International Corporate Moving Consultant. I found that amid dealing with the practicalities of an overseas relocation assignment, an individual or family would typically also benefit from talking about their feelings, from excitement and hope to some trepidation and concerns that may be present around such change.
As a Dipl. Trained Reflexologist, I also experienced many clients finding that, in the nurturing, safety and human connection of a reflexology session, they were able to talk and reflect on different aspects of their lives.
2003-2005 Post Graduate Dipl. in Counselling – at Thames Valley University. BACP validated.
2008 – Achieved Accreditation status with BACP.
2010-2011 – Post Grad. Cert. in Counselling Supervision at Leeds University.
During my training I had the opportunity of placements at a bereavement centre, a university (Sheffield Hallam) and an alcohol/substance use agency. This and my subsequent ten years continuous practice has led me to have worked with over 600 clients in over 3000 counselling sessions. For the most part of my ten years post qualification experience, I have been practising in a substance use/alcohol agency with clients presenting with a myriad of issues, linked or not to their alcohol/drug use.
In addition to my private practice in Brighouse, I provide counselling within an NHS IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies) service in Halifax and am a BUPA recognised Mental Health therapist.

Setup as a service on Linux
===========================

In GNU/Linux, the recommended way of setting up the bot as a service is using [systemd](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemd). It is installed by default on all distros I've used, from both the Debian and Red Hat branches of Linux

Setting TediCross up as a service means it will automatically start during boot, and will also try to restart itself if it crashes.

Only the first part (Setting up the service) is strictly necessary, but the rest give you nice log files

Setting up the service
----------------------

The setup is quite simple. Make the file `/etc/systemd/system/tedicross.service` and populate it with the following:

```
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/npm start
WorkingDirectory=/home/tedicross/TediCross
Restart=always
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
SyslogIdentifier=tedicross
User=tedicross
Group=tedicross
Environment=TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=secret
Environment=DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=secret

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```

Adjust the file to suit your needs. I have TediCross running as a dedicated user `tedicross`, but you can use any user. `root` will work, but is NOT recommended!

Also point `WorkingDirectory` to wherever your TediCross files are

You can, if you want to, supply the bot tokens through the service file. Put them at their respective lines in the file. This requires that `token` in TediCross' `settings.json` is set to `"env"`. If you prefer to give the tokens through `settings.json`, just remove the two lines starting with `Environment`

When you are happy with the file, run the command `systemctl enable tedicross`. This activates the service. You can then control the service and check its status with the commands `systemctl start|stop|restart|status tedicross` (pick one of the middle words).

Note that after editing the service file, you need to run the command `systemctl daemon-reload` followed by `systemctl restart tedicross` to apply them

Output
------

Output from the bot ends up in the system log, i.e. `/var/log/messages` along with a lot of other system stuff. TediCross' messages can be identified by the identifier `tedicross`, set in the service file.

You can also redirect the output to its own, dedicated log file. To do this, make the file `/etc/rsyslog.d/tedicross.conf` and put the following into it:

```
if $programname == 'tedicross' then /var/log/tedicross/tedicross.log
if $programname == 'tedicross' then ~
```

Then run the command `systemctl restart rsyslog`.

You then get a nice log file at `/var/log/tedicross/tedicross.log`, as indicated by the file

Logrotate
---------

The log file `/var/log/tedicross/tedicross.log` will just grow and grow and grow. It might therefore be a good idea to set up `logrotate` for it. `logrotate` chops the log file into individual days and deletes them after they become too old.

To set it up, create the file `/etc/logrotate.d/tedicross` and put the following into it:

```
/var/log/tedicross/tedicross.log {
  rotate 12
  daily
  compress
  missingok
  notifempty
}
```

That's it! You will now get nicely rotated logs which will not consume every single byte of your disk if left running long enough

    }
}

I tried to delete object with
accountRepository.delete(account) - same result
accountRepository.deleteById(accountById) - same result
I added @Transactional only on delete method because Spring asked me that.
{
    "status": 500,
    "message": "No EntityManager with actual transaction available for current thread - cannot reliably process 'remove' call; nested exception is javax.persistence.TransactionRequiredException: No EntityManager with actual transaction available for current thread - cannot reliably process 'remove' call",
    "timestamp": 1585730989245
}

I think I have a problems in my relations between entities.
Thank You.
UPDATE:
AccountRepository
public interface AccountRepository extends JpaRepository<Account, Integer> {
    Account findByEmail(String email);

    Account findByUser(User user);

    @Query(value = "select email from vshop_schema.compte u where u.utilisateur_id = ?1", nativeQuery = true)
    String findEmailByUserId(int id);

    void deleteAccountByUserId(int id);
}

UPDATE: Another operations (Save, Update, Get) works good.

A: I found a solution.
I put custom query above deleteById method
@Modyfing
@Query("delete from /name-of-table/ n where n./column-name/ = ?1", nativeQuery=true)
void deleteById (int id);

But anyway I didn't understand why it doesn't work without custom queries with default delete or deleteById methods.

Councillor in hot waters
Cllr. Vincent Waters accused The Extra of acting illegally.
John A. MacInnes
Published: 11:18 Thursday 09 February 2017
A councillor who The Extra revealed last week was claiming to be homeless may now be the subject of a complaint to the Scottish Housing regulator.
Councillor Vincent Waters, an SNP member who represents Ward Three, Giffnock and Thornliebank approached East Renfrewshire Council where he is Convener for the Environment advising he was homeless and was placed in a two-bedroom fully-furnished flat.
Cllr Waters has also alleged this week, using social media, that The Extra illegally obtained the information contained in last week's story.
We assert our reporting was based on good old-fashioned investigative journalism, and urged Waters to report his concerns to Police Scotland.
To date, we have heard nothing.
Cllr Waters launched into an insulting tirade against a number of people on his Facebook feed after they had responded to his offer to ask if they wanted to know the truth, leading one, a Mr Andrew Montgomery to complain to ERC over the housing debacle.
Mr Montgomery told The Extra: I've made a formal complaint to ERC to ascertain how Cllr Waters received a two-roomed fully-furnished homeless flat, and on the basis of the response I receive I have it in mind to report this situation to Police Scotland for the consideration of a prosecution."
At the time of going to press Cllr Waters had not responded.

But when we look back at those experiences, we'll see our friends, the ones who got us through everything, and we'll realize how lucky we are to have them."

This page goes into detail about some of the different experiences I've had with DDRMax. It's also the repository for my high scores, so hopefully you won't mind a bit of self-promotion as well.
Ahh, yes. The first version of DDR that I played and one of my favorites too. DDRMax (USA) has a ton of great songs in it, ranging from the sublimely easy (Cutie Chaser!) to the extremely difficult (Max300). I recently managed to get a copy of the Japanese version of DDRMax (6th Mix) as well, so those songs are included here too (some really obscure - but good! - songs in there). Rather than ramble on any further here, I'm going to first post the table of my scores, followed by comments and reflection below.

Yozora No Muko (Heavy) 49,851,260 AA 663 664 99.85% 1 SDG (1) Aaahhhh! 9-footer here!
A couple notes about the table... All songs are Heavy unless listed otherwise; I am not keeping track of Light and Standard scores to avoid clutter (and going crazy). The scores for all songs in DDRMax have a maximum value of 50,000,000 (which can only be achieved with a "AAA"), and then a bonus is added onto that score after the song is complete (for simplicity's sake, I have not listed the bonuses for each song). Any score over 50,000,000 comes from playing the same song on a different version of DDR, most likely DDRMax2 or DDR Extreme. "SDG" is an abbreviation for "single-digit greats", meaning that the player was within 9 Dance Points or fewer of getting a "AAA". SDGs are essentially a level between "AA"s and "AAA"s, since the latter are so rare. I am also using the words "Almost" and "Miss" instead of the word "Boo" to avoid any confusion.
This song is a fun 9-footer, one of the rare songs that I like to come from DDR 5th Mix. Broken My Heart moves along at a brisk 160bpm and throws a lot of different things at you: a sixteenth note pattern to start, a number of crossovers, lots of double steps in the middle of eighth note runs, and so on. It's not the easiest song, but I've always liked the music that went along with it. A good song to play.
Luv Unlimited! Definitely one of my favorite songs, Candy is a very fast (196bpm), very happy Japanese pop song which serves as the One More Extra Stage in this particular mix. It also happens to be the music that plays during the credits. The speed of this song makes it a fun 8-footer, even though it's packed with crossovers. You can spin in this song too, although that's tough to do. Playing this song makes me happy.
Now this is another very cool song. Ecstasy is a rather easy 7-footer, but the steps are written to accompany the music beautifully, making it highly entertaining to play. There are also two stops in the music to make it more interesting, the first one being two measures long and the second one four measures in length (this is where my friend Chris says the song "stops forever"). Ecstasy was one of the first songs that I learned how to do on Heavy, and it's still one that I play frequently. I also like this version much better than the remixed Ecstasy in 7th Mix.
This song comes from all the way back in 4th Mix days, but it's still a good one. Era starts out with short streams of eighth notes (flying along at 180bpm), then gradually extends them longer and longer until a slowdown to 90bpm (half-tempo) occurs at the halfway point. The rhythm synchs with the music during the slow section, then the tempo goes back to 180bpm and the long eighth note runs return, capped off by a final one of 63 notes in a row. A great workout to warm up for a DDR session.
Exotic Ethnic is one of the hardest songs in DDRMax, a blazing 9-footer racing along at 190bpm and packed with difficult eighth note patterns. If it were just the speed, the song wouldn't be too hard, but the eighth notes can only be done easily through constant turning of the body. Since I stink at these kind of crossovers, this song is tough. If that's not enough, this song has about a million freeze notes in it. Still, I do like this song, and the background music has a neat Indian theme, making extensive use of sitar. What's not to like about that?
All I can say is WOW. This is a VERY hard piece of music, and I am inordinately proud of myself for being able to get a "AA" on it. Healing Vision Angelic Mix starts out at an amazingly slow 49bpm (!) as the initial arrow pair slowly scrolls up to the top of the screen. As soon as you hit the first note, the song immediately speeds up to 196bpm with no break whatsoever and launches into a series of difficult eighth note runs. If you aren't prepared, you're likely to fail out within the first 10 measures. The song keeps pounding run after run at the player (many with double steps mixed in) with no chance to rest, until about 3/4 of the way through the song there is a stop in the music - for 1 beat! - followed by a devastating run of 128 straight eighth notes into the end of the song. Brutal, just brutal. Only the very talented will be able to dominate this song.
Can you say "gallops?" This song is quite fast at 180bpm, and anyone who can't do gallops will quickly be out of this 9-footer. Matsuri is probably one of my best songs in all of the DDR games, simply because there is exactly 1 crossover in the entire piece (right at the end), and I am very good at locking into the tempo and getting all of the steps. Matsui has a LOT of notes; 447 according to its step chart, so it's a test of endurance in many ways. Many long runs of eighths and/or gallops here. Lots of fun for those reasons.
Out of the dozens of Paranoias, this is probably my favorite. Paranoia Evolution flies along at 200bpm the whole way and doesn't try to do anything real tricky, just firing run after run of eighth notes at the player. Many of them have double steps in them, and a lot start on off-beats too (fun). Although this is one of the hardest songs in DDRMax, for some reason it's only an 8-footer? OK, sure, but it's a tough one.
Rhythm and Police is one of the most popular DDR songs of all time; apparently this was the theme song music to an obscure Japanese TV police show. In any case, this fast (170bpm) 9-footer has nothing but gallops and crossovers strung throughout its length, making it one of my worst songs in this mix. It has the distinction of being the last song in DDRMax that I got an "A" on, which should give you an indication of the difficulty. Love the background music for the song though, very upbeat and catchy.
Ahh, the most difficult and only 10-footer in DDRMax. In fact, Max300 was the first-ever 10-footer and is also the song for which the entire game is named. With that in mind, you know it has to be a doozy of a song. The actual steps in Max300 are pretty simple, nothing but a series of eighth note runs, but the speed is a whole different issue. 300bpm is freakin' FAST! No other song in this mix tops 200bpm, so Max300 is fully half again as fast as anything else. If the song were Max250, it would be pretty easy, but speed kills on this one. Even though some of the newer 10s are (significantly) more difficult, this will always remain a classic. Dedicated practice is the only way to beat this one.
The next page is pretty similar, only about DDRMax2.

Sentenced to life imprisonment when he was just 19, Will is locked away in the city's Central Psychiatric Hospital.
Freshman Alison Smith moved to the Big Smoke to enroll in St. John's and soon fell hard for Will Hurley. Her world bloomed...and then imploded when Liz, her best friend, became the latest victim of the Canal Killer - and the Canal Killer turned out to be the boy who'd been sleeping in her bed. Alison fled to the Netherlands and, in 10 years, has never once looked back.
When a young woman's body is found in the Grand Canal, Garda detectives visit Will to see if he can assist them in solving what looks like a copycat killing. Instead, Will tells them he has something new to confess - but there's only one person he's prepared to confess it to.The last thing Alison wants is to be pulled back into the past she's worked so hard to leave behind. Reluctantly, she returns to the city she hasn't set foot in for more than a decade to face the man who murdered the woman she was supposed to become.
Only to discover that, until now, Will has left out the worst part of all.

Mystery Suspense
The Nature of Fragile Things
What listeners say about The Liar's Girl
Carnal Flower
A New Discovery!
CRH has been on my TBR list for a long time, but I've encountered so many BAD, over-praised crime novels lately I just kept saying Oh not now. Then out of boredom I tried it and I'm so glad I did! Loved this book.
It was a total pageturner. The mystery was fantastic and compelling. The tension is wound tighter and tighter--even though it is a very bare bones, simple story. A girl investigates a crime, and that's it. The simplicity is what I loved about it. There is nothing extraneous, no unnecessary padding, no red herrings, I am so sick of crime stories that feel they have to go all over the place and pad everything with endless descriptions and tangents. This was to the point and the tension never let up. At the same time, it is a psychological thriller in a way. The main protagonist gets more and more interesting and sympathetic and is as much a part of the tension as the plot. Again, simplicity. Just one girl, but by the end we get to care a lot about her and know her very well.
I finished it in less than 24 hours. Could not stop listening. Had to find out what happened.
The writing is very nice. Not out of the park excellent, but very good. There's a bit too much of meaningless, unnecessary fillers like "I frowned." "I shook my head." Get rid of that stuff. Not necessary. It needed a bit pf pruning, that's all, otherwise great.
The performance is fine, except the recording is absolute shite. Even with the sound cranked up to the max it was still hard to hear.
Looking forward to reading ALL her stuff now!
Sidonie
Good story. Won an Edgar Award spoiler alert
I think this book was very well written. I just did not feel sympathy for Alison. I liked will and everyone knows a jellyfish like Liz. I just didn't care for poor little Alison. I get emotionally triggered by false confessions. I find tactics used to deceive and fatigue suspects to get confessions very disturbing. It is torture to listen to them. The mystery was well done and the freak circumstances coming together made for a very good plot.
Mich1827
Very good story
I was very quickly engaged and listened in one marathon. Cleaned house and got things done while listening. Excellent story telling
C. Caillier
listened twice!
i loved the twists and turns, and the characters come to life. It kept me guessing!
Catherine M.
I love the writer's attention to detail
Fascinating characters. Vivid settings that you can actually imagine being part of. Most of all thought-provoking and detailed storyline. Definitely twists in the plot I was not expecting.
Gave up
Possibly the worst female narration I have ever listened to. I only made a few chapters and then gave up. It was so annoying I couldn't concentrate on the story.
6catz
I'm a sucker for mysteries set in the UK, and Ireland in particular grabs my interest. I blame Adrian McKinty, my favorite author. Howard reeled me in pretty well from the start and kept me hooked throughout. Looking forward to more from this author.
Great Book!
Though the format of this book took a few chapters to get used to (switching from past to present each chapter), once I got the flow, this book really took me in. The story was great and the voice actors were extremely easy to listen to! Highly recommended!!
Kristian Pulz
Interesting mystery
I surprised myself by figuring out a large part of the plot early on, but I still really enjoyed the story. The readers did a good job, but the editing could have been better, she kept cutting out at the beginning of most chapters. Worth the listen.
don't waist your time
i tried and tried and tried again...
i love mysteries,but with this book
i couldn't even get to the end...
don't care anymore who the serial killer is..


Odours can mean different things in different types of systems. Check below for your system type and odour description.
When brominated systems are not properly balanced, it can increase the odour. When pH is too low and total bromine residual too high, the gassing off process is more active and the odour may be very strong. The fact that many brominated systems are indoor may make this seem worse. To make sure you are getting accurate test readings for pH in the wet lab, use up to 5 drops of chlorine neutraliser in the pH sample. Bromine can discolour the pH indicator reagent and make the pH reading look higher than it actually is.
The most common odour for chlorinated systems is a strong chlorine-like odour. This is usually an indication that there is combined chlorine (chloramines) present, and not that the chlorine residual is too high. Check the total and free chlorine residuals and shock with 1 bag of Lite per 50,000 litres or 1 bag of Burn Out Extreme per 50,000 litres or 150 grams of Burn Out 35 per 10,000 litres for each ppm of combined chlorine.


Charming one story home with large palladium windows, in a wonderful pocket. Open living area with fireplace and high ceilings; Eat-in kitchen with island and lots of storage, split bedrooms and master suite has separate vanities, and separate shower, walk in closets and so much more just waiting for your special touches.

Norman S. Zalkind
65-A Atlantic Avenue Boston, Massachusetts 02110
Firm: Zalkind Duncan & Bernstein LLP
Zalkind Duncan & Bernstein LLP
Norman Zalkind has tried over one hundred jury trials, including many high-profile cases. He has won a number of federal and state jury trials, including a recent first degree murder case where the jury acquitted his client of all charges.
His criminal cases involve a wide range of offenses, such as murder (including death penalty cases) drug crimes, terrorism, extortion, bank robbery, sex crimes, tax evasion, federal extradition, arson, telemarketing fraud, and Medicaid and securities fraud. On about seventy percent of 29 murder trials Mr. Zalkind's clients have either been totally acquitted or have received substantially reduced verdicts. In 2005, Mr. Zalkind and Mr. Duncan secured a judgment of acquittal for the CEO of a major company in a tax fraud case. He also represented the lead defendant in a federal drug case who received a 5 year sentence even though the relevant sentencing guideline was 22 years. On behalf of a client facing federal immigration fraud charges that would normally lead to incarceration, Mr. Zalkind successfully received probation for his client.
On the civil side, Mr. Zalkind has an equally broad range of experience. He has handled many personal injury cases, including airplane crash, construction and automobile torts. He has represented plaintiffs and defendants in discrimination, libel, divorce and business litigation cases, including securities litigation. He also has a long history of successfully representing students in academic discipline matters. In 2001, Mr. Zalkind and Ms. Bernstein won a 7.5 million dollar verdict in a discrimination case against the MBTA. In 2006, Norman Zalkind settled an 8 million dollar construction accident suit. Recently, after taking the case to arbitration, Mr. Zalkind won a favorable settlement for a client involved in a complicated commercial litigation case. Mr. Zalkind also has significant experience representing students accused of conduct violations — including sexual assault — at their universities.
Mr. Zalkind taught criminal trial practice at Northeastern University Law School from 1971 to 1987, and he has lectured at Harvard Law School, Boston University School of Law, and Yale Law School.
He is recognized by Boston Magazine as a "Super Lawyer," has maintained the highest possible rating from Martindale Hubbell for 25 years, and is listed in Best Lawyers in America for both white collar and non-white collar criminal defense, a recognition he has been awarded for 20 consecutive years. In 2013 the Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers presented Mr. Zalkind with its Balliro award in recognition of a lifetime dedication and commitment to the rights of the accused, and in 1995 Mr. Zalkind received an award from the Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers for extraordinary commitment to protecting the rights and liberty of those who stand criminally accused. In 1989, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers awarded him its Champion of Liberty Award for Integrity, Fortitude and Ethical Ideals. He is a frequent commentator on legal cases and issues for television and print media.
