Bridging the Interconnect Pitch Gap Calls for 3D Technologies
The 14th 3D ASIP Conference Addresses a Spectrum of 0pportunities, Part 1
TSMC's OIP 2017 Symposium Shows The Awesome Power of an Ecosystem
Fan-out Packaging Confirms its Success Story
IFTLE 417: Passing the Advanced Packaging Baton to TSMC's 3D-MiM
Phil Garrou	June 20, 2019	Blogs, Packaging IFTLE	0
As IFTLE has been predicting for many years, the baton is once again being passed. In the early days of advanced microelectronics, packaging breakthroughs were developed by integrated device manufacturers like IBM, DEC, NEC, Fujitsu, etc. In the early 2000s, this baton was passed to the OSATS like Amkor, ASE, SPIL, and STATSChipPAC.
As it became more obvious that advanced packaging was going wafer level, it made sense that we would once again see a baton pass to the major lead foundries like TSMC, Intel, and Samsung since they were in the best place to do wafer level packaging development. Since the key packaging conference in the world remains IEEE's ECTC, one only need to look at what companies are now presenting the key papers at this conference to confirm IFTLEs concept on the transfer of technical superiority.
3D MUST-in-MUST aka 3D-MiM
At the ECTC 20109 in Las Vegas, TSMC showed the world its next-generation packaging, suited to replace standard package-on-package (PoP). The new TSMC acronym, MiM, is quite a mouthful since 3D-MiM stands for 3D MUST-in-MUST, where MUST is short for Multi-stack.
3D-MiM technology utilizes a more simplified architecture that eliminates BGAs between standard PoP packages for system-level performance, power, and form-factor (PPA) purposes. IFTLE predicts that this naming will become very confusing since MiM is already used to describe metal-insulator-metal capacitors. Maybe it will eventually become known as MUST packaging.
Solving the 5G/AI Data Bottleneck?
TSMC notes that in the 5G/artificial intelligence (AI) era, massive data communication has become a bottleneck. Fast data processing requires power computing with low energy consumption. High-speed data communication requires high data bandwidth with low latency. TSMC notes that 3D-MiM fan-out (FO), for logic and memory, was developed for its compact structure, high-density interconnect, improved system performances, and competitive cost. Competitive cost is reportedly achieved by leveraging current infrastructures for yield and capacity.
The modularized memory unit integrates multiple vertically-stacked memory chips by integrated fan-out (InFO) wafer level system integration, with memory I/O pads at one side of the chip. The first 3D-MiM package shown by TSMC (Figure 1) was based on InFO technology. 16 memory chips are integrated into the first two fan-out tiers and a system-on-chip (SoC) is integrated into the third tier. This 3D-MiM package is designed as an alternative solution to the current flip-chip (FC) PoP and FO PoP, currently used in mobile or computing devices but requiring a thinner profile, with high memory capacity and memory bandwidth.
Figure 1: The first version of 3D-MiM based on InFO technology. (Courtesy of TSMC)
3D-MiM FO represents an alternative solution to a typical mobile PoP, with a thinner profile and shorter wiring between the SoC and the memories. In comparison to the wire-bond memory package, the FO stacked memory module, without BGA connectors and substrate, offers thinner profile and shorter wiring length to reduce the undesired electrical parasitics for power consumption, power/signal integrity, and memory latency.
A larger 3D-MiM FO package was created by integrating 32 memory chips in the first-tier FO, and then integrating eight SoCs in the second-tier FO as shown in Figure 2. This 3D-MiM FO is designed as a low-cost alternative to the current 2.5DIC, for use in 5G/AI-driven high-performance computing (HPC) and server applications requiring high computing performance, memory bandwidth, and low power consumption and latency in applications such as machine learning, and AI training.
Figure 2: A larger 3D-MiM FO package was created by integrating 32 memory chips in the first-tier FO, and then integrating eight SoCs in the second-tier FO
There are no wafer bumps or FC bonding during the 3D-MiM FO integration process to reduce the assembly complexity and avoid the chip-package-interaction (CPI) reliability challenges in FC assembly. Secondly, a much thinner package profile is achieved for the improved form factor, thermal, and electrical performances. Thirdly the tools, materials, and capacity are shared for both mobile and HPC applications to streamline the design rules and shorten product development cycle time for high yield and cost-effectiveness.
Figure 3 compares the new MiM technology to a 2.5D silicon solution. Unlike a 3D IC high bandwidth memory (HBM) cube, the InFO memory module allows the direct and parallel communication of each memory chip to the computing logic, which helps to improve the memory data bandwidth between SoC and memory. In addition, in 3D-MiM FO, no SERDES controller IC is required, which reduces cost and design/integration complexity. It is observed that, with side-by-side layout, the communication wiring length between SoC and HBM cube of 2.5D IC is longer than that of 3D-MIM fan-out. Aside from that, the footprint and a profile height of 2.5D IC are also greater than those of 3D-MiM fanout.

Q: Restrict panning in a map using CartoDB I want to restrict the ability for someone to pan away from the extent the map has when it's loaded.
I have a map of New Zealand to be viewed at a national and regional level but worried people will get lost if they pan out to sea as it is the only geography loaded.
Ideally someone can pan around regions but not too far from New Zealand.

A: Unless there is some direct way to do this through CartoDB options, it depends on what javascript library you're using on the front end to display the CartoDB tiles (gmaps, leaflet, openlayers, etc.).
For example, with google maps, you can set draggable to false in MapOptions. This will prevent panning by dragging

Draggable (boolean)
  If false, prevents the map from being dragged. Dragging is enabled by default.
  https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#MapOptions

In a similar way, this example shows how to disable zooming and panning with a Leaflet map, by removing the ZoomControl and also disabling map dragging, zooming. This is a mapbox.js example, but something similar should work with leaflet (I haven't tested this however):
var map = L.mapbox.map('map', 'examples.map-20v6611k', {zoomControl: false});

// disable drag and zoom handlers
map.dragging.disable();
map.touchZoom.disable();
map.doubleClickZoom.disable();
map.scrollWheelZoom.disable();
// disable tap handler, if present.
if (map.tap) map.tap.disable();

Finally, this post from 2012 shows how to disable map controls in OpenLayers by passing an empty controls array when declaring a new map:
var map = new OpenLayers.Map('map', { controls: [] });

My 4/20 Drug Of Choice... Eight Cups Of Coffee.
My acupuncturist, Liem, would be so thrilled to know that I am making absolutely no effort to curtail my functioning mostly on adrenaline.
Today, as most Mondays are, is extremely busy. I will have put in a solid 10 hours (possibly more) before I wrap up my work for the day. And then I'll start to think about how I should get ahead start on tomorrow so that I am not skipping yoga to just "knock a few things more out".
So it will probably turn into 11 hours.
This is my sixth cup of coffee today. And there is still more in the pot downstairs in my kitchen. And I'm pretty sure I'll drink it.
Wasn't this lifestyle out here supposed to be about having a strict separation of work and life? Things were supposed to be more in balance?
I seem to have greatly failed at that. And it's totally and completely my fault.
I'll have to change that. But first... I'm gonna finish this coffee.

Home-brewed Bentong Ginger Beer – Whip It UP!
Home-brewed ginger beer packs in more punch than store-bought ones. Lower in sugar, this effervescent drink made with Bentong ginger and turmeric has mild, woody undertones with pronounced spicy and sweet aromas. A potent brew for chasing away indigestion and tummy aches.
Fresh turmeric contains curcumin, a strong anti-oxidant.
Fresh lime or lemon gives the ginger beer a refreshing citrusy lift.
1. For the ginger bug (a naturally fermented soda starter), combine A ingredients in a jar and shake. Keep adding A to feed the ginger bug for 5 consecutive days. Let it stand at room temperature to ferment.
Ginger Bug (starter) tainted yellow with fresh turmeric.
2. For ginger water, combine grated rhizome and sugar in a large saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Set it aside to cool, about 3 hours.
Freshly grated ginger enhances the beer's potency.
3. Once the ginger solution has cooled down, use a muslin cloth to strain mixture into a large mixing bowl. Discard grated ginger.
Raw cane sugar primes the brew for carbonation.
4. Pour in lime juice and add zest if desired. A squeeze of refreshing citrusy acid balances flavour and tones down the alcoholic kick.
5. Tip in entire contents of ginger bug. Stir vigorously with a whisk to blend ingredients.
Transfer cooled down brew into sterilised glass bottles, filling it about ¾ full only. Liquid should stop at least 12-15 cm below bottle neck (see explanation in step 7). Cap bottles tightly.
6. Allow brew to stand in a dark and warm kitchen cabinet for 3 days. Fermentation process begins. As it ferments, natural carbonation causes gas to build up and expand within the bottle. It is critical to release the gas through a process called popping, otherwise, bottles will crack, eventually causing them to explode from the pressure build-up.
7. To pop (releasing carbonation that causes fizziness), loosen cap with a thumb to gently release some gas. Using the other thumb, hold cap firmly in place as beer fizzes and hisses while gas escapes. It will become frothy with thousands of bubbles pushing upwards the bottle neck. It may spill, so always pop beer inside the kitchen basin. Exercise caution – beer may shoot up to the ceiling if there is too much carbonation in bottle. Make sure to release carbonation build-up every day.
NOTE: Ginger beer can be refrigerated. However, refrigeration slows down fermentation – pop every 4 days.
TIP: Bentong ginger produces a spicier brew with a bite. Cultivated in Malaysia, Bentong ginger thrives in the cooler climes of Bukit Tinggi's hilly terrain in Pahang. Highly sought after because it is hardier and devoid of fibrous pulp making it much easier to digest. Although it has a thinner skin, the Bentong species has a longer shelf life compared with its larger, chunkier and less gingery Thai counterpart.
Above: Bentong-variety ginger grown in Thailand, Below: Thai ginger.
TECHNIQUE: *Ginger bug is likened to a starter in sourdough bread-making. Freshly grated rhizome is fermented in a water-sugar solution wherein natural enzymes and probiotics are released. Sugar feeds good bacteria that are essential in fermentation. The more ginger bug is added, the faster it transforms into ginger beer. The brew will carbonate (carbon dioxide being released) throughout the fermentation process. So, don't fill bottles with beer all the way to the top. The gap between the liquid and bottle rim is to allow space for gas build-up.

One who said: "I vow my weight," he must pay his weight, in silver [if he had said in] silver, or in gold [if he had said in] gold. It happened with the mother of Yirmatia, who said, "I vow my daughter's weight." She went up to Jerusalem and weighed her and then paid her weight in gold. [If a man said: "I vow] the weight of my hand," Rabbi Judah says: let him fill a barrel with water and put it [his hand] in up to the elbow. Then let him weigh the flesh, bones and sinews of a donkey and put it into the barrel until it is filled up again. Rabbi Yose said: "But how is it possible to account exactly one kind of flesh against another kind of flesh, and one kind of bones against another kind of bones? Rather: one estimates what the hand is likely to weigh.
[If one said] "The worth of my hand is upon me," they estimate his worth with his hand and [what it would be] without his hand. In this respect vows of worth are more stringent than vows of value. There is an aspect of vows of value that is more stringent than vows of worth. How so? If one said: "My value is upon me" and then he dies, his heirs must pay it. [But if he said:] "My worth is upon me," and then he dies, his heirs need not pay anything because dead persons have no worth. [If he said,] "The value of my hand or foot is upon me," he has said nothing, [But if he said,] "The value of my head is upon me," he must pay his whole value. This is the general rule: Anything upon which his life depends, he must pay his full value.
[If one said:] "Half my value is upon me," he must pay half his evaluation. [But if he said,] "The value of one half of me he is upon me," he must pay his full value. [If he said] "Half of my worth is upon me," he must pay half his worth. [If he said,] "The worth of half of me is upon me," he must pay his whole worth. This is the general rule: Anything on which his life depends, he must pay his whole worth.
If he said: "The value of so-and-so is upon me," if both the vower and the subject of the vow died, then the heirs must pay it. [If he said,] "The worth of so-and-so is upon me," and the vower died, the heirs must pay it. But if the subject of the vow died, the heirs need not pay anything because dead persons have no worth.
[If someone said:] "This ox shall be an olah [a whole burnt offering]," or "This house shall be an olah," and the ox died or the house fell down, he is not obligated to pay. [But if he said:] "This ox is upon me as an olah" or "this house is upon me as an olah" and the ox died, or the house fell down, he is obligated to pay [their worth].
With regard to those who made a vow of value: they take a pledge from them. With regard to those obligated to bring a hatat or asham: they do not take a pledge. With regard to those obligated to bring an olah or a shelamim: they do take a pledge. And even though he is not atoned for unless he is willing [to pay his obligation], as it is said: "willingly" (Leviticus 1:3), they coerce him until he says: I agree. The same is true in the case of divorce documents: they coerce him until he says: I agree.


The prix fixe menu at Margarita at Pine Creek always tempts upstairs, but we retire to the downstairs lounge, where I'm reminded of my consummate love for this place. A phenomenal bowl of Gulf shrimp with Creole andouille sausage gravy and white cheddar low country grits ($13) sings with spices, including poppin' mustard seeds, with andouille smokiness and a rich velvety sauce. Wild mushroom and stout-braised oxtail poutine ($11) bears a soulful stew meat and gooey cheddar cheese chunks over soft onion-potato croquettes to twist the classic. Horseradish adds bite for comfort-food bliss. Butterscotch pot de crème ($7) tastes like a heavenly Werther's pudding, elegant with crème fraiche. A boozy vodka rhubarb martini ($10.50) lands lemony and faintly gingery, pleasant. The Blueberry-ginger-mint shrub Collins ($8.50) starts expectedly tart, but it's balanced and refreshing, again with lemon and ginger notes, this time under clean blueberry notes and herbal rounding.


This is a project that I am posting personally, not by any outside request.
As you may know (and if you don't, I recommend this thread) the anime industry is a harsh place for animators, with salaries often well-below the poverty line and awful working conditions. People still choose to work in the industry out of their love and passion for the craft, but it's no easy life (particularly given that most anime studios are based in Tokyo, where the cost of living is extremely high).
The page outlines the history of the project over recent years and their latest goals. I think it's at least worth it for everyone to give it a read and become more informed about the working conditions in the industry we love.


Urooj Khan, 46, won $1 million off a scratch lottery ticket he bought at a 7-11 in Chicago last June, but just one day after receiving his check, he died. Now, his death has been ruled a homicide, as toxicology reports showed deadly cyanide in his system. NBC's Andrea Canning reports.
The wheel of fortune spun fast for Urooj Khan.
The Indian immigrant and Chicago-area dry cleaning store owner struck it big with a $1 million lottery win in June. He died a month later, succumbing to cyanide poisoning in what police are now investigating as a homicide.
The death was a dark end to the family man's otherwise hopeful tale.
Khan came to Chicago in the 1980s and found work in a local dry cleaning business. After years of working for others, he opened Style Dry Cleaners in the Rogers Park area of Chicago in 2004. Over time, Khan became proprietor of three dry cleaning stores of his own, according to the Chicago Tribune.
He also owned five condominiums, which he rented out, the paper reported.
Khan stood to bank $424,449.60 from the win after taxes on his lump sum payout of over $600,000. He would give some of the money to St. Jude Children's Research hospital, he said, and invest another share in his dry cleaning business. The lucky entrepreneur gripped an oversized check at the summer lottery ceremony where he was joined by his wife, Shabana Ansari, 32, and their daughter Jasmeen, along with several friends.
"Winning the lottery means everything to me," Khan gushed in June.
But he never got to enjoy the windfall, dying suddenly on July 20, just one day after the check with his winnings was issued by the Illinois Comptroller's Office.
Cook County Medical Examiner Stephen Cina performed a limited exam on the 46-year-old and found no signs of trauma. Cina's office concluded that he had died of natural causes. Six months later, in a sudden turn of events, officials said on Monday that they were looking into Khan's case again after further toxicology reports determined that his system held lethal amounts of cyanide.
Those tests were run at the urging of an unnamed family member.
Khan's wife described him as a "kind and good-hearted person" to NBCChicago.com. Khan ate dinner at home with his family on the night he died, the Tribune reported, citing an internal police document. He went to bed. After he awoke screaming in the night, he was taken to St. Francis Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Khan's purchase of the winning ticket came in a moment of weakness, convenience store clerk Ashur Oshana told The Associated Press. The doomed man had sworn off gambling in 2010 after going on the hajj, the pilgrimage all faithful Muslims are obligated to make once in their lives. He yielded to temptation one last time, and laid down $60 for a pair of scratch-offs.
Jimmy Goreel owns the convenience store where Khan bought his winning ticket. He said Khan had been kind to him after an earlier, smaller win.
Khan was buried at Chicago's Rosehill Cemetery. Cina said exhuming his body may be the next step in investigating the death.


Lucinda Russell believes one of her "great hopes" can be fulfilled on Saturday as Big River goes in search of Scottish Grand National glory.
Scotland's leading jumps trainer won the Grand National in 2017 with One for Arthur.
However, in over 20 years in the business, Russell has never taken first prize at the Ayr showpiece.
"In Big River I think we have a horse that can do it," Milnathort-based Russell said of the nine-year-old.
"It has always been one of my great hopes to win the Scottish National. It takes a different type of horse to win the Scottish Grand National.
Big River finished fourth in last month's Ultima Handicap Chase at Cheltenham, a race won by Beware The Bear, who is Saturday's top weight and early favourite.
Vintage Clouds, a first-fence faller at Aintree last week and third at Ayr last year, is also among the fancied runners in a 28-strong field.
Dingo Dollar and Crosshue Boy are others at the top of the betting for the four-mile race, while Sandy Thomson's Geronimo, ridden by Rachel McDonald, is the only other Scottish trained horse in action.
Merigo, winner in 2010 and 2012, was the last home-trained success in the race.

Q: i want the largest number from array in php $select=$conn->query("SELECT `id` FROM `order` where `customer`='$id'");
while ($result=$select->fetch_assoc()) {
    echo $result['id'];
}

I got the two values.
How to print the large number ?
php max function is not working for me

A: faster to do it in the query:
SELECT id FROM order where customer='$id' order by id desc Limit 1

A: you can also take the max of id using sql as
SELECT max(id) FROM order where customer='$id'

A: You can directly do in query check below query for the same.
$select=$conn->query("SELECT id FROM order where customer='$id' order by id desc limit 1");

A: In your way
$select=$conn->query("SELECT `id` FROM `order` where `customer`='$id'");
$maxVal = 0;
while ($result=$select->fetch_assoc()) {
    if($maxVal<$result['id']){
        $maxVal=$result['id'];
    }
}
echo $maxVal;

But better is
$select=$conn->query("SELECT max(id) FROM order where customer='$id'");
$result=$select->fetch_assoc();
echo $result['id'];

Or if your id is  auto-increment then you can use
$select=$conn->query("SELECT id FROM order where customer='$id' order by id desc Limit 1");
$result=$select->fetch_assoc();
echo $result['id'];

Stand down - Justin Timberlake is NOT in Cork and he never was
Everybody be cool. Take a breath. Unpack your bags and change your iPod playlist from Justified on repeat to whatever else you like. Justin Timberlake is NOT - we repeat, NOT - in Cork.
Late last night, Irish Examiner journalist Eoin English tweeted this and pretty much sent most of Irish Twitter into a tailspin. It was hysteria - road-trips were organised, long-dormant fans came out of the woodwork, entertainment websites geared up TimberlakeWatch2014. It was going to be a busy week for us.
Pretty soon, radio stations in the Rebel County were reporting sightings of JT in various parts of the city and parts beyond. It looked like the South was about to rise again. What with Kimye having a little mini-honeymoon or something in Cork just a few short weeks ago, Cork looked like it was set to become the next St. Tropez.
Then, just like that, our hopes and dreams of getting Justin Timberlake to sign our copy of Futuresex/LoveSounds were over. The same journalist posted this, effectively ruining our weekend.
So, after extensive research, I can confirm that the sighting of Justin Timberlake in a #Cork hotel earlier was a case of mistaken identity
— Eoin English (@EoinBearla) June 20, 2014
Well, them's the breaks, isn't it? If you're still on a Justin Timberlake buzz, you can head down to Cork and try find that dude. Or not. Whatever, we're not your boss or anything.

Terence Michael Blake (19 October 1921 – 6 March 1998) was an early British trampoline pioneer.

Following the development of modern trampolines in the USA by George Nissen, Ted Blake was a major contributor to their nascence in the United Kingdom and in developing International Competition for trampolining.

In his early years Blake went to the Latymer School in London and on leaving there held a variety of jobs before joining the army in 1939.  During war years he trained as a Physical Training Instructor, transferring from the Essex Regiment to the Army Physical Training Corps in 1941 and rose to the rank of Company Sergeant Major Instructor (CSMI) by the time of his discharge in 1946.  For most of his army life Blake was based at the Essex Regiment's depot at Brentwood.

Having left the army, Blake spent the next 3 years attending courses to become a teacher.  Starting out at the Loxford School in Ilford, Essex in 1949 he soon introduced a single second-hand Nissen trampoline. Whilst at the Loxford School, Blake developed a trampoline squad of sufficient skill that they were invited to do a demonstration at the Festival of Britain in 1951. Blake remained at Loxford School until 1956 when he left to establish the UK operation of Nissen.

Blake subsequently became managing director for the Nissen UK business based at their factory in Hutton Industrial Estate, Brentwood, Essex. Together with Kurt Baechler of Switzerland, Blake was credited with the introduction of trampolining to Europe.

Being passionate about trampolining he was not only involved in their commercial development but heavily involved in developing the competitive trampolining framework we see today.

It is likely that Blake was heavily involved in the UK National Championships which are credited, in 1958, with being the first televised national championships.

In 1964 Blake organised the first World Championships (financed by George Nissen) which were held in the Royal Albert Hall, London. That same year, following these first World Championships, he attended an inaugural meeting of prominent trampolinists in Frankfurt to discuss the formation of an International Trampoline Federation. This was launched as the (FIT) in Twickenham in 1965 and Blake became its first vice-president, a position he held until 1967. So influential was Blake at the time that three of the first four World Championships were organised by him and held in London - at this time they took place every year.

Having delivered at the Senior level, Blake continued to be heavily involved in promoting competition, and in 1973 working with Bob Bollinger and George Nissen created the World Age Group Competition, which now runs alongside the World Championships every two years.

Blake appeared, however, to not always be comfortable with authority and in 1972 was scathing about the FIT he had originally developed, questioning why it was so bureaucratic and gymnastics oriented in an international publication of that time.

One of few Britons so honoured, in 1976 he was recognised by the United States Trampoline & Tumbling Association for his major influence on developing modern trampolining by being added to their Hall of Fame.

Blake left Nissen in mid-1980 having spent many years staving off the pressure from Nissen's then-owners to cease manufacturing trampolines because of fears of litigation.  They had previously ceased manufacture in USA many years before for this very reason.  Blake continued to give talks and lectures, however and soon became a leading light in the UK Leisure Management Industry.

The Official Shelley Buckner Website
Avatars and Journal Icons
A native Texan, Shelley Buckner was born June 7, 1989 in Dallas. The daughter of Realtor Twinkle Underwood and businessman Woody Buckner, Shelley has possessed a love of performing from a very young age. An accomplished figure skater, Shelley's interests began to move to acting. Although she attended one of the most elite all girls prep schools in the country, Shelley truly believed that she was destined for the silver screen.
She began modeling, acting in plays and commercials locally. She was even named Miss Dallas Pre teen. Next, she entered the IMTA talent competition where she was discovered by her now manager, Susan Curtis. Susan knew that Shelley must be in Los Angeles.
Her first pilot season in LA, at the tender age of 12 years old, Shelley landed the Fox show "The Untitled Ricky Blitt Pilot." Unfortunately, the pilot was not picked up. However, she had then truly caught the bug. Shelley continued acting splitting her time between school in Dallas and Los Angeles. She landed a guest star role on CBS's Still Standing and continued with her commercial and modeling work.
This year, at 15 Shelley has begun to hit her stride. She has landed a recurring role as Amber Star on the WB's new hit drama Summerland and guest star on FOX's Meth and Red. Not only beautiful and intelligent, Shelley has the kind of drive and determination rarely seen in actors her age.

Wolfenstein: The New Order continues as the ninth installment in the game series and a direct sequel to 2009's Wolfenstein.
This single-player, first person shooter experience features an unlimited weapon inventory amid an alternate world set in 1960 where the Nazis won World War II as a familiar U.S. OSA (Office of Secret Action) agent tries to stop the antagonists amid seven overall missions and several story chapters.
Wolfenstein: The New Order gives players another quality first-person shooter experience with touches of sci-fi, horror, and stealth along with a Doom BETA invitation (PS4, PC and Xbox One). Developed by MachineGames and published by Bethesda Softworks, this latest Wolfenstein installment uses proprietary game engine id Tech 5 (players won't see the Id label).
Veteran player nostalgia from the classic Wolfenstein games stays intact thanks to a strong story and new/enhanced action mechanics.
Good characters are varied and well-developed in the story that forges a Nazi-controlled alternate history, so the choice for one player only experience here (no multiplayer component) works well. Players uncover some creative scenarios that add unpredictable paths and demand extra attention. Developers inject more humor than previously seen in this game series, but make no mistake, this harrowing story can equal the same emotional devastation as the weapons do.
Protagonist and Army Ranger William "B.J." Blazkowicz, voiced by Brian Bloom (Batman: Arkham Origins, Marvel Heroes) first takes on the Nazis in World War II in 1946 as the story then moves to 1960 where the antagonist General Wilhelm Strasse (a.k.a. Deathshead), voiced by Kaspar Eichel, gets the advantage over the Allies with special technological advances. Blazkowicz wrestles with the remaining world then seeks other resistance seeking parties. As Blazkowicz discovers vat zee nastee Germans are up to, the violence is graphic, but develops his character and others.
Blazkowicz's facial features have modernized, but have not changed much from the 1992 original Wolfenstein game. Developers accelerate his character development by using his audible inner dialogue, which has a substantial impact without creating a negative element amid this survival-focused storyline where every encounter adds real emotion and tension.
On the action side, players always have something to destroy or shoot at. Enemy forces include a mixture of humans, super humans, paranormal creatures, robots, dogs, and robotic dogs (a.k.a Panzerhunds) as well as partially destructible environments amid tight areas and epic, wide open spaces.
Developers wisely added stealth, strategy and a dual-timeline/character storyline options for some variety. The dual choice enhances the replay value, but is pretty minimal on the character action since it only distinguishes between a lock picking and an electronic hotwiring specialty action.
The actions are well paced without paralyzing the gameplay. The M rating is definitely warranted here, but does not negatively affect the overall experience. For example, the paranormal and occult elements add some unpredictability into the storylines.
The standard first-person shooter view is great with decent interfaces and fluid movements. Avoiding objects when in a hurry or under duress can become a bit challenging, so it's important to master the system. Quick slides, jumps, and leans represent the basic actions while players get additional help from special interactions like grabbing choice weapons from their stationery turrets.
Effective mechanics make players feel intelligent and can empower some high quality gameplay. Developers achieve a nice balance here by challenging players without frustration or overwhelming tasks. The optional tutorials/help screens help avoid unnecessary trial and error though player decisions factor into the challenge level as well.
Beyond the obvious difficulty level choice, players must carefully consider their health pack frequency. Overcharge health packs put players over 100%, but eventually dwindle down, so some short-term strategy includes knowing where the enemy waves are and checking the location maps.
Stealth challenges are also considerable, but are relatively easy thanks to a simple mechanics. The stealth gameplay combines with locating skills where players can target high-ranking enemy officers and certain characters that would alert reinforcements with alarms. Visuals display the distance to them in the upper left screen (often multiple distances depending on current locations), but not their exact location. Once at the location, players can press the displayed button for a hand-to-hand takedown or try a well thrown knife or suppressed pistol shot.
The weapon cache system lets players carry all their guns at the same time (a nice "old school perk") and includes assault rifles, grenades, and shotguns. Weapons have secondary fire to pack an extra punch, such as shrapnel rounds for shotguns.
Most weapons also work in both hands, which is where the personalized perk system comes into play. Instead of leveling up skills, players progress through a specific order that rewards with additional stealth and combat abilities. This system can feel like a forced tutorial at times, but adds some nice challenges as developers concentrate on appropriate goals. This system underwhelms by not rewarding players with significant perks – only slight improvements in ammunition capacities, etc.
Weapon upgrades are helpful, especially the special shotgun shells that can ricochet. The Laserkraftwerk laser cutter seems like a great dual option as a tool and weapon, but, like picking up items, are not an automatic action and become cumbersome especially when you have to spend extra time with specific movements. Players strategize more about grabbing items and optimize their laser cutting skills (usually to physical progress through environments or find hidden items), but it's an inconvenient choice that only adds extra time to the gameplay.
A nice combat balance except for the boss fights. Boss challenges (usually against robots or other freakish creations) are a bit odd because the damage players cannot always see if they are causing damage. Players basically have to go all out and aim at target areas intuitive to them, which draws from other FPS game knowledge. Better aiming mechanics would be nice here, but effective weapons like the tesla grenades that stun, get the job done.
Intel is always plentiful, so grab any selectable papers for helpful hints. Players can always pause the game for hints, summaries, and other helpful information as well as weapon setups and other important logistics. Unlockables boost the replay value and provide helpful items in battle. Rewarding alternate route reveals add some problem solving challenges.
The visual design usually impresses on multiple levels except for a particular interior sequence in a train where Blazkowicz encounters two Nazi characters playing cards have a slightly an odd appearance, particularly their skin and hair.
The lighting, shadows, close-ups, dizzying camera angles and cutscenes create high quality environments that drives players into the emotional story lines, which also include some surprise locations. Some locations seems oddly vacant and empty, which distracts a bit from gameplay because players would assume these locations would be bustling with activity from various people, vehicles, and objects.
This FPS gem matches perfectly with the hard-driving musical score composed by Mick Gordon and Meshuggah lead guitarist Fredrik Thordendal. This collaboration reportedly produced over six hours of music, which eventually lead to the soundtrack that has an overall time of 51 minutes and 45 seconds.
Wolfenstein The New Order boosts the first person genre it helped found while walking the fine line between old school nostalgia and meaningful improvement/enhancements for the players. Be sure to check out the end of the credit sequence.
Wolfenstein: The New Order is recommended (*** out of four stars) and also available on PC, PS3, Xbox 360 (four discs), and Xbox One for $59.99. NOTE: The Doom beta is only for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The prequel Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is also available.

Well, it wasn't exactly what I expected . . .

As soon as I walked in, I was charged by a triceratops.

Fortunately, I sought safety among a family of Neanderthals.

To thank them for their help, I entertained them with my balloon-folding skills.

But then I was chased away by a herd of buffalo.

Suddenly, there was a loud _boom_!

So I ran out of there as fast as I could, but I accidentally broke something along the way.

I tried my best to put it back together.

Then, I was briefly detained by a lively sculpture.

Thankfully, I was rescued by another one.

After all that action, I decided to catch my breath.

Then I got lost in an unusual stairwell . . .

that led to a secret passage!

It was a real mess down there.

So I just had to put things in order.

I really cleaned all over!

And I took care of a few other things, too . . .

I happened to notice that some paintings weren't finished.

I really applied myself.

By then, it was getting late, and I needed to find our class.

I had no problem spotting them . . .

But joining them wasn't as easy . . .

Luckily, I discovered a way to reach them really quickly.

But I probably misunderstood the instructions . . .

and I landed in totally unexplored territory.

Suddenly, I felt far away from everyone.

But that didn't last long.

And THAT is what happened at the museum.

Who, me? Oh, no . . .
I really don't think so.

Meanwhile . . .

Seniors finish Castleton career with two wins
November 15, 2017 1:27 pm by Tim Brosnan Views: 50
At the eight-week mark, the Spartans were sitting at .500 record of 4-4 and were faced with the possibility of a potentially mediocre season. But after an exciting 28-17 home field defeat of the Gallaudet Bisons and a 49-21 blowout of the Alfred State pioneers, the Spartans saved their season and finished third overall in the ECFC. Castleton finished with a conference record of 5-2 and an overall record of 6-4, effectively rebounding from a disappointing 4-6 2016 campaign.
"It was awesome to kind of surge at the end of the year and bounce back from last season. I think it showed how committed the entire team was to proving what we were capable of as a team," said senior safety Luke Mullin.
This marks the third time in the past four seasons the program has finished with a winning record. But this final victory by Castleton was significant for more reasons than one. For 13 seniors, this was a sweet one to call their last game as a Spartan.
Linebackers Shane Hurley, Cam McHale, Troy Dane, Jakob Trautwein, Joel Antoine, safety Luke Mullin, fullback Chris Oettinger, defensive linemen Cody 'Bubba' Collins, Justin Nolan, Matt Lawhorn, offensive lineman Eric Decker, and tight end Nick Boles are all calling it a career after this week.
"This game has done so much for me. I couldn't ask for anything more than what this program has provided me with these past four years, that is why it feels so good to secure a winning record," Hurley said. In his last two games wearing green and white, Hurley came through with 10 tackles, three tackles for a loss, a sack, and a forced fumble.
"I've been here since the very beginning of the (Tony) Volpone era and there's no other coaching staff or teammates that I'd rather play for. I love this team, and I love this game," he said.
With 13 seniors at key positions not returning for the 2018 season, it is fair to wonder what is next for this Spartans football team. Star running back Moe Harris finished the season with 1,180 rushing yards and 16 rushing touchdowns, both Castleton single season records, and he still has one year of eligibility left. Sophomore wide receiver Jermaine Coggins racked up 11 catches, 202 yards, 3 tds in the Spartans last two games. Coggins is likely to step into a leader ship role going forward as well.
"I think we set a solid foundation, " said Mullin, "I feel confident leaving the team in the younger guys hands. I'm excited to see some of them take over as leaders and hopefully guide the program to a conference title in the future."
Senior linebacker Jakob Trautwein agreed with his teammate.
"They are a good group of guys," Trautwein said, "They're in good hands with our coaching staff. I'm really excited for the future of the program."
This past Saturday marked the second year in row that Trautwein, or as many call him, "Traut" led the team in tackles and logged over one hundred tackles in a season for Castleton. He finished the season with 113 tackles after setting a school record with 142 total tackles the previous season.
Clearly these seniors are convinced the team is headed in the right direction. But now that football is over, what is next for them?
"Now that the season is over, I'll have more time to focus on my grades," said Trautwein.
"I hope to find the time in the future to come back for a few practices to see how all my current teammates carry on the traditions of seniors past," added Mullin, "I'm graduating with a degree in business but I hope to stay in the realm of sports… Hopefully some day I'll even be able to open up my own facility"
As the seniors shift their focus, Volpone and the team look to build on this year and put together an even stronger 2018 campaign.

ADB Strengthens Partnership with WHO to Help Asia and the Pacific Combat COVID-19
News Release | 9 July 2020
MANILA, PHILIPPINES (9 July 2020) — The Asian Development Bank (ADB) today strengthened its partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO), recognizing that increased collaboration is helping to expand critical health care across Asia and the Pacific and contain the spread and impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
During a conference call with WHO Regional Directors Dr. Takeshi Kasai and Dr. Poonam Khetrapal Singh, ADB President Masatsugu Asakawa said the partnership based on a memorandum of understanding signed in 2018 had helped to address the region's health security risks and strengthen health systems, which have been stretched since the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I very much appreciate the close collaboration with the WHO regarding COVID-19. I found that the regular exchange of views and the latest information on the evolution of the pandemic provided by WHO have been invaluable to ADB's operations," said Mr. Asakawa. "ADB has incorporated inputs and advice from the WHO to ensure our support is fully responsive to the needs of our developing members. As countries implement these projects and ADB continues to expand technical and financing assistance, we look forward to continued collaboration to help guide our response to, and the region's recovery from, COVID-19."
ADB announced on 13 April a comprehensive support package of $20 billion to help developing members address the impacts of COVID-19. ADB and the WHO are finalizing an administrative arrangement (AA) to govern financial, reporting, and implementation mechanisms related to their joint response to COVID-19, as well as projects to support recovery from the crisis. The first AA between ADB and the WHO will cover South Asia before expanding to Central Asia, East Asia, the Pacific, and Southeast Asia.
ADB is also working with the WHO and the Japanese Ministry of Finance to convene a virtual Joint Finance and Health Ministers Meeting on COVID-19 and Universal Health Coverage in Asia and the Pacific during the second stage of ADB's Annual Meeting in September.
ADB is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while sustaining its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty. Established in 1966, it is owned by 68 members—49 from the region.

Who's Afraid of the Dog-Banditti?
For as long as dogs have been valued as companions, they have been a target for thieves. Their theft and ransom became a lucrative practice in the 18th century, with high-profile victims.
Stephanie Howard-Smith | Published 03 Jun 2021
The Dog and the Thief, by Wenceslas Hollar, 17th century.
In June 1660, just one month after his Restoration, Charles II's black spaniel-greyhound cross disappeared. After the offer of a reward provoked no response, the incensed monarch published an advert in the Mercurius Publicus appealing for the dog's return, claiming the animal:
doubtless was stoln, for the Dog was not born nor bred in England, and would never forsake His Master. Whosoever findes him may acquaint any at Whitehal, for the Dog was better known at Court, than those who stole him. Will they never leave robbing His Majesty? must He not keep a Dog?
In the 18th century, adverts for lost dogs became a mainstay of newspapers across the country. These notices typically offered a reward (the going rate was half a guinea) and listed the type, size, colour and identifying marks of the missing animal. They reveal the scale and diversity of Britain's dog population, which was fortunate enough to have owners with both the inclination and spare cash to attempt to recover their animals. Missing canines featured in lost dog adverts ranged from William Hogarth's pug, Pugg, to Viscount Hatton's greyhound-lurcher cross, the unfortunately named Slutt.
However, not all adverts included the names of the missing dogs or the identities and addresses of their owners, most likely because these animals were not necessarily runaways. Kate Smith at the University of Birmingham has studied lost property adverts in 18th-century newspapers and suggests many were placed by fences from the criminal underworld to enable owners to identify their stolen dogs and to arrange for payment of a ransom for their safe return, while allowing the thieves to avoid prosecution.
Bampfylde Moore Carew, by Richard Phelps, 1750.
Dog theft could be a lucrative practice in the 18th century. Dogs were not always offered back to owners for a ransom, but were sometimes sold on, especially if they were valuable sporting animals. The 1745 sensationalised criminal biography of Bampfylde Moore Carew, self-proclaimed 'King of Beggars', boasted that he had 'successfully followed the Trade of Dog-stealing' in 'making bold' with gentlemen's spaniels, pointers and hounds (his marks apparently included the Bishop of Salisbury's setter). These dogs were 'sold again to other Gentleman at a Distance therefrom; whereby he got abundance of Money, commonly selling a single Dog for several Guineas'. The biography claims that Carew had a gift – he could 'seduce' any dog away from their home whatever the nature of their temperament. In a portrait of Carew painted by Richard Phelps in 1750 he is accompanied by a pug, a high-status, fashionable lady's lapdog, as a testament to his skills during his dog-stealing years.
Even if stolen dogs went unclaimed or unsold, their thieves still stood to profit. A dog's body had an appreciable value dead as much as it did alive. There was a thriving market for dog-skin leather gloves, which were a must-have luxury item and reputed to moisturise the hands. Even the philosopher Jeremy Bentham, who argued against causing unnecessary suffering to animals, owned a pair.

Dog theft exposed both the dog's often considerable sentimental value to its family and its financial worth in the eyes of society. Occasionally the dispossessed dog owners of 18th-century London tried to take advantage of the disparity between the two, as in the advert placed in the Morning Chronicle of 11 July 1780 appealing for the return of Bravo, a 'remarkably large and fat dog' which emphasised that as the dog was 'old, and not broke, he can be of no use but to the owner'. However, thieves knew that strong attachments to individual dogs (regardless of their usefulness) left owners vulnerable to demands for the ransom of their companions.
Although theft had long been a risk for dog owners, 19th-century cities provided particularly fertile ground for thieves. Loving relationships between pet dogs and people were an increasingly accepted feature of middle-class domestic life and few would risk the thieves' habit of mailing an unclaimed dog's appendages – or, worse, its head – for the sake of a ransom payment. Such was the case for the poet Elizabeth Barrett (later Barrett Browning), who had to pay off the 'organised dog-banditti' of Victorian London's slums for the safe return of her spaniel, Flush, on three separate occasions. When the dog was stolen to order in 1843 she told her former tutor that 'money was the least thing to think of in such a case; I would have given a thousand pounds if I had had them in my hand'.
Worryingly for Barrett, the dog thieves claimed to have been casing Flush for two years and threatened to keep their attentions on the dog. In light of this warning, it was unsurprising that Flush was stolen again on 2 September 1846. It is this event (now the most famous dognapping of the 19th century), documented in her correspondence with her soon-to-be husband, the poet Robert Browning, which provides the dramatic climax to Flush, Virginia Woolf's 1933 fictionalised biography of the dog. Both Barrett's father and Browning disapproved of paying the thieves ransom money and her brother hampered negotiations when he tried to haggle the cost down. Barrett, however, was resolute. 'I cannot endure to run cruel hazards about my poor Flush for the sake of a few guineas, or even for the sake of abstract principles of justice', she wrote to Browning. She made the trip to Whitechapel herself to entreat with the gang leader of the 'Fancy' (the name was a dark joke on the gang's part, as this was the collective term for the dog-showing world). Six guineas and five days later, Flush was reunited with his mistress.

Barrett's correspondence highlights that the theft of a dog inflicts a double trauma on the dispossessed owner, whether in the 19th century or the 21st: they endure the loss of a companion, as well as the worry that the dog may be suffering in its new surroundings. Today's booming pandemic puppy market has generated fresh demand for stolen dogs. The law – which regards companion dogs as inanimate objects – still does not recognise the importance of pets to their human families.
For as long as people have valued individual dogs for their companionship, skills or attributes – and others have been willing to pay a substantial price for this themselves – dogs have attracted the attention of thieves. Elizabeth Barrett's experience with Flush demonstrates that loving owners place a high price on canine companionship, and are determined to be reunited with their beloved dogs, whatever the cost.

A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of the evergreen classic novel by Louisa May Alcott.
With their father away fighting in the American Civil War, the four March girls are facing a lean Christmas with their mother. But the sisters' close bond and determination to make the best of things enables them to find happiness despite their poverty.
As the years go by we follow their fortunes as they journey into womanhood. Meg the beauty, Jo the tomboy, shy Beth and precocious Amy will encounter adventure, hardship, joys and disappointments, and learn to meet the challenges of life as they become independent and make their way in the world. While marriage and motherhood may beckon for the sisters, their most enduring love is always for each other.
First published in 1868 and never out of print since, this iconic coming-of-age tale is a perennial favourite that has touched the hearts of generations of fans. This moving BBC Radio 4 dramatisation stars Natasha J Barnes, Julianna Jennings, Bryony Hannah and Samantha Dakin as Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy, with Tara Ward as Mrs March and Alex Lanipekun as Laurie.
I purchased this audio book for my children, so that they could all listen to the classic. They loved it! They said that the dramatic reading really made the story come alive for them.
I listened to it all in one sitting! it was better than watching a movie!!
Radio theatre presentation far outshines a simple audio book presentation. Instead of one voice, the book comes alive with laughter, tears, and cheerful yet flawed characters who who change as they grow into adulthood.
I was so disappointed in this book. Its really the first audio book that has let me down. I was interested in what I thought would be a dramatization of a reading of the original book, but instead was disappointed by a sorry distortion of the story that was so significantly changed as to be more of a summary of the book than a reading.
Excellent adaptation of the beloved classic. Some slight changes were made to the story, but all in all it didn't detract from my enjoyment of listening to a beautiful performance. I find BBC dramas to be very satisfying, whether they are television or radio performances, this was no exception.
I want a refund after this.
Most of the voice actors were truely terrible. Only the narrator was worth listening to.
I loved listening to this book, as it was such a brilliant story as well as a heartfelt book that will remain with me forever. All of the characters had lovely voices, and it is all acted out instead of read! Brilliant!
I just wish Radio 4 had made a bit more of it. What there is is very well done, proper voice acting not just reading a script.

Commentary OpinionTHE OTHER RUSH
Does White House want an Ebola epidemic in U.S.?
Exclusive: Erik Rush looks at curious case of 'diva' nurse Kaci Hickox
By Erik Rush
Since the death of Liberian Thomas Eric Duncan and the infection of two nurses who treated him in a Dallas hospital, the Obama administration has vociferously resisted calls from the public, lawmakers and medical professionals to implement travel restrictions to and from (more importantly from) West African nations in which Ebola is raging.
First, we were subjected to the incoherent entreaties from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director Dr. Thomas Frieden and the director of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who engaged in wholly unscientific, pre-packaged White House propaganda distribution concerning the disease.
One of the contentions these Obama minions have put forth is in misrepresenting calls for travel restrictions or travel bans as potentially hampering the efforts of Western aid workers in combating Ebola. Despite the fact that no one has called for measures preventing aid to areas in which Ebola is prevalent, Frieden, Fauci and others continue to warn that such policies could deter health-care workers from traveling to West Africa and threaten public health around the globe.
This makes no sense whatsoever, but the mantra continues, and few in the press have challenged this illogical drivel as illogical drivel.
Then, along comes Dr. Craig Spencer, who, after returning from treating Ebola patients in West Africa, breaks out with the infection, smack-dab in the middle of New York City. This, after resuming what he thought was "life as normal" for six days prior to becoming symptomatic.
One of the most notable concerns regarding Dr. Spencer is that he passed the so-called "enhanced screening" that had just been implemented at New York airports for parties who were arriving from West Africa.
Obviously, a bustling metropolis such as New York is one of the last places anyone would hope Ebola might rear its ugly head, but there it was. As a precautionary measure, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie ordered health-care workers coming in from West Africa to undergo a 21-day quarantine upon their arrival in those states. Several other states followed suit.
In an almost uncanny twist, and right on the heels of the quarantine orders, along comes Kaci Hickox, a nurse who had just finished treating Ebola patients in Sierra Leone. Last Friday, she flew into Newark Liberty Airport in New Jersey and was promptly quarantined.
Just as promptly, Hickox lawyered up and began screaming to the press and anyone else who would listen that the government was putting her through "emotional and physical stress" and that her "basic human rights" were being violated. In the ensuing firestorm – and after direct pressure from the White House – governors Cuomo and Christie folded like a crappy hand of cards; Hickox was released, and both states agreed to re-evaluate their quarantine policy.
One would think that Kaci Hickox, a health-care professional who had seen the devastation wrought by Ebola, and who understood the risks, would have considered it her civic duty to take one for Team America and sit out the quarantine. I mean, it isn't like they were sending her to Gitmo. Instead, she chooses to re-define the term "diva" and raise as much hell as possible.
Well, there was a method to Ms. Hickox's madness – and it lay in the fact that she just happened to be in the employ of the CDC.
Yes, you can pick your jaw up off the floor now, and as humorist Dave Barry was known to say: I am absolutely not making this up. Though efforts were made to scrub the evidence of Kaci Hickox's affiliation with the CDC from online sources, enough remained to definitively determine that she was not only an employee of the CDC, but a registered Democrat and Obama supporter with a history of left-wing activism.
Earlier this year, Hickox featured prominently in the 63rd Annual Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) Conference, a CDC symposium on infectious diseases. Thus, it is no great intellectual leap in considering the timing of Hickox's quarantine (and subsequent public meltdown), the "omission" of her ties to the CDC and her penchant for left-wing causes to arrive at the conclusion that this stunt just might have been an elaborate White House PR contrivance to foment opposition to Ebola quarantine efforts.
If the administration's imperative for maintaining unfettered access on the part of potential Ebola carriers to this country isn't perplexing enough: A State Department memo leaked to Fox News this week suggests that the Obama administration has been considering allowing non-American Ebola patients into the U.S. for treatment. This was confirmed by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., who told Fox News that his office had received "information from within the administration" that such plans were being developed.
Are they insane? the reader may ask.
Under other circumstances, I might answer in the affirmative – or at least entertain the possibility that administration officials had taken leave of their senses. Considering the character of this administration, I feel quite comfortable maintaining that this administration – the same one whose principals' beliefs are rooted in the philosophy of Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Castro, the same one whose actions have led to the deaths of tens of thousands in the Middle East and Africa, the same one that has targeted and persecuted political opponents, spied on private citizens, funded and trained terrorists and left America open to attack via their immigration, visa and border policies – might well intend to facilitate an Ebola epidemic in the United States.
How large they might wish it to get and how it plays into their sick endgame specifically is difficult to say, but with this bunch, history dictates that it's better to err on the side of the diabolical.

"Carolyn has written a touching story about the tender ties between parent and child, and the feelings of love and loss brought on by long military separations."
"The Knock is an honest reflection of the realities most military families must work through. Although the setting takes place over 50 years ago, the raw feelings can be understood by every little girl or boy who has ever had a military parent leave home. Military service is a sacrifice felt by entire families, not just individuals. The Knock connects children of every age and background around the world who remains at home and waits for their parents' return from fulfilling their military service."
"This is a caring and sensitive story which describes, in heartfelt detail, what it's like for a young girl when her dad is deployed to a faraway place on active military duty. Day-to-day family coping skills, the strength of supportive relatives, and the worries about her seriously wounded father after his return home are all voiced by a child who lived this scenario. The story's positive outcome will bring comfort to children in similar circumstances. Highly recommended for parents and children to read together, The Knock will surely stimulate some constructive and helpful family conversations."
