'The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms' – N.K. Jemisin (Orbit)
One of the characteristics of this blog has been my unfailing ability to be the last person to read a 'hot new debut' or 'next big thing'. I don't know how I manage to do it, I certainly have every intention of reading these books as soon as humanly possible. No matter how good my intentions are though I will invariably read these books months after the rest of the blogosphere have polished them off and moved on to other fare.
No more though! The plan is to be there right from the start in future, no more turning up late to the party for me! N.K. Jemisin's 'The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms' is a book that several blogs have highlighted as 'one to look out for' and the reviews I've seen so far have all been positive to a degree. Where better a place to start then for my new found resolution? Where better indeed... 'The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms' isn't without it's flaws but was an enthralling read nevertheless. I'll definitely be reading the sequel.
Yeine Darr's life is a consequence of her mother's self exile; she lives in the barbarian north, not really a part of her adoptive people and with no idea of her roots. All this is about to change though... Yeine is summoned to the majestic city of Sky and is named as one of the heirs to the throne by the ruler of the Hundred Thousand Kingdoms. It's not as simple as it sounds though. The other two heirs (Yeine's cousins) will do anything to gain the throne and Yeine must find her place in the labyrinthine corridors of Sky before she can even begin to fight that battle. In a city where the lives of the Gods intertwine with mortals Yeine will also find that her every move is being manipulated in ways that she never even imagined. The only thing that Yeine can be sure of is that she will find out the truth behind her mother's death and the bloody history of her family that has led to this point.
As much as I didn't want to hang around before reading 'The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms' I'll admit that I came to this one with no expectations other than the positive reviews of a couple of blogs that I trust. Books are hyped for more than one reason and it would be a poor publicity department that didn't put their weight behind a book when it hits the shelves. Cynicism aside though, books are also hyped because they're very good and worthy of praise; 'The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms' not only falls into this category but sits there very comfortably indeed, you wouldn't have thought this was a debut effort from Jemisin.
That's not to say the book is without faults though. Starting the story from just before its end and then going backwards and forwards, filling in the gaps, is a novel way of building up the big picture but I never really got a sense of things coming together in that manner until a lot closer to the end. What I got instead was a feeling that the narrative was being doled out in a piecemeal manner when a little more cohesion could have made all the difference in terms of things flowing more smoothly.
In a similar vein Yeine's story is told from a first person viewpoint (hers) and this does prove detrimental to the smooth running of the plot, especially when she realises that she has forgotten something and brings the main thrust of the story to a halt while she goes back and recounts what she missed. While this approach makes a sense when you finally see what she is going through at the end, it also has the effect of occasionally derailing the plot when it starts to get interesting. Cliff hangers pop up when there's really no need just because Yeine forgot to mention something earlier. I found myself wanting these 'forgotten bits' to hurry up and finish just so I could get back to the main plot.
Once you get past these issues (or get used to them?) things pick up and you find yourself with a story that demands your attention and rewards you appropriately. Given the ending, where a sequel will come from but one thing I am sure of is that I will be around to see what happens next.
The city of Sky is a place where mystery is piled on top of more mystery. Some of these mysteries are integral to the plot whilst others must be solved merely Yeine can maintain her already fragile position in the court. There is very much a sense of Yeine having to run quickly just so she can stay standing still but that is not to say that plot that the plot itself remains stationary. Things are constantly moving forwards and it's all credit to Jemisin that you find yourself wanting to make the effort to keep up. Whether a question posed is integral to the plot or not, Jemisin makes it clear how important it all is to Yeine's future in the city. When you're faced with what's at stake then you find yourself having to read on in order to find out how it all ends.
A plot such as this means that there's a lot of politicking by necessity but, again, Nemisin saves her reader from becoming mired in machination by successfully conveying the urgency in Yeine's need to get up to speed as soon as possible. Again, once you know what's at stake you find yourself having to keep reading in order to see how it all comes out in the end.
The setting is lush and glorious with supporting characters displaying a refined sensuality that is conveyed in such a manner whereby it never strays into the realms of pornography. You are left in no doubt as to the intensity of Yeine's meetings with the Nightlord but Jemisin never has to spell it out for you. I liked that, sometimes less really is more. I also enjoyed the way that the Gods were portrayed over the course of the book; both the characters themselves (Sieh was a personal favourite) and the way that they fit, albeit reluctantly, into the way that Sky runs. You can feel their resentment coming off the page, promising great things for the rest of the book...
Jemisin does well to bring all the plot strands together by the end of the book, just in time for a finale that rounds off the book in style. Like I said earlier, despite it's early faults you wouldn't have thought that 'The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms' was Jemisin's debut. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next.

I think that these interuptions, be they backflashes, visions, comments or infodumps, are a conscious part of the writing style. I was surprised that they worked so well for me and that the story flowed so well despite (or because) of them.
I kind of been avoiding this book... what with my TBR pile bursting at the seams... okey, okey, I'll have a look again....

I often have trouble with time jumps in novels. Dan Simmons latest did that as well, but eventually I get used to it. Makes me feel the need to reread the book, though! I wonder if that is just happening in *this* book or if all these time jumps are going to continue through the series? Which would make the series itself quite complicated.
Still want to read it, though :-)
Excellent, got this off amazon last week. may jump straight to it when I finish The Cardinals Blades (many a buckle being swashed with added dragons, what's not to like!).
By the way I wouldn't have minded a touch of porn, perhaps that says too much about me.

Me driving. Slight grin on my face. My daughter in the back seat chatting a mile a minute, following one train of thought after another. I find her stories refreshing and her insights frequently random and occasionally brilliant.
Continuation of the verbalization of a seven-year old's mind. Bigger grin on my face as I pull into the spot and hear a 'CRUNCH' sound.
The idea of being mindful is not recent. Buddhism has encouraged this practice for thousands of years. Being mindful enhances our over-all mental, emotional, and physical health. How does one enhance their mindfulness? PAY ATTENTION. In other words, watch where you're driving. We tend to wallow in our minds and our emotions. When you notice this happening, I invite you to take a deliberate breath and consciously focus on what's in front of you. Breathe and notice the scene through the windshield. Breathe and observe the trees as you walk. Breathe and feel into the person seated across from you.
Try this Beautiful Energy exercise that will guide you into a mindful state.
1. Take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.
2. Look at your surroundings and choose a pleasant object.
3. Really see the object. Continue to breath deeply.
4. Notice the texture. Notice the colors. What do you imagine it feels like?
5. Take one last deep breath and imagine you merge with the object.
How do you feel after the exercise? Share your experience with us in the comments section.


Is there anything worse in the life of a baker than reading an amazing recipe, deciding to make it right then and there, and running out of caster sugar? You're about 100g short to make a delicious cake that you swore you had all the ingredients for, and you sulk off, plans ruined and cake-less. There really is no worse feeling.
Yet sometimes in life, you hit the recipe jackpot. The other day, I nonchalantly bought a tub of yoghurt alongside my copy of the Observer, milk and bacon. As I settled down to read the magazine supplement, the ever-brilliant Nigel Slater caught my eye with his column, this week all about mint. In the article accompanying the recipes, he bemoaned the 'pointless mint sprig' that appears on many a dessert plate as a garnish, alongside 'a shower of icing sugar, usually in the company of an inappropriate raspberry'. I couldn't have agreed (or laughed) more, and couldn't wait to see his recipes that celebrated, rather than hindered this glorious herb. As I turned the page, I drooled over the concept of frozen mint choc chip yoghurt, glanced over the ingredients list and my heart leapt. I had everything in! I had recently replenished my caster sugar stocks, there was leftover chocolate from my Ultimate Chocolate Birthday Cake, and there was a packet of mint sitting bored in the fridge, with nothing more than a couple of sprigs picked out to make Raspberry Champagne Mojitos. It was recipe making fate, and I quickly set about making this seriously tasty ice cream substitute.
I've been rather wary of recipes in the past that don't call for an ice cream maker; I've tried making with and without and more often than not, ice cream machine wins hands down. But this recipe only calls for patience and a little elbow grease whisking the ice particles together into smooth frozen yoghurt. True, there is a lot of waiting around, but it's a perfect recipe to make when you have other things to do. Put on a wash. Whisk. Tidy your room. Whisk. Make a bacon sandwich. Whisk. A simple way to make a delicious frozen treat without staring at an ice cream machine for 20 minutes. Now that's what I call recipe genius. Nigel, I salute you.
Place half the mint sprigs and the caster sugar in a mortar and pestle, and grind together until you have a light green scented sugar. Tip into a saucepan and add the water. Place over a high heat and bring to the boil. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove from the heat and place the saucepan in a sink filled with a shallow layer of cold water. Leave to cool.
Blitz the remaining mint with the yoghurt with a hand blender and pour into a bowl. Once the mint syrup has cooled, pour into the yoghurt and mix together carefully. Transfer to a plastic tub suitable for the freezer and freeze for two hours. Remove, then whisk the ice crystals that have formed at the sides into the middle of the tub then place back in the freezer.
Repeat about 4-5 times each half hour until the yoghurt has almost frozen, then roughly chop the chocolate into small pieces and fold in carefully. Place back in the freezer and leave to freeze completely.
When ready to serve, remove from the freezer for 5-10 minutes, then serve with an ice cream scoop that has been warmed in a mug of hot water.

Q: pie chart in highchart with dynamic data I want to create a pie chart with a dynamic data in highchart so I create this method :
pieData :any=[];
getPiedata() {
 this.service.getSales().subscribe(data => {
    this.sales=data ;

    for (var i = 0; i < this.sales.length; i++){
       this.pieData.push({
          "name" : this.sales[i][this.pienames],
          "y" : this.sales[i][this.piepercent]
       })
     }
    ;
    console.log("pie",this.pieData);
    return JSON.stringify(this.pieData);
 })
}

And this is the method PreparePiechart() :
PreparePiechart() {
this.pieOptions ={
   chart : {
     plotBackgroundColor: null,
     plotBorderWidth: null,
     plotShadow: false,
     type : 'pie'
   },
   title: {
     text: ''
   },

   series: [{
     name: 'Brands',
     colorByPoint: true,
     data: this.getPiedata()
   }]
 }}

The expected input in data is a json like that :
 [
  {name: "book1",
     y: 50
  }
  {name: "book2",
     y: 50
  }
  ]

And this is the ngOnInit() :
ngOnInit() {
   this.PreparePiechart()
 }

But I had an empty Pie chart ! How to fix this ?

A: The data is asynchronous. You could build the chart after the data is received. Try the following
getPiedata() {
 this.service.getSales().subscribe(data => {
    this.sales = data ;

    for (var i = 0; i < this.sales.length; i++){
      this.pieData.push({
        "name" : this.sales[i][this.pienames],
        "y" : this.sales[i][this.piepercent]
      })
    }
    console.log("pie",this.pieData);
    this.preparePiechart(JSON.stringify(this.pieData));  // <-- create chart options here
 })
}

preparePiechart(pieData: any) {
  this.pieOptions = {
    chart : {
      plotBackgroundColor: null,
      plotBorderWidth: null,
      plotShadow: false,
      type : 'pie'
    },
    title: {
      text: ''
    },

    series: [{
      name: 'Brands',
      colorByPoint: true,
      data: pieData
    }]
 }
}

Just a few hours after arriving in Dakar, Senegal, from an AU summit in South Africa, Mohamed Ibn Chambas is back on a sweltering tarmac waiting to board a small UN plane headed for Conakry, the capital of Guinea. It's 15 June 2015, and the government and opposition in Guinea are preparing for a national dialogue to discuss, among other issues, how elections will be conducted in the country later in the year. Mr Ibn Chambas, the Secretary-General's Special Representative (SRSG) for West Africa is going to the country to observe that process.
Mr Ibn Chambas has been doing a lot of this kind of work this year, having played a key role in helping Nigeria conduct peaceful and credible polls back in March 2015. And he's going to be doing a lot more of it in the coming months.
In Guinea, the government and the opposition are still debating how to establish a level playing field for the elections. A major point of contention was the sequencing of the elections – whether to only hold presidential elections, or coupled with local elections, or first to hold presidential elections and later on organize local elections. That issue has now been overcome thanks to the national dialogue.
Mr Ibn Chambas arrived in Conakry as the country waited for the rainy season and Ramadan to start – one day before the scheduled kick off of the national dialogue. "I'm here to support the Guinean efforts, encourage them to engage in dialogue, accompany them, and work together with other parties to ensure that we are able to have credible, inclusive and peaceful elections in Guinea," Mr Ibn Chambas said as his plane landed in Conakry.
Representatives of the international community in Guinea meeting with the Ministers who were tasked to organize and chair the national dialogue.
His efforts are part of the Secretary General's good offices, to carry out timely initiatives in preventive diplomacy and to contribute to regional responses to political crises in the 16 countries in West Africa that the United Nations Regional Office for West Africa (UNOWA) covers. The region as a whole is in transition. Many of its democracies are young, and the existing and potential divides – regional, ethnic, religious, demographic – mean that relatively minor problems can easily deteriorate.
"That means we have to anticipate and remain active all the time", stressed Mr Ibn Chambas.
The United Nations Office for West Africa (UNOWA) was established in January 2002 (S/20011128 from 26 November 2001) and is headed by Mohamed Ibn Chambas, the Special Representative of the Secretary General (SRSG) for West Africa and the High-Level Representative for Nigeria.
UNOWA's core functions consist of preventive diplomacy, good offices and political mediation and facilitation and assisting regional institutions and States to enhance their capacity in those fields; working with regional institutions and States to address cross-border and cross-cutting threats to peace and security in West Africa; promoting good governance and respect for the rule of law, human right and gender equity in conflict prevention and management initiatives in West Africa; providing political support and advice to the United Nations presences in West Africa and facilitating the implementation of the International Court of Justice ruling of 10 October 2002 on the land and maritime boundary dispute between Cameroon and Nigeria.
The Office works closely with regional organizations – particularly with the African Union, ECOWAS, the Mano River Union, the Commission of the Gulf of Guinea and UN entities in the region.
UNOWA covers 16 countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Cote d'Ivoire, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo.
But Mr Ibn Chambas and other UN envoys working on conflict prevention have to take care to avoid their active diplomacy being perceived as interference. In Guinea, there is some apprehension about the UN's and the international community's involvement in creating conducive conditions for elections.
"Our effort has been to reassure them that far from seeking to interfere, we simply want to underline the interest that the international community has in this country and our willingness and our ability to mobilize support for them in a constructive way to ensure peaceful and credible elections," Mr Chambas emphasized.
The key, Mr Ibn Chambas underlined, is keeping an equal distance from all sides and reaching out to all, while being constructive and positive. This has helped Guineans increasingly accept the UN's role. Indeed, the UN was initially meant only to observe the national dialogue, but as talks started the Government facilitators and the parties requested Mr Chambas to assume an informal facilitation role.
Mr Ibn Chambas' last visit to Guinea ended two days ago. But the related work continues today, as he briefs the Security Council on that mission and on the work of UNOWA for the last six months. He will, of course, be bringing his analysis and information from the ground. But importantly, he will also be looking to the Council for support for his efforts in the region.


The wife and I was at the sales gallery of The Nautical (Tan: this one's for you!). This is the latest 99-year leasehold project by China developer MCC Land located along Sembawang Road (District 27).
For those unfamiliar with the location of The Nautical, the project is sandwiched between the (new/rebuilt) Sembawang Shopping Centre on one side and Canberra Residences (another private residential project by MCC Land that was launched early of last year) on the other. Entrance to The Nautical will be along Jalan Sendudok, which is a slip road between Nautical and Canberra. The sales gallery for The Nautical is located on an open field diagonally across the road from its actual site.
And for those who are more visually inclined, below is a photo (taken from the HDB block across from the showflat) showing the locations of all the "landmarks" mentioned earlier.
The Nautical is a low-rise development consisting of 435 apartment units, spreading across a whopping 17 blocks of 5-storey each. And unilke many of the new project these days, the bulk of the units at The Nautical are 3-bedroom apartments. These come in two types: 3-bedroom (standard) and 3-bedroom (premium).
For those who are looking at 4-bedders, there are only 16 units of such type within the development (unless you wish to conisder the penthouses). Consolation is out of the 16, only 4 (ok, maybe 5) have been sold thus far - the wife and I have a theory on why this is so, which we will share in due course.
The sales gallery was rather empty when we arrived, probably because it was a weekday afternoon. There are 2 showflat types on display within the gallery, i.e. the 3- and 4-bedder, ground-floor units. Since most of the units in The Nautical are 3-bedders, we will focus on this unit type for the purpose of our review.
As you enter the unit, you have a choice of turning left into the yard/wet kitchen (one of two entry points) or walking forward into the living/dining area. The living/dining room is a longish rectangular area and given the size, small furnitures are probably in order. You get 60cm x 60cm homogenous-tile floor (which comes with a choice of "warm" or "cool" color themes) and 2.9m ceiling height (3.1m for ground-floor units).
The apartment comes with both "wet" and "dry" kitchen area (sorry about the poor photo quality). Given the size of the apartment (i.e. interior space of no more than 1,000sqft), we actually prefer that the developer dispense with the dry kitchen as it will free up more space for the living/dining area. The "standard" 3-bedder, coincidentally, do not have a dry kitchen.
The "wet" kitchen is a small strip of an area, which is probably just sufficient for one person to work in. In terms of appliances, you get "Electrolux" hood/hob and oven. You also get an induction hob on the "dry" kitchen table-top. However, you have to purchase your own fridge. The other thing that we do not quite like about the kitchen are the cabinets, which come with "standard" hinges (slam! slam!).
The utility room will require a customized bed if intended for housing your helper. There is an additional bathroom next-door and an a space to house your washing machine. The yard is well ventilated by a set of windows, which also means that you probably can hang your laundry out of the window (we apologize again for the photo quality).
Again for the benefits of the visually inclined, below is a photo showing the orientation of each of the living spaces within the apartment.
Both the common bedrooms are tiny - you have hardly any space left after putting in the wardrobe and single bed. Maybe that is the reason why the interior designer had resorted to putting the standing hanger in the balcony!
The common bathroom is fairly good-sized and comes with homogenous-tile floors and ceramic walls. It also comes with bathroom/toilet fittings from "Roca" and "Bravat" and a standing shower stall. The wife and I found the overall design of the common bathroom somewhat basic and the color theme a tad too "plain"
The master bathroom is good-sized and we liked the color scheme and design much better (than the common bathroom). However, you still get the same homogenous-tile floors/ceramic walls and shower-stall with your "standard" wall-mounted shower.
Price wise, a 1,119sqft 3-bedder unit on the 2nd floor will cost you $984,200 after a 5% discount. This translates to about $880psf. Prices to increase by about $10K with each floor up.
• One can access the yard/wet kitchen area as you enter the main door, without having to walk across the living/dining room. This is especially handy when you are carrying all those fish/meat/vegetable bought from the wet-market.
• All the rooms are regular-shaped with no odd nooks or corners that you need to worry about.
• The size of the living/dining area and all bedrooms are too small for our liking. But we reckon this is the "sacrifice" you have to make when you fit a 3-bedder apartment inside an internal space of less than 1,000sqft.
• The wife and I are perplexed by the rather huge A/C ledge that comes with each apartment - this is a space that you have little/no use but still have to pay for.
• We are not particularly impressed by the quality of finishing and fittings as seen in the showflat. Then again, maybe this is what we should expect with apartments of less than $1,000psf these days?
• Although the balcony/PES area in the showflat are clearly demarcated, the blatant use of balcony area for inappropriate purposes (writing desk?) to make the showflat looked more "spacious" is rather disappointing.
For those of you still waiting for our theory on the 4-bedder "take-up rate" (or the lack thereof): if you look closer at our photo of the scale-model of The Nautical, you will realize that ALL the 4-bedders are East-West facing. This means that your apartment will feel very much like a sauna on a hot humid Singapore afternoon, as it gets the full impact of the West sun.
We have heard alot about The Nautical and its supposed strong take-up rate before our trip to the showflat. But based on what we have seen, we are not at all impressed by the offerings. To be fair, the average psf price of below $900psf is probably one of the most attractive around. This is especially when compared to other new projects currently in the market ($980 - $1,500psf for Watertown in Punggol?!). However, the location of The Nautical (rather "ulu" and far from everything else except Sembawang Shopping Centre) and the quality of the project have left little to be desired.
Given such, we reckon The Nautical will probably only appeal to those currently living around Sembawang or nearby areas. As for the rest of us...there are always other projects that you can look at.
21 comments to ''The Nautical (Review)"
some ppl call it "ulu" but some call it "resilient" and far from the noise of city haha!
*p/s: there's one tennis court on the block 99.. you have overlooked it..
there's also the NSE coming soon in the nearby Gambas ave, as well as the "speculated" Simpang NS12 MRT just beside the land.. but will take some time to realize..
Haha. Thank you guys for the long review!
1. We can only based our review on what we saw at the 3-bedder showflat. However, we did go through the floor plans of all the 9 different 3-bedder variants and they all seemed to have the common threads, i.e. small bedrooms, large A/C ledges c/w the unit size etc.
2. Walking distance to Sembawang MRT: You certainly can walk faster than both of us, as it probably took us slightly over 15 mins to cover the distance. And looking at some of the online comments we found on the same subject, it looked like we weren't walking too slowly either!
3. More importantly, thank you very much for pointing out our oversight about the tennis court. We have since amended our review to reflect such.
You may be referring to stations along the Thomson MRT Line, which will supposedly be completed by 2018.
But you are right about the NSE though.
haha not dumping. typo. it's simpang.
most of the condo provides condo bus to MRT station. so should be fine. currently I stay far away from MRT station so relying on condo bus.
anyway the current showroom site is the future sports n recreation centre. u may refer to the masterplan 2008.
true regarding the inefficient usage of floor size for the AC ledge haha! should hv converted to usable area will benefit more.
anyway it's the 3 bedders in less than 1000 sqft, n with such pricing it's hard to find elsewhere d..
yes confirmed have condo bus. maybe you hv overlooked it again. the condo bus will be free for first year n subsequently take over by management.
since it's sports n recreation centre.. it might not be narrowed down to the football stadium only. could be a park n indoor stadium. but plan yet to be released.. so speculation here haha.
there are huge lands to be developed jz beside the Canberra drive.. as well as the residential area near the nautical site.. I would say there are high potentials for the future .. anyway time will tell..
Thanks and we blame it on the marketing person attending to us. The wife and I are pretty certain he did not tell us about the condo bus (cos if it's an oversight, we would admit to it).
Agreed that anything can happen in the future with regards to development around Nauctical/Canberra.
Maybe the goverment may decide to make Sembawang the "Gateway of the North" much like the Jurong Lake Districts. Or if you choose to believe in Roland Emmerich (producer of the movie "2012"), the world may just come to an end this year!
But the wife and I can only base our opinion on what we know or have read over the past few years. And from whatever little we know/read (cos we aren't experts in Sembawang), nothing in the likes of Jurong or Punggol have been laid out for this area (yet).
Having said that, it is a project worth considering for. For those interested can call me at 97998253. My name is Joseph Tan from Propnex.
And maybe we should start charging those who advertise on our blog.
I think the developer increased the price by abt $20 psf even though the demand has tapered off. The maintenance is more than $300.
I think it is a good buy. I love staying in Sembawang especially away from crowd place like Yishun or woodlands. Visited 8CY, 1C, PRW but still prefer Nautical.
Hello folks@PropTalk, I'm considering a unit at the nautical. About the walk from the condo to sembawang mrt, may I know if you walked along the main road or cut through the hdbs ? Was told it was 20 mins if I walked along the main road and 10 mins if I cut through the hdbs at canberra.

2005: England win the Ashes
England have beaten Australia in the Ashes series for the first time since 1987 after a draw in the final Test at The Oval.
Kevin Pietersen hit 158 and Ashley Giles 59 before England were bowled out for 335 with a final series result of 2-1, snuffing out Australian hopes of victory.
Australia batted for just four balls before bad light intervened, and a draw was eventually declared by the umpires.
The result brings to an end a series many have dubbed the "best ever".
The Queen and Prime Minister Tony Blair led the tributes to captain Michael Vaughan and his victorious team after the match.
There will be a victory parade tomorrow - but the champagne flowed as soon as Vaughan lifted the tiny brown Ashes urn aloft and the team was were showered in ticker tape and streamers.
The players then completed a victory lap of the Oval pitch to salute the 23,000-strong crowd that had roared them on all day.
Fans had spread onto the roofs and balconies of houses around the south London ground, and also celebrated in style, as did the country at large.
England's cricketers were given a rapturous reception in London's Trafalgar Square the following day during a victory parade to celebrate their win over Australia.
Captain Michael Vaughan thanked the "fantastic" thronging crowd and admitted: "This is beyond a dream."
The team later enjoyed a Downing Street reception and went to Lord's to hand over the Ashes urn for safe-keeping.
England's women's team were also part of the parade, following their own Ashes triumph in August.
In the New Year's Honours List for 2006, Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff was awarded the MBE for his role in the successful Ashes side.

Q: Return Top Track Spotify API I am trying to create a helper file that will return the top track(s) of any artist's related artists. All I want to do use 1 artist URI to surface their related artists' name, popularity, and top track. And I want to separate out the top track functionality into a separate file that I can call whenever.
But, I can't seem to figure out how to properly return the top track of the related artists.
In  my "get-toptrack.js" file:
   require([
      '$api/models',
      '$api/toplists#Toplist'
    ], function(models, Toplist) {
      'use strict';

      var doGetTopTrack = function(uri, num) {
        var artistURI = uri;
        var artist = models.Artist.fromURI(artistURI);
        var artistTopList = Toplist.forArtist(artist);

        artistTopList.tracks.snapshot().done(function(snapshot){

          snapshot.loadAll('name').done(function(tracks) {
            var i, num_toptracks;
            num_toptracks = num;

              for(i = 0; i < num_toptracks; i++){
                console.log("top track: " + tracks[i].name);
                // WHERE DO I RETURN THE TOP TRACKS??
              }
          });
        });
      };

      exports.doGetTopTrack = doGetTopTrack;
    });

In my "artist.js" file":
require([
    '$api/models',
    'scripts/get-toptrack'
  ], function(models, getTopTrack) {
    'use strict';

    var showRelated = function() {
      var artist_properties = ['name', 'popularity','related', 'uri'];

      models.Artist
        .fromURI('spotify:artist:11FY888Qctoy6YueCpFkXT')
        .load(artist_properties)
        .done(function(artist){

          artist.related.snapshot().done(function(snapshot){
            snapshot.loadAll('name').done(function(artists) {

              for(var i = 0; i < artists.length; i++){
                var u, p, n, t, listItem;

                // store artist details
                p = artists[i].popularity;
                n = artists[i].name;
                u = artists[i].uri;

                // am I missing something here?
                t = getTopTrack.doGetTopTrack(u, 1);

                listItem = document.createElement("li");
                listItem.innerHTML = "Name: " + n.decodeForText() + " | Popularity:  " + p + " | Top Track: " + t;

                // undefined name
                $('#artistsContainer').append(listItem);

              }
            });

          });
        });
    };

    exports.showArtists = showArtists;
  });

And in the 'main.js' file, I call the artists function to begin.
require([
  '$api/models',
  'scripts/artist'
], function(models, initArtist) {
  'use strict';

  initArtist.showRelated();
});

A: can't comment on the multiple .js files as I haven't yet refactored my app into multiple files.
As far as returning goes, you're working in an asynchronous application, so you can't.  You have to use a callback, or a Spotify Promise might make your api more congruous with Spotify's.  Look at the documentation for Promise.each().
Here is an implementation of the callback method.  Changed a few things to make it easier for me to test.  Made life a bit easier to pass the artist in instead.  Also, there is no guarantee of the order they will come out since the second artist's toplist could come back faster than the first.  You'll need to add more code if you want to keep order.
function doGetTopTrack(artist, num, callback) {
    var artistTopList = Toplist.forArtist(artist);

    artistTopList.tracks.snapshot(0,num).done(function (snapshot) { //only get the number of tracks we need

        snapshot.loadAll('name').done(function (tracks) {
            var i, num_toptracks;
            num_toptracks = num; //this probably should be minimum of num and tracks.length

            for (i = 0; i < num_toptracks; i++) {
                callback(artist, tracks[i]);
            }
        });
    });
};

function showRelated() {
    var artist_properties = ['name', 'popularity', 'related', 'uri'];

    models.Artist
      .fromURI('spotify:artist:11FY888Qctoy6YueCpFkXT')
      .load(artist_properties)
      .done(function (artist) {

          artist.related.snapshot().done(function (snapshot) {
              snapshot.loadAll('name').done(function (artists) {

                  for (var i = 0; i < artists.length; i++) {
                      // am I missing something here?
                      doGetTopTrack(artists[i], 1, function (artist, toptrack) {
                              console.log("top track: " + toptrack.name);

                              var p = artist.popularity;
                              var n = artist.name;
                              var u = artist.uri;

Q: Uniqueness in Permutation and Combination I am trying to create some pseudocode to generate possible outcomes for this scenario:
There is a tournament taking place, where each round all players in the tournament are in a group with other players of different teams.
Given x amount of teams, each team has exactly n amount of players. What are the possible outcomes for groups of size r where you can only have one player of each team AND the player must have not played with any of the other players already in previous rounds.
Example: 4 teams (A-D), 4 players each team, 4 players each grouping.
Possible groupings are:  (correct team constraint)
A1, B1, C1, D1
A1, B3, C1, D2

But not: (violates same team constraint)
A1, A3, C2, D2
B3, C2, D4, B1

However, the uniqueness constraint comes into play in this grouping
A1, B1, C1, D1
A1, B3, C1, D2

While it does follow the constraints of playing with different teams, it has broken the rule of uniqueness of playing with different players. In this case A1 is grouped up twice with C1
At the end of the day the pseudocode should be able to create something like the following
Round 1   Round 2   Round 3   Round 4
 a1 b1     a1 d4     a1 c2     a1 c4
 c1 d1     b2 c3     b4 d3     d2 b3

 a2 b2     a2 d1     a2 c3     a2 c1
 c2 d2     b3 c4     b1 d4     d3 b4

 a3 b3     a3 d2     a3 c4     a3 c2
 c3 d3     b4 c1     b2 d1     d4 b1

 a4 b4     a4 d3     a4 c1     a4 c3
 c4 d4     b1 c2     b3 d2     d1 b2

In the example you see that in each round no player has been grouped up with another previous player.

A: If the number of players on a team is a prime power (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 16, 17, 19, etc.), then here's an algorithm that creates a schedule with the maximum number of rounds, based on a finite affine plane.
We work in the finite field GF(n), where n is the number of players on a team. GF(n) has its own notion of multiplication; when n is a prime, it's multiplication mod n, and when n is higher power of some prime, it's multiplication of univariate polynomials mod some irreducible polynomial of the appropriate degree. Each team is identified by a nonzero element of GF(n); let the set of team identifiers be T. Each team member is identified by a pair in T×GF(n). For each nonzero element r of GF(n), the groups for round r are
{{(t, r*t + c) | t in T} | c in GF(n)},

where * and + denote multiplication and addition respectively in GF(n).
Implementation in Python 3

This problem is very closely related to the Social Golfer Problem. The Social Golfer Problem asks, given n players who each play once a day in g groups of size s (n = g×s), how many days can they be scheduled such that no player plays with any other player more than once?
The algorithms for finding solutions to instances of Social Golfer problems are a patchwork of constraint solvers and mathematical constructions, which together don't address very many cases satisfactorily. If the number of players on a team is equal to the group size, then solutions to this problem can be derived by interpreting the first day's schedule as the team assignments and then using the rest of the schedule. There may be other constructions.

Designed by Italian designer Harry Thaler, this Atelierhouse residence might seem ordinary at first with its grey slab floors and whitewashed walls.
Inside, you will find plenty of Scandinavian-like furniture, but the real highlight are the beds. The first is a twin size which folds down from within a wooden box that includes wheels, allowing it to be pushed around the apartment as needed. The second is a sort of "bedroom-in-a-box" in which a mattress is inserted into a refrigerator box.
Depending on your need for privacy, the walls can also be swung open or closed keeping the sleeper entirely inside the crate. More pictures below.

Sathiyasangaree "Gary" Anandasangaree MP (Tamil: சத்தியசங்கரி ஆனந்தசங்கரி) is a Tamil Canadian lawyer, human rights activist and politician. He was elected to represent the riding of Scarborough—Rouge Park in the House of Commons in the 2015 federal election.
Anandasangaree is the son of V. Anandasangaree, a leading Sri Lankan Tamil politician. His parents separated in 1980 and he and his mother moved to Ireland. They had planned to return to Sri Lanka in July 1983 when the Black July anti-Tamil riots broke out. Changing plans, Anandasangaree and his mother travelled to Canada on August 31, 1983. Anandasangaree is estranged from his father and has only met him twice since 1983.
After high school Anandasangaree attended Carleton University, graduating in 1996 with a B.A. honours degree in political science. He is married to Harini Sivalingam. They have two daughters, Bairavi and Sahanah.
Anandasangaree worked in real estate as a registered real estate broker between 1996 and 2006.
Anandasangaree studied at the Osgoode Hall Law School, the law faculty of York University. He graduated in 2005 with a LL.B. degree and was called to the bar in 2006. Anandasangaree is the principal lawyer at Gary Anandasangaree and Associates, a Toronto law firm specialising in business, real estate and international human rights law. He is a member of The Law Society of Upper Canada, Canadian Bar Association, Ontario Bar Association and South Asian Bar Association.
Anandasangaree has served on various community groups: Canadian Tamils' Chamber of Commerce (president); Canadian Tamil Congress (counsel); Canadian Tamil Youth Development Centre (chairman); Newcomer Grants for the United Way of Greater Toronto (member); Toronto Board of Trade (member); Toronto City Summit's Emerging Leaders Network (member); and Youth Challenge Fund (board member). He has also lectured at the Centennial College Centre for Small Business and Entrepreneurship. He has received the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal and Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. He has also been awarded the TREB Award and Henry Marshall Tory Award for Service.
Anandasangaree has been a vocal campaigner against human rights abuses during the Sri Lankan Civil War and has attended several sessions of the United Nations Human Rights Council. This has led to Sinhalese Buddhist nationalists labelling Anandasangaree as a member of the militant Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). However, LTTE supporters openly backed Anandasangaree's conservative opponent during the 2015 federal election campaign.
Anandasangaree became active in politics after joining the Liberal Party. In October 2013 Anandasangaree announced that he would be seeking the Liberal Party nomination for the Scarborough—Rouge Park for the 2015 federal election. He won the nomination election held in August 2014. He won the election held on October 19, 2015, securing 29,906 votes (60.1%).
Anandasangaree continued his advocacy for Human Rights in parliament, speaking on International Human Rights Day about welcoming Syrian refugees and an Iranian scholar (Dr. Hossein Raessi) who was protected due to a joint program between Carleton University and University of Ottawa.
Anandasangaree sat on the Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development committee in the 42nd Canadian Parliament.

Franz Anton Maulbertsch (parfois orthographié Maulpertsch) fut un peintre autrichien qui vécut de 1724 à 1796.

Il décora la Porta Coeli en Moravie ainsi que le palais de l'archevêque de Kremsier. Il produisit également des œuvres d'art pour des églises à Bicske, Kollotschau, ainsi que pour l'église Michaelerkirche et l'église des Piaristes  Maria Treu de Vienne.

Il peignit également les fresques du plafond de la Salle Philosophique du monastère de Strahov, à Prague.

Biographie
Originaire de Souabe, il naquit le  à Langenargen (au bord du lac de Constance). Son père Anton Maulbertsch fut également peintre.

Il arriva à Vienne à l'âge de 15 ans et étudia à l'Académie de Vienne de 1739 à 1741, sous la direction de Jacob van Schuppen. Il y obtint le premier prix de peinture en 1750. Il apprit à associer l'influence de la peinture de l'Allemagne méridionale avec le goût classique de la Cour de Vienne.

Il fut élu au conseil de l'Académie pour la première fois en 1770.

Il mourut à Vienne le .

Œuvre
Son art s'inspire de divers peintres italiens (tels que ceux de l'école vénitienne de Piazzetta), mais également de Rembrandt, qu'il connaissait au travers de ses gravures.

En 1750-1751, il peint le Triomphe de la Vérité sur le Temps, une grande peinture à l'huile pour le grand salon du château de Kirschstetten. En 1752, il peint son premier chef-d'œuvre : la fresque de la coupole de l'église des Piaristes Maria Treu à Vienne.

De 1752 à 1767 environ, il travailla principalement dans la partie orientale de l'Autriche-Hongrie, où il réalisa les imposantes fresques (Visitation de la Vierge, et Triomphe de la Trinité) de la cathédrale de Vác (Waizen), à  au nord de Budapest.

En 1767, il retourna travailler à Vienne. Sa dernière grande œuvre de cour en 1772 sera la fresque du plafond de la salle des géants de la Hofburg à Innsbruck, qui représente la réunion des Maisons de Habsbourg et de Lorraine.

 Philippe l'Apôtre baptise un eunuque (autour de 1750), huile sur papier, , Musée de l'Ermitage, Saint-Pétersbourg
 Victoire de saint Jacques de Compostelle (vers 1764), huile sur papier, , Palais du Belvédère (Vienne). Ébauche pour le plafond du chœur de l'église de Schwechat près de Vienne, détruite en 1944. Commande de Johans Jacob Wolff seigneur d'Ehrenbrunn.
 Autoportrait (vers 1767), Palais du Belvédère (Vienne)
 Jupiter et Antiope (vers 1780), huile sur toile, , Palais du Belvédère (Vienne)

Place dans l'histoire de la peinture
En dehors des pays de culture germanique, Franz Anton Maulbertsch est généralement peu connu, et on ne lui reconnaît pas la place qu'il devrait avoir en peinture.
Ceci tient en bonne partie à la nature de son œuvre : formée de grandes toiles, ou de fresques décorant les grands monuments des pays où il travailla (Autriche, Hongrie, Bohême, Moravie...), il est très peu ou pas du tout représenté dans les collections de peintures des autres pays, et donc largement ignoré du public.

Or son style mérite largement l'intérêt, par sa puissance expressive et son imagination, ses qualités décoratives, la facilité avec laquelle il passe sans effort d'un genre à l'autre.

Son traitement virtuose des couleurs et des effets de lumière annonce même dans une certaine mesure l'impressionnisme ; il fut en tout état de cause un inspirateur des peintres modernes autrichiens, et Oskar Kokoschka le considérait comme un de ses modèles.

Ever scare yourself in a turn on your motorcycle? Might as well as admit it, because it has happened to all of us. It probably felt like you were wrestling an alligator, with your body all tense, the bike not really responding to your desire to turn and a feeling like you are somehow just along for the ride instead of in control. All that is caused by our physiological response to fear. Fear is the enemy of proficient motorcycle operation and it is a menacing creature, which is why we discuss it in-depth in advanced cornering classes. With training, proper techniques and practice fear can be kept at bay, which in turn makes you a better and safer rider. We can discuss fear later, but in this snippet let's begin our work on the mechanics of cornering.
Cornering on a single track (2-wheeled) motorcycle is an extremely complex process that requires our higher levels of intellect to accomplish skillfully. Ever seen a circus bear riding a motorcycle? Sure, but have you ever seen a bear make a smooth turn at road speed on a motorcycle? No way. Just the physics of turning are mind boggling. I tried to read a book on the subject once. Sweet Jesus, they might as well have written it in Latin for all I understood. Still, my cornering skills are improving through a deeper understanding of the basics and lots of practice. The good news is that the practice is fun!
Slow – why, how, when, how much?
Look – where, when, at what, how do I look, why is it important?
Press – what is countersteering, why should I, how hard do I press, how long do I press?
Roll – why accelerate in a turn, where in the turn, how much throttle do I add?
And that's the short list! No wonder it can be overwhelming. Let's break down the process and in this snippet just discuss corner entry, the slowing part.
The first question is, do I need to slow for this corner? Answer: It depends. If you are at a speed at which you can go through the corner and not scare the bejeezus out of yourself, then maintain that speed to avoid being a hindrance to traffic behind you. If you are going a speed that would not allow you to roll on a little throttle through the turn, then slow down pre-corner and practice slower in, faster out. The reason why you should be on the throttle through the turn will be discussed in another snippet, but if you have ever coasted through a turn you know the motorcycle never felt settled and was more difficult to turn.
If you have to slow down, the most effective way to reduce speed before you enter a turn is to use your brakes. Many riders just roll off the throttle to accomplish this speed reduction, but rider beware! Throttle roll off decelerates your machine through a process called engine braking. The thing about engine braking is that it requires you to judge speed and distance compared to an inconsistent amount of engine braking force. Engine braking is inconsistent because it is greatly affected by slope of the roadway and other factors. Keep in mind that most cornering crashes are caused by riders that have misjudged their speed and entered a corner beyond their skill level, which uncorks the bottle of fear residing within. Your best approach is to slow using the front brake or both brakes prior to corner entry.
2. The rear brake on your bike is the least effective way to slow down.
Actual trail braking is an advanced skill involving the use of throttle and brakes simultaneously in retrograde and prograde. Also, dragging a rear brake through a turn is not very effective since it results in the use of about 30% of your total braking force on long wheelbase cruisers or touring bikes, and 10% or less on shorter wheelbase machines such as sport bikes. It's much more effective to use the front brake and slow quickly then return to the throttle as early as possible in the turn.
Good corners start at the beginning and the foundation of all is proper entry speed for your skill level. Practice good cornering skills with an emphasis on being smooth, not fast. Speed will come with skill development. Self-help books are available, Total Control by Lee Parks and Twist of the Wrist I & II by Keith Code are full of good information. If you are interested in advanced courses on cornering those are available in Texas and ask around to see which courses would work best for you.

Maine Mission Benefits From Oil Professionals
By John R. Hall
A volunteer group of contractors from the Pinetree Chapter of NAOHSM helped lay down tubing for the radiant floor heating system at the Root Cellar prior to the floor's cement pour.
LEWISTON, Maine - When a person has nowhere to turn in times of trouble, he or she often looks for help from community social groups, charitable organizations, or ministries. The urgency is even greater when a person is in a foreign land, looking for any help that is available.
Having a "safe house" to visit and get the needed support is critical, although some communities may lack the resources to support such an organization. Fortunately for the people in two Maine communities - Portland and Lewiston - there is such a group. The Root Cellar is an organization that supports thousands of immigrants in those two communities.
Part of its mission statement is this: "The Root Cellar is an interdenominational mission meeting the physical and spiritual needs of inner-city youth and their families by engaging the Christian community in volunteer ministries to build relationships that demonstrate the love and hope of the living Jesus Christ."
Portland's facility is well established and provides many services for the community. Lewiston, on the other hand, has been trying to build its own home because of the need for its services. While the organization was able to find a building, it lacked the resources to refurbish the facility and make it useable. The building needed repair and had no working heating system. But the plight of the Root Cellar didn't last long. Thanks to a long list of volunteers in the community and hard work by local oil heating professionals, the facility will soon have a first class heating system and be a place for immigrants to gather in the coming winter months.
Robert O'Connor, an Augusta contractor, was impressed with the Portland facility, so impressed that he began to coordinate an effort to bring heat to the Lewiston building. "Seeing what the Root Cellar does for the immigrants motivated me to do what I did," he said.
HERE'S WHAT HE DID
O'Connor was asked by friend and heating contractor Mark Cloutier if he would be interested in helping out the Root Cellar. After visiting the Portland location, O'Connor agreed to head up a group to explore the possibility of getting donated equipment and labor for the task.
The Root Cellar had a make-shift floor and the first thing to do was get funding to have an overpoured cement floor. Having secured that (the cement work was eventually donated by a local contractor), O'Connor sought the help of Oil Heat Cares, a not-for-profit foundation that assists needy persons and organizations with the replacement of their oil-heating appliance. Funds are raised to purchase heating equipment and the National Association of Oil Heating Service Managers (NAOHSM) chapters and members identify those within their neighborhoods who need a temporary helping hand by installing the equipment at no cost to the homeowner.
O'Connor hoped to get a reply from Oil Heat Cares - and he did. One of the directors, Dan Holohan, toured the Lewiston facility and immediately saw the need for help.
Prior to visiting the site, Holohan, creator of the popular Website HeatingHelp.com, secured a boiler for the project from Ed Nordstrom of Viessmann. He then asked manufacturers for pricing on infloor tubing. "I had asked all the tube manufacturers on the Wall [his Website message board] to get in touch with me with a discounted price, saying that we would take the best price," said Holohan. "It seemed like a fair way to go about it. No one could beat Uponor's price, which was free. Uponor and their rep John Barba are always there for us."
With the boiler and tubing secured, along with manifolds from Uponor and zone valves from Honeywell, O'Connor and a crew of 8-10 volunteers from the Pinetree (Maine) Chapter of NAOHSM laid the tubing before the pour. But the work wasn't done. The Root Cellar needed to construct an adjacent boiler room to house the Viessman boiler, which it found volunteers to do. And O'Connor needed extra resources to complete the work. So he asked for a monetary donation from Oil Heat Cares.
The organization came through with a $5,200 check to complete setting up the system and paying for any incidentals. Maine distributors Bell/Simons and F.W. Webb donated materials and design planning for the system. O'Connor, who said he spent "untold hours" working on the project, was very grateful and happy to see the unselfish work of the Lewiston community.
"It's been a real learning curve about how to work with charitable organizations," he said. "There were times when I was overwhelmed by it, but it is going to be an awesome center. I am proud to work with this project in some small way. This community is very generous."
Root Cellar executive director Dale Carlson commended the volunteers. "With all the other renovation needs, I can't comprehend how we could have provided for a heating system like the one Oil Heat Cares has installed for us," he said. "They have installed the best in an effort to help us control future energy costs. Robert O'Connor has been amazing. This job has become his passion. He has worked endlessly pulling people and resources together to make this happen."
Carlson went on to thank Oil Heat Cares for its generous contribution. "I can't even begin to express my thanks to these men from Oil Heat Cares," he said. "What a tremendous organization made up of the finest people Maine has to offer."

Saturday dreams are made of these. Clara and I met in the studio to sit down for a study of hard and gentle. A trip that took us into the depth of subject and object. With the natural light fading we felt like we're reaching a point of understanding each other.
