Prey for the Soulless
K.R. Lugo
Publisher: iUniverse Pages: 392 Price: (paperback) $21.95 ISBN: 9781475994735 Reviewed: October, 2013 Author Website: Visit »
K.R. Lugo's novel Prey for the Soulless is set in a society of the not-too-distant future that has lost its moral conscience.
The story begins as two gladiators fight to the death in combat reminiscent of ancient Rome. Thousands cheer on the blood sport in person, while billions more watch on high definition flat screens and gamble on the outcome.
In the next match, the stakes grow higher as Jason White (aka Ramses), the gladiatorial champion with over 500 kills to his credit, claims to have found God and refuses to fight. He is summarily blown to bits by snipers. After a moment of hushed shock, the bloodthirsty crowd cheers just as lustily for the assassination as they did for the gladiatorial combat.
In Lugo's world, the Constitution has been amended to allow the Games to satisfy the sadistic pleasures of the population. Big business, led by Marcus Powers, the world's richest man, has taken most of the power from the government, and the Earth seems headed for the end-times. It appears that the only ones competing with Powers are the bosses of organized crime.
While the author has a gift for pacing and description, portraying the gore of the battles in meticulous detail, the novel has two major faults. First, there's no protagonist with whom readers can empathize. Every character is a "bad guy"; some are just more evil than others. For the novel to join the ranks of the great apocalyptic stories such as Stephen King's The Stand, there has to be someone to root for. Second, Lugo introduces several plot elements that are never developed. (For example, Powers plans to run for president, but he never does.)
Still, in an age when video games celebrate violence for its own sake, a book that relies on graphic violence should find its niche. Readers who are solely interested in action may enjoy the novel, as Lugo displays considerable talent in this regard.

Review of EPAR's Research on Nutrition and Food Security
Type: Research Brief
This brief presents an overview of EPAR's previous research on nutrition and food security and outlines summaries and key findings from 15 technical reports and research briefs. Key findings are drawn from our own original analyses as well as from other sources, which are cited in the individual reports. We also include appendices briefly summarizing EPAR's research on health and climate change, topics somewhat related to nutrition and food security, and EPAR's confidential work on nutrition and food security.
Measuring Food Security
This four-part analysis describes the current suite of food security measures, then analyzes the respective relationships between food security and poverty, GDP, and crop yields using findings from in-depth literature reviews. Food security measures are criticized for inaccurately characterizing food security at individual, household, and national scales, yet guidelines exist to prescribe a food security measure for a given situation. Some authors see the potential of a combination of indicators that apply at different scales rather than a single, universal food security measure. Limited literature exists on the relationship between food security and poverty, GDP, or crop yields. The relationship between food security and poverty is particularly challenging because neither term has a consistent definition, and the limited literature suggests a lack of consensus among experts. Little empirical research exists on the relationship between food security and GDP, though studies generally note an association between the two Studies that evaluate food security and crop yields provide limited evidence that the two are associated, though many studies use measures of crop yield as food security indicators and vice versa. More research is needed to establish whether there are preferred food security measurement tools for specific scales and situations, and to further explore the relationship between food security and poverty, GDP, and crop yields.
G8 Food Security Initiative and Agricultural Research
On July 10, 2009 at the Italy G8 summit, attendees issued a joint statement pledging to contribute $20 billion towards agricultural development and food security in the developing world over the next three years. This research brief notes the status of the contributions made to the L'Aquila Food Security Initiative and whether any of the $20 billion will be allocated to agricultural research. We conclude that no declarations have been made as of September 2009 on how much of the $20 billion will be allocated to agricultural research, and which types of research will be funded by the initiative.
Calculating Hunger Prevalence
This brief presents an in depth analysis of the FAO's methodology behind their calculations for hunger. The analysis includes a review of the key assumptions made by the FAO in their calculations, critiques of their methodology, and recommendations for future research. The critiques include opinions from the literature on the subject as well as from the authors of the request.

Using DALYs to Assess Agricultural Interventions
This brief presents an initial examination of the possibility of using Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) as a way to evaluate agricultural interventions. We review DALYs, their formulation, and the data necessary to compute values. A review of relevant literature suggests that to use DALYs as an evaluative tool, an agricultural intervention must be tied to a specific disease, and from there, impacts on DALYs can be assessed.

One of my more popular posts on this site is a story I wrote about assembling the gifts I created for my students, that year. They usually land around the holidays but just like the holiday cards that Steve and I sometimes send, the arrival of these bundles drifted into February. This year, it was just as fun selecting the 2+ treats (cooling minty tea and spicy tahini bark) and a poem (thank you, rupi kaur: I love your books!), then getting a little crafty with the bundles.
This event and photo are as good a reason as any to resume posts to this website: thank you for hanging with me. And by "hanging" I mean I understand it's been nearly 6 months that I've left you, my readers, hanging. Even before that August post, I'd not been at it as regularly as before. This past year or two have been different. I'd love to say it was completely by design, but it wasn't. Or, at least, it wasn't by my design: the main activator was not having regular work: I had more time and also a more open mind to consider what would be the best use of my time. Job-hunting and a re-imagining of Working Me, were of course high on the list.
What's changed, aside from my less regular writing, here?
I've been doing a monthly yoga newsletter. For one year, this month! If you're curious, you can check it out and even sign up, here.
I'm still doing Toastmasters. In fact, with two different clubs! Not quite weekly with both, though. It's possible that some of my writing energy and time that normally would go into this blog is now going into a speech, every few weeks, instead.
I was mostly job-free for 14 months! That ended last April, and I've been enjoying the user experience research and design experience that Medtronic has allowed me during this contract. I'm grateful for the opportunity and hoping it continues!
The "job-free" situation didn't apply to my yoga teaching, which continued at my two-class per week commitment. Additionally, in October I completed a 20-month advanced certification course. I'm still trying to determine what this means, aside from the gradual evolution and improvement in the classes I teach, alignment and in a few other ways, and in my expanded network of yoga teachers and advocates. I'm hoping in the next year to teach a workshop and possibly also cut my first yoga instruction video. I do know that it means I continue to want to learn more.
There's at least one reason I enjoyed not having full-time work for a year: I got more fit. I was getting more regular movement and exercise in each day. It included working out (midday, midweek trail runs or bike rides) but also, more importantly, various house errands done by foot or by bike. As much as I'm enjoying the experience, my return to an 8-hour workday, or maybe the way I'm playing it, just isn't conducive to a healthy amount of movement, every day.
The icy streets and trails have encouraged a running hiatus for me: I've re-joined the rock climbing gym and that's been my main movement, a few times each week. It's plenty climbing but it's not enough movement throughout each day – so I'm looking for a solution while waiting for longer, brighter days to return so I can get outside for short walks, frequently.
I'm reading a lot more. Mostly because I joined a book club, a little over a year ago. I remember, in my 20s, wanting to read more, but struggling to find time to read a book, ever. Holding down various jobs, trying to keep a daily (and exhausting) exercise regimen, actively dating and also a commitment to a rugby, and then climbing, life: these didn't leave much time for reading. I ended up rationalizing it with this: I can read in retirement. The thing is, reading is a transportive and restorative activity. And I learn from books! I learn things I need to know now. So: I'm reading 2-3 books per month, on the average.
I'm so glad I joined a book club. I learn even more when I talk with other women who have recently read the book. And these women! Smart, affirming, full of heart and generally amazing.
My latest favorite books: Tayari Jones' An American Marriage. and Mario Giordano's Aunti Poldi and the Sicilian Lions.
Ski in rain? Or stay put with paper, crayons, beer and inspiration from a book about cephalopods?
A year ago my new year's resolution was to do more creating. It did not manifest in my completion of a knitted pair of socks, as hoped. But it did result in journals whose pages get filled each week! Filled with musings on books, speech ideas, now and then a Bullet Journal-style log of a week's plans or gratitudes, and above all: drawings on each. Above: evidence that I've gotten more confident in my illustrative skills. The 2-3 beers that afternoon helped, but the octo wasn't the only recognizable figure, on the table paper by the end of that rainy afternoon in the Methow Valley.
And so: some growth, this past year. Let it continue! Thank you.
Screw the forecast. It's sunny, things are electric green and I'm glistening today. Come to my yoga class tonight, 7:30pm at St. Paul Yoga Center! Let's warm things up in this wet, chilly, transforming season.
The closest thing to a Ruston Way meal I can find over in the heartland. City lights on gleaming expanse, big windows, a roomful of happy people and, of course, an amazing meal. Good start to my 50 week. Thx, @stephen.morman!! Love you.

(PLATE VI, p. 176) SECTION 1.—BOUNDARIES OF THE NEARCTIC REGION
With the Nearctic Region we enter upon a subject on which there has been a great deal of controversy among the students of geographical distribution. As was pointed out in the introductory article of this volume, a certain number of writers maintain that this Region does not contain a sufficient quantity of distinctive and indigenous forms to entitle it to separation from the Palæarctic Region. What should constitute a sufficient number of distinctive forms depends, of course, largely on the individual opinions of the writers, but if allowance be made for the undoubted similarities of the extreme northern parts of the Old and New Worlds, which together may be considered as forming a kind of intermediate district, the facts and figures given below will, we think, convince every one that the land-surfaces of the Palæarctic and Nearctic Regions have now, and have had in the past, quite sufficiently distinct faunas to warrant their division into two primary Regions.
The boundaries of the Nearctic Region are comparatively simple. They embrace the whole of North America as far as the southern limit of the tableland of Mexico, with which Greenland may be included. On either side of
the tableland of Mexico, the Neotropical Region extends as a narrow strip along the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific, as far north as the Rio Grande on the former coast, and to about Guaymas on the latter.
There are no islands of any importance belonging to this Region that need be mentioned here. The Pacific islands on the west coast of Mexico have few, if any, mammals. The large islands of Newfoundland and Vancouver are of the true continental type, being separated from the mainland only by quite shallow water. The Antilles, or West India islands, belong entirely to the Neotropical Region, and have been already considered in a previous chapter.
Section II.—GENERAL VIEW OF THE MAMMAL-FAUNA
OF THE NEARCTIC REGION
On referring to the table given at the end of the first chapter, it will be seen that the total number of genera, and also of species contained in the Nearctic Region, is considerably less than in any of the other Regions hitherto treated of. This may be explained partly by the fact that the whole of this Region is practically outside the tropics, whereas the other Regions previously described lie to a great extent within the tropical zone, which is very favourable to the development of a rich and varied fauna.
Out of the nine Orders into which the terrestrial Mammals have been divided, two only are not represented in this Region. These are the Primates, at the head of the list, and the Monotremes, at the extreme end, the latter being confined to the Australian Region. The Marsupials are represented by one species only, the well-known Virginian opossum (Fig. 29), which is found with slight modifications from the Southern States of North America
southwards over the greater part of South America. This animal would, perhaps, judging merely by the present distribution of life, be considered to have intruded into the Nearctic Region from South America, where alone members of this family still survive; but, on examining its past history, we ascertain that the genus Didelphys was formerly found both in Europe and in North America during Eocene and Miocene times, so that it is possible that the Virginian
opossum may be a survivor rather than an intruder in North America.
The next order, the Edentates, is represented in this


When it comes to skin care, everyone seems to have a different regimen to keep their faces looking healthy and glowing. From the face wash they use to the different masks they try, the world of skin care has endless options to try.
A daily routine is crucial to keep your skin looking and feeling healthy, but there are other skin care treatments that an esthetician can perform at your local spa to give your skin a deeper sense of rejuvenation. One of these skin care treatments is a chemical peel, and they vary in intensity depending on the results you're looking for.
A chemical peel is a process that works by "burning" the top layers of skin with a chemical solution. This will cause the layers to peel away, regenerating new layers of skin underneath faster. It removes dead skin cells from the outer layers to reveal newer, softer, and smoother skin underneath. Read more about the benefits of getting a chemical peel, and schedule an appointment for this skin care treatment today at Inner Beauty Concepts in Nashua.
If you have blotchy skin, it also tends to give you a dull complexion as well. This issue is not something that can clear up on its own, and over-the-counter skin care products won't completely do the job either. A chemical peel, though, is able to penetrate to deeper layers of skin and remove the darker skin, evening out the skin tone and brightening your overall complexion.
If you have fine lines and wrinkles on your face, it's more than likely sun damage from not wearing enough sunscreen. You can prevent further sun damage by wearing sunscreen regularly and sticking to your skin care routine, but you won't be able to eliminate the appearance of damage that's already been done. A chemical peel, however, quickly removes layers of skin that have been affected by sun damage and will give you skin a smoother, healthier appearance.
If you suffer from moderate or severe acne, a chemical peel is a great option for treating it. Lighter peels are best for acne-prone skin or sensitive skin and work to shed skin cells more quickly so pores have less time to become clogged. Chemical peels can also help reduce inflammation associated with acne. Over a few months of this skin care treatment, it can also help clear up acne scars.
Even if you don't have skin issues that you're trying to clear up, a chemical peel is a great way to keep your skin smooth and bright. Because it allows your skin cells to turn over faster and removes more dead skin cells, your complexion will be smoother and brighter with the newer skin cells. Certain peels will also help increase collagen production so your skin cells are stronger and more supple. Chemical peels also helps even skin tone so your skin looks healthier and more youthful.
Chemical peels are performed quickly. The process of applying the chemical peel and letting it sit doesn't take longer than 15–20 minutes. You'll be able to complete your appointment within an hour. The process also works quickly. It only takes one or two treatments before skin cells start to shed and turn over more quickly. You'll start to see results in a few days, with only a short amount of time during which your skin is peeling.
Maintaining a daily skin care routine is a great way to maintain and improve the health of your skin, but if you have certain skin issues or you're trying to see an improvement quickly, then a chemical peel could be the best option for you! Schedule a chemical peel or other skin care treatment today with Inner Beauty Concepts in Nashua.

Southern Comfort's Homecoming
January 16, 2016 April 4, 2018 Karen L. Cox1 Comment
Last week Kentucky-based Brown-Forman Corporation, which owns the Jack Daniels and Woodford Reserve brands, announced it is selling the Southern Comfort brand to the New Orleans-based Sazerac Company. Many will see this as a homecoming for Southern Comfort.
The original recipe for the whiskey-flavored liqueur is credited to a New Orleans bartender named Martin Wilkes Heron who created the concoction in 1874, which he named "Cuffs and Buttons." Heron later moved to Memphis where he began bottling his recipe in 1889, and renamed it "Southern Comfort."
SoCo, as it's often called, has stiff competition from flavored whiskeys and has seen a decline in sales in recent years. But it wasn't always the case.
Southern Comfort enjoyed a major boost in 1939 when it became one of several companies that tied their brands to the enormously successful film Gone with the Wind. In the case of SoCo, it was the creation of the "Scarlet O'Hara Cocktail."
The drink, made with cranberry juice and Southern Comfort with a squeeze of lime, was marketed as the "Grand Old Drink from the South." The then New York-based distributors of the brand suggested that customers "try it in a Scarlet O'Hara cocktail, but no more than two lest you be Gone with the Wind."
Because SoCo is sweet, it has long had the reputation of being more appealing to women. It was certainly a favorite of '60s rocker Janis Joplin.
So a few years ago, Southern Comfort sought to increase sales among men with the commercial called "Whatever's Comfortable."
While the commercial caught people's attention, it didn't draw much of a new male customer base.
It will be interesting to see what Sazerac does in its marketing of Southern Comfort now that it'll be back in the Crescent City. Personally, I'd recommend some heritage marketing that ties it back to the place where it all began.

Celebrating our Heritage 125 Years of Public Transport in Gl
2019 represents a milestone in Glasgow transport history as it marks 125 years since the tramways came into the ownership of Glasgow Corporation, the forerunner to today's Glasgow City Council. Glasgow had long had horse drawn buses but it was late to the scene when it came to motorbuses. The first examples entered service with Glasgow Corporation in 1924, more than 20 years after they'd first appeared in London. Of course, Glasgow focussed its urban transport needs on the much loved tramcar and this would be the case for more than 60 years. The main focus is the bus but trams, trolleybuses and the Subway are also well covered. While much of the book looks back, it comes right up to date with pictures of the latest developments in the First Glasgow fleet. It has been compiled by Phil Halewood drawing on the extensive collections of GVVT members and is packed with photographs, most of which have never been published.

I really enjoy being kind to others. You never know how a smile or a compliment can change someone's day or life. However, the test comes when others are not kind to you. The day I purchased this skirt I went into a store and sales person was rude but I didn't get upset because I try not to give things or people control over my life and feelings. I left that store and went to Ann Taylor and I left the negativity in the previous store. I realized I cant change people but I can control my attitude so I choose to be positive even in negative situations. we'll thanks for stopping by and we'll wishes!

This sample set of EdP from Imaginary Authors contains eight – 2ml. Samples are 2ml glass spray vials – with 50 half sprays each.
Great sampler set. Personal favorites are Cape Heartache, Memoirs of a Trespasser and Saint Julep. The packaging makes this a great gift to introduce a book lover in you're life to niche perfumery. There is nothing too animalic or dirty in the set to turn someone off from the hobby. Every Storm a Serenade being the only exception, it has notes of ambergris, though it is not too overpowering.
Imaginary Authors are advertised as unisex perfumes and I would agree with that. Some are definitely more feminine, such as Slow Explosions with the rose or Sundrunk with sweet neroli. Others like A City on Fire, a smokey woody scent, or The Cobra and the Canary with leather and asphalt notes lean to the more masculine side. I purchased one of these for myself(male) as well as one for my sister and we both enjoyed the scents.


When Henry and Olga first decided to make wine, they decided that they would never forgo quality for the sake of quantity. They decided that they would only make wines that they themselves would enjoy. If they didn't like it--they wouldn't sell it.
Henry spoke to his winemaker, Jay Buoncristiani, and told him the style of wines he enjoyed. They happened to be the complex and bold red wines that Napa Valley is known for, and so Patland's flagship wine became Cabernet Sauvignon. Even the Patland Rosé was made for the family's palate--thus the nickname "Red Winedrinker's Rosé." We've been lucky in finding that so many people agree with our tastes. We hope you will too!

Perspecta awarded $34M contract for US Army TAMIS system on AWS GovCloud
Government services provider Perspecta has received an award to continue work on the U.S. Army's Total Ammunition Management Information System (TAMIS). The award represents follow-on work for the company, and has a one-year base period with four, single-year option periods and a potential value of $34 million, Perspecta said in a statement.
TAMIS provides the Army with a mechanism for ammunition management activities by calculating ammunition requirements for training, combat and sustainment.
Using the system, operators forecast training and operational ammunition needs, validate and route requests for ammunition, collect expenditures and prepare reports. On the program, Perspecta will provide ongoing security, maintenance and management support of the real-time, web-based enterprise system on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) GovCloud, says Perspecta.
Perspecta has been supporting the TAMIS program since 2014, migrating the system to the cloud as a proof-of-concept first and then into full production, said the company in a statement.
