When a Scot Ties the Knot: Castles Ever After
Автор: Tessa Dare
Читает Carmen Rose
On the cusp of her first London season, Miss Madeline Gracechurch was shy, pretty, and talented with a drawing pencil, but hopelessly awkward with gentlemen. She was certain to be a dismal failure on the London marriage mart. So Maddie did what generations of shy, awkward young ladies have done: she invented a sweetheart.
A Scottish sweetheart. One who was handsome and honorable and devoted to her, but conveniently never around. Maddie poured her heart into writing the imaginary Captain MacKenzie letter after letter . . . and by pretending to be devastated when he was (not really) killed in battle, she managed to avoid the pressures of London society entirely.
Until years later, when this kilted Highland lover of her imaginings shows up in the flesh. The real Captain Logan MacKenzie arrives on her doorstep-handsome as anything, but not entirely honorable. He's wounded, jaded, in possession of her letters . . . and ready to make good on every promise Maddie never expected to keep.

I've already gotten on my soapbox about modern characters in historicals this week, so I'm just going to say, if you want to write a contemporary, feel free to do so. Anyway, I ended up liking this one more than I was anticipating, I've not had luck with this series previously. What sold it for me was the relationship between our two leads and hey, isn't that what we read these books for? They were ooey gooey sweet and my little girl princess happily ever after side quite enjoyed it. My cranky butt adult side noticed how it didn't really feel like a historical, the winks and nods to cliche scenes in romance books had more of a nervy tone than cheeky, and how the whole thing felt like the author was going through the motions. It almost seemed like Dare created a good romance despite herself. I would recommend this for individuals looking for a cute and light romance because like I said, this couple was cute.

My rating may be somewhat inflated based on loving the audiobook format, which is how I "read" this one. Great narrator, and the pacing was really good for me. I also very much loved the main characters! So complex and interesting. Not a whole lot of angst really (just a touch, but the MCs are both pretty confident so it was more nagging doubts than woe & grovelling). But still, I liked this quite a bit!

In this Regency Romance, Madeline Gracechurch creates a fictitious suitor, writing letters to a Captain Logan MacKenzie, on the presumption that the letters would end up in a dead letter bin somewhere. And, yes, you guessed it, there really is a Captain Logan MacKenzie! And he wants something that Madeline has... There are some funny lines; and wasn't as ludicrous as the first-in-series.

What a great premise for a romance! Maddie invents a fiance, a Scottish captain, who is conveniently at war so she doesn't have to produce him. She writes his letters for the imaginary warrior and goes into mourning when he dies a well-timed death. She even inherits a castle as a means to assuage her grief. She's shocked when Captain Logan McKenzie shows up on her doorstep ready to complete marriage vows. Logan only wants to use the bold English lass and her property to provide for his battle-weary men. He wasn't counting on falling in love with her.Maddie is painfully shy but a wonderful artist who does illustrations for naturalists. Logan grew up without any advantages and spent the last ten years at war. They don't have an instant connection and must work to let their romance grow by learning about each other. I liked that their love grew naturally without any scheming or ruses to further it along. It's a wonderful and charming love story of two people who don't think they suit each other, but find they are perfect for each other.

I love this Castles Ever After series!
What would you do if the letters you wrote to someone you made up actually found someone? Maddie desperately wants to avoid a debut into society. Painfully shy, she has done just that, and found her free pass. As time wears on and she needs to produce this imaginary hero, she decides to kill him off, a noble, hero's death. Imagine her surprise when he turns up on her doorstep years later!
For Logan MacKenzie, the letters give him focus. A ne'er do well, he finds a purpose, motivation to make something of himself in the eccentric rambling missives that are misdirected to him. And then she kills him off, as if his life hasn't followed that same pattern from the beginning, people abandoning him, leaving him. But he's not letting her off so easy. He takes his band of misfits determined to give THEM a home, even if he never finds one of his own.
Funny, spirited and touching, I loved this book (but then it's hard to ignore a determined Scot in a kilt). Highly recommended.

When a Scot Ties the Knot
Miss Madeline Gracechurch is pretty yet shy and uncomfortable around large numbers of people. To avoid the pressures of a social season, Maddie's only recourse is to invent a sweetheart - one who is handsome, honorable and very far away. Unfortunately for Maddie, her imaginary lover, Captain Logan Mackenzie, is all too real and expects Maddie to keep every one of the promises outlined in the letters that found their way to him.
Very disappointing. The basic setup has incredible potential, but is consistently undermined by weak characterization and a lack of chemistry between the romantic leads.
Logan is a war hero and an honorable man who cares about each and every man in his unit. Thus, the fact that he resorts to the morally questionable act of blackmailing Maddie into marriage undercuts his character and makes it difficult to empathize with him.
Maddie starts out as an intelligent and resilient heroine whose method of coping with her social anxiety is utterly ridiculous. It is virtually impossible to believe that her family would accept a fiancé whom they have never met. This is exacerbated by the fact that once Logan arrives, Maddie's apparent backbone melts away and she allows him to walk all over her.
The rest of the cast isn't much better. Logan's men are interchangeable, Maddie's family are non-existent and the sudden appearance of a villain makes no sense.
All in all, not one of Dare's better stories.

When a Scot Ties the Knot- Castles Ever After- by Tessa Dare is a 2015 Avon Publication.Tessa Dare does it again! What a terrific story. I laughed, I cried, got angry a few times, but closed with the book with a smile and a dreamy sigh. Madeline, at sixteen, wishes to avoid her first 'season', so she makes up a pretty tall tale about having met a Scottish Captain- Logan MacKenzie. She is betrothed to Logan, and stays true to him for many years, writing to him faithfully, until one day she decides this has gone on long enough and kills him off. But, to her utter shock, out the clear blue sky, a very real Logan MacKenzie shows up and insist he is the man Madeline has been writing to all these years and that he intends to marry her! Naturally, there is a catch. Logan needs Madeline's land for his men, and so blackmails her into marriage. But, Madeline, as mortified as she is, continues to postpone the consummation, frustrating Logan to no end. While determined to make the marriage valid, doing so without the emotional attachment that usually comes with that, is making things more and more complicated as time goes on. The more Madeline learns about Logan, the deeper she falls for him, but Logan is the most single minded man alive! Why does he deny his feelings for Madeline? Why is he still so angry with her for making a youthful mistake? Is the situation doomed or true love bring them to their senses? I loved both Madeline and Logan, so I wanted them to make it. Madeline is a person I could really relate to, as she suffers from social anxiety, and Logan will bring out all your nurturing instincts. But, I began to have my doubts as they continued to miscommunicate, misunderstand each other, argue, and hurt each other, although there were several very humorous predicaments too. But the sexual chemistry is certainly there and these two sure knew how to create tension. I loved the delayed gratification and the tantalizing build between this couple. It was almost perfect. I appreciated the authenticity, the wonderful Scottish Gaelic, the banter, humor, and awesome storytelling. This is a very sweet story with a heartwarming happily ever after.

This was my first Tessa Dare book, and I was absolutely enthralled and charmed by "When a Scot Ties the Knot"! Ms. Dare has excellent writing skills, infusing her characters with wit and emotion. I laughed out loud, I cried, I swooned.At the age of 16, as her first London season looms, Madeline Gracechurch invents an imaginary suitor, the dashing Captain Logan MacKenzie, in order to avoid her social obligations. She has no desire to marry, and invents someone who adores her but who is conveniently away at war. Maddie devotedly writes and mails him letters and then mourns his imaginary death when he is killed in battle. Throughout all of this, Maddie is pleased that she has managed to avoid all the social pressures of London society. Then a flesh-and-blood Captain Logan MacKenzie shows up on her doorstep nearly a decade later, very much alive, mysteriously in possession of all her letters, and determined to make Maddie keep all her promises, including marrying him. What is a shy, socially averse woman to do, especially after 10 years of deceiving her family and friends?I loved this premise and was curious as to how author Dare was going to make it work. I was absolutely delighted at the plot. The book has excellent character development; I just loved all the characters - not just the H and h, but also the secondary characters. Dare writes with the perfect balance of romance and sex, with just the right amount of conflict thrown in. I felt the tension without frustration, and it was a very satisfying ending.Now I'm going to read all of Tess Dare's other historical romance books. If they're all this good, I'll have a new favorite historical romance author!

This is the first book I've read by Tessa Dare, but it won't be the last. It was a fun book with a quirky heroine and a wounded hero. At sixteen, Maddie is set to be launched in Society, which terrifies her to no end. She is shy to the point of panic attacks and dreads the thought of all it entails. So instead, she invents a beau that she met and fell in love with, one who is a soldier away at war. To keep up the deception, she writes him letters, an effort that goes on for several years. Then, feeling guilty about the deception, she kills him off and goes off to mourn in private at the Scottish property she was given.Happy in her solitude, with just her aunt and her pet lobsters, working as a nature illustrator Maddie is stunned when an all too real Logan MacKenzie shows up. Not only does he have the letters she wrote, he insists that she marry him for real. If she doesn't, he will give the letters to the scandal sheets. Logan is a rough and gruff soldier who is accompanied by several of the men he served with. Though welcomed as heroes at war's end, they returned to Scotland to find their families dead or displaced by the same English whose war they just fought. Logan is determined to make a home for them, and the land of this English miss will do just fine. He doesn't expect to find someone very different than the spoiled debutante he believed her to be.What happened next was a boatload of fun. Maddie is independent and spunky, and not about to cave in easily. If she is going to marry him, he'll have to give a little also. I enjoyed the way their relationship developed. Maddie feels at a disadvantage at first, because she revealed so much of herself in the letters she wrote. But as a keen observer of nature, it didn't take long for her to see past Logan's shell to the man underneath. Their conversations were fun, as both are very intelligent and quick witted. I loved the way that they used quotes from the letters to ease the way into some of their conversations.Though they had agreed on a marriage of convenience, Maddie worried that she would fall in love with Logan. Logan is a man who has never known love and has no interest in it. All he claims to want is a place for him and his men. I loved seeing how Maddie starts to understand Logan and the fears he tries to hide. Though she really resists losing her heart to him, his kindness towards his men starts the crack in her determination. Then his understanding of her fear of crowds and the way he tries to help her finishes the job. I also loved the way she came to see his vulnerability. Though Logan initially came across as a less than pleasant man, I quickly changed my mind. I loved his devotion to his men and how determined he was to take care of them. It was fun to see his bewilderment as Maddie turned out to be different than he expected. I ached for him as more of his background was revealed, and I could see how much he needed Maddie's love. I also liked the way that he was so patient as the heat between them built. The ending was really sweet, as both of them had to let go of their fears before they could open their hearts to each other. I loved seeing Maddie take charge and go after what she wanted.The secondary characters were really good also. I loved Maddie's aunt, especially at the end when she had so much to say about their choices. Each of Logan's men had their own personality and role in the story. I loved their advice to Logan when they thought he was having trouble with Maddie.

Why does romance have such low standards of historical (or anything else) realism?This isn't a bad book, but it was spoilt for me on the first page. The heroine, in the early 1800s, living many miles from the sea, has a tank in which she keeps lobsters. Marine tanks are the devil to maintain even with modern equipment like water filters. The salinity has to be kept correct, as well as keeping the water clean. Without access to seawater to exchange the water every few days, our heroine's lobsters are doomed to an early death.That, plus access to ready to wear clothing about a century ahead of when it became available, greatly reduced my ability to believe in the rest of the story. Which is a shame, because the premise was an entertaining one.
kaethe_1Go to kaethe_1's profile
This book exemplifies what I enjoy so much about modern historical romances, as opposed to those of the mid-twentieth century. Most of the story is set in 1817. The romance is a forced-marriage plot between an English woman who now owns a Highland castle and a Scot, Captain Logan MacKenzie. It's not always played for laughs, but it is a comic set-up. Madeline Gracechurch is a woman with both a private income and work she loves, so she doesn't really have to marry him except to avoid some embarrassment, plus, he's handsome. But there's more to him. The Clearances have left some of his men with no home to return to, these are the ones who've suffered the worst injuries and the greatest personal losses. It's not as much of an anachronism as calling their trouble PTSD, but MacKenzie recognizes that these particular men will require more care of many kinds, and if marrying a pretty young woman is the easiest way to achieve it, well...
So there's a traditional sort of romance plotline, but the characters have rather more modern insight into the lives of those around them. It isn't enough to create a happy ending for just one couple: Dare is giving a happy ending to her whole group of characters, like Oprah, bestowing gifts on her audience: "Happy Endings for Everyone!"
Library copy
About the cover: this is why women love their electronic readers. I refuse to believe that the most popular genre of books is in any way inferior because it is by women for women. But I cannot take that book out of the house without blushing.

Summary Madeline Gracechurch, is talented and pretty, but is awkward in social situations. She suffers from panic attacks whenever she is around a big group of people. She knew that she could never survive the Ton, and the numerous parties and balls. So she concocts a story of being engaged to a soldier that she met in bath. She creates letters, and mails them knowing that the person she has created is not real. Its been five years and she has just informed everyone that he is dead so that she can move on with her life and get past the lies she has had to say. She has just been gifted a piece of land and a castle in Scotland. But then a stranger shows up on her front door and claimed to be her Scottish sweetheart, Captain Logan Mackenzie. Logan MacKenzie is determined to save his men. The men he fought for and battled with and when they returned home to have either their families killed or driven off by English Lords who took advantage while most of the men were away fighting their war. He has a group of men, who need a home and after receiving letters for five years…he knows just the place and Miss Madeline Gracechurch is the way…he will marry her and will have a home for his men, he owes them that much. But what beings as a practical arrangement, soon turns into something more real….zesty passion and true love.Plot and Story Line When A Scot Ties The Knot is a wonderful love story and I really loved the tangles and the web these two try to work their way towards. This is the third book in the series, but I have to say its probably my least favorite. Not to say that I didn't enjoy this book and how events play out, but for the first half I had a challenge getting myself into the story. It just didn't really connect with me, until I got about half way. Which was a bit disappointing, because I adore Tessa Dare, and this is the first time I have had such troubles getting into one of her books. But once I got halfway into the book, then I was hooked. I will say that there were quite a few memorable moments in this one. The soldiers that Logan has brought with him for one. I loved them all, they are all wounded in some form and have come home to learn that most of their loved ones are gone, their ship to Canada having been sunk. Logan even though he is forcing Maddie's hand, will do anything to provide a safe environment for them. I really admired that dedication and see how much he respects those men under him. But Logan isn't just any Captain…he worked hard to get to Captain when he started as a foot soldier. Logan has never known family or what it's like to love. So you see how he is very much out of his element when it comes to Maddie. Now Maddie, I truly wanted to like her character but had a hard time, especially in the beginning however I grew to like her as we learn more about her past and the reasons behind her shy nature. I liked how tenacious and stubborn she is, and quite the creative sort. She is super smart especially when it comes to animals and insects. And oh boy her pets….the two lobsters and the whole mating ritual, quite fascinating. I really enjoyed seeing these two battle it out at times. Both of them go into a bout of denial into what they feel for each other. But boy did this story have some lively scenes, and once these two started to open up to each other than it just came together quite well.I'd have to be dead in my grave before I stopped fighting for you, Madeline. Even then, I'd move six feet of earth to find a wayThe Cover It has such a sweet and romantic tone to it, with a hint of playfulness. I love the tone of colors, with the teal and pinks. And isn't that male just gorgeous….love a man in a kilt right? And with the added castle backdrop….simply gorgeous!Overall View When A Scot Ties The Knot is a charming love story that brings two souls together with a bout of surprises and romantic delights!!

Read for Review (Avon)Overall Rating: 5.00Story Rating: 5.00Character Rating: 5.00First Thought when Finished: When a Scot Ties the Knot by Tessa Dare just landed at the top of my favorite reads of 2015!Quick Thoughts: I will be rereading this one (listening actually )again. Such a fantastic read! Everything hits: Humor, Love, Romance, Sassy, Brassy, Smart, Clever, Swoon-worthy, and Emotional. I fell in love with almost everyone in this book. So much that I would like a spin-off series for the guys (someone make that happen). Maddie and Logan proved that there can be connection even when there isn't a "connection" (that will make more sense after you read it). I highly recommend this story.

This book has a really cute premise. A shy English girl, Madeleine, who is of age to enter the marriage market, invents a Scottish highland Captain/lover. She corresponds regularly with him for ten years before "killing him off" in a battle. She goes into mourning in a remote Scottish castle and is astonished when the "dead" captain, Logan MacKenzie, turns up at her door one day to claim his bride, her letters in-hand. After that, all of the action centers around him bedding her, and it is quite graphic. So, it starts uniquely and ends up in a standard fashion for a mass-market paperback.

Painfully shy, academically inclined Madeline Gracechurch dreads her first season, so she invents a Scotsman she "met" while at finishing school in Brighton and who subsequently proposed to her. She uses the existence of this suitor, Captain Logan MacKenzie, to convince her parents that she needn't attend the season and keeps up the fiction of MacKenzie by writing him letters and pretending she's receiving letters from him from the front in France for years. Eventually she claims he's been killed, goes into mourning, and retires to a castle in Scotland gifted to her by her godfather to pursue a quiet life as an illustrator. But one day, a real Scotsman named Captain Logan MacKenzie shows up, determined that they will marry. The story then follows Maddie and Logan as they navigate their desires for their lives and begin to fall in love. Fun, funny, and sweet.

DUE to the ongoing armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the government of Hungary has waived its Schengen visa requirement to allow Nigerians with Ukrainian resident permits entry, either on transit to Nigeria, or to temporarily reside in the country.
This was contained in a travel advisory released by the Nigerian Embassy in Budapest on Sunday, as part of arrangements by the Nigerian government to evacuate its citizens from Ukraine.

"Affected Nigerian nationals wishing to be admitted into Hungary are advised to have their travel documents (valid Nigerian passport and Ukraine resident permit) with some money in Euros, and cooperate with the Hungarian border authorities.
"Nigerian nationals are also advised to send their names, phone numbers, email addresses and copy of their passport biodata page to the Embassy's consular email secretary@nigerianembassy.hu, to enable the facilitation of the aforementioned arrangements," the Embassy said.
Schengen refers to the EU passport-free zone that covers most of the European countries and a Schengen visa is a short-stay visa that allows a person to travel to any member of the Schengen Area, staying up to 90 days for tourism or business purposes.
Earlier, there had been reports that Nigerians and other Africans crossing into countries bordering Ukraine, especially the Polish border, were denied access.
On Saturday, a frustrated medical student at the Poland/Ukraine border said she had been waiting for over seven hours to cross the border, and that Ukrainian soldiers were prioritising their citizens and preventing Africans from crossing into Poland.
Confirming this position on Sunday, the Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Gabriel Aduda said that efforts were ongoing to alleviate the sufferings of Nigerians, including deploying the International Organisation for Migration to the border to ensure easier access to all Nigerians and other nationals.
"For now, movement to the Hungarian Zahony border and Romanian Suceava, Tulcea, Satu Mare County and Maramures borders is advised, as they have approved visa free access to all Nigerians coming from Ukraine and arrangements for accommodation and feeding before evacuation is arranged," Aduda said.
As at Sunday evening, a video taken in one of the three shelters provided showed many persons fleeing Ukraine, including Africans, trying to settle in as they were being welcomed and provided with foods, drinks and beds to sleep.
Aduda urged parents, guardians and wards of Nigerians in Ukraine to remain calm as the ministry continued to perfect plans to get them to safety.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian capital Kyiv remains in government hands amidst a Russian onslaught that has killed over 200 Ukrainians so far and the UN says more than 120,000 have fled the country in the past 48 hours.

Birger Nordholm devoted his career to the promotion of tourism and international relations between Sweden, the United States and Europe. During Nordholm's lifetime, tourism in Sweden expanded into one of the nation's main revenue source, and Nordholm was a keen promoter of its transatlantic development.

Nordholm initiated and headed the Swedish National Tourist Office 1921–1963, located in the Rockefeller Center in New York City, United States. He went on to serve as Managing Director for the Swedish State Railways Travel Information Agency as well as the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce in New York City, and was a lifelong member of the Scandinavian Travel Commission.

After World War II, as part of the Marshall Plan, Nordholm was appointed the initial Chairman (1949–1958) of the European Travel Commission by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. In addition, he was appointed President of the Conference of European Railroad Representatives.

Following the simplification of visa regulations, customs procedures, and other formalities, as expressed in a 1952 edition of the This Week magazine, Birger Nordholm together with Arthur Haulot foregrounded the "purposeful" and "educational" dimension of "a new type of tourism" that would be "the foundation of lasting peace". This would eventually contribute to the development of the OECD Tourism Committee.

Nordholm's residences in New York City and Weston, Connecticut, would become centers of international festivities, including annual Midsummer celebrations held at his country house "Tuckaway", attended by ambassadors, consular heads, the press, Miss Sweden and other dignitaries, as well as friends and neighbours, and Nordholm became a well-known international speaker.

He died in 1989 in Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina, United States, with ashes buried at his country house "Tuckaway" in Connecticut.

Charities

Birger Nordholm promoted philanthropy to various international charities, such as to the humanitarian aid organization Finnish Relief Fund with purpose to assist civilians of Finland during the Winter War of World War II. He assisted cultural institutions such as the American Museum of Natural History, and was a member of the Swedish Pioneer Historical Society, and the American Swedish Historical Foundation behind the American Swedish Historical Museum.

Nordholm was also a "Founding Father" and "skålleage" of the North American charter of the Skål International in New York City on 1 April 1938, with the objective to "develop true friendship and common purpose among members of the tourist industry; through tourism, to promote mutual understanding and foster goodwill between the peoples of the world."

The Birger Nordholm Foundation (Swedish: Birger Nordholms stiftelse) was posthumously established at his former secondary school Östra Real in Östermalm, Stockholm. Maintained by the Alumni Association of the school of which Nordholm was a lifelong member, it awards students who have "demonstrated a good and exemplary companionship or else by significant efforts have shown great interest in the school and its activities."

Man Utd chief Ed Woodward has big transfer problem only the Glazers can solve
Manchester United chief Ed Woodward must find a way to lessen Joel Glazer's resolve. As things stand, it's the Red Devils' owners who are holding up a deal that would take Jadon Sancho to Old Trafford. And while Woodward gets plenty of flak, things regarding this deal aren't necessarily his fault.
Woodward is a divisive figure among Manchester United fans.
Many blame him for the club's tumble down the footballing pyramid in the years since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement, with the club going seven years and counting without the Premier League title.
Many supporters also accuse him of being under the Glazers' spell.
After all, they own United and Woodward is an employee.
But so too is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Mike Phelan. Everybody follows orders from somebody else but, at the end of the day, it's the Americans with the power at the club. Woodward may be in their good books but he's no different to the rest.
And as things stand, it's they who are holding up the Sancho deal. Joel Glazer, specifically.
This was revealed by The Athletic last month. It was explained that Joel feels big-money signings at the current time would be insensitive, regardless of the club's Premier League rivals strengthening around them.
In fairness, the Glazers have pumped plenty of money into the club when it comes to signings – albeit with some balancing of the books going on as well.
They recruited Angel Di Maria, Daley Blind, Marcos Rojo, Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw in the summer of 2014, as well as landing Radamel Falcao on loan.
A year later, United spent to sign Morgan Schneiderlin, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Anthony Martial and Memphis Depay.
And, under Jose Mourinho, the Red Devils spent big on players such as Paul Pogba, Fred, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly.
But Joel is a stubborn character.
He famously turned Mourinho down when he tried to offload Martial to Inter Milan, telling the current Tottenham boss that the France international was the club's very own version of Pele.
And that means that Woodward may have his work cut out when it comes to convincing them to cough up the full £108million that Dortmund want for Sancho.
Make no mistake about it, the club want him. Solskjaer wants him. And Woodward, like the Norwegian, feels he's a player worth investing in – which is why he's spent so much time negotiating.
For the United chief, it's he who will get the criticism if the 20-year-old stays at Dortmund.
But he needs the Glazers, and Joel specifically, to budge on their current stance.
If United don't land Sancho, anybody else recruited for the right wing will feel like a disappointment from the get go.
They'd also have to contend with a year of transfer rumours. If United don't sign Sancho this summer, it's inevitable they'll try and try again until the player either signs or he becomes out of reach.
So Woodward must do his utmost to convince the Glazers into softening their stance. If not, he'll be the fall guy – and another season of underachievement may await.

According to estimates from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 100 million Americans have diabetes or prediabetes. If you're concerned about diabetes, make an appointment with the expert physicians at Apex Medical Professionals in Fair Lawn, New Jersey. Walid Elkhalili, MD, and the team have extensive experience in diagnosing and treating diabetes and can help you improve your health and well-being. Call Apex Medical Professionals today or schedule an appointment online.
Diabetes affects the way your body processes sugar and transforms it into energy. There are three prevalent types of diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is also known as juvenile diabetes, as it's usually diagnosed during childhood. Type 1 diabetes develops when your pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin to manage your glucose levels.
Type 2 diabetes is also called insulin resistance. It usually develops later in life because your body doesn't use insulin correctly to control your blood sugar. While your family medical history contributes to your risk of Type 2 diabetes, your diet and other lifestyle factors influence the development of this form of the disease.
Gestational diabetes is another common form of the disease that affects pregnant women, usually starting in their second trimester.
Diabetes causes a variety of disruptive and dangerous health conditions, including neuropathy, swelling, high blood pressure, glaucoma, and ulcerated wounds. If left untreated, diabetes can lead to premature death. Diabetic neuropathy is also a leading cause of amputations.
Different classifications of diabetes have different causes. For example, Type 1 diabetes is genetic, meaning it's often passed from parents to children. It's believed to be caused by an immune system malfunction that causes your body to destroy the insulin-producing cells in your pancreas.
Gestational diabetes develops because the placenta produces a hormone that disrupts the effects of insulin.
How is diabetes treated and managed?
The doctors at Apex Medical Professionals provide treatment specific to your type of diabetes and your needs. For example, if you have Type 1 diabetes, your doctor prescribes insulin to replace what your body isn't producing.
Type 2 and gestational diabetes are often controlled with changes to your diet and exercise habits. Your doctor can help you develop a new meal plan with plenty of delicious and fulfilling sugar-free options to reduce the amount of sugar your body needs to process.
Also, if you take a brief walk after meals, the exercise helps your body convert blood sugar to energy more efficiently. These changes can also help you lose weight, which is known to improve your overall health outcomes.
If diet and exercise aren't enough to control your diabetes, your doctor can prescribe insulin or other medications to regulate your blood sugar levels.
Call Apex Medical Professionals today or book an appointment online for expert diabetes management and care.

Vijay asks fans to ignore negativity
Tamil superstar Vijay, who is busy shooting for upcoming film "Mersal", has asked his fans to flush negativity out of their lives.
Speaking at the audio launch of "Mersal" here on Sunday, Vijay asked his fans to "ignore" negativity around them.
"I'm always asked how to deal with negativity. Just ignore. Our lives will be much better," Vijay told reporters here.
He further told his fans whom he described as his everything: "Two things decide the fate of a person. His determination when he has nothing; his attitude when he has everything".
The event was organised to commemorate 25th year of Vijay and double Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman, who has composed music for "Mersal".
Talking about his collaboration with Rahman, Vijay said: "I feel lucky and proud to be associated with Rahman sir in his 25th year in the industry."
Rahman mesmerized audiences with a live performance. He played songs from the film, which has been directed by Atlee.
"I can't believe it's been 25 years. It still feels like my first year. I'm thrilled I am playing music to a whole new generation," Rahman said, pointing at thousands of fans who had come for the event.
Rahman said the lines of the song "Aalaporan Tamizhan" from "Mersal" inspire everybody.
"The song is about humility and how we treat women. I hope the lyrics inspires each and every one of you," he added.
Atlee, having teamed up with Vijay for the second time, used the occasion to heap praise on the stars commitment.
"I was literally moved to tears by Vijay sir's effort to satisfy his fans. We shot a sequence with 3000 extra in Rajasthan, and Vijay sir worked with so much dedication. The experience of working with him was incredible," he said.
Produced by Sri Thenandal Films, "Mersal" is slated for Diwali release.
The film also stars Kajal Aggarwal, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Nithya Menen and SJ Suryah.
Vijay plays a triple role in the film.

This post was published by the Microsoft Azure team on behalf of Michael Donlan, Vice President, U.S. State and Local Government, Microsoft.
Law enforcement agencies are under mounting pressure to keep communities safe, reduce crime, and improve responsiveness. This week, law enforcement leaders and solution providers are gathering at the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) conference to share insights and strategies for leveraging technology to meet these challenges. The cloud can deliver powerful new capabilities for law enforcement, including digital evidence management, data analysis, and real-time decision support – with solutions delivered on the latest ruggedized mobile devices.
Microsoft is a technology leader for law enforcement organizations with a deep commitment to supporting the critical security standards that agencies around the world must meet. Security and trust in a mobile first, cloud first world matter. Azure Government, a trusted cloud platform dedicated to U.S. federal, state, and local government agencies, is gaining momentum with law enforcement leaders and the solutions they rely on.
A prime example of this momentum can be seen in today's announcement that Microsoft and TASER have launched an exciting new partnership that will bring together the two companies' global scale, technology expertise, and shared commitment to law enforcement. TASER will integrate their Evidence.com solution and Axon camera systems with the Microsoft Azure cloud platform and Windows 10 devices, providing a connected approach for capturing, analyzing, and archiving video and other data to help improve effectiveness and transform operations.
Officers will be able to securely capture, store, and manage digital evidence through a trusted cloud platform that connects each part of the investigation process and streamlines operations from beginning to end. Microsoft Azure will also power next-generation analytics and collaboration with stakeholders throughout the criminal justice system.
From the device to the cloud, Microsoft puts privacy and security of information first, all while increasing productivity for officers in the field and throughout the department. Having highly secure, ruggedized devices with anytime, anywhere access to the cloud means that law enforcement agencies can contribute to ongoing investigations, analyze data, manage evidence, and help protect citizens from imminent threats.
With more than 30 certifications and attestations across Azure and Azure Government, Microsoft meets the most stringent compliance standards in the world and is the only hyper-scale cloud provider in the U.S. that has contractually committed to the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services Security Policy (CJIS). This is one of the primary reasons why agencies like the Los Angeles Police Department, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, the Memphis Police Department, and the Oakland Police Department have chosen solutions built on Microsoft Azure Government.
Panasonic is another global platform company that recognizes the benefit in partnering with Microsoft Azure as its Panasonic Arbitrator now offers in-car and body-worn cameras that use Azure Government for secure cloud deployments. Capturing, analyzing, and archiving video data is becoming more important than ever in the public sector, as agencies depend on their technology every day to help keep their citizens safe. Panasonic's news of extending its platform onto Azure is a benefit to our joint customers, helping them to be more responsive, productive, and effective.
NC4, which launched its StreetSmart solution that takes advantage of the security and scale of Azure Government to accelerate law enforcement collaboration.
Motorola, which is launching its new Si500 video speaker microphone along with the Command Central Vault digital evidence management solution on Azure Government.
MORPHO, which announced its Morpho Cloud, a multi-biometric solution for criminal investigators—including its Automated Fingerprint Identification System—that is hosted on Azure Government.
Getac/IRSA, which is delivering world-class in-car video and body worn camera solutions with comprehensive digital evidence management and analytics deployed on Azure Government.
VIEVU, which launched its new LE4 and LE4mini cameras along with the VIEVU Solution – a secure video management solution built on Azure Government.
Microsoft is proud to be at the IACP 2015 conference in Chicago this week to discuss the latest innovations made possible with our industry-leading partnerships in law enforcement. Visit our booth, #5211, and see where law enforcement technology is going next.

Nokia Will Use a Three Operating System Strategy
September 4, 2009 by Ed Hardy Reads (9,856)
The devices Nokia has unveiled in the last week are an indication of its strategy going forward. It intends to make products running Symbian, Maemo, and Windows — with each OS being used for a different segment of the market.
Jonas Geust, who is VP in charge of Nokia's N-series, told DigiTimes that his company will put its Linux-based Maemo OS on high-end products. An example of this is the Nokia N900, a smartphone that was unveiled a few days ago.
Nokia will continue to use Symbian on its "mass-market" models, such as the recently-announced Nokia X6 and X3.
And this company recently broke into the netbook market where it will use Microsoft Windows. Its first example of this is the Booklet 3G, which is expected to hit the market later this year.
Just These Three
Geust also made it clear that Nokia believes that these are all the operating systems it needs to provide product diversity, and has no plans to add any more.
This is likely an attempt to squash rumors that this company is going to put out devices running Google's Android OS.

United Autosports are thrilled to confirm that Will Owen will return to the team for the 2022 FIA World Endurance Championship and the 2022 Rolex 24 At Daytona.
Will first joined the team in 2017 as they made their LMP2 debut in the European Le Mans Series. That year, Will finished second in the championship standings after scoring two wins and three podiums, as well as finishing fourth at the prestigious Le Mans 24 Hours. In 2018, Will returned to the team for the ELMS as well as entering the Rolex 24 At Daytona, where he finished fourth. Will returned for both the 2019 and 2020 ELMS seasons, before he decided to take some time away from racing.
In 2022, Will returns to the team to campaign his first full season of the FIA World Endurance Championship, racing alongside Phil Hanson and Filipe Albuquerque as the team enters their third season of the championship. Will shall also be racing in the Rolex 24 At Daytona alongside Jim McGuire, Guy Smith and Phil Hanson in the #22 Oreca 07.
The 2022 FIA World Endurance Championship starts at Sebring in March, before visiting Spa, Le Mans, Monza, Fuji and Bahrain. The 2022 Rolex 24 At Daytona will take place on 29-30 January, with the ROAR before the 24 being held the week before on 22-23 January.
Will Owen
"I am overjoyed to be returning to racing and to be back with United Autosports. The opportunity to race in the full WEC season with Filipe and Phil is a special opportunity, and I am so grateful that it has come to fruition. It also gives me a lot of confidence that I will be driving with two very experienced teammates, and a team that has continued to grow and achieve great results. I am also excited to be returning to the Rolex 24 at Daytona too. We have a great line-up with Jim, Phil, and Guy, and I think we are really going to enjoy working together. The first time I competed in this race was in 2018 with United Autosports where we finished fourth. I have learned so much since then and can't wait to return for a chance at a Rolex.
"Taking a year off from racing was a good decision, and it has allowed me to see a lot of things with a new perspective. I respect the challenge of getting back up to speed since I have not driven in a year, but I believe that once I do, I will be the best I have ever been. This Winter I will have a lot of work to do to get back into driving mode for Daytona, but I am excited by the challenge and also happy that I am working with United again."
"I'm so pleased to have Will re-join the team for the 2022 WEC season and Daytona. He was an integral part of our LMP2 team from the word go, so to have him return is brilliant news. I'm excited to see how he gets on at both Daytona and in WEC."
Richard Dean
"I'm delighted to welcome Will back to the team for the 2022 24 Hours of Daytona and the 2022 WEC season. We were very sad when he decided to move away from racing at the end of the 2020 season, so we are so pleased he has decided to return once again. We love having Will as part of the team, not only is he a fast driver, but he is a pleasure to have around the team too. I'm excited to see his partnership with Phil and Filipe in WEC evolve, as well as seeing him back at Daytona too with Jim, Guy and Phil."

Today, I want to continue with the thought of 2012 being the year of Unceasing Fruitfulness. It is certainly a word which has resonated with me and it is one, which, it seems, has resonated with many Christians as well.
In his New Year's message, Joseph Prince shared the key to unceasing fruitfulness by cross-referencing Jeremiah 17:5-8 with Psalm 1.
The key is to meditate on the Word of God. Prince shared the thought that to "meditate" was to "mutter under one's breath"; to keep the Word of God on our lips.
I want to bring this thought into the context of apostolic worship.
I believe that true worship transforms the worshipper. This happens in a number of ways. It is true that encountering God exposes our own sinfulness and convicts us to change. It is also true that we become like who (or what) we worship. But worship also transforms us, often not in a sudden, electrifying moment, but through a gradual process. This is where I think Biblical meditation and worship through singing intersect.
I remember many years ago, Integrity Music released Scripture Memory songs, Scripture set verbatim to music. It was a powerful and effective way to memorise Scripture. This is in fact how I memorised Romans 8:1 ("There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus…" – sing with me if you remember this song!) It's actually a shame that not more worship songs these days record Scripture in this way.
Almost unconsciously, I am declaring the favour of God over my life! The power of music is not just to play over in our minds, but also to bypass our minds and affect our emotions. In fact, when coupled with the gestures of worship (such as bowing, dancing, lifted hands), it becomes a way we love God with our heart, mind, soul and strength.
So one way we can meditate day and night is to let the songs of the Lord ring in our hearts, increasing our faith to believe God for His will to be done in our lives.
It is therefore not surprising that the psalmist is also a prophet. The songs are forthtelling – bringing the future Will of God into our present.
As we begin 2012, my prayer for you is that in your life, God's Word will not return to Him void. It will accomplish His will in your life. It will surely succeed. His Word transforms the desert, and His Word will transform You. May His Word water the soil of your heart and bring forth unceasing fruitfulness (and not only that, but also increasing fruitfulness) in 2012.

IoT and edge computing: Better and faster
Given the explosion of volumes of data produced by Connected Objects, and latency in the transport, storage and treatment of these data, Edge Computing offers a proximity-to-infrastructure approach that enhances the performance of the IoT...
What does the connected future have in store?
By 2025, 150 billion objects will be connected and will form the Internet of Things (IoT) worldwide (1). Most of these objects will produce data in real time, representing 30% of the datasphere. And this one-upmanship won't be caused just by machines. Instead, every single one of us will be connected, producing an average of 4 900 times the current amount of data every day, i.e. one digital interaction every 18 seconds!
Whether in industrial environments, with the revolution of Industry 4.0, in the world that hosts us (smart cities and smart buildings), in our cars that will be connected before they become autonomous, or in our daily personal lives with our smartphones and e-health, the IoT and connected objects will be ubiquitous. The result will be an explosion of data volumes in environments that are currently far from being able to support them.
We're already wondering how the capacity of our information systems (IS) will be able to bear this data overload. Our legacy of centralised IT, located physically within companies, hosted by partners or in the public cloud, is not suited to handling and processing connected data. Furthermore, the infrastructures supporting, transporting and processing IoT data are already struggling with bottlenecks and latency issues. Latency, however, is not compatible with the other phenomenon associated to the IoT: real time.
But what is Edge Computing?
In its study, IDC uses an interesting representation of the spread of data, from 'endpoints' (users, cell phones, computers, API, IoT, vehicles, etc.) to the 'core' (heart) of corporate IT (data centres, private cloud and public cloud), and vice versa. Between these two extreme layers is an intermediate one, called the Edge which is located on the outskirts of the IT core or its uses. With respect to the world of the IoT, which is directly concerned, the core is the datacentre or cloud infrastructure made available to data to store and analyse it; and the endpoints are sensors and connected and "intelligent" things. Between the two are communication tools, the network infrastructure and the Internet, which transport the data. The core is on a specific point of the planet, while the endpoints are everywhere. This explains the latencies and data transport and processing times!
With Edge Computing, data storage and processing capacities are placed in the intermediate layer. In concrete terms, this means installing or using proximity relays, including the cloud of local operators or micro-datacentres, with data storage capacity and analysis of the data transmitted. Thus, part of the functions proposed by the 'core' are delocalised to the edge of the IoT. They can, for example, analyse the data that is circulating and ignore the mass of data that are of no interest (messages indicating sensor operation are of no interest, unlike the rare incident, error, overload, etc. messages) and transmit only data with value for their processing in the core, which reduces significantly bandwidth. Or, analytics or AI (Artificial Intelligence) processing can be applied locally, to produce information in quasi real time.

Much of the build-up focused on Chelsea star Hazard due to the significance of becoming only the third Belgian to reach a century of caps and he did not disappoint, leading the way as Belgium added to Thursday's 3-1 win over Russia.
The visitors never looked in danger of relinquishing their lead as Roberto Martinez's men secured an early three-point cushion at the top of Group I.
Martinez's side seemed to play within themselves thereafter, failing to offer much urgency or killer instinct in the final third.
Dries Mertens was without doubt the quietest of Belgium's attacking unit, having precious little impact in the first half. He was unsurprisingly withdrawn just before the hour.

EP 53: Eddie Cruz of Undefeated: You have to stand for something
Eddie Cruz is a true innovator. He's also the co-founder of one of our favorite brands. Undefeated was the first to bridge the gap between athletic apparel and streetwear. In doing so, the brand not only created a global opportunity for itself — 10 stores and counting — but also helped to further the evolution of the genre, including an increasing number of collaborations between upstart streetwear designers and the behemoth sneaker manufacturers. Eddie drops by the studio with Adam Weissman of Stüssy and the band Pollyn (Adam also joined us with Roy Cho in studio) to give us some insight into his path to entrepreneurship. The big lesson: He wasn't content to follow the path that was laid out for him. So he forged his own, and stuck very close to the streets along the way. Learn all about it, as well as Eddie's near miss at a music career and what's next for Undefeated, in today's episode.

Are you considering nursing programs in New York? No shortage of great options exist in the state for sure, but not all are in the city. You may be surprised to find many great options in Central New York, especially if you're interested in fast-tracking your career change with an accelerated nursing program.
One of them is Utica College's Accelerated Bachelor's of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program in Syracuse, New York, a four-hour drive from New York City.
Moving to Central NY for nursing school may seem like a bit of a trek — and culture shock — especially if you're used to the fast pace of the city. But relocating to the Syracuse-Liverpool area for nursing school has its advantages.
Read on to learn why you should consider moving to Central NY for nursing school.
A sample page from the free relocation guide.
Like the rest of the region, the Syracuse metro area is affordable and convenient. That's why it's the perfect destination for nursing students on a budget, especially when it comes to housing compared to New York City.
On an index of 100, the average cost of living in Syracuse is 83, meaning it's about 17 percent cheaper to live here compared to the rest of the country, based on research from Sperling's Best Places.
Why wait to start your nursing journey when you're ready to become a nurse now? Because Utica College's accelerated nursing program, called UticaABSN, is a 16-month program, offers three start dates per year and has a rolling admissions process, we currently have no waitlist for admission for qualified applicants.
Don't have all your nursing school prerequisite courses completed? No worries! Our dedicated team of admission representatives can help you determine if you qualify for early admission through our Prerequisite Priority (PREP) program.
No doubt, accelerated nursing school is a grind no matter where you choose to pursue your B.S. in Nursing. We're not saying you won't have time to do anything else but study while continuing your education, but choosing an ABSN program in a locale a bit removed from busy city life has its benefits.
That's something that stuck out to UticaABSN alumna Jill, who before nursing school studied education and coached Division I ice hockey at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
For her, Syracuse offered just the right mix of entertainment and dining venues, outdoor areas for hiking and places to take in local sporting events when she needed a break from her studies.
Of course, your time as a nursing student won't be all work and no play. The Utica College ABSN program site in Syracuse boasts pockets of historical charm in the form of restored downtown districts and modern shopping hotspots, dining options and cultural attractions, so you'll have plenty of places to relax.
Onondaga Lake Park, dubbed "The Central Park of Central New York." It includes a dog park, 16,000-square-foot skate park and a 7.5-mile linear greenway with four trails.
Lakeview Amphitheater, a live performance venue that stages all the national recording artists who make tour stops in town.
Destiny USA, the state's largest mall that is also an indoor entertainment complex. It houses more than 250 stores, a hotel, world-class restaurants and the world's largest suspended ropes course.
Armory Square, once the city's warehouse district that today features specialty restaurants, boutique shops and hip entertainment venues.
UticaABSN's blended curriculum involves both online and on-site components, which means if you're not already local to the Syracuse-Liverpool area, part of your nursing journey will involve moving to central NY.
We understand making the decision to change careers to nursing AND relocating to do so can seem stressful. That's why we make available a set of relocation resources, including a free relocation guide for those unfamiliar with the Syracuse-Liverpool area.
Download your free guide to relocating to Central NY for nursing school.
A relocation specialist who will identify properties that match your criteria then schedule appointments for you to view these living spaces.
A list of apartments in the area that offer 16-month leases to keep you from worrying about renewing your lease after 12 months or paying month-to-month fees.
Just as the '80s sitcom "Cheers" theme song proclaims, everyone in the Utica ABSN program really will know your name. Take UticaABSN alumnus Lester's experience as an example.
He enrolled as a second-degree student after attending a larger four-year university. Since nursing was a new venture for him, he sought an ABSN program with a supportive environment to help him navigate his nursing journey. He found one at Utica College's ABSN learning site in Syracuse.

The demand for your skills will be high in Central New York over the next decade. As with the rest of the nation, advancements in technology, an aging population and increasing life expectancy (at birth) are slated to drive the demand for skilled nursing jobs in Central New York over the next several years.
Not to mention the area is friendly to hiring recent nursing grads, so you'll have a good chance of landing a job in the region once you become a licensed nurse.
"I want to go to nurse anesthetist school in a few years, but you need to work in an intensive care unit. I'm from the city, and a lot of hospitals there don't hire new grads. Here, they do hire new grads into the ICU," Lester says.
If you're ready to get moving on your future career as a nurse, moving to central NY may make sense for you. Our dedicated admission representatives can help you navigate the process of applying to the Utica College ABSN program in Syracuse — reach out to one today to get started.


Headphone/microphone giant Sennheiser and Apogee Electronics, an industry leader in digital audio conversion technology, today announced their intention to collaborate.
The companies say details about the collaboration will be revealed at a later date.
Yesterday, Sennheiser launched the Evolution Wireless D1, a range of digital wireless microphone systems designed to easily allow musicians to go wireless. With systems for vocals and instruments, transmitters and receivers automatically pair and select suitable transmission frequencies, while multiple D1 systems can automatically coordinate themselves.
The D1, which uses the aptX Live codec, operates in the licence-free 2.4 GHz range.
"D1 instantly readies you for making music and takes the complexity out of wireless," commented Martin Fischer, product manager at Sennheiser.
Chesney Hawkes was at Sennheiser's stand for the launch (left, main picture), which also saw the company roll out a contest to find the ultimate cover of The One and Only. Are you The D1 and Only?

I have a wonderful and easy recipe for an all-natural raspberry cheek stain that is made with freeze-dried raspberries. You are going to love, love, love this recipe!!! It gives your cheeks a beautiful rosy glow and smells like fresh picked roses with the addition of some Bularian Rose essential oil from Mountain Rose Herbs.
Start out with 1 heaping tablespoon of organic freeze-dried raspberries. Place them into a mortar and pestle.
Grind the raspberries into a fine powder.
You will have some raspberry seeds mixed in with the fine powder that you will want to sift out.
I used a tea strainer to separate the powder from the seeds. Discard or compost the seeds.
You will have a heaping teaspoon of the ground raspberry powder.
Add the raspberry powder into a small shot glass.
Add one tablespoon of 151 proof grain alcohol to the raspberry powder. Mix well.
Drizzle in 1/4 teaspoon of castor oil. This will help to prevent the alcohol from drying out your skin when applied. Plus, it imparts a subtle rosy glow to your cheeks. Stir well and cover the shot glass with a coaster to prevent the alcohol from evaporating. Let it sit for at least an hour. Strain the liquid through a small coffee filter or muslin cloth into another clean shot glass.
Add in one drop of Bulgarian Rose essential oil. You can order it from Mountain Rose Herbs.
Transfer the raspberry cheek stain into a small glass roller bottle.
You can apply as little or as much as you like. It will dry very quickly due to the high alcohol content.
As you can see in the photo above, the cheek stain dries to a very beautiful pink hue. I am very excited about his recipe. It was super easy to wash off with my mild face wash.
Some of you may be wondering if you could use this as a lip stain, and my answer is YES....but you need to make one change to the recipe. Instead of using 1/4 teaspoon of castor oil, use 1/2 teaspoon of sweet almond or sunflower oil. You will need to shake the container well before you apply the product to your lips. Due to the high alcohol content, you may experience dry lips if you use it too often, so discontinue using if it becomes bothersome.
