Not sure who to see live this summer? Easy, Bombay Bicycle Club and here's why.
This four piece indie rock band graced the stage of the O2 Academy in Glasgow earlier this month and set the place on fire.
By hitting the ground running with the memorising Overdone they let the crowd know they had no intention of being subtle. The real conviction in their playing showed their growth into musical geniuses but still-slightly-awkward-punk-rock-heroes.
The setlist heavily featured songs off their new album So Long, See You Tomorrow (Think: a fantastic blend of All American Rejects punk rock and mellow Vampire Weekend vibes) which is a must-buy.
They pulled out all the stops with a brass accompaniment, the stage had a body count of over 9 people at one point. However, I don't know if the term "too many cooks spoil the broth" applies..
But the show was definitely a treat for the eyes – three circular screens had projected videos which were timed perfectly to each song. A lot of thought was evidently put into the videos, setlist and the lighting. The latter of which was also perfectly timed to each beat of every song, one cool trick was when the floor lighting would highlight each member in turn and eventually land on the lead singer on the last beat of Carry Me. Listen to the song and you'll know what I mean.
Bombay Bicycle Club are still on tour in the United Kingdom before jetting off to America, check out their dates here.
They will also be playing T in the Park, Latitude Festival then Reading and Leeds.

Description: This is a great topical pain reliever! Most topical pain relievers cause a hot sensation to the skin. Biofreeze offers a cold sensation that can be much more effective in relieving pain.
Review: It comes in several applications and my favorite is the roll on – you can apply it anytime and don't have to worry about getting it on your hands. They've also recently come out with a spray version.
Biofreeze is great for any type of sore muscles, aches, sprains, etc. and works especially well when massaged into the skin. Also feels great after a work out even if you don't have any specific pain issues.
Biofreeze has become increasingly difficult to find, but you can usually find it at Chiropractors and/or Physical Therapist's office and you do not need a prescription. Also available at Amazon.com.

Q. If I have a pool service, do I still need an automatic cleaner?
An automatic pool cleaner can assist in keeping your pool bottom cleaned between visits.
Q. If I have a pool service, do I still need to empty the skimmer baskets?

One of the best way of selling and familiarizing people with your brand is through exhibits. Mobility of exhibits from one place to another makes them a very effective way of reaching to people in different areas. The are convenient to attend as they are held within a period of five days hence one can plan a free some time to attend them. Below are some guidelines on making your exhibit a success.
First, you ought to ensure that you don't go to the exhibit stand alone. Running of an exhibition stand is a full-time job which can be very tiring and the stand should never be unattended at any one time. As you plan your stand include one or two helpers who have the ability to man the stand to help you out so that there is someone available when the rest rush out to rest or take a meal. The best choice of assistants would be those conversant with your brand and who can engage strangers warmly.
Secondly, ensure that you dress appropriately for the exhibition. Keep in mind that potential clients address you as per your dressing and for this reason, ensure that you dress decently. If you have the financial capability, you can print out some uniform shirts which bare your theme colors or logo and wear them during the exhibition period. Attracting clients is a guarantee when you look presentable to them.
Punctuality is the third factor you ought to take into consideration when running an exhibition stand. Erecting your exhibition stand in a strategic place is crucial for your success and for this reason you ought to arrive early and grabs a good space. Early arrival is also beneficial to you as you have enough time to arrange your stand and remove all the packaging materials and personal belongings from the sight of potential clients. Once you are done with your exhibition stand, say hi to other exhibitors present whom you know and also check out what other stands have to offer.
When it comes to the design of the stand, ensure that you incorporate your theme colors. Ensure that you have reading material such as pamphlets cards, price lists for your products and contact cards. You ought to always be on your guard and keep away anything that would turn off your potential visitors who are willing to visit your stand. Some clients may need to make a more detailed consultation and for this reason, ensure that you have some extra seats inside your stand to an area more concealed for such small meetings. The last thing you ought to do at the end of the exhibition is prepared a follow-up. Above is a guide which will make your exhibition a success.

Who hasn't dealt with the frustration of hauling four different sizes to the dressing room because of ridiculous discrepancies in fit from brand to brand? Probably 99.9% of us have dealt with this maddening reality. Now, a New York-based company called Body Labs hopes to make that a distant memory — by commercializing its cutting-edge 3-D body-modeling technology (which is an advanced upgrade on mere 3-D body scanning).
Earlier this month, Body Labs raised $8 million in Series A funding (so get ready to hear more about its body-modeling wizardry in the near future). The company began in the early aughts at Brown University's computer vision lab; then, it continued at Germany's Max Planck Institute. Though the company doesn't exclusively address the fashion industry, it has been a focus since Body Labs' inception: "When research started in the early 2000s, e-commerce was just booming, but no one knew how to handle the returns problem. People were suddenly not trying things on before buying them," says Flo McDavid, director of business development at Body Labs. Brands therefore started having a harder time sussing out how specific designs fit customers' bodies.
In just two brief years, technology has changed markedly and 3-D sensors have become very compact and affordable. Body Labs' clients today include apparel and e-commerce brands ranging in scale from Fortune 500 companies to start-ups in their formative phases.
The typical fit process for any given garment might consist of a designer sending a pattern of a particular piece to a factory overseas for the sample to get made; then, the sample gets sent back to the designer to be tried on a live fit model. That back-and-forth might happen five or six times, over the course of months, before the garment is just right.
By comparison, a designer could use Body Labs to virtually simulate how a piece will fit on a body of any proportions — be it a brand's sample-size specs or, perhaps, the dimensions of an actual woman — before anything gets physically created, McDavid explains. The technology can also simulate how a particular garment will move on the body, helping to figure out if things will annoyingly bunch or ride up.
Besides accelerating the fit process for designers, Body Labs uses its technology to compare the same size across labels, creating 3-D body models using each brand's waist, bust, and hip measurements. For example, the contrast between a size 8 at Zara versus Banana Republic is two inches in the chest, three inches in the waist, and two inches in the hips (Zara's sizing is the slimmer of the two brands in all of those dimensions, unsurprisingly).
So, can retailers make use of Body Lab's technology to actually, you know, make clothes fit better? The problem, according to McDavid, is that "fit models are often chosen arbitrarily, and don't actually reflect [a brand's] average consumer's body, let alone the range of shapes that exist within a target market. The average woman's body in New York is not the same as Texas, or Tokyo." The solution: taking "a lot" of 3-D scans of a particular population (say, everyone who bought a size medium at a particular retailer) and then creating 3-D body models for that specific group, McDavid says, so the retailer can know what a size-medium body truly looks like among that customer base.
Expect to see 3-D modeling integrated into your shopping experiences in the next two years. "Retail settings are perfect for scanning: You're already changing in and out of clothes, and you have a private space," McDavid says. "Adding in a quick spin in front of a tablet or stepping inside a booth lined with 3-D sensors is easy." That data could translate to a souped-up e-comm experience with the same retailer, since your digital body model could by used by the retailer to customize the threads you're browsing based on fit predictions (and inventory).
"It deepens the connection you have with a brand that actually understands your body; it makes it a conversation," McDavid says. Having a strong relationship to a particular fashion label because its clothes really fit you — that's precisely what retailers' most profitable dreams are made of.


I have 2 boys 10 and 9. My 10 year old was diagnosed with Duchenne when he years ago and since then a moment hasn't passed when I don't think and pray for his health and long life. Both my boys love to keep me on toes. My husband is a scientist and keeps himself updated with the latest research in the field. I admire his positive attitude and strength in dealing with this situation. We all love to spend time with each other, play, go out and watch movies.

Why Democrats can feel cautiously optimistic about 2020
Comment International Issues
17th November 2018 18th December 2018 Nat Rachman

On Tuesday 6th November, I had something of a heavy night. I stayed up drinking into the small hours of the morning, became quite emotional and then incoherent, before stumbling into bed drunk and exhausted at 3am. This was not, however, the fallout from a standard student club night, but the far nerdier affair of a US midterm elections viewing 'party'. Anxiously crouched on a broken sofa in my JCR, I spent the evening illuminated in the combined glow of my laptop and a large TV blaring CNN. This was the big night for any obsessive follower of American politics, marking the occasion when the US went to the polls at the half-way point in the president's term. Formally, it was a chance to re-elect the entire lower chamber of Congress – the House of Representatives – and a third of its upper chamber – the Senate. There was however, more at stake than just which party got to control America's legislature. By the 6th November, an electoral contest had become a moral one; from the Democrat perspective, it was a referendum on whether the American people would accept a presidency that had detained children, attempted to ban Muslims from entering the United States, and passed a fiscal bill which saw 62% of the trillion-dollar tax cuts go to the 1%. From the Republican angle, it was a chance to see whether the electorate would support a commander-in-chief who could be described as unconventional or, less charitably, unhinged, and whether the extremely strong state of the US economy could insulate the Party from a leader whose popularity was historically low.
As the night began, I had high hopes for a 'blue wave' to help wash away the Republican congress, and thereby the moral stain which America seemed to have inflicted on itself only two years ago. Things, however, started to go wrong. Early in the night, the Democrat challenger for Tennessee, Phil Bredesen, appeared to have lost his race by a dismayingly large margin. There was clearly to be no blue victory there. But then the incumbents began to fall too. Joe Donnelly, Indiana's Democratic senator who had polled slightly ahead of his opponent, slipped to an increasingly heavy defeat. Bill Nelson of Florida was suddenly behind, and his Democrat colleagues in the Senate, Claire McCaskill and Heidi Heitkamp, had soon been set on the path to defeat. Worst of all, the House, a far easier Democratic target, at points seemed to teeter on the edge of continued Republican control. As I abandoned the viewing for my bed, it seemed that Trumpism had not only swept Congress, but also the contest for America's soul.
"As I abandoned the viewing for my bed, it seemed that Trumpism was not only swept Congress, but also the contest for America's moral core."
If I had been too much of an optimist at the beginning of the evening, however, I found in the morning that I had veered too far into pessimism. The blue wave I had desired had arrived, if in less spectacular form than envisioned. Results are still coming in, but as it stands the Democrats have taken over 30 seats seats in the House, enough for them to retake control with a comfortable majority. The Senate meanwhile, was less dire than feared: good results in Montana, Nevada and Arizona seemed to further confirm that although the Republicans have so far picked up two senate seats, they have not swept the board.
In one sense, it was still hard not to be disappointed. In the 2010 and 2014 midterms, Republicans had taken a combined fifteen senate seats. Not only had the Democrats failed to win any, but they'd even lost ground. In context, however, this is less of a blow than it might seem. The cycle of 2018 presented a hugely overexposed map for the Democrats, with 25 of the 33 states in contention held by them at the beginning of the night. According to polling analyst Nate Silver, it was probably the hardest Senate map in history for any party in the US, and with an economy this good, gains in the upper chamber were always a stretch, especially given an unprecedently large split between rural and urban voting which only further limits Democratic power in states like Indiana or North Dakota. With early hubris dispelled, I could also remember that the main objective of House control had been secured; Trump will now find it hard to pass anything of substance, and a flood of subpoenas central to the criminal investigation into his 2016 campaign can be unleashed.
"If confidence would be too strong of an emotion to now possess, there is at the very least space for a cautious optimism – after all, 2020 beckons and there is plenty to play for."
Perhaps we can count the midterms count as a Democrat victory as much for what they suggest as what they actually achieved. The Midwestern states which had so disastrously gone red in 2016 have clearly not irreparably shifted in allegiance, as shown by Democrat victories in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. While the South was in one sense an area of disappointment, the level of Democrat competition was surprising, with Republican heartland states such as Georgia and Texas going red by only a few percentage points over numerous races. Should the US economy lose steam, which its stock market suggests is very possible, and should President Trump dip back into the high-30s approval ratings he once suffered, the Southern Democrat may emerge from extinction with shattering implications. The vital 'swing state' of Florida has meanwhile voted to refranchise around 1.5 million former felons who had lost the vote due to criminal conviction, a demographic which is disproportionately black (although still majority white), and has been cited as a possible source of Democratic support. As a state only narrowly won by Donald Trump, this decision may be of considerable importance in the years to come. It is of course possible and indeed eminently likely that he will be returned for another four years, but at least when I find myself glued to the next US election, there lurks the potential not only for a 'blue wave' but a 'blue tsunami'. If confidence would be too strong of an emotion to now possess, there is at the very least space for a cautious optimism – after all, 2020 beckons and there is plenty to play for.

From the ashes we shall rise, or at least the former members of Unicorns, Alden Penner, and Arcade Fire, Brendan Reed, believe this. They have risen from their past with the formation of a new group, Clues. Their self-titlted album is out now on Constellation, and while it may not demonstrate the brilliance the two are capable of creating, it has some moments worthy of highlighting in your music catalog.
You see the Unicorns resemblance immediately, as the opening track "Haarp" begins with a quiet little whisper before slowly picking up the pace. As the pace is quickened to a steady trot, the tension rises, and even the guitar styling is so similar that you would swear that this is a B-Side from Penner's former mates. This is either a complaint for those who loved that project, or an place worthy of garnering interest among new hordes of fans.
It would be great if we could discard that reference, but unfortunately we cannot; as of this point in time, Penner is being marked by the success of Nic Thorburn. While you can find similarities in the playing styles of the two former Unicorns, it seems that what sets Clues apart from the past is the jaggedness that he seems to hold onto. "Approach the Throne" is full of just that, as the choppy guitars hammer away. It's not the sort of pop sensibility of Islands, but one should be happy is set to making his own mark here. "Cave Mouth" similarly shares the affinity for disjointed melodies and angular guitars, with the lyrics being turned down in the mix so that the music takes the focus.
There are moments that do approach chasing that pop sensibility, or at least the ballad aesthetic. "You Have My Eyes Now" and "Ledmonton" are just a few songs that show the slower side of things; these songs unfortunately don't encourage the listener's attention span, which render them, sadly, as throwaways. Not throwaways necessarily, but the mellow moments are not very successful here, though "Ledmonton" does sport some chanting choral moments near the songs ending.
Oddly, the Arcade Fire influence is not really here, unless you tie it all in to some of the zany moments that exist throughout. But it's clear that Reed's style of drumming was not the founding influence that broke his previous band.
In the end, you wonder whether it's fair to judge a band by it's members former labors. Is such a judgment just? Probably not, but that is the unforutunate truth in dealing with Clues. You look at the sparkling moments here, and look back to their past; you look at the dull moments and wonder where this band will go. Truth is, only time will tell.
A few years back, California's great Grandaddy decided to break up; they cited lack of financial success despite critical acclaim as one of their reasons for going away. Many heartbroken fans were happy to hear that Anti Records had signed frontman and lead songwriter, Jason Lytle, to a record deal. His album, Yours Truly, The Commuter, is exactly what you would expect from a man who left California for Montana in search of a new muse and new inspiration.
Opening the album with the title-track immediately brings back all the memories of your old Grandaddy record collection. Electronic blips and keyboard steadily build before the percussive element joins the fray. Furthering the song with simple strings (samples possibly) and Lytle's familiar voice marks this album as the return of one of indie rock's great voices.
If one were to go on song titles alone then we would be led to believe that Jason came to Montana in seach of new horizons and a return to a different type of focus that would create inspirational songs once again. In so many ways, he does seem to have regained his form on this album, but it's that retreading of old tricks in his bag that seem to work the best for him.
"Brand New Sun" discusses the departure for greener pastures, and the simple acoustic song is filled with what one can only assume are laser noise created by martians, or Lytle's keyboard. "Birds Encouraged Him" is simply a beautiful song; it's one of the better songs in the Lytle catalog. Very light percussion accompanies the acoustic fingerings here, and string arrangements allow for the song to create a more atmospheric element; this is all added by the electronic whizzing of space noises.
Jason even decides to break out the rock element on this album with "It's The Weekend." Chugging power chords create a bouncing song that begins just as soon as it really ends, closing with Jason mellowing out on piano before zooming out one last time. But, it's the softer element on this album that seems to take precedent.
A piano ballad appears courtesy of "This Song is a Mute Button." It's one of the simpler songs on this record, but it reminds you of how personal songwriting can be for the likes of Jason Lytle. And it's followed by another spectacular number in "Rollin Home Alone." Using string arrangements really seems to bring out a lot of the vocal melodies in Lytle's voice, and the arrangement of the song is equally beneficial. You'd find difficulty not including this as one of your favorite songs of the year.
It's refreshing to note that not a lot has really changed in the capabilities of Mr. Lytle. He still fuses guitar and electronic elements as breezily as in his days of Grandaddy, which not only makes you nostalgic for the good old days, but grateful he's returned with an album as good as Yours Truly, The Commuter.
When My Latest Novel released their debut Wolves a few years back many were taken by the forest-folk style, as the band walked a tightrope between organic folk and twee. On their latest release, Deaths and Entrances, the band seems to have fully realized their sound, which now seems to be strengthened by the maturation of a group constructing ornate songs throughout its duration.
Interestingly, the band spent a great deal of time on this album researching their favorite literature, taking cues from their everyday live, and weaving them into the lyrics of the album. The title, for instance, takes its name from a Dylan Thomas poem; they also pay homage to writer Alasdair Gray, who hails from the same land, Scotland, as the group.
Using influential literature as a background for constructing songs has a way of informing a band in a certain sense. In writing this set of songs the band has been able to transform their album into something entirely different than the modern pop album; it reads, rather, like a concisely written piece of prose. There is an elemental flow, not unlike literature, where the pacing of the album slows in parts, waiting for the reader, or listener in this case, to gather his or her thoughts for just a moment before moving on with more details.
The music is like a great deal of the music that is making its way from Scotland at the moment. Vocals are immediately recognizable, but in the sense that many a Scot has a distinctive dialect. And we find that the music throughout the album is quite busy, whilst the band utilizes multiple instruments to construct and deconstruct each song. According to press releases, they wrote a great deal of these songs together, which allowed the songs to blend together as one large piece of music itself; once again this lends itself to the resonance of literature that is evident in their music.
Subject matter varies on the album, with issues of war-mongering seeming to be one of the more noticeable motifs. The outlook is not quite as bright, or at least not in the eyes of the songwriters, and as the band unites to sing in unison, they encourage us all to move forward, beyond our trivial pursuits as we search for something greater for both humanity and ourselves.
Once again, My Latest Novel have created an album composed of millions of pieces, tightly pieced together like a giant jigsaw puzzle of aesthetically soothing tunes. The album exists as a complete composition; its a unified vision of a band sticking together, which inevitably makes it a rewarding listen time and time again.
You'd have to be living in a hole to not have heard of Jeremy Enigk, or at least his legendary band Sunny Day Real Estate; he has since moved on to focus primarily on his solo efforts. His third LP, OK Bear, has just been released, and it's a step in a direction that many will be pleased to see him pushing.
The opening tracks, "Mind Idea" and "Late of Camera" set the tone for the entirety of the album, as each song builds upon rising sonic sounds. Organic songs structures allow Enigk great room for his ever-astonishing voice, which is one of the most recognizable. As always, his vocals soar, seeming as if they are about to burst through your speakers, yet holding back with enough poise to carry a melody.
While some of the song features full band arrangements, a few of which resemble the sound of How It Feels to Be Something On, this is not the only approach Jeremy takes on the latest effort. The beautiful "April Storm" reminds us all of why he was so enchanting in the first place. Acoustic guitar accompanied by quiet percussion plainly bring the song to life, and Enigk carries the song on the back of his voice. "Just a State of Mind" is another such song, wherein Jeremy lets his voice be your guide throughout the song. Sure, it's his voice that comes across as one of the more memorable elements in these songs, but that voice, for many, brings nothing but good memories; for those not accustomed to the vocal quality, it will win you over as well.
"Life's Too Short" is the song that most recalls Jeremy Enigk playing with his old band; there is a sharpness to the rhythm guitar that creates that bombastic atmosphere. His voice cuts through the song with a sharpness and a certain ferocity that is not present on the rest of the album. It might make you tear up just a bit, reminding us all of what it felt like when we first listened to Diary.
One of the more surprising songs on the album is "Make Believe." It seems like an entirely different genre, or at least approach to writing than anything he has done before this. Here you find him doing his best impression of a classic singer/songwriter, a place that he really hadn't visited too often, despite this being his third LP. When the song is said and done, you wonder how many more gems he's got up his sleeve, as you could easily listen to an album's worth of songs like these. But, as you have it, the record is a little uneven, alternating back and forth between amazing and standard; once you put nostalgia aside, it's nice to see Jeremy still writing great tunes.
Local Austinite Andrew Kenny made waves long ago as the leader of American Analog Set; he returns to Austin after a lengthy absence with a new band in tow, The Wooden Birds. While you immediately recall his vocal styling, the music definitely takes a different approach on the band's first proper album, Magnolia.
Musically, this album comes directly at you. There are no waves of distortion or ambient sounds; this is an album comprised very simply of guitar, vocals and percussion. Kenny's gentle guitar plucking will bring to mind some comparisons to Iron and Wine, though Andrew's been at it longer, so we should give him credit there (not that it's a competition).
While the approach may be very simple in it's delivery, you can tell that in the writing process Andrew spent a great amount of time fleshing out the melodies that would accompany the softness of the music he composed. His voice, at times, seems oddly similar to that of Ben Gibbard, especially when he takes on that bedroom-quiet whisper.
Oddly, a lot of the songs do seem to play off the same set of standards, with only the slightest of variations. For instance, "Quit You Once" and "Never Know" open in precisely the same way, which also appears to happen with "Hailey" and "Hometown Fantasy." Despite the lack of change in much of the album, you still take interest in how the songs develop individually; this is all due to the abilities of Andrew as a songwriter.
From start to finish the album is carefully and quietly written. It's the type of album that draws you in with its approach to the craft of the song, and such talent allows listeners to look beyond the similarities that might otherwise render the album dull and boring. Luckily, Mr. Kenny has been at this long enough to know precisely how to rise above such issues, and his success is just another reason why he is regarded with such respect among the musical elite (as you could witness by his recent performance with Broken Social Scene at Bass Concert Hall). Sure, the quietude of this album may not be your precise cup of tea, but it's great to have one of our local boys back composing such softly wonderful music.


What you may next read is a riddle of alchemy that we have presented to others for about the last five years now in which if my memory serves me justly, only two people have correctly answered. Enjoy, and remember each immediate answer you consider more than likely will not be right because every sentence must perfectly coincide to this one word answer.
The key to life and death is everywhere to be found, but if you do not find it in your own house you will find it nowhere. Yet it is right before everyones eyes. None can live without it, everyone has used it, the poor usually posses it more than the rich; children play with it in the streets, the meek and uneducated esteem it highly, but the privileged and learned often throw it away. It is the only thing from which the philosophers stone can be prepared, and without it, no noble metal can be created.
The one word answer is?

I've been a Realtor for 5 years and I truly love it. But there is a lot more to it than showing houses and doing open houses. Here is a list of the top 10 questions and comments I get from clients.
You must work a lot of weekends!
Being a Realtor, I work 24/7/365. So yes, I do work weekends and evenings but I can have somewhat of a "normal" schedule. Typically I work while my kids are at school. I am home to get them off the bus and then I become commander-in-chief for after school snacks, homework, activities and making dinner. Some nights I run out the door when my husband walks in so I can do showings, meet new clients, go on listing appointments etc. There are days that I'm writing offers at 6am and some nights that I'm talking with clients at 10pm. And yes, I do work on vacation. Just part of the job.
Don't you just love looking at all the houses?
In one week I could look at 2 homes all the way up to 20 homes! That's a lot of homes. Looking at houses for me is different than a client looking at houses. I'm looking at the Seller's Disclosure to see how the mechanics are, I'm noticing the water stain on the ceiling in the bedroom, I point out the lack of basement when all my buyers wanted was a basement even though they LOVE the kitchen. The truth is buying a home can be a very emotional adventure. I try and help to keep the emotions to a minimum.
Your home must look like it belongs on HGTV!
Sorry to disappoint but….it looks like a family with 2 children live there if you get my drift.
I have an amazing personal tribe behind me that helps me look good. My family, friends/neighbors do so much for me and I am forever grateful. I also have an amazing professional tribe behind me too. Lenders, title companies, other agents, contractors…the support to get my job done is truly amazing.
I'm so sorry we've seen so many homes.
I always tell people you have to see the homes to know if it is the one for you. Pictures can be deceiving sometimes. Purchasing your home is one of the biggest investments you are going to make so we don't want to rush it and you certainly don't want to settle. I know we will find the right one…we always do.
When you aren't showing homes or doing an open house, what else are you doing?
There are a lot of things that are happening behind the scenes when it goes to buying and selling a home. When we get a home under contract, that's when I go to work even harder. Working with the other agent, the lender, title company, keeping my clients on schedule with the timeline for home inspections, appraisals, mortgage commitments etc. Think of my role kind of like a director. I keep all the pieces moving together to hopefully get to a final product. We all work as a team and we all want to have the same outcome.
You must make SO much money!
It can look like that on paper sometimes but you have to remember that the commission on a sale is typically split between the listing and selling agent. Then the broker takes their portion and don't forget the government needs their part too. And there are many fees that Realtors pay to keep their license up to date, marketing themselves, insurance, and costs for certain systems. I DO NOT get paid unless a home is sold. The benefit is, there is no limit to what I can make.
The commission on a $250,000 home might be around $15,000. But after it is split between the 2 agents, the broker (agency that I work for) take their percentage and I pay taxes, I would end up with about $3,500-$4,000.
I am required to have my license at a brokerage but technically….I am my own boss. There are some benefits and drawbacks to this just like anything else.
Benefits: I have to have some flexibility but make my own hours and I try my best to work around our family's schedule. I don't have to work 9-5 and I don't have to work at the office. Though I will say, working at the office helps me stay on task. I make my own goals and it's up to me how I get there.
How can you stand the stress of the job?
First of all…..I also teach yoga. This can help. I feel like this transitions into my real estate career. I try to make each step along the way as stress-free as possible for my clients. Transparency, educating my clients on the process and keeping them in the loop with every step, all of these help. I also give them the worst case scenario and the best. Sometimes I joke with my clients that I'm a marriage counselor, an interior decorator, a babysitter, a mover, a chauffeur, a house keeper and more!
Why do you love being a Realtor?
I'm a people person and I love to help others. It is exciting to me to become almost like family with some of my clients. It really is fantastic to watch new buyers buy their first home and it's humbling when clients ask you to help with something sensitive like sell their parents home. I learn something new each day in this industry and no 2 days are the same. I find that invigorating and keeps me engaged with my career.


Start by measuring your painting. At Bamboo Studio, we use canvas sizes 16"x20" and 9"x12", so if you made your painting with us, that's taken care of! Head to your local hardware or lumber store and pick up some pine furring strip. Frances picked hers up for only $1.06! If you don't have a way to cut it at home, the store employees can probably do it for you. You will need 2 20" pieces and 2 17.5" pieces for a 16"x20" painting. While you're there pick up your dark Varathane Kona wood stain, gray paint, and some finishing nails.
Once you've got all the materials you need and are ready to get started with the frame, stain your furring strips with the dark stain color. Follow the instructions on your stain, and allow the pieces to dry completely before continuing.
When the stain is dry and set, sand the pieces lightly to distress them, causing lovely rustic streaks and a worn-in look. Make sure that you clean off any dust that sanding may create! Then, mix one part gray paint with two parts water to create a runny wash. Brush the paint-water mixture onto your pieces, then wipe off excess paint. This process is called gray washing, and gives the finished product a beautiful rustic feel.
Once you're satisfied with the color, you're ready to begin assembling. Take your finishing nails and attach the two 20" pieces to the long sides of your canvas. You can nail directly into the balsawood of the canvas stretch frame, but be careful not to nudge the canvas, as it may distort. Then, nail the two 17.5" pieces to the short sides and to the 20" frame pieces. You're done! You can add hooks, chain, or fishing line to hang your painting, or hang it directly on the stretch frame.
Share your finished frame with us!
What do you think? Send us your finished results on our Facebook page or tag us @bamboostudiogr on Instagram!

Who knew that structuring molecules and discovering their energies could be so fun? Buabeng worked alongside Assistant Professor of Chemistry Paul Gladen and Associate Professor of Chemistry Dawn Wiser to do just that, contributing new content to the College's Organic Chemistry lab curriculum.
Q. What type of research are you conducting?
A. I am conducting a computational lab for the Organic Chemistry lab course. My research pertains to the structures of molecules and the energies of those structures based on the different positions made by rotating carbon-carbon bonds. To conduct my research, I am using a computer software to draw the molecules and rotate them, making the software calculate the energies of the different orientations of the rotated molecules. Then, I am going to write up a lab for the chemistry department to add to the Organic Chemistry lab curriculum.
A. The Richter Scholar Program will impact my future by allowing me to have experience with the laboratory side of the sciences and to gain knowledge pertaining to how computer software can be used to positively influence and assist the chemistry department at the College.
A. Working one-on-one with a professor is more laid-back than in class, and there is time to go further in-depth learning about the various sectors of chemistry that I need to know about to complete my research. I am working with two professors and, as a result, I always have someone to go to with questions, clarification, and help when I need it.
A. Working with two professors on two topics—computer design and chemistry—and combining them to create a lab that uses the computer to provide a visualization of what is going on at an atomic level. This research is preparing me for topics that I will learn about, and it allows me to get a better sense of computational chemistry.
A. The hard work and determination I put forth can truly give me opportunities that I have hoped to experience.

Olaf Breuning is Home Again

Investigative Activity: An Interview with Joshua Abelow
In Olaf Breuning's Home trilogy, three half-hour videos released over the past seven years, we are guided by a nameless buffoon played by actor Brian Kerstetter. Rare is a scene without the presence of his face floating before the camera or his bipolar, delusional, egomaniacal and clownish personality.
Like the Swiss-born Breuning, the buffoon is a scruffy, sandy-haired New Yorker around 40 years of age with a penchant for masks and face paint. He's obsessed with the culture around him. In the first film of the trilogy, Home (2004), he holes up in a hotel room and reimagines his life as a collage of film references and anecdotes. Throughout Home 2 (2007), shown at the 2008 Whitney Biennial, he travels the globe, spitting terrible American tourist-speak wherever he goes.
For Home 3 (2012), which Breuning recently completed and screened earlier this month at the Swiss Institute in New York, the buffoon explores New York City with an eye to its most sparkling capitalist armpits—Times Square, wax museums, Coney Island. The more iconic, the better. He spends a lot of his time impressing strangers with pomp and factoids. He patrols fancy dining haunts like Cipriani and Balthazar (Breuning's favorite restaurant, according to a profile in the New York Times) and hires a few lap dancers to hang out in a limousine. He cheats his participation in the New York Marathon and attends a hipster dance party in Brooklyn's trendy Williamsburg neighborhood. He seeks the good life.
Since the narrative is nonexistent and the scenes have no real connection, the glue that holds the film together is the clumsy, charming buffoon himself. While the previous two films in the trilogy had a certain sheen, achieved with the use of cinematic filters, soundtracks and smooth editing, Home 3 is a raw, YouTube-and-iMovie affair. Transitions are jagged, and the sound and lighting are left untouched, allowing the earnestness and accidental humor of amateurism to paint the video as a confessional document. Best are the moments when the buffoon waddles out in public and riffs on the city, Borat-like, interacting with real-life awkward bystanders. He harasses Buddhist monks and Central Park sunbathers and Apple store employees but, unlike Borat, expresses a sadness and deep alienation from the people with whom he seems so desperate to connect.
As in his other works—sculpture, drawings, photographs, clothing—Breuning favors the simple visual gag. The buffoon often stages photo ops with whomever he stumbles across, standing still until his face has been printed onto the camera lens. Throughout the film (and the whole trilogy) he wears eerie blue-black contact lenses and stares deep into the camera. He cycles through a wardrobe of ridiculous costumes, flaps his arms, and hollers–anything to make a scene and attract a little attention.

Kindly help.

A: The problem is that your variable text is not reset between the different tests of the test suite. The test suite only resets the HTML, not the global variables you might have used. Although your idea to store the expression in a variable is great, you need a way that does not depend on global variables.
So, the idea could be to just store the expression in the screen element (not just the last digit that was entered)
This is what that comes down to:
function update(value) {
    document.getElementById('screen').value += value;
}

function result() {
    document.getElementById('screen').value = eval(document.getElementById('screen').value);
}

function form_reset() {
    document.getElementById('screen').value = "";
}

British Genocide of 1.8 Billion Indians Detailed Breakup.
Some comments on my article ' Genocide of 1.8 Billion Indians by the British' By Redditors.
I normally do my research before writing any article and I was surprised that I missed out .I did further research. I found one of the links on the basis of which I had written had become Private.And during the process, I found evidence of the Genocide of Indians related news items, articles,blogs have either disappeared (!) .One article on Bengal famine death toll was questioned saying that it was Not Churchill who was responsible and the figures were inflated. Fact is Winston Churchill said on Bengal Famine,India: Churchill claimed "I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion". Churchill seized millions of tons of inessential rice to send the Middle East. Four million Bengals starved to death, and he said 'famine' was their own fault "for breeding like rabbits"
6:33 AM · Jun 8, 2020′. I shall be writing on this in detail and on Bengal Famine.
I am providing a researched paper on the Genocide of 1.8 Billion Indians by the British.
Originally published: CounterCurrents by Dr Gideon Polya (December 28, 2018 ) | – Posted Jan 15, 2019
Note on the author of the information. '
Bengal Famine image
Professor Utsa Patnaik is professor emeritus at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. Utsa Patnaik is a Marxist economist and taught at the Centre for Economic Studies and Planning in the School of Social Sciences at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) from 1973 until her retirement in 2010. She obtained her PhD in economics from Oxford University, UK, and has researched the transition from agricultural peasant societies to industrial societies, and food security and poverty, especially in India.(1) Utsa Patnaik's latest book, co-authored with Prabhat Patnaik, is "A Theory of Imperialism" (2016).(2)
(B) 1.8 billion Indians died avoidably from egregious deprivation under the British.
Imposed poverty kills. Poverty-derived avoidable mortality (avoidable death, excess mortality, excess death, premature death, untimely death, death that should not have happened) can be estimated as the difference between the actual deaths in a country and the deaths expected for a peaceful, decently governed country with same demographics (birth rate and percentage of children).(12) Below are listed in rough chronological order some shocking salient features of the deadly impact of rapacious British imperialism over 2 centuries in British India, Britain's Auschwitz.
In the 1769-1770 Great Bengal Famine 10 million out of 30 million over-taxed Bengalis starved to death(6), (13).
Scores of millions of Indians perished in man-made famines between the 1769-1770 Great Bengal Famine and the 1942-1945 WW2 Bengal Famine.(6)
Using Indian census data 1870-1950, assuming an Indian population of about 200 million in the period 1760-1870, and estimating by interpolation from available data an Indian avoidable death rate in (deaths per 1,000 of population) of 37 (1757-1920), 35 (1920-1930), 30 (1930-1940) and 24 (1940-1950), one can estimate Indian excess deaths of 592 million (1757-1837), 497 million (1837-1901) and 418 million (1901-1947), roughly 1.5 billion in total or 1.8 billion including the Native States.(14)
Scores of millions of distant British keeping hundreds of millions of Indians on the edge of starvation was enabled by relatively small numbers of British soldiers and much greater numbers of well-fed Indian soldiers threatening requisite violence.(6) It has been estimated by Amaresh Misra that 10 million Indians were massacred in the decade after the 1857 Indian Mutiny (Indian Rebellion) as reprisals for 2,000 British deaths.(15), (16)
Despite a very high birth rate, the Indian population did not increase between 1860 (292 million) and 1934 (292 million) [17]. This is indicative of massive avoidable deaths from imposed deprivation that can be estimated as 745 million (1860-1934) or an average of about 10 million Indian avoidable deaths from deprivation per year.(14)
Addressing the House of Commons in 1935, racist, imperialist and mass murderer Winston Churchill made an extraordinary confession in stating of the subjugated Indians: "In the standard of life they have nothing to spare. The slightest fall from the present standard of life in India means slow starvation, and the actual squeezing out of life, not only of millions but of scores of millions of people, who have come into the world at your invitation and under the shield and protection of British power".(6), (18), (19) 7 years later Churchill commenced the deliberate starving to death over 4 years of 6-7 million Indians in Bengal, Orissa, Bihar and Assam as the British exported grain from India and slashed grain imports.(6)
8. In the 1942-1945 WW2 Bengali Holocaust (Indian Holocaust, WW2 Bengal Famine) 6-7 million Indians were deliberately starved to death for strategic reasons by the British with Australian complicity (Australia was complicit by denying starving India food from its huge wartime food stores).(6), (12)–(14), (19)–(27) This atrocity has been white-washed from history and general public perception by successive generations of Anglo journalist, editor, politician and academic presstitutes. Indeed perpetrator Churchill made no mention for this atrocity in his 6-volume history "The Second World War" for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.(6)
According to Professor Utsa Patnaik Indian per capita annual consumption of food was 200 kg in 1900, but went down to 137 kg during World War II and in 1946.(28) This is consonant with the following data from my book "Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History": "The population of India at that time [1940] was about 400 million and total grain production was 50 to 70 million tons annually. The population was growing at a rate of about 5% per year and there was a requirement of net imports of about 1-2 million tons of grain per annum to make up for deficiencies… Behrens' figures for grain shipments (in tons) for India in 1942-1945 are as follows: 1942 (30,000), 1943 (303,000), 1944 (639,000) and 1945 (871,000). The 1942 shipment involved 2 lots from Australia contracted for at the rate of 15,000 tons per month to supply the Indian Army (the balance of the demand was not shipped that year). 2.4 million men served in the Indian Army during World War 2. This estimate can be "reduced" since not all of these were in the Army at the same time, scores of thousands were in the Mediterranean theatre (250,000 served there), had been captured by the Japanese or had died. Taking the gross Indian annual grain production estimates of about 60 million tons for 400 million people, we see that the average consumption was 0.15 tons per person per year (obviously more for adults and less for children). The annual requirement for about 2 million men in the "reduced" Indian Army was therefore 0.3 million tons. We can arrive at a figure having a similar order of magnitude from the 1942 contracted requirement of 15,000 tons per month i.e. 0.18 million tons for a whole year. If we assume that an Indian Army soldier required 50% more food than the average Indian we would estimate that the annual grain requirement for a 2 million strong Indian Army would be about 0.45 million tons. The average yearly importation in 1942-1945 was 0.46 million tons and thus we can see that the grain actually imported was merely enough to feed the Indian Army" (pages 156-158, Chapter 15 (6))…Things got much better after Indian Independence. The 1.8 billion avoidable Indian deaths from deprivation under the genocidal British over 2 centuries is not that surprising when one considers that despite modern medicine, antibiotics, and the essential absence of famine, avoidable deaths from deprivation in the period 1950-2005 in India totalled 0.35 billion.(14) Annual avoidable deaths as a percentage of population fell from a genocidal 2.4% per year in 1947 under the British to 0.35% per year in 2005, but the population of India increased from 380 million in 1947 to about 1,100 million in 2005. Today 4 million Indians die avoidably from deprivation each year as compared to zero (0) in China that, unlike capitalist India, has overcome endemic poverty. https://mronline.org/2019/01/15/britain-robbed-india-of-45-trillion-thence-1-8-billion-indians-died-from-deprivation/

Masterworks Broadway Releases A Chorus Line - 40th Anniversary Celebration Featuring Eight Never-Before-Released Demo Recordings
Composer Marvin Hamlisch and Lyricist Edward Kleban Perform Songs from the Show's 1974 Workshop
New High-Resolution (24/96) Master Created From Surround Sound Remix Previously Only Available in SACD Format
CD, Download and 180-Gram Vinyl LP Reissue Available October 23, 2015
NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Masterworks Broadway releases A Chorus Line – 40th Anniversary Celebration, a definitive, newly remastered edition of the best-selling 1975 Original Broadway Cast Recording. The reissue features eight bonus tracks that – for the first time – allow the listener to eavesdrop on the creative process of composer Marvin Hamlisch and lyricist Edward Kleban, including songs that did not make it into the final version of their acclaimed score. A Chorus Line – 40th Anniversary Celebration will be available October 23, 2015 on CD, downloads in enhanced audio formats and via streaming audio providers.
This release introduces a new high-resolution (24/96) master of the original cast recording, taken from the surround-sound remix created for Super Audio CD (SACD) and previously available only in that format. A perennial best-seller and 1975 Grammy nominee for Best Musical Show Recording, A Chorus Line was the last of the great original cast albums produced by Columbia Records' Goddard Lieberson.
Supplementing A Chorus Line's beloved score on the 40th Anniversary Celebration are eight bonus tracks, found under the title "A Chorus Line work reel" in the holdings of the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. Recorded by Hamlisch and Kleban during the first workshop of the show in 1974, they reveal an early opening number entitled "It's All in Here," as well as "Joanne" and "Shoes," songs that came and went with the development of the show's gallery of characters. Also included are early working versions of "I Can Do That," "At the Ballet," "Sing!," "One" and (identified on the work-reel tape only as "Finale Ballad") "What I Did for Love."
Included in the package for the 40th Anniversary Celebration is an expanded booklet with new liner notes by Oskar Eustis (Artistic Director of The Public Theater in New York), Terre Blair Hamlisch, Linda Kline (co-bookwriter of A Class Act) and Robert Viagas (Managing Editor, Playbill.com).
Simultaneous to the 40th Anniversary Celebration release is a new audiophile vinyl LP edition of the cast album. Cut from high-resolution files by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio and manufactured on 180-gram vinyl at Memphis Record Pressing, the set includes a digital download card redeemable for the entire 40th Anniversary Celebration set.
Opening at a time when the very idea of the Broadway musical seemed out of step with the new direction in American pop music, Hamlisch and Kleban defied the odds with an exuberant, razor-sharp but heartfelt score that even yielded a breakout hit, the show's penultimate number, "What I Did for Love."
A visionary, game-changing theatrical achievement as well as a blockbuster commercial hit, A Chorus Line – conceived, directed and choreographed by Michael Bennett – reinvigorated the traditional Broadway musical in a legendary production. After premiering at the New York Public Theater late in the spring of 1975, A Chorus Line moved to Broadway the following July, where it ran for almost fifteen years, closing in 1990 after 6,137 performances. The show not only swept the Tony Awards in the 1975-76 Broadway season, it also won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize in Drama, as well as the Olivier Award when it first appeared on London's West End in 1976.
A Chorus Line is currently the sixth longest-running show in Broadway history. It held the record for the longest run for seven years, until Cats surpassed it in 1997.

Donald Trump's campaign manager said Tuesday that her candidate does not believe in man-made climate change following a heated—and ambiguous—exchange on the issue at the first presidential debate.
Conway's remark clarifies a remark from Trump during Monday's debate. Hillary Clinton accused Trump of saying climate change was a "hoax perpetrated by the Chinese." Trump responded saying, "I do not say that," but he did not clarify exactly what part of Clinton's comment he found objectionable.
Trump has repeatedly questioned the science of climate change and as recently as 2012 called it a myth created by China. Throughout the campaign he has promised to gut U.S. efforts to address the issue.
Nearly all climate scientists agree that humans are contributing to climate change and urgent measures are needed to address it. Both candidates offered their views on how to address climate change—and other key science issues under presidential purview—in a survey of science policy earlier this month. In those answers, Trump dismissed global warming saying "there is still much that needs to be investigated" while Clinton outlined her plan.
A group of 375 leading scientists, including 30 Nobel laureates, penned a letter criticizing Trump's stance on climate change earlier this month.

Yukos oligarchs finally pay arbitration award to Russian Federation
Earlier this month, The ICLP issued a claim in the English Courts enforcing an award made in favour of the Russian Federation. The oligarchs have confirmed that they do not contest the application and have paid in full plus interest.
PRESS RELEASE FROM RUSSIAN FEDERATION'S
INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR LEGAL PROTECTION
(London & Moscow, 29 September 2017): The International Centre for Legal Protection ("ICLP"), set up to defend the Russian Federation against claims from the Yukos oligarchs, has received full payment from Yukos-vehicle Financial Performance Holdings BV ("FPH") of an arbitration award issued over a year ago.
Earlier this month, the Russian Federation brought an application before the English High Court to enforce a London-seated UNCITRAL arbitration award made in September 2016 in favour of the Russian Federation. The award related to an arbitration claim the Yukos oligarchs had brought through FPH and then unilaterally withdrew following The Hague District Court's April 2016 decision to set aside the main Yukos $50bn awards.
The FPH arbitration proceedings were therefore terminated with prejudice, and FPH was ordered to pay the full costs of the proceedings, including the ICLP's costs.
After being served with the Russian Federation's application in the English courts, the oligarchs have confirmed that they do not contest the application and have made payment of the full amount awarded plus interest, as well as the costs related to the application itself (around USD 1,7 million totally).
Andrey Kondakov, Director General of ICLP said "FPH was ordered to pay all the costs for its stillborn claim against the Russian Federation, and it is good at last to see those costs and the interest associated with them finally being settled. The Russian Federation will continue to defend its position against the oligarchs' other unjustified claims and recover respective legal expenses."
Russian Federation claims in UK High Court against Yukos Oligarchs to enforce arbitration award
Following an arbitral claim the oligarchs brought against the Russian Federation through the oligarch's vehicle FPH, The Russian Federation is now compelling the vehicle to pay a London UNCITRAL arbitration costs awards made in September 2016 and is asking the UK High Court to compel FPH to disclose its worldwide assets.
Paris Court of Appeal recommends referring Yukos case questions to the ECJ
The court recommends submitting a list of questions to the Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ) for a preliminary ruling aimed at the interpretation of the Energy Charter Treaty. Parties have until 10 October to revert.
District Court set aside of $50bn awards
The Dutch District Court in the Hague ruled that the arbitral tribunal was wrong to consider itself to have jurisdiction in the case and threw out the $50bn awards in their entirety, awarding costs against the oligarchs.


Spend time on Facebook each day? Want to help your favorite charity? You can now do both – simultaneously. GamesThatGive (now owned by Facebook software company Vitrue), allows gamers the opportunity to support their favorite charities simply by playing online games. The longer you play, the more money is donated by GamesThatGive.
For those who may not be aware of the specifics, here is how it works. You play a GamesThatGive branded online game and GamesThatGive gives away 70% of the proceeds earned from ad revenue. The amount you help raise for approved charities is determined by the amount of time you are on the site. Needless to say, non-profits gladly steer donors to the gaming sites. The ease of use and the quick return to non-profits make this gaming tactic very attractive.
But all that glitters isn't necessarily gaming gold – or at least not the gold you really want. While I understand the appeal of approaches like GamesThatGive, the concerns are significant. Let me suggest two reasons why the gamification of giving may not be good for philanthropy and your institution.
Gamification Doesn't Educate Donors – Effective development professionals understand that our real work with donors is about educating more than it is asking. Before we ever ask, we help donors better understand and appreciate the plight of those we serve and how, with their giving, we can serve better. In addition, we work to educate our donors on the joys of giving! Giving is good for people and part of our work is to encourage donors to be their best through the act of being generous. The gamification of giving doesn't give us much of a chance to do this educational work.
Gamification Doesn't Engage the Whole Donor – Of course, some might say the following: 'Well, maybe we don't educate the donors with gaming, but it is free and easy gift income, so that's not all bad.' Perhaps. . . but it ain't very good, either! Is money all you really want from your donors? Really? The vast majority of institutions that engage our firm want far more from their donors. And I bet you do, too. Whether it's to call prospective students and encourage their enrollment. Or, participating in a donor thank-a-thon. Or serving on a committee. Or helping with an event. Or a host of other volunteer activities. Effective development leaders recognize the need to engage much more of the whole person than simply the pocketbook. Gaming doesn't focus your donors on how they can enhance their engagement with your institution. Gaming focuses your donors on gaming.

The February Carnival: The Mark Driscoll Edition
Posted on 1 Mar 2014 by Jim
See if you can guess where this Carnival was plagiarized from! Lifted completely without attribution, just like @PastorMark does it! It's the 'Let's Find the Source!' game!
We're in recovery mode, and we want links to read. What are we recovering from? Classes are speeding toward final exams, for many folks graduation draweth nigh, the smell of intellectual rigor still lingers in the air from the ETS-IBR-SBL blitzkrieg, and our bodies are still coping from what we did to them on Thanksgiving. So what do you need? Links, of course, and a slew of them. That's where I come in. Below you will find a litany of resources from people of various denominations, backgrounds, and theological positions. It's a carnival–the biblical studies kind–so hold on tight and enjoy the brain-feast.
ETS / IBR / SBL
The annual meeting this year was in Baltimore, MD. Cliff Kvidahl posted audio of some sessions, and you can also order MP3s of what went down.
A highly-anticipated panel discussion centered on inerrancy, and Peter Enns reflected on how it went. Questions to and answers from the panelists can be read thanks to a live-blog of the discussion.
Denny Burk and Larry Hurtado each gave their take on the annual meeting as a whole.
Mike Bird wrote some funny stuff before the meetings began, and it's still worth reading even though they're over!
Helpful for future meetings are these thoughts from Fred Sanders on how to give a conference paper (just between you and me, pretend the 2011 date is really 2013).
ANE / OT / INTERTESTAMENTAL LIT

Robert Holmstedt linked to his SBL paper on the linguistic profile of the book of Esther.
Since 2014 is only weeks away, you're probably already planning books you'd like to read, so why not add the Pseudepigrapha to the list? The literature was important for the intertestamental period, and Joseph Kelly has organized a way to read the Pseudepigrapha in a year.
Danny Zacharias tells us about the articles and reviews in the latest Journal of Hebrew Scriptures.

Craig Evans engages the notion that Jesus never existed.
David Capes gives reasons why we should marvel at the genealogy in Matthew 1.
Bosco Peters writes about N. T. Wright and Sola Scriptura. See especially the interesting comments after the article, such as those by Bob McDonald.

Actually, it's Mitch Chase that didn't forget you guys. Jim plagiarized the entire carnival. But yes, it does excite me to see good resources translated into Spanish. You, Luis, are doing great work in that area!
Jim, this was way too easy. The post-conference stuff was an immediate giveaway. You could have been at least a bit smarter in your plagiarism.
