Book Review: Child of a Hidden Sea by A.M. Dellamonica
Title: Child of a Hidden Sea
Author: A.M. Dellamonica
Genre: Contemporary Fantasy, Speculative Fiction
One minute, twenty-four-year-old Sophie Hansa is in a San Francisco alley trying to save the life of the aunt she has never known. The next, she finds herself flung into the warm and salty waters of an unfamiliar world. Glowing moths fall to the waves around her, and the sleek bodies of unseen fish glide against her submerged ankles.
The world is Stormwrack, a series of island nations with a variety of cultures and economies—and a language different from any Sophie has heard.
Sophie doesn't know it yet, but she has just stepped into the middle of a political firestorm, and a conspiracy that could destroy a world she has just discovered… her world, where everyone seems to know who she is, and where she is forbidden to stay.
But Sophie is stubborn, and smart, and refuses to be cast adrift by people who don't know her and yet wish her gone. With the help of a sister she has never known, and a ship captain who would rather she had never arrived, she must navigate the shoals of the highly charged politics of Stormwrack, and win the right to decide for herself whether she stays in this wondrous world . . . or is doomed to exile.
Stand alone or series: Can be read as a standalone novel (which may turn into a series?)

Why did I read this book: I was sucked in, superficially, by the awesome cover art, and the hidden world aspect of the book. Plus, pirates! Sea-faring fantasy nations! And I've been meaning to try A.M. Dellamonica's work for a while – what better place than to start with this new book?
Experienced diver, marine biologist, and adopted daughter Sophie Hansa has always felt something missing from her life. At twenty-four-years old, Sophie has managed to finally track down her biological birth mother – unfortunately, it's not the joyous, or even civil, reunion she'd envisioned. Rejected but not ready to give up, Sophie follows her mother and stumbles across a woman who she believes to be her biological aunt getting beat up by some thugs. When Sophie steps into the fray, she finds herself whisked away, afloat in the middle of a strange sea, with native bioluminescent wildlife the likes of she's never seen on Earth. Soon, Sophie discovers that this strange land of impoverished villagers and weather-worn sailors is not of her own world. This is a land called Stormwrack, a world of island nations of varied cultures, beliefs, and, yes, impossible magic.
More importantly, Sophie discovers that she is born of this world – that her biological mother exiled her when she was born, for reasons unbeknownst to Sophie. Now, with the help of a newfound younger sister Verena (also of Stormwrack), her aunt's vessel, ship captain and crew, as well as her own adopted brother Bram (from San Francisco), Sophie must unravel the mystery of her lineage and the political machinations that threaten to destroy her world.
The first book in what might possibly become a series, Child of a Hidden Sea is the delightful, engaging new fantasy novel from A.M. Dellamonica. The book makes unabashed use of familiar fantasy standbys – the hidden world access by a portal trope (see: Narnia, Harry Potter, and many other examples), a favorite of mine – and it does by these tropes very, very well. I loved the juxtaposition of San Francisco and Stormwrack, particularly the technological quirks that meant some items would work in the fantasy world (Sophie's camera could take and retain pictures, for example, but her phone could not find any signal when there). While I wish there was a little more detail given to the actual mechanics of the portal that would transport one from one world to the other, the rest of the worldbuilding elements were so strong as to make up for that one tiny nitpick. I loved the seafaring nations of Stormwrack, from the many ships and federated fleets patrolling its waters, to the different cultures, beliefs, and socio-economic divides that separate the different island nations of this fantastical world. This, plus the political machinations that are unveiled as Sophie unwittingly inherits her role as heir and courier, make Child of A Hidden Sea a memorable, fast-paced adventure on strange high seas.
OH, and that's to say nothing of the magical systems in this book! The concept of inscribing magic by using focused intent on objects and people is a fantastic touch – I also very much appreciate the rules that Dellamonica imposes on magic use in this world. (For example, while Sophie can be inscribed upon to learn Fleetspeak, she cannot easily read the language, too.) The idea that magic use extolls a price on the person being magicked also is a fantastic touch that I appreciated very much.
On the character front, Child of A Hidden Sea also excels. Protagonist Sophie is sympathetic and genuine, and her motivation to learn more about her origins and her family comes across as wholly believable. Her insecurities when compared to her siblings – her fierce half-sister Verena, and her genius adopted brother Bram – only enhance Sophie's sympathetic nature, as she struggles with her own feelings of inadequacy and confidence. Too, I loved the trhread of family throughout the book – for all her insecurity, the bond between Sophie and her siblings is strong and grows more powerful throughout the book, just as she discovers who she really is and why she has been sent away by her birth parents.
Ultimately, Child of A Hidden Sea is a fantastic journey of self-discovery and coming of age, all set against a vibrant fantasy world backdrop. I thoroughly enjoyed Child of A Hidden Sea and hope that there is more from Sophie in the future. In other words: definitely recommended.
Notable Quotes/Parts: From Chapter 1:
Sinking.
Sophie Hansa had barely worked out that she was falling before she struck the surface of an unknown body of water.
First, there'd been a blast of wind. A tornado? Rushing air, pounding at her eardrums, had plucked her right off the ground. Howling, it had driven her upward, pinwheeling and helpless, over the rooftops of the houses and shops, carrying her up above the fog, in a cloud of grit and litter, trashcan lids, uprooted weeds, discarded heroin needles, and a couple very surprised rats.
She remembered pain as something tangled and wrenched her arm. Then the upward thrust of wind blew itself out, taking with it the sunlight above. One second she was flying and sunblind. The next, she was plummeting, dead weight in the dark.
Terror jolted through her. She drew breath to scream, only to feel the spank of the sea, a wet fist of concrete between her shoulder blades, stinging even as it slowed her fall. She plunged beneath the waves, head first.
This, at least, was her element. Despite the fear and disbelief—the ocean? I made it to the water?—she instinctively held her breath as she went under.
Reaching out with the grace of long practice, arms extended, her body twisted to break her downward momentum.
A jerk—the arm—brought the motion short. Weight pulled her downward. The nylon strap of her camera case, looped around her wrist, had snagged something heavy.
She tried to slide it off, but there was no slack. Instead, she yanked up her skirt with her free hand, clearing her legs and scissor-kicking for the surface. One, two. For a frightening moment, she made no headway. Then she, the camera case, and whatever it had hooked all started moving upward. Sophie broke water, blowing to clear her nose and mouth, inhaling deeply.
Taste of salt, definitely not some lake …
"Help," she shouted. "Hello?"

That sounds promising! And a similar twist to Sasharia en Garde, which I really liked, by Sherwood Smith. I had been wondering about what this author did with it and was looking forward to your review.
Wow, Child of the Hidden Sea sounds like a great fantasy story! Of course the world building seems really thought out, and that's as much as you can ask from a fantasy novel. However, it does seem a bit 'Chosen One'-y, which – for me – puts it down a notch.
Oh, I just finished this one! It was a lot of fun, too. And, without being too spoilery, I quite liked the way the heir-and-prophecy angle was resolved.
I also liked Sophie's use of our-world/outworld technology. In so many books, technology doesn't work around magic because it just doesn't. Here, it works like you would expect– it works as long as the batteries hold out! And Sophie takes full advantage.
I hope there is a sequel, because there are some unresolved plot threads.

I liked this book so much, I wanted much more of the world and characters
@Estara Swanberg — heh, I was looking at this one today and thinking exactly the same thing! Even the cover screams "Sherwood Smith" to me.

I, too, am being pulled in by that lovely cover. Glad to read that it's a good read too, though!

'Biden Five' Exposed
Veterans Group Blasts 'Selfish' Elizabeth Warren for Putting Illegal Aliens First
Adelle Nazarian
Last week, members of the group Veterans Assisting Veterans (VAV) penned an open letter to "all Americans" criticizing Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and many of her fellow Democrats for their support of illegal immigrants and calling for these politicians to put United States veterans first.
"Senator Warren and others like her should know the difference between legal and illegal activity and chose instead to act out negatively in selfish political theater," the letter reads. It asks, "Where's your rally for US Veterans, Senator Warren?" The group wrote they are "deeply troubled by the continued lack of prioritization by some prominent elected members of our government."
John MacDonald, a board member and VAV spokesman, signed the letter. He and fellow VAV member Dennis Moschella appeared on "Fox & Friends Weekend" Sunday and were invited back on again Monday morning. During Sunday's interview, MacDonald reminded Warren, "Illegal immigrants didn't vote for her."
According to the Boston Herald, the group has funded the purchase of all-terrain wheelchairs for local veterans and horse therapy at Ironstone Farm in Andover, Massachusetts.
"A message we have for every politician in this country: There are between 15 and 20 million veterans," MacDonald said in Monday's interview. "If we get all our veterans together, people that are serving currently in the armed forces, and call our representatives, we have an unbelievable voting bloc."
The letter also criticizes Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA), Reps. Michael Capuano (D-MA) and Seth Moulton (D-MA), and Boston's Democrat Mayor Martin Walsh for not doing enough for veterans issues. Moulton served in the Iraq War.
The sole Republican mentioned in the letter is Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). "Even Republican Senator and US Veteran John McCain has seemed to forget about his fellow veterans and the deep troubles at the VA… and its extremely sad," the letter notes.
Last December, Breitbart News reported that some employees at the hospice unit of the Veterans Affairs medical center (VAMC) in Bay Pines, Florida, left the body of a deceased veteran in a shower room for over nine hours.
In 2015, a damning report published by the Inspector General for Veterans Affairs revealed that a number of former combatants' claims-related documents at the Los Angeles VA Regional Office (VARO) were placed in employee shred boxes without being processed.
All but one of the documents labeled for shredding had the potential to affect veterans' benefits.
According to the Boston Herald, Warren spokeswoman Lacey Rose said the well-being of veterans is of "utmost importance" to the senator. "She also knows that standing up for our veterans and rejecting President Trump's unlawful, immoral, and irresponsible attacks on immigrants are not mutually exclusive issues."

Neodymium carbonicum: To represent her total self
de Sonja Obbink
Annabel, Representing her total self
In October of 2006 I saw Annabel for the first time. She was then a woman of 26 years, fragile but still with a tough constitution.
She had done masters studies for 2 years: women studies and English language and literature.
She had struggled with panic attacks for a year.
With an attack she hyperventilates. Her hands become very wet from perspiration.
But especially she suffers from her thoughts:
I cannot do anything. I'm worthless. I'm not intelligent enough.
I cannot understand why they ever accepted me as a student.
In a word she is very stressed. The reason why it started at just this moment is she has to write essays for both studies.
Writing is the problem. She ended up in a complete writer's block.
The essay is such a big thing for her. All aspects of her life had to be expressed in the essay in their true perspective; everything in correct proportions.
The essay has to represent her total self.
What a big weight! She collapses under that load.
Then the fear comes that she can't find the right words and is not be able to express her meaning.
She has the feeling everything she writes is not clear. She doesn't even know her point. "Why I should try? Nobody understands me. Everybody thinks I am stupid."
Then comes the panic: who am I? And she loses herself.
She also had panic attacks when she was 15 years old.
She also had hyperventilation and vertigo at that time.
She was overtired. She had mononucleosis and missed a great part of the school year, but she would not repeat her class. So she worked very hard at school. Beside that she danced semi-professionally and she had a job. Everything had to be done, because then people would see her and people would want to accept her. Then she had worth being there.
When she was16 years old, she had anorexia. In that way she wanted to prove that she was good enough, was worth being beloved, and show the world she had SELF-CONFIDENCE, SELF-DISCIPLINE and SELF-CONTROL.
For months the only food she ate was 1 apple a day. Her weight declined to 41 kilos. She had no energy to bicycle up a little hill. Finally she went to the general practitioner and she got help in a therapy group.
She is very powerful, strong willed.
She is independent, accepts no support from surroundings, and she earns her own money.
There is a strong urge to be perfect, but she cannot receive compliments. She often feels inferior to other people, such as, her girlfriend who is getting her doctors degree.
If she cannot write, all other things are worthless, or at least don't mean anything. she focuses everything on the essay.
It matters that she dances on a high level. Anyone can organize summer school.
She only wants to be a good girl. Acceptance is important.
Her 'father' was a Scot, and died in 2001. Her mother is a Dutch woman.
When she was 10 years, she heard her father was not her biological father.
Her mother was inseminated with donor seed. She was glad of that, because her father was very aggressive. He abused her when she was 5 and 6 years old. She fled with her mother to Holland when she was 8 years old.
She has a relationship with an Italian woman, who is very clever. That woman is now busy getting her doctors degree. Before that, the woman finished all her studies cum laude and that makes Annabel jealous: that's she wants for herself. Her friend is so high in the hierarchy and where is she? Now she has a relationship with a woman. A man could also be possible. The sex is not important. It has to match on a spiritual level.
She suffers from nightmares. She is in the middle of a circle, surrounded by people who are important to her. They say she is stupid and laugh at her. She becomes smaller and smaller. She feels deceived: How is this possible? We have always had a good relationship and now you do this to me.
When she has had such a dream she suffers a whole day with feelings of humiliation.
The basic problem for this woman is how to represent her total self in the essay. The stress for this blocks her, so she cannot write.
She is a special woman, not common. In the way she appears, acts, and in doing two studies. She is an intelligent woman.
She looks like she is very tough.
To prove that she is good and worth being beloved is an issue for her.
Self-confidence and self-discipline are other items that are important to her.
And the essay has to represent her total SELF.
She has her goal. It's terrible but she has started.
Solanaceae: panic, but I missed the fears, the intensity, the violence
Silver series: problems with expression in writing
Phosphorus salts: fear to be stupid, a problem with study
Sulphur salts: jealous of her partner
Carbon salts: self-worth
Lanthanides in general
Reflection, inner world
Brain: 2 studies
Self, doesn't accept help, no compliments
Represent her total self
Free in choice of relationship with a man or woman, only character tells
Study in the finishing year, but the beginning of the writing period
To prove
Lanthanides Stage 6
Initiation of the proof of her personal intellectual work
Worth, the essay has to prove her worth
Feels small
Problems with father when she was 6 years old!
Prescription: Neodymium carbonicum
Short after taking the remedy she became warm and energy streamed through her body. She felt quieter, more confident. It was more clear to her what she can do and what not. She doesn't persevere in negative thoughts.
Once she fainted in the same way as when she had anorexia.
And once she suffered from a panic attack, not in relation to writing, but because of the atmosphere, the warmth.
The writers' block was removed. She writes a lot, in a more relaxed way. It doesn't feel so heavy anymore.
She can better accept compliments. She is not thinking, "my essay will not succeed, so I'm a good-for-nothing girl. I am worth nothing."
With her girlfriend it is easier. She can listen better and is not jealous anymore. The relationship is more relaxed and there is more harmony.
Nightmares:
Where she suffered the whole day after such a dream in the past, it now takes a few minutes and she can go on.
I decided to go further with the same remedy, each month one dose.
After 4 months the writing is not the problem anymore. The fear is gone. She was not content with her mentor and searched for another. She succeeds and is very proud of that. Eight months after the beginning she finished her essays very easily.
Before the remedy she felt a big stone in her belly when she had to write. It was such an unbearable load. But after the remedy she wrote with a great ease: the chapters flew from her pen.
And her thoughts about the essay are totally different: "The essay says nothing about me, tells nothing about who I am. It's just a product, not a representation of my total self."
To write the essays was just a piece of cake.
Marked with a 9 and 8,5!
She feels FREE.

De Ichthyornithidae is een familie van uitgestorven vogels die bekend zijn van fossielen uit lagen van het Santonien tot het eind van het Maastrichtien. Een typisch kenmerk van deze familie is dat de vogels nog tanden hadden. Anders dan de Hesperornithiformes maar net als bij de Enantiornithes waren de vleugels bij de leden van de Ichthyornithidae volledig ontwikkeld en waren het goede vliegers.

De familie werd in 1873 door Othniel Charles Marsh benoemd om de in 1872 benoemde Ichthyornis een plaats te geven. Dit was de het typegeslacht omdat het het eerst ontdekte en lange tijd ook het enige geslacht van de familie was. Uiteindelijk kreeg de familie meer leden zoals Ambiortus en Apatornis, maar deze bleken later nauwer verwant aan Gansus en werden dus buiten de Ichthyornithidae geplaatst.

Sinds 2002 heeft de Ichthyornithidae een mogelijk nieuw lid uit Nederland. Dit in Limburg gevonden lid is nog niet benoemd en was de eerste vondst van de Ichthyornithidae uit Europa op enkele mogelijke resten van een Ichthyornis dispar uit Roemenië na. Verder was het opvallend dat dit een vondst uit het Maastrichtien was. Ichthyornis zelf was voorheen alleen bekend van fossielen van lagen uit het Santonien tot het Campanien. Sommige onderzoekers hebben betwijfeld of de beperkte resten werkelijk van een ichthyornithide zijn.

Home Insurance: Who Picks Up The Tab For Sandy?
> Sandy One Year Later Oct 29, 2013 2:10 PM
By Virginia Garrison
A ferocious storm has gouged out the cliff below your beach house, leaving it dangling above the surf. Who's going to fix the problem—or, rather, who's going to pay to fix it?
Private homeowner's insurance is available for oceanfront homes, with premiums typically pegged at 50 to 80 cents per $100 of the value of the house. The insurance premium on a home with a replacement cost of $5 million, then, would be between $25,000 and $40,000 per year, according to one source in the industry.
But having homeowner's insurance doesn't necessarily mean you're in the clear after a storm like Sandy has swept through town.
"There are two perils you're concerned about in a hurricane," explained George Yates of Dayton Ritz & Osborne Insurance of East Hampton and Bridgehampton. The first is wind damage, which is typically covered under an at-risk homeowner's insurance only after a hefty hurricane deductible—an additional out-of-pocket amount during actual hurricane events, hovering near 5 percent of the dollar value of the home, or about $50,000 for a $1 million house, in these parts—has been met. "And that's a big number for people to absorb," Mr. Yates said.
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced on Monday that insurance providers will not be allowed to apply the deductible this time around "because Sandy did not have sustained hurricane-force winds when it made land in New York." So homeowners will be in the clear on that account—at least this time around.
There is another "peril" in a hurricane, Mr. Yates pointed out—damage caused by flooding. Flooding is normally excluded from the coverage in a homeowner's policy; rather, flood insurance is sold to some homeowners through a subdivision of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, with the payout risk borne by the federal government. In "high-hazard" zones, homeowners might be required by their mortgage holders to take out flood insurance, although those in low-hazard zones are typically not forced to buy it.
Even for those with flood insurance, however, the maximum FEMA payout is only $250,000 for a house and $100,000 for its contents—relatively small change for waterfront real estate on Long Island's South Fork.
In addition, most flood policies provide little coverage for below-ground-level damage, like "water in your basement," according to Kathy Weinheimer, senior vice president of industry relations for the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of New York. Nor does FEMA provide assistance for damage to beaches, dunes, or underwashed waterfront properties. "Land itself is typically not something that can be insured," Ms. Weinheimer said.
"Excess flood insurance," which covers certain losses beyond the maximum amount that FEMA will pay out, is sometimes offered through private insurance carriers, although the premiums for that tend to be high. "Typically, they do pay a lot of money," Mr. Yates said of those who subscribe to it, but he called it "a good investment." Private carriers are selective about whom they will cover with excess insurance, according to Mr. Yates.
"A typical homeowner's policy would not cover land," Ms. Weinheimer said. "It's really intended for the building structure itself. It's physical property versus the land."
Both Ms. Weinheimer and Mr. Yates said that most homeowner's insurance policies would not be likely to cover damage to landscaping in a storm. "If you just have a tree down in your yard, you're pretty much on your own to pick that up," Ms. Weinheimer said. "If it falls on your house—there might be some coverage under that aspect; it depends on your coverage," she said.
Likewise, Ms. Weinheimer said, "sand erosion is not really an insurable risk." In the Hamptons that could mean paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to replenish tens of thousands of yards of lost and precious granules that can sell for about $22 a yard.
"The erosion thing is not a covered situation in either the home or the flood policies," concurred Tim Brenneman of Cook Hall and Hyde in East Hampton. "It's kind of 'buyer beware' when it comes to an oceanfront property," he said.
Mr. Brenneman explained that there are a handful of insurers—Chartis, Fireman's Fund, ACE, PURE and Chubb—that typically seek to insure homes and individuals "with higher-valued properties and all the things that come with them," such as exotic cars, jewelry and artwork. They tend to charge more money but also to have contracts "that are generally a little more generous" in terms of payout ceilings as well as a relatively "no-hassle approach." Even so, Mr. Brenneman said, "it's not that erosion would be covered with Chubb but not with somebody else."
The photos attached to the article are great and illustrate the damage done.
I must point out, however, that the yellow "home" which collapsed is part of a "hotel" which I believe is in Hampton Bays. Additionally, the large "home" listed as being between Quogue and East Quogue is the Neptunes/Drift Nightclub and is also located in Hampton Bays
By Nature (2966), Hampton Bays on Nov 8, 12 12:46 PM
There is one other certainty out of this storm is that all of our premiums will be going up. Hopefully, this increase will be moderate. Unfortunately, as I recall it was after Katrina that most major insurer's dropped clients and Long Island and many residents had to buy more expensive insurance from smaller carriers willing to carry the risk. Will they still be around after this storm? How solvent will they be?

Also within you is a wiser part called Self Two, the Master.
Right now you are reading these lines and maybe you're aware of your thoughts as you read. But it isn't quite that simple, is it? Going on automatically and unconsciously is a complex system of body-mind coordination. Not only are you looking at these words with eyes that are constantly moving, which have muscles operating them that you aren't aware of, but you are also receiving this input from a brain that is firing off neurons in more directions than either of us can imagine. And even as you read, your body is somehow breathing, your heart is pumping, your cells are renewing, and much more. If you suddenly put all of the actions under the control of Self One, you'd probably die.
In short, there is a part of you that can handle major life and death duties. It's Self Two. And this very same part of you can help you compose Hypnotic Writing!
Sound incredible? If so, that's Self One, the doubting Thomas, gagging on the idea of giving up control.
I first experienced the incredible freedom of Self Two writing while at the Option Institute in Sheffield, Massachusetts. I was there to spend a week with Barry Neil Kaufman, author of Son-Rise, Giant Steps, To Love Is to Be Happy With, and several other popular books (all worth reading, by the way).
Each night I would sit at my little desk and record my experiences. Occasionally Self One (the Editor, remember) would whisper in my ear, "Your writing isn't going well, is it?"
But I was relaxed and happy and content to allow myself the freedom to write whatever I wanted. Rather than forcing myself to edit my work as I wrote it, I decided to simply enjoy writing. I let go. And "something else" began to write.
Now this "something else" isn't anything metaphysical. It's simply a wise part of you. When you get out of the way, "it" is there.
The writing happens naturally. Think back to the last conversation you had with someone you liked and felt comfortable with. Didn't you just say the words as they came to you? You didn't think out or plan what you were going to say. You trusted yourself to speak. And you did.
You've written a lot of material in your life, haven't you? You've read a lot of books on writing, and you've read many other books on a wide variety of subjects, right? You've also gone to school, maybe even to college, and you've had many, many (too many?) hours of writing instruction.
You haven't forgotten any of it! It's all in you right now. Self Two, the Master Writer, has absorbed everything. If you let that part of you come out and write, you'll be surprised at the results! You might even be hypnotized by them!
2. Step Two: Be aware of the moment.
3. Step Three: Trust what happens.
Let's take it a step at a time.

Råbelöv Castle () is a manor house in Kristianstad Municipality in Scania,  Sweden.

History
The estate was named after the village Råby, where rå stands for a troll, and by stands for a village; löv is an ornamental addition meaning a leaf. Danish councilor and war commissioner in Scania   Christoffer Ulfeldt  (1583–1653) had the main building built in 1637. The estate passed to his son Ebbe Christoffersen Ulfeldt (1616–1682) in 1663. After Ulfeldt's death in 1682, Råbelöv passed to his brother-in-law, Swedish military officer Carl Gustaf Skytte  (1647–1717).  In 1782, the estate burned down and the main building was severely damaged. Completely new buildings were subsequently built.

Edwards Lifesciences to argue for expanded Sapien valve use
by Mark Hollmer |
Jun 12, 2012 11:12am
Edwards Lifesciences' ($EW) Sapien transcatheter heart valve has already performed well for the company since it gained an initial FDA approval in November to treat patients with limited classes of stenosis who can't have surgery. But executives want to expand its use to another class of patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis that could handle surgery. At stake is a $2.5 billion transcathether valve market in the U.S. alone, according to a Canaccord Adams estimate cited by Bloomberg.
All of that starts coming to a head on June 13, when the company gets to make its case for expanded approval before the FDA's Circulatory System Devices Panel, which will recommend whether or not regulators should use the valve as an alternative to surgery. Regulators don't have to follow the panel's decision, but they almost always do.
In advance of the hearing, FDA scientists have pointed to at least one area of concern. According to Bloomberg, they believe the way the company chose patients and categorized them for a clinical trial included some bias. As a result, they argue, deciding whether the device can serve as a viable alternative to surgery may not be easy.
Another point of concern, as Bloomberg points out: FDA staff noted that patients treated with Sapien faced twice the stroke risk in the initial month after the implant procedure, compared to patients who had open-heart surgery instead.
The FDA wants the company to commit to a long-term follow up, post-approval study that tracks patients for at least 5 years to address its concerns. Edwards appears to be on the same page, having proposed a post-approval study that would follow patients from its pivotal trial, as well as a new patient registry, according to the story.

Ban on gay adoptions upheld by U.S. panel
Four gay men lost a federal challenge Wednesday to the nation's only state law banning all homosexuals from adopting children.
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the Florida men, who are foster parents seeking to adopt children in their care in spite of the law passed in 1977, during the heyday of Anita Bryant's campaign against antidiscrimination laws for gays.
"Obviously, we're crushed," said Paul Cates with the American Civil Liberties Union's Lesbian and Gay Rights Project.
Gov. Jeb Bush said he was pleased by the ruling.
Florida is the only state with a complete ban on adoption by gays or bisexuals, whether couples or single. The law has withstood several challenges in state courts.
In court filings, the state said it prefers to place children in homes with both mothers and fathers and stabilized by long-term marriage.
"In such homes, children have the best chance to develop optimally, due to the vital role dual-gender parenting plays in shaping sexual and gender identity and in providing heterosexual role modeling," the state said.
The three-judge panel in Atlanta said the issue was properly before the Legislature rather than the appeals court.
"The state of Florida has made the determination that it is not in the best interests of its displaced children to be adopted by individuals who "engage in current, voluntary homosexual activity,' and we have found nothing in the Constitution that forbids this policy judgment," Judge Stanley Birch wrote in a unanimous decision.
"Any argument that the Florida Legislature was misguided in its decision is one of legislative policy, not constitutional policy," Birch added. "The legislature is the proper forum for this debate, and we do not sit as a superlegislature."
The ACLU argued that Florida has allowed couples with drug and alcohol problems or histories of domestic violence to adopt children. Florida judges also allow some gay couples to become a child's permanent legal guardians, the group noted.
The ACLU contended that a U.S. Supreme Court decision in June that struck down Texas' antisodomy law should have barred discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
"We think the court is wrong in thinking that the Constitution lets the government assume that sexual orientation has anything to do with good parenting," Cates said Wednesday.
Bush said the decision "validates" Florida's conclusion "that it is in the best interest of adoptive children, many of whom come from troubled and unstable backgrounds, to be placed in a home anchored both by a father and a mother."
"Our adoption policies take that important role into account," Bush said in a statement released by his office.
A leader of the conservative civil liberties legal group Liberty Counsel also hailed the ruling.
"In this age of judicial activism, it is refreshing to see a court assume its proper role and allow the people to set family policy," said Mathew Staver, president of the group. "Common sense and human history underscore the fact that children need a mother and a father."
U.S. District Judge James Lawrence King in Miami upheld the 1977 law in an August 2001 ruling that was affirmed Wednesday by the 11th Circuit panel.
Cates said the ACLU will decide in about a week whether to ask the full appeals court to consider the issue.
Edward Schiappa, a University of Minnesota law professor who follows gay rights issues, thinks the case is destined for U.S. Supreme Court review. The state will have a hard time defending the law there because of its inconsistent policy allowing gay foster parents while banning gay adoptive parents, he said.
"This has become an extraordinarily hot political button," Schiappa said.
Nationwide, 11 states and the District of Columbia have either passed laws or had appellate court rulings allowing same-sex couples to adopt children. In Georgia, a number of state court judges have approved gay parent adoptions. Mississippi and Utah ban adoptions by same-sex couples, but not by gay individuals.
Last August the California Supreme Court became the latest court to guarantee the rights of gay couples to adopt children. Second-parent adoption, the court said, can secure the benefits of "legally recognized parentage for a child who otherwise must remain a legal stranger."
On the heels of that decision, the American Bar Association's governing body approved a resolution calling on the group to support state laws and court rulings that permit joint and second-parent adoptions by unmarried people.

'We're going to get through this,' Ensminger said after learning his daughter-in-law died
Glenn Guilbeau
Lafayette Daily Advertiser
ATLANTA — At 12:30 p.m. Saturday, LSU football coach Ed Orgeron told his offensive coordinator, Steve Ensminger, that Ensminger's 30-year-old daughter-in-law, Carley McCord, had died in a plane crash in Lafayette that killed five others.
"We're going to get through this," Ensminger told Orgeron.
Ensminger, visibly shaken throughout the day, decided to go ahead and coach in the 3 p.m. national semifinal game between No. 1 LSU and No. 4 Oklahoma that the Tigers won 63-28 behind 692 yards of offense and a record smashing seven touchdown passes by quarterback Joe Burrow.
No. 1 LSU (14-0) will play No. 3 Clemson (14-0) for the national championship on Jan. 13 at 7 p.m. in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Clemson beat Ohio State, 29-23, on Saturday night.
"There was a tragedy that happened in Coach Ensminger's family today," Orgeron said in the post game press conference. "Obviously, he was distraught, but he called a great game today. So, just goes to show you his integrity and the grit and character."
Ensminger never considered not coaching Saturday, Orgeron said.
"There was no question," he said. "He didn't hesitate."
LSU's players did not learn the tragic news until after the game.
"I didn't want the team to know," Orgeron said. "I didn't want it to affect the team – the mindset of the football team, the energy of the football team. Neither did Steve. We tried to keep it from them."
Opinion: LSU looks unbreakable
Coaches and family members have frequently held back bad news from athletes before a game when possible. Some LSU players did learn of the crash before the game, but most did not.
"I found out about it in the post-game interview," Burrow said. "Nobody said anything about it until then."
Wide receiver Justin Jefferson also learned of the news after the game and immediately praised Ensminger for being able to still coach.
"Just the fact that he still stuck with the game and still called a great game means a lot for the players," Jefferson said. "I feel sad for him, sorry for his loss. But, we're all there with him."
McCord, a native of Baton Rouge, had been married to Ensminger's son, Steve Ensminger Jr., for less than two years. Their two-year anniversary is in January. She was a blossoming sports television journalist and worked a lot with the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in Natchitoches.
LSU Offense: Records upon records
Doug Ireland, executive director of the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame, knew McCord since she was a student at Northwestern State University.
"From her days as an ambitious student, Carley had a vision of her career and a joyful, fearless approach," Ireland said Saturday. "It wasn't a 'dream.' She knew what she wanted and realized dues needed to be paid, work had to be done, and she had to keep improving and learning. She lived every day with such incredible passion and worked with great purpose."
She interviewed and introduced inductees to the Sports Hall of Fame during its ceremony each summer.
"Carley embraced every opportunity she earned, which was obvious no matter whether the cameras and microphone were on or off," Ireland said. "She was excited to join the Hall of Fame team and immediately made us better. Anyone she interviewed or encountered had their day enriched. This tragedy is so agonizing on so many levels, but true to form, Carley's last Instagram post gives us a path to follow. I'm blessed to have had her in my world."
Carley's last message before the flight Saturday morning was this, according to several close to her:
"Only rainbows. After rain, the sun will always come again."


WASHINGTON (JTA) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was one of 13 world leaders that President Obama called to thank for congratulatory messages following his reelection.
"In each call, he thanked his counterpart for their friendship and partnership thus far and expressed his desire to continue close cooperation moving ahead," the White House said Thursday in a statement.
In his own statement, Netanyahu said he told Obama that his reelection was "a vote of confidence in your leadership."
Netanyahu and Obama have had a relationship notable both for enhanced defense cooperation between their countries and for some tense periods, particularly over Israel's settlement building and what red lines are appropriate in dealing with Iran.
Middle Eastern leaders in addition to Netanyahu who were called included President Mohamed Morsi of Egypt, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey and King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.
The Obama administration is coordinating closely with Turkey on how to deal with the unrest in Syria, and Saudi Arabia, like Israel, is a principal regional ally in the bid to isolate Iran until it stands down from a suspected nuclear weapons program.
Obama is navigating an uneasy course with Morsi, the former Muslim Brotherhood leader who has demonstrated ambivalence if not hostility toward sustaining the peace treaty with Israel.
The other leaders on Obama's call list mostly included allies, including from Germany, France and Britain, as well as the secretary-general of the NATO alliance.

Facebook's cryptocurrency could be announced next week with major partners
June 18, 2019 12:40·
REVEALED The giant companies paying $10m for Facebook crypto nodes
On paper, cryptocurrencies, which are built on the ledger-based blockchain system, provide a lot of the values Facebook is looking for, such as immutable data and a transaction system where all parties must verify a payment before it's completed. RBC also said that the social media giant has "crypto opportunity" and told investors that the firm will touch new highs in the future with the upcoming cryptocurrency announcement.
Facebook won't directly control the coin, nor will any individual backer of the group, known as the Libra Association.
The project is set to raise $1 billion, and already has some major backers in the form of Uber, Paypal, and Visa.
Social media platform Facebook has reportedly secured support from dozens of players in the cryptocurrency and blockchain sector for its forthcoming digital currency.
Partners include Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Uber, Stripe, and Booking.com, willing to invest $ 10 million each to join the Libra Association, a consortium that should remain independent of Facebook.

More news: Iran gives Europe 10 days to save the nuclear deal
The cryptocurrency, which will reportedly be called Libra, will be unveiled on June 18th, according to TechCrunch, with a full release planned for 2020.
With Argentina-based e-commerce site MercadoLibre, fintech company Stripe and hotel-reservation website Booking.com having already signed up for the project, Facebook is reportedly planning to go worldwide.
According to RBC Capital Markets analysts Mark Mahaney and Zachary Schwartzman, the move from Facebook "may prove to be one of the most important initiatives in the history of the company to unlock new engagement and revenue streams".
Libra is expected to function as a stable coin as it will be pegged to a basket of USA government issued currencies in order to limit the volatility that is associated with cryptocurrencies. With the company's plans to soon step into the crypto arena, the latest buzz tells us more about Facebook's new venture.
Naturally, the project has caught the attention of regulators around the world due to the sheer scale of Facebook's user demographics.

Arne Pander (12. juli 1931 - 22. maj 2015) var en dansk speedwaykører, der var danmarksmester i denne sportsgren i 1956 og 1958, hvorpå han blev professionel i England og kørte for det lokale hold i Oxford i perioden 1959-1969. Med dette hold blev han engelsk mester i 1964.

Arne Pander hed egentlig Arne Kristensen, men fik tilnavnet Pander, der på en lidt forvansket måde hentydede til hans udseende, idet han relativt lille (166 cm), men havde en smidig krop og i øvrigt altid kørte iført en sort dragt, så han dermed lignede en panter. Han debuterede på Hinge-banen ved Silkeborg 1. juli 1951 og var snart efter en af landets bedste kørere. Inden han blev professionel, var han et stort trækplaster på de danske baner, blandt andet på hjemmebanen i Sinding ved Herning, lige som han tre år i træk vandt Elektrolløbet på Charlottenlund Travbane tre år i træk (1956-1958).. Pander havde ambitioner om at blive verdensmester og rejste derfor til England for at blive professionel. I det første år i Oxford lå han som nummer ni på verdensranglisten, og året efter rykkede han op som nummer fire, men ambitionerne led et knæk, efter at et alvorligt uheld i en holdkamp 1961 gav ham kraniebrud og permanent tab af hørelsen på det ene øre. Han vendte dog tilbage og var klubbens topscorer i adskillige sæsoner, indtil endnu en ulykke i en holdkamp 17. april 1969 satte en stopper for karrieren.

Pander kom til verden i Balle ved Silkeborg og voksede op i Herning. Han fik motorcyklerne tæt ind på livet fra barnsben, da hans far havde et motorcykelværksted i Herning, og her kom sønnen i lære som mekaniker. Da han blev professionel, flyttede han til England og forblev der resten af sine dage. Efter afslutningen af karrieren havde han blandt andet en pub, og i en periode arbejdede han som mekaniker på Lotus-fabrikken. Han var gift fire gange og havde fem børn.

The End of Game of Thrones - Sebuah Renungan Ramadhan
A few hours before the final episode of Game of Thrones airs, I find myself reflecting. Despite fans' mixed feelings about how the final season was written, we have surely witnessed one of the greatest productions in the history of television. That alone makes me grateful. What a time to be alive.
Even though the show constantly promotes things I am normally against (drinking problems, slavery, incest, forced arranged marriages, killing people for power, etc.), I have a tremendous admiration towards the show because it reminds me of the very core of everything : that all thing must come to an end and that nothing is going to stay here forever.
Thrones fandom by now are fully aware of the phrase "Valar Morghulis", which in High Valyrian translates to all men must die. This customary saying is traditionally answered with "Valar Dohaeris" which means all men must serve. Even though this exchange has a more barbaric-violent tone when used in the show, I really deem it to be an honorable way to live one's life.
We humans will definitely come to an end someday (to die), and while we're still here, shouldn't we keep asking ourselves how we can serve? How am I going to become beneficial for other people today? How do we serve the world (to the best of our ability) and make sure that our life doesn't just mean nothing?
Beric Dondarrion and Melisandre The Red Priestess, though were not major characters like Daenerys and Jon Snow, really captured my heart when they both came to an end.
Lord Beric had died a few times by impaling, an arrow, hanging, and more. He was resurrected time and time again by Thoros which made him kind of question what it was so special about him that his God of Light kept bringing him back. Of course at the Battle of Winterfell we learnt that his one true purpose was to protect Arya Stark, who went on and slayed the Night King once and for all. After serving his purpose, he came to face his seventh and final death honorably.
Melisandre, on the other hand, seemed to have this magic quality of not aging and live such a looooong life. In one of the Season 6 episodes we saw her take off her ruby necklace, when her illusion of beauty disappeared and her true form of many centuries old woman was revealed.
When one is faced with this kind of destiny, don't you think they will ask themselves everyday: what is it that I am meant to do? Why have I been given the chance to live this long? I have to admit I never really liked her character because I think she's a little too fanatic to her religion. But when I saw her riding a horse at Winterfell, just minutes before the battle began to literally set swords on fire, I was screaming out of happiness. Yes girl!!!
Her appearance in Winterfell was definitely why she stuck around for centuries. Just as she told Ser Davos that she would die before dawn, there she was striding out of the gates of Winterfell and discarding her ruby necklace. This time to face her own ending, knowing that her purpose was served.
These two really teach me that our time in this world may be limited, but it is not up for ours to decide when it will come to an end. Sick people may think there is no cure for them and they will kiss the world goodbye in a few months, when surprisingly they go on to live for another five years. Healthy people may think they still have forever, when all of sudden they have to go just because it's their time to go.
Beric Dondarrion and Melisandre teach me to live bravely. To wake up every morning to find my one true purpose and go after it.
But if there is one thing I will always carry from the Thrones wholeheartedly, it must be Ygritte saying "If we die, we die, but first we live". I want to always have her spirit. Yes, death is inevitable. We all will see one, it's just a matter of when-where-and how. But while we are given another day to live, why do we choose to worry how it's going to end? Why don't we choose to really live?

She has a wealth of experience teaching a wide range of fitness classes, both at home here in Ireland, and overseas, most notably in South Africa, where she ran a successful outdoor Boot Camp between 2006 & 2008.
As a personal trainer, Lynn has been instrumental in helping many clients on the road to attaining their own fitness goals.
Although Lynn has only recently discovered the myriad benefits of Pilates, she is now passionate about practicing and teaching, having qualified in both mat and reformer this year under the expert guidance of Anne!
I am really thrilled to be able to say I am now part of Anne's pilates team, & this marks the start of a new & exciting chapter for me. I am looking forward to getting to know the clients in both Roundwood & Greystones, & helping them on their own individual journeys to better health, fitness & body awareness.
What I love about pilates is that it really is suitable for all abilities – everyone should practice because everyone benefits; & these benefits include: improved posture & alignment, increased lean muscle tissue, better flexibility, breath control, concentration.
There is real satisfaction gained from mastering exercises that were challenging to begin with. Equally, seemingly straightforward exercises are often really deceptive in their complexity. Nothing should ever feel 'easy' once the right focus & concentration is applied.
After almost 20 years working in the fitness industry, Pilates definitely feels like the way forward for me & my body; & I hope to be able to share my enthusiasm with others and empower people through Pilates, the way Pilates has empowered me.

Applications are now being accepted for the Summer 2019 Environmental Award, for those students graduating at the July 2019 ceremonies. Applications close 09:00 07 June 2019.
The Environmental Award aims to highlight student work being done across the University of Brighton with an environmental theme, and award students who have completed a final year project or dissertation which addresses and provides a solution to an environmental issue.
The Award is supported by the University of Brighton Environment Team in cooperation with the School of Environment and Technology, the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences, the School of Art Design and Media, the School of Health Sciences, the School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematics, Brighton Business School, the Centre for Learning and Teaching and the Green Growth Platform, representatives from which sit on the Award panel. The Award is presented twice in the academic year, at the Summer and Winter graduation ceremonies.
The criteria for the Environmental Award are not strictly related to academic excellence and the Award seeks to recognise bright and innovative ideas that show consideration of an environmental issue and provide a solution.
There is a £200 cash prize for the winner and they will also be presented with a certificate at their Graduation ceremony.
Find out more about previous award winners here.
There are two opportunities to apply for the award during the academic year, to coincide with students finishing their degrees and graduating in July/August or February.
The award is open to all students who have completed a final year project/ dissertation/ thesis as part of their degree and are graduating in summer 2019. Students who have completed a piece of work as a group are also welcome to apply and the prize money would be split between the group upon winning.
Projects can be from all academic areas of the university including and may include (but are not limited to) novel scientific or engineering solutions, new business paradigms, suggested societal interventions and behaviour change projects.
Submissions can be made by the student themselves or by their supervisor at any point before the deadline. If the submission is made by the supervisor, up to date contact details of the student must be provided.
The Environmental Award is not an academic award. Therefore the award panel will not be looking for academic excellence but will focus on how the work addresses and investigates an environmental issue and provides a solution.
The judging panel is a multidisciplinary group of lecturers and professional staff from across the university, who will judge submissions based on the questions below.

High scores will not necessarily be awarded to complex solutions, if they are not appropriate and feasible.
How innovative is the project in comparison to the current solution(s) in the industry? Higher scores will be awarded to work that identifies an innovative and appropriate solution to the issue identified. High scores will not necessarily be awarded to complex solutions, if they are not appropriate and feasible.
