Exports to African and Latin American countries have jumped in the first five months of the fiscal compensating to an extent diminished opportunities in the US and Europe because of a global slowdown.
Exports to Africa between April and August jumped 41.6 per cent to $22.17 billion in a year. Exports to Latin America surged 38 per cent to $8.24 billion during this period, according to the commerce ministry.
Analysts said the shipments to these two continents could increase in the coming years as the country is filling up a gap left by Covid-hit China though this gap right now is very small compared with Chinese trade with these two continents.
These shipments help the different sectors of the Indian economy cope up with the plummeting demand from the US and Europe.
Mineral fuels and oils (mainly refined petroleum) accounted for 19.1 per cent of total exports to Africa, followed by vehicles (10.4 per cent), pharmaceuticals (10.3 per cent) and cereals (8.5 per cent), reflecting a mix of essential and consumer goods.
Data showed that the country's exports to Africa remain concentrated in a few countries with South Africa, Nigeria, Egypt, Togo and Kenya accounting for 50.7 per cent of India's exports implying a need to expand the markets across other countries of the continent.
Ajay Sahai, DG and CEO of Fieo, said: "Since demand for low-value products is growing and India is emerging as a major supplier, driving on rising anti-China sentiments, the loss in exports of high-price or premium segments may be somewhat offset by it."
Analysts said India needs to increase its manufacturing exports to African countries leveraging the opportunity offered by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA)agreement launched on January 1, 2021, offering a market of $3 trillion.
Exports to Latin America surged 53.8 per cent in August to $1.78 billion, primarily to Brazil. Exports to Brazilclimbed a massive 127 per cent in August to $1.12 billion and71 per cent to $4.66 billion in the first five months.
Exports of automobiles to Brazil registered a 43.6 percent increase in the first five months of the current fiscal and it offers a huge opportunity for the engineering sector considering the Latin American country is one of the most prominent automotive markets in the world, EEPC India chairman Arun Kumar Garodia said.
Garodia said that India'sengineering exports to Brazil reached its record high at $1.8billion in 2021-22 witnessing a compounded annual growth of as high as 20 per cent in the last four fiscals.
Meanwhile, exports to India's major markets are showing signs of a slowdown: Exports to the top market US grew just 4.7 per cent in August, while despatches to the EU rose 8 per cent in August.

■ In the same period, exports to Latin America up 38%

Q: how to change website language when clicking the link I want to change the website I am building from English to Spanish. I found a youtube video that explains how to do it but it only changes website language when I click the refresh icon not when I click the link. I want it to change when I click the link. The youtube video is this one
[1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaJrDAmrOB4. The HTML and javascript are below.
Thank you
HTML

English

Spanish

    budget website

javascript
var dataReload = document.querySelectorAll("[data-reload]");
var language = {
    eng:  {
        budgetWebsite: 'budget website'
    },

    es: {
        budgetWebsite: 'Sitio web de presupuesto'
    }
};

if(window.location.hash) {
    if(window.location.hash === "#es") {
        title.textContent = language.es.budgetWebsite;
    }
}

for (i = 0; i <= dataReload.length; i++) {
dataReload[i].onClick = function() {
location.reload(true);
};
}

A: I have taken a look at your problem and the youtube video. And I have come up
with a slightly different approach.
I added the data-change-language attribute to the anchor element and given them the value for the corresponding language.

English

Spanish

    budget website

The JavaScript down below sets the default language to "en". When the page has loaded it will look if the language has been changed before and set it accordingly. Then it will attach an eventlistener to the anchor elements. So whenever someone clicks one of the anchor elements the changeLanguage function is called and the language is saved to the localstorage so if you reload the page or reopen the page the language is still set correctly.
The changeLanguage function iterates over all keys in the languages object and picks out the elements in your page and changes their content.
let currentLanguage = "en";
let languages = {
  en: {
    title: "budget website"
  },
  es: {
    title: "Sitio web de presupuesto"
  }
}

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {
  let storedLanguage = localStorage.getItem("language");
  if (storedLanguage) {
    changeLanguage(storedLanguage)
  } else {
    changeLanguage(currentLanguage)
  }
  [...document.querySelectorAll("[data-change-language]")].forEach((element) =>
 {
      element.addEventListener("click", (event) => {
      event.preventDefault();
      let language = element.getAttribute("data-change-language");
      localStorage.setItem("language", language);
      changeLanguage(language);
    })
  });
});

function changeLanguage(language) {
  let languageSet = languages[language];
  Object.keys(languageSet).forEach((id) => {
    document.getElementById(id).innerText = languageSet[id];
  });
}

Its message is simple; more foster carers are needed to provide children and young people in west Cheshire with a loving and caring home.
Whilst some children will be asking Father Christmas for a list of presents, others just want a place to call home and a foster family to believe in them.
Cheshire West and Chester Council believes that every child deserves the best start in life and is encouraging people that have been considering fostering to make the first step to find out more.
Councillor Nicole Meardon, Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, said: "Every year our Communications team produces a Christmas ecard for staff and members to send out to their contacts, rather than a traditional paper Christmas card. This year we've taken the opportunity to create an ecard that shares the important message that we need to recruit more foster families to help care for some of our most vulnerable children and young people.
Adapted versions of the ecard are being used as part of a wider communication campaign to recruit more foster carers in the borough, with adverts being targeted at audiences on Sky TV, social media and through local radio station Dee 106.3.
Leeann Taylor and her family have been fostering with the Council for four years, she said: "Last year was the first year a foster child was with us over the Christmas period. We got them involved in all of the build-up, preparing for the big day including going to pick our Christmas tree and decorating the house. Although it was a bit overwhelming for them at first, as they'd not experienced it before, it was lovely seeing them starting to get excited about Christmas and for them to be included in our big family get together on the day.

WASHINGTON — The recent plea agreement involving NBA Wizards star Gilbert Arenas created an interesting set of circumstances: His attorney Kenneth Wainstein, a former U.S. Attorney for the District, was up against the office he used to run.
In fact, the acting U.S. Attorney, Channing Phillips, a long time employee of the office, and a faithful Washington Wizards fan, had worked for Wainstein from 2004 to 2006.
So the question is: Did it help for Arenas to have Wainstein, an insider, somebody who knew the system? Somebody who knew office policy and office personalities and what type of pleas had been doled out in many cases in the past?
We may never know for sure, though it appears Arenas didn't get a plea agreement that was outside the norm. He had four guns, but pleaded guilty last Friday to only one count of carrying a pistol without a license. He could get jail time or probation at his sentencing, which is set for March 26 in D.C. Superior Court, the city criminal court. The D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office prosecutes cases in both the city and federal courts.
Phillips and Wainstein declined to comment because the case is ongoing.
But former U.S. Attorney Roscoe Howard, who headed the office from 2001 to 2004, and was Phillips' boss as well, was able to provide some insight, saying it certainly can't hurt to hire someone like Wainstein who has an intimate knowledge of the office.
He said it certainly doesn't mean that Wainstein automatically got a better deal than another defense attorney, but it may have cut down on the get-to-know-you period between both sides and any outlandish demands, which can slow the process.
Former U.S. Atty. Roscoe Howard Jr.
"It's a familiarity situation. 'We know the guy, he knows us'," Howard said of the Wainstein and the U.S. Attorney's Office.
He said sometimes attorneys come from out of state and try to show how tough they are, and that can draw out the plea talks.
"Ken certainly knows the system. He understands what the protocols are what the policies are," Howard said.
He said Wainstein was in all likelihood able to assure his client that he knows the office policies and what's doable and what's not.

This paper addresses the potential of a color infrared aerial photograph to provide spatially distributed information for site specific management. In this process digitized color infrared aerial photographs were used to extract vegetation index information. In addition, important crop and soil information were also collected using a grid sampling technique. Crop and soil information contributing most to explain variability were determined and used in further analysis. Grain yield data obtained using combine sampling were noted along with the coordinate information of the sample points. Locational information were collected using GPS. Kriged surface were generated using soil and crop point sample information. Point information were extracted from each kriged surface using centroid of uniformly spaced grid (15 m cell). Fuzzy k-means with extragrades algorithms were used to delineate potential within-field management units based on soil and crop information and vegetation index separately. Then "goodness" of potential management zones generated using within zone variability of grain yield. Ideal number of zones were determined using the decrease in total within-zone variance. Finally, management zones determined using crop and soil information and vegetation index information were compared for similarity. The methodology is fast, can be easily automated in commercially available GIS software and has considerable advantages when comparing to other methods for delineating within-field management zones.

Asif Ali Zardari and his crime of being a politician
Nawaz Sharif is behind bars. Asif Ali Zardari is arrested. The two big guns of the most popular political parties are penalized on corruption charges. It seems the Game of Thrones of Pakistani politics is heading towards its final showdown.
Decision of the opposition parties to make a united front against the government and the players behind the curtain has raised a lot of eyebrows in the establishment. The Iftar party arranged by Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) last month refreshed the memories of Benazir Bhutto and Mian Nawaz Sharif coming together in London to sign the Charter of Democracy (COD). COD changed the dynamics of Pakistani politics. If PML-N and PPP stays together we are likely to see more arrests of political leaders. Asif Ali Zardari is one of those politicians who could stay in jail without bidding for a deal. His arrest will only make things tougher for the government.
If only politicians are corrupt then their counterparts who ruled with absolute power and control over country's resources could have gotten rid of those undesired politicians and created an economically stable and progressive Pakistan.
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. One needs to understand that a politician never enjoys absolute power. This is the reason why civilized world has moved out of the era of dictators and monarchs. Democracy is the best possible solution that we have today. Parliamentary form of government is a system with checks and balances. It is aimed at curtailing the powers of rulers and to make them accountable before the people.
According to general argument, including the rhetoric of PTI, all problems in the country are due to corrupt politicians and that they have never been accounted for in the country's more than seventy years long history. There is an apparent dichotomy in the argument. If only politicians are corrupt then they could have been lawfully punished by the judiciary. Why Asif Ali Zardari had to spend 11 years of his life in jail without a single conviction?
PTI panics as opposition hints at new Charter of Democracy
Life imprisonment is 14 years long. It counts both days and nights that squeezes it down to 7 years. Zardari has spent almost two life sentences in jail. Did he pay the price of being associated with PPP? Was he used as a target to malign Benazir Governments? If allegations are enough to tag someone as corrupt then we don't need a judicial system. Politicians in Pakistan face media trials that give their verdict of corruption. On the other hand judges of the highest courts find it difficult to convict them. It is important to understand the spirit of justice. It is neither about repute nor about the crime. Justice is about proof and evidence.
Asif Ali Zardari deserves a lot of appreciation for allowing the parliament to take back its powers through 18th amendment. He could have kept those powers to be one of the most powerful presidents in the history of Pakistan but he chose otherwise. We may not compare him with Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto or Benazir but one thing we can certainly say is that he proved himself to be a true torchbearer of the vision of Pakistan Peoples party.

What does Aeneas see in the underworld?
Irene Barnhart
The golden branch is left by Aeneas at the entrance to the joyful region of the Underworld, the Elysian Fields. He and the Sibyl enter the lovely meadows, where the shadows enjoy music, dancing, and athletic competitions. They see their Trojan forefathers as well as brilliant poets. Aeneas recognizes his father, Anchises, and they embrace.
In order to reach the Elysian Fields, Aeneas has to pass through the River Styx, which divides Earth from Hades. The River Styx is very dangerous because it is the boundary between life and death. Whoever crosses it cannot return home until they have satisfied their debts to the gods by performing some great action or offering a sacrifice. Aeneas leaves behind him on earth his wife, Creusa, and son, Ascanius (who will one day be known as Iulus), along with an immortal soul. His body lies in state for three days on the banks of the river before being taken by Hermes to be buried beside Venus on Mt. Ida in central Greece. But first he enjoins his family to fight against mortality by stirring up the ashes of their bones and using them as a foundation to build a city that will become Rome.
After passing through the River Styx, Aeneas arrives at a place where two roads meet. One leads back to the living, but it is not the path he wants to take.
What does Aeneas's father tell him in the underworld?
Who is Aeneas's tour guide in the underworld?
How does Aeneas leave the underworld?
What do the Greeks do when they see Aeneas in the underworld?
What does Aeneas see depicted on the walls of Juno's temple in Carthage?
Following his father's orders, Aeneas travels to the Temple of Apollo, where he encounters the Sibyl, a priestess. She tells him that if the bough readily breaks from the tree, it implies fate has summoned Aeneas to the underworld. If Aeneas is not supposed to go there, the branch will not fall from the tree.
Filled with grief, Aeneas leaves the temple and begins his journey toward the underworld.
Aeneas enters the underworld with the help of the Cumaean Sibyl. They journey through masses of the dead on the banks of the river Acheron, which is ferried over by Charon, before passing through Cerberus, the three-headed gatekeeper of the underworld. After these trials, they arrive at the Elysian Fields, where Aeneas meets his family again. Then Charon takes them to the shore of the afterlife island of Hades.
Charon charges Aeneas and the Sibyl a fee for transporting them across the River Styx. When Aeneas asks what punishment there is in the underworld for those who have done no wrong, Charon tells him that justice is done at a price. If you can pay it, then you will not go to jail; if you cannot, then you will die in a horrible way.
After this warning, Charon never lets them out of his sight until they reach the other side of the river. Once there, he leaves them in the care of Persephone, the queen of the underworld. Aeneas sees an infinite number of rivers and lakes, but always finds himself returning to the same one. At the other side, they meet the ferryman Taphius who takes them to the city of Dis. Here Aeneas spends three days in the kingdom of the dead waiting for Zeus to decide his future.
The moment has come for Aeneas to depart from the Underworld. The underworld has two entrances. The one for actual shadows is the gate of horn, while the other for deceptive dreams is the gate of ivory. Anchises leads Aeneas and the Sibyl out of the Gate of False Dreams. Then they walk through a dark landscape full of dead people. When they reach the end of this valley, they will be in the Land of the Living again.
Aeneas will now have to make a choice: he can stay with his father and take care of him in their old age, or go find another world where they can start a new life. It's a hard decision for any young man, but especially so for Aeneas since he will never see his mother again. But there is still hope for them - Venus, the goddess of love, has promised to help Aeneas find a home for them both.
Venus appears to Aeneas in a dream and tells him that she has found a place in Italy where they can start a new life. Aeneas follows her advice and starts walking towards the west. However, it takes him many years to reach Italy because he has to fight many dangers along the way. Once he finally arrives, he finds a beautiful city where all the people speak Italian. This must be the place where Venus told him about!
AENEAS [e-nee'as], the Roman hero, must travel to the Underworld to meet his loving father, ANCHISES [an-keye'seez]. To do so, he must get a golden twig, which he obtains with the assistance of two doves sent by his mother, Venus. Aeneas then travels through the gates of Hades toward his father.
During his journey, Aeneas meets various people from both ancient Rome and ancient Greece. He explains to them why he is visiting the underworld and asks for help finding his wife, who was taken here by Pluto, king of the Underworld.
After talking with many people, Aeneas finally reaches the palace of Pluto. Here he meets ACTAEON, one of Pluto's sons, who tries to persuade him to join their battle against their uncle ZEUS (who has also come to visit Pluto). But Aeneas refuses and tells Actaeon that he will help find his wife. Then Actaeon offers Aeneas a gift: a sword that will never fail to bring back its owner from the dead. With this sword, Aeneas can free his wife from the Underworld.
Actaeon tells Aeneas that there is only one place where he cannot go and that is into the Underworld itself. So Aeneas goes inside but does not return, and we are left to wonder if he ever did find his wife!
When they enter the temple, they notice that its walls are decorated with ornate panels depicting episodes from the Trojan War, which make Aeneas sad. Aeneas summons Ascanius, whom Venus, knowing that Juno may cause problems again, disguises as her own son, Cupid, the god of love. Aeneas tells him to go to war against Jupiter and ask for one victory only - his own life. If he wins this battle, Aeneas will be blessed with immortality.
Ascanius leaves but not before kissing his father and giving him a special gift: a burning torch, the same kind used by Mercury when he leads armies into battle. This shows that Aeneas will have many adventures but he will always know how to fight back even when it seems there is no hope left.
After sending Ascanius off, Aeneas prays to Venus for help. She appears before him in a dream and tells him that if he follows her instructions, everything will work out fine. Then she disappears.
Aeneas wakes up feeling anxious about what lies ahead. He decides to visit the oracle at Delphic Apollo's temple. There he asks whether he should continue with his mission and his future wife will reply. The priestess tells him that she has an answer for him but he must wait three days because it involves watching his family die first.

Boëlhe is een dorp in de Belgische provincie Luik en een deelgemeente van de gemeente Geer. Het was een zelfstandige gemeente tot het bij de fusie van 1977 toegevoegd werd aan de gemeente Geer.

Boëlhe ligt in het noorden van de gemeente Geer aan de taalgrens. De dorpskom ligt aan de weg van Geer naar Trognée. Boëlhe is een landbouwdorp in Droog-Haspengouw. Er is vooral akkerbouw, veeteelt en fruitteelt. In het noorden van de deelgemeente ligt het gehucht Villereau dat sinds 1977 ervan deel uitmaakt. Voordien vormde het gehucht een exclave van Trognée binnen Boëlhe.

Geschiedenis
Over de geschiedenis van Boëlhe is weinig bekend. Waarschijnlijk was Boëlhe voor de 14de eeuw in kerkelijk bezit omdat er voogden heersten over het dorp. Deze voogden, eerst van de familie Harduemont en vanaf 1451 van de familie Seraing. Sindsdien was het dorp een heerlijkheid dat een leen was van het prinsbisdom Luik. Hun nakomelingen verklaarden zich vanaf de 16e eeuw heren van Boëlhe; in het dorp werd er ook een rechtbank gesticht. De heer van het dorp was dezelfde als deze van Darion en Hollogne-sur-Geer. Deze familie verbleef waarschijnlijk in het Kasteel van Boëlhe. Het is een imposant kasteel met drie hoofdgebouwen geflankeerd door vleugels in verlenging van het oorspronkelijke pand. Het centrale gebouw werd in 1910 fors gewijzigd. De bijgebouwen zijn in Normandische-stijl.

Boëlhe was reeds vroeg een parochie toegewijd aan Sint-Lambertus. Het recht om de pastoor aan te duiden was lange tijd in handen van het kapittel van de Sint-Pauluskerk te Luik.

[DEBUT PREMIERE] Jude Rose – Lose
Jude Rose debuts with the broodingly smooth single "Lose". Floating along with minimalistic production and atmospheric elements, Jude Rose's voice cuts through and glides above it all as a distant piano and pulsing guitar move the song along. Vocal layers ebb and flow, building around heartbreaking melodies that flow effortlessly.
An impressive debut from an artist we'll be sure to keep an eye out for!
In their words:
"Lose started on an acoustic guitar. It started from me learning new Jazz chord voicings. I also wanted to try a 3/4 timing to give it a circular feel. The beat came about because the time signature was unfamiliar. The final beat was my first take. The lyrics and vocal melodies came soon after. I like to come up with lyrics along with the melody. The idea for the song had been floating in my head prior to the studio session. The idea of the chorus promising that 'I won't lose you' and the verses stating all the things I'm okay with losing as long as I can keep you. I tried to keep post production pretty simple because I wanted the song to do the storytelling. This made the mix and master easier as the project only consisted of 7 tracks. I wanted it to feel authentic." -Jude Rose

The Silver Voice – Shortlisted for Blog Awards Ireland 2012!
I was thrilled and honoured to have been nominated for the Grafton Media Blog Awards Ireland 2012 some time ago. Having read some of the incredibly excellent work of others in the long list, it was clear that the opposition was formidable and the standard very high… It came as a huge surprise then to learn that this blog has been shortlisted in the Best Lifestyle Blog category!
The business of blogging is alive and well in Ireland; hundreds of bloggers are putting their all into their posts. The categories have attracted entries from a broad range of people – from primary school children right up to professional journalists; from craft workers to fashionistas, from cooks to gardeners, from music buffs to photographers, and everything in between! Well done to the organizers for taking on the task of sifting through the many entries and to Grafton Media for being the main sponsor. Such efforts encourage and promote the use of the internet by people from all walks of life and from every profession and I am all for that!
Every single nominee is a winner! The very best of good luck to all on the shortlist!
The Famine Diaspora. What became of them? Many who went to the United States of America fought on both sides of the American Civil War. Many suffered terrible wounds. Many died. In the USA Civil War veterans are remembered with pride and all things Civil War have enormous tourist potential. Isn't it time that we Irish acknowledge the contribution our starving ancestors made to the formation of America? Isn't it time that we Irish acknowledge the tourism potential in having memorials to this part of our very proud history? For an academic 'take' on it, read Damian's recent blog post above.
A bit of Craic in Croagh, County Limerick!
Every working day I travel the N21 passing by the village of Croagh, County Limerick. In recent months I have been intrigued by a very handsome solitary capped figure sitting on a bench on a side road just off the main road. Very realistic, it took a few days for me to realize that Croagh Man is not real!
Imagine my astonishment last week to find that he was kitted out in black tie, dress shirt and had a bride by his side! No ordinary woman this – this is a genuine authentic dumb blonde with straw hair!
Today I was equally astonished to find that Bride of Croagh Man had vanished!
For non-Irish – a bit of 'craic' – pronounced 'crack' = a bit of fun – totally drug-free!

Srinagar, March 18: The 5th semester students of three year bachelor's degree on Monday sought reduction in their 5th and 6th semester syllabus by 50 percent. .
Staging protest at Press Enclave, the students explained that they have very little time to complete their syllabus therefore, it is important that the syllabus is reduced by half.
"Kashmir University (KU) has asked us to appear in the 5th and 6th semester examination simultaneously. It is really hectic to prepare for both the semesters simultaneously," said a Javeed Ahmad of IITM, Hyderpora.
"In August, the KU has asked to appear in the examination. How can we complete the syllabus in a short span of time? The authorities should rethink over their decision, "Irshad said.
"At least, the syllabus should be reduced by 50%. If KU authorities will not reduce the syllabus, many of us won't be able to qualify the examination. Our future is at stake," he added.
The student also lashed out at the KU authorities for failing to declare the result of 2nd, 3rd and 4th semester in time.

The right's Trump tailspin: Conservative media labor to defend the indefensible
Trump University has been exposed as a total fraud. Not even the likes of Breitbart can spin a story this damaging
By Eric Boehlert
June 9, 2016 12:45PM (UTC)
Donald Trump (Reuters/Lucas Jackson)
What good is having a right-wing echo chamber if it's not cranked up and blaring out a disciplined message during the presidential campaign? The conservative movement continues to grapple with that propaganda question in the wake of Donald Trump clinching the nomination, which has created deep fissures within the right-wing media and its historically united front.
For decades, conservatives have taken pride in their media bubble that not only keeps Republican fans selectively informed about breaking news, but also bashes away at all political foes. In full-fledged campaign mode, the right-wing media can effectively serve as a battering ram that Republicans use to attack their enemies or fend off in-coming volleys.
But Trump has scrambled that long-held equation. Embracing positions that often fall outside the orthodoxy of modern-day conservatism, while simultaneously rolling out non-stop insults, Trump has presented conservative pundits with a monumental headache: How do you defend a creation like Trump? Or as one National Review Trump headline lamented last month, "What's a Conservative to Do?"
That riddle is especially tricky when Trump puts would-be allies in the uncomfortable position of having to defend the truly indefensible, like the widening scandal surrounding Trump University, the presumptive nominee's former real estate seminar business. Over the years the dubious venture has been the subject of several ongoing fraud investigations and lawsuits, including one by the state of New York on behalf of 5,000 alleged victims.
"It's fraud. … straight-up fraud," the state's Democratic Attorney General Eric Schneiderman reiterated during an MSNBC interview last week after a judge unsealed court documents from one of the Trump U. lawsuits and allowed for a more detailed look into the allegations of deceit.
The strange part? Some key conservative voices agree with the Democrat's legal assessment. That's why back in February, a National Review writer denounced the Trump seminars as "a massive scam." And last month,The Weekly Standard warned that Trump U. represented a "political time bomb" that could doom the candidate's November chances: "Democrats will see to that." (Both magazines have opposed Trump for months and have pointed to Trump U. as a reason for their opposition.)
That's what's so startling about watching the conservative media this campaign season: It's been completely knocked off its game. Known for its regimented messaging and willingness to almost robotically defend any Republican front-runner and nominee, Trump is finding only a smattering of defenders when it comes to damning allegations about his scam seminars.
And when Trump recently escalated the Trump U. story by attacking Judge Gonzalo Curiel and insisted he couldn't be impartial because of his "Mexican heritage," the presumptive nominee found himself even further isolated within the conservative movement. (The Wall Street Journal editorial page called Trump's judiciary attack "offensive" and "truly odious"; Bill O'Reilly did defend Trump last night.)
As for the scamming allegations, even for members of the conservative media who are willing to try to assist Trump, there's very little to grab on to in terms of defending the scandal-plagued Trump U. Based on mountains of allegations and complaints from angry students -- students with no partisan political ax to grind -- all indications point to a widespread fraud operating under Trump's name and one that bilked victims out of millions of dollars.
As The Atlantic noted after reviewing previously secret training materials for Trump U., "the playbook focuses on the seminars' real purpose: to browbeat attendees into purchasing expensive Trump University course packages." According to an affidavit from former student Richard Hewson, he and his wife "concluded that we had paid over $20,000 for nothing, based on our belief in Donald Trump and the promises made at the free seminar and three-day workshop."
The con appeared to touch every aspect of the real estate selling events. Instead of getting an implied, in-person meeting with Trump at one three-day seminar, some attendees were allowed to take their picture with a cardboard cutout of him. That's one reason Schneiderman dubbed the whole program an "elaborate bait-and-switch" scheme. (Trump's personal, immersed involvement was a key selling point.)
Still, some loyal conservative have tried to explain away the allegations. Last week on Fox, Tucker Carlson tried to downplay the damage by wondering if Trump U. was a "scam" the same way Princeton is a "scam." Over atOutnumbered, co-host Jedediah Bila asked if Trump U.'s allegedly fraudulent practices weren't just good "aggressive sales tactics." She added, "I mean when the public hears this story, I'm wondering do they just see this as non-story?"
Bila's co-host Melissa Francis also didn't see what the big deal was: "You know, it goes to the story of him as an aggressive businessperson who wanted to sort of profit at all costs which is kind of what business is all about."
And former Republican candidate Ben Carson assured Sean Hannity that, "I recently talked to a physician who went to Trump University, and this man is very wealthy, but he's not wealthy from being a physician. He's wealthy from what he learned at Trump University and learning how to do investments."
Note that many of Trump's other friends at Fox have been a bit more suspect on the matter. "Trump has a simple assignment, find five people who are graduates who are willing to go on TV and say, you know, my life was improved, my income went up, it was a good experience," announced Newt Gingrich on Sean Hannity's show, rather than categorically defending the dubious seminars. (To date, Trump has struggled to produce a multitude of satisfied graduates.)
Conservative talk show host Larry Elder also appeared on Hannity's show last week to discuss Trump U. andinsisted that while it was a "minor issue," nonetheless "Trump should have settled this a long time ago."
Even Trump's fiercest media defender, Breitbart.com, has taken a timid approach to the Trump U. fraud story, with the site refusing to offer up a full-throated defense of the alleged scam.
The ferocious conservative echo chamber isn't built for nuance and it's not designed for internal debate. But by sparking so much general dissention and by putting conservatives in the position of having to defend something as noxious as Trump U., the nominee is helping to mute the right-wing media voice this campaign season.

The Dutch Boycott of the 1956 Olympic Games Part 2: Rehabilitation
The Rehabilitation Lunch for the 1956 Dutch Olympic Team, organized by the Dutch Olympic Committee at the Kurhaus Hotel in Scheveningen, Holland.
"Melbourne is THE black page in the Olympic History of the Netherlands," wrote Ada Kok in an email to me. Kok was not only a two-time Olympian in 1964 and 1968, she was the President of the Dutch Olympians Association for 11 years.
And when she was president, you could join the association only if you were an Olympian. Thus, the unfortunate members of the 1956 Dutch National Team were forbidden from competing once the Dutch government decided to boycott the Melbourne Games. As related in a previous post, some of the Dutch national team, including world-record swimmer, Cocky Gastelaars, were already in Melbourne preparing when the decision was made.
Ada Kok and Cocky Gastelaars
"Some athletes were already present in Melbourne to train and they were whistled back home by the Dutch Olympic Committee and the Dutch Government," wrote Kok. "For Cocky this was a traumatic decision as this was her chance to win a gold medal being a world-record holder. But not only was Cocky disappointed. Then, we had a lot of potential gold medal winners who were part of this Dutch Olympic Melbourne Team in 1956. The sad thing was they all just received a telegram to announce the Olympic Team was not travelling to Melbourne, and for those who were already in Melbourne, they were ordered to leave the Olympic Village, not to wear their Olympic outfits anymore and travel home immediately."
Kok provided me with a copy of that telegram dated November 7, 1956, seen below.
DUTCH OLYMPIC TEAM HEIDELBERG-VICTORIA-ASUSTRLIA
AT EXTRAORDINARY MEETING THE DUTCH OLYMPIC PARTICIPATION TO WITHDRAW DUE TO HUNGARY STOP LEAVE OLYMPIC VILLAGE – FIND OTHER PLACE TO STAY STOP WEAR CIVILIAN CLOTHES – IF IMPOSSIBLE REMOVE BADGE STOP WAIT FOR PAULEN LEAVING 11 NOVEMBER FLIGHT 845 FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS STOP CANCEL ALL HOTEL RESERVATIONS BUT RESERVE HOTEL WINDSOR PAULEN AND CHARLES LEAVING 15 NOVEMBER SORRY ALL THE BEST
NOC (National Olympic Committee )
To a world-class athlete preparing years for this moment, the telegram above must have been a dagger in their backs. "No further explanation," wrote Kok. "This was so sad! And this caused over the years a lot of bad feelings among the Dutch Olympians from 1956."
It took a while, but in 2014, a step was taken to recognize these athletes whose lives were so abruptly and rudely changed that day in November 1956. Erica Terpstra, who was the President of the Dutch Olympic Committee, worked with Ada Kok to arrange a day of

A scientist at CDC told me that there are trace amounts of the deadly Legionnaire's disease bug in most every pond, stream and even in puddles. That's the bad news. The good news is that our bodies can stand a low level of contamination of that disease, and most other pathogens. I guess that's why some bugs are "deadly," most are not, and quite a few are beneficial. So, although we must practice cleanliness, and must design processes so they do not encourage growth of pathogens, a small quantity of the bad bugs is probably not going to bother us unduly.
I am hoping that someone will reveal a source of pathogen test kits. I don't much care if a few bugs are in my chocolate but I want to be sure that they are not too plentiful!
So, essentially pasteurizing the liquor is what would be the most effective at ensuring safety? And since the liquor is high in fat and sugar, it might be best to use those guidelines for ice cream / egg nog: 155 F for 30 minutes?
And of course, proper cleaning of everything that came into contact prior to reaching pasteurization.
I'm considering a low + slow roast, maybe even no roast.
Indeed you are a bit mislead. The great danger of the legionella bacteria is not the drinking part but when it enters your lungs. Most of the time this happens by the inhalation of mist droplets (aerosols).
Nevertheless there are a lot pathogens that really are a treat. In my opinion it's very unlikely that bacteria like salmonella will be killed after pasteurizing for 30 minutes at 155°F. Many of those strains use the fat in the chocolate to as a kind of insulation. They won't multiply but they will not die ether (even after 24 hours).
Also don't forget that the pasteurization of the cocoa mass isn't the last step in your chocolate manufacturing.
There are simple pathogen (very expensive) kits available, but you always will have to make a choice and your hobby will be very expensive and it will never be a 100% guarantee.
In my opinion, a lack of good hygienic practices, will most of the time be at the base of any contamination. That and using unsafe raw materials.
Thanks. True, the chocolate will not be refrigerated after pasteurization.
For now, I'll stick to the standard procedure.
My understanding of it is as follows.
If I I a good way to test this, I might give it a try.
On a very rudimentary coliform and HPC test, and painting with a VERY broad brush, basic roasting as I outline effectively has a near 100% kill rate. Comparing against some very bad organism (sorry, can't pull the types out right now) kill charts, roasting should only be marginally effective, but the same can be said of e.coli temp/time kill charts, and even on the lightest palatable roast, well below theoretical kill chart rates, I have had 100% kill rates on contaminated beans.
Generally, get your beans from a good source, roast well, watch your cross contamination and you should be fine.
I think that's some very good advice.
Very good information here. I might be getting ahead of myself but my wife were wanting to start our own coffee and chocolate shop. We were wanting to learn this process to make all of our own chocolate from scratch. With that said, this concerns me. I would have to assume some small chocolate shops do make their own products. Do they all use industrial roasters and conching and refining equipment for not only production reasons but safety reasons? Is it possible to have a small shop and use oven roasting and a large Santha? Would this pass inspections for your shop?
VERY few small chocolate shops make their own product.
There are many reasons - the primary one being that its easier to buy chocolate than acquire beans and make it.
There's also a significant learning curve, and some $$ required to purchase equipment specific for griding cocoa beans.
Don't think that I'm trying to dissuade you. I'm not. I've done many things in my career and thoroughly enjoy making chocolate. However, while there is appeal to making your own chocolate, it's not as easy as one would think. I did almost 3 years of research and development in private before opening my first shop and making chocolate commercially.
Choklat is one of only a couple in Canada.
What a wonderful niche...and we are willing to take it slow to learn the process. We do not need to start the shop anytime soon. But I do want to do the leg work and have everything in place. It would be unfortunate to learn the craft and not be able to use it in the shop.
Most people do not understand the scope of the microbiological dangers of working with chocolate, and underestimate or discount them.
Most people do not understand how microbiologically dirty raw beans are, or how difficult it can be to kill salmonella.
It's a huge concern to the industry, for it's not a question of if a small scale manufacturer gives salmonella to someone, it's when. Even large companies struggle with this issue, and their microbiological controls are far more advanced than yours (see Hershey, Cadbury for recent examples). Each time this happens, it has a halo effect on chocolate consumers (how many of you were hesitant to buy something with peanuts in it last year when PCA tainted the pnut supply chain? They only touched 1% of the supply chain, but everyone who had pnut products saw huge declines in their sales as a result).
The NCA will be hosting a 3 days session on microbiological controls for the small confectioner, geared very much toward chocolate manufacturer in the near future (it may even be posted on their web site now, i've not checked). I'd highly recommend you consider it if you're doing this commercially.
Don't get me wrong, i'm not a gloom and doom kind of guy, and i want you all to succeed. Understanding this aspect of your production is CRITICAL, and often overlooked because it's difficult to solve for.
sebastian, can you point me in the direction of some papers/methods for testing end product chocolate for salmonella? is it as simple as culturing it on agar? I have a few biochemists in my family, and they might be able to do it for me.
"If it wasn't for venetian blinds it'd be curtains for us all"
anyone try this, or anything like it?


I can tell you √�at least for me- it was strenuous. The question why I would torture myself is answered easily. It was a challenge for my physical as well as for my mental power. In addition to this, the work out on this fantastic rowing bike was special. This is why I came to Crete: I came to ride my rowing bike in the mountains, warmed by the sun and constantly supplied with great views and smells. I came for the "you made it" feeling when reaching the top: passing the 5 yellow stripes in Males, just a few more strokes to a stop in the shadow of a chapel to lean the bike against the wall there. Then to walk to the road's edge and look down on the way I just passed. That's great, really.


We follow Jesus as a welcoming Catholic community of believers, fostering a life of active prayer and worship, sharing God's word through education and action, and reaching out in service to those in need.
St. Matthew Parish has flourished for more than 175 years, and we have a long tradition of proclaiming Christ through the sacramental life of the Catholic Church, education, and outreach to the community. We have grown to a large diocesan parish of 980 families including 2957 people. We are continually strengthened by new members who bring fresh perspectives and talents, there is always plenty of work to be done! Together with our parish staff we have accomplished much, and in return are blessed with a rich and diverse parish life.
Like all parishes in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, St. Matthew is in the midst of deepening its relationships with other parishes and creatively adjusting to the reality of future priests. But there are many reason to remain hopeful amid the challenges. I know we can accomplish great things by working together, united by our faith in Jesus Christ. Ours is a past to be proud of, yet at the same time ours is a history still being written, as we work together to spread the Word of God.
We hope you will find St. Matthew a welcoming place to grow in your faith. May God bless you!

Ranking the 55 Books I Read in 2022
Writing this article is both satisfying and painful, kind of like picking a scab you know you shouldn't. I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to giving low ratings or bad reviews, so the idea of placing books last on my list feels awful. I feel as guilty as when I ripped my sister's shirt as a teenager and denied all knowledge of the crime. But even though these books are last on my list, that doesn't mean they're terrible, they just had a lot of competition.
But the joy in this article comes from ranking the top books, and remembering all of the excellent books I read this year. It was a close call, but after hours of reorganising (hello, procrastination, my old friend), I'm satisfied with my list.
Here are all the books I read in 2022, from best to worst.
1. Again, Rachel - Marian Keyes
I love Marian Keyes books. She has written some of my favourite books. Although you'll see that some of her books found their way quite low on this list…
Releasing a sequel is unusual for Marian. She's more of a one-book-wonder, connecting her novels only through characters. So it was surprising enough that she was releasing a sequel to one of her novels… 25 years after she released the first!
It was a risky move but it completely paid off. This is an amazing sequel as well as stand-alone novel. It is a heartfelt read, and I really wasn't sure how it would end. I loved this novel and laugh-cried my way through it.
Rachel Walsh is back, no longer struggling but with addiction but rather helping others to overcome it. But when her ex-husband Luke returns to her life, everything that went down between them begins to come to the surface once more…
2. People We Meet on Vacation - Emily Henry
I read this book in one day. I am not usually that type of person, but I read this entire book by the pool on the hottest day of the year. I loved all of Emily Henry's books and can't wait for the next one, but People We Meet on Vacation really stood out! I found Poppy and Alex to be such fresh and complex characters.
Poppy and Alex have been friends for years and used to take a trip each summer, until the BIG ARGUMENT. Now Poppy is trying to get Alex back in her life with one more trip, a chance to fix things as they ignore the big truth in the way…
3. Milk Fed - Melissa Broder
This novel is funny, erotic, heartbreaking, moving and seductive. It's about hunger. That hunger for food, as it very clearly discusses eating disorders and fatphobia. But also the hunger for sex, love and belonging, as so often we try to fill ourselves with one or the other.
It's quite a graphic read but incredibly well-written. I can't wait to read more by Melissa.
Rachel, 24, is a lapsed Jew whose life revolves around her food intake and weight. Then she meets Miriam, and things get more complicated…
4. Dear Dolly - Dolly Alderton
I would read Dolly's grocery list or random post-it notes, she is one of my favourite writers. This book contains a collection of her favourite agony aunt letters, covering sex, breakups, friendship and more. It's short, easy to read, hilarious and heartbreaking and everything in-between. You can't go wrong with it!
5. You Are Not a Before Picture - Alex Light
I was so excited for Alex Light's book and it was even better than i expected! It not only covers her own experiences with an eating disorder, but gives space to other voices and detailed research regarding our society's fixation with thinness. This is exactly the book I needed in the height of my eating disorder, and I wish everyone could read it - whether or not you've had an eating disorder yourself.
6. Grown Ups - Marian Keyes
One of my favourite Marian Keyes books that I seem to reread annually, this is a must-read! It follows a big, messy Irish family. Told through multiple perspectives, it shows how the lies can add up until they're all revealed on one fateful evening… Funny, loveable, and real. The many narrators can be a little confusing at first but you get into it quickly.
7. Conversations on Love - Natasha Lunn
This book depicts itself as a "celebration of love in all its forms". It began as a weekly newsletter that evolved into a book dedicated to the thing that drives us, love. Through personal essays and interviews Natasha explores many themes of love: breakups, marriage, grief, parenthood, pregnancy, illness and more. It was beautiful to read, even the parts less relevant to myself. It featured some big names, including Dolly Alderton, Candice Carty-Williams and Roxanne Gay.
8. I'm Glad My Mom Died - Jennette McCurdy
This memoir was difficult to read, as the abuse and subsequent struggles with mental illness are told plainly and honestly. But it was also an empowering book, as the manner in which Jennette holds nothing back allows you to really follow her journey with her. One of the best memoirs I've ever read.
You follow Jennette as a child star, a teenage celebrity, and a deeply unhappy adult. She recounts the complicated relationship with her mother, including emotional abuse.
9. House of Earth and Blood - Sarah J. Maas
To say this book surprised me would be an understatement. I enjoyed ACOTAR enough to read the series, but then didn't feel the urge to read more of her work. I randomly decided to try another Sarah J Maas novel and I had no idea that this would be so much better than ACOTAR. This book held such valuable social commentary, and Sarah managed to weave a complex magical world that still made sense as a reader. While Bryce was in many ways the typical fantasy heroine, there was also more to the story. I read for 3 hours straight to finish the book as I couldn't wait to find out what happened. It was incredibly layered and so well-written, I'm immediately getting the next book in the series.
The sequel is my first read of 2023!
10. How to Fall Out of Love Madly - Jana Casale
This book is comforting with a hint of sadness. It's about unrequited love, not only for others but towards ourselves. It is made up of tiny universal experiences and how they collect to form our perspective.
Annie is in love with her boyfriend, who is reluctant to commit to her. Joy is in love with their new roommate, Theo, even when she meets his girlfriend, Celine. Celine lives in a cycle of her own shame, allowing Theo to be a distraction.
11. Book Lovers - Emily Henry
I don't read many romance novels, but I love how Emily Henry balances romance with self-discovery. This novel was also about Nora's grief and relationship with her sister. It was also deliciously meta, referencing those Hallmark small town movies, but from the perspective of the usual 'villain' of these films.
My only tiny frustration was Libby calling Nora "Sissy" throughout, but I think that's just a personal pet peeve. I can't imagine ever calling my sister that.
12. Beach Read - Emily Henry
Again, Emily balances romance with personal development. This novel explores January's loss of her father and coming to terms with the double life he led, as well as the deal she makes with her neighbour Augustus…. It was fun to read, and sometimes books just need to be fun.
13. Elektra - Jennifer Saint
I love Greek mythology and adored Jennifer's other novel, Ariadne, so I was excited to get my hands on this one! It was great to read about the slightly overdone Battle of Troy from a different perspective, or rather 3 different perspectives. The novel is told by Clytemnestra, wife of Agamemnon and sister of Helen; Cassandra, princess of Troy and cursed prophet; and Elektra, Clymenstra's youngest daughter who eagerly await her father's return.
14. Girl, Woman, Other - Bernardine Evaristo
This book was incredible. I thought it would take me a while to get into the style of prose but it went very quickly. The characters were so captivating and it was fascinating to see how their lives intertwined. They acted as excellent mirrors for each other, highlighting flaws and inconsistencies. I would recommend this book immediately, as it's like reading 12 stories in one. It is described as a "love song to modern Britain and black womanhood".
15. Before My Actual Heart Breaks - Tish Delaney
I randomly found this novel in a bookshop and I'm so glad I bought it! This novel had me sobbing, and I found myself desperately turning the pages in search of a happy ending. The setting of Northern Ireland was both beautiful and harrowing, and the writing was almost poetic.
Mary Rattigan lives in the madness of troubled Northern Ireland and is desperate to escape. But things don't go to plan and she finds her life slipping away in a direction she never hoped for…
16. Carrie Soto is Back - Taylor Jenkins Reid
I am not much of a sports gal, and yet I loved this book. Taylor managed to make pages of tennis match descriptions fascinating. She kept me hooked and believing I too loved tennis. The style differed a bit to her other books, with shorter chapters, but it was perfect for Carrie. While I did prefer 'Daisy Jones and the Six' and 'The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo', it was still an incredible book!
17. Angels - Marian Keyes
Any book that is part of the Walsh family collection is a delight to reread. I love the L.A. setting and glamorous scriptwriting lifestyle through the naive eyes of Maggie. It's fun, outrageous and downright ridiculous at parts. Perfect for a rainy day read.
18 - 20 Percy Jackson - Rick Riordan (3)
I discovered the Percy Jackson books two years ago and I am a big fan, to say the least. I think it's my love of Greek mythology that has me so hooked on these young adult books. I reread them annually, and I would've put all five here except I technically read the first two at the end of 2021. It's got demi-gods, monsters, young love and more.
These are my comfort books, and I love the detailed Greek mythology in them.
21. Last Chance Saloon - Marian Keyes
This book was so heartwarming and frustrating in a way that shows you're really attached to the characters. Sometimes the character's actions really drove me mad but that's what makes them realistic, as we all do things we shouldn't and stay firmly in denial.
By the end, I was yelling at Tara to dump her dreadful boyfriend, Katherine to let loose a bit and Fintan to be more transparent with his friends.
22. People Person - Candice Carty-Williams
This was definitely not what I expected! I loved Queenie and so one chapter in, when certain dramatic events started unfolding (no spoilers!), I was shocked. I checked the title to make sure I had the right book. As with Queenie, this novel had a focus on relationships and identity, two topics she covers immacutely. The different characters allowed us to see multiple perspectives and how differently people can grow up to be. The character conflicts were well-written and captivating, and I was hooked on the storyline.
I do feel like the main storyline got fixed a little too quickly, in the way that makes you wonder what all of it was leading up to? And I also think I didn't get the chance to explore some of the siblings as much as there was the huge focus on Dimple. So while I enjoyed this novel and would recommend it, I'd definitely say you should prioritise reading Queenie!
23. The Testaments - Margaret Atwood
I loved the first book so much that I don't think anything could live up to it, and unfortunately, I felt this 'sequel' detracted from it. A lot of strings were neatly tied, and in particular, one of the character's journey felt forced.
But as always, Atwood is an incredible writer. Her imagery and prose are enough to keep you reading, and I look forward to reading more of her books!
24 - 28 The Heroes of Olympus - Rick Riordan (5)
The second series in the Percy Jackson universe is also amazing in my humble opinion, but not quite as good as the first. So they get this prime spot. A highlight of these books is the diversity and approach to different perspectives.
29 Black is the Body - Emily Bernard
The first essay had me completely captivated, and from there, Emily weaved a beautiful tale of past, present and future. She had a knack for discussing people, honestly and plainly, while always remaining respectful. I did feel like some of the essays were a little less cohesive than others, where it felt almost disorganised. But throughout, her writing was beautiful, simple and honest, and I feel like I left this book with a lot to think about.
30 The Other Black Girl - Zakiya Dalila Harris
This book is intelligent and dynamic, perfect for fans of 'Get Out'. It's a thriller that approaches race in the literary industry and keeps you hooked. The writing is excellent, but the pacing was a little slow for me. If it had been edited a bit tighter, it definitely would've found a higher position on this list.
Nella Rogers is the only black employee at Wagner Books, until Hazel appears one day. Things start getting competitive, especially when threatening notes are left on her desk…
31-35 A Court of Thorns and Roses - Sarah J Maas (5)
A friend asked me to try the ACOTAR series and I nervously agreed to try them. It's not my usual genre of choice, but I am really glad she gave me the nudge to read them!
Sarah is amazing at world-building. I'm not as experienced with fantasy so I was little daunted at the start. I kept trying to memorise all the information thrown at me, but I've now learned to just be patient, a talented fantasy author will make things clear along the way.
I loved the twist, I loved the smut, I loved the escapism.
36. Getting Published - Harry Bingham
A very practical, no-nonsense guide to traditional publishing. I was initially concerned this book might overly promote the author's business, but the bias was acknowledged and handled very well. It broke down each step and gave a lot of anecdotal evidence to support the points. While I disagreed with certain things mentioned, it was helpful to have this book by someone who has been there themselves.
37-41 Trials of Apollo - Rick Riordan (5)
This is the first time I read Rick's Apollo series, situated after Heroes of Olympus. They were definitely not as good as the originals, but strong in their own right. I was particularly impressed with how brutal Rick was, unafraid to kill off or hurt major characters. Rick really did not hold back and I respect him for it. I never expected to cry so much at a book for kids.
42. The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes - Suzanne Collins
I read this book when I got Covid for the second time in 2022, and it was the perfect distraction. I was initially surprised that the long-awaited Hunger Games prequel was about Snow (and not dreamy Finnick) but this book was an excellent villain origin story. Suzanne is talented enough to make you sympathise with him. I was not sure where this would go and I'm excited to watch the upcoming film.
43. How to Stop Time - Matt Haig
I liked this novel more than 'The Midnight Library' and enjoyed the core concept of it. The familiar faces mentioned was a fun touch although except for Shakespeare, they didn't add much to the story. I got really hooked for the last third, but until then it was a bit of a slow read. Matt Haig does have a very beautiful writing style, with simplistic yet touching prose throughout.
44. Waiting for the Winds to Change - Claire Beesley
This book was a journey, not only through uncovering the plot but also in identity and trauma. Claire handled the discussion around trauma, mental health and emotional abuse phenomenally. She wove such complex characters that I can't stop thinking about them now. Claire created the perfect balance between plot and character development, as well as with a thought-led narrative.
45. Forever Interrupted - Taylor Jenkins Reid
I really like Taylor's novels, but this was definitely my least favourite of her books. While I appreciated how it dealt with the difficult subject of grief, it kind of felt like it was waiting for something that didn't quite come. But it was a beautiful examination of grief and how it can bring people together.
The novel switches between before the accident - following Ben and Elsie's whirlwind romance- and after - when Elsie is grieving and connects with Ben's mother.
46. Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married - Marian Keyes
I am a huge Marian Keyes fan, so I had sky-high expectations going in, and unfortunately this novel couldn't quite stand up to her other works. It was a fun read and I loved the character of Daniel vehemently, but it was also a bit slow and directionless. I found it hard to sympathise with the character at all, and I usually love unlikeable characters so this was new for me. I also wanted Lucy to tell Karen where to shove it far earlier in the novel.
It would not be the Marian Keyes novel I recommend to people.
47. Typecast - Andrea J. Stein
The synopsis caught my eye as I love it when film is used in novels and it seemed a fascinating premise… your boyfriend writes a film about your breakup? Yikes!
This novel did not disappoint! Callie was a lovely yet realistic character, and I loved that throughout the novel you were both unravelling what happened all those years ago as well as working out what would happen. I was on the edge of my seat for the last third of the novel. I also loved how it wasn't focused solely on romantic relationships (although there was some GORGEOUS FLIRTING), but really dealt with Callie's identity and her relationship with her sister. As one of 3 sisters, I loved seeing the realistic love/hate portrayal.
48 - 50 Harry Potter 1-3
I'm reading the Harry Potter novels in Dutch as practice. They're ideal for working on another language, particularly if you know them well in English. Next year I plan to read the rest of them.
Not that much to say about them, I think once you get a bit older they're not quite as impressive. But I do remember reading them for the first time with such exhilaration.
51. Reasons to Stay Alive - Matt Haig
When it comes to mental illness, one of the biggest comforts is simply knowing we're not alone in it. This memoir by Matt Haig doesn't have the answer to depression, it won't tell you how to get better, but it reminds us that other people feel this way, even successful authors. It's a bit of a slow read, and more of a personal experience rather than self-help book.
52. It Ends With Us - Colleen Hoover
This was the first Colleen Hoover book and I think the hype around them made me go in with too high expectations. I liked how Colleen approached the story (no spoilers!) and it was a gripping read, but it also didn't leave me with a 'wow' feeling. I didn't even feel compelled to read the sequel that just came out.
53-55 The Summer I Turned Pretty - Jenny Han (3)
I'm sure if I was a teenager reading these books I would've put them a lot higher on the list. But I'm twenty-six and I read these books because I liked the series adaptation. The books were cute but a little straightforward, even for young readers. I think my biggest issue is the third book, as the entire premise is just so unbelievable. I also felt like she built up characters throughout the first two books and then completely changed them in book 3 for an easy ending.
Have you read any of these books? Or will you now try one of them? Let me know in the comments!

We've been very busy over the last few months at Dooley Communications. The year has been packed with new work for great new clients, including Direct Impact. We've been working with DI's network of PR agencies across Canada since the spring helping Ford of Canada in Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario. Our efforts have yielded dozens of positive media stories across our region on TV, in print, online and on radio.
All in all, it's been a great way to celebrate our third year in business. We're growing, adding clients and staff, and looking forward to year four.
