Talk about a split personality. The MOD-1288 is both a portable trade show pedestal with locking storage and an iPad kiosk. The modular pedestal comes with an internal shelf and a unique iPad counter insert feature. The iPad mounts below the counter top, and the base is CNC cut for power and data cables. Your tablet mounts flush with the counter top, but is surrounded by a lip which prevents anyone from casually removing it. In short . . . it's an attractive, secure, and inexpensive addition to most counters or workstations.

Interesting site. If you go to database you can look up soldiers by name, rank etc.
We have over the last couple of days discussed the database for the The Soldier in Later Medieval England project, at <http://www.icmacentre.ac.uk/soldier/database/index.php>;, on this list, in threads with the subject lines "check this out", "here is the web site", "100 Years War soldier list", and "Agincourt war records". Questions were raised as to whether some or all of the surnames in the database might have been normalized, due to an ambiguous statement on the website. So I used the "for more information contact" link at the bottom of the index page to ask for clarification. Dr. Adrian Bell, Senior Lecturer in the History of Finance and Director of Teaching and Learning at the ICMA Centre, answered my inquiry, confirming that while the given names have been normalized, the surnames are unaltered.
At Crecy (1346) and Poitiers (1356) the English divided into three Battles (that is what the field units were called), one left, one right, and a reserve.
The French could barely be called am army and there was no such pretty divisions of the army. They were close to a rabble...except that it would be impolite to call nobles and knights a rabble. They outnumbered the English by at least five to one and believed they would easily crush them.
The English held a defensive position and the French units, if they can be called such, fed in one at a time in series because there was no organization, and the real commander was hours behind at the back of the train.
My point here is that what they French did at these battles should not be ascribed to some French way of doing things. Whatever plan the French commanders had was never put into action because the advance guard did wait for orders. They simply attacked and each group of knights attacked in turn as they arrived at the battlefield, because they each wanted their piece of the glory and ransoms that would come from defeating the English. There was never any thought that the outcome was in doubt.
Sorry for the length, but the Hundred Years War is one of my interests.
Most historians tend to the smaller numbers while the larger are from the period chroniclers.
This is one of the biggest lessons we can learn from Bruce Lee movies. Don't send your ninjas in one at a time.
The French commanders and chivalry can be condemned more completely for their tactical failures than even Burnside. They had three huge defeats for running frontal charges over broken ground at an entrenched army within the span of a single man's life- Crecy, Poitiers, and Agincourt. They're pretty much the only battles in the Hundred Years War that anglophiles seem to study. I guess they don't want to think about the fact that England lost the war. Clifford Rogers and Kelly Devries have written some outstanding books on the subject recently that shed some new light on it.
In their defense, the French saw that they mostly beat their English adversaries in other contexts. They did better in tournaments, both in jousting and foot combat. They won most of the sieges, and most smaller battles. Why should those battles have been any different? And it wasn't just glory the French knights were after. The ransom of even a modest lord was worth a fortune. To put it in context- when the count of Nevers was captured by the Turks in 1396, the ransom was roughly the GDP of Burgundy, one of the most prosperous regions of Europe, for two years. There were English kings, princes, dukes and barons in those happy little bands. Adjusted for inflation it's literally saying you could get 4 trillion dollars (that's 2x the GDP of Great Britain) for charging up a hill and pummelling some guys you've beaten before. Seriously it took a force of will and a lot of yelling from our commanders to keep our guys from crossing a bridge at Gulf War. You want to put 4 trillion dollars on the table and try to hold them back? Best of luck to you.
Poitiers was complicated by the vow of the order of the Star, to not retreat. They lost a lot of good men.
I'd wager that Connor's numbers were concocted by an English minister of propaganda.
A situation Gen. Burnside should have recognized (and avoided) 5 centuries later at Fredricksburg. Just goes to show that the old saw about not learning from history really is true.
It should also be pointed out that the French nobility were also exceedingly concerned with personal honor and glory, to the exclusion of military sense. You would expect, in an army the size of that which the French fielded at Crecy and Poitiers (or later at Agincourt) that somebody would recognize that piecemeal attacks were suicidal and hold back the follow-on units until they could be organized into an attack that had a prayer of succeeding. If anyone did, and tried to do anything about it, he would have been ignored by knights and lords whose main concern was to get into the fight so as not to lose out on the glory, or to not be seen by their peers as cowards for delaying their entry into the battle. Which says volumes about the importance of an army being trained to act as a whole, rather then being a gaggle of different armed mobs.
Actually, the French did learn a lesson from Crecy and Poitiers, and changed tactics for the next 50 years. Few people seem to remember that between Poitiers in 1356 and Agincourt in 1415, the French had won back most of what they had lost. Unfortunately, they fell into the same trap at Agincourt and suffered the same type of defeat. Even in those days people failed to learn from history.
I replied to another message before seeing this, so you can read that for some thoughts on French tactics.
While technically Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt are fought in one man's lifespan, 69 years, no one who fought at Crecy would still have been fighting at Agincourt. The French have a different King at each of three battles, and the losses at Crecy were so heavy that the list of nobles at Poitiers are mostly young men.
"I'd wager that Connor's numbers were concocted by an English minister of propaganda.
Of course, most of it comes from Froisart...at least the huge numbers come from him. More modern historians tend towards the lower numbers and a ratio closer to 2:1 or 3:1, rather than the 5:1 that is generally claimed by the chroniclers closer to the actual events, who were generally writing for the English.

Belfast City Council () is the local authority with responsibility for part of the city of Belfast, the capital and largest city of Northern Ireland. The Council serves an estimated population of  (), the largest of any district council in Northern Ireland, while being the smallest by area. Belfast City Council is the primary council of the Belfast Metropolitan Area, a grouping of six former district councils with commuter towns and overspill from Belfast, containing a total population of 579,276.

The council is made up of 60 councillors, elected from ten district electoral areas. It holds its meetings in the historic Belfast City Hall. The current Lord Mayor is Tina Black of Sinn Féin.

As part of the 2014/2015 reform of local government in Northern Ireland the city council area expanded, and now covers an area that includes 53,000 additional residents in 21,000 households. The number of councillors increased from 51 to 60. The first elections to the expanded city council took place on 22 May 2014.

History

Belfast's modern history can be dated back to the Plantation of Ulster in the early 17th century which brought significant numbers of Protestant Scottish and English settlers to Ulster. The town gradually developed to become a major industrial centre, in particular in the areas of linen and ship building. In recognition of this growth Belfast was granted city status in 1888 and by 1901, it was the largest city in Ireland. The city's importance was evidenced by the construction of the lavish City Hall, completed in 1906.

The body now known as Belfast City Council has its origins in the defunct Belfast Corporation, and was created in its current form following the local council elections of May 1973. Originally it was intended that there would be 52 wards. However, local enquiries meant that the proposed Tullycarnet ward became instead the Castlereagh Borough Council wards of Tullycarnet and Gilnahirk, leaving Belfast with 51. Although the county borough of Belfast was created when it was granted city status by Queen Victoria in 1888, the city continues to be viewed as straddling County Antrim and County Down with the River Lagan generally being seen as the line of demarcation.

From the late 18th century onwards, the city's Roman Catholic population gradually increased, although the city was still dominated by its mostly Ulster Protestant majority. The council was dominated by unionists from its inception until 1997, when they lost overall control for the first time in its history, with the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland gaining the balance of power between Irish nationalists and unionists. This position was confirmed in the three subsequent council elections, with mayors from the Irish nationalist Sinn Féin and Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP), and the cross-community Alliance Party regularly elected since 1997. The election in 2011 saw Irish nationalist councillors outnumber unionist councillors for the first time, 24–21, with Sinn Féin becoming the largest party, and the Alliance Party maintaining the balance of power with six members. The 2011 census findings confirmed this significant change in demographics. In the Belfast City Council area, the proportion of people who were Catholic or brought up Catholic (48.58%) is larger than those who were Protestant or brought up Protestant (42.30%) for the first time. In terms of national identity 43.16% of the population considered themselves to be British, 34.77% considered themselves to be Irish, and 26.82% considered themselves to be of Northern Irish nationality.

Coat of arms and motto

The city of Belfast has the Latin motto "." This is taken from Psalm 116 Verse 12 in the Latin Vulgate Bible and is literally "For (Pro) so much (tanto) what (quid) we shall repay (retribuamus)" The verse has been translated in bibles differently – for example as "What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?". It is also translated as "In return for so much, what shall we give back?" The Queen's University Students' Union Rag Week publication PTQ derives its name from the first three words of the motto.

The coat of arms of the city (pictured, above right) are blazoned as Party per fesse argent and azure, in chief a pile vair and on a canton gules a bell argent, in base a ship with sails set argent on waves of the sea proper. This heraldic language describes a shield that is divided in two horizontally (party per fesse). The top (chief) of the shield is silver (argent), and has a point-down triangle (a pile) with a repeating blue-and-white pattern that represents fur (vair). There is also a red square in the top corner (a canton gules) on which there is a silver bell. It is likely that the bell is an example here of "canting" (or punning) heraldry, representing the first syllable of Belfast. In the lower part of the shield (in base) there is a silver sailing ship shown sailing on waves coloured in the actual colours of the sea (proper). The supporter on the "dexter" side (that is, the viewer's left) is a chained wolf, while on the "sinister" side the supporter is a sea-horse. The crest above the shield is also a sea-horse. These arms date back to 1613, when King James I granted Belfast town status. The seal was used by Belfast merchants throughout the 17th century on their signs and trade-coins. A large stained glass window in the City Hall displays the arms, where an explanation suggests that the seahorse and the ship refer to Belfast's significant maritime history. The wolf may be a tribute to the city's founder, Sir Arthur Chichester, and refer to his own coat of arms.

Councillors
The latest election to Belfast City Council took place on 2 May 2019, with the city's voters electing sixty councillors.

Party strengths

Historical composition
Parties' election performances have changed substantially since the council election in 1973. The Ulster Unionist Party made a strong initial showing and remained the largest unionist party until 2005, when the Democratic Unionist Party became the dominant unionist party, while Sinn Féin has become the largest party overall. Nationalist representation showed a steady increase until recently, however still managed to become the largest grouping in the 2011 election.  The number of unionist councillors has fallen almost every election. Cross-community representation has increased somewhat rapidly over the last few elections, almost overtaking the unionist representation in the 2019 election.

Councillors by electoral area
The council area is subdivided into 60 electoral wards, nominally one for each elected councillor. However, as the PR-STV voting system requires multi-seat constituencies, the 60 wards are grouped into ten district electoral areas (DEA) which elect between five and seven councillors each:
 Balmoral (5)
 Black Mountain (7)
 Botanic (5)
 Castle (6)
 Collin (6)
 Court (6)
 Lisnasharragh (6)
 Oldpark (6)
 Ormiston (7)
 Titanic (6)

Offices

Lord Mayor and Deputy Lord Mayor

The Lord Mayor of Belfast is the leader and chairman of Belfast City Council and is elected annually by the council to serve a one-year term. A Deputy Lord Mayor is normally elected at the same Council meeting as the Lord Mayor.

The Lord's Mayor's role is largely ceremonial, but does include the following powers and duties:
 In times of natural disaster the Lord Mayor may direct resources such as Police, Fire and Ambulance as they see fit
 Presiding over meetings of the council and, in the case of equality of votes, the Lord Mayor has a second or casting vote
 Promoting and raising awareness of the council's main objectives and priority issues
 Encouraging and supporting all aspects of life in Belfast by attending civic and public events
 Receiving distinguished visitors to the city
 Acting as host on behalf of the council and the citizens of Belfast at civic functions
 Acting as a spokesperson to the local, national and international media
 Providing an appropriate response on behalf of Belfast at times of local, national and international catastrophe
 Supporting and encouraging charitable and other appeals as appropriate
 Promoting Belfast's business, commercial, cultural and social life
 Promoting Belfast as a place of excellence in which to do business and as a tourist destination.

The position that is now the Lord Mayor originated in 1613 in the town's Royal Charter as the 'Sovereign of Belfast'. In 1842, this position was restyled the 'Mayor of Belfast'. When Belfast was granted city status in 1892, the position was given Lord Mayor status, making it one of only three cities on the island of Ireland having a Lord Mayor, the other two being Cork and Dublin. In 1929, it became one of only six cities in the United Kingdom to have a Lord Mayor styled "the Right Honourable". Until 1973 the position was held for three years, when it was reduced to its current term of one year. From its formation in 1921 until its abolition in 1972, the Lord Mayor was automatically entitled to a seat in the Senate of Northern Ireland.

For most of the city's modern history, the position has been held by unionists, with members of the Ulster Unionist Party holding the post for a total of 61 of the 67 years between 1921 and 1997. The first non-unionist Lord Mayor since the partition of Ireland in 1921 was David Cook from the Alliance Party, who was elected in 1978. The first Irish nationalist Lord Mayor was not appointed until the election of Alban Maginness from the SDLP in 1997, while a Sinn Féin Lord Mayor was first elected in 2002. The end of the unionist majority on the Council in 1997 has resulted in a greater rotation of the position amongst the parties, which, like other elected positions within the Council such as Committee chairs, is now filled using the D'Hondt system. This system awards positions to parties based on their number of councillors.

Aldermen
The Local Government (Modification of Borough Charters) Order (Northern Ireland) 1973 entitles the council to appoint up to twelve of its members to the honorary position of alderman. The role of alderman is appointed at the first annual meeting following the election of the council and does not carry any extra responsibilities other than the right to be referred to as an alderman rather than councillor. Following the local elections in 1997 and 2005 the Council voted not to appoint any of its members to the positions, however all twelve places were filled after the May 2011 election.

The present Alderman are:

High Sheriff

The High Sheriff of Belfast is a largely ceremonial position currently held by John Hussey who took office on 2 February 2022. The High Sheriff is theoretically the King's judicial representative in the city, while the Lord Lieutenant is the Sovereign's personal representative, however the office is now largely symbolic with few formal duties other than deputising for the Lord Mayor at official events. The position was created in 1900 under the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898, with Sir James Henderson the first holder. Appointments are made on annual basis by the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, who asks the outgoing High Sheriff and the council to suggest the names of three people who are deemed suitable to hold the position. In recent years the council has suggested only one candidate, who is normally a member of the council. The High Sheriff's term of office runs from January to December, which is distinct from the term of office for the Lord Mayor and Deputy Lord Mayor who take up office in May or June each year.

Lord Lieutenant

The Lord Lieutenant of Belfast is the official representative of the King for the 'County Borough of Belfast'. The Lord Lieutenant is Dame Finnouala Jay-O'Boyle, DBE who was appointed in July 2014.  The position was first created in 1900 and was held by the Marquess of Londonderry. The role is largely honorary with the few formal duties relating to liaising with the King's Private Office in the lead up to visits to the City regarding issues of local concern and the presentation of awards on behalf of the King.

2014/2015 reform
The district councils of Northern Ireland were reformed in 2015. The councillors elected on 5 May 2011 served on Belfast City Council until 31 March 2015. At the local elections on 22 May 2014 a new Belfast City Council was elected and acted as a shadow authority until coming into its powers on 1 April 2015. The local government district of Belfast was expanded on 1 April 2015 to the south to include areas formerly part of the Castlereagh, Lisburn and North Down districts. The new electoral areas are Balmoral, Black Mountain, Botanic, Castle, Collin, Court, Lisnasharragh, Oldpark, Ormiston and Titanic.

Parliamentary and Assembly constituencies
Belfast has four coterminous constituencies for the UK Parliament and the Northern Ireland Assembly, which extend somewhat beyond the city boundaries into parts of Castlereagh, Lisburn and Newtownabbey districts. At the 2019 UK general election, Belfast returned four MPs for the following constituencies: Belfast North (John Finucane, Sinn Féin), Belfast East (Gavin Robinson, DUP), Belfast South (Claire Hanna, SDLP) and Belfast West (Paul Maskey, Sinn Féin).

In the 2022 Northern Ireland Assembly election, Belfast returned a total of 20 MLAs (five per constituency) for the constituencies of Belfast North, Belfast East, Belfast South and Belfast West. Prior to the 2017 election, each constituency elected six MLAs or a total of 24 MLAs for Belfast.

The results for both elections are summarised below:

Committees

The council has six committees, the members of which are appointed at the annual meeting of the council.

Each of the committees consists of 20 councillors with the quorum (the minimum number of councillors that are required to be present to transact business legally) of each committee being five members.  Committees sit at least monthly with the exception of July.  All committees are constituted to reflect, as far as practicable, the different political groups into which the members of the council are divided.  The posts of chairman and deputy chairman of committees are allocated on the basis of the d'Hondt system of proportionality:
 Development Committee
 Health and Environmental Services Committee
 Licensing Committee
 Parks and Leisure Committee
 Strategic Policy and Resources Committee
 Town Planning Committee

Minutes
Minutes of meetings of Council committees and subcommittees are available at Belfast City Council (searchable) and at Belfast NI Gov Wiki (unofficial site).

Council departments
The council has seven departments.

Demography

The area covered by the current Belfast City Council has a population of 333,871 residents according to the 2011 Northern Ireland census. The area covered by the old Belfast City Council before the 2015 local government reorganisation in Northern Ireland had a population of 280,962 residents according to the same census.

In the 2011 census the distributions of population, religion, national identity and proportion of immigrants within the Belfast City Council area were as follows.

Nobel laureate Vernon L. Smith, Ph.D. and Bart J. Wilson, Ph.D., both Professors of Economics at the Argyros School of Business and Economics, have published a new book with Cambridge University Press entitled, Humanomics: Moral Sentiments and the Wealth of Nations for the Twenty-First Century. The main thesis–inspired by a close reading of the founder of modern economics, Adam Smith–transforms the traditional economic model of people as self-centered actors into a deeper study of human beings as moral beings, both in their personal lives with friends and family and in their professional lives of business and economics. Dr. Wilson describes the book as a parallel project to the Humanomics minor offered at Chapman University.
Adam Smith's works have been part of both author's classroom curriculum since Fall 2004, before either began teaching at Chapman University. The courses evolved with time and with the level of student they were teaching, which include students in the Dale E. Fowler School of Law and undergraduates and high school students in the Summer Scholars program.
Congratulations to Dr. Smith and Dr. Wilson on this remarkable achievement!


We continue our cheese and jelly one-two punch with the March chapter of Jelly of the Month Club.
This time 'round, we're excited to review the Boysenberry Jam sold by Wholey's in the Strip District.
With more than a little relief, I can say that Wholey's Boysenberry Jam is the real deal. It was almost Jello-thick, and rich with a dense flavor that stood up well to the English muffin and the peanut butter.
Of course, for all its sturdy texture, the jam was powerless when faced down by a Lucy-tongue.
color: 5 – it had a dark, jewel-like opacity, and just looked nice when spread.
flavor: 5 – as good as it gets, this stuff.
jelly-ness: 4 – it was almost too thick, but this is really quibbling here.
jar presentation: 4 – it's simple, but we like the slogan, which would probably be on our family crest if we had one, like, in an eagle's talons or something.
awesomeness: 5 – this stuff reaches a height of total awesomeness. We can't wait to use this in a charcuterie plate, or maybe in a crepe, or just eaten out of the dang jar!

Nick Sirianni says Jalen Hurts is "trending in the right direction" to play in Eagles vs. Giants
The Eagles head coach wouldn't give difinitive answers for Jalen Hurts or C.J. Gardner-Johnson but gave some updates on their week of practice.
By Alexis Chassen@Lovelybuckeye Jan 6, 2023, 12:57pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Nick Sirianni says Jalen Hurts is "trending in the right direction" to play in Eagles vs. Giants
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni — wearing a "Pave The Lane" shirt — spoke to reporters on Friday and gave a little more insight into whether Jalen Hurts and C.J. Gardner-Johnson might be on the field Sunday. He also talked a bit about Miles Sanders and how he's handled this week mentally as a good friend to Damar Hamlin.
On Jalen Hurts
"It's trending in the right direction."
Sirianni said that they'll have to see how Friday's practice goes, but they feel good about it. He acknowledged that not a whole lot will change between now and the game, aside from seeing how Hurts feels after practice, but he doesn't want to give an answer too early.
"I'm not quite there yet and we're still thinking through everything."
The head coach was asked if Hurts has been cleared for contact, but Sirianni said they don't really use that designation, but rather wait to hear if he's cleared to play or not. He noted that they'll talk to the doctors again after Friday's practice and go from there.
"If he's ready to play, we'll play him. It really is as simple as that."
The QB has done more this week than last as he gets ready to return to the field. Sirianni pointed out that he felt like Hurts threw the ball well last week, but the shoulder has had more time to heal, and so it's more about what happening internally that's affecting the decision.
Sirianni also mentioned that they don't want to put anyone on the field if they're at risk of re-injuring themselves or making things worse. As for Hurts specifically, the head coach said that he's pretty savvy in how he goes down and takes hits, so they'll talk to him about trying to avoid certain things, but they aren't worried about him over-doing it. Sirianni pointed out, as well, that regardless of whether he has a shoulder injury or not, the QB needs to be smart about how he's taking hits, and the coaches have to be smart about how they're calling things.
On C.J. Gardner-Johnson
"He's doing a good job. Again, we'll see how today's practice goes and how everything goes throughout today's practice, but he's done a nice job and we're hopeful. Again, I won't say he is yet, I'll see what goes down at practice today, but we're hopeful there and we'll see what happens. He's had a good week of practice, as well."
On Miles Sanders
It was pointed out that Sanders was still on the injury report with a knee issue, and given his closeness with Damar Hamlin, Sirianni was asked how the running back is doing this week.
"I think Miles has had a good week of mental preparation, and also a good week of practice."
Sirianni didn't want to speak for Sanders on how he's been dealing with Hamlin's scary situation, but acknowledged he can't imagine what the RB has been going through mentally being so close to Hamlin. The head coach said that they just tried to be there for Sanders, and he saw the guys in the locker room put their arms around him and give him extra support this week.
"Sometimes when you come in this building, or you go out to the field, there is an escape from some of the things that you might be having to go through. I think the thing that you find out in these moments is just how precious everything is, how precious life is, but then also, when you start to talk to different guys and you're sharing stories that — like, woah, there's other guys going through stuff, as well. And that just creates a bond to be close and you have empathy for people that are going through hard things because you know that you've been through hard things, or that your teammates been through hard things, or whatever it is.
So, I just saw guys putting their arm around Miles and checking in on him — coaches, players — and I think that at a tough time like that, that's obviously a big thing for a team to be able to have."
Sirianni acknowledged that if you had told him before the season that they would have secured a playoff spot and been competing for the NFC East title, he would have said, "Sign me up." But then joked that he would have then noted that they are focused on the Lions and going 1-0 — like he does every week.
As for the team having their first losing streak of the season with back-to-back losses, Sirianni said that he's seen everyone treat things like business as usual. It's their Dog Mentality — they've dragged themselves through the mud for the mistakes they make, they've taken accountability, made corrections, and now are moving forward.

2013 Big Ten Championship
Posted on December 8, 2013. Filed under: Football, NCAA Sports | Tags: B1G ten, b1g ten championship, B1G Ten Football, BCS, Big Ten, big ten championship, big ten championship 2013, Braxton Miller, Buckeyes, Connor Cook, Jeremy Langford, Mark Dantonio, michigan state, Ohio State, spartans, VIZIO BCS National Championship |
Spartans knockoff Buckeyes from possible BCS Championship
INDIANAPOLIS – UPSET? hhhmmm….
Behind the play of sophomore quarterback, Connor Cook, Michigan State rallied from a seven-point third-quarter deficit by scoring the final 17 points Saturday night to upset Ohio State 34-24 and deny the Buckeyes a chance to play in the VIZIO BCS National Championship game.
"I think we heard people talk bad about us all year. This wasn't the first week where we heard people say negative things about us as an offense or as a football team, Cook said after throwing a 9-yard TD pass with 11:41 left to give the Spartans a 27-24 lead. "I think we were underdogs in the majority of the games we played this year. It really didn't affect us."
Cook responded to the challenge by driving the Spartans for a field goal, hooking up with the wide open Josiah Price in the flat of the end zone and then burned 3½ critical minutes on the clinching drive, capped by Jeremy Langford's sealing 26-yard TD run.
Cook finished 24-of-40 for a career-high 304 yards and three scores. Langford ran 24 times for 128 yards, becoming the first player this season to top 100 yards against the Buckeyes.
The Buckeyes did that late in the first half when they closed to 17-10 at halftime. Braxton Miller opened the second half with an 8-yard TD run to tie and then gave Ohio State the 24-17 lead with a 6-yard run with 5:36 left in the third.
Michigan State answered with Michael Geiger's 44-yard field goal, which barely dropped over the crossbar, to make it 24-20 and Cook hooked up with a wide-open Price in the flat to make it 27-24 before Langford sealed it with his TD run with 2:16 left, which prompted coach Mark Dantonio to lobby for the Spartans to be playing in the title game Jan. 6.
"I can tell you this, we beat the No. 2 team," Dantonio said. "We're 12-1 so why not us? Why not us? I'll vote us No. 2."
Ohio State C/ATT YDS AVG TD INT
Miller 8/21 101 4.8 1 0
Michigan State C/ATT YDS AVG TD INT
Cook 24/40 304 7.6 3 1

Kings Jr. 5 67 13.4 0 48
Ohio State came into the game with the nation's longest winning streak (24), had not lost under Meyer in two seasons and had one of the nation's most productive offenses and underrated defenses.
With Carlos Hyde and Braxton Miller each over 100 rush yards…. Ohio State has multiple 100-yd rushers in 4 straight games (5 total this season); Buckeyes had 5 such games in the previous 15 seasons combined
Ohio State held scoreless in 1st qtr for 1st time since Oct. 27, 2012 at Penn State (won 35-23) Buckeyes entered the day with an FBS-high 220 points scored in the 1st qtr this season

Directed by filmmaker duo Hareesh Narayan and K Hari Shankar, the survival thriller featured Samantha in the titular role of Yashoda, a woman who agrees to join a surrogate program out of desperation to find her missing sister.

Carlita (Japanese: カリータ Karita) is a character who appeared in White—Victini and Zekrom and Black—Victini and Reshiram. She is Juanita's daughter and Damon's younger sister.
Carlita participates in the Harvest Festival battle tournament in Eindoak Town. She helps introduce Ash to Victini after her Hydreigon loses in a battle against Scraggy. Later, she helps in battling against her brother, using Hydreigon to help Iris escape from the Sword of the Vale.
Carlita used her Hydreigon in her battle against Cilan's Pansage in the Harvest Battle Tournament. It managed to defeat him with one powerful Dragon Breath. Upon seeing how powerful Ash's Tepig had performed in the Eindoak Town Harvest Festival Tournament, Carlita suspected that Tepig had been unknowingly powered up by Victini and requested a battle against him. Ash agreed, and used Scraggy to battle Carlita's Hydreigon. Although Hydreigon should have easily outmatched Scraggy due to the fact he was relatively young and inexperienced, another power-up by Victini allowed Scraggy to defeat Hydreigon with a single Headbutt. Carlita later used Hydreigon to help her and Iris (who had admired Hydreigon due to it being a Dragon-type) escape the collapsing castle.
In Victini and Zekrom, Hydreigon is Shiny. In Victini and Reshiram, it is normal colored.
Carlita first appears after Ash has beaten all Trainers except her in the Eindoak Town Harvest Festival Tournament. She asks Ash if he wants to battle her which Ash agrees. Later, she helps out the protagonists in stopping Damon from controlling the Castle of the Vale.
Hydreigon was Carlita's choice in the Eindoak Town Harvest Festival Tournament. It went up against Ash's Scraggy and was proven to be stronger as it was a fully evolved Pokémon. However, Hydreigon was subdued by Scraggy's Headbutt after Scraggy got a power up from Victini.
Hydreigon's only known move is Dragon Pulse.
A Hydreigon based on Carlita's Shiny Hydreigon was distributed to the Japanese players of Pokémon Black at Nintendo Zones in Japan starting on June 17, 2011, then were also distributed over Wi-Fi starting on July 8, 2011. Both the Nintendo Zone and the Wi-Fi distributions ended on September 8, 2011. It was also distributed to the Korean players of Pokémon Black over Wi-Fi from November 3, 2011 to January 31, 2012.
from June 17 to September 8, 2011.
Latin American Spanish Carla Carlita is used as her nickname. Carlita is the diminutive of Carla.

University stands by DeVos despite petition, protests
Anthony Gockowski | Editor in Chief, Alpha News
Thursday, May 4, 2017 11:40 AM
Students at Bethune-Cookman University are furious that Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos is slated to deliver their commencement address, calling the invitation an "insult" to graduates.
After confirming that DeVos is scheduled to speak at the school, which is among the nation's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), BCU alumnus Dominik Whitehead created a Change.org petition demanding that the invitation be rescinded.
At press time, the petition had garnered 5,661 signatures in the space of five days, approaching its goal of 7,500.
"With all the facts provided, why on earth would Bethune-Cookman University invite Secretary DeVos to be the commencement speaker for their spring graduation ceremony?" the petition asks. "Bethune-Cookman University doesn't need a photo op from the Trump Administration, we need action done by this administration for all HBCUs."
[RELATED: Majority of HBCU students favor evicting media from protests]
President Trump did, notably, recently sign an executive order reviving a White House initiative on HBCUs, and a White House press release boasted at the time that the Trump administration will do more for such institutions than the nation's first black president ever did.
But BCU students are still displeased with the selection of DeVos, taking particular issue with a recent comment she made calling HBCUs the "real pioneers when it comes to school choice," a statement she corrected the following day.
"Betsy DeVos doesn't understand that HBCUs were created because African Americans were excluded from mainstream institutions," the petition declares, saying DeVos "has no understanding of the importance, contributions, and significance of HBCUs."
The petition also complains about an April memo from DeVos that, according to the petition, "threatens to dismantle" income-based repayment plans and loan forgiveness programs that many BCU students utilize to help them repay student loan debt.
"President Barack Obama's administration offered income-based repayment plans and student loan forgiveness programs. DeVos' April 11th memo threatens to dismantle those very helpful programs," the document asserts. "This means that lenders will not have any restrictions while attempting to collect the money that was borrowed by students."
[RELATED: Prof says historically black university pressured him to discriminate]
Taking the matter one step further, a local NAACP chapter organized a demonstration against DeVos's invitation Wednesday, and many students are also vowing to protest at the commencement itself, according to News 13.
BCU President Edison Jackson, however, responded to the backlash with a statement Wednesday flatly refusing to withdraw the invitation, even taking full responsibility for extending it in the first place.
"The political and racial chasms in our county have deepened, and college presidents have struggled with these issues over the past few months," Jackson acknowledged, but added that while "some have responded by rescinding invitations to potentially controversial speakers...I am of the belief that it does not benefit our students to suppress voices that we disagree with, or to limit students to only those perspectives that are broadly sanctioned by a specific community."
[RELATED: School founded by black Civil War veterans eliminates history programs]
He went on to argue that the school's founder, Mary McLeod Bethune, would have supported the decision to bring DeVos to commencement.
"She did all she could during the nascent stages of this institution to equip her students with the necessary skills to navigate the precarious waters of fundamental disagreement," Jackson contends. "She modeled this by interacting with and uniquely engaging those who had to be convinced of her mission to provide education to her people."
Department of Education Press Secretary Liz Hill concurred with Jackson on the importance of exposure to contrasting viewpoints, saying in a statement that DeVos is "honored" to be delivering the 2017 commencement address at BCU, and "believes that open dialogue and a willingness to work together are key to solving our nation's most pressing issues."

"Italy, Spain and a Hat Shop in Charleston"
August 1 to 31, 2013
Reception for the artist August 1, 6 – 8 pm
The first gallery show in Columbia, S.C., to feature only encaustic paintings, Tim Floyd's "Italy, Spain and a Hat Shop in Charleston" will open on Thursday, August 1, 6 to 8 p.m. at City Art Gallery. A benefit for the Palmetto Health Children's Hospital, the opening will feature images from Floyd's travels in Italy, Spain, Charleston and other locales. The exhibition runs August 1 to 31, 2013.
The love of travel, sketching and encaustic painting coalesced into a body of work that was years in creating. Doing relatively quick sketches when sitting at a train station or in a restaurant, Floyd recorded his travels while keeping his art-making portable. A pen, a book and a watercolor set the size of his hand, were always with him. He always kept an eye out for unusual found objects that he stuck in his pocket and later worked into the painting.
Encaustic pieces are made with bees wax, resin, and pigment. The wax is heated and painted onto a panel. "The process is relatively new,' Floyd joked, 'it's only been around 2,300 years." The Egyptians created the Fayum mummy portraits with this technique around 300 AD. In the 20th century notable South Carolina artist, Jasper Johns, worked in encaustics.
This is the first gallery show in Columbia featuring only encaustic paintings. The majority of the paintings are of Italy where Floyd and his wife Carol spent five weeks touring and staying mostly on farms last year. Other pieces featured are from Barcelona, Charleston, Columbia, Huston, and the Bahamas.
Floyd, a native South Carolinian, studied art at the University of South Carolina. He studied encaustic painting in Asheville, NC.
Floyd chose to benefit Palmetto Health Children's Hospital for the sales during the opening because of his family's personal connection. "My daughter's life was saved through the care she received there. She has Muscular Dystrophy and would have died had it not been for having a hospital in our community that is dedicated to children. My hope is that you will buy a painting to enjoy in your home or office, but no matter what, please consider supporting Children's Hospital."

The input html looks like...
<input type="radio" name="var1" value="value1">Test 1</input>
<input type="radio" name="var1" value="value2">Test 2</input>
<input type="radio" name="var1" value="value3">Test 3</input>
<input type="radio" name="var1" value="value4">Test 4</input>

<input type="checkbox" name="var2" value="checkbox1">CB 1</input>
<input type="checkbox" name="var2" value="checkbox2">CB 1</input>
<input type="checkbox" name="var2" value="checkbox3">CB 1</input>
<input type="checkbox" name="var2" value="checkbox4">CB 1</input>

Everything works as expected and but as var2 allows for multiple checkboxes to be selected I would like to save multiple values.  I realise I need to do this as an array but I cant work it out.
Can anyone help or have a solution or example they can point me to?

A: it would be var2[] as the name and view the results as
foreach($_POST['var2'] as $checkedItem)
{
    echo $checkedItem;
}

A: The html:
`
<input type="radio" name="var1" value="value1">Test 1</input>
<input type="radio" name="var1" value="value2">Test 2</input>

<input type="checkbox" name="var2[]" value="check" /> CB 1
<input type="checkbox" name="var2[]" value="check" /> CB 2

`
and the SQL :

Array $_POST['var2'] contains the checkboxes.

A: Change the name of var1 to "var1[]", and change the name of var2 to "var2[]"...
 $var1 = $_GET['var1'];
 $var2 = $_GET['var2'];
 echo count($var1);
 echo count($var2);

A Year at Tewkesbury
Tewkesbury Abbey Schola Cantorum of Dean Close Preparatory School/Simon Bell
Carleton Etherington & Edward Turner (organ)
rec. 9-10 March and 11-12 May, 2015, Tewkesbury Abbey
Texts included
REGENT REGCD474 [75:07]
I've heard several of the discs in Regent's 'A Year at….' series and I think they're an excellent way to showcase a cathedral or church choir. This release lets us hear the Tewkesbury Abbey Schola Cantorum of Dean Close Preparatory School. The somewhat lengthy name, which I will abbreviate to 'Schola' during this review, is worthy of explanation. The Schola is, in fact, one of two choirs that have the privilege of singing for the liturgies in the magnificent surroundings of Tewkesbury Abbey. I believe that weekend services are generally sung by the adult SATB Abbey Choir but weekday services, principally Choral Evensong, are celebrated by the Schola.
What is now the Schola was established when the Abbey School, a small independent preparatory school was founded in 1973. Here the boy choristers were educated until 2006 when the school was obliged to close. It seemed then that the future of the Abbey's all-male choir was in serious jeopardy but fortunately another independent school, Dean Close School in Cheltenham came to the rescue, the boys have been educated there ever since and the all-male choir, with its new name, continues to flourish. In addition to the trebles there are eleven Lay Clerks, all of them expert local singers. Since 2012 the choir has been directed by Simon Bell, who is also Director of Choral Music at Dean Close School. His predecessor in both posts was Benjamin Nicholas, now Director of Music at Merton College, Oxford, who in his 12 years at Tewkesbury laid the firm foundations on which, as this recording proves, Simon Bell is continuing to build impressively. On this disc the choir numbers 28 singers (17/3/4/4).
The programme starts with the season of Advent and proceeds through Christmas, Lent, Easter, Ascensiontide, Pentecost and Trinity to the last Sunday in the ecclesiastical year, which is the Feast of Christ the King. Along the way a number of individual feast days and festivals are also marked in music. The programme has been well chosen, striking a balance between a few staples of the repertoire and a good leavening of pieces that are less familiar.
Among the less familiar fare – at least to me – was Christopher Steel's Advent piece, People, look East which is a fresh, appealing composition. There's a local connection here in that Steel spent part of his career teaching music at the nearby independent school, Cheltenham College. I've heard a lot of Bob Chilcott's music before but not, I think, There is no rose, which here receives its first recording. It's a serene, gently flowing a cappella setting. The piece was published not long before the death of Sir David Willcocks who was Director of Music at Kings College Cambridge when Chilcott was a chorister there. Touchingly, the piece is dedicated to Sir David and dare I say I think it would have been right up his street. There's a nicely taken treble solo (William Evans) in the last verse.
As with Chilcott, I've heard and been impressed by a lot of David Bednall's choral music, mainly on disc, but Alleluya, a new work is come on hand is new to me. It was commissioned by the Schola and here gets a debut recording. It's a fine, energetic piece and, as is often the case with Bednall, there's an important organ part. At the other end of the programme stands another Schola commission in the shape of Matthew Martin's Laudate Dominum. This was written to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the choir's foundation and also in memory of Miles Amherst, their founder. Martin was a fitting choice for this commission, not just because he's an excellent composer but also because I'm almost certain he was a pupil at Dean Close School in the late 1990s. This piece is a Latin setting of Psalm 150 and, as John Lee rightly observes in his notes, it's 'a riot of rhythmic excitement where choir and organ spark off one another in a song of uncompromising praise, music and joy.' I have heard this before on a disc devoted to Martin's choral music (review) but I'm delighted to hear also the punchy, vital account of it by the choir which gave the first performance. Martin's I sing of a maiden couldn't be more different. It's a gentle, lovely piece and I enjoyed the treble solo (Tom Richardson) at the start.
Also completely new to me was Gracious Spirit by Sebastian Forbes. This is another adventurous choice. Sung here, appropriately, as a Pentecost anthem, it was composed for the marriage of two members of the BBC Singers so I think we can guess that there were some pretty expert singers on hand that day to do the honours. It's a tonally ambiguous piece, during much of which the choir sings unaccompanied. I understand that the dynamics never rise higher than mf. I doubt it's easy to sing but the Schola makes a good job of it.
More familar fare comes from Elgar in the shape of his expansive and often dramatic anthem, Give unto the Lord. The Schola sings this very well, both in the big, 'public' passages and in the more reflective episodes while Carleton Etherington makes a splendid contribution from the organ loft. Also on a grand scale is Bairstow's Sing ye to the Lord which also features an imposing organ part. Indeed, so majestic is the organ contribution at times that one might expect that Bairstow had written the anthem during his long tenure at York Minster when he had the large organ at his disposal. In fact he wrote it a couple of years before moving to York when he was organist at Leeds Parish Church. The Schola is just as successful in the calmer music of the same composer's I sat down under his shadow.
Though I haven't mentioned every piece in the programme I can attest that the same high standards of performance apply throughout. The Schola is on fine form here and Simon Bell's discerning programme puts them through their paces in a wide variety of styles. They receive splendid support from both organists, Carleton Etherington and Edward Turner.
Tewkesbury Abbey is a wonderful place in which to sing. Gary Cole has recorded the singers – and the organ – very well indeed, making expert use of the Abbey's generous acoustic. The excellent documentation includes succinct but very useful notes by John Lees.

Roman J. Israel, Esq | Denzel Washington is a law unto himself
By Jason Best published 9 June 18
All rise.
Denzel Washington was Oscar-nominated for his role here as a socially awkward defence attorney, but he's much better than the film, writer-director Dan Gilroy's disappointing follow-up to his gripping 2014 debut movie Nightcrawler. An uneven mix of legal thriller and character drama, Roman J. Israel, Esq finds Washington's idealistic back-room lawyer struggling to adapt to a more public role after his partner goes into a coma. With roles for Colin Farrell's slick legal hotshot and Carmen Ejogo's civil-rights activist, the plot gets rather contrived. But Washington, sporting a shaggy Afro, baggy suit and shambling walk, is never less than compelling.
Certificate 12. Runtime 122 mins. Director Dan Gilroy
Roman J. Israel, Esq available on Digital, and on DVD from 11 June.

While Lin Feng was reading the scriptures, Ao Jiao finally managed to grab the ring.
After putting it on his finger, he inspected its content and let his soul penetrate into it.
His voice contained the strength of a dragon, causing the entire crowd to shake.
''There is nothing inside, if you don't believe me, have a look yourself.'' said Ao Jiao without explaining too much. He threw the ring and Duan Wu Ya caught it.
Duan Wu Ya inspected the ring, as expected, Huang Feng's things and memories were all inside. Even though there were many things inside, there was nothing that belonged to the emperor. Huang Feng had died without obtaining any benefits. Of course, from the moment Huang Feng chose to enter the palace on his own, he was already doomed. There were only two possibilities, one was obtaining the emperor's treasures and possibly having the strength to defend himself, the other was finding nothing and dying once everyone broke in.
That person narrowed their eyes. Ao Jiao was right, if Huang Feng really obtained the emperor's treasures he would never chance gifting them to someone else. Nobody was ready to accept the eventuality that that ring might contain nothing interesting at all.
''If the emperor's treasures were really inside that ring, I would take it and leave with it already.'' Ao Jiao said while pulling up his sleeves, determined to continue hunting for treasures. People gradually started to believe him, turning back to Lin Feng and wondering what he found out.
A terrifying black hand was appearing in front of Lin Feng. A single glance at that hand made their heart's ache.
''What's going on? Has he obtained an incredible skill?'' the crowd couldn't understand the writings either.
''Where is the treasure? Where? According to the legends, there were the jade skills in the Jade Emperor's Hall so why couldn't they find them?'' The crowd was looking everywhere. Was the emperor's treasures in those scriptures and holy marks?
At that moment, a terrifying deadly energy had filled the air as Lin Feng stopped practicing his skill and stood up.
He turned around and looked at Tang You You and his other friends. He looked solemn, he owed his friends for everything he just learnt, if someone had attacked him while he was practicing he might have lost it all.
''You You, Mo Xi, Fei Yang, Fu Long, and others, I hope you can help me.'' said Lin Feng. Jun Mo Xi and the others narrowed their eyes, Lin Feng had seemingly just learnt an amazing skill, what did he need from them? Maybe it had something to do with the great emperor's treasures?
''Hehe, I will help you no matter what you need.'' Huang Fu Long said gleefully. He had finally recovered now. Jun Mo Xi and Yun Fei Yang nodded as well. Lin Feng was ready to go through anything and even risk his life for them so why would they refuse?
Yu Tian Ji looked at Lin Feng, he had been silently observing Lin Feng while he was practicing. Yu Tian Ji felt like something extraordinary was occuring in Lin Feng's body.
''Alright.'' Yu Tian Ji said indifferently, yet confidently.
Everybody nodded, one after the other.
Lin Feng only made a few steps and stopped in front of the emperor. He was fixedly staring at him, the incredible emperor... even if he had died, he still looked majestic and dignified.
''Boom boom boom!'' Frightening rumbling sounds spread in the air, the emperor statue began shaking. What was going on?
A black fire filled with deadly energy was burning in Lin Feng's hand, but he was looking at the emperor so calmly.
The crowd watched Lin Feng raise his hand and reach out at the emperor. The rumbling sounds became more fierce as a terrifying imperial Qi attempted to block Lin Feng's hand. However, the imperial Qi couldn't withstand it and was dispersed. Lin Feng's deadly energies kept moving forwards and crashed into the emperor's body, assaulting his vital organs.
''Boom!'' The crowd was astonished, their hearts were pounding painfully, their brains seemed like they were going to explode. Lin Feng was using his hand to attack the emperor's vital organs?!
Yu Tian Ji had anticipated Lin Feng's action but was still astonished. That was the jade emperor, he was an emperor.. Even if he had already died, he was as glorious as before. He wasn't as strong as the past but even the Jade Heaven and East Sea Dragon Palace people wouldn't look at him because of his strength.
But at that moment, Lin Feng was defying their realities. He used his hand assaulted the great emperor's body.
''Boom!'' A terrifying Qi invaded the entire atmosphere, imperial Qi rolled about as a silhouette appeared. It looked majestic and dignified. That silhouette looked like that of an incredible and majestic emperor. People were shivering, they felt like they were going to collapse from the pressure. A pair of ice-cold looking pupils were staring back at Lin Feng.
The crowd was aghast. Lin Feng was insane, he was purely insane! That person was the emperor, the dignified and majestic emperor!
''That's only an image left by the emperor when he died, it's not the real emperor. Otherwise, he would have killed Lin Feng with the blink of his eye.'' the crowd figured, but they respected Lin Feng for his guts to oppose such a figure.
''Protect me.'' shouted Lin Feng while closing his eyes. The terrifying light which had been building finally penetrated into Lin Feng's brain.
''Fifty thousand souls, protect mel!'' Lin Feng was struggling to oppose that light, he was lucky to have the broken spirit skill, if it was someone else their soul would have torn apart already.

Home > News > Blog > Hybrid NVR or VMS? Which Solution is Best for Your Business?
A quality networked video recorder (NVR) and software-based video management system (VMS) will both do an excellent job of recording and safeguarding your surveillance video. But one option will probably be a better fit for your business. So how do you choose? Let's take a closer look at the pros and cons of each solution.
The NVR is a plug-and-play solution, which means it's great for locations with limited (or no) in-house IT expertise. You simply connect it to your system-compatible cameras and you're ready to go. Video is streamed on a separate dedicated network, so it doesn't overwhelm your corporate network, leaving it free to deal with regular day-to-day traffic.
NVRs are purpose-built for recording video so they are packed with features that ensure superior performance and reliability. Our 8000 Series Hybrid NVRs, for example, have an embedded, Linux-based operating system, so they are extremely secure and less susceptible to viruses.
One of the biggest advantages to using a hybrid NVR solution is the flexibility it provides. Hybrid NVRs support systems using all analog or all IP cameras, or a combination of both, allowing businesses to leverage past investments in analog infrastructure while transitioning to an all IP solution as budget allows.
Capacity, however, is a potential downside to the NVR solution. Typical NVR configurations range from 4 to 32 video channels, which is more than enough for the typical banking branch or retail store, but may not provide enough camera support for a wide-scale campus deployment. Storage capacity is also finite. You could hit full capacity based on the number of cameras you have connected, the number of embedded hard-drives available, and the quality of the video you are recording. Also, if you want to store a lot of high-definition video for extended periods (or more video than an NVR is typically designed to hold) you will need to add an archiving system, such as a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device or RAID unit. Then other considerations come into play, such as how to stream the video to your company's backbone computer, and the bandwidth available on your network.
The VMS solution is an application that you add to your existing IT network infrastructure, usually working with in-house IT staff. Once in place, a VMS surveillance solution can be as easily managed as any other software application running in your company's day-to-day operating environment. Existing IT security protocols safeguard the system from unauthorized access, viruses, and so on.
A VMS solution runs as installed software or in a virtual environment, allowing it to expand easily along with your business. You can add surveillance cameras, increase frame rates, and store video for as long as you want. You also don't have to decide up-front what your video surveillance requirements are going to be: the system can grow in-line with your business. If you need to add video surveillance to a new wing of your building, for example, the VMS lets you do that seamlessly. And you are not constrained by a maximum camera count – as long as your IT department is able to expand the networking resources assigned to video surveillance to ensure adequate support for the extended service.
One potential downside to using a VMS solution is the requirement for IP cameras. Organizations using analog cameras, or a combination of both analog and IP, must either replace all their analog cameras with new IP cameras or add encoders to digitize the analog video stream before it can be carried over the network and stored.
So which one makes more sense?
The answer to that question depends on your business.
You need fewer than 32 cameras per location.
You don't anticipate significant growth in the number of cameras required.
You have a security organization with a deep understanding of physical security environments or have few IT resources on-site.
Hybrid NVRs are often the perfect solution for retail banking branches, retail chains and similarly-sized locations, or remote operations with limited bandwidth.
You already have in-house IT skills and expertise to run the application.
An enterprise management system exists and has the computing and storage capacity to handle the new application.
Building coverage is large and/or dynamic and future expansion is likely or already planned.
A VMS is often the solution of choice for regional and headquarter offices, and medium-to-large campus environments, such as hospitals, airports and colleges or universities.
It's important to note that video management platforms are available that can integrate both solutions.
Organizations with multiple points of presence will likely want to choose a hybrid NVR solution for smaller locations and a VMS for their regional and/or headquarters operations. It then becomes crucial that you choose standards-based solutions that can be integrated into a single management platform. Not all solutions will allow you to do this. Make sure you select a vendor that offers a range of flexible, standards-based solutions and the tools you need to manage them.

In this sequel to Under the Never Sky, Aria and Perry finally meet again after being apart for months. Both face difficult situations–Perry has taken over as Blood Lord of the Tides and Aria is tasked with finding the Still Blue in order to bargain for Talon's freedom. Aria is still trying to figure out where she belongs in the world outside of Reverie, but when she goes back to the Tides with Perry she feels more out of place than ever. With an increase in the frequency of Aether storms, Aria realizes that the only way to save both the Tides and Perry's nephew is to find the Still Blue on her own.
I was a big fan of the first book in this series but I can honestly say that Through the Ever Night was even better! Aria and Perry each face an entirely different situation in this book that not only tests their strength but also tests their belief in each other. The dual narrative worked especially well in this book because Aria and Perry were apart for about 90% of it. It was interesting to see the completely different things they were going through but how it affected each of them in similar ways. Both are dealing with loss–Aria is still trying to get over the loss of her mother and Perry is trying to get over his brother's death by his own hand. They are also both dealing with doubts they have about their relationship. Aria finds it hard to believe that with all of the differences between them that they will ever be able to really be together, and Perry doubts Aria's belief in him after she leaves him behind to go in search of the Still Blue.
I really loved how everything was far from perfect when Perry became leader of the Tides. It was very realistic of any change of government–Perry faces a lot of dissension among the Tides, especially once he brings Aria into the picture. Many members of the tribe still believe that Perry's brother made a better leader and deliberately go against any ideas that Perry comes up with. He has to do a lot to prove himself to the tribe before he earns their trust. This really makes Perry grow up even more than he already has and he realizes that he has an entire tribe depending on him to save them.
One of my favorite characters is definitely Roar and I was really glad that we learned much more about him in this book. He accompanies Aria on her journey north because he is still in search of Liv. We learn more about his and Liv's relationship along the way and it becomes evident what an extremely loyal person he is, not only to Liv and Perry but to Aria as well.
Overall, Through the Ever Night was an amazing sequel with fantastic character development, incredible world building, and an ending that left me eagerly anticipating the next book!
Through the Ever Night was released on January 8, 2013 and is the second book in the Under the Never Sky series. The third book, Into the Still Blue, is expected to be released in 2014.
