Turkey has confirmed its first MERS-CoV case, involving a man who visited Saudi Arabia, according to media reports, and Saudi Arabia announced steps today to stop an ongoing cluster of cases in Taif, where three more have been reported in the past 3 days.
The three latest MERS-CoV (Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus) cases in Taif, near Mecca, are among five cases reported by the Saudi Ministry of Health (MOH) over the weekend and today. One of the new cases was fatal.
The MERS case in Turkey involved a man who had traveled to Saudi Arabia and was sick on his return, on Oct 6, according to Today's Zaman, an English language newspaper in Turkey. He was hospitalized, and he died on Oct 11, said the story, which quoted the Turkish health ministry.
The story did not say whether he had gone to Saudi Arabia for the Hajj, which ended Oct 7, nor did it give any other details about the man.
Turkey's health ministry advised the man's contacts, including other passengers on his flight from Saudi Arabia, to see their doctors for a health screening, the story noted.
An Oct 16 report from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) listed 22 countries that have reported MERS cases, making Turkey the 23rd. All cases have been linked directly or indirectly to countries in the Middle East, mainly Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, the Saudi MOH announced two new MERS cases today and three over the weekend, with three of the five in Taif.
In an unusual statement today, the ministry said nine cases have been confirmed in Taif over the past 2 weeks and warned that more may be on the way.
Fakeih conducted an "urgent inspection" of two hospitals in Taif, King Faisal and King Abdulaziz, the statement said.
It said some of the recent cases probably were due to exposure to camels, while others have been secondary cases among patients and staff members in local hospitals.
•The dialysis unit at King Abdulaziz Hospital is being disinfected, and additional dialysis units are being moved to King Faisal to allow the diversion of some patients from King Abdulaziz.
•King Abdulaziz Hospital will transfer MERS patients to King Faisal, the designated MERS hospital for Taif.
•Experts are assessing and monitoring infection control measures at the two hospitals, including fit testing for the "face masks" that staff members wear when caring for MERS patients.
•The isolation ward for MERS patients at King Faisal is being split into two parts, one for suspected cases and one for confirmed cases.
•Dialysis units in Taif are adding an extra shift with the aim of preventing infection by reducing the number of patients being treated in each session.
The MOH also said it is expanding its collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture in Taif, because some of the recent MERS cases are believed to be related to exposure to camels.
The five latest cases included three in males and two in women, with an age range of 17 to 66. None of the patients reported animal exposures before they got sick.
One case was reported Oct 18, in a 66-year-old Saudi man in Taif who is not a healthcare worker and has a preexisting disease. He was in a hospital intensive care unit (ICU).
Two cases were reported yesterday. One involved a 55-year-old Saudi woman in Al Jawf who died of the illness, while the other is in a 65-year-old man in Taif who is in an ICU. Neither patient is a health worker, and both had preexisting conditions.
Two more cases were reported today, in a 17-year-old boy in Riyadh and a 35-year-old expatriate woman in Taif. The boy has a preexisting illness and is in an ICU, the MOH said. The woman is a health worker who has no preexisting condition and is hospitalized.
In addition to the new cases, the MOH on Oct 18 announced the death of a previously reported case-patient, a 69-year-old Saudi man in Taif.
With the latest cases, the MOH's MERS count has reached 770 cases with 328 deaths. Twelve cases remain active, and 430 patients have recovered.


Google Flight Search Spamming Google's Search Results?
Home > Other Search Topics > Search Spam > Is Google Flight Search Spamming Google's Search Results?
Martin MacDonald notified me on Twitter of Google Flights spamming Google with links in their footers and potentially even hiding links to users but not GoogleBot, which would be potentially cloaking which is also against Google's webmaster guidelines.
For some reason the Google Cache doesn't show the links either but when you change your user agent to GoogleBot, GoogleBot does render those links.
hey @JohnMu @dannysullivan you guys cloaking or something?
Google has gotten themselves into trouble before with cloaking, leading to Google banning themselves and for AdWords cloaking also. Plus they have penalized themselves for unintentionally going against their own guidelines before.
In this case, I am not sure because it is a beta release of a new version of Google Flights. So the cloaking might not be there, it is a fuzzy thing to call out on. But the links and content landing pages might be a bit too much?

Young Girl Struck by Unknown Gunfire, Dies, Family Holds Vigil
Crime, Local News, Texas, Us News, USA
Police in Corpus Christi, Texas, are looking into a shooting on New Year's Day that claimed the life of an 11-year-old girl on the city's south side. When police arrived on the scene after receiving a gunshot complaint, the victim's family members had already taken her to a nearby hospital.
Unknown Bullet Kills Young Life
At 12:01 a.m. on Sunday, police were called to the 6600 block of Everhart about a shooting victim. As the 11-year-old victim entered the hospital, officers started to arrive. The officers were informed that the young girl had died from her wounds.
Although it's unknown how the girl was hit by gunfire, several users of social media applications have theorized that she might have been hit by a falling bullet at random on New Year's Eve as many people fired their weapons.
The victim's father, Robert Silva, said that he heard two dings hit the area before hearing his daughter say, "ouch" after which she fell to the ground and started bleeding. He already knew a bullet had struck her. A source posted that the victim's mother, Silva Milinda Cruz, said she was still in shock and doing her best to help her family cope with their tragedy.
Vigil For The Young Soul
Robert Silva expressed gratitude for the community's support despite the family's loss. On Sunday night, a prayer vigil was arranged for the victim, and many members of the neighborhood showed up to show their support. Knowing how many people love his daughter means a lot to them and comforts them.
On Sunday night, no one had been arrested as the Criminal Investigation Division detectives continued to actively investigate this event. Because they are still looking into the sad tragedy that occurred on Sunday morning, police have not yet disclosed the victim's name or age.

Disobedient Objects
Disobedient Objects is an exhibition about the art and design produced by grassroots social movements. It will show exhibits loaned from activist groups from all over the world, bringing together for the first time many objects rarely before seen in a museum. This blog will chart the process of mounting the exhibition with contributions from curators, conservators, technicians and some of the people who are lending their objects. We'll be telling the in-depth stories behind some of the exhibits and exploring the issues and challenges raised by the exhibition with guest bloggers. We'll also be introducing a few new disobedient objects beyond the exhibition itself.

I've been thinking a lot about what makes us laugh. Obviously our sense of humour evolves as we mature, but how much does it actually change?
Is it a case of once a fan of sitcom/stand-up/surreal/slapstick, always a fan of the same category?
How much do we need to identify with the subject matter? Do we only laugh at comedians the same age as us? Does comedy have to be age-specific?
In some ways it does. I would never have been able to appreciate the black humour of being the middle layer of the sandwich generation if I hadn't experienced it for myself.
Yet in other ways age doesn't come into it. If I'm listening to a 30-something riffing about a tragic Tinder date, for instance, I still identify with a funny story that is born of disaster.
One thing I have noticed is that recently my preference has become more gender-specific. It dawned on me as I compiled a list of who makes me laugh, and the number of women far outweighed men.
The more I thought about it, the more I realised that while the much-missed Victoria Wood was a genius, for most of her career she was a minority. Apart from Wood and the more traditional Carla Lane, comedy was dominated by men – as performers, actors and writers – and the women they created rarely ventured beyond a stereotype.
But now the playing field has evened out and, whether women are performing their own stand-up, writing scripts or books, appearing as panel guests or acting in comedic roles, the depth and breadth of their subject matter chimes and resonates.
Sharon Horgan Her writing nails modern womanhood, as both 'Catastrophe' (in which she also stars) and 'Divorce' (created for Sarah Jessica Parker) absolutely prove. Her characters are messy, flawed and real – and all the more funny for it.
Twentysomething comedies 'Fleabag', 'Chewing Gum' and 'Girls' (respectively written by and starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Michaela Coel and Lena Dunham) have me honking with laughter, even though it's several decades since I was that age. They're frequently filthy, often surreal, yet heartfelt and honest.
Seventysomething comedies Netflix's comedy drama 'Grace and Frankie' was co-created by Marta Kauffman (who was also behind 'Friends') and stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin as two seventysomething divorcees. It makes me giggle, even though I've got to clock up a lot of years to belong to that age group. 'Golden Girls' they are not.
All these women, and the many others I admire, are using laughter to tackle important issues – things that matter to women of all ages.
They're not angry in the way that Ben Elton, Alexei Sayle and Rik Mayall were ranting young men in the '80s, but they still pack a punch.
They have something to say. It's about all the stages we've been through or have yet to embrace: juggling family and career, negotiating relationships, the pressures of being a good parent, breaking through the glass ceiling, being seen and listened to.
This is cross-generational comedy. We can recognise ourselves in the characters they create, the subjects they tackle, whether we experienced those situations years ago or now.
These women are writing about real life, and still making us laugh. I salute them.
What or who makes you laugh? Let us know in the comments section below.

Title: RACES OF PUCCINIA GRAMINIS IN THE UNITED STATES DURING 1994
McVey, Donald
Long, David
Submitted to: Plant Disease
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A
Interpretive Summary: Stem rust caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis can cause severe damage to susceptible varieties of wheat, barley, and oat. Epidemics of wheat stem rust in the Great Plains typically start in winter wheat in Texas and spread north as far as the Prairie Provinces of Canada each year. To protect cereal crops from stem rust it is necessary to breed rust resistant varieties. It is also necessary to survey rust populations to determine which races are present and where they occur in the USA each year. The reason is that resistance against some races of stem rust may not be effective against other races. This is especially important for wheat, because the very extensive wheat acreage in the Great Plains makes the area vulnerable to epidemics. In our 1994 survey, three races of wheat stem rust dominated the Great Plains population. None of these races is virulent on common spring wheat varieties in the Great Plains. Of 30 wheat lines tested, 14 with different resistance genes were resistant to all races found in 1993. These genes may provide resistance against new races. One race, pgt-QCCJ, made up 90% of the stem rust samples collected from barley. This race can overcome the resistance of all com- mercially grown barley varieties in the U.S. Stem rust damage to barley was not heavy in 1994, because the epidemic started late. Also, there was little stem rust damage to oats in 1994. The limited oat and barley acreage in the central Great Plains reduces rust spread to the north and limits epidemics on those crops.
Technical Abstract: Wheat stem rust overwintered in southern Louisiana and Texas. Wheat stem rust caused negligible yield losses in wheat in the U.S., and less than 1% loss in North Dakota. Race Pgt-TPMK was the most common race on wheat, making up 39% from 51 collections, while Pgt- QCCJ was most common from barley, making up 90% from 38 collections. Four collections from H. jubatum yielded six isolates of race TMPK, four isolates of race QCCJ, and one each of races RKQQ and RTQQ. No virulence was found to wheat lines with "single" genes Sr13, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 37, Gt, or Wdl-1. No oat stem rust was found in late March in southern Texas along the Gulf Coast and Florida. Yield losses in 1944 were negligible. Race NA27, virulent to Pg-1, 2, 3, 4, and 8, was again the predominant race in the United States comprising 87% of the 119 isolated from 41 collections. NA-5, and NA-16 were the two other races identified from the United States, comprising 3 and 10% of the races. Only race NA-29 was identified from 50 collections from Central Mexico.


AGUSAN DEL SUR, Jan. 27 (PIA) -- The Provincial Government of Agusan del Sur (PGAS) started to expand its information network with the conduct of a two-day training on basic communication skills with designated department information officers as participants in order to equip them with knowledge on how to communicate their respective programs and accomplishments to satisfy the need of the Agusanons to know what the provincial government is doing.
According to Provincial Public Information Officer Alfredo Plaza, the two-day seminar workshop aims to improve the performance of the various offices through effective, credible and attainable information programs. It will also ensure to provide timely, relevant and adequate development-oriented information to the media, local government units and the general public.
"Aside from those I mentioned, we believe the training will enable our department information officers establish a good media relations through information related activities among practicing journalists. The training will also equip the participants promote the provincial government's development thrust through tri-media facilities and assist in the facilitation of the creation of PGAS information linkages with various sectors and NGO's in the community, while maintaining linkages with media, municipal government offices and national government agencies," Plaza said.
Not only data gathering as materials for information or news releases were taught to the participants. Demonstration on video production and camera handling were also introduced in order that the participants will have knowledge to produce raw materials to feed to NBN Agusan del Sur for television release. Together, basic news writing for radio, TV and print were also introduced in order to deliver comprehensive information to wider scope.
While skills on basic media practices were introduced, communication planning on specific communication problems within the participants' offices were demonstrated so that specific solutions and messages can be applied to address the communication problem.

FiberOptic.com believes Fiber optics are making railways safer by helping protect commuter and freight trains from accidents. The specific method which helps transportation organizations accomplish this is when railways install fiber-optic sensors to help protect commuter and freight trains from accidents. A press release this past September from The Optical Society explains that within just a few years these systems have taken over 10 million measurements in order to prove their effectiveness in detecting "excessive vibrations, mechanical defects or speed and temperature anomalies." These irregularities can sometimes lead to derailments or similar accidents, and the system is designed to alert train operators to these issues before an anomaly develops into something dangerous. The sensors are either set into mechanical compartments of the train, or installed on the tracks.
Hwa-ywa Tang of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University explained that within the seven year trial period, the fiber system detected at least 30 irregular vibrations and potentially prevented several train wrecks. Because of the fiber-optic sensor system, the rail company is able to save roughly $250,000 each year in railway maintenance. Tam went on to discuss how this system less than a third of other available systems, as those "typically require data to be integrated from a half dozen different types of monitoring systems."
Chris LaBonge, President of FiberOptic.com explains, "The introduction of fiber optics into this application or system has several other advantages. Since the system facilitates optical detection and communication, the system has no issues with electromagnetic interference such as from power lines, which frequently run parallel to rail lines." LaBonge goes further to explain how FiberOptic.com's field services parter company Adtell Integration has worked with organization like the Metropolitan Transit Authority or MTA based in New York City on the installation and fiber characterization testing of fiber optic lines which parrellel most of their system. He feels there may be potential for fiber optics within their opperations outside general networking or telecommunications applications which are currently deployed. He sites one example as the use of passive fiber Bragg grating sensors to observe the state of a train route.
High-tech precautions such as this are vital to many international passengers as the cars are capable of traveling over 300km per hour. It's our understanding, this system is being set up in every commuter train route in Hong Kong, and in the near future Australia will begin setting up their own systems.


It's never easy to know when to let go when it comes to side projects. Should you keep pushing a few more months? Is it really worth it? Is there light at the end of the tunnel?
When you decide to stop working on a side project, there are several options: you could shut it down, or you could sell it to someone. Here are a few places where people buy and sell side projects which you could explore to let go of your current not-quite-right-for-me side project.
1Kprojects is a curated marketplace where makers sell their abandoned projects for less than $1000. You can add unlimited projects for free and get offers from prospective buyers. You only pay when you actually get offers – if your product gathers interest and you get enough offers, you can pay a small one time fee to unlock all existing and future offers for that project, and to be able to reach out to the buyers directly.
You could also give Side Projectors a try. They accept all types of side projects, from website to mobile app and even hardware products. Most side projects on sale fall under the $0-$1000 range.
Transferslot positions itself as a curated marketplace where profitable side projects founders can sell their product to our community of trusted buyers. It's currently free to post as a user, and prospective buyers can pay a small fee to get early access to the latest offers.
Not sure how much your side project is worth and if you should try and sell it in the first place? Pieter Levels created a handy tool to figure out exactly how much your side project is worth. In his own words, this calculator will help you figure out a base price to aim towards when negotiating selling your side project. You can then go and post it on more traditional websites such as Flippa.

Our Holistic Nutritionist ensures that retreat attendees receive the most nourishing and delicious food this town can offer. She has created an eclectic menu based on the best quality ingredient sourcing available to ensure all clients cravings are being satisfied while still considering their waistlines.
Personal Training A knowledgeable personal trainer will create a customized exercise program designed to help you reach your unique health and fitness goals. Having a scheduled session with a trainer promotes accountability on your part, and can assist in developing adherence in the long run to making exercise a regular part of your routine. In addition to the outside motivation, a personal trainer can also help you develop a more positive outlook on exercise by exploring options for making exercise more enjoyable, reviewing short-term progress towards goals, and assessing feelings and mood-state changes related to exercise, thereby improving self-confidence and self-motivation. Our personal trainers have a vast knowledge of exercises, tools and techniques that can make workouts both fun and effective while taking into account special considerations (e.g. existing medical condition, medications taken, etc.) when creating personalized programs.
Using this information, we will discuss possible root causes of illness, create an overall plan of action and personal protocol, and our Nutritionist will provide preliminary dietary and lifestyle recommendations to set you on the right track for regaining optimal health.
These scheduled classes will allow participants to stay motivated in a group setting. Our fitness leaders design fun, effective classes that are suited to all body types and fitness levels, so that each individual can achieve results, no matter their starting point. Whether in our fitness center, on the beach, or in the ocean, you are guaranteed to enjoy yourself and learn new skills.
Outdoor Activities like kiteboarding, surfing, paddle boarding, zip lining, hiking, horseback riding, bonfires, etc.
Taking advantage of all that Cabarete has to offer, we have set up a variety of excursions that enable participants to get out and explore this beautiful island. With a focus on the appreciation of the natural environment, these events are strategically chosen because they improve coordination, fitness, challenge boundaries, and activate the sympathetic nervous system.

Q: C# Getting number of items in a JSON array that is in another JSON Object I'm trying to get the number of items in array "channels" which is inside an array called "modes". I've been easily able to get the name from the correct item in the "modes" array but now I need to get the number of items in the "channels" array.
Each "name" from the "modes" array is in a combobox names "cbxModes". I've tried having an if statement saying that is "name" is equal to "cbxModes.SelectedItem" then get number of items in "channels" from this item in "modes"
Here is my JSON
"modes": [
{
  "name": "1 – Standard 16bit RGBW",
  "shortName": "1-16bitRGBW",
  "channels": [
    "Pan",
    "Pan fine",
    "Tilt",
    "Tilt fine",
    "Pan/Tilt Speed",
    "Special Functions",
    "Virtual Color Wheel",
    "Red",
    "Red fine",
    "Green",
    "Green fine",
    "Blue",
    "Blue fine",
    "White",
    "White fine",
    "CTC",
    "Color Mix Control",
    "Zoom",
    "Zoom fine",
    "Shutter / Strobe",
    "Dimmer",
    "Dimmer fine"
  ]
},
{
  "name": "2 – Reduced 8bit RGBW",
  "shortName": "2-8bitRGBW",
  "channels": [
    "Pan",
    "Pan fine",
    "Tilt",
    "Tilt fine",
    "Pan/Tilt Speed",

    "Green",
    "Blue",
    "White",
    "CTC",
    "Color Mix Control",
    "Zoom",
    "Dimmer"
  ]
},
{
  "name": "1 – Standard 16bit CMY",
  "shortName": "1-16bitCMY",
  "channels": [
    "Pan",
    "Pan fine",
    "Tilt",
    "Tilt fine",
    "Pan/Tilt Speed",
    "Special Functions",
    "Virtual Color Wheel",
    "Cyan",
    "Cyan fine",
    "Magenta",
    "Magenta fine",
    "Yellow",
    "Yellow fine",
    null,
    null,
    "CTC",
    "Color Mix Control",
    "Zoom",
    "Zoom fine",
    "Shutter / Strobe",
    "Dimmer",
    "Dimmer fine"
  ]
},
{
  "name": "2 – Reduced 8bit CMY",
  "shortName": "2-8bitCMY",
  "channels": [
    "Pan",
    "Pan fine",
    "Tilt",

    null,
    "CTC",
    "Color Mix Control",
    "Zoom",
    "Shutter / Strobe",
    "Dimmer"
  ]
}
],

This is my C#
private void CbxMode_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        string FixtureRoot = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "Fixtures\\" + cbxManufacture.SelectedItem + "\\";

        string ModeRoot = null;

        var JSON_Mode_Count = (JObject)null;

        for (int i = 0; i < Directory.GetFiles(FixtureRoot).Length; i++)
        {
            var Fixtures = Directory.GetFiles(FixtureRoot);
            string Names = File.ReadAllText(Fixtures[i]);
            var JSON_Name = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(Names);
            if (JSON_Name.name == cbxFixture.SelectedItem)
            {
                ModeRoot = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "Fixtures\\" + cbxManufacture.SelectedItem + "\\" + JSON_Name.fixtureKey.ToString() + ".json";
                JSON_Mode_Count = JObject.Parse(File.ReadAllText(ModeRoot));

                JArray Modes = (JArray)JSON_Mode_Count["modes"];
                int numberOfModes = Modes.Count;

                string ModesJSON = File.ReadAllText(ModeRoot);
                var JSON_Mode = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(ModesJSON);

                foreach (var obj in JSON_Mode.modes)
                {
                    foreach (var obj2 in obj.channels)
                    {
                        if (obj.name == cbxMode.SelectedItem)
                        {
                            JArray Channels = (JArray)JSON_Mode_Count["channels"];
                            int numberOfChannels = Channels.Count;

                            lblChannels.Content = numberOfChannels.ToString();
                        }
                    }

                }
            }
        }
    }

TIA

A: Try to map the json directly to a c# object that has direct correspondence to the json. Instead of doing JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic> do something like JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ModesList> and your code will be a lot more simpler.
public class ModesList
{
    [JsonProperty("modes")]
    public List<Mode> Modes { get; set; }
}

public class Mode
{
    [JsonProperty("name")]

    public string Name { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("shortName")]

    public string ShortName { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("channels")]
    public List<string> Channels { get; set; }
}

A: It's usually easier to create a concrete model of your json as C# classes.  You can create a model of your json on the following classes (using something like json2csharp.com or special paste into visual studio):
public class Mode
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string ShortName { get; set; }
    public List<string> Channels { get; set; }
}

public class RootObject
{
    public List<Mode> Modes { get; set; }
}

Then you can deserialise using:
var data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(json);
foreach (var mode in data.Modes)
{
    var channels = mode.Channels;
    var channelCount = channels.Count();

    Console.WriteLine($"Name: {mode.Name}, Name: {mode.ShortName}, ChannelCount: {channelCount}");
}

A: There are tools available online for automagically generating classes from C# code, I however don't like them and prefer to it the manual way, so I'll show and try to explain the process.
JSON is structured, and everything in JSON is an object with properties. Here is a very simple example:
{
    "Name": "John",
    "Surname": "Doe"
}

This is valid JSON which represents an object with two Properties Name and Surname, the C# representation would be this:
public class Person
{
    public string Name {get; set;}
    public string Surname {get; set;}
}

Using Newtonsoft we can now deserialize our JSON to this Object like so:
JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Person>(json);

This is the simplest form of JSON deserializing, we have no nested objects and no lists/ arrays. Now lets look at those:
{
    "Name": "John",
    "Surname": "Doe",
    "Children": [{
            "Name": "Jane",
            "Surname": "Doe"
        },
        {
            "Name": "Jack",
            "Surname": "Doe"
        }
    ]
}

This now contains a JSON Array ([ ... ]) of Objects. We can see these Objects are once again just people. So we can alter our person class to this:
public class Person
{
    public string Name {get; set;}
    public string Surname {get; set;}
    public List<Person> Children {get; set;}
}

Now lets get to your actual JSON. Looking at it this is the data structure I came up with:
public class Parent
{
    [JsonProperty("modes")]
    public List<Mode> Modes {get; set;}
}

public class Mode
{
    public string Name {get; set;}
    public string ShortName {get; set;}
    public List<string> Channels {get; set;}
}

You can now deserialize the JSON like so:
var deserialized = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Parent>(json);

I hope this helps you in future projects.
Edit: This won't fully work. I didn't see the "modes": [ at the start of the JSON, this means there is a Parent object which I know nothing of. I fixed the deserializing

Another surprise comes when Allanah s first high school crush, Jason, reveals he s been sent by a clandestine council of wizards to test Allanah and Victoria s arcane talents. No one is more amazed than Allanah when, during her trial, she produces the world s first light dragon.
Allanah might be the only hope not just for her best friend but also for the survival of all the world s dragons. In addition to her monumental task, she struggles to understand her feelings between her new attraction to Cormac, the wizard general, and her emerging desire for a beautiful, forest-dwelling Igreefee girl named Dena.
