As I noted in a recent post, the Ad Hoc Committee of Bondholders (Oaktree, Whippoorwill Associates, and Solus Alternative Asset Management) withdrew their proposal to provide Dayton Superior with DIP financing after negotiating revisions to GECC's proposal (the filing with the new proposal is included in this document filed yesterday). The Ad Hoc Committee, DK Acquisition Partners and Silver Point Capital also withdrew their objections to the financing. The revisions greatly improved the economic terms offered to Dayton Superior.
DAYTON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dayton Superior Corporation (Pink Sheets: DSUPQ), the leading North American provider of specialized products for the nonresidential concrete construction market, today announced that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in Wilmington has approved an amendment to its $165 million debtor-in-possession (DIP) credit facility provided by GE Capital.
This amendment to the DIP credit facility reduces the interest rate at which the company can borrow money, provides the company additional time to reach key milestones in the chapter 11 process, reduces the required EBITDA milestones and contemplates that holders of the company's senior subordinated notes will be entitled to participate in a rights offering as part of the company's reorganization. In connection with this amendment, the holders of the company's senior subordinated notes and the lenders under the company's term loan credit facility have withdrawn their objections to the DIP credit facility and have reached an understanding in principle with GE Capital on a plan for the company's emergence from chapter 11. The company is working quickly to resolve the open issues and hopes to emerge from chapter 11 as soon as possible.
As previously announced, Dayton Superior filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in Wilmington on April 19, 2009. Additional information about the filing for creditors and other parties is available through a link on the Company website, www.daytonsuperior.com.
While the Company is in chapter 11, investments in its securities will be highly speculative. Investors should assume that shares of the Company's common stock have little or no value and will likely be cancelled upon consummation of the Company's reorganization. The outcome of the chapter 11 restructuring case is uncertain and subject to substantial risk. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its financial reorganization.
Dayton Superior is the leading North American provider of specialized products consumed in nonresidential, concrete construction, and we are the largest concrete forming and shoring rental company serving the domestic, nonresidential construction market. Our products can be found on construction sites nationwide and are used in nonresidential construction projects, including: infrastructure projects, such as highways, bridges, airports, power plants and water management projects; institutional projects, such as schools, stadiums, hospitals and government buildings; and commercial projects, such as retail stores, offices and recreational, distribution and manufacturing facilities.
the potential adverse effects of the chapter 11 proceedings on the Company's liquidity or results of operations.
This list of factors is not intended to be exhaustive, and additional information concerning relevant risk factors can be found in Dayton Superior's Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In drawing conclusions set out in our forward-looking statements above, we have assumed, among other things: the ability of the Company to obtain court approval with respect to its motions in the chapter 11 proceedings; the ability of the Company to operate pursuant to the terms of the DIP facility; the ability of the Company to prosecute, develop and consummate a plan of reorganization with respect to the chapter 11 proceedings; that the Company will be able to manage the risks associated with third party motions in the chapter 11 proceedings and they will not interfere with the Company's ability to develop and consummate a plan of reorganization; and the Company will be able to adequately manage any potential adverse effects of the chapter 11 proceedings on the Company's liquidity or results of operations.

A stunning new Clothbound Classics edition of Jane Austen's tantalizing final work - set to be a major Andrew Davies ITV adaptation this autumn
Written in the last months of Austen's life, Sanditon features a glorious cast of hypochondriacs and speculators in a newly established seaside resort, and shows the author contemplating a changing society with scepticism and amusement. It tells the story of Charlotte Heywood, who is transported by a chance accident from her rural hometown to Sanditon, where she is exposed to the intrigues and dalliances of a small town - and encounters the intriguingly handsome Sidney Parker.
This edition also includes the early epistolary novel Lady Susan and the delightful fragment The Watsons.
Jane Austen: The Complete Works

Jane Austen, the daughter of a clergyman, was born in Hampshire in 1775, and later lived in Bath and the village of Chawton. As a child and teenager, she wrote brilliantly witty stories for her family's amusement, as well as a novella, Lady Susan. Her first published novel was Sense and Sensibility, which appeared in 1811 and was soon followed by Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma. Austen died in 1817, and Persuasion and Northanger Abbey were published posthumously in 1818.

Startup Roundup: Jet.com, Axtria, CardCash, VEESAG Mobile, Fusar, KeyWe Meet
July 20, 2015 Esther Surden Off News,

Jet.com: Hoboken e-commerce site Jet.com is launching to the public Tuesday, July 21, and all eyes will be on CEO Marc Lore as the industry evaluates how the high-profile company's systems hold up to demand and if the company's pricing model works as advertised. They'll also be evaluating the shopping experience. Jet.com is an internet-based warehouse shopping club with a unique method of taking costs out of the system. Jet's technology platform optimizes orders for efficiency and empowers merchants with smart tools that enable them to offer lower prices without impacting profitability, CEO Lore said on his blog. All cost savings generated through Jet's platform get passed back to members in the form of lower prices. The site claims to be seven percent to 12 percent less expensive than "anywhere else on the Web." Jet.com profits from membership fees only.
Axtria: Axtria, a big data analytics mid-stage startup headquartered in Berkeley Heights, received $30 million in a Series C funding round to expand its services into new verticals and to grow its customer base, according to TechCrunch. The round was led by Helion Ventures, an early to mid-stage, India-focused venture fund with over $600 million under its management. Much of Axtria's operations are in India. Silicon Valley-based Gururaj "Desh" Deshpande and backers Amar Sawhney, Richard Braddock and Fred Khosravi were said to participate, TechCrunch noted. Founded in 2010 by Jassi Chadha and Navi Chadha, the company helps clients make better data-driven decisions. Jassi and Navi Chada were previously cofounders of marketRx, which was acquired by Cognizant Technology Solutions in 2007.
VEESAG Mobile: VESAG Health Inc., based at the New Jersey Economic Development Authority's Commercialization Center for Innovative Technologies (North Brunswick), announced that it had received a connected car patent and had changed the company name to VEESAG Mobile. First filed in January 2012, Patent 9,083,546 covers a system and method of monitoring a car, monitoring the health of the driver and connecting to an automation server at home. CEO Raj Sadhu said that a couple of automobile manufactures were already interested in using the monitoring technology in their cars. He noted that the reason for the name change was that the company's work and products are no longer limited to the healthcare field. However, the company also has a smartwatch for health called MPERSENS (Mobile Personal Emergency Response System), which has been tested by Sprint, "and found to be capable for use on the Sprint network," a release said.
CardCash: CardCash.com (Brick) cofounders Elliot Bohm (CEO) and Marc Ackerman (COO) were among those who received the NJ EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2015 Award at a celebration on June 25. The award encourages entrepreneurial activity among executives with potential, EY said in a release, and "recognizes the contributions of people who inspire others with their vision, leadership and achievement." The company was also ranked as the fourth-fastest-growing company in New Jersey for 2014. That award was presented by NJBIZ.
Fusar Technologies:Fusar Technologies (Jersey City) a former TechLaunch company that's an innovator in smart motorcycle helmet technology, has announced the closing of a $1.1 million seed financing round led by the Jumpstart NJ Angel Network. Co-investors include Casabona Ventures, the Chi Fan Group, Socialatom Ventures and investors from the equity crowdfunding platform SeedInvest.
KeyWe Meet—KeyWe Meet (Kingston), a dating site with a twist, launched this month. It allows customers to reconnect online with people they've met in person. Explained founder Jacqueline Tomko, when a user meets someone he or she is interested in, they exchange KeyWe Codes instead of phone numbers, enabling them to remain anonymous and delay the decision to disclose personal contact information. Customers can use their codes to search for a profile on the KeyWe Meet website, instead of being able to use the person's name and phone number to search the Internet for personal information.
An added benefit is access to more information than you would have if you just exchange phone numbers, Tomko said, because the profile includes answers to questions, shows some pictures and includes contact information, including the user's social media accounts and phone number. All of that information isn't disclosed to until the reconnection request is accepted.
Tomko said she got the idea for KeyWe Meet from her own experience. She was tired of losing out on dating opportunities because she wasn't comfortable giving out her phone number to people she met in a bar. Tomko said that she had used a development team in New Jersey to create her site.

Q: How can I pack an int as 32 bits big endian in Perl? Consider this snippet:
use strict;
use warnings;

my $data = "1";
my $packed = pack("I",$data);
open(my $file,">","test.bin") || die "error $!\n";
binmode $file;
print $file $packed;

The thing is, trying to read it from another language, this appears to be little endian. Is there any template argument that allows me to write it as big endian? I'd like to avoid doing extra work when reading.

A: Consider using the "N" template with pack:
http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/pack.html

A: The solution is the N template.
my $packed = pack "N", $data;

See the pack documentation for a list of all pack options.

Free and legal MP3: EP's Trailer Park (nostalgic sing-along from Sweden)
An airy, agile flute line sets the tone early, launching "Cynical Lover" into a partly-sunny haze of nostalgic piano chords, swaying melodies, and rich harmonies.
"Cynical Lover" – EP's Trailer Park
An easy-going sing-along with the air of the '70s about it. And no banjo or pedal steel at all, as those instruments were banned before the recording started. It was one of 12 "dogmatic rules" the band posted in advance, and apparently obeyed. The list is too good not to reproduce here:
1. A ban on all things Beatles
2. A ban on Pedal steel, banjo and mandolin
3. Vocals is the finest instrument
4. No alcohol or sweets in the studio
5. Acoustic instruments should go before electric
6. No guest singers or duets
7. The drums should sound like drums
8. The vocals will be sung shirtless
9. The coffee should be taken on Mellqvists and lunch at Rosen
10. Short songs should go before long songs
11. Beautiful is good
12. At least one murder ballad
An airy, agile flute line sets the tone early here, launching "Cynical Lover" into a partly-sunny haze of nostalgic piano chords, swaying melodies, and rich harmonies. Front man Eric Palmqwist sings with a fragile kind of assertiveness (I hear Rick Danko in this somewhere), and while his unschooled tenor is not the kind of voice one expects to hearing backed by close, invigorating harmonies, it all seems to work, and definitely urges all but the most impassive listeners to join in on the chorus.
Palmqwist started up EP's Trailer Park in 1999 after his previous band, Monostar, called it quits. This new effort was designed as a kind of revolving-door ensemble, with a variety of musicians passing through the "trailer park" over the years, including Tobias Fröberg (previously featured here) and Björn Yttling from Peter, Bjorn & John. Two of Palmqwist's three sidemen this time around remain from the last EP's Trailer Park album, in 2010. "Cynical Lover" is from the outfit's fourth album, which is self-titled, and was released in Sweden at the beginning of the year; the song was released as a single last month. You can listen to the full album on SoundCloud.

Free and legal MP3: Midlake (gorgeous British folk revival sound)
Last heard in a Fleetwood Mac-ish soft rock mode (2007's The Trials of Van Occupanther), the boys from Denton, Texas have reemerged with a renewed hankering for a more traditional-sounding British rock. But rather than the semi-psychedelic early Pink Floyd and Procol Harum-esque pageantry on display through much of Bamnan and Slivercork, their 2004 debut, the quintet takes it back a notch further to a '60s British folk scene sound–think Steeleye Span, think Fairport Convention, think gentle, chivalrous melodies and general melancholy woebegone-edness.
"Acts of Man" – Midlake
But me, I'm eating it up because the stuff is marvelously crafted, ravishingly performed, and drop-dead gorgeous. What a vibe the band has here! Tim Smith's medievally baritone is just the start of it. From the golden-toned acoustic guitar to the almost regal rumble of the drums to the deep and delicate flute lines and the potent minor-key melody that holds it all together, "Acts of Man" presents an aural landscape that all but makes me cry, for reasons beyond explanation. This is music working–as classical music is so often supposed to–at the level of pure emotion.
Apparently not everyone gets it. In addition to a number of supportive reviews, the new album, The Courage of Others, has gotten some notable pans, including a tone-deaf dismissal in Pitchfork. Normally I get a bit worked up over that kind of thing but this time it just occurs to me to feel badly for anyone whose head and ears can't let them hear the beauty and worth of this album. Released last week on Bella Union, it's only going to get better over time. MP3 via Insound.

Free and legal MP3: Ravens & Chimes (sprightly yet reserved indie rock)
Cheerful songs are usually vigorous things. Songs that seem hesitant, wavery, or otherwise introverted, on the other hand, tend to be at best wistful if not downright mournful. "Hearts of Palm" subverts the formula, and is all the more effective for it–a sprightly, hopeful-sounding song edged by an equivocal, somewhat trembling vibe.
"Hearts of Palm" – Ravens & Chimes
Some of this is due to the vocal qualities of Asher Lack, who sings like someone wading into cold water, at once timid and determined, while instruments chug forward around him. But listen and you'll hear how the music yet reinforces the partially timorous atmosphere: it's peppy, yes, but likewise stuttery, and lacking the oomph and crunch of a typical rock band. This isn't for lack of personnel. Ravens & Chimes is a six-person outfit, but the members are busier playing things like harmonium and flute and glockenspiel to bother with the din of standard-issue rock'n'roll. And so this is how we end up with this buoyant, reserved piece of pop and I for one am happier for having heard it. I especially love the agile, islandy flute lines and the beautiful, pure-toned female harmony vocal that blends and yet doesn't quite blend with Lack's quasi-speak-singing in the chorus.
"Hearts of Palm" is a single from the band's forthcoming and as-yet untitled second album. Its first CD, Reichenbach Falls, came out in 2007. Prior to the album's release, this song is slated to be released soon as the a-side of a 7-inch single. MP3 via the band's site.

Open Road
Watch: This Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza is a Crispy, Cheesy, Tangy Stunner
'Open Road' travels to Pequod's in Lincoln Park
by Eater Video and Bill Addison Dec 12, 2017, 4:31pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Watch: This Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza is a Crispy, Cheesy, Tangy Stunner
Chicago's restaurants put forth a literal universe of cuisines — but inevitably when talking about the city's native foods, the subject will turn to deep-dish pizza. Local food writers tend to roll their eyes when asked for pizza recommendations (partly because there's plenty of options in Chicago that are excellent), but several of them will argue for Pequod's.
The late Burt Katz, a local pizza legend, started the original Pequod's in 1971 in Morton Grove, a suburb just north of Chicago. Katz sold Pequod's long ago but developed the style of pie that the restaurant (with a second location in Lincoln Park) still serves: a centrist creation somewhere between thick and thin that bakes in a cast-iron pan in which grated parmesan has been scattered around the edges. The resulting blackened, lacy edge is irresistible, like the scorched edges of a molten lasagna.
Deep dish has its naysayers, but one advantage is that it can handle a profusion of toppings, begging for a piling of sausage, garlic, green peppers, and mushrooms. First timers should know that the pies take around 45 minutes to bake. But the reward is a carefully constructed stunner, crisp and tangy and rich, that best fulfills the potential of Chicago's famous creation.

Cherries move may provide Wilshere value
The Scout 8 Sep 2016
The Scout examines how an advanced role for AFC Bournemouth could unlock Arsenal loanee's FPL potential
Howe: Wilshere has given the whole place a lift External Link
Gallery: AFC Bournemouth train for West Brom External Link
Having lost playmaker Matt Ritchie to Newcastle United over the summer, manager Eddie Howe was keen to add more creativity to AFC Bournemouth's attack.
The Scotland international's departure has been felt by the Cherries so far – they have scored only twice in three Gameweeks and averaged an effort on goal every 10.6 minutes, the third-lowest rate of all Premier League sides.
Howe's loan acquisition of Arsenal's Jack Wilshere (£5.9million) could provide the perfect solution for both parties.
Limited to just 10 Premier League starts over the previous two seasons due to injury, the fit-again England international will be looking to establish himself as a regular at Vitality Stadium.
The Cherries manager has mainly utilised a 4-4-1-1 formation this season, with Josh King (£5.5m) sitting in a central-support role behind lone striker Callum Wilson (£6.4m).
King has clearly benefited from his advanced berth – he opened the scoring in the Cherries' 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace in Gameweek 3 and has registered more shots (six) than any team-mate so far.
Josh King (left) has been playing in an advanced role for AFC Bournemouth just behind Callum Wilson (right)
Yet Wilshere's arrival offers Howe a different option as he seeks to instil more craft and guile in the final third.
In the last season in which he played over 1,000 minutes (2013/14), the England midfielder registered a key pass every 54.8 minutes – a far more frequent return than former playmaker Ritchie's 74.5 last season.
A consistent run of starts in the first team should allow Wilshere to build up his match sharpness, potentially offering Fantasy Premier League managers an option in the sub-6.0 price bracket.
The upcoming schedule offers him an opportunity to make an immediate impression in his new surrounds.
According to the Fixture Difficulty Ranking, AFC Bournemouth are afforded a score of two or less for six of the next nine Gameweeks.
This offers favourable encounters with West Bromwich Albion, Watford, Hull City, Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Stoke City over that spell.
On his day, Wilshere undoubtedly has the talent to dictate matches and inspire the Cherries, though his acquisition comes with a caveat.
Considering he last played the full 90 minutes in any competitive match for Arsenal back in September 2014, those ongoing fitness concerns indicate a degree of caution should be exercised before committing to Wilshere's potential.
Saturday presents an early opportunity to assess that promise, with Wilshere in line to earn a Cherries debut against West Bromwich Albion and perhaps given a new attacking role with which to demonstrate his talents.

Muzzleloaders and a Thanksgiving shooting match, it just doesn't get any better.
Waterfowl seasons are open and the big firearms deer season is set to begin soon, but with Thanksgiving coming this week it's also time to think about turkeys. A turkey shoot, that is.
To most folks a turkey shoot is a shotgun affair with a dozen or more shooters lined up, aiming at paper targets, trying to get the closest pellet to the mark to win the various prizes. When you shoot muzzleloaders, however, especially if you shoot with the Choptank Muzzleloading club, a turkey shoot means something very different.
At this event there are no shotguns — only flintlock and percussion black powder rifles. You're not shooting paper targets either, but a series of metal targets hung in the woods, many made to look like bears, squirrels or other critters. You have to do all your shooting with the gear you can carry, too, meaning in your leather shooting bag and powder horn.
This match is scored hit or miss for each target, with the winner being the shooter to hit the most metal clangers. Yet the trick is that the person setting up the match always tries to make the course as difficult as possible. You'll have to lean around trees to shoot the targets, aim through clusters of branches, thread a roundball between two tree trunks or hit the smallest target at the far, most distant spot. The more good natured cussin' and fussin' that is generated amongst the shooters, the better the course and the day.
For the hunters in the crowd this shooting match is great preparation for the upcoming deer season. Shots of varied and unknown distances, shadows in the forest and branches in the way of your target make for realistic simulations of what you'll find afield while hunting. The more experience you can get at this type of shooting the better you'll be prepared when old mossy horns walks into view during the hunt.
Interestingly, there is historical significance for muzzleloading turkey shoots, although they were different in several regards. On the eastern Colonial frontier there are many stories of communal turkey shoots where friends and neighbors would gather to celebrate. The highlight of those days were the turkey shoot competitions, although back then the targets were real live turkeys.
The normal way those shooting matches were conducted was to tie a live turkey behind several logs, with enough slack in the rope to allow the bird to move back and forth behind the obstruction, which was just high enough to hide all but the bird's head. The winner was the first person to hit the turkey in the head, with the prize being the bird itself. Anyone who has ever watched a turkey bob and bounce his head will know how difficult it must have been to connect with that fist sized, moving target at 50 yards!
At our modern turkey shoot we don't shoot real birds, but we still win them. Prizes for this match are always frozen turkeys, with most shooters going home with a bird for Thanksgiving. The communal, social aspect of the historical matches is honored as well, as this match always has a big lunch afterward with deep fried turkey and plenty for everyone to eat. Muzzleloaders, turkeys and Thanksgiving, it just doesn't get any better!

Funny Farm fest seriously strange
By Peter GoddardSpecial to the Star
Mon., Aug. 6, 2007timer3 min. read
MEAFORD, Ont.–Maybe it was seeing the old car on the way up the dusty road, covered with green plastic rosettes like fake moss on a metal stump. Or maybe it was the drone of computer-generated sound, spacey and soulful over Bighead Valley.
Anyone within earshot of Electric Eclectics, which ended last night, would have known over the past three days that this was not your average, Woodstock-like festival for nostalgic hippies.
The second annual "Festival of Modern Music and Irritainment" was held on a 40-hectare spread known as The Funny Farm about a two-hour drive northwest of Toronto in an area better known for its apples, cottagers and road construction.
Most days the converted farm buildings double as studios and living space for festival organizers, sound guru Gordon Monahan and installation artist Laura Kikauka. In fact, the buildings represent an interlocking series of art installations. Imagine visiting the set of a '60s teenagers' television show as directed by Marcel Duchamp.
So at one level the festival setup could be described as "post-modern ramshackle." Portable toilets and campsites were found in one pasture for some of the 200 or so people who spent the entire weekend on the site, as well as for those visiting for the day. A state-of-the-art sound system facing a makeshift stage was in another field. Between them were food stands, one offering a "Lotus Burger."
In one sense, Electric Eclectics, with a budget of $50,000, was a low-key model of an arts festival organization, with more than 30 live sets over three evenings from 70 artists – many put up in various inns and bed 'n' breakfasts in the area.
"These are mostly old friends of ours who used to come up here on vacation anyway," said Monahan. "So these guys can come here for low, low cost, which is great, because we couldn't afford to do it otherwise."
A few festival friends, such as Mary Margaret O'Hara, could be considered art stars. ("The intimacy here is scarier than big festivals," she said Saturday.) Other performers, such as Owen Sound-based artists Steven White and Alan Glicksman, are local Monahan/Kikauka buddies.
Yet the international nature of the lineup, with $15,000 going to artists' fees and travel, would make other festival organizers envious.
For instance, Buffalo-based teacher/video artist Tony Conrad, a long-time Funny Farm visitor, appeared Friday. Saturday heard Dorit Chrysler, the Theremin star based in Germany (Monahan/Kikauka have a studio in Berlin).
Yesterday there was California-based painter John Kilduff, whose Los Angeles public access TV show features simultaneous painting and cooking lessons with an exercise course thrown in for good measure.
"Other cooking shows are so boring," Kilduff explained.
So for all the goofing off, beer drinking and loosey-goosey behaviour to be found offstage, the artists found they needed to keep to a fairly strict schedule.
"It says here we're going on at 8:45," said one member of the Nihilist Spasm Band, the veteran art band formed in London, Ont., in 1965, grandfather figures to a host of other artists on the site.
"That can't be," replied another vintage Spasm. "I'm usually in bed by 8:30."
Yet on occasion, through all the heat and chatter, one heard something sufficiently extraordinary and wonderful to promise that Electric Eclectics will be heard next year – such as the gong-like notes sounded Saturday by Toronto guitarist Nilan Perera, ringing across the sort of farm fields shown in old paintings, like a peal of bells at the end of the day.

Love Is Blind: A novel
By William Boyd
Curiosities, New Releases
Tuesday New Release Day: Murakami; Bhuvaneswar; Stone; Boyd; French
Thomas Beckwith
Out this week: Killing Commendatore by Haruki Murakami; White Dancing Elephants by Chaya Bhuvaneswar; Hungry Ghost Theater by Sarah Stone; Love is Blind by William Boyd; and The Witch Elm by Tana French. For more on these and other new titles, go read our most recent book preview.
October Preview: The Millions Most Anticipated (This Month)
We wouldn't dream of abandoning our vast semi–annual Most Anticipated Book Previews, but we thought a monthly reminder would be helpful (and give us a chance to note titles we missed the first time around). Here's what we're looking out for this month. Find more October titles at our Great Second-Half Preview, and let us know what you're looking forward to in the comments!
Killing Commendatore by Haruki Murakami (translated by Philip Gabriel and Ted Goossen): Like many before me, I once fell into Murakami's fictional world only to emerge six months later wondering what on earth happened. So any anticipation for his new books is tempered by caution. His new novel is about a freshly divorced painter who moves to the mountains, where he finds an eerie and powerful painting called "Killing Commendatore." Mysteries proliferate, and you will keep reading—not because you are expecting resolution but because it's Murakami, and you're under his spell. (Hannah)
All You Can Ever Know by Nicole Chung: This book—the first by the former editor of the much-missed site The Toast—is garnering high praise from lots of great people, among them Alexander Chee, who wrote, "I've been waiting for this writer, and this book—and everything else she'll write." Born prematurely to Korean parents who had immigrated to America, the author was adopted by a white couple who raised her in rural Oregon, where she encountered bigotry her family couldn't see. Chung grew curious about her past, which led her to seek out the truth of her origins and identity. (Thom)
Heavy by Kiese Laymon: Finally! This memoir has been mentioned as "forthcoming" at the end of every Kiese Laymon interview or magazine article for a few years, and I've been excited about it the entire time. Laymon has written one novel and one essay collection about America and race. This memoir focuses on Laymon's own body—in the personal sense of how he treats it and lives in it, and in the larger sense of the heavy burden of a black body in America. (Janet)
Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger by Rebecca Traister: What it says in the title, by one of the foremost contemporary chroniclers of the role(s) of women in American society. It feels as though the timing of this release could not be better (that is to say, worse). Read an interview with Traister here. (Lydia)
Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver: The beloved novelist's latest tells the story of Willa Knox, whose middle-class life has crumbled: The magazine she built her career around has folded, and the college where her husband had tenure has shut down. All she has is a very old house in need of serious repair. Out of desperation, she begins looking into her house's history, hoping that she might be able to get some funding from the historical society. Through her research, she finds a kindred spirit in Thatcher Greenwood, who occupied the premises in 1871 and was an advocate of the work of Charles Darwin. Though they are separated by more than a century, Knox and Greenwood both know what it's like to live through cultural upheaval. (Hannah)
Friday Black by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah: In his debut short story collection, that garnered him the National Book Foundation's "5 under 35" honor, Adjei-Brenyah writes about the injustice black people face every day in America. Tackling issues like criminal justice, consumerism, and racism, these timely stories are searching for humanity in a brutal world. The collection is both heartbreaking and hopeful, and George Saunders called it "an excitement and a wonder: strange, crazed, urgent and funny." (Carolyn)
Things to Make and Break by May-Lan Tan: This debut collection of short fiction is the most recent collaboration between Coffee House Press and Emily Books. The 11 short stories argue that relationships between two people often contain a third presence, whether that means another person or a past or future self. Tan's sensibility has been compared to that of Joy Williams, David Lynch, and Carmen Maria Machado. (Hannah)
Gone So Long by Andre Dubus III: Whether in his fiction (House of Sand and Fog) or his nonfiction (Townie), Dubus tells blistering stories about broken lives. In his new novel, Daniel Ahern "hasn't seen his daughter in forty years, and there is so much to tell her, but why would she listen?" Susan, his daughter, has good reason to hate Daniel—his horrific act of violence ruined their family and poisoned her life. Dubus has the preternatural power to make every storyline feel mythic, and Gone So Long rides an inevitable charge of guilt, fear, and stubborn hope. "Even after we're gone, what we've left behind lives on in some way," Dubus writes—including who we've left behind. (Nick R.)
Little by Edward Carey: Set in a Revolutionary Paris, a tiny, strange-looking girl named Marie is born—and then orphaned. Carey blurs the lines between fact and fiction, and art and reality, in his fictionalized tale of the little girl who grew up to become Madame Tussaud. In a starred review, Publishers Weekly writes the novel's "sumptuous turns of phrase, fashions a fantastical world that churns with vitality." (Carolyn)
White Dancing Elephants by Chaya Bhuvaneswar: Drawing comparisons to Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Margaret Atwood, and Sandra Cisneros, Bhuvaneswar's debut collection pulls together stories of diverse women of color as they face violence, whether it be sexual, racial, or self-inflicted. The Buddha also makes an appearance, as do Hindu myths, incurable diseases, and an android. No wonder Jeff VanderMeer calls White Dancing Elephants "often provocative" as well as bold, honest, and fresh. (Kaulie)
Impossible Owls by Brian Phillips: You know meritocratic capitalism is a lie because everyone who wrote during Holly Anderson's tenure as editor of MTV News is not presently wealthy beyond imagination, but that's beside the point. Better yet, let's pour one out for Grantland. Better still, let's focus on one truth. Brian Phillips's essays are out of this world: big-hearted, exhaustive, unrelentingly curious, and goddamned fun. It's about time he graced us with this collection. (Nick M.)
Scribe by Alyson Hagy: In a world devastated by a civil war and fevers, an unnamed protagonist uses her gift of writing to protect herself and her family's old Appalachian farmhouse. When Hendricks, a mysterious man with a dark past, asks for a letter, the pair set off an unforeseen chain of events. Steeped in folklore and the supernatural, Kirkus's starred review called it "a deft novel about the consequences and resilience of storytelling." (Carolyn)
The Witch Elm by Tana French: For six novels now, French has taken readers inside the squabbling, backstabbing world of the (fictional) Dublin Murder Squad, with each successive book following a different detective working frantically to close a case. Now, in a twist, French has—temporarily, we hope—set aside the Murder Squad for a stand-alone book that follows the victim of a crime, a tall, handsome, faintly clueless public relations man named Toby who is nearly beaten to death when he surprises two burglars in his home. Early reviews online attest that French's trademark immersive prose and incisive understanding of human psychology remain intact, but readers do seem to miss the Murder Squad. (Michael)
Hungry Ghost Theater by Sarah Stone: Siblings Robert and Julia Zamarin want to reveal the dangers of the world with their small political theater company while their neuroscientist sister Eva attempts to find the biological roots of empathy. While contending with fraught family dynamics, the novel touches on themes like art, free will, addiction, desire, and loss. Joan Silber writes she "found this an unforgettable book, astute, vivid, and stubbornly ambitious in its scope." (Carolyn)
Love is Blind by William Boyd: In Boyd's 15th novel, Brodie Moncur—a piano tuner with perfect pitch—flees his oppressive family in Scotland and travels across Europe. In the shadow of a (seemingly) doomed affair, the novel ruminates on the devastating power of passion, secrets, and deception. (Carolyn)
Famous Adopted People by Alice Stephens: Stephens' debut novel follows Lisa, a 27-year-old adoptee, as she travels to South Korea to find her birth mother. Equally tense, tragic, and comedic, Publishers Weekly describes the novel as a "fun-house depiction of the absurdities and horrors of the surveillance state." (Carolyn)
Girls Write Now by Girls Write Now: Containing more than one hundred essays from young women in the Girls Write Now program, a writing and mentorship program in New York City. The anthology contains stories rife with angst, uncertainty, grief, hope, honesty, and joy, and advice on writing and life from powerhouses like Roxane Gay, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and Zadie Smith. Kirkus calls the anthology "an inspiring example of honest writing." (Carolyn)
A Dream Called Home by Reyna Grande: A former undocumented Mexican immigrant, Grande's memoir explores to her journey from poverty to successful author—and the first of her family to graduate from college. Candid and heartfelt in exploring the difficulties of immigration and assimilation, Publishers Weekly's starred review called the book an "uplifting story of fortitude and resilience." (Carolyn)
Well-Read Black Girl ed. Glory Edim: Glory Edim founded Well-Read Black Girl, a Brooklyn-based book club and an online space that highlights black literature and sisterhood, and last year she produced the inaugural Well-Read Black Girl Festival. Most recently, Edim curated the Well-Read Black Girl anthology, and contributors include Morgan Jerkins, Tayari Jones, Lynn Nottage, Gabourey Sidibe, Rebecca Walker, Jesmyn Ward, Jacqueline Woodson, and Barbara Smith. The collection of essays celebrates the power of representation, visibility, and storytelling. (Zoë)
What If This Were Enough? by Heather Havrilesky: Havrilesky's, the acclaimed memoirist and columnist for The Cut's "Ask Polly" advice column, newest collection addresses our culture's obsession with self-improvement. Publishers Weekly's starred review writes "it's a message she relates with insight, wit, and terrific prose." Tackling subjects like materialism, romance, and social media, she asks readers—who are constantly inundated with messages about productivity and betterment—to ask less of themselves, to realize that they (and their lives) are enough. (Carolyn)


A review of the draft service model recently published for commissioners.
On 28 July NHS England, ADASS and the LGA published "Supporting People with a learning disability and/or autism who have a mental health condition or display behaviour that challenges".
This is a draft service model for commissioners. A final version will be published in the autumn.
Capacity assessments can often be easier said than done. We have a lot of experience in assisting both commissioner and provider clients taking them through the key sections of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and obtaining independent opinions where necessary.
Personal health budgets (referred to in the 2nd principle and covered in detail at pages 21 - 24) are an area where we have advised many commissioning clients, particularly in the context of NHS Continuing Healthcare. The model tells commissioners that while many patients have a right by law to PHBs they should be rapidly and ambitiously extending this offer beyond rights guaranteed in law. Commissioners are encouraged to take a positive approach to risk. However, PHBs can be complex and present varying challenges in terms of implementation. Do let us know if you have any PHB queries that you need our input on.
There are several references throughout the document to market shaping eg, the need to ensure there is a range of options for PHB holders to choose from and provision of short breaks for parents.
Information governance issues feature in the draft service model too. CCGs are told to create an "at risk of admission" register for which a data controller must be designated and ensure that the data is stored securely and managed in line with law and best practice.
In terms of compliance with the Equality Act 2010 the model reminds us that mainstream NHS services are required by law to make reasonable adjustments to ensure they are accessible to people with LD and/or autism.
The last section of the document reminds us that there is no disorder or diagnosis which, in itself, requires treatment in a hospital and that with the right support at the right time in the community use of inpatient services should be very rare.

No matter how great you are at your job or how great your managers are, there will always come a time in your career where you need to know your rights.
It might always seem like your employer holds the power in your working relationship, but the truth is, you as an employee are protected by laws and are entitled to proper treatment. So before your next shift or job interview, it's a good idea to brush up on your rights so you can advocate for your own fair treatment!
We've put together a quick crash course on employee rights. Remember that certain laws and regulations vary depending on your state or province, but the following list applies all across the country!
Workplace safety is incredibly important! Employers are required to take every measure necessary to ensure that their employees are working in an environment where they will be safe from potential accidents and injury.
Not all lines of work are hazard-free – in fact, many jobs require workers to handle heavy machinery or work with chemical solutions. Employers are required to provide thorough and proper training to their employees so they know how to safely handle these aspects of their work to minimize the risk of injury.
Not surprisingly, discrimination and harassment should not be tolerated in any work environment. This includes anything from inappropriate jokes to racism and physical/sexual harassment.
Have you ever had to take advantage of any of these employee rights? Explore amazing job opportunities on HigherMe's Job Board today.

We all know someone who already has their Christmas shopping done and their Christmas card address labels printed in order to mail their cards the day after Christmas. But most of us are bracing as we start the holiday juggle. Exactly how much can we successfully accomplish before the holidays run their course, yet another year?
Take heart! The holidays don't own you. They are not your master. They are here to be celebrated, not to overwhelm and exhaust you! You can reevaluate your preparations and expectations and make more out of less. Here are 5 ways that you can trim your holidays to make this season the best ever for your family, with energy remaining to enjoy every moment!
1. Choose, then continue your most favorite traditions. Interview each member of your immediate family. Ask each person which family traditions are their favorites. It seemed brutal at the time, but I explained last year that I was so exhausted by the time it was Christmas Eve the previous years, that I had to push through Christmas and didn't enjoy it much. I explained that we simply did too much.
Each kid thoughtfully responded with sweet and heartfelt explanations of why certain traditions were meaningful to them. Several things that we "always do" went by the wayside. Others were celebrated with a renewed appreciation. Here it is, a year later, and life has gone on without having done the ones we skipped! Sometimes we lose perspective and make an idol out of a tradition that has lost its meaning. We are fine-tuning those traditions that matter the most to us and are savoring the ones that we have kept.
Yes, we can spoil our children!
2. Pare down your gift list. Ok. I admit it. I love to give gifts, and lots of them. It happens to be my way of showing love, and ironically, I happen to have some kids to whom gifts mean very little. Ouch for Mom. Over time, however, I'm understanding that there's a saturation level where gifts begin to lose their impact when there are too many or they are too valuable. Yes, we can spoil our children! "Not mine!" you may defend. Yes, probably even yours. Think about it; we live in a culture where $800 phones are expected by kids of every social class, even before their 8th birthday. The payment plans have lulled us into compliance as parents, even when we are going against our principals. We've been had, and I'm not talking just about cell phones!
It's possible for each of us to take a step back and reevaluate that gift list. Two nights ago, a fascinating and in-depth interview with my ten year old son revealed that his deepest heart's desire was to have an ant farm. I ran with it. He spent hours researching this hobby online, ruling out certain types and perusing reviews on products. I didn't ask him for a Christmas list. I asked him, and each family member, for one item that would mean a lot to them, explaining that a family with two kids in college was a family with a lean holiday budget.
Not one kid complained. Parents of younger kids should keep in mind that they're setting a precedent if they "over-give" in the early years. While younger kids may hand you a long list (sometimes verbally, as they watch ads on TV and media), as they mature they should grow to understand and accept that Christmas isn't about things. As you begin to pare down the "stuff," your family will appreciate that Christmas will be made special in other ways this year.
When you change your focus to blessing other people, you'll see that other activities and things seem less important, and it's easier to let go of them.
3. Seek to bless others who have much less than you have. This can be the year that Christmas truly becomes about giving, not receiving, for your family. For example, have you made an impact in your neighborhood, or do you only know the neighbors closest to you? Are there elderly people that you may know who are alone for the holidays? Buy 4 or 5 bags of different types of fruit and fill several gift bags or baskets with a variety. Deliver them with a card and Christmas greeting. You will be delighted at their reactions. It's not a big or costly project, but it'll be meaningful.
When you change your focus to blessing other people, you'll see that other activities and things seem less important, and it's easier to let go of them. You won't need to spend 3 or 4 full evenings or afternoons (or more) shopping for things. Instead, you can show God's love in thoughtful and joy-giving ways. As we bustle, we may forget that many people are lonely and hurting. If we stop and look around, God can use us to bless others in powerful and healing ways.
Don't take on more, and if you do, be very intentional about selecting only the most meaningful activities.
4. Beware of advertising and social media during the holiday season. Simply put, firmly attach blinders to each side of your head and don't look to the left or the right. There are marketers who are paid the big bucks to convince you and your kids that your family's holiday will not be complete, or even a bit merry, if you don't buy their products. Beware, too, of social media where people brag on their extravagant family traditions, tempting you to attempt each one at home. Don't take on more, and if you do, be very intentional about selecting only the most meaningful activities.
Consider keeping things simple. It's not necessary to dye everything edible red or green, and it's not a good use of precious time to labor hours over pinterest-worthy projects if they'll be enjoyed for less than 5 minutes. If that's your thing, and you have the time and budget, go for it. Or make an activity a time to spend with your kids, family or friends, not just for them. Put emphasis on the process, not just the product. Otherwise, resist the temptation to spend a week's salary at the craft store just because your Facebook friends are. Remember the meaning of Christmas and stay grounded in it.
You have the freedom to say "no" to fun things and good things, just because there are too many of them!
5. Guard your time. Every holiday season there are a hundred exciting places to go and interesting things to see. Model railroad displays, gingerbread house contests, Christmas concerts and cookie exchanges all abound. You can't do them all. Make sure to keep a few days unplanned so that you can do things at home. Some activities are mandatory: the play your child has been practicing in for months, food shopping, visiting relatives. Others are not, and you have the freedom to say "no" to fun things and good things, just because there are too many of them! Don't run yourself ragged just to do something because you always have done it. Guard your time. Nobody else will do that for you.
It's very easy to be "guilted" through the holidays, doing things because they're expected of us or fearing that other people will be offended. Depression and anxiety is rampant through this season. Many people need to slow down. Other people are jumping through hoops that God has never asked them to jump through. God wants us to worship and glorify Him and to celebrate Jesus' birth by spreading His love. So much is meaningless tradition, and only you know what is meaningful to you. Pray that God will show you anything that needs to go, and ask Him what's important to Him. Remember that Jesus is Emmanuel, God with Us. He is the Prince of Peace. My prayer for you this year is a holiday season of true peace. God bless you with the most joyful holiday season yet!

42nd Street Pete's 8mm Madness 6: Busty Stag Collection (DVD)
Secret Key Motion Pictures and After Hours Cinema present an ultra-sexy, super-raunchy collection of authentic 8mm Home Movie Stag Reels! This one-of-a-kind set showcases over three hours of classic and historic nudie loops never before seen on DVD and features voluptuous vixens of the era including Uschi Digard, Lillian Parker and Virginia Bell!
Following its 1932 introduction by the Eastman Kodak company, the 8mm home movie film format became the cheaper alternative to shooting 16mm. By the 1950s, 8mm was the preferred format, whether to record junior's 3rd birthday party, a family's vacation travelogue, or a big-breasted burlesque dancer's erotic strip-tease. Guess which one evolved into marketable commodity? Suddenly these 8mm nudie films, known as 'loops' or 'stags' and designed to be shown in the privacy of one's home, were available over-the-counter in camera stores and adult bookstores. Unceremoniously packaged in white boxes, they sported photos of the actual female performers and the girls' names thoughtfully stenciled on the sides.
Mail order companies and gentlemen's magazines got into the 8mm biz too, with advertisements interspersed among the back-page gadget ads. The magazines featured topless and scantily clad women in semi-erotic poses, so the stag loops were a natural compliment. Typical mail order loops were 50-foot reels that ran for a few minutes. And the women? They were delectable, knockout beauties with big boobs…typical late 50s, early 60s girls wearing tight toreador pants, big hair, and risqué lingerie.
Over 3 hours of classic "Big Bust" stags on DVD! You must be 18 or over to order this DVD.

IPL 2015: Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Sunrisers Hyderabad -- Key Clashes
After incurring two back-to-back defeats Sunrisers Hyderabad is desperate to turn things around in their way.
By : Rajarshi Majumdar
Ab de Villiers played an important knock in his last match before he got out to KC CariappaShaun Roy / IPL / SPORTZPICS
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their first home game on Monday, 13 April.
Having won their first match against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), RCB have made a perfect start to the tournament. On the other hand, SRH are yet to find a victory as they lost their opening match against the formidable Chennai Super Kings, courtesy a blitzkreig from Brendon McCullum.
RCB seemed to have restored balance into their side, which they have been looking for in the past few seasons. SRH have players with potential but they will have to play some good cricket in order to register a win against RCB. Here are some key battles one can expect in this match:
Virat Kohli vs Trent Boult: Kohli did not have much of an impact in his first game against the KKR but will look to score some runs against SRH. It will not be easy as he will have to face this fast left-arm bowler from New Zealand, Trent Boult who troubled almost all the batsmen throughout the recently concluded ICC World Cup. Although, he too did not have a great match with the ball against CSK as he too was taken for plenty as McCullum was in a devastating mood but he would look to bounce back in this match against RCB.
David Warner vs Varun Aaron: Warner's knock of 53 runs went in vain as no other batsman supported him in that chase against CSK. He looks in good touch and this time he would want to be on the winning side. Aaron on the other hand, bowled with good pace and bounce. If he maintains line and length in and around that corridor of uncertainty outside the off stump, he can cause some serious trouble to Warner who has his weak zone in that area.
Shikhar Dhawan vs Harshal Patel: Dhawan sarted off well in that chase against CSK but got out to loosner from Mohit Sharma. He was in flying form during the World Cup and he would like to bring that momentum into this all important match against RCB. Harshal Patel was varying his pace against the KKR batsmen but unfortunately he was taken for a lot of runs. But he picked up the precious wicket of Surya Kumar Yadav when he deceived him with his slower delivery. Patel is going to be difficult customer to deal with and therefore Dhawan has to be watchful while playing him.
RCB will have the upper edge as they will be backed by their home crowd and they would look to continue winning momentum at home. On the other hand, SRH will look for their first victory of their IPL campaign. It should be an interesting encounter.
