A striking exposé of the insidious business practices that have generated enormous profits for the companies operating within the UK's gambling industry.
The history of British gambling is a history that stretches back nearly one thousand years, reaching into some of the nation's most fabled periods. It's now an industry worth billions of pounds.
Investigative journalist and Guardian correspondent Rob Davies surveys the development of the gambling industry to explain how the Britain became one of the largest gambling markets in the world. From the turn to deregulation under the Blair administration and the resultant explosion of gambling advertising to predatory targeting and industry lobbying in the halls of power, Davies uncovers the sinister inner workings of one of the country's most nefarious industries.
Exploring the fate of gambling in the UK and the uncertain future of the thousands of victims who have been all but abandoned along the way, Jackpot is a stark and vital investigation that forces us to confront deeply disturbing truths about modern British society.
The UK's addiction to gambling is a complex tale, but Rob Davies tells it with such clarity and through the personal experiences of those affected most. A shocking and important book.
Powerful and factually precise, this book will be with us forever to remind us of all of why a public health approach is needed when gambling is concerned.

Recommended Approaches for Treating Youth Athletes Who Experience Concussions
In 2004, Jake Snakenberg was a freshman football player at Grandview High School in Aurora, Colorado. Jake sustained a concussion during a game, but didn't fully understand the injury and did not report any symptoms. One week later, he took a typical hit, collapsed on the field, and never regained consciousness. Jake is believed to have died due to a second injury on an already injured brain.
What You Need to Know About Returning Youth Athletes to Play
The old days of simply writing a note stating "Bobby has a concussion—take two weeks off and then return to football" are gone. The process of returning an athlete to play requires careful documentation of both symptomatic and neuropsychological recovery; therefore, it is unadvisable to write a note that allows the athlete to resume activity at an arbitrary date in the future because it is impossible to predict how a concussion will evolve and when that concussion will resolve. The decision to return to play must be based solely on the individual.
Current best practices recommend a "multi-disciplinary team approach," meaning everyone who interacts with the student athlete should help manage the concussion and report their observations about the athlete's recovery. Having multiple eyes on the concussed athlete can help assure that he or she has returned to full functionality.
The "concussion team" may include the athlete, parents or guardians, teachers, school nurses, coaches, trainers, and medical providers.
Resources for Managing Concussions
There are many tools available for concussion teams, including:
Dr. Karen McAvoy, the author of REAP (Reduce, Educate, Accommodate, Pace), provides a nice summary of the multidisciplinary team approach. The REAP booklet guides the concussed athlete and their team through the recovery process. Download a copy at http://www.concussiontreatment.com/images/REAP_Program.pdf .
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends using the Acute Concussion Evaluation (ACE) tool. The ACE and other useful information on managing concussions in sports can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/headsup/providers/index.html
The Sports Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT 2) is another concussion tracking tool. There are many websites that post this tool—you can find it through a Web search of "SCAT 2."
Returning the Youth Athlete Back to School
Although the student athlete should not resume sports or activities that could cause re-injury to the vulnerable brain until fully recovered, the approach to returning to school is quite different. Every attempt should be made to transition the student back to school once the most severe symptoms have improved (usually within one to three days). The student, parents, and physician may need to work with the school for specific accommodations so that symptoms can continue to improve while keeping the student engaged in learning. Guidelines for return to school can be found on the CDC website at http://www.cdc.gov/headsup/basics/return_to_school.html.
Returning the Youth Athlete to Sports Participation
Returning an athlete to participate in a sport can only begin once he or she has fully recovered from the concussion. The athlete must be symptom free and be returned to baseline regarding school performance (which means being able to tolerate a full school day with an age appropriate workload).
Neurocognitive testing may also be helpful to assess recovery, although neurocognitive recovery may lag behind symptom resolution, theoretically indicating an athlete whose brain is still at risk.
Once the medical provider has determined that the athlete has fully recovered, it is time to begin the "Graduated Return-to-Play Protocol" as recommended by the Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport published in 2008 (also available on multiple websites by searching "Graduated Return-to-Play Protocol"). Once the athlete successfully completes this graduated return-to-play process—which typically requires a minimum of six days—he or she can then receive final clearance to return to full participation.
Adolescents with concussions may have subtle neurometabolic derangements which may dramatically increase the risk of long-term and potentially severe or life threatening complications if re-injured before recovery. Because of this, the process of clearing a youth athlete to return to his or her sport after a concussion requires a systematic and thoughtful approach with thorough documentation of resolution of the symptomatic and neuropsychological consequences of the concussion. Even with this approach, we do not yet have clear evidence that the potential for poor outcome has been eliminated. Every parent and youth athlete must individually weigh the risks and benefits of competitive sports after concussion.

Are Komatireddys Ditching Congress?
Komatireddys
Is Komatireddy family ditching the Congress? It appears so. On Friday morning, Nakrekal MLA Chirumarthy Lingaiah met KCR. From all accounts it is becoming increasingly clear that Lingaiah could join the TRS very soon. If this happens, it only means that Komatireddy brothers - Venkata Reddy and Rajagopal Reddy, are all set to join the TRS. This also implies that the TRS could field Komatireddy Venakta Reddy as the TRS candidate for the Nalgonda MP seat.
Komatireddy brothers feel that there is very little future for them in the Congress. In fact, there is very little future for themselves in the Congress Party. They expected that post-the drubbing in the Assembly elections, the high command would make one of them the PCC chief. But, the Congress is continuing with Uttam Kumar Reddy. Many political watchers say that Chirumarthi Lingaiah is the alter ego of Komatireddy brothers and owes his everything to the Komatireddy family. "He could not have met KCR without a nod from Komatireddy brothers. This only means that even Komatireddy brothers could soon join the TRS," said a political watchers.
The immediate impact of Chirumarthi's defection would be on the upcoming MLC elections. The Congress will now lose all hopes of winning the MLC seat as already three of its MLAs are in touch with the TRS. By the time the Lok Sabha elections near, Komatireddy brothers too would join the TRS and Venkat Reddy could be made the TRS candidate for Nalgonda MP seat. This will leave only Uttam Kumar Reddy in the Congress and he would be forced to fight a lone battle. Amid news that even Sabitha Indrareddy could join the TRS, is the Congress getting completely emptied?

Greenwich Girls Second, Boys Seventh at LL Track Finals
by Paul Silverfarb | Greenwich Elementary Schools, Greenwich High School, Greenwich Middle Schools, News, Sports Leave a reply
The Greenwich High School boys and girls track and field teams competed with the best the CIAC class LL had to offer during Wednesday's championship. (Paul Silverfarb photo)
It's a very safe assumption that the Greenwich High School boys and girls track and field teams had a blast during the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference class LL championships Wednesday afternoon.
Highlighting the trip to Willowbrook Park in New Britain was several top honors individually for both the boys' and girls' squads.
And, for the first time since the 2012 indoor season, the GHS girls track team picked up some hardware at the state level, grabbing second place overall.
As a team, the Lady Cardinals placed second overall with 77 points and outdueled the same Danbury High School team that crushed them at FCIACs last week. The Hatters finished the class LL meet with 76 points and took third.
Overall it was Ridgefield that came away with the class LL crown, grabbing 84 points. Manchester finished fourth with 57 points and Glastonbury rounded out the top five with 55 points.
"I was not expecting second place as a team going into today," GHS girls head coach Evan Dubin said. "I knew our team would be good, but with how handily Danbury beat us last week at FCIAC I never thought we could beat them today. That's a real testament to all the hard work and effort the girls put in today. I am proud of them."
On the boys side, Big Red took seventh place overall with 41 points. GHS was one point away from Hamden, as the Dragons took sixth with 42 points. Overall it was Danbury High that took the class LL championship, netting 110.70 points. Brien McMahon High School took home the silver with 72 points and Ridgefield rounded out the top three with 57 points.
"We had a lot of good competitors," GHS boys head coach Brian Robbins said. "They put their hearts out there and had a lot of energy in the races that they competed in. We had some great jumps, sprints and throws today and I am very proud of my team."
For the Greenwich girls' team, no one had a better day than Emily Philippides. The GHS sophomore claimed gold in the 800-meter run and was almost a full second ahead of her second place opponent, crossing the finish line with a time of 2:14.56.
Phillippides wasn't finished. In addition to her gold individually, she helped the 4×800-meter relay team take home top honors and was on the second place 4×400-meter relay squad.
"It feels great," Phillippides said. "I liked my performances and liked my times. My goal in the 4×800 was to catch up to the other girls and I really wanted to win in the 800-meters. In the 4×400 my goal was to pass Ridgefield because we were really close in team points and knowing that if we passed them we would get second place as a team."
Phillippides, along with junior Kristen Lodato, freshman Jordan Numme and sophomore Hetty McMillan were on the 4×800-meter relay team that struck gold, posting a time of 9:17.19. Glastonbury was second with a time of 9:18.45.
Another sophomore, Lia Zavattaro, also came up tops in her event. Competing in the pole vault, Zavattaro reached a height of 10-06 and that was good enough for first place and 10 team points.
In addition to her performance in the 4×800-meter relay, Numme took home the silver in the 400-meter dash, posting a time of 58.53 seconds and was mere inches away from the top spot. Joining Numme in the 400-meter dash was senior Caroline Frey, who finished sixth overall with a time of 59.58.
Numme and Phillippides, along with teammates, McMillan and Frey ended the day second in the 4×400-meter relay, crossing the finish line with a time of 3:58.24
"We have had good teams in the past, but this team has proven themselves to be our best overall," Dubin said. "We could go event by event finding people on our team that were scoring points. Yeah, we have our few that will give us 10 points, but we are getting points in throws, jumps and winning pole vault. In year's past, that wouldn't have happened."
Fellow senior Abbie Wolf took home a pair of fourth place finishes and picked up some key points for Big Red. In the shot put, her distance of 33-07 ¾ was only a few inches away from a bronze.
In the discus throw, Wolf took home a fourth-place distance of 104-08 and was one of only six athletes that threw over 100 feet.
"I am really proud of the team," Wolf said. "The whole team has a lot of young kids and a bright future. I surprised myself in shot by getting a 33-07 feet, which is six feet further than I threw at FCIAC. Discus is my main event and everybody didn't have a great day there, so I was happy to be out there working hard."
Also competing in the field events was Katherine Doyle, as the GHS senior grabbed the seventh spot in the triple jump with a distance of 33-08 ¾. Sophomore Olivia DiLascia battled in the high jump and took home seventh overall with a height of 5-00.
Other GHS girls tracksters fared well and netted all important points for the team.
In the 200-meter dash, sophomore Katherine Gallagher took home seventh overall with a time of 26.45, while McMillan grabbed eighth in the 1,600-meter run with a time of 5:17.59.
Competing in the 100-meter hurdles, Big Red's Emily Wu was seventh overall, posting a time of 16.68.
Rounding out the relays was another top five finish. In the 4×100-meter relay, the foursome of senior Jenna Restieri, Gallagher, senior Treloara Harrisson and Anna Giannuzzi ended the day fourth overall with a time of 49.42 and just edged out New Britain, who crossed the finish line with a time of 49.45.
"All season we have been trying to break 50 in the 4×100, so with this perfect running weather today, it was great to use that to our advantage and get that time out there," Giannuzzi said. "Knowing that this is my last state meet and that I will never be able to run in these races again helped get me excited. I was going to leave it all out there on the track."
For the boys' team, junior Safir Scott paced the team. Competing in the high jump, Scott was able to pick up a height of 6-04 and got two inches higher than Danbury's Judah James for the gold medal.
"I felt good out there," Scott said. "I won the high jump and in the triple jump I qualified for Nationals, so I was happy with that. This is one of the best teams that I have been around and one of the better Greenwich teams ever. There's a lot of potential on this team."
Scott also took home a top five distance in the triple jump, as the junior's distance of 44-06 landed him in third place overall.
While Scott fared will at the high jump and triple jump, another GHS athlete took high honors in the field events. Senior Joseph Lanni battled in the javelin throw and his distance of 174-01 easily beat out Cheshire's Ethan LaChance for second place. LaChance posted a distance of 162-06.
Also competing in the field events was junior Issac Floyd, who took home fourth place on the day and a distance of 21-03 ¾.
In the shortest track event of the day, the 100-meter dash, junior Tyler Farris also found a way to get a silver medal, as his time of 11.14 was mere inches away from the top spot. Danbury's Devonte Clarke took home the top spot with a time of 11.10.
"To think that Tyler would be possibly first at this meet is amazing," Robbins said. "We didn't project that at the beginning of the season. To see him grow as an individual, as a competitor and as a leader was beautiful. It is great to see."
In the relays, the GHS foursome of senior Andrew Kates, sophomore Georgios Karkadas, senior Sebastian Oe and senior Kieran Caroll took part in the 4×800-meter relay and finished seventh overall with a time of 8:12.76.
"I was really proud of the guys for coming out here and competing to the best of their abilities," Robbins said. "That's all you can ask for. They are a track team and a good one. At the beginning of the season I didn't know what they were capable of. Now we are hitting our stride and there's still a lot of track to go, with Opens, New Englands and Nationals. It's going to be fun. The guys are excited."

Rosenzweig C, Ruane AC, Antle J, Elliott J, Ashfaq M, Chatta AA, Ewert F, Folberth C, et al. (2018). Coordinating AgMIP data and models across global and regional scales for 1.5°C and 2.0°C assessments. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences 376 (2119): e20160455. DOI:10.1098/rsta.2016.0455.
The Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) has developed novel methods for Coordinated Global and Regional Assessments (CGRA) of agriculture and food security in a changing world. The present study aims to perform a proof of concept of the CGRA to demonstrate advantages and challenges of the proposed framework. This effort responds to the request by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) for the implications of limiting global temperature increases to 1.5°C and 2.0°C above pre-industrial conditions. The protocols for the 1.5°C/2.0°C assessment establish explicit and testable linkages across disciplines and scales, connecting outputs and inputs from the Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs), Representative Agricultural Pathways (RAPs), Half a degree Additional warming, Prognosis and Projected Impacts (HAPPI) and Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) ensemble scenarios, global gridded crop models, global agricultural economics models, site-based crop models and within-country regional economics models. The CGRA consistently links disciplines, models and scales in order to track the complex chain of climate impacts and identify key vulnerabilities, feedbacks and uncertainties in managing future risk. CGRA proof-of-concept results show that, at the global scale, there are mixed areas of positive and negative simulated wheat and maize yield changes, with declines in some breadbasket regions, at both 1.5°C and 2.0°C. Declines are especially evident in simulations that do not take into account direct CO2 effects on crops. These projected global yield changes mostly resulted in increases in prices and areas of wheat and maize in two global economics models. Regional simulations for 1.5°C and 2.0°C using site-based crop models had mixed results depending on the region and the crop. In conjunction with price changes from the global economics models, productivity declines in the Punjab, Pakistan, resulted in an increase in vulnerable households and the poverty rate.

Defence minister Manohar Parrikar said recently that the appointment of a Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) 'is a must' and that integration of the ministry of defence with the headquarters of the three Services is necessary. He said he would forward his recommendations to the PM in two to three months. However, that is not all that is wrong with the national security decision-making process — it is fundamentally flawed. A few examples will illustrate shortcomings that may result in yet another military debacle.
In May 1998, India conducted five nuclear tests at Pokhran. It emerged later that these were not merely experimental 'devices' to be tested; these were the warheads from India's nuclear stockpile. It transpired that India's nuclear arsenal was held by civilian organisations — jointly by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) — and not by the country's armed forces. Also, the armed forces were not the only ones in for a surprise. George Fernandes, India's then defence minister, also had no prior knowledge of the impending nuclear tests.
In 1997, India signed the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) and declared at the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) that it had a chemical weapons stockpile. India's three Service chiefs learnt about this declaration from the newspapers. These dangerous weapons were held not by the armed forces, but by the DRDO.
Ten years before that, at the request of Sri Lankan President JR Jayewardene, Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi sent an Indian Peace-keeping Force (IPKF) to Sri Lanka. The force had to fight the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) — which it was inadequately prepared for in terms of its mandate, tasking, arms and equipment. K Natwar Singh, the former external affairs minister, disclosed during interviews relating to his book One Life is Not Enough that Rajiv Gandhi agreed to dispatch the IPKF during his discussions with Jayewardene at Colombo, without first consulting his own cabinet.
General VP Malik, former COAS, has written in his book India's Military Conflicts and Diplomacy: An Inside View of Decision Making: 'The request was accepted by Rajiv Gandhi without consultation with the military chiefs.' The Indian intervention resulted in the loss of the lives of 1,155 soldiers and failed to meet our political and military objectives. The ineffective handling of the intervention still rankles in the minds of political and military leaders.
The structures for higher defence management and the process of national security decision making in India need to be examined afresh, particularly the process of long-term defence planning, which is in the domain of the National Security Council (NSC). The NSC meets rarely, if at all. The efficacy of the established process of decision making during crises, managed by the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), including the impact of diplomacy on security strategy and the planning and conduct of military operations, also merits a review. The lack of adequate military inputs into decision making continues to remain the most significant lacuna.
After the 1999 conflict with Pakistan, the CCS had constituted the Kargil Review Committee. It was headed by the late K Subrahmanyam. The committee looked holistically at the threats and challenges and examined loopholes in national security management. The committee was of the view that the 'political, bureaucratic, military and intelligence establishments appear to have developed a vested interest in the status quo'. It made far-reaching recommendations on the development of India's nuclear deterrence, higher defence organisation, intelligence reform, border management, the defence budget, the use of air power, counter-insurgency operations, integrated manpower policy, defence research and development, and media relations.
The CCS appointed a Group of Ministers (GoM) to study the report of the Kargil Review Committee and recommend measures for implementation. The GoM, headed by then home minister LK Advani, in turn, set up four task forces on intelligence reforms, internal security, border management and defence management to undertake in-depth analysis. Most recommendations of the GoM were approved by the CCS and gradually implemented, but important ones like the appointment of a CDS have remained in limbo.
The UPA government appointed the Naresh Chandra committee to take forward the process of defence reforms, but could not implement any of the recommendations of the committee. The NDA government must appoint a CDS as early as possible to provide single-point advice to the CCS on military matters and to synergise operational plans as well as weapons and equipment acquisitions. The next logical step would be to constitute tri-Service integrated theatre commands to synergise the capabilities of individual Services. It is also necessary to sanction the raising of the aerospace, cyber and special forces commands to deal effectively with emerging challenges.
National security decision making is marked by kneejerk reactions to emerging situations. A sub-committee of the CCS must devote time and effort to make substantive recommendations to improve the structures for higher defence management, defence research and development, defence production and the poor state of civil-military relations.
Any further dithering on these key structural reforms on the grounds of the lack of political consensus and the inability of the armed forces to agree on the issue will be extremely detrimental to India's national security interests in view of dangerous developments taking place in India's neighbourhood. International experience shows that such reform has to be imposed top down and can never work if the government keeps waiting for it to come about bottom up.


Proverbs 23:24The father of a righteous man has great joy; he who has a wise son delights in him.
Heavenly Father, may our life please you and bring honor to our father and his name. We know that if we please you, it will make his heart glad. Help us as we seek to know you and serve you in ways that show your character in our life. Through Infant Jesus we pray. Amen.
33"Again you have heard that it was said to the men of old, `You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.' 34 But I say to you, Do not swear at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 Let what you say be simply `Yes' or `No'; anything more than this comes from evil.
Jesus teaches his followers the unconditional love of truth. He speaks against bearing false witness and all forms of dishonesty and swearing unnecessary oaths to God. A disciple's word should be capable of being trusted without spoken rituals to give it validity. Jesus' disciple must speak truthfully without "stretching" the truth by adding to it or by compromising the truth by speaking falsehood or by leaving out what is necessary to convey what is truthful. Thomas Aquinas said: People could not live with one another if there were not mutual confidence that they were being truthful to one another. As a matter of honor, one person owes it to another to manifest the truth. Are we true to God, to ourselves, and to others? And do we allow God's word of truth to penetrate our mind and heart and to form your conscience?

Taking note on the tragic condition of the primary schools in the state, the Allahabad high court on Tuesday directed the chief secretary to ensure that children of government officials are sent to these schools.
"Only then would they be serious enough to look into the requirements of these schools and ensure that they are run in good condition", the court observed.
Justice Sudhir Agarwal, following petitions filed by Umesh Kumar Singh and several others, gave directions to the chief secretary to take steps within six months so as to make the aforesaid directions effective from the next academic session of primary schools.
Earlier too, Samachar Plus showed the downfall of the education system in the government schools of the state in a sting operation 'Operation Guru' which displays the real face of teachers having zero knowledge of their nation.

Seagoe Archives
In March 2019 this website was launched by Seagoe Parish. It contains digital access to the earliest editions of the parish magazines from 1905 until 1935. This project was supported by Heritage Lottery Fund. In June 2020 all magazines up to February 1942 were made available.
From December 2020 Acts of Select Vestry together with Births Marriages and Deaths from 1672 are being digitised. Have a look at publications with dates from that time . If you want to get involved email philip@hi-systems.co.uk.
The earliest written record preserved today is of the acts of Vestries from 1672. Fortunately the parish retained the book rather than sending it to the Public Record Office in Dublin as instructed. See https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/ruin-of-public-... for more details of this.
In 1905 the first edition of the parish magazine was printed. During World War 1 they contained the unique contribution to the history of the First World War through the Rector's involvement and letters from France. Rev Canon James Archer was interested in every aspect of Parish life, should it be history, items of antiquarian interest, nature, the weather, the changing seasons, the doings of people, education, entertainment, geology, the world at large, contacts with emigrants, youth organisations, and all the rich web brought about by people living out their days, that all this activity was reflected by him in his monthly magazine.

REVIEW: Battle by Michelle West
JiaB Reviewsdemons / epic fantasy / Fantasy / gods7 Comments
Dear Michelle West:
I've made no secret of the fact that I have mixed feelings about the first three books of your House War series. I loved the fact they expanded on the pasts of Jewel and her den, but I also disliked that we retread familiar scenes from other books set in this universe. After the Sun Sword series, it seemed like we'd hit a roadbump. Those misgivings were assuaged with the previous novel, Skirmish, and in Battle, my doubts are gone. This is the reason I fell in love with the books set in the Essalieyan universe.
In Battle, Jewel has finally assumed the title of the Terafin. It's been a long time coming. This has been her aim ever since her debut in the Hunter duology and it's satisfying to see her accomplish her goal. But nothing runs smoothly in Jewel's life, however.
Ever since Jewel's first appearance in the books, she's had one singular and rare gift. She is a seer. It's the trait that earned her a place in House Terafin. The value of the gift was worth so much that when she insisted her den be accepted into the house as well, her request was granted.
Hints dropped in previous novels bear fruit in this one. We learn the seer gift is linked to more powerful, and devastating, abilities and in the far past, these abilities gave rise to great cities. In the present time, however, these abilities may be the only thing that stands between the Empire and the Lord of Hell.
This is a big book and a lot happens in it. I won't lie. These books are epic in scope and they are so interconnected that it is a definite investment of reading time. But I think they're worth it. The inevitable confrontation between mortals and the Lord of Hells looms closer, and I can practically see the apocalypse coming on the horizon.
Jewel has always been the Chosen One. That's her archetype and while that's never been one of my favorite character types, the one thing I like about her is that her Special status comes with a price. Not everyone loves her. In fact, I'd say more people dislike her at this point. In the past she's been the target of assassination attempts from humans and demons alike. The fight for the title of Terafin was not bloodless, and there were rivals for the head seat. Likewise, demons recognized the threat she posed and sought to get rid of her before she came fully into her power. Now that her abilities have awakened the land of the capital itself, the Emperors and high priests have turned their eyes towards her.
Themes of power — how it affects people and what people do with it — have always run through your novels. It's one of the more interesting aspects for me. And I liked that Battle acknowledges a simple fact: intentions do not matter. No one denies that Jewel means well. No one denies that she is on the side of good. She was instrumental is averting a demon invasion as a teenager, and people remember that.
This doesn't mean she can be trusted. Having good intentions is not enough when you can alter the structures of ancient buildings, make magical trees grow where they shouldn't, and access hidden pathways that should be forbidden to mortals. She can even walk through dreamscapes. But she does not understand how her abilities work. She cannot control them. This makes her dangerous to those who would call her ally, which raises the question of whether letting her live is worth the risk.
Battle also tackles Jewel's one great fatal flaw. She wants to protect the ones she loves. An admirable trait but not pragmatic for the head of the most powerful House and definitely not feasible when you're trying to stop the end of the world. People die. They die everyday. It's just a question of when. Jewel does not fear using the near-immortals and supernatural creatures that serve her, but it's the humans — her den — that are her weakness. And it's becoming increasingly apparent that's a hurdle she'll have to overcome if she's to succeed at what she has to do.
While Jewel is certainly the focal point of this novel, there are other fascinating revelations. We learn about the world of dreams and the cause behind the mysterious sleeping sickness introduced earlier in the series. We find out more about the Sleepers and discover (finally) Meralonne's true identity. I will certainly say that revelation alone was huge. I'm still reeling from it, honestly.
As I've said, Jewel is not my favorite characters from these books but Battle did something I never expected. It made me genuinely like her. I'm now anxious for the next installment and beyond that, the coming conflict with the Lord of Hells and the end of the world. B
My regards,
Previous books in this series: The Hidden City, City of Night, House Name (review), Skirmish (review)

I haven't read any of West's House War books, because I have found myself sort of irritated by how little character development has occurred over the course of the five (six?) Chronicles of Elantra novels. I'm willing to sign on for a long series if I feel that the story arc justifies it (like in Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels books), but I'm getting tired of how slowly the Elantra series is moving, and I can't really tell what it's building towards (or how soon). There's limited payoff in each book at this point with regard to character development or overall plot.
Is it known, at this point, how much longer the House War series will continue, or is it (like the Elantra books) of a sort of indefinite nature?
Estara
My impression with the way really old (Sun Sword series) developments were finally fulfilled in this book, was that readers of the first series really get a bonus enjoyment out of this book.
I doubt she'll finish the current arc of the plot (Jewel) in one book, I think she may need two more.
And then we have at least six more important strands to address until the fight with Allasakar can be over. I SO HOPE that the series sells well enough that DAW can continue giving her contracts for that.
For my money, West is the best epic fantasy author currently writing and ought to definitely be as widely known as Jordan, Martin et al.
@cbackson: There's a definite end of House War. Whether it'll take 1 or 2 books to get there is the question. The caveat of this series is that it's part of a bigger world that consists of multiple series that interlock. But to answer your question: there's a definite goal and final confrontation, and all of the books have been building towards it. This isn't like Elantra where it's not entirely clear what the series is building towards.
@Estara: I can't see how she'd be able to wrap up everything in one more book. It'd be nice if she could — that way it could end nicely with War after Battle in terms of sequencing but it might end up a case of a split book like what happened with The Riven Shield and The Sun Sword in the previous series.
Just finished Battle last night and passed it on to a girlfriend who, like me, has devoured the (multiple) series. We just spent thirty minutes on the phone in a conversation that would have been embarrassing if heard by others but the question she asked was "In this book, does Jewel or really any character engage in a romantic or sexual relationship (YET)?"
Because with all the detail, all the multiple levels of thought and characters and how dynamic I think the stories are, that is an area of human life mostly uninhabited by Jewel, her den, or most of the characters in West's novels. [The exception being Carver and Merry, which is pretty peripheral, and there was a hint, a bare hint, of sensuality with Avandar in the last book.]
There was the implication she was raped in Hidden City, but since then neither Jewel–nor her den nor any other main characters– have or show romantic or sexual leanings. There is no romantic love. No lust. FOR OR BY them. They covet no one and no one covets them.
For all that these are coming of age (Hidden City) or adult development or power play and intrigue amongst court members, this is starting to stand out in our eyes for it's strange absence. Traumatic background or not, love and romance and sex are part of growing up. And part of power plays. And part of being an adult person. The having it and not having it. And not just in romance novels. It needn't be "happily ever after."
[Edited to add: In fact, the way I found this review was googling Michelle West and romance to see if she'd ever spoken to this issue–about WHY this area of life is invisible in her novel]
STILL, can't wait for the next one. I could read entire novels about many of these characters.
Honestly, I loved the book on one level and was annoyed on another. I am glad that my suspicions held for the last 10+ years were verified and supported. On another level, I am like seriously Jewel, you are in your 30s, own this! I did really enjoy seeing the maturity and development of the members of the Den, especially Finch and Teller. I loved that the one under-used and noted member of the Den might have more play in the next book.
I actually have questions about the Jewel as chosen one idea. I kind of feel like the chosen one is this person who is supposed to kill Allasakar, but on some level there are a whole lots of critical people for different steps along the way until we get to the End of Days. But I also feel like we are going to get an announcement later this year that in fact there is one more book after War because there were a lot of plot and character threads that got dropped.
@ Kim
– I think the question about relationships has been discussed on the yahoo groups list, but it might not be a bad idea to post it on her spoiler thread discussion list. I think the only person they have talked about is really Carver in terms of Merry. But I also wonder, if for the others they are also thinking about how they could develop vulnerabilities for Jewel n the house. We clearly know that Rymark is not at all kind to females, especially those he perceives as less in power, so I could see that kind of disadvantage extend out in terms of creating blows to the reputation for Jewel.
@ cbackson
I think the thing that I have to keep reminding myself about the Elantra books is that we have only passed a few months. While it is years for the rest of us, its only months to weeks depending on which book.
@ Estara
i second your view on her as one of the best epic fantasy authors, sadly underrated. Perhaps better than some others because I think she has more nuanced characters and developments than others.
I'm sorry I am not familiar with either the spoiler threads or her yahoo threads…could you provide a link? This is the first time I have posted on one of these. (Smile )
And OF COURSE love and lust and crushes provide vulnerabilities….but that doesn't keep them from happening AND it doesn't keep people from having them ON YOU. No one in the den has had a crush or tumble with each other—living in close quarters as teens? During high adrenaline or scary need of comfort moments? Then had to deal with the consequences? It been all platonic/brotherly love?
No one except Carver has gone outside the den? No one has had a bumbling look up to her type crush on Jewel? Or no mentor has had that type of crush on her? It would just add to the complexities! In a good way (for the reader)!!
@Kim:
Oh, the spoiler thread is at her website. http://michellesagara.com/blog/
Honestly, these questions have run through my mind in the past. But I think at this point, after having read her for the better part of 2 decades I don't even expect the same romantic entanglements. There are superficial discussions and speculation,but she does not write about it. Sadly, in my experience the closest she came to open discussion was during her first series back in the early 1990s.

Shalulile Reveals Secret To Incredible From
Mamelodi Sundowns striker Peter Shalulile has opened up on his imperious goalscoring form since joining the club.
The reigning PSL Footballer of the Season looks well on course for his third Lesley Manyathela Golden Boot award with 13 goals in 18 appearances in the 2021/22 DStv Premiership season, four ahead of Victor Letsoalo (9).
With 29 goals in all competitions over the calendar year, the Namibia international admits it's all about his dedication to the craft and disciplined lifestyle off the pitch.
"It's just about the work you put in and the extra work on top of that. At the time when people are sleeping, you just have to put in the work," he told the club's official website.
"What keeps me going is simply the fact that I just want the club and my teammates to be happy and for the club to do well.
"I also get my motivation from players abroad that are also doing well, that helps me to push every day to stay at this level. It's not easy scoring but we work so hard to make sure we are able to score each and every day."
In an interview with iDiski Times in November, he admitted that he's motivated to improve on 16 league goals he scored in his debut season – something he's well on course to achieve.
"I scored 16 [league] goals, I just want to do better than that. I believe the twenty goal mark, with just the belief and the patience, I think it's going to be possible," he said at the time.
"My teammates at Sundowns, are very good players who can supply you on any given day. It's just for me to work more on my finishing, sometimes I can get two chances but only convert one, which is not good.
"I want to become a clinical striker, that's what I'm working on each and every day to make sure any chance I get bury it."
The 28-year-old has scored 52 goals in 111 South African top-flight games since his arrival with Highlands Park from Tura Magic.

Four races today, all stage races that end today: The eighth stage of the Presidential Tour of Turkey, the sixth stage of the Tour of Romandie, the third stage of the Tour de Yorkshire and finally, the second stage of the Vuelta a Asturias.
Late note...Oh, I forgot. There's also the single-day GP de la Somme.
Velocio-Sram Wins Two Stages at Gracia Orlova
Here's the report Velocio-Sram sent me:
Visalage, Czech Republic, 2 May 2015 - Karol-Ann Canuel has capped off an incredible day for Velocio-SRAM by taking the team's second stage win at Gracia Orlová today in Visalage. In the morning stage ITT World Champion Lisa Brennauer won Stage 3, a 13.5km ITT and the team filled the top five places. Canuel continued the run of wins by powering to a solo victory in Stage 4 this afternoon. Alena Amialisuik finished second on the stage and Eugenia Bujak rounded out the podium in third.
Karol-Ann Canuel
The afternoon was a short stage with just 63.5 kilometres from Detmarovice to Visalage, but finished with a 7 kilometre climb. There were some early attacks by the German Maxx Solar team but nothing was able to stay away. The peloton was all together when Canuel created a break with a well-timed attack. Five riders were in the initial break but Canuel felt that it wasn't going to stay away and decided to go solo. "I was feeling good and I saw an opportunity to go in the last 8 kilometres and I just went full gas. I really wanted to win and I'm happy it worked out," said Canuel. "The team had an amazing day and it's great to be part of such a good group."
Team Director Sportif Beth Duryea was very pleased with the efforts of the team today. "The team was dominant in the time trial and to fill the top five places was pretty incredible. In the afternoon stage our goal was of course to defend the yellow jersey. Karol-Ann overcome some bad luck earlier in the tour and she did a great ride today. The break she was in would never have been the winning move if she had not attacked again. It simply would have come back together. Her move was aggressive and it's a style of racing we like to see," said Duryea
Amialiusik holds on to the leaders jersey with one stage remaining in the Gracia Orlová Tour. She has an advantage of +21 seconds over team mate Trixi Worrack, while Eugenia Bujak is +35 seconds in third position. Tomorrow is the last stage of 100.2 kilometre with 6 circuits in the town of Orlová, starting at 10:00.
Giant-Alpecin Announces Giro d'Italia Team long List
I got this note from Giant-Alpecin:
Team Giant-Alpecin is pleased to announce its final nine-rider lineup for the first Grand Tour of the 2015 season, the Giro d'Italia, which starts in San Lorenzo on May 9. The team announced earlier in the month that sprinter Luka Mezgec (SLO) would definitely be lining up in San Lorenzo, and he will be joined by a strong team with lead-out capabilities and also riders who can take their chances in the breakaways if and when the opportunities arise.
Luka Mezgec wins the second stage of the 2015 Tour du Haut-Var.
The opportunists in the lineup include Simon Geschke (GER), who will head to the Giro following a strong comeback in Liège-Bastogne-Liège after recovering from a fractured collarbone, as well as Tobias Ludvigsson (SWE), who will also have the opportunity to develop his long time trial skills in stage 14 with the 59.4km individual time trial.
This will be the first appearance in the Giro d'Italia for Americans Chad Haga and Caleb Fairly. Haga rode his first Grand Tour, the Vuelta a España, last year and Fairly did the same at the 2013 Vuelta. The first Chinese rider ever to start in the Giro d'Italia, Cheng Ji (CHN), will be present again at the starting line in San Lorenzo.
"I am in very good form at the moment. Over the last four weeks I have trained very hard, and in the Tour de Romandie I will get the chance to gain racing rhythm," said Mezgec, the winner of the closing stage of last year's Giro. "We are heading to the Giro with a strong and balanced team that will aim at sprint success, and I am happy to have great team support for that."
Coach Addy Engels (NED) is looking forward to the Giro: "Our primary target will be the sprint stages with Mezgec, as we have a strong lead-out team including Nikias Arndt (GER), Bert De Backer (NED) and Tom Veelers (NED). "With Simon Geschke (GER), Caleb Fairly (USA) and Tobias Ludvigsson (SWE) we have riders who can aim for a good stage result from a breakaway as well. As I said earlier, we will determine our strategy from day to day."
COACHES: Addy Engels (NED), Adriaan Helmantel (NED), Marc Reef (NED)
LONG-LIST: Nikias Arndt (GER), Bert De Backer (BEL),Caleb Fairly (USA), Simon Geschke (GER), Chad Haga (USA), Cheng Ji (CHN), Tobias Ludvigsson (SWE), Luka Mezgec (SLO), Tom Veelers (NED)
Tinkoff-Saxo Has High Hopes for Tour of Turkey Last Stage
Tinkoff-Saxo's Tour of Turkey report:
With team sprinter Michael Kolar out of contention due to stomach issues, Tinkoff-Saxo had to settle for less on stage 7 in Tour of Turkey. However, team DS Nicki Sørensen expects a swift recovery for Kolar, who is to play a main role on the final, technical run-in towards the finish line in Istanbul, on Sunday afternoon.
Stage 7 to Izmir was decided in a bunch sprint finish, where Mark Cavendish took yet another win. Best Tinkoff-Saxo rider was Daniele Bennati, who finished 16th, while the team's front man in the general classification Jay McCarthy retained his 4th place overall.
Jay McCarthy is still in fourth place.
"Today, Michael Kolar still suffered from his stomach problems, which started yesterday. It's of course not ideal and he wasn't able to participate in the stage finale. However, Michael finished the stage and is still in contention tomorrow. So mainly Bennati but also McCarthy took part in the final sprint, but we didn't get a noteworthy result", says Tinkoff-Saxo's sports director Nicki Sørensen after the stage.
Despite two significant lumps on the profile of stage 7, the day ended in a fast bunch sprint, where Mark Cavendish (Etixx – Quickstep) beat his rivals on the line after 165km of racing. On the eve of the race conclusion, Nicki Sørensen expects Michael Kolar to be ready for action on the final stage into Istanbul.
"It's the last stage tomorrow and it's going to be another quick stage, where the sprinters will come to the fore. However, unlike the previous fast finales of Tour of Turkey, tomorrow's stage features a very technical and hectic finish with twists and turns right up until the finish line. I expect that Kolar is ready and back on top, his form is great, his motivation is high and the team is ready to support him", concludes Nicki Sørensen.
LottoNL-Jumbo Is Happy with Tour de Yorkshire Second Stage
I expected to get a report for LottoNL-Jumbo, and here it is:
Moreno Hofland sprinted to a long anticipated first win of the season for Team LottoNL-Jumbo on Saturday, as the Dutchman was unmatched in the bunch kick of the second stage of the Tour de Yorkshire.
"I'm very pleased that we are now rid of the hateful nil," Hofland said. "I had a difficult start of the season, things didn't go as planned, but hopefully we can keep this trend going. I was already full of morale, but this gives me an extra boost in the run-up to the Giro d'Italia. It would be great if I can do something like this again over there in Italy."
The 23-year-old Hofland started the sprint in York in fifth position. When a gap opened on the left side of the road, the Dutchman didn't hesitate. With a mighty final jump, he beat Matteo Pelluchi (IAM Cycling) and Ramon Sinkeldam (Giant-Alpecin) for the win.
Moreno Hofland wins Yorkshire stage 2.
"I sat in Robert Wagner's wheel for the final 40 kilometres. He dropped me off at the front for the sprint. After that, I chose to follow Pelluchi. I waited until the 200 metres sign and then used my speed to pass the others ," Hofland said of the sprint.
The Dutchman enjoyed the atmosphere along the way. "It was not normal. All those fans! In some villages, people were three or four rows deep. Very cool!"
Sports Director Nico Verhoeven was very content with the victory in the 174-kilometer stage from Selby to York. "This is very nice, of course. As a team we fought really hard for this win. Initially, Timo Roosen was in a break of 16, and so we didn't have to chase. When he and the seven other riders were caught, we still had to join the hunt though. In the final 80 kilometres we had to dig extremely deep, because Giant-Alpecin's Bert De Backer (who managed to stay ahead until the last kilometre, ed.) proved very tough to beat. The whole team has worked hard and long for this first victory. Of course there is some kind of relief."
Verhoeven hopes Steven Kruijswijk can compete with the overall riders in Sunday's third and final stage, a difficult ride with several climbs. "Steven crashed yesterday because of bad luck, but today he felt pretty good. A crash always has a negative influence. We'll see if Steven is recovered enough to be in the mix tomorrow."
And here's what Cult Energy had to say about the Yorkshire second stage:
The 174 kilometer long second stage of Tour of Yorkshire between Selby and York was dominated by a breakaway consisting of 8 riders and for once without Cult Energy Pro Cycling participation. But the Danish team controlled the peloton and made their mark on the events in the finale.
With 30 kilometers remaining, the gap was down to one minute and 30 seconds and the short gap motivated the escapees to start attacking each other but the field didn't miss their target. With several teams joining forces on the front of the pack including Cult Energy Pro Cycling, all odds were against breakaway success.
The final escapee was swept up entering the final kilometer and Cult Energy Pro Cycling constantly tried to elbow their way to the front to put Russell Downing in a favorable position for the expected bunch sprint finish. BMC put a massive pressure on the pack on the final kilometers and Greg van Avermaet launched a long sprint with a face full of teeth but he was surpassed on the final meters by Moreno Hofland (Lotto-Jumbo) who took the stage.
Russell Downing finished 7th in the frantic bunch sprint: "My teammates really did an amazing job keeping me out of trouble and they put me in an excellent position in the finale and unfortunately, I could only reward them by finishing 7th. On another note, it was an amazing day with thousands and thousands of fans along the road and especially, the run-in to York was a scene to remember forever," says Downing.
DS, Luke Roberts states: "When we didn't have a rider in the first break, we decided to make our mark on the race by controlling and setting the pace in the pack and the boys rode really well. Especially Rasmus Quaade put in a very strong effort on the front of the field putting the pressure on. We had our hopes up for a bit of crosswind to split things up but it wasn't to be. Tomorrow, we expect a much harder stage and we're looking forward to putting a man in the front and it's going to be interesting to see whether a single team will be able to control the anarchy I expect in the finale."
And, there is the Tour de Romandie
This came from the busy press office of Tinkoff-Saxo:
Tinkoff-Saxo's team captain Rafal Majka finished in a select group of favorites behind stage winner Thibaut Pinot on the toughest day of Tour de Romandie. The performance sent Majka climbing in the GC, where he sits 11th going into the final TT.
After yet another wet day of racing, the favorites were set to face each other on the last of four 1st category climbs finishing atop Champex-Lac. Rafal Majka finished in the first chasing group together with pre-race favorites Chris Froome and Nairo Quintana after having received support from his teammates during the mountainous stage. However, according to Tinkoff-Saxo's sports director Bruno Cenghialta, Majka could have achieved more.
"Rafal didn't seem convinced he would be able to do what he wanted to do. He was strong, he had the legs but he wasn't decisive enough to take the risk when he had to. He made a small mistake, when he went behind Romain Bardet. He hesitated and didn't continue. The group then bridged the gap and when Thibaut Pinot attacked, followed by Ilnur Zakarin, he remained in the group with Nairo Quintana and Chris Froome. He hesitated for a short while and missed the chance to, possibly, achieve something better. Maybe it wasn't easy to win the stage but at least he could have, potentially, aimed at second or third place", says Bruno Cenghialta.
Thibaut Pinot won the Tour de Romandie's penultimate stage.
After a dip during the early season races, Rafal Majka's shape is on the ascendency, according to Cenghialta. "He's in good form, he raced well in this hard stage and as we saw, only the top favorites remained at the finish. Maybe this brief moment of insecurity and hesitation was a result of him not being at 100% of the target shape. He still hasn't reached his peak form and while he's getting there, it might happen that at moments he's missing that small spark that could have allowed him to follow Pinot or Zakarin", adds Cenghialta, who believes that entering the top 10 could be possible.
"Rafal is focused now on tomorrow's individual time-trial. He will give his best there in order to secure a final GC spot in the top 10", concludes Tinkoff-Saxo's sport director.

The biennial Sima show returns this February in Paris, with packed halls full of manufacturers showcasing the best new machines and cutting-edge technology.
Back in November, the Sima preview highlighted some of the latest technology to be breaking cover at the show and dished out a few medals to the most exciting bits of kit.
French maker MX has developed its Tract-Pilot, which is a mouse-shaped add-on that can save the continual juggling of controls when using a front-end loader.
It allows the firm's electronic joystick to control tractor functions by hacking into the Canbus system on any make and model of tractor, providing the MX front-loader has the electronic joystick.
Forward and reverse shuttle, along with gear changes for powershift machines and a neutral button to allow for extra revs to speed up loader controls, are all controlled by the three-axis micro joystick on the side of the mouse.
It acts like an old-school steering wheel spinner when turning the wheel and can be installed in a few minutes with no cables. It's powered by a lithium battery, linking via radio waves to the electric joystick.
This should save drivers having to constantly change hand position by keeping one hand on the wheel and one on the loader.
Being awarded one of only two gold medals at the Sima awards was Laforge for its DynaTrac implement pull system, which centres the implement behind the tractor rather than letting it slip off course – for instance, when on a slope.
The system attaches to the three-point linkage on the tractor and effectively detaches the implement from being rigid with the tractor. Using a couple of hydraulic rams, it can shift the whole pull line of the implement to compensate for slippage or tougher soil areas.
Heavy draft work can be difficult to keep straight, no matter how many ponies you put on the front, and this interface can be used with any implement, from tillage trains to drills.
It does require a secondary GPS dome to be added to the implement to establish what correction is needed in relation to where the tractor is running.
In recent tests, Laforge says that in a field with a 1deg slope, the implement was working to a 15cm correction error without using the implement pull technology.
Everything is controlled via GPS, rather than relying on lots of different sensors.
Currently, the toolbar is only suitable for tractors with about 200hp, but there are plans to build a 600hp model in the near future. It should be a pretty simple task as the software stays the same – it's just the metal that needs strengthening.
Central tyre inflation systems are now offered on lots of new bits of kit to adjust pressures for road and field work in a bid to help save tyre wear and fuel.
A nifty invention from Sodijantes Industries has integrated an air tank into the rim of the wheel, which can reduce filling times by up to 90%, we're told.
The Tank Air Wheel is maintained at a 6bar pressure and can inflate all brands of tyre. The company says current systems on the market run from the braking compressor at low air flows or by using an external hydraulic compressor.
Not only does the tyre pressure increase quicker, but there is apparently a 20% fuel saving and the lifespan of the tyres is increased too.
Rabaud was showing its self-propelled, high-pressure washing machine for chicken coops and poultry sheds, which should keep the operator dry and reduce the amount of water used.
The remote-controlled tracked machine is powered by a 22hp Honda engine and runs through a hydrostatic motor.
The hydraulic arm extends to 4.5m high and has a 1.2m cleaning boom on the tip, five nozzles to blast any stubborn dirt, and tilt and rotation functions, so access to awkward areas shouldn't be an issue.
An onboard hydraulic piston pump delivers 87 litres/min at 140bar pressure, with work rates for a 1,000cu m building about three hours. There is the option to have a foam gun to apply detergent, too.
A high-pressure 100m hose feeds the arm and is hydraulically powered for rolling and unrolling, and a buzzer will alert the user when the level of water from the 1,000-litre external tank is too low.
Being remote controlled, the operator can stand a good distance away from the machine to avoid being splattered by falling dirt and water.
Kuhn has launched a new 'My Kuhn' platform for users to be notified of machine maintenance schedules for all its non-driven equipment.
Used through a phone, tablet or computer, the owner can select which machine they are maintaining from the menu and then hold the camera on the device up to the implement. The app will recognise the machine and indicate exactly where the grease and maintenance points are, as well as which way they face.
This may seem a bit tedious for users who know their machines back to front, but it could save time training new recruits such as harvest students or trainee workshops technicians.
There is also a spare parts service, so if the user notices something needs replacing, they can add it to the basket and see if it is in stock at a local store.
Do you find a lack of machine integration a pain?

Howard Kennedy Beale (* 8. April 1899 in Chicago, Illinois; † 27. Dezember 1959) war ein US-amerikanischer Historiker, bekannt für Arbeiten zur Reconstruction-Ära in den Südstaaten der USA. Er war ein Liberaler und Bürgerrechtsaktivist, der für akademische Freiheit eintrat.

Beale studierte an der University of Chicago mit dem Bachelor-Abschluss in Englisch 1921 und wurde an der Harvard University promoviert. Er war ab 1935 Professor an der University of North Carolina und von 1948 bis 1959 an der University of Wisconsin–Madison.

Beale wurde durch revisionistische Untersuchungen der Reconstruction-Ära bekannt, in der er im Sinn der Schule von Charles A. Beard ökonomische Interessen als treibende Kräfte ausmachte, statt politische oder verfassungsrechtliche Fragen, und in den 1930er Jahren die damals dominierende Dunning-Schule kritisierte. Nach seiner Beale These waren dies insbesondere Finanziers und Industrielle aus dem Nordosten der USA, die über die Republikaner Einfluss nahmen, um ihre ökonomischen Interessen durchzusetzen und den Einfluss der Südstaaten-Großgrundbesitzer und Farmer im Mittleren Westen zurückzudrängen.

Er veröffentlichte auch ein Buch über die Außenpolitik von US-Präsident Theodore Roosevelt sowie die Tagebücher des Marineministers von Abraham Lincoln, Gideon Welles, und Lincolns Generalstaatsanwalt (Attorney General) Edward Bates. Welles' Tagebuch war zwar schon 1911 erschienen, aber noch von diesem und seinem Sohn redigiert worden; Beale gab es nach dem Original heraus.

Lessons learned from the development of the Local Adaptation Plans in Mozambique: It's about cooperation and integration
Submitted by Léa Doumenjou 16th January 2015 11:56

In Mozambique, the efforts of the Ministry of Coordination and Environmental Affairs (MICOA) together with civil society actors to put communities at the center of climate change adaptation planning are now paying off, with the first Local Adaptation Plan (LAP) being approved by the government of Mozambique in Guija district. We asked Melq Gomes, who has been leading ACCRA consortium work with a solid team and committed members of the government for 3 years, to give us an overview of this new policy environment, how it came to life and how it generates accountability to those affected by a changing climate in this country.
Integrating local experience into national development planning process
In Mozambique there is a strong feeling of commitment to a decentralized and inclusive process for planning at the district level. A technical meeting in Maputo demonstrated this in June 2014, as representatives from several Ministry for Coordination and Environmental Affairs (MICOA) departments, the Africa Climate Change Resilience Alliance, and advisors linked to UNDP and DANIDA got together to review and share their reflections on the exercise of development of Local Adaptation Plans (LAPs) in several districts.
The first experiments with the LAP are now becoming part of the national planning process in a very dynamic way. The voices of men, women, youth and children, their knowledge and day-to-day experience are being heard by the state, and are being institutionalised and responded to. The workshops, which are led by the Government and supported by civil society, are designed to contain no jargon but are tailored to communities that already understand the need to adapt and create a resilient space.
The Government of Mozambique is institutionalizing the good practice experienced in this process by reflecting the outcomes of consultation with citizens in the district development plans. This is part of the first phase of the implementation of the recently adopted National Strategy for Adaptation and Mitigation of Climate Change in November 2012. This, coupled with the vision of decentralized planning in Mozambique has established a fertile ground for technical experts and district governments to work in strong collaboration, which has already resulted in a level of success registered in the field. This policy framework, when implemented effectively, can reward the efforts of committed experts at various levels of government. The development of the LAPs provides an opportunity to integrate various sectors and services at the local level as well as directly influence the national budget. Information from this climate sensitive planning at the local level can be used at the national level to prioritise activities which contribute to building resilience by using the existing framework for planning development and its institutions in the country.
A government led process supported by civil society actors
A LAP process guideline lists and summarizes key steps developed over the last year - an effort that brought together a number of MICOA and MPD technical staff at the central level. The officials attending capacity building programs actively supported the design of the methodology applied to the process and took leadership of the work undertaken within community consultation, in close cooperation with provincial and technical staff of the districts. This work included the Provincial Agency for Environmental Coordination (DPCAs), district government representatives, as well as technical services pertaining to district planning and infrastructure (SDPIs) and district departments of economic activities (SDAEs). ACCRA technical support was instrumental in this work particularly in convening a group of leaders: men, women, youth and children under the coordination of the national consortium member University of Eduardo Mondlane.
The project will continue to advocate for plans and budgets developed by the Ministry of Planning and Development (MPD) to reflect the efforts made in the development of LAPs. ACCRA will recommend that the existing specific budget line for adaptation activities (MC004) is better utilised and establishes close links between the components of monitoring and evaluation of the most central level with those established in the LAPs.

This video-documentary sponsored by ACCRA and DANIDA illustrates every step of the Local Adaptation Plan process in Guija district, Mozambique.

ACCRA has contributed to the development of a toolkit which supports those responsible for developing the district adaptation plans. This toolkit drew on existing information already developed by ACCRA alliance members and key partners, such as the Community Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment (developed by CARE) and the Theory of Change developed by the Tracking Adaptation Monitoring Development (TAMD) program run by the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) and Save the Children, which started with training of trainers of MICOA and MPD central level staff.
ACCRA members in Mozambique actively participated in the project. Save the Children led the development of the LAPs in the districts of Guija and Chigubo (Gaza province); the former being the site of initial studies and pilot activities which generated the evidence and tools necessary for LAP development. In July 2014, Guija became the home district of the first approved LAP in Mozambique. Oxfam through partners (FACILIDADE) took the lead in the district of Mongicual and CARE in Angoche (Nampula province). World Vision covered Mopai and Morrumbal districts in Zambezia province.
