It's Friday night and I'm running late. I need to pick up some groceries and a bottle of wine on my way home. Like most of my trips to the supermarket, I want to be in and out as quickly as possible. The fact that I'm running late only heightens the need for a swift getaway.
When I arrive at the supermarket, it's busy. Of course it is! People are rushing around the aisles desperately trying to find what they need. I make good time finding the groceries and pick a nice bottle of red wine to go with our dinner. Time for my exit.
The checkouts look like a theme park, with queues everywhere. So I make my way to the self-checkouts where the queue is long but moving fast. Nearly there.
I arrive at the self-checkout and there are no bags. No big deal, I can carry my shopping. Beep, beep, "Unexpected item in bagging area". A few frustrating minutes pass before I get the attention of an assistant, who fixes the problem. Beep, beep, "Please wait for assistance". The wine. Yes, I look over 25 (unfortunately), but I need the assistant again. Perhaps automation needs a human touch?
Automation is increasing at a rapid pace, not only in QA testing but in daily life. From Alexa to Siri, the technology we use is becoming more automated to make our lives easier.
"The pace of progress is remarkable… Robots will be able to do everything better than us."
But how does automation translate to the world of software testing? Learn how to implement test automation for the first time.
What is automated QA testing?
Automated QA testing is when software is used to execute scripted test cases on a software application. For example, your application might have a registration form with a multiple-choice question. A script could automate each answer to ensure it works. When the outcomes don't match the script, they are flagged for review. In this case it's a huge time saver versus a human tester. There is more information about automated testing in our software testing guide.
As it stands, 100% automated testing is very difficult. By nature, automated tests are limited to the test cases that are written for them. They won't test any bugs outside of this scope.
A self-checkout machine in a supermarket can be a time saver. But when it needs a human to step in and make a decision for it, e.g. whether a customer is over the legal drinking age, it loses one of its main benefits. Saving time.
Added to this, the implementation and ongoing maintenance of automation require a large investment of time and money.
Remember your school days? After checking an essay multiple times, why did a friend spot a glaring mistake that you didn't?
Your friend had no emotional attachment to the essay. By writing it, you did. This created an involuntary unwillingness to make changes or see errors. Your friend brought a different perspective, which often brings better results.
A common misconception of automation is that it removes the human element completely. But who writes the test cases or scripts? Automated testing needs human input to function properly. At least until the machines take over permanently!
In-house developers and testers don't always create the best test cases. Even more so on less common areas of an application that are harder to use automated testing with. For example, having a tester personally interact with an application in the actual geographic location you want to test in.
The same goes for test cases that are run multiple times. New bugs can be introduced into your application after each product enhancement or fix. Test cases in automation become ineffective without ongoing human input.
Why is the human touch still crucial in QA?
Manual testers inspire creativity and complement the testing phase by giving developers new ideas. They serve as a fresh pair of eyes when developers need quick, critical input. Manual testing provides a much-needed sanity check on real mobile devices that vary so widely.
Exploratory testing adds a different perspective to the testing process. This is where testers explore an application to make sure it is working as it should. They use their own experience to find real-world bugs from the end-user perspective. By testing the application like this, testers are more likely to find bugs that customers might encounter.
Finding unique bugs is a skill that requires a certain mindset and motivation. Professional testers want to find bugs; it's what they're good at. Crowdsourced testers have two key focuses with each test cycle. Quality and time. They have the added motivation of being paid per bug they find but they are also held accountable for the quality of the bug reports they deliver.
As our world becomes more automated, so does testing. Yet, as elsewhere in life, in automated testing you only get out what you put in. If your testing is becoming more automated, don't forget it still needs human input to be successful.
Developers and in-house testers are so invested in the application that sometimes bugs get missed. This is no one's fault - it's inevitable. Testing requires an outsider who has little or no emotional attachment to the application to offer a fresh pair of eyes. External testers can provide a much needed sanity check.
Utilising a large, diverse community of professional testers can complement your in-house testing. Automation is a great time saver for certain testing but finding the subtle, unique bugs is what crowdsourced testing does best. Professional testers explore the application as they see fit from a user perspective. The larger test coverage means more high-priority bugs are found with a fast turnaround of 48 hours or even under an hour for test case execution.
Automated testing is an amazing innovation that continues to improve QA testing. It is certainly a time saver versus manual testing when used in the right situations. As it stands, it needs ongoing human intervention to write test cases. To yield the best results, test cases need to be an ongoing collaboration between developers and testers (in-house and external).
In the wider context of QA testing, it's very difficult to rely on 100% automated testing. Manual testing is better at finding end-user bugs that automation, via predefined test cases, often miss.
Whether your testing and releases rely on speed or quality, a mix of automated testing and manual testing will, for now, create the outcome you want - a better-quality application.

PI5P4Kγ functions in DTX1-mediated notch signaling
Li Zheng, Sean D. Conner
Genetics, Cell Biology and Development (TMED)
Notch signaling is an evolutionarily conserved pathway that is essential for development, where it controls processes ranging from cell differentiation to survival. Transport through endosomes is a critical step in regulating Notch signaling capacity, where the E3 ubiquitin ligase DTX1 is thought to control Notch1 intracellular transport decisions by direct receptor ubiquitination. However, how DTX1 regulates Notch1 transport within endosomes and the consequence of Notch1 ubiquitination by DTX1 remain unresolved. Here we demonstrate that DTX1 colocalizes with Notch1 on tubulovesicular recycling endosomes. We find that DTX1 silencing leads to enhanced Notch1 recycling from this compartment to the cell surface via a rab4a-mediated transport route. This, in turn, increases Notch1 cell-surface levels and enhances signaling. Surprisingly, we discovered that DTX1 depletion also elevates Notch1 activity mediated by a mutant form of the receptor that lacks lysine residues for ubiquitination, suggesting that DTX1 targets additional factors. Using an activity-based screen for ubiquitination targets, we identified multiple DTX1 substrates including PI5P4Kγ, a lipid kinase involved in PI(4,5)P2 production. Immunolocalization analysis reveals that PI5P4Kγ, like DTX1 and Notch1, is present on tubulovesicular recycling endosomes. However, in contrast to DTX1, Notch1 signaling is inhibited by pharmacological inactivation or siRNA depletion of PI5P4Kγ. Moreover, loss of PI5P4Kγ activity decreases Notch1 recycling rates and reduces receptor cell-surface levels. Collectively, these findings argue that PI5P4Kγ positively regulates the Notch pathway by promoting receptor recycling. Additionally, they support a model where DTX1 controls Notch1 endosomal sorting decisions by controlling PI5P4Kγ-mediated production of PI(4,5)P2.

Emotion (estilizado como E•MO•TION) es el tercer álbum de estudio de la cantante canadiense Carly Rae Jepsen. Fue lanzado el 24 de junio de 2015 en Japón y el 21 de agosto de 2015 en todo el mundo a través de 604 Records, School Boy e Interscope Records. Notándose una transición saliendo del "pop puro" (realizado en su anterior álbum, Kiss), Jepsen se inspiró en la música pop de la década de los 1980s y en algunos estilos alternativos. Ella trabajó con un equipo de colaboradores de indie pop como: Dev Hynes, Ariel Rechtshaid y Rostam Batmanglij.

Emotion recibió generalmente críticas positivas de críticos de música contemporánea, quienes colocaron al álbum entre los mejores del año 2015. A pesar de esto, el álbum no debutó de buena manera en todo el mundo, debutando en número dieciséis en la Billboard 200 con 16,153 ventas y número ocho en Canadá con 2600 copias vendidas. Aun así, Emotion fue un éxito en Japón donde fue estrenado dos meses antes que su estreno mundial, debutando en número ocho con 12,189 copias físicas vendidas y posteriormente siendo Oro certificado, superando 100 000 copias por el RIAJ.

El álbum estuvo precedido por la liberación de su sencillo líder, «I Really Like You», el cual logró ser top 5 en varios territorios que incluyen el Reino Unido y Japón. Este fue seguido de «Run Away with Me» y «Your Type». Jepsen embarcó su gira Gimmie Love Tour en promoción del álbum en noviembre de 2015, con una segunda parte que comenzó en febrero de 2016.

Antecedentes
Siguiendo el repentino éxito en todo el mundo de «Call Me Maybe» en 2012, Jepsen encontró que la canción había venido "[esta] enorme, y descomunal cosa que realmente eclipsó el resto de nuestro proyecto". Jepsen lo vio como una oportunidad de reflejar y un paso atrás de la sobreexposición para descubrir qué dirección debía tomar con su álbum próximo. Ella se reunió con su compañía disquera y la administración después del The Summer Kiss Tour

Jepsen pasó tiempo buscando un "desvío" que llegó en la forma de una función de Broadway: " pensé, en lo asombroso que tenía que ser para tomar una vuelta a la izquierda, de alguna manera, y todavía vuelto a esto? [...] Pero 'vuelta izquierda'—no supe lo que aquel significado." Ella se acercó con los productores de Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella para audicionar para el papel titular, y fue formalmente ofrecido después de audicionar en Los Ángeles y siendo ella llamada de vuelta en Nueva York. Jepsen pospuso la función para doce semanas de febrero de 2014 a junio de 2014, y durante este tiempo decidió manejar su propio A&R. Con ayuda del guitarrista Tavish Crowe, Jepsen empezó mandar correos electrónicos a artistas que admiraba para ver si estuvan interesados en colaborar, incluyendo a Tegan y Sara, Rostam Batmanglij de Vampire Weekend y Shellback.

Composición y desarrollo
En junio de 2013, Jepsen dijo a Idolator  que ella ya estaba trabajando en su tercer álbum de estudio. Compartió que la grabación incorporaría música pop y folk, y usando a Robyn, La Roux, Kimbra y Dragonette como influencias para las sesiones de estudio. Confirmó que trabajó con sus productores pasados, Josh Ramsay, Ryan Stewart y Max Martin mientras que también por primera vez con Benny Blanco y Stargate. Estaba previsto ser liberado en el primer trimestre de 2014 pero fue pospuesto. Jepsen declaró que no apresuraría el álbum, tomando su tiempo para hacer seguro y de calidad.

Eternal Summer era el título previsto para el álbum, siendo este el título de una canción indie pop que después fue descartada de la producción.

Durante el proceso del álbum, se reveló que 250 canciones fueron compuestas. Jepsen anunció el título del álbum el 11 de abril de 2015 y liberó la carátula el 15 de abril . Mientras que el listado de las canciones oficiales se reveló el 2 de junio.

Locaciones de grabación
Jepsen grabó el álbum en un gran número de estudios de grabación como: Wolf Cousins Studios (Estocolmo, Suecia), P.S. Studio (Estocolmo, Suecia), Kinglet Studios (Estocolmo, Suecia), Heavy Dunt Studios (Burbank, California), No Excuses Studio (Santa Mónica, California), Conway Recording Studios (Hollywood, California), Templebase Studios (Hollywood, California), United Recording  (Hollywood, California), Paramount Studios  (Hollywood, California), The Record Plant (Hollywood, California), Echo, Studio (Los Ángeles, California), MXM Studios (Los Ángeles, California), Venice Way Studios (Los Ángeles, California),  Rocket Carousel Studios  (Los Ángeles, California), Lounge Studios (Ciudad de Nueva York, Nueva York), Kustom Deluxe Studio  (Nashville, Tennessee), Monarch Studios (Vancouver, Columbia Británica).

Promoción y lanzamiento
la promoción del álbum se inició con una presentación en vivo del sencillo líder, «I Really Like You» en el programa matutino estadounidense Good Morning America el 5 de marzo de 2015.
El 4 de abril de 2015, Jepsen, actuó «All That» en el programa Saturday Night Live.
El 1 de mayo de 2015, Jepsen presentó  «Run Away with Me», «E·MO·TION», «Your Type», «Black Heart» y «Gimmie Love», en un espectáculo en Pekín, China. En la fecha de lanzamiento de Emotion en Estados Unidos el 21 de agosto, Jepsen interpretó «Run Away with Me» en el programa Today. Durante su gira en Sudáfrica en octubre de 2015,  cantó «Run Away with Me» en el Idols South Africa.

Sencillos

 El sencillo líder del álbum,«I Really Like You», fue lanzado en la iTunes Store el 2 de marzo de 2015.La canción se convirtió en un éxito comercial en todo el mundo, alcanzando el top 40 en Australia, Canadá, Japón y Países Bajos, logrando llegar al número 39 de la lista Hot 100 de Billboard en Estados Unidos, al número 3 en Irlanda y en la UK Singles Chart, y número 1 en la Scottish Singles Chart. El vídeo musical fue estrenado el 6 de marzo de 2015, presentando a Tom Hanks y Justin Bieber.
 «Run Away with Me» fue lanzado como el segundo sencillo del álbum el 17 de julio de 2015. Su video musical se lanzó el 17 de julio de 2015 y dirigido por el novio de Carly, David Kalani Larkins. El vídeo se filmó en Tokio, Nueva York y París.
La pista se estrenó en la radio Hit FM en España el 22 de junio de 2015.
 «Your Type» se re-lanzó como el tercer sencillo oficial el 9 de noviembre de 2015 (en Europa). Un remix oficial se sacó el 11 de diciembre en Europa y Oceanía y en América del Norte fue el 18 de ese mismo mes. Su video musical lo dirigió  Gia Coppola, estrenado el 3 de noviembre y muestra a Jepsen en una historia donde su personaje tiene fantasías acerca de convertirse en una estrella del pop.

 «Boy Problems» sirvió como el cuarto sencillo del disco. El vídeo se liberó el 8 de abril de 2016.

National Institutes of Health Lectures in Biomedical Sciences: Current Topics in Biochemistry is based on a series of lectures dealing with current topics in biochemistry and more biologically or medically oriented topics. These lectures were organized for the benefit of young physicians who had just finished their clinical training but were several years out-of-date with respect to basic scientific research. The lecturers were asked, therefore, to present not only their own contributions to the field but also a broad review of recent developments in a large area of science. The lectures were surprisingly well attended not only by the associates for whom they had originally been designed but also by a large fraction of the NIH research community, specialists and nonspecialists alike. The lectures in this volume cover the following topics: genetic control of lipid metabolism; mammalian RNA-containing tumor viruses; current directions in research on cyclic AMP; the chemistry and biology of collagen; properties of the protein complex of striated muscle involved in the contractile process; cell surface receptor sites; and membrane structure and function.

Nicholas Sparks spreads love anew in 'The Choice'
Nicholas Sparks has kept the flame of love burning for his millions of readers with his bestselling novels. He has authored 18 books that feature male characters which he calls "Joe Average" or "guys who build furniture, high school students, and soldiers". Yet he makes them stand out because of how deeply they fall in love and how strongly they express their feelings thru love letters, idyllic dates, and heroic deeds. Meanwhile, the female characters usually want to appear strong when deep inside they are really vulnerable. And when these women meet their own Joe Average, attraction, passion, and love are sure to spark.
It is not surprising that film adaptations of Sparks' novels are generally box office hits. The Notebook starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams was produced for only less than $30 million, but grossed around $115 million worldwide. Since 2004, it has remained the top-grossing Sparks movie in the US, and the most critically acclaimed. Surely, no one can forget how Noah (Gosling) and Ally's (McAdams) love for each other defied class difference, sickness, and lasted 'til their last breath.
In terms of worldwide earnings, Message in a Bottle, starring Robin Wright and Kevin Costner, enjoys the title of being the highest-grossing Sparks movie all over the world. Dear John, the drama-war film starring Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried, comes next after The Notebook. Grossing at $30,468,614 in its opening weekend in February 2010, Dear John is reportedly the best debut for a film based on a Nicholas Sparks novel. The Lucky One, which is about a US Marine (Zac Efron) who tracks down the woman (Taylor Schilling) whose photo he has carried around like a lucky charm while fighting in Iraq, is consistent in the top 5 highest-grossing Sparks movie. Not far behind is Safe Haven, which combines suspense and romance when a newcomer (Julianne Hough) in town finds a friend and lover in a widower (Josh Duhamel), and their bond forces her to confront her darkest secrets.
A Walk To Remember (2002), Nights in Rodanthe (2008), The Last Song (2010), The Best of Me (2014), and The Longest Ride (2015) are five other titles enjoyed by moviegoers.
This February, The Choice is the 11th Sparks movie to hit the big screen. It tells the story of new neighbors Gabby Holland and Travis Shaw who start off on the wrong foot, but manage to forge a friendship eventually. Gabby is preparing to settle down with her longtime boyfriend Ryan who is a doctor, and Travis is holding on to his belief that having a girlfriend would cramp his easygoing lifestyle. But an irresistible attraction between them poses a challenge to their well-planned lives. A love triangle that stars TV and stage actor Benjamin Walker (from the Broadway play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, opposite Scarlett Johansson), Australian charmer Teresa Palmer (I Am Number Four), and Tom Welling (Smallville's Clark Kent/Superman), The Choice traces the evolution of a love affair that is tested by life's most defining events and poses the question: How far would you go to keep the hope of love alive?
From Viva International Pictures and MVP Entertainment, The Choice opens in cinemas on February 17, 2016.

On May 28, 2006, it was announced that Thompson was leaving the band. Islands decided to continue on without Thompson, and a European tour was scheduled, and further recordings confirmed. The band later emerged the following month for two surprise appearances in Montreal, performing with a new lineup including new drummer Aaron Harris and multi-instrumentalist Kate Perkins, before departing for Europe the following week.
Marcy puts herself in a near-death state to recover her lost memories from when she was reset. The memories she receives include those of the original host Marcy, showing that the host's intellectual disability was caused by Vincent/001 testing Simon's incomplete consciousness transfer technology on her. While she is out of commission, Mac and the rest of the team are ordered to provide Hall with backup in protecting the future 53rd President of the United States, who is currently a prepubescent girl.

Certain that his team erased his memory of the previous day, MacLaren retraces his steps in the case of a disturbed youth with a horrific future. The future is changed due to his positive impact on the boy. Jeff, confronting the Travelers with his knowledge of their existence, is overwritten by a new Traveler. Grace grants the predecessor of the Director, an AI called Elsa, access to the Internet so MacLaren and his team can use it to find Traveler 001.
Kathryn confronts MacLaren about an affair she believes he is having, leading him to end his relationship with Carly. Charlotte, the misfire historian, is overwritten and murders her team. She attempts to assassinate Grace, but Trevor stops her. Grace reveals that the anti-Director faction was responsible for the team's abduction. Charlotte is shot by Jeff while attempting to kill Carly. Ellis reveals that he has built a quantum frame that the Director, an advanced AI, can use to travel to the present to escape the faction. David is held at gunpoint by another assassin but is saved by Marcy. The team arrives at the farm where Trevor has received a text to destroy the frame. Boyd reveals she received an order to kill MacLaren and holds him at gunpoint; Carly later reveals having been given the same mission. Assassins surround the farm as Ellis shoots Trevor to keep him from harming the frame. Grace jumps in front of Trevor and is shot as well. Ellis shuts down the perimeter shield in the hope that the Director will help them and delivers a message to destroy the frame shortly before he dies. It is revealed that the people surrounding them are not anti-Director assassins, but FBI agents led by Forbes.

One type of volcanic oceanic island is found in a volcanic island arc. These islands arise from volcanoes where the subduction of one plate under another is occurring. Examples are the Aleutian Islands, the Mariana Islands, and most of Tonga in the Pacific Ocean. The only examples in the Atlantic Ocean are some of the Lesser Antilles and the South Sandwich Islands.
Landlocked Laos might be quieter than Southeast Asian neighbors like Vietnam and Thailand, but 2018 could transform the country into the region's next hot spot. Wattay International Airport, in the capital of Vientiane, is set to complete a terminal expansion to accommodate more international links next year, but the biggest changes are foot in the UNESCO World Heritage–inscribed town of Luang Prabang, in central Laos. This serene riverside spot lures travelers to its golden Buddhist temples, French-colonial architecture, hiking trails, nearby elephant sanctuaries — and now, glamorous new digs. Last year, the design-forward Azerai opened inside a century-old French-colonial building that was formerly an officer's quarters. The debut concept from Aman Resorts founder Adrian Zecha has airy, light wood interiors that nod to local culture in their use of batik textiles and Laotian artwork. There's also an 80-foot swimming pool in a tree-shaded central courtyard. The upcoming Rosewood Luang Prabang aims to be a destination in itself. Opening in mid 2018, this highly anticipated resort will feature pavilion-style villas, luxury tents, and a spa that seems to float above the jungle. —Kate Springer
The project culminates in September with a week of public arts programming developed by Cecilia Alemani, chief curator of the High Line in New York. Then, in October, 4,000 teen athletes from more than 200 countries will flock to the city for the Youth Olympic Games. The southern Villa Soldati neighborhood has seen significant development in anticipation of the events, with new housing, parks, and sports venues that will breathe life into the area well after the Olympians return home. Should you miss out on the world-class athletes, drown your sorrows in a world-class meal. Tegui, an eight-year-old restaurant in trendy Palermo, was recently named one of the World's 50 Best Restaurants — the first time an Argentinean spot has made the list in 15 years. —Sorrel Moseley-Williams
It's one of the world's great wine capitals, and like any great vintage, Mendoza is only getting better with age. Start your tasting tour in the Uco Valley, where Casa de Uco's vineyard-view eco-villas will debut this year. Head down the road to to Vines of Mendoza's Winemakers' Village for small-production wines from the likes of Corazón del Sol and SuperUco, and to dine at winery Bodega Monteviejo, where renowned Spanish chef Nadia Harón cooks up Mediterranean-tinged fare inspired by the wines. In Maipú, wineries like Club Tapiz and Trapiche are giving visitors a true taste of the local terroir, using produce grown on the vineyard grounds in their restaurants. Back in town, plot your return trip over a pie at Francis Mallman's year-old pizzeria, Orégano. With new direct flights from Lima, Panama City, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo, and low-cost carrier Norwegian Air plotting dozens of new routes, tacking a Mendoza stop on to your next South American itinerary will be a breeze. —Sorrel Moseley-Williams
Saint Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Co. was founded March 5, 1853, in St. Paul, Minnesota, serving local customers who were having a difficult time getting claim payments in a timely manner from insurance companies on the east coast of the United States. It barely survived the Panic of 1857 by dramatically paring down its operations and later reorganizing itself into a stock company (as opposed to a mutual company). It soon spread its operations across the country. In 1998 it acquired USF&G, known formerly as United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company, an insurance company based in Baltimore, Maryland, for $3.9 billion in stock and assumed debt.[5][6] By buying USF&G, they went from the 13th to the eighth largest property and casualty insurance company in the United States. Through economies of scale between the two companies, and a difficult business environment, they downsized the company substantially over the coming years by selling certain business units to focus on more profitable business units.[7][8]

The team learns that Traveler 001 is still alive in the body of his former psychologist, Perrow, when the Faction tries to capture him/her. Perrow dies but they believe 001 had access to a transfer device (since in the future he helped construct one) and as a result they are unsure where his consciousness now resides. Doubts about their loved ones worsen for Kat (suffering hallucinations and suspicions), Jeff (now, not Jeff and trying to make amends) and David, who is concussed.
In August 2012, Travelers sued the National Football League for forcing the company and its subsidiaries to pay to defend the league for failing to protect players from brain injury, in a case filed in the New York State Supreme Court called Discover Property & Casualty Co. et al. vs. National Football League et al., New York State Supreme Court, New York County, No. 652933/2012. The league had sued over three dozen insurance companies the week before in an attempt to cover the claims that players made against the league.[41][42][43]
Thai tourism is as robust as ever: more than 21 million international visitors poured into the capital in 2016, making it the world's most visited city. To accommodate all those arrivals, the metropolis is welcoming a bevy of posh new hotels in the coming year. The Waldorf Astoria Bangkok will have a spa, rooftop bar, and outdoor infinity pool overlooking the Royal Bangkok Sports Club, while the 155-room Bangkok Edition will open this summer in MahaNakhon, a towering skyscraper with a swirl of cubical cutouts wrapping around the building. Four Seasons and Capella both have properties in the works on the Chao Phraya Estate, a lush riverfront development that's part shopping and dining destination, part tropical escape. The Michelin Guide will make its long-awaited debut here this year, drawing attention to one of the world's most dynamic culinary scenes. And for art lovers, there's a flock of brand-new multipurpose creative spaces to explore, including the Thailand Creative & Design Center, which just relocated to a former General Post Office on historic Charoen Krung Road; Warehouse 30, a series of World War II-era warehouses revamped by starchitect Duangrit Bunnag; and ChangChui, an immense complex of bars, shops, and restaurants constructed out of upcycled materials, including an airplane salvaged from the scrap pile. —Diana Hubbell
The Moroccan city has attracted an artistic crowd since the 1960s, when everyone from Yves Saint Laurent to Mick Jagger fell for its vibrant sensory landscape. Now the city's cultural scene is being reinvigorated, thanks to two landmark happenings in the world of art and design. First came last October's launch of the YSL Museum — a striking geometric building next to the Jardin Majorelle, which Saint Laurent and his partner, Pierre Bergé, bought and restored in the 1980s. Then, in February, the 1:54 Contemporary African Art Fair will debut at the storied hotel La Mamounia. Marrakesh has had an art biennial since 2005 — the next is slated for 2020 — and the city is home to a number of well-regarded galleries. But the arrival of 1:54, which has editions in London and New York and draws names like Billie Zangewa and William Kentridge, is set to position the city as a hub for African art. There's also hotel news. Oberoi is poised to open its third African property here, a lakeside resort surrounded by citrus orchards. And Royal Mansour has added a 6,450-square-foot pool flanked by seven air-conditioned cabanas. —Flora Stubbs
Carly loses custody of her son until the trial. Grace is due to die, so Trevor kidnaps her to save her life. Believing he is insane, she flees and is overwritten despite having avoided the accident that would have killed her. Grace and another newly arrived traveler, Ellis, are computer programmers who have fled an anti-Director faction in the future. Ellis has developed a code that is sought by this faction, and has returned to the 21st century to keep it from them. David and Marcy consummate their relationship. However, her condition worsens and Boyd stabilizes her, but Marcy is near death. In the future, Grace was in charge of social media research and identifying the candidates. She wants to correct Marcy's condition with an experimental overwrite. She offers to redirect Marcy's original transfer into the functional part of her brain, saving her at the cost of her 21st-century memories. MacLaren lets Marcy decide, and she decides to speak to David first. However, her condition becomes critical shortly before David returns home, and she is overwritten by her earlier self. Her team introduces her to David.
To prevent an explosion that kills thousands, the team steals antimatter from a military convoy. The material's intended recipient is a new traveler who fails to prevent his host's suicide, forcing the team to improvise. After failing to upgrade their containment device, the team returns the antimatter to its origin facility. They form a tenuous alliance with Dr. Delaney, who produced the antimatter; history records her as complicit in the weaponization of antimatter, but she actually opposes Major Gleason's ambitions. MacLaren informs Delaney that they will return soon. Philip retains his host's heroin addiction. MacLaren meets his wife, Kat, but also resumes a preexisting relationship with Carly. Marcy works to build trust with a confused David.


Umeå IK goes to Lyon for the UEFA Women's Cup semifinal on Sunday with their entire team, except Hanna Ljungberg. Not, as you would think, because of an injury, but due to a cold. And, explains coach Andrée Jeglertz, not because that she is that ill, but he doesn't want to risk her passing on the infection to any other players. Otherwise has Hanna, except for a minor thing in her thigh, had her best pre-season for a very long time. The prescription has been, says Hanna, to train less and rest more.
Umeå IK has never played Olympique Lyon before, but they are not taking anything for granted. Assistant coach Steve Galloway went to Lyon to watch OL play Montpellier a few weeks ago and came back impressed. Even if the surroundings around the match wasn't the best - it was played on a training field without any stands, so he really didn't get the best view of the game, and there wasn't any match program or even a line-up - Galloway saw enough not to underestimate the French side: "It was a long time since I saw a team where everyone were that comfortable with the ball". In particular Camilla Abily caught his eye, but "everyone was good, technical and comfortable with the ball". Lyon plays an offensive 4-3-3, quite a bit like Umeå, and Galloway predicted that the Umeå audience will love to watch them.
Does anyone know if the UEFA match will be shown online anywhere?
In Sweden SVT is showing both home and away games live, but not online. Olympique Lyon's own TV channel is sending at least their home leg. They might have it on-line too, check olweb.fr. But if they have anything, you'll probably have to pay for a premium membership to get it.
Yes, OL is fond of charging for the 'good stuff' online. Ah, well. I'll do some more looking around before accepting defeat. Thanks so much.

Seqster launches new cloud version of virtual trial data tool
COVID-19-themed cyber attacks hit healthcare bodies
There has been a spike in cyber attacks during the coronavirus pandemic, targeting government and medical organisations at the forefront of the response to COVID-19.
An analysis by online security consultancy Unit 42 says that COVID-19-themed attacks have been carried out on a range of targets, including a government healthcare organisation and multiple medical research university in Canada, a research institute in Japan and a Korean chemical manufacturer.
"Despite prior reporting by various sources indicating that some cyber threat attacker activity may subside in some respects during the COVID-19 pandemic, Unit 42 has observed quite the opposite," says the security firm in a report on activity observed between 24 and 30 March.
Most of the incidents were phishing campaigns that took the form of either ransomware attacks – which if activated encrypt IT systems and demand a payment for bringing them back online – or 'infostealer' malware designed to gather information.
Some phishing emails were sent from a spoofed World Health Organization (WHO) email address, while others were ostensibly from companies offering equipment used in the response against the coronavirus.
Thankfully, none of them were successful, but Unit 24 notes that it isn't a surprise to see cybercriminals "taking advantage of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic crisis and using COVID-19 as a lure to entice victims to click on malicious attachments and infect their systems."
Last month, cyber criminals launched a ransomware attack on London-based contract research organisation (CRO) Hammersmith Medicines Research which was working on coronavirus projects with the UK government.
IT staff repelled the attack by the Maze group, but not before the hackers stole and published sensitive information on more than 2,300 patients. Maze had previously pledged to not attacking any organisations involved in coronavirus research while the pandemic is ongoing.
Earlier attacks have targeted pharma companies as well, sometimes with extremely costly consequences.
In 2017, Merck was among a slew of companies hit by the notorious WannaCry ransomware attack, which disrupted medicine and vaccine production and cost the company $135 million in lost revenues. It also spent an estimated $175 million to shore up the security of its IT systems.
Last year, Bayer revealed it had been subjected to a year-long cyber-attack – thought to originate from the China-based Winnti hacking group – which took months to resolve.
Microsoft steps up
In response to news of the attacks, Microsoft has started offering its AccountGuard threat notification service – usually used by political groups – at no cost to healthcare organisations and human rights and humanitarian groups.
Citing recent attacks involving Brno University Hospital in the Czech Republic, hospital systems in France, Spain, Thailand and the US, and the World Health Organization (WHO), Microsoft says there is evidence that the bad actors are having an impact on COVID-19 testing and treatment as well as the delivery of guidance.
"In some cases, attackers could be looking for COVID-19-related intelligence, or to disrupt the provision of desperately needed care or supplies," says the tech giant in a blog post.
"With today's announcement, we are seeking to notify customers when we see attacks and provide guidance to help."
Free access is available to hospitals, care facilities, clinics, labs and clinicians providing front line services as well as pharmaceutical, life sciences and medical devices companies until the pandemic subsides, according to Microsoft.

Like the American bison or the passenger pigeon the radiated tortoise (Astrochelys radiata) has gone from super-abundant to nearly extinct. The species could be gone by 2030 warn researchers. Photo by Robert Walker.
Once one of the world's most abundant tortoises, numbering in the millions, Madagascar's radiated tortoise is on the very brink of extinction. Killed for their meat by one of the world's most impoverished people, new surveys last month by the Turtle Survival Alliance (TSA), The Orianne Society, and Nautilus Ecology have further confirmed the precipitous decline of this once common reptile.
"Traditionally, tortoise meat was served on special occasions, but now it is eaten on a daily basis. Hundreds of pieces of discarded tortoise shells litter the sidewalks in some communities. This staggering level of consumption is not sustainable," explains Dr. Christina Castellano, Director of Turtle Conservation at The Orianne Society in a press release.
Armed poaching gangs are causing "the systematic extermination of this species" says Ryan Walker, a biologist with Nautilus Ecology.

Once common tortoise from Madagascar will be 'extinct in 20 years'
(04/05/2010) The radiated tortoise, once common throughout Madagascar, faces extinction within the next 20 years due to poaching for its meat and the illegal pet trade, according to biologists with the Turtle Survival Alliance (TSA) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). Returning from field surveys in southern Madagascar's spiny forest, they found regions without a single turtle. Locals said that armed bands of poachers were taking truckloads of tortoises to be sold in meat markets. The tortoise is also popular in the underground pet trade, although it is protected by CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species).

Revealed at the 2009 Chicago Auto Show, Ford's Transit Link rewrote the commercial van playbook for tradespersons and little urban delivery operations. Little scale front-drive vans have actually been common in Europe and in other places for decades– the Transit Link itself dates to 2002, when it changed the Ford Courier– but the principle was new to the U.S. market.
Approval was a little sluggish at launch, but the commonsense elements of the style– helpful metropolitan size, abundant freight capability, respectable fuel economy, affordable rates, low operating expense, upfits for a variety of commercial enterprises– quickly stimulated sales. And the 2011 advent of a guest variation– the Transit Connect Wagon (Ford would choose that you avoid calling it a minivan)– included display room momentum.
The Transit Connect household was updated for the 2014 model year, and Ford pulled the wraps off a 2019 variation of the Wagon at the Chicago Auto Show. (The upgraded Van will be revealed at the NTEA Work Truck show in Indianapolis March 6.).
Sales: Ford reports that over 300,000 Transit Connect vehicles have discovered their way to owners given that the 2010 model year. Since then the concept has likewise inspired competitors: the Chevrolet City Express, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City, all available in freight van and passenger editions. But Ford mentions that the competitors are still in their very first generation, whereas the Transit Connect is on the limit of its third overhaul.
Ford represents the 2019 Transit Connect as the third generation of the vehicle since its introduction in the U.S., but that might be viewed as a little enthusiastic. Structurally, the compact wagon rollovers– very same front-drive architecture, same two-wheelbase option, same dimensions, same cargo capacities.
As you 'd expect of a third generation, Ford has actually fine-tuned the cosmetics, giving the wagon a brand-new front end with readily available LED headlights and the company's signature hexagonal grille. However the genuine news is under the hood, which shelters two brand-new 4-cylinder engines– a direct injection 2.0-liter with stop-start technology and a 1.5-liter turbodiesel 4. Both are mated to new 8-speed automatic transmissions, replacing the present 6-speed.
The turbodiesel– Ford calls it EcoBlue– has actually been available in Europe for about a year, however is new to the United States and a very first for this type of vehicle. Ford expects an EPA highway fuel economy rating of 30 mpg for the diesel.
Aside from the highway fuel effectiveness expectation for the turbodiesel, neither power rankings nor full EPA fuel economy projections were revealed at the Chicago debut. The existing 2.5-liter 4-cylinder (169 horsepower, 171 pound-feet of torque) and 6-speed automatic powertrain is rated for 19 mpg city, 27 mpg highway. Although the powertrains are new, load rankings are about the very same– simply over 1,600 pounds payload, 2,000 pounds towing, somewhat lower for the EcoBlue engine.
In addition to interior redesign elements, consisting of new seats, other updates fall under the headings of connectivity and active safety features. New driver-assist features include standard automatic emergency situation braking, with pedestrian detection; the accessibility of adaptive cruise control: Ford's Blind Spot Information System (BLIS): rear cross traffic alert; lane departure warning; and lane-keeping help.
The brand-new control panel includes a 6.5-inch color touch screen and a digital motorist info readout between the significant instruments. Ford's Sync3 infotainment system, wireless charging, and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi modem are basic features.
Offered in 5- and 7-passenger editions, the 2019 Transit Connect Wagon will be provided in 3 trim levels: XL, XLT, and Titanium. Both the Wagon and the Cargo Van versions of the Transit Connect are set up to go on sale in the fall.

[Viewpoint] Something just doesn't feel right
I used to be his fan. I liked his angular face. Most of all, I liked the critical tone as he lashed out "preposterous!" when the weak had been violated by the powerful. He was one of my favorite news presenters of our time.
Anyone over 25 without a criminal record can apply to run in mayoral or gubernatorial elections. Former Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation President Ohm Ki-young, 60, is well qualified to run in the April 27 by-election for the Gangwon governor seat. A recent poll puts him well ahead of other candidates with an approval rating as high as 42.2 percent.
Ohm earlier this week walked into the Grand National Party branch in Chuncheon, Gangwon, and joined the ruling party. Anyone in this country is free to choose a political party. But somehow, something feels not right. Several memories are called up to ignite the rush of adrenaline.
Four producers and a scriptwriter at MBC's investigative news program "PD Diary" were indicted by prosecutors last June on charges of distorting facts and exaggerating the risk of mad cow disease in imported U.S. beef in an episode on the issue in April 2008. Presidential spokesman Lee Dong-kwan after the indictment said the entire executive team would have apologized and stepped down if such a thing happened in foreign countries. Ohm, then president of the nationwide broadcasting network, growled back, "I decide to step down or not and don't take orders from a big gun."
Icy relations between the outspoken veteran reporter and the ruling sector went on. First-term members of the GNP issued a statement a few days later demanding MBC senior executives take responsibility for the damages "PD Diary" caused. But Ohm stood tall and only resigned seven months later. As he left the building, he told the labor union head to be brave and stand up against the government forces trying to use a carrot and stick to tame news broadcasting.
His uprightness and professionalism moved many, inviting seduction from political circles. The main opposition Democratic Party wanted him badly. Politicians frequented his doorsteps for petitions and pleas to lure him to their parties ahead of the local elections in June last year. He politely turned them down every time, telling them that his wish is to be remembered as a journalist. He had been that cool.
But it is hard for a human to fight temptation. Even the late Venerable Beopjeong in his best-selling book "Non-possession" confessed that he was able to let go of the last chain of attachment after he gave away his favorite plant. It goes without saying how desires are difficult to resist to the mundane, especially when they are at hand's reach.
Desire can be tolerated if it is accompanied by conscience and morality. Ohm's mind may have gone through hell as he sat down to write his statement to run as a ruling party candidate. His journalistic instinct would have made him so. His speech read, "I chose the GNP despite my career with MBC because of Gangwon. All possible resources are necessary to resolve the problems and issues in Gangwon. It needs concentrated support from the government and the ruling party. It is why I chose the GNP ticket."
What humbug. He said nothing about why he joined politics in the first place and cowardly used Gangwon residents as his excuse. He would have come across as more honest if he said outright that he was conservative from the beginning.
What words are ready from Ohm for the voters in Gangwon who put 10 candidates from the opposition party in the mayoral and gubernatorial posts in the last election? He said he needs government and ruling party support to solve the regional problems. He has a good chance of being elected governor of Gangwon. But what if the 2012 presidential election results change the ruling party? Upon his words, in order to gain "concerted support from the government and the ruling party for the people of Gangwon," he would have to cross the floor.
The GNP is more pitiful. The lawmakers who rallied and issued statement against Ohm have all turned their heads. In the game of politics, principles and integrity must be easy giveaways. The 44.2 percent approval rating comes from Ohm's aura of empathy and connection with the people. The number may shrivel away if he loses such quality.
Politicians are abhorred not because they are bad people, but because of their penchant for vulgarity and tricks. Politics are often a mud fight. Ohm's joining the circus is indeed - to use his own favorite commentary - "preposterous."

Nigel Evans slams Lancashire's Labour MPs attempt to derail Brexit
Thursday, 4 April, 2019
Nigel Evans, MP for the Ribble Valley, has slammed Lancashire's labour MP's who all voted in favour of the Cooper-Letwin bill to pass through the Commons last night. The bill, which gives parliament the right to force the Prime Minister to ask the EU for an extension of time and the right to dictate how long for, was passed by the House of Commons by 313 to 312 votes in a night that saw the first tied vote for 26 years.
The Cooper-Letwin bill will now be passed to the House of Lords for debate, who can amend its content or delay its passage. All of Lancashire's Labour MP's apart from Rosie Cooper, MP for West Lancashire, voted in favour of the bill yesterday evening.
Speaking from Westminster, Mr Evans said:
"Leave-voting Lancashire has been truly let down by its Labour representatives, who voted overwhelmingly to frustrate, delay and potentially stop Brexit last night. Blackpool voted 67.5% leave but Gordon Marsden voted to dilute Brexit, as did Graham Jones and Julie Cooper whose constituencies both voted over 66% to leave. It is clear they are on a campaign to stop Brexit, a campaign that is clearly against the will of their own electorate."
"The MPs who have voted for the Cooper-Letwin bill voted in the same lobby as a tagged prisoner to take a no-deal scenario off the table, it is quite obvious that the possibility of a no-deal was the only card we had left on the negotiating table, and that has now gone. There is a feeling amongst remain MPs that those who voted to leave the EU are 'thick' or that they didn't know what they were voting for, which is very condescending – Lancashire's MP's should be sticking up for their constituents, rather than repeatedly trying to stop the Brexit they voted for."
"I am sure Labour MP's will feel the full effect of their betrayal to their constituents at the ballot box next election."


How to convert and sanitise your swimming pool with bromine.
These are quick instructions. For further details, click on the links or see the glossary below.
PLEASE NOTE - All dosages given are for 50,000 litre pools. For other sizes simply pro rata the dosage. The objective to to establish and maintain a bromine bank of at least 80 ppm.
Anything up to 1,000 ppm is acceptable with cost being the only consideration.
Less than 25 ppm - it simply will not work. So better the err on on high side.
VERY IMPORTANT: Some types of pH test (Phenol Red) do not work properly with bromide and serious errors could occur if this is not correctly understood.
STARTING OUT - with new water or converting an existing pool to Bromine the Bromine Bank has to be establish. It is always best to do this early in the year, when the water is cool and not a lot of bathing going on. For some reason, that I have not been able to establish, there is always a high oxidant (chlorine or monopersulphate) demand when the bromine bank is first established or increased.
1. Check the total alkalinity and balance the water.
2. Hoover and backwash thoroughly.
3. Add 4.0 Kgs Bromine Salt (Sodium Bromide) into the skimmer, with the filter running on "Circulation" and wait 10 minutes for it to disperse throughout the pool.
4. Shock to 12 ppm. Best with liquid chlorine (Sodium Hypochlorite).
5. After 24 hours: Test for Total Bromine with a DPD test kit. If this is less than 4 (2 on the Chlorine scale) then shock again and continue shocking until you get a result.
6. Maintain the pool in the normal way by adding oxidants (chlorine product or monopersulphate) to achieve the required sanitizer level, pH and total alkalinity but monitor the pool every 2/3 days until it has settled down.
If the sanitizer should disappear then shock again. Don't waste money on trichlor or monopersulphate, liquid chlorine is much cheaper.
Thereafter you only need to maintain the bromine bank annually and add sufficient sodium bromine to make up for water loss. This is a lot less than you would think because evaporation does not count as water loss - only backwashing and splashing out. As long as the pool does not leak then this is only around 25%.
There is no test for bromine bank outside of a labaratory. However, best not to worry, you either have a leak (in which case it is best to start over every spring), or you don't have a leak and it is safe to assume 25% water loss.
EARLY SPRING (March/April) - Maintain the Bromine Bank exactly as above but just add 2.0 Kgs of Sodium Bromide.
The frequency of these visits obviously varies but should not be less than every 14 days from November to April and at least every week during the Summer or whilst the pool is in use.
1. Adjust the Free Bromine Level.
2. Check and adjust the pH to 7.6 to 8.0. If large variances are noticed then check and adjust the total alkalinity.
3. Observe the water quality and shock if necessary. Shocking is only likely to be necessary if there has been exceptional bather lead, bather abuse or a fault with the purification plant.
This at is really all you need to do! More details of the different tasks are provided in the glossary below.
Bromine Bank: The amount of Bromine Ion that is available in the water. This is introduced by adding Bromine Salt (Sodium Bromide) to the water to provide at least 80 ppm. There is no upper limit.
Bromine Chemistry: When chlorine is added to water in any form (gas, liquid or solid) Hypochlorous Acid is formed - this is the chlorine sanitizer. If sufficient Bromine Ion is present then Hypobromous Acid is formed - this is the bromine sanitizer. The chlorine disappears from the water after oxidising the bromine.
Bromine can also be oxidised with monopersulphate ot hydrogen peroxide.
When the bromine sanitizer has done its work the Bromine Ion returns to the water for re-use.
Bromamines: Bromine sanitizer reacts with bather waste to form bromamines. These are as good a sanitizer as the bromine itself. They have hardly any odour and have no harmful effect on eyes or skin.
Chloromines: Chlorine sanitizer reacts with bather waste to form cloramines, which are undesirable in pool water because they cause stinging eyes and skin and an unpleasant chlorine odour.
Chloramines should be removed by shocking as soon as more than 0.05 ppm have formed.
Phenol Red: A chemical used to test the pH of pool water. The colour changes from strong yellow (pH 6.8 - Acidic), through shades of orange to strong pink (pH 8.2 Basic). The actual pH is read off against a colour comparator supplied with the test kit.
Phenol red is affected by bromine sanitizer and shows a purple/brown colour, making the test colour completely false. The real danger however is that, if the tester is unaware of this, the test could be interpreted as very high pH when it is in fact very low. Thereafter the addition of pH-minus chemicals could have disastrous consequences.
There are various solutions: Some test kits are specially prepared for this or 2 drops of sodium thiosulfate can be added to the test water prior to the addition of the phenol red.
Whenever a pH anomaly is noticed, the best practice is always to do Total Alkalinity test before adding chemical to adjust the pH.
Total Alkalinity and Water Balancing - Correct water balancing is a "trade off" between Calcium Hardness, Total Alkalinity and pH. A perfect, but rather complicated, test of properly balanced water is provided by using the Langlier Index but there is little need to resort to this unless a serious anomaly is noticed.
The whole objective is to achieve a water balance that is neither acidic (corrosive) not heavily scale-forming and with a stable pH within the recommended range which, in the case of Bromine can be between 7.6 and 8.0.
Costa Blanca water generally has Calcium Hardness within the correct range. This can be ignored as long as there is no serious anomaly. However it should be noted that there would be a real problem if the pool is filled via a water softener as these remove all dissolved calcium and it has to be put back.
Which leaves us with just total alkalinity and pH with the latter being the dominating factor.
a) Costa Blanca water generally has a high TA (around 180).
b) TriChlor (tablets and granules) are acids and cause the TA to reduce. Consequently, during warm weather and heavy use the TA will fall. Over a whole year there would probably be a gradually drift downwards.
c) The recommended TA is between 80 and 120. However cyanuric acid distorts the test and 30% of the CYA has to be deducted from the actual test reading. With high CYA (say) 300 ppm a proper TA balance becomes impossible because this would mean 170 to 210, which could result in a pH of well over 8.2.
Therefore we have the trade-off between TA and pH and the optimum TA is the level at which the pH is stable within the correct range.
Adjusting the pH/TA - is just a question of understanding the different pH-plus and pH-minus chemicals.
I recommend using the Taylor test kit because this comes with charts for product amounts for different size pools.
To lower the pH with little affect on the TA: Trickle Sulfumant (Muratic Acid) very slowly in the return-jet stream so that the product is slowly dissipated throughout the pool.
To lower the pH and the TA: Pour the Sulfumant slowly into a single column in the deep end with the pump off and wait 30 minutes before starting it up.
To raise the pH with little affect to the TA: Use Soda Ash (Sodium Carbonate).
To raise the pH and the TA: Use Baking Soda (Sodium Carbonate).
For general, practical purposes you should never need Carbonate in Costa Blanca and slight adjustments to the pH with Bicarbonate will usually take care of the TA as well over long periods.
High pH with low TA, usually also turbid (or even green) water. A real head-banger to deal with? Not really, you probably just have a lot of alkaline debris, which can easily happen if there has been bather abuse or neglect.
The low TA is the real indicator. Get the bathers out of the water and do a heavy shock before anything, you would probably find that the pH falls dramatically and then you'll know exactly what to do.
NB: If the pH is around, or over 8.0 a chlorine shock will have little effect so the have to get that down, before you add the shock, and adjust the TA after the water clean-up.
Cyanuric Acid: When TriChlor is dissolved in water Hypochlorous Acid and Cyanuric Acid (CNOH)3 are produced. The Cyanuric Acid (CYA) acts as a stabiliser and, without the CYA, the chlorine would disappear quickly from the water, especially in strong sunlight - but a real problem can occur if there is too much!
What happens is that "normal" chlorine levels cease to work properly, more and more TriChlor is required (adding more and more CYA) until there is so much that the chlorine "locks-up" completely.
The correct way to use TriChlor means regular shocking with liquid chlorine or monopersulphate (neither contain CYA) and by draining part of the water each year to keep the level between 30 and 50 ppm.
The real problem here is that water is expensive as well as the extra visits required by a professional pool technician. Bromine is not affected by CYA.

Pleasantville | Best-Selling African American Books!
From Attica Locke, a writer and producer of FOX's Empire, this sophisticated thriller sees lawyer Jay Porter—hero of her bestseller Black Water Rising—return to fight one last case, only to become embroiled in a dangerous game of shadowy politics and a witness to how far those in power are willing to go to win.
Fifteen years after his career-defining case against Cole Oil, Jay Porter is broke and tired. That victory might have won the environmental lawyer fame, but thanks to a string of appeals, he hasn't seen a dime. His latest case—representing Pleasantville in the wake of a chemical fire—is dragging on, shaking his confidence and raising doubts about him within this upwardly mobile black community on Houston's north side. Though Jay still believes in doing what's right, he is done fighting other people's battles. Once he has his piece of the settlement, the single father is going to devote himself to what matters most—his children.
His plans are abruptly derailed when a female campaign volunteer vanishes on the night of Houston's mayoral election, throwing an already contentious campaign into chaos. The accused is none other than the nephew and campaign manager of one of the leading candidates—a scion of a prominent Houston family headed by the formidable Sam Hathorne. Despite all the signs suggesting that his client is guilty—and his own misgivings—Jay can't refuse when a man as wealthy and connected as Sam asks him to head up the defense. Not if he wants that new life with his kids. But he has to win.
Plunging into a shadowy world of ambitious enemies and treacherous allies armed with money, lies, and secrets, Jay reluctantly takes on his first murder trial—a case that will put him and his client, and an entire political process, on trial.
