Last night an unwelcome visitor climbed through my bedroom window. I heard a rustling noise, and spotted a long tail disappearing behind a pile of books.
'There's a rat in the room,' I said, but my wife would not believe me. And who could blame her? Our flat may be in a basement, but it's clean. And our leafy street lies in one of the more expensive parts of North London – not some grim alleyway. This is not the Middle Ages, and our neighbours, as a general rule, do not empty slops into the street from second-floor windows.
But I was right. I proved it by hunting down the rat in a corner of the room. It shuffled about in shadow among the cables of my computer.The contrast between this creature from fairy tales and my late-20th century techno hardware was startling, but this was no time for metaphysics. It was already past 1.00am – I needed sleep – and the rat had taken refuge in the most inconvenient place imaginable. The window through which it had entered, some four feet from the floor, could hardly provide an exit.
I'm no Pied Piper – I possess no musical instruments – so the chances of encouraging this rat from beneath the table – and across the room to the hallway, through to the living room, then the hall, and out of the front door, then up the stairs and into the street – seemed minuscule.
I would have to kill it.
I had no idea, at that time, what dangers I faced. Subsequently I have learned that rats carry as many as 14 dangerous diseases. Two out of three rats carry cryptosporydium (a cause of gastroenteritis); only slightly less common are salmonella, listeria (which causes septicaemia), toxoplasmosis (blindness), yersina (a relative of the bubonic plague), Q fever, Hantaan fever, and the lethal Weil's disease.
And though most of us don't see them often, there really are lots of rats. A female is capable of producing ten-strong litters, ten times a year. Recent estimates put the national rat-count at 60 million. And nor are they confined to sewers. In my area, both Hampstead Heath and Waterlow Park have become badly infested thanks to the warm winter and the great availability of tasty rubbish.Pest control officers – such as the one who visited this morning to reassure us that our rat was most probably a lone scout – go into action wearing heavy protection. They have at their disposal air-guns, portable gas-chambers, poisons and even "glue boards" (to which incautious rats can become terminally affixed).
My own kit was less impressive. I wore a T-shirt and boxer shorts. My weapons were a broomstick and a beach-towel.
Poking about beneath the computer table, I managed a direct hit. The rat squealed, then darted behind the central processing unit. Holding up my towel like a gladiator's net, I stole forward to peek over the top. My foe, I discovered, was about the size of a small pigeon. Its fur was brown, and mangy. It stared back at me with black, unblinking eyes – squealed hoarsely – then dashed under the printer.
For half an hour, I kept jabbing. At one point, the rat became extremely angry, and sank its teeth into the broom. But it showed no sign of coming out. Harriet, by now rather bored, suggested calling in experts and started flicking through Yellow Pages in search of 24-hour hotlines. But each call proved unsatisfactory. Most were unanswered, and a woman representing Rentokil could not say for certain when her man would be available. It might be a couple of hours – maybe more. And the price she quoted was of such magnitude that I wondered if we'd be able to afford a holiday this year.
So I kept jabbing, more forcefully than ever. The rat, in an access of desperation, rushed towards the window and scrabbled ineffectually at the smooth wall. And then it charged directly towards me.
This was my big chance. I lifted the towel, but at the sight of this danger the rat emitted a powerful squeak, baring its incisors and leaping a good foot off the floor. I flinched – producing a shameful squeak of my own – and realised immediately that I was incapable of killing anything.
But I wasn't altogether downcast. I had not failed to notice the rat's attempt to reach the window. Perhaps, I wondered, we could work together?
And so it was that, with encouragement from my broom, the rat scaled the cables to the top of the computer table. Sniffing and blinking frantically, it paused to consider leaping across to the window sill. I didn't fancy its chances. So, using the angle-poise lamp, I created a bridge for it to cross.
But as the rat reached the metal elbow, its weight caused the lamp to droop – and it dropped heavily to the floor.We couldn't give up. With Harriet's help, I piled up a chair, a bin and an old handbag beneath the window. Then I trailed the towel over this ad hoc climbing frame.
According to convention – established by cartoonists and sit-coms – confrontations between humans and rodents always involve a human climbing on top of a chair. This time the roles were reversed.Having reached the top of the chair, then the bin, and the handbag, the rat was obliged to grapple with the beach towel. I gave it a couple of seconds, to be sure it was holding tight, then – hop! – I yanked both towel and rat together into the garden outside. Briefly stunned, it sat blinking and sniffing among the folds of cloth – then ran off into the night.
At 4.00am, we were ready for bed. We did not leave the windows open.


Google Adsense is the most common and widely used Ad Network for content-based sites which is most widely used by publishers.
Adsense is a program run by Google Network for content sites to serve automatic text ads, image-based and video or interactive media advertisements to their targeted audience.
I've added 12 strategies those will help you get Google Adsense approval very quick you if you are following things exactly fine.
Before getting started you make sure you are following all the 11 points before you apply for Google Adsense.
The first thing you must be doing is to choose your blog or website name and other things like domain and etc… After that, you will need a custom domain for hosting things up.
It's the main part after you have chosen the name for your website as a domain name. Now the difference between custom domain and subdomains is that on the custom domain you get your own representative address like yourwebsite.com on subdomains you get something like this (yourwebsite.blogspot.com or yourwebsite.wordpress.com).
The thing is when you apply on a custom domain for Google Adsense they give a priority to check custom domains first. So it's better to choose a custom domain and apply for Google Adsense.
Now here we are also talking about official emails it's because Google needs to recognize you, you are doing things officially. It's not just a blog where you are copying and pasting. You need to create an environment to let your visitors contact you.
You are at the second point if you take a look back then you have already hosted your website or a blog on a custom domain. Now after that, the highest priority task is content, without having a content no one is going to visit your website and nobody is going to get interacted with it.
So it's necessary and highest priority task. But It doesn't mean that you copy content from someone else's site and have it on your blog. That's is the biggest mistake newbies make. If you are doing that then never ever expect for Google Adsense approval. In that case scenery, you have to find Alternative solutions for Google Adsense.
You must have a content-length between 1200+ words to 2500+ words below that Google will indicate it as a thin content and that gonna give you pain in a ***.
At least post 30+ to 50+ articles if you are in countries like Nepal, India, Srilanka, Bhutan. Below that criteria will also get approval but you have to work really hard for that.
Now important pages mean we are talking all about professional content. You have created your blog but you don't have any trustable base for subscribing your website or making sure that you are not a robot so these pages are required before you apply for Google Adsense.
Hi, I check your blogs daily. Your writing style is witty, keep it up!

Павел Иванович Вальден (Пауль Вальден, , ; 14 (26) июля 1863 года, Розулская волость, Лифляндская губерния Российской империи — 22 января 1957 года, Гаммертинген, Германия) — русский, латвийский, немецкий химик, историк науки, профессор Рижского Политехнического института (1894—1918), ординарный академик Петербургской Академии Наук (с 1910 года), иностранный почётный член АН СССР (1927). Труды по электрохимии растворов, оптической изомерии (открыл т. н. вальденовское обращение), истории химии.

Начало жизни
Вальден родился в Розулской волости Лифляндской губернии (ныне Латвия) в большой крестьянской семье. В возрасте четырёх лет он потерял отца, а позже и мать. Благодаря финансовой поддержке двух его старших братьев, которые жили в Риге  (один был купцом, а другой служил и имел звание лейтенанта), Вальден сумел завершить своё образование — сначала с отличием окончил уездное училище в городе Цесис (1876), а затем и Рижскую техническую школу (1882). В декабре 1882 года он поступил в Рижское политехническое училище и серьёзно заинтересовался химией. В 1886 году он опубликовал свои первые научные исследования по цветным  реакциям азотной и азотистой кислоты с различными реагентами и установлению пределов чувствительности цветного метода обнаружения азотной кислоты. В апреле 1887 года он был  избран членом Русского физико-химического общества. В это время Вальден начал сотрудничество с Вильгельмом Оствальдом  (лауреатом Нобелевской премии по химии 1909), что значительно повлияло на его развитие как ученого. Их первая совместная работа была опубликована в 1887 году и посвящена  зависимости электропроводности водных растворов солей от их молекулярной массы.

Профессиональная деятельность (химия)

В 1888 году Вальден окончил университет со степенью в области химической технологии и продолжал работать на химическом факультете в качестве ассистента профессора С. Бишофа. Под его руководством Вальден начал составлять «Руководство по стереохимии», которое было опубликовано в 1894 году. В ходе подготовки этого издания Вальденом были выполнены многочисленные химические синтезы и описания, в результате которых только по стереохимии появились 57 журнальных статей, опубликованных в период между 1889 и 1900 годами в русских и иностранных журналах. Он также продолжал свои исследования в области физической химии, установив в 1889 году, что ионизирующая способность неводных растворителей прямо пропорциональна диэлектрической постоянной. Во время летних каникул 1890 года и 1891 года Вальден посетил Оствальда в Лейпцигском университете, а в сентябре 1891 защитил там магистерскую диссертацию «О величинах сродства некоторых органических кислот». Оствальд предложил ему остаться в Лейпциге в качестве приват-доцента, но Вальден отказался, надеясь на более успешную карьеру в Риге.

Летом 1892 года он был назначен доцентом кафедры физической химии. Через год защитил докторскую по осмотическим явлениям в осадочных плёнках, и в сентябре 1894 года стал профессором аналитической и физической химии в Рижском политехникуме. Он проработал там до 1911 года, в 1902—1905 годах занимал пост ректора университета. В 1895 году Вальден сделал своё самое знаменитое и важное открытие, которое позже назвали Вальденовское обращение, состоящее  в том, что различные стереоизомеры одного химического соединения могут быть получены друг из друга с помощью последовательных реакций обмена. Сам П. Вальден изучал превращения L- и D-яблочной кислоты при последовательном воздействии пентахлорида фосфора в эфире и влажной окиси серебра. Эта тема легла в основу его докторской диссертации, защищённой в марте 1899 года в Санкт-Петербургском университете.

После этого Вальден заинтересовался электрохимией неводных растворов. В 1902 году он предложил теорию автодиссоциации неорганических и органических растворителей. В 1905 году обнаружил связь между удельной проводимостью и вязкостью в жидких электролитах; в 1906 году ввёл термин «сольватация». Вместе со стереохимическими работами эти результаты принесли ему известность, в частности, он номинировался на Нобелевскую премию по химии в 1913 и 1914 годах.

Вальден был также известен как талантливый преподаватель химии. В своих мемуарах он писал: «Моя аудитория обычно бывает переполнена, и благожелательная реакция слушателей дает мне силы… в моих лекциях я импровизировал, чтобы привнести свежесть в изложение… Я никогда не считал преподавание бременем».

1896 год принёс реформы в Рижский технический университет. Если прежде всё преподавание велось на немецком и Вальден был единственным профессором, который давал некоторые курсы на русском языке, то с 1896 года русский получил статус официального языка. Это позволило получить субсидии от правительства России и помощь для выпускников в получении позиции  в России. Эти реформы привели к довольно необычному сотрудничеству Вальдена с Оствальдом: Вальден взялся за перестройку химического факультета, и Оствальд прислал чертежи Лейпцигской химической лаборатории в качестве примера. В мае 1910 года Вальден был избран членом Петербургской Академии наук и в 1911-м приглашён в Санкт-Петербург, чтобы возглавить Химическую лабораторию академии, основанную в 1748 году Михаилом Ломоносовым. Он оставался в этой должности до 1919 года. В порядке исключения ему разрешили остаться в Риге, где у него были лучшие возможности для исследований, но почти каждую неделю он ездил на поезде в Санкт-Петербург на Академические собрания и для руководства исследованиями. В 1911—1915 годах Вальденом опубликовано 14 статей в «Известиях Академии наук» по электрохимии неводных растворов. В частности, в 1914 году Пауль Вальден получил первую ионную жидкость с температурой плавления ниже комнатной — нитрат этиламмония (C2H5)NH+NO3-, который имеет температуру плавления 12 °C,

После 1915 года из-за трудностей, связанных с Первой мировой войной, политическими беспорядками в России, а затем Октябрьской революцией, Вальден сократил свою научно-исследовательскую деятельность и сосредоточился на преподавании и административной работе, занимая ведущие позиции в науке. Из-за политических волнений в Латвии Вальден с семьёй эмигрировал в Германию. Здесь он был назначен профессором неорганической химии в Университете Ро́стока, где работал до выхода на пенсию в 1934 году. В 1924 году Вальдена пригласили в Ригу, где он выступил с серией лекций. Ему предлагали ведущие позиции в области химии в Риге и в Ленинграде, но он отказался. Несмотря на эмиграцию, Вальден сохранил популярность в России, и в 1927 был избран иностранным членом Академии наук СССР. Позднее он также стал членом Шведской (1928) и Финской (1932) академий.

Последний период жизни

На склоне лет Вальден сосредоточился на истории химии и собрал уникальную библиотеку из более чем 10 тысяч томов. Однако и дом, и библиотека были уничтожены во время британской бомбардировки Ростока в 1942 году. Вальден переехал в Берлин, а затем во Франкфурт-на-Майне, где он стал приглашённым профессором истории химии в местном университете. Конец Второй мировой войны он встретил во французской зоне оккупации, отрезанный от Ростокского университета, который находился в советской зоне, и таким образом остался без средств к существованию. Он жил на скромную пенсию, предоставленную немецкими химиками, иногда читал лекции в Тюбингене и писал мемуары. В 1949 году Вальден опубликовал свою самую известную книгу «История химии». Он умер в Гаммертингене (ФРГ) в 1957 году в возрасте  Его мемуары были изданы только в 1974 году.

#Commentary of Alexander Malkov on Poroshenko's initiative to establish Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church
The state policy of Ukraine in the religious field is directed towards the division of Orthodox believers and violates international religious law. Thus, on April 17, Poroshenko addressed the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople with a request to recognize the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church. The Verkhovna Rada will consider a decree to support this appeal tomorrow.
In order to look into the matter, let us consider several sides of the organization of the Orthodox world community. So now there are 14 generally recognized local autocephalous churches and the Orthodox Church in America, recognized only by four other local churches as autocephalous ones. The very concept of "autocephalous Church" in Orthodoxy means that it is independent local (that is, a church that has spread in a certain territory) church, completely administratively independent from other local churches, but at the same time it has liturgical and canonical communion with them.
The exclusion of a church from liturgical communication means breaking off legal relations by the world religious community with it, the refusal of the universal orthodoxy to recognize this church as its own. In terms of Ukrainian realities, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate is the only recognized canonical church in Ukraine.
The story about the provision of Autocephaly to unrecognized Orthodox churches, which are integrated into a whole, in Ukraine (this refers to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyivan Patriarchate, the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church, the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church of canonical and several unrecognized denominations, which declared themselves as Orthodox) started almost two years ago, on June 28, in 2016.
Then, the Plenipotentiary Representative of the local Autocephalous Constantinople Church met with the president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, who delivered him a request, which was supported by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, of these churches.
Despite violations of church law and civil legislation of Ukraine in the sphere of religion, this request of Poroshenko was considered at the Synod of the Constantinople Church, which decided to refer this issue to a certain commission to study.
Two issues should be pointed out. First of all, according to church law, the Synod of Constantinople had no authority to do so and this issue was not within its competence. Second of all, this whole situation violates the norms of Ukrainian civil law, which approves the separation of Church and state and guarantees the non-interference of the state in the affairs of church government.
Based on this and taking into account the subsequent development of events, we can say that Constantinople politely repulsed Poroshenko's request in this manner. After all, there have been no more actions so far on his part, which support the president of Ukraine in his unlawful undertakings.
Thus, on April 17, 2018, the Ukrainian authorities reiterated the need to provide canonical autocephaly to some united Church, composed of many unrecognized Ukrainian Orthodox Churches, without waiting for the decision of the Synod of the Constantinople Church. At the same time, the only one that functions in the legal field and the most numerous church in Ukraine, namely the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, is completely ignored.
Thus, a small proportion of the Orthodox believers in Ukraine, who enter illegal, in terms of church law, religious institutions, tries to obtain autocephaly with the support of the illegal authority as them. Naturally, this violates the Constitution of Ukraine in terms of non-interference of the state in church life and politics. Thus, it may lead to the fact that the Ukrainian government unleashes a new war, a religious one this time.
Alexander Malkov, the DPR People's Council deputy

OAKLAND — A 35-year-old woman was shot Wednesday night while she walked to a store in East Oakland, police said Thursday.
The woman was in stable condition Thursday at a hospital.
The shooting happened about 10:20 p.m. Wednesday in the area of 108th and Bancroft avenues.
The woman told police she was walking to a store when she heard gunfire, possibly from a passing car, and realized she had been shot.
Police at this time do not believe the woman was the intended target as there were other people near where she was shot. No one else was injured.
A motive has not been determined and no arrests have been made.
A Florida man was arrested Friday and charged with threatening to kill East Bay Rep. Eric Swalwell and two other members of Congress.

Q: Adding path to fabric.js group is reversing position or z-index? I'm trying to add paths in a group by id. But it seems to either reversing the positions of the paths or the z-index - like [red,blue,green] goes [green,blue,red]. How do i do this the correct way?
var id_no;
var objList=[];
if (!id_no) { id_no=1; }

canvas.on('path:created',function(e) {
    e.path.id=id_no;
    objList.push(id_no);
    id_no++;
});

$( "#path-group" ).on( "click", function() {
    var group = new fabric.Group();
    canvas.forEachObject(function(o) {
        if (o.id > 0) {
            group.addWithUpdate(o);
            canvas.remove(o);
        }
    });
    canvas.setActiveObject(group);
    canvas.add(group);
  });

A: I think you are just running in to the problem of looping over an array while removing things from that array. When you do that the indexes start changing as you loop over the array and the results is some weird behavior.
So the main part of the solution below id to just get a list of objects that are not just a reference to the internal fabric list of objects which would change if you removed things from it.

window.canvas;

$(function () {

    canvas = window._canvas = new fabric.Canvas('canvas');
    canvas.backgroundColor = '#efefef';
    canvas.isDrawingMode= true;
    canvas.freeDrawingBrush.color = "purple";
    canvas.freeDrawingBrush.width = 10;
    canvas.renderAll();

document.getElementById('colorpicker').addEventListener('click', function (e) {
        canvas.freeDrawingBrush.color = e.target.value;
    });

var id_no;
var objList=[];
if (!id_no) { id_no=0; }

canvas.on('path:created',function(e) {
   id_no++;

 The View from Hell: The Old Ways

Human technology, like organisms themselves, evolved gradually along with human populations to solve problems posed by different environments. Successful technologies solved problems relating to nutrition, group cohesion, securing territory, and surviving the elements, among many others.
It is unlikely that the humans who used and gradually changed technologies throughout the ages were aware of all of the functions of their cultural package - any more than we are aware of all of the functions of our cultural package today. A cultural package would reproduce itself by working well enough to be passed down to another generation of humans. Conservatism among simple societies prevented dangerous innovations from destroying the carefully evolved cultural package, but rare successful innovations would occasionally become part of the cultural package.
Over the past several thousand years, civilization has independently occurred many times. The complexities of civilization have repeatedly added a snowballing load of cultural innovations to human groups, usually resulting in a population explosion and subsequent crash. We are currently likely near a population peak resulting from the greatest innovation snowball the world has ever known.
The cultural packages that were stable at past times did not evolve to maximize human happiness, but rather, like organisms, to maximize their own reproductive capabilities. A small band of happy foragers could expect to be overwhelmed by a cranky but fecund settlement of farmers; hence, in this example, the farmer cultural package would be reproduced more successfully than the forager package. That said, humans themselves evolved in the presence of past successful stable cultural packages (just as we evolved in the presence of prey species and parasites). Cultural packages that were stable for centuries appear to have done a decent job of providing humans with a sense of meaning and a decent level of wellbeing.
Should we go back to the old ways? This is both impossible and undesirable. The further back in time we go, the lower the population density norms evolved to support. It is unlikely that the world's present population could be supported in foraging tribes or even simple farming societies. Not only that, but the evolved cultural packages have largely been interrupted; even if we wanted to instantiate them, we would have a hard time finding out exactly what they were.
Given the search function that past humans used to "find" their cultural packages, it is likely that the cultural packages are local maxima for cultural reproductive success. They are hard-won solutions to complex problems, worked out in the computer of time and human lives; but they are not absolute maxima of anything, and they are not necessarily even local maxima of human wellbeing. Even if we were to go back in time to a pre-civilized society, it is not clear that maintaining existing traditions would be the best way to maximize human wellbeing. It is likely that there are many dimensions along which we could increase human wellbeing at the expense of environment-specific cultural reproduceability.
Fast forward, however, to the present day, in which existing cultures have moved very far away from evolved cultural packages. In what direction have they moved away, and how has this affected human wellbeing?
There are two major directions in which cultural packages have changed: toward those norms and institutions that support greater population density (agriculture, Green Revolution, cities), and toward short-term individual preference as dictated by market economies.
Rich industrialized countries are particularly high in serving short-term individual preference. While these countries have experienced a major reduction in violence over hundreds of years, they also experience new, widespread problems that undermine the very desirability of human life itself. Suicide, for instance, is more prevalent in industrialized countries than homicide. Obesity and depression have both reached epidemic proportions unheard of before the present century. More people live in slums than lived on the entire planet two hundred years ago.
The old ways (evolved cultural patterns) probably did a decent job of meeting the needs of ancestral populations. These old ways would not meet our needs today. But moving away from ancestral norms based on individual short-term preference is not turning out to be a good way to meet our needs. The invisible hand, it seems, is strangling us.
We have indulged our short-term preferences at the expense of healthy bodies, meaningful lives, and stable relationships. This is not an indictment of human willpower: we simply did not evolve the capabilities to resist the temptations provided by modern life.
The old ways are not the answer. Moment-to-moment individual preference is not the answer. Is there an answer?

A paradigm shift is needed. I think we should start by getting rid of all the clocks.
Sister Y August 10, 2012 at 12:30 AM
I like the poetry of this answer. Thank you.
We have gotten a lot of devices without much tradition of successful use of the devices ('cause they're new). Novelties are dangerous without norms - norms are the "common sense" we're missing for environmental novelties, because common sense has not had time to evolve.
I don't think complete abstinence from post-1900 technology would be fun for more than a few days at a time, but DAMN getting rid of the clocks has some power to it. Because it would mean getting rid of industrial time, which is an extreme hardship.
I wonder if anything like our present food production system could function without clocks?
Rowan Wood August 12, 2012 at 12:50 PM
it is interesting to think about how essential clocks are to the organization of all human activities.
ACPhilosopher August 17, 2012 at 10:01 PM
I would love to know how much time I have personally spent sitting in job jail waiting for a set number of minutes to pass before I can go home. I bet the majority of my life has been spent that way, just feeling trapped and miserable and wanting to move forward, but not being able to because the clock says I have to stay put awhile longer.
Srikant August 8, 2012 at 9:30 PM
Is there an answer?
Extinction?
Somewhat agree w/ Sri. Global level event. Asteroid, aliens, quake, flood. Thin the herd; increase cohesiveness.
Of course this is my knee-jerk answer, too. No people is ideal, fewer people would at least increase their value to each other and decrease pressure on resources, giving cohesiveness a chance. Or would violence like in the previous centuries descend on us again? Would that be a better life for the few who are left, after a few generations? Would they still be able to make antibiotics?
But let's say short term. We're all alive now. Lots of our friends and relatives have kids (some of us, even). What should they do about this amazing mismatch between human beings, their environment, and the glittering shreds of the present cultural package?
Jeff M. August 9, 2012 at 1:31 PM
I don't what the answer is, but here is maybe a small ray of hope. Determinism underlies both biological evolution and cultural evolution, but the latter affords more opportunities for human agency to interfere with it. Why? Because it evolves within historical time-frames rather than geological ones. I'm thinking of something that Marvin Harris, the anthropologist, pointed out. Edison could pass on the innovation of the lighbulb to whole world within a couple of generations. Meanwhile, his heritable intelligence has been passed on to just a few individuals.
I like this. Norms and technologies can evolve a hell of a lot faster than genes - which is how we managed to inhabit every miserable island of the world. Even so, the time scale involved is longer than a human lifetime.
We probably want to make faster changes than that. (Like Edison.) But given how complex the design problem is, how do you even approach it?
Misologos August 9, 2012 at 6:51 PM
I'm reminded of Houellebecq's response to an interviewer who asked him whether he was 'right-wing':
"What I think, fundamentally, is that you can't do anything about major societal changes. It may be regrettable that the family unit is disappearing. You could argue that it increases human suffering. But regrettable or not, there's nothing we can do. That's the difference between me and a reactionary. I don't have any interest in turning back the clock because I don't believe it can be done. You can only observe and describe. I've always liked Balzac's very insulting statement that the only purpose of the novel is to show the disasters produced by the changing of values. He's exaggerating in an amusing way. But that's what I do: I show the disasters produced by the liberalization of values."
http://www.theparisreview.org/interviews/6040/the-art-of-fiction-no-206-michel-houellebecq
He's right: the only thing we can do is observe and describe -- and wait for the end.
Making stories is doing something. Abstraction is doing something. I haven't figured out whether those are on balance good for us, but they're irresistible drugs.
making stories is funnest way to spend your time.

Suicide, for instance, is more prevalent in industrialized countries than homicide. Obesity and depression have both reached epidemic proportions unheard of before the present century. More people live in slums than lived on the entire planet two hundred years ago.
I'm a deep pessimist (in the sense that I believe life is ultimately pointless and cruel), but I'm not convinced that things are worse on measure than they were in the past, nor am I persuaded that the apparent evolutionary mismatch you identify portends especially dire consequences (except perhaps in the strict sense that more people means more suffering in toto, but I don't think that's what you're driving at here) for present and future generations.
If suicide is more prevalent than homicide in industrialized countries, it is worth considering whether and how this could reflect the overall decline in violence that correlates with industrialization and emergent affluence. I think we should also consider the extent to which this might follow from greater autonomy that individuals enjoy in a cultural environment that is, by definition, more conducive to productive risk and mobility. It might also be, at least in part, an artifact. Does suicide increase as a population ages?
Obesity is a problem stemming from abundance and relative comfort, even among the poor. We might -- or might not -- agree that it signals an unfortunate turn, if not a crisis, but the evo/cultural mismatch seems like just the sort of thing that can be sorted out over a few generations, perhaps with the aid of pharmaceutical innovations. Besides, food is a source of real gratification for real people who only live once, and I don't think the actuarial effects of an overweight population are obviously worse than the immanent threats faced by those who lived -- or who yet live -- in a more hardscrabble environment.
Depression. Who was even curious about this in the past? Now that we have a word for what we already knew in some inchoate sense, is it worse? I don't know that we know. And what about the upper end of well-being? Do we even log stats on comparative rates of exquisite happiness?
Are we confident that life in modern slums -- maybe think of Dharavi -- is worse, or less hopeless, than pastoral life, when you couldn't sneak into the movies or steal a fresh batch of nan, or dream of one day landing on a different shore? Maybe it is. I'm not convinced.
Look, I know that it's bad. That's how the show is rigged. I'm just not sure it's objectively worse, nor am I sure that our present predicament is characterized by special -- or (relatively) unremediable -- declension. People live and die as they always have, and they look for distractions as they always have. Of course, we have more distractions now, and so maybe we're more confused. That it's bad enough still doesn't mean we've steered ourselves into an evolutionary cul-de-sac. And it doesn't mean that it isn't getting better.
To the extent that I agree with your premise, I think the answer is drugs. Better drugs. Chemistry. Or the asteroid thing.
Stacy August 11, 2012 at 11:14 AM
I agree, Chip. Good comment.
Ann Sterzinger August 11, 2012 at 10:16 AM
Better drugs, and let's clone George R.R. Martin!
You may be surprised, but drugs may not feel they way you expect/hope when you actually try them. I attempted several drugs as of lately. The chemical "happiness" felt fake and mixed with reality like water and oil. I'm disappointed.
Seriously though, lately I've been thinking a lot about an effect of exploding population growth that has nothing to do with logistics, feeding them all, traditional values vs modern... I'm thinking (to put "becoming slowly more and more horrified" nicely) about how important the illusion of meaning is to people's happiness, and how much less each one of us means in the grand scheme of things every time another million babies are born. Yes, we've always been sitting on one of an infinite number of insignificant rocks whirling through the void, but at least when there were only millions on the planet, grouped into smaller chunks that really didn't have much contact with/give a shit about the rest of the societies that made up the planet, people probably didn't individually feel quite so invisible and unwanted and pointless.
I actually think it's quite the opposite. The reason is enhanced communication, and the digitally enhanced illusion of self-importance.
I don't call posting into the inchoate void of the Internet enhanced communication.
Once again, there are just too many people talking. If everyone who reads this blog died tomorrow, .00000000000000000000000000000001% of the human beings currently alive would give a shit. (Approximately.)
But it doesn't feel that way as we send our deep wisdoms into the digital abyss. People love hearing their own voice.
dimasok August 12, 2012 at 1:48 PM
Alternatively, no one would give a shit if humanity just dies
Sister Y August 12, 2012 at 9:24 PM
As Roy Baumeister explains (in Meanings of Life, c. 1991), the sources of meaning previously available to humans have been eroded, and the self has had to take on more and more meaning-providing weight for modern humans. Why self-importance? Where does that come from? That's the interesting question.
Ann Sterzinger August 13, 2012 at 5:28 AM
It's all that's left?
It's not all that's left. There are experiences like sex and flow that can dissolve perception of the self and that are clearly worth having.
I think self-importance flows logically from free-market capitalism (as opposed to collectivism) and digital networking (as opposed to one-way mass media reception). The reason is that the self and its social constructions are the constituent units of these patterns. Markets boils down to decisions of market participants, who are ultimately consent-giving or denying individuals. Digital networks connect selves as nodes, with disposable identities sometimes, in a dynamic swarm-like fashion even, but always from an individualistic first-person perspective - no matter how interconnected, it is always "me" who clicks the "Publish" button. Even democracy, as totalitarian as it can be for minorities, counts the votes of individuals, not collectives.
Rob August 13, 2012 at 10:35 AM
You might appreciate Baumeister's theory of masochism: http://www.jstor.org/stable/3812869

Yes there is an answer. It's called Venus Project/Zeitgeist Movement
You can check it out @:
www.thezeitgeistmovement.com
www.thevenusproject.com
Human condition is that of suffering and misery and I totally agree with what I read on your blog regarding suicide/anti-natalism and I adore people like Schopenhauer, Benatar and Cioran
The solution lies in science and technology. In abolishing capitalism and all other coercive forms of control including money itself, in redesigning all of our values and in changing society using technology.
You could say the best solution is Venus Project+its eventual full realization in something like the Singularity/transhumanistic society
Let's try communism again! Surely, *this* time it will work! With robots! And better moral arguments!
If you bothered to read any of the materials without bias and prejudice you would see that it is nowhere near communism. None of the elements that communism had (except the idealistic ones it always aspired to but never "knew" how to deliver) are present in the system proposed
Mitchell August 13, 2012 at 2:11 AM
If Islamic sharia law said that every city was supposed to be built like the Venus Project says, then it might have a chance of working - or at least of becoming the norm, for a larger section of the globe than 21 acres in Florida - because it would have the conservatism of a civilizational tradition behind it. But right now it's just another brittle utopian rationalist construct, that isn't even getting enough traction anywhere for anyone to start building a second model city. It's civilizational vaporware.
And how is the Venus Project's "resource-based economics" *not* communism? The whole idea seems to be that, instead of anyone owning anything, there's a central inventory of all available resources, which people get to draw upon. Who are the gatekeepers? What happens when the city council or the inventory AI says that you're *not* allowed to draw on the collective resources in order to build your personal castles in the sky?
If Frescograds and Frescovilles suddenly started springing up around the world, don't you think they would contain a similar spectrum of phenomena, to what we already see? One of them might be a little police state run by the local oligarch, another might be a slum with gang warfare (but it's a slum where the favelas were made with 3d printers). And yeah, still another might be a civilized place to live.
Elements of the Venus Project vision may come true in some places, but it is not The Solution to human misery.
This is probably the worst part: That you have One Project with specific details instead of treating solutions as an open idea space whose components can be critically examined independently, recombined, refined or independently discarded.
There's a specific visions with futury-looking buildings, moral "progress" predictions that do not follow from human nature or inevitably from cultural progression, ignorance of basic economic facts, ignorance of how hard it is to get an AI to build a world that humans would value, and finally a lot of waste - have you seen how much space and materials these envisioned cities waste? If I want to live on a tighter, more frugal budget and use the resources more efficiently to support more people like me with less consumption but higher pleasure center stimulation, who has the right to tell us we have to live in a Venus-Project city? Who bans the market that would allow us to buy these resources and implement these alternatives, and by what right?
There's this impulse to have a specific vision of paradise that can brush over all human differences and practical problems, and it has *always* been shortsighted. I see the exact same pattern in the Venus Project and it's ardent defenders.
Very interesting sites. That's the first I've heard of the Venus Project/Zeitgeist Movement. I think it's a good model for a paradigm shift and I admire Jacque Fresco for thinking in such an original and creative way. It's refreshing to see at least one person facing the global economic meltdown squarely, admitting the current systems are hopeless and striking out in a whole new direction.
I don't think the human race can evolve fast enough to embrace something like the Venus Project, though. It would require transcendence of our animal nature, which I don't think is in the cards for most people who are alive today. I think you would need a whole new species of human to make it work, which could only be accomplished in a short time through designer breeding and human cloning.
Otherwise, I predict it will be business as usual until the Earth fries. But don't worry, the apes with the most money are going to fry right along with the rest of us.
I like the concepts shown in the video for the Venus Project, but unless human beings can evolve really quickly, it's probably going to be business as usual until the Earth fries.
Oops! I meant to delete that last paragraph. Unfortunately, I don't think you can delete a post on this blog once you publish it, especially if you post it as Anonymous.

Yes, Anonymous, you can't -- though maybe Sister Y can delete it for you.
We human beings must have [almost?] stopped evolving, because we let even the most "unfit" to breed.
Besides, nature and evolution love only "animal nature", not our transcendence of it. That's why we're all constantly at loggerheads with it.
Lindsay November 24, 2012 at 3:25 PM
"We human beings must have [almost?] stopped evolving, because we let even the most 'unfit' to breed."
No, actually. This ignores the huge amount of natural selection that occurs in the womb.
I think some of the corporate memes need to go, like the one that says we all have to get in our cars and drive to work every day, wasting a huge amount of time, money and energy in the process, and ruining everyone's day with traffic jams and pollution.
How much environmental warming and drought will it take before people are willing to discard this meme? In Indiana, all 92 counties have been declared agricultural disaster areas due to drought.
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505245_162-57494682/all-92-ind-counties-now-farming-disaster-areas/
People can deny global warming all they want, but in Indiana it is very clear the weather is changing. Flower bulbs no longer go dormant because winter temperatures aren't cold enough. Daffodils that used to bloom in the spring now start popping out of the ground in mid-winter. Summer temperatures are hitting triple digits more often, causing people's air conditioners to run almost continuously during the day.
But still, the corporate meme that says we all have to drive a car to work every day is not budging. Many, many jobs could be done remotely from a home office, but inertia keeps the current hamster wheel going around and around with no end in sight. We have the technology to change our way of life dramatically for the better, but for some unknown reason, people are afraid to change.
Sister Y August 17, 2012 at 11:00 PM
To me the best reason commuting needs to go is the direct, measurable suffering it causes people, a la the commuter paradox - the longer your drive, the less happy you are, and it's not made up for by increased earnings.
Sitting alone at home all week is not everybody's cup of tea though.
Multiheaded April 14, 2014 at 1:07 AM
Cultural packages that were stable for centuries appear to have done a decent job of providing humans with a sense of meaning and a decent level of wellbeing.
A year and a half later, you seem to think that it's the inverse way around, right? I certainly do Culture does not so much adapt us for "happiness" (surely there'd be more of it!); a separate memetic process probably makes us redefine "happiness" to fit the culture.
And that's why the cultural conservatism vs. cultural progressivism debate is rather nonsensical: conservatism inevitably has wiser-sounding arguments yet inevitably explains way too much - like what a miserable, individuality-crushing, family-values-lacking, High Modernist hellhole the USSR must've been - even though it absolutely wasn't.

Rosario Dawson Is The New (Lego) Batgirl
Photo credit: Image Collect
Rosario Dawson has always been bragging about how she is a huge fan of Batman and comic books in general, and now she gets to be Batman's girlfriend in the new big screen installment of The Lego animation – "The Lego Batman Movie".
Barbara Gordon
The actress is about to portray the traditional Batgirl, aka Barbara Gordon, the daughter of police commissioner James.
Much like her boyfriend, the main man in the movie, Barbara also enjoys fighting the bad guys and saving her city.
The upcoming Lego Batman movie will, aside from Rosario as the Batgirl, feature Will Arnett and Michael Cera, who are back as Batman and Robin, but the spotlight (if you ask us) will be on the awesome Zach Galifianakis who will make sure The Joker character comes to life properly.
Chris McKay will be in charge of the new Lego Movie spin-off, and we really think he is the right man for the job as he was the animation supervisor, co-director and editor on the original Lego Movie. The new script was written by Seth Grahame-Smith, the guy behind "The Dark Shadows".
The official release date for "The Lego Batman Movie" is February 10, 2017.

CEL : The Profit Making Solar Pioneer PSU Being Sold OFF, Why?
In Clean Facts, Clean News, News, Solar
The employees of the government-owned Central Electronics Limited (CEL) started an indefinite protest demonstration at their factory gate in Sahibabad, Uttar Pradesh.
They are at a loss to understand why government wants to sell the company in spite of it making profit in last five years as per the balance sheets of CEL. According to CEL's balance sheets from the last five years, the company has been increasingly making profits (almost doubling net profits every year since 2013-14) without the help of any immediate revival package from the government.
Set up in 1974, CEL aims to 'commercially exploit the indigenous technologies developed by India's National Laboratories and R&D Institutions' and operates in four verticals – solar energy, railways signalling, defence electronics and integrated security and surveillance.
CEL has played an important role in the electrification of remote and hilly areas where private players are reluctant to go, and also produces sophisticated products like the Phase Control Module (PCM) that is used in missile systems and is of strategic importance for India's security.
In the field of solar energy, which is increasingly attracting interest globally, CEL's products qualify to international standards. It developed India's first solar cell in 1977, first solar panel in 1978 and also commissioned India's first solar plant in 1992.
More recently, it developed and manufactured the first crystalline flexible solar panels specifically for use on passenger train roofs in 2015.
At a time when India could use all the manufacturing and innovation in solar power it can find, why is a state institution that has pioneered it being sold off?"
The officials whom we approached are passing the buck to the NITI Aayog, saying it's the Central government's policy decision.

5G Explained: Uplink Data in 5G NR
Learn about the uplink shared channel chain, which includes elements already found in the downlink shared channel chain including LDPC coding, modulation schemes, layer mapping, and the two types of PUSCH mapping.
The video walks through the significant differences that differentiate the uplink shared channel from the downlink shared channel: the number of layers is limited to 4, there is the possibility of using the optional transform precoding, and MIMO precoding is specified explicitly.
The video outlines the two possible types of MIMO precoding: codebook-based precoding and non-codebook-based precoding.
This is a new episode in our series "5G Explained." In this video, we discuss uplink data transmission in 5G New Radio, where we look at the uplink shared channel chain, which includes LDPC coding; the physical uplink shared channel chain, including the optional transform precoding; and the different types of PDSCH mapping. The uplink shared channel, or UL-SCH, is the channel that carries user data. It has a structure very similar to the downlink shared channel, with CRC, code block segmentation, the use of LDPC, a key difference with LTE, and rate matching.
The output of a coding chain is a codeword. Contrary to the downlink shared channel, it is limited to four layers, which means that uplink transmissions always use a single codeword. The coded data is then mapped to the physical uplink shared channel, or PUSCH. Here you can see how every stage of the uplink shared channel processing is mapped to functions in MathWorks 5G Toolbox. You can recognize CRC encoding, code block segmentation, LDPC coding, and rate matching.
Here again, the chain is similar to the downlink chain, with two notable differences. The first one is the presence of transform precoding, a DFT operation which is what turns OFDM modulation into single carrier OFDM or SC-OFDM, sometimes known by another name, DFT spread OFDM, or DFT-S-OFDM. Transform precoding is optional, which means that the uplink supports both regular OFDM and SC-OFDM.
The second difference is that precoding is specified on the uplink, and we will see it can be of two types. I just mentioned transform precoding is an optional step. SC-FDMA provides lower PAPR, which means that less backoff is needed on the power amplifier. This helps with UEs that are in larger cells or have limited power.
Modulation schemes in the OFDM case are the same as for the downlink, ranging from QPSK to 256QAM. When transform recording is enabled, an additional modulation scheme. Pi/2-BPSK is also available to help with very low SNR transmission in a large cell or with low power.
Layer mapping on the uplink uses the same mechanism as on the downlink, a mechanism that is discussed in another episode of this "5G Explained" series, with one big difference. There can be a maximum of four layers. For that reason, the uplink always includes a single codeword. This single codeword is mapped to n layers, with n between 1 and 4, by mapping input blocks of n input bits to n layers, as shown here.
Precoding is the operation mapping layers' two antenna ports. As mentioned earlier, there are two precoding modes, codebook-based and non-codebook-based precoding. For non-codebook-based precoding, the UE determines the precoding matrix based on measurements it performs on downlink signals, typically the channel state information reference signals.
For codebook-based precoding, the UE simply applies the precoding matrix specified by the gNodeB. Here we have a closer look at the non-codebook-based precoding scheme. This is the mode where the UE makes its own decision about which precoding matrix to use. As just mentioned, the UE determines a suitable precoding matrix from CSI-RS measurements. It then applies the proposed precoding matrix to the SRS, or sounding reference signal. The gNodeB then informs the UE of which subset of the beamforming vectors it can use.
Finally, the UE can apply the selected beamforming vectors to PUSCH transmission. In summary, in that mode, while the UE does propose a precoding matrix, the gNodeB can still veto some of the beamforming vectors, which would reduce the number of layers for transmission. For codebook-based precoding, the gNodeB determines the precoding matrix, based either on downlink measurements for TDD, or an uplink measurement of sounding reference signals.
It then sends the precoding information to the UE in the downlink control message for uplink. And the UE simply looks up the matrix in a series of tables. There are different tables for different number of layers, as well as for transmission with or without transform precoding. The whole process of channel sounding and precoding is described in detail in another episode of this "5G Explained" video series.
PUSCH symbols are mapped to the resource grid using one of two mapping types, A or B. These are the same mapping types as for on the downlink. Mapping A is meant for allocations that start at the beginning of the slot. The demodulation reference signal is then mapped to symbol 2 or 3. Mapping type B is meant for allocations that start partway through the slot, in which case the DM-RS is mapped to the first symbol of the allocation.
This concludes this episode of the "5G Explained" video series on uplink data transmission.

What do you know about Idaho besides potatoes and it's attraction to weird white supremacy groups? Did you know that Boise is actually a totally cool little town where seemingly everyone rides bikes? It's true. It's like a little piece of Holland smack down in the middle of Nowheresville. I once saw a Rod Stewart impersonator/Limo driver just hanging out in front of a bar having a smoke. And he wasn't at all out of place. It's a cool, weird place.
Finn Riggins is from Boise and they're kinda weird and cool too. A collaboration between Cameron Bouiss, Eric Gilbert and Lisa Simpson, the trio met while completing their music degrees at the University of Idaho and have been playing together since 2000. Six years later they ended up in Sun Valley and then three years after that they call Boise home…when they are home. They seem to be on the road all the time with over 200 dates in 2008 alone.
Their new album, Vs. Wilderness is their fourth and if this song is any indication of the what the rest of their catalog holds then it's sure to find a place in the hearts of hipsters with a yen for sea shanties and accordion ballads. The video for "A Whale, A Fish" was shot in an old YMCA with live mics. It's spooky and pretty and lonely…just like Finn Riggins.

Stena Line increase capacity on the Baltic routes
Fri, Nov 25, 2016 14:58 CET
To strengthen its business position in Central Europe and Scandinavia, as well as to serve the growing demand, the company Stena Line now implement a more frequent ferry timetable which is more adapted to client needs and also provides a long-term growth-orientated solution with an additional ferry and focus on two main routes.
"As the demand for the ferry transports is rapidly increasing, we are developing and enhancing our services by modifying our ferry timetables and introducing an additional ferry. We are elaborating a new business concept focusing on Northern Baltic Sea region development, which will strengthen our market position in the Baltic Sea with two main routes to Sweden and Germany", says Erik Thulin, Trade Director Baltic Sea North.
Ventspils will be positioned as the gateway to Scandinavia, thus reinforcing the route Ventspils-Nynäshamn. The ferry Stena Flavia will be permanently redirected to this route, while previously it also operated between Ventspils and Travemünde. Stena Flavia will operate the route together with Scottish Viking. The number of ferry departures will be increased by 30 %. Starting from 3 January 2017, instead of the usual 18 weekly crossings, 24 crossings per week will be available on this route.
The ferry crossing from Ventspils to Travemünde will be redirected to Liepaja. In turn, Liepaja will be the main port connecting Latvia to the western part of Central Europe. An additional ferry will be introduced to this route to Germany, increasing the number of crossings by 25 %. Starting from 3 January 2017, the route will provide eight crossings per week. The route will be operated by Urd and Stena Nordica. Stena Nordica will be taken into operation during spring and until then Stena Gothica, operating Göteborg-Frederikshavn, will be a relief ship. The ferry crossing from Liepaja to Nynäshamn will be transferred to Ventspils.
"The changes in ferry routes and schedules constitute a strategically important step in order to develop and reinforce two large and significant transportation corridors – from Ventspils to Scandinavia and from Liepaja to Central Europe, allowing the us to improve and strengthen our position in different parts of Europe, thus ensuring long-term growth, as well as providing an ever-broader range of services to our customers", says Erik Thulin.
For more information please contact Jesper Waltersson, Press & Media Relations Manager Stena Line, +46 704 85 85 32.
Stena Line is one of Europe's leading ferry companies with 37 vessels and 20 routes in Northern Europe. Stena Line is an important part of the European logistics network and develops new intermodal freight solutions by combining transport by rail, road and sea. Stena Line also plays an important role for tourism in Europe with its extensive passenger operations. The company is family-owned, was founded in 1962 and is headquartered in Gothenburg.

Music Therapy for Loss of Appetite, Nausea and Vomiting
Viola Heckel, Sebastian Weiss
The triad of possible effects of music therapy described in the section on "Artistic Therapies in Oncology"—physiological, mental, spiritual—can also be used to treat gastrointestinal symptoms and diseases. Through direct treatment and relief of physical symptoms, we stimulate an "easier" handling of physical symptoms (psychological aspect) and strengthen the person's inner autonomy beyond the symptoms of their illness (spiritual aspect).
For recurring, non-acute nausea
receptive music therapy, played with pleasant enveloping sounds on an alto lyre—possibly supplemented by humming or singing.
Music with clear rhythmic structures and downward melodic movements let the patient musically feel the ground under his feet again. The volume should not be too expressive, so that the patient is ensured inner space for listening.
If possible,
a sequence with active music therapy can follow, in which the patient interacts with the therapist in a calm, rhythmically flowing dialogue, using a drone lyre.
Here, too, the tone sequences tend to be quiet and lead downwards. Directing the patient's attention towards the active listening process and playing the instrument may be able to steer his body awareness away from the nausea.
Therapeutic singing exercises may also relieve nausea:
Breath-deepening exercises and rhythmic exercises that swing through the abdominal region, e.g., with the resonant sounds "M" and "W", can bring blocked energies back into flow.
Music therapy is not indicated for acute vomiting.
If there is a recurring tendency to vomit,
active listening as part of receptive music therapy can enable the patient to get hold of herself.
Again, as with nausea (see above), fairly quiet music is indicated, calm and slow, and favoring downward tone sequences in its structure.
In active music therapy, deep gong sounds can be played from the surrounding area , followed by cymbal play via a rhythmic gesture of the arms moving between the center and the periphery. This can stimulate a resonant sound experience in the patient. It has a strengthening effect.
It is also possible to counter the tendency to vomit
by listening to deep, bowed tones in connection with experiencing vibration
—e.g., the soles of the patient's feet rest on the body of a tenor chrotta that is being played by the therapist—stimulating the warmth in the patient's body and counteracting the tendency to vomit.

Always very excited to be be invited to get an early read of a Rachel Abbott book, I was delighted when I was asked to be on the blog tour of her latest psychological thriller The Shape of Lies.
Yesterday, Scott was dead. Today he's back. And Anna doesn't believe in ghosts!
Rachel Abbott has done it again.
Within seconds of starting this book, I very quickly became totally immersed back into the world of Tom Douglas and his investigations. Action packed full of secrets and lies, mystery and intrigue, this is a brilliant addition to a series that just gets stronger and stronger with each new release.
If you've never started this series, then you really are missing a brilliant reading marathon. There's a tiny bit of me, that wishes I'd never started it so I could enjoy it all over again. I highly recommend that you go right back to the start and read every one in order. There are 8 books and you won't regret getting started on this series. It's purely brilliant!
After a very traumatic time in her youth, Anna started a new life and eventually married and became a reputable head teacher and a pillar of the community, on the outside! When she hears something on the radio, there's a huge possibility that Scott, who was huge part of her past, who she thought was dead, is actually alive and things start happening threatening to expose her life, and she has just one week to find out the truth.
This is such a gripping and compulsive read with so many twists and turns along the way, that just kept on hitting me from all angles and from places that you really never expected and OMG the end of the book shocked me to the core and left me gagging for more!
I really enjoy reading about Tom and his sidekick Becky and getting more of an insight into their lives, which unfold in each book. The books would make SUCH a brilliant and compelling TV series and I think I read it a lot with that in mind with the behind the scenes stories just as strong as the main plot and I can picture it all so well in my mind.
Rachel Abbott's writing is so strong, and awesome that she is one author that I would drop everything for, to read her latest book. Such a talented lady who shares her gift for writing with her audience so brilliantly.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Can you tell?
