2021's Must-Read YA Novels According to YA Authors
by Kelly Gallucci
Looking for your next young adult read? Let the experts help you out! YA authors are also voracious YA readers, and they know the genre inside and out. I always trust their recommendations, which is why I asked 13 of them to share the one YA novel they recommend readers pick up in 2021. Check out their picks and share your 2021 YA TBR in the comments!
Instructions for Dancing by Nicola Yoon
"I read Everything, Everything in one sitting and I savored The Sun Is Also a Star because I didn't want it to end. I have been patiently waiting YEARS for another Nicola Yoon, and I'm so hyped for Instructions for Dancing. It's a romance about a girl named Evie, who has suddenly gained the power to see how love stories between couples begin and end. Even without that power, I already know I'm gonna love this book from start to finish." —Adam Silvera, author of Infinity Reaper
All of Us Villains by Amanda Foody, Christine Lynn Herman
"A book coming out this year that I think should be on everyone's radar is All of Us Villains by Amanda Foody and Christine Lynn Herman. I was lucky enough to read an early version, and I was absolutely enthralled by this story of feuding families amid a brutal competition with a fascinating magic system at its core. For those who love magic, flawed characters, and darker fantasy, this is for you!" —Tara Sim, author of Ravage the Dark
The Marvelous by Claire Kann
"If you don't have The Marvelous by Claire Kann on your TBR, what are you even doing? It's Willy Wonka meets TikTok—what more could you want? Jewel, the reclusive heiress at the heart of the story, is fascinating and mysterious, and all six contestants had me cheering for them. They were all compelling in different ways, all of them with a very good reason why they deserved to win. The puzzles kept me guessing the whole time, and the writing—Claire Kann's words are so refreshing and brilliant. You won't be disappointed." —Brittney Morris, author of The Cost of Knowing
Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim
"Lim is a master of the fairy tale retelling, melding Asian myth and culture with Grimm's fairy tales, and as a lover of both, I cannot wait for her next book. Filled with forbidden magic, a jealous sorceress, and a banished princess whose six brothers were turned into cranes as a threat to keep her silent, I am so excited for Six Crimson Cranes to fly into my hands this summer!" —Heidi Heilig, author of On This Unworthy Scaffold
How We Fall Apart by Katie Zhao
"While I'm drafting rom-coms, I like to shift gears and only read mysteries and thrillers. When I heard Katie Zhao was coming out with a YA thriller described as Crazy Rich Asians meets One of Us is Lying—with secrets, lies, betrayals, and murder at an elite prep school—how could I not be excited about this novel? Overachieving Asian Americans are the primary characters in How We Fall Apart and I'm 100% sold on this dark academia book. Take my money please." —Suzanne Park, author of Sunny Song Will Never Be Famous
Fifteen Hundred Miles from the Sun by Jonny Garza Villa
"Fifteen Hundred Miles from the Sun by Jonny Garza Villa is exactly the kind of book that made me a reader, that keeps me up reading until the wee hours of the night, and that also inspires me to write fun, hopeful, sweet stories for young readers. When Julián accidentally outs himself, he thinks everything he's worked for is ruined. Little does he know that this is his big chance to finally be who he's meant to be. Full of heart and vulnerability, it had me cheering for the main character and swooning for the sweet romance. This story is poised to become one of the summer's must-reads!" —Yamile Saied Méndez, author of Furia
The City Beautiful by Aden Polydoros
"I can't wait for more people to read The City Beautiful by Aden Polydoros and fall under its dark and deadly spell. It's part murder mystery, part supernatural thriller, part queer love story, and part narrative of Eastern European Jewish immigrants at the turn of the 19th century, which is just unlike anything I've ever read before. It's so close to my roots and my heart and I feel genuinely grateful that it'll be in the world." —Dahlia Adler, author of Cool for the Summer
Somewhere Between Bitter and Sweet by Laekan Zea Kemp
"I can't wait to read Somewhere Between Bitter and Sweet by Laekan Zea Kemp, which comes out on April 6. I've had the fortune of reading the first chapter and I'm already hooked! It's told from the dual perspectives of Pen and Xander, who meet while working at Pen's father's restaurant and connect over their shared love of food. There is so much this story has that I'm eager to explore: love, family, mental health struggles, that complicated time just after high school, and Mexican and Chicanx identity, and delicious food. April can't arrive soon enough!" —Crystal Maldonado, author of Fat Chance, Charlie Vega
Lucky Girl by Jamie Pacton
"Jamie Pacton's Lucky Girl begins with the life-changing news that 17-year-old Fortuna Jane Belleweather has just won more than $58 million in the lottery. The problem is, because she's still a minor, she can't claim her winnings and her mother can't be trusted not to spend it on the sentimental items she's started hoarding since her husband died. This emotionally complex book is a gorgeous portrayal of small-town life, complicated family relationships, mental health, grief, and friendship that will make you question the concept of 'good luck.'" —Lizzy Mason, author of Between the Bliss and Me
Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating by Adiba Jaigirdar
"I read an early copy of Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating by Adiba Jaigirdar and it is now one of my favorite books of all time. Readers are in for a treat in May! If you love To All The Boys I've Loved Before or Sandhya Menon's work then this book will bring you so much joy. It is queer, it has fake dating, and it is so wonderful." —Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé, author of Ace of Spades
Bad Witch Burning by Jessica Lewis
"Everyone should add Bad Witch Burning to their TBR right now! It's a chilling, urban fantasy with light horror elements about a Black teen with a lucrative hustle: talking to the dead. But when she accidentally raises one, she realizes that's worth a lot more money. But the dead don't like being alive again, and Katrell may be the one to pay the price. Lewis has penned a dark and daring portrait of a teen fighting for a place in a world that's set them up to fail." —J.Elle, author of Wings of Ebony
Indivisible by Daniel Aleman
"Mateo Garcia is living a different kind of YA book entirely at the start of Daniel Aleman's debut Indivisible. He's trying to nail his big audition. He's navigating his feelings about his best friend, Adam. From the beginning, you'd think the story might lead to a charming romantic storyline where the hero's biggest problem is his first kiss. That's when a nightmare consumes his life, in the form of his parents being snatched away by immigration. Aleman's gift as a writer is not only in telling this urgent story, but in cruelly, necessarily showing you the life Mateo had interrupted." —Adam Sass, author of Surrender Your Sons
Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao
"My most-anticipated book of 2021 is Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao. I loved Neon Genesis Evangelion and Pacific Rim, and it sounds like this story is going to be right in that sweet spot for me. I love big, high-stakes stories and can't wait to dive into this one. It's always fun to see how an author takes historical references and weaves them into an imaginative sci-fi world. According to the author, the story features a f/m/m poly relationship and I'm also deeply here for that, especially since I'm writing that relationship dynamic in a current WIP." —Maria Ingrande Mora, author of Fragile Remedy

Nightwatch on the Hinterlands
K. Eason
Next: Nightwatch Over Windscar
Set in the universe of How Rory Thorne Destroyed the Multiverse, this new sci-fi mystery follows an unlikely duo who must discover the motive behind an unusual murder.
The War That Ripped The Multiverse. Generations ago, a massive war tore a hole in the multiverse. Now extraplanar monsters surge out of the Weep at irregular intervals along its jagged border, held back by an alliance of templars and arithmancers, soldiers and priests.
The templar. When Lieutenant Iari hears screams in the night, she expects to interrupt a robbery or break up a fight. Instead, she discovers a murder with an impossible suspect: a riev, one of the battle-mecha decommissioned after the end of the last surge, repurposed for manual labor. Riev don't kill people. And yet, clearly, one has. Iari sets out to find it.
The spy. Officially, Gaer is an ambassador from the vakari Five Tribes. Unofficially, he's also a spy, sending information back to his government about the Weep, unfiltered by diplomatic channels. Unlike Iari, Gaer isn't so sure the riev's behavior is just a malfunction. The riev were created using a mixture of alchemy and arithmancy. It can't be a coincidence that here, along the edge of the Weep, the riev are also acting in unexplained, and increasingly dangerous, ways.
As Iari and Gaer search for the truth, they discover that the murderous riev is just a weapon in the hands of a wielder with wider ambitions than homicide, who is willing to release horrors not seen since the war—horrors that make rampaging riev seem insignificant.
"Readers seeking a genre-blending tale will enjoy Eason's no-nonsense tone as she sets the plot of a thriller within her established world of science fiction and fantasy."
"The stakes become higher and higher as the story progresses, with all of the characters in mortal danger at one time or another [...] I can hardly wait to read the follow-up! Highly recommended."
Books, Bones, & Buffy
"[A] blow-away tale of high-tech magic in the far future.... This is an edge-of-your-seat exciting tale set in a very unusual universe. I hope it finds its way to awards."
Henry Lazarus, Philadelphia Free Press
"NIGHTWATCH is a book that, in less capable hands, might collapse under its own inventive worldbuilding. But Eason pulls it off, thanks to perfect pacing and the delightfully colorful duo at its core. Splendid stuff!"
Jason M. Hough, New York Times bestseller
"Interstellar intrigue, nightmares from the void, killer robots, and the magic of arithmancy. NIGHTWATCH ON THE HINTERLANDS is a perfect blending of sci-fi and fantasy with a pair of the most unlikely and enjoyable detectives you'll ever meet."
Stephen Blackmoore, author of Bottom Demon
"Magic, power armor, extradimensional monsters — this thrilling mash-up of sci-fi and fantasy kept me turning pages long past my bedtime."
Dan Moren, author of the Galactic Cold War series
"Eason rips open the barrier between science fiction and fantasy to create an action-packed mystery with a distinctive voice, intriguing characters, and incredible worldbuilding."

By 2014 FBiH will have 100 kilometres of highway
December 26, 2012 2:13 PM by Damir Jusic
Manager of public company "Autoceste FBiH" Ensad Karić noted that the Corridor 5C in BiH is 335 km long, and 285 km will go through FBiH.
Karić said that the company will work intensely to ensure the fund for the construction and completion of 100 km of highway by 2014.
"I am convinced that by then we'll finish the construction of the planned highway'', said Karić to Anadolu Agency.
He added that this Managment of "Autoceste FBiH" has been working since September 2011 and that in one year they've managed to build 10 km of highway on subsection Kakanj-Bilješevo, which has been very demanding because of the large landslide.
Karić also said that in the past year they managed to regain the confidence of international financial institutions.
He also noted that "Autoceste FBiH" started working on 10 km of the southern subsection towards Međugorje, including the border crossing, and they also started the construction of 20 km of subsection Vlakovo-Tarčin, and on subsection Butilo-Vlakovo.
"Our three-year plan is that we build ten kilometres of highway in the south, ten kilometre to the north, and a complete 81 km section from Tarčin to Zenica, including Sarajevo detour, and for that we need about one billion and 200 million BAM," confirmed Karić.

Downtown Decatur, Alabama, is one of those wonderful historic neighborhoods that doesn't get as much attention as it should. It sort of loses out against such publicity stars as Natchez, Mississippi, for instance. And I'm one of the worst offenders. For folks in northwest Alabama/northeast Mississippi, Decatur is "on the way" when driving east to Huntsville. Usually I'm on a schedule as I roll by the edge of downtown and I glance out the window and think, "That is so pretty. Sometime I really should come here and explore." Because otherwise I'd miss gems such as this cottage tucked away on a quiet side street. Couldn't you just open the gate and walk up the steps and go sit a spell on the porch? I really had to restrain myself to keep from trying out that rocking chair. There are two adjacent historic districts in downtown Decatur — Old Decatur and New Albany — where you can park your car and enjoy an afternoon of wandering through neighborhoods of cozy Craftsman cottages and stately Victorian homes. And with spring in glorious bloom right now, it's the perfect time: Peaceful and quiet and breathtakingly lovely. There are plenty of spots nearby for shopping and eating, too, with no drive-thru lanes or mega-parking lots required. Not that there is anything wrong with drive-thru lanes and mega-parking lots. But sometimes a shady porch and the sweet smell of camellias is all you need. At http://www.decaturcvb.org/, print out self-guided walking tours and get details on the upcoming Mayfest.
It's fall, y'all! Here in northwest Alabama, it was in the 40s overnight and we're pulling out our jackets and scarves and planning for the much-anticipated annual Boot Day — the first official day it's cool enough (temperature-wise, that is) to wear boots. I know, I know — it's only temporary and we've got many more 85+-degree days to come. But it is encouraging. Another thing I adore about fall is the decor. I mean, who doesn't love cornstalks and gourds and cheerful orange pumpkins? There's something about fall that inspires creativity, like the door of Swirlz, a delightful party-invitation store in Tupelo, Mississippi. I love the combination of the sheer orange ribbon and bare branches with the perky and sunny flowers. And then, adorning the gracious doorway of a magnificent Southern home in Decatur, Alabama, I found these lovely arrangements of gourds, mums and greenery. This is the home of Betty Sims, a cookbook author and former restaurant owner who teaches sold-out cooking classes every fall. She is Southern hospitality personified — warm, generous, funny and sweet — and I think her decor reflects that. Check out the Scrumptious Culinary School schedule at http://scrumptiousinc.com.
I was wandering around the historic district of Decatur, Alabama, the other day and found this gorgeous home. Couldn't you just walk right in?


The meetings are being held to review, discuss and quality-check the raw input data that will go on to be used in their respective benchmark meetings at the outset of 2014. Alongside handling the data and considering new datasets, the data groups will also pave the way for the benchmarks to explore new means of assessing fish stocks through studying various existing options.
Benchmarking takes place every 3-5 years to agree upon what stock assessment methodology to be adopted and each group receives the data that have been organized by the data workshops.
DC-WKPELA and DC-WKSOUTH are two of the data workshops to have already convened, the former dealing with data on stocks of various pelagic fish species including herring and the latter southern megrim and hake stocks. These are followed by DC-WKBALFLAT, which looks at data on Baltic Sea flatfish stocks, and DC-WKDEEP, experts in deep sea stocks, which both met last week at the ICES Secretariat. DC-WKCELT, whose remit covers certain Celtic Sea fish stocks, completes the picture with its meeting in December.


Welcome to Broughton Chalets, where you can envelop yourself in nature and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the estate.
Seclude yourself in the wonderful estate and enjoy the natural surroundings, with dams and streams offering you a perfect escape from the bustle of city life.
The only interruptions you will find at Broughton's Chalets are the gentle dance of the waters and wildlife or the crackling of your own fire.
Our three self-catering chalets each offer a separate open plan lounge and dining area with a beautifully appointed kitchen and all the appliances and utensils required to serve up gourmet meals.
Outside BBQ facilities are provided and each chalet has an undercover veranda with lovely views over the picturesque dam.
Take the time to stroll around the estate and enjoy the five kilometre trail through the indigenous forest, grasslands and gardens.
The estate has wonderful opportunities to sit and enjoy the sights and sounds provided by the undisturbed natural wildlife. Of course, the big five are just around the corner in the many game farms surrounding Nelson Mandela Bay.


Well it was nice to see so many of you back yesterday! I don't have a lot of time but the answer yesterday was MST3K (in one of the funniest episodes EVER) and it was Crow. I don't have time for the scores right now. Here is the new quote!
C1: I got it, I got it! Pretend you just woke up…that'll throw her off! Be sleepy!
C3: What are you…stop naming dwarves!
Good luck everyone! And I hope you're all having a good weekend!

Landowners' Group Files Complaint Against Wyoming DEQ For Records Violation
Wyoming Public Radio | By Catherine Wheeler
Published February 13, 2019 at 10:57 AM MST
Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality
The Powder River Basin Resource Council has filed a complaint against the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality for an alleged public records act violation.
The Resource Council is seeking documents and correspondence regarding the bond renewal for the Belle Ayr Coal Mine located near Gillette. Contura owns the permit for the mine, and its operated by Blackjewel.
The Resource Council specifically wants more information about some parcels of land that is being used for collateral as part of the mine's reclamation bonds. The land is located in Campbell County. Contura values the property around $27 million, but information about the land's appraisals have been not been released, according to legal documents. The land would make up about 22 percent of the mine's bondings.
The Resource Council wants the assurance that the property being used as collateral is in fact worth what the company says it is, Joyce Evans, chairwoman of the Resource Council said.
"First and foremost, of course, is the concern that the bond is not being covered, is not being backed up with actual cash value," Evans said. "Second concern is if this sets a precedent for companies being able to say 'Oh yeah, we have plenty of resources and we're good for that. And just don't worry about it.' That that sets a precedent for the public not being aware and not being informed of what kinds of bonds are actually being posted."
According to legal filings, the department did not release the documents because Blackjewel has requested the appraisal remain confidential. The department said it does not comment on ongoing litigation.

Q: Skip Update of Table when no records present-SQL enter image description hereI want to migrate data from old table (table_old) to new table (table_new).
table_old has following columns.

*

*recordseq

*startdate

*enddate

*field1

*field2

*field3

*recordnum

table_new has following columns.

*

*recordseq

*startdate

*enddate

*field1

*field2

*field3

*field4

*field5

*field6

*recordnum

*recordnum_old

Each recordseq can have multiple records which can be found out by recordnum for example:
If for a particular recordseq has two records, then 1 and 2 will be present in recordnum column data.
Requirement is while migrating the data, every two records in old table should appear in 1 record.
Here data migration means consider field1, field2, field3 and recordnum.
For example, if a particular seq has 4 records in old table then first record will be inserted in 1st row of new table in field1, field2, field3 and 2nd row data will be inserted into field4, field5 and field6.
Similarly for 3rd row data in old table will be inserted in 2nd row of new table in field1, field2 and field3 and 4th row data will be inserted into field4, field5 and field6 of 2nd row in new table.
Some recordseqs may have only one record. Different seqs may have different recordnums.
In new table  recordnum _old  will hold the recordnum  column data of old table and recordnum  will contain new record number after migrating.
So while migrating first we have inserted recordseq, startdate, enddate and recordnum _old  data
And recordnum be constant number like 999 which will be later updated to actual recordnum.
After this we wrote below code to migrate remain data those are field1,field2, field3 as explained above.
    Do
    Begin
     DECLARE MAX_REC INT;
     DECLARE REC_IDX  INT;

     Select max(recordnum) into MAX_REC FROM table _old;
     MAX_REC := 0;
     REC_IDX:=0;

     while(REC_IDX<= MAX_REC)
     Do
      Begin
      IF(mod(REC_IDX,2)=0)
       Then

         Update table_new a set (a. recordNum,a.field1,a.field2,a.field3)
         = (select cast(REC_IDX/2 as int),b. field1,b.field2,b.field3 from table_old  b Where
         a.recordseq=b.recordseq and a.startdate=b.startdate and a.enddate = b.enddate and
         b.recordnum=REC_IDX)  from table_new a where a.recordnum_old= cast(REC_IDX/2 as int);

      ELSEIF
      THEN
        Update table_new a set (a. recordNum,a.field4,a.field5,a.field6)
        = (select cast(REC_IDX/2 as int),b. field1,b.field2,b.field3 from table_old  b Where
        a.recordseq=b.recordseq and a.startdate=b.startdate and a.enddate = b.enddate and
        b.recordnum=REC_IDX)  from table_new a where a.recordnum_old= cast(REC_IDX/2 as int);

     END IF

once execution is finished new records can be filtered out by checking records which dont have pagenum 999
Main Issue with this code is if a particual seq has only one record and Max record number in old table is 5
On first iteration first row of the old record is inserting to first row of new table with rownumber as 1 then  null value is overriding for recordnum in 2nd  iteration as there are no more records present for this record seq.
So I don't want to update the new table for a seq which has no more records in old table while iterating through while loop.
Can you please help me to achive this.

A CHANNEL 4 documentary looking back at a brutal murder in Chester almost 30 years ago has enraged relatives of the victim.
Juliet and Belinda Bramfitt were aged 17 and 10 respectively when their grandmother Gertrude Thomas's head was smashed in with a house brick at her Chester home on Bonfire night 1974.
The sisters, who live in Willaston, were upset to learn Rex Bloomstein had produced a documentary, Lifer - Living With Murder, which they saw as sympathetic to a woman known at the time as Joyce Garbett.
She was present when then boyfriend Colin David Robinson first failed to drown and strangle their 80-year-old grandmother, before repeatedly hitting her in the face with a brick in the quiet cul-de-sac of Mortlake Crescent, off Sandy Lane.
The film was screened on Monday night, two days before the 29th anniversary of their loved one's death and is a follow-up to a 1982 series which featured criminals, including Ms Garbett, given life sentences.
Juliet, a writer and former schoolteacher at Abbeygate School, Victoria Road, said: 'The interviewer kept saying 'you didn't do anything wrong, how terribly you were treated'. In this particular case he was saying the woman didn't do anything but she was saying 'I did, didn't I, I did do wrong. I could have stopped it' - but he wouldn't have it.'
The Bramfitts, who live in New Hey Lane, were not consulted about the programme, which provided insights into the nature of violence and consequences for those serving life sentences.
They believe the family of the victims should have been interviewed to provide a balanced picture. In particular, they want the world to know how their mother Kathleen was haunted by the murder of her mum until her death in 1997.
'The programme was saying these people live with unimaginable guilt, but the people who feel guilty are the ones who shouldn't - those who have lost somebody,' said Juliet.
In a poignant moment in the film, the murderer's accomplice, who married and had a son on release from prison in 1991, said she thought about what happened all the time and said 'you've got to feel for the family. It's not something I will ever forget is it?'
But the granddaughters were unconvinced by what they see as a performance.
'She's thought, I'm on the outside now, the family could be listening. The general public don't know who I am but they know,' said Juliet.
'It was the proper thing to say,' added her sister Belinda, a professional photographer.
The sisters say the only benefit in seeing the programme was the interview with Joyce Garbett, 21 at the time, answered questions about the murder described as 'indescribable savagery' by Mr Justice Mars-Jones at Chester Crown Court.
Ms Garbett, referred to as 'Joyce' in the film, who was of no fixed abode in 1974, told how she met the 29-year-old murderer, from Nottingham, through a dating agency. They stayed in guest houses paid for by committing burglaries.
She said Mrs Thomas had refused to open her safe so Robinson took her upstairs and battered her with a house brick in the bathroom.
Ms Garbett said she could have stopped her associate 'if I wanted my head battering in as well, but I didn't think about that at the time'.
She claimed to have self-harmed by cutting her neck and was diagnosed as a manic depressive.
Juliet remembers the night her grandma was murdered like it was yesterday. She recalled the growing panic after her mother put in the regular 9pm phone call and it was not answered. Her father Clive, now 83, made the grim discovery after hurriedly driving to Chester with his wife to rush to her aid, but finding her in a pool of blood.
Mrs Thomas, who had lost her husband Frank 12 months earlier, was buried alongside him at Bruera on the Grosvenor estate because he had worked as a builder for the fourth Duke of Westminster.
Channel 4 spokeswoman Mags Patten said: 'We never intended to cause distress and we're sorry if we have. We were not able to make any contact in this case. We went through the probation service and they didn't have any details of the family.'
She added Mr Bloomstein was a responsible filmmaker and would be happy to discuss the situation.

Family moves to Hong Kong. Experience bad weather days. Child gets the Hong Kong cough. Child's eczema flares. Visit a few doctors. Mother reads online and browses forums plenty. Invest in Smart Air. Get to try uHoo to see if Smart Air is really working or not.
They say the air we breathe indoors can be much worse than outdoors. From simple things like furniture to cleaning products to even your basic shampoos, conditioners, they all contribute to the air quality. Everyday activities like cooking, appliances, the number of people inside a room greatly affect the quality of our indoor air.
Knowing what you can measure gives you an ability to manage. Knowing the quality of the air you're breathing helps make better decisions about how you live! This knowledge helps you develop better and healthier habits, and in turn avoid any triggers for respiratory issues, amongst other things.
For example, I realized with this monitor that the CO2 levels shoot up crazy with closed windows in a matter of hours, inspite of having house plants. That my VOC levels, though, normal otherwise, would shoot up in the PM after cooking.
uHoo gives you the information and direction you need to take control of what you breathe. The monitor gives you a chance to be a step ahead to plan and prepare.
Yout get real-time data of Temperature, Relative Humidity, Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, PM2.5, TVOCs, Ozone, Air Pressure. You have the option to see the historical data with backup. Real-time push-notification whenever air quality goes bad means you're in control of what needs to be done.
Even while you're away, you can pair it up with a few brands of purifiers and dehumidifiers to automatically switch them on, so you're returning to healthy homes after a vacation and all.
I was obsessing with the numbers and data constantly while using it. In bad weather places or people with respiratory sensitivities, an air quality monitor is a good investment. And I found uHoo very simple and easy to use.
I, by default, am on a clean lifestyle with simple, the minimum and ones-you-can-read ingredients products, but using these monitors will give you a chance to think if your lifestyle is in need of an overhaul as well.


I stepped back through the door to leave the realm behind. Into the hall I returned within the corridor of neutrality. Within the core behind the doors the rooms n realms were locked, doors of opportunity and doors of perception. No fear, no pain... no love, no joy within the neutral halls.. comfortably numb. Somewhere within the walls within the halls, there was a door to home. Alice held the key and no where 2B found.


People talk furtively about the grand old sherry-style Macallans of yesteryear, and that the distillery doesn't quite live up to the classic era anymore. Alas, most people will never get to compare old and new without parting with a lot of cash. I've talked about the core range of Macallan whiskies a few times on Malt, and I've found their whiskies to be largely agreeable these days; sometimes a little uninspiring, sometimes pretty good. But certainly not quite the stuff of legend.
These days, the grand old Macallans cost an absolute fortune on auction sites, and even what appear quite ordinary Macallans are highly sought after. This is a desirable brand. Though almost two-centuries old, recent years have seen something of a premiumisation of Macallans, with its Fine & Rare collection kick-starting a drive to appeal to the wealthy. In 2007, a bottle of 1926 The Macallan reached $54,000 at a Christie's auction. Other bottles now sell for even more stupid prices.
The first-fill casks consisted of: Tevasa Butts; Toneleria Hudo Butts; Vasyma Puncheons; J&M Martin Butts; Gonzalez Byass Butts; and Tevasa Puncheons. The second-fill casks were: sherry hogsheads and sherry butts. The only casks that used American White Oak were the Vasyma Puncheons, whereas the rest used European Oak. I like this amount of detail – indeed, it would be good to have known some of the age of the individual whiskies used in the vatting, but at least we're getting some more information on the vatting of whiskies that don't have an age statement.
It costs $115 or thereabouts – but it's not yet released in the UK. You can pick them up at online whisky auctions for less than £100.
On the nose: gorgeous. I almost want to abandon the review right here and just cuddle my glass sniffing this all night. At first it seems quite simple, in the classic aromas – textbook European oak dried fruits, executed perfectly – but give it a little while longer and even more starts to show through. Vanilla, golden syrup drizzled over a sponge cake. Apricots. Creme brûlée. Strawberry jam. Bird's custard. Quite waxy, too.
In the mouth: quite possibly the nicest whisky mouth-feel I've had in a year or so. Gorgeous, plummy, viscous texture, delivering a wonderful sweet-savoury profile. Those dried fruits: raisins, figs, with damson jam. Mince pies. Walnuts. Burnt toast, burnt sugar. There's just a fraction too much woodiness playing through here: the black pepper notes just don't quite complete it. A touch – nothing more, nothing less, of Worcestershire Sauce, which feels like the wood prickle not quite marrying with the rest of the heady fruit profile. Though the dried fruits endure, there's almost a touch of dark ale on the finish. Complex stuff.
Brilliant to find a No Age Statement whisky that genuinely excites me. Good to see a bold strength and that glorious texture. And I like that they're trying to give more cask information. Is it worth the price? I think so. The Macallan Edition No. 1 is a big step up from the standard 1824 range. And it's finally a Macallan that I can love.

On Mount Kanobili (1553 m.) in 1932, the Soviet Union built the first astrophysical observatory on the initiative of the Georgian scientist, Evgeni Kharadze.
On Mount Kanobili (1553 m.) in 1932, the Soviet Union built the first astrophysical observatory on the initiative of the Georgian scientist, Evgeni Kharadze. In 1934, a 40 cm Carl Zeiss telescope (refractor) was installed in the observatory. In the same year, Abastumani Observatory was elected as a member of the Pacific Association of Astrophysics. In 1936, Abastumani was first visited by a foreign group of astronomers led by Professor Menzel.
Since 1942, it has kept a daily record of sunspots. In the same year, Georgian astronomer Giorgi Tevzadze discovered two new comets - "Comet 1942 Tevzadze - 1" and "Comet 1942 Tevzadze - 2". It was the first astronomical discovery made by a Georgian astronomer, a feat that was later repeated by many Georgian astronomers.
In 1954, a 70 cm- meniscus telescope was installed in the Observatory. Since 1957, it was launched as the first observation station. Two years later, a ropeway from the mountain Kanobili to Abastumani was put into operation. In 1961, astronomer R. Kiladze first measured the thickness of the rings of Saturn, and in 1974 he first noticed the atmosphere of the planet Mercury. Astronomer A. Churadze discovered the first supernova in Galaxy NGC 3389. Currently, Abastumani Observatory named after its founder, Evgeni Kharadze.


"Folsom Prison Blues" is a song written and first recorded in 1955 by Johnny Cash. The song combines elements from two popular folk styles, the train song and the prison song, both of which Cash would continue to use for the rest of his career. It was one of Cash's signature songs.

Dr. Dre Spotted On Date With Mystery Woman After 'Advancing' Ex Nicole $2 Mil In Divorce Battle
Dr. Dre seems to be feeling better. After suffering a brain aneurysm – and amidst his ongoing divorce with ex Nicole Young – the hip-hop icon was spotted with a gorgeous woman on a dinner date in Hollywood.
February 11, 2021 9:43AM EST
While Dr. Dre, 55, kept a low-profile when he paid a visit to BOA Steakhouse in West Hollywood, California, on Wednesday (Feb. 10), the "mystery woman" he was with did not. The rapper/producer/mogul wore an all-black ensemble – black hoodie, black cap, black pants, black facemask – while his supposed dinner date rocked a mesmerizing houndstooth design, one that caught the eye as they exited. This currently unidentified woman decided against wearing a shirt with her outfit, opting for a lace bra for a top. UPDATE [12:49 pm EST]: The "mystery woman" is Apryl Jones, a singer-songwriter and one of the original cast members of Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood, according to The Shade Room.

Dre's dinner comes a month after suffering a brain aneurysm. The music icon was rushed to L.A.'s Cedars Sinai Medical Center at the start of the year and placed in the ICU. Though the condition can be fatal, doctors were able to stop the brain bleed in time. "Thanks to my family, friends, and fans for their interest and well wishes," Dre's official Instagram account posted shortly after his hospitalization. "I'm doing great and getting excellent care from my medical team. I will be out of the hospital and back home soon."

This West Hollywood outing also comes after numerous outlets reported that Dr. Dre agreed to "advance" his estranged wife, Nicole Young, $2 million as part of their ongoing messy divorce proceedings. The mogul – legal name Andrew Young – reportedly agreed to "maintain the financial status quo, including but not limited to' the payment of all of Nicole's expenses consistent with her spending since date of Separation, which includes paying for all expenses relating to the Malibu residence and the residence in the Palisades," according to TMZ, who first reported the deal. Dre has also reportedly agreed to pay Nicole $500k for her attorney fees.

This is just a one-time payment, not the $2 million a month that Nicole requested in September 2020. She was also asked for $5 million to cover her lawyer fees pertaining to the divorce, according to documents obtained by HollywoodLife. The couple is set for another court date in April, where they will likely discuss her request for spousal support and legal fees. Dre is reportedly paying Nicole nearly $300 a month in temporary support, per TMZ. While this seems like a lot, Forbes reported in 2019 that Dre's Net Worth was an estimated $800 million.
Nichole filed for divorce on June 29, 2020, ending her and Dre's 24-year-old marriage. She cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. The couple shares two adult children: son Truice, 23, and 19-year-old daughter Truly. Since both are over the age of 18, there will be no need to establish custody in this divorce.

Los brasileños constituyen la comunidad latinoamericana más numerosa que reside en Alemania, se encuentran en territorio alemán estudiantes, comerciantes, empresarios y deportistas. Según el censo del año 2003, había 60.000 brasileños residiendo en Alemania. Otro factor de inmigración, es la masiva migración alemana que tuvo Brasil durante siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX de los cuales muchos de sus descendientes optaron por recuperar los vínculos familiares que tienen con el país europeo.

Muchos brasileños emigran para buscar mejores condiciones de trabajo y oportunidades, Alemania ha acogido migrantes de este país desde muchos años atrás y a la fecha siguen llegando al país nuevos ciudadanos del Brasil que buscan aprovechar una doble ciudadanía que acoge el llamado milagro alemán.

Estos dos países han estado ligados desde años anteriores, hay un flujo comercial que beneficia a ambos y que ha permitido la industrialización del gigante sudamericano tan comparable al de Alemania. Los negocios y la industria son un potencial económico que orilla a cientos de brasileños emigrar hacia Alemania para mejorar sus técnicas de producción energética y comercial. Muchas veces con grandes diferencias en temas ambientalistas y otras veces con gran coordinación.

Cultura brasileña en Alemania

El Carnaval de las Culturas es un acto de masas multicultural de Berlín que tiene su origen en el Carnaval de Río de Janeiro en Brasil, y que se celebra cada año desde 1996 para el fin de semana de Pentecostés en el distrito de Kreuzberg. Es organizado por el Taller de las Culturas en Berlín.

The 2017/2018 Examinations for second semester began in Obafemi Awolowo University, popularly known for the acronym OAU despite the ongoing strike action by members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
Some Students showed their displeasure while some others appreciated the fact that the university had pulled out recently from the union and could carry out their academic activities.
The Union, led by Biodun Ogunyemi, had started the strike action since November with the aim to increase funding of universities and implementation of agreements.
While other academic activities were suspended in other universities like the University of Lagos and University of Ibadan, departments in OAU carried on because they had lecturers who were not members of ASUU.
Although the strike is still ongoing, it is said that the union had made fresh demand and we still await the result of the series of meetings with the Federal Government.

Are Our Online "Friends" Really Friends?
I've given links to the IEEE Explore site, which I think is the place that knows about most organizational subscriptions to IEEE Computer. I find the IEEE Computer approach to subscriptions confusing, though: in your organization there may be another place to get to the free copies. Often Google Scholar is the best way to find the articles.
My research focus is on collaborative systems that support human interaction through computer systems. My career goal is to understand how to develop and apply computer technology to the problems of human organizations.
One of the biggest such problems is getting the right information to the right people. The Internet has democratized the publishing process. Now, anyone who wants can publish anything they want, just by creating a Web site. We humans are hopelessly overmatched by the increasing volumes of information that are published. Collaborative filtering is a technology that enables us to all work together to sift through the millions of documents on any topic to find those that are most appropriate for each of us. Collaborative filtering works by learning which kinds of documents each of us likes, and finding other people who share out interests.
Across our entire research program, our goal is to understand how computers can be used to help people process information more efficiently, and work together better.
I am currently involved in several research projects to explore these topics.


Anne Arundel County School Superintendent Carol S. Parham is searching for answers to a puzzle that has frustrated educators across the country for decades: Why do minorities receive lower grades, test more poorly and get suspended more than white classmates?
Parham, an African-American who heads a mostly white school district, recently called in black teachers, community leaders and administrators to ask for help in finding ways to close the gap between minority and white students.
"I'm not looking for a whole new set of things," she said. "I am looking to better use what we already have and maybe find some new strategies."
Parham is not the first superintendent to deal with poor performance by minorities and not the first to form a task force to look for solutions. Baltimore County School Superintendent Anthony G. Marchione announced in November that he was appointing a task force to study student achievement, including the gulf between whites and minorities.
In September, the Maryland State Department of Education released a report detailing the performance of most minorities compared with white students statewide.
In 1996-1997, blacks, who make up slightly more than one-third of the state's students, accounted for more than half of high school dropouts, as well as more than half of student suspensions.
Large gaps also exist in test scores. On the 1997 Maryland School Performance Assessment Program, Asian females posted the highest scores, with 59.2 percent performing satisfactorily. Black males were the lowest-scoring group, with 14.7 percent earning a satisfactory score. Elementary and secondary school tests showed similar results.
The problem is likewise acute in Anne Arundel County, where African-Americans, who constitute 18 percent of the 73,000-student enrollment, account for the highest number of dropouts, and where black males were the lowest scoring group on the MSPAP.
Experiments to change those statistics -- hiring extra teachers with federal money, new reading and math programs, raising standards for all students -- have been disappointing.
Nowhere have educators succeeded in eliminating the gap between whites and minorities or finding a conclusive explanation for the gap.
That has not kept educators from debating competing opinions and paying for programs that promise immediate results.
"There is an inordinate amount of time spent on infighting in education, partly because no one is exactly sure about how to improve things and reach children," said Michael Nakkula, assistant professor of education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education who works on minority programs in Boston public schools.
One such program, the 12-year-old Accelerated Schools Project designed by Henry Levin of Stanford University, is based on the theory that all students will excel if given exciting and creative things to do -- the kinds of things normally reserved for only the best students.
"Students in gifted and talented programs become engaged in learning," Levin says. "The traditional way of remediation is boring and often referred to as 'drill and kill.' It's repeating the same things over and over again. There are constant discipline problems because the kids get bored."
About 1,000 schools in 41 states use Levin's $15,000-a-year program, and many have reported improvements among minorities.
Another program that has shown promise in 1,100 schools in 45 states, including Baltimore County's, is Success For All. Designed by the Johns Hopkins University for elementary schools with mostly poor children, it is based on the idea that everyone can learn to read if worked with young enough so that problems are caught and extra work assigned. It, too, is costly, about $70,000 to start up and as much as $30,000 annually.
There is some question that programs such as these, modeled for urban schools with big minority populations, would work in suburban and mostly white Anne Arundel schools.
"They would work," contends Steven Ross, professor of educational research at the University of Memphis. "The important thing is that the schools and the community pick a model or components of the models that suit their needs."
Suburban schools might use such parts of the overall program as extended-day scheduling, peer tutoring, year-round schooling or summer school classes to boost minority learning.
Levin agreed: "What you do in a district with a smaller disadvantaged population is the same thing any other district would do. Does it mean you are leveling kids off? No, because the kids that are more advanced will move further on in the topic anyway."
Cost could be a barrier to the use of such programs in Anne Arundel County, where the school budget was slashed by $9 million this year.
On Jan. 20, Parham will unveil her fiscal year 2000 budget, the first under County Executive Janet S. Owens, who has promised to supply more money for education.
Parham has said she thinks it is unnecessary to rip apart the curriculum to boost minority performance. She has given each member of her task force a copy of the state minority achievement report to use as a guide.
Barbara Dezmon, chairwoman of the Maryland State Education Multicultural Advisory Council, who worked on the report, urged "systemic reform."
She said, "It is up to the individual jurisdictions to invest in effective practices that will help solve the problems and close the gap. Just adding on programs without changing the system entirely, we will end up with much of what we have now -- a lot of work with little improvements."
Thomas Florestano, a school board member and former president of Anne Arundel Community College, suggested that the task force come up with ways to make education a priority for minorities.
Succeeding in school has to be made a priority at home, he said, noting the example of one middle class community outside Cleveland where more than half the students are black but accounted for 82 percent of the district's dropouts.
"This committee has to figure out a way to make achievement a positive thing," he said. "White families have overcome that through years of cultural change. If blacks move to upper-class neighborhoods, is the environment going to help learning? Well, that showed that academic achievement is a negative in the black community, and that is sad."
While students are not members of the superintendent's task force, they have ideas about improving minority academic performances.
"School is all about what you put into it," said Annapolis senior JoRon Johnson. "If you don't produce, then you won't get anything out of it. And if you don't have anyone encouraging you to succeed and if you don't know that someone cares about what you are doing, you won't do well."
His parents, he said, did not attend college, but they pushed him, and he has been accepted by Frostburg State University, Howard University and George Washington University.
A classmate, Paul Comas, said absentee fathers and problems at home contribute to low achievement among minorities. His parents also encouraged him to succeed in school, and he has been accepted by Columbia University, where he plans to major in electrical engineering.
"In high school, it's the turning point. You can say, 'All right, enough of this,' " he said. "Even though there is a stereotype, you realize that it's time to start studying and doing homework, no matter what."


If I could find the me of your age somewhere I'd have called myself a baby. If you have to take a stand that involves sacrificing someone's happiness for someone else's, whose happiness will you choose? Does that mean money is the only language that you can use – even with your closest family? But it gives you the mental strength and confidence to even believe that you can make your own decisions. If between the two of you you're earning an amount which won't allow for the maintenance of the same standard of living you currently enjoy – well, that's a call you need to take.Well, on second thoughts there are people who'd still call me a baby and their number is more than two, but I digress again… In my experience of talking to, consoling and counselling scores of young people like you, I've observed that there are three golden rules of dealing with parents who are real tough nuts to crack, and I thought I'll lay them down today, fuming as I am. And you have no idea about the power of that belief. Again, you need to choose the option that makes you the least unhappy: Option #1: Embark on a radically new life.Take time to research as many examples as possible of happy intercaste couples and unhappy same-caste couples among your friends and acquaintances.
Anticipate the concerns your parents might have regarding your intercaste marriage. For example, they might fear adverse reaction from relatives, or they might believe that intercaste marriages don't work or that children of intercaste marriages face problems.
I know countless inter-caste couples who have tried to convince their parents, failed and then gone ahead to get married anyway, leaving their parents' home. In 100% of the cases, the parents' accepted them within one year of getting married.* :) Blackmail? If that's the tried, tested and fully working method, please help yourselves. :) *[Update: As pointed out by some readers, this requires some clarifications.
There's nothing wrong with choosing either of these options. Make a rational, practical and well-thought out decision, and prepare yourself mentally for the consequences. That analysis might happen in our minds entirely unconsciously. I think it's very clear that their child's happiness – while important – is not a determining factor for them so far as this decision is concerned.
I repeat – There's nothing wrong with choosing either of these options. Don't go into a hailstorm of remorse when those consequences become reality, because you know that you can't have it all and you've made the best decision. (Otherwise why on Earth would they deliberately want their child to get married to someone other than the one they're already deeply in love with? Is it looking very compelling to say a "yes" at the cost of losing face to the community? Now look at this one: What does that look like to you now?Introduce your "him"/ "her" to them and then request them to bring the matter up with your parents.

Q: Why to use #newBuilder() function in Builder Pattern? Is it mandatory? I am using the Builder Pattern since time ago, but these days one of my collegues reach me with a question to which I never thought about, and is about the #newBuilder() function in the Builder Pattern.
I've seen in several forums, tutorials, and even APIs, that when using the Builder Pattern, a structure like this is usually used:
Car car1 = new CarBuilder().newBuilder().twoDoors().fourWheels().build();

Usually, inside of the #newBuilder() function, there is a code like this:
public static CarBuilder newBuilder(){
  return new CarBuilder();
}

The question is, why should be needed a #newBuilder() function in the Builder class? Is it a good practice to have it, or is needed only when overloading is applied? I mean, just in the cases where I need to overload the #newBuilder() having 2 or 3 different #newBuilder() functions with different parameters.
What if I will have only one #newBuilder() function in the Builder class? Should I implement it, or can I avoid it and do something like:
Car car1 = new CarBuilder().twoDoors().fourWheels().build();

The question of my colleague was: If I implement the #newBuilder() function, am I falling in redundancy with the first example if I will only have one #newBuilder() function in my Builder class?
What you think about this? Should I remove it or it is justified to have the #newBuilder() function despite of I have only one implementation of it without overloading?
Thanks!

A: Note that this:

Car car1 = new CarBuilder().newBuilder().twoDoors().fourWheels().build();

Is definitely redundant, but not because the newBuilder() method exists. The problem is your code is essentially this:
CarBuilder builder1 = new CarBuilder();
CarBuilder builder2 = builder1.newBuilder();
Car car1 = builder2.twoDoors().fourWheels().build();

In other words, you're creating two instances of CarBuilder. Also, you're calling a static method on an instance reference, which is frowned upon. With your current setup, your code should be either:
Car car1 = new CarBuilder().twoDoors().fourWheels().build();

OR:
Car car1 = CarBuilder.newBuilder().twoDoors().fourWheels().build();

Which style you choose is up to you. However, if you choose to use the second approach (the static factory method newBuilder()), then typically the builder's constructor is made private, or at least package-private, so that new CarBuilder() cannot be used by external code.
So, I would say "no", having newBuilder() is not redundant in and of itself, as long as you use it correctly. It's simply an alternative way of creating a builder instance without calling the constructor directly. Note using the static factory method approach may aid in readability, because you can name the method something more descriptive. You may not see that advantage unless you have a significant number of different factory methods with different semantics, however.

Another thing to consider is where to place the newBuilder() static method. If CarBuilder and Car are extremely coupled, then many developers will put the static method in the Car class instead of the CarBuilder class (if not just nest the latter in the former).
For example:
package sample;

public final class Car {

  public static CarBuilder newBuilder() {
    return new CarBuilder();
  }

  private final int numberOfDoors;
  private final int numberOfWheels;

  Car(CarBuilder builder) {
    this.numberOfDoors = builder.numberOfDoors;
    this.numberOfWheels = builder.numberOfWheels;
  }

  // getters and setters omitted for brevity
}

package sample;

public final class CarBuilder {

  private int numberOfDoors; // should initialize to sensible default
  private int numberOfWheels; // should initialize to sensible default

  CarBuilder() {}

  public CarBuilder twoDoors() {
    numberOfDoors = 2;
    return this;
  }

  public CarBuilder fourWheels() {
    numberOfWheels = 4;
    return this;
  }

  public Car build() {
    return new Car(this);
  }
}

Which could then be used like so:
Car car1 = Car.newBuilder().twoDoors().fourWheels().build();
