Horrified by what she had done and rejected by the Abomination, Threnody fled to the west coast and began living on the streets of Los Angeles. During this period, she was in constant agony and often delusional. In L.A., she met Gordon Lefferts, a geneticist occasionally in the employ of Mister Sinister who was the first mutant exposed to the Legacy Virus. Before his passing, Lefferts identified the virus within him and began studying it for a possible cause and cure. Threnody and a number of other homeless were squatting in the private lab space where Lefferts worked and he may have performed some experiments on them while they stayed with him. Whether it was because of this or something else, Threnody's powers were altered and she became uniquely sensitive to the Legacy Virus. She could feel mutants around the world, empathically accumulating a death charge from each one that was infected with the virus.
Over time, Threnody learned a great deal more about the man she was indentured to and began plotting how to get out from under Sinister's thumb. Her constant monitoring turned up the existence of Nate Grey, fresh from the Age of Apocalypse, and she saw in him a chance to free herself from Sinister.
Threnody was left for dead in St. Raymond's Cemetery, picked up as a Jane Doe and taken to the morgue. [X-Man #26] Her power wouldn't let her die and Threnody fed off of her own death charge before consuming the energies within the morgue. This restored her to a semblance of life and she walked away from the morgue. But her power had a new aspect causing the dead to rise and follow her. [X-Man #29] Threnody's very presence now influenced the death energy in her environment, bringing nearby corpses back as undead "zomboids" who followed her wherever she went. Seeking to feed, Threnody stumbled into the Last Lair after the psychotic Jackknife massacred the entire gang and drank deep off of the lingering death energies there. [X-Man #32] She remained in the Morlock Tunnels until she discovered the Dark Beast's labs nearby. Threnody wisely chose to relocate before he discovered her presence.
She and her loyal, benign undead entourage haunted the SoHo loft apartment where she and Nate Grey had lived until Nate unexpectedly dropped in again after several months away. Threnody kept to the shadows and was angered to see Nate was travelling with Madelyne Pryor, the woman who killed her. [X-Man #51] Her powers were not all that had changed since she rose from the dead. Threnody's stomach was now noticeably distended making it appear as if she was several months pregnant. She tracked Nate via his unique death energy for a time, first to Alaska and then to Seattle where he collapsed in an alley after a battle. [X-Man #56-57] She took him to her refuge under the Seattle piers. While he lay unconscious for a week, she was sustained by her zomboids who had grown addicted to Threnody. Nate woke to see the zomboids hungrily clawing at Threnody, who seemed to be in a delusional state or intense pain. When Nate pulled her free, she was as svelte and slim as the day they met. All signs of her apparent pregnancy were gone.
Threnody's tolerance for the ever-present zomboids that followed her around had turned to fear and she hoped that reconnecting with Nate would help her rid herself of them. She managed to escape the zomboids for a while with Nate's telekinetic help and the former couple finally had a chance to catch up. Threnody told Nate that she never "abandoned" him all those months ago as he believed and told him how she been killed by Madelyne. She also confessed to Nate about her feedings at the cancer ward and among the homeless. Both Threnody and Nate finally acknowledged that she was addicted to death.
The zomboids soon located their unwitting mistress and Threnody and Nate fled to an anchored yacht far from the zomboids and anyone near death that Threnody could feed off. Nate hoped that this would allow her to beat her addiction "cold turkey". Her withdrawal was a difficult one, particularly because of Nate's own unique death energy. Because his power was killing him and would cut his life short before he reached 21, Nate Grey was a constant source of ripe death energy for Threnody. She had been feeding on Nate's death energies since they met. In her newly enhanced state, Threnody was actively weakening Nate every minute they were together. He provided an everlasting high for her death addiction. For both their sakes, Threnody insisted on cutting ties with Nate and going her own way. When he told her he loved her and would stay by her regardless, Threnody pushed Nate away by claiming that she never loved him, only the "taste" of his death energies. To save the man she loved, Threnody broke his heart, leaving a shattered Nate Grey behind as she disappeared once more into the night.
Adding to the tragedy of this situation is the possibility that Threnody may have given birth to Nate's child. After parting ways with Nate this final time, Threnody retrieved a bundle from her refuge which appeared to be a newborn child. [X-Man #58] Threnody has not been seen since. Rumors have spread that she is still active following M-Day but she has yet to reveal herself.
NOTE: The full details of Threnody's post-mortem condition have yet to be fully explained. After her rebirth, Threnody showed physical signs suggesting that she was pregnant. This was reinforced by subtle bits of dialogue, the scene in which she went from being visibly "with child" to completely trim and toned, and most obviously, her final appearance in which she cradled what appeared to be a snarling baby. The secrets of this child and its parentage along with the true nature of Threnody's pregnancy have not yet been revealed.

Watch reviews and read testimonials from parents, Children's Centres, schools, nurseries and MORE!
See what our parents have to say about BilinguaSing in this short video, or read the testimonials and see our awards and mentions below!
Read about us in Huff Post Parents, Baby London Magazine and the Chartered Institute of Linguists.
"As part of our universal service BilinguaSing provides a introduction to parents and carers into learning a new language. Ellie and her team work hard to provide an excellent service which benefits those who attend."
"Prospective parents are definitely interested and impressed when we say we have BilinguaSing classes here and I believe that it somewhat helps their decision whether or not to send their child to our setting."
"Having observed some of the parent and child classes taking place, we were impressed with the set up which really makes learning fun by incorporating music, singing and consistent interaction and audience participation."
"Really enjoyed our music class last week...The songs were fun and we have been singing whilst doing the actions at home! Looking forward to another class- thank you BilinguaSing!"
Adam had a great time and is looking forward to seeing you at the next session. I just wanted to say thanks very much for the taster classes, they are great fun and totally unique compared to other baby classes we've been to.
Excellent taster session today thanks BilinguaSing! Leo and I are really looking forward to September!
We've just finished a 3-week summer course of Baby Loves Spanish. My 5 month old daughter and I loved it! The songs are sung in English and Spanish - it's amazing how quickly the Spanish versions get stuck in your head! I think it's really important for babies to be exposed to additional languages as early as possible. It's also great for mums as it challenges you and staves off 'baby brain'! I will definitely be signing us up for the Autumn term!
Night-time songs tonight took an interesting twist as my almost 2yo Freya asked for "horsey horsey" in suppish (Spanish)! I obliged of course and she then sang it in English followed by Spanish...over and over and over again, enjoying the 'tacata' bit the most. Just goes to show how clever our little ones are! Proud mummy!
"We love this class! Raising both my girls bilingual and we listen to the "Baby Loves Spanish "CD's every day in the car. My husband only speaks English, but now, thanks to the Cd's he sings the songs in both languages to my daughter. The classes are fun, interactive, well thought out and extremely educational. We cannot wait to start the new term!
I think Baby Loves Spanish is one of the best mummy and baby activities out there. the classes are planned to meet the needs of the babies but they are stimulating and interesting for tired mums at the same time!

Getty Museum's $44.9-million purchase of J.M.W. Turner masterpiece is final as sale clears U.K. export hurdle
February 3, 2011 | 3:58 pm
Seven months after the gavel came down at Sotheby's in London, declaring the Getty Museum its proud buyer -- for $44.9 million –- a prized 1839 painting by J.M.W. Turner is indeed finally "sold" and headed to Brentwood, where the museum expects to display it by the end of February.
An agent for the Getty picked up the export license that seals the deal for "Modern Rome -- Campo Vaccino" from the British culture ministry at the opening of business Thursday, said David Bomford, the museum's acting director, and a copy of the certificate arrived by e-mail in the middle of the night.
With that, the museum cleared a hurdle it had tripped over in failed attempts to complete past high-profile purchases from Great Britain.
Under British law, artworks of "special significance" that have been on British soil for more than 50 years can't be sold and exported without a license -- and if a buyer surfaces in Britain who is willing to match what the foreign buyer was willing to pay, that institution or individual gets to cut in like a suitor at a dance, and walk away with the object of affection. In November, the British culture minister said the license for the Turner would be held up at least through Feb. 2, and possibly until Aug. 1, to allow a domestic purchaser time to come forward.
"During that period, you never know whether something is going to come up; you're waiting to see whether the decision is in your favor or not," Bomford said Thursday. Getty leaders' confidence was up, he said, because in talking with colleagues at U.K. museums, they knew no rivals were emerging from that quarter.
The Getty had famously failed to take home Raphael's "Madonna of the Pinks" for $46.6 million in 2002, giving way instead to the National Gallery of London, and in 2005 it lost out on a $3.2-million illuminated psalter when the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge stepped in.
But "Modern Rome" is coming, perhaps a sign that at a time of austerity in Great Britain, a domestic arts economy that's far more reliant on government funding than in the United States could not muster the wherewithal to take the painting away from the privately and lavishly endowed Getty. In 2004, according to a BBC report, the British government anted up more than half the money to match the Getty's bid for "Madonna of the Pinks," tapping a fund from lottery receipts that's earmarked for cultural purposes.
Another possible factor: British museums already own excellent Turners, so it was easier to let this one go than it had been to part with a prized Raphael.
The Turner painting is still at Sotheby's, Bomford said, and in the coming two weeks the Getty will wire its payment to the auction house and dispatch a curator to oversee packing and travel arrangements. By month's end, the museum director said, "Modern Rome -- Campo Vaccino" should occupy the wall space that's already been picked out for it in the Getty's 19th century British gallery.
"We're delighted and looking forward very much to having it here," he said. "I have no doubt we will have some sort of celebration, but we want to get it here first and put it on the wall."
Right after the auction last July, Bomford described the painting as an "acquisition [that] ranks among the greatest in the history of the Getty Museum … .Paintings by Turner rarely come to market and the absolutely flawless condition of this one makes it the work against which all other works by Turner will be judged." Scott Schaefer, the museum's senior curator of paintings, chimed in with the opinion that "Turner is quite simply the greatest British painter of the 19th century and occupies a unique and pivotal position in the history of art."
Los Angeles Times art critic Christopher Knight said after the auction that "Modern Rome -- Campo Vaccino," which had hung for 30 years in the National Galleries of Scotland, on loan from its now-former owners, the Primrose family, is "a … tour de force, a celebratory elegy. Probably Turner's last work in Rome, it shows the great classical, Renaissance and Baroque powerhouse city melting into a distinctly modern atmosphere of broken color and dazzling light. Looking at it, you know the world going forward will never be the same as it had been for centuries."

Everyone has a secret. For some, it's worth dying to protect. For others, it's worth killing.
The glass beach house was supposed to be the getaway that Susan needed. Eager to help her transplanted family set down roots in their new town - and desperate for some kid-free conversation - she invites her new neighbors to join in on a week-long sublet with her and her workaholic husband.
Over the course of the first evening, liquor loosens inhibitions and lips. The three couples begin picking up on the others' marital tensions and work frustrations, as well as revealing their own. But someone says too much. And the next morning one of the women is discovered dead on the private beach.
Town detective Gabby Watkins must figure out who permanently silenced the deceased. As she investigates, she learns that everyone in the glass house was hiding something that could tie them to the murder, and that the biggest secrets of all are often in plain sight for anyone willing to look.
A taut, locked-room mystery with an unforgettable cast of characters, One Little Secret promises to keep listeners addicted and debating the blinders that we all put on in the service of politeness.

Lies She Told
The Widower's Wife
Dark Turns
What listeners say about One Little Secret
Sophomoric and Boring...
I generally don't like leaving poor reviews. I enjoyed this author's last book (The Lies She Told) so much I couldn't wait to buy this one. I realize this is subjective but I found this book boring and completely unrealistic. I couldn't find anything to like about the six main characters and by the end of the book I really didn't care. Three grown, professional couples go on a vacation together. They rent a vacation home. Two are having an affair. One wife is suing two of the husbands but their wives don't know about the lawsuit at all. The men feel emasculated and the women whine. And these are friends? WHY? I didn't even care who murdered one of the friends by the time the killer was revealed. Hilary Huber does a good job narrating but even she could not save this book. Not recommended. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You.
Ruby Fitzgerald
Interesting story, but author has some annoying issues
The story kept my interest and was entertaining enough, but the author constantly mentioned how the women were "petite", "tiny", how the men towered over them, etc. Yeah, we get it, they were small- it didn't need to be brought up every other sentence. There was even a line about how no man would want his petite wife walking home alone in the dark. As if husbands don't care about their wives' safety if they aren't tiny.
Kelly C.
Did Not Work For Me
This story immediately caught my attention as it started off with an investigation into a sexual assault and a murder. I was very intrigued within the prologue and first chapter to see where this would go next. It did veer off a little different than expected after that and I was ready for it to be over. I thought about DNFing several times. You will be introduced very quickly to several characters (the main characters, their children, their significant others). I had to take a step back and get everyone straight. I had a hard time keeping track of all of the characters throughout the story as there was really nothing distinguishable about them. This also jumps from different times in the story which I normally am not a fan of. It did not bother me too much in this one, but I still just never seemed to care what was going on. This really reminded me of Big Little Lies, so I think you would like this if you liked that. There is a lot of drama. The story jumps from time and place as you are learning what happened while the couples were at the beach house. Overall, this just did not work for me.
Chriaty
Robot narrator
If you want to hear Siri read a book I guess this is the book for you.
Actually genuinely shocked!
I really enjoy this genre. There are some really obnoxious tropes (crazed single woman whose painfully lonely and unfulfilled without a man, anyone?!) and while this book did fall in to a few of those I still really enjoyed it. Usually the shocks and surprises are telegraphed a mile out but this one actually had me gasp in surprise at one point! So fun! It was part of my premium membership so it was free but if it weren't I'd still be satisfied if I'd paid for it! Definitely recommend!
Terrible narrator
I couldn't get far enough into the book to determine if the story was good or not. The narration was terrible. I had to speed it up because she spoke so slow and sounded robotic.
Rythea
Horrible Narration, Stupid Story
I typically never write reviews but I want to hopefully save other from wasting 9+ hours of their lives on this. The premise of this book is ridiculous and truly unbelievable. The narrator ends her sentences in "uptalk". Her imitations of male voices is beyond irritating. The story kept getting even more stupid as it went on. The only reason why I finished it was to know how ridiculously it ended. Don't waste your time.
Joan L. roberts
so boring
Loved her other books ...I was looking forward to this book...after 1 1/2 hrs I gave up. You have to grab the readers at the beginning ..that never happened.
Jennifer Trotter
So.....boring!!!
I gave it 2 hours of listening....so bored I had to give it up. Nothing grabbed me or got me invested in the story...after 2 full hours! Plus, the narrator straight up sounds like Siri or a robot, it's incredibly off putting. Just speak like a normal person! Don't waste your time with this one.
ShaShaShima
Glacially slow burn
The story had just enough going on to keep me listening till the end. The pacing is slow. There are enough twists and turns to keep things interesting. In the end I don't believe anyone really got justice in spite of the self-righteous detective's best efforts. I really wish she would have just left things alone.

Magic City Makes 3 Major Announcements
By hilisusie
Magic City Jai-Alai's Scott Savin announced three major events during Friday's noon Jai-Alai performance this week:
The US National Jai-Alai Championship is now scheduled for Saturday & Sunday, December 5-6, shortly after the end of the Magic City Jai-Alai season which ends on Sunday, November 29th. There are currently 35-40 confirmed entrants with more coming in. Live fan viewing, if accommodated, is likely to be limited to family and/or friends of contestants but details are still being sorted out. This is great news for Jai-Alai fans as the tournament has been postponed several times due to the worldwide covid-19 pandemic. Die-hard Jai-Alai fans are surely hoping and expecting to see the father/son team of Benny & Chris Bueno who were previously entered in this tourney.
Also, Scott Savin mentioned the addition of 10-more weeks of Magic City Jai-Alai in 2021 from February through the first 2-weeks in April. This is great news for Magic City Jai-Alai fans!
The third big announcement is the start of the final 2020 Doubles Tournament at Magic City Jai-Alai which starts on Thursday, October 15 at the noon performance. Teams were announced and there will be two doubles games each performance, games 5 & 7, not the usual three that we are used to seeing. The first place team splits $10,000 while the second place team splits an impressive $5,000. The 9-teams for the tourney are: Vuelo-Anderluck, Asier-Douglas, CRB-Ben, Jeden-Bradley, Cool Fitness-Ikeda, El Barba-Kubala, Juice-RonRon, Bueno-Tennessee, Diaz-Carballo. This tourney runs through the end of the 2020 season and should definitely provide some great competitive action for fans to follow

CashSplash 5 Reel
The popular progressive video slot Cash Splash is a five reel slot machine with a single payline. The Cash Splash video slot will provide you with the classic slot symbols like 7:s, Bars and Cherry´s, and you will feel like you are in Las Vegas playing for the really big bucks. However, there is one big difference from the old Vegas slots and that is the progressive jackpot. The jackpot will increase 24/7 until someone hits the jackpot, and then it will start all over again. The minimum bet is €1, but you have to bet the maximum of €3 to be eligible for the progressive jackpot, which resets to €5,000 and starts climbing from there every time it is hit. In other words the jackpot will never go lower than €5,000!
The Cash Splash symbol acts as a wild symbol, a multiplier symbol and five of them on the payline wins the jackpot, which is sometimes can go well over €100,000. Using the Cash Splash symbol as a wild symbol doubles the amount won and if you land two of them it multiplies the win by four.
The Cash Splash video slot also comes as a 3 reel slot and we are convinced that you will want to try both the 3 reel slot and the 5 reel slot and take a shot at the big bucks. Good luck!

Author Notes: At a recent benefit (Bubble Foundation, NYC) that I assisted in the preparation of foods, a gluten free cookie was served. I started thinking about adapting some of my baked goods to be gluten free also. This one fell right into place as it was practically gluten free to begin with.
Preheat oven to 300F. Butter an 8X8 baking dish. Stir all ingredients in a bowl until fully incorporated. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes.
Let cool a bit and serve by itself, with vanilla ice cream, unsweetened whipped cream, or some thick yogurt.
Great idea for a new post - I tested a date jam at our local Farmers Market and swooned over it - let's keep at the date recipes!
Should we have a "Datecuterie"?
I, too, have many family and Depression-era recipes spotlighting dates. This looks terrific!
Thank you, Liz! I'd love to see some of your family recipes with dates. I seem to put them in everything at the moment!
Thank you, chiocolat! Texture wise, it is a bit like an undercooked brownie, but in a good way. It firms up after hanging out in the refrigerator! I love learning more about my family's history through their recipes!
How interesting! Great story, too.
Thank you, Sagegreen! I love reminiscing about my family through food memories.
I'm going to make this very soon--it sounds wonderful!
Thank you ellenl, you will enjoy it! I look forward to hearing how you like it!
Great story. We had a lot more dates in my childhood 1950s than I'd think of eating today, and I knew that a lot of our family date recipes were carried over from my mother's time. Since dates aren't local anywhere in the U.S., you'd think they were exotic, but little white boxes packed with lined-up dates were ubiquitous when I was growing up. I love the thought of your great grandmother eating local eggs and butter...and dates.
Thank you Greenstuff for your historical insight! My grandmother continued using dates in her baking and never tired of them. I now recall her saying that dates were plentiful and one of the only imported items she remembers using. I have apparently been bitten by the date bug as I use them in everything, savory and sweet!
This sounds delicious...dates are so naturally sweet and I love your addition of chocolate and expresso.
Thank you dymnyno! I love baking with dates!

Thinking of selling your motorbike? Here's a few tips!
When you realise you want to sell your motorbike, car or van, a feeling of dread can set in. This might be because of past experience or the horror stories from family and friends. These days selling your motorbike doesn't have to be a long or complicated process. All you need is a motorcycle valuation, so you know where your bike stands in the market and pick which method you'd like to go with..
✤ They want to switch it up, try a new bike!
Read up on your bike! Look around at what the bike's generally selling for, and the quality that is out there at the moment. This will give you an idea as to where you can place your bike in the current market.
It's an obvious one, but spend some time and a bit of money to clean your bike up. Get some wet wax in, some chain lube and give it a general spruce up. The better it looks, the more people will pay.
Put some time into a mini service, make sure the tyres are up to scratch, oil and coolant are sorted, and electrics are all doing what they should. Nothing could be more awkward then a buyer looking at your bike, and it doesn't work..!
If your bike doesn't currently have an MOT, try and get one. It's a lot harder to sell a motorbike with no MOT, its gives the buyer a green light that everything can be trusted, also cuts down the haggling opportunities.
When the buyer comes to view the bike, have all the services records, modifications and receipts at the ready. Also the big ones, the MOT and logbook must be nearby.
All of this is making the buyer more comfortable and confident in what you are saying, making for a smoother sell. If everything goes well, don't forget to give the owner's manual!
ways and places to sell your motorbike, you could consider privately or perhaps an online motorcycle buyer. Read up on the pros and cons of each method to see which is right for you.
If you would prefer to have full control and do it all yourself, it's just a case of getting the information out there to the right people. This might be online through on forums or eBay for example, or if you are wanting to keep it nearby you could contact local bike clubs and see where the noticeboards are.
If you are in a hurry for cash or if you are wanting to trade your bike in, online motorcycle buyers are the quicker and easier way to go.
We Buy Any Bike stick to the price they offer you and collect your motorcycle for free, anywhere in the UK. When you sell your motorbike to WeBuyAnyBike there are no risks involved, and it's all finalised extremely quickly. We also give instant online motorcycle valuations, so you could have a quote in less then one minute.
If you fancy just checking the value of your bike, all you need is to enter your registration number at WeBuyAnyBike.com or call on 01274 600 224!

WATER INTO WINE BAND
Hill Climbing for Beginners
Probably the best album to appear on the leading Myrrh label, established as a division of Word Records by Billy Ray Hearn in 1972. This was the debut recording for the British outfit, Water Into Wine Band, which appeared in different forms on both sides of the Atlantic in the mid-'70s. Although Myrrh enjoyed some commercial success with cross-over artist Amy Grant, whose secular albums were marketed by A&M and were also able to boast CCM albums from the likes of Billy Preston, Mighty Clouds Of Joy, Al Green and even Cliff Richard, from a musical perspective, Hill Climbing... was in an altogether different league. The band was formed at Cambridge University by four extremely accomplished musicians, two of whom were to go on to perform with a major orchestra, and Hill Climbing..., or at least the UK version presented here (Myrrh, feeling the album too raw for the sensitive American market, shipped the band to the States to do an anodyne re-record), has gone on to achieve the status of a progressive folk masterpiece. The album is beautifully recorded and the exotic array of instruments including bongos, timpani, gongs and violins, combine wonderfully to produce a recording of musical and technical brilliance. An extremely good album and highly recommended.


For children who are tactile defensive, showing physical affection can be particularly tough. My son can barely bring himself to give hugs, let alone a kiss.
While I don't believe in forcing children into giving hugs or kisses, our tactile defensive kiddos also need to understand the importance of connecting with others and being able to show love.
The book Plant a Kiss is about a girl who plants one simple kiss and watches it grow into something much bigger. We use this book as a way to talk about how we have the power to make others feel good and fill up the tanks of those around us.

Digital scholarship rescues ethnographic cookbook from oblivion
LAWRENCE — Cultural anthropologist Laura Hobson Herlihy is from New Orleans, so she knew a thing or two about Caribbean cuisine and culture before she traveled to Honduras on an academic research trip in 1997.
Now, thanks to digital technology and KU Libraries' open-access publishing program, Herlihy's 20-year-old research on Honduran food, folkways and language has been saved from the ravages of time and nature.
"Hauks, Chip, Grate, and Squeeze: Recipes of the Honduran Bay Islands," a revised and expanded edition of Herlihy's 1997 research, has just been digitally published in KU ScholarWorks, KU's online institutional repository of work by faculty, staff and students. Anyone with an internet connection may download it free of charge for noncommercial use.
Herlihy, a lecturer in the Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies, did not travel to Honduras intent on writing an ethnographic cookbook. Rather, she was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to do fieldwork there for her doctoral dissertation on gender, sexuality and money on the Miskito Coast. Herlihy had finished her research and was staying in Honduras with her husband and fellow KU faculty member, Peter Herlihy, professor of geography & atmospheric science, while he completed a mapping project. That's when Laura Herlihy received a call from her mentor, Anita Herzfeld, professor of Latin American studies and KU's specialist in Caribbean forms of English. Herzfeld asked if she would do some research for the Honduran Ministry of Education about bilingual education and Creole English in the country's Bay Islands.
Laura Herlihy was tasked with searching out Bay Island cooks and recording them as they spoke in the local dialect about the foods they made for their families, including iguana, cow-foot soup, pop drink and more.
"The tapes were to go to linguists who would write it out in IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) style and then analyze it to understand more the structure of the language," Laura Herlihy said.
By 1998, she had produced a written report and handed over it and her audio tapes to the ministry in Tegucigalpa. On Oct. 29 of that year, mega-storm Hurricane Mitch struck Honduras, causing widespread flooding. It destroyed the office where Herlihy's report was stored.
Laura Herlihy heard about the destruction, then mostly forgot about the project for 20 years. That's when she began working with Josh Bolick, scholarly communications librarian, and Marianne Reed, digital initiatives coordinator in the KU Libraries, on the 2017 publication of two books: "Green Man, Blue Woman: A Miskitu Operetta Set in the Nicaraguan Rainforest" and "Yamni Balram (Welcome!): A Miskitu Grammar and Workbook," both of which were made freely available through KU ScholarWorks.
"Marianne Reed said, 'Is there anything else you have (to publish)?' and I thought of it," Laura Herlihy said. "I had the only copy, but it was 90 to 100 pages, and I was not inclined to retype it. But now we could scan it automatically and start making a book out of it."
Laura Herlihy obtained permission from the Honduran government to expand the report into a book. She then set to work with Reed and publishing specialist Pam LeRow, illustrating the book with related photographs taken by Herlihy and friends. Laura Herlihy wrote an introduction, added a glossary of Bay Island English words used in the recipes and their English translations, and indexed the recipes, grouping them by island.
Since the book was published in KU ScholarWorks, Laura Herlihy has been invited back to Honduras by the University Pedagógica in Tegucigalpa and Roatan to share copies of her book with the people of the Bay Islands, whose warm hospitality made the research possible.
And while Laura Herlihy hesitates to compare herself to the late multimedia star Anthony Bourdain, she said that, like him and other "cultural geographers and anthropologists," her ethnographic cookbook, with its descriptions of a people and their cuisine, is an attempt to "use food as a vehicle to learn about a culture."
The title comes from the steps for processing raw coconut – one of the primary foodstuffs in coastal Honduras — into oil, milk or other forms.
Herlihy said her personal favorite recipe is the "rundown" stew — not so different from New Orleans gumbo.
"They say when it runs down ya arm, it's so good ya lick it up," Herlihy said.

Q: Grafana Bar Chart: visualize sum of entries per product type for each month I am trying to visualize following data using the bar chart in Grafana. My datasource is ElasticSearch which gets logmessages like this:

I know want to group these entries by product type and get the sum of all entries for each product type per month. The result should looks like this:

I already managed to get the sum of all entries per product type:
But I do not know how to get the sum per product type for each month. Any ideas on how to achieve this?

A: So, what you need over here is grouping by Date Histogram field on your data and then aggregating or bucketing on the product type.

So as you can see in the image above, what you need to do is first grouping by "Date Histogram" with the field (looks like fieldname is "timestamp", in your case) on which you want to bucket on. The interval you can specify depending upon your need like hourly,daily,monthly or you can leave it to 'auto' as well.
Once that is then, you next need to bucket on the product types like you mentioned above.
Once you do this, I think you'll be good to go.
To cross-check exactly what is happening behind the scenes, you can click on "Query Inspector" on top-right of panel and view the query as JSON as well.
In the example that I have shown, the following is generated:

}

You can ignore the surrounding information since this is dummy data after all.
You can also refer the following link : Date Histogram Community Question

For others who might have a similar query but related to Kibana, it is rather even simpler in it. In visualization tab, select your index.
Step 1: First select the "Date Histogram" field and select what index field you want to use.

Step 2: Then select "Terms" and select the index field you want to use.

Step 3: Visualization is ready.

Not Eyeless in Gaza
by Michael Curtis
Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar
It's still the same old story, a fight for semantic glory. This time the fight is to define "proportionate." More familiar is the buzzword "disproportionate," frequently and automatically uttered in meetings of United Nations bodies and by the majority of the "international community" when referring to the actions of the State of Israel and its citizens. Once again in recent weeks the UN Security Council in this fashion condemned the killing by Israeli forces of civilians during protests at the border fence between Israel and the Gaza Strip on March 30, 2018 and April 6-20, 2018, that had erupted in violence.
On May 15, 2018 the proposal in the UNSC condemned the "excessive use of force against unarmed civilians" after Israeli forces had clashed with Palestinian protestors in the Gaza Strip. The protestors, trying to breach the Israeli fence on the dividing line betweeen the Gaza Strip and Israel, burned tires, used fire bombs and stones. Israeli forces responding to the provocation killed 62 and injured more than a thousand. No Israelis were killed. International criticism focused on Israel's "disproportionate use of military force."
All democratic nations and some of the moderate Arab nations accept the reality that Israel, like every other state, has a right to defend its borders. Even the UN Security Council knowledges this, even if begrudgingly, but always limits it to a more "proportionate resonse." The international pronouncement is always for Israel to refrain from "excessive use of force," to respect the principle of proportionality in its use of force when defending its security interests. The mild admonition to Palestinians, especially to Hamas, is "avoid provocation."
The missing factor is that the "principle of proportionality" is never defined. Does it mean that the same number of Israelis and Palestinians must be killed to ensure equality? The essential reality is that there is no cycle of violence in the Gaza Strip or anywhere in the area in relations between Israel and Palestinians. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is one in which for 70 years Israel has defended itself against threats to its existence or against challenges to its sovereignty as the Hamas organized protests showed in March and April 2018.
A continuing part of that threat has come from inhabitants in the Gaza Strip where two million live in an area of 141 square miles, one of the most densely populated places in the world, where 65% are in poverty 44% are unemployed, and most young people don't work. Hamas may, in part, be concerned to alleviate those poor conditions, but its main objectives are to continue the struggle against Israel, by terror, explosives, tunnels, rockets, and destroying the border fence, and also to seize leadership of the whole Palestinian movement from its rival Fatah and its leader Mahmoud Abbas.
The Gaza Strip has alway been a troubled area. Hamas has added to the problem by its corruption and incompetence, and rivalry with Fatah. In its three wars against Israel it has been guilty of war crimes by using civilian facilities, schools, hospitals, and mosques, for military purposes, firing rockets on Israeli territory, and building tunnels to infilitrate into Israel. Its rivalry with Fatah and the PLO has led Abbas to impose sanctions, and to cut supplies of medicine and payment for Gaza's electricity.
Disagreements exist on the nature of a boycott or controls by Israel of Gaza, but Israel now allows a number of Gazans to enter the country to work, as well as allowing 800 trucks of supplies to enter every day. By contrast, Hamas has not only not renounced violence, but also has refused to allow Israeli trucks with medical supplies from entering its space.
Four things were left unsaid by many in the "international community" concerned with Gaza. The first is the refusal of Hamas to abide by international agreements. The Peace Treaty of March 26, 1979 between Israel and Egypt agreed on the recognized international boundaries between the two countries, "without prejuduce to the issue of the status of the Gaza Strip." The Oslo Accords II, signed first at Teba on September 24, 1995, and then again on September 28, 2018 in Washington, D.C. by Israel Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat. aimed to set up a "Palestinian interim self-government authority" for the Palestinian people in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Hamas still struggles with Fatah over control of that self government authority,
A second fact is that at least 50, of the 62 Palestinians killed were not "civilians," but were members of Hamas, and another three belonged to Islamic Jihad, all terrorists who were instructed to bring a knife, dagger, or gun to the anti-Israeli demonstrations. Although Israel in 2005 withdrew all civilian settlements and all its military forces from the Gaza Strip, violence, especially after the emergence of Hamas, continued. To contain this, Israel built fences, physical barriers, one inside Gaza and the other along the Israeli line. For security reasons, Israel controls air and sea approches, and imposed a blockade, by sea as well as by land.
The third issue is that the protests that began in March 2018 were supposedly based on the March of Return, the right for Palestinian refugees to return to the homes and villages which they left , or in Palestinian language were "forcibly expelled by Zionist militias" in 1948. About this reasons for this departure, there will always be dispute, but the key meaningful present issue is that at most 30,000 of the original estimated 700,000 who left their homes in 1948, as result of the invasion by five Arab armies immediately Israel was created, are still alive. It is doubtful that international law would recognize grandchildren and great-grandchildren of those who left as genuine refugees.
Above all, and the fourth issue, the real purpose of the March has been made amply clear in the past and now by recent statements of Hamas leaders, Yahya Sinwar, now political leader of Hamas, founder and leader of the terrorist Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades in Gaza, and Ismail Haniyeh, former political head, and since May 2017 in charge of the Hamas political bureau since May 2017. The contribution of Sinwar, on the U.S. terrorist list since 2015, is that Hamas does not discuss recognizing Israel, it discussses wiping it out. "We will take down the border, and tear the hearts from their bodies."
Haniyeh is no Mother Theresa, He calls for ending the Oslo Accords, for the Intifada to bring about a general "confrontation" with the "occupation" and for there to be no abandonment of Al-Quds, the mosque on the Temple Mount. The blessed Intifada will continue until the "holy city" is liberated, which implies the elimination of Israel. Not surprisingly he was named by the U.S. State Department as "Specially Designated Global Terrorist" on January 31, 2018.
The troublesome Gaza issue been aggravated and made disproportionate, instead of helped, by international organizations, particularly the UN Human Rights Council , UNHRC. In March 2016 Michael Lynk, Canadian professor of law, was appointed by it to be special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Palestinan territories, a position held earlier by Richard Falk whose reports were criticised as biased and disproportionate with its focus on Isrsael. The disproportion continues with Professor Lynk who cannot be regarded as a neutral political figure. In 1989 he worked in Palestinian refugee camps. On September 14, 2001 he blamed "global inequalities" for 9/1. He also blamed it on Western disregard for the international rule of law, but later disavowed this by saying his views were misrepresented.
Lynk in 2013 called for Israel to be brought before the International Court of Justice. He sees the Israeli "occupation" as a legal oxymoron, an unlawful occupation without end. On current events he said that the "blatant excessive use of force by Israel against Gaza, an eye for an eyelash," must end. In a statement on October 26, 2017, he indicated that increased pressure on Israel would lead to a sea change in the attitude of Israeli citizens, and the Israeli government.
Lynk's advice is unsound and counterproductive. He should be calling on Hamas to end its objective of destroying Israel, and as a start to stop displaying flags with swastikas at its demonstrations. He should define and clarify "proportionate response" by Israel when confronted by terrorist attacks on its border.
Perhaps little can be done about the increasing misery of the Gazan population because of Hamas incompetence, corruption, and oppressive rule. The international community should call on Arab countries, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan, to persuade Hamas and other militant Palestinans to renounce violence, give up the idea of armed stuggle to destroy Israel, and come to the negotiating table. The world will always welcome efforts of this kind as time goes by.

State radio says the freed captives include 10 Chinese and the wife of a vice prime minister.
Cameroon's government announced that 27 hostages presumed to have been kidnapped by Boko Haram, including 10 Chinese construction workers and the wife of a vice prime minister, have been freed.
The hostages were returned early on Saturday morning and "are safe and sound,'' according to a statement from President Paul Biya's office read on state radio, the Associated Press news agency reported.
A local religious leader was also abducted in the July attack and released Saturday, according to the Cameroon government statement.
Boko Haram never claimed responsibility for the kidnappings, but both incidents raised concerns that the Nigeria-based rebels were expanding their operations in Cameroon as the government became increasingly involved in regional efforts to contain them.
Cameroon says it does not pay ransoms in kidnapping cases, and Saturday's brief statement provided no details on the conditions of the hostages' release.
Government spokesman Issa Tchiroma Bakary said he could provide no details. On Friday he claimed to have no knowledge of ongoing negotiations.
On Wednesday, however, witnesses said Ferdinand Ngoh Ngoh, the secretary-general of Cameroon's presidency, arrived in Maroua, the capital of the Far North region, fueling speculation that negotiations were reaching a conclusion.
Ngoh Ngoh was credited with sealing the release of other high-profile hostages, including a French priest kidnapped last November and freed the following month.
