Let's get to the Philadelphia Eagles links ...
'A Philly Special Christmas' Hits No. 1 on Compilations Chart, Top 10 on Album Sales - Billboard
The charity album A Philly Special Christmas hits the top 10 on four Billboard album charts, including a No. 1 re-entry on the Compilation Albums tally and a No. 9 debut on Top Album Sales. Led by Philadelphia Eagles players Jason Kelce, Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata, the seven-track set includes renditions of holiday favorites such as "White Christmas" and "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town." All profits from the album benefit Philadelphia's Children's Crisis Treatment Center.
Jalen Hurts needs to put an end to the Eagles struggles - BGN
But without Jalen Hurts the Eagles haven't looked much better. Because of his missed time Jalen Hurts isn't going to win MVP. Even if healthy, Hurts was highly unlikely to win the award, voters prefer established players and big stats, Hurts had neither going for him this season. The only 25 and under QBs to win MVP were also league leaders: Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes led the league in TDs in 2019 and 2018, Bert Jones led the league in passing yards in 1976, Dan Marino did both in 1984. Hurts' absence both took him out of whatever contention he was in. But it also strengthened his case as one of the league's most valuable and important players this season. Gardner Minshew gave a standard issue middling backup QB performance in relief. He was no less effective than Teddy Bridgewater, Cooper Rush, or PJ Walker. It completely erased the notion that Jalen Hurts is a product of the system, and reinforced the idea that Hurts is the system.

Shane Haff shares his thoughts on Damar Hamlin, recaps the Eagles' brutal performance against the Saints, explains why Kyzir White is a problem for the Birds' defense and previews the Eagles game against the Giants.
It's looking more like Brian Daboll and the Giants will rest key starters against the Eagles on Sunday - PhillyVoice
It appears as though some of their best players will get some added rest. Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News hinted strongly at the Giants resting starters. Leonard expanded on that sentiment in an article: "But it appears to be trending toward several starters resting, including banged-up starters like [DL Leonard] Williams (neck) and healthy players, too... By rule, the media is not allowed to report on specific personnel deployment at practice. Candidates to play either a little bit or not at all, though, include players such as quarterback Daniel Jones, running back Saquon Barkley, left tackle Andrew Thomas, center Jon Feliciano, right guard Mark Glowinski, defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence and inside linebacker Jaylon Smith, just to name a handful."
Game Review – Saints 20, Eagles 10 - Iggles Blitz
Let's start with the obvious…the Eagles played their worst game of the year. They had a very winnable game that would have given them the freedom to rest players in Week 18. Unfortunately, the Eagles played poorly and lost. The biggest reason for the loss is the play of Gardner Minshew. He played well in Dallas so expectations were high on Sunday. Based on the way he played, Minshew might have been high himself. That was a stinker and it hurt the Eagles present and his future. Now the Eagles are in a must-win situation against the Giants. No relaxing or resting players. Win and you get it all (division title, #1 seed). Lose and you are a wild card team and the #5 seed.

Despite his Giants being locked into the No. 6 seed, Brian Daboll started the week talking tough about playing starters. By Wednesday, he said the team would make a decision on Friday after talking to the front office. Even if the G-Men are playing their best football this year and are healthier than ever on defense, a fully loaded squad would be no lock to compete for four quarters against the Eagles. My guess is we don't see a lot of Saquon Barkley or Daniel Jones.
Week 18 NFL Picks Against the Spread - The Ringer
Jalen Hurts was a limited practice participant Thursday, and it sounds like there's a good chance the Eagles will get him back for this game, although nothing is certain. The Eagles need a win or losses by the Cowboys and 49ers to lock up the no. 1 seed in the NFC. If they lose here and the Cowboys win, the Eagles would fall all the way down to no. 5 and would have to travel to Tampa in the wild-card round. The Giants have nothing to play for here. They're locked into the no. 6 seed, and even though Brian Daboll won't come out and say it, it'd be a stunner if they played their starters. The best-case scenario for the Eagles: Hurts returns and looks good. They get the bye and the no. 1 seed. They go into the divisional round with all 11 regular starters on offense healthy and ready to go (this would require right tackle Lane Johnson to come back, in addition to Hurts). I think the Eagles win comfortably, but this is a big number. The pick: Giants (+14)
NFL Week 18 picks against the spread: Vic Tafur's predictions - The Athletic
Jalen Hurts is almost assuredly back to knock some rust off, while the Giants may not play their starters long as they are locked into their playoff spot. The Eagles' running game will obviously get a boost with the return of Hurts. With him, they averaged 2.77 yards before contact per carry, had a 50.6 percent success rate and were running into boxes of eight or more 37.2 percent of the time. Without him, that dropped to 0.95 yards before contact per carry, a 33.9 percent success rate and running into boxes of eight or more 46.9 percent of the time. This number has flown up to 14 points, which I think is just disrespectful to Giants backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor. The pick: Giants +14
NFL Week 18 picks, schedule, playoff scenarios, odds, injuries, stats - ESPN
Bold prediction: The Giants keep this game close, despite resting some of their top players. This has been a pesky bunch for the most part, minus the 26-point loss to the Eagles in their previous meeting. Who cares if the Giants are 14-point underdogs in this one? They will give the Eagles fits with that fourth-ranked rushing attack.
Spadaro: How does the offense get back on track Sunday? - PE.com
What they've looked at over and over again and are excited to correct on Sunday in this Week 18 game against the Giants are the mistakes they made last week. The pre-snap penalties. The missed assignments. The opportunities not taken advantage of. This is the nature of football: On the path to unattainable perfection, mistakes are made, mistakes are fixed, and performance is restored. "There is no doubt we're going to get back on track. We have so much talent here and we've done it all season," tight end Dallas Goedert said on Thursday. "The last two weeks haven't gone the way we wanted them to go, but we're resilient and we have that dawg mentality and we're going to bounce back. We're sitting here in Week 18 playing for the division title, the conference No. 1 seed, and we want to play our kind of football. We killed ourselves last week, a lot of self-inflicted wounds against a good team, a good defense. We've just got to go out there and play good football and control what we can control and put a full game together. I'm looking at as a positive that we're in the position we're in. It would be great if we can get off to a good start and jump out early and go from there. We want to get into a rhythm on that first drive. When you go three and out, you don't have many 'tells' about what they're going to do against certain personnel packages that we put out there. It feels like you're playing catch-up the whole game when you start things that way."
Quinn hoping to finally live up to trade expectations - NBCSP
"The numbers weren't there but I felt like I was doing alright," Quinn said. "But that's in the past. Hopefully come Sunday, I can get back on track." The expectations for Quinn won't be too high but with some uncertainty about Josh Sweat — who suffered a scary neck injury on Sunday but said he'll return at some point this season — Quinn might be able to help. And he'll be pretty motivated, especially when the Eagles get into the postseason. Quinn, 32, has been in the NFL since 2011 and has played in just two total playoff games — a loss with the Rams in 2017 and a loss with the Bears in 2020. "I'll tell you about it when we get to the postseason, when all that happens," Quinn said. "I don't want to look too far ahead. … Hopefully, I have a better story for you in a few weeks from now."
NFL Week 18 picks, predictions: Eagles overwhelming choice to defeat Giants - Big Blue View
Can the New York Giants wreck the Philadelphia Eagles' hopes of getting the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs with an upset victory Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field? The Giants, already locked in the No. 6 seed and 26-point losers to the Eagles at home four weeks ago, are massive 14-point underdogs. Your Big Blue View staff members, and 99 percent of those who have so far picked the game at Tallysight, are going with the Eagles. Let's find out why, and check all of our NFL Week 18 picks.
Cowboys face player management decisions against the Commanders - Blogging The Boys
The worst thing of course would be for this game to go right down to the wire, with Dallas having to play as hard as they can to try and secure a win that still could be meaningless overall if Philadelphia tops New York. The schedulers did the Cowboys no favors by having the two games going on simultaneously, although it was a no-brainer for maximizing viewer interest. Some scoreboard watching is going to be inevitable, as a blowout one way or another in the Giants-Eagles game could influence things, especially if Philly is on the winning side of a blowout.

Ron Rivera stated during his Wednesday press conference that his team did some really good things and played pretty good football. Then some things happened that they couldn't sustain.
UC Medical Center updates the status of Damar Hamlin in his recovery - Buffalo Rumblings
Two of the doctors who revived and continue to support Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin following his cardiac arrest on Monday night took questions for nearly a full hour Thursday afternoon. In a wide-ranging Q&A, they answered about the immediate care on the field, the progress he's made in the hospital, and his future. They started with the information that's already been reported: "He's made substantial improvement," said Dr. Timothy Pritts of UC Health. "It appears his neurological condition and function is intact. We are very proud to report that. This marks a really good turning point in his ongoing care."
NFL teams to vote Friday on proposed modification to the AFC playoffs - SB Nation
On Friday, all 32 NFL teams will hold a Special League Meeting to consider a resolution recommended by Commissioner Roger Goodell and approved on Thursday by the league's Competition Committee to modify the AFC playoffs. The resolution comes in the wake of the league's decision to cancel Monday night's game between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals, after Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest in the first quarter. In a statement released on Thursday night, the NFL noted that the proposal to be considered considered the following key factors. First, canceling the Bills-Bengals game would not impact what teams qualified for the postseason. The only ramifications from canceling the game impact seeding, and the AFC North title. Second, rescheduling that game would require pushing back the playoffs one week, impacting all teams that qualify for the postseason. Third, reaching a resolution prior to the start of Week 18 is "consistent" with the league's competitive principles, and allows all teams to know the possibilities before their final game of the regular season. The proposal to be considered addresses two elements: The AFC Championship Game, and the AFC North division title.

Trust Your Instincts Most of the time, you can spot an online dating scammer by trusting your instincts—if something looks off, be extra wary.
Victims of romance scams often end up abetting the scammers in other crimes. Debt collection horror stories For Best, it all started when she signed up for a free online dating site called mingle2. Try to Stop the Transfer.
I played him for a while to see was this real or not but told him I would in no way do anything that would require me using my personal information. However, for people who know what to look for, there are often red flags that reveal something is amiss. If you fall into this category, be especially wary of people that you meet through dating websites.
Army's Criminal Investigation Command says they receive hundreds of reports every month from people fooled by phony service members. Contact the local police and the online platform where the scammer found you.
CNNMoney's attempts to reach "John" on his international phone number provided by Best revealed that it was based out of Nigeria -- a hotbed for online scams -- and has since been disconnected.
You might think that being scammed once would make people more cautious in the future, but often, their response is just the opposite. Long hours and unregulated working schedules leave no chance for love and romance. However, they tend to target people living in developed nations, who are more likely to have money to spare.
Be especially cautious with people you only know through online messages and phone calls. Scammers can also cause a lot of trouble for the people — usually men — whose images they steal to create their fake identities.
Meet in Real Life. Not Being Able to Meet While the British scammer mentioned in the introduction to this article met his victims in person, most scammers will avoid face-to-face meetings at all costs.
Be cautious if someone claims to be local but happens to be out of the country. A study in Criminology and Criminal Justice found that for most victims, the loss of a relationship they thought was genuine is more devastating than the financial loss. Interestingly, the AARP says that men fall victim to these scams more often, but that women are more likely to report the scam.
Scammers also often list themselves as widowed especially with a childself-employed, or working overseas. Others will impersonate U.
In other cases, they simply demand money from the victims in exchange for a promise to keep the photos private. Inthe FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center received 5, complaints from victims of so-called "romance scammers" -- criminals who scan online dating sites, chat rooms and social networking sites for potential victims.
If they ask you for money, run. Our users base is constantly growing and now numbers more thanactive members.
Reply Link Carole holland July 23,9: The upside of online dating But as he continued to push for money, Best realized something was off. The victims are often happy to pay because they think helping out their love interest will make it easier for them to finally meet in person.
Is this a scam?? He said he needs it to complete an assignment. Here are six things to keep in mind to help you spot and avoid scammers on online dating sites.
Many victims described the experience as traumatic, and most reported that friends and family showed little understanding or support. He has sent me pics of him in uniform.
They then sell those lists to other criminals, exposing their victims to additional scams. I guess i just need to hear it from someone else so hard to believe these guys are good and i fell in Tinder like dating sites and i know im not alone Stacey Abler July 27, Reply Link Yr August 25,8: And that number may only represent a fraction of the real total.

Gearing Malaysia Towards Living with Covid-19
Central Executive Committee Report Presented in Party National Conference 2014
The National Conference 2014 is held at One City, USJ 25, Subang Jaya, on the 14th December 2014, following the 16th National Congress on 15th and 16th December 2012 in Penang and the re-balloting for the existing Central Executive Committee (CEC) on 29th September 2013 in Petaling Jaya.
The theme for this Conference is "Berat sama dipikul, ringan sama dijinjing." This is an old Malay saying to reflect the DAP's commitment to the solidarity of all Malaysians towards unity, tolerance, social justice and equal opportunities for all.
STATE OF THE PARTY
The DAP vs ROS
Since the electoral success of 2008, the UMNO-controlled Barisan Nasional has been attacking the DAP day and night. The reason is simple: if Malaysians, especially the Malays can accept the DAP or non-racial politics, it will spell the end of racial politics. UMNO-BN's relentless hostile actions even amounted to attempts by the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to ban DAP on the eve of the 13th General Election in 2013. We refused to back down and we have won the first round.
Then the ROS came charging at us. And again, a great legal and political battle was won, when the ROS was forced to concede in court after being sued by DAP, that ROS's directive that the party's rightful central executive committee, elected on the 29th September 2013 ought not to make decisions for the DAP as it was not recognized, was not legally binding.
Although DAP was constrained to agree to the ROS's earlier demand of conducting fresh party elections, at risk of being de-registered, and we did hold this reelection but under protest, we worked in solidarity and proved that we will never be defeated. Although the threats are there, we will continue with our struggle. We have faith in each and every one of the Party members will do his/her best to defend our rights to exist.
The loss of our beloved leaders
It is with deepest regret and sadness that we mourn the passing of our party stalwarts who had given us most of their life to build a new Malaysia based on true democracy, justice and equal opportunity. We bid them farewell and we extend our condolences to their respective family members.
Sdr Karpal Singh
Our Party Chairman Sdr Karpal Singh, who has been the voice of conscience to our nation, tragically left us on the 17th April 2014. Yet even until his final moments, he was fighting the fight that many of us admired and followed him for as a fearless leader. In his sacrificial move of resigning as party chairperson on the 29th March 2014, to remove all possibilities of our party being incarcerated by UMNO-BN's persecutions, we saw the true spirit of Karpal and unparalleled leadership in the tiger that he was. Sdr. Tan Kok Wai assumed the position of acting National Chairman.
Sdr Seah Leong Peng
Our three-term state assembly veteran and first term Parliamentarian, Sdr Seah Leong Peng's departure on 1st May spelt another painful bereavement for the party. He was a true testament to the power of dedication and unfettered hard work in building a strong grassroots support.
Sdr Wong Ho Leng
The party was plunged into further sorrow and despair, when on the 21st June, the then Chairman of DAP Sarawak Sdr Wong Ho Leng, passed away after a long battle with illness. Such was the admiration he held among friends and political opponents, that unreservedly positive tributes and condolences poured in from both sides of the political divide. Sdr Ho Leng's legacy will remain strong in the ever growing influence and current leadership of DAP Sarawak that he has built over the years.
MAJOR POLITICAL EVENTS
The 13th General Election
Despite the overwhelming advantage of money, machinery and media enjoyed by the BN, Pakatan still won an additional 7 parliament seats, from 82 in 2008 to 89 in 2013 with 52 percent of popular vote. Pakatan won an additional 32 state seats; with the DAP convincingly gaining 22 seats, PKR 8 and PAS 2.
The DAP recorded its best performance in history by winning 38 parliamentary and 107 state seats. We also have elected representatives from all races – Malays, Chinese, Indians, and our first Kadazandusun wakil rakyat. We are proud to have our first female Indian MP and Assemblyperson.
The DAP also has the averagely youngest delegation of elected representatives among all parties. Of the current 37 MPs from the DAP, four were born after 1980; of the current 104 state assemblymen, 21 were born after 1980. Five out of 13 Johor DAP State Assemblypersons were born after 1980. The DAP also has the highest proportion of women among candidates. These are our strengths that we must continue to build upon in order to be the choice party of all Malaysians. We walk the talk.
The Bukit Gelugor and Teluk Intan by-elections
The Bukit Gelugor Parliamentary seat was vacant because of Sdr Karpal's departure. With 89% of the electorate granting DAP a resounding victory, the party welcomes Sdr Ramkarpal Singh into the frontlines of Malaysian politics. The Teluk Intan Parliamentary seat was vacant because of Sdr Seah Leong Peng's departure. Despite the 31st May defeat of the Teluk Intan parliamentary by election by a mere 238 votes, party novice Sdr Dyana Sofya Mohd Daud has risen to the expectations, challenges and demands in the quest to realise the dream of a Malaysian Malaysia.
Selangor – from Kajang Move to a new Selangor Menteri Besar
The "Kajang move" has been a matter of huge contention both within the public sphere as well as within the party. The DAP was locked in a political scuffle to determine the new Menteri Besar to replace the problematic Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim of PKR. Such an episode has tainted Pakatan Rakyat, including the antics of PAS top leadership in handling the issue, as it had given the impression to the public that there was no unity among the coalition. The outcome of the aforementioned negativities did however manage to resolve political impasse. The CEC and the leadership of the Selangor DAP will continue to play its role of a strong partner in democracy.
Sedition charges against DAP & Pakatan Rakyat Leaders
Sdr Teresa Kok, Sdr R S N Rayer, Sdr Karpal Singh; these are our leaders and comrades who are facing the full wrath of the Sedition Act 1948. Sdr Khalid Samad, Sdr N Surendran, Sdr Tian Chua are also victims of this cruel colonial law, together with civil society leaders and activists such as Prof Azmi Sharom, Ms Susan Loone, Safwan Anang, Abu Bakar Baikalani Abu Hassan, Ustaz Wan Ji Wan Hussein and many more. It also exposed Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak as the leader whose words can never be trusted again as he had promised to abolish the draconian law, and yet reneged on his own words, merely to please the extremist faction of UMNO during the recent UMNO general assembly.
The case of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim
The two sham and shameful sodomy trials perpetrated by UMNO-BN to destroy Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and the reform agenda have come to a head, with all of us waiting for the Federal Court's decision. DAP stands unreservedly in full solidarity and will give all support necessary and possible to DSAI, his family and all involved should the worst case prevails.
The DAP is and will always be a non-ethnic multiracial party whose sole aim is to democratise Malaysia based on freedom, social justice and equal opportunities for all. It is never a party that fights only for a particular race or religion. It is the party for all.
With such a noble aim. UMNO-BN has always been uneasy with the DAP's existence. With the victory of 2008 and again in 2013, the UMNO propaganda machine has upped the ante to destroy DAP's credibility by spreading lies, deception and malicious rumours, especially among the Malays. UMNO's greatest fear is that Malays may one day reject racial politics, and without the Malay support, it will the end of UMNO.
The DAP since 1966 has been trying very hard to bring in members from all races. But the aforementioned dirty strategies and tactics by UMNO and the state agencies made it difficult for our Party to reach out to the Bumiputera, especially the Malays. Yet the DAP never gives up and keep finding ways to reach out to all Malaysians.
The theme for the 2014 National Conference – "Berat sama dipikul, ringan sama dijinjing" – is DAP's response to the challenges of our time. With a looming economic slowdown, if not a crisis as yet, UMNO's hate machine will continue to attack the DAP and Pakatan Rakyat.
Inequality in Malaysia is one of the worst in Asia, as a result of policies of the ruling UMNO-BN for nearly past six decades. However inequality is not racial and shouldn't be treated racially. We must never make the mistake of looking at things racially; that's the game of UMNO-BN. In a slowdown and difficult financial moments ahead, the DAP must offer our message of hope, as well as explaining to the nation that we have more than enough for the need of all, but not the greed of the UMNO-linked selected few.
Not only that DAP is at the forefront of calling for a moderate Malaysia, what is crucial for the years ahead is to take cognizance of the primacy of economic debate. We must provide an economic vision to convince all that Malaysia can be a great economy, and a great nation, with a new government. And a great economy means virtuous cycle of higher wages, better skills and productivity gains; with no corruption, no monopolies or oligopolies, as well as one that the government leads with vision, regulates without fear or favour, and provides great public services like education, health, public transport and decent housing that move the nation forward.
To move the nation forward, we must also address geographical divide to provide greater opportunities for Sabah, Sarawak and semi-urban areas. A nation in solidarity with its people sharing a destiny is our response to racism, religious extremism, hatred and divisiveness.
Roketkini.com and The Rocket – Edisi Bahasa Malaysia
In May 2011, the DAP launched its first Bahasa Malaysia news website Roketkini.com. The purpose is to reach out to Bahasa-speaking Malaysians, especially the Malays. With a skeleton crew of 5 people, Roketkini manages to spreads party news and information in the cyberworld. The Roketkini staff also manage the now-regular monthly printed publication of the Rocket – Edisi Bahasa Malaysia. It's distributed free to all branches who ordered copies from the HQ.
Sekolah Demokrasi
However, realising that party publicity through the website as well as its Facebook is not adequate, the DAP launched Sekolah Demokrasi (SekDem) by the end of 2011. The purpose is to bring together a small group of Bahasa-speaking people, most of them Malays, to learn and share about democracy, social democracy and the struggle of the DAP. We have had about a dozen programmes, training some 150 participants. These are young people aged between 18 and 30. Among the party leaders who had lectured at SekDem were Anthony Loke, Tony Pua, Liew Chin Tong, Zairil Khir Johari, Steven Sim, Wong Shu Qi and Dyana Sofia (Dyana is also a SekDem alumnus). Roketkini.com staff Edry Faizal and Iza Suraiya are coordinating SekDem with our chief trainer Ustaz Hakim Ramlee.
Our dream is to make them become Malaysian democrats. Our aim is to get them, some if not all, to be with the party, to fulfil the hope of serving the interest of the people through the DAP. This means we hope for these young Malay democrats to become branch leaders, state leaders, local councillors, and perhaps our election candidates in the future. This is our hope for a better tomorrow.
Impian Malaysia
Impian Malaysia is the DAP's initiative to inform, inspire, educate, engage, and empower Malaysians. Among other things, it envisions a plural society, united as one people rising above ethnic, religious, cultural and linguistic differences; to celebrate diversity, tolerance and open-mindedness, and to reject hatred, prejudices and extremism. Impian Malaysia is about sharing, caring and being with the people through activities such as building rural infrastructural projects, participating in educational programmes and joining youth empowerment initiatives. These are fun, jolly and happy activities; and have managed to attract the participation of young people.
Programmes have begun since 2013 with the launch of Impian Sarawak where DAP leaders and members with volunteers worked hand in hand with local villagers to build basic infrastructure such as roads, water and electricity supply, and other amenities. From Sarawak to Impian Sabah, and now the Impian projects are in the Peninsula with the Orang Asli community.
We hope to get more participation from young Malays which is still lacking at the moment. We hope that with more interactions and coordination among alumni of Sekdem and new Malay members with the younger members of the Party can spark more inclusive programmes for the year 2015 onwards.
National retreat in June
The CEC also resolved to and carried out a National Leadership retreat for all elected lawmakers of the party, themed 'New politics, New frontier'. The outcome of the retreat was the formation of several semi-formal caucuses, namely the Urban Governance Caucus, the Semi-Urban Caucus, the Impian Malaysia Caucus, and the Green Caucus. The caucuses would provide the platform for debates and discussion among party leaders, as well as to arm the membership with a new level of policy discourse for public dissemination.
Urban Governance Caucus meeting on 24th July 2014
Following the formation of the Urban Governance Caucus, its members conducted a two-day policy meeting in Penang, hosted by Penang DAP. The meeting produced several sub-groups focusing on Transport and mobility, Solid Waste Management, Urban Planning and Community building. There was also an overriding consensus that the caucus arrangement provided a platform for focussed sharing of best practices; and the main caucus and its sub-groups have, until present maintained a high level of ongoing communication and in depth discussions.
Gelang Patah Declaration Caucus meeting on 25th July 2014
On 31st March 2013, the DAP Gelang Patah Declaration "A Vision and Strategy for Indian Empowerment" was formally launched in Gelang Patah at a historic meeting attended by DAP national, state and local leaders. On the 25th July 2014, a conference was held to elaborate on the thus far delivered policies and actions pledged in the declaration; and also to forge stronger plans to embolden the agenda set by the declaration moving forward
Semi-urban Caucus meeting on 19th and 20th September 2014
It was identified that the semi urban constituency was an area that presents the most opportunities for the party's growth. The Semi Urban Caucus organised a conference in Johor, specifically focussing on the political aspects of venturing into semi-urban grounds, by inviting leaders with relevant and longstanding experiences to share thoughts and methods that have aided their successes to date. Discussions include areas of policy such as the Localisation agenda, Agriculture, Horticulture and Fishery Policies., as well as the findings of an independently conducted poll on the semi urban constituency.

Ecovis Global > No deal Brexit: the implications for foreign nationals
No deal Brexit: the implications for foreign nationals
As part of the UK Government's contingency planning for a "no deal" scenario, a new policy paper has been published setting out the proposed rights of European Economic Area, EEA, and Swiss nationals arriving in the UK after 29th March, 2019, if no deal is agreed with the EU. Hesham Shoeb, Employment & Immigration Associate at Barlow Robbins LLP (Ecovis UK), discusses the status of EU nationals in the UK in the event of a "no deal" Brexit.
It is proposed that between 30th March, 2019, and 31st December, 2020, EEA and Swiss nationals will be able to stay in the UK for up to three months without having to apply for immigration status. They will automatically be granted leave to enter by order, which will mean they can stay for up to three months and will be permitted to work and study, which will mean they can start those activities on arrival.
Those wishing to stay longer than three months will have to apply for a new status called European Temporary Leave to Remain. The application will need to be made online within 3 months of arriving in the UK. Applicants will have to prove their identity and declare any criminal convictions. Anyone considered a serious or persistent criminal threat will not be eligible to apply.
Hesham Shoeb, Employment & Immigration Associate, Barlow Robbins LLP/Ecovis UK, Guildford, Surrey, UK
Anyone from the EEA or Swiss nationals wishing to live, work or study in the UK for more than three months needs to apply in good time for leave to remain.
Those granted European Temporary Leave to Remain will be able to stay in the UK for 36 months from the date of their application. It will be a temporary, non-extendable immigration status, and will not give rise to settlement rights. Non-EEA family members will have to apply for a permit before accompanying them or joining them in the UK.
Irish citizens will not need to apply for European Temporary Leave to Remain, as they will continue to have the right to enter and live in the UK under the Common Travel Area arrangements. EU and Swiss nationals residing in the UK prior to 29th March, 2019, will be able to apply for settled status or pre-settled status when the scheme fully opens on 30th March, 2019.
In 2017 there were 3.63 million EU nationals and some 2.44 million non-EU citizens living in Great Britain.
Source: Statista
After January 2021, EEA and Swiss nationals will have to apply for immigration status under the new immigration system.

Niamh Parsons - Loosen Up
Niamh Parsons
GLCD1167
11 tracks: The Big Bad Wolf * The Briar And The Rose * Clohinne Winds * Closer To You * Fancy Waistcoat * Gently Born / Micky Dans * Heartbound Express * I Know My Faith (Is Worth Much More To Me) * Loosen Up (The Hunter's Purse / Andy Renwick's Ferret) * Reconciliation * Seeing Things.
One of the freshest and most powerful Celtic female vocalists performing today, Niamh (pronounced 'Neeve') Parsons can grace any song style - from an Irish slow air to a moody rocker - with her uncanny ability to wrap herself in the meaning and message of everything she performs. Likened to such singers as Dolores Keane, June Tabor and Mary Black, Niamh's gift for deep-rooted interpretation is unmatched in Celtic music.
Niamh Parsons' popularity has grown steadily following her appearances both live and on record with the award winning group Arcady. The versatile group The Loose Connections shines throughout this recording, especially when working with saxophonist Richie Buckley (Van Morrison Band) and the extraordinary uilleann piper Jerry O'Sullivan.
Other highlights include a guest appearance by Roger Filgate (Wishbone Ash) on lap steel guitar. Produced and arranged by bassist, bandleader Dee Moore (who also wrote a majority of the album's songs), Loosen Up is a beautiful album of touching ballads, eclectic pop songs and genre-stretching instrumentals. The album's style bounces from the cajun flavoring of The Big Bad Wolf to the Spanish moods of Fancy Waistcoat, closing with the a cappella track, Reconciliation.
Niamh Parsons (vocals) with Richie Buckley (saxophone), Roger Filgate (lap steel guitar), Colm Fitzpatrick (bongos, drums), Pat Fitzpatrick (keyboards), Robert Harris (percussion), Jimmy Higgins (drums, percussion, piano), Alan Kelly (accordion), Neil Martin (cello, keyboards), Mick McAuley (button accordion), Fran McPhail (vocals), John McSherry (uilleann pipes, low whistle), Dee Moore (bass), Gerry O'Connor (banjo, fiddle), Jerry O'Sullivan (uilleann pipes) and Gavin Ralston (acoustic guitar).

Шиподзьоб малий (Acanthiza nana) — вид горобцеподібних птахів родини шиподзьобових (Acanthizidae). Ендемік Австралії.

Опис
Довжина птаха становить 9 см, розмах крил 14 см, вага 6-7 г. Голова оливково-сіра. область навколо очей кремова, біля очей невеликі білі смужки. Спина зеленувата, крила оливково-коричневі, махові пера світліші. Хвіст оливково-коричневий, на хвості темна смуга. Горло блідо-жовте, груди кремово-жовті, живіт жовтий, боки блідо-оливкові. Лапи і дзьоб чорні, очі темно-коричневі. Виду не притаманний статевий диморфізм.

Поширення
Малі шиподзьоби є ендеміками Австралії. Вони здебільшого мешкають на східному узбережжі. Живуть в різноманітних середовищах: чагарниках, помірних і евкаліптових лісах.

Підвиди
Виділяють чотири підвиди:
 A. n. flava White, HL, 1922 (схід Австралії);
 A. n. modesta De Vis, 1905 (південний захід і південь Австралії);
 A. n. nana Vigors & Horsfield, 1827 (південний схід Австралії).

Раціон
Малі шиподзьоби харчуються комахами, можуть доповнювати раціон насінням. Вони ловлять комах на верхньому і середньому ярусі лісу; комах ловлять в польоті. Зазвичай вони шукають здобич в парах, хоча були помічені в зграях до 35 птахів.

Розмноження
Гнізда округлої, куполоподібної форми, з невеликим входом зверху. В кладці 2-4 яйця, інкубаційний період триває 16-17 днів.

Збереження
МСОП вважає цей вид таким, що не потребує особливих заходів зі збереження. Однак популяція малих шиподзьобів змешується. Загрозами є знищення природних серекдовищ, пожежі, загибель комах внаслідок обробки полів інсектицидами.

Watch: MacCallum Grills Raffensperger as He Dodges Questions on Leaked Call
Watch: Biden Mocked for Repeating Debunked Amtrak Story Once Again: 'This is Disturbing Stuff'
Watch: Congressman Pushes Back After MSNBC Columnist Says Black Men Live in 'Combat Zones' Because of Police
Fox News host Martha MacCallum grilled Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Monday evening over a phone call that he had with President Donald Trump that was later leaked to The Washington Post.
The phone call was leaked with less than 48 hours before voters head to the polls in Georgia to decide the fate of which party controls the U.S. Senate for the next two years.
MACCALLUM: So, why did you decide to take the phone call this time? What was different this time?
RAFFENSPERGER: I didn't know it was being recorded.
I just was at my home with my wife. And I had it on speakerphone. But I didn't record anything at my house. But I was making notes. But, also, then on Sunday morning, he put out a Twitter. I thought we had a private conversation, just not — left unsaid that it was private, but I just thought it was man to man, just having a conversation, and so — with the president of the United States. But then he goes out on Twitter the next morning and says stuff that's not true. First of all, he releases that we did have a conversation. So, I didn't see what the issue was. Then, obviously, we did have a conversation. The whole world knows.
He's got 80 million Twitter followers. But then he also says stuff that wasn't true and that…
MACCALLUM: All right, so, understood. So…
RAFFENSPERGER: … I was respectful in that.
MACCALLUM: OK. Obviously, you have a big difference of opinion on the way that the vote went in November. But I'm just very curious. We are 24 hours away from an election. So, what was the discussion? You say you didn't realize that the phone call was recorded. At what point did you become aware that the phone call was recorded? And tell us about the decision to release the phone call, the audio of the phone call to "The Washington Post."
RAFFENSPERGER: I think it was after Sunday, when the Twitter came out. I didn't see it, or — anyway, I became aware of it. And, anyway, so that's — recording is out there. And now people can look at what was the entirety of the comments that were said. And then they can see what he said versus what I said. And we…
MACCALLUM: But were you consulted? And did you OK the release of the phone call? Did you say, OK, let's go ahead and release the audio of the phone call?
RAFFENSPERGER: The information is out there. And it is what it is.
MACCALLUM: That's not an answer to my question. Are you going to answer my question? Did you — were you aware of the decision and were you in favor of the decision to release the phone call, sir?
RAFFENSPERGER: I think that we had to respond to the president's Twitter. And we responded with the facts that were in the call. And that's how it got out there.
MACCALLUM: OK.
RAFFENSPERGER: So, now the world can just see what was in there. They can just make up their own decisions, listen to the whole thing, both sides of the aisle, right down the middle.
MACCALLUM: Yes.
RAFFENSPERGER: And they can make their own decisions.
MACCALLUM: All right. So, I mean, that's pretty clear that you were aware that it was going to be released and that you were OK with it. What about the impact on the two Senate elections? Because this has provided, in Governor Kemp's own words, a distraction to the election, when the focus, he believes, should be on David Perdue, who called the release of this disgusting, and Kelly Loeffler. How do you feel about the fact that releasing the phone call has taken up so much of the oxygen in a very important period of time before the election?
RAFFENSPERGER: Well, the issues that President Trump has been raising about all of his contentions that he didn't have a fair vote here in Georgia, that has been a major distraction for the two senators being able to run their race. In fact, he's, in effect, been suppressing Republican turnout. And so, we need to really have a strong Republican turnout. I think — believe that, if you listen to that tape, you will believe that President Trump's big focus is not tomorrow. It's actually Wednesday, January 6.
MACCALLUM: Well, I mean, that may be what his focus is, and we're going to learn more when we see him at the rally this evening. But I just want to ask you once again to respond specifically to Senator Perdue, who said that he thought it was inappropriate and disgusting to release this audio. What — how do you respond to him on that charge?
RAFFENSPERGER: Senator Perdue still owes my wife an apology for all the death threats she got after he asked for my resignation. And I have not heard one peep from that man since. If he wants to call me face to face, man to man, I will talk to him off the record. But he hasn't done that.
MACCALLUM: So, do you think — it feels like this is very much about a grudge and…
RAFFENSPERGER: It's not a grudge at all.
MACCALLUM: Between you and the president, and between you and Mr. Perdue, that…
RAFFENSPERGER: It's really about getting — Martha, it's really about getting the facts out, because we just did a press release today. We did…


Stanislav Kreichi was born 1936 in Kutaisy, Georgia. Sound engineer, composer. Lives and works in Moscow, State University. For more than 50 years he has been working with the ANS synthesizer - a photoelectronic instrument which takes its name from the initials of Russian composer Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin. The ANS synthesizer has been invented in 1938 and designed by Eugene Murzin in 1958, together with a group of engineers and composers. Stanislav Kreichi joined this group in 1961 and with the ANS composed music for several films, performances and shows, e. g. "Into Space" by Andrew Sokolov, "Echo of the Orient". Records in 1997 on MELODY: "ANS". The ANS synthesizer remains a unique apparatus available to only a limited circle of musicians: the single experimental model of the device in existence belonged for a long time to Moscow State University, where a general lack of space and technical support have prevented a widening of the circle of ANS users. Now it stands in the Glinka Museum in Moscow. Although the ANS has not achieved widespread fame, the idea of directly transforming graphic structures into sound structures has not lost it's relevance and can now be used successfully in computer music.


Ralls County is a county located in the northeastern portion of the U.S. state of Missouri. As of the 2010 census, the population was 10,167. Its county seat is New London. The county was organized November 16, 1820 and named for Daniel Ralls, Missouri state legislator.
Ralls County is part of the Hannibal, MO Micropolitan Statistical Area, which is also included in the Quincy-Hannibal, IL-MO Combined Statistical Area.
Ralls County was one of several along the Mississippi River settled in the early years primarily by European-American migrants from the Upper South, especially Kentucky and Tennessee. They brought slaves and slaveholding traditions with them, and quickly started cultivating crops similar to those in Middle Tennessee and Kentucky: hemp and tobacco. They also brought characteristic antebellum architecture and culture. Ralls is considered one of the counties in the outer ring of what is called the Little Dixie region. Most of the Little Dixie counties are located further west along the Missouri River, from Callaway County west.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 484 square miles (1,250 km2), of which 470 square miles (1,200 km2) is land and 14 square miles (36 km2) (2.9%) is water.
As of the census of 2010, there were 10,167 people, 3,736 households, and 2,783 families residing in the county. The population density was 20 people per square mile (8/km²). There were 4,564 housing units at an average density of 10 per square mile (4/km²). The racial makeup of the county was 97.93% White, 1.11% Black or African American, 0.20% Native American, 0.08% Asian, 0.01% Pacific Islander, 0.04% from other races, and 0.62% from two or more races. Approximately 0.44% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race. 30.1% were of American, 27.3% German, 10.5% English and 10.4% Irish ancestry.
There were 3,736 households out of which 34.00% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 64.20% were married couples living together, 6.50% had a female householder with no husband present, and 25.50% were non-families. 21.20% of all households were made up of individuals and 10.00% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.55 and the average family size was 2.95.
In the county, the population was spread out with 25.20% under the age of 18, 7.10% from 18 to 24, 26.90% from 25 to 44, 26.50% from 45 to 64, and 14.20% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 39 years. For every 100 females, there were 100.90 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 98.90 males.
The median income for a household in the county was $37,094, and the median income for a family was $41,955. Males had a median income of $28,139 versus $20,238 for females. The per capita income for the county was $16,456. About 6.60% of families and 8.70% of the population were below the poverty line, including 9.70% of those under age 18 and 10.70% of those age 65 or over.
Historically, the Democratic Party predominantly controlled politics at the local level in Ralls County. However, all local seats up for election with a Republican candidate during the November 2016 election cycle were won by Republicans. Republicans now hold the office of Sheriff, Coroner, and Western District Commissioner.
Ralls County is a part of Missouri's 40h District in the Missouri House of Representatives and is represented by Jim Hansen (R-Frankford).
Ralls County is a part of Missouri's 18th District in the Missouri Senate and is currently represented by Brian Munzlinger (R-Williamstown).
Ralls County is included in Missouri's 6th Congressional District and is currently represented by Sam Graves (R-Tarkio) in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Former U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton (D-New York) received more votes, a total of 823, than any candidate from either party in Ralls County during the 2008 presidential primary.

Compared to Canada, Belgium is an incredibly easy country to get around in. There are loads of buses, trams and metros, but my favorite Belgian travel method is, by far, the train.
Canada has trains of course. However, the golden age of rail that our country was built on is long over.
In the Atlantic Provinces, our passenger rail lines are virtually non-existent. In many towns — my hometown of Saint John included — the passenger lines have been torn out and replaced with walking trails.
Only one passenger train a day leaves Halifax, the largest city east of Quebec. This particular train was my first real experience with passenger rail travel.
As a university student, without a car, I resorted to train travel to get me home for holidays. The train only traveled as far as Moncton, a four and a half hour journey.
From there, I would board a bus that would take me to Saint John. This leg of the trip took several hours as the bus stopped at every small town in between. Six to seven hours later, I would be home.
A round trip journey cost me well over CAD 100. To put it into perspective, a car doing the same journey takes three to four hours and the cost of a tank of gas.
Much as I enjoyed the comfort and relaxation of the train — I would still love to ride the rails across Canada — it wasn't a very practical way to commute.
In Europe, it's a whole different story. I know the European national pastime is complaining about public transportation and my observations will be met with protests from the locals, but after you've dealt with trains in the second largest country in the world, you come to appreciate the speed, cost and efficiency of European rail lines.
My first European train journeys were in the Netherlands. Even in the tiny town we were staying in, the trains stopped every 15 minutes. They were clean, usually only crowded at rush hour and took me anywhere I wanted to go.
I was delighted to find the same situation in Belgium. Even if it is just a trip from home to Brussels, I now take the train a least a couple of times a week.
I wasn't always a train pro though. It took me a while to get the knack of reading the schedules and figuring out which platform to be on. I always worried about catching the wrong train and ending up half-way to Berlin before I noticed.
My fears were realized only once. Of course, I couldn't perpetrate my train blunder alone. I had to have an audience.
Andrew and I were spending August in Amsterdam and I had brought a friend along to show the sights while Andrew was working. I had raved about how easy train travel within Europe was and proposed a day trip.
My friend and I arrived on the platform just as the train was preparing to leave and I hustled us aboard. After what seemed like an inordinately long time, the conductor arrived to check our tickets. I handed mine to him and he looked at me over his glasses.
Instantly I knew I had screwed up. "Utrecht…?" I said in my most pitiful, stupid tourist voice.
"Not on this train you're not," he replied.
He took pity though and told us to get off at the next stop and what platform to stand on. He then scrawled a note on my ticket. I'm sure it read: "Please ensure that these dim-witted tourists make it to Utrecht without further incident".
The conductor on the correct train simply rolled her eyes and handed the ticket back when she read the note.
Despite this minor setback, I am now starting to feel a bit more like a train expert.
I usually board the train at Zaventem Airport. Nothing is better for my train ego than a bunch of lost tourists, just off the plane.
I must at least look like I know what I'm doing because without fail I am asked, in shaky French, if this is the train to Brussels. I recognize the panic stricken looks.
When I reply in English they sigh with relief. I help them to the right train and tell them how many stops to wait before getting off. Most of all, I try to assure them they won't end up in Berlin.

Campbeltown (Scottish Gaelic: "Ceann Loch Chille Chiarain") is a town and former royal burgh in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, located by Campbeltown Loch on the Kintyre peninsula. Originally known as Kinlochkilkerran (Eng: The head of the loch by the kirk of St. Kieran) - this form is still used in Gaelic. It was renamed in the 17th century as 'Campbell's town', Archibald Campbell, Earl of Argyle, having been granted the site in 1667 for the erection of a burgh of barony [3]. Campbeltown became an important centre for shipbuilding and Scotch whisky, and a busy fishing port.
Campbeltown is one of the handful of areas in Scotland categorised as a distinct whisky producing region, and is home to the Campbeltown Single Malts, at one point having 34 distilleries and proclaiming itself "the whisky capital of the world". However, a focus on quantity rather than quality, and the combination of prohibition and the Great Depression in the United States, led to most distilleries going out of business. Today only three active distilleries remain in Campbeltown, which have, or in one case is expected to have, an excellent reputation for their quality.
The well known folk song titled Campbeltown Loch, I wish you were whisky is based on the town's history in this industry.
Source www.bbr.com :
Campbeltown today is a strangely sober and robust town at the end of the Kintyre peninsula. In the middle of the 19th centaury it was a thriving centre for whisky production with the town being home to 34 distilleries at its peak allowing it to proclaim itself to be "the whisky capital of the world". Today there are only two distilleries in Campbeltown, Glen Scotia and Springbank.
Of these two Springbank is by far and away the most successful. The distillery, produces three distinct types of whisky (the only two other distilleries to produce more than one are Loch Lomond and Tobermory).
Springbank is quite unusual in that unlike most brands of whisky it is not chill-filtered, nor does it have colour added. The spirit is aged in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, although Springbank is experimenting with rum casks as well. The standard 10 year old bottling is available at 46% volume, but a 100° proof bottling (at 57% volume) is also available. They also produce a somewhat darker 15 year old. A 21 year old variety of Springbank exists, but is increasingly rare.
Longrow Single Malt is a very heavily peated whisky. The standard Longrow is also a ten year old, matured in ex-bourbon casks, while a Sherrywood 10 year old is also available. There is also an experimental tokaji-cask expression available.
Hazelburn Single Campbeltown Malt was first distilled in 1997. Hazelburn is a triple distilled, non-peated whisky.
Springbank is also one of the very few distilleries in Scotland to perform every step in the whisky making process, from malting the barley to bottling the spirit, on same premises.
In recent years the Springbank distillery has also brought an old distillery back from the dead. Some 200 metres away down a small back street is the Glengyle distillery. In late 2000 the company of Mitchell's Glengyle Ltd. was formed with the express purpose of renovating and rebuilding the Glengyle distillery. Mitchell's are associated with the Springbank distillery and both operations come under the guidance of Mr. Hedley Wright, a descendant of the Mitchell Family, the original owners of both businesses.
Over the next four years the buildings were repaired to an adequate standard, being restored in line with the local area and the buildings' listed building status (Protected by law). A new pair of giant stills from Invergordon, malt mills, a mash tun and washbacks were installed along with all the related equipment. Production at the new Glengyle distillery began in 2004 with the first spirit expected to be ready by 2014. The whisky from the new Glengyle distillery will not be called Glengyle, rather it will be bottled under the name Kilkerran. This is both to avoid confusion with the vatted malt of the same name and also because traditionally, Campbeltown malts are not named after a Glen.
The exception to that rule is of course Glen Scotia. Generally, Glen Scotia is a lightly smoky, salty single malt with a quite concentrated nose and good length despite a delicate structure.

Many years of peace have passed in Maniyadoc – years of relative calm for the assassin Girton Club-Foot. Even the Forgetting Plague, which ravaged the rest of the kingdoms, seemed to pass them by. But now Rufra ap Vythr eyes the High King's throne and will take the court to the capital, a rat's nest of intrigue and betrayal. There the endgame of twenty of politics and murder will be played out in his bid to become the King of all Kings. Friends will become enemies, enemies will become friends and the god of death, Xus the Unseen, stands closer than ever – casting his shadow over everything most dear to Girton.
There is a theory that in comedy the number three turns up because it's the earliest possible time that you can tell a sequence and on the third time wrongfoot the reader. In the last of RJ Barker's Wounded Kingdom trilogy, we as the author have got used to the lives of the assassin Girton Club Foot and his best friend King Rufra in Castle Maniyadoc in stories that are intriguing mixes of epic fantasy, political thriller and murder mystery. But ever since the very end of Age of Assassins when we were abruptly warned that we were actually hearing Girton's confessions there was a niggling suspicion that things would end in a much darker place and now we have arrived at that destination and everything we learnt and assumed over the previous books needs to be rethought because this is the end of one amazing trilogy.
We arrive nearly two decades after the end of Blood of Assassins and there have been many changes since young Rufra ap Vyrthr won his throne after the Battle of the Three Kings. He has brought peaceful democratic changes to his subjects; married twice and now has young children. His former foe Aydor is now a trusted warrior and finally he is protected by his best friend Girton who has moved on from being an angry headstrong warrior to now both his sworn protector, his Death's Jester (think a mixture of priest/storyteller) and behind the scenes his assassin to deal more subtly with threats to his rule. Their Kingdom is strong but Rufra has now been focusing his attention on the centre of the Tired Lands and with the death of the previous ruthless High King then Rufra moves his key family and warriors to Castle Ceadoc to begin the horse-trading with other Kings and interested parties to become the ruler of everything. Girton meanwhile has just lost a close friend during one assassination attempt on Rufra's family and now he follows Rufra suspecting his skilled and dangerous opponent lurks in the shadows ready for a rematch. Everything is primed for a final reckoning.
After reading the previous entries you start to feel off-balance reading this novel. We're now used to the lands and customs of Maniyadoc but suddenly we have moved into Castle Ceadoc is a very different kind of environment – Rufra is shown to be just one faction in a much larger fight for power; other Kings, the mysterious powers that runs the Kingdom; the Landsmen who are sworn to eliminate magic and on the edge the cult known as the Children of Xus. Old foes are returning, and new ones are also revealing themselves at last. Whereas previously Rufra's sense of justice and idealism were strengths to bring people under his banner here they are perceived as dangerous weaknesses preventing his support. This time the stakes are high as whoever gains power could cause issues for Rufra too if he fails. Its an interesting theme that the closer you get to ultimate power then you may have to start sacrificing some ideals to make the alliances and secure your own agenda – will you be the same person you set out to be? Are there always going to be deep seated interests that while they accept the rile of a King re far more comfortable having the power in the shadows to keep the status quo continuing ever onwards?
Tension is constantly escalating in this story with fracturing friendships and grasps for power. A big key to how that is achieved is Castle Ceadoc itself…this environment constantly feels wrong. You will see the title of the Wounded Kingdom in a very different sense after this story. Larger than anywhere else we have seen previously the impression is of a huge sprawling castle of uneven floors; vast towers; narrow winding corridors and hidden depths and terrors luring underneath while everyone is watched by massive statues of the dead gods and other threats lurking in shadows. Girton himself finds his magical abilities abruptly curtailed and everyone feels on edge with a sense that someone or something is watching their every move and preparing their attacks. The pressure mounts and mounts and slowly the strategies of their enemy are revealed who unusually seems to know our main characters and their weaknesses unusually well.
But the focus of the trilogy has been on Girton. We are used to Girton being the outsider in the shadows and hiding his talents each time in a different disguise but this time we have him up front and centre in the court (albeit now dressed in the costume and make up of Death's Jester so much that most people don't recognise him without his costume). Rufra's family and troops know him as a cunning warrior and his reputation as an assassin is now pretty much an open secret. He is comfortable in his skin; still funny but less prone to anger and fear than we've seen before but also feeling the first signs of middle age in his strength and speed. An intriguing development is that due to his prowess Assassins are once again in fashion across the Lands and Girton is both held in esteem and viewed as a great target to test your skills against. It's however much much harder to investigate a murder and conspiracy when you're so famous and everyone wants to meet you and test you are as good as they hear! At the same time Rufra's focus on absolute power is starting to run against Girton's sense of fairness and the two are more likely to fight than agree. All the things we are used to are out of sync…suggesting the centre cannot hold for much longer. Particularly as the one secret Girtin is still hiding is that he is a sorcerer and the one thing Rufra will not accept is magic. Discovery of his last secret means death at the hands of his oldest friend.
Surrounding him and often the heart of the book is the relationships Girton has developed with Merela and Aydor. Merela the woman who found Girton as a child has been a mystery for much of the story. For the first time we see where she comes from and what drove her into becoming an assassin; her motives and journey with Girton need to be reviewed in the light of these revelations. Aydor however has moved from being the bully we loved to hate to the loveable bear of man who in learning to give up power can offer Girton a refreshingly honest opinion as well as being able to deflate his tendency for the dramatic. Because we've journeyed with these two and know how much they now mean their arcs in this story provide the emotional depth and concern as to where they will feature in this final adventure.
The overall feeling you get is we are heading for a mighty climax and Barker has done this skilfully; by the time we enter the final few chapters a scene where characters simply walk up steps slowly is physically and emotionally pounding with a sense that all hell is about to break loose when the final step is loose. We are plunged into kinetic fight scenes where we feel every blow; treated to the assassins' dangerous moves and this time particularly as Girton has embraced his role as an assassin he can when needed create an air of theatricality he uses to terrify and surprise his targets that is delightful just as much as it makes you cheer him on. This time though there is a stronger mythic element to the story previously only hinted at as the focus on the Children of Xus and their very different worship of the God of Death means Girton starts to find himself key to a much more mysterious plan; in scenes both fairy simple but incredibly eerie hinting at something so much bigger under the surface of the physical world.
Having been a huge fan of this trilogy from the day I first opened the book I can say I categorically loved this finale. RJ Barker is proving himself to be one of the most interesting storytellers debuting in the UK and this trilogy is something I think all readers of fantasy need to read. The sequence is fresh, dazzling and most important of all it has emotional depth from the joys of triumph to the despair of loss and grief and seeing how the seeds of the wider story have been planted is a fantastic reading experience. When I first reviewed RJ's Age of Assassins I noted that we tend to think of Robin Hobb as our go to Assassin's story. With the Wounded Kingdom and Girton Club-Foot RJ Barker has matched the story of FitzChivalry Farseer with a compelling lead character and amazingly detailed world perhaps one day there may be more tales about The Tired Lands but safe to say whatever novels await I will be reading them avidly.
