5 days is all it took for me to send an email to a potential business coach and then sign up with them – agreeing to the biggest investment EVER in my 2-year-old agency biz.
How much was this investment, you ask?
$1,000 a month for 4 months.
But at the time I was eager.
And ready to do the damn thing!
At that time, I had grown my personal Instagram account to about 20,000 followers. I knew there was potential to do something there – I just didn't know what exactly.
In the back of my mind, I had a dream of becoming an online course creator. To teach others what I had learned for myself over the past 2 years of being an agency owner and full-time digital nomad.
So when someone recommended a few business coaches in a Facebook group one day, I checked them all out, sent off a few inquisitive emails and within 5 days, I had my very first business coach.
I loved her straight-talkin' energy and her crazy-smart business acumen.
However, I learned a powerful lesson in my first-ever experience with a business coach.
Where she had scaled her business to… I did not want to take my business to.
She was an expert in building a jam-packed agency business. But I wanted to launch and create an online course. Our objectives were not always aligned.
You're getting a super exclusive sneak peek… at my first ever website. Yes - you're thanking my business coach now, too, right?
Very first video and promo for my first live webinar ever… 2 whole years ago!
When you choose a business coach, you need to pick one that has designed a business EXACTLY how you see yours evolving.
Want to book out your client-based business? → Book a coach who successfully does that.
Want to sell evergreen online products? → Hire a coach who has mastered the art of evergreen and is reaping the profits.
Want to offer high-end consulting to corporate clients? → Hire a coach whose business is built off of that very foundation.
Okay, maybe you don't NEED a business coach, but in my humble opinion, it's one of the best investments you can make.
As freelancers and business owners, an outsider's perspective can shake things up in a good way.
A good business coach will help you mold your business around your life (and not the other way around), hold you accountable, and will help to keep you on track.
Okay, so what are the benefits of working with a coach?
Here's how to find a business coach that's going to help you navigate the online world and be the perfect fit for YOU.
You're not going to find the right coach if you don't understand your business and where you want to go.
Where is my business RIGHT NOW? The good, the bad, the ugly.
What SKILLS do I need to learn to achieve my goals?
When I decided to grow my agency business through e-products, 1-on-1 coaching and educational trainings, I had gaps of knowledge that were holding me back.
Baby Elise with my Baby Business back in the confused old days… probably emailing my biz coach to ask about sales funnels.
I've learned so much since then that I'm now helping OTHERS set up their sales funnels; oh, how the tables have turned!
So I made sure I hired a business coach who had been in my shoes, had all those advanced skills and could show me what steps I needed to take... to make my business successful.
Once you've signed up for a trial or discovery session, treat it like a job interview. In that, you're interviewing the coach.
Use the session as an opportunity to mine for information to find out everything you can about their coaching style, any particular business practices, and anything else that may impact the success of the partnership.
What's your current business model?
What are your coaching hours?
What are some things that you've helped your previous clients with and how did you help them?
These questions will give you a good basis to understand how that coach runs their business.
You'll find out if they are super hands-on or if they have a more independent approach.
How many hours they work will give you an indication of their business philosophy and what shortcuts they can teach you.
Don't be scared to get into the nitty-gritty details.
If you're just starting your biz and you have a young family or a full time job, you need someone who can understand the constraints on your time.
There is HUGE value in hiring a coach that has the lifestyle you want to achieve.
Before you sign a contract, test the coach out.
Even if they have amazing testimonials, you still need to dip your toes in and get a sample of their work.
Don't be like me in this photo and run into the roaring ocean with no regard for anything; always dip one toe in to test the waters first.
Good advice for going to the beach AND making big business investments! 🌊 You're welcome.
One of the best ways to do this is to sign up for one of their free training sessions, any live online webinars, or one of their previous workshops.
Will I enjoy working with them?
Does their style resonate with me?
Do I feel like we're speaking the same language?
If you can answer yes to these questions without any doubts, you're one step closer to picking the right business coach for you.
Is a business coach ticking all of the boxes for you, but something doesn't FEEL quite right?
Don't write off your gut feeling.
Listen to your intuition and continue the search.
You want to work with a coach that's going to make you feel excited every time you have a call. You want that electric synergy that's going to inspire you and impact your results.
Don't monkey around and hire just any business coach.
Investing in a business coach is not the same as signing up for an online course about Pinterest or time management hacks. It's an investment in yourself and in your dreams, so trust your instincts.
Whether you're seeking expertise, accountability or someone to help you get out of your own head, choose the best person for where your business is at right now.
Don't feel bullied into making a decision, either.
It's your biz, and you hold all the power – not the coach.
With that being said, if you're in a situation where your gut feeling is holding you back, take some time to assess whether it's the coach or YOU.
Sometimes fear has a funny way of creeping into our lives.
It's totally normal to feel it when you're about to embark on a new adventure or a new investment.
Don't confuse your fear of the unknown with the conclusion that this is the wrong coach for you.
In fact, the right coach will be able to recognize that this is where you're at and help you through it… so that you can ultimately make the best decision for yourself.
My 1-On-1 Business Coaching Is Closing Soon!
If you're reading this blog post because you've secretly been watching me from the sidelines and are considering hiring me as *your* coach, I have news for you.
But my 1-on-1 Mind The Gap coaching program will be shutting down as of January 2019. Whether it'll open back up again at some point… I don't know.
So this is your sign (if you've been waiting for one).
Make sure to bring them to our call! Can't wait to meet and chat.

Q: calculating $\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1+\frac{1}{2}+...+\frac{1}{n}}{n}$ How can I prove that $\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1+\frac{1}{2}+...+\frac{1}{n}}{n}=0$?
I can't use $1+\frac{1}{2}+\cdots +\frac{1}{n}\approx \log n$
I've tried to use the following: $\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1+\frac{1}{2}+...+\frac{1}{n}}{n}=\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{n}+\frac{1}{2n}+...+\frac{1}{n^2}$? but the numbers of items I add goes towards $\infty$ so that doesn't help.

A: By the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality
$$ H_n = 1+\frac{1}{2}+\ldots+\frac{1}{n}\leq \sqrt{\left(\sum_{k=1}^{n}1\right)\left(\sum_{k=1}^{n}\frac{1}{k^2}\right)} \leq \sqrt{n\,\zeta(2)}$$
hence the limit is trivially zero.

A: Bound the limit by for  all positive epsilon
$0\leq\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1+\frac{1}{2}+...+\frac{1}{n}}{n} = \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1+\frac{1}{2}+...+\frac{1}{N_0}}{n} + \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{\sum_{k=N_0}^n\frac{1}{n}}{n} \\\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad = \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{\sum_{k=N_0}^n\frac{1}{n}}{n}\leq\frac{n\frac{1}{N_0}}{n} < \varepsilon$
That is we need $N_0=\lceil1/\varepsilon\rceil$

You seem to be in a warm glow phase at the moment?
Too much sun I think! But that is entirely sun lighting up that picture. For as long as it lasted! A very cold day today. Reckon we'll get snow soon!
I think so – more photo opportunities. A wonderful sky here this morning on way to the golf course but sadly no camera!
And I didn't take the golf clubs! Not that have any!
I woke this morning to our version of sunrise. I am continually aware that the same sun is there and here. When I was a kid I had very little conception of there being anything in the world that I couldn't see.

AVROBIO Reports Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results and Provides Business Update
Reported positive interim results from clinical trials of AVR-RD-01 investigational gene therapy in Fabry disease, including 87% substrate reduction in first kidney biopsy at one year post-treatment
On track to dose first patients in Phase 1/2 clinical trials for Gaucher and cystinosis this year
Raised $129 million in net proceeds from follow-on equity offering in July, extending cash runway into the second half of 2021
August 08, 2019 07:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AVROBIO, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVRO) (the "Company"), a Phase 2 clinical-stage gene therapy company, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019 and provided a business update.
"We have made substantial progress across our entire pipeline, especially in our clinical program for AVR-RD-01 in Fabry disease. We believe the compelling interim data from the Phase 2 and Phase 1 trials announced in July serves to both validate our approach to treating patients with Fabry disease, as well as support our pipeline of investigational gene therapies for other lysosomal storage disorders," commented Geoff MacKay, President and Chief Executive Officer of AVROBIO. "Clinical milestones anticipated later this year include the transition to our plato™ platform and the dosing of the first patients in the Gaucher and cystinosis trials. With our balance sheet strengthened by our recent follow-on equity offering, we believe we are well positioned to continue executing on our development and commercialization strategies."
Program Updates and Milestones
The Company announced positive data from the Phase 2 and Phase 1 clinical trials of AVR-RD-01 in Fabry disease, including the following highlights:
Substantial Gb3 substrate reduction in kidney biopsy. The kidney biopsy for the first treatment-naïve patient dosed in the Company's FAB-2011 Phase 2 trial, as reviewed by two independent examiners, showed a reduction from an average of 3.55 Gb3 inclusions per peritubular capillary (PTC)2 at baseline to an average of 0.47 inclusions per PTC one year after administration of the Company's AVR-RD-01 investigational gene therapy, representing an 87% reduction.
Sustained plasma lyso-Gb3 reductions. The first Phase 2 patient had an 87% reduction in plasma lyso-Gb3 at one year. The first four Phase 1 patients had their plasma lyso-Gb3 levels reduced between 33% and 41% versus their enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) pre-treatment levels. In particular, the 41% reduction level has stabilized at more than two years for the first Phase 1 patient.
Durability data for AVR-RD-01 continues to show sustained results across multiple parameters. All six patients across the Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials for whom data are reported at six months or longer post-treatment with AVR-RD-01 show sustained AGA enzyme activity in leukocytes and plasma and exhibit consistent vector copy number (VCN) trends, with VCN levels for the first Phase 1 patient stable at more than two years post-treatment.
Kidney and cardiac functions stable. Kidney and cardiac functions, as measured by GFR3 and cardiac MRI Left Ventricular Mass parameters, were stable in a normal range in the first Phase 2 patient at one year.
Phase 1 patients who have discontinued ERT remain off ERT. The two patients in the Phase 1 trial who discontinued ERT post-AVR-RD-01 treatment remain off ERT to date. A third patient in the Phase 1 trial recently discontinued ERT treatment.
No unexpected trends or safety events were identified. Serious adverse events (SAEs) and adverse events (AEs) reported were generally consistent with myeloablative conditioning, underlying disease or pre-existing conditions.
Recruitment continues to progress in FAB-201 in the United States (U.S.), Canada and Australia. This trial will continue to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AVR‑RD‑01 in up to 8 to 12 treatment-naïve patients. The remaining patients in FAB-201 are planned to be dosed using plato, AVROBIO's commercially scalable platform, consisting of a state-of-the-art four-plasmid vector system, automation of a closed cell manufacturing process and a conditioning regimen utilizing therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). A total of 8 patients have been dosed across FAB-201 and the investigator-sponsored Phase 1 clinical trial of AVR-RD-01, which completed enrollment in February 2019.
Phase 1/2 trial of AVR-RD-02 in Gaucher disease (GAU-201) remains on track with expected dosing of first patient, incorporating the plato platform, this year. AVROBIO received a 'no objection letter' for its GAU-201 clinical trial application (CTA) from Health Canada and intends also to open clinical sites in Australia and additional countries next year, pending regulatory clearances. Manufacturing infrastructure is in place to support clinical trials in the U.S., Canada and Australia. The Phase 1/2 trial, which is currently recruiting patients in Canada, is designed to enroll 8 to 16 patients between the ages of 16 and 35 with Type 1 Gaucher disease and will include both treatment-naïve patients as well as patients stable on ERT. Patients will receive a single treatment with AVR-RD-02 and will be followed for one year to measure safety and efficacy. Efficacy endpoints include measures of liver and spleen volumes, hemoglobin, platelet counts, bone pain and bone density measures, along with other blood markers used in Gaucher disease clinical research. In the second quarter, AVROBIO announced new pre-clinical data at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) highlighting, in a mouse model for Type 1 Gaucher disease, the impact AVR-RD-02 had on bone pathology, an important aspect of the target product profile and a significant unmet need for Gaucher patients, including for those currently being treated by ERT.
Phase 1/2 clinical trial of AVR-RD-04 in cystinosis remains on track with expected dosing of first patient this year. The Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating AVR-RD-04 in cystinosis, an investigator-sponsored trial led by Dr. Stephanie Cherqui at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), is expected to dose its first patient this year. The clinical trial is designed to enroll 6 patients with cystinosis currently being treated with cysteamine to examine clinical parameters such as kidney function, muscle strength, bone density, and endocrine function. In June 2019, the UCSD cystinosis study group announced that it had been awarded a $12.0 million grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) to directly fund this Phase 1/2 trial.
Strengthened balance sheet and extended anticipated cash runway into the second half of 2021. In July 2019, the Company raised net proceeds of approximately $129.5 million through a follow-on equity offering. The Company expects that these net proceeds, along with AVROBIO's cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2019, will enable the Company to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the second half of 2021.
Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results
AVROBIO reported a net loss of $16.1 million for the second quarter of 2019 as compared to a net loss of $10.5 million for the comparable period in 2018. This increase was due to increased research and development expenses, as well as increased general and administrative expenses.
Research and development expenses were $12.3 million for the second quarter of 2019 as compared to $7.4 million for the comparable period in 2018. This increase was driven by increased program development activities related to the advancement of the Company's pipeline, as well as increased personnel-related costs resulting from an increase in employee headcount.
General and administrative expenses were $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2019 as compared to $2.1 million for the comparable period in 2018. This increase was primarily due to an increase in employee headcount, expenses associated with being a publicly traded company, including consulting and legal expenses, and the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation.
As of June 30, 2019, AVROBIO had $90.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to $126.3 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2018. In July 2019, the Company raised net proceeds of approximately $129.5 million from a follow-on equity offering. The Company expects that the net proceeds from the equity offering, along with AVROBIO's cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2019, will enable the Company to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the second half of 2021.

Phishing neutralizes even the strongest cyber security protections. Find out how it works and how you can stop it.
Wi-Fi has changed all of our lives, but before you login, make sure it's safe to do so.
We have been talking about cyber security for years, and up until now, it's always seemed like a distant threat. Districts are being hacked and ransomed for their information now.
This data breach isn't the only major cyber crime to severely impact millions of lives this year. In late June, multiple companies across the world were under siege by a virus that effectively shut down computers and extorted money.
Do you collect funds from the public for any reason? This might include park space rental, any kind of service or training, utility bills, or medical billing. If so, then your district is a creditor and must comply with these regulations.
Many large-scale cyber threats demonstrate the deceptively simple techniques hackers often employ to infiltrate our computers and steal our information: requests from a stranger on your social media, the stray USB drive on the floor, and the email you failed to scrutinize before opening.
Self-driving cars have had a storied history in film and television, stretching as far back as the early 1980s.

Late on a Friday evening in the beginning of February, staff at the Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles, California began to report issues accessing portions of the hospital's network. As the administration would soon learn, their system had been infected with a piece of malicious software that had encrypted critical files and databases. The malicious software provided the hospital with an ultimatum—pay up, or never have access to these files again.

Tim Floyd gets angry, gets tossed, security gets involved

Not long ago, Tim Floyd was the voice of reason when things ran amok. (Well, at least in a casino.)
Wednesday night ended that.
The UTEP coach was so animated during an 83-76 loss to East Carolina that security had to escort him off the court after he was ejected for a pair of technical fouls. As if that wasn't enough, assistant Phil Johnson also got the boot soon after.
But why describe the scene when you can watch video?
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZysiJrTLLQ]
"I think it was a coaching box violation," Floyd said afterward. "I had my big toe out of the box, received a warning, turned my back and walked to the bench and got a technical.
"I'd never seen (the official who issued all the technicals) before and I don't know who he is. I've always earned my technicals and I didn't feel like I earned it."
The Miners dropped to 20-8 overall and 8-5 in Conference USA. Just a week ago, it led the standings. Now, any hopes of an at-large berth to the NCAA tournament are kaput.
No wonder Floyd lost it.

Do You Need Last Minute Furnace Repairs?
Is Your AC on the Fritz?
It's Finally That Time: Schedule Your AC Services Now!
Spring has officially sprung, and here in Texas, that means it is already beginning to feel like summer has arrived. Of course, this means that you'll be using your air conditioner much more frequently if you haven't been doing so already. But, no matter if your AC is young or old, it is important that you schedule the services that it needs to run efficiently and effectively all summer long. Trust us, there is nothing quite as uncomfortable as dealing with a faulty system during the time of year you need it most.
There are plenty of reasons to get ahead and schedule your annual inspection and tune-up now. Annual air conditioning maintenance in San Antonio, TX is the best way to ensure that your system runs as smoothly as possible, keeping repairs and energy bills to a minimum. And in case you are not yet convinced, we have outlined just some of the many reasons why you should not skip out on your AC maintenance this season. Keep reading below to find out more.
Perhaps the most important reason to stay on top of your air conditioning maintenance is efficiency. When your system is energy efficient, you won't have to worry about costly repairs and sky-high energy bills. In fact, it has been estimated that your air conditioner loses up to 5% of its initial efficiency for each year that it misses maintenance. With regular preventative maintenance, your system can maintain 95% of its initial efficiency, which is certainly a lot!
During your maintenance visit, your technician will thoroughly inspect your system for any sign of an issue and make any adjustments necessary to boost efficiency and performance. Why pay more than you have to to cool your home this summer? You have plenty of better things to spend your money on … like ice cream!
The last thing that you should have to deal with during the summer is a broken air conditioner. A faulty AC could leave you quite uncomfortable, especially during a heatwave. Therefore, it is important to ensure that it receives the services necessary to keep it running effectively all season long.
When you schedule your services now, you won't have to worry about untimely breakdowns and repairs. Annual maintenance services grants you the peace of mind that you deserve so that you can enjoy a comfortable and relaxing summer.
Far too many homeowners wait until the last minute to schedule their air conditioning services. This means that HVAC companies are very busy answering dozens upon dozens of service calls. Though this is great for business, it certainly makes it much harder for you to schedule a convenient appointment.
By scheduling your services now, you can avoid the summertime rush. Plus, you'll be left plenty of time to complete any repairs that are needed before summer starts, so you can be sure that your home will be comfortable.
Don't hesitate to schedule your air conditioning services this season. Contact Riteway Service Company today to get started.

Pyrexia – Feast of Inequity (Unique Leader Records)
Wednesday, 6th November 2013 By Kyle McGinn
Despite their on-again, off-again presence throughout the years, Pyrexia was never really able to achieve the level of success as their NYDM peers Suffocation and Immolation. Enter Feast of Inequity, the band's fourth album in a span of over 20 years, which employs not one, but two former/current members of Suffocation on the drum kit (Doug Bohn, Dave Culross) in their latest attempt to solidify their place at the NYDM legends table.
With their humble beginnings sticking strictly to the Effigy of the Forgotten formula, 1997's System of the Animal established the base of their sound, diversifying them with a tinge of hardcore and more of an emphasis on groove. Much of this still continues on Feast of Inequity, albeit as a much more fine-tuned machine. Pyrexia never really feel the need to rip through songs at mach speeds, instead choosing to bludgeon the listener with a barrage of heavy, groovy riffs that mostly hit the spot. You'd be hard-pressed to find a groovier time this year than tracks like "Cocoon of Shame", "Infliction", or "Thy Minion" but the back-end of the disc loses some steam until "The Feast" comes in with a bang to close things out on a high note.
While the bulk of Feast of Inequity is rock solid, some filler tracks on a merely 30-minute experience keep it from reaching it's full potential. Pyrexia have shown they can continue to weather the storm over the years with quality material, but their masterpiece still seems to stay one album ahead of them.

GRAND RAPIDS — When bicyclist Gregory Siemion was struck and killed by a city dump truck last summer, the driver told police he never saw Siemion.
Turns out, a lawsuit alleges, Benny Branch hasn't seen a lot of things from behind the wheel of city trucks and snowplows.
"Branch has a long history of being involved in accidents while driving city vehicles, some including where he is the at-fault driver," attorney Matthew Vicari wrote in a lawsuit filed this week in Kent County Circuit Court.
Vicari filed the lawsuit on behalf the victim's aunt and estate representative, Norma Van Gessel, against the city and truck driver. While police did not assign blame in the fatal accident, Vicari alleges Branch's "gross negligence" led to the May 20 crash on Bridge Street NW near Fremont Avenue.
Branch, who was using a dump truck to transport debris collected by street sweepers, had stopped at the union hall that afternoon for a pop.
As he left, he drove through a "narrow alley or driveway with limited visibility," between the union hall and another building, that leads to Bridge Street, Vicari wrote.
He was turning west out of the drive, and struck the bicyclist, who was trapped under the truck and street-level plow blade, and was dragged nearly 90 feet. Branch told police he did not know his truck had collided with the bicyclist until he heard an unusual noise, and saw Siemion's body and the bicycle in the rear-view mirror.
Siemion suffered horribly as he was dragged down the street, leaving him with a broken pelvis and ribs, his clothing ripped off and an ear torn away. Yet he was conscious enough to talk to a woman who offered comfort, Vicari said.
Siemion died of multiple injuries.
Branch, who was on paid leave after the investigation, has since returned to work, city staff said.
Vicari said in the lawsuit that Branch should have been aware many pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists frequent the area where the crash occurred, and that the Fremont Avenue exit offered a better view of traffic.
Branch, 61, who has worked for the city 16 years, has a history of mishaps, the attorney said.
"It's a tragedy that never should've happen as far as I'm concerned," he said in an interview.
In the lawsuit, he cited 21 incidents involving Branch dating back to 1995.
Feb. 7, 1995: Branch drove a city vehicle through a Burger King restaurant drive-thru and went too far under the overhang, striking the edge of the restaurant's roof.
Jan. 17, 1997: Branch hit a parked car with the city truck he was driving.
May 27, 1998: While driving a city truck, Branch hit another car while trying to drive around it without sufficient room.
July 20, 1998: Branch ran into a garage door when driving a city truck into the garage.
Dec. 22, 1998: Branch hit a parked car with the underbody of the city snowplow he was driving.
April 9, 2001: While driving a city vehicle, branch hit another truck, breaking a window.
June 26, 2002: Branch was driving a city paver and struck another city vehicle. The city issued him a "Letter of Instruction," reminding him of his responsibility to perform his work diligently, including "the safe operation of city equipment.
Aug. 28, 2002: Branch was driving a city vehicle when he backed over a lawn, causing lawn and mailbox damage. He was told to consider his clearances while backing up in city vehicles.
Feb. 12, 2003: Branch was snowplowing a city street when he struck a parked car.
Jan. 20, 2005: While on plow duty, Branch drove a city truck too close to a car in front of him. The car stopped, then rolled backward, hitting the city truck.
May 31, 2005: Branch backed up a city truck, striking a garbage truck and breaking its passenger window.
Aug. 17, 2005: Branch backed up a city truck and struck a pole, damaging the pole.
Oct. 10, 2005: Branch backed up a city dump truck onto the hood of a car behind him.
May 6, 2009: Two weeks before the collision that caused Greg Siemion's death, and while driving the same city dump truck, Branch rear-ended a minivan, breaking the minivan's rear window.
Branch currently has a clean driving record, according to the Secretary of State's Office. His last ticket came Dec. 17, 2004, in Grand Rapids, for disobeying a traffic signal.
Siemion, 55, who lived all of his life on the West Side, was described as a man who enjoyed life's simpler pleasures. He rode his bike everywhere because he lost his driver's license a couple of years earlier when he blacked out and crashed his car.
He was in the process of getting his license restored. New medication had been prescribed for his heart condition.
Siemion graduated from Kenowa Hills High School, and had worked as a machine operator. After his father died in 1999, he moved in with his mother to help her before she died in 2006. He didn't have a lot of money, but he did what he could.
He loved to substitute in local bowling and golf leagues, friends said.
City attorneys did not return calls for comment Friday. Branch could not be reached.

SAILING AWAY ON A SILLY ROMP THROUGH NAZI-OCCUPIED FRANCE
DEBORAH HORNBLOW; COURANT FILM CRITICTHE HARTFORD COURANT
Here is a wacky new film concept: The Occupation farce.
Jean-Paul Rappeneau's "Bon Voyage" is set in 1940s France in the months leading up to and after the Nazi Occupation. As the French government relocates south to debate an armistice and consider the rise of Marshall Petain, other French citizens are otherwise, well, occupied.
Screen star Viviane Denvers (Isabelle Adjani) has just murdered a man who appeared to be stalking her. In her desperation to dispose of the corpse, she calls upon an easily manipulated old swain, the budding novelist Frederic (Gregori Derangere). Complications ensue, and the farce thickens.
Into the plot are added a French government minister (Gerard Depardieu), who is besotted with Viviane, an aged nuclear physicist Prof. Kopolski (Jean-Marc Stehle), his loyal young assistant Camille (Virginie Ledoyen), a carload of "heavy water" used for nuclear fusion, the jailbird Raoul (Yvan Attal), a French journalist (Peter Coyote) and assorted other players. What it all amounts to is a delirious, silly romp through, yes, a country overrun by Nazis.
If Occupied France hardly seems the stuff of light-handed comedy, "Bon Voyage" is most memorable for the performances. Adjani goes over the top as the self-absorbed actress who can summon tears in a blink to soften a man's heart. She uses her eyes marvelously so that as Viviane cries and cries, one part of her watches to see if she is having the necessary effect. Derangere's Frederic seems to run through the entire picture, sprinting after Viviane or struggling valiantly to help the professor as he begins to see he is the actress' pawn. Attal is always a welcome presence and his Raoul is a confident ex-con who has his eyes on Camille. Ledoyen is the heart of the story, the serious-minded assistant committed to protecting the professor and the world from the atom bomb.
Rappeneau divides scenes between Paris and Bordeaux and the French shoreline but wherever the action is, it seems always to be in the drenching rain.
In and around the froth of farce, the director captures vignettes of life in Occupied France. There are a few terrific scenes of the chaos in French government chambers as the arrival of the Germans is imminent. There are shots of the still streets of Paris with windows and doors shuttered against the terror. The last train out of the city is overcrowded with Parisians seeking escape. In Bordeaux, residents open their homes to refugees. At the city's swank hotel, the bourgeois compete for available rooms. Some greet the Armistice with glee, eager to return to Paris and make-do despite the Nazi presence, while others choose to go further south or join the Resistance.
Throughout, Rappeneau films in a style that apes films of the 1940s.
Adjani, dressed head to toe as a screen goddess, is lit in the manner of the screen idols of yore. Trench coats, hats and vintage automobiles abound.
Best of all, Rappeneau does a marvelous job filling his frames, cramming trains and restaurants and theaters and sidewalks with people and activity, creating a palpable sense of chaos.
There is no doubt that what Rappeneau has pulled off is something quite original, but the courageous mix of farce and French history is not always satisfying. Chaos does create ripe conditions for farce, but Viviane' s personal soap opera begins to seem more and more annoying in the midst of more serious matters even when they too are treated lightly.
Jan Hrebejk's outstanding Czech film "Divided We Fall" and Roberto Benigni' s "Life Is Beautiful" dared to mix comedy and Nazi atrocity, and only the former succeeds stunningly. "Bon Voyage," which adds a murder mystery and romance to the mix, is giddily over the top and in the end, it succumbs to its penchant for stuff and nonsense.
FILM REVIEW ***
BON VOYAGE is directed by Jean-Paul Rappeneau. Screenplay by Gilles Marchand, Rappeneau, Julien Rappeneau, Jerome Tonnerre, from a novel by Patrick Modiano. Opening today in New Haven and Madison. Running time: 114 minutes. Rated PG-13 for some bits of goofy violence.

Bowlers claim Stoke Stakes
A pair of South Island bowlers are now $20,000 richer after claiming the Stoke Stakes at the weekend.
The three-day tournament saw some of the best bowlers in Australasia battle it out for the $20,000 prize pool, the biggest purse in New Zealand competitive bowls.
Maurice Symes of Blenheim and Warren Brown from Kaikoura required an extra end to do it, but edged Jordan Taylor and Shane Pascoe 21-20 in a pulsating final to be crowned champions.
Formerly a singles invitational tournament, this year brought 32 teams from around New Zealand and Australia.
Stoke Bowls Club special events coordinator Peter Rutherford says they couldn't be happier with the competitive and diverse field that they assembled for the inaugural tournament.
Headlining the field was the man who had been the talk of the town after winning the World Champion of Champion Singles, Shannon McIlroy.
Shannon paired with popular Australian personality Damien McGee, but they were unable to progress past pool play.
Stoke team manager Brendon Hodgson says the weekend was a huge success. "We were lucky to get away with the weather on Friday, but it couldn't have been better conditions."
He says favourite Shannon was unlucky to finish 10th in qualifying and just miss the top eight.
"Their first game was a draw with Lance/Pascoe and then they lost two games by just one shot, but that was the brilliant thing about the format of the event with a random draw and one big section."
Brendon says there were lots talented players, several former internationals and a number of New Zealand title holders.
"It was a quality field and I think that showed with the standard of play over the weekend."

review by Victoria Glendinning in The Globe and Mail, October 30, 2010:
Deciding that the cut-paper mosaics have "the feeling of a memoir," Peacock scrutinizes closely 11 of them and proceeds to free-associate, cutting and pasting Mrs. Delany's life story in small, vivid snippets. She layers these with accounts of her research, and with slices of her own life, which is so very different from Mrs. Delany's that some of the juxtapositions are quite jarring, like clashing colours, as is her defiantly anachronistic description of Mrs. Delany's letters as her "blog." Yet there are parallels: their childlessness, their satisfying second marriages - and, in "a strange way," her subject's early life "lays a ghostly silhouette onto the atmosphere of my own experience." . . .
Thus, Peacock has structured the whole book as metaphor, a collage about collage, and a meditation on sexuality, friendship and creativity. It both analyzes and exemplifies that obsessional, mesmerized state induced in artists and crafts people through concentration and close observation. The volume itself is a craft object, sumptuously presented and designed, on fine paper, with colophons and decorations, and full-page colour reproductions so that we can test Peacock's responses against our own. If some of the interpretation seems absurd - as Peacock herself fears it might - it is triumphantly absurd. The Paper Garden will be everyone's favourite Christmas present this year. . . .
—Victoria Glendinning, author of many biographies, including Elizabeth Bowen (1977) and Jonathan Swift: A Portrait (1998)
review by Jane Christmas in Maclean's, November 22, 2010:
Delany's life and artistry would be compelling enough, but Peacock gives us so much more, and the details and precision of her text mirror the dogged, forensic approach Delany took with her work. Peacock wants us to see how the artist and the art are one.
Like collage itself, The Paper Garden is carefully layered - part fascinating biography, part history lesson about the English Georgian period, part gripping memoir, part paean, and part art appreciation accompanied by dozens of vivid photo reproductions. Beautifully written and rendered (the pages are printed on heavy glossy paper, the likes of which are rarely encountered in modern publishing), Peacock's obsession for Delany's art and life becomes ours, too.
from review by Katharine Lochnan in the Literary Review of Canada, March/April 2011:
To scrupulous research [Molly Peacock] brings poetic sensibility and structures her narrative in a way that echoes the flowers themselves. The result is as innovative a piece of literary craftsmanship as her subject's was artistic. . . .
Peacock's book is a carefully crafted work of art in its own right. . . .
Molly Peacock articulates her themes with grace and artistry. They are as elegantly introduced and intertwined as ribbons on a Maypole. On the last page they come together and are tied in a bow. Although there were moments when I raised my eyebrows, as I closed this beautifully designed book with its exquisite reproductions and sensuous paper, one word came to mind and has remained with me ever since: amazing.
—Katharine Lochnan, Senior Curator and The R. Fraser Elliott Curator of Prints and Drawings, Art Gallery of Ontario
from review by Claire Holden Rothman in the Montreal Gazette on October 23, 2010:
The art form was mixed-media collage. The subject matter: flowers - 985 of them, to be exact. Mrs. Delany had been aiming for 1,000, but her eyes gave out at age 82. Each cut-out is botanically correct, with pistil, stamen, stigma and all the rest of a flower's intricate anatomy carefully noted and included. The paper and other materials were ingeniously cut, arranged, and mounted on black backgrounds. The result is stunning, as the 35 full-colour illustrations in this sumptuous hardcover from McClelland & Stewart testify. The Paper Garden provides a wonderful introduction to the Flora Delanica, as the collection is called, and an alternative to flying across the ocean to the British Museum in London, where it is housed. . . .
The Paper Garden is a fascinating, uplifting and beautiful book.
review by Alison Gillmor in the Winnipeg Free Press, October 23, 2010:
This rich and poetic hybrid biography follows the life of a remarkable 18th-century Englishwoman, while touching gently on other ideas - the consolations of creativity, the nature of art, and the unexpected gifts of age. . . .
Mrs. Delany was an unusual woman, and The Paper Garden is an unusual work, part chronological biography, part emotional and artistic autobiography, part meditation on the reach and power of the imagination.
Teeming with life - and gorgeous colour illustrations - it will appeal to those interested in art and craft, women's history, the 18th century and, of course, anyone looking to redefine "creative retirement."
review by George Fetherling in Quill and Quire, October 2010:
This wonderful and markedly unusual book by Toronto poet Molly Peacock is both biography and memoir . . .
Delany's art, now in the British Museum, launched Peacock on a decades-long journey of enlightenment and obsession, as she tried to comprehend how creativity can strike without warning at such an advanced age, and what that may tell us about gender, empowerment, the craft that lies beneath art and literature, and "the floral metaphor as a way of life." . . .
This is a unique book, one even more remarkable than Mrs. Delany herself.
— George Fetherling, author of Walt Whitman's Secret
review by Linda L. Richards in January Magazine, November 15, 2010:
If you were to dream up the perfect gift for the hardcore book lover, it would look a lot like The Paper Garden (McClelland & Stewart) by Molly Peacock. . . .
Molly Peacock, a celebrated poet, brings her sharply honed eye and sensibility along to tell Delany's story. In the process, she embroiders it with her own. The resulting book is more than a beautiful glimpse at Delany's very interesting life (among other things she dined with Jonathan Swift and fended off Lord Baltimore) but a considered and shared contemplation on art and creativity. . . .
The Paper Garden is just beautiful and, like Delany's art, it is challenging to categorize. It is the biography of an interesting and creative woman. It is the memoir of another. It includes 35 color illustrations: portraits of Delany at various stages, examples of her (actually not at all fuddy-duddy) art. And, finally, it is a celebration of shared creativity.
review by Nancy Schiefer in the London Free Press (London, Ontario), December 24, 2010:
Former Londoner Molly Peacock, who now lives in Toronto, has published a beautifully put together book on late-life creativity and on how it nourishes the waning years and latent talent of Mary Granville Pendarves Delany, 1700-1788. . . .
The Paper Garden is a lovely book, clever, artfully contrived, wonderfully illustrated and full of surprises. . . .
Molly Peacock's glance-back at Delany and at the parallels she discovered in her own life is fascinating and original. It is a book to be treasured.

review by Emily Donaldson in the Toronto Star, January 22, 2011:
American-born, Toronto-based poet Molly Peacock has produced a winsomely unorthodox ode to Delany that is part biography, part miniature coffee-table book and part memoir. . . .
Peacock skillfully and tangibly evokes Delany's era . . . The point Peacock makes most convincingly is that Delany's rarefied oeuvre, and her late but metaphorically apt "blooming," was the perfect, logical product of the life that preceded it.
excerpts from review by Judith Meyrick in The Novascotian, February 20, 2011:
Her language is both visual and poetic, with an attention to detail that takes her readers into the heart of court life in 18th-century England.
In the continuing debate about the future of print publications, McClelland & Stewart have triumphed. An electronic version of The Paper Garden would be a mere shadow, only hinting at the pleasure readers will get from this miniature art book. The silken pages, the writing, the careful stitching, the wonderful reproductions, the subtle perfume of new ink, the size (it tucks perfectly in the corner of a bag) - these all combine to a whole that is a pleasure to hold and to read.
Oneline Review, January 1, 2011:
Become her, corseted & sheathed, flowering curious composed she is, hear the soft brush of her scissors 'snip, snip'.

from Shonna Froebel on the "Canadian Bookworm" Website, January 15, 2011:
This is a very different book than I expected. Peacock has taken 13 of the 985 works that Delany made and used them to illustrate her life. Each work is the focus of a chapter, and each chapter moves through Mrs. Delany's life from childhood through old age. Each chapter also follows Peacock's writing of this book, from her first awareness of the wonderful art created by Mrs. Delany to the completion of this book. It is a fascinating structure for a biography, a revival of awareness in this amazing set of artwork, and the inspiration that leads a writer to her subject. Wonderful, unexpected, and enlightening.
remarks by Sonia Day in the Toronto Star, July 29, 2011:
Poet Peacock treats her subject in an imaginative way (this isn't your usual overdetailed biography, penned by some boring academic) and I loved the whole story.
review by Angela Hickman on her "Books Under Skin" Website, November 10, 2011:
Peacock is a poet, and the aesthetic experience of reading her writing adds another level of beauty onto an already lovely book. It sounds strange, but to read Peacock's writing about the sexuality of flowers or the snipping of paper is rather like looking at a painting: suddenly, words you are familiar with become beautiful because they are arranged in unexpected ways, with a cadence that lets the lines sing themselves to you.
The Paper Garden is, in my opinion, the whole package. It's a riveting story about a woman who, against all odds, created an art form that has never been matched; it's a contemporary coming-of-age story about another fascinating woman; and it's told with language and photos that are so lovely it's hard to believe they're real.
review by Rohan Maitzen on her "Novel Readings: Notes on Literature and Criticism" Website, June 17, 2012:
As I read through this idiosyncratic, fascinating, beautiful, and occasionally annoying book, I kept wondering what it was that had drawn me to it at this particular moment. . . . In the choices I made about my professional specialization as well as in the daily choices I make about reading and looking and listening, I don't tend in an 18th-century direction. And yet not only did I pick up The Paper Garden to take a closer look (a first move that's understandable when you see how lovely all the various editions are) but almost right away, I wanted it. It seemed to have something to do with me, something to offer me.
Peacock's very personal 'readings' of the flower collages were fascinating and also provoking to me: I turned back again and again trying to look with her eyes at their images. . . . Was it the subtitle that caught my eye, then? It promises what The Paper Garden in fact delivers, a subversive, celebratory view of growing older as a woman. The book is also, crucially, about becoming an artist - I would say, "belatedly," but the whole impulse of The Paper Garden goes against that word, insisting instead on the necessity of long preparation.
Notices on blogs:
from Life as a Human, by Lorne Daniel, March 18, 2011:
Peacock's fascinating book interweaves the story of Mrs. Delany's late discovery of her art with the author's own life story to produce a compelling exploration of life patterns. Yes, it says, you can start late and accomplish great things.

The Paper Garden inspired a sermon by Rev. Millie Rochester at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Winnipeg, Manitoba, May 15, 2011
Winnipeg artist Cliff Eyland comments on taking The Paper Garden with him on his travels (Akimbo, June 30, 2011 - scroll down to #4).
from Calgary Public Library's Design District, December 16, 2011:
It's a non-fiction story of an artist that is as engaging as a good novel . . . Peacock explores the issues of women's independence, the sustaining nature of good marriages, the trials of economic uncertainty and the unexpected blossoming of creativity in old age.
from Hub Pages by Vanderleelie, March 2012:
Peacock's engaging account of the life of Mrs. Delany charts a fascinating historical period and a creative journey that readers can interpret as a call for personal reflection and renewed faith in talent and latent ambition. In the words of Mary Delany, at age 50, "How can people say we grow indifferent as we grow old? It is just the reverse...."
from Canadian Living's Craft Blog by Austen Gilliland, April 3, 2012:
Her art is astounding - each chapter is accompanied by a full-page, full-colour reproduction of one of her cut-paper flowers. They're simply beautiful - but closer inspection reveals that there's nothing simple about them. . . . If you like history, drama, art, crafts, romance, intrigue, poetry, memoir ... you should pick it up. It's rare that I read something a bit at a time these days - I'm a binge-reader, now - but this one I intend to enjoy for as long as possible.
from What Next? by MaryLou Driedger, April 29, 2012:
Molly Peacock's book is full of exquisite descriptions and many phrases that really get you thinking. . . . Molly Peacock says Mary encourages us to look for artists of the everyday.
from Willow Books, August 21, 2012:

Shirley is a passionate travel enthusiast, outdoor and adventure seeker, blogger and influencer. If you enjoy my blogs, please contact me to discuss and book to join one of my tailor-made excursions.
Travel has been in my blood from an early age experiencing the many trips to the Kruger National Park and many South African holiday destinations with my parents in the 50's and 60's, which engendered a spirit of wanderlust, wildlife and conservation, in me that has become deeply entrenched in my personal psyche.
South Africa became my playground in the 70's and 80's, with many trips to all parts of our beautiful country and our neighboring Zimbabwe.
The 90's enabled me to further follow my passions and many dreams became a reality from 1992 when I launched the Outdoor Adventure and Travel Expo, at Kyalami Race Track in Johannesburg.
The Expo provided outdoor and adventure companies and destinations to exhibit together at this "first of its kind" Expo in South Africa. Exhibitors and Visitors could now share their own passion for the Outdoors, Adventure and Travel. The Expo has enjoyed continued success over the past 26 years.
The 90's and 2000's have given me wonderful experiences and travel opportunities throughout Africa, the Far East and Europe.
Travel in Africa: Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Egypt and recently Morocco.
Travel in the Far East: Thailand, India, Bali, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Sipidan, Indonesia and Singapore.
Travel in Europe: Madeira, Portugal, United Kingdom, Ireland, France, and Germany.
The adventures are continuing with exploring of new destinations and sharing with whomever would like to follow my "adventures on the road".


László feLugossy (1947, Kecskemét) had a show last time in 2005 at the Várfok Gallery, now we are going to present his latest works.
The typical surrealistic way of painting, which we know abou feLugossy since the 1980s, is valid to the newest works of Ecstasy too, but to a smaller degree. In the 14 piece series we see more or less the same composition, only the complementary parts change. Laca's technique this time was already used by him before: he bends a plastic net to the wooden frame and glues cut out paperboard on it. On the boards the Madonna is represented, though Jesus is only symbolically there in form of an egg, or white dots. The pictures are complemented with geometrical forms made of silicon. These squares, triangles and circles mostly presented over Maria's head might also have symbolic meaning. Laca used both western and eastern types of representing a saint: the blue is the symbolic colour of Maria in western art, but the geometrical forms on the top of her head remind us of the saints seen in India. Besides these influences feLugossy's own attributes are also on the pictures such as the silicon as a material and the neon spots, which are typical of his art these days.

A website providing help and advice for those affected by asbestos compensation claims is to be launched with the support of the RIBA and RIAS.
The site, www.asbestosfaqs.co.uk, which will be launched next week, has been created by architects Ben Derbyshire and Marcus Lee.
Derbyshire and Lee recently fought a long and tortuous legal battle on behalf of their elderly fathers – former RMJM partners Andrew Derbyshire and Vernon Lee – after they were hit with a £1 million claim over alleged asbestos poisoning.
The claim, for "negligent exposure" to asbestos was brought in the Scottish courts in early 2013 by the family of the late John Miller, who died of mesothelioma in 2009.
The claim was originally filed against housebuilder Bett Homes – which employed Miller as a carpenter and joiner between 1962 and 1967 – but Bett brought in the former RMJM partners as a second defendant based on Miller's employment as a clerk of works by the then RMJM Partnership on the building of Ninewells Hospital in Dundee from 1967 to 1973.
The case was eventually settled in May with Bett Homes paying the Miller family £360,000 in damages while Derbyshire and Lee were 'released from the action with no liability for damages'.
In a statement released yesterday, Ben Derbyshire and Marcus Lee and their lawyer Ian Leach of BLM Law said their experience had been 'long, expensive and often very stressful' for their families and that it had revealed a lack of factual information and support available to those in a similar situation.
It continued: 'There is little readily available information on how the law works, where to go to find insurance, what sort of specialist legal advice to get or who the specialists in the field are. This added greatly to the time spent and the costs incurred fighting the claim.
'This case should serve as a reminder to all practicing architects that the insurance industry cannot necessarily be relied upon to keep a record of historic policies, and to check for copies of Employers' and Public Liability as well as Professional Indemnity Insurance certificates for all past years of practice'.
The website covers both English and Scottish law and will include a range of frequently asked questions, contact names and numbers and an interactive blog.
Following backing from RIBA president Stephen Hodder and RIAS president Iain Connelly, both organisations will provide links to the site from the public sections of their own websites.

Excuse me! Where's the nearest supermarket, please?
Hello! Can you tell me where the nearest supermarket is, please?
ሳም ምን ታስቢያለሽ? አዳም የሚጠይቃቸውን ሰዎች የሚያውቃቸው ይመስልሻል?

Q: Control the confirm button in bootstrap confirm modal Confirm modal example
I changed the example to a simple one. I want to call a delete function when I click on "Remove this {{item.id}}" button. The title successfully get the item.id value.

Do you want to remove  {{item.id}}

But the button doesn't get the item.id value and the function doesn't work. And instead of "Remove this item.id" it's only "Remove this ", and the function doesn't get the parameter too.
<button type="button" id="exampleModalLabel" class="btn btn-primary" ng-click="removeItem(item.id)">Remove this {{item.id}}</button>

What I have is this:

    {{item.id}}
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModal" data-whatever="{{item.id}}">Remove this item?</button>

        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">×</button>

Do you want to remove  {{item.id}}

        <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" ng-click="removeItem(item)">Remove this {{item.id}}</button>

//And this javascript
$('#exampleModal').on('show.bs.modal', function (event) {
var button = $(event.relatedTarget);
var recipient = button.data('whatever');
var modal = $(this);
modal.find('.modal-title').text('New message to ' + recipient);
modal.find('.modal-body input').val(recipient);
});

I hope the info is enough. If you need some more info, please tell me.

A: Your modal is out of items scope. You need to assign your item to some temp variable inside controller. You should use ng-click to achieve that, something like this ng-click="tempItem = item". You probably also have to edit your removeItem function.

    {{item.id}}
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModal" data-whatever="{{item.id}}" ng-click="tempItem = item">Remove this item?</button>

        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">×</button>

Do you want to remove  {{tempItem.id}}

        <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
        <button type="button" id="exampleModalLabel" class="btn btn-primary" ng-click="removeItem(tempItem)">Remove this {{tempItem.id}}</button>

//And this javascript
$('#exampleModal').on('show.bs.modal', function (event) {
var button = $(event.relatedTarget);
var recipient = button.data('whatever');
var modal = $(this);
modal.find('.modal-title').text('New message to ' + recipient);
modal.find('.modal-body input').val(recipient);
});

A: Try using this:

    <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
    <button type="button" id="removeButton" class="btn btn-primary">Remove this </button>

//JS
$('#exampleModal').on('show.bs.modal', function (event) {
var button = $(event.relatedTarget);
var recipient = button.data('whatever');
var modal = $(this);
modal.find('.modal-title').text('New message to ' + recipient);
modal.find('.modal-body input').val(recipient);

modal.find('#itemid').html(recipient); // add this
modal.find('#removeButton').attr('ng-click', 'removeItem('+recipient+')'); // add this
});


Pretty interesting... another protagonist with skill taker type skill set, but the author uses it in a more subdued manner unlike re:monster and the like.
Pacing is really well, so far it has been like a slice of life type of story, but the plot seems to have finally started developing.
Really fun novel to read, has not progressed much at all really, but the premise till now is really interesting.
While there are elements of op showing through in the MC it's not immediate, and shows the power be is capable of, though he is still stronger than others of his own level.
I haven't been excited about a sports genre novel in a long time.
Definitely fills the missing novel which can properly represent the space.
hope the releases are consistent and regular.
A good plotline, but moving at a snail pace, can read all the chapters in an hour, and still feel like all of the story is basically just starting.
Really good story, a bit different from other novels that depend on RPG tropes, instead of levels the hunters depend on their equipment level to fight it out.
While the premise is good, and I always like a strong MC, but I kinda want to see him go through some trials, but in the story the MC was already a saint so has no problems at all killing opponents a whole realm above him.
but at the same time, there is a something that makes me come back to read it again and again.
Amazing, I enjoy the various inter-plays between the MC and those around him. Story progression is always fresh and interesting. Kudos to the Translators for the quality of the releases.

The Asian Development Bank at 50: Adapting for a New Era in Development Finance

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) was founded in 1966 to promote development in a region that was still largely poor, lacking access to capital, and far behind the West by nearly all measures of economic progress. The ADB operates in a dramatically different Asia today. Its clients include a small number of countries that are still poor and struggling, but also include countries, paradoxically, whose economies are both engines of growth for the global economy and home to the world's largest poor populations. China in particular, a major ADB shareholder and client, has emerged as a leading financier in the region, including through its own multilateral development bank, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.
With the 50th anniversary of ADB as a backdrop, this event will examine how the bank is adapting to the dramatic changes in Asia, and what its role in the region should be in the years ahead. Does ADB financing still matter in a region that is seemingly awash in capital? How do the bank's leading shareholders like the United States and Japan see the institution's role going forward? Are new institutions like the AIIB partners or rivals, and how are they causing the ADB to adapt?
A stellar panel will consider these issues, looking to the future of the ADB on the occasion of a landmark anniversary. Please join us for a cocktail reception immediately following the event.

Length of rule: 16 years. The al-Thani clan has ruled Qatar for nearly 200 years. Sheikh Hamad took power in a non-violent palace coup in 1995. The Christian Science Monitor writes: "In the summer of 1995, after getting the blessings of the various al-Thani factions, Sheikh Hamad staged a bloodless coup, calling his father at a Zurich hotel, according to local legend, and simply informing him of the change. His father, so it is told, hung up."
Most despotic acts: Like many of its neighbors, the controversial host of the 2022 World Cup in soccer is accused of many human rights abuses when it comes to its foreign workers, like setting them up in squalid labor camps separate from society, confiscating their passports upon arrival, and giving them a general lack of rights. That said, Amnesty International reports only sporadic instances of torture and abuse by state security forces. As for Sheikh Hamad's dictatorial bona fides, The New York Times writes: "While Qatar calls for democracy outside its borders, democracy here is provisional at best. While there are municipal elections, and women can vote in them, the country has a Parliament building but no Parliament -- or any other political institution, for that matter -- that can challenge the royal family's grip on power."
Outlook for change: There have been no reports of internal dissent in Qatar. It does have a somewhat incongruous foreign policy, however, as it not only supported Saudi Arabia's move to send troops to help crush the Bahrain protests, but Qatar is also still the only Middle Eastern country to send warplanes to assist the Libyan rebels attempt to oust Muammar Qaddafi. These moves are all apparently part of the natural gas-rich Qatar government's efforts to become a major player in world affairs, which seem to garner it support from the West and its neighbors alike, making any unplanned internal democratic transition very unlikely.
