18 WHEEL TRUCKS ~ Not just a car wreck. By Attorney Howard Spiva Savannah Ga
Spiva Law Group PC May 10, 2016 | Spiva Law Group PC | Truck Accidents
People involved in a wreck with an 18 wheeler (tractor trailer) need to know that the lawyer representing them should have experience beyond just car wrecks.
Our firm was hired in a case where defendant truck driver who has gotten so many violations that the insurance company has excluded him from the policy. He's not covered by the company's insurance if he's driving their vehicle. Well, low and behold, even though he's excluded, the employer has this guy driving the truck and ironically, the guy's gotten many past, from a year ago all the way up to current, he's gotten many citations for unsafe loads and lack of reflective tape on his trailer. Ironically, he's pulled over on this day and is cited for several violations including not having any reflective tape on the back of his trailer.
He either has no lights or the lights are completely blocked by the logs that are overloaded and hanging off the trailer. After he's stopped, it's bad weather, it's dark, there are two cars going down the road and at the same time that they are approaching and approaching and approaching, the tractor-trailer is now pulling out into the lane in front of the path of the vehicle that's on the right.
The vehicle that's on the left sees that the driver on the right is just driving right into a black hole and that black hole is the back of this 18 wheeler logger that is excluded from the insurance policy. The guy just drives right into it, the logs go through the windshield, they go through his radiator, they go through the dash and into this guy just crushing and destroying his bones and turns him into a quadriplegic.
He and his wife spend five out of seven days in Atlanta going through painful and expensive and long and slow rehab (at the Sheppard Spinal and brain injury clinic) to slowly get him back where he can have some function of his limbs. They are, for lots of reasons I won't go into here but for lots of reasons that are really unfounded, initially, they're afraid to bring a claim. His employer luckily has some dismemberment insurance and does give him some of his salary so that he can survive while he's on the road to recovery. He'll never be able to return to what he was doing and that is building airplanes.
They called us and we got the case and we contacted the adjuster and the adjuster said he's excluded from the policy, we don't have to cover him. We get the name of their lawyer, we call their lawyer and the lawyer says he's an excluded driver. Ninety-nine out of a hundred lawyers would stop right there, because he's an excluded driver, he's not covered, it's a trucking company and they usually don't have any other assets or anything, their usually a mom and pop way out in the middle of the woods and a lot of people would end the case right there or maybe find out if there was twenty-five, fifty or a hundred thousand uninsured motorist and settle the case and go on down the road.
But because we do trucking cases and we understand trucking regulations and laws, one thing that we do is immediately, even though it's way up the country, we send our investigator out, we count the number of vehicles we have, we video and take pictures of the household and so forth. After they told us that, we sent them a short letter and said:
"Dear Adjuster, Dear Attorney, we want the MCS 90 proof of coverage that's on this truck." Many lawyers do not understand that in trucking, that if the company has this MCS-90 endorsement, it's basically, if you go out and get in a car wreck and the other person is uninsured or excluded from coverage, the law says that that person's coverage can't not pay in a car wreck because it will be voiding it's public policy and it would leave an innocent victim uncompensated.
Well, this endorsement that's on a trucking commercial policy, if the company has it, it's basically a fund that provides people coverage who'd normally would never have coverage. Because we know that the truck didn't just travel in Georgia, through our investigation we found out that the truck went to South Carolina, we've already found a million dollar coverage under this endorsement. So that's one incidence of showing that we you know the trucking law you can find out stuff that the other people have no clue. We have a full-time investigator on staff, most lawyers don't.
So as a standard part of our investigation we've gone to the various websites and we've made Open Records act and Freedom of Information act and we found all of these violations that not only this trucker but has this trucking company has against it and most lawyers wouldn't even know that these pages exist or that it's public record, or how to get them or any of that sort of thing, so that's one example of how it makes a difference. If you know what you're doing and you're doing trucking you send out spoliation letters to keep them from destroying evidence. A lot of people don't realize the short period of time, in which. Truckers have to keep their log books. The companies are only required to keep them for six months and so it's very important that somebody understands trucking law and understands the rules because it can make a difference not only in the recovery but also in if there's any recovery at all.
Car Accident with 18 Wheeler: How We Can Help
On attorney fees, let me say this, a lot of people that call up and they'll say well we've been checking around and we understand that your fee is forty percent and we talked to somebody and they might do it for a third or if it settles and it doesn't have to go to trial, they might do it for twenty-five percent.
What they don't understand is the level that we handle a case and our work, our experience, our results, and our costs we put in it. We've had several big cases in the last month. We've hired experts, who costs thousands of dollars. They go out and even establish a case that may not have otherwise been there without the proof they provide.
You know what I tell somebody is OK, would you like to have a lawyer that you pay twenty-five percent to and he gets you a hundred thousand dollar recovery or do you have a lawyer that gets you a two million dollar recovery and you pay forty percent. You kind of get what you pay for so to speak.
If you don't mind, I would like to take a minute and tell you about a past trucking case that we did. You got a minute? Let me tell you about another case we had. We had Larry and Donna, that's not their real names, but Larry and Donna, husband and wife, they're getting ready for a really special event. Their child is getting ready to graduate from kindergarten, to take the summer off and to finish up their first year there. I can't remember if it was kindergarten or first grade, let's say first grade.
The little child, beautiful little girl, she's getting ready to graduate so what they did was, they went over to a local outlet to get their daughter some shoes so she'd have a new pair of shoes that day for her little party graduating from first grade. While they're going and it's only maybe ten minutes from where they're going to take her to the school to where this outlet is, while they're going, the traffic as it comes over a viaduct is slowing down because a lot of people are exiting the exit while people other people are also merging in. As they go over this viaduct the traffic immediately starts to slow down. The traffic is, some of it is stopping and they are in left lane and the left lane is coming to a stop.
This trucker who is a little bit behind them is coming over the viaduct and his lane is stopping. So what he does is he quickly changes over into the left lane as he comes over the viaduct . Well when he does, that lane stops and he's almost rear ending our client so he swings back into the middle lane which is moving now to miss them. When he gets up beside them, apparently he's pretty angry, got some road rage, and he takes his finger and he makes a like he's got a, you know like little kids will stick their thumb up in the air and they'll their stick their pointer finger out like it's a gun, and he points at the wife whose a passenger like bang he's shooting her and a very, very angry look on his face, and so she tells her husband, "this guy's crazy. I saw him coming up in the rear view mirror. He almost rear ended us and then he's making threats like a gun".
Larry speeds on up as the traffic starts moving and when he gets four or five lengths up he goes over into the middle lane and then he goes over into the right lane because their exit's coming up. This truck driver speeds up, gets beside them on the driver's side and starts coming over into their lane and when they see that truck coming over, they start moving over to where their tires are on the emergency lane.
Well he keeps coming and not only comes completely in their lane, but when they go in the emergency lane he comes over into the emergency lane with them and so then they go into the grass. Well when they go into the grass, he loses control and the car fishtails around and hits the gas tank that's on the trailer and then his car flips rolls about five times. The truck driver just keeps going.
A bunch of witnesses see this and they go catch the guy. The guy is driving his Uncle's truck and his Uncle's got a lot of bad history on his driving record. What we later decided after being on the case for a long time was that probably the Uncle was driving and that this guy just told the cops that he was driving but in any event, he stops way up the road, he never comes back, nobody else ever gets out of the truck but him and all these witnesses say this truck tried to kill these people.
His story is "No, I was just changing lanes. I didn't know he was over there. I didn't make any gun signs at them" and then he tells other people that gets back to us "oh, they flipped the finger at me" and our guy says I didn't flip the finger at him. When he started coming into my lane, I rolled my window down and I started waving at him "hey, hey we're over here. Don't hit us."
So anyway, they flip, Larry's knocked out, he gets a head injury, he gets a serious fracture on his collar bone, he gets ribs broken, he gets a spinal disc injury and Donna suffers a loss of consciousness and a lot of bruising and some sprains and strains and so forth. Larry actually gets a surgical open procedure with fixation (metal parts in his spine)and gets a lot of injections and she gets injections and a lot of treatment.
Wouldn't you think the insurance company would pay up quick? No, they completely deny liability. We are not responsible and we're not paying anything, you ran off the road, we didn't cause anything and they refused to pay any amounts. Just completely denied liability.
Even over a year later, they still wouldn't pay. Larry and Donna hire us, we sent the jail record picture of the defendant, we alleged punitive damages, we sent them all kinds of investigation that we had done and so forth and they actually said that the local police was charging the guy because Donna was a local person, they said that she was like a groupie for the cops and that the cops were telling her version of it and not this wonderful truck driver who they denied had any fault and of course the cops denied it.
They said that they had seen her but that they didn't know her. We got pictures of the car rolled over and their car was completely destroyed, their family car was destroyed. Luckily they had not picked up their daughter yet and she was not in the car with them but they would have had her if it had been even fifteen to thirty minutes longer. We got all the medical records together.
So finally because Larry had over sixty thousand dollars in medical bills and Donna had forty thousand in medical bills and so we sued them and we prepared it to go to trial. These folks had no other means of support. They had no disability, no social security. They had no income coming in for over a year. They were virtually losing everything. He had been in his own business and she had worked and they now weren't able to work and so anyway, long story short, they were forced financially to eventually settle the case instead of taking it to a jury.
Truck vs Car Accident in Georgia
Would a general practitioner or a car wreck lawyer be able to handle this long and expensive fight? We believe it's only through our experience of knowing trucking law and knowing what to do and knowing how to dig up this information, that we were able to settle this case for seven figures. We got them a million dollars in recovery for the family. That's an example of trucking cases, how difficult they can be and you would think where someone intentionally ran someone off the road that they would just show up and pay the money but that's not how it works.
They had the log books and had people on the scene before the cops even left. They had their rapid deployment team there. They hired a lawyer before our clients even arrived at the hospital.
It was much later before we were hired. That kind of gives you some insight on trucking cases. It's not just a car wreck with a truck. It's completely different rules.
These people they lie about what kind of insurance coverage have. They usually just tell you…like in the log case, they told us there was no insurance. They had the umbrella coverage. You see there's really no punishment for them to disclose it or to fail to disclose it.
If they tell the people or their attorney about the insurance they have a lot more to lose. You almost always have to file a lawsuit in a trucking case to find all the insurance, It takes a lot of expertise and experience in trucking cases to know what you're doing. It's a different set of rules. It's not the rules that you read when you go down and take your driver's license.
A truck driver is a professional, just like a pilot. When they go out to their truck, they have to go over a checklist, just like a pilot would. They have to climb all over this truck. They have to inspect the brakes. They have to adjust the brakes. They have to weigh the load and make sure it's weighed properly. They have to make sure everything's connected up right. It's a professional driver who is in an eighty thousand pound, sometimes more, vehicle that can cause devastating damage and a lot of people think that I can go hire the lawyer that did my real estate closing or I can hire the lawyer that did my car wreck and the truth of the matter is that's not sufficient because it's a war and these guys have lots of money, they're usually very well-funded, they have the biggest and the best law firms on the other side working on them, and they don't care.
They'll crush you on the road and they'll crush you in your lawsuit and if you don't have someone who's ready, willing and able to get you results, you're in big trouble.
Five thousand people die each year from truck wrecks in the USA! That's more than who died in 9/11. And much of the time it's driver fatigue (like what happened in the case recently in the news with Walmart and the comedian Tracy Morgan).
Here you've got one of the most prominent trucking companies in the world, Walmart, and you still have this falling asleep deal. It's driver error. Walmart and all these guys, they have a navigation system that tells them where their drivers are at any one time. And here, they've got a truck that's rolling for 24 hours and nobody knows it? That's insane.
What happens in these cases exactly what I wrote that article about, "The trucker Myth". You've got this rolling death and everybody likes to think of the trucker as a hero, most truck drivers are hard working folks trying to earn a living, but the companies often put profits over safety. In reality, it's often, too often, very, very, very, very, very dangerous.
A lawsuit is like a war, and you shouldn't get caught with your pants down. You look like the winner you are, and you maintain a winning attitude. You need to look more organized to a jury. You need to be prepared, you need to be at the top of your game.
One example is our RV, a mobile office, The war wagon. It's the ultimate convenience for testimony, and you can get real-time support and feedback. You get fresh memories from the testimony. It helps us win at trial with technology. You look more professional. We broadcast the message that "we came to win".
Car Accident with Semi Truck: Call for Help Now
When we pull up in our War Wagon we broadcast the message that "we are prepared to fight". Defendants, insurance companies, witnesses, judges, and the jury all hear that "we came to win" message. I believe as in life, Attitudes win cases. Live over the top. Go the extra mile. Let the world know that you are committed, what you're committed to, to win consistently in every game you play. You must take a big bite out of life, with six tons of comfort and convenience and technology. The War wagon bites hard.

When you look at the way our body works, we can say that they are biological machines. The lifestyle we live therefore plays a huge role in our general health. When the lifestyle we adopt is the best, our bodies will also be health all the time. It is crucial we adopt the best behaviors on the way we eat, ponder and also train our bodies. Do not confuse living a healthy lifestyle as the being disciplined in the things we do but rather it is the choices we make. When a person chooses to live a healthy life, he or she will greatly benefit. Choices have consequence, and the following are some of the advantages of choosing to live a healthy lifestyle.
It ensures that you stay in good health. It is important that you understand that you cannot go to buy good health in the stores. Good health is hard to find in the current situation in the world. For you to reach a point where you feel that you can say that you are healthy, you have to choose between adopting acceptable health behaviors. Select only the options that go hand in hand with healthy living. It is after you stick to the option you make that the benefits of a healthy lifestyle start manifesting. You will start realizing that you do not fall sick frequently as you used to and the doctor will see very few times.
The other benefit is that you will start having control over your weight. When we can cut our weight by a significant percentage, we can reduce the chances of heart diseases affecting us. Ensure that you help your children get rid of the overweight related sicknesses such as asthma by helping them adopt healthy lifestyles. One way of removing the risks of being affected by the mention disease is having control of your body weight.
When your weight is in check, you also feel confident in front of people. You also have a stress free life when you weight is in check. Physically you will also turn to be an active person.
The other advantage of adopting a healthy lifestyle is that you flow of strength and stamina will be steady.

Doing the exercises will not be a challenge since you will have energy. You will have strong bones supported by strong muscles. It will be a good thing to your heart which will be effective due to the training.


India's Ghodawat Industries placed an order for a Eurocopter EC135 helicopter at the Aero India show in Bangalore this week. The aircraft will be configured for four passengers and is due for delivery in May, when it will replace the customer's existing EC120 model. During the event, the manufacturer also delivered another example of the light twin to Indian industrial group Mahindra & Mahindra.
Despite a shaky local economy, Eurocopter India recorded orders for 12 helicopters in 2012, nine of which were for the EC135. The European airframer's two-year-old Indian subsidiary claims that this represents a 70-percent market share in this category of rotorcraft in the local market. Last year, Eurocopter India claimed it led rivals in deliveries for the third consecutive year by registering six new helicopters in the country to achieve an overall market share of 43 percent.
"We will continue developing our presence in this market, building on the strengths of Eurocopter India as the only full-fledged subsidiary to be established in the country, with plans to expand organically and through cooperations with local partners," commented Eurocopter president and CEO Lutz Bertling.
Meanwhile, Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. has continued to be the global supplier of composite shipsets for Eurocopter's Ecureuil/Fennec helicopter family. Pawan Hans Helicopters, which owns the largest Dauphin fleet in the world, operates the only Eurocopter-approved maintenance, repair and overhaul center for Dauphin helicopters in India. Finally, Mahindra & Mahindra has come on board as a commercial partner with Eurocopter in the joint development of new market segments.

Q: How can i set when to run Typescript decorators When I define a parameterized decorator for the method, the decorator starts running before the method runs.
I want the decorator to run after the method is called.
 function fooDecorator(value: boolean) {
  console.log('fooDecorator init');
  return function (target: any, propertyKey: string, descriptor: PropertyDescriptor) {
  };
}

class Foo{

  @fooDecorator(true)
  foo(){

  }

}

app.listen(5000, () => console.log("server started"));

// Output
fooDecoratorinit
server started

A: TypeScript method decorators run during class initialization, so they can decorate the method; see the documentation. If you want a decorator to do something when the method is called, you have the decorator wrap the method in another function that does the thing you want it to do:
function fooDecorator(flag: boolean) {
    return function (target: any, propertyKey: string; descriptor: PropertyDescriptor) {
        const original = target[propertyKey];
        return {
            ...descriptor,
            value(...args: any[]) {
                console.log("Inserted behavior, flag = " + flag);
                return original.apply(this, args);
            }
        }
    };
}

class Foo{
    @fooDecorator(true)
    foo(){
        console.log("Original foo");
    }
}

const f = new Foo();
f.foo();

Output:

Inserted behavior, flag = true

Texas Biker Radio - TBR News Comment - FBI - Give Hillary A Pass - Are You?
The FBI keeps Fu**ing up. For years they've been letting terrorist slip through their fingers only to have Americans die again and again. They took the oath to protect and defend against all enemies foreign and domestic, yet somehow some way the FBI can do neither by design or total incompetence. Since everyone gives the FBI Director James Comey such high marks it must be by design. Therefore we must conclude the fix was in to give Hillary a pass directly past jail by the FBI.
The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation is the head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and responsible to the "Attorney General" for its operations. The FBI Director is appointed by the President. Its obvious there was collusion between Barrack Obama, Loretta Lynch, Bill & Hillary Clinton and James Comey. Once again we justice not served, once again we see politicians above the law.
When are you going to see enough? When are you going to speak out? When are you going to vote them out? All of them..

AT&T, Verizon Ramp Up Telco TV
by David Goetzl @dgoetzl, September 20, 2007
A day after a top Comcast official indicated the cable operator is feeling some heat from telco TV providers, an AT&T executive said Wednesday that more would be coming.
Ralph de la Vega, an AT&T group president who oversees entertainment, said the fledgling AT&T U-verse service offers "lots of revenue opportunities" and could become a $1 billion business. The TV service so far is in only 100,000 homes, but has picked up half of those since June and is growing at a rate that could put it close to 200,000 by year-end, he said.
That's a drop in the bucket compared to Comcast's 24 million, but COO Steve Burke said Tuesday that Verizon, the other telco TV provider, is providing significant competition with its FiOS service--and while a challenge from AT&T has apparently caused less "damage" so far, Comcast expects that to heat up as AT&T ramps up its investment.
That was a marked change from comments by some top cable executives who before questioned the viability of the fiber-based telco TV services.
"Verizon is real," Burke said. "FiOS exists in our footprint; Verizon is taking video customers from us."
Verizon's FiOS had 515,000 customers at the end of June and was available to some 3.9 million customers, for a penetration rate of 13%. The telco is looking for up to 4 million customers by 2010, for up to a 25% penetration rate across the markets it serves.
Burke and de la Vega made their comments at an investor event in New York.
Still, while Verizon is peeling away customers in several markets, Burke said the telco may still suffer from investing too much money too quickly to deploy the service. "We have always questioned, will they get a fair return for their shareholders?" he said. Burke said it's more difficult to gauge what kind of subscriber gains AT&T may be making vis-à-vis Comcast in the large Houston market where they compete head-to-head. But regarding AT&T's potential challenge, he said "they are real--they're a very big company, very serious about what they're doing, spending a lot of money."
AT&T has so far produced a considerably slower 2% penetration rate compared to Verizon's 13%. AT&T's 100,000 subscribers come from a 5 million-home footprint, and the company plans to be in 8 million homes by year-end. If that holds and it has 200,000 subs by then, the penetration rate would still be less than 3%. Of course, a major marketing spend could accelerate uptake. AT&T plans to be in 18 million homes by the end of 2008.
AT&T's de la Vega said U-verse will yield more revenues as the company reduces its cost structures. For example, he said, it used to take an average of 7.5 hours to install U-verse--which is now down to 6.5 and one technician can do it in 4 hours. He also said the company has made technological improvements, allowing it to reduce the amount of bandwidth it needs to provide HD viewing, bringing costs down.
Also, subscriber growth, perhaps to the 1 million range, will give AT&T more leverage via-a-vis content providers and could lead to reduced per-subscriber payments. de la Vega added that he also expects to bring those costs down by approaching programmers and offering them a three-screen distribution deal, where they could offer their video on U-verse as well as reach millions of AT&T broadband and wireless customers. He said he's looking for "innovative content producers" interested in multi-platform reach.
As costs come down and consumer interest piques, de la Vega said: "It's going to follow the same trends as broadband." AT&T has some 12 million broadband customers.
U-verse installations are taking place at an average rate of 7,000 to 8,000 a week, he said, and the company believes it can get to 10,000 by next year.
Separately, de la Vega signaled that AT&T plans to ramp up its ad sales efforts to attract marketers looking to reach its massive customer base in the broadband and wireless areas in bundles. While it doesn't yet sell advertising on U-verse, it has opportunities online and is seeking to ramp up in mobile.
"I think there's great upside in advertising, and we've only begun to dive into those markets," he said.

Running 135 miles from Death Valley to Mt. Whitney in July is a formidable task, even for the veterans who have accomplished this feat before. For rookies, it may almost seem like a dream, or nearly impossible.
This is why we are very pleased to announce BADWATER COACHING by AdventureCORPS, the first official training program for the Badwater Ultramarathon, endorsed by us at AdventureCORPS and administered by Jennifer Vogel, the second place female finisher in 2011, a three-time Badwater support crew member, and a full-time, certified, and very experienced professional coach. She's also an award-winning Iron-distance triathlete, and a 2012 Furnace Creek 508 finisher who lives and trains in very hot Florida. She knows how to push herself and her clients to their fullest potential in the most extreme conditions.
Jennifer utilizes the latest in coaching modalities as well as years of Badwater experience to bring you to the start line of the world's toughest foot race in the best shape of your life. As you would expect from any program endorsed by AdventureCORPS, Badwater Coaching utilizes a holistic training approach, blending all aspects of an athlete's life with strategic time management to make every workout count. This is the farthest thing from a "Run X amount of miles this week, next week, next month…" program, nor is it some generic, recycled spreadsheet sent to you by email.
• Badwater-specific premium TrainingPeaks.com account to track all your training, nutrition and metrics like weight and sleep with charts to monitor your fitness and performance trends as they change over time.
• Three 30-minute phone or Skype calls with the Badwater Ultramarathon Race Director in the months leading up to the race. Ask those questions you've always wanted to ask!
That's right: Unlike other coaches who you may never meet in person, or who will unavailable to you during the race, Jennifer will be there on Sunday to help you put the finishing touches on your Badwater plan. And once the race starts, she'll be available for your support crew to contact with questions or concerns. Then, once the race is over, she'll be there to celebrate with you, your crew, and your Badwater Belt Buckle!
The cost for this one-of-a-kind coaching program is $295 per four week block, plus a $95 one-time enrollment fee. The first two blocks must be paid in advance and a discount is available for paying for the full five blocks in advance.
The race is just 20 weeks away. Will you be ready?
The biggest challenge for endurance athletes isn't the competition—it's sun exposure, according to the latest Sun & Skin News, a publication of The Skin Cancer Foundation.
Triathletes, for example, compete outdoors in three endurance sports back-to-back—swimming, bicycling, and running. If racers don't carefully protect themselves, notes Scott B. Phillips, MD, the result could be premature skin aging and skin cancers, including melanomas.
About half of the triathletes recently surveyed by Dr. Phillips had skin problems, and 55 percent of those with problems reported sunburns – almost the same results obtained from 259 marathoners.
During training, cover as much skin as possible, wearing sweatpants or long shorts, and a long-sleeved shirt or sweatshirt. Wear socks to soak up sweat and absorb impact as well as block the sun. And shield your eyes with UV-blocking sunglasses.
Wide-brimmed hats are too unwieldy for endurance sports, but wear a baseball-type cap to protect the forehead and front of the face.
Use an SPF 15 or higher sunscreen on all exposed skin, up to 6:30pm or later on a summer's day, even when it's cloudy. Dr. Phillips also recommends lip balm, and stick sunscreens around the eyes, because these sunscreens are more resistant to sweating. Badwater recommends the prducts by Kiehl's Since 1851.
Even if a sunscreen is labeled "waterproof" or "water-resistant," replenish it every two hours after.
"These few moments make a big difference in sun safety, and little difference in your competitiveness," says Dr. Phillips.
The Skin Cancer Foundation, the only national and international organization concerned solely with cancers of the skin, conducts public and medical education programs and provides support for research and professional training to reduce the incidence, morbidity, and mortality of skin cancers. Sun & Skin News, a quarterly publication of the Foundation, provides information on a broad range of topics related to skin health, including prevention and treatment of skin cancers, the effectiveness of new sunscreen formulas and sunglasses, prevention and treatment of photoaging, and the danger of tanning parlors.
During the last twenty years of competing as an ultra runner I have heard countless stories about the famous Badwater Ultramarathon, the 135-mile running race held annually in July from Death Valley to Mt. Whitney. Since I don't really like the heat, I have never desired to enter. However, so many runners are passionate about this race across Death Valley, their stories were intriguing, and I was curious.
When my coaching client Doug Ratliff informed me that he had been accepted into Badwater and wanted me to pace and crew for him, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to see what this race was all about.
First I began reading about how people acclimate for the race: Running in a sauna, cycling in a greenhouse, jogging on a treadmill with the clothes dryer vent blowing on you. While Doug didn't do this, he did run in the Texas heat while we (his crew) practiced pacing and crewing. It was unlike any crewing experience I had ever had. I wondered "What could a runner need every half mile?" I was used to doing Mountain Ultras where I saw my crew every 2-3 hours, not every few minutes.
I got my first dose of Badwater reality when I arrived in Furnace Creek two days before the race. When I stepped out of the van, it was like jumping into an oven. The ambient temperature was 120, the wind was hot, and the sun was literally burning my skin. "How was Doug going to run in this, and boy am I glad I'm not," were my first thoughts. I was beginning to understand the need for nearly constant crewing.
Almost immediately we began meeting other racers and crews. It was like any other ultra in that way, with friendly runners and helpful people. But there was more than that: many of these runners had completed multiple Badwater races, were back for more, and had only great things to say about the race. Bottom-line, I had never seen a group of runners, crews, and pacers so passionate about a race.
This was one of the only races I have attended where the crew consisted of more world-class runners than the race field itself. The crews were literally a who's who of the running elite: Deena Kastor, Jenn Shelton, and scores of Badwater veterans.
There were a lot of rules! Support vans had to be tagged with the runner's name and number. Crews had to adhere to race and traffic rules. The logistics involved seemed overwhelming.
As the race got underway I saw the need for all the rules. The 80 racers and some 400 crew members traveled across Death Valley like a well choreographed dance. Everyone worked together, runners and crew helping each other.
Just after the race began a woman approached me yelling, "Hey Hammer Girl." (I was wearing my Hammer Nutrition shirt.) It seemed her runner had forgotten his HEED and was wondering if I had any. Our crew van was with Doug and I wasn't sure if we had any HEED to spare. Fortunately we had an extra container so when our crew shift started, we tracked down the needy runner and delivered the HEED to his very appreciative crew.
Pacing Doug was much like pacing at any other ultra, except I had to stay behind, not in front of, him. My job was to keep him moving forward, limiting stops and distractions, while monitoring fluid and fuel intake. We dealt with the usual sleepiness, nausea, and sore feet. There were times that Doug wanted to sit or rest, so I began timing his stops and only allowing him 5 minutes. I kept him motivated by asking him about topics that he enjoyed talking about. Another tactic that worked was asking him to "run to the next marker." The reality is that Doug had a great race and was a joy to pace and crew, even when the temps reached 110 during my 8-hour pacing shift.
Keeping the runner cool was something very new to me. I have been hot enough in races to drop some ice cubes into my hat and jog bra, but Badwater takes cooling to a whole new level. Our van was stocked with four huge coolers. The "refrigerator" was for those food and drinks which need to stay cool, but were not used frequently. One "coffin" cooler was used just to store about 20 bags of ice. The other coffin cooler was full of drinks, water bottles, plus ice and water to be used for keeping Doug cool. The last was a 7-gallon drink cooler full of ice and water. This cooler was kept sanitary and only an ice scoop was used to put ice in his water bottles, so that no bacteria would get into his drinking water.
Doug used various methods to stay cool. The Moeben hemp wrap was soaked in ice water and worn around his head and shoulders (these were given to each race entrant). He also used the ice bandanas (specially made bandanas that can be filled with ice and tied around the neck), and water spays (industrial or garden sprayers filled with ice water that the crew used to mist him as he passed). All these measures seemed to work well as he never complained about the heat.
Besides the coolers, which took up the majority of the van, we had a tall chest of drawers with everything Doug might need: medical supplies, sunscreen, medications (anti-gas, anti-inflammatory , anti-nausea, etc), Endurolytes, sports lube, powder, foot kit, batteries, lights, etc. There was also a chair and a large umbrella; we had to hide Doug with the umbrella when he needed to change clothes or urinate (there are no bushes to duck behind). We also had two-way radios so the pacer could inform the crew of anything Doug needed before we passed the van again.
We also had a notebook in the van with all of the crew information and a spot to record all of Doug's intake and output (as well as anything else we thought interesting or pertinent). It was nice to be able to look at this and realize that Doug needed something. He typically drank about 20-24 oz of water and took three Endurolytes per hour. He supplemented HEED with various drinks and food throughout the race.
Overall, I was most impressed with all of the organization. Doug had assembled a first class crew, provided us with all of the information we needed to help him, be where we needed to be, and take care of ourselves. Doug's race was terrific, there were no horror stories, no giant blisters, no endless vomiting. He was even running up the 13 miles to to the Whitney Portal finish line!
Of course the finish line of any event is the highlight and this was no different. Doug crossed the line with all six of us in tow, was greeted by Chris Kostman, the race director, and presented with his buckle, medal, and coveted finisher's shirt.
The race experience wasn't over yet: The post-race awards and party was more of the same: camaraderie, appreciation, and friendship. Runners and crew assembled to applaud the efforts of each one out there. The race recap video was touching! But a couple of amazing things stand out about the results: First, only 7 runners DNF'd. This is one of the most brutal events in the world and yet a huge majority of these runners battle the crazy conditions and make it to the finish line. Second, many of them were finishing more that once, some up to 15 times. Veteran crew members were also recognized, with two women having crewed ten times each!
When Doug had first approached me about coaching him to get to Badwater, my response was, "I'm happy to work with you through the qualifying events but I am not comfortable coaching you for Badwater itself." I knew Badwater is a special kind of race with a set of circumstances (namely heat) with which I had never dealt before. So, I worked with Doug on his qualifying 100-mile races. For training, he did up to 100 miles per week but was not consistent with his running until he started a running group in San Antonio. The group forced him to be consistent because he was expected to show up for runs.
Because he had crewed at Badwater several times he knew what it would take to finish. He was very organized and had every aspect of his race preplanned, but also had alternate plans in case things did not go well. Another aspect of Doug's success was intense training in the Texas heat with the van and crew just as it would be during the race. This enabled everyone to experience what we would be up against. Doug tested everything from race fuel to clothing, shoes, and more. He even figured out which shoes he could wear, and when, based on how quickly they dried. Lastly, Doug's participation in a 48-hour event really helped boost his confidence and gave him a taste of how it would feel to be on his feet for that length of time. All of this added up to a great experience for him and his crew. Each of us was ready to take on the Badwater task and Doug had a "picture perfect race" as crewmember Brenda Carawan put it.
We all spent two days in Las Vegas after the race, lounging and eating (a lot). Doug drove back to San Antonio and began doing short runs the next week. He says the most difficult part of recovery has been sleepiness and being tired. It took him the better part of two weeks to get caught up on rest. His next race is the Arkansas Traveler 100 in October.
While I still contend that this is not a race for me (I have learned "never say never"), I now understand the allure of Badwater. I understand that this group of runners is somehow connected and part of a very special corps of athletes who have not only overcome, but embraced, the climate and adversity of Death Valley.

Home Players First team Wenger: Oxlade-Chamberlain happy at wing-back
Wenger: Oxlade-Chamberlain happy at wing-back
Arsene Wenger has hinted he's going to stick with the three at the back formation for a while, by talking about how happy Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is playing as a wing-back in the new formation.
The Arsenal manager was asked about the England international being named Arsenal's Player of the Month (winning out ahead of Inanimate Carbon Rod, some glue, and a chair leg), and suggested he's enjoying his football in yet another different position.
The 23 year old has played as a left winger, right winger, attacking midfielder, central midfielder and even defensive midfielder, but had a man of the match showing at Wembley as Arsenal beat Man City 2-1 to reach the FA Cup final.
"His performances have been convincing and positive," said Wenger. "It looks like he's made a move forward. I'm very pleased for him.
"He's happy with his position, where he's playing at the moment. I'm convinced that he has all the qualities to play well there so hopefully it will give him the needed confidence."
It also sounds like he's willing to play him there ahead of Hector Bellerin for the time being, despite making it clear that he still sees his future in a more central position.
As for his long-term future, Wenger once again insisted that the Ox had to be retained and hoped a deal could be struck this summer.
"Personally, as I have told you many times, he has to commit his future to the club and I hope he will do that in the summer," he said.

He is a good option too. Who bought this bloke?
Such a composed young lad.
And they say David Dein doesn't know how to buy players.
Next they will tell you players don't improve under Wenger…like err Monreal and Koscielny perhaps?:D
The Loon Ranger
That's the main thing Professor, that all the players are happy.Doesn't matter if we have a disaster of a season…..wait a fckn moment. Actually it does, the people who pay their hard earned money for tickets. THEY'RE the ones who have to be happy. I'm so bloody disillusioned every stupid soundbite is making me more Victor Meldrew.
Liam Bradys left peg
You, me and thousands of others just dont believe it!!!
Mein Bergkampf
Of course he's happy. He couldn't get 90 mins of football in CM. Thing is, he's not wing back. He can do a job and put in a shift but he has no defensive qualities at all. Unfortunately over the last few years Wenger has collected a plethora of players who only seem suited to ACM and now has to deploy them all over the pitch.
Clearly he will still have some flaws in his game when playing wingback. It is a position he still needs to fully familiarise himself with.
Point in case, his attempt at clearing the ball off the line with the wrong leg.
That said, plenty of players were in a position to do better for that goal, Gibbs particularly who was caught ball watching.
This game against United I feel we should switch Ox to an inverted left wing back ahead of Monreal :
1) It will allow us to play Bellerin on the right and better balance our threat going forward.
2) Monreal tucked in on the left of the back 3 will allow Ox to better push forward with season protection behind him.
3) It will also in turn allow Alexis to stay forward and do more damage up field.
They have some young flyers in Liingard, Rashford and Martial who will try and catch us on the break so we will have to match them with pace of Ox and Bellerrin, try and hem them back in their half if possible.
But their Cback pairing is not convincing.
I would start Welbeck because he will have cause to impress against the old employ. BUT should he fail to deliver (and he has been wasteful missing a number of sitters in last two games he has featured), then Giroud or Walcott may come into play.
There is NO plan B.
We do not have a complete striker. Giroud is strong against deep lying opponents but clearly mobility is not his strong suit (although too much is made of this as he is efficient with his movement in recent seasons)
Walcott can deliver but is also predictable to read and needs space.
Welbeck as mentioned is unconvincing thus far in front of goal conspiring to miss some gifts.
I would put on Giroud should Mourinho retreat United into a shell and try to take us on the counter with Rashford, Liingard and Martial. He is better working in confine areas breaking the door down or laying off in tight channels.
But if the game opens up and their lines become stretch, Walcott is the better option in which case I would almost switch to a 3-4-1-2 with Alexis and Walcott pressurising the Cbacks as a pair.
Everything should depend on circumstance.
Heavenly Chapecoense
I love Giroud but players out of form shouldn't play. I know all the team is out of form but I mean abject form. Sanchez as a CF, Welbeck on left and Perez on right.
Cliff Bastin
Sanchez was horrendous against spurs
Donald\'s Trump
How is welbeck or Perez in better form than Giroud?
Lord Nicki B
Why does everyone favour inanimate carbon rod for player of the month?
Won't someone please think of Frank Grimes?
I don't care much where Ox has played, i rather care that he'd stop slowing down the team and losing balls. Making him the new star of Arsenal shows the ambition of the club and the demands of the fans. Low, very low… Watching guys like Sané for City and not understanding the buzz around Ox…
but what about Bellerin…now we're going to piss him off, no?
OneBeatOff
Does anyone suspect that there really is serious interest from Barcelona and that the Ox has been adapted to that position as a preemptive measure? Its just, when introduced, I thought Bellerin could play wingback.
Chuffy
In recent years Wenger has turned players full of potential like the Ox into mediocrity. Think Walcott, think Gnabry, think Wilshire, think Ramsey. All these players have been managed badly over the years. Over playing them and chopping and changing their positions. It is terrible really that a manager of Wengers experience has taken years to figure out where they should play on the pitch. They have become confused individuals without any real identity on the pitch and with no idea about how to assert themselves psychologically. They have become almost like zombies, who just reel out Wengerisms after a match echoing the sentiments of a once great man manager who is succumbing to his stubbornness and self determination.

i cant agree enough , theres just so many players regressed under wenger . some of the players we can maybe understand , wilshere is obviously injured all the time , walcot is nowhere near the hype . but so many other players ramsey , ox , even wordcup winners and best players in euros look like utter shit at arsenal like mustafi , cech , xhaka . it's easy to say these players are poor , but these guys have proved it elsewhere and maybe just maybe the fault lies with how the players are being used.
It pains me to say this but I agree with you in principle. While I understand Wenger's logic, I think it would be better to let a player learn his role and get used to it while others around him get used to him in that role. However, when you play a different position, you get to know what a player in that position does and the best way to work with them. Our main problem currently is the lack of a focal point. We used to have a better flowing game with Giroud as the focal point for goal kicks and the guy whom the midfielders could bounce the ball off. Unfortunately, the players also seem to have forgotten how to use him. As we have all said, he is a confidence player, he is getting little or no supply to be able to score. The only people with decent attempts at high crosses have been Nacho Monreal and The Ox. Crosses from Sanchez to Giroud have been atrocious to say the least, while Bellerin has been trying low crosses that tend to reach no one in particular.
I know I will get a lot of stick for this, but despite his pace and power, Welbeck is a load of bollocks. Despite all his starts he has a very low return. I understand he has age on his side, but Manure is not a crappy side, and if they thought he was dispensable, maybe it is because he is. We were all excited we got another English talent, all people love shiny new toys, but we have to cut our losses. I think he is among the players who should be let go.
Injuries stopped and started the careers of all of those players. don't forget the Years of injury problems for Walcott, the bad timing of injuries to Ox, obviously Ramsey and Wilshere, and then Gnabry had a really bad long-term injury.
Stuck on repeat...
Personally I think that the Ox has been a standout player for the club this season. He was asked to up his game & has actually delivered on this time & time again. Is he perfect or our best player? No, but at least he is one of a few that have consistently managed to up his game. Far too many other players seem to be going in the opposite direction. Genuinely hope he stays with the club.
Vonnie
He's had two or three good games and now everyone forgets how rubbish he's been for most of the season. I hope he can come right, but he needs to improve his focus and decision making before he can be anywhere near a standout player. Oh, and not cough up the ball 20 times in the NLD. He's a player that I think is worth keeping, but he hasn't managed to consistently anything, and has a lot of work to do if he's going to live up to his potential.
Mate Kiddleton
He's had far more hits than misses this season than previous ones, where I felt he was regressing. Definitely improving this year, and his passing range has definitely been on the up.
Stringer Bell
That's part of problem though isn't it. Waiting and hoping for players to improve, Ox Theo welbeck Giroud xhaka coq Gabriel Mustafi. Chelsea are not waiting or hoping that players will improve, their proving now. Some of these players have been here years and would have been sold a long time ago under any top manager. I didn't inckudr Ramsey cos there's no point. a rank average player that when he eventually scores you will see how many sing his praises and acclaim that he's back
Goonerman
Totally agree, I think the effort Ox has put in has been second to none, the semi final being his best. Also people have been moaning about his defensive qualities but he has run his arse off of late getting back to defend
Ox is one of the few in this group that I really like and believe in. His skill set is huge, potential is massive, and I think he has been really let down since joining us. So many of his best performances have come in the middle, so why is he constantly moved around? I know there are factors that have effected his selection in other positions but he's been here 6 years without a proper run in his preferred and best position. He's been encouraging at right wing back but come on, surely no one really thinks he's gonna spend his career as a right back. He's had so many games at CM where he has been outstanding, we've all said 'Right, this is it, he's found his position, he can kick on.' And then the next week he's moved again. I look at how good Dembele has been for Spurs and I think Ox has many similar qualities, granted he isn't quite as defensively switched on, it would be nice if he had a coach that could perhaps teach him that side of the game.
It's not as though anyone else has been more convincing than him at the heart of the midfield. Personally, with Xhaka out, I'd want to see Ox and Elneny in the middle against United, with Ramsey playing further forward behind Sanchez as a 9.
OX has said loads of times he prefers central midfield, you keep playing him out on that wing so that you can fit your shite Welsh bum chum in midfield you senile fuckwit and watch him bugger off to Anfield in the summer – no matter how well he regurgitates your media spin.
I love playing on the wing
the boss knows exactly what he's doing
blah blah fucking blah
hello Mr. Klopp
CharlieGeorge
Haha 'bum-chum'. You've used some very strong language for a 6 year old.
haha reads through a passage of text, ignores every point it contains but laughs at some funny words – who's the 6 year old here pal?
Wright on the money
It's good playing this system but we need a solid centre midfielder though mainly to help the defence when the wing backs get forward.
Keown\'s Sideburns
I think we should play Cech as striker and Giroud in goal. Ozil central defence because he's physically tough and always up for the fight. Coq should play number 10 as he's assured on the ball and always able to spot forward runners.
So now Bellerin is some kind of afterthought? Yeah, this makes a lot of sense…
Igbo Amadi-Obi
And that, my friends, is how come Alex Oxlaide Chamberlain is unable to develop into anything in particular, when he should be approaching the peak of his career. Because Mr. Wenger is unable to develop him with any focus. Right, left, middle, back, here, there, everywhere, nowhere, and a promising footballing career is being spent floundering. It happened to Walcott and Coquelin and Podolski and Ashravin and Campbell. It is happening to Sanchez and Welbeck and Ramsey and Chambers and…

LENNOX STREET
LENNOX STREET [PORTOBELLO AREA OF DUBLIN]
Several older streets in the neighbourhood (Richmond, Harrington, Lennox, Heytesbury and Camden) were named after British Viceroys. Newer streets were often named after the estates they were built on. Stamer Street, developed around 1880, was named after Sir William Stamer, Lord Mayor in 1809 and 1819 (a relative of his, Standish O'Grady, was killed in a duel in 1830 by Captain Smith from Portobello Barracks, who received twelve months for manslaughter). Foundlings left at Harrington Street church were usually named after one of the surrounding streets.

Last month a TV broadcasting group BSkyB dragged Microsoft to court over copyright infringement of two of their UK registered trademarks named 'SKY'. Though apart from the root word "Sky" both the services have nothing else common in between them.
Today, the result of the verdict has come out. In a confidential settlement, the giant software maker has been ordered to change the name of their cloud-based storage service SkyDrive to something else. Microsoft can't pledge any further appeal and has been granted a sensible period of time to rebrand their cloud-storage service and get done with this transition. It is yet not known when Microsoft will announce the new name. Rumors do suggest that the name Microsoft Drive may be under consideration.
This isn't the first time Microsoft has been found muddling over name disputes, last year, a rumor of Microsoft thinning the term "Metro" to describe their Windows 8 apps because of its assertion with a Germany's Metro AG did round on several social networking sites.
It is worth knowing that Sky once had a cloud service named Sky Store & Share in the past. The service allowed its customers to store photos, files and calendar. That might be why the court favored BSkyB.
SkyDrive is a nice name. It will be sad to see Microsoft change it.
If I were a giant like Microsoft, headquartered in the US, I'd not more change a big brand name like that than I would shoot a bullet into my own forehead.
Microsoft should, first, turn-off Skydrive to all persons and companies in the UK; and then it should buy BSkyB (do a hostile takeover or whatever is necessary to outright own it), then shut it down (makiing all its employees without jobs), and then sell-off all its assets.
Let the UK judge wear and answer for THAT responsibility!

Q: Git log shows very little after doing a read-tree merge So I have done a merge of another repository into a subdirectory of the current repository, as:
git remote add -f Bproject /path/to/B
git merge -s ours --no-commit Bproject/master
git read-tree --prefix=dir-B/ -u Bproject/master
git commit -m "Merge B project as our subdirectory"

There seem to be subtle problems, though. When I do
git log dir-B/

the result is just the "Merge B project as our subdirectory" message. How do I get the log information I want, that is, the imported history of dir-B?

A: Your merge commit shows example.txt in BProject/master as being renamed to dir-B/example.txt. git log doesn't follow the history of a file/directory past renaming unless the --follow option was used:
--follow
Continue listing the history of a file beyond renames (works only for a single file).

If you are really desperate to get the diffs showing correctly, you can rewrite the Bproject/master history as though the project has always been in a directory dir-B, then do an ordinary merge. This will mean the SHAs of the merged history bear no relation to the ones on Bproject/master! The timestamp, author and commit message will all retain their original values though.
If you want to do this, I would suggest cloning Bproject seperately first, then running this in that clone:
git-filter-branch manpage

To move the whole tree into a subdirectory, or remove it from there:
git filter-branch --index-filter \
        'git ls-files -s | sed "s-\t\"*-&newsubdir/-" |
                GIT_INDEX_FILE=$GIT_INDEX_FILE.new \
                        git update-index --index-info &&
         mv "$GIT_INDEX_FILE.new" "$GIT_INDEX_FILE"' HEAD

After you've confirmed the new history looks correct, you can add your rewritten version as a remote to your main project and merge it in using an ordinary merge.

A: Based on r3m0t's idea of rewriting history, following lines did the whole trick for me, to merge the other git repository as new branch into my existing one into a sub directory:
(working in git-sh I could omit the leading 'git' for commands)
co -b my-new-branch
remote add -f origin-my-old-standalone-project ../my-old-standalone-project/
pull origin-my-old-standalone-project master
mkdir my-new-subdir
ci -am "merge 'old' standalone project as new branch 'my-new-branch'"
git filter-branch --index-filter \
        'git ls-files -s | sed "s%\t\"*%&my-new-subdir/%" |
                GIT_INDEX_FILE=$GIT_INDEX_FILE.new \
                        git update-index --index-info &&
         mv "$GIT_INDEX_FILE.new" "$GIT_INDEX_FILE"' HEAD

After that I had both: A history for individual files in the new sub directory as if they have been there all the time, and the normal history in the main directory, as if the new files in the sub directory always had been there.
(As you can see, no read-tree or any other not daily used commands are necessary, the 'filter-branch' does the whole trick.) IDE's are able (resp. should be; successfully tested PyCharm) to work normally with the result.
After that you should be able to merge your branches as normally, getting all projects into one.
tl;dr: --follow works as expected, normal history also, after executing above 6 commands to merge old git project into new branch and sub directory of other git project

I Read More Than 100 Books in 2022—Here Are 10 I Recommend
written by MEGAN STROUP TRISTAO
Source: @emilybookedup
I made a reading resolution in 2022 to read fewer books. You read that right—as someone who reads a lot, I wanted to spend more time this year on other things, like developing more hobbies. I wouldn't say I failed my goal—I did read fewer books than I did in 2021!—but I still finished more than 100 books, so I could certainly dedicate even more time to other hobbies next year. In any case, I was fortunate to read many wonderful books this year, but here are the 10 that stood out. From epic historical fantasy to creative memoirs and pandemic fiction to spicy romance, I hope you'll find something on this list of book recommendations to add to your 2023 TBR.
R.F. Kuang
One of the benefits of focusing on reading fewer books this year meant I was encouraged to pick up lengthier tomes that I may have put off in the past. Exhibit A: This historical fantasy epic set in an alternate-history Oxford is worth every one of its nearly 600 pages! This genius novel features a group of translation students and clever commentary on colonialism, imperialism, civil disobedience and so much more.
Mai Al-Nakib
An Unlasting Home
This debut novel tells the story of three generations of women on both sides of a Kuwaiti family from the early 20th century to almost-present day. The majority of the story is set in Kuwait (where the author was born), but it also spans India, Iraq, Lebanon and the United States. I fell in love with these characters, and I enjoyed learning about the political and social history of Kuwait through their stories.
Ingrid Rojas Contreras
The Man Who Moved Clouds
This is a fantastic memoir/family history by a Colombian writer exploring the legacy of curanderos/as in her family. The story features a number of ghosts and a healthy dose of family drama, and I was especially interested in the way the author (who has Indigenous ancestry) talks about the colonial gaze on South American and Indigenous writing and traditions. If you enjoyed Rojas Contreras' novel Fruit of the Drunken Tree, I think her memoir was even better.
Bolu Babalola
Honey & Spice
I think Bolu Babalola is one of the funniest authors on Twitter, and her debut romance novel did not disappoint! This laugh-out-loud story features a college student in the U.K. who enters a fake relationship with the campus hottie to help improve her radio show ratings. The radio show is a big part of the book, so I found the audiobook was the perfect format for this story.
Sequoia Nagamatsu
How High We Go in the Dark
This dark but ultimately hopeful novel-in-stories begins in 2030 Siberia and continues for decades as a pandemic ravages the world. I should warn you that though I found this book hopeful, my book club … did not agree. But if you can handle some bleakness, I thought these stories were beautiful and thought-provoking. I mean, a chapter about a pig made me cry, so if that's not a ringing endorsement, I don't know what is.
Ling Ma
Bliss Montage
I love recommending short story collections to busy readers or people who are trying to get back into reading for pleasure. This unsettlingly good collection by the author of Severance (another pandemic novel from several years ago) was the best I read this year. Ma's surreal stories defy genre and blur the edges of reality, portraying everyday occurrences with a surprising twist.
This creative nonfiction book tells the story of the American South through various mechanisms to add nuance to the often flattened stereotype of the South that the rest of the nation (and even the world) often sees. Perry pulls together different threads including historical figures, unsung heroes, physical monuments, culinary traditions, art and dance, and even her personal genealogy research to craft her brilliant narrative of the South. Bonus: The audiobook narrated by the author is excellent.
When We Were Sisters
I have a soft spot for prose written by poets, so when I saw the author of the poetry collection If They Come for Us was publishing a novel, I was beyond excited. This debut novel featuring a trio of orphaned sisters who are adopted by a neglectful relative did not disappoint, and Asghar's lyrical style shines in the experimental writing and unique structure of the book.
Tara Stringfellow
Speaking of debut novels by poets, I was captivated by this multigenerational tale of three generations of Black women in Memphis, Tennessee. The way Stringfellow writes about mother/daughter relationships and sister relationships is beautifully and painfully real, and the city of Memphis was a character unto itself.
Sara Nović
True Biz
Having read Nović's debut novel several years ago (about the Balkan wars of the 1990s), I was surprised and impressed to see her sophomore novel was completely different. Set at a boarding school for the Deaf, True Biz has all the hallmarks of a great campus novel—rebellious students, teachers with complicated motivations and definitely a dash of scandal—while also situating campus life within the wider social and political forces that affect Deaf culture.
