We want to get customer sales info into peachtree. Do we need the Micros AR module or can this info be had with the "basic" 3700 GSS and are the scripts for retrieving that data in your support scripts?
1. Getlinked will pull the information from the GSS customer file on a daily basis using sql scripts and we do not need the Micros GSS AR module to accomplish this correct??
2. Those sql scripts are or will be available to us so we can generate the file you will need to move into peachtree?
3. The invoice mentioned in the summary data (for Micros) is really just that GSS customer's sales for the day?
Last edited by dpward on Mon Mar 11, 2013 10:18 am, edited 1 time in total.
Thank you for the questions and summary.
Question 1: Do we need the Micros AR module...?
Answer 1: No. You do not need the "Micros AR module".
You do need the "Micros 3700 Guest Service Solution (GSS) module. GETLinked Software imports customers and their transactions from the Micros 3700 GSS module.
Micros does have two modules for storing invoice transactions: AR and GSS.
Choose the GETLinked Software Accounts Receivable (ARLink) module when ordering your subscription at our online Store. GETLinked Software will import your customers and their data from Micros GSS on a "daily basis" (weekly, monthly, etc. basis also allowed) then transfer the valid transactions into your financial accounting software (ex. QuickBooks, etc.) to age and send out statements to members/customers.
Question 2: Are the scripts for retrieving that data in your support scripts?
Answer 2: Yes. The Micros GSS SQL scripts are available at our online Support site. This site is available to all current customers.
Does GETLinked Software Accounts Receivables module transfer Summary or Detail Invoice data?
Does GETLinked Software ARLink module import Summary or Detail Invoice data from Micros Guest Services Solution (GSS)?

Our World Climate Exercise, a role-playing game that simulates the UN climate change negotiations, has been played around the world from classes of school children in Austria to a visiting group of Chinese officials at MIT. The interest and enthusiasm from the community of people leading this exercise has meant several have volunteered to translate our materials from English into French, Chinese, and German.
Materials for the exercise in French are the latest addition to the collection, which we recently received from Laurent Richard, a French math teacher in Boston. You can find these materials and our other translations among the facilitator's resources on our website. Let me know if you've used World Climate — we are always interested to find out how our tools have been of use and would love further translation of our materials.


OKLAHOMA CITY – A young metro woman was killed after leaving the roadway for an unknown reason and crashing into a culvert and utility pole. It happened around 11 p.m. Thursday near S.E. 149th and Peebly Road.
According to officials with the Oklahoma City Police Department, officers responded to the area after the driver of a small SUV left the road for an unknown reason and struck a culvert and utility pole, which caused some power outages in the area.
"I was just watching TV and, about 10-10:30 or something like that, the TV shut off and then I got up to see what was going on," Roberts said.
According to officers on scene, people driving by the scene stopped to try and help the victim, who's been identified by police as 27-year-old Franchezca Van Wagner. Unfortunately, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police are still investigating what caused Van Wagner to crash.

and dissolution, and the maid found them willing to be gathered into order at the arrest of any new object, being weary of the first, of which like leeches they had sucked their fill till they fell down and burst. The weeping woman took her cordial, and was not angry with her maid, and heard the soldier talk. And he was so pleased with the change, that he, who first loved the silence of the sorrow, was more in love with the music of her returning voice, especially which himself had strung and put in tune. And the man began to talk amorously, and the woman's weak head and heart was soon possessed with a little wine, and grew gay, and talked and fell in love; and that very night, in the morning of her passion, in the grave of her husband, in the pomps of mourning, and in her funeral garments, married her new and stranger guest. For so the wild foragers of Lybia, being spent with heat, and dissolved by the two fond kisses of the sun, do melt with their common fires, and die with faintness, and descend with motions slow and unable to the little brooks that descend from heaven in the wilderness; and when they drink, they return into the vigour of a new life, and contract strange marriages; and the lioness is courted by a panther, and she listens to his love, and conceives a monster that all men call unnatural, and the daughter of an equivocal passion and of a sudden refreshment. And so also was it in
the cave at Ephesus : for by this time the soldier bed gan to think it was fit he should return to his watch, and observe the dead bodies be had in charge ; but when he ascended from his mourning bridal chamber, he found that one of the bodies was stolen by the friends of the dead; and he was fallen into an evil condition, because by the laws of Ephesus, his body was to be fixed in the place of it. The poor man returns to his woman, cries out bitterly, and in her
presence resolves to die to prevent his death, and in secret to prevent his shame. But now the woman's love was raging like her former sadness, and grew witty, and she comforted her/ soldier, and persuaded him to live, lest by losing him, who had brought her from death and a more grievous sorrow, she should return to her old solemnities of dying, and lose her honour for a dream, or the reputation of her constancy without the change and satisfaction of an enjoyed love. The man would fain have lived, if it had been possible, and she found out this way
for him; that he should take the body of her first husband, whose funeral she had so strangely mourned, and put it upon the gallows in place of the stolen thief. He did so, and escaped the present danger, to possess a love which might change as violently as her grief her done. But so have I seen a crowd of disordered people rush violently and in heaps till their utmost border was restrained by a wall, or bad
spent the fury of the first fluctuation and watery progress, and by and by it returned to the contrary with the same earnestness, only because it was violent and ungoverned. A raging passion is this crowd, which; when it is not under discipline and the conduct of reason, and the proportions of temperate humanity, runs passionately the way it happens, and by and by as greedily to another side, being swayed by its own weight; and driven ariy whither by chance; in all its pursuits, having no rule but to do all it can, and spend itself in haste, and expire with some shame and much indecency:

LILLY.
William Lilly, the famous English astrologer, was born in Leicestershire, in 1602. His parents not being in affluent circumstances, were unable to give their son a liberal education. Having been taught therefore a little writing and arithmetic in the country school of Ashby de la Zouch, he resolved to try his fortune in London, where he arrived in 1620. He first became servant to a mantuamaker, then book-keeper to the master of a salter's company in the Strand, who dying, he was so successful as to marry his widow with a fortune of 1000l.
Being now at his ease, he frequented the sermons and lectures of the Puritans; and in 1632, commenced the study of astrology, under the tuition of one Evans, a debauched

3/F, 27 HU QIU ROAD, HUANGPU DISTRICT.
Perrotin Shanghai is pleased to announce Melancolía, a solo exhibition by Spanish born and New York based artist, Cristina BanBan. This is her first show with the gallery and her first exhibition in mainland China.

BanBan's large scale paintings are immediately recognizable. Their broad range of fleshy hues and voluptuous brushstrokes depict scenes of contemporary life and snapshots of intimacy. Her female subjects tend toward the Rubenesque, with features enlarged and elongated that spill towards the edge of frame. These consciously exaggerated figures contain an illustrative clarity of form, occasionally tempered by gestural and abstract intrusions. This combination of precision and obstruction serves to define an emotional response that feels both realistic and swirled through that of memory and feeling.
BanBan's new body of work challenges this narrow portrayal of the female subject. Her paintings defy any canonical notions of how women should be depicted or understood. She paints women as she sees them and from an autobiographical perspective, in all their wildness, vulnerability, beauty, and complexity.
— From Kathy Battista, "Pretty When You Cry"
Le Déjeuner at the Park Güell, 2021
While BanBan's work engages in direct communion with art historical painting, she also draws from her own reserves of personal recollection and invention. Her ability to merge the contemporary with historical notes underlines an interesting paradox found in the work—a vision both timeless and timely. This can be seen in Le Déjeuner at the Park Güell, a group portrait that takes its figurative composition's inspiration from Manet's Le déjeuner sur l'herbe. Here, BanBan takes the classical formal cues, but updates the participants and scene to contemporary Barcelona—in Gaudi's famous park—with a shimmering Mediterranean milieu. The feeling is that of viewing an old snapshot of a group that has since split. Happy, languorous, and sad all at the same time.
Irene and Sara Peeling Potatoes in Greenpoint, 2021
A certain sense of longing runs through the work. BanBan, who moved to New York shortly before the global pandemic, tacks a distinctly personal narrative to this body of work. Morriña is a Galician and Spanish word that claims no direct English translation, but is loosely defined as "sadness or melancholy, especially nostalgia for the country of one's birth." This can be discerned in Manchego, where the painting's subjects longingly indulge in Spanish delicacies with Extremadura—a particularly folkloric region of Spain—visible in the background. That same Iberian melancholy runs throughout the exhibition's course. In Irene and Sara Peeling Potatoes in Greenpoint we see this again underlined as two friends of BanBan's— other Spanish exiles—peel tubers in preparation for a Spanish tortilla.

These scenes are steeped with nostalgia and longing, offer condensed visions of home that call out to the artist: a gesture of flamenco, scatterings of Castilian roses, a laced espadrille running up a thigh. Pura morriña indeed.
I paint about my own fears and worries and feelings. I filter everything through my own experiences and the body I use the most is a woman's body. In many cases I put myself in the painting too.

Cristina BanBan paints large-scale canvases filled with bodies in a bold palette of fleshy hues, their voluptuous forms emphasized with wide brushstrokes. Corporal and emotive, she depicts scenes of contemporary life, portraits of intimate moments, lonesome or shared among family and friends. BanBan's maximalist compositions are marked by subjects spilling out of the confines of the canvas, bearing exaggerated eyes and enlarged hands and feet. Citing a diverse range of references, from Lucian Freud to Pablo Picasso, BanBan asserts her figures — sinewy bodies running and interacting with ease — into an art historical canon penned by the male gaze.

Experts: Dhaka-based population overload causes 6% GDP drop
Over-concentrated development and population overflow in the capital has cast a grave impact on Bangladesh's gross domestic product (GDP), even decreasing its growth by 6% or more, experts said during a conference recently.
The findings were revealed during a paper presentation at an annual conference organized by the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS) last week.
Ahmad Ahsan of Policy Research Institute of Bangladesh (PRI) made the remark during his presentation, adding that the overload was also impacting overall urban development, while also causing congestion and pollution.
The cost of traffic jams amounted to 2-3% of the GDP as direct effects. The city's growth creates overgrowth of primates, concentrating population and development within the centre of the city, he also said.
Ahsan, also a former lead economist at the World Bank, said that overgrowth of primates (the largest city) can undermine the other cities' growth and the cities can overgrow because of market failures arising from lumpy investment-fixed costs and externalities, network effects and circular cumulative causation.
He also said that migration, which is highly welfare-enhancing, also has limits even in advanced economies.
He shared data of World Development Index that show urban population share of primate city in Bangladesh is 31.9%, which is 3% in China, 6% in India, 7.4% in Indonesia, 22.6% in Pakistan and 23.2% in Vietnam
He cited another paper by Mohammad Yunus, senior research fellow of BIDS, which shows a gap between east and west part of the country in per-capita consumption by estimating income, poverty and inequality in the two regions.
The economist said the disparities could not narrow the gap between cities, adding that poverty is much more acute in the west districts than in east districts.
He cited a household income and expenditure survey in which west districts appear to experience more convergence of poverty measures than east districts by one percent whether it is poverty-headcount rate, poverty gap or squared poverty gap.

Brian France Message To NASCAR Fan Council Members
After a rough couple of seasons, NASCAR is ready to begin 2010 with some major changes in place. Historically, NASCAR has been one of the least interactive sanctioning bodies. Fans trying to contact the organization were actually given a post office box address in Daytona Beach, FL. Click here to see the page.
Thanks to the efforts of several key staff members, that dynamic has changed rather drastically over the last two years. Now, NASCAR has every series on Twitter along with most of the tracks, teams and sponsors. Information now flows much easier to the media and fans are better connected to the sport.
One hot topic has been the NASCAR Fan Council. Originally a pretty low-key group, they were pushed into the spotlight when France pointed out that the 2010 changes were largely due to their feedback.
Surveys are emailed regularly to the twelve thousand fans chosen to participate and the responses are then sorted by a marketing organization for content. Topics have ranged from Digger to doublefile restarts "shootout style." The questions have been remarkably frank and honest in addressing topics that NASCAR would never have confronted or even admitted in the past.
Fan Council members got an end of season letter from France recently, here is a portion:
Today I want to discuss two exciting improvements you might be aware of that will positively impact the entire 2010 season. Importantly, feedback from fans like you helped make these improvements possible!
First, we recently announced that NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races will adhere to more consistent and earlier start times beginning next season. Being able to anticipate when races begin will help both fans in attendance and those watching at home better plan their weekends without missing a minute of racing.
We will be returning to our roots by beginning many races earlier in the day. Next season, twenty races will be moved to 1 pm ET, including the Daytona 500, and most Saturday night races will now begin at 7:30 pm ET. For daytime events taking place on the West coast, a standard start time of 3 pm ET will be established. In addition to being more convenient for the fans viewing at home, I believe these earlier start times will greatly help fans attending the races to get on the way home sooner in the evening. Earlier start times will also eliminate the need for an extra day of travel for many of our fans.
Secondly, Double-File Restarts will be in effect throughout the entire 2010 season in all three national series (NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR Nationwide Series, and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series). This improvement was introduced at the Pocono Raceway event in June of 2009, placing the leaders in the front of the field, double-file, with lapped cars placed at the rear.
These improvements were all made after consulting with NASCAR Fan Council members like you. We look forward to hearing more of your thoughts and opinions in the future, so that we can work together to make NASCAR the best it can be. As we head into 2010, NASCAR will continue to focus on what's most important - delivering the best possible racing to the fans.
That is a remarkable step forward for an organization that has been less than democratic for a very long time. Perhaps, the 2007 start time changes made for the TV partners taught NASCAR a valuable lesson about what group really needs to be the priority in future decision making.
Hopefully, the information gathered from the NASCAR Fan Council members during the 2010 season will be shared in a more timely and public fashion. A frequent reminder than fans are actively involved in helping to shape future policy can only bring positive results.

Q: JavaFX webview scrollbar draw not cleared I have an AnchorPane which contains a WebView that contains some content and a scrollbar. The WebView is loaded from an FXML file, and the content is plain html (and some css for styling of course).
Everything works fine, except when I want to scroll or resize the window. Then this happens (after some scrolling and resizing):

.
It looks like the scrollbar is redrawn but not cleared. Same goes for the horizontal scrollbar. I have another pane which also has a scrollbar (not a webview though) and that works fine.
The Java code for the HelpPane (which extends AnchorPane) is very simple:
public HelpPane() {
    FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("/resources/fxml/HelpPane.fxml"));
    loader.setClassLoader(getClass().getClassLoader());
    loader.setController(this);

    try {
        Node ui = loader.load();
        getChildren().add(ui);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

The FXML that creates the webview is also nothing special:
<AnchorPane fx:id="apnHelpBody" styleClass="paneBody" VBox.vgrow="ALWAYS">
    <children>
        <WebView fx:id="webFunctionDoc" focusTraversable="false" maxHeight="-1.0" maxWidth="-1.0" minHeight="-1.0" minWidth="-1.0" prefHeight="-1.0" prefWidth="-1.0" AnchorPane.bottomAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.leftAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.rightAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.topAnchor="0.0" />
    </children>
</AnchorPane>

I really have no idea what is causing this, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

A: Turns out the answer was quite straightforward:
The background of the page I was rendering was transparent, so it looks like the scrollbar is never cleared. Changing the background to white fixed it.

A woman quits her job after hearing her pastor's prophecy. She falls into financial ruin within two months. Who's to blame? She is—she probably didn't have enough faith. A man is born with cerebral palsy, and now as a grown adult, he's still limping on crutches. Who's to blame? He is, because God never wants Christians to suffer. At least, that's the teaching of the "prosperity gospel," a prevalent theology that the documentary American Gospel: Christ Alone tears down using Scripture and real-life testimonies.
"Why do you think God chooses to save some and not others?" It's an honest question, but not one a Christian middle-school teacher, even if recently widowed, should throw in the face of a boy who miraculously revived after falling into an icy lake and having no pulse for an hour. This candid confrontation is one of many elements that make the new film Breakthrough—dare I say it?—a breakthrough for the faith-film genre.

Datsun is back. Japanese auto major Nissan on Monday relaunched the brand, which was mothballed three decades ago, to cater to entry-level segments in emerging markets such as India, Indonesia, Russia and South Africa. HT reports.
Datsun is back. Japanese auto major Nissan on Monday relaunched the brand, which was mothballed three decades ago, to cater to entry-level segments in emerging markets such as India, Indonesia, Russia and South Africa.
Datsun kickstarted its second journey with a hatchback, "GO", priced at less than Rs. 4 lakh, to go on sale early next year.
The company will unveil cars for the other three markets during the course of the year. The global launch of Datsun in India underlines the Renault-Nissan alliance's aim to tap India's small car market, in which it has been a relative laggard with a market-share of just 1.2%.
"Our focus in the Indian market is strong. By 2016, we will launch 10 new products that will include those from Datsun, and we intend to increase our market-share to 10% by that time," said Carlos Ghosn, president and CEO, Renault Nissan.
The Datsun GO will compete with the likes of Maruti Alto, India's best-selling car for 7 years now, and the Hyundai Eon. It is a segment that commands a significant proportion of industry sales, but one that many others have failed to crack. Most auto-makers such as Honda, Toyota and Volkswagen have refused to enter the segment for fear of diluting their brand.
According to Nissan, bringing in a new brand eliminates that problem.
"We have said the car will be priced below Rs. 4 lakh, but we are not playing any tricks by bringing in the car at Rs. 3.99 lakh and pricing it at Rs. 5 lakh for the top variant," said Vincent Cobee, corporate vice-president, Datsun Business Unit.
At least one more Datsun car will be launched, and Cobee did not rule out pricing it even below the GO. That would put it in the vicinity of the Tata Nano, the world's cheapest car that costs Rs. 1.5-2 lakh.
The GO has been entirely engineered in India and will be powered by a 1.2 litre-petrol engine, details of which were not shared.
The car will be manufactured at the Renault Nissan plant in Chennai.

The Election, COVID, Racism, and the Constructive Conflict Initiative
Read about (and contribute to) the Constructive Conflict Initiative and its associated Blog—our effort to assemble what we collectively know about how to move beyond our hyperpolarized politics and start solving society's problems.
S.Y. Bowland
Director of The Practitioners Research and Scholarship Institute (PRASI) and mediator, based in Atlanta, Georgia
Interviewed by Julian Portilla, 2003
This rough transcript provides a text alternative to audio. We apologize for occasional errors and unintelligible sections (which are marked with ???).
A: I do like to use caucuses. In the caucus, I give assignments to both parties at the same time. So I might announce that we're about to go into a caucus, and summarize how I have observed or how I have seen race or culture play a part in the mediation up to that particular point. And then I'll ask them, "When you're not in the room with me during the caucus, would you just brainstorm about what I've said that's true, and what's not true, and whether there are any questions that you have for the other party on this particular topic?"
Q: Alone, separately.
A: Right, and also, "What do you need to move forward?" Again, even in the caucus, it's so amazing that people will want to reaffirm to me — I guess as part of the system structure — that they're not racist, and that they just can't imagine how someone could have gotten that impression.
I'll give you an example of that sort of situation.It was a mediation that involved a person of color and a white person. The person of color was actually the person in the leadership position here. So the white person had a complaint that she had requested something, and felt that the person of color was not providing what she had asked for. When we were doing the mediation, the white woman said, "Well I asked for it once." The person of color said, "Well I wish you had asked me again. All you had to do was ask me again. I don't know why you had to go this far; just come back and ask again." Again, the white woman said, "Well, I asked you once."
If you could have seen the face of the woman of color. She said, "Do you know how many times I've had to ask for what I've wanted, in order to move up around here?" So this woman of color (who, at this point in time, had a leadership role) had had to repeatedly ask for things in her struggle for advancement, and she was just blown back to learn that part of the reason that the other person was there was because she felt that she had asked once and that asking once was enough.
Q: And her understanding of the way the world worked is that you had to ask several times to get something, and so she expected the white woman to ask several times if she wanted to get what she wanted?
A: Or to continue to persevere, to continue to come back. And she meant that there would be movement, but it might not happen right at that moment. The other woman had to have confidence that there would be some movement in time, and that the two of them would work as a team for this. So I thought that that was really a very amazing story, because it allowed me to observe the difference in how one person from one group was representing something this way and another person from another group was totally representing it another way.
I think they both had their awakening at that point — knowing that when one person makes a request for something and she makes the request one time, she expects a response after that one time, but the person of color had had to go through a series of challenges or repeated inquiries to advance. As I reflect on this, I wonder whether there was a reflection on the differences. I know that they both had an awakening, an ah-ha. There was that kind of new discovery about operation.
What's interesting is that I think that very deeply hidden in that was the cultural perspective of how this one person's life had the challenge of having to persevere and keep coming back, the door being closed; whereas the other person was saying, "I've asked once. There should be movement."
Q: So, caucusing. What else?
A: The brainstorming of the list of what people want to see. This is the tricky part: When a person of color raises the culture/race question and that's the first time that it comes to the attention of the white disputant, you really have to allow appropriate time for that to really have its presence, because it takes time. Really when the white party hears it, they do feel sometimes like they're being attacked, like they did something, and they're like, "Well, I'm just carrying out my job; I thought I was doing what I was supposed to do. I had no idea that I was having this impact." But how was the person of color supposed to bring this to the other party's attention prior to this event?
Depending on different workplaces or different communities, there may be prior ways of bringing it up, but often there are not. That's why, I think, the caucusing is a time to give the parties a place to take their deep breath or to let their anger out. I really don't personally prefer the anger to be brought out all at once during the mediation, although I have had it come out that way, don't get me wrong. I just have a preference about that because there's a lot of teaching that has to go on. So in the caucus, that is where I do the test. I say, "There's a lot of emotion around this, and I don't mind if the two of you have it, but I want to do a reality test. If you raise these questions, it can bring out some emotion. Are you ready for that? And will you understand that it's about having the presence and the first time to share this, and it may or may not be about you personally? I just want to prepare you for us coming back together, and I need to know whether you can do this."
Then I learn what they want. And then, of course, you check: "Well, can I ask the other party this or that? Do you want to ask the other party this?" Then, when the other party comes back, if it's a party of color, I say, "They really want to ask some other questions, but they're concerned about the level of tone, etc." I try to raise what the concerns are to see whether the people can agree to go forward and have that particular dialogue. Then I give them the information and they decide what they want to do — whether they want to go forward with it or not.

Iroquois homeobox factors are a family of homeodomain transcription factors that play a role in many developmental processes. The loci were named for the flies carrying mutations in one of these genes, which are devoid of all bristles in the lateral part of the notum, leaving only a median stripe of bristles, similar to the Iroquois tribes which shaved all but a medial stripe of hairs on the head.

Human genes that encode Iroquois homeobox factors include:

 IrxA sub-group: IRX1, IRX2, IRX4
 IrxB sub-group: IRX3, IRX5, IRX6

The Dallas Police Dept. has suspended its investigation into an incident at a Dallas bar on Sunday night involving Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott.
"The assault offense that occurred on July 16th at the Clutch Bar located at 2520 Cedar Springs Road has been suspended due to the lack of a complaint," Dallas Police spokeswoman Melinda Gutierrez wrote in a statement obtained by NFL Network's Tom Pelissero on Wednesday. "Dallas detectives made several attempts to contact the victim through various ways but at this time have not been able to make contact. To date no witnesses have come forward to provide any additional information about this incident."
Elliott was not arrested and police did not name Elliott or anyone else as suspects in the alleged assault. Elliott's exact involvement in the incident remains unconfirmed by authorities. Although the investigation has been suspended, Dallas police could still reopen their probe. In addition, an NFL spokesman told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo that the league is still looking into the matter.
Rebecca Lopez of WFAA-TV in Dallas first reported the development.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told reporters Tuesday that he spoke to Elliott about the incident, but declined to offer specifics on their conversation.
Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said Wednesday he plans to talk to Elliott about what happened on Friday.
"I don't want to make any comment on the situation. We're still gathering information on what that situation was," Garrett said, per NFL Network's Jane Slater.
The incident comes amid the NFL's ongoing investigation into domestic violence accusations made against him by Elliott's now former girlfriend last year. Elliott, 21, has denied the accusations and prosecutors chose not to pursue charges against Elliott. He remains subject to possible NFL discipline under the league's personal conduct policy.
In addition, Elliott was convicted of a misdemeanor Texas traffic violation last week after he was pulled over for allegedly driving 100 mph in a 70 mph zone. Elliott is appealing the conviction.
Elliott is entering his second NFL season with the Cowboys after rushing for 1,631 yards and 15 touchdowns en route to earning first-team All-Pro honors as a rookie.


The victim in this novel is a young woman who is found dead beneath the cliffs in the deserted village of Kalfshamarvik. Some believe the death to be suicide, particularly considering that the victim's mother and sister also lost their lives at the same spot, some twenty-five years earlier. It appears it could be a case of a tragic history repeating itself. However, when further tragedy befalls the village, it soon becomes a race against time to get to the bottom of the mystery, and to prevent a rising death toll as a killer is on the loose. To do this, Ari Thor, along with fellow detective Tomas, must delve deeper into the dark history of the village, exposing long buried secrets in the process. The sinister circumstances behind the death, and the sense of unease surrounding the village made for a gripping read.
As with previous books in the Dark Iceland series, Whiteout is a perfectly paced and atmospheric story. The winter setting and approaching festive season add to the haunting feel of the writing, as the true extent of the tragedy gradually emerges. Jonasson's writing creates a vivid picture of the harsh Icelandic winter, and the abandoned village setting with its lighthouse and its precarious cliffside all add to the sense of foreboding that is typical of this series. As the story progressed, I became more and more keen to find out who could have been responsible for such a crime, and the story becomes increasingly complex and layered.
As with previous books in this series, I really enjoyed Whiteout and found it to be a tense and gripping crime novel. Within its pages is a well plotted story filled with interesting characters, set within a haunting atmosphere. It is another impressive addition to a fantastic series.
Whiteout was published in paperback on 1st November 2017 by Orenda Books. Many thanks to Anne Cater and Karen Sullivan at Orenda Books for providing a copy for review and for the opportunity to take part in this blog tour.

As SIMPLIS carries out an analysis, it creates additional data files in the same directory as the input file. These files are created by SIMPLIS primarily for its own use. It is recommended that everyone browse through this chapter to get an idea what these data files accomplish and as a result, be able to take advantage of these data files during various analyses. The section Taking Advantage of Existing Files is particularly helpful for running time-domain simulations.
In the illustration that follows, the name of the input file is assumed to be "XXXX". Each data file generated by SIMPLIS is named "XXXX.extension" where "extension" is a string of characters particular to the data file.
The version of SIMPLIS supplied with SIMetrix sends its simulation data to SIMetrix which is then responsible for saving it. This data is usually stored in .sxdat files located in the TEMPDATA directory.


Location: The Central Area District ("CD" for short) has varying borders depending on whom you ask, but it's contained roughly by 12th Avenue to the west; East Denny Way, then East Roy Street to the north; 31st Avenue East to the east; and I-90 to the south.
Why people move to this neighborhood: It's a historically diverse residential neighborhood just outside the hustle and bustle of downtown to the west and dining and entertainment options on Capitol Hill to the north. It contains a number of small local shops and businesses, including ethnic restaurants serving Ethiopian, Thai and other cuisines. Residents say two of the main draws are convenience and walkability. The CD has undergone gentrification over the last few decades, growing busier as more people and businesses continue to move in.
Protecting your Internet accounts keeps getting easier. Here's how to do it.
Renter boom: Apartments filling up faster in Seattle area than anywhere in the U.S.
Housing: Predominantly older Craftsman and midcentury single-family homes, as well as some modern apartment and condominium buildings that have sprung up on busy street corners in recent years.
Historical facts: Restrictive racial covenants on Seattle's early homes meant that many of the city's ethnic minorities had no choice but to live in the Central District or the Chinatown International District, whose residents in decades past were almost entirely minorities, including African Americans, Asian Americans and Jews. In 1970, the Central District's population was 73 percent black. That number has decreased significantly since the late 1980s, and now it's estimated that about 20 percent of the current population is black, with other ethnicities, including Asians and Latinos, comprising about 25 percent. Whites have seen the largest increase and now account for nearly 60 percent of the CD's population.
Recreation: Many first-time visitors to the city make the Central District one of their first stops; perhaps coincidentally, it contains one of the busiest recreational marijuana shops in the city. Locals enjoy the amenities at Judkins Park and Playfield in the south end, with its skatepark, basketball courts, water feature and trails, including access to the Mountains to Sound Gateway trail along I-90. Powell Barnett Park provides a grassy open meadow perfect for picnics and playing fetch with your dog, as well as a playground (and restrooms in a castle-shaped building). There is a handful of small neighborhood parks throughout. Businesses, dining and entertainment options can be found along the main thoroughfares of 23rd Avenue, East Union, East Cherry and Madison streets.
