Update: 6LACK's "East Atlanta Love Letter" debuts at #3 on this week's Billboard 200.
It trails only Carrie Underwood's "Cry Pretty" and Eminem's "Kamikaze" on this week's chart, which ranks albums based on total consumption (pure album sales + units from track streams + units from track sales).
Billboard credits "East Atlanta Love Letter" with 77K first-week units, which is similar to the 76K reported by Hits Daily Double and BuzzAngle earlier this week.
Interestingly, they report a substantially different pure sales total. Hits said the album sold 27K pure copies, while Billboard lists the number at 20K. Billboard, accordingly, credits "East Atlanta Love Letter" with a markedly greater number of streaming units.
6LACK's new album "East Atlanta Love Letter" predictably fared well in this week's US album sales and consumption races.
According to Hits Daily Double and Buzz Angle, the album sold about 27K pure US copies during the September 14-20 tracking period. With units from track sales and track streams included, "East Atlanta Love Letter" generated about 76K in total first-week consumption.
Due Sunday, Billboard's more authoritative data may differ slightly from that reported by Hits. The Hits data does, however, provide a good indication of where "East Atlanta Love Letter" should land on the charts.
The pure sales figure should be enough for a Top 5 position on the Top Album Sales (pure sales) chart. The consumption figure should be enough for a Top 5 (and likely Top 3) position on the Billboard 200; only Carrie Underwood's "Cry Pretty" and Eminem's "Kamikaze" appear to have clearly generated more consumption units.
"East Atlanta Love Letter" is the follow-up to "Free 6lack," which went as high as #34 on the Billboard 200.

As part of the 50th Volunteering Challenge, the Analytical Labs team from Intel Ireland took on the immense task of converting a 55ft bare concrete wall into a colourful and mesmerising mural for the young kids at Scoil Uí Riada in Kilcock. Along with the painting, the Labs Team took on the challenge of piecing together a unique design that runs central to the schools ethos.
Anthony Hooper, a Failure Analysis Technician and an accomplished artist, worked with the school to compile a design that fitted the school's request and the dimensions of the wall.
To transfer the design to the wall, Anthony came up with an innovative solution. The team used a projector to project the design onto the wall in order to trace the lines and complete the painted design. The summertime project meant that employees had to complete the session late at night, ensuring the projector light was visible.
Over multiple visits to the school over a 5 week period, a team of 22 employees poured 175 hours of hard work into the mural. Getting so many vibrant colours included in the mural was a challenge –Anthony worked hard to mix the correct colour and tone with primary colours on site at the school. Applying the colours to the design was the most enjoyable part for the volunteers, as they found seeing the pictures come alive bit by bit to form a beautiful and fun looking mural very rewarding.

We ran a test a month ago for a live event using AWS. It seems there is a cap of 1Gb/s using cloudfront. We maxed out on 2200 concurrent viewers from ONE stream only - any additional attempts to stream on this limit was met with an endless loop of initializing stream until the large stream were stopped. Performance was ok since that part is managed by AWS, but this is way lower than we have on a cluster of WOWZA corp accounts with several servers.
Additionally, I tested a live stream using your app (not mine) using Viewora to demonstrate what happened if the 3g drop to low bandwidth. The actual stream was fine, but VOD wasn't written (See the comic con video on your website)

Migrant Education
Westminster Public Schools (WPS) offers program services to migrant students and families through the Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education (CLDE) team. Student identification occurs at registration and protocols are followed through the Metro Migrant Education Program (MMEP) guidelines. Educational supports are offered both through the Colorado State Migrant office and WPS Title III services. Additional information regarding migrant services can be requested by contacting Susana Zubia Lopez, or Metro Migrant Education Program at 303-365-5817.
Who is eligible?
Migrant students are children, from birth through age 21, of parents or guardians who have moved across state or school district lines, anytime during the past three years to seek or with the intent to obtain temporary or seasonalemployment in agriculture, fishing or related industries. Children can qualify even if their parents did not find the job they were looking for or if they have changed jobs since.
For how long do they qualify?
Students qualify for three years from the last qualifying move. Every time the family moves across school district boundaries in order to look for a job in agriculture, the children re-qualify.
What services and benefits are provided?
Services may vary from one school, or school district, to another depending upon the number of students identified and their needs. Direct services include but are not limited to:
- Referrals to food banks, clothing banks, low cost medical services and clinics, GED classes, citizenship classes, adult education, legal services and other community agencies.

New Orleans and eating go together like feathers and Mardi Gras. It's impossible to experience one without the other. In a town with more than 1,300 restaurants, most independent and locally owned, the moveable feast never ends.
Locals are passionate about iconic dishes that reflect this port city's historic gumbo of cultures, from African, French and Spanish to Italian, Irish and Southeast Asian. Typical Creole fare is on the rich side -- simmered seafood bisques, local trout swabbed in buttery Meunière sauce and garlicky étouffée larded with crawfish and sausage.

Pediatric Endocrinologist Education and Career Facts
Pediatric endocrinologists identify and treat conditions in children's glands. Learn about this field, education requirements, additional training and necessary credentials.
What You Need to Know
Pediatricians are physicians who treat health problems in babies, children and young adults. An endocrinologist is a physician specially trained to diagnose and treat conditions that affect glands and hormones. As a pediatric endocrinologist, you can specialize in treating conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disease and metabolic disorders for infants, children and adolescents. In order to practice in this field, you'll need to complete a Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Osteopathy degree program.
|You will need to earn a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) or Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.)
|Internship, residency and/or fellowship program
|Mean Annual Salary (2017)
|$187,540 (for all pediatricians)*
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
How Much Education Do I Need?
Pediatric endocrinologists need an extremely high level of education. The first step is to complete an undergraduate degree program that can provide you with the eligibility requirements necessary to enroll in medical school. While there is no one standard undergraduate degree program for aspiring physicians, you could complete a pre-med program or select a major that offers education in biological sciences, physics, chemistry and mathematics.
In medical school, you'll receive extensive training in human anatomy, physiology, medical practices and ethics. You can take some elective or extracurricular courses in pediatrics or endocrinology, though medical school education is primarily designed to provide you with basic knowledge and skills training.
How Much Training Would I Need After Medical School?
You'll need to complete at least a 1-year internship before pursuing specialized residencies in pediatrics and endocrinology, which could take an additional 2-6 years. Some hospitals offer a combined residency program, though you might need to participate in both pediatric and endocrinology residencies separately. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) endorses residency training programs, including pediatric and endocrinology programs. Fellowship programs at hospitals and universities more commonly combine the two disciplines.
What Kind of Credential Would I Need?
To earn a license, you'll need to take the United States Medical Licensing Exam or the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Exam, depending on the type of medical degree you earned. This is necessary to become a practicing physician. You might need to take additional state-administered exams as well. Additionally, you could pursue board certification in pediatric endocrinology. Though board certification isn't required, the American Board of Medical Specialties, which is affiliated with the ACGME, offers a credential specific to this field.
What Can I Expect From a Career as a Pediatric Endocrinologist?
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for physicians and surgeons is set to grow 13% in the decade between 2016 and 2026, which is faster than the average for all other occupations. General pediatricians work in a variety of settings, including:
- Physicians' offices
- General and surgical hospitals
- Outpatient care centers
- Colleges, universities and professional schools

In a previous post I mentioned stumbling across this intriguing ensemble based in Salt Lake City. I don't know what rock I was hiding under in 2002 – I was living in Salt Lake City and did pay some attention to the music scene. Oh well. Their website has a lot of information about them as well as links to hear, see and buy some of their recordings. So far their career has seen great fluctuations in personnel as well as collaboration with the likes of poet/sonosopher Alex Caldiero (I just saw one of his poems in an installation at USU) and My Education. Ryan Stanfield was gracious enough to answer some questions and give an introductory physics lesson.
The following interview questions have been answered by Ryan Stanfield of Theta Naught. The answers and opinions expressed are his alone, but are probably shared by most, if not all, of the other members of Theta Naught.
What can you tell us about the initial concepts behind θ₀, as well as the processes that led to forming it?
The name Theta Naught (θ₀) comes from the physics/mechanics use, where the Greek character 'theta' (θ) is used as a variable to define angles, and the subscript zero (0), or naught, is used to denote 'initial.' Thus, in this context "theta naught" can mean "initial trajectory" or something along those lines.
The concept behind Theta Naught was somewhat different. It started as most bands do, just two or three of us kicking out some tunes in the basement. The other co-founder of the group had a difficult time remembering song structures / chord progressions [etc] so we decided to turn it into a more open, free-form group. We found that this sort of instantaneous, improvisational composition lead to pieces that we really "felt." It's interesting because the name "Theta Naught" fits well in this context. We were much more satisfied by those pieces that we would compose instantaneously. In general, it was/is the initial trajectory of the piece that we really "feel."
And by "feel" I mean things, or specifically music, that we feel good about, and makes us feel good. It's a difficult thing to describe sometimes. It does have a close tie with the metaphysical or spiritual. It's the art of creation, and the creation of art, and being able to do so on a collaborative basis makes it so much more fulfilling [to us].
As a specific sub-question: where and how did the first musicians meet? (I was living in SLC in 2002 and had I known what was going on . . .)
Mutual friends. Most of us were students at the University of Utah.
Your online bio states: "Mathematics has been and will continue to be a central tenet in Theta Naught composition ideology" – do you care to share more about how this influenced the formation and how it affects the way you compose and improvise?
The group was initially composed of engineers and scientists. Some of those people have left the group or that field of study, and other people have entered. Being "math nerds" or "geeks" gives us something to talk about both inside and outside of music. We've brought several mathematic concepts into our compositions…a lot of it being number theory. We'll base time signatures or chord progressions on irrational constants, like pi (π) or phi (φ). I was, and still am, enamored by the golden ratio, or phi (φ). It's fundamental beauty and presence in art and nature is overwhelming to me. Several tracks on our Abacus album were based on or around phi.
How would you describe the balance of composition and improvisation in how you work together?
This has changed and evolved over the years. Sometimes we start with a chord progression or a jazz standard or something concrete, and then we break it down and improvise off of it, layer it over and over, find kinks and work them out, and then make more kinks, sweep it under the rug and then throw the rug out the window. Most of the time we'll just call out a key, scale, or mode and go with it. Someone will start, usually bass or drums, but other times cello, guitar, or harp, and everyone else will fall in/get in when they begin to "feel" it. It's an enjoyable process, for the most part. You've got to keep an open mind and an open ear. You have to actively listen to everyone. Sometimes everyone is just three of us, and other times there are thirteen of us on stage. Achieving balance is a lofty goal when the members [and number of them] are rotating or changing on a frequent basis.
What observations do you want to give about how θ₀ has evolved over the last nine years?
See above. In general, we've moved from a structured-improv group to a more free-form improvisation.
How have musicians come into and gone out of active involvement in it?
People come and go. We all have priorities and responsibilities outside of music. We love music, but we also have families, careers, and other interests that depend on our care and involvement, and we love those things too. Most of the time people leave the group due to outside circumstances (pursuing education or a career that takes them out of state, etc), only on rare occasion has someone left, or been asked to leave, due to internal disagreements or conflicts. We're a pretty mellow and understanding group…compared to other bands I've been in. Other members have been brought in from time-to-time on a temporary or long-term basis, usually to fill-in where a void has been left.
Has anything like a general pattern established itself or been visible?
Yes, see: chaos theory.
What are the prospects for this current lineup and for the group? I see that you just recently played at the SLC Public Library.
We've actually done a fair amount of touring this year [2011] already. We hit Austin, TX twice this Spring – South by Southwest Music Fest in March, and Austin Psych Fest in April/May – and several other venues and festivals along the way (Neon Reverb Music Festival, IndieFest, etc). We're kind of re-grouping at the moment. We lost our "new" cellist – he moved back home to Florida just last month [June], so we're auditioning/interviewing new ones. The library show was a fun one, and one that we really enjoy doing. We usually play in/around the SLC area on a monthly basis when we're not touring.
We released a new album [Omnium-Gatherum] last year, and another one just a few months after it. The newest one is called Sound Mass. It's a collaborative, improvisational project between Theta Naught and My Education [from Austin, TX]. We'll keep pushing these new releases for the time being, and probably record again sometime soon.
Where do you see θ₀ in five years?
Still creating music, with some luck.
Who and where are your listeners?
Good question. Lots of friends and family. But also a lot of other people we don't know, but wish we knew. We have a lot of album sales in Europe and Japan. I've heard there are a lot of un-legal downloads in China, too. Y'know, I don't want to sound conceited, but we make the music for ourselves. We enjoy playing it, and we enjoy listening while we play. That's not to say that we go home and listen to our own albums all day…that would be extremely far from the truth. Suffice it to say that we enjoy what we do. Whenever we hear from someone (via e-mail or a listener at a live performance) that says they enjoy our music, it makes it much more fulfilling. Even if we only get one person at a performance that comes up to us afterwards and says they enjoyed it, it's a great feeling.
How has θ₀ interacted with the larger music scenes in Utah and elsewhere? Who else nearby, if anyone, is making music in similar ways?
Another good question. I don't know that we're part of any music scene. We do try to perform in Salt Lake City on a regular [monthly] basis. We like the idea of bringing something new or different to the local music scene. This is probably difficult to do after nine years together, I dunno. We don't really have a local venue that we play on a regular basis. I like to perform at non-traditional venues (art galleries, warehouses, etc). We play outside of SLC more than inside though. We do our best to make every live performance a different, unique experience for us and the listeners. We like playing on a bill or line-up with different bands. Being instrumental and improvisational lends us the latitude necessary to cross over through different genres of music. I love playing very mellow, relaxed music when we play with metal or punk bands, and playing loud, heavy, fast music when we perform alongside singer-songwriter, acoustic, or tranquil groups.
We're also quite keen on collaboration. We've been doing a lot with My Education as Sound Mass lately. But, in the past we've done a lot of collaboration with other groups, too. Our third album (Sound Weave) is a collaboration between Theta Naught and Alex Caldiero [poet, sonosopher, artist and faculty member at UVU]. Last year we did a few collaborative performances with Anne-Marie Hildebrandt and Citrine. We've also performed with dance troupes and film projectionists.
I don't know who makes music in similar ways. There are a lot, I'm sure. I tend to identify with jazz or electronic musicians more so than others. While the end product can sound quite different, there are similarities to our respective (improvisational) approaches. There are a few local instrumental acts, too, but I don't know if the way we make music is similar or not. I really like instrumental locals Birthquake, I Hear Sirens (I played bass for IHS for most of 2009), and the Daniel Day Trio, to name a few.
The Linescratchers Golden Question, as it were: for those in the group who are LDS, how does your faith influence or interact with how you make your music? Specifically for Naughtians: how does your faith relate to your work in mathematics and science?
It's difficult to say. We don't have lyrics so it's not like we have an agenda or message. With that said, I think that instrumental music, in general, can have an inherent ability to be connected with the metaphysical or spiritual. For an LDS example, I've heard of and known mission presidents allow their missionaries to listen to instrumental music…any instrumental music. I know this because we've received several e-mails and orders from LDS missionaries who want our music to listen to during their once-a-week preparation day activities, etc.
Personally, I'm both spiritual and religious. I've heard several people say that they are one but not the other. I'm both, and I know that most of my LDS friends are also both. For me, making music can be a spiritual experience…especially improvisational music. Not spiritual in the sense that my testimony in a specific gospel principle is being strengthened (although that may be an intrinsic feature), but spiritual in the sense that I am/we are creating something from the mental or metaphysical into the physical or temporal. Through that process I learn more about myself, and when I learn more about myself I learn more about God.
I think there are enough books written about the links between science and spirituality that I shouldn't have to say much. I agree with the authors that I've read to a certain extent. As someone that pursues both scientific knowledge and spiritual enlightenment, I feel and know that the two schools of thought are not in opposition, but quite the opposite. I believe that I understand science and religion/spirituality better because I have both. I believe that principle of understanding and comprehension applies to all aspects of life, whether I'm studying another religion, another language, a scientific theory, or understanding what another person is doing, saying, or feeling.

"Everyone in the theater laughed at this point. Not exactly the reaction you want for your big dramatic moment."—The Distressed Watcher, on Darth Vader's Big No from Star Wars : Revenge of the Sith
Narm is a moment that is supposed to be serious, but due to either over-sappiness, poor execution, excessive Melodrama, or the sheer absurdity of the situation, the drama is lost to the point of surpassing "cheesy" and becoming unintentionally funny. However, the humor can be extremely subjective, and mention of it may be responded to with a Dude, Not Funny.
It is named for the famous scene in the last season of Six Feet Under, where the main character Nate suffers a brain embolism. He suddenly grabs his right arm and repeats "Numb arm." (at this moment the scene is still genuinely creepy), but then it quickly degenerates into "N'arm! N'arm!" before he comically rolls up his eyes and drops to the floor. Even though this was the climax of a highly-acclaimed show, fans and critics overwhelmingly found the scene to be funny. Were you to discuss this phenomenon in a scholarly work or literary circles, the word you would probably use is "Bathos". Though all the implications of the technical term do not match up exactly (Bathos can be intentionally invoked for humor, for one). If you're talking to non-tropers and don't want to have to make fun of the unintentional comedy of brain embolisms, that's probably the word you want to use.
Not to be confused with the Funny Aneurysm Moment, in which something wasn't meant to be upsetting but is, thanks to later events or unfortunate Reality Subtext.
Narm often stems from a failed attempt to pull off a Crowning Moment of Awesome, a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming or a Tear Jerker. Alternatively, a good performance in a bad movie will evoke Narm because the actor Took the Bad Film Seriously. Anything that falls under Wangst and Deus Angst Machina runs the risk of falling under Narm, as what is intended to be angsty and dramatic can instead come across as over-the-top ridiculous and absurd. In subtitled Anime, Narms are often created through the use of badly used English, with Totally Radical dialog in general being another rich source of Narm. In dubbed anime, Narms are more likely to result from the combination of a budding William Shatner reading an overly-literal translation.
Special Effect Failure can also turn dramatic moment hilarious.
Large Hams are vulnerable to this trope. See also Nightmare Retardant and many cases of Snark Bait, as well as Fetish Retardant for erotica (of which the Swedish home furnishings variety is a particularly good source of Narm). Not to be confused with 'Nam, or the Narn, or OMMM-NOM-NOM-NOM. Also not to be confused with the National Area for Retired Mills, North American Registry for Midwives or the National Association of Recording Merchandisers..
In video games, certain unintentional visual or audio glitches can cause unintentionally hilarious moments when they appear during dramatic moments.
Keep in mind that Narm is subjective, as one person's cheese is another person's charm. However, Narm is not when something simply falls flat or "doesn't work"; this is not a page for simply complaining about scenes you didn't like.
A number of examples of Narm become memes.
Contrast with Narm Charm, where somehow, the drama still works.
One more important thing: since it is impossible to list Real Life examples of Narm in good taste, please don't put any here.

Five on Friday...
Happy 15 months to my little man!!!!!!!! In honor of this, this week's edition of 5 on Friday is all about my little dude....
1) This kid is smart. Like super smart. And no, I'm not just saying that because I'm his mama. He amazes me every day with how smart he is and how quickly he learns things. He's a total sponge that soaks everything up and I just love watching him grow.
2) I've never met a kid who loves to help as much as Camden does. You say the word laundry and he goes crazy. Mention needing help and he's all over it. Time to pick up toys - not a problem for this kid. It's the freakin' cutest thing ever and I just can't get enough of it.
3) He's still a total mama's boy. He gives the biggest, sweetest kisses ever. He loves to play with my hair (and his!) He loves to play peek-a-boo. And loves for us to hide and jump out and scare him!! His little laugh and squeals are the best sounds ever.
4) He loves, loves, loves his stuffed animals. Right now he's all about Freddie the froggie and Puppy. And it's just not stuffed animals - he just loves animals in general. I can't wait to go to the zoo with him this summer - he's gonna flip <3
5) He's still tiny (I'll update with his stats from 15 month appointment after we go) He wears either 9 month or 12 month clothes, though has a couple pairs of pants that are 6 months. He has a ton of teeth. Sleeps great (so when he has a rough night it really throws us all for a loop!) He takes 2 naps still. He's gotten better at taking a morning nap at daycare too. He loves peanut butter, toast, watermelon, clementines, and peas. He LOVES using a spoon and fork and actually does EXTREMELY well with both. I'm still nursing but only in the morning and at night.
*update (2.15.16) - he weighs 20lbs 2oz (3%), is 2'7" (47%) tall
So basically he's perfect and so incredibly loved!!!

LOHA, SOM, and Kevin Daly Architects collaborate on new student housing at UCSB
By Antonio Pacheco
The Architect's Newspaper
1 May 2018

College of Environmental Design alumnus Kevin Daly (B.Arch '80), founder of Kevin Daly Architects (KDA), recently completed a housing project on the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) campus. The project, known as the San Joaquin Villages, is composed of 107 three-bedroom, two-bath apartments, a string of campus amenities, and open courtyards.
The San Joaquin housing project is located in the university's North Campus and was a collaboration between KDA, Lorcan O'Herlihy Architects (LOHA), and Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill (SOM). San Joaquin Villages opened to students in the fall of 2017.
The North Village site is sectioned into four principal parcels, with LOHA and KDA each taking two sites to create a patchwork of low-rise, interconnected housing blocks. Together, the space brings 107 units to UCSB which can sleep 1,000 students in total.
The accommodations are intentionally utilitarian and are linked to shared student amenity spaces, such as a laundromat and an organic market. Reading rooms, social spaces, and dining facilities are dotted around the complex, "projecting from second-floor perches in some instances, tucked snugly below elevated walkways in others." The units also include windows which are wrapped in both vertical and shaped aluminum sunshades.
"UCSB dormitories have typically pushed circulation to their exterior envelope, with an inert central courtyard accessible only from within the building. [Our] design inverts this circulation scheme, [creating] a reductive exterior edge with an open, lively interior courtyard containing all building circulation, encouraging movement throughout the complex," said LOHA principal Lorcan O'Herlihy.
The master plan of the village was drafted by SOM, which also completed the new Tenaya Towers—a pair of six-story housing blocks—to create 65 new, three-bedroom, two-bath apartments. For the village, SOM "designed a pair of parallel towers that are oriented east-to-west that are studded with projecting balconies to help maintain passive airflow and enrich student life."
The design plan also includes a free-standing pavilion to a plaza located between the two towers which will be used for study and recreation spaces. The towers will also be outfitted with rooftop terraces.
The village also includes a new dining commons which has been designed by architects at KieranTimberlake.
The landscape of the space pays particular attention to the surrounding environment. The site design includes features to redirect stormwater runoff into new biofiltration planters and bioswales that will purify the captures water before draining it into the surrounding wetlands.

Trailblazing Constance's hard-won job as deputy sheriff is on the line in Miss Kopp Just Won't Quit, the fourth installment of Amy Stewart's Kopp Sisters series. After a year on the job, New Jersey's first female deputy sheriff has collared criminals, demanded justice for wronged women, and gained notoriety nationwide for her exploits. But on one stormy night, everything falls apart. While transporting a woman to an insane asylum, Deputy Kopp discovers something deeply troubling about her story. Before she can investigate, another inmate bound for the asylum breaks free and tries to escape. In both cases, Constance runs instinctively toward justice. But the fall of 1916 is a high-stakes election year, and any move she makes could jeopardize Sheriff Heath's future-and her own. Although Constance is not on the ballot, her controversial career makes her the target of political attacks. With wit and verve, book-club favorite Amy Stewart brilliantly conjures the life and times of the real Constance Kopp to give us this "unforgettable, not-to-be messed-with heroine" (Marie Claire) under fire in Miss Kopp Just Won't Quit.Show more
The best-selling author of Girl Waits with Gun and Lady Cop Makes Trouble continues her extraordinary journey into the real lives of the forgotten but fabulous Kopp sisters. Deputy sheriff Constance Kopp is outraged to see young women brought into the Hackensack jail over dubious charges of waywardness, incorrigibility, and moral depravity. The strong-willed, patriotic Edna Heustis, who left home to work in a munitions factory, certainly doesn't belong behind bars. And sixteen-year-old runaway Minnie Davis, with few prospects and fewer friends, shouldn't be publicly shamed and packed off to a state-run reformatory. But such were the laws-and morals-of 1916. Constance uses her authority as deputy sheriff, and occasionally exceeds it, to investigate and defend these women when no one else will. But it's her sister Fleurette who puts Constance's beliefs to the test and forces her to reckon with her own ideas of how a young woman should and shouldn't behave. Against the backdrop of World War I, and drawn once again from the true story of the Kopp sisters, Miss Kopp's Midnight Confessions is a spirited, page-turning story that will delight fans of historical fiction and lighthearted detective fiction alike.Show more
The best-selling author of Girl Waits with Gun returns with another adventure featuring the fascinating, feisty, and unforgettable Kopp sisters. After besting (and arresting) a ruthless silk factory owner and his gang of thugs in Girl Waits with Gun, Constance Kopp became one of the nation's first deputy sheriffs. She's proven that she can't be deterred, evaded, or outrun. But when the wiles of a German-speaking con man threaten her position and her hopes for this new life, and endanger the honorable Sheriff Heath, Constance may not be able to make things right. Lady Cop Makes Trouble sets Constance loose on the streets of New York City and New Jersey--tracking down victims, trailing leads, and making friends with girl reporters and lawyers at a hotel for women. Cheering her on, and goading her, are her sisters Norma and Fleurette--that is, when they aren't training pigeons for the war effort or fanning dreams of a life on the stage. Based on a true story, Girl Waits with Gun introduced Constance Kopp and her charming and steadfast sisters to an army of enthusiastic readers. Those readers will be thrilled by this second installment--also ripped from the headlines--in the romping, wildly readable life of a woman forging her own path, tackling crime and nefarious criminals along the way.Show more
Constance Kopp doesn't quite fit the mould. She towers over most men, has no interest in marriage or domestic affairs, and has been isolated from the world by a family secret. When a ruthless factory owner runs down their buggy, a dispute over damages turns into a war as he unleashes his gang. The sheriff enlists her help, and it turns out that Constance has a knack for outwitting the criminal element, which might just lead her onto a new path in life.Show more
In 1914, collisions between motor cars and horse-drawn carriages are an everyday occurrence on the streets of Paterson, New Jersey. But when an out-of-control driver smashes into a buggy driven by Constance, Norma, and Fleurette Kopp, their lives change forever. Constance, the oldest, demands payment for the damages, but quickly realizes that she is dealing with a madman - Henry Kaufman, a silk manufacturer with a drinking problem and a dangerous group of associates. Soon the Kopp home is under siege. The sisters face threats of arson, kidnapping and white slavery. Bricks come flying through their windows, and shots are fired at their house late at night. Even the sheriff can't solve the case on his own. He issues revolvers to the Kopp sisters, posts guards at their house, and enlists Constance's help in catching Kaufman. In the process, Constance finds herself pulled into an underworld of abused factory workers, missing children, and dirty dealings. Her attempts to help another woman in trouble forces her to confront her own past and imagine a different future for herself and her sisters. Before the collision, she was just a bored thirty-five year-old woman living at home with her sisters in the New Jersey countryside, stuck in a life she didn't want but couldn't escape. But the minute Constance is issued a gun, she finds her calling. Set against the backdrop of the famous Paterson Silk Strike and based on actual events, Girl Waits With Gun is the first in a series of novels based on the real life adventures of Constance, Norma, and Fleurette Kopp. Drawing on extensive research into newspaper reports, courthouse files, genealogical archives, letters, and photographs, this intriguing story remains true to the historical record. The Kopp sister's long-forgotten exploits, as told in the series, actually did make headlines nationwide in their day. The case against Henry Kaufman opened the door to a life of crime-fighting and mystery-solving for the Kopp sisters. In the fifteen years following the incident, Constance would serve as one of the nation's first female deputy sheriffs, perform intelligence work during World War I, and run a detective agency with her sisters through the 1920s- all of which will be the subject of future books in the series. Amy Stewart is a four-time New York Times' best-selling author (THE DRUNKEN BOTANIST, WICKED PLANTS, WICKED BUGS, and FLOWER CONFIDENTIAL). She came upon this story when researching THE DRUNKEN BOTANIST and it took hold of her and didn't let go.Show more
Beware! The sordid lives of plants behaving badly. A tree that sheds poison daggers; a glistening red seed that stops the heart; a shrub that causes paralysis; a vine that strangles; and a leaf that triggered a war. Amy Stewart, bestselling author of Flower Confidential, takes on over two hundred of Mother Nature's most appalling creations in an A to Z of plants that kill, maim, intoxicate, and otherwise offend. Stewart renders a vivid portrait of evildoers that may be lurking in your own backyard. Drawing on history, medicine, science, and legend, this compendium of bloodcurdling botany will entertain, enlighten, and alarm even the most intrepid gardeners and nature lovers.Show more
In this darkly comical look at the sinister side of our relationship with the natural world, Stewart has tracked down over one hundred of our worst entomological foes—creatures that infest, infect, and generally wreak havoc on human affairs. From the world's most painful hornet, to the flies that transmit deadly diseases, to millipedes that stop traffic, to the Japanese beetles munching on your roses, Wicked Bugs delves into the extraordinary powers of many-legged creatures. With wit, style, and exacting research, Stewart has uncovered the most terrifying and titillating stories of bugs gone wild. It's an A to Z of insect enemies, interspersed with sections that explore bugs with kinky sex lives, creatures lurking in the cupboard, militant ants, and phobias that feed our (sometimes) irrational responses to bugs. Wicked Bugs is a fascinating mixture of history, science, murder, and intrigue that begins—but doesn't end—in your own backyard.Show more
Every great drink starts with a plant. Sake began with a grain of rice. Scotch emerged from barley. Gin was born from a conifer shrub when medieval physicians boiled juniper berries with wine to treat stomach pain. The Drunken Botanist uncovers the surprising botanical history and fascinating science and chemistry of over 150 plants, flowers, trees, and fruits (and even a few fungi). Some of the most extraordinary and obscure plants have been fermented and distilled, and they each represent a unique cultural contribution to global drinking traditions and our history. Molasses was an essential ingredient of American independence when outrage over a mandate to buy British rather than French molasses for New World rum-making helped kindle the American Revolution. Captain James Cook harvested the young, green tips of spruce trees to make a vitamin C-rich beer that cured his crew of scurvy-a recipe that Jane Austen enjoyed so much that she used it as a plot point in Emma. With over fifty drink recipes, growing tips for gardeners, and advice that carries Stewart's trademark wit, this is the perfect listen for gardeners and cocktail aficionados alike.Show more
They destroy plant diseases. They break down toxins. They plough the earth. They transform forests. They've survived two mass extinctions, including the one that wiped out the dinosaur. Not bad for a creature that's deaf, blind, and spineless. Who knew that earthworms were one of our planet's most important caretakers? Or that Charles Darwin devoted his last years to studying their remarkable achievements? Inspired by Darwin, Amy Stewart takes us on a subterranean adventure. Witty, offbeat, charming, and ever curious, she unearths the complex web of life beneath our feet and investigates the role earthworms play in cutting-edge science, from toxic cleanups to the study of regeneration.Show more

Quick decommissioning in Germany
Two of the German reactors ordered to shut after Fukushima will be dismantled as soon as possible. EnBW has applied for permission to do the work and said it has more than enough funds set aside.
Neckarwestheim 1 and Philippsburg 1 were both among the older reactor units that Chancellor Angela Merkel forced to close early in the week of the Fukushima accident in March 2011. Built in 1976 and 1981 respectively, their operation had been set to continue until 2017 and 2026. Merkel's move, however, brought their power generation careers to an abrupt end.
Normal practice in nuclear decommissioning allows time for radioactive decay before the main components and buildings are tackled. Sometimes a reactor building is sealed up and put in a 'safe storage' mode to allow radioactive decay to the point that the work can take place under normal industrial regulation rather than nuclear regulation. This kind of postponement makes the work easier and cheaper to carry out while also allowing more time for decommissioning funds to grow.
Instead of following this strategy, EnBW has opted to complete the work as soon as possible. "We are taking note of our responsibility and not putting off the issue of decommissioning work any longer," said Jorg Michels of EnKK, the company that operates the plants for EnBW. "With direct decommissioning we are achieving clarity for the public, employees and our business partners."

When the crew of the HMS Ocean found out that their seven-month tour of duty – including a stint in Libya during the revolt against Colonel Gaddafi – would be ending in time for Christmas, they chose to celebrate this in an unorthodox fashion, by making a video of themselves larking about to Mariah Carey's festive cracker "All I Want For Christmas Is You," to make their families smile, and (let's be honest) because there's not a lot else to do out at sea when you're not busy.
They then put it on the internet and got back to their duties.
Some 700,000 views later, the crew find themselves on the receiving end of a message from Mariah Carey herself, who saw the video and immediately tweeted: "This is the best thing I've ever seen, you guys just made my day! Happy Happy Christmas!!! x0x0 to the troops."
Lt Kelly Cleeve told BBC News that the video had been filmed during a period of respite, as "a way to boost morale and give the guys a bit of a diversion," after a stressful few months.
"The response to the video has been amazing, and I've been watching with much interest. We chose this particular song as it was upbeat, cheerful, fun and well-known. Most of those that saw it were complaining that they had the song stuck in their heads for days afterwards."
Now you know how Mariah Carey feels.Read More

Done Deal?: £70,000-a-wk Star Finally Agrees To Complete Arsenal Transfer,Deal Will Be Announced Soon
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is planning a major title push this season and the boss is aware of the need to bring in only the best to achieve his target.
Arsenal want away defender, Mathieu Debuchy look set to be heading to Germany after all with English Premier League side Aston Villa refusing to meth the loan fee for the French defender.
According to Sportwitness, Debuchy has been heavily linked with a loan move to Aston Villa, and he also admitted talking to Aston Villa manager Remi Garde over the phone about a possible loan move. The French man is seeking a move away from the Emirates in search for more playing time in a bid to boost his chances of making Didier Deschamp's team for the European Championship in the summer.
According to the TELEGRAPH, Debuchy's loan fee of around £1.25 Million is proving to be a stumbling block for Villa's board, who are reluctant to spend as they prepare for likely relegation to the Championship. Villa have also pulled out of a loan deal to sign Bordeaux defender Lamine Sane, with sources in France suggesting they were informed by Villa that funds were to be scaled back this month.
Debuchy would now accept the offer from Bayer Leverkusen and may be heading to Germany for the remainder of the season as he has not featured for the Gunners since November.

Think Progress
By Esther Lee
May 12, 2016
Dozens of immigrant advocates are using taco salad to remind Republican lawmakers that they won't forget who stood with Donald Trump, who has found many ways to offend the immigrant community throughout his presidential campaign.
The presumptive GOP nominee has made inflammatory remarks characterizing Latino immigrants as rapists, criminals, and drug dealers. He also favors deporting the 11 million undocumented immigrants currently living in the country; stripping away an executive action issued by President Obama that would grant temporary work authorization and deportation relief to certain undocumented immigrants; and banning Muslim immigrants from entering the country. And though Trump's rhetoric has inspired some of his supporters to become violent toward Latinos and immigrants, the presidential nominee has yet to condemn those acts.
And last week, Trump marked Cinco De Mayo by tweeting out a photo of himself eating a taco bowl, declaring that he loves Hispanics.
Coincidentally, on Thursday -- the same day that Trump was in the nation's capital to meet with lawmakers on the Hill -- the Senate's cafeteria served taco salad on its menu. Advocates were quick to seize on the opportunity.
Members of the immigrant rights groups Latino Victory Project, United We Dream and United Farm Workers made their way to GOP offices with deliveries of taco salad, calling on senators to remember that supporting Trump would also mean supporting policies to deport the people who farmed, prepared, and served the food that made those taco salads possible.
"Implicit in this action is who harvested the tomatoes and lettuce," Lynn Tramonte, the deputy director of America's Voice, told ThinkProgress. "Who shredded the lettuce? Who created the tortilla and deep fried it to create a salad and made it look nice? A lot of people involved in the process of preparing the food that Donald Trump is eating are immigrants."
The National Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS) estimates that about 48 percent of agricultural workers are unauthorized immigrants. The basic ingredients that went into those taco salads -- tomatoes, cheddar cheese, onions, lettuce, ground beef, chips, salsa -- are primarily picked by Latino workers, who are often immigrants.
Florida tomato workers are mostly immigrants from Mexico and Central America earning about 45 cents per 32-lb bucket of tomatoes, a rate that has not risen much since 1978. A lobbyist for Idaho's dairy industry once estimated that the workforce consisted of "probably about 70 percent foreign-born labor," while Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID) put the number closer to 90 percent. Immigrants have long been drawn to the meatpacking industry, though injuries on the job are frequent and sometimes long-lasting.
According to the immigrant rights organization, advocates delivered lunch to the offices of Sens. Richard Burr (R-NC), Rob Portman (R-OH), Pat Toomey (R-PA), John McCain (R-AZ), Roy Blunt (R-MO), Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), John Cornyn (R-TX), Ron Johnson (R-WI), Mark Kirk (R-IL), Cory Gardner (R-CO), and Ted Cruz (R-TX). They also visited House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Rep. Joe Heck (R-NV), who have upcoming key house races.
Several of those lawmakers accepted the delivery cordially. Cruz's staffers said that they could take the salad but could not discuss campaign issues.
"They need to realize that they're talking about people whose services they are benefiting from," Tramonte said.
Activists also hoped the politicians would realize that their support for Donald Trump's presidential campaign could cost them.
Carlos Juarez, one of the activists who participated -- who came to the United States from Guatemala at the age of 12 -- told ThinkProgress he wanted to deliver a taco bowl to House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) because "I want him to know that our community won't forget their support for Donald Trump."

A Multitalented Unit, that can playback or copy LP's, Cassettes and Radio Programs to CD
LP's or 45-singles covered by dust sitting in a corner of the basement? Treasured recordings on audio cassettes in a shoe box somewhere that hasn't been heard since years? Those days are gone!

This unique model is a 3-speed turntable (33, 45 and 78rpm), a cassette playback deck, an AM/FM radio and a CD Recorder/Player all in one, classic wooden console.
The LP-R500 is the ideal piece of audio equipment for anyone who would like to preserve all his old vinyl records by recording them once again using modern digital technology and transferring the music to a CD which can be played in any CD player anywhere at any time. Just put on a record or insert a cassette, cue it to where playback should start, insert a blank, recordable CD into the CD-Recorder and press the record button … that's all there is too it.
Record the whole album or select individual songs using the pause control. The recording level and track numbers can both be individually set automatically or manually and appear in the display.

Replacement "needles" for the turntable are available as optional accessories at additional cost. Stereo line outputs are mounted on the rear panel which allows using any of the built in sources as an external signal source which can be connected to the line inputs of almost any additional external amplifier.
