Demon Underground
S.L. Wright
Roc, $7.99
Allay tends the Den on C bar in Manhattan's Lower East Side in order to dine off the anguished emotions of human patrons who drink there though she finds doing that an abomination even though she has somewhat adapted. She is a one of a kind type of demon; as she is a human who ingested the life force of a demon. Her scent signature differs from demons who would all love to feed off her. Allay's offspring Bliss seems more adjusted than she while her BFF Shock warns her not to trust Theo Ram who has killed his offspring for many millennia. Allay is attracted to Ram.
Being a unique hybrid places her in an odd position of no one trusting her and thus she is the perfect individual to foster an agreement to end the squabble between powerful fighting demons. However, as she works on the place, Allay has some doubts about what is going on. She fears she is being used as an expendable discard and though feeling paranoid as she believes assassins are flooding the streets with her as a target; she goes underground knowing the hostilities is about to explode into open urban warfare.
The second demon urban fantasy (see Confession of a Demon) continues the Manhattan saga of Allay trying to survive in a world where she feels she does not belong. The action-packed story line will hook readers from the onset as the heroine is trapped in a deadly demonic tug of war. Although it pays dividends to read the first exhilarating thriller to better understand key players especially the heroine, a mix of California mellow and New York shtick, Demon Underground is a super tale.

Frost Moon
Anthony Francis
Bell Bridge Books, $16.95
In Atlanta six foot plus Mohawk wearing Dakota Frost runs the Rogue Unicorn in Little Five Points. She claims to be the best kick-butt magical tattooist in the Southeast. Her clients include witches and shapeshifters as she is a super skindancing tattooist. Dakota hates bloodsuckers like Republicans and vampires; in her mind both rule the world with one more overt about their dining on others.
Atlanta Police department Homicide detective Rand, who is close to Dakota's father, asks her to come to the station. There he shows her evidence of ripped off human skin with a tattoo on it pinned to a board. Rand asks Dakota questions as to what the magical tattoo does; she says it is the work of Richard Sumner, buried in Cincinnati in 2005. Rand says he needs her help open the case where as the normally offensive amazon just wants to puke as the wood is actually a box containing more epidermis. Obviously a serial killer is murdering the tattooed. She knows if she assists the cops and Feds, she will be drawn away from drinking coffee at gentile outdoor cafes with patrons like witches into the darkest slum of the city; Edgeworld where the nastiest paranormal live amidst the tormented souls.
Although too much of the Francis universe is introduced in the first SKINDANCER urban fantasy, fans will enjoy this terrific paranormal amateur sleuth. In many ways the story line reads like an otherworldly noir starring the latest six foot plus kick butt female tattooist (see Ellie Jasper's Dark Ink Chronicles and Karen E. Olson's The Tattoo Shop). Dakota's take no prisoners' investigation provides readers with the vivid vision of Anthony Francis' Atlanta Underground inside an exhilarating thriller. Harriet Klausner
The Dark Griffin
K.J. Taylor
Ace, $7.99
A Northerner son of a slave Arren Cardockson has come a long way due to his bond with Eluna the griffin who chose him and he named her. However, the teen griffiner understands in spite of the fact that his peers rule Cymria; his roots will never allow him to break through the glass ceiling. Some already feel the Northerner has been allowed to soar to high as he can. With Eluna at his side they watch over trade in the city of Eagleholm.
Arren and Eluna are assigned to catch a rogue griffin, which the Northerner hopes to make some money on this venture to pay off debts. Arren meets the nameless Dark Griffin who has lived alone in the mountainous wilderness with vague memories of his mother when he was a fledgling. They are connected, but that link harms Eluna who does leaving Arren in an emotional void in which he holds himself culpable.
This is a fascinating fantasy as readers will be enthralled by the violent nameless Dark Griffin who steals the show from his violent survival birth to his even more unrestrained savagery. Adding to the strong tale are Arren knows he is directly at fault with the foolish debt he incurred that led to the mission and Eluna's death and the de facto racism against Northerners. Fast-paced, readers will enjoy flying the skies over K.J. Taylor's Cymria in this outstanding fantasy. Harriet Klausner

Falling Eurozone Confidence Enables GBP/EUR Exchange Rate Gains
The GBP/EUR exchange rate rose on Thursday thanks to some disappointing Eurozone confidence stats and following the rate hike form the Federal Reserve.
A range of business and industry confidence measures showed an overall slowdown across the bloc, including a drop in consumer confidence levels. This represents the 9th month of falling sentiment in the Eurozone.
Furthermore, the Eurozone's latest business confidence survey revealed that sentiment in the bloc was languishing at a one-year low this month as firms' expectations worsened over trade fears.
GBP/EUR Could Rise Further on Bank of England Policymaker Speeches
The Bank of England's Chief Economist Andy Haldane and Governor Mark Carney are both giving speeches this afternoon and traders will be keen to listen for any hints of interest rate policy going forward.
Despite continued uncertainty surrounding Brexit, Sterling investors hope that the Bank of England will be able to push through an additional rate hike this year.
With interest rates remaining at a low of 0.75%, any signs of a future rate hike could be enough to boost GBP.
EUR/GBP Hit by Italian Budget Concerns
The euro also lost ground against the pound today due to a number of concerns, not least of which is an Italian budget impasse.
Right before the deadline to present its first budget, media reports suggested there were fractures within Italy's new coalition government.
In response the Italian government was forced to deny the reports that the Economy Minister was about to walk out.
Euro Inflation and German Unemployment Data Ahead
Tomorrow's main Eurozone data will come in the form of German unemployment figures and, later, Eurozone-wide inflation data.
With no change to the jobless rate being forecast, the Euro may find itself being influenced more by the Eurozone inflation data.
As it stands, economists forecast a higher rate of year-on-year inflation, which if confirmed will likely lead to the Euro rising against the Pound.
Higher inflation will put more pressure on the European Central Bank to raise interest rates.

Rosberg capitalises on first lap chaos
With his fifth consecutive victory and second of the 2016 campaign, Nico Rosberg's rich vein of form continued in Bahrain. Despite losing out to teammate and chief rival Lewis Hamilton on Saturday afternoon, Nico dominated Sunday's race after the Briton was heavily compromised by another poor start, followed by contact with Valtteri Bottas at the turn one pressure point. Recovering to finish third, Mercedes' inter-team battle currently sees Rosberg a substantial 17 points ahead having recorded the maximum so far.

Endurance racing and the NC (third gen) Miata highlight the contingency awards enhancements. More will be announced later next week with more details about the ChampCar Endurance Series and the Mazda contingency awards program. In club racing and autocross, many auto manufacturers pay contingency awards, though not all. Of those who do, the philosophy has largely been to pay just the winner or, perhaps, the podium. Manufacturers want wins and podiums to be able to showcase. Mazda is different. It wants to showcase the talented Mazda racers, but it also rewards many racers who finish deeper in the fields. "At Mazda, we don't do things just because they've always been done that way," commented David Cook, Mazda Motorsports' business development manager. "A core value of ours has been continuous kaizen (continuous improvement). In 2017, we began paying deeper in the fields – often the top five finishing positions. In 2018, we paid a little deeper overall. And starting in 2019, as we refocus our efforts in road racing and autocross, we will offer contingency awards to Mazda racers in three sanctioning bodies for the first time – all endurance racing focused." Mazda racers competing in American Endurance Racing (AER), ChampCar, and World Racing League (WRL) are now eligible for contingency awards. For those choosing an MX-5 Miata, Mazda Motorsports has secured a parts rewards program as the primary compensation for these racers. These "parts rewards points" can be used to acquire many Miata racing competition parts from Mazda Motorsports. While points cannot be combined with cash to purchase a given part, the points value range in the hundreds to thousands of dollars in value. The list of Miata competition parts and associated point value will be released later this month. Due to fewer competition parts choices for those Mazda racers who do not compete in a Miata, they will be eligible for the standard "cash" rewards (applied through a rewards card). "We have been following ChampCar, AER, and WRL for multiple years, and have become very impressed with the level of professionalism and focus on the customer experience each sanctioning body provides," said Cook. "As Mazda racers are choosing to compete in endurance racing, we will continue to find additional ways to support them." While Mazda Motorsports is getting behind select endurance racing sanctioning bodies, the GT3 class, it is also turning its support focus to the NC MX-5 Miata (2006 – 2015; third generation Miata). "The NC Miata is primed to take off in the club racing market," commented Cook. "And we are going to give it a big boost." As the price of the NC Miata road car has come down over the years and the NC Miata race car have made their way from pro racing into the club racing market, the opportunity to acquire an NC Miata for club racing competition has never been more affordable. Tether this with the ongoing support of the Mazda Motorsports Team Support Programand the emergence of the Spec MX-5 Challenge series, the owner's value proposition is remarkable. But Mazda Motorsports is not resting there. After the great success of Spec Miata (the series for the first two generation Miatas), Mazda Motorsports is taking those learnings and greatly enhancing its support of the NC Miata to drive it to become a spec national class in NASA and SCCA competition in the coming years. "We have been above 50% market share, based on participation, in SCCA club racing for many consecutive years," added Cook. That allows us competitive advantages in the market place to continue offering a Team Support Program bar none. Our goal is to get to 60%, which would allow us even greater means to support club racers. To do this, we need Spec Miata to continue to flourish, while also gaining new customers in other areas. The NC platform, being a quick, reliable, affordable and fun car that comes with all the support we are known to offer and more, entices other car owners. Our support of Spec Miata and other classes such as GT3 will continue to grow, as evident with our investment and partnership with Penske Racing Shocks and the GT3 Challenge presented by MPI, while we will bolster the support of the NC, in particular." While Mazda Motorsports is planning to share more on the NC Miata strategy later this month, part of its strategy can be viewed through its contingency support program. The new parts rewards bonus in endurance racing is just one new offering. NC owners will receive increased contingency awards, including the parts rewards bonus by accruing points in other series such as SCCA Touring 4, NASA ST5, and Spec MX-5 Challenge. These added contingency awards via the parts rewards bonus will help NC Miata and endurance racers continue to maintain top performing race cars by more easily acquiring competition parts from Mazda Motorsports. And according to Cook, contingency enhancements for the NC are going to exist beyond 2019. As Mazda has nearly doubled the number of Mazda racers who have earned contingency during these last two years, and it continues to invest in racers with older and newer generation cars, one thing should be clear to all in the club racing arena, this is a very good time to be a Mazda racer.

Ran When Parked!
jmcfarland posted a topic in Team Biography and PicturesJust getting into the game! Was baptized at the Watkins Glen event this year (2017) and thought everyone was nuts! Coming from SCCA club racing I was looking to see if Chump was something for me. I kept shaking my head. No, too much. Too involved. Saw lots of people pouring over cars in the garage. Rebuilding engines and transmissions overnight. Swapping them out. This was insane. I said I'm not doing this! Too much of a commitment. But now I can't stop thinking about how much fun this was. The Protege was purchased from a friend that was in the ITA group that I would hang with at Mid Ohio. The price was right and my long time friend Bob Marano wanted to get back into racing. We were doing the math and figured with a little help we could do this on a budget. I know there is no such thing as cheap racing, but the quest for us would be to do as much as possible with as little as possible. Little to no more investment into the car as it sits with general wear items to only deal with. K.I.S.S. and finish and have fun. Then go from there. So the plan is for 2018 to hit a couple of races with some other friends to help us do this. We promise to move over for you!
Cleaning the basement and had this as a spare from the first SM race car. It's the MazdaSpeed Spec Miata exhaust for the NA generation ('90-'97) 0000-06-5425. I believe these are no longer available. It is stainless steel (Bosal branded muffler) and overall in good shape. It does not have a flange, so it will need to be welded in or have a flange fabbed to it. Perfect for a ChampCar / LeMons build or AutoX/Solo if not for an SM. $75 cash In Ann Arbor, MI but I can bring this to VIR 24 next week.
SOLD. I have a set of Spec Miata Bilstein shocks with genuine Fat Cat bump stops. This set of shocks came off a high-end SM build and they were shock dyno'd from a large group of shocks to be a matched set. They have very little track time on them, totaling just five SCCA race weekends. Yes, there are some slightly cheaper sets available, but they likely have a lot more track time on them and are not a matched set. Couple of small scratches from removal, but otherwise in great shape. Comes with genuine Fat Cat bump stops (not the knock offs that one shop was selling) Can send additional images. Front part number: 24-014885 Rear part number: 24-014892 Thanks.

Mazda RX-7 First Gen parts supply
toyracer71 posted a topic in The Source for Cars, Parts & ServicesHi Everyone- I am helping to reduce a stock pile of Mazda RX-7 first gen parts. I have a large range of parts from engine to electrical. It would probably take a good sized moving truck to move them all. They were off of two cars that were used for road racing by my late father. The motor parts are 13B and the housings that are from the first 13B that was in the 1984 GSL-SE (the six port motor), but a lot of the parts could be used in any 13B motor. We are wanting to sell to someone (or lots of someones) that can make good use of all these parts. If we can not sell them asap they will be going to the recycling shop where they will be lost for good. I am open for questions or you can see some of the parts here: www.warlockmotorsports.com Thanks Mike

Well, it was my understanding that our brothers and sisters running 1st gen got together for the greater good... I think us 2nd Gen guys and gals could do the same... With set AIV coming for 2014, would other 2nd gen RX7 teams be interested in sharing some documentation for the remainder of 2013? My team has already ran the first Road Atlanta, and would like to work down our numbers if possible for the future... Pm me if interested teams would like to discuss...

|Straight from city council
A personal view,
by Councillor Steve Morris
Should Council provide a kerbside rubbish, recycling and food waste service or continue leaving it up to current contractors? It's a significant question that Council will have to answer soon.
Tauranga is the only major centre without a rates-funded kerbside collection. As you're aware, the present regime involves residents organising their own rubbish; whether it be collection bags, rubbish only, or a mix of rubbish and recycling. Long-time residents are used to this and pay accordingly; however, I receive complaints from more recent residents used to rubbish being included in their rates bill.
When rubbish companies stopped collecting glass in 2018 there was an outcry from residents that lost a convenient opportunity to recycle. I note they never receive a reduction in their rubbish invoices for the reduction in service! Council stepped in and provided a rates-funded fortnightly glass collection; now twice as much glass is collected at the kerbside than before but it's come at a cost of $36 per house per year.
Last year, Council consulted on introducing a full kerbside service and most submissions came back in support; largely for environmental and convenience reasons.
A rates-funded collection would reduce the five or six trucks that drive up your street each collection day, but it'd cost local jobs as a result. A rates-funded recycling and food-waste collection makes sense. However, I'd like to see rubbish collection charged on a pay-as-you-throw basis so as not to penalise people who generate less rubbish with a one-size-fits-all service that may cost them more than they pay now.

2 NATO Soldiers Killed in Attack in Southern Afghanistan
Two NATO service members were killed Wednesday in southern Afghanistan after coming under fire from men wearing the uniforms of Afghan security forces.
NATO service members fired back, killing the attackers, the organization's Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan said in a statement, CNN reported Wednesday.
It didn't disclose the identities of the service members who were killed, saying that would be left to the relevant national authorities.
Afghan and NATO officials are still looking into the circumstances of the firefight, which took place early Wednesday at an Afghan security forces compound in the southern province of Helmand, the Resolute Support statement said.
It wasn't immediately clear if the attackers were members of the Afghan security forces or had obtained the uniforms by other means.
The Resolute Support Mission, which focuses on training and support of Afghan forces, replaced NATO's formal combat mission at the end of last year.
As of the end of May, it consisted of more than 13,000 troops from 40 different nations. The United States is the largest single contributor, with more than 6,000 service members.
Attacks against NATO's presence in the country are frequent.
Three American contractors with the mission were among at least a dozen people killed in a suicide bombing of a convoy in Kabul, the capital, on Saturday.
Earlier this month, an attack on a NATO coalition base in Kabul killed at least one American, a defense official told CNN.

In pearls and blue, Houstonians say goodbye to Barbara Bush
Yolanda Terence was panicking.
The car was long gone, the first floor of her Bear Creek home still in repair. But Hurricane Harvey was supposed to have spared the pearls.
They were nowhere to be found.
The 59-year-old adored everything about Barbara Bush - the first lady's mission to fight illiteracy. Her loving embraces of strangers of all kinds. Her warmth. And the pearls.
Terence - better known as "Yogi" - had a bracelet. And they were integral to the last tribute she had planned for her role model.
Eventually, she found them Saturday morning hidden in the bottom of a dresser drawer that had to be moved upstairs after Harvey. She fastened them on her left wrist to polish off her blue outfit -Bush's favorite color.
She had never met Bush. But like many others gathered in Memorial Park, the late first lady's life felt familiar. She reminded Terence of her mother, and of the duty she has to raise her seven grandkids with love and kindness.
"She's what we need more of," Terence said at the park, which flanked the route Bush's funeral procession took to her burial in College Station. "She led others to want to be better, and I want to be just like her."
"We may not all be Barbara Bush," she said. "But we can all try to be like Barbara Bush."
Nearby, a woman in a blue dress stood solemnly with a bouquet of yellow daisies. She barely spoke English, but knew what people meant when they pointed to the pearls wrapped around her neck, greeting each compliment with a smile and a "thank you."
Pattie Kerr, meanwhile, skipped the pearls in favor of running shoes and a sweatshirt. She, too, was inspired by Bush, who used to shop at the same Tanglewood grocery stores as Kerr.
"She never acted like a celebrity or anything," Kerr said. "She went to Sam's Club and ate at Fuzzy's Pizza. How awesome is that?"
Kerr met the Bush family a handful of times. But she talks about them like they're old friends.
"She made you feel like you were the most important person in the world to her," Kerr said. "Now I feel like a piece of Houston is gone. But she left behind so many gifts for us."
Soon after, a procession of police officers made their way down Memorial Drive.
Terence quickly put down her crossword puzzle and shuffled to the road's median.
One car went by, then another.
Then, around the bend, came a long, black hearse.
Terence nearly lost her breath.
In stunned silence she watched the car moved toward her, greeting Bush with a delicate, blown kiss as she passed a few feet away - a final goodbye to her icon and role model.
Then, the cars disappeared out of view. Terence pulled a napkin from her blue jacket and dried her eyes, her pearls dangling from her wrist.
"I just wanted to say goodbye," she said.

Olam: Working To Boost Production Of Nigerian Rice
Statistics has it that Nigeria consumes whooping five to six million metric tons of rice annually. It is however unfortunate that a country like Nigeria with abundant land and water still imports over three million metric tonnes of rice, while government spend a billion dollars annually on rice importation.
The federal government came up with different policies to encourage local rice production, however despite concerted efforts to stem the tide of rice importation; foreign rice keeps dominating Nigerian markets. Often time, when local rice is mentioned, the picture that comes to mind is rice filled with stones and particles.
Today, the story is different as rice produced in the country can compete favourably with foreign rice. In fact, experts have proved that locally produced rice is healthier and tastier than the imported ones that may have been stored in silos for up to 15 years before getting to the market.
Olam Rice farm, one of Nigeria's rice producers with brand names, Mama's Pride and Chef Choice is working to ensure that the staple food meets up to the standard of rice imported from India, Thailand among others. The farm, which started operation in 2012, is mechanised with high-powered fully automated farm machines. The combine harvester's machines can harvest up to 20 hectares per day. The farm also has an aircraft, which is efficient for spraying fertilizer, herbicides and pesticides. The network of artificial dams created around the farm enable the company to cultivate during seasons.
In its bid to ensure the rice is of international standard, the farm, according to Mr. Jayant Jagtap, Head, Olam Rice Mill has commenced planting on 4000 ha. With average yield of 5.5 to seven tonnes per hectare, the farm currently produces about 72,000mt of paddy rice annually.
Jagtap, said, "the quality of rice planted such as Faro 44 and Faro 52, are excellent varieties, which have better quality and yield than most imported rice grain. Built into the farm system is a 105,000 capacity state-of-the-art milling plant that meets international standard to process high quality rice."
Explaining the production process, Jagtap said to guarantee the production of high quality rice, after the paddy is brought from the farm, is sieved, dried and stored in the silos. During the production stage, the paddy is parboiled, washed and dried again, it then pass through seven cleaning processes by different machines, after which it is taken to another special machine for stone removal, then it goes through polishing stages, after which the paddy is taken through eight different machines for grading. The rice then goes through the optical colour sorter for sorting out the black particles in the rice, after which the rice is packed and baggage."
Mr. Mahesh Nimje, Olam's head of sales and distribution, noted that with the mill in place, the company produces 310,000 metric tonnes of high quality parboiled rice annually and aims to double the production by 2016, when the company plans to increase its cultivation to 6000 hectares. On the sales performance of their products, Nimje disclosed that the company is not doing badly in terms of sales, as in the last three month it has sold about 3000 trailers. However, the company hopes to increase their sales and expand to other unreached markets in the country.
He said the country may need to continue importing rice for some years to come, so as to make up for the demand and supply gap, however he pointed out that other local rice millers need to get serious in ensuring self sufficiency of the staple food, he noted "as far as am concern, Olam is the only serious company producing rice in Nigeria, as we are creating jobs, improving the lives of people in the community and ensuring we get high quality parboiled rice to the table of Nigerians, I think others need to get serious in the business of rice production."
While lamenting on the lack of power supply, he noted that they have to generate their electricity to power the farm and call on the government for assistance. He also noted that since 2005 and in addition to its import business, the company have been investing in domestic rice production by supporting smallholder farmers with training and finance, as well as investing in local milling and selling into the Nigerian market.
In 2013, we invested over N19 billion in 10,000 hectare farm with integrated mill, which directly employs 950 people from the surrounding communities and the number of people employed on the farm during harvest time increased to 3000 people.
"We have invested a lot of money in Nigerian rice, setting up mill plant, the farms and the people employed and so, it becomes difficult to compete with the cross border rice coming into Nigeria; that is the price challenge we have. If the government is able to block the borders and give a level playing field, Nigerian rice will be cheaper than other imported rice coming into the market. If the cross border rice incursion is stopped, it will be better days for Nigerian farmers."
