Okay – here's the cover for Tantalizing Tilly. I love it and I love the cover gods at Ellora's Cave. This book follows on from Penned Again but in saying that they are all stand alone books hence the reason I was against a series title. This one's released early January. What? Yes, you have to wait. Why? Because happily I have lots of books released right up until then.
The Blurb…
Tilly Moor's life is complicated. She is in debt up to her eyeballs and a bunch of freaks are out to kill her for revenge. The last thing she needs is an immortal being in her life offering her knee wobbling sex when staying alive is her prime objective.
Spellbinder Titch isn't about to let anything happen to the woman he knows is his true love. Fighting off freaks is easy, getting Tilly to admit she loves him is anything but.
Ha! Trapped like a fat rat. I heard Mervina get her comeuppance last night. The trap is under the house. My under the house is your standard messy basement where I drive in and park the car, where the laundry is and it's full of amazingly useless crap that I can't throw out because what if I need some of it? Anyway I am an exceptionally light sleeper. Stuff three blocks away will wake me up. I heard the trap shut on the possum last night. I heard said possum kicking at the trap door as if pissed off and I am fairly sure I heard some pretty graphic swearing. I snickered…okay I laughed because I was in charge now and not some kamikaze rodent. I wandered down on my way to work to take a squiz at her. Mervina gave me the evil eye. Ever had a possum do that to you? It ain't pretty. Anyway, I stood and explained to her that if she just stayed outside in her natural surroundings in and amongst the trees and the large cement animals that adorned my backyard, then she would have been okay. She said nothing – what could she say…you know if she could speak? She did not have a furry leg to stand on in her defence. It's quite interesting having an in-depth conversation at 7am with a possum. You ask
yourself two things. Am I mad? The answer – yes, most definitely. The other thing…I wonder if I can knock off work at 3pm instead of 4pm…well not everything is about the possum and it is Friday.
Speaking of which I am going out west to the country so no blog Saturday. My eye is twitching madly at the thought of being out in the country. It's so rural and full of cows and crops and stuff. I have the necessary survival equipment – mobile phone, laptop, strawberry bubble gum – so I can face anything. Talk to you Sunday…if I make it back alive that is… Thar be animals in the country that can kill…cows, tractors, cowboys…hhmm…cowboys…
Emerald Green is now on sale now at Ellora's Cave. Author Desiree Holt had kindly passed on an excerpt for you to enjoy and yes, you can click on the cover to buy. The Amarinda Blog brings you only the best books.
Emerald Green – the blurb
Meredith Kincaid wouldn't be at her grandmother's bed & breakfast in Maine in October instead of enjoying the warmth of the Caribbean if she hadn't discovered her fiancé in bed with two of her bridesmaids before the wedding. Tired of seeing her hiding away, her grandmother sends her off to the village for the afternoon. In the village candy cum jewelry store, she meets a handsome stranger who buys her an emerald pendant and offers to share his fudge with her. Mesmerized by his sensual good looks, she agrees to take a ride along the coast with him. Before she can blink her eyes, she is naked on a private, secluded beach, and the mouth-watering stranger is coaxing her into sexual situations that both startle her and bring her more fulfillment than she's ever had. The afternoon is an initiation into the pleasures of the flesh, but sadly, all good things must come to an end. When Meredith wakes up at her grandmother's, she wonders if the afternoon really happy or did she just dream it? But life is about to hand Meredith another surprise, one which will open yet more doors to her own sexuality.
The Excerpt – be warned – this is for adults only
"That looks like it belongs on you." The voice was deep and warm like honey.
Meredith turned her head and found herself pressed full length against the most gorgeous man she'd ever seen. Dark hair brushed the collar of his shirt and thick lashes framed whiskey-colored eyes. His tanned face, more rugged than handsome, had deep grooves etched into the sharp planes and a sharp scent drifted past her nose. Pulses throbbed instantly in her breasts and her cunt.
"Oh!" Her breath felt rapped in her lungs. "Thank you."
She tried to move slightly away but his body enveloped her, keeping her in place. She knew she should feel threatened but instead she only felt turned on. The heat from his body was like a cloud of air around her and she could feel the thickness of his cock just touching her buttocks.
He must have gestured to a sales clerk, because in a moment the case was unlocked and the pendant lay displayed in its glory on the counter.
"Allow me." He lifted it with long, slender fingers and fastened it around her neck.
As his hands fell away they brushed across her breasts, so briefly she wondered if in fact she'd imagined it. His fingertips lifted her chin and moved her head so she was looking into the mirror on the counter. The pendant glowed as if it was alive.
"I knew it," he said, his hands resting on her shoulders. "It matches your eyes perfectly." He bent his head so his lips were almost touching her ear. "Do you know in ancient times emeralds were coveted for their magical powers? They were believed to heighten sexual desire in women."
Liquid dampened her panties and her nipples tightened. What was she doing here with this stranger, his voice slowly seducing her? She touched the little tree, running her fingertips over the miniscule stones, hardly aware that he was paying the clerk. Her eyes widened as he pocketed the receipt.
"I can't let you buy this for me. It's way too expensive. I don't even know your name."
The smile undid her again.
Have a great weekend....
Go ahead: Live with abandon. Be outrageous at any age. What are you saving your best self for?

Did you know what "Tilly" means in Jamaica? In case not, it means a man's penis. Our Jamaicans at work think it's hilarious whenever they hear a woman named Tilly.
Love the cover.

I almost feel sorry for poor Minerva, especially if she is part of a couple. You're about to separate her from her one true love. Now he'll have to traverse miles and miles of torturous terrain and overcome odious obstacles to reunite with his soulmate.
Oh, and the Were-Possum...it's been done...well, the American version. In a teen vamp book one of the kids escapes the badguys by playing dead...he's a were-oppossum. No joke.

Susan Boyle gets a standing ovation
Susan Boyle gets a standing ovation after wowing the crowd on the first night of Britain's Got Talent live tour
By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 1:09 AM on 13th June 2009
Perhaps it was the absence of the judges or the fact she knew she had nothing to lose.
But when Susan Boyle stepped on to the stage for the Britain's Got Talent live tour in Birmingham on Friday, she showed none of the nervousness she had demonstrated in previous performances.
The Scottish spinster, who left The Priory just nine days ago after suffering from 'exhaustion', was given a standing ovation after performing two songs.
Miss Boyle got off to a faltering start, appearing to be slightly out of time during the first verse of Memory from Cats - the song she performed in the Britain's Got Talent semi-final.
But she soon seemed to get into her comfort zone, lapping up the crowd's cheers and looking a different person to the fragile individual who entered the Priory.
Wearing the same floor-length glittering dress she sported in the show's final, Miss Boyle reached her arms out to the audience and blew kisses during her performances of Memory and I Dreamed A Dream.
Before exiting the stage, the Scottish spinster replaced her trademark shimmy with a more dignified bow.
'Everyone was wondering how Susan was going to do,' one crowd member said.
'But she looked confident and her voice sounded amazing. She didn't look like someone who was in the Priory just a week ago.'

Al-Ain FC, nicknamed the "Boss" are the most successful and decorated team in Emirati football, winning every domestic competition and earning the honour of being the only Emirate side to win AFC Champions League in 2003. This triumph was followed by an 8-year domestic league drought that was ended in 2012 after escaping relegation by 5 points the year before…
Cosmin Olaroiu was the man to bring in their first pair of league titles since 2004 but two years later the Romanian signed for competitive rivals Al-Ahli and the rest is history. Al-Ain on the other hand went through 3 managers in the space of 7 months with Quique Flores proving to be a failed option to continue their stream of success. Enter Zlatko Dalic, a tough manager who was mostly known for his short time playing as a holding midfielder at Croatian giants Hajduk Split.
Dalic came in to improve the situation surrounding The Boss' season after a fairly successful year-long stint with Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal where he won the Crown Prince Cup while finishing runner-up to Al-Fateh in the Saudi League. And that he did indeed, improving the situation at Al-Ain by winning the President's Cup domestically – giving them a passage into the 2015 AFC Champions League – and reaching the semi-finals of the 2014 edition. In this three-part series we look at the tactical progress of Al-Ain from the appointment of Olariou in 2011 to our current day.
Cosmin Olaroiu – Romanian.
Tenure: 6 June, 2011 –> 6 July, 2013.
Win Percentage: 67.5
Trophies Won: 2 Arabian Gulf League Titles, 1 Emirati Super Cup.
Olaroiu's second season as manager of Al-Ain saw him complete the first consecutive league wins in the professional era of Emirati football, and much of it depended on two of the best players in the league right now – Asamoah Gyan and Omar Abdulrahman.
Gyan signed from Sunderland the previous season in a shock loan move before making the deal permanent. His importance to the team cannot be overstated; Al-Ain were not a one man team by any means but they relied on his goals to drive them to the top. Up till the start of 2015, the Ghanaian scored 90 goals in 74 games (averaging 1.2 goals a game) for Al-Ain and is the leading top scorer of the Arabian Gulf League since the inception of professional football in the UAE in 2008-09. He also finished as top scorer of the AFC Champions League in 2014 while winning the AFC Foreign Player of the Year, further enhancing his credentials as a top striker,arguably the best in Asia.
The team itself was based around attacking instincts that favoured the flanks, aiming to draw attention from Gyan until Al-Ain eclipsed the final third, this is where their work was done. Crosses, wall passes and cutbacks were the name of the game and it was very successful as they finished with one of the best records for champions in UAE history. Not to take away anything from Gyan, his excellent positioning was key to scoring these goals. Mirel Radoi – capable of filling in defence and in midfield – was also a key cog in the line-up as he built play from deep and along with Omar Abdulrahman who elegantly penetrated defence lines and broke compact teams, it was domination used effectively by the Romanian manager.
Cosmin Olaroiu could take individual qualities and adapt them into a fluid team with everything planned beforehand. He doesn't allow spaces for the opponents to exploit (although that can be laughed at with his current tenure at Al-Ahli). Cosmin sports a harsh look on his face, being very disciplinary earned him the nickname "Ferguson of the Balkans" by virtue of his willingness to mould young players into tough, disciplined and hard working men while taking a different approach towards the big names. Cosmin also once said: "there are three important things in football in this order: fitness, tactics and then individual quality" which is revealed in the way that his teams are known to be very fit.
His Al-Ain team were monsters in pressing, everyone except for Gyan, as they didn't allow the opposition to create space centrally. On the contrary Cosmin Olaroiu was an advocate of build-up play through the flanks and this was evident with many of the team's goals being scored as a result of a long diagonal passes from the full backs (or the diagonally opposite central midfielder) or from a through ball in the channel between the centre back and the full back. The philosophy implemented by Olaroiu was at its peak with 74 goals during the 2012-13 Arabian Gulf League season being scored by a team filled with talent, versatility and energy. After all, according to Romanian Football journalist Emanuel Rosu, Cosmin was the manager who "got the best out of his teams and was able to adapt to situations. It was clear in Romania that he was very different." This was almost perfect for Olaroiu but the demolition inflicted on domestic opponents never translated into continental accolades as Olaroiu led the club to a dismal group stage exit in the 2013 AFC Champions League.
At the end of this part, we leave you with this video showcasing the goalscoring exploits of Al-Ain in 2011-12, under Cosmin Olaroiu, when Saudi Arabian legend Yasser Al-Qahtani spent the season on loan:

Google Apps are great for collaborating on organizational projects. Google Scripts add to the functionality of Google Apps and allow you to generate form letters and send emails to your email list in your Google Sheets. While I had some difficulty with Google's tutorial for emailing from a spreadsheet, I did find a work-around that worked for me. However, we invite you to try both methods or develop your own and find what is best for you. You can most likely improve on our training modules and we would appreciate any feedback you have.

United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit
August 29, 2017
DANIEL CHASE HARRIS, Plaintiff-Appellantv.UNITED STATES, Defendant-Appellee
from the United States Court of Federal Claims in No.
l:16-cv-00560-EGB, Senior Judge Eric G. Bruggink.
Chase Harris, Terre Haute, IN, pro se.
Geu Oh, Commercial Litigation Branch, Civil Division, United
States Department of Justice, Washington, DC, for
defendant-appellee. Also represented by Chad A. Readler,
Robert E. Kirschman, Jr., Douglas K. Mickle.
Prost, Chief Judge, Bryson, and Stoll, Circuit Judges.
Daniel Harris appeals the decision of the United States Court
of Federal Claims, dismissing his claim to recover back pay
from the United States Navy for failure to state a claim
under the Military Pay Act, 37U.S.C. § 204 (2012).
See Harris v. United States, No. 16-560C, 2017 WL
532347 (Fed. CI. Feb. 9, 2017). Lt. Harris also appeals the
trial court's dismissal of his due process claim for
failure to state a claim and the trial court's dismissal
for lack of jurisdiction of his challenge to a civilian
court's jurisdiction to convict him as a military service
member. Id. at *3-6. We affirm.
Harris has been an officer in the Navy since 2005. He was
arrested by civilian authorities on November 12, 2013, for
sexual offenses involving minors. Lt. Harris was held in
confinement by civilian authorities until his conviction and
sentencing on July 13, 2015. Lt. Harris was convicted on
thirty-one criminal counts by a jury in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and
sentenced to fifty years imprisonment.
the period between his arrest and conviction, the Navy
withheld Lt. Harris's pay pending the outcome of his
criminal proceedings. Based on his conviction, the Navy
determined that, under the Military Pay Act and the
applicable Department of Defense ("DoD")
regulations, Lt. Harris's absence was unexcused and
therefore he was not entitled to any pay for his absence
during confinement.
Harris filed a complaint in the trial court, seeking to
recover back pay from the time he was arrested until the date
of his conviction. Lt. Harris argued that the Navy's
withholding of his pay prior to trial and conviction violated
the Military Pay Act, as well as his constitutional due
process rights. Lt. Harris also challenged the civilian
court's jurisdiction to charge and convict him given his
position as a military service member.
On the
Government's motions, the trial court stayed fact
discovery and later dismissed Lt. Harris's complaint for
failure to state a claim and for lack of jurisdiction.
Specifically, the trial court concluded that fact discovery
was unnecessary to determine whether he had stated a claim
under the Military Pay Act or for due process violations. The
trial court ultimately held that Lt. Harris failed to state a
claim under the Military Pay Act because he was convicted of
his crimes, and therefore, under the relevant DoD
regulations, he was not entitled to pay during his unexcused
absence. The trial court also concluded that Lt. Harris
failed to state a due process claim because he was not
statutorily eligible to receive pay during his detention and,
as such, the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments were not
implicated. Finally, the trial court dismissed for lack of
jurisdiction Lt. Harris's challenge to the civilian
court's jurisdiction to convict him as a military service
Harris appeals. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 1295(a)(3) (2012).

Last updated: December 4, 20189:01 IST
By: Julio Cesar Medina, Senior Economist and Financial Analyst
The gold rate today in India increased as it ended a four-day losing streak. Gold rates in the Indian market had suffered losses during the last four days on a trot, as the Indian rupee made gains in the international market.
However, the day of trading on Monday, 3rd December saw this phenomenon being reversed, as Gold made solid gains of Rs 390 during the day. The rates of gold have shot up to Rs 31,850 per piece of 10 gram, after 4 consecutive days of losses. The rates are believed to have had increased because of an increased demand from jewelers and high global prices in the market.
Gold prices in India had lost almost Rs 400 during the past days of the slump. Silver, which has tracked gold for a long period now, also increased by a massive margin of Rs 800. This increase is believed to be a direct result of increased demand from coin makers and other industrial units. Gold of 99.9 percent and 99.5 percent purity saw an increase of Rs 390 each to advance to rates of 31,850 and 31,700 per piece of 10 gram respective. Sovereign gold, however, maintained its steadiness at the rate of Rs 24,700 per 8 gram piece.
Silver ready prices reacted to increased industrial off take as they increased by Rs 800. However, the prices for Silver weekly-based delivery declined by Rs 602 to reach Rs 35,749 per kg. Silver coins have remained steady at their previous cost, as they maintained the rate of Rs 72,000 for the buying and Rs 73,000 for the selling of some 100 pieces.
Gold rates in the global market jumped up high, as the dollar weakened after the agreement made between the United States and China at the G20. The United States and China decided upon a temporary truce to their trade war on tariffs. The meeting in Argentina was closely followed by many intrigued viewers, because of the talks between both these countries. Gold immediately reacted to the fall in the dollar, as it reached a one-month high on Monday. The dollar has weakened down, leading to speculations that investors are going for riskier assets in their portfolio.
Gold prices rose drastically today, as the global market saw a day of increased trading. Spot gold prices in the market gained by some 0.7 percent and reached the level of $1,230.81, while the US gold futures gained 0.9 percent to reach levels of $1,236.50.
The rupee could, however, not maintain its gains against the dollar, as it fell today. The rupee tracked a surge in the prices for global crude oil, as it weakened past the 70 dollars a rupee level to close the day at Rs 70.46. It is also believed that a fall in the value of the rupee in the international markets, makes importing gold expensive and increases prices.

According to the records of archaeologists, Kachchativu Island had emerged from water over 115,000 to 130,000 years ago.
The Portuguese had first administered this island during their reign in the Island nation and Sri Lanka has been exercising sovereignty and jurisdiction over Kachchativu and its adjacent waters without interruption. The church on the island is said to be built in early 1900s, dedicated to St. Anthony who is considered to be the Patron Saint of fishermen.Kachchativu, being a small distant island of 1.15 square kilometers located 20 km away from the Delft Island, with no human habitation. However, the fishing community has used this island over the years in order to mend their fishing gear after strenuous venture out at sea.
Incidentally, the small St. Anthony's Church in Kachchativu had become their place of reverence during such visits.The annual Kachchativu feast which is traditionally held in February or March, is attended by a large number of Indian as well as Sri Lankan devotees with a great sense of spiritual attachment to St. Anthony's Church.
However, with the staggering number of devotees visit the island for the annual church mass, the necessity was felt to build a new church on the island.At the request made by the Bishop of the Jaffna His Lordship Rt Rev Justin Bernard Gnanapragasam and following directives of the Commander of the Navy, Vice Admiral Ravindra Wijegunaratne, the Sri Lanka Navy undertook the construction of new St. Anthony's Church by laying the foundation stone of the new church on 09th May 2016. Turning over a new leaf in history, within a time span of 7 months, the Navy erected the new church and bestowed it on the Roman Catholic Diocese of Jaffna on 23rd December 2016.Against this backdrop, this year's annual feast of the newly built St. Anthony's church in Kachchativu is set to get underway on a grand scale on 12th March 2017. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka Navy being the main facilitator of this historic occasion is geared up in all aspects to provide required facilities which include meals, infrastructure, installation of sanitary and drinking water to both local and Indian devotees.On the sidelines of aforesaid event, the Commander of the Navy is also scheduled to declare open the newly constructed Delft Jetty and Kachchativu Pier in Jaffna on 11th March 2017, with the intention of extending Sri Lanka Navy's assistance to regulate transportation among islands in the Jaffna Peninsula. In addition, a water distribution project is also due to be declared open, providing a long waited relief to the Nallinakkapuram villagers.
Meanwhile, 9,000 devotees from both India and Sri Lanka are expected to take part in this year's Kachchativu Feast.

2019 Toyota RAV4 vs 2019 Honda CR-V
In this RAV4 review, we compare it to the new Honda CR-V and show why the 2019 Toyota RAV4 is the choice for Edmonton buyers.
The 2019 Toyota RAV4 is all-new for this model year. Built on Toyota's New Global Architecture platform, the RAV4 now has a longer wheelbase, wider track, and more ground clearance. The new RAV4 in comparison to the outgoing model is also roomier inside and a better drive overall. This freshly designed SUV is also more fuel efficient and lighter in weight when compared to the previous generation RAV4.
The 2019 Honda CR-V was redesigned last year, offering excellent interior space and a smooth ride. Fuel economy is also very good with the CR-V. Also added are improvements to the Honda's safety and all-wheel drive traction systems.
Safety and Tech
Both the new RAV4 in review and the Honda CR-V have comparable advanced safety technologies on board, but only the RAV4 offers them as standard in all trim levels. The Honda only has them in upper-level trim points. The Toyota also includes a larger infotainment screen and some advanced driver assistance and convenience items that aren't in the Honda at all.
With both vehicles, safety takes a priority is plenty of advanced tech on-board. So how does the all-new 2019 Toyota RAV4 compare to the Honda CR-V?
Performance & Efficiency
Differences are more about numbers and details. Here is a breakdown:
|2019 Toyota RAV4
|2019 Honda CR-V
|2.5-litre 4-cyl
|Engine Size
|1.5-litre turbocharged 4-cyl
|8-Speed Automatic
|Cont. Variable Trans. (CVT)
|7.8 l/100km / 7.8 l/100km
|Fuel Econ Avg (2WD / AWD)
|7.8 l/100km / 8.0 l/100km
|213.36mm or 218.44mm
|Ground Clearance
|198mm or 208mm
|1,064.7 litres
|Min Cargo (All Seats Up)
|1,110 litres
|1,976 litres
|Max Cargo (All Seats Down)
|2,146 litres
Performance Features
As the chart shows, the CR-V and new RAV4 comparison puts the two very close to one another in overall specifications. The Toyota's larger engine, excellent fuel economy, and higher ground clearance are all good things. Those who enjoy driving will like the geared transmission, especially off the pavement, compared to the continuously variable transmission in the Honda. Finally, although the 2019 Toyota RAV4 might not quite stack up in total cargo volume, it does have a more accessible and flatter cargo floor in comparison.
Comparing infotainment in the 2019 RAV4 versus the 2019 CR-V shows that the Toyota comes with a larger touchscreen as standard equipment and more USB ports. Both the Toyota and Honda offer Apple CarPlay, but only the Honda has Android Auto. Only the RAV4 has a wireless phone charger option. The 2019 Toyota RAV4 is available as a hybrid as well. Honda does not have a hybrid option for the CR-V. The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid offers up to 6.0 l/100km combined fuel efficiency plus higher power output totals for the engine-motor-transmission combination.
With the new 2019 Toyota RAV4 having excellent drive appeal, an attractive new design, and a spacious, user-friendly cabin, it's a sure win. Those looking at a new 2019 Toyota RAV4 in Edmonton should stop in and see our inventory and aggressive new deals.

The legal profession in the UK has set the date for the country's first 'Justice Week,' it will take place between 29 October and 2 November. Announcing the dates, The Law Society, Bar Council and Chartered Institute of Legal Executives said they are aiming to involve businesses, the public and frontline service providers in a national conversation on broader justice issues. Justice Week is replacing National Pro Bono Week which started in 2001. An event exploring what the public thinks about the justice system and how issues are reported by the media will kick off the week.
Key challenges
Justice Week will promote a mix of research, public events and digital media content, bringing together politicians, the media, industry, the third sector and the public to tackle the key challenges facing the justice system. A spokesperson for the three organisations said, 'with so many parts of the justice system at breaking point, now is the time to make a strong and clear case for why it is so fundamental to our society, economy and democracy. Business groups, members of the public and frontline service providers should all be part of the conversation.'
Public image
The organisations cite a range of issues of public concern in in the UK, and extensive media coverage. The public image of the legal system has been tarnished by a number of issues, including disclosure failings, action over further legal aid cuts, anger over the Parole Board's decision to release John Worboys, and an expose of the criminal justice system by legal blogger the 'secret barrister. The spokesmen said, 'this week aims to take the subject of justice to new audiences and underline the contribution and commitment of legal professionals and organisations to improving access to justice and strengthening the rule of law both in England and Wales and internationally.' The organisers are keen to hear from anyone who wants to run an event or campaign as part of Justice Week, whether it is to promote or support public legal education or pro bono, or to tackle some of the key challenges society faces around access to justice. The Society, Bar Council and CILEx says a specific focus on pro bono will continue with Global Pro Bono Week, which takes place the week before Justice Week.

"Hunted" (aka "Cameron's Chase") eBook was published in 2016 (March, though the paper edition was originally published in 1986) and was written by Phillip McCutchan (https://www.historicnavalfiction.com/authors-a-z/other-authors/philip-mccutchan). Mr. McCutchan wrote 45 novels about the Navy. This is the 11th of 14 novels in his "Donald Cameron RNVR" series.
I received a galley of this novel for review through https://www.netgalley.com. I categorize this novel as 'PG' because it contains scenes of Violence. This World War II era Thriller novel is set aboard the destroyer Glenshiel, where the primary character Donald Cameron is the Captain.
Norwegian resistance notifies the Allies that the German battleship Attila has set sail accompanied by two heavy cruisers. Because of the timing, the Allies believe that the German battle group is after a supply convoy from North America and/or the troop laden Canard ships Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth. All are in route to the UK across the North Atlantic.
The available British fleet is mobilized and sent out to find the Germans. Fog and snow come at a perfect time for the Germans as it keeps their ships hidden from reconnaissance aircraft. Destroyers, including the Glenshiel, are dispatched in a search pattern to find the Germans.
The Glenshiel finds the Attila. In a brief one-sided encounter with the far superior German vessels, the Glenshiel is damaged. With its radio and radar antennas shot away, Cameron and the Glenshiel continue to carefully probe after the Germans.
The story also deals with personnel aboard the Glenshiel. Not all of the sailors are happy being aboard the vessel. The thoughts of several characters, on both the Allied and German sides, are given.
I enjoyed the 6.5 hours I spent reading this 176 page novel. This is the second of the "Donald Cameron RNVR" novels I have read, and I enjoyed this one just as much as the first. It does read well as a stand alone novel. I think they give a good depiction of serving abord a small military vessel in World War II. I give this novel a 4.5 (rounded up to a 5) out of 5.
My book reviews are also published on Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/31181778-john-purvis).

In honour of Diwali and my true love of Indian food, I've decided to share a list of my favourite Indian restaurants in world. Dishes like palak paneer, aloo gobi, mutton masala & samosas are like comfort food to me and no matter where I travel to, I can always find genuine Indian hospitality and a good chef!
I had some excellent food pics to share with this blog post but lost them when my iphone was stolen in Rio de Janeiro recently; so you'll have to make do with the links below and share your own photos sometime! (Lesson: sync everything, always!)
In no particular order, my favourite Indian restaurants are:
Moti (Tokyo)
Tandoor (Taipei)
Tandoor (Sao Paulo)
The Taj (Seoul)
Baba India (Seoul)
Mumtaz (Berlin)
Khan (Zurich)
Musafir (Istanbul)
I had a brief love affair with my neighbourhood Indian bistro, Heavenly Bites in North Burnaby, which sadly closed last year due to family illness. More recently I've been frequenting Simply Curries in Vancouver which proudly supplied the Olympics with samosas!
Happy Diwali & Bon Appetite!

Premier bulks up analytics muscle (again)
Close on the heels of acquiring data analytics company CECity for $400 million this past week, Premier is growing again -- announcing on Wednesday that it would buy Healthcare Insights for $65 million in cash.
Healthcare Insights is a privately held, integrated financial management software developer that provides hospitals and healthcare systems with budgeting, forecasting, labor productivity and cost analytic capabilities.
"As the healthcare industry becomes more complex, value-driven, and data-dependent, the need for health systems to clearly understand their performance in every arena is a top concern," said Keith J. Figlioli, Premier's senior vice president of health informatics, in a news release announcing the deal. "It is not enough to have financial, operational and clinical data. Health systems must understand how to translate that information into effective cost containment strategies, as well as superior clinical outcomes."
[See also: Premier buys performance analytics specialist for $400 million.]
The industry's increased focus on cost is largely driven by the Affordable Care Act, which reduces overall reimbursement, and increasingly holds providers accountable for the total costs and quality of the care delivered. Coupled with the growing movement to value-based payments such as bundling or shared savings, healthcare providers need solutions that can help them understand cost drivers and opportunities for improvement in detail, he explained
Healthcare Insights is expected to enable Premier to offer a more complete solution that delivers additional value by adding budgeting, clinical financial management and productivity analytics to existing cost and quality applications, including the company's enterprise resource planning solution, Figlioli said.
"This strategic combination will allow us to offer a more complete ERP solution with an end-to-end view of cost management," said Thomas Johnston, Healthcare Insights' chief executive officer. "We expect this to increase our hospitals' and health systems' understanding of their clinical, operational and financial performance, and help them deliver more efficient, higher quality care."
[See also: Premier brings pop health to the cloud.]
Founded in 2000, Healthcare Insights' current customer base includes more than 7,500 users across 200 facilities associated with 94 health systems, 49 of which do not currently have a relationship with Premier. KLAS, a leading research firm that provides ratings for more than 900 healthcare products and services, has ranked Healthcare Insights first place in budgeting for the past four years.
The Healthcare Insights acquisition, which was effective July 31, is currently projected to be modestly accretive to Premier's fiscal 2016 revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA. Expected revenue and adjusted EBITDA contributions from the acquisition will be incorporated into Premier's fiscal year 2016 guidance, which is scheduled to be announced on August 24, when the company reports fiscal fourth-quarter and full-year 2015 financial results.

The second Hainan Island International Film Festival (HIIFF) lifted its curtains on Sunday in Sanya city, South China's Hainan province.
Co-hosted by China Media Group (CMG) and the provincial government of Hainan, under the guidance of the China Film Administration, Shen Haixong, president of CMG, announced its opening at the grand evening gala.
Shen Xiaoming, governor of Hainan, jury members of the "Golden Coconut Award," members of the cast and crew of the films attended the event.
"Hainan's development is an important witness to China's reform and opening-up over the past four decades. CMG will strive to create more films with profound ideas, exquisite art and excellent production with the spirit of excellence, meticulousness and pursuit of perfection," Shen Haixiong said, calling on global film industry insiders to work together to develop the Hainan Island International Film Festival.
"Hainan is accelerating the construction of a free trade pilot zone and a free trade port, and to build a new international cultural exchange platform. This film festival will create an international, academic, popular, and never-ending international film event," said Shen Xiaoming.
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. A special section titled "A tribute to the 70th anniversary" was presented at Sunday's evening gala. Eleven Chinese artists recalled the development of China's film industry over the past seven decades.
Launched in 2018, the Hainan Island International Film Festival is the youngest international film festival in China. The handshake of the trophy's main body is a coconut tree with lush palms, symbolizing the natural growth of light and shadow. The fruit in the center of the crown represents the award-winning works, considered amazing achievements by many in the film industry.
A total of 1,495 films from 80 countries have signed up for the festival, according to the organizer.
This is the first year organizers are giving out "Golden Coconut Awards" for feature films, documentary films and short films, as well as a specially established "Best Children's Film" award.
A total of 10 awards to encourage the contributions made by all filmmakers both on and off the screen will be unveiled at the closing ceremony on December 8.
The Hainan Island International Film Festival will also make full use of the beach landscape of Hainan Island and creatively open free "outdoor beach screening" to the public. It plans to conduct island-wide film tours throughout the year, which is innovative and artistic.
CMG will broadcast the opening ceremony live through new media platforms and mainstream channels including 4K channel simultaneously.

Would you recommend this product?No reviews yet
good stuff!
Is the idea here to crowd source the sensor implementation with the goal of a global interactive data set that's accessible to everyone ( I'm thinking of global AIS aggregation like www.marinetraffic.com)? OR for me to have a sensor and an individual analytics suite around my property/neigbourhood? I love the idea of global aggregate data provided by enthusiasts and hobbyist, the value proposition for the individual is to be a contributor to a global data-set. I might be misinterpreting your application, but that idea excites me in general.
@ryanmarr Hi Ryan, thanks for the great question. Today we're focused on delivering a unique service directly to a customer who wants to collect such data for a business or research reason. It is in our future plans to enable everyone to pull data without contributing. Today, we do this ad-hoc for academic use cases, but opening up our data network for free and paid query is a big part of our vision.
@jonlee108 I really like what you are building with Placemeter and also your long term vision. If you can share, I would be curious to know what has been the adoption rate among City Agencies. I would suggest you to check/get in touch with Citymart http://www.citymart.com/solution... "Citymart sources the most inspiring solutions for urban and social challenges in global cities, providing a knowledge resource to enable smarter decisions".
@robertoscaccia We're finding that innovative agencies from cities big and small are hungry for this kind of data. Transportation agencies regularly contract pedestrian and vehicle counts, parks departments measure how people use public spaces, and economic development agencies track commercial activity in business districts. A real-time automated system like ours allows them to perform long-term large-scale projects that wouldn't otherwise be possible.

Gout Specialist
Gout Q & A
What is gout?
Gout is a type of arthritis that is the result of too much uric acid in your blood. That can lead to swollen, painful joints that appear red or purple and are warm to the touch. It most often occurs in men. Alcohol intake, weight, age, and health issues also play a part in whether or not a person is affected by this illness.
The pain can last for weeks if left untreated and once it's gone, you may not have another flare up for months or even years. There's no cure for gout, so once you receive a diagnosis, Dr. Lentzou can assist you with dealing with the symptoms and keeping them under control.
How is gout diagnosed?
To accurately diagnose gout, Dr. Lentzou removes some fluid from one of your inflamed joints. It's then sent off to a lab where it will be examined under a microscope for signs of uric acid. It can't be identified with a blood test because not everyone with elevated levels of uric acid develops gout.
In addition to a painful big toe, the joints in your ankles and knees may also be affected. To ensure that you get the right diagnosis, Dr. Lentzou may also send you for an X-ray, ultrasound, or a computed tomography (CT) scan of the affected joints.
How is gout treated?
While gout is incurable, the symptoms are manageable. One of the most popular ways to do so is with anti-inflammatory drugs.
Dr. Lentzou may also suggest that you limit your intake of red meat, increase how many fruits and vegetables you eat, and do more physical activity to keep symptoms in check and reduce your risk of another attack.
How are gout and tendonitis alike?
Tendonitis is the result of overuse of a particular area of the body and can happen to anyone who does the same motion over and over. Tendonitis and gout tend to affect the same areas of the body and are therefore often confused.
Tendonitis is treated using rest and anti-inflammatory drugs. Dr. Lentzou may also give you a brace or sling to wear while the overuse injury heals.
While anti-inflammatories can help, rest will not help if you have gout.
Call or go online today to make an appointment if you have questions about your aching joints.

Publisher: Knopf Books for Young Readers
Format: Hardcover
Summary from Goodreads:
New York Times bestselling author David Levithan tells the based-on-true-events story of Harry and Craig, two 17-year-olds who are about to take part in a 32-hour marathon of kissing to set a new Guinness World Record—all of which is narrated by a Greek Chorus of the generation of gay men lost to AIDS.
While the two increasingly dehydrated and sleep-deprived boys are locking lips, they become a focal point in the lives of other teen boys dealing with languishing long-term relationships, coming out, navigating gender identity, and falling deeper into the digital rabbit hole of gay hookup sites—all while the kissing former couple tries to figure out their own feelings for each other.
What I thought: Honestly, I'm having a hard time fathoming how I feel about this book into coherent thoughts. I'm reminded of when I read The Lorax as a young child & was struck by how it was a cute story to tell an important message. Reading this book gave me that same feeling- this is a beautiful story woven with David Levithan's trademark beautiful language, but there's also a constant currant of this matters.
As first, I was just a bit bothered by the Greek Chorus narration, but by the time I was about a third of the way into the book, I loved each and every one of them. They tell not only the stories that make up the book, but a whole second (well, fifth) story, that might just be the most interesting story of the bunch.
Every time I read one of Levithan's books, my favorite thing about them is how real and honest they feel, and this is no exception. There are true-feeling accounts of accepting parents & not accepting parents, of happy out couples & closeted kids who are lost and scared, of friends & of more than friends, and Levithan knows how to use words in a way that make me need to stop and pause and take every syllable in before moving on.
After finishing this book, I had to stop and decompress for about twenty minutes, because this book is now a part of me, and it's an adjustment. I'm going to see David Levithan at YALLFest in November, and I'm going to have to compose my thoughts a bit better before then.
Read this if: you are a fan of LGBTQQAI fiction, if you want an atypical contemporary YA novel, if you have a heart?
Out of 5: 5/5
This book was 90/120 for 2013

ON WEDNESDAY, May 23, HD Kumaraswamy finally took the oath as the Chief Minister of Karnataka, and the resultant pictures jolted India's polity. Sonia Gandhi stood next to Mayawati, Sharad Pawar on the other side, Akhilesh Yadav beaming, Sitaram Yechury in a crisp kurta, Ajit Singh's glasses firmly on his nose and even Velu Narayanasamy looking like a VIP.
Even as news anchors discussed whether the Opposition unity will hold till 2019, for the people of Punjab, there was something very intriguing about that picture, and rightly so. It was not easy not to miss someone who was not in the frame. The absence was much more jarring than his presence.
Congress effectively has only one chief minister in India now, and that is Amarinder Singh. (If you insist on splitting hair and counting Puducherry CM, then let's grant the party two chief ministers.)

Name: Plectranthus Ernstii
Family: Labiatae
Country of origin: India
Pot diameter: 15 cm
History and curiosities: It is also known as the incense plant.
This is a strong and adaptable bonsai, which tolerates long period of water shortage and is extremely resistant to temperature change or drastic pruning done in wrong periods. In other words, it is the ideal bonsai for those who wish to give a refined touch to their house, without worrying too much about its care. You can take care of bonsai by following a few and simple rules: you just need to use a slightly acid soil which always has to be kept well drained. The plant requires irregular watering, without exaggerating, and needs to be fertilized once a year with slow release fertilizers. Place it in a well-lit area, possibly near a window or directly under the sun on your terrace. The plant will pay back this little care with the splendid red colour of its leaves in autumn, which will endure for a few weeks and let you enjoy the passing of the seasons.

STOCKTON -- After a series of deadly shootings in Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs responds with plans for his city.
"I want to assure you that our police chief, detectives and officers are working hard to combat crime in our community. Overall crime continues trend downward, but we must remain vigilant," said Tubbs in a press release.
Tubbs says he is working on creating a program that will put an incentive on keeping the peace in the city.
In Richmond, lawmakers created a program that works with troubled teens and gives them a stipend for staying out of trouble.
This is the type of program Tubbs hopes to bring to Stockton.
Tubbs also reminds Stockton citizens to remain vigilant.

Crusaders Bash Brumbies
The Crusaders finished their 2015 Super Rugby campaign with a 37-24 win over the Brumbies at the GIO Stadium in Canberra on Saturday. It took only two minutes for the Brumbies to open the scoring as David Pocock dived over the line after a well executed driving maul. Christian Leali'ifano stepped up to score the conversion.
The Saders hit back immediately through a Nemani Nadolo try in the fifth minute – Tom Taylor failing to get the extras. Nevertheless the visitors managed to take the lead from an 11th minute penalty from the departing Daniel Carter. Leali'ifano and Carter exchanged penalties before Matt Todd went over the line to score the Canterbury franchise's second try of the match, though Carter's conversion attempt went wide of the mark.
The home team were on the ascendancy and pulled further in front after Nadolo booted the ball ahead and beat Nicholas White in a foot-race before diving on the ball for the try as Todd Blackadder's men held a 21-10 lead at the interval. The Brumbies were reduced to 14 men after Jesse Mogg was sin-binned for deliberately knocking down a pass on his try line and Carter made no mistake from the resulting penalty. The Crusaders were reduced to 14 themselves minutes later after Sam Whitelock was given a yellow for a professional foul before Jarrad Butler decreased the deficit with a converted try in the 48th minute.

KACE Product Support Question
KACE K1000 as an Amazon EC2 Instance
06/14/2017 2308 views
Does anybody have any experience with importing the K1000 virtual machine into the Amazon Cloud network as an EC2 instance?
I've talked with various people from Dell / Quest and while I know it's not officially supported I've been told that they think some customers were able to do this.
I've recently tried importing the vmdk file however I receive "ClientError: Unknown OS / Missing OS files" during the conversion from Amazon.
This would be a huge win if we were able to get things running inside Amazon as the Kace is one of the few remaining mission critical production systems still running out of our corporate office.

This probably isn't helpful as it doesn't provide a definitive answer to your question, but I've been plinking aroudn with AWS and tried to set up an Arch box and received that message since it's not an Amazon support distro. After researching a bit, I see that Kace is/was a FreeBSD distro which is also not supported.
Supported OS - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37860663/aws-ec2-import-image-fails-with-error-clienterror-unknown-os-missing-os-file

Yes this was my experience. The KACE OS just isn't currently supported under AWS. Only possible solution now is to wait for Amazon VMWare solution to go live. https://aws.amazon.com/vmware/

I found the Saviour for my eyes!
I have high astigmatism since 5 years old, so do not be surprised seeing me in my spectacles! Astigmatism will easily cause dizziness after long hours of computer/handphone usage due to the light diffraction. Recently I suffered from dry and irritated eyes as I had to face the computer for long hours (can be up to 12 hours a day) 🙁 I also feel that normal eye drop only helps to relieve my eyes for a short while. So, I was recommended with this product and I truly love it after trying. Please continue reading if you are facing some eye problems just like me!
You can call it eye patch, or eye pad or eye mask. It is a product that relieves eye irritation and it helps in treating presbyopia(老花), myopia (近视) and etc. The name of the product is 晶睛黄金视力眼贴 (Golden Vision Eye Pad). Yes, it is a product based in China, as all the ingredients are Traditional Chinese Medicine and the formulation was developed by TCM doctors from China. Thus, it has a strong smell of Chinese Medicine (I personally love TCM smell but if you don't, rest assured that the smell is acceptable).
