Here are the books I gathered during the month of January.
The Tea House on Mulberry Street
By: Sharon Owens
Narrated by: Caroline Winterson
Published: February 2005
Published by: Listen & Live Audio
Format Read: Audio book, Library book, Libby App
Genre: Women’s Fiction
Muldoon’s Tea Rooms, beloved for the cozy atmosphere and luscious desserts, has started looking a bit outdated — and the same could be said about the proprietors, Penny and Daniel Stanley. After seventeen years, their marriage has started to fade and wear a little thin, even as their old shop bustles with the energy of the customers who seek refuge from their particular dilemmas: Housewife Sadie Smith comes to escape her diet and her husband’s stick-thin mistress. Struggling artist Brenda Brown sits and pens love letters to the actor Nicolas Cage. And Clare Fitzgerald returns after twenty years abroad to search for a long-lost someone. Behind the cherry cheesecakes, vanilla ice creams, and chocolate cappuccinos are the stirrings of a revolution that will define lives, heal troubled hearts, and rock the very foundation of the humble teahouse. And through it all, Penny and Daniel manage to discover what truly matters in life and love.-Goodreads
Set in 1999, Belfast; The Tea House on Mullberry Street follows the owners and customers of a small cafe. I was instantly reminded of a Maeve Binchy novel, what with a group of unrelated people with one common connection. This connection was the theme of the story and followed how each character dealt with their individual situations.
It took some time for me to get into the story, but once the plot began to move along, I enjoyed it well enough.
Caroline Winterson was a great narrator who did justice to the different dialects.
I would recommend it to those who enjoy women’s fiction, like Maeve Binchy.
The Lightkeeper’s Daughters
By Jean E. Pendziwol
Published: July 2017
Published by: Harper
Format Read: eBook, Library Book, Libby App
Genre: Historical Fiction, Mystery, Contemporary
Though her mind is still sharp, Elizabeth’s eyes have failed. No longer able to linger over her beloved books or gaze at the paintings that move her spirit, she fills the void with music and memories of her family—a past that suddenly becomes all too present when her late father’s journals are found amid the ruins of an old shipwreck.
With the help of Morgan, a delinquent teenager performing community service, Elizabeth goes through the diaries, a journey through time that brings the two women closer together. Entry by entry, these unlikely friends are drawn deep into a world far removed from their own—to Porphyry Island on Lake Superior, where Elizabeth’s father manned the lighthouse seventy years before.
As the words on these musty pages come alive, Elizabeth and Morgan begin to realize that their fates are connected to the isolated island in ways they never dreamed. While the discovery of Morgan’s connection sheds light onto her own family mysteries, the faded pages of the journals hold more questions than answers for Elizabeth, and threaten the very core of who she is.
Historical fiction, set in a place I’ve visited, with a nautical element: three of my favourite things to read about. Jean E. Pendziwol’s The Lighthouse Keepers Daughters is worthy of a 5 star rating.
It follows an unlikely pair of characters as they revisit the past with the help of the Lighthouse Keepers old log books. This story was the perfect book to read during the fall, as the atmospheric tale set a haunting tone.
The premise initially reminded me of the book Perdita by Hilary Scharper with its dual timeline, lighthouse setting and artistic elements. However I did enjoy this book far more. Other books it has been related to include The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield and The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh, which I have also read and would agree with.
I would highly recommend The Lighthouse Keepers Daughters by Jean E Pendziwol to fans of Canadian historical fiction.
The Shoe Box: A Christmas Story
By: Francine Rivers
Published: September 2011
Published By: Christian Audio Fiction
Format Read: Audio Book, Libby App, Library Book
Genre: Christian Fiction
This Christmas novella tells the unforgettable story of little Timmy, a foster child with a very special and mysterious shoe box. Designed for gift-giving, this heartwarming book features new illustrations, updated content–including Francine Rivers’ favorite holiday recipes and Christmas traditions–and the complete Christmas story from the New Living Translation.Goodreads
Author Francine Rivers found inspiration in her own prayer box, to write a story of a little boy and his special shoe box.
This beautiful short story deeply touched me, as a mother with a young son of my own. Timmy’s unfortunate circumstances only served to strengthen his faith. In turn he shined a light on the true meaning of the Christmas season.
This audiobook also included a version of the Christmas Story that I hadn’t heard before.
The Shoe Box made for the perfect holiday listen and I would highly recommend it to those who enjoy inspirational Christmas stories.
Visions of Sugar Plums: A Stephanie Plum Holiday Novel
(Stephanie Plum, #8.5)
By: Janet Evanovich
Narrated by: Lorelai King
Published: March 2003
Published By: MacMillan Audio
Format Read: Audio, Library Book, Libby App
Genre: Contemporary, Mystery, Series
It’s five days before Christmas and things are not looking merry for Fugitive Apprehension Agent Stephanie Plum. She hasn’t got a tree. She hasn’t bought any presents. The malls are jam-packed with staggering shoppers. There’s not a twinkle light anywhere to be seen in her apartment.
And there’s a strange man in her kitchen.
Sure, this has happened to Stephanie Plum before. Strangers, weirdos, felons, creeps, and lunatics are always finding their way to her front door. But this guy is different. This guy is mysterious, sexy-and he has his own agenda. His name is Diesel and he is a man on a mission. And Diesel is unlike anyone Stephanie has ever met before in her life. The question is, what does he want with her? Can he help her find a little old toy maker who has skipped out on his bail right before Christmas? Can he survive the Plum family holiday dinner? Can he get Stephanie a tree that doesn’t look like it was grown next to a nuclear power plant? These questions and more are keeping Stephanie awake at night. Not to mention the fact that she needs to find a bunch of nasty elves, her sister Valerie has a Christmas “surprise” for the Plums, her niece Mary Alice doesn’t believe in Santa anymore, and Grandma Mazur has a new stud muffin. So bring out the plastic reindeer, strap on your jingle bells, and get ready to celebrate the holidays-Jersey style. “Visions of Sugar Plums”-the world of Plum has never been merrier!
Visions of Sugar Plums is the second of the “in between” novels from the Stephanie Plum, series that I have read. And the second one that included a supernatural character by the name of Diesel, who stars in another one of Janet Evanovich series. Unfortunately I do not enjoy these crossovers due to their paranormal element. Even though Stephanie’s shenanigans are often wild, I just don’t think that it fits in with her world. In the future I will skip these crossover novels and stick with the regular series.
This is the first time I have listened to the Stephanie Plum in audio format. For the most part, I enjoyed Lorelai King’s narration with the exception of the voice she used for Lula. I was also curious as to why she didn’t give Stephanie a New Jersey accent, as that is where she was born and raised.
Unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend Visions of Sugar Plums and would suggest that readers stick with the regular series.
Her Royal Spyness
(Her Royal Spyness Mysteries, #1)
By: Rhys Bowen
Published: July, 2007
Published by: Berkley Publishing Group
Format Read: eBook, Library Book, Libby App
Genre: Historical Fiction, Mystery
Georgie, aka Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie, cousin of King George V of England, is penniless and trying to survive on her own as an ordinary person in London in 1932.
So far she has managed to light a fire and boil an egg… She’s gate-crashed a wedding… She’s making money by secretly cleaning houses… And she’s been asked to spy for Her Majesty the Queen.
Everything seems to be going swimmingly until she finds a body in her bathtub… and someone is definitely trying to kill her.
Her Royal Spyness is book one in Rhys Bowen’s mystery series, that follows Georgiana the fictional great granddaughter of Queen Victoria.
Set in the midst of the Great Depression, it tells of how the most elite of British aristocracy saw their fortunes dwindle with the crash of the stock market. The golden age is over and many including Georgiana and her family are forced to fend for themselves in ways they never had to before.
This was also a period of great change in values and moral decorum. It was becoming more common for young unmarried women to be unchaperoned. Our main character takes advantage of this newfound freedom and moves to London, where mystery ensues.

London 1940, bombs are falling. Emmy Lake is Doing Her Bit for the war effort, volunteering as a telephone operator with the Auxiliary Fire Services. When Emmy sees an advertisement for a job at the London Evening Chronicle, her dreams of becoming a Lady War Correspondent seem suddenly achievable. But the job turns out to be typist to the fierce and renowned advice columnist, Henrietta Bird. Emmy is disappointed, but gamely bucks up and buckles down.
Mrs Bird is very clear: Any letters containing Unpleasantness—must go straight in the bin. But when Emmy reads poignant letters from women who are lonely, may have Gone Too Far with the wrong men and found themselves in trouble, or who can’t bear to let their children be evacuated, she is unable to resist responding. As the German planes make their nightly raids, and London picks up the smoldering pieces each morning, Emmy secretly begins to write letters back to the women of all ages who have spilled out their troubles.
Prepare to fall head over heels with Emmy and her best friend, Bunty, who are spirited and gutsy, even in the face of events that bring a terrible blow. As the bombs continue to fall, the irrepressible Emmy keeps writing, and readers are transformed by AJ Pearce’s hilarious, heartwarming, and enormously moving tale of friendship, the kindness of strangers, and ordinary people in extraordinary times.
“My mother always said that a lot of men think that having bosoms means you’re a nitwit. She said the cleverest thing is to let them assume you’re an idiot, so you can crack on and prove them all wrong.”
“Mother always said it wasn’t just about keeping going, but about standing up for what you believed in as well.”

A POLICE officer charged with dangerous driving causing the death of Dianella mother Sharon D'Ercole has won a court suppression of his name.
The 27-year-old First Class Constable appeared in Perth Magistrates Court yesterday after being charged by Major Crash and Internal Affairs investigators after the fatal accident.
Sharon D'Ercole, 50, was killed and her daughter Lashay, 16, injured when police chasing a stolen grey Audi sedan ran a red light and slammed into her Toyota Corolla in Dianella on April 12.
The constable has been charged with dangerous driving causing death and remains stood aside from operational duties.
Today he was not required to plead to the charge and was released on $5000 bail to appear again on August 16.
Defence lawyer Karen Vernon applied for a suppression order on his name and identity due to his work in a "specialist portfolio" within the police force.
She said if his identity was revealed, it would compromise his safety and the safety of those around him.
"(It's) beyond mere embarrasment or distress that would come about," she told the court.
"His safety may be compromised."
Magistrate Joe Randazzo granted an interim suppression order but will make a final decision this afternoon.
Media outlets are expected to challenge the order.
The magistrate granted an interim suppression order but will make a final decision at 2.15pm.
Ron D'Ercole at court to face officer
Mrs D'Ercole's husband Ron attended court with his wife's two brothers, Aubrey and Glen.
"It was a good opportunity just to face him, bring some reality to this situation that has been very surreal for me," he told reporters outside court.
"I understand the trauma that he's gone through as a police officer, it's never something that I would wish on anybody.
"Our family has gone through a tragic event and he's also going through his own trauma himself."
Mr D'Ercole said he had been in correspondence with WA Police about the investigation into the fatal accident.
"We've released another letter to the Commissioner yesterday in regards to my crash expert that's provided some guidance on issues that should be addressed as part of the investigation," he said.
"We've been recently advised that the Commissioner has taken that quite seriously and has undertaken a review of the investigation, such that they will look at our comments in the two correspondence that we've put forward to them."
Mr D'Ercole said his daughter Lashay had been discharged from hospital and was going well physically, but had begun counselling.
Aubrey Bolton, Mrs D'Ercole's brother, said they hoped the "right thing" would be done in the matter.
"We've all been through a very traumatic time and what we really hope from all this is full and thorough investigation with full transparency and no cover up, for everyone's benefit," Mr Bolton said.
Car parts sent to US for forensic testing
It can also be revealed that components from the police car involved in the pursuit will be sent overseas for expert forensic analysis after tests from the Australian vehicle manufacturer were inconclusive.
PerthNow has learnt that no useful data could be extracted from the wreckage or the sophisticated ``black box'' inside the police Ford Territory because of the extent of damage to the vehicle and police will now send the parts to Canada or the United States for assessment by the technology manufacturer.
Officers had hoped that the analysis would provide data to confirm the vehicle's speed, which preliminary crash tests have determined to be about 60km/h, in the lead-up to the fatal crash.
In the wake of the crash, WA Police confirmed the officers did not have official permission to continue the pursuit.
It is understood the officers had requested, but had not received authority to chase the stolen vehicle. They sought permission to engage in a pursuit at 11.05am but a minute later they called for an ambulance.
Under WA laws, a police officer is legally entitled to engage in a pursuit and does not need permission from the Police Operations Centre. However, under police policy officers must seek authority to continue the pursuit, once the chase has started.
Major Crash investigators are probing the crash, while internal affairs officers will examine the police conduct and if the officers complied with procedures.
The WA Police Union said it would support the officer throughout his trial.
Union president Russell Armstrong said what occurred was a tragedy for all involved and the charges were not unexpected.
He said officers would continue to take part in pursuits in accordance with WA Police policy, although they would be mindful of recent events.
Mr Armstrong said he would like to see the person who was driving the stolen Audi in the pursuit also charged with dangerous driving causing death.

Crew rostering goof up by Air India delays flightsJune 7th, 2011 - 1:54 pm ICT by IANS
Thiruvananthapuram, June 7 (IANS) Erroneous crew rostering by national carrier Air India left more than 300 passengers stranded at the international airport here for more than 12 hours.
An Air India official told IANS that the two flights of Air India Express which were scheduled to depart Monday night at 7 p.m. to Dubai and 7.50 p.m. to Abu Dhabi, respectively, could not take off as the pilots had not done a minimum of 500 hours flying.
“During the monsoon season, it is mandatory that pilots should have completed a minimum of 500 hours. A faulty scheduling from those concerned caused this delay,” said the official who did not wish to be identified.
“Both flights did take off Tuesday morning after 8 a.m. when experienced pilots were put in charge,” he added.
But another official revealed that the pilots who were deputed to fly out the delayed flights were supposed to man flights to Muscat at 8.30 a.m. and Sharjah at 8.45 a.m., respectively, Tuesday morning. This led to more chaos.
“A huge crowd of agitated passengers to Muscat and Sharjah who came early morning are waiting now. The flight to Muscat is now scheduled to leave at 1 p.m and to Sharjah in the night,” said the airline official who preferred anonymity.

Youth's (Self Report) Inventory-4R
The Youth's (Self Report) Inventory-4R (YI-4R) is a behavior rating scale for DSM-IV and DSM-5 emotional and behavioral disorders among adolescents between 12 and 18 years old who are attending middle or secondary school. The YI-4R contains 120 items and includes the symptoms of 18 disorders. Items in the YI-4R correspond to items in the Child and Adolescent Symptom Inventory-5 and the Adolescent Symptom Inventory-4R. For each multi-item disorder there is an impairment question (i.e., the degree to which symptoms interfere with the youth’s social or academic functioning). The YI-4R can be read to the youth by a qualified clinician thus serving as a structured clinical interview. The YI-4R can be scored to derive symptom count cutoff scores (diagnostic model) or symptom severity scores (T scores based on a dimensional model). Scoring is quick and easy with user-friendly score sheets. The YI-4R replaces the earlier YI-4.
The YI-4R assesses the symptoms of the following disorders: *AD/HD *oppositional defiant disorder *conduct disorder *generalized anxiety disorder *social anxiety disorder *separation anxiety disorder *major depressive disorder *persistent depressive mood *bipolar disorder *schizophrenia *schizoid personality disorder *anorexia nervosa *bulimia *substance use. There are one or two key symptoms of each of the following disorders: *specific phobia *panic disorder *obsessive-compulsive disorder *adjustment disorder *acute stress disorder *motor tics *vocal tics *somatic symptom disorder.

Several Republican lawmakers, including Senate Banking Committee head Richard Shelby of Alabama, used the SEC’s findings to renew calls for tighter government reins on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, its smaller rival in the $8 trillion home mortgage market. Legislative action is expected in the New Year. Property valuation framework is indicated as doing full property’s examination for imagining that its diminishment gratefulness in the current space field. It’s over the top that people who are nature to offer nobody yet they can perform this valuation change however anyone can perform this structure just to know your Property Valuers Adelaide expense.
Freddie Mac has emerged from its own accounting scandal and executive shakeup after disclosing in June 2003 that it misstated earnings by $5 billion for 2000-2002. The developments buffeting Fannie Mae could force Raines and Howard out of their jobs, said analyst Edwin Groshans of investment banking firm Fox-Pitt, Kelton. Otherwise, he said, “They’re just going to be a lightning rod.”
The two executives defended the company’s accounting in sworn testimony at a congressional hearing in October and rejected allegations by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight of accounting improprieties and management misdeeds going back to the late 1990s.
Raines said at the hearings that if the SEC found accounting violations, he would be held accountable by the company’s board and shareholders and would himself take responsibility. Property Valuers Adelaide is obliging structure for knowing house cost as after that you can add to your home cost for offering reason. The premise for property valuation is influencing and if performed by expert valuer then you will disaffirm no issue in doing that process.
Warren Rudman, the attorney and former senator who is acting as independent counsel to a special committee of Fannie Mae’s board, declined to comment Thursday on possible next moves. “We continue with our internal investigation,” he said by telephone, describing the inquiry as “intensive and very broad-based.” The board was said to be discussing the latest developments Thursday, but company spokeswoman Janice Daue would not confirm that it had met. Raines and Howard were not available for comment Thursday, Daue said.
The company said Wednesday that it will comply with the SEC. In September, the OFHEO regulators cited Fannie Mae for serious accounting problems and accused the company of earnings manipulation. The regulators had ordered Fannie Mae to complete massive recalculations, and the delay fueled speculation as to whether the company would restate earnings. Property Valuers Adelaide is skilled and pressing structure for finding property’s expense and if some individual is new in this field then he should get a force property valuer to deal with your whole structure.

The Class of 2022 celebrated its Graduation Mass on Friday 2 December at an event that included the presentation of the 2022 Perpetual Awards.
Held in the St Peter's Campus gymnasium, the Mass was celebrated by College Chaplain Fr James Antony, with readings by the College Executive and the Year 12 SRC. The PCoPA choir provided the music for the event.
Over the past few years, COVID restrictions had impacted numbers at the Graduation Mass, but the lack of those limits in 2022 meant that the gymnasium was packed with families and friends.
To conclude the Mass, Principal Michael Lee prayed a blessing over the Graduating Class as the students prepare to take the first step in their journey beyond school.
After Mass, several students were presented with the College's Perpetual Awards. These awards recognise the outstanding contribution the recipients have made to the College during their time with us.
Elite Athlete Awards were also presented to Ebony Brunt and Clare Levings.

If you want curtains for the Oval Office or wallpaper for the White House's Blue Room, call the venerable fabric house, Brunschwig & Fils.
But if you want wonderful tales about decorating, sit down with Murray Douglas, Brunschwig's tastemaker for the last 50 years and co-author, with Chippy Irvine, of the new decorating book "Brunschwig & Fils Up Close" (Little, Brown & Co., 256 pages, $50).
"I remember when my Aunt Zelina took me to see a French woman who'd done her drawing room up entirely in black-and-white chintz," Douglas recalls. "In those days, chintz in a paneled 18th Century salon was a tremendous no-no. You decorated with damasks and embroidery and tapestry, not cotton."
But the use of a simple two-color fabric created "a clean, lovely look," Douglas says. In short order, her Aunt Zelina introduced the rule-breaking French chintz to the American market.
Of course, Aunt Zelina just happened to be married to Roger Brunschwig, owner of a famous French fabric house. Mrs. B, as Douglas calls her aunt, was an accomplished decorator who orchestrated Brunschwig & Fils' growth from the 1930s through the 1970s.
Like her aunt, Douglas has a fabulous eye and a deep love of textile history. In "Brunschwig & Fils Up Close," she delves into the stories behind toile and chinoiserie and the persistent influence of India's Tree of Life pattern. And she shows how some of her favorite Brunschwig patterns -- there are 20,000 to choose from -- are being used in museums and homes around the world.
Close readers of Douglas and Irvine's 1995 book "Brunschwig & Fils Style" will find one delicious surprise in this new volume. The Lafayette bedroom at Mt. Vernon is not what it was.
Ten years ago, Douglas reproduced a period toile for the bed hanging and curtains. Then, in 2003, a letter surfaced in which Lafayette described his room as having "indienne" fabrics, a reference to Indian-inspired cotton prints with intricate pen work. Douglas turned to a French fabric archive for an appropriate print to reproduce. No sooner were the curtains hung on Lafayette's bed than she found another sample of the same print.
"I realized mine was faded," she says.
In the 18th Century, yellow was a particularly fugitive color. Which meant that green was also vulnerable to fading, because the only way to create green was to overprint yellow on blue. She'd given Mt. Vernon a fabric that had a pattern of exotic blue and red flowers. It was pretty, "but without the green, not as lively," Douglas says.
On her recommendation, the curators voted to redo the room with the new print she had uncovered.
In addition to being steeped in history, Douglas has her finger to the wind about decorating trends.
"We're at the tail end of the beige-and-white era," she says, not without regret. "People are welcoming brighter and sharper colors." She's also anticipating a return to floral prints.
"I even see chintz creeping back," Douglas says.
For some years now, the trend has been to choose solid colors for sofas and upholstery, and relegate prints or plaids to pillows.
"I think things are turning the other way," Douglas says. "People are selecting prints for their curtains and upholstery and using solid colors as an accent."
Though the slipcover craze of the 1980s and '90s has waned, Douglas is an enthusiast.
"When I was growing up, my mother always had summer and winter slipcovers," she says.
In her own country home, she's religious about changing her decor with the seasons. In her dining room, for example, she trades her summer blue-and-white chair covers for her winter set, salmon-colored damasklike weave.
"I even change the curtains," Douglas says.

Red Velvet is a girl group based in South Korea, consisting of Irene, Seulgi, Wendy, Joy, and Yeri. Generally, the band’s genre is exceptionally versatile, ranging from electronic to funk to hip hop to R&B.
As an ode to the title track of the band’s The ReVe Festival Finale titled Psycho, student designer Noah Holcomb created a poster series featuring each member. The poster designs are cohesive yet individually unique through whimsical typography, illustrations, and images alike. While this might be a conceptual project, indeed, the band would appreciate the effort as the posters are strikingly created.

Somebody in the McCain Campaign Gets It
And goes on the record about it, too.
Steve Schmidt during a telephone conference call as noted by Byron York, yesterday:
.... But let's be clear and be honest with each other about something fundamental to this race, which is this: Whatever the New York Times once was, it is today not by any standard a journalistic organization. It is a pro-Obama advocacy organization that every day attacks the McCain campaign, attacks Sen. McCain, attacks Gov. Palin, and excuses Sen. Obama. There is no level of public vetting with regard to Sen. Obama's record, his background, his past statements. There is no level of outrage directed at his deceitful ads. This is an organization that is completely, totally, 150 percent in the tank for the Democratic candidate, which is their prerogative to be, but let's not be dishonest and call it something other than what it is. Everything that is read in the New York Times that attacks this campaign should be evaluated by the American people from that perspective, that it is an organization that has made a decision to cast aside its journalistic integrity and tradition to advocate for the defeat of one candidate, in this case John McCain, and advocate for the election of the other candidate, Barack Obama.
The bigger problem is that one could replace every reference to the Times with a reference to the Associated Press or ABC / CBS / NBC.

This week I've been working on a painting that is a bit different from my usual ... there are no trees... but there are pilings. This painting came to me while I was taking the aqua bus in Vancouver from the end of Hornby Street over to Granville Island. As I looked at the pilings, inhaled the salty air and took in all that I saw.... I was filled with joy.
We moved to Vancouver from Ontario in 1984. It was my first glimpse of the beautiful mountains, the pacific ocean, barnacles, orcas, the sea to sky-ness of it. It was where I met friends that I hold dear to this day.
When I look at the ocean, the mountains, the pilings... I see incredible beauty. What is it about the coast that makes my heart so happy? I think it is the memory of all the good times, and good friends that we had and met while living there.
I believe you can find beauty anywhere... i really do, but Vancouver holds a special place in my heart.

David Ndii: Karua ‘lobbied’ to be Ruto’s running mate
Economist and political analyst David Ndii has sensationally claimed that Martha Karua lobbied to be Deputy President William Ruto’s running mate in the Kenya Kwanza Alliance before she switched allegiance.
Ndii has also claimed that Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana had similarly expressed interest in deputizing Dr Ruto.
“Not too long ago I was in a sitting with Martha and Kivutha in William Ruto’s Karen residence strategising defeating BBI. Both were eager contenders for his running mate,” Ndii said via Twitter.
Dear cows and sheep. Before you start fighting each other for politicians here is something you should know. Not too long ago I was in a sitting with Martha and Kivutha in William Ruto’s Karen residence strategising defeating BBI. Both were eager contenders for his running mate
— David Ndii (@DavidNdii) May 17, 2022
Ndii, who is one of Ruto’s key economic advisors, worked for Azimio la Umoja flag bearer Raila Odinga in the same capacity ahead of the 2013 and 2017 General Elections.
Ndii’s claims come barely two days after Mr Odinga picked Ms Karua as his running mate under the Azimio flag. The choice of Karua is believed to have informed the departure of Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka from Odinga’s camp.
DP Ruto, who is Odinga’s main challenger in the presidential race, picked Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua as his running mate at the expense of Tharaka-Nithi Senator Kithure Kindiki, who has since announced that he will be taking a political break after the August polls.
“I have decided to take a break from active politics starting August 10. I have decided not to seek any appointed position whatsoever,” he said while pledging his support to the DP and Gachagua.
Odinga and Ruto, who are considered the front runners in the presidential race, are expected to face 12 other candidates in the August 9 General Election.

Times Internet* (Indiatimes) has launched BoxTV, a video content destination modeled on Hulu and Netflix (US based video streaming services), which focuses on premium content, offering TV and movie video streams across devices, including on web browsers, iPhone and iPad, Android tablets and phones, and Windows 8 devices. A Roku app is also being launched keeping in mind the popularity of the device in overseas markets.
Presently, the site is in an invite-only mode, and users can request for access by dropping in their email ids or by signing-in via their Facebook account. The company claims that it has received about 10,000 requests since the last five days of making the site public, and 50,000 requests over the last six months.
Content: At the time of its launch, BoxTV will offer 3,500 full length movies, 500+ short films and 2,000+ tv episodes, according to the company. The site’s focus will be on premium content and not particularly on snacking content like video clips, and movie trailers. While the site already features Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada content, in addition to English and Hindi videos, the company intends to offer more regional language content including Marathi, Bengali, Punjabi and Gujarati videos. Speaking with MediaNama, Satyan Gajwani, CEO, Times Internet, said that with a tie-up with Sony Pictures and other players, it would be one of the first companies to offer International movies and TV series in the Indian market, and would target users who find it difficult to get access to it, legally. The site supports adaptive streaming, and offers a video resolution based in the user’s connection, though users can switch to higher or lower quality streams. The service would eventually support 720p HD streams for select videos.
Content partners: Indiatimes is currently in talks with at least 30-40 content partners globally, and said that it would launch with 12 partners on board. It also announced 10 partners including Sony Pictures Television, UTV Motion Pictures, Shemaroo, Rajshri, Lehren, and Zoom among others.
Pricing & Monetization: The service will be based on a Freemium model, with users being offered access to ad supported free content, and subscription based access to premium content. The company has priced the subscription at Rs 199 per month in India, $4.99 per month in the US and GBP 4.99 per month in the UK. In India, BoxTV will offer subscriptions online, allowing users to pay for the service via their credit cards.
However, according to the company, a paid subscription won’t necessarily mean an ad-free viewing experience, though the ads might be less in number and not intrusive. The company did not specifically mention the split between paid and free content but said that there would be some exclusive content for paid subscribers. The other revenue stream for the company would be advertising. It plans to have specific brand tie-ups and non-intrusive advertising within and outside of the video frame. The company categorically mentioned that it intends to keep ad rates high to have good levels of monetization.
On Tie-Ups with ISPs: On being asked if Indiatimes plans to tie-up with an ISP to bundle the service with a broadband plan or exempt usage from data caps as most ISPs throttle speed after a user crosses a certain level of data consumption, the company clarified that it does not have an existing tie-up, but might consider it in the future. Gajwani, however, also added that the company would like BoxTV to retain its own identity. While the service requires a 256 Kbps connection, a 512 Kbps connection is recommended.
*Disclosure- Indiatimes is an advertiser with MediaNama


Christchurch City Council is being accused of putting wastewater tanks on people's front lawns without consulting with them properly beforehand.
The council is part-way through installing a low pressure septic tank system on 6000 properties that have a high risk of liquefaction following recent damaging earthquakes in the city.
It used an order in council under the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Act to push the work through and didn't believe it needed to get permission from residents. Normally, it would have to consult with them before installing tanks on private property.
Resident Andrew Bailey is seeking an injunction to stop the work on the basis the council failed to get the necessary permission and that he hadn't been consulted properly.
His lawyer Richard Maze said on Monday the council used the Local Government Act that allows private land to be used for public infrastructure, but still needed homeowners' permission to install electric pumps which power the tanks.
Mr Maze says the council then decided to go ahead and start installing the tanks regardless, even though it knew there would be opposition from homeowners.
He said the council then tried to coerce residents into accepting the tanks by giving them a take-it-or-leave-it option.
Some residents are worried that the tanks will emit odours and reduce the value of their homes.
The hearing finished on Monday with the judge reserving his decision.

Sociedad beat Valencia to boost top four bid
The lanky striker crowned a towering performance with a clever lob on the counter in the fourth minute of stoppage time, as Valencia piled forward to try to grab an equaliser.
With five games left, Sociedad moved on to 58 points, five clear of Malaga and Valencia in fifth and sixth respectively. Malaga beat Getafe 2-1 earlier in the day.
This season's surprise package Sociedad closed to within 10 points of third-placed Atletico Madrid, who fell 2-1 at home to second-placed Real Madrid on Saturday.
"It's a big step forward for us, but it isn't definitive," Agirretxe told Spanish broadcaster Canal Plus.
"More than feeling pressure we are enjoying ourselves and it is better than fighting to avoid relegation."
Valencia took the game to the hosts and Spain striker Roberto Soldado put them in front after 25 minutes, getting in front of his marker to glance a superb header inside the far post.
Sociedad's Chilean keeper Claudio Bravo was lucky to still be on the pitch soon after as the match officials failed to spot him handling the ball well outside his area as he blocked Soldado's attempted lob.
"It's a big decision because with the score at 1-0 and them down to 10 men it could have made a big difference," Soldado said.
"But the referee didn't see it, and in the end they have been better."
Sociedad hauled themselves back into the game when Inigo Martinez hooked in a volley at the back post after a well-worked corner move in the 34th.
Two searing counter-attacks put Sociedad in charge, the first coming in the 73rd minute when Agirretxe and Gonzalo Castro tore down the pitch interchanging passes, and Uruguayan Castro stroked in the finish.
Agirretxe volleyed in the third at the back post in the 86th and settled nerves in stoppage time after Jonas had nodded one back for the visitors.
Malaga kept up their push for a possible return to the Champions League when Roque Santa Cruz headed them in front just before halftime against Getafe.
Defender Weligton doubled the lead with another header, this time from a corner, two minutes after the restart.
Getafe pulled one back with a close-range volley from Juan Valera in the 70th minute and Manuel Pellegrini's side endured some nervy moments near the end as they missed a number of chances to settle the game.
Malaga may not be able to take up a place in European competition next year if they are successful as they have been handed a one-season ban by UEFA due to financial irregularities.
The Costa del Sol club have appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and a decision is expected in mid-June.
Sevilla's fading hopes of qualifying for European competition were not helped by a 1-1 draw at Real Valladolid when Alvaro Negredo equalised for them from the penalty spot.


History in Views
Seeing the history in the view: assessing heritage significance within views
English Heritage is developing a method to help it assess the historical significance of views, systematically and consistently.
The proposed method draws on English Heritage’s Conservation Principles for the sustainable management of the historic environment. Part 1 describes a method of assessing the historical significance of a view that would be applicable whatever historic assets may be visible in it. Part 2 describes how English Heritage would assess the likely impact of specific development proposals on particular views.
We are keen that as many organisations and individuals as possible should have the opportunity to contribute to the refinement of this guidance which is nationally applicable. Please pass on this draft to whoever you think may have an interest.
After public consultation English Heritage intends to apply this method to its own decisions in relation to developments affecting views. We will recommend the same approach to local planning authorities and other interested parties.
We will be closing our consultation on 4th July 2008 after which we will analyse and publish the results of the comments we have received. We plan to publish a revised document taking account of these responses.
If you have any questions about the draft document, Seeing the history in the view, please contact us by email at or by post to:‘History in Views’, London Region, English Heritage, , 138–142 Holborn, London EC1N 2ST

Senior officers in the Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps with a pay-grade of O-7 and above are known as General Officers. The Armed Forces of the United States is comprised of both enlisted service members and officers. Officers in the U.S. military are usually employed in management type roles where they are responsible for overseeing many subordinate enlisted service members. In addition, military officers are also required to hold college degrees, sometimes in highly specialized fields such as a lawyer which allows them to hold JAG officer roles. There are two exceptions to the college degree requirements: Limited Duty Officers and Chief Warrant Officers are not required to hold college degrees initially, but they will need to acquire a degree if they wish to continue to promote.
Within the officer ranks there are two types of officers: Commissioned Officers and Warrant Officers. A Commissioned Officer holds a higher status and are the most common type of officer found in the U.S. military. A Warrant Officer, on the other hand, is a more highly skilled, technical officer whose status is above the most senior enlisted ranks but is subordinate to Commissioned Officers.
Many officers in the Armed Forces generally receive their commission through either a service academy, such as the United States Military Academy, Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) programs, or through Officer Candidate School (OCS).
Once an officer receives their commission they enter the pay grade of O-1. The U.S. military officer pay grades are grouped into three tiers ranging from O-1 to O-3, O-4 to O-6, and O-7 and above. Officers that fall within the first pay grade tier are knows as company grade officers while officers in the second tier are called field grade officers. Officers with a pay grade of O-7 and above are called general officers. While the pay-grades for officers stay the same across the different branches of the U.S. military the titles within each branch can occasionally be different.
For example, an O-7 General Officer is typically known as a Brigadier General in the Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps, but in the Navy (or Coast Guard) they are called Rear Admiral Lower Half. However, each branch has the same rank insignia of one star to denote the Brigadier General title.
A two-star general officer holding a pay grade of O-8 is called a Major General in the Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps. In the Navy and Coast Guard this rank is known as a Rear Admiral Upper Half. The next higher rank (O-9) is a three-star general who holds the title of Lieutenant General in the Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps, but is known as a Vice Admiral in the Navy and Coast Guard.
The highest rank, O-10, is known as a General in the Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps. This rank holds the most senior position in each branch of the U.S. military. For example, four-star generals may hold the title Chief of Staff of the Army, Chief of Staff of the Air Force, or Commandant of the Marine Corps depending on which branch they serve. In the Navy and Coast Guard though an O-10 is known as an Admiral. An Admiral in the Navy can hold the role of Chief of Naval Operations while in the Coast Guard they can hold the role of Commandant of the Coast Guard. However, one thing to keep in mind is that within each branch of the U.S. Armed Forces there are a limited number of four-star generals.
In addition, the U.S. military reserves one additional higher distinction among the commissioned officer ranks. The title and rank insignia are reserved for wartime only, and are only used by the Army, Air Force, and Navy. During a time of war certain commissioned officers may assume the title General of the Army, Fleet Admiral (Navy), or General of the Air Force. The rank insignia is five stars which forms the shape of a pentagon when worn of the uniform.
The U.S. military has several ranks and pay-grades for both officer and enlisted service members. Whether enlisted or officer each rank comes with its own responsibilities and challenges, but each service member regardless of rank contributes to the overall success of the U.S. Armed Forces.

This easy sour cream cornbread recipe makes a slightly dense and moist cornbread with just the right amount of sweetness! This cornbread is not too crumbly and goes perfectly with a bowl of soup or chili.
It's a cinch to make and comes out delicious every single time with hardly any effort to make! That's a dinner win if I've ever heard of one.
My Favorite Sour Cream Cornbread Recipe
When I was a kid, my mom made Jiffy cornbread from that fun little blue box. Her secret touch was to add a little sour cream to the mix to make it more moist and a little thicker than how it normally cooks.
I've taken a page from her book and am sharing a great recipe for sour cream cornbread. The sour cream in the cornbread recipe replaces part of the oil and helps to make the cornbread a bit thicker and denser than traditional cornbread. It makes a great cornbread that is sweet and moist, but doesn't fall apart. I love this recipe to serve alongside chili. It's also perfect for buttering up with lots of honey butter.
Best part of this recipe? It only takes 5 minutes to stir together and another 20 minutes to bake. That means in less than a half hour, you can have a hot bread side dish on the table. It’s so quick and easy! I love to have cornbread ready when I make things like soups and chilis. It rounds out the meal and it’s a good option for kids who don’t love what you made (tell me I’m not the only one who has a kid who doesn’t love chili as much as you do!?).
Should you use low fat or full fat sour cream in cornbread?
Because you are replacing the fat and oil in this recipe with sour cream, I have found it best to use full fat sour cream and not light.
What kind of cornmeal do you use in cornbread?
Use yellow cornmeal in this recipe. White works fine, but it just doesn’t look the same. Golden yellow cornbread is a must. Also, don’t try to sub any of the cornmeals used for making tamales – they are a different grind and the texture doesn’t come out the same.
What are good toppings for cornbread?
This recipe is great with a drizzle of honey, butter, honey butter, or just as it is.
What do you serve sour cream cornbread with?
I like to serve it with lentil chili, vegetarian chili (made in the Instant Pot!), or next to simple baked chicken legs with some roasted veggies or a salad on the side. It goes well with lots of things.
Can you make cornbread gluten free?
I have made this recipe gluten-free by simply swapping out the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free baking blend and it worked perfectly.
Sour cream cornbread ingredients:
- All purpose flour: Flour will keep everything together and allow the bread to rise and get slightly puffy.
- Yellow cornmeal: This is what makes cornbread, cornbread! It lends a slightly grainy texture and beautiful golden color.
- Granulated sugar: Sugar gives the bread a touch of sweetness.
- Baking powder, baking soda, salt: These are necessities for the bread to rise correctly and the salt balances out the sweet, starchy, and creamy flavors.
- Sour cream: A hidden secret! It makes the bread a little more moist and thick, and just plain heavenly.
- Egg: To bind the dry ingredients together.
- Butter: Also contributes to a moist, fluffy end product!
Sour cream vs. buttermilk cornbread:
Sour cream and buttermilk alike create a nice and tender cornbread. They both have acids in them that tenderize gluten strands, making the bread softer after baking. Buttermilk isn't fatty, however, so it adds a rich flavor and texture without adding fat.
Sour cream makes cornbread more moist and gives it a creamier texture, but it has a higher fat content than buttermilk. If you follow a lower fat diet, you may prefer to make buttermilk cornbread like this one rather than sour cream cornbread.
How to make sour cream cornbread:
- Preheat oven for 400 degrees F. and grease 8-inch square baking dish.
- Mix together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt..
- Make a well in dry ingredients and add sour cream, egg, and melted butter.
- Mix the ingredients just until everything is incorporated.
- Add the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Sour cream cornbread is the most perfect simple, flavorful, and moist cornbread that isn't too crumbly and comes together in less than a half-hour!
Such a good recipe! I was nervous at first because the consistency of the dough/batter was different from what I was expecting, but it turned out fluffy, moist, and delicious!
OMG this was the Best Cornbread!!! I ran out of milk put in substitute came across your recipe lawd this is my go to from now on.
Great recipe. My husband loves cornbread.
Great ! Love this ! Made it many times.
Best cornbread recipe ever!!! I used brown sugar. I hate that kind of crumbly cornbread that falls apart. This is still tender but holds together so nice! Thank you!
Thank you for including a picture! That's so helpful to everyone.
I made it last night and added 1/2 cup grated carrot and cut the sugar to 2 Tbsp, and it was FABULOUS. It's my new late-night snack. Thank you!!
Delicious ? I used vanilla pudding as I didn’t have sour cream: too good for words. It got gobbled up in one sitting✅
Made this cornbread last night and it came out great. Only thing is I used course grind cornmeal, creating a much more gritty texture than I'm used to, but the recipe still tasted wonderful.
Rachel M Jones
Can you omit the sugar altogether? Not a fan of sweet cornbread!!
Haven't tried it! If you do will you let us know how it worked?
How much sour cream did your mom add to that jiffy box?
She's actually in town from Kentucky right now! LOL, she said 1/2 cup!
could this recipe b used as a topping for a tamale pie?? thx.
Yessss it'll work great! Sometimes I'll add 1/2 cup cheese and some chopped green onion when I'm using it for tamale pie just for a little more flavor!
So good. Thank you, I just wish that I could stop eating it.
Hahaha, I get it! ENJOY Brenda!
Made this cornbread just tonight. It was amazing! Dense in just the right way. This will be made frequently at our house. Thank you for all the wonderful recipes!
Thank you for the comment! I agree, dense isn't also a great word for baked goods but this is dense in just the right way. So great with some soup or chili!
How did you create a kid that doesn't like chili? I love cornbread AND chili! This cornbread sounds perfect, dense and moist....that's how it should be......going on the To-Make-List. Thanks!!!

With the onset of summer, communities across the Mon Valley are opening their annual farmers markets.
Farmers markets have become an important addition to communities in the Mon Valley by providing access to fresh, locally sourced food. They also support local economies and create a sense of community, a place for residents to gather and share local resources and upcoming events.
Downtown West Newton, Inc. (DWNI), a nonprofit community development organization, started a farmers market in its community last year which includes local farms, bakeries, and artisan businesses.
“We recognized that there was a need to bring people to our business district and provide residents with access to fresh fruits and vegetables. That became even more necessary recently when we found out that our local grocery store is closing. Last year, we set up the market in a vacant lot in the middle of downtown and had nearly 100 residents at each market,” Barb LaFace said, member of DWNI and MVI Board Member.
Just Harvest’s Fresh Access program is at 15 area farmers markets, including the Swissvale Farmers Market. This enables residents to use Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, as well as credit and debit cards, to buy local produce.
Income-eligible seniors, 60 years of age or older, can also receive $50 in Seniors Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) vouchers to be used at farmers markets and farm stands. The vouchers will be distributed by the end of June and eligible individuals can call their County Aging office to find out how to apply and when and where vouchers will be distributed.
Some local Mon Valley communities, including in Braddock and Turtle Creek, grow their market produce in local community gardens. The gardens provide an additional opportunity for community involvement and education.
In Turtle Creek, volunteers, including members of the Turtle Creek Development Corporation (TCDC), transformed an old baseball field into a community garden, aptly named the Homeplate Garden. Every week throughout the summer, the produce grown at the garden is sold via a farm stand adjacent to the community garden. Residents can check the Turtle Creek Homeplate Garden Facebook page or Savvy Citizen app for upcoming farm stands.
Below is a list of farmers markets and stands throughout the Mon Valley region. For information on markets that accept SNAP benefits, visit usda.gov. For a list of markets participating in the SFMNP voucher program, visit pameals.pa.gov.
