Tesla Model S And Toyota Prius Recognized By Edmunds.com

Sorry there are no photos!
Some cars offer great value while others excel in particular features such as cargo space or in-cabin technology. But which cars are quite simply THE BEST?
Edmunds.com offers its subjective opinion for the top dog in each vehicle segment with “ The 17 Best Cars You Can Buy” story.
This list, comprised of 17 categories, includes one electric/alternative technology category and one hybrid category; the Tesla Model S and the Toyota Prius won these.
“This list answers a question that we get all the time: If you could pick any car in a given segment, and money wasn’t an issue, what car would you choose?” says Edmunds.com Automotive Editor James Riswick. “Sure, many of the cars on this list cost a pretty penny, but guess what? It usually costs more to get the best.”
A total of 14 brands appear on the list, led by Toyota with three vehicles and Honda with two.
The full story can be found here. The following is what Edmunds.com’s editors wrote for both the electric/alternative technology category and the hybrid category:
Best Electric/Alternative Fuel Vehicle: 2013 Tesla Model S
Gee, should we pick a compact hatchback with a compromised trunk that can go about 80 miles on a charge and from zero to 60 mph in 10 seconds? Or, should we perhaps choose a grand, sexy luxury sedan with two trunks that can go 265 miles on a charge and from zero to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds? Decisions, decisions…
The latter, in case you’re unaware, is the Tesla Model S. Besides the generous range and truly incredible acceleration, the Model S is most impressive for feeling like a real car from a real auto manufacturer instead of a low-volume special haphazardly slapped together using bits and pieces from other carmakers. That doesn’t mean the Tesla is normal, however. An enormous central touchscreen controls almost everything, and for the most part does a good job of it. The trunk under the hatchback (versus the one up front where the engine would be) can be equipped with a pair of rear-facing jump seats. Perhaps most abnormal of all is the way it drives. The only thing that gets up to speed this quietly, effortlessly and rapidly is a magnetically launched roller coaster, while the Tesla’s incredibly wide stance and low center of gravity allow it to take corners with similar skill. It’s an astonishing vehicle that lives up to the hype and is without question the best electric car on the planet.
Best Hybrid: 2013 Toyota Prius
There are hybrids that are better to drive and/or have more richly appointed cabins, but the most important attribute of a gasoline-electric car is fuel economy, and no traditional hybrid achieves a better EPA mpg combined figure than the Toyota Prius. The subcompact Prius C matches it, but then it can’t match the original’s generous passenger and cargo space. Actually, no other hybrid car can, as competitors like the Ford C-Max and Honda Civic hybrids are just conventional vehicles filled with and consequently compromised by batteries. Not only is the Prius’ backseat big enough to comfortably accommodate two adults, but its hatchback trunk can fit their luggage, too. No wonder the Prius is becoming so popular with cab companies.

PCB announces domestic schedule for 2019-20 season
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has unveiled an ambitious and competitive 2019-20 domestic cricket structure, which revolves around the creation of a more quality and intensity focused system to significantly improve first-class cricket and create sustainable success at international level.
Lahore: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has unveiled an ambitious and competitive 2019-20 domestic cricket structure, which revolves around the creation of a more quality and intensity focused system to significantly improve first-class cricket and create sustainable success at international level.
The new structure will give importance to club cricket, provide the best cricketing environment to young talented cricketers, reward top performers, create employment opportunities to former cricketers and qualified coaches, and bridge the gap between domestic and international cricket.
The structure has come into existence following the Government of Pakistan’s August 9 approval of the constitutional amendments, which were notified to the PCB on August 19, meaning 16 regions have now been absorbed into the newly formed associations.
The new domestic structure will be based on a three-tiered bottom up approach; providing a clear pathway for the aspiring cricketers to graduate to the top level, bringing in more young and talented cricketers in the system.
The three-layered structure will function as follows:
In the first tier, the 90 city cricket associations will be responsible for organising club and school cricket in their respective jurisdictions and subsequently forming their city cricket teams.
In the second tier, the city cricket teams will participate in intra-city competitions within the jurisdiction of their cricket associations.
In the third tier, the best performing players from the intra-city competitions will form the six respective cricket association side that will participate in the PCB-organised tournaments
Pakistan’s cricketing season 2019-20 will commence from September 14 with the first round of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, the country’s premier first-class tournament.
A total number of 31 matches – including the final – will be played, with every team playing 10 matches, home and away, on double round-robin basis.
With the commencement of the World Test Championship, red ball cricket remains a primary focus. The context behind the new scheduling will provide players with an opportunity to stake their claim and to equip themselves for the pressures of the Test Championship.
The first-class and non-first-class tournaments will run simultaneously, providing the six associations depth to choose the best XI for their first class matches. The same will be the case for the List ‘A’ and T20 cricket.
Reflecting on the 2019-20 domestic season, PCB Chairman Ehsan Mani, “We are delighted to announce that we have achieved the target of reforming our domestic structure. One of the key priorities of this PCB administration is to enhance the quality of cricket, which will in due course also begin to reflect in our on-field performances at the international level.
“We want to develop consistency in our performances, across all formats, at the apex level so these reforms were pertinent," he added.
PCB Chief Executive Wasim Khan, on the other hand, said, “The launch of the new domestic structure perfectly aligns with the World Test Championship, which commenced with the Ashes. Pakistan's opening series is in October and we aspire to feature in the final which will be held at the end of the two-year cycle in 2021.
“The PCB strongly believes in primacy of Test cricket, which is the traditional format of the game and in which we have slipped in our performances. We firmly believe this structure will not only help the PCB raise a team that can play in the 2021 final but also an opportunity to the talented and skilled cricketers to represent Pakistan in the purist format of the game.
“Our scheduling of white ball cricket will also give us every chance of being successful at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cups 2020 and 2021, and will support our preparation for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023," he signed off.
The full schedule domestic schedule for 2019-20 season is as follows :
Quaid-e-Azam Trophy (first-class, four-day matches, final will be a five-day fixture): September 14 to October 8; October 28 to December 13.
National U19 tournament (three-day and one-day tournament): October 1 to November 12
Quaid-e-Azam Trophy (2nd XI, three-day matches, final will be a four-day fixture): September 14 to October 10; October 28 to November 29.
National T20 Cup (both first and second XIs will play simultaneously): October 13 to 24. First XIs will play in Faisalabad, second XIs will play in Karachi
Pakistan Cup One-Day Tournament (both first and second XIs will play simultaneously): March 29 to April 24, 2020.

Orientation at Flinders University for 2021 was always going to be a bit different from other years. Flinders has used this opportunity to ask students what they want and together we’ve come up with a brilliant expanded program.
Because there’s always a lot of information for new students to take in, we’ve put together an orientation program that spans four weeks – O’Week, Connect Week, Skills Week and Wellbeing Week.
This year there’ll be lots of online and on campus opportunities for local, rural, remote, interstate and offshore students to meet each other and easily access the ‘getting started’ information they need when they need it.
For the first time ever we’re offering a University-wide buddy program called the O’Guide Program. New students will join a group led by an O’Guide (current student) who will show them the ropes, provide tips, introduce them to others and answer their questions. The O’Guide Program will be offered both on campus and online.
There’ll no shortage of on-campus things to do (socially distanced, of course). There will be four fair days, live music, stalls, entertainment, games, food, a scavenger hunt, and the Flinders Tavern will be hosting a comedy show, a quiz night and a bingo night. Students will also have the opportunity to join a campus club, meet new people, and learn about the services available to them.
All of this is wrapped up in a visual theme that is all about opening back up and re-engaging with each other and with our wide-open nature filled campus. “It’s all about looking ahead and knowing that the skies really are the limits,” says Flinders O’Week creative adviser, Business and Law student Claudia Bradley.
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor Professor Clare Pollock is confident that the University, its staff and students will enjoy a strong year ahead. “Flinders University’s 2021 domestic undergraduate enrolments are strong – as of today up 12% compared to the same time last year – and we are delighted to be able to welcome more students than ever to our campuses,” she says
“We have a great range of new courses that have attracted several hundred students, along with our many popular established offerings – and have noticed a strong emphasis on health related courses this year.
We continue to see good demand from international students wanting to study at Flinders, and we and they are greatly looking forward to a time when they can come back to one of our Australian campuses.
In the meantime, we are supporting new international students to commence their course online, and for those who returned to their home countries last year we’re supporting them to continue their studies online. Nevertheless we understand that these students are keen to have an Australian educational experience here in Australia.
That’s why we’re working with the federal and state government to be ready to welcome our students back when it is safe to do so. And as Business SA observes, international students make the single biggest contribution to our state’s export economy in education, real estate, hospitality, retail and tourism, but they bring other valuable benefits too, including lasting global relationships, cultural diversity and vibrancy.
What’s new and exciting
A new, state-of-the-art Biodiversity building to support teaching and research programs. The building provides opportunities for increased research collaboration, improved accessibility and will provide leading edge facilities to support our Animal Behaviour course and better understand animals and assess their welfare, survival and evolution.
This year we’ll also complete our cultural ceremonial and event space to host larger scale Welcome to Country and smoking ceremonies, provide a culturally significant meeting place for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and staff at Bedford Park, and to support art, performances, teaching and recreation activities.
FUMA – the Flinders University Museum of Art – is harnessing its extraordinary collection of works to inform our teaching and research. Object Based Learning will be a feature across a range of courses, with a special focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander topics in Education and the Creative Arts, as well as the development of a series of films with the Poche Centre for Indigenous Health for cross-cultural learning. FUMA’s stand-out exhibition of the year, Sovereign sisters: domestic work co-curated with Dr Ali Gumillya Baker, will shed light on collective narratives around First Nation women’s labour histories and act as a powerful teaching tool for critical dialogue in a number of the University’s courses.
In 2021, Flinders’ new Wine Sensory Room – which includes wine tasting benches for up to 30 students, teaching facilities and temperature-controlled wine storage cabinets – will provide students the opportunity to obtain valuable knowledge and perspective of wine styles, diversity and quality from wine industry professionals – with sessions ranging from identifying different wines of the world, to identifying how wine judges and media score wines for judging and reviewing.
Such a rounded knowledge is essential in the modern wine, not only to identify wine quality and provenance but to understand where every product sits in the global market – and it fills an important educational role in what has been a blind spot in Australian wine industry teaching.

Fowler v. MumfordAnnotate this Case
102 A.2d 535 (1954)
FOWLER et al. v. MUMFORD.
Superior Court of Delaware, Sussex.
January 22, 1954.
*536 Daniel J. Layton, Georgetown, for plaintiffs.
Everett F. Warrington, Georgetown, and Robert W. Tunnell, of Tunnell & Tunnell, Georgetown, for defendant.
This is an action for breach of a written contract under the provisions of which, according to the averments of the complaint, the defendant entered into an unqualified agreement to sell and convey certain parcels of land to the plaintiffs. Pursuant to Civil Rule 12(f), the plaintiffs move to strike defenses identified in the answer as First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth, on the ground that those defenses are insufficient.
The First Defense asserts that the complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. This is always a sufficient defense. See Appendix to Civil Rules, Form 20; Civil Rules 12(b) and 12(h). If it is pressed by the defendant at or before trial, or if the plaintiffs bring it on for decision, this defense may be found to be without basis. It may not, however, be stricken as an insufficient defense nor should its validity be determined upon a motion to strike.
By his Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Defenses, the defendant asserts, inter alia, that the contract was made without consideration and that the written contract is not the whole agreement between the parties; that, at the time of the execution of the contract, the plaintiffs knew that the defendant did not own the land and that the execution and performance of the contract were conditioned upon acquisition of title by the defendant alone; that title to the land has vested in the defendant and his wife and it has never vested in the defendant alone and that, therefore, the condition to the execution and performance of the contract has not occurred; that as an inducement to the defendant, the plaintiffs agreed to assist the defendant in acquiring title and that the plaintiffs violated this agreement; that the sole consideration to flow to the defendant for the execution of the contract was the plaintiffs' promise to refrain from competing with the defendant for the purchase of the lands; that the plaintiffs violated this agreement and that there was a resultant failure of consideration.
The plaintiffs rely upon two principal grounds in support of their motion to strike these defenses.
First, the plaintiffs contend that the parol evidence rule would bar the proof of practically all of the facts thus alleged and that, therefore, these defenses should be stricken as being insufficient. This is not the office of a motion to strike an insufficient defense under Civil Rule 12(f). A defense is insufficient and subject to being *537 stricken under this Rule where it is not a valid defense or where it is not germane to the issues in the case or where it is not responsive to the claim to which it is interposed. See 5 Cyc. of Fed.Proc. (3d Ed.) § 15.376. But the rules of evidence are not to be applied at this stage of the case. If a defense is sufficient as stated, it will withstand a motion to strike because the facts alleged will be assumed to be admitted for the purpose of the motion. 1 Barron and Holtzoff, Fed.Pract. & Proc., § 369. The plaintiffs do not contend that certain of the facts alleged would not constitute a defense if proved by admissible evidence. They say merely that the defendant will not be able to prove those facts because rules of evidence will prohibit such proof. That question must await the rulings of the trial judge. It is agreed by the authorities that a motion to strike an answer under Civil Rule 12(f) will be denied if the answer presents a bona fide issue of fact which should be heard on the merits. See 2 Moore's Fed.Pract. (2d Ed.) p. 2320; 5 Cyc. of Fed.Proc. (3d Ed.) & 15.377; 1 Barron and Holtzoff, Fed.Pract. & Proc., § 369.
Secondly, the plaintiffs contend that, in this action for breach of a contract to sell lands, it is no defense to say that the defendant did not own the property at the time of the execution of the contract or that title vested in the defendant and his wife rather than in the defendant alone. They cite Stabler v. Ramsay, Del., 89 A.2d 544 and they argue that the allegations of title in another are not sufficient defenses and should be stricken. I am of the opinion that the question thus presented should not be decided at this stage of the case because the defendant seems to be asserting that performance of the contract has been expressly conditioned upon acquisition of title by the defendant alone. Thus, the application of the parol evidence rule may be again involved and an issue of fact may again arise. I think, therefore, that the determination of this question must also await the rulings of the trial judge. Compare Synchem, Inc. v. American Hyalsol Corp., D.C. Del.1949, 82 F. Supp. 685.
There remains for disposition the plaintiffs' motion to strike the Seventh Defense by which the defendant asserts:"That at the time of the making of the contract set forth in the plaintiffs' complaint herein plaintiffs threatened to run the purchase price of the certain premises referred to in the complaint herein up to such a figure as to make it financially impossible for defendant to purchase same; that solely in consequence of such threat and in fear and apprehension thereof, the defendant did execute the said written agreement."
By this defense, the defendant seeks to assert a species of duress frequently referred to as the modern doctrine of "business compulsion". See 17 Am.Jur., "Duress and Undue Influence", § 7; Ramp Building Corp. v. Northwest Building Co., 164 Wash. 603, 4 P.2d 507, 79 A.L.R. 655 et seq. Common-law duress was limited to loss of life, limb or liberty or threat thereof. In many jurisdictions, however, the concept of duress has been recently and gradually enlarged by courts of law to include any case wherein a party to a contract has been deprived of the free exercise of his will and judgment by any wrongful threat or act of the other party. It is said that this expansion of the scope of duress in courts of law has taken place "under the influence of increasing liberality of legal thought aided by the example offered by courts of equity in its treatment of undue influence", but that, in some jurisdictions, "the tendency to preserve hard and fast lines persists in actions at law." 5 Williston on Contracts (Rev.Ed.) § 1603; Restatement of Contracts, §§ 492, 493. I find no case announcing the law in Delaware on the subject.
The motion to strike the Seventh Defense thus presents two substantial questions: (1) whether the modern concept of the defense of duress in actions at law, including the doctrine of business compulsion, is to be adopted in this State; and (2) if so, whether the allegations of the Seventh Defense are sufficient to raise the defense of duress in this case.
*538 As to both questions, my conclusion is that the Seventh Defense is not so clearly insufficient as to justify striking it under Civil Rule 12(f). As has been observed, the law in this State on the subject is not settled. Motions to strike are not favored for the determination of disputed and substantial questions of law. Such motions should be limited in scope and operation and may be denied where there is no showing of prejudice to the moving party if the attacked allegations are left in the pleadings. Ordinarily, in passing upon motions to strike, courts decline to determine disputed and substantial questions of law or the legal consequences of pleading. See Paramount Textile Machinery Co. v. Burlington Mills Corp., D.C.Del.1950, 90 F. Supp. 66; Maschmeijer v. Ingram, D.C. S.D.N.Y.1951, 97 F. Supp. 639. If an answer fairly presents, as a bona fide defense, a substantial question of law which should be heard and determined on the merits, the defense is not "insufficient" under Civil Rule 12(f) and should not be stricken. See 2 Moore's Fed.Pract. (2d Ed.) p. 2320; 1 Barron and Holtzoff, Fed.Pract. and Proc., p. 755; 5 Cyc. of Fed.Proc. (3d Ed.) p. 381.
In the absence of any showing of prejudice to the plaintiffs, it is held that the important and substantial issue of law, as to the scope of the defense of duress, should not be decided upon the pleadings but should be heard and determined on the merits. The question should await a later stage when it may be determined in the light of all of the facts and circumstances of the case.
The plaintiffs assume that the doctrine of business necessity or compulsion is available to the defendant. They contend, however, that the allegations of the Seventh Defense are insufficient for the invocation of this doctrine because the plaintiffs had a legal right to "run the price" up and, therefore, assuming the truth of the allegations, there was no wrongful threat or threat of wrongful act such as must be the premise for duress. It is true that under the modern view, acts or threats cannot constitute duress unless they are wrongful; but an act may be wrongful though lawful. Acts that are wrongful in a moral sense, though not criminal or tortious or in violation of contractual duty, may also constitute duress under the doctrine sought to be invoked by the defendant. See Restatement of Contracts, § 492g.
A defense is not insufficient under Civil Rule 12(f) if it may raise a relevant issue which would constitute a valid defense under any reasonably conceivable set of circumstances susceptible of proof. Compare Klein v. Sunbeam Corp., Del., 94 A.2d 385, 391. Hence, it may not be held that the Seventh Defense should be stricken because there is no averment of any unlawful act or threat. Whether the alleged threat was wrongful, though lawful, would depend upon all of the circumstances of the case. While Civil Rule 8(c) requires the defendant to plead duress affirmatively, he is not required to plead it with particularity such as is required by Civil Rule 9(b) for the pleading of fraud and negligence. I am of the opinion that, under our notice pleading, the Seventh Defense is a defense sufficient to withstand a motion to strike under Civil Rule 12(f).
The motion to strike will be denied.NOTES
 Civil Rule 12(f), Del.C.Ann., provides as follows:
"Motion to Strike. Upon motion made by a party before responding to a pleading or, if no responsive pleading is permitted by these rules, upon motion made by a party within 20 days after the service of the pleading upon him or upon the court's own initiative at any time, the court may order stricken from any pleading any insufficient defense or any redundant, immaterial, impertinent, or scandalous matter."

A #42m 'superschool' to rival the best in the country could soon be built on Teesside.
Yarm School today released details of ambitious plans to a relocate to a 120-acre site outside of the town, providing pupils with a state-of-the-art seat of learning.
Most of the funding for the massive project will come from the sale of the current senior and prep school sites.
And by moving out of Yarm town centre to a field at Town End Farm on the A67, the development could ease some of the town's traffic headaches.
The school has dropped previous plans to move to Green Lane on the edge of Yarm.
Headmaster David Dunn said there are a number of advantages to the new site opposite Judges restaurant - it is on a less busy road, is closer to the A19 and will take much of the school traffic out of Yarm altogether.
Mr Dunn believes the "massive, cutting edge building" costing #40-#42m will be one of the best new schools built in the country.
"I am very excited about the plans for the new school - it will offer first rate facilities for use by pupils and the wider community of Yarm," he said.
"We should know by the end of the year the identity of the developers. At that stage we would refine the designs with a view to submitting a planning application next year."
If the planning application is approved, building will take 18 months to two years.
The new school would boast a "fantastic array" of sporting facilities and purpose built sports complex, state-of-the-art facilities in the school, a huge auditorium and a theatre.
Fee-paying Yarm School was only founded in 1978 but has quickly grown to become one of the region's most successful independent schools.
"We are fully aware that not everyone is in favour of the relocation. However the benefits to the town as a whole and the region will be many-fold," added Mr Dunn.
"Parents, pupils, and the local community will be regularly updated on progress and it is our aim to invite people to come to look at the designs when they are ready."
A development brief is currently being agreed with Stockton Council.

NASA Warning on Asteroid to Hit Earth Coincides with Stephen Hawking Theory that Humans Have 1000 Years Left? [VIDEO]
While the renowned theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking boldly states that "This is the dangerous time of our planet", NASA also warned the public that the earth is totally unprepared for a surprise asteroid strike. Is it possible that Hawking is referring to a possible asteroid hit? Read more details here!
Scientists Simulate an Asteroid Hit to the Earth's Ocean
NASA Scientist warns the public last Monday that the earth is unprepared for any surprised asteroid or comet attack and there's nothing much that we can do for it as of the moment instead of wishing for an aquatic impact. For this reason, scientists from Los Alamos National Laboratory come up with a simulation through computer software's visualization of an asteroid landing on the bodies of water according to BGR.
In the simulation video, a big chunk situated in the nearby land has been wiped away in the event that the asteroid would hit 12 miles from the coastline which indicates a horrifying scene than the brunt of a tidal wave. However, if the asteroid will hit the water in the middle, a mega-tsunami is impossible to happen.
Another possible effect of an asteroid to hit the earth's ocean is the greenhouse effect which can happen if the asteroid that strikes is steaming hot. The rock has the possibility to send massive tons of water to the atmosphere and if the water vapor reaches the stratosphere and stays there for years, climate change can be felt across the globe.
Stephen Hawking's Theory
On the other hand, the renowned theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking said that the earth is heading towards a dangerous time. His theory relates to the extinction of man in the near 1000 years as technology started to take over humankind, The Independent reported.
Hawking, in his series of examples has revealed how technology replaced human labors from the complicated tasks down to the mundane ones. The physicist foresees a future where robots will drive trucks and taxis, machines will do the hamburgers, drones deliver groceries and mail and supermarket cashiers will be replaced by sensors.

St Mary's boys get kids back on swing
A TEAM of mud-spattered Year 12s from Toowoomba have helped kids get back on the playground after floods damaged school equipment in Laidley.
Staff and students of St Mary's College jumped at the chance to lend a hand after they learned of the plight of their namesake school in the Lockyer Valley, St Mary's Primary.
The 20-strong team, armed with pressure hoses and a lack of concern about getting dirty, visited the school last Friday.
"The primary school had been decimated by the recent floods and has been a hit a few times in recent years," school retreat and ministry co-ordinator Ryan Baines said.
"The boys moved about 20m of mulch so they could build a new playground, gernied all the play equipment and reconstructed garden beds.
"This is not the first time our boys have helped out there.
"They deserve big congratulations for all their effort."
Lending a hand
THE volunteering effort is part of a much larger social justice program run by St Mary's College. Students currently support:
- St Vincent de Paul activities
- Minni Vinnies
- Rosies Friends on the Street outreach
- Caritas Project Compassion
- Anzac and Remembrance Day appeals for returned serviceman
- Smith Family student-to-student Program
- Projects helping St Mary's College Old Boys in Sudan
- Pirikanta - program responding to flood recovery and other issues
- Money Men - student-run group raising funds for charities and other initiatives

My feature today is on two books Shadow Man and The Face of Death by Cody McFadyen.
For anything who likes suspense/thrillers will enjoy these books. While reading these books I can't belive that a man wrote them. You will understand when you read them as the way he writes the females characters and their personalites is just like a woman. I can't wait to see what Mr. McFadyen comes up with next.
Here's a little bit about the book.
Once, Special Agent Smoky Barrett hunted serial killers for the FBI. She was one of the best -- until a madman terrorized her family, killed her husband and daughter, and left her face scarred and her soul brutalized. Turning the tables on the killer, Smoky shot him dead–but her life was shattered forever.
Now Smoky dreams about picking up her weapon again. She dreams about placing the cold steel between her lips and pulling the trigger one last time. Because for a woman who’s lost everything, what is there left to lose?
She’s about to find out.
In all her years at the Bureau, Smoky has never encountered anyone like him -- a new and fascinating kind of monster, a twisted genius who defies profilers’ attempts to understand him. And he’s issued Smoky a direct challenge, coaxing her back from the brink with the only thing that could convince her to live.
The killer videotaped his latest crime -- an act of horror that left a child motherless -- then sent a message addressed to Agent Smoky Barrett. The message is enough to shock Smoky back to work, back to her FBI team. And that child awakens something in Smoky she thought was gone forever.
Suddenly the stakes are raised. The game has changed. For as this deranged monster embarks on an unspeakable spree of perversion and murder, Smoky is coming alive again -- and she’s about to face her greatest fears as a cop, a woman, a mother . . . and a merciless killer’s next victim.
This was my first book by Cody McFadyen. It is a winner! The plot lines were intense, the characters had depth as well as very believable. Shadow Man is somewhat gory but if you don't mind that gore like me than you will really like this book. Smokey could really stand her ground throughout the who story. Talk about women empowerment. Remember this is coming from a book about a serial killer that was written by a man! That is saying something wonderful about Mr. McFadyen's writing style. You will not be sorry you picked up this book but instead will be sorry when it ends.
I rate this book 5 stars!
“I want to talk to Smoky Barrett or I’ll kill myself.”
The girl is sixteen, at the scene of a grisly triple homicide, and has a gun to her head. She claims “The Stranger” killed her adoptive family, that he’s been following her all her life, killing everyone she ever loved, and that no one believes her.
No one has. Until now.
Special Agent Smoky Barrett is head of the violent crimes unit in Los Angeles, the part of the FBI reserved for tracking down the worst of the worst. Her team has been handpicked from among the nation’s elite law enforcement specialists and they are as obsessed and relentless as the psychos they hunt; they’ll have to be to deal with this case.
For another vicious double homicide reveals a killer embarked on a dark crusade of trauma and death: an “artist” who’s molding sixteen-year-old Sarah into the perfect victim -- and the ultimate weapon. But Smoky Barrett has another, more personal reason for catching The Stranger -- an adopted daughter and a new life that are worth protecting at any cost.
This time Smoky is going to have to put it all on the line. Because The Stranger is all too real, all too close, and all too relentless. And when he finally shows his face, if she’s not ready to confront her worst fear, Smoky won’t have time to do anything but die.
The Face of Death is the second book that features Smokey Barrett. I really enjoyed this book. The characters were great and they had wonderful dimensions, which is hard to find in books. Not to say Shadow Man wasn't good too but I have to say I liked The Face of Death a little more. I think the reason was because I had got to know Smokey and was rooting for her to come on top again. Plus the ending was a huge surprise! I love when the endings are not what I expected.
I rate this book 5 stars!

Selected as one of the best photography books of 2000 by the Village Voice, Peek is a rich sampling of the legendary archive of the sexual and erotic. Although case histories were the foundation of Alfred Kinseys famous studies, he and his researchers also collected related supplementary materials from his subjects books, diaries, drawings, and photographs. The Kinsey photo collection numbers 75,000, but only recently have the images emerged from the archives. Peek is the first book to showcase highlights of this extraordinary research. The 125 images are culled from anonymous snapshots, photo albums, photo-illustrated diaries, and 19th- and 20th-century erotica from Europe and Asia, as well as works by such luminaries as George Platt Lynes, Baron Wilhelm von Gloeden, and Joel-Peter Witkin. Accompanying essays by four scholars offer historical and cultural context.

Gerald Tims with Performance Cycles Oklahoma City owns this 1958 Ariel Leader motorcycle. We photographed it for a calendar he published in 2008. We took the bike down to the Oklahoma City Farmers Market for the photograph on a nice summer day. Our model was the lovely Sharis Fajardo from Puerto Rico. Lighting was fairly simple, just an SB-800 with an umbrella on a stand, plus natural light and of course the natural beauty of Sharis.

“Achieving success with cloud adoption remains an elusive challenge for many organizations. But why is that the case? After all, there are countless tools designed to facilitate the process of taking on-premises operations to the cloud. It is common to use these purpose-built tools for moving virtual images, automatically provisioning services, migrating data, right sizing deployments and optimizing cloud operations. But when it comes to application migration, this variety of infrastructure tools actually contributes to the problem.”

Find Stone or Tile Floor Installers in Patterson, Georgia
Give us a few details and we’ll match you with the right pro.
COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT STONE OR TILE FLOOR INSTALLATION
Would stone or tile floors be better for moisture-prone rooms?
Most stone and tile floors are not innately waterproof but can be made more water-resistant through various manufacturing techniques and sealants. Porcelain tiles will provide better water resistance compared to natural stone or ceramic because the clay has been fired at a higher temperature. Many tiles can also be coated before installation to make them less porous. However, the grout lines joining the tiles are vulnerable to water penetration unless adequately sealed.
While many natural stones are more porous and may soak up water if not properly sealed, others, like dense granites, can be less permeable. Sufficiently sealed natural stone floors can gain a good defense from water penetration, but the sealant will wear away over time and must be reapplied. Proper installation and regular maintenance is also essential for improving the water resistance of tile or stone flooring. Hire a contractor listed on Thumbtack to take care of your stone or tile installation in Patterson, Georgia to achieve the best waterproofing possible from your selected flooring material.
Which is better for my house, stone or tile floors?
Choosing between stone or tile flooring installation ultimately comes down to personal preferences, as each material has unique benefits that may better align with the aesthetic and performance you're trying to achieve. A few key considerations you may need to factor into your selection process include:
- Location - Consider the environment your stone or tile flooring will be subjected to before deciding between the two. Certain floors perform better in moisture-prone or heavy-traffic rooms than others.
- Style and Design - Evaluate the current aesthetic of your residence or the style you want to achieve. Natural stone brings a sophisticated and luxurious look, while tiles offer a larger range of colors and patterns.
- Durability and Maintenance - There are several different kinds of stone and tile used for flooring with many variations between the level of durability and maintenance required. You may have to balance the look you're trying to achieve and the suitable durability for your investment.
- Cost - Stone and tile flooring installation prices differ depending on specific material, quality, style, and difficulty.
- Resale Value - Both stone or tile installations could bring increased value to a home. Consider which option enhances the overall aesthetics and appeal to possible buyers in your region's real estate market.
An expert stone or tile flooring installer can help you understand the different benefits of each material and how it can perform in various spaces of your house. Contact one of the pros featured on Thumbtack in Patterson, Georgia and make confident decisions regarding your home improvement project.
Can I anticipate a lengthy installation process for stone and tile floors?
The time required to put stone or tile flooring in the typical room rests on a few factors, such as the size of the room, the type of material being installed, and the complexity of the pattern. The process should typically take anywhere from a few days to a week for an average-sized room with less strenuous installation requirements. This generalized timeframe factors in aspects like surface preparation, adhesive curing, tile or stone placement, and grouting.
A qualified stone or tile flooring installation contractor will perform the tasks much faster than you’re likely to on your own. You can also be confident of getting the style and longevity you wanted when relying on a pro for the job. Browse, compare, and hire installers around Patterson, Georgia who can deliver your project according to your schedule, all from the powerful Thumbtack app.
How much maintenance is required with stone or tile flooring?
Tile floors are typically made to be less of a hassle to maintain and clean compared to most natural stones. Hotter manufacturing processes and glazing are applied to tiles to make them less porous, while stone is more absorbent. Glazing will simplify your cleaning routine, as messes can be effortlessly wiped away with less danger of long-term staining. Tile floors often demand less elbow grease to maintain their look, making them a good choice for busy households or high-traffic rooms.
Keeping natural stone looking as it did when new often calls for more strenuous care, including frequent sealing to protect against moisture. Scrubbing and mopping right after spills is required to avert blemishes. If you're committed to getting the elegant look of stone for your floors, be ready to invest more work for its preservation.
Sealing is a common protection method for several varieties of natural stone, such as granite, marble, limestone, travertine, or slate. A skilled stone or tile flooring installation contractor in Patterson, Georgia featured on Thumbtack will handle this step to preserve your investment.
Vet and Enlist Skilled Stone or Tile Flooring Installation Contractors in Patterson, Georgia Using Thumbtack
Stone or tile flooring installation brings a classic and sophisticated look to your residence and unparalleled longevity. Obtaining ideal performance and durability rests mainly on the skill of the installation. You should also think about the performance of each material for a particular room when picking between stone or tile, especially aspects like maintenance requirements and water resistance. A pro can help you understand the choices available and perform every aspect of the installation.
Porcelain and ceramic tiles are popular because they are easier to clean, making them suitable for various spaces, including kitchens and bathrooms. Their water-resistant properties offer defense from moisture-related damage. On the other hand, while more of an initial investment, natural stone can provide a luxurious touch and possibly raise your home's value. Keep in mind that stone floors may require more care, specifically in wetter areas, necessitating adequate sealing to guard against damage and staining.
While stone is generally a more significant upfront investment compared to tile, the long-term benefits, including increased home value, may justify the cost. The lifespan of both materials can deliver attractive value for your investment, with tile normally lasting fifty to seventy-five years on average and stone able to last a century or longer.
Turning to a professional for your stone or tile flooring installation is crucial to maximizing their benefits. Contractors have skill and experience, ensuring your installation is carried out efficiently and quickly to lessen disruptions to your home. Explore profiles of dependable contractors throughout Patterson, Georgia on Thumbtack and confidently employ one who can deliver the floors of your dreams.

This is an upgrade of EGHE St Mary's on the Isles of Scilly plus a separate scenery file for the islands overall.
This is my favourite airport in the whole wide world. And indeed place. It also has the best public toilet in the world on the main harbour with a wonderfully low height to align your plumbing and refreshing breeze to flow up it. If you haven't been here in reality then you jolly well should go.
At the airport the runways have been erased and replaced with ones with a gradient closer to reality. This version has the entire site's elevations restored that were so rudely removed by Asobo by the UK update.
All ground textures have been changed. Most other buildings are replaced or fill holes where there weren't any before. A few parking spots have been added on the grass opposite the terminal and one at the hangars opposite the main apron.
The surroundings have been spruced up with road surfaces and foliage. Some of Dave's 3d people are lurking in the terminal - https://flightsim.to/file/5452/dave-s-3d-people-library
Rocks have been embedded in the runway approaches to give you the willies. It's no good approaching when it's only that blotchy velvet stuff. I want you to feel naked terror.
It has a new taxi system but the AI can't cope with it, just as it couldn't with the original. Parking space 12 is inside a hangar.
The scenery file adds boats and quays, the odd other feature such as the day marks and a faintly cheesy Longships lighthouse off Land's End which is landable in a helicopter.
The main thing the whole area could use is rocks embedded and trillions of them but that's a very painstaking process so I ain't guaranteeing a completion date. It's also possible that an entire area filled with them will go pop in mad. I'll have to experiment.
There is an alternate download of the airport without ground textures if you get any crashes as that's the usual cause.
This mod does a very nice job improving the shorelines - https://flightsim.to/file/26228/isles-of-scilly-shorelines
If you haven't seen it, to go in partnership with this is Tresco Heliport - https://flightsim.to/file/598/eght-tresco-isles-of-scilly-uk but that's very STOL only.
Bishop Rock lighthouse is included with the scenery file, but there's a much better version here that you should be using - https://flightsim.to/file/15955/bishop-rock-lighthouse-helipad
If you end up seeing two versions then there's a separate download of this scenery file minus the crap Bishop Rock that you'll see when you hit the download button.
Adds a heliport to Round Island lighthouse - ICAO EG45 - to the scenery file since there's a pad there in real life.
Re adds Bishop Rock lighthouse, but only because a shockingly low number of people are downloading the far better standalone version. If you already have that it will still override this one.
Also added lighthouse beams to Longships lighthouse off Lands End and Round Island.
More outlying areas have had rocks added.
At the airport I've removed the trees from the airport area and fiddled with a few other details here and there.

Elizabeth May: Mr. Speaker, I am very indebted to the hon. member for Nanaimo—Cowichan, and to know that the official opposition, like the Green Party, feels compelled to vote against Bill C-9, even though it initiated with consultations, as she quite rightly pointed out, on two key points, narrow points, of lengths of terms and timing of elections. We have seen the bill morph, thanks only to paragraphs 3(1)(b) and (c), into something that shows a disrespect for bottom-up control, and a disrespect for section 35, the inherent rights of first nations.
As the official opposition attempted to do in committee, as I attempted to do earlier this morning at report stage, would the hon. member share with me any insight she has as to why, with such good intentions from the Atlantic Policy Congress of First Nations and the first nations chiefs of Manitoba, we could not just get the changes that the first nations themselves requested so that we could vote for it, instead of having this imposition of ministerial discretion on what should be inherently first nations self-government?
Jean Crowder: Mr. Speaker, it is puzzling. I believe that it just continues with the approach the current government has consistently taken with regard to first nations, which is lack of recognition around inherent rights, lack of movement on the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, continued lack of appropriate consultation. This has clearly been outlined by the Supreme Court. We have seen it in the first nations water bill. We saw it in the matrimonial real property bill. We are now seeing it in the elections bill that is before the House and we are seeing it in the first nations education act.
We could always remain eternally optimistic that during this comment period where first nations, schools, parents and organizations across this country have an opportunity to comment on the first nations education act, that the proposed piece of legislation that is before first nations would substantially change, based on that input, but that is not the track record of the government.
Once again, first nations have come to the table in good faith. The AMC, the APC, came to the table in good faith, yet they end up with a piece of legislation that at least the AMC cannot support.

Hotly tipped Mullally and Kiko Bun will be joining the line-up when Glynne appears at the Falkirk venue on Saturday, August 5.
Mullally’s music is described as packing a soulful punch, with his first three releases (Overdose, Troubled Love and Wonderful) amassing over six million streams on Spotify. He has also been championed as one to watch by BBC Radio One, MTV, SBTV and more.
A regular on the festival circuit, Kiko Bun has an uplifting sound based on reggae, soul and hip hop, with recent releases including Where I’m From, Sticky Situation and Can’t Hold Back.
Lauren Munro of LCC Live, the concert promoter for this show, said: “We are really excited to be welcoming both Mullally and Kiko Bun to Falkirk Football Stadium this summer to support Jess Glynne.
“Both artists are regulars at the UK summer festivals, know how to entertain and have bright futures ahead of them.”
Glynne announced back in December that she would perform at Falkirk Football Stadium this August.
Having first risen to prominence as a featured vocalist on Clean Bandit’s Grammy Award-winning single Rather Be, the artist has achieved great success.
Her debut album, I Cry When I Laugh, went straight in at number one in the top 10 in August 2015 and she’s the second ever British female solo artist to have five number one singles in the UK.
Her hits include: Take Me Home, Ain’t Got Far to Go and Don’t Be So Hard on Yourself.
Speaking about the upcoming show Glynne said: “Performing live to my fans is what I love to do. I always enjoy summer festivals so am looking forward to heading to Falkirk in August.
“We’ll have a great time and I hope lots of my Scottish fans can come and join me.”
Tickets are on sale and are available to purchase in person from Falkirk Football Club or from www.ticketline.co.uk or 0844 888 9991.


Insurance Giant AIG Subleases 12K SF to Personal Injury Law Firm
Law firm Elefterakis, Elefterakis & Panek has signed a 12,000-square-foot sublease at 80 Pine Street, Commercial Observer has learned.
The personal injury practice will occupy the entire 38th floor of the 40-story building between Pearl and Water Streets, which is leased to sublandlord American International Group by landlord Rudin Management Company. The transaction is for a term of five years, according to the subtenants’ broker Avison Young. The asking rent was not immediately clear.
EE&P is moving from its current location nearby at 111 John Street between Cliff and Pearl Streets.
“We evaluated a variety of locations Downtown, but in the end, 80 Pine Street offered everything EE&P was looking for—a well-located, professionally managed property and a space that was already built for their specific needs,” Avison Young’s Henry Fuentes, who represented the tenant in the transaction, said in prepared remarks.
AIG, which received a $182 billion-plus bailout from the U.S. government during the 2008 financial crisis, has 46,000 square feet of space in the 1-million-square-foot building, according to CoStar Group. Earlier this month, AIG hired a new chief executive officer after a $3.04 billion quarterly loss, as the The New York Times reported.
Jodi Pulice, Monica DiNunzio, Lauren Calandriello and Taylor Smith of JRT Realty Group brokered the deal for the AIG. The brokers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
