On Tuesday President Donald Trump will address a joint session of Congress on the ‘State of the Union’. On Friday the Chair of the Federal Reserve, Dr Janet Yellen, will address the Executives Club of Chicago on the state of the economy. Neither of these speeches will explain the state we are in.
President Trump will get closer than Dr Yellen, who will barely make an attempt, let alone any sense; but neither will go to the very core of our problem…governmental irresponsibility and malfeasance…from which stems our economic plight…from which stems the growing fault lines that are appearing in our societies.
At this point, permit me to digress…but not really...
After decades of living in towns and cities, I am blessed to live on the side of a small ‘mountain’ in the Welsh hills. My nearest neighbour is a sheep and cattle farmer, a pillar of the local community, and an all round good bloke. He is known as a ‘tidy’ farmer. I also know ‘tidy’ builders, ‘tidy’ shop owners and believe it or not, we even have two ‘tidy’, (and unpaid) community councillors - I am privileged to be married to one of them.
In this part of the world…if you do a good job, if you keep your agreements, if you think about the effects that your actions will have on others and if you put right your mistakes…you are ‘tidy’. If you deal honestly with other people, you are ‘tidy’. If you deal dishonestly with other people, then you will gain a reputation for being ‘as straight as a dog’s hind leg’. The point is this: there is always a reckoning, even for people who think that they are getting away with it.
What has this got to do with the price of fish? Simply this: the reason our economies are in such a mess is because they are run by ‘untidy’ people…
Our economies are largely governed, regulated and manipulated by people who are 'as straight as a dog’s hind leg’, and no more ‘tidy’ than your average ‘dodgy builder’. The havoc caused by these charlatans has been building for decades. It is a fruitless task to identify a single moment in time when it kicked off, particularly since we are discussing aspects of ‘human nature’ which are as old as humans…
But for my purpose here, I suggest that our current malaise began with the Vietnam war and LBJ’s ‘guns and butter’ policies in the sixties, accelerated when Nixon ‘temporarily’ suspended the link to gold in the early seventies, changed gear again with the arrival of the ‘Greenspan Put’ in the late eighties, and has gone into overdrive since the 2008 financial crisis - courtesy of the politically dishonest and economically illiterate policies of QE, ZIRP and NIRP. Along the way we also had the Clinton/Rubin/Summers suspension of Glass Steagall, deregulation of derivatives, and the Bush wars…none of which helped.
Where are we now? As I described in a recent piece called ‘It will end in a knockout and then there will be excuses’ (which drew on the excellent analysis done by Simon Black of Sovereign Man), the US is in the financial state described by the following ten points. This is the stuff that neither President Trump nor Dr Yellen will talk about this week. Why not? Because neither of them are 'tidy'.
1. In 2016 the US government spent $1 trillion more than it received in ‘income’…this is almost double the previous year’s deficit, and comes 8 years into a so-called ‘recovery’: a 12 month period in which there was no major war, no recession, no big new infrastructure spend, and no bank bailouts or other crises
2. The largest portion of the deficit was accounted for by Social Security, Medicare & interest payments on the debt. Note that interest rates were subdued and only a shade higher than their historical lows, due to the activities of the Federal Reserve
3. If the government had decided to ditch all of its other commitments to defence etc, and just funded Social Security, Medicare and interest…it would still have made a loss
4. Despite eating up the largest portions of the budget, Medicare is running out of money, Social Security is running out of money – let’s be clear - they are going bust
5. The Net current position of the government is this – it is in debt to the tune of $19.3 trillion
6. On top of this, the long-term projected costs on Medicare & Social Security, based on historical data & measurable demographic trends, accounts for a further liability of $46.7 trillion
7. If you include all the other stuff, all the stuff off-balance sheet…the total liabilities of the US government, in today’s money, is $95 trillion. That is $280,000 per man, woman and child in the United States
8. The biggest asset of the US government is the $1 trillion in student debt on its balance sheet. (Yes, that’s right, it counts as an asset, even though a huge chunk of it will never be paid back). This is slightly more than the $980 billion that the government ‘owns’ in the form of military equipment and Federal land
9. The Treasury Department failed the audit carried out by the Government Audit Office (GAO), as it frequently does. The GAO reported that they were unable to get their hands on all the accurate data, because for example, the Pentagon doesn’t possess an accurate inventory. (The Pentagon is also notorious for money ‘disappearing’ – see ‘Donald Rumsfeld’ for more details)
10. If the Treasury were a private organisation, failing its audit in such an egregious manner, would result in dire consequences for the organisation and individuals responsible. However, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act does not apply to the government itself, which means that nobody will go to jail. There is no incentive to change
So here we are…pondering whether or not massive infrastructure spending will bring Lazarus back from the dead…wondering whether or not a group of institutionalised academics will raise the Fed Funds Rate from 0.75 to a whole percentage point…hoping that whatever they do doesn’t disturb an avalanche of leverage and inflated asset values…so we can kick the can down the road and repeat the same charade again in June…madness.
There will be no ‘normalisation’ from here, and any politician, economist or central banker who tells you otherwise is either too stupid to dress themself, too dishonest to be left unsupervised, or both.
In a nutshell…despite decades of political lies, academic hubris, and media denial…there will be a reckoning. You can suspend honesty but you cannot suspend ‘truth’…and the truth is that there is no free lunch…there are always consequences. The choice we will have, when the time comes, is whether or not to fall for the excuses that will be rolled out…’no-one could’ve predicted this’…’it was Trump’…’it was prior austerity’…’it was secular stagnation’…’it was lack of aggregate demand’…’we should have done more’…’if people had listened to me (Krugman)’…’I mentioned the risks in a paper I wrote last October (Summers)’...blah blah blah…
Will we allow the politicians, the bankers, and the academics who have presided over this mess to issue ‘get out of jail free cards’, take a nice fat pension, and then slide off to a gated community somewhere in the Hamptons…or will we insist on transparency and accountability? Personally I think that ‘Slick’ Willy Clinton, Alan Greenspan, and Larry Summers et al would all look good in an orange boiler suit...but then again...I'm just a tidy old grump...
Have a good week.

Local elections yet another victory for Georgian democracy - Georgian premier
TBILISI. Oct 21 (Interfax) - Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili has congratulated voters for having supported the ruling party after the findings were revealed of an exit poll conducted during today's local government elections.
"I want to thank everyone for their trust. We are well aware that this is a big responsibility. And I want to reassure [you] that each one of us will justify this trust," Kvirikashvili said during a special briefing on Saturday evening.
He thanked international and local observers for their work.
"These elections are yet another victory for Georgian democracy," the prime minister said.
The Central Election Commission is to publish the election results over the next few hours, but the ruling party Georgian Dream is already celebrating its candidates' victories.

It just isn’t fair that there are a thousand things to do in Paris, and so few hours in the day.
My month-long adventure backpacking through Europe starts in the City of Lights, and with under a week to experience all the best things in Paris, there was no time to waste.
Soon after meeting up with my childhood friends Tiffany and May, we mapped out our itinerary for the next few days.
The improvisational nature of the trip became an underlying theme that, in retrospect, were foolish to think we could avoid.
As the old saying goes:
“Man plans and God laughs.”
Even so, traveling abroad with these young women that I’ve known so long was a growing, deepening, and fulfilling experience.
Indeed I remain profoundly changed by it – renewed even!
For now, let’s dive into our first day out for Paris sightseeing.
The Best Things To Do In Paris Come First
Our day begins with a meandering walk through the city to the famous Notre-Dame church (sometimes pronounced in America like “Noter Dame”) from our Airbnb in Île-de-France, a centrally-located and lively little neighborhood square.
(If you’re planning your own trip and you have all the classic Paris attractions on your to-do list, seriously consider this area as a home base – it worked out pretty well for us.)
Designed in French Gothic style, the cathedral of Notre-Dame is one of the top places to visit in Paris.
If you’ve ever seen the Disney film Hunchback of Notre-Dame, you’ll instantly recognize it’s circular rose windows distinctive to the architectural period.
Tremendous, intricate, and still a functioning church despite the hordes of tourists wandering around inside and outside the building, this is a must-see destination rich in equal parts history and beauty.
I learned a couple interesting facts about Notre-Dame while I was there:
What is Notre-Dame known for?
It sits at the Eastern side of the Île de la Cité in the middle of the Seine River, and was actually built in place of 2 older churches.
Notre-Dame Cathedral suffered damage and disrepair throughout history, and after the French Revolution it was rescued from possible destruction by Napoleon, who in 1804 crowned himself emperor there.
Additionally, the Notre-Dame monument is where Joan of Arc was beatified by Pope Pius X in 1909.
During World War II, the French feared that German soldiers would destroy the delicate stained glass recently installed, so it was removed and not reinstalled until after the war had passed.
The stained glass rose window feature is significant because it represents the largest glass window in the world dating back to the 13th century.
How old is Notre-Dame?
Erection of the cathedral was accomplished piece by piece over the span of 200 years; it was started in 1163 during the reign of King Louis VII and completed in 1345.
This makes the Catholic sanctuary over 800 years old!
Following some quiet appreciation of the magnitude of this holy superstructure, we made sure to get our Notre-Dame pictures in before scurrying off to our next destination, the Palais de Justice de Paris.
Palais de Justice
Why this government building was on our itinerary and why we had to wait in line for 20 minutes, I couldn’t tell you.
I mean, there was this cool golden gate outside, but we didn’t really need to go in for that:
But it was and we did, so we wandered around the somber courthouse until we got lost, and ‘sortied’ ourselves out to rest on the steps before lunch.
The Eiffel Tower
Last stop on our list for the day was catching the sunset at perhaps the most famous structures in France – and boy are we glad we bought our Eiffel Tower tickets ahead of time!
Of all the things to see in Paris, we were determined to make our memories with the Eiffel Tower a top priority.
It’s practically a right of passage for your first time in the city, like seeing the Statue of Liberty in New York.
The streets echoed with the voices of dozens peddlers all desperately pushing identical products: flimsy tower replicas and keychain keepsakes.
Some were even selling champagne and roses off the street, which is not a terrible idea, but it did kind of take away from the romantic atmosphere I’d imagined.
Here are some facts about the Eiffel Tower:
When was the Eiffel Tower built?
Construction of the Eiffel Tower began in 1887 and was completed in 1889.
Why was the Eiffel Tower built?
I always wondered this myself!
Apparently, the French wanted to celebrate 100 years passing since the storming of the Bastille, the beginning of the French Revolution, and they did so with the Exposition Universelle.
One of the grandest unveilings at the inception of the ‘world’s fair’ was – you guessed it – the Eiffel Tower.
They’d held an open competition where hundreds of French artists, architects, and designers submitted their proposals.
Interestingly, it’s appearance was so controversial at first that a petition protesting it’s construction gained traction with over 300 signatures.
Ultimately the fair commissioner chose Gustave Eiffel’s design anyway.
Who built the Eiffel Tower?
Althought Eiffel often gets full credit for the tower, an engineer he employed – Maurice Koechlin – played a large part in coming up with and fine-tuning the concept. (They also worked on the Statue of Liberty together!)
As the story goes, Eiffel first rejected his original plan for the tower and instructed Koechlin to add more decorative detailing.
Hundreds of laborers spent two years putting the now-iconic monument together, which stood nearly 1,000 feet high when it was first unveiled March 1889.
At the time, it broke the record for the tallest structure in the world – and it held this distinction until completion of the Chrysler Building in 1930.
Special thanks to May Luong & Tiffany Boola for the photos – and for being amazing women in general.

Trying to lose weight at ANY time of year is nothing short of frustrating.
But it’s extra challenging around the holidays given all the extra items on the typical to-do list, the extra get-togethers with family and friends, the extra eating, and all the celebrating between Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s.
Packed schedules, increased stress, little sleep, and an increased go-go-go daily grind all come together to stack the weight-loss deck against you.
It’s frustrating, but it doesn’t need to be.
Here are some of the most common mistakes that people make when they’re trying to lose weight for the holiday season. Avoid these and you’ll have an easier time shedding those pounds you wish to lose over the course of these super-busy three months.
1. Focusing Solely on the Scale
Rather than looking at all the different aspects which come into play when you start losing weight and shedding fat, many people are concerned with one thing only: the number on the scale.
While this is a great indication that you’re becoming lighter and losing weight, it’s definitely not the only way to measure success.
Take measurements of different parts of your body, such as your waist, thighs, hips and arms.
Look for changes in clothing size and in the way you feel too.
2. Not Eating Enough
Yes, this may seem counter-intuitive.
“To lose weight, I should be eating less, right?”
Well believe it or not, it’s possible to not lose weight because you’re not eating enough. People think that if they starve themselves and don’t allow themselves to eat proper meals, they’ll lose weight quickly.
This happens most commonly when people are trying to lose weight quickly for a special occasion or event. However, starving yourself will cause your body to cling on to the fat that it has already, since it believes it won’t be getting food for a long time and goes into “starvation mode.”
3. Unable to Manage Too Much Stress
You can become very stressed when trying to lose weight, and whether the stress is coming from your desperation to lose more weight or other factors in your life, it’s never a good thing. The added stress that comes with the holidays certainly doesn’t help!
When you’re stressed, your body produces stress hormones, which in turn, cause you to gain weight or hold on to any excess weight you already have. It’s also easy to go on “emotional eating binges” to help you feel better. That too can lead to packing on additional pounds.
A good strategy is to get into some stress-reduction activities before the holidays arrive (so that they are almost “habit” by the time the busy days roll around), and then to schedule those activities on your calendar like any other task you have to do.
4. Not Getting Enough Sleep
Getting good sleep can have a massive effect on how easily your body is able to lose weight.
People who sleep badly will released high levels of a hormone named cortisol, which is one of the leading hormones which make it difficult for the body to lose weight.
5. Overestimating the Amount of Calories Burned
You might feel like you’ve done a massive workout and you deserve a huge meal afterwards, but one of the main problems that people have is massively overestimating the amount of calories they have burned.
To get a more accurate result, buy a monitor that you can wear on your wrist or ankle. You’ll be able to track the calories you burn based on your individual fitness level, weight and height, as well as your heart rate.
There you have it. You will make great strides in achieving your weight loss goals by avoiding these five major mistakes on your journey to better overall health, not just during the Christmas holiday season, but also during the rest of the year as well.

By the summer of 1704 Louis XIV’s vast armies dominated Europe. France defeated every alliance formed against her and Louis was poised to extend his frontier to the Rhine and install a French prince on the throne of Spain.
Two men saved Europe from French military domination: the Duke of Marlborough and Prince Eugene of Savoy. Marlborough masterminded a brilliant campaign, working with Eugene to surprise the French invaders inside Germany. The rival armies clashed in August and the hitherto unbeaten French were utterly destroyed.
Blenheim was a major turning point in European history. Charles Spencer’s narrative is drawn from original sources and moves seamlessly from the deliberations of kings and princes to the frontline soldiers. This is the battle that creates the enduring reputation of the British redcoat and shatters the image of the ‘Sun King’ and his mighty army.

The Hidden Advantage of High Gas Prices? Fewer Wrecks.
It's no secret that in the U.S., gas prices are at an all-time high. Even accounting for inflation, they've hit levels almost unheard of in the past five decades, nearly 50% higher than last year. Experts predict they may continue to rise, possibly past the record gas prices of the 2008 recession.
This surge in fuel costs directly affects millions of Americans at the pump. Indirectly, greater transportation costs result in higher prices for all consumer goods.
This dramatic uptick in price has led to an unexpected turnaround: a downturn in the overall number of car accidents. Dive in to find out what is causing this rise in fuel prices, and how paying more for gas connects to fewer accidents.
Why Is the Cost of Gas Increasing?
The increased price of crude oil is the main contributor to the cost of gas spiking. The cost of this raw material made up 60% of the market price of a gallon of standard gasoline as of April, according to the Energy Information Administration. The high demand and low supply of crude oil has put a strain on American resources. Russia produces around 12% of the world's crude oil. Russia's war in Ukraine led to stiff sanctions by many western nations - including the U.S. - that include the sale of crude oil. The pandemic didn't help either. The supply of oil has not risen with its high demand post-COVID.
Apart from the strain on crude oil supply, gasoline producers have also increased the cost of refining to meet the needs of inflation. The EIA reports that refining costs, distribution marketing, and taxes account for 46.4% of the cost of regular-grade gasoline.
Why Higher Gas Prices Reduce Traffic Fatalities
According to a study published on Science Direct examining the relationship between retail gasoline prices and fatal crashes between 2007 and 2016, spikes in gas prices were shown to have an inverse correlation to total auto accidents. The higher the spike, the fewer the crashes, and vice-versa.
Higher gas prices lead to fewer motorists on the roads, as a substantial number of individuals prefer to use alternate means of transport to save money. The high prices also influenced people’s driving habits, particularly high-risk drivers - such as teenagers and young adults - who began driving slower and with greater caution to reserve gas.
Another study observed that for every 10 percent rise in gasoline prices, there was a 1.5 percent drop in car accidents. This figure remained consistent across races, ages, and genders, even when other influencing factors like alcohol consumption and seat belt use were considered.
Our own research (see graph below) shows a strong correlation between average gas cost and number of auto crashes, with those lines only blurring in 2022. Higher gas prices result in fewer car accidents. With fewer drivers on the road, there is not as much opportunity for fender benders, fatal wrecks or pile-ups.
Why Lower Gas Prices Increase the Risk of Accidents
On the flip side, when prices are low, people become less concerned with saving money on gas, leading to more drivers on the road. Individuals also tend to travel greater distances, increasing the likelihood of motor accidents.
Note: While these studies indicate gas price fluctuations can have an effect on reducing traffic accidents, the impact differed among various demographics. Traffic crashes among young drivers reduced almost immediately, but there was an intermediate change in older adult motorists.
Our personal injury lawyers have seen firsthand how the real victims of car accidents and gas price fluctuations are hardworking Americans. That is why we are dedicated to helping our clients understand the limitations of their cases while seeking justice.
Consider the Impact of Gasoline Prices
Car accidents can happen anywhere and at any time, regardless of the number of vehicles on the road. For this reason, you should always be aware of your surroundings and practice defensive driving. If you’ve suffered a car crash as a result of another motorist's negligence, call an attorney immediately.
No one anticipates the physical, mental, and financial repercussions of an accident, which is why we are here to help. Contact us at Wettermark Keith to discuss your case and gain an ally in the fight against big insurance companies.

In this article the main objective is to perform a search in an unknown area with multiple robots in order to determine the region with highest chemical gas concentration as well as to build the chemical gas concentration map. The searching and map building tasks are accomplished by using mobile robots equipped with smart transducers for gas sensing. Robots perform the search autonomously by using their own data and the information (position information and sensor readings) obtained from the other robots. Moreover, simultaneously the robots send their sensor readings of the chemical concentration and their position data to a remote computer (a base station), where the data is combined, interpolated, and filtered to form an real-time map of the chemical gas concentration in the environment. To achieve this task as a high-level path planning algorithm we use a decentralized and asynchronous version of the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm which also allows for time-varying neighborhood. ©2010 IEEE.

We are always looking for staff writers, designers and developers, if you love movies and are interested in working with 25thframe.co.uk in any capacity use the form on this page.
We had humble begginings at 25thframe.co.uk, it all started in 2004 by four guys who simply love movies.
What is the 25thFrame? Although a film can run at anything above 16 frames per second to give the illusion of motion it was eventually decided a cinema projector would run at 24 frames per second, when we named the website we thought we take you beyond the cinema so we take you to the 25th frame.
Our aim is to provide an informative website that is not driven by purely by advertising and doesnt have a large corporation trying to get your email address or data.
We looked at film websites in the early 21st centry and identified a gap for a movie site that was focused more on the movies themselves and what you think of them.
The inspiration came from sites like the original imdb.com (before Amazon bought them), boxofficemojo.com (also owned by Amazon), rottentomatoes.com and boxofficeguru.com, we wanted to give the movie fan a chance to enjoy rich content and contribute themselves, we are also obsesses with a movies box office figures.
15 years later and only 1 of the original 4 are still with the project full time (we have reamined friends and they still contribute), the website is still alive and well and we report on movie news and we do weekly reports on the UK, US and world box office performance.
Our real love though is knowing what you think, hearing your views and striking up debates about movies, good or bad!

Infosys Live Enterprise Application Management Platform (LEAP) is a cloud-enabled platform that delivers NextGen Application Management Services (AMS). It makes application management agile, intelligent, integrated and business outcome driven, enabling enterprises realize the live enterprise vision. It enables enterprises to sense the changing business needs and IT health, while applying artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics to process information, make decisions at zero latency and respond quickly. This optimizes IT operations and prevents business disruptions.
Infosys Live Enterprise Application Management Platform (LEAP) is an end-to-end platform, built on open architecture, which caters to all life cycle stages of application management program from transition – to steady state – and transformation. With this platform, Infosys elevates Application Management to focus on experience, effectiveness, and business outcomes. A persona-based and business process KPIs driven approach helps achieve the twin goals of digital transformation and operational efficiencies in application management and helps navigate to an agile, DevOps driven digital application management.
Infosys Live Enterprise Application Management Platform is an intelligent digital platform for end-to-end NextGen Application Management Services that helps enterprises sense, analyze, decide, and proactively intervene to optimize operations and prevent disruptions.
One of the fundamental imperatives of NextGen Application Management is to move from reactive and manual intensive operations to proactive, predictive, and highly automated operations. Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are key to managing issues proactively. AI / ML models learn from the past and proactively detect anomalies before impacting business. The also recommend remediation solutions to prevent the incidents from occurring. The platforms Zero Touch and Resilient solution pathways bring this power of AI / ML into operations to achieve agility and resilience to the application landscape. The platform brings in self-healing capabilities through synthetic monitoring, predictive analytics, and cognitive automation.
The platform provides the ability to sense disruptions by connecting to every tool in the scope of problem using out-of-the-box 30+ connectors. Additionally, it uses Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles through its Resilient application management approach to proactively monitor and correlate alerts, issues, incidents, and errors to detect the problems before hand and prevent disruptions. In the case of an incident occurrence the same could be quickly remediated digital workers created by assembling microbots together from the repository of 20K+ micorbots available from the home-grown bot repository integrated with the Cognitive automation studio of the platform. The anomalies that can neither be prevented nor automatically resolved are then passed on to support engineers as proactive alerts and nudges for further action.
We have observed most of the application management teams focus only on solving the IT issues at hand and not understanding full picture of business. Our business aligned application management approach aligns the business KPIs and business processes to underlying IT components. The platform uses disruption analysis, process mapping and failure point analysis to not only identify root cause, but to give plausible impact on business processes and business KPIs. This not only helps the Application Management teams to speed up the root cause analysis (RCA) and to prioritize their efforts to address the potential disruptions or incidents to minimize the business impact and improve the business outcomes.
Point of View

Scandinavia, the region of Northern Europe encompassing Norway, Sweden and Denmark, has long been touted as a paradise on earth, having the highest quality of life, happiest people and some of the most beautiful scenery on the planet. When it comes to travel tours, most people, especially young travelers tend to forget about the region as an option, or intentionally swerve it due to the famously eye-watering prices. However, the region, and the wider Nordic area which encompasses the equally amazing countries of Iceland and Finland, have a huge variety of experiences to offer adventurous travelers. Here’s why you should set yourself off on your very own Scandi tour this summer.
Smorgasbords Of Culture
People often tend to conflate the various Nordic countries together as a homogenous entity, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. The closely Germanic culture of Denmark is legions apart from the more Russian culture of Finland, or the Inuit-style culture of Iceland. However, at the end of the day, the cultures of each country are unique to themselves and difficult to compare to anywhere else on the planet. You’ll find vastly different cuisines, architecture, histories, natural scenery and social attitudes throughout Scandinavia and the Nordic countries, and a trip to all five will constitute a cultural extravaganza on par with inter-railing across Mediterranean Europe or road-tripping across the United States.
Easiest To Organize
Although we would never encourage lazy travelling, there’s a lot to be said about the ease and efficiency of travelling through Scandinavia, especially if you’ve experienced travelling through less developed parts of the world. Everyone speaks English, transport and visas (if you need them) can all be done online with amazing ease and user-friendliness, and the countries are all tightly interconnected with ultra-modern infrastructure. In addition, all of the most wired countries in the world are in Scandinavia, so you’re likely to have a strong internet connection wherever you are. This means that if you’re camping out in the Norwegian wilderness or doing a 7-hour train journey from Stockholm to Copenhagen, you’ll still be able to Skype your friends or even play online casino games with bonuses, like Party Casino, from your phone, which you find out more about from here. The fact that you can play online slots from basically the arctic circle highlights just how developed and efficient this region is, and how it’s a safe bet for those looking for a stress-free travel experience. The fact that these are also the safest countries in the world for solo female travelers is also a major plus!
Not As Expensive As You Think
Whenever you mention to friends that you’re heading to Scandinavia, they’re likely to give an eye-roll and start lecturing you about 8 euro pints of beer and how even waiting in line is expensive. However, a little bit of savvy and research can ensure that your Scandi trip doesn’t end up costing much more than anywhere else in Europe. The number one rule is to live like a student and hit up all the great bars, restaurants and venues in the great student neighbors of the Nordic capitals, where prices are often less than half of what you’d pay in the stylish city centers. The region also has a proud reputation for free museums and cultural activities, so do your research beforehand!

This praying mantis is making a fine outdoor pet for John Lee of Falls Church. He discovered the interesting insect one day out on the balcony.
This praying mantis is making a fine outdoor pet for John Lee of Falls Church. He discovered the interesting insect one day out on the balcony. It seems the mantis is happy to stick around, since Lee says it’s been outside for about a month. Most of us call these insects ‘praying mantises’ due to their typical ‘prayer-like’ stance. Mantises use their color as camouflage, blending in with foliage to avoid predators. The majority of mantises are ambush predators, waiting for prey to stray too near and grabbing them. Because of their famous bug eating skills, some organic gardeners, who avoid pesticides, encourage mantises in their gardens as a form of biological pest control. In fact, tens of thousands of mantis egg cases are sold each year in garden stores solely for this purpose. Lee, luckily, got this little guy for free.

Bollywood’s veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan will be turning 70 come this October 11.
Filmmaker R. Balki, who has worked with Amitabh Bachchan in movies like ‘Cheeni Kum’ and ‘Paa’, believes that Big B is once in a lifetime actor.
“He is once in a lifetime actor and the best way to respect and be friendly and love him would be to continue adoring him,” said Balki to Indian Express.
“He is an icon. We are fortunate enough to be living in an era where people like him are there. And I don't think one will get to see another Amitabh Bachchan in the next 100 years. I don't think it can happen,” he added.
The filmmaker said that to find someone with the combination of Big B’s talent, personality and hard work is tough to find.
“Besides his talent, hard work the personality and his acting skills is a difficult combination to get all together. It is a special moment in Bollywood in which we are living. He is the heritage monument of India,” he said.
But the director does have a tiny complaint when it comes to legendary actor.
“The dislike part is he does not drink and smoke, so I can't smoke in front of him. I like everything about him – the way he conducts himself, his wit and humor, his genuinety, his intelligence and his commitment and love for acting,” he concluded.

Alpengeist is 195' tall with a 170' drop, and Apollo's Chariot is only 170' tall but with a 210' drop into a valley. Given the topography of the location of this new ride, it would be possible for it to have a drop larger than the overall height as well. I'm looking forward to hearing more details on this one!
But, as you point out, from a zoning perspective, a queue building is a queue building.
FYI, the most recent press material I have received from the park indicates that the park is once again changing its name. The new name as presented on press material is Busch Gardens Europe Williamsburg, VA. Busch just cannot make up their minds, and seems to be pulling a complete 180 from what they did 6 years ago.


From the Baesweiler city center, walk along the Carlstrasse in a straight line towards the futuristic, red building of the "mountain foyer" in the park. Framed by red giant swings, this building is the first information, orientation and contact point with gastronomy. The striking mountain foyer is located in the middle of a newly created north-south axis, which geographically connects the park as a “landscape artery” with the neighbors Beeckfließ and Wurmtal.

A group of agitators, the Niger Delta Peace Volunteers (NDPV), has threatened to shut down the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) over failure to inaugurate the substantive board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
The NDPV in a statement on Thursday by its Group Secretary, Mr. Alaska Jogodo, claimed that the Federal Government had up to March 31, 2021 to constitute the board or they would carry out their threat.
The group frowned at the disposition of the Minister of the Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio, towards the constitution of the substantive board of the commission.
The NDPV alleged that issues of the Niger Delta were deteriorating by the day and they could no longer fold their arms and allow the minister’s illegal status quo take centrestage in the NDDC.
It expressed concern over the alleged continuous neglect by the Federal Government to listen to the pleas of several organisations in the region.
The NDPV said: “We shall begin to escalate things to the point of disrupting institutions in the country to express our worries and anger.
“If by the end of this month, nothing is done to inaugurate the legally approved board, we shall mobilise to shut down the Abuja airport and the activities of the NNPC to express our grievances over the sorry state of affairs in the NDDC characterised by one-man show.
“We shall liaise with groups such as the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) and other stakeholders to mobilise against the injustice in the region.
“It is not possible for one man to cook the meal that can satisfy the entire region. We shall together chase out illegality in the commission even if we have to occupy airports and shut down every oil activities. We shall mobilize.”

US refused to attend Moscow meeting with Afghan Taliban delegation
Moscow hosts a meeting of the "Moscow format" on the situation in Afghanistan, attended by representatives of ten countries of the region and a delegation of the Taliban (the movement is banned in Russia as a terrorist movement). The United States refused to participate in the negotiations.
A delegation of the Taliban movement * arrived in Moscow, which included high-ranking representatives of the new Afghan government, still serving as ministers with the prefix "acting", members of the Taliban political council * and even the new mayor of Kabul. The delegation is headed by the official representative of the Foreign Ministry of the unrecognized Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) Abdul-Kahar Balkhi.
In addition to the Russian side and the Taliban *, delegations from India, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, China, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan are participating in the negotiations. As already reported, the Americans refused to come to Moscow. According to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, this is the second time that the United States has avoided a meeting on Afghanistan within the framework of the "expanded three", which, in addition to Russia and the United States, includes China and Pakistan.
The Russian minister has already held a meeting with a Taliban delegation, during which many issues were raised regarding social policy and the observance of the rights and freedoms of Afghan citizens.
Later, within the framework of the meeting, the issue of international recognition of the Taliban government as a legitimate authority and provision of economic assistance to Afghanistan was raised.

Mossberg® No Longer in Dick’s Sporting Goods
Earlier today Mossberg® announced that it is terminating its relationship with Dick’s Sporting Goods. This comes to light after Dick’s decision to hire gun control lobbyists, and Dick’s decision to destroy assualt style weapons after no longer selling them at its Field and Stream stores.
In the release Linda Powell, Director of media Relations states:
NORTH HAVEN, CT – O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc., a leading American firearms manufacturer, announced today its decision to discontinue selling products to Dick’s Sporting Goods, and its subsidiary, Field & Stream, in response to their hiring of gun control lobbyists in April 2018.
Effective immediately, O.F. Mossberg & Sons will not accept any future orders from Dick’s Sporting Goods or Field & Stream, and is in the process of evaluating current contractual agreements.
“It has come to our attention that Dick’s Sporting Goods recently hired lobbyists on Capitol Hill to promote additional gun control.” said Iver Mossberg, Chief Executive Officer of O.F. Mossberg & Sons. “Make no mistake, Mossberg is a staunch supporter of the U.S. Constitution and our Second Amendment rights, and we fully disagree with Dick’s Sporting Goods’ recent anti-Second Amendment actions.”
Consumers are urged to visit one of the thousands of pro-Second Amendment firearm retailers to make their purchases of Mossberg and Maverick® firearms.

Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad is the Islamic world's answer to the neo-conservatives. He unnecessarily and obsessively manufactures conflict. He behaves ruthlessly with political opponents. And he is ever ready to use religious and cultural difference as an instrument of hatred.
Eight centuries ago, Saladin couldn't imagine liberating Jerusalem without his Jewish doctor-cum-rabbi Maimonides. But for Ahmadinejad, it seems the only liberated Jerusalem worth having is a non-kosher one.
Iran is complex and fascinating. Iranians are more fanatical about football than religion. Literacy rates exceed 90 per cent and 70 per cent of the population is under 30. More women than men attend university.
Indeed, some have suggested that Iranian Muslims are culturally more European than their co-religionists from Bosnia. But neo-conservatives will use any excuse to play the pipes for America's next war.
A proven method of drumming up support for a war is to give your audience a simplistic view of the enemy, even if it means telling outright lies. Supporters of the war with Iraq told us the Iraqis were conspiring with al-Qaida and were hiding weapons of mass destruction. Subsequently, we all learned these alleged "facts" used to justify the invasion of Iraq were lies.
We were also told the Coalition of the Killing would establish order and restore resources to Iraqis. Yet in the five months since a Shiite Muslim shrine was destroyed, more than 25,000 Iraqis have died in sectarian violence.
As if one military debacle wasn't enough, neo-conservatives are telling lies to convince us of the need to fight another Middle Eastern country. This time, the tactic has been exposed. It started last month when Canada's National Post newspaper published an opinion piece from American writer Amir Taheri, claiming the Iranian Parliament (or Majilis) passed legislation regulating dress codes for religious minorities.
Taheri's story appeared with a 1935 photo of a Jewish businessman in Berlin with a yellow star of David sewn on to his overcoat. The message was simple - Iran is the next fascist power and must be stopped even if it means war.
The Taheri article was picked up by Murdoch newspapers, including the New York Post. In pursuit of an anti-Iran jihad, conservative leaders began issuing fatwas.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper denounced the proposed law. US State Department spokesman Sean McCormack described the measure as "despicable" and reminiscent of "Germany under Hitler".
Even Australia's John Howard was reported in the Australian Jewish News as comparing Iran to Nazi Germany. Then The Sunday Times reported Iran's only Jewish MP, Maurice Motamed, declaring that the story was a complete fabrication. Motamed's denial was unequivocal and was based on his eyewitness account of a debate over what turned out to be a Bill regulating aspects of Iran's fashion industry.
So how did such an obvious lie find its way into reports of major newspapers and speeches of prime ministers? It appears the paper was misled by an organisation devoted to prosecuting Nazi war criminals.

Graduate student Darian Waugh will present
Yttrium Bis(phenolate) Catalyzed Polymerization
on November 14, 2017 at 4:10 PM in Neville Hall, Room 3.
Polymers are typically formed through three types of polymerization reactions; free-radical, ionic, and coordination. Coordination polymerization is an extremely useful means of polymer preparation due to its increase in control of stereoregularity, tacticity, during the formation period. This polymerization reaction was first discovered by Zeigler and Natta, and showed that higher stereoregularity and better control of polymer linearity could be obtained by using transition metal catalysts.1 It has been shown that these catalysts work by binding to the unit of interest, performing an insertion reaction, hereby extending the chain hereby forming a longer polymer.
Rare-earth metal polymerization using Yttrium complexes has been shown to form tactic and high molecular weight polymers. The work to be discussed will focus on the use and application of Yttrium Bis(phenolate) complexes as coordination catalysts for use in polymerization reactions. Yttrium, when coordinated to bis(phenolate) either ligands, has been shown to perform stereoselective polymerization, yielding stereoregular polymers while maintaining a narrow molecular weight distribution. Using Yttrium Bis(phenolate), poly(2-vinylpyridine) is prepared showing both high molecular weight and isotactic characteristics.1,2 Copolymerization and homopolymerization of 1,3-butadiene and isoprene were achieved by use of the Yttrium Bis(phenolate) catalyst.3 Yttrium Bis(phenolate) catalysts have also been used in an isoselective-ring opening polymerization of racemic lactide.4 These catalysts were synthesized with different steric modifications and the stereo-control mechanism of polymerization was explored by use of both kinetic and computational techniques, demonstrating how Yttrium Bis(phenolate) either complexes can be used in formation of polymers that have high molecular weights while maintaining stereoregularity.

DESPITE advances in experimental technology, measurement of capillary blood flow and tissue perfusion has remained an enigma. Most current methods involve an estimate of small vessel flow based upon a measurement of flow in a major artery leading to the organ in question. These methods necessitate the use of anesthesia and operative manipulation, both of which alter the dynamics of small vessel flow. Furthermore, techniques utilizing measurement of large vessel flow fail to differentiate nutritive (capillary) flow and nonnutritive flow through arteriovenous pathways. A method is needed which will measure capillary blood flow in the nonanesthetized animal without operative trauma. This report describes such a method.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the most famous and visually striking buildings in the world. Built in a manner that appears to defy the laws of physics, it is actually very carefully designed to ensure that while it does prominently lean to one side, the tower will not tumble over. It is a truly spectacular structure which can be beautifully recreated using 3D Building Models.
If you download the 3D building model for the tower, you could discover the intricate details that make up one of the most famous buildings in the world. Every detail of the building has been faithfully recreated in the files, provided in DAE, 3DS, C4D and SKP formats. (see details)
The Leaning Tower of Pisa
As a starting point, the brilliant craft and design work can be explicitly seen in the beautiful recreations of the Assunta and Pasquareccia bells and the balcony area at the top of the towers. The stairway leading from the 6th floor up to the top is also modelled, providing exceptional realism. Coming down the building are 6 beautifully sculpted layers showing the columns and arches used to support and construct the tower, with the model even including the brickwork patterns on each floor. On the ground floor, the diamond shaped brickwork pattern has been faithfully and beautifully recreated, completed by the inclusion of the entrance door into the famous structure. The 3D Building Model of the Tower of Pisa truly is a wonderful piece.
The Leaning Tower is actually the bell tower for the Pisa Cathedral. It began to tilt due to the fact that the foundations were built on unsuitable ground, unable to support the weight of the structure. The tilt of the tower became more and more pronounced over the years, which has led to there being many attempts at restoring the structure to a fully upright position. Unfortunately, many of these proved unsuccessful at first, with some even making the tilt worse! Following an eleven year closure to the public from 1990 to 2001, the tower was reopened as a team of mathematicians, engineers and historians worked to correct the tilt and prevent the tower from collapsing. Their efforts have proved successful, with the tower now stabilized to the extent that it no longer moves for the first time in its history!
With 3D Building Models, the Leaning Tower is available to download, allowing you to replicate the construction for yourself. One of the most famous structures in all of the world, this is a wonderful 3D model to add to the collection straight away.

I previously discusses low-key photography, now moving on to high-key photography. High-key photography is a subject on a white or light background.
High-key is a great way to bring out other colors in the photo. The trick is to overexpose the photo except for the subject, which you leave as normal or just a little bit overexposed.
The process is relatively simple.
You need a lighter background to bounce light off of. The important thing is that empty water does bounce light back but only with a slow shutter speed and only if you want a blue or brown background. There are a couple of ways to get the right background:
- Pick a subject with a vertical backstop. Coral, anemones, etc. Even colors like orange or red work.
- Shoot looking down on the subject so that the sand or coral serves as the background.
- Use a dive slate as a mobile background.
The next thing that you do is to light the background and try to avoid getting excessive light on the subject. This could mean many things:
- 2 Strobes or Video Lights with Diffusers: point them forward or outward. Try to “kiss” the subject with the inside edge of the light beam.
- 2 Video Lights: cross them behind the subject. Without diffusers, it’s easier to see where the edge of the beam is, so you end up adjusting your lighting more.
- Single Focus or Video Light: Use a longer arm to reach over the top of the subject and light behind it.
The most nuanced part of the setup is to make sure that your subject isn’t in silhouette. If you have to, add weaker light from the front or top to add a small amount of light to the subject so that some of the details are restored.
The last thing to do is to adjust your exposure. This depends on your gear, but it’s usually one or two of the following:
- Manual Mode: Use a wider aperture like F4 or F6 and a slower shutter speed. The hard part here is to avoid a super-thin depth of focus (with a supermacro converter, I usually have a paper-thin focus plane) or to slow the shutter speed down so much that you introduce blurring from moving: yourself or the subject.
- Automatic Mode: Adjust the Exposure Compensation to +1 or +2 to trick the camera into exposing a lighter photo. The amount that you have to adjust depends on how much light the background and subject reflect.
- Turn Up the Lighting: With some setups like strobes and video lights, you can increase the power on your lighting to overexpose the background. The important thing is to overexpose the background and not the subject.
Since there are many variables involved, there are many options that all work. Try using multiple techniques to get the job done and feel free to experiment.
Take it to the Next Level
While you’re making the background lighter use a board with glitter for an interesting background. Combined with overexposure and a bit of bokeh, it makes for a really nice picture.
Try different colored backgrounds like orange sponges or a field of light-blue tunicates as a background.
Try compositions with the subject offset to the left or right and some negative space opposite them. Try to use the 1/3 layout with the subject on one of the thirds and the other side blank.

A gay former inmate has sued the
Mecklenburg County jail for ignoring his pleas for protection.
According to The Charlotte Observer,
Arthur Blake claims in his complaint that he was brutally attacked on
August 1, 2014 by another inmate while unprotected after he had
repeatedly warned deputies that Timothy Belcher, who was open about
his hatred for gay people, had threatened him.
Blake said that he pleaded guilty to
involuntary manslaughter and other charges to speed up his transfer
out of the jail.
Blake is represented by Jake Sussman of
“The Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s
Office failed to take very basic steps to adequately protect one of
its inmates … and the result was that Mr. Blake suffered a brutal
told the outlet. “Prior to this assault, Mr. Blake had been
harassed and demeaned by certain employees of the Sheriff’s Office
because Mr. Blake is gay. This is unacceptable, especially from
public employees whose job is to serve and protect.”
Sussman added that jailers called his
client “Miss Blake” during his incarceration.
In his complaint, Blake stated that he
began reporting the threats to officials in July 2014 and that he
reiterated his plea for protection as late as two hours before the
attack occurred. Belcher banged Blake's head on the floor and gouged
his eyes, according to the suit.
In response to the attack, Blake was
placed in solitary confinement for four days.
A lawyer representing the jail said in
an email that officials “dispute the charges and intend to
vigorously defend the lawsuit.”

Game of Thrones’ Maisie Williams to make stage debut in new Hampstead season
A new season has been announced the Hampstead Theatre, and the UK premiere of a Tony Award winning play, and the stage debut of Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams.
The Humans, by Stephen Karam, won four Tony Awards in 2016 including Best Play, and is about three generations of one family who gather for Thanksgiving in pre-war Lower Manhattan. Between the three generations must deal with aging, illness and the changing economy between them. The original New York cast will reprise their roles in Joe Mantello’s production from 30th August to 13th October.
From 18th October, Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams will make her stage debut in Lauren Gunderson’s I and You. Directed by the theatre’s artistic director Edward Hall, Williams will play Caroline, who is housebound by illness unable to go to school who spends her days on social media. She develops a friendship with a classmate, who appears unannounced, as a piece of mundane homework reveals more about one another than they had expected.
Three new plays will premiere in the Hampstead Downstairs. Richard Molloy’s Every Day I Make Greatness Happens is about three unruly teenagers who rely on a teacher to pass their English GCSE resit. It will be directed by Alice Hamilton from 13th September to 20th October.
Ifeyinwa Frederick’s debut play The Hoes follows three childhood friends on a tip to Ibiza in their mid-twenties. It will run from 26th October to 1st December, and will be followed by Paradise by Dusty Hughes. The comedy is set in a seemingly idyllic luxury retirement complex which is taken over by new management. It runs from 7th December to 19th January.

This mod adds large blocks for various types of food from the farming, farming_redo & farming_undo, and ethereal mods for Minetest Game, and for mcl_farming in Mineclone2. They are crafted out of 9 of the original food item and each one comes with a custom texture like a giant cube version of that block.
Q: Isn't this a bit silly? What should I do with these blocks?
A: Yes, very silly. You could use them to build a house if you really wanted.
Q: Does this mean plants will now grow into blocks?
A: No, you have to craft the foodblocks out of plants you have already harvested.
Q: What do the foodblocks drop?
A: 9 items by default, but see the section on configuration.
All of these blocks are crafting by filling the 3x3 crafting grid with the appropriate harvested plant.
You can configure whether foodblocks will drop themselves directly, or 9 of the item that they were crafted out of. The default is to drop 9 of the item, similarly to melons or pumpkins in Mineclone. Regardless of the setting, the foodblocks will always drop themselves directly if the game is in creative mode, or in Mineclone2 when using a silk touch pickaxe. The check for creative applies to global creative mode only, not for players with the
Since blueberries were introduced to Minetest Game, but already existed in farming, this mod lets you decide what you want the blueberry blocks to drop: default blueberries, wild blueberries (from farming) or the type they were crafted from.
See settingstypes.txt and the in-game configuration menu for more information.

I didn't say lower the DC. In fact, my suggestion would be the opposite. If you want players to invest in Charisma and Diplomacy more, raise the DC's.
Which I do at the table. I don't disallow a player from roleplaying just make the chances of auccess harder.
For me, roleplay is not something to reward with a bonus, it's the minimum requirement to engage at the table. I'm not a tyrant about it, but rather something I work with the player on and suit to their style of play.
I reward them with a bonus as well. Nor am I tyrant about it either yet at the same time their should be consequences for building a character with low cha and int. As a DM one should not bend the rules for low attributes since it penalizes those who invest the point in those attributes.
The major premise for a game system to work: to effect change, you must use the mechanics of the rules to do so.
Low attributes are still low attrbutes. They are tied into the system for skill rolls. Low con and str mean you hit less for less damage and can take getting hit less. Their is a reason why the system gives negatives to low attributes. If this was a rpg like Fate or one where attributes were not so tied into the system then you can have a character that is not as smart or charismatic while still bein effective. Imo this is not the system for it. Not without houserules or giving free passes to those with low attributes while screwing over those who invest the proper points in those attributes/
By "effect change" I mean something that matters. Sure, tying your shoes 'changes' them from untied to tied, but unless the success or failure is consequential, it doesn't matter. I'm talking about more important changes. Getting an NPC to do a favor. Making an orc dead. Finding a secret door. All these things require a roll.
Again what is being forgotten is that those who take low attributes should not be given a free pass on social situations of any kind. It matters not if it is a important situation or not. Want to take a cha or 7 or less go for it. I expect you to roleplay it. If not I have to start allowing a player using the Bard to hit and do as much damage as someone with a low cha.
Responsability for a player having fun is on both the player and the DM. More on the player because I run and design the game they are playing in. Not the character. Player want to hit and interact well in social situations then build the right character. I refuse to take any responsability for poor player character design. I don't force players to build characters a certain way. Yet neither am I forced to cater to a person who wants to have high con and str at the expense of three attributes of 7 or lower.

Book 1.1 of the Sarazen Saga This book is part of a SERIES. It could be read alone and enjoyed as is. Suggested to be read following Book 1, Sarazen's Claim. There is a happy ending, but as this is part of a SERIES, the ever after part comes later. Not a cliffhanger so much as a continuation.
Having gone from invisible engineering personnel, to one of the few remaining human survivors, Andi Starsong is struggling to acclimate to her new situation. She's been identified as a potential mate by one of the hulking Sarazen warriors, and if that wasn't terrifying enough, he's come to claim her.
Ohlen's little mate is terrified of him. Despite having done everything he can think of to put her at ease, Andi shies from him each time he so much as glances his way. He can no longer deny the roaring of his beast, the instinct that tells him she is in danger. He has no choice. He must claim her.
When the warship reaches Sarazen territory, Ohlen and Andi must navigate their blossoming bond and the danger of the treachery brewing within the pride. Treachery that could destroy more than just their bond.
There is a lot of dark content in this series. Please review the Content Warnings before reading this review and/or the series.
Sarazen’s Vengeance by Isabel Wroth is the 2nd book in the Sarazen Saga. Originally this was listed as a 1.1 novel, but the author updated it recently. This story starts out concurrently with the previous, which means there is a lot of overlap in the story. I felt like we got pretty much everything we needed from the first book, so the overlap was just frustrating. Having said that, I liked Andi and Ohlen enough that I was able to read through it.
Andi has been brutalized her entire life. Every year on her birthday since her 16th, one of her superior officers corners her and rapes her. She is powerless to stop him aboard the Starsong, and being rescued by a giant warrior race isn’t exactly comforting to her. Especially when one of them claims she is his mate. But Ohlen isn’t like the other males she’s known; he’s kind and patient, and makes sure she feels safe and wanted. He’s also able to give her something no one else can – Strength. a transfusion of his blood will allow her to become a shapeshifter, which means she never has to be weak or powerless again.
I really loved how sweet Ohlen was with Andi. The other males were all kind of chauvinists, but Ohlen didn’t try to railroad Andi or keep secrets from her. He was open and honest from the beginning, and wanted nothing more than her to find happiness. I loved how she came to trust him, and how he was available to her at all times, because that’s what she needed.
Despite how cute they were together, I found the first part of the novel to be rather boring, since it was just a repeat of what we’d already read in the first book. Things picked up more when they went planet-side.
Rating: 3.75 out of 5
