Reviews roundup – Kyrbgrinder vs. Fear Is A Liar vs. Lightning vs. Twin Arrows vs. Destiny Heroes
Chronicles Of A Dark Machine
It’s metal to the fore today, starting with the annoyingly named Kyrbgrinder, who started life as an off shoot of Threshold, led by drummer and vocalist Johanne James. This album sees him joined by bass player Dave Lugay and guitarist Aaron Waddingham, with the whole thing being produced by Threshold”s Karl Groom.
It’s not really a million miles away from what his main band does, but it’s a bit more melodic, despite the riff heavy numbers on offer. Tunes like ‘Captain America’ and ‘Kill Them All’ can sit quite happily alongside modern metal without scaring the kids off.
The band themselves are all very good at what they do, with a full on, in your face production. Threshold fans should check it out, but there is a lot there for newcomers as well.
FEAR IS A LIAR
Off to the mythical continent of Australasia now to catch up with Melbourne band Fear is A Liar. Formed in 2012, this is their debut album, and whereas Kyrbgrinder toy with the idea of modern metal, Fear Is A Liar embrace it fully.
You can tell they grew up listening to the likes of System Is A Down and Korn, which is understandable considering they’re young up and comers. So there are plenty of big riffs and odd rhythms, which seems to be how the kids like it.
Luckily they did remember to write some tunes and after you get past the very odd intro, there are some good ones here with ‘A Chance To Wake Up’ and ‘The Height’ probably the best of the bunch. Whether it is good enough to push them up the ladder is still open to question, but as an opening shot, it certainly makes its mark.
Road To Ninja
You won’t be too surprised to learn that an album called “Road To Ninja” means we are welcoming Japanese band Lightning to the table.
Apparently, they’ve been Big in Japan since starting off in 2006, but have now decided to bring their brand of power metal to a wider audience. Something that fans of DragonForce will thank them for.
It’s actually a compilation type thing with songs from previous albums like “Justice Strike” and “Five Rings”, but as it’s my first taste of the band, I’m not bothered by that. Because they certainly know how to fulfill all your power metal needs on songs like ‘Heavy Metal (Of Destiny)’.
They’ve got all the moves that bands like Hammerfall have, and Oliver Hartmann from Avantasia even turns up on one track to give them some kudos. It’s an excellent release that should do the job of getting their name known over here.
Hell And Back
France now, and if there is one thing the French struggle at, then it’s the rawk. If I wanted someone to run away or cook bad food, they’d be first on my list but you can count on the fingers of one finger just how many great French rock bands there are (Trust, as if you need to ask).
Twin Arrows are the latest challengers for the throne, and they certainly have an interesting take on music, as they leap willy nilly from sixties psych to industrial noise, often within the space of eight bars. There are lots of eighties indie influences in there, and a few riffs that the Reid brothers would recognise. Brothers, not twins.
Melody seems alien to them as they clatter though a dozen pieces which veer wildly. You feel like a deer in the headlights in places, wishing you could move, while standing hypnotised by th elikes of ‘Wasted’ and ‘Dead Girl’. Trust can rest in peace.
Abandon The Ship
Lastly, for today, we’re off to Greece. I’m surprised they’ve got enough electricity to record an album. Mayhap the follow up will be on yonder wax cylinder.
Destiny Heroes are a modern rock band, led by vocalist G. Raven and two teenies – Stanley G. on bass and Filippos Zoidis on guitar. Seems they’re quite popular over there and this, their second LP, will probably do alright.
There are a couple of songs here which would fit nicely on whatever the Greek equivalent of Kerrap! TV is, with ‘God Of The New Age’ and ‘Change The World’ prime single contenders. There are a couple of clunkers, and they need to steer clear of ballads, but if you’re 15 years old, this could be the best thing ever.

I got the new Zevon CD and was pleased to see that it was #1 at Amazon and comfortably in the Top 20 overall. I wasn’t surprised, though, to see that he died soon after its release. Charles Shultz died when the last Peanuts appeared, and he didn’t even have the sense of graveyard irony that Zevon had.
The reviews are right: The Wind isn’t Zevon’s best work, and it might not be such a remarkable CD if not for the circumstances. But the two are inseparable. Only one or two of the songs would appear on a best-of list (I’m a fan of My Dirty Life and Times), but it’s still an extraordinary, life-affirming piece of work.
But instead of picking through this CD, I’ll honor the guy with a look at my favorite Zevon songs:
- Lawyers, Guns and Money: Probably his best tale of misdeeds and consequences.
- Play It All Night Long: A gloomy yet vivid portrait of rural life that includes the classic line Sweet Home Alabama / Play that dead band’s song. Also one of the better-recorded songs, with an odd meter and instrumentation that freed him from the occasionally bland arrangements of his SoCal cronies.
- Reconsider Me: His ballads were sometimes a bit too country for me, but this one is brilliant. The lyrics are straightforward without being too cliched, and the melody is gorgeous.
- Detox Mansion: Like many of the songs on Sentimental Hygiene (1987, senior year of high school), this was recorded with R.E.M.’s Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Bill Berry, who were more energetic than some of his other collaborators. The gleeful romp through rehab is, like many of his best songs, a classic case of turning tragedy into comedy.
- Hit Somebody (The Hockey Song): A lot of reviewers panned his penultimate album My Ride’s Here. From what I’ve heard, I disagree. MacGillicuddy’s Reeks is an amusing song mixing an Irish lilt with Yuppie romance. Then there’s this song, co-written with sports columnist Mitch Albom and featuring a background yell from David Letterman, that pays tribute to a reluctant hockey goon from rural Canada.

Company Patriot Memory, released last year, first the simple three-memory kits for Core i7, and then a three-sets of DDR3 memory with support for XMP, has decided to double the number of modules in three-set.
As a result, a set of six modules Viper DDR3-1333 received a total amount of solid - 12 GB. There will be two options available to set. In one of them includes a model with «formula» delay CL7-7-7-20 (the code in the directory - PVT312G1333LLHK), while the second - CL9-9-9-24 (PVT312G1333ELHK). By the way, according to some sources, the second option will work with the delayed CL8. In any case, the user free from having to individually select the optimal parameters, because the model supports the specification of Intel Extreme Memory Profiles (XMP).
Cooling modules - passive, through the radiators of copper and aluminum composite. The memory is designed for installation on the system board on a set of system logic Intel X58.

A collection of posts about DIY/Open Source PPE is here.
There are two videos here at present. I will continue to add references when I can. No one is endorsing me nor sponsoring me.I get no percentage of anything bought through these links;I am sharing them for efficiency only.
The bottom line is that once a face shield is on the face of someone, it can be a life or death situation. Brittle shields, shields that can fall off, shields that are uncomfortably tight: these issues and more we want to avoid.
Faster printing times are counterproductive and dangerous if they break.
Cheaper filament may allow for more to be made, but QUALITY CONTROL must be a constant.
Would you wear your faceshield in a situation where it was needed most?
The following are notes that will be better organized in the future. My hope is that these fragments can answer questions, save time and prevent problems. THANK YOU
(For the very first time, the time to make one mask is 3 hours, meaning loading of models, setting up profiles etc. Once these are done for the first time, the following prints will take much less time to make. USEFUL INFO STARTS 2 minutes into the video.)
In this video I'll go through what settings to change to really speed up your 3D Printing. This is particularly aimed at newcomers to 3D printing who are starting to 3D Print face shields to battle the COVID-19 outbreak. Please note that Maximum speed isn't always optimal!

The following are condensed from the comments:
- this is a CURA version. I have a 0.8mm nozzle and came here struggling to make it print with cura at 0.6mm layer height. From your video its evident that the most I can push it is 0.5mm. My challenge is the seam line. It raises between layers at higher layer heights.
- Got 25min on MK2.5S with 0.4mm nozzle on 0.35 layer
- We print stacks of them at 17min a piece with just a 0.4mm nozzle. We redesigned them to make them stronger (chambered walls to stack the layers like a brick wall), faster (smaller top and bottom surface) and better stackeable/splittable (also due to the smaller top/bottom surface). On top of that, PrusaSlicer does a better job at faster/more logical gap fill. Our remix of the faceshield is downloadable at MyMiniFactory (A better and faster stackeable visor/faceshield)
- I just print your model and is great! 19 min, now going to test 36x stack Thanks.
- Ender 3s can get issues trying to push out large volumes of filament at once. If you see too little is coming out, dial back on speed and/or increase temperature on extruder 5-10 degrees (c)
- How would I use the Prusa Slic3r software to get the same time savings? Start with changing layer height, as it affects much. Depending on the model you're printing, maybe you can adjust infill/shells/walls as well, but dont "overdo" it. Make sure your model is acceptable before pushing it too far! When you say change layer height, would you change it up or down? Up.So as standard with a stock Prusa I3 (for example) you have 0,4mm nozzle. The general rule is that you can go up to 0,3mm layers with that nozzle. If you're printing at 0,15 or 0,2mm today, try test it in 0,05mm steps. So start with 0,2 or 0,25 before hitting 0,3 and see the difference in results. Sometimes you can have difficulties getting first layer to stick with higher thicknesses, so just monitor your printer when it starts.
- Increase the Travel speed to 300 mm/s most machines can easily do it.
- To visualize color: When you press slice (or if you have auto-slicing on) you can select in top-right corner of the 3D-view and choose Layer view. As default, it should say "Solid View".
There are more comments on Youtube.
I started printing face shields for a local initiative. This is the workflow that I used to optimize the printing speed. I was able to reduce the printing time from 5 hours with my standard parameter to less than 1 hour with the optimized one!

Singapore's infocomm media start-ups are getting a head start in overseas expansion with the help of the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA).
One beneficiary is BeLive, which managed to make business connections and form partnerships with other companies through IMDA's accreditation programme that establishes credentials for promising infocomm media companies.
This boosts their credibility to potential clients like government entities and large enterprises.
BeLive, which was launched in 2014, now has more than 30 clients, such as local broadcaster Mediacorp and Japanese tech conglomerate and e-commerce provider Rakuten.
BeLive helps companies set up interactive videos on their websites to promote and sell their products.
As potential customers watch the videos, BeLive collects data through its video player, which pinpoints when customers decide to buy products or when they lose interest and click away.
While consumers and retailers in Singapore depend heavily on third-party platforms such as Lazada and Shopee for purchases and sales, businesses in other countries like the United States prefer to sell their products on their own websites.
BeLive thus saw the opportunity to expand overseas.
"Setting up a video player that can support multiple users at once requires a lot of investment in research and development... Cost is an issue. E-commerce businesses would rather focus on acquiring users or gaining more products," said Mr Kenneth Tan, 38, its chief executive.
Another Singaporean infocomm media start-up that ventured overseas is data collection and annotation company Tictag.
Realising that getting good and labelled datasets was tedious and expensive, its co-founder Kevin Quah, 33, wanted to create software that could let anyone label datasets.
When FairPrice needed to label features of products in images, it engaged Tictag.
Tictag, which was launched in Singapore in 2020, crowdsources the labelling of datasets through a mobile application.
Taggers get rewarded in cash, with the payment depending on the complexity of the data.
Artificial intelligence (AI) companies are also interested to buy access to these datasets for training their AI models.
"We decided to make a crowdsourced application as we wanted taggers with all kinds of expertise. For example, we would need medical professionals for datasets involving medical terms or knowledge," said Mr Quah. Tictag's co-founder Kevin Quah. The company operates in Singapore and South Korea, and has 25 employees in total.
Tictag expanded to South Korea in 2020 through a start-up acceleration programme offered by the Korean government.
The company also made connections with South Korean start-ups and investors through IMDA.
"Korea is a very developed market for AI, and we wanted to learn as much as possible about AI in the Korean market and bring our expertise back to Singapore. Data annotation isn't new overseas but it's fairly new in Singapore," said Mr Quah.
Tictag, which operates in Singapore and South Korea, has 25 employees in total and more than 5,000 taggers.
Verifiable technology solutions provider Accredify has also tapped IMDA's help.
Founded in 2019, it co-developed Singapore's national Covid-19 test standard HealthCerts, which helps to verify that results issued by clinics here have not been tampered with.
"We found that shared digital information could create opportunities for misinformation. We wanted to create verifiable technology to restore trust in digital interactions," said Accredify chief executive Quah Zheng Wei, 31. Accredify, which already has a presence in Sydney, is currently exploring establishing an office in Japan, said CEO Quah Zheng Wei.
The start-up established an office in Sydney in 2022 with IMDA helping with market research and briefings on the business climate there.
"Clients in Australia are more willing to buy software services that integrate with their existing systems rather than building their own software from scratch," he added.
"We're currently working with government agencies across Singapore and Japan to explore the establishment of a physical office in Japan as part of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's project to attract foreign start-up companies to Tokyo," he said.
Accredify currently has 42 employees and plans to expand to 60 by end-2023.
The IMDA is working on growing Singapore's local tech ecosystem and supporting their expansion abroad, with efforts being made to link up with foreign ecosystem partners, said assistant chief executive officer Justin Ang.
"IMDA hopes to both build Singapore as a leading tech ecosystem as well as attract and inspire young talented technopreneurs," he added.

When it comes to having fun in exotic and classy locations, Lagos has to be the winner. From fun parks to luxurious cinemas and even suave art galleries, Lagos has it all. Below are ten of the hottest locations in Lagos that people just couldn’t seem to get enough of and if you live in Lagos and you haven’t visited at least four of these locations then you probably need to go out more.
1. Upbeat Center
Upbeat center was one of the hottest places to visit this year. You’d basically lose weight while having fun on their multifaceted indoor trampolines and if you’re not in the mood to jump around you could relax and snack on the icecream in their icecream bars. In my opinion, this should be the number one fun Lagos destinations you should head to because you won’t really break the bank to have fun at this place.
2. Rufus and Bee
This is the coolest arcade spot in Lagos with loads of competitive games you and your friends can play. It’s best you visit this spot with a bunch of friends rather than go alone.
Lagosians would argue that the Imax cinema is the best cinema in Nigeria because of the little extra added luxury. The chairs are more comfortable, the screen is far bigger than other cinema screens, the sound quality is different and even those who mostly go there tend to be people of the upper-class Lagos. If you want luxurious movie experience then Imax cinema should be your one-stop shop.
4. Nike Art Gallery
Arguably the coolest art gallery in Lagos and what makes this place so awesome is the fact that the owner ‘Nike’ is always around and people swear she’s the nicest woman. She’s always ready to give you a tour of her gallery and explain each piece of art telling your their origin and what inspired them all.
5. Lekki Conservation Center
This cool spot allegedly has the longest canopy walk in west Africa which makes it one of the coolest destinations to visit while in Lagos. If you’re scared of heights and not in the mood to scream you could relax in the park while playing with giant chess and checkers pieces. It’s a cool spot for a first date or a family hangout.
6. Takway Bay Beach
Arguably the coolest low budget beach in Lagos, this private beach has shallow waters meaning you can swim in it without the fear of drowning. It’s also relatively fun because cool people always go there so if you’re the type who’s looking to make new friends then this beach should be in your go-to spots.
7. Ofada Boy
This restaurant is relatively new and has been the rave on the mainland. It serves gourmet local dishes and drinks with Ofada and Palmwine being it’s biggest hits and it’s ambience and interior decor is to die for. It’s the kind of restaurant a tourist should visit if they want to get quality local dishes.
8. Ikeja City Mall
Due to the fact that almost everything cool in Lagos is located in Lagos Island, ICM found it’s way to this list because it’s the biggest mall in Lagos mainland which has loads of cool stores. If you live on the mainland and can’t be bothered to make the island trip then you should definitely visit ICM.
9. Ada’s Pancake Hub
This is arguably the coolest pancake shop in Lagos with varieties and different flavours of pancakes. If you have a sweet tooth or you’d rather a savory pancake thn Ada’s pancake hub should be your spot because people who have gone there swear that her pancakes are the fluffiest pancakes they’ve ever tasted.
10. Omu Resort
This place has to be the most fun location on this list because it has a lot of side attractions. It has a zoo, parks, pool, Kayaking, archery, amusement parks and many more. You might have to break the bank a bit for this one but it’s guaranteed that you’d have fun.

Ha- Repair – 5 x 2 ml Vials
INCI: Aqua, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Methylparaben.
Ha-repair of repair of hyaluronic acid concentrate transparent allows immediate hydration of the skin, a protective layer, which also prevents dehydration and protects against environmental influences.
HA-REPAIR DOUBLE is a chemical properties that allow macromolecules in certain circumstances and to ionize a molecule to become highly hydrophilic.
In addition, hyaluronic acid also contains protective properties which give the skin an immediate softness and elasticity. In addition, it is important to emphasize the healing effect when restoring scars and skin damage.
HA-REPAIR DOUBLE Provides extra strength to the skin,
Increase the firmness of our tissues,
Strengthens the connective tissue of the skin,
Stimulates the production of collagen and elastin
The skin regains its natural elasticity,
Wrinkles in the molten skin,
Restored, softens and soothes the skin,
Very fine wrinkles disappear.
|Hydrating agent (forms a viscoelastic layer thanks to its ability to retain water).
The skin’s extracellular matrix is composed primarily of two types of molecule: glycosaminoglycans and proteins such as elastin and collagen.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan composed of repeating units of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, found in many body tissues, particularly in connective tissue and the skin. Thanks to its viscoelastic and rheological properties, it carries out a number of important functions in the body. It helps maintain the extracellular space, facilitates extracellular ion and nutrient transportation and plays a part in the control of skin tissue hydration and the lubrication of joints via the synovial tissue.
Hyaluronic acid is produced intracellularly in the fibroblast cell membrane by specialized enzymes and is broken down by free radicals in the body and also via hydrolysis by enzymes called hyaluronidases.
Over the years, synthesis of hyaluronic acid in the human body reduces and degradation increases. The result is a loss of volume, the facial contour and the appearance wrinkles, giving the face an old and tired look.
HA-REPAIR DOUBLE Hyaluronic acid plays an important role in natural skin hydration.
Topical use provides deep and immediate hydration and forms a film on the skin that protects it from external agents, as well as giving it a firmer appearance and helping fill small wrinkles and expression lines.
It is capable of retaining a thousand times its weight in water and hence reconstituting the fibres that support skin tissue, improving shape.
Its use is very important for devitalised skin as its moisturising and protective properties also immediately soften the skin and enhance elasticity.
Many properties have been attributed to this long polysaccharide since it was discovered in the 1930s:
- One of its main functions is water retention and consequently its immobilisation. In this ways, cells remain plump and retain their elasticity.
Anti-ageing. Hyaluronic acid plays an active role in two vital cell processes: division and proliferation. Cell renewal is essential to ageing.
Regeneration. Regeneration of the skin goes hand-in-hand with cell proliferation.
Neutralisation of the oxidative process. Helps eliminate free radicals, improving skin condition and protecting it from the sun’s ultraviolet rays.
Tissue repair. In this sense, tissue regeneration aids facial rejuvenation.
Collagen and elastin. Stimulates production of both.
- Heals, soothes and calms the skin.
Skin repair. It is a powerful repairing agent due to the properties of its fibroblasts, which accelerate skin renewal.
Dermica Laboratories bases its innovation on the use of cosmetics developed with active ingredients from the pharmaceutical industry applied by intradermal delivery systems, achieving penetration into the deepest layers of the dermis and by naturally stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. Dermica Laboratories was founded in Zurich (Switzerland) by an experienced team of pharmacists, biochemists and doctors who have developed and introduced advanced solutions and formulas for leading international cosmetic companies in the last 15 years.
Dermica Switzerland offers different cocktails and specially designed active ingredients suitable for different dermatological problems in every skin type. Our application systems enable an almost total penetration in a higher quantity and deeper into the dermis, getting better and faster results on the needs of each patient.

Solar community energy project in Recklinghausen
Involved Regions: Reklinghausen
Capacity in in Megawatts (MW): 195
Involved RES Sectors: Solar
There are many public roof surfaces in cities which can be easily used for the generation of electricity and heat. The citizens of Reklinghausen decided to exploit this potential with a community power project. The initiators of the project wanted to give the city an opportunity to get involved in a renewable energy sources project and make a positive contribution to the environmental protection. The city of Recklinghausen supports the initiative by the lease of the roof surfaces for the PV cells. The mayor of the city also personally invested into the project.
- Since July 2011, the citizens of Recklinghäuser feed the electricity from three PV systems into the power grid. The plant produces around 195,000 kWh of electricity per year. This amount of energy is enough to supply around 60 households with electricity the whole year.
- Investment costs of the project were 220,000-260,000 EUR. Citizens could participate in the project with the minimum investment of 500 EUR. The average investment amount was 3,300 EUR. The project was 100% financed with own capital resources.
- Three GbRs (Gesellschaft bürgerlichen Rechts) were established in order to run the project. In addition, a union (Verein) SolaRE e.V. was established. The association is responsible for the construction and operation of the PV systems and three GbRs containing 70-80 citizens each are financing and using the solar systems.

Yes, Burts crisps has partnered with Ireland's famous stout producer for a world first - Guinness crisps. When the potato chips hit our desks today we were skeptical at first, but one taste of the subtle roasted barley and hops flavour and we were reaching for a pint of the black stuff to go with them.
Big on beefy flavour, theyre likely to win over the taste buds of more carnivorous types but are 100% vegetarian friendly, and we love the cosy autumnal feel of packaging with its toasted golden crisps glowing temptingly out of the Guinness-black background.
We were crushed to find out that they weren't in store yet but but they'll be hitting the shelves of Waitrose and ASDA the first week of October, so only a few more days to wait until they are available.
Guinness Burts Chips are priced at 75p for a 40g packet, and £1.99 for a 150g packet.

Florida is known for its beautiful beaches, lakes, streams and rivers. Yet, over time, due to urbanization and population growth, the increase in stormwater runoff can have a detrimental effect on our water quality without critical best management practices.
Stormwater runoff is generated from rain events that flow over land or impervious surfaces, such as paved streets, parking lots and building rooftops, and does not soak into the ground. The runoff picks up pollutants like trash, chemicals, oils, and dirt/sediment that can harm our water quality.
Programs like the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), prevent pollution by controlling it at its source.
At MDA, our civil engineers are skilled at creating NPDES-approved designs that use best available technology to reduce pollutants from their discharge and ensure water quality is achieved throughout the duration of the site design and development.
This can be particularly challenging when working on an existing project to be redeveloped due to unknown factors related to pre-existing conditions in the underlying foundation. Once unearthed, you may discover additional issues in the drainage that require re-engineering of the stormwater management plans. Due to the extensive experience in design and knowledge of local, state and federal regulations, our team can quickly find a solution in a way that maintains the usability of the site, supports the NPDES program, and stays within budget.
You’ll find examples of our work on this level throughout the state of Florida at medical facilities, hospitality spaces, real estate development projects, municipal sites, and more.
Sunset Pointe: Developed by D.R. Horton, Sunset Pointe is a single-family residential subdivision on 20 acres along Cape Coral Parkway in the City of Cape Coral, FL. Offering 58 lots, each containing 0.20 – 0.25 acres in size, the gated community features 3.4 acre lake and privacy wall, with a lush landscaping design surrounding the perimeter of the project.
The scope of services completed included land use planning required to rezone the property to a Planned Development Project (PDP), accompanied by engineering and landscaping architecture design for Cape Coral Site Plan approval, SFWMD Environmental Resource Permit, and Utilities permitting, along with subdivision platting for the creation of the access roadway, lake and utilities in support of the lots.
Enhanced engineering design was necessary to comply with requirements for the impaired basin status of the Caloosahatchee River to include water quality treatment for the stormwater runoff conveyed to the City’s stormwater management system. The project design attenuates for 100% of the nitrogen loading from the stormwater runoff prior to discharge from the site.
The design required close attention to the concerns of the neighboring residents in order to compliment the scale of the homes with the surrounding development. A number of deviations from the Land Development Regulations were needed to balance the type and number of units with the infrastructure required by the City.
San Carlos Estates Water Control District: Formed in 1969, the District is responsible for the quality of water flowing through the canals and swales of San Carlos Estates. Covering over 1,100 acres, the district is comprised of 932 low-density, single-family homesites as well as 19 miles of roadways.
Since 2000, Bill Morris, PE, has served as the District Engineering, actively working to economically implement the ever-evolving NPDES program requirements with the FDEP and San Carlos Estates’ Board of Supervisors and Staff.
The MDA team has also provided services in support of stormwater management maintenance and access infrastructure. The team’s efforts were recognized by the FDEP for the District’s complete implementation of the stormwater treatment program as a co-permittee with Lee County and Bonita Springs in the NPDES program.

It's freaking weird, I tell you.
I haven't had this much fun writing something since... oh, the first half of The Stratford Man.
Also, it keeps suggesting alternate titles for itself. Engine and Rule was one. Shipwreck Star was the other, which has this great classic 1960's Sargasso of Space/Cities in Flight kind of ring to it, I think, and may just wind up being the real title, after all. Except it sounds so much like a James Blish book I actually had to go check and make sure it wasn't one already.
Maybe I can use that as a chapter title, since it seems to want chapter titles.
Anyway. Man. I am so happy with this book. (Never fear. In a hundred pages or so I'm sure it will be sitting around the house in its undershorts scratching its groin under the beergut and I'll be shrieking at it to wipe the mustard out of its three-day beard and get a job, but for now, it's the sexiest book alive.)
1. light from a high window
"To know all is not to forgive all. It is to despise everybody."
-- Quentin Crisp
At the corner of the window, a waxen spider spun.
Rien's trained eye saw the spider, the way her spinning caught the light. But Rien did not move her rag to break the threads and sweep the cobweb down. She pressed to the wall between that window and the door and held her breath, praying like the spider that no eye would fall on her, as Lady Ariane Conn and her knights brought the naked prisoner from Engine in.
Rien knew the prisoner was of noble blood by her chains. They writhed at her wrists, quicksilver loops of nanotech costlier than rubies and more rare, forestalling any untoward transformations.
The girl was tall, almost sexless in her slenderness and anything but sensual, though she was naked except for blood and dirt and manacles. Her bony face was square, and tired sweat stuck her dirt-brown hair to her cheeks and shoulders. The only breadth on her, other than across the jaw and cheekbones, was in the wiry muscles of her shoulders and her chest. Even her bare feet were narrow and elegant.
Rien could not see her hands through the twisting chains, but judged they must be the same. Nobody would waste chains like that on a Mean when cheap extruded would serve. And then there the way she bore herself, strong shameless steps that swept the nanotech across the floor behind her like silken swags.
Furthermore, the prisoner was escorted in by a half-dozen soldiers with beam weapons slung across ablative armor carapaces, faces concealed under closed and tinted masks. The girl--no older than Rien, though far more imposing--was Family.
Rien drew back among the other upstairs maids, twisting her polishing cloth between her hands, but started when Head's hand fell on her. Rein craned her neck around, catching a comforting glimpse of Head's craggy profile, the long furrows beside hir nose, and whispered. "Will there be war?"
Head squeezed. The pain was a comfort. "When isn't there? Don’t worry, girl. We're beneath soldiers. It never touches us."
Rien's mouth made an O. "Who's she then?"
Head's hand slid down Rien's sloping shoulder and brushed her elbow when it dropped. "That's Perceval. They'll want her well-fed once she's in her cell."
The chained girl's eyes swept the room like search lights. Rien lowered her gaze when the stare seared over her.
Head cleared hir throat. "You can do it."
Care for the prisoner. Not a job for an upstairs maid. Not a job for a mere girl. "But--"
"Hush," said Head.
And Rien had run clear of words, anyway. For when the girl Perceval passed, back still straight as a dangled rope, chin lifted and eyes wide, Rien saw what she had not before.
From long gashes between her shoulder blades, two golden ropes of blood groped down her back, across her spine. They writhed when they touched each other, twisted and fumbled this way and that, like columns of searching ants.
Fruitlessly. The wings they sought had been severed at the root. And if Rien were to judge by the Lord's daughter Ariane striding beside the captive, her unblade bumping her thigh, her armor open at the collar, the maiming would be permanent.
That sword's name was Innocence, and it was very old.
Rien raised her hand to her mouth and bit at the skin across the bones as the mangled angel was led through the hall, down the stair, and away.
At first Perceval thought the tickle in the hollow of her collarbone was the links of a silver necklace she always wore, kinking where they draped over bone. Then, as she came awake, she remembered that she was a prisoner of the House of Rule, and they had taken her necklace along with her clothes, and so it must be a trailing strand of hair.
But she turned her head, and nothing slid across her nape and shoulders. They'd shaved her head, one more humiliation, not remotely the worst.
Perceval's arms were chained over her head, and as her shifting weight fell against them, sensation briefly returned. The chains were not cold and hard, but had stretch and give, like oiled silk. Fighting them was like fighting the River, like a child wrestling adult power.
But she must fight anyway.
She bent her elbows, dragged at the bonds, tugged the sheets of nano that chained her feet to the floor. It hurt, though her weight was halved now, though her shoulders were shorn as naked as her scalp. Her muscles hardened reflexively, across her shoulders and her deep-keeled breast, and where translucent blood-warmed membrane should have cupped air, instead she felt the clean-cut rounds of bone twist in her new-scabbed wounds.
The tickle at her throat was a forlorn tendril of blood, still groping for the severed wing.
At least there was light here, light from a high window, falling warm and dusty across her scalp and shoulders. Perceval knew it was only to taunt, like the breeze that ghosted between the bars, but she found it a small mercy anyway. If she were to die here, at least she would die in the sight of the sun, with its strength soaking her bones.
She wrapped her fingers around the sheets of nano, straining to close numb hands, working her fists to move the blood inside. They came back to her in bursts of pins and needles, bursts of static along her chastened nerves. The effort broke her scabs, and more blood ran from her wounds, dripped along her spine, outlined a buttock's curve. The blood was hotter than the sunlight.
She would not weep for her wings. She would not weep here at all. Not for anything.
She pulled at her chains again, and again, and only stopped when she heard the echo of a footstep on the stair.
Rien came down spiraling polycarbonate steps, one elbow brushing the wall for balance as she steadied a tray on her hands. Sunlight falling through the stairs cast her shadow on the welded floor seven stories below. Her shoes tinkled on the high-impact plastic, the sound ringing back from roof and walls.
The prisoner would know that she was coming, which of course was the design.
At the bottom of the stair was an arched doorway into a short passage. There was no door, nor any need of one; no one who could escape nano chains would be forestalled by anything as fragile as a material barrier. Rien passed the locked and trapped controls and stepped through into the spacious, well-lit dungeon.
Perceval hung in her bonds like a marionette from a rack, head lolling and fingers drooping limp. She did not stir when Rien entered, but Rien thought she saw the quick gleam of a flickering eye. "I've brought food," she said, and set the tray on a rack beside the door.
The food was quinoa, porridge, steamed and sweetened with honey and soy milk, and a jug of peppermint tisane. Simple fare, but nourishing: the same breakfast Rien had partaken of, though colder now. Rien picked up the bowl, a transparent plastic spoon, and an absorbent shock-wove napkin and crossed the chamber to where the prisoner hung, silhouetted by falling light. "Lift up your head," Rien said, trying to sound stern. "I know that you're awake."
Fortunately, the bowl was durable. Because when the prisoner lifted up her head, and blinked eyes the same color and transparency as the peppermint tea, and said "Hello, Rien," Rien dropped it.
Dust closed his eyes and leaned back in a chair beside the conjured fire. Of course real fire was an impossibility here, a terror that would devour irreplaceable oxygen and fill air-tight spaces with killing smoke, but the flicker and warmth and light of the programmed counterfeit would serve, him who was a counterfeit himself.
He put his feet up and listened to the downpour flooding the battlements. It rushed over polycarbonate-paned windows and poured out the rough-beaked snouts of precision-molded raingutters, beaded on mossy outcrops and thundered down the ragged shoulders of his house.
The sky creaked overhead. Somewhere deep in the bowels of the world, a conduit had broken. The unseasonable rain would continue until the world's blood healed the wound; Dust's anchore would be washed with water needed, no doubt, in far holdes and domaines. There was no sunlight here in the core, except whatever reflected through the long lensed and mirrored channels from the skin of the world, but there was water a-plenty. Half the pipes in the world twisted across his sky.
He breathed the chill air, and smiled. The rain washing his house tickled his skin, the memory of a caress though he had not felt such a thing in centuries.
He had lost the rest of the world when he lost the rest of himself, but all that occurred here, he knew. He retained that, though he was not what he had been.
His ring caught on the placket as he tucked one hand into a white-and-silver brocaded waistcoat and felt for his watch. The chain fell cold and silver between his fingers, as if the rain ran through them too.
He raised it to his eye, neither lifting his eyelid nor exposing the crystal. He did not need the watch, the glance, or the gesture.
He knew the time; it ticked out within him with atomic regularity. But the ceremony pleased him nonetheless.
"Nearing midnight," he said to an empty chamber, voice ringing on stone walls and hushed by hand-knotted carpets. Dust sat upright, opening his eyes, tucking his watch away. White sleeves billowed as he stood and walked to the window, where a watery light struggled: the reflected sun's doomed but valiant attempt to shine through the sheeting water.
"All but midnight already," he said, and streaked the condensation on the plastic with a casual finger. The house rubbed into his caress. "And so much to be done."
He plucked a glass of brandy from the air, swirling the liquor under his nose. It smelled sharply of real rain--as the rain could not--and chocolate, atomized molecules tickling his receptors, and he smiled when he tasted it.
He spoke to the rain, as if through it the world could hear him, though he knew the world had gone deaf long before. But memory was what he had, memory and ritual, and a flair for the melodramatic honed through centuries of study.
"By the elements, by the ten directions. I have not forgotten. My name is Jacob Dust. And I have not forgotten."
He could see through the rain if he chose to, stretch out his senses to the skin of the world. He could attenuate himself, reach broad, grow into mist and brush as if with invisible fingertips the transparent skin of the world, reach out beyond it, into the cold empty darkness beyond, where the light of the stars and the sun burned eternally. He could stroke the vast cratered hide, its twisted sun-shades and solar panels, the old wounds and injuries that there simply were not resources to repair. He could reach out into all the holdes and anchores and domaines, into the chambers and vaults of the world, into its long-cold engines and still-hot reactor cores, through the homes of Mean and noble alike, into the courts of Engine and Rule. He could stroke the cheek of an exiled prince, and of a princess who would be King, and of Perceval in her dungeon chains.
And only the angels would know.
But world was vast, and vastly broken, limping in its desolate orbit around a shipwreck star. And Jacob Dust was not what he had been, when he and the world were whole. He could do these things, if he chose to. But the effort would exhaust him.
He raised his right hand to his mouth and neatly, with snaggled white teeth, began to nibble the flesh from the bone, chasing each dainty tidbit with a sip of liquor, wincing a bit when he had to tug, and skin tore.
I am pleased to note that apparently I can learn, as I am now working on chapter two and the old lessons of the tensioning expert--ESCALATE! ESCALATE! ESCALATE!--are ringing in my ears.
Man, I hope this stays fun for a while.

Another classic character from The Next Generation may be returning for Star Trek: Picard season 2. LeVar Burton has revealed that he has been in discussions for a possible return as Geordi La Forge. Should it come to pass, and Burton seems optimistic about things, it would mark a long-awaited reunion between Geordi and Jean Luc Picard.
Star Trek: Picard season 1 recently wrapped up its run on CBS All Access. The streaming service renewed the show for a second season early on, which means work is already well underway. During a recent interview, LeVar Burton, who starred alongside Patrick Stewart on The Next Generation, was asked if he's had conversations about reprising his role. Here's what Burton had to say about it.
"I think it is reasonable to assume that those people are still a part of Picard's life...Sure what the hell. Yeah! Absolutely. [laughs]... You will see us all. Probably not all at the same time, although, never say never."
Season 1 featured quite a few stars from TNG including Brent Spiner as Data, Jonathan Frakes as Riker, Marina Sirtis as Troi and Jonathan Del Arco as Hugh. Voyager star Jeri Ryan also reprised her role as Seven of Nine. LeVar Burton was one of the biggest missing pieces of the puzzle. We haven't seen Geordi La Forge on screen since the 2002 movie Star Trek: Nemesis. Speaking further, Burton explained that he's discussed what he thinks Geordi should be up to when we see him again.
"I have suggested to the producers that we find Geordi in a position where he is teaching and passing that knowledge and information on to another generation. We'll see. Alex [Kurtzman] and the folks are in charge and they are doing an amazing job. When they call and whatever they want me to do, I'm pretty sure it is going to be spectacular."
This could easily be perceived as a callback to the other role LeVar Burton is most famous for, as host of Reading Rainbow. Burton is passionate about education and folding that into his role on Star Trek has an understandable appeal. As far as other stars from The Next Generation who could turn up in season 2, Gates McFadden's Dr. Crusher, Michael Dorn's Worf) and Wil Wheaton's Wesley Crusher have also yet to appear. It was previously revealed by Patrick Stewart on an episode of The View that Whoopi Goldberg will return as Guinan.
The main cast for the series includes Alison Pill (Dr. Agnes Jurati), Isa Briones (Dahj), Evan Evagora (Elnor), Michelle Hurd (Raffi Musiker), Santiago Cabrera (Cristobal Rios) and Harry Treadaway (Narek). There is no word yet on when season 2 will premiere, but the ongoing production shutdown will inevitably affect whatever plans CBS originally had in place. We'll be sure to keep you posted as any further details are made available. This news comes to us via Entertainment Tonight.

MIHRAB OF CORDOBA
The Beautiful Mihrab (Prayer Niche) is of the most beautifully decorated parts of this great Mosque. A crescent arch with a rectangular surround known as an alfiz . The leader Al-Hakim II asked the emperor of Byzantium, to send him a mosaicist capable of imitating the superb mosaics of the Great Mosque of Damascus, one of the great 8th-century Syrian Umayyad buildings. The Christian emperor sent the Caliph not only a mosaicist but also a gift of 1600kg of gold mosaic cubes, shaped into flower motifs and inscriptions from the Quran. This gold is what gives the mihrab its sparkle.

Ishmael A. Junourgh, Walewale, Wed, Sept 7, 2018, 9:26pm
West Mamprusi Municipality in the Northern Region is in sanitation crisis with over 91,643 persons in Walewale Township alone still drinking from streams, says, the Community Water and Sanitation System Manager in Walewale, Mr. Ibrahim Mohammed.
But, the Municipal Chief Executive, (MCE) Mr. Mohammed Abu said ‘it is not easy’ and that Walewale, the Municipal Capital would be zoned and sanitation officers assigned to watch over each zone and bring perpetrators to book.
In the meantime, Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.2 expects by 2030, every community to achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations. Also, 6.2.1 expects proportion of population using safely managed sanitation services, including a hand-washing facility with soap and water.
But this may be a mirage in Walewale because most public toilets are not hygienic for use, and household toilets in the municipality are a difficult situation, forcing some of the natives to do open defecation. Drainage system in the Municipality is choked and it is an eyesore to see rain water spilling into homes, shops and every available space for escape.
At wungu community, the seat of the over lord of Walewale Traditional Area, all toilets are choked and closed down except one, which is inadequate per the population size.
Water as a major component of sanitation
Access to water—serious component of sanitation—is poor in the Municipality.
In the raining season the population depends on few low yielding boreholes and streams; in the dry season too, they rely on tricycle operators to draw water from wells in low-land areas for sale to them.
When contacted at his office, a day ago, the MCE blamed the situation on ‘low water table’ condition of the town.
He said that the Municipality was a beneficiary of a World Bank project to sink and mechanised a number of boreholes-for-water from areas with good water table to supply the town.
On sanitation, he said it was better at the rural communities than in Walewale town.
He hinted that the Municipality was to zone out the town and assigned sanitation officers to watch over each zone and make sure that those who would fail to comply with approved sanitation rules were brought to order.
