Adapting Detective Fiction: Crime, Englishness and the TV Detectives (Continuum Literary Studies) (Paperback)
Adapting Detective Fiction is a study of specific instances of adaptation, with close readings of both the originating sources and adapted texts. But it is also more than this. It is a study of the politics of representation in the last decades of the twentieth century, and the role television detective fiction plays in this. It is about the mutually-informing interrelation of cultural texts and political rhetoric, about the connection between the popular-cultural depiction of crime and criminality and how we come to understand human behaviour and culpability; most of all, it is a detailed consideration of what the process of adaptation reveals about the shifting nature of the world in which we live. With specific reference to television series such as The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple, Inspector Morse, A Touch of Frost, Cadfael, and Midsomer Murders, Adapting Detective Fiction uses adaptation as the basis for an exercise in later twentieth-century cultural history, illustrating the fundamental role detective fictions play in popular beliefs about the nature of crime and Englishness.
Neil McCaw is Senior Lecturer in English and Creative Writing at the University of Winchester, UK.

InterVarsity Press Authors Win Prestigious Pollock Award
Mark Noll and Carolyn Nystrom, authors of Clouds of Witnesses: Christian Voices from Africa and Asia (IVP Books), received the 2012 John Pollock Award for Christian Biography. The award will be presented to Noll and Nystrom at Beeson Divinity School on April 3, 2012.
Clouds of Witnesses introduces seventeen pivotal Christian leaders from Africa and Asia, unfolding the significant influence and powerful life stories of saints many may not easily recognize. Andy Le Peau, associate publisher for editorial at InterVarsity Press, acknowledges the importance of such a book. "Over half of all Christians now live outside the West," says Le Peau. "We need to know the back story of the great Christian pioneers from Africa and Asia whose vision, sacrifice and openness to the Spirit over the last century have laid the foundation for this vast movement."
Noll, a long-time admirer of Pollock's many biographies including that of the great William Wilberforce, shares Le Peau's enthusiasm for this prestigious distinction, particularly the recognition it brings to non-Western voices that have shaped Christianity.
"It is an honor to receive this award," says Noll. "I know I speak for my coauthor Carolyn Nystrom as well in saying that we both learned a great deal, and were greatly encouraged in our own spiritual lives by the research that lay behind this book. We are glad to think that the award may alert others to the possibility of learning more about the noteworthy Christian believers in Asia and Africa who are profiled in the book."
"The prestige of the Pollock Award not only underlines the quality of Clouds of Witnesses but draws attention to the importance of its topic," says Le Peau. "We owe a great debt of gratitude to Mark Noll and Carolyn Nystrom for telling us about these heroes of the faith with such insight and verve."
The Pollock Award, named for the great Christian biographer John C. Pollock, is presented annually by Beeson Divinity School (Samford University) for the year's most outstanding Christian biography. Past winners include Eric Metaxas for Bonhoeffer, Alan Jacobs for The Narnian and Timothy Dudley-Smith for John Stott. Clouds of Witnesses is unique in that it's the first coauthored book to win the Pollock Award as well as the first winner to comprise multiple biographies.
In addition to the April 3 award presentation, Noll will speak at the Beeson Divinity School chapel the same day at 11 a.m. as part of Beeson’s World Christianity Focus week.

Deford stated “It would seem to me that reality TV is nothing more than a form of sport. It’s competition, a game, but on a coast-to-coast bias it’s more emotionally appealing than many of our sports.” This is true because there are so many sports teams and it’s hard to keep up with all of them, but with reality TV it’s on one day a week and you can relate to the people because you actually have time to get to know them. Comparing reality TV and sports can show the similarities and differences, and who people would prefer to watch.
Reality TV has a small number of competitors and you get to hear each one’s story and get to know them each separately. When you know the contestants you can decide whether you want to root for them or against them, it’s the familiarity in these shows. The elements that make a classic reality TV show would be; drama, scandal, money, adultery and crime. These elements are what excites and pulls the viewer in, and that’s why people love to watch. To be honest it would be much more exciting to watch Survivor, people fighting all the elements of nature to try to outwit, outplay and outlast or watch the clock wind down in the 1st quarter of an NFL football game. People watch reality TV for vain reasons. We like to look at others in comparison to ourselves instead of as equals. We like the chaos it showcases because, for most of us, it reminds us how better off or somewhat normal we are.
On the other hand with sports there are a variety of teams for each state and you have to keep up with their schedule. “There is just too many teams playing too many games”, stated by Frank Deford. That’s the main reason why sports in this country suffer. Then again, the support for athleticism is tremendous in America. People love getting together, ordering food and watching the game together. Especially football, Sunday football is serious in some households. Unfortunately now if you turn on any of the sports networks you’ll find all the same elements...

University Archives Celebrates Boston Public Schools Library Program, New Acquisitions
When a friend invited then-parent volunteer Chris Lopez to take a course at UMass Boston called “Books and the City Child,” she didn’t really want to become a librarian. This month, this reluctant librarian is celebrating her retirement from the Boston Public Schools.
“Library paraprofessionals built the library system in the Boston Public Schools — mothers who wanted to help their schools – that’s how it started. Then they found a slot and they hired us all,” Lopez said.
Lopez and about a dozen other graduates of the Boston Public Schools Library Program attended a reunion recently at the Joseph P. Healey Library. The University Archives and Special Collections Department event also served as a celebration of the program staff, including Polly Welts Kaufman, who taught women’s history at UMass Boston and, beginning in 1970, “Books and the City Child” and “Library and the City Child” for the BPS program.
“I wanted the mothers to have some formal training in children’s literature and the special needs of children and young adults in city schools. I also wanted them to become paid and trained paraprofessionals,” Kaufman said.
Together with the wife of former UMass Boston chancellor Frank Broderick, Barbara Broderick, Kaufman came up with a plan to give library volunteers the chance to take two free classes for college credit that she and other instructors would teach for their BPS salaries.
Kaufman donated her research on the development of the BPS program, as well as her research on Boston women and city school politics, and a quilt to the UMass Boston library archives. The family of Margaret Brown, who also taught the library courses, also donated a quilt. Both quilts document the foundation of 100 school libraries in the city of Boston between 1966 and 1974. The women received the quilts at the opening of the 100th library, at Oliver Hazard Perry School in South Boston, in 1974.
In speaking about her mother, Margaret Brown, Peggy White said, “She reveled in the collaboration that such a grand project as this required – so many people working together so creatively to bring libraries to so many schools. She loved her job because she believed in empowering women, because she loved working with them, and she absolutely loved seeing her passionate interest in connecting children to books and reading come to fruition.”
“Our responsibility is to archive ‘materials of enduring historical value,’” University Archivist Joanne Riley said in her opening remarks. “All [of this] definitely falls into [that] category.”
Martha “Mike” Redding, who started as a volunteer at George Frisbie Hoar School in South Boston and went on to become a district coordinator for Boston School Volunteers, called the courses life-changing.
“Those taking the courses had solid college experience, which enabled them not only to serve school volunteers but also how to move forward in their education and their careers,” Redding said.
Lopez says the UMass Boston course set her up for a lifetime of learning.
“It was the best job I ever had in my life,” Lopez said. “Being the reluctant librarian.”

Recently, the authoritative publication The National Interest released an article about the double standards of the West on the Karabakh issue. We have addressed to the Director of the Center for History of the Caucasus, a senior researcher at the Institute of Law and Human Rights of ANAS Rizvan Huseynov to clarify this issue.
Do you think the West has dual approach in this matter and, if so, what is it?
There is no doubt that the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is one of the tools of promotion of the interests of both the West and Russia in the South Caucasus. At the same time, neither Russia nor the West can treat equally the parties of the conflict – Armenia and Azerbaijan. In any case, most of the sympathy is on the side of Armenia, because the factor that the Armenians are presented as Christians, which found themselves in a hostile Muslim Turkic environment, plays its role here. Western society feels obliged to support the “Christian Armenia”, although it is not often openly talked about. Another factor is that the United States, Russia and France: the co-chair countries of the OSCE Minsk Group – the entity, which is engaged in the settlement of the Karabakh conflict, are home to the large and active number of Armenians. Therefore, the Armenian factor plays a major role in domestic and foreign policy of the USA, Russia and France – as a result, these countries are not expected to take a prudent and unbiased approach to Azerbaijan and the Karabakh conflict.
Azerbaijan puts forward a just demand to return the territories occupied by Armenian Armed Forces – all countries agree with that, however every effort is being made to maintain the status quo and the continuation of the occupation of Azerbaijani territories. That is, a double standard is evident, while support for Azerbaijan’s position is being formally declared, but in reality we see every possible delay in resolution of the conflict and pressure on Azerbaijan to make concessions to the aggressor Armenia. This double standard policy heats the situation around the Karabakh conflict and results in bloody clashes that took place in early April 2016. Impunity of the aggressor Armenia and the silence of the world community forces Azerbaijan to solve the Karabakh issue through military and political means.

The only enviable light bulb of last year is back. Light bulb envy sounds petty, but when Brit Insurance Design of the Year winners are involved, it isn’t. The inevitable phasing out of traditional lightbulbs with ugly eco replacements was all getting a bit dull yet Samuel Wilkinson and Hulger’s curvy, stylish Plumen 001 was an unexpected design solution to new EU regulations and obviously welcomed happily last year. “It’s a bulb that doesn’t need a shade and so goes a long way to make up for the loss of the Edison original,” said Design Museum stpremo Deyan Sudjic.
This week sees the release of the Baby Plumen 00, a shrunken version of the original, not losing any charm its counterpart has, so brilliant for shaking up your lighting options. Can we have a supersize Plumen next, please?

When William Brennan was named to the Supreme Court in September, 1956, the story was overshadowed on the Chicago Tribune`s front page by the National League pennant race and a strike at a local meatpacking plant. When the Senate confirmed him six months later, after hearings that apparently generated little interest in the Senate or the public, the event was noted on page 3 of section 3-underneath the comics.
David Souter, who is about to get a more thorough and far less charitable inspection than most people get from prospective spouses, may wish for that sort of obscurity, but he`ll wish in vain. In the last generation the Supreme Court has grown enormously in news importance because it has grown enormously in power. It has grown enormously in power partly because of the justice who announced his retirement last Friday.
Brennan was the primary architect of the court`s transformation, which became the country`s transformation. When he arrived on the court, its decision outlawing racial segregation in public schools was just two years old, and years away from being realized. The direction of the Warren Court, which legal scholars say could aptly be called the Brennan Court, was still undetermined.
The court had yet to demand that states as well as the federal government honor the guarantees of the Bill of Rights. It had yet to rule that criminal suspects couldn`t be convicted with illegally seized evidence, or that they had to be informed of their rights before being interrogated by police, or that they had to be provided a lawyer if they couldn`t afford one. It had yet to evict officially sponsored prayers from the public schools.
It had not enfranchised black and Hispanic citizens denied the right to vote by Southern states. It had not upheld the principle of ``one person, one vote`` in the apportionment of state legislatures. It had not discovered a right to privacy, much less a right to abortion.
It had not, in short, become what the court is today: the final judge of many of the most controversial public issues, issues previously decided by elected representatives. In the minds of some critics, it has produced what Thomas Jefferson feared: ``To consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.``
Brennan may have been too willing to accept that possibility, because he was wary of a different danger, namely the tyranny of the majority. He was often wrong-in his opinions upholding affirmative action plans, in his vote to strike down laws against abortion-but he was right in recognizing that some vital tasks in a free society can be performed only by the judiciary.
Conservative critics of judicial activism are fond of depicting judges as unelected usurpers threatening the survival of democratic government. But the U.S. Constitution is not the pure distillation of democracy. It is a shrewd blend of the democratic and the anti-democratic. It represents the founders`
faith in the people and fear of the people.
The majority, acting through elected officials, is entrusted with a lot of vital decisions: levying taxes, waging war, providing public services, issuing money, handling relations with foreign countries, and so on. On matters where the government can act without trespassing on the fundamental liberties of its people, the majority has more or less a free hand.
Its powers end, though, where the individual`s rights begin. The framers of the Constitution didn`t adopt a Bill of Rights merely as an exhortation to legislators to behave nicely. They did so to frustrate the preferences of the majority. They left it to judges to carry out that mission.
But when the majority is frustrated, it looks for political relief. As the Supreme Court has enlarged its role as a check on the democratically elected branches of government, it has also given the democratically elected branches a powerful new interest in the court.
If the people are going to have to accept increasing numbers of decrees by judges, they are going to impose more exacting standards for who becomes a judge-including standards about how they should rule on issues of political importance. That`s why the coming confirmation hearings will be more like the ideological brawl provoked by Robert Bork`s nomination than the decorous, perfunctory process that was once the custom.
The old ritual has been doomed by the growth of judicial power as surely as the buggy whip industry was doomed by the rise of the automobile. Souter has Brennan to thank for his chance to join the Supreme Court, but he also has Brennan to blame for what he`ll have to endure to get there.

(October 18, 2019) A 62-year-old Mountain View man authorities say ran an unlicensed medical marijuana dispensary told potential jurors Wednesday that he is being prosecuted for providing sick people with an “uninterrupted supply” of medical-grade cannabis for “compassionate use” — something he said the state failed to do when it passed a medical cannabis law in 2000.
Mike Ruggles, who is representing himself, made the pronouncement during the second day of jury selection in his trial before Hilo Circuit Judge Greg Nakamura.
The longtime marijuana activist is charged with first-degree promotion of a detrimental drug and possession of drug paraphernalia, both Class C felonies punishable by up to five years imprisonment upon conviction.
Ruggles originally faced several more serious offenses, including first-degree commercial promotion of marijuana and first-degree promotion of a harmful drug, Class A felonies punishable by up to 20 years imprisonment upon conviction. The state, however, reduced charges prior to trial, according to Deputy Prosecutor Rick Damerville.
According to police, a search warrant executed Sept. 10, 2015, on Ruggles’ Pikake Street property in Fern Acres netted 134 marijuana plants, 49.3 pounds of dried processed marijuana, 1.2 pounds and 357 capsules of marijuana concentrate, 5.5 pounds of marijuana edibles, $1,846 in cash for forfeiture, a loaded pistol, a loaded shotgun and a 15-round magazine for a pistol.
Police say they obtained the search warrant after an undercover officer bought 48.2 grams of processed marijuana and a vaping device with a vial of marijuana concentrate from Ruggles five days earlier.
The undercover officer had a letter from a physician stating he had started the process to obtain a medical marijuana card, police said. The application was made using the officer’s undercover identity, not his real name.
“Mr. Ruggles is charged with the sale of marijuana to someone who is not legally eligible to receive marijuana,” Damerville told prospective jurors. “And if the evidence proves that beyond a reasonable doubt, could you find Mr. Ruggles guilty of that offense, even though you may not feel it’s all that important of an offense to bring before a jury? Could you do that?”
A man in the jury box replied, “No, I cannot, sir. Tobacco’s been proven to be harmful. Marijuana, the verdict’s still out on that.”
The man said he doesn’t know Ruggles but lives on the same street and added, “He’s not the danger to my well-being and safety of my community. My neighbors know that.”
Damerville asked if he thought authorities had the right to enforce laws regarding the health of the community, and the man — who said he has a medical marijuana card — replied, “I don’t think it’s violating the health of the community.”
The prosecutor then brought up recent warnings about vaping, summing up a recent Honolulu Star-Advertiser article that reported “something like five out of the eight dispensaries, their marijuana concentrate cartridges were not up to the Department of Health standards.”
At the time of his arrest, Ruggles was openly operating what he called the Alternative Pain Management Pu‘uhonua Collective, which he advertised on YouTube and maintained is a legal way for medical cannabis patients to obtain their medicine.
When it was his turn Wednesday, Ruggles used an analogy involving carrots to make the point that prior to the Legislature’s authorization of dispensaries, the state didn’t specify how medical marijuana patients could legally obtain marijuana.
“Now, I think a reasonable person, like you folks, would believe — because I always believed this and so did all our members — was that if the state says you’re allowed to do something but stands silent on it, well, you can do it any way you want. Doesn’t that sound reasonable?”
At that point, Damerville objected and a bench conference ensued.
Ruggles also disputed that his vape products were unsafe, saying his operation had a gas chromatography machine to test products.
“In 2015, before dispensaries, it was impossible for sick people to get medicine,” he said. “… I met with (County Prosecutor) Mitch Roth twice, because I was pointing out, hey, I got 150 people here dying. Over 20 of our members were hospice members. These people, it was a pleasure to serve them, and it was a pleasure to help them pass on.
“Right now, we got an opioid epidemic in America,” he continued. “… In 2016, you got 115 people a day dying from opioids. There’s never been a documented case of anybody dying of … cannabis. In 2012, I lost my wife to opioids. And my daughters had to watch her die. And I can tell you this, as someone who’s done hospice for a few years, a death on opioids is not a decent death. It’s not a death with dignity. You’re on opioids, you’re sick, your stomach’s upset, you can’t eat, you’re constipated — and you’re not happy. You can’t spend time with your friends and loved ones in a quality condition. Whereas, if you use cannabis, you can do all those things. You can feel better. You can eat. … Nobody has ever overdosed on marijuana.”
Jury summons were sent to 250 people, 10 more than for last year’s trial of Sean Rutledge, who was convicted of murdering his mother, Nadean Rutledge.
There also is a list of 160 potential witnesses, mostly for the defense. The list includes Jennifer Ruggles, the defendant’s daughter and a former County Council member; Roth; and numerous political figures and law enforcement officers.
“You saw the witness list.” Damerville told jurors. “Did any of you have a reaction of, ‘Oh my God, this witness list. We’re gonna be here forever.’ Did anybody have that reaction?”
An audible murmur rose from the courtroom.
“OK, the state intends to call seven witnesses in this case,” the prosecutor said. “And the state intends to move this case along as quickly as we can. … I am the oldest prosecutor in the state of Hawaii. And based on my experience, this case is not gonna take three weeks. It’s not gonna take two weeks.”
The state is expected to call witnesses and present evidence when the trial resumes at 9:30 a.m. Monday.

LeBron arrives at basketball camp
AKRON, Ohio (AP)
The LeBronathon drags on.
Still keeping his plans a closely guarded secret, LeBron James arrived at his summer camp Tuesday more than four hours after he was scheduled to appear. His tardiness only renewed speculation about where the NBA's marquee free agent will continue his career, a move that has fans, franchises and several cities on edge.
Driving a customized Dodge silver pickup truck, James pulled into the parking area next to Rhodes Arena at 3:15 p.m., accompanied by former Cleveland teammate Damon Jones. Wearing a white Nike T-shirt and orange shorts, James did not address the media or appear to be ready to work out.
He entered the building and walked onto the floor while some of the nation's top college players were finishing up their second workout on Day 2 of the LeBron James Skills Academy. The two-time MVP sat on a sideline table before moving to a courtside chair. Shortly after he arrived, his two young sons, LeBron Jr. and Bryce, came in with former high school teammates Dru Joyce III and Romeo Travis.
James' only message came on his new Twitter account, which quickly rocketed to 100,000 followers.
On Monday, James made a surprise appearance at the first day of his camp with Paul and played a few full-court games against the college kids.
As he goes about his business, the league awaits word on what he'll do next.
James met with six teams last week, including the Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls, who are believed to be the front-runners to sign him. Other teams could be positioning themselves to make another run after making their initial presentations.
While James is the star attraction in this summer's stacked free-agent class, other free agents have either stayed home or found a new one. On Monday, Amare Stoudemire agreed to a five-year deal with the New York Knicks and said he would continue to recruit James to join him.
Like James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh have remained noncommittal about where they'll sign.

Money in the Bank: WWE NFT Flips Launch For Live Event
WWE NFT Flips, the second NFT collection, will be released this week on the official WWE NFT marketplace. The launch occurs right before Saturday’s WWE event MONEY IN THE BANK. As a result, the collectibles will showcase the major WWE performers who will be present at the event.
The WWE NFT Flips drop looks how?
For fans of WWE, this week is crucial as the entertainment giant gears up for Saturday’s MONEY IN THE BANK extravaganza. Some of the top WWE performers will be present there: Seth “Freakin” Rollins, Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch, Liv Morgan, and others.
WWE will debut a brand-new NFT collection on its dedicated marketplace, Moonsault, to commemorate the occasion. There will be three NFTs (Flips) in each case of the “WWE NFT Flips” drop.
Collectors can experience their preferred superstars as NFTs for $30 each piece. As a result, each NFT will present a video highlight of the superstar it represents. A few days after the MONEY IN THE BANK event, the unveiling will happen.
How much are WWE collectibles worth?
The NFT Flips drop includes limited-edition items to start. Each digital asset will provide its owners with Metaverse functionality. Each digital asset includes prominent WWE performers, thus the collections probably have long-term worth.
In any case, the prior NFT collection, which debuted on May 27, was a huge hit. The premium event HELL IN A CELL from last month served as the inspiration for the drop. In reality, the launch served as Moonsault’s formal introduction to the NFT market, which serves as the official WWE store.

Please welcome Douglas Corleone as a guest blogger to Crime Fiction Collective. With a last name like his, is the title of his post such a surprise?
DOUGLAS CORLEONE is the author of the Kevin Corvelli crime novels set in Honolulu. His debut novel ONE MAN’S PARADISE was a finalist for the 2010 Shamus Award for Best First Novel and won the 2009 Minotaur Books / Mystery Writers of America First Crime Novel Award. Doug’s third novel LAST LAWYER STANDING will be released on August 21, 2012.
A former New York City criminal defense attorney, Doug now resides on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu, where he is currently at work on his next novel.
Many authors are loathe to do it, and for good reason. Killing off a regular character in a series can be hazardous to your career. Receiving angry letters from readers is just one of the reasons to keep your regular characters among the living. There are other risks; a supporting character could be more important to an author’s series than he or she realizes. Removing such a character could be like removing part of the foundation from a perfectly fine house of cards. Or worse, a vital organ from a living, breathing work of art.
In suspense fiction, killing off a regular character can also have an upside. The entire goal of suspense fiction is to keep readers on edge. Killing off a regular character leaves your readers wondering who you’ll kill off next. By killing a regular character, you’re opening a whole new door of endless possibilities. Taking away the safety net – the heart-warming sense of “oh, he’s too important to die” – can really shake up a series that might otherwise be running out of steam.
Killing off a regular character also gives your protagonist a terrific opportunity to grow emotionally. If you find your hero unchanging from book to book, you may want to do something to turn his world upside down. Kill off a spouse or a sibling or a business partner and see how your protagonist reacts to the death. Is he resilient? Or will he crumple? Pick himself off the floor or fall deeper into the bottle?
Maybe even make your hero directly or indirectly responsible for that death. Guilt is an emotion that many of us can only wish on a fictional character – that’s how powerful it is.
One alternative to killing off a character is sending him somewhere he can’t come back from. That’s the approach I take in my third Kevin Corvelli novel Last Lawyer Standing. Although I won’t give away his name, the character who leaves the third book first appeared in my debut One Man’s Paradise. He’s one of my favorites and I already missed him during the writing of a short story I recently submitted to Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine.
Of course, it would be easier to kill off a regular character who no one likes – and it could have nearly as much impact to the series. A nemesis or an annoying in-law can exit stage left and actually improve the series overall. I can think of a few characters I’d like to see vanish in some of my favorite series. Unfortunately, it would probably be unethical – if not unlawful – to kill them off in my own books.
Are there any killed-off characters you wish were still alive in your favorite series? Any examples in which a hero gained depth through the death of a regular character? I'm looking to reading responses below.
"A perfect blend of mystery and thriller, with laugh out loud moments sprinkled liberally throughout. Corleone is as good as it gets.”
~ David Rosenfelt, National Bestselling Author of the Andy Carpenter mystery novels

Salvatore introduces a new open source message broker with a simple API and explains the motivations and the fundamental design choices that lead to Disque’s AP design with synchronous replication and optional persistence, enabling guaranteed message delivery and fault tolerance.
Check out the Disque Github repository!
Disque is an ongoing experiment to build a distributed, in memory, message broker. Its goal is to capture the essence of the "Redis as a jobs queue" use case, which is usually implemented using blocking list operations, and move it into an ad-hoc, self-contained, scalable, and fault tolerant design, with simple to understand properties and guarantees, but still resembling Redis in terms of simplicity, performances, and implementation as a C non-blocking networked server.
Disque is a synchronously replicated job queu. By default when a new job is added, it is replicated to W nodes before the client gets an acknowledge about the job being added. W-1 nodes can fail and still the message will be delivered.
Disque supports both at-least-once and at-most-once delivery semantics. At least once delivery semantics is where most efforts were spent in the design and implementation, while the at most once semantics is a trivial result of using a retry time set to 0 (which means, never re-queue the message again) and a replication factor of 1 for the message (not strictly needed, but it is useless to have multiple copies of a message around if it will be delivered at most one time). You can have, at the same time, both at-least-once and at-most-once jobs in the same queues and nodes, since this is a per message setting.
Disque at-least-once delivery is designed to approximate single delivery when possible, even during certain kinds of failures. This means that while Disque can only guarantee a number of deliveries equal or greater to one, it will try hard to avoid multiple deliveries whenever possible.
Disque is a distributed system where all nodes have the same role (aka, it is multi-master). Producers and consumers can attach to whatever node they like, and there is no need for producers and consumers of the same queue, to stay connected to the same node. Nodes will automatically exchange messages based on load and client requests.
Disque is Available (it is an eventually consistent AP system in CAP terms): producers and consumers can make progresses as long as a single node is reachable.
Disque supports optional asynchronous commands that are low latency for the client but provide less guarantees. For example a producer can add a job to a queue with a replication factor of 3, but may want to run away before knowing if the contacted node was really able to replicate it to the specified number of nodes or not. The node will replicate the message in the background in a best effort way.
Disque automatically re-queues messages that are not acknowledged as already processed by consumers, after a message-specific retry time. There is no need for consumers to re-queue a message if it was not processed.
Disque uses explicit acknowledges in order for a consumer to signal a message as delivered (or, using a different terminology, to signal a job as already processed).
Disque queues only provides best effort ordering. Each queue sorts messages based on the job creation time, which is obtained using the wall clock of the local node where the message was created (plus an incremental counter for messages created in the same millisecond), so messages created in the same node are normally delivered in the same order they were created. This is not causal ordering since correct ordering is violated in different cases: when messages are re-issued because not acknowledged, because of nodes local clock drifts, and when messages are moved to other nodes for load balancing and federation (in this case you end with queues having jobs originated in different nodes with different wall clocks). However all this also means that normally messages are not delivered in random order and usually messages created first are delivered first.
