Inspired by Sheridan Voysey and Amy Boucher Pye, last January I started keeping a list of every book I read in 2015. The results are almost too embarrassing to share, mainly because it looks to me as though I have done hardly any reading over the last twelve months. If you’ve just glanced down at the list and decided that I must be attempting some kind of humble-brag, you need to understand that before I had children, I used to read books more than most people eat. Reading was me. It was what I did. I couldn’t help it. And then I went to university, where it was quite a normal week’s workload to read two novels, and all the criticism that had been written about them, and another novel by the same author to get some context, and a couple of books that inspired or influenced the two novels, and then write an essay comparing them. So noticing that there were some months in 2015 in which I only read one short book shows me that me reading has a long way to go before it’s fully recovered from the impact of children! At least there are no blank months; and I seem to have mostly got over my bleary-eyed, sleep-deprived days of reading nothing but Asterix comics and Christian chick-lit intended for teenagers. Anyway, for anyone interested, here’s what I thought of what I read in 2015.
The Labyrinth Year, Mari Howard: (Written by an ACW friend. Here’s my review written at the time:) I’ve been waiting eagerly for this sequel to ‘Baby, Baby’, and enjoyed meeting all the characters again. The central theme of the labyrinth (and, crucially, how it is different to a maze) is woven cleverly through the whole, reflecting the twists and turns of the plot and leading to a particularly satisfying and thought-provoking ending.
Mari Howard’s skill as a storyteller is evident, for me, through the fact that the plot and the characters kept me turning the pages and hooked into the story, despite the fact that the writing style would not have been my personal choice: it’s dense writing, switching between characters, some told in first person and others in third, with lots of half-finished sentences and unconventional punctuation. There were also a few continuity errors due to the late 90s dating of the story - I’m fairly sure that nobody said ‘OMG’ before the turn of the millenium, and a film is mentioned that didn’t appear until 2002 - but again, these were small hiccups in a good story that was grippingly crafted to keep me on the edge of my seat.
The Giver, Lois Lowry - Lois Lowry was my favourite author as a pre-teen, and I read most of her books repeatedly until I had them nearly memorised. This one came out after I had ‘grown out of’ Lois Lowry, but it won lots of prizes and caused lots of controversy so I thought I’d give it a go. It was superb. I must read the rest of the trilogy.
Chasing Francis, Ian Morgan Cron: I really enjoyed this scenic novel about a pastor encountering the life of St Francis. Both gripping and fascinating. It’s on my re-read list.
Losing Face, Annie Try: Written by a fellow member of ACW, this was a great teen novel about the recovery, spiritual and physical, of a girl who is disfigured in an accident. It was written using formats such as texts and e-mails, giving it a very contemporary voice. Apparently a sequel is planned, which I will be looking out for.
The Cactus Stabbers, Jeff Lucas: In 2014 I read Jeff Lucas’s Faith in the Fog, which I thought was great, but I was rather disappointed by his writing in The Cactus Stabbers: it seemed unpolished and all a bit obvious. It was an OK light read for our boating holiday, though.
Faith, Hope and Poetry, Malcolm Guite (started): This is going to take a while to finish, because I have to be awake to read it properly, and have my journal nearby to take copious notes! It is so good to be reading something properly academic, though, and so very inspiring. Like sitting down to a proper meal after years of living on crisps and coke.
The Innocence of Father Brown, G K Chesterton - I now have an ambition to read everything Chesterton ever wrote, starting with more of these.
Never Mind the Reversing Ducks, Adrian Plass (re-reading) This can’t really have been my first re-read of the year, can it? I probably didn’t count them unless I actually re-read the whole book cover to cover; but I generally have at least one Adrian Plass on the go, and I’ve read all them before.
Unseen Footprints, Sheridan Voysey (Finished. Started sometime around Christmas and has been on hold!)
On This Day, Melody Carlson (re-read) Ahhh, summer, the time for re-reading very light and undemanding books.
Adrian Plass: Cabbages for the King, Sacred Diary (several from the series) all re-reads!
M is for Autism: a surprisingly short story (I bought it on Kindle and expected a novel) but very well-written, from the perspective of a teen girl newly diagnosed with autism. It was put together by the girls from a school featured on a documentary I watched, but now can’t remember what it was called.
The Life You Never Expected, Andrew and Rachel Wilson: I was really torn about this book, and may have to write more about it later. On the one hand it offered a good and helpful, gospel-centred perspective from parents of autistic children; and I thought that their central image of the orange was an excellent metaphor for having children with special needs, much better than the ‘Holland’ one which is shared around so much. On the other hand, they kept using the phrase “There will be no autism in heaven”, which I found very difficult from an autistic advocate point of view. Yes, I definitely need to write a longer post about this one at some stage.
The Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year, Sue Townsend: this was a super, entertaining, just-the-right-amount-of-thought-provoking, perfect summer read.
CS Lewis: Broadcast Talks: Always good to read a bit of CS Lewis. Should do it much more often.
(Most of) God Knows, Joseph Heller: a really fascinating novel, using storytelling to explore the life of King David. It made me go back and check the original frequently! We were looking at the story of David in church at the time as well, so this offered a useful perspective. I didn’t read it all the way through, though; I ended up dipping in to look for certain episodes, which I’m sure spoiled the effect of the novel.
The Elements of Eloquence, Mark Forsyth: Brilliant. I took writing tips from it. I should have written them down.
The Unknown Unknown, Mark Forsyth: An essay, really, but if it calls itself a book on Kindle then it counts, right?
Storytelling booklets for Abimbola Gbemi Alao - We really enjoyed meeting this great storyteller at the Buckfast Abbey storytelling festival, so I was pleased to be asked to read her booklets and write some recommendations for them. I bought her novel, too (see September)
Twelve Curious Deaths in France, John Goldsmith: A very enjoyable book of short stories, ranging from amusing to horrifying, which does exactly what it says in the title. The quasi-factual nature of some of the stories meant that I spent about half an hour Googling after each chapter, trying to tease out fact from fiction. I suspect the author of having created a Wikipedia page. Highly recommended.
Minding Frankie, Maeve Binchy: Having mainly enjoyed short stories by Maeve Binchy, I hadn’t realised how tired her writing style gets after a while. It was a good story, but about half way through I stopped focusing on the plot and started counting the number of times she wrote that a character “took no prisoners” just before they started talking.
The Legendary Weaver, Abimbola Gbemi Alao: An interesting coming-of-age novel, combining a culture of storytelling and its stories with the experience of a young girl struck deaf through illness.
Finding Myself in Britain, Amy Boucher Pye: I loved this book, and have already reviewed it here.
Resilient, Sheridan Voysey: It was exciting to be part of Sheridan’s ‘launch team’, and gave me plenty of ideas about launching my own books! I started reading this in early September, so it took me a while, mainly because I had to be properly awake to digest it. My review is here.
Girl Alone, Cathy Glass: I used to read lots of Cathy Glass’s tales of fostering children, so I automatically bought this one when I saw it on offer. It reminded me that I wanted to read the one about the daughter she eventually adopted, so I bought Will You Love Me on Kindle and read that one, too. They are very quick reads, partly because they are written in a fairly simple and formulaic way, and partly because you don’t want to put them down before getting to the happy ending.
All Questions Great and Small, Adrian Plass and Jeff Lucas: eagerly awaited NEW Adrian Plass! I zoomed through it in an hour like a child opening all their Christmas presents at once, and now need to re-read it more slowly to discover what it actually said.
Fit to burst, Rachel Jankovic: (For the tenth or so time) I ought to read this once a month, really, not once a year. Best book for Christian mothers - I started highlighting memorable passages in my Kindle copy, but I was effectively just turning the whole thing yellow.
Waiting on the Word, Malcolm Guite: These were devotionals that went on until Epiphany, so I really finished it in January, but I’m letting it squeeze in since it was an Advent book. It was wonderful. It did me so much good to read a poem every day. I need to find ways to carry it on, and I can’t wait for Lent so that I can start Word in the Wilderness.
Various Christmas books: I tend to spend December re-reading things from our Christmas books box: collections of stories, treasuries, Maeve Binchy’s This Year Will Be Different and Adrian Plass’s And Jesus Will Be Born.
And now I need to find something more serious to get my teeth into before the January 2016 entry ends up with no books listed in it.

We all know that rappers love fine wristwatches but the rockers don’t get quite as much attention for their timepiece selections.
So we thought it interesting when author and contributor to WWR’s early days Thomas Scott McKenzie dug up this photo of Slash wearing what appears to be a Breitling Chronomat with UTC module. At the time, Scott was making the rounds on the hard rock festival circuit in research for his new book Power Chord: One Man’s Ear-Splitting Quest to Find His Guitar Heroes. He interviewed famous rockers such as Phil Collen from Def Leppard, the guys from Judas Priest, the stable of KISS guitarists, and others. Along the way, he shot a ton of concerts and soundchecks.
This photo of Slash and the Breitling was filed away with the rest of the research and source materials for Power Chord. But as Scott’s been doing tons of interviews for the book’s release, he came across this photo and thought we’d get a kick out of it.

Book-Beer Pair #12: PINES by Blake Crouch and Alpha Dog
December 28th, 2014
I’m doing something different for this review. I’m going to say you need to read PINES, the first book in a trilogy by Blake Crouch, also a forthcoming TV series on FOX this Spring. I think it definitely should be read BEFORE the series is on TV. I’ve read all three books, and while all are great, I think PINES is best.
I’m not going to tell you anything about the book other than this: Secret Service Agent Ethan Burke is sent to Wayward Pines, Idaho to investigate two missing agents.
Don’t read anything else on the book description. Read no reviews or spoilers. Avoid these temptations at all cost! And please do not comment here on any plot details if you have read it.
I say this because PINES is like an excellent Twilight Zone episode. For comparison, I enjoyed it much more than DOCTOR SLEEP, an earlier review of mine. Sometimes these kinds of novels are best when you dive in and know as little as possible. So do it…
BUT…you need a good beer, of course. Alpha Dog Imperial IPA by Laughing Dog Brewing, Ponderay, Idaho is my pick. You may understand my rationale, outside of Alpha Dog’s superb taste, when you finish the story. Even if this isn’t your regular kind of book, give it a try and I bet it will be a welcome aberration…

Following a dip in opinion surveys, main opposition New Democracy has regained an over ten percentage point lead – 10.5 percentage points – over ruling SYRIZA, according to a poll ordered by SKAI television and conducted by Greece’s Pulse polling company.
The result, following a proportional distribution of the undecided vote to the parties, New Democracy garnered 33.5 percent compared to SYRIZA’s 25 percent.
The centre-left Movement for Change and extreme-right, nationalist Golden Dawn are tied for third place with seven percent of the vote, followed by the Greek Communist Party (KKE) with six percent.
The remaining parties, three of which currently are represented in parliament, did not pass the three percent threshold for entering the legislature.
SYRIZA’s junior coalition partner, the Independent Greeks, receives only 1.5 percent and the Centrists’ Union two percent, while the centre-right Potami party receives 1.5 percent. A newfangled ultra-right nationalist and ardently Russophile party, Elliniki Lysi (Greek Solution) garners two percent, while the extra-parliamentary ultra-left party ANTARSYA received one percent.
Though most observers and pundits believe that elections will likely be held sooner than later, 11.5 percent of those surveyed remain undecided.
Approximately half of those surveyed considered an economic crisis or economic problems in 2019 likely, while 63 percent believe economic affairs are moving in the wrong direction.
Over half (53 percent of those surveyed expect the general election to be held at the end of the government’s term and after the Greece-FYROM Prespa Agreement is ratified by the Greek Parliament.
When asked about the overall course of the country, 63 percent of respondents said things are moving definitely or more likely in the wrong direction, a four percentage point hike compared to the response to the same question in a poll conducted in November.

There is nothing quite like going into your garden and picking vegetables for a salad or to cook for dinner. You have such satisfaction that you’ve actually grown produce yourself. It is truly food grown within a 100 miles!
Just because you live in an apartment in the city or have limited sunlight in your backyard area doesn’t mean you have to give up the pleasure of biting into a warm, juicy tomato or sprinkling freshly picked herbs on your dinner. You just have to pick vegetables that are easy to grow in Ontario, and will thrive in the right location.
Here’s what you need to know – to grow!
- Sunshine – Vegetables need full sunlight, which means six hours or more per day of bright, direct sunshine. If you lack a place that is sunny, consider planting in containers with wheels. Then you can move your plants during the day in order to get enough sunlight.
- Water – Keep vegetables well-watered, especially when the edible portion of the vegetable plant is developing. Tomatoes, for example, develop best when they have continual moisture during the flowering and fruit development period.
- But vegetables do not like soggy roots. Make sure that your garden is well drained, and put holes in the bottom of containers to allow excess water to drain away.
- Feed them – In general, fertilize with a balanced fertilizer such as a 14-14-14 slow release fertilizer. Don’t use more than suggested, or you can burn their roots.
- Plant for your space – If you are using containers or have a small garden space, Look for varieties marked “midget”, dwarf, miniature or patio, and for vegetables that produce vines, the word “bush”.
Here are some vegetables that do very well in gardens and containers.
- Carrots – Look for midget varieties of carrots or Nantes, which are shorter and do better in home gardens and containers.
- Cucumbers – Bush varieties do well in a more compact space. Use a tomato cage to help control the vine.
- Lettuce – Bibb, kale, baby spinach all do well in gardens and containers. You do have to keep seeding.
- Melons – Cantaloupes (muskmelons) do well in gardens but also can be grown in a large container.
- Peppers – Almost any variety of pepper (yellow, red, purple and green bell peppers) are a great choice. Plant extra as you may lose some to pests. Hot peppers also do well. You may end up with more than you can use!
- Radishes – Radishes are great, especially for kids to plant, because they germinate quickly.
- Tomatoes – Cherry tomatoes or beefsteak tomatoes are favourites and both do well in containers. Look for varieties that come in hanging container for balconies!
- Herbs – Herbs like basil, rosemary, chives, thyme, tarragon and parsley are easy to grow in a garden, window boxes and containers. Check instructions first. Oregano and mint spread so you may want to contain them in pots. Many herbs do well when paired with other plants (such as basil with tomatoes).

Beauty and madness. Thursday, July 15, 2010.
“But what is madness, if not being able to control your own mind?” –Victoria Leatham, “Bloodletting: A Memoir of Secrets, Self-Harm, and Survival”
They found my friend by a cornfield, where she’d been parked for hours. April, a young, beautiful and brilliantly talented mother of two, had disappeared into the night into a cemetery, where she roamed – listening to music, smoking cigarettes and praying – all night.
She then sat in her truck and watched the sun rise, after “walking through a misty, dreamy, flower-filled meadow,” she wrote later in her blog, girlAbstracted. “Music and wind, landscape and horizon, spoke for me, came to life before me. I was fearless in the presence of my unseen enemies because I was exalted, wrapped snugly in warm layers of meaning.”
It sounds beautiful, but April’s experience wasn’t finished yet. “When the farmer and his wife brought me into their home, my exaltation was setting with the sun,” she wrote. “By the time I arrived at the emergency room, the walls were bleeding with terror.”
April suffers from psychosis. I’ve been anxious and depressed, but never delusional. I’ve never seen visions or heard music that no one else can hear, like April has. Another friend of mine, when off his medication, believed he was a bear and stayed in the woods, leaving his clothes behind.
How does this happen? The experience of psychosis is barely distinguishable from the experience of ingesting hallucinogens like LSD. It can be beautiful, terrifying or both. Of course, drugs wear off in a few hours, but the delusions of psychosis can last indefinitely. Delusions can make it impossible to work at a job or raise a family. And four in 10 people with schizophrenia, one cause of delusions, attempt suicide.
Most people are afraid of people with schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders. Movies and television shows often depict people with delusions as violent, while in reality, they are no more violent than people in the general population and are actually more likely to be victims of crime than perpetrators. Strong medications can keep psychosis under control, but bring their own set of problems.
The human mind is an amazing thing, beyond our ability to understand. The ability of the brain to manufacture images and sounds is really quite astounding. How sad that the experience can be so life-limiting and can lead to suicidal ideation. Because I think I would like the experience of being “exalted, wrapped snugly in warm layers of meaning.”

| Advani: Reality check
Ranchi/Jamshedpur, Dec. 3: The message from the top came loud and clear: stop bickering with your ally and instead work in tandem to hold on to power.
The BJP core committee today resolved that it would fight the Jharkhand Assembly election, scheduled for early next year, in alliance with the Janata Dal (United), with which the party has been locked in a running feud since the Lok Sabha debacle in May.
The issue of seat-sharing will be decided later.
The core committee meeting, presided by BJP president L.K. Advani, was held in Delhi this evening to work out strategies for the Assembly poll. Senior leaders associated with party affairs in Jharkhand, including general secretary Rajnath Singh, chief minister Arjun Munda, vice-president Babulal Marandi, state president Raghubar Das and organisation secretary Hridaynath Singh, were present.
Advani pointed out that if the party could 'successfully' organise mass rallies in Jharkhand and host a national executive meeting, there was no reason why it could not prove its point at the hustings. But, for that, he stressed, certain precautions need to be taken, the most important being air-tight alliances with the JD(U) and other NDA partners. 'Advani was impressed by the turnout at the recent BJP rally in Ranchi. He wanted to know from the state leaders why it was not able to transform the large following of the party into votes,' said a leader who attended the meeting.
The high command's message: work in unison with the NDA allies, never mind the differences. 'Internal bickering in the state unit of the JD(U) was not discussed at our meeting. We have decided in principle to forge alliances with the JD(U) during the elections. Seat-sharing will be decided later,' Hridaynath Singh said over telephone.
Raghubar Das added that seat adjustments would be finalised on the basis of ground realities. For this, he will soon be holding talks with the state JD(U) chief. Das, however, remained tight-lipped when pointed out that Inder Singh Namdhari has already tendered his resignation and it was unlikely that the leadership crisis in the JD(U) would be resolved soon.
Advani directed the state leaders to ensure that there was no 'misunderstanding' with its ally in distribution of seats. In the Lok Sabha poll, the two parties contested as many as five of the 14 seats separately.
The BJP president also asked for the immediate formation of different committees related to the state polls so that work could be divided. 'Panels for selection of candidates, booth management and preparation of the election manifesto have to be formed as soon as possible so that all election-related exercises take place smoothly,' Advani is understood to have said.
BJP sources said Advani stressed that the issue of tainted ministers in the United Progressive Alliance regime at the Centre should be made a major campaign issue. 'We feel that he was hinting at JMM chief Shibu Soren, who is eyeing the post of chief minister. Advaniji felt that the electorate must be informed of the dangerous fallout if Soren becomes chief minister of Jharkhand,' the sources said.
Advani stressed on party unity and better poll management. He advised that the booth level committees should be formed at the earliest.


Montana Republican Freshman Rep. Matt Rosendale demanded House GOP Conference Chair Liz Cheney step down from leadership after the Wyoming congresswoman endorsed President Donald Trump’s impeachment Tuesday.
Rosendale, who served as state auditor until being sworn into the House this month, said in a statement that Cheney came out in favor of impeachment without consulting the Republican caucus.
“When Representative Cheney came out in favor of impeachment today, she failed to consult with the Conference, failed to abide by the spirit of the rules of the Republican Conference, and ignored the preferences of Republican voters,” Rosendale said in a statement. “She is weakening our conference at a key moment for personal political gain and is unfit to lead. She must step down as Conference Chair.”

10 mistakes in solar energy designnada shaban
10 mistakes in solar energy design
The most prominent and most important 10 fatal mistakes in the implementation and design of solar energy :
- 1- Wrong sizing of the system , not taking into account that productivity in winter differs from summer , and that the highest rate of 1 kilowatt panels produces an average of 4-6 kilowatt hours per day ( approximately ) and that additional precautions must be made for panels due to weather conditions ( such as clouds and rain ) that lead to lower productivity For hours or perhaps for a whole day , to avoid the system being under-sized and failure to use and benefit from it . .
- 2- Incorrect sizing of energy storage batteries . The daily discharge level of the DoD batteries ( Depth of Discharge ) must be taken into consideration . The life of the batteries must be determined in advance through the number of cycles used at a predetermined discharge rate , and the discharge device or inverter must be set to turn off the system when the level is reached . Determined according to the prior study ( for example , when discharging the batteries by 50% or 60% , or according to the feasibility study ). .
- 3- Wrong sizing of the wires used to connect between the panels , the regulator , and the batteries . The rule says : The higher the voltage and the lower the ampere , the thinner the wires will be , and vice versa . The appropriate wire section must be calculated in advance based on the system data , especially by choosing suitable wires for solar energy with insulation . Good and high tolerance to heat and humidity , and you can calculate the appropriate wire section through the application of Shams or for large systems .
- 4- Installing bases for solar panels made of light iron that can be easily oxidized and exposed to rust , and thus may lead to an inevitable catastrophe and the panels will fall and break , and even human damage may occur , so the bases must be solid , strong and resistant to weather factors ( rain , wind , humidity , temperature , etc. ) and it is always better to use bases made of aluminum to serve for a longer life ( especially in areas with high humidity ). .
- 5- One of the common mistakes is not paying attention to waterproofing , so the engineer or user must isolate the wires of the panels from the water . It is not correct to cut the cables , make manual connections and weld them with adhesive or any other primitive means . MC4 connectors ( high quality ) or alternative connectors designated for wires should be used .
Solar energy and make sure it is properly isolated . .
- 6- Not taking into account the shadow , so you must leave a distance from the height of the object that causes the shadow , or raise the base of the panels to the top in order to reduce the distance between the object and the panels , and you can calculate this through the application of Shams ( currently the calculation is not accurate in the application, but it will be modified in the next update soon, God willing ). .
- 7- One of the fatal mistakes is not installing DC breakers and fuses for solar panels and batteries . It is necessary to install a DC breaker with a voltage suitable for the total voltages of the panels ( to protect the system or to separate it manually when maintenance is needed or to add panels ) . Also, between the batteries and the inverter , DC fuses or breakers must be installed . .
- 8- Some users place the inverter or regulator in an open place or exposed to heat , sun, humidity , and rain , and this is wrong behavior , except if the device is designed to work outdoors , and these devices are often intended for large projects and their cost is expensive and not available for simple home use , so it must be The inverter or the regulator is in a cool place as much as possible and away from dirt, dust and water . There is no problem if the distance between the panels and the inverter is long , as long as the goal is to keep the device from dust , in addition to taking into consideration the suitable wire section for the actual distance between them . .
- 9- Not using earth for the solar system, the inverter and charging regulator must be protected with a grounding system, and a lightning protection system should be added to all parts of the system , especially solar panels , and especially in areas where the probability of lightning strikes is high . .
- 10- Leaving the system for a long time without follow-up and checking from time to time . The user or the person in charge of the system must check the components of the system from time to time , by examining the productivity of the panels and ensuring the integrity of the connectors and terminals, and examining the discharge of the batteries and making sure that the actual capacity of the batteries has not decreased , and in In the event that a decrease in capacity occurs , he must carry out an “equalization” process ( except for gel batteries , as it is not recommended to do an equalization for them at all ) as we explained in a previous article , after referring to the instructions of the battery manufacturer , and in addition to examining the batteries at the float stage ( when charging is complete ) . And make sure All batteries have at least the same or close voltages , in addition to removing dust from the inverter and the rest of the components , either with a blowing device carefully and with low impulse force , or by vacuuming the dust . .

One of my all-time favorite shots came from the lighthouse on Holyhead in north Wales.
The prior night, we drove the long haul from Devonshire to the hills of north Wales and Snowdonia National Park—a fairly intense in the dark.
I had the car to myself the following day (yay!), so I drove at random through the park. Snowdonia’s eerily Alpine roads echo the mood of Yosemite and the Scottish Highlands. But like Ireland, conditions and lighting change rapidly.
I couldn’t imagine a better place to build my castle in the air. I can't help but feel Snowdonia is an underrated photographer’s haven—and I wouldn’t mind it staying that way!
About midday I drove to the idyllic South Stack Lighthouse on Holy Island. Despite the time of day, it was a fairly successful first visit and I figured I’d “gotten the shot,” so I drove back to Caernarfon for some coffee to weather the rain.
(Yes, technically this latte was in Sheffield—I decided not to snap an insta and look like a dork in every coffeeshop.)
Of course, the second visit is always better, so after passing the afternoon in a coffeeshop, I ended up at the lighthouse a second time—this time about an hour shy of sunset.
My earlier visit was smallcakes in comparison. Just as golden hour approached, I watched a thick fog roll in. I nearly abandoned the shoot altogether—it was thick enough to completely obscure the sunset and lighthouse. But still, it was mesmerizing to watch the blanket of fog roll in and out with almost magical rapidity.
The mood was there, even if the lighthouse wasn’t.
The scene suddenly cleared, and while the lighthouse became visible, a remainder of thick fog clung to the rocks in the foreground. Thankfully my shot was already composed, so I started the 60-second exposure.
By the second shot, the lighthouse was completely invisible again.
This was probably the best unexpected shoot of the trip—I figured the thick fog would ruin the shot, so I certainly didn’t expect to get a better photo than what I already had!
It was wild to observe such rapid changes in the weather, and I couldn’t help feeling that a leprechaun had followed me from Ireland to resettle in north Wales.

Haidor Ali Khan of Dhubri district does not have his name in the final draft National Register of Citizens (NRC) which was published on July 30 last. It is a different matter that Haidor is among the two Class III students who had hoisted the Tricolour braving chest-deep floodwaters in his school in Lower Assam’s Dhubri district on Independence Day last year.
A report appearing in the The Telegraph quoted Haidor, now a Class IV student at Naskara Lower Primary School, as saying on Saturday, “My name is not there.” Haidor had come to the Naskara NRC Seva Kendra (NSK) (in Dhubri district of Assam) with his mother to collect a form to submit claim to include his name in the final NRC.
The report further stated that the final draft of the NRC, however, has the names of his mother Jaibon Khatoon, elder brother Jaidor and sister Rina. His father, Rupnal Khan, had died in a militant attack in Kokrajhar in 2012. So, his family submitted NRC 1951 containing his grandfather’s name, Alom Khan, as legacy data.
“The NRC office told me that my son’s birth certificate was rejected. They promised to help me in submitting the claims to include his name in the NRC,” Haidor’s mother said, wondering why his birth certificate was rejected.
An official in the NRC Seva Kendra suspected there could be “mistakes” in the birth certificate as people in the rural areas often do not register the birth of their children as they do not go for institutional delivery and are most often illiterate.
The NRC 1951 is being updated only in Assam with March 24, 1971 as the cut-off date to detect and deport “foreigners” or “illegal migrants” from Bangladesh. The cut-off date was decided in accordance with the Assam Accord that was signed between the Centre and leaders of the Assam Agitation in 1985.
More than 40.07 lakh applicants like Haidor could not make it to the draft NRC, raising fears that many among them could be foreigners who settled in Assam after March 24, 1971.
Almost a year ago, on August 15, in a daredevil show of patriotism, Haidor, his classmate and neighbour Jiarul Ali Khan and four teachers, Tajem Sikadar, Mizanur Rahman, Joydev Roy and Nripen Rabha, had defied the floodwaters that had submerged their village to hoist the Tricolour and sing Jana Gana Mana and Vande Mataram. Among the students, Haidor and Jiarul were selected as they knew how to swim while the rest stood on higher ground and sang the national anthem.
Roy clicked a photograph as he had to forward it to the cluster resource centre co-ordinator for “official record” while Rahman uploaded it on Facebook. The picture went viral with many sharing it. The primary school, with nearly 200 students, is situated about 2.5 km from Fakirganj town in Dhubri district and 200 km west of Guwahati.
Haidor’s mother works as a midday meal cook in a Government-run madrasa and earns Rs 1,000 per month. “It’s very difficult to run the family. I keep a few hens and sell eggs. It will be very helpful if the Government can increase the salary for midday meal cooks like me,” she said.

The technological advancements of the 21st century have significantly transformed multiple sectors, including the justice system, thereby reshaping societal norms and operations. One area where this effect is conspicuously evident is in the arena of alcohol monitoring devices, where technology has led to the development of increasingly sophisticated alcohol monitors that promise a sea-change in addressing alcohol-related offences.
Electronic alcohol monitors, or Transdermal Alcohol Monitoring (TAM) devices, are non-invasive tools employed by authorities to monitor an individual’s Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) continuously. This article aims to shed light on these devices’ evolution, workings, and the effectiveness in managing and reducing alcohol-related offences.
History and Evolution of Electronic Alcohol Monitoring
Electronic alcohol monitoring dates back to the 1990s, when researchers began developing technologies capable of detecting alcohol consumption. Initial devices were large, cumbersome, and often unreliable, presenting numerous logistical and practical issues.
Over the past three decades, advancements in technology have led to the production of more reliable and less intrusive alcohol monitors. Modern devices are small, lightweight, and worn on the ankle like a bracelet. These monitors employ transdermal alcohol monitoring technology, which allows them to detect alcohol consumption by analyzing sweat and vapor that escapes from the wearer’s skin.
Mechanics of Electronic Alcohol Monitoring
Today’s TAM devices work by sampling the perspiration on the skin of the wearer at regular intervals. Alcohol consumption results in ethanol being diffused into the bloodstream, a portion of which is eventually expelled from the body via sweat and vapor. TAM devices capture and analyze these excretions to detect the presence of alcohol.
Most modern alcohol monitors use fuel cell technology to measure BAC levels, similar to the technology used in most handheld breathalyzer tests conducted by law enforcement. Once ethanol is detected, the fuel cell oxidizes it, generating an electrical current proportional to the alcohol level.
A key advantage of this system is that it allows for continuous, 24/7 monitoring. Data can be collected and transmitted in real-time, allowing for immediate intervention if necessary.
Efficacy in Addressing Alcohol-Related Offences
Studies conducted on the effectiveness of electronic alcohol monitoring devices have been largely positive. In a 2013 study by Kilmer et al., participants using alcohol monitoring bracelets demonstrated significantly reduced heavy drinking days. A more recent study in 2017 by Flango and Cheesman further reported lower recidivism rates among individuals mandated to use TAM devices compared to those under traditional probation.
These monitoring devices provide several key benefits. Firstly, they can deter individuals from consuming alcohol, particularly when tied to legal consequences. Continuous monitoring may also support individuals seeking to abstain from drinking, providing a tangible reminder and incentive to resist temptation.
The use of these devices also allows for greater freedom and mobility for individuals under supervision. Rather than being confined to a detention facility or being required to make regular visits for breathalyzer tests, individuals can go about their daily lives while still being effectively monitored.
While these devices are not without limitations—false positives or negatives due to environmental factors, the potential for tampering, and privacy concerns, to name a few—the balance of evidence suggests that they can be a highly effective tool in the fight against alcohol-related offences.
As technological advancements continue to drive improvements in accuracy and reliability, electronic alcohol monitoring devices will likely play an increasingly prominent role in addressing alcohol misuse. Future studies should focus on determining the optimal use scenarios for these devices, such as determining the length of use that produces the most substantial behavioral changes, and on addressing the challenges that remain.
In conclusion, electronic alcohol monitoring represents a transformative application of technology in the justice system, demonstrating the immense potential that this technology offers.

ROVERSIAL plans to introduce a Europe-wide standard on maternity leave would cost Britain £2bn per year, business leaders warn.
MEPs have backed a minimum period of 18 weeks’ maternity leave on full pay, a huge extension of the six weeks currently available at 90 per cent pay in the UK.
Labour ministers were urged not to sign up to the deal, which would apply to all 27 European Union member states.
CBI director-general John Cridland said: “At a time when economies across Europe are struggling to recover, and most treasuries are short of money, it would be highly damaging to increase the costs of statutory maternity pay.”
The Institute of Directors said the plans would hurt British businesses.

Courtney Settle is the first winner in this year's Manteca Bulletin Great Pumpkin Hunt.
Traffic was diverted from the Highway 99 northbound ramps at Main Street in Ripon for two hours Saturday afternoon due to a suspected 12-inch plastic pipe bomb found on the edge of the road near the shuttered Barnwood Restaurant on East Main Street.
The classic emergency vehicle show Saturday at the Ripon Community Center had 134 entries from throughout Northern and Central California.
Tanker truck traffic on East Highway 120 between Escalon and Manteca is expected to pick up in the coming weeks.
Don't like that bus route that makes too many stops on its way to your destination?
What would make the Faustina Rosas Pumpkin Run even more fun?
It seemed like a simple project - directional signs to help visitors find Manteca attractions such as Big League Dreams, downtown and Woodward Park.
Manteca is moving to reduce outside watering days from four to three, impose water conservation rules year round and slap repeat offenders with $250 fines per occurrence.
Angelica Dean was, by all accounts, caring, selfless and hardworking, and the longtime Manteca resident used those traits to build a career in assisting the elderly.
A Manteca police officer was thrown from his motorcycle last weekend in a collision that occurred while he was providing a security escort for a motorcycle convoy accompanying runners that went down Airport Way.
The heart of downtown Tracy harkens to a lot of nostalgia. One of those nostalgic elements that draws people to this central part of town is the historic Lincoln Highway.

They came by the thousands – as far south as Merced, west to Orinda, Plymouth to the east, and Sonora and Jackson in the foothills. These are the students – 2,250 of them – who converged at the Dell'Osso Family Farm at River Islands in Lathrop for the 2014 Manteca Pumpkin Fair Special Access Day.
Challenger Basketball or children with disabilities will make its debut next month.
There are a lot of problems facing San Joaquin County as a whole.
The drop in Manteca's crime rate is accelerating.

Michele Bachmann said this week "there’s a chance" she will run for president again in 2016. Then the Minnesota congresswoman followed that up on Wednesday with an astounding reminder of what makes her one of the most antigay Republicans in office.
Bachmann was asked about LGBT people during an appearance on conservative radio show Faith & Liberty and unloaded one of her most homophobic comments ever. She predicted a coming "effort for multiple in marriage, not just two, but multiple in marriage, I think they want to legalize that."
Then she said LGBT people want to legalize child molestation.
"I think also they want to abolish age of consent laws, which means we will do away with statutory rape laws so that adults would be able to freely prey on little children sexually," she said. "That’s the deviance that we’re seeing embraced in our culture today."
The audio was captured by Right Wing Watch, which has more clips from the interview, in which she says what LGBT people really want is "government coerced speech and behavior."

A beloved Texas teacher whose viral video of her students hugging garnered 22 million views has died from COVID-19 after a two-month battle, her family said.
Zelene Blancas, a first grade teacher at Dr. Sue A. Shook Elementary School in El Paso, died Monday, her brother confirmed to the Daily News.
The 35-year-old teacher became a national sensation two years ago when she shared heartwarming video showing her students lining up to say goodbye to each other through a choice of a hug, handshake, high five or first bump.
Almost all the students chose the hugging option.
Blancas tested positive for COVID-19 on Oct. 20 “despite taking all precautions possible,” her family said on a GoFundMe page raising money for the medical expenses.
She was hospitalized Oct. 24th and quickly admitted to the ICU, her relatives said.
After showing some minor improvement and taking some steps on her own, her oxygen levels plunged, and she was intubated Nov. 22, brother Mario Blancas told CNN.
“She was like my Wonder Woman,” he said. “She was my backbone, and she was like my second mother even though we are only four years apart.”
The brother said Blancas had a tough job but “always looked at the positive.”

Do you care about government surveillance? You’re in the minority
Share Now on:
As news broke last week about NSA collection of phone records and online data, I started following a Twitter account called Nothing To Hide. The account has been retweeting people talking about how they don’t care if the government, Obama, or the NSA, is spying on their online activity.
Here’s an example: “Honestly? Well, yes, privacy is nice, but I have nothing to hide, so they can snoop all they like.”
Whether or not you agree with this Tweet, it is representative. A lot of people in the U.S. don’t seem very worried that the government might be culling through their data.
“When it’s in the context of terrorism investigations, the public is willing to give the government a fair amount of leeway,” says Michael Dimock, director of the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. Dimock says people have been fine with giving up some privacy to stay safe for years.
“We haven’t seen any shift in opposition to this over the past 10 years,” he says. “Americans feel about the same way about this today as they did in 2002, within months of the 9/11 attacks.”
Some argue what really scares people about surveillance programs like PRISM isn’t government control. Instead it’s more about being discovered by the neighbors.
“We are implicitly embarrassed about the stuff that we do because we are all weirdos online,” says Kyle Wagner, who wrote a piece for Gizmodo on this topic. “The underlying fear is that someday it’s going to be public knowledge what I’ve been doing on the Internet and I will be shamed for the rest of my life.”
Wagner says the government doesn’t really care what you’re doing day to day, unless of course, you’re breaking the law.
Tell us what you think: Do you care if the government knows who you’re talking to on Facebook and when? Whom you’re emailing? If so, why? If not, why not?

Here are some simple steps to learning how to engage your Transverse Abdominus Muscle (TVA).
The first thing is to be able to picture it in your mind and connect to it. Click Here
Now you are ready!!!
1) Lie on your back, internally rotate the hips (turn knees in to each other) & feel the ASIS (bony bumps on front of hips) with your hands or fingertips to monitor what is happening.
The hip bones should turn in to each other, with the muscle between them tightening - lower TVA
2) Place your hands on your rib cage & gently inhale & exhale to feel the upper TVA contract between the ribs. Be sure you are not flexing & extending the spine, this is transverse motion. Exhale to internally rotate the hips, inhale to relax & let them open.
If you notice your back arching or flattening towards the floor, then you are using your other abdominal and low back muscles instead of the TVA, re-group and try again!
As you get better at feeling this muscle, work on contracting it and holding it during regular breathing and without moving your legs. Gradually progress this to feeling this muscle when seated and eventually while standing, walking, biking, etc.
When the TVA is strong, it can take up to 40% of the pressure out of your lower spine. The TVA will help you keep your spine in a balanced position and protect the intervertebral discs from excessive pressure. If you are still having trouble connecting or aren't sure if you are doing this right, come in for a session. This is nature's back brace and very vital to normal back function!
