So today we will introduce you top 10 fact about Google that you may not know.
NASA has announced one of the best and creative suggestions. They invite public to submit names to fly Mars. This is a big opportunity to send your names to the Red Planet with NASA’s Mars 2020 rover.
The rover is planned to launch early July 2020, but the spacecraft is expected to touch down on Mars in February 2021.
The rover, a robotic scientist weighing more than 2,300 pounds (1,000 kilograms), will search for signs of past microbial life, characterize the planet’s climate and geology, collect samples for future return to Earth, and pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet.
“As we get ready to launch this historic Mars mission, we want everyone to share in this journey of exploration,” said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD) in Washington. “It’s an exciting time for NASA, as we embark on this voyage to answer profound questions about our neighboring planet, and even the origins of life itself.”
As informed NASA [more than 2 million names flew on NASA’s InSight mission to Mars, giving each “flyer” about 300 million frequent flyer miles (nearly 500 million frequent flyer kilometers)].
From now until Sept. 30, you can add your name to the list below!
According to NASA “the Microdevices Laboratory at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, will use an electron beam to stencil the submitted names onto a silicon chip with lines of text smaller than one-thousandth the width of a human hair (75 nanometers). At that size, more than a million names can be written on a single dime-size chip. The chip (or chips) will ride on the rover under a glass cover”.

text: Protein kinase Czeta PKCzeta mediates cancer cell chemotaxis by regulating cytoskeleton rearrangement and cell adhesion. In the research for its upstream regulator, we investigated the role of Akt2 in chemotaxis and metastasis of human breast cancer cells. Reduction of Akt2 expression by siRNA inhibited chemotaxis of MDA-MB-231, T47D, and MCF7 cells, three representative human breast cancer cells. Expression of a wild type Akt2 in siRNA transfected cells rescued the phenotype. EGF-induced integrin beta1 phosphorylation was dampened, consistent with defects in adhesion. Phosphorylation of LIMK and cofilin, a critical step of cofilin recycle and actin polymerization, was also impaired. Thus, Akt2 regulates both cell adhesion and cytoskeleton rearrangement during chemotaxis. Depletion of Akt2 by siRNA impaired the activation of PKCzeta while inhibition of PKCzeta did not interfere with EGF induced phosphorylation of Akt. Furthermore, EGF induced co-immunoprecipitation between PKCzeta and Akt2, but not Akt1, suggesting that a direct interaction between PKCzeta and Akt2 in chemotaxis. Protein levels of integrin beta1, LIMK, cofilin, and PKCzeta didn't alter, suggesting that Akt2 does not regulate the expression of these signaling molecules. In a Severe Combine Immunodeficiency mouse model, Akt2 depleted MDA-MB-231 cells showed a marked reduction in metastasis to mouse lungs, demonstrating the biological relevancy of Akt2 in cancer metastasis in vivo. Taken together, our results suggest that Akt2 directly mediates EGF-induced chemotactic signaling pathways through PKCzeta and its expression is critical during the extravasation of circulating cancer cells.

A bill is sitting on the Governor's desk right now that would get tougher on rapists.
But, some prosecutors and victims fear the governor won't sign it because there is a big push right now to keep people out of prison, not put them in even longer.
The state says we've got to stop sending so many people to prison because it's expensive and it's just not working, and they need to be sentenced in other ways.
But, prosecutors and victims say some people need to go to prison, like rapists.
Prosecutors say whether it's rape by a person or rape by instrumentation, it's a terrible, traumatic ordeal for victims and both crimes should be treated the same, but that is not the case in Oklahoma right now.
The only way for rape by instrumentation to be considered first-degree is if the victim is injured.
First-degree increases the punishment from 2-15 years to five years to life and requires the rapist to serve at least 85 percent of the time before getting paroled.
Prosecutors like the new bill because it removes the need for an injury.
"If you're gonna use a knife handle, beer bottle, lit cigarette, vodka bottle, whatever it is, it doesn't matter," said Kenneth Elmore, Assistant Tulsa County district attorney. "Rape is rape and requiring there be an injury is barbaric."
They say "regular" rape doesn't require an injury so rape by instrumentation should not either. He understands the need to keep some people out of prison but doesn't think it applies here.
"So there's a big push, big movement for certain drug crimes or property crimes to lower the ranges of punishment but this is different," he said.
Elmore said. the people who need to go to prison and stay there are rapists, robbers and murderers.
Those who think the crime should be first-degree and the victim shouldn't have to be injured in the process can call the governor's office or a state legislator.

According to the Bible, do we have to tithe off our gross or net income? Namely, how should a farmer or a businessman tithe correctly: 1) his gross income minus his expenditure /10, 2.)his net income / 10. Which formula is correct?
Abraham tithed from his gross income
The first mention of tithing we find in Genesis 14, when Abraham chased Chedorlaomer and the kings who came with him and conquered Sodome and took Lot and his family in captivity. Abraham took his arms and his servants and chased those kings, conquered them and freed Lot and other prisoners. As the conqueror of Chearolaomer and the other kings, all the trothy belonged to Abraham.
Then after his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley). And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was a priest of God Most High. He blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; And blessed be God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” He gave him a tenth of all. (Genesis 14:17-20)
Abraham did not stand in front of Melchizedek to count his expenditure in that military campaign and did not remove it from the cost of the trophy and then tithe from what was left. He tithed the whole trophy, which means his gross income.
Children of Israel tithed from their gross income
The book of Leviticus presents the first mention of God’s commandment to Israel about tithing. Here is what God says:
‘Thus all the tithe of the land, of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord’s; it is holy to the Lord. If, therefore, a man wishes to redeem part of his tithe, he shall add to it one-fifth of it. For every tenth part of herd or flock, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be holy to the Lord. He is not to be concerned whether it is good or bad, nor shall he exchange it; or if he does exchange it, then both it and its substitute shall become holy. It shall not be redeemed.’” (Leviticus 27:30-33)
Israeli people had to give their tithe from the land, therefore from all the crop, without removing the costs of the seed, the labor and fertilizer expenditure etc. The Word of God was very clear about tithing, they had to give it from everything that grew on their land and from their flocks as well. So we can conclude firmly that God’s command about tithing was to give it from the gross income.
Lord Jesus did not abolish the tithe
When He rebuked the Pharisees, Lord Jesus said:
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others. (Mathew 23:23)
The Pharisees strictly respected the practice of tithing, but neglected the most important things of the Law that depended on the attitude of their heart. They were more preoccupied with outer things than with inner things of the heart. That’s why the Word of God teaches that…
Each one must give as he has purposed in his heart
The New Testament has not much teaching about tithing, but Lord Jesus and the apostles taught a lot about generosity. Chapters 8 and 9 from 2 Corinthians are dedicated to this subject. The apostle Paul highlighted a key principle about the believer’s generosity in his relationship with God:
Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7)
If you give 10% from your gross income or from your net income, and you do it grudgingly, you are not pleasing to God at all. He gives us all things abundantly so that we may enjoy them. God wants us to give rejoicingly. Chapter 8 of 2 Corinthians begins with a wonderful testimony about the Christians in Macedonia:
Now, brethren, we wish to make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the churches of Macedonia, that in a great ordeal of affliction their abundance of joy and their deep poverty overflowed in the wealth of their liberality. For I testify that according to their ability, and beyond their ability, they gave of their own accord, begging us with much urging for the favor of participation in the support of the saints, and this, not as we had expected, but they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God. (2 Corinthians 8:1-5)
May God help us follow their example and give ourselves fully to the Lord and, then, we will be able to give from our belongings with a cheerful heart for the furtherance of the Gospel and as an act of worship to God! So help us God!

Campaigns and reports from the CBA
Aid for campaign to save peat
The chances of survival of some of our most vulnerable archaeological sites were raised in April after B&Q, the leading home-and-garden retailer, determined to stop selling products containing peat within 10 years.
The company's decision follows concerns over the environmental impact of peat extraction. Peat not only provides a unique habitat for birds, plants and insects, but also has the rare quality of preserving organic ancient material such as wood and leather in waterlogged conditions.
Friends of the Earth recently surveyed all the major retailers of garden composts and other plant- growing media, grading them on their current policies for the sourcing of peat, the availability of peat-free products for sale, and their future plans to reduce sales of peat. B&Q, which has a 30 per cent share of the market, scored 18 out of a possible 20 points, way above its nearest competitors, Homebase and Focus/Do-It-All which both scored 12 points. Tesco languished at the bottom of the table in 10th place with 6 points. However, some retailers - including Asda and Nottcuts - failed even to return the questionnaire. When chased, Asda replied that they had 'thrown it in the bin'.
B&Q has been working closely with a number of conservation bodies, including the CBA, to up-date their policy on peat. In its new policy, B&Q acknowledges the unsustainable nature of peat extraction and commits itself to 'not buying or selling peat extracted from peatland sites of recognised ecological, archaeological or other conservation value (worldwide).'
At the moment, only 27 per cent of B&Q's growing media and soil conditioner sales are peat-free. But by 2006 they intend this to be 85 per cent, at which point there will be a progress review and new targets set for going completely peat-free. Nurseries supplying B&Q with plants grown in peat will also have to meet the targets. The retailer has also committed itself to clear labelling on all products showing their percentage composition of peat and peat-free material. Public opinion appears to have recently turned strongly against the use of peat. A poll in the latest edition of the BBC magazine Gardeners' World suggests that 74 per cent of readers would support a ban.
Over the last few months the CBA has commented on proposals for the visitor centre, road scheme, and the establishment of a research framework for the World Heritage Site at Stonehenge (writes George Lambrick). Our comments have influenced the approach taken to interpreting the complex for the general public. Among many suggestions to improve the assessment of the road scheme, we called for proper consideration of alternative options. Most recently the CBA has commented on the National Trust's proposals for the wider management of the World Heritage Site. The CBA will hold a meeting to discuss the road proposals after its AGM on 29 September and is also due to host a seminar on the research framework.
Archaeology and farming
Long before the foot-and-mouth crisis began, the CBA began focusing attention on long-term reforms necessary in agriculture (writes Alex Hunt). As members of Wildlife and Countryside Link (WCL), we have been contributing to its Greenprint for the Future of Agri-Environment Schemes in England. Such schemes compensate farmers for income lost when setting up or maintaining environmentally beneficial aspects of farmland.
The project has involved a series of workshops eliciting views from all sectors involved with farming and the rural environment. The CBA held its own workshop in mid-May, sponsored by English Heritage, to look specifically at historic environment aspects of agri-environment schemes.
Other recent CBA work on farming and the rural environment includes:
Recent listed buildings casework has included industrial and domestic buildings and a Georgian bridge.
Wallsuches Bleachworks in Bolton has been described as a 'rare survival of a once large scale important industry in the Bolton area'. The CBA objected to a previous application to convert the 18th/19th century buildings into domestic dwellings, with some demolition and lots of new construction, recommending that an archaeological evaluation take place. This has now been done. In the revised proposal new information from the evaluation has not been absorbed and too much historic fabric will be destroyed.
The CBA objected to proposals to dismantle, reconstruct and widen the damaged 18th century Creets Bridge at Kirkby Malzeard in North Yorkshire, on the grounds that they would replace it with a replica. Repair options should be studied more carefully first.
A listed cottage and barn at Hepworth near Huddersfield has been proposed for conversion into a single dwelling. It is a late 17th century laithe house, enlarged in the 18th century, and is an increasingly rare survival. The CBA argued that its dual nature, domestic and agricultural, should not be lost.
The CBA also commented on proposals to restore a series of locks on the Chesterfield Canal near Rotherham, pointing to the archaeological evidence, such as timber sub-frames within the structures. Rotherham Borough Council has since drawn up a Conservation Plan.

Ramaphosa: ANC leadership is unitedDecember 19, 2017
Polokwane municipality warns against vandalizing propertyDecember 20, 2017
By Meta Mphahlele
A Political Analyst from the University of Venda, Professor Rachidi Molapo says in his first speech as the ANC’s president, Cyril Ramaphosa will need to gain the confidence of members of the public.
Molapo says what is most important is for the newly elected president to deal with factions within the party and bring a more unified position in the movement.
Ramaphosa is expected to give his first speech as the ANC president, when he closes the 54th national conference at Nasrec, in Johannesburg on Wednesday.
Molapo says members of the public will expect Ramaphosa to talk about how to tackle socio-economic issues like unemployment and poverty.
Molapo says it will be important for Ramaphosa to talk about getting rid of corruption within government.
He says if Ramaphosa comes out to openly talk about practical ways, he will win lot of support that was lost to opposition parties like the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and the Democratic Alliance (DA).

Politics seeped into every aspect of life in 2017. Some people are trying to make it a point to avoid politics altogether because they don't want their family dinner to end with a fork in someone's thigh. But for others, the holidays is the perfect time to trigger their right wing uncle or try to get under the skin of their bleeding-heart liberal parents. What do you think?
Some people just want to watch the world burn. This has been a frustrating year for everyone on the political spectrum. Democrats continue to be in awe of how stupid and cruel the Trump administration can be. Republicans see witch hunts and obstruction at every turn in D.C. Basically, things have never been greater for debating politics.
Republicans can talk about "corrupt" Liberal Hollywood, whether Bill Clinton is guilty of sexual assault (it's back!) and how Antifa is going to murder all of America. Democrats can talk about the endless Trump administration hijinks, the Russia investigation or spineless Republicans. There's something for everyone!
There's nothing good that will come out of talking about politics right now. If anything, it's more likely to do more damage than good. People on both sides of the aisle are frustrated and angry. Chances are even without the politics, things might be getting a little tense in the family living room.
Bringing up politics is worse than throwing gasoline on a fire. It's more like seeing your house already soaked in gasoline and deciding to light a match and walk in anyway. It's gonna blow up in your face. Someone might literally die. Don't bring up politics. Just say no.

“I am pleased to begin another great season at Bay Street with our second annual New Works Festival,” expressed Bay Street Theater Artistic Director Scott Schwartz. “Last year, as part of the panel discussion led by award winning writer John Weidman, there was a need expressed by writers for support for plays and musicals that have had initial productions but are still in the process of development and rewriting.”
The 2nd Annual New Works Festival is returning to Bay Street Theater & Sag Harbor Center for the Arts on Friday, April 24th through Sunday, April 26th. The theater packed weekend will feature readings of works in development by up-and-coming New York-based playwrights, and this year’s Festival will be focused around the theme of “rediscovery.” Bay Street founded the New Works Festival as an opportunity for emerging playwrights to watch their works on stage, as professional actors read the plays in front of an audience. The weekend also gives the East End Community a sneak peak at plays from innovative voices in the theater world.
“This year, Bay Street is responding to this fascinating conversation by giving authors the opportunity to continue to work on projects that have had previous showings but which are still in the process of revision,” explained Schwartz. “As a home for the creation of new work in East End, Bay Street is delighted to offer our audience the opportunity to experience the distinctive voices and visions of exciting playwrights in various stages of development of their work.”
The three-day festival will showcase “A Delicate Ship” by Anna Ziegler on Friday, April 24th at 7 p.m., “The Green Heart” by Charles Busch and Rusty Magee on Saturday, April 25th at 3 p.m., and “Plane Play” by Julia Brownell on Sunday, April 26th at 2 p.m. Each reading will be followed by a talkback, where the playwrights and the audience can share their reactions to the work. The Festival will also feature an Artist Interact – Panel Discussion on Saturday, April 25th at 7 p.m. Tony Award winning producer Ken Davenport will moderate the discussion, which will feature the creators of “The Green Heart,” who will speak about the process of developing new musicals and rediscovering and reshaping musicals over the course of years and multiple productions. A cocktail reception at Bay Street will follow the panel.
Admission to the readings are free, with a donation requested. Tickets to the Panel Discussion are $10.
Bay Street Theater is located at 1 Bay Street in Sag Harbor. For more information, call 631-725-9500 or visit www.baystreet.org.

One tells the other: ‘You know, I’ve been here two weeks and haven’t been to the Louvre yet.’ And the other woman replies, “Well, maybe it’s the water.” (From tv/movie/writer/producer/director Garry Marshall’s autobiography, a wonderful book about writing, creating, patience, and perseverance, I read about 20 years ago, but I never forgot this joke, which still makes me laugh.)
A little piece of wisdom:“Happy Birthday” is a victory song.

According to the sources, the deceased was found unresponsive by his wife at his home in Karen on Monday 26th September 2022.
Reportedly he spent his last moments drinking his favourite white wine in his home before being found motionless on his sofa hours later.
Unfortunately, the paramedics were unable to bring him back to life as he was announced dead minutes later.
(Scenes at lawyer Paul Gicheru's home)
Coincidentally, the medics also found Gicheru's 20-year-old son Allan laying on his bed with froth oozing from his mouth.
Allan was given quick first aid and rushed to the Karen hospital for specialised treatment.
Mystery still surrounds Lawyer Paul Gicheru's death as he was waiting for the International Criminals Court (ICC) verdict on his case after he was accused of witnesses bribery.
The police are still carrying out the investigations hoping to unveil the truth behind Gicheru's death.

We are in the middle of yard sale/garage sale madness at this house! Five families have dropped off stuff at my house to be sold Thursday through Saturday. The kids (mine plus three other friends) will have a lemonade and cookie stand too!
But in the midst of pricing, organizing, and setting up to sell all of our junk, I mean slightly used wonderful stuff, we had to do some planting.
First off I just wanted to ask if any gardeners have ever seen Rhubarb that looks this THIS!
Today we planted yellow onions, romaine lettuce, yellow beans and bush beans. The girls had a great time taking turns to plant with their dad.
Our method for having the girls help is to hand them a few seeds and then we point to where the seed should go and they put it in. Once all the seeds are planted we work together to push the soil back over the seeds. I imagine this is a pretty common way of having little kids plant row crops.
Sam, at age 4, is already pretty good at handling the smaller seeds (carrots, onions, etc.) but Avery is just on her first planting year to be involved so she just helped with the bigger bean seeds.
Beans are, in my opinion, some of the best plants to grow with young kids. The seeds are big and easy to handle. The seeds sprout fairly quickly so that they don't have to be patient for too long. The beans are easy to pick off and a great immediate snack in the yard. My girls both loved helping to pick the beans last year and I know this year they will get just as into the process.
To see a list of other great plants to grow with your little ones head over here. And be sure to check out the book "Roots, Shoots, Buckets and Boots" by Sharon Lovejoy. It is an awesome resource for gardening with kids.
How is your gardening going so far this year? And WHAT do I do with my rhubarb?!

Kim Kardashian West has backed down over plans to launch a "Kimono"-branded lingerie line, after the naming of the new range prompted accusations of cultural appropriation.
In a statement published on Twitter and Instagram, the reality TV star said "after careful thought and consideration, I will be launching my Solutionwear brand under a new name."
On June 25, Kardashian West announced the launch of a new line of flesh-colored shapewear called "Kimono."
She also appeared to have trademarked the word "kimono" -- according to Business Insider, a search of the online database for the United States Patent and Trademark Office revealed that Kimono Intimates Inc. applied to trademark a specific font version of the word.
Originating in the Hakuhō (Early Nara) period (645-710), the kimono is an ankle-length gown with long, wide sleeves and a V- neck. With neither ties nor buttons, it is tied left over right across the chest and secured at the waist with a broad sash called an an obi.
The launch met with an immediate backlash from people of Japanese heritage around the world, with many expressing their disapproval using the Twitter hashtag #KimOhNo.
San Francisco-based Yuka Ohishi, who tweeted about the controversy, told CNN: "I was not very pleased by companies using the word kimono to market beach cover-ups and robes. And then Kim Kardashian went to a whole new level by simply using the word as a pun. Her line is not at all inspired by the Japanese kimono, pays no respect."
The mayor of Kyoto, Daisaku Kadokawa, wrote an open letter to Kardashian West urging her to "reconsider" the line.
"We think that the names for 'Kimono' are the asset shared with all humanity who love Kimono and its culture therefore they should not be monopolized," Kadokawa wrote.
In a statement Monday, the reality TV star responded: "Being an entrepreneur and my own boss has been one of the most rewarding challenges I've been blessed with in my life. What's made it possible for me after all of these years has been the direct line of communication with my fans and the public."
She said she named her products "with the best intentions in mind."
"My brands and products are built with inclusivity and diversity at their core and after careful thought and consideration, I will be launching my Solutionwear brand under a new name. I will be in touch soon. Thank you for your understanding and support always," she wrote.


text: A LECTURER accused of sexually harassing his students has told the South China Morning Post he recalled patting the women's shoulders but was unsure whether he had reached for their legs and waists. 'Patting shoulders, I can confirm this. Hands or backs, possible. Legs and waists, I am not sure,' the Polytechnic University lecturer said. 'I have apologised to the students in class but there was no response. But apologising doesn't mean I admit I am guilty.' The lecturer has been banned from teaching the class involved and police are interviewing 50 students in his other classes. Nine students from a class of 17 in the Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies have accused the man of touching their waists, shoulders, backs, hands and legs. The university is also investigating the case. The lecturer involved, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has defended himself. '[The accusation] is unfair. Nothing like this has happened over the last two years. But suddenly I was told I was wrong,' he told the Post earlier. He said he apologised for making the students uncomfortable and his acts were only meant to be friendly gestures. It is understood the students cancelled a meeting they were to have yesterday with the lecturer and the department staff. The lecturer has said he wanted to talk to the students in order to solve the problems in the most effective way. A police spokesman said it was difficult to determine whether the evidence constituted indecent assault. 'No important parts of the body were claimed to be touched. It is difficult to define whether the acts are intentional or just friendly gestures,' he said.

Collects Uncanny X-Men #534.1 and #535-539.
I read the issues when they were published in the monthly Finnish edition of the X-Men.
Writer: Kieron Gillen
Artists: Terry Dobson, Rachel Dobson, Ibraim Roberson
Publication year: 2011
The collection starts with an issue focused on Magneto. Now that he’s living on Utopia, the X-Men want to do something about his public image and they want other people to know that they don’t need to fear him anymore. So, Magneto agrees to meet with a PR professional and they have a very interesting conversation. Meanwhile, a couple of A.I.M. terrorists claim that they have a way to trigger earthquakes and they want the city of San Francisco to pay so that they don’t use their weapon. The mayor calls in the X-Men.
The next four issues deal with the aliens we met during Joss Whedon’s Astonishing X-Men. S.W.O.R.D’s leader agent Brand contacts Cyclops because a warship from the Breakworld is coming to Earth. Scott takes with him the group who went to Breakworld, minus the new member Armor and plus Magneto, and heads to orbit. The X-Men and Brand break into the warship and are in for a surprise: the deposed Powerlord Kruun and his people are actually refugees looking for a place to stay.
Whedon’s run left a few tangling plot points and this collection ties them up, although I’m really surprised if we don’t see more of the aliens. I liked this storyline a lot until the very last issue. A lot of crucial things happened there off screen. We’re told about them but not shown them and the conclusion feels very abrupt. One moment Kitty is in great danger and the next… the cavalry has arrived and everything is puppies and sunshine.
I really liked the focus on Kitty. Ever since she came back, she’s been stuck in a phased form and that’s finally cleared up. This was actually a bit of a nostalgic feel to me because Claremont did the whole stuck in a phased form thing first.
I like Colossus but he’s never been a favorite character. I actually think he’s the wrong guy for Kitty no matter how long they’ve been on-again, off-again couple, but it’s great to see Kitty happy. The story had great small moments, like Kitty and Peter on a date even though they can’t touch and Magneto wanting to know more about the Breakworld metal. Then again, I wasn’t too fond of the Frost/Brand snarking but luckily that was kept low. I really enjoyed Kruun’s attitude towards Peter which is very understandable. I think the whole Breakworld thing brought some more story focus on Peter which is good.
The last issue seems like a one-shot with a very different artist and focus on Hope. A group of men kidnaps her in front of her team of the five new mutant and Wolverine leaves to save her all by himself. The story has a few touching scenes between Hope and Logan but otherwise it felt unnecessary. We get to see the new mutants who were introduced in “Five Lights”. However, in that story Idun was twelve but this time she’s clearly an adult, which was disconcerting.
Overall, I liked this collection better than the previous one.

Booking Through Thursday
Movies have a rating system to help guide the consumer weed out adult/violent/inappropriate knds of films. Video games do, too. Do you think BOOKS should have a ratings system?
It depends. It depends on who decides what goes into what categories, what the categories are etc. I don’t think putting age categories would be a good idea because kids are different and read at different levels. I think libraries already have to restrict the books kids can borrow and that’s enough.
However, I wouldn’t mind it if the publishers would put icons for things like violence, sex, cursing, horror, etc. That would give some idea of what to expect in a book. In fact, I have vague memories that some UK (fantasy?) publishers have already done that.
But it depends on who gets to decide what types of scenes would get a warning and which wouldn’t. I doubt people could agree on them.

11th book in the series.
Publication year: 2001
Publisher: Belinda Audio
Narrator: Stephanie Daniel
Running Time: 8 hrs and 5 minutes
The Honorable Phryne Fisher is a bit bored: life is good but her Chinese lover Lin Chung has been sent to China to buy silk. Then Detective Inspector Robinson asks Phryne to look into a suspicious death. Marcella Lavender has reported that someone is threating her and Robinson looked into the matter but didn’t find anything. However, now Lavender is dead and Robinson feels really guilty about it. Of course Phryne agrees to look into the matter.
Lavender wrote and illustrated children’s books, specifically fairy books. She also worked for the Women’s Choice magazine. She lived in a boarding house with a motley crew of other people and her house was decorated with fairies. She even inflicted garden gnomes on the hapless gardens. Phryne interviews her house mates without getting much clues. However, she’s invited to write for the Women’s Choice magazine and this gives her an excellent opportunity to investigate.
The book is pretty ordinary Phryne book until about the half-way point: funny and witty but showing also how people’s lives can be hard. However, about half-way through the book Phryne finds out that her lover has been kidnapped and the book’s tone for that plot becomes far more serious.
As usual, the book has a range of interesting characters. In addition to the usual cast, there are lot of new characters. It seems that miss Lavender wasn’t much liked. Her co-workers at the magazine aren’t grieving; they are focused on getting the next issue out. She wrote also the advice column for the magazine which widens the field of suspects.
I really enjoyed this one.

Yesterday, the topic of Top 5 Sundays at Larissa’s Bookish Life was Best Urban Fantasy Book Series.
I think my choices are going to be a bit different than the average UF reader’s. 🙂
1, Seanan McGuire’s Toby Daye series
I fell in love with the series with book three and it only gets better with every book.
2, Stacia Kane’s Downside Ghosts series
Kane’s series is very different in tone than McGuire’s books. However, they both have great characters and settings.
3, Jocelynn Drake’s Dark Days
The main character is a powerful vampire but she has even more powerful enemies.
4, Rachel Caine’s Weather Wardens
5, Tanya Huff’s Blood books
Huff’s books are older than the others and they draw on more classic sources for villains.

Once Upon a Time VII is here! Carl from Stainless Steel Droppings is hosting the challenge:
Thursday, March 21st begins the seventh annual Once Upon a Time Challenge. This is a reading and viewing event that encompasses four broad categories: Fairy Tale, Folklore, Fantasy and Mythology, including the seemingly countless sub-genres and blending of genres that fall within this spectrum. The challenge continues through Friday, June 21st and allows for very minor (1 book only) participation as well as more immersion depending on your reading/viewing whims.
There are several options to choose from and I’m going to participate in
Read at least 5 books that fit somewhere within the Once Upon a Time categories. They might all be fantasy, or folklore, or fairy tales, or mythology…or your five books might be a combination from the four genres.
It’s high time for me to finish a couple of fantasy series I’ve enjoyed a lot so “Burn the Night” by Jocelynn Drake and “Con and Conjure” and “All Spell Breaks Loose” by Lisa Shearin are on the list.
A wolf at the Door by K. A. Steward is the third in the series.
Blue Magic by Dellamonica is the second in the series.
I’m probably going to also begin at least one more series:
The Stepsister Scheme by Jim Hines
Of course, I have lots and lots of other fantasy books to read.
1, Yvonne Carroll: Leprechaun Tales
2, Kristine Kathryn Rusch: The White Mists of Power
3, Patrick Weeks: The Palace Job
4, Lisa Shearin: Con & Conjure
5, Lisa Shearin: All Spell Breaks Loose
6, Rachel Caine: Working Stiff
7, Jim C. Hines: The Stepsister Scheme
8, Jocelynn Drake: Burn the Night
9, Aliette de Bodard: Servant of the Underworld
10, N. K. Jemisin: The Killing Moon

A collection of seven science fiction short stories.
Publication year: 2013
Format: ebook, Kindle
The writer describes his stories as similar to Twilight Zone episodes, and I agree. All of them have twists, and not necessarily just in the end, and a few of them are pretty brutal. Most of them feel like they are short and the endings can be abrupt. They aren’t connected and seem to be set in different story universes.
In the first story, “Shooting Star”, Captain Evan Grant is supposed to go on a routine research run around the Earth. Instead, he’s persuaded to try to rescue an automated cargo ship which is returning from Mars with a valuable cargo. The ship has stopped transmitting and Grant has to try to board it and fix it.
Grant is a devoted father and husband, and he wants to do the right thing. Unfortunately, that turns out to be quite difficult.
The set up for “Rescue Mission” is pretty familiar. The Commander of a space ship is sent on a plant to rescue downed pilots. The planet has rich supplies but also a native population who are considered low-tech barbarians. The Commander’s second-in-command is young and impatient and wants to just wipe out any natives who come too close. This is a problem, of course. There’s a nice contrast between the older and more experienced Commander who is tired of wars and the gung-ho youngster.
“The Journal” was quite different from the previous two. In it, a group of young male students steal a journal from one of their student buddies and find out much more than they thought. Unfortunately, the story also left a lot of unanswered questions in favor of quick twists.
In “All that Glitters…” the crew of a mining star ship finds a previously unknown planet which is rich in minerals, especially gold. The Captain wants to take full advantage of the clueless natives in order to further his own fortunes and career.
This story also has a conflict with the captain and his second-in-command but it’s otherwise different from the second story.
“Annihilation” is set on a submarine which is sent to a long mission.
“Act of God” is perhaps the most chilling of the stories. A colony far away from everyone else has encountered a disaster which destroyed most of the food supply. The administrator has to resort to drastic actions to keep people alive.
In “Eye of the Beholder” two history buffs are looking for ancient treasure.
All of the stories can be read without any knowledge about other science fiction stories or concepts.
Even though the stories are short, the characters are mostly established well and quickly. Of course, that means that the conflicts between them aren’t terribly nuanced, but they are dramatic and so entertaining. The stories are designed to be uncomfortable and not comfort reads. Some of them have also minor horror elements. I think that if you’ve read similar stories before they might not be surprising – I was genuinely surprised by only one of the stories. However, they were still quite entertaining. The last two, “Act of God” and “Eye of the Beholder” are my favorites. The last one teases us with just when and where the two main characters are and what they are actually looking for.
The ebook has also samples of Byers’ two other books, “Arctic Fire” and “Catalyst”.
March 18, 2013
Please give a warm welcome to guest blogger Paul Byers. I’ll review his science fiction short story collection Act of God in a few days.
Paper or Plastic
This is a question we get asked every day and as a writer, having written both novels and short stories, I often get asked the paper or plastic equivalent of which I prefer to write; full length novels or short stories?
There are pros and cons, similarities and differences between writing short stories and full length novels, and as a writer, I enjoy both. Both must have a good storylines and both should be built around honest, believable characters.
From the practical standpoint, short stories are popular for our busy lifestyles, allowing the reader to enjoy themselves without the commitment of a novel. As a writer, it is quicker to write, though not necessarily easier, plus it gives us a chance to break out of our usual genre and try something different.
I also like short stories because these days everything is go, go, go. You can take a moment to relax, escape the fast pace of life and be entertained without a big time investment. Shorts also let you travel to many different places, if you will, in a small amount of time.
For me, I find that one of the biggest draws as a writer for the short story is that you can take greater risks with the story line and get a greater pay off at the end. With the short, you can built it up relatively quickly and at the last possible moment, hang a sharp right with a surprise ending that you couldn’t do in a full length story. In a novel, you would either see the twist coming a mile away or else it would lose much of its punch.
As a writer, you also have more freedom in the short story when working with your characters. For example, you can kill off a main character, not necessarily for the shock value, but to put a greater twist to the story that the reader wouldn’t expect and that you couldn’t get away with in a full length novel.
But on the other side of the coin, one of the biggest drawbacks to some short stories is that you don’t have the time to fully develop your characters. You know who they are but not always what makes them tick. The novel, however gives you the room and freedom to fully develop your characters with backstories and motivations. It gives the reader the chance to connect with the characters, which gives the reader an emotionally stake in their lives.
Another drawback to the short story is that sometimes there is little room for a back story or painting descriptions that can really add and help set the mood of the story. Sometimes the surrounds the characters find themselves in is just as important as the characters themselves.
One thing that is the same when writing a story, whether long or short, is that the research is always very important and it has to fit the story. I love digging and poking around, finding little tidbits of information to throw into a story. For me, the hardest part is deciding how much to put in and how much to leave out, what is necessary for the story and what I think is just plain cool.
For example, in the short story, Shooting Star from Act of God, I discovered that the Saturn V rocket used to launch the Apollo Moon Missions and also our hero, Captain Grant weighs in at an amazing 5-6 million pounds. Now, contrast that to the Wright Brothers, Flyer which topped the scales at around 625 pounds. Another interesting fact is that it takes the space shuttle about 90 minutes to orbit the earth. The astronauts would see a sunrise or sunset every 45 minutes. Important to the story, some of it yes, most of it no, but all of it interesting.
So the question of paper or plastic, short story or novel is not a question of which is better, it’s more of a question of what you’re in the mood to read.

Eric and I just got home from spending the day with his step-brother and his step-brother’s wife. They live an hour away from us and driving home late at night sparks a number of conversations. Sometimes these conversations are pleasant; whereas, other times they are thought provoking and difficult. As we approached home, I asked Eric a thought provoking question….
I asked him if there were people in his past that he wishes he’d never met. His response was, “Of course,” which made me feel better because I also have a few people I wish had not graced my path. Interestingly, there are some people in my life, regardless of the pain I’ve suffered due to them, for whom I am thankful. Even though knowing them felt like punishment at the time – in retrospect, I see how much growing I did during those seasons in my life.
Then, there are other people that I allowed into my life against my better judgment that were in no way a blessing to me (perhaps someday the Lord will reveal to me how they were a blessing). Thankfully, there are not many people that I can fit into this category. In fact the list is quite small, but still significant. When I think about this category of people, all currently gone from my life, I find my heart filled with regret again. So much of my energy was spent on them and now so much of my energy is spent regretting them and the mistakes I made in regards to them. Telling this to Eric tonight, he simply asked me, “What good is the guilt doing in your life?” In essence: is the guilt blessing you? He can be so annoyingly wise. ~smile~
I imagine that I’m not alone. Do you have people from your past that you wish you could erase because of the wasted time and regret you associate with them? Do you find that, years after leaving them behind, you spend energy actively regretting their brief, or perhaps not so brief, presence in your life? If so, here are a few questions for you:
- Have you repented of any sin in your life surrounding your relationship with these people? Please don’t get me wrong. No one can make us sin; yet, when others encourage us to sin or manipulate us towards sinful behavior, it is natural to look back on them with anger and bitterness – just as we would toward someone who stuck his or her foot out to trip us.
- Have you forgiven them for their involvement in your sinful actions? Even though no one can make us sin, we do need to check our hearts and forgive those who have encouraged us to do wrong.
- Lastly, are you renewing your mind daily through prayer and Bible reading? (Romans 12:2) It seems that on days when I am diligent to read Scripture and pray, I have less desire – and time – to focus on my regrets (which leads me to focus on people I wish I’d never met). On such days, I have filled my mind with God’s truth, which combats the guilt, the anger, and the debilitating regret.
We can beg God to help us forgive someone – or for Him to take away our guilt; but, if we are not filling our minds and hearts with truth, unforgiveness and guilt will creep back in, take up residence in our hearts, and get cozy.
So, I’ve mulled over the question with which Eric responded in my mind. What good is repeating the guilt doing in my life? The obvious answer is: “none.” The guilt is not leading me to repentance because I have already repented. All that mentally replaying my regrets is doing for my life is paralyzing me. If I can stay stuck in the past, reviewing my failures, then I have no time, energy, or motivation, to press forward towards godliness (Philippians 3:14).
For those of us that struggle with guilt over past sins, it can feel like we are proving our repentance by continuously repeating our regret. “Hey, God: I was sorry yesterday, I’m sorry today, and I’ll be sorry tomorrow! Just please don’t forget that you have forgiven me!” Yes, that sounds silly, but don’t some of us act that way even when we’ve received His forgiveness? Sometimes, we just need to learn to move on. We see in Scripture that God’s work is always moving ahead. It’s not stuck in the past, so why are we?
Most of us have specific moments in our history we would love to go back and erase. Though, some of those experiences have made us who we are today. The beautiful thing is: if you have truly repented and turned from your sin, they have been erased – cast into the sea of forgetfulness.
When you feel regret creeping back into your mind, immediately combat it with Scripture and then fill your mind with the things of God: praise music, the Bible, prayer, talking to Godly friends, etc. When we don’t fill our minds with truth, we leave them wide open to receive torment from the enemy who seeks to kill, steal, and destroy (John 10:10). Replaying our guilt is not only a drain on ourselves, but on those closest to us. Sometimes, refusing to let go of our regrets can cost us relationships. So, turn those failures over to Him, leave your past behind, and press forward.
Is there regret in your past that you are holding onto which repeatedly returns in your mind?


Apple, in 2019, had announced its backing for integrating a smart home connectivity standard called ‘Matter’. However, as folks at 9to5Mac have reported, Apple’s smart home standard is now delayed. Matter aspires to integrate all smart home technology brands under a single security standard.
Since Apple has time and again impressed on users its focus on privacy and security, the tech giant has backed the Connectivity Standard Alliance in the development of Matter. The Cupertino company even laid the groundwork for the new connectivity standard in iOS 15. Once Matter rolls out, smart home devices from Apple, Google, and Amazon will comply with the new connectivity standard.
We’d hoped that the first Matter-compliant smart device might launch by the end of this year. However, in a recent blog post, Tobin Richardson, CEO of Connectivity Standard Alliance, explained the delay in launching Matter. According to Richardson’s blog, the SDK development needs finishing touches and might be ready by the first half of 2022.
All Matter-certified devices will have a standard regulation integrated by tech giants like Apple, Google, and Amazon. The manufacturers of smart home devices will have a common tool that will work with Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa. Since several companies are making smart home devices, Matter’s delay is no surprise as they have to integrate systems to work smoothly.

The new BMW F800GS
Nov 07, 2007
With the completely new enduro model, the F 800 GS, BMW Motorrad is not only expanding its range of products available, but also presenting a worthy successor to the totally successful F 650 GS with its single-cylinder engine. Even when it's parked, the amazingly offroad-capable F 800 GS adventure-tourer, with its sturdy appearance and long spring travel, indicates what it can do off-road. The signals it gives off are clear yet diverse: fun driving on all types of road, and stamina on journeys even when the destination can only be reached by gravel tracks. A high level of stability combined with playful handling are features of the new F 800 GS, as is high-quality workmanship, a strong chassis and impressive engine performance for maximum riding enjoyment.
The inline two-cylinder engine comes from the well-known F 800 model series, but beyond this, the enduro model has been completely redesigned. A completely new frame and new wheel suspension with new spring-shock absorber elements are used, for example, which will surpass the expectations of even the most demanding enduro riders. The belt drive and single-strut swing arm, which are ideal for pure on-road use, have been replaced by a light chain drive, which, in combination with a very stable, attractive aluminum profile double-strut swing arm, offers particular advantages in offroad riding in particular. The new GS is thus not only in its element on roads - it will also always find a way through off-road too.
The F 800 GS combines road and touring capabilities with superior offroad characteristics. It thus combines the two worlds in a way that has never before been achieved in this class and offers the maximum possible freedom in terms of its areas of use. BMW Motorrad has positioned the dynamic adventure-tourer at an attractive price, thus adding a real asset to the market.
For BMW Motorrad, the abbreviation "GS" is not an empty promise. This will be demonstrated in the future by the F 800 GS too, in continuation of a long tradition. The new model not only offers the typical qualities of an adventure-tourer - it also offers superb offroad riding capabilities. While large-capacity enduros sometimes reach their limits because of their weight and overall design, the new F 800 GS is completely unstoppable. The overall package combines balanced power and weight, excellent ground clearance, long spring travel, precise wheel guidance and sophisticated ergonomics, giving excellent offroad riding and excellent long-distance performance.
The chassis combines all the ingredients that a real enduro needs: a sturdy steel tube frame that allows a steering lock of 42 degrees, a rigid upside-down fork with 230 mm spring travel, a sturdy aluminum double-strut swing arm with a path-dependent cushioned spring strut and 215 mm spring travel and solid wire-spoke wheels. A 21-inch front wheel in the classic enduro dimensions of 90/90-21 gives running stability in slow offroad riding, while the rear wheel, with dimensions 150/70-17 ensures that the engine power is always transferred securely to the track.
The engine is the parallel twin from the F 800 S modified for the new usage, with its cylinders now only inclined 8.3 degrees forward. The strong, liquid-cooled four-valve two-cylinder is particularly convincing because of its spontaneous response, its impressive torque and its low fuel consumption. Nominally, the engine provides 85 HP at 7 500 min-1 and, at 5 750 min-1 sends a torque of 61 pound-feet to the sliding bearing based crankshaft. Thanks to the regulated three-way catalytic converter and secondary air system, the twin releases its power in a way that is absolutely environmentally friendly. The mass balance is provided by a system that is unique in standard motorcycle design: an additional swivel con-rod balances the first and second level mass forces and ensures that the two-cylinder functions with the minimum of vibrations.
The low dry weight of 178 kg makes a major contribution to the dynamic riding properties. When filled with fuel and ready to ride, the F 800 GS weighs in at just 207 kg. The F 800 GS offers an excellent level of seat comfort for both rider and passenger, along with a high standard of safety features. If required, it can be fitted ex factory with two-channel ABS that can be switched off. In addition, the extensive range of BMW accessories meets the further individual wishes of our demanding customers, as always.

Can EU states set CO2 limits for installations?
As the parliament debates an IPPC directive revision that will not create an EU emissions performance standard for CO2, member states ponder setting their own.
Is it legal, or isn't it? Member states’ confusion about whether they can set their own emissions performance standards (EPSs) for power plants was illustrated this autumn when the British and Dutch governments took opposite stances on the issue.
The UK is moving forward with plans to set emission limits on power plants, assuming this will be allowed under EU rules. In the Netherlands, following a parliament resolution calling for an EPS, the government suggested member states could not adopt their own caps. Asked for clarification, the European Commission has remained tight-lipped.
In effect, both stances could be right. The confusion centres on article 9 – previously article 10 – of the commission’s proposal to revise the IPPC directive on industrial pollution. The provision, part of an overall effort to align the directive with the EU’s emissions trading scheme (EU ETS), stipulates that EU ETS permits cannot contain an emission limit value unless it is needed to ensure the health of the local population.
UK plans individual caps
Over the summer the UK government wrote to the commission to inform it of plans to introduce caps for individual UK plants through the permitting regime. On the grounds that “the EU ETS is not, on its own, likely to be sufficient”, the British government said it would look at setting limits to settle uncertainties about future carbon prices. The commission response was that article 9 rules out introducing an EPS in the existing permitting regime.
Green group WWF argues that forbidding member states to set their own caps is illegal, because article 176 of the EU treaty allows countries to enact stricter national environmental laws. The commission maintains that article 9 does not violate this principle because there are ways to set the caps outside the parameters of the EU ETS and IPPC directives. But it has been vague about how this could be done.
“Behind the scenes, the commission has said that if a member state sets an EPS in a new national permit, separate to the IPPC-ETS permit, that would be lawful,” says the WWF’s Mark Johnston. “But even if that possibility makes the provision lawful, it’s still misleading.”
At the heart of the issue is the question of whether the EU ETS is working. NGOs have argued it cannot by itself provide a carbon price high enough to drive short- and medium-term investments in low-carbon technologies. But industry groups are opposed to two separate sets of legislation on CO2 emissions.
“Adding an EPS on top of the CO2 cap set for the EU ETS would not accelerate development of clean coal technology such as CCS, but would instead tend to force closure of coal-fired plants and incentivise construction of gas-fired plants,” says Chris Boothby of power industry group Eurelectric. “This would potentially lock more gas into the European electricity system for decades.”
He also highlights the potential anti-competitive effect on power plants of the country adopting the EPS. “If applied at national level, the member state would accrue additional costs, while the benefits – fewer plants needing emissions allowances leading to a lower CO2 price – would accrue to other member states.”
Mr Johnston says the reluctance of the commission to address the EPS issue isn’t just because of fierce industry opposition. “If one or more member states enact caps it’s an implied criticism of the EU ETS,” he says. The commission has agreed to review the need for an EU-wide EPS, but stresses this will not happen for a few years.
The European Parliament has also not been enthusiastic about an EU-wide EPS. Though several MEPs tabled amendments to the IPPC revision calling for large power plants to be subject to emission limits of 450 grams of CO2 per kilowatt hour, the parliament’s environment committee rejected the proposal in January 2009.
At a conference organised by Eurelectric in October, IPPC rapporteur Liberal Democrat MEP Holger Krahmer, said he would not reopen the debate on an EU EPS. The EU has made a “clear policy choice to use the emissions cap-and-trade system”, he said, and should not change course now.
While an EU-wide EPS appears unlikely any time soon, the issue of national caps is very much open. WWF is consulting with lawyers about the legality of article 9 and in January will present its position to the parliament, when it holds a second reading of the IPPC recast. Whether the provision is legal or not, WWF will argue it should be deleted because at the very least it creates confusion. The environment committee will vote on 23 February, with a final parliamentary vote in May.
Mr Johnston hopes that after Copenhagen the commission will be more forthcoming about the EPS issue. He notes that the climate bill proposed in the US senate contains a dual cap-and-trade/CO2 limit approach. The discussion that will be taking place around that in the winter, at the same time as the European Parliament discussions on IPPC, could change some minds about EPSs.
