By PHYLLIS FURMAN | NY DAILY NEWS BUSINESS WRITER
She’s blonde, she’s obsessed with improving your financial health and she talks to millions across the country through books, PBS specials, radio and television.
Sound like Suze Orman? Yes, but this fast-rising personal finance preacher speaks a different language: Spanish.
Meet Julie Stav, the host of Univision’s national radio talk show “Tu Dinero con Julie Stav.” It is heard in New York, Mondays through Fridays, at noon on WADO (1280 AM).
When this Hispanic money diva’s not taking questions in her radio studio, she’s doling out financial tips on the set of Univision’s national evening news broadcasts and morning show “Despierta America.”
Stav has appeared on ABC’s “The View,” coaching Barbara Walters and her gang on starting an investment club. And after penning two best-selling money books, she’s about to launch her own Spanish language money magazine, also called “Tu Dinero,” in partnership with Spanish language publishing giant Editorial Televisa.
“Julie is becoming an icon,” said Univision Radio vice president Jorge Plasencia. “She’s a pioneer in this area of helping Hispanics make money.”
A Cuban immigrant, Stav says her goal is to improve the lives of Hispanics by teaching them financial empowerment.
Her audience “came to this country to carve out a better future,” Stav said in an interview, calling in from her office in Calabasas, Calif. “It’s not enough to work hard, you have to work smart. You have the same access to information as Bill Gates.”
Her radio callers run the gamut from housekeepers to janitors to students to small business owners. Some want to know how they can invest in stocks if they don’t have a Social Security number because they are not yet documented.
“They may not have fancy jobs, but they want to invest their money,” said Jaime Mejia, editor in chief of “Tu Dinero” magazine.
Stav’s growing clout ó ratings on the radio show have tripled since its start three years ago and sponsors like State Farm, Chrysler and Office Depot have signed on ó reflects both the rise of Hispanics in this country and their hunger for financial information.
As the Hispanic population has surged, its buying power has jumped to nearly $700 billion and is projected to reach as much as $1 trillion by the end of decade, according to HispanTelligence.
Nonetheless, Latinos still lag far behind in key areas like home ownership, banking, retirement savings and stocks and mutual fund investments. Experts cite a continued distrust of financial institutions because of the troubled banking system in Latin America. Hispanics also send much of the money they earn here to help out family members in their countries of origin.
In the city, more than half of the Hispanic population does not have a checking account, according to a recent survey of Hispanics conducted by Bank of America. Fewer than one-third have a savings account and an astonishing 93% have no retirement plan.
“People come to me and say, ‘I have a little money ó $250,000,’ ” said Stav. “They say, ‘I have it all in my home, and I don’t know what to do with it!’ “
Stav taught herself how to make money and today is a wealthy mogul. Born Julieta Alfonso, she came to this country alone at age 14. Her parents later followed. Because she spoke no English, her high school deemed her mentally retarded.
When she was in her mid 30s, she was a divorced teacher and broke. She read a book on investing and decided to make a career change to financial planner, teaching by day and studying by night.
After organizing local stock seminars, she wrote her own book on investing. PBS asked her to do a special ó Stav insisted that it be in Spanish ó and other media deals followed.
“There was no one else doing this,” Stav said. “There is a tremendous thirst out there for this kind of information.”
Julie Stav is on a mission to educate Hispanics about money. Here are some of her most important pieces of advice:
Stop Being Invisible. “Open a checking account. Stop paying the check cashing place,” she says.
If you don’t have a Social Security number, you can get an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) which will allow you to open a bank account.
Take the money out of the mattress and start investing.
Write a budget. Once you have what you think you need for the next two years, start to think about investing. If you can endure the risks, consider stocks. Mutual funds offer a more conservative approach.
Learn how the credit system works. Get a credit card, but use it judiciously.

1896 1:1056 OS Town Plan. There have been many changes in the layout of the goods yard since the 1876 map. The incline (indicated in yellow) to the lower yard on the north of the viaduct has been rebuilt further west. It trails of the down fast line and immediately dives under the new lines to emerge in the lower yard. It is clear from this map that the headshunt at the foot of the incline was nowhere near long enough to accommodate a train of more than, perhaps half a dozen wagons. Much of the north yard has been re-laid and a number of lines (indicated in red) are seen passing beneath the viaduct. Two of these, at the east end, emerge on the south side of the viaduct to serve an extension of the yard on that side; the other three do not emerge on the south side and would have served the coal depot located below the viaduct. These are likely to have been connected to another line running under and parallel to the viaduct but there is no documentary evidence of this. The yard on the south side of the viaduct handled coal and building materials. As well as the original entrance to the south side, at the north end of Bancroft Road there is also an entrance with a weighbridge (WM) at the end of Longnor Road. The entrance to the yard on the north side at the end of Warley Road now has two weighbridges. The Devonshire Street coaling stage is seen on the edge of the embankment just west of the Bancroft Street weighbridge (by the letters F.A.). The siding alongside the Regents Canal at the east end of the north yard has now gone but an elevated siding continues off the end of the viaduct running above other sidings to serve coal chutes alongside the Regents Canal on the south side. Two signal boxes are shown: Devonshire Street at the west end of the yard and Canal alongside the Regents Canal.

Everyone should eat at least a bowl of fruits in a day for complete nutrition. This gives energy and strengthens the body parts. But, children are picky. They neither like vegetables nor fruits. Thus, they lack nutrition in the body and suffer from different health issues. And the parents have to suffer because of the same.
People give different pieces of advice to parents to make their children eat fruits. But, unfortunately, most of the advice fails.
We know what you go through as parents. So, we recommend giving your children fruit drinks with vitamins and other nutrients. The drinks will complete your children’s nutrition requirements on the go.
Are you doubtful about the fruit drinks?
It’s not just you, but many parents hesitate to give fruit drinks to their children thinking they contain sugar and artificial ingredients. They also feel that some drinks are caffeinated and poorer than soda drinks. And because of this, they fear calorie increase in their children.
We don’t say that you are wrong. There are fruit drinks in the market that are adulterated. They contain the wrong ingredients and harmful colors to give the look of fruits.
If you buy Bragulat’s fruit drinks, you will have no complaints. Whichever fruit your children love, you will find fruit drinks of that flavor with us. Our fruit drinks with vitamins A, C, and E have no sugar and are vegan-friendly. Most importantly, the calorie level is very low in our fruit drinks. Other than this, they are prepared with real fruits and no artificial agents are used.
What fruit drinks and how much should you give to your children?
Each fruit has a unique profile with nutritional benefits that boost different vitamins and minerals. But, according to us, you should choose citrus fruits for Vitamin C, apples for Vitamin A, and bananas for potassium. You can opt for a multivitamin fruit drink.
Compared to 1 large bowl of fruit, you should give a full glass of fruit drink to your children. This will fulfill the daily fruit requirement of your children and there will be no need for extra fruit intake.
If children want more, you can give them because there are no side effects associated with them.
When should you introduce fruit drinks to your children?
You can introduce fruit drinks to your children when they are 6 months old. As babies have small stomach capacities, they require a wealth of calories and nutrients to grow and thrive. Juice drinks will fill the babies up without providing them with things they need from breast milk or formula.
For one to three years of children, about 4 ounces of fruit drink is recommended and for four to five years children, 4 to 6 ounces of fruit drink is recommended in a day. Rest, you should check the package of the fruit drinks.
What should you know before buying fruit drinks for your children?
You should determine the capacity and fruit preference of your children. Also, you should prefer a reputable brand, like Bragulat, and read the ingredients present in the fruit drinks.

This week brings two more announcements involving small town gigabit networks. One comes from LS Networks, a company formed by a consortium of electric cooperatives, which will offer broadband at speeds between 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps in rural Maupin, Oregon. The other announcement comes from MaxxSouth Broadband, a company that operates fiber-to-the-home networks in three Mississippi markets and plans to launch gigabit service in Oxford, Mississippi – a college town with a population of 20,000.
Small Town Gigabit Networks
Smaller town gigabit networks are more common than one might expect, because many of the smaller carriers that serve those towns had previously deployed fiber-to-the-home networks, which in many cases can be easily upgraded to support gigabit service. Neither the LS Networks nor the MaxxSouth Broadband announcement today involved a network upgrade, however. Both companies are making their initial FTTH deployments in the announced communities.
LS Networks was founded in 2005 specifically to bring better broadband to rural Oregon. According to the company’s website “our priority has been to provide service before profit, often investing resources into the community without immediate financial returns.”
The company did get some help in financing the Maupin network, which came in the form of a $410,000 state grant through a partnership with the QualityLife Intergovernmental Agency. The entire project is expected to cost $1.2 million, with service launched to some residents beginning in the spring of 2017.
LS Networks already announced that it plans to charge $40 for 100 Mbps service and $70 for 1 Gbps service.
A MaxxSouth Broadband spokesperson told Telecompetitor that the company several years ago purchased the incumbent cable operator in Oxford. The company also provides broadband but not voice service. To support gigabit service, however, the company is deploying a FTTH network. MaxxSouth Broadband already offers FTTH in two other Mississippi communities – Starkville and Carthage.
The initial phase of the gigabit deployment in Oxford is expected to be completed in early 2017 and to reach 3,000 homes. Over the next few years, MaxxSouth plans to deploy FTTH service throughout Lafayette County, of which Oxford is the county seat.
MaxxSouth is not the only company with broadband ambitions in Mississippi. C Spire, traditionally a wireless carrier, also has been deploying FTTH networks in the state and has made Starkville one of its gigabit markets, as well as building a data center there. C Spire also offers Wi-Fi at the University of Mississippi football stadium in Oxford.
MaxxSouth Broadband is a subsidiary of media holding company Block Communications Inc.

Representatives of McColly Real Estate’s 17 local offices in Northwest Indiana and Illinois recently conducted a month-long “baby shower” collection drive for necessities to be donated to St. Monica Home on the Franciscan St. Margaret Health-Dyer campus.
Melissa Coduti, second from right, said she came up with the plan after checking online for community donation ideas and a fitting area agency to be the recipient. The company also distributed a press release, made posters and put notices on social media, advertising the drive.
The McColly Foundation campaign has benefited numerous area programs. St. Monica manager Liz Guzman-Arredondo, left, called the effort “awesome and a great surprise,” adding she received the call about the collection “out of the blue.”
Since 1994, the home has offered a medically sound and emotionally healthy residential environment for women aged 12 to 21 who are awaiting the birth of a child. Residents, whose average length of stay is nine months, learn positive relationships and parenting skills under the guidance of experienced and encouraging resident advisers.
Also shown, from left, are Suzanne Davidson, Franciscan St. Margaret Health nursing director; and McColly representatives Sue Frank and Maria McShane.

State Route 55 (SR 55) is a 58.758-mile-long (94.562 km) state highway in the southern part of the U.S. state of Alabama. The southern terminus of the highway is at the Florida state line, where the highway continues as Florida State Road 85. The northern terminus of the highway is at an intersection with SR 106 at Georgiana in southern Butler County.
SR 55 is a continuation of a route heading northward from Fort Walton Beach and Crestview, Florida. It enters the state at the border town of Florala, where it continues as Florida State Road 85. As the highway heads towards Andalusia, it travels through the Conecuh National Forest.
The highway intersects US 29/US 84 at Andalusia, forming a brief wrong-way concurrency, as southbound US 29 shares the same roadway as northbound SR 55, as well as westbound US 84. SR 55 and US 84 are concurrent as they lead northwesterly from Andalusia. At the small community of River Falls, SR 55 splits from US 84 and heads northward towards McKenzie, where it joins with US 31. Just south of Georgiana, US 31 splits from the route which continues to its terminus at SR 106, which connects with Interstate 65 (I-65).
This highway is increasing in popularity with travelers headed to the Fort Walton/Destin area.

INDIANAPOLIS. Telogis Inc. has introduced a system that prevents drivers from unauthorized access to mobile devices of all types while their vehicle is in motion. The Telogis Distracted Driving Solution enables fleets to enforce company and Federal bans on using mobile devices whether they are company-issued or personally owned, according to the company.
Using a Bluetoooth Trigger Unit from Cellcontrol, the system blocks unauthorized calls, emails, texts and Internet access on mobile phones, tablets or laptops running Android, iOS or Blackberry operating systems, the company said. No other system blocks access to multiple devices at once, according to Telogis.
Pointing to the high percentage of accidents attributed to mobile device use and recent U.S. Dept. of Transportation rules restricting use of those devices by commercial vehicle drivers, Telogis VP of product management Mark Wallin said, “Telogis now has a simple cost-effective way to add another level of safety.”

Twice today I got lost. I don't know why but in a way I lost my mind or wasn't focused or it was because I was distracted because of the traffic jams. The days pass by fast and it doesn't matter if I start at 5 am or 7 am I'm always running out of time.
This morning one child started at work later and so I arrived later at the market. Fortunately, I was just in time because they were almost out of milk. Good to know for next time. It is wiser to go to the market at six in the morning rather than nine. I bought some small cucumbers and tiny potatoes for 30 cents per kilogram. New potatoes that I can cook in the skin. Nice and easy. Not that we eat much lately. It's hot and I don't feel much like cooking and baking. We eat our own salad almost every day. I don't use the whole head but take off a few leaves so that the head can grow as long as possible.
I moved most of the plants yesterday. Everything is placed under a tree. It was quite a haul but this is the only way to protect the plants from the sun. Watering twice a day was often not enough.
The current state is that about 60 per cent of all seedlings died. My only bought cucumber plant doesn't look too good. One cucumber was eaten and although it was full of small cucumbers, they all dried out or rotted. Of my 9 seedlings, 4 are left. One is about ten centimetres high and has flowers. I am not going to do anything about it and hope that it will produce cucumbers.
As for my tomato plants. The four I bought all have tomatoes although they are still green. I hope that the two tall plants will not be destroyed because all tomatoes are at the top of the plant. As I told you before, the first two plants almost died after I planted them in the garden. I dug them out and put them in bags. These plants have grown branches again but have never grown high. They do have tomatoes and more than the two high plants which I bought two weeks later.
In the meantime, the mini tomato plants, Tiny Tim, also have flowers and another variety sown much later has grown almost as big as Tiny Tim. There are no flowers yet.
I bought two paprika plants and two chilli pepper plants at the market. The paprika plants are big but have no flowers yet. The chilli pepper plants look totally different but are full of flowers and one even has green chillies. So they are doing unexpectedly well.
The dill remains a problem. The seeds do come up but re-potting is a problem and often they die from lack of water, too much sun or too little water. It is difficult to find out the exact reason why a lot of dill does not do well. Birds have also eaten the plants.
Meanwhile, I have 3 mint plants. Two have overwintered and one I bought. I also have four cuttings and I am going to plant them. As far as I am concerned one can never have enough of it. We drink mint tea every day and if so you pick faster than it grows. The mint plants also suffer from lack of water (I suspect they do) since the leaves sometimes look crumpled but there is not much I can do about that.
The potatoes seem to be wilting. Too hot or time to dig? I just read the right time is between 10 - 15 weeks. I have put all plants in buckets (and what I have bagged) in a shady corner. In a few days' time, I will go and see if there are any potatoes. If not, it is bad luck. There are still two potato fields and on the first field, some potatoes are flowering. I have no idea what variety this is except these potatoes must be yellow. Some I grew from pieces of potatoes that sprouted and some I bought to plant.
The onions and garlic look sad. Everything is lacking water and I will be honest I have no idea how often to water when it is hot. I can't keep the soil moist plus I lack mulch. Speaking of mulch, my compost heaps are not growing very well either. This is the first summer I hardly need to mow. For the last few weeks, there was no need to. Maybe this weekend or next week I will do a bit. By the way, I noticed the chickens are quite spoilt. They are clearly used to factory-produced chicken food and turn their noses up at grass, vegetables, fruits, and the edible stuff that doesn't go to the compost heap.
By the way, I do use some green from the onions in the dishes.
The sunflowers... The last one I planted outside is still very small. The other 6 (out of 11) are also suffering from water shortages despite me watering them twice a day. I am clearly not the only one having problems. The farmers in the surrounding area deal with it too. Their grain (all of a sudden there is a lot of grain) is not high but that does not matter since it's about the grain. Turn out the corn hardly grows. There are too many weeds and if not nothing grows. I know the farmer has sprayed the field I am facing with poison. The result is that weeds are everywhere on the field. Here the minimum of agriculture is done. The use of fertilizer is not standard. Horse manure is not used. Strange since there are plenty of horses in the area. If it comes to horse manure I remember how great a field of salad growing on beach sand looked. The only fertilizer used was horse manure found on the beach.
Some buy fertiliser, but the manure from the sheepfold half a kilometre away is also sold once or twice a year. I am curious to know what else these sheep are used for, as the people over here do not really eat sheep. Maybe the average person uses them to keep grass and weeds short and yet for the manure? I don't know yet if my chicken manure can be used. For now, I throw it with hay on one of the compost heaps and it will stay there for at least a year, most likely longer.
Fruit so far has been mostly morello cherries and I have eaten red currants for two days. The currants are from a bush that I discovered last year and planted years ago. That bush never grew and I considered it dead. This year it grew already a bit bigger than last year and I try to water it. It stands along the fence and is sheltered by trees, which turns out to be a windfall. The birds have not touched the berries.
The blackberry bush I planted last year (all the other bushes died) has some fruit this year. This bush is without thorns so it is also a genetically changed bush. Last year I told how I had tied it to the fence. This year this shrub has also grown a bit and I can let it grow a bit better along the fence. I also try to water the bramble bush regularly.
The two bought peach and single grape are still alive and I water them daily. I wonder how many years it will take before they bear fruit. The hazelnut tree from last year that looked dead has some leaves and the apple tree from a year older has some new branches at the bottom of the trunk. For the rest, the tree is dead and black. My two melon plants are still alive and have flowers and that's all I can say about it.
All trees in the garden suffer from water shortage. If it continues like this, they will lose their leaves. This is not the first time this has happened. Since 2012, this has already happened twice. To be honest, I prefer the drought to the weeks of rain and mudslides outside.
Two of the three new lavender plants have grown fast and are attracting a lot of butterflies. It's the first time I've seen butterflies here. The last two old lavender plants have died. I have the idea that many plants are not rooted deep enough after all. I don't know exactly what causes this.
I still have lettuce, but I think the new seedlings are not doing very well. That may be the reason why I don't see lettuce in the shops and on the market any more. Fortunately, I still have plenty of seed and also plenty of lettuce (for the next 21 days) so as far as lettuce is concerned, I am not dissatisfied. By the way, I did not know that lettuce is related to the dandelion and chicory. An interesting fact in itself. I also read that people used to eat bitter food much more often. Could it be that the food industry has been feeding people more and more sugar? Bitter food appears to be healthy.
My bagged carrots are not doing very well. The green grows faster than the carrot. I have sown another patch of Parisian carrots but I doubt it will turn out well.
As I wrote, most plants are struggling here. The question is what can I grow? Making the garden cosy with all kinds of things growing and flowering is therefore not possible. It is either too cold (for a long time) or there is too much wind and everything gets blown to pieces or it is too hot.
I believe it is a good idea to keep all plants close together, and not to worry too much about what the experts say. The problem is that no situation is the same, no year is the same as regards the weather and so it remains a trial and error exercise. Weeds and who knows also poison in the soil make life difficult for the plants here. So I only will and can grow in growing bags or containers. A vegetable garden box is still on my wish list. This is a box of 9 compartments and each compartment is 30 x 30 centimetres. I sow and harvest something different in each section from April to November. Growing bags can be moved around which is practical. Keeping everything I sow or plant together is too. It saves a lot of walking back and forth.
I would like to have an easy vegetable garden that doesn't require too much work. I hope to be able to sow some more winter vegetables later this year and I will also try the garlic then.
By the way, I have two pieces of ginger lying. One was planted weeks ago and the other is loose on a table. Guess which piece has grown the furthest.
So much for my garden journal. It is June 24, 2022 and I have my own tea, and some dill (my favourite), two types of salad, eggs and prepared cherries (syrup, jam, liqueur, cherry cheesecake and bread beer). Let's see what the next weeks will bring.

Books can take you to unimaginable places, but here are the top real-life destinations you can take your love for books to.
The road of the traveling book lover is fraught with hardship: while the carefree traveler traipses from one destination to the next with a light carry-on and a spring in their step, the travels of the fretful book connoisseur are typically weighed down by questions such as “How many books can I fit into my carry on?” and “Should I pack more underwear, or more books?”.
While we can’t offer answers to these real-life dilemmas, we can share with you eleven destinations where you certainly won’t be judged for having packed more books than clothes in your suitcase.
Top Picks for You
Size up the Competition at the Hemingway Look-Alike Contest in Key West
Ernest Hemingway was a celebrated author, renowned for his tendency to … ehm, often find himself seeing double. Now you can step into his shoes, if you will, and head down to Key West in July for the Hemingway Look-Alike Contest. The four-day event is riddled with fun Hemingway inspired activities such as the “Annual Running of the Bulls”—in which the bulls are replaced by the lookalike competitors stampeding down the streets of Key West. Make sure not to miss out on the grand finale: a 7 category “Arm Wrestling Championship” that would make the brawny original Hemingway proud.
Visit the Oldest Library in the World in Fez
The al-Qarawiyyin library opened its doors in 859 A.D. and they have stayed that way ever since. Founded by a female benefactor, Fatima al-Fihri, who aimed to create a lasting center for learning in Fez—and succeeded. It now houses some of the oldest manuscripts in the world, including a 9th-century copy of the Qur’an. Besides basking in the seriously ancient old-book smell permeating its halls, visitors will appreciate the breathtaking views of the age-old city of Fez from the rooftop terrace.
Watch Some Shakespeare Live at the Globe Theatre in London
Enjoy the works of the bard as they were meant to: through live theater. Although the current Globe Theatre is not as old as it may appear—it was built in 1997—it was modeled on designs of the original theatre that was demolished in 1644 by the infamous Puritans (of colonizing the United States-fame). Just 750 feet away from the original site and right on the banks of the River Thames, the Globe Theater offers regular productions of Shakespeare’s greatest hits, theatre tours, and a riveting exhibition on the bard’s life and work.
Spend a Night at Book and Bed in Tokyo
If you ever dreamed of sleeping in a bookshelf, then this charming 30-bed hostel in Tokyo will make your dreams come true. Each simple bed is nestled among cubbies overflowing with books. The sleeping areas are snug but guests come here for the full-on bookworm experience. Bookshelves are well-stocked with tomes in English and Japanese, all exclusively for the enjoyment of their patrons. Got caught up in a page-turner? Then you’ll have to book another night in Book and Bed to get to the end of it!
Turn a New Page at Trinity College in Dublin
The Book of Kells is regarded as the finest medieval manuscript in existence, and with good reason: it has surprisingly been able to withstand the test of time with barely a scratch. Dating from the 7th-century, the colors in this hand-crafted and intricately illuminated tome are still as vivid as the day the monks etched them on to decorate its main contents, the Four Gospels. Today the 340-folio book is housed within the university’s impressive Old Library—which has served as a set for many a movie—that merits a visit of its own while in Dublin. Every day, library staff open the temperature-regulated encasing to turn a new page. Appreciating the illuminated manuscript in its entirety would take you about half a year! (Or you can just buy a copy in the gift shop.)
Celebrate Burns Night in Scotland
Every January 25, Scots gather to celebrate the life of poet Robert Burns, who died in 1796. The first Burns Night was held by his own friends in 1801 who, five years after his death, decided to pay tribute to his life’s work. Being one of the rare poets to pen his work in proper Scots dialect, the tradition quickly caught on and Robert Burns soon became a national symbol for all of Scotland. The festivities usually take place in the evening (hence Burns Night) and involve a Burns supper: copious amounts of whisky (surprise!), haggis as the centerpiece of the banquet, melancholic bagpipes, and (of course) the reading of his verses.
Take to Bath for the Jane Austen Festival
Arguably an event of epic proportions, the Jane Austen Festival gathers hundreds of the writer’s most fervent enthusiasts in the city of Bath every year for Regency era themed fun. Touted as a “ten-day celebration of all things Austen,” it includes lectures, parades, performances, readings, visits, history lessons, dancing, music, a masked ball and more—all tied up with the aptly named “Darcy’s Ball,” the event of the season for any self-respecting Jane Austen fan, during which attendees get to delve into a reenactment of what could have happened after the end of Austen’s most famous work, Pride and Prejudice.
Die and Go to Book Heaven at the Livraria Lello in Porto
Dubbed by many as “the most beautiful bookshop in the world,” this gem opened in Porto in 1906. Although neo-Gothic is usually an architectural style reserved for ornate cathedrals, this bookshop makes for an excellent example of this sumptuous turn-of-the-century movement, which also comes with a heavy serving of both art nouveau and art deco. Livraria Lello’s crowning jewel is its crimson staircase, leading customers up into book heaven. To control the crowds, the owners have instituted a 5 euro cover charge (which can be purchased via their website) to visit the bookshop, which is taken off the price of any book you may decide to buy during your visit.
INSIDER TIP: Livraria Lello is also said to have inspired the look of Hogwarts in J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series.
Rouge up Oscar Wilde's Tomb in Paris
“A kiss may ruin a human life,” Oscar Wilde once said. Little did he know that those words might also ruin his tomb in Père-Lachaise Cemetery. It was the phrase that launched a thousand kisses: a decades-old tradition of covering the Irish writer’s tomb with lipstick prints to honor his genius, which ended up causing serious damage to his mausoleum. Fans looking to perpetuate this tradition might find it a bit more challenging now that the city of Paris has decided his final resting place might be in need of protection from the hordes of admirers longing to put their rouged-up lips near his tomb and have built a kiss-proof see-through barrier encircling it. Nevertheless, lipstick-wearing Wilde aficionados might still indulge in this rite of passage responsibly, by leaving their mark in his honor on the protective glass.
Track Down Your Reading List for the Year at the International Book Fair in Guadalajara
From Allende to Ruiz Zafón, this is where aficionados of Spanish-language literature will have an occasion to bask in one of the world’s leading publishing industries to their heart’s content. This yearly 9-day event in Guadalajara, Mexico is a must-go destination for authors, their readers—and of course, their translators. Aside from browsing through the millions of books on offer, visitors to the International Book Fair can attend readings, exhibits, meet-and-greets with the most prominent authors, panels, debates, and the yearly awards ceremony that celebrates both established and up-and-coming talent in the domain of Spanish-language literature.
Channel Your Literary Heroes at Shakespeare & Company in Paris
This quaint bookshop along the banks of the Seine opened in 1951, and hardly anything from its original wooden interior has changed since. Its previous iteration, which opened in 1922 but closed down during the German occupation of Paris, was heralded as the hang-out for then-unknown années folles (Crazy Years) writers such as Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, and Ezra Pound. The bookshop still embodies that rebellious disaffected spirit and remains the bastion of English-language literature amidst its French-speaking surroundings. The magic of this shop is not necessarily in its break taking view of Notre-Dame from across the quay, but rather in its steadfast tradition of opening its doors to itinerant artists who need a place to stay while in Paris—to date some 30,000 of them. The shop fondly refers to them as Tumbleweeds, and there are only three things asked of them during their stay: read a book a day, help at the shop for a few hours a day, and produce a one-page autobiography. The latter now form part of Shakespeare & Company’s ever-growing archive of stories from travelers who have found hospitality within its walls.

TIME names “The Silence Breakers” Person of the Year for 2017
by Taylor Sperry
Weeks after Donald Trump’s ludicrous and embarrassing claim that he “took a pass” on TIME magazine’s invitation to name him person of the year—an honor with which the President is childishly obsessed—the magazine has given the title to a group it’s calling “The Silence Breakers.”
TIME’s editor in chief Edward Felsenthal made the announcement on the “Today” show yesterday morning (just one week after the morning program’s lead anchor, Matt Lauer, was fired for sexual harassment), saying the women who spoke out against Harvey Weinstein earlier this fall, and the ensuing #MeToo movement, had triggered the “fastest-moving social change we’ve seen in decades,” and highlighted that “it began with individual acts of courage by women—and some men too—who came forward to tell their own stories about sexual harassment and assault.”
TIME’s “Silence Breakers” include Tarana Burke, the “Me Too” creator; Ashley Judd, the first woman to go on record with her allegations against Weinstein; Adama Iwu, a lobbyist; Dana Lewis, a hotel hospitality coordinator; Celeste Kidd, a university professor; Sara Gelser, a state senator; Juana Melara, a hotel housekeeper; Susan Fowler, a former Uber engineer; celebrities like Selma Blair, Rose McGowan, and Alyssa Milano; and many others.
In their piece for for TIME, Stephanie Zacharek, Eliana Dockterman, and Haley Sweetland Edwards write:
This reckoning appears to have sprung up overnight. But it has actually been simmering for years, decades, centuries. Women have had it with bosses and co-workers who not only cross boundaries but don’t even seem to know that boundaries exist. They’ve had it with the fear of retaliation, of being blackballed, of being fired from a job they can’t afford to lose. They’ve had it with the code of going along to get along. They’ve had it with men who use their power to take what they want from women. These silence breakers have started a revolution of refusal, gathering strength by the day, and in the past two months alone, their collective anger has spurred immediate and shocking results: nearly every day, CEOs have been fired, moguls toppled, icons disgraced. In some cases, criminal charges have been brought.
On the “Access Hollywood” tapes leaked last year, we heard the President say, “I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it, you can do anything… grab them by the pussy.”
Well, not anymore.
Taylor Sperry is a former Melville House editor.

Mayor Paul Callaghan has been reelected to a second term, victorious in the recent election in Rochester, New Hampshire. Callaghan expressed his gratitude and excitement to continue serving the community of Rochester in a statement. He mentioned the privilege and honor he feels to be able to work towards improving the city, making it a better place for the residents. In his victory speech, Callaghan also highlighted the significance of collaborating with the city’s inhabitants to move Rochester in a forward trajectory.
Callaghan secured 2,937 votes, triumphing over his opponent, Susan Rice, who garnered 813 votes. A notable aspect of the election was the departure of eight of the 13 members of the existing City Council, ensuring that the incoming council will consist of mostly new members.
Additionally, the voters of Rochester approved sportsbook gambling, with 2,026 votes in favor and 1,801 against. This decision could potentially integrate betting on games as part of the casino planned at the Lilac Mall, subject to certain zoning and regulatory provisions.
As for the City Council election results, notable victories included Patricia Turner in Ward 1, Seat A, and Chuck Creteau in Ward 4, Seat B. Meanwhile, several incumbent councilors secured their positions unopposed. The School Board elections also saw incumbents like Shane Downs and Sarah Harrington successfully retain their seats, along with other newcomers elected to the board.
Moreover, the Rochester Police Commission had an intense race for the Wards 3-4 seat as John Larochelle bested the incumbent, David Winship. Notably, David Stevens and Donna Bogan ran unopposed and emerged as winners for their designated seats on the commission.
In conclusion, the recent elections witnessed significant changes in Rochester’s leadership, and the incoming members are set to embark on their respective roles to contribute to the progress and development of the city.


Gaming Consoles & PCs How to Connect Bluetooth Headphones to PS4 Immerse yourself in the action with a good pair of wireless headphones by Jordan Baranowski Writer Jordan Baranowski is a former Lifewire writer and educator with experience writing for SVG, The Nerd Stash, and Feast Magazine. our editorial process Twitter LinkedIn Jordan Baranowski Updated on March 16, 2020 Consoles & PCs Xbox Buyer's Guide Tweet Share Email Many video games are designed to be played with high-end headphones, and if you're playing on a console, you'll want to have a pair of wireless headphones. Whether you are a late night gamer who doesn't want to wake the rest of the house, or you just want to be as immersed in the action as you can possibly be, here's how to pair those Bluetooth headphones on PS4. Check Sony's list of PlayStation compatible headsets to see if your headset is officially compatible with either the PS3 or PS4. If you haven't purchased a Bluetooth headset yet, and pairing it with your PlayStation is your priority, you should choose an option from that list. How to Pair Supported Bluetooth Headphones to PS4 Turn on your Bluetooth headset and set it to Pair mode. If you're unsure how to put your headset into Pair mode, check the usual manual that came with it. On your PlayStation 4, go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth Devices. Select your compatible headset from the list to pair it with the PS4. If the headset doesn't appear, try resetting your headset or console. That's it! How to Connect Unsupported Bluetooth Headphones to PS4 If your Bluetooth headset isn't on the list of officially compatible devices, it may still be possible to connect it using a simple workaround. You will need an audio cable with a built-in microphone, which is included with most Bluetooth headsets. Even if you follow these steps, not every headset is guaranteed to work with this method. Connect the headset and the PlayStation 4 controller with the aforementioned audio cable, then turn on your headset. Again, from the PlayStation 4, go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth Devices. Then, select the name of your headset. Once you have activated your headset, navigate back to the Devices menu and select Audio Devices. Select Output Device > Headset Connected to Controller. You'll probably need to adjust the volume on this menu as well, using Volume Control (Headphones). Finally, select Output to Headphones and make sure you select All Audio, as opposed to Chat Audio. Jump in a game and cross those fingers––this process should work with most Bluetooth headsets. Use a USB Adapter to Connect Your Headset to Your PS4 There are plenty of USB devices that can be used to connect Bluetooth devices to different things––your PlayStation 4 included. Here's how to get it connected: Insert the USB adapter into an available USB port on your PlayStation 4. Turn on your device so your PlayStation 4 can identify it. From the console, go to Settings > Devices > Audio Devices. Select Output Device > Usb Headset. You'll probably need to adjust the volume from this menu as well. It will take a bit of guesswork, but you probably want the volume set, at the very least, to the halfway point. Select Output to Headphones, then select All Audio. Load up your favorite game and see if your headset and volume are set where you need them. If your headset won't connect using any of these methods, you'll need to invest in a different headset.

Blais Civil Engineers recently opened its doors to area students. In the same week, students from McCauley High School in Portland and Kaler Elementary School in South Portland stopped by the office to learn about civil engineering.
On March 25th and 26th, two juniors from McCauley High School job shadowed at Blais Civil Engineers. They learned about the basics of stormwater, drafting and plan production, and joined an internal staff meeting as well as a MEREDA Legislative Committee meeting. The two students are in the process of applying to colleges and include engineering among their potential majors. We wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors and hope they keep in touch.
On March 28th, 28 students and two teachers from Kaler Elementary School walked along Broadway in South Portland to learn about businesses in the area. While at Blais Civil Engineers, the students learned about how we use technology to work together, updates on current projects and asked some great questions like, "How long does it take you to make a drawing?" and "What kind of people help you?"
It is important to Blais Civil Engineers to give back to the community and reach out, especially to students, by explaining what we do as engineers. We hope the short time at our office and with our staff planted a few seeds with these students and that they continue to grow more curious about how the world around them works!
We were pleased that so many students stopped by and that there is so much interest in pursuing our profession!

GEO members they have recovered a lifeless body in the search that is being carried out since Pablo Sierra, a 21-year-old mathematics student who has been missing since December 3, disappeared, according to The country. This medium confirms that the identity of the body is that of the missing youth, although others like Cadena SER do not assure, for the moment, that it is Pablo Sierra. The young man had a fight that day in a bar from Zurbarán street, they expelled him from the premises and a friend accompanied him to take a taxi to return to the student residence where he lived with his twin brother. That was the last time he was heard from.
The Badajoz Police Headquarters has confirmed that they have found the body, but not his identity. The corpse has not yet been raised, although the boy’s mobile phone was found in the same area by a a civil guard agent off duty in ‘el Pico del Guadiana’, a place near the drinking area where he was last seen. The device was in the water and had traces of blood, but they do not rule out that it fell by chance.
The morning after the disappearance, his brother, seeing that he had not arrived home, called him on his mobile phone. The aforementioned agent took it, who I was walking at that time along the bank of the river and saw the device glow when he was receiving the call. In the same place they have found the body, which would have been marked by a dog from the canine unit, which had joined the search this Wednesday, according to SER string.

from AHMED ZAYED in Tripoli, Libya
TRIPOLI, (CAJ News) – A VOTE of no confidence the House of Representatives (HoR) has passed against the Government of National Unity (GNU) has raised international concern and is a major setback towards retaining peace in Libya.
The vote of no confidence against the government of interim Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah is a culmination of Tripoli-based administration and the House of Representatives in the east.
It comes months before elections are held in December.
The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) has expressed concern.
The mission confirmed that the current GNU remained the legitimate government up until it is replaced by another administration through a regular process, following the elections.
“Its focus remains bringing the country towards the parliamentary and presidential elections on 24 December 2021 and providing the necessary services to the people,” UNSMIL stated.
Ján Kubiš, Special Envoy of the Secretary-General and Head of UNSMIL, emphasized the mission expected that the efforts of the HoR would focus on finalizing the parliamentary elections law and that the leadership of the HoR would advance efforts to build broad consensus on the emerging electoral legislative framework.
UNSMIL urged the HoR to complete the work on the parliamentary elections law the latest, in the course of this week.
“The Mission reminds the parties in Libya to adhere to the legal and constitutional framework governing the Libyan political process.”
The North African country has been chaotic since the overthrow and murder of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
Last week some human rights groups expressed support for the Independent Fact-Finding Mission on Libya by renewing its mandate during its 48th session of the UN Human Rights Council.
They bemoaned that impunity for past and ongoing violations and abuses of international human rights law and international humanitarian law drove violence and longstanding instability in the country.
Members of armed groups, militias, and security forces allegedly continue to carry out extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, torture, sexual and gender-based violence, and arbitrary arrest and detention throughout Libya.

Brunson, Cashaw set winning tempo for Stevenson
Stevenson's top two scorers combined give the Patriots exactly what they needed in the final game of the Bison Classic boys basketball tournament at Buffalo Grove on Saturday.
Tournament Most Valuable Player Jalen Brunson scored 26 points, and all-tournament selection Connor Cashaw added 19 as the Patriots repeated as tournament champion, finishing with a 4-0 record after beating Buffalo Grove 67-44.
Brunson (17) and Cashaw (14) combined for 31 of the team's 38 first-half points, and the Patriots led by 21 at halftime.
"(Jalen's) got a second or third sense of where his teammates are, what we need, and how the game is being called," Stevenson coach Pat Ambrose said of Brunson's ability to find open teammates and control the game. "He has a unique ability. The game goes slow for him. We see it every day in practice. He plays at a higher level."
"We knew they were going to be physical," Brunson said. "We had some good rotations and played good team defense."
With the return of Matt Morrissey to the court after Stevenson's football season concluded in last week's semifinals, the team added one more returning starter from last season's state runner-up team. Cameron Green is still recuperating from a hand injury.
"We're getting everyone back," Brunson said. "Once we're at full strength, we'll be a very good team."
"It's good to be back out there," Morrissey said. "We're really deep this year. We have guys who can come off the bench and contribute."
Buffalo Grove outscored Stevenson 18-15 in the third quarter. Kyle Calcagno scored all 6 of his points in the third. Dave Warden (9 points), Nate Woten and Conner Reid each made 3-point baskets, and the Bison (2-2) trimmed the deficit to 53-35 after three quarters.
"We were pretty happy with the results of the tournament," Buffalo Grove coach Keith Peterson said. "That's a top-five team, and we played with them in the third quarter.
"If we can't build from that, something's wrong."
The Bison's top scorer was sophomore reserve Joey Pinakidas with 11 points.
"It was good to see how he responded against one of the best teams in the state," Peterson said.
Matthew Johnson scored 8 points for Stevenson, which faces Prospect Wednesday, and Ryan Rosenbaum scored 5 coming off the bench. All-tournament Andrew Apel scored 6 for the Bison, who open Mid-Suburban East play Friday against Wheeling.

Why Do You Need Elderly Care in Chinavalid until: 12 Mar 2019date published: 12 Mar 2018
Imagine experiencing life as an elderly person. One is striving to remain as independent as possible and to rely on those in the medical field quite minimal. This is a transition time, especially those in Kaijiancare in China. Assisted living facilities help others to remain autonomous. However, this is not always the case if they are in a wheelchair, or have gone through some traumatic even in their life, such as a heart attack or stroke.
While living in such a facility, the individual gets their room, and it is kind of like an apartment depending on how it is set up. Nurses come around, and make sure that medicine is taken. Nurses Aides help in any way by making sure that the person can get dressed, but tailor their services to those they take care of on a regular basis. Regardless, the patient gets to experience life with many within their generation, but a select few rebel because it is not home. Some families end up not visiting their loved ones, which is quite devastating to the person emotionally that is living there.

100 new jobs created for Queensferry Crossing steel delivery phase
100 new jobs have been created in Rosyth as the first of four shipments of steel arrives for the Queensferry Crossing, signalling the start of a major new phase of work at the dockyards.
Transport Minister Keith Brown visited Rosyth today to meet some of the new employees on the project and hear how the majority of deck preparations are now happening on site before they are lifted into position on the bridge.
Mr Brown said:
“I welcome the creation of 100 new jobs at the Queensferry Crossing to coincide with the steel delivery phase, in addition to the already over 1,000 people directly employed on site.
“Today the sheer scale of the operations required to build the Queensferry Crossing becomes clear with the tower structures and v-shaped viaduct piers visibly rising steadily from the Forth for all to see. Over 28,000 tonnes of steel is being delivered across a total of four shipments on huge 250 metre long ships like the one arriving today.
“The arrival of the steel deck units is yet another milestone for Scotland’s biggest infrastructure project in a generation and progress continues on schedule and under budget.
“Each steel deck unit weighs 250 tonnes when it arrives. The major fabrication process here at Rosyth dockyards involves adding a further 500 tonnes of concrete before the units are then taken out to form their part of the final bridge.
“The Queensferry Crossing presents £6 billion worth of opportunities to the Scottish economy through Scottish businesses and sub-contractors along the supply chain—already £157 million worth of subcontracts and supply orders from the project have been awarded to over 360 Scottish companies.
“The huge order of steel needed for the Queensferry Crossing is being met by ZPMC which has the production capability and resilience to deliver the quantity of high quality steel for the Queensferry Crossing within the timescales demanded.”
Mark Dunlop : 01383 421397 : 07920 595 449
- The FRC is Scotland’s biggest transport infrastructure project in a generation
- The Queensferry Crossing is being built on time and under budget
- The current budget range for the project is £1.4 to £1.45 billion, down from £1.45 billion to £1.60 billion in 2011
- The British Chambers of Commerce estimated the additional benefits through supply chain and sub-contract opportunities for Scottish businesses would be worth around £6 billion to the Scottish economy. (BCC press release, February 2010)
- Around 80 per cent of the contractor’s procurement for the project has now been completed
- £157 million worth of subcontracts and supply orders from the project have been awarded to over 360 Scottish companies
- Current international market rates for fabricated steel would suggest that the subcontracts for steel would represent between 5 and 10% (£39-79 million) of the FRC Principal Contract's total value.
Forth Replacement Crossing fact file
- In 2010 a key element of procurement strategy for the FRC was the necessity for delivery of a completed crossing by the end of 2016
- Clear issues with the future viability of the Forth Road Bridge (FRB) and the potential for restrictions to HGVs posed serious risks for the Scottish economy
- It was well established through the Parliamentary process, that the FRB has lost 10 per cent of its main cable strength and – with roughly 70,000 vehicles crossing the bridge each day – the lack of resilience to high wind or breakdowns and the disruption likely to be caused by ongoing maintenance could not be ignored
- The need for the crossing, the timescales involved and how they related to the proposed procurement strategy was explored in depth and detail during the Bill process. It was passed with broad cross party support.in December 2010
- Ensuring materials could be supplied efficiently in the quantity and timescale required would clearly have been a major factor in any bid for the contract to build the bridge
- Sourcing the steel from an supplier the size of ZPMC would is expected to have made a considerable contribution to the contract to build the bridge coming in at £790 million, significantly below the original estimated price range of £900 million to £1.2 billion
- While strictly a commercial matter for FCBC, sourcing a steel supplier with the scale and production resilience to deliver 28,000 tonnes of steel to allow completion within the five and a half year timeframe demanded by the project
- ZPMC is one of the single biggest manufacturers of steel in the world, their Changxing base, located on the Yangtze River estuary is around 5 kilometres long
- The ship arriving in Rosyth on May 19 is just one of 26 ships of the same size that ZPMC operate. They have delivered steel for other major international bridge projects including the Oakland Bay Bridge in San Francisco and Hardanger Fjord bridge in Norway
- Even though the Queensferry Crossing will be the tallest bridge in the UK and one of the biggest bridges of its type in the world, we estimate it represents around a maximum of 5 per cent of ZPMC’s current order book
- An operation of this incredible scale provides the reliability and resilience required to produce such a large quantity and quality of steel within such demanding timescales
- The procurement strategy for the project was explored in depth and detail and overwhelmingly backed by Parliament in 2010. That strategy clearly required the Queensferry Crossing be built in five and a half years – a challenging timescale made absolutely necessary by the condition and ongoing viability of the Forth Road Bridge

ISLAMABAD — Pakistan Defense Minister Khwaja Mohammad Asif has labeled Afghanistan the “source of terrorism in Pakistan,” emphasizing the urgent need for a substantial overhaul of the border dynamics between the two nations.
“In view of the increase in terrorist incidents, there is a need for a fundamental change in the border situation,” Asif remarked on X on Wednesday.
He criticized the Taliban for their lack of progress, contrasting it with Pakistan’s efforts to engage them on these security concerns.
“The source of terrorism in Pakistan is in Afghanistan, and despite our efforts, Kabul has not made any progress in this direction. Despite being aware of the hideouts of terrorism, they are operating freely against Pakistan from their territory,” Asif stated.
Asif also noted that Pakistan might sidestep international laws in addressing its cross-border concerns.
“The Pak-Afghan border is different from the traditional borders of the world. In the current situation, when cooperation from Kabul is not forthcoming, Pakistan will not be bound to apply all international laws and norms on this border. We must halt the flow of terrorists. In this manner, both countries can foster relations like traditional good neighbors. Travel facilities can continue through passport and visa,” he explained.
This statement comes amid a spike in militant attacks within Pakistan. Last week, Pakistan carried out airstrikes in two Afghan provinces, which the Taliban claims resulted in the death of eight civilians, including women.
The Taliban has dismissed Pakistan’s accusations, arguing that Pakistan is attributing its failure to combat militant groups to Afghanistan.

“A decade of rotavirus vaccination in Africa – Saving lives and changing the face of diarrhoeal disease”
About the Symposium
The 12th African Rotavirus Symposium (ARS) will be hosted in Johannesburg, South Africa, from 30th July 2019 to the 1st August 2019, in partnership with the South African Medical Research Council. The 12th ARS will be held in South Africa to coincide with the 20th Anniversary of the African Rotavirus Network and the 50th Anniversary of the South African Medical Research Council. This highly sought-after event, organised under the auspices of the African Rotavirus Network (AfrRN), has over the years grown from a half-day symposium to now a 3-day global event as it continues to shape the agenda of rotavirus research and prevention globally, attracting key international opinion leaders in diarrheal diseases. The AfrRN is a regional network of institutions conducting research on paediatric diarrhoeal diseases in collaboration with the World Health Organisation African Regional Office (WHO AFRO), Ministries of Health and other partners.
The AfrRN began in 1998 in response to the need to address diarrhoeal disease, which was a continental disease that was under-researched in Africa. In particular, there was a crucial need to determine rotavirus burden of disease, the diversity of circulating strains, and increase awareness around rotavirus disease in Africa. The first ARS was held in South Africa in 2000 and since then several more symposia have been organised in different African countries. The last two meetings were held in Lilongwe, Malawi (2017) and Bamako, Mali (2015).
The ARS series are aimed at bringing African rotavirus researchers, policy-makers, clinicians, public health practitioners and health officials together to share ideas, expertise and learning across organizations and countries in the areas of rotavirus vaccine introduction, vaccine impact and diarrheal disease prevention and control in Africa. The AfrRN also established the African Rotavirus Surveillance Network (AfrRSN) in 1999 to conduct research to facilitate evidence-based decision making on the introduction of rotavirus vaccines in the African region and to create a platform to study the impact of the rotavirus vaccine on diarrhoea post-introduction. The AfrRSN is a regional network of institutions and Ministries of Health conducting core surveillance on diarrhoeal diseases in children, which depends entirely on effective National Surveillance Programmes. The WHO AFRO (Congo, Brazzaville) currently coordinates the AfrRSN.
96 countries worldwide have introduced rotavirus vaccines
The 12th ARS comes at an important time, as 96 countries worldwide, including 33 in Africa, have introduced rotavirus vaccines. The growing in-country experiences on vaccine introduction and scientific endeavours that continue to grow on the continent have been encouraging and the 2019 symposium affords us an opportunity for garnering momentum to ensure that every African child receives a rotavirus vaccine.
- Review and share global epidemiological trends on rotavirus diarrhoea.
- Share progress and experiences on rotavirus vaccine introduction, impact and safety monitoring in African countries.
- Enable networking for research, academia and career growth among rotavirus researchers and program implementers.
- Review and shape agenda for research/surveillance on other diarrhoeal pathogens.

[RATING: 5] Oh man – now here’s a Christmas present. Those with longish memories might remember that between the Guardian and New York Times-featured Enter The Magical Mystery Chambers mashup LP and The Beatles vs Hip-hop Legends: ‘An Adventure To Pepperland Through Rhyme & Space’ (he’s not one for short titles), Tom Caruana delivered what is not only still the monkey’s favourite mashup LP from Tom Caruana, it is still the monkey’s favourite mashup LP from anyone and, more than that, one of the monkey’s favourite LPs of all time. I speak of course about the now legendary Black Gold a mighty collision of Shaolin’s finest with the greatest guitarist the world has ever seen. Sadly a catastrophic server crash in 2016 managed to zero the record of FB likes of every post published prior to that date so you’ll have to take the monkey’s word that both of the latter two LPs were the most popular posts the monkey has ever published.
At the time there was the hope that Black Gold could get a vinyl release but seemingly insurmountable issues arose which suggested this would never happen. Except that now, it has! Yes, that’s right, Black Gold released on – wait for it – double vinyl with one disc in black and one disc in…gold!. Fifteen of the Wu-Tang vocal cuts off the original version of the LP make it onto black disc and a further two onto the gold disc (along with over twenty instrumentals). Some of the track titles have changed slightly (or completely) and sadly a few tracks didn’t make the cut (no Summin Gotz To Give!), though Fat Lady 69 (formerly When The Fat Lady Sings), Crosstown Happenin (formerly What’s Happenin), Last Call, PLO Style, Wind Cries (formerly Wind Cries Mary), Hey Joe, and KFF2000 are all on there along with fat new joint Breaker Breaker which melds the Breaker Breaker vocals and the Da Mystery Of Chessboxin beat from Spare Nuggets. Limited to 300 copies, this bad boy ships in January. Get your skates on – order HERE.

Publication date: December 12th 2023
Genres: Suspense, Thriller, Young Adult
People are dying under mysterious circumstances in the small town of New Haven. And the city’s best hope of uncovering the truth rests with a troubled teen and the girl who can’t stand him.
Cassie Underwood’s life is shattered when her younger sister dies in a freak car accident. In her grief, Cassie unfairly blames her sister’s constant companion—Taggart McGill—a boy with a sketchy past and abrasive personality. As Cassie attempts to recover from the loss, she struggles to honor her late sister’s memory by befriending the person she resents most.
Things get complicated when Cassie overhears a fellow student asking Taggart to convince the police another death in the accident had nothing to do with the crash at all. Taggart surprisingly agrees and a suspicious Cassie decides to accompany him in his snooping. She soon learns everything she knows about Taggart is wrong… and he has insight into things that link the car accident to other suspicious deaths in their close-knit community.
Now it seems there’s only one thing keeping Cassie’s name off the growing list of victims—finding out who Taggart McGill really is.
“Didn’t my sister ever tell you that the way you dress is a bit clichéd? I mean, look at you. The isolated loner, the social outcast, in a dark hoodie? Really?”
I wasn’t sure what changed, maybe something in his posture, but he seemed to soften.
“It might be cliché, but it’s practical.”
Taggart pulled a pair of white earbuds from inside the sweatshirt and plugged them into his ears, then pulled up his hood, which completely covered his face, blocking me—and everything else—out.
I leaned over the edge of the table, pulled back his hood and yanked out his buds. He didn’t resist.
DL Hammons wrote his first piece of fiction decades ago … to impress a girl (it was moderately successful), and he hasn't looked back.
He wrote a script for a 15-minute audiotape in the style of old radio shows (i.e., Little Orphan Annie, Dick Tracy), for which his group received an A+ and he was praised for the originality of the story. He was hooked. He later joined the school newspaper and made a name for himself authoring sports articles and feature pieces.
Unfortunately, the seed planted in high school would lay dormant for decades while DL faced the realities of adult life. College exams, school loans, early morning alarms and late-night dinners, business trips, heart-stopping love, dirty diapers, mortgages, coaching clinics, scholarship applications, and everything else that tends to induce follicle disembarkation and enlarged prostates. It wasn't until his children had flown the coop that "the itch" returned, and he had the time to give it the attention it deserved.
Growing up as a military brat, DL moved around quite a bit as a kid. After graduating from LSU and raising a family in several southern states, he now makes his home in Central Arkansas where he has spent the last dozen years perfecting his voice, splitting his writing time between YA and Adult Mystery/Suspense. Other than being an author, DL claims that the most interesting thing about him is that he lacks a sense of smell. Other passions include (but are not limited to) his family (including his two mini-Australian Shepards) music, movies, video gaming, and cool weather camping.
DL is represented by Tina P. Schwartz of the Purcell Agency.
Knight Rise and Fallen Knight are part of his adult Silent Sleuth series, and PRICK is his first Young Adult book - part of the Taggart McGill Mystery series.

Nile Rodgers, the man who brought us disco, to talk at the 2012 Edinburgh Book Festival
- Nicola Meighan
- 9 August 2012
This article is from 2012
How one man helped shape a generation of pop
As the Book Festival programme announces, Nile Rodgers is ‘The Man Who Brought Us Disco’. Or, to be more accurate, he is: The Chic Frontman Who Brought Us Disco; Who Worked with Mick Jagger, Prince and Debbie Harry; Who Produced Madonna, David Bowie and Diana Ross; Who Created the Most-Sampled Band of All-Time and then Flat-lined with Mickey Rourke. But that’s not the half of it.
As befits a pioneer who has sold over 100m records, conquered addiction, seen off cancer and written some of pop’s greatest songs – Chic’s ‘Le Freak’ and Sister Sledge’s ‘We Are Family’ for two – Rodgers is a terrific storyteller. His autobiography, Le Freak: An Upside Down Story of Family, Disco and History, is enthralling.
Did Rodgers realise what impact he’d make on our culture when he started writing Chic songs in the 1970s? ‘I don’t think when you’re creating art that you’re thinking that far into the future, even though we called ourselves futurists.’ Rodgers’ Book Festival appearance promises colourful anecdotes from throughout his life. ‘It’s not just about being in the band Chic, it’s about the Chic Organisation, the artists I worked with, the songs that I wrote for Diana Ross, Duran Duran and INXS.’ And it’s not just about Nile Rodgers. It’s about pop music as we know it.
10-19 Aug, 9.30pm, £10 (£8).
