A program that offers grants of up to $15,000 for small business to reimburse their COVID-19 expenses has changed its application process to make it easier for more businesses to apply.
The Louisiana Main Street Recovery Program has a “Quick Relief” option, which allows applicants to submit a 2018 or 2019 tax return instead of an itemized list of all expenses, and it is now available to all businesses. Previously, only those that had received $1,000 or less in federal assistance were eligible for the option.
State Treasurer John Schroder, whose office is administering the federally-funded program, had anticipated the money going quickly when the application period opened in late July. But that hasn’t been the case.
According to its website, LousianaMainStreet.com, there is still $271.5 million left in the program for applicants, which opened with $275 million. There have been 923 applications that have been awarded or paid through Aug. 26, and the average grant is $3,763, the website said Wednesday.
The treasurer’s office said Thursday that the website has not been updated and the latest numbers show that $19 million has been awarded as of Sept. 3. More than 21,000 applications have been submitted, and $256 million remains available, said Michelle Millhollon, the office’s spokesperson.
A 21-day window that put priority on applicants who had not received prior federal assistance expired in mid-August, opening the program to more businesses.
By Sept. 25, the program aims to award $40 million to minority, women or veteran-owned businesses.
Nonprofits are not eligible for the program.
The deadline to submit an application is Nov. 4. For more information, click here.
Any funding left in the program will go back to the state, and the Legislature will decide how to use it, according to Joel Robideaux, a former state lawmaker, former mayor-president of Lafayette and a member of the Louisiana Economic Recovery Task Force.
He spoke to CityBusiness Wednesday as a panelist on its weekly webinar series and said more outreach efforts are needed.
“I think it’s a combination of, folks don’t really know about (the program), and those that are aware, I think the rules that were put in place made it really difficult to actually receive an award and actually get the money,” he said. “I think the changes happening will certainly give it some momentum and hopefully get the money out into those business’ hands that desperately need the money.”
Chuck Morse, executive director of Thrive New Orleans, a nonprofit that has helped small businesses try to access funding, said he has heard that the initial process has been “arduous.”
“It was hard for them to find all their receipts and do the things they needed,” said Morse, who also was a panelist on the webinar. “There definitely is still a need out there for small businesses to get these grants and loans.”
Schroder said in early July that his office was working with GNO Inc. and the New Orleans Regional Black Chamber of Commerce to reach minority, women and veteran-owned businesses.
Millhollon said Thursday that Schroder has been holding webinars nearly every day with various groups around the state, including chambers of commerce and professional organizations as well as meeting with legislators once a week to inform them about the program.o

Any thoughts on this?
The Oortians do a lot crafting. Why haven't they found a way to uncraft an item to get materials back?
I have often wished they could!
I call it the cancel button…
That is…if you are on time…
It would make crafted materials worth more than the ingredients they are made out of. That would be crazy cakes.
Probably not a good idea.
I’m intrigued by this statement.
I’d say it’s because Oortians are proud of their creations and would rather sell or give away their crafted items than deconstruct them. Everything is valuable to someone.
There is no one who works on the game improvments/qaulity of life for last few years. I think this would have happened years ago not are hard thing to add just give you back only certain items or half of what you invensted. I would love this so when i try to sell something and no one buys i can get some of my invesment back atleast.
I’m drawn back to an incredibles 2 quote… (Can’t figure out posting a clip so here goes)
Mr incredible: “Can you uncrush it?”,
Mr incredible: “What? No ones asked for that?” ,
Crusher: “No, uncrush is silly”,
Mr incredible: “Oh, Forget it…”
Crusher: “What if I ask you to unpunch someone? What’d you do?”
Maybe if only certain items it would be “easy”, but if say “half of everything used” it would require each item to track everything (colors of say the sticks used for tools, or specific items for things like fresh/ancient essence, etc.) used for every item, but still allow them to stack when in crafted item form… That might not be a trivial bit of code right there…
As it is a diamond hammer is worth ~10 minutes of full tilt use. If it was built to come apart it’d probably break sooner and we’d never get anything done.
im strongly against “uncraft” in any form
yes, there are multiple games with “recucle”, “deconstruct” and such forms but you can get max 50% materials back
in Boundless often we using specific material colors to get specific product, so uncraft in any forms can end in loosing valuable material, eg. exo exclusive tinted blocks
do you really want that?
im not, ill rather give someone what i crafted and i dont need than salvage/deconstruct/recycle
as most of us i bet?
That sounds all like valid points but then comes the chrysominter into the game…
Gives you way less coins than the articles are worth most of the time.
I think one of the reasons for the crysominter was to get something back for your resources instead of just dropping them on the ground to despawn, so it could arguably be a “decrafter” but returns as coins at a much lesser value (although does help establish a min value for some items).
I wouldn’t mind if un crafting was a thing that said. There would als need to be a cost (i think).
Like change machined metal back to refined would also need wax… to buff out the edges sort of speak but would also give the needed refined metal back (or less) which you need to craft said machined metal.
Hope i am making sense…
In my eyes a simple “reverse” of a craft isn’t good enough if there isn’t a cost to crafting it in the first place.
Just what i am thinking…
Got loads of stuff collected that i would “reverse craft” if there wasn’t a cost to it in this situation. But if there was an additional cost I would think about it more then just doing the “un craft” in other words keep it for when i maybe might need it.
Just my two cents…
This would really need to be thought out. I wouldn’t say I am against it, but I think about things like Gleambow. I could “uncraft” all the plain glass gleambow meteors into refined gleam and there might be a few other blocks around that do that which spawn naturally or are acquired other than being crafted.
I think if color rarity wasn’t a thing it wouldn’t matter too much, but it would change the economy a bit, it would be interesting to see. Maybe like others said there was an incurred loss of some of the materials on “uncraft”.
Also mentioned was, the hammer idea if you use it down to its last hit and then “uncraft” it … you should not get all the crafting materials back if anything.
OH AND HI @Rydralain
I don’t think it would be good if players were able to get all of the original supplies that were used to create the item. Especially for items that might depreciate as they are used. The original crafter also paid time, spark, & machine wear costs.
I think it would be okay if the devs created a new machine type. Something that could deconstruct and/or reconstitute items into a bit of new building material or metal alloy.
Or have the Deconstruction machine only deconstruct things that the the person who crafted that item so meaning you can’t Deconstruct something some1 else has created
I have to admit, when I’m thinking of undoing it’s for stone things like I selected decorative 1 instead of decorative 2, and now I have to go get more rocks, refine, and redo - or I have a rare colour and go to make a mass craft - but forgot there was a single ordinary colour of the same type of stone in my inventory. Sometimes even though I check that it’s crafting as the main colour, the finished product is the ordinary colour. On those occasions, if there was a skill page that allowed me to get the stones back and remake, I’d use it.
what about blocks that are marked as “uncraftable”. Now imagine an exo planet with those blocks.

It was a real joy to have our first deep dive down to 3250 meters in the Bremer Canyon. We meticulously explored rocky walls and muddy plains. Additionally, we stopped a few times to pick up rocks from the seafloor or strip bedrock samples with SuBastian’s robotic arm. So, the question is: why deal with geological issues in a mission tackling primarily the biological exploration of deep submarine canyons off southwestern Australia? After all, the main focus of this Falkor mission is to look at the canyons’ deep-sea fauna, and explicitly find cold water corals there for answering climate questions. Isn’t it?
Sure, but… Let us see for a moment the canyon habitat from the viewpoint of an animal planning to live there, one possibly belonging to the category academically classified as ‘benthos.’ This means the type of life that spend their existence on the sea bottom crawling on the floor, living buried in the mud, or firmly cemented to a solid rock. Well, to do that one needs certain characteristics of that could differ greatly, depending on where the organism lives. For instance, as we have seen, the soft bottom is home to a number of animals (such as sea-cucumbers and sea-urchins) that walk on the surface to feed, leaving a network of trails behind, or hide into the sediment, producing miniaturized volcano-like conical structures, as do some crustaceans or worms.
Similarly, a lot of deep-sea life instead require a hard substrate on which to rely for years, or even decades, of immobile life in the abyss. Attached to a lone rock, hanging on a wall or sticking in an overhang, scores of worms, mollusks, and barnacles depend on rocky substrates to settle and feed. This is also true for corals, especially those stony species that are the main target of our expedition and can only be found cemented to rocks. The nature of the substrate is one – but not the sole – service provided by geology. Boulders and bedrock interact also with the strength and direction of currents, which are vital for the attached organisms that need to get food through filtering water flow. And SuBastian’s 4K videos have shown many sea-stars, sea-lilies, and cnidarians like black and golden corals unevenly settling on some spots, whereas large areas appear deserted.
Therefore, it is the geology that somehow dictates the agenda, both by providing habitats available to life in the form of hard rocks and sediments, as well as by interfering with currents. The overall existence of the canyon itself is one response to gigantic geological forces which shaped – and still continue shaping – the morphology of the southwestern Australian Margin under exploration. Over millions and millions of years, these forces create the rocks, control ever changing morphological evolution, and produce sediments. The rocks we have collected, the first ever seen in situ and not taken to the surface by dredges, tell the story.
A preliminary evaluation on the ship discloses that we have collected three different sort of rocks. The dark rocks picked up by the ROV when we first hit the bottom, those that formed imposing walls and impressive talus, are ancient sandstones and mudstones, probably formed in the Mesozoic era before Australia and Antarctica (both parts of the Gondwana supercontinent) split apart. The white friable and chalky limestone, forming so much of the upper sequence of rocks seen in the canyon above 3000 meters at the end, are likely Cenozoic marine sediments which accumulated after the separation of the two continents completed about 30 million years ago.
More refined studies ashore will tell us a more complete story. By now, it is all very clear then: perhaps our corals do not know this, but we can see geology counts!

President Michel Martelly attacks critics in new carnival song
President Michel Martelly has found musical success once again with a new Carnival song attacking his critics, amid a political crisis that has the country by the reigns. The song, B’al Bannan Nan (Give Her the Banana), speaks directly to well-known, Haitian journalist Liliane Pierre-Paul. The song is filled sexual references and double entendres.
The title of the song is seemingly inspired by Jovenel Moise’s campaign slogan, Neg Bannan (The Banana Man). In 24 hours, the song has received 100,000 plays online.
Haiti opposition refuses to meet with OAS
The opposition alliance consisting of Jude Celestin and seven other candidates are refusing to meet with representatives from the Organization of American States (OAS). The representatives travelled to Haiti to “help ease a political crisis that has postponed elections indefinitely.”
“The OAS doesn’t help Haiti come out of crisis,” Samuel Madistin, spokesman for the G8 opposition alliance. “They create more crisis.’
They are “not welcomed” and are “unable to play any role as a mediator.”
Prime Minister Evans Paul suspected to resign in coming hours
Prime Minister Evans Paul may resign in coming hours as part of a global agreement between President Michel Martelly and the two Houses of Parliament. Under the terms of the agreement, Paul’s resignation would support the appointment of a new consensus prime minister and facilitate Martello’s departure.

Implementation of a Data Pump with Ignition by Inductive Automation
There are many tools on the market for historizing process data. These tools typically treat each point of data individually when historizing, which works great for trend screens and instrumentation reporting. However, it is often desirable to log a “set” or “group” of data together, associating many data points with a single event. This use case is particularly common with batching operations, where detailed records must be kept. This can be accomplished in many different ways. One such approach, that of a so-called “data pump,” is described below.
One of our solutions to this challenge is to create and log a “payload” of data each time an operation is completed on a piece of equipment. For example, consider a bulk material addition into a mix tank. This operation contains several pieces of relevant information that can be historized, such as:
- Start Time
- End Time
- Unit (Ex: Mix Tank 102)
- Batch ID
- Event Description: (Ex: “Sucrose Addition”)
- End Condition (Completed Naturally or Manually Aborted)
- Setpoint Amount (Requested Quantity)
- Actual Amount (Delivered Quantity)
- Error % ( [Actual – Setpoint] / [Setpoint] x 100 )
- Pump Speed
In order to capture this information, PLC logic is built into each operation to collect the pertinent data. At the completion of the operation, this data is then consolidated into a single record object, typically a User Defined Data Type, in the PLC. Then this record is placed into a queue object on a “First In, First Out” basis. Elsewhere in the control system (external to the PLC), this queue is monitored for new records. As new records appear, the control system reads the appropriate data from the front of the queue, logs it to a SQL database table, and handshakes with the PLC to indicate that the record has been successfully processed.
Once the handshake is received at the PLC level, the queue is then indexed to discard the previous record and move the next record forward for processing. No records are removed from the queue until the control system acknowledges successful processing of that record. In this architecture, queued data is essentially guaranteed to be logged. Even if the mechanism processing the queue fails, the PLC (and more importantly, the automated process) can continue to run as normal. In this scenario, the queue may accumulate a backlog of unprocessed records, but once the processing mechanism is brought back online they can be quickly processed. Providing a large enough queue object is important because it gives the data pump a buffer. This allows the control system to weather any interruption of communications that might occur between the PLC and the mechanism that processes the records. (more…)
Case Study: Methodical Approach to a Systems Upgrade
ECS Solutions, Inc. (ECS) recently helped a client with an upgrade by leveraging ECS’ methodical approach to system solutions. Their client has three very similar processing areas known as casting pits. Each was controlled by an independent GE 9030 PLC system, each with a main, and each controlled by a local BLUE Open Studio HMI from ProFace America.
The 9030 PLCs that were installed were robust and accurate for these areas when originally installed. Over a long period of time, the systems were maintained and augmented by several personnel from both inside and outside the organization. The result, as is often the case in legacy automation systems, is system drawings that are littered with hand comments and sketches on paper drawings. These systems also feature code that works…. until it doesn’t due to getting lost in a discarded section of logic that was thought to be disabled but was never removed. These situations are often referred to as “ghosts” or “gremlins” in the code and they can be difficult to troubleshoot. Frequently, the solution is to reboot entire systems to exit from the offending area.
Case Study: Repurposing a Tank Farm
A large US food manufacturing company planned to repurpose a tank farm, originally used in the manufacture of ice cream. The repurposing of the tank farm could be considered a greenfield installation, providing various oils to a new fryer system. The new designs would allow the storage and transfer of (1) newly delivered oil, (2) flavored oil to be reused and (3) waste oil to be discarded.
ECS Solutions was hired to help evaluate the existing system which was controlled by five Allen-Bradley SLC 5/03 PLCs. The ECS engineers determined the IO was sufficient for the planned changes as well as many of the existing valves. ECS redesigned the controls incorporating one new Allen Bradley CompactLogix controller to control the system and an Ethernet network to connect each of the existing SLC racks, which would be repurposed as remote IO racks. In addition, we provided new PowerFlex variable frequency drives to control the pumps that would move the oil from place to place. An existing Inductive Automation Ignition operator interface application was expanded to incorporate the oil storage system. In effect, the scope of the project was to evaluate the control systems available and to incorporate new controls where required.

Hypertextual adaptation: Humanistic enquiry through transfocalization in Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
This article considers Tom Stoppard’s use of hypertextual adaptation and appropriation in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (1967) from the perspective of the change in the narrative focus (transfocalization) of the source. The analysis argues that critical commentaries to date have concentrated overmuch on the hypotext (Shakespeare’s Hamlet) without realizing the significance of Stoppard’s transfocalizing hypertext and its engagement with the identity of previously marginalized characters. In reappraising the decentralized target text, this article examines the ways in which Stoppard offers an alternative reading, as he adapts the source text and in the process performs the role of the writer as an intellectual, lending a voice to the previously absent, silenced, textually disregarded or unvoiced needs of the oppressed. It is argued here that transfocalization, along with complex interweaving of texts and ideas, provides the playwright with added opportunity for creative reworking of the crucial themes in Shakespeare’s original, resulting in broadly humanistic and existential commentary on the nature of human life and its quest for meaningfulness.

President Biden signed an executive order Thursday that said certain kinds of emergency housing for the homeless — such as the hotels that San Francisco has leased during the pandemic — will be 100% reimbursed by the federal government until September.
That’s a change from the Trump administration, which said it would pay for only 75% of the cost, leaving the city on the hook for potentially millions of dollars every month. The monthly program costs range from $15 million to $18 million.

Announcement by military on state broadcaster says President Robert Mugabe and family are safe but army is ‘targeting criminals around him’
Tension has been building within Zimbabwe since Mugabe last week fired Emmerson Mnangagwa as vice-president, accusing him of plotting to take power from the 93-year-old president.
But Mugabe’s critics saw the sacking as part of a plan to ensure that Grace Mugabe, the president’s wife, could become vice-president and, ultimately, succeed her husband as ruler.
We must remind those behind the current treacherous shenanigans that when it comes to matters of protecting our revolution, the military will not hesitate to step in.”
p class=”block-time published-time”>
A military spokesman, appearing on ZBC some hours after reports that troops had taken control of the state broadcaster, insisted the safety of Mugabe and his family was “guaranteed”:
We are only targeting criminals around who him who are committing crimes that are causing social and economic suffering in the country in order to bring them to justice.
to pacify a destabilising situation, to remedy the country’s suffering.

"I am encouraged by the responses we have received since sending these initial letters two weeks ago," said Rep. Nadler, D-N.Y.
He added that the panel would work on an "appropriate accommodation" with any recipient "who may be reluctant to cooperate with our investigation."
The panel sent more than 80 document requests to different individuals and entities in and associated with the Trump administration, Trump Organization and family’s business empire, campaign and inaugural efforts.
About half of the people and entities who received requests for documents and other material earlier this month have been in touch with the New York Democrat’s staff about complying, Nadler told reporters recently.
The requests appear to cover every major episode under scrutiny by special counsel Robert Mueller’s office, prosecutors in the Southern District of New York, and congressional investigators, and the panel even requested copies of documents produced for previous inquiries.
Trump initially suggested he would cooperate with the committee’s probe.
"I cooperate all the time with everybody," Trump said earlier this month at a White House event when asked about the request.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders -- in a statement following the original request described the investigation "disgraceful and abusive."
"Chairman Nadler and his fellow Democrats have embarked on this fishing expedition because they are terrified that their two-year false narrative of 'Russia collusion' is crumbling," the statement said.
The next day, Trump tweeted that the Democrats "have gone stone cold CRAZY" and that the requests were "sent to innocent people to harass them."
Democrats’ requests also focus on some of their longstanding concerns about the Trump administration, including the potential conflict-of-interest between the Trump family’s business interests and the administration, given concerns about possible violations of the Constitution's emoluments clause.
The panel has already consulted with attorneys for many of the individuals on their list, according to a committee counsel, and also anticipates issuing subpoenas in the coming weeks to compel compliance.
The chairman also indicated last week that after reviewing the documents, the committee would then settle on plans for eventual hearings.
ABC News' Benjamin Siegel contributed to this report.

Proprietary platform provides comprehensive end-to-end solution for improving musculoskeletal care delivery while lowering cost
ADDISON, Texas, Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- MPOWERHealth, a digital health organization, has launched MPOWERHealth 360CareNav, a proprietary digital platform featuring industry-leading advanced machine learning and an enterprise data ecosystem with predictive risk and cost modeling. The platform provides an end-to-end solution for improving musculoskeletal care delivery while lowering overall cost of care.
As an end-to-end solution, 360CareNav offers a comprehensive patient engagement experience that includes digital health tools, such as telehealth, remote physiological monitoring and complete care coordination across providers to ensure the best possible outcomes.
"Musculoskeletal conditions account for an estimated $600 billion in annual spending in the U.S. when factoring in both direct and indirect costs, such as lost productivity, complications and care inefficiencies, in part due to poor patient engagement and lack of real-time data insight for providers," said Scott LaRoque, CEO and founder of MPOWERHealth. "Through technology and guardrails driven by analytics, our 360CareNav platform helps to close the gap between the cost and quality of musculoskeletal care."
This patient-centric technology optimizes outcomes and minimizes risk, delivering the next generation of population health management, filling a void in specialty care. From transitional care to remote care and chronic care management, MPOWERHealth 360CareNav improves care plan implementation, patient education, medication management, as well as enables stability of chronic conditions that are known to escalate.
MPOWERHealth 360CareNav increases patient satisfaction, lowers readmission rates and improves quality outcomes through a strong adherence to clinically driven care pathways and cost algorithms that get smarter over time due to machine learning and artificial intelligence.
"Our goal with MPOWERHealth 360CareNav is to create personalized health care that meets each individual patient's needs all in one platform. Organizations that are patient-centric and outcome-driven are well equipped to succeed and meet the needs of value-based care," LaRoque said.
To learn more about MPOWERHealth, 360CareNav and other offerings, visit www.mpowerhealth.com.
MPOWERHealth is dedicated to empowering better healthcare through innovative solutions for specialty physicians, hospitals, and payors. Its services include integrated physician networks that support collaboration between musculoskeletal physicians to promote quality improvements; best-in-class intraoperative neuromonitoring and surgical assist services for physicians, hospitals, health systems and medical facilities; and bundled solutions for payors and employers that create direct access to the highest level of conservative spine care at a set cost. Headquartered in Addison, Texas, MPOWERHealth serves more than 400 physicians, more than 40,000 patients annually and more than 300 facilities in 24 states.

June 12, 2017: Global demand for LED driver market was valued at around US$ 4.75 billion in 2015, and is expected to generate revenue of approximately US$ 19.03 billion by end of 2021, growing at a CAGR of 26% between 2016 and 2021, says a Zion Market Research report.
Global LED driver market is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period due to increasing demand for LED lighting by households. The transition from UV lamp to UV LED is the latest trend in LED driver market.
Growing demand of LED in lighting applications such as retail outlets, office complexes, streetlights, and rapidly growing usage within the residential lighting applications for households are the major drivers for the growth of the LED driver market. However, the biggest challenge for LED technology is to understand the gap between cost and benefit by the user.
Residential and commercial application of LED lighting is fuelling the demand of LED drivers in the market. Residential segment accounted for around 40% of the market share in 2011.
Outdoor applications such as roadway lighting, street lighting, highway and tunnel lighting are some of the major adopters of LED drivers. India has biggest consumers base for LED lighting products and a number of users are predicted to increase substantially in the near future. The Strong presence of LED manufacturers in China those are constantly improving consumption, conductivity, and voltage aspect of LEDs would surge the usage of LED drivers in the coming years.
Asia-Pacific is anticipated to grow at the highest rate till 2021. The combination of multiple factors makes Asia-Pacific the most dynamic region in LED driver market. Asia-Pacific has some of the fastest-growing emerging economies like India and China. It also has technologically and economically advanced economies of Japan and South Korea.
Furthermore, the countries within Asia Pacific, which are still seeing rapid urbanization hence, the overall growth and demand for infrastructure are higher as compared to Europe and North America. The countries in the Asia-Pacific region have started bringing regulations to increase the usage of LED lighting which is increasing the demand of LED lighting and consequently LED drivers for lighting.
India has biggest consumers base for LED lighting products and a number of users are predicted to increase substantially in the near future. The Strong presence of LED manufacturers in China those are constantly improving consumption, conductivity, and voltage aspect of LEDs would surge the usage of LED drivers in the coming years.
The considerable economic growth of countries such Belgium, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, and Finland drives LED market in Europe and is likely to remain a determinant factor for the LED markets growth in the next few years.
For Europe, North America, and China, 2013 and 2014 were the breakthrough year. The Middle East and Africa is expected to be one of the fastest growing regional markets for LED drivers in the coming years. Saudi Arabia is expected to be the most lucrative market for LED driver in the Middle East. The recent push by emerging economies such as China and India toward energy efficiency is also a key factor for the growth of the LED driver for outdoor & traffic lighting.
Recently, Fulham Company Group which is a leading supplier of lighting components and electronics acquired some assets of the LED Driver business of Lumotech in order to LED drivers to distributors and OEMs in Europe. The key players in the market are Osram GmbH, Texas Instruments, Inc., Maxim Integrated, Inc., Harvard Engineering, Macroblock, Inc., General Electric, Cree, Inc., and Rohm Semiconductors and Atmel Corp., among others.

Summary: Jun has decided on Hwoarang as a good host for Angel's powers, although the only thing keeping her from her goal is Hwoarang himself.
Chapter Warnings: Violence, disturbing violence
Feedback: Comments are welcome; constructive or positive. Flames are nice too because they make for something to laugh at and keep my feet toasty.
Special Thanks: To my beta Kat for betaing everything I send her, and listening to me talk her ear off about this thing.
Disclaimer: The characters found here *do not* belong to me. The story itself *does* belong to me. I am making no profit from this endeavour.
Notes: I understand that Jun doesn't speak Korean. This could cause problems for her while she's following Hwoarang around while he's running in Korea and (supposedly) speaking Korean to his fellow Koreans. Hwoarang speaks Japanese when interacting with Jin (except for the end of T4 where he speaks English to him O_o). Aaaanyways, Jun can speak with Hwoarang when she interacts with him directly, however, when she's following him around in Korea and he's speaking Korean? Yeah, she gets go play the guessing game as to what is going on.
Oddly enough I have experience doing this when I traveled to El Salvador without knowing a lick of useful Spanish. It's amazing how locked in your head you can get when you can't interact with others for 2 weeks except through an interpreter… but I'm digressing. My point is that it IS possible to get the gist of what is going on and pick up on people's personalities just by observing them without words. I had wanted to have more exposition through observed dialogue while Jun was following Hwoarang around, but since I had to nix the dialogue it's a bit sketchy. I hope I made up for it with Hwoarang's version of events.
"Angel/Devil's words inside Hwoarang/Jin's head"
Please see the Index for more details and chapter links.
It seemed that Hwoarang had gone AWOL to attend the tournament, and although he'd served the army well in the past, his superiors were fed up with his flagrant disregard for the rules. It was amazing what you could learn from listening to the tone of people's voices and their body language when you couldn't understand what they were saying. Hwoarang didn't stay in his cell for very long and was packed up and shipped off on a mission to a small town in South Korea. Jun didn't bother following him the length of the way, but contented herself with hovering on the outskirts of the town while he did what he had to do, all the while questioning her sanity in entrusting the powers of Angel to this man.
It was well past dark when she saw his fiery aura emerging from the village and she followed him back to the military base for his debriefing before he was released to begin his duties for the day without sleep. By the time he retired the next evening Jun was beginning to lose patience and immediately attempted to enter his mind as she'd done with Xiaoyu. She discovered right away that it would be an uphill battle to even locate him in his dream, let alone interact with him.
He was in no way as aware as Julia, but Jun found that his mind was in even more of an upheaval than Xiaoyu's had been. His mind was so busy and active that his dreams rarely remained constant and she could only stabilize herself in one setting before she was tossed on her head and whirled about into a completely different setting. Xiaoyu's mind was hectic, but certain elements remained constant so that Jun had been able to catch her footing. With Hwoarang, however, she was completely at the mercy of his imagination, which was unfocused at best.
Almost upon arrival she was ejected from Hwoarang's sleeping body as a particularly violent event took place in his subconscious. It was hopeless. She couldn't contact him now, and was too exhausted to look anywhere else. Although she was hesitant to accept it, Jun realized that Hwoarang was strong of spirit, if not a little dense. Alright, very dense. He wasn't as grounded as Julia had been, or even as in control as Xiaoyu, but he had something else that the other's didn't, and it was at that point that Jun shuddered to realize that he was the one. Hwoarang had his own inner demons. Where Julia would attempt to use empathy and conversation to get through to Jin, Hwoarang would let his fists do the talking, and in the end, while Devil could ignore words, he couldn't ignore a fight that was influenced with Angel's divinity.
Jun shook her head and picked herself up, looking back at Hwoarang's sleeping form with resolve. She couldn't contact him now, but she could wait. She needed to rest anyways. She'd need all her strength for when she was able to contact him.
Jun waited, watching Hwoarang from her place in the spirit world that overlapped the realm of the living. She meditated, slowly regaining the energy that she'd expended in saving Heihachi from Devil and then traveling to meet with Julia and Xiaoyu. All the while Hwoarang went about his life in the military; undergoing intense training and the occasional mission out with his unit. While Jun wasn't fond of the military, she could appreciate the dedication it took to stay a part of it. Army life wasn't for the weak, and while Hwoarang openly detested being there, he completed all the exercises that were asked of him, no matter the conditions or how drained he was afterwards. He was stubborn. When others would have given up, he pushed himself beyond his limits. It was as if he took everything as a challenge to prove he could do it.
Unfortunately, he also took rules forbidding certain behaviour as a challenge and he was often stuck with unpleasant duties as punishment for his aberrant behaviour.
Jun couldn't repress her laughter when Hwoarang re-dyed his hair and his Lieutenant nearly had a heart attack because of it. The old Korean obviously ran a tight ship and liked his men looking uniform and presentable. While some commanders could overlook a simple thing like a tattoo or hair dye, this one had been putting up with Hwoarang's rule breaking since he'd been picked up after the tournament. It was obvious his patience was running dangerously thin when he caught Hwoarang applying the bottle of red dye to his roots. He barked something at the redhead and Hwoarang came back with a sly comment that she was sure was funny. It made the other man's face tighten up as if he'd swallowed a fly, so it had to be. It was obvious he enjoyed the reactions he got from the older man, and Jun just had to laugh harder.
The Lieutenant didn't seem to share her opinion and glared harder at Hwoarang. He said something else, looked at his watch and then left. Jun had seen that routine before; it preceded his missions.
It was a somber room that met Hwoarang when he went for his briefing. Jun waited outside, not interested in the details of what Hwoarang was being told to do. She learned soon after she began following Hwoarang around that those briefings could get ugly if he was told to do something he didn't want to do. He never had a choice either way; his skill in combat was just too great. But despite there being no choice in the matter, it didn't stop him from telling his superiors to go fuck themselves.
Two hours later Hwoarang was led out of the room to a waiting helicopter. Jun hated riding in them in her spirit-state, but she wouldn't leave Hwoarang either, so she climbed aboard. As they lifted into the air she noticed that Hwoarang was in a foul mood. Well, more foul than usual. His clothes had changed as well. While he and his teammates usually wore their military fatigues on their missions, this time they wore all black, with more belts and gadgets attached to them than usual. His teammates had already pulled black balaclavas over their heads and were resting night-vision goggles on their foreheads.
Hwoarang glared at them before pulling on his own balaclava and Jun's soul tightened at the sight. There was something different about Hwoarang at that moment. Something was burning and dying in his eyes. His flippant attitude had been replaced by a sort of cold acceptance. Death had descended upon the three men in that compartment and none of them spoke as the helicopter carried them towards the horizon and their drop-off point.
Jun followed Hwoarang as his team was dropped off in a forest clearing some distance away from anywhere. The three men remained silent as they lowered their night goggles and proceeded to use hand signals to indicate where they should go and what positions they should take on the way there.
It was difficult for Jun to see exactly what was going on in the dusky twilight, so she stayed even closer to Hwoarang than she usually did, twining herself in the outer edges of his aura and letting him carry her along to his destination. It was a good hour of brisk creeping before the men approached a thick stone wall barring their path. They seemed to have expected it, however, and they each began to follow a predetermined course of action. One approached the wall while Hwoarang and the other stayed back, guarded by large trees and keeping watch. After a moment the man by the wall pulled a grappling gun from his vest and fired a hook towards the top ledge of the wall. It passed over and hooked the other side. He gave his teammates a sign and then Hwoarang approached the rope, quickly scaling the weathered stone until he reached the top and he looked about. Jun passed through the wall to see where it was that they were going. The moon was dark and the gardens beyond the wall were difficult to see except for the light of the stars. Jun wondered what the hell the army could want with a place like this. Hwoarang leapt to the ground behind her and she followed him as he hurried through the gardens, sure footed as he traversed the pathways as if he'd known them his whole life. His teammates followed him for a distance until they approached another wall. Jun looked up, realizing that it was a large house that they'd come to and not another retaining wall. The mood between the three men seemed to intensify even though none of them said a word to the other.
Hwoarang was standing back against a hedge while another man performed some calculations on one of the devices he had on his arm. In the distance Jun could hear the barking of dogs, and all three men went rigid, turning to each other before they gave a flurry of hand signals and they rushed further along the wall of the house.
The guard dogs were not far away, their kennel in all likelihood being around the corner from where Hwoarang and his team had exited the gardens. Their barks rang loud as they rushed along after them. Hwoarang's team ran to the back corner of the house and then stopped. One pulled out a gun from its holster at his waist and he aimed, firing three times; each shot finding its mark with accuracy that only a military-trained crack shot could possess. The three dogs fell down dead and Jun saw the brief glimmer as their souls fled their bodies and they began to grow cold.
She felt the anxiety within her growing the longer she stayed with Hwoarang on his mission.
Still, she'd come this far. She had to stay the course, as sick as it made her to do it.
The three men made short work of disabling the remaining security features and entering the house. Any guards they encountered they dispatched with efficiency, although Jun noticed that Hwoarang preferred to knock his opponents out cold than resort to using the firepower that his teammates seemed to favour. At least Hwoarang saw no point in killing someone that wasn't a challenge.
The three men eventually split off, making silent hand-communications with each other before proceeding onward. Jun stuck with Hwoarang. He trailed down a hallway, pausing in front of a door before checking the electronic map that was sewn into the arm of his stealth suit. He seemed to nod to himself before gripping the handle and opening the door as quietly as he could. The room inside was dark except for a dim light that shone from an outlet in the wall, lighting the surroundings to show that a child lived there.
"Oh God…" Jun felt her feet grow sluggish as she stopped just past the doorway. Hwoarang paused briefly before continuing onwards into the bedroom and quietly approaching the bed. Her words caught in her throat, her spirit felt like it was growing tight, shriveling at the realization of what they were there to do. "You can't!" she screamed, wishing that for just one fucking time Hwoarang would hear her.
He didn't stop until he reached the bed and looked down to its sleeping occupant. She wished she could know what he was thinking. Just to know that he was planning on dropping his gun and going AWOL again. She could see the colours of his aura shifting together as if they were being stirred by a strong wind. He was at war with himself. She forced her legs to move and she came to stand by him, looking down at the girl who still slept, blissfully unaware of the man who stood above her. She could have only been eight or nine years old.
Hwoarang pulled his night goggles off his eyes, propping them on his forehead and he stared hard at the sleeping child. His brow furrowed, almost angrily as his hand jerkily moved to his side arm. He wrenched the weapon free of its holster and he cocked the hammer back, aiming it downwards, but his hand shook as he tried to bring it up to the girl's head. He didn't want to do it, but it seemed that he didn't have a choice.
His missions up to this point had involved apprehending enemies of the government. Supporters of Northern Korea, or even other soldiers who had gone AWOL. In each case Hwoarang had never drawn his weapon, instead relying on his Tae Kwon Do skills to knock his opponents out before any bloodshed could occur.
Unfortunately with this mission, the goal was bloodshed and his arm wavered erratically as he finally forced the pistol to the girl's head.
Her family had probably done something to piss off someone in the government, and Hwoarang knew that she didn't have to die. He shook his head, tears coming to his eyes and his finger edged towards the trigger.
Jun shook her head, this was not happening. It wasn't, couldn't be happening. Hwoarang wasn't perfect, but how could he go through with an order like this? What had they said? What sort of hold did they have over him that could make him even agree to take on a mission that involved killing a little girl? She felt herself sinking to the ground as Hwoarang hovered over the girl, visibly wrestling with his conscience. He was beyond her reach, just like Jin was. She was powerless to influence either of them, and she could only watch as he tightened his grip on the gun handle before cursing quietly and angrily re-holstering the weapon. He wouldn't do it. His aura showed his resolve and the relief that went with it. He turned on his heel and walked back to the door just as a woman came running in from the hallway and collided with him.
She looked up at him, wild shock in her eyes and she began scrambling to her feet, screaming something at him and trying to hit him. Hwoarang easily missed being hit, but she seemed to forget about him after her initial swing and rushed to the bed instead, pulling the girl up and yelling something to her. The urgency in her voice didn't need translation; she was trying to escape.
She rushed past Hwoarang, bringing her daughter with her in a desperate attempt to get away. Hwoarang didn't move to stop her, but the other two men who'd come with him were there and one of them kicked her backwards into the room. She fell to the floor, blood leaking from her mouth onto the wood floorboards.
Then things got ugly.
One of the men began yelling at Hwoarang and pulled the gun from its holster. The redhead began yelling back, putting his fists up to show that he wasn't going to take what was said lying down. Or maybe he would defend the woman?
The man with the gun didn't seem to care. He ignored Hwoarang for a moment and wordlessly aimed the gun at the child and pulled the trigger. Her small body collapsed to the floor; dead with one shot. Her mother howled with a gut-wrenching agony that made Jun shudder to hear it. The man looked at her with annoyance and turned the gun on her, pulling the trigger without a second's hesitation. As she lay there dying he said something to her, almost gloating above her as she lay helpless in a pool of her own blood. Her gasping noises were pathetic, and Jun nearly wept as she saw the woman's life light flicker around her body, her aura growing weaker until her soul was finally released and disappeared from view.
Jun felt cold, though she had no body. She was numb, dimly aware of the arguing going on around her. The man with the gun was arguing with Hwoarang, trying to take on a commanding tone, but Hwoarang wasn't having any of it. He spoke to him with the same disrespect that he had for his superiors on the base. His aura was burning a fierce red, clear and crisp and focused.
His teammate holstered his weapon and stepped up to meet Hwoarang's fighting stance. His mouth was covered by his balaclava, but his eyes showed the smile that lit up his face.
Hwoarang grinned, pulling off his own mask and goggles and dropped them to the floor. He lunged at his teammate, driving his fists through the man's defenses to meet their mark beyond. He punched and kicked with all his might, defending against the other man's attacks which were nearly as skilled as his own, though they carried more weight behind them. Hwoarang skipped around a well-meaning kick and hoofed his opponent in the gut, dropping the other man to his knees. As the man gasped for air Hwoarang pushed the offensive and leapt at him again, intending to finish the fight. The man rolled to the side at the last minute and caught Hwoarang off guard, pulling him to the floor with him.
The two wrestled around on the ground for a while, trading punches to the face and elbows to the gut while their third teammate and Jun anxiously watched from the side. They both knew this wasn't the place to do this. Not in the home of a murdered man and his family, but only the silent man was able to do anything and he just stood by and watched as his teammate landed a few solid hits to Hwoarang's face knocking his head back against the floorboards and dazing him.
Hwoarang was down. He rolled about to try and get up, but through his stunned state he couldn't climb to his feet fast enough. The sadistic man pressed his advantage, raising his foot and kicking Hwoarang in the head with all his might, ending the fight.
Jun rushed to his side as he lay unconscious on the floor, even though she was powerless to help. There was blood leaking out of his nose and she felt a terrible anxiety grip her as she realized that he was very seriously injured. She felt a tinge of relief as his teammates carried his body back to the extraction point, neither saying a word to the other as they were transported back to the base. At least they didn't leave him there to die.
Hwoarang was put in the hospital. Jun followed him through the operations that the doctors were all too anxious to perform on him. From what Jun could gather he had some serious head trauma. She couldn't understand what they were saying, but she didn't need to. When they were done with him and wheeled him into a private room she could see from the bandages that he was hurt badly. His aura was darkened around his ribs, and there were spots of muddied grey colour hovering around his head where that man had kicked him. She released an imaginary breath as she stood over him. Such actions as breathing and being sick with worry were beyond her now that she didn't have a body, but it was a phantom feeling that she felt nonetheless. She drew closer to him, inspecting the IV that was fed into his arm, dripping nutrients and drugs into his system. He was in very bad shape. Just like Jin, only she couldn't be with her son now as she was for Hwoarang. Devil would push her away and use Jin to spite and hurt her for trying to stop him.
Jun put her hand on Hwoarang's, hovering it where she thought his hand began to create the illusion that she was in fact touching him. It was so frustrating being unable to interact. She looked back up to his face. Though his nose was broken, he still had a look of serenity on him. Jun had never seen it before; not while he was awake, nor while he slept. He was truly unconscious. A spark of hope surged through her then. It was her opportunity. She'd started to think that she'd never get the chance to speak with Hwoarang, but now he would listen. She hated to think that it was such violent and tragic circumstances that brought about her chance, but she'd use it to make things right; for Jin and Hwoarang.
She took another imagined breath and brought her hand up to delve into the deeper layers of his aura, mingling her spirit with his energies until she felt a familiar pull. She allowed herself to be drawn inside, sucked into a strange world that was void of the familiar chaos and excitement of healthy dreams. It was void of anything except blackness. She closed her eyes and completely let go of the outside, thoroughly losing herself within Hwoarang's damaged nightmares.

Beatles are the most talked about, loved, adored, and even
overrated band in the history of rock music. The Beatles were
only together for eight years, from 1962 to 1970, but made
a lot of memorable music that has crossed listeners’ ears. There have been
endless debates over the last couple decades from people who
are on both sides of the issue. The Beatles fans, including myself,
are mainly the people who have always agreed that, yes they are
the greatest rock and roll band. However, rock music singers,
such as Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones, and also Brian Wilson
of the Beach Boys disagree simply because they have been around
a lot longer than the Beatles were, although the Beatles have
influenced them in some way. Other musicians in bands that have
been around a lot longer than the Beatles also concur with Mick
Jagger and Brian Wilson. However, the Beatles are the greatest
rock and roll band, because of their revolutionary recording
techniques done in ways that other musicians had not even dreamed
of, especially in the early to mid 1960’s. The Beatles
producer, Sir George Martin and their engineer Geoff Emerick
starting in 1963, steered the Beatles in these new and exciting
ways. The Beatles used several experimental ways in how they
recorded their music during their entire career.
They were the first band to use the mellotron, in the song “In My Life”.
The sitar, an instrument from India is played on the song “Norwegian
Wood”. The Beatles also used tape recorders played backwards in a lot
of their songs, which is how they experimented like no other band had done
up to this point.
The Beatles consisted of John Winston Lennon (1940-1980), Sir. James Paul
McCartney (1942-) George Harrison (1943-2001) and Richard (Ringo) Starkey (1940-
). Ringo Starr was not an original member of the band; he joined in 1962 replacing
Pete Best (1941- ). after Best was fired from the band. At the beginning, since
the band was only just starting out, they did not have much experience in a
recording studio, except they were honing their chops in a live concert setting.
The Beatles and producer
George Martin in the Studio 1963
The Beatles released their first album “Please Please Me” in 1963,
in which they first started using three-part harmonies. Since this is the debut
release from the Beatles, some rock critics were not very impressed. However,
this was the start of “Beatle mania” originating in Liverpool,
the Beatles' hometown.
The Beatles Second Album, released in 1964, had a first when their song “Thank
You Girl” featured the only “True” stereo version. In some
of the Beatles recordings, John Lennon played the harmonica, which was not
widely used by other artists at this time. For the album “Beatles for
Sale,” John Lennon became more personal in his songwriting.
The album also contained cover versions of other artist’s songs.
From the album, “Beatles ’65,” two songs, “I Feel
Fine” and “She’s A Woman” were recorded in mono, but
added extra echo and reverb for the single and album mono release. By this
time, Ringo Starr had started using a “cha cha” drumming style,
which other drummers had not experimented with yet.
From the album Beatles VI, the song “Ticket to Ride” has a couple
of firsts. It was the first Beatles single to run past three minutes, and on
the day the single was recorded, John Lennon passed his driving test. As for
recording, the Beatles overdubbed drums, guitars, lead vocal, tambourine, and
From the song “We Can Work It Out” from the album “Rubber
Soul” released in 1965, the Beatles were the first rock band to use a
keyboard-like instrument called the harmonium. A rock critic from “Melody
Maker” said that” the album was not their best on first hearing,
and that it may not receive as much acclaim.”
The album “Yesterday and Today” from 1965, was the first rock
album to have a front cover that was banned and had to be redone. The album “Revolver” from
1966 had many new innovations recorded in the studio. The song “Eleanor
Rigby” was the first song to have a complex string arrangement, scored
by Sir. George Martin. It’s also unique because each Beatle contributed
a lyric idea. On the song “I’m only sleeping,” The Beatles
perfected a backward guitar sound, which some sources say took more than 14
hours to record. For the song “Tomorrow Never Knows” another key
innovation was John Lennon’s processed lead vocal. For “Revolver” a
production technique that was used for the first time was called “Automatic
The Beatles in the Studio
The album “Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” has the
distinction from “Rolling Stone” magazine for being one of the
most influential albums in the history of rock music. Even rock critics, who
in the past didn’t give the Beatles more credit than they deserved, gave
the album the title of the greatest album of all time. The album took an astounding
129 days to record. The album was also the first “concept album”.
For it, The Beatles used four French horn players. It was the first album of
its kind to have a gatefold sleeve. The cover also was the first to have its
lyrics printed on the back. The song “A Day in the Life” also had
a first when three grand pianos, in the key of E major were all struck at the
same time and lasted 53 seconds total. After the piano chord has faded, a high
frequency sound was recorded because John Lennon wanted to “Annoy your
dog” followed by “Beatles chatter”.
From the album “Magical Mystery Tour” the song “I Am the
Walrus” Sir George Martin himself calls the song “Organized chaos”. “Magical
Mystery Tour” was the only Beatles record to be divided into two halves.
The first side was the film’s soundtrack and the second side was a collection
of A and B sides released in 1967.
From “The White Album” released in 1968, it was the first Beatles
record to transition from 4-track tape to 8-track tape. The album was also
the band’s first double record, spanning over 95 minutes. A reviewer
from the New York Times, Nik Cohn, considered the album “Boring beyond
The Beatles' Final Photo
Session - 1969
The album “Yellow Submarine” from 1969 turned out to be the Beatles
weakest release. It was not considered a “proper Beatles” album
because they weren’t as involved in the recording sessions, as the last
six songs were not recorded by them.
The Beatles' last two albums “Let It Be” and Abbey Road were recorded
during a time of upheaval and disagreements within the band. “Abbey Road” turned
out to be the Beatles best-selling album ever.
Even though the Beatles started off 1962 with a bang, and ended quietly in
1970 when they broke up, they are considered one of the best rock and roll
bands in the history of rock music. Because of their innovations in how they
recorded their albums, they are revered by rock critics and fans alike. There
are always going to be some rock critics and rock singers from other rock bands
that argue this point, but still appreciate and respect the music, and the
Guest article by Samuel Litman (with some editing by BeatlesLane).

The media bloodhounds just aren’t letting up. Very late Thursday evening, ESPN.com caught up with MSU booster Bill Bell and questioned him about the shocking statements Kenny Rogers made earlier in the day. Bell acknowledged that he was contacted by the NCAA and spoke with an investigator earlier in the week. He declined to provide any futher information than that.
An anonymous representative from the SEC confirmed that a message Bell recieved from Rogers, on behalf of Cecil Newton, was also forward by Bell to NCAA investigators.

The Voting Poll is closed and the results are in!
These are the next books we will be reading. I'll assign a month to them soon.
Number One Pick
BACK COVER: A Mysterious painting breathes hope and beauty into the darkest corners of Auschwitz--and the loneliest hearts of Manhattan.
Manhattan art dealer Sera James watched her world crumble at the altar two years ago, and her heart is still fragile. Her desire for distraction reignites a passion for a mysterious portrait she first saw as a young girl--a painting of a young violinist with piercing blue eyes.
In her search for the painting, Sera crosses paths with William Hanover--the grandson of a wealthy California real estate mogul--who may be the key to uncovering the hidden masterpiece. Together Sera and William slowly unravel the story behind the painting's subject: Austrian violinist Adele Von Bron.
A darling of the Austrian aristocracy of 1942, talented violinist, and daughter to a high-ranking member of the Third Reich, Adele risks everything when she begins smuggling Jews out of Vienna. In a heartbeat, her life of prosperity and privilege dissolves into a world of starvation and barbed wire. As Sera untangles the secrets behind the painting, she finds beauty in the most unlikely of places: the grim camps of Auschwitz and the inner recesses of her own troubled heart.
BACK COVER:The women who spent their childhood summers in a small southern town discover it harbors secrets as lush as the marshes that surround it...
Bonny Blankenship’s most treasured memories are of idyllic summers spent in Watersend, South Carolina, with her best friend, Lainey McKay. Amid the sand dunes and oak trees draped with Spanish moss, they swam and wished for happy-ever-afters, then escaped to the local bookshop to read and whisper in the glorious cool silence. Until the night that changed everything, the night that Lainey’s mother disappeared.
Now, in her early fifties, Bonny is desperate to clear her head after a tragic mistake threatens her career as an emergency room doctor, and her marriage crumbles around her. With her troubled teenage daughter, Piper, in tow, she goes back to the beloved river house, where she is soon joined by Lainey and her two young children. During lazy summer days and magical nights, they reunite with bookshop owner Mimi, who is tangled with the past and its mysteries. As the three women cling to a fragile peace, buried secrets and long ago loves return like the tide.
BACK COVER:“I wonder how the book got to Guernsey? Perhaps there is some sort of secret homing instinct in books that brings them to their perfect readers.” January 1946: London is emerging from the shadow of the Second World War, and writer Juliet Ashton is looking for her next book subject. Who could imagine that she would find it in a letter from a man she’s never met, a native of the island of Guernsey, who has come across her name written inside a book by Charles Lamb. . . . As Juliet and her new correspondent exchange letters, Juliet is drawn into the world of this man and his friends—and what a wonderfully eccentric world it is. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society—born as a spur-of-the-moment alibi when its members were discovered breaking curfew by the Germans occupying their island—boasts a charming, funny, deeply human cast of characters, from pig farmers to phrenologists, literature lovers all. Juliet begins a remarkable correspondence with the society’s members, learning about their island, their taste in books, and the impact the recent German occupation has had on their lives. Captivated by their stories, she sets sail for Guernsey, and what she finds will change her forever. Written with warmth and humor as a series of letters, this novel is a celebration of the written word in all its guises and of finding connection in the most surprising ways.
Our FIRST Book Club Meeting Starts August 21st We are reading Brentwood's Ward!
How can I participate in this club? Is it on-line or in person?
This is an on-line book club I'm super excited about this group. I will create a discussion page similar to this one. I'll post some questions to get the discussion going like I do for the monthly drawings. I will start the New Discussion group on August 21st. Everyone will have time to join the discussion from that day until the end of the month (like I do with the drawings) But in this case there will be back and forth discussions. I look forward to it. If you have any other questions please email me at firstname.lastname@example.org
Here is the Line up for when we read these books. I'm So Excited to share with you that The Guernsey Literary Potato Peel Pie Society was made into a movie and has just arrived on Netflix. I saw the movie last night and was thrilled they kept close to the book. I really enjoyed the movie.
That being said The Guernsey Literary Potato Peel Pie Society will be our SEPTEMBER Book to discuss starting Sept. 21st. So, we will also be discussing the movie (for those who watch it) and how it differs from the book.
The Butterfly and the Violin by Kristy Cameron will be for October's read. Sticking to the theme of WWII.
The Book Shop at Water's Edge by Patti Callahan Henry will be our November's book club pick.
If you have any questions please contact me. email@example.com
I've requested the ebook of The Guernsey Literary Potato Peel Society from the library. I'm on the waiting list.

Enabling the Delivery of New Net Zero Carbon Homes
February 23, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pmFree
The UK government has committed to reach net zero emissions by 2050 and, alongside this, build 300,000 new homes a year by the mid-2020s. Government policy and regulation can help set the direction of travel in decarbonising new homes, however recent updates to the Future Buildings Standard and Heat and Buildings Strategy demonstrate that increased ambition from industry is required. Existing homes are already responsible for 16% of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions, and so new homes in design today must go beyond current building regulations to be compatible with the UK’s net zero target.
Guide to delivering new net zero carbon homes
Developers and housebuilders are aware that the design, construction and operation of new homes must change significantly in order to deliver them as net zero carbon, however the exact nature of these changes remains unclear. UKGBC published the Net Zero Carbon Buildings Framework Definition in 2019 to build industry consensus on what constitutes a net zero carbon building and, for new homes, additional detail can now be layered onto the framework to provide further definition. This includes outlining what should be delivered at handover stage to ensure a home is ‘enabled’ as net zero carbon in operation and applying industry-developed ‘targets’ (RIBA and LETI) to inform the level of performance expected.
Case study for low carbon residential developments
UKGBC’s Net Zero Whole Life Carbon Roadmap states that embodied carbon emissions will make up over half of built environment emissions by 2035. Some residential developers are beginning to assess the embodied carbon from new homes, yet the embodied carbon from the development or masterplan works – including roads, utilities and energy infrastructure – which consume large amounts of construction materials, is typically overlooked. Uncovering these impacts can reveal opportunities for ‘quick wins’ to reduce embodied carbon and, in parallel, help to deliver biodiversity net gain and improved resident amenity.
This event will see the launch of two resources:
- Introduction to new net zero carbon homes – providing the industry with clarity key considerations when designing and delivering new net zero carbon homes.
- Case study for low carbon residential developments – based on a real-world, low rise residential scheme that is currently going through the planning process.
At the event, attendees will gain insights into key learnings from each resource, which can then be used to help lay the foundation for delivering new net zero carbon homes, alongside low carbon residential developments.
This event is the first in a two part series – a follow-up event later in 2022 will examine the real-world design and cost implications for practically delivering new zero carbon homes.
