Jove V4279 Fingers Of Death NF
Fingers Of Death
(The Shadow #17)
By Maxwell Grant
Cover by Jim Steranko
One by one, the city's most prominent citizens fell prey to an
ingenious and macabre series of murders. A mysterious, pitiless agent of
evil on a single-minded mission of destruction was at work - a terrible
power whom hapless victims, in their last living moments, came ot know
and dread as the Fingers of death.
Authorities grew more baffled as the ring of horror spread ever
wider. One man and one man alone could penetrate the veil of secrecy and
reveal the grim living presense behind those murderous fingers. A man
more spectral than night itself, a phantom in a dark slouch hat and
flowing cloak, whose eerie laugh of triumph sowed terror in the hearts
of criminals everywhere.

I was recently asked to sum up my life as a writer in 500 words or less. I thought you all might be interested to see what I wrote. It was a challenging exercise, but I’m glad I did it.
I began writing seriously in the spring of 2007. I was working in a book store and found a few friends with similar reading tastes. We bonded because of our love of great writing. We eventually started a writers group that still meets to this day.
Since starting our group in 2007 (dubbed, “The Weaklings”) I’ve participated in the “3-Day Novel Contest” numerous times, I’ve published book reviews and small news articles in the local press, and I’ve had articles published in online magazines.
In 2008 I began working for Zondervan publishing house (a Harper Collins Co.) and have written press releases, blog posts, and book jacket copy as a part of my job. My interest in quality writing has been fueled by my work at Zondervan, particularly as I’ve interacted with copy editors and acquisition editors. I’ve also had the opportunity to do some macro-editing and slush reading for our editorial team.
I now (attempt) to write daily. I journal frequently, I write short stories, I write a blog, I’ve drafted two novels, and I write small non-fiction pieces whenever I have an opportunity or an outlet to do so.
Writing has become many things in my life. It’s a tool I use to process my experiences. It’s a vehicle for expression. It’s also a joyful means to tell a story. And it’s one of my favorite ways to let my creativity run wild.
Writing this little piece was hard because the word count seemed too small. I had a hard time making cuts. However, the more extraneous material I deleted, the easier it became. I eventually focused the piece enough to include only the most important points, and came in way under the word count: 235.
Could you write something like this about your life as a writer? Give it a try! If for no other reason, it’s fun to look back and see how far you’ve come.

Jennifer Winget Goes Through Physical and Mental Training for ‘Code M’
BY ILA SANKRITYAYAN
MUMBAI, (IANS) – Popular TV face Jennifer Winget is back in Season 2 of ‘Code M’ as Major Monica Mehra. Ektaa R. Kapoor’s ‘Code M’ marks the OTT debut of Jennifer.
The actress who was seen in TV show ‘Beyhadh 2’, playing the role of a psychopath Maya, is seen in the series as a fearless and brave Monica Mehra, the hero in the series that revolves around the Indian Army.
Jennifer said, “Every bit of this character, I have enjoyed playing because it is also kind of therapeutic for me as a person. Monica, for example, is such a strong headed and such a confident and no-nonsense kind of person. So, I take a leaf out of her book sometimes. With this character, I try to believe in what I am. So, it’s just as challenging and tough, it is also very rewarding as an actor.”
While season 1 of ‘Code M’ saw Major Monica Mehra, an Indian Army lawyer who is investigating cases related to the assassination of Indian Army officers, Season 2 will bring more detailed side of her character.
The ‘Bepannah’ actress further talked about her working experience with co-actors, Tanuj Virwani, Rajat Kapoor and Swanand Kirkire.
“It was just a great experience. In season one, I got to work with Rajat Kapoor and Tanuj. I got to learn so much from Mr Kapoor. It was just amazing working with him and Tanuj. As you know, we have also become friends over a period, and he’s just such an amazing person to be around. He is full of life.”
She added: “Every time we are working together, I’m just constantly laughing, and I just love having that positivity around me. And in season two I got to work with Swanand Kirkire and other actors that I can’t name right now. So, it is just so nice to be in their company and to learn so much from them.”
Asked how she prepared herself physically and emotionally for playing such a badass character, she replied: “I think it’s not just me. We all put in a lot of effort from our director, producer, or action master, my co-actors, we all, I think, got on the same page, and put in the same amount of love, heart, and soul. There was physical training that I had to do to be able to perform the stunts effortlessly on-screen. But that’s the kind of prep that I love to do before any project that I start.”
Jennifer asserted despite playing a strong-headed character, there are many shades of Monica where the audience will relate to it.
While playing such a fierce character, one needs to focus on physical strength and her fitness mantra, “is to be healthy is to not just conform to one form of exercise or diet or go on these crazy diets. I don’t believe that. I believe in being healthy. I am not a gym fanatic. I love yoga, my pilates, horse riding, swimming, I love doing these kinds of outdoor sports. They allow me to be in nature because we don’t get to do that very often in the city. I am consistent with whatever workout that I do. And just stick at it and have fun with it.”
On how she deals with controversies and being linked to co-actors, she answered firmly: “I don’t deal with it only. It’s a part of the profession that I am in. My family and friends know my truth and my fans know my truth and that’s all that matters to me.”
Alongside Jennifer, Tanuj Virwani and Swanand Kirkire will also be seen returning to ‘Code M’ Season 2 in key roles.
Helmed by Akshay Choubey, created by Ektaa R Kapoor, the eight-episode series ‘Code M 2’ premieres on June 9 on Voot Select.

Basehor Chamber of Commerce cuts ribbon for Reece & Nichols at Basehor Town Square
Basehor The Reece & Nichols Real Estate business and its staff is no stranger to Basehor after serving the community for 21 years. But last Thursday, the business finally celebrated its official ribbon cutting with the Basehor Chamber of Commerce.
"We've been here a long time," branch manager Steve Rosenthal said. "Through the tough times, the bad times, the good times and the really good times."
The ribbon cutting ceremony last week marked the one year anniversary of Reece & Nichols moving into its current location in the Basehor Town Square facing Wolf Creek Parkway.
Rosenthal said the business is doing great this year after a down period about three years ago.
"Things have really picked up," Rosenthal said.
According to figures provided by City Attorney Lloyd Martley at last month's city council meeting, the city is seeing continued growth in building permits for houses. So far this year, Martley said, the city has received more than 40 requests, which is on pace to surpass last year's record of 87.
The median home value in Basehor, KS is $150,400, according to the Reece & Nichols website, which is higher than the county median home value of $126,100. The national median home value is $152,300. Approximately 73.21 percent of Basehor homes are owned, compared to 19.88 percent rented, while 6.91 percent are vacant, the website states.
Reece & Nichols has a team of about 17 realtors in Basehor and Bonner Springs.
"We've really got a great team here," Rosenthal said.

Self-employed people, sole proprietors and those who work for small businesses can band together and create an association health plan to help them get better health insurance rates.
The federal government also loosened regulations involving AHP’s geographic locations and the Affordable Care Act’s AHP requirements. The result is that AHPs are once again a lower-cost option for Americans and now have added consumer protections.
Let’s take a look at AHPs, how they compare with other health plans, and how to sign up:
- What’s an association health plan?
- New AHPs offer more protections
- Possible issues with AHPs
- Health insurance alternatives
- Which health plan is best for you?
- How to sign up for an association health plan
AHPs allow small businesses and self-employed people to band together to buy health insurance. In theory, this gives small businesses more leverage when contracting with health insurers.
Large companies have more negotiating power when it comes to health insurance. Smaller businesses usually pay higher health insurance costs. AHPs look to even the playing field.
AHPs are lower-cost and can come with fewer consumer protections. AHPs were once a more popular alternative. They fell out of favor after the ACA required AHPs offer the same protections as individual health plans.
The additional regulations led to many AHPs disbanding. Kaiser Family Foundation said only 6% of employers with fewer than 250 employees offered coverage through an AHP in 2018. That percentage is expected to grow as more small businesses look for ways to reduce health costs.
Sole proprietors can also come together with other self-employed people or small businesses to get insurance. The law requires members of an AHP share a similar professional or the same general business region. They don’t have to live in the same state.
Though not as regulated as the individual market, the new AHP regulation does provide some protections, said Kev Coleman, president of AssociationHealthPlans.com.
“Some of the key consumer protections related to these new large group association health plans are pre-existing condition coverage, preventive care coverage, maternity and newborn care coverage, COBRA benefits and prohibitions on annual/lifetime spending caps for health benefits,” Coleman said.
The federal regulation also forbids AHPs from charging higher premiums or denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions. Coleman said other regulations also apply to AHPs, such as the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act and the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act.
Plus, states can demand AHPs offer additional coverage. States differ in regulations associated with AHPs.
Angela Sluss, COO of Wellthie, said, “Some states are embracing AHPs as they are operating under the belief that the plans will enable their small business owners to provide their employees with affordable health care options. However, there are certainly other states concerned that the affordability of AHPs, when compared to alternative insurance options, will cause more healthy individuals to join those plans, leaving less healthy individuals paying a higher premium,” said Sluss.
Despite fears that AHPs would result in fewer consumer protections, a report by AssociationHealthPlans.com found that the new plans provide comprehensive benefits and double-digit cost savings.
Coleman said the new AHPs are offering similar coverage to regular health insurance plans. Many are providing coverage for doctor visits, hospitalization, emergency care, prescription drugs, maternity, preventive and mental health care.
Most of the AHPs were set up by regional associations, such as chambers of commerce. Coleman found that AHPs usually offer multiple plan options.
Coleman added that nearly half of the new AHPs are available to sole proprietors and self-employed people. About half are limited to businesses with between two and 50 employees.
Nearly half also offer medical savings accounts, such as Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). HSAs allow people to save money tax-free for health expenses.
Major insurers are involved in AHPs, such as UnitedHealthcare and Blue Cross Blue Shield plans. That list could grow depending on how many people sign up for AHPs.
One example of an AHP is provided by Land O’Lakes. The Land O’ Lakes Cooperative Farmer Health Plan provides ACA-compliant plans with an extensive network of doctors and hospitals. The AHP is available in Minnesota and Nebraska to farmers in participating co-ops and individual dairy farmers in those states.
Previous AHPs were prone to fraud and “junk plans.” So-called junk health plans, which were more common before the ACA, don’t offer enough protection for people. They also can lead to hefty out-of-pocket costs.
However, Coleman said current AHP regulation offers anti-fraud protections. For instance, insurers, brokers, and health care provider networks can’t control an AHP. That’s considered a conflict of interest now.
“Instead, an association health plan is required to be controlled by the companies belonging to the association and these companies must also have employer participation in the plan. Thus, the regulation seeks to leverage the employer’s’ own self-interest to discourage abuse,” Coleman said.
Coleman said fully-insured AHPs have a low risk of fraud. A third-party insurer runs the day-to-day operation of a fully-insured AHP.
Self-insured plans, on the other hand, are a higher fraud risk, but they’re subject to the new regulation’s anti-fraud provisions.
Nevertheless, AHP critics worry the newly-reinvigorated plans may cause a mass exodus from ACA plans. The American Academy of Actuaries predicted between 3 and 10% of Americans in the individual market would drop coverage and move to AHPs. Avalere predicted AHPs will move 3.2 million enrollees from the individual and small-group markets to AHPs by 2022. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that 4 million Americans will join an AHP by 2023.
An AHP is one avenue for small business owners and sole proprietors. There are other health insurance options, too.
You should weigh the pros and cons of each before deciding on a plan. Here are some other options for you:
Spouse’s employer-sponsored plan
You can check to see if you can get added to your spouse’s employer-sponsored plan. This option would likely offer you more protection and fewer out-of-pocket costs than an AHP.
That said, employer-sponsored health insurance usually costs more than short-term plans and AHPs. You’ll have to decide whether the potentially added protections are worth the added costs in an employer-sponsored plan.
Employees paid an average of $5,588 annually on premiums for family coverage in 2020, according to Kaiser Family Foundation.
Individual market/ACA plan
Individual insurance is an option, but it can come with a higher price tag than other coverage depending on your income.
If you’re at 400% of the federal poverty level or lower, the federal government provides tax cuts and subsidies to help pay for health insurance for those with an ACA plan. That can help cut down the costs of your premiums.
Check out the Health Insurance Advisor to help you find an individual plan.
Short-term health plan
The Trump administration expanded short-term health plans in 2019. Now, anyone can get a short-term plan. Previously, those eligible were only young adults and those who couldn’t afford any other type of coverage.
However, the new regulation lets anyone sign up for a short-term plan. Plus, people can have short-term health plans for a year and renew two more times. So, in essence, you can have a short-term health plan for up to three years.
Short-term health plans are low-cost, but they may not offer the same protections as a regular health insurance plan. For instance, you may pay much higher out-of-pocket costs with a short-term plan or not have some services covered.
Nevertheless, a short-term health plan could be an option for you if you’re young and healthy and only want a health insurance safety net.
COBRA is an option if you lost your job within the past 18 months. You must sign up for coverage within 60 days of job loss.
The benefit of COBRA is that you get to keep your employer-sponsored insurance. The downside is that the employer no longer chips in to help pay for coverage. Instead, you may spend as much as 102% of the plan’s costs.
That can lead to hefty costs when you consider that the average annual family premiums were nearly $20,000 in 2020. Employees paid about $5,588 of that amount on average. The employer paid the rest.
In a COBRA plan, the former employee would have to pay the full amount.
Medicaid, which covers 70 million Americans, is based on your income.
Your state decides on income eligibility. Medicaid expansion allows states to expand eligibility up to 138% of the federal poverty level. Thirty-eight states have expanded Medicaid and others are exploring the possibility.
Medicaid’s provider networks aren’t as large as Medicare or employer-sponsored health insurance. So, you may have a little more trouble finding a doctor who takes Medicaid. That said, Medicaid is a low-cost option for lower-income Americans with small out-of-pocket costs and plenty of consumer protections.
Here’s a round-up of different health insurance options and who might be interested in each one:
- Association health plan — You’re self-employed or a small business owner who belongs to an organization that offers an AHP.
- Employer-sponsored health insurance — Your spouse has health insurance through his/her company and you’re looking for a health insurance plan that offers full protection and you’re not as concerned about costs.
- Individual market/ACA plan — You want more coverage than what an AHP offers and don’t mind higher premiums. This could also be an option if your household income is less than 400% of the federal povery level, since you can benefit from tax breaks and subsidies.
- Short-term health plan — You want low costs and don’t expect to need much health care.
- COBRA — You lost your job within the past 60 days and you want to keep your employer-sponosred health plan. You also don’t mind paying for all of the health insurance costs.
- Medicaid — You qualify for coverage and want a low-cost option with full coverage.
How to enroll in an AHP depends on the association. You’ll want to check with your groups and associations to see who’s the approved insurance broker to sign up for an AHP.
If you’re a sole proprietor, you must meet the association’s eligibility requirements, such as belonging to a specific chamber of commerce or trade group that offers an AHP.
If you’re interested in an AHP, Coleman suggested:
- Review the plan’s Summary of Benefits, so you know exactly what the plan offers. Compare it to other coverage options.
- Make sure your doctors and hospitals are considered in-network. Out-of-network care leads to higher out-of-pocket costs. That can result in surprise medical bills.
- Don’t focus only on premium costs. Review deductibles and copayments. Put all of those costs together to figure out the plan’s total costs before deciding.
Sluss said it’s critical to educate yourself on the plans’ offerings and potential limitations.
“I encourage individuals to know how their state views Association Health Plans and to keep that in mind when making this important decision,” Sluss said.

A specular reflectance system for the infrared analysis of micro size samples is described and its advantages and limitations compared to other micro infrared techniques. Samples are mounted on small metal mirrors which reflect the light beam back through the sample. A transmission spectrum of the sample is thereby obtained but the effective path length is twice that of the actual thickness. A given absorption band therefore has twice the absorbance obtained by conventional transmission measurements The system has been applied mainly to gas chromatographic fractions but should be suitable to a variety of other analyses. Major limitations include a "stray light" artifact, polymorphism effects, and difficulties in achieving sample uniformity.

TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - It’s been nearly two months since Governor Abbott lifted the statewide stay at home order. When it comes to sales and use tax revenue, cities across East Texas are just now beginning to see the shortfall after about a month of closed businesses and decreased economic activity.
“There’s essentially a two month lag that occurs on sales tax collection as far as receipts when they are provided to the city,” Tyler City Manager Ed Broussard said.
In Tyler, sales tax revenue is down about 20% from this time last year. Longview is down 23%, according to the Texas Comptroller.
“Especially with cities that have high interest in oil and gas activities, us, Longview, Midland, is that our percentages were, as far as of decrease from year to year, were much higher than cities that don’t have a lot of oil and gas activities,” Broussard said.
Despite the decrease in revenue, Smith County Judge Nathaniel Moran is proposing lowering property taxes in next year’s budget.
“There’s a lot of folks out there that are struggling economically as a result of COVID-19, and we understand that. We want to try to not just keep property taxes consistent, but we want to in fact drop property taxes as we roll into the next year,” Moran said.
This comes at a time when revenues are lower and budgets are tighter.
“Our other primary streams of revenue are also dropping. Our sales tax revenue which accounts for about 22 or 23% of our revenue and our fines and fees which, traditionally, accounts for between 13 and 15% of our revenue, all of that is dropping without us doing anything, just naturally because of the COVID-19 situation,” Moran said.
Judge Moran says the county’s reserve fund is making it possible to still lower property taxes, while still recovering from the revenue losses caused by the stay-at-home order.

The ASU Swette Center for Sustainable Food Systems recently released a report to help President Joe Biden set a new agriculture agenda based to organic foods. “The Critical To-Do List for Organic Agriculture: Recommendations for the President” is outlined with 46 recommendations for the current administration and Congress to use as a framework for food development and safety as well as its impacts on climate change, research, supply chain, animal welfare standards, racial justice, social equity and enforcement.
“In our report, we establish a baseline of support that USDA should provide the organic sector — 6% of whatever dollars are being distributed,” said Kathleen Merrigan, Swette Center executive director and Kelly and Brian Swette Professor of Practice in Sustainable Food Systems. “We chose this number because 6% of food purchased in the U.S. today is organic. We argue that support for the organic sector should, at minimum, be commensurate with its market share.”
Learn more about the center’s approach to developing these recommendations and some information behind the numbers in this exclusive interview with Merrigan on ASU News.


Everyone’s treating the BAIC deal as a one-way street, with BAIC picking up technology from Saab and Saab getting little back but the money to secure the K-Segg deal.
Maybe, just maybe they’re further ahead than we thought and maybe there’s going to be some co-development on stuff. Sooner than we think?
A top executive of Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Corp (BAIC) said on Tuesday that the automaker would complete the R&D of its first-ever pure electric sedan before the end of this month.
“We are currently developing a moderate hybrid for military use, a full hybrid SUV for civilians and a mild hybrid engineering vehicle,” said Wang Dazong, general manager of Beijing Auto, at an industry event in Beijing.
He emphasized that the company would probably complete R&D of a pure electric sedan before the end of October.
Hybrid and electric are undoubtedly going to be a big part of Saab’s future. Perhaps they’ll have someone to partner with that they’re related to.
I’ve got to admit, now that Saab’s independence engines are almost up and running and electric Saabs are a realistic blip on the horizon, I’m getting more interested in them. I’ve always been into cars for the raw driving experience, but now that something feels like a real possibility, I’m starting to get more interested.
I guess I owe Gripen an apology for my indifference in the past (there’s a test to see if he’s still checking in). Gripen, rest in the knowledge that you’re at least three years ahead of me in your thinking!

The Progressive Shift: Healthcare’s Journey to AR
Over the past decade, the healthcare industry has witnessed a remarkable transformation with the integration of augmented reality (AR) technology. This progressive shift has revolutionized the way medical professionals diagnose, treat, and educate patients. As we delve into the journey of AR in healthcare, we will explore the various stages of its evolution and the potential it holds for the future.
1. Early Adoption: Exploring the Possibilities
In the early stages, healthcare professionals began to explore the potential of AR technology. They recognized its ability to enhance surgical procedures, improve patient outcomes, and streamline medical training. Surgeons, for instance, started using AR overlays during complex surgeries to visualize internal structures in real-time, reducing the risk of errors and improving precision.
Medical students also benefited from AR applications, which allowed them to practice procedures in a virtual environment, gaining valuable experience before entering the operating room. This early adoption phase laid the foundation for the integration of AR into mainstream healthcare practices.
2. Integration and Optimization: Enhancing Patient Care
As AR technology matured, healthcare organizations began integrating it into their daily operations to enhance patient care. One of the most significant applications of AR in healthcare is the use of smart glasses or headsets that provide real-time patient data to medical professionals. This hands-free access to critical information allows doctors to focus on the patient while simultaneously accessing vital medical records, test results, and treatment plans.
AR also plays a crucial role in patient education. By overlaying digital information onto physical objects, doctors can explain complex medical conditions and treatment options in a more understandable and engaging manner. This empowers patients to make informed decisions about their healthcare and actively participate in their treatment journey.
3. Remote Healthcare: Breaking Barriers
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of remote healthcare solutions, and AR played a pivotal role in bridging the gap between patients and healthcare providers. Telemedicine platforms integrated with AR technology enable doctors to conduct virtual consultations, diagnose conditions, and even guide patients through self-administered procedures.
AR-powered remote healthcare solutions have proven particularly beneficial in rural areas with limited access to specialized medical services. Patients can receive expert care without the need for extensive travel, reducing costs and improving overall healthcare accessibility.
4. Future Possibilities: Advancements on the Horizon
The journey of AR in healthcare is far from over. As technology continues to advance, we can expect even more exciting possibilities. For instance, researchers are exploring the use of AR in mental health therapy, where immersive environments can aid in the treatment of conditions such as anxiety and phobias.
Additionally, AR has the potential to revolutionize medical training by simulating complex scenarios and allowing students to practice in a risk-free environment. This not only enhances their skills but also reduces the need for expensive cadavers and live patient training.
The progressive shift towards AR in healthcare has transformed the industry, empowering medical professionals, improving patient outcomes, and expanding access to quality care. From its early adoption to its integration into mainstream practices, AR has proven its value in enhancing surgical procedures, patient education, and remote healthcare.
As we look to the future, the possibilities for AR in healthcare are limitless. With ongoing advancements and innovative applications, we can expect to see even more remarkable transformations in the way we approach healthcare. The journey of AR in healthcare is an exciting one, and it is up to healthcare organizations and professionals to embrace this technology and unlock its full potential.

The new Sappho papyrus probably came from Egypt and perhaps from Oxyrynchus, but its provenance may never be known.
Today, a lack of provenance often means one of two things: an artifact is forged or an artifact was illegally acquired.
Ask yourself about the provenance, the use, what will become of each of the objects you take out.
The company prides itself on the provenance of its blades, which, while cheap, are hardly commodities.
Proving that in this case, provenance—and prescience—can be quite lucrative.
The Garuḍa may itself be of Persian provenance, for birds play a considerable part in Persian mythology.
Day after day I wondered about its provenance, but your letter dispels the mystery.
If it be true, it falls in with the palaeographic indications and suggests an Alexandrian provenance.
When there is any doubt the history and provenance of the work should be carefully studied.
There where true grace simply used ease and provenance, affected grace becomes effeminacy.

Match TV: Russia will not appeal the result of Dina Averina at the Olympic Games due to the regulations
Judgment (CAS) results of the individual all-around in rhythmic gymnastics at the 2021 Olympics. This was reported by Match TV, citing a source.
The reason was a legal error. It is noted that for the proceedings it was necessary to comply with the temporary rules for filing a claim, but Russia did not have time to collect the documents in time.
At the Tokyo Olympics, Russian woman Dina Averina missed the victory in the individual all-around. She was preceded by an Israeli Lina Ashram, who dropped an object during her speech. The failure of the Russian gymnast provoked talk of biased refereeing at the tournament.
President of the All-Russian Rhythmic Gymnastics Federation Irina Viner-Usmanova called refereeing at the Games a complete collapse and shame. It was noted that Russia will challenge the refereeing.


Nigeria’s main opposition party won the gubernatorial election in the southwestern state of Osun, the electoral commission said on Sunday, in a major setback against President Muhammadu Buhari’s ruling All Progressives Congress.
Osun is among eight of Nigeria’s 36 states where gubernatorial elections are not held at the same time as the rest of the country due to legal challenges to previous results.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said Senator Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) won 403,371 votes to unseat current APC governor Gboyega Oyetola, who won 375,027 on Saturday’s ballot.
“I declare… that PDP’s Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke, having met the requirements of the law, is hereby re-elected,” INEC scrutineer Oluwatoyin Temitayo Ogundipe said in Osogbo, the state capital.
Adeleke, 62, won 17 of the state’s 30 local government areas, while Oyetola won 13.
The announcement was greeted with spontaneous celebrations in the streets of the state capital as PPD supporters began singing and dancing. Motorists honked their horns on the highways.
Election observers said the polls, which opened early with a large turnout, were peaceful, but added that cases of vote buying were rampant.
Of the 15 parties that competed for the seat, only four candidates were the main candidates. They were Oyetola from the APC who was seeking a second term, Adeleke from the PDP, Akin Ogunbiyi from the Agreement Party and Yusuf Lasun from the Labor Party.
However, it was a close race between old political foes Oyetola and Adeleke, who lost by less than 500 votes after a runoff four years ago.
Described locally as a “dancing senator” due to his penchant for partying, Adeleke is the uncle of celebrated Nigerian superstar singer Davido, who joined him on the campaign trail.
The PPD standard-bearer comes from a wealthy political family. His father was a senator in the 1980s, while his late brother Isiaka was state governor from 1992 to 1993.
Another brother, Deji, is a billionaire oil and shipping magnate and Davido’s father.
Davido was in the state to mobilize the youth, including his supporters and fans, for his uncle.
The vote was seen as a battleground for Nigeria’s main parties to test support for their presidential candidates ahead of elections in February 2023 when Buhari steps down after eight years in office.
The APC chose former state governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu as its presidential candidate.
The loss of the APC at Osun is a severe blow to Tinubu’s regional influence.
Tinubu, a Muslim from the Southwest, faces a tough challenge from PDP candidate Atiku Abubakar, a Muslim from the North.
Another favorite is Peter Obi of the Labor Party, who has enjoyed growing support among the younger generation in a bid to break the dominance of the APC and PDP.
Last month, the APC won a gubernatorial vote in nearby Ekiti state with a landslide victory.

Day after day, Abby Adair Reinhard slumped out of her home office around dinnertime, her father’s abrupt COVID-19 death still fresh in her mind. Working to keep her flooring business afloat and worried about her mother’s health, she had little time for her three young kids.
“I would come out see my kids and think, ‘oh, good, at least they are all still alive,” she said. “And that’s horrible to admit.”
Reinhard’s father, who passed away in April, was among the first Americans to die of what at the time was a new virus sweeping the nation. Donald Adair, 76, had gone into the hospital after a fall and caught the virus from his hospital bed.
For agonizing hours, Reinhard, 42, and her three siblings listened to his labored breathing as he slowly weakened and died, one of about 1,500 Americans who passed away on April 6.
Daily deaths from the infection are now roughly twice that, and now nearly 500,000 have died, many of them alone in hospital beds following anguished, labored phone calls to family members.
Ten months after her father’s death, Reinhard and her family in Rochester, New York, are still struggling with their loss— and the loss of the community she once thought she could count on. While most people lift up her family, there are still some who unleash stabbing pain as they ask, “how old was he? Did he have underlying health conditions?”
Each question feels like an insult.
“It’s like, how does that even matter?” Reinhard said, anger rising in her voice. “Does that make it OK that he died? He’s dead. He shouldn’t be dead.”
Across the country, the virus has reshaped daily life, from the low-paid workers forced to remain on the job so they can feed their families and keep their healthcare, to the middle-class families who’ve suddenly had to home-school their children, cancel vacations and skip Thanksgiving dinners with loved ones.
Tens of millions of families face eviction, and as many as 10 million remain unemployed as restaurants limp along, hair salons operate under heavy restrictions and small businesses remain shuttered, many permanently. The virus has hit poor and marginalized communities the hardest: Coronavirus deaths for people of color are 1.2 to 3.6 times higher than for white Americans.
Like most families, Reinhard’s has battled through school closures and mask mandates, each day weighing personal safety against some semblance of normality. The kids went back to virtual school in early September under the supervision of a daily sitter, and twice a week Reinhard’s mom, a retired teacher, comes in to help with their schoolwork.
The routine helps. But very little is normal.
Anxiety. Nightmares. The ever-present smell of hand sanitizer. Fingernails jammed into the side of her thumb. Rushing past unmasked people at the dentist’s office. Five extra pounds from all the extra desserts.
Even photos of her smiling family shared on Facebook feel misleading, she said.
“I feel like I’ve been going through this process of healing with a wound that keeps getting ripped open again,” she said. “Being OK with not being OK was a big step for me. I know that I’m not my best self.”
Compounding her anguish, her kids are missing out on a normal childhood. Day after day, they sit at home with little outside interaction, their isolation the price her family pays to help slow the pandemic’s spread. Reinhard acknowledges that many Americans have chosen to ignore public health recommendations, which means they’re living far more normal lives.
Doing the right thing hurts, she said.
“My youngest, the other day, she said, ‘I don’t have a best friend. I don’t have friends,'” Reinhard said. “They haven’t played with other children since March. I know other families have, but we’ve chosen not to do that. And that’s a big deal. A year in the life of a young kid is such an eternity.”

I read the first issue recently. I wasn't impressed. I like the art. I know alot of people don't like Khoi Pham's art, but the story was a bit of a mess.
This. Since the end of the first series. The first series, much like the other image titles when they first came out were just straight up super heroics, it was fun. Sure most were blatant ripoffs of Marvel and DC characters, but they were fun.
But it seemed like the more volumes a title got the more confounded their story became. All sense of continuity was thrown out the window (if there ever was any) in an effort to "re-imagine" them. Cyberforce was probably my favorite of the original Image characters and titles, but even I had to give up on them long ago because it just became too much.

Much has been made about HBO’s need for an heir to current crown jewel and cultural phenomenon, Game of Thrones.Â While still the king of prestige television, HBO has had some recent misses such as the excoriatedÂ True DetectiveÂ season 2 and the highly pedigreed failureÂ Vinyl. With the beloved fantasy series soon at an end, HBO has been looking for something to take its place. So a great deal of pressure and attention has been placed on freshman sci-fi drama,Â Westworld. Perhaps over time it will become as critically lauded and phenomenally successful as GoT. But even though Westworld is currently occupying Jon Snow’s timeslot, it is actually the spiritual successor to ABC’s beloved and divisive series, Lost.
Spoiler Warning for Westworld through Ep. 8 “Trace Decay” Ahead
I am not the first to make this comparison but I think it deserves a bit more digital ink. Lost in many ways was one of the sparks that set off this renaissance of Golden Age Peak TV. The serialized, character-driven drama spawned countless imitators during its time and after it was gone. Despite their best efforts, none of these shows were able to capture what made Lost so special, controversial finale notwithstanding. From the magnificent pilot onwards, Lost wove an intricate web of mystery with layers of puzzlesÂ for the audience to solve. At a time when DVRs were less ubiquitous and social media was in a more nascent stage, Lost was truly appointment TV and the quintessential watercooler show. Finding out the answer to Charlie’s “Where are we?” question drove fan interest in the show. Shows likeÂ Flash Forward andÂ The Event crafted complex mysteries full of conspiracy and depth to try andÂ duplicate this success. Although these shows and others like them made valiant attempts (I actually really liked Flash Forward), they unfortunately missed the forest for the trees.
Lost’s many imitators sought to create compelling stories with big questions and maybe, unlike Lost, universally satisfying answers. But, where they erred was in focusing on the questions that would drive interest instead of focusing on the characters that would make the answers matter. These shows used characters to serve a story while Lost used story to serve its characters. All of the jaw-dropping moments and tangled plot lines don’t matter if the audience doesn’t invest in the characters. Through Lost’s brilliant use of flashbacks we came to know the passengers of Oceanic Flight 815 and we cared about the mystery around them because we cared about them.
Enter Westworld. In the wake of last week’s huge reveal, the similarities between this show and Lost are becoming ever more apparent. I cannot remember a show since Lost that has inspired this level of hypothesizing and fan interest (GoT doesn’t count because of the books that many viewers had already read). The compulsion to rewatch episodes to lookÂ for clues is reminiscent of pausing an episode of Lost to seeÂ a corporate logo on a shark’s tail. The various theories the internet has concocted to explain the show’s mysteries have become conversation starters among friends and strangers. But big questions and shocking answers do not alone make this a great show. What does is that we care about the characters caught up in this invisible and suffocating web of immorality, corporate espionage and an inventor’s God-complex.
The revalationÂ about Bernard mattered because the show created a human character with fears and doubts who has experienced loss and then revealed him to not be human at all. Like the tragic lives of the Losties, the mystery reveals the deeply flawed humanity of the characters, biologically human or not. Dolores’ story fascinates because she is finally gaining agency over her life and seeking some measure of freedom from the horror and sorrow that have followed her since her very creation. Meanwhile, Maeve is implementing a take no prisoners approach to her escape. There is even a possibility that in William’s story, we are seeing a Lost-esque flashback take place in long-form. Although not confirming this theory (yet), this week did show that we are dealing with multiple timelines to some degree and that the past weighs heavily on these characters. We hadn’t been able to empathize with the Man in Black because his mission seemed so abstract, but his conversation this week with Teddy shed a bit more light on his past. If we are seeing how he became who he is then we can perhaps better understand his cruelty. None of the Losties were flawless paragons. Eko, Kate, Sawyer, Ben and even hero Jack, could be seen as less than good and even genuinely bad people. But, as we learned more about the life that made them who they are, we discover that humanity does not allow for moral absolutes on either end of the spectrum. The same goes for the characters of Westworld. Though they may wear white hats or black hats, they should all be wearing grey.
As we enter the home stretch of the season and on the heels of a season 2 renewal, there are many questions in need of answering. Who is Arnold? What is his plan? What is Ford’s new narrative and endgame? Is William the Man in Black? If so what happened to him? Will Maeve escape? What is the maze and what happens if you reach the center? Much like Lost,Â when this season ends I imagine there will be more than a few long lists written of lingering questions heading in to season 2. Hopefully Westworld will be more successful giving satisfying answers than Lost was. That this show has inspired the same type of speculation and level of interest as that iconic series is a feat no others have matched. All credit due to the creators, who took their time to ensure that they crafted a complex story with rich characters who made the tale worth telling.
As Anthony Hopkins’ Dr. Robert Ford so eloquently stated, “A couple of cheap thrills, some surprises, but it’s not enough…titillation, horror, elation, they’re parlor tricks. The guests don’t return for the obvious things we do, the garish things. They come back because of the subtleties, the details.”All of the series that wanted to be ‘the next Lost’ dealt mainly in parlor tricks, the obvious things that Lost did in an attempt to duplicate that success. In so doing they were exposed asÂ merely cheap imitations. Westworld does not lack in subtlety and the details do not go unnoticed, and it is for these reasons that Lost finally has a worthy successor.
WestworldÂ airs Sunday Nights at 9PM on HBO

Hundreds of MARTA workers will soon be looking elsewhere for employment.
MARTA is expected to lay off 371 employees in March.
That's according to an announcement posted by the Georgia Department of Economic Development on the website WARN, which tracks upcoming layoffs and closures throughout the state.
The cuts affect workers from MARTA's paratransit service.
In November, MARTA officials voted in favor of hiring a private company to provide that service.
According to a recent editorial in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, MARTA officials say that move will save the system about $2 million per year.

A proud, noisy, vibrant place, Liverpool has the striking look of a city that has been through many changes. The people are friendly, the attractions numerous, and the history fascinating. And there’s a river and some kind of a famous band, too. So why should you go to Liverpool?
For the culture
Liverpool famously won European Capital of Culture status in 2008, and its legacy is a lasting pride in cultural adventure and regeneration of every stripe. Theatre is lively, art is etched into the pavements, and there’s even a very moving Tracey Emin in the Anglican cathedral.
For The Beatles
As one hotelier recently said to me, “It’s tempting to go up to the hardcore fans and remind them that The Beatles don’t…you know… really exist anymore". But that would be churlish: even if you have only a passing interest in the Fab Four, you can’t help but notice their hits playing enticingly from many doorways, including that of The Beatles Story.
For the shopping
The Liverpool ONE development has remodelled the streets that linked the old shopping thoroughfares to the waterside. It has big-name shops galore, alongside a cinema and some good restaurants. Of course there have been casualties, but the independent spirit lives on in Bold Street, home of the offbeat retailer.
For the parties
A night out will always be an occasion in Liverpool. Dressing down is not an option, whether it’s a trawl around the bars of Concert Square, a gig at the Arena or paying tribute to club culture at Cream. Don’t forget the Mathew Street Festival: this year’s dates are August 28-29.
For the churches
Linked by Georgian Hope Street, Liverpool’s two cathedrals are truly beautiful places. The Metropolitan cathedral, known with little reverence as “Paddy’s Wigwam", is a 1960s construction beneath which lies the astonishing Lutyens crypt. The Anglican cathedral is toweringly massive, with vast but graceful internal spaces.
For the races
Liverpool is a fevered place during any sporting event, but things reach a new pitch during the Grand National. Hotel rooms sell for silly money and the city fills up fast, but if you’re up for it - the jostling, the drinking, the screechy ladies in silly hats - it’s a party like no other.
For the history
Money from the slave trade made Liverpool what it is. The International Slavery Museum is an acknowledgement of this part of the city’s history, and one of several outstanding - and free - museums in the city and just beyond it.
For the Mersey
Liverpool’s waterfront has an emotional pull for many Scousers, as well as providing a chance to go on the famous ferry. The Albert Dock, Three Graces and Pier Head, as well as the ACC development of arena and convention centre, line the river, and the views are fabulous down here.
For the football
The city’s economy thrives on football business, and when fans both local and international flood the streets in the build-up to a big match, there’s a unique atmosphere. And perhaps the best place to be is at the match, rather than trying to do a bit of sightseeing.
For the future
Change keeps on coming in Liverpool. The £72 million Museum of Liverpool, housed in a spectacular waterfront building, is due to open in the summer. There are also some sexy new hotels being built, and Liverpool’s face will change again.

Welcome to AFIA’s twist on “How It’s Made,” featuring animal food! Like many of the products made on the popular TV show, the making of animal feed is a multifaceted and methodical process.
It all starts with animal nutritionists, who can be considered the dieticians of the animal food world. Nutritionists formulate animal food to provide animals with the necessary, balanced nutrients for proper growth, development and maintenance. What is in animal food, you ask? More than 900 ingredients are approved for use in animal food in the U.S., including corn, soybean meal, citrus pulp and distillers grains – just to name a few!
The making of animal food can be summarized into four basic steps:
Create a formula
Nutritionists work side-by-side with researchers to formulate nutritionally sound and balanced diets for livestock, poultry, aquaculture and pets. This is a complex process, as every species has different nutritional requirements.
Receive raw ingredients
The feed mill receives raw ingredients from suppliers. Upon arrival, the ingredients are weighed, sampled and analyzed for various nutrients, for example, how much protein or fat is in the ingredient, and to ensure their quality and safety.
Once the formula is determined, the mill mixes and processes the ingredients to create a finished product. Just like human food, the final products can take on a variety of forms. The most common are meal, pelleted, crumbled, cubed and extruded (e.g., dog food kibbles).
Package and label
Manufacturers determine the best way to ship the product. If it is prepared to be sold and packaged, it will be “bagged and tagged,” or placed into a bag with a label that includes the product’s purpose, ingredients and feeding directions. If the product is prepared for large-scale use, it will be shipped in bulk.
Sounds pretty simple, right? These four steps are just the tip of the iceberg that is animal food production. Years and years of animal nutrition research and diet formulation go toward making sure animals have safe and nutritious food.
So next time you feed your cow, chicken or cat, you can feel confident that their nutritional needs are being met.

Jersey Shore's Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley have split up 'for good', days after his domestic violence arrest.
The volatile couple are said to have 'called it quits once and for all' after the reality TV personality, 33, was arrested and tasered last week for allegedly chasing Jen, 32, with a knife while holding their 18-month-old daughter Ariana Sky.
Both realise 'their daughter's safety is jeopardised when they're together' and Jen is reportedly planning 'to seek a restraining order against Ronnie for her and Ariana'.
It's over (again): Jersey Shore's Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley have split up 'for good', days after his domestic violence arrest (pictured together last week)
A source close to the situation told TMZ: 'Both Ronnie and Jen feel like the domestic incident from last week was the straw that broke the camel's back... they realise they can't continue on in a relationship...
'Their daughter's safety is jeopardised when they're together, and they can't risk that anymore.'
The on-off pair - who have previously split on numerous occasions - are believed to have 'reached this conclusion separately' and 'disagree over who is at fault' for the explosive row.
Both have admitted there is 'no going back from this fight' and sources close to Jen told TMZ she is 'concerned about their daughter's well-being and is vowing to never put her in a situation like that again'.

Optegra Eye Hospital in Didsbury is well known for its five-star treatments and services, but what many people don’t know is that it is also home to a research division dedicated to championing the latest innovations in eye care. Dr Clare O’Donnell, Head of Optegra Eye Sciences, explains:
“As well as offering a range of eye health treatments, such as laser eye surgery, cataract surgery and lens replacement to people across the North West, Optegra is also committed to the development of Eye Sciences. Our dedicated, not-for-profit research division, Optegra Eye Sciences, has been established since 2011 and works closely with our surgeon partners to evaluate new treatments and technologies, and carry out ophthalmic (eye) research. Essentially, we are here to help shape the future of eye health care.
“My remit here is extremely varied but incredibly exciting. On any given day, I could be examining patients participating in an ophthalmological research study, delivering presentations at an international conference, or working with our consultant ophthalmic surgeons on clinical outcomes-related activities. We have recently appointed two talented PhD students who are working with the Eye Sciences team in the field of dry eye disease.
“Knowing that our work helps to improve vision for thousands of people each year is very rewarding. For example, the Eye Sciences team recently trialled a new intra-operative guidance tool to assist surgeons in inserting advanced-technology ocular implants – a procedure which will help to restore sight to those suffering with visual loss due to cataracts.
“When we look to the future of eye care, particularly medical, there are many exciting research projects and innovations. For example, advances in the way Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is treated (a condition that affects your central vision), micro-invasive glaucoma surgery and refractive surgery are all underway. The new SMILE technology – a bladeless, flapless, minimally-invasive alternative to laser surgery – is currently offered at our new central London hospital, but we hope to make it available to patients across the UK in the not too distant future.
“My focus for the months ahead is to continue to put all efforts into these emerging technologies to ensure that Optegra remains at the forefront of eye care and research.”

SOMERSET — As the second runner-up, the Somerset High School Show Choir earned a silver rating at the Mill City Show Choir Festival a week and a half ago.
"We're very proud of the kids," Somerset Show Choir Director Richard Sylvia said.
The SHS show choir, named "Electrify," performed a medley of Journey songs, including "Faithfully" and "Separate Ways," as well as some other numbers that included Stephen Sondheim's "No One is Alone" in a show that is titled "Love, Part 2: Restless Hearts."
Somerset's Sarah Mayer won an award for best female soloist for her performance of Eric Carmen's "All by Myself."
"Sarah did a beautiful job," Mr. Sylvia said. "She has a wonderful voice and she has so much poise when she's out there performing."
Electrify's Derrick Souza won a best instrumental solo award for his performance on electric guitar. David Marshall, director of the pit band for the show choir, said Souza received a perfect score for his performance.
"The judge had great comments for him," Mr. Marshall said. "He was very excited, as we all were for him."
The pit band of the show choir received a special judge's award. Mr. Marshall said the judge was impressed with the band's use of tones during the show.
Most show choirs have small pit bands with a saxophone, two trumpets and a rhythm section, but the Somerset group has 18 players, with four trumpets, four saxophones, a drummer, guitarist, flute player, three violins and a piano and synthesizer, which Mr. Marshall said is a lot of people to fit on the back of a stage.
"We can create sounds in different colors that other ensembles can't create," Mr. Marshall said.
Mr. Marshall said the members of the pit band have to play intelligently and make sure they do no cover up the singing of the choir on stage. They play louder when the cast is just dancing and tone it down so they do not cover up the singing during other segments of the show.
The SHS show choir has 32 singer/dancers and and nine students who work in the set-up crew. Greg Bussiere does the choreography for the show choir.
"They've been working extremely hard for the past five months and they have just put together a solid show with some nice vocals and some nice choreography," Mr. Sylvia said.
Besides Mayer, other members of the show choir include Lauren Valcourt, Annalyn Watkinson, Kaleigh Brown, Cassidy Cousineau, Kristina DeMedeiros, Jamie Jancarik, Michaela McPherson, Jana Moroff, Kelly Neufell, Lauren Soares, Krystal DaCruz, Brendan Marden, Dave Melanson, Kyle Nadeau, Ryan Nadeau, Katie Correa, Lauren Domingue, Abbie Levesque, Victoria Melchert, Sacha Rebello, Tayler Thielman, Thomas Patten, Daniel Weeks, Seth Borges, Andrew Correia, Ben Holt, Chris Listenfelt, Kieran Murray, Tyler Rebello, Chris Ross and Mike Tremblay.
Other solos in the show include "Beggin'" by Melanson and "Hit Me Up" by Thielman. Cousineau, Melchert and Tremblay are dance captains for the show choir.
Besides Souza, members of the pit band include Emily Domingue, Nicole Audette, Angela Bethoney, Nathan Mendonca, Kevin Goddu, Zach St. Ours, Brandon Swenson, John Charest, Brian Dorsky, Jeffrey Boerth, Patrick Farrissey, Mason Fortier, Quentin Kroll, Mary Friar, Krista Viveiros, Liam Roy and Stephen Murphy.
Members of the set-up crew include Alexandria Carreiro, Lauren D'Allesandro, Meagan Darcy, Mariah DeCosta, Jenny Lee Fortier, Katelyn Hebert, Cameron Michaud, Stephanie Pereira and Paige Viveiros.

Yes, the novelization of Star Wars: The Force Awakens adds some scenes and information to the newest chapter in the Star Wars saga, including some hugely emotional moments for the characters. But it also fails to capture any of the lived-in, jaunty atmosphere of the movie, flitting from one point of view to another without ever really landing, and it rushes some critical scenes.
And that, among other things, makes it difficult to review. The Force Awakens has a pedigree: prolific author Alan Dean Foster ghostwrote the novelization of A New Hope and Splinter of the Mind’s Eye, the first EU novel, as well as scores of other franchise fiction and original novels. Flipping through, I realize that a lot of the same stylistic choices that bothered me in Foster’s version of The Force Awakens are present in the A New Hope novelization, too. In A New Hope, Obi-Wan’s death is quick, and switches from Obi-Wan’s perspective to Vader’s at the moment of his death. The scenes don’t really engage with the emotion within them, although, at times, neither does any other part of Star Wars—Luke’s grief for Obi-Wan is brief, and Leia’s sadness for Alderaan is almost nonexistent on screen. And the novelization doesn’t allow these scenes to sink in, either.
Reviewing a novelization is considerably different from reviewing an original story, though, even one that is part of a franchise. The novel cannot be judged on the strengths and weaknesses of the film—the plot, the world—but can contribute to characterizations or include deleted scenes. The reader’s prior knowledge of the characters can make scenes work or fail. I judged the novelization of The Force Awakens mostly on the prose itself and whether it further illuminated the characters, something it doesn’t necessarily have to do, but for which Matthew Stover’s Revenge of the Sith set a high bar.
Perhaps the book’s greatest weakness is its disinterest in explaining things that seemed to invite additions. We still don’t know who Finn’s fellow trooper is who dies early in the raid on Jakku. The young reader book Before the Awakening told the reader about the culture of the Teedo, the alien that catches BB-8 in a net, but the novelization doesn’t explain what Rey is saying when she speaks the Teedo’s language, even when the scene is in her perspective. She fares all right elsewhere, with an interesting brush with the Dark Side, but as a whole the book flits over its characters. Perspectives change abruptly, making it difficult to feel immersed in the world through the eyes of any particular character. If this is an intentional homage to the style of A New Hope, it’s endearing, but ultimately only hurts the book as a whole.
Kylo Ren fares decently enough. Added to his conflict in the script is a consistent hypocrisy. His childish actions are highlighted even further when he calls other people childish, and Rey’s first confrontation with Kylo is one of the more interesting departures from the movie. He’s interested in making her his apprentice from that very first moment, something we don’t quite see until the end of the film.
Poe and Finn are likewise characterized sparely but with moments of endearing clarity. They’re “astonished” and “overwhelmed” to see one another alive on D’Qar. Poe’s first confrontation with Kylo paints Poe as slightly different than in the movie, using his joking tone to disguise a keen mind for strategy. Meanwhile, Finn, who “had grown immune to compliments he didn’t think he deserved,” gains a bit of pathos.
One of the biggest revelations in the book comes from General Leia Organa, whose role is, as in the movie, mostly one of letting the people she presumably commands do their jobs. In what appears to be dialogue trimmed from the script, she explains that the First Order’s Supreme Leader Snoke has been watching her family for her son’s whole life, and that she never told Han about these sinister observations. She thought she could protect Han from the problem, but that didn’t work out well for the family.
The novel also tugs at the heartstrings when it notes that the Ileenium System is the second galactic disaster to unfold in front of Leia’s eyes because of the people she was fighting. An observation missing from the movie, her guilt and fear in that moment made for one of the strongest moments in the book. The scene of the firing of Starkiller Base benefits from the novel format in other ways, too. We learn that Leia’s aid Korr Sella was sent to the Senate to gain support from the New Republic, and that’s her that the camera zooms in on just before the planet’s destruction. It’s a brief point of view, but a useful one.
The workings of the Starkiller Base are described in great (if nonsensical) detail. Terms like “elysium” and “quintessence” join the list of Star Wars science-fantasy jargon.
The scenes that suffer the most, though, are the most important. The confrontation between Han and Kylo and the final lightsaber duel are both very quick, and, as in the movie, are driven quite a lot by history the audience doesn’t know: some of Kylo Ren’s backstory has to remain mysterious, but there’s an extraordinary lack of payoff in his pivotal confrontation. In both scenes, it appears that Foster worked mostly based on the script, not the choreography—understandable, as the choreography may not have been finished. However, with nothing to replace it, the fight scenes are short, their emotional peaks therefore abrupt instead of suspenseful.
Occasionally, the book captures the sparkle of Star Wars, the sense of living in a big, rather didactic legend. It zooms out to proclaim morals like “fighting and resistance, however, were two different things,” with varying degrees of success. Stripped of its visuals and the charisma of its actors, The Force Awakens is a drier script than it was a film. Foster is a legend in his own right, and I have no doubt that the book can capture the same magic for new Star Wars fans that the A New Hope novel did for me. As far as the original writing, there are better Star Wars books, in both the new and old canon. Check out The Force Awakens novelization if you’re interested in new information here and there, a word or phrase to assign to an already beloved character. If you want to fall in love with the Sequel Trilogy and learn more about the movie, the prequel book Before the Awakening is the better place to start.

Councillors agreed to support Wisbech Town FC at an extraordinary meeting last night (Monday) where Coun Billy Rackley made an impassioned plea on behalf of the club to help it "through hard times".
However, support for the donation towards the cost of rebuilding the stand destroyed by Storm Ciara, was not unanimous with Coun Dave Patrick arguing the council should not give money to "commercial" businesses.
