Up in the mountains not everyone is pleased to see the privileged admiral's son. Jealousy and ulterior motives turn the pleasant hunting trip into an ordeal. Lives are a stake. If Ashkar makes the wrong decision, he will be the first to die.
Greta van der Rol loves writing action-packed adventures with a side salad of romance. Most of her work is space opera, but she has written paranormal and historical fiction.
She lives not far from the coast in Queensland, Australia and enjoys photography and cooking when she isn't bent over the computer. She has a degree in history and a background in building information systems, both of which go a long way toward helping her in her writing endeavours.
Loved Deception even more than book number one, Conspiracy. Well-written, fast-paced, a story of substance. You’ll read this and its predecessor again and again.
I cannot recommend this book strongly enough. The author combined everything that is great about science fiction–space travel, “alien” species, politics, military engagements, technology–and everything that is great about romance–a strong, sexy hero and a strong, sexy heroine–into one absolutely breathtaking story.
Grand Admiral Chaka Saahren has the rewards of rank
…but he doesn’t have Systems Engineer Allysha Marten. Determined to keep her safe, Saahren will go to any lengths to win back the woman he loves. Allysha agrees to temporary employment by the Fleet, hoping to avoid at all costs the man she believes responsible for the death of innocent civilians, including her estranged father.
Sean O’Reilly has a plan…
…and it involves hijacking Allysha and convincing her, one way or another, to do just one more job—a job that would clear his debts and save his hide.
Allysha Marten must come to terms with her feelings…
…in the face of a reality that suggests she is a pawn in a growing power struggle, one where she will need all her skills and cunning to outwit a heinous plot that could result in the loss of billions of human lives.
When Allysha decides to tackle the conspirators on her own, she forces an impossible choice on… The Iron Admiral.
When Morgan Selwood’s spaceship is stranded in unknown space she is relieved to be rescued by humanoid aliens. But her unusual appearance and her extraordinary technical abilities mean that everybody wants a piece of her.
Who’s it to be? Autocratic Admiral Ravindra, who press-gangs her to help against a shadowy threat from the stars, or the freedom fighters who think she’s a legend reincarnated, returned to help them throw off the yoke of oppression?
Morgan doesn’t much care which it is until the uprising and the atrocities start. While civil war rages across the planet the shadowy threat from the stars emerges as an implacable killer bent on destroying all intelligent life. Morgan will need every bit of her superhuman, bio-engineered intelligence to save the man she has come to love and his people from annihilation. And spare a little to save herself.
Extended edition with new material.
This book is a science fiction romance. It contains coarse language and sex scenes
When Morgan Selwood and Admiral Ashkar Ravindra travel to Morgan’s Human Coalition to learn more about the origin of Ravindra’s people, their relationship is soon sorely tested. Morgan is amongst her own people and Ravindra is overprotective and insecure, afraid of losing her. But not everyone is keen to welcome Morgan home, not when they’d gone to all that trouble to get rid of her in the first place. Soon Morgan and Ravindra have a rogue Supertech on their trail with only one goal – kill Selwood.
Together, Morgan and Ravindra follow a tenuous trail back into humanity’s past, to the time historians call the Conflagration. But what begins as an innocent archaeological investigation escalates into a deadly peril for both humans and Manesai when Morgan and Ravindra are thrust into the middle of an unexpected conflict. And that rogue Supertech’s still out there, itching for revenge.


After 8 years of active driving of our shops 1957 Devin Ryan Special we decided it was time for a little restoration work.
First was to remove the engine, transmission and rear end for inspection.
Next came dis-assembly of bodywork to prepare for paint and fender modification.
Freshening Rear Differential
Rear Differential dis-assembly. Installing new bearings and rebuilding limited slip.
Spare Transmission Rebuild
Monterey Historics 2014, had a transmission failure. Put in our at the time spare transmission in, now we’re rebuilding the new “spare” Super T10 Transmission.
Got the car back from paint. Our paint guy is fixing a few minor issues at our shop while on the lift.
With our new bodywork and ride height we are having to relocate the pick up point of the 4-Link. Quicker and easier to move the frame ear, than to move the individual mount points.
Chassis Strengthen and Impact Protection
While we modified the rear suspension we decided to add chassis strengthening, which doubled as additional side impact protection.
Driveshaft Hoop Modification
The original driveshaft hoop was flat sheet metal material. By adding round tubing, not only did we add more protection in case of failure, but added more chassis rigidity.

Sam Loeb was seventeen years old when he passed away from a three-year battle with cancer last June, but he had already touched and inspired the lives of so many in such a short time. I've never had the pleasure of meeting him personally, but have heard so much about him that I feel like I already have.
And come this Thursday, many more will too when SUPERMAN/BATMAN #26 reaches stores featuring a story by Sam with a little help from his friends. 26 of them in fact, including Arthur Adams, John Cassaday, Joe Madureira and Jim Lee, just to name a few.
Each artist drew at least one page of this bittersweet issue and posted above, is Jim's pencil rough featuring the young World's Finest team flying high above the city. Check back throughout the rest of this week for more work-in-progress scans of this double-page spread too.

Simon Warwick Green, one of the most interesting and unusual artists I have ever worked with, is making a new film – Jelly Snakes. Simon’s films are like nothing else you’ve ever seen.
Jelly Snakes is one of eight projects selected from around the world by the prestigious Binger Writers and Producers FilmLab 2013 www.binger.nl
It’s a feature length comedy about a 16-year old Brian Eno enthusiast, who tries to escape his dysfunctional family life, by listening to Eno, making his ‘sound sculptures’ and attempting to seduce a 35-yr-old mother-of-two who lives next door.
Simon’s raising funds for the project on indiegogo, to find out more about the project and how to donate click here.
In addition to a credit and a preview screening he is thanking donors with limited edition prints, signed music videos and original artworks. Prints include a limited edition run of this film still photograph that I made for his film The Frozen Pond:

Underwriters say two of four bond series issued Monday were hard sells, with buyers least enthusiastic about the institutional stage of a bond issue by Koor Industries, an IDB Group company.
Capital market sources blame the low demand on IDB's practice of repeatedly expanding the same bond series, which creates surplus supply, and on the interest offered - 7.25% on bonds not linked to the Consumer Price Index.
Sources familiar with the issue said Koor has now set its sights on the public tender, but capital market players voiced doubts about the tender's success.
"Nochi Danker does not come to the market for NIS 150 million," said one source. "This is a failure. He will apparently have to issue now via the mother company, IDB."
A Delek Group bond issue is also at the institutional stage, and demand for those bonds was much higher, totaling NIS 350 million for two bond series. Even so, source close to this issue admitted it had been "tough going."
Demand was only slightly higher than supply, and the price expected to be set for both series will not be much above the minimum.
In the next few days the identities of the institutional investors who purchased the bonds will be publicized, and market sources figure many of these investors will likely be affiliated with the Delek Group - such as the Excellence Nessuah investment house.
Sources at Delek were actually pleased with the issue's results, and noted that all in all the surplus demand and the closing prices were reasonable. Delek Group sources also disclosed that the Phoenix insurance group did not order any bonds, and Excellence ordered just NIS 10 million worth.
The other two bond issues finished with much better results: Union Bank successfully completed its round of financing, and Ilan Ben-Dov managed to raise NIS 550 million in the public stage of Scailex's bond issue.
The Scailex bond issue, however, cannot be compared to the other three. While the other issues were conducted with no securities, Scailex's bonds are backed by shares in Partner Telecommunications. Hence the strong demand for those bonds.
"Scailex's bonds are attractive, thanks to the Partner shares," says a source in the underwriting market.
Union Bank raised NIS 380 million on its bond issue, which attracted NIS 800 million in demand.
A few insiders in the Israeli bond issue market viewed Monday's difficulties as an indicator that the Israeli market cannot absorb all the debt that companies are trying to cover by issuing bonds.
"The party's over," said an executive at one of the investment houses. "We won't see many issues with variable shekel interest - that market has completely collapsed, because the issues undertaken in the past few weeks are trading on the bourse below their issue price. Everything is going to be much more difficult."

Home Cook: Chicken that's fast, fried and tastes of home
Keep the seasoning simple when making fried chicken at home.
I rarely eat meat, so when I do I like it to be special – a slow cooked stew using beef shin that melts into a rich ginger and soy sauce, or a pork chop that’s been stuffed with a bramley and thyme crumb and seasoned to perfection. This spicy buttermilk fried chicken recipe is one such dish.
Fried chicken is often associated with fast food, it conjures up images of ‘snack boxes’...

We are a group of two musicians and one artist gathered with common interests and goals in Boston, MA in 2017.
While observing various social phenomena occurring in our local and global communities, we wondered if there was anything we could do as artists. A fun idea soon became a reality. We established this foundation in desire of becoming a bridge to help connect people to the society through art, which has a strength to raise awareness and facilitate change, by reflecting the issues of our current time.
In 2017-2018, the three of us hosted various events and concerts that successfully combined visual art and instrumental (jazz and classical) music in Boston. Now that the three of us are scattered all over the world - in Boston, Dallas, and Seoul - we plan to actively utilize the virtual world and social media to bring small pieces of hope to those who are in need more closely than ever.

Crime, courts and legal issues in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin
Jeweler claims NBA star owes $74,000 for custom bling
This weekend's NBA All-Star game in Los Angeles is sure to be a glitzy affair, but Eastern squad reserve and five-time All-Star Joe Johnson of Atlanta should fit right in if he's wearing his Milwaukee metal.
Last year, Johnson ordered nearly $75,000 worth of custom jewelry from Pak's Jewelers, in downtown Milwaukee, according to a lawsuit the store filed against the Hawks guard.
According to the complaint, Johnson ordered pieces in July and October, and, though Pak's supplied the goods, Johnson never paid any of the $74,389.20 balance, and has refused a demand for payment.
According to invoices attached to the complaint, Johnson ordered:
- A 14 karat white gold rosary necklace, with 60 carat total weight enhanced black diamonds, for $29,980
- A custom diamond Breitling Super Avenger watch, with black PVD coating, for $15,800
- A black-coated stainless steel diamond bracelet for $7,500
- A custom 18K yellow gold diamond grill, with enhanced yellow diamonds, for $4902
- A macrame bracelet for $2,600 and bracelet for $1,800
- An eight-piece diamond grill (bottom) for $5,900
If you're doing the math, it's not clear why balance exceeds the listed items' total cost. Neither Pak's nor its attorney returned messages.
An e-mail to Johnson's agent also went unreturned.

Coronation and Investec expect mine cutbacks to boost prices.
by Eddie van der Walt, Kevin Crowley and Colin McClelland, Bloomberg
Two of South Africa’s biggest fund managers are going against the tide in the platinum market by betting on higher prices.
The metal fell into a bear market this month and US money managers have cut bullish bets for ten straight weeks, the longest stretch in at least a decade. That hasn’t dented Coronation Asset Management and Investec Asset Management’s view that a long-term supply crunch in South Africa, which produces 70% the world’s platinum, will boost prices.

Ripe Banana Powder
From: $6.55 / month
Ultra-Pure Single Ingredient
Banana is believed to heal lesions in the intestine. It is like the chicken soup of fruit. A well-rounded meal in itself banana is one of the best sources of potassium, an essential mineral for maintaining normal blood pressure and heart function. It is the perfect lunch food since it won’t make you feel heavy. Bananas also contain a small amount of tryptophan which helps regulate sleep, reducing insomnia.
Product Size Chart
5 grams serving size, approximately 1 spoon. Click to enlarge.
The difference between ripe banana powder and banana flour is that banana flour is made with bananas that have not ripened. They are green when converted into powder and therefore they carry less taste. Our banana powder is made using ripe bananas which offer a pleasing flavor. For meal replacement start with banana drink mix powder, and add a little protein and maybe a touch of blueberry, cocoa, peanut butter or mango. But really, explorers don’t read the instructions, just go out and try new stuff. Mix responsibly!

He watches out for Lennie and works with him side by side. The book Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, was written in 1937. George- A small man who travels with, and takes care of, Lennie. In his attempt to silence her, he accidentally breaks her neck. Their farm animals would include rabbits for Lennie to. Candy- An aging ranch handyman, Candy lost his hand in an accident and worries about his future on the ranch. Those who have performed are many thus Betty Field, Eugene Solow and many more.
Steinbeck has a lot of. The two characters have a unique relationship. Certainly Lennie's character is portrayed as marginal due to his mental disability and Candy's advanced age and his missing. We will be our own bosses and do what we want to do. He is isolated from the other men because of the color of his skin.
Although this world is not a place where paradise and freedom exists, we can still live to our fullest. For example, this girl thought Lennie was trying to rape her when he was really just feeling her dress since he liked the material. Task: Of mice and men The play has always done well since it won the New York drama as the top American contribution to the 1937-38 seasons according to the New York Times Nuget. During this period, many people had suffered as they found trouble and. Lennie tells her that he loves petting soft things, and she offers to let him feel her hair. George's behavior is motivated by the desire to protect Lennie and, eventually, he wants to lead them both to the farm of their dreams.
Lennie — the loyal friend of George. Soon, George and Lennie meet Slim, the skilled mule driver, and has great authority on the ranch. Lots of farm workers would share the dream of all one day owning some land of their own. In the end, Lennie never overcomes this conflict, and dies by getting shot. Because of his mild mental disability, Lennie completely depends on George, his friend and traveling companion, for guidance and protection. Jones notices that the boy most likely had no one around to buy food or buy him clothes so she shows sympenthy by helping him out.
He was constantly fighting with Lennie because he was intimidated by him. Lennie- George had to look out for Lennie, because of his mental disability. He watches out for Lennie and works with him side by side. When the other men arrive, George lets them believe that Lennie had the gun, and George wrestled it away from him and shot him. Lennie is the opposite of George in every physical way. George is filled with determination and confidence while Lennie is a simple man with a big heart. She uses her power to flirt with other ranch hands to make her husband jealous even though she was in ingenuous person.
Jones similarties they have very important diffrences. Although, now that she's married to Curley she has no power over her life and Curley decides what she does. Unfortunately, simple-minded Lennie manages to get them in trouble before their dream; their wish for a life is fulfilled. Overall George is a loyal friend to Lennie and dealt with Lennie no matter what, even when I came to the end George only did what he felt was right for Lennie. When Lennie talks to Crooks, Crooks gets very upset and gives him a little persuasion. Lennie later on feels her hair and starts to grab on it very tightly. Download file to see next pages Read More.
Lennie and George, the protagonists, are looking for ranch work in Northern California. Of Mice and Men Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is believed to be one of the ic novels written in the twentieth century. Together George and Lennie have a very entertaining relation as I stated previously. Where they share the dreams they develop a bond of sympathy and companionship as is the case with Lennie and George. Candy and his old dog are not the most important characters in the novel, but yet the relationship they hold is key. Within this context, the film Of Mice and Men, released in the year 1939, is noteworthy because the director Lewis Milestone deals with the theme of human relationships and tragedy from a different angle of view. Crooks has a fantasy of hoeing a patch of garden on Lennie's farm one day, and Candy dreams heavily of George's vision of owning a couple of acres.
Steinbeck does this to symbolise that the inhabitants had to cope with the depressing reality of the effects of the Great Depression as they were living in it. His authority was so great that his word was taken on any subject, be it politics or love. Some of the characters in this novel, such as Lennie, Crooks, and Curley s wife, epitomize loneliness. After that, they hitchhiked all the way to Salinas Valley, California where the story continues. In contrast, lennie also had diffrences from Mrs. Even though Lennie died, at least while he was alive, he had someone who cared about him.

One way is steering top, but the other way im not catching the line. What config i must chang?
Seems strange. Try opening the steering chart and post a video of driving both ways. Also open the valve/motor settings and video the WAS gauge while turning from left lock to right lock.
Your was is not setup right. Do it again.
Zero was then drive in circle and set CPD and ackermann settings.
Or use an app and measure max steering angle of your tractor and set CPD and ackermann to that value. You can find the guide on how to do that on a forum @PotatoFarmer posted it.
For example mine is 40 degrees
It’s your WAS. I had this happen this weekend, my WAS isn’t the most rigid setup… think Red Green and lots of ductape. So over time it moves a bit, found my unit was drifting to the left a fair bit. You can either constantly reset it to zero, ( for me it was every 10-15 passes) or you can use the slider to offset it. I found you want the green indicator bar to bounce from left to right, if you find its sticking to one side or the other, then you need to adjust your 0.
What app you use?


The Presidential campaign was a disorganized disaster. Sound systems failed, planes ran late, arrangements fell through. Most of the time, candidate Daniel Soltero's handlers couldn't "handle" anything. And their biggest problem was Soltero himself: a hot-headed taker of risks, seemingly determined to destroy not only his campaign schedule but any chance of winning the presidential primaries. all on live TV! Veteran network correspondent Axel Tyson has his own troubles. Late one night, his daughter is raped. Rushing her to the hospital, he wrecks the car, adding to her injuries. Since his own feelings of guilt and depression are making it harder for her to recover, he agrees to join the Soltero campaign press corps. It's a distraction, to get him out of Washington. Within 48 hours he has killed another rapist, with his bare hands.

1. You Can Totally Make It Yourself
Ghee is butter, simmered. It’s easy to make. It’s also easy to burn. Keep an eye on the pot. As it simmers, the butter’s milk solids separate from the oil while evaporating out water. After about 15 minutes, spoon out the milk solids. What’s left is ghee: a clear-golden cooking oil with a high smoke point, long shelf life, and fancy reputation.
2. Lactose Intolerant People Eat Ghee (So Do Paleos and Whole 30s)
Because ghee is clarified, it’s both casein and lactose-free. People who are officially lactose intolerant (or lactose-free) eat it and digest it. Most ghee recipes instruct discarding the milk solids. Seriously? Discard organic, grass-fed milk solids? If you or some one you live with isn’t lactose-averse, keep them. Sprinkle them on a salad, toss them in a smoothie, or spread them on toast. Because salty, creamy, crunchy milk solids belong on really tangy sourdough or a crusty baguette.
3. Ghee Has a High Smoke Point
Because there’s no water in ghee (remember, it evaporated when the butter simmered), ghee has a higher smoke point than butter, about 465º F compared to butter’s 350º F. It cooks without sputtering, smoking or burning, making it friendly for grilled cheese, chilaquiles, breakfast potatoes, and more.
4. Ghee Is Extremely Shelf Stable
Because there is no water in ghee, bacteria won’t grow there, so you can skip refrigeration. Ghee travels well: Take it camping or off the grid. To keep ghee shelf stable be sure your jar of ghee remains both water and steam-free; don’t place it right next to the steaming stovetop. If your ghee gets tainted with water or food, then refrigerate; it’ll be fine for future use.
5. Ghee Can Be Really Expensive
Yes, good ghee—the organic, grass-fed kind—costs about four times as much as butter per ounce. If you’re trying ghee for the first time and you don’t think it’s worth the splurge, see #1: Make your own. To get a worthy yield, start with at least a pound of unsalted butter.
6. Ghee Has a Long and Illustrious History
Ghee has been used in India for thousands of years in daily home cooking and medicine. Ancient (and modern) Yogis choose ghee for its anti-inflammatory, digestive, and peace-promoting attributes. Ayurveda recommends roasting cooking spices in ghee to make them not only more flavorful but also more active, nutritionally.
7. Ghee Is Incredibly Versatile
Along with its buttery taste, ghee has a distinct roasted, nutty, fragrance. It’s an easy, tasty swap for butter or olive oil in the sauté pan; try ghee for frying eggs and bread, tart rye crepes, or zucchini fritters. And because ghee is pure oil that melts easily, it’s perfect for spiced and flavored butters, whether you’re dipping summer lobster, smothering fruity pancakes, or spooning on oatmeal. Obsessed with turmeric lattes? Your bedtime cup is about to get real—milk, turmeric, cardamom, saffron, a touch of sweet and a dollop of ghee. This is the stuff that dreams are made of.

Reading ‘Agnes Grey’ brought with it the memories of reading ‘Jane Eyre’. And, it is an irony that ‘Agnes Grey’ was written a year before ‘Jane Eyre’; though published around the same time in the year 1847, the latter became a more popular Classic.
Perhaps the Cinderella twist in ‘Jane Eyre’, Mr.Rochester riding on a horse sweeping the dreamy heroine off her feet held a greater appeal. There are many parallels between the two narratives, both chronicle the story of a young and poor Governess, not befitting the societal notions of beauty and moralistically headstrong. Anne Bronte addresses ‘the reader’ just like Charlotte Bronte.
“I began this book with the intention of concealing nothing; that those who liked might have the benefit of perusing a fellowcreature’s heart: but we have some thoughts that all the angels in heaven are welcome to behold, but not our brother-men—not even the best and kindest amongst them.”
Agnes is the younger of the two daughters in the Grey family. Her mother was ousted from the family’s wealth for marrying a poor clergyman. However, Mrs.Grey is happy in her humble abode teaching her two girls to be industrious and morally right. Mr. Grey lacks financial inklings and further plunges in debt after a bad investment decision. As Mr.Grey’s health condition deteriorates, Agnes’ elder sister Mary decides to sell her paintings to support the family. As her part, Agnes thinks of becoming a Governess even though she had been the pet of the family, treated almost like a fifteen-year-old at the age of nineteen.
Nonetheless, Agnes decides to prove her mettle and is placed with the Bloomfield household through a family friend. Her first work expedition turns out nothing like what she had anticipated. The Bloomfields are mean and arrogant and this becomes Agnes’s first brush with the outer world and the shattering of her naïve optimism.
Agnes is relieved of her position from the Bloomfield family in less than a year. On her return, Agnes is keen to take up another position as a Governess and advertises for it, this time Agnes and her mother finalize the Murrays after much deliberation. In the Murray household, the elder two boys have left for school and Agnes is responsible for educating the two girls – Matilda and Rosalie. Agnes and her mother feel that these girls being about the age of sixteen would be easier to handle and educate. However, the unfortunate luck follows Agnes as she once again faces a mean and conniving wealthy household.
But, it is during this stay at the Murray household that Agnes meets Mr.Weston, the Parson at the Church and is in love.
“The gross vapours of earth were gathering around me, and closing in upon my inward heaven; and thus it was that Mr.Weston rose length upon me, appearing like the morning star in my horizon, to save me from the fear of utter darkness; and I rejoiced that I had now a subject for contemplation that was above me, not beneath. I was glad to see that al the world was not made up of Bloomfields, Murrays, Hatfields, Ashbys & c.; and that human excellence was not a mere dream of the imagination.”
Through the ordeal of handling the Murray girls and realizing her dreams of becoming an independent woman, Agnes opens her heart to the readers.
The Theme of a Plain, Poor and an Independent Woman
Agnes Grey is plain and poor. There is a chapter titled ‘Confessions’ where Anne Bronte tells how a young girl is drawn towards a little bird feeling it to be helpless and harmless. Can she be drawn to a toad, likewise, which is also small, helpless, and harmless? In our society, a woman is judged based on her physical attributes; there is an instinctive dislike for the one ‘unfavoured by nature’. If the qualities of a woman outweigh her looks then the recognition of it is limited to her immediate connections. Probably this was the bitter truth Anne Bronte, herself, was dealing with, the lack of acceptance by the society for her prolific writing skills.
At the age of nineteen, Agnes is financially independent in the times when opportunities for women were limited. Agnes has two experiences to share – the Bloomfield family and the Murray family. At Bloomfield family, Agnes deals with younger children and at the Murray household, she has grown-up girls. It is open upon us as readers to judge whether she succeeded as a Governess or not? The stumbling blocks in her way were far too heavy to have overcome. But I think the olive branch here would be Rosalie’s letter to Agnes for wanting her company on return to Ashby Park post her marriage to Mr.Ashby.
The Motif of Cruelty to Animals
At the Bloomfield household, Agnes is responsible for the seven-year-old Tom and four-year-old Mary. Agnes is terrified to know Tom finds amusement in torturing small animals and birds. At such a young age, he sets up traps for sparrows, mice, and rats in the garden, destroys bird nests and isn’t reproached by his family members for this hideous act. On the contrary, Tom’s father and Uncle encourage and laugh at these actions and his mother doesn’t care for such things.
Agnes is not allowed to reprimand the children on any account so she is not able to change in their behaviour. I think these horrendous acts on small living creatures stand as a metaphor for the rich exploiting and crushing the weaker, vulnerable sections of the society.
Agnes Grey’s yearning to go back to her family and friends
Agnes has immense love and respect for her family; she awaits their letters during her stay as the Governess at wealthy households. Anne Bronte pitches the Grey family, poor and loving against the rich, conceited, and stony Bloomfield and Murray families.
The Murray sisters torment Agnes with their nonsensical chatter, insensitive remarks on poverty, and lack of refined living. Agnes’ solace in this difficult situation is the letters written by Mary and her mother that seem utterly boring to Rosalie. Agnes can never voice her opinion that the qualities of education, creativity, hard work, and family ties are enough to dwarf Rosalie’s skill set of malicious flirtations and wealth.
Good triumphs in the end?
Agnes Grey is rewarded for her hardships with the love of Mr.Weston, the not so handsome but benevolent clergyman. Rosaline is married too but her marriage to the wealthy man has only resulted in a caged, dependent life.
The Bloomfields’ household isn’t mentioned after Agnes’ departs from there.
After Agnes’ father dies, her mother plans to start a school. Agnes finally finds happiness in being industrious in shaping young children at this school, quite similar to Jo’s contentment in the end in ‘Little Women’.
Comparing Agnes Grey to Jane Eyre
‘Jane Eyre’ stands taller than ‘Agnes Grey‘ in its complex plot. ‘Agnes Grey’ to a great extent seems like the first draft to ‘Jane Eyre’, more autobiographical sans the adornments.
Agnes has a loving home and Jane Eyre, as an orphan, readily takes the sympathy of the readers. Surely, Agnes contributes towards the financial necessities of her family and become an independent woman. Where it deviates from ‘Jane Eyre’ is in the continuous dissatisfaction brewing inside Agnes Grey in both her employments. The book chronicles how the rich employers literally enslave a Governess to do many other chores, not just limited to educating the children at their home. There is bitterness in Agnes seeing children growing up devoid of any values of empathy or human emotion in rich, prosperous homes.
Agnes is a subdued character, benevolent and the one who braves it all to become independent. The world isn’t nice to her; she is at the receiving end of worst possible behaviour from her employers and even Mr.Weston is not the proverbial ‘knight in shining armour’.
Recently, I wrote a piece on ‘The Girl with the Blackened Eye’, the short story by Joyce Carol Oates…it is a featured post on ‘Women’s Web magazine’. I will be glad if you drop by and share your thoughts on ‘Joyce Carol Oates’ Story ‘The Girl With The Blackened Eye’ Fills You With Terror And Leaves You Angry At The Same Time!


Replacing peaker plants has been one of the holy grails of battery storage since AES Energy Storage put its first small 1MW and 2MW projects on the grid to perform frequency regulation over seven years ago. In 2014, when the company launched its new Advancion energy storage system, with a 100 MW Li-on battery array, that moment finally arrived.
“We’re competitive with power plants, Chris Shelton, president of Arlington, Virginia-based AES’s energy storage unit, told Bloomberg, noting that Advancion's $1,000 a kilowatt cost easily beat out new gas peaker plants by at least $350 a kilowatt. AES has been innovating and building up to this for several years. At the time of the launch, it managed the largest fleet of grid batteries in commercial service, with more than 200 megawatts in operation and construction, and more than 1 gigawatt in development.
A $30 billion market
Why are peaker plants such easy prey? They're fueled by natural gas, more costly to build, and often operate only a few hours a year. So storing power when its off-peak and cheap and feeding it back to the grid during high demand helps to make the batteries cheaper. Since Advancion is capable of discharging for four hours, and peaker plants also tend to fire for four hours or less a day when ramped up, “people are really seeing that this could be part of future planning for the utility sector.” Shelton added.
To put Advancion in perspective, around 30 gigawatts of peak capacity are added around the world each year to keep up with population growth and new demand. At an average cost of $1 million per megawatt for a gas-fired plant, AES Energy Storage can now attack a $30 billion annual global market. Projected coal plant closures will speed up openings for Advancion, which was developed to replace older fossil plants in city load pockets. Since these are often found in inner cities and add to air emissions problems, substituting zero-emissions energy storage is a no-brainer.
Peak power substitution makes even more sense in overseas markets, according to Greentech Media, where electricity demand is growing faster and the cost of natural gas is higher than in North America. AES Energy Storage can reach overseas markets through its deep-pocketed utility parent. Already the leader in frequency regulation, the peak power substitution market is 20 to 40 times larger.
Advancion's first customer
Last November in a potential turning point, Southern California Edison revealed a 250-megawatt energy storage procurement, setting a new standard for integrating distributed and customer-owned energy into grid operations. Along with the shakeup in the way utilities deploy various energy assets, SCE contracted AES Energy Storage to build a 100-megawatt “in-front-of-meter” battery system - the world's largest electrochemical battery - in its West Los Angeles Basin region.
SCE is trying to replace the power lost from the retired San Onofre nuclear power station, as well as several old natural gas plants. Originally the utility had decided to procure only 50MW of storage but went for 261MW instead.
Greentech Media spoke with John Zahurancik, VP of AES Energy Storage, who said, "It is truly a modernization of the power system - the new state of the art." He added, "Energy storage can be smaller - with an architecture to take advantage of the modularity of batteries. One advantage is that you have a massively parallel array, which gives a high level of reliability and design advantage and a common set of controls."
With no air emissions, no waste stream, and no fuel supply requirements, typical permitting and construction can occur in a year, while fossil power plants might take 3-5 years at the same location. Advancion can be installed in locations near the load they serve. Very few peaking power plants could offer so many benefits.
Advancion still has to prove its Li-ion batteries are capable of the long haul, coping with possible capacity fade over a 20 year power purchase agreement. While lithium-ion may be the preferred mass-market battery, there’s a need for batteries that can do something Li-ion struggles to do: storing or releasing energy for at least four hours at a time.
This year significant competitors have popped up, from flow batteries from Imergy and EnerVault, CellCube-American Vanadium and ViZn Energy, to sodium-ion batteries from Aquion and liquid metal batteries from Ambri. And surprising everyone, former European stealth startup Alevo invested $1 billion to build a US plant to roll out its inorganic lithium-ion battery.


24-Mar-2021 Source: NBAA
NBAA has joined with five general aviation associations in opposition to two New York City bills that would severely restrict helicopter operations in the city.
Following a hearing before the City Council Committee on Economic Development, the general aviation advocacy groups sent a letter setting out their opposition to the two bills, while also expressing support for a third proposal that would promote the use of electric rotorcraft by New York City government officials.
“Helicopters play a critical role in business aviation, and NBAA has long fought to protect access for all operators,” said Christa Lucas, NBAA senior vice president of government affairs. “We also strongly support innovation and technology developments in our industry.”
The letter emphasized that the city does not have jurisdiction to impose the restrictions set forth in the two bills. The proposals are preempted by federal law, with only the FAA having the ability to regulate aviation over the city, and the terms of access to public heliports.
Bill No. 2026 would prohibit operations at those heliports by most charter (Part 135) operations if the helicopters are certified under Stage 1 or Stage 2 noise standards. Military and police operations – as well as selective charter operations, such as news reporting and medevac – would be exempt.
Tom McCormick, a Part 91 helicopter pilot and chairman of the Eastern Region Helicopter Council (ERHC), explained that one flaw in the bill is that “very few helicopters are actually certified under Stage 3, however a number of Stage 2-rated helicopters flying today are just as quiet, and could meet Stage 3 noise certification requirements.”
Bill No. 2067 would require the operators of the city’s heliports to collect documentation from every helicopter that takes off or lands at its facility, including its airworthiness certificate, registration, inspection report, the route flown to arrive at the landing site and the planned route of departure. The FAA already closely regulates helicopter operations and prohibits municipalities from burdening them with documentation or other requirements that are additional to – or even merely duplicative of – federal standards.
The coalition letter clarifies that Congress passed legislation specifically intended to thwart exactly this sort of local interference with operations already regulated at the federal level by the FAA.
“In 1990, Congress adopted the Airport Noise and Capacity Act … with the specific purpose of preventing the adoption of local restrictions – including but not limited to noise-based restrictions – on aircraft operations at public airports,” the letter states. “The signatories respectfully posit that bills No. 2026 and No. 2067 would impose noise and access restrictions in a manner that is flatly inconsistent with ANCA.”
McCormick estimated that passing these two bills could affect as many as 80% of NYC helicopter operations based on pre-COVID numbers, further hobbling the local economy at a time when economic activity, like moving people and commerce and preserving small businesses, should be encouraged.
“I look forward to working with the council and industry to bring cleaner, quieter aircraft to the market. New York has supported its heliports since 1956,” said McCormick, who grew up in the New York area and spent much of his flying career there. “I want to see NYC maintain its economic advantage. You can’t do that without aviation.”

Setting the record straight
What Team Jindal said: "Thereís no cut [to the colleges]. Theyíre fully funded," the governorís chief of staff, Stephen Waguespack, saidÖ." Baton Rouge Advocate February 9, 2012.
The Facts: College funding was reduced in Bobby Jindalís budget that was presented to the leges on February 9, 2012. In claiming the colleges are fully funded, his budget assumes facts not in evidence.
The difference between what the colleges received this year and what they will receive in the upcoming fiscal year requires the colleges to increase taxes on the students and their families.
In other words, if the college boards do not raise tuition or fees, they will have less state money to spend in the coming year than they currently have.
To paraphrase Edmund Burke: I do not impute falsehood to Team Jindal, but there has been a considerable economy of truth.
Jindal plan creates uproar
Many public employees and leges in Louisiana are in an uproar over the "Roads Scholarís" plan to increase the employee contribution to the stateís pension plan.
The taxpayers already pony up a significant contribution on behalf of the state and local employees.
When a similar increase in pension contribution last came before the House of Representatives it was shot down by a ruling from then-Speaker Jim Tucker.
Tucker declared the increase a "tax" and thus required by the state constitution to have a 2/3ís vote of both the lege bodies in order to pass.
There has been recent speculation that new Speaker Chuck Kleckley will rule that the contribution increase is not a tax or fee and only requires a majority vote.
Frankly, I donít know what the contribution increase is, but it should not be a matter of conjecture or political rhetoric.
The definition of what the increase in contribution is of great importance to everyone in Louisiana.
If it is raised it will mean more money is taken from the public employees paychecks. If it is not raised it means all of the citizens in Louisiana will have less of the essential government services or higher taxes.
The leges need to ask their excellent staff to thoroughly research the matter and give them, their fellow public employees and the citizens of Louisiana an answer.
The staffís conclusion doesnít mean that the leges will follow the law. They often donít.
Itís simply time for all of us to get an answer.

Lactalis has entered into an agreement to acquire U.S.-based Icelandic-style yogurt manufacturer siggi’s for an undisclosed sum.
“We are delighted to welcome siggi's to the Lactalis Group, which further expands our yogurt platform in the U.S. with this unique and fast-growing yogurt brand,” said Emmanuel Besnier, President of the Lactalis Group, in a joint press release. “We look forward to supporting siggi's as it continues to bring its retail partners exceptional dollar growth in the yogurt category.”
Under the terms of the deal, siggi's will continue operating out of its New York City office and will remain a standalone company under its current senior leadership team, including Founder and CEO Siggi Hilmarsson and Bart Adlam as President.
“We're excited to join the Lactalis family, which offers the opportunity to further fuel our growth,” said Hilmarsson. “Our core values of clean ingredient label and less sugar will remain 100 percent unchanged. Consumers everywhere are actively trying to reduce sugar in their diets, so our offering has a global relevance.”
According to the companies’ press release, Hilmarsson founded siggi’s after moving to the U.S. from his native Iceland and finding American yogurt too sweet and full of extra ingredients. With seed investment from his former professor, Siggi started selling his yogurt at an outdoor market in downtown Manhattan in 2006, using a recipe based on skyr—the Icelandic style yogurt Siggi grew up eating. In the ensuing decade and change siggi's has reportedly gone on to be a top five selling yogurt brand in many mainstream grocery chains including Stop & Shop, Meijer, and Publix, and siggi’s recently became the #1 selling yogurt brand overall in Whole Foods Markets.
"siggi's topline grew 50 percent in 2017 and we expect to match this in 2018 as we launch further innovations,” Adlam added. “We are excited to keep the momentum going with support from the largest dairy player in the world.”

ODESSA - Bankruptcy is an ugly word. But in this case, it's a means to keep the doors open on a company that's been around for years.
Jo Hooker, the Owner of Odessa Dealership, says it's going to be business as usual at Freedom, Pontiac, Buick, GMC Truck.
The fact that gm has asked the government to help out means that dealers across the country can keep doing what they've been doing since they opened their doors.
While it may mean an increase in taxes, Hooker says, she's a taxpayer first, but she's also a business person.
"As a dealer, I'm fine with that. If it helps me move on with my business and continue to participate in my community and continue to employ people, that's a win-win for me," Hooker said.
The bankruptcy protection will ensure that anyone who buys or owns a car made or sold by General Motors will continue to be serviced and warranties will be honored, just like before.

Ukrainian anti-corruption detectives on November 12 have detained the head of one of the main departments at the presidential office for allegedly demanding a $300,000 bribe, the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP) said on Facebook.
The official was arrested while taking half the amount from an individual as payment for assistance in getting a person appointed to a management position at the state-run Naftogaz oil and gas conglomerate.
SAP would only say the suspect is a woman and didn’t name the presidential department where she works.
A former deputy culture minister was also detained along with an unspecified number of other suspects that SAP alleged constituted an “organized crime group.”
The presidential office on Facebook also didn’t name the principal suspect and the department.
“This person has worked in various departments of the presidential administration since 2005,” the presidential office said. “There is no ‘us’ and ‘them’ for the head of state. Corruption must be uprooted: the higher the position of the corrupt individual, the more dangerous are their abusive practices toward the state.”
Ukrainian Detectives Detain Bribery Suspect In Presidential Office


A 16-year-old girl said she was raped hundreds of times by hundreds of men in the last six months, prompting the arrest of at least seven males in western India.
According to CWC chairman Abhay Vitthalrao Vanave, the girl, who was homeless, told India’s Child Welfare Committee (CWC) on November 11 that she was raped by 400 individuals in Maharashtra’s Beed district.
The minor also mentioned two police officers in her complaint.
Three males allegedly pushed the girl into sex labor while she was begging for money at a bus stop.
While authorities may find it difficult to determine or establish the number of alleged rapists, the girl could identify at least 25 suspected assailants.
While authorities may find it difficult to determine or establish the number of accused rapists, Vanave believes the girl may identify at least 25 of them.
According to Vanave, the girl attempted to file a police complaint against a guy she accused of assaulting her, but cops failed to register it.
The agency stated in a statement Monday, November 15, that it had filed charges against eight guys, including one minor, for rape and violating the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses Act, which carries harsher penalties and longer prison sentences.
They’ve also filed a complaint under the Child Marriage Prohibition Act.
According to the police statement, the girl also informed authorities she was married off at the age of 13 to a 33-year-old man who sexually abused her.
She also informed police that her father had sexually molested her, forcing her to flee both homes and sleep at a bus stop.
Yogita Bhayana, a women’s rights activist, called it “the most sad (rape) case in history.”
She said that this girl was tortured every day and that the police had failed to protect her. We demand that all of the perpetrators be held accountable.
In India, the National Crime Records Bureau reported more than 28,000 cases of alleged rape against women in 2020, one every 18 minutes.
Experts believe the real number is much higher as many go unreported out of fear.
In September this year, police arrested 33 men for the alleged gang rape of a 15-year-old girl in Maharashtra.

I remember a time in my life that I used to think to myself "I'll sleep when I'm dead," because I had so much schoolwork and constant extracurricular activities to do. (While being an IB high school student was intellectually fulfilling, it was not the most well time in my life--though it did provide a needed escape from a difficult family dynamic and was probably adaptive at the time.)
Fortunately, over time I've come to embrace sleep as a foundational part of my wellness routine. In graduate school I set myself a rule of getting 8 hours each night, because I discovered how much better I could serve my clients when I was properly rested. While maybe it was usually closer to 7 and a half, I found that that amount of sleep really made a difference for my life and work. When things became stressful, particularly as a PhD student, I had to get more intentional to maintain good sleep so I developed a routine for better sleep.
Today's post is just a chance for me to share my favorite sleep hygiene tips that have helped me through grad school and the busy mind of PhD work.

text: Terry Tempest Williams’ book The Open Space of Democracy was an excellent read. It portrayed the great divide that shotty politics has driven the U.S. into. It also reveals how just ordinary people can still change the world by focusing on taking care of home. Her writing was bold and from the heart. This was a short, yet inspiring read that I will forever keep on my bookshelf!
