Our Shakespeare Drama Festival Buzzing The corridors and classes of Emmer Green have been filled with excited chatter about star-crossed lovers, mischievous fairies and wicked witches as our Shakespeare Festival started on Monday 6th July. Thanks to a generous contribution by the PTFA, we were able to invite the Young Shakespeare Company in for a week long residency. They have been working with Years 2-5, bringing them into the magical world of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
day afternoon. Our youngest pupils have not missed out on professional input either as the ‘Shakespeare4kidz’ group visited Foundation and Year 1 on Monday 16th July. The classes were treated to an interactive retelling of A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, told in simpler but no less effective way.
Years Two, Three and Four have been taking part in two hour workshops in which the intricate story is explored through storytelling, prediction, mime, improvisation and song.
Although the original language of Shakespeare is challenging, the stories that he told are still appealing and engaging for children and, if told in an accessible way, can be enjoyed by even the youngest of audiences. From the naughty fairies and tragic Juliet, to the tortured Hamlet and sword slashing Macbeth, the plots of the plays certainly give modern cinema blockbusters a run for their money!
“When the Shakespeare festival was first planned, I had reservations as this is a difficult topic. However, in terms of language, understanding and sheer enthusiasm, the children have far exceeded my expectations. The whole festival has been a real success!” enthused Mrs Crossman. Hopefully, Emmer Green Primary will see more of the Bard in years to come...
Meanwhile, Year 5 have worked more intensively with the actors and their dramatic effort was showcased in a brilliant performance to their parents on Thurs-

The whole Shakespeare experience has been richly rewarding for pupils and teachers alike and the high quality of artwork and literacy inspired by his plays has been amazing.
A r t Miss Rogers set a challenge for our Art competition this year as pupils were asked to create either a picture or a 3D model of Shakespeare or one of his characters. The entries were beautifully varied and have been on display in the entrance hall. Well done to all of the entrants!
C o m p e t i t i o n The lucky winners were: Foundation: Ye Shan Infants: Joseph (1EW) Juniors: Tara (3LB) Special Prize: Sophia A
P a g e
F o u n d a t i o n Age is no barrier to learning Shakespeare’s stories, as our littlest ones have joined in the fun too! Over in the three Foundation classrooms, the children have been making wedding invitations for the characters and writing potions. They even had a go and making some potions, using glitter, food colouring and all sorts! Exploring the complex subplots of A Midsummer
Night’s Dream has been made easier by the purchase of software from the Early Shakespeare company. The story has been animated and is clearly narrated by a cartoon of Shakespeare, with selected lines of the original script. Have a look yourself at wwwearlyshakespeare.com

“A huge thanks to Mrs Cooke for making the gorgeous costumes that have been on display in the entrance hall and which were used by Year 4 for their Romeo and Juliet drama”

Year 4 report that they’ve had fantastic time learning about Shakespeare. The children were initially nervous, especially when they looked at the plays in original language. However, after some explanation and study of the language, the children picked up the vocabulary quickly and had a go at paraphrasing some Shakespearean language, including the infamous insults!

L o w e r
Year 4 were very lucky to have the input of Elaine Mountford, a professional thespian (and EG mum!), who came in to run a drama workshop. The children were split into small groups and after playing some great drama games, they really got into the spirit of Shakespeare by performing a few acts from Romeo and Juliet. They then had the opportunity to perform to another year group later on in the week, wearing the beautiful Shakespearian costumes which Mrs Cooke had kindly created.
J u n i o r s
The result was superb acting and they really looked the part! Mrs Chauhan-Wall and Miss Mitchell would like to say a really big thank you to everyone who helped to bring Shakespeare alive for Year 4.

Double, double, toil and trouble...our Year 2 have been casting their own spells as they have explored the tragedy of Macbeth this week.
Our ever eager Year 2s have also been studying the stories of Hamlet, Twelfth Night, Romeo and Juliet and Julius Caesar and have enjoyed comparing and contrasting the themes of the plays. Some even wrote a letter to Mr Shakespeare to tell him of their preferences!
The children wrote their own witches scenes, coming up with their rhyming gruesome ingredients to add to their cauldrons. We had delights such as “eye of a screeching crocodile, a smelly dinner that’s been left out for
Over in Year 1, the children have been inspired by the story of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and have been exploring the ideas of dreams and wishes more closely. What else could happen in the magic wood? What would you wish for if you met a fairy?
L e a v e s
Both classes made beautiful wishing trees as result.

pictures based in the characters!
Some of the Year 1 pupils were so inspired by their new knowledge of Shakespeare that they have formed a ‘Shakespeare Club’ in their playtime to play out versions of his stories and to make

Having already enjoyed the lighter side of Shakespeare’s magical woods , Year 2 turned their attention to the darker tale of Macbeth and the three witches who prophesize Macbeth’s rise and downfall.

After learning the story of Shakespeare’s tragic Romeo and Juliet, Year 3 have been getting into the romantic mood and started the week by writing acrostic love poems. As you can see, they really got into character! They have also been learning and reciting parts of Shakespeare’s most famous sonnet and, like other year groups, tried their hand at writing with a quill. Other fun activities have included making a puppet show to retell the story of Romeo and Juliet,
which was then performed to the class. Asked for a their thoughts on the Shakespeare festival, Matthew (3LB) said, “I’d give it ten out of ten because I really wanted to know about Shakespeare and now I do. His stories were very good.” Miko (3LB) added, “ I found the pronunciation of some of the words in the sonnets hard at first but I enjoyed it. I have a book about Shakespeare and now I know all the stories”
YEAR 5 Our Year 5 children had the benefit of four days of professional dramatic input as two actors from the Young Shakespeare Company directed them in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The children were divided into small groups and each group performed a scene using their singing and acting skills. The children were amazingly keen and rehearsed hard in order to put on a spectacular performance to their parents on Thursday afternoon. Olive Botting and Alex Eibisch (5SPJ) said of the experience, “ It was really fun. The Young Shakespeare actors were really talented people who knew what they were doing. The perform-
ance went really well and James and Sheldon were just hilarious. Our parents said they thought we were all very talented”. Mrs Slaughter, teaching assistant in Year 5, commented: “I thought the children totally excelled themselves. The children who are naturally more reserved particularly seemed to blossom and found the confidence to perform.” As well as their acting extravaganza, Year 5 have been busy brushing up on their artistic skills. They have been drawing pictures of William Shakespeare himself and making papier maiche busts of him, using balloons!
Y e a r As well as rehearsing for their own brilliant production ‘Spotlight’, Year 6 have been busy getting to grips with Shakespeare too. On Monday 16th July, they visited Highdown School and spent a whole day in the drama studio with Mr Lindsay and some of his Year 12 drama students.
After some lively drama warm-ups, the children watched a performance of “The Shakespeare Show” which had been specially created for them. Including raps, comedy, singing and much original Shakespeare script, it told the life and works of the Bard. Following this treat, Year 6 then brushed up on their own acting skills and had great fun hurling Shakespearean insults at each other:
“Madam, thou weedy toad-spotted barnacle!” “Sir, thou craven common kissing clotpole.” After hearing more of Shakespeare’s work in “Sliced Ham..let” and “Macbeth and the Witches”, the children then had a go at putting together their own “Shakespeare Stew” in small groups. Alongside the Year 12 drama coaches, they came up with their stories, based on the ingredients of Shakespeare’s plays, and finished the day by performing to each other. The whole experience was a rewarding introduction to drama at secondary school level and had the children buzzing. As well as learning about the great playwright and his works, the children also learned what it takes to be a convincing actor and to see firsthand what the talented Year 12 pupils were capable of.
A huge thanks goes to Mr Lindsay and his drama students for putting in so much work this term to make it an unforgettable experience.

While Sony may not talking too much about the details surrounding the release of the NGP, the developers working on the system certainly are. A few days ago some developers claimed to reveal an 11/11/11 release for the device, and now Ubisoft is joining the rumor mill by pricing the Wi-Fi and 3G models of the NGP in an online survey.
The survey, called “Ubisoft- NGP concept- US Adults” was meant to gauge readers’ interest in the forthcoming handheld. Here is a quote from it:
The retail price of the Sony NGP is expected to be around $350… How likely would you be to purchase the Sony NGP now that you know this retail price?
The survey than goes on to price the Wi-Fi only version of the NGP at $250 dollars.
Of course this does not confirm the pricing for the two NGP models, but it certainly is in the ballpark of earlier estimates. Surely Ubisoft has been working closely with Sony for quite some time on the device, so lets hope it didn’t pull these prices out of thin air; after all, the original PSP launched for $250 too.
So what do you think? Are you willing to pay an extra 100 bucks for 3G connectivity and online gaming on the go? Or would you rather save the cash and go with Wi-Fi and hotspots?

As Europe's economies stagnate, or even decline a little, Japan has just turned in as stunningly bad a quarter of economic performance as one can conceive. The Financial Times reports here that Japan suffered economic contraction at an annual rate of 6.8% in the second quarter.
How is it even possible to have an economy shrink at such a rate? Well, perhaps we should mention that since early 2013 Japan has been engaged in a world-leading blowout Keynesian economic experiment of rapidly increasing government spending and taxes, aka "fiscal stimulus." The program is often referred to as "Abenomics," after Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Here from the Council on Foreign Relations in June (before these latest disastrous numbers were out) is a backgrounder on "Abenomics" and how it was supposed to end close to two decades of economic stagnation in Japan. Abenomics includes both monetary and fiscal "stimulus." CFR describes the fiscal side of the program as follows:
Abe . . . ordered a hefty 10.3 trillion yen short-term stimulus package, approved by the cabinet in January 2013, which will go toward infrastructure projects with a focus on building bridges, tunnels, and earthquake-resistant roads. . . . Abe announced in October 2013 that he would raise the consumption tax in April 2014 from 5 percent to 8 percent; this is projected to increase to 10 percent in 2015.
Rapidly increasing government spending and taxes, on top of an economy with a debt to GDP ratio already exceeding 200%. What could go wrong?
The FT correctly points out that there is likely a not small element of statistical aberration in the 6.8% quarterly decline. Abe announced the tax increase several months before it took effect, giving the people the opportunity to game it by making their purchases in advance of the increase and stopping all purchases as soon as the increase took effect. Thus there had been a reported 6.7% gain in GDP in the first quarter.
Yet the contraction more than wiped out the earlier gain: growth from January to March was revised down in Wednesday’s report, from 6.7 per cent to 6.1 per cent, while the government also said it now believed the economy had shrunk slightly in the final quarter of 2013.
So the net, net is, three quarters in the thick of Abenomics, and Japan's economy has not grown, but rather has declined. And remember, they count government spending on goods and services, no matter how wasteful, at 100 cents on the dollar in the GDP calculation. If you figure (as I do) that government spending is worth at best half of what private spending is worth, then the economic decline is several points worse than they are reporting.
Needless to say, Official Manhattan Contrarian Worst Economics Writer Paul Krugman wasted no time in coming out with an article arguing that Europe and Japan were in stagnation because they still would not engage in enough "stimulus."
The not-enoughers — a group that includes yours truly — have argued all along that the clear and present danger is Japanification rather than Hellenization. That is, they have warned that inadequate fiscal stimulus and a premature turn to austerity could lead to a lost decade or more of economic depression, that the Fed should be doing even more to boost the economy, that deflation, not inflation, was the great risk facing the Western world.
How about making government spending 100% of GDP? Would that be enough "stimulus" for you, Paul? In that direction of course lies North Korea, where everybody starves.
At National Review, Kevin Williamson comments:
I’ll bet you your next unemployment check that if Japan continues to slide, the answer from the Left will be: “Abe was on the right track, but he didn’t go far enough."
Hard to make a safer bet than that. No amount of real world demonstration of failure of their recommended policies can ever make the likes of Krugman and the IMF recognize reality. Is there any escape from this mass hysteria?

RETIRED CANADIAN MLA WINS $1 MILLION LOTTO MAX PRIZEA retired government official from the Western Canadian province of Alberta has won $1 million on the National Lotto Max lottery.Bruce Rowe, who until last year was an Alberta Member of the Legislative Assembly, was already well known in the area but will now become something of a local celebrity after winning the huge prize. Mr Rowe served as an MLA for the Wildrose Alliance Party of Alberta, a right wing party, before crossing the floor to the Progressive Conservative party in his last year of standing.Together with his wife, Carol, Mr Rowe collected his winnings from lottery officials in St Albert and he said that it was an amazing feeling to discover that he had won the lottery. “You can’t imagine it, it was a pretty good feeling,” said the Lotto Max winner who purchased his Quick Pick ticket from a Lotto booth in Market Mall Calgary. The Rowe’s are not the only Western Canadians to win big on the Lotto Max recently, as a British Columbia woman collected her $12.5 million lottery prize just last week.It was Mrs Rowe who discovered the Lotto Max win, and she said that when she realised that they had won the he $1 million Lotto Max prize, she felt like she had gone into shock. “I just kept on saying, ‘Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!’ That’s all I could think of to say,” said the former mayor wife, who continued by saying that she then called her husband to break the news, and he couldn’t believe what he was hearing either.The couple have now said that they are happy the Lotto Max winnings will be able to take away some of their worries about money, and they are thinking about replacing their classic car collection. Mr Rowe used to have a 1965 Corvette, but sold it recently in order to pay off the mortgage. Hopefully that can soon be rectified!The couple are also planning on using some of their Lotto Max winnings to help out their grandchildren with their education, and as well as to enjoy their retirement. “It just took some of the worries about the economy and everything away for sure,” said the former mayor of Beiseker and MLA for Olds-Didsbury-Three-Hills.It must be a great feeling to find out that you became a millionaire… play lottery online with us at Lottery24.com and find out how it feels.

We went to see Dave Thomas before going up to Crick and asked him to make some well deck lockers. The well deck is at the front of the boat above the water tank. The deck is about 5 ft square and we had wooden boxes and a small chest of draws to store paint tins, tools and mooring equipment. Over the years we accumulated more stuff which really needs sorting out as it is overflowing the containers. It was never tidy and we could not sit out there.
Although Dave and Barry are strictly metal workers engaged in building a new boat they set to and spent two days on our boat. They even managed to make the wooden tops for us.

Automotive transmissions are required to efficiently transfer power from the engine to the wheels. Automatic transmissions are one of the most widely used transmission systems. This transmission houses a hydraulic system that is used to actuate the clutch system to realize different gear ratios. Currently, these clutches are primarily controlled in open-loop using many valves in a complex control architecture designed specifically for a given transmission system in order to perform precise pressure and flow control. To meet the increasing demand for higher fuel economy, transmissions with greater number of gear ratios are being introduced. The hydraulic architecture is becoming increasingly complicated with more clutches and control elements. With the advancement of MEMS technology, the sensor-based direct feedback control of clutches becomes possible. This paper first analyzes the current architecture of transmission hydraulic actuation and then presents a new architecture for the feedback-based clutches. The proposed architecture is further validated through experiments using a hardware-in-the-loop system.

Done deal: The Ravens have clinched the AFC North crown and will host a playoff game at M&T Bank Stadium. Right now, they’re the No. 4 seed, which means if the season ended today, they’d face the Indianapolis Colts (still hard to say those words together, isn’t it?) and rookie quarterback Oliver Luck.
The Ravens have a shot at moving up to the No. 3 seed with a win over the Bengals this weekend in Baltimore. But they also need New England, who plays mediocre Miami, to lose. If that happens, then the Ravens get the Bengals again.
So, the question is, who would the Ravens rather play? And, is the difference between playing the Colts and Bengals worth playing a banged-up starter or risking injury to one of the few healthy players remaining at this point in the season.
My guess is that the Ravens are better off getting the veterans more rest. Then face a rookie quarterback at home rather than a division rival that knows them pretty well. Treat the Bengals game like the...

Like the saying, “the person who represents himself in court has a fool for a client,” physicians are not immune from the type of foolishness that comes with avoiding their own advice. According a recent Time.com report, doctors are notorious for being the worst patients. Specifically, doctors are known for partaking in the very unhealthy habits that they advise patients not to indulge in.
For example, there are physicians who smoke despite knowing that lung cancer is directly attributable to this habit; physicians who frequently eat fast food despite the health warnings and levels of obesity, and doctors who continue to use tanning salons in light of the skin cancer risks that come with it.
According to the Time.com report, it appears that doctors adopt the same thinking that supports many dangerous habits: “it won’t happen to me.” And when doctors do become ill, there is an undercover culture of self-medicating that can lead to inaccurate advice to patients. For instance, if a doctor is struggling with high cholesterol, he or she may be less likely to counsel a patient on the best ways to address the problem. The same could be said about doctors who abuse painkillers or smoke cigarettes.
Indeed, doctors may be reluctant to discuss their issues out of fear of reprisal. Moreover, they may believe that it could undermine their reputation and end their careers. Nevertheless, for the sake of patient safety, it is important that doctors practice what they preach. One way that doctors and other health care professionals are working towards this is by incorporating The Patient Promise.
Our next post will highlight this and how it may help.

A Coventry man who slashed his housemate's throat and then repeatedly stabbed him has been sentenced today.
The unprovoked attack by Colin Lloyd happened at a multi-occupancy house in Earlsdon and saw the victim still have the knife sticking out of his back when he was taken hospital.
James Roche survived his terrifying ordeal and Lloyd stood trial where he was cleared of trying to kill him but found guilty of wounding him with intent.
Lloyd, 56, of Collingwood Road, Earlsdon, was remanded in custody ahead of sentencing today at Coventry Crown Court while a psychiatric report was prepared on him.
The trial heard that the two men lived in a multi-occupancy house where they were the only two residents at the time of the incident in June last year.
On June 7, 2020, Lloyd - who suffers from bipolar disorder - attacked Mr Roche while he was sat in his own room, before Lloyd left the house and made his way to a churchyard where he removed his trainers and also left his passport, birth certificate and a pile of cash there.
Lloyd returned to the house, by which time the police trying to save Mr Roche’s life before he was rushed to hospital, with the knife still stuck in his back.
You can follow live updates from court below:
We've pulled together everything that was said in court, and the background to the case, and you can read that here.
Words for Lloyd's family
Speaking to Lloyd's family in court, the judge says: "The court salutes your efforts to support him through this very difficult time.
"Through your own faiths, you will seek solace.
"This order will not only protect the public, it will protect him from this happening again."
Lloyd will be cared for at the Reaside clinic in Birmingham.
Judge Lockhart also granted a restraining order against Lloyd which prohibits him from any contact with Mr Roche for 20 years.
Lloyd is made subject to a hospital order with a restriction order also in place.
This means he will be detained under the Mental Health Act and treated for his condition.
The restriction order means Lloyd will only be discharged with the consent of the Secretary of State or a mental health tribunal - and could be returned to hospital at any time if his behaviour ever gives cause for further concern.
Judge Lockhart rules that Lloyd poses a danger of "committing other offences that could cause death of serious harm" and "cannot indicate when those risks will end".
He says Lloyd's bipolar affective disorder is an "enduring mental health condition" and it is likely he would not have committed the offence "if not for your medical condition".
He added: "Had it been treated that day it might not have happened."
During his evidence, Mr Roche had also told the jury that in the weeks leading up to the attack, Lloyd has been listening to music until 5am, placing books in to fridge-freezers and pulling mirrors off the wall.
On the day itself - June 7, 2020 - Lloyd had been to see the mental health crisis team.
The judge says his judgement is that on that day Lloyd was suffering a relapse with his bipolar disorder.
Referrring to what he calls Mr Roche's "chilling" evidence given during the trial, Judge Lockhart says the victim told the jury that Lloyd was drinking whisky and eating a jacket potato with his fingers, before he (Mr Roche) helped him back to his room and then returned to his own.
Soon after, Lloyd came back to Mr Roche's room saying he had left his tobacco there, before launching the attack.
The judge says when Mr Roche got out of the house, "people assisted him" and helped to save his life, along with the medics who then arrived.
Of the events on June 7, 2020, Judge Lockhart says the two men were at home and there was "no animosity" between them, with Mr Roche even cooking a meal for Lloyd.
"You then took up and armed yourself with a large knife. You cut him acros the throat and then stabbed him in the back, leaving the weapon embedded in his back," the judge tells Lloyd, who is in the dock at Coventry Crown Court.
The judge says there was "no explanation" for the attack.
Judge Andrew Lockhart is now passing sentence.
He says that Mr Roche was in hospital for a number of days after the attack and required 36 stitches in his neck and right ear, and two stab wounds to his back were fixed with staples, while his saliva gland no longer works.
Mr Roche is no longer able to work and cannot understand why he was attacked by Lloyd when he had tried to help him, the judge says.
Potential hospital order
Dr Sivaprasad says that if Lloyd is detained through a hospital order and is then deemed safe for discharge, there could be conditions put in place to track how he is, including looking at where he lives, the medication he is on, keeping appointments and testing for drug and alcohol use.
She also says medical teams looking after cases such as this also liaise closely with victims and take into condiseration their wishes around contact and an "exclusion zone" if one is desired.
Claire Davis, defending, says that a doctor's report prepared for the court states that the "most likely reason" for Lloyd's attack was him "reacting to delusions" due to his bipolar disorder.
Dr Leela Sivaprasad, a consultant forensic psychiatrist, is asked to speak to the court and says that Lloyd still suffers from bipolar disorder and would "meet the criteria" to be detained under the Mental Health Act.
Mr Roche, in his statement, said he "wants nothing to do with Colin" and also wants "some sort of protection" from him.
The victim said that one of his scars "aches constantly" and catches another one whenever he shaves.
Mr Roche said he still lives in the house in Collingwood Road "not by choice but by circumstances" and is "nervous" about leaving in case he is attacked again.
He said he also "does not understand" why Lloyd attacked him as he believed the two of them got along.
In his statement, Mr Roche said he still has swelling around the scars he suffered in the attack.
He said he has "three visible big scars that will never go away" and added: "Each time I see them I have nightmares about what happened that night."
The sentencing hearing is underway.
Judge Andrew Lockhart QC is handing down the sentence today at Coventry Crown Court.
The court is hearing an impac statement from the victim, James Roche.

With Louise Erdrich winning the National Book Award for The Round House, we can assume that we'll have our best hardcover sales of her since we've been keeping records, and maybe since the days of Love Medicine and The Beet Queen, which I remember being a particularly huge sales success at Schwartz.
A customer asked me yesterday what I knew about Sweet Tooth, the new Ian McEwan novel, as she'd heard mixed reviews. The UK-based Observer's recommendation offers: "Sweet Tooth is playful, comic, preposterous even. But it's impossible to ignore that its protagonist is a young and fairly gauche English person – female this time – failing miserably (though perhaps not so dangerously) in her job as a spy."
And David Daley in USA Today observes "It's a tightly crafted, exquisitely executed page-turner — a post-modern
hall of mirrors asking savvy questions about identity (with an
unreliable narrator and a Martin Amis cameo), all concealed in the
immersive trappings of a Victorian novel complete with a marriage plot.
There's such rich pleasure and vulnerability in McEwan's storytelling,
such style and heart in his well-honed sentences."

The cookbooks are beginning their fourth quarter pop. This felt like it might be the year when the web started stealing our sales by offering out the individual receipes on line but noting that this week's top ten includes four cookbooks begs to differ. Our rep Jason noted I got Ms. Perelman's title wrong on a previous post; I made it sound like a different kind of book altogether.
As the holidays approach, another topic on everyone's must-have list is brain science apparently. While we've yet to have a bestseller-sized pop on Susannah Cahalan's Brain on Fire, Oliver Sacks's Hallucinations is seeing good sales. Suzanne Koven in the Boston Globe notes that the new book is less anecdote heavy, but it's still an interesting anthology of hallucinations that were not linked to mental illness.
Andrew Solomon's new book is about parents raising children with extraordinary needs. The range of circumstances are large, from when the children need parents with a particularly large heart (schizophrenia) to when the burden is more on the parents (children of rape). Like his book, The Noonday Demon, Far from the Tree: Parents, Children, and the Search for Identity is an all-encompassing opus. Kathryn Schulz in New York magazine discusses Solomon's call for parents with kids of differing special needs to band together instead of balkanizing. I hope I got that right.

One thing I am noticing about our list this year in paperback is that for the second fall in a row, we do not have a few really strong paperback fiction (excluding erotica) books selling. In the past, we'd have at least a couple selling double digits each week, but our front tables are not driving quantity sales. I wonder if it's the slow takeover of the trade paperback fiction list by commercial fiction, the effect of e-book reading, or the lack of our book club table for a few months. I have no control over the first two, but the book club table is back. One thing that is pretty clear is that moving up the pub date on paperbacks does not seem to increase our sales of them. It's either for a different market, or it's more about earning back the advance faster.
The Paris Wife finally comes out in paperback on November 27. Let's see how that goes.
1. Memoir of the Sunday Brunch, by Julia Pandl
2. Historic Milwaukee Public Schoolhouses, by Robert Tanzilo
3. Schuster's and Gimbels, by Paul Geenen
4. Read This, edited by Hans Weyandt
5. In the Garden of Beasts, by Erik Larsen
If you missed our event with Hans Weyandt on Thursday and would like to learn a little more about how Read This came together, here is his interview in The Rumpus with Jennifer Bowen Hicks. Just a tease:
"There was a time last fall where I’d be getting these e-mails [from
booksellers] and it would be my favorite part of the day. It was like
you said earlier, peeking into the minds of other booksellers and
getting to know them well. Even those I knew pretty well I’d feel I’d
know better from their lists. There’d be books on there I knew, but
there were many that I didn’t. Even for people who read a lot or work in
the book world, very few people will know every book on someone’s list.
It’s as much fun to see stuff you didn’t know about as it is to see the
stuff you’re really connected to."
Books for kids:
1. The Third Wheel: Diary of a Wimpy Kid, volume 7, by Jeff Kinney
2. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, paperback edition by Sherman Alexie
3. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, cloth edition, by Sherman Alexie
4. Hollow Earth, by John Barrowman and Carole E. Barrowman
5. Diary of a Wimpy Kid, by Jeff Kinney
I still haven't gotten through my head that the price difference on the hardcover and paperback versions of Absolutely True Diary favor hardcover sales at events because they are so close. The hardcover was priced as a kids' book but the paperback was priced as an adult book (as a kids book, it would be closer to $10, maybe $11). Makes a difference.
Our kids' pop this week was below the top five, the graphic novel edition of A Wrinkle in Time, adapted by Hope Larson. Descriptions are trimmed, becoming images, but the dialogue is still there. Reviewers are calling it faithful, and Jannis, our bookseller who just finished it, agreed wholeheartedly. From Kirkus: "Adaptations can be difficult to execute with style and grace; Larson
manages to do both and still add her own flair. Larson's admiration and
respect for the original text shines through; this is an adaptation done
right." This links to the review and an interview with Larson.
For next week's bestsellers, we look to the Journal Sentinel, where we hope to find a second pop for My Bookstore and Read This, as well as Weird Things Customers Say in Bookstores, which features entries from Lanora Haradon of the late Next Chapter.
Mike Fischer reviews Alice Munro's latest collection, Dear Life. His take: "Like the 81-year-old Munro, many of the characters here are older, and
they're often very aware of time. The most perceptive learn the lesson
each of these stories teaches: Life is indeed dear and therefore not to
be wasted - reason enough to spend one's days reading and rereading
Munro's magnificent stories."
And in Carole E. Barrowman's "Paging through Mysteries" column, she focuses on three titles.
Hand for Hand, by Frank Muir, set at St. Andrews, where the nearby Valley of Sin is a dumping ground for body parts. Barrowman compares his work to Ian Rankin and Denise Mina.
Attica Locke's The Cutting Season is set in contemporary Louisiana, at a restored plantation that his been the locale for the death of a migrant worker. Barrowman calls this "an elegant gothic mystery."
And Barrowman calls Andrew Hunt's City of Saints a terrific debut, set in 1930s Salt Lake City. The mystery is based on the real-life murder of a wealthy socialite and an aspiring Hollywood actress and is packed with historical detai.

The M2A1’s turret can be readily distinguished from the M2’s by its vertical sides. Pictured are two 1st Armored Division M2A1s during a training exercise. S. Army, as France’s army was considered the best in Europe at the time. S. Army to overcome the branch rivalries that had so hobbled the development of tanks during the interwar period, and allowed for the forming of a separate “Armored Force” on July 10, 1940, two weeks after the fall of France. With the forming of the Armored Force, the term “combat cars” for the Cavalry Branch was done away with, all combat cars being referred to as what they had always been: light tanks.
Test Engineers at Aberdeen Proving Ground stated in a January 14, 1942 report that the engine was underpowered, causing the horsepower to weight ratio to be too low to provide satisfactory performance. S. ” A further disadvantage of using an aircraft-derived radial engine is that it is inherently tall, with a drive shaft that is also higher above the engine bay floor than a comparable in-line or V-type engine. The overall engine bay height therefore drove up the height of the M3 upper hull and turret.
To keep the manufacturing costs of the M3 at an acceptable level, the Ordnance Department decided to dispense with the 37mm gun M5 armed turret of the M2A1, which was constructed of FHA plates riveted together. 30 caliber machine gun. 30 caliber machine gun. Unlike RHA, which is difficult to make in anything other than flat plates, CHA can be molded into almost any shape desired, such as tank turrets and gun shields. It can also be formed in varying thicknesses in a single pour, with weight distribution allocated to sections that are most vulnerable.

A RNG need not be long latency, depending on the requirements. Requirements for cryptography vs. a Monte-carlo simulation are different. For cryptography you ideally want a generator that can’t be predicted, even knowing the last N numbers produced. If this takes 300 cycles to get a result, so be it, you aren’t asking for than many random numbers. A Monte-carlo simulation, on the other hand, can accept less random results but likes them fast.
A hardware LFSR based generator should be faster than an adder, but is completely unsuitable for cryptography, far too predictable. A software based LFSR in the same code using the numbers I’d estimate running 1 vector of results/cycle on the mill.
Reading from a bank of asynchronous oscillators is fairly fast and pretty good if the sampling is slow compared to the oscillator rate. But this takes power to run the hardware. So high power consumption, slow sampling, or weak randoms. If combined with another independent method you can get top grade randoms.

Kansas Gets Reprieve On New Rules For Medicaid Home Care Providers
The U.S. Department of Labor on Tuesday granted a six-month delay in enforcement of a new rule applying federal minimum wage and overtime provisions to home care workers employed by so-called “self-directed” Medicaid consumers.
The rule, which mandates minimum wage and overtime pay for home care staff who work more than 40 hours a week, will still go into effect Jan. 1, 2015, as originally announced. However, for the first six months of next year, the Labor Department will use its "prosecutorial discretion" and will not enforce the rule. That means the department will not conduct audits, investigations or respond to complaints.
The Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services was among several entities seeking relief from the new rule. Gov. Sam Brownback had expressed concern that the rule boosting the pay of personal care attendants hired by elderly and disabled Kansans to help them stay in their own homes would add $33 million to $40 million to the overall Medicaid budget in Kansas, including $15 million from state funds not in the current budget.
KDADS Secretary Kari Bruffett had predicted that would force the state to put a hard cap on the hours that in-home caregivers could work.
“The state of Kansas is very likely to respond to something like this by saying we’re not going to let anybody work over 40 hours," she said. "Because the way our model is set up, we don’t have the ability to control, specifically, what your hours are, because the consumers are controlling that.”
On Tuesday, Bruffett said state officials were reviewing the newly announced policy.
“We are grateful that it now appears the Department of Labor understands the impact of its new interpretation of the FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) rules,” she said. “We would also add that the voice of self-directed consumers in Kansas, whose care and services would be the most affected by the new interpretation, undoubtedly played an important role in the DOL’s announcement today.”
Not everyone was pleased with the Labor Department’s decision to delay enforcement of the rule. PHI, a New York-based nonprofit group that advocates for quality long-term care, issued a statement saying home care workers deserve better.
“The decision to delay means that 2 million home care workers — largely low-income women, and disproportionately women of color — will have to wait as long as another 12 months to receive even the most basic labor protections, guarantees that most other American workers take for granted,” PHI President Jodi Sturgeon said.
Sturgeon called on states like Kansas that have not yet taken steps to comply with the rule to make the necessary budget commitments and program adjustments to ensure compliance by June 2015. After that time, the Labor Department still may opt not to take enforcement actions, but that will depend on the circumstances.
Bruffett said it's too soon to say whether the Brownback Administration would request funding during the 2015 legislative session to finance the state’s share of the minimum wage and overtime costs associated with the federal rule.

Arctic microalgae are survivalistsJune 12, 2018 Microalgae communities in coastal waters remain productive under variable environmental conditions
They are the basis of the Arctic food web - and extremely resilient: as the water becomes more acidic and the light or temperatures change, various Arctic microalgae communities seem to maintain their productivity and species composition. This is the result of a study by researchers from the Alfred Wegener Institute, which they have published together with Canadian colleagues online in the journal Nature Climate Change. However, whether the food sources of seals, whales and different fish species in the Arctic can adapt to global changes remains to be explored.
Sometimes permanent darkness under meter-thick ice, sometimes 24 hours of daylight; sometimes clear, salty seawater, sometimes murky fresh water from rivers; and all under freezing temperatures: microalgae in Arctic coastal waters are exposed to extreme and highly variable environmental conditions. What big challenges can be an advantage in times of global change. Because this arctic phytoplankton has adapted in the course of evolution to variable environmental conditions. This may explain why some microalgae communities are better able to adapt to global change than communities from regions with more stable environmental conditions.
"We were able to show that some microalgae are the most important arctic primary producers with high resistance. For example, they are less responsive to ocean acidification than we know from communities in the Southern Ocean or temperate regions," says biologist Dr. Clara Hoppe from the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research (AWI). She had experimented with natural phytoplankton communities to change temperature, light regime and pH, and determined the productivity of microalgae. The oceans are acidifying because the burning of fossil fuels releases more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. In the water, the CO2 reacts to carbonic acid and reduces its pH, which, for example, at the cellular level can influence the metabolism and thus the productivity of organisms.
In nine out of ten experimental approaches, productivity remained similar. Only in the experiment with the lowest temperature of 1.8 degrees Celsius did increasing acidification result in decreasing productivity. At the other experimental temperatures between 3 to 8 degrees Celsius, ocean acidification had no measurable effects for the one to three-week experiments. "We conclude that the microalgae can buffer the higher levels of protons associated with decreasing pH as long as the temperatures remain within the right limits," the authors report in the study.
The overall ability of coastal zone phytoplankton to remain productive even under widely varying environmental conditions leads the scientific team back to various mechanisms. On the one hand, the individual microalgae seem to be able to handle different environmental conditions very flexibly, as the AWI team was able to show in further laboratory experiments. On the other hand, many diatom species form spores that can survive several years on the seabed. If the environmental conditions are favourable for certain spores, the microalgae develop and can form plankton blooms. Thus, there is a sort of seed bank with high intra- and inter-species diversity, which gives algae species or strains that cope particularly well with many environmental combinations.
"Primary production in the Arctic is an important ecosystem service from which increasingly commercially important fishing grounds will depend. We were able to show that in the laboratory test the producers are surprisingly resistant to the ocean acidification expected by the end of the century - good news!" Clara Hoppe is pleased. Nevertheless, it is important to understand the limitations and costs of this resistance, to which their study makes an important contribution. Whether the results allows making statements for the complex food web in nature remains to be investigated.

Since his inauguration, President Donald Trump has proclaimed an “America first” philosophy. On Tuesday, Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carson confirmed that this means even citizens and legal residents could be kicked out onto the street just for being related to an undocumented immigrant — including their children.
Carson was testifying Tuesday before the House Financial Services Committee when House Democrats questioned him about a new HUD proposal that would disfavor families that include an undocumented immigrant when it comes to receiving housing assistance. Even if their child is a legal citizen, the whole family could lose their home because one parent is undocumented, for example. As many as 55,000 children that are citizens or legal residents could become homeless because of the rule change.
Carson openly acknowledged his belief that all-citizen families are more deserving of having a roof over their head than families with mixed immigration status. “It’s not that we’re cruel, mean-hearted,” he insisted. “It’s that we are logical. This is common sense. You take care of your own first.”
There’s a political motivation behind the proposal as well, which Carson admitted. The administration is holding these families hostage to try to force Congress to pass some sort of comprehensive immigration reform. If they can’t find other places to live, the families will have the opportunity to apply for up to three six-month deferrals, Carson explained, and that year and a half of impending homelessness should be “enough time for Congress to engage in comprehensive immigration reform.”
There’s no promise that Congress could agree to a bill in that time that Trump would sign, nor is there any guarantee it would remedy this situation or prevent HUD from displacing these families from their homes.
Carson has consistently shown a casual disregard for the people who might lose their homes as a result of the changes he tries to make at HUD. For example, his department has proposed legislation that would force people receiving housing subsidies to pay an increased portion of their income and triple the minimum monthly rent they would have to pay. Carson has also been dismantling an Obama-era rule combating housing discrimination, leaving it to individuals to engage in costly litigation to enforce the Fair Housing Act.
But the proposal is also reminiscent of the administration’s other strict immigration policies, including its family separation policy. The administration has lost track of thousands of children separated from their families at the border, unable to reunite them with their parents, including at least another 1,712 children per a new report, in addition to the previously known 3,000. Just this week, a 16-year-old migrant child died in an immigration detention facility after being held there twice as long as federal law permits. He was the fifth minor to die after being detained at the border since December.
Despite this, Trump wants to double down on the policy by forcing immigrant families to make a “binary choice” between family separation and family detention — losing their child or being jailed alongside them.
This HUD policy could force thousands more children into the foster care system. If a child is a citizen but either or both of their parents are undocumented, they could not only lose their home, but enforcement could lead to the parents’ deportation as well. Because mixed-status families also receive prorated assistance (undocumented family members don’t receive aid), the policy of only providing to families in which all members are citizens would actually cost the government more. The administration is willing to increase costs and increase homelessness — including for U.S. citizens — just to target and punish undocumented immigrants.
Unsurprisingly, White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller is behind all of these new immigration proposals. Miller reportedly orchestrated the ousters of several officials last month, including Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, paving the way for him to personally oversee the administration’s immigration policy. Miller is virulently xenophobic, even once insisting that the Statue of Liberty’s poem — “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free” — was only “added later” and didn’t represent the country’s past approach to immigration.

Glad to report some good news. We've a previously used a Geotrust Truebusiness ID Wildcard certificate to secure our RemoteApp servers and after a bit of head scratching have now used the standard FMS 15 admin console to use the same certificate to secure our first v15 server.
No need to use the command line (for the first time), we did have to create a new certificate signing request file and get our wildcard certificate reissued based on this (no cost, just a web page to put the revised CSR in and a new certificate/intermediate certificate issued by email - a minute or two). Nice green lock icon on the FMP v14 and v15 clients.
So it looks finally as if we don't have to continually purchase individual certificates for each server or combination of servers for 2-machine deployment and can finally see some cost saving for a software update.
We're now looking forward to doing some back to back speed tests in comparison with v14 server.

Fundamentally, bronchitis consists of 2 types--acute and chronic bronchitis. Although the names of those 2 are similar, there's a whale of a gap between them as they have been caused by different agents. Thus, you'll find several sorts of drugs for bronchitis.
Acute bronchitis is normal during the winter and doesn't endure for quite a long time. A viral or a bacterial disease or both usually follows this condition. This disorder doesn't call for any particular treatment. It clears in just a couple of weeksnonetheless, the cough can persist for a long time. There's a risk of severe bronchitis leading to pneumonia.
Seniors, young kids, and babies are the usual sufferers of severe bronchitis. The immune systems of infants and small children are still at the growing phase, and this also makes them prone to the condition as the immune systems of older men and women are diminished with age. Smokers and people who already have a heart or lung disease stand the probability of contracting actue bronchitis. People living in polluted areas also commonly suffer from severe bronchitis. To discover more details on oils for bronchitis, you must visit our website, Authority Health.
First and foremost, the medicines for serious bronchitis try to knock out the symptoms of this disease.
People diagnosed with acute bronchitis must drink plenty of water and fresh fruit juicesand give up smoking once and for all, take loads of rest, relax whenever you can, and also utilize humidifiers in their houses. The physician prescribes drugs like acetaminophen if the disease is accompanied by mild fever and pain. Sometimes, aspirin is also taken. But expectant mothers and children should not take aspirin because it is supposed to cause significant bleeding in expectant mothers and Reye's syndrome in children.
In the event of dry cough, the individual can simply take an anti-cough medication. However, when it is cough combined with phlegm, it is sensible not to require any anti-cough medicine and to allow the entire body to cleanse itself. If this kind of cough is suppressed with an anti-cough medicine, then the phlegm might collect in the lungs and sponsor bacteria that are dangerous. An expectorant is more wise than an anti-cough medicine for the reason that it liquefies the thick mucus in the air and makes it effortless for your individual to cough it outside.
A common symptom is a chronic, productive cough that's combined with lots of phlegm. Unlike severe bronchitis, chronic bronchitis can be actually a long-term disorder, and its symptoms are visible for three months to two years.
Inhalation of certain irritants can lie at the root cause of chronic bronchitis. A few examples of irritants are cigarette smoke or smog or even an assortment of both. The disease progresses slowly, and the most common groups identified chronic bronchitis contain the elderly and the middle-aged.
Medicines for chronic asthma will vary from those prescribed for severe bronchitis because it is a more complicated condition. Physicians carefully examine patients for additional health conditions before designing a plan for treatment to control and deal with the infection. Treatment also includes massive alterations in life style such as giving up smoking permanently and moving to cleaner, non-polluted places. Regular exercise also helps the individual deal with chronic bronchitis in a more effective way.
Several medicines for bronchitis disease are all readily available. Do not take any of them on your own. Consult your physician, who is the ideal person to allow you to design a fantastic treatment program.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The level of skin autofluorescence (AF) at a given moment is an independent predictor of mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Skin AF is a measure of the accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). The aim of the study was to estimate the influence of nutrition on the 1-year increase of skin AF (Delta AF) in HD patients.
SUBJECTS/METHODS: A total of 156 HD patients were enrolled in this study. Skin AF, body mass index (BMI), superoxide dismutase, myeloperoxidase, C-reactive protein, inter-cellular adhesion molecule-1, von Willebrand factor and heart-type fatty acid-binding protein were measured four times at intervals of approximately half a year. Data from the monthly routine blood analysis were also used. Daily calorie, protein and AGE intakes were assessed from food recordings over a period of 1 week.
RESULTS: A J-shaped relation was found between baseline BMI and Delta AF (P = 0.01). The lowest point of the J-shaped curve is found for BMI = 24.3 kg/m(2). In the univariate analysis of the contributors to the 1-year Delta AF, we found that beside BMI = 24.3 kg/m(2), AGE and calorie intakes, as well as myeloperoxidase and HD vintage, had a P < 0.10. The sole independent predictor of the 1-year Delta AF was BMI = 24.3 kg/m(2) (P = 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: It appears that calorie, protein and AGE intakes hardly influence the 1-year Delta AF in HD patients. BMI of HD patients of around 24 kg/m(2) resulted in a lower 1-year Delta AF.
