Written by Aaron Guzikowski
Directed by Denis Villeneuve
Overstuffed with an A-list cast, Denis Villeneuve’s US debut Prisoners is a funereal and often shocking meditation on what people are capable of doing for their loved ones. Permeated with savagery and blood, this is a film that forces ghastly situations on the audience which they’ve likely seen before but are hopefully not entirely numb to processing from a victim’s point of view. The drive behind what holds a family together for better or worse is showcased in painful detail. Gruesome, agonizing, and distressing, Prisoners goes for the jugular and leaves everyone wincing at the hideous view of the human condition that it leaves in its wake.
With just a crack of hope peaking through every scene, Prisoners constantly reminds you that none of its characters are safe or free to live without oppressive guilt. All involved cannot release themselves from the dizzying stranglehold that the disappearance of two little girls brings. When the young children of the Dover and Birch families go missing, Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman) flies from frantic grief to kinetic rage trying to root out who has done it and if his daughter is still alive. Never mind that, beyond Jackman’s quite obvious motivations for resolving his desperation with violence, the rest of the characters’ reasonings for action or inaction are fuzzy and obtuse. Nonsensical explanations about others that are involved with the abduction only serve to divert the audience’s attention away from the unblinkingly stark emotional epicenter of the film. Jackman is undeniably that epicenter. He owns, crushes and mutes all other performances.
Alex Jones (Paul Dano) is a childlike suspect that’s frustratingly timid and rendered minuscule in the towering shadow of Jackman’s fury. Terrence Howard as the other father is almost constantly tearful, humiliated, and made disturbingly morally pliable by the abduction. Dover stooping down to a dangerous level of corruption to elicit results in his rash bid to get his daughter back is at least boldly decisive and memorable by comparison to the other shrinking, almost non-existent characters. This film builds Jackman up to be a figure of monumental heartache whose melancholic madness threatens to deepen his despair and family’s troubles beyond any repair. Dover’s actions amp up the stakes and explore a depth of depravity beyond where most moviegoers want to go. For that reason, however well-trodden the material may seem, Prisoners will be an adventurously morose outing for some that are purely enticed into a viewing by the pedigrees of the well-known cast.
Heading up the police investigation of the abduction is Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal), who uses everything that Jackman doesn’t, namely sound decision-making based on patient logic and a concentrated effort to make the right decision for everyone involved. He willfully uses his brain instead of attacking instinctively from the heart, but the film makes it apparent that he also has the luxury of living outside of the families affected. Like Dover, Loki is torn apart by trying to find the girls alive and becomes increasingly devil-may-care with his methods as time drags on and the odds of a positive outcome begin to dry up. What is and what is not considered moral within the misery of the situation is blurred as the seedier aspects of the film come to light.
The horrendousness within the story may feel all too familiar or stale to those well-acquainted with television crime dramas that often spare nothing in describing the bleak reality of degenerate minds and dismembered bodies. When right on track and at its most suspenseful, the movie is a remarkably well-crafted race against time in which Dover and Loki each take on the catastrophe in spellbindingly different ways. The resolute darkness that Jackman brings to the shades of grey he conducts his investigation with serves as a sad monologue that elevates the film from pulpy exploitation to a rumination on instinctive protectiveness. Gyllenhaal’s introspective detective in turn complements and supplements Jackman’s brutishness for a more complete view of consciences in crisis. Prisoners frustrates as it plods around monotonous violence but captivates as it finally unfurls its monstrous revelations and, in the end, satiates the audience even as it has taken them on an almost merciless odyssey into the minds of men forced to wallow in the worst of what humankind can suffer.

We have been busy sowing seeds in the polytunnel in town:
spring onions, italian white onions,
leaf beet, beet root,
tomatoes and peppers.
Onion sets (35kg) and seed potatoes (25kg x 4) have arrived and are waiting to get planted in the next two or three weeks. We will plant some of the potatoes on the second saturday of April, all things allowing.
David has been cultivating the veg patches, they are coming along. The soil is lovely but there is a lot fo organic matter to work in before we can get a good seed bed. It shouldn’t take too much longer now though.
Ken has been busy turning a plot in the garden veg area by hand, bless him. So we will be planting two varieties of broad beans in there next thursday.
We have been doing a bit of work preparing where the hedge will be planted on saturday, we hope some of you can make it along.
The hedge is a mix of blackthorn, hawthorn, crab apple, roses and a couple of others that I can’t remember off the top of my head. It will in time keep the larger wildlife in the area out of the vegetables, provide ingredients for jams and jellies, encourage smaller wildlife and make the field scale a bit more human.

There are several ways to tell if a lithium iron phosphate battery is not defective or reprocessed:
Manufacturer Reputation: The reputation of the manufacturer is an essential factor in determining the quality of a lithium iron phosphate battery. Reputable manufacturers typically follow strict quality control standards and use high-quality materials, ensuring that their batteries are not defective or reprocessed.
Battery Appearance: Examining the physical appearance of the battery can also provide some clues about its quality. A good lithium iron phosphate battery should have a uniform shape and color with no visible signs of damage or deformation.
Battery Labeling: Check the labeling on the battery to ensure that it includes the manufacturer's name, the battery's specifications, and the appropriate safety certifications.
Battery Performance: One of the most critical ways to determine the quality of a lithium iron phosphate battery is to test its performance. A good battery should have a consistent and reliable discharge and charging performance, with no significant fluctuations in voltage or capacity.
Documentation: Ensure that the battery comes with proper documentation, such as a user manual, a datasheet, and a warranty. A lack of documentation or incomplete information can be a sign of a defective or reprocessed battery.
It is essential to purchase lithium iron phosphate batteries from reputable manufacturers and trusted suppliers to ensure that they are not defective or reprocessed. Performing the above checks can help identify potential issues and ensure that the batteries meet the required quality standards.

CAF has signed contracts with the First Group passenger operator, Eversholt Rail Group and Beacon Rail rolling stock leasing companies for the supply and maintenance of 66 passenger coaches and 12 five-car electrical units of the CIVITY UK platform. The rolling stock will be leased to TransPennine Express Ltd, a FirstGroup plc company, that runs through the Northern Region of England. The new rolling stock is scheduled to be placed into service starting with 2018.
CAF’s commitment with the First Group operator will be long-term, as this partnership will continue until the end of the operation of the franchise in 2023 with the provision of technical support service for the maintenance and integral spares management for both train platforms. The contract for the supply and maintenance services is worth around EUR 310 million.
The new contracts add to those signed by the company also in the UK for €740 million in January, with the Arriva Rail North Limited operator and the Eversholt Rail Group finance company, for the manufacture of two fleets of 43 electric trains and 55 diesel trains, also of the CIVITY platform, which are meant for the Northern region (north of England). CAF is supplying new units of this platform fitted with the latest technological developments, with the aim of improving service conditions in the region and the cooperation with the operators during the franchise period, with the ultimate goal of achieving the best passenger service quality standards.
These recent contract awards by the First Group and ARRIVA UK operators have determined CAF to establish new operations in the UK, with facilities to carry out rolling stock assembly and test activities as well as maintenance. Likewise, CAF plans to establish a Spares Supply and Management Logistics Centre with the aim of managing the equipment necessary for the supply of components and tools in the various train maintenance and upkeep service operation locations. Activities carried out in the new facilities and those carried out at the customer’s workshops will both benefit from support services from the new Headquarters located at a strategic point on the northern network. This will include the hiring of technical and management personnel, and the provision of support services for Engineering, Purchasing management, Information Systems, Quality and Human Resources. More details related to the establishment of these new facilities will be made public in the coming months.

As more professional designers become involved in Web site design, the need to preserve typographic integrity in this environment and other interaction design environments is of paramount concern. Marshall McLuhan's “Global Village” has indeed become a reality with nearly 2,000,000,000 billion worldwide users online compared to 16 million in 1995.
Typographic concerns for printed communications are shared by online environments. However, designing with type on-screen poses special challenges, and attempts by designers to simply mimic the appearance of the printed page is a mistake. This chapter discusses the relationship of typography and screen environments, including legibility factors, visual heirarchy, and structuring type on electronic pages.
The Internet provides a challenging environment for good typography, especially with text sizes. Its problems are inherent in all on-screen font displays, whether designing typography for a laptop, digital notebook, cell-phone display, interactive kiosk, or Web site. When designing on a computer screen – even when the final production will take another form, such as offset printing – the same legibility issues apply to on-screen type. Screen fonts are bitmaps, which are digitized images made up of tiny dots.
To render an outline letterform stored as a Bézier curve on a computer screen, it must be rasterized, or converted into tiny dots called pixels, which is short for picture elements. ...

Our series of blog articles for parents on The Neuroscience of Music* continues with how music can help parents control impulses in their children, or more importantly, help children to control their own impulses through “inner speech.”
According to Dr. Dee Coulter, a renowned brain science educator, children need to develop impulse control to be successful in learning, social interactions, and performing complex movement tasks. Dr. Coulter identifies three elements of impulse control – the ability to calm, the ability to wait, and one last skill that develops more slowly – inner speech. Our last two blog articles touched on the impact of music on children’s ability to be patient and be calm. This installment focuses on the use of music to develop a child’s inner speech.
Inner speech is a kind of “self-talk” children use to guide their actions. Here are some insights and suggestions for parents to help their child discover their inner speech:
Inner Speech is Out Loud Until Age 8 or 9 – We can hear children speak out loud to direct their actions or narrate what they are doing. In motor tasks, they may use this “outer-speech” as they tie their shoes, make the shapes of letters, or play Simon Says. In music, this self-talk is developed when words are linked to movements like “head, shoulders, knees and toes” or stories in song that are acted out while singing. As the words are repeated over time they become automated. By age 4 or 5, this self-talk becomes strong enough to override temptations and children can use it to control their impulses. Later, children will need this inner speech skill to guide them while silent reading.
How to Teach Inner Speech in Babies and Toddlers:
- Sing and talk to your baby or toddler often. Research continually shows that the more children are spoken to as infants, the better their language skills will be later in life. Strong language skills, in turn, lead to improved social skills and better listening and learning skills for school.
- You will probably notice that your baby or toddler reacts even more favorably to your singing voice as they do when you are simply speaking to them. Singing is calming and soothing to them, so they will instinctively pay closer attention. Make up songs to explain what chores you are doing or what is happening in the world around them. Put their familiar nursery rhymes to music and sing them.
Teaching the Preschooler and Beginning School Age Child:
- To be a great self-talk coach, show them how by talking to yourself out loud. Just talk as if no one else is there and you are just thinking out loud about how to do these things. Narrate for your child as you do household chores, go to the post office, shop for groceries, or watch the activity at a sibling’s sports event.
- Recalling song lyrics and stories also builds inner speech. Enjoy singing with your preschooler and beginning school age child, too. Help them master the lyrics to traditional as well as contemporary children’s songs. Many of these songs tell stories, or narrate actions. You will be helping your child build impulse control and perform better in school.
Teaching your child to perform self-talk or inner speech, through music has many lasting benefits, including problem-solving, patience, confidence, and impulse-control. Hearing music and songs from caregivers from the earliest ages help to teach children to sing or talk through everyday tasks. Children’s song lyrics are often a manifestation of describing actions or stories, which help them begin to develop their own inner voice.

North Korea Getting Ready to Launch Ballistic Missile?
Kim Jong-un and his North Korea vs. the World
New week same question on everyone’s mind.
What is North Korea up to these days?
The answer to that varies depending on what news outlet you tune into.
The South Korean media reported today that it looks like North Korea is possibly getting ready to launch an ICBM.
Some of the mainstream media here in the US failed to report that while some of the radio communications appear to be similar to communications previously used to signal a missile launch, we still have no satellite proof that North Korea is hell bent on launching a Ballistic Missile in the coming days.
And by satellite proof, we are not seeing a movable launch pad, much less in the way of an actual missile being moved about the country.
Additionally, now is the time year that North Korea conducts it’s winter military training exercises so, the radio chatter could be related to that.
Then you have Vladimir Putin subtly suggesting that the US is woefully attempting to goad North Korea into launching a nuclear missile.
Which I cannot argue with. In a lot of ways I see where Vladimir is coming from by suggesting that. With all of Trump’s childish twitter tirades aimed at Kim Jong-un, it’s hard not to come to that conclusion, then you add in all of the sanctions…
To top all of that off, on November 20th Trump put Pyongyang on the list of state sponsors of terrorism, again.
Which is not so new and unusual, they were on the list before.
Kim Jong-un and Trump do so enjoy having a war of words with one another, however Kim Jong-un is fairly reserved in terms of name calling most of the the time.
One thing he has not been reserved on is his promise to bring the united states to her knees.
Lastly, North Korea has been fairly quiet in terms of missile launching since around September 15th. They have not launched a new missile since then so everyone really is wondering what exactly North Korea is up to these days.
Plotting, pillaging or pondering.
Either way you slice it, no one really knows if North Korea is planning a new missile launch or if the radio chatter is related to something else entirely.
All that I personally know is that if you give the US mainstream media half an inch they end up taking an entire mile and running with it.
All while leaving out vital details so as not to cause panic in the public that they so desire watch/read each carefully strewn together news story, that’s missing quite a few details and facts.

Seattle is flooded with rising talent and a tidal wave is going to hit the majors in an unstoppable way in 2018. Apart of the new wave is Syncope Bane. The Seattle-native has been slowing rising to the awareness with his new track, “40 Wounds“. The new track is the promising lead single to Syncope Bane new project entitled, ‘Root of Attraction‘.
A 13-track project of Bane’s introduction to the surface of today’s music and the race to be the next big thing to come out of the North. The project carries a good stride of lyrical consistency. While overthinking on lyrics from time to time, Syncope is at his best on “Quasar”, “Greed”, and “Inside”.
Bane’s style is difficult to hear from time to time. About the games on one track, Bane quickly switches up on the games to the storytelling of explicit situations with twisted results. Bane’s tone remains the same the entire project. Sound more imitated than original often throughout the project, especially on the track, “Crooks”.
Bane impresses with his trend wordplay, speaking of his surroundings, we get a glimpse of what it is like in the inner-city of Seattle. The weather isn’t the only thing cold up north. The production throughout the project also keeps a slow-paced stride to tailor Bane’s style.
“Don’t Say” carries a strong sample and delivers Bane’s best lyrical abilities to-date as the strongest cut on the entire project.
Listen to the complete album here:
[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/playlists/339366336″ params=”color=#ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true” width=”100%” height=”300″ iframe=”true” /]
The attraction to this project is short-lived as production carries a majority of the album but the lyricism never seems to perfectly equal out. Always missing witty, clever, catchy punchlines at the climax of the project. It’s more practical than spectacular in its entirety. But, with a bit of fine tuning, Syncope Bane shows a lot of promise. Wordplay is purified; however, just showing a lot of scars from trial and error.
Diagnosis, exercise to push pass the creative ceiling and Bane will be a true force to be reckoned with in Hip-Hop. Interesting to see what comes next from the act’s following effort.

The California Forward Leadership Council has elected Lenny Mendonca as its co-chair. Mendonca, a senior partner at McKinsey and Company in San Francisco, joins Thomas McKernan, Chairman of AAA Southern California, in leading the bipartisan government reform organization.
Mendonca is well known in California and nationally for helping private organizations and governments solve difficult problems and achieve their goals. His client work at McKinsey, where he has served on the global firm’s board of directors, includes service to corporate, nonprofit and public sector organizations. In addition to serving on California Forward’s Board, Mendonca serves on the boards for the New America Foundation, Common Cause and Children Now among others.
“I’m pleased to accept this position and am excited about helping California Forward and its partners renew the California dream,” said Mendonca. “All of us who care about California realize that changes need to be made, and we also know that California is the best place to transform how democracy works and public goals are achieved.
“In recent years, California Forward has helped to develop the ideas and the networks that can lead to more and better jobs for Californians, cost-effective public services, and open and accountable government,” he said. “In the near term, we expect that effort to yield meaningful results.”
“California Forward is greatly appreciative of Bob’s efforts over the last four years,” said Thomas McKernan. “He is passionate and tireless in the pursuit to make California a better place.”
California Forward has been involved in many of the recent successful efforts that have helped change the way California is governed, including citizens redistricting, the top two primary and term limits. The organization also backed the fiscal reform measure, Proposition 31, which was defeated in November.
In 2011, California Forward partnered with the California Stewardship Network to launch and advance the CA Economic Summit, an ongoing regions-based project to develop and promote action items that will lead to the goals of a prosperous economy, sustainable environment and community equity.
California Forward also is the convener of the Partnership for Community Excellence, a collaborative effort to improve the ability of local governments to deliver cost-effective public services, beginning with the public safety responsibilities recently shifted from the state to county government.
“We are in an era of governmental reform in California,” said Mendonca. “At California Forward, we will continue our work to give Californians what they say they want: a government they can trust.”

"I was delighted to take part in a clinical trial as it has the potential to really help others in the future.”
A trial of vorinostat for advanced mesothelioma
Please note - this trial is no longer recruiting patients. We hope to add results when they are available.
More about this trial
Doctors can treat mesothelioma with chemotherapy. But this type of cancer often comes back and researchers are looking for new treatments to help people in this situation. In this trial they are looking at a drug called vorinostat.
In cancer cells, there are chemical messengers (
Everybody taking part in the trial will have all treatment that is available to help any cancer symptoms and to improve their quality of life. Researchers usually call this best
The aims of the trial are to
- See if vorinostat and best supportive care is better than best supportive care alone for advanced mesothelioma
- Learn more about the side effects
Who can enter
You can enter this trial if you
- Have mesothelioma of the lung that has got worse despite having at least 1 type of chemotherapy
- Are well enough to take part
- Have satisfactory blood test results
- Are at least 18 years old
You cannot enter this trial if you
- Have already had any other drugs that work in a similar way to vorinostat (the trial doctors can advise you about this)
- Have any other cancer apart from mesothelioma
- Are HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C positive
- Are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant
This is an international phase 3 trial that will recruit about 660 people. It is a randomised trial. The people taking part are put into treatment groups by a computer. Neither you nor your doctor will be able to decide which group you are in. And neither of you will know which group you are in. This is called a double blind trial.
Half the people taking part will have vorinostat capsules to swallow twice a day. The other half will take capsules that contain a dummy drug (
Each week, you take the capsules on 3 days, followed by 4 days without treatment. The researchers call every 3 weeks of treatment a treatment cycle.
As long as it is not causing bad side effects, you can carry on having the trial treatment for as long as it helps you. Depending on the results of tests and scans during treatment, the trial doctors may reduce the dose you take, or change the number of days on which you take the capsules.
The researchers will ask you to fill out a questionnaire before you start treatment, at the beginning of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 8th treatment cycles, and when you finish treatment. The questionnaire will ask about any side effects you have had and how you have been feeling. This is called a quality of life study.
You will see the trial doctors and have some tests before you start treatment. The tests include
- Physical examination
- Blood tests
- CT scan
- Heart trace (
- Tests to measure your breathing (
lung function tests)
You go to see the trial doctors twice in the 1st cycle of treatment and once in each cycle you have after that.
You have a CT scan every 7 weeks during the 1st year of treatment. If you carry on having treatment for longer than a year, you will then have a scan every 3 months.
You go back to see the trial doctors about a month after you finish treatment. And you may need to have another scan. They will then continue to monitor your progress every 2 months until the trial is completely finished. This may be at hospital appointments, or a nurse will contact you by phone to see how you are and whether you have started any other treatment.
If you stop having treatment in the first 12 weeks, the researchers will ask you fill out a quality of life questionnaire every 3 weeks up to week 12.
Vorinostat is still quite a new drug and there may be side effects we don’t know about yet. The most common known side effects include
- Tiredness (fatigue)
- Diarrhoea or constipation
- Poor appetite and taste changes
- Feeling or being sick
- Dry mouth
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- High levels of sugar in your blood
- Changes to the way your kidneys work
- A drop in blood cells causing an increased risk of infection, bleeding problems, tiredness and breathlessness
- Weight loss
How to join a clinical trial
Please note: In order to join a trial you will need to discuss it with your doctor, unless otherwise specified.

Contemporary grassers The Often Herd, hailing from the north of England, have their debut, full length album set for a June release, and have a new single and music video available now.
Since getting together several years ago, The Often Herd has won international notice, being named the Best European Bluegrass Band of 2018 at the La Roche Bluegrass Festival in France, and performed a virtual showcase at last year’s World of Bluegrass conference.
The band consists of Evan Davies on mandolin, Rupert Hughes on guitar, Niles Krieger on fiddle, and Sam Quintana on bass. They specialize in original material written within the band, typically coming from Hughes and Davies.
Rupert says that their sound is rooted in the songs they compose.
“We don’t try to write bluegrass songs. We just write what comes naturally to us and arrange it using the textures we have at our disposal. Our influences stretch far and wide and that really shows when we convert non-bluegrass audiences to our music.”
Evan agrees, seeing this as the band’s mission.
“This record is a melting pot of all of our experiences and influences. We reflect on our lives as musicians, stories we hear around us, and try to convey a sense of our place in the world whilst also being somewhat introspective. Marrying these ideas with the classic sound and themes of bluegrass isn’t always easy, but for us it’s the only way to go!”
That is what fills their upcoming project, titled Where the Big Lamp Shines, and what they have on offer in this video for Inner Peace, shot around Newburn and Scotswood in Newcastle upon Tyne. It perfectly captures the somewhat eerie vibe of the song. Noel Dashwood joins the band on reso-guitar.
Inner Peace is available now from popular download and streaming services online, and directly from the band on bandcamp. Where the Big Lamp Shines is set for release on June 3.

Women who dress “inappropriately” incite extramarital sex that in turn cause more earthquakes, a senior Iranian hard-line cleric has claimed.
Attractive women who snub traditional Islamic clothing to instead wear fashionable clothes and apply heavy make-up, caused youths in the country to “go astray” and have affairs, Ayatollah Kazem Sedighi said.
The hard-line cleric said as a result the country, bounded by several fault lines, experienced more “calamities” such as earthquakes, the reformist Aftab-e Yazd newspaper reported him saying.
Iran is prone to frequent quakes, many of which have been devastating for the country.
“Many women who dress inappropriately … cause youths to go astray, taint their chastity and incite extramarital sex in society, which increases earthquakes,” he told worshippers at a Tehran prayer service late last week.
“Calamities are the result of people’s deeds.
“We have no way but conform to Islam to ward off dangers.”
The Islamic dress code is mandatory in Iran, which has been under clerical rule for more than three decades.
Every post-pubescent woman regardless of her religion or nationality must cover her hair and bodily contours in public.
Offenders face punishment and fine.
But this has not stopped urban women from appearing in the streets wearing tight coats and flimsy headscarves and layers of skilfully applied make-up.
Experts have warned that a strong quake in Tehran, the Iranian capital, could kill hundreds of thousands of people.
Tehran province has nearly 14 million inhabitants, eight million of whom live in the city, which sits on several fault lines.
Earlier this month, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the country’s president,warned at least five million Tehran residents that they should flee Iran’s capital because it is threatened by earthquakes.
Mr Ahmadinejad said that more than two thirds of Iran’s 74-million-strong population lived in urban areas.
“We cannot predict when an earthquake will happen. But if anything happens to Tehran province’s 13.8 million residents, how can we manage that?” he asked.
The worst in recent times hit the southern city of Bam in December 2003, killing more than 31,000 people – about a quarter of the population – and destroying its ancient mud-built citadel.
Earlier this year the hardline cleric led rallies from Iranian government supporters who denounced opposition students who burned photos of the country’s supreme leader during protests in December.
“The issue has reached a point where the picture of Imam Khomeini is insulted,” he said.
“They questioned things that are sacred.”
He mocked opposition activists who “thought the revolution had been defeated”.

The Monday Evening Book Club will meet at 7:00 pm on Monday, June 10 in the 2nd floor Training Room to discuss the novel Sofie & Cecilia by Katherine Ashenburg.
About the book
In Sofie & Cecilia, beloved non-fiction author and journalist Katherine Ashenburg draws upon her formidable skill and maturity as a writer to craft an extraordinary and splendid debut novel. This is the story of a lifelong female friendship, set in the fascinating art world of Sweden between 1900 and 1940, just as modern art and the beginnings of the Scandinavian mid-century modern design movement were inspiring a creative revolution across northern Europe. Loosely based on the lives of celebrated artists Carl Larsson and Anders Zorn (“Nils Olsson” and “Lars Vogt” in the novel), Ashenburg transports us behind both the public and domestic scenes–and canvasses–of these larger-than-life men to reveal the lesser-known but equally astounding and rich stories of the women who married them: restlessly creative artist-in-her-own-right Sofie Olsson, and fiercely private and intelligent curator Cecilia Vogt.
Here is a gorgeous gem of a book: surprising, unique, layered with insight into the nuances of female friendship as it stretches, changes, and deepens in unexpected ways over a lifetime. Woven effortlessly through this tapestry, like a beautiful motif, is absorbing detail about Scandinavian painting, design, and textile work; European history and sexual politics; the country life, city salons, vibrant art, and folklore of Sweden; and the secrets and challenges of bright, talented women juggling marriage, career, individual aspirations, and family life inside an artist’s household in the early twentieth century.

The Club : a novel
By Takis Wurger
Hans’s English aunt Alex will ensure his application to Cambridge University is accepted, but in return he must help her investigate an elite university club of young aristocrats and wealthy social climbers, the Pitt Club. As Hans makes his best efforts to prove club material, he is drawn into a world of extravagance, debauchery, and macho solidarity. But there are dangerous secrets in the club’s history.
Boy swallows Universe : a novel
By Trent Dalton
This highly praised Australian debut novel is the tale of an adolescent boy on the cusp of discovering the man he will be.Eli Bell’s life is complicated. His father is lost, his mother is in jail, and his stepdad is a heroin dealer. The most steadfast adult in Eli’s life is Slim–a notorious felon and national record-holder for successful prison escapes–who watches over Eli and August, his silent genius of an older brother.
Esa Khattak and Rachel Getty, Community Policing detectives, are sent to the scene of a mass shooting at a mosque in Quebec. Acting as liaisons with the community, they are there to help temper the fear of the residents while dealing with a vicious campaign of racism which has been launched on social media and exploited by a right-wing radio host. So many fingers are pointing in so many different directions. Who are the perpetrators of this horrific crime? And who is shadowing Khattack, watching and knowing his every move? Does it have anything to do with the shooting, or is it something personal?
Khan has brought to the page a story that we have seen played out in far too many communities around the world (most recently in Christchurch, New Zealand). Her depiction of the events in this novel are every bit as gripping, heart-wrenching, and horrifying as those we’ve seen on TV on the evening news.
Such violence can only create greater rifts between the different factions in this community, and while Esa and Rachel work to prevent further escalation of these rifts, their relationship as partners is put to the test.
This is by far, Khan’s best book yet in this series.

Dominican Republic: More than 80% of banana is organic and exported
The Dominican banana sector generates US $420 million a year and creates more than 32,000 jobs, 44% of which are permanent and 12% of which are for women.
This data was revealed on Tuesday during a meeting of the Steering Committee of the Accompanying Measures for Bananas Program that was held in the Dominican Agribusiness Board (JAD).
During the meeting, authorities reported that more than 80% of the country's banana production was organic and intended for export.
The main achievements of the Banana Accompanying Measures (BAM) program, which has a budget of 1,000 million Dominican pesos, more than 900 million of which were financed by the Union European, were also presented in the meeting.
The Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Natural Resources, and the Minister of Economy, Planning and Development, Mr. Angel Estevez and Bautista Rojas Gomez, respectively, as well as the Ambassador of the European Union in the country, Alberto Navarro, and Osmar Benitez , chief executive of the JAD, attended the meeting.
Thanks to the goals they have achieved via this project, the National Phytosanitary Committee gave the Ministry of Agriculture a resolution which shows how much the conditions of proper management in local production have advanced and that places the country at the level of international standards for exportable banana.
The CEO of the JAD, Osmar Benitez, highlighted the growth experienced by the banana sector in the Dominican Republic through the BAM program, which has placed the country as a leader in organic banana exports to Europe.
Currently, the Dominican Republic has around 270,000 hectares devoted to banana production.

Southeast Asia Centre of Asia-Pacific Excellence, in collaboration with The Asia Forum, invites you to an in-person discussion on “The Taiwan Straits” in Wellington.
Ford Hart will discuss the situation in the Taiwan Strait and its importance for New Zealand. Ford is a former US diplomat now residing in Wellington who worked repeatedly on Taiwan issues over a long career, including at the White House as Director for China and Taiwan on the National Security Council staff and during assignments at the State Department, the Pentagon, and the US Embassy in Beijing. Ford will share his personal opinions on prospects for stability in the Strait and New Zealand’s stakes in peace there.
Ford Hart is a former American diplomat whose involvement in U.S.-China relations stretched from the early days of reform and opening to the Xi Jinping era. He capped off a distinguished 33-year career with assignment as U.S. Consul General to Hong Kong and Macau, an ambassadorial-level position. In addition to three postings to Mainland China, Ford also served overseas in the USSR, Iraq, and Taiwan. Before Hong Kong, he was the Special Envoy for the Six-Party Talks on North Korean nuclear weapons, for which President Obama accorded him the personal rank of ambassador. Ford served at the White House as the National Security Council’s China and Taiwan Director, and at the Pentagon he was foreign policy advisor to the Chief of Naval Operations. In other assignments in Washington, Ford worked on U.S.-China relations, Taiwan policy, Kazakhstan, crisis management, and post-conflict stabilization.
Ford advises Fluidity Operations LLC, a blockchain technology holding firm, on government relations, regulation, and Asian affairs. He is also Senior Advisor to Bower Group Asia, a government relations consultancy. Ford is a Member of the Council on Foreign Relations and a recipient of the State Department’s highest commendation for diplomatic reporting, and he holds a master’s degree from the University of Virginia.

LONDON, Sept. 3 (Xinhua) -- Real Madrid's Welsh international forward Gareth Bale says he would be open to returning to the Premier League but insists that so far Real Madrid have blocked his attempts to leave.
Meanwhile United coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer commented that he was pleased with what the talented playmaker could bring to his team.
Fiorentina loanee Pedro put the visitors ahead in just the second minute by pouncing on an errant pass and sliding home from close range.
Nouri suffered brain damage after having a heart attack during a game in 2017.
Before the game, Dalian ranked seventh with six points in the eight-team division in northeastern China's Dalian city, while Henan, also on six points, sat at the bottom by virtue of their inferior goal difference.
"Our original partnership was mainly focused on the World Cup in China. We are thrilled that this has now expanded to be a more all-encompassing partnership across all FIBA competitions."
"In the end it got too dark to go for 6.15 meters and I felt it was unsafe to continue any further," said the world silver medalist. "I felt I was in the zone. But you have to be prudent."
The 31-year-old's poor relationship with Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is well documented and was made clear when Zidane only used him in two of the 12 games his side played when Spanish football resumed in June after lockdown.
Photos of Bale in the stands in those games showed the forward looking bored and willing to show that boredom by appearing to be half asleep at times, knowing he would not play.
Qingdao stormed to a 4-0 lead after they took victories in mixed doubles, men's singles, women's doubles and women's singles. However, men's doubles young pair Guo Ruohan and Shang Yichen defended some honor for Xiamen as they overcame a one game deficit to beat world champion Liu Yuchen and his partner Guo Junhao 9-11, 11-8, 11-9, 11-9 in the final dual.

If you know your Rare history, you probably know that Conker's Bad Fur Day began life as a tame, kid-friendly game and evolved into the foul-mouthed 'mature' title that reached your Nintendo 64. Have you wondered what that original squirrel adventure looked like in action, however? Rare is happy to help. It just posted unreleased footage of the game when it was still known as Twelve Tales: Conker 64. To say that this early version was playing it safe would be an understatement. As you'll see below, Conker's companion Berry (aka Berri) wasn't nearly so sexualized. Meanwhile, the gameplay mechanics involved innocuous things like unicycles and differently-themed hats -- no feces monsters here.
The peek helps you get a sense of why Rare pushed Conker in a very different direction. Twelve Tales was going to be just another 3D platformer with a cutesy mascot, and that was an especially big problem when Rare's own Banjo-Kazooie largely covered the same turf. While you could criticize Bad Fur Day for going too far in the other direction and chasing offensiveness for its own sake, the end result at least stood out in a crowded field.

For many businesses, a prominent barrier to creating a fully inclusive workplace is misinterpretation and a too-narrow focus. For instance, an employer may look to create a more gender-neutral recruitment process, but by honing in on only one diversity issue, others can get left behind. In this case while strides may be made towards reaching gender equality, people of different races, religions or sexual orientations may remain isolated.
One of the best ways to tackle such misinterpretation is by championing representation through Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). These voluntary, employee-led networks consist of individuals from different communities who share a common goal to promote diversity at work, and can be a great way to get insights on building more inclusive workplaces from those who are impacted the most.
Their value is no secret, as according to the Employer Assistance and Resource Network, ERGs can be found in 90 per cent of Fortune 500 companies. To remain competitive, it is therefore key that employers understand how to establish employee networks, the role they play within the company and how to effectively manage them once they are up and running.
How to create an Employee Resource Group
First and foremost, business leaders must gauge interest and recognise what areas need to be addressed. This could be through an employee feedback survey that gives staff the opportunity to anonymously voice their opinions and concerns on particular issues – for example sense of belonging, how welcome they feel in the organisation, or the representation of certain groups in the workplace. If the survey results suggest there is suitable demand, the next step is to appoint a network lead.
The network lead is the primary point of contact within the ERG and bridges the gap between employees and senior management. It’s important that network leads are representative of the communities they are trying to support, and are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge they need to run the group effectively. To facilitate this, it is good practice to provide network leads with training sessions and a development programme where they can learn how to set the remit for a network, recruit and manage members, market the group, and work with both stakeholders and other networks.
In terms of group members, anyone within the organisation can join, and staff don’t necessarily have to share characteristics of any particular group. People can join as peers or allies to share their solidarity and support for the cause.
What an Employee Resource Group does
The core purpose of an ERG is to increase the representation and awareness of particular groups, and make the workplace a more inclusive place for them to work. This can be achieved in a number of ways, for instance by showcasing role models for other individuals to look up to. Ideally, this would be somebody in a significant role at the organisation who has plenty of exposure. This can inspire other employees and make them feel less isolated.
ERGs can also spread awareness by hosting events, such as seminars, workshops, charity fundraisers, or leading campaigns. Campaigns can either be run in the workplace, for example designing and putting up posters throughout the office, online on social media, or via the company website.Awareness and representation are particularly important during the onboarding of new recruits – if they can easily identify a community they can be a part of, it ensures they will feel welcome in the organisation from day one and are likely to stay with their employer for longer.
However, the role of employee resource groups is not limited to just promoting awareness – and in fact, goes far beyond it. In practice, they can be extremely influential on company procedure, particularly in terms of policy creation and correction. When designing new company policies, employers should run plans past the network leads and consult ERG members to gain valuable insight on the inclusiveness of the proposed strategy. Employers can also collect feedback on existing policies to gauge how well they’re performing and determine whether any action is required. Employers are likely to find that they can learn an awful lot from network members, especially those individuals who have experienced discrimination in their past.
Managing an ERG once operational
Once a network is up and running, it’s important to take a step back and allow the group to take the reins and manage proceedings themselves. Overseeing activity, and perhaps helping shape the direction of the group, can sit with senior leadership, but ultimately they should leave the group to it. To execute this, employers can help set objectives for the month or quarter, and check in on progress at regular intervals. Employers should also provide the means for the group to achieve these objectives, whether that be through general funding, facilitating time for the group to hold meetings, providing a venue for such meetings, or offering assistance when it comes to arranging events.
Some senior team members might want to put themselves forward as an executive sponsor of a group. This would help raise the group’s profile within the organisation and extend their overall influence as a result. This involvement would go a long way to promoting and publicising the existence of such networks, advertising to people within the company and elsewhere that the business is serious about diversity and inclusion.
What do Employee Resource Groups bring to an organisation?
ERGs educate employees and leaders on challenges facing different communities in the workplace and help address these issues through grass roots action driven by members of these communities themselves.
However, this isn’t the only benefit these networks bring to an organisation. ERGs can lead to more inclusive recruitment practice, higher retention rates, more inclusive policies, the identification of future leaders and the development of a robust talent pipeline.

Each year on the ninth month of the Islam lunar calendar, Muslims all over the World partake in Ramadan, which is a month of fasting. During this month of fasting, Muslims refrain from dawn until sunset from eating, drinking, and sexual relations, as well as, generally sinful speech and behavior Did the rest of the World know that, there are some unexpected health benefits of Ramadan?
During the fast, dates provide much-needed fibre, which aids and improves digestion throughout Ramadan. Dates also have high levels of potassium, magnesium and B vitamins, making it one of the healthiest fruits to eat during a fast. Typically three dates are eaten at the start of Iftar every day during Ramadan for spiritual reasons. Did you know that doing this comes with multiple health benefits? During the fast, it’s important to get the right amount of energy, and considering an average serving of dates contains 31 grams of carbohydrates, this is one of the perfect foods to give you an energy boost.
The fast during Ramadan acts as an excellent detox for your body. It has also spiritual cleansing benefits. Fasting throughout the day gives your body a rare chance to detoxify your digestive system throughout the month. When your body starts eating into fat reserves to create energy, it will also burn away any harmful toxins that might be present in fat deposits. Now that’s a great health benefit from fasting for a month.
Breaking bad habits
Ramadan is seen as the perfect time to be rid of your bad habits for good. Bad habits such as smoking and eating high fat and sugary foods should not be eaten too much during Ramadan, therefore, as you abstain from these foods your body will gradually change until your addiction is kicked for good. It’s also much easier to quit habits when you do so in a group, which should be easy to find during Ramadan. The UK’s National Health Service even recommends this fasting period as the ideal time to quit smoking.
Boosting your brain
The brain-boosting powers of Ramadan are so significant that non-Muslims would be wise to consider the following information. A study carried out US scientists found that the mental focus achieved during Ramadan increases the level of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which causes the body to produce more brain cells, thus improving brain function. Likewise, a distinct reduction in the amount of the hormone cortisol, produced by the adrenal gland, means that stress levels are greatly reduced both during and after Ramadan. There are positive effects fasting can have on your mental wellbeing and spiritual focus too.
Lasting appetite reduction
If you want to get into the habit of healthy eating and losing weight and keeping it off then Ramadan is a great fast to do. One of the main problems with many fad Western diets is that any weight lost is often quickly put back on and sometimes even more. This isn’t the case with Ramadan. The reduction in food consumed throughout fasting causes your stomach to gradually shrink, meaning you’ll need to eat less food to feel full. When it’s finished your appetite will be lower than it was before, and you’ll be far less likely to overindulge with your eating.
Absorb more nutrients
Doing the Ramadan fast means that your body’s metabolism becomes more efficient, meaning the amount of nutrients you absorb from food improves. This is because of an increase in a hormone called adiponectin, which is produced by a combination of fasting and eating late at night, and allows your muscles to absorb more nutrients. This will lead to health benefits all around the body, as various areas are able to better absorb and make use of the nutrients they need to function


The PSU – Coal India Limited rises to the occasion, where are the Adanis and Ambanis?
On one hand, the Modi government is seeking to disinvest the Public Sector Undertaking, another public sector giant and thousands of workers are toiling 24 hours daily so that the nation remains lit and there is no shortage of electricity. It is for the first time the nation is seeing such an emergency due to a shortage of coal.
17 states have been experiencing declared and undeclared power outages. The whole country is looking expectantly towards Coal India Limited. Coal India Limited caters to 80% of the coal requirements of the country. Of this 24% is catered to by Jharkhand alone.
All officials and workers of Coal India Limited have risen to the occasion brilliantly and many officers have made the coal fields their temporary home. A workforce of 50,000 people is working round the clock to keep the power plants operational. In the past 12 days, 22 lakh tones of coal have been dispatched around the country from 63 collieries.
Every day 37 rakes of coal are being sent to different power stations scattered in the states of U.P, Bihar, Punjab, Harayana, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Karnataka. This is 25% more than last year. According to a CCL officer, daily 1.81 thousand tonnes of coal is being produced. Chairman Coal India, Pramod Agrawal said that the Coal crisis will be over in a week.
There is good news on the Power generation side also. Power System Operation Corporation (POSOCO) has stated that the shortfall in power output of 11,000 MW on 12 October has reduced to 6000 MW on 13 October. This has stabilized the supply versus demand ratio to a large extent.
Coal India Limited is also working round the clock to ensure supplies of coal to thermal power plants are maintained without any gap. It is now producing 1.88 million tons of coal which is more than the monthly average of 1.75 million tons. Coal India has stated that it has 40 million tons of coal on its pitheads. Production has been ramped up by 7% in the past 12 days and when the workers return after the Dusshera holidays, the production will rise further.
Public Sector Undertakings are run with a social cause and not upon returns. It is time that this government understands that when it comes to nation-building, the private, corporate world will never rise to the challenge. It will instead try to profit from the situation and this is the essence of capitalism. An example of capitalism is Moderna Vaccine considered the best Vaccine against COVID-19 refuses to cut down prices or ramp up production to fulfil the demands in third world countries.

Please correct the following error(s):
Combining an Everest Base camp trek with the aspirational experience of exploring Island Peak makes infinite sense. This is a truly epic partnering for those who love mountaineering and trekking, and for anyone who has ever dreamed of reaching the top of the world.
Nepal Mountain Trekkers make this challenging double act a reality. We provide the support and equipment to journey from Everest Base Camp, up Kala Patar to the next valley and Island Peak. We allow time to adapt to the environment and enjoy the full island Peak experience which for many is the “pinnacle” of mountaineering. It’s possible to adapt the expedition to those climbing in the Himalayas for the first time.
Everest needs no introduction, but what makes expeditions around Island Peak such a magnet?
Officially called Imja Tse, this 6,189 m (20,305 ft) mountain is in the beautiful Sagarmatha National Park, in eastern Nepal. It earned its popular name when members of the 1953 British Mount Everest expedition likened it to a beguiling island in a sea of ice.
Trekking in the Himalayas to Everest Base Camp is now a much-sought-after experience. For those seeking an even greater challenge, the technical requirements of Island Peak are ideal. Whereas many trekking expeditions in Nepal are possible without specialist equipment or intensive preparation, Island Peak requires more planning.
For this reason, Island Peak has a difficulty rating of Alpine Grade PD+. It generally requires 20-day expeditions, beginning from Kathmandu.
The view from the top is of course, unrivalled. The summit ridge reveals the splendour of Ama Dablam, the south face of Lhotse and Baruntse and Makalu in the distance.
The geographical magnificence to be found on a combined Everest Base Camp and Island Peak Climbing trip is matched by other unspoiled wonders.
Sagarmatha National Park is a Natural World Heritage Site. Expect to see mountain wildlife, flora and fauna at its most abundant; beginning with lush forests on lower slopes and giving way to hardy alpine plants as you ascend. BirdLife International endowed the park with the status of Important Bird Area.
Trekking and climbing in this region also offer wonderful glimpses of village life, Nelapese culture and fascinating Buddhist monasteries. The welcome is always warm.
As this combination is demanding, though it doesn’t require vast climbing experience it does demand a good level of fitness. The basic level would be experience and confidence trekking with crampons and an ice pick.
Nepal Mountain Trekkers will go through detailed preparations and Health & Safety requirements for Island Peak with you when you contact us for more information. However, we make sure all relevant equipment and climbing gears are available and thoroughly safety checked.
Our excellent working relationship with local Sherpas means you can enjoy the climb without carrying heavy equipment and you have unique insights into any risks offered by major crevasses and the likelihood of an avalanche.
One of the reasons this combination is so wonderfully inviting is that it is possible for us to apply for climbing permits year round, and provide unforgettable experiences to suit your itinerary. After saying that, the optimum time to explore Everest Base Camp and Island Peak is September-December and March-May when the weather tends to be most favourable.
For more details of the best mountaineering expeditions "double act", call us today.
While you are on Everest Base Camp with Island Peak Climbing, you can get access to electricity or solar energy for charging your electronic devices at lodges and tea-houses but you might only get access to the two-pin adapter so you should bring conversion plug or another converter if your device charger is not suitable with two-pin plug. And while you stay overnight in tent-camps, it is recommended to have your own power supply if possible.
Yes, in most of the lodges and tea-houses, the telephone and internet facilities are available during your trek. But in some places, they might charge some amount for the service as well as you can also use mobile data during your trek for Internet and communication.
Well, the tip for guide and other trekking staffs like porters and drivers is not mandatory but since they contribute their time apart from family to make you enjoy the best of your trip ensuring your safety and satisfaction, we recommend you to contribute some amount of tip for them. In Nepal, it is practised that 10% of the total amount you pay for your trek and tour is contributed as a tip.
You can use ATM and Credit Cards to withdraw money during Everest Base Camp with Island Peak Climbing only at specific and major places like Kathmandu, Lukla and Namche Bazaar.

Yes, you will need a special permit for Everest Base Camp with Island Peak because you will trek thru Sagarmatha National Park, you would need to have Sagarmatha National Park Special Permit, Peak Climbing Permit and Trekkers Information Management System (TIMS).
The trek could be extremely adventurous and exciting for solo trekkers and since you will be walking through off-the-beaten paths, it is somehow risky for the solo trekker and solo female trekkers. You need to be aware and capable of handling several situations in order to prevent from obligations and challenges during the trek. So, at least a highly experienced and certified trekking guide is needed for this trek even for solo trekkers.

Hence, you should buy bottled waters or should have water purifying pills or any other equipment to ensure drinking safe water.
It is necessary to take a highly experienced and licensed guide to instruct you and help you explore the best of this trek as well as to take care of you during the trek.

Everest Base Camp with Island Peak Climbing can be best experienced during the months of Late February, March, April May, September, October, November and early December.
The earthquake of 2015 had an adverse effect on the trekking trails and the local inhabitants back then but now after the patience and positive attitude of the people along with their effort and collaboration from several donors, the trails are totally recovered and fine for trekking again. Though the lifestyle of people is somehow still lagged behind in some reasons because of trekkers and their contributions, they’ve got a light of hope that they will rise again.
Everest Base Camp with Island Peak Climbing is one of the physically demanding and arduous trekking experience with difficult trails and high passes included in the trek so you would need to be in good physical shape. However, the previous climbing experience is not mandatory for this trek.
Everest Base Camp with Island Peak Climbing give us an opportunity to step at the base camp of highest Himalaya and then scale the popular Island Peak which is also known as ‘Imja Tse’ in the local language. The major highlights of this trip are spectacular views of highest Himalayas especially from Kalapathar viewpoint; visiting monasteries, exploring cultures and traditions of local inhabitants; and gaining that exquisite feeling of adventure while being at the summit of Island Peak.
Generally, Everest Base Camp with Island Peak Climbing is 18-22 days long but you can customize/personalize the trekking days and the itinerary according to your requirement with Nepal Mountain Trekkers.
That was an absolutely wonderful adventure!!! The trek to Everest BC is one of the most picturesque I think! The views of the highest mountains are just breathtaking! And if you love mountains, you should try your holidays in the Himalayas! If you want something more than just a trek, maybe you should try to climb Imja Tse? That was the adventure of my life! Quite difficult, but not killing. And safe, because we were guided by professionals: guides from the Nepal Mountain Trekkers headed by Ramesh, who had organised everything really well. I must admit, that our guides were not only very nice, but also very careful and helpful. Unfortunately some of us have finished this adventure in the hospital due to acute mountain sickness and acute pneumonia, but even such an incident was not too difficult thanks to enormous help from Ramesh and our guides. They organised a helicopter transfer to the hospital in Kathmandu and Ramesh helped in all formalities. He is a very careful, responisble and trustworthy person. And a lover of mountains! I look forward to the next Himalayan expedition with the Nepal Mountain Trekkers!
