If you bike along the scenic, border-crossing Vennbahn, or Fen Railway, you’ll pass through a section that’s in Belgium, but where Germany is visible to your left and right—an unusual legacy of the days when Europe’s borders were more contentious and fluid.
Constructed by the Prussian State Railway around 1889, the Vennbahn traversed land which, on German unification about 40 years earlier, had become German territory. After WWI, though, the many border changes mandated by the Treaty of Versailles handed the trackbed, the stations, and the infrastructure to Belgium. This provisional change, which was soon made permanent, created a narrow strip of Belgium that formed six German enclaves cut off from the rest of Germany by the railway system. During WWII, Germany invaded Belgium and took control of the line, but after the war, Belgium reassumed sovereignty of the railway.
During the late 1940s and early 1950s, some of the enclaves became centers of large-scale coffee smuggling into Germany from Belgium, since duties made coffee much more expensive in Germany. The area became known as the “Aachen Coffee Front” or the “Sinful Frontier.”
The railway closed in 2002, and work started to create the 125-kilometer (78-mile) cycle route along its path from Aachen in Germany through Belgium proper and onto Troisvierges in Luxembourg. The route passes through scenic countryside and small towns, and by historic sites and convenient rest areas. Cycling the full route takes one through three countries and includes many border crossings, many of them barely noticeable, which shows how this geographic anomaly has become an excellent example of cooperation within the European Union.
Know Before You Go
The cycle path is paved almost everywhere and is mostly flat.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Direct financial assistance may be coming soon for people living in Austin. Mayor Pro Tem Delia Garza told KXAN she’s working on a resolution that would provide help to Austin residents who are struggling financially during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Last week, the Austin City Council passed an emergency anti-eviction ordinance that gives people a 60-day grace period to work out a payment plan with their landlords if they can’t pay their April and May rent.
- READ: Can’t pay rent in Austin? Austin City Council set to vote on emergency anti-eviction ordinance Thursday
Garza said, however, the council heard “loud and clear” from people who are worried about not being able to pay their rents even after the 60-day grace period because they’ve lost their jobs.
Garza explained, “We’re not re-inventing anything. We’re just seeing an incredible increase in need for things families needed help with before this even happened.”
According to the Mayor Pro Tem, the resolution will include “cash payments for rental assistance, vouchers for diapers, vouchers for food” and help for domestic violence victims to find an alternate place to stay during the Stay Home Work Safe Order so they’re not staying home with their abusers.
The city is not allowed to give money directly to its citizens; therefore, Garza said, the proposal will utilize existing and new nonprofits.
The city would give those organizations funding. Then the nonprofits would distribute vouchers to people who qualify.
“If we started a whole new program, it would take months for the city to create the system, create the rules, to create the framework,” Garza said. “The goal is this is fast, reach those who need this aid as quickly as possible.”
Jazz pianist Austin Kimble told KXAN any type of immediate assistance is welcome, especially for artists in the city.
“All of my work suddenly stopped with the exception for being able to teach some private lessons,” he said.
Kimble said he tried to file for unemployment, but was told by the Texas Workforce Commission the federal stimulus package qualifying self-employed people for unemployment insurance is not in effect yet.
“I think what really needs to happen is they need to get that connection [with the federal government] so that we can get some answers,” Kimble said. “Right now, I don’t even know should I re-apply for unemployment. Do I need to wait a little bit? There’s not really any guidelines or descriptions as to what to do or how to proceed.”
He said he also worries about the future of the arts industry.
“Hopefully things will come back to normal-ish, but I’m worried that a lot of these connections might not exist anymore. Maybe some of the venues that were playing are going to be shut down and not reopen,” said Kimble.
He said artists who lost their gigs need help now. “Right now, we’re in this waiting period. We know there’s help out there. It’s not really making its way to us and it needs to get here soon.”
The city council would have to approve Garza’s proposal at its April 9th meeting for it to go into effect. There’s also an item on that day’s agenda asking banks to waive late fees and give people more time to make mortgage payments.

Words of wisdom, passionate speeches and a call to action were given at the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. convocation on Thursday in Gaither Gymnasium.
Keynote speaker Andrew Gillum, a city commissioner and FAMU alumnus, explained to students that they were exceptional leaders and charged them to make a difference at FAMU and in their communities, nation and world.
“Even when you think you’ve done all that you can, there’s still much more,” he urged.
Reminding students of the many civil rights battles that were fought for blacks in the 1960s, Gillum shared the story of Fannie Lou Hamer, the Mississippi freedom fighter famous for her words, “I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired.”
Gillum also expressed the need and importance of voting.
“We don’t have to battle the constant harassment, or blowing up of our homes,” he said. “By what authority do we have to give up the right to vote?”
Students were inspired by Gillum’s speech and were influenced by his message.
“I thought it was very inspiring,” said Dana Jennings.”I think his accomplishments are uplifting for the students and they give us something to look forward to as far as giving back to the community,” said Jennings, a 21-year-old senior psychology student from Montgomery, Ala.
Gillum said that King’s dream of equality is being made manifest through the growing rates of blacks entering college. He also said that students have a responsibility to demonstrate loyalty to the university and to accept personal contributions to the problems that exist.
Octavias Daniels, an 18-year-old freshman political science student from Gainesville said that attending convocation motivated him to volunteer in the Tallahassee community and to encourage his peers to do the same.
“It inspired me to do more and give back to my community. I can start volunteering and putting service hours in at the residential neighborhoods in Tallahassee,” Daniels stated.
Shelly Stephens, a 20-year-old junior biology major from Columbia, S.C., felt that Gillum’s call for students to do more was appropriate.
“I think that was good because a lot of students just come to FAMU then leave, instead of coming to make it better for the students that are here and those who are to come,” said Stephens.
Gillum closed his message by encouraging students to look beyond perceived limitations and to constantly pursue the goal of making a lasting impact.
“All you need is a brain to think with, a heart to love and care with, and a will to make a difference.

Fringing coral reefs provide a sheltered habitat for many sea animals and are a snorkelers’ paradise. But they also form a natural barrier which protects the shoreline and the area further inland. Experiments using 3D printed replicas of a coral are helping Marion Tissier gain an insight into how coral reefs influence and dampen wave energy. This knowledge will ultimately help designing coral restoration programmes that efficiently contribute to the protection of these vulnerable coasts.
Growing up near the popular surfing beaches of Biarritz, Marion Tissier watched the powerful waves of the Atlantic Ocean batter the coast from a young age. The sight inspired in her a love of surfing as well as a fascination with waves. ‘During my studies and my PhD in Bordeaux and in my time as a postdoc at Utrecht University I always went back to waves and their changing patterns as they approach the coast. What happens to their shape and height? How much energy is lost before they hit the shore? How do waves interact? And how does all that ultimately influence the shoreline motion and wave impact on the coast?’
Coral reef coasts
The focus of Tissier’s research at TU Delft switched from sandy coasts to coral reef coasts, which she says are among the most complex coastal systems. ‘Contrary to a ‘normal’ sandy coast the seabed of a coral reef coast does not descend gradually. The coral reef usually sits on a comparatively even seabed at about 1,5 metre depth, with a sudden sheer drop at the edge of the reef. That abrupt change of seabed level functions as a wave breaker in major storms. The shape and texture of the reef itself also have an attenuating effect on the impact of the waves. However, some types of wave actually gather strength when they hit the reef under certain circumstances which leads to higher sea levels off the coast.’
Coral under threat
Climate change is a big threat to coral reefs, Tissier says. ‘Global warming and the acidification of ocean water cause bleaching, which makes the corals more fragile and vulnerable to diseases and decrease the speed at which the coral reef is able to grow. Apart from their natural value, coral reefs also have a societal value. Their ability to break the waves protects the shoreline and prevents the coral islands from flooding. Unfortunately, the decline of the reefs affects that very important function. And the fact that coral reefs are often found around low-lying islands means these coasts are extra vulnerable to the dangers of sea level rise.'
Not much is known about how exactly the presence of coral reefs change the waves as they approach the coast, Tissier says. ‘We don’t yet have a complete understanding of wave patterns in a complex reef environment. We don’t really know, for instance, in which situations the reefs limit or strengthen the growth of long waves. It’s this lack of knowledge that makes it difficult to predict extreme high-water conditions. In my research I try to better understand the wave processes to predict the wave conditions on the beach, the movement of the coastline and possible floods. The more we find out the better we can develop adaptive strategies for coastal defence, including coral reef restoration programmes.’
3D coral replicas
To gain a better understanding of the wave patterns Tissier built her own coral reef at TU Delft’s Waterlab. Collaborating master student Paul van Wiechen moulded 384 3D resin replicas of pieces of coral which they put in a big basin. Tissier: ‘Earlier experiments were using pieces that were much simpler in shape, such as cylinders. But Paul’s 3D replicas are much more realistic and detailed. To mimic real world circumstances, we expose the coral to powerful swell waves as well as long waves. We vary the amount of corals in the basin and also change the space between the pieces. Then we look at what happens to the waves and measure how much energy they lose because of the presence of the coral.’
Upscaling the experiments
But despite the more sophisticated set-up at the Waterlab it has proved difficult to replicate the exact circumstances surrounding real coral reefs. ‘We have reasonably accurate scale models of the corals but to scale down the physical elements, such as turbulence for example, is much trickier. We would like to upscale our experiments but to do that we will need a much bigger volume of water. In a next step I aim to use one of the biggest wave flumes available such as the Delta Flume located at Deltares. This flume is 300 metres long and 9.5 metres deep. That will enable us to generate waves of up 4.5 metres in height. We also want to replicate more types of corals to make our coral reef more realistic and we want to do measurements on a more detailed level, for instance measure how the water is moving in between the corals as the waves pass by. That determines how much energy the waves are losing in the process, but also the impact of the waves on the corals’.
Because of her recent work wave woman Tissier has become more of a reef lady. ‘I am learning an awful lot about coral reefs and about the interaction between hydrological and ecological processes. Coral reefs break waves, but they also need the nutrients carried by the waves to survive. My focus on coral reefs as a coastal engineer is different from that of an ecologist. I look at where they can do the most good for the protection of the coast while an ecologist will concentrate on the best circumstances for the corals to flourish. But we can’t look at the one without understanding the other. That is why cooperation between both disciplines is so important.

A cultural center in Senegal is creating a safe space where artists can use their platform to speak about climate change while also finding opportunities in the art and music scene.
By day, Saint-Louis native Pape Dieye is a boat captain-turned-tour guide for a fancy hotel that caters to Westerners. By night, he turns down requests to smuggle human beings across the ocean.
The challenges facing Africa are real, but depending on who you talk to, the solution is either to risk it all for a better life in Europe or stay on the continent and fight for a better future there.
The UNESCO World Heritage city of Saint-Louis is perched precariously between the Atlantic Ocean and the Senegal River. And it's on borrowed time.
Sweeping global trends are changing the world. As climate change heats up the planet and pushes people to migrate, far-right politicians see both a threat and an opportunity.
The U.S. endured 18 separate billion-dollar disasters in 2022, highlighting the growing damages of human-caused climate change.
Spain a prolific producer of strawberries, and the jurisdiction of Huelva is where 80% of the country's berries are grown, in an industry that is increasingly demanding.
Serigne Mbaye's journey is parallel to the larger picture of how climate migration intersects with politics. Now, he is considered one of the most vocal politicians in Madrid for migrant rights.
Some Senegalese manteros spend years selling goods on the streets of Madrid and trying to avoid harassment from police as they wait for visas and work documents.
Migrants spend years trying to get to Melilla, Spain — an enclave city on the African continent. It's a perilous journey that led to dozens of deaths in June.
The city of Nador, Morocco is Europe's southernmost border and a gateway for migrants from Africa in search of better opportunities. But attempting to cross that border can turn deadly.
People from all over West Africa come to Rufisque in western Senegal to labor in the lettuce fields – planting seeds and harvesting vegetables.
Yaram Fall is staunchly against people leaving Africa to build their lives elsewhere. "The development of Africa comes from its own people," she says.
Years of captaining a boat have shaped Pape Dieye's calm and reassuring presence in Senegal. These qualities have also caught the eye of people hoping to make the dangerous journey to Europe.

Losers of four straight and with their playoff dreams quickly fading, the Jets have decided to change quarterbacks.
After initially balking at the idea, coach Todd Bowles announced on Wednesday that Geno Smith will take over for Ryan Fitzpatrick on Sunday against the Ravens.
Whenever a franchise-altering decision like this is made it’s always assumed the owner played a role in it, especially with the Jets. However, Woody Johnson wants you to know that it was completely Bowles’ decision to change quarterbacks and he’s A-Ok with it.
“The coach made the decision,” Johnson told Ian Rapaport of NFL Network. “I back him 100 percent.”
While things certainly haven’t gone according to plan thus far in 2016, Johnson has no ambition of making changes to the organization’s hierarchy, stating that he has full confidence in Bowles and general manager Mike Maccagnan, despite the 1-5 start.
“We got 10 games to go,” Johnson continued. “I’m very confident with Todd Bowles and Mike. I think we’ve got an excellent team. I really respect Todd. I know he’s doing what he’s going to do. It’s football. He’s a good coach. I have long-term confidence in him and in Mike and in their teams.
“That’s the way I feel. Onward and outward. We’ve had a tough schedule. It’s no excuse. We’ve been in some games. But Monday night was…we’ve got to be better than that.”

These brown butter carrot cake cupcakes are topped with the most heavenly brown butter cream cheese frosting! With shredded carrots, walnuts, and warming spices like cinnamon, they're the perfect Easter dessert!
If you need some more Easter recipes, you might also like these Robin's egg macarons!
You just need a few simple ingredients to make these fluffy, moist carrot cake cupcakes!
- Cake flour - I always use cake flour in my cupcakes because it makes them super soft and tender, but all purpose flour also works great!
- Carrots - It's important to grate fresh carrots yourself for these cupcakes! Pre-grated carrots are very dry and won't add enough moisture to the cake.
- Yogurt - The yogurt keeps the cupcakes super moist while also adding a bit of tang! You always want to use full fat yogurt in baking for the best results! You could also use full fat sour cream or unsweetened applesauce!
- Walnuts - I love adding nuts to carrot cake for added texture! But feel free to leave them out or substitute pecans! You could also add in raisins or shredded coconut if you prefer.
- Warming spices - These cupcakes are lightly spiced with a combo of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- Brown butter - My favorite ingredient of all time is brown butter!! Brown butter is just unsalted butter that has been melted and gently cooked to bring out a toasty, nutty flavor. If you've never made brown butter before, you can check out this post with all my tips for how to make brown butter!
I recommend making the brown butter the night before you make the cupcakes, so that it has time to fully cool to room temperature!
Since both the cupcakes and the frosting call for brown butter, I find it easier to just make one large batch and then weigh out the difference using a kitchen scale (½ cup of butter weighs about 113 grams).
However, if you don't have a scale you can just make two separate batches of brown butter!
How to Make Carrot Cake Cupcakes
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 12 cup cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
Finely grate the carrots until you have 1 lightly packed cup. Set aside.
Whisk the cake flour, baking powder, spices, and salt together in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk the brown butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract together until fully incorporated.
Add in the grated carrots and yogurt and mix until combined.
Stir in the dry ingredients. Then gently fold in the chopped walnuts.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter into each cupcake liner (they should be about halfway full).
Bake at 350°F for 18-22 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
Remove from pan and let cool on wire rack.
Let the carrot cake cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
Tips for the Best Baked Goods
Use room temperature ingredients! Always make sure ingredients like butter, eggs, milk, yogurt, etc. are at room temperature before baking (unless the recipe indicates otherwise)! This ensures they'll incorporate into the batter more easily and leads to overall better texture. Remove all ingredients from the fridge 30 minutes to an hour before baking for best results.
Measure your flour correctly! It's most accurate to use a kitchen scale, but if you're measuring by volume you want to spoon and level! Fluff up the flour a bit with a spoon, and then spoon flour into the measuring cup. Once it's overflowing, use the back of a knife to level it off. Don't ever pack flour into the measuring cup or you'll end up with way too much! Improperly measured flour can lead to dry, dense baked goods. [Measure cocoa powder the same way!]
Use an oven thermometer! Just because your oven says it's 350, doesn't mean it is! If you oven hasn't been calibrated recently, it can be as much as 30 degrees off, which will negatively affect all baked goods from cakes to macarons! An oven thermometer is the easiest/cheapest way to ensure your oven is always at the proper temperature.
Make sure you baking powder is fresh! Baking powder is important for helping baked goods rise properly, but it has a relatively short shelf life once opened, so it's one of the few items I never buy in bulk! To test if your baking powder is still fresh, add a small amount to boiling water. If it bubbles it's still good to use, but if not it's time to toss it!
Cupcake Decorating Tips
- For these big beautiful frosting swirls on these brown butter carrot cake cupcakes, I use the large round tip from this decorating kit. The tips are much larger than standard sizes and so fun for decorating cupcakes!
- Make sure you let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting!! After frosting, garnish with chopped walnuts!
Of course not! You can absolutely substitute regular unsalted butter. I just love the nutty flavor that brown butter adds.
These cupcakes will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. However, they taste best at room temperature; so let the refrigerated cupcakes sit on the counter for about 30 minutes before serving.
Tips for Success!
For best results I always recommend using weight measurements (especially when baking) because it's the most accurate. Kitchen scales are super affordable and also reduce the number of dishes you have to do! However, all my recipes also include US customary measurements for convince. Use this chart to convert measurements for common ingredients!
Substitutions: In all my recipes, I've included substitutions that I know will work, but I cannot guarantee results if you substitute ingredients that I have not recommended. [For example, granulated sugar and honey are indeed both sweeteners but they have very different properties so they can not always be swapped 1:1. Using honey in a cookie recipe that calls for granulated sugar will yield a giant mess.] In the recipe card you'll find links to the specific ingredients/brands that I use.
A note on salt: I almost exclusively use Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt because it's the best all-purpose salt for cooking and baking. If you're not using kosher salt, consult this handy guide for a conversion chart! When in doubt, if you're using table salt just reduce the amount by half for baked goods. When cooking, I prefer to under-salt because you can always add more! If you've over-salted, adding a little bit of acid (like lemon juice) can help.

Q: Do you still make time for reading? If so, who are some of the authors that have influenced your work?
A: I try to make time for reading. There are two types of reading that I now find myself doing. One is the reading I do to write my books. It’s the research I need to do before I get down to working on a book. And let me tell you, that’s a ton of reading. I’d spent about 2 years reading and going through 40+ books in order to just cover the research for Keepers of the Kalachakra.
The other is the reading that I do for pleasure – the stuff that I want to read. I would break it into two categories – what I have to read, and what I want to read. I find myself doing much more of the former and less of the latter, because I don’t get that much time.
I use a Kindle, and have roughly 1000+ books on it. I read when I’m on flights, or if I’m travelling, or on a holiday, and I catch up with whatever it is that I want to read.
In terms of the books that I like, I don’t have necessarily favorite authors, or favorite genres. But there are books which have made an impact on me. One of the books I have probably read more than ten times is Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda. For those of you who haven’t read it, start reading it. It’s a book in which I always find something more, every time I go back to read it.
Another book which has impacted me would be Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children. I’m immensely jealous of the way he writes, because I know that I’ll never be able to write like him.
Another very obvious choice is The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. That was a book which started me on my path. City of Joy as well as Freedom at Midnight by Dominique Lapierre are books that I’ve loved. There are so many favourite authors that I often lose track – Irving Wallace, Arthur Hailey, John Grisham, Dan Brown, Stephen King, Ayn Rand – the list is too long. But these were all authors who’ve made a tremendous mark on me.
Q. The subjects that you choose to write on are very distinct – there’s not been another book on which they have been addressed. How do you pick a topic to write on and how do you go about the research phase in writing it?
A: It’s a convoluted process. I don’t know how many of you maintain journals, where you jot down your ideas or thoughts.Since 2005, when Gmail came out, I have always had two email IDs – one for people to communicate with me, and the other, to communicate with myself. So, I could be giving this lecture and someone asks me a very interesting question – I don’t want to lose sight of that question. So, I’d send myself an email saying that, today, someone asked me this. Say, I’m walking on the road and I happen to see a hoarding with an interesting graphic, or I’m reading a book which has an interesting quote, subject or a paragraph that I find interesting, or I’m watching a video and I wanna keep track of that link, I email myself. Over the course of 12-13 years, I’ve easily emailed myself over 10,000 times. That becomes like my perpetual diary of ideas and thoughts.
From that, when I now want to write a new book, I go back and start searching those to see what ideas I found interesting. Typically, I take about two or three ideas and throw them in my head to figure out as to which of those ideas is going to keep me excited. The timeframe for writing a book in the Bharat series is typically two to two and a half years. Out of this, the first six months are related to research at a minimum. In fact, sometimes, it can even go to a year. Then, about three months towards the plotting of the book. And then, six months towards writing the book, followed by three months of editing and proofreading. So, if you really think about it, you’re going to live with that story for two years
My greatest nightmare is that, I will choose a story, I will start to research, and then suddenly, three or four months later, I say, “No! You know what, I’m no longer excited by this.” That’s just entirely wasted. So, I’m very particular about ensuring that the topic that I choose is something that I feel will be able to sustain me for that entire period of time.
Frankly, if I cannot be excited in the topic that I’m writing about, how can I make you excited in it? It’s as simple as that.
Q. Has it ever happened though, that you’ve gone through a certain amount of work with a particular idea, and then had to throw it out?
A: Yes, it has. And that’s what has terrified me. Because, I’ve done a ton of work. This actually happened between The Rozabal Line and Chanakya’s Chant where I did a ton of work on a particular subject, and then felt, “No, this is not the subject that I want to be writing on”. As it turns out, I’m now adapting that for a screenplay. So, it’s okay.
Q. Sir, in your work, you regularly touch on a very sensitive topic – religion.
A: Yes, of course. –
Q. So have you got mails that your content is not authentic?
A: You’ve asked me a very loaded question. And I wish I had a whiskey right now.
Let me tell you one thing. First of all, you used the word ‘authentic’. Frankly, I don’t know what authentic is. Because if you really think about it, when it comes down to mythology, and commonly accepted stories, I mean today, for example, in the Bible you have four gospels. But actually there are about, maybe, twenty or twenty-five gospels, which at some point of time, were declared gnostic, or whatever. So they are not read. So besides the usual gospels of Luke, and John, and all of that, you also have the gospel of Judas and Mary Magdalene and the gospel of twenty others.
The same applies with even the Hindu mythology like the Ramayana. There are three hundred versions of the Ramayana. And each of the stories in those three hundred versions is very different. Take up an epic like Mahabharata. It started with 25,000 verses of an epic called the Jaya which became 50,000 verses called the Bharat. And that morphed into a 1,00,000 verses, called the Mahabharata. Each one of those authors added their own perspectives, their own stories, into that overall epic. Similarly, for example, if you take the Ramayana, you have Tulsidas saying that Ram is God, Valmiki saying that Ram is man, you have the Anandan Adbhut Ramayana talking about Ram not killing Ravana but Sita taking the form of Durga and killing Ravana. You have another epic in which Lakshman kills Ravana. You have Lav Ramayana in which Ram is a Bodhi Sattva. You have the muslim Ramayana in which Ram is a Sultan. So which of those 300 versions is the truth?
That is the point I’m trying to make. The so-called protectors of truth, first need to answer what is truth. It was the great novelist George Santayana who said, “History is a pack of lies about events that never happened told by people who weren’t there.” So, frankly, when you ask me to accept a version of events, it is precisely that – a version of events. So we can never know the real truth. It was C.S. Lewis who said that a myth is a lie that reveals a truth. So when we talk of most of these stories, we want to get to the deeper truth of those stories, rather than the actual absolute truth.
So, a) I don’t think I am, in any way, causing damage to anyone’s version of truth, because they themselves don’t know what the truth is, and b) how do you ensure that, when it is a matter of faith, you don’t end up getting on the wrong side of people. I have always found that philosophy is far more interesting than religion, because philosophy is about questions that you can never find answers to, and religion is about answers that you can never find questions to. So, I would much rather remain on the side of philosophy, rather than on the side of religion.
Having said that, if you are dealing with matters of faith, you owe it to your reader to do your research. You have no business writing on issues of faith without having done that research. Because, you’re leaving yourself open to misinterpretations. That is one thing. Second, I believe, approach which ever subject that you write about, with a sense of respect rather than sensationalism. So, for example, if I write about Jesus Christ in the Rozabal Line, or I write about Krishna in the Krishna Key, or I write about Hanuman, in the Sialkot Saga, I, from within, simply want to offer my prayers to each one of those characters. I’m not looking to simply become sensational, stir up a controversy, and then after that, have to deal with that controversy.
Let me tell you one more thing which is an absolute known secret about our industry. The authors who’ll end up in controversy are the ones who created that controversy in the first place. That controversy has been manufactured in order to sell more books. So, please take everything that you see, with a sense of skepticism, just the way you should take the truth with a sense of skepticism.
Q. Sir, say for an author like Salman Rushdie, the controversy that he landed with the Satanic Verses wasn’t self created. Rather, he wrote about a topic that’s very touchy, and the subsequent reaction was too extreme.
A. If you see the early interviews of Salman Rushdie, post the Satanic Verses, they were rather controversial in nature, and so, in that sense, I don’t think he realised that it would reach that point. But the initial focus of wanting to stir up a little bit of a conversation was very much there. The problem is, with any fire that you light, you don’t know where it’ll end, and how big that fire will become.

Teeming with life and crackling with energy, told through many distinctive voices, this novel follows the lives of twelve very different characters. Mostly women, black and British, they tell the stories of their families, friends and lovers, across the country and through the years. Joyfully polyphonic and sparklingly contemporary, Girl, Woman, Other is a gloriously new kind of history, a novel of our times: celebratory, ever-dynamic and utterly irresistible.
What if Jesus had married? What kind of woman would he marry? Who would marry him? These questions are at the heart of Sue Monk Kidd’s sweepingly inventive The Book of Longings. Ana, with her “turbulent black curls and eyes the colour of rainclouds” and a narrative voice that sweeps you up in its bold passion, was born into a wealthy Galilean family. Sharp-minded and a gifted writer, Ana secretly transcribes the stories of matriarchs in the scriptures, women omitted from the records: “To be ignored, to be forgotten, this was the worst sadness of all. I swore an oath to set down their accomplishments and praise their flourishings, no matter how small. I would be a chronicler of lost stories.” Ana seems destined to marry an elderly widower to further her father’s career (he’s the closest adviser to Herod Antipas, whom Ana despises), until she encounters eighteen-year-old Jesus and is emboldened and aroused by his revolutionary ideas: “I called him Beloved and he, laughing, called me Little Thunder.” Jesus understands Ana’s longings, her “life begging to be born,” and she loves his kindness, his capacity for listening. Of course, we know how the real-life narrative plays out, but this affecting story gets under the skin as familiar events unfold through Ana’s eyes, as a proto-feminist, as wife of Jesus, as sister of Judas.

A multi-perspective narrative following Aiyanna and a number of other characters. This book also spans time, jumping from Aiyanna in the modern-day and back through history. This book seems to be part sci-fi, part literary fiction. Aiyanna is seeking treatment for a deep depression when she discovers a secret about herself which leads her deep into her family history. Each character we encounter throughout the book teaches us about family, love, understanding and the human condition. These lessons are also imparted on Aiyanna, an insight I’m sure anyone who believes in reincarnation would love, to be able to look into their past lives and experiences to impact the decisions or mistakes they make. The book is separated well, with the name of the character in focus at the top of each chapter. This is an interesting story about time, belief in reincarnation and in some cases the butterfly effect, the idea that one small action or decision can have a knock-on effect, sometimes throughout history.

A beautifully engaging novel that both broke and truly captured my heart. We travel with Laure through three time frames, from Prague of 1986, through to Paris of today. She finds love, and founds a museum based on promises broken, discarded, forgotten. Elizabeth Buchan writes with such eloquence, compassion and meaning. I felt, really felt the history and heartache. The past and the present somehow balance, as they move backwards and forwards slowly cutting snippets of information free. I fully existed in each moment, almost forgetting another point existed until I found myself there and became immersed once more. I really cared about the characters, including the museum, the idea is captivating, and so completely believable I feel as though I should be able to walk through its doors. The Museum of Broken Promises is for a me a must-read, I’ve chosen it as one of our star books, it is quite simply, glorious. Have a look at our Ambassador Book Buzz for The Museum of Broken Promises.
Ancient gods and the elemental spirit of an island are interwoven with modern reality in this remarkable debut that begins with a family impoverished by the decline of the sugar cane industry. In the pounding, poetic words of Augie, the father of the household: ”I was once the sugarcane. I was the cane and clacking and the sugar-sweet smoke of the reaping season.” Amidst escalating money struggles, a shiver of sharks save seven-year-old Nainoa from drowning, which the family embrace as a sign from Hawai’i’s ancient gods, especially when Nainoa also seems to have been bestowed with healing powers. Throughout the writing is majestically powerful, from punch-packing phrases that slam you in the gut, to monumental descriptions that rise, crash, roar and swell like Big Island waves, not least when life unravels again after Nainoi – now a young adult - and his siblings leave the island for various parts of the USA. Sister Kaui captures one of the novel’s core themes when, relocated to San Diego, she speaks of being, “A person of here and there, and not belonging in either place.” Meanwhile, in Portland, struggling with his healing gift, and the failings of this gift, Nainoa recalls the shark incident and memories call to him: “Home. Come home.” With its sweeping sense of myth, this multi-voiced family saga is a brilliant, involving exposition of how the places we inhabit also inhabit us at bone-deep level. It rings and rages with the wrath, revival, healing and hope of its characters. Head to our 'Black Lit Matters' list to find more must-read novels by black writers.
From the author of The White Woman on the Green Bicycle and Archipelago comes what might be Monique Roffey’s most ambitious and accomplished novel yet. It’s a feat of invention – a brilliant interweaving of mermaid myth and the effects of colonial legacies on modern life. The time and place is 1976 in a small fishing village on the island of Black Conch. David is out strumming his guitar, hoping for a catch when he attracts the attention of Aycaycia, a beautiful woman whom jealous wives cursed to live as a mermaid. Some weeks later Aycaycia is caught by American tourists out on a fishing trip. Seen as source of cash, she’s strung up by them, then rescued by David. While in his care, she begins to transform back into a woman. Blending myth and history, magic and reality, this multi-voiced, multi-textured novel (it features journal excerpts and verse) tells a rich tale of love, jealousy and freedom, exposing racism, oppression and gender inequalities through its otherworldly cloak.

Glorious, simply and beautifully glorious! Inspired by Shakespeare’s son Hamnet, this is the imagined story behind the writing of Hamlet, which was written between 1599 and 1601. Hamnet and Hamlet were apparently “entirely interchangeable in Stratford records in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries”. Maggie O’Farrell says she wanted to write this story for over thirty years. “What did it mean for a father to name a tragic hero after his ( ) son. What was this unusual act telling us?” The cover design is beautiful, it called to me. On opening, I slipped into and fell in love with this tale. Hamnet has an almost otherworldly feel, and yet is as earthy and believable as can be. Two time frames sit side by side, Hamnet becoming ill in 1596, and then the earlier story of Shakespeare and Agnes meeting and falling in love. The descriptions became clear bright images in my mind. I could feel the words, they echoed deep inside me, creating pools of emotion. I cried on finishing, all the feelings that Hamnet created slipped out of me and trickled down my cheeks. I adore Hamnet, it now sits on my list of favourite books, and will be one that I reread each year. Chosen as a Book of the Month, LoveReading Star Book, and Liz Pick of the Month.
Quirky, provocative, and fabulous, these short stories highlight everyday normality and yet firmly shake the roots of your thoughts. Hannah Vincent is a novelist and playwright, I first came across her writing in 2014 when I read Alarm Girl, which I can still clearly remember (bearing in mind just how many books I read, it shows you how powerful her writing is). Although these short stories might leave you with more questions than answers they are actually perfectly formed. Sweary, occasionally shouty, definitely challenging, the mundane is examined, and experienced in a completely different way. She-Clown and Other Stories is a really interesting and decidedly different collection of 16 stories that I can wholeheartedly recommend.

The State Department told the Libyan government that the fatal attacks on the U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi were carried out by a terrorist group the day after the attacks, even though the White House continued for some time afterward blaming it on a spontaneous riot over an anti-Muslim video, says Rep. Jason Chaffetz.
Chaffetz, appearing Sunday on “Meet the Press,” said he is in possession of an internal State Department document from Cheryl Mills, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff, that blames the attacks on Ansar al-Sharia, a terrorist group.
“So why is that we told the Libyans the truth and told the American people a lie?” asked the Republican Utah Congressman, a member of the House Oversight Committee.
The document is dated Sept. 12, 2012, Chaffetz said, one day after the attacks that left four Americans dead, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens.
Republicans have been focusing during the past week on a newly released email showing that it was the White House that was behind talking points suggesting blame for the attacks came from the video. Members of the intelligence community did not point to the video in the Benghazi attacks, though it was blamed for protests around the same time in other places, including Cairo.
But nobody, in real time, thought that the Benghazi attack was caused by a protest over a video, Chaffetz said.
“I think that was a false narrative from the beginning,” he said. “It was perpetuated over the course of time. In my mind, that became a lie. It was never true in Libya.”
Critics have said the White House was looking for something besides terrorism to blame the attacks on because President Barack Obama was in a tight race for re-election and was making the case on the campaign trail that al-Qaida was “on the run” after the killing of its leader, Osama bin Laden.
It is also seen as a potential millstone for Clinton, who is the presumed Democratic frontrunner for president in 2016.

12 senators, over 70 solons on De Lima’s ‘pork’ list
MANILA, Philippines — Suspected “pork barrel” scam mastermind Janet Lim-Napoles identified 12 incumbent and former senators and more than 70 lawmakers in a one-page “pork” list that she herself signed and was submitted by Justice Secretary Leila de Lima to the Senate blue ribbon committee on Thursday.
Napoles listed 10 incumbent and two former senators.
The 10 were Senators Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr., Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada, Juan Ponce-Enrile, Vicente “Tito” Sotto III, Loren Legarda,Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III, Alan Peter Cayetano, Gregorio Gringo Honasan, JV Ejercito, and Francis “Chiz” Escudero.
The two former senators were Manny Villar and the late Robert Barbers.
The names on the signed list by Napoles was similar to the typewritten document that former senator and rehabilitation czar Panfilo “Ping” Lacson had submitted to the committee except that her document contained other names written in long hand.
Among those written in long hand were a certain “Emano,” a certain “Cong. Angara-APO,” a certain “Maite,” “Butch,” “Cong Gonzales” and another name which was not legible.
At the bottom of Napoles’ signature was the date 4-22-2014, and the time she supposedly signed the document.
The number of incumbent and former congressmen listed on Napoles’ signed list was also notably similar to the one which came from Lacson.
Lacson said his list was given to him by Napoles’ husband, Jaime, who sought a meeting with him last March 27.
Also included in Napoles’ list was Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala and other officials of the Departmet of Agriulture, and officials of certain implementing agencies also allegedly involved in the scam.
Napoles’ list also identified certain “ agents” like Ruby Tuazon, Bryan Yamsuan, Jen Corpus, Mat Ranillo, Pauline Labayen, Catherine Mae “Maya” Santos, Patricia “Gay” Agana Tan, Alen Ruste and Mon Arcenas.
It was De Lima herself, who went to the office of Senator Teofisto Guingona III, chairman of the committee, to submit Napoles’ list and her narrative affidavits. Senator Serge OSmena III, vice chairman of the committee, was also present to meet De Lima.
Guingona said De Lima came to his office to request for a one-week extension on the deadline set by the committee for her to submit the list and signed affidavits of Napoles.
While he granted the one-week extension for the submission of the affidavits, Guingona said he rejected a similar request for the “pork” list.
“She’s (De Lima) saying that Janet Lim-Napoles and her lawyers are still completing the affidavits that’s why they asked for a one week extension,” Guingona said after their meeting.
“As to the affidavits, we agreed to give her one more week but I did not agree to the list. I said it should be submitted today because it’s the deadline as stated in the subpoena so she has given me the list. We have the list now,” the senator added.
Guingona said De Lima told him that the list was signed by Napoles herself.
“According to Secretary De lima, it’s signed by Janet Lim-Napoles herself. There are handwritings here and according to Secretary De Lima, this is personally written by Janet Lim-Napoles…” he said.

In today’s competitive and volatile job market, finding and maintaining a job is tough and studies show that employers are more inclined to retain employees that are likeable.
Many subscribe to the mistaken belief that being likeable comes naturally and is not a skill or quality that one can acquire. However, research proves that being likeable has been associated with people with a higher emotional quotient (EQ).
Psychology Today defines EQ as “the ability to identify and manage your own emotions and the emotions of others.” Today, higher EQ is one of the determinative factors for success in business, relationships and life in general.
People with a higher EQ are less focused on characteristics like intelligence, extraversion and attractiveness, and are instead more focused on skills that are totally in their control – such as approachability, humility and positivity.
More than just charisma or personality, EQ is exhibited through adaptability, collegiality and empathy – and is practised through listening, remaining resilient in the face of problems, valuing and helping colleagues, and connecting and empathising with clients.
While most of us have spent much of our lives diligently studying and taking exams in a quest to be more intelligent, the average individual hardly spends any time working on their EQ.
As our careers develop, we tend to discover that our colleagues are just as smart and hardworking as we are – and that the key to success must be due to something more.
Recent studies have shown that people who possess higher EQ are not only highly likeable, but also outperform others by a large margin, and tend to be top performers in a company.
Most of us could benefit from making ourselves a little more “likeable” – especially in the workplace – so my advice would be to pay attention to your EQ and proactively work to develop it through self-reflection, feedback and coaching.

SPR-RAM and VRAM (nametables) data are dedicated to holding graphics rendering information, so they don't really count as general-purpose memory. I/O registers also do not count, since they generally can *not* be used to store arbitrary data - you sent commands and retrieve status data through them (the APU registers 4000-4013 are not even readable). CPU registers don't count either, since using them to store permanent data would not be feasible.
Effectively, the NES has 2048 bytes of 'general purpose' memory, and 4352 bytes of 'total' memory (not including registers).
P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.

Video – Rae Morris (UK) ‘Do It’
Rae Morris has a new single out – it’s called Do It and the official video is amazing. Produced by her long-term collaborator Fryars and My Riot (London Grammar, Bloc Party, RHODES), and featuring Rae’s trademark ethereal vocals over euphoric electronic pop elements, Do It is a highly personal tale of letting go and jumping into the unknown.
Rae said: “This song is a dare to myself; it’s about daring to take a risk and choosing to take the more exciting route! It kind of exists as a part two of Cold from my first album Unguarded. It’s what happens when you go back into the studio to make more music. Do you write another duet and do a similar thing, or take a risk and do something you’ve never done before? It’s also pretty damn sexy!”
Do It is the second single from Rae’s forthcoming sophomore album, due for release in 2018. The song was recently selected as Tune of the Week by BBC Radio 1’s Nick Grimshaw!
The video sees the super stylish artist from Blackpool, UK roaming throughout NYC, hanging with friends, eating ice cream and picnicking with cute dogs. The video was a collaboration with Noel Paul (Bat For Lashes, Röyksopp), who also directed the video for Rae’s previous single Reborn.
After signing to Atlantic Records at the young age of 17, Rae honed her craft and developing her sound through a string of EP releases. In January 2015, Rae released her debut album Unguarded, produced by Ariel Rechtshaid (HAIM, Charli XCX), to much critical acclaim.Unguarded hit the top 10 in the UK album charts and announced her as one of the most relevant, exciting new artists to come out of the UK. Rae also found time to lend her unmistakeable vocals on collaborations with Clean Bandit (Up Again), Bombay Bicycle Club (Luna),Fakear, Kaytranada and Rejjie Snow.
