Duo of incoming Saints play in Kensington Lions All-Star game
Two members of the St. Lawrence University Class of 2018 were selected to compete in the annual Kensington Lions All-Star Football Game on Wednesday, July 30 in Depew, NY.
The annual contest, which was played at Depew High School, features premier talent in and around the Buffalo-area. Austen Lauricella, a wide receiver from Akron, NY, played on the victorious North squad and will be attending St. Lawrence this fall, while future teammate Brian Stoldt played for the South. Stoldt is a quarterback from Alden, NY. Saints offensive coordinator Dan Puckhaber and quarterbacks coach Alex Smith took in the game, along with current players Ryan Schmidt, Jared Shatkin and Alec Dietsch. Schmidt and Dietsch played in the Kensington Lions All-Star games prior to their arrival in Canton, NY as well."It is a terrific achievement to earn a spot in the Kensington Lions All-Star game, and both Austen and Brian were very deserving of their selections," said Saints head coach Mark Raymond. "We are excited to be adding them to our offense this season and I expect they'll be great additions to St. Lawrence."
The St. Lawrence football team is slated to arrive for training camp on Thursday, August 14, with the season opener to follow on Saturday, September 6 at Coast Guard. The Saints will host Norwich in the home opener at Leckonby Stadium on September 13 at 1pm.

Benevolent Sexism Keeps Women from Success in Career and Home
November 16, 2018
Increasingly women are encouraged to pursue STEM careers, but as a society, we still expect these women to buy the groceries, raise the children and do the laundry. Why does it have to be so hard for women to be happy and successful in both their career and family life?

Why Affirmative Action Isn’t Sufficient to Counter Racial Bias
The last few years have seen emotional conversations about race in America, including the role of racial bias in the criminal justice system. Despite the important issues these conversations have raised, we may not be paying enough attention to how variations in skin tone and other physical features affect different degrees of bias even within racial groups, according to Keith Maddox and Jennifer Perry.

Changing Broader Social Stereotypes is Our Best Chance of Ending Implicit Bias

Places Can Be Prejudiced, Too
June 29, 2018
The problem of prejudice is often discussed but remains widespread. One of the reasons may be that we’re not looking for solutions in the right places; in fact, too often we aren’t looking in places at all.
“When we think of prejudice, most of us think of it as a problem of people,” according to Mary Murphy, Kathryn Kroeper, and Elise Ozier of Indiana University Bloomington. In other words, we tend to focus on individuals’ biased attitudes and on punishing orread more

With February being Black History Month I think it’s perfect occasion to explore a book I’ve had my eye on for some time. This month’s pick is:
The book’s description reads as follows:
Golfers talk a lot about “love of the game,” but the phrase acquires a whole new level of meaning when it’s used in the context of the first African Americans who tried to make careers for themselves on the links. No mere coffee-table book, this attractively illustrated and designed volume by veteran golf writer McDaniel (one of the first blacks to achieve prominence as a golf journalist) tells the fascinating and inspirational story of the first black golf pros in riveting detail and with quiet eloquence. The stories of Charlie Sifford and Lee Elder, the first black pros to crack professional golf’s color line, are here, but it is the less-familiar sagas of such equally talented pros as Bill Spiller and Teddy Rhodes, who were denied a chance to succeed on the tour, that are the most revealing. Equally fascinating are the accounts of African Americans John Shippen, who played in the U. S. Open in 1896, and Dr. George Grant, who invented the golf tee. An essential addition to golf literature and to the history of race relations. -Bill Ott
I’m looking forward to this and hope you enjoy as well.

Manila, Philippines --- The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) warned yesterday that the truck ban in Manila may lead to massive job loss for affected drivers and helpers, while the head of the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) revealed that some 800 export companies employing over 200,000 workers are losing $77 million daily since the truck was implemented last Monday.
DOLE Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz issued the warning in the wake of the impasse between the city government and truckers who have declared a truck holiday since the implementation of the new ordinance last Monday.
[caption id="attachment_102369" align="aligncenter" width="576"] SMOOTH AS SILK – Vehicles travel smoothly along Road 10 in Manila on Feb. 26, 2014, on the third day of the implementation of the expanded truck ban in the city. (Ali Vicoy)[/caption]
Under the new city ordinance, eight-wheel trucks and vehicles with gross weight above 4,500 kilograms are barred from using Manila roads from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m., a total of 16 hours or seven hours longer than the previous ban.
A separate metrowide truck ban is also being imposed by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m, everyday, except Sundays and holidays.
Responding to the new ordinance, truckers have imposed a truck holiday that has already affected several manufacturing companies.
Baldoz appealed to the City of Manila to consider the possible negative economic impact of its new policy on the truck transportation sector.
“We understand the concern of City Hall authorities and other people on the congestion of our city roads that inconvenience commuters, but we must also be concerned about preserving jobs and incomes,” Baldoz said.
“I don’t know how the Manila city government will implement the ordinance, but I hope they will consider its impact on truck drivers and their helpers,” she added.
PEZA Director General Lilia B. de Lima, meanwhile, told reporters at the sidelines of the “Arangkada Philippines Business Forum” held yesterday at Makati Shangrila Hotel that companies in the Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon) area have been complaining about losing some $77 million worth of exports daily since the truck ban was imposed. This is on top of the losses companies incur on the delays in their imports or raw material inputs for their manufacturing operations.
Earlier, the Bureau of Customs reported a significant drop in its revenue collection following the truck holiday imposed by truckers affected by the truck ban.
Bad For Exporters
Calabarzon, which hosts the most number of economic zones in the country, accounts for 80 percent of the entire PEZA exports, which in turn comprise 80 percent of the country’s total exports. Last year’s total merchandize exports reached $53.98 billion.
“We are very worried because if the expanded truck ban continues for another two to three days, this is going to be very bad for our exporting companies,” De Lima stressed.
A prolonged impasse with truckers now staging a strike against the ordinance will lessen the production of manufacturing firms that would eventually affect employment, De Lima said.
With the current situation, De Lima highlighted the need for exporters to look for alternative international ports to ship their products.
Batangas Port Rejected
De Lima has been prodding Calabarzon exporters to ship through the Batangas International Port, even offering a 50-percent discount on its fees until December this year.
However, companies refused to use Batangas because there is only one ship (Maersk) call in a week. Shipping lines also said they don’t want to call on Batangas port as there is not enough volume to fill up its ship and justify such route.
With the truck ban’s impact on truck drivers and helper, Baldoz has already ordered DOLE-National Capital Region (NCR) Director Alex Avila to include truckers and their employers in its industry tripartite council (ITC) to verify these reports.
“I have directed Director Avila to immediately convene the ITC to a meeting in view of the truck ban in the City of Manila, which some quarters fear could result to the displacement of workers in the truck transport sector,” Baldoz said.
Baldoz said that during the consultation, DOLE-NCR will try to find out the number of trucks that traverses Manila’s city streets and the number of truck transport workers who might be affected by the truck ban.
She also said that the ITC will ensure the truck transportation industry will be protected from future ordinances from other local government units.
“The ITC should be able to ensure that any local ordinance to curb vehicular traffic should not in any way result in the loss of jobs and income of transport workers,” Baldoz said.
Baldoz said DOLE may issue a position on the new ordinance after if concludes its consultations.
“DoLE will raise concern if there will be possible income loss,” Baldoz said.
Palace Steps In
With the impasse, Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said the Office of the Cabinet Secretary has called on all concerned national agencies to “explore ways to move forward” on the issue.
She said MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino was tasked to coordinate with Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada while Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) General Manager Juan Sta. Ana will coordinate with the truckers’ associations.
“Everyone is looking for ways to find a compromise agreement,” Valte assured.
“For one, we bridge the communication from the local government to the truckers’ associations. It was a total ban in the beginning, now there are window hours,” she said. (With a report from Madel Sabater Namit)

The bed is amazing. The staff were great. Room was clean. Great hospitality suites.
I was in town for a conference at the Edmonton Convention Center. There is a pathable walkway under ground so you don't even need to go outside.. BUT google maps doesn't have proper guidance and I got a little lost the first day. The staff could only sort of tell me how to get there - a map from the hotel would have been handy or better yet the hotel could work on thier digital listings and path it out for guests. This is my biggest complaint: If you have allergies or are sensitive to scents, DO NOT STAY HERE. I was unaware that this brand of hotels likes to pump out thier signature scent into the air, through the entire hotel. My allergies flared up and I was reliant on my medication the entire time I was in Edmonton (it seeps into everything). I got hives on my skin and had a hard time breathing correctly (hence the medication). I understand the concept of igniting all the senses- but the overwhelming perfume was just to much. Because of this I won't ever stay at a Westin again (as I was told this is thier thing). Unfortunate because everything else was great.
Check in was effucient - good staff - room was very clean. Excellent beds.
Very nice place to stay.

rooms were spacious, beds extremely comfortable. there is complimentary starbucks coffee in the room as well as the lobby in the morning.
mini bar fridge is meant to be used to keep things at room temperature rather than to cool things down. in order to get a refrigerator, one had to be requested from housekeeping and they were all out of them when we stayed here.
Com localização central em Edmonton, The Westin Edmonton fica a 5 minutos de caminhada de Centro de Edmonton e a 12 minutos a pé de Rogers Place. As comodidades presentes incluem um business center 24 horas, serviço de limusine/transfer executivo e check-out expresso.

Spasmodic Torticollis (ST) can occur any time in life, although the symptoms most frequently occur between 25 and 55 years of age. ST is more common in women than men. The exact cause is unknown.
Onset sometimes comes after an injury to the head or neck, following an infection, or after taking certain medications. There also seems to be a genetic link, with 5 percent of patients reporting at least one relative with ST and 50 percent demonstrating a family history of tremors in the head or hands.
First symptoms generally occur slowly or intermittently and are usually noticed when a person tried to keep his or her head straight, for example, while driving. Family or friends are often the first to see the sign, asking questions like, “Why does your head look like it’s on crooked?” Within two to five years, progression of the disease reaches a plateau without further worsening. The pain associated with ST is almost always focused in one place, frequently the side of the neck or the back of the shoulders.
There are three distinct varieties of Spasmodic Torticollis: Tonic, in which the head turns to one side, Clonic, which involves the shaking of the head, and Mixed which involves both turning and shaking.
The turning of the head is generally considered to fall into one of four categories:
- Rotational, in which the head turns to one side or the other
- Laterocollis in which the head is pulled toward the shoulder
- Retrocollis in which the head is pulled to the back, or
- Anterocollis in which the head is pulled forward.
In fact, most people’s ST is more complex, having a combination of “pulling” from among these four categories.

Why does the Game Name entered override display of score?
We've received this question quite a bit lately so I wanted to bring it up to the entire community in case you've come across it too. Some of you like to add a Game Name for your games, instead of leaving it as the default format (Team A vs.Team B). If you have a Game Name entered it will override the display of the score on the Schedule, Calendar and Home Page. If you would like to see the display of the score without clicking the link to the game, you'll want to edit your game and remove the Game Name. You may edit the game within the Games section of the Schedules folder. Click the edit icon located to the right of the game, remove the Game Name and click "Update Game."

If you use a diesel engine for heavy equipment or a large truck, then you can rest easy knowing that it will likely last a long time. Diesel engines frequently offer fantastic fuel economy, and the parts have a longer lifespan. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t run into your fair share of issues that need addressing. Fortunately, another advantage of diesel engines is that all the moving parts typically make them easier to work on and discover the cause of the concern. Here are some of the most common problems with diesel engines and what may be giving you trouble.
A hefty amount of exhaust isn’t entirely abnormal when you’re using diesel engines. However, if you ever start to notice the color of the smoke seems different or unusual, that may be a sign of a larger problem. Black smoke typically comes from an imbalanced air/fuel ratio and is most likely an issue with your fuel injectors or the injector pump. An improper balance may start to damage your engine over time, and the black smoke may get you in trouble with the authorities over clean air violations. It’s a good idea to fix this issue as soon as possible.
Gaining a proper perspective on how your diesel engine sounds when running smoothly is vital. You’re far more likely to hear the signs of a problem than you are to see them. When you understand the normal rumbles and roars of your engine, you’ll be better able to pick up on unusual banging sounds or ticking. Knowing how to fix the knocking sound in a diesel engine is essential for preventing long-term damage. Different sounds stem from different causes, so it helps to understand these problems.
Among the most common problems with diesel engines is a sudden drop in power. One of the most significant advantages of a diesel engine over a gasoline model is how much more powerful it is. So, if your machine seems weaker, that’s not a good sign. Low power often comes from faulty oil filters or potential leaks of oil and fuel.

While reading and summarizing Descola’s giant work Beyond nature and culture, I have been ‘side-reading’ some stuff about autism. Reading the book Women from another planet?: Our Lives in the Universe of Autism has made me think some additional thoughts to my reading of Descola.
Women from another planet? is a book, collectively written by a group of women diagnosed with autism spectrum. The authors are mostly using email as a medium, which is also reflected in the layout of the book, with small paragraphs (in italics), introducing a topic, followed by the women’s statements. I would like to cite a passage from a section headlined ‘Development and maturity’:
MM: I think that some of us [women with autism spectrum/Asperger’s syndrome (AS)] not only have our five senses on high, but also our sixth sense: that we do not draw a line between inanimate and animate beings, that they all have soul to us.
Daina: As a child, everything was somewhat alive to me. Perhaps the face-processing tendency that most NTs [neurotypicals] have, enables them early on to distinguish what is alive and what isn’t, and what is human and what isn’t.
Ava: Or maybe what is and isn’t alive, is just another assumption that NTs make. So for the NT child, either because of the strength of those attachments to faces and the accompanying social world, or through some coincidental development process, the aliveness of the sensory world fades. Whereas we ASs retain more of the direct experience of the world and less of the face-addiction-belief thing.
This passage inspired me to do some thinking, that I would like to invite you to join.
Are we all wired differently? It’s generally admitted that we are all individually unique when it comes to our faces, our voices, our fingerprints. However it seems to be a general assumption that inside our bodies, – a part from what concerns ‘personality’ – we are all the same. We are the same, except from those, of course, who are ill, abnormal, deviant, right? Those who suffer from what we call a ‘mental disability’, those we give a diagnose that we call Asperger’s syndrome, autism, ADHD, etc.? What if we are just as uniquely different on the inside, as well? As one of the authors in Women from another planet? puts it:
“It seems odd that we value so much the beauty of diversity in nature yet seem afraid to share and appreciate the differences among and between ourselves” Susan Golubock
Wirings in the West ….
So let’s imagine that we all enter the world with our own unique ‘mental fingerprint’, and that the ways our perceptions and brains are working differ, just like we have different sizes and shapes of noses. In this sense, I find the claim by the neurodiversity movement (NM) stimulating, that “atypical neurological development [is] a normal human difference” (Jaarsma and Welin 2012). In this sense, any given population contains – by default, and because of the ways genes work – a high degree of neurodiversity. I also find it stimulating to think that each culture has its own preference when it comes to brain wirings. Our modern, urban, Western culture favors what we understand as ‘normal’ wirings – or as the NM would call it ‘neurotypicality‘, whereas we unfavour certain other variations of wiring, such as for example those who lead to ways of interacting with people that we diagnose as autism.
The way we have designed life in our modern Western culture works fine for people (the majority? Or in fact only a small minority?) with a certain wiring. This is the case in our worklife, where the way to success not only goes through being skilled at what’s needed for completing the tasks, but the social aspects play a huge role as well. This counts unproportionally much when it comes to recruitment, as well as coping with the daily worklife. I think it might be related to the fact that in our hamster wheel way of life, the time we have available to spend with family and friends is so reduced, that the workplace has taken over the role of providing for our basic social needs. In this sense, people who are less wired for the ‘face-processing tendency’, as Daina calls it, will have a hard time accessing the labor market and staying in a job – no matter how skilled they are at the tasks demanded. What about other cultures? What kinds of wirings do they favor?
… and the rest
It seems that there is a double movement in our time that is narrowing in the space for what is considered normal and useful for society. This movement has to do, on the one hand, with the way we organise production – IE what parts of human life,we choose to format into paid jobs – vs other activities that are defunct – like shepherding, or industrial jobs for that matter. On the other hand the value we give to social skills, which is now pervading all spheres of society, extending from the private sphere to also include the workplace. In other cultures and times, the way to organise production and social life might follow other logics, that might favor other kinds of wirings, which would suggest a different, and sometimes probably broader (or maybe narrower) definition of which personal traits are considered normal and useful.
These are thoughts that my reading of the accounts from women diagnosed with autism spectrum has inspired me to think. A third thought, that the quote above makes me think, has to do with, not only the way a culture structures its production, but also its whole basic relationship with the world, how its people perceive their surrounds. In other words, their ontology, their cosmology. As the quote suggests, people diagnosed with autism, see the world as animated. This inspires me to ask the question, if there is a certain relationship between on the one hand what we in the West consider as a defect – IE the way a person diagnosed with autism sees the world – and on the other hand the way animist cultures experience their surroundings? According to the women writing about their experiences as ASs, their faculty to perceive the liveliness of objects and textures in their surroundings is not related to a defect in their brains. They argue that all people, as children, perceive the world as animated. The difference is, that most people stop thinking that way because of the expectations from society, whereas people with autism manage to keep, what we would traditionally call a ‘naive’ relationship with the world. Does it make sense to think about animism as something which is latent in all cultures – since it is a way children spontaneously think – but that in some places, this aspect is suppressed whereas others maintain it, in adult life too? This is a quite traditional point of view, which I think you could find in early 20th century art movements, and also in evolutionist theories in social sciences. Descola argues vividly against this stance. The idea that people in animist cultures are somewhat more ‘natural’, because they are more ‘child-like’, uncorrupted, and that all cultures have – at some point in history been through an animistic phase, is rather problematic. Descola argues that toady’s animist cultures have tens of thousands of years of history behind their current state. They, too, have a history. And social life in cultures that do not have written language is not more simple, or naive than in those who have. On the contrary, as Descola argues (somewhere), it requires much more complex cultural practices, in the form of rites, myths etc., in these cultures, in order to maintain the social fabric, without the written word as a medium.
Autism is an environmentalism
If there is a parallel in the way of seeing and interacting with the world between certain cultures – the ones that Descola calls animist, (read my ‘selective pocket summary’ here) and people with non-neurotypical wirings in our culture, I think it makes sense to add a third question to the two core questions in my ‘pocket research design’ no. 2 (read about it here). Here are the two questions…..
- In what way can pre-modern forager societies be said to adhere to proto-ecological guidelines?
- How can these societies serve as a model for a bio-synergistic civilization…. and now, I’m adding this question:
- What role does a culture’s favored brain wirings play when it comes to a sustainable relationship with the environment?
Indeed, the authors in Women from another planet? talk about how they have a close relationship with green movements, and how they relate to all living and inanimate beings in a respectful and connected way.
As Ava writes:
Many of us here clearly feel a connection with rocks, plants and animals. For me, this is not just an intellectual thing, it is something passionate and living, that I experience deeply in mind, emotions and body all at once (e.g. my response to a familiar tree). Bound with that is a sense of love, respect & responsibility for life, that is most simply and purely experienced in the world of nature, but which also extends to the complexities of human life and the wonders of the wider universe
Maybe the preeminence of ‘the face-processing tendency’ in our Western culture, or in other words, the fact that interactions are expected to favor what is genuinely human, ie the exchange of emotional states and thoughts primarily via facial gestures and spoken languge, sets the standard for what we expect from our surroundings. Maybe this is why we tend to expect animals to act in human-like ways (with intentionality, plots, etc.). Maybe this is why we tend towards optimizing the use-value of non-humans to serve human needs, while forgetting the value that other organisms have to themselves and other parts of their surroundings.
My point is, that the place to look for other non-Western ways of conceiving of the relationship between human beings and their surroundings might not only be in non-Western cultures, but also in parts of our own culture that are suppressed, forgotten or considered useless, weird, deviant. Animists and autists have another way to reason with nature, it seems….
Or, to finish of in the words of Diane:
“Maybe AS isn’t really a defect. We have traits that may be actually needed in society, and if only society would start listening to us instead of marginalizing us, maybe solutions could be found for the worlds’s serious problems that currently seem to be unsolvable” Diane, in Women from another planet?

Inspired by a comment by Sergio Valdez, I would like to share some thoughts about being an independent researcher.
It’s a huge challenge to be an independent researcher. One thing is the obvious lack of time (a problem, I deal with here), since we need to work in something else to earn a living. Another thing is the lack of access – to networks, to libraries, to journals, to recognition. However, being an independent researcher also means independence from a highly politicized, competitive environment.
In mainstream higher education institutions you have to deal with all sorts of more or less bizarre things, that are putting restrictions to your possibilities to do what you’re supposed to. What I hear from my ‘dependent’ conspecifics is that they are subject to managerial pressure towards a more commercial bottom line kind of approach. At the same time, they are experiencing financial cuts, which puts pressure on their work environment, having to spend more and more time with administrative tasks, and dealing with an increasing number of students.
The trend is towards a more top down approach, where research institutions have to live up to more and more detailed policy demands in order to get the financial support from policy makers. As an example, within the field of Pedagogy, there is the so-called ‘early childhood preventive intervention’ (in Danish: tidlig indsats). This kind of policy induced trend in research has a double edge. On the one hand there is no doubt, that a lot of children need the kind of help, the program is aiming at. On the other, it’s evident that the State has an interest in reducing welfare costs. However, it is crucial to ask what basic understanding of people and their possibilities to be agents in their own lives lies behind this trend. In other words: how can we avoid a patronizing bureaucratization of people’s lives?
Being an independent researcher is an opportunity to realize projects that are disruptive to mainstream research policy agendas. It means an opportunity to be truly critical towards mainstream trends.
What kind of thinking is possible in mainstream higher educational institutions? For one, as I have argued above, policy demands are putting rather clear limits to the content of research. Another thing is what kind of people are included. The environment of Higher Education is excluding a great number of people. For some, the demands to reading-writing skills is an obstacle, whether this is based on social or cognitive reasons. For others, the high level of stress and competition is an obstacle. And there are also those, who have a hard time coping with the intellectual/social/gendered environment of HE, for the reasons I have mentioned above. And then there are those who do not have the economical means to embark on a (precarious) academic career. In short, independent research is a place where we ‘misfits’ are thriving. In this sense, I am beginning to think of this environment as a place for empowerment and resistance, and I suggest we start talking about it in terms of ‘folk research’, ‘deviant research’, and why not give it a nickname: indiesearch?
As a part of my ‘pocket research design 2‘, I am reading Descola’s Beyond Nature and Culture (see my selective pocket summary in progress here). While reading, ideas for my coming synthesis/pocket essay are beginning to condensate in my brain. Descola is a structuralist, (see my discussion here) and in order to take advantage of his work, it makes sense to go directly to the structural core of his thinking: the 4 ontological regimes, and the 2×3 modes of relationality.
In this memo, I would like to briefly reflect a little on how I imagine a path forward, in an effort to link Descola’s ‘system’ to my pocket research design 2: “Pre-modern forager societies vs Spinoza’s polis. A model for a more sustainable way of life in our time?”.
In a broad perspective these are the overall questions at play here: How does Descola’s system relate to Spinoza’s thinking? In which kind of ontology/cosmology according to Descola’s typology should we place Spinoza’s thinking? And what about relationality? How do the 2×3 forms of relationality come into play in Spinoza’s visions for a society?
In order to process these questions, we need to complete the following tasks:
- a short paragraph synthesizing Descola’s system, thus preparing the tools for
- an analysis of Spinoza’s thinking in relation to the four types of ontology, and
- an analysis of Spinoza’s ideas about society through the lense of Descola’s 2×3 forms of relationality.
This requires a rather comprehensive text reading / hermeneutical effort, but for now, please allow me to do a risky improvisation using the debris of insight I have so far….
Let’s jump right into the core question, ie. where to place Spinoza in Descola’s typology. To do so, it’s relevant to take note on two aspects of Descola’s discussion on naturalism and analogism. He places the birth of the naturalist ontology in the renaissance, where the early stages of modern science took form. In his analysis of analogism, he points to commonalities between the ontologies of medieval Europe, (premodern) China and the Aztecs.
Since Spinoza lived in the transition between the medieval and (proto-)modern period, it seems to make sense to place him historically, in a transition period between Descola’s analogism and naturalism. Another preliminary perspective has to do with Descola’s description of analogism, where he compares medieval Europe with (premodern?) China. Spinoza’s thinking has been linked by many scholars with taoism and similar Eastern ontologies. A third perspective is Spinoza’s method, which Spinoza himself describes in terms of natural science – in latin: more geometrico – the geometrical method . These two perspectives combined place him, again, somewhere between the two types of ontology, naturalism and analogism. This way, there seems to be reason to look for Spinoza’s thinking at an interstice between analogism and naturalism, from a historical as well as an epistemological perspective.
On the other hand – isn’t there a good deal of animism to Spinoza’s thinking? Isn’t this evident from his blurring of the boundary between what’s me and what’s in my environment? IE the thought, that I, as an individual, am composed of a myriad of beings, all individuals, and that I take part in a larger organism, composed of me plus other beings that I interact with, a process of composition which, at the end, makes Nature as a whole, one being. And isn’t it also evident from the way Spinoza thinks of ideas? That my body exists for my as a physical extension as well as the idea of that physical extension, and that all that exists in Nature, a stone, a plant, a horse, a human being exist as a combination of idea plus physical extension? So in fact, a stone has an idea about itself, just as much as I have – but to a different degree. This is a very central trait to animism, – actually the name derives from it – in the sense that everything is animated. A third point is Spinoza’s poignant anti-hierarchism. This is at least what a deleuzian reading would argue. According to Descola animist cultures – as opposed to what seems to be the case for those with a totemist ontology – are characterized by a very low to non-existent degree of hierarchy.
To finish off my improvisation. What I am – sofar – thinking on this issue is, that it seems to make sens to place Spinoza – historically and epistemologically – somewhere between analogism and naturalism. However, there seems to be some kind of leap going on, that takes him out of his expected ‘thought habitat’, and – as opposed to his contemporaries – links his thinking with animism. The only one of Descola’s 4 ontological regimes that Spinoza’s thinking seems to leave untouched is totemism. I guess that this might have to do with the question of hierarchy, as I have hinted at above. It also might be related to the fact that Spinoza doesn’t see the world in terms of categories. The world and its beings are, to Spinoza, a myriad of individuals, relating to each other not so much according to their ‘species’ or some other possible categorization based on physical og mental characteristics, as seems to be the case for totemism. Individuals are relating and making connections according to local, context based features. In this sense, what we understand as ‘a human being’ might build a stronger relation to ‘a mouse’ than to another human being. This is similar to totemism, with the important difference that the spinozist man-mouse relation is not based on an idea of a societal relationship – connecting a certain society of people to a (generalized) species of mice. The relationship is ad hoc.
In order to go further, it seems to make sense to do three comparative (pocket) studies, linking Spinoza’s thinking with respectively analogism, naturalism and animism…
Anyone out there who can help would be appreciated:-)
As I have promised (myself) in my second pocket research design, I am reading French Anthropologist Philippe Descola’s book “Beyond Nature and Culture”, while writing a ‘selective pocket summary’ here. And while reading: thinking… I am attacking Descola’s mammoth work from various angles at the time. I am reading it as a pdf, in English and French, in paper format, in French, and listening to the text via an app that reads pdfs with an artificial voice. This way, I am immersing myself in the work at different speeds, in different parts, at the same time. I am also reading comments by other scholars about the work, for instance this one: “Descola’s Beyond nature and culture, viewed from Central Brazil” (link). I am also listening to Descola’s current lectures at Collège de France titled “La composition des collectifs: Formes d’hybridation“.
From a global perspective, I begin to see a fundamental issue around the question of Descola’s Structuralism. Here, I will make a short pit stop, giving this issue a few thoughts before moving on. As you know, what I am doing here, is pocket research, and therefore I must assess the relation between time invested and possible outcome for my research. Descola’s book is immense, and I am having some doubts that my time is well spent, if its foundation is not solid. What I am trying to say is, that there seems to be an incongruity between on the one hand Descola’s ambition about wanting to understand each ethnic group from its own point of view, ie. its cosmology or ontology, while on the other, he wants to install a “structural framework”, that would allow us (… and who are ‘we’?), to “set up a typology of possible relationships to the world and others, be they human or nonhuman, and to examine their compatibilities and incompatibilities.” The problem is – as is always the case with universalisms – the question of centrality. Why would someone want to collect and centralise knowledge about the whereabouts of other people? This is what Descola does with his ambition of a ‘typology’ with its four different “ontological regimes” ― animism, totemism, analogism, and naturalism. According to Descola he himself is a naturalist, as we are all, in the West. It would be interesting to ask the question (as I believe Descola does somewhere in the book), how someone from one of the other ontological regimes would have conceived of a typology for the peoples of the world.
In any case, Descola’s endeavour makes me think about Max Weber and his ideal types. The idea is that we can’t access reality without categories. And reality is never really clean cut fitting into whichever category. It will always be a mix. This way, Descola’s argument would be (I am assuming), that real people will always live in some kind of mix, a hybrid between a combination of Descola’s ontological regimes. So for instance a little bit of animism combined with 20% totemism, etc. So why would someone want to centralise information about people(s)? First of all, we have to remind ourselves about the early raison d’être of Anthropology, which was to provide colonizers with information about local indigenous groups, in order to provide the former with tools for controlling and subverting the latter. Of course, Descola is well aware of that (and he mentions it somewhere I think in the beginning of the text). On the other hand, collecting information about our surroundings, processing them, learning from them, is part of something essential to life (cf. my thoughts on Spinoza, communication and information in living systems). This is one reason why I have decided to keep on reading: My aim – as stated in my pocket research design 2 – is to find out whether and how we Westerners might learn from “pre-modern forager societies” who adhere to “proto-ecological guidelines” to build a “bio-synergetic civilisation”. Another reason is part of my own personal intellectual history. Before taking my MA in Educational Anthropology, I was working – in a proto-academic fashion – on a model for what makes us a community
By continuing on the path traced out by Descola, I am being true to ‘my former self’, trying to develop these earlier thoughts further, while of course submitting them to a sharp critical scrutiny.
In other words: I am going back to reading!! As to you, dear reader: Keep on pitching in with your ideas, comments and suggestions!
As a part of my ‘pocket research program’, titled “Can we reason with nature?”, this is my second pocket research design. Here, I would like to follow up on a point, that Australian professor in environmental philosophy Freya Mathews raises in her article “Towards a Deeper Philosophy of Biomimicry” (read my pocket summary here):
“The outlines of a bio-synergistic civilization are still far from being worked out. Evidently such a civilization was – very faintly – fore-shadowed by pre-modern forager societies, or those of them at any rate that adhered to proto-ecological guidelines.”
I read two implicit questions in this paragraph that invite to a (pocket) research program:
- In what way can pre-modern forager societies be said to adhere to proto-ecological guidelines?
- How can these societies serve as a model for a bio-synergistic civilization?
I would like to address these questions, adding a spinozean conceptual framework to a pocket research design with the (working) title:
“Pre-modern forager societies vs Spinoza’s polis. A model for a more sustainable way of life in our time?”
Here is my plan: I want to
- find out more about the cosmologies of the Amerindian peoples, and whether they can be said to live according to ‘proto-ecological guidelines’. For this, I will read Philippe Descola’s book “Par-delà nature et culture”, and make a pocket summary, here.
- on this background I will write an essay about the extent to which these cosmologies might provide some kind of guidelines for a more sustainable way of interacting with our environment, in our current modern Western mass communities
- On the other hand, there is Spinoza’s pantheism, which is conceived in the run-up to modernity, and which explicitly refers to urbanity, the polis. Here I expect to read some Arne Næss and deep ecology. Probably also Matheron. We’ll see, when I get there.
An initial thought: I have often wondered why there are no more research done about a possible connection, between Spinoza’s thinking and pre-modern pagan traditions, including those whom the West must have had knowledge of from the colonies, at Spinoza’s time.
How can we create better connections amongst ourselves, and with our environment? Would we become better at connecting with each other if we were good at connecting with our environment? And vice versa?
This is my first ‘pocket research design‘, (read about my pocket method here), sketching the following ‘pocket research program’:
- First, I read Australian professor of environmental philosophy Freya Mathews’ article Towards a Deeper Philosophy of Biomimicry. See my summary here.
- Next, I discuss the question of a possible relationship between hierarchical societies and the way they treat their surroundings. Read my essay here.
- Finally, I discuss what role communication and cognition play in living systems and their interactions. (Coming up)
My third bullet is a really important project, however, I have understood the necessity of digging more into some aspects of human-environment interaction, which is why I by May 3rd 2018 launched my ‘Pocket research design 2’: Pre-modern forager societies vs Spinoza’s polis. A model for a more sustainable way of life in our time?

A.C. Newman's "Get Guilty" is a fair starting point for this blog to begin again. It's a simple album that is anything but simple, like most of Carl Newman's power-pop that he's known for. The album gets off to a good start in the first half, containing some of his finer melodies in the past recent years (and a major step up from most of the stuff from New Pornographers' last LP "Challengers") that do what Carl does best while also making his music sound all the more new again. In reinventing himself on his solo album he affirms listeners why his music still matters when it seems that his music might be starting to show signs of fatigue.
"The Heartbreak Rides" stands out as a one of the best tracks on the album, doing a good job of doing what Carl does best, using his pop standards to get a typical love-song message across, while at the same time creating a sonic sound that is totally original and yet familiar at the same time. Carl has the freedom here on his solo album to take chances that The New Pornographers aren't able to, doing slower ballads that sometimes don't go anywhere yet make for unique songs ("Thunderbolts," "Young Atlantis") and yet still creating striking work.
This also turns out to be the album's downfall as well. Too often the songs seem to be all build-up and no payoff. Not that there needs to be. Maybe that's what Carl is going for. But when the song sounds like it's going somewhere (again, "Thunderbolts") and never arrives it makes for a wavering experience, losing confidence in the singer in his handle of the material. It's still better than most of the albums out there you'll listen to this year, so it's worth a purchase and multiple listens, there are many things to pick up on repeat listens, as Newman is usually known for with his wall of sound approach, but this time the silent spots are more noticeable and good in away. Plus "Like a Hitman, Like a Dancer" just rocks and makes no sense at all. And that's what Carl does best.
Standout track: The Heartbreak Rides.

text: Although I wasn’t immediately taken with Santiago, probably due to extreme sleep deprivation/jet lag, it really did grow on me. The city itself is a popular destination for tourists due to it being a main stopover for connecting flights (to Peru in our case), however in the end we wished we had a couple more days here. Headed out to the Plaza de Armas and just so happened to stumble upon the free walking tour which was about to commence (running on South American time). Right time and place. We spent hours perusing various streets and sights including taking the funicular to San Cristobal Hill, visiting Pablo Neruda’s house (1 of 3). Hung out in bohemian Bellavista and had a traditional Chilean meal – corn mash pie with chicken, beef, raisins, egg, onion, etc. Chileans love their food & drink sweet, which often results in them adding sugar to everything (including my corn pie)! Their cuisine may not be the healthiest but it’s definitely generous and tasty! Speaking of drinks, we did get the chance to try Mote con Huesillo, a sweet peach-infused drink with wheat (similar to barley). Refreshing after a stroll and the perfect pick-me-up after walking around in the warm weather. However, we steered clear of the Terremoto (earthquake) – like a spider but substitute the soft drink for Pipeño, fermented sweet wine. Also stopped by a yummy gelato shop near La Starria. Highly recommend the restaurant Galindo, great service and delicious food. The walking tour helped us find our feet (pardon the pun), as you get a real feel for the city and venture into the undiscovered treasures & hidden gems. Our tour leader Franco was brilliant in sharing his rich historical understandings and helping us out with any queries or questions. All in all, today was infinitely better. Glad to leave the city on a good note. Next stop – Lima!

AddressTHE COUNTY GOVERNMENT OF LAMU P.O. Box 74-80500, LAMU
About Lamu County
The lamu Archipelago is a small group of Island situated on KenyaÂ´s Northen Coast line, near Somali. It is made up of Lamu, Manda, pate and Kiwayuu islands.
Lamu town is the headquarter of Lamu District, one of the six districts of KenyaÂ´s Coast Province, which boarders... read more the Indian Ocean to the east, the Tana River District to the South-West, the Garissa District to the North and the republic of somali to the North-East.
The County has a land surface area of 6,474.7 Km2 that includes the mainland and over 65 Islands that forms the Lamu Archipelago. The total length of the coastline is 130 km while land water mass area stands at 308km
The streets of Lamu are nowhere more than eight feet wide. The proximity
of the high stone walls cools the air and means that the streets are always in shadow.
An unforeseen benefit of their narrowness means that there are no motor vehicles in Lamu; all transport is by handcarts and donkeys. There are over 160 historic houses clustered in Stone Town, all built to the same traditional design, with a central courtyard surrounded by long narrow galleries and a flat open roof, sometimes shaded by a palm- frond thatch shelter.


If Rep. Ted Deutch, D-Boca Raton, runs for Senate in 2016 (a possibility discussed in Monday’s Politics column), he can expect to get a call from state Sen. Joseph Abruzzo, D-Wellington, sounding him out about his House seat.
Deutch and Abruzzo share many of the same constituents, and Abruzzo is interested in representing them in Congress one day if Deutch moves on.
Deutch’s heavily Democratic Palm Beach-Broward seat will be a magnet for ambitious Dems if it becomes open.
But Democrats will have a tougher time recruiting a viable candidate in Palm Beach-Treasure Coast District 18, which has a slight Republican lean, if Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Jupiter, pursues a Senate bid.
Abruzzo is known for his ability to work with Republicans in Tallahassee. But he doesn’t sound particularly interested in the Murphy seat if it becomes open.
“We are poised to kick off a strong state Senate re-election campaign in May when legislative session concludes. At this time, I have not given any consideration running in Rep. Murphy’s district should he decide to run for U.S. Senate,” Abruzzo said in an email.
Abruzzo continued: “Congressman Deutch is my congressman, if he decides to move into position to represent our constituency in a better way, then I will speak to my family, our community leadership and Congressman Deutch. At this time I am focused on the upcoming legislative session and serving our caucus as Democratic Whip.”


I'm using system.directoryservices.accountmanagment and c# I'm trying to programmatically count the number of disabled accounts on the network.
Here is the part of the code that I'm using to get that those numbers.
int count = 0;

// then I gon on to display count
Problem is that it always displays 0. Please help. Thanks. I eventually want to be able to programmatically find the number of lockedaccounts as well.

Here is how to get a Visa Card in Nigeria. Almost every single person out there has debit card they use these days, but not every person realizes the advantages that comes with having one. Below you can find more information on how to apply for Visa Card in Nigeria.
Most Debit cards in Nigeria function on fundamental level. They are issued by banks so that cardholders can simply and fast move money from one bank account to another electronically. When making a purchase, money is withdrawn directly from the cardholder’s bank account, and is deducted. Visa debit cards work as an ATM or as a check so that when purchase is made, money is deducted from the cardholders account quickly.
You can use your Visa debit card to make purchases while traveling abroad or in Nigeria, as well as via online.
While there are many online global merchants who accept Visa Debit purchases, you need to verify each merchant accepts Visa Debit before carrying out a transaction as a Visa credit card.
Regular debit cards do not get continual monitoring for fraud, but a Visa card advantages from Visa 24/7 fraud checking and zero liability for fraudulent purchases.
Anyway, be extremely careful that you are taking all of the right precautions for protecting your pin and card number from anyone besides yourself in order to be eligible for Zero liability. In the case of the unauthorised use, you must cooperate with the investigation and present that you had reasonable protection of your card and information in order to get a refund of unauthorized debits.
A visa debit card has these advantages in common with a regular debit card – because these are not credit transactions they are not charged interest, and do not get forgotten until a shocking bill comes in the mail.
Bear in mind that if you are looking to rebuild your credit rating, a prepaid credit card is a remarkable tool for that. Prepaid credit cards report your payment to the credit bureaus, which support you to build up your credit score while still spending your own cash rather than using new credit. Debit/Visa cards do not report to the credit bureaus, so they cannot help to raise your credit score. But the cash managing and budgeting aspects talked earlier, they may help better general finances for those with bad credit.

Abstract 167: Collateral Flow and ASPECTS of Infarct Evolution Dominate Time to Reperfusion in Outcomes of TREVO2
Background: Definitive reperfusion, or revascularization associated with good clinical outcomes, is likely dependent on key imaging variables. ASPECTS score on imaging before and after revascularization may chronicle the extent of ischemic injury in acute stroke. We hypothesized that ASPECTS and other key imaging variables would be associated with clinical outcome after endovascular therapy in the TREVO2 trial.
Methods: TREVO2 utilized independent core labs for CT/MRI and angiography central review. Retrospective review of ASPECTS by expert consensus on baseline and 24 hour imaging was conducted in anterior circulation cases, blinded to all other data. Univariate and multivariate analyses determined the impact of key imaging variables (baseline ASPECTS, ASPECTS ≥ 8, collaterals, time to TICI 2a reperfusion or greater, final TICI, 24-hour ASPECTS) on good clinical outcome (mRS 0-2) and mortality at day 90.
Results: 166/177 cases in TREVO2 were anterior circulation occlusions. Baseline ASPECTS was ≤ 7 in 83/166 (50%) cases. Baseline ASPECTS score ≤ 7 was unrelated to age, gender, or any other clinical parameter other than NIHSS score (median 19 (17-23) vs. 17 (13-20) for ASPECTS > 7, p<0.001) and clot location (more ICA than M2 occlusions, p=0.044). Baseline ASPECTS ≤ 7 was also unrelated to post-device TICI or post-procedure SICH. Baseline ASPECTS ≤ 7 was associated with asymptomatic hemorrhage at 24 hours (63.9% vs. 37.3%, p=0.001), 90-day mortality (35.4% vs. 19.3%, p=0.024), and less frequent good clinical outcome (21.5% vs. 42.0%, p=0.007). Univariate imaging predictors of good clinical outcome at day 90 included baseline ASPECTS (OR 1.82, p<0.001), baseline ASPECTS ≥ 8 (OR 2.64, p=0.006), collateral grade (OR 1.85, p=0.003), post-procedure TICI (OR 2.11, p<0.001), 24-hour ASPECTS (OR 1.67, p<0.001) and 24-hour ASPECTS ≥ 8 (OR 4.38, p<0.001). Time to TICI 2a or greater was not predictive. Multivariate analyses showed that 24-hour ASPECTS (OR 1.70, p<0.001) and post-procedure TICI (OR 2.49, p=0.003) best predicted good outcome.
Conclusions: Better ASPECTS (≥ 8), collaterals, and reperfusion are strongly associated with good clinical outcome whereas the large proportion (50%) of TREVO2 cases with baseline ASPECTS ≤ 7 likely influenced mortality.

D-ENERGi is a real alternative to the big six energy suppliers.
Incorporated in 2002 we have become one of the longest established and well respected UK independent businesses energy suppliers.
Enjoy Low Half Hourly Electricity Prices
As a busy business owner, wouldn’t it be great to enjoy low half hourly electricity prices to reduce overheads?
For larger firms and enterprises, then this process may be a tad more involved than for smaller firms because your business may be a large energy user and have half hourly meters installed. They are sometimes referred to as ‘HH’ meters.
These half hourly meters help deliver accurate electricity bills because your usage data is sent to the supplier every 30 minutes, hence the name.
But these meters are not just helpful for delivering accurate bills because you can use the data to find a cheaper deal from another supplier.
Search for half hourly electricity suppliers
In the search for half hourly electricity suppliers, having the usage data means you can tailor your electricity contract to meet your firm’s exact needs and help with budgeting.
This means you can sign up to a fixed rate with some certainty as to what your future bills will be though you could still sign up to a variable rate deal with the price of electricity falling or rising during the year which may suit your needs better.
If your business has been growing, then unless you’ve been informed by a supplier that you need a half hourly meter, you need to check whether your peak electricity demand has been at least 100 KVA (Kilo Volt Amperes) in a year.
If you are unsure, then check a recent bill and the supply number should begin with ’00’ to indicate that there is a half hourly meter installed on your premises.
Cheaper half hourly electricity prices
However, it is still worthwhile searching the marketplace for cheaper half hourly electricity prices from a range of suppliers to help reduce overheads.
If you’ve never bothered switching before then it’s likely that you are paying more than is necessary because your provider may have rolled you automatically onto a contract with ‘deemed’ rates.
The easiest way of searching the entire half hourly electricity supply market is to speak with the friendly team at D-Energi who can find a new supplier and take care of the switchover process to bring peace of mind service to a busy business owner.
If you would like to know more about how you and your business can enjoy low half hourly electricity prices, then it’s time to contact the experts at D-Energi to see what they can do for you today.

"it's also because with full digital you can't get cheap physical copy sony see no money from."
You said "Sony see no money from". And that is false, because those physical games ultra cheap didn't sold 1 year ago, Sony got the royalties money from 1 year ago at full price.
The game will have legs if people want to buy it. Games like Horizon are manufacturing yet today at lower price, or you really think the copy you could buy today, was manufactured 4 years ago?. Only games what were commercial failures don't have legs. So, physical copies don't damage legs anyway

Honest, Fast, and professional Service. and yes!, I would hire a Nick Again for my garage door Repair. Thanks
Very professional, called in the AM, had the repair work done by the end of the day, the day after Thanksgiving!
Nick was very easy to deal with. He gave us upfront price information and an honest evaluation of repair and maintenance options without trying to up-sell us. I highly recommend this company.
Nick was very professional. Arrived when he said he would. Job was done quicker then anticipated. Highly recommend to anyone in our area!
Instant response and Nick was really professional in his work.He showed up on time as promised. Clearly explained the problem and possible solution options. He knew what he was doing and job was completed in approx 30 mins. I would definitely recommend him
Quick response time and personal service direct from the Owner. Accommodated my schedule, professional, courteous, trustworthy. No pressure sales and presented all options. I highly recommend Nick and I thoroughly screened 3 different companies
After my 16-yr old nephew accidentally ran into the garage overhead door, I was unhappily prepared to replace the bottom two sections. Even after popping out the areas that had been pushed in (steel-core door), the door was almost impossible to raise and lower. Nick came out and showed me how replacing the damaged hardware would solve the problem without replacing the entire door--so long as I didn't mind the few remaining small dents in the panel surface! He was very efficient and the job was done in about an hour. He even installed a steel reinforcement across the inside of the door at hood level (I have two more teenaged nephews). Saved me $1500 versus the cost of a new door and the repaired door raises and lowers like new. Very pleased!
Nick was super professional and friendly, as well as quick and efficient. I called on a Friday and wasn't expecting to be able to get someone to come out until the following week (it was a Labor Day weekend). Nick came out same day and had the door working like a brand new door within an hour. Very high quality work for the money and excellent service. Highly recommended
Very professional and knowledgeable. Presented several options for the repair. I chose additional improvements to my garage door system with a lifetime warranty. This increased the cost, but also the value.
Nick was very thorough in his assessment of my garage door's problem, and he knew exactly how to fix it. It was a minor issue that was easily remedied and took less than 30 minutes to get the garage door working again. I will definitely recommend Nick to my circle of influence and to my senior clients who live independently in their own homes. His repair cost was fair and reasonable
Nick was very prompt reaching out to me to schedule the work, and helpful working around my schedule. He was able to come that evening, a few hours later, and completely fixed my garage door within about 45 minutes. Super nice and friendly, and honest about what needed to be done now vs. what could wait to be done in the future. Great experience working with them
Nick provided different options to address my concerns with my current garage opener. I chose the Lift Master with a battery backup, as power outages are frequent in my development. He was timely, efficient and spent the time instructing on the features of my new system. I would highly recommend The Garage Door Guys for your garage door/opener needs.

THE HUNTRESS is the story about
Nina Markova, an female Russian bomber pilot that has joined forces
with Ian Graham an English journalist to hunt down a deadly Nazi
murderess known as the Huntress. The Huntress managed to get away
after several heinous deeds and both Nina and Ian have personal
reasons for hunting her down. But how will they find someone they
don't even know the name of or have a picture of? Meanwhile in
Boston, Jordan McBride is getting to know the woman her father is
planning to marry, a German widow who seems to be the perfect
woman for Jordan's father, but there is something with her that makes
The very first book I read by Kate Quinn was the great THE ALICE NETWORK and I've been
looking forward to reading THE
HUNTRESS for some time now. And let me tell you, this book is
good really, really good. In my opinion, is it even better than THE ALICE NETWORK . There is just
something really compelling with this story that made me so engrossed
that I could hardly put it away. For one thing, it's a really thick book,
and I'm actually not a big fan of books that are over 500 pages. Unless
the author knows how to write a story that works all the way to the end.
Kate Quinn knows definitely how to write a story that works all the way.
There are three different storylines interwoven and all of them are
equally interesting to follow. I also, want to add that Nina Markova is
one of the best female characters I've ever read about. She's tough and
deadly and she drives poor Ian mad, which is hilarious to read about
amides all darkness.
THE HUNTRESS is the perfect
book if you want to read and engrossing book about the hunt for an
elusive Nazi killer.
From the author of the New York Times and
USA Today bestselling novel, THE ALICE NETWORK,
comes another fascinating historical novel about a
battle-haunted English journalist and a Russian female
bomber pilot who join forces to track the Huntress, a Nazi
war criminal gone to ground in America.
In the aftermath of war, the hunter becomes the
Bold and fearless, Nina Markova always dreamed of flying.
When the Nazis attack the Soviet Union, she risks everything
to join the legendary Night Witches, an all-female night
bomber regiment wreaking havoc on the invading Germans. When
she is stranded behind enemy lines, Nina becomes the prey of
a lethal Nazi murderess known as the Huntress, and only
Ninaâ€™s bravery and cunning will keep her alive.
Transformed by the horrors he witnessed from Omaha Beach to
the Nuremberg Trials, British war correspondent Ian Graham
has become a Nazi hunter. Yet one target eludes him: a
vicious predator known as the Huntress. To find her, the
fierce, disciplined investigator joins forces with the only
witness to escape the Huntress alive: the brazen, cocksure
Nina. But a shared secret could derail their mission unless
Ian and Nina force themselves to confront it.
