Pine nuts provide a buttery contrast to the tart capers in this sophisticated veal dish.
- Yield
- Serves 2
- 2 bacon slices, chopped
- 6 ounces veal scallops (about 6 scallops), pounded very thin
- All purpose flour (for dredging)
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
- 1 tablespoon drained capers
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh sage or 1/2 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
- Fresh sage leaves (optional)
- Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Transfer to bowl using slotted spoon. Season veal with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour; shake off excess. Add 1 tablespoon butter to pan drippings in skillet and melt over medium-high heat. Add veal and sauté until just cooked through, about 1 minute per side. Divide veal between 2 plates; tent with foil to keep warm. Add wine to same skillet and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Boil until liquid is reduced to 3 tablespoons, about 2 minutes. Whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Mix in pine nuts, capers, minced sage and bacon. Season with pepper. Spoon sauce over veal. Garnish with sage leaves if desired and serve.

Heating and ventilating a finished basement
Q. We have done some renovation in our basement. We have installed a washroom, created two work stations, and left an open space for other recreational purposes. We have also enclosed an area that has the water tank (we have well water and septic system) that is used for the storage of pots, pans and other miscellaneous items. We are faced with two major concerns and seek your advice on the following:
- How do we provide ventilation as well as heat to the basement area? (No vents were installed at construction.)
- The walls of the storage area that was Sheetrocked and painted has begun to mildew and it is spreading over most of the base of the walls. What corrective action is recommended to cure this problem?
We should add that although this storage area had no vents, prior to the installation of Sheetrock and painting, there was no seeping or visible water marks on the walls in the area.
If you could provide your expert advice on how we could handle the concerns mentioned we would be very appreciative.
A. You do not need ventilation in a basement; opening windows in summer would create a bad moisture problem.
Heat should be provided with an extension of your present heating system. If you have a hydronic (hot water) system, a separate zone for the basement is the best solution. If you have a warm-air system, heat ducts should be installed properly (not simply cut out of a main in the basement). Ducts should be run down to the floor with multi-directional grilles. An experienced HVAC contractor will know how to do this.
Mildew that has developed at the base of the walls tells you that you have a very high relative humidity and you need to operate a dehumidifier in the warm months of the year. Select one with a large enough capacity to handle the cubic footage of the basement and keep all doors to the various spaces open, but if this is not possible and you need to keep doors closed to some of the spaces, you may need more than one dehumidifier.by

If you ingest a medium-size oyster — as many revelers did during the holiday season — you get about 10 calories, 1 gram of protein and the pleasure derived from savoring a luxurious treat. If you take in the oyster exhibition at the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, you miss out on the calories, the protein and the cost, but you still get to enjoy a treat. "Oysters, Pearls of Long Island Sound" is a fascinating stew of oyster lore, oyster science, oyster commerce and oyster history — not to mention a bit of oyster porn, in the brief but vivid video of several bivalves in turn spraying clouds of eggs and sperm into the water.
Among the more intriguing facts you'll learn from this show: The Eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, typically spends the first three years of its life as a male and then becomes a female. Thus, it's possible that the female in the video is the same individual as the male, just photographed later in its life cycle. How different the world would be if all men and women knew they would be spending a chunk of their lives as the opposite sex! The tiny oyster larvae, called trochophores, are so delectable to other sea creatures that only one in a million lives long enough to morph into an oyster. And, once mature and even more delectable, oysters fall prey to birds, like gulls and oystercatchers (there's a stuffed one in the exhibition), and mammals, like raccoons and us.
But until such time as a starfish pries them apart and sucks up their innards, or we shuck them and fry them or bake them or eat them raw, oysters will help purify the sea as they filter gallons and gallons of water through their digestive systems. They will help protect the shoreline by clustering in vast, reeflike beds that attenuate waves. And those beds will shelter entire communities of marine life.
Connecticut waters yield some 22 million oysters every year, the harvest of some 70,000 acres of underwater farmland. In photographs, paintings and implements of the trade, the Bruce's exhibit traces the centuries-old interaction between the oysters of Long Island Sound and the people who have lived beside them. Before the arrival of Europeans, Native Americans gathered and processed oysters for smoking with some of the handmade items on display, leaving behind mountainous piles of shells.
Indians' dugout canoes gave way to small, flat-bottomed sailboats, like those pictured in the Childe Hassam painting "Oyster Sloop, Cos Cob" and the sepia-toned photograph of the Stevens Oyster House, a processing plant in Rowayton. Steam-powered boats like the Kate C. Stevens, represented in the show by a small model, could range more widely and haul back larger loads; the industrial-sized oyster tongs and oyster dredge on display convey the larger scale of the later operations. It's not hard to figure out how the oysters that had been so plentiful and cheap in the 19th century — they were sold as street food in New York City — became scarce and expensive in the 20th. Increasingly polluted water helped destroy the beds, too, and Connecticut's oyster population rebounded only in the 1970s, after passage of the Clean Water Act.
Luckily, the Eastern oyster, the only one native to our waters, is not very good at making pearls, or it might have disappeared altogether. The exhibit includes a nice little display of pearls on the half-shell, but the really dazzling objects in "Oysters, Pearls of Long Island Sound" — some curious, some beautiful — are the samples of oysters and other shellfish from around the world.
The labeling can be a bit confusing, but you'll eventually figure out that the gorgeous explosion of pink and yellow is the leafy jewelbox clam, and the one that looks like a plump white porcupine is the Atlantic thorny oyster, both inhabitants of the East Coast south of the Carolinas. The bizarre hammer oyster, from the Indo-Pacific, does look like some kind of tool, and the leathery saddle oyster, from Southwest Asia, resembles a saddle.
The shells of immature oysters, called spat, cling to a rubber overshoe and a plastic doll's leg — did its original owner throw her away or lose her? Did she ever dream that oysters would end up colonizing her doll? Perhaps she'll come to the Bruce and recognize her long-lost plaything in the showcase.
Like all the shows in the museum's natural science wing, "Oysters, Pearls of Long Island Sound" is G-rated. But it does briefly touch on the legendary connection between oysters and libido — human libido, as opposed to shellfish libido. A discreetly placed panel notes that although medical science has yet to establish cause and effect, Casanova is supposed to have eaten 50 oysters for breakfast every day.
They were cheaper then.

AeroVironment, Developer of the Nano Hummingbird, Unveils Snipe™, A New, Stealthy Nano Quadrotor UAS
AUVSI XPONENTIAL – AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV), a global leader in unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) for both military and commercial applications, today officially unveiled the new Snipe Nano Quad, a miniature ("Class 0") and field-rugged unmanned aircraft system designed to support close-range intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions. The first U.S. government customer delivery of 20 Snipe systems took place in April.
This Smart News Release features multimedia. View the full release here: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20170509005426/en/

"Snipe's tiny size belies its impressive capabilities," said Kirk Flittie, AeroVironment vice president and general manager of its Unmanned Aircraft Systems business segment. "It is quick, quiet, fast, durable and packed with advanced features critical to helping our customers succeed in close-range missions."
"Snipe enables operators to spring into action quickly," Flittie said. "No assembly is required for the five-ounce (140-gram) nano-UAS, which is designed to be worn by its operator so it can be deployed in less than a minute."
Equipped with electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR), low-light-capable and long-wave infrared (LWIR) sensors in an integrated tilt mechanism, Snipe can relay high-resolution images and record real-time video both day and night. In addition, Snipe's integrated UHF radio provides for excellent non-line-of-sight operation. The software-defined radio (SDR) allows Snipe to be sold commercially.
With its quiet electric motors, flight speeds exceeding 20 mph and more than one-kilometer range, Snipe is difficult to detect in operating environments with even minimal ambient noise. Its rechargeable batteries power approximately 15 minutes of flight time. Despite its small size, the durable nano-UAS is capable of operating under challenging environmental conditions – including winds of 15+ mph with gusts up to 20 mph.
"While Snipe's stealthiness makes it ideally suited for military applications, it's an invaluable asset for anyone needing a 'Class 0' UAS to support their missions," Flittie said.
Snipe is controlled using an intuitive app on a standard, ruggedized (MIL-STD 810) touch screen controller with intuitive user interface and automated operation for ease of use. Other critical functions include Snipe's ability to return to its operator automatically if it loses its radio link.
Snipe benefits from advances in nano unmanned technology achieved by the company in its development of the internationally recognized Nano Hummingbird. "The Nano Hummingbird, the world's first unmanned aircraft capable of propulsion and control using two flapping wings, is an example of how our breakthrough innovation has spawned a valuable new capability in Snipe that now will help our customers proceed with certainty," added Flittie.
AeroVironment's Snipe Nano Quadrotor will be available to order Fall 2017. Operator training requires four hours only.
About AeroVironment
AeroVironment (NASDAQ: AVAV) provides customers with more actionable intelligence so they can proceed with certainty. Based in California, AeroVironment is a global leader in unmanned aircraft systems, tactical missile systems and electric vehicle charging and test systems, and serves militaries, government agencies, businesses and consumers.

We did it!
Disco Picnic raised £2,330 from 92 supporters
Start your own crowdfunding page
Closed 26/12/2016
We've raised £2,330 to provide 600 Christmas dinners for the rough sleepers of London over Christmas Eve, Christmas Day & Boxing Day
- London, United Kingdom
- Funded on Monday, 26th December 2016
What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered nonprofit.
The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.
Help us this Christmas feed some of London's most vulnerable people.
We're raising funds to buy produce so that we can cook & supply Christmas dinners to London's rough sleepers.
We're teaming up with existing organisations to supply them with hot meals, to be served from their centres.
We have kindly been allowed the full use of a professional kitchen for free, on December 24th 25th & 26th. Across these three days we want to cook as many hot meals as possible.
Your donations are vital, as the money raised is what we will be buying our produce with.
We aim to supply 120 to 200 meals per day. Each meal costs £3.50 to produce. We would like to reach our maximum goal of £2,100 & provide 600 meals across the three days.
We have a core group of dedicated volunteers who are donating their time across the three days to help cook, package & deliver the meals.
All we need now are your donations. Please donate what you can. Even a small amount can really make a difference.
We don't need to tell you how important this work is year round, but especially at this time year, we must all come together to help those less fortunate.
No one should be forgotten. Especially at Christmas.
Thank You
Free Picnic

Read about our Users' Experiences
More Confidence
With Renew Inserts, my confidence has gone sky high! I feel more like a woman. I can go out without fear. I can go to a restaurant, cinema, and enjoy myself. I can socialize. I have friends come over and I visit them. It was impossible before Renew Inserts. I can live again.Michelle, 60
I feel I am totally free to be me. I don't have to hide behind the potential fear of embarrassment.Lynn, 43
I can say that I can now go anywhere and do anything that I was too scared to do before. I can swim, wear light clothes, it's fantastic! I don't worry anymore.Gunilla, 50
I don't pile on the pads now. I have much more confidence. I can go out and I know I am not going to embarrass myself. Daily things like grocery shopping, I can now take my time. I can relax more, I'm not so uptight.Gail, 49
Freedom To Travel
I feel I lead a normal, fuller life. Before, I would never have considered going to the gym or swimming, things I thought I'd never do again. Now, I do these things without thinking. The big thing for me was being able to go by plane, stress free. I was so grateful!Christine, 62
Before Renew Inserts, my life revolved around, 'what if?' I constantly had to be prepared and have extra stuff with me. Now, I can run out of the house in a heartbeat without having to make sure I have a spare changing bag, like you have for a baby.Lynn, 43
Renew Inserts have reduced my anxiety and stress levels. Before Renew Inserts, I didn't have much of a life. I might get an invite to a wedding or christening, and it all becomes too anxious because I could not go on long journeys. All journeys were full of anxiety, with worry over availability and proximity of bathrooms. I now lead a normal and fuller lifestyle. Renew Inserts have become part of my life, part of my daily routine.Christine, 62
Renew Inserts have changed my life in a lot of ways. On vacation, I used to wear skirts and now I wear bikini bottoms, it's so liberating. I have a favourite white pair of pants and now I can wear them again. I can take them on holiday too. It was quite depressing before, and now I don't have to bother about it. I rarely think about it.Wendy, 53
Easy To Use
No problems. I went dancing and I couldn't feel it. I tried to feel it when I was sitting and I couldn't. I thought, 'isn't that good to get something that works that easily?' And it's drug-free and not hurting me.Pauline, 68
Initially Renew Inserts sounded awful. Had anyone told me before, I would have thought they'd be invasive, messy. I only tried them because I had nothing to lose. I found Renew Inserts surprisingly comfortable. I felt relief when I knew they worked, relief that there was another option.Geraldine, 44
Renew Inserts are so easy to use because of the ease of application. They are small and they don't inhibit the way you look because they are hidden.Lynn, 43
Renew Inserts are so easy to use because of the applicator-how it's made and what it's made from. I have had more discomfort from a tampon than I have ever had from Renew Inserts.Michelle, 60
It Really Works
Nothing compares to Renew Inserts. The security you have is fantastic, there is no comparison.Gunilla, 50.
Renew Inserts are cleaner, more comfortable, made me feel less self-conscious, and are more hygienic.Geraldine, 44
There's no comparison. You cannot compare. It's not possible. The Renew Inserts are like something from the future, while pads are like something from the past. I am all for the future.Michelle, 60
It's not a comparison. When I was using a pad, I didn't feel clean, there's an odor with them. I'm not worried about odor now.Yvonne, 46
Advice For Getting Started
Try it and never look back. It gives you back your life, your independence. You've got control and choice back in your life.Christine, 62
Give it a go, you don't know until you give it a go. Don't be afraid, there is nothing to be afraid of.Michelle, 60
If you feel sceptical, I understand. I was too. It isn't a miracle cure, but it works for me. It is a bit strange, but it's worth it.Yvonne, 46
Try it. You could easily give up, but you must stick with it for at least a month, because I think when you use it first you are anxious, give yourself time to relax.Wendy, 53
Practical Tips
I tried alternating regular and large, until I decided regular was better.Gail, 49
I had regular and large, I did try large once, but I felt it was there, so I went back to regular, which was fine, and I couldn't feel it.Maxine, 49
Being relaxed, not tense, when you insert is important.Michelle, 60
When I urinated, the regular inserts would come out every time, so I tried the large, and it stopped happening.Wendy, 53

It is 30 years since the Pretenders released their first single, a cover of the Kinks' Stop Your Sobbing, and for some of us it feels like yesterday. The sound was staccato and yet melodic; you could pogo, but it also called out to your heart. At the centre of it was Chrissie Hynde, heavily kohled eyes under her slab of fringe, guitar pistoned against her tight-jeaned hips, a woman among the boys. To any teenager, skulking the suburbs in jumble-sale stilettos with a rack of badges on her lapels, she embodied the right sort of rebellion – less Banshee than Siouxsie, edgier than Debbie Harry – cool, angry, distrustful and yet somehow grown up.
As I round the corner from the Tube, Hynde, 57, edges out of a black taxi just ahead of me. She is in high boots and skinny jeans, waist nipped in a natty navy jacket with white edging. Her hair, still long and fringed, is greying. Her gait as she walks towards the office of her publicity company is slightly awkward, lopsided, even (cartilage problems with her left knee). It is as if the accoutrements of Chrissie Hynde are all there, but not the spirit, and then – thank God – she pauses before the front door, throws a cigarette to the ground and skewers it with one contemptuous heel.
Inside she sits, legs apart, a cup of black coffee on the table in front of her. Famously she hates publicity – just does it for 'the guys' in the band – and many of her answers, delivered in that sideways American accent, seem like a defensive lob, an attitude struck. ('Don't get me wrong' runs round your head.) Her boots are Stella McCartney's non-leather – 'Though you can get the cheap junk at the market and I'm just a street guy anyway.'
The Pretenders (after deaths and departures, a new incarnation) are releasing an album, 'Break up the Concrete', in conjunction with a 'Best Of'.Has her voice changed? 'It hasn't.' Her guitar playing? 'I have primitive skills. My guitar playing hasn't improved.' Her audiences? 'Nutters, probably.' She says she still, 30 years on, gets the jitters before a live performance – does she do anything to calm her nerves? She looks as if I have suggested she take afternoon tea with the Queen. 'No. I'm, you know… a rock singer.'
Then I ask if, when she listens back to Stop Your Sobbing, or Brass in Pocket, the number one that followed, it feels like yesterday to her, too. She leans forward and says, 'You know, I had a bit of a shock. We've played those songs live, but I hadn't listened to the recorded versions since we made them. And, yeah, I thought about the guys, the remarkable people, the friends who had come and gone. When we started I didn't think of it as a career. It was almost like a dirty word. It was kind of a lifestyle, living outside the law, really, being outside the establishment, doing your thing. I still feel like that.'
She brings her hands together as if she is going to crack the knuckles, but leaves them, almost in prayer. 'I used to think I was ordinary and just like everybody else, and I am, but there is something about being in a band. It's not for everyone. You know, not everyone wants to be on a bus with five guys, travelling overnight from city to city. But there is something about that feeling when you get to a gig and you see the scaffolding and the lighting crew and it's kind of minging, and you just feel like you're home.'
Hynde was 21 in 1973, when, already 'kind of a vagabondeshe arrived in London from Akron, Ohio, her head full of the Velvet Underground and Iggy Pop. 'I came from a very colourless, suburban, medium nothing. I'd never even been on a train.' It took her five years to find a band, but she found herself rather quicker. 'I knew nobody when I got here. It was real good for my own personal discovery. I didn't have anyone saying to me, "Oh, my God, you're wearing hot pants. I can't believe you're wearing hot pants." Because nobody knew me. I could do and say and think anything I wanted. I could discover who this guy really was.'
She worked in Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren's shop, spent time at NME, hung out with the Sex Pistols – even almost married Sid Vicious to stay in the country. She played and sang along the way with Mick Jones (the Clash) and Captain Sensible (the Damned), but it wasn't until 1978, and at 26 already quite a mature singer, that she rubbed up against the bassist Pete Farndon and the guitarist James Honeyman-Scott, and the Pretenders were born.
The original line-up was tragically short-lived; Farndon and Honeyman-Scott both died of drug-related deaths within a year of each other (1982 and 1983). 'Sad? Yeah, but that's life. There is sadness every day. I'm mindful not to get too self-pitying or too revealing of my own pain. Everyone else has theirs. They don't need mine.' Hynde, who was never interested in a solo career ('I'm nothing without a band. I always feel like I'm part of the road crew until I'm on stage'), kept the hits coming – Back on the Chain Gang, Don't Get Me Wrong, Middle of the Road – with various recruited musicians.
How does she recruit new band members? She laughs. 'It's not just how they play. It's how they look, how they walk, how they sit. If I see one of my band members walking down the street, as far as I am concerned they represent the band. I hung out with this guy once. He was a songwriter and we used to play this game in the cinema queue. We would stand there and observe people and say, "What do you think he does?" And, you know, it's nice if you see one of my guys and you're playing that game and you say, "What does that guy do? Easy. He's in a rock band'
She is not saying who the songwriter was – 'There have been so many,' she drawls ironically – but it might have been Ray Davies of the Kinks. She was cited in his divorce and they had a child together, Natalie, in 1983. Or it might have been Jim Kerr, the singer with Simple Minds, for whom she left Davies in 1984. They also had a daughter, Yasmin, though after Kerr moved on to Patsy Kensit in 1990 she effectively became a double single mother. 'Unfortunately. I didn't plan it that way. But I laughed my head off with my kids. I always put them first. They always had their bedtime. They didn't see a show of mine until they were about 14.'
She has always been intensely protective of her children, citing her friends Paul and the late Linda McCartney as 'an inspiration' in that. 'It's not cool to have a famous parent. I pulled back once I had them. I did just the least amount to get by. I think it's a real burden to be living in the shade of someone. I never talk about my kids, but my daughter has a great story. She's an actress – her surname is Kerr – and she was on some film set and everyone was treating her as if something was going on, and finally, at the end of the shoot, someone said, "So what's it like to be Deborah Kerr's granddaughter?' Hynde roars with laughter, then sobers. 'I was never photographed with them in public. Only one time. There was a documentary on Joe Strummer, and I said to my girls, who were instinctively staying away, "Come on, girls, get your picture taken." And one of my daughters was horrified. She said, "Come on, Mum, that goes against everything you ever told us," and I said – we all loved Joe – "Let's do it for Joe." Only time.' Her most recent marriage, to the sculptor Lucho Brieva, ended in 2002. Any current romance? 'Romance would be nice,' she says drily.
Nowadays Hynde lives in the same area of central London (she won't tell me exactly where) in which she has always lived. 'I know there are beautiful parts of town where it's leafy and green and clean, but I am more comfortable here, just like I'd prefer a bus to a limousine.' She follows Vaishnavism, a branch of Hinduism, and has a vegan diet. She owns a restaurant VegiTerranean, in Akron, and has plans to open another in New York. Is she a good cook herself? 'I'm kind of a brown-rice hippy. I don't think I'd have much success if I tried a dinner party, but I'm not going to have one and I've never been invited to one, and that's just fine. I can't see myself sitting round a table with a bunch of medias, drinking wine and talking about politics. That's not going to happen.'
She once taught John McEnroe to play the guitar; did she learn tennis in return? 'I don't do sports.' If she goes to the cinema, she goes alone. 'If I don't like a film I want to walk off. I don't want to have to argue with someone.' She is involved with the animal-rights group Peta (quite happy to be arrested on occasion), and, 'If I'm needed to do a KFC protest and I'm in the right town at the right time I'll do it.'
Most of all she works. When the Pretenders are not enjoying one of their fitful phases of activity she guests. 'I have done an unbelievable f–ing amount of guesting,' she says. You can
tell how much she enjoys this by how animated she gets (you often sense a tension between her desire to be a 'vagabond' and a musical temperament that wants to pin things down). She recorded Luck Be a Lady with Frank Sinatra for his 1994 album, 'Duets II. 'I'm probably the only person in the world who hasn't seen Guys and Dolls and when I heard it I got a real shock. 'Cos Frank is in New York and I'm in some basement in Soho with an engineer I've never met and he's got someone on the line from America and he's like, "OK, Chrissie," and I'm like, "Oh, f– It was not in a register that was comfortable for me.'
She met Gloria Estefan at 'some crazy girls-with-guitar thing', bonded with her ('just hanging out, she was wicked') and agreed to sing on her 2003 album, 'Unwrapped'. 'I rang up this engineer, Julie, that I work with, said, "Have you got a couple of hours? I'll just knock this out." And after about 10 hours I was still struggling, 'cos Gloria's phrasing is so different. She's got this whole Latino thing going on. You know, it happens all the time. You think it will be a doddle and you turn up to blag it, and you're just, "F– f– f– f– f– f– f–, what was I thinking? No.'
On ageing she says, 'I don't mind getting older; I mind getting uglier. You know – knees, disease, old age, death. I'm a wreck. Frankly, who else cares? No one else does. No one else in the world is out there saying, "It's a tragedy she's getting older."
So why bring yourself down?'
She leans forwards again, rubs her knees with her palms. 'Career may have been a dirty word, but I know I have a career and I thank my lucky stars, because it's that or what? Waiting tables? I can't believe it every day when I wake up and think, "It's still happening." The world around changes all the time – the industry, clearly everything is changing – but I just stay the same. I'm on my own little path and I'm still doing it.'

Writing for
Electronic Books
by Sandy Penny,
Fresh Eyes Proofing
I read and review many books on my Kindle, and I often use my read-aloud feature. Once you get used to the sound of electronic speak, it's great to have, and it saves these old eyes. There are some things I've noticed that make the experience less enjoyable though.
If you use page numbers in your file, the auto reader may read out the page numbers in the middle of sentences. Pages vary with the size of the device screen. Kindle files note character counts for finding things.
If you use certain large fonts for chapter headings, it can cause the reading to stop, and you have to manually restart the reading. That's annoying, especially if you read in bed. Just use standard fonts like Times or Ariel with larger headings, using document formatting so all headings will be the same size. If you don't use a standardized format, the file may not keep your settings for headings, and you'll have issues in the final file.
If you use cute art swirls or tiny pictures between chapters, that will also cause the reading to stop, and it gets really annoying to keep starting and stopping the Kindle reader.
If you type in all caps, it will sometimes read it letter by letter and not word for word. It's better to use bold or italics and larger so it reads correctly.
Be sure to follow the free directions provided by Amazon or other electronic options so the file will work properly on the device, especially if you use photos in the book.
Abbreviations: When you use St. for Saint or Street, it will read street, so it's better to spell out abbreviations for proper electronic reading. Unusual spellings for characters may not be read correctly as well.
If you use Amazon, be sure you save a copy of the .mobi file once it is formatted, in case you want to share the file with a reader/reviewer so they can use their device for the reading. PDFs and Docs are just not as easy to use. Even though Amazon does not encourage this practice, well-known readers/reviewers can still post reviews that are recognized on Amazon.
If a reader/reviewer shares that there are errors in the file, pay attention, go through the file, and correct them. Don't expect the reader to provide you with a list of the errors. Editors/proofreaders charge for that service, and you can't expect readers to do that work for free. If a reader does offer that list of errors, fix them and let the reader know you fixed them, and request they change their review, if that was a factor. Also, show your appreciation by offering a free book to the reader if you have additional titles. That will encourage them to share more with you and to review more of your books. It's a good way to develop a relationship with your readers who love your stories, and readers will often share their reviews on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or other social media sites, and possibly with their book club friends. It's just great marketing.
Whatever happens with reviewers, don't get discouraged. I often don't like violent books and give them a low rating, but my low rating lets readers who like violent books know this is something they may like. So, a low rating is not necessarily a bad thing for an author.
Write On - My Friends.

General Dispersive Discovery : The Laplace Transform Technique
It turns out that the generalized Dispersive Discovery model fits into a canonical mathematical form that makes it very accessible to all sorts of additional analysis. Much of the basis of this formulation came from a comment discussion started by Vitalis. I said in the comments that the canonical end result turns into the Laplace transform of the underling container volume density. The various densities include an exponential damping (e.e. more finds near the surface), a point value (corresponding to a seam at a finite depth), a uniform density abruptly ending at a fixed depth, and combinations of the above.
The following derivation goes through the steps in casting the dispersive discovery equations into a Laplace transform. The s variable in Laplace parlance takes the form of the reciprocal of the dispersed depth, 1/lambda. The basic idea again assumes that we search through the probability space of container densities, and accumulate discoveries proportional to the total size searched. The search depths themselves get dispersed so that values exceeding the cross-section of the container density random variable x with the largest of the search variables h get weighted as a potential find. In terms of the math, this shows up as a conditional probability in the 3rd equation, and due to the simplification of the inner integral, it turns into a Laplace transform as shown in the 4th equation.
The fun starts when we realize that the container function f(x) becomes the target of the Laplace transform. Hence, for any f(x) that we can dream up, we can short-circuit much of the additional heavy-duty math derivation by checking first to see if we can find an entry in any of the commonly available Laplace transform tables.
In the square bracketed terms shown after the derivation, I provide a few selected transforms giving a range of shapes for the cumulative discovery function, U-bar. Remember that we still need to substitute the lambda term with a realistic time dependent form. In the case of substituting an exponential growth term for an exponentially distributed container,
lambda ~ exp(kt), the first example turns directly into the legendary Logistic sigmoid function that we demonstrated previously.
The second example provides some needed intuition how this all works out. A point container describes something akin to a seam of oil found at a finite depth L0 below the surface. Note that it takes much longer for the dispersive search to probabilistically "reach" this quantity of oil as shown in the following figure. Only an infinitesimal fraction of the fast dispersive searches will reach this point initially as it takes a while for the bulk of the searches to approach the average depth of the seam. I find it fascinating how the math reveals the probability aspects so clearly while we need much hand-waving and subjective reasoning to convince a lay-person that this type of behavior could actually occur.
The 3rd example describes the original motivator for the Dispersive Discovery model, that of a rectangular or uniform density. I used the classical engineering unit-step impulse function u(x) to describe the rectangular density. As a a sanity check, the lookup in the Laplace transform table matches exactly what I derived previously in a non-generalized form, i.e. without the benefit of the transform.
Khebab also suggests that an oil window "sweet spot" likely exists in the real world, which would correspond to a container density function somewhere in between the "seam" container and the other two examples. I suggest two alternatives that would work (and would conveniently provide straightforward analytical Laplace transforms). The first would involve a more narrow uniform distribution that would look similar to the 3rd transform. The second would use a higher order exponential, such as a gamma density that would appear similar to the 1st transform example (see table entry 2d in the Wikipedia Laplace transform table):
Interestingly, this function, under an exponentially increasing search rate will look like a Logistic sigmoid cumulative raised to the nth power, where n is the order of the gamma density! I do wonder if any oil depletion analysts have ever empirically observed such a shape ? (hint, hint, this may require a TOD re-posting)

We consider Community Groups to be the hub of our ministry. They are the place where the real ministry of the church takes place
as we encourage, support, and challenge one another. God doesn't want any of us to be left to walk alone – we need each other.
We want to be a church, not a crowd!
A Community Group is made up of people who meet weekly to study, to share, and to support one another in their
Christian lives. Each group is led by a trained leader. A typical meeting lasts about an hour and a half, followed by light refreshments.
Groups run in three - 10 week sessions throughout the year (Summer off).
The studies are based on the previous weekend's sermon. Our Community Groups are built upon what we call a "Lecture-Lab"
model. If you imagine the weekend sermon as a lecture on Christian living, then the group meeting is a lab where you get to
roll up your sleeves and discuss how the sermon works out in real life. Each week there will be a series of Bible passages and
questions to study and complete before your meeting. The homework is included on the back of the sermon note sheet found
in your worship folder. It will usually take 20 to 30 minutes to complete the homework.
Group sign ups begin 4 Sundays before each 10-week session.
Register for a Group for the 2018 Fall Session before September 9th at WEC.life.

Flatbread with Caramelized Onions and Brie
I made this caramelized onion and brie flatbread as part of mother's day dinner (which was actually brunch food, because brunch food is the best). My mom made some comment about how she usually doesn't like caramelized onions, or maybe it was regular onions, but she really liked this. Who doesn't like caramelized onions?! Crazy. I think we all really enjoyed this flatbread though. It was my first time using frozen puff pastry (and in my last post I admitted to using store bought lemon curd - what's happening to me?!) I expected the puff pastry to be more crisp (as the recipe states it would be) but it was actually quite soft and floppy - which makes sense because croissants are basically puff pastry, right? Which I actually still have (homemade!) some of in my freezer from when I made croissants about a year ago, and I should probably throw out.

Anthem Blue Cross to pay hospitals $1.62 million to settle payment dispute
California's largest for-profit health insurer has agreed to pay a total of $1.62 million to seven hospitals to settle allegations that it failed to properly reimburse the providers for patient care.
Anthem Blue Cross of California underpaid hospitals for charges that exceeded contracted daily rates, the California Department of Managed Health Care said in its agreement with the insurer.
Anthem, a unit of health insurance giant WellPoint Inc. of Indianapolis, admitted no wrongdoing and said in a statement that it settled the matter to avoid litigation.
Regulators said the problem stemmed from Anthem's process for handling claims. The Woodland Hills-based insurer required hospitals to submit paperwork for daily rates to one mailing address, but claims for additional charges — known as stop-loss payments — went to another address, a violation of state law.
Claims sent to the wrong address were processed improperly, officials said. As a result, hospitals received less than they were owed.
The payment problems were compounded by Anthem imposing separate deadlines for hospitals to submit the two types of claims; it denied stop-loss payments that missed their deadlines, state officials said.
The issues identified by regulators occurred from at least 2004 to 2007, when the managed-care department began to investigate hospital complaints about Anthem, regulators said.
"There were rules in place regarding payment of claims. They were not following those rules, and were in instances inappropriately withholding stop-loss payments to hospitals," said Cindy Ehnes, director of the managed healthcare department.
Anthem insisted that it handled stop-loss payments under hospital contracts that specified filing deadlines.
In a statement Tuesday, the company said it was pleased to resolve "our disagreement with the Department of Managed Health Care" rather than fight in court over complaints that were "4 to 6 years old." A spokeswoman said the insurer changed its claims intake process in December 2005 and made additional improvements in 2008.
"We greatly value our relationship with the hospitals in our network and work hard to provide them with prompt and accurate payment in accordance with the terms of the applicable provider agreement," the company said.
The hospitals — six in Los Angeles and Orange counties and one in Northern California — will divvy up nearly $1.08 million, plus more than $543,000 in interest and penalties. The agreement did not name the providers because their complaints to regulators contained confidential patient information.

Friends Feed My Soul
Here in Tokyo the skies are dark. Too much concrete and steel weigh down my spirit. Everything seems outrageously expensive. So why am I so happy?
I am surrounded by love. Love from my family, love from my friends, even love from my former radio show listeners (the fans who I have gotten to know well.) It is a humbling experience.
After decades on air, I was sick of it all. I didn't need the stress, the endless hours of work, the exposure, the fan mail... Ugh. Get me out of here.
What an ingrate I was.
Most of the year I live in silence and isolation. I tell Big Dog, that's why I talk so loudly in my sleep. I have not found a new "tribe" to replace the one I had in Tokyo, but it was okay. I had all the great energy from nature to commune with. But now in Tokyo, reconnecting with all these people, I realize how much they mean to me, how so fortunate I am.
My wacky family and our amazing dinner conversations that can go from heated political debates to potty humor. MM who has inspired me to lighten my life in preparation for The Big Change that she/we believe is coming. Q with all her spiritual wisdom. MS who never ceases to push my creativity buttons. My oldest friend G, always making me laugh. Remember how you made me laugh even on the day of my father's wake?
I can't wait to meet up with the others.
I used to think the best part of homecoming was the fantastic food here. Now I know it's really my friends and family who so completely feed my soul.

Pear trees are grown both for decoration and for their delicious fruit. There are three varieties of pear trees grown in the United States, which include European (also called French) pear, Oriental pear and Asian pear. European pears are the widest know variety. Asian pears are called the apple-pear for their apple-shaped fruit.
Pear trees require a soil with good water drainage, according to Texas A&M University, but can tolerate heavier soils such as clay and heavy loam soils. Pears require planting in an area that has good sunlight. When planting, the hole should be slightly larger than the root ball spread, according to the British Columbia website. Peat moss and compost additions to the soil improve drainage around the roots and help the pear through the early establishment period.
Pear trees that have excessively vigorous growth are more susceptible to fire blight than trees allowed to grow normally. Too much fertilizer will encourage growth. When a pear tree is planted, a half cup of a balanced fertilizer such as 13-13-13 is all that is needed. Another 1/2 cup is required every spring as soon as new growth begins until the fourth year, when the amount is increased to 2 cups. Fertilizer application is halted if fire blight appears.
Pear trees require pruning to keep fruit production high. Late winter at the end of the dormancy period is the best time to prune pear trees to prevent stressing the plant, according to the Ohio State University Extension. Removal of dead or diseased branches is the first step of pruning, making cuts just above a healthy bud. Dense areas of branches and foliage require thinning to allow more light into the canopy of the tree. This increases air circulation and light inside the tree's interior. Fruit should be thinned later in the season so there is at least 8 inches of space between fruits.
Pears are best harvested while the fruit is still green as the fruit will continue to ripen after it is picked. Pears left on the tree until the skin turns yellow will begin to break down. Pears that are light green (not grass green) are ready for harvest. Pears require ripening at room temperature for a period of one to two weeks.
Insects and Disease
Pears are susceptible to a wide variety of insects, including pear-specific pests such as pear psylla, pear slug, codling moth and pear leaf blister mite. A combination of insecticide and pesticide sprayed together will prevent most insect infestation and fire blight. Chemical sprays containing streptomycin applied at five-day intervals once the pear tree exhibits first bloom will prevent most disease. The application of lime sulphur will prevent the development of powdery mildew disease on the tree. All-purpose insecticidal soap will kill many insects that affect pear trees. Bacillus thuringiensis can be used to kill off leaf-eating moths during the summer.

Those heading "downstream" on the C&O Canal towpath will notice a a small, but abrupt hill just after crossing the Conocheague Creek Aqueduct. At first glance, it's just one of many high spots along the trail, but this one actually has a very interesting story behind it.
It is the location of Williamsport's oldest cemetery: in fact, town founder General Otho Williams of Revolutionary War fame is buried there. Also, if the name Doubleday rings a bell, there is another interesting story regarding the hill that dates to the early stages of the Civil War.
Major General Abner Doubleday, who invented baseball in 1835, mounted three siege guns (facing the Potomac River) on the western corner of the hill in 1861 when he was a Captain in the Union Army. Some people believe that there are no such things as coincidences, but I beg to differ.
Today, many young people from around the world who carry on the love and tradition of baseball gather for the Little League World Series in Williamsport. The difference is that the series is played in Williamsport, Pennsylvania! I guess it really is a small world.
In all, Doubleday Hill covers a few acres of territory, but it's ridge line is a stone's throw from the C&O Canal. In fact, the side opposite of the Civil War shrine runs down to Canal Street. The hill is a perfect place to journey back in time to check out some really ornate headstones, and visitors can also imagine an era when canal boats churned through the water literally in the shadow of the cannons. This little piece of history doesn't have any direct relation to the C&O Canal NHP, so it is often overlooked by park enthusiasts. However, it's an interesting place, and I would highly recommend a side trip to the top of the hill.

Go-Betweens: Crossing Borders
An Interdisciplinary Conference at The University of Texas at Austin
Fri, October 12, 2012 | Student Activity Center
Go-Betweens: Crossing Borders
Download the brochure for more information.
A Welcome from the Program Director
As a field Comparative Literature might be wise to embrace a par- ticular preposition: between. While liminality and emergence have been associated with literary and cultural studies for some time now, to be in the space of the hyphen, in transit, between demarcated and convention- ally bounded territories is today an especially pressing daily actuality, ethical responsibility, and scholarly subject/object of inquiry. The pejo- rative hyphen, with its implication that each side is incomplete and that the total is not pure, invites redemption. This year's conference will consider literal and figurative instantiations of such interstitial move- ments and hinges. Whether in the form of an actual journey undertaken and represented, or of an imagined voyage, those who "go between" interrogate the very concepts of here/there, self/other, real/imaginary, original/translation, familiar/ unfamiliar. There is danger in all jour- neys, as well as potential. The space of this conference is, in this sense, uncanny. Freud's "Heim" insists upon the betweenness of homeliness, upon what is "unheimlich" or unhomely, within the homely. Similarly, our work as participants creates a network of crossing paths that make unexpectedly connected textual and cultural places feel like home and defamiliarize the quotidian. From comfortable seats in this Texan uni- versity, we invite you like Baudelaire's Parisian interlocutor to "Songe à la douceur/D'aller là-bas," to think about how sweet it is travel from your arm chair to a faraway place, anticipating that the destination will (in some way) be strangely familiar: "Au pays qui te ressemble."

Keeping Science in Society topical - some ideas
Students enjoy relating their classes to media issues. Even if the issue is not on the specification it can be justified by the aims of the course.
What's in the newspapers?
At the start of a class every two to three weeks ask students what science issues they have picked up in the media. Some students will have lots to say and this can lead to a class discussion. There will often be some confusion to explain too.
If you find that a few students are dominating this activity then three or four can be picked each week and told to find something for the next lesson. It should be fairly relaxed because some students will have access to far more information than others.
Press cuttings
Once every few weeks students can be told to find and bring in press cuttings as their homework. Choose some students to present the issue in the story to the class, very briefly, as one would in a conversation. Pin up the cuttings on the notice board in the classroom afterwards. You will need to provide some of your own too. Change them at regular intervals. Old newspaper cuttings look dreadful.
Letters to the Newspaper
If, whilst you are teaching a topic, you find a relevant article in a paper give the students copies of the article. Show them the letters page of the relevant paper. Get them all to write a letter with their views, best done there and then in class. Many will never have realised that they can do this, or that it is a recognised part of the democratic debate. Get them to e-mail them themselves or pick a few of the best and send them yourself. You might be lucky and, even if not, they have practiced explaining their point of view.
Talk about science
When a major science issue appears in the media ask the class how many of them have talked about it to friends or family, not just in class. This could be reinforced by taking a straw poll on their assessment of public opinion on the issue.
Public consultations
Over the last few years there have been public consultations on a range of issues run by organisations such as the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority. Recent ones have been on sex selection, on gene testing and on the use of animals in research. They can often be answered on-line. Doing this with the class provokes discussion and encourages them to contribute as citizens to a national debate. They are not always well publicised but are referred to in the press and in Bionews.

1.3 Media watch on transport

This is a first article in a series we are starting on reviews of hotels we have stayed in.
Last week we have spent 2 nights in the 5 star hotel mentioned in the title.
Details can be found at http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/longh-grosvenor-house-a-jw-marriott-hotel/
First thing to mention: no, we did not won the lottery (yet :). It was job related and the company paid for it approximately GBP 200/night (taxes included).
Things to mention:
- the room is not fantastic: it is slightly bigger than a regular 2-3 star hotel. The furniture seemed rather old
- however, the bed was the best we have ever slept in
- housemaids did not replace the towels and did not bring additional soap and shower gel
- breakfast is extremely expensive: GBP 27/person. It does not worth the money. It is more or less the same as what we have eaten at a 3 star hotel like Best Western. The accent was put on traditional English breakfast, including beans, bacon, mushrooms and grilled tomatoes
- it takes 2 minutes to start watching TV: when you first turn on the TV, there is a menu with 7 choices, where they try to trick you in buying various services like pay-per-view movies, etc. Worse, when you finally find the regular TV channels, there is only a limited choice
- internet is not for free and costs a fortune
- on the good side, you can use a bathrobe and disposable slippers
- it's cold in the room, as they only have centralised air conditioning system, which does not manage to heat properly the room. Furthermore, you can not sleep with the air conditioning turned on, as it makes a loud noise and dries the air in the room
To conclude: do not stay there, unless somebody else pays for it ...

Each week in Bookends, two writers take on questions about the world of books. Chang-rae Lee has said that rereading D. H. Lawrence feels "artistically inspiring," but also "cringe-inducing." This week, Adam Kirsch and Zoë Heller discuss the books from their past that they now read with ambivalence.
By Adam Kirsch
"The Waste Land," with its showy references and sexual dread, seems like a kind of young person's performance.
If someone told you that her political beliefs, or her taste in music, or her personal relationships were the same at age 40 as they had been at age 16, you would be less likely to praise her consistency than to question her development. If life is a process of growth, then it is also a process of outgrowth — which does not mean that we should be contemptuous of the things we once loved, any more than we should despise our first friends or first ideals.
When I excavate the strata of my own literary life, one of the earliest and most important bears the name of T. S. Eliot. I had been exposed to poetry as a child, but it was not until I read "The Waste Land" as a teenager that I began to think I might want to be a poet myself. This was not because "The Waste Land" provided a ready model for imitation. On the contrary, it's because I barely understood it that I was so eager to take it apart and figure out how it worked.
Here was a poem that, taken line by line, seemed to make no sense at all. Who was speaking these cryptic phrases? Who was the Marie who stayed at her cousin the archduke's, and how was she related to the speaker who flowed with the crowds over London Bridge, and to Phlebas the Phoenician? What did "Bin gar keine Russin" mean? But what most attracted me were not the foreign languages and literary references tagged in Eliot's notes. It was passages like the song of the Thames-daughters, which seemed to reduce the semantic content of poetry to almost nothing, while still making the purest kind of rhythmic and lyric sense: "The river sweats / Oil and tar / The barges drift / With the turning tide / Red sails / Wide / To leeward, swing on the heavy spar."
Later, in college, a new dimension of Eliot opened up to me: the critic and intellectual, whose work I first encountered in the paperback "Selected Prose," edited by Frank Kermode. Now it became clear to me that Eliot's poetry, even the most obscure, was bound up with a whole complex of ideas about literature and society, religion and politics. The intellectual drama of Eliot's pessimism, his adherence to a creed of classicism, royalism and Anglo-Catholicism, was my first taste of how abstract thought, no less than abstract lyricism, could express the deepest human experiences.
I owed so much to Eliot in discovering the life of the mind that it took me some time to realize how very different my life and my mind were from his. Oddly, as it now seems to me, the fact that I was a Jew and Eliot an unmistakable anti-Semite had little to do with this estrangement: I must have psychically discounted his hostility from the start. More important was the realization that if I was going to write poetry, it couldn't be anything like Eliot's. Intellectually, as well as poetically, Eliot's world came to strike me as too hermetic, too self-invented and too limiting in its rejections. I began to learn that authority could flow from kinds of gestures other than self-abnegation.
Today, it seems to me that I loved Eliot so much as an adolescent because he is, in some ways, an essentially adolescent writer — a grumbler, a protester against the world, a displayer of his wounds. "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" must be the most perfect expression of adolescent anguish ever written, and even "The Waste Land," with its showy references and sexual dread, seems like a kind of young person's performance. This is not to say that it is not as great a poem as ever, just that there may be different kinds of greatness, suited to different phases of our growth. I read Eliot less often these days, but I wouldn't trade the experience of having read him for anything.
Adam Kirsch is a senior editor at The New Republic and a columnist for Tablet. He is the author of two collections of poetry and several other books, including, most recently, "Why Trilling Matters." In 2010, he won the Roger Shattuck Prize for Criticism.

By Zoë Heller
I'm more skeptical of attempts to transmute Sylvia Plath's highly individual wretchedness into a feminist fable.
If you're the sort of person who has always marked up your books — written comments in the margins and underlined passages that you particularly like — you will end up, in middle age, owning a lot of books inscribed with the remarks and reactions of a much younger you. Occasionally, these scrawled annotations suggest some reassuring continuity between your former and current selves. ("Eugene Wrayburn v sexy," I noted, age 18, on Page 116 of "Our Mutual Friend," and 30 years on, I do not disagree.) More often, however, you gaze upon the evidence of past enthusiasms in mystified dismay.
When I flick through my old copies of J. D. Salinger's stories, for example, I see that all the passages my teenage self has identified as especially moving and wonderful are precisely those that now make me frown and recoil. Where once, the angst and alienation of Salinger's heroes — their hypersensitivity to "phoniness" — filled me with awe and some sheepishness about my own capacity for compromise, I am now inclined to feel that phoniness, as much as any other human weakness, deserves a bit of sympathy. I can still enjoy "The Catcher in the Rye" if I read it with a sort of squint, maintaining the illusion of some separation between Holden's disaffected worldview and Salinger's. But by the time I get to the Glass stories, wherein the preternaturally brilliant and morally fine Glass children struggle to bear a world filled with second-rate English professors and inadequately nuanced productions of Chekhov, I have to give up. Janet Malcolm has defended these stories as "fables of otherness — versions of Kafka's 'Metamorphosis.' " Readers who resist the charms of the Glass children, she argues, are merely enacting the common world's antipathy to the uncommon. I disagree. I don't mind the fact that the Glass children are exceptional. I mind being asked to admire and envy their lack of empathy for anyone less gifted, less pure than themselves. I mind that the few things exempt from their shuddering misanthropy — Russian mystics, the unspoiled bodies and minds of kooky prepubescent girls — are depicted with such gruesome mawkishness.
Sylvia Plath's "Ariel" is another book that elicits a very different response from me now than it did in my youth. (Although I partly suspect that my ambivalence toward these poems was always there and that it was just my craven submission to peer pressure that prevented me from acknowledging it.) By the time I was encountering her work for the first time, Plath had already been canonized as a feminist saint and the Plath cult was in full flower. To "love" her work was a way of aligning oneself with the spurious glamour of her suffering. It lent a patina of high seriousness to one's own garden-variety teenage depression. These days, I'm more skeptical of attempts to transmute Plath's highly individual wretchedness into a feminist fable. And while it's impossible not to admire the technical virtuosity of the poems, I'm frankly amazed that I ever affected to "relate to" or be consoled by their cruelty, their masochism, their terrifying "ice-eye."
Not all rereading is destined to result in disillusionment, of course. Your appreciation for some books may actually grow with age. As a young person, I had little or no time for D. H. Lawrence. His prose seemed rant-y, self-serious and at the same time, a bit slapdash. I found all the stuff about wombs and loins and essential flames embarrassing and slightly dull. Yet last year, when I reread "Lady Chatterley's Lover" for the first time in a couple of decades, I was surprised to find its sex scenes a lot better, braver and more interesting than I remembered. There were still passages that made me wince. (If I live to be 100, I'm never going to be a fan of the flowers-in-the-pubic-hair episode.) But Lawrence's attempts at describing the transcendent possibilities of "warmhearted" sex no longer seemed quite so ludicrous. Next to the "yuk" I had scribbled as a 20-year-old, there now stands a new note: "Not so bad after all."
Zoë Heller is the author of three novels: "Everything You Know"; "Notes on a Scandal," which was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and adapted for film; and "The Believers." She has written feature articles and criticism for a wide range of publications, including The New Yorker, The New Republic and The New York Review of Books.
