A Kiss of Shadows by Laurell K Hamilton
A Kiss of Shadows is the first of currently eight novels that make up Laurell K Hamilton's Merry Gentry series, and introduces us to faerie princess turned private investigator Meredith NicEssus, who fled the Unseelie Court to hide as a human, calling herself Merry.
Set in modern day Los Angeles, the faerie and humans live together, but the faerie have their courts, with Merry being a sidhe royal. However, being half human means she has little magic to defend herself from the ever-increasing attacks of her cousin and heir to the throne Cel, prompting her to escape the court and join a detective agency in Los Angeles made up of faerie and human magic practitioners.
The story begins with Merry taking on a case to investigate a powerful spell caster who is draining life energy from women with magical skill. It turns out to be far more sinister than expected, with an unknown member of the faerie illegally gathering human worshipers. As a result of this, Merry is unmasked as the missing Elven princess, and her aunt, the Queen of Air and Darkness, orders her to return back to the Unseelie Court.
With the ever-present threat of death from enemies at court, her cousin, and her violent, sadistic aunt who only sees Merry as a brood mare to keep her bloodline on the throne, Merry has to negotiate the court's politics, stay alive, and find out who the mysterious faerie is who broke the laws between humans and faerie in order to gain more power.
This is a sumptuous book, of blood, sex and magic, which takes you on a journey from the human world of Los Angeles to the glittering, deadly world of the faerie courts where goblins, gods, brownies and the sidhe mix with a host of other magical ancient races. Merry, whose only magic is a strong skill at concealment and illusion, has little in defence except her political savvy and a gun, but she is coming into her powers, though this may put her in even more danger than before.
Every scene in the book is painted for you in sultry colours, the clothes people are wearing, the shining of the faeries' skin, the pulse of power in the sidhe. The prose is as thick as syrup, with characters having many emotion-filled pauses or looks, or brushes of fingers down another's arm whilst magic's flare and Merry muses on how much she loves touching another sidhe's body. Unfortunately, this eventually starts drowning the story, as we are given back story of the sidhe and Merry's family, introduced to many different characters - a lot of which are tall, long haired, very hot sidhe bodyguards who are all struggling to get given their own piece of personality – and the awakening of Merry's new magic's and the influence this has on various magical items of the court whose power was waning, all on top of the investigation that she was involved with in the beginning.
This investigation of who was giving a human enough power to entrap women and supply him with forbidden faerie items is unfortunately elbowed to one side by everything else, it's like having too much honey in a dressing and needing a good squeeze of lemon to give it some kick. Three quarters of the way through Merry can barely move from one room to the next without having several sexually-charged encounters with sidhe lords who have bottom-length hair either bright green or blue or white as cobwebs with cobblestone stomach muscles and raging needs, bleeding all over or for things, and being dragged about whilst she muses about how strapping a revolver to her ankle will catch on the hose she's wearing. By that point she's either tried to have sex or has managed to have sex with nearly every man she's come across, and her sex life is now the main focus of the book as her aunt demands that she sleep with as many of the bodyguards as she can to produce a heir to the throne.
It's frustrating and slow, and needs to stop wallowing around in how fantastically good looking everybody is and what the exact colours of their silken shirts that mould to their bodies are. A hundred pages can pass with barely a mention of the original plot and with seven more books to come you can tell Hamilton has only just gotten started. Eventually you find out what was going on back in Los Angeles but as they say, you can have too much of a good thing, and a bit of titillating sex just gets laid on too thick, and one evening can last for pages, and pages, and pages.
In conclusion, it's a good piece of escapism and is lavishly woven, but this supposedly modern day princess is far better at being coy with her men than she is at investigating.

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Stocks in London ended lower on Tuesday, though the losses were limited by gains in the tobacco sector sparked by an Imperial Tobacco court win.
London's benchmark FTSE 100 Index (UKX) finished down 0.5% at 4,964. European stocks also finished lower, while the euro weakened to an eight-month low on French political moves. See Europe Markets.
Imperial Tobacco (IMT) ITY led tobacco companies higher, finishing up 2.6% after a Scottish court dismissed a suit brought against the company by a woman whose husband died of lung cancer.
"We have never lost or settled any tobacco litigation and will continue to defend ourselves against any further speculative claims," Imperial Tobacco said in a statement.
Gallaher Group PLC GLH, +0.00% (GLH), another tobacco company, added 2%.
Merger talk in the pharmaceutical and support-services sectors also grabbed investor attention.
However, the market appeared to discount a report in French newspaper Les Echos that GlaxoSmithKline PLC GSK, +0.66% (GSK) is in talks to acquire AstraZeneca PLC AZN, -0.15% (AZN).
Shares of AstraZeneca fell 0.4%, while GlaxoSmithKline lost 0.3%.
"We certainly wouldn't discount it in the fullness of time as it's an incredibly fragmented sector," said Jeremy Batstone at Charles Stanley stockbrokers. "However, I think that things would have to get worse at Astra before the company would be prepared to countenance falling into Glaxo's arms. I don't think it's going to happen any time soon.
"On valuation grounds the sector still looks quite good value, we would be using weakness to pick up favored stocks, in our case that's Glaxo," Batstone added.
Bear Stearns upgraded AstraZeneca to outperform from market perform, citing increased chances of the company's anti-stroke drug Cerovive of reaching the market.
The European Court of Justice said it had no jurisdiction to judge GlaxoSmithKline's request to impose quotas on patented medicines it supplies to third-party distributors in Europe, Dow Jones reported from Brussels.
In the support-services sector, PHS Group PLC (PHY) shares gained 2.1% as the Sunday Times (of London) reported that the company may receive a takeover bid from Rentokil Initial PLC (RTO), its larger rival. Rentokil shares lost 4.1%.
"We would find larger deals surprising, considering all divisions within the portfolio are deteriorating, and while interest cover of 6.5 times is hardly stretched it does not appear to signal major acquisition potential," said analysts at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein.
Oil stocks Shell Transport & Trading PLC (SHEL) SC, +0.96% and BP PLC BP, +0.11% (BP) closed lower as July-dated crude oil contracts headed south. See Futures Movers.
Some retailers also drifted after the U.K. consumer confidence headline index fell to -1 in May from 0 in April and +1 in March, driven by a drop in the major purchases index, according to a survey conducted by GfK Martin Hamblin.
Merrill Lynch cut U.K. water utility Severn Trent PLC (SVT) to neutral from buy, saying the shares have surpassed its price target.
The broker told clients that Severn Trent remains its favorite pick in the sector and said the next earnings results may be accompanied by strategic initiatives such as plans to dispose of assets.
Severn Trent shares dropped 1.1%.
Shares of Anglo-Dutch food giant Unilever PLC UN, -0.25% UL, -0.13% (ULVR) closed down 2.4% after a UBS downgrade to reduce from neutral on the grounds of valuation. UBS noted the 10% climb in Unilever shares over the last four weeks, in part because of investor sentiment and also on rotation into defensive sectors.
Merrill Lynch also upgraded Bermuda-based insurer Alea PLC (ALEA) to neutral from sell saying that valuation now better reflects the challenges facing the company. The broker told clients the stock now trades at an appropriate discount to peers.
Alea shares added 1%.
In corporate news, Irish low-cost airline Ryanair Holdings RYAAY, -0.20% (RYA) was a standout, adding 2.9% after it said that fiscal-year profit excluding goodwill charges and non-recurring items rose 19% to 268.9 million euros, with revenue up 24% to 1.34 billion euros and passenger traffic up 19%.
In the smaller indexes, engineering group Jarvis (JRVS) gained 6.5% after it agreed a 297 million pound debt-for-equity plan that will leave existing shareholders with 4.75% of the company.
And shares in British-headquartered pharmaceutical Skyepharma PLC (SKP) SKYE, -0.57% fell 1.4% following a deal to place 20 million pounds of 8% convertible bonds due 2025 in a private placement. The proceeds of the fundraising will be used for corporate expenses and will satisfy the company's projected cash use in the foreseeable future, it said.

Ten Unique Date Ideas
Do you want to show her she's really special? Find a date as original as she is using our unique date ideas. Remember though, the best dates are the ones that reflect your knowledge of her, which may mean that she isn't as ready as you are for some of the wilder date ideas below.
Magic Show
Movies are boring, and you're not really theater people? Try a magic show. Let the mysteries of the unknown wash over you as you sip a cocktail together and enjoy real entertainment.
Laser Tag
Does your girl have a competitive edge? Arm yourself with laser guns and enter a full-out war in a special laser tag arena. It is always best to try and be on the same side as to avoid a full-blown confrontation in the first thirty minutes of your date, but if she's actually up for laser tag, anything goes.
Scuba Diving
If you're both certified, why not scuba? Even if you're not certified, snorkeling isn't a bad choice either. Experience the wonders of the ocean floor together thirty, or three, feet under. You should always dive with a buddy, so why not make it an attractive buddy?
Deep Sea Fishing
Bobbing in the waves with endless ocean stretching out in all directions can be the perfect backdrop for a little romantic adventure - fish! Enjoy the adrenaline rush as she lands her first keeper, and you might even get to assist her as she reels it in.
If the wind and freedom speak to the both of you, why not answer the call and fly away together? Hang-gliding can be both exhilarating and peaceful at the same time, and would be wonderful to experience with the person you love, or at least like a lot.
Want to race? Hop in a go-kart and see who the superior driver is once and for all! A little healthy competition can be good for a relationship, especially if there is laughter involved, too.
Hot Air Balloon
The most majestic views ever offered are available only from a dangling basket hundreds of feet in the sky. Take a hot air balloon ride and be dazzled by the vastness of the landscape as well as her expression of wonder.
Nature is calling, and who better to answer than you? Suit up and take a leisurely, or intense, hike through national parks or nature preserves in your area. Feast on granola bars and feel the warmth of the sunshine as the two of you march to your own beat.
Mountain Biking
For a bit more of a workout and rush, try mountain biking. Rent or take your own bikes to a suitable trail, bring along some water and maybe a band-aid and you're off on a magical, jarring ride for two.
Volunteer Work
Helping others is one of the most rewarding experiences available. Why not work together in a food pantry or soup kitchen? There are always charitable organizations in need of help and working for the greater good will break down any defenses and allow the two of you greater intimacy.

The worldwide attraction with Texas Holdem poker remains to expand. The success of young poker players at the World Series of Poker has actually captured the interest of youngsters around the globe. Jonathan Duhamel, a part-time pupil and professional poker games, became the 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion at the age of 22 years winning virtually 9 million. Add to this the fact that the top 8 gamers, all of whom were still in their twenties, each won at the very least a million dollars and also you can see why the allure of Texas Holdem poker has actually obtained a massive burst of rate of interest. Duhamel adheres to in the footsteps of other terrific young champions, Daniel Neagreanu, Phip Hellmuth, Chris Moneymaker and Peter Eastgate who have actually risen to super star condition by flourishing at the World Series of Poker.
They are currently abundant and also renowned poker celebrities who have motivated multitudes of aspiring poker champions to explore the marvelous world of Texas Holdem poker. While there are a couple of poker gamers who have acquired instant riches and also popularity, the roadway to a World Series of Poker, World Poker Tour or a European Poker Tour Championship is a long and also possibly expensive, discovering procedure. For the poker neophyte, a standard poker skill growth strategy has to become part of their discovering strategy. The discovering process begins by acquiring a solid understanding of the fundamentals of poker online. These basics will include understanding of the position of poker hands, recognizing the ideas of betting, inspecting, raising, re-raising, bluffing and also folding. The capacity to compute mathematical chances and also probabilities is a fantastic ability to possess.
But for many players who are not so honored, a fundamental understanding of hand toughness is required. Recognizing which hands are solid and also which hands are weak and the chances of making a hand with the cards that are dealt is a crucial ability. Without this minimal fundamental poker understanding and ability, poker success at any level will certainly be hard to complete. Unfortunately, today there is a thrill to obtain it done, simply does it! Patience is not a virtue, it is primarily non-existent. The greatest error that a starting player can make is to scamper to a casino site, a poker space or an on the internet poker space such as Poker Stars, Poker Party or Full Tilt poker and begin betting real cash. This can be a very pricey blunder. The poker knowing and development process should start by playing poker in your home in a low-risk environment with friends and family. At first, risks need to be limited to betting bragging rights or for extremely reduced risks.

Filed under Daily Blog
I'm not in the mood to write this morning. This has just been a really bad week: lack of sleep, a large and difficult workload, stress at work and zero exercise.
All of those factors, combined with a couple of other things, has me feeling like I'm about to explode this morning.
Rather than sit here and whine about my problems, I'm going to do something that always makes me feel better when I'm stressed: go mountain biking.
When I get back home I'm not doing a shred of work for the rest of the day. This is the literal definition of a "sanity day".

One of the advantages of having Sky Plus is that I can record telly programmes and watch them when I want, and can fast-forward through the adverts. So an hour's program will only take forty minutes of my time. I watched the first episode of the new season of "V" this morning (minus adverts). It follows on from the last season, most of which I've forgotten, which was a nuisance.
But the show was quite watchable, with only one problem. One thing I hate in TV is when they make up the science in an attempt to inject some realism into the program. A character in the show had a certain blood test done during a medical crisis. Without going into details, what she had done was akin to having a car's tyre pressures checked when the engine is on fire. Utterly irrelevant, and simply does not and would not happen. For me it made a nonsense of what was otherwise a very good show.
After a dull day at work I followed the outer space theme. I drove five of us to be part of the astro club's contingent at
. Kent-born British astronaut Piers Sellers was giving a talk at his old alma mater, and we'd secured tickets for the evening. I would have found a lecture on the life and work of an astronaut fascinating, but to have the talk given by an astronaut who's been to the International Space Station three times was a once in a lifetime treat. And Piers was a very down-to-earth guy, openly admitting he was the world's oldest active astronaut. His talk was really interesting, with snippets of first hand experience. For example the food on the ISS is very variable. The Cranbrook School astronauts' food isn't very good compared to what the ESA sends up. But NASA has Starbucks coffee, and so there's apparently quite a bit of bartering of food and coffee in orbit. US
And there was a very lively question and answer session too, touching on such diverse subjects as the mechanics of having a poo in zero-G, eating M&Ms in orbit, and possible future missions to Mars.
After the talk the audience were invited to the school's telescope, which is shared with the local astronomical society C.A.D.S.A.S. On realising we were members of the Ashford astro club, the C.A.D.S.A.S. people shook our hands, and were so friendly and welcoming, and renewed our standing invitation to observe with them whenever we like.
All things considered we had a wonderful night out. I'd certainly go again if ever the chance arose…

When it Doesn't Feel...
There are times when everything seems so real, so tangible. It is so easy to believe, because it feels real.
I can't only believe when it feels real and it is easy, though. I have to have faith that God is bigger and not limited to only being real when I feel like He is.
Jesus, I do believe, help my unbelief. When God isn't loving me in the way I want to be loved, but rather in the way I need to be loved, I have to trust Him. I hear of Him doing all of these radical and profound things for other people, which is wonderful. Honestly though, sometimes I feel forgotten. Why don't you do those things for me God? The truth is He is always doing things for me. Usually they are smaller things that don't appear as profound, but I have to choose to see them and be grateful. I have to have faith that there is a reason for this. I believe I'm not forgotten. I believe I am noticed and loved, but help my unbelief God.
You are not confined by the skewed reality I create. You are the creator of reality. Father, increase my trust in You.
It is hardest to believe when you don't feel tangible God, but it is then that it is most crucial for us to believe. It is then that there is immense opportunity for growth and trust.
Lord, I do believe. Help my unbelief. ~ Mark 9:24

Authorities have confirmed that ten Indonesian captives have been freed by the Abu Sayyaf on Sunday after they were paid the ransom of 50 million pesos.
No details were given on the release of the hostages. Authorities said they were informed that a group of people dropped the Indonesians off in front of the house of Abdusakur Toto Tan II, Sulu's governor.
In a phone interview with the Inquirer, officials said: "They were brought inside, they were fed. Governor Tan called me and they turned over the 10 to our custody. We are preparing now to bring the 10 to Zamboanga and turn them to their consular official,"
The ten captives were part of a tugboat crew taken by Abu Sayyaf on March 28 as they made their way from Indonesia to Manila.
After officials paid the 50-million peso ransom, a source let the military know that the men would be freed sometime between Friday and Saturday. However officials were worried when the clock was ticking and no hostages appeared. The same source said the hostages would be freed somewhere near the town of Luuk in Jolo.
Indonesian officials have asked the Philippine government for help patrolling the waters in and around the Sulu archipelago.
A recent rash of kidnappings has taken place in the region of Sulu, prompting officials from both the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia to effectively patrol the area and keep kidnappings from constantly happening.
Officials have said they would not keep paying the ransom to deter groups from taking hostages for ransom. Only this week President Aquino told military officials to go after Abu Sayyaf, taking them out if needed, and capturing those responsible for the beheading of Canadian John Risdel who was taken from Samal Island, just outside Davao City.

Alex Anderson's 4-in-1 Essential Sewing Tool
(2 reviews)
How do you like this product?

July 26, 2019
This is one of my favorite tools. It is kept right by my sewing machine. I use the pointed end to push out the corners and seams when making bags. I have used the seam ripper end as well. The stilletto and the seam presser ends are great to have so handy as well. I highly recommend this tool.
April 17, 2019
I use this tool all of the time and not just for quilting. I also do alterations and once I cut a thread, I use the stiletto end to pull out the thread. It is my favorite tool. I have two of them and use one for the bag that goes to class with me and the other for the sewing machine that stays home. It is so worth having. I would like to replace the one I broke using for something else besides sewing.

Creating Waves of Awareness
Views: 1058
Sensations are subjective symptoms and it is necessary to know the causation. I remember a case of a patient who's sensation was of a plug and clinical examination revealed cancer. Whenever possible we should investigate to find the correct remedy.In this case Anacardium cannot be of any help.
No where Hahnemann said that we should rely entirely on subjective symptoms and should not investigate thoroughly.Being a doctor it is our duty to know all about the disease the patient is suffering from.
Dear Members
this pointers are more like key notes. There usefulness is to look into those remedies in a given situation and to compare the rest of the symptoms. sometimes the remedy is really what we are looking for, more often so not in my experience.
It is better to do a proper repertorisation and to consider a few remedies for comparison.

Obituary of N. William Atwater
N. William Atwater, age 84 of Tewksbury Township/Chatham, Mass, passed away peacefully at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania on January 12, 2019 surrounded by family.
Born in McKeesport, Pennsylvania to Neil and Mildred (Schmidt) Atwater, Bill received his Bachelor and Master of Science degrees from Stevens Institute of Technology. Upon graduating, Bill began a 43-year career with Foster Wheeler Corporation, a global engineering and construction firm. At retirement, he was Executive Vice President of the Engineering and Construction Group and President and CEO of Foster Wheeler International, responsible for the company's business with the petroleum, chemical, power, pharmaceutical and environmental industries.
In retirement Bill was an active member of the Hunterdon Healthcare Board, serving for more than two decades, including five years as board chair. In November, in recognition of his exceptional leadership and contribution to the hospital, he received the "Spirit of Hunterdon" Award. Eager to share his wisdom and experience, Bill also served on boards at Stevens, Raritan Valley Community College and the Feliciano School of Business at Montclair State University.
Bill was a lifelong tennis player and a founding member of the Tewksbury Tennis Association.

His whistling, limoncello, "legendary" compote and basement furniture projects will be sorely missed.
Bill is survived by his wife of 60 years, Susan, his sisters, Mimi Iacone (Jim) and Christine Dermody, his children Meg Guldner (Bob), Peter (Janet), and John (Jennifer), as well as nieces and nephews. To his grandchildren, Brennan, Owen and Sutton Guldner, Molly, Bennett, Brian, Katie and Hannah Atwater, he will forever be GramBill.

Only External Monitor, not Notebook Display, visible
I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 on my notebook, Acer Aspire 7715Z from USB key.
On boot up, system recognises Ubuntu and loads up installation screen. A few pages of white text roll down the screen and then the screen goes blank. I attached a 2nd screen and everything is visible. I choose to run programme from USB key and this goes ahead ok and OS is visible on 2nd Screen while notebook is blank.
I went into display settings and tried to make display visible on Notebook but nothing makes a difference. I switched off 2nd monitor and Mirror options and set display to maximum. When I hit Apply, 2nd monitor disappears and very faint shadow appears on notebook screen. I cannot brighten this from notebook keypad although volume control FN option buttons work ok.
I think I used to have Ubuntu on the same notebook years ago but not sure what version. MS win 8.1 now unusable.
I experimented with all options on settings menu but no change and don't have an idea of what to do now.
I want display only to appear on notebook, not second display.

THEREDBALLOON 1420 MARKET RASEN (nb) –(3rd 5-1 = 4.5 points) needs really good ground and hopefully will get it, has some very good form in places and should be thereabouts (2 points each way)
STORM HAWK 1630 – SOUTHWELL (treble) – (won 5-1 = 12 points)another horse for course! Three from four at Southwell and in a competitive race has claims again (2 points win)

Now I am a puny figure to to say this as there is pun intended here (earnestly requesting people here to take it not very seriously). So I will bring in other giants whom I love. Oscar Wilde, Henry James and Virginia Woolf complained of a lack of psychological depth, loose writing, and a vein of saccharine sentimentalism.
I started reading Great Expectations and my expectations were betrayed. :-D I could no go past 50 pages. So... what is wrong with Charles Dickens? Will people better acquainted with Charles Dickens shed some light here? Well developed fierce responses are most welcomed. Please avoid venting frustration here, that is not going to make any point here.

I saw @pr256 post some day ago related to all designs being inaccessible. What happened to that? Why is post deleted? How was the issue resolved?
pr256 jeff_gallego
Hi there,
It might be a temporary issue with the submission of the topic. We will note it from the submission logs.
Regarding the design issues that occurred a couple of days back, it was resolved on the same day. All the designs and their thumbnails are back to working in your design workspace.
Are you still facing issues in accessing your designs and to edit them from your workspace? If so, then we will be happy to help. We would need some details as to your DB account e-mail id and also some of the design links that you feel are showing issues.
(You can share your account details via the Chat Support, as the community is a public forum)
We will immediately review your account for any possible issues.
Pointer: Before trying again, it is advisable to clear the cache from your browser and system. Sometimes cache keeps showing the older pages. Also, try in the incognito mode of the browser, to deactivate any plugin that might interfere with the loading of scripts.
We will be looking forward to your message at the Chat support at DB website.
Yes that would indeed be very interesting because it was my post. Still can't access some designs, some however are back.
Dear Don,
Thank you for your answer.
Unfortunately one very important design is still inaccessible.
I tried to contact support via the chat but nothing happens when I click on the chat button.
Can you give me an email address under which I can contact you to convey you my Account details please?
thank you very much
Sorry for the inconvenience you faced regarding your designs status. Can you try again to contact us at the chat? The chat support system is working fine and we are supporting the users in real time. (there might be time zone variations to be considered)
Hence, if possible try the chat support again or you can mail us (email@example.com) with your design link (explaining the issue). When you say the design is not accessible, are you not able to find it in your DB workspace or you are not able to edit it?
Is there a chance that the design might have been deleted and moved to trash? (Please note that for free accounts, a deleted image remains in the trash for a duration of 7 days from the day of deletion. After 7 days it is auto-deleted from the system)
Keep us updated either here, chat or the mail id. We will do our best to help you with your issue.
@tiffanygastonbh did you ever get a reply to your post? i was googling for help with a problem with my account because i didn't get a reply on chat (i wanted to change my email address with my account), and saw something about no chat support during US hours. i can't find that post on this site, though (even though there's a google result for it).
We had recently undertaken some modifications to our system and the plans. So, there might be some inconsistencies in the appearances of the community topics. Hence, you might notice some missing topics.
(Some time few topics/comments are deleted that do not follow the community guidelines or keep it civil. It is necessary to maintain the decorum of the community and we are very strict regarding that. Any leniency or overlooking uncivil posts can lead to more repetition of such cases, disturbing the overall functioning and purpose of the forum)
Majority of the support queries are resolved in the support chat. Regarding the working hours, we do try to provide round the clock support to both free and pro users. However, due to time zone difference, there is sometimes some delay. However, most of the queries are replied to and resolved within a span of 24 hours.
The user you referred to, the issue has been resolved over the weekend by interaction with the user.
Coming back to your issue of changing the email, as I see the chat logs, I find that one of our agents "Mina" had replied to your query within a span of 5 hours.
If you are still not able to change the email then check the instructions below
Click on the profile icon on the right top corner -----> In the drop down click "Account" ------> It will open in a page to let you change the email.
Log in to DesignBold and visit this link https://www.designbold.com/account/setting/personal-information
I hope that resolves the issue for you.
In case of any further doubts feel free to contact us.

There is a long tradition of research into sustainability at Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt. The university's many contributions to the field are connected to its flagship 'Sustainability' research cluster.
Global climate change and energy and natural resource shortages are two of the "Grand Challenges" facing the European Union. Research into sustainability at AAU approaches these challenges from the same standpoint as the German government's Scientific Advisory Board on Global Climate Change that a 'great transformation' in production, consumption and lifestyle is needed to meet them. Such a transformation can only be achieved by using technological and also social innovations to change society.
Sustainable development, understood as a regulative concept of environmentally compatible, socially just, economically viable development, is an area of research that is picking up pace worldwide. An interdisciplinary approach is necessary to deal with the demands of sustainability research and to provide science-based policy advice.
All faculties at Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt, and the Faculty of Interdisciplinary Studies in particular, demonstrate their disciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary expertise in the field of sustainability research through a large volume of projects and publications. Of particular significance to AAU are its flagship contributions to sustainability research from the humanities, social sciences and cultural studies, as well as notable contributions from the areas of technical science and law.
Specialist subjects worked on by researchers at AAU include: energy, sustainable land use, sustainable social metabolism and sustainable resource policy, interdisciplinary environmental reporting, social and cultural aspects of a sustainable society and sustainability education. AAU has a large number of highly competitive, third-party-funded projects that focus on these topics. These include an ERC-funded project, publications in high-ranking journals and a variety of public science initiatives geared towards promoting innovation and learning at a regional and international level.

Team work in action bringing empty lobster creels ashore
Rowing boat, creels and shelter building
Another dry and sunny day as the team head for survival island
Wednesday June 3rd 2015
As we write this entry all forty Year 6 pupils are getting to grips with Survival Island. It is the culmination of the week's work, everything they have learned here put into action – making their own decisions and exercising their own judgment to survive overnight on an uninhabited island without the input of teachers or instructors.
They landed on the island at about 5pm and will return tomorrow morning at 7am for hot showers and a cooked breakfast before we head to the beach.
It has been a dry day with plenty of sunshine and a stiff breeze. The teams have been across the loch at Ardmore to see John Ridgway's 1966 Atlantic rowing boat and hear the story of the voyage from Rebecca. Lots of questions from the pupils, which is great!
We picked up lobster creels on our return and despite a lack of lobsters there were plenty of shore, spider and brown crabs, some sea urchins, and the Red Arrows hauled in over 70 giant whelks!!
We've also filled any remaining gaps in the survival skills that teams had not already completed so far. All the pupils have been fully focused and 'on task' today which is just what is needed to make this evenings challenge on the island work for them.
A chance to relax and reflect on the beach at Oldshoremore together, maybe a bit of swimming and body boarding, and a Reds v Blues tug of war to settle the Olimpets competition.

This week I am at the American Geophysical Union meeting, so I have access to lots of fossils! This fossil is from the Lower Cretaceous (about 125 million years ago) and was found in what is now Brazil. It is a perfect sample for my favorite game of "animal, vegetable, mineral"—we already know it is a mineral now, but was it once an animal or a vegetable (as in a plant)? Does it help if I tell you that you can find something very similar today?
I think it looks a little like a maple seed pod, but is it? You tell me!

The Parish Council is following the Forestry Commission's advice on managing infected trees, which is summaried here:
'You are not required to take any particular action if you own infected ash trees, unless we or another plant health authority serves you with a statutory Plant Health Notice requiring specified actions. You should, however, keep an eye on the trees' safety as the disease progresses, and prune or fell them if they or their branches threaten to fall and cause injury or damage. You can also help to slow the spread of the disease to other ash trees in your area by, where practicable, collecting up and burning, burying or composting the fallen leaves, and by following our detailed advice and guidance.'

text: Zadig and Voltaire Dress Fashion|August 5, 2018 Dress– Zadig and Voltaire Boots–Zadig and Voltaire I just got back from the best family vacay to Hawaii. Maui is our favorite and Kaanapali is perfect for the kids. I can't believe this is our last family trip until Ben goes to college. I'm having a very hard time letting him go, but I know it will be so good for him and I cannot wait for him to have his college experience and become independent. We had such good family time and Hawaii is the perfect place. Stay tuned for an upcoming post all about it. And as I wore all of my cute little sundresses in Hawaii, I have been thinking about the upcoming fall and thought it would be fun to do a sneak peak post about a fun fall look. I am loving Zadig and Voltaire. Have you checked them out? They are currently having a major sale and I had to pick up a few pieces. And how cute is the print on this amazing dress. It's so funky and edgy. I love it. And I paired it with some Zadig and Voltaire booties. They are the perfect pair of moto boots for fall. I hope you check out Zadig and Voltaire and find some great pieces for late summer and early fall. You can shop these looks by clicking on the links above. Thanks to Kara Nixon for photos and Happy Reading!!!! 1 Comment Share

Member Blogs > ten pound island book companyA Classy Move
Sun, 17 Aug 2014 09:42:08 Permalink
In what I hope is not a trend going forward from the canceled Philadelphia Book Show, exhibitors received word last week through the grapevine that the summer Papermania show in Hartford CT had been called off.
In a phone conversation with Gary Gipstein, son of the show's originator Paul Gipstein, Gary said that the managers of the XL Center
(the new name for the venue in which the show is traditionally held) were, per their management agreement, making improvements to the building. Gipstein had been notified that this work was coming, and had been assured that it would not conflict with the August Papermania show.
Indeed, in his walkthrough weeks prior to the opening date, everything seemed to be in order.
Then Gary and co-promoter Arlene Shea got a call from the management company. The air conditioning system was not yet functional. The vast dungeon where the show was held - known as the Exhibition Hall - would be uninhabitable. The promoters scrambled to find a new venue, to no avail.
Gary and Arlene worked the phones (they are not the most technologically advanced operation, and do not seem to have bulk email capability to exhibitors) and the afformentioned "grapevine" - I first heard of the cancellation in an email from SNEAB (Southern New England Antiquarian Booksellers) president Peter Masi. Word was also spread on social media and through print and digital journals such as Antiques & the Arts Weekly. So it's likely that all of the 140 exhibitors at this mammoth event have gotten the word.
I asked Gipstein if he'd simply credit my booth fee toward the winter Papermania show and he replied, "Since we've put you exhibitors to so much trouble, we thought it would be better to give you a prompt cash refund." A classy move, in my opinion.
My concern is more with the hundreds of attendees. Americanist Michael Vinson, for example, and his non-refundable airplane tickets from New Mexico. Guess he'll be doing a New England tour next weekend! And what about all those little folks, private collectors, who swarm in from all over the northeast and happily spend the weekend poking through bins of paper. Have they all gotten the word? Do Gipstein and Shea keep an up to date contact list of attendees? Stay tuned.
Just a note of history here. Gary told me that this was the first cancellation in Papermania's 40 year run. That would put its opening in 1974, the year the XL Center – then called the Hartford Civic Center – opened. The roof collapsed in the winter of 1978, but the show dodged that bullet. The summer event started sometime in the 1990s and, though it was always the weaker of the two paper shows (Hartford in August makes Hartford in January look good) it managed to attract a healthy group of exhibitors, and remained an event where great finds might be made. Ah, well.
Here's an item that would've knocked 'em dead at next week's show. Now it's bound for the Brooklyn Book Fair in September - unless you buy it first.
Manuscript. SHIP BUILDER'S REFERENCE BOOK. CA 1840 - 1860. Folio, unpaginated. About 100 pages. This remarkable document is a reference book compiled by English shipbuilder George Munro in the mid-1800s. It contains accounts for various jobs, ephemera and sketches documenting those jobs, lists of materials, rules and formulae for ropemakers, riggers, and sailmakers, lists and tables of various sorts of timber such as English Oak and American Elm, rules for drafting, laws for admeasurement and essays on stability and speed in design of ships. These are supplemented by detailed drawings of blacksmith work, coppering, and construction details of merchant vessels. Finally there are pencil drawings and colored drawings of vessels such as the "Barque Lousia Munro going into Shields." This was clearly compiled by Munro over a period of years, as a reference work to assist him in his shipbuilding business. As such, it highlights matters of concern to a shipbuilder of that era, and shows practices that were actually used in the shipyards. It is a remarkable collection. I've never seen anything quite like it. Old boards detached, text and illustrations are clean. $7500

Botanical name: Impatiens leggei Family: Balsaminaceae (Balsam family)
Mary Legge's Balsam is a recently (2010) discovered species of Balsam, named as a tribute to late Ms Joan Margarete Legge, a Botanist deputed by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh in 1939 for botanical exploration in the Valley of Flowers. During plant collection, she slipped from a rocky slope and died in the valley. It is an annual, erect herb, 15-70 cm tall. Stem is simple to moderately branched, hairless or glandular, with few scattered, small, rounded, brown stalkless glands, particularly in the upper part of the stem. Leaves are alternate below, clustered in the upper part of the stem, stalked below, almost stalkless above. Leaf-stalks are up to 4 cm long, hairless. Leaves are lanceshaped to oblong or elliptic, 4-18 x 2-7.2 cm, base narrowed, tip long-pointed, margins toothed. Leaf surfaces are hairless. Leaf margins with basal teeth show glands. Flowers are borne in racemes in leaf axils, clustered in the axils of the upper clustered leaves, usually exceeding the leaves, stalked. Inflorescence axis (including peduncle) is 2-18 cm long, hairless or with sparse, sessile, brown glands; bracteoles ovate to lanceshaped or elliptic, long-pointed, usually gland-tipped, 1.5-3.8 x 1-2.6 mm, hairless. Flower-stalks are slender, curved at tip. Flowers are 4-18 per raceme, white, pink and yellow or white, lavender and yellow. Lateral sepals are greenish or yellowish-creamy; lip (lower sepal) is white or flushed with yellow or with yellow irregular spots or streaks within (which appears pale from without); spur is white or purple-tipped white; upper petal is white; wings on either side of fusion point flushed with yellow or orange-yellow at the base or with yellow or orange spots; upper lateral petals (of fused pair of wings) are white or pinkish-white, lower petals pink or lavender, often white at base. Lateral sepals are 2 (one pair of opposite sepals), ovate to lanceolate, unequally parted by midvein, sometimes somewhat curved, 2.5-5 x 1.2-4.5 mm, margins entire, tip long-pointed, gland-tipped or not, surfaces hairless. Lip is navicular, 1.0-1.8 cm long (including spur), 5.2-8 mm deep at face, with 0.3-0.5 mm long-pointed or cuspidate lower tip and smoothly tapering into long, straight or terminally slightly curved spur. Upper petal is cucullate, circular to oblong-circular, 5-10 x 5.8-12 mm, tip notched, back keeled. Capsules are linear or linear-clubshaped, 1.7-3.4 cm long, 1.2-2.4 mm broad, straight or curved, hairless, green, often purple at base and tip. Mary Legge's Balsam is found in partly shaded or open moist places and rock-shade, in Western Himalayas, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, at altitudes of 2400-3450 m. Flowering: July-October.
