This is the first book I've read by DJ Jamison and I think I've discovered a new must-buy author! I loved Jonas and Quinn. At the beginning of the story, Quinn is struggling. He has dropped out of school and escaped an abusive relationship, but he has been lying to his mom about the whole situation, and is feeling completely lost. He's fortunate that his former step-dad loves him like a son and offers their family cabin in the mountains of Colorado as a place for Quinn to stay and get his life in order.
Even though they were step-brothers as teenagers, Jonas has been crazy in love with Quinn for years. Quinn was so grief-stricken over his dad's death when they were kids that he was nearly unreachable, and the only way Jonas could get any reaction out of him at all was to antagonize him. What Quinn never knew was that Jonas was desperately trying to pull him out of the deep hole of grief he was drowning in. After their parents split up, they didn't see each other, and it had been 4 years since they had one awkward but unforgettable kiss under the Christmas tree.
When Jonas decides to head up to the family cabin for Christmas a few days early, the last thing he expects to find there is Quinn. It doesn't take long for the spark of attraction between the two to flare into a burning flame.
I adore stories of couples getting snowed in together, and this one was perfect. I loved how Quinn was totally unprepared for the conditions of a snowstorm in the Rockies, but he was still determined to exert his independence. He was going through such a tough time, but he discovered his strength and independence up in the mountains. He learned that Jonas not only respected his wishes, but loved him because of who he was.
Jonas' character stays pretty steady and solid throughout the book, but we get to see Quinn come out of his shell and grow into his own person. He learns to ask for what he needs, in the bedroom with Jonas, and in all other areas of his life; learning that not every guy he meets is controlling and mean like his ex. He goes from being a depressed, beaten down young man, to the brilliant, sassy and strong person he truly is. And though Jonas believed he had been in love with Quinn for all these years, he realizes that true love is a give and take, not a one-sided thing. What he comes to feel for Quinn in the present is real, true love and doesn't hold a candle to what he felt when they were kids.

Herman Ingram is at a crossroads. Ten years ago, he reigned as the preeminent journalist in Washington, D.C.

Today, he runs a successful news site. However, that story still haunts him, a specter he can't shake. It propels him on a quest to uncover the truth, no matter the risk. He wants his work to mean something, needs it to. More than anything, he needs the right story.
And then, as if fate itself were wrapped and delivered to his doorstep, a mysterious package materializes, offering him precisely that.
Inside the box are blueprints detailing a "revolutionary bio-metallic alloy." The documents outline a plot to unleash this substance into a critical water source. In a race against time, Herman embarks on a mission to unmask the enigmatic sender. His pursuit narrows in on George Wilman, a chemical engineer with ties to the shadowy facility orchestrating it all. Now on the lam, George's whereabouts remain a tantalizing mystery, adding a layer of urgency to the unfolding intrigue.
Herman intensifies his pursuit of the elusive scientist once he learns he's not the sole hunter on this trail. As time slips away and the stakes soar, Herman faces a series of crucial questions: to what extent will he push the boundaries for redemption? Is he prepared to stake his life to unveil the truth? Has he already come too far to turn back?

Leeds Rhinos: I'll play anywhere for the team says Kallum Watkins
Watkins started in the second-row, for the first time in his Leeds career, against Huddersfield Giants eight days ago.
An injury to Konrad Hurrell meant a quick switch back into his specialist centre role and Watkins is likely to play there against Hull KR tomorrow, with teenager Harry Newman on the other flank.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdHurrell has made a powerful start to his Leeds career and Newman is rated as one of the best centre prospects in the country.
Rhinos have suffered a series of injuries to forwards, in particular the second-row and a change of position for Watkins could be one way of including all three in the team when Hurrell returns.
Wakins admitted he is unsure if the move last week was a one-off, but insisted: "We've got a lot of injuries at the minute and I will put my hand up to play anywhere.
"As a captain and a leader I have to do that and set an example and, brief as it was, I did enjoy it in the second-row.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide Ad"I was more involved in terms of defence, helping out the middles a bit more and if the opportunity comes again, when we're down on troops and I have to play there, I will do it."
But he added: "At the same time, I just want to win.
"It has been a difficult season for us, but we just need to get a good run of games where we are consistent and playing well.
"We have had those moments in patches which has given us the confidence to know it can happen.
"As a team we are working really hard to get results right and we just need to be consistent week-in, week-out."
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdTomorrow's game could ease Rhinos' relegation worries or leave them deeper in trouble.
Rovers – who are third from bottom, one place above Leeds – will open a two-point gap if they win, but Rhinos have a better for and against and could move up at least one place with a fourth successive home victory.
"It's massive," Watkins said of tomorrow's clash.
"We've had a couple of good results and not backed it up.
"That has been the disappointing thing and it's down to us as a team to get that right.
"It's important this weekend to get a good performance against a tough side who beat us at their place a few weeks ago."
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdWatkins admitted: "It was an up and down Easter period for us, a good result against Huddersfield and then we weren't the best with the ball in our hands at Wakefield which cost us.
"We were disappointed with that, but we're coming into a big game this week against Hull KR and it's important we prepare the best we can and get ourselves ready.
"Both teams have got some injuries so there's opportunities for players to come in and do a good job. It's a good challenge and we're looking forward to it."
He stressed: "The big thing for us is earning the right to play. With your defence you get that right.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide Ad"I think it is getting better, but on top of that in the Wakefield game our attack was a bit down and not clinical enough at certain moments.
"We made too many errors and we've been working on that in terms of preparing.
"I think we can do well with the ball, but that comes from having a good defence.
"When we played them last time our defence was poor so our focus is on getting that right and then hopefully what we do with the ball will help us through it. It is all down to us to get that right."
Rhinos under-19s face Wigan Warriors in a curtain-raiser tomorrow, kicking off at 12.30pm.

Fifth disease is a viral infection affecting babies, young children and sometimes even adults. It is due to an infection with parvovirus B19. Characteristic signs of a fifth disease include body rash, face redness and even cold-like symptoms. Luckily, these symptoms are usually mild and tend to resolve on their own.
What Are the Symptoms of Fifth Disease in Babies?
If your baby gets infected with parvovirus B19, you will notice the following signs:
- Slight fever
- A sore throat
- A runny nose
- Headache
- Fatigue
- An upset stomach
- Diarrhea
- Eye redness
- Swollen glands, etc.
This signs and symptoms last for about 7 days before the skin rash becomes noticeable. The baby cheeks will become red, while this skin redness can also appear on other body parts such as in the hands or feet, trunk, buttocks, thighs, etc. Sometimes this skin rash is accompanied by itchiness as well. Rarely, blisters or bruises can be noticed.
In general, the skin rash tends to resolve within a week or up to 10 days. However, sometimes the skin rash can last up to one month or tend to reappear as your baby has a fever or if your baby is very active or upset.
In about 20% of fifth disease in babies, no signs and symptoms will be noticed. Among adults, joint pain is common when infected with parvovirus B19, while this symptom is not noticed in babies and young children.
When to See the Doctor
You should seek medical help in cases when the symptoms tend to get worse over the time. or when you notice a joint swelling in your baby.
In cases when the high fever lasts longer than normal, or if the fever becomes higher than 103.5 degrees Fahrenheit, you need to take your child to a doctor. It does not have to be an infection with parvovirus B19. This condition can be caused by other infections as well, which might require a different treatment.
Also, seek immediate medical help in cases when your child has other medical diseases such as cancer, leukemia, HIV infection or has had an organ transplant, as the fifth disease can be quite serious in these cases, causing even life-threatening complications.
Is Your Baby's Fifth Disease Contagious?
Yes, the fifth disease is contagious just like any other viral infections. It spreads from one person to the other with nasal secretion and saliva.
Once exposed to the virus, it will take about 14 days for the symptoms to become noticeable. During this period of incubation, your baby can transmit the viral infection to others. Fifth disease in babies is also contagious during the first week when cold-like symptoms become noticeable until the skin rash appears. By the time skin rash appears, the baby can no longer transmit the disease to others.
If your baby goes to daycare, you should keep him/her at home during the cold-like flu symptoms or during the incubation period.
How Is Fifth Disease Treated and Prevented?
Just like any viral infection, fifth disease infection requires supportive treatment which is characterized by bed rest and a lot of fluids. Acetaminophen or ibuprofen might be needed for the fever and discomfort. Do not give your baby aspirin, as it can result in Reye's syndrome, a life-threatening medical condition.
Once the skin rash appears, your baby will be feeling much better. Sometimes, skin rash can be accompanied by itchiness, so a hydrocortisone topical cream or antihistamine topical cream might be necessary.
Sometimes, the fifth disease in babies can lead to anemia. In severe cases of anemia, hospitalization and even a blood transfusion are required.
How to Prevent Fifth Disease
Fifth disease viral infection has no vaccine which would prevent it. Because a person can transmit the viral infection before the skin rash becomes noticeable, it is kind of hard to prevent such an infection. However, you should not take your baby to daycare if you know that other children are being diagnosed with the fifth disease.
Teach your baby to wash the hands carefully, not to keep the fingers in the nose, mouth or eyes and to sneeze or cough using their elbows to cover the mouth.

Memories and experiences of contemporaries
- Sergey Davidovich Bat. Memories. A talented engineer, author of the book "Amateur Loudspeakers" and many articles on DIY radio engineering, recalls his acquaintance with technologies, situations in which the leaders of large enterprises communicated on a par with ordinary radio amateurs, and also shared memories of his childhood and the development of practical skills of an engineer: from creating the first coils in the school to design their own speakers.
- Alexander Kutikov: "People come to the Abbey Road studio for the air." Bass guitarist and vocalist of The Time Machine group Alexander Kutikov spoke about his approach to sound recording in the style of "old school", the technical features of the recording of the music of Time Machine, and also about recording at the legendary Abbey Road studio.
- Sound podcast: old new sound. The guest of the 26th edition of the Sound podcast was Yuri Fomin , a sound engineer and acoustic system engineer who worked with numerous Soviet groups and artists. We talked with Yuri about how music was recorded in the Soviet era and how music creation has now become available to anyone who has a computer, as well as why modern music often sounds the same.
History of Soviet technology
- Receivers from the USSR: a brief history of audio systems in Soviet cars. From this article you will learn how audio systems developed in Soviet cars: from the first radio receivers to more advanced acoustic equipment. This story includes experiments such as turntables, "elite" receivers for high-profile cars, and a radio that could work in car and portable mode.
- "How the screen became speaking": the story of the shorinofon. Before the era of world-wide tape recorders, inventors experimented with alternative ways of recording sound. One of such scientists was Alexander Fedorovich Shorin, who created a device called "Shorinofon", which was popular in the USSR in the 1930s and 1940s. In this article we tell about the history of the apparatus and its use in Soviet cinema to record the sounds of the city in the field.
- Sound recording history: from mechanics to digital. What was the innovation of the Shorinofon and why the device did not become popular outside the USSR? This material will help answer this question, in which we will follow the development of recording formats from the first phonographs from the 19th century to the digital revolution and iTunes.
- Unusual musical instruments that did not become mainstream. One of the most unusual musical instruments was invented by the Soviet physicist Lev Termen during a scientific experiment far from music in 1918. In this article, we tell the story of the creation and popularization of the Thereminx, in which there was even room for a concert in the Kremlin in front of Lenin, and we recall other musical instruments that turned out to be too unusual for the general public.
- Wide cinema format in the USSR: SOVSCOPE 70 mm. Back in 1957, the USSR began to develop widescreen film systems under the common name SOVSCOPE. We are telling how the technology, on which they made big bets in Soviet times, turned out to be unnecessary in modern times.
Radio Engineering Plant: Past and Present
- Soviet legend: the history of the plant "Radiotekhnika". How did Radio Engineering become one of the main Soviet radio equipment manufacturing plants? The history of the Riga company, which is not a problem period, but continued in its employees and a completely new production process.
- Report from the plant "Audiomania" in Riga. New life of the plant "Radiotekhnika", which became the basis for the production, created by the hands of experienced engineers of the enterprise. We show the full cycle of creating Hi-Fi columns: from wood processing to final assembly.
- As in Arslab, they seek and find the balance of price and quality of columns. The history of the Arslab brand, which combined foreign innovations and many years of experience of Radio Engineering veterans, as well as an overview of some models of the brand's speaker systems, which combine decent quality equipment with a price not exceeding two thousand dollars.
- Yuri Fomin: "Acoustic system is a complex but accurate mathematical model." Interviews with professional audio engineer Yuri Stanislavovich Fomin about his work on the Arslab brand, the philosophy of creating acoustic systems and important production details that are not always noticeable to the average person.
- Acoustics Old School: familiarity with the history of the brand. The former production of "Radio Engineering" has become home not only for Arslab, but also for other brands of speaker systems. One of them is the nostalgic brand of premium equipment Old School, to which one of the episodes of our podcast was dedicated. In addition to the history of the brand, we discussed how the fashion for speaker design is changing.
USSR heritage in modern times
- Myths and facts about vintage loudspeakers. Yury Fomin argues whether vintage radio engineering can "live" as much time as musical instruments, and gives advice on restoring vintage loudspeakers.
- The soundtracks in Dolby Atmos format will be recorded on Mosfilm. The development of the largest cinema concern in Russia continues. One of the new stages in the history of the studio was the creation of a studio recording sound in Dolby Atmos format.
- Flexible plates - a universal carrier, which is back from the past. As an underground recording, "music on the bones" preceded the distribution of flexible records with monthly magazines and a strange competition from McDonald's: consider the history of an unusual format of vinyl and its prospects in the modern world.

"Soviet Woodstock" is difficult to compare in scale and cultural influence with the original festival, but behind the Iron Curtain were held their concerts, which featured the main rock bands of the time. The history of five major rock festivals, which were held contrary to the prohibitions and reactionaries.
- Fairy tales in the USSR: the story of "child" vinyl. Soviet records with children's fairy tales were significantly different from modern audio books, if only because well-known actors and composers took part in the recording, who were trying to make familiar plots something more. In this article, we remembered the history of the recording of "children's" records, which often turned not so much to the children, but to their older relatives.
- Russian radio plays: from the "Baby Monitors" to "Solaris". Although radio plays are more likely to be associated with Western works, this genre has become popular in the USSR and Russia. From this article you will learn about well-known radio plays that were created in the Soviet and post-Soviet times based on both science fiction and classic novels.
- Why Rachmaninov played concert number 3 faster than others. Although after the revolution, Sergei Rakhmaninov left Russia, he was closely associated with his homeland and worried about the fate of the country. This article tells about the features of the composer playing the piano and how it relates to the history of sound recording.
- How dubbing actors work. The foundations of modern cinema dubbing were laid down by the Soviet dubbing tradition, in which the voices of the actors were completely copied, which made dubbing a complex creative task. From this article you will learn about the intricacies and difficulties encountered when dubbing films.
- Odnogolosy dubbing - the history and the main names of the era of VHS. Where did the "nasal" dubbing of films from the 80s and 90s come from and why was it so common in pirated recordings? We remember the first films of the era of VHS and translators, whose voices we learn even after many years.

Poker is a game of chance, but it also involves a good amount of psychology and math. Players bet on hands that they believe have positive expected value and bluff other players for a variety of strategic reasons. Regardless of whether you play as a hobby or professionally, it's important to have the right mindset before playing poker. Here are some tips that will help you improve your game and increase your chances of winning.
Practice and Watch Other Players
There's no better way to learn the game than by practicing it with experienced players. Observe how other players react and use these observations to develop your own instincts. You should also read books and articles about poker, and try to implement the strategies that have been proven successful by other players.
Choosing the Proper Limits
Beginners tend to stick with strong starting hands when they play, but this isn't enough to win. Serious winners take a wider range of starting hands and are looser than beginners. This allows them to play more pots, which increases their chances of hitting the right combinations.
Choosing the proper limits and game variations for your bankroll is also essential. It's important to find games that are both fun and profitable, and avoid those that won't add up to your bankroll. A good way to do this is to play at a single table and observe all of the action. This will give you a clear picture of the mistakes that other players make, so you can exploit them.
Position is a Crucial Factor
When you're in position, you have more information about your opponent's hand than they do. This gives you bluff equity, which means that you can make cheap and effective bluffs. However, it's important to remember that your opponent will likely know when you have a strong hand.
If you're holding a strong hand, don't be afraid to raise it in a multiway pot. This can force weaker players out and raise the value of your pot. It's also important to keep in mind that you can still bet into a pot when you don't have a good hand.
It's crucial to understand how to calculate your poker odds and percentages, so that you can make the best decisions possible. This will help you to understand the pot odds and the probability of hitting your desired outcome, so that you can make decisions based on logic rather than emotion. This will make you a much more successful player. In addition, top players have a lot of patience and are able to read other players well. If you can learn to do these things, you'll be a winning poker player in no time!

Page load time refers to the time it takes for a web page to display content after landing on the page. There are two categories of website page load time: First Contentful Paint (FCP) and DOMContent Loaded (DCL). FCP refers to the time it takes to load the first piece of content on a webpage. Page load time is often measured in milliseconds. It is important to note that the average page load time is higher than the median.

If you are experiencing extreme sensitivity or are suffering from advanced periodontal disease, you may be required to have a tooth extracted. With a simple extraction, the dentist can safely remove the affected tooth without the need for major surgery.
Reasons for a tooth extraction
There are numerous situations in which a simple extraction can help alleviate pain or prepare you for another cosmetic or restorative procedure. Some common reasons for extraction include:
How is a tooth extracted?
As a precaution, the dentist will first take X-rays of the tooth or teeth in question, to help plan the procedure. After preparing a method of extraction, you will be given a local anesthetic that will prevent you from feeling pain during the procedure. Next, the dentist will use a tool called an elevator to lift the tooth and loosen ligaments and gum tissue around the base of the tooth. Finally, the dentist will use a pair of forceps, to gently rock the tooth back and forth until it breaks free of the ligaments holding it in the gum tissue. Occasionally, a stubborn tooth will resist the dentist's soft tug, refusing to come out. In these and more complex cases, the tooth may need to be broken up into smaller pieces for removal.
Once removed, we will pack gauze into the socket and have you place pressure on the area by biting down. If necessary, the dentist will place stitches to close the socket.
If you are sick the week prior to your scheduled extraction or on the day of, please contact our office, as alternative arrangements may need to be made. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

By David Newman, Special for USDR.
If you want to make the next 12 months more successful, more profitable, and more productive than the last 12 months, these ten strategies are for you.
By the way, this list isn't just for a new calendar year – you can revisit this list at any time and create a real turning point in your business if you're willing to reboot, reinvigorate, and reimagine your business success.
1. List the three most important objectives for your business over the next year. These should be critical "big picture" accomplishments that will lead to profits and future achievement.
2. For each objective listed above, identify your responsibility in achieving the objective. WHAT will you do? HOW will you do it? WHEN will you do it?
3. Be crystal clear in separating strategies (how and why items) from tactics (what and when items) and use "Verb-noun-date" format to create specific action steps and put them on your calendar.
4. Don't think of the year as a whole. Break it down to monthly metrics and put quarterly goal-planning reviews on your calendar so you can adjust the dials on your plan, measure results, and take a strategic look at your marketing, sales, and business development activities every 90 days while keeping a close eye on results (profits, clients, projects, revenue) every 30 days.
5. Don't go it alone. Remember, lone wolves starve to death. Think of partners, advocates, allies, referral sources, and joint venture partners who can help you leapfrog over obstacles and who are a great supplement and complement to your own products and services. Contact them and build (or grow) your relationship with them so you can collaborate more closely – starting right now.
6. Develop a list of professional development goals for the next 12 months. What do you want to learn, do, or become as a business owner? Go to conferences? Gain additional certifications or professional designations? Speak more? Get more articles published? Be specific and put these activities on your calendar so you make sure they happen.
7. Develop a list of personal goals for the next 12 months. What do you want to accomplish for yourself and how would you like to grow personally? Spend more time with your partner? Stay focused on your kids as they grow up and/or pursue their college or post-college adventures? Dig deeper into a special hobby or sports? Drop 10 pounds? Run a 5K? More golf? More vacation time? Where? When? With whom? Map it out to make it happen!
8. Don't get distracted. Shiny object syndrome has a powerful pull on most entrepreneurs and business owners. Stay focused on the big picture goals you set in Step 1 above – and then relentlessly ask yourself for every new ideas, initiative or project, "Does this support one of my three goals? If so, how?" And don't let yourself off the hook as easily as you might have done in the past.
9. Live out of your calendar, not your inbox. Plan your day – what MUST get done and WHEN? Chunk your day down into blocks and assign specific tasks to those blocks – Phone calls, emails, client tasks, whatever it is YOU want to do that will move you closer to your GOALS. Keep that calendar under your nose. All day. Make it your default screen. Hide, minimize or (gasp) close your email until "check email" pops up on your calendar.
10. Breathe. Relax. You got this. Any time you're creating an inflection point in your business, it can be scary. You're letting go of the old – letting go of what no longer works or what no longer serves you well. And you're embracing the new – the untried, the uncomfortable, perhaps even what seems risky. But the biggest risks of all are stagnation, arrogance, or complacency. Remember – a bend in the road is never the end… unless you fail to turn.

You might be fighting a war against the corruption of the Fell Dragon, but the merchants of Elyos need to put bread on the table. And the best way to do that? By charging you an arm and a leg for every upgrade, Seal, and Healing Staff. Fortunately, there's one way to reduce the painful siphoning of your gold: and that's the Silver Card. Here's how to get the Silver Card in Fire Emblem Engage.
How to Get the Silver Card in Fire Emblem Engage
The Silver Card is easily one of the most useful items in the game, as it offers you a 30% discount on the wares of both the item shop and armory. Excellent, as you'll need as much cash as possible to refine your weapon and ply your army with a variety of random junk to make them like you.
But I'll be the first to bear the bad news. While in many previous Fire Emblem installments you could find the Silver Card hidden in some random chapter… that's not the case for Fire Emblem Engage. If you want the Silver Card, you're going to have to buy the Expansion Pack for $30 USD. Granted, that purchase does sign you up for four waves of DLC that will be scattered throughout the year, but that can be quite the blow, especially if you're not certain you'll be returning to the game once you beat it.
And even if you do purchase the DLC, the Silver Card won't be handed to you on a silver platter. You'll need to complete a particularly difficult paralogue (assuming you're doing it at the start of the game) and circumambulate a significant way around the map to get it.
Related: How to Find the Silver Ticket in Fire Emblem Engage
Fortunately, completing that paralogue means not only getting the Silver Card, but a very good Emblem Ring to boot. If you're curious as to precisely where in that paralogue the Silver Card is, I've linked an article explaining it above.

Shimla: Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal made an appeal for saving birds as well as other flora and fauna for maintaining ecological balance in the hill state.
Speaking at the inauguration of a three day photo exhibition of birds at the Gaiety Theater, the chief ministers said such exhibitions were instrumental in providing rare glimpses to avi-fauna to the society and helped to sensitize them towards the environment.
Birds are an important link in our ecology and many species were facing extinction because of changing weather patterns, he said.
The exhibition has put up pictures of some rare birds as well as some peculiar habits of species captured on frame that are not normally visible to the naked eye.
Besides bird lovers, children and tourists have found interest in the pictures put up at the gallery.
The pictures have been captured by photographers Somesh Goel, an additional director general of police (ADGP), Manjula Mathur, Gobine Bhardwaj and Umang Dutt.
Other than the resident bird population, Pong Dam Lake on Kangra has become a popular destination for winter migratory birds, some of which fly down from Siberia and Central Asia, giving photographers a chance to observe and catch rare birds on film.
Birdwatchers and wild life department who monitored the winter flocks put a count at about 1.5 lakh birds at Pong Dam which has been declared a protected Ramsar sanctuary zone. More than 230 species of birds belonging to 54 bird families have been recorded at Pong wetland.
Birds that have been spotted in the lake include flamingos, grey and purple herons, egrets, spoonbills and storks.
Waterfowl species that have been spotted include bar-headed geese, pintails, common pochards, coots, grebes, cormorants, , ruddy shell duck, common teal, shovellers, moorhen, stints, lapwing, plovers, shank, snipe, gull, terns, kingfishers, kites, mallards, gadwall, egrets and marsh harriers.
As Editor, Ravinder Makhaik leads a team of media professionals at Hill Post.
Spanning a career of over two decades in mass communication, as a Documentary Filmmaker, TV journalist, Print Media journalist and with Online & Social Media, he brings with him a vast experience. He lives in Shimla.

Artist to Know: Jessica Dismorr
Eldred's to Present Two Paintings by Pioneering Abstract Artist Jessica Dismorr, Jessica Dismorr (self-portrait), c. 1929. Image © National Portrait Gallery, London. Amid the mayhem of avant-garde London in the 1910s, a group of artists gathered to offer an English alternative to Cubism and Expressionism. Using Ezra Pound's modernist view of the 'vortex,' the rising Vorticists placed themselves at the center of a bustling art scene. English painter Jessica Dismorr was one of two women who joined the group. Her male counterparts derided her work despite including her in exhibitions. That did not deter Dismorr. She participated in almost every major avant-garde art movement in early 20th-century Britain. Dismorr later situated herself as a pioneer of abstraction. Two paintings by Jessica Dismorr will hit the auction block in late October. Eldred's Women in the Arts auction will begin at 4:00 PM EDT on October 28th, 2021. Learn more about Dismorr before placing a bid. Jessica Dismorr, In the Alpes Maritimes, France, c. 1910. Image from Eldred's. Raised in a wealthy household, Jessica Dismorr had extraordinary access to education from an early age. She studied at the Slade School of Fine Art starting in 1903. The School encouraged its women pupils to live as equals to men. Dismorr nurtured an interest in drawing that only grew when she studied at the Académie de la Palette in Paris. The city was a passageway into the avant-garde world. Dismorr experimented with Fauvism and radical politics while there. She would need both to enter the Vorticist group. The Vorticists were small in number but determined to place London on the modern art map. Dismorr signed the movement's manifesto in 1914. The group printed its ideals alongside calls for women's suffrage and English innovation. However, the outbreak of World War I halted the Vorticists' efforts before they gained much traction. Dismorr served as a nurse during the war years and experienced the strain of an unstable world. In her pre-war paintings, abstraction and geometric shapes were the dominant themes. Dismorr closely followed the nearly Cubist style adopted and modified by the Vorticists. After the war,…

Landscapes by Fidelia Bridges and Abstract Works of Eda Sterchi Come to Auction at Eldred's
Painter Fidelia Bridges was known for her elaborate and detailed landscapes. She was a seminal woman artist who worked with both watercolor and oil paints. Bridges painted "as if the year were all springtime," explained critics. Her paintings of birds and flowers in meadows and marshes created lyrical happiness. The upcoming Eldred's auction presents Birds In A Marsh Landscape by Fidelia Bridges. It shows a small bird diving under a patch of grass near the water. This sale exclusively highlights the work of women artists. An oil painting titled Interior Scene With Two Women by Eda Elisabeth Sterchi is of particularly interest. A bold and independent artist, Sterchi created paintings that were famous for their European Modernist influence. The featured artwork portrays her signature abstract style and bold colors. Bidders will also find paintings by avant-garde artist Jessica Dismorr. Notable is Dismorr's In the Alpes Maritimes, France oil on board painting depicting a white hill town among trees and mountains. With its thick and bold application of colors, this piece is an example of Dismorr's abstract austerity. The auction also features works of Impressionist artist Martha Walter, a bronze by Agnes McGuire McCahill, and hand-crafted designer jewelry by Etta Jane.

Artist to Know: Andrew Clemens
Skinner Brings Bottle of Sand Art from 19th-Century Master Craftsman Andrew Clemens, a self-taught folk artist, did not live long enough to enjoy fame. His works were executed in sand and contained in small apothecary bottles. Despite their delicate craftsmanship, the mid-19th-century public would have considered them curiosities, not monumental pieces of fine art. To prove their authenticity and to entertain the working-class attendees of dime museums, these pieces of sand art were often smashed to pieces. "It's a curiously sad story, like an episode in a Dickensian novel," writes Ken Johnson for The New York Times. Though Clemens likely created hundreds of sand art pieces in his lifetime, only a few have survived. One of them will come to auction with Skinner this November in a timed online sale. The bidding will close at 7:00 PM EST on November 23rd, 2020. Learn more about Andrew Clemens before the auction ends. Andrew Clemens (1857 - 1894). Image from Wikipedia/ public domain. Clemens was born to German and Prussian immigrants who followed a gold rush to McGregor, Iowa. At five years old, Clemens contracted encephalitis. Though he survived the swelling of his brain, the artist lost his hearing and much of his speech. That early illness later brought him to the Iowa Institute for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb. During his student days, Clemens started to follow his interest in art. His summer vacations were spent exploring the bluffs of the Mississippi River, collecting bits of multicolored sandstone and quartz. Clemens carefully built a palette from the grains of these stones. He found shades of pure white, ochre, red, yellow, blue, and green. Once Clemens got home, the real work began. His first projects involved layering the colored sand in rounded apothecary bottles using simple herringbone or diamond patterns. Gradually, though, Clemens' skill increased and he took on more ambitious subjects. Clemens used hand-crafted tools to manipulate the sand. He never secured his works with glue, instead relying on careful packing and pressure to hold all the grains in place. Each bottle was completed upside-down before being permanently sealed.…

Kelton Collection Leads Eldred's Annual Marine Sale August 13
East Dennis, Mass. – Eldred's annual summer Marine Sale is highlighted this year by the Kelton Collection of Marine Art and Artifacts, a wide cross-section of paintings, ship models and rare navigational instruments amassed by California businessman Richard Kelton over a 30-year period. The annual auction, believed to be the only dedicated marine art auction in the U.S., will be held Thursday, August 13 at the firm's headquarters on Cape Cod, and will also include an extensive selection of scrimshaw, prisoner-of-war ship models and other nautical antiques. William Bradford's portrait of the clipper ship Golden West, part of Eldred's annual Marine Salewww.eldreds.com Kelton, who died 2019, was an avid yachtsman and explorer, and a prolific collector, much of it focused on marine art and the Pacific Ocean. In 1982, he established the Kelton Foundation to sponsor archaeological and ethnographic expeditions, and to exhibit, loan and research his collection, estimated to number 5,000 items. Eldred's will be offering more than 200 lots from his collection in a series of sales through 2021, although the bulk of the material is part of this particular Marine Sale.

Webb, estimated at $3,000/5,000. Gregg Dietrich, Senior Consultant at Eldred's, has worked with Richard Kelton since the early 1990s and said, "It is an honor to be working with this collection again. Mr. Kelton loved the history behind marine art and antiques he purchased, which is evident by the amount of research that he put into each piece he collected. I will miss his perspective and dedication to researching and understanding the pieces he collected." The anticipated top lot from the Collection is a portrait of the clipper Golden West of Boston by William Bradford (American, 1823-1892), estimated at $60,000/80,000.
