While Warner Bros. is primarily focused on fleshing out the DC Extended Universe and continuing the Harry Potter franchise with the Fantastic Beasts movies, next year will see the studio revive another familiar franchise in a new way. Ocean's Eight is a spin-off from the previous Ocean's trilogy starring Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, and George Clooney that now features an all-women main lineup. Since its announcement, fans of the prior films have been curious to discover how this new franchise hopeful will connect to the movies of old.
Even with an entirely new roster of characters, the heist premise will once again be in play for the Gary Ross (The Hunger Games) directed Ocean's Eight. The ensemble cast is headlined by Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett, but also includes a number of other recognizable faces. With fans eager to see more of the film than just set photos, they now have the first official cast photo to check out instead.
Warner Bros. released a photo that features every member of Ocean's Eight's female heist team riding a subway, none looking too happy with their situation. To go along with the photo, EW also revealed character names for each of the ladies featured below, one of which confirms a major connection to the previous Ocean's movies. From left to right the photo shows Sandra Bullock (Debbie Ocean), Cate Blanchett (Lou), Rihanna (Nine Ball), Mindy Kaling (Amita), Awkwafina (Constance), Helena-Bonham Carter (Rose), Anne Hathaway (Daphne Kluger), and Sarah Paulson (Tammy).
Most of the cast names at face value do not provide too much new information about the film, but some of these ladies' mysterious last names could have ties to familiar characters. Then again, their last names could be meaningless in the grand scheme of things; hence they have not and potentially will not be revealed over the course of Ocean's Eight.
The big reveal here is confirmation that Bullock's character is going to be related to George Clooney's Danny Ocean. The two are most likely siblings, with Bullock's Debbie following in the career footsteps of her brother. However, instead of taking on casinos in Las Vegas, she is more interested in taking down the fashion world. With Anne Hathaway's character also rumored to be a model, it looks very likely that a fashion-focused plot is in play.
As more details about these characters and the plot come to light, it will be interesting to see how they connect Ocean's Eight to the previous Ocean's films. Matt Damon has already confirmed his Ocean's character, Linus Caldwell, is set to make an appearance in the film, so could he too be related to one of these ladies? It is possible, but we will have to wait and see just how exactly this plays out.

Today is the final day for Canadians to submit their comments on Bill C-32 to the legislative committee examining the bill. New posts of submissions include Heather Morrison linking open access with copyright reform and Dylan McCall with a library perspective. Meanwhile, CBC.ca covers the politics behind the bill and MTV News tries to get younger Canadians interested in copyright reform (Clip 5).
More Canadians Speak Out on Bill C-32, Deadline Today
6 Comments
My final comment…
… is "drop it". Abolish copyright. And patents while we're at it.
so how do i tell them that this is a bad idea(bill). i need the info quick because i am going to be late for my 2 of 3 jobs to pay for my "new" internet bill.
I used http://www.ccer.ca , they have a letter wizard, I didnt send the standard letter they have, but wrote my own views and what I think would be fair. Somehow though I expect I will get the same canned response so many received.
It seems so many people do not even know this is happening, I just found out today !
Very good things
Awesome post! http://www.gemsdrugstore.com/ please keep up the great work i would love to hear more like this.
Copyright Law should strict !!!!!
Hionestly, speaking, I violated copyright law ove over again while I was school. I simply copy the books or course pack materials from my friends who legally purchased it. I really feel bad now when I think of it. The main reason was lack of knowledge about the copy right law or lax copyright law that are not implementaed by Govt. I really feel sorry for the people or writer who spend years to write a book and never receive the returns. I think our copyright law should be strict enough to discourage students, teachers and other violating the copyright law and respect the right holders.
X U of T student
Good thinking there, Bon. You have character. Most folks here are internet addicts who want no barriers to their addiction.

Today is my niece's twelfth birthday. I didn't really plan it this way, but it's quite fitting as we get ready to celebrate her journey through some of the most awkward years in life, I'm looking back at the same years in my own life.
I was SO awkward when I was younger. In fact if Current Me, ever ran into Past Me I would laugh and be extremely embarrassed watching myself bumble through things that come as a second nature to me now. The worst of it was human interaction. I had absolutely zero social skills until I was like 24. (which, by the way, was only two years ago lol) By social skills I don't mean manors. I always tried to be polite. Please, thank you, holding the door open, polite conversation I could do those things. Building off of the basic shell of polite conversation is where I got myself into trouble.
I was always extremely quiet around people I didn't know, and for good reason. The few times I did branch out and express my opinion I did so with out hesitation nor tact earning myself many more enemies than friends. Most people just brushed it off and attributed the offense to my youth, but in doing so no one actually took the time to correct me which drug out my awkwardness so much longer than it should have gone on. lol. I'm still pretty curt and brash especially when I'm in a bad mood, but at least I recognize that I'm curt and brash now.
Oooooooh so many events transpired in those tender years. Really profound events that at the time completely passed by as just another day in the life of Kelli. That is just about the only good thing that comes with PTSD. A vivid memory of everything, not just the bad things that shaped and defined my life, but the good things as well. Of course having this extra vivid memory gets me into a lot of trouble. STILL gets me into a lot of trouble, especially when I remember things differently or more profound than others.
The greatest example I can think of, and the first time I noticed that my memory was substancialy more vivid than most others came about when I was about sixteen years old. Two brothers whom I had known since I was quite young were getting ready to ship off to join various branches of the military. I remembered them as being two people who had taken the time out of their day to talk to me and just generally be kind to me when most others weren't. They were a really big part of my life, but I was just an annoyance in theirs.
The more I tried to explain myself and present my point, trying to get them to understand why this was such a big deal to me, the more they wrote me off as crazy. Eventually I gave up, realizing that I was only making the miscommunication problem worse, but that whole few months really stuck with me. It frustrated me to realize that I was different, but not know WHY or HOW my mind worked this way. The more I reached out to people trying to understand myself the more people I pushed away.
Even some of my closest friends at the time, completely wrote me off, telling me that I was simply obsessed and crazy. Instead of helping me through the problem, they only continued to tell me that what I already knew. I had a problem. I was "crazy." Well OBVIOUSLY I had a problem, which is why I was so consumed with the whole thing. I didn't WANT to have a problem, I wanted to FIX the problem. The whole fiasco eventually ended with hurt feelings, and lost friends. Spurring me into my angry I Hate Life phase, where I remained until my early twenties.
That, among other events in my life is why I was SO THANKFUL to finally get an answer to the burning questions that had been haunting my life: Why am I different? How can I fix it? The answers? PTSD, and I really can't fix it. I can learn how to control my… er… episodes I guess we'll call them, and I can recognize my triggers but the effects are permanent. I only wish I could have given it a name back in those days of early adolescence. It wouldn't have made my life any easier, but it certainly would have given me a better jumping off point to understand myself and how I relate to others.
Anyway… that post got a lot deeper than I had intended. lol. Off to the birthday party. Until later Bloggies. 🙂

Growing up in the '70s-'80s where rock music ruled and being a rebel was equivalent to the modern day vegan hipster, every teenager dreamt of literally singing his own tune. Where words lacked, the sounds of a sweet guitar lick could amp up the oomph value of any tune. Aijaz Hakim, architect and the man behind AHA, was no different.

Low profile control surface with very low power consumption
See also the entries for NEXUS and NEXUS Star routers for information regarding the central DSP/router core and I/O hardware aspects of the AURUS platinum.
The Stage Tec AURUS platinum is a highly-specified digital audio mixing console designed for on-air or off-air production work in TV, theatre and other live environments, or for high-end studio recording. It is an evolution of the AURUS console, and combines the best features of AURUS with recent developments in DSP design and capability.
AURUS platinum embodies Stage Tec's Direct Access principle, in which as many console and system functions as possible are provided with dedicated controls. The control surface layout is thus entirely familiar and logical, while also being highly configurable, to suit individual engineers' preferences and the requirements of each project.
The console's audio processing and surface control is within a Stage Tec NEXUS Star routing system. All main system audio inputs and outputs are connected via one or more cards in NEXUS Base Devices, which may be located adjacent to the console, elsewhere in the facility, or many kilometres away. Fibre links (dual redundant if required) connect these to the NEXUS Star central router unit which includes the system's DSP; the NEXUS Star is also connected via fibre to the AURUS platinum surface.
The control surface itself handles no audio other than local signals for talkback, nearfield monitoring, etc. If the facility's audio system uses a NEXUS system as the main audio backbone router, the mixing console transparently forms part of the system, and has access to any sources or destinations within the facility. NEXUS's flexibility also permits more than one AURUS platinum control surface to be connected into the system, and thus multiple tasks can be undertaken simultaneously, using the same overall "pool" of I/O resources with no constraints.
I/O options:
The modular design of NEXUS racks permits almost total flexibility of I/O configuration. Almost any combination of analogue and digital audio formats may be specified to suit the facility's infrastructure; multichannel options include MADI, SDI, Dante, AES67 and Ravenna with copper or optical I/O; analogue (mic/line) and digital AES3 connectivity is also readily available. NEXUS frames are fully scalable, and the system is thus future-proofed as further audio formats are introduced.
Control surface:
The control surface layout of AURUS platinum has been deliberately designed to be as logical as possible. The console may be specified with 16 to 96 channel strips (in blocks of 8), with full freedom of layout. Selection and assignment of input sources to processing channels and buses to output destinations is through the NEXUS Input and Output Matrixes respectively, controlled from the console's master section. Channel strips have 8 "layers", so that a large number of sources may form part of a project, yet be under the control of a relatively manageable number of faders. The layers – which are user-definable – are accessed by a local button on each channel strip, and the currently-selected source indicated by an alphanumeric display next to the fader.
Ergonomic design:
Responding to engineers' comments about the ergonomics of many digital consoles, the multifunctionality of channel controls is kept to a minimum. Each channel strip has 32 switches, and 11 dual-concentric rotary controls – each with two LED fan displays – giving immediate access to 22 variable parameters. Full control over all channel parameters is simultaneously available in the central control area. Audio channels may be freely linked to form stereo pairs or multichannel stems as needed, and controlled by a single strip. Linked controls may range from the entire set of channel parameters to a single control.
Workflow improvement:
AURUS platinum may be freely configured to suit the task in hand. The entire console configuration – may be saved as project files for immediate recall. AURUS platinum provides three separate automation systems: snapshot, which allows an entire set of system settings to be stored or recalled; scene, where snapshots are sequenced and manually recalled; and dynamic, which stores changes made to all audio parameters against timecode to 10 mS accuracy. Off-line editing of automation data is provided, which includes programmable autofade and automatic cross-fading between scenes.
Metering and monitoring:
The meter bridge consists of a large, colour TFT screen for each 8-channel block; the data to be shown on each and its display parameters are under user control. As well as bargraph-style metering of signal levels (most international metering standards are supported), the screens can also show channel data such as EQ curves, group and bus assignments, operation of the dynamics section, surround panning visualisation and I/O port identification. Output bus loudness measurement to EBU R128 is also available as an option. The screen above the master section can also display the NEXUS control pages, giving full control of the system input and output matrixes and all other routing, signalisation and logic functions.
Power supply and reliability:
Despite the AURUS platinum's high level of functionality, power consumption is remarkably low and the console has no internal fans. Continuous diagnostics report any component problems on the console main screen and via SNMP; both console control panels and Nexus boards are hot-swappable, with rapid restoration to the last-known configuration. Dual PSUs for all system elements are standard.

2017 Calgary Real Estate Market Influencers (Part 3) - Energy Sector/
With the arrival of 2017, we have more question marks and uncertainty than ever before. I am getting bombarded with questions about how the market will perform in 2017 in comparison to the previous year; when we will finally see the bottom; and how the revitalization of the oil industry will affect the Calgary real estate market. Here is a detailed analysis of the market influencers for the Calgary real estate market and their outlook for 2017.
Today, we will be talking about the Energy Sector:
A soft energy sector has weighed on overall economic conditions across the region. Over the past two years, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil prices slid by roughly 60%, causing companies to cut investment spending and reduce operating costs.
These decisions impacted employment throughout the sector. Yet with expected reductions in total oil supply, many in the industry now believe the market has hit bottom. As a result, prices are expected to stabilize between $50 and $55 USD per barrel in 2017.
While oil prices are not high enough to encourage a significant amount of investment growth, a sustained period of price stabilization above $50 USD per barrel is expected to prevent any further contraction in the energy industry.
- In 2017, the energy sector is expected to focus on maintaining a low-cost environment, limiting employment growth opportunities;
- Market access is important for future growth in the Canadian energy sector. Positive momentum can support renewed interest in investment, but long time delays and cost barriers could adversely impact the local market;
- If proposed production cuts made by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) are implemented, this can support price improvements in 2017;
- Potential shifting of US Energy policy could have implications on the Canadian energy sector. While the details for these changes are unknown, they would play an important role in influencing Calgary's economy;
- The Petroleum Services Association of Canada (PSAC) expects drilling activity to improve slightly from 3,950 active and new wells in 2016 to 4,175 in 2017, but will remain 63% below 2014 activity. PSAC also does not expect a significant ramp up of activity until Alberta gains access to global markets and commodity prices improve;
- The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) expects modest capital spending improvements in Western Canada, rising from $22 billion this year compared to $17.5 billion in 2016. However, oilsands investment is still expected to drop in 2017 to $14 billion, from $16 billion in 2016, which is 60% below the $33 billion spent in 2014.

Anthony of Padua, The Flight into Egypt
Mid-16th century
Church of St. Roch, Draguć, Croatia
The three figures with haloes are of course Joseph, Mary, and the Christ Child. They appear to be leaving Bethlehem: the parapets of a city wall are behind them, and right of that a star appears to be shining one golden ray onto Mary.
The figure on the right is Salome, who accompanied the family in The History of Joseph the Carpenter. According to some manuscripts of Pseudo-Matthew he was Mary's stepfather. He also appears with his beard, satchel, and staff in this fragment of an altar screen, also from Croatia but five centuries earlier.
The artist, Anthony of Padua, was an Istrian painter identified by the French Michelin Guide.

Max Payne 3 Review
The words "Max Payne" will have one of two effects on you: Either you will read the words and recall the noir storyline, the complex character progression and the revolutionary gameplay mechanics that made such waves back in 2001... Or, like me, you see a ridiculous person's name which obviously means 'maximum pain', and remember hearing about this game where there was slow motion and painkiller addiction and was fashionably "controversial" for it's time, 10 years ago. Well here we are, 11 years after the release of the original Max Payne and we're getting a third instalment, or at the very least, a game called Max Payne with a number 3 on the end.
The game picks up a year or 2 after the events of Max Payne 2. Max is still managing to survive, even finding some work in private security in Brazil. His vices remain intact, obviously still reliant on pain-killers and getting drunk at pretty much every opportunity, lamenting over almost everybody he meets in his own head while shit hits fans all over the place. He finds himself surrounded by rich socialites, whom he is forced to not only protect but also tolerate. I imagine I would be less than thrilled myself, being in that situation (the people he has to watch really are quite prickish) but what's immensely irritating, is hearing his drug-addled, drunken inner ramblings about how disgusting the rich upper class are when he can't even function without a drink in his hand or a pill in his stomach. Who the fuck is Max Payne to feel contempt for somebody just for having money? He's a fucking prick! Max Payne as a 'person' is an immensely unlikeable character from beginning 'til end, but that's only the start of the game's problems.
As with the other games in the series, you play in the third person perspective and shoot enemies in the head, torso and limbs repeatedly, utilising Max's ability to slow down time (activated by clicking in the right stick and refilled by killing people or being shot at) to shoot people in the head or to tip the odds in your favour in a tough spot. Pain pills return as your source of health, and you either administer them yourself by hitting 'Up' on the D-pad or by waiting until you die, then you start a Borderlands-style 'Last Stand' minigame whereby unless you shoot the person who just landed the killing bullet on you, you die, but if you manage to peg your killer then you come back to life but spend a pain pill. This fails entirely 50% of the time by having enemies shoot you from impossible angles at which you could never shoot them back, effectively making it more frustrating than helpful. The game has 3 modes of shooting: Hard Lock, Soft Lock and Free Aim. Hard Lock is an auto aim, which is a guaranteed hit every time; Soft Lock auto aims when you initially hit the left trigger but then doesn't follow the enemy after that (the way I played) and Free Aim is, predictably, where you are given no aiming assistance. Max can roll by double-tapping A, can jump with 'RB' (which will also trigger some slow motion) or he can take cover with a press of X by an appropriate surface.
In one sense, the gameplay is fine, but in another, less untrue sense, the gameplay is actually pretty shite. The cover feels shoehorned in and unbelievably poorly integrated, to the point where you wonder exactly how close to shipping they actually decided to ram it in there. Max Payne doesn't so much as get into cover, as he just sort of sloppily collapses onto it. I've been playing Gears Of War 3 a little bit recently and the way cover feels in that game, it's a necessity, it's so easy and intuitive to flit from cover-to-cover, slamming up against the wall with a satisfying thud that tells you "Dude, it's fine, you're in mother-fucking cover!!!", conversely, Max will often run up against a piece of waist height cover as you frantically hammer the X button and just sort of wipe his trouser leg on it, or, even worse, you'll rub up against a surface expecting to get straight into cover, only for Max to stand near it, then his delayed reaction will get him into cover AFTER you've pressed the cover a 2nd time, resulting in him popping out of cover, again with a delayed reaction. It just doesn't work well enough, especially because they make Max super fragile to account for the new cover mechanic.
Another huge problem with the combat is it's animations. Max will do a slow motion dive, but before he does it he steadies himself, bends his knees and then does the dive. Doesn't sound like much, but considering it's also followed by slow motion it feels like an unnecessary addition. After diving, Max will lie there until you flick the stick in a direction then he will stand up, but his standing up animation takes fucking AGES, and all the while you're just getting fucking shot repeatedly. The same thing with all the other animations too, plus, if you're slow motion diving and you hit something (a cardboard box, a window ledge etc.) it will take you out of slow motion instantly and leave you stuck in either a getting up animation or an ouch-I-just-hit-a-thing animation, each leaving you to get riddled with hot, painful bullets. I found, after about an hour of play time, that diving in order to activate slow-mo was more trouble than it was ever worth. If, say, you did the dive as soon as you pressed the dive button, then once you landed on the ground you could get up and sprint away quickly, the combat would have a much faster, more satisfying pace, but as it is, it's slow and painful, not just for Max, but for the player aswell. You stand behind cover, slow down time, headshot, wait for Max to get back in cover, then release slow-mo. It's boring and when you're not watching cutscenes it's ALL you're fucking doing, for fucking hours. It gets tiresome.
Fortunately, though your time is split between cutscenes and lackluster shooting, the cutscenes are actually pretty well done. They're all done using the in-game engine and for the most part they look really good. They contain little flairs, which are unusual, like key words flashing up on screen as a character says them, or coloured flashes to show how fucked up Max is all the time. They're distracting at first, but a necessary evil if you want to try and enjoy anything about the game, as they're everywhere. There's no polite way to segway into this, so I'll just say it... The story is ridiculous, and in a bad way. You start out as basically a bodyguard for a powerful family and stuff just keeps happening that defies character logic, or any reasonable person's behaviour, I mean you could make the argument that Max isn't a reasonable person, but that's just another reason to dislike the game. If there's a saving grace in the story apart from the presentation, it's Max's partner and friend, Passos. He's Hispanic and a badass and he and Max have some great banter. He's basically the only proper friend Max has had in a long time, largely due to Max being a cunt, and he's constantly giving him shit in a friend-y way that rings super true to how guys actually talk to each other. Pretty much the entire game I was either hoping he would turn up soon, or didn't want him to leave Max's side when he did. Passos is great.
As are the game's graphics. The game looks a treat, thanks in no part to the varied locations Max gets to visit, from skyscrapers and nightclubs, to the rainforest and the slums of Brazil, the colour palette of the games is bright and vibrant, and despite the fact that all you do is shoot guys and watch cutscenes, it remains just the right side of tolerable due to the presentation, which remains impressive throughout. If there's one main problem I have that stands above all else story wise, it's that every single advert and piece of promotional material for the game depicts Max as a bald guy in a blood stained vest. Not going into story details here but Max's baldness happens a good halfway through the game! I was expecting, after seeing the adverts and trailers and such, that Max would be bald from the beginning, but knowing it was coming totally ruined the impact for me. The worst thing about this though, is that had I not know about the baldness, it actually would have had TONS of impact! The things Max goes through leading upto the baldness would have had way more impact had I not already had in my head he would be bald at some point, but Rockstar's marketing for the game basically ruined the game's most impactful moment.
The game has other modes than the story, it has a score attack arcade mode, and a multiplayer where you use slow-mo on people by being near them or by having them in your line of sight, but I didn't play either of these modes. You do so much of the same stuff in the game's story mode (literally JUST shooting guys), and I was so burnt out on the gameplay by the game's ending that I just couldn't be bothered doing more standing around waiting for a slow motion gauge to fill up. In the end it all got a little bit... tedious. Not to mention that it's a depressing world to be in, with people living in squalor and constantly getting murdered horribly and unnecessarily. It's made to look like the worst place in the world, and I didn't enjoy spending a great deal of my time there.
Scoring this game is hard, and reading my review back I realise that, whilst I haven't exaggerated my feelings at all, I still feel like the game was better than alot of others I've given low scores to (Neverdead springs to mind instantly, that got 2 stars, and was WAY worse than this). In Max Payne 3 I found an experience. One that I got fairly bored of, and one whose tone I didn't often appreciate (if at all) but despite that, the most important thing was, that I found it to be an experience. For all the stuff I thought it did wrong, the game must have done something right, because it kept my attention for 12ish hours. Content-wise it's certainly fits into a niche of game that gets made all too seldomly, and I give it props for that, but it's not enough compensation for the damages it makes you suffer.
What score do you give a game with below-average gameplay and above-average presentation? Turns out you reluctantly give it a 3 and don't really give it a second thought. Oh God, I hope it doesn't come and kill my fictional wife and children in a vicious bout of revenge! I doubt it, not really sure where I'd get such a grim and horrific idea as that though...

Historic Huguenot Street Acquires Assets
of New York's Huguenot Heritage, Inc.
Including 17th-Century Huguenot Prints, Rare Books,
and Financial Assets for their Preservation
NEW PALTZ, NY (March 28, 2018) – Historic Huguenot Street (HHS) is pleased to announce that the New York State Attorney General and New York State Education Department (SED) have approved the transfer of all assets from nonprofit organization Huguenot Heritage, Inc. to HHS. The transfer includes the acquisition of the Huguenot Heritage collection, which is comprised of dozens of 17th century rare Huguenot prints, books, and other items relating to Huguenot history and culture, as well as the organization's mailing list and financial assets of close to $1 million. Steven Miller, formerly associated with Huguenot Heritage will serve on the HHS board for three years.
Huguenot Heritage, Inc. was founded by John P. (Jack) Strang, a descendant of Huguenot refugees who in 1687 settled in what is today New Rochelle, NY. John Strang, or "Jack" to those who knew him, passed away in 2012. Jack led a life dedicated to the arts and to preserving the heritage and accomplishments of the Huguenots in the United States and abroad. In founding Huguenot Heritage, Strang set out to research, preserve, and share the unique contributions of Huguenot descendants across a wide spectrum of disciplines. These efforts were a major force in the restoration of the Chateau Chamerolles in Loiret, France.
"Historic Huguenot Street very much looks forward to preserving and sharing Jack Strang's vision, and to protecting, preserving and sharing with the public the important collection of Huguenot Heritage," said Mary Etta Schneider, HHS Chairman of the Board. "HHS was pleased to honor Jack's legacy at a fundraising event last fall, and we hope to reach out to Huguenot Heritage supporters in New York and elsewhere later this year." Schneider went on to say that "I met Jack over a decade ago, and we shared a vision to preserve the disappearing story of the many contributions of the Huguenots to American and European culture." HHS also was a recent beneficiary of $400,000 from Strang's personal trust.
"With no physical space to house the Huguenot Heritage library, prints, and records, access to these valuable resources was limited," according to Kevin Tierney, Chairman of the Board of Huguenot Heritage. "After looking at several options, HHS became the logical choice for several reasons–it is the only remaining museum preserving an early 18th century Huguenot Village in America; the site is a National Historic Landmark District; the collections include an extensive library, artifacts, and archives; and HHS employs an enthusiastic and enterprising staff, now under the executive leadership of Liselle LaFrance."
Huguenot Heritage's remarkable collection is currently being evaluated by HHS' Curatorial, Library and Archival team led by Josephine Bloodgood. The print collection includes works by artists and designers with Huguenot ancestry such as Abraham Bosse (1604-1676), Daniel Marot (16611752), and American born Asher B. Durand (1796-1886). Nearly half of the prints are late impressions of works by Frans Hogenberg, in particular scenes of combat and massacre under Kings Henry II, Charles IX, and Henry III in France and the Netherlands. The books include a bound compilation of 17th-century published edicts and declarations of various French kings.
This acquisition will set the stage for HHS to broaden its mission to become a center for the research and interpretation of Huguenot history beyond the New Paltz settlement. A strategic planning initiative will allow HHS to thoughtfully consider the needed resources and educational opportunities. An exhibition and catalogue of this fascinating collection is planned for 2019.
About Historic Huguenot Street
A National Historic Landmark District, Historic Huguenot Street is a 501(c)3 non-profit that encompasses 30 buildings across 10 acres comprising the heart of the original 1678 New Paltz settlement, including seven stone houses dating to the early eighteenth century. Historic Huguenot Street was founded in 1894 as the Huguenot Patriotic, Historical, and Monumental Society to preserve the nationally acclaimed collection of stone houses. Since then, Historic Huguenot Street has grown into an innovative museum, chartered as an educational corporation by the University of the State of New York Department of Education, that is dedicated to protecting our historic buildings, preserving an important collection of artifacts and manuscripts, and promoting the stories of the Huguenot Street families from the seventeenth century to today.

Hutong at The Shard
The Shard was opened to the public in February 2013 and since then it's made countless appearances particularly on social media as visitors post images of the view across London. It has become something of an icon of the London skyline.
I have never been to the Shard. The closest I've managed to get to it is looking skywards at it as I pass by London Bridge but all this was about to change.
As a very late birthday present I was invited to dinner by a friend and the restaurant of choice was Hutong which is on the 33rd floor of The Shard. The reservation was on a Sunday evening which perhaps is a blessing in disguise as the place wasn't as crowded as one would imagine it to be.
I'll divide this review into sections which should make it more palatable (see what I did there)
Venue - Undoubtedly the reason most people come to dinner at the Shard is the view. This isn't a comment on the quality of the food served. This point was made clear by the other patrons around us constantly on their phones taking pictures. This gets distracting as there was a flash going off from every angle. The restaurant's website has this to say about the view "we cannot take requests for window tables, the layout of our restaurant is panoramic and all our tables and bar offer a beautiful view of the London skyline" This is very true, wherever you're seat you're in stored for a fabulous view. On the night we visited the city was lit up like a jewel.
Food - Hutong serves Northern Chinese dishes. We decide to indulge as it was a special occasion so our order was as follows
2 Crispy prawn rolls
1 Pork dumpling with garlic sauce
1 Crispy de-boned lamb ribs
1 Chef's rice
1 Seafood fried rice
1 Braised beef in aged vinegar and ginger sauce
1 Chocolate tart and a mango pudding and of course a bottle of wine to top things off
Service - The service was a little slow to start with. The discouraging part of the whole meal was when after spending 10 minutes choosing a wine from their wine list and telling our waiter what we wanted he took the order and disappeared for 5 minutes only to come back and ask if we were sure we wanted that wine and rudely pointed to the price to find out if we could afford it.
All in all a fabulous birthday meal in an amazing location with the only suggestion that the staff are a little more attentive to their patrons. ****

Energised! is how we felt after a visit to the Artists @ 318 Ceramics exhibition yesterday at Leith Hill Place. This atmospheric house, with panoramic views, has a rich and interesting past. It was the childhood home of pianist and composer Ralph Vaughan Williams, home to the Wedgewood family and frequented by Charles Darwin.
The 'Clay Stories' exhibition is on until 2nd September and a visit is highly recommended for inspiration and a creative vibe. The ceramic exhibition is very much at home in this house, the works are cleverly displayed…..and there is an unexpected treat in the basement!
We also took the opportunity to take part in making a Wedgewood themed bowl, which will become part of a mass participation installation at the house from mid August. The workshops were extremely popular (another one next Saturday, 4th August), so the results should be sensational. Thanks for WSP's Rachel Whitehead and Annie Hardy for your help!
Well done everyone involved, a fabulous success.

These were really good. I used wonton wrappers instead of pre-made shells and they wer a huge hit at a recent baby shower.
If you bake these at 375 in the bottom third of your oven for 25 to 30 minutes till just set you don't need to pre cook the shells thanks for the recipe
Very delicious and simple to prepare! I served these at an open house and they were a big hit! They disappear quickly right out of the oven, but are also tasty when served cold.
paired-up with Beaujolais wine for your truly epicurean delight !!! party-on, mon ami !!!
Very simple and yummy. The first to dissappear at the potluck!
This recipe is a must! SO tasty!!!!

In a meeting in Washington, D.C., the Subcommittee on Quantum Information Science (SCQIS) of the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) released a policy roadmap for coordinating government funded R&D in quantum technologies for the federal government. Key aspects of this policy include the following:
The next steps in furthering this effort will include development of details execution plans to support the stated policy goals by the relevant government agencies and to identify Grand Challenges of fundamental scientific or technology problems in specific sub-fields whose solutions would have a broad economic and scientific impact. You can find the full document released by the Subcommittee on Quantum Information Science here and a summary report of the meeting and the breakout sessions held at the meeting here.
In association with this same meeting, the National Science Foundation (NSF) released $31 million in quantum related funding awards for 33 different projects. The recipients included 27 different academic institutions and the projects are divided into two groups. The RAISE-TAQS group of projects will fund 25 different projects at about $1 million each for innovative, interdisciplinary research that will help lead to systems and proof-of-concept validations in quantum sensing, communication, computing and simulations. The RAISE-EQuIP group of projects will fund 8 different projects at about $750 thousand each for to explore the frontiers of quantum engineering and integrated approaches that go beyond the individual devices and components to enable scalable quantum communication systems. For more details on the NSF awards, you can view the press release here and the awards for RAISE-TAQS here and the awards for RAISE-EQuIP here
The Department of Energy (DOE) also released $218 million in awards for 85 different projects. The recipients include 28 different academic institutions and 9 national labs. The awards were made by three different program offices in the DOE. The Basic Energy Sciences (BES) office made awards to 34 different projects, the High Energy Physics (HEP) office made 42 awards, and the Advanced Scientific Computing Research office (ASCR) made 9 awards. You can view the DOE press release announcing the collection of program awards here.
One of the most significant of the DOE awards was to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory for $30 million over five years for the Advanced Quantum Testbed project. The Berkeley Lab will collaborate with MIT Lincoln Laboratory (MIT LL) to deploy and evaluate different superconducting gate-level quantum processor architectures. In addition, a new organization called Berkeley Quantum, a partnership between UC Berkeley and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, has been created. More details on the quantum testbed project can be found here and an announcement regarding Berkeley Quantum formation can be viewed here.

According to a study by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, those who send text messages while driving are 23 times more likely to be in a crash. And, texting takes your eyes off the road for an average of 5 seconds. At 55 mph, that's driving the length of a football field completely blind.
I recently had the chance to watch this eye-opening documentary on texting while driving. Then I took out my cellphone, opened up my text messages and read the last text message out loud. Would reading or responding to that text message from behind the wheel of a moving vehicle be worth the risk of getting into a car accident or worse? Chances are, the text message could wait. It's hard to think of it that way, especially when at the time, you are curious to what the text message says. It can most likely wait. I've teamed up with AT&T, as they sponsor this content so we can share the information below about this campaign.
If you're an AT&T customer, download the AT&T DriveMode app and share your experience and encourage your community to to do the same if you find it useful in lessening distractions behind the wheel. It is available in the Appstore, for Blackberry and Android phones. See more here.
AT&T wants you to take the pledge to not text while driving. AT&T will honor those taking the pledge by contributing to non-profit organizations focused on youth safety. You can take the pledge and share it with your friends on the AT&T Facebook Pledge Page.

Yesterday Imran Haider, 30, was arrested at Suvarnabhumi airport after being identified by police from CCTV images taken along the road from Karon to Patong in Phuket.
Haider exchanged counterfeit notes with a value of 1,400 dinar for 148,000 baht at a currency exchange booth on December 28th at a booth in Karon.
The staff said that on first examination the notes looked fine but on further inspection at the end of the day the realized they were counterfeit and immediately called the police, according to Karon Police Superintendent Weerawat Jantarawichit.
The police traced Haider to his hotel in Patong thanks to CCTV footage they were able to put tighter of him riding his motorbike from Karon to Patong.
Col Weerawat said "we saw him enter a hotel and went there to investigate, staff at the hotel gave us his name and told us that he had already checked out".
Once an arrest warrant was issued the Karon police contacted Phuket immigration who in turn contacted immigration officials at Suvarnabhumi airport at 10am. The officers discovered that Haider was in the airport and had checked in for the 11am flight to Pakistan. The officers then rushed to the departure gate and found the man. A search of his backpack revealed clothes very similar to those worn on the CCTV images.
The police presented the man with an arrest warrant, and although he acknowledged that he was named on the warrant he denied the charges. Col Weerwat said "he said that two Indian men gave him the money, he had photocopies of the first page of each man's passport, we are now going to investigate those men". Haider was taken back to Phuket to face charges of passing off counterfeit currency.
"Anyone who believes they have received counterfeit money should report it immediately to the Karon Pollice" Col Weerawat advised.

Overall GPA: 3.0 - My lowest semester was a 1.5 and I was placed on academic probation. By the time I graduated, I made Dean's List Honors and my last 60 c.h. was 3.56.
Science GPA: 3.1
GRE: 313.5 (162 quantitative, 147 verbal, 4.5 analytical writing)
Total HCE hours: 3,456 hrs - mostly from working in an oncology research lab conducting animal research.
Total PCE hours: 1,520 hrs - mostly from working as a research coordinator for lung cancer clinical trials' patients.
Shadowing hours: 171 hrs. - I shadowed a variety of PAs, MDs, NPs, and RNs to better understand the different roles.
Other volunteer hours: 36 hrs. - I volunteered as a mentor for Big Brothers Big Sisters, and also as a member for an advisory council collaborating with Colorado's Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) to improve access to Medicaid.
LORs: 4 - 1 from academic professor/PI, 1 from mentor/pre-health pipeline program (MD), 1 from PI of oncology research lab (MD), and 1 from mentor (PA).
How many times did you apply?: I applied 3 times.
Age: 26 yrs.
Gender: F
How many programs did you apply to? A total of 31 programs over 3 years. The first time: 3, second time: 12, third time: 15.
How many programs did you interview with and what were the outcomes? I received one interview invitation, and they accepted me! :) I am so grateful!
Where will you be attending? Rocky Vista University - I will be in their inaugural class of 2020.
Any red flags on your application? Definitely my GPA, and the fact that "academic probation" was stamped on my transcript. I think it's important to demonstrate growth (both academically and personally). I didn't retake many of my classes; instead, I took higher level classes that were similar (e.g. physiology AND mechanisms of human pathology, chemistry AND organic chemistry 1 and 2 AND biochemistry, etc.) and excelled in them. During my interview, I had the opportunity to explain this and how this turned out to be a huge learning opportunity that brought me to where I am today. Also, most of my healthcare and patient care experience was through research, so I had to really explain well how those skills would translate.
Anything you found surprising about interviews? The most surprising thing was how peaceful I felt after the interview. There was so much pressure leading up to it -- I mean, this was my 3rd application cycle and my ONLY interview invite thus far... But I left feeling like, "OK, I did my best. WOW, everyone that I interviewed with was amazing. If I don't get in, it's completely fair, because every. single. person applying is seriously, really amazing and that's just how competitive PA school is right now." Knowing and understanding that really helped me find peace in all of it, and kind of gave me the strength that I needed to prepare for my 4th round of applications if I didn't get in. :)
Were there any helpful resources (books, websites, apps) you used to get through prerequisite courses, the application or interview process? There are so many! The social media platform that PAs and other PA students are using have been so helpful, including blogs, YouTube videos, Podcasts, snapchats, and IG accounts. Books: How to get into PA School by Andrew Rodican, How to Ace the PA School Interview also by Andrew Rodican, So You Want to be a Physician Assistant: Your Guide to a New Career by Beth Grivett, and The Applicant's Manual of Physician Assistant Programs by Mark Volpe and Brittany Hogan. (Affiliate Links)
Any other advice for other pre-PA students? Good luck and don't give up. Don't make any assumptions (e.g. I made the mistake of assuming that people know that a research coordinator is direct patient care experience, without explaining the capacity of how closely I worked with patients to manage their care). BE YOURSELF and be able to articulate why you care on a PERSONAL level - the most helpful thing for me was just being able to talk to people about it! It's hard and puts you in a really vulnerable position, but it's good practice because that's exactly what you'll be doing for your personal statement and also for your interview. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE, and don't lose your voice in your application by framing your answers around what you think people want to hear. Most importantly, rejection is likely but it's NOT personal, as everyone else applying is a really great applicant... But guess what? SO ARE YOU! Try to enjoy the process as much as you can -- you really learn so much just by going through the process of applying and getting into PA school. And remember that it's not IF you get in, it's WHEN. :)
Where can we find you? IG: @anna_the_pa, feel free to email me if you have questions too! email@example.com

It's that time of the year again! Come on out to support Dennis Lee's Annual Click to Cure event for cancer research! This year, he is raising money for the Cancer Research Foundation in Chicago. It was started by the Goldblatt family of the Goldblatt stores. They support new and innovative research that often large organizations or governments overlook. Yet it's often this new research that leads to great leaps in science.
On July 12th, he will be shooting portrait sessions for a minimum donation of $100 to the Cancer Research Foundation. Bring your family, friends, dogs, cats, anything you want photographed in the name of a great cause!
Here are the details:
Studio 415
415 W. Huron St.
Chicago, IL
July 12. 10:00AM - 6:00PM
There are no reservation times. Walk in, he'll spend about 15 minutes taking photos, and you'll leave with a disc of all the images. He'll have food, music, and a lot of fun. One hundred percent of the funds raised will go to the Cancer Research Foundation. What a great cause and what a wonderful thing for Dennis to do!

You are hereBuilding / Boat Building Techniques / Strip-Built / Strongback
Setting Up Forms
Here I show using an aluminum strongback and spacers to quickly and accurately set up forms. This same technique would work with a plywood box beam. The aluminum is more rigid, but the plywood will work as well.
My newer book "Building Strip Planked Boats" includes a description of the spacer method of setting up forms on an internal strongback.
A quick strongback
I'm about to start building the first boats in my new shop. I'm going to exhibit at the Maine Boat Builder's Show and I need some boats to bring to it. I've decided to bring a Nymph canoe and while I am at it I figured I would build two. Unfortunately, I only have one strongback. So, yesterday I decided to build another. A strongback should be rigid and straight.

Wounded man found after Pasco suspected gang fight
Pasco A young man was found with a gunshot wound after a suspected gang fight early Saturday morning in Pasco.
Several residents in the area of South Sixth Avenue and B Street called police to report gunshots in the area about 4:30 a.m.
Pasco police stopped a car leaving the area and found a 22-year-old man who had been shot, said Pasco police Sgt. Mike Monroe. The wound was not life threatening, he said.
After hearing that some suspects may have gone to a nearby house on the 800 block of South Seventh Avenue, police obtained a search warrant for the house and cars parked there, Monroe said.
Because several people were in the house and potential gang involvement, a SWAT team provided support.Several children were taken out of the house Saturday morning and an unknown number of people were arrested. At least two cars were hauled away.

Mandalay City Development Committee and the general administrative officials on November 13 started removing about 120 homes of squatters near a former airport site in Chanmyathazi township in Mandalay.

Most of the squatters have live there for six years, but very few for much longer.

"When the first notice letter was issued, we submitted appeal letters to some governmental departments that we have students in our families, and requested them to wait until the academic year ends. But we did not receive any reply and we thought they would wait till the academic year ends. About two days ago, they sent another notice letter again. They gave us two days to move. But we did not move, and consequently they removed the homes," said Mya Win, a squatter.

Here's how to move beyond the water wars and save the Delta
The San Francisco Bay and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta estuary and watersheds improve the lives of nearly everyone in California, and many far beyond.
They put food on the table, put tens of thousands of people to work and deliver drinking water to more than 26 million Californians. These waters are a precious, shared resource. But there is a serious problem.
The ecosystem that the water supports is in crisis. Native fish, such as chinook salmon and steelhead, are on the brink of extinction. Populations of fall-run chinook returning to the San Joaquin River basin have plummeted 90 percent in the last 35 years. And the crisis is affecting other species that depend on fish for survival.
Simply put, these waters are no longer healthy and they need our help to survive. There are many reasons for the decline, including loss of floodplain habitat, pollution and predation from non-native species. But the key factor is inadequate flow remaining after farms and communities take their sips or gulps. Without adequate flow, floodplains don't flood, migrating fish can't avoid predators and pollution and salts don't get diluted and flushed through the ecosystem as efficiently. It's a cascading problem that is difficult to fix, particularly as climate change causes increasing extremes in precipitation.
Fortunately, we have the ability to restore some balance to this system through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Bay-Delta Plan. But this plan is now more than 20 years old and must be modernized for today's conditions.
The State Water Board staff has just released its final draft of the Lower San Joaquin and Southern Delta update for final public comment. It addresses flows on the three main tributaries of the lower San Joaquin River, and south Delta salinity standards to protect agriculture.
The staff also released an update on the Sacramento/Delta part of the plan to help the Sacramento River and its tributaries and the Delta and its tributaries, including the Calaveras, Cosumnes and Mokelumne rivers. Together, these plans detail the actions we must take to fix the problems in the Bay-Delta ecosystem.
Yes, leaving more water to flow into the Delta from both the San Joaquin and Sacramento watersheds will be challenging for water users, which is why the proposal sends more water but still less than what is optimal for fish and wildlife. Water users can adapt – by switching crops, becoming more efficient and storing more water in wet times. In contrast, species pushed to the brink of extinction have few options.
While the State Water Board has authority to address water flow and quality issues, it cannot order people to restore fish habitat or remove invasive species or take other actions that can help restore fish and wildlife with potentially less water.
But the board can reward such voluntary efforts through lower required flows, providing an olive branch to those who would leave water wars behind in favor of real action.
The public will have additional opportunities to comment on both plan updates. Meanwhile efforts are underway between stakeholders and other state agencies to design voluntary agreements.
Californians need, want and deserve a healthy environment, agriculture and communities. That happens best when people rise to the occasion together.
Felicia Marcus is chairwoman of the State Water Resources Control Board. She can be contacted at email@example.com.

Solving The Suicide Epidemic
Most people would have traded lives with Anthony Bourdain. He was a world-renowned chef, decorated author, and television star. To the outside world, he was living the dream. In his mind, Bourdain felt differently which led him to take his own life earlier this month. People expect miserable, depressed people to have demons that drive them to commit suicide. Bourdain's tragic ending shows that anyone in any walk of life can be overwhelmed by their personal problems. No matter how bad you feel about life, there are ways to get through the tough times.
Before his lifetime of accolades, Bourdain heavily used various drugs; he took LSD, methamphetamines, cocaine, and many other mind-altering substances. He dealt with extreme levels of stress in the restaurant industry and later stardom. Most people saw his life of traveling and eating exotic foods and envied his life. Based on his suicide, Bourdain was not nearly as happy as the outside world would have expected. Something in his life wore him down, leading to his demise. Success and stardom don't fix emotional, life-shattering issues we have; the only way to solve those problems is by facing those demons through various steps.
Suicide is often overlooked in society. While celebrity suicides shock the public and major stories, normal everyday people commit suicide at an alarming rate. According to suicidology.org, 44,965 people committed suicide in the United States in 2016, about 123 per day; over 77% of those victims were males. These statistics are staggering and emphasize the need for action.
Loneliness has a severe impact on depression and suicide. Rural states like Alaska, Wyoming and Montana recorded the highest suicide rates in 2016. Feelings of helplessness are accentuated when your support group is physically farther away and more difficult to reach. If you find yourself alone, a phone call or text conversation can help you get through the worst times. Involving oneself in social events can bring joy to your life as well, pulling you out of rock bottom.
Pay attention to the words and actions of your loved ones and others in your life. Negative body language or feelings of hopelessness are warning signs. Changes in personality or mood may also be an indicator of suicidal thoughts or actions. Being attentive and noticing any abnormal activity can be the difference between life and death. Most people are willing to discuss their problems with those in their support group; it's your responsibility to make sure your loved ones have your support if they need it.
If someone you know exhibits any of these warning signs, you should do everything you can to help. Ask your loved ones how life is and listen to what they are telling you. Talking can be therapeutic and is a simple way to solve life's issues. If their words or actions are potentially life threatening, involve professional help as soon as possible. While waiting for help to arrive, make sure someone stays with that person at all times. Any wasted time or hesitancy can end in tragedy.
If you are feeling depressed or having suicidal thoughts, there are ways for you to seek help to save your own life. Obviously, professional help such as psychologists and other medical professionals are the safest way to help yourself. Suicide hotlines are another option if those close to you are unavailable in your times of need. As stated above, talking is therapeutic and speaking to a stranger over the phone may be easier. These individuals are professionals on call that want to help you get through the worst times. They can even walk you through the steps to find help and stop you from hurting yourself.
An under-appreciated impact of suicide is the effect it has on the people around you. Family and friends may blame themselves for not doing enough or being a contributing factor to suicide. The people that find suicide victims will be scarred by that event for the rest of their lives. These additional effects emphasize how important finding help is. Suicide will end one person's life while irreparably damaging the lives of numerous other people in the process.
Anthony Bourdain's suicide was a shocking tragedy. He impacted people in many walks of life who could not understand the simply question of 'why'. If there is a positive to take from this story, it's that everyone is at risk. If a famous, successful person can commit suicide, anyone can feel similar negative feelings. Hopelessness, fear, and damaging life events can lead to depression and potentially suicidal thoughts. Reflecting on your own thoughts as well as those of the people in your life can save them. Suicide is a very real issue and must be taken seriously. Help yourself and others by listening and, if necessary, getting professional help. You are all loved and valued. Don't ever forget how important you are.

Henry, Himself Stewart O'Nan (2019)
Stewart O'Nan offers no rootin' tootin' action in this novel, no daring heroes, no grisly violence. Henry, Himself is a quiet, introspective portrait of a year in the life of Henry Maxwell, a retired engineer in his 70s who lives in Pittsburgh. If you're already yawning, stop that for a moment and read this review.
Somehow, novelist O'Nan is able to turn everyday events into drama that drives his narrative in a highly effective way. I haven't yet figured out how he does this. It could be the naturalistic dialogue. Henry's conversations with his wife of nearly fifty years, Emily, can be hilarious. The two have well-worn phrases that they toss back and forth, parrying each other's comments.
Maybe the novel works because the hundreds of minor quotidian events are enlivened by actions beyond the edges of the main story, such as the troubled marriage of Margaret, Henry and Emily's alcoholic daughter.
It's also possible that I see my own life in O'Nan's prose because I'm in the same age range as Henry and Emily. But O'Nan is a decade younger, so I don't know how he's able to depict the attitudes and approaches of the elderly so astutely. He's simply a fine novelist.
So, what exactly does the character Henry do? He may be retired, but he certainly keeps busy every day, well beyond walking the dog. At his basement workbench he re-glues a kitchen drawer because he can't afford new cabinets. He makes innumerable trips to his local Home Depot store to buy supplies for his fix-it projects, and in his home office he keeps meticulous records of household expenses. Despite his multiple health challenges (which he manages with an array of prescription medications), he golfs with his old pals, trading barbs in camaraderie. Henry's beloved wife Emily is always in the picture also, and he takes pains to please her with dinner dates for Valentine's Day and Mothers' Day. The two of them escape Pittsburgh in the summer for Chautauqua, New York, where they meet up with their children and grandchildren at their lakefront house.
In the midst of these ordinary activities, Henry mentally retraces significant events of his past—a passionate but doomed youthful love affair, his searing combat experience in World War II, his fulfilling career in aeronautics. His companionable marriage to Emily anchors him even as he is baffled by the animosity between Emily and the wife of their son. The unhappy life of daughter Margaret comes to Henry's mind frequently, as he assesses whether he has failed her as a father. He muses, "Late in life, after his mother had died, his father cried at baptisms and funerals and sappy movies on TV, age stripping away a final protective layer. Now Henry could feel the same softening taking place inside him, a helpless grief for the past and boundless pity for the world, and that was right too. No fool like an old fool." (72)
You can get more of the Maxwell family in two other O'Nan novels that I also highly recommend: Wish You Were Here (published 2002) and Emily, Alone (published 2011). Both are set after Henry, Himself, which makes Henry, Himself a prequel. I can also vouch for two stand-alone O'Nan novels that probe interpersonal relations in a warmhearted way: Last Night at the Lobster and The Odds. Be aware, however, that O'Nan has also written terrifying thrillers that I have stayed far away from!
For other novels about Rust Belt places like Pittsburgh, check out Anne Tyler (Baltimore), Richard Russo (upstate New York), and Leif Enger (northern Minnesota). For other introspective novels, try Kent Haruf or James Wood or Bernard MacLaverty. You can click the links for my reviews.
