AUTHOR INFORMATION: Benedict Jacka first thought of becoming a writer when at the age of eighteen he started writing a story in his school library. Since then he's graduated with a B.A. in philosophy from Cambridge, lived in China, and worked in various different occupations such as civil servant, bouncer and teacher before returning to London to study law. He's also taken part in competitive ballroom dancing and martial arts. He currently lives in London.
OFFICIAL BLURB: Alex Verus is a diviner, able to see the future. This is impressive to most people but less so to other mages, who can do things like throw fire, disintegrate things, and fly. Right now Alex has a problem – a site's been discovered containing an ancient and powerful relic, and lots of people are looking for a diviner to open it, including a trio of dark mages, a faction of the Council with an agenda of their own, and a shadowy figure out of Alex's past, all of whom are looking to recruit, press-gang, or kill Alex, not necessarily in that order.
As if that's not enough, Alex has to take care of his would-be apprentice, who has some connection to the relic which is making her a target as well . . . and who also just happens to carry a curse that'll kill anyone who gets too close, assuming the mages hunting her don't do it first. His allies are an air elemental with the memory of a goldfish and a creature living under Hampstead Heath that would make most people run screaming.
Sometimes seeing the future isn't as fun as it sounds...
FORMAT/INFO: Fated is 295 pages long, divided over fifteen chapters. Narration is in the first-person solely via Alex Verus. Fated is the first book in the Alex Verus series.
February 28, 2012 marked the North American paperback and e-book publication of Fated via ACE books. The UK version was released in both paperback and e-book format on March 1, 2012 via Orbit.
ANALYSIS: Benedict Jacka's debut has received quite some hype before its release and a blurb from Jim Butcher (coming from JB, this was something special as he currently blurbs biennially). All things considered this results in tremendous expectation to arise for a debut book. Anne Sowards also had mentioned Fated as one of the books to look out for in 2012 in her FBC interview. All things considered, I was very curious to see how the book would turn out to be.
Fated begins us with Alex Verus who is sitting in his magic charms shop called "Arcana Emporium" and divining the near future as that is his power. He receives a phone call from Luna who requests his help and after a quick divination, he decides to meet her. On his way however an old acquaintance comes to meet him to offer him a job of sorts wherein his divining powers are a requirement. The job offer pisses Alex off and he soon continues on his way to meet Luna. That's when things start getting hairier as readers are given a clue about Luna's unique problem and the thing she's carrying. The actual plot begins and the readers are immersed into the world of Alex Verus wherein fate might not play that strong a role as it usually does.
The good part about this debut is that the story does its best to entrance the reader, beginning from its strong prose to the narrator's distinct voice. The author unveils the story nicely and then doles out the world details very conveniently. The story is a straight forward one which though like most urban fantasies has a central mystery plot which slowly unfolds over the course of the book. The mystery aspect is a decent one and deals with a recovery of a certain object which requires the aid of divination magic. The overall prose is something which truly is the silver lining aspect of this story, here's an example:
"In my little corner of the city, things aren't so bad. So if there's something you need help with, drop by the Arcana Emporium. Its easy enough to find of you try. You probably won't take it seriously at first, but that's okay. Seeing is believing, after all!"
The author very admirably showcases the world of the protagonist and his reticence to return to the world of magic of which he was a part of. The protagonist's thoughts and views are nicely laid about for the reader to empathize with and with the first person narrative, the reader is thoroughly immersed in the character's mind. The author in his lackadaisical way does conveys the protagonist's weariness, the main character does have a sordid past which is only hinted at and has lead to certain situation in his present life. One of the many mysteries of this series is that the main character's name is not his true one and that certainly adds an extra veneer of mystery to this tale. The action sequences are also decently paced through out the story and the climax of the story has quite a thriller feel to it and kudos to the author for delivering such a strong, action-packed finale.
Of the many things that were good about this book, there were a few which worked against it. On reading it, I'm a bit perplexed. On one hand this is a good debut with definite series potential however comparisons to Dresden files and expectations might sour the read for many a fan. I found quite a few similarities with the Dresden files namely:
(1) A solo protagonist who has a troubled and secretive past
(2) The presence of a magical organization from which the protagonist is estranged
(3) The protagonist's dogged persistence which happens to save the day
(4) The protagonist's magical ability which isn't on par with the bad guy's power but yet he never gives up
(5) The protagonist has his side character cast which goes on to help in many a way
These similarities while being common with many a book, are quite evident in this story, while in the Dresden files the humor quotient is significantly present. That is not the case with this book as the humor level is quite shallow. I felt that while I was reading a good story, it really didn't do much to differentiate itself as a spectacular one. The story and settings are developed just to an appropriate level however it isn't done to a level which will make it stand out. Thus overall the debut does a good job but it will have to do a lot more to separate itself from the UF gold standard series that is the Dresden Files. I'll definitely be picking up the next two books in the series Taken and Cursed to see where the author takes the story & protagonist.
CONCLUSION: Benedict Jacka's debut is a good one and it remains to be seen how the series will progress. Most veteran urban fantasy readers will not find anything new over here and the author will have to do a lot more to differentiate himself and his work amidst the crowded sub-genre. Fated is a debut which will have its fans and detractors alike and now its up to the author to increase the former numbers by curbing the deficiencies in his debut.

I was always under the impression Harry Dresden was one of the strongest, pure power potential/brute force, wizard in the Dresden universe. Probably not on par with some of the council, Merlin namely, but very much on par with most of what he has to face. This could easily be wrong since it has been a good bit since I read through the books.

Hi Anon.
That's true but that's Harry in the latter half of the series, when Harry begins he's often fighting against forces ten times more powerful than him.

Dementia in Senior Dogs: 6 Ways to Deal With the Effects
Published on March 13, 2012
Confusion, disorientation, dogzheimers. Call it what you will, but canine dementia (known clinically as canine cognitive dysfunction) can be a serious problem.
Just like humans, dogs can suffer from many of the same symptoms:
- Sleep-wake cycle disturbances
- Generalized anxiety
- Lower threshold for aggression
- Decreased activity levels
- Inappropriate vocalization (howling, barking or whining)
- Repetitive behaviors (pacing)
- Elimination disorders
- Staring at walls
- Fewer social interactions
- Disorientation (getting "lost" in the house)
But getting old and loopy doesn't have to be as stressful as all that — not for dogs lucky enough to be cared for by owners willing to learn what it takes to mitigate the effects of dementia as they age.
Here's how, in six mostly simple steps:
1. Recognize Symptoms Early
The early signs of canine cognitive dysfunction can be subtle and difficult to detect. They can even be misinterpreted as "just getting old." However, early recognition and intervention are helpful. Owners should be on the lookout for mild versions of the symptoms listed above.
2. Pay Attention to Changes in Hearing and Vision
Sensory deficiencies, such as hearing and vision loss, can cause anxiety for some pets — and their owners. When pets lose these faculties, they can become disoriented far more easily. Simple things, like failing to hear an owner's call, can make daily life challenging for aging pets and their owners.
But many pets with hearing deficits can be trained to recognize hand signals, and pets with limited vision can often learn their way around, as long as furniture and other objects remain in the same place.
Although there's not much we can do about hearing loss in most cases, we have options for treating some diseases of the aging eye. Cataracts, for example, are super common and highly treatable. I personally recommend surgery for pets who have cataracts with or without dementia. But you should ask your vet if this is the best option for your dog.
3. Stick to a Strict Schedule
Adhering to a set schedule when it comes to feeding, walking, turning lights on and off, and bedtime can be excellent therapy for confused pets. It's orienting.
4. Manage Anxiety
Most dementia dogs display some degree of stress, especially when lost in the corner of a room or if they find themselves awake and alone in the middle of the night. Managing anxiety requires owners to know what works best for their individual dog, such as soothing music, aromatherapy or a long walk.
Additionally, I also recommend crate training early on in life, which can sometimes help curtail stress-exacerbating nighttime wanderings. Although, in some cases, it could cause further stress to the animal. If the wandering is extreme, talk to your vet about whether anti-anxiety medication may also be effective.
5. Talk to Your Vet About Dementia-Specific Drugs
For severe cases of canine dementia, veterinarians will sometimes discuss the potential benefits of dementia-specific medication that seem to reverse some of these symptoms, albeit to a minor extent for most patients.
6. Look Into a Veterinary Behaviorist
The most comprehensive approach to canine cognitive dysfunction involves the assistance of a veterinary behaviorist. These specialists can often help owners dramatically re-orient their confused and stressed-out geriatric pets.

You have just adopted a little Kanni puppy and it's happiness in your family! But now, you have to take it seriously and, to begin with, you have to feed your Kanni puppy properly….
First of all, know that feeding your puppy well means giving him all the chances he needs to grow well, develop a good muscle structure and a good osseous structure.
But it is also an essential element if you don't want your puppy to become obese or have transit or digestive problems… in short, it's simply an essential point for his health.
This article will help you choose the best food for your Kanni puppy : BARF, domestic food or dry dog food?
How to feed a Kanni puppy?
Generally, a Kanni puppy is completely free of his mother's milk around 8 weeks of age. So we're going to consider that when you adopt it, it's completely weaned.
First of all, you're not going to suddenly change the puppy's diet. So you need to talk to the former owner or breeder about how to do the first few weeks. And if the breeder used to give him some kibbles and you want to change, you will have to do it very gradually. Over two weeks or more, you can introduce and mix the new food with the old ones a little more every day.
You will have to feed your Kanni puppy several meals:
- 3 to 4 meals a day for animals aged 2 to 6 months,
- then 2 meals a day for up to one year (and for some Kanni you can continue in this way even adult) in order to avoid any risk of torsion dilation of the stomach.
For rations, it will be necessary to adapt them according to his age, race, weight, lifestyle…
Remember to control your puppy's growth. Indeed, as soon as it has reached 90% of its final weight, it will be necessary to switch to an "Kanni adult" diet.
Nutritional needs of Kanni puppies
Whatever his breed or weight, your puppy's food should be well balanced and rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to help him grow well.
Here are the main nutrients your Kanni puppy will need:
- Proteins are essential for the development of tissues, organs, muscles… They also help to prevent illnesses. The proteins must be of high quality and represent more than 25% of the ration.
- Glucids also make a significant contribution to your Kanni puppy's healthy growth. They are mainly found in cereals.
- Essential fatty acids are important for the development of the nervous and immune system. They should be preferred as a source of energy rather than carbohydrates. Indeed, essential fatty acids are easily digestible and provide vitamin.
- Calcium of course for bones, vitamins….
But to be sure to give everything your Kanni puppy will need, several questions must be asked:
- Which form of diet to choose?
- Which one will be the healthiest, most balanced and most suitable for my puppy?
- What type of meal to prepare: raw meat (BARF), hand made meals (household food) or croquettes (dry dog food)?
We will help you see more clearly what the 3 types of meals are and determine the best diet for your Kanni puppy.
Best diet for puppies Kanni – BARF diet
The BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) diet consists in giving your Kanni a diet mainly composed of raw meat and supplemented with pasta, rice, vegetables… It would be an appropriate and good diet for puppies but only if it is well composed and properly administered.
Advantages of BARF food for Kanni puppies
Whether puppy or adult, a Kanni remains a carnivore and therefore is made to eat meat. A puppy, of respectable size, must grow slowly to allow him to properly form his bones, ligaments and muscles. With a natural diet based on raw meat and vegetables, the puppy has a quality food.
The BARF program recommends a daily ration of 6 to 8% of the puppy's weight given in 3 or 4 meals for Kanni up to 6 months.
Disadvantages of BARF food for Kanni puppies
The BARF diet is not without risk because by ingesting raw meat, puppies can have problems with obstruction and even choking. They can also suffer from bacteriological problems if the quality of the meat is not perfect. As a result, your Kanni may develop salmonellosis or other poisonings…
In addition, this type of diet is complicated to adapt to your puppy's specific nutritional needs. Indeed, the balance is difficult to find according to age, behaviour (active, father, overweight…), type of meat (fat, lean, red, poultry) and dosage of supplements….
Other problems with this type of diet for your Kanni are price, supply, storage and time-consuming meal preparation…
To conclude on the BARF diet for Kanni puppies, remember that it takes time and money to give your Kanni BARF feeding. Moreover, in the end, this type of diet will always be more risky in terms of health.
Best diet for puppies Kanni – Homemade food
It is a diet composed of foods from our own human diet (meat, vegetables, fish…). These can be meals you are going to prepare for your Kanni with products you will have in your fridge or the rest of your daily meals….
Advantages of homemade food for Kanni puppies
Because of its great diversity, this diet can be healthy and adapted to your puppy's needs. But only if the products are of good quality and the quantities are well calculated.
The main advantage is that you know exactly what your Kanni is eating.
To simplify, homemade meals should consist of one-third meat (or fish), one-third vegetables and one-third rice. And for vitamins, calcium and other minerals, you can add them with powder or tablet food supplements.
Here is a supplement that we recommend to complete this home made for a good growth of your Kanni:
Disadvantages of homemade food for Kanni puppies
If you decide to give your Kanni "leftovers" or homemade food, there is a high risk that you will not give the right quantity to your puppy. And so, he can quickly become obese and even very sick…
Moreover, the diet will certainly be varied but not necessarily balanced… and therefore will not meet the puppy's specific needs. It is very difficult to prepare "homemade" meals balanced with proteins, cereals, fatty acids, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals.
Finally, if you train your puppy to eat only your food, the risk is that he will not tolerate kibbles on the day you give it to him or when he is an adult. This can be embarrassing if you have to let him stay in a pension.
What about a mixed diet ( homemade food and kibbles)? It can be the ideal solution but will also be very complicated to equilibrate and ration….
Best diet for puppies Kanni – Dry dog food
This is the food that 80% of puppy owners choose for their pets. It is also the food recommended by breeders and veterinarians. Why is this diet so popular and widespread? Is it really the best diet for a Kanni puppy?
Advantages of dry food for Kanni puppies
Fast and simple meals
Because we don't always have time or desire to prepare a real meal every day with meat, vegetables, cereals… for our Kanni. The kibbles are perfect because all you have to do is to dose the portion and put it in the bowl and the meal is ready! This is the easiest and fastest solution.
Guarantee of the puppy's nutritional balance
Feeding your Kanni with kibble avoids making nutritional and quantitative mistakes. This type of food also guarantees a good sanitary quality (no germs, parasites…).
Easy storage
The kibble bags can be stored for a long time when they are not opened and therefore allow storage for several months without any problems.
Correct price
And finally, in terms of price, it is also the best choice since it would be the cheapest food of the three.
Disadvantages of dry food for Kanni puppies
You don't really know what the dry food is made with? Is there enough protein, nutrients? Don't they contain too much glucids, cereals…. In addition, according to several testimonies, they would make Kanni thirsty.
Why choose dry dog food to feed your young Kanni?
After comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the 3 possible feeds, it appears that kibble feeding is the best choice according to a large majority of opinions.
It is the only type of food that combines the practical, fast, simple aspect with the rationing, nutritional balance and quality constraints essential for your puppy to be in good health and in good shape.
The 3 best Kanni puppy dry food
I encourage you to read the following article in our blog: the best dry food for Kanni. This article summarizes comparative studies, opinions of Kanni owners and recommendations of veterinarians to highlight the best brands on the market.
Here are the 3 best products selected from the best brands of puppy food and according to the comments of the owners of Kanni:

If you are just getting started in the home buying process, you have probably come across several different types of mortgage loans as you have researched your options. Two of the most common home loan types are conventional and FHA mortgages. What are the differences between them and when does each make the most sense?
FHA Loans
FHA, or Federal Housing Administration, loans are a government-insurance program that makes it easier for Americans without great credit or large down payments to become homeowners. When a borrower is approved for an FHA loan with an approved lender, the federal government - through the FHA - insures the lender against losses associated with that loan. This program is especially popular with first-time homebuyers.
Conventional Mortgages
A conventional loan is a traditional loan, typically requiring higher down payments and better credit scores. If borrowers do not provide a full 20% down payment, they must take on private mortgage insurance to reduce the lenders' risk of loss.
The Comparison
Down Payments - Conventional loans will require down payments of anywhere from 5% to 20% while FHA mortgages will permit down payments as low as 3.5%.
Credit Scores - In order to qualify for a conventional mortgage, most borrowers must have a FICO score of at least 620 but FHA borrowers can have scores as low as 580.
Interest Rates - Mortgage interest rates will generally be slightly higher on a conventional than an FHA loan but the difference in rate is not usually enough to make a huge impact.
Insurance - For either type of mortgage, if the borrower does not put down a full 20%, monthly mortgage insurance will be required. The way insurance operates for each is different though. For conventional loans, borrowers will pay a monthly private mortgage insurance (PMI) until their equity reaches 20% of the loan value. For FHA loans, borrowers must pay a 1.75% upfront mortgage insurance premium at closing, no matter how large the down payment. The borrower must also continue to pay monthly insurance premiums for the entire life of the loan if the down payment is less than 10%. If the down payment was more than that, the mortgage insurance can be canceled after 11 years.
Debt-to-Income Ratios - FHA loans are usually more available to those with higher debt-to-income ratios than are conventional loans. Lower debt is still always better for best loan terms though.
Red Tape - There are generally more restrictions associated with FHA loans than conventional. FHA loans require borrowers to occupy the purchased properties, meet certain property standards, and come in under specific loan limits.
An FHA mortgage may be best for you if you don't have a large down payment, have a lower credit score, or if you do not plan to stay in the home for more than a few years. Otherwise, a conventional loan may save you the most money in the long run. A mortgage professional can help you sort out which is the best choice in your situation.

9ct Yellow Gold Light Weight Flat Court 4mm Wedding Ring

Every diamond at Wongs is unique. Each reflects the story of its wonderous journey from deep inside the earth to a cherished object of adornment. Yet all diamonds share certain features that allow us to compare their beauty.
These features are called the 4Cs - Cut, Clarity, Colour and Carat.
Whatever the cut you choose, your Wongs diamond is sure to be dazzling. Our expert team hand select only the finest of stones to be mounted in our beautiful jewellery. Starting with the rough diamond, they will decide how to cut and polish it to create the most beautiful stone, ensuring perfect balance and symmetry of all of the facets. Only diamonds with these perfect proportions and accuracy are chosen to ensure your diamond is truly dazzling.
The quality of the cut is most important to ensure your Wongs diamond captures and refracts the light in the most sensational way, creating optimum sparkle and everlasting love.
Because diamonds form under tremendous heat and pressure, it is extremely rare to find a diamond that lacks any internal and external characteristics. These characteristics are a by-product of its formation and help gemmologists separate natural diamonds from synthetics and simulants, and identify individual stones.
Here at Wongs, our diamonds are hand-selected to be visually perfect to the naked eye. Any 'inclusions' in our diamonds are barely visible even at ten times magnification.
At Wongs, our expert team only hand select exceptional diamonds in the colourless range (D-F) which are often referred to as 'exceptional' or 'rare' white.
This pure colour is something everyone can spot – a flash of light quite sensational, appearing beautifully bright and white. Diamonds are graded from 'D' (colourless) to 'Z' (tinted). No one knows what happened to A,B,C, some say they started the scale at 'D' for 'Diamond'. Colour grades are determined by comparing each diamond to a master set. Each letter grade represents a range of colour and is a measure of how noticeable the colour is.
Carats are the measure of weight in a stone, not size as is often perceived. In this instance, putting weight on can be viewed favourably, however 'small and perfectly formed' is also a great approach.
At Wongs, we believe a better quality of diamond is always the best choice, regardless of the weight. In all of our engagement rings, we engrave the diamond weight inside the shank for guarantee and reference.
There is no other gemstone quite like a diamond. It is found in the most remote places on earth, and the fact that it forms at all is something of a miracle. A diamond is a testament of endurance and strength – and not surprisingly, the ultimate symbol of love!
At Wongs, we are passionate about diamonds. Each and every diamond has been hand-selected by our expert team for its unique qualities.
So, you're going to propose…you're pretty sure you'll get a big YES! But, how do you know what size ring to buy?
Firstly, ask friends and family as they'll be happy to try and help out. If your partner has a ring they wear which you could 'borrow', bring it in to our lovely city centre store and the team can get an idea of size from this.
If this is not an option, we can size the ring to an average finger size. You pop the question and then bring your new fiancé/fiancée into store for a free ring sizing. We can normally do this within an hour too, so you can enjoy browsing around the store, telling us all about the proposal and even catch a glimpse of some matching wedding rings.
But first, time for some nice chilled prosecco – Congratulations, you did a great job!
We offer a free re-size on all Wongs rings. Usually, this can be completed in store within an hour. However, if going up by several sizes we may recommend re-making the ring to ensure full security of any shoulder stones.
Please note fully set diamond eternity bands cannot be resized, so must be made in the correct finger size.
Our standard necklaces, 46cm (18 inch) are our most popular style. They sit just below the neck with a pendant attached.
We are happy to provide a different length chain on request, this may incur additional charges. Please contact the store for more information – 0151 236 1552 or firstname.lastname@example.com

The Kimberley Process, introduced in 2003 is now law in all EU countries and in around 40 other countries worldwide and is working to regulate the flow of rough diamonds and to exclude conflict diamonds from the supply chain. 'Rough' is the term used to describe diamonds as they come out of the ground before they have been cut and polished. This global system is backed by governments, the UN and various NGOs. It effectively manages and certifies the international trade in 'rough' diamonds.
The Kimberley Process is supported by a code of conduct introduced by the World Diamond Council which requires traders in cut and polished diamonds to warrant that the diamonds have come from legitimate sources not involved in funding conflict.
At Wongs, we deal only with reputable suppliers who we know and trust, non of whom deal with conflict diamonds. All of our diamonds are purchased from legitimate sources, that are not involved in funding conflict and in compliance with United Nations Resolutions.
