Thinking back not in displeasure, but rather with wry entertainment, lament and a major, fat joint primed and ready, hero David Crosby considers his life, profession and numerous high occasions in narrative David Crosby: Remember My Name. Proofreader and short-movie producer A.J. Eaton makes his component coordinating presentation here and is heard all through as an off-camera questioner, pushing Crosby along to recollect the past, alternating as a questioner with onetime shake writer turned movie chief Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous), who likewise delivers the film.
The outcome is a contacting, sentimentality injected representation that is pervaded with warmth for its horny, ornery yet reliably magnetic subject. But, surprisingly, it never appears to be groveling or hagiographic. Rather, Crosby and his questioners team up to make something that feels legitimate and shrewd about a capable fella who hit the 1960s-'70s Los Angeles music scene exactly when the city, and his Laurel Canyon neighborhood specifically, turned into the coolest place on Earth for some time.
An enthusiasm for Crosby's music and position in history as either a performance craftsman or an individual from The Byrds, Crosby, Stills and Nash (and later Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young) would improve the survey involvement yet is in no way, shape or form a necessity for passage. The doc's free-wheeling account style and rich crease of chronicle film settle on this a conceivable decision for constrained showy appropriation before it gets sustained definitely into the ravenous neck of some internet steaming behemoth.
Conceived in the mid 1940s to a cherishing mother and a far off dad, DP Floyd Crosby — who won one of the principal cinematography Academy Awards for Tabu (1931) and furthermore shot High Noon (1952) — David Crosby was attracted to jazz and popular music since the beginning, and relates how he wound up normally singing congruity with records by the Everly Brothers. Eaton and Crowe freshly control Crosby through a record of his days as a sprouting hero in the L.A. scene, making hits with The Byrds, which prompted spending time with The Beatles and so forth. The creator of an all around respected collection of memoirs, Crosby regularly shows here a skill for distinctive expression making, for instance while depicting himself in this period as "youthful, presumptuous, splendid, exceptionally innovative … and a rear to my dick."
On that take note of, a significant lump of screen time is spent regarding the matter of Crosby's many relationships with many, various ladies, the greater part of whom he admits to having harmed sincerely and additionally physically also by illustration them into medication misuse. The loss of one adore, Christine Hinton, who kicked the bucket in a pile up at age 21, unmistakably cuts him profoundly still, perhaps on the grounds that the injury was intensified by his distinguishing her body, an affair he admits he never truly recuperated from. Then again, he has for the most part affectionate memories of his furious association with vocalist lyricist Joni Mitchell, of whom he talks with extraordinary profound respect, regardless of whether he compares experiencing passionate feelings for her to "falling into a concrete blender." The minute she dumped him by playing him a melody she'd quite recently expounded on him obviously stings still, despite the fact that a specific twinkle in his eye recommends he's a bit complimented to be subsequently memorialized.
Crosby's dispassionate relationships with his bandmates, especially Stephen Stills, Graham Nash (who Mitchell took up with for a period) and Neil Young, figures here with equivalent significance. These organizations seemingly kept going longer than any of Crosby's sentimental connections, and have been no less turbulent. Crosby looks truly penitent to report that none of them are addressing him any more in view of destructive things he stated, and it would appear he will cop to the a lot of the fault. However, mirroring the eager curiosity that has been a sign of his profession, he keeps on investigating new roads in music with youthful new partners, as of late winning the absolute best surveys of his vocation.
Given that is the situation, it's a disgrace the film doesn't dispense somewhat more time to examine the melodic quick and dirty of Crosby's work, for example, the "bizarre tunings" he insinuates that he created as ahead of schedule as his days with The Byrds and which make his sound so unmistakable. It's a hole that is felt in very numerous documentaries about performers nowadays, as though movie producers are frightened of alarming away watchers with an excess of specialized discussion about scales and time marks.
In any case, there's ostensibly a noteworthy lump of the group of onlookers who need to hear increasingly about this specific subject and less about the anticipated and tragically very same-y accounts of servility brought about by medications and drink. On this subject, Crosby is again genuinely expressive: "Dependence takes you over like fire assumes control over a consuming building," he sees at a certain point. However it's a similar old miserable story as it were, much the same as the one we heard in docs about Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston or Nina Simone as of late. The main distinction here is that Crosby really wound up in prison because of his addictions, endure and is here now to tell the story.

The national podcast "Leading Voices in Real Estate", produced by Matt Slepin, Founder and Managing Partner of Terra Search Partners, released today its new episode with legendary developer-owner Gerald Hines, who built his company on a foundation of outstanding architecture and a focus on quality and integrity. Our discussion follows him from Gary, Indiana to Houston and onto the world stage, as he became one of the most renowned names in global real estate.

Gerald Hines demonstrates a high-concept in real estate about stretching to do the best work possible — with great teams, commensurate confidence and measured risk. After leaving the military, a friend asked him to build a 5,000 square-foot building. Some start. His namesake company now has a presence in 24 countries and manages over $110 billion. He's hired top architects to do iconic projects from Pennzoil Place and The Galleria in Houston, to New York City's Lipstick building and the Marche St. Germain in France.

He explains the seminal move by Camden in innovating rent optimization software, how they've built a Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For, and how they keep a sprawling organization humming.
Sam Zell
Chairman, Equity International

When Tesco was exposed for its long payment delays, it exposed an ugly trend among large businesses: delay, delay and delay some more, until your supplier is on its knees. And while the supermarket provided an extreme example of this unethical practice, a shockingly large percentage of global businesses see late payment to suppliers as a "fact of life".
We recently wrote about a large fraud case involving at least six connected companies. Each of these companies used false accounts, identity theft and fake documents to achieve large amounts of credit. When the goods arrived, they immediately vanished, but they were never paid for. The suppliers were left out of pocket, and the fraudsters disappeared with the proceeds.
Clearly, this was a very large and highly organised fraud, and 6 companies known to be involved have been liquidated. This kind of operation is unusual, but increasing in prevalence and we suspect it will only get worse as more criminals start to hear about it.
The Insolvency Service has just completed an investigation into a network of fraudulent companies in the UK. The implications of this investigation should act as a cautionary tale for anyone that offers credit to their customers.
In this case, scammers used fake financial accounts to acquire goods on credit with suppliers, using fake details and false documents to elevate credit limits artificially. As the scam progressed, these companies acquired goods they had no intention of paying for and unwary suppliers continued to offer credit, because all of the companies looked profitable on paper.
The phrase 'no win, no fee' is screamed at you from a hundred adverts a day, usually in relation to personal injury claims, PPI mis-selling and so on, but it is also used in the context of no win, no fee debt collection - meaning you only pay commission to the b2b debt collection company if they are successful in recovering what you are owed.
It's worded all sorts of different ways, so you might also see 'no collection = no commission' on some ads, but it boils down to the same thing - if you don't win back your money from the debtor, then you have nothing to pay.
When you work with a company in the same country, you have a common legal framework that links you and its a relatively simple process to track down errant debtors if payment problems occur. Dealing with clients overseas is more hazardous, and the risks can catch out many small businesses. Here are some practical tips that can prevent significant problems when dealing with overseas clients.
Dealing with an Insolvent client can kill a profitable business. If your client becomes insolvent it will have a significant knock-on effect, that will impact on your company cashflow, leaving you as a creditor with unpaid invoices that will likely never be paid.
In 2015, more than 100,000 UK businesses found themselves as creditors to an insolvent business, and many will have found their cash flow at serious risk as a result. Any business, irrespective of size, is at risk if their client becomes insolvent but for freelancers and micro-businesses these risks are magnified.
Small businesses are extremely vulnerable to cash flow problems, and even the slightest slip in payment dates can leave the business unable to pay its suppliers and even staff salaries. In many cases, big suppliers don't pay their smaller suppliers quickly enough to keep the small businesses running, and as a result the small business finds it simply can't make ends meet.
News that one of the oldest agricultural firms in Lancashire has entered administration has been met with shock and dismay. Riley Brothers International Haulage Ltd, the most recent iteration of a company with a history stretching back more than a century, entered administration on the 18th of December 2015 with the loss of more than 130 jobs.
When you sign up a new customer or client, it's tempting to skip the formalities. New customers are always keen and it seems like nothing can go wrong. The last thing you want to do is sour the relationship, or risk losing a client to a competitor. If you ask for a deposit, are you at risk of scaring them away?
In truth, most businesses are used to paying deposits especially if they are dealing with freelancers or micro businesses, and there are plenty of good reasons that you should ask for one.
Most businesses have experienced the worry and inconvenience of a client that always pays late. Short of ditching the client (and we are perfectly comfortable with advocating that as a tactic), there's no rapid solution to the problem. But you can improve your chances of getting paid if you subtly change your credit control processes.
In this article we will explore a few easy ways to help you manage those 'tricky' clients and the excuses they use to delay payment beyong agreed credit terms.

Going Dutch: What to do, see and eat in Amsterdam
-Aug 15, Richard Omerod, Living -
There's no doubt that taking a holiday is essential for great health. With so many people facing stress due to work, sometimes all that is needed for a fresh perspective is a short weekend away in a new city.
More bicycles than people, some of the finest museums in the world, excellent food, hospitable locals – and just a 45-minute flight from London, the compact but beautifully formed Dutch capital is pretty hard to beat for a short break.
The Netherlands might be a small country but it's a heavyweight on the international stage.
It's one of the world's top 10 exporters, it's a thriving centre for commerce and manufacturing, its creative and cultural credentials are top-notch and it has led in areas as diverse as technology (birth place of the Tom Tom) to club music. Its history is long and fascinating – this was often a nation that preferred to make its own distinctive mark rather than follow in the footsteps of others. On the whole the Dutch are an engaging lot – pleasant, cheerful, pleased to help and delightfully laid-back.
Amsterdam is easy – easy to get to and easy to explore and with a chilled atmosphere. It also has almost everything you'd expect from a world class city. And in the past year one of its (and the world's) most important museums has been reborn after an extensive ten-year renovation.
The short hop across the North Sea from London is well served from Gatwick with regular flights offered by British Airways (www.ba.com) and EasyJet (easyjet.com) with fares from £80 return. From Schiphol airport the efficient train service takes 20 minutes, costs €4 and whisks you into the city's Central Station. Pop-up ticket counters on the station concourse at Schiphol dispense with queues (you see, easy).
Amsterdam is a compact city and most of the sights are within walking distance. Trams are a cheap way to get around but if you want to assume the guise of a local then take to two wheels. The bicycle is king and there are a lot of them! Pedestrians take note – the Dutch, usually a thoroughly relaxed bunch, can assume a most uncharacteristic irritation at the sight of a jay walking tourist (bicycle bells should be your warning).
For charm, cozyness and a perfect picture postcard setting within a row of 17th century buildings on the city's oldest major canal, the Hotel Estherea (estherea.nl) is a delight. Rooms cost from around £140 excluding breakfast. If your budget isn't quite so accommodating try citizenM Amsterdam (citizenM.com) with rooms from £70 or Park Hotel (parkhotel.nl) from £90.
New Amsterdam Tours (newamsterdamtours.com) offers free, three-hour walking tours of the city. Yes, we did say "free" – just tip as much as you feel it's worth. And don't be a meanie because these are a great introduction. And, if by any chance, a guide called Geert is working when you're in town he is seriously worth checking out – a sort of historian/insider/stand-up comedian combo!
Amsterdam has more canals than Venice but avoid one of the throng of tourist boats and opt instead for Friendship (friendshipamsterdam.com), a little known (as yet) one hour cruise aboard lovely open topped barges with charming crews and big cushions on which to laze and take in the surroundings. It's a snip as well at €15 including a beer, glass of wine or soft drink or €25 to upgrade to a glass of Moët & Chandon.
Aside from being a remarkable teenager hiding in an Amsterdam building for two years during Nazi occupation, Anne Frank is, of course, famous for her diary and as someone who put a human face to the horrors and unfathomable extent of the Holocaust. That house (annefrank.org) is possibly the defining tourist attraction of the city and makes for a poignant experience. The queues can be horrendous so book in advance or go late in the day.
The Dutch have certainly made their mark on the art world over the centuries – take Vermeer, Van Gogh and Rembrandt for starters. The Rijksmuseum (rijksmuseum.nl) is the national museum dedicated to art and history and it's also one of the most important in the world. In April 2013, the main building was reopened after a ten-year renovation costing a reported €375 million. The Van Gogh Museum (vangoghmuseum.nl) houses the largest collection of works by the celebrated artist (and some of his contemporaries) who, remarkably, sold just one painting during his lifetime.
Yes, there is a difference. It's the latter if you're after a tall skinny latte and blueberry muffin, while if you opt for the former you'll no doubt be enticed by the prospect of a little "smoke" or a slice of cake you're not going to find in Starbucks! Contrary to popular belief, cannabis isn't legal in the Netherlands but the Dutch middle name is "tolerance" and, hey, it brings in the business.
Trying to squeeze it all in and pushed for time? Then make for Vleminckx (off Het Spui on Kalverstraat), a little kiosk serving some of the best French fries you're likely to taste complete with an assortment of sauces. Go for one of the mayonnaise type for authenticity, or ketchup if you want to give yourself away as a tourist!
Cafés and bars in Amsterdam are wonderfully engaging and relaxing places. There are hundreds lining canals, back streets and quirky neighbourhoods and are great for grabbing a drink, watching local life glide by or striking up a conversation with an Amsterdammer who, of course, mostly speak impeccable English.
The area known as "The Nine Streets" (theninestreets.com) centred around the canals of Singel, Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht is utterly delightful. Hardly a multinational chain to be found, it's full of designer boutiques, quirky retailers, cheese shops and inviting bars and cafes.
Finding good food is no chore in Amsterdam. In fact the choice is so great it's hard to narrow down the recommendations but try de Struisvogel (Keizersgracht 312; restaurantdestruisvogel.nl) which occupies a charming basement and offers a simple but seriously good three-course set menu (€26). And it's worth the taxi journey out of the city for De Kas (restaurantdekas.nl) with its stunning setting in an old greenhouse and menus created using only the best seasonal produce.
Skip the Heineken tour which is very much a "corporate" experience and go in search of something more authentic, such as Brouwerij 't IJ (brouwerijhetij.nl) – a brewery located next to a windmill on the east side of the city. It can be toured Friday through Sunday (check website for times).
Despite its huge and diverse treasures, most people's default thought setting when it comes to this city is sex and drugs. The Red Light District has a fascinating past linked to the mistresses of Catholic churchmen and, later, sailors on shore leave who were greeted by working ladies bearing red lanterns. In 1988 the Netherlands declared prostitution a legal profession, thus dispensing with pimps and making the working girls officially self-employed and, therefore, taxable! It's perfectly safe to wander the area although maybe not with a minor or maiden aunt.

Folly & the Hunter 'Tragic Care' (album stream)
Published Apr 08, 2013Folly & the Hunter recently became the latest addition to Outside Music's roster, and now the Montreal folk-leaning trio are ready to drop their first album for their new label with Tragic Care. Before this sophomore album's April 16 release date, you can stream the whole thing on Exclaim.ca.
These 10 tracks were laid down at Montreal's Breakglass Studios with Jace Lasek (of the Besnard Lakes) and Dave Smith. The album mixes folk influences with atmospheric elements, meaning that its sound is by no means confined to one genre.
"Watch for Deer at Dawn" begins the collection with subtly climatic, piano-tinkling drama, while the echoing acoustics of "Moth in the Porch Light" resemble a folk song recorded in outer space, and the second half of "Mask" is filled with churning background noise.
Outside boss Evan Newman said in a statement, "Jace from the Besnard Lakes referred them to Outside Music and upon first listen, I knew this was a special record and immediately flew to Montreal to meet them. It's rare that a band like this comes along and we're over the moon to have them on the label."
Take a listen to the expansive Tragic Care below.
As previously reported, Folly & the Hunter will be heading out on a Canadian tour with Aidan Knight. See the tour dates here.

Alright so maybe I'm a little cheeky for making the first "Evolved Gamers Online" article about a game with "Evolved" in it but it's been a crazy week for gaming (GamesCom just passed) and I'm feeling…cheeky!
Recommended by TEST Squadron
The first thing I noticed on the Steam page for ARK: Survival Evolved is that my buddies from TEST Squadron recommended it. Now I respect the TEST Squadron leadership and their opinion. Hell, I was wearing the TEST Gaming T-shirt yesterday, so I'm biased and proud.
I'm just a little concerned that someone has come to a quick judgment for the sake of generating quick content rather than authoring constructive criticism of the game.
Jump to Judgement
My most recent game is theHunter and it has been out for many years already. The point I want to make is that I will try anything, old, new, different and strange…especially strange! I like to think that I give everything fair chance.
Then I scrolled down! I kept scrolling and I kept seeing red Thumbs-Down. Alright so there was some green ones, the up ones and some of those were from people who manage to play for a whole TWO HOURS!
I spent the last two days just checking reviews and statistics as they changed. What I can see and you'll see it too. Most of the people who post thumbs-down have spent more hours in the game than the average hours spent by someone who posts a positive review. I cannot ignore that. I cannot consider spending over $50 (£49.99 here in the UK) on a game that is disliked by currently 32% of its buyer so soon after release.
Decreasing Positivity Percentage
While I typed this article the percentage of negative reviews increased to 33% and yesterday it was just over 20% I believe. This is a game that is crashing like a nerfed Pteranodon. No, I'm not going to say it's burning too because games don't need to make everybody happy. ARK Survival Evolved will profit and a loyal ARK following will find joy in the new title. Good for them and the developers.
Summary: Buy Later
Nothing should be taken seriously not even this post, I'm being serious! I scrolled down and seen a lot of thumbs-down by players who had spent 8 and 9 hours in the game on day one. It doesn't look good but gamers who are ready to buy a title for that price and instantly put a day of play into it. Well, they are probably keen gamers, with plenty experience and they'll have high expectations.
Maybe you can ignore reviews from players who might seem like they have AAA expectations in every expensive title and also the players who seek to rekindle the past enjoyment experienced in the original title when the whole style of game was new to them.
Then things might look differently and statistics become nothing but a gauge for the current attitude or trend. Buy later when the price decreases and you'll probably be among thousands of happy customers who rate the game positively because the value for money will increase.
This is why we must understand the nature of feedback, opinions, reviews, and the community. If we are going to read and take any notice of responses, especially Early Access ones. Do not forget your own taste in gaming and ignore a title completely is my ending advice.

Late Friday, Gov. Jerry Brown chose not to block a parole board's decision to release Sara Kruzan. At age seventeen, Kruzan received 25-to-life without the possibility of parole for killing her pimp—a man who began grooming her for child prostitution when she was just eleven years old.
The Associated Press has the story. Here's a clip:
Kruzan was 17 when she was sentenced to die in prison for the 1994 shooting death of George Gilbert Howard in a Riverside motel room. She contended that he sexually abused her and had groomed her since she was 11 to work for him as a child prostitute.
Her case became a high-profile example used by state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, who sought to soften harsh life sentences for juveniles.
"It is justice long overdue," Yee told the Los Angeles Times. He called Kruzan's case the "perfect example of adults who failed her, of society failing her. You had a predator who stalked her, raped her, forced her into prostitution, and there was no one around."
Kruzan's case garnered widespread publicity in 2010 after Human Rights Watch posted a six-minute interview with her on YouTube [above].
The year culminated with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger commuting her sentence to 25-years-to-life with the possibility of parole on his last full day in office. Schwarzenegger said he still considered her guilty of first-degree murder, but he sympathized with her defense that the man she killed had sexually abused her and served as her pimp for years.
"Given Ms. Kruzan's age at the time of the murder, and considering the significant abuse she suffered at his hands, I believe Ms. Kruzan's sentence is excessive," the governor wrote in his commutation message, "it is apparent that Ms. Kruzan suffered significant abuse starting at a vulnerable age."
This January, a Riverside judge further reduced her first-degree murder conviction to second degree, making her immediately eligible for release.
Last Tuesday, a Sonoma County deputy fatally shot thirteen-year-old Andy Lopez who was holding a pellet gun that the officer mistook for an assault rifle. This heartbreaking death is calling attention to failed a California bill that would have required replica guns like the one Andy was holding to be made of transparent or neon plastic. The bill, supported by LA Police Chief Charlie Beck, was defeated with help from the National Rifle Association and pellet and paintball gun vendors.
The Center for Public Integrity's Susan Ferriss has the story. Here's a clip:
The Santa Rosa Press Democrat newspaper has detailed emotional protests alleging excessive force by Sonoma County law enforcement after a sheriff's deputy on Tuesday fired at teenager Andy Lopez, killing him. Deputies came across the boy in his "wine country" community around 3:15 p.m. as he was walking down a road, on his way home, carrying a pellet gun fashioned to closely resemble an AK-47. The pellet gun belonged to a friend.
Taking cover behind vehicle doors, deputies told the boy, whose back was to them, to drop what they believed was a real gun. Andy began to turn toward them, according to law enforcement officials. A deputy reportedly thought the boy was raising the gun and fired. Andy was hit seven times, according to reports.
In 2012, the Center for Public Integrity reported on how pressure from retail stores and the National Rifle Association helped defeat a bill by Sen. Kevin de Leon, a Los Angeles Democrat, who came up with the proposal in response to similar police shootings of boys playing with replica guns.
The bill would have required replica guns like the one Andy was carrying be made with transparent bodies or in certain neon colors. The measure had the support of Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck, who invoked the tragic 2010 shooting of another 13-year-old boy who was paralyzed when L.A. police officers came upon boys playing with toy guns and ended up shooting one.
"Backers said the measure (de Leon's) was designed to try to prevent shootings of innocent young people by police officers who have to make split-second decisions," the Center's story said.
In a story last Wednesday on impending policy changes regarding the use of pepper spray on mentally ill prisoners in California, the LA Times' Paige St. John noted that California's senior prison psychiatrist Dr. John Lindgren testified in front of a federal judge that he thought mentally ill inmates would have no memory of being pepper sprayed and likely have a higher pain tolerance than other prisoners. (We linked to St. John's earlier story on the issue, here.)
On Sunday, the LA Times published several letters from readers outraged by the prison psychiatrists claims. Here is the first:
It is distressing to read a correctional psychiatrist's assertion that psychotic prisoners "would have no memory" of being repeatedly pepper-sprayed and "have a higher than average threshold for pain or noxious stimuli."
The claim that psychotic illness would prevent a person from remembering physical pain has no basis in science. Regarding pain thresholds, a growing body of literature documents post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms in psychotic people subjected to excessive force.
Since the defunding of public psychiatry in the 1980s, prisons have increasingly played a custodial role for people who are severely mentally ill. As a society, we have chosen to treat such people as criminals first and patients second. The results: huge bills, little healing and the brutality The Times describes.

Los Angeles
The state has begun the transfer of prisoners to private prison facilities in an effort to comply with a federal court order to reduce the prison population by about 9000 inmates before a now twice-extended deadline. (Backstory: here.)
(We are unclear on why there is a need to start moving prisoners this far in advance of the deadline and a decision on the part of the judges as to whether California will ultimately be given a three-year extension.)
Katie Orr has the story over on KPBS. Here's a small clip:
James Black, with the GEO group that operates the facilities said GEO's prisons must meet the same standards required for the state's Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
"All of our facilities are ACA accredited, American Correctional Association accredited. We still operate under the oversight of the entity that we are contracted with. So we still operate under, basically, CDCR oversight," Black said.
Black said California is paying GEO $60 per inmate per day. He expects all 2,100 transfers to be complete by the beginning of December. The inmates require medium-level security.
Jack Leonard of the LA Times has an interesting story about inmates falsely claiming homelessness to avoid home detention that is worth checking out. (We're looking into the issue ourselves, and will likely have something on the topic soon, so stay tuned.)

The Ladies of Horror
Time Waits for No Man
by Melissa R. Mendelson
The full moon slithered out from beneath the clouds. It stretched over the trees that still dripped with rain. Its gentle light kissed the ground, shadowing secrets better left buried, but still the digging continued. And the moon drew closer, curious of the shadows hunched in front of a car, but just as the body was found, another cloud came and ate the moon.
"I can't believe you killed him," one man whispered. "What were you thinking?"
"Shut up, and help me. We have to move him before the cops come," the other man snapped at him.
"I'm not getting involved with this."
"You're already involved, Marty, so pick up his fucking legs."
"Things were simpler when we were kids, Jones," Marty sighed and jumped down into the hole.
"Oh, Christ."
Standing in front of them was a naked girl. Her skin was pale, and her feet were dirty. Wet leaves stuck to her legs. Her arms shook as she covered her breasts, and her legs crossed together. She inched back, but it was too late.
"What do we have here," Jones whispered harshly against her ear.
"Jones, the cops."
"Oh, yeah. Guess we'll have to take her with us." He spun her around, pushing his body into hers, and he was surprised by her soft lips as she kissed him.
Marty's blood ran cold. The man now kissing the girl was as frail as a leaf, and his hair was a shocking white. When she finally released him, he sputtered and spat like a wild animal, and his face sagged down to the ground, pulling the flesh off in the process and revealing nothing but bone and empty eye sockets. And Marty screamed, but it was too late.
"What did you do to me," he cried, not recognizing his own voice. Then, he realized that she towered over him. His hands were small. His clothes hung over him like a tent, and the moon slipped out across a small pool of water. And he did not recognize the boy that stared back.
The girl disappeared, walking through the woods. Her face matured. Her hair grew long and straight. She shined in the moonlight before it disappeared, and when the moon appeared again, it found an old crane with silver hair. Then she crumpled to the ground, becoming nothing more than skin and bone, and a moment later, a child roamed.

A 'recalibrated' Belt and Road?
The second BARF — Belt and Road Forum — begins tomorrow in Beijing, two years after the first such gathering. It seems rather hastily put together, at least if the event's website is any guide. BARF's agenda page is still blank, and it's early morning in China on April 25 as I write this.
Here is a summary of media reports so far:
- "Eight more top politicians will attend the forum this year than the first one in 2017, bringing the total to 37, including two European Union members — Austria and Portugal," says Bloomberg (porous paywall). With Singapore and Thailand joining this year, all 10 ASEAN members are expected to attend.
- Last year, Poland, Spain, Sri Lanka, Fiji, Turkey, and Argentina attended, but will be absent this year. Why? Bloomberg cites consultancy Eurasia Group: "None of these countries have had a falling out with Beijing over BRI, but geopolitical concerns may have been a factor: Turkey and China have sparred over China's policy toward Uyghurs and Poland arrested two Huawei employees for spying in January."
- "China is expected to promote a recalibrated version of its Belt and Road initiative at a summit of heads of state this week in Beijing, seeking to allay criticism that its flagship infrastructure policy fuels indebtedness and lacks transparency," says Reuters.
- Green Belt and Road — reality or hype? China Dialogue looks at the environmental agenda for the upcoming summit, and what's really behind the "green Belt and Road" slogans.
- Foreign enthusiasm in the media today:
- In Italy, China's New Silk Road is not seen as a threat / DW
"There's no problem with the Chinese…They are very welcome with their money."
- NZ trade delegation seeks BRI dividend / China Daily
"New Zealand is 'one of the first Western countries to engage in the Belt and Road. We are looking forward to participating in the forum,' David Parker, New Zealand's minister for trade and export growth, told media in Guangzhou on Tuesday."
- Sheikh Mohammed arrives in China for Belt and Road initiative summit / Khaleej Times
"His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has arrived to Beijing."
- In Italy, China's New Silk Road is not seen as a threat / DW
- Love weird Belt and Road propaganda? You'll enjoy this video "about a durian called 'Little Thai' who thanks the Belt and Road Initiative for helping its 'durian brothers and sisters' get a smoother ride to China to be eaten in 'durian hot pot,'" as described by MacroPolo associate Neil Thomas.

In this series, Cone explores emergence as both subject and theme. In the artist's own words "each painting reveals a liminal moment for the figure: bound yet on the cusp of release; passing from obscurity to clarity; the exact moment when everything shifts." Cone seeks to convey "elusive and undefined emotional states" using moody colors in high contrast. Her figures are integrated into the planes of color, yet break free from their one-dimensional existence, playing on the tension between what is real and what is not.
Cone received her BFA degree in Painting from the University of Texas in 1998. She has since exhibited twenty solo shows and has participated in over a dozen group shows in the U.S. and in Europe. Cone's work was recently featured on PBS, and her work numerous art publications along with being featured on the front cover of American Art Collector Magazine and Southwest Art Magazine. The artist currently resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Meet the Redesigned 2019 Pilot
The redesigned and refreshed 2019 Honda Pilot has a long list of upgrades to Honda's award-winning 8-seat SUV. The numerous changes include more aggressive exterior styling, an available new hands-free power tailgate, substantial powertrain refinements, major upgrades to available connected-car technology, an available new Display Audio touchscreen system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, and a volume knob. The 2019 Pilot also adopts the Honda Sensing suite of advanced driver-assistive and safety technology as standard in all trims. The 2019 Pilot LX with standard front-wheel drive carries a starting Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP1 ) of $31,450 (excluding $995 destination and handling).
While all Pilot trim levels benefit from refreshed styling, technical upgrades and new features-including newly standard Honda Sensing-the popular EX trim extends its value story even further as it gains several premium features while maintaining the same price point as the outgoing EX w/ Honda Sensing trim.
Combined, the upgrades to Pilot reinforce its capabilities while emphasizing the state-of-the-art technology and family-friendly character that has made it one of the most popular midsize 3-row SUVs. Pilot also remains one of the few models in its segment to offer 8 seats (7-seats with the optional second-row Captain's Chairs), with three-person capacity in both the second and third rows, and with third row access made simple and easy by the available One-Touch Walk-In feature.
All 2019 Pilots feature more aggressive front and rear styling to compliment the Pilot's robust off-road and all-weather driving capabilities, supported by Honda's available intelligent Variable Torque Management system (i-VTM4) with true torque-vectoring. Standard on all AWD trims, i-VTM4 uses an electronically-controlled, hydraulically-actuated rear differential to apportion engine torque between the front and rear axles, and dynamically distribute torque between the left and right rear wheels. The benefits are superior all-weather handling, and neutral, accurate steering under power.
In addition, the 2019 Pilot's 9-speed automatic transmission, available in Touring and Elite trims, gets new tuning for enhanced drivability and smoother shifts, while Pilot's Idle Stop system now provides quicker restarts and more seamless operation.
For 2019, all Pilot models come standard with the Honda Sensing suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies. Honda Sensing helps provide greater awareness of driving conditions around the vehicle, and in some cases helps drivers maintain lane position. Comprising the Honda Sensing suite are Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) with Forward Collision Warning; Road Departure Mitigation (RDM); Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS); and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).
Honda's blind spot information system (BSI), previously available only on the Elite trim, is now standard on EX, EX-L and Touring trims as well. Additionally, Rear Cross Traffic Monitor has been expanded from the Touring and Elite trims to EX and EX-L.
In addition to the above, Pilot offers numerous other driver-assistive features, such as automatic high beams and a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera, both standard on all trims. The new Pilot was designed to provide a high level of active and passive safety protection and targets a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
To schedule a test drive of the new Pilot, please give us a call at (866) 822-9314. To shop our online inventory of Pilots, please click here.

I Finally Met The Guy I Want To Call My Husband But I'm Not Allowed To Marry Him
I Finally Met The Guy I Want To Call My Husband But I'm Not Allowed To Marry Him
I turned 28 this April. Until I started working, I never got into any relationships. I had my reasons to stay away from the whole plethora of emotions people usually go through while in a romantic relationship.
As soon as I started working, my parents asked me if I would like to get married and that if they can start searching for a prospective groom. I said "No. Please give me 2 years. I want to work for 2 years and meanwhile if I find a person who is compatible and willing to get married, I will let you know."
In a world where young girls have to fight against their own family to get basic education, I am happy to have parents who are so understanding.
But life had so many surprises to offer when I started working in a new city far away from home. First it was a crazy roommate who went berserk with the new found freedom. Then it was a short lived relationship with a guy whose priority was weed, friends and party. With family and good friends far away from home, I felt quite lonely and sad until I found the strength to start singing and dancing again. I picked up Bharatnatyam.
Life was getting better but it was ruined by a toxic relationship which was apparently a rebound. The day all hell broke loose was the day I decided to move to a city closer to home. By this time my 2 years' time had already passed and my parents were getting restless about my marriage. But thankfully I could buy some more time and I finally met the man I wanted to call my husband.
Little did I know that the caste I belonged to would create a huge issue. In a world where we as humans beings should be collectively helping innocent people who are dying in war waged by people in power, women who are fighting for basic human rights, little innocent children who are subjected to violence and assault, we have the audacity to create our own customized walls and segregate human race into sections based on all sorts of menial things.
This whole caste thing was built in an era where the king needed a system to manage his kingdom. Back then, people could change their professions and hence their castes. But over a period of time this whole thing has somehow turned into an 'honour' badge. While some feed their egos by feeling good about the higher rank they are born into, there are innocent children whose wings are cut off and spirits put down because of a tag they never asked for.
I still cannot dance or sing with all my heart even though I am good at it because of my first encounter with discrimination when I was only 12. That little kid didn't understand the complexities of society and this 28 year old has no choice but to let go of her love because of the tag she didn't even ask for.

Which Factors?
, , ,
NBER Working Paper No. 20682
Many recently proposed, seemingly different factor models are closely related. In spanning tests, the q-factor model largely subsumes the Fama-French (2015, 2018) 5-and 6-factor models, and the q5 model captures the Stambaugh-Yuan (2017) model. The Stambaugh-Yuan factors are sensitive to their construction, and once replicated via the standard approach, are close to the q-factors, with correlations of 0.8 and 0.84. Finally, it seems difficult to motivate the Fama-French 5-factor model from valuation theory, which predicts a positive relation between the expected investment and the expected return.

New nest spawn locations
kx-ll-Legion posted a topic in Be the ZombieI'm not sure if it's just me but I'm tired of going to the same nests each time to destroy them, they should at least add new areas of the map to put the nests at, so much of the maps old town especially have do much potential in areas they could put nests at

Btz Fixes In The Next Patch
kx-ll-Legion replied to Pete Donnelly's topic in Be the ZombieCan u please fix the matchmaking? I'm tired of never finding humans to invade, and I'm tired if waiting hours upon end of getting no hunters
No offense dude but you shouldn't run into a safezone or water in the first place if you have the horde or uv spit on you, kinda renders spits useless, just use flares and hop on roofs like everyone else
Dying Light: New Content Ideas, Gamemode Suggestions And Other Things That Should Already Exist
kx-ll-Legion replied to MyNameIsLegendEU's topic in General DiscussionsSo first off I would like to see a new zombie mutation, like a red black or white hunter mutation(night hunter Another thing I would like to see is new nest spawn locations, in invasions I'm tired of destroying the same nests over and over again, just make em spawn in new locations,that is all I have to say for now
BtZ Feedback Wanted: 03/21/2018
kx-ll-Legion replied to Pete Donnelly's topic in Be the ZombieI like 1v1s as both human and Hunter as they are fair, 3v1s and 4v1s need to have to spit recharge reduced, would appreciate if u could bring back the old xbow damage
As it needs to be it's a very frustrating glitch and although I have many friends who use it it is very annoying to be one inch rained all the time
It's called prepatch and everyone at this point knows about it, its getting annoying at this point, please techland fix this
Be The Zombie Balancing Update - 12/1/2018
kx-ll-Legion replied to James Gallagher's topic in Be the ZombieNo offense dude but the hunter is fine where it is because of spit regen, and insta tackle is technically still here, hunters don't even need insta tackle, I'm a hunter main and I could care less for it js

Zombie horde
kx-ll-Legion replied to Theflyingscot's topic in Be the ZombieWith the new update that is not really needed, I would recommend look at the nest you use bombers at, some nests spawn bombers more quickly then others, I've tested it before, nests near water seem to spawn bombers faster
Pvp needs to get fixed and balanced
kx-ll-Legion replied to Heavyhitter's topic in Be the ZombieTwo things yes the use of exploits are frustrating even tho I use some of them myself, but there is not a whole lot the devs can do about it, there is too many to patch , second just do 1v1s the human is more balanced with the hunter in 1v1s
Be The Zombie Balancing Update - 12/1/2018
kx-ll-Legion replied to James Gallagher's topic in Be the ZombieSo originally when this update came out i thought it was completely bogus and thought it was not needed. Now after playing both hunter and human equally ive learned how wrong i was. First off i love the 2v1 buff because animation abuse was a huge deal in 2v1s ie. you get dropkicked into a power slice/rain. Also in 4v1s and 3v1s there is no more dfa abuse(same for 2v1s 1v1s). Im enjoying human more than i ever had due to the fact of a challenge. What this update did is make it to where only good survivors are left. 1v1s are pretty much the easiest for human imo and i love it. Im big on 1v1s so this update is ushering a new age of humans that are amazing in 1v1s due to the fact they adapted to the update and not whine about it. Also due to the removal/nerf of auto balance people that do not deserve the win won't get it, j can't say enough how much I've hated autobalance, I would semi flawlessing a hunter the autobalance kicks in and they win, or when my hunter kills a human 6 lives on the first nest then the human can make a comeback because of autobalanc. All in all it means no more victories are being handed for kids that can't win without autobalance

Dive Brief:
- Teacher Beth Pandolpho writes for Edutopia that she wants her students to value the class book clubs she runs every school year, so she puts a few steps in motion each fall to help their success.
- To start, she asks her class to identify "quotations that transcend context and exemplify how fiction can reveal truth," she wrote, adding that she also selects books that either have a unique view of the world or are written by popular authors she thinks will resonate with her classroom.
- On book club meeting days, students complete targeted writing assignments as they talk about the book with each other.
Dive Insight:
Reading may seem like an individual activity, but in classrooms, pairing students together can bring measurable results in academic skills such as reading comprehension, along with softer skills such as social and emotional growth.
Creating class reading clubs require some work up front, but having students lead their own conversations can increase comprehension. Kelly Jo Bridge, in her doctoral dissertation for Hamline University's School of Education, noted that teachers who created "talk prompts," or questions that help students focus on what they're reading, helped boost understanding. For 2nd-grade students, "the use of talk prompts in book clubs increased the proficiency in reading comprehension as well as the level of accountable talk within the group," she wrote.
Curriculum designers don't need to keep book clubs and peer instruction penned in individual classrooms either. Peer-to-peer reading instruction can positively impact a child's social and emotional learning, which can be as crucial to their development as academic growth.
Behavioral specialist Ryan Wheeler notes that students gain social and emotional skills while working with younger students. "When students are given the freedom to be better, to work for something bigger than themselves, and to mentor others, they can thrive," he wrote for Edutopia.
While there's nothing more wonderful than watching a child curl up in a corner, wrapped with a book of their own choosing. Getting students to a place where they feel comfortable with reading may require a little support from their teachers, and a little help from their peers, too.

The reputation of SURTECO in the world of business and in particular the confidence of our customers, investors, employees, the authorities and the community at large is extremely important to us. A key factor here is our conduct in the world of business. Our corporate culture forms the basis for our actions. It represents the values of dependability, performance, transparency, integrity and fairness.
The Code of Conduct is intended to provide guidelines for routine everyday situations and to assist in reinforcing the trust our customers have placed in us. Every individual has a duty to live up to the responsibilities and values described in this document. Managers operate as role models. They are expected to conform to a high level of social and ethical competence.
Value and values, economy and morals, economics and ethics all belong together. Sustainable economic value added is only possible if moral and ethical values are maintained.
Undoubtedly, the issues addressed here cannot deal with all possible situations. All employees are therefore welcome to address any questions and take any ideas to their supervisors.
This guideline applies to all domestic and foreign organizational units in the SURTECO Group. It is implemented by the Group companies. The relevant statutory regulations and laws are also applicable to the business activities and conduct of our employees in addition to and independently of this guideline.
The goal of the SURTECO Group is to bring about a long-term increase in the corporate value of the company in tandem with the interests of shareholders, business partners, employees and the community at large. Expertise, performance and responsible actions by employees constitute a key foundation for our success.
Dependability, performance, transparency, integrity and fairness are key values held by our company. These include the following principles:
Our business partners (customers, sales partners and suppliers) are the focus of our activities. Relations with our business partners should be based on mutual dependability and sustainability. Business partners expect honest conduct in business dealings, polite behaviour, respect and fairness. This includes making and communicating decisions transparently and verifiably.
Regulations to protect fair competition are an indispensable element of a free market economy. We support national and international efforts to avoid competition being influenced or distorted. Virtually all countries have enacted legislation on this issue. Significant issues here are
Virtually all legal jurisdictions place particular emphasis on the prohibition of agreements between market players designed to restrict competition. Legislation already prohibits informal talks, informal gentlemen's agreements and even an agreed approach if this is intended to agree or implement a measure designed to restrict competition. Any appearance of behaviour involving a conspiracy should be avoided.
No confidential information about prices and upcoming price changes, or customer and supplier relationships should be exchanged with competitors during conversations. Exceptions are applicable, if within the framework of a specific project, e.g. a planned acquisition or establishment of a joint venture, information is disclosed after conclusion of a written secrecy agreement.
SURTECO supports all the necessary measures to prevent money laundering activities in their domain of influence.
SURTECO is committed to ensuring that its business activities do not violate international embargo and export control laws established within or applied by the countries where it operates.
Forced and bonded labour as well as child labour as defined by the ILO (International Labour Organization) Conventions, will be rejected.
Our company impresses customers with price, performance, quality and the suitability of the products and services supplied. We select our suppliers on the basis of the same criteria.
No personal advantages may be requested, accepted, offered or granted in order to gain preferential treatment during initial approaches, allocation or processing of an order.
Gifts must not be distributed or accepted. Exceptions are only applicable for general give-aways or promotional gifts, and for gifts which are in accordance with customary practices and politeness in a country, and are in conformity with the relevant statutory regulations. Particular caution should be observed with civil servants or officials, including individuals in positions of authority in foreign countries. The acceptance of gifts must not impact negatively on the image of the company in the public domain and should not be a cause of embarrassment to employees if they become known in the public domain.
The giving or acceptance of products or other items on loan for an unlimited period of time may also assume the character of a prohibited gift, or of acceptance of advantage or granting of advantage.
Offering or accepting invitations which are not connected with business visits, or which are unusual or disproportionate, require written in-company approval.
If an employee is confronted with an offer or request for a personal advantage, this should be reported immediately to the employee's supervisor.
Any cooperation with approved consultants, brokers or agents has to be based on contracts to ensure that no unreasonable advantages will be offered or given and that the local legal requirements and the requirements of this Code of Conduct will be complied with.
Compliance with the four-eyes-principle, the segregation of critical functions and a strict policy of complete documentation are fundamental parts of the internal organisation of SURTECO, aiming at the prevention of misconduct especially in sales and purchasing.
We have a responsibility to our employees. This is why we ensure that we have a modern leadership culture and promote the knowledge and experience of our employees. Our dealings with them are characterized by fairness, tolerance and equal opportunities. By the same token, all employees are responsible for ensuring that their behaviour is in accordance with the principles that regulate the business dealings of the company.
Each manager bears responsibility for their employees. Managers must gain respect through exemplary personal behaviour, performance, transparency and social skills. Managers place confidence in their employees, agree clear, ambitious and realistic goals and grant employees as much independent responsibility and scope for manoeuvre as possible. Only committed and qualified employees can guarantee the success of the SURTECO Group We regard the skills of our employees as valuable capital and therefore invest in their qualification and competence. Commitment and performance are qualities that are fostered in particular.
SURTECO complies with current minimum rates of pay as guaranteed by law and complies with the respective national rules and agreements on working time and paid leave.
All employees must handle company fittings and fixtures, in particular machinery and tools, information and communication systems, with appropriate care and in accordance with their intended purpose. Information and communication systems in particular, must only be used for business purposes. The workstation and all equipment used by the workforce or the company must be kept tidy and in good order. Any loss or damage must be reported to supervisors.
Company property must not be used for private purposes without the express consent of the responsible office in the company. Company property must not be removed from the premises of the company.
Expenses may only be reimbursed in accordance with the relevant expense guidelines.
Our discoveries and our know-how are a key factor in the long-term success of our company. Promotion of the creative and innovative competence of our employees is therefore of strategic importance, in the same way as protecting intellectual property against disclosure to third parties and against unauthorized access by third parties. All employees are therefore required to maintain reasonable and necessary security standards in personal dealings and in electronic communication with third parties. The same is applicable to information which is disclosed to us by third parties. Employees must not participate in public discussions (e.g. events involving presentations, Internet forums, etc.) in their capacity as SURTECO employees without first obtaining express permission. They are also prohibited from placing information relevant to the company in the public domain (e.g. Internet).
Appropriate security standards should also be applied when forwarding information. Each employee must also be clear about the level of security required when forwarding information.
All employees must valid effective intellectual property rights of third parties. Their unauthorized exploitation is prohibited. No employee may acquire the secrets of a third party without authority or make use of them.
All employees of the SURTECO Group are permitted to trade in shares of SURTECO GROUP SE without restriction. The insider legislation prohibits making use of insider information in order to achieve direct or indirect advantages when purchasing or selling securities. It also prohibits unauthorized disclosure of such information. Insider information relates to facts not generally known that relate to an issuer of securities where the publication of such information is likely to significantly influence the price of these securities. Such information is therefore important for investors in reaching a decision on whether to purchase or sell a security. This might be, for example, information about planned acquisitions, strategic alliances, financial results, new products, problems with products or important contracts.
The prohibition is applicable until the information is no longer relevant to the price or has been placed in the public domain. Prohibited insider deals may entail significant consequences under criminal and civil law for employees and for the company.
In order to avoid conflicts of interest, all employees must inform their supervisor or responsible personnel department and obtain consent for the intended
This is applicable in particular to taking on function in or for a company with which SURTECO is in a business relationship or is in competition.
Any activity which would entail a personal conflict of interests for an employee also results in a conflict of interests if this activity is provided by a family member and/or a partner or friend or a third party.
SURTECO supports the political or social commitment of its employees. An activity in associations, parties or other corporate, political or social institutions, whether it is as a holder of a mandate or in an honorary office, must not impair the performance of official duties.
Statements of opinions made in the public domain should be expressed without reference to the function within the company and should be accompanied by loyalty to the company.
All employees and all business partners have the right to fair, polite and respectful treatment by supervisors, employees and colleagues.
Nobody may be harassed or discriminated against on account of their race, skin colour, nationality, ethnic origin, gender, their sexual orientation, their beliefs or their view of the world, their political opinions, their age, their physical constitution, or their appearance.
All employees are obliged to respect the personal sphere of other employees. Sexual harassment and bullying are prohibited.
Safety at the workplace and the safety of our products are fundamental principles as far as we are concerned.
Employees are expected to comply with safety regulations, demonstrate risk awareness and contribute to safety-relevant activities. This is applicable to all risks that may arise at the workplace of our employees or in the use of our products. Identified accidents or perceived potential risks and hazards, and near accidents should be reported to the responsible supervisor without delay. The management of business units is responsible for establishing and monitoring a safety organization. Each supervisor is responsible for the protection of their employees and must provide appropriate induction, training and supervision. All managers are responsible for carrying out risk assessments to determine and evaluate hazards and burdens for people. This also includes organization of preventive industrial medical care.
Our company is committed to the protection of our environment as a corporate goal and declares conservation of resources in the manufacture of our products to be an important production factor. The following principles relating to environmental protection are applicable:
We strive to have a cooperative and transparent relationship with all responsible authorities. If authorities investigate breaches of applicable law, proceedings of this nature are conducted in accordance with specified rules. These rules also include the right of those affected to have legal representation. The assertion of this right and taking advantage of the "right to silence" is not an admission of guilt.
Supervisors should be involved whenever official investigations take place. No employee may destroy, remove or modify company documents in printed or electronic form, which are associated with an investigation or proceedings under legal, official or private-law jurisdiction.
This Code of Conduct should be handed out to every employee. However, it is not sufficient to simply be aware of this Code of Conduct. Each employee is required to review their own behaviour on the basis of the defined standards.
Managers have a particular obligation to carry out the function of a role model and proactively demonstrate integrity in routine business dealings. They are expected to inform employees within their area of responsibility about the principles underlying this Code of Conduct and to integrate the Code of Conduct in employee training.
Managers also have an obligation to ensure compliance with the Code of Conduct and to carry out monitoring programmes as necessary. In addition, compliance with the Code of Conduct will be audited by the Internal Audit Department.
The company will enforce observance of the defined rules. Infringements are punishable with possible consequences under civil law, criminal law and employment law.
If any employee has doubts about the legal validity of their own conduct or has suspicions of legally dubious activities within their working environment, they are expected to seek advice and assistance from their Supervisor, the responsible specialist departments, the Internal Audit Department or the bodies representing the interests of employees. Transparency and trust are extremely important in cases where the company could be at risk of sustaining losses.
SURTECO expects and encourages its business partners to introduce comparable principles in their corporate structures and to apply them as a basis for the mutual business relations.

Samaritan "Sam" Bowers was a human male serving in Starfleet in the 24th century. A twenty year veteran, Bowers served aboard Deep Space 9 and the USS Defiant in the late 2370s, then the USS Aventine in the 2380s.
History[edit | edit source]
Sam Bowers joined Starfleet sometime in the mid-2350s. (DS9 novel: Warpath)
- The novel is set in 2377 and refers to Bowers as a "twenty-odd year veteran" of the fleet. The reference is ambiguous enough that it could be including his time at the Academy, or strictly post-graduation.
USS Budapest[edit | edit source]
Prior to his service aboard DS9, Bowers served on the USS Budapest as tactical officer, where he was forced to kill several of his shipmates assimilated by the Borg during the Battle of Sector 001. (DS9 novels: Avatar, Lesser Evil)
Deep Space 9 and the Defiant[edit | edit source]
By early 2376, Bowers had been assigned to DS9 as a senior security officer and later served as tactical officer during the Defiant's three-month exploratory mission of the Gamma Quadrant in the middle of that year. (DS9 novels: The Left Hand of Destiny; Mission Gamma: Twilight, This Gray Spirit, Cathedral, Lesser Evil)
USS Aventine[edit | edit source]
In 2381, Bowers was promoted to Commander and assigned as first officer of the USS Aventine under Captain Ezri Dax. He would continue to serve in that position throughout the 2380s. (Star Trek: Destiny novel: Gods of Night, Star Trek: Typhon Pact novel: Brinkmanship)
Fan continuities[edit | edit source]
Star Trek: Lambda Paz/Star Trek: War Aftermath[edit | edit source]
During the Dominion War, Bowers served as a Sergeant in the Military Assault Command Operations and was assigned to the USS Lambda Paz in 2375. He was part of the team led by Captain Limis Vircona searching for Doctor Aurellan Markalis after she left the ship to prevent the arrest of a group of Augments led by Rhys Darcen. After the Captain's yacht was shot down, Bowers and Lieutenant Lisa Neeley tended to their wounded colleague Les Galloway. (Star Trek: Lambda Paz: "Religion To Do Good")
After the war, Bowers received a battlefield commission, and he eventually ascended to the rank of lieutenant by 2378. Because he had been an enlisted man most of his career, he was open to having younger superior officers. This was the case when Ezri Dax commanded the Defiant while it was monitoring Benjamin Sisko's undercover mission. (Star Trek: War Aftermath Episode 2: "Omega").
- In this series, Sam Bowers was "played" by Roger Cross.
Star Trek: Pendragon[edit | edit source]
After the Federation Civil War, Bowers was assigned as Security Chief aboard the USS Defiant, where he served for about five years. Upon the completed of Project Restoration in 2379, Bowers was assigned as head of Starfleet Security aboard the new DS9 alongside Constable Odo of the Bajoran Militia. (PDN: "Restoration")
During his service aboard DS9, Bowers came to be close friends with the station's chief counselor, Ezri Dax and forged an unusual camaraderie with the Jem'Hadar liaison officer Taran'atar.
- In photomanipulations produced for Star Trek: Pendragon, Sam Bowers was played by actor Shemar Moore.
