Cooder has long sought out masters of "roots" music to learn from and play with. This time he found his way into a diamond mine, and the resulting three albums, "Buena Vista Social Club", "Afro-Cuban All-Stars" and "Introducing Ruben Gonzales" could all have won the 1998 Grammy award, as the former actually did.
The film follows the aging Son musicians around their native Cuba as they prepare for overseas concerts in both Holland and New York City. The city of Havana shows the effects of aging itself, run down and seedy, but, as with the musicians themselves, there is a spirit of unity and inner strength that overrides the worn down facade. That spirit emerges quickly as you see how deeply the Cubans feel their music. You also see a country that preserves the old and makes it work personified in the "antique" automobiles the Cubans use to get around.
Several musicians are featured in the film, but two gain the film's focus, jazz pianist Ruben Gonzales and singer Ibrahim Ferrer, the "Cuban Frank Sinatra". Gonzales no longer has a piano and plays one in a gymnasium reserved for Cuban gymnasts. Ferrer feels the public no longer appreciates his music and is shining shoes to supplement a tiny retirement. Ry Cooder and his son Joachim (sp?Read more ›
The musicians are elderly, their musical skills developed from childhood and they are living memorials to the music they love. Once renowned in Cuba in the 40's and 50's, these men have lived through upheaval and changes in their country, and yet approach life with joy and freshness. The camera picks up the wrinkles, but it also picks up the twinkle in the eye of 91 year old guitarist/singer Compay Segundo who playfully talks about fathering another child to add to his family, or lead singer 70 year-old Ibraham Ferrer's affection for this wife, the 80-year old pianist Ruben Gonzolez who finds it hard to walk, but has no trouble making his fingers fly over the keyboard. Omera Portuando, the lone sultry female, adds an ageless feminine presence to the group.
This is not just a movie about the music. The movie IS the music. And there are long musical sequences which will delight anyone with a serious musical interest. The movie is also about the individual people, whose interviews against the backdrop of a crumbling, but lively Cuba are testaments to the human spirit. Before they were rediscovered for this film, one of the men was shining shoes; another was working in a cigar factory. Politics are never mentioned, but the 1940s and 50s American cars and the disintegrating buildings is evidence of politics gone haywire four decades ago.Read more ›

A wedding supplies retailer keeps the site search bar before consumers at all times.
What's purple, appears lighter than air and generates e-commerce sales? The floating search bar used by American Bridal. As a consumer scrolls down the retailer's web page, the bar containing the box for site search—shaded a feminine tone that wouldn't be out of place at a wedding—floats at the top, like a balloon bobbing against the ceiling. Within its left half, the bar also displays discount offers—in late October, 15% off orders of $75 or more, and 20% off orders of more than $150. Roughly a year after its introduction, the average order value for shoppers using the site search tool was $105, nearly 24% more than the $85 for shoppers not using it, says Jon Hawkins, senior e-commerce manager at XO Group, which owns the e-commerce site.

Green Day
St. Jimmy
St. Jimmy's comin' down across the alleyway
Up on the boulevard like a zip gun on parade
Light of a silhouette
He's insubordinate
Coming at you on the count of 1,2,1,2,3,4!
My name is Jimmy and you better not wear it out
Suicide commando that your momma talked about
King of the forty theives
And I'm here to represent
That needle in the vein of the establishment
I'm the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal
Cigarettes and ramen and a little bag of dope
I am the son of a bitch and Edgar Allen Poe
Raised in the city under a halo of lights
The product of war and fear that we've been victimized
I'm the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal
I'll give you something to cry about.
My name is St. Jimmy I'm a son of a gun
I'm the one that's from the way outside
I'm a teenage assassin executing some fun
In the cult of the life of crime.
I really hate to say it but I told you so
So shut your mouth before I shoot you down old boy
Welcome to the club and give me some blood
And the resident leader at the lost and found
It's comedy and tragedy
It's St. Jimmy
And that's my nameeeeeee...and don't wear it out!

U.K-based Martin Currie Investment Management is gearing up to launch a long/short global energy fund on March 1, 2007.
The new vehicle, the Martin Currie ARF - Global Energy Fund, is a carve-out of the firm's US$540 million Global Resources long/short strategy, which has returned 15.88% year-to-date.
The portfolio will be driven by stock selection with no bias toward specific countries, sectors or market capitalizations. There will be 30-50 positions within the portfolio.
Both the Global Resources Fund and the Global Energy Fund employ the same investment process and strategy, and both funds will run similar position sizes in the stocks that they have in common, according to portfolio manager Duncan Goodwin.
"Therefore, all of the energy stocks held in the global resources fund will also be in the energy fund," said Goodwin. "However, there will be a few extra additional positions in the energy fund that you won't find in the resources fund. The Global Resources Fund contains energy and basic materials stocks. The Martin Currie ARF - Global Energy Fund will only contain energy stocks."
The new vehicle aims for returns of 16-18% per annum, coupled with a maximum volatility of 12-15% per annum. Fees are 1.5/20 with a $100,000 minimum investment requirement.
Martin Currie was incorporated in 1985 and currently manages some US$22.5 billion.

After 15 fights and five and a half years in the UFC, it's strange to think that Michael Bisping might finally answer his critics with a single win this weekend.
Yet, if Bisping overcomes the odds, upsets Chael Sonnen at UFC on Fox 2 on Saturday and becomes the organization's No. 1 middleweight contender, there will be very little left to say about him aside from: Sorry Mike, we've been wrong about you.
In an industry so preoccupied with the concept of respect, it's hard to think of a UFC veteran who is more routinely disrespected, his accomplishments more often dismissed out of hand than Bisping.
Ever since he brought a 10-0 record across the pond to compete on season three of "The Ultimate Fighter" back in 2006, the Brit has been branded as overrated. Oddly, the 12-3 record he's put up since winning the UFC's popular reality show has done little to dispel the notion of him as nothing more than a product of the fight company's powerful hype machine. Rightly or wrongly, a healthy portion of the viewing public still thinks of Bisping as a mediocre fighter, a guy unfairly held up as a main event talent for the express purpose of spearheading the UFC's push into the European market.
Much of that, of course, is due to the level of competition he's faced to this point, which hasn't been stellar. The truth is, a glance at Bisping's career body of work (he's 22-3 overall) actually tells us precious little about what kind of talent he might ultimately prove to be.
His dozen UFC wins have come against opposition with a combined Octagon record of 42-48. For all of his experience with the company, he has only defeated three opponents with winning UFC records -- Matt Hamill, Chris Leben and Jorge Rivera -- and their victories account for 29 of the 42 mentioned above.
To be fair, two of his three career losses – decisions to Rashad Evans and Wanderlei Silva – are also less than definitive. His KO at the hands of Dan Henderson at UFC 100 sticks out as his only real obvious failing, and it's one critics have not let him forget.
Bisping, naturally, vehemently disagrees with any assessment of himself as anything other than a top contender. It's easy to see his point. As a fighter, all he can do is beat the men UFC matchmakers put in front of him, and so far he's done an admirable job at it.
Nonetheless, in Sonnen – at least the most recent incarnation of him -- Bisping faces his first real litmus test since that 2009 loss to Hendo. Their fight will be contested on the sport's newest and biggest stage and the prize is one both have been very vocal about deserving.
It stands to be a pivotal moment in Bisping's career. If he wants to prove the critics wrong and stake his claim among the upper echelon of 185-pound fighters, well, here's his chance.
If he can't do it, it'll simply confirm what many have thought about him for a long time.
If he can, if he beats Sonnen, a lot of people -- me included -- probably owe the guy an apology.

About me
I was born in Pinner, England & brought up on Jersey, near France. I have a Master's degree in Medieval & Tudor Studies as well as holding a BA in art history.
It is through the lives of artists & their work that provides inspiration for my novels. Nicholas Hilliard is such a character.
The Truth of the Line is about Hilliard & his relationship with Elizabeth I & her Court. A novel is the perfect way of exploring the symbolism in his portraits of Elizabeth whilst weaving his life story with events of the time. From original documents & images I explore his association with two Queens, his relationship with influential Tudor Courtiers and the possibility he stumbled on a dark secret of Elizabeth & Robert Dudley. My interpretations may be considered controversial. I have tried to look at Catholic medieval symbolism through the Hilliard's Protestant eyes to suggest other meanings to his portraits of the Virgin Queen. It is up to the reader to choose to believe them, or not

Even though the manual says the led is blue & mine shines red (my favorite color anyway), I love it.—A perfect pair w/ the car charger. After a little "corrective surgery" on my iSkin to accomodate the iTrip, all is well. Finally—all my tunes in the car at one time!

Like yourself, I live in a large metropolitan area (Dallas-Fort Worth) The radio frequencies here also very cluttered but if you can find one that the signal is pretty faint, or one with very little bleedover from an adjoining frequency, the iTrip works just fine.—The default, 87.9, works best for me.

To clarify, It IS possible to add advertising with the Standard Version.
On the free version it has certain limitations listed at the bottom of this page
one of them lists --Developer Services Portal
Among other things this includes advertising. So you would need to upgrade to the Standard Version $49.00 for advertising on Windows 8.

You can stop the running by swapping out the sprite with one that is static... or in a standing motion (swaying back and forth).
In addition to this, you will find when you open the room, a background tab. Each background has a different speed and is tiled horizontally. This gives the illusion of movement. ( a negative number will move to the left)

Vitamin D is suggested to have protective effects against type 1 diabetes. However, the results from observational studies have been inconsistent. We aimed to examine their association by conducting a meta-analysis of observational studies. Multiple databases were searched in June 2013 to identify relevant studies including both case-control and cohort studies. Either a fixed- or random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled risk estimate. We identified eight studies (two cohort studies and six case-control studies) on vitamin D intake during early life and three studies (two cohort studies and one case-control study) on maternal vitamin D intake during pregnancy. The pooled odds ratio for type 1 diabetes comparing vitamin D supplementation with non-supplementation during early life was 0.71 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.51–0.98). Similar results were observed in the case-control subgroup analysis but not in the cohort subgroup analysis. The pooled odds ratio with maternal intake of vitamin D during pregnancy was 0.95 (95% CI, 0.66–1.36). In conclusion, vitamin D intake during early life may be associated with a reduced risk of type 1 diabetes. However, there was not enough evidence for an association between maternal intake of vitamin D and risk of type 1 diabetes in the offspring.
Type 1 diabetes is an immune-mediated disease characterized by the loss of the insulin-producing β-cells, which eventually results in high levels of glucose in the blood. The incidence of type 1 disease is increasing all over the world [1,2]. Ecological study has shown an association between ultraviolet B irradiance, the primary source of circulating vitamin D in humans, and high incidence of type 1 diabetes in children, leading to the hypothesis that vitamin D may have a role in the disease [3]. The prevalent vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency, for example in the Chinese population, represents an important public health issue [4].
Indeed, recent cross-sectional studies consistently suggested a high vitamin D deficiency in patients with type 1 diabetes [5,6,7]. EURODIAB, the first case-control study on this topic, showed a reduced risk of developing type 1 diabetes by vitamin D supplementation during the first year of life [8]. However, subsequent observational studies (case-control and cohort studies) yielded inconsistent results [9,10,11,12,13,14,15]. The protective effect of vitamin D against type 1 diabetes was observed in some studies [8,10,11,13,14] but not all [9,12,15]. The small sample size may have led to the null associations in some studies. On the other hand, there is evidence that the destruction of β-cells could be initiated in utero [16]. Growing attention therefore has been paid to the role of maternal vitamin D status in type 1 diabetes in the offspring. Yet the results from observational studies [9,11,17] were also inconclusive.
Thus, the aim of this study was to examine the association between vitamin D intake and risk of type 1 diabetes by conducting a meta-analysis of relevant studies. In addition, we examined the association between maternal intake of vitamin D during pregnancy and risk of type 1 diabetes in the offspring.
We generally followed the Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines [18] in the design, analysis, and reporting of this study. We searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases in June 2013 to identify relevant studies that assessed the association between intake of vitamin D and risk of type 1 diabetes. The literature search was supplemented through the manual review of reference lists of retrieved articles and recent reviews. Search terms included "vitamin D", "25-hydroxyvitamin D", "type 1 diabetes". No restriction was imposed.
Studies were eligible for analysis if they met the following criteria: the study design was a case-control study or cohort study; the outcome was type 1 diabetes; and risk estimates of diabetes related to vitamin D intake during early life or maternal intake of vitamin D and associated 95% CIs (or data to calculate them) were reported. Initially, we reviewed titles and abstracts to ascertain the potential fit to the inclusion criteria. In the presence of uncertainty regarding the relevancy, a subsequent full-text assessment was conducted.
We extracted the following information: the first author's name, publication year, study population, location, characteristics of the study population (age, sex, and sample size), assessment of exposure and outcome, length of follow-up (for cohort studies), most fully adjusted risk estimates (with corresponding 95% CI) from a multivariable model, and statistical adjustment for the potential confounding factors. For two studies [15,17] that examined different sources of vitamin D (i.e., total vitamin D, vitamin D from food only, and vitamin D from supplementation only), the risk estimates for total vitamin D intake were used. Two authors (Dong, J.Y. and Qin, L.Q.) independently performed data extraction, with disagreements resolved by discussion.
Odds ratio (OR) was used as a measure of the association between vitamin D intake and risk of type 1 diabetes. For cohort studies, incidence rate, rate ratio, and relative risk were considered as a surrogate measure of OR. Because the absolute risk of type 1 diabetes is low, the relative risks approximate OR values. We calculated the Q and I2 statistics [19] to examine statistical heterogeneity across studies. I2 is the proportion of total variation contributed by between-study variation. Either a fixed-effects model or, in the presence of heterogeneity, random-effects model was used to combine the study-specific ORs and compute the summary one. Subgroup analysis by study design (i.e., case-control vs. cohort studies) was performed. We also conducted sensitivity analysis to investigate the influence of a single study on the overall risk estimates by omitting one study in each turn. Potential publication bias was assessed by Egger test [20]. All analyses were performed using STATA version 11.0 [21]. A P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Figure 1 presents a flow chart showing the study selection process. We initially identified 1588 potential articles from three electronic databases; most were excluded because they were not case-control or cohort studies or because the exposure or endpoint was not relevant to our analysis, leaving 11 potentially eligible papers for full-text review. One study [22] was excluded because the outcome was immune-mediated diseases but not type 1 diabetes. Another study [23] was excluded because the risk estimate for the association of interest was not available. Finally, nine articles [8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,17] with 12 risk estimates on vitamin D and type 1 diabetes were included in the final analysis. The EURODIAB [8] that combined the results of seven case-control studies across European countries was considered as one multi-center, case-control study. Among the nine articles, eight studies [8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15] reported results on vitamin D intake during early life (e.g., the first year of life or childhood period) and three studies [9,11,17] reported results on maternal vitamin D intake during pregnancy.
Characteristics of the selected studies are presented in Table 1. These studies were published between 1999 and 2011. Among them, seven studies were conducted in Europe, and one each in the United States and Iran. Six studies had a case-control design, comprising 1860 cases and 6243 controls; the other three had a cohort design, comprising 171 cases and 14,264 participants. The length of follow-up for cohort studies ranged from 5 to 31 years. Most selected/incident cases aged ≤ 18 years old, whereas two studies had cases with a wider age range between 0 and 30 years old. All studies included both male and female participants. Two studies used food-frequency questionnaires for assessment of vitamin D intake and the remaining used other questionnaires or interview. Type 1 diabetes cases were mainly ascertained on the basis of WHO criteria or EURODIAB criteria. The adjusted covariates in individual studies differed from each other.
There were eight epidemiologic studies (six case-control studies and two cohort studies) reporting the association between vitamin D intake and risk of type 1 diabetes. All of them focused on vitamin D intake during early life. The ORs from individual studies varied from 0.22 to 1.30. Of the eight included studies, five reported a significant inverse association between vitamin D intake and risk of type 1 diabetes, while the other three found null associations. The pooled OR was 0.71 (95% CI, 0.51–0.98; Figure 2), with evidence of heterogeneity across studies (P < 0.001, I2 = 74.9%). We further conducted subgroup analysis by study design (case-control studies vs. cohort studies). The pooled risk estimate for six case-control studies was similar to the overall one (OR = 0.68; 95% CI, 0.49–0.94), while the pooled risk estimate for two cohort studies was non-significant with a wide CI (relative risk = 0.62; 95% CI, 0.11–3.45). The sensitivity analysis in which one study at a time was omitted generally showed statistically significant or marginally significant results; the pooled ORs ranged from 0.64 (95% CI, 0.46–0.89) to 0.78 (95% CI, 0.57–1.07). The Egger test suggested no evidence of publication bias (P = 0.28).
Three studies (two case-control studies and one cohort study) examined the association between maternal intake of vitamin D and risk of type 1 diabetes in the offspring. All of them reported non-significant associations. The pooled OR was 0.95 (95% CI, 0.66–1.36; Figure 2), with little evidence of heterogeneity (P = 0.27, I2 = 23.7%). Because of the small number of studies, subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis, and Egger test were not performed.
The present meta-analysis aimed to assess the association between vitamin D intake and risk of type 1 diabetes. By combining the results from published case-control and cohort studies to date, our findings suggested vitamin D intake during early life was associated with a reduced risk of type 1 diabetes. However, current evidence does not support an association between maternal intake of vitamin D and risk of type 1 diabetes in the offspring.
Complex mechanisms (which are beyond our scope) may be involved in the potentially protective effects of vitamin D against type 1 diabetes. The beneficial effects of vitamin D are proposed to be related to the regulation of the immune system, including its actions in monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, T and B lymphocytes. In fact, experimental studies and clinical trials have shown beneficial effects of vitamin D supplementation on immune function [24]. Another possible mechanism is that vitamin D may have direct effects on β-cells, including improving insulin secretion, enhancing expression of vitamin D receptor, and improving islet morphology [24,25]. In addition, vitamin D may have effects on regulation of inflammatory responses [24].
To date, no randomized controlled trials directly look at the effects of vitamin D supplementation on incidence of type 1 diabetes. Several trials tested the effects of vitamin D supplementation on residual β-cell function in recent-onset type 1 diabetes [26,27,28,29]. However, the results were somewhat mixed. Three trials [26,27,28] reported that calcitriol (the active form of vitamin D) had no protective effects or only modest effects on β-cell function, while one trial [29] suggested cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) used as adjunctive therapy with insulin slowed decline of residual β-cell function. Interestingly, in one trial conducted in healthy subjects, vitamin D3 supplementation did not improve β-cell function but significantly increased the frequency of regulatory T cells [30]. Such protective immunologic effect, which was also observed in an above mentioned trial conducted in type 1 diabetes [29], indicated a possible mechanistic link between vitamin D and the disease.
Measurement of vitamin D intake using questionnaires is inaccurate due to recall bias and other measurement errors; moreover, sun exposure was not taken into account. Therefore, some studies assessed blood 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] level as a reliable measure of total vitamin D status. One case-cohort study found plasma 25(OH)D level was not associated with type 1 diabetes risk in islet autoimmunity-positive children (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.91, 95% CI 0.68–1.22) [15]. The small number of identified cases (n = 35) may be responsible for the null association. More recently, one nested case-control study among US military personnel with more cases (n = 310) reported that higher blood 25(OH)D levels was associated with a significantly lower risk of type 1 diabetes among non-Hispanic whites, although such association was not observed in non-Hispanic blacks or Hispanics [31].
Whether vitamin D deficiency in the fetal period contributes to increased risk of type 1 diabetes is of additional interest. Previous study indicated maternal intake of vitamin D had a protective effect on preventing diabetes-associated autoimmunity in the children [32]. Yet, our meta-analysis of three studies [9,11,17] provided no evidence for the association between maternal intake of vitamin D and diabetes risk in the offspring. In line with our finding, one Finnish study also found no difference in serum 25(OH)D levels during early pregnancy between case and control mothers [33]. By contrast, another study in Norway suggested lower maternal level of 25(OH)D during pregnancy was associated with a significantly higher risk of type 1 diabetes in the offspring (OR = 2.38, 95% CI 1.12–5.07) [34]. Given the limited and inconsistent evidence at present, more studies are needed to determine the role of vitamin D in the fetal period in the development of type 1 diabetes.
Compared with a previous meta-analysis of only five studies [35], we added more evidence linking vitamin D and type 1 diabetes up to date. We were also able to examine the association between maternal vitamin D intake during pregnancy and diabetes risk in the offspring, which was not measured in that meta-analysis. However, limitations of the present study should be considered. First, because the findings were mainly based on case-control studies, recall bias and selection bias were inevitable. Also, the adjusted covariates in individual studies differed and the lack of control for important confounding factors increased the risk of confounding bias. Second, there was considerable heterogeneity among studies. Study design did not seem to explain much between-study variation as heterogeneity remained in both case-control and cohort subgroups (data not shown). Third, measurement errors could influence our findings as assessments of vitamin D intake largely depended upon questionnaires. Moreover, whether the questionnaires were validated was not reported in several studies. Fourth, we included two studies [9,11] using cod liver oil as vitamin D supplementation, we therefore could not rule out the possibility that n-3 fatty acids in cod liver oil may, at least in part, account for the observed benefits on type 1 diabetes risk. Finally, although there was no evidence of publication bias, we could not completely rule out such bias because of the limited number of studies.
Our findings suggest that vitamin D intake during early life is associated with a reduced risk of type 1 diabetes. There was not enough evidence supporting an association between maternal intake of vitamin D and type 1 diabetes risk in the offspring. Because these findings were largely based upon case-control studies, well-designed cohort studies are still needed to determine the role of vitamin D in the prevention of type 1 diabetes.

Promega recently introduced a couple of new tools to make life easier for recombinant protein aficionados. HaloTag, despite a name that conjures up cherubim and seraphim, is a solid, down-to-earth product. According to Kate Qin Zhao, Ph.D., a senior research scientist in proteomics R&D, the HaloTag concept was originally based on a bacterial dehalogenase, which will covalently attach to a set of chloroalkane ligands with different functional groups, such as fluorescent dyes, biotin, and solid surfaces. By forming a fusion protein with a gene product of interest, it can perform as a powerful tag and purification device. According to Dr. Zhao, it has been successfully applied to a variety of biotech tasks, such as live-cell imaging, protein interactions, and protein immobilization.
Now a next-generation HaloTag 7 has been configured in order to increase its structural compatibility with its numerous fusion protein partners. The newly redesigned model boasts a number of desirable features, including superior performance compared to GST, MBP and His-tags with better protein recovery, and lower nonspecific contaminants.
Fusion tags are frequently introduced to facilitate protein purification of recombinant proteins. Removal of the tag after purification is usually done by engineering a cleavage site between the tag and the encoded protein recognizable by a site-specific protease, such as the one from tobacco etch virus (TEV). Promega scientists have introduced a TEV linker that allows the protein of interest to be efficiently cleaved from the HaloTag 7 protein, greatly improving the quality of purification. So the system produces proteins with superior yield, purity, and specific activity by providing a simple method for fusion protein detection and quantification. The HaloTag protein purification system will be released this spring.
Dr. Zhao also discussed two cell-free protein expression systems, the S30 T7 High Yield Protein Expression System and the TNT® T7 Insect Cell Extract Protein Expression System. She claims they offer a number of important advantages. The prokaryotic S30 System is a native coupled-transcription/translation device that features high protein productivity per DNA input, with yields as high as 500 µg/mL/hr at 37ºC. Because of its ease of manipulation, it can be used as an efficient screening tool. It is scalable and as little as 5 µL reaction mixtures can be driven with 100 ng plasmid DNA. And the system has the flexibility to permit use of multiple detection methods, including Coomassie, FluoroTect™, Transcend™, HaloTag®Protein purification and His/HQ tagHaloTag.
Finally, the TNT T7 Insect Cell Extract Protein Expression System, designed as a eukaryotic system, uses a DNA template with a T7 promoter for protein yields up to 75 µg/mL. "We believe it offers a higher probability of obtaining proteins with high specific activity," states Dr. Zhao.

I've been looking endlessly for code for creating my own recent posts section on my blog, but all google keeps turning up is codes for WordPress, Blogger and such.
I've been building my site from scratch (and learning in the process) and am wondering how this can be done through custom code. I'm embarrassed to say that I don't even know if it would be HTML, Javascript, PHP or what...
It would make it a whole lot easier than having to manually enter and remove every single post.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

'The Course Of Love' Is More Case Study Than Novel By Heller McAlpin • Jun 15, 2016 There's a possibly inadvertent but telling double-entendre in the title of Alain de Botton's new book. The Course of Love is his first novel since On Love (1993), which inventively tracked the trajectory of a love affair from the ecstasy of infatuation to the utter despair of its demise. Half his lifetime and more than a dozen nonfiction titles later, this followup about the 14-year rocky road to romantic reality of a couple living in Edinburgh reveals the constancy of de Botton's concern with the arc of relationships.
