Thais Fenwick was eleven-years-old when civilization fell, devastated by a virus that killed off the majority of the world's population. For seven years, Thais and her family lived in a community of survivors deep in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains. But when her town is attacked by raiders, she and her blind sister are taken away to the East-Central Territory where she is destined to live the cruel and unjust kind of life her late mother warned her about.
Atticus Hunt is a troubled soldier in Lexington City who has spent the past seven years trying to conform to the vicious nature of men in a post-apocalyptic society. He knows that in order to survive, he must abandon his morals and his conscience and become like those he is surrounded by. But when he meets Thais, morals and conscience win out over conformity, and he risks his rank and his life to help her. They escape the city and set out together on a long and perilous journey to find safety in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Struggling to survive in a world without electricity, food, shelter, and clean water, Atticus and Thais shed their fear of growing too close, and they fall hopelessly in love. But can love survive in such dark times, or is it fated to die with them?
My Review
Set after an illness and the events that followed wiped out half the country's population and civilization as we know it, Thais and her family manage to survive in a rural town in what used to be Kentucky. But lawlessness and greed are everywhere and soon raiders upend an already upended life and send Thais and her sister into the wilderness. They're soon caught by raiders and taken to Lexington City where women are more prized than gold. They are ranked according to looks and worth and sorted for a life as workers, wives, or whores. There is no equality and no freedom. Thais is desperate to get her sister out, although to where is still huge unknown. But remaining in Lexington City will be a hell all its own.
Atticus is a soldier in Lexington City responsible for sorting Thais and her sister. He's filled with self-loathing and a desire to change things for the better. His views on the new fallen world are best summed up in his inner thoughts.
But in every good person there is something dark waiting to take the reins. Now here we were, Evelyn and Atticus, a whore and a murderer, succumbing to that dark part of us, because that's how life was.
Something about Thais sparks a desire in Atticus to battle back against that darkness and maybe redeem his soul. If he can protect her and her sister, maybe he's not the animal he believes himself to be. When things spiral out of his control, he has no choice but to get Thais out of the city where survival is even more precarious and betrayal is everywhere. Somehow these two find mutual respect in one another that gives way to something more.
The plot moves at a fast pace from the opening chapter. Scenes are short, and alternating points of view keep suspense high and prevents the story from stalling. However, starting in Chapter 24, the author throws in the alternate point of view in bold parenthesis. This practice is jarring, ripping me from the story each time. These points of view are completely unnecessary to the flow of story, so I began to ignore them when I came across them.
The Characters
While I'm sure this was written as a plot-driven story, the characters steal the show. Atticus is a fascinating, intense character who I felt the author was much more comfortable writing than Thais. Thais is also well-developed, but she comes across as almost two people as the story develops. She's tough and determined early on, but slowly becomes dependent upon Atticus for her survival, losing some of that grit that made me love her in the beginning.
Top Five Things I Enjoyed About EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN
1. Atticus. He's brilliantly crafted.
2. Dystopian. I do love a good fallen civilization.
3. Unhurried love. I love how the author doesn't rush anything between Thais and Atticus.
4. Character development. Both Thais and Atticus undergo tremendous development throughout the story that is a direct reflection of the circumstances they've been put in, making it very organic.
5. Realism. While this is a young adult novel, the author doesn't sugar coat the realities of life in a post-apocalyptic world, from rape, cannibalism, violence, and prostitution, a dark world is not made less dark just because the characters are young.
Bottom Line
A character-driven dystopian in the best sense of the word with remarkable characters and a solid plot.
I was provided a copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review.

Life paths and knowledge
Objects, bodies and agents of knowledge: colonial North African prisoners-of-war in Germany during the First World War
The idea to revolutionize the Muslim World was a central military and political strategy of the German Empire during the First World War. One central site at which this 'programme for revolution' (Aufwiegelung) was implemented was the Halfmoon camp in the south of Berlin. Here, predominantly Muslim prisoners-of-war from Asia and Africa were interned and subjected to a special treatment in captivity.
The research project investigates the Halfmoon camp as a site of (imperial) knowledge production drawing on approaches of history of knowledge and global history. It analyses how colonial prisoners-of-war from Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco were turned into objects and agents of knowledge, be it for military intelligence, imperial politics or academic research. In exploring written, visual sources as well as sound recordings, it analyses practices of knowing and educating Muslim prisoners-of-war in a confined space of a camp stressing colonial and imperial entanglements of actors and practices. Eventually, it examines in what way knowledge produced in the camp supported the construction of Algerian, Tunisian and Moroccan soldiers as a 'racialized other' in public and academic discourse during and after the First World War.

For the third year, Yerevan played host to an annual festival celebrating dolma -- the dish made by stuffing grape leaves and other vegetables with an assortment of ingredients. Reports the Asbarez website:
Taste-Testers flocked through the flanked winged oxen of the Sardarabad memorial for the third annual Dolma Festival on Wednesday, July 10. Traditional music, singing, and dancing set the mood for the festival as 24 groups locked in a battle of vine leaves and stuffing for prizes in a number of categories including the longest Dolma.
The festival was organized by the Armenian Cookery Traditions Development and Protection Organization (ACTDP) and exposed visitors to a number of variations of the traditional Armenian dish. Qajik Levonyan, a representative of the Araratian Restaurant , said that the name of the three thousand-year-old dish stems from the Armenian word Dol, which means vine leaves, and that the recipe's secret lies in the freshness of the ingredients.
As previously reported on this blog, though, the dolma festival is more than just about dolma. This being the Caucasus, the event also has a political subtext to it, with ACTDP head Sedrak Mamulyan telling Armenian reporters two years ago that one of the motivating factors behind the festival was to keep dolma (or "tolma" as he called it) from being "appropriated" by neighboring countries. "We have done nothing to patent our national dishes," he said at the time.
Other countries in the region may have an interest in keeping Armenia from patenting dolma, but they may find that the country has a new claim to fame in the stuffed grape leaf department. According to reports, this year's festival yielded a new world record for the longest dolma -- a 25-foot behemoth that some enterprising Azeri or Turk is very likely now thinking about how to beat.
Meanwhile, video from the Armenian dolma festival (including a visit from the American ambassador in Yerevan, who may have just inadvertently stepped into one of the Caucasus' myriad food fights) below:

By way of this visual prelude, the Maison Louis Vuitton unveils a first hint of the upcoming campaign: "Beyond Perfume".
Les Parfums Louis Vuitton: available from September 2016.
By way of this visual prelude, the Maison Louis Vuitton unveils a first hint of the upcoming campaign: "Beyond Perfume".
Les Parfums Louis Vuitton: available from September 2016.
The Maison Louis Vuitton unveils its creative atelier in the heart of Grasse, an emblematic domain.
One need only pass through the wrought iron gates of the property - Les Fontaines Parfumées - to immediately forget the cars racing up and down the Route Napoleon. Suddenly, you feel the cool shade of majestic trees along the main avenue. You can already hear the flow of La Foux, Grasse's historical spring, as it courses through small stone channels, past the fountain and down to the old mill below.
A little farther on, one arrives at the main building with its beautiful terrace named Les Fontaines Parfumées, or "the scented fountains". This property has an actual perfume fountain installed in the rotunda since the 1920s where visitors would come to fill their bottles directly.
This estate is now the cornerstone of Louis Vuitton perfumes and will serve as an olfactory creative center for LVMH.
Les Parfums Louis Vuitton: available from September 2016.
Named Maître Parfumeur of Louis Vuitton in 2012, Jacques Cavallier Belletrud traveled the world for four years to perfect the first collection of Louis Vuitton perfumes.
As a schoolboy in Grasse, Jacques Cavallier Belletrud would walk by an imposing portal. He had no idea what sat behind the wrought iron gates that so intrigued him. Little could he have imagined that in 2016 this very place would become his creative workshop.
At the age of eight, Jacques Cavallier Belletrud went to his father, a perfumer, and told him he wanted to follow in his footsteps. He learned perfume notes the way other children practiced piano scales. When he got good grades in school, his father allowed him to weigh out formulas. The day after receiving his high school diploma, he began working in a perfume factory in Grasse, where he learned to distill flowers. At 18, he created his first formula — but his father reminded him that becoming a perfumer takes much more than mixing a few scents together...
Les Parfums Louis Vuitton: available from September 2016.
The Autumn-Winter 2016 campaign once again featuring actor and director Xavier Dolan, introduces the new Monogram Eclipse and Illusion canvas, as well as the iconic Taurillon Leather. An invitation to travel, the collection offers a selection of bags, ready-to-wear, accessories and shoes for a modern and casual silhouette.
The full collection is available in store.
Lightweight, strong and resistant, the Louis Vuitton New Rolling Luggage offers an important interior packing space thanks to an increased volume of 15% compared to a similar sized trunk with the traditional internal mounted cane.
Additional innovations include a new transversal side hinge allowing a 180 degree opening, an ultra-slim aluminium 3-digit combination zip-pull lock system and four miniature wheels, engineered to be as silent as possible, and ensuring 360 degree movement with smooth and stable manoeuvring.

From email@example.com:
Dear Coach,
People in my school think I'm a slut because I do lots of stuff with lots of guys but the truth is I'm still a virgin. Sometimes I think that I might as well just go all the way with some random guy and get it over with, since everyone thinks I'm easy anyway. I'm a hardcore Pats fan and my dad says you'rr a genius so tell me what to do and I'll listen.
From the Playbook:
At the end of the day the only stat that matters is points allowed. And it sounds to me like you've allowed plenty of yardage but kept the offense out of the end zone. Abstinence is for morons like Philip Rivers; I've been to the Super Bowl with defenses that would make Kim Kardashian look like an Amish person. So firm up the red zone defense and dont worry about the hand jobs, the blow jobs, the frontal nudity and the bondage. Until you lose your virginity, you're still a winner in my book.

Well he doesn't suck. So let's stop that nonsense.You trade him because he sucks at basketball and was leaving next year anyway. I don't really see this as as Hoiberg fit issue, as such.
This was not a basketball related move per say. It had more to do with fit. The relationship with Rose and his camp eroded to a point of not being salvageable.

"Virtual Reality" Meetings
The new virtual worlds will be streamlined for everyday use – assisting in conducting the remotely held boardroom meetings, brainstorming sessions or enabling perpetual "war" rooms. They are a metaphor that everyone can grasp immediately and begin to engage without much of a learning curve. Let's call them Digital Environments rather than Virtual Reality.
While you can enter the room online you can also walk in to the Digital Environment when you enter a physical room (very Inception-like) seeing content posted by others in the "room" or real-time video of the other participants as they engage and interact. Use any device to engage with the displays.
You won't need an "avatar" just the ability to see the walls of the room and engage with the frames on the wall. Dropping in content that can be viewed and edited by all… or everyone can do a brainstorm put up post-its from any location. Fun!
This will create a need to provide a context for a new wave of applications that enable people to perform tasks across different end points — but in fun and engaging ways like they are imagining at Innovation Games.
Watch out PowerPoint…
Amazing animation used by Hans Rosling as he examines the correlation between income growth and life expectancy in 200 countries over the last 200 hundred years.
Video Enables New Levels of Customer Intimacy
I am always on the lookout for examples of "remote" expertise. I believe that video is enabling the transformation in how companies provide services with its ability to deliver a real-time experience anywhere anytime. I came across the following examples in a pfsk report:
Trunk Club They hand-select outfits for you based on your profile (needs, tasks and fits)and send them to your home. Experts can guide you via phone/email/Skype. You can send back anything you don't like. Imagine what this could look like when they can use umi (Cisco's high-definition video conferencing).
plan b Allows you to schedule a remote consultation, a 15-minute session, with a planb master stylist, using SKYPE from your home computer.
Is Digital Face-to-Face the next big thing?
I have little doubt that live video interaction will become more and more mainstream as the technology and ease of connection continues to improve – in other words it becomes more convenient. It's really fairly easy today but only for those of us who have the bandwidth and the technology.
Today, I can jump on a Telepresence call with a push of a button, removing travel. In my personal life I can iChat with my kids from an airplane (see photo) to ease the departure or shorten the feeling of the time of the return trip.
I can also connect to others with my iPhone. First however I have to find a friend with an iPhone 4 that I really want to see and second, we both have to be connected via WiFi. It hasn't become quite convenient enough to have me using it every day. And quite frankly not so compelling because I don't want my friend to see that I'm doing something else while talking to them.
For me the most compelling use of video in my personal life includes:
– Sharing my experiences as they are happening with my family and friends (turn that iPhone around so that it's not pointing at my face). Being at my kids baseball game and sharing his at bat with his Dad who's at work or showing grandma that her grandchild has just learned to swim. Being there in the moment is better than recorded video.
– Not for everyday conversation but to be able to re-connect if we haven't been able to see each other for a while. Connecting to loved ones who are far away or in the hospital.
– Viewing experiences together – I can see the person and the event or what they are looking at. Being able to shop together for a wedding dress or watch a football game so we can see each other enjoying the emotional side of the experience.
The XBOX connect coming November 4th promises some new capabilities that I am eager to experience to see if my hypothesis is true of being able to shop together. It also promise extreme ease of use with voice commands that enable you to speak a persons name to access their phone book entry and start the call with a wave of your hand. That's convenient, that's compelling.

Event Recap: Guru Guidance - Meeting Our Mentors & Mentees!
This fall, we kicked off the 2017–2018 session of Guru Guidance, the SMPS DC chapter's mentorship program. Now in its 10th year, the program pairs marketers at all experience levels, facilitating the exchange of ideas and experiences, as well as the sharing of industry tips and tricks.
In a change from prior years, mentors and mentees were paired prior to the Guru Guidance Kick-off. Rather than serving to determine pairings, this year's event—held at Gilbane in Arlington—gave mentors and mentees the opportunity to get to know each other in a fun, dynamic setting.
We started off the evening with a discussion of the program and the expectations for committing to a regular meeting schedule. Koren Stauffer gave a testimonial of her experience in the program, getting this year's participants excited for the program.
After the announcements, mentor/mentee pairs were invited to rotate through seven stations to participate in a variety of "getting-to-know-you" activities. From classic games like Pictionary, Heads Up!, and Guess The Celebrity, to thought-provoking discussions on personality, career, and communication styles, mentors and mentees spent the evening laughing and talking, and truly developing a solid foundation on which to build a strong relationship.
Special thanks to Abby Harrington and Gilbane for hosting the event, and to our Career Advancement Committee volunteers: Abby, Koren Stauffer, Dayna Powderly, and Patsy Gordon. If you missed this year's application period and want to be added to the Guru Guidance Slack channel, please email Jen McGovern at firstname.lastname@example.com. Or mark your calendar for September 2018, when applications will open for participation in the 2018–2019 program.

It has become nearly impossible to view anything about Germany between the two world wars without taking into account WW II.
An example are the war reparations required by the Treaty of Versailles. These are widely seen as contributors to the dire economic situation of the Weimar Republic, which in turn is seen as a major influence on the rise of National Socialism. But economic historians, among them Niall Ferguson in The Pity of War, have demonstrated that the Germans paid very little of their required reparations, amounting to perhaps two to three percent of the country's national income.
So in fact it wasn't the reparations themselves that torpedoed Germany, but their use as a rallying cry by National Socialists in the face of an economy badly mismanaged by the interwar German government.
Another example: that Versailles was punitive and humiliating. Indeed, German nationalists started with the "Jewish stab in the back" before the ink was even dry on the treaty. However, the idea that a uniquely punitive treaty bore National Socialism may have been inflated (this cause-and-effect trajectory of Versailles to Nazism was promulgated most famously by AJP Taylor in The Origins of the Second World War).
As I just read in Max Egremont's Forgotten Land, the 1917 Treaty of Brest Litovsk, imposed by Germany on the nascent Soviet Union, was severely punitive, yet the brutality of Lenin and the Bolsheviks is not ascribed to the unfavorable treaty. So why are the Germans given this "out?"
Sometimes I wonder if what the Germans perpetrated in WW II was so utterly evil that humanity was left shell-shocked trying desperately to come up with some kind of explanation — when, ultimately, inherent evil is the only one.

Simon Gardner, the lead trumpeter in Dave Arch's BBC Strictly Come Dancing Orchestra, along with his son Tom, has created the Gardner's Candoli – a tribute to trumpeter Conte Candoli.
The father and son will be heading to Swindon's Jazz On The Corner on February 12, when they will be performing a trumpet-led homage to the swingin' West Coast' arrangements from brothers Pete and Conti Candoli.
Simon's first professional gigs were in TV studio orchestras, working on shows like Morecambe and Wise, Surprise Surprise and New Faces in the 1980s.
The trumpeter has performed with some of the biggest names in music such as Frank Sinatra, Paul McCartney, Tony Bennett, Elton John, Spice Girls and Barbra Streisand. He also toured with Buddy Rich, The Who, Tom Jones, Cliff Richard and, more recently, Robbie Williams.
Simon and Tom will be bringing their tribute to The Royal Oak in Swindon's Old Town from 8pm.
The Candoli brothers were some of the most prolific jazz musicians in history, playing with Sammy Davis Jr, Dizzy Gillespie and Sarah Vaughan. Younger brother Conti was a member of The Tonight Show band on Johnny Carson's chat show, and played in all of Frank Sinatra's TV specials.
Organiser of Jazz On The Corner, Evie Em-Jay, said: ''This is an unmissable performance and a real treat for an intimate jazz club. David Newton, the award-winning pianist who joins us for this performance, actually performed with the Candoli brothers in Wiltshire in the 1990s.''
Simon's band also features Denny Ilett on guitar, Will Harris on double bass and Mark Whitlam on drums.
For further information of the free gig call 01793 977337 or visit www.jazzknights.co.uk

How do we enter their world?
As parents we often forget that our children are watching our every move and model our actions, words and behaviours. So, when our lives are altered in a certain way such as parents separating or divorcing, we forget how much they observe and listen to our fighting and arguing. A lot of the time the parents bring sadness, fear and grief into the family by arguing during a separation or divorce and this greatly affects our children's well-being.
Recently I have been working with a few families where the young girls are affected from either a recent split with their family unit or a split awhile back. Most girls have used coping mechanisms such as cutting, overdosing on tablets, hair pulling, rebelling at school, lying, stealing from family. Attention seeking behaviour can be a form of mental disorder, but it can also be a form of manipulation and performing as a direct means of trying to communicate when relationships are broken down.
Most of the girls I am coaching use coping mechanisms to get through each day to deal with their anxiety, angst and hidden traumatic lifestyle that they are currently coping with. Some of these mechanisms consist of distraction, grounding, self-love, emotional release, thought challenge and accessing your higher self. The emotional traumatic events that take place in these girls lives whilst parents fight, sleep separately, move out, find another partner, take more interest in the other partner, fight with the ex, fight for money and possessions, is manic and creates barriers between the whole family unit.
The results of effective communication towards our children/teens are extremely important when we have a split in any relationship this in turn can lead to a better result family unit.
Common effects Separation/Divorce on children:
- Anger and irritability
- Poor performance in Academics
- Feelings of guilt
- Destructive behavior
- Depressed
- Increase in health problems
- Emotionally sensitive
- Loss of interest in social activities
- Difficulty adapting to change
"Care about what they care about" - Charlotte Edwards
Coming from a split family can be difficult for any child and if the parents can work amicably with their ex then it can take the pressures off the family unit. Many teens react differently to grief and will show different behaviours'. When a teens' parent split or divorce it can bring feelings of shame and doubt and they find it hard to trust people to talk to at that age. It doesn't matter how old they are they still need honesty, guidance and constant reassurance that this is not their fault. Release them from all the blame and seek counselling so that their future relationships aren't affected.
How do we assist our teens with their emotions during a family break-up?
- Care about what they care about
- Be their mentor
- Teach respect and boundaries
- Enquire about their concerns and worries
- Eat dinner together without phones
- Ask to hang out together/invite their friends over (and become involved and interested)
- Write a fabulous handwritten note/letter (especially when they don't expect it)
- Pay attention to their emotions
- Have a family/movie/games night/go camping * Become involved in their world
How do we CONNECT with our teens?
Spend quality time with them in their surroundings. Be humorous with them! Enjoy your children/teens for who they are and always listen to them!
It is extremely important to keep structure and a normal routine in their everyday lives, keep a warm family environment with the communication doors always open.
Work around your children when it comes to the days and times that you and your ex-husband/partner get to spend with them. Be flexible and allow for each family's events and sporting activities. Make sure you are on time and are informative to the other parent of each child's necessary requests and requirements. Always be respectful and show the children that although you find it hard to live together you can still be adults and talk respectfully. Don't use the children as a pawn to your own wants and needs and as a way to get your own back on your ex. Early interventions with these teens may have a profound and positive effect on their future endeavors and schooling. Focusing on a positive and strong family unit and promoting a high level of parenting support and communication is crucial to your teens well-being. Facing residential change as a teen can be a huge spiral downwards in their academic achievements.
Remember, parenting is one of the most important responsibilities that we will take upon us and if we need to ask for help or seek guidance then do so.

JW Convicted of Killing Mother and Unborn Baby

The link is blocked in all EEC countries for reasons of data protection.
"In the two days leading up to White's death, a string of text messages revealed White and Jones discussing their unborn child — whom they called Travis — and his impact on their families. They discussed how to talk to their other children about their affair, with Jones writing he "committed a sin" and seeming to struggle with how he would teach his children "fornication is a sin" when that is what he had committed.
"I don't want any of the kids including yours thinking sex before marriage is okay," Jones, a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses denomination, wrote in one text message, according to court papers.
Prosecutors alleged Jones lied to White when he claimed he had informed his family that White was pregnant with his child."
I cant see the body as im in the EU. (Just!) However from what Carla posted it seems as if he worried about the fallout from one 'sin' so much he committed the ultimate in heinious 'sins' against nature....to kill your own child.
As much as I do lay the blame squarely at the perps feet, I cant help but think of that awful elder training video of a JC wherein the guy called in had similarly committed fornication and the woman was pregnant. In the video the elders really tried to blame and demonize the scarlett woman, wonder if something similar happened here and perp took it on board?

Man convicted of killing Cheltenham girlfriend and unborn child; judge imposes two life prison terms
NORRISTOWN — A Philadelphia man showed no emotion as a jury convicted him of fatally stabbing his pregnant girlfriend and killing their unborn child during a "brutal" attack inside the woman's Cheltenham apartment.
Tristian Jones, 36, of the 900 block of East Johnson Street, was convicted on Tuesday in Montgomery County Court of charges of first-degree murder, murder of an unborn child and possessing an instrument of crime in connection with the Feb. 19, 2018, fatal stabbing of Eboney N. White, 31, and her unborn child in her apartment in the 2000 block of Mather Way in the Elkins Park section of Cheltenham.
White was 7½ months pregnant with Jones's child at the time of her death. The fetus did not survive the attack.
White's mother and other relatives wept and hugged each other after the verdict was announced. Grieving relatives described White as "bright, articulate and beautiful," and as a woman who "had everything to live for."

"You didn't have to slaughter her the way you did. She loved you," Ernestine Scott, White's mother, tearfully addressed Jones before the judge imposed his punishment.
The jury deliberated just over two hours before reaching the verdict.
Judge Wendy G. Rothstein, who presided over the trial, immediately sentenced Jones to consecutive life prison terms for the two deaths.
"The jury determined you are a cold blooded killer. There is no justification for your conduct. It was brutal. Both victims deserved better. Both victims deserve justice," Rothstein addressed Jones, adding he appeared to lack remorse.
Jones addressed the courtroom before learning his fate and continued to maintain his innocence.
"I'm just sorry the truth wasn't able to come out today," Jones, seated next to defense lawyer Carrie L. Allman, said, adding, "Eboney was a great person."
Assistant District Attorney Kristen Kemp argued for the consecutive life prison terms against Jones, suggesting such a sentence would be a "symbolic gesture" for the two precious lives that were lost.
"We did not just have one life that was brutally taken by the defendant. We have two," argued Kemp, who was assisted at trial by co-prosecutor Alexandria MacMaster.
Mary Pugh, a victim advocate representing White's 13-year-old daughter, who witnessed a portion of the attack, read a statement from the little girl.
"I knew that there would be justice for my mother," the little girl wrote. "Life without mom is painful."
An investigation began when Cheltenham police responded to White's apartment at 3:20 a.m. Feb. 19 after receiving a 911 call from her then 12-year-old daughter, who had retreated to a bathroom after seeing a man stabbing her mother, according to the criminal complaint filed by county Detective Todd Richard and Cheltenham Detective Ronald Cupo.
Police found White dead in the master bedroom with multiple stab wounds to her torso. White's 12- and 7-year-old daughters, who also were in the apartment, were unharmed.
White's daughter who made the 911 call told authorities she was in bed but was awakened by the sound of screaming. The girl told detectives she went to her mother's bedroom and saw a man, wearing a grey sweatshirt, hood and a mask covering the lower portion of his face, stabbing her mother with a knife.
The girl testified at trial that the killer had a similar build, stance and mannerisms as her mother's boyfriend, whom she referred to as "Mr. Tristian."
Jones did not testify at the trial.
But Allman suggested the child made assumptions about Jones being the killer and that prosecutors had insufficient evidence to prove Jones committed the crime.
Allman also suggested another man White dated in the past and who abused her in the past could be the killer.

When he was interviewed by detectives on Feb. 19, Jones stated that while he is married, he and White had been dating since spring 2017 and she was carrying his child, who was due in early April 2018, according to the arrest affidavit. Jones allegedly said the two had discussed introducing their children to each other on the day of White's death and that she had been "mad" he was not ending his marriage.
In the two days leading up to White's death, a string of text messages revealed White and Jones discussing their unborn child — whom they called Travis — and his impact on their families. They discussed how to talk to their other children about their affair, with Jones writing he "committed a sin" and seeming to struggle with how he would teach his children "fornication is a sin" when that is what he had committed.
"I don't want any of the kids including yours thinking sex before marriage is okay," Jones, a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses denomination, wrote in one text message, according to court papers.
Prosecutors alleged Jones lied to White when he claimed he had informed his family that White was pregnant with his child.
But Allman argued having an affair and lying to a girlfriend or a wife is not a crime and did not make Jones a killer.
Detectives alleged Jones gave inconsistent descriptions of the clothing he had been wearing Feb. 18 and 19 and about his whereabouts around the time of the killing.

Put Those Holiday Blues to Use
In our culture it is understood that you will spend time with the people that you love most at the holidays. But what if you are single or away from your family? Or what if your relationship or marriage is not in a particularly romantic or healthy phase. And then you see one too many 'Every kiss begins with Kay' commercials. The holidays can be lonely, sad, or even depressing.
People Offer You What They Are Able To
Friendships, family, and relationships are challenging. At times our emotional needs are not being met by the various relationships we have. There is a tendency to feel hurt, lonely, or even betrayed.
My current truth is that people are offering you what they are best able to at that given time. If they were able to be a better husband,

As many as six groups are negotiating to buy A1 GP's assets in a bid to relaunch the series.
Everything necessary for a relaunch, including the 20-strong fleet of single-seaters, has been shown to two of those groups. The British-built cars, Ferrari V8 engines and the rights to the A1 GP name are available as a lot after the administrator of A1 GP Operations and the liquidator of A1 GP Holdings joined forces to try to maximize the return from any sale.
"The sale process has started and we are in contact with quite a few people, a number of which are interested with a view of buying the assets to run the series going forward," said David Hampson on behalf of the company marketing the sale, GoIndustry DoveBid. "We have been speaking to a significant number of people for a few weeks, and all have adequate finance to relaunch the series. We are sure of that."
No absolute deadline has been set for a sale of A1 GP as a going concern, but Hampson said that both company's assets are likely to go to auction in three or four weeks if no buyer is found.
A1 GP ended after the premature conclusion of its fourth "winter" season last spring, with the operating company owing creditors £100 million. Original A1 GP boss Tony Teixeria is still talking about trying to revive the series.

It's February again.
With all the doilies and red hearts in the stores and roses on co-workers' desks it can be a tough month for a single person still searching for Prince or Princess Charming.
You may think it's time to just give up.
In fact that may be exactly what you should do. You've heard this advice before. You've heard people say they just stopped worrying about finding someone, and it happened, they fell in love.
I've tried that method in the past to no avail, so I thought they were full of it.
But, this fall I tried a slightly different approach. I made plans to go on with my life. No more waiting around to do the things I'd hoped to do with a romantic interest. I'd do them on my own. If I happened to find somebody, great. If a friend set me up on a date, I'd go. But there would be no more worrying about it or putting things on hold for a mystery man.
I really meant it this time. I decided to leave my romantic destiny to fate.
So with that, I set off for Paris with my friend Susan, who already subscribed to the "if it's meant to be, it will be" approach. I'd been saving Paris for a romantic getaway but never found the right guy to get away with.
When Susan and I arrived at our little bargain hotel, we were greeted by one of the most beautiful vases full of roses and other flowers I'd ever seen. A man she was dating had sent them. They had to cost more than our hotel room.
"Hmmm. Roses," I thought. "She must know what she's talking about."
So that week, when Susan gave me advice about men, I took notes.
One of the funny things she said on that trip was that the good matches always come back.
Coincidentally, when I returned to work, sitting at the top of my e-mail inbox was an e-mail from my first love, a guy I dated 10 years ago.
A friend of his noticed me and pointed out that I was working for Crain's.
I'd lost track of where he was over time and was surprised to find out that he had returned home to Michigan.
As the holidays kicked into gear, we started to date again.
As I write this, things are going very nicely. I walk around with a big smile on my face all the time. But it's OK, because he does, too.
While I don't know the future, I have a good feeling about it.
I think there's a difference between giving up on love, though, and deciding not to wait around for it.
I mean, how likely is it that somebody would just fall out of the sky and into your e-mail inbox? Who could have imagined that? Who knows where you'll meet your match? I say increase the odds by getting out and having fun.
So rather than professing the theory of giving up this February, I profess the theory of living your life to the fullest, because you never know what's headed your way.
In that vein, you can find a whole bunch of suggestions about how to have fun with a date or without one in a new booklet from It's Just Lunch. The It's Just Lunch Guide to Dating in Southeastern Michigan includes suggestions for where to go for everything from a drink after work to skydiving lessons. It also includes some common-sense dating advice. You can find it at local booksellers, or order it from It's Just Lunch at www. itsjustlunch.com.
If you're keeping a more focused search for a romantic match, you also can find a ton of fun activities for singles and others, from group ski trips to happy hour get-togethers sponsored by groups such as The Social Connection, www.the socialconnection.com, and the Ann Arbor Ski Club, www.a2skiclub.org.

Surfer's Ear solutions
Why Is It That Some Surfer's Are So Much More Likely To Get Surfer's Ear Then Others?
Surfer's ear is a common cause of deafness and ear infections in people who surf or sea swim regularly over the course of years. The ear's strange response to the cooling by wind and water is to form tiny bony nodules around the opening. These slowly grow, narrowing the canal and stopping sound getting in and water and debris getting out. This leads to deafness and ear infections. The build up of dirt and dead skin along with prolonged drying time makes for an ideal breeding ground for bugs.
Some surfer's seem to remain free of surfer's ear for many years of surfing. Others find themselves going deaf after only a few years. ZenPlugs decided to conduct some research to find out what was the difference between these groups.
They circulated a survey to surfer's using social media and a hospital newsletter and received 203 responses. They found that people who wore ear plugs for surfing with a surfing cap more than 90% of the time were 17 times less likely to develop surfer's ear. Most people knew that they needed to wear ear plugs to prevent the condition but unfortunately most did not know that a surfing cap was also needed. This is because the cooling effect of the wind and water has the same effect on the bone behind the ear. It is called the mastoid and contains air cells which communicate with the middle ear space.
Surfers who wore their hat and plugs for more than 90% of the time remained free of the condition when the survey was done. In some cases this was more than 23 years.
Summary. If you want to remain free of surfer's for more than 20 years make sure you wear your hat and plugs more than 90% of the time.

Fake news and cyber security
Why thinking clearly about security is so hard…
Just what is the cost of unfettered connected-device growth?…
"If it's smart, it's vulnerable". So says 'Hypponen's Law', an aphorism coined in 2016 by Mikko Hyppönen, chief research officer at Finnish cyber security company F-Secure.
While that internet-connected coffee machine might seem like a great front reception area gimmick, mindless proliferation of less-than-smart devices might be making a bigger mess than we realise.
Hyppönen says that long term consequences of ubiquitous insecure connectivity is a disaster already in motion.
"Asbestos," he stated while speaking to the press in Helsinki recently, "was such a great innovation. It looked like a miracle material, originally.
"Such a great innovation, which then decades later turned out to be the worst innovation."
"This is what our kids will hate us for."
Hyppönen was drawing a parallel between the infamous cancer-causing insulation material which now has to be painstakingly removed – at great cost and inconvenience – everywhere its discovered. The unmindful pursuit of 'connectivity everywhere' could have similar consequences, he argues.
He might have a point. The number of connected devices that are in use worldwide currently exceeds 17 billion, seven billion of which are IoT devices in particular, and it's that category that's growing the fastest.
"Global connection growth is mainly driven by IoT devices – both on the consumer side as well as on the enterprise/B2B side," says IoT market insights company, IoT Analytics.
"The number of IoT devices that are active is expected to grow to 10 billion by 2020 and 22 billion by 2025. This number of IoT devices includes all active connections and does not take into consideration devices that were bought in the past but are not used anymore."
The company estimates that the total IoT market will reach $1.6 billion by 2025.
And as the speed of proliferation increases so too does the number of low-value connections, Hyppönen says.
"As connectivity becomes cheaper and cheaper, eventually, it's not going to be just smart things going online, it's going to be stupid things… things consumers don't really need to be online.
"Everything will become a computer and right now this seems like an excellent idea to many of the companies in this business.
"It's not the first [instance of], technology taking us to the wrong direction. So I think this is dangerous. It's very dangerous for our privacy. It's dangerous for our security.
"This is going to be the IT asbestos of the future. This is what our kids will hate us for."
It's clear Hyppönen has a gift for a pithy soundbite, but he's also got a point.
And right now we're at the thin end of the wedge. Connectivity is becoming cheaper and as manufacturers of internet-connected smart devices rush to meet the market, insecure technology is flooding the market.
Also rushing to meet the market are those that would exploit the opportunity provided by proliferating, insecure connected tech.
In the first half of this year Kaspersky set up 50 IoT 'honeypots' – networks of virtual copies of various internet connected devices and applications – and detected more than a 100 million attacks on IoT devices from more than a quarter of a million unique IP addresses.
That's a big number, but more dramatic is year-on-year increase: Nine times as many such attacks occurred in the first half of 2019 than in 2018.
That's the bad news. So what's to be done?
In the short term, we can start by brushing up on the basics. That can be as easy as updating a default password, says Dan Demeter, security researcher at Kaspersky Lab.
"IoT is a fruitful area for attackers that use even the most primitive methods, like guessing password and login combinations.
"This [kind of hacking] is much easier than most people think: The most common combinations by far are usually 'support/support', followed by 'admin/admin', 'default/default'. It's quite easy to change the default password, so we urge everyone to take this simple step towards securing your smart devices."
As for the longer term problem – a growing infrastructure of billions of insecure IT devices – that's a harder question and one that will likely involve a long road of increasing regulation from government, standardisation from industry and a new focus on end-to-end security approaches from manufacturers themselves.

This past weekend, Market Hall hosted Public Energy's Third Annual Wearable Art Show, featuring the Runway Challenge. The event incorporated dance and theatre with a fashion twist.
Public Energy is "an animator of contemporary dance, theatre, performance and interdisciplinary work." This fashion event showcased dance, art, and catwalk performances from the young and old, the designers and the models, from all different backgrounds and featured their work in an innovative way.
Not only was there a wearable art show and a runway challenge, but also a silent auction and a raffle. The auction and the prizes were impressive (the silent auction included a two-week holiday to Mexico!), enticing people to enjoy their time and spend some of their "lovely money."
The intention of the Wearable Art show was not only to raise money, but also to bridge a gap between the visual art and performance communities, and between dancers and models.
Public Energy's Artistic Director Bill Kimball told Arthur that the show was a way of "inciting creativity, as artists are challenged to make outfits out of unconventional materials."
To get the audience revved up for the creative night, The Dream Players performed a glowing show, which incorporated both art and dance (the show was literally glowing – the stage was lit-up by neon paint and colours).
The Wearable Art catwalk included a range of performances. This included children who had designed their own outfits from recycled and non-conventional material, to models showcasing a designer's creative work. Strutt Central Students' kids and teens both created and modelled their pieces. It seemed like it took a lot of guts to strut down the catwalk at such a young age, but the models were unphased.
For example, Isabelle Surette created a piece titled "Beauty in Bloom." When asked what inspired her creation she said, "Spring, I love spring, so I did a spring dress. I loved the preparation of it. After you've been on the stage, you wish it could last forever. "
Another young model/designer, Elizabeth Larson, commented about her piece, "Hippie Chick", "We just thought it'd be cool to have something poofy, so we decided bubble wrap."
The Runway Challenge included six performances, and was created by local designers and artists who had teamed up with a local business to create an outfit made from only the materials their company could provide. No fabric was allowed!
Some of the most memorable performances included artist Wendy Trusler's designs, who had teamed up with Pammett's Flower Shop to create a very clever, very funny, sketch of a "tree man" (model David Russell) trying to entice a beautiful "flower lady" (model Alex Saul) with the sticks and flowers he had on his back.
Another artist, Vicky Paradisis, choreographed a fantastic show using materials from the Lakefield Pantry. Models Rachael Terrion, Shovaan Burke, and Alicia Evans slunk around the stage in a sultry manner in their gorgeous outfits made mostly out of coffee beans (that was a whole lot of coffee beans).
Arthur's own Tori Silvera turned the event into an "edible wearable art show" with a piece made from apple fruit leather. During the intermission, these ladies offered the fruit to audience members, which was a tasty bonus.
The atmosphere in the Market Hall was electric, in part due to Public Energy's General Manager and emcee for the evening, Laurel Paluck. Her cheeky comments and enthusiastic personality was performance in itself.
The runway performances were sometimes slightly imperfect, which made them all the more enjoyable and entertaining. This further bridged the community by making the event accessible to all who were involved.
Title of piece: Pennies to Heaven
Designer: Heidi Den Hartog
I had some friends last year who were in it and I came to the show last year and I thought it was great. So, I decided to do something this year. I'm a copper enamel artist, so it was right up my alley. The show was the same week as the demise of the penny, and I thought, bing, that's what I'm going to do.
Title of piece: Underwater Goddess
Designer: Ilona Peel
I would say it took about 36 hours to make this piece. I started with some PVC piping and some duct tape and that's where it went.
My model, actually, we do interpretive dance together. She moves a lot like I do and we have that similar communication.

The Politics of Place in McDonagh's The Pillowman
"McDonagh's removal of a location becomes a significant dramatic choice."
Andrew Flynn, Artistic Director of Decadent Theatre Company.
The Pillowman (2003) by Martin McDonagh is seen as the odd man out among his plays. Why so? It's because The Pillowman lacks any mention of a defined, geographical place and, considering the rest of plays, one would expect this to be a clue to the intention behind storytelling of Martin McDonagh.
The Oeuvre of McDonagh and their Sociocultural Settings
The overwhelming majority of Martin McDonagh's work possess the name of a real, terrestrial place – The Beauty Queen of Leenane, The Cripple of Inishmaan, The Lieutenant of Inishmore, A Skull in Connemara, A Behanding in Spokane. Unlike the bare title of The Pillowman, the titles of these pieces places the reader in the spatial surroundings of the plot, almost instantaneously.
Geographical specificity expresses themselves in these pieces in every respect. The people's names, for example, in A Skull in Connemara are Gaelicized: there is Mairtin, Maryjohnny, Mick and Tomas – character names don't get any more Irish than that. Language is another important element that signifies locality. The Irish idiom, our colloquialisms and the Gaelic tongue are used throughout all his plays, apart from A Behanding in Spokane set in America.
McDonagh's The Pillowman dispenses with the concept of location in this virtuoso demonstration of storytelling. For McDonagh, the sociocultural environment is unimportant. The story requires only the knowledge of modern power systems, interpersonal settings, and institutions such as the church, family, and government for its impact.
The Pillowman : Setting the Scene
The Pillowman's title, setting and character references give no geographical or sociocultural coordinates. There is no locality to the title of The Pillowman. And the backdrop of the performance is simply the cold, murky and paranoid underworld of an unnamed totalitarian state. In the playtext, McDonagh only sites two locations to be definitively staged in performance, an interrogation room with a cell next door and Katurian and Michal's childhood bedrooms.
Katurian – or, to give the character his full name, Katurian Karturian Katurian ("My parents were funny people," he explains) – and his older, mentally disabled brother, Michal, are the two main characters in The Pillowman. The siblings are in adjacent, colourless cells, where they are being interrogated by Tupolski, the so-called "good cop" with a grievous past, and his "bad cop" partner, the aggressive Ariel. The monikers perhaps suggest an Eastern European locale at a time of totalitarian misrule. However, Ariel and Katurian sound almost Shakespearean. One thing is for sure: you cannot be certain where the play is set.
Why is the setting in The Pillowman such a big issue?
Well, if there is no consistency in the setting of The Pillowman, the question is: what is it then that holds the play together? Clearly, it is the power of story and the manner in which it transcends its physical, sociocultural, and political surroundings. As Miriam Haughton ('Merging Worlds', Focus 2012) writes:
"McDonagh unleashes a tragedy that is informed and influenced by the prevailing structures associated with these places, not the places themselves. The Pillowman critiques the ideas that serve human exchange and manage social interaction; the structures and practices of the family, law and nation and all their associated myths, traditions and dogma that haunt the places they embody."
The Pillowman does not identify a country, culture or a society but presents established institutional places for action to unfold in and for audiences to decode. McDonagh's dark dramatization of these places questions the pervasive power in these mundane structures. The Pillowman attempts to question the histories and narratives that have informed the management of places – the family home, the police station or Michal's "special school" – and the behavioral tendencies resulting from our perception of space.
The Pillowman will open in Galway Town Hall Theatre and 19th February, in the Gaiety Theatre on March 2nd , The Everyman on March 16th, and in The Lyric on the 24th of March in 2015.

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are medical condition mostly caused by work related occupations and working environment, affecting patients' muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and nerves and developing over time. A community sample of 73 females and 32 males aged 85 and over underwent a standardised examination at home. Musculoskeletal pain was reported by 57% of those interviewed. A major restriction of joint movement range was frequent in the shoulder but uncommon in other joints(1).

2. Gout
3. Rheumatoid Arthritis
4. Polymalagia Arthritis
5. Cervical myleopathy and spinal canal stenosis
6. Osteoporosis
7. Low back pain
8. Fibromyalgia
Osteoarthritis (OA), a form of arthritis, is defined as a condition of as a result of aging causes of wear and tear on a joint, affecting over 25 million people in the United States in alone. University of Porto Medical School indicated that one must understand the differences in prevalence and incidence estimates of osteoarthritis (OA), according to case definition, in knee, hip and hand joints(3).
The characteristics of osteoarthritis are aching pain(5), stiffness(6), or difficulty of moving the joint or joints(7). The pain usually gets worse in change of weather, at night and in the advanced diseases, the pain can occur even at rest(8). Today management of osteoarthritis (OA) focuses on pain relief and improved physical function through pharmacological, non pharmacological, and surgical treatments(4).
Surgery only necessary if symptoms persist, depending on several factors, including the location and severity of OA damage, patient characteristics and risk factors.(265).
Joint replacement is a surgical procedure of orthopedic surgery to relief pain and to place the damaged joint surfaces(272). Over 1 million surgical procedure have been perform in elective total knee and hip replacements annually in the United States alone(273). According to study, over 70 % of patients who received rapid mobilization of total joint replacement patients recover safely and reduced the overall length of hospital stay(274).
Joint replacement is considered as a treatment only for patients with severe joint pain or dysfunction that can not be alleviated by non invasive treatments. But, according to Odense University Hospital, hip replacement can be postponed in patients with severe hip osteoarthritis if patients participate in a education and supervised exercise program(275).
