In Summa Elvetica Beale brings us a delightfully speculative what-if scenario: what if the Catholic Church (or something very like it) existed in a fantasy world in which dwelt non-human intelligent races like orcs, trolls, and elves?
At some point in such a world the leading ecclesiastics would have to wrestle with the question of whether or not these demi-humans have souls and therefore ought to be the subject of evangelization by the Church.
Summa Elvetica is the story of the young priest whom the Church assigns to investigate the matter. Along the way toward his conclusion, he falls in love with an Elven princess and finds himself in the middle of a racially motivated war.
More than the curiosities of high clerics hang in the balance as he comes to declare what he discovers to be God's will about whether or not elves have souls.
Personifid Invasion
by R.E. Bartlett
The Personifid Invasion is set in a possible future Earth. We [humans] are in the process of discarding the natural body and shifting to artificial versions of ourselves—"personifids."
The story follows adult siblings Aphra and Antha as they look for their long-lost sister. There's just one problem—the sister resides in San Edhem, a city renowned for being overrun by "interterrestrials." This means the personifids there may or may not be inhabited by humans.
It's all a little dicey, and requires perception to know what's
Hero, Second Class
by Mitchell Bonds
Hero, Second Class is a delightful roast of all the fantasy fiction elements we hold dear. It is said that only someone who loves something can truly lampoon it. So it is in this case. Bonds' novel is a riot.
Quest with Cyrus, our your protagonist who aspires to be a Hero. But Heroes have a guild, you see, and lots of rules. One has to pay one's dues, apprentice to a Hero in good standing, and comport oneself as befits a member of the Heroes Guild.
Cyrus is fortunate to be serving his apprenticeship during a True Crisis, during which an Arch Villain is on the loose. An ambitious hero-in-training could make quite a name for himself during such times.
Cyrus's progress toward achieving his next level in the Heroes Guild is complicated by a wise-cracking dragon, a self-narrating knight, a droll zombie, and an attractive young woman who also happens to kind of be a cat.
On top of it all, Cyrus is discovering he has strange, non-standard-issue magical powers that definitely don't fit into his plans. And the Arch Villain (along with sundry Villains Guild members) has suddenly taken an intense personal interest in our plucky young protagonist.
If Cyrus isn't careful, he's not going to live long enough to become a Hero of any class.

Jeff Gerke Interview
want MLP to be the premier publisher of Christian speculative fiction."
-- Jeff Gerke
Jeff entered the Christian publishing industry as a novelist, under the pen name Jefferson Scott. His first novels were near-future technothrillers, firmly within the realm of Christian speculative fiction. His next three novels were part of the Christian military thriller series called Operation: Firebrand. He also co-wrote a nonfiction title with Ryan Dobson during this time. Be Intolerant went on to sell over 94,000 copies and made Jeff a best-selling author.
Jeff spearhead the launch of Realms, the only Christian fiction imprint to specialize in speculative fiction. He has worked at Multnomah & Navpress as an acquisitions editor.
In September 2006 he launched WhereTheMapEnds.com, one of the premier sites on the Web for Christian fantasy and science fiction. This is where Jeff operates his book doctoring and editing enterprise. He has also developed a rigorous system for creating memorable characters for fiction, called Character Creation for the Plot-First Novelist.
Jeff lives in Colorado Springs with his wife and family. He holds degrees from film school and seminary. He drinks Mountain Dew, plays the acoustic guitar, loves Battlefield 2 online, and cheers himself hoarse for the Dallas Cowboys. He is a popular teacher at Christian writing conferences. Whenever he has a moment and a creative spark he noodles on his current writing project, an epic fantasy.
C.J.: When did the idea to create your own publishing company first come to you?
Jeff: Probably in my last year or two at Christian publishing houses. I was very frustrated that Christian speculative fiction didn't sell better, even when we did manage to get some published. I finally realized that it wasn't the product, but the audience that was the issue. The core CBA fiction demographic doesn't want weird fiction about alien vampire mutants.
When I had that revelation, I started thinking about what a publishing company would look like that could get that kind of fiction to the people who wanted it.
What sort of challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?
Hundreds. Thousands. Everything from choosing the books to creating a contract to registering from a sales tax license to getting credit card authorization software to work with shopping cart software. I think this question may be too broad to answer in an interview like this.
Share with us the vision for Marcher Lord Press.
I want MLP to be the premier publisher of Christian speculative fiction. I want it to find its audience and be able to supply that audience with the best the genre has to offer for many years to come.
How is your model different from other small presses?
I don't charge my authors, for one thing. I'm putting up the money for the books. Many small presses are vanity presses, and mine is not.
I don't try to get MLP books into bookstores, for another. It's an online model similar to Amazon.com, but I'm also creating the product purchased on the site.
My covers are way better than those seen by most small presses. (Editor's Note: Marcher Lord Press' first three novel covers were designed by the talented Kirk Douponce of Dog Eared Design.)
What is your definition of Christian speculative fiction?
Anything weird. From a Christian worldview.
Why do you think the CBA market at large hasn't yet fully embraced Christian speculative novels?
Because the white, Evangelical, American soccer moms and empty nesters who read CBA fiction aren't interested in "anything weird." They like what they like (chick lit, women's fiction, romance, etc.) and they don't really want much of anything else.
CBA publishers do a great job of reaching this demographic. They're wise to give this demographic what it wants. They're wise to not give this demographic what it has shown again and again it doesn't want.
Until and unless the core CBA fiction demographic changes, the CBA industry will never truly embrace speculative fiction, imo.
What would you suggest readers do to help spread the word about this emerging genre?
For one thing, help support a new press just starting up! Show your support by buying books. Otherwise I won't be able to do this more than a season or two. Then people will have to go back to complaining that no publishers ever put out the kind of fiction they like.
It will also help to just share the books and loan them out and tell people about them. Word of mouth will be great.
Do books in the Marcher Lord Press line need to have a blatant spiritual takeaway or are you shooting more for Christian worldview novels?
I need to know they're Christian. I need to be able to identify them as Christian in some sense. I'm not much for heavy-handedness, but I'm also not one for being wimpy about Christian content. But, no, you won't turn to the back cover and read, "Moral taught: honesty." :)
I hear there are some very cool prizes you're giving away on launch date, October 1st. Share with our readers what they could win and how they can enter.
I've got something like 40 prizes to give away. I've got a leather-bound 50th anniversary edition of Lord of the Rings, three numbered and signed canvas prints by space artist Frank Hettick, a full autographed set of Jerry B. Jenkins' latest series, and much more. But the best is the grand prize: a trip for two to the 2009 Comic-CON convention in San Diego. Trust me, this prize completely thrills my target audience.
You enter by going to www.MarcherLordPress.com and registering. Better hurry, though. The drawing is October 1.
It pays to be at the site on October 1. If you purchase a MLP novel on Launch Day you'll receive a free download of the nonfiction e-book, Into the Breach: The Marcher Lord in History. And if you buy two or more MLP novels on Launch Day you'll also receive a free download of the art e-book called A Marcher Lord Gallery. Both are incredible and will cost $5 and $15 respectively after October 1. But you can get them for free on Launch Day.
Besides being a publisher and editor you're also a novelist yourself. Any chance we'll be seeing more of your fiction on the market soon? :)
It could happen. [grin] One of the things I'm doing here is creating the ultimate publisher for Jefferson Scott fiction! I've got an epic fantasy that would certainly fit in…
Who is your favorite character of all time in speculative fiction? Why?
Luke Skywalker. He's me, or me as I'd like to be. A holy warrior with a high calling, magical abilities, and a just cause.
Jeff, you're one busy man! You're a husband, father, writer, publisher, and editor? How do you find balance in your life?
At this point I'm probably out of balance. The last 6 weeks have been crazy as I've prepared for the launch. But I'm looking forward to getting back into my rhythm come mid-October or so.
The prayer is that MLP will begin to do well enough that I'll be able to drop my part-time job and cut way back on my full-time job, to the point where I can do only MLP and my own fiction. Ah…dreams.
If you could sit down and have a cup of coffee (or Mountain Dew!) with the top dogs in Christian publishing, what would you want to tell them about Christian speculative fiction?
At this point I've kind of left CBA behind. For 12 years I tried working within the industry to try to get more space for Christian speculative fiction. That's a long time to be so frustrated. When I finally realized what I mentioned above about the core CBA demographic, it was actually quite freeing. I didn't need to turn that ship around. I could just let it go on its merry way without me.
I know there are a few CBA houses watching Marcher Lord Press to see how it does. But I've given up hoping that what I do will have an industry-wide impact. I'm trying to reach readers that CBA houses have more or less disenfranchised, after all.
I do enjoy helping CBA industry folks understand what Christian speculative fiction is, but I'm no longer trying to get them to like it.
Which were better, the original Star Wars movies or the prequels?
In terms of story and archetypal impact, by far the original trilogy. In terms of technological brilliance, the latter. Episode IV is my favorite movie of all time.
What are two things people might be surprised to know about you?
I don't read much fiction for pleasure.
I love Mountain Dew and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (but not together).
When you're not writing or editing, what do you enjoy doing?
I play computer games. Battlefield 2, Company of Heroes, and Madden Football being among my favorites.
What did you eat for breakfast this morning?
Cold cereal and orange juice. Always. This morning it was Golden Grahams.
Three things always found in your refrigerator:
Mountain Dew, orange juice, fruit.
You're next in line at Starbucks. What are you ordering?
I'm not next in line because I despise coffee. I'm in line at someplace that offers Mountain Dew.
What's left unchecked in your "goals for life" list?
Start a business [grin]. Complete my epic fantasy. Complete our adoption from China. Take my wife to Paris. Move to the coastal redwoods.
When was the last time you cried?
You must interview women a lot! I got teary eyed last week when I was trying to encourage a writer whose hopes had been dashed by a publishing decision. I got teary eyed when I was telling someone that our yet-to-be-adopted daughter is somewhere in China right now—and did she cry today because she knew she had no father?
Right now I'm about to cry from sheer exhaustion.
Three words that best describe you:
Mastermind, encourager, authentic.
What's currently in your CD player/iPod?
I have this brilliant mix of dissimilar things, all playing in random
shuffle. I have all my favorite Michael Card songs, four Scripture memory
CDs, both Celtic Woman CDs, the entire soundtrack of Lord of the Rings,
and the soundtrack to the miniseries and first season of the new Battlestar
Galactica. Beautiful.

Your cousins aren't just called your cousins for no reason. There are actually quite a few hereditary traits which could create similarities with cousins. Read ahead to understand how genes pass on and how much DNA you share with your blood relatives.
What are Genes
Genes are made of DNA. They exist throughout your body. They are like a set of instructions that determine the organism's appearance, how it acts, behaves and survives. Genes are a part of DNA which are responsible for making proteins. Many strands of DNA along with genes make up chromosomes which are located in the nucleus of cells.
Similarities among Cousins
Take a look at the family tree to understand how many genes you actually may have in common with your cousins.
Your first cousins could have about 12.5% of the genes that you have. This means that 87.5% of the genes between you and your cousins.
A rare phenomenon seen in some families known as elusive double cousin is where two siblings of one family reproduce with two siblings of another family. This causes the children to be related to each other through both parents. Double cousins share the same grandparents and are genetically equal to half siblings. They share almost double of the genetic material seen in first cousins.
How Genes are Passed on
Through generations, genes are shuffled and reshuffled. Half of your genes come from your mother and the other half from your father. In turn, your parents inherited their genes from their parents. This means that about one quarter of your genes come from your grandparents. Let's look at how this works. Each egg and each sperm contains 23 chromosomes each. When they meet during conception, they combine to become a full component with 46 chromosomes. This forms the genetic blueprint of the baby. Out of the 23 chromosomes, one of them is the sex chromosomes. This means that the gender of the baby is determined at conception. Each egg contains an X chromosome. While the sperm can contain either an X or a Y chromosome. If two X chromosomes combines, the baby is a girl, whereas if one X and Y chromosomes combine, the baby is a boy.

Bitcoin staged something of a recovery Tuesday, rising 6% to claw back some of the loses of the past two weeks, while Arthur Hayes at BitMEX is kicking Ethereum while it's down. However, altcoins are bouncing back strongly today.
If bitcoin and the rest of the crypto market is to go higher from here then much greater momentum needs to be seen.
The news flow has been pretty good for bitcoin, with evidence of institutional interest growing and regulators indicating they plan to take a pro-innovation tack when it comes to oversight, with an emphasis on keeping individual investors safe.
What will move the price higher?
Undoubtedly the delay to a decision on the VanEck Solid X exchange traded fund was responsible for the latest episode of the downtrend following July's false start to a renewed bull run. Those hopes were overdone in the first place, but once the expectation has been let loose it is hard to think of news that could be as market-moving as a bitcoin ETF approval. So what will drive the market higher?
Part of the answer to that question comes down to: what is an attractive entry point? In that regard, prices in the $5,000-6,000 range should be seen as "buy the dip" territory, although there are many doing that already if today's mini-bounce is anything to go by.
From Willy Woo to BitMEX's Arthur Hayes, there are plenty of respected analysts who see better days ahead for bitcoin but not before the cryptocurrency falls closer to $5,000.
BitMEX's Hayes sees Ethereum at double digits
But good news for bitcoin is not necessarily a good thing for alts. Hayes for one thinks Ethereum could be about to implode. Hayes argues in his newsletter to BitMEX clients that ether prices have been artificially inflated by initial coin offerings and that venture capital firms that bought into to many of the more popular ICOS may start offloading their Ethereum-compliant tokens, pushing Ethereum back into double-digit pricing.
However, alts are fighting back today. Ethereum is up 16% as it climbs back above $300. Other hard-hit alts bouncing back strongly are Ripple up 15% to $0.297, EOS 12% higher at $4.85, Dash has come back 19%, rising to $161, and NEO is 20% the better at $17.42.
In other news, as of Monday the Petro must be used as a unit of account by the state oil company of Venezuela, the PDVSA. Japanese messaging giant LINE has set up a token venture fund. It will have initial funding of $10 million. BitBox, the crypto exchange owned by LINE, also announced that it was listing the TRX token of the Tron network, pushing its price 17% higher to $0.020.

The Wishing Map
Chapter Sixteen: Fisher Folk and Naims (Cont'd)
Previously: Zack began telling the "story" he saw in a plank of rainbowood.
⇔ ⇔ ⇔
Tuber whacked Zack on the shins and said, "Finish the story!"
"Well…" Zack continued, "…the only person brave enough to go there and try to take the piece of sun out of the pond was Zachary Zinn."
"Aha! I knew it!" Bulgy blasted. "Who's 'Zaggyzim?'"
"Who is Zachary Zinn?"
"Aye! Who? Who?" the naims asked, their mouse-like ears and button eyes intent on everything Zack said and did.
"Well, he's…he's kinda me, actually," Zack admitted, "but—"
"Aye! Look!" Noddie pointed at Zack's Green Lantern hoodie. "It's Zaggyzim holding up the sun piece he took from the Pond a' Steam!"
Zack looked down at his hoodie, chuckled, and then, plagiarizing shamelessly, said, "Oh, yeah, that's the lantern I carried it in. The yellow power made me afraid at first, but then I used green Starheart power—which is the power of imagination—to overcome it, because imagination can overcome anything!"
"Traith!" the naims cried. "Traith!"
A little boy named Bud was squirming around in the middle of the table, giggling and making "kushooooong!" sounds. Others were tittering and poking him, saying, "Ooooooo, this little piece a' the sun is so hot!"
"Here, Zaggyzim," Sniggle (the boy's father) said, "take this piece a' the sun away before it burns us!" Noddie (the boy's mother) helped toss him into Zack's arms.
Zack was caught off guard for a moment, but the boy, who was precisely the same size and level of excitability as a squirrel, was utterly delighted. So Zack carried him over to the smaller meeth bowl, complaining, "Woah! You're piping hot!" and "Ow! Stop burning my fingers!" The boy giggled wildly. Zack pretended to pull him out of the bowl and then, putting him up on one shoulder, said, "ZZ called for his faithful steed, Fury, the demon stallion from Hell!"
"Look!" a naim said, pointing at a black horse-like shape on the plank, "There he is!"
"Yes! Look!" others shouted.
"And then they rode up into the sky," Zack continued, "past the moon…"
"I see it!" said Tuber, stepping away from the Bulgy clique and pointing at a roundish white shape on the plank. It was more than mere excitement for the old naim, it was a spiritual awakening! Bulgy scowled, annoyed at the loss of Tuber's fealty.
"When they got there, ZZ threw the piece back into the sun where it came from!" Zack tossed the giggling child into the waiting arms of half a dozen two-foot high adults.
The naims began pounding the table, cheering, "Hey-fah! Hey-fah for Master Zaggyzim!"
"Hey-fah!" Zack echoed, settling onto a four inch high bench. The naims had pink faces and pointy noises that, along with their upturned ears and black button eyes, gave them a decidedly mouse-like appearance. They wore fingerless gloves and toeless shoes. Some were bald and swarthy, with permanent dirt stains on their faces; the women of this type wore smudgy little caps with their hair pulled up inside. But others had headfuls of russet hair and light airy garments; and the women of this type wore lidless caps that made their hair stick up like vermillion paintbrushes.
"So, you guys like to make up stories, huh?" asked Zack.
There was a moment of silence as if he'd asked the silliest question anyone had ever heard, and then Bulgy, the group's self-appointed spokes-naim, said, "On'y more'n we likes ter eat or sleep!"
Hearty communal guffaws followed. Several naims tugged on Zack's earlobes—which they had to jump to reach—a universal sign of naimish affection.
"Everything begins with Story" Tuber said. All of the naims nodded.
"But its play an' pretend as makes a story real!" added Sniggle.
"Traith!" many responded.
The naim-boy, Bud, climbed up onto Zack's lap and pleaded, "Nuther story, Uncle Zaggyzim! Nuther story!"
"Hey-fah for Master Zaggyzim, the greaty-est storysmith as ever was!" heralded Tuber, and every naim in the room echoed "Hey-fah for Master Zaggyzim!"
Zack smiled. He'd finally found a race of perfect adults.

Our doors are closed, but we're still able to post books to you!
With The Girl Who Fell From The Sky, Simon Mawer has written a tense, gripping story of wartime intelligence and love. Marian Sutro is an outsider: the daughter of a diplomat, naive yet too clever for her own good. Now recruited to go undercover in wartime France, her official mission demands that she must act as a Resistance courier.
The Girl Who Fell From The Sky is hugely evocative of the streets of wartime Paris, and the dangerous excitement of avoiding the Gestapo. It is not only a pacy and thrilling story of jeopardy and adventure, but a moving meditation on patriotism, betrayal and the limits of love. A worthy successor to the much-acclaimed The Glass Room.

[b]Swim with a Whale Sharks[/b] Holbox Travel offers a unique and unforgettable chance to coexist with these magnificent creatures,our friends the whale sharks in Holbox Island Mexico. The whale shark is the largest fish existing in the ocean today; they can grow to be up to 50 feet (15m) in length. The whale shark prefers waters of warm surface temperature, in areas where there are upwellings of nutrient rich colder water - these conditions favor blooms of plankton on which the sharks feed. These precise conditions are found year and again, every summer in the waters of Holbox Island. This protein-rich habitat is equally ideal for schools of Jacks, manta rays and dolphins.
The whale shark is a shark, not a whale. Its name refers to the whale shark's impressive size and unique feeding habits. It normally feeds on or just below the surface by filtering small planktonic organisms out of the water through its baleen (a built-in hair-like structure replacing teeth). Whale sharks are viviparous animals and babies are often seen with their mothers.
Whale sharks are very docile creatures and when approached by snorkelers or divers hardly notice the visit. Our boats leave the beach every morning from June to the end of September and are back after a bit more than 5 hours. During the whale shark tour you will see dolphins, manta rays, sea turtles and an assorted variety of fish and bird species that live in the surroundings of Holbox Island, Mexico. It is important that you, our guest, know that to conduct the whale shark tour, Holbox Travel uses its own boats, equiptment and thoroughly-trained guides. We guarantee the best service on Holbox Island at the best price. Many years of experience and the many people who have enjoyed our whale shark tour speak for themselves. Rest assured that you will have an unforgetable time with Holbox Travel.


text: I recently attended the ARBO National Meeting in Denver, Colorado. The mission of the Association of Regulatory Boards of Optometry is to represent and assist member licensing agencies in regulating the practice of optometry for the public welfare. Currently, ARBO's membership consists of 66 regulatory boards throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. We provide programs to accredit optometric continuing education courses, to track and audit the CE attendance of licensed optometrists and to assist with license mobility. The goal is also to be a conduit for sharing information among licensing boards to help them increase efficiency and decrease costs. This was a great opportunity for me to interact with my regulatory colleagues discussing hot topics and shared concerns in the regulatory community. Serving on the Tennessee Board of Optometry enabled me to attend this meeting with a few of my fellow board members. The main goal of the Optometry Board is to serve the public and keep our public safe by ensuring our State optometrist are licensed and maintain competency and practice within the scope of our Tennessee laws and statues. My take home from this meeting is that the profession is expanding and forever changing and we as regulators must be ready for changes. Torrey J. Carlson, O.D.

Beware of the Canada Revenue Agency scam
It's happening all over Canada.
In Tillsonburg, as recently as last Wednesday, Ms. Bamford discovered a person she knew in town had received two calls that same day, both saved on their answering machine.
"He says, 'This is a call from the Canada Revenue Agency to notify you that we have an arrest warrant out for you. Please call the following number or we will be forced to issue that arrest warrant immediately.
"Usually they call as an unknown number or private number, but they made a mistake this morning and it showed their number," said Bamford. "The phone number they give us is an Ontario number…
"According to the Canada Revenue Agency (they) target random numbers, random areas, but there has been an increase in our area. I called to find out what I could do. There's a lot of retirees here, there's a lot of people in town that may not understand what's going on. I'm worried they may think it's actually for real.
"The scam is 'you provide the money' or 'the arrest warrant will be issued' and you'll be arrested before the end of the day.
"I've been the recipient of the same message about a month ago," said Bamford, "but they've just started up here again so we wanted to get the message out."
Two weeks ago the Ontario Provincial Police Norfolk County Detachment issued a warning after a resident of Norfolk County fell victim to a similar Canada Revenue Agency scam.
A call was received from a male indicating that a criminal investigation had been conducted and arrest warrants were being prepared stemming from overdue taxes owed to the government. A request for immediate payment was made at which time approximately $5,000 in iTunes cards were purchased and the identification numbers provided.
The OPP urged all residents to HANG UP the phone if they should receive a call from anyone claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agency threatening to arrest you. The fraudsters attempt to get people to send money and gain valuable personal information.
"We want all of our residents to be extremely vigilant when receiving phone calls or e-mails from someone claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agency or a police service inquiring about personal information and demanding payment on behalf of the Canada Revenue Agency," said Constable Ed Sanchuk in a media release. "These types of calls are designed to create anxiety and complete shock for the unsuspecting resident resulting in personal and financial information being disclosed."
The OPP provided the following general guidelines:
* The CRA will not request personal information of any kind from a taxpayer by email.
* The CRA will not divulge taxpayer information to another person unless formal authorization is provided by the taxpayer.
* The CRA will not leave any personal information or threatening messages on an answering machine.
And when in doubt, ask yourself the following:
Am I expecting any calls from the CRA?
Does this sound too good to be true?
Is the requester asking for information I would not include with my tax return? Is the requester asking for information I know the CRA already has on file for me? How did the requester get my email address (or phone number)? Am I confident I know who is asking for the information?
The following link to the Canada Revenue Agency website will assist in recognizing this scam, and others, that are plaguing Canadians www.craarc.gc.ca/nwsrm/lrts/2015/l150610-eng.html.
The website will provide an online means of reporting and offers great tips so that you do not become a victim of this or any other fraud.

Inspired by the glamour and beauty of Elizabeth Bay House and the other grand villas of Woolloomooloo Hill in the 1850s, The Opal Dragonfly tells the story of Isobel Macleod, a young woman born into wealth and privilege and yet destined to be cast out of both.
Miss Isobel Clara Macleod, youngest of the seven children of Major Sir Angus Hutton Macleod, Surveyor-General of the colony of New South Wales, had the singular misfortune to know that at seven o'clock that morning her father was going to die.
September, 1851. Sydney, city of secrets and gossip. Seventeen-year-old Isobel Macleod is determined to save her father because she loves him. But when she dares to trespass in a forbidden male world, she will be plunged into social disgrace. A wave of ill fortune threatens to swallow up her family and their stately home, Rosemount Hall, 'the finest house in the colony' on the foreshores of Sydney Harbour.
Is Isobel to blame for her family's fate or does the cause lie further in the past? When Isobel was four, Major Macleod returned from an expedition with two 'souvenirs': an Aboriginal girl who became her friend and two opals fashioned into a dragonfly brooch for her mother.
When Isobel inherits this 'unlucky' heirloom, she wonders if the terrible dreams it summons are a curse or a gift. Now Isobel's hopes for her future depend on a charming bohemian who encourages her hidden passion to become an artist. Will she now be permanently exiled from her family home? Or will she be transformed into a new self, like a magnificent dragonfly emerging into the sunlight?
A daughter sacrifices her reputation, two men bid for the love of a woman, freedom is found in the heart of a dust storm, a father's legacy reveals past crimes.
Inspired by Elizabeth Bay House and the other grand villas of Sydney's Woolloomooloo Hill, The Opal Dragonfly tells the bittersweet story of an ambitious family's fall from grace and a brave young woman's struggle to find her true self.

'Wednesday took a lot out of them' - Corica admits intense week caught up with Sydney FC
Steve Corica believes Sydney FC's midweek Asian Champions League exertions may have cost his team victory in the Sydney derby.
The Sky Blues made a dream start at ANZ Stadium when Alex Brosque fired the Hyundai A-League title contenders into a seventh minute lead, but Alex Baumjohann's deflected free-kick on 57 minutes earned Western Sydney Wanderers a share of the points.
ANALYSIS: Derby drought continues but Wanderers show signs of promising future
REPORT: Baumjohann strikes for Wanderers to salvage Sydney derby draw
RE-LIVE: Pulsating Sydney derby draw, Adelaide move into top four
Corica's men led three times during a breathtaking 3-3 draw with Chinese champions Shanghai SIPG on Wednesday night at Jubilee Oval, as the 2017-18 Hyundai A-League Premiers continue to battle on domestic and continental fronts.
The draw in the derby has opened up the opportunity for Perth Glory to clinch the Premier's Plate on Sunday evening if Tony Popovic's men beat the Newcastle Jets, and Corica admits his frustration that Sydney could not pile more pressure on their title rivals.
"The boys kept going," said Corica.
"They wanted to win by more and that was the message at half-time. We wanted to carry on, get the second goal and even get the third goal.
"It happens in football, a deflection and it goes in, but other than that, I think they played well.
"I think Wednesday took a lot out of them, mentally as well, leading three times and them coming back and then again tonight.
"But they showed good character, you see Rhyan Grant in the dying minutes, he was still getting forward and trying to win us the game. Great energy from the boys, great effort."
Wanderers head coach Markus Babbel revealed he anticipated their cross-city rivals may run out of steam in the second half.
He said: "[At half-time] I explained after the Wednesday game maybe they lose a bit of power.
"Maybe they are not so aggressive like in the first half.
"I'm very proud about my team because they put a lot of energy in the game. They deserved the point, even deserved a bit more.
"This is the problem. If you play against a side like Sydney, you do not get 100 chances.
"I think we had a lot but we only could score one goal and normally it is not enough."

I have reported this to DevExpress and they will have it fixed for their next release. I am now trying to get an answer to when this will be. Until then and if possible use DXCore 2.1.3, which I know will work, or bare with me until the next DXCore version is released.
Read more about the issue here "http://community.devexpress.com/forums/ ... 84403.aspx".
First of all it clearly documents the reason for violating the code rule, and thus avoids the problem of someone "correcting" it. It also makes the redline disappear from under the rule violation, since the attribute clearly specifies for Code Style Enforcer that it is a deliberate violation.
I will now give you an example of where and when we use it in our project. We demand that all interfaces should be explicitly implemented and for each thus method/property, there should be a matching method/property in the class marked as protected virtual. This makes it possible to override the implementation in derived classes and it also makes it easier and more direct to call local method/properties without the need to first cast yourself to that interface.
But sometimes the protected method/property must be public due to serialization or data binding and when we make it public it violates the explicit interface implementation rule. Therefore it is very nice to be able to clearly specify that we want/need to violate this rule, but it is deliberate, and we can specify why we did so.
In order to use the attribute you must add a reference to the CodeStyleEnforcer.Attributes assembly, which can be found in the normal Visual Studio reference list. Then simply add the CSEIngnoreRule attribute to the member that violates a rule and specify the rule type it is deliberately violating, i.e. Name, Visibility or Implementation. Make sure to also specify a reason for violating the rule.
Another very nice thing with the CSEIgnoreRule attribute is that it only exists in design time in Visual Studio. It never gets compiled into code and thus does not exist in the production code.
An easier and more user friendly way to choose between local or global, i.e. shared, rules for a solution.
Name rules and perhaps also visibility rules must be more flexible, e.g. be able to have different name rules depending on the visibility of a language element. I hope I can make it flexible enough without the need for regular expressions, since I abandoned that path in order to add the auto correction feature.
Hungarian notation is also something that would be nice to support again, without regular expressions.
If you have any more comments or suggestions, please let me know.
Now you have heard my thoughts about the next version, but of course this can all change, we are living in an agile world after all!
I also added activation/deactivation of Code Style Enforcer to the context menu of the Visual Studio solution.
An uninstall of any previous versions has to be made from the Add/Remove Programs dialog, before installing the new beta version. Why? Well, it has to do with Custom Actions and Upgrade Installations, read my previous blog post for more thorough information.
When doing an upgrade installation, the old custom actions assembly is first loaded, into the AppDomain, in order to call the uninstall method for the version currently installed. When its time for the Install method to be called in the new Custom Actions assembly, it still uses the old assembly since that is already loaded into the AppDomain. This has to do with how the Assembly.LoadFrom method works. This is really bad, not only since the new and perhaps updated Install method wont be called, but since the old one will execute instead.
Microsoft suggests signing the Custom Actions assembly with a strong name in order to solve the problem, but Ive tried that without any success. Another solution might be giving the assembly different names for each new installer version, but this seems like a really ugly solution to me.
For more information about this have a look at:
Im really not sure if this problem is entirely bound to setup projects in Visual Studio and the Uninstall and Install/Commit custom actions implemented as part of an Installer class. I will try to migrate my setup project to WiX instead and see if I can get it work as expected.
For the interested, the Windows Installer XML (WiX) is a toolset that builds Windows installation packages from XML source code. I will tell you more about it in another blog post.

We all now know that Shepard Fairey was fibbing when he said he wasn't using an AP photography as the basis for his famous Obama "Hope" poster.
While it is certainly not a good look, it shouldn't change the legal basis of "fair use" on which his defence of AP's lawsuit against him is based.
Today in Slate, Tim Wu takes a good look at fair use law as it applies in the US jurisdiction:
Copyright lawyers, when asked about fair use, love to emphasize its complexity and opacity. I won't deny that fair use can be a little dense, yet I firmly believe the basics can be well-understood. My project is to demystify: a few details may be lost, but here goes.

Aromatic | Non-Addictive | Kitty Bliss
Water your Cat Grass about twice a week. The best way to water your Cat Grass is to place the container in a saucer and water it from the bottom. Make sure the soil stays moist but do not let your Cat Grass stand in water for more than an hour.
Light and Ventilation
Place your Cat Grass in a bright, well ventilated location. Avoid direct sunlight and/or hot locations. A bright kitchen window is ideal! Cat Grass is considered a leafy green. The best way to extend the life of your Cat Grass is to put the container in the refrigerator at night.
Feed to your pet as a healthy reward or snack. Cat Grass can be fed to cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, and small animals. Adjust the serving size according to the size of your pet. Reptiles and small animals should only be fed small amounts of cat grass. Cat grass can be eaten directly out of the pot or clipped and added to food. Consult your veterinarian for more information about the proper serving size for your pet.

Armed Assault's scripting language allows the user to control and influence the behaviour of the engine. It is in its structure similar to real programming languages. With the large amount of scripting commands you can create dynamic processes happening during a mission. That is, for instance, a camera cutscene or custom interactions between the player and AI units. The scripting engine was designed to be very simple while remaining unlimiting for the editor.
You don't need any requirements to learn using Armed Assault's scripting language. You should be familiar to mission editing though, as this is the base for any scripting needs.
Getting Started
The first little code in every programming language is usually a small "Hello World" program. It is meant just to display this simple text.
Open up the mission editor, create a custom unit for the player and write the following code into its init line:
hint "Hello World!"
This code is very simple: The command hint displays the given text on the left upper side of the screen. The code is executed when the mission starts, since this is what the init line does.

The nation's most endangered waterway is in our backyard | Environment
Environmental group says the all-important Colorado River is the most endangered river in the country.
Five lousy percent never looked so good.
But with the West gripped by a drought so severe it's spurred talk of fallowed farms and emergency water restrictions in recent months, it's practically worth celebrating that the snowpack that feeds the Colorado River is expected to produce 5 percent more water than average this year.

Report on the Yale Case from IHE
Inside Higher Ed reports on the recent social-media publicizing of allegations of sexual misconduct against "a professor of philosophy at Yale University." (previously here and here, with a discussion of some of the relevant issues here.)
Diversity at Undergraduate-Oriented Departments
In the 50-plus years of its existence, the philosophy department has offered only one tenure-track position to a woman, and zero positions to people of color.
So writes undergraduate Emily Beszhak, about the Department of Philosophy at Western Washington University, in a letter to the editor of the school paper. The occasion of the letter was a recent hire by the de..
Grading Shortcuts
For years I provided very extensive comments on students' papers. What stopped me was one of them, finally, saying "thank you." It immediately struck me that hundreds of students over many semesters hadn't cared enough to say anything to me about the comments, and in fact probably hadn't cared about them at all. I switched to a more minimal commenting approach, at l..
Louis CK Gets "Philosophical"
"Don't lie, because lying only fixes everything."
I don't know how philosophical Louis CK's really getting, but I'm enough of a fan of his to give the Washington Post's headline writer a pass on this one: "Five times Louis C.K. got really philosophical on late-night talk shows."
UPDATE: The Huffington Post has published an article on philosophical comedians, includ..
What Can You Do With A Philosophy Major? Part 8563 or so
You can invent a silly product, market it well, and use the proceeds to fund a charity. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the newest inductee into the pantheon of famous philosophy majors: "Banana Bill" — the inventer of the banana slicer. Do not neglect to read the reviews of this esteemed product. (via Dale Miller)
Philosophy Students Do It

Non-Philosophers Teaching Philosophy
Several years ago, during an era of relative plenty, I tried to persuade our philosophy department to credit a new history course I was teaching on the Enlightenment. Neither the reading list, bursting with texts from Bacon and Locke to Montesquieu and Diderot, nor the publication of my own book on Hume and Rousseau undid the suspicion that a professional historian..
Buddhism's Logic
Buddhist thought, and Asian thought in general, has often been written off by Western philosophers. How can contradictions be true? What's all this talk of ineffability? This is all nonsense. The constructions I have described show how to make precise mathematical sense of the Buddhist views. This does not, of course, show that they are true. That's a different matt..
Department of Defense Gives Philosopher $7.5m
Steve Awodey, a professor of philosophy at Carnegie Mellon University, has received a $7.5 million grant from the Department of Defense to "reshape the foundations of mathematics by developing a new approach that allows for large-scale formalization and computer verification" and to build on his earlier work showing "a deep and surprising connection between abstract..
How Much Do You Travel For Work?
Many philosophers travel for work, delivering talks or participating in conferences and the like. In deciding whether to attend another conference, or accept another invitation, one factor is whether one has traveled enough, or too much. But how much is that? While there will be a lot of personal factors involved in that assessment, let's see if we can get a sense o..
Ask a Long-Dead Philosopher
If you could ask a long-dead philosopher any one question, who would you you pick, and what would you ask? (For our purposes here, "long-dead" will mean "died 50 years or more ago.") Post your question in the comments. Folks are welcome to try to answer, too, as they think the philosopher asked would do so.
Do Ethics Courses Make Moral Students?
A recent event at Stanford raised the question of what good ethics courses do, with a particular focus on the question of whether such courses can and should make students more moral. Tamar Schapiro, Barbara Fried, and Benoit Monin (all Stanford) were the featured participants, and you can view their talks and the following discussion here. What is the job of the mo..
Weinberg Donates $7.7m to Michigan

But Marshall Weinberg, a University of Michigan alumnus, has donated $7.7 million to the University of Michigan for a new cognitive science institute, which will be a cooperative effort between the Departments of Philosophy, Linguistics, and Psychology. The Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science, as i..
St. Mary's University Receives $1.5m For Catholic Philosophy
St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas, has received $1.5 million from an anonymous donor to endow a chair in Catholic philosophy. "The donor requested the gift be used to recruit and retain a distinguished Catholic philosopher who has a deep understanding of prominent Catholic thinkers, especially the Rev. Bernard Lonergan." Details here.
More Philosophicalish Quips
If you can only be good at one thing, be good at lying. … Because if you're good at lying, you're good at everything.
Jerry Dworkin (who put together Philosophy: a Commonplace Book) shares some of his latest discoveries of "humorous quotes, epigrams, aphorisms, parodies, etc. that have some connection to philosophy" over at 3 Quarks Daily. (via Jerry Dworkin)
Professional Philosophers in Industry

Oxford University has offered the prestigious White's Chair of Moral Philosophy to Jeff McMahan (Rutgers). The chair is currently held by John Broome. Recent holders include James Griffin, Bernard Williams, and R.M. Hare. McMahan has yet to make a decision about the offer.
Philosophers Hired Outside of Academia
At the suggestion of a friend I am creating a new page at Daily Nous for people to list their successes finding employment outside of academia. The idea of the page is to, first, show readers what some of the alternatives to academia are and give them a sense of their options, and second, to more accurately reflect the reality of the philosophy job market. So if you..
Philosophy: "Something scientists should embrace"
Just having the graduate students and Sara present in our space and asking us questions raises our consciousness, our neural system, to be thinking a little more about the ethical implications of what we do…. That could/should thinking is unique to philosophy and is something that science should embrace more and more.
So says Tom Daniel, professor of biology at U..
Judges Citing Philosophers, Kant Edition

Would You Do It Over Again?
Philosophy professors and graduate students: think back to when you decided to study philosophy seriously, or to try to make a career out of being a philosopher.

While I won't requi..
A True Lover of Philosophy

Can you believe these pancakes have just 3 ingredients? All you really need is a good non-stick frying pan to avoid using excessive cooking oils and you've got yourself a super healthy start to the day.
First of all, puree the bananas. This can be done using a hand-blender or even by mashing with the back of a fork, as long as a smooth paste is created without lumps.
Whisk in the milk using a fork to combine.
Add the oat flour gradually to avoid lumps in the pancake batter. You can use buckwheat or other alternative gluten free flours if desired, but oat flour can easily be made in a food processor using a milling blade and has many health benefits.
Heat a non-stick frying pan with 1 teaspoon if cooking oil or a spray oil. Add 1-2 tablespoons of pancake mix and spread with the back of the spoon to create small pancakes, approx 10cm in diameter and 5mm thick. Lightly fry for 3-4 minutes, until small air bubbles appear on the surface, then flip with a spatula and cook for 2 minutes on the other side. Repeat with the rest of the mix, which will make 5-6 pancakes.
Stack with favourite fruits, and optional maple syrup if a little indulgence is required on an early morning.Nut FreeGluten FreeNo Added Sugar
200g bananas (approx 2 bananas)
4 tablespoons (60ml) soya milk
