From 1977 to 1999, thousands of accurate radial velocities in both hemispheres were made on a large variety of programmes with the two CORAVEL scanners. The data base of ~350000 individual observations will now be made available to complement the Gaia data.
Research on the structure and dynamics of the Galactic System covers a large field of research, from formation scenarios to long-term evolution and secular processes. Today we speak of near-field cosmology where the oldest parts of the Galaxy are used to probe back to early times, e.g. studying the chemical signatures of the oldest star clusters and dwarf galaxies to learn about the byproducts of the first stars. Some of the most detailed work relates to the structure of the dark matter and baryons in order to compare with expectation from N-body models. Secular processes have been identified (e.g. stellar migration) where material within the Galaxy is being reorganized by dynamical resonances and feedback processes.
Significant minorities of extremely metal-poor (EMP) halo stars exhibit dramatic excesses of neutron capture elements. The standard scenario for their origin is mass transfer and dilution in binary systems, but requires them to be binaries. If not, these excesses must have been implanted in them from birth by processes that are not included in current models of SN II chemical enrichment. The binary population of such EMP subgroups is a test of this scenario.
Commission 45 is solidly anchored in the beginnings of the IAU. It evolved out of Commission 29, which was one of the original commissions and whose title and emphasis was the Spectral Classification of Stars (Transactions of the IAU, Volume I, 1922). C29 was formed with W.S. Adams (Pasadena) as president. Its first members were Miss Cannon, R.H. Curtiss, A. Fowler, A. de Gramont, M. Hamy, H.F. Newall, J.S. Plaskett, H.N. Russell, all very much part of the history of stellar spectroscopy. In the 1922 Transactions report it was recognized the Harvard System of spectral classification "has already been adopted by international agreement. . ."
A large fraction of extremely metal-poor halo stars are strongly enriched in carbon (CEMP stars). The standard scenario for their origin is mass transfer in binary systems, but this assumes that they
binaries. If not, the C must have been implanted in their natal clouds from a distant production site(s) in the preceding - possibly first - generation of stars. The binary population of CEMP subgroups can shed light on these processes.
Large photometric or spectroscopic surveys are used to sort stars into populations and define the main trends that characterise them, as diagnostics of their origin. Stars falling off the trends defined by the 'normal' stars are called 'peculiar' and typically eliminated in discussions of Galactic structure and evolution. In our programme on extremely metal-poor halo giants, we have recently focused on the small subgroup that is strongly enhanced in r-process elements, asking whether the chemical peculiarity is intrinsic to these stars or due to local surface pollution caused by mass transfer from a binary companion. Precise radial-velocity monitoring over several years turns out to disprove the binary hypothesis and has led to new insight in the processes of chemical enrichment in the early Galactic halo. An ongoing analogous programme on carbon-enhanced metal-poor giants is briefly described at the end.
Research on the structure and dynamics of the Galactic System covers a large dynamic range of spatial scales and timescales and investigates the evolution of gas, stars and dark matter. Much recent activity, not just in Europe, has focused on preparing for the data from the upcoming ESA astrometric mission Gaia, scheduled for launch in 2013. Several ongoing (plus planned) wide-area ground-based surveys, both spectroscopic and photometric, are providing the necessary very large datasets for robust determination of the joint position-chemical-kinematic distribution functions of Galactic stellar populations. The time domain adds another dimension, the goal of ongoing and future massive photometric surveys (e.g. LSST). The dynamical evolution of disks has been the focus of much recent theoretical research, stimulated by the possibility of radial migration of stars and gas under transient dynamical perturbations.
Division VII provides a forum for astronomers studying the Milky Way as a galactic system, as well as its constituents. It acts as an umbrella for two commissions, Commission 33 and Commission 37.
The Working Group was created at the 25th IAU General Assembly in Sydney, Australia, in July 2003 by the IAU Executive Council as a Working Group of IAU Executive. The aims of the Working Group are to evaluate the status of women in astronomy through the collection of statistics over all countries where astronomy research is carried out; and to establish strategies and actions that can help women to attain true equality as research astronomers, which will add enormous value to all of astronomy.
This report gives an update on developments since the last General Assembly in Rio de Janeiro. Classification – both photometric and spectral – continues to play a vital role in stellar astrophysics and stellar surveys. During the past three years, rapid progress has been made in the classification of brown dwarfs, with the discovery of the first Y dwarfs and the introduction of a near-IR classification system for M- and L-dwarfs. The number of known L-dwarfs now exceeds 1000, and so peculiar types are beginning to show up. For instance, there is now enough material to define a low-gravity spectral sequence for the L0 – L5 dwarfs. In addition, a number of unusally blue L-dwarfs are now known. Large-area surveys, always of interest to Commission 45, have proliferated during this period, including RAVE, SEGUE, and WISE with many more in the planning stages.
During the commission business session, the past President presented the new Organizing Committee which was selected by the OC through a e-mail vote conducted during the months before the Rio de Janeiro General Assembly. The new OC will consist of Ignasi Ribas (President), Mercedes Richards (Vice President), and Slavek Rucinski (Past President) with the members: David Bradstreet, Petr Harmanec, Janusz Kaluzny, Joanna Mikolajewska, Ulisse Munari, Panos Niarchos, Katalin Olah, Theo Pribulla, Colin Scarfe and Guillermo Torres.
Since its formation at the XXVI General Assembly in Prague in 2006, amazing progress has been made by Commission 55, all due to the work of the key activists and enthusiasts. The web-page for the Commission contains a wealth of information and is one of the key foundations and tools for the Commission. The web address is http://www.communicatingastronomy.org
Commission 33 held its business session in the afternoon of Friday 7 August 2009. The president briefly described developments during the previous months. A short discussion followed about the activities of the Commission and whether it should play a more active role in view of the many on-going surveys relevant to the subject of the Galaxy.
The business meeting of Commission 45 was held on Friday, 7 August. It was attended by the Vice-President of the Commission (who chaired the meeting in the absence of the President) as well as nine other members of the Commission. Attendance was limited, as usual, by the unavoidable occurrence of parallel sessions.
From high resolution spectra taken with the spectrograph FIES on the Nordic Optical Telescope, La Palma, we measure abundances of oxygen and α-elements in order to characterize stars which from their dynamical properties are suspected to have originated in disrupted satellites. We find that the chemical composition of investigated stars is homogeneous and distinct from Galactic disk dwarfs, which is providing further evidence of their extragalactic origin.
Commission 55 was approved at the IAU XXVI General Assembly in Prague, 2006, following the great success of the Working Group Communicating Astronomy, which had been set up in 2003.
This three-year period has seen considerable activity in the Commission, with a wide range of applications of radial velocities as well as a significant push toward higher precision. The latter has been driven in large part by the exciting research on extrasolar planets. This field is now on the verge of detecting Earth-mass bodies around nearby stars, as demonstrated by recent work summarized below, and radial velocities continue to play a central role.
Two meetings of interest to close binaries took place during the reporting period: A full day session on short-period binary stars – mostly CV's – (Milone et al. 2008) during the 2006 AAS Spring meeting in Calgary and the very broadly designed IAU Symposium No. 240 on Binary Stars as Critical Tools and Tests in Contemporary Astrophysics in Prague, 2006, with many papers on close binaries [Hartkopf et al. 2007]. In addition, the book by Eggleton (2006), which is a comprehensive summary of evolutionary processes in binary and multiple stars, was published.
This report gives an update of developments (since the last General Assembly at Prague) in the areas that are of relevance to the commission. In addition to numerous papers, a new monograph entitled Stellar Spectral Classification with Richard Gray and Chris Corbally as leading authors will be published by Princeton University Press as part of their Princeton Series in Astrophysics in April 2009. This book is an up-to-date and encyclopedic review of stellar spectral classification across the H-R diagram, including the traditional MK system in the blue-violet, recent extensions into the ultraviolet and infrared, the newly defined L-type and T-type spectral classes, as well as spectral classification of carbon stars, S-type stars, white dwarfs, novae, supernovae and Wolf-Rayet stars.

So I ordered some stuff from Amazon using my Prime membership free 2 day shipping. Then we got hit with snow and ice. Cool. As I'm tracking my package, I notice it says that my shipment will be delayed due to weather, but that it was at my local ups center. So I get on UPS's website and try to sign up for UPS MyChoice so I can choose to pick up my package at the center. No big deal.
Problem is that the website wouldn't verify me because my billing address didn't match my the billing address of my cell phone service provider. Impossible because it was copied and pasted from my cell phone service provider. Maybe the site is having problems. Cool.
So I hop onto ups live chat to see if they will allow me to go pick up the package. I get a copy and pasted reply about severe weather delays. I tell the gentleman that I understand that, I'm trying to go pick the package up myself. He replies that it is not available for pick up. So I inform him of the UPS MyChoice option to pick up the package. He says he's going to call the center to see if they have the package. Finally he replies that he spoke to a young lady who said that the trucks were backed up and the package was not available for pickup.
At this point, I am a little frustrated, but it's Thursday and there's still a Friday that it will be delivered. And to make it worse, FedEx and USPS have had absolutely no problem getting in and out of here. FedEx has delivered everything that was shipped through them from Amazon on the exact same order.
So it's Friday, I wake up, check the tracking information, Out for Delivery. Outstanding. Except, at around 4:30 when I check it again, Item has been delayed by another business day. Monday. Wow. I know a lot of the UPS drivers in my local area because my previous job required contact with them twice a day and I know how lazy they are. But this is on a whole new level.
I know the FedEx guys too... still pretty lazy, but at least they get the packages to their destinations
Reason of review: Problem with delivery.
Same thing here I talked to a driver today he said they just threw everything that could be blamed on the weather in trailers because the packages that are commng now have service agreements that they would have to pay for if not delivered on time. he said it could be weeks before we get our packages that there is no big hurry.
VA beach here same issue except I saw UPS trucks all week wouldn't allow me to pick up for will call Saturday because it was after 7pm the time they say to wait until.
Exactly the same issue!

A MAN and his three sons, who were wanted for murder, were arrested in Barangay Mansablay, Isabela, Negros Occidental on Thursday, January 17.
Nabbed were Loreto Flores, 60, and his sons Ronnie, 36; Loreto Jr., 31; and Mark, 19, all of Binalbagan town.
Senior Inspector Roger Pama, town police chief, led the service of the arrest warrant issued by Himamaylan City Regional Trial Court Branch 55 Judge Walter Zorilla to the four suspects.
Pama said the suspects committed the crime in Binalbagan a few years ago and moved to Isabela to hide.
All four suspects are detained at Isabela Municipal Police Station. (Christopher D. Yanson, CHMSC-Talisay intern)

BIRD-Liberia has established Cooperative Group of farmers to enable them acquires periodic training on crops production and this aid has resulted cassava, Corn and others crops production.
We have also secured 20 acres of farmland in Lower Montserrado County and 25 acres as well in Bong County for agriculture purposes in insuring that Liberia becomes Food Secure and the optimal contribution to deforestation of Africa climate Change.
We have created awareness and day to day monitoring of indigenous people in ensuring that commercial hunting is curtailed in Lofa County.
The world is facing unprecedented global obstacles that affect the sustainability of food and agriculture systems on livelihoods of smallholders and family farmers worldwide. These problems include resource depletion and the adverse impacts of environmental degradation, such as desertification, drought, land degradation, water scarcity, pollution and loss of biodiversity, climate change and an ever-increasing world population. Collectively, these challenges pose serious threats to food security; Liberia is no exception.
As the world population increases, the need for more productive and sustainable use of the land becomes more urgent.
In Liberia, food insecurity and malnutrition are primarily caused by poor access to health, water and sanitation services, inadequate care of mothers, infants and young children, and limited availability and access to food resulting from low agricultural productivity, poor road infrastructure and limited income generating opportunities, PRS-I. Low agricultural productivity is due in part to the majority (53 percent) of rural farms being small, ranging in size from 1 to 4.9 acres. Also, most of Liberia's farmers have limited access to capital for investment, production and income.
So what lies behind this food scarcity? Liberia's subsistence farming makes it hard for Liberians to compete on the market with cheaper food imports, and agriculture has suffered as a result of the 2014 Ebola outbreak and prolonged civil crises.
Agriculture development in Liberia is key to nation building and infrastructure development. And research shows, despite a high degree of involvement by the local population in agriculture, the sector's productivity remains low: little technology and poor pest management, combined with the extremely limited use of fertilizer and other modern cultivation methods, are some of the factors responsible for this. Other factors include the lack of good quality farm inputs, high pre- and post-harvest losses, and the lack of incentives to produce food beyond subsistence level. Therefore, the need to invest in the Agriculture to support livelihood in poor communities is a need.
Over the years, BIRD-Liberia engaged in agricultural activities to transform lives across the country. This initiative was self-funded and was not realized fully due to lack of funding. There is a huge gab that needs to be address in Liberia when talking about agriculture. Through our effort, we were able to organize a cooperative in Arthington, lower Montserrado County to promote agricultural activity that support communal farming among farmers in Arthington city, where we have been given 20 acres of land for agricultural purposes. We are therefore looking for partners to engage in agricultural activities as it's the easiest way to supporting livelihood across Liberia.
The general agricultural objective is to revitalize the food and agricultural sector to contribute to shared, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth and development; provide food security and nutrition; increase employment and income; and measurably reduce poverty; especially for vulnerable groups such as pregnant and disable women and children under five years of age. We are of the strongest conviction that with the necessary support from partners we can achieve our objective.
Lastly, to conserve Liberia's biodiversity and maintain resource benefits for local communities, BIRD-Liberia with support from partners will engage in awareness on hunting wildlife and other unsound practices that seek to undermine conservation in the forestry sector. And encourage local communities to sustainably manage their forest by creating transferring control and building their capacity for forest management.

Every day in our community, workforce agencies see people who want to work and have skills to offer but can't get jobs. At the same time, employers often say they can't find workers for openings they have. What gives? Read more in this Plain Dealer op-ed from Fund President Brad Whitehead and Policy Matters Executive Director Amy Hanauer.
Fund President Brad Whitehead is quoted in this feature on Akron's future."For some time, Greater Akron has been a brighter spot in Northeast Ohio," he says.
As founding president and CEO of Birthing Beautiful Communities, Christin Farmer is committed to reducing the infant mortality rate among African-American babies in Cleveland, a reality she says is directly linked to systemic racial exclusion -- or long-standing, institutional practices that have excluded community members based on race. In 2015, Cuyahoga County's infant mortality rate was almost double the national rate, with African-American babies in the region dying at three times the rate of white babies. Birthing Beautiful Communities is working to eliminate this problem and build equity, primarily by supporting families and advocating for systemic change.
Akron Public Schools Superintendent David James cites The Two Tomorrows report in his State of the Schools address. "We must ensure that our economy grows in ways that benefit everyone," he said.
Crain's announces Burton D. Morgan Foundation's latest round of grants, which included $500,000 over three years to support our philanthropic collaborative.
"Akron is one of the places that's doing somewhat better than the region as a whole, at least in the last five years," says Fund for Our Economic Future Director of Job Preparation Janine Kaiser, in this story on WKSU.
Forward-thinking regions across the country are grappling with how to achieve more inclusive economies. Part of the work rests on better measuring the progress communities wish to see. Read the latest piece in our Two Tomorrows series in Crain's Cleveland Business on our Growth & Opportunity scorecard.
The Business Journal reports on the 2019 Growth & Opportunity scorecard and examines how the Mahoning Valley is faring.
"Long and costly commutes. Workers who don't always show up on time. Poor air quality. Strained municipal budgets. These are the realities for many workers, companies and municipalities, the result of fragmented, unaligned development decisions throughout Northeast Ohio," writes Kathy Ames Carr in this Crain's piece. But there is a way forward: Job hubs.
When it comes to economic development, Sheehan Hannan writes in this opinion piece for Cleveland magazine, elected officeholders are too willing to cede leadership to the business community.

Trump, Northam, infanticide, blackface, and the fury of Democratic women
If you watched Trump's State of the Union address Tuesday evening, your eye would have been drawn to the cadre of Democratic congresswomen all dressed in white as a kind of upscale, sedentary version of the Women's March, signifying their support of women and their #resistance to Donald Trump. All that was missing were the pussy hats.
To me, it seemed kind of a sophomoric, ironically "Stepford Wife" form of political theatre.
The irony of their lack of individuality deepened when I saw them hesitate to applaud Trump's line about making inroads in the battle against sex slavery, looking to each other for guidance (that's a good thing, right? But it's Trump who's doing it, so aaaaaaagh; they did applaud, thankfully). But they showed no hesitation whatsoever when Trump denounced the increasing callousness progressives show toward abortion. They hated that reference. While the Republicans rose in vigorous applause, they sat on their hands and radiated animosity in their stony faces and smouldering stares.
Trump was referring to two recent developments in abortion law. One was the New York Reproductive Health Act, passed last week, which allows for abortion up to and including the process of delivery. Lawmakers and observers gave the passage of the Act a standing ovation. So it was not only the seriously extreme latitude the Act provides for women's control of their "reproductive" function that disturbed Trump; it was the celebratory response.
The white-clad congresswomen were furious that he should harsh their mellow about what they perceive as yet another victory for women. But ordinary Americans do not find babies being killed in the birth canal something to celebrate. Only 13% of Americans support abortion into the third trimester, let alone in the birth canal (Only 28% support it into the second trimester). So chalk one up for Trump.
Trump also referred to Virginia Governor Ralph Northam in his address. I feel very ambivalent about this guy. Northam is under fire and resisting calls for his resignation over a 1984 medical yearbook photo, allegedly of Northam wearing either a KKK hood or in blackface. Northam didn't admit to his presence in the photo, but conceded he had worn blackface to imitate Michael Jackson. He's asking for forgiveness. Opinion is divided on whether there can ever be redemption for any tasteless action in one's pre-political life (if the issue is racism).
But Northam does not hold racist views. He did a dumb thing 35 years ago. The mobbing he is enduring is undeserved, and I am in favour of Northam retaining his position, and stonewalling until the self-righteous racism Furies move on to another target.
But Trump did not mention Northam because of the yearbook brouhaha. Northam's other headache springs from comments he made about proposed bill HB 2491 introduced by Democratic congresswoman Kathy Tran, which would eliminate certain requirements around abortion: for example, the requirement that an ultrasound be performed prior to receiving consent; the requirement that two other physicians certify the need for a third trimester abortion attesting that the abortion is necessary for the physical or mental health of the mother; and the requirement that any such impairment should be substantial and irremediable.
Northam—who is, by the way, a pediatric neurologist—was a little too candid in his explanations about what the bill (which was defeated) actually meant. When an interviewer asked him what would happen to a baby born alive in the third trimester—that is, a full-term baby the mother could, according to the bill, decide to abort as she is delivering it—he explained that the baby would be born and "kept comfortable," and "then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother." The logical translation: if the mother doesn't want the child to receive medical attention, then the doctors will help it to die. Northam has attempted to walk back the statement, but few objective observers are buying it.
Northam's apparently calm acceptance of what should candidly be acknowledged, as "after-birth abortion" is more disturbing to me than his lousy judgment of what was funny 35 years ago. The discussion has gone far beyond a woman's right to control over her own body. We're not dealing any longer with a "viable fetus," which is what an unborn baby is called by ideologues who are determined to maintain the fiction that pregnant women are the only human beings in the room. When a baby is born, it is no longer a "fetus." The mother's body, to be precise, is no longer the issue. The baby's body is the issue. But Northam—and millions of feminists—are talking about the baby as if it were still a "fetus" rather than a fully born human being. Do progressive politicians not realize how creepy all of this is to ordinary people? Apparently not.
I had an eerie sense of déja vu when I heard Northam's remarks. Back in 2012, I wrote a column about two medical ethicists from Australian universities, Alberto Giubilini and Francesca Minerva, who published an article in the prestigious Journal of Medical Ethics, "After-birth Abortion: Why should the baby live?" The question was rhetorical. They believed it shouldn't—and not just in the case of disability or grave deformity. They believed that the mother had a right to "after-birth abortion"—what most people call infanticide—for any unwanted baby at the time of birth.
Maybe, the authors suggest, the mother's partner has left her; or Mom realizes it is going to be more expensive than she thought to raise the child. Whatever. They wrote: "When circumstances occur after birth such that they would have justified abortion, what we call after-birth abortion should be permissible." The question arises, why not give the baby up for adoption instead of killing it? No no, that wouldn't do. The authors explain that if she kills the baby, then she knows the baby is gone forever, and she must "accept the irreversibility of the loss." But knowing the baby is still alive "makes it difficult to accept the reality of the loss," you see, and she "might suffer psychological distress." And weighing the one against the other—live baby or mom's distress—it's a no-brainer. The baby has to die. Perhaps some of the ladies in the white suits would agree? I think some of them would.
You might think that these "ethicists" could have foreseen the storm of revulsion that slammed into their Inbox upon publication. But they were truly shocked. They issued a weird sorry-not sorry statement: "We are really sorry that many people who do not share the background of the intended audience for this article, felt offended, outraged, or even threatened. The article was supposed to be read by other fellow bioethicists who were already familiar with this topic and our arguments."
Do you see what happened there? The article itself and its thesis was not what needed apology. What they were sorry for was allowing knuckle-dragging proles like you and me to read it. Because, you see, the highly sophisticated notion of infanti—sorry, "after-birth abortion"—is a notion that our puny brains, all cluttered up as they are with antediluvian concepts like "morality" and "respect for human life," are incapable of grasping.
Let me tie a few threads together here on Northam. The media went nuts over the racist yearbook photo. Northam's abortion comments didn't bother them at all. But, as the inimitable Mark Steyn remarked on Tucker Carlson's show the other night, the whole racism controversy was a "kind of minstrel show." Steyn said the media was "sort of putting on a show about being concerned about black people," but if they were really concerned about black people, they would think about the fact that about 40% of abortions in the U.S. are performed on black women, who account for about 13% of the country's women. As of this writing, there have been 18,310,240 black babies aborted since 1973, the year Roe v. Wade was passed. Racism isn't always as visible as a photo in a yearbook.

Jim Parker is a skinny seventeen-year-old kid who hasn't yet grown into his bones. He's living in a small box cabin on the edge of the Old Quarter, caring for his sick mother.
His mother is suffering from a long-term illness, her health deteriorating year by year. She hasn't been able to work for as long as Jim can remember. He cares for her as best he can, but the medical costs are rising out of control and her savings ran out months ago. He does odd jobs in the city to make ends meet but it's hard to find work when you look like Jim.
The neighbourhood kids pick on him because of his albinism - a medical condition that leaves him with pink eyes and pale white skin and hair. He's running out of credits. He's running out of places to go for loans. Another beating from the local kids is the last thing he needs.
Jim failed the physical test when he tried to get into the Security Forces last year. Twelve months have passed and not much has changed. He's the same skinny kid as he was then, but he's more desperate this time. It's time to apply again, even that means he'll never be the same again.
Lisa said her final farewells before leaving Los Verion to head west with her long-time travelling companion, Riser Trent. He was quiet for once and she kept her head down, lost in her own thoughts.
They spent the early part of the morning travelling across undulating green hills, working their way between small clusters of short, leafy trees. After a while the hills gave way to a rocky landscape, scattered with patches of thick, spiky undergrowth that caught against her trousers. The ground felt hard beneath her soft boots, as though the world had suddenly become more real. The sun shone between puffy white clouds as a gentle breeze ruffled her hair behind her.
The time she had spent with Preya and the others had been an enjoyable one, but she realised now that her happiness had been an illusion in many ways. The people lived in limbo among their ruined tower blocks, hiding from a world that had forsaken them long ago.
Eleanor had protected the city for many years but she had suffered greatly during her time there. Lord Hades had all but abducted her from the Orange Zone, forcing her to leave her family and loved ones behind so she could help the struggling people of Los Verion. They had been strangers to her when she arrived, but she had come to love them over the months and years that followed, considering them to be her second family.
She had found a new partner in Kalin, the leader of Los Verion, and she had worked long and hard by his side to make the forgotten city a safe place for people and sky lords alike.
She had given birth to his daughter, Zella, but Lord Dracken had slit her daughter's throat before she had spent her first full day in this world. Lisa could barely imagine the pain and torment her grandmother must have been through. She had given everything and lost so much. In the end, she had suffered the ultimate betrayal, being thrown from a tower by Lord Ibex while sleeping. It was a tragic tale - one that Lisa would never forget.
Lisa had found Eleanor's journal at Los Verion, and had shared in the sadness of its secrets ever since. She had learnt so much about her grandmother but she couldn't help wanting to know more. So many questions remained unanswered. She hadn't had much time to read the journal so far. She wasn't sure whether she should be reading it at all. She hoped her grandmother would understand her dire need to understand its contents.
It mentioned Lord Appelastus and Lord Breeves. They had come to help Eleanor after she had been attacked by Lord Dracken. Did her grandmother trust them? It wasn't clear from her words, but the fact that they had come to help her must count for something? Lisa hoped she was right about them. She needed to find someone she could trust if she was going to make any real progress.
The journal talked about a place called the Ice Cathedral, where Appelastus had been known to stay sometimes, but it offered little in the way of how to find it. Lisa spent more than half an hour going over Preya's maps, managing to come up with an approximate location, but she was starting to realise that she would have to teleport back and forth across large areas of wilderness if she was ever going to narrow its location down.
'Are you sure you know where it is?' Riser said, scratching at his thick, brown beard.
'I can find it,' Lisa said, staring out across the barren landscape around her.
A few trees dotted the horizon with the occasional stream running between them, but the ground was dry and the few shrubs they had come across on their journey were brown and twisted, devoid of any signs of life.
She had teleported twice so far, travelling west to the horizon each time. It was getting colder on the exposed plains. She was thankful that she had the thick bearskin coat that Oliver had given to her. She hadn't really needed it at Los Verion with its warm, pleasant climate but it would be invaluable in the days and weeks ahead.
They climbed a slow incline, making their way between scattered rocks and rough patches of undergrowth. She considered teleporting again but if she missed it by accident it would be difficult to know whether the Ice Cathedral was in front or behind them.
It didn't help that they didn't know what they were looking for. Was it a grand structure that would be visible from many kilometres away? Or was it something more subtle that they might be hard to recognise even if they were standing right next to it? She wished her grandmother were still around to help her understand.
'We should stop for a while,' she said, staring at the barren, rocky landscape around them. It looked much the same as everything else they had passed in the last few hours.
'Are you hungry?' Riser said.
'Not really, but I can eat.'
Riser nodded and deactivated his newly refurbished exoskeleton, extricating himself to stand beside it in his thick woollen coat. The coat had been a gift from Preya - one that he still hadn't thanked her for. Without it he would freeze where they were going. He rummaged through the containers on the exoskeleton's back, searching for food while Lisa sat on the ground nearby. She pulled Eleanor's journal from a pocket in her bearskin coat, and flicked through the pages until she found what she was looking for.
'What does it say?' Riser said, handing Lisa a small tub of the supplies that Preya had packed for them.
Lisa popped the lid open, feeling suddenly hungry as the fresh aromas of tomatoes and an oily sauce reached her nose. Preya had packed the food into separate portions that could be individually sealed. There were a variety of textures and flavours on offer. She chewed on some kind of grain that had been mixed with tomato and herbs. There was something oily beneath it that was especially tasty.
'This is good,' she said, holding it up to show Riser. 'What did she say it was again?'
Riser offered a smug smile as his jaw moved up and down in a slow, regular rhythm. 'Mo inea. Im's muddy nud though.'
Chewing some more, he finally swallowed and came up for air. 'I said I don't know but it's bloody good.'
Lisa nodded, enjoying another mouthful before returning to Eleanor's journal. She was careful not to stain the pages with her sticky fingers. 'Eleanor said Appelastus returned to the Ice Cathedral in the West.'
'That much we know, but where in the West? It's a big place.'
'That's what I'm trying to figure out. It's made of ice, right.'
'So it must be a cold place.'
'Maybe we need to head for higher ground?'
'The air is thinner, less insulation. Any heat the sun provides will escape before it can warm your bones.'
Lisa didn't know what he was talking about but he was better with these things than she was. 'I'll take your word for it,' she said. 'You've been around a lot longer than I have.'
'Are you really only six years old?' Riser said, scowling from behind his riotous beard.
'I guess I am, but I don't feel that way.'
Riser let out a sigh.
'You don't look like a six-year-old. You don't sound like one either.'
'What does a six-year-old sound like?'
Riser rubbed his beard with one hand, wiping off a few stray grains that had lodged themselves there. 'I don't know, but I don't think they read maps and get involved in wars.'
'Then I guess I'm not your average six-year-old.'
Riser nodded. 'Preya's a good cook,' he said. 'I wouldn't mind some more of this.'
'Preya didn't make it. She's too busy for that. It must have been one of the women from the kitchens.'
The sun rode high in the sky but it didn't provide much warmth. She could already feel the cold ground pressing against her butt through her thick bearskin coat. She tried to ignore the inhospitable landscape as she read Eleanor's journal, flicking from page to page in search of answers.
Riser finished his food and started throwing stones nearby.
'What are you doing?' she said.
'I'm learning to use my neural implants. This is all new to me. I didn't realise at first, but there's a targeting system that makes my throws more accurate.'
'Is that actually useful?'
'Of course it is. What if we need to catch rabbits?'
'We have Preya's food.'
'It won't last forever. What if we run into trouble again? Wouldn't it be useful if I could toss a stone and hit someone in the eye nine times out of ten?'
Lisa frowned. 'I don't think that'll work with the lords.'
'I'm not talking about the lords. I'm talking about people.'
'But the people are on our side.'
'Clerics then.'
Lisa shook her head, doubting that his efforts would ever be of much use to them.
'Watch this,' Riser said, tossing a stone into the air.
'What is it now?'
Riser raised a finger to his lips and tossed again. 'See how it landed in the same place?'
Riser tossed another stone and it landed in the exact same place again. 'See?'
Lisa frowned, shaking her head. 'Let me concentrate. I need to read this or we'll never work out where we're going.'
Large hands had long ago carved a stone plateau into the side of Thunder Mountain, displaying a craftsmanship that no human could ever match. The ground was smooth and shiny, and the low perimeter wall merged seamlessly with the jagged grey mountain rock beneath it. The wall had been meticulously carved, decorated with depictions of historic events that spanned thousands of years.
Druro stood facing the unforgiving mountain, ignoring the icy rain that fell from heavy black clouds above. The rain didn't bother him. The sharp winds swept around him, having no effect at all, but the old man standing before him stirred up more memories than he cared to remember. His features were more than familiar - like looking into a mirror - and his slight physique was identical to Druro's because in many ways they were one and the same. He wore a loose grey suit made of thin cloth that fit well across his narrow shoulders. The cloth wasn't wet like it should have been.
Druro had accepted the name that Rachel and the others had taken to calling him because it was a simple name that attracted little attention, and because it was a label that applied to him as well as others of his kind. Druro meant guardian in the language of the Kings. They were the protectors of the lords. But Druro wasn't his real name. It was what he was rather than who he was. His real name was Ranno Hon-Erran.
'You lost your charge,' his mirror image said in a crisp, clear voice that cut through the wind like a knife.
Anyone else might have mistaken him for the old man that he appeared to be, but Ranno knew exactly who he was. He was Rolus Hon-Rawker. They were both guardians, nanomachines capable of untold violence and destruction. They had been made like many other druros to protect rather than conquer.
Ranno hesitated, his jaw working through unfamiliar motions as he prepared for what he wanted to say, but Rolus didn't wait for his reply.
'You have come to prove your worthiness for another.'
'No. I have not.'
His twin stared back with a familiar puzzled expression. 'Then why did you come, Ranno Hon-Erran?'
'I was chosen by a sky lord.'
Rolus threw back his head, releasing a deep, hearty laugh that travelled far into the clouds. 'Have you lost your mind?!'
'I have not.'
'Lord Hades is dead.'
'I know that.'
'Then you must suffer your penance like those who failed before you.'
Rolus jerked his head to one side, glancing over his shoulder as a deep crack opened up in the mountain rock behind him. A torrent of old men flowed out from the crack like a swarm of angry insects, spewing onto the plateau. They fanned out around Ranno, watching him with unblinking eyes. Their identical features tormented him as they came closer, whispering curses with crooked smiles. He could hear their thoughts humming with a resonance that was difficult to ignore.
'Have you considered your actions?' Rolus said, standing amongst them.
'I have.'
'Then you have sealed your fate.'
'Do you doubt my word on this?' Rolus stepped forwards, his pale blue eyes dilating as his nostrils flared.
'No, but I must speak with Kuerolong. That's why I'm here.'
Rolus folded his arms across his narrow chest as the others gathered behind him, placing their hands on their hips in identical poses. 'No druro can ask for an audience.'
Ranno nodded. 'Nevertheless I have come to ask.'
Thunder boomed overhead as icy rain ran down Ranno's forehead, dripping into his eyes. Blinking slowly, he thrust his palm into Rolus' jaw, his forearm passing straight through the old man's head as it shattered like a crashing wave, releasing a spray of golden embers. Rolus withdrew, his head regrowing from the exposed grey flesh of his neck as new eyes appeared, rolling from side to side and expanding to resume their normal size.
'I must pass,' Ranno said.
The others shuffled back with matching smiles until their heals hit the mountain rock behind them. Sagging back against the dark, wet stone, their limbs became loose and their skin turned grey as their bodies hardened and split, becoming part of the rock that they rested on.
Rolus faded, his body turning to mist that dispersed as it fell to the ground. They had returned to the mountain, leaving Ranno alone on the plateau.
He couldn't enter without them. He stood for a time, staring up at the silhouette of Kuerolong's tower far above him, its shape almost lost amongst the slopes of the mountainside, but he knew it was foolish to ascend unbidden. Black clouds circled around it, blocking out the daylight with unnatural formations, revealing the agitation of the other druros.
Ranno squatted down on the balls of his feet, ignoring the energy that resonated all around him as he waited patiently for an audience with the King. The wind picked up and the rain dashed against his face like a whip, but time meant nothing to him. He could wait for an hour or a thousand years if he had to.
A few hours later, a small split appeared in the mountain rock in front of him, revealing a narrow opening with a set of steep black steps inside. It was as close to an invitation as he would ever receive. Darting through the narrow opening, he made his way up the black rock stairs inside.
Henry walked into Tower Two, nodding at the soldier who was standing near the front desk. He had been thinking things over for a long time. Rachel had left the Dome Shield, and maybe Lisa was out there too. Nobody would provide him with any more details, despite his new elevated social position. He was the Chancellor of the Council of Cinnamon City now. He had a legitimate reason to know what key people were doing - or at least if they had left the city.
He'd already spoken to General Parker about it. Parker had been helpful in his own way, but it was impossible to know what secrets lurked behind those mysterious pink eyes of his. Henry still hadn't got used to him yet.
With Markov, he had always known where he stood, but Parker was a very different kind of General. He lacked Markov's hardened combat experience but he was undoubtedly smart, master of the technology around him. He was often pensive. He was an Implant. That was the most confusing thing about him.
Implants were always somewhere else - mentally if not physically. Their minds were always connected to countless different interfaces. Henry never felt like a person when he talked to Parker. He felt like just another interface, unable to get more than one percent of the General's attention. Henry sighed. He would have to think about it some other time.
Stepping towards the Air Route, he felt a tightness in his chest, a spasm of panic that he had to force down before he could subject himself to use it one more time. He had used it to get to his quarters in Tower Four many times, but he had never become comfortable with it. Now he had to trust in his new wrist console to provide the right credentials to allow him access to the restricted levels. Parker had told him that if his credentials were not accepted, the Air Route would jettison him from the tower. Henry still wasn't sure whether he had been joking about it, but it made his heart beat a little faster as he stepped into the booth and the doors slid shut in front of him.
He had come to Tower Two for a reason. Lisa's quarters were on level 249. She wouldn't be there, of course. She hadn't been there for a long time. But one of the cooks in the canteen had told Henry something rather interesting about them. There was a middle-aged woman staying in Lisa's quarters. She ordered food through her console because she didn't want to visit the canteen in person. She always ate the same thing - synthetic peas with a pasta substitute - and she often sounded depressed or bored.
Henry had a fair idea who that might be. He had been more than a little busy lately, but he had never forgotten about the lovely brown-eyed lady who had served him tea when he had visited Rachel's old house in the suburbs, pretending to be her friend. With everything that had happened since, he had neglected to find time to create an excuse to contact her.
Small coloured lights blinked in front of his face as the Air Route launched his ample frame up through the tower in total darkness. The acceleration webbing did it's best to control the movement of his various body parts, but he still felt like his belly was somewhere down near his feet and his eyes might pop out of his head.
As the booth slowed, his internal organs rearranged themselves into an entirely different configuration. He felt sure his knees would crash through his chin at any moment, but somehow he found himself still in one piece as the doors finally slid open, tipping him out onto level 249. Thankfully he hadn't been jettisoned from the tower so his credentials must be in working order.
Henry collected himself, straightening his pale red robe with the backs of his hands. Pulling a tissue from his pocket, he dabbed at small drops of sweat that had formed on his forehead as he ambled along the corridor, waiting for his heart rate to slow down. He had left his cane at home today, hoping to make a better impression without it, but his knee still stiffened with every second step.
He paused outside a plain black door while he adjusted the crimson belt that wrapped around his new robe. It was a little bright on the eye but its' fabric was smooth to the touch and the gold trim that trailed just above the floor had an intricate design. It had been difficult to source from the Old Quarter, and the price still brought tears to his eyes, but it was a fine robe, worthy of a man of standing, and that was what counted.
Presenting his wrist console to the door, he listened to the high-pitched beep and waited in the corridor outside. It would notify the occupant of his presence. Taking a deep breath, he tapped his foot and twiddled his fingers behind his back, trying not to look even more nervous than he was.
He remained that way for almost a minute, counting the seconds in his head to distract himself. Finally his bright smile started to falter. Wasn't she going to answer the door? Maybe she had seen him coming? Maybe she didn't want to talk to him at all.
Henry held out his hand, holding his wrist console over the small pad beside the door once more. It didn't beep this time. It had been deactivated from the inside. His heart sank.
'Annie,' he said through the closed door. 'It's Henry. I just wanted to speak to you for a moment if I may. I hope it's not too much of an imposition?'
When he received no answer, he gazed down the long, empty corridor beside him, wondering whether he should have come at all. 'I have some good news,' he said.
Footsteps approached from inside. 'What news?' a muffled voice called out.
'Open the door and I'll share it with you.'
A moment later the door rose up into the ceiling. The woman before him was barely recognisable from the one he had seen at Rachel's house. Her hair was a mass of tangled curls, lacking its previous shine. Her face was pale, and her deep brown eyes had grown dull in a few short weeks. Her cheeks hung slack as though they had never been able to smile.
'Oh, Annie,' he said, unable to conceal his concern. 'What happened to you?'
Annie frowned, deep lines forming above her brow. 'You said you had good news?'
'Good news, yes. I've been made Chancellor of the Council of Cinnamon City.'
Annie's face sagged. 'I know that,' she said, turning to stumble back into the room behind her.
Henry thought she might be going to wash her face or to prepare some light refreshments, but she headed straight for the bunk room and disappeared inside. A moment later he heard her collapse onto the bunk. Whatever was she doing?
Chewing his lip, he considered what to do next. It wasn't polite to visit a lady in her bunk room. Perhaps he should leave and come back later? Something about the forlorn look in her eyes made it difficult for him to step back into the corridor outside.
'Annie?' he said in a quiet voice. After a moment's hesitation he stepped a little closer so he could see through the open door.
Annie was lying face down on her bunk with her arms spread out to each side as though she had fallen from a great height.
'Are you okay?'
'Hummnnnn,' she said with a muffled voice, her face embedded in the folds of her pillow. Henry had no idea what she had said.
Stepping closer, he lingered just outside the bunk room's door. 'I have an idea,' he said.
'What's that?'
'Umghhh hmmmm.'
'Okay. It's just... I have some errands to perform in the Old Quarter. I was wondering if you would care to accompany me. I thought you might like to get some fresh air and take a walk outside?'
'Umph um umph umgh.'
'I can't tell what you're saying. We could get something to eat in one of the nice cafes too if you like. I'm sure they'll have something more tasty than the tower canteens can provide.'
Annie lifted her head from her pillow. 'Okay.'
Henry frowned. Had she just accepted his invitation?
'Come back in an hour.'
'But I was going to go now.'
'Come back in an hour!'
'Of course, yes. I shall return then.'
Henry scurried towards the outer door, heading into the corridor outside with a puzzled frown. He had no idea what had just happened. He guessed he could do some of his errands in Tower Two and return when Annie was ready for him. He hoped she was going to be okay.
Ranno ascended the narrow stone staircase in full darkness, using his hands to feel his way between the rock walls on

Save Untold Hours with the Right AMS
An association management software should free up time for both administrators and members. Much of the time-saving will come from the fact that many processes, which used to be manual, will now be automated. However, another feature your AMS should provide, which will eliminate duplication of effort, is API functionality. API stands for "Application Programming Interfaces" and is just a fancy way of saying that one system can speak with another seamlessly. If your membership management software can share information with the other programs you use to manage your operations, it will prevent the need to dip in and out of different systems to enter the same data.
With the right association management software, you can really make your organization lean and mean. A comprehensive AMS will allow your administrators / registrars to maximize their time and efforts through the efficiencies a strong system provides. Manually conducting association management can be lethargic and terribly disorganized – through no fault of those attempting to oversee the many comings and goings of a growing membership. There are just too many moving parts to effectively survey such a large entity without the support of a reliable, no-nonsense member management system.
What are the features to look out for when choosing your AMS, to ensure you get the most time-saving benefits out of your system? Below are some of the key features that will empower your association administrators to be more efficient with ease.
- Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)
- This is a must. Whatever association management system you invest in, make sure it is API-capable. What is an API? Very simply, it is functionality built into the system which will allow it to connect to and share with other process systems already used within your organization. For example, you may have a favourite accounting software for processing membership dues. The AMS you take on should be able to seamlessly plug into that accounting software, so any payment information can be automatically shared from the AMS to the accounting software, so the administrator doesn't need to process payments both in the AMS and then again in the accounting software. APIs eliminate duplication of effort which, of course, will save your organization large amounts of time and money.
- Self-Servicing Member Registration
- A worthy membership management software will feature an easy-to-use registration portal. It should be so simple that prospective members will be capable of signing themselves up to the AMS without any instruction at all. A new member's ability to self-service their own registration will considerably lighten the load of administrators when onboarding people to the association management system. All they'll really need to do is welcome them warmly to the association – no fuss, no muss.
- Automated Member Renewals
- Once someone becomes a member of your AMS, they should have the option to toggle automatic renewal of their membership (for when it expires). When automatic membership renewal is selected, both the member and the administrator will not need to worry about doing any of the processing necessary to re-up membership – the association management software will take care of it. Automated renewal will make it so administrators do not have to meticulously track each member throughout their registration lifecycle or manually re-process membership dues.
- Easy Access Directories
- Intuitive pathways toward member profiles and reference material is key in giving administrators quick access to relevant information. Time will be wasted if your AMS is convoluted. When an administrator has to go on a scavenger hunt to find the information they are looking for, it goes without saying that your association management software is hampering efficiency.
- Automated Mailing System
- Your entire association or specific member groups can be targeted with email send-outs. Sharing information from the association to the membership can be done quickly by automating who you wish to receive specific info and when you want them to receive it. This makes things a lot smoother than having to manually select each recipient when sending emails.
- Automated Event Updates
- Dealing with the logistics of an event, no matter the size, can be time consuming and difficult to manage effectively – especially when circumstances change. If, for whatever reason, the date, time or location of your event has to be shifted or switched, the changes will be conveyed to those members registered to the event automatically through your AMS – without the administrator having to track each registrant down, one by one, to provide them with the specifics of the update.
- Technical Support
- Administrators should be left to administrate – not made to troubleshoot technical issues or manipulate website content. When you implement an association management software that is backed and supported by the provider, AMS administrators will be freed from having to feel ill-equipped by fielding questions from their members regarding technical problems. They will be empowered to continue managing their members while the AMS provider directly interacts with member users to resolve any issues they may have. Also, any changes that need to be made to the association's website can be completed by the AMS provider. Tech. support should not be placed inside an administrator's job description.
Harnessing a well-established member management software will allow your administrators to maximize their efforts and hone their focus on growing the association into the future – exactly what they should be empowered to do. Don't let manual processes or a haphazard AMS hinder your progress. Make your solution do the leg work so your association can get ahead.
