Shakespeare Writes Barbary Horse Othello
838 wordsOthello's character throughout the play demonstrates a skill and confidence in the art of language. From the beginning we see long, eloquent speeches that dazzle his audience - eloquently mixing complex words that help portray him as not only a strong warrior but also a fighter with a sound mind. However when Iago pressures him about the possible relationship between his wife Desdemona and Casino, Othello's passion for his beloved wife breaks down his self-control. In the next few pages I will d...

In its turn, such marginalization comes as logical result of citizens beginning to think of celebrating diversity as their foremost priority. In contemporary America, people are being taught that, since we live in multicultural society, it is perfectly natural for the citizens to explore all the aspects of their ethnic uniqueness. However, very of...

Most times the first impression of someone is not the way they truly are.

In this world of rhetoric, persuasive oratory, speeches help people persuade crowds. However, a crowd is not always persuaded by speeches.

Mom's Breakfast Smoothie
Smoothies are all the rage these days, right? And not just plain 'ole yogurt-fruit smoothies. People are adding nut butters, greens, and even raw oats to concoctions in search of a perfect meal replacement. My girls have started getting into this idea, and are enjoying some yogurt-based smoothies as an afternoon snack. I am even able to sneak in some oats and a scoop of protein powder without them scoffing, but we've yet to make it green. We'll have to work up to that. Anyway, while I was visiting my parents over the weekend, my mom made me a new smoothie that she has been enjoying and I fell in love. It is my new go-to breakfast to-go, and I headed straight to the store after we returned home to stock up on the simple ingredients it requires. Give it a go if you're game...
Mom's Breakfast Smoothie
-unsure of the origin
Blend together:
-1 cup dark chocolate almond milk (I am new to the almond milk world)
-1 banana
-1/4 c. raw oats (quick or old fashioned)
-handful of ice
While I enjoy this smoothie as-is, feel free to add a scoop of chocolate protein powder (if that is your thing) or maybe a spoonful of nut butter (if you are crazy and think that chocolate and peanut butter go together. I know I'm in the minority here, but seriously. Gross. Keep chocolate and peanut butter away from each other, OK?)

He has those granite-hard Scottish genes, so there were no tears as David Moyes said farewell to Goodison Park in typical winning style yesterday.
Yet even this tough footballing man had to visibly choke back the emotion during an afternoon that spoke volumes about the work he has done at Everton, and the immense quality he possesses as both a manager and a man.
He is from the same school of hard knocks as Sir Alex Ferguson of course, so his over-riding feeling yesterday seemed to be one of slight embarrassment at the wave of affection and respect that washed around Goodison Park.
As he entered the old stadium for his final game, he admitted he didn't quite know how to react. "It has been so hard, so emotional. When I arrived at the ground all the stewards clapped and I didn't know what to do," he confessed.
That feeling lasted right until the end as the players formed a guard of honour to recognise both their manager and their skipper Phil Neville, who will also be leaving Everton at the end of the season.
"You know what I liked most about today and what I will miss most? That moment in the second half when the fans were so passionately cheering their football club and not David Moyes," he said with a smile.
"To me, that is the toughest thing to leave behind, because it showed how big Everton are and it showed how great their fans are.
"I feel very humble at what people have shown me today. Whoever is the next manager they will enjoy the incredible level of professionalism these players here have. They played like a top, top team even on a difficult day and that's great credit to them."
Moyes was right. Everton are on course for their best ever Premier League points haul and they took West Ham apart. As visiting boss Sam Allardyce said after, it was only the performance of his goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen who stopped them running up a rugby score.
He made fine saves from Victor Anichebe, Marouane Fellaini, Darron Gibson, Steven Pienaar and Leon Osman amongst others.
It was fitting that Kevin Mirallas got the goals to win the game, because his qualities typify the ability of the manager and chairman to find footballing gems and secure them a rock bottom prices.
His first was a cool side-footed finish in the first half, the second (above) a sharp shot that was deflected over the West Ham keeper off James Collins.

Nevertheless, She Persisted: True Stories of Women Leaders in Tech
It is no secret that the technical world is a male-dominated space. From the cultural belief that Computer Science is a "subject for boys", to the assumptions and discrimination women experience in the field, it can be challenging for women at every stage to thrive in tech careers.
Nevertheless, some high-performing women persist and succeed as leaders in tech despite the gender biases pitted against them. Pratima Rao Gluckman—a female leader in tech herself—embarked on a project to collect stories of the leadership journeys of such women. She wanted to know the details of these women's stories, and how they accomplished their achievements. What influenced them during their childhoods? Who were their mentors? What successes and failures did they experience? What magical ingredients helped them thrive in a male‑dominated industry?
These questions and more inspired Gluckman to interview nineteen women leaders in several levels of technology industry, including VPs, CEOs and directors, all of which are collected in this groundbreaking book, Nevertheless, She Persisted. Whether you are a young woman thinking of a career in software, a middle-career or executive woman, a parent, or a man curious about the role gender plays in tech, this book reveals the secrets, successes, and hidden struggles that women have endured to become both highly accomplished in their technical skills and effective senior leaders in their organizations. Their stories are illuminating, intended to inspire generations of women and help free our society from the limiting belief that ability is somehow linked to gender.
Author: Pratima Rao Gluckman
Rating: 3.75/5
Thank you to the author and publishers for providing me a free copy of this book so that I may have the opportunity to review it!
This was a really interesting book with a great concept. Gluckman, who works in the tech industry herself and found herself really waking up to the gender issues within it, set out on a mission to interview some tech powerwomen. She was looking to tell them world about their experiences, including both how they got to where they are today and how they feel about gender issues in the tech industry.
It took me a little while to settle into this book and allow it to claim my attention, but once I did, I found myself intrigued by these women. Each chapter features a different interviewee (19 in total) and follows roughly the same format. This got a little tedious after a while—I wish Gluckman had varied the structure a bit from chapter to chapter—but not enough to make me put the book down. I also liked how Gluckman provided these women in a story style rather than a question-and-answer style, and I liked that she inserted her own thoughts, opinions, and reactions along the way.
One of my biggest pieces of discontent about this book has to do with intersectionality. There were white women, Asian women, Indian women, and even Israeli women, but no black women. There were also no LGBTQIA+ women/individuals. There was plenty of talk about husbands and finding a supportive partner, but nothing inclusive there. Not even an throwaway admission that heterosexual couples aren't the only type. I understand that Gluckman chose these women largely out of her own network, but a little effort here would have gone a long way.
All in all, I liked the book and found myself interested and motivated by it. I'm not sure whether it will reach or engage it's target audience, but I would encourage young women interested in or just beginning a career in tech to give it a shot.

Some husbands hardly ever really grow up. They might put on a match to the office each day, they could see the paper, in addition they might have apparently adult conversations along with other obvious grown-ups, but all they genuinely wish to do deep down is to liberate through the shackles of conformity and come to be young ones again. Unfortuitously for them but their spouses are not always therefore sympathetic, and seeking only at that funny range of spouse tweets compiled by us, we can not really blame all of them! Which one do you find the funniest? Let us know in the remarks below, and don't forget to vote for the specialty!

If we're making some suggestions
Any of the monitors in this roundup can make an ideal addition to your Surface Pro, but there are a couple that we recommend.
Dell's 27-inch UltraSharp U2719D brings a high resolution, beautiful build quality, and a ton of ports to the table, making it the best all-around pick for most people. Keep it on the adjustable stand or mount it on the wall to save space on your desk. It's not the cheapest option in this roundup. Still, Dell doesn't mess around with its monitors, and you should be pleased with the display no matter what you use it for.
If 27 inches is a bit too big, and you don't want to spend hundreds of dollars, the 22-inch AOC 22V2H makes a better choice. It's inexpensive, it has a 1080p IPS panel, and the bezel is about as thin as can be. The stand can be adjusted for tilt, and it includes AMD FreeSync support if you have a secondary gaming PC with AMD hardware.

Following is the full transcript of CNBC's exclusive interview with David M Cote, Executive Chairman of Honeywell at the 2017 Singapore Summit. This interview broadcasted in Asia on Monday, 18 September.
All references must be sourced to a "CNBC Interview".
Interviewed by Amanda Drury, Contributor, CNBC.
Amanda Drury (AD): Ok so Dave, tell us first of all how the new found aggression and provocation by North Korea is helping your aerospace and defense business.
David Cote: I'd have to say overall because if we take a look at our defense business for example that's only like eight per cent of the company, so it's not a huge number for us. So if I take a look at it first from an overall Honeywell standpoint it's not a good dynamic – anything that starts people focused on spending money on defense as opposed to spending money commercially and improving the lives of their people is just not a good dynamic. We fully expect though that it'll help the defense side of our business because as you've pointed out in the past, Japan, South Korea or others are going to want to protect themselves and be a lot more careful because who knows where something like this can go. Now I would say the general business hope is that this all gets resolved and that they sort this all out and that there's nothing screwy that happens here. And this is where China, the U.S., Japan, South Korea are going to have to work together to contain a significant threat. And we all recognize it's a threat and they're all going to have to work together to figure this out.
AD: So have any of those countries that you just mentioned or even other approached you at Honeywell and said we want to beef up defense capabilities because of North Korea?
David Cote: I would say in general that's a trend that's been going on for a while because it's not like the North Korea trend or the threat is new. Everybody's seen this one coming for a while – so this is just kind of continues on a trend that was already established.
AD: I understand that there are some shareholders at Honeywell pushing back against Third Point the activist investor's efforts to try to spin off the aerospace division because it hasn't perhaps been doing as well as some of the other divisions. Do you think that now, with North Korea in the mix, that perhaps that is your argument to keep the unit?
David Cote: Well we're in the middle of a strategic review of the entire portfolio and this is something typically that happens when a new CEO comes in and Darius was appointed COO a year and a half ago, CEO six months ago, so he started this effort a year and a half ago, looking at everything – aerospace, all of our businesses to see what's the right construct of a portfolio going forward. And we actually have a pretty good track record of, as I put it, improving the overall growth profile of the company. So we used to have a growth profile that looked like this, now we have one that looks like this because we add to the top with acquisitions and we've done over 100 of them and we take off from the bottom with divestitures – we've done about 50 of those. So that's kind of ongoing. Aerospace will be viewed in that process and Darius has talked about doing, making having an announcement of some kind in the fall just because that's what investors are expecting and you want to provide an answer. But I would say overall we're actually pretty impressed with our aerospace business. We would disagree generally that it's been underperforming and if you take a look at margin rates it's gone from like 13 per cent to over 20 per cent today. The sales growth rate hasn't been as good as we would have liked, but some of that was because we hadn't really invested in new platforms. In the last five or six years we've invested in a pile of platforms.
AD: So as we await the results of that review that your new CEO is undertaking, where do you personally feel that the greatest growth is going to come from in the business? What do you think might be up for review because it's perhaps lagging more than it should?
David Cote: Well I'll let Darius answer that question when he makes his pronouncer. Nice try though it was worth a shot.
AD: OK well let's talk about your earnings because you had a couple of great quarters.
David Cote: More than a couple Mandy, more than a couple.
AD: So just in recent history just sort of looking at the last couple of quarters of you know it's been a great start for the new CEO. Do you feel therefore that you're in a strong position to perhaps deliver more in terms of dividends for the company?
David Cote: Oh absolutely. We've committed to increasing the dividend at a rate greater than earnings for the five-year plan that we promulgated in I want to say it was 2014 I think. And we've been doing that pretty consistently. So while we've been growing earnings at about 10 or 11 per cent a year we've been growing our dividend about 15 per cent a year. That'll continue for that five year period. Darius I'm sure we'll revisit that as part of his overview of the portfolio and what's he want to do with everything. But yeah we've been actually very good dividend-paying so we've been a very good return stock. We've exceeded the S&P 500 by two and a half times over a 15 year period. So and that's not going to stop, we're still undervalued on a P/E basis.
AD: I see that when you were CEO for the period of 15 years have the facts and figures here. Total shareholder return of 579 per cent, shares started the year around 116 they're now around 139. So you are going to say that you are in a strong position to increase that dividend come October?
David Cote: Oh yeah we can't commit to it of course. And I would just say that our history has been and what we committed to do is in that five year period increase our dividend faster than earnings.
AD: Let's talk about your priorities here in Asia. How important is China to you?
David Cote: Huge. Huge. China today is our biggest country for sales outside the U.S. and this is a huge change from where we were 15 years ago because at the time we were absolutely nowhere in China we only had about a thousand people there. And quite honestly we weren't doing that well. And we focused intensely on how do we grow organically. Today we have 13,000 employees in China – biggest country for sales outside the U.S.. Only 75 of those 13,000 people are expats. In other words everybody is homegrown within the country. You come into the company as a salesman or an engineer, you can look at it and say I can get the top job because there's a Chinese guy there and I just think China is one of the big three 21st century trends – the continuing emergence of China, and it is really important for companies to establish a strong presence in China where they get viewed as a Chinese company right from the very beginning. So it's a huge deal for us.
AD: I think there was always this idea that China was like the Mecca, you know the land of opportunity for non-Chinese companies to go in, like American companies to go in. And yet when I talk to a number of American companies based in China, they say it's not always a level playing field against the local players. And now of course in the mix you've got somewhat of a tense trade tit-for-tat going between China and the United States. Does this affect you at all negatively?
David Cote: I think it depends a lot on what industry you're in. So if you're in the financial services industry yes it's going to be difficult because China is going to work to control that. If you're in the software or tech, information technology industry yes it's going to be difficult. It's – China's going to want to maintain their controls there. If you're on the industrial side like we are, it's actually been pretty open and we've actually gotten a lot of help from the Chinese government when we've had IP theft for example or copyright theft and they've actually been quite supportive of us. So we've grown very well, profitability is very good and we really haven't experienced those kinds of problems. I mean you do run into them sometimes – you'll have a SOE company that is required to buy from another SOE company even though this SOE company wants to buy from Honeywell – you know the government won't allow it. So yes we do run into that, but not so that it's so significant that we can't do well.
AD: What do you think of Mr. Trump, President Trump?
David Cote: Well we'll see what happens. You know there's a lot of people who like measuring progress based on words and what people say. I've always said well it's different that we want to see what actually happens what actually gets done. So far other than the Supreme Court justice appointment, there's not a lot to really talk about at this point. I thought the debt ceiling and hurricane relief was masterful, getting that done the way it did because we've created this kind of foible within our system where the government votes for a budget and then at the same time they don't vote to authorize borrowing the money to support that budget, they make that a separate vote. So they all vote for the budget and then a bunch of them don't want to vote to borrow the money to support the budget which is screwy. So I thought the deal he cut was actually pretty smart. So so far I mean it's tough for me to point to a lot of negative things that have happened. We can point to a lot of words that we would have preferred wouldn't be said. The climate change – Paris climate change agreement – would be one negative I suppose. But if you take a look at that, our actual performance as a country was quite good against those Paris accord of standards. So I'd say let's see what actually happens.
AD: Because he's got a lot of American Inc. offside, a lot of captains of the country offside. As a captain of industry, as a huge company that is a big contributor the American economy, what would you like to see from the tax package?
David Cote: Well first of all I'm one of the guys that believes it needs to be revenue neutral. We have – and there's but there's a lot of stuff they can play with in there – and I was on the Simpson-Bowles commission that the, I guess it was the fiscal responsibility commission or something like that, but Simpson-Bowles was the nickname for it, and the tax package we pulled together I thought made a lot of sense, which was eliminate a bunch of the deductions that people take and just give everybody a lower rate, and then stop fooling with the system by encouraging various expenditures that the government may like at a moment, but really is kind of market-influencing in a way that you don't want. I still would love to see something like that. I don't know that that's going to happen but I would love to see that. The second one is going to a territorial tax system. The system we have in the U.S. is unique and again totally screwy. So that as we try to be a multinational company, so for example try to grow in China or in Europe or in Australia to the extent that we generate profits there, they have to stay in the country – if we bring them back to the U.S. we have to pay U.S. tax on it. So it causes all of us to keep our money outside the U.S.. So if you looked at Honeywell for example we have about $9 billion in cash. Almost all of that is outside the U.S.. And we have about $14 billion in debt, all of it inside the U.S.. And we're not alone and it makes absolutely no sense.
AD: Is there anything else you'd like to add about what you're doing here in Asia?
David Cote: Oh I'd say this is my I think third trip here this year. I'm a big fan of what's going to be occurring in Asia and what I think China can do to help the entire world develop in this 21st century. So I've always spent a lot of time here and committed a lot of time here because it's going to be important for the region, important for the world, but also important for Honeywell. And that's why we spend so much time here. And quite honestly why we've done so well outside the U.S. and in particular in Asia. So I'm a big fan of the region we're devoted to it and it's been a big part of our success these last 16 years.
AD: Which country is your biggest growth opportunity?
David Cote: Still China. China is just doing all the right things generally. I mean there are some things — I wish they'd focus on their SOEs more for example, but they're growing at a pretty good rate off a very big base. And when you look at that kind of growth, just the amount of growth dwarfs the combined growth of a lot of other countries. So it's still China is the place that you got to figure out.
AD: Fantastic great. Dave Thank you so much.

Each crystal is carefully inspected for quality. We check each tip and facet for chips and scratches, we clear old programming and polish it to perfection. We will not accept any returns with damage unless the packaging was severely damaged in shipping. Should that occur, please contact us immediately or do not accept the box.
The tips of finely cut crystal wands are extremely delicate (and sharp!). The majority of damage to crystal wands typically occurs in the top 1/8" of the tip. Please avoid any contact with the tops of the tips of both male and female ends. In the event of a break, a crystal wand can often be repaired. Repair costs start at $50. Please contact us for more information.
Sizing is approximate. As with all handmade items, the final size may be a touch larger or smaller than as described. True lapidary artists will follow the natural structure of the crystal which may result in slightly different final sizing.
While we take great care in photographing our crystal items, photographs don't always accurately show the true color of a particular stone. The colors shown may be slightly deeper or lighter than presented. In most case, the colors and saturation are accurate. Video is a representation, photographs are of actual crystal wand.

Acta Univ. Agric. Silvic. Mendelianae Brun. 2011, 59, 179-186
Grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Caelifera) and crickets (Orthoptera: Ensifera) from slopes of Macošská stráň and Vilémovická stráň (Moravský kras Protected landscape area, Czech Republic)
In 2008 we found 21 species of grasshoppers and crickets on Macošská stráň slope and 18 species on Vilémovická stráň slope. Both slopes are located in the northern part of the Moravský kras Protected landscape area and have xerothermic character. Both slopes are influenced by pasture management. For the most comprehensive picture of Orthoptera we used a standard method (sweeping of vegetation) and nonstandard methods (pitfall traps and Möricke yellow cups). Termophilous species of Orthoptera on Macošská stráň (47%) were dominating. On Vilémovická stráň mezophilous species (46%) were dominating. The most common species were Stenobothrus lineatus (Panzer, 1796) on Macošská stráň slope and Chorthippus parallelus (Zetterstedt, 1821), Stenobothrus lineatus, Chorthippus bigutulus (Linné, 1758) and Chorthippus dorsatus (Zetterstedt, 1821) on Vilémovická stráň slope. Rare species of this assemblage were Stenobothrus nigromaculatus (Herrich-Schaffer, 1840) which was on Macošská stráň slope only and Tetrix bipunctata (Linnaeus, 1758) which has much bigger abundances also on Macošská stráň slope.

Last Summer

Chapter OneFourteen-year-old Rosie Patterson stood at the window in the living room of her family's house on Pond View Road in the town of Yorktide, Maine. She didn't know why the road was called Pond View, as there was no pond anywhere in sight. She guessed there must have been one years and years ago. And maybe a developer had filled it in to build a house or even two houses. It seemed that every year more land that had been beautiful, wild woodland was being bull–dozed or blown apart so that someone "from away" could build a huge house with big white columns out front (like anyone would really think it was historical!), a four–car garage, and an in–ground pool.
The Patterson house had been built sometime in the 1930s. At least, that's what Rosie's dad had told her. It wasn't a tiny house, in fact, it was the second-biggest house on the road, but Mrs. Patterson had decorated it so that it felt cozy and welcoming, even on the coldest day of the year. And in Maine, even pretty far south where the Pattersons lived, close to the New Hampshire border, that could easily mean temperatures below freezing.
On the first floor were the living room and a small den. In the living room there was a big fireplace with a wide stone mantel on which Mrs. Patterson displayed portraits of the family, including those members long gone, and her small but good collection of milk glass. Generally, the living room was reserved for when guests came to visit, not that that was often, especially not now. The den was the room where the Pattersons watched television or read in the evenings, after the dinner dishes were cleaned and homework was finished. It was probably the most snug room in the house with a thick, colorful rug, a bookcase that covered almost an entire wall, and three big armchairs, one really big, another sort of big, and the third, Rosie's, smallish. Just like the chairs for the three bears from the Goldilocks fairy tale, Rosie had noted when she was little. The comparison had often made her smile.
The kitchen, also on the first floor, was Rosie's mother's pride and joy. She loved to cook and had bought the best pots and pans and knives she could afford. Jane Patterson kept the kitchen spotless and the cupboards perfectly organized. Rosie had long ago memorized where every serving fork and can of tomatoes and jar of wild rice belonged. Behind the kitchen and leading out to the small patio and large backyard there was a small screened-in room where the Pat–tersons stored some of the spring gardening tools, as well as shovels and bags of rock salt for winter use. (The snow–blower lived in the toolshed.) On the patio sat a wrought iron table and chair set, Mike Patterson's charcoal–fueled grill, and some of Mrs. Patterson's potted plants. In good weather, the Pattersons often ate dinner on the patio, though so far this summer no one had made the suggestion that they emerge from the security of the kitchen. That wasn't surprising.
A staircase off the living room led to the second floor, on which there were Rosie's bedroom, a bathroom in the hallway, and her parents' bedroom and private bath. Her mother had decorated both bedrooms with good faux-antique furniture and a few small genuine pieces. The chairs were upholstered in a cabbage rose print, and over each bed hung a ruffled canopy in the same print. Rosie had added her own small personal touches to her room, like a framed print of one of her favorite paintings. It was a portrait of the Princesse Albert de Broglie (whoever she was) painted by a French painter named Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. Rosie thought the shimmering blue of the princess's dress was magical. Rosie had no talent for art, she could hardly draw a straight line, but she loved to study the paintings in her mom's art and design books and thought she might be developing what her mom called "a pretty good eye."
The basement of the Patterson home housed Jane Patterson's sewing room and a dressing room for her clients (Rosie's mom had a small tailoring business), Mike Patterson's at–home office where the family's computer was kept, and the washing machine and dryer. The basement was also where the boiler and all those other kinds of frightening "Dad machines" lived. Rosie had little if any idea of how any of them worked or what, exactly, they did, and that was fine by her. She was like her mother in that way. Stuff to do with gas and electricity and plumbing was stuff that men dealt with. Maybe that was a little old-fashioned, but that's the way it was in the Patterson house.
Rosie touched the glass of the living room window with one slender finger, as if that touch would bring her closer to the beautiful June morning just outside. The strengthening sun was drying what remained of the crystal–like dew. Two robins were hopping around on the front lawn, and she could hear the scolding cry of a blue jay somewhere not far off. The crows were silent at the moment and Rosie was glad for that. When she was little, their absurdly loud cawing had terrorized her. She had been convinced the birds were screaming in pain, not just going about the noisy business of being crows. But then, she had been an ultrasensitive child. Her mother often reminded her of that. And the past few months had further proved that her mother's opinion was correct. She was now an ultrasensitive young woman.
Though at this time of the day she couldn't see her reflection in the window in front of her, Rosie imagined that she could. (Imagining came easy to Rosie.) At times she wondered if there was some real connection between how you looked and your personality or character. It was a silly notion, and one that probably only found its truth in plays and novels where the villains were all short, dark, and ugly and the tragic heroines were all tall, pale, and beautiful. But what if it really wasn't a silly notion? In that case, Rosie thought, seeing herself in her mind's eye, her own appearance kind of proved her ultrasensitive personality and, as her mother often said, her "specialness."
First, there was her long, light blond hair that she usually wore in a single braid down her back. When her hair was loose, like when she had dried it after a shower, her father said she looked like Rapunzel. Then there were her big eyes, an unusual vibrant green surrounded by dark lashes. Since she was little, people had been telling her how beautiful she was. It had always made Rosie uncomfortable, strangers coming up to her and her mother on the street and saying things like, "Oh, my God, your daughter could be a model!" Why did people feel the need to comment on other people's appearance? Rosie thought it seemed kind of rude but was too polite to say anything like, "Could you please keep your comments about my body and my face to yourself? It embarrasses me." Plus, her mother had never asked anyone not to talk about her daughter's appearance—in fact, Rosie thought her mom kind of enjoyed hearing those comments—and Rosie wasn't the sort of girl to protest a parent's decisions. She just wasn't.
She was tall, too, and that was another thing that people often commented on. At her last checkup the doctor had estimated she would grow to be about five feet nine inches, which was a little taller than her mother but not as tall as her father. And she was really slim, which lots of girls at school had told her they envied. But Rosie had no interest in their obsession with thinness. She was thin because she was thin. So was her mother. It was no big deal, no better or worse than having red hair or brown eyes. Sometimes, in fact, Rosie wished she were totally average-looking or maybe even ugly so that people would see only what mattered about her, like the fact that she was smart and tried always to be good and polite and kind.
Rosie's attention was pulled back from the land of imagination and into the moment at hand as one of the neighbors, a nice older woman named Mrs. Riillo, came walking down the narrow sidewalk. Rosie began to raise her hand, intending to wave, but quickly dropped it. She didn't want to call attention to herself, standing alone at the window. Lately, she had begun to feel too much like the heroine of a novel she had read back in eighth grade. She had found the slim volume on a shelf in the den, stuck in between two of her father's fat mystery novels, almost as if it were hiding. In the story, a young woman not much older than Rosie was trapped in her home by her own fears and inhibitions. Her bedroom window provided her some small access to the outside world, while at the same time, with its heavy drapery that she could pull securely shut, the window represented the extreme isolation in which she chose to live.
It was a powerful story with no real ending, happy or otherwise, and it still haunted Rosie. She had chosen to write about it for an extra-credit assignment. Her English teacher had been more than a bit surprised at her choice—most of the other students had chosen to write about action and adventure stories—but she had given Rosie an A. Rosie almost always got As on her tests and assignments.
Mrs. Riillo was gone now, out of Rosie's sight. A neighborhood cat, an enormous shaggy tom named Harvey, was slinking across the front yard, his eyes riveted on the two robins. Rosie shut her eyes and hunched her shoulders as he leapt forward, intent on a kill. When she opened her eyes, slowly and just a bit, she sighed with relief. The birds had flown to safety and the cat was washing his face as if nothing had gone awry. She knew that cats were predators and that Mother Nature was not always pretty. Still, any kind of violence made Rosie feel queasy.
Satisfied that he was clean and presentable once more after his failed attempt at breakfast, the cat trotted off. Rosie sighed and for a moment felt a wave of restlessness overcome her. The day ahead stretched out for what seemed like an impossibly long way, offering far too much time to fill. The last term paper had been submitted and graded, and the last test had been taken and passed. Now what?
The final weeks of ninth grade had been packed with activity, from writing those term papers to cleaning out lockers that had accumulated all sorts of interesting and sometimes slightly yucky tidbits. There had been the homeroom party on the very last day of class, complete with cupcakes and potato chips, and the trip up to Portland a few days before that to visit the museum and have lunch at Flatbread, the awesome organic pizza place with the huge brick oven. Judy Smith, a pretty, smart girl who everyone liked, had had a party in her backyard for most of the other freshman girls and a few of the boys. Mr. Smith had grilled red hot dogs and Mrs. Smith had made killer potato salad and brownies, and though it was still too cold for swimming, a few kids had brought their bathing suits just in case. In the end, Judy's aboveground swimming pool remained empty of all but a bobbing beach ball.
Well, Rosie had imagined all those details about the home–room party and the class trip to Portland and Judy's party, because she hadn't gone to any of them. She could have participated in all three events. But she hadn't.
Here came Trudy Loren, a woman from the next road, walking her yellow Lab. Rosie stepped back a bit from the window, again reluctant to be seen watching the world go by. But Trudy was chatting on her phone, oblivious to the tall, thin girl behind the glass. In a moment, she was gone, heading in the direction of the park.
Rosie stepped forward and once again touched the glass with her finger. If this summer was going to be at all like last summer and the summer before that and even the one before that, she would have a lot of fun to look forward to. Sure, there was some reading to be done for school. Mr. Arcidia–cono, who was going to be their tenth-grade English teacher, had given out a list of novels and nonfiction and instructed everyone to choose two books from each category, read the books through, and write a report on each one. For someone like Rosie who loved to read and write, the assignment would be enjoyable. And she would read way more books than the four suggested by Mr. Arcidiacono, anyway. She had always been a big reader, just like her parents.
But other than the reading assignment, the only responsibility facing Rosie this summer was to enjoy the warm and sunny weather. It had been a particularly long winter; by mid-May temperatures had barely reached fifty degrees. Everyone, even kids, not just grumpy, arthritic adults like their neighbor Mr. Newman, had been complaining about the cold and gray for so long it really had seemed as if this would be the year that spring never came.
Yes, if this summer was going to be like every other summer past, there would be trips to the beach, and lazy afternoons spent lying under the gingko tree in the backyard, daydreaming and planning an exciting, exotic future. There would be the annual trip to Chauncey Creek where they would get lobster rolls, and there would be a blueberry-picking excursion, after which they would make muffins and pancakes and pies with all the berries they had collected. And there would be trips to the green market and long bike rides and movies at the Leavitt Theatre in Ogunquit and . . .
Rosie pressed her lips together tightly and reminded herself that this summer would not be like last summer or like any of the summers before it. This summer would be a summer without Meg Giroux, Rosie's former best friend turned traitor. It was a strong word, "traitor," but Rosie thought it was the right one. Not that she would speak the word aloud, not even to herself, not even to Dr. Lowe, her therapist. Dr. Lowe wasn't supposed to judge her patient, but still, Rosie was afraid to appear vindictive.
Rosie consciously fingered the few thin, lingering scars on her left arm and then pulled the sleeve of her pink cotton shirt down over her hand. At that moment, as if summoned by Rosie's troubled thoughts, Meg, carrying a watering can, came through the front door of her home next door. Rosie quickly backed away from the window and turned toward the sanctuary that was her own home.
Chapter TwoJane rubbed the sponge in widening circles across the counter she had already cleaned that morning. In the past few weeks she had caught herself acting mindlessly, straightening pillows that had already been straightened, adding to the grocery list items she had already bought, even forgetting the day of the week. This was unusual behavior for Jane Ella Patterson. One of the things she prided herself on was her highly developed sense of purpose and organization.
The counter beyond clean, Jane rinsed the sponge and squeezed it until it was close to bone dry. The physical effort caused a dull ache in her right hand. She sighed and flexed her fingers. She wondered if she was developing arthritis. It would seem likely, given all the years of working with her hands. Well, if that was the case there was nothing much she could do about it. Her mother had developed severe arthritis in her fifties. Jane thought it might be an inherited condition.
Jane Patterson was about five feet seven inches on a good day, which was getting harder to find; she often caught herself slumping, and a muscle under her right shoulder seemed to have permanently clenched itself into a throbbing ball. Just after her forty-second birthday last summer, her normally perfect eyesight had begun to fail and she now wore prescription glasses for close work and reading. Wearing glasses didn't bother her; it was the cost of the prescription that was problematic. Both she and her husband were self–employed and that meant outrageous insurance costs. They weren't poor but they weren't rich, either, at least not by local standards. All you had to do was drive through certain parts of York County or the town of Ogunquit and you would find massive mansions overlooking the ocean and estates that went on for miles. But Jane loved her house on Pond View Road and enjoyed making it a home. Some women might balk at the term "homemaker," seeing it as old-fashioned and somehow demeaning. But Jane thought otherwise.

This novel centers on The Patterson family and The Giroux family; especially the mothers and daughters. Have the events in this story destroyed the relationship between the families? I hope you get a chance to read this book and find out for yourself. Rosie Patterson and Meg Giroux have been best friends for a long time. They have lived next door to each other for years. Jane Patterson and Frannie Giroux also have been best friends for a long time too. Over the years Rosie and Meg have confided many secrets to each other. Both girls trusted each other to keep those secrets and they both have up until now. Meg is an outgoing young lady that can stand on her own two feet. Rosie on the other hand is a little more on the timid and laid back side. It seems for months Rosie has been picked on by several girls in and out of school. Meg doesn't like that Rosie won't stick up for herself. In a moment that Meg instantly regretted she blurted out to the leader of the girls that have been picking on Rosie a secret about Rosie. Of course, the secret was spread around school by these malicious girls. The damage done to Rosie was pretty bad. There was more abuse and bullying that came out in this book. I don't want to spoil it for the reader. I found myself wanting to fight for Rosie. I wanted Rosie to tell someone! The relationship between Rosie and Meg and between Jane and Frannie is understandably strained. Will there be healing and forgiveness? Can Rosie ever trust Meg again? Can Jane and Frannie get their relationship back on track? Bullying is never an act that can be condoned. I think more public awareness is needed. Parents as well as school officials should always be on the alert. This is the first book I have read by the author Holly Chamberlin so I can't compare it to her other novels. I was impressed with the subject line that she chose for this book and I feel she did a great job getting her point a cross in the telling of this story. I am looking forward to reading more novels by her. I wish to thank Kensington Publishing for providing me with an ARC to read and review. The opinions expressed are mine alone.
This book was very good. This is the first time that I have ever read anything by Holly Chamberlin. I am not going to give any details away but during the course of time that I read this book I was wanting to finish it and read another book. After I had finished I was moved probably because I had been bullied myself when I was that age. But now I find myself wanting to continue on with these characters. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes Holly Chamberlin or to anyone who is looking for a new author.
What a great story. Not only does it send a great anti bullying message it is a great message in forgiveness and moving forward.
I think this book should be recommended to any young girls out there. Maybe it will be thought provoking enough to change someones life. Okay okay the book ha sa good message. Now for my opinion....the beginning dragged at first and i almost didnt finish this but i am very glad i did. And i dont know if its just my nook...but a few pages were mixed up in the middle and i had to jump between them. Very strange indeed. But this story truly did end up drawing me in. Possibly because the story content truly did speak to me, as i remember all to clearly being bullied and then becoming a bully myself. Anyways...few typos here and there but besides the 4 pages that were mixed up it wasnt anything too confusing and did not detract from the story at all
This book was sent to me via LT Early Reviewers. I liked the idea of this book more than the actual writing. It is a very nice and touching story about love, friendship, and forgiveness. I found myself skimming my way through it alot. Definitely doesnt have a stitch of action in it, so it took me a while to read. All in all I would recommend this book to mothers and young adults who are still in school. I think there is a valuable lesson to be learned about bullying in the pages of this story. The writing though was mediocre.
From the looks of the cover, I thought this book was going to be a nice beach read about a family or relationships. Needless to say, you really shouldn't judge books by their covers. This book ended up being a really serious story about a girl who is bullied and how her family deals with the aftermath. Bullying has been a popular topic to write about, just like Keep Holding On by Susane Colasanti, and it's definitely a very serious topic. In this story, Rose and Meg are best friends until Meg spills Rose's deepest secret to the mean, popular girls at school. Rose endures tormenting and can't handle school anymore. Not only are people at school mean to her, but she's lost her best (and only) friend. Meg and Rose's moms have to deal with their daughters' decisions and depressions that lead to dangerous actions. I understand that this is a very serious topic, but I just couldn't really get into this book. I was not in the mood for a serious book, and it felt like this book was basically all thoughts and no actual action. And the entire story was told after the bullying happened and was retold through journal entries every few chapters. I liked Rose's character well enough, but the big secret that Meg had told wasn't that big of a secret. They're almost sophomores in high school and the secret was that Rose had wet her bed until fifth grade. Who cares?? That happened almost 5 years ago, so why would it even be that big of a deal? Yes, it was very wrong for Meg to tell those girls that secret when they're the ones bullying Rose, but I didn't feel the emotions the author wanted the reader to feel. So overall this book had a really good message, I just wasn't really that into it. It's very serious and a lot of talking about emotions and thinking about life. If you want a serious book, then you'll like this one. If you're in the mood for a fun beach read, then this is definitely not the book for you.
I love holly Chamberlin's books and have read them all. This book tackled a tough issue facing families with teens these days. Even though it is fiction, it was very real. The characters are real and very eye opening. I have teenage boys and they get bullied too. It was interesting to watch the characters unfold, mature and redefine themselves. Every parent with teenagers should read as an indicator to signs of bullying in their own circle of teenagers. There is comfort in the strength of the characters. Loved it.
I just started this book and what a good book it turned out to be .It is a lendable book
LAST SUMMER Holly Chamberlin This is a story about bullying and it's everywhere these days. The grandmother bus monitor in NY was bullied and when others found out, via YouTube, people around the world donated money for her and her cause to stop bullying. Rosie and her family, mom and dad live next door to Meg and her younger brother and parents. Rosie and Meg are lifetime friends but Meg to fit in socially at school told another female Rosie's secret and then everybody in school knew and everybody shunned her. Things get really bad til her parents find out then the parents are no longer friends with each other-the female heads of the families are also lifetime friends. Medical issues arise and many secrets. Love the part about diaries and journals and the 'talking doctor' Rosie goes to. The girls try to work their way around things to get back to what they once had. When the community suffers again from another bullying attack they arise to meet and start a club that they hope will help others. I liked the book and what it stands for. Some kids today I find so mean to others their age and that they have no respect of older people. Hope things can change for them, make it a more peaceful world we can live in. At time I found it very difficult to continue reading this book as the hurt was put there by just others words. Glad I did get to the end, i Looked forward to it ending in what I hoped would not be death. Super loved reading about the different locations in Portland Maine. we do travel there at least once a year.
Rosie Patterson is the target of a bullying campaign at her school. What starts as just teasing from a group of girls, turns into full on abuse. The ultimate betrayal that Rosie receives is her best friend and next door neighbor, Meg Giroux, lets slip a big secret that is used to humiliate Rosie in front of the entire school. This pushes Rosie over the edge and into a downward spiral and ends with self-mutilation. The aftermath ends up tearing apart not only Rosie's family but also Meg's. Both families must come full circle and learn to forgive and move forward. I am going to be completely honest and say I felt no emotion while reading Last Summer. I was fully expecting to be torn apart due to my own personal experiences but instead I felt I was just reading a story. Chamberlin didn't pull me in. After reading the Q & A at the end, I figured out why. Chamberlin has never experienced bullying or any of the after effects., she has only researched it because she was asked to write a book on bullying. The storyline was well thought out but it is missing that emotion that needs to be incorporated to pull the reader in and make the impact that it should. I would still recommend readers to pick this book up just because Chamberlin does tell the story from many POVs and the reader realizes how bullying can affect the victim but also ripple thru everyone associated with the victim.

Productivity Tips for Writers/
I just released my fifth Skillshare class and it's all about increasing your focus and productivity using a simple business tool called a SWOT analysis. The class isn't specifically for writers, so I thought it would be fun to focus (pardon the pun) on productivity tips for writers here on my blog this month.
This week, I'm sharing a few things that have helped me a lot in my writing journey. I will say that it took some experimenting to really find a groove, so if you're currently feeling frustrated, don't stop experimenting. The tip that's going to strike a chord for you could be right around the corner.
When I look back on writing my book, Keep More Money, there were a few things that were instrumental in completing the draft in only two months.
When I was writing Keep More Money, I was working as an accountant in one city, taking my kids to daycare in another city, and living in a third city. Crazy, right?! But I took advantage of all that time in my car to write my book. I used the Rev.com app and the recorder on my phone to dictate each chapter which took about 10 minutes. Then I uploaded my recording to Rev.com and they transcribe it and had it back to me later that day.
What I loved about using dictation was that I could edit each chapter as I went. I write in Google Docs and Rev sent my transcript as a Microsoft Word document. When I copied and pasted each chapter into the Google Doc, I would also edit it right then and there. Inevitably with dictation there are things that don't come out quite right in the transcript and if you talk like I do, you will get some ums and ahs, etc.
Voice to text skips a step in the dictation process. Rather than having to upload a voice file and have it transcribed, you can speak your book and have the text show up directly in the document you are working on. There are a number of tools you can try. Some are better than others at recognizing words and voice commands such as "comma" and "new line". I've had plenty of arguments with voice-to-text apps!
I mostly use voice to text when I'm on the go, because I haven't figured out how to get my microphone to work with that feature on my desktop computer. The voice to text feature works really well in the Google Doc app on my phone. Many voice-to-text programs will allow you to format your document using voice commands as well, but I usually edit my voice-to-text writing right away, so I add the formatting while I'm editing.
I love working with outlines. I make them for everything, including blog posts. For Keep More Money, I outlined the book by identifying the chapters I wanted to include, then before I wrote each chapter, I created an outline for the chapter. This helped me stay on topic and make sure I didn't miss any important points I want to include.
Modified Time Blocking
True time blocking involves scheduling everything in your entire day. I've tried this and it was too rigid for me, but what does work is setting aside a chunk of time where I focus on one specific task (writing, for example). During this time, I am only allowed to write. I can't check my email, surf the web, or go do laundry.
What works best for me, is designating a couple hours at a time for writing, but making sure I take short breaks throughout that chunk of time so I don't get stiff for sitting too long or start to get bored with what I'm working on. I find when I get bored or stuck with what I'm writing, I'm tempted to waste time online, so taking a break to get a snack or do a quick stretch prevents boredom from setting in.
There are many tricks to being more productive in your writing life. If you haven't tried any of these, I hope you will pick one and give it a go. If you've tried any of these, I'd love to know which strategy is your favourite. In my next post, I'll be talking about the power of community to improve your productivity.
