Young drivers gain 'Momentum'
The IAM has launched Momentum, a new two-part assessment designed for younger drivers (17-25) who have passed their driving test.
Momentum incorporates two modules; an interactive online assessment, followed by an on-road session with an IAM examiner. It does not involve an exam and there is no risk of failure. It is designed to offer a quick, low-cost option for improving the confidence, awareness and safety of younger drivers.
After passing the driving test there is currently no requirement to take any further driver - development training - despite substantial evidence that post-test training reduces young driver fatalities by up to nearly a third.
Simon Best, IAM CEO, said: "Momentum is a relaxed and effective way for young drivers to gain experience in a supportive environment to get them through this dangerous stage in their early driving years.
"It's also a practical way for parents to help their children to become safer on the roads."
The cost for Momentum is £40, which will be taken off the fee for the full Skill for Life programme if purchased within 12 months of the Momentum assessment.

Thank you Keith. I had read that and it is all excellent stuff but, and please dont think I am trying to be negative, this footnote still doesnt show that young driver fatalities have been reduced by a third since Austria introduced their system. We should also consider that Austrians have a very different culture and attitude towards driving and their enforcement is far more robust than ours.
It is crucially important to be able to show and prove that post test interventions do significantly reduce casualties in young drivers. All of us involved in this type of training can then work to secure the resources to continue and develop the courses.
David Clark, North Yorkshire
The full press release from the IAM includes the following footnote:
"* The Austrian system ensures new drivers have at least three further contacts with qualified instructors during the first 12 to 18 months of their driving career. After taking the test an initial assessment drive is undertaken to gain knowledge of a drivers experience and to highlight any deficiencies. This is followed by a visit to a Road Safety Centre to demonstrate handling in the wet, speed into corners and the impact of speed on stopping distances. There are also discussion sessions, which take a psychological approach that involves talking about peer pressure and the main risks to young drivers. The final element is an eco-drive assessment."
Keith Madderson, Warwickshire
I welcome this initiative, as I do any scheme that helps to reduce young driver casualties. Can anyone tell me where I can find this documented evidence that, "post test training reduces young driver fatalities by up to a third."
I could certainly use this evidence to support the new driver initiative we are running. I would not, however, feel comfortable useing this information with knowing it's source and how it was evaluated. Can anyone help?

When I am old and gray, with soft wrinkly skin, what kinds of stories will I have to tell? I will tell stories of Africa, and how I saw elephant's bathing, and how I felt the warm sun on my skin. Maybe I will even tell of how I got to run smiling along the Great Wall of China. I will tell of how I sipped coffee, while gazing at the Eiffel tower outside my window. I will tell stories about the world I got to see, smell, taste, touch, and hear. Stories of my adventures, stories of my lessons learned, and stories about the people I have met; stories about my life.
I have learned much from White Swan, the good that things will help me through life. When times are down and I'm feeling low, I will remember the smiles of my friends and family back home our memories and all of our good times spent together. However, the bad will push me to life making me want to go for more than what's expected of a girl from White Swan. I know the feeling of the sharp eyes on my back and the whispers of those trying to keep me down. All the disappointments and grief it's more than enough to make me want more to want to be better not just for me but for those who I love or will come to love. My everyday life here in White Swan is something that I love and hate. I love it because it's were I'm from my roots are here and will always be here. I hate it because it seems so many are consumed by this place, by drinking and barely being able to get by and worst of all thinking that it's okay because were on the rez. I know that I don't want to be consumed by the rez and it's stereotype of fat drunken Indians living off percapitas, I don't think it's okay just because were on the rez. I know that water lilies grow in the mud, and so shall I grow being as much as I can be. Is it possible to grow as a person to bloom if you are in the same place doing the same thing? Probably not, I know that in order for me to grow I would need to go out and discover this world outside of my ordinary. I strongly believe in the wealth of experience being rich with texture and color of life's lessons.
What will you have to say to your kids before your time comes to a close, what lessons will you have to offer them? When I am old with so many years behind me, being content with having lived a full life will be so important. I would hate to wonder what if, what if I had let my long black hair down and lived!
I come from the Yakama reservation and I am a young Yakama woman. I have seen and felt more than enough to convince me things can be better than what they have been. My fire has been fueled, fueled by the problems, fueled by the sadness, fueled by the tears. I know I want more for my family for my people, to set an example to set a mold would be such an accomplishment. Independent is a word that will apply to me. This big world, all those places to experience, all those people to meet. Clear blue water, soft wind so warm when it blows past you have to close your eyes and say ahh! Having to catch your kid while their running away from you when right when your in the middle of changing their diaper. Happiness, fulfillment, and accomplishment is something I want to touch, something I want to figure out how to get too. Someday my face will age and my body will get tired, what will I have to say? What in my life will I teach.
"Money makes the world go around" is what I hear. Who has money? Smart educated people have money, knowledge is power in this world and I realize that. So I figure if I get good grades, go to a good college, and get a good job I will have the money to experience this great world full of African elephant's, belly dancer's, green tea, and crème brule. I will have the fruits of my labor to offer my family; I will be capable of contributing to a husband and kids. There is so much out there that I need to see, so much that will fill me with excitement making me wish my eyes were bigger so I could soak everything in. I have to breath in and feel everything I am so determined to I not only want to I need to. When I am old and have so many grandkids to give me lot's of gray hair and a lot more wrinkles, know that I have good experiences to share. We all get one life to live so it should be lived to the fullest.

To many both inside and outside the art world, seeing the names Sotheby's and Christie's next to the words ''collusion'' and ''price-fixing'' has come as something of a shock. The auction houses have long maintained an air of white-glove purity, of aristocratic connoisseurship. The fact that the houses are now facing considerable public embarrassment, not to mention a $512 million settlement to the customers they allegedly defrauded, has sent nervous tremors throughout the art market -- many collectors especially are wondering how this will undermine the sanctity of art transactions.
But the tarnishing of Sotheby's and Christie's ancient escutcheons may turn out to be a good thing for the art world, and even for art.
Critics of the two houses have long complained that their reputation is based more in hype than in reality. The auction business is in many ways an ugly one, drawing its lifeblood from death, divorce and financial trouble. (Witness Sotheby's recent sale of the fallen financier Saul Steinberg's collection.) And this isn't the first time the two companies have faced accusations of wrongdoing. In the 1990's, for example, the London investigative journalist Peter Watson and others accused Sotheby's of camouflaging the origins of stolen and smuggled artwork. While denying it had knowingly smuggled anything, Sotheby's announced in 1997 that it would tighten its procedures in response to accusations of improprieties.
Ever since the Renaissance, a mystique has surrounded the process of collecting art. This is partly because it's expensive and partly because it's difficult. The popular image of a suave, pinstriped connoisseur casting a cool eye over a dealer's offerings has little basis in fact, however. Your typical collector, at the moment of decision on a major purchase, can often be a mass of insecurities: Is it authentic? Is the price right? Does it match the sofa? In the hothouse, bid-or-pass atmosphere of the auction room, such anxieties are magnified tenfold. The auction houses' overburnished prestige gave buyers confidence in the works they purchased, functioning like an Armani label on a jacket.
Over the past few decades, the art world's reliance on such labels seems to have intensified. Many novice collectors have entered the market; and the art world, like so much of our culture, has increasingly come under the sway of brand names. The collecting boom has been fueled by crazes for one hot label or another: Impressionist, Warhol, Basquiat. (This isn't true just at the top end of the market, either: on eBay, the label ''Impressionist,'' applied to the worst paint-by-numbers sunset, seems to drive bidders into a frenzy.) Two of the biggest brand names -- and practioners of ''branding'' -- in the art world have been Sotheby's and Christie's themselves.
But as the two gradually lose an aura of infallibility, perhaps collectors will start applying higher standards of scrutiny to both artworks and art auctions. Art connoisseurship, after all, is all about the hard work of looking at an object, gathering knowledge about it, teasing out its truths and, just as important, its falsehoods. Brand names -- whether Basquiat or Banana Republic -- are all about saving the consumer from having to look, from having to think.Continue reading the main story
''The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled,'' the critic John Berger has written. And in the art world, uncertainty has the potential to fuel not just curiosity, but a greater sense of responsibility -- among auction houses and collectors alike.Continue reading the main story

- The Eurostar travells from Brussels-Midi to London St Pancras via the French station Lille Europe.
- The Eurostar has an unusual border-control arrangement, whereby passport control is done while boarding the train.
- France and Belgium are both in the Schengen Area, which means that people can pass freely between them. The UK is not.
The practical upshot of all this is that UK border control agents in Brussels check the passports of only some of the people getting on the train. Those who have tickets only as far as Lille are not checked by UK border control. It is then fairly easy for them to use standard fare-dodging tactics, stay on the train beyond the station where they should have alighted, and get through to Britain without going through any border control.
The simple and obvious solution would be to change Point 2 above, and do the border control in London, at least for the Brussels trains (this problem doesn't apply to the Paris trains: they also pass through Lille Europe, and many of them stop there, but for pick-up only, not set-down).
That's the simple and obvious solution. The solution the UK Border Agency actually tried was to attempt to profile "Lille loopholers" and interview them. The Belgian police soon put a stop to that: The UKBA has no legal authority to interview people travelling between Belgium and France. In at least one case, Belgian police actually threatened to arrest UKBA staff.

The Importance Of Names In the Ability to Earn a Livelihood - Starvation or Success?
What does it mean?
The name a child receives can mean the difference between livelihood and destitution as an adult in certain cultures.
Saddled with a foolish or faddish name, a child might not be taken seriously in life or at work among certain groups. This is not true among my Nigerian friends in that wonderful country, Many have first names such as Happy and Sunday with positive results and well paying careers. In Botswana also, people are called Precious and the like without ill effect. In fact, the effect is positive.
Recall Johnny Cash's hit single "A Boy Named Sue." In white America, a boy with a (usually) girl's name is often ridiculed, whereas, in the UK, men are named Carroll or Leslie without ill effect. Then there is the debate of Frances vs. Francis - many folks cannot remember which is the male and which the female counterpart.
An interesting though arises from the old television series Sisters, in which 4 adult sisters were bestowed names that provided masculine sounding nicknames: Alex, Teddy, Georgie, Frankie, and a half-sister Charley. The show did not actually address or demonstrate any results of these names; it was just a catchy hook.. However, when Teddy opened her own store, marketing consultants advised she call it Theodora Reed not Teddy's or the like.
Taking "Teddy" to Task
Teddy. What images does that word invoke?
- Teddy Roosevelt - Theodora Reed (Sela Ward) did not have the moustache, the glasses, or the hat for that image.
- Teddy Bear – from Teddy Roosevelt's hunting tales, the stuffed bear brings forth images of "cute and cuddly." This is not always good for business and may send the incorrect message to some that the owner of the name Teddy is a pushover.
- Teddy – An abbreviated nightgown or lingerie. The nickname could find good application within romantic relationships. However, nicknames are often applied with the subtle undercurrent that the person being addressed with the nickname is a slightly lesser person.
- Teddy Kennedy - Roosevelt and Kennedy could both carry this nickname well.
- Teddy boy - In England, a tough youth subculture of 1950's - 1960's that wore Edwardian style clothing.
Thus, a nickname can bring forth preconceived notions, countered or not by the owner's personality and character.
Jo Jo Junction
Think of any reruns you have viewed on Retro TV or similar television channels of the very old series Petticoat Junction.The opening credits included three young women swimming in the country village Hooterville's water tower, all looking very much like Daisy Mae in the old 'Lil Abner comic strip.
The three girls wore frilly petticoats and were called Bille Jo, Betty Jo, and Bobbie Jo. Usually, none were taken very seriously. Betty Jo married and had a baby girl that she promptly named Kathy Jo. It must have been a very "country" thing to do, at least in a gentle jest. Many female characters on Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, and Beverly Hillbillies carried "Jo" as a middle name, as many man were saddled with "Bob" in its place - Jo Bob and the like.
Country folks with Jo and Bob in their names - or "Joe-Bob" - seem to be portrayed as loveable idiots, while real people with such names are sometimes taken for lesser intelligence.
The actor Billy Bob Thornton probably doesn't have that problem - he looks kinda scary.
The Name of Abuse
Many Hubbers have contributed to the body of content on HubPages about various forms of abuse and violence. It is all helpful in understanding the problems connected with these phenomena. In fact, this is a first step toward conquering them.
Diminishing and belittling are tools used by abusers to control their targets. A nickname used to distract from an instance of abuse or to belittle the target can actually be quite hurtful in the end. For example, an abuser punches hit or her spouse in the face and the target picks up the phone to call the police. The abuser may say tearfully, "Come on honey (baby, Teddy, Lisa-poo, Richey-doodle, etc); you know I didn't mean it." The target puts down the phone and forgives the abuser; the cycle continues. And so it goes.
My Challenges
Among my paternal parent and his siblings, one sister bore the first male grandchild of my generation. My father hoped also for a boy, but did not achieve his wish. He wanted to keep trying until he had a son, but my mother refused.
I was given the nickname Patty - not Patricia, Patty - with the male name of my boy cousin as my second name (that may have been a coincidence).
I was not sent to Kindergarten and had not met many other children when I found myself in First Grade. Confused, I was in trouble on my very first day --
My teacher knew I was a girl, but the class assistant, the school nurse, etc. did not. I'd been sent to school in boy's clothing and leather shoes, with a short haircut that could have been male. I was asked if I was a boy or a girl by staff and I had to say, "I don't know." I was spoken to sternly and sent home, because this was just before school dress codes loosened up to permit girls to wear long pants or even shorts instead of skirts. The school and my parents went back and forth a few times - me yelled at by both - before I appeared at school dressed as a girl.
Next, the school officials would not believe that my name was "just" Patty, and filled out some records incorrectly. This caused paperwork errors for years that continued into college. At one time during my junior year, there were 12 different files on me, with different spellings of first and last names.
Next, employers would not believe that my name was Patty and not Patricia, so there were problems with Social Security funds and other taxes being placed into incorrect accounts, etc. This is not all straightened out even yet.
Next, in the hospital with pneumonia, my name caused record problems again and I almost received the wrong medications one day
Now, what does my name mean? Many think that American names do not mean anything, but many American names do, especially if taken from the old coutnries that settled the New World. They may not be as romantic, powerful, or meaningful as the Native American names of Red Cloud, Raven Guiding the Moon, Cloud Dancing and others, but they have meaning.
Inglish is the name English, changed by some natives of England that live in other lands. Thus, it is an Englishman in a strange land.
Patty is not originally the diminuitive for Patricia (noble birth), but for Margaret (leader of the house).
I am fortunate that I have a choice and can pick the meaning I like best. I could be
Unrecognized Noble in a Foreign Land
Leader of Displaced Peoples.
I like the latter.

What a wonderful Hub Patty. You've got me thinking! Although I haven't yet used my name as yet on Hubpages I'm sorely tempted to take you up your challenge.
What a very interesting take on a subject that most of us take for granted. Enjoyed reading it, thanks.
Interesting Patty. I will have to mull over this one but excited to write a hub about it. :) Many thanks!
Your article is most interesting and beautifully written. Names are so very important.
On a separate note, I'm a "newbie" to hubpages and loving the environment. Please can you let me in on the secret of how to get that wonderful bow you've used to separate your ideas?
This is a fascinating take on emotional abuse through naming, and it seems you still have to fight the stigma.
So, Leader of Displaced Peoples, lead me to more and more hubs!
My name is Andrea. I was very upset when I found out that it means "manly", although some resources say it means "womanly".
I am joining.

The Pencils IRA Project is dedicated to building a portfolio of promising businesses that can be followed and replicated by both young and new IRA investors. Each holding of the Pencils IRA Project must meet the five pillars of a "megagrower" business -- purpose-driven business, innovative products, visionary leadership, increasing cash-flow production, and strong company culture -- with significant potential to create stakeholder value and substantially beat the market over the long haul.
SolarCity (NASDAQ:SCTY.DL) is this month's addition to the Pencils IRA Project. The stock does not look cheap by standard measures of valuation, but I expect this business to trade at a premium for many years to come. SolarCity is revolutionizing the field of energy delivery in the U.S., and it expects one day to expand beyond U.S. borders. Last month the company passed the milestone of 100,000 customers, and I believe it will add hundreds of thousands -- and, eventually, millions -- in the coming years.
1. Purpose-driven business
SolarCity's purpose, since its founding in 2006 by brothers Peter and Lyndon Rive, has been to make solar technology a more-available, widespread energy source. "SolarCity's mission has always been to help homeowners and businesses adopt clean power while saving on energy costs," explains CEO Lyndon Rive. The Rives are determined to demonstrate that people can help the planet and save money at the same time.
In less than a decade, SolarCity has grown into the largest installer of residential solar systems, demonstrating the viability of solar energy as a mainstream energy source. Despite the company's early success and continued expansion, the Rives remain focused on their original goal.
"What's important is the mission," states Lyndon Rive. "If I wanted money, I would have cashed out a long time ago."
2. Innovative products and services
SolarCity's bread and butter is installing rooftop solar systems free of charge and selling the electricity at rates up to 15% lower than traditional utility rates. In essence, SolarCity offers "clean" energy to residential and commercial customers with no upfront cost and lower rates than consumers pay for "dirty" energy sources like coal and other fossil fuels. In addition to residential users and businesses, SolarCity's clients include colleges, school districts, local governments, and nonprofits.
Currently serving more than 100,000 customers in 14 states, SolarCity captures 32% of the residential solar-installer market in the U.S. (up from 17.4% in 2012). "The benefit of market share is it gives us more economies of scale," explains Lyndon Rive. "By getting more economies of scale, we can continue to invest in technology and services that will continue to separate us even further from our competitors and our value proposition to our customers."
Each SolarCity customer contract represents 20 years of consistent revenue for the business in the form of monthly electricity payments. The company's "nominal contract payments" -- the estimated future cash flows remaining on SolarCity's existing contracts -- have increased from $500 million in 2011 to about $2 billion in 2013.
In December 2013 SolarCity completed the acquisition of Zep Solar, a company dedicated to making solar installations more efficient and profitable for solar installers. As SolarCity continues to scale its business on a national level, achieving lower installation times and costs, it will widen its competitive moat. It's important to note that the cost of solar power has steadily decreased -- the cost of solar photovoltaic cells has decreased 99% since 1977 -- while the cost of generating electricity via fossil fuels has increased over the past two decades. As the Edison Electric Institute notes, "Customers inevitably will see these rising fuel costs that electric utilities must pay reflected in their electric bills."
Foolish bottom line
Solar energy, and especially SolarCity, have a bright future (har har). The cost of providing solar energy has decreased, while the cost of providing fossil fuels has tended to increase over the long term. As these trends continue, and as SolarCity reduces its costs via scaling and acquiring businesses such as Zep Solar, SolarCity is poised to reward patient long-term investors with market-beating returns.
For these reasons, as well as the three remaining megagrower pillars that I will examine in my next article, I am excited to add SolarCity to the Pencils IRA Project.

Based on a sequence of discretized American option price processes under the multinomial model proposed by Maller, Solomon and Szimayer (2006), the sequence converges to the counterpart under the original L\'{e}vy process in distribution for almost all time. We prove a weak convergence in this case for American put options for all time. By adapting Skorokhod representation theorem, a new sequence of approximating processes with the same laws with the multinomial tree model defined by Maller, Solomon and Szimayer (2006) is obtained. The new sequence of approximating processes satisfies Aldous' criterion for tightness. And, the sequence of filtrations generated by the new approximation converges to the filtration generated by the representative of L\'{e}vy process weakly. By using results of Coquet and Toldo (2007), we give a complete proof of the weak convergence for the approximation of American put option prices for all time.

New Oklahoma National Register Listings
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. -- The Oklahoma Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office is pleased to announce four new National Register of Historic Places listings. The National Register of Historic Places is our nation's official list of properties significant in our past.
Breadtown, located in Adair County (address restricted) is associated with the Cherokee Trail of Tears and its immediate aftermath. The site is linked to the arrival and resettlement of the Cherokees in today's Oklahoma at the end of their Trail of Tears. The site is linked with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of Oklahoma's history as it relates to ethnic heritage, specifically American Indian heritage.
The Griffin House, at 1402 W. Kansas Ave., is located in northwest Chickasha. Designed in the Queen Anne style and constructed in 1907, the property features the main house and a carriage house on the rear portion of the property. The three-story house exhibits many common elements of the Queen Anne style, including multilight windows, elaborate wrap-around porch and porte cochere.
The Hamilton Cross House, located at 1509 W. Ninth in Stillwater, is an excellent example of the Colonial Revival style. Identifying features of Colonial Revival seen on the house include an accentuated front door, symmetrical façade and double hung windows. The Hamilton Cross House is the only example of the Colonial Revival style in this area of Stillwater.
The McGregor House, located in Tulsa, is significant in the area of architecture. The house is important as an intact example of architect Bruce Goff's early residential designs during his formative years in Tulsa. Designed when Goff was a teenager, the Tulsa residences reflect a synthesis of styles that Goff explored in his early years. The McGregor House is an excellent example of a Prairie Style home, distinguished by its tiered roof with wide box eaves, second-floor penthouse, full-width front porch and prairie style fenestration including six varying styles of windows.
Listing in the National Register is an honorific designation that provides recognition, limited protection and, in some cases, financial incentives for these important properties. The SHPO identifies, evaluates and nominates properties for this special designation.
Editor's Note: Photographs to accompany the story can be acquired by contacting the State Historic Preservation Office at 405-521-6249.

AbstractThe zona pellucida-3 (ZP3) protein plays a pivotal role in oocyte and gamete development. We aimed to produce a recombinant ZP3 peptide using theEscherichia coli secretory system and apply it to a protein chip for detecting anti-ZP3 antibodies. The ZP3 gene was cloned into the pHOA downstream of thephoA promoter and transformed intoE. coli YK537. Recombinant ZP3 was secretory expressed by decreasing the inorganic phosphate concentration. Then, rZP3 was purified and coated onto a protein chip, which was used to detect AZP3A in serum samples from 63 infertile patients. The area under the receiver operating characteri...

Abstract Objective: Our objective was to explore whether the pregnancy rate (PR) was higher than usual after hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (HyCoSy). Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study of 1,008 infertility patients, all of whom were examined by HyCoSy. The expected time for spontaneous pregnancy was at least 180 days after the HyCoSy exams. There were three types of HyCoSy results: type I, defined as both fallopian tubes patent; type II, defined as one fallopian tube patent with obstruction in the other; and type III, defined as both fallopian tubes obstructed. During the HyCoSy exam...

In this Letter, we experimentally demonstrate structured light carrying multiple values of orbital angular momentum (OAM) in the farfield scattering region of Vogel spiral arrays of metallic nanoparticles. Using Fourier–Hankel mode decomposition analysis and interferometric reconstruction of the complex amplitude of scattered waves, we show the ability to encode well-defined numerical sequences, determined by the aperiodic spiral geometry, into azimuthal OAM values, in excellent agreement with analytical scattering theory. The generation of azimuthal sequences of OAM values by light scattering from engineered aperiodic surfaces is relevant to a number of device applications for secure optical communication, classical cryptography, and quantum cryptography.

HomeFootballFirst TeamNewsMessi and Mascherano edge closer to quarter-finals with narrow win over Uruguay (1-0)

Messi in action against Uruguay / Afa.org.ar
Argentina edged closer to the quarter-finals of the Copa América with a nervous 1-0 win over Uruguay in La Serena, Chile. A goal from Sergio 'Kun' Agüero ten minutes into the second half was enough to give the albiceleste all three points in the Group B clash against their local rivals with Leo Messi and Javier Mascherano playing all 90 minutes. The victory serves to restore confidence to a team that were criticised heavily in the press following the 2-2 draw with Paraguay in their opening game. Now only Jamaica, still without a point following their 1-0 defeat earlier in the day against Paraguay, stand between Argentina and a place in the last eight. For their part, Uruguay still have work to do also to reach the quarter-finals as they face Ricardo Gareca's team in their final fixture of the group phase.
Argentina coach and former blaugrana boss Gerardo 'Tata' Martino made two changes to the team that drew 2-2 in their opening fixture of Group B against Paraguay. At the back Pablo Zabaleta came in to replace Roncaglia and in midfield Lucas Biglia was drafted in with Éver Banega dropped to the bench. Holders Uruguay came into the 'derbi de la Plata' against their neighbours having beaten Jamaica 1-0 in their opening fixture in the group. Argentina pinned the 2011 Copa América winners back in their own half for the majority of the opening half but clear cut chances were conspicuous by their absence. The best opportunity of the first 45 minutes came courtesy of the skills of captain Leo Messi. 'La Pulga' curled in a typical left footed cross that was met by the head of Agüero. Unfortunately for the Manchester City striker, Uruguayan keeper Muslera got down quickly to his left to make an excellent save.
It was not the first time in the half that the Galatasaray keeper had saved his team – after just six minutes he had made another good save to deny Di María. Uruguay's best chance of the half fell to Diego Rolán, leading the line for Oscar Tabárez's side in the absence of the suspended Barça striker Luis Suárez. The forward headed just wide on the half hour after a good cross from Pereira. Nerves were evident as Brazilian referee Sandro Ricci dispatched Martino to the stands just a minute later for dissent and then booked Mascherano in the final minute of a half that ended goalless.
After the restart both team continued to struggle before a moment of quality finishing put the Argentines ahead ten minutes into the half. Manchester City pair Zabaleta and Agüero combined to perfection, the striker heading home his club team mate's cross at the near post despite the close attention of defender Giménez. Messi, quiet by his unbelievably high standards, still caused palpitations in the charrúa defence on 68 minutes, racing down the right and whipping in a cross that was scrambled away by Godín before Agüero could get a decisive touch.
Tempers began to boil over as befits a South American derby between two teams who have won the Copa América in 29 of its 43 editions. Argentine defender Rojo was booked for a shove on keeper Muslera as the game entered its final quarter of an hour. The Copa América champions from 2011 threw everything at Argentina in search of an equaliser and Rolán should really have made it 1-1 when he blazed over the bar following Romero's save from Pereira's effort. The Argentina keeper again came to the rescue in the final minute to deny Hernández and to hand Argentina revenge for their quarter-final defeat at the hands of Uruguay in the tournament four years ago.
Argentina: Romero; Zabaleta, Garay, Otamendi, Rojo; Biglia, Mascherano, Pastore (Banega m.78); Messi, Agüero (Tévez m.81), Di María (Pereyra m.88)
Uruguay: Muslera; Maxi Pereira, Giménez, Godín, Álvaro Pereira; Rolán, Álvaro González, Ríos, Cristian Rodríguez (Sánchez m.63); Lodeiro (Hernández m.69); Cavani.
Goal: Agüero (m.55)

Do you know someone that is in jail and want to contact them?
Do you know somebody that's been arrested and you don't know how to find out where they are?
In order to search who's in jail at Finney County Jail you need to navigate to their website and do an inmate lookup.

Also, you can get info about anyone arrested and booked or discharged within the last 24 hours. Inmates are shown in alphabetical order by their last name.

If your friend or loved one could possibly be locked up at a different jail you can check our guide to other Kansas jails: List of all jails in Kansas
A mugshot, or jail processing picture, is a photograph that the jail takes when you are booked into jail. A mugshot is make of one frontal photo and a side photo. Your full name and intake number will be in the pictures, and they are on file.
View Mugshots
Mugshots of Finney County Jail inmates can be viewed on the website, or you can see them at the Finney County Jail. When viewing online you will have to input the inmate's legal name, and an arrest date, if you have it.
How To Get Your Mugshot Removed
Do you want to get your mugshot taken off of the Finney County Jail site? This may not be possible, since your mugshot is a public record. You have to file a 'Petition to Expunge'. This means that your arrest record will be sealed, and will not be accessible. It is difficult to do this, and you will most likely need the services of a lawyer.
For a more indepth article about getting your mugshot removed, the various mugshot websites, and the mugshot removal websites: Mugshot Removal
Bail & Bail Bondsmen – How To Get Out of Jail
Obviously, if you're locked up, your main thought is about when you get out. After you've gone through the intake process, your bail will be determined either by bail schedule or magistrate. If there is no bail set this can mean that you will either be free to go until your court date, or you don't get released while you wait for your court date.
If you are are released you must agree to go to your court date, and you are not allowed to go out of town.
Usually, an inmate will be given an early release in exchange for good behavior when they respect the rules and don't cause any problems while they're in jail.
If you do exhibit good behavior and the jail believes you can be trusted, you may be granted work release. You will either have to go back to the jail at the end of the day when you're finished at your job, or you might have the chance to live in a halfway house instead of living at the jail.
Your bail is how much money that you have to pay to the courts to be released from jail until your court date. The amount you will have to pay depends on what crime you are charged with and how serious it is. Someone will have to pay to the courts 10 percent of the total amount set in order for you to be released from jail. If you don't show up for court, whoever put up your bail money will lose that bail money.
Find Out How Much Someone's Bail Is
To find out someone's bail amount you will need to call the Finney County Jail or the County Courthouse. If you've got the pertinent information, like name, address and date of birth, they'll let you know how much their bail is. You can also find out how much their bail is online.
How To Bail Someone Out of Jail
Posting bail to get out of jail is no fun, but thankfully, its very simple to do. First of all, you need to find out if it is a Cash Only Bond. If so, you won't be able to use the services of a bondsman. They only accept cash at the jail, so you have to take cash – they will not take a personal check. Once you have paid the bond, the inmate will be discharged. If the conditions of bail are not violated, you will get this money back.
Bail Bondsman
If their bail has been set too high, of if you can't pay it, you should look into the services of a bail bondsman. They usually charge you a fee of 10-15% of the total bail amount, and in most cases with a minimum fee of $100. This is non-refundable and is typically cash only. If their bail has been set particularly high, the bail bondsman might request to use assets as collateral.

Discharge Procedures
When you finally post bail, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. The discharge process may take between 30 minutes to many hours. In simple terms, the quicker you post bail, the sooner you will be freed. Also, it can depend on whether or not you've got a cash bond amount or if a magistrate needs to decide on the bail amount. For minor offenses, you will simply be booked and get released without having to post bail. When you have completed your jail sentence and are given a release date, plan to get released anywhere between the hours of 9am and 12pm.
How To Turn Yourself In
If you have a, or if you need to start your sentence, it is recommended that you follow the rules and go down to the jail and turn yourself in. In the case of an outstanding warrant, go down to the jail processing area, and tell an officer that you think there may be a warrant out for your arrest. The officer will verify that you have an outstanding arrest warrant, and if they find one, they will take you into custody. If you are reporting to serve out your sentence, go to the jail at the time and date that the sentence order or court paperwork states. Make sure that you don't show up late. Make sure that you only bring approved items when you turn yourself in, such as your drivers license or photo ID, any prescription medication you might take, along with your doctor's prescription, as well as a sentencing order from court.
Visitation Procedures
The inmate must list information about each visitor to the jail in advance of the visit. Your visitor's names will go into a Visiting log for the inmate. Every visitor is required to provide identification. Any visitors that gets to visitation or any visitors that are not approved to visit will be turned away.
Visitation procedures frequently change, so it would be wise to check the official jail site before go to the jail to visit an inmate.
Visiting Hours
Phone Calls & Phone Usage Policy
The only phone calls that inmates are allowed to make are made through a jail approved pre-paid phone account or phone card . Jail phone calls are usually more costly than regular phone calls. Phone calls are restricted on how often you can use the phone, but bear in mind that there are a limited number of phones, so all the inmates must share phone time. If you are disciplined for an infraction, phone calls could be reduced or totally denied.
The Finney County Jail phone number is: (620) 272-3756
Sending Mail to Inmates
All inmate mail must be sent using the actual US Postal Service. You cannot use any other type of mail or package delivery. You have to clearly write or type the name, inmate ID number, and jail address on the letter. Don't send anything in a box, envelope with padding, plastic bag, or an envelope containing metal parts.

Court Information
Get A Lawyer
If you get arrested, you should know you still have rights, and an important one is your right to request a lawyer. You only get so many phone calls when you get arrested, so it is a good idea to have a friend or family member find an attorney when you call. You may be asking yourself 'but do I really need an attorney' While you are not required to have one, a criminal lawyer will advise you about your rights, help protect your interests and guide you through the legal system. The quicker you hire a lawyer to represent you and work on your situation, the better.
For more detailed information on how to find a lawyer, go to: How to Find a Lawyer
Public Defender
If you cannot afford an attorney, you will be assigned a public defender. In addition, the Public Defender has a number of staff such as investigators, crime scene and forensics experts as well as social case workers. All Public Defenders are actual lawyers, admitted to the State Bar and are licensed to practice law and represent you in court.
Have you ever had to use a court appointed attorney? Do you think they properly handled your case?
Court Records
Finney County court records are public records. They are comprised of a case file with a sheet called a docket sheet and each of the motions, documents, and evidence that have been filed. You can access court records with the Finney County website, or by going to the Clerk of Court's office where the case was filed.
Clerk of Court
The Clerk of Court is an official part of the court who manages the records. They also administer the oath in a court case, and read the court verdict when the jury has finished deliberations. All records from your case are maintained at Clerk of Court.
Court fees and costs are the fees and charges associated with your court case, for example filing charges, motion and claim fees, and court appearance fees. If you are low income and have court appointed legal counsel or a Public Defender, you may not have to pay them.
The Finney County court magistrate is the type of judge who presides on your court case. Magistrates do many different things, such as determing how much your bail will be, issuing warrants for arrest, and overseeing preliminary court hearings and detention hearings.
A defendant's pre-sentencing report is prepared with information about your background and information about the arrestee's life history, which the magistrate judge will review and take into account when determining the sentence. Information, details, and character witnesses will be gathered from the person on trial, his or her family members, and if necessary the victim. Keep in mind you are able to request to get a copy of your pre-sentencing report prior to sentencing, so you get the chance to correct the mistakes.
If you get convicted of a crime during your trial, you will be sentenced. There are a number of different options, ranging from community service, house arrest, and probation, to incarceration in jail or prison. Depending on how serious your crime was, you will either be immediately taken into custody, or you could receive a date that you are required to to surrender and report to jail to serve your term.

Life In Jail / What Its Like
Daily Life
While the prospect of getting locked up in Finney County Jail is quite unpleasant, eventually you will get accustomed to the daily routine there. Expect an alarm for wake-up every morning at 6:00AM, and then roll call. After roll call you will eat breakfast. When you finish eating breakfast you will be required to work in the work program or other activity that you are assigned. This could be working in the kitchen, laundry, or some sort of manufacturing job. While this may seem tedious, it may help you when you leave jail, as you are gaining experience in a certain field of work. Other inmates go to school, while some take part in mandated treatment programs. After lunch, there will be another roll call, then back to work. Your evening will be spent either in your cell or a common room. During this time dinner is served and you will be expected to take a shower. After another roll call, it's lights out. Even though you will be confined to your cell, there may be enough light to read or write letters. Then again, most inmates welcome lights out, and try to get as much sleep as they can.
Most people are frightened at the idea of jail because they don't know what to expect. If you have spent any time in Finney County Jail, your experiences would be welcomed, if it can help another person to deal with it.
Dress Code
When incarcerated, all inmates are expected to wear the Finney County Jail uniform. This is normally a jumpsuit or scrubs. Of note to anyone visiting an inmate – you must be properly dressed. Any clothing considered inappropriate will not be permitted.
How To Send Money to an Inmate
You will have your own 'bank account' while in jail. This money is used to purchase items from the Commissary. Family and friends can deposit money into this account for you, and any money you earn while in prison will also be deposited into your account. Outside money can be paid in to your account via a money order, cash or check. If someone sends a check or money order, make sure that they write your inmate ID on it. The maximum amount you are allowed in your account is $290 per month.
The process for sending funds to Finney County Jail inmates could change, so it would be best to visit the the Finney County Jail website before send money to someone in jail there.
The commissary is the jail store. You can purchase a number of things here, such as toiletries, snacks and writing supplies. Bear in mind that you will probably want to use the commissary daily, and any infractions will get that privilege taken away from you.
Inmate Medications
If you are on any type of prescription medication, you will be allowed to continue taking it while in jail. When you are first processed, you will be asked what medication you take. You will then be referred to the jail nurse or doctor who will be in charge of monitoring your health and prescribing your medication.
You will get three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. As expected, they are very basic, but healthy. A typical breakfast might be cereal, toast, coffee and fruit. Lunch might be spaghetti, salad, bread and milk. Dinner could be chicken casserole, rice, vegetables, dessert and milk. Contrary to popular belief, prison food has greatly improved over the years, and you might find that it's not much different from what you would eat at home.
Pods / The Yard
The jail is designed in a 'pod' layout, with self contained housing arranged around an outdoor yard. Each pod has a central control station and a common room, and the inmates take turns in using the yard. The jail is designed this way to keep certain inmates together, and others away from the general population.
As with life in general, gangs are a part of prison life. Obviously it is best to avoid becoming a part of this environment as it will only lead to trouble. When you first enter prison, you might find yourself being 'primed' to join a gang, or worse, you might get their attention in a negative way. The best thing to do is keep your head down and don't get involved.

Types of Jobs at Finney County Jail
The Deputy Sheriff is the second in command at the Finney County Jail, overseeing the day to day operations and administration of the jail. An inmate is unlikely to have much interaction with the Deputy Sheriff, unless they have committed an infraction. Detention Officers are responsible for the custody and care of the inmates. They maintain order in the jail, and handle security. A Detention Officer is assigned to a certain pod, and therefore is responsible for the same inmates each day. They get to know the inmates on a certain level, and are well equipped to handle any problems that may occur.

June 23–29, 2019
At this immersive, weeklong program, each high school student selects one major and one minor. Current FAA faculty members, graduate students, and recent FAA graduates teach classes Monday through Friday. Participants also join in evening activities such as bowling, ice skating, sand volleyball, shopping on campus, swimming, scavenger hunts, and trips to Krannert Art Museum. The FAA Summer Intensive concludes with an open house showcasing all work for families and participants.
Apply by May 1, 2019, for full consideration
Students will participate in rigorous acting, voice and speech, movement, and scene study classes to learn the art of acting for the stage. During the program, teens will refine and perform audition pieces and theatrical scenes that will be showcased at the open house.
In this major, teens will join the faculty and students of one of the strongest and oldest dance programs in the country. Students will be immersed in intense technical training in modern dance and ballet. Additional styles such as jazz or capoeira (a Brazilian martial art/dance form) will also be woven into the curriculum. A challenging modern dance piece choreographed by a summer faculty member will be rehearsed during the week and performed at the open house.
Are you interested in graphic design but don't have much experience? Whether you make a poster for your favorite band or create a poster for a new unnamed movie, you'll learn basic design concepts using Adobe Illustrator. You'll learn about concepting, collaborative brainstorming, sketching, and prototyping by problem solving. Your final piece will be exhibited at the open house. Although experience with Adobe Illustrator is not required, basic computer knowledge is a must.
In this major, you'll learn about basic industrial design principles and design a product. You will have the opportunity to research, test your idea, and create a prototype for display at the open house.
Are you really creative? If so, this class is for you! The course will use nontraditional materials to explore familiar and/or abstract forms in the creation of one or more small film sets that will be used in a stop-motion animated film.
Students will explore acrylic paint in its more traditional form as well as its not-so-traditional experimental uses. These will include working with gels and pastes and incorporating collage into a final mixed-media creation that will be shown at the open house. This is a great opportunity to create a portfolio-worthy piece!
Umfundalai (MA FOON DAH LAH) is a contemporary African dance technique that draws its movement vocabulary from dance traditions throughout the continent of Africa and its diaspora. Much like Katherine Dunham did with her technique, Kariamu Welsh, Umfundalai's progenitor, sought to develop a movement system that empowered choreography that emanated from an African American experience. Taught by Umfundalai's only male dance master, the class offers FAA Summer Intensive attendees an introduction to contemporary movement practices that emerged from the Black Arts Movement of the late 1960s. This minor is open to people at all dance levels, even those with no formal dance experience.
Do you enjoy drawing characters and creating stories of your own? In this course, you will combine drawing and short text.
In this minor, you will enhance your abilities in techniques such as shading, controlling tones, composition, and drawing methods. Bring a sketchbook! You will draw indoors and outdoors. If you want to learn more about the art of drawing and create an awesome portfolio piece, this class is for you!
Do you have a love for fashion? This class will introduce you to what it means to be a costume designer, and you'll work on your basic drawing and painting skills for a final rendering. The class will be held at the world-renowned Krannert Center for the Performing Arts.
If you are already familiar with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop but want to learn more advanced techniques, try this class. You will investigate package design, wayfinding, and three-dimensional design within the context of multiple exercises. The goal is to get an overview of the variety of work that design encompasses. Your final piece will be exhibited at the open house.
Do you want to have some fun while improving your theatrical performance skills? Improvisation builds confidence and trains your brain for creative thinking. You'll learn techniques for thinking quickly on your feet through coaching, warm-up exercises, and creative performance.
Cast a ring and link a chain. In this jewelry and metals minor, students will make a cuttlefish mold to cast a silver ring and learn to fuse fine silver to make a flexible loop-in-loop chain. Completed projects will be displayed at the open house.
Flap, shuffle, and slide into the classic art form of American tap dance! Learn a ton of moves to fun music that will help you bring on the noise and the funk in this starter class. No previous experience in dance or tap is necessary. Tap shoes are required.
Note: Majors and minors are subject to change. Course descriptions are also subject to change. Courses may have additional course fees or required supplies.
On June 29, students will showcase their talents for visiting family members from 10 a.m. to noon.
Students are encouraged to bring their portfolios for informal feedback from Summer Intensive instructors and FAA faculty members.
Faculty and staff members from the School of Art and Design, Dance at Illinois, and Illinois Theatre will offer seminars focused on portfolio tips and audition preparation.
Current FAA faculty members, graduate students, and recent FAA graduates will teach all major and minor courses. These enthusiastic artists and educators are dedicated to providing a profoundly satisfying experience that represents what it's like to live, work, and study at FAA.
Students staying on campus during the FAA Summer Intensive will spend the week in shared rooms in University of Illinois residence halls. Each room is furnished with beds, desks, and dressers. Students must provide their own linens and will have access to laundry facilities. Housing is staffed and supervised by resident advisors and FAA Summer Intensive counselors. Resident advisors are currently enrolled University of Illinois students trained in community building, problem solving, and emergency procedures.
Those staying in the residence halls are automatically enrolled in a plan that includes three meals per day served in the dining halls. Commuter students are automatically enrolled in a Monday–Friday meal plan that includes lunch and dinner only plus dinner on Sunday.
A nightly room check of 10 p.m. is strictly enforced.
Program deposit with application: $50 (nonrefundable)
Residential program fee: $700 (includes instruction, housing, and meals)
Commuter program fee: $500 (includes instruction plus lunch and dinner Monday–Friday and dinner Sunday)
Course Supplies
Upon acceptance, each student will receive a course supply list. Supply costs range from $20 to $60 and vary by course.
Spending Money
Although it's not required, a student may appreciate having access to $50 in spending money for the week on campus. Teens especially enjoy shopping at the Illini Union Bookstore for Illinois attire.
Students must have completed their freshman, sophomore, or junior year of high school by summer 2019. Teens at all ability levels are invited to apply.
Early application to the program is encouraged, as students are placed in majors and minors on a first-come, first-served basis. Although every effort will be made to assign applicants to their first or second choices, placements cannot be guaranteed.

Ellen Page has established herself as a serious young actor seemingly driven to provoke audiences in some of indie film's darkest roles, performances that capitalize on her innocent, open expressions -- then pervert and mangle them.
She's played a murderous adolescent who baits a pedophile in the 2005 Sundance Film Festival hit "Hard Candy," a street urchin seduced by a nomadic cult in the Canadian release "Mouth to Mouth" and a mentally ill girl wandering the streets naked in this year's "The Tracey Fragments." In "An American Crime," she literally starved herself to portray the real-life story of Sylvia Likens, the daughter of carnival workers who was tortured, starved, beaten and raped for no apparent reason in 1965 by an Indianapolis housewife and her kids.
Yet it's Page's role as the quirky, quick-witted pregnant teenager in the endearing new dramatic comedy "Juno" that's expected to launch the 20-year-old indie film darling as a new mainstream star and Oscar contender. The film, opening Wednesday in L.A., has already earned accolades on the fall festival circuit and landed Page a lead spot on Fox Searchlight's busy promotions calendar.
Even an otherwise escapist exercise -- in this case, a recent morning hike through the misty hills of Will Rogers State Historic Park -- carried a sense of urgency and executive planning. Page was chauffeured to the park in a sleek black sedan. A studio publicist trailed behind and a stylist awaited her in an SUV for touch-ups before a photo shoot.

It's official: I'm back from New Orleans. Well, my physical being might be sitting here in a basement in Toms River, NJ, but my spirit and heart still remains back in the city that gave me the greatest weekend of my life. I don't have any more pictures to share but I can attest that the final day was hands down one of the greatest experiences of my life. I presented more rare Armstrong footage but technical difficulties forced me to nearly run out of time before getting to my show-stopping last clip, a televised version of "What a Wonderful World" from 1970. I asked for kind permission to run over and show this clip, a request that was met with overwhelming applause by the nearly 200 members of the audience. When "What a Wonderful World" ended, people had tears in their eyes. The entire room rose and gave me a standing ovation, something I will never, ever forget.
But though I felt proud of myself (my wife cried for the next 20 minutes), I was prouder for Pops. I've been crusading to get Louis Armstrong more respect since I was first exposed to his music as a 15-year-old. I've gotten friends interested, family members, disbelieving jazz fans, know-it-all undergraduates, anyone and everyone I've come into contact with. My lectures at the Institute of Jazz Studies were all a success but they were aimed at hardened jazz historians. This time, I had three audiences made up mostly of regular people and armed with about two hours of footage of Louis Armstrong in the 1950s and 1960s, I had people laughing, crying, applauding and finally standing up and cheering. But that's the thing...I didn't make them cheer, it was all Pops! Looking out over the auditorium and seeing people ranging from young kids to the 97-year-old trumpeter Lionel Ferbos, I could feel all the love in the room for Armstrong. As I've written for so long, Armstrong's later years are his most understood. Hell, Armstrong himself is probably one of America's most misunderstood geniuses. But there he was, singing, playing, joking around, telling stories on talk shows, interacting with other celebrities, swinging with the All Stars and still giving people the most entertaining shows imaginable, 38 years after he died.
Louis Armstrong has become so damned taken for granted by so many different people: he's a commercial sellout to certain sectors of the jazz world, he's the guy with the funny voice who sang "What a Wonderful World" to most of the general public, he's still an Uncle Tom to certain members of both the black and white community...it's so frustrating, I can't even convey it accurately in words. But when people sit down with open minds and watch Pops onstage, in his element, nobody can deny his genius, nor the timelessness of his being. I might have gotten the standing ovation this weekend, but it was Pops who did all the work.
Otherwise, the weekend was an absolute dream in every way and I can never thank Jon Pult enough for taking a chance on a nobody like me--an average, unknown jazz pianist who has published nothing but this manic blogs and paints houses and plays Italian restaurants to pay the bills--and letting me take my Pops crusade right into the heart of his birthplace.
One nifty thing that happened was I spread the word about this here blog, mentioning it in my lectures and handing out about 75 cards with the address on it to those who were interested. Thus, if you caught me at the Summerfest and are checking this space out for the first time, hello! I know some people got a little confused and got the impression that I house all the rare clips I showed this weekend on this blog. I don't, mostly for copyright reasons. But whenever something good pops up on YouTube, I always try to discuss it, including the clip with Peter Davis on "I've Got a Secret," which I could not show because I ran out of time on day two. You can look through the archives and find my older posting on that one, as well as dozens of others on videos, songs, records, concerts and anything else Pops related. Comments are always appreciated, as well as e -mails. You can reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Finally, I mentioned this briefly the other day but I'll really go public with it now: this Wednesday, August 6, I'll be at Birdland in New York City to catch David Ostwald's Louis Armstrong Centennial Band. I know Vincent Gardner will be on trombone and the astounding Yoshio Toyama is flying from New Orleans to New York for the gig before heading off to Japan. Kevin Dorn on drums and Ehud Asherie on piano will round out the group. You do not want to miss the music, but the company should be good as we've been jokingly referring to this as "Satchmo Summerfest - New York Edition" because it'll be a reunion of sorts of the Satchmo Summerfest crew. Ostwald has had this gig for nine straight years and I really think Armstrong nuts from the New York and Jersey area should make it a point to meet once a month there to talk about Pops and enjoy the wonderful music. Birdland is such a great room, Ostwald leads a tremendous group and the cover is only a paltry $10. Here's a taste of what to expect, courtesy of a YouTube video of the group doing "Chinatown, My Chinatown," with Joe Muranyi on clarinet, Joe Ascione on drums and fellow Satchmo Summerfest-ite Randy Sandke on trumpet:
Exciting stuff, right? So if you're in the area and have $10 to drop, come by to Birdland. I'll be there around five and you should know what I look like since I think I've posted enough pictures of me in the last week to publish a photo essay in Look magazine.
And THEN, I promise, I'll stop talking about things going on in my life and once and for all get back to all Pops, all the time with the promised blog on "Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans." Til then...or for those coming, til Birdland!

Amy Davies - December 11th, 2016
Today we are thrilled to be joined by East West Street author Philippe Sands as he shares his bookish Christmas gifting recommendations this us.
Books I will be offering as gifts this year include:
Mihail Sebastian's magnificent, haunting 1934 novel, Two Thousand Years (Penguin Modern Classics), which is finally available in English, and best read alongside his Journal 1935-1944.
Han Kang's Human Acts (Granta) is as affecting as anything I have read this year, an exquisite, painful and deeply courageous account of the 1980 Gwangju massacre in South Korea.
City of Lions (Pushkin) includes Josef Wittlin's essay on his childhood city, published seven decades ago, an idyllic reminiscense of Lwów, a city he loved as sublime and loutish, wise and imbecilic, poetic and mediocre. The original photographs by Diana Matar unleash the imagination.
Le Roi René (Odile Jacob) recalls the extraordinary life of the great jazz pianist René Urtreger, who played with Miles Davis, disappeared, and is once more going strong, at 82. An enthralling memoir by Agnès Desarthe.
The Return, by Hisham Matar, recounts a personal journey through family and country into the trauma that is modern Libya, a meditation on love and family, on life and country. Beautiful, distressing, humane.
East West Street is out now in hardback, ebook and audio.
Keep an eye out on 13th December for a bumper book giveaway, including East West Street!
