In our modern day society, almost everyone has access to and frequently uses the Internet. This has resulted in a whole new form of crime which is referred to as Internet identity theft.
What is Phishing?
Phishing is the colloquial term that is used to refer to Internet identity theft. It originates from the word "fishing" as it refers to sending out bait that the victim responds to. The perpetrator then "catches" the victim's details and likely goes on to make use of them for criminal purposes. Though the technique was already described in detail in 1987 in an International HP user's group presentation, the first recorded use of the word was in 1996 on alt.online-service.America-online.
Email Phishing Scams and the Human Flaw
The simplest Internet identity theft scam is sent out to unsuspecting potential victims via email. Usually phishers capitalize on an educated human flaw. As educated individuals, our brains have the ability to identify important words or letters and leave out that which is not necessary to deal with. For instance, a number of professionals were tested and the tests revealed that we find it possible to read and understand words which are misspelt or lack vowels.
An email with the subject line "update your details to restore your account" may find its way into your inbox. The brain will immediately flag this as important and get your attention. The email will likely ask you to confirm certain details to prevent your bank account from being frozen for some seemingly legitimate reason.
It is even likely for the email to contain the branding of your specific bank and have a link to their website. The return email address will look genuine and the email may help convince you of its authenticity by providing you with some of your personal information, which was stolen via another form of identity theft. Upon a closer look at the email, it will be revealed that your brain has likely filled in the gaps. The email will have slight errors such as: the return email address has an extra letter, the link to the website has an @ symbol somewhere in it, the information supplied about you is inaccurate. By replying to such an email, you are giving thieves free reign to access your accounts.
Website Phishing Scams
A phishing email may ask you to click on a link that redirects you to a fake website that accurately resembles that of your financial institution. By typing in your username and password, you are handing over access to your accounts to the online criminal.
Other online scams include false links from trusted sites or pop-ups that encourage you to click and access a phony site. Attacks even take place from trusted sites where a technique called cross-site scripting redirects the user from the real site to a counterfeit. This form of phishing is very difficult to detect as everything from the web address to the security certificates are authentic. In reality, Internet identity theft is a real threat and can attack even the most experienced web surfer.
How to Prevent Internet Identity Theft
The very best way to prevent yourself from becoming a victim is by being alert at all times. Be especially wary late at night when you may not have all of your senses working 100%. Before clicking on anything, process what you are doing and make sure it smells right!
Be aware and keep yourself current on all the latest online scams. It is also sensible to keep your computer up-to-date with the latest virus software and spyware. Do not access banking websites from emails, click randomly on pop-ups, or give your personal information to organizations that you do not know and trust. Always ensure that the lock symbol appears in your browser when accessing financial sites and, when in doubt, opt out and try again. Listen to your gut as it is usually right.

Having recently purchased this Wolseley helmet, I was intrigued as to why it appears to have never been worn. Some initial investigation of the name inside W.D.Wroe, 10th Lincolns, led me to "The Grimsby Chums", one of the tragically named Territorial "Pals Battalions" so often decimated on the World War One battlefields. Having never been sent to any of the theatres of War in Egypt or Mesopotamia, I wondered why W.D. Wroe would have had a Wolseley Helmet and why it was in such good condition.
Wilfred Dent Wroe was born in Burnley, Lancashire in 1884, he never married and lived in Baston, Lincolnshire where he was employed by Lincolnshire Borough Council as an Elementary School Teacher. After the outbreak of war in 1914, a 1000 strong 10th Battalion of the Lincolnshire Regiment was raised and based at The Earl of Yarborough's Estate in Brocklesby, some 10 miles outside Grimsby. Here W.D.Wroe along with the other men of the Grimsby Chums would train from Winter 1914 to Spring of 1915, and in May 1915 the Battalion had its passing out parade and took its place in the British Army. The Battalion now moved to Ripon in North Yorkshire for Musketry training, followed quickly by another move to Sutton Veny, Wiltshire in early August of 1915 as part of the 101st Brigade, of the 34th Division. Here is where I found the clue to the Wolseley helmets unused condition. During training a rumour started that the Division was being sent to the Dardanelles Campaign, tropical kit was quickly issued to the whole Division, but as it turned out the rumor was false and the Division would instead be later ordered to the Somme in France.
At some point presumably W.D. Wroe thinking he had little time before the Dardanelles Campaign, must have hurriedly placed an order to Harrods in London for the Wolseley. As to whether he took the Wolseley to France with him I don't know, but the condition of the helmet would suggest not. It looks as if the helmet has almost certainly never been worn to any great degree or if, indeed, at all.
Lieut. W.D. Wroe was killed by shell fire on June 29th, 1916 during the Somme Offensive.
On the 8th April the battalion started marching to Eperleques (ten miles north-west of St. Omer), arriving there on the 12th. It rested and trained till the 5th May, when it moved by rail from St. Omer, detraining at Longeau, and marching to Rainne- ville (ten miles north-east of Amiens), and on the 2 1st to Dernan- court, on the Somme. After occasional tours in the front line, the battalion went into the trenches on the 28th June for the last time before the opening of the attack against the German positions on the Somme. On the 29th Lieutenant W.D. Wroe, of C Company, was killed by shell-fire.
The Wolseley Helmet is as stated in practically unworn condition. Retailed by Harrods, and probably made by Gamages, a major London department store and military outfitter known to supply Harrods with items of military attire. The helmet is, as one would expect from Harrods, of the highest quality, and has a doe skin edging as opposed to most of the Officers' Wolseley helmets I've come across which have leather edging. There is some light mildew spotting to the crown inside, but apart from that the helmet is pristine.

W. Basketball: Vandals maul Grizzlies
Senior point guard Karlee Wilson affirmed her role as a team leader Saturday afternoon, when the Vandals turned a tight game into a convincing win over Montana 75-50.
Wilson led the Vandals with 18 points, going 6-11 from the field and 3-5 from the perimeter. She came one point shy of a new career high.
Guard McKenzie Johnston led in points for the Grizzlies with 11, going 5-9 from the field and 1-2 from the perimeter.
Meanwhile, Idaho's leading scorer, Mikayla Ferenz went the whole game without a 3-pointer, but had help from the rest of the team. Idaho head coach Jon Newlee said he was impressed with the depth his team displayed.
"We really spread it around tonight, with people stepping up," Newlee said. That's what we need. We need people to really step up and not depend on one or two people to have monster nights."
The Vandals kept the Grizzlies off the free throw line and committed minimal fouls.
Despite the large margin of victory, the game went back and forth during the first half. Seven lead changes in the first quarter led to a one-point lead by Montana at the end of the half.
The Grizzlies extended the lead in the second quarter. Guard Madi Schoening knocked down a 3-pointer to put the Grizzlies up by four, their longest lead of the game.
Idaho regained the lead after a 3-pointer from Mikayla Ferenz midway through the second quarter.
Idaho held onto the lead for the rest of the half. At the end of the second quarter, the Vandals led 35-31.
During halftime, Newlee said he wanted his team to play with higher intensity.
"We talked at half time about picking our energy up and not wasting an opportunity and defending our home floor and they did a great job of taking that to heart," Newlee said.
Idaho never surrendered the lead after the half. A pair of free throws by junior post Geraldine McCorkell extended the Vandals' lead to 13, the largest of the fourth quarter.
Once the fourth quarter rolled around, Idaho began sending out the bench players, who did not slow the offense's pace. Idaho gained a 25-point advantage by the time the final buzzer sounded.
Coming off a tough loss to Montana State on Thursday, the Vandals needed a win against a Big Sky opponent.
"The mentality in this game was way different after. We were really excited. It is great to come off a loss, at home especially, and beat Montana the way we did," Wilson said.
Wilson also played fierce defense. She contributed to five out of the Vandals eight steals, a career high.
"I think I've always had a nose for the ball. I'm not afraid to go through their biggest person to try and get it," Wilson said.
After splitting two home games, Idaho goes back on the road to face Portland State. The Vandals tip off against the Vikings 7 p.m. Feb. 2 in Oregon.

Daring Bakers Macaroons
The 2009 October Daring Bakers' challenge was brought to us by Ami S. She chose macarons from Claudia Fleming's The Last Course: The Desserts of Gramercy Tavern as the challenge recipe.
I was waiting for a challenge like this one for a long time. It was not easy to obtain the right consistency, but after the first round in the oven I added more almond flour and it became better.
My choice of flavours were the basic one with a bit of yellow food coloring filled with Nutella (hazelnut spread) and chocolate macaroons filled with After Eight (mint chocolate). They were both quite good. Thanks for the challenge!
Confectioners' (Icing) sugar: 2 ¼ cups (225 g, 8 oz.)
Almond flour: 2 cups (190 g, 6.7 oz.)
Granulated sugar: 2 tablespoons (25 g , .88 oz.)
Egg whites: 5 (Have at room temperature)
1. Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C). Combine the confectioners' sugar and almond flour in a medium bowl. If grinding your own nuts, combine nuts and a cup of confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a food processor and grind until nuts are very fine and powdery.
2. Beat the egg whites in the clean dry bowl of a stand mixer until they hold soft peaks. Slowly add the granulated sugar and beat until the mixture holds stiff peaks.
3. Sift a third of the almond flour mixture into the meringue and fold gently to combine. If you are planning on adding zest or other flavorings to the batter, now is the time. Sift in the remaining almond flour in two batches. Be gentle! Don't overfold, but fully incorporate your ingredients.
4. Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a plain half-inch tip (Ateco #806). You can also use a Ziploc bag with a corner cut off. It's easiest to fill your bag if you stand it up in a tall glass and fold the top down before spooning in the batter.
5. Pipe one-inch-sized (2.5 cm) mounds of batter onto baking sheets lined with nonstick liners (or parchment paper).
6. Bake the macaroon for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and raise the temperature to 375°F (190°C). Once the oven is up to temperature, put the pans back in the oven and bake for an additional 7 to 8 minutes, or lightly colored.
7. Cool on a rack before filling.

Shooting of the talkie part of Vengamamba with Meena playing the title role, Saikiran and Saratbabu in other key roles, under the direction of Udaybhaskar and produced by V Doraswamy Raju under the banner of VMC Productions, was completed recently.
Speaking on the occasion, the producer said, 'We have erected a huge set resembling the Tirumala temple and shot some important and climax scenes, besides the climax song there recently. There are a total of 21 songs in the film. We have tried our best to explain how Vengamamba paid her respects to Lord Venkateswara by rendering songs to him. Keeravani has given melodious tunes to all the songs."

Gary Young shared a plea on Facebook regarding the plight of Eric Pomponi, who has a MAJOR medical problem. There is a link to a fund raising site. PLEASE contribute on the GoFundMe site!
This and other divers' situations prompts me to again put forward the suggestion that ALL of us should be protecting our futures. Too often a person cannot have the financial assets to meet emergency needs. As a profession, we can amass a Fund which can at least help when one of our colleagues must deal with health issues.
PLEASE speak out in favor of a monthly contribution to such a fund with the DA. We CAN make a difference! If YOU were stricken by accident or disease tomorrow could you cover all the expenses? Even with good insurance coverage it can be a real burden for the afflicted and their dependents.
There has been little response endorsing the idea of such monthly contributions and I am inclined to think that we tend to be focused on our personal goals. Divers helping divers is the best shot at GETTING help when need arises... so RISE UP! Make known your willingness to make a small contribution monthly. With 1000 members putting $10 / month into such a fund, we can help many in need!

Jim Sturgess: 'The minute you relax is the minute it all goes wrong'
Jim Sturgess stands by his passion for independent cinema, but the new BBC wartime drama Close To The Enemy was a lure he couldn't resist, says Keeley Bolger
Jim Sturgess isn't the type to rest on his laurels. Experience has taught him that if he wants other people to feel as passionate about independent cinema as he does, he has to bang the drum the loudest - and social media is the perfect platform.
"I like having control over letting people know what I'm doing," says the 38-year-old, explaining his fondness for posting on Instagram.
"You can actually reach an audience and you can cut out the middle man, who usually f***s it up."
Due to shoestring budgets, the marketing of independent cinema is practically non-existent, he notes.
"You're really struggling to get your film seen," adds the actor.
It doesn't hurt that he has the backing of Anne Hathaway, his co-star in 2011's One Day. The Oscar-winning actress recently gave a significant plug for his band Tragic Toys', new demo, which will raise money for a friend living with severe MS.
As a teenager in Surrey and member of the National Youth Music Theatre, Sturgess has played in bands since he was 15, and even set off to Manchester to study media and performance at Salford University.
While there he fell in with the local arts scene, met an agent while performing poetry and refocused his efforts on acting.
Following his breakthrough role in Beatles musical Across The Universe in 2007, he's since appeared in 2008 drama The Other Boleyn Girl and 2012's Cloud Atlas - but nerves are always present on the first day of a shoot.
"You always feel like you can't do it," admits Sturges.
"You always feel like someone has made a terrible mistake; why have they cast you in this part?
"In Feed The Beast (a TV series co-starring David Schwimmer), I was playing some kid from the Bronx. You're like, 'I'm from London. Why have you cast me to play this big character from the Bronx?'"
Not that this uncertainty is entirely a bad thing, mind.
"You need that energy. There would be something wrong if you didn't have that adrenaline. You kind of need it to get you through," says Sturgess. "The minute you relax is the minute it all goes wrong."
For the first time in his career, he's set to appear on the small screen, as the lead in BBC Two's Close To The Enemy.
"I've not done a television show before. I've come from the world of films, so it was a bit out of the box for me. I thought it would be really interesting doing a TV drama, and not have to struggle through the pain of independent film-making," he confesses.
Written by Stephen Poliakoff, the seven-part series is set in a bomb-damaged London hotel in the aftermath of the Second World War.
Sturgess plays Captain Callum Ferguson, whose last task for the army is to recruit captured German scientist Dieter (August Diehl) to work for the British RAF on developing the jet engine. Although enemies at first, the two men find common ground, though it isn't long before tension mounts.
"It's a brilliant title for all the little dynamics going on with all the characters," explains Sturgess, who also appears alongside Phoebe Fox, Alfred Molina, Angela Bassett and Lindsay Duncan in the series.
"It's this idea that these two brilliant men are having to put the past behind them to focus on the future.
"It's this moral tightrope Callum walks between - what these people really did during that time, how much they should be made accountable for, and how important is it that we actually extract information and be prepared and more advanced as a country, and ready for the Cold War."
Close To The Enemy begins on BBC2 tomorrow at 9pm

It's been over a year since Dukan It Out by Special Order Recipes was launched and I want to say a big "Thank you!" to my existing readers and a friendly "Hello!" to my new readers! I hope you've enjoyed the Dukan Diet recipes I have posted so far!
I followed the Dukan Diet beginning in March of 2011 and reached my goal weight in June, right on target. I can't say enough good things about this diet because it works!
I love cooking and I love being healthy, so I decided to combine these two passions and launch this blog. Dukan It Out is filled with recipes inspired to keep people on track with following the diet. I do this according to my understanding and interpretation of the Dukan Diet.
My goals with Dukan It Out are:
- Help people understand that food doesn't have to taste bad to be healthy
- To show that every good recipe has many variations that can adapt to anyone's personal tastes, needs, and preferences
- To help you follow the Dukan Diet (a super cool diet!) by providing you interesting recipes in your quest to stay healthy
- And of course, to share my happiness of cooking and eating really good food!
This diet really does work, but you have to stick to the rules. I have to admit, over a year later I gained some of the weight back but it's due to my lack of following the rules and not always eating healthy. But, if you stick to the rules, you will see results that will stick. I pretty much live my life on the Cruise Phase, as you can tell by my recipes. I hope to lose 10 pounds again this year in 2013. I thank all of you for inspiring me and all the kind words that have come my way over these past months.
Taking care of your body should always be your main concern. Followed by…eating really good food! Alas, food is the battle of good and evil. I hope my recipes can help you win your "battle" between eating tasty, wholesome, and nutritional foods vs. high-calorie, high-fat, and simple-carb laden foods.
To your health,
Some more features of the site:
- Motivation Corner – People will be able to read your success stories and keep inspired–please email me your story at email@example.com!

THE game is in the balance and every contest is critical, every action vital and any false move deadly.
This is the moment for a very special cohort of AFL player — the clutch men.
The clutch men are the precious few who separate games. They decide whether you win or you lose.
They identify and understand what's required when the game is at its most intense. They think with composure, instruct with clarity and execute with precision.
These players affect your clubs fortunes more than any other. They are more than mere structural players and far more than talented players.
Champion Data has assessed all players when games are within a 12-point margin. They have averaged ranking points for those who've played a minimum of 200 minutes under this pressure.
What Champion has established is factual, not perception, and allow us to accurately measure impact.
It's inarguable in 2014 that Scott Pendlebury is the AFL's LeBron James — the league's best player in the clutch.
As witnessed again last week against a fired-up West Coast, Pendlebury delivered in the final term when the Pies desperately needed a goal. Pendlebury averages a mammoth 145 ranking points in clutch time.
Gary Ablett, Steve Johnson and Joel Selwood are hot on his heels. No wonder Geelong has had such an amazing win/loss record over the past seven to eight years. It's also no surprise Hawthorn has struggled to outgun the Cats in the moments that matter.
If you can't picture your club's clutch player then maybe that's the reason for their win/loss record. Who's separating games for your team? The next wave of clutch players on the rise are set to take the competition by storm and given their youth it would appear they'll do so for some time.
Tom Liberatore has continued after last year's bloom, Dion Prestia's elevation into the competition's elite has been franked and Adam Treloar's numbers validate his ascension to GWS's most potent midfielder and game-breaker.
All ranked in the AFL's top 10 in clutch time despite their career infancy.
Ablett, Prestia, Jaeger O'Meara and David Swallow are the reason behind the meteoric uprising of the Suns, with that quartet ranked in the AFL's top 13 when the game is in the balance.
In two to three seasons when Ablett needs to play more minutes as a forward, it will make little difference to their midfield damage.
Those ranked last among the 383 players who've played at least 200 minutes in clutch time when games are won in 2014 include Cyril Rioli. Yes, Cyril Rioli.
Rioli falling from averaging 97 points once game is effectively decided to 60 points when it's at its hottest. Cyril does cash-in post clutch as a rule, but this season he hasn't had the clutch time involvement to match his status in the game.
West Coast's Josh Kennedy, Richmond's Jack Riewoldt, North Melbourne enigma Lindsay Thomas and Adelaide's Josh Jenkins will not enjoy reviewing their clutch results in 2014. Their performance drops 15 to 20 per cent when the game is on the line.
Collingwood's Travis Cloke has simply been a passenger in the clutch averaging only 46 points, which ranks 369th of 383 players to meet the criteria.
It's hardly the return of a marquee talent on a franchise contract. At the Dogs, Mitch Wallis' meagre clutch time average of 38 points highlights why selection has become an issue.
Hawthorn's Shaun Burgoyne epitomises everything a "money man" should be and is the Hawks' biggest playmaker when required. Burgoyne is a classy flanker who transforms into a game-breaking midfielder when clutch time arrives.
Sam Mitchell is Hawthorn's next most potent clutch player and the Hawks are hurting while he's missing.
Chad Wingard desires the LeBron nickname, but the reality is 12 other Port Adelaide players are better performers in the clutch, with Ollie Wines the No. 1, averaging 108 Champion Data ranking points.
Clutch players live for the occasion and finals are their playground. Leo Barry you star, Ablett bending a snap around the corner, Nick Davis … Yes Huddo, I see it and I don't believe it either.
The link between those moments and those players isn't lost on recruiters, they're one and the same. Don't expect a non-clutch type to surprise — it doesn't happen, it's not in their DNA.

Dove Purely Pampering Body Lotion with coconut milk & jasmine
I've been a Dove fan for as long as I can remember. It's their creamy, freshly scented formulas that helped me make the transition from soap to shower gel. Their products are, to put it properly, purely pampering and their campaigns, heart warming.
For a while, my favorite product has been the Dove Purely Pampering Body Lotion with coconut milk and jasmine petals, a combination so sweet and nourishing, that I had to tell you more about it. This body lotion is one of the three of the range, others being Shea Butter & Warm Vanilla and Almond Cream & Hibiscus scented. Luckily for those who prefer to match their body lotion to their shower gel, hand cream and their deodorant, you find these infused with coconut milk and jasmine petals as well.
If you've used Dove (and I can't imagine you haven't, really) then you know everything about the formula. Perfect beyond description, leaving your skin soft and smooth, without any greasy film on top.
This body lotion absorbs so fast, it's unbelievable. Even more so than other lotions I've tried from the brand. It almost makes the skin feel a bit powdery after a few seconds, just in time to jump into my trousers and walk out the door. I think it will be my go-to product during the hot summer days.
Ingredients & benefits
Enriched with the NutriumMoisture technology and the DeepCare Complex, basically glycerin, rich essential oil, coconut extract, urea and collagen amino acids, the Purely Pampering body lotion is to moisturizing, you don't even need to apply in on a daily basis. Although, the scent is so amazing you won't be able to resist.
Another difference between Dove and other brands is in regards to texture. All of the lotions from this range are absorbed very quickly and are not sticky, runny or greasy. This is so convenient for me since I almost always end up slipping other products all over the floor when I apply lotion.
This lotion is so thick and the dispenser is so small, that you won't cause any accidents however prone to such thing you may be. The bottles are ergonomically designed, with a curved ridge on the side for easy handling and a flip-top lid that comes off easily.
A small amount is needed to moisturize your skin and you don't need to use it on a daily basis. Suffice to say, this baby will last you for a fair amount of time. My skin feels immediately softer after I apply the lotion and it maintains its suppleness throughout the day, so I tend to believe Dove's claim that the lotion will leave your skin nourished for about 10 days. Frankly, I never waited that long, so I couldn't say..
Coconut milk & Jasmine petals scent
The scent is the most impressive part of the Dove Purely Pampering Body lotion. Cleverly combined, the scents make a great combo, without been overpowering. The coconut scent is not quite as strong as you might imagine, which is fine by me since I tend to associate its perfume with sun oil anyway. Instead, the jasmine petals give it a soft, clean, floraly scent, that is so feminine and fresh.
Its comforting scent fills your shower to leave you in peaceful tranquility while nourishing and pampering your skin. It lingers on your skin softly throughout the day, relaxing you and making you feel caressed. I simply love it!

The Fund employs a "passive management" – or indexing – investment approach designed to track the performance of the Underlying Index, which was developed by Financial Development Holdco LLC ("IndexIQ"), the parent company of IndexIQ Advisors LLC, the Fund's investment advisor (the "Advisor"). The Underlying Index is a rules based, modified capitalization weighted, float adjusted index intended to give investors a means of tracking the overall performance of the small capitalization sector of publicly traded companies domiciled and primarily listed on an exchange in South Korea.
The Underlying Index Components that are eligible for inclusion in the Underlying Index include the following characteristics, measured as of each quarterly rebalance date:
- Issuer domiciled in South Korea;
- Primary stock exchange listing in South Korea;
- Minimum average market capitalization of $150 million for the prior 90 days and as of the quarterly rebalance date;
- Maximum average market capitalization equal to the bottom 15 percent ranking of companies in South Korea based on market capitalization for the prior 90 days (the "Market Cap Ceiling");
- Minimum average daily trading volume of at least $1 million for the prior 90 days; and
- Minimum monthly volume of 250,000 shares each month over the prior six months.
Securities of issuers with recent stock exchange listings (i.e., recent initial public offerings) may be added to the Underlying Index on a quarterly basis, provided that the companies meet all eligibility criteria and have been trading for more than 10 trading days. Existing Underlying Index Components whose average market capitalization falls below $100 million or increases above the level 65% higher than the Market Cap Ceiling for the 90 days prior to any rebalancing date will no longer be eligible for inclusion.
The Underlying Index Components are selected quarterly in connection with the reconstitution of the Underlying Index. Their respective weights are rebalanced quarterly in connection with the rebalance of the Underlying Index.
As of December 31, 2009, the U.S. dollar-denominated market capitalizations of the Underlying Index Components ranged from approximately $300 million to approximately $725 million. For additional information about the Fund's principal investment strategies, see "Additional Description of the Principal Strategies of the Funds."

Innovation paths and the innovation performance of low-technology firms--An empirical analysis of German industry
This paper analyses innovation paths and the innovation performance of low-technology firms in comparison to medium- and high-technology firms. Firstly, it shows that low-, medium- and high-technology sectors consist of a considerable mix of low-, medium- and high-technology firms. Thus, it is necessary to look at the firm level when analysing how innovation patterns differ depending on the level of R&D intensity. Secondly, the product and process innovation performance of low-technology firms in German industry is analysed based on data from 1663 firms in the German Manufacturing Survey 2006, applying a set of both product and process related innovation output indicators. The empirical results show that low-technology manufacturing firms lag behind their medium- and high-tech counterparts regarding their product and service innovation performance, to a large degree on purely definitional grounds, but that they seem to perform equally well and in some respects even better at process innovation.

For a city that's only seven miles by seven miles, San Francisco can feel larger than life with its colourful neighbourhoods, thriving foodie scene and must-see museums – not to mention the fact that California's wine country is right on its doorstep. Here are seven reasons to visit the City by the Bay
1. Neighbourhood watch
San Francisco is fascinating for its diversity – in culture, population and architecture. Take a couple of hours to walk around the neighbourhoods. They vary hugely, from the bustle of Union Square to the old-world elegance of the Painted Ladies (a group of colourful Victorian houses) and the calm of Golden Gate Park.
2. Two wheels good
If you want to explore away from the city centre, hire a bike from Blazing Saddles and cycle over Golden Gate Bridge to the pretty coastal town of Sausalito. After an ice cream on the seafront, take the ferry back to the city past Alcatraz and into Fisherman's Wharf, where you can reward yourself with a steaming bowl of clam chowder from one of the stalls.
3. Market values
The Ferry Building has been redeveloped into a lively marketplace that celebrates Californian food. The farmers market is open three days a week – Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The weekdays see smaller markets occupy the front of the building along the Embarcadero, while on Saturdays, the much larger market is held both in front of the Ferry Building and on the rear plaza overlooking the Bay. Up-and-coming chefs have opened restaurants here as well. Charles Phan's The Slanted Door is a great spot for casual modern Vietnamese fare. If you're struggling to get a table, pull up a seat at its no-reservations bar.
A number of chefs have turned to food trucks to feed the masses, with anything from Korean tacos to chocolate-covered bacon on the menu
4. Meals on wheels
A number of chefs have turned to food trucks to feed the masses, with anything from Korean tacos (hello, Seoul on Wheels) to chocolate-covered bacon (Bacon Bacon do wonderful things with the humble breakfast staple) on the menu. They usually turn up in different neighbourhoods on different nights, so check Off the Grid to find out who will be near you.
Dinner with a view
Fisherman's Grotto has been a San Fran institution since 1935. Enjoy Dungeness crab, clam chowder and lobster thermidor, as you soak up views of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Gold rush
Yountville is named after George Yount – the man who planted the first grapevines in Napa Valley in the 1830s. He began producing wine 20 years later when thirsty miners descended on the area during the Gold Rush.Чем заняться в Сан-Франциско
Try it for yourself…
For $310 (£211) per person you can sample one of two menus at The French Laundry: a nine-course Chef's Tasting Menu and a nine-course Tasting of Vegetables.
5. Wine country
San Francisco is just an hour-and-a-half drive from Napa and Sonoma, home to California's most famous vineyards. Book a tasting at the Wattle Creek Winery– the sparkling Shiraz is particularly refreshing. Nearby Yountville is home to one of America's most famous restaurants, Thomas Keller's TheFrench Laundry.
6. Museum time
Culture infuses everything about San Francisco – its diversity, focus on innovation and creation, and its famous museums. The Museum of Modern Art reopened early in 2016 following a multi-million dollar expansion. Get there at opening time (10:00) and beat the crowds to see the newly acquired Andy Warhol pieces - Silver Marlon and Triple Elvis.
Picture that
With 170,000 square feet of exhibition space, SF MOMA is one of the largest museums in the world for modern and contemporary art. The current collection includes over 33,000 paintings, sculptures, photographic images and design pieces.Plan a trip to San Francisco
7. Retail therapy
San Francisco has a healthy shopping scene. There are big-name stores in Union Square, with more bohemian independent shops in the neighbourhood of Haight-Ashbury. Check out Amoeba Music, a former bowling alley that now boasts the world's biggest CD collection. China Town is also worth a look, especially for knick-knacks and food.

Bob Baghai always told his best friend, Geoff Schnitzer, that he should meet this girl named Erika Chavez from Escondido. She was beautiful, she was smart, she was always going out of her way to help others. Bob had met her at one of the many parties he threw on the weekends at a condo Geoff owned in San Diego. Geoff himself was never there because he was with his son on the weekends.
This girl, Erika, she had a boyfriend, but Bob didn't really think that relationship was meant to be. "Trust me, if you just talk to her, it won't be a problem," Bob told Geoff. "I think you guys are perfect for each other."
Geoff wasn't so sure. He'd just been through a painful divorce and was a little gun shy, to say the least. Plus, what did he need a girlfriend for? He had Bob.
"Bob was like my 'work wife,' my partner," says the 39-year-old founder of Image One Graphics in San Clemente. "If we went on vacation, he would plan the vacation. We would go on double dates and just have fun, you know? If you ever saw that show 'Rob and Big,' it was like that. He was the big dude, I was the little guy. We just had fun hanging out together."
The BFFs always helped each other out – when Geoff was going through his breakup, Bob was the one he confided in. When Bob decided to lose weight – he was a bear of a man, at one point topping the scales at 400 pounds – Geoff was there to encourage him to stick to his eating plan and work out with his trainer. Success! Bob lost 100 pounds – heck, his cholesterol level was better than Geoff's. Life was good.
That's why it was so strange one Friday when Geoff didn't get a call back from his friend. All day Saturday, no text, no messages. "I just had a weird feeling," says Geoff.
He had plans to take his son Dylan to an Angels game, but that weird feeling wouldn't go away. He told his ex-wife he'd be a little late to pick up Dylan because he was going to swing by Bob's house to check on him.
When Geoff got to the house, neighbors said Bob's car hadn't left the driveway in days. Weird. He rang the doorbell, he sent texts.
Nothing. Weirder still.
He went around the back of the house, and that's when he saw his friend through the bedroom window, facedown on the bed.
Geoff called 911 and frantically tried to help his best friend, but it was far too late. The big man's heart had just stopped. Bob was gone at age 34.
Geoff gave the eulogy at the funeral. All Bob's friends and family came up to thank him for his words, including Erika Chavez. He recognized her from the picture Bob had once shown him. She told him she was sorry for his loss, and then she was gone. And that was the end of it. Or so Geoff thought.
But a few months later, a group of Bob's friends decided to get together to go see a Padres game as a way to honor Bob. Everybody missed him. He had always been the life of the party, the center of a constellation of friends, like a great big shining sun who held everyone in his orbit.
So Geoff went, and who should be there but Erika. She was single now – Bob had been right about that relationship. She has beautiful eyes; Geoff couldn't forget those. And then they started talking. And talking some more. Who won the game? Who knows?
For her part, Erika – who by the way had absolutely no idea Bob had talked about her to Geoff – thought Geoff was a nice guy. Cute, even. But boyfriend material? He was divorced, he had a son, he was nine years older, he lived 45 minutes away. Plus, he was Jewish and she was Christian. "I was like, this would never work," says Erika, 30. "Even though we hit it off, I said we were just going to be good friends."
He was indeed a man with baggage. A whole Samsonite collection's worth. "He told me he had to leave because it was his turn to pick up the dogs from his ex-wife. Split custody of the dogs? How much more can a girl take?"
She was sure each hurdle would be insurmountable, but somehow it never was. His son loved her, his family loved her, she and Geoff's ex-wife got along great – heck, even Geoff's ex-in-laws liked her.
It was almost like Bob was there, making it all work – in fact, Erika and Geoff thought, maybe he was. Bob had always joked that the number 808 was "Bob time," because the numerals sort of resembled his name. Sure enough, when they were together – which was practically all the time – the number 808 showed up everywhere, randomly. On addresses, license plates, price tags – everywhere. Erika was beginning to think she'd be that old before Geoff got around to asking her to marry him.
Years went by. Three, in fact. One Thursday Geoff and Erika took Bob's mom, Manigeh Haeri, out for dinner to celebrate Bob's birthday.
"It was just a normal day, a random day of the week," remembers Erika. They picked Dylan up from football, Geoff wanted to get frozen yogurt, the usual. "We were walking back to the car, and Geoff opens up the trunk. He has a little box wrapped all silly in Christmas paper. Dylan said 'Thanks for volunteering on my football team' – and it looked like Dylan had wrapped it. So I open it, and inside was a box for a clock, and the clock said 808."
But when she opened it, there was no actual clock, only a manila envelop with a ring in it. And then Geoff was down on one knee in the parking lot, asking her to be his bride and Dylan's stepmommy. Bob's mom was crying, and Erika realized then that Geoff had been stalling all day to arrive at this perfect time, 8:08 in the evening, on Bob's birthday.
Inside, her ring was engraved "808, BFF." Geoff turned to Bob's mom and told her, "If it wasn't for your son, we would have never met."
And when they married this past Feb. 22 at Casino San Clemente, says Erika, "We had Bob's mother and father with us, to see what their son had done from heaven."

Antique Lamps have become very collectible over the past few years. Certain styles such as Art Deco and Victoriana have assisted this popularity along with certain makers such as Tiffany that will never go out of fashion.
Some of the most collectible lamps are oil and kerosene lamps. They can still look as beautiful and stylish today as they did 100 years ago when they were first manufactured. There is something romantic about these lamps when they are lit and show off their glow to perfection in even the most uninspiring rooms.
Be very careful when purchasing lamps with glass shades. This is the place where most of the damage is done. Slight burn marks are normal and should be accepted with any lamp with an age. Run your fingers around the rim of the shade very carefully and check for hairline cracks.
Be also very careful when purchasing supposed Antique Lamps due to the number of reproductions on the market. Where a certain area is very popular as it is with Antique Lamps then it is just a matter of time before the market is flooded with reproduction pieces.
This does not mean that reproduction antique lamps are a bad thing. If you do have an original piece which has a slightly damaged shade it would be easy to replace this with a reproduction if it was for your own use and not for resale.
The only problems come when the reproduction lamps are passed on as originals either by unsuspecting sellers or by unscrupulous dealers. Check the lamps like you would any other antique. Look for normal wear and tear on the shade. Brass fittings would be worn away due to frequent use along with the base. Owners would often polish the lamps so this would also show on a genuine antique oil lamp. If you suspect anything regarding the lamps true age then don't buy it.

Scouting The Bobcats
Playing it Safe
The Bobcats commit the fewest turnovers in the league, averaging just 12.1 per game (tied with the New York Knicks). Conversely, the Sixers force the fourth-most turnovers (16.1 per game), scoring an average of 18.3 points per game off those extra scoring opportunities. When Philadelphia and Charlotte met on December 6, the Bobcats committed nine turnovers, limiting the Sixers to just six points off of those opportunities.
Big Al Plays a Big Role
Signed by the Bobcats in the offseason, center Al Jefferson has been the deciding factor offensively in a number of Charlotte wins this year. In the 11 Bobcats victories in which he has appeared, Jefferson has averaged 21.4 points (48.5 FG%) and 4.6 free-throw attempts per game. In 19 losses, he's averaged 15.1 points (44.5 FG%) and has gone to the line an average of just 2.6 times. In a 108-98 home win over New York on Tuesday, Jefferson had his best offensive performance as a Bobcat, scoring 35 points on 14-of-20 shooting.
Quick Turnaround
After facing the Knicks at home Tuesday night, the Bobcats hopped on a flight to Philadelphia, arriving early Wednesday morning. Charlotte is 3-7 in games that come on the tail end of back to backs and 1-4 in road games that close out a back to back.
Trending Topics
Moultrie and Allen Out; Dedmon In
Following shoot-around Wednesday morning, Sixers head coach Brett Brown provided an update on the status of injured big men Arnett Moultrie (ankle) and Lavoy Allen (calf), ruling both out for Wednesday's game against Charlotte. Brown noted that center Dewayne Dedmon, who was signed to a 10-day contract on Tuesday, will dress and be available if needed.
Thad's Continued Hot Streak
Over his last 10 games, forward Thaddeus Young has totaled 20 points or more seven times, reaching 30 points three times. Over the stretch, he's averaged 21.7 points (50.9 FG%, 39.5 3P%, 80.0 FT%), 6.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 2.8 steals per game.

Most doctors and other clinicians caring for people with peanut allergies and tree nut allergies don't have any formal training in managing these types of allergies, and so the care they provide can be inconsistent: You may get different advice depending on which doctor you ask, and the advice provided may not be based on the latest medical research.

Fortunately, nut allergy guidelines published by the British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology seek to bring guidance to the health care professionals providing hands-on care to people who are allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. The guidelines, developed by an expert panel and published in the medical journal Clinical & Experimental Allergy, also provide plenty of self-care tips for people living with these allergies.

Peanut and tree nut allergies require "skilled management and advice," says Dr. Shuaib Nasser, president of the medical society that developed the guidelines. "The guidance has been written by experienced allergy experts and should provide a valuable resource for all those managing people with nut allergy, both in the U.K. and worldwide."

Although the nut allergy guidelines are written for doctors, anyone can read them and use them to improve their own management of severe nut and peanut allergies.

Nut Allergy and Peanut Allergy Often Lifelong Problem

Tree nut allergy and peanut allergy are common in the U.S. and worldwide: Researchers estimate that somewhere between 0.6 percent and 1.3 percent of people in the U.S. are allergic to peanuts and around 0.4 percent to 0.6 percent of people in the U.S. are allergic to tree nuts (which include walnuts, almonds, pistachios, and pecans). These types of allergies also have been on the rise since the early 1990s.

While some people do outgrow their allergies, most people who develop a nut or peanut allergy in childhood bring it with them into adulthood. That means the number of people affected by this condition will continue to rise.

Even though it's very rare to die from an allergy, it does happen, and nut and peanut allergies are the most common cause of severe and fatal allergic reactions. Around 165 people died from food allergies in the U.S. between 1999 and 2010. In addition, anaphylactic reactions to peanuts and tree nuts are responsible for thousands of visits to the emergency room every year.

In addition, the near-constant fear of having a bad reaction also causes significant stress for people with nut allergies and their families. That's why having the most up-to-date guidance on how to manage your allergy is so important.

Nut Allergy Guidelines Lead Through Diagnosis, Treatment

The guidelines, which were created by a panel of British physicians but apply to people worldwide, note that nut allergies most often appear in young children—before the child's fifth birthday—and usually occur the very first time a child eats nuts.

Babies have a higher risk of developing peanut allergy when they also have severe cases of eczema, an itchy skin condition that can be associated with food allergies, or when they are allergic to eggs. It's not clear which children may be at higher risk for developing tree nut allergy—the studies haven't been done to show who's at risk—but many people who are allergic to peanuts also are allergic to tree nuts, according to the guidelines.

The best way for doctors to diagnose peanut and tree nut allergies, the guidelines say, is by talking to the patient (and the patient's family, in the case of a child) about reactions to foods, and by using specific medical tests for allergies, the expert guidelines state.

These medical tests can involve skin pricks—your doctor will prick your skin with a tiny amount of the nut or peanut protein thought to cause your allergy—and look for a reaction. The tests also can involve blood tests that look for your immune system's reaction to nuts or peanuts.

As part of your diagnosis, your doctor also may want to perform what's called a food challenge to gauge your reaction to nuts or peanuts. The guidelines say food challenges usually aren't necessary, but may shed more light on the situation if the blood or skin prick test results are inconclusive or conflict with your history of reactions to nuts or peanuts. If your doctor does want to you to undergo a food challenge, the guidelines say you should make sure it's conducted in the presence of medical professionals who will know how to handle severe allergic reactions.

How to Best Manage Nut and Peanut Allergies

First and foremost, the nut allergy guidelines say people with tree nut and peanut allergies need clear guidance from their doctors on how to avoid nuts and on what they should do if they are exposed to them accidentally.

You need to know how to recognize specific nuts, both in and out of the shell, and learn which types of foods commonly contain nuts or are at risk for cross-contamination from nuts that are processed on the same equipment or in the same facility.

For example, you might be surprised to learn that nuts such as almonds and hazelnuts can be used to thicken soups and sauces, and Thai food commonly contains peanuts and peanut sauce. Dining out can be particularly problematic if you're at risk for a severe allergic reaction, while certain snack foods, such as candy bars, and cereals, such as granola, are at higher risk for nut cross-contamination even if they don't contain nuts.

One way the guidelines recommend to learn about where peanuts and tree nuts can hide is to talk to a skilled dietitian—consider asking your doctor for a referral. A dietitian who specializes in food allergies can teach you how to read food labels and coach you on how to order in restaurants.

In addition, you should understand how to use emergency medications such as adrenaline self-injectors like Epi-Pen and Auvi-Q if you are exposed to tree nuts or peanuts, the guidelines state.

The nut allergy guidelines also stress keeping your asthma under control, since poorly controlled asthma is associated with severe allergic reactions. If you do have asthma, talk with your doctor about controlling it, and make sure to take any prescribed medications regularly.

Nut Allergies Involve the Whole Family

For children who are allergic to tree nuts or peanuts, the whole family needs to be involved in keeping the allergic child safe, the nut allergy guidelines say. This means everyone in the family—including grandparents and any other relatives who spend time with the child—needs to know what foods the child can't have, plus how to handle a reaction.

You'll need to make sure your child's preschool or school understands the allergy, as well. Many schools are well-versed in handling potentially severe allergies like peanut and nut allergies—many ban nuts altogether, in fact—but you can't count on that happening, so always double-check on your own school's policy. The guidelines recommend establishing links with your school's nurse and other health professionals.

Anyone who fixes food for a child who's allergic to peanuts or tree nuts should know how to read food labels and to avoid those foods with a high risk of nut cross-contamination, the nut allergy guidelines say.

A Word From Verywell

The guidelines from the British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology are the first to spell out the best ways to diagnose and manage peanut and nut allergies. They apply to care in the U.S. as well as in the U.K.

Although the document is written for physicians, it can help both doctors and patients who have been confused about how to handle these potentially severe allergies. In fact, if you're allergic to tree nuts or peanuts, you should consider reading the guidelines thoroughly and using them to improve your own self-management of your condition.

You also should double-check the guidelines to make sure your doctor is following the most up-to-date treatment recommendations, since the panel that wrote the document reports that many physicians are not up-to-date on severe allergy diagnosis and treatment. And if it's your child who has the allergy, you can use the guidelines to help keep her safe.

Fleas can cause serious problems to your dog. They can be very dangerous as they can cause allergies and infections. Furthermore, they won't mind biting you as well. Fleas are very persistent; once you find one, prepare to find hundreds more.
First, take care of your dog's health and hygiene, as it will keep the fleas away. Just like you, your dog needs healthy food to be able to fight potential infections. Also, give him a bath at least once a week with warm soapy water and a flea shampoo. Start at the base of the tale and end at the base of the scull.
You will know your dog has fleas if he starts scratching and biting himself. Also, check if your dog has any flea dirt on his body, and wash him immediately. You will recognize it as brownish spots, or reddish when wet.
To get rid of fleas on your dog, brush and comb your dog every day using a special flea comb. It's helpful in getting rid of the fleas as it has very tight teeth which trap the fleas. Wash it after combing, and do it again and again until the comb stays clean, without any fleas after you go through the dog's hair.
Next, make sure you clean your house. Use a vacuum cleaner and soapy water for your carpets, rugs, floor, and every hidden corner of your home, as fleas may be hiding there. Pay special attention to the place where your dog spends most of his time. You can use anti-insect shampoo. Don't forget to clean your garden, as well, since that's where the fleas usually come from. Cut the grass, remove the fallen leaves, and spray it with an environmentally friendly product.
Consider buying chemicals or make your own. Use a flea insecticide that you can apply on your dog's body.
It's best if you take your dog to the vet and get some professional advice on which product to use, for he will know what is safe for you and the environment. Otherwise, you might end up poisoning you and your family, or destroying the furniture and carpets in your house.
Here is an interesting flea spray recipe that you can make yourself. Mix citrus peels and some water in the blender, add rosemary and a few garlic cloves, boil for about 15 minutes and strain. Fill a spray bottle with it when it cools, and you can use it in the house, outside and even on your dog.
Olive oil is good for getting rid of fleas without harming your dog. The only unpleasant thing about olive oil is the fact that it's difficult to wash off, so you will have to bathe your dog several times before it is completely removed.
House salt is also helpful, since fleas don't like it at all. Just spread some on your dog's fur and on the area where he spends most of his time, and the fleas will run away. They also don't like vinegar and garlic, so try to add small amounts into your dog's food, and the fleas will surely look for another dog.
Believe it or not, dish liquid also kills fleas, so use it to wash your dog in it, and remember to soak it for several minutes. Just rinse it well after you finish. You can also use it for cleaning your house.
And finally, a flea collar for your dog might be a good idea in the flea season.
Whatever you do, don't wait for them to go away by themselves, because fleas are stubborn little beings and it will get harder to get rid of them as the time passes.

Mayor announces changes to SPD recruitment policy
SEATTLE - Mayor Mike McGinn today announced that as part of SPD 20/20: A Vision for the Future, new recruitment policies and outreach strategies have been adopted to encourage more diversity among Seattle Police Department officers.
"When we announced SPD 20/20, we promised to do everything possible to make sure we're recruiting new officers for our police force who reflect the diversity and values of the community they serve" said Mayor McGinn. "We project that in the next 5 years we will hire more than 300 police officers to replace officers who will be completing their careers. We are determined to make the most of this opportunity to shape the police department of the future."
"SPD is in a period of transition. It is essential that as we move forward with implementing the Settlement Agreement and charting a new path for SPD's future, we recruit candidates who are ready and willing to make that transition with us" said Deputy Chief Dick Reed. "We're looking for men and women who are committed to serving their community, and we'll do everything we can to support their success in the application process."
Policy changes and initiatives affecting recruitment include:
"I'm proud to have been a part of this effort" said community leader Kip Tokuda. "SPD needs diverse perspectives to be able to police effectively and build bridges with the community. These changes will bring more diversity and connection with the communities they serve to the SPD."

A Possible Life
A Novel in Five Love Stories
Sebastian Faulks
Henry Holt and Co.
Henry Holt and Co.
Henry Holt and Co.
ISBN: 9780805097313304 Pages
Google Play
From the critically acclaimed, bestselling author of Birdsong, new fiction about love and war—five transporting stories and five unforgettable lives, linked across centuries.
In Second World War Poland, a young prisoner closes his eyes and pictures going to bat on a sunlit English cricket ground.
Across the yard of a Victorian poorhouse, a man is too ashamed to acknowledge the son he gave away.
In a 19th-century French village, an old servant understands—suddenly and with awe—the meaning of the Bible story her master is reading to her.
On a summer evening in the Catskills in 1971, a skinny girl steps out of a Chevy with a guitar and with a song that will send shivers through her listeners' skulls.
A few years from now, in Italy, a gifted scientist discovers links between time and the human brain and between her lover's novel and his life.
Throughout the five masterpieces of fiction that make up A Possible Life, exquisitely drawn and unforgettable characters risk their bodies, hearts and minds in pursuit of the manna of human connection. Between soldier and lover, parent and child, servant and master, and artist and muse, important pleasures and pains are born of love, separations and missed opportunities. These interactions—whether successful or not—also affect the long trajectories of characters' lives.
Provocative and profound, Sebastian Faulks's dazzling new novel journeys across continents and centuries not only to entertain with superb old-fashioned storytelling but to show that occasions of understanding between humans are the one thing that defines us—and that those moments, however fluid, are the one thing that endures.

Sebastian Faulks Introduces A Possible LifeShare This
Praise for A Possible Life
"A rueful, pleasurable work, extremely sharp, with true insights into aging and loss. . . Faulks's writing is often both beautiful and perceptive." —USAToday.com
"Read this brilliant, deeply affecting book and enjoy a master storyteller at work... Faulks works a kind of magic on the page... A Possible Life is filled with such bittersweet wisdom as Faulks' men and women confront the mysteries of self and others. If these unforgettable characters are in fact connected, it is only in the way we are all connected, forced by time and chance to suffer and change, bound by the heart's baffling needs." —Dallas Morning News
"Faulks goes further by presenting stand-alone biographies of five characters from different walks of life -- even different eras -- and only tenuously connecting them. It is a gamble, but one he pulls off superbly....As with the best of Faulks' fiction, "A Possible Life" blends profound ideas with compelling prose, and however we choose to categorize it, the result is far more than the sum of its parts." —Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"The five tales are nothing short of mesmerizing. A Possible Life is both subtle and profound." —Metro Pulse
"Distinctively moving. . . These stories sneak up on you, gently ingratiate themselves, get you settled in comfortably and then batter your heart. . . It's startling and strange, the sort of unsettling insight one gets from the finest of Flannery O'Connor's work....its final pages offer a profound reflection on the mysterious parts we play in one another's lives." —The Washington Post
"The chief pleasure in reading 'A Possible Life' comes from feeling you can wander off with any of its characters and find a story every bit as real and compelling as what's on the page." —Los Angeles Times
"A Possible Life is an examination of human souls and the impact the decisions we make have on our lives and futures. Had any of these characters chosen a different road, the outcome of their lives may have been forever altered. Faulks' novel --- or collection of novellas ---- succeeds because it does not overtly go out of its way to tie the five tales together." —Bookreporter.com
"Each of the stories could stand on its own, and together, they show off Faulks' versatility. Each of his characters has his or her own way of experiencing the world, and Faulks makes those different worlds realistically detailed and believable." —Columbus Dispatch
"A Possible Life is a rueful, pleasurable work, extremely sharp, with true insights into aging and loss." —USA Today
"Beautifully written. . . . One could quibble over whether this is really a novel or a collection of stories, but that may be missing the point. For those of us who remember listening to music on albums, A Possible Life is most reminiscent of an LP - a gathering of distinct expressions that together make up a satisfying whole." —BookPage
"These five stories are provocative meditations on love, loss, evil and what it means to be human, beautifully rendered by a prose master." —Shelf Awareness Pro
"In this masterful book, Faulks links the stories of five disparate lives into a long meditation on the intersection of fate and free will. Five discrete novellas range from 1800s France to Italy in 2029, examining how choices, impulses, and luck (both good and bad) shape lives. . . . What Faulks (Birdsong) risks sound twee and clever, and not unlike what David Mitchell did in Cloud Atlas, but this book transcends pat tropes through the beauty and clarity of Faulks's prose. Each world is drawn with precision, creating widely varied stories that are intensely absorbing . . .a contemplation of human existence on the individual level. Highly recommended." —Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
"Delicately crafted." —Kirkus
"A tightly written, moving and exciting work of fiction that should thrill established readers as well as win new fans. If you think you know Faulks – or even (and especially) if you haven't enjoyed his previous novels – it's time to look again." —Anthony Cummins, The Telegraph, UK
"Sebastian Faulks's fine new novel does not, at first glance, look like a novel at all - more like a gathering of stories, each one yielding a new character. Only gradually do we realize how these many voices, so far apart in time and place, fuse together and overlap, like songs on an album, to form a stirring and delicate whole. One of them speaks of merging 'the flame and the facts', our ardent yearnings with the hard detail of ordinary life. In Faulks's masterful hands, fact and flame become one." —Anthony Lane, author of Nobody's Perfect: Writings from The New Yorker
"This magnificent, complex, fine-grained book of stories is about love and loss in all its colors, in all its eras. I am best qualified to judge the final story Anya, which is one of the most authentic portrayals of a time and place -- the early '70s in the folk-rock milieu, from a rural upstate New York, to Greenwich Village, to L.A. -- I have ever read.
We all have magical people in our pasts -- glittery, fleeting, transformative: embarrassed secrets because our thrall to them was never quite reciprocated. This book liberates us from that embarrassment and reminds us that unrequited large-R-romance is a lot of what makes life worth living, and that such elegiac, flickering interludes can often be as emotionally permanent as those with the more steadfast people in our lives." —Sheila Weller, author of New York Times bestseller Girls Like Us
"Bravura prose. . . . Critics often underestimate Faulks's versatility: his protean restlessness, half-disguised by mainstream bestsellerdom." —Boyd Tonkin, The Independent (UK)
"So there's quite a thesis here, quite a mystical proposition. . . . [These stories] are united by all asking 'whether individuals are ever really satisfactorily distinguished from one another or whether in fact we are all taking part in the same cosmic story, the same joined-up life.' . . . [They are] delicate, persuasive expressions." —David Sexton, The London Evening Standard (UK)
"Each world feels complete, vivid and convincing. . . . In the end it does what any good novel should--it unsettles, it moves, and it forces us to question who we are." —Lucy Atkins, The Sunday Times (UK)
