I first had contact with FJC two years ago after moving here from Ohio to escape an abusive relationship. They showed me not just how to survive but to thrive. The connected me with resources to continue my education , enhance my job search skills, and counseling services. Since the beginning I have joined Voices Advocacy through FJC and am now helping in the battle against Domestic Violence.
This organization came into my life by recommendation of Hillsborough Kids Incorporated and it was the best thing they could have referred me and my oldest son to. The life changing experience came through them connecting to a counselor for myself and my son who had suffered severe trauma. It healed the both of us in a way that inspired me to help others achieve as well. I have recently joined the Voices committee to work closer with them and it is rewarding to see the difference that one group can make as well as the amazing difference that the Family Justice Center continues to make in his community and is committed to making. I am eternally greatful.

With the help of a friend, I was very lucky to have found a beautiful, very old school, wooden elevator which of course I just had to feature in a fashion shoot. The pressure was on because access to this gorgeous machinery from the past was going to be limited. When I first laid eyes on her, I decided that the elevator itself deserved to be showcased. The gears, the gate and the rope were all just oozing with character. How do I light it in an interesting way
Steven and I spent over 2 hours lighting. I did have a bit of a plan but executing it was more time consuming that coming up with the idea in the first place. We went for the low hanging fruit first. I knew that I wanted light streaming in from the slats in the wood on the left so we positioned a mono head with a 40 grid to prevent light from spraying all over the place. We experimented with the height a little but decided on something just above head height so that the light coming into the elevator would be coming from above instead of below.
Next was the fun part. How do we light up those gears? I decided to back light them and am quite pleased with the affect. The happy accident which I didn't really see until I got the images up onto the machine was that there are some cob webs in the smaller gear that lit up beautifully. The back lighting also accentuated the teeth on the smaller gear. There are two speed lights very skillfully mounted by Steven. We had to manage light spill so we gridded and snooted both speed lights until we got what we wanted.
We set the main light up last. This was relatively easy after what we had already gone though. Ok, it was actually Steven who worked harder for those lights than I did. He went beyond the call of duty and climbed up and down the elevator 4 or 5 times just to get those gears lit up perfectly. I am happy to say that I set the main light up all by myself! Of course Steven helped me here too. As you can see, he was my stand in model.
My only concern was to contain the light from the main light. I didn't want light spilling all over the set and especially the back wall. We got what we wanted by placing our model far enough away from the back wall and by having the main light as close to her as we possibly could.
While Steven and I were setting up lights, our hair and make up team were wondering why I wasn't my usual self politely and sometimes not so politely hurrying them along so we could shoot. In the end it all worked out. Hair and make up had lots of time to make our model look just right and Steven and I got to play around for a couple of hours with lights!
Here's a picture of Steven when I told him we were done with our lighting and we were ready to shoot….

XSEM: Demonstration
Implementing XSEM Today
Having a text model is not enough. There need to be practical ways to implement it. This demonstration will show you how XSEM can be implemented using existing technologies.
Eric Albright has developed several stylesheets that render XSEM marked up text into several different output formats. One exciting aspect of this is that there is only one source text. This is the great advantage to using a markup standard such as XML. We hope this page helps the readers get familiar as to how this can be done.
There are several different demonstrations included in this package that will show the versatility of XSEM. This page will show the results of several transformations done on a specially prepared source text. For the complete demonstration package you can download it from the resource page.
HTML Format
One of the great advantages of using an XML based markup standard is that you can use XSLT (XML Stylesheet Language Transformations) to convert it to another form. XSL parsers are readily available but to implement them users need a knowledge of XML and XSL which is becoming more and more common. Please note that these demonstrations were developed in the Microsoft Windows environment. Though not intentional, there may be parts of this demonstration that view better in Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5. Please bear that in mind.
To start, we will transform the XML source text with the XSL file we have developed into this HTML text. To do this transformation we used Microsoft's XSL Parser package. The parser was invoked with a command line in MS-DOS like this:
Next, we will extract a simple portion of the book of Mark with the
same stylesheet. By adding
Sometimes verses can cross structural boundaries like sections or paragraphs. In this example we have extracted Mark 6:6 which crosses a section boundary. With XSL we can control the range according to the context it is found in. Another example would be a quote that spans verses. In this case, Mark 4:30, the quote spans three verses so the stylesheet pulls out all three verses to preserve the context.
All the above examples were produced using the same stylesheet. This shows the versatility and power of XSL and also how easy it is to transform Scripture text marked up in XSEM to HTML.
PDF Format
PDF (Portable Document Format) was created by Adobe and has become an industry standard. PDF allows us to capture the content and almost the exact format of a document as it was produced by a given application. Where HTML is concerned with delivering content, PDF is concerned with delivering format. When PDF becomes the output from XML the results can be interesting.
This is a two-step procedure. First the XSEM source, via XSLT, is transformed into an intermediate form called Formatting Objects or FO. Like PDF, FO is concerned with the format of a document. A FO file contains information like page size, margin widths, text direction and other formatting information that would not normally be in a more content intensive environment like HTML.
In the second step we convert the FO file into the final formatted output that is ready for printing or electronic display. In this example we produced a PDF version of our source text. (You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer to view this document.) However a similar process could produce another format like RTF (Rich Text Format) a commonly used format from Microsoft.
EBook Format
Another technology that has emerged in recent years is the EBook format. Companies like Adobe and Microsoft are competing to see who's version of that technology will win the market. For our demonstration we choose Microsoft's technology called Reader.
Like PDF, to convert text marked up in XML, we need to go through a two step process. First we need to create a slightly different version of HTML that is more compliant with what Microsoft's Reader conversion tool is expecting. One of the main differences is that the footnotes that are embedded in the XML source text need to be in a separate file. To do this we make two passes with our stylesheet, once to extract and format the main body of text, and again to create the footnotes file.
After the HTML files have been produced (along with their supporting files) a final conversion can be run which transforms it into a single binary file that is compatible with Microsoft Reader. This file can then be opened in the Reader application and read. For those reading this who may not have Microsoft Reader installed on their computers here is a screen shot of the first page.
WML Format
Another interesting form of output that Eric has included in this demonstration is text transformed into WML. This is an XML markup language that is specially designed around the needs of small display devices like cell phones.
This type of device has a set of requirements that are somewhat unique from those of a web browser. This is mainly because of screen size and the way this kind of technology is used. For example, a cell phone user would not want to read the entire Bible from their cell phone, rather, they would just want to reference a single verse or a range of verses. The stylesheet developed for this application is designed to extract XSEM source text and transform it into WML, another XML markup language.
This section of the demonstration includes several different examples of WML output, this is one of them. WML serves the same function for cell phones as HTML does for the web browser. On a cell phone, the above example would be rendered to look like this.
We hope that the examples contained here will encourage you to try out the demonstration package. You are also encouraged to modify the stylesheets and try different variations. Please share your work with us if you are so inclined to do so.
* Please note that because of copyright protection, we have developed a special XSEM source text for these demonstrations.
* It should also be noted that the particular PDF formater we used is a demonstration version. After page 9 you will note that every other page is blank.
* One would question the usefulness of having the Bible on a cell phone but then some questioned the need for personal computers as well.
* This example was rendered on a cell phone emulation program. Information on how to obtain this program is included in the demonstration package.

Overview of Research
My current research explores the generational transfer of unaccounted-for pasts stemming from Japanese imperialism in China. I inquire what it means for both Chinese and Japanese to come to terms with the Japanese imperialism seventy years after Japan's original violence and injustice in China ended with the Japanese defeat and the disappearance of its empire in 1945, and how the introduction of the market economy in China has created a new dynamic concerning the contested yet under-explored past for both Chinese and Japanese. My first book project takes place within a burgeoning economic sphere in Northeast China, while my second and third projects take place within a transnational legal sphere.
* * *
My book, Inheritance of Loss: China, Japan, and the Political Economy of Redemption After Empire (University of Chicago Press, 2016), explores how the current generation of ordinary Chinese and Japanese, two to three generations removed from the direct experience of Japanese imperialism, encounter each other and experience and navigate colonial inheritances in the urban everyday of Northeast China. Situated at the height of China's socio-economic transformation in the 1990s and 2000s, this ethnography shows how the economic realm has become a key site for the generational transfer of difficult pasts. While the concepts of memory and trauma are often used to show the lasting effects of original violence, I suggest that these concepts may have limited our political imagination about what is at stake for second and third generations in East Asia in coming to terms with the distant, yet still alive, past. This book uses the concept of "colonial inheritance" to make visible contemporary generational responses to the losses incurred through colonial modernity, as set in motion through China's transition to a market-oriented society. My ethnography shows how beneath the rationalized rhetoric of economic prosperity and the pursuit of "modern life" lurks the tenacious question of reckoning with the past through quotidian encounters in the workplace, on the streets, and in residential complexes.
Inheritance of Loss examines sites where long neglected colonial remnants are transformed into newly minted capital through the rhetoric of "inheritance." My ethnography explores this capitalization of colonial inheritance, orchestrated by the municipal governments in Northeast China in their attempts to position their respective cities within the global economy. I examine the face-to-face interactions between Chinese and Japanese set in motion at these sites of inheritance. Through encounters in the realm of tourism and foreign direct investment I identify a new mode of generational transmission that I call the "political economy of redemption." Here, the moral economy of seeking redemption for the unaccounted past is inexorably linked to the formal economy of exports, consumption, and the citywide pursuit of middle class dreams. For both Chinese and Japanese, China's growing economy is channeling contradictory impulses towards erasing, confronting, or capitalizing on the past into new forms of production, consumption, and accumulation, while, at the same time, revealing new forms of anxiety arising from inherited legacies of colonial modernity. Inheritance of Loss demonstrates how the political economy of redemption makes visible the entangled processes of "after empire": the often invisible, displaced, or seemingly separate post-colonial and post-imperial processes that give shape to the afterlife of losses and their redemptions, and the envisioning of present and future in relation to what remains.
* * *
My second project, Accounting for Silence: (For)given Time and the Politics of Redress in China and Japan, is an ethnographic and historical exploration of compensation for Japanese wartime use of Chinese forced labor. Using historical, ethnographic, and legal analyses of archives, survivors' testimonial practices, and the recent lawsuits seeking official apology and compensation, I examine how, in both Japan and China, the dramatic disappearance and reappearance of the survivors, the bodily remains of those who died, and their archival traces show an underlying debt economy––moral and monetary––in postwar Sino-Japanese relations. I elucidate how accounts and accounting address overdue responsibility for postwar generations and, against the background of generational shift and the changing balance of economic power between China and Japan, show how the crux of the issue has shifted from apology to inheritance and accountability. At the center of this inquiry is the role of the victims in the circulation of bodies that drives the economy of compensation. I enquire into the human, legal, and theoretical impact of accounting for silence in pursuit of the politics of redress.
* * *
Since the early 1990s, Chinese and Korean victims of Japanese imperialism in the first half of the twentieth century filed scores of lawsuits against the Japanese government and corporations within Japanese jurisdiction, and more recently within South Korean and Chinese jurisdiction. These lawsuits have become a prime site for belatedly redressing past violence and injustice years after the original violence ended with imperial Japan's defeat in 1945. My third project, Between the Law: The Unmaking of Empire and Law's Imperial Amnesia in East Asia, examines this emergent transnational legal space and explores the role of law in the unmaking of empire. I show how the legal process itself has paradoxically produced a legal lacuna—a new transnational legal space for historical redress, where the plaintiffs are effectively caught between the law. Through historical, legal, and ethnographic analyses of this absence of law within the emergent transnational legal space, I explore a post-imperial legal space, created through the erasure of empire and imperial and colonial subjects in the post-imperial legal framework after the formal disappearance of Japanese empire. Through the optic of "between the law," my book explores the uneven terrain of legal space that embodies temporal and spatial disjuncture, rupture, and asymmetry of after empire, and, in doing so, to capture the role and place of law. I demonstrate how, at the intersection of law and economy, post-imperial reckoning is emerging as a new legal frontier, putting at stake what I call "law's imperial amnesia" within the post-1945 legal framework, which has deferred the unmaking of empire.

- Politics of Memory (ANTHC310.01): Mondays & Thursdays, 9:45am-11:00am
The end of the Cold War unleashed the global phenomenon of "memory work" surrounding collective traumas inflicted by state violence such as wars and genocides to bring out long-silenced voices of victims. Memory work has brought to light past violence that remained hushed up or even more aggressively erased. Memory work has pushed histories to be re-narrated, unsettled an assumed sense of community and the nation, and challenged the political legitimacy of the state. Memory work, which has taken various forms, from literature, graphic novels, and films, to historical museums and memorials, to social movements and more formal institutional arrangements such as Truth and Reconciliation Commissions (TRCs), has wrestled with the question of how to come to terms with complex, divided, and violence-ridden pasts. This upper level undergraduate research seminar explores this politics of memory that takes place in the realm of popular culture and public space. The class asks such questions as: how do you represent difficult and contested pasts? What does it mean to make long-silenced voices to be heard? What are the consequences of re-narrating the past by highlighting past injuries and trauma? Does memory work heal open wounds of a society and a nation? Through examples drawn from the Holocaust, the atomic bombing in Hiroshima, wartime sexual slavery, the Vietnam War, and genocides in Indonesia and Lebanon, to the recently rekindled debates on confederacy statues, slavery, and lynching in the US, this coruse approaches these questions through anthropological exploration of concepts such as memory, trauma, silence, voice, testimony, and victimhood.
- Stories & Silences: Justice and Reconciliation after Imperial Violence (ANTHC351.51): Mondays & Thursdays, 2:45pm-4:00pm
When a war ends, there are often mechanisms such as reparations and war tribunals to account for the losses. What about damages caused by imperialism and colonialism? How do we account for losses incurred through these forms of systematic violence and injustice, and who is responsible for these losses? This undergraduate research seminar explores this question of imperial reckoning by focusing primarily on two forms of imperial violence, one is gennocide in the colonies and the other is forced migration and slavery. Across the world, these forms of imperial violence remain unaccounted for and continue to impact contemporary societies even decades after the formal end of the practice. Only in the past several years has new tide of reconciliation started to take place belatedly, bringing long-silenced victims' voices to the public. This coruse examines how silences of past violence were produced through certain modes of telling stories of the past, how such silences in turn produced new forms of injustice and violence in post-colonial societies, and how, in recent years, the silence is broken and new stories have emerged to challenge this structure of silencing. The course further examines what it means to belatedly reckon with imperial violence, and for whom. Questions we shall examine include: how do we know the past violence when years of silence have erased its traces? What kind of traces, both material and nonmaterial, speak for the perished? What is the role of human remains, one of the most prominent traces of the past violence? Who counts as victims and perpetrators? Who is responsible for what, then and now? The course draws examples primarily from cases that in recent years have attempted to seek redress through legal means: British Atlantic slavery, Japanese forced migration and slavery in East Asia, German genocide in Namibia, and British genocide in Kenya. Through these examples, we shall explore the challenges and opportunities for the present and the future.

So I'm 16 and going to a disco with all my year and there's a guy I really like- which dress is the nicest? I want to look pretty and grown up 😉.
- Dress 1Vote A
- Dress 2Vote B
Most Helpful Guy
I think dress 1 suits you more10|10|0
Most Helpful Girl
OK... So... when you say "disco", I'm thinking about the kind of club I like to go to -- namely, one that's vibrant, teeming with activity, and PACKED. With all sorts of people right up in what would otherwise be yr personal space.
I *like* dress no. 2... but, in THAT kind of club? Just way way WAY too much potential for that skirt to get caught on things, or between people.
I mean...
Let's say you're having an awesome night... Until you brush against a girl wearing a spiked or studded handbag.
... Or, worse, a dress full of sequins... Sequins could TOTALLY grab ahold of that kind of chiffon fabric, and -- if it's not a particularly well-made dress -- might even cause the absolutely worst kind of wardrobe malfunction. Not good.
I mean, if the club is more chill, or less crowded, then, sure, maybe dress no. 2. That one SEEMS to hang on you better... although tbh I can't really tell.
Can you possibly update the question with a better pic of dress no. 1?
I have a sneaking suspicion that you actually took the picture of dress no. 1 with one of these:
😂😂😂😂 💋
Also -- on top of the abysmal resolution of the picture -- yr arm is in front of the bodice, so it's impossible to tell what the top half of dress no. 1 even looks like.00|00|0

Tottenham Hotspur drew 1-1 away at Everton this afternoon - here are five things we learned from the game.
Selling Aaron Lennon remains the right decision
Spurs let winger Lennon join Everton on loan almost a year ago, before completing a permanent switch over the summer. Today, the 28-year-old scored an outstanding goal against his former club, prompting some to ask whether it was the right decision to let him leave. Well; yes it was. Lennon wasn't playing how Mauricio Pochettino wanted him to, whereas players like Son Heung-min and Erik Lamela do. Those two players also have time on their side, so despite Lennon's goal, it was certainly the right decision to let him leave permanently.
Tottenham missed Mousa Dembele
The last time Belgian midfielder Dembele missed a game was at home to Newcastle in December - a game which Tottenham lost 2-1. After starting in Tottenham's two wins over Christmas, Dembele was out of this game through injury, and his absence was felt once again. Tottenham often lacked the power and drive that Dembele provides in midfield, and whilst Tom Carroll was neat and tidy, there are few players that can match what Dembele brings to the Spurs side, and Pochettino will want him back as quickly as possible.
There are few Premier League centre backs better than Toby Alderweireld
Alderweireld was impressive on loan at Southampton last season, but he seems to have improved even more this term. The Belgian was committed at the back and showed off his technical ability with an outstanding loan pass to set up Dele Alli's equaliser. The 26-year-old has been one of the signings of the season so far, and it's becoming more and more apparent with each passing game that there are very, very few Premier League centre backs on Alderweireld's level.
Still too many draws, though this was an unlucky one
Tottenham's 1-1 draw at Everton now means that they have drawn nine games in the Premier League this season, the most of any team in the top half of the table. Many have accused Tottenham of lacking the firepower to go and win this type of game, but Pochettino's men were desperately unlucky. Harry Kane and Ben Davies both rattled the woodwork with outstanding long range strikes, and on another day, both of those nestle in the net. In a frenetic game, Spurs arguably deserved more than one point.
Spurs are still in the title picture
The point means that Tottenham sit six points off league leaders Arsenal, and some are already ruling them out of the title race. Given the unpredictable nature of the Premier League this season, Spurs are certainly still in the mix for the title, even if they are labelled as the dark horses. Arsenal still have to visit White Hart Lane this season in a game that Tottenham will be looking to win, and with just two defeats so far, Pochettino has his side difficult to beat, whereas Arsenal and Manchester City have been prone to some bizarre defeats. Spurs are still a candidate for the title, and you should write them off at your peril.

It was an interesting concept-three singer/songwriters-not playing on a bill in some kind of descending order, but playing together. Wasn't totally what I was expecting, but Bleu, Tracy Bonham and Jim Boggia certainly pulled off the round-robin concept when I went to see them at Brighton Music Hall this past weekend.
The three troubadours put together a pretty interesting show. They played the majority of the show as a trio (alternating "featured" performances), although each artist also performed a short solo set. Despite joking about their lack of rehearsal time, Bleu, Bonham and Boggia meshed very well together, and one would never have thought that these performance weren't meticulously planned out. OK, I lied about that last part. There was definitely a "pickup game" feel to the proceedings, but that actually added to the appeal-made it more like a group of artists playing because they want to play together as opposed to something more obviously polished.
I must admit-the draw for me was Bleu. Having purchased his debut, Redhead, many moons ago, I'd developed a newfound appreciation for him following last year's Four album. He didn't disappoint live. The impressively mutton-chopped (seriously, dude, how do you grow those?) artist played guitar and bass, triggered the drum machine (although there was a live drummer for several tracks whose name I don't remember…bad reviewer!), unleashed a series of cool vocal effects, and basically sang and played his ass off. I guess I'd taken for granted how good a vocalist he is, but hearing Bleu live really reinforced what a talent he is, blessed with a shiver-worthy falsetto and a couple of long-note holding moments that would've put both Celine Dion and the guy from Sheriff to shame.
Bonham offered a quirkier take on her songs, and put to rest any preconceived notions anyone in the audience may have had of her as the "Mother Mother" chick (she's got a much bigger cross to bear than the other two artists, seeing as she might be the only one who's had a hit single recognizable to the average Top 40 listener). However, the surprise of the show for me was Jim Boggia. I came into the show knowing very little about the Philly-reared artist and left the show with two of his CDs in my hand. Despite admitting to being a little bushed from the trip to Boston, Boggia was the consummate showman, cracking jokes, offering an interesting mix of originals and covers ("Thunder Road"), and above all…the man played it on a ukulele…and added a bit of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" to the proceedings. Folks, you can not beat that with a bat.
My favorite moment of the show came when Boggia performed "That's Not Why I Hate New York". After introducing the song with a monologue expressing his admiration for Boggia as a songwriter, Bleu (and the aforementioned drummer who I apologize profusely to for not taking notes and remembering his name) sat on the stage Indian style, shoulder-to-shoulder, and sang every word of the song. They looked like two kids who'd just gotten the chance to sit for a private concert with their favorite singer. It was a testament to the power music has over people-no lights, no special effects, just a man and his guitar. Of course, the Boston-based crowd had a particular appreciation for the song simply based on the title. As a New Yorker who now makes his home in Boston, I just tried hard to not bring any attention to myself.
Interesting concept-fantastic musicians. There are a lot worse ways to spend a Friday night. This marked the end of Bonham/Boggia/Bleu's mini-tour (which only hit four cities), but if we're lucky, we'll see them on stage together again soon.
(this clip isn't from the show I saw, but…close enough. Enjoy!)

Have just insured with ehic plus. It is an extension of the ehic card and is only for europe and you have to go to a state hospital if you need treatment. It cost £65 for both of us and we are over 70 and both have health problems. My husband has just finished treatment for prostate cancer. Haven't used them before but all the other insurrance firms were quoting 0ver £180.
Saga should be fine,they are a well known provider. it really pays to shop around though especially if there are pre existing medical conditions to cover or aged over 65. we have just got a very good deal with staysure, they have covered conditions that other companies would not quote for and got joint annual policy for about 120pounds. i didn,t try saga but age concern was very expensive for same provision which may be a guide.

State pays €120,000 a week to subsidise road toll operators
THE State is paying out more than €120,000 a week to subsidise the toll operators of two of the country's motorways.
Some €6.31m was paid last year to companies which built the N18 Limerick Tunnel and the M3 motorway in Co Meath because motorists are not using the roads.
The money was paid because the National Roads Authority (NRA) guaranteed a certain number of vehicles would use each privately-funded route when opened, but the the numbers have not been reached.
Just 22,250 vehicles a day use the M3, when 26,250 were expected -- a shortfall of 4,000 a day. The NRA paid €1.86m in compensation to operators Eurolink Motorway Operation Ltd, made up of Spanish company Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte SA, and SIAC Construction Ltd.
Traffic volumes on the Limerick Tunnel are even lower.
Just 14,400 a day are using it, when 19,400 were expected.
The 5,000-a-day shortfall resulted in the NRA paying operators Direct Route (Limerick) Ltd, which includes one of the State's biggest building contractors, Sisk, and AIB, a total of €4.45m in 2011.
The total payments amount to €6.31m, but the payments are far in excess of the €5.8m the NRA expected to have to fork out.
A spokesman said the payments were agreed to get better value when the schemes were being built.
"Unfortunately due to the economic circumstances, traffic levels are below expectations and as a result payments are being made," he said.
"This is a common contractual arrangement for public private partnerships (PPPs) to create a competitive environment during the bidding phase of the work, offering greater value, along with operational and maintenance costs being covered by the private operator.
"This payment is not for profit. It is to help meet their debt repayments."
He added that the NRA received €2.2m from toll operators of other roads because traffic volumes were ahead of projections. When the number of vehicles using the Limerick Tunnel and M3 hit targets, the payments would cease.
Traffic risk was a critical issue for the companies when they submitted bids to build the roads.
Documents from the Department of Transport show that the guarantees were introduced to address the "worst case banking scenario of what if no cars drive on the road".
The M3 cost almost €1bn, with tolls ranging from 70c for a motorbike, €1.40 for a car and €3.40 for a HGV.
The Limerick Tunnel cost €600m and opened to traffic in July last year. Tolls range from €1 for a motorbike, €1.80 for a car and €5.90 for a HGV.
The traffic guarantee was partly put in place because the success of the project depended on Limerick City Council introducing a traffic management scheme which would discourage cars from travelling through the city at peak periods, instead of using the tunnel.
"NRA expects to have to make payments under these schemes in 2012 due to the impact of the downturn and in the Limerick Tunnel case due in part also to the delay in implementing an appropriate traffic management strategy for the city," is states.
But the scheme is not yet in place because Limerick City Council does not have the money to implement it.
A spokesman for the council said the city centre project was about 50pc complete, but the local authority needed to source up to €8m in funding to upgrade and pedestrianise O'Connell Street. The money was not available, he added.

Online Buying: The Growing New Trend
Online stores are a quickly growing format. The need to have a brick and mortar storefront is fast becoming a thing of the past. Traditional stores often carry high overhead costs, limited customer availability or low amounts of foot traffic. If a store does have large amounts of foot traffic, it is often in a prime location. This almost always translates into higher property prices, either in rental costs or in the price of property ownership. An online marketplace or storefront offers nearly unlimited customer traffic, vasts amounts of inventory and, without the need for prime commercial real estate, generally require much less overhead and building costs.
The product or service your online store will offer is a major consideration when creating a web based business. Whether you are a talented seamstress selling top quality clothing or you own a factory that can mass produce parts or products, knowing your customer base is very important to the success of your online store. Web based stores can easily be marketed and advertised to the audience your store bests serves. Web users searching for car parts, for example, would be exposed to advertisements that match the keywords they are using to search with. These advertisements would direct them to parts manufacturers, online parts stores and other keyword relevant companies. If your marketing strategy is implemented properly, these advertisements can point multitudes of customers to your online store. This can create traffic and sales that a traditional storefront would be hard pressed to match. With the opportunity for higher sales and lower operating costs, it is no surprise that so many businesses are moving to web based formats rather than operating traditional stores.
While there are many business owners that are able to configure an online store and market it successfully, these are often obstacles to many entrepreneurs. Without hands-on experience in the computer or internet industry, creating an online store and marketing it to your customers can seem difficult. Luckily, there are services available online that can help you set up everything you need to create a successful online store. Many companies even offer a one-stop-shop for online sales and marketing strategies, such as the services available with the 1ShoppingCart platform found here. Whether you are a seasoned business owner or dream of creating your own company, the availability of inexpensive setup services and nearly unlimited customer traffic makes an online store a great choice for nearly any product or service.

The main character in Rime is a man who is put in an impossible position when the ship he is on appears to come under attack by alien life forms, and he takes action to protect the ship full of humans in cryosleep… with disastrous results. He has to deal with the loss of his love, and everyone on board, while being called to answer for his actions in a most interesting way.
While I enjoyed this short read, I recently read a novel in the Alien universe by Tim Lebbon, and perhaps reading this novella so soon after finishing that spoiled it a bit for me. There were some similar ideas explored in both around how much trust we put in the machines we build, and in the humans we set to take care of us.
I received a review copy from NetGalley.
