I'm honestly boggled by how much I loved this collection of short stories. Clarke put together a really great anthology and I feel edified and thrilled about almost every single one of these. There's a lot of extra-sol colonization stories, each and every one of them very different in tone and complexity, but all of these were pretty awesome.
I was rather surprised and awed by the level of both science and the complexity of the stories. There were also some really fantastic AI stories with one dov I'm honestly boggled by how much I loved this collection of short stories. There were also some really fantastic AI stories with one dovetailing into a robot story with "Today I am Paul" and especially that gem of a story, "Cat Pictures Please".
I've read a few of them from this collection already, but they're still great, like "Folding Beijing". In fact, I think I've just discovered some of my absolute favorite new unknown authors through this book! It's crazy. This is like a NEED for me, now. It's just a matter of taste and subject matter. But there were over thirty great stories here and I think I'm in love.

text: 08 March 2019 Six crucial questions to ask Building a hardware business is often seen as a more difficult route for start-ups than software. Most of the entrepreneurs who approach Mercia, an investment group that looks to identify and then fund and help scale innovative businesses with high growth potential, have conducted basic research into their market and competitors, but have failed to consider six vital questions that make a business plan stronger and more attractive to potential investors. These six questions give entrepreneurs a clearer idea of whether their technology is likely to be adopted and, if so, how long this could take: 1. Does your new device require a change in behaviour? A new technology requiring a customer to change behaviour could delay time-to-market. While change is often good, especially when it leads to efficiencies, there may be resistance within management and on the shop floor for manufacturing-related technology. For example, a start-up with an innovative measurement tool was engaged with a global electronics company which was looking to increase productivity. However, the start-up had not initially considered the level of consultancy and training required to bring any workforce using the tool up to speed. In the start-up's lab, the highly-trained R&D team were able to make the tool work without issue. Conditions on the manufacturing shop floor were very different. The entrepreneurial team hadn't anticipated the challenges arising from the language (Cantonese) and the skill level of operatives within a key target market (China). Operatives were also concerned that the introduction of the tool would ultimately lead to reductions in the workforce, and so some were hesitant to adopt it. To resolve this, the start-up business needed to factor in more time to address the concerns and convince all stakeholders of the device's benefits.2. Will your hardware innovation require a systemic change?New technology often needs to be integrated into larger existing systems. We frequently review business plans centred on devices which would enhance the efficiency of diesel engines, motors and even wind turbines. These devices often require some modifications to the installed equipment, which in turn leads to concerns around warranties and aftercare. The economic benefits from the innovation are often not enough to overcome the potential increase in liability.When this is the case, the team needs to rework its business plan, factoring in additional costs and time for integrating the device into existing equipment and getting buy-in from the manufacturers. 3.How long will it take to bring a product to market in your target sector?Every hardware industry has a design cycle which can vary widely in length. Start-up founders need to account for this in their business plans. For example, the design cycle for the aerospace industry is measured in decades, whereas the consumer electronics sector releases new devices in just months. Some design cycles are surprisingly long. For consumer home appliances it is around four years.Entrepreneurs need to show that they are aware of these timescales and recognise that little can be done to change them. For industries with protracted design cycles, we recommend structuring agreements with potential customers which will generate cash before volume sales begin. These can take the form of development agreements or funded testing. All industries are looking for new technologies, but be prepared for a long qualification process as your customers buy samples and test multiple times. 4. Do you know the different risk appetites for all gatekeepers in the buying process?You will need to understand the risk appetite of various gatekeepers you may face. For instance, quality control teams tend to be conservative and take low levels of risk, while design teams are more open to innovation and new ideas. We recommend that you map out the various gatekeepers within your customers' organisations. Be particularly mindful of procurement teams within larger customer organisations, which may attempt to hold your company to terms which are unsuitable or overly burdensome for small businesses. Early buy-in from senior management within the prospective client can help to circumvent any unrealistic or tough procurement requirements. 5. Is the evaluation kit buyer the target purchaser?Multinational companies may purchase evaluation kits early on – generating genuine excitement within your company. But this may not necessarily turn into a large follow-on order. Start-ups should understand that engineers like "shiny things", and part of their job will be to buy and test devices which appear innovative. Sadly, an evaluation kit purchase does not give a strong indication of whether a company will buy more units. The purchase shouldn't be given undue weight in business plan projections, unless you have established a concrete connection between the evaluation kit purchaser and the ultimate buyer. When selling to large corporations where a technology evaluator (e.g. a central R&D facility) may not have strong links with your targeted business area, a multi-pronged approach is advisable. You should identify the ultimate purchaser(s) and build a relationship with them almost as if they were a separate entity. 6. Who will really benefit from your product?Some start-up teams approach us without a clear understanding of who will really benefit from their technology. This is a problem when the buyer and the benefactor are different.For instance, we see a number of companies pitching technologies that make buildings more energy efficient. The cost of these products and their installation may fall on the building owner, but the benefit of reduced utilities goes to the buildings' tenants. In this case, it can be difficult to convince the owner to spend money unless there is some recognition or payback. It may be easy to prove the overall benefits of your technology, but you must be ready to work across the spectrum of stakeholders to ensure that the value is recognised appropriately. Simply removing inefficiencies in a system is often not enough. Business models between stakeholders sometimes need to change in order for better technologies or processes to be adopted.A hardware success story Mobile payments unicorn, Square, is a prime example of a hardware success story. Co-founded by Twitter's Jack Dorsey, it provides smaller and mid-sized retailers with the ability to process payments easily. Adoption of Square technology has been simple for both retailers and customers. Installation of Square hardware requires absolutely no behavioural or systemic changes, an important point which is so often overlooked and will cause a product launch to fail. In the case of Square, the hardware plugs directly into smart-phones or tablets via a headphone jack which couldn't be any simpler. Further reasons for success include the targeting of the SME retail market, which is fast at adopting new technologies, and offers few gatekeepers. The company has raised $150 million at a $6 billion valuation, has an international user base, and a strong technology portfolio including its first product, the Square reader to the Square terminal launched in October 2018.Author details:Bill Yost is Investment Manager in Mercia Technologies' Electronics, Materials, Manufacturing & Engineering Investment team Author Bill Yost Comment on this article Websites https://www.merciatech.co.uk/ Companies Mercia Technologies This material is protected by MA Business copyright See Terms and Conditions.

It's like hitting a home run in your first Major League at-bat. Wright State University composer and piano instructor Steven Aldredge's first opera, "The Hatfield-McCoy Triptychs," was one of five performed by the Fort Worth Opera in a prestigious showcase event.
"It's big," said Aldredge, music director of the Wright State Opera Theater's spring production. "The Fort Worth Opera is one of America's great opera companies. They also are really interested in new works. So this showcase is one of the few opportunities for composers who write opera to submit their work and, if selected, have it performed."
Almost as impressive as having excerpts of his opera performed in Fort Worth is the gravitas of Aldredge's subject matter — the historic Hatfield-McCoy feud, a bloody decade-long dispute that claimed the lives of more than a dozen members of the two families.
"What people don't realize is just how violent the story actually is," said Aldredge. "It's really devastating. It goes to the heart of a lot of core elements of American life."
Aldredge, who grew up in the foothills of Greenville, South Carolina, was inspired by his own Appalachian heritage after stumbling across a newspaper photo of the matriarchs of the Hatfield and McCoy families. He envisioned the two women standing on separate sides of the stage singing a duet.
He researched the feud by reading historical accounts as well as family histories and then two years ago began writing the "The Hatfield-McCoy Triptychs." Small parts of the opera have already been staged at Wright State so Aldredge could get some feedback.
The main characters are "Devil Anse" Hatfield and Randolph "Ole Ran'l" McCoy, patriarchs of the two clans who lived on the Kentucky-West Virginia border. Between 1880 and 1891, their dispute claimed the lives of more than a dozen family members. The Hatfield-McCoy feud has become a synonym for family honor, justice and revenge.
"I have had to figure out if I'm willing to put all of the violence that actually happened into this opera because it is unremittent," said Aldredge. "As violent as operas sometimes are, the Hatfield-McCoy feud is shocking in its brutality — even for opera."
Aldredge's work and the other operas were performed on May 8 and 9 at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden Auditorium.
Aldredge's opera runs about two-and-a-half hours, but only about 20 to 25 minutes of it was staged by the Fort Worth Opera, which provided the actors and music. The showcase attracted directors of opera companies from around the country, who watched the operas and offered their feedback.
"Set deep in the Appalachian Mountains, on the border between good and evil, composer and librettist Steven Aldredge's 'The Hatfield-McCoy Triptychs' recounts the epic American story of betrayal, love and the destructive force of revenge as it scorches a trail of unspeakable violence across generations," the Fort Worth Opera said in its news release.
Founded in 1946, the Fort Worth Opera is the oldest continually performing opera company in Texas and one of the 14 oldest opera companies in the United States. It has taken a leadership role in engaging audiences beyond the operatic stage while producing cutting-edge, contemporary operas.
Aldredge studied piano performance at Florida State University, where he was a graduate assistant in opera coaching; he continued his studies as a D.M.A. candidate and teaching assistant at the University of Cincinnati's College Conservatory of Music.
Aldredge has performed internationally with leading soloists from the Metropolitan Opera and recording artists from such major labels as Naxos and EMI. He has given recitals with principal players from many of the world's leading orchestras, including The New York Philharmonic, The Vienna Philharmonic, The Bavarian Radio Orchestra and the Pacific Festival Orchestra of Sapporo, Japan.
Aldredge has composed over 70 works, winning praise for both his vocal and instrumental works. His award-winning choral works are published internationally through Colla Voce, Soundforth, Lorenz and The Sacred Music Press.

Want to know more but can't make it to campus?
If you aren't going to make it to campus, there are plenty of ways to explore Perkins closer to your home. Whether you are connecting with one of our traveling staff, attending a webinar or visiting the SMU campus virtually, there are several opportunities to connect with us right where you are.
"I visited seven seminaries, and out of them all, Perkins had the most welcoming community. I felt like I was a welcomed student before I even applied. Through Perkins connections, I have been able to work as a classroom leader in a nonprofit after-school program. This experience invites me to connect my theological education with a ministry in West Dallas. I feel led to start a nontraditional church in my home conference, and my classes at Perkins provided a space of open discernment for what that could look like."

President Barack Obama on Wednesday will lay out his strategy for what the White House says is "degrading and destroying" the extremist group calling itself the Islamic State (also ISIS or ISIL).
The expanded campaign will mark a dramatic shift in policy against the group, after a campaign that has been mostly aimed at containing the group's advances in Iraq.
To that note, the Pentagon on Wednesday released a summary of the U.S. military's actions to date thus far in Iraq. It has conducted 154 strikes against ISIS-held targets, damaging or destroying 212 targets in the process. The Pentagon also said that a total of 1,043 U.S. forces are currently in Iraq, the majority of which are providing support to diplomatic security at facilities in Baghdad.
Here's a breakdown from the Pentagon on where the strikes have taken place and the ISIS targets they have damaged or destroyed:
Total Strikes:
The U.S. military has conducted a total of 154 strikes against ISIL targets. The following is a breakdown of strikes by location:
- Irbil: 29
- Sinjar: 13
- Mosul Dam: 91
- Amirli: 4
- Haditha: 17
ISIL Targets Damaged or Destroyed:
The U.S. military has damaged or destroyed 212 ISIL targets. The following is a breakdown of targets by category including vehicles, weapons systems, and facilities.
Total ISIL Vehicles: 162
- Armed Vehicles: 88
- Humvees: 37
- Armored Personnel Carriers: 12
- Tanks: 2
- MRAPs: 1
- Construction Vehicle: 1
- Miscellaneous Vehicles: 21
Total ISIL Weapons Systems: 21
- Anti Aircraft Artillery: 7
- IED Emplacements: 7
- Mortar Positions: 5
- Machine Gun Locations: 1
- Weapons Cache: 1
Total ISIL Facilities: 29
- Fighting Positions: 12
- Checkpoints: 10
- Observation Posts: 2
- Buildings: 2
- Command Post: 1
- Bunkers: 1
- Large Ground Unit: 1
The Pentagon also provided an update on the humanitarian aid that has been supplied to regions under the control of ISIS in Iraq, with support from allies in the U.K., France, and Australia.
Near Mount Sinjar, the U.S. military conducted 28 airdrops of food and supplies to the religious minority Yazidi sect. The airdrops provided 35,000 gallons of water and nearly 115,000 ready-to-eat meals.
Near Amirli, the U.S. military conducted four airdrops of food and water to Shiite Turkomen. Those airdrops provided 10,500 gallons of water and more than 7,000 ready-to-eat meals.

Cops use Narcan to revive man... he starts shooting once revived.
This is messed up. The cops used Narcan to revive someone, when revived he took out a gun, killed a firefighter and took a woman hostage.
'Heart-wrenching' footage of fatal firefighter shooting released
APPLETON, Wis. (WLUK) -- The police body camera footage, pieced together with 911 calls, photos and scanner activity paint a terrifying picture of what occurred the afternoon of May 15, leading to the death of Appleton firefighter Mitch Lundgaard.
It all started off as a call for help.
I have a person on the Lamers bus. I dont know if hes having...or sleeping, or having some kind of seizure, or something, but we need an ambulance as soon as possible, the 911 caller said.
Outagamie County District Attorney Melinda Tempelis said in a news conference Thursday that Ruben Houston was on a bus traveling from Milwaukee to Wausau which had stopped in Appleton. When the bus arrived, other passengers noticed Houston was unresponsive and breathing abnormally, and called 911.
Firefighters were the first to arrive at the Valley Transit Center to assist Houston who the bus driver and passengers said appeared to be having a seizure.
In a matter of minutes, that standard medical call would turn deadly.
After Houston is rendered aid and off the bus, bodycam footage shows officers trying to convince Houston to go to the hospital. Seconds later, Houston is seen walking back, before firing the shots, one of them being the deadly shot into Lundgaard.
The bodycam footage is from Sgt. Christopher Biese and Officer Paul Christensens point of view. Christensen was shot during that confrontation, along with Lundgaard.
Police rushed to take cover. Both Christensen and Biese fired multiple shots at Houston. Houston was hit, and officers moved in to handcuff him, once he threw the gun away.
When officers have Houston safely in custody, they start tending to 30-year-old Brittany Schowalter. Police say Houston used her as a human shield, during the shootout with police. Schowalter was hit in the leg and the head -- likely by officers.
Paramedics rushed to get her on stretcher. Biese helped secure her and carry her to an ambulance so she could be taken to the hospital.
In another 911 call, paramedics could be heard enroute to ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Neenah, working on Lundgaard.
We got a firefighter down; shot. CPR's in progress; CPR in progress, the medic said.
Police learned that Lundgaard died later that night.
Appleton Police Chief Todd Thomas says it was heart-wrenching.
After looking through the body camera footage from that night, heart- and gut-wrenching is exactly what it is.
Thomas says the department will follow protocol before clearing the officers for regular duties.
Schowalter was released from the hospital last week. Tempelis and Thomas did not have details on how she is doing in her recovery.

Re: Cops use Narcan to revive man... he start shooting once revived.
Maybe procedure should be now that they get handcuffed before treatment. I've seen a lot of videos of cops handcuffing corpses.Rules are written in the stone,

Re: Cops use Narcan to revive man... he start shooting once revived.
Part of my EMT training was to restrain ODs before administering Narcan because there's a 50/50 chance when they come out of the haze they're gonna come out swinging.You are a straight white man. You don't get to be the victim, sweetie.

Hi Tracy!
How are you? Long time, no talk which in your line of business isn't a bad thing ;) I never began my 2 weeks of follow up calls with you because Hailey responded very well to some of the changes we made during the day. Following your advice, I began giving her a morning nap again (no more than 45 mins), changed the night light situation, I bathe her with lilac Epsom salts every night, and I have waged a war against any form of light entering her room. I think one of the biggest changes is that she now goes to sleep no later than 7 pm (whereas previously it was 8 pm) and I've been diligently paying abiding by the sleep windows. As such, she's been sleeping through the night and the world is a much brighter happier place for our family :) In fact, we've fallen in love all over again with her! She is a TOTALLY different kid and has such an unbelievable little personality. She's more coordinated, there's no more raunchy, screaming crying, she's nowhere as intense, she's active, and best of all she's HAPPY! Some of the things that desperately concerned me are no longer concerns as it seems that the sleep has fixed so many of my worries. The more sleep she started getting during the day and the earlier bedtime allowed for her to start sleeping through the night. I didn't have to do any of the shushing. There was one week where she woke up often but she was getting 3 molars so I gave her an excuse. Aside from teething she sleeps through the night and it has been glorious.
This mom's baby was 17 months old, we did some gentle things to adjust her schedule and she had food sensitivities and would wake screaming bloody murder. The mom had serious health issues with her thyroid and what looked like PPD but guess what, getting back to sleeping all night fixed all the mom's health issues. A good sleep makes a world of difference. Sleep deprivation was wreaking havoc with her family and now it's wonderful again. Getting enough sleep is the right place to start.
If you are sleep deprived, I can help.

Let's applaud the American Educational Research Association for its plan to livestream part of its 2014 conference being held April 3 – 6, 2014 for free (you do have to register; pause for applause). Unfortunately, the one session I'd really like to hear is not one of the chosen ones. It's the "Sing about Science: Leveraging the Power of Music to Improve Science Education" session being delivered by two researchers from the University of Washington (UW; state). From the April 2, 2014 UW news release (also on EurekAlert),
As the United States puts ever-greater emphasis on science, technology, engineering and mathematics education to keep competitive in the global economy, schools are trying to figure out how to improve student learning in science.
University of Washington researchers Katie Davis and Greg Crowther think music may be the answer for some kids. They studied the ability of music videos to enhance students' understanding of scientific concepts.
Davis will present "Sing about Science: Leveraging the Power of Music to Improve Science Education" on Friday (April 4) at the American Educational Research Association's annual conference.
Davis and Crowther aren't just talking about music as a mnemonic device to help students memorize facts. Previous research has shown that music can reduce stress and increase student engagement in the learning process, so the researchers theorized that music videos could help some students process and retain information better.
"It makes sense that we shouldn't teach all kids in the same way; we should individualize," said Davis, an assistant professor in the UW's Information School. "We need to provide multiple entry points in all subject matters. Music is a different entry point into scientific concepts."
Crowther is a biologist but is so interested in music that 10 years ago he created a website with a database of songs about science and math; SingAboutScience.org now has links to more than 7,000 of them (the majority do not have video). Teachers can type in a topic and find music relevant to what they are teaching.
For their current research, they set up laptop computers at five science-related outreach events in Washington state. Most targeted students in K-12, but adults also participated. Participants in the study ranged from 3 to 76 years old, with a median age of 12. Each person sat in front of a laptop and selected a science-based music video to watch.
For instance, one video is titled "Fossil Rock Anthem," and is a parody of the hip-hop song "Party Rock Anthem." It shows a dancing archaeologist, graphics of fossils and ground striations and continental plates drifting. It's a catchy tune with fun, colorful graphics.
Participants took a pre-video quiz of four questions related to information in the video, plus a bonus question not covered by the video. They were also asked to rate their confidence in their answers. They were randomly assigned to watch either a visually-rich music video or a music video that showed only the lyrics on screen. Then they took a post-video quiz that included the same content and confidence questions.
In two-thirds of the music videos (10 out of 15), participants had more correct answers after watching the videos. Quiz scores rose by an average of one more correct answer after watching the videos. The lyrics-only music videos were as beneficial to improving quiz scores as the visually-rich videos.
Participants improved their scores not only on factoid-type questions, but also the more complex comprehension questions, which shows that the videos improved people's scientific understanding and not just memorization.
Pre- and post-quiz scores were no different for the bonus questions, which did not cover material from the videos. This finding suggests that the boost in quiz scores was due to watching the video, and not by some other variable.
The researchers say everyone learns in different ways, and past research has shown that students learn best with hands-on, personally relevant tools that utilize powers of observation and audio-visuals. They also note that a person's memories can change based on an emotionally charged atmosphere. Since music is an emotional medium, it makes sense that our educational memory could be enhanced by it.
"We're not saying this is the only way you should teach science, it's just a different way," Davis said. "We're hoping it can engage a broader array of students, to help them find success and create identities as science learners."
Added Crowther, "There wasn't a teacher breathing down students' necks telling them they had to learn this for a test. People voluntarily watched these videos for fun. This is exactly the type of opportunity we should be creating more of. Students will seek it out just because it's fun and interesting."
I went to Crowther's website, Sing About Science (be careful, you may spend more time on the website than you planned), and picked this video from the listing,
It makes me think of protest songs from the 1960s. Here's more about the video from its YouTube home,

FICS® Customers Have a Choice in Hosting Solutions
Is it time to re-visit where you house your software and data? Are you finding it difficult to maintain qualified technical support? Or, are you at a point where you need to purchase new hardware to keep up with evolving technology and you want to explore other options? FICS® customers can choose to host their data and software on an isolated on-premises server or a cloud solution. Third party hosting providers have been happily used by FICS customers for 17 years. Is a cloud solution right for your company?
Benefits of a Cloud Solution
Remote accessibility. You can access your software from any desktop computer or laptop, anywhere you have internet access. You don't have to be tied to your desk, so you can work efficiently even when you're on the go.
Security made easier. A cloud hosting provider can provision security services to meet or surpass your company's overall security requirements for your systems and data. Their data centers must meet minimum compliance standards and can give your internal staff the information they need to complete security audits.
Labor saving. Eliminate or reduce in-house IT staff. When you keep your FICS software on your in-house server, you'll need qualified IT staff to install, configure, maintain and backup the system. Gartner estimates that at least 80% of a company's overall IT resources are spent on maintenance of hardware and software. Many cloud-based hosting providers offer system maintenance and security management activities as part of their service. You won't have to purchase new hardware or update outdated hardware, and your system maintenance, including FICS enhancement and regulatory updates, can be done automatically so that you can focus on other tasks.
Selecting a Hosting Solution Provider
Recently FICS conducted research and found that some of its customers have used hosting provider services since 2000. So, what are some of the key factors used to determine a hosting solution? It varied based on internal requirements and proximity. FICS found that customers already using a hosting provider for their core financial system, utilized their provider's services for their FICS systems as well. Engaging a single hosting provider's services for a customer's core system and their FICS systems, allows the bank or credit union to streamline and maintain all of their technological requirements with one company.
FICS found that customers also based their hosting solution provider decision on criteria centered around their business requirements. Is your company a bank, credit union or mortgage company? Regardless of what type of financial institution you are, the decision to have full control of maintaining the software and data or outsourcing it to an external hosting company is unique to each customer and based on many factors. A few hosting providers FICS customers have used:
Hosting Solutions for FICS Customers
FICS' software solutions have been architected to take advantage of the Microsoft® Windows® platforms, using Microsoft®.NET Framework, providing both performance and flexibility. We recognize each company has a wide range of specific requirements. FICS software is ideal for the customer who desires either a cloud hosted solution or an in-house server.
The FICS team has extensive technological experience and the knowledge to provide innovative, yet practical approaches. To find out more about FICS' software solutions or requirements for having your FICS system hosted, contact our Marketing Department: 972.458.8583 or email@example.com.

Want to know more about the book review star rating system? Or find out what other books I've reviewed? Check out this page here.
|"Never had he met a woman so strongly in need of a good spanking."
Five Stars!
Ages ago I wrote a review of Casey McKay's wonderful book Emmaline's Groom for Spanking Romance Reviews. In it, I said "I feel like I have I have just acquired my very own bespoke romance writer catering specially to my own personal requirements".
Well, blow me down if I haven't just found another writer who seems to have approached writing spanky romance by saying "Now what are the things that Etta Stark loves in a book? I'll make sure I put ALL those things in".
I'm not really suggesting that Ms Malling actually did that, of course. I don't know the lady. Not even virtually. But, as far as I'm concerned, In Need Of Correction is just about perfect.
It's a superbly-written Austen-esque drawing room romance in which the principal characters, Mr Andrew Hunter and Miss Leticia Waterford are both absolutely charming. Lettie is a strong-willed young lady who is stifled by parochial Surrey society and vaguely indifferent parents. Her sister, Eleanor's marriage has left her without her one steady, supportive influence. The book begins with a visit from Eleanor and we are introduced to Lettie who is hiding behind a brittle facade and spending her time Mean-Girls-ing with Annabel Linfield, an entertainingly bitchy young woman who turns out to be even more horrible than she first appears.
Happily for our heroine, Ellie is accompanied not just by her husband but also her new brother-in-law, Andrew.
Good news for us readers too because Andrew Hunter is just downright bloody delicious. The epitome of the reserved Regency gentleman who you immediately know is a jolly good egg at heart. Reminiscent of Mr Darcy or Mr Knightley but with a far twitchier hand.
|"Badly done, Lettie."
Admittedly there wouldn't have been much of a book if he'd done that. And what he lacks in passionate declarations, he more than makes up for with a kind heart, dry wit and a whole bunch of disciplinary spankings. Having ascertained pretty sharpish that Lettie is a good soul sorely lacking in discipline, Andrew takes it upon on himself to provide the necessary correction. Usually bare-bottomed over his knee but there's a satisfying variety to the benevolent beatings.
Because that's what I really want from a book. Gracie Malling's gifts for satisfying story-lines, well-fleshed out characters and excellent prose are all very well but we all know that the quality of the spankings is everything. And here Malling (and of course Mr Hunter) really delivers. Andrew Hunter is certainly not a man to deliver a few paltry swats to a woman's arse and have done with it. When he administers a spanking, you can depend upon him making a thorough job of it. And provide a damn good cuddling afterwards, of course.
|There's a very satisfying scene in the stables with a riding crop
My one criticism (and it isn't even a criticism, really, just a tiny niggle) is is that I wished we could have had a scene where Lettie explains her odd behaviour to Mr Hunter's cousin, Jane, to him. It would have been nice to set the record straight on that score.
Actually it would have been nice to have seen more of Jane altogether. Maybe there could be a sequel with her story? She's had a terrible time of it. I reckon a nice, kind gentleman with a very firm hand could be just what she needs. It certainly worked out extraordinarily well for Lettie.

Objection 2: Further, a sin is mortal through being contrary to charity, as stated above (Q, A). But ingratitude is contrary to charity, since the debt of gratitude proceeds from that virtue, as stated above (Q, A, ad 3; A, ad 2). Therefore ingratitude is always a mortal sin.
Objection 3: Further, Seneca says (De Benef. ii): |Between the giver and the receiver of a favor there is this law, that the former should forthwith forget having given, and the latter should never forget having received.| Now, seemingly, the reason why the giver should forget is that he may be unaware of the sin of the recipient, should the latter prove ungrateful; and there would be no necessity for that if ingratitude were a slight sin. Therefore ingratitude is always a mortal sin.
Objection 4: On the contrary, No one should be put in the way of committing a mortal sin. Yet, according to Seneca (De Benef. ii), |sometimes it is necessary to deceive the person who receives assistance, in order that he may receive without knowing from whom he has received.| But this would seem to put the recipient in the way of ingratitude. Therefore ingratitude is not always a mortal sin.
I answer that, As appears from what we have said above (A), a man may be ungrateful in two ways: first, by mere omission, for instance by failing to recognize the favor received, or to express his appreciation of it or to pay something in return, and this is not always a mortal sin, because, as stated above (Q, A), the debt of gratitude requires a man to make a liberal return, which, however, he is not bound to do; wherefore if he fail to do so, he does not sin mortally. It is nevertheless a venial sin, because it arises either from some kind of negligence or from some disinclination to virtue in him. And yet ingratitude of this kind may happen to be a mortal sin, by reason either of inward contempt, or of the kind of thing withheld, this being needful to the benefactor, either simply, or in some case of necessity.
Secondly, a man may be ungrateful, because he not only omits to pay the debt of gratitude, but does the contrary. This again is sometimes mortal and sometimes a venial sin, according to the kind of thing that is done.
It must be observed, however, that when ingratitude arises from a mortal sin, it has the perfect character of ingratitude, and when it arises from venial sin, it has the imperfect character.
Reply to Objection 1: By committing a venial sin one is not ungrateful to God to the extent of incurring the guilt of perfect ingratitude: but there is something of ingratitude in a venial sin, in so far as it removes a virtuous act of obedience to God.
Reply to Objection 2: When ingratitude is a venial sin it is not contrary to, but beside charity: since it does not destroy the habit of charity, but excludes some act thereof.
Reply to Objection 3: Seneca also says (De Benef. vii): |When we say that a man after conferring a favor should forget about it, it is a mistake to suppose that we mean him to shake off the recollection of a thing so very praiseworthy. When we say: He must not remember it, we mean that he must not publish it abroad and boast about it.|
Reply to Objection 4: He that is unaware of a favor conferred on him is not ungrateful, if he fails to repay it, provided he be prepared to do so if he knew. It is nevertheless commendable at times that the object of a favor should remain in ignorance of it, both in order to avoid vainglory, as when Blessed Nicolas threw gold into a house secretly, wishing to avoid popularity: and because the kindness is all the greater through the benefactor wishing not to shame the person on whom he is conferring the favor.

Happy 4th of July!
My Independence Day celebrations started yesterday with a bunch of friends and co-workers over at my buddy's new house. Then today with more friends and family at our home with a pool party, lots of food, and fireworks in the street. Friday, after I've managed to wash all the gunpowder out of my hair, we've got the Midwest Laser Tag Association's 8th Annual Independence Eve Blast (although it's not on the "eve" of Independence Day this year)... so I'm in the middle of a 3 day event!
When Saturday Hits, I'll hit the ground running with photos from the IEB, working on some reviews, and getting more projects underway. So keep an eye out for that! In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the week!

I haven't really done much with it, which is a shame, given that I think it's one of my better efforts at titles and taglines, but tonight I've made only my third-ever post there. It just didn't fit either here or at Houblog. If you've got an interest in aviation, deadly air crashes, or just failure in general, you might want to check it out. It's rather lengthy, but fascinating — in my biased opinion.

There are days when things do not go as planned and you almost have to fight the elements. In this article we tell you our fourth day of Trip to china, when we went from Beijing to Datong and almost became majaras looking for the hotel we had booked for the night.
It is not easy to stop a taxi in China let alone get you where you want. It was half past six in the morning, in a torrential rain, loaded with two large suitcases and we were heading towards the Beijing bus station.
Chinese service area
Standing in the middle of that decaying shopping street, watching taxis pass one after another, it was when I remembered that the taxis stop lowering the arm from top to bottom with the palm of the open hand (thanks, Beijing Express!). And that we had been in China for four days. After making the gesture, we managed to stop a taxi, we entered and, with the help of the iPad, we showed the taxi driver the address of the bus station written in Chinese We wanted to go to.
At 7.15 we were already at the station trying to buy two bus tickets for the next one to go to Datong. The one at 7.30 and the one at 8 were already full but, luckily, we got a place at the one at 8.20h. You can also go to Datong by train, but turn around and take more than seven hours. If a traffic jam is not caught in Beijing, the bus arrives in Datong in 4 hours, but that was just the theory.
At the bus station it was not very well indicated on which door you had to board. Even so, we liked to see that, in general, the Chinese are very friendly, they show you the way and accompany you if necessary. So, we found the door, we sat in the seats in front and waited until one of the reviewers came looking for us to announce that our bus had arrived.
Datong, China
The bus was not bad, it had leather seats and air conditioning, but it was a bit dirty and dilapidated. The thing began to twist when we saw that it was half past eight and we had not yet left. Someone was missing and did not arrive. In the end, we started up twenty minutes late, but ten minutes later we stopped in the middle of the street until a car appeared with two people inside who got on the bus and finally we really started. What is a saying, since there was such traffic jam in Beijing It took us more than an hour and a half to leave the city. Despite this, the bus ride was quite comfortable and, in addition, we were stopping every hour and a half in service areas with fairly clean bathrooms and supermarkets to buy some soda.
Finally we arrived in Datong at two in the afternoon. There we had a room reserved in the Datong Youth Hostel. I thought it would not be necessary to have a map to know the way to get there, but I hoped that it would be enough to have the address for a taxi driver to take us. But the Chinese taxi drivers are very his and none wanted to take us to the hostel because they said he was too close and that they would not lose the possibility of making a long run for seven miserable yuan. This taxi ride in China has its technique, not only know how to stop them, but getting them to take you once you have stopped one is also an arduous task.
As everyone said the hostel was close, we tried to get directions on how to get there. First we asked a policeman who was entertaining playing with his phone and it seems that it bothered him that we interrupted him. Then we asked a small travel agency that it seemed like weeks ago they were selling nothing. One of the girls, with laughter and shame, drew us a map. On that map, the hostel It was one block to the right, two blocks to the left and again one block to the left of it. Seen from the perspective of the map, it seemed very easy, so we began to walk dragging our bags.
What we did not expect is that apples end up being sections of kilometer communist avenue (and I don't exaggerate). At each intersection we asked if we were on the right track to not walk more than the bill, and that is to walk, we walked a lot that day, until we finally reached the Huansi Daijie street. He lodging house I was at number two on that street, but the buildings had no street number indicated. We went Huansi Daijie up and Huansi Daijie down (the street was not exactly short), and there was no hostel, no hotel, no hostel or anything.

DULUTH, GEORGIA, June 2, 2014, It is an accepted scientific fact that poor sleeping habits can lead to many health problems, and even shorten the lifetime of older adults. When people sleep on extremely soft bed linens and pillow cases, the sleep derived is plentiful and restful. It's all about the feeling of waking up in the morning feeling refreshed. ElegantEgyptianLinens.com was launched with the Mission of providing the most comfortable sleeping linens that can be found anywhere in the world.
There's nothing quite like the feel of Egyptian Cotton. Its long fibers and high thread count makes it the perfect material for high-quality bedding. Long ago, the only way to buy Egyptian Linen Sheets was to visit expensive luxury shops. Shoppers can now easily go online and instantly find a vast selection of Egyptian Linen items to choose from. For several centuries, Egyptian cotton has given Egypt a competitive advantage because the entire World knows that it is the best "cotton" available anywhere.
Several factors go into why this material is the best "cotton" linen available on the planet. The length of the fibers enables the manufacture of the finest materials without sacrificing yarn strength. The reason these fabrics appear so color intense is the ability of the fabric to absorb more liquids. This hand-picked Egyptian cotton causes no stress on the fibers, as does mechanical cotton picking. Hand-picking also guarantees the highest levels of quality. Egyptian linen is a hypoallergenic fabric that provides fantastic warmth far above ordinary cotton linen.
ElegantEgyptianLinens.com wants to be the "go-to" site for: Linens, Sheet Sets, Pillow Cases, Duvets Cases & Covers, and more. Many different thread counts and colors are available. Any bed can be turned into a "sleepers paradise" with the addition of a 100% Egyptian Cotton Linen bed sheet and pillow cases. They also make a great gift, the gift of good sleep.

Modric the best player in the world and a scapegoat at Real Madrid - Dalic
Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic has come to the defence of Luka Modric after Real Madrid's poor start to the season and said the midfielder has been unfairly criticised at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Madrid are sixth in La Liga after losing four of their 12 matches so far this term but have recovered some form in recent weeks under caretaker coach Santiago Solari, winning their last four games in all competitions.
Modric is in the Croatia squad for their Nations League matches against Spain and England and Dalic has revealed that he has spoken to his captain ahead of the fixtures.
Editors' Picks
- 'He's screwed now!' - New Juventus boss Pirlo lucky he doesn't 'give a toss' about pressure
- Floodgates open: Mewis transfer to Man City set to lead USWNT exodus
- Champions League Power Rankings: Who will take Liverpool's crown in Lisbon?
- First Sancho, now Garcia: Why don't Man City's young stars want to play for Guardiola?
"We talked a few days ago," Dalic told reporters.
"Luka is aware that in football there are oscillations, that after playing brilliantly for a whole year, he cannot always be in shape and always be the best.
"When Madrid loses a match, then they look for the culprit among the foreigners, so they blame Luka, [Toni] Kroos or someone else.
"At the end of the day, Luka is the best player in the world."
Croatia will hope Modric can help them bounce back from the 6-0 defeat they suffered against Spain in September and improve on their 0-0 draw with England in October.
Dalic's men are bottom of League A Group 4 with one point but have a game in hand on England and Spain, who have four and six points from three outings, respectively.
"I think we have a much better mood and form than in that first game," said Dalic, reflecting on defeat in Spain. "The Spaniards have since lost to England. We need two victories.
"I expect a full stadium, victories and the points that will keep us in contention for the European Championship."

CNN: "Imagine one day receiving recognition for decades of service from your employer only to be laid off the next day. That is what happened to one Walt Disney Parks and Resorts employee who asked not be identified." - Disney is one of those companies I'd love to work for. I've always loved visiting DisneyLand and loved their animated films, even before they acquired Pixar. I hope they can keep chugging along and come out the other end of this poor economy stronger than ever.

I am back with some more
Bashful inspiration.
I love the way this card turned out.
It is so soft and subtle.
See the pink cardstock that the sentiment is stamped on,
and the background mat.
Well, they are both from the same sheet of Bashful Cardstock.
That's because our cardstock now comes in two tones
and I think that is so cool.
The feather image is from the
Stamp of the Month
And the sentiment is from
And here is one more Bashful feather card...
Bashful is such a soft, beautiful neutral color.
Happy mid-week.

Did you like what you read? Let others know. Thanks!
Marie - with every post of yours that I read, I am struck again by the quality of your writing. Thanks for this eloquent and sad post.
On one point in particular ... I am dumbfounded that your son has cut you out of your life because of your disease. That is so wrong on so many levels.
I remember playing this last year when you wrote about her. It is beautiful. Goat hugs...I wish they could cure.
Cranky - Thank you so much for your lovely compliment! It is always so good to see you.
Pricilla - That Elgar piece is so hauntingly beautiful. Thank you so much for the wonderful goat hugs They may not be a cure, but they go a long way in treating symptoms. :)
What emotion in this music. My heart goes out to you, Marie, as you struggle to cope with the losses you've experienced.
It is an incredible piece of music indeed.
Boom Boom, thank you so much for your kind words. It is so good to see you here! :)
I feel I had to comment on this post. Don't forget that the war was fought mainly in France and there were thousands of civilians in the North of France who were killed too; 'grand' in French means big. I've never been able to understand why it was translated as great, perhaps the way we use the word great has changed in the last 100 years. (On dictionary.com the use of great as 'wonderful' comes 3rd after 'size', 'numerous' and' considerable')
As an ex 'cello player who comes from Elgar country, I really enjoyed reading about Jacqueline du Pré and listening to the music. The piece you chose from the film was really moving. I think it helped me to understand.
If you're ever in the UK it is worth going to Elgar's birthplace in Broadheath Worcestershire (my husband grew up in the village). The cottage is still the same with a beautiful garden and the museum carefully hidden behind. (Very English, that war threatened and changed a way of life never to be recaptured)
Hi Anji! What a great comment, thank you so much!
You are absolutely correct and I should have included the horrifying numbers of civilian deaths. The estimated total casualties from the First World war is a staggering 15 million. I found conflicting figures for military deaths, eight million to ten million. But as you point out, it is important to recognize civilian deaths as well, which are estimated to be 7 million world wide. In France there were 40,000 civilian deaths due to direct combat and another 260,000 died due to other things the war caused, such as disease and famine. That was almost one percent of France's total population at the time. There really are no words for the loss. War is insane.
Thank you also for that information about Elgar's birthplace. What a coincidence that your husband grew up there. I love the pictures! They are so quintessentially English! :)
Much has been made about how that war changed England forever, between the decimation of an entire generation of young men to the social changes. You see that reflected in literature and in film, such as Upstairs/Downstairs and now, Downton Abbey.
How lovely it would be to chat over these things over a cup of tea!!! If I ever get to France, you are on my list of top sites to see! xoxo
hi there marie. you have a cool blog.
cheerful visit from philippines. :)
We're just getting Downton Abbey in France. I love it.
I'll put the kettle on ready!
I don't know what to say that hasn't been said know I am sending a bunch of virtual hugs.
Jen, you don't need to say anything. :) You are the best. Thanks for the hugs. I will save them and virtually wrap myself up when the going gets tough.

I wanted to focus on Mina Harker and how she is fundamental to the story of Dracula. I wanted to portray her coming from the darkness of the castle and being made somewhat out of bats, as she's been doomed by Dracula to become a vampire(should she die). Yet despite this, she uses her newly developed telepathic abilities to help bring Dracula down. She's a strong character who's directly linked to Dracula himself, and I wanted to portray her power over the entire story through this cover. — Megan Brady
