Stoke-on-Trent Central MP Gareth Snell has called for Theresa May to table a motion of no confidence in her own Cabinet.
Mr Snell, who was elected in February in a by-election, was debating the June 8 General Election with MPs in the House of Commons when he made the comments.
The Labour MP said: "One way she could secure the votes of me and my honourable friends is to table a motion of no confidence in her own Cabinet, which I will happily vote for."
A total of 522 MPs voted in favour of holding the election with 13 voting against the Prime Minister's plans.
A vote of no confidence would be passed if a majority of MPs felt they did not have confidence in the government.
The last time there was a no confidence vote was against Labour in 1979 under James Callaghan.
Mr Snell added: "The Prime Minister, in calling this election, essentially says she doesn't have confidence in her own government to deliver a Brexit deal for Britain."
In response, Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn stated he also had no confidence in the government.
Mr Corbyn also congratulated Mr Snell on his recent by-election win in Stoke-on-Trent Central.

Music Trivia - Vinyl Discs
September 06, 2010, 09:16:59 am »
Today in 1957, the first flexi-disc record was produced and used in a promotion for a Nestle chocolate bar
More New Artists Are Kicking It Old School
Even as recently as five years ago, there were only two places where turntables were commonly found: in attics, buried under dusty boxes of other family relics or else in clubs under the fingers of DJs. Long-playing albums, most commonly known as LPs, were often little more than pieces of nostalgia for the baby boomer generation.
But today, vinyl is making a comeback and its a big one.
Its not a secret or a surprise that CD sales have dropped steadily in the era of iTunes, file-sharing and music piracy. A little more surprising, however, is that sales of the old-fashioned standby, the LP, are increasing simultaneously.
Last year, CD sales dropped 19 percent from 2006 and the first quarter of 2008 showed similar results. But in the meantime, LP sales have gone up 10 percent.
This national trend has hit hard in Atlanta. Mel Pinson, manager of Criminal Records, a nationally recognized independent music store in Little Five Points, says that vinyl sales have increased 20 percent at his store in the past year, and that there are no signs of vinyls popularity peaking anytime soon.
There have been significant increases over the past two to four months, he said in an interview with the Wheel. He said that CD sales at the store have been decreasing slightly, but not as rapidly as LP sales have been increasing.
Eliot Johnson, who is in charge of the vinyl department at the Decatur CD Store, says that LP sales have increased since the store started carrying vinyl a year and a half ago.
Pinson and Johnson both said that with the exception of an occasional re-issue release like a recent Radiohead compilation, the majority of the vinyl they sell is newly released by modern artists, such as this summers Modern Guilt by Beck, rather than classic rock staples.
As for the reason behind the increase in sales, Johnson and Pinson both just offer speculation.
In large part, vinyls popularity boils down to what should be most important in music: the sound. No matter what, digital music is going to have a compressed sound that music on LPs doesnt. LPs, Pinson says, have a sound that is bigger, warmer, fuller than anything digital could ever provide.
Sure, theres the little pops and crackles, but for some that adds to the audio experience, Rich Friedman from the marketing department of EMI Music wrote in an e-mail to the Wheel.
Pinson also sees the production and consumption of LPs as an act of rebellion. Usually, anything from our parents era isnt considered essential to teens who want to act out. But real audiophiles especially those in what Johnson calls the younger, kind of indie, kind of hipster crowd can view buying LPs as a way of striking out against the era of mass-produced digital music that people rip from illegal Web sites.
This rebellion doesnt simply last as long as it takes to purchase an LP rather than navigating over to iTunes. Friedman also mentioned that listening to an LP is an experience that puts emphasis on the entire album, including album art, song order and composition, rather than on a popular single.
Vinyl consumers usually dont put a record on for a single song; the record gets played through, he wrote. You just put the LP on the table and let it play through until its time to flip sides.
Some artists have taken to including CDs or codes for digital downloads with their LPs.
You get the best of both worlds, Pinson reasoned. You get the sound quality of vinyl, but if you want to throw something in the car you can.
And ironically enough, the CD is being viewed as a dead art form by many, headed in the direction of the cassette and VHS tapes. LPs, on the other hand, have the reputation of being more timeless.
Pinson credits DJs with keeping the vinyl alive and for re-introducing and in many cases introducing a new generation to LPs.
The argument of whether vinyl is any better than digital sound is not going to wrap up anytime soon, and theres not necessarily anything wrong with that. But in the meantime, theres no way to ignore the cold, hard facts: vinyl records, once considered the dinosaurs of the music world, are still relevant in todays pop culture world.

*removes cobwebs and skeletons*
yes...I know....gravedigger....
I have to admit at least half of the music i bought this year comes on vinyl. Good thing is, with many releases today you get a download code for the digital version so you don't have to install a record player in your car
I also think that vinyls are not so expensive anymore as 5-6 years ago. Depending on the amount of vinyls they put into the current edition and also depending on the label the prizes currently range between 15-40. With smaller labels with smaller editions I usually end up with 20-25 per album (mainly 2 vinyls).

Very good information…are any discounts for home improvements?
So many places offer discounts to seniors, but sometimes the details can be a bit hard to pin down. The best rule of thumb is to always ask if a senior discount is offered! Some places will even match a discount even if they don't offer one themselves. This article is packed with some of the best discounts available at a variety of different venues, but never forget to ask.
Most grocery stores will offer a senior discount on a specific day of the week. It seems that Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the most common, but sometimes it can be on other days. The age requirement also varies from store to store, usually starting at 50, 55, or 60. Check your favorite local grocery store for exact specifics!
Locally, Wegmans does not offer a senior discount. Tops gives a 6% discount to Seniors 60 and older on the first Tuesday of the month (you have to enroll for this at the service desk). While it seems that Price Chopper once did have a senior discount, it appears that they no longer do (or at the very least, do not have any information about it on their website).
The best discount offered by grocery stores seems to be 10%. The frequency can vary. Some offer discounts once a week or once a month. Those stores include:
1. Kroger – 10% off first Wednesday of the month
2. Gristedes Supermarket – 10% off every Tuesday
3. Albertsons – 10% off first Wednesday of the month
Some stores offer a more regular discount every week, but at only 5%. These include:
4. Publix – 5% every Wednesday
5. Shoprite – 5-10% on Tuesdays or Wednesdays
6. Harris Teeter – 5% every Thursday
Almost every restaurant has a senior discount of some kind, from a % off to a special menu just for seniors. When in doubt, the available discount is around 10% off, but you should always ask! Since there are just too many to name, I will try to highlight the very best deals you can find. One last tip: You may need to show your AARP card to get some of these discounts.
Best discounts at restaurants:
7. Carrabba's Italian Grill – 20% off on Wednesdays with your AARP card
8. Denny's – 20% off with your AARP card
9. Dunkin' Donuts – free donut with the purchase of a large coffee with your AARP card
10. Outback Steakhouse – 15% off on Monday through Thursday with your AARP card
11. Papa John's – 25% off online orders with code AARP25
The discounts on car rentals are actually really good with all the major companies offering a discount.
12. Hertz– 25% off with an AARP card
13. Avis– 25% off with an AARP card
14. Alamo – 25% off with an AARP card
15. National – up to 30% with an AARP card.
There is also a 5 % discount for the (16) Greyhound bus and 15% for (17) Amtrak (both require the traveler to be at least 62 years of age).
Most airlines offer a senior discount, but they don't publicly commit to the discount amount. You have to call to do the booking and ask for the discount at that time.
Major cruise lines like (18) Carnival and (19) Royal Caribbean also offer discounts for those over 55, but they can vary from trip to trip.
Most hotels have a senior discount of some kind, which either vary or run the standard 10% off, and most require an AARP card. Some of the more notable discounts include:
20. Hyatt Hotels – up to 50% off for those of 62 years of age or older – WOW!
21. Marriott Hotels – 15% for those of 62 years of age or older
22. Super 8 Motels – up to 20% off with your AARP card
23. Wyndam Hotels – up to 20% off with your AARP card
24. Holiday Inn Hotels – between 10 and 30% off for those of 62 years of age or older, but it can very depending on location
The following places offer between 20 and 30% off for those of 60 years of age or older:
25. Cambria Suites
26. Clarion Inns
27. Comfort Inns and Suites
28. Econo Lodge
29. Quality Inns
The most obvious thing to look at first is the movies.
30. AMC Theaters have the best deal with up to 30% for those of 60 years of age or older.
31. Regal Theaters may also do the up to 30% discount and seem to offer a discount on refreshments with your AARP card, but both vary by location.
32. Cinemark Theaters also offer varying discounts on Mondays for those of 62 years of age or older.
Gym memberships are another area where seniors can find discounts. Many seniors are eligible for a free SilverSneakers membership through their health care plans. A SilverSneakers membership grants access to over 13,000 various gyms across the country or to special fitness classes in the community. Some gyms offer their own senior discounts as well. Some vary by community, but some chains, like (33) Bally, offer a universal discount. Bally offers $100 off of a gym membership to those 62 years of age or older.
(34) National Parks across the US honor a lifetime pass, which costs only $10, and grants access to over 2,000 National Parks. Depending on the site, the pass could also entitle seniors to further discounts on things like camping and swimming.
Many theme parks also offer senior discounts (which my Grandma always wanted me to use for myself, since there was no way she was interested in a roller coaster). Disney World is sadly not among the discount offers, but:
(35) Busch Gardens and (36) Seaworld offer $3 off of a one-day pass.
Finally, many places to shop offer senior discounts. Again, the standard seems to be 10% off, so I won't list all the places which do that, but be sure to ask anywhere that you shop. Some of the better shopping discounts include:
37. Kohls – 15% off in store for those of 60 years of age or older
38. Bealls – 20% off on the first Tuesday of the month for those of 50 years of age or older
39. Bon-Ton – 15% off on senior discount days for those of 55 years of age or older
40. Dress Barn – 20% off for those of 55 years of age or older
41. Stein Mart – 20% off red dot clearance on the first Monday of the month for those of 55 years of age or older
I was really hoping to find discounts related to utilities, and while they exist in some states, that's not the case in New York. It should be noted that National Grid does offer a reduced rate based on income, so if being a senior or retired has affected your income, you could qualify in that way.
Any chain haircut places (like (42) Supercuts, etc.) usually offers a senior discount that it will vary by location. As far as the locally owned places, it's worth asking, they can usually be very friendly and accommodating!
There are lots of continuing education opportunities for seniors as well. Some may be offered through local colleges and universities (these likely include a small fee). There are also specific programs just for seniors, like Oasis, which offer not only classes, but programs and assistance with computers, health care, etc.
If you are growing older with some beloved pets, you'll be excited to know that (43) 1-800-PetMeds offers a 5% discount for online orders and give free shipping along with it. The purchase has to be over $40 to qualify. Use code MCT5 for this discount.
(44) 1-800-Flowers also offers an online order discount, but of 20%. Use code SENIORS for this discount.
There are also options for cell phone discounts as a senior. (45) Verizon Wireless has a plan specifically for those of 65 years of age or older, which has 200 anytime minutes for $29.99. This is a great option if you don't have a cell now, don't plan to use one a lot, or have been holding out because you don't need unlimited minutes and don't like the prices! However, if you use a cell phone regularly or want to have a data plan, this won't cut it. AARP also offers some cellular packages.
Seniors likely qualify for discounts on their auto insurance, but this will vary between carriers. Many auto places offer discounts as well. It's best to ask there, since they all vary by age and which services are needed for the car. Check out the following:
46. Jiffy Lube
47. Pep Boys
48. Midas
49. Valvoline
Last, but certainly not least, seniors can expect many discounts on prescriptions! There are far too many pharmacies to name, but some of the highlights include:
50. Rite Aid – 15% off generic and name brand prescriptions (some exceptions)
51. Target – 10-50% off prescriptions, covers your whole household, add in the rewards program, and earn discounts for shopping in store
52. AARP – average 38% off prescriptions with AARP membership
53. CVS has a savings plan, but you pay an annual fee and the list of what does or does not get a discount in lengthy as opposed to simple. Best to ask for help in store on this one!
Quick Tip: You can also utilize lists from places like AARP.
I wish I could have listed more discounts for you here, but it was almost impossible to narrow it down! The main take away here is that you should always ask if a senior discount is available! They are often unadvertised offers. Happy savings!
Very good information…are any discounts for home improvements?
Iam 50yrs old what are my percentage to all discount.
I am 54 years old and being a AARP member,I am classifield for the AARP insurance discount
Kroger no longer gives a senior discount. I therefore have stopped shopping there.
Any discount for lumbers for seniors??
Dunkin donut no longer gives free donut for AARP members. However, they do offer 10% off your order
Thanks for the info.
DD in my area stopped the discount all together
I purchased a dental plan recently thru AARP. I don't like that I had to purchase an AARP membership card. I had cancelled my AARP card months ago b/c I didn't use it once in 2 years My food store or any restaurants nearby are not listed. For example, Dunkin Donuts; buy a large coffee (which I never buy) and get a free donut. If I must purchase a large coffee at $1.00 extra than a small size, what is the bargain? I don't think we should need to purhase membership card if we don't use it.
I'm disabled but 39. I have an AARP health insurance plan. My question is will I be given the same senior discounts? Thank you .
Sadly, Publix stopped offering their 5% discount on Wednesday quite a while ago.
please update monthly
Publix no longer gives discount to seniors either
Amtrak only give 10% discount and you have to be 65.
I too disagree with purchasing a membership card to receive a discount as senior citizen. Seemingly the dues or fees have been paid by long life.
I don't agree with the foundational beliefs and uses resources of AARP and will not give my money to them for membership. Unfortunately these businesses are requiring this card for a discount. I prefer to take my business elsewhere.
I get really mad that for many years the military gets a 10 percent most places they go. If retailers were going to do that they should have extended it to the elderly vets and me. I was 18 entered the military in 1972. From the 60's through 1976 when it ended none of those who returned home got squat. Were ignored and never a thanks for your service.So I believe that 65 is the beginning of S.S. and that is when you should receive it. The same thing as people who do not get a tax break on their real estate taxes because they were frugal all their life ans saved for their retirement so they would not live in poverty. The people who saved over $250,000. In Va will never get a dime off their real estate taxes. The people who had fun,vacationed spent all their money all the time will receive the real estate exemption, because they never saved .I believe this is Bull S. So I moved to another state.

A man has been charged following an armed robbery that occurred on Thursday, September 6 at Insignia Hair and Day Spa on York Road in Jamisontown.
At the time of the offence, staff were threatened by a male wearing a motorcycle helmet demanding cash before he fled the scene.
After extensive investigations detectives from the Nepean Police Area Command located the 35-year-old offender on Thursday, October 11 at Parker Street in Kingswood.
He was arrested and charged with the robbery of Insignia Hair and Day Spa, 'aggravated break and enter' and 'supply prohibited drugs', all from the same date.
Police believe this crime is linked to the recent armed hold-up at ABCOE on the same street, although charges for this crime are yet to be laid.
The same offender was also charged with another break and enter that occurred in Cranebrook on Thursday, October 4.
Passports were stolen and those goods remain in custody.
He was refused bail to appear at Penrith Local Court on Wednesday, December 12.

Patina by Jason Reynolds
M FIC Reynolds
A newbie to the track team, Patina must learn to rely on her teammates as she tries to outrun her personal demons in this follow-up to the National Book Award finalist Ghost by New York Times bestselling author Jason Reynolds.
Ghost. Lu. Patina. Sunny. Four kids from wildly different backgrounds with personalities that are explosive when they clash. But they are also four kids chosen for an elite middle school track team—a team that could qualify them for the Junior Olympics if they can get their acts together. They all have a lot to lose, but they also have a lot to prove, not only to each other, but to themselves.
Patina, or Patty, runs like a flash. She runs for many reasons—to escape the taunts from the kids at the fancy-schmancy new school she's been sent to since she and her little sister had to stop living with their mom. She runs from the reason WHY she's not able to live with her "real" mom any more: her mom has The Sugar, and Patty is terrified that the disease that took her mom's legs will one day take her away forever. So Patty's also running for her mom, who can't. But can you ever really run away from any of this? As the stress builds up, it's building up a pretty bad attitude as well. Coach won't tolerate bad attitude. No day, no way. And now he wants Patty to run relay…where you have to depend on other people? How's she going to do THAT? (SimonandSchuster.com)
If you haven't already, make sure you read Ghost before or after Patina!
One Crazy Summer

Finding Someplace
Kizzy Ann Stamps by Jeri Watts
In 1963, as Kizzy Ann prepares for her first year at an integrated school, she worries about the color of her skin, the scar running from the corner of her right eye to the tip of her smile, and whether anyone at the white school will like her. She writes letters to her new teacher in a clear, insistent voice, stating her troubles and asking questions with startling honesty. The new teacher is supportive, but not everyone feels the same, so there is a lot to write about.

Todmorden Mills was hosting this wedding ceremony and the weather was not on our side. Last minute the groom managed to get this tent delivered for the ceremony and it's a good thing he did. The rain started as soon as the ceremony started and the high winds took the tent partially down with all the guests inside. The ceremony went on and the bride and groom got married just in time to help hold the tent together with the help of all the guests. The storm quickly passed though and we went to enjoy the Churro Truck and then the bridal party was ready for photos.
We stayed around Todmorden Mills for all their photos before heading to the restaurant for the reception.

Oy gemach! Will transparency put an end to ultra-Orthodox free-loan societies?
Israel faces sanctions if it fails to uphold the Common Reporting Standard. But Haredi MKs fear new rules will wreck a crucial source of financial support for their communities
A Finance Ministry official appeared at a Knesset panel last month to deliver a grave warning. Israel will be sanctioned, she said, and could even lose its status as a member of the OECD, if it fails to uphold a financial information-sharing treaty it has signed with governments around the world.
"The secretary-general of the OECD has sent personal letters to the finance minister and the prime minister saying that Israel is not complying with our commitments under the Common Reporting Standard," Finance Ministry official Frida Israeli told the Knesset Finance Committee on June 25.
In the wake of the September 11, 2001, attacks and whistleblower revelations about secret Swiss bank accounts, the United States and other OECD countries began to crack down on international tax havens and money laundering. As a result, the United States enacted FATCA in 2010, a law requiring other countries to report bank accounts held by American citizens abroad. The OECD followed suit with the Common Reporting Standard in 2014, requiring that the treaty's 109 signatory countries exchange financial information about each others' citizens. Israel has signed on to the CRS but has yet to pass into law the regulations allowing it to implement it. The main sticking point preventing passage of the regulations is gemachim, or ultra Orthodox free-loan societies.

A gemach is a free-loan society run by volunteers that allows members of the community to deposit money and and others to receive loans interest-free. There are thousands of such free-loan societies in Israel's one-million strong ultra-Orthodox, or Haredi, community, with total deposits estimated by one economist to be between NIS 5 billion ($1.4 billion) and tens of billions of shekels.
Finance Committee chairman Moshe Gafni (United Torah Judaism) refuses to pass the CRS regulations without a promise that the activity of gemachim will be largely exempt from oversight. Under FATCA rules, Israeli banks have been demanding information about American depositors into gemachim that the gemachim cannot or will not provide, and many Israeli gemachim have had their bank accounts closed.
Israel's anti-money laundering authority has warned that gemachim must be regulated because many are being used to evade taxes and for money laundering. But Gafni is adamant that they be regulated with a very light touch lest the fabric of this important Haredi social and cultural institution be torn.
Gafni's spokesman told The Times of Israel in May that he found the CRS problematic after many Haredim were burned by the FATCA rules.
But several experts on the economy of the ultra-Orthodox community say that gemachim, even though they are nonprofit organizations, have become a multibillion dollar Israeli industry that poses unknown risks to the economy if it remains unmonitored and unregulated.
'A broken fence calls out to a thief'
On July 23, 2009, the FBI arrested 44 people across New Jersey and Brooklyn in an international money laundering sting. Among those arrested were mayors of several New Jersey towns as well as five rabbis from Brooklyn and New Jersey.
The rabbis had been operating an international money laundering scheme that involved accepting tax-deductible donations to a gemach in the United States; taking a fee, usually 10 percent; then returning the remaining 90 percent of the donation to the donor, in cash. According to reports in the media, the cash for this scheme often came from Israel, where money laundering laws, until recently, were lax.
A detailed account of the FBI investigation appears in the 2011 book "The Jersey Sting: True Story of Crooked Pols, Money-Laundering Rabbis, Black Market Kidneys, and the Informant Who Brought It All Down" by Ted Sherman and Josh Margolin.
In one scene in the book, an Orthodox Jewish FBI informant meets a man named Levi Deutsch from Israel who suggests that he and the informant go into the money laundering business together.
Deutsch explains that when he gets money from a client, he opens several gemachim in the United States and puts a little bit of the money in each, so that no one transaction looks suspicious. He takes a commission of several percentage points on each deposit. Deutsch tells the informant that it's not illegal to do such things in Israel.
"What if I put in one million dollars?" the informant asks.
"I could give it back cash to you," Deutsch replies, explaining that he has people in the United States and people with money in Swiss banks who are part of his international network.
"You could handle one million dollars a month, no problem?" the informant asks. "Yes," Deutsch replies.
Several experts told The Times of Israel that such blatant money laundering through gemachim is less prevalent than it was ten years ago as a consequence of anti-money laundering measures taken by the Israeli government, but that it still exists.
"There has been a lot of government pressure on the informal Haredi economy," Neri Horowitz, a scholar of Haredi society, told The Times of Israel.
"The police recently got together with the state prosecutor and the Finance Ministry and drew up a strategic plan in which they decided to crack down on black money in the Haredi sector. They did it quietly. Every money service provider now has to report transactions over a certain amount, and banks in Haredi neighborhoods are being monitored more closely. It has become illegal to buy apartments in cash. And it's much harder to carry suitcases of cash through customs."
The reason for this crackdown, said Horowitz, is American pressure. Last year, at the behest of the FBI, a Haredi money laundering ring of about 20 people was arrested in Israel for allegedly laundering money for South American drug cartels. Two years ago, The Times of Israel was told, FBI agents paid a visit to Israel specifically to express their concerns about money laundering in the Haredi community.
"The way it works," said Horowitz, "is a Colombian drug merchant comes to Monsey or Kiryas Yoel [towns in New York]. Let's say he sold 4 million dollars worth of cocaine in the Bronx. He hands over the cash, and his contact puts it in a gemach. Everyone takes a cut and they return the money through a legal project like the construction of a new building."
Ari Weisbrot, a New York-based lawyer who represents victims of fraud, told The Times of Israel that only a tiny minority of the Orthodox community engages in such crimes.
"Anecdotally I would say there is a lot more legitimate giving of charity in the Haredi community, but ironically some of these charities are the easiest places to hide money, especially in Israel, where books or records in the Haredi community are nonexistent or unreliable."
"A broken fence calls out to a thief," added a Haredi economist, who spoke to The Times of Israel on condition of anonymity due to the unpopularity of his opinion among the Haredi community. The economist cited this Talmudic phrase to make the point that even gemachim, which he views as the noblest of charities, can be abused if they are not regulated.
"When you have thousands of gemachim with deposits of billions of shekels and they are essentially unregulated, lots of things could go wrong," he said.
Weisbrot said there are two reasons why criminals might like to launder money through the Haredi community in Israel.
"First of all, the reporting and tax obligations are much stricter in the United States than abroad.
"Second of all, let's say I rob a bank and steal $1 million. I could use the money to buy a house in Florida but someone might trace the money to me. But if I buy an apartment in Jerusalem, that's harder to track. If I then sell the apartment and buy several pizza parlors in Moscow and then sell those, eventually the trail will go cold. The money is further from where it started out and the money trail is more likely to disappear."
The informal Haredi economy
Most of the experts The Times of Israel spoke to believe that money from foreign depositors is probably not the bulk of money in Israeli gemachim and that most gemachim are not, at least knowingly, laundering criminal money.
Rather, gemachim function as banks for the Haredi cash economy. If you're not declaring income to the tax authorities, you might prefer to put it in a gemach than a bank.
Dr. Eitan Regev, an economist with the Israel Democracy Institute, believes that the network of thousands of gemachim stands between many Haredi families and destitution.
In a 2014 study he conducted for the Taub Center, Regev examined how Israeli families make ends meet. He found that all but the top 20 percent of families in terms of income were consistently spending more than they earned, month after month. Since such a situation is not sustainable in the long term, he offered two possible explanations for this finding: Either many of his study's respondents had secret, undeclared sources of income, or they were rapidly spending their and their families' savings.
In the Haredi community, Regev found, the overspending phenomenon was far more pronounced than among non-Haredi Jews, Christians, Druze and Muslims.
"When you look at income minus expenditures, the average Haredi family was 3,200 shekels in the red per month."
This 3,200 ($880) monthly deficit can partly be explained, said Regev, by the fact that there is a large cash economy in the Haredi world, with people exchanging goods and services like house repairs, clothing sales, and even education off the books.
"Many educators in Haredi schools receive an NIS 6,000 salary on the books and then an extra NIS 3,000 or so in cash," Horowitz told The Times of Israel.
But the other reason Haredi families can spend more than they earn, Regev believes, is the gemachim.
"In 1979, 84 percent of Haredim worked for a living. Parents put aside money for a rainy day or for when their kids got married. Savings were larger then. But among the Haredim coming of age today, many of their parents were Torah scholars and don't have a lot of savings. We're seeing a decade of transition where young people are being pushed into the labor market and academic studies to make ends meet."
Today, only 50 percent of Haredi men work full-time.
Nevertheless, young Haredim have been buying apartments at rates significantly higher than those the general population. How do they do this?
"In the early 2000s, many Haredi parents could still help with cost of an apartment," said Regev. "A decade later all of the financing comes from loans."
What happens, said Regev, is the parents of a young bride- or groom-to-be come to a gemach.
"They raise about NIS 200,000 and then take that money to a bank and use it as a down payment for a mortgage on a cheap apartment in the north or south of the country or in Judea and Samaria."
"It's 100 percent leverage, everything is borrowed, similar to the NINJA loans extended to borrowers in the United States that precipitated the 2008 financial crisis."
Regev is worried that many Haredi families are on the verge of financial crisis but stave off ruin by borrowing from one gemach to pay off their loan to another gemach. He is worried that this house of cards could collapse at any time.
"This is something we're studying at the Israel Democracy Institute," said Regev. "We want to understand the scale of economic distress in Haredi society. How many people are at or on the verge of bankruptcy or losing their apartment and what are the ramifications?"
Can 'gemachim' exist if they are regulated?
But why do people deposit money in gemachim for others to borrow?
For many, said Regev, it's a mitzvah, a way to help the needy in their community.
But for an unknown number of others, gemachim are a good place to keep undeclared income. For those individuals, regulating gemachim would make them less likely to deposit, and, this, said Regev, is something that worries people in the Haredi community.
"Even if all the gemachim are honest, regulation might cripple their ability to raise more funds because some donors might be put off."
Advocates of gemachim see them as not just economic institutions, but as communal and religious ones as well.
"The privatization and reduction of social and public services in recent decades has created a vacuum with regards to welfare services to citizens, and this vacuum has been filled by the third sector [nonprofits] and to a large extent by gemachim," MK Gafni told the Knesset Finance Committee last year.
"Even if we want to regulate them, we must not under any circumstances detract from this very important social project of communal mutual responsibility. We do not have a Jewish state if we are not responsible for each other," Gafni said.
Some in the Haredi community warn that regulation could cause the entire institution of gemachim to collapse.
Tel Aviv University Law Professor Yoram Margaliot, an advocate of extremely light regulation for gemachim, has written that "Gemachim are philanthropic institutions. They must be treated differently from banks or money service providers which are financial institutions."
Without this gentle treatment, Margaliot has warned, "regulation could cause the collapse of the institution whose stability it is meant to protect."
"The Haredim are right in a sense," said Neri Horowitz. "If they are regulated as nonprofit organizations or financial institutions, they won't be able to continue to exist. On the other hand, the government is right that this is a huge source of economic irregularity."
Asked who would win in the end, MK Gafni or the Israeli Justice and Finance ministries, Horowitz replied: "It depends on the Americans, among others. If there is pressure from the US government, that is stronger than Gafni.
"If it's an election year and no one wants to anger [Gafni], he might receive an interim arrangement," allowed Horowitz. "But if the United States or the OECD put their foot down, Gafni will have to capitulate."

CEDAR RAPIDS — A Marion man pleaded Thursday to a lesser charge in the fatal shooting of an 18-year-old woman in 2018 in southwest Cedar Rapids.
Kyler Junkins, 20, originally charged with first-degree murder and first-degree burglary, pleaded in Linn County District Court to second-degree murder.
He admitted to fatally shooting AnnaElise Edgeton, a 2015 Metro High graduate and a certified nursing assistant, on Jan. 13 in her home at the Shamrock Apartments, 316 Jacolyn Dr. SW.
He also admitted he had intent to cause her death.
Edgeton's parents and several family members attended the hearing Thursday. They declined to comment after the hearing. Junkins also had family or friends in the courtroom.
A search warrant unsealed last year showed the apartment where Edgeton lived with her husband, John Maskewit-Edgeton, appeared to have been broken into when police found Edgeton dead on the living room floor with a gunshot wound to her upper chest.
Edgeton's parents told police their son-in-law was a drug dealer and they felt his drug activities contributed to their daughter's death, court documents showed.
Maskewit-Edgeton admitted to investigators he dealt drugs and also used marijuana and Xanax.
Investigators asked him who he thought had killed his wife. He told police about two incidents — one where someone broke into their apartment, beating him and robbing him, and another where a man had punched his wife. Both happened several months before the shooting and neither involved Junkins, according to court documents.
On Jan. 13, Emily Edgeton, Maskewit-Edgeton's sister, and her boyfriend, Conner Nye, told investigators many people knew about Maskewit-Edgeton's drug business from his social media posts, court documents showed. It also was known he kept money and drugs at the Jacolyn Drive home.
Investigators, in the court documents, interviewed another man who said Junkins made comments about robbing Maskewit-Edgeton and shooting a woman during the robbery.
Investigators found photos of Junkins under the name "Gucci Garcia" on Facebook that showed him with two handguns. They also found several photos of him holding a handgun on Instagram under the name "Kyler Garcia."
Allen W. Miller, 18, of Marion, and two unnamed juveniles — a 16-year-old female and 17-year-old male — also have been charged in the fatal shooting. Each were charged with conspiracy to commit a forcible felony and accessory after the fact. Miller's trial is set for July 7.
During the Thursday hearing, 6th Judicial District Chief Judge Patrick Grady said Junkins waived his right to appeal as part of the plea agreement.
Junkins faces up to 50 years in prison and must serve 35 years before being eligible for parole, Grady said. This sentence will run consecutively to the 12-year sentence Junkins is serving on federal firearm and drug charges, also as part of the plea agreement.
Junkins also faces a pending burglary charge, which he plans to plead to, and that sentencing will run concurrently to the murder charge.
Grady ordered Junkins to pay $150,000 in restitution to Edgeton's estate or her heirs.
Sentencing is set for Aug. 2.
Junkins pleaded guilty last July in U.S. District Court to one count each of possession of a firearm by a drug user and distribution of cocaine.
In the federal case, a 17-year-old was at Junkins' residence on Apache Drive in Marion on March 28, 2017, when Junkins fired a .22-caliber rifle, hitting the teen in the abdomen, according to the plea agreement.
Junkins admitted to "accidentally" shooting the teen and led investigators to the rifle he had hidden under a neighbor's shed.
He also admitted to distributing cocaine on Jan. 15, 2018, according to the plea. The next day, Junkins went to the Marion Police Department for questioning and was arrested.
He told investigators he had three firearms at his Apache Drive home — a .22-caliber rifle with an obliterated serial number and the stock sawed off, a .22-caliber revolver and another rifle — that were seized by police.
An Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives agent examined the .22-caliber rifle used in the shooting and determined it had been modified with a silencer.

Neapolitan ice cream, in some cases referred to as buffoon gelato, is a taste made up of three separate blocks of vanilla, chocolate, as well as strawberry ice cream set up alongside in the very same container, typically with no packaging in between.
Neapolitan ice cream was called in the late 19th century as a reflection of its presumed origins in the food of the Italian city of Naples, as well as the lots of Neapolitan immigrants who brought their know-how in desserts with them to the USA. Spumone was presented to the United States in the 1870s as Neapolitan-style gelato. Early recipes made use of a selection of flavors; however, the number of 3 molded with each other was a common measure, to resemble the Italian flag (cf. insalata tricolore). Greater than likely, delicious chocolate, vanilla, as well as strawberry became the criterion because they were the most preferred flavors in the USA at the time of introduction.
It is the first kind of ice cream to incorporate 3 flavors. The initial recorded recipe was developed by head cook of the royal Prussian home Louis Ferdinand Jungius in 1839, who committed the recipe to Fürst Pückler.
Quotes from food historians
Jenifer Harvey Lang, in Larousse Gastronomique: "Cosmopolitan piece. A piece of ice-cream cake made with mousse mixture as well as ordinary ice cream, presented in a little pleated paper instance. Neapolitan ice cream is composed of 3 layers, each of a various colour as well as flavour (chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla), molded into a block and also reduce into slices. Neapolitan ice-cream makers were renowned in Paris at the beginning of the 19th century, specifically Tortoni, creator of many ice-cream cakes."
John F. Mariani, in The Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink: "Eighteenth century … confectioners' stores [were] very commonly run by Italians. As a result gelato were frequently called 'Italian ice creams' or 'Neapolitan gelato' throughout the nineteenth century, as well as the purveying of such confections came to be connected with Italian immigrants."
Stuart Berg Flexner, in I Listen To America Chatting: "Neapolitan gelato, various flavoured layers iced up with each other … [was] being initially being discussed in the 1870s."
A social reference from The New york city Times in 1887: "… in an outfit of pink and also white stripes, strongly looking like Neapolitan gelato."
19th-century summaries
1885– "Neapolitan box" (A. B. Marshall, The Book of Ices).
" You must have a Neapolitan box for this ice as well as load it up in 3 or 4 layers with different coloured as well as flavoured gelato (a water ice may be made use of with the custards); as an example, lemon, vanilla, delicious chocolate and pistachio. Mould in the license ice cave for regarding 1 1/2 to 2 hours, transform it out, reduced it in pieces, and also organize neatly on the dish, on a napkin or dish-paper.".
1894– "Neapolitan Icey Cones" (Lizzie Heritage, Cassell's New Universal Culinary Book).
" These are prepared by putting ices of numerous kinds and also colors into a mold and mildew called a Neapolitan ice box, which, when established as well as turned out, is reduced right into pieces ideal for offering. However little the pieces, the block needs to be cut so that each individual gets several of each kind. They are typically laid on a shoelace paper on an ice plate. Four or 5 kinds are typically placed in the mold and mildew, though 3 sorts will do. The adhering to will certainly act as a guide in organizing: First, vanilla cream, after that raspberry or cherry or currant water; coffee or chocolate in the middle; the strawberry cream, with lemon or orange or pineapple water to finish. A cream ice seasoned with any type of liqueur, a brown bread cream flavored with brandy, with a number of bright-colored water ices, develop an additional acceptable combination. Tea cream might be introduced right into almost any combination unless coffee were made use of. Banana cream, pistachio, or almond cream with cherry water and damson or strawberry water are other alternatives.
" The Neapolitan Ice Spoon has a dual use; ice bowl is for placing the mix right into the mold, as well as the deal with is for leveling it. Packages might be made of tin, which is cheaper than pewter. They are typically marketed tiny enough to make single ices, yet these are much a lot more troublesome to prepare. After loading the molds, if there is no cavern, 'bed' the ice in the normal means.".
In Australia there is a preferred cake called Neapolitan cake or marble cake, made with the same three colors of Neapolitan ice cream swirled through in a marble pattern, generally topped with pink topping.
Background of Neapolitan Ice Cream
Background of gelato has actually forged the tales of several well-known gelato dishes, however one of one of the most popular originated from Italy. As a home of the contemporary gelato background and cultural facility into which every renaissance trading route between renaissance Europe as well as far-off Asia, Italian chefs were the initial one who saw the possibility of gelato. As centuries went as well as fashion transformed, they were generally the one who charted new means of gelato manufacturing, new technical innovations in the area of refrigeration and also brand-new dishes of making ever before extra classy as well as exciting gelato dishes.
After Gelato conquered Italy and Europe in between 15th and 18th century, style modifications of 19th century brought the challenging task to Italian ice cream manufacturers– how to reinvent gelato right into entirely new form variable. Their remedy was easy one – develop one gelato which will integrate several tastes in one single and very easy to produce, transportation, and serve plan. Their innovation was Neapolitan gelato, which received much interest after it was released to public in early 19th century, most notably by Italian gelato maker called Giuseppe Tortoni who lived in Paris.
Neapolitan ice cream is made in type of one block, which is separated into 3 distinct tastes– most commonly vanilla, delicious chocolate and strawberry. Off training course, lots of variation exists and also several more toppings and also flavors can be introduced to the recipe. Due to its heavyset form and capacity to travel far while being frozen, Italian immigrants quickly brought this cool treat to United States, where they presented it as Spumoni in 1870s. With remarkable popularity and also plenty of variation in dishes, Neapolitan gelato really swiftly dominated whole globe, making it possible for many cook to not only utilize it in ice cream dishes, however likewise as one of one of the most sought ice cake component.
Today, Neapolitan ice cream is primarily created in commercial production facilities, with some adjustments flavors (cherry as opposed to strawberry being one of the most usual) as well as ice cake recipes.

Steve Tebon wants to know if you've "got your game on." It's easy — just read the book. Game On: The Power of the Sports Marketing Deal (Tebon Publishing), is for entrepreneurs, business executives, athletes and those who practice or study the business of sports.
As Tebon points out, the first step for anyone is to find your target market and be creative. For example, ask somebody about sports marketing and they'll tell you it's all about the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and major college sports. But not Tebon. He quickly realized there was a niche out there that offered big opportunities for a young entrepreneur.
"Recreational sports, lifestyle sports. The grassroots, participant market is the fastest growing and potentially biggest market out there," he says. At some point, virtually everybody will shoot hoops, spike a volleyball, hop on a bike or lace up a pair of running shoes. Tebon shows his clients how to pursue this virtually untapped revenue stream, and now he's sharing it with his readers.
You may not have given it much thought, but just how did that race to benefit a local charity happen? Who's behind last month's hugely popular beach volleyball tournament? There's a good chance it's Exclusive Sports Marketing or a company like it. It takes a specific skill set to create, promote and run successful events, and Tebon knows those skills inside and out.
A diehard recreational athlete, and 7-time Ironman finisher, Tebon has studied the industry intensely. Like many other experts, he's bullish on the growth of grassroots sports. "The U.S. is experiencing a serious health crisis, and events like running, biking, and competing in triathlons are playing a huge role in helping people get back into shape, and focusing on a healthy lifestyle for them and their families."
The keys to making sporting events and business in general profitable are easily understood through the informal and helpful pages of Game On. One of these is strategic alliances. Before Tebon sold his multi-million dollar business, Exclusive Sports Marketing developed long standing sponsor partnerships with industry giants such as Anheuser-Busch, Nike, Coca-Cola, Pepsico, Gatorade, Nestle's Brands, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines and Club Med.
Tebon's strategies for closing the deal are clearly laid out in Game On: The Power of the Sports Marketing Deal. Creating and maintaining relationships is one important aspect. Providing "5-Star" Customer Service is another. Using these techniques and more, Tebon connected influential businesses with the audiences they targeted at more than thirty events every year, such as The Publix Family Fitness Weekend/Sprint Triathlon Series, The Bud Light Beach Volleyball Series, The Toyota Tundra Adventure Racing Series, and the Ft. Lauderdale A1A Marathon and ½ Marathon, just to name a few.
After selling Exclusive Sports Marketing in 2006, Tebon has been working as a consultant to the growing business of recreational sports marketing. His consulting services also include event/ athlete management, development of strategic programming and the creation of print and electronic marketing strategies. He will also be teaching a Sports Management course using Game On as the text, at Lynn University, (Boca Raton, FL), beginning with the Spring 2012 semester.

Financial giant SBI Group has made a second investment in LastRoots, a Tokyo-based exchange established in 2016. The undisclosed investment, made through financial subsidy SBI Holdings, is the group's second within the space of a year, and comes just a month after the launch of the group's own exchange, SBI Virtual Currencies.
LastRoots, which is currently in the process of applying for an operating license from the regulatory Financial Services Agency (FSA), was slapped with a business improvement order in April this year, with the FSA expressing concern about the exchange's security and management measures.
However, SBI has said it will provide LastRoots with support staff that will help bolster security networks and help shore up anti-money laundering systems – in the hope that this measure will help LastRoots meet the FSA's terms.
SBI has been spending big on its cryptocurrency-related businesses of late, with a massive investment in a Taiwanese blockchain startup in May, followed by the purchase of a 12% stake in American platform Clear Markets earlier this month.
SBI's CEO has previously vowed that SBI Virtual Currencies would become Japan's market leader "in the blink of an eye." The group also plans to co-launch a blockchain technology-powered payments and transfer service before the end of this year through its internet banking arm.

The Enchantment of the 60's Idealism
Idealism that will one day win out!
Pappa was a Democrat and Daddy a Republican like most of the adults in the family. One of the highlights for me at a typical holiday gathering would be listening to them engage in passionate and heated conversations about the issues of the day. Pappa's "Serbo-Croato-Slovenian" dialect (his home country was Yugoslavia) was an equal match for the underlying German tone that was detected in Daddy's northern accent when their opinions collided into a wall of immovable conviction. Each endeavored to convey their point of view about what was best for a society by backing up allegiance to their thoughts with actual facts. Both sides were persuasive and contained merit. On many counts they accepted one another's stance with genuine respect often times winning the other to their case.
I'd sit quietly and listen always pondering, ever masticating the context of their words like a cow chewing cud in order to determine for myself whose side won the argument. At the end of the day neither won. It was not a contest for who was right and who was wrong, but how they could integrate one another's thoughts into their own ideologies. They were always best of friends who worked side by side on the combined 160 acres of farmland that the two families possessed. Watching and listening to them I learn that people can hold and share differing principles about life and they can actually live cohesively without condemning, judging, or lying about the other because they think differently.
America was a much different place then; it was the 60's. The same theme was in the minds of society then as it is today; inequality at all ends of the spectrum but debated with much less hostility. Daddy would often make the statement after a discouraging set back on the farm, "the rich keep getting richer while the poor get poorer." At times we'd hear comments that eluded to religious hypocrisy but the prominent scourge on the human consciousness then was racial prejudice, a terrible stain in the soul of those who were obsessed with it.
Some 45-50 years later what I learned from those days is that somewhere in between all the creeds and dogmas of faith and politics lies a beautiful place of human compassion and the ability to relate to one another on the same level. It's that "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" thing. When we see someone we love in trouble, we generally do what we can to aid in making life better. Most likely there is a majority that have a genuine love for the people of the United States and long to see better days. So many in our country are caught in the crossfire of corporate manipulation and greed, religious paroxysm and zeal, and political indignation for many of our beloved citizens—sectors that our legislators believe do not measure up to their own abhorrent standard of life, in their eyes disqualifying them from the blessings of liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Who can look at the condition of America and not see that our internal struggles are becoming extremely detrimental to the welfare of our society? Haven't we all watched the light in our Statue of Liberty fade, with the evidence that our own policies are destroying lives not only in America but across the world? We are becoming like those we have been battling for decades, and our lip service of human rights is belied by our actions of torture and hypocritical policies of "stand your ground" and unrestrictive gun laws. Cultural terrorism, violence, hatred, and the like permeate our states and metropolitan cities. Laws are no longer of government but rather are of persons—those who pay to escape prosecution, bringing no justice for their victims. We do not do what we say. Our light is going out. But there remains a spark!
Humanity is beautiful, and God's creation is glorious! The resilience in the soul of mankind (and those in our animal family) is a constant reminder that there is hope for the masses who are faced with seemingly insurmountable life circumstances in the midst of today's tumultuous American climate. With that hope comes a challenge for those who are in a position to forge a new vision, present that vision, and then lend a hand to help others move to a better place in life.
A return to the enchantment of the 60's would bring a refreshing wave of expectation and purpose many long for. That magical "something" that was in the hearts of the young during those days was real. The lyrics in the songs that spoke of love and freedom , the display of honest and sincere rebellion to the narrow minded pursuits of the day, and the activism that elicited the longing in the hearts of many that didn't have the courage to join such a movement, caused many to silently rally the courageous onward.
Such a movement is in the making. It's on the horizon. Can you see it? Can you feel it? Will you join it?

The stock market has been on the rise amid a slew of share buybacks driven by the newly passed tax cuts.
That's the assessment from TheStreet's founder and Action Alerts PLUS Portfolio Manager Jim Cramer.
"I think one of the reasons the market is up is that as much as people thought a lot of the money was going to go to CAPEX from the tax code changes, it is going to buybacks," Cramer said. "If you do buybacks, it puts a floor to the market.
Apple's (AAPL) CFO told Cramer last week that there are government limits on how much the company can buyback its own stock.

by Celeste Vandermillen – The Seventh Annual Festival of One-Act Plays is right around the corner! Since before winter break, GDRHS Drama Guild students have been rehearsing and preparing for a one-act play chosen by their grade's student director. Each grade has been rehearsing several times per week in addition to the two weeks of tech rehearsals leading up to the performances. These weeks of hard work all cumulate in a final competition between the grades: each class performs a different play, and a group of judges is brought in to select a winner. Aside from the all-important "Best Play" award are more specific awards given to outstanding directors, actors, costume designers, and several others.
Over 60 students signed up earlier this year to direct, act, or work on the tech crew of their grade's show. This year's student directors are Megan Fitzpatrick (Class of 2019), Zarah Durst (Class of 2018), Callum McLaughlin and Hannah Young (Class of 2017), and Jackie Coy and Emily Olson (Class of 2016). Come and see great performances from GDRHS students and support your favorite class!
Performances will be in the Black Box on February 5th at 7 P.M. and February 6th at 2 and 7 P.M. Tickets are $10 for students and seniors and $12 for adults. Hope to see you there!

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban said Thursday that his biggest holding is in e-commerce giant Amazon followed by the streaming titan Netflix.
"Just because of their growth," Cuban said at The New York Times DealBook Conference. "I've had them for a long time. I don't switch things around. I don't move it around a lot."
Amazon, which has been disrupting several industries recently, is up more than 48 percent this year, according to FactSet. Netflix has risen more than 50 percent this year, and last month said it added 5.3 million net subscribers in its past quarter.
Cuban has previously proclaimed his fondness for Amazon before. In an interview with CNBC earlier this year, he said he thinks the online retail giant "is the greatest company in the world."
When asked about other investments he's made, Cuban said, "cash, Treasurys, municipalities ... stuff that I've had forever" and private companies "because I really try to support entrepreneurs."
"I'm the luckiest guy in the world," Cuban added. "All I got to do is not f--- it up."
Disclosure: CNBC owns the exclusive off-network cable rights to "Shark Tank," which features Mark Cuban as a panelist.

The Eleanor Roosevelt Papers, Digital Edition > My Day
WASHINGTON, Sunday—Yesterday promised to be a peaceful day, but I forgot that I had been away Saturday and not one, but two baskets of mail awaited my return.
However, even though I had taken Saturday off, I felt I must be free one day in the week in the White House, so I deliberately spent some time showing the children around the house after lunch, and talking with various friends. In between, I read through innumerable letters. My tea guests stayed until 7:00 o'clock and I was barely ready to welcome other guests who came to supper.
After supper we had "The March of Time" and a light newsreel, which the President seemed to enjoy. At 9:20, I left to go on the radio with Mr. Bill Stern for three minutes. It was an interesting opportunity to meet him and it was an added pleasure to find both his wife and mother in the studio. I suppose, just because I am so poor at all sports, I have a great admiration for those who excel in sports and who know a great deal about them.
This morning I went to Mrs. Townsend's musicale and enjoyed hearing Mr. Emanuel Feuerman and Mr. Rudolph Serkin. Mrs. Claude Wickard, the wife of the Secretary of Agriculture, and I drove straight to the Shoreham Hotel to lunch with Mrs. Jesse Jones, wife of the Secretary of Commerce, who gave a charming party for me. From there I went with Mrs. Morgenthau to the house warming in the new house just opened by the Washington Self-Help Exchange Inc.
This house stands by itself, quite back from the street and is admirably fitted to be a home for single men. There is ample room downstairs for lounging and office work, as well as a kitchen and dining room. Forty-seven men can be housed on the second and third floors. The building has been completely rehabilitated by the men themselves.
They learned how to scrape and refinish floors. They painted everything. They recovered chairs and hung curtains. Not one new thing was bought for this whole house and yet it is simple and attractive in its furnishings. This is a temporary home for lonely men and they pay for their room and board in script, which they earn in the shops. At the same time they do work which will help them to obtain jobs, which may be enough to put many of them back on their feet as self-supporting human beings.
They had at the house an exhibition of the work done at the exchange shops which are, of course, in another building. They have a baby dress made from the material which architects use in their drawings, and a very nice baby dress it was. There were also many loaves of bread from their bakery and much reconstructed furniture.
Back at the White House I received the Ambassador of Panama and Senora Brin, and the Ambassador of Chile and Senora Michels. This evening we have a number of people coming to dinner with us informally.

Most Paladin readers know Ragnar Benson as a survivalist, a powder monkey, a trapper, a hunter and a dispenser of survival medicine, but how many know that he has been involved in the PI business for more than 25 years?

Then he turns the tables on his fellow investigators and gives potential witnesses specific tips for avoiding or at least surviving the tactics, techniques and tricks favored by skilled investigators. Whether you want to be an investigator or avoid one, you won't want to miss this book. Ragnar Benson is America's most-esteemed survival expert.

Laia is a slave. Elias is a soldier. Neither is free. Under the Martial Empire, defiance is met with death. Those who do not vow their blood and bodies to the Emperor risk the execution of their loved ones and the destruction of all they hold dear.
It is in this brutal world, inspired by ancient Rome, that Laia lives with her grandparents and older brother. The family ekes out an existence in the Empire's impoverished backstreets. They do not challenge the Empire. They've seen what happens to those who do. But when Laia's brother is arrested for treason, Laia is forced to make a decision. In exchange for help from rebels who promise to rescue her brother, she will risk her life to spy for them from within the Empire's greatest military academy.
There, Laia meets Elias, the school's finest soldier—and secretly, its most unwilling. Elias wants only to be free of the tyranny he's being trained to enforce. He and Laia will soon realize that their destinies are intertwined—and that their choices will change the fate of the Empire itself.
Pakistani-American author Sabaa Tahir became an instant success as her debut novel "An Ember in the Ashes" became a bestseller seemingly overnight. This is the first novel in a quartet set against a fantasy backdrop inspired by the Roman Empire. The plot follows the intertwined fates of Laia, a Scholar (member of the oppressed class) tasked with the dangerous job of spying for the Resistance and Elias, a reluctant soldier and illegitimate son of a tyrant.
The Martial Empire is oppressive, dark and brutal in its machinations and the author does a good job in portraying its bleakness. As the novel progresses amidst constant political scheming and rebellion, so does the development between the two main characters, Laia and Elias. The dual narrative explores and gives life to the supporting characters, all of which paints a rich world of the Martial Empire.
The strong themes of political resistance, a play between freedom and loyalty as well as supernatural tendencies make this novel a gripping read but beware of the slow start to the novel. The cliff-hanger at the end will have you yearning to learn more about the fate of these characters and how they bring change about the empire. This is a must-read for fans of YA fantasy fiction!
Rating: 4/5
