Call Royal China Baker Street to make a booking on:
Despite the burnished golden walls, black and gold seat covers and opulent swooshes all over the menu, we reckon that the 200-seater flagship of the Royal China group is starting to look a bit tired – although it still has more personality that some outlying branches of the chain. Expect queues for daytime dim sum at the weekends, when the seasonal menu encompasses deep-fried minced squid balls, prawn dumplings with coriander, chicken's feet in Chinese rice wine, stuffed beancurd rolls and best-selling roast pork buns. In the evening (from 6pm), a hefty carte focuses on signature barbecued meats and crispy duck alongside competently rendered Cantonese standards including lemon chicken, stir-fried Dover sole with spicy salt, sautéed beer with oyster sauce and peasant-style hotpots (stewed pork belly with preserved cabbage, for example). A favourite for big parties.

Jan Owen
Judges' Comments
As Michael Hamburger wrote, Charles Baudelaire was the prototype of the modern poet. There are many translations of his single, immensely influential collection of verse, Les Fleurs du Mal (The Flowers of Evil). With Selected Poems from Les Fleurs du Mal, Jan Owen has made a distinctive contribution to the archive, offering versions that capture Baudelaire's formal rigour and direct diction.
Owen's choice of poems displays all the characteristics that have fascinated readers of the collection since 1857: a startling range of moods, exultant sensuality, steady attention to the negative, exquisite skill in song and storytelling, depth of thought. In these versions Baudelaire is very much alive, even as he dwells on decrepitude, death and decay. Jan Owen's translations rise to the challenge of rhyming while responding with care to the nuances of the prestigious originals.
Jan Owen's Selected Poems from Les Fleurs du Mal is a triumph of sensibility and skill. Although Baudelaire has been assiduously served by previous translators, Owen's work quickly dispels any doubts about its necessity. Poetry in English is certainly richer now that it includes her graceful and ingenious versions of such pieces as 'Correspondences', 'A Carcass', 'The Little Old Women' and 'The Voyage', which effected an aesthetic revolution in the mid-nineteenth century and have never ceased to fascinate. Owen has chosen the English iambic pentameter to render the French alexandrine, and her lines rhyme, like Baudelaire's. She writes in her preface: 'I have often settled for a sensible half-rhyme over an unconvincing full rhyme or inversion'. Her translations demonstrate the wisdom of this strategy: they are feats of exquisite balance, fine and striking poems in their own right, as well as responding with great care to the prestigious originals.

Chinese Health Therapy
Naturally, human body is organized in such a way that when we do the right thing at the right time, there will be no reason for us to get sick or get old before old age. To maintain a healthy living, we need to do the following:(1) Detoxify: We accumulate a lot of toxins through the air we breathe, the water we drink & the food we eat. Greenlife Detoxin tablet will assist our body system to get rid of toxins. It is an internal (cleanser & blood purifier, it transports oxygen to the brain. Detoxin cleanses the system of foreign substances, body waste product, toxins and free radiates that get into the body through inhalation of polluted air, food and vegetables planted with fertilizers and the use of herbicides, pesticides on plants, chemicals from orthodox drug and so on. Other internal detoxifiers are, herbal tea, and Haem Pill.
Our immune system is the body defense; it protects our body from foreign invader of pathogens. Greenlife Booster Drink is an immune booster. Low immunity can allow all kind of different diseases to invade our body system.(3) Achieve Micro Circulation:
Blood is life; it is the chief transporter in our body system. Blood transports oxygen and nutrients to the body tissues. Cholesterol/blood lips block the passage for blood in the blood vessels, the vein, arteries and capillaries. Lack of normal blood flow can cause a lot of heart diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, angina pectoris and end result CARDIAC ARREST. Use Greenlife's Danshen plus to achieve micro circulation (Blood Circulation at capillary Level). Different type of MASSAGERS will help you for normal blood circulation.
We need balance diet to keep healthy at cellular level. Because of the poor economic condition of our environment, busy schedule, or ignorance, we end up not taking what we need but taking what we can afford or what we want. The red and white blood cells renew its self every seven years, but due to lack of proper nutrients, they break down and this can result to formation of radical cells that destroys even the morel cells & this can result to a lot of malfunctions in the body system, abnormal growths such as lumps, fibroid, cancer and so on. To prevent a lot of diseases, we need to take the six classes of food at their proper proportion. The alkaline and acidic cantiest of our food intake is also important.
(5) Avoid Stress:

Drones Patrol Border - Gang Attack Leaves 8 Dead
Yucatan - When the gangsters came to collect the local "tax"
for protection, the owners of the bar in the seaside resort
town of Cancun turned them down.
Not long after, according to witnesses, they returned with
gasoline bombs and attacked the establishment in a deadly
assault that left 6 women and 2 men dead.
The Castillo del Mar was located in a low income area far
from the city's tourist zone. Though Quintana Roo State
Attorney General Francisco Alor said the cause of the blaze
is still under investigation, numerous eye witnesses told
news reporters they witnessed the attack.
The establishment offered table dances and other
attractions, according to the state attorney, who noted its
owners have had problems in the past. He did not specify
the nature of the troubles.
But it is well known that businesses throughout Mexico are
hit for protection money and when they refuse to pay, they
are attacked by the gangsters who demand the tax.
Though Cancun has been spared much of the violence that has
plagued larger cities on the smuggling routes in Sinaloa,
Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, Chihuahua and Sonora States, this is
definitely an example of the kind of violence that has led
to the loss of 28,000 lives over the past 4 years.
Meanwhile, U.S. officials announced the launch of a Predator
drone aircraft out of Corpus Christi to complete the aerial
surveillance of the border from Tijuana to Matomoros.
The unmanned aircraft are operated from air conditioned
trailers far away from their area of operations by pilots
who are qualified to fly much more elaborate aircraft.
Using such devices as night vision video and Forward Looking
Infrared (FLIR) cameras, the pilots and operators are able
to spot illegal immigrants and smugglers from 19,000 feet in
alitutude, then direct Blackhawk and Apache helicopters
laden with Homeland Security and National Guard operatives
to intercept their quarry.

Throughout Tanach, the heart is used as the seat of emotion. For instance:
- The heart understands (Melachim Aleph 3:9)
- Thought comes from the heart (this seems to be the straightforward understanding of verses like Koheles 1:16 that discuss speaking with the heart)
- The heart can view things prophetically (see Melachim Beis 5:26 and commentaries there)
- The heart falls (Shmuel Aleph 17:32)
- The heart gives endurance during times of crisis (Yechezkel 22:14)
- The heart rejoices (Tehillim 16:9)
- The heart cries (Eichah 2:18)
- The heart is comforted (Yeshaya 40:1-2)
- The heart is pained (Devarim 15:10)
This is an excerpt of Koheles Rabbah 1:38 (Warsaw numbering; 1:16 in Vilna numbering), which lists 58 such emotions and traits that come from the heart.
Scientifically, emotions and thoughts come from the brain. Rav Chaim Miller says that emotions come from the Ruach-level of the Neshamah. But either way, it doesn't come from the heart. So where do all of these descriptions come from?

I promised myself (and my family) that once I finished Buffalo Springs, I would take a break from training and be present. I would take time with them and time for myself. In the past three weeks, I enjoyed several games of Peanut (think Solitaire with teams) at 9:30 at night with my kids, I went to the library and checked out books that I am actually reading, and have been focusing more on my kids. Also, I went back to my Saturday morning running group. That was one of the things I really missed while half Ironman training. I enjoy the camaraderie of the group, and even though I don't get the chance to run with them all (some of them are really fast), it has been nice to catch up and meet some new members.
"Are you the one who did the triathlon?"
"Yes, that's me."
One of the main things I'm working on now is helping my kids. My oldest daughter is going to UT on a Navy ROTC scholarship in August. I'm running with her in the mornings to help her get the endurance she needs to have when she checks in. My 10 year old wants to run another 5k. So I have been going out with him in the evenings to get him running consistently. He's done a few 5ks in the past two years, but this is the first time he has shown sustained interest and reminds me what days and how far we need to run.
Last week, I took the three kids to the track so we could all stay together. Even the 13 year old who likes the idea of running until she actually does it, came along. It wasn't the storybook ending I would have liked to have that night, but at least I have some memories in pictures for when they're all grown up.
I made a deal with myself that I would keep my activity level to under an hour after the half Ironman. I wanted to give my body the rest it deserved before marathon training starts in August. I also wanted to finish taking off the weight I had put on the last two years. Up until last weekend, I stayed true to my promise of staying under an hour.
On Saturday, I ran just over an hour with the group, and then headed out with my daughter for 30 minutes to run/walk. The next morning, I went on a bike ride with my friend and her husband. She keeps asking me to go with her with the cycling group on Saturdays, and I keep telling her I don't want to be on my bike that long. Plus, it conflicts with the run group. But this time when she asked me to go ride, I relented because it was on Sunday morning and under two hours.
I didn't hate it.
But I'm going to try to keep the endurance bug in check for a few more weeks.
Last night when my son and I ran together, he told me he was moving slower so he could work on his stamina. We are up to a mile and a half. For a child who would rather play video games all summer, I think we're making great progress.
Now that I've talked a little about how I'm enjoying my downtime, tell me what's something you do?

External Relations Section (REX) - Related Opinions
A plan for a New Multilateral Matrix (NMM): proposed changes to ensure consistency between international trade, climate change and social rules and standards (own-initiative opinion)
The purpose of this opinion is twofold:
1. To make an inventory of all the concrete proposals made by EESC members during the current term of office concerning any form of coordination between the rule books of the UNCCC for climate change, the WTO for trade in goods, services and investments and subsidies, and the ILO for the main conventions, and in particular, decent work agenda;
2. To organise hearings in Brussels and Geneva of key people and consultations through an on‑line platform in order to articulate a set of practical proposals designed to bring about greater integration of economic, environmental and social rules.
Carbon markets: Emergence, structuring and challenges for European industry (own-initiative opinion)
The main questions to be addressed in the opinion are: what are the components of carbon markets, what are the challenges for the future and, finally, the challenges for EU industry? The opinion is expected to make a significant contribution to the current political debate within the framework of the European Green Deal.
A system of corporate liability for human rights abuses is currently being negotiated in the UN, within the UNHRC's open-ended intergovernmental working group on transnational corporations and other business enterprises concerning human rights (OEIGWG), established by the UN General Assembly on 26 June 2014. The mandate of the working group is to elaborate an international legally binding instrument to regulate, in international human rights law, the activities of transnational corporations and other business enterprises.
External aid, investment and trade as instruments to reduce the reasons of economic migration, with a special focus on Africa (own-initiative opinion)
When it comes to development and EU-Africa relations, the EESC consistently emphasised the importance of sustainable development and cooperation based on the rule of law and the respect for human rights. Initiatives focused on trade, investment and business relations with Africa could be welcomed, but not to the detriment of traditional development policies focusing on reaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). EU and Africa leaders agreed in 2015 at the Valletta summit on migration on setting up the EU Trust Fund for Africa (EUTF), as the main instrument of EU external migration policy. The Fund finances the development of border protection capacities, but also long-term development policy projects so as to decrease the likelihood of further migration.
The role of the EU's trade and investment policies in enhancing the EU's economic performance (own-initiative opinion)
International Trade and Tourism - A Global Agenda for Sustainable Development (own-initiative opinion)
10 years of Eastern Partnership: reflecting on achievements and shaping the future policy of the EaP
2019 is the year we are celebrating the ten-year anniversary of a real and living partnership – the Eastern Partnership (EaP). Over the last decade this partnership has gone through its share of difficulties. Yet, it not only endured - it developed, matured and delivered beyond what we foresaw at the beginning.
Thus after 10 years of EaP policy, it is crucial to properly evaluate the achievements and aims and reflect on the next possible steps. It is important to ensure that EaP policy connects countries and people and covers a broad area of issues, including supporting civil society, pluralism and independent media, as well as ensuring gender equality and non-discrimination. As it is likely that the policy will change its course from a one-size-fits-all to a tailor-made approach, it will be crucial to ensure that those wanting to get closer to the EU have this opportunity, adapted to their ambitions and pace.
Key points
The EESC considers there is no better moment in the history of European integration for the EU to lead the way by charting a new direction for peace-building worldwide.
The EESC presents The WhiteDoveWay, a metaphorical and physical route map pointing the way forward, focusing on conflict prevention, civil society involvement, and effective communication using education and information, and a European Path of Peace to physically engage citizens so they are included and empowered in the EU peace process.
The EESC calls for the new EU budget to devote greatly increased funds to conflict prevention in all EU external relations peace programmes.
The EESC strongly recommends greater involvement of civil society in the decision-making process.
The EESC calls for a serious communication effort to promote the role of education and information to deliver the EU peace-building story.
Key points:
The EESC considers the Joint Communication to be most timely. The world order is changing at its fastest rate for nearly thirty years, the post-war international trading order is under significant challenge, the balance of global economic power is moving eastwards and Asian global purchasing power is growing exponentially.
The EESC welcomes the emphasis in the Communication on sustainable, comprehensive and rules-based connectivity.

Hello, friends! Can you believe Christmas is just around the corner?!? I can't seriously can't wait. I know it can be a busy, hectic season, but every year I look forward to it! I have an annual Christmas dinner that I host each year, and I am so excited to share a peak at some of the decor I am working on. I decided to use traditional Christmas colors mixed with gold, and a few favorite supplies from Blitsy!
Easy Christmas Tree Shaker Card with Cheery Lynn Designs
3 Things To Make This Week With Blitsy - Week of December 14th
Simple DIY Holiday Frame Decor
Shop this Project
This holiday decor is the perfect fit as a party centerpiece, but would look great on your mantle too! Here's what you need to get started:
- American Crafts Holiday Details Tassels
- We R Memory Keepers Clearly Posh Thickers Alpha Stickers
- Gold Alphabet Thickers
- Pebbles Felt Holiday Banner
- 9"x9" Frame
- White cardstock
- Adhesive
- Paper Trimmer
Got your supplies ready? Okay, let's get crafting!
First, use your paper trimmer to trim your white cardstock to the size of your frame. My frame is 9"x9", but you can use any sized frame you have on hand.
Next, wrap your tissue-tassel and felt banner around the cardstock. Adhere it to the back using tape or a tape runner. Try to evenly space it out according to your frame size. My frame fit the tissue garland, and two rows of the circle felt banner on the top and bottom. Be creative, and do whatever you think looks good!
After adhere the banner pieces, embellish your frame with some holiday inspired words! I used the word "Happy" from my set of We R Memory Keepers Clearly Posh Thickers Alpha Stickers, and then spelled with word "Holidays" with gold alphabet Thickers.
No need to use adhesive, the Thickers are stickers and adhere great to the frame.
Once you are all done with your lettering, just insert inside your frame and enjoy!
I love how this turned out! Tissue-tassels are so fun, I love having them framed and on display.
Stay tuned for more holiday party inspired projects! I can't wait to make more projects for my party to go with this framed centerpiece. Holiday parties are my fave!

But we argue here that there are reasons for optimism: history tells us that times of emergency enable rapid change in ways that cannot be anticipated, and it's possible that these may play out in ways that will support an accelerated energy transition. So, can the industry start thinking ahead now, to what a post Covid-19 'new normal' could look like?
I spent 20 years in the old energy world of oil and gas. (I know – mea culpa. On the plus side I so far have 10 years in new energy, so only another 10 years to go before I am in credit...). During the first 20 years of my career, I experienced first-hand the critical role of banks and financial investors to fund projects or invest in infrastructure. It's hard to think of two worlds – oil and finance – that are more closely intertwined.
However, over the last 10 years, it's been apparent to me that investor interest in the new energy world is largely absent. Yes, there are clean tech investors, and some of these have even made decent returns, but the sector generally has not prospered. Indeed, for many people, it has a negative reputation.
OVO's 'Future of Energy' event at the Tate Modern on the South Bank in London was ostensibly about celebrating the company's 10 year anniversary – in which the company, founded by CEO Stephen Fitzpatrick, has grown to around 1.5 million.
With the announced acquisition of the SSE retail customer base of 3.5 million pending – subject to regulatory approval as Fitzpatrick was at pains to point out – OVO will become the second largest energy supplier in the UK with circa 5 million customers - quite a journey and something to be celebrated for sure. The company has relentlessly focused on customer service and experience, and its success in doing so shines through in its customer growth and the numerous customer service or industry awards it was won over the years.
Mostra MCE is a biennial trade fair in Milan covering heating, cooling, water and energy – while having a strong focus on the Italian market, it's a major international event. Maria Synodi from our Connected Home team and I had the opportunity to visit and we enjoyed meeting many of our subscribers and industry contacts there (and also escaping from the snow in Edinburgh!).
In this short blog we share some of the things we learnt, and hope you find it useful. As always, we welcome your feedback and questions so please feel free to contact us directly.
It's been a fascinating few days in Amsterdam at European Utility Week 2017 and it has been great to be able to talk to so many of our clients and friends in the industry, so we wanted to share some of takeaways from the event. In our view it remains the most important 'new energy' event in the European calendar and we are pleased to be associated with it as a Game Changing sponsor.
Best Presentation?
Customer data analytics enables 'mass personalisation'
I attended European Utility Week in Barcelona last week and one of my takeaways was the growing presence and visibility of companies developing data analytics solutions. It's confirmation of the trend we have seen for some time at Delta-ee, that customer data analytics is becoming an essential part of key business decisions and is fundamental to the way suppliers are changing the way they engage with their customers.

Severity of Stroke Risk in Atrial Fibrillation Does Not Correlate with the Use of Stroke Prophylaxis
1Northwestern University, Chicago, IL
Meeting: Hospital Medicine 2014, March 24-27, Las Vegas, Nev.
Abstract number: 71
An individual's risk of atrial fibrillation‐related stroke can be estimated with the use of a CHADS2 score with higher scores correlating with a greater risk of cardioembolic stroke. Current clinical guidelines recommend the use of no anticoagulation or antiplatelet agents for a CHADS2 score of 0 and either an antiplatelet agent or full dose anticoagulation for a score of 1. Patients with a score greater than 1 should receive full anticoagulation. This study assessed the rates of stroke prophylaxis at a large tertiary academic medical center and correlated the results with a CHADS2 score.
All patients discharged with a primary or any secondary diagnosis of atrial fibrillation were evaluated for the use of antiplatelet or antithrombotic medications which included warfarin, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban or aspirin. 16,106 patients discharged between 1/1/11 and 10/31/13 were included in this study. Each patient's CHADS2 score was also calculated. If patients were on an antiplatelet agent along with an antithrombotic agent, they were counted as having antithrombotic therapy. Patients who were exclusively on antiplatelet agents were counted in another category. The use of these medications within 48 hours of hospital discharge was used as a proxy measure for likely continuation of the agents upon discharge.
Please see that attached figures for results. Of all patients, those who received no antiplatelet or antithrombotic stroke prophylaxis based on CHADS2 score were as follows: 40.3% of patients with a score of 1, 38.8% of patients with as score of 2, 35.9% of patients with a score of 3, 36.8% of patients with a score of 4, 36% of patients with a score of 5, and 41.2% of patients with a score of 6.
The severity of CHADS2 score is known to correlate with stroke risk but those with higher CHADS2 score had no significantly greater proportion of stroke prophylaxis use than those with lower scores. Thus, objective stroke risk does not correlate with increased use of prophylaxis and a large percentage of patients at highest risk are given no prophylaxis of any kind. Current barriers to prophylaxis may be the lack of everyday use of objective risk tools, the expectation that treatment will be started on an outpatient basis or the lack of time needed for hospitalists to discuss the anticoagulation decision with patients. Systems reminders should be generated to encourage the use of risk stratification tools and hospitalists should start prophylaxis during hospitalization or communicate stroke risk on handoff to outpatient physicians at time of discharge.

Early transition metal poly(methimazolyl)borate complexes
Poly(methimazolyl)borates 'HxB(mt)4-x' (x = 1, 2; mt = methimazolyl) are a class of chelating ligands that present two or three 'soft' sulfur donors to a metal centre and as such are especially suited to the later 'soft' transition metals in low oxidation states. The question arises, therefore, as to whether these ligands might also bind effectively to early 'hard' transition metals in high oxidation states. We have begun to explore this possibility and whilst our initial efforts indicated that there were considerable synthetic hurdles associated with attendant redox, hydrolysis and ligand degradation processes, these have now been circumvented. The first examples of complexes of these ligands bound to titanium, zirconium, tantalum and niobium have now been successfully prepared with metals in high formal oxidations states III – V. Selected examples include (a) the first homoleptic titanium complex [Ti{HB(mt)3}2]+; (b) An alkyne complex of tantalum(III) in which the alkyne (red) binds in a chiral pocket [TaCl2(η2-PhC≡CPh){HB(mt)3}] and (c) A cyclooctatetraene complex of zirconium [ZrCl(η-C8H8){H2B(mt)2}] that is devoid of B–H–Zr interactions despite the metal being coordinatively unsaturated.

Today, Reps. Anna Eshoo (D-CA) and David McKinley (R-WV) introduced a bill that would require broadband conduit to be included in the construction of roads built with federal funding, a policy known as "Dig Once". The bill, Broadband Conduit Deployment Act of 2018, also known as "Dig Once," joins the bevy of broadband legislation that's come out in the past few days to accelerate the fiber deployment process.
Yesterday, three other bills aimed at speeding up the fiber deployment process were introduced. Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) filed the Streaming and Expediting Approval for Communications Technologies Act, which would decrease the time it takes to get permits and approvals to build broadband, especially in rural areas. He was followed by Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) with the Inventory of Assets for Communications Facilities Act to create a federal inventory of assets for broadband deployment, and Rep. Mimi Walters (R-CA) with the Communications Facilities Deployment on Federal Property Act, which would standardize some processes for broadband siting, including on federal property.
All four bills from yesterday and today will, if passed, make it easier to deploy fiber across the country which is crucial for consumers today, and to support the 5G networks of tomorrow. Based on our latest research, 50 million North American homes are passed by fiber, but the government can help improve the market conditions to bring better broadband to more people.
"This has been an excellent week for broadband infrastructure," said Heather Burnett Gold, President and CEO of the Fiber Broadband Association. "We are thrilled that these lawmakers are joining us in taking steps to accelerate the connected future and make fiber easier, faster, and more cost-effective to deploy."
The Fiber Broadband Association and its members applaud these hardworking representatives for introducing these broadband bills, and urge their Congressional colleagues to move forward quickly to make these bills into law.

At Ranga Shankara, all performances are ticketed and open to the public.
More than "A Play A Day" means we have over 400 performances a year in languages from across the city, across the country and across the world. Scores of theatre groups have taken birth in the city thanks to Ranga Shankara and watching theatre has become a habit for a large cross-section of the society. The monthly calendar at Ranga Shankara ensures that there is something for every theatre enthusiast. Catering to the signature cosmopolitan nature of Bangalore and the diversity of languages and age groups are the most enjoyable challenges we at Ranga Shankara and the troupes take on.
Our theatre festivals, the annual Ranga Shankara Theatre Festival, AHA! International Theatre Festival for Children, the biennial "EQUAL – Voices for a Common Humanity",the annual festival of plays by young directors, etc., are carefully curated and present productions in different genres, styles and languages. Not only do these celebrations bring diverse theatre communities together, they are also a wonderful opportunity for audiences to expand their idea and experience of theatre.

Word is filtering down from the Bluepeak Mountains that the mining communities there are being afflicted by a virulent sickness. Whilst the Tender church prepares a mission to assist the stricken villages, the People's College is looking for troubleshooters to travel to the region and attempt to determine the source of the contagion.
After waking up the defeated mercenaries the party strikes a deal with their leader, exchanging the details of the killers' contract for a promise of release. The captain reveals that he was employed by one Grigor Alexi to 'clean up' the alchemical workshop and dispose of those within. Dolna and Mink react with some outrage, explaining that Alexi was the businessman who employed them to conduct this project in the first place.
The mercenary suggests that it would probably be best for all involved if Alexi believed that the clean up had been successful and that no word of this matter got out. The party agree with this and the killers head off back to Caul as the group begin the long trek back over the mountains and home to Acryn. En route they find that the sickness still appears to be afflicting the mountain villages, the white smoke that cured their condition apparently not having reached these places before the Ghost Fire destroyed the source.
Returning to the People's College they report their findings to Konstantia van Strice who is appropriately appalled to learn that this is no disease outbreak but an incident of mass poisoning. Dolna is hustled away to the department of alchemy along with one of the renaming philtre's containing the purifying essence. They are assured that the information along with any cure that can be developed will be passed on to the Church's expedition and they are paid the full 36R they were promised. When Konstantia voices that she will be reporting the incident to the Council, Tabitha quickly volunteers to stand forward as a witness.
The convened council committee is concered about the affair, but despite Tabitha's well prepared demonstration on the subject, is unwilling to commit to enforcing Acryn law out on the borders with Caul. In private she consults the Traitor about whether she should be attempting to stamp out this legal grey zone but is commanded to leave it alone.
Whilst Astraeus returns home to get in hot water with his fathers, Hod, Tamburlaine and Mink walk across to the Wayfinders' Guild and ask about applying for membership. Mink swiftly signs up and begins to brief the guild about the problems caused by the Ghost Fire, but Hod is reluctant to sign on the dotted line and makes excuses about having to get approval from the Terrec family. Followed by Guild enforcers and not anxious to return to the Terrec estates, they seek refuge with Astraeus' family. After they explain the situation they strike a deal with the Arcane Arbitrator to provide a future (ethically acceptable) favour in exchange for protection from the Guild and being hidden from Tamburlaine's parents.
Tabitha learns that Tam has gone missing and begins wandering the streets (Dan in tow) searching for her kinsman. Eventually she recieves a missive bidding her meet with the missing pair on the edge of the flux. There Tamburlaine explains that he is unwilling to go back to his parents strict rule when he should be out doing good in the world. Tabitha demands that they come home and orders Dan to drag them back if need be, but before the bodyguard can secure the youth, Hod grabs him and the pair flee off into the flux.
Tabitha reports this meeting to the worried parents and they vow to find the missing pair and bring the might of the Terrec family down on whoever is responsible for harbouring their runaway son.
Having ingratiated himself with the Cargan-Graves, Wilkins returns to Lady Marian Terrec and reports that he has suspicions that her cousin Tabitha is showing concerning signs of possible Traitor involved. The inquisitor is grateful for the tip off and makes plans to investigate the matter further…
Pig travels down to Caul to try to find Roan the alchemist and the steel Golem friends she made at the workshop. Roan is easily located and spends a couple of days tutoring Pig in her laboratory, advising her to return when she has developed her alchemical skills and decided upon her path in life.
Finding Minecart and Query String proves more difficult, but eventually Pig discovers her doll Philia lying discarded on the path up to the temple of the Lord of the Rock. Inside she is treated to horrible scenes of golems toiling in servitude and even being made to destroy one another. Her fears are confirmed when she speaks with a priest who tells her that her friends are no more and that she killed them by making them lose their way.
Making her way back to Acryn Pig reports in to Jimmy Hoskins, who is extremely pleased with the delivery of a Pigload of evidence of bad behaviour on the part of Acryn's young nobles. Pig asks him to declare that the golems of Acryn should be free but he fobs her off with promises of future assistance should she continue to prove herself useful.
A second trip to Caul sees Pig accost a Priest of the Rock in the street and demand an explanation as to how the golems of Caul differ from those of Acryn. Once it's made clear that the golems are part of the Lord of the Rock, living only through an expression of his power, Pig loudly announces that she will no longer be seeking to murder the god…though she's still deciding on the fate of his mean priests.
One detainment by the Watch later, Pig is shipped back to Acryn and Jimmy firmly explains that she mustn't go back to Caul again, or plot to kill people without running it by him first.

Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother
Written by Amy Chua
After watching an interview with author Amy Chua on the Today show promoting her latest book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, I was immediately intrigued and appalled! I just could not understand a woman that frowns on playdates and sleepovers, who does not allow her children to choose their own extracurricular activities and who forces her children to practice a classical instrument 6 hours a day! However, I think I was most offended by her constant criticism of Westerns and their parenting styles. Therefore, when a local book club suggested that this book be the topic of discussion this month, I became a very eager participant. I bought the book with the assumption that my initial impression of this woman would be justified. In addition, I couldn't wait to express my contempt to the fellow members of my new book club!
To my surprise, though, I found a kinship to Amy Chua. In her book, she gives a very candid account of her struggles with parenting the Chinese way in America. She discusses her loneliness in defending her values, the arborous work of preparing her children for the future and the battles that emerged between her and her family. I must say, I found her honesty quite endearing.
Also, I discovered I agreed with many things in the book! I, myself, limit the amount of TV my children watch. I have intentionally steered my children toward activities that will benefit them in the future (Although, I do not think Amy Chua would agree with the activities I chose) furthermore I do believe in hard work and expect the same from my children.
However, where we disagree is with the concept of playdates. I am a teacher and I strongly believe that social development is just as important as academics. I believe this difference of opinion is cultural, for in America, a person will not go far in their career if they do not have social skills no matter how intelligent they are.
I enjoyed this book and I applaud Amy Chua for her frankness, bravery and determination. As an American, though, I have to say I did not appreciate the constant criticisms and overgeneralizations about Westerners and their parenting styles that she expressed so strongly in every chapter. There are many hard working Americans who do not "eat junk food and spend 10 hours a day on Facebook." Perhaps, she is just meeting the wrong people.

I've been intrigued with what I've read about this book - it's certainly been a topic of conversation in our house... My husband is South African, so I think some of the observations of Americans resonate with him! I'm with you on the play dates, though.ReplyDelete

I'm not a parent but I do teach preschool. I read an excerpt and had a strong negative reaction. I think I need to read the entire book. After your review, I'm thinking it would definitely be worth my time.ReplyDelete
Hi Michelle:ReplyDelete
I'm not entering your contest as I already have this book. I just wanted to comment that I too read it and absolutely loved it. Amy Chu did a fantastic job and I found that I agreed with most of what she said. They are quite strict when raising their children and don't put up with any guff like a lot of parents do today with their children. Perhaps all of us who are raising children, could take a few lessons from this book.
