A Keeper - Graham Norton
Emma's Comments:
Yes this is THE Graham Norton ! His second novel and its a really great read. If you are a fan then you will hear him reading it to you in your head.His accents and quirks!Ask me what type of genre it is and its really hard to pin one specific one. Drama, Romance?? Thriller Murder Mystery?? A bit of it all and SO HIGHLY recommended by me and all those that have since read it .
Graham Norton's debut novel HOLDING was a Sunday Times bestseller and loved by readers everywhere. His new novel, A KEEPER, is a twisted tale of secrets and ill-fated loves that once again demonstrates Norton's understanding of human nature and all its darkest flaws.
The mystery of Elizabeth Keane's father is one that has never been solved by the people of Buncarragh - not for lack of speculation.
Her mother Patricia had been assumed a spinster, until she began dating a mysterious man from out of town, and within months had left Buncarragh and had married. Less than two years later, Patricia was back, with a new baby in her arms, but no new husband by her side and unbendingly silent about her recent past. A secret she would take with her to her grave.
Now, as Elizabeth returns to the village after her mother's funeral, bringing with her her own regrets and wounds, she finds a thin pile of ribbon-bound letters at the back of a wardrobe that may at last hold the key to her past:Praise for Holding, winner of the Irish Book Awards' Book of the Year 2016

There's less than 10 minutes before the preshow starts for The Game Awards, but did you know that you can win free games if you watch the stream on Steam?
All you have to do is log in to your Steam account and watch the stream via the client. When the preshow starts, so does the giveaway. Every 15 minutes, Steam will pick 150 winners from eligible viewers for a random game. The catch? Your account must be a non-limited account, meaning your account must have already spent at least $5. The games given away are also randomized, meaning that you may not even get the one you want. At least you're eligible for all the drawings, so you have a chance to win more than one game.
Curious about which games are up for grabs? Here's the list:
- Prey
- Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
- Cuphead
- What Remains of Edith Finch
- Please Knock on My Door
- Hidden Folks
- Nidhogg 2
- Divinity: Original Sin 2
- Tooth and Tail
- Slime Rancher
- Hollow Knight
- Mr Shifty
- Old Man's Journey
- Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
- Night in the Woods
- NBA 2K18 – Legend Edition Gold
- Project CARS 2
- XCOM 2 + War of the Chosen DLC
- Pyre
Most of the games have 100 available for giveaway, with some of them having only 50. Those who win will automatically get the game added to their library. But what about if you already own all of the games listed? Better luck next time.

One trend that is sweeping the nation this year is CBD — otherwise known as 'Cannabidiol." Simply put, CBD is a hemp extract that contains little to zero levels of THC, allowing users to experience its therapeutic properties, without the psychoactive (it won't get you high). CBD products are everywhere and are expected to continue their uphill trajectory over the next few years. In fact, the Hemp Business Journal claimed hemp would grow 700% by 2020. From CBD oils and skincare to infused coffee, chances are you'll run into a CBD product. Even Martha Stewart is jumping on the CBD train, as Canopy Growth Corp announced earlier this month that she would be joining the company to help develop their line of hemp-based CBD products!
Still not sold? CBD isn't just a trendy discovery, its health benefits are endless. It improves your quality of sleep, treats anxiety and depression, protects and heals your skin, has anti-inflammatory properties, helps fight against opioid addiction, and relieves chronic pain…just to name a few. Here's the kicker, doctors cannot prescribe CBD (just recommend it) because there is no recommended daily allowance (RDA) or universal standards for dosage, so before you dive in, make sure to do your research on which method of CBD consumption will work best for you.
Below are some of the most popular CBD trends we're seeing in 2019!
More Dispensaries & Wellness Stores
It's no surprise that CBD is becoming more and more popular in the United States, and around the world, as all-natural and holistic remedies are increasing, and even replacing prescription/over-the-counter medications. With that being said, you may notice more dispensaries and stores opening, that is promoting holistic wellness this year. Even wellness stores like Vitamin Shoppe are putting CBD products on display! However, because it is not a highly regulated product, there are no standards for what goes in it (i.e. watch out for high levels of chemicals or pesticides). So when searching for the right CBD products to use, experts recommend a few tips when choosing CBD from the shelf:
- Figure Out Why You're Using CBD / What Form You Want: Finding the right product for you is dependent on the type of treatment you want, in addition to the type of experience you like. Are you looking to quick relief for joint pain, or are you looking for a gradual absorption, lasting hours? Different products will produce different results. For instance, placing a drop or two of CBD oil under your tongue will give you quick, and fast, absorption for immediate results. Whereas consuming a tasty CBD gummy will take 30+ minutes to fully absorb into your system. Or maybe you're looking for something odorless and discrete, and a vape pen or dissolvable powder might be the form of CBD for you.
- Find Out Where It's Grown: The majority of hemp used for CBD products sold in the United States are grown in Colorado, Oregon, and Kentucky, or is imported from overseas. Since this is not a highly regulated product, you want to make sure that the ingredients are legit, and clean, especially for the hemp grown overseas since they are not subject to any state or federal testing. While consumers are craving more transparency from the companies that produce the food and beverages that go into our bodies (and rightfully so), it is not unusual to seek more information. If you have a question, just give the company a call!
- Avoid Propylene Glycol: While Vape pens make smoking CBD convenient and easy to take with you on-the-go, studies show that vape pens of CBD may contain a property called propylene glycol. When this solvent is burned at high temperatures, it can turn into formaldehyde (a chemical that irritates the nose, eyes, and can lead to a higher risk of cancer). When choosing products, make sure you are for checking the labels that say "solvent-free."
Don't know where to look to find a CBD product in your area? Check out this CBD locator to find some stores near you.
CBD Oils Everywhere
One of the most common ways to absorb the benefits of CBD is through CBD oils. Similar to essential oils, they offer quick relief with application or absorption. One of the quickest ways to absorb the oil is to place a small amount under your tongue and let it sink into your bloodstream. And if you don't like the taste, you can also find CBD oil capsules — an easy way to consume it on-the-go. CBD oil is also popular because of its measurable qualities, resulting in a more consistent dosage for consumers. CBD oil is also a great multipurpose product, where you can consume it or apply it topically. Many users mix CBD oil into their beverages, meals, or apply it on top of their skin to treat acne or wrinkles.
CBD To-Go with Chewing Gum
Yes, my friends, CBD chewing gum is a thing! Brands like Endoca, are marketing their gum as environmentally friendly and fully biodegradable. Additionally, they recommend using it because it's convenient and discrete, promotes cleaner teeth, and its ability to be orally absorbed into the bloodstream, enhancing its bioavailability. With many different brands of CBD chewing gums, you can find them in a variety of flavors, and they're great to keep handy at your desk, in your purse, or gym bag.
Diets Incorporating Tasty Edibles
If you're a foodie like me, CBD edibles might be your sweet spot — and you're not alone. Edibles are among the most popular of CBD products because they are easy to use, require no preparation, and come in all different shapes, sizes, and flavors. Think of it this way, with CBD edibles, you can eat sweets, and promote wellness at the same time…sign me up!
Hydrating in the Office with CBD infused Sparkling Water
CBD drinks have exploded in the beverage industry and were the hot topic of discussion at the recent 2019 Expo West that took place in Anaheim, California, at the beginning of the month. Consumers are turning to CBD infused Sparkling Water, from brands like Recess, who claim that it helps young, working professionals "maintain their balance" throughout the day. With great flavors like Peach Ginger, Pomegranate Citrus and Blackberry Chai, Recess is focused on giving consumers an enjoyable and refreshing experience while taking CBD.
Vaping CBD
These CBD trends can get pretty fancy, but CBD is also available in a smoking form for those that prefer the traditional ways of consuming plant-based products. This allows for fast absorption and the added benefit of making it a relaxing or social experience. Additionally, taking CBD through a vape pen is not as creative as the other products listed above, which actually means fewer ingredients and ultimately higher CBD purity. For an all-natural, no frills, way to get the benefits of CBD, this is excellent, but remember to look for "solvent-free oils" on the label.
CBD in the Beauty Scene
Big name skincare brands like Kiehl's' and Josie Maran are encouraging beauty enthusiasts to incorporate CBD skincare products into their beauty regiment. In an exclusive interview with Allure.com, Josie Maran, founder of Josie Maran cosmetics, stated, "I would sit in every makeup chair as a model and be like, 'Do you have anything that's healthier? Or something that's non-toxic?" — and she's not alone. Many people crave more natural and holistic skin care products. These CBD infused skin care products boast addressing your skin's elasticity, dullness, and signs of aging, in a natural and eco-friendly way.
DIY Infusions/Dissolvable Powders
DIY infusions are increasingly becoming more popular due to the fact that they are portable, odorless, flavorless, and fully activated with high absorption rates of CBD, since smaller particle sizes allow for higher absorption within the body. Another bonus is that you can choose your favorite method for including these powders into your everyday routine. Think outside of the box, and don't just throw it in your water or favorite beverage (unless that's your jam), you can include it in your Grandma's famous chocolate chip cookie recipe too!
Waking and Baking with Infused Coffee
Waking up and smelling the CBD coffee could soon be one of your favorite parts of the day! It's easy to use for coffee enthusiasts because you can just throw your favorite brand of CBD coffee into a coffee maker and brew it, either hot or cold (adjust serving size based on dosage/taste). With CBD infused coffee, you get the benefit of a healthier coffee option. And coffee shops everywhere are noticing this recent demand! According to a recent Forbes article, analysts believe that Starbucks might be the first big chain to carry CBD infused coffee! Analyst Andrew Charles wrote in a report, "Should the regulation of CBD oil as an additive to food/beverage change or craft/independent coffee shops find a way to comply with the existing regulation, we could envision Starbucks ultimately piloting the ingredient." In response to recent speculation from coffee fans, Starbucks' CEO, Kevin Johnson admitted they are definitely paying attention to CBD trends.
Sipping on CBD Cocktails
Next time you're nervous for a first date, try picking a spot with CBD cocktails. Sipping on a CBD cocktail combines all of the social properties of drinking alcohol while giving you a relaxed buzz.
And if you're worried about the taste, there are actually some delicious looking recipes out there, because CBD oil is smooth and buttery, making it a unique and interesting combination for mixologists to play around with.
Swapping Sleeping Pills with All-Natural CBD Remedies
Insomnia is an epidemic that many people suffer from. And since CBD interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system, it helps regulate things like stress and sleep patterns. Using a CBD product before bed may become a helpful bedtime routine for those who struggle with getting the recommended 7- 9 hours of sleep each night. In addition to it helping users sleep, in small doses, CBD can act as a stimulate to keep you alert and focused throughout the day, while limiting daytime sleepiness. Due to our bodies' natural alarm clock, called the Circadian Rhythm, being alert during the day and asleep at night time is important for your body to function at its absolute best. Big Pharma might be in trouble! While prescribed sleep medications can be 1) expensive and 2) addictive, it is likely that many people will make the switch to CBD as a natural sleep remedy.
Relax & Unwind with CBD Candles
My personal favorite is CBD candles. After a long day of writing, I crave some R&R featuring a cozy bed, mood lighting, candle, and maybe some essential oils. With a CBD candle, you get 2 out of 3 of those things! Light the candle and witness it wash away your stress from the day, providing the best relaxation vibes in your room. Now here's the best part. When the candle wax begins to melt, it will turn into a warm essential oil that you can massage onto your skin.
CBD Creams for Pain Relief
People of all ages experience joint and nerve pain and spend years seeking the best remedies. Recently when doing "research," I walked into a Seattle Dispensary and the saleswoman swore by CBD pain relief cream for her chronic nerve damage. Her story is much like many others, who have tried everything on the market but found miraculous and instant relief with CBD. Creams such as these work so well that they are even used to treat things like chronic arthritis and cancer-related pains.

Telling Co-incidences
Aug 31, 2017 11:44AM
Now in my early 50s and forever trying to master truly living in the moment, I was delighted to read our feature story by Deborah Shouse, "Aging with Passion and Purpose." Exposure to wise souls demonstrating how life can be recreated and renewed at any stage brings helpful perspective.
While elders may question younger generations' reliance on social media as their primary means of communications, we also admit to many opportunities and advantages of being connected when technology is used responsibly; for example, old friends are getting in touch again and grandparents are cementing bonds with grandchildren. Today's ability to tap into knowledge faster than anyone dreamed possible when I was growing up is enabling individuals to drive positive change in fresh ways.
DoSomething.org reports a community of 5.5 million young people that are supporting causes through using its social media platform to spread good vibes and societal change. From advocating for animals to eliminating bullying to health and the environment, they are activating en masse.
With my renewed commitment to live more of life "in the moment," it's clicked with me that it's really about living more consciously. Thoughtfully considering the relationship of cause and effect in our lives helps us make better decisions more easily. We all benefit.
Recently, while tending the Natural Awakenings table at the Boston GreenFest, a woman expressed how happy she is to have taken steps to green her lifestyle. She was perplexed about a substitute for plastic wrap. I recalled I'd heard about reusable wraps that are safe for people and the planet, but couldn't remember the details to help her solve the problem.
The next morning I found what I wanted to share with her online before heading off to the last day of the event, hoping I'd see her again. However unlikely, it would feel good to close the loop. Late that day after we packed up, our intern pushed the cart of expo supplies to the curb and I walked to the garage to get the car. As I stood waiting for a light to change, I watched as two women headed away from me, changed their minds and crossed the street in my direction instead.
As we passed, I greeted them with a customary smiling hello when I recognized the "plastic wrap woman". Such outward expression of intention is no accident; she wanted a solution and I wanted to offer one. I believe that's what happens when we mindfully pay attention to what's right in front of us.
We hope you can join us as The Revolution of Consciousness event returns on September 24 for another uplifting day filled with professionals driven to help others live more healthy and vibrant lives. Visit TheRevolutionOfConsciousness.com for more details and please say hello!
To serendipities and co-incidents a plenty!

LEGER: Hate crimes are on the rise as bigotry creeps into politics
Bears might be prowling the stock indexes, but shares in hate are enjoying a bull market like we haven't seen in generations. Western democracies, once justly proud of their openness and tolerance, are seeing the intolerant minority growing bolder and more violent.
In Canada, federal statistics captured almost 2,100 hate crimes reported to police in 2017, up from 1,409 in 2016. Some of that might arise from better reporting, but that's an increase of almost 50 per cent. The majority of the nastiness happened in Ontario and Quebec with Jews, Muslims and Afro-Canadians the most frequent targets.
Hate crimes have increased four years in a row, according to Statistics Canada. That makes it a trend, not a coincidence, even with most of the offences classified as mischief, vandalism and public incitement of hatred against identifiable groups. But direct violent attacks were also up, a worrisome indicator of future problems and suggestive of a worsening outlook for public safety.
Most reported hate crimes fell short of direct violence against individuals with one important exception. Crimes based on sexual identity, 10 per cent of the total number of such offences in Canada, were much more likely to be violent.
Short of direct violence, spray-painting a family home or a place of worship with hateful graffiti might be considered less serious because no one gets physically injured. But there's no denying the terror effect it has on the people it's aimed at, especially on children.
In the U.S., law enforcement agencies report hate crimes were up 17 per cent in 2017. The same groups were targeted there as in Canada, which should come as no surprise. Canadians and Americans are both exposed to the toxic messaging from racist and hate groups that makes its way into our daily lives mainly via websites and social media.
Hate crimes are up in Britain as well, in keeping with a trend across much of Europe, according to annual statistics compiled by the European Union. Reported hate crimes in England and Wales were up by almost 30 per cent in 2016-17, the fastest increase since authorities started tracking such statistics in 2011.
As in Canada and the U.S., most such acts were aimed at racial and religious minorities. Attacks based on sexual identity (gay-bashing as it used to be called) were also frequent, although police said most attacks still go unreported.
In France, the total number of reported hate crimes has been trending downward since it peaked in 2015. But French hate crimes tend to be more violent, according to the EU. Except for France and Germany, incidents of hate and violence against minorities are increasing across Europe, with especially steep increases in Greece and Italy.
So what's different on the hate front in 2018 compared with earlier years? I'd suggest that hate crimes are up because people are being told that hate is great again. Thinly veiled racist talk has crept into political speech and many people believe it's now OK to be intolerant, because white European culture is under attack.
Most non-violent racists indulge their prejudices primarily through hateful speech shared with like-minded bigots. It is the violent minority among them that takes it further, shooting up black churches in the U.S. and attacking minority members in mall parking lots or schoolyards.
They're being told it's acceptable. In the U.K. and across most of Europe, extreme right-wing parties are embracing anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim rhetoric as part of their public appeal. They are saying, rarely explicitly but with clear implications, that it is OK to hate.
The current U.S. president refuses to condemn hate speech or hate groups. Only Donald Trump's most ardent supporters still claim that what he says doesn't affect how people behave.
It does matter what political leaders say about the hateful currents running through society. It's up to citizens to reject such talk, and such politicians, online and at the ballot box.

For those who choose to go beyond undergrad and continue on to a graduate school it is imperative that they get the most out of their program as they continue on in their area of focus. For those whose focus is in the medical sector, it is very important that as they go through their graduate classes they are maximizing their learning by any means necessary. An article on the Educause website discusses the effectiveness of Apple iPad technology in the Biomedical Sciences graduate school setting at the Ohio State University College of Medicine.
The article points out that there is little research that looks at the use of the iPad in the classroom, but there is an increasing amount of people adopting tablet technology. For example, the article states that the percentage of American adults who own tablets almost doubled over the 2011 holiday season, from 10 percent to 19 percent, as did the ownership of e-book readers.
Current research indicates potential for the iPad to serve as a teaching tool because of its light weight, high connectivity, and functionality with both typed and hand-written note taking. From the two-year experience of equipping all of Ohio State University College of Medicine first-year graduate students with iPads, they found many advantages of an iPad-enabled curriculum in our graduate program, but challenges remained. The main advantages included:
- a portable device with constant access to the web while on campus
- consistency with the educational goal of active learning
- excitement among our students to receive an iPad
- increased enthusiasm for the graduate program that benefited recruitment efforts
- a sense of newness, with the deployment of this technology enhancing the graduate student experience
Overall, the adoption of iPads in graduate education enhanced the educational experience by increasing classroom connectivity, promoting engagement, and putting a wealth of new teaching and learning tools at the fingertips of students and faculty.

Chapter 74: Prince Fu has ten thousand plots of fertile farmland Original and most updated translations are from volare. If read elsewhere, this chapter has been stolen. Please stop supporting theft.
It was early evening when the lanterns were being lit when Lou Zigui and Ning Xiaoyao returned to the palace. Shadowgale and the rest had arrived long in advance, and had even sent Dragon Guards and imperial guards to look for the pair. Shadowgale himself had started thinking of the worst case scenario and thought that Grand Preceptor Xie had managed to get rid of His Majesty and Supreme Commander.
Ning Xiaoyao was still wearing her simple-minded grin when she jabbed at her nose and told Shadowgale, "How could anyone successfully assassinate me? If I couldn't beat them, I'd just run away!"
Shadowgale looked at His Majesty's row of little white teeth and felt that he really had worried over nothing.
"Little Fang's still not back yet?" Ning Xiaoyao asked after looking over the crowd.
Shadowgale said, "General Fang is still at the Grand Preceptor's estate."
"Oh, then let's keep him there to torment the guy," Ning Xiaoyao said carelessly. As long as Fang Tang wasn't bothering her, it was fine.
Shadowthunder scooted over and said, "Your Majesty, the Grand Preceptor said he's lost a set of 24 brushes with Jiangnan scenes etched into the handles. It was given to him by the late emperor."
"Is that so?" Ning Xiaoyao's hand brushed against her bag, but her expression didn't change. "Who knows if he's telling the truth? Ignore him."
Shadowthunder nodded. "Your Majesty is right. This subordinate doesn't think it's true, either. Funnily enough, the Grand Preceptor even got into an argument with Elder Li over those very brushes."
Ning Xiaoyao cleared her throat. "Elder Li knows that the Grand Preceptor lost his brushes too?"
Shadowthunder nodded again.
Ning Xiaoyao walked towards the main hall. It looked like she'd have to hold off on selling those brushes just yet, at least until after the news died down. (Author: Just how much do you fear Elder Li? o(╯□╰)o)
"Your Majesty," Song Jin ran through the gates of Supreme Splendor Hall with a report just then, "The imperial clansmen are asking for an audience outside the palace."
Ning Xiaoyao subconsciously looked towards Lou Zigui, who asked, "How many of them came?"
"All the ones who should have come," Song Jin replied in a low voice.
"There's no need for His Majesty to see them," Supreme Commander Lou turned towards Ning Xiaoyao. "You're the emperor. No one can force you to do anything."
Ning Xiaoyao inexplicably felt that she was pretty awesome. Everyone else fell silent instead. Those are the imperial clansmen. His Majesty's currently at odds with the Grand Preceptor and empress dowager. Supreme Commander, are you egging His Majesty to fight against the entire imperial clan as well?
"Then we'll forget about them," Ning Xiaoyao was heading towards the hall, but now she turned to head towards the door instead. "I'll go have a talk with Prince Fu instead."
Lou Zigui hastened to raise his hand and block Ning Xiaoyao's way. "What is Your Majesty planning to talk about with Prince Fu? Don't tell me you're going to 'chat about life' with him,"
"........" said everyone else. Supreme Commander, can't you be more respectful towards His Majesty?
"I heard Elder Li say that Fatty Fu has 10,000 plots of fertile farmland, ah," Ning Xiaoyao replied. "I'm planning to take them off Prince Fu's hands." She could use money to buy seeds, but she couldn't do much after that. Ning Xiaoyao was a thorough planner, so she'd set her sights on those 10,000 plots of fertile farmland as soon as Elder Li had mentioned them.
Lou Zigui said, "Then is Your Majesty planning to give Prince Fu his official salary from the past two years?"
"Nope," Ning Xiaoyao shook his head.
So you're not only going to withhold his pay, but take Prince Fu's lands as well? Everyone looked at His Majesty in awe. You were planning to force Prince Fu to death from the start, weren't you? That has to be it, right?
Once again, Lou Zigui pulled Ning Xiaoyao over to a corner and asked her in a soft voice, "Are you planning to dismiss the vassal lords?"
Ning Xiaoyao rubbed her nose. "What does that mean?"
Lou Zigui was rendered speechless again. She didn't want to pay Prince Fu, but she still wanted his land. How are you going to do that without dismissing the vassal lords?
"Ah?" Ning Xiaoyao asked.
Lou Zigui could only stand there and explain to Ning Xiaoyao what it meant to dismiss the vassal lords. In the end, he emphasized one point, "If you dismiss the vassal lords now, it'll definitely lead to another war."
"Aren't those princes not allowed to keep troops?" Ning Xiaoyao asked.
"They're not allowed," Lou Zigui replied, "But they have retainers to guard their estates and hired men as part of their retinue. It's precisely those people that make up their private armies."
Dismissing the vassal lords would mean waging war. After making that connection in her head, Ning Xiaoyao said, "I won't do something as fierce and cruel to the people as causing a war. That doesn't match my personality."
Did waging war have anything to do with one's personality? Lou Zigui still didn't understand His Majesty's words.
"We'll have a talk first," Ning Xiaoyao lowered her voice. "If that doesn't work, I'll think of a way to secretly kill off Prince Fu instead."
Lou Zigui replied, "Even if you kill off Prince Fu, his eldest son will still inherit his land."
"Heheh," Ning Xiaoyao chuckled. "If I can kill off the father, why can't I kill off the son?"
By that logic, you'd be able to kill the grandson if you kill the son, too? Lou Zigui looked at His Majesty Ning in silence. And you still want to say you're not fierce and cruel?
"Let's go," Ning Xiaoyao pulled along Lou Zigui as she headed for the exit of Supreme Splendor Hall. How could she kill off people so easily? Negotiation talks meant talking it out until both sides came to an agreement. Ning Xiaoyao's back was absolutely straight as she walked and did mental calculations. Prince Fu had competed with the previous emperor for the throne before losing. The previous emperor had doted on a woman like Empress Dowager Xie and heavily used Grand Preceptor Xie, a treacherous official with a mouth full of nonsense. Really, the previous emperor's IQ level couldn't be very much at all. If that was the case, how smart could Prince Fu be? He was defeated by that very same emperor, after all! Ning Xiaoyao felt no pressure and was full of confidence. (Author: Hey hey, you can't calculate IQs like that!)
Prince Fu was wearing a cangue and handcuffs, sitting on the floor of a relatively clean cell. The underground prisons made it impossible for the prisoners to see the hours of the day, completely depriving them of all sense of time. Prince Fu had no idea how long he'd been sitting in this cell. He'd suddenly fallen from being a dignified and impressive Prince Fu of the first rank to a criminal guilty of regicide. It was impossible for him to accept such a fact, and thinking about it only made his head hurt. He wasn't even sure how he ended up like this when he truly had no intentions to kill the emperor, ah!
Ning Xiaoyao pushed open the door to the cell and walked in with Lou Zigui, but Prince Fu simply remained sitting on the ground, staring at nothing. When Ning Xiaoyao saw his blank stare, she asked Lou Zigui, "Has he been scared senseless?"
Lou Zigui shouted at the prisoner, "Prince Fu?"
Meanwhile, Shadowgale ran inside to place a few more oil lamps around the cell. Either Lou Zigui's shout or the added light helped Prince Fu recover his wits. His head whipped up to look at Ning Xiaoyao, who waved at him and said, "So we meet again."
Prince Fu wanted to stand up, but he gave a wretched cry as soon as he straightened his back. Ning Xiaoyao explained to Lou Zigui and the Dragon Guards, "He has bad circulation."
"........" said everyone else. We're not interested in the reasons behind Prince Fu's screams at all.
Prince Fu glared at Ning Xiaoyao. "You ruined me! I had no intention to kill you."
Ning Xiaoyao feigned ignorance as she adopted an astonished expression. "Really?"
Prince Fu started to shout, "You're the one who handed the dagger to this prince!"
Ning Xiaoyao spread out her hands. "Am I an idiot? Give you a blade when I have nothing else to do, just so you can kill me for fun?"
Prince Fu was absolutely floored. Ning Xiaoyao heaved a sigh. "I know you hate me. After all, my father defeated you when you wanted to be the emperor. That's about equal to stealing your wife away. You're holding a big grudge, right?"
Nobody on the site could stomach these words. Lou Zigui could only muffle his mouth and cough, shaking his head when Ning Xiaoyao looked his way. Don't speak nonsense!
Ning Xiaoyao processed the head shake and thought, since Supreme Commander doesn't want me to waste time (Author: Can't you two read each other's mind better?), "That there," Ning Xiaoyao told Prince Fu, "Let's cut to the chase. I'm not going to give you any money. It's impossible even if you beat me to death. So, that there, I want your 10,000 plots of fertile farmland. Give me a price."
Prince Fu stared at her in a daze. "You're going to pay for them?"
"I don't have any money right now. I'll write you an IOU." Ning Xiaoyao had already thought it over on the way here. "First I'll owe you, then I'll give you the money when I get some."
'Aren't you just stealing all the same, then?' thought everyone else.
Ning Xiaoyao wore a slight smile as she asked, "What do you think?"
Prince Fu stared woodenly at Ning Xiaoyao for a long time. Gradually, the flesh on his body began to tremble. When Ning Xiaoyao saw Prince Fu's expression distort, she maintained her smile and said, "If there's anything you can't take, just bring it up. We can talk it over."
"I," Prince Fu had been shaking for so long that Supreme Commander Lou and the Dragon Guards were worried that he'd shake his meat right off. Finally, he howled with rage, "I'm not satisfied with any of this! Ning Yu, do you take this prince for an idiot? Absolutely intolerable! If you have the guts, just kill this prince!"
"If an uncle can endure, why not an aunt?"[1. If an uncle can endure, why not an aunt (叔叔能忍...婶婶就不能忍) - SHUSHU nengren, shenshen bunengren, long story short, this is the vernacular version of Prince Fu's quote of "Absolutely intolerable!" which itself is a Confucius quote of 是可忍,孰不可忍 shi keren, SHU bukeren. Both quotes mean the same thing--something is completely unacceptable--but Ning Xiaoyao's quote is a modern variant used today that has a play on words for two homonyms, 孰 (SHU, "who, which, what") and 叔 (SHU, "uncle"). Naturally, the joke sounds funnier in Chinese…] Ning Xiaoyao was still slow and leisurely as she spoke. "Prince, getting mad won't solve the problem. Can you fix your attitude?"
"Just kill me!" Prince Fu roared.
"You should calm down."
"Ning Yu, kill me if you have the guts!" Prince Fu was still yelling with rage.
Ning Xiaoyao stopped trying to calm Prince Fu this time. Instead, she lifted her leg and kicked him into the wall. The mountain of flesh that was Prince Fu crashed against the wall and caused the entire cell to shudder twice. He left a gaping hole in his wake as he fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood, along with two teeth.
"You, you hit me?" Prince Fu said in disbelief as he laid sprawled on the floor.
Ning Xiaoyao spoke with the self-assurance of justice on her side. "You're the one who told me to kill you!"
"Ptui!" Prince Fu spat out another mouthful of blood.
Supreme Commander Lou and the Dragon Guards could only act as silent bystanders. There was no place for them to pitch in and help. Ning Xiaoyao said, "I'm going to make sure one last time. Do you really want me to kill you?"
Prince Fu didn't say another word. He didn't want to die; at the same time, he had discovered that this Ning Yu was a little madman. A lunatic!
When Ning Xiaoyao saw that Prince Fu had turned docile, she crossed her legs and sat down in front of him. Her hand lifted to the wooden cangue resting on Prince Fu's shoulders before she snapped the 100 pound thing in half with her fingers. Now Prince Fu grew even more docile. If it was so easy for this lunatic to break that 100 pound instrument of torture into two pieces, it'd probably take him less effort to break off my head if he wanted.
Ning Xiaoyao patted Prince Fu's shoulder before pulling him upright into a sitting position. He hadn't grown a body of flesh for nothing. A single touch of his shoulder revealed to Ning Xiaoyao the condition of his injuries. Thanks to his thick layers of fat, he didn't have any internal injuries despite wrecking a hole in the wall.
Prince Fu finally gathered his courage after being stared at by Ning Xiaoyao and asked, "Y-you, just what do you want?"
"Speak up," Ning Xiaoyao said, "Name your conditions. What will convince you to sell your land?"
Prince Fu said, "It was bestowed upon me by the late emperor."
Ning Xiaoyao drew back the corners of her mouth into a grin that revealed her little white teeth. "Conditions."
"........." said Prince Fu. If Yongning's emperor is a lunatic, then the country is doomed, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

A friend of mine bought me a copy of Freakin' At the Freakers Ball when she was at a garage sale. Actually, she did not originally buy it for me. This friend is a rather conservative mother of two. I can hear her inner dialogue when she first found this CD. "Oh look, Shel Silverstein. I love reading Shel Silverstein to my children. I will get this CD for my four year old son."This woman is too young to know that Shel Silverstein once was a regular contributor to Playboy. She has only ever known him as an author of children's books such as The Giving Tree or Where the Sidewalk Ends. She didn't know that Silverstein's poetry and music included pieces that centered on naked women, pornography, drug use, etc. In any case, it was through her casual purchase that I came into possession of my copy of Freakin' at the Freaker's Ball.
The songs on this album are sung by Silverstein. His voice is odd. He's part folk singer, part country singer, and part beat poet in his style. He manages to talk through some songs. He engages in the kind of vocal acrobatics that a storyteller for preschoolers might engage in. His work here is not for preschoolers.
The first track is "Thumbsuckers." The lyrics are about the dangers of letting a thumbsucker suck your thumb dry. The tune is catchy. The idea of thumbsuckers as monsters who would leave you with no thumb at all before they're done with you is vivid. This song makes me laugh. I can imagine for a child with visions of monsters under the bed it would be less entertaining.
The next track is "I Got Stoned And I Missed It."It is the first person account of a singer who misses out on certain events because, as the title states, he was stoned and he missed them. It's sung in a way that makes me think of Keanu Reeves in the old Bill and Ted movies.
Next comes one of my favorite Silverstein poems – "Sara Cynthia Sylvia Stout." It's the story of a young girl whose chore is to take out the garbage, but she won't do it. Silverstein lumbers through some lines, and races through others. He gasps for breath at points. It's a great rendition. The description of the garbage is disgusting and just perfect for kids. Among the descriptions I particularly like are:
And so it piled up to the ceilings,
coffee grounds, potato peelings.
Brown bananas and rotten peas,
glumps of gooey cottage cheese.
It's a great song, and one that definitely is kid friendly. Actually, it's pretty much the only truly kid friendly song on the album.
On the Other hand the next song, "Stacy Brown Got Two" is not kiddie appropriate. Stacy Brown was born with two of a certain body part that most men only have one of. This is a moment where nothing is explicitly spoken, but the lyrics leave no question about what Stacy Brown's got two of.
The next song is surely a remnant of another era and also not one for the whole family. In "Polly in a Porny," Shel talks about his evening out with the ladylike Polly. She is so ladylike, he's afraid even to ask for a goodnight kiss when they part. He then heads out to the local adult movie theater and finds that his ladylike date turns out to be the star of the current movie. This is not my favorite song.
The sixth offering on the CD is the titular Freakin' at the Freaker's Ball. This is an event to which everyone is invited. There will be folks of every stripe at this location. His list of attendees includes sadists, masochists, pyromaniacs, necrophiliacs, junkies, straights, and many others. Some of the words he uses were the accepted slang of the era in which the song was written, but in this politically correct world in which we live are now considered offensive. That said, this song has some very entertaining elements. Again, however, this is not one to listen to with the kiddies.
Track 7 is ""All About You." This song tells the story of Silverstein learning the girl he was seeing was seeing other men. He is sitting at the train station thinking of writing a book about her. Silverstein manages to paint a very vivid picture with a very few words. I like this song. Again, not one I'd choose to share with the kids.
The eighth track is Don't Give A Dose To the One You Love Most and encourages a man to take care to protect the woman he's having sex with by not giving her a "dose" of some STD. Written before the HIV scare, the descriptions (which can be graphic) are of other diseases. This one actually makes me more than a little uncomfortable with its descriptions.
The Peace Proposal tells of two generals (General Clay and General Gore) who want to get out of fighting a war and just go to the beach and build sandcastles. It is a recited poem rather than a song. I like Shel's voice here, but other friends find his raspy rendition hard to understand. This piece feels particularly current these days, but I suspect at anytime that we find our military engaged overseas it will.
The tenth cut is Masochistic Baby. The lyrics explain the song better than I can
Yes, she is the one that I'm dreaming of,
And you always hurt the one you love.
Ever since my Masochistic Baby went and left me,
I got nothin' to hit but the wall,
Nothing to beat but the eggs
Nothing to belt but my pants,
Nothing to whip except for the cream…..
I suspect many folks don't want to admit that there are others who choose to be in a relationship that involves power exchange and physical hurt as part of sexual play. In this age where spousal abuse is rightfully a concern, there are those who will find this a painful song. If taken as a song from someone who is in a S & M relationship and who misses his partner, it's more appealing.
The eleventh track is Liberated Lady 1999. This is a man in the 70s predicting where feminism would lead us. Interestingly, I know men who think the picture of a woman who once upon a time had nothing on her mind, but now has to mow the lawn and pay bills is accurate. Hate to tell them, but women have always had things on their mind. Now we have options. Keeping in mind that Silverstein wrote for Playboy and was around a fair number of ladies who were paid to be trophies, I can understand his view. It feels chauvinistic. :
Number 12 is The Man Who Got No Sign : This is a poem which tells about a man who somehow has now astrological sign. He is murdered where everyone is identified by their sun signs. I personally don't follow astrology so I'm sure I'm missing lots of jokes. This one just doesn't do it for me.
Number 13 is one of my favorite numbers. Front Row Seat To Hear Ole Johnny Sing : This song which sounds like a Johnny Cash tune is a man telling how he has gotten everything he ever wanted in his life except to have a front row seat to hear ole Johnny (Cash) sing. He sells everything to make the dream come true. He heads to Nashville, to Hendersonville, to the Opry. In every case, his attempt to see Johnny are thwarted. In the end, a twist of fate leads him to get his wish. Johnny Cash, a friend of Silverstein's, has a cameo moment in the song, too.
The last track is Everybody's Making It Big But Me. He talks about the big names of his day and who's got the ladies dripping off them. It includes a comment that Elton John has two ladies….hmmm…. Silverstein, on the otherhand, is still with "them same old sleezoes." This is probably my least favorite item on the CD.
So Shel Silverstein produces an almost entirely kid-unfriendly album. I like this album, but recommend it with the proviso that listening to Silverstein do his own work is sort of like listening to Bob Dylan. The voice can be grating, but the poetry is there. The topics of this poetry will be offensive to many. It gets particularly offensive because Silverstein is so good at painting a picture in a few lines. That said, if you are open to the idea that someone who wrote brilliant children's poetry could also write about drugs, pornography, naked people, sex and alternative lifestyles you might find something of interest here.

host its fifth annual all inclusive all abilities bike ride on Sunday,
September 24th 2017. This year for Everybody Rides 2017 we will be hosting our
annual Facebook contest to win an adaptive bike. TerraTrike has generously
donated an adaptive bicycle - Rambler Nuvinci valued at $2,200. The Rambler
Nuvinci will be given to the child, adult or wounded veteran with the most
"likes." Deadline to enter the contest is Tuesday, September 12th at 11:59
pm. Voting is open from Wednesday, September 13th at 11:59 am and closes
Friday, September 22nd at 11:59 pm. The more money raised the more adaptive
bicycles will be given away.
The event will be held at James O. Breen Park in St. Charles, Illinois. Riders can choose from a 10 mile family trail ride or a 29, 47, or 62 mile road ride on quiet country roads. After the ride Project Mobility will host a party in the park with live entertainment, food, drinks, and raffles.
Benefiting local charity, Project Mobility is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization located in St. Charles, Illinois. Project Mobility is the charitable arm of The Bike Rack. Project Mobility's mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of children, adults and wounded soldiers with disabilities. We provide the services, resources, and equipment needed to promote better health, independence, and the freedom of mobility through adaptive cycling.
In 2016 Project Mobility traveled to 25 different states serving over 2,000 wounded soldiers and held over 50 day camps for children with special needs and donated over $50,000 in adaptive cycling equipment!
The bike ride is part of the annual fundraising events to raise funds and bring awareness to Project Mobility and their mission of providing the freedom of mobility to those who may not have experienced this tremendous opportunity.
"This is one of the few cycling events that my entire family can enjoy. As an endurance cyclist I routinely ride 50+ miles. My wife however isn't a strong cyclist. With the route selections and the shorted trail ride, it provides all of us the opportunity to do a ride that meets our skill levels. I did a longer ride and my wife did the 10 mile trail ride, finishing about the same time." Event Attendee Everybody Rides 2016
There are a variety of sponsorships still available. The deadline is Friday, September 8th and Project Mobility is looking for additional volunteers. Veterans ride for free. Register at Project Mobility's website.
For more information on the Everybody Rides, or to find out how you can make a difference in the lives of children, adults and wounded soldiers with special needs contact Katherine Simmons at 630-464-2991 or email: email@example.com

CORTLAND, N.Y. – The State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) is proud to announce the 2018 SUNYAC women's swimming and diving annual awards. Each year the conference coaches vote on these awards to honor the SUNYAC Swimmer of the Year, Diver of the Year, and Rookie of the Year.
Swimmer of the Year: Nancy Nasky, Geneseo
For the third year in a row Nasky, a junior from Brighton, N.Y. is defending her title as Swimmer of the Year. Nasky was also named the Outstanding Swimmer of the Meet at this year's SUNYAC Swimming and Diving Championships. During the championship she posted first place times in the 500 freestyle (5:01.27), 1650 freestyle (17:03.45), and was also on the first place 800 freestyle relay team (7:41.44). Her successful season led her to qualify for the NCAA Division III swimming and diving championship where she competed in three events with her best finish being 18th in the 1650 freestyle.
Diver of the Year: Meghann Kilgallon, Brockport
In her final season, the senior from Binghamton, Meghann Kilgallon has been named SUNYAC Diver of the Year. Kilgallon came in to the SUNYAC championship strong, winning the women's 1-meter dive with a score of 456.35, and placing second in the 3-meter dive with a score of 461.30. She went on to the NCAA Division III swimming and diving championship where she placed 14th overall in the 3-meter dive. As the most successful diver in Brockport's history Kilgallon has won two All-American accolades this season making for three overall.
Rookie of the Year: Lauren Siegel, Geneseo
After an impressive first collegiate season, freshman Lauren Siegel, from Cortlandt Manor, has been named Rookie of the Year. In her first appearance at the SUNYAC Championship she posted two individual first place finishes, and was on a first place relay team for the Knights. The two individual wins were in the 200 IM (2:06.31) and the 400 IM (4:33.97). Siegel was also on the first place 400 medley relay team which had a time of 3:54.44.

Up a steep staircase behind a hidden doorway in London's Chinatown, past a bouncer who's likely to turn you away if you're not young, cute or hip (ideally all three), and does so in a manner that makes Putin look like Nicholas Parsons, lies Experimental Cocktail Club. I think it's purpose-designed to make anyone vaguely normal feel a bit stabby, the sort of place that confirms all the prejudices about the capital from the inhabitants of every Great Chipping On The Shoulder in the entire land.
I went once. They let me in (must have been my trusty 12-quid frock). I disliked it intensely. So when news arrives of their new baby, a place called with either immodesty or eccentricity Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels, I can't say I'm that bothered. But then items start trickling through that pique my interest: a review from the doyenne of restaurant critics; a sussed foodie pal saying they offer the best jamón she's had on these shores; an Instagram snap of a toastie, made with St John sourdough, sandwiching fine cheese and Italian prosciutto cotto fragranced with truffle, the oozy bechamel top crowned with two perfectly fried quail's eggs. Admittedly that last one was from me.
That croque madame might be my new favourite thing. I'm planning a towering hangover just so I can go back and scarf it for breakfast. It's not clever or different, a simple thing, but it's made from the most glorious constituents, evidence of clued-up buying – a theme that becomes familiar throughout my meals there.
So, yes, the jamón is beautifully nutty ibérico (I'm a bit worried it's cut by machine, though: slapped wrist for that one) or pata negra with the melting richness of pig-flavoured toffee. The hot dishes veer between earthy – small green lentils in a pungent stock for a warming soup – to frou frou – foie gras seared "à la plancha" with pink lady apples and mustard. (No point in getting bent out of shape about the liver: the place is very, very French. They even do buttermilk-fried frogs' legs.) Occasionally, it's a little mad: what's billed as "Pâté Lou Safran" is – it has to be said – somewhat dog-meaty, despite being laced with saffron from Quercy and more foie gras. Amusingly, it's served in a jar that comes, I'd guess, straight from the company's new deli next door.
You'd need a grown-up wine buff to do justice to the list, especially the scary main one, which is the size of a paving stone, but fresh-faced sommelier Julia Oudill is happy to talk us through. The "Surnaturels" led me to suppose it would focus on raw or natural wines, but that doesn't seem to be the case; still, the labels are très recherchés, from the slopes of Etna or the vineyards of Greece and Hungary, in addition to France's less-travelled roads. They could have called it The Experimental Wine Club. Super-wines – in the sense of big, rare, important – are available by the glass: a Margaux or an opulent, spice-and-leather Roccheviberti barolo from Piedmont. With this kind of number costing up to £21 a glass, you can give yourself quite the sore head.
There's a Japanese word, kawaii, that basically means cuuuuuuute, in a breathless, schoolgirly voice. CdVS, petite soeur of the original in Paris, is ultra-kawaii: it perches in one of London's most bijou squares, its outdoor tables furnished with woolly blankets for the chill. Weeny tables make it impossible to order anything more than the most Vogue-staffer of repasts (we had to commandeer two); the house look is mini boutique hotel, complete with enchanting-accented, good-looking staff. They almost stumble under the weight of the counterintuitively vast puddings: Bunterish slabs of bergamot-scented poundcake drenched in salted caramel with wodges of apple and crème fraîche. Altogether, it's as cute as a kittens' teaparty served by Amélie. Of course, you can just go and buy many of the components of the menu from the equally kawaii deli, but really, where's the fun in that?
• Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels 8-10 Neal's Yard, London WC2, 020-734 7737. Open all week, 9am-midnight (10am-11pm Sun). About £50 a head including drinks and service.

The Marseille locals have a saying when they want you to get lost, that you should "va te jeter aux Goudes" (literally, throw yourself to Goudes, i.e. go away). Les Goudes is a small fishing village at the outermost limits of Marseille. Traditional fishing families have lived here for centuries, there are Nazi bunkers dotted around the surrounding hills and the rocky coastline is blissful.
Head to the bar 20,000 Lieues (after the Jules Verne book, 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea) that overlooks the beach where you can swim before Happy Hour. Hunt down an outside table, order a pizza and enjoy the sunset with a few beers. Delightful!
Restaurant 20,000 Lieues, 12 Boulevard Alexandre Delabre, Marseille, France +33 (0)4 91 25 05 24
This iconic establishment isn't cheap but its unparalleled view over the iconic Promenade des Anglais is well worth the price tag. On the 10th floor of the hotel, you'll find the pool terrace with bar and restaurant, where you can feel like a king or queen, watching everyone else like ants down below. The Lounge is open from 10am to 5pm after which you can head to the restaurant until late into the evening.

The Byblos hotel has been an institution in St Tropez since it opened 50 years ago; it's one of the more chic hotels in the area. Its bar, Les Caves du Roy (literally, "the wine cellar") is where people come to party when money is no object. It's free to get in, but don't let that fool you, as a bottle of champagne can cost close to €300. But it's worth the budget for an impressive night that you'll never forget, with resident DJs and a kitsch dance floor. Dress to impress.
Les Caves du Roy, Byblos Hotel, Avenue Paul Signac, Saint-Tropez +33 (0)4 94 56 68 00
The VIP Room is another institution in the small village of St Tropez, which pushes above its weight in star-studded club nights. Karl Lagerfield once described this place as "the best club in the world" and it regularly tops lists of Best Global Bars. It can be super sophisticated and very difficult to get into without a reservation, which is very difficult to make in the first place. Book a dinner reservation and you're more likely to get in after. Check Facebook for up-to-date listings.

The Carlton Hotel in Cannes is where director Alfred Hitchcock famously shot his muse, Grace Kelly in To Catch A Thief in the 1950s. During the Cannes Film Festival, it plays host to lavish parties and A-list guests. The Carlton Bar is where you can go to relax and take in a little sophisticated history, rather than have a crazy club night. You might even find the odd jazz evening. It oozes southern French class and you might spot the odd star.
58 Promenade de la Croisette, Cannes, France +33 4 93 06 40 06
The Longchamp Palace is a local favourite and a place to have a spectacular night out without getting dressed up or experiencing over-the-top "bling". It's not that far from the centre of Marseille or the Cours Julien (where many other bars can be found), so it's a great place to end your night dancing to the DJ or wolfing down food that you forgot to eat earlier. You might plan to just start your night here but you might not want to leave.
Longchamp Palace, 22 Boulevard Longchamp, Marseille, France +33 4 91 50 76 13
Nice – like other cities – has plenty to offer in the way of rooftop bars and like Le Meridien, Le Radisson offers their own alternative high-rise pool with a view. Go for the day to swim but end with an unforgettable night to watch the people going about their lives on the Promenade des Anglais below.
Le Radisson Blu, 223 Promenade des Anglais, Nice, France +33 4 97 17 71 77
Sun 7 attracts a hip crowd who know how to party, both in Cannes and Nice. It's open until 5am where the crowd drinks cool cocktails and grinds their hips to the best DJs. Check out their Facebook page for listings.
Sun 7, 5 Rue Gérard Monod, Cannes, France +33 7 60 25 59 00
Sun 7, 36 Rue de France, Nice, France +33 6 77 99 56 27
Nice is a place for jazz lovers, and the Shapko Bar comes up time and again on lists of great bars in Nice. It's unpretentious, full of locals and it's a great laid-back alternative to the A-list shenanigans you can find elsewhere.
Shapko Bar, 5 Rue Rossetti, Nice, France +33 9 54 94 69 31
Most of St Tropez's night life is over the top, full of bling and ostentatious displays of wealth. Chez Maggy, just behind the port, offers a different sort of night – where extroverts are encouraged, dressing up is "de rigueur" (required behaviour) and big crowds are a given. It's popular with the LGBT crowd. You'll find live music, Go Go Girls and theme nights.
5 Rue Sibille, 83990 Saint-Tropez, France +33 4 94 97 16 12

text: Bayer AG completed its €17 billion takeover of German rival Schering AG, creating the country's largest drugmaker.Bayer now controls 92.4% of Schering, the Leverkusen, Germany-based company said today in a statement. That misses the 95% threshold required to be able to force other shareholders to sell their stakes and delist Schering. "We're still aiming to acquire the entire stock of Schering," Chairman Werner Wenning said in the statement. "But we're not in a hurry." Schering will help bolster Bayer's health-care unit with the multiple sclerosis treatment Betaseron and the world's biggest stable of birth-control pills. Growth at the enlarged company will be led by new products and demand for cancer drugs such as Bayer's Nexavar, Wenning has said. Bayer also has farm chemicals and material science units. The company expects to gain almost half of its revenue from health-care products, up from just more than 33%. Schering will remain a member of Germany's benchmark DAX index for now, Bayer spokesman Guenter Forneck said in an interview today. That blocks Bayer's German rival Merck KGaA from moving into the index. "Merck would have had the best chances for the slot," Silke Stegemann, an analyst at Landesbank Rheinland-Pfalz, said in a note to clients today. Schering will probably leave the DAX in September, Stegemann said, giving Deutsche Postbank AG, Germany's biggest consumer bank by clients, a better shot of joining the index. Schering will be included in Bayer's financial reporting. Bayer will delay the publication of its second-quarter results until Aug. 29 and hold an extraordinary shareholders meeting in September, the company said. Bayer sold € 1.2 billion in new shares last week. This was one of the final steps in financing the purchase after Bayer sold its medical diagnostics unit to Siemens AG and issued bonds worth €6.3 billion, including €2.3 billion of convertible bonds. The company said it plans to sell its HC Stark and Wolff Walsrode units. Shares of Bayer rose 15 cents, or 0.4%, to €37 at the close of trading in Frankfurt. Merck shares fell 32 cents, or 0.5%, to €67.38, and Schering shares rose €1.61 to €90.78. The extra yield investors demand to hold Bayer's 6% euro-denominated bond due in 2012 instead of government bonds rose to 65.9 basis points, according to RBC Capital. This is lower than the 68 basis points the spread hit when Standard & Poor's put the company's debt on credit watch for downgrade on March 24. Bayer AG's credit rating was cut two steps by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services yesterday. Bayer's long-and short-term corporate credit rating was lowered to "BBB+/A-2" from "A/A-1". Berlin-based Schering also had its ratings lowered to "BBB+/A-2" from "A/A-1." Both companies' ratings were removed from CreditWatch, where they were placed in March. (Bloomberg)
