[VIDEO] Gubernatorial debate scheduled at Centre College, Bevin accepts via WAVE 3 News
While the outcome of the Republican gubernatorial primary election is pending, Centre College has extended invitations to Attorney General Jack Conway and his two potential Republican opponents, Louisville businessman Matt Bevin and Agriculture Commissioner James R. Comer, to participate in a gubernatorial debate the evening of Tuesday, Oct. 6.
Sponsored by AARP, the hour-long event would be broadcast live across the Commonwealth on both television and radio stations by media partner WAVE 3 News. Scott Reynolds, news anchor for WAVE 3, has been selected to act as moderator.
"Kentuckians went to the polls on Nov. 4, 2014, without the benefit of having heard from their U.S. Senate candidates in any live debates," said Centre President John A. Roush. "We expect that won't be the case in 2015 when our citizens are asked to vote for their next governor."
AARP Kentucky State Director Ron Bridges echoed this sentiment. "We don't just sincerely hope that the candidates accept our invitation; we strongly urge them to do so," Bridges said. "Our constituents—indeed, all Kentuckians—want to know where the candidates stand on issues crucial to family caregivers and financial security."
Centre is well known for hosting debates, and some might consider the stage of Newlin Hall in the Norton Center for the Arts to be hallowed political ground.
Vice presidential candidates Joseph Lieberman and Dick Cheney met on this stage in 2000. It was also the setting for a 2007 gubernatorial debate between Gov. Ernie Fletcher and Steve Beshear. More recently, in 2012, Vice President Joe Biden and Congressman Paul Ryan engaged in a lively conversation on the Newlin Hall stage.
"We are hopeful that our previous experiences at the 'center of the political universe' will inspire confidence in the gubernatorial candidates to consider Newlin Hall as a logical setting to discuss their qualifications for this high office," said Roush.
Richard Trollinger, vice president for College Relations at Centre, co-chaired both vice presidential debate efforts and emphasizes that the gubernatorial debate partners only strengthen the proposal.
"AARP is a trusted partner with an extensive reach across the Commonwealth to some half million Kentuckians," said Trollinger. "They sponsored our Debate Festival in 2012, and we know their commitment to civic engagement and dedication to informing the electorate. We have every confidence to pursue another and new venture with them."
Trollinger is equally impressed with WAVE 3 News.
"They are an award-winning news organization that has been able to put together an impressive network of television and radio stations across the Commonwealth for the debate," he said. "This will assure that Kentuckians from Paducah to Ashland, Owensboro to Murray, Louisville to Lexington, and all spots in between will have the opportunity to learn more from, and about, our gubernatorial candidates."
Stations currently committed to carry the debate live are:
· WHAS-AM (Louisville)
· WLEX-TV (Lexington)
· WXIX-TV (Cincinnati/Northern Ky.)
· WSAZ-TV (Huntington)
· WFIE-TV (Owensboro/Henderson)
· WQWQ-TV (Paducah/Cape Girardeau)
WHAS-AM is also offering the broadcast to the Kentucky News Network, made up of 85 radio stations across the Commonwealth.

Nowadays, everybody wants to have good health in their life like he or she want good health and wealth and they invest a lot of money just for good health and wealth. In this era where most of the things are completely pure and if things are 100 percent pure so it is much costly and normally people could not afford their prices or unable to buy that product. In our environment, we have seen a lot of problems which directly affect our health and our wealth for example Dusting which cause breath issues, cough, and other issues which were normal people are facing, for this reason, most of the people join some health classes to get healthy and wealthy in their life like doing exercise on daily basis similarly doing jogging in morning because the environment is getting fresh and air also fresh on that time when sun arising like in early morning people do jogging and some cardio therapy but this is not enough for good health like you are doing jogging daily and exercise as well and the whole day your eating junk foods, drinking cold drinks or adults drink and sitting whole day in one place like in office which increases your wait and most of the people getting lazy from these types of thing decrease people health issues and people face diseases and injuries in result, for this reason, people want to use some extra thing in day time like supplements which give extra energy to the human body and make active the whole day.
Every people wishes to look healthy so most of the people use some supplement like Magnesium Chlorides supplement and magnesium oils Australia which is one the best supplement for our health. Magnesium Chloride has so many advantages like if it makes your heart healthy which is one of the best advantages of magnesium chloride similarly it makes your digestive system better and also improve your muscles, nerve functions in their body and also make sharp their brain similarly, Magnesium Chloride improve and make stronger human body immune system and provides human to relaxation mentally, Magnesium Chloride also improved and make stronger human bone and make healthy, and also control or maintained blood pressure level, and also control sugar level in your body similarly Magnesium Chloride provides us to improved human sleep because nowadays normally people sleep in late night and unable to sleep properly like sleep around 4 to 5 hours or sleep 5 to 6 hours a day and scientifically it is proven that normal people should sleep a minimum 8 hours a day and get up early in the morning similarly Magnesium Chloride also kill bad germs and bacteria in your body and create anti-bacteria which fight with bad virus and germs in your body.
Uses of Magnesium Chloride is one of the best choices nowadays because it provides us with fast and optimal solutions for our health and makes a healthy human body for health reason people use magnesium chloride in our food and drinks in specific quantities.

Graphene, a newly discovered carbon based material, is predicted to have a strong nonlinear electromagnetic response over a broad spectral range. Its unique carrier transport and terahertz properties have gained ample attention. Recently, it has been demonstrated that graphene has an extraordinary high nonlinear response with third-order susceptibility X3∼ 10-7 esu, which is 105 times higher than that of silicon.
In this thesis, we examine the nonlinear response of electron dynamics in graphene using the new derived optical Bloch equations. The thesis is divided into three sections. In the first part, we provide an overview of the derivation of the extended optical Bloch equations from the time-dependent Dirac equations. Then, we use these derived optical Bloch equations to demonstrate the coupling of light and field interaction in graphene, and the generation of the photon echo signals. Next, we describe the nonlinear response in graphene in terms of the current density, and we show that the enhanced interband dynamics reduces nonlinearity in the electric current. Finally, we illustrate that the strong interplay between the interband and intraband dynamics leads to large harmonic generations, where harmonics of up to 13th order are generated.
Public Abstract
Nonlinear optical phenomena in materials are significant for the development of useful photonic applications. Studying these effects not only would improve the performance of the nonlinear materials in applications with their wide transparency range, fast response, and high damaging threshold, but also would push the industries to develop more advanced techniques for the fabrication and growth of artificial materials. Therefore, the search for and study of nonlinear material is highly desirable.
Graphene, a newly discovered carbon‐based material, is predicted to have strong nonlinear electromagnetic response over a broad spectral range. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the nonlinear optical effects in graphene, including light and field interaction, photon echo generation, current density and harmonic generation, using the newly derived optical Bloch equations.

Ancient Egypt / Religion / Structures /
Mastaba are structures with flat roofs, and normally built from mudbrick or stone. The mastabas had burial chambers that often were dug out in the ground, deep under the mastaba, with shafts connecting to the entrance.
The theory is that the pyramid of Zoser in Saqqara was at first constructed as a mastaba, even if it differed from the ordinary mastabaa by being made all in stone. This mastaba was extended by building five new, and gradually smaller, squares on top of it. By adding these new "stories", the pyramid was born.
All over Egypt, there are thousands of mastaba with a great variety of wall paintings, many of high artistic value. These depict everyday life in Ancient Egypt, and the mastabas represent a central source of information from that period in world history. On the other hand, the wall paintings in the pyramids depicted life in the court and among the royals.

Hollingworth Lake SC
Lake Bank
United Kingdom
The Club
Hollingworth Lake Sailing Club welcomes complete beginners to experienced sailors.
The club enjoys excellent open water sailing on a 117 acre reservoir set in the foothills of the Pennines and its principal objective has always been "to create a safe and successful club of people who enjoy dinghy sailing and create opportunities for all to enjoy this sport".
Since its foundation in 1946 HLSC has had a prominent role in British dinghy sailing being the home club of number of national champions, world champions and, following London 2012, an Olympic silver medallist. Its members own and manage all the functions of the club including organised racing, training and safety cover on the water, with a friendly welcome and an active social programme ashore.
Off The Water
Our members are involved in all aspects of the club, from race management to providing refreshments and organising social events. We have a well-maintained clubhouse with catering, changing and relaxation facilities. A comfortable bar is the focus of the social programme. During the winter months, social and training events for all ages are scheduled in the clubhouse.
The Sailing
Experienced Sailors
The Club's main focus is on dinghy racing. Class racing in GP14, Laser, Merlin Rocket, Mirror and Solo dinghies takes place on Sunday afternoons (from the beginning of March to mid-December) and Wednesday evenings (in the summer months).
Every year each of our different classes holds an Open Meeting.
On Wednesday evenings we also hold a handicap race alongside our class racing. In other words, the handicap race start is in addition to the various class starts. So on Wednesdays members can race any type of dinghy they like.
New Sailors
At HLSC, we offer you an opportunity to develop your skills, through encouragement and support, in activities and events throughout the year. Whilst we would be keen to encourage you to take part in the club's racing programme there are also a number of informal opportunities to get afloat away from club racing. One of the great things about HLSC is that, as a member of the club, you can choose to sail on the lake whenever you want. This option is available on any day of the week and so you have the freedom to practice your sailing when you want to. However if someone has very little experience we would recommend that their sailing takes place when the safety cover is there. Finally to help you along during your first year we will buddy you up with an experienced club member.
You do not need to buy a boat to join the club. As most of our boats are two handed boats then crewing opportunities are nearly always available; the perfect and inexpensive way to introduce yourself to the sport.
Training and Development
The club offers a range of opportunities to members in order to develop their skills. As we are an accredited RYA Training Centre then the courses we run are RYA courses. The training courses are organised for all abilities including youngsters on the RYA Youth Sailing Scheme and adults who are new to the sport on RYA Dinghy Levels 1, 2 & 3 courses.
Facilities and Equipment
Dinghy Park
Outside, the dinghy park provides hard standing for the boats, with wide concrete slipways, giving easy access for launching into a sheltered harbour.
Club Boats
The club owns a number of boats (RS Visions, Mirrors, Optimists and Lasers) which are available for members to hire.
During all races a patrol boat is on the water. There are first aid facilities at the club. The club also has a number of buoyancy aids which new members can borrow.
Club House
The clubhouse has Ladies and Gents changing rooms with hot showers. There is a social area and a bar, both with superb views over the lake and the surrounding countryside. The club is excellent for spectating. You can also keep in touch with the outside world as the club has free Wi-Fi.
Which Boat?
We currently race in the following classes:
Mirror – excellent for juniors
Laser – a single hander for the fit and agile
Solo – a classic one-design, single hander that is sailed at many clubs in the UK
GP14 – a two-person dinghy, suitable for inexperienced sailors, while still providing entertaining racing up to a high standard
Merlin Rocket – an out and out two-person racer
Others – On Wednesday evenings we also hold handicap races for dinghies, so members can race any type of dinghy they like.
Additionally the club owns the following boats, which are used mainly for training, and can be hired by members:
Optimist – are designed for kids, who can handle them without danger or fear. Over 150,000 kids in over 100 countries cannot be wrong. The Optimist is not only one of the biggest dinghy classes in the world, it is the fastest growing.
RS Vision – an adult training boat that's also a perfect all-round family sailboat for easy handling. A boat that is roomy, stable and great to sail.

20 Dec 5 Ways to Reduce Your Dental Nightmares Over the Holidays
The last thing anyone wants to do over the holiday season is going to the dentist for an emergency visit. You don't have time for the pain from cavities, needing a filling, or a broken tooth or dental implant. Factor in a possible fear of the dentist or the procedures and the idea of something going wrong at a holiday party can seem like a nightmare.
Avoid late-night emergencies, painful trips to see your dentist, and turning an otherwise happy holiday into a stressful event and take care of your teeth. Here are a few ways to keep your mouth and teeth on track this holiday season.
Decrease the Sweets
You've heard the lecture about sweets and tooth decay since before your adult teeth came in, and it's true! Eating extra sweets with no increase in toothbrushing and flossing can create plenty of problems. But over the holidays, there are other concerns. Some goodies are extremely hard, chewy, gummy, or sticky. If you've got a problem tooth or filling, these candies might make them worse. Skip the chewy, sticky stuff and pick another fun food instead.
Drink More Water
During the holidays, it's normal to drink more wine, alcohol, and other drinks because you're out at more parties and celebrating. As much as possible, drink more water. Not only will help rinse your teeth, it's good for you in general. Dark drinks like soda, coffee, and red wine can stain your teeth. And sugary drinks can cause problems with cavities as well as tooth and gum sensitivity.
Choose Healthier Foods
As a general rule, we should all eat healthier. But when you're taking care of your teeth and avoiding problems, it's definitely a good idea. Know you shouldn't eat those homemade caramel candies? Grab an apple or carrot sticks from the fruit and veggie tray. Not only are you taking care of your body, you're keeping yourself from inadvertently popping a filling out or causing other issues. When you do indulge later, you'll feel less guilty because you know you've been eating healthy, too.
Don't Open Things With Your Teeth
If you don't want a natural tooth or dental implant to pop out, break, chip, crack, or otherwise have a serious problem, do not use your teeth as a pair of scissors or a bottle opener. Nothing ruins a holiday party or Christmas morning like the excruciating pain of a dental emergency. And over the holidays getting in to see a dentist can be extremely difficult due to limited hours. Use the appropriate tools for the job and give your teeth a break.
Stick to Your Dental Routine
Got a dentist appointment over the holidays? Don't skip it. Too tired to brush your teeth? Do it anyway. Even with the best of intentions, this is the season when people drink and eat more and everything has more sugar. As a result, your teeth can get covered in even more plaque. No matter how late you've stayed out or how tired you are, don't forget to brush and floss. And yes, if you scheduled your check-up during the holidays, go anyway. Your dentist may be able to catch a problem before it ruins the rest of the holiday season for you.
Reduce Your Stress
If you know you're likely to bite your nails or grind your teeth when you get stressed, the holidays can turn that up to another level. Do your best to reduce your stress and avoid the jaw-clenching pain that can come from a night of grinding in your sleep. Take moments to be quiet and alone. Breathe deep. Enjoy the small pleasures in the holidays. And every so often, remember to unclench your jaw.
Your dentist wants to see you for regular check-ups and we definitely want to see you when you have a problem like a broken crown or any kind of pain. What we don't want is for your holidays to be overshadowed by a dental emergency. Take care of your teeth all the time but especially during the holiday season. Whether you have dental implants to take care of or dental fears you want to avoid, good preventative dental care will keep you out of the dentist's chair and at the party this holiday season.

Computers and Chess
The current state-of-the-art in computer chess is fairly intricate, but all of it involves blind computation that is very simple at the core.
Let's say you start with a chess board set up for the start of a game. Each player has 16 pieces. Let's say that white starts. White has 20 possible moves:
- The white player can move any pawn forward one or two positions.
- The white player can move either knight in two different ways.
The white player chooses one of those 20 moves and makes it.
For the black player, the options are the same: 20 possible moves. So black chooses a move.
Now white can move again. This next move depends on the first move that white chose to make, but there are about 20 or so moves white can make given the current board position, and then black has 20 or so moves it can make, and so on.
This is how a computer looks at chess. It thinks about it in a world of "all possible moves," and it makes a big tree for all of those moves, like this:
In this tree, there are 20 possible moves for white. There are 20 * 20 = 400 possible moves for black, depending on what white does. Then there are 400 * 20 = 8,000 for white. Then there are 8,000 * 20 = 160,000 for black, and so on. If you were to fully develop the entire tree for all possible chess moves, the total number of board positions is about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000, or 10120, give or take a few. That's a very big number. For example, there have only been 1026 nanoseconds since the Big Bang. There are thought to be only 1075atoms in the entire universe. When you consider that the Milky Way galaxy contains billions of suns, and there are billions of galaxies, you can see that that's a whole lot of atoms. That number is dwarfed by the number of possible chess moves. Chess is a pretty intricate game!
No computer is ever going to calculate the entire tree. What a chess computer tries to do is generate the board-position tree five or 10 or 20 moves into the future. Assuming that there are about 20 possible moves for any board position, a five-level tree contains 3,200,000 board positions. A 10-level tree contains about 10,000,000,000,000 (10 trillion) positions. The depth of the tree that a computer can calculate is controlled by the speed of the computer playing the game. The fastest chess computers can generate and evaluate millions of board positions per second.
Once it generates the tree, then the computer needs to "evaluate the board positions." That is, the computer has to look at the pieces on the board and decide whether that arrangement of pieces is "good" or "bad." The way it does this is by using an evaluation function. The simplest possible function might just count the number of pieces each side has. If the computer is playing white and a certain board position has 11 white pieces and nine black pieces, the simplest evaluation function might be:
11 - 9 = 2
Obviously, for chess that formula is way too simple, because some pieces are more valuable than others. So the formula might apply a weight to each type of piece. As the programmer thinks about it, he or she makes the evaluation function more and more complicated by adding things like board position, control of the center, vulnerability of the king to check, vulnerability of the opponent's queen, and tons of other parameters. No matter how complicated the function gets, however, it is condensed down to a single number that represents the "goodness" of that board position.

- School session refers to all academic terms, semesters, and/or school sessions between the start and end date of an F-1 student's program of study, as reflected in SEVIS and on the Form I-20.
- For example, for a freshman who is starting high school in September 2017 and is expected to graduate in June 2021:
- SEVIS Program Start Date might be 9/1/2017 to reflect the mandatory orientation.
- SEVIS Initial Session Start Date might be 9/15/2017 to reflect the start of classes for the first academic term session.
- The Current Session End Date might be 12/20/2017 to reflect the end of the academic session, and the Next Session Start Date might be 1/10/2018.
- SEVIS Program End Date might be 6/1/2021 to reflect the date of the student's graduation/program completion.
Registration refers to a specific action a DSO takes in SEVIS to confirm a student is or continues to be engaged full time in the program of study for a specific session. It is part of a school's reporting requirements cited in 8 CFR 214.2(f).
Note: This use of the term "registration" may differ from how schools use the term "registration" in their academic setting.
SEVIS registration must be completed on all appropriate SEVIS records no later than 30 days after the start of each session. Prior to completing a student's registration, DSOs must decide if every Initial and Active F-1 and M-1 student attending their institution is eligible for SEVIS registration.
Specifically, DSOs should consider the following:
- Has the student enrolled in a full course of study for the session, dropped below a full course of study without prior authorization from a DSO, or has failed to enroll?
- Is the current address for each enrolled student up-to-date?
- Start date of each student's next session, or are the students in their final session?
- Are there any necessary changes to the student's SEVIS program end date?
If a student is not eligible for SEVIS registration, please review these articles on the SEVIS Help Hub to determine the appropriate action:
- Manage Initial Program and Session Dates
- Cancel SEVIS Record in Initial Status
- Shorten Program
- Terminate a Student
Relevant Federal Regulations
Before taking action on a student's record, DSOs must understand the federal regulatory, full course of study requirements for their type of school.

Pre-Requisites for Registration
SEVIS will not allow registration for initial and continuing students whose records are missing certain information.
Initial Student Registration
SEVIS will not allow registration for students in Initial status if the record lacks:
- I-901 SEVIS Fee (unless they remain on a SEVIS record that was created before September 1, 2004).
- U.S. Physical Address.
Active Student Registration
To be eligible for continuing registration, the student record must have:
- I-901 SEVIS Fee payment. (This is not required for students who remain on a SEVIS record that was created before September 1, 2004.)
- U.S. Physical Address.
- Properly formatted e-mail address. (This is not required for F-1 students in K-12 or for M-1 students under the age of 14.)
- U.S. or foreign telephone number, or a confirmation that the student does not have a telephone. (This is not required for F-1 students in K-12 or for M-1 students under the age of 14.)
Registration Flags
I-901 SEVIS Fee
Students who have not paid the I-901 SEVIS Fee will have a red I-901 Fee Due flag on their Student Information page. Once the fee is paid, the flag will change to a green I-901 Fee Paid flag.
SEVIS displays an error message if a DSO tries to register a record with an I-901 flag.
Personal / Contact Information
Continuing students without a valid U.S. address, email address, or confirmed telephone information will have corresponding red flags on their Student Information pages.
SEVIS will not allow the DSO to submit registration until the DSO enters the missing information. U.S. address, telephone and email information can be entered as part of the regular registration process or as an update to personal information.
Once the missing information is entered, the DSO can submit registration using either the regular process described in this document or via mass registration.
Finding Students Not Eligible for Registration in SEVIS
SEVIS will determine that a student is not eligible for registration if pertinent information is missing on the student's record.
To find students who are not eligible for registration, check the following lists and alerts:
- Initial Status Students List
- Active Status Students List
- Active Students Requiring Registration Alert List
The final column in each of these lists indicates whether the student is eligible for registration or still requires more information. A green check mark indicates registration eligibility. A red X indicates ineligibility. SEVIS displays the ineligibility reason when a DSO rolls his/her mouse over the red X.
After exporting these lists into Microsoft Excel format, the ineligibility reason appears in the final column of each record.
Confirm Session and Break Lengths
When international students are in the United States, their primary responsibility is to attend school. Regular student registration in SEVIS is necessary to track international student regulatory compliance. Therefore, DSOs will have to confirm session dates to particularly long school sessions or breaks.
The ability to confirm SEVIS registration for long sessions and breaks does not mean that it is something DSOs should do regularly.
SEVIS registration is the tool DSOs use to report full-time enrollment for their F-1 and M-1 students. It is best practice to conduct SEVIS registration at least two times during the school year. If there are not two distinct school sessions that are defined by a school registration or classes beginning and ending, then use the beginning of a common school break to mark the end of one session and the return from that break to mark the start of a new session.
Confirm Session Length
If during student SEVIS registration, DSOs request a session that lasts longer than 183 days, yellow in-line date error messaging and a confirmation check box will appear. The DSOs must either click the box to confirm the entered session dates are correct, or correct the session dates.
Confirm Break Length
If during student SEVIS registration, DSOs request a school break that lasts longer than 152 days, yellow in-line date error messaging and a confirmation check box will appear. The DSOs must either click the box to confirm the entered session dates are correct, or correct the session dates.
Initial Student Registration
Below is a timeline explaining a breakdown of Initial Registration events.
DSOs must not register Initial students in SEVIS before the student:
- Has been admitted into the Unites States in F-1 or M-1 status, as appropriate.
- Has enrolled in a full course of study at the school.
- Provides the DSO their current U.S. residence address.
To avoid correction requests due to a change in student information or circumstances, DSOs should not register Initial students in SEVIS more than 30 days before their program start date.
To register an initial student in SEVIS:
1. Go to the Student Information page.
2. Click Registration. The Registration page opens.
3. Enter the registration information:
|Relevant Information
|Current Session Start Date (CSSD) *
|Date the school's current session begins:
|Current Session End Date (CSED) *
| Date the student's current session ends:
|Next Session Start Date (NSSD) *
|Date the student's next session begins:
|The student is in the last session of his/her program
|Click this check box if this is the student's last session.
|Study/Research Abroad
|Click this check box if the student will be engaged in study and/or research abroad.
|Click this box if the student will be engaged in research or writing for a thesis or dissertation.
Foreign Address*
U.S. Address*
Note: If the student is a commuter student whose country of citizenship is Mexico or Canada, click in the Commuter Student check box. A U.S. address is not required for border commuter students.
Note for transfer students: DSOs should indicate that the transfer was completed and provide the date it was completed. Example: "Transfer completed 08/20/2015."
There are three auto-filled fields:
- Current Session Start Date: During initial student registration, this will prepopulate with the Initial Session Start Date. This field can be edited.
- Length of Session: Calculated from the Current Session Start Date and Current Session End Date. (Requires DSO confirmation if current session is more than 183 days.)
- Length of the break: Calculated from the Current Session End Date and the Next Session Start Date. (Requires DSO confirmation if length of break is more than 152 days.)
4. Enter required U.S. Address information through the modal.
5. Click Submit. Review the information.
6. Click one of the following:
- Cancel: Cancels the action and returns the user to the Student Information page.
- Update Information: Submits the registration. A message indicates the update was successful.
- Print I-20: Prints the Form I-20. The Form I-20 Issue Reason changes from Initial to Continued Attendance.
The Form I-20 Issue Reason for M-1 transferring students remains "Transfer" until USCIS approves the M-1 Transfer.
DSOs are not required to print the Form I-20. If you choose to print the form, remember to sign it before giving the form to the student. The student should also sign the Form I-20.
- Return to View Record: Returns the user to Student Information page. The newly added information is now listed.
Active Student Registration
Below is a timeline explaining a breakdown of Active Student Registration events.
DSOs report active student registration the same way they report initial registration. The following information is required upon continuing registration:
- U.S. Physical Address.
- Email address. (This is not required for F-1 students in K-12 or M-1 students under the age of 14.)
- U.S. or foreign telephone number, or confirmation that the student does not have a telephone. (This is not required for F-1 students in K-12 or M-1 students under the age of 14.)
Records missing the above information will have a flag at the top of the Student Information page.
DSOs can register active students (continuing registration), with E-mail address and/or Telephone number flags by entering the email address and telephone number:
- Into the Personal/Contact information and then registering the record.
- Directly into the Registration: Active Student page at the point of registration. (See below.)
To register an active student in SEVIS:
1. Goto the Student Information page.
2. Click Registration. The Registration: Active Student page opens.
When registering an active student, the Current Session Start Date will be whatever the DSO entered in previous registration action.
3. Enter the required registration information:
- Current Session Start Date: Date the student's current session begins.
- Current Session End Date: Date the student's current session ends.
- Next Session Start Date: Date the students next academic session begins.
- Telephone information: If necessary, and the field is not already completed.
- Email information: If necessary, and the field is not already completed.
8. Enter any other information that may have changed.
9. Click Update Information. The Update Successful message displays.
10. Click Return to view record, or Print I-20.
Mass Registration
It is possible to register groups of students simultaneously. For information on Mass Registration, see the SEVIS Help Hub on Study in the States.
Between School Sessions
If the break between school sessions is more than 152 days, SEVIS will request DSO-confirmation that the dates are correct.
Annual Breaks
Schools have different annual breaks. These periods generally occur during school sessions, like Thanksgiving in the fall or spring breaks. These breaks can be included in school sessions without creating another registration event around them. F-1 and M-1 students are in legal status during annual breaks.
Here is an example of fall registration that includes a winter break:
Annual Vacations
Annual vacations vary between schools. F-1 students are in legal status during annual vacations, once they have been enrolled for a full academic year. In addition to being eligible for annual vacation, the F-1 students must plan to register for the next session.
M-1 students do not have annual vacation periods. They must stay fully enrolled, except for any periods between back-to-back sessions.
Annual vacations can also be included in registration dates. Here is an example of an F-1 summer vacation that is calculated into spring registration:
Manage Registration
Student Alerts
SEVIS generates alert lists for schools with student records that need attention. Several of these alerts are related to the registration process.
- DSOs are strongly encouraged to check the alert lists on a regular basis.
- See the Alerts and Lists article on the SEVIS Help Hub
|Alert Name
|Possible Actions to Be Taken
|Active Students Requiring Registration
|Students in Initial Status with Port of Entry Records
Students in Initial status who have U.S. port of entry records and are attending your school.
|Students Past Program Start Date Awaiting Change of Status
Students whose change of status to F-1 or M-1 is pending with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Note: DSOs must know which nonimmigrants are allowed to study while waiting change of status to F-1 or M-1
Defer the Program Start Date to the next available session.
Note: DSOs should not register students in SEVIS until their change of status to F-1 or M-1 has been approved. However, SEVIS will auto-cancel records in Initial status within 60 days after the Program Start Date. Therefore, these pending change of status records should be deferred until the next available session.
|Transfer-In Students Not Registered By Program Start Date
Students who have transferred to your school and whose records have been changed from Draft to Initial status.
Students Lists
Each school has several lists that categorize their F-1 and M-1 students. The following lists are related to the registration process. The lists give an idea of how many students may need attention at the next registration process.
- DSOs are strongly encouraged to check the alert lists on a regular basis.
- See the Alerts and Lists article on the SEVIS Help Hub
|List Name
|Initial Status Students
|Active Status Students
|Students who are registered and are in status.
|Students With a Pending Change of Status Request
|Students with a pending change of status to F-1 or M-1.
|Students With a Requested or Pending Extension Request
|Students Authorized to Drop Below Full Course
|Students Transferring In
Students in the process of transferring into your school.
Note: This list may contain both completed Forms I-20 and Forms I-20 still in Draft status.
|Students Requesting Reinstatement
Students waiting for reinstatement adjudication.
Defer Initial Students and Students with Pending Change of Status Applications
DSOs may need to defer a student's Program Start Date to a later date, in order to avoid SEVIS auto-cancellation for certain records in Initial Status. The Manage Initial Program and Session Dates topic on the SEVIS Help Hub describes how to do this. For example:
- Student is not able to arrive in time to begin the program as scheduled.
- USCIS has not approved the student's change of status to F or M status in time to begin the session.
- Deferring the Program Start Date allows the student to continue to use the same SEVIS ID and I-901 SEVIS Fee payment.
DSOs cannot defer the program for transfer-in students. This requires a request to Change to Program Dates.
Cancelling Initial Students
- DSOs should cancel a student's SEVIS record if:
- Student will not attend the school.
- Student has not entered the United States.
- Cancelling a student's SEVIS record prevents the student from using that particular Form I-20 to enter the country at a later time.
- See the Cancel SEVIS Record in Initial Status article in the SEVIS Help Hub.
Reduced Course Load
Before registering students who are not taking a full course load, determine whether those students are eligible for a Reduced Course Load. DSOs must know the school's full course load policy, as it relates to federal regulations. If a student needs a Reduced Course Load, the DSO should process an Authorization to Drop Below Full Course for the student's record at the point of registration.
View Current and Past Registration Actions
When DSOs need to see any previous registration actions, they can view the action in the student's Event History. The DSO uses the following, sortable Event History columns to get details about a specific registration event:
|Event Name
|Registration, either Initial or Active.
|Event Date
|Date and time the action (registration) was conducted.
|Resulting Status
|Student's record status after the action was taken.
|Performed By
|School official who took the action (registration).
To open the correct registration action, click the green plus sign to open the field. SEVIS displays the old (previous) value and the new (current) value for the following fields:
- Current Session End Date.
- Next Session Start Date.
- Last Session – Indicates if the student is/was in the last session of the program.
- Thesis/Dissertation – Indicates if the student is/was working on a thesis or dissertation.
- Study/Research Abroad – Indicates if the student is/was studying or conducting research outside of the United States.
- Length of Next Break/Vacation.
Correcting Registration
DSOs can correct or update registration session dates by entering another registration.
However, if a DSO finds a student record that is in the wrong status, there are several ways to correct this data in a student record.
- If an initial student record was registered or canceled within the last 15 days, PDSO Correction Requests allow the PDSO to return the record to Initial status.
- DSOs may also request a Change to Student Status.
- For more complicated data fixes, the P/DSO can submit a SEVIS Help Ticket (Data Fix) by calling the SEVIS Help Desk (1-800-892-4829).

Posts Tagged 'bars'
Top-shelf rant
One of my recurrent peeves with bars down under is how so many of them misuse their 'top-shelf'.
And it is not just restricted to local pubs, but many of the classier, up-market establishments are guilty as well.
The 'top-shelf' is supposed to be reserved for the superior quality (and thereby more expensive) spirits and liqueurs; your single barrel Bourbons, single malt Scotch, XO and above Cognacs, premium vodkas and such. Hence the term 'top-shelf drink', as opposed to 'well-drinks' (cheaper liquors that lie in the well of the bar and is easier for the barmen to get to).
A simple storage space for Smirnoff Vodkas is not what the top-shelves are for. Yes, I have seen that for real.
Worse still, as I spotted last night at a trendy local bar, a top-shelf should not be used to display beer-bottles – unless it is a beer-bar; at least not Matilda Bay brews (which mind you are quite decent brews); but especially not…….. Corona Extra Light !!!!
I have vented before about the puzzling fascination Aussies seem to have for this watery ghastliness, especially with the insufferable lime wedges. At least there is no accounting for bad tastes.
But to place the stuff on a top-shelf is pure sacrilege.
1: note that at a newsagent, the word has different connotations.

Since 2008 we have been running transformative learning events, otherwise know as the PDC, here in Chile. Since this time almost 400 people from all over Chile and Latin America have graduated with a permaculture design certificate recognised by the Permaculture Research Intitute. 10% of these people have taken the course free, or by work trade. But we just cant do it for everyone.
Meanwhile there is an education revolution taking place, our youth rising up and saying enough is enough. They are not only protesting for a new education system, but for structural change of a representative democracy and capitalist system that puts economy before life.
Little do the masses of students know it, but an education revolution is happening right under their noses, right here in El Manzano. And our advice to them has always been like this:
We currently have some 180 or so young low income Chilenos on our waiting list for a scholarship. With a meagre USD$600 you can help a young leader to find empowerment and begin a lifelong learning journey. We are trying to raise USD$2400 to support 4 student in January 2012. You can read about our courses here.

Here we are at the end of August, on the brink of heading into Fall. With the coming of Fall, there are crisp cool days, lengthening shadows, and a time for all things paranormal. What better way to get you in the spirit for the upcoming Halloween season than with a good, witchy read? I am pleased to be on The Family Magic Tour hosted by Candace's Book Blog and Promotions. For my tour spot today, I have a review and giveaway. So let's get to the good stuff.
Here is my review:
Family Magic by Patti Larsen
Family Magic by Patti Larsen is a young adult paranormal novel that won 1st place in World's Best Story contest and is published by Premiere.
Her mom's a witch. Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary.
Sydlynn Hayle's life couldn't be more complicated. Trying to please her coven, starting over in a new town, and fending off a bully cheerleader who hates her are just the beginning of her troubles. What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.
Paperback, 466 pages
Publisher: Premiere
Release date:May 2015

Four Stars: A fun, coming of age witch read.
Sydlynn once again finds herself muddling through another boring ceremony. At sixteen, Syd is the daughter of a powerful witch and a demon. Syd should be excited at the prospect of one day leading the coven, but she wants nothing to do with magic. Syd can't wait until the day she turns eighteen so she can renounce her magic and live a normal life. Unfortunately for Syd, things in her new town are about to take a strange turn. Darkness is coming, and something is after Syd's family. As the witches fall, Syd and her inner demon are the only thing standing between her family and destruction. Will Syd stand up and seize her power?
What I Liked:
- What a fun, witchy read. This is a book with a teen witch who is dealing with plenty of normal teenage angst, as well as some paranormal problems as well. I thought this was a good coming of age novel with lots of interesting paranormal characters from witches, to demons, vampires and even a talking cat. If you want a witchy read a bit on the lighter side, definitely consider Family Magic.
- Syd at first, was a difficult character for me to warm up to. She starts out a bit bratty and self centered, but in fairness, aren't many sixteen year olds a bit dramatic and egocentric? Syd is struggling with another new school, her magic and bullying at school. Finally, Syd decides enough is enough and she takes a stand. At this point, Syd does a strong turn around, and from there on out, I liked her. Once she starts to accept who she is, she takes control and stands up for herself and fights for her family. She goes from a brat to a strong witch who is willing to fight for those she loves.
- I liked the eclectic cast of paranormal characters. There are vampires, witches, a demon cat and even a faerie. I think what I liked the most about the characters was that none of them were scary and evil, not even the demons. This was a light paranormal read, perfect for younger readers.
- When Syd was bullied by the school's mean girl, I did an inward groan. I can't stand the whole mean girl theme, but I ended up being pleasantly surprised. Syd ends up doing something unexpected, and everything turns around. I was impressed at the way it all played out. I thought it sent out a great message for teens.
- I was also happy that there wasn't a romance. There is a set up for two potential love interests, but by the end of the book, neither relationship had progressed beyond friendship. I was thinking a love triangle was in the works, but instead there ended up being no romance. I liked that the romance didn't develop, and I was even more pleased that there wasn't a love triangle. For all of you romance fans, no worries, the foundation is in place for a romance down the road.
- This is an independent book, and one you shouldn't miss. It is well written, entertaining, clean and polished. An indie gem!
- The book ends with a nice, solid resolution. No cliffhangers or nagging questions. I love when the first book in a series avoids the cliffhanger.
And The Not So Much:
- One issue I had with the story was that I thought it lacked a bit in development and explanation. The reader is introduced to witches, vampires and demons, but there isn't a lot of description on these entities as far as their powers, origins and all that. For instance, Syd's uncle is a vampire. How does the brother of a witch become a vampire? There was no information on the vampires. I was also bothered by the fact that there was not much information on Syd's demon father. I would love to get to know him more, and I would be interested to know the details on how a demon marries a witch. I was also confused by the lack of explanation on the powers, what are edges in powers? I hope that in the next book, the author takes time to flesh things out a bit more.
- For me, it was rather apparent from the get go who the villain was. No big surprise when the perpetrator was exposed. I was disappointed that the family didn't clue in sooner.
- What was the deal with the senile grandmother? Was she crazy because of old age or was there something more to it? I struggled a bit with the fact that a once powerful witch was reduced to a crazed, drooling old lady.
Family Magic is a good, fun, paranormal read perfect for younger teens. It is a coming of age story with a paranormal twist. I enjoyed watching, Syd, the heroine, grow and mature as she learned to accept who she was. I also liked that all the paranormal entities were of the friendly variety. This is a read you can hand to your younger read with confidence. I enjoyed this one, and I will be on the lookout for the sequels.
I received a copy of this book from a tour promoter in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own, and I was not compensated for this review.
About the Author:
Patti is an award-winning author with a passion for the paranormal.

June Meeting
At our June meeting we
had Judge Bennett Braun from the 12th Judicial Circuit Court of Will
County as our guest speaker, Judge Braun told the 75 members in attendance
about District of Columbia v. Heller,
case in which the U.S. Supreme
Court on June 26, 2008, held (5–4) that the Second
Amendment guarantees an individual right to possess firearms
independent of service in a state militia and to use
firearms for traditionally lawful purposes, including self-defense within the
home. It was the first Supreme Court case to explore the meaning of the Second
Amendment since United
States v. Miller (1939).
Judge Braun also explain the background in both cases from picking the right

cases. Thank you again Judge Braun.

Microsoft Shells Out $486M for Research Firm
Page 1 of 1
In an effort to shore up its search and e-commerce businesses in Europe, Microsoft today announced that it will acquire Greenfield Online, a research firm that operates shopping comparison sites, for about $486 million.
Greenfield, based in Connecticut, owns Ciao.com, a popular shopping portal in Europe, where Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is looking to expand its Live Search business.
"The team at Ciao has built a passionate consumer community based on intuitive technology and extensive merchant relationships that we believe will deliver incremental benefit to the Microsoft Live Search platform," Tami Reller, Microsoft's vice president and CFO for windows and online services, said in a statement.
Ciao is something of a social networking community themed around shopping. In addition to the reviews and price comparisons, Ciao features advice from shopping experts and profile pages where members can register their product preferences and write on each other's walls. The site earns revenue from selling ads and retailers that pay to place a link to their stores on the portal.
The latest acquisition follows Microsoft's failed bid to buy out Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO), which Microsoft had pursued aggressively through the first half of the year in an attempt to better compete with search leader Google (NASDAQ: GOOG). After four dramatic months of stop-start negotiations, talks formally ended in June after the companies were unable to agree on price.
Domestically, Microsoft holds 9 percent of the search market compared to Google's 62 percent, according to online metrics firm comScore (NASDAQ: SCOR). Microsoft's position is even slimmer in Europe, where it performs just 2 percent of all search queries and Google enjoys a commanding 79 percent market share.
Microsoft also trails Russia's Yandex and eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) in search queries in Europe, according to comScore.
The purchase follows Microsoft's acquisition of Farecast, a site that allows people to compare air fares, the software giant's most recent move toward building out its e-commerce platform. Standard & Poors analyst Jim Yin said that Greenfield will be a solid addition to Microsoft's still-nascent Internet services unit.
"We think [the Greenfield] purchase would strengthen Microsoft's online platform and is consistent with strategy of simplifying tasks related to online transactions," Yin wrote in a research note. "We see long-term benefits of increased investment, but project losses in Microsoft's online service business for next couple of years."
While Microsoft sees the deal as a way to build out the Live Search platform, Greenfield's chief business is the Internet survey solutions (ISS) division, which conducts market research surveys.
Microsoft said that it had found an unnamed buyer to acquire the ISS division, which accounted for more than half of Greenfield's net revenue last quarter.
Microsoft's offer of $17.50 per share trumps an earlier bid for Greenfield (NASDAQ: SRVY) from Quadrangle Group, which had entered into formal agreement to purchase the firm for $15.50 per share. Greenfield will pay Quadrangle $5 million for terminating the merger.
Greenfield had announced on Aug. 26 that it had received a better offer and was canceling the Quadrangle deal, but it did not name the buyer.
Microsoft expects the purchase of Greenfield and the disposal of the survey business both to close in the fourth quarter.

EVAN'S GATE: A Constable Evans Mystery
In Agatha winner Bowen's perfectly paced, deftly choreographed Welsh cozy, her eighth to feature Constable Evan Evans (after 2003's Evan Only Knows ), Evan looks into two eerily similar abduction cases—one old, one new. When five-year-old Ashley Sholokhov goes missing during a seaside excursion, suspicion points to her Russian father, who's estranged from her mother. Meanwhile, to celebrate the 80th birthday of curmudgeonly gentleman sheep farmer Tomos Thomas, his middle-aged progeny return to the grassy, boulder-strewn hills of Llanfair, carrying blame, survivor's guilt and unanswered questions concerning the long-ago disappearance of Sarah, Tomos's granddaughter. The parallels between Sarah and Ashley weigh heavily upon Evan, who's eager to live up to his recent promotion to the Plainclothes Division. In desperation, Evan sticks his neck out a bit too far in this gorgeous and unruly terrain, where a hike in the hills can become treacherous when the sun goes down. Fortunately, his charming schoolmarm betrothed, Bronwen, is there to provide solace. Bowen delivers an enchanting portrait of Wales with genuine, flawed characters, a modicum of humor and plenty of red herrings to keep the detective constable and the reader guessing. Agent, Meg Ruley. (Apr. 16)

Monday - Friday 9:00 AM - 5:30 PM, Pacific Standard Time
The Feast of Saints Peter and Paul is a liturgical feast in honour of the martyrdom in Rome of the apostles Saint Peter and Saint Paul, which is observed on 29 June, and celebrated in Israel on July 12th, and July 13th.
Highlights of the Christian Event
The feast is celebrated in Capernaum on the Sea of Galilee (celebrated July 12th). The Feast of the Twelve Apostles is celebrated in the Church of the Apostles in Tiberias (celebrated July 13th).
Holy Land Sites to Consider Visiting
Capernaum (Matthew 4:13, Matthew 13:54, Matthew 17:24, Luke 7, Mark 1:2, John 4:46 John 4:54) the center of the Lords ministry, and where he preformed many miracles, and it's in Capernaum where Peter's mother-in-law lived and was healed (Luke 4:38-40).
Bethsaida, the birthplace of Saints Peter, Andrew and Philip - the ancient fishing village near the place where the Jordan river enters the Sea of Galilee.
and see the Ancient Jesus Boat the remains of a 2,000 year old boat that was used at the time of Jesus and his disciples.
where Peter came from Lydda to raise Tabitha from the dead (Acts 9:36-42), and where the apostle stayed at the house of Simon the Tanner.
where St. Peter baptizes the first man that is not a Jew, and it is from Caesarea where the message of the Lord is first introduced to the Gentiles. Paul was captured and imprisoned by the Romans, and after two years in prison he sails from Caesarea to his country Tarsus.

Cabaret, according to local cabaret pro Ken Haller, is the art of telling stories through song—which means it's a form of theatre. A well-constructed cabaret act is ultimately a kind of one-act play, which is why actors—who have the advantage of understanding dramatic form—often create some of the best cabaret.
Which brings us to "Wonderful Enough," the cabaret debut by local actor Ben Watts this Saturday, May 30, at the Kranzberg.
I first became aware of Mr. Watts' talent back in July of 2009 when we both appeared in Stray Dog Theatre's "Rocky Horror Show" (him as Riff Raff, me as the Narrator). He had an obvious gift for comedy and a clear, high tenor voice that had what the late Anna Russell once referred to as "a good cutting edge"—very helpful given the then-primitive state of Stray Dog's sound system (it has since gotten a lot better). His performance as Prior Walter in Stray Dog's "Angels in America" in April of 2012 demonstrated that he could handle dramatic material as well.
|Carol Schmidt
I came in towards the end of the run through, so I missed some (but by no means all) of the comedy numbers. The set of ballads I saw, though, was pretty impressive. It began with a blues-infused "St. James Infirmary" (complete with a bit of Leon Redbone vocalise) before moving on to Kurt Weill's world-weary "Barbara Song" (from "Threepenny Opera") and finally a beautifully operatic arrangement by music director and pianist Carol Schmidt of Jim Steinman's "Total Eclipse of the Heart."
|Tim Schall
I don't want to go into too much detail, since part of the fun of a cabaret show lies in the element of surprise. So I'll just say that if what I heard Tuesday is any indication, "Wonderful Enough" will be a welcome debut, and an important addition to the ever-expanding cabaret scene in St. Louis. Mr. Watts, Ms. Schmidt, and director (and local cabaret pro) Tim Schall appear to have put together a very solid evening with a well-balanced song list that cuts across multiple genres.
Ben Watts' "Wonderful Enough" is this Saturday, May 30, at 8 p.m. at the Kranzberg Center, 501 North Grand in Grand Center. For more information, visit the show web site.

Setting your heart in stone to make it to the top of your game and never looking back has been done by many successful people and it has even worked for them somewhere along the way they found everything they needed but also ended up lonely.
That alone is enough to make my heart ache, imagine you have all the money in the world that you ever wanted, success is on your side every step of the way, yet you spend your nights cold and alone, you might as well be dead.
One thing is always certain the reasons for building those walls is never the same, most of the time yes it is for money but other times there is some deeper, darker reasoning behind it and somewhere along the path to success you will find yourself broken into so many pieces and no amount of money in the world will put you back together.
In the new Maisey Yates read I was shown how two people each one successful and ready to fight for anything they wanted, meet their match in each other, however both have erected walls of stone and ice around their hearts and vowed to never be the people they once were, and nothing and no one can break through the barriers.
The character of Julia was a strong and feisty heroine, I loved her from the word go. I liked the idea that she is always dressed in her signature black which lets her scare of any competitor who might come her way, all but one I am -always-in-control-of-making-you-hot Ferro. The man makes her blood boil to the point of distraction and no not in a good way, well not until she takes the time to get real close and personal. But being a kick-ass fighter has gotten her where she wanted to be and no man is going to stop her winning streak. Reading about the strength she finds to get up and move on after a horrifying experience was awesome! The author showed that woman are much tougher than they look but also that not being yourself is good but only to a certain point, thereafter you need to let go.
The character of Ferro was another one of this author's dark hero's I have come to love. He is just as Julia a fighter that has fought his way to the top of his game, he has it all but most importantly he is always in control. I loved that he was addicted to control as it matched with his past perfectly, his past though was a pretty shocking one, one I certainly did not expect, at first I did not like the idea of it all very much as it just seemed so very dirty, but as the book moved along I found myself remembering that everyone has done something they are not proud of in order to survive.
The dialogue was really great, I got moments of conflict as these two character go head to head to reach for the top. There was also some pretty great lines of control and satisfaction that left me as reader with a almost eerie feeling of being torn between loving the hero and hating him.
The author also let both Ferro and Julia have more of less the same issue in life, both have erected these walls around their hearts but more or less for the same reason, and no here is where I am keeping the secret, you will have to read it to find out what that reason is. I will say that it made the book very interesting as it brought the characters down the the same level even whilst both still at the top of the success ladder.
Backdrop settings were nicely described by the author, she kept it exciting yet fun and also a little dark and cold, letting it blend in with the emotions of the characters. Ambition, lust, control, power were all apart of this read and left me as reader with a sense of wonder at just what people will do to make it to the top.
I highly recommend this read for readers that like sunshine-love filtering in through the deep dark recesses of life and how money will never bring you happiness.
5/5 star review
' She's dark he is even darker, together than will find the light"
Reviewed by Nancy Crocker
Fierce rivals in business Julia Anderson and Ferro Calvaresi agree to work together on a project. When this project is over it is gloves off and back to business as usual. One other small thing, they will have to pretend to be lovers. Shouldn't be a problem for two sexy, wealthy adults, but both of them have a troubled pass.
Julia is the richest woman in the world at the young age of twenty five. A confirmed geek she has hired a team to dress her, do her hair and makeup and teach her even how to sit. But a traumatic past has made her Leary of men. I loved her character, she was quirky, spunky, brilliant, talented and beautiful and didn't even know it.
Ferro Calvaresi has woman vying for his attention, but they are just arm candy. Growing up on the streets of Rome, he has made himself into the richest man in the world, but at what cost? A past he can never seem to let go of. He might be rich and handsome but he a VERY lonely man.
It's just a matter of time before these two hook up and let me tell you, it was hot. But I also half to admit I had issues with how he treated Julia after their first time together. I get he was a tortured soul himself, still doesn't make me have to like it. Maisey does a really good job of tackling two issues "one with each of the main characters" that you don't always see in a Harlequin Romance.
4.5/5 stars
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Recently I spotted a girl in a big shopping centre. Black very short mini skirt, black opaque tights, tight top with long sleeves, good legs, perfect figure. When I got closer I almost oooohed loudly - the girl was around 60yo!
If the skin and face is covered, age, face, race and even gender (in some cases) become not important.
