By describing with minuteness and scriptural accuracy, the sources, qualities, and degrees of spiritual comfort,' as distinguished from the joy of the hypocrite and of the self-deceiver, the Author has accomplished a task which will be highly acceptabl to those of his readers, who are desirous of ascertaining the sincerity of their religion; and may prove useful to some who have been misled by the false raptures of the mind.' By pointing out the way in which, for the most part, Christians lose their spiritual comfort, and the unhappy consequences which frequently result from the loss of their former consolations, he has indirectly furnished them with the most powerful incentives to unremitting vigilance, to habitual devotion, and to orñamental piety. By judiciously distinguishing between those mental depressions which arise from constitutional maladies, and those which are purely religious, by defining the sym o.us and degrees of religious melancholy, and by suggesting the most probable means of cure, he has acted the part of a skilful spiritual physician, and has vindicated religion from the fals accusations and calumnies of its enemies. And, finally, by directing Christians to the certain means of obtaining the restoration, increase, and establishment of their spiritual comfort, he has aimed at co-operating with his Divine Master in the delightful employment of healing the broken in heart, and binding up their wounds
The many despicable attempts made by the opponents of Christianity, to charge upon religion, so replete with Divine consolatios, the gloom and mental depressions with which some of its sincere professors have been affected, and which are clearly attributable to physical causes, have rendered it in employment not unworthy a Christian Divine, to en leavour to wipe off the reproach, and to prove, by the most convincing evidence, that such a system of religiou, belief can never either produce or cherish this morbid state of feeling, but, on the contrary, that it is the best, and, in many cases, the only eifi ctual remedy for what is frequently, though rather incorrectly styled, religious melancholy. When it is boldly affirmed, by the enemies of truth and piety, that the darkness which shrouded, and the mental sorrows which imbittered the last days of the revered author of the "Task," were occasioned by the ' gloomy doctrines of his creed,' and the austerities of his religious associates,' it is desirable not only that this specific charge should be disproved, but that it should be demonstrated-a demonstration by no means difficult-that those very doctrines which they caluniate, when rightly understood, open the purest sources of consolation; and that the devotional habits, which they pronounce austere, are capable of yielding the most refined and exquisite enjoyment. Such a conviction, we con
ceive, the work before us is eminently calculated to produce on an impartial and unprejudiced mind; though it may not be foun soin ly argumentative to m.et the objections, or bear dows the calumbies of determined adversaries and old blasphemers There are, we doubt not, many Christians, whose feelings w lead them to peruse these pages with much b nefit to themselves, and with corresponding sentiments of gratitude to the benevolent Author.
Art. VIII. 1. The Miscellaneous Papers of John Smeaton, Civi Engineer, &c. F.R S. Comprising his Communications to the Royal Society printed in the Philosophical Transactions, forming a 4th Volume to his Reports 4to. pp. viii 208. with 12 plates. Price 1l. 11s. 6d. London. Long an and Co. 814.
2. Recherches Expérimentales sur l'Eau et le Vent. Considérés comme Forces Motrices applicables aux Moulins et autres Machines à mouvement circulaire, &c. Suivies d'Expériences sur la transmission du Mouvement et la Collision des Corps.. Par M J. Smeaton, de la Société Royale de ondres. Ouvrage traduit de l' inglais, et précédé d'une Introduction Par M P. S Girard, Ingénieur en Chef des Ponts et haussées, Directeur du Canal du l'Ourcq et des Eaux de Paris, Membre de l'Institut d Egypte, &c. 4to. pp. xxviii. 104. avec 5 planches Paris Courcier. London. Dulau and Co. 1810.
SMEATON was an excellent civil engineer, and had a very happy knack at devising and making experiments; but he was defective in habits of abstraction, and had far too limited an acquaintance with mathematics, to allow of his attaining eminence as a natural philosopher. It happened, therefore, that when he was called into action in the line of his profession, he generally succeeded; while, on the other hand, when he sat down to speculate in his closet, and to give a digest of his thoughts on paper, he frequently failed. This, indeed, is almost an inevitable consequence of the structure of the human mind, and the organization of society. Scarcely any man is so circumstanced as to share his time equally between the pursuits of active life, and those of the contem, laive or investigating philosopher; it therefore happens either that habits of business, of habits of meditation, obtain an undue ascendency, and that a character is produced of limited powers fitted only for particular exertions Let it not, then, be imagined that we mean to complain because we cannot class Smeaton with Newton, ant Leibnitz, and Dalen.bert; it would equally unreason to regret, that Newton cannot be classe Sith Arkwright and orind ley. They have all contributed either to the extension of human knowledge, or to the multiplication of human comforts
and advantages; yet, certainly, in different ways, and doubtless, we may add, to augment the aggregate of good.
It would be unfair to regard the volume before us as an object of minute criticism. Many of the papers it contains, were published more than forty years ago. They are well known to all who are moderately acquainted with the inventions and discoveries of the last century; so that the principal necessity for the publication of the present volume, seems to arise from the circumstance of the papers they comprise being scattered through several volumes of the Philosophical Transactions, often diffi cult of attainment, and always expensive in the purchase
The Reports of this excellent engineer were published a few years ago, in three quarto volumes and the miscellaneous papers are now collected into a fourth, which, with the well known »ccount of the Eddystone Light-house, will constitute a compl te and uniform edition of his works. The papers now brought together amount to eighteen, of which we need do little more than express the titles, as below.
1. A letter from Mr Smeaton to Mr. John Ellicott, F.R.S. con. cerning some improvements made by himself in the air-pump.
2. A description of an engine for raising water by fire, invented by Mr De oura.
3 n account of some experiments upon a machine for measuring the way of a ship at sea.
4 An account of some improvements of the mariner's compass. 5 An experimental enquiry concerning the natural powers of water and wind to turn mills and other machines, depending on a circular motion.
. 6. An experimental examination of the quantity and proportion of mechanic power necessary to be employed, in giving different degrees of velocity to heavy bodies from a state of rest.
7 New fundamental experiments upon the collision of bodies.
8 A description of a new tackle or combination of pulleys.
9 A discourse concerning the menstrual parallax arising from the mutual gravitation of the earth and moon, and its influence on the observation of the sun and planets.
10. A description of a new method of observing the heavenly bodies out of the meridian.
- 11. An observation of a solar eclipse, June 4th, 1769, at Austhorpe
12 An account of the right ascension and declination of Mercury out of the meridian, near his greatest elongation, September, 1786, made by Mr. Smeaton, with an equatorial micrometer of his
awn invention and workmanship: with the investigation of a method of allowing for refraction in such kind of observations
13. A description of an improvement in the application of the quadrant of altitude to a celestial globe.
14. A description of a new pyrometer, with a table of experi
15. A description of a new hygrometer.
16 Observations on the graduation of astronomical instruments, with an explanation of the method of the late Mr. Henry Hindley's dividing circles into any given number of parts.
17. Remarks on the different temperature of the air at Eddystone, from that observed at Plymouth, between the 7th and 8th of July, 1757.
n account of the effects of lightning upon the steeple and church of Lestwithiel, in Cornwall.'
These papers vary nearly as much in their importance and merit, as they do in reference to the subjects on which they treat. Most of the instruments therein described are ingenious, although they are now in great measure superseded by subsequent improvements. They are, nevertheless, interesting to all who wish to trace the order of inventions. The paper in which our Author describes Hindley's dividing instrument, is peculiarly interesting. We have often felt surprised, that it has never been inserted among the additions to the Nautical Almanac. Such a disquisition ought to be circulated as widely as possible, that it may fall within the reach of all who are engaged in the manufacture of astronomical and mathematical instruments.
But the most valuable paper in this volume is, doubtless, the fifth, in the order of the preceding enumeration. Our Author, it is true, assumes a vague, inadequate, and improper measure of mechanic power at the outset of this inquiry; yet his mistake is easily corrected by the judicious theorist, who can at once apply the true measure, i. e. the quantity of motion extinguished or produced, to his principal results, and thus make safe deductions from them. Altogether, these experiments on the force of wind and water, and their efficacy in moving mills, are extremely important. They have tended greatly to improve the construction of mills of both kinds; and we do not hesitate to say, that after the lapse of half a century, they are superior in point of correctness and utility to any that have been made, the admirable experiments of M Bossut not excepted.
In the experimental examination of the quantity and proportion of mech nic power, Mr Smeaton has employed much talent and ingenuity to little purpose, by reason of inadequate conceptions of the things under discussion. He does not mean to indicate by mechanical power what Newton intends by momentum; and then, for want of distinguishing between what he
really meant, and what he fancied he meant, involves himself and his readers in needless perplexity
So again, in the paper on the collision of bodies, our Author bewilders himself for want of a due comprehension of the laws of collision, and the mathematical formulæ in which they are included. The paper exhibits an ingenious apparatus for making experiments in reference to this subject; and that alone renders it of any value.
On the whole, therefore, we are of opinion that the reputation of Mr. Smeaton would have been better consulted by a judicious abridgement of these papers, in which errors had been suppressed, and any valuable hints or arguments retained, than by an entire republication. There may be some, however, who may be anxious to possess all that this excellent engineer has written; to such the present volume will be very acceptable.
Of M. Girard's translation we need say but little It is faithful, but neither critical nor scientific. In the Introduction the Translator has drawn together, and compared, the principal results of Smeaton, Pareut, Borda, Bossut, and Coulomb. In the m in they mutually confirm each other; and, altogether, are admirably calculated to furnish practical men with useful and safe maxims.
Art. IX. A Voyage to the Isle of Elba; with Notices of other Islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Translated from the French of Arsenne Thiébaut de Berneaud, Emeritus Secretary of the Class of Literature, History and Antiquities of the Italian Academy, &c. By William Jerdan. London. Longman. Hurst, and Co. 8vo. P. 183.
BUONAPARTE in exile, and the Bourbons at Paris! Among the many marvellous events of the times in which we live, the termination of the late dreadful contest, in respect to the individual who figured as the principal character in the great drama, cannot be consid red the least remarkable. That man, at whose nod empires shook to their foundations; by whose fiat kings were created out of nothing, and made to return to nothing with equal ase and rapidity; who caused the whole continent of Europe to turn pale before him, and even, at times, infused a degree of fear into some of the stout-hearted sons of Britain; that man, in a word, who seemed to rule the destiny of half the globe, is now the ruler of a petty island, the circuit of which he could make in a single day; and which would scarcely have proved sufficiently extensive to satisfy the moderate desires of the renowned Sancho Panza.
In fact, the whole life, character, and behaviour,' of the hero in question, has, throughout, presented to the observer au

Our Vogue Knitting Cruise also made a stop in Portland, Maine.
Unlike Newport, Rhode Island, and Bar Harbor, which involved a tender (small boat to get from cruise ship to port), Portland has a deep water harbor that accommodates cruise ships. We could just walk on and walk off! With proper documentation, of course.
We had a trolley tour of Portland, which ended at Port Fiber yarn shop. Port Fiber is owned by Casey Ryder, with whom I'd meet up again the following week at Knit Maine.
Designers Mary Jane Mucklestone and Bristol Ivy came to show samples and talk about knitting in Maine. Seeing and touching samples in real life is always so compelling!
Selfies were taken, of course.
You know I'm not much of a yarn stasher. But I love a yarn with a story, and couldn't resist this.
Casey imports and distributes yarn for Cashmere People Yarns. These yarns are ethically sourced, handspun and hand-dyed by women in Tajikstan and Afghanistan.
Each skein has a picture and bio of the spinner, which I find charming. My skein is a two ply fingering weight cashgora, which isn't a blend of cashmere and angora fiber. It's actually from cashgora animals, which are a cross between Russian fiber goats and cashmere-type goats in Tajikstan. My skein is in the Atlantic colorway, which I thought was appropriate for this cruise souvenir. I'm planning to knit a Zephyr shawlette, which starts at the skinny end and I can knit til I run out of yarn. Or if I get wild, I'll design a new thing that's similar. (If you want your LYS to carry this luscious yarn, have them contact Casey Ryder at Port Fiber.)
I also took the opportunity to meet a longtime friend from my piano forum. I've met up with other piano and knitting friends after knowing them online. It's fun to meet in real life; you just pick up the chat where you left off. (The first time I ever did this, DH was worried that I was meeting up with an axe murderer. Hasn't happened yet!)
We went to Gritty's so I could fulfill the lobster roll on my bucket list. It was delicious! But spendy. I think I enjoyed my unphotographed lobster Cobb salad at Stewman's in Bar Harbor even more. Less guilt…it's a salad, right? (And split with a friend…with fries…)
Don't forget I'm giving away my Knit Fit kit; see this blog post for details on how to enter to win! We got these in Bar Harbor, which I previously posted about in order to get this party underway. My next post: O Canada! Two more ports…

This laboratory focuses on both basic and applied research, using biomass (including biowaste) to produce biowaste, and the research of the subsequent processes, such as biogas purification. We do modelling and evaluation of the processes of anaerobic transformation of biomass into biogas and digestate, which may both be used in energy production. We provide basic analytical service for biogas stations and we also evaluate biogas technologies. We test methane production from non-traditional substrate. We also investigate the biomass aerobic degradation process, i.e. composting. New bioreactors, especially lower capacity ones, are being developed.

One requirement that is generally common for all breed registry associations is that a record of the blood type of each bull used in artificial insemination be on file with the respective breed associations. Whether blood typing or DNA analysis is required, it is the responsibility of the owner of record to make certain that compliance is met. This can be accomplished by asking the breed association to mail a test kit.

The spiroindolone drug candidate NITD609 potently inhibits gametocytogenesis and blocks Plasmodium falciparum transmission to Anopheles mosquito vector
Diagana, Thierry, Yeung, Bryan and Sauerwein, Robert (2012) The spiroindolone drug candidate NITD609 potently inhibits gametocytogenesis and blocks Plasmodium falciparum transmission to Anopheles mosquito vector. Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy. ISSN 0066-4804
The global malaria agenda has undergone a reorientation from control of clinical cases to entirely eradicating malaria. For that purpose, a key objective is blocking transmission of malaria parasites from humans to mosquito vectors. The new antimalarial drug candidate NITD609 was evaluated for its transmission reducing potential using a suite off in vitro assays. Using a microscopic readout NITD609 was found to inhibit in a dose dependent-fashion the induction and maturation of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes in vitro. In addition, using the standard membrane feeding assay, NITD609 was also found to be a very effective drug in reducing transmission to Anopheles stephensi mosquito vector. Collectively our data suggest that NITD609 may have potential as a transmission blocking drug in addition to its therapeutic activity against asexual P. falciparum malaria parasites.

Ukraine Rumors Fuel Gold Spike
Weekly Update
The Aden Forecast
Feb. 11: Gold is breaking out on the upside!! [The spot gold price rose 1.26% Friday to $1,860.60 an ounce.] A jumping rise has started and it's being fueled by fears that Russia will soon invade Ukraine. High inflation is also a booster….Gold is ending the week in its best rise in three months, and it's very strong above $1,830.
Gold shares are following gold's strength with the The
NYSE Arca Gold BUGS
index jumping up and approaching its 65-week moving average. It's very strong above 260. Silver is not as robust as gold and the miners, but it's still firm above $22.50, and it would be in a breakout above $25. Keep your positions.

Inflation: Causes and Cures
Talking Points
BMO Capital Markets
Feb. 11: Inflation is a process, not an event. As staggering as the U.S. January CPI was—and it was staggering at 7.5% for the headline and 6.0% for core—it's just one small part of a process that's been underway for well over a year now. There is no single factor to point to that led us here, but instead, a series of unfortunate events. Ultra-easy monetary policies, ultra-stimulative fiscal policies, a global shift to buying goods instead of services, workers unable or unwilling to work, supply-chain snarls, and profound shifts in the global oil market have all conspired to bring us to where we are today. To come back down the inflation mountain, we may need to see a reversal or some relief on every one of these factors. That is shaping up to be a long process.
In the inflation forecasting Olympics, Team Transitory missed the first gate, fell on the first jump, slipped at the first corner…you get the gist. Now, I am far, far too big a person to say 'I told you so' on the inflation front. But faithful readers of this space will know that we've been in the Larry Summers camp for the past year, warning that inflation was going to run a lot hotter and last a lot longer than the consensus expected. Even we have been somewhat taken aback by just how forceful U.S. inflation trends have turned out to be, and have ramped up our estimate on CPI a number of times in the past year. We now expect headline CPI to average more than 6% this year before fading to just below 3% in 2023, both a long, long way from the 1.7% average in the decade prior to the pandemic.

Disruptors, Beware Disruption
Global Investment Strategy
BCA Research
Feb. 11: Tech-stock enthusiasts tend to forget that the disruptors themselves can be disrupted. History is littered with tech companies that failed to keep up with a changing world: RCA,
Polaroid, Atari, Commodore, Novell, Digital, Sinclair, Wang, Iomega, Corel, Netscape, AltaVista, AOL, Myspace, Compaq, Sun, Lucent, 3Com,
Palm, and RIM were all major players in their respective industries, only to fade into oblivion. All but one of the 10 biggest tech names in the
index in 2000 underperformed the broader market by a substantial degree over the subsequent 10 years.
Today, the incentive for startups to emerge has never been stronger. Venture-capital funds are flush with cash. Tech profit margins are near record highs, making challenging the incumbents an increasingly enticing goal. About one-third of the outperformance of U.S. tech stocks since 1996 can be explained by rising relative profit margins, with faster sales growth and relative P/E multiple expansion explaining 45% and 23% of the remainder, respectively.

China's Loan Growth Perks Up
ING Snap
Feb. 10: January usually sees a big increase in China's loan growth from December, as Chinese banks tend to book loans at the beginning of the year. But this year's jump is significant even on a year-on-year basis. This indicates that underlying economic activity is stronger than last year.
loan growth increased 11.5% year over year in January, to CNY3.98 trillion, which means loans outstanding were CNY196.65 trillion by the end of January. Most of the loan growth came from corporate longer-term loans. These corporate loans signal growth in corporate investment. This matches our expectation that investment in semiconductors, telecommunications, healthcare, data privacy, and hardware infrastructure projects started in January. The increase in loan growth indicates positive momentum in investment in the first and second quarters. We should see an increase in services and manufacturing activity [in China] in the area of IT and processing of building materials in a couple of months.

Bullish Commodities Outlook
The Weekly Speculator
Marketfield Asset Management
Feb. 10: For commodities, the path higher has the potential to keep going. Investor flows are far from excessive, and unlike prior peaks such as 2008 and 2011, there has not been a massive expansion of new exploration and development helping boost supply well above consumption. It would appear that the Omicron scare was an excellent buying opportunity for energy in particular, and we suspect that the long period of consolidation for industrial and precious metals will be resolved to the upside. We would note that iron ore has staged an impressive recovery from its 2021 collapse, and that lumber, the boom and bust story of 2021, is once more experiencing a very rapid increase in prices. This is important, since it suggests that even if some key prices recede in 2022, this may prove to be a temporary respite unless underlying demand is clearly impaired (this was obviously not the case with lumber).

Pain Point for Mid-Caps
U.S. Investment Policy Notes
Feb. 10: Deterioration in small-cap stocks has been documented for months, and now that weakness has spread to their mid-cap cousins, according to Lowry Research, a CFRA business. Both mid- and small-caps had been lagging large-caps from a price perspective, as seen in the relative performance charts for the S&P 400 Mid-Cap Index and the S&P 600 Small-Cap Index, which recently set new 52-week lows relative to the
Lowry's Segmented Percent of Operating Companies Only (OCO) Stocks 20% or More Below 52-Week High, which represents the weakest stocks in each capitalization group, currently indicates that small-caps have weakened significantly since July, followed by mid-caps dating from late November. Typically, deteriorating health begins with small-caps and spreads to take mid-caps and finally large-caps. When the latter falls, the market usually can no longer resist the sellers. For now, elevated caution remains warranted.

We Denton Drag It event concludes Pride Month glitter, fundraising
On Saturday, approximately 1,000 people attended We Denton Drag It, a drag show put on by Friends With Benefits Denton, a local nonprofit. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the night went to charities providing safe spaces for LGBTQ youth and fighting sex trafficking.
"We're friends with the nonprofits," said Amber Tyler, secretary of Friends With Benefits. "We create the event, we staff it completely and then the proceeds go to whatever is in need. This year, we have Outreach Denton, which is amazing, and then we have 4theOne, which is something close to my heart. They deal with sex trafficking, and right now it is becoming a big issue that needs to be addressed."
4theOne is a nonprofit that works to find children missing in the area. They work closely with law enforcement, using social media investigations, internet surveillance, and on-location surveillance, all of which are done by volunteers and four of which are licensed private investigators.
Since their inception in 2015, they have found 91 missing minors, the most recent of which had been missing for two years.
"We think [the event] is great," said Vicki Latham, director of marketing and development for 4theOne. "It's wonderful. We just feel blessed that they think of us and are doing this for us."
On stage, DJ Kind Beats — known to friends as Mikey LaCroix — kept the music flowing between performances, provided commentary for the evening, and occasionally, freestyle rap.
"You see a lot of stuff in the media and on Facebook," Lacroix said. "You see a lot of hate. But all I see here is love."
OUTreach Denton works to provides the same types of safe spaces for people who identify as LGBTQ. Aside from taking part in We Denton Drag It, the group also runs a weekly teen youth group, monthly social events for adults and a Valentine's Day Social for the LGBTQ community, as well as other services.
"I think we're at a place right now where [the LGBTQ community] could really use something to look forward to, some fun and some celebration, while also remembering that pride is about the fact that we said, 'We're not going to hide,' that we're going to fight back and we're going to be here no matter what," OUTreach Denton Chair Kamyon Conner said. "I think it'll be great for people to show up in full force."
The headliner of the event was Violet Chachki, winner of season seven of RuPaul's Drag Race, a popular TV show where drag queens compete to become "America's Next Drag Superstar."
"She's [the reason] I came, but all the other queens are awesome, too" 24-year-old Denton resident Jesse Brown said.
Throughout the event, drag queens performed by lip syncing to music and dancing on stage. Performances ranged from five drag muses and a drag king named Hercules performing songs from Disney's "Hercules" to original music from Three the Hardway, Lorelei K and others.
2017 was the first iteration of We Denton Drag It, as the first showcase was planned as a fundraiser as Promise House, a homeless shelter for runaway and at-risk teens in need of donations and goods for its shelter.
"We always wanted to do something for Pride," Tyler said. "We partnered with them and hosted an event during Pride Week, and it was phenomenal. People brought out clothes, food and blankets, and half of the proceeds went onto the Promise House. We loved it so much, we were like, 'We have to do this again,' so we picked two more charities and right back at it."
All three nonprofits emphasized the help they get from volunteers, as well as donations.
"We cherish our volunteers," Tyler said. "Being a nonprofit, no one makes money, not even the founder. Without all of our volunteers, there wouldn't be an organization to do the good that we do. You have to be thankful for everyone that comes your way."
This included the drag queens who performed and put on a show for free, accepting only the money that was thrown on stage during their numbers.
OUTreach Denton plans to use the funds raised to organize LGBTQ friendly events and support their youth group, while 4theOne will be using it to acquire software that will aid in tracking down missing children.
"There's a lot of great organizations in North Texas that need help," Tyler said. "Being a friend with benefits really helps."
With what they feel is continued support from the community, Friends With Benefits Denton is already planning the next We Denton Drag It event for next year.
"Hopefully it's bigger," Tyler said. "Every year you have to get bigger, right? More glitter, more lights, so hopefully we'll just keep growing and bring awareness to people that need it."

Dressed in a black turban and cleric's coat, Iranian ultraconservative Ebrahim Raisi casts himself as an austere and pious figure and an corruption-fighting champion of the poor.
On Saturday the 60-year-old was named the winner of the Islamic republic's presidential election, set to require over from moderate Hassan Rouhani in August.
Critics charge the election was skewed in his favour as strong rivals were disqualified, but to his loyal supporters he's Iran's best hope for standing up to the West and bringing relief from a deep depression .
Raisi isn't renowned for nice charisma but, as head of the judiciary, has driven a well-liked campaign to prosecute corrupt officials.
In the election campaign he vowed to stay up the fight on graft, construct four million new homes for low-income families, and build "a government of the people for a robust Iran".
Many Iranian media outlets see him as a possible successor to supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who turns 82 next month.
Raisi, whose black turban signifies direct descent from Islam's Prophet Mohammed, holds the title of "hojatoleslam" -- literally "proof of Islam" -- one rank below that of ayatollah within the Shiite clerical hierarchy.
Like other ultraconservatives, he harshly criticised Rouhani's camp after the 2015 nuclear deal was torpedoed by then US president Donald Trump, who reimposed punishing sanctions.
But, like Iranian political figures across the spectrum, Raisi supports efforts to revive the deal to bring relief from Iran's painful depression .
Born in 1960 within the Celestial City of Mashhad in northeastern Iran, Raisi rose to high office as a young man.
Aged just 20, within the wake of the 1979 Islamic Revolution that toppled the US-backed monarchy, Raisi was named prosecutor-general of Karaj, which neighbours Tehran.
For the exiled opposition and rights groups, his name is indelibly related to the mass executions of Marxists and other leftists in 1988, when he was deputy prosecutor of the Revolutionary Court in Tehran.
Asked in 2018 and again last year about the executions, Raisi denied playing a task , whilst he lauded an order he said was handed down by the Islamic republic's founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to proceed with the purge.
In 2019, the US placed Raisi et al. on a sanctions list citing the executions and other alleged rights abuses -- charges Tehran dismissed as symbolic.
Raisi has decades of judicial experience, serving as Tehran's prosecutor-general from 1989 to 1994, deputy chief of the Judicial Authority for a decade from 2004, then national prosecutor-general in 2014.
He studied theology and Islamic jurisprudence under Khamenei and, consistent with his official biography, has been teaching at a Shiite seminary in Mashhad since 2018.
In 2016, Khamenei put Raisi responsible of a charitable foundation that manages the Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad and controls an outsized industrial and property asset portfolio.
Three years later, Khamenei appointed him head of the Judicial Authority. Raisi is additionally a member of the assembly of experts who select the supreme leader.
He is married to Jamileh Alamolhoda, an academic sciences lecturer at Tehran's Shahid-Beheshti University. they need two daughters.
Raisi is that the son-in-law of Ahmad Alamolhoda, the Friday prayer imam and supreme leader's representative for Mashhad.
His election win comes after he lost to Rouhani in 2017. This time, five ultra-conservatives and two reformists were approved to run after many other prominent figures were disqualified.
Raisi gathered support from traditional conservatives, who are on the brink of the Shiite clergy and therefore the influential merchant class, also as ultraconservatives who are united during a their anti-Western stance.
He also sought to increase a hand beyond his traditional base, by pledging to defend "freedom of expression" and "the fundamental rights of all Iranian citizens".
Raisi has also vowed to eradicate "corruption hotbeds" -- a topic he already pursued in his judicial role, through a spate of highly publicised corruption trials of senior state officials.
Even judges haven't been spared by his much trumpeted anti-graft drive; several are sentenced over the past year.
Raisi has also taken a tough line against protest groups. When the Green Movement in 2009 rallied against populist president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad winning a disputed second term, he was uncompromising.
"To those that speak of 'Islamic compassion and forgiveness', we respond: we'll still confront the rioters until the top and that we will uproot this sedition," he said.

My name is Kim. I am a life long New Englander who relocated to the sunny and hot Southeast five years ago. Living in a one season climate can be quite challenging for someone like me who craves the cold and clouds and hills and mountains. We have built a life here together but now we are in the midst of new phase that will eventually find us back in the mountains that I love. A recent road trip back home confirmed and affirmed our plans and I am learning to be patient with the process, knowing that each step we take is one that brings us closer to our goal. Once again I am on a new life journey; this time around I feel more at peace than ever before. For me, home truly is a place and it is essential to be surrounded by nature and the quietude of the mountains and woods. They act as a buffer against the wicked ways of the world as we are currently experiencing it. Through this blog, I still hope to promote humor, honesty, and humility and share the knowledge that no one is ever alone in any struggle that they may face. Beyond life's toughest trials and rocks in the road, another living and breathing space awaits all of us.

Hey Miss Sunshine!

Wonderful and quite original acceptance post! Glad that I was the universe's impetus for it. 🙂 The toilet is surely not functioning properly. They need a plumber!
Great plug for all those bloggers.
No doubt I will be checking them out! 🙂
You say: :" . . . . Now I am learning how to live out loud."
He, I like this attitude..'Not living out loud' I think this is what I was like very often throughout my life. I always feel much better when I 'dare' to 'live out loud'. I find with age it gets a bit easier to act more confidently. I am really old by now, actually turning 80 this year!. But I think I am a bit like you: I love to wake up early, looking forward to each new day with all its surprises! 🙂
Thank you for your kind words and congratulations on reaching a new decade!
Life is a fragile thing. Experience can either keep us down or force us to rise up, speak up and shed the things that have kept us from realizing our best selves.
Yes, I feel the new decade is going to start soon, less than six more months to go! At the moment I am still confident enough to speak up about things. In a lot of ways I feel better now than let's say when I was in my fifties. Maybe it was that in my fifties I could not 'realize my best self'.
I know what you mean! I felt that way in my forties, no doubt!

Sterling drifted lower across the board yesterday after Rightmove Plc said that house prices in England and Wales fell in July for the first time in 2014. After starting the day close to a 22-month high against the euro, a drop in housing inflation had only a slight impact on sterling's strong position. With UK inflation rising to 1.9% in June, investors are still holding onto their belief in sterling in advance of more significant data releases later in the week.
Today sees no major releases from the UK, and attention turns instead to the US. The release of both US inflation figures and existing home sales throughout June may cause movement in the markets today, possibly affecting sterling as well.

We are leaving the desert for the mountains, full of green, full of plants unknown to us, and with the beautiful Andean scenery we had hoped for.
Ayacucho, one of Peru's most enchanting colonial towns, is at 2750 meters altitude. At arrival I feel my knees wobbly, but I am not sure whether this is the altitude, or the recent travel experience.
All buses between Ica and Ayacucho travel by night, and apart from not liking travel by night, it defies the purpose of traveling to Ayacucho, through some of the most beautiful countryside, because you cannot see anything. So we had convinced an Ica taxi driver to bring us, during the day, to Ayacucho. Mistake. We hadn't taken into account that our friend was already pretty old, neither had we realised that the mini-taxis in Ica are totally unsuitable for mountain travel, with hardly any power spare to climb up the passes. And with our friend not really willing the shift to lower gear until absolutely necessary, we creeped up the slopes. And blasted our way down through the hairpins, only braking at the last moment, a bit, because using the brakes does not belong to the Peruvian diving repertoire (if you drive and see people on the road, you don't slow down, no, you blow the horn, instead). Anyhow, we made it, just. After some nine hours, instead the seven hours a bus takes! Having crossed a 4750 m pass in the process.
But the drive is worthwhile, after all. We leave the dry coastal plains for the mountains, and almost immediately the scenery changes. The well-irrigated, fertile valley slowly climbs up into the mountain, where the first cacti show up on the still barren slopes. But soon much more green appears on the mountains, bushes, trees, grasses, and for the first time in months we have the feeling not to be in a desert anymore. There are cascading waterfalls, and vegetables are grown on rough terraces up the slopes, not just in the valley. And the scenery keeps changing, from the present valley we drive up onto the plateau, above the tree line, but where it is still pretty wet. You wouldn't think anybody living here, but we are wrong, judging from the animals, mostly lamas and alpacas, but also sheep, and on the lower ranges cows. Basic animal pens, using rocks, dot the plains; the occasional small house, and even the occasional village, we are well over 4000 meters here. Guanacos and/or vicunyas roam around, too.
And then we go down again, into a much denser populated valley, more intensely cultivated, almost Switzerland-like. On the approach to Ayacucho, which is at an elevation of no more than 2750 meters.
next: Ayacucho itself

What makes one Rotary club vibrant and another one not? Sometimes, this is not always the easiest thing to understand. But I can vouch for the difference it makes during my own experience as a Rotary member for the past 12 years. And a lot of it stems from how effectively a club plans for and executes changeover in club leadership.Continue reading

Enhanced logistics processes have enabled Honda to boost output at its Swindon plant by 30 per cent.
The motor manufacturer has worked with Daifuku on a series of upgrades to increase daily production from 640 to 790 units.
In 2016, Honda confirmed Swindon as the global production hub for the all-new Civic. It has since invested a further £200m in the plant, which now employs more than 3,500 people.
To achieve the 30 per cent increase in productivity, Daifuku engineers focused on three main areas of the line-side logistics process:
* Triple decking vehicles exiting the paint shop – preventing bottlenecks
* Creation of more workstations at various strategic locations – increasing productivity
* Changing the structure of the line to accommodate the introduction of kitting and complete units – improving supply chain efficiencies
In terms of cars rolling off the line, this meant speeding up the production rate by 16 seconds – reducing the time finished vehicles were delivered from 85 seconds, down to 69 seconds.
Paul Mack, project engineer at Daifuku, said: "A lot of the conveyors, lifts and other line side logistics equipment inside the Swindon plant has been there for twenty years, and continues to work reliably and safely. Given their strong environmental ethos, the team at Honda was keen for us to retain as much original equipment as possible, while enabling the sizeable increase in output."
The increase in line side efficiency was produced by increasing the speed of the chains that transported the vehicles down the line. "Turning up to speed on the chains sounds simple, but we had to consider several key effects of this change – most notably safety. Large metal objects moving within a tightly controlled, highly populated space deserves careful consideration. And that's exactly what we did," said Mack.
During the testing phase, bumping of body shells was identified as a potential problem. This issue was overcome by the development of bespoke cushion stoppers for each stop station.
Another small, yet vitally important element of the process that was accelerated to good effect, concerned the drop lifters. Here, high flow, second exhaust units were installed to shave vital seconds off waiting times between vehicle transfers.
Mack said: "Every time we transferred a car from the lifters onto the conveyor, it was taking up to ten seconds for the air cylinders to return to a neutral, safe position. So, by developing a reverse gear for the pumps, we clawed back valuable seconds at every vehicle transfer."

Pemoline has been assigned to pregnancy category B by the FDA. Animal studies have revealed evidence of increased incidence of stillbirths, and a decreased rate of postnatal survival of offspring. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Pemoline should be given during pregnancy when need has been clearly established.
Pemoline Breastfeeding Warnings
There are no data on the excretion of pemoline into human milk. Because many drugs are excreted into human milk, caution is recommended if the drug is to be used in a nursing woman.

What's next ? Watt's next !: 5 myths about electric driving debunked
Car manufacturers couldn't agree more: the electric car is the car of the future. LeasePlan, as mobility supplier, has also taken a front-line role and is building the way to an emission-free future together with its clients. The path is clear, especially now that the last stubborn prejudices about electric driving have been swept off the map by LeasePlan.
1. Electric cars are expensive It is true that electric cars are more expensive to purchase than their petrol or diesel equivalent, for the time being. According to research carried out by The European Consumer Organisation (BEUC), 2020 will be a turning point. By that time, electric cars will have a TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) comparable to that of a car with internal combustion engine. In spite of this, there are a number of attenuating circumstances under which an electric vehicle is already the cheapest solution at the end of the day.
Starting with the tax reform in Luxembourg which aims to favour more respectful vehicles with lower emissions rates, not to mention gasoline, hybrid and electric engines.
It should be remembered that, as part of this reform, the tax reform rate applied for the calculation of the benefit in kind is now 0,5 % of the purchase price. However, it does not end there. During its whole life cycle, an electric vehicle is significantly less expensive than its petrol or diesel counterpart. This is because an electric motor requires much less maintenance than does an internal combustion engine, and the savings in fuel expenses in practice make up for a large part of the cost. It is hard to calculate the actual energy cost of an electric car because it depends on your energy supplier, your charging habits, and of course your driving style too. However, for a compact EV (Nissan LEAF and Volkswagen e-Golf category) which consumes 15 kWh/100 km, you can count on a real cost of 2.5 to 4 euros per 100 kilometres driven. In short: an amount which even the most economical petrol or diesel vehicles can only dream of.
2. The driving range is still too limited Another issue which often comes up as a point of criticism for electric vehicles is the fact that their battery does not last long, after which they need to be plugged in for a very long time. Some context would be appropriate here. The time in which electric cars were out of charge after 150 kilometres is already behind us, thanks to the swiftly evolving battery technology. Whereas Tesla used to be the only manufacturer which could boast a 'decent' autonomy of 400 to 500 kilometres, nowadays mass manufacturers such as Nissan, Renault, and Volkswagen have also achieved the reassuring 300-kilometre mark. The charging process is nowadays also much more efficient than during the pioneer days of the electric car, but we will be getting back to that shortly.
3. The driving experience with electric cars is unsatisfactory
Whoever has had the 'luck' to have been for a drive in a Mitsubishi i-MiEV or a Peugeot iOn can testify: the first 'modern' EVs were a torture for car enthusiasts. It fortunately did not take long for the industry to reverse this trend. Roaring sports car enthusiasts will not be happy to hear it, but electric cars have other intrinsic qualities to win over the enthusiasts. As well as having a lower centre of gravity due to the low-lying batteries (which are often incorporated in the bottom plate), a car with an electric motor is many times more efficient than one with a traditional internal combustion engine. The maximum torque is available from the first revolution, whereby even the humblest electric car can exhibit sports car performance at the traffic lights. Thus, a BMW i3 can easily compete with a Porsche, while a Tesla can make even the fastest Lamborghinis or Ferraris bite the dust...
4. EVs are 'false' polluters Since car manufacturers have turned en masse to electric cars for a solution after the 'dieselgate' scandal, an opposite movement has emerged which questions the environmental benefits of electric driving again. How about the environmental cost of producing batteries? How about the exponential increase in demand for lithium and cobalt, raw materials which moreover are often mined in appalling circumstances? Many organizations are still examining the matter in minute detail, but in the meantime the general consensus is that an electric car is less damaging to the environment 'from well to wheel' than a typical diesel vehicle.
A lot nevertheless depends on the manner in which the electricity is generated. Poland makes extensive use of coal and has the 'dirtiest' power generation mix in Europe with about 650 grams of CO2 per kWh. But even there, emissions of CO2 for electric vehicles, considering their whole life cycle, are about 25% less than for diesel vehicles. The cleaner the power generation mix, the bigger the difference. In Sweden, where energy is often renewable, an electric car is 85 (!) times cleaner than a diesel car.
5. Electric cars are anything but practical It is more trouble to charge your electric vehicle than you would like. The investments in charging infrastructure have fortunately already made sure that there is always a charging station close by, but this sort of battery, unlike a fuel tank, will not be full in a matter of minutes. A number of car manufacturers have recently joined forces to create a European network of fast chargers, but even with a fast charger it will take you 20-30 minutes to hit the road again (compare this to charging through a normal power socket which takes almost the whole night). While we wait for inductive charging methods, the breakthrough of the revolutionary 'solid state' batteries, or - perhaps in a more distant future - fuel cell vehicles, good planning is key!
In Luxembourg, there are 157 charging points. To facilitate the charging of electric vehicles and / or rechargeable hybrids, this number will be increased to 800 public charging stations by 2020 (1600 charging points).

prejudice against a person based on the fairness,
or darkness of their skin colour
synonym: shadism
""A tactical, almost sensual performance, shades conveys a desperation for community and intimacy through the unusual medium of dance. the performance is mesmerizing""The Mike
Dora nominated production, SHADES re-examines the wound that is colourism – prejudice against a person based on the fairness, or darkness of their skin colour – and how it inflicts on the Black community, specifically undoing the stitches in Mensah's and six other dancers' personal lives. Set against choreography and text, SHADES breaks the code of silence, compelling the audience to face how such brutality, whether on a global scale with colonization, or an offhand remark from a loved one, permeates generations. Shades, challenges the issues of discrimination by communities of color against themselves and examines a group mentality that has plagued countries for over four centuries.
We see countless examples of the great lengths people around the world have taken to permanently alter their skin tone in the quest for a distorted beauty ideal; but what message does this send to the next generation of young boys and girls and more importantly why is this happening? What has been imbedded into our collective psyche that created an environment for us to believe these significant changes were beneficial?
This show is available to present or tour

Supplemental Dental Plan Changes for 2019
August 13, 2018
Effective January 1, 2019, there will be changes to the supplemental benefit plans. Most of the changes are specific to the supplemental dental insurance plans; therefore, this article focuses on the supplemental dental plans.
How do the upcoming supplemental plan changes affect current participants?
Dental WI and EPIC Benefits+ will no longer administer any supplemental insurance plans in 2019.
Employees currently enrolled in any of the plans with Dental WI and/or EPIC Benefits+ will be required to make a new dental plan election during the Annual Benefits Enrollment (ABE) period, October 1 – 26, 2018 (if they wish to have supplemental dental coverage in 2019).
Why are changes being made to the supplemental dental insurance plans?
Changes are being made to reduce benefit overlap, streamline the claims filing process for you and your dentist and to reduce the overall complexity of dental plan options. Due to these changes, you should be able to more easily determine which supplemental plan is best for you and your family.
Who will administer the supplemental dental plans in 2019?
Delta Dental will administer the supplemental dental insurance plans in 2019. Since Uniform Dental is already currently administered by Delta Dental, this will ensure that the plans do not duplicate coverage (i.e. preventive care will only be covered by Uniform Dental).
Will I be able to enroll in more than one supplemental dental plan in 2019?
No. There will be two supplemental dental insurance plans offered in 2019, the Select Plan and the Select Plus Plan; however, in 2019, you will only be able to enroll in one supplemental dental plan.
What are the main differences between the two supplemental dental plans offered in 2019?
The main differences between the plans are premium cost, annual maximums, the coinsurance amounts and whether orthodontia is covered.
What are the main enhancements to the supplemental dental plans for 2019?
One of the main enhancements is that there will not be any waiting periods before supplemental dental benefits take effect. Another enhancement is that the Select Plus Plan will cover adult orthodontia at 50% up to a lifetime maximum of $1,500; whereas in the past, some of the supplemental dental plans included orthodontia coverage; however, it was limited to dependents up to the age of 19.
Are there any dental services that were covered by the supplemental plans through Dental WI and/or EPIC Benefits+ that will no longer be covered by the supplemental plans through Delta Dental?
Neither of the supplemental dental plans with Delta Dental will cover preventive services; however, preventive services are covered by the Uniform Dental plan with Delta Dental.
To enroll in the Uniform Dental plan, employees must be enrolled in a State Group Health Insurance plan. If enrolled in a State Group Health Insurance plan, employees have the option of enrolling in the Uniform Dental plan.
Additional information regarding 2019 supplemental benefit plan changes, including premium rates, will be communicated during ABE, October 1 – 26, 2018. Please contact your human resources office with immediate questions.

Coronavirus: Why "Not Worrying" is a Privilege
By Lucia Messent
Image credit: NY Times
As Covid-19 spreads, with 10,000 cases now suspected in the UK, the government continues to reassure us that 98% of the population are safe from significant risk. For the remaining 2%, this is not reassuring.
Accidental or not, phrases like "only the long-term sick are dying" come across as flippant about even accepting of the risk to millions of people.
A leading former nurse stated that a pandemic "would be quite useful" in clearing
"bed-blockers", because older people "would be taken out of the system" (she later defended her comments on the grounds that they were "ironic"). For their part, the government have launched a public information campaign to prepare the public for the illness. While of course this is important, they provide no advice for those at a higher risk, fostering ideas that these people are outside of central concerns.
In a culture where ableism and ageism are rife, the implication that some people's lives are less valuable than others is immensely damaging.
As well as being cruelly dismissive, such discourse puts older people and those with heart-problems, asthma and diabetes at greater physical risk. With the general population told not to worry, they are less likely to take precautions to prevent the spread of the disease through simple measures such as regular hand-washing.
Flippant attitudes towards coronavirus are also problematic for those who struggle financially. Where self-isolation seems the obvious course for many, for lower income earners the impact of two weeks off could be devastating.
Some employers don't offer anything more than the minimum statutory sick pay. This basic pay pack amounts to just £94.25 per week, with nothing for the first three days off.
With the period for self isolation set at 14 days, that could mean a budget of less than £188.50 to eat, pay bills, pay prescription fees and care for children or other dependants. This creates a difficult choice: stay at home and risk being unable to feed yourself and your family, or go out to work and put others at risk.
As always with public health crises, the poorest, most marginalised, and disabled are generally worse affected, while the wealthy, connected and healthy have the means to cushion themselves.
People need to realise that not everyone is as fortune and start taking the pandemic more seriously. Being able to cut yourself off from the world to afford the extra heating costs during the day and have enough disposable income to stockpile medicine and food is a privilege.
Not having to worry about the disease because you and your family are in that 98% majority is a privilege.
Rather than overlooking them, the government must put the old, the disadvantaged and the chronically ill at the heart of its thinking about coronavirus.

Embattled Indigenous People of Biafra has stated that all Nigerian political and religious leaders of Igbo descent will not have peace until they speak up against the incarceration of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
IPOB added that "politicians from ward level to federal level including traditional rulers, stakeholders and religious leaders will never have peace till he comes out except they wake up now."
The pro-Biafra group condemned the Igbo political elite for its failure to defend Kanu, saying the northern politicians are proud to negotiate for terrorists and bandits.
In a statement made obtainable to SaharaReporters by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, on Friday, IPOB insisted that those who played betrayal roles in its leader's ordeal would not go unpunished.
The statement partly reads, "Based on verifiable information at our disposal concerning the betrayal of our leader, Nnamdi Kanu, by a few selfish Biafran politicians and greedy businessmen in collaboration with the Nigerian Government, we, the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), wish to warn as follows:
"That all Biafran politicians serving and non-serving must ensure that nothing untoward happens to our leader, Nnamdi Kanu in detention.
"We, therefore, task all of them including governors, National Assembly members, ministers, commissioners, state lawmakers, state commissioners, religious leaders, traditional rulers, Local Government Areas chairmen, and all political appointees both current and former to ensure our leader is freed from detention as soon as possible.
"They can't pretend or feign ignorance at this critical moment in our history and struggle for freedom. If they fail to stand with the people, then they should get ready for the wrath of the people. Should anything happen to our Leader while they idly sit back and do or say nothing now, then Biafra land will not be conducive to them.
"Our leader cannot languish in detention while these people will pretend that all is well. Their Northern counterparts are shamelessly defending Fulani bandits and terrorists rampaging communities across the country yet these weaklings cannot speak out against the injustice against their own. Enough is enough.
"As long as our leader Nnamdi Kanu remains incarcerated in Abuja, all the politicians from ward level to federal level including traditional rulers, stakeholders and religious leaders will never have peace till he comes out except they wake up now."

When trying to edit my site's template settings, I receive the following error:
"Call to a member function get() on null"
After looking into this, I narrowed down the source of the issue as being NS Font Awesome. When the "NS FontAwesome Pro (Editor Button)" plugin is disabled, the error goes away. My site is built with a YooTheme Pro template. The error only occurs in the template editor - it does not occur when editing articles or modules. Also, the error only occurs with JCE set as the default editor. When I change the default editor to TInyMCE, the error goes away.
Is there something that can be fixed with the NS Font Awesome plugin to resolve this conflict?

it's funny how it's the little things that remind me of it. like the chill of the August rain pitter-pattering on my naked feet at the doorstep. like the taste of strawberry cream on the tip of my tongue. like the little spots of red, yellow and green in the darkness as i close my eyes against the sunlight.
it's funny how the memories resurface out of nowhere. like an uninvited black cloud suddenly overshadowing a bright day. like an inescapable reality casting a darkness upon every soul that toils under it. so unlike the calm shade of a cheerful, happy reminiscence. so unlike the happy nostalgia of a gentle, radiant day
it's funny how some words stay with us forever. and every song we ever hear is like an echo. an echo of those same old syllables we fail to forget. a long lost prophecy foretelling our destructive destiny. like a happy high note melting into a melancholic low lullaby.
it's funny how before and after works. how easy it seems to conjure up dead realities and yet how impossible it seems to ever be able to touch them again. how easy it is to remember and how impossible to forget. how easy it is to wish it wasn't real and how impossible to realise how real it really is.

Chloe PIerce, daughter of famous Tennis player Tom Pierce and Hollywood icon and actress Imogen Swan, is beautiful, fashionable, and fierce. Judge Oakley works for her mother's new boyfriend and old love Duncan Holloway at his outdoor retail empire in the philanthropic division. He loves to hike and camp, but he also loves women in spike heels who have sass and Chloe PIerce is all of that and more. When they meet, sparks fly, and when she lets him in her life he sees that she has a world of hurts that she hides deep inside and that he's the man to see her through.
There was so much depth to these characters. As the oldest child to famous parents, Chloe has always tried to hold her family together. When her parents divorce Chloe is obviously upset but she puts on a good face and stays strong because that's what's expected. When her beloved Uncle Corey kills himself and his lies are revealed she again stays strong but inside she is unraveling. Judge is there when she breaks and it is his strength that holds her up.
Chloe is similar to other Kristen Ashley female protagonists but Judge is a different kind of hero. He has moments of alpha, definitely, but was also sensitive and empathetic. It was so refreshing and unexpected for a Kristen Ashley hero. The second half of the novel was all Judge's story and it was Chloe's turn to be strong. These two balanced each other so well.
Next up is Rix and Alex and the author spent a good bit of time setting up their story. What do we know so far? There is a big misunderstanding that will be standing in their way. I can't wait for the book to come out in November. KA is on a hot streak and I hope she keeps up with this great writing! ❤❤❤❤
