The bazooka was considered by many to be one of the most important weapons in WWII.
When the war began, antitank weapons available to infantry were outdated and ineffective. Although shaped-charge warhead technology was reaching maturity, the means to deliver them - rifle grenades or hand grenades - were cumbersome at best, suicidal at worst. In 1942, the ingeniously simple combination of rocket technology and an existing HEAT warhead created the 2.36-inch M1 rocket launcher, soon known simply as the "bazooka." Armed with this light and lethal device, for the first time it was possible for infantrymen alone to stalk and kill tanks.
Now Osprey has released The Bazooka by Gordon L. Rottman, illustrations by Johnny Shumate and Alan Gilliland, in their Weapon Series (Vol. 18, ISBN 978-1-84908-801-5).
The bazooka's active career was short but distinguished; it evolved into a break-down version, the M9, and then into the 3.5-inch "super-bazooka," which saw notable service in Korea. Including information on little known variants, this book tells the story of what is arguably the greatest antitank weapon of World War II.
Author Rottman presents a well-detailed analysis of the origins and design of the bazooka, discussing the trial and error process clearly. It is worth noting that the design team essentially snuck in to a separate anti-tank mortar trial and demonstrated their new weapon before General Lesley McNair. It was during that demonstration that Brig. General Gladeon Barnes remarked that the new rocket launcher looked a lot like comedian Bob Burn's "bazooka," a comical musical instrument, and the name stuck.
The introduction begins with the initial German report of a captured American rocket launcher from Tunisia, and then gives an historical overview of existing anti-tank weapons at the onset of WWII, including large caliber rifles, hand grenades and Molotov cocktails.
The next chapter, "Development," gives the history of the weapon's designers and how the idea for the anti-tank rocket came about. Design of the initial 2.36" rocket and launcher, prototypes, and production of the M1 rocket launcher and the M6 2.36" rocket, followed by the M1A1 launcher, M6A1 and M6A3 HEAT rounds, M9, M9A1 and M18 2.36" launchers, and the M20 series of 3.5" "super bazooka" launchers are all covered in good detail, There is even included a comparison to the German 8.8cm Panzerschreck.
"Use" covers the actual employment of the bazooka in combat, from introduction through Lend Lease with British and Soviet forces, on to US usage, first in North Africa, then Sicily and Italy, and finally Northwest Europe and the Pacific. Many specific examples are given in which named soldiers employed the bazooka against enemy armor and fortifications. Training on the bazooka and field analysis are also covered, including a bulletin from the 5th Tank Destroyer Group Headquarters Unit on testing of the 2.36" rockets on a knocked-out Pz. Lehr Panzer V Panther. It documents the effects of hits on the road wheels, tracks, hull and turret.
The bazooka was good, but wasn't perfect: a hit on a towing hook, the jack or muffler was enough to dissipate the effect of the rocket, but a direct hit on the armor would penetrate. A turret hit would create significant spalling and shrapnel inside, devastating the crew. In the Pacific, the bazooka was often the only weapon that could be used against Japanese fortifications and caves because of its portability in rough conditions.
Use of the 3.5" M20 series in Korea, again with battlefield accounts, is given at the end of this chapter, as well as training and firing the weapon. Use of the launcher was limited in Vietnam, but it did see usage by British Commonwealth forces and French forces in Indochina and Algeria.
"Impact" is an analysis of the actual deployment of the Bazooka. It put real tank-killing ability in the hands of the average infantryman for the first time, was cheap and easily-produced, and either directly or indirectly led to a large number of new weapons designs from many nations around the world. General Eisenhower named it one of the four items that helped most to win the Second World War, along with the jeep, the atom bomb and the C-47.
There are numerous photographs pertinent to each section, showing training and use of the bazooka, as well as diagrams of the M1A1 and M20 launchers with accompanying rounds. There is also some artwork showing the bazooka in combat settings. The only thing it lacks, at least for me, would be more first-hand accounts from the users. I found the book well-written, with a clear narrative that flows easily. At 80 pages in length, it is easy to read through.
The Bazooka has a suggested retail of $18.95. I found it to be a very useful reference, and it is worth adding to the library. My thanks to Osprey and Armorama for making this copy available.

Before he was a cruel prince or a wicked king, he was a faerie child with a heart of stone. This is a spoiler-free review of How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories by Holly Black.
Holly Black reveals a deeper look into the dramatic life of Elfhame’s enigmatic high king, Cardan. This tale includes delicious details of life before The Cruel Prince. An adventure beyond The Queen of Nothing, and familiar moments from The Folk of the Air trilogy, told wholly from Cardan’s perspective. And to top it off, each chapter is paired with beautiful full-colour art.
Once upon a time, there was a boy with a wicked tongue…Holly Black, How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories
The Characters & World Building
This book is all about one character and that is Cardan, The High King of Elfhame. Although he wasn’t my favourite character in The Folk of the Air series, he is a main character. So, learning more about him was always something I was going to want to do. Especially when the series is that good! I actually really enjoyed getting a look into how Cardan came to be himself. Especially seeing him after the events following The Queen of Nothing. This character development almost builds more of the world for you, its almost like Cardan is the world. He forms such an imperative part in what makes Elfhame and so by being inside his mind you are also inside Elfhame and I love that.
“A heart of stone can still be broken.”Holly Black, How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories
The accompanying illustrations are beautiful and it was really nice to see the words depicted on the pages. Illustrator Rovina Ca did such an amazing job of capturing his likeness and personality in her work. Rovina’s art style was a perfect choice for this book, it really encapsulates the dark side of Cardan and his group bringing the stories to life.
The Plot & Story Progression
Getting to see parts of the stories already written throughout The Folk of the Air from Cardan’s perspective adds so much more depth to the overarching plot lines. The main series is predominantly about Jude so I think a book from Cardan’s perspective was definitely necessary.
“Boys change. And so do stories.”Holly Black, How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories
Although not pivotal to the main plot and story it gives it an edge that it didn’t have before reading this. Seeing all the background details to events that took place gives the reader such a better understanding almost like you’re in the mind of the character and nothing beats that! Getting to the end of this book feels like completing a journey with Cardan and I think it is a journey all fans of The Cruel Prince should embark on.

Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste
Author: Pierre Bourdieu
Soft cover, very good condition.
"Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste" by Pierre Bourdieu is a seminal sociological work that examines the role of cultural capital in shaping social inequality. Bourdieu explores how social class influences an individual's tastes, preferences, and consumption patterns, thereby creating symbolic boundaries and reinforcing social distinctions. Through extensive empirical research, Bourdieu reveals the intricate mechanisms through which cultural practices and preferences become markers of social status, perpetuating a hierarchy of power and privilege. By delving into the realms of aesthetics, education, and lifestyle choices, Bourdieu offers a thought-provoking analysis of how social class operates beyond economic factors, shedding light on the complex interplay between culture, social structure, and power dynamics in modern societies.

Fall-ing in Love with Reading at Odyssey
Every fall, we celebrate autumn with a Lower School program called, Fall Into Reading. This program is designed to make reading fun, exciting, and to encourage our students to fall in love with the magic of books. Fall Into Reading is a collaborative endeavor, led by a team of teachers, including our librarian, Mrs. Dorothy Hampton, our Lower School art teacher, Mrs. Kesling St. Denis, and our Lower School science teacher, Ms. Sophie Gerard.
Each year, Fall Into Reading is based on a unique theme. This year’s theme was, “Plantemonium!”, inspired by the book, Plantzilla, by Maryland author Jerdine Nolan.
Students read books about plants (or had their parents read to them), learned new plant vocabulary words, and studied about the science of fire. Also, students created carved pumpkins based on the book they read and added to the display of over 80 other carved jack-o-lanterns down Odyssey’s main hallway.
During art classes, students created a beautiful, illuminated, life-sized Plantzilla sculpture which was exhibited at the Garden Glow celebration at Ladew Gardens.
No one can resist liking Plantzilla, “the best, friendliest plant in the whole world”, and our Lower School students loved participating in Fall Into Reading at Odyssey.


The Empire Builder In Style
March 23, 2017
By Kevin R. Tam, President
Here at Uncommon Journeys, we believe that luxury train travel does more than just connect two points on map, we believe it spans time and by boarding a train, you are immersing yourself in a cocoon that blocks out today’s world and can take you to a place that those who don’t travel by rail can never understand. The Empire Builder is one such train.
When Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set out to explore the West and lead an expedition to the Pacific, they paved the way for millions of settlers and the emergence of a nation. We all know the story by now. They were joined by a 15-year old Native American woman named Sacagawea, endured immeasurable hardships and eventually reached coastal Oregon where the Columbia River empties into the Pacific. Their journals chronicling the geography, flora and fauna enlightened a nation as to what lay beyond the Mississippi River.
Eventually, early settlers followed in their path with covered wagons and as our nation grew, so did the desire to head West. Eventually, the railroads straddled the nation and portions of Lewis and Clark’s epic journey became part of one of the most famed rail routes in America.
Appropriately, the train on that route became known as the Empire Builder, for the vision of Lewis and Clark had, indeed, laid the foundation for an American Empire that stretched from the Caribbean far out into the Pacific. But when Great Northern Railway launched the first Empire Builder on June 11, 1929, the name was not intended to honor Lewis and Clark but instead James J. Hill, an old-time railroad man who had consolidated a number of weak railroads into the Great Northern Railway and then had the foresight to run the line to the Pacific Northwest back in the late 1800s. The advent of World War II provided a steady stream of passengers for the Empire Builder as military men moved between the Midwest and the industrial plants of the Pacific Northwest.
With the shortages caused by war rationing behind them, Great Northern introduced sleek diesel-powered locomotives in 1947 and by the 1950s, a scenic dome car had joined the train for the use of the first class passengers. Just like today, the Empire Builder was scheduled to travel through the most scenic areas of the Cascade ad Rocky Mountains during daylight, particularly Glacier National Park which Great Northern had a big part in getting established through extensive lobby efforts in Washington.
Running from Chicago to Spokane with ongoing service to both Portland and Seattle by other trains, the Empire Builder today is Amtrak’s busiest route and single busiest train, carrying nearly a half a million people every year with two trains daily, one headed in each direction.
Why is the Empire Builder so popular? As lovers of train travel can appreciate, the elements that combine to make a “Great Train” are composed of a dollop of history, a dash of elegance and comfort and a big spoonful of majestic scenery. On all three counts, the Empire Builder delivers. In fact, several of our trips include a night or two on the Empire Builder in our private rail cars.
There is no more rewarding feeling than to curl up next to the expansive windows of your private streamliner and watch nature’s wonders unfold before you, new vistas around every bend, towering mountains to one side, raging wilderness rivers or expansive prairies to the other. If you press your ear to the glass and listen carefully, you just might hear the echoes of Lewis & Clark more than two centuries ago as they expanded the bounds of what America believed to be possible. Let us do the same for you today.

might be free if they valued freedom, and defended it as they should. -
late 1920ís, the well-oiled machine of capitalist interest ran roughshod
over the civil rights of American
Blood on the Constitution follows Teddy Albert Gall through the
horrific world of brutality, rape, exploitation, and murder that
characterised this era for so many whose voices were lost to history.
Teddy, ex-marine and talented prize fighter, is drawn into the deadly
world of the trade union movement; unions, big business, mafia, and the
ranks of the oppressed and the oppressors all struggle for supremacy.
Teddy enters the fray, compelled by his noble sense of justice, yet
tortured by the fact that he is endangering the lives and livelihoods of
those around him... pursued by a psychotic serial hit man and pursuing
happiness with the woman he loves.
Blood on the Constitution, the long awaited sequel to The
Ragmanís War, Sukle provides a fascinating and impeccably researched
insight into a key period that shaped the America we know today. Its
compelling characters and shocking tales are skilfully interwoven,
culminating in an unforgettable climactic confrontation.

game date: unknown
characters: Tarak, Machn
Asharhn’s town guard
Member of the thieves guild (?)
Whilst at the depository
A merchant stopped for a few days. He was travelling from Muradean to Dizzuka via Al-Mer-Rabi.
The iron security bars have been completed for a number of windows.
Tarak and Machn pressed onward into the Gith-like’s cavern. They were then held up by some enemy slingers and spearmen on the other-side of a stream. After a flurry of missile fire and having lost two of their own, the Gith-likes retreated.
One of the librarians was found to be dead in the stream. Whilst investigating the body, a large lobster creature hidden below the surface of the water manage to knock a surprised Tarak into the stream. Luckily he was rescued as he floated past Machn.
After manoeuvring around the lobster creature, the intrepid heroes attempted stealth into a large cavern, (Tarak was squelching too loudly) where they were ambushed by the remaining Gith-likes. Machn was forced to beat a hasty retreat dragging an unconscious Tarak back to the bank of the stream. Some quick first aid to revive Tarak followed by a hide in shadows before the arrival of the chasing Gith-likes. The sharp eyed pursuers spotted the hidden characters. Machn and Tarak fought aggressively in defence of their corner which drove the Gith-likes to retreat, yet again, to the large cavern.
Cautiously the pair re-entered the cavern only to be confronted by a chest. The Gith-like nowhere to be seen, having retreated into a dead-end corridor. A verbal exchange with the Gith-like determined that the librarians, who Machn and Tarak had been following, were sold to slavers the previous night. Accepting the chest as a gift the pair left the remaining Gith-like cowering together in the back of their cavern.
The party tracked the slavers over the next couple of days. Attacked at night, killing a guard and wounding another; Escaping with the 5 librarians.With the Zolo’s daughter, a chest of gold and other goodies, the party journeyed back to the Depository.
After a few days R & R at the depository, the pair headed to the town of Asharhn carrying the Black-hand’s gauntlet, an idol of a chaos God (recovered depository item), some holy water (recovered depository item) , a brass holy symbol in the shape of a phoenix, the dark sceptre of ascension (recovered depository item) and three indifferent shadows (from another world) who never let it out of their sight.
Arriving at Asharhn Tarak and Machn went to visit the location of the cult of the Black-hand looking for the Architect who was being held by them. There was an expectation to exchange him for the gauntlet. After watching the Black hand’s warehouse for a day; nothing. A follow up investigation of the warehouse and the cult’s dungeon rooms revealed that the place had been raided.
During the stakeout 200gp protection money was paid to a man, possibly representing the thieves guild. He also passed on information that the cult of the black-hand had been arrested and taken to the East Citadel.
A trip to the East Citadel was in order. After talking to the Citadels administrator and meeting with the imprisoned Architect, the Machn and Tarak employed a lawyer to advocate on behalf of their Architect. The cult of the Black-hand had been accused (correctly) of sacificing an Elven slave.During their visit to the East Citadel one of the guards thought he recognised Tarak from an incident a number of months back. An incident in which the head of the basket weavers guild and his family were brutally murdered.
Later that day the guard and a couple of accomplices came looking for Tarak, who narrowly avoided being accosted.
The following day the Architect was freed with the skill of the advocate. Tarak, Machn, along with the Architect, left Asharhn heading for the Depository.
Three days out from Asharhn, a large posse of five guards, (the three who had been suspicious of Tarak) and eight others consisting of mercenary guards and towns folk, had tracked the party down. The posse attacked immediately.
The party was over whelmed. The Architect was killed. And Machn and Tarak were captured.
During the following day the two characters, hand-bound on the back of horses, planned their escape. Waiting until the right moment, they broke free from their surprised captors. As Tarak and Machn galloped away, Tarak, using his natural horse skills, was able to snatch the reins of the horse carrying both their equipment and took it with him.

Metroid Dread - Nintendo Switch
Metroid Dread - Nintendo Switch The Nintendo Switch has been out for a little over a year now, and in that time, it has amassed a library of excellent games. One genre that has been somewhat neglected on the system, however, is the Metroidvania. There are a few titles that scratch that itch, but they tend to be ports of older games or indies with a limited scope. Metroid Dread, a newly announced entry in the Metroid series, looks like it could be the Switch's first great Metroidvania. The last 2D Metroid game came out in 2002 on the GameCube, and while there have been a few 3D entries in the series since then, none have captured the magic of the 2D games. Metroid Dread seems like it could be a return to form for the series. The game is set on the planet ZDR, and Samus will have to explore the many environments there to uncover a mysterious transmission. The E.M.M.I. robots that Samus encounters will be more deadly than ever, and the research machines pose a new threat. Metroid Dread looks like it could be a great addition to the Switch library. The return to 2D Metroid gameplay is welcome, and the new planet to explore should give players plenty to do. The game is also being developed by MercurySteam, the studio behind the excellent Castlevania: Lords of Shadow games, so we know they know their way around a Metroidvania. Metroid Dread is currently without a release date, but it is expected to come out sometime in 2020.

Once you’ve downloaded a few dozen books to your Kindle, it’s hard to keep everything organized. Sorting through hundreds of titles to find what you’re looking for isn’t fun, which is why organizing your Kindle books is important.
By deleting, filtering, sorting, and using collections, you can make it easier to find the book you’re looking for. Here’s how to organize your Amazon Kindles in a few simple steps.
1. Remove Kindle Books you don’t need
If you feel overwhelmed while watching your Kindle, there’s a good chance you need to get rid of some of the books. Your digital bookshelf can pack over time thanks to the books you acquire many convenient Kindle services
9 Essential Amazon Kindle Tips: Top Benefits You Can Take Advantage of
. Because digital books are stored in your Amazon account, you can always get them back after deletion.
From the Home screen, tap Your library in the upper left corner to see a list of your books. Scroll through the list until you find the book you want to delete. Maybe tap Sort button in the upper right corner, and then select List or grid depending on your opinion.
Tap and hold the title or cover image, depending on your current view. You can also press the three-point button that appears to the right of the book’s title in list view or in the lower-right corner of the cover in grid view.
From there it just hit Remove from the device take the book out of your Kindle library. Note that it says “delete” and not “delete”. This is because you can return the book later.
Recover Deleted Books
Even after you delete books from your Kindle, they still appear All the title of your library. To hide them, just change downloaded tab. This only shows the books on your device, making it easier to manage your library.
If you want to reload the book in the future, just switch back All tab and tap the title to download it.
2. Sort your Kindle books
Once you’ve deleted a few books, it’s time to organize the rest of your Kindle library. The Kindle offers some sorting options that can make it much easier. For ease of use, we recommend using the list view. faucet Sort in the upper right corner of the library and select List displays titles in text format instead of showing their covers.
Tap now Sort again and select one of these options to sort the books in your library. recent shows you books in the order you last opened them. Usually, this will show you the book you last read at the top of the list. But if you tend to come back to browse other books or look at highlights, your order will be confused.
title and author are quite self-evident: both are alphabetical based on the criteria chosen. Collection however, is slightly different. You can put books in collections (Kindle-equivalent folders) that we’ll discuss in an instant.
When sorting title, authoror recent, all books in the collection will still appear in the main library list. No matter how many collections you have, these sorting methods will always show you all your Kindle books.
However, sorting by collection is different. Your collections will appear at the top of the list, and all books that do not belong to the collection will appear below them. If you decide to use collections to organize your books, this is definitely the best view.
3. Filter by document type
You will also see in your library a Filter button at the top. This allows you to display only certain types of content to further organize your Kindle system.
The large list at the bottom allows you to choose from different document types: Books, audible, Comics, Samples, magazines, Docsand holding. If you didn’t know magazines owns magazines, newspapers and the like. Docs in possession of documents or websites that you have submitted to your Kindle
How to submit websites to Kindle for you to read later
, as well as clips.
You probably won’t need to use all of these unless you have a wide variety of media on your Kindle.
Once you have selected one of these categories, you can use Read and Unread filters to find books you haven’t finished yet. And if you’re a prime minister, Päälukeminen section shows all the books you have downloaded as part of this program.
4. Take advantage of Kindle collections (folders)
One of the best ways to prevent your Kindles from crossing books is to use collections. Because books are like folders, keeping your books organized in collections makes it much easier to find what you’re looking for. Start by making a new collection.
Tap the three-point icon in the upper-right corner below the clock to open the menu, and then tap Create a new collection background.
Enter a name for the collection. You can make a collection to keep the book you want to read next, the titles of your favorite author, a particular genre, or other criteria. faucet okay after typing to create a name.
Once you’ve created your collection, the Kindle will prompt you to add books to it. Just check the boxes next to the books you want. This list is sorted alphabetically by title, but if you want something different, you can use Sort and Filter menus at the top to change your order. Hit Made at the bottom when you’re done.
To add individual books to the collection later, tap and hold the title or cover, and then select Add to collection. Tap the box to the right of the collection to which you want to add the book (select multiple if necessary) and press Made when you’re ready. Because you can add a single book to as many different collections as you want, they can also act like tags.
To return to the multiple-choice tool later, open the collection from your library. From there, open the three-point menu in the upper right corner and select Add / remove items. You can also use this menu to rename the collection, delete it from your device, or delete it completely.
Repeat the steps above to create as many collections as you want. How to organize your Kindle library is up to you. Maybe you can categorize books based on whether you want to re-read them, whether you want to share them, or the like.
5. Search your Kindle library
Even when your Kindles are well organized, there can be situations where you can’t jump directly to what you’re looking for. In these cases, it is faster to use the search bar in the upper right corner of the Kindle. Just start by typing the title or author of the book and you will see an immediate list of results.
The products that appear with the book icon are on your Kindle product, while the search terms next to the cart are looking for you in the Kindle Store. You can also choose Search everywhere option at the bottom to see results from your library, Kindle store, Goodreads, and more.
6. Use reading lists
Another handy organization tool for your Kindle devices is the Reading Lists feature. While this won’t help you find a book you bought years ago, it’s a great way to remind yourself of the books you want to read next. faucet your reading to open the Kindle home page in the upper right corner.
Due to the connection between Amazon and Goodreads, you will see both Goodreads Wants to read list and items on the Amazon wish list directly on your Kindle. This page also shows all the samples you have downloaded to your Kindle. There’s a good chance your reading list isn’t under control either, but that’s another story.
7. Change your organization’s settings in Kindle Settings
Although the Kindle Settings menu isn’t comprehensive, you can make a few changes to your Home screen layout. faucet settings upstairs, then All settings to access the full menu. Go from there Device settings> Advanced settings and select Home and library.
Here you can disable Home screen to hide the main page with your reading lists and recommendations. Disabling it means you are moving to the right Library Show instead.
The other option is Audible content. This allows you to choose between two options for displaying audiobooks on your Kindle. View in the library and at home displays audiobooks everywhere, just like regular books.
Change this to Show only in library filter hide them from view unless you select audible filter in your library, as mentioned above. They will also appear normally if you have downloaded an audiobook to your Kindle. This can help reduce clutter if you own a lot of audiobooks.
Keep your Kindle books organized
Organizing a Kindle system isn’t always easy, but it’s a worthwhile endeavor. Don’t let hundreds of books pile up on your device. Using sorting, filtering, and collections, you can turn a superior library into a well-curated and easy-to-search library.

A Man of Indeterminate Value

Publication Date: June 2013
Price: $16.95/trade paperback
Also available at your favorite bookstore
Chinese Criminal Syndicates, Vulture Capitalists,
A Faked Death, And A Cast Of Compelling Characters Make
A Man of Indeterminate Value A Nail-Biting, Tour De Force
Thriller By Business Insider Ron Felber Explores A World of Corrupt Corporations, Perverted Values, And Man’s Enduring Struggle For Salvation
In a world plagued by corrupt corporations, institutions gone haywire, and sinister forces that prowl the global landscape, Jack Madson needs to escape his own demons. Trapped in a hate-filled marriage, a job he despises, and the mountain of debt his wife has racked up, he’s crafted a plan. He’ll fake his own death – simultaneously winning a large insurance payout for his family and paving the way for his getaway to Mexico. There, he’ll create a new life with the proceeds he has been amassing from illegally selling intellectual property to criminal interests in China. But Madson’s plan goes dangerously wrong in Ron Felber’s nail-biting new thriller, A Man of Indeterminate Value (Barricade Books; June 2013).
A business thriller, A Man of Indeterminate Value exposes American corporate
greed and shortsightedness. Felber draws on his own experiences as the CEO of a U.S. manufacturing company, as a former deputy sheriff who transported federal criminals, and as a Golden Gloves boxer, to paint a startlingly real portrait of anti-hero Madson. “Jack Madson is locked in the myth of the American Dream,” Felber says. “Because he blindly follows the premise that money equates with happiness, every action he takes to free himself from the web of debt, compromise, drugs, booze, and climbing the ‘ladder of success,’ has the exact opposite effect of entangling him more deeply.”
Having been forced out of Georgetown University when his scholarship money dries up, Jack Madson spends a few years as a D.C. cop until he’s able to land an executive job at NuGeneration Holdings, a hyper-aggressive Wall Street firm that buys and guts American manufacturing companies. Madson quickly grows to detest his firm’s hypocrisy. But, he eventually finds himself as jaded as the bosses he scorns when he starts selling the trade secrets of the companies NuGen acquires to the illicit Chinese Triads.
The $2.5 million that he socks away in a secret Mexican bank account becomes Madson’s escape route from all that has come to symbolize his miserable life. But when he finally arrives south-of-the-border, he learns that he’s been double-crossed by his partner in crime – and his bank account is empty. Madson has no choice but to return to the States and make a last ditch effort to double his ill-begotten payoff. The hitch? He must break into the computer system at NuGen to retrieve highly valuable bio-tech secrets.
As bodies pile up, Madson struggles to stay one step ahead of the laser-focused insurance claims investigator who is determined to prove that his “accidental death” is anything but. This modern day anti-hero’s choices increasingly begin to resemble those of yesteryear’s outlaws.
A Man of Indeterminate Value is the first book in a trilogy featuring Jack Madson. Chock-full of drama, action, sex, and the author’s unique perspective on global business, psychology, and the plight of a man desperately seeking salvation, A Man of Indeterminate Value is a tour de force that will grab readers from its very first page.


Summary from Goodreads: “It’s an immense night out there, wheeling and windy. The lights on the street and in the houses against the black wetness, little unilluminating glints that might be painted on it. The town seems huddled together, cowering on a high tiny perch, afraid to move lest it topple into the wind.” The town is Horizon, the setting of Sinclair Ross’ brilliant classic study of life in the Depression era. Hailed by critics as one of Canada’s great novels, As For Me and My House takes the form of a journal. The unnamed diarist, one of the most complex and arresting characters in contemporary fiction, explores the bittersweet nature of human relationships, of the unspoken bonds that tie people together, and the undercurrents of feeling that often tear them apart. Her chronicle creates an intense atmosphere, rich with observed detail and natural imagery. As For Me and My House is a landmark work. It is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand the scope and power of the Canadian novel.
I remember when I first read this in November, I found it really boring…I thought it was one of the worst books I had read. But as I started to take notes in class on it, it was then that I realized how much I appreciated this book. And here’s why:
1)Mrs. Bentley (the narrator) – it is in fact interesting that she doesn’t even give herself a first name, we simply refer to her as Mrs. Bentley. I really didn’t like her much, I thought she was just the annoying clingy wife who hovered around, waiting either for sex or her husband (Phillip’s) approval. She’s a woman in her 30s, married to a poor preacher and childless – she actually miscarried their only child, and after that it was just doors closed, sexual tension arising between the two (at least, that’s how I interpreted it…feel free to give your own! I’m open to anything). She is a very interesting character, and a lot of psychologial realism surrounds her, which (after we talked about the book in class) really made me appreciate her character more!
2) The form – Mrs. Bentley logs her daily life in a diary form, so again it just adds some interesting elements to the plot itself – we only get her point of view, not Phillip’s. So is what she says true, about how his paintings have gotten darker, more depressing? Or is that just based on her own psychological reading? Also, the way she interprets events to happen, is that REALLY how they happened, or again, is her psychological state allowing her to disfigure her interpretations and/or thoughts? A lot of aspects come into play in this novel, which I think made it better.
Final Grade –
This book get a 6/10 from me. Although it has all these interesting elements that I mention above, I still can’t get over ho boring and difficult it was to understand throughout. I never would have thought about certain things had I not been forced o read this. Well actually, I never would have picked it up if I DIDN’T HAVE TO. If you’re looking for a challenging read that makes you think and you’re up to the challenge to decide what Mrs. Bentley actually means, then go ahead and take a stab at this book. If not, then just DON’T.

Protocols To Transcend Fate & Manifest Your Purpose
“We do not predict the future when we know how to create it.”
This book was written to support the self-awakening journey of any serious student or seeker. After some years of teaching and working with the Spiritual Laws, I felt that it was time to organize what we were all dealing with into a proper framework, which includes our daily endeavours and the common challenges one encounters as a ‘spiritual being’ experiencing this ‘human reality’.
Knowledge without application remains only as speculation. When applied consciously into our actions, however – knowledge creates results.
An excerpt from the book’s Foreword by world-renown author and speaker of Chinese Metaphysics, Dato’ Joey Yap, describes the ethos nicely:
“…. as a consequence of living in the modern age, life feels as if it is moving at a speed that makes it seem impossible to exercise control over what happens in our own lives. The world spins wildly onwards and we are simply swept along and buffeted at every turn. “I want more of what I want in my life and less of everything else,” we say, but we do not know how to achieve it. In the face of such reality, it is all too often that we are told to lead a more spiritual and fulfilled life in worldly terms. However, we are never advised on how to go about it. What we want and need is nuts-and-bolts information on how to build such a life. What we want and deserve is the actual step-by-step-guide.
The latter is now possible by reading this book. Today, Sherwin is a master-level spiritual teacher who shares his formulas and methods for living in a series of clear, simple and doable steps.”


Anyone who is concerned about identity theft needs to read this book. Jerry Eller does a great job taking you through a journey that changed his life. His name got confused with another guy, a simple data entry error. Should be easy to straighten out, right? Not so! Jerry ended up losing jobs, having problems with his military record, and is still trying to get it resolved today. Years later!
Well written in an entertaining style. Makes you want to read more just to see what's going to happen next to this poor guy. He gets no help from the people that are supposed to be in place to help with this kind of thing. Jerry is not afraid to name names in the book either.
Overall I liked the book and would recommend it. Just pray this never happens to you!

I am not one to read books but was compelled to read this particular true story about the plight of Gerald Eller. It is written in a style that combines seriousness while at the same time the author is able to throw in some humor--it's a "real" story that makes you feel as if you know him and are there experiencing everything with him. I found it to be such an amazing story that I finished it in only 3 days!!! Have you ever gotten a phone call from a creditor checking to see if you made a particular charge? Do you remember the feeling of shock you felt when it was revealed that YOU were not the person placing that charge??? Well, in some cases the problem is resolved quickly and promptly. Unfortunately, Gerald's story (one more complicated than charge card fraud) is one that can happen to anyone and it's unfortunate that his identity was confused with another person's criminal alias (Jerry Willard's) in 1997 and after all these years is still having a detrimental effect on many aspects of his life including being denied various jobs and the drama he endured when he re-enlisted in the Military after 911. Gerald...I sincerely hope that you do not give up your fight for finding Liberty and Justice for All!!! The last chapter of the book is titled "The End?"....will there be a sequel to this compelling story? By reading this book I could tell that Gerald definitely has persistence and determination and I certainly hope he doesn't give up his fight for finding the justice that he deserves.

A two part review from a soldiers wife:
Reading your book right now. It is very, very good. I am so sorry that you were put through such hell in your life!! Is it on the bestseller list yet? I have a hard time stopping while reading it because it is so good. Jerry it is amazing that you have been through so much and were still able to keep your sanity!! Ken can relate to the horror stories of military life. He has such a horrific chain of command right now and he too plans to write a book on his experiences while serving this great country in Iraq. I will help him since I am the writer of the house.OH by the way, he returns home the end of next week!!!! Thank God this is almost over. Retirement for him will be in April. I can hardly wait!!! Well got to run- I wish you the best in your quest for happiness.
Jerry I just completed the book and was and am still shocked at your continuous run of ill fate. I am also shocked the media did not or has not picked up on your story. I still am dumbfounded how you remain sane after all that has happened to you. I always knew we have a corrupt government but to deny the rights of a citizen over and over again is appalling. Please keep me informed of your fate and in the mean time I will try to get others to read your book.

Who is Peggys Cove Named After?
Peggys Cove was named by the French explorer Samuel de Champlain, who explored Nova Scotia in the early 1600's. He named the region, St. Marguerite's Bay, after his mother. Marguerite's Cove, was the name originally given to the cove.
As the English exerted more control over Nova Scotia, people started to use the English translation of the name Margaret. Peggy is the nickname commonly used for people who are named Margaret. Over time, Peggys Cove became the name people preferred to use and is still used to this day.
Having said that, there is a second account of how Peggys Cove was named. It is a dramatic and romantic story that has captured the hearts of many.
It is told that during the 1800's a schooner wrecked at Halibut Rock near Peggys Cove during a storm on a dark October night during a storm of sleet, Apparently, there was only one survivor of the wrecked schooner. The survivor was a young woman who swam towards shore and was rescued by people who rescued her there.
The woman's name was Margaret, who went by the common nickname of Peggy. After her dramatic rescue, she would come to live in the community and later marry a eligible bachelor from the area. The nearby residents would often say that they where going to visit the young lady who they referred to as Peggy of The Cove. This would later inspire the name of the location to become Peggys Cove.
There are several different variations of this story. In another version, it is believed that she was a young girl who developed amnesia after the wreck of her vessel and didn't remember her name and the local residents decided to name her Peggy. In both stories, the female is brought into the village and would marry a fisherman who lived in the community.
Everyone loves a great romance, however, the more likely scenario is that Peggys Cove was named after Samuel de Champlain's mother.

I'm actually from Halifax, Nova Scotia and I was quite surprised by the tales of Peggy's Cove, I was fun to read them and no matter the past I'll always be Peggy's cove to me and my family. A must see and enjoy when visiting such an amazing Provence. 🇨🇦🍁

Amnesia seemed to had been a common thing back in the day after ship wrecks. A few similar stories here on the South Shore. People forgetting who they were after a shipwreck. I mean rightfully so, such a tragic event! Lovely write up! I'll be sure to think of this story the next time I visit Peggy's Cove.

French and Indian War (1754-63) was the North American part of the global Seven Years’ war. Great Britain and France were the two main opposing sides of this war which were helped by their supportive Indian tribes. Most of the Indians were allied to France. Total strength of the French forces never exceeded 10,000 men while British were more than four times that number. The deficiency of troops was an important reason for the defeat of France in the French and Indian War.
Situation before the War
In the 1750s, most of the areas on eastern side of North America were either controlled or claimed by France and Great Britain. British had far more population (1.5 million) as compared to French population (75,000) in North America. Apart from the people of Britain and France, larger areas are also uninhabited or with the settlements of local Indians. French had better trade relations with these Indians and they used these relations in the French and Indian War to compensate their lesser population. The British were mainly settled along eastern coast from Nova Scotia in the north to Georgia in south. On the other hand, French population was mainly present in the St. Lawrence River valley (northeast USA and southeast Canada).
Events during the War
Both France and Britain were already engaged in different military conflicts since 1747 to control as much area as possible for their colonial and economic interest. The war was fought on three fronts. These were: Ohio Valley Theatre, St. Lawrence & Mohawk Theatre and Atlantic Theatre. Battle of Jumonville Glen (28th May, 1754) was the first battle of the conflict which was fought in modern-day Pennsylvania for the control of a fort in that area. The British (under command of George Washington) remained victorious in this small-scale battle.
The first major battle was the Battle of Fort Necessity (3rd July, 1754) when French troops and their Indian allies attacked the Fort Necessity (now in Pennsylvania) and defeated the British.
Till 1757, French had upper hand in the war as France and their Indian allies were achieving victories and occupying areas against British Empire. Battle of Fort Bull (March 1756), Battle of Fort Oswego (August 1756) and Siege of Fort William Henry (August 1757) were the main victories achieved by the French.
But the situation changed dramatically in 1758 after the change of administration in Britain. From 1758 to 1760, British forces dominated the conflict almost completely. They defeated France and their Indian allies in several battles while main among these battles were: Forbes Expedition (1758), Battle of Fort Niagara (July 1759), Battle of the Plains of Abraham (September 1759), Battle of Neuville (May 1760) and the Battle of the Thousand Islands (August 1760). The British also acquired victories in naval battles during this period.
But the French also fought vigorously during that period and they defeated British in few battles including: the famous Battle of Carillon (July 1758), Battle of Beauport (July 1759) and Battle of Saint-Foy (April 1760).
The Battle of Signal Hill (September 1762) was a naval battle which completed the French and Indian War with victory for Britain.
Consequences & Importance
Through Treaty of Paris, France ceded Louisiana to Spain and New France east of Mississippi River to Britain while only the small islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon remained under the control of France. On the other hand, Britain also gained Florida from Spain.
The French and Indian War was a part of Seven Years War while it started before the main Seven Years’ war due to which it could be called as the prelude of Seven Years War. The French and Indian War (or the North American theatre of Seven Years War) effectively ended the French presence in North America while Britain became the most important player in North America.
From economic point of view, this war proved very costly for both Britain and France. French defeat in the Seven Years War and its involvement in the American Revolutionary War deteriorated the economic condition of France badly which later paved the way for French Revolution.
On the other hand, Britain also had to impose taxes on Americans in order to pay its national debts which were doubled after the Seven Years War. These taxes were the main cause of American War of Independence which ended British rule in North American and established the United States of America.

Celebration of Joan Scott's new book : "The Politics of the Veil."
NOTE SPECIAL LOCATION: FACULTY HOUSE, 1ST FLOOR, RANDOLPH ROOM
Joan Wallach Scott, Harold F. Linder Professor, the School of Social Science, Institute for Advanced Study, will discuss and sign copies of her acclaimed new study, The Politics of the Veil (Princeton University Press, 2007)
In 2004, the French government instituted a ban on the wearing of "conspicuous signs" of religious affiliation in public schools. Though the ban applies to everyone, it is aimed at Muslim girls wearing headscarves. Proponents of the law insist it upholds France's values of secular liberalism and oppose the headscarf as symbolic of Islam's resistance to modernity. The Politics of the Veil offers an explosive refutation of this view, calling for a new vision of community where common ground is found amid our differences, and where the embracing of diversity--not its suppression--is recognized as the best path to social harmony.
Joan Wallach Scott is a widely recognized specialist of gender and contemporary French history and politics. Her books include Parité: Sexual Equality and the Crisis of French Universalism and Gender and the Politics of History.


In our last post, we set up our Microsoft Azure account and created a search service. In this post, we will create a project in Visual Studio, will create a test to populate our data, and then we will create a simple ASP.NET MVC project to do a simple search of the data.
You can follow along here, or you can pull the project with the BlackBarLabs.Search.Azure project. This project in its entirety is available as BlackBarLabs.Search.Azure.Sample from Github.
To get started, lets create a new ASP.NET Web Application project in Visual Studio called AFDSearch.
And let’s choose MVC with No Authentication:
The first thing that we want to do after our project is created, is create a new test project. We will write a simple unit test to read information from a csv file and use this to populate our search index. Right click on the Solution node in the Solution Explorer, click Add, click New Project, select Test\Unit Test Project, then rename the project to AFDSearch.Test and click OK.
Let’s do some renaming in our test project. First, select the default test file, “UnitTest1.cs. Right-click and rename it to “DataImportTest.cs”. In the test file itself, rename “TestMethod1” to “ImportData”.
Now let’s go add the BlackBarLabs.Search.Azure library to our solution. You will need to clone the library in from Github. You can see all of the BlackBarLabs libraries at https://github.com/blackbarlabs, but the specific one we want is at https://github.com/blackbarlabs/BlackBarLabs.Search.Azure. Clone this library to your machine.
Right-click on the AFD Solution and Add\Add Existing Project… Select the BlackBarLabs.Search.Azure.csproj file and click OK. You will now see that the BlackBarLabs.Search.Azure library is in your solution.
Go to the AFDSearch.Test project and add a reference to the search library:
While there, go ahead and add a reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic. We will use this library to parse our data source csv file. Also add a reference to System.Configuration. We will use it to read from the config file.
Next, add an App.Config file to the AFDSearch.Test project. Right-click on the project, select Add\New Item… In the dialog, select “Application Configuration File”. Just stick with the default name of App.config and click OK. Now, in that file replace the contents with this:
Now, using the name and key you saved from when you created the search service in the Azure Portal earlier, replace the service name and api key values. Save and close this file.
Now that we have the config file set up, let’s set up our data file. Right-click on the AFDSearch.Test node and click Add\New Item… In the dialog, select Text File and rename the file to airports.csv. Click Add. This is very important – right-click on the newly created airports.csv and click Properties. In the properties dialog, change Build Action to Embedded Resource.
Now, copy the following contents into the airports.csv file. Click save and close the file.
We will now edit our DataImportTest.cs file such that we can use the ImportData test to read from the airports.csv file and import its data into our search index named “airports”.
Let’s get started by setting up the test initialization. Bear in mind that this isn’t really a test. We’re just using the Microsoft test framework to help up bootstrap up our importer. This could just as easily be done through a simple console app, but the test is a simple solution that we will employ.
Paste the following code before the ImportData test:
When our importer tests fires up, it first runs this code. This code will go out to our App.config file, get our settings, create a search engine, and load up our csv of data into a stream in memory.
Next, paste this code into the ImportData test function.
This code is a little more interesting in that it sets up a list of tasks to be executed. These tasks are run as the file is parsed, indexing each airport as it goes. Note also that the indexer will call back to have us create the index if it is not yet there, which will be the case the first time we call the indexer.
When we call the indexer, the BlackBarLabs.Search.Azure library is doing some pretty cool stuff for us for free. What you won’t realize when the test is run is that when the indexer is being created, subsequent calls to add items to the index will cause an error to be returned from Azure telling the library that the index is still being created. In this case, the library will continue to try until Azure finishes creating the index and frees up. Then it the library will ensure that the document is properly indexed.
As a last step in the test class, paste in the supporting code for the import below the ImportData function:
This code is supporting code to parse out the csv and to set up the search index. What you will find most interesting is the AirportFieldInfo class. This class contains an array of SearchFieldInfo objects. These are used in defining the fields of our search. Here, you set fields as key, searchable, filterable, sortable, facetable, and retrievable. We will discuss these attributes more later and they are documented by Microsoft here.
On final step is that we need to define the Airport class in the AFDSearch library and we will need to reference AFDSearch in the test. Expand the AFDSearch project node and go to the Models folder. Right-click on the folder and select Add\New Item… Select Class and name the class Airport.cs. Replace the contents of Airport.cs with the following:
Now go back to AFDSearch.Test, right-click on References, and add AFDSearch as a project reference. This will resolve the Airport model.
At this point, the code should be good to go and you should be ready to import the airport data into the search service that you created on Azure. Go ahead and run the test. As it runs, you can look at the search index at portal.azure.com. If you continually close and reopen the blade (at present there isn’t a refresh, which is a bit annoying, so you have to close the blade and reopen to refresh). Eventually, you will see your new airports index.
If you continually refresh by opening and closing this blade, you will eventually see the Document Count rise to 982, the number of airports in our source file. This number will climb to this count as the test runs. Don’t be alarmed – the test will finish and the count will still be climbing in Azure. This is because the indexing process will take a bit longer to complete in Azure, even after your test finishes.
When you get to 982 documents, click on the airports index line. This will open up another blade to the right. On this blade you can see a listing of the fields in our index. At the top, you will see the Add/Edit Fields button. Clicking on this opens another blade where you can examine the fields and their properties that we set when we created the index.
Close the fields blade and click on Search Explorer. This will open up the explorer to the right.
In the query string, type in something to search for. I like to type in the airports I have flown out of. Try “HSV”, “BNA”, “MDQ” (without the quotation marks). For each string, when you search, you will see the data input for each airport in the explorer.
Congratulations! You can see that you have created a search index on Azure, have populated it with data, and can now query that data via the Azure Portal’s Search explorer tool. In our next post, Microsoft Azure Search – A Practical Introduction – Part 3, Basic Search, we will use the BlackBarLabs.Search.Azure library to do simple text-based searches of this data.
