Among all systems, the series system is having the lowest optimal replacement time, while the parallel system is having the greatest optimal replacement time. This paper is comparing the standard age replacement strategy (SARS) with two newly introduced strategies (strategies A and B) for some multi-unit systems, so as to investigate the advantages of each of the three strategies (SARS, strategy A and strategy B). For simple illustration of the proposed replacement cost models under SARS, strategy A and strategy B, two numerical examples were provided, and the results obtained will be important to engineers, maintenance managers and plant management, in selecting and applying the best strategy for preventive maintenance of a particular multi-unit system.


An English translation of an ancient Icelandic memoir provides the inspiration for the debut novel from writer and broadcaster, Sally Magnusson. Loraine Patrick discovers how the popular news presenter unleashed her imagination to tell this remarkable tale of pirate raids, tragedy, and survival.
It was a real effort to leap off the tree and stop hanging onto the branches of truth or fact,’ says Sally Magnusson, colourfully describing the challenges she faced in writing her first novel in snatched bursts away from her very busy and very public life.
Facts are Sally’s currency as an already successful non-fiction writer, and as a broadcaster and journalist – regularly bringing us the news on Reporting Scotland. ‘It was intensity in bursts,’ she laughs, ‘rather than a thousand words a day in a steady and stately fashion! The idea of shutting yourself away for six weeks to write is an absolute dream because that liberation of the imagination was definitely not something that happened overnight for me,’ she says frankly.
But lets rewind a bit here. I am meeting Sally to discuss her newly published book The Sealwoman’s Gift which has been described as a remarkable feat of the imagination. Sally has taken an incident in Icelandic history, little known outside that culture, and created an incredibly moving story of love, loss, resilience and redemption.
In 1627 Barbary pirates raided the coast of Iceland abducting some 400 of its people, including 250 from a tiny island off the mainland called the Westman Islands. They sailed to North Africa and were sold into slavery in Algiers. Although the raid itself is historically documented and looms large in the collective memory, little is historically known about what actually happened to the women and children.
‘Growing up I was aware in a vague sort of way about the raids, in the same way that here in Scotland we are historically aware of Culloden and Bannockburn. I didn’t really have a true understanding of the period until I read an English translation of memoirs from a clergyman called Reverend Ólafur Egilsson. I was staggered by the story he told – his whole family were abducted and sold into slavery.’
It was the fleeting mentions of Ásta, the Reverend’s wife that really got to Sally. ‘I was so interested in everything that she went through yet there were only brief glimpses in the memoir of her. It was a period of time when women everywhere were largely silent. Not much was said about the fact she gave birth on a slave ship, she lost her 11-year-old son in the slave market (he was the first one to be picked by the local governor) and she was left with two little children. We don’t know historically what happened to her but that’s where I tried to imagine what it was like as a woman and a mother in these circumstances.’
Mother of five grown up children, Sally’s family and Icelandic heritage are well known. Her late father Magnus was the long time presenter of Mastermind. He was also a successful translator of Icelandic sagas. ‘I grew up being immersed in this amazing storytelling tradition. It was only as I got older I understood my father had been working on the greatest medieval literature in the world.’ Sally’s late mother Mamie – subject of her best selling book Where Memories Go which chronicled her battle with dementia, was also a journalist. Storytelling was part and parcel of the Magnusson household.
A lot to live up to then when it came to putting pen to paper. ‘I had very high standards of what I wanted to achieve with this book,’ Sally reflects. ‘My degree was in English literature so not only did I have a very good idea of what was required of a novel I had huge expectations of what a novel had to be. I found it difficult to make it as good as I wanted and I went through umpteen drafts trying to wean myself away from checking the accuracy all the time.’
But Sally has certainly pulled it off with fellow authors and critics alike singing its praises. She is looking forward to promoting it at this years Aye Write Festival, a gathering she holds dear. ‘I think per head of population we have more book festivals in Scotland than anywhere else,’ she says ‘there is something very special about being in an auditorium with other people who share a love of books. It’s a wonderful feeling being in an environment where you can enthuse about words with other people who enjoy writing. I am less comfortable about saying “look at me! Come and buy my book!” But that is now part of the business and I take it on the chin.’
She hopes readers get a flavour of two very different worlds, 17th century Iceland and the intensely contrasting experience of 17th century Algiers. ‘It must have been extraordinary for captive Icelanders to step off that slave ship and find themselves in a place so different to their homeland. The contrast in culture, climate, religion and social mores couldn’t be greater.’
Ultimately it is the human story that really sets this book apart. Ásta, the heroine is strong and feisty and Sally hopes readers like her. ‘It’s really a story about marriage,’ she concludes. ‘How do you tackle a relationship you have lost for many years? How do you deal with going back to a situation that made you happy once but now no longer does? How do you find yourself within that? These aren’t just questions for 17th century Iceland or Algiers but questions for all time.’
Aye Write Festival is on 15-25 March
Sally Magnusson is appearing at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on 18 March.


The person Gemma most talks to is herself. She is constantly arguing and discussing events with herself more than anyone in her life. As she continues her journey to quell her anxiety, she hits a few bumps with her friendships and her relationship with the man she has dubbed McGruff. Since the day she met him, he has been a perplexing source of both anxiety and calm, and now she is faced with uncertainty as to her feelings about him. And to add to that, she is confronted with a stress provoking situation with one of her coworkers.
With her job always at the forefront of her anxiety, will he new confusion about these two men take the lead? Or will a newfound contentment with her career cause her to withdraw into her own mind even more? And what if that contentment is suddenly taken away?
“I flashback to all the times I prayed something like this would happen, that something would happen to the building so I wouldn’t have to go to work.
Oh my God, did I do this? Did I wish this into happening? Did I do this with my mind?
Shush. It’s like a dream come true.”
Gemma is in her fourth meeting of the day with her third cup of coffee trying to listen while talking herself down from a panic attack. Will the day ever end? Will Jack ever stop talking? Doubtful. And what if she runs into that new guy that she keeps seeing? Will she talk to him? Unlikely. Her chest tightens as her mind races. Calm down, Gemma. Just breathe.
Mythtefied is an epic journey of gods, beasts, and ancient legends.
Caelan is the mortal son of the great god, Donus. But is he ready for the chaos he is destined to tame? He doesn't think so. In fact, he doesn't even know about his destiny, even though the rest of the township knows it all too well. Is he ready to save the world? Or will the half-god fail his township and his absent father to be a normal boy instead?
"Son of Donus, she thought. She had heard legends of the son of Donus. The Chonotaurs even fought out battles, and the oracles invoked his name. She wondered how such a shy and sheltered boy could ever be the man of whom they spoke."
Reviews for Mythtefied
"Mythtefied is a great new fantasy novel penned by newcomer Camille Michaels. The book is rich with detail, from mundane daily habits to the evocative scenes and stimuli present in every new moment in the book. The book has a smooth flow to its storytelling and moves at a very satisfying pace. It's evocative, expansive, and engaging, defying expectation where you might least suspect. A debut novel to be commended."

Relationship between Early Blight Disease Severity and Uptake of NPK by Potato Under Diverse Fertility Gradient of Soil
Buddhadeb Naskar and Deb Prasad Ray
Negative correlations were observed between the early blight disease severity (%) and uptake of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium by potato crop. The experiment was carried out by 13 treatments combination including untreated control (S0N0P0K0) with four diff erent soil fertility gradient and Kufri jyoti was selected as test variety for the experiment. From this relationship, it clearly indicated that with increasing the disease severity there was Nitrogen uptake drastically reduced. Similarly, in case of Phosphorus and Potassium uptake by the plant extremely reduced with the increases of early blight disease severity. It due to less leaf area index (LAI), less root formation and less photosynthetic production were confi rmed in the linear regression line and regression equations. The highest tuber yield (340.4 quintal ha-1) was recorded in high fertility gradient of soil with higher NPK combinations (S4N250P150K125) followed by medium fertility gradient soil i.e. 339.4 quintal ha-1 (S3N200P150K125) and were found signifi cantly superior to other treatments combination and in respect of untreated control under diff erent fertility gradient of soil. From this observation, it could be noted that the high fertility gradient soil recorded the maximum yield and minimum yield obtained in low fertil.

While his mother later largely renounced her feminist views in practice, the young Vladimir was adamant to pursue his dreams and become a writer. The Formative Years While at university, Bartol made friends with the young philosopher and alpine climber Klement Jug. Set in Persia in the eleventh century, Alamut is the story of Hassan Ibn Sabah, an old man who becomes the head of the Ashashini sect. Yet he achieves a breakthrough with a small but utterly committed group of fedayee. As is true of all great novels, Alamut is multi-layered. It was even more successful in Spain: Ensconced within his mountain citadel of Alamut, the "Caligula of the East" wages a horrifying holy war against the Turks who threaten to impose Sunnitism on the Persian Muslims.

Chapter 1 contains a typological classification of Slavonic Bible MSS according to three main types: liturgical, continuous and exegetical. Till the 12th century special collections of lections were used in liturgy, later MSS with continuous text were adapted for this purpose; the ОТ Prophetologion was supplanted by Liturgical Menaias and Triodions. MSS with continuous ОТ text spreaded only at the end of the 14th century and lost their significance when the first printed edition of the Slavonic Bible was published in 1580. The Slavonic version of the Exegetical Type was formed by translating Greek Fathers' works and was never completed. The full list of Exegetical translations of the 9th to 16th centuries includes about 20 entries. Besides a number of Biblical compilations such as the Exegetical Palaia, Chronographs and Florilegia are listed.The Holy Scripture text in Exegetical compositions is characterised by some peculiarities.
Chapter 2 «Hand-written Text and Its Study» is of the methodological character; here the nature of the controlled text history transmission so typical of the Holy Scripture is described. All the discussed philological cases are illustrated by readings from Slavonic Bible MSS. The place of Biblical quotations in text history investigation is elucidated.
Chapter 3 treats Bible translation as a philological problem. The following questions are discussed: the measure of freedom in translation, medieval theories of translation, the original text as it is seen through translation, Latin influence on Slavonic Bible translations, philological criteria to be used to determine the place and the time of a translation.
Chapter 4 describes the main base texts of Slavonic Bible translations, i. e. the Masoretic Text, the Septuagint, the Greek New Testament as well as Latin versions. Special attention is paid to LXX and NT recensional history. For the Slavonic ОТ translations the Byzantine recension «R» revealed by Alfred Rahlfs in 1923 (and not so called «Lucianic») was of the greatest significance; for the NT translations ordinarily Byzantine MSS were used.
Chapter 5 gives a series of essays on the history of Bible translations among Slavs of the 9th through 16th centuries. It is maintained that the continuous NT text was translated at the middle of the 9th century by Stt Cyrill and Methodius; about 893 it was used for preparing the Short and Extended NT Lectionaria. In Bulgaria between 893-927 the both Lectionaria were revised and from there spreaded to East Slav and Serb regions. In course of revising ОТ texts some parts of Methodian translations were lost and several new Exegetical translations became popular. The Croatian Glagolitic Bible tradition rested on Cyrillo-Methodian as well as Bulgarian sources. The new liturgical Four Gospels text was prepared in the 12th century probably under the supervision of St Sava; this innovation was followed by adding the Extra Short Gospel Lectionarium. The exceptional weight of the Bogomil South Slavic tradition cannot be maintained with certainty. The translations and revisions from the 14th and the beginning of the 15th centuries made in St Athos, Turnovo, Resava practically renewed all the Slavonic Bible repertoire. Between the 12th and 16th centuries some new Exegetical translations as well as some translations from Hebrew were made in Old Rus, among them the NT of St Metropolitan Alexios from the middle of the 14th century is of special interest. In 1499 the first complete Bible corpus was compiled in Novgorod under the supervision of Archbishop Gennady, in 1580 it was used as a base of the first printed edition — the so called Ostrog Bible. With some slight emendations this printed text is still in liturgical use of the Russian, Bulgarian and Serbian Orthodox Churches.

The Israel/Palestine conflict is often seen as a conflict between good and bad people.
The Making of the Modern Middle East module rejects such simple interpretations, and instead provides an introduction to three stories: an Israeli story, which tells of a lost people re-finding their land; a Palestinian story, which also speaks of a lost people; and a British story, which concerns the initial optimism that the British rulers of 1922 felt about their new Mandate in the Holy Land [present-day Israel], and the sorry collapse of their power in 1947.
To evaluate the history of the Middle East, students need to understand all these stories.
The second part of the module then traces developments within the rival camps. Among Israelis, the original left-leaning Zionism that produced the co-operative Kibbutz is replaced by more conservative beliefs, and the stubborn militancy of the settlements.
The exiled Palestinian groups take longer to organize: they were inspired by secular nationalism, then the grassroots revolt of intifada. In recent years, some sectors of Palestinian society have participated in the Islamic revival of the Middle East.


The Way It Is, by William Stafford
William Stafford’s journey with words began most mornings before sunrise. This simple poem was written 26 days before he passed. The day before he wrote “Haycutters” and four days later on August 6, 1993 he wrote “November” in honor of Hiroshima Day.
One of his students, the poet Naomi Shihab Nye, wrote, “In our time there has been no poet who revived human hearts and spirits more convincingly than William Stafford. There has been no one who gave more courage to a journey with words, and silence, and an awakened life.”
The Way It Is
There’s a thread you follow. It goes among
things that change. But it doesn’t change.
People wonder about what you are pursuing.
You have to explain about the thread.
But it is hard for others to see.
While you hold it you can’t get lost.
Tragedies happen; people get hurt
or die; and you suffer and get old.
Nothing you do can stop time’s unfolding.
You don’t ever let go of the thread.
By William Stafford, from The Way It Is, 1998
Ann died in a terrible road accident on her way home from Perth one evening. I couldn't help thinking of her when I read this poem. Ann was only 59 years old. This little memorial is in the Beverley Station garden and is cared for lovingly by her friends. I water and dead head the roses so that I can play a small part in remembering Ann. There is a brass ballet slipper on the stone podium in the centre crafted by a close friend Jenny Broun.


7/20 Balzekas Museum of Lithuanian Culture, Chicago
mrs. a-go-go has a lump of Lithuania in her genes. Grandma came from a Lithuanian community in Rockford Illinois. Part of the plan for the big trip was to see what cultural and/or genealogical information we could find while in Illinois. After a bit of research we located a Catholic church in Rockford offering family records of the community, but the jackpot seemed to be in Chicago at the Balzekas Museum of Lithuanian Culture. Their web site noted a genealogy archive that was open by appointment for research and a collection of museum displays. When we arrived in Chicago we realized that we had neglected to bring the birth records for mrs. a-go-go's family, nuts! The web site was enticing none the less so we decide to go have a look. We figured we could enquire in person about the genealogy resources and maybe it would be worth a return visit in the future.
Hmm. We found the Museum in a not so swell part of town and began to wonder what we were in for. Inside we found a long poorly lit hallway filled with collections of photographs and some historical documents on display.
The hodgepodge was interesting but not well organised and we couldn't locate anyone to ask about the library. There seemed to be a gift shop with the lights off and there were stairs leading to unrelated offices on the second floor. We perused the displays of native dress on large dolls, Lithuanian Second World War veterans, and letters between recent immigrants and family in the old country. There was a suggested admission fee but nowhere to deposit it. Perplexed, we returned to the street. Oh well, we should have called ahead. Maybe if they knew we were coming there would have been someone to meet us and excitedly show us around. It was a large building and we can only dream of what was housed in the rest of that first floor.
The afternoon was saved by a shop just a few doors down selling paletas in every color and flavor and aguas frescas. It was another hot day and the cold fruit drinks called out to us. We chose a strawberry and a pineapple whip. Aguas frescas are a blend of cold water (sometimes ice), whole fruit (or sometimes a grain like rice in horchata), and sugar and maybe some other flavoring or spice like cinnamon. Good stuff on a hot day. The beverages made our visit to this far side of Chicago much more satisfying even if they were out of the tamarindo.


EVIL EYE IN EGYPTIAN CULTURE (EYE OF HORUS)
Disclaimer // Photo taken from random sources
The meaning of the “Eye” to the ancient Egyptians symbolize healing, restoration, protection and sacrifice. The Eye was believed to have the power to heal the living and to protect the dead in this context is the mummies. The name for this ancient amulet is the Eye of Horus, the Egyptian word is “udjat” and it was also known as the Wadjet. The Egyptians believed that an eye amulet could gain the deceased a seat on the Boat of Ra.
The Eye Amulet originated from the earliest astral mythology and was first represented by the point within the circle that was associated with the gods of Sirius the pole star (Sothis, Orisris and Isis). Sirius the pole star was eternal, an emblem of strength of purpose, poise, and stability. The heliacal rising of the pole star Sirius was extremely important as it was used by the ancient Egyptians to predict the coming of the annual Nile flood.
The 'point within the circle' symbol was one of the hieroglyphic signs of the sun-god Ra. This ancient Egyptian symbol represented the one supreme power casting his eye over all the world.
As time passed the 'point within the circle' was represented as a widely open eye. The symbol was referred to as the 'Eye of Ra, the 'Eye of Horus' and the 'Eye of Osiris' - all extremely important Egyptian gods whose attributes such wisdom, stability, foresight, strength, and courage were believed to be inherent in the talisman.
Eye of Ra
When two eyes are used together the right eye is symbolic of Ra, or Osiris and the sun. The left eye represents Horus, Isis, or the moon,
The amulet as the Eye of Osiris was placed upon the incision made in the side of a mummy by the embalms to watch over and guard the soul of the deceased during its passing through the darkness of the tomb to the Afterlife.
The ancient Egyptians used the eye as a funerary talisman or amulet for protection against evil and to guide their rebirth in the underworld.
The eye symbol was also widely used in necklaces to ensure that the eye itself would watch over and guard its wearer from the glances of the envious. The ancient Egyptians believed that jealousy, hatred, and malice pierced in 'fiery sparks' from the eyes of angry and evil people who were envious of the good looks, health, and success of the fortunate ones.

|Extent of Description||0.2 linear foot (1 box)|
On Kristallnacht, Manny Gale-then fourteen years old-and his father were returning home from a trip. As they made their way back to their hometown of Tebnitz, Germany, they were caught in the middle of a violent eruption in the town. Manny was able to make it home to his family, but his father was arrested and sent to Buchenwald concentration camp.
He was later released in March because of his WWI service to Germany, but was told to leave the country. The Gale family was able to acquire visas to Cuba, leaving Europe via Portugal. They were detained there before obtaining visas to the States. They arrived in Richmond in 1940.
After coming to the States, Manny enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in Europe through the end of the war.

Just got back from seeing the Hobbit.
Warning, there be spoilers ahead.
The initial moments of the movie will be unfamiliar to readers of the book. The prologue takes place just prior to the events in the Fellowship of the Rings with Bilbo and Frodo preparing for Bilbo’s eleventy-first birthday party. Events after that proceed in a manner of Bilbo reminiscing and presumably writing his memoirs in the book he finishes at the beginning of the Fellowship.
The true story of the Hobbit begins with the meeting of Gandalf and Bilbo, where Gandalf makes the mark upon Bilbo’s door. The introduction of the dwarfs begins with Dwalin and Balin, and continues through the company. A number of dwarfs are just mentioned by name (and seen on-screen), but have little influence or impact. The major dwarfs in the movie are Dwalin, Balin, Kili, Thorin, and Bombur (for comedic effect). The other dwarfs sort of fade into the background and make occasional comments.
There are some additions to the Hobbit proper from the appendices and other works such as Unfinished Tales and the Silmarillion. The story of Thrain’s abortive attempt to retake Moria from Mazog and his orcs is shown, and somehow Mazog gets a prominent spot as a major villain in the movie (though he is not mentioned in the book story at all).
One thing that struck me right away was in the beginning at Bag End, the dwarfs are talking about who is going to aid them. Dwalin asks about Dain. This struck me because he mispronounced the name. He pronounced it as “Dane” rather than the proper “Dyne”. A minor quibble, but one that will most likely jar any Tolkien enthusiast.
The movie proceeds from the Shire into the Lone Lands (completely skipping Bree-land). The three trolls; Bert, Tom, and William were shown capturing the dwarfs and the Bilbo. This properly takes place in the Trollshaws, but no mention of the locale is given. There is the quibbling of the trolls over how to best prepare the dwarfs and Bilbo steps up to take the initiative to prolong the encounter until morning.
Once the dwarfs are freed from the trolls, they do find the troll cave and find the swords Orcrist, Glamdring and Sting, though Sting is not named at this point. After they bury the troll treasure, they encounter some wargs and goblins or orcs. This encounter was not in the book that I recall, nor was their encounter with Radagast the Brown. Radagast is portrayed as an addled old man with a disturbing amount of bird droppings running down the side of his face. He runs around Middle Earth on a sled pulled by a team of rabbits. That was a serious wtf? moment for me. Barring that, he gives more background to the events leading up to the Trilogy with the evidence of the Necromancer being in the ruined fortress of Dol Guldur.
After the Company reaches Rivendell, Elrond and Gandalf have a conference with Lady Galadriel and Saruman the White. Given the foreknowledge of Saruman’s actions later, his dialog is suitably ominous and a tinge on the dark side. Galadriel and Gandalf are able converse telepathically, though this is surmised to be because of them both being bearers of Rings; Galadriel with Nenya and Gandalf with Vilya. The scene in Rivendell ends with Galadriel telling Gandalf she will come when he calls for her, and the dwarfs sneaking out of Rivendell.
On to the Misty Mountains. The Company travels through a storm and a brawl of giant rock creatures referred to as “storm giants”. This leads them into the cave, or the front porch of the Goblin Town. The goblins are very well done and crawling all over the place as they did in the Great Hall of Moria. The Goblin King is a very large and corpulent goblin, larger than most orcs it seems. The dawrfs are captured and Bilbo sneaks away, falling into a crevasse with a goblin. He comes to as Gollum is dragging the goblin off for some snacking.
Gollum discovers Bilbo and the riddle contest ensues, of course ending with “What have I got in my pockets?” Gollum fails to answer the question and chases Bilbo, who accidentally puts on the ring in a fashion similar to Frodo in the Prancing Pony years later. Gollum inadvertently leads Bilbo to the exit and he makes his escape following the dwarfs and Gandalf out of the caves.
The Company feels safe for mere moments before Mazog and the warg pack show up and chase them into the trees. This scene is similar to the scene in the book, with the addition of the orcs and goblins. Thorin and Mazog face each other down and Thorin gets his dwarf ass thoroughly kicked. He is unconscious and about to be beheaded when Bilbo intervenes and saves him. Most of the dwarfs charge into battle and fight the orcs and wargs off until the arrival of the Eagles. The Eagles bear the dwarfs, Gandalf and Bilbo away to a peak. They see Erebor in the distance across the expanse of the Greenwood (Mirkwood), and Thorin, who has seen Bilbo as nothing more than a burden and nuisance comes to the realization that Bilbo is a valued member of their Company.
The movie ends with Erebor in the distance and the Company looking at it.
I saw the movie in 3D. The 3D effects were well down and understated, limited to the most part bringing the foreground characters into the actual foreground. A couple of “out of the screen” type moments were in the movie, notably with the butterfly Gandalf uses to summon the Eagles flying out.
There was a couple of continuity errors. When the Eagle picked up Thorin, his sword was out of his reach, and the Eagle did not seem to grab it. However, when Thorin was deposited onto the peak, the Eagle had his sword in his claws as well.
Overall, I’d give this movie a 4.5 out of 5.


I've had a hard time trying to pin myself down. As if I don't really want to do it. Maybe it's true that I have no desire to make myself defined as a single thing, it's tyrannical. Coming to the truth of my existence as a god insignificant and frail is pointless anyway. And I'm so tired. Pain and exhaustion. This is what I currently experience and sleep to avoid. Pain. Not so much that it's incapacitating, but frustrating all the same. Enough that it sours the moods and colors my interpretations. It all began at that time one time I was in that other world. I was a child curious and hopeful, but ostrisized. I felt that there was so much out in the world for me to learn. While digging through a closet I found at the bottom an old book I didn't recognize. The book was large and esoteric. I flipped open to the first page and the text had me enchanted. It was a story of metamorphasis, of change, of becoming. I saw it as my story or a story I wanted to be mine. I recognized that while accepting that it was also a frightening story, of deception and cruel manifestations. I could sense this from weight of the book, from the cover, the type of it's print, and smell of the pages. I also knew I could not be caught reading it. There was something occult and shameful about it. I secreted the tome out of the house and wandered a bit. In the distance I heard the sounds of shelling. It was a somewhat constant affair in these parts, for all my life. Now and then we'd have to deal with a bomb falling in our neighboorhood or otherwise nearby destroying a road or some building. It had become normal. People were used to it, and just went about their lives like nothing strange was happening. I found an abandoned home and went inside. I didn't want to risk being seen by someone with this book. It was too strange, illicit. I knelt down and hid inside the hollow of a blasted out brick chimney. I put the book down on a make shift lectern of a few bricks stacked on top of each other in a rough pile. A light seemed to be flowing from the pages how powerful they seemed to be. When I began to read the words sent a shock down my spine raising the hairs on my skin. It was a feeling of incredible understanding. I felt that the person who wrote this - they SAW me. But the pages just ended. The moment of understanding was at the point of understanding. But importantly it made no conclusions at all. It simply ended there, an unfinished sentence lingering in the air. Any continuation would have been a form of conclusion, of resolution. I don't even know how long it's been since I was reading that book, in that hovel there. Maybe 15 years or so. And I was pretty FUCKING disapointed. THANKS I now know I'm not "Alone" but also, the supposed gift of open endednes has given me no trajectory AT ALL. My life is that unfinished sentance just hanging in the air. What would I want to read after that the last paragraph? How would I want to have finished the sentance? Is it some nightmare that whereever you are 15 years from now, somewhere in the past I left the book for me to find and HERE ARE SOME FUCKING ANSWERS? And OMG THIS IS WHERE I HAVE BEEN SO LIKE IF YOU DONT WANT TO GO THAT WAY MAYBE GO A DIFFERENT ONE? I think it could easily be like that, problematicly. So here's the thing me... You. "There's a bomb falling towards you RIGHT NOW." I willed the words onto the page. It wasn't what she had expected to read but the words sent another sewage flavored chill down her spine. She thought about leaving the book behind and running or staying and BOOOOMMMMMMMM The entirety of her world became a white light. The future self knew that this what would happen and couldn't stop it. It was imparitive for my young self to die in such a way. It was the only way I could continue to exist. To put a period at the end of the sentance. Because I too had died in that way. I remembered it like it was happening now. It /was/ happening now. I could feel the spiraling of my flesh as time slowed down. Perception accellerated. I could see the shrapnel escaping the metal casing that had already dug it's way into the ground below. There were bricks and a cloud of dirt and other hot sticky gasses. I took time to cast my eyes at the center of the blast, it's gooey molten pulsation and growing brightness was too much to focus on for long. Looking at the sun of a different kind of day. I realized I could move. In this deluded space and time, with cuts on my entire body and clearly about to die, I realized I could move. I grabbed the book, or rather I tried to, but it was locked tight. I tried again. It wasn't quite stuck, it was just very slow. I realized the book would probably carry it's momentum so she began to, speed up the book towards a large window at the front of the building I was in. It would be shot out of the burned out blasted abandoned home like a bullet out the front window. The glass would break slowing it down some then it would hit a wall on the far side but hopefully it should be fine. For the most part. I watched the event happen in slow motion. The expolosion expanding, sending debris outward. I waited outside for it to happen and as I waited things suddenly began to speed up. BOOOOM The building exploded and collpsed as the book hit the wall of the opposite building with a thud right in front of me. "Nothing happens. Nothing ever happens. It slows down and slows down. She soon gets tired of waiting for the book to get to the window but it never does. It just keeps getting slower. She begins to wander off. To explore the present moment. It's all she has left after all. We are what is left behind and that which preceeds from us is our justification for existance." The words on the page the book fell open to... "What is it that which I seek? I don't know. Justice maybe? Wisdom? Something equally pointless? Just to exist to feel something anything? Anything at all? In this forever moment you are dyeing, but you can't actually experience death. You can only ever approach death. Your consciousness has learned to approach that edge slowly. You have access to a vast inner world but none of it is real. It's all just you slowly inching your way off the edge to nothing. Maybe you will finally go when the last photon from that explosion expends it's last coulomb" .

Under the Tuscan Sun
Frances Mayer is the author of Under the Tuscan Sun, a memoir of living in Italy, renovating an old Italian house, and discovering the meaning of life. She continues to travel and write while enjoying la dolce vita.
The book became a movie in 2003 and generated many memorable quotes. One of my favorites, "Never lose your childhood enthusiam and things will go your way." The only problem is that the older I get, the harder it is to remember my childhood; but then that is why we have books and movies.


Arcane Armoury Vol. 1 is a Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition supplement that you can download for free on the Dungeon Master’s Guild. The book is composed of two chapters of uneven length: a large one with 40ish new magic items, and a smaller one with a few special materials.
The selection of magic items in the first part of the book is truly spectacular. It ranges from nearly useless trinkets for an adventure, such as the Potion of Absolution which makes everybody forget you exist, to must have items, such as the Eyes of the Spectator which allow you to shoot beholder-like rays from your eyes. It also includes some funny magic items, such as the Claws of Chaos which turn your hands into ludicrous weapons, to near-artifacts with crippling side effects, such as the Circlet of Netherdeath which makes you immune to death at the cost of aging a year per day you wear it.
I was unimpressed with the second chapter of Arcane Armoury. The special materials allow you to tinker with non-magical items. You get a benefit in exchange for a penalty. For example, heavy armor made of Darksteel grants you a +1 bonus to AC but imposed a 5 feet penalty to your speed. There’s nothing inherently wrong with the special materials, I just find magic items more interesting!
Otherwise, the layouts are clean, the black and white illustrations are beautiful, and the editing is impeccable. The flavor texts are also evocative and help visualize the items. I don’t normally like wasting book space of fluff but since the supplement is free, whatever! Finally, many of the magic items have quirky side effects, which is a nice touch. These aren’t crippling, they’re just fun and help give the magic items a unique feel.
The book only has a few minor problems. Some of the items are really powerful for their rarity and some of them are non-standard. There are also a few imprecisions in the vocabulary the game designer uses. You understand what the author tried to achieve, but the wording is clunky and takes a bit of time to decipher. Fortunately, this isn’t the type of supplement you use without reading it first. You’ll have plenty of time to adjust the rarity of the magic items and to understand how each of them works. I would, however, be very careful with some of the items if you don’t want your games to slow down to a crawl. For example, the Flowedge Slayer is an abomination. Every time a PC swings this sword, he needs to roll a d6 to determine the damage die. You’re basically doubling the number of die the PC rolls for damage. This is fine in the hands of a cleric but it’s not that great in the hands of a high level fighter using his Action Surge.
Overall, I really enjoyed Arcane Armoury Vol. 1, and it’s definitely a supplement that I will be using in my games. In the end, you might not like it, but the only way to find out is to read it! It’s free, so what do you have to lose?

The book is a memoir of sorts about a family and their life with "the world's worst dog". Written by John Grogan, a newspaper columnist by trade, he began writing columns about Marley and then his wife encouraged to turn them into the book we can all enjoy now. Marley is a big golden labrador who doesn't know his own size and strength. He often gets himself and his owners in trouble, whether it's jumping out of a moving car's window, terrorizing the house due to a thunderstorm, or going to the bathroom on a public beach. But like most dogs, Marley passes away and his family realizes that he wasn't the world's worst dog, but the most loyal and loving dog.
I laughed and cried throughout the book. It's a perfect easy read especially for those of us who have owned pets that become family members. It's an experience most people in this world can relate to. I have come back to read this book multiple times and would recommend it to anyone looking for an easy, relaxing, relatable book.

After years of supporting Regional Hospice and Home Care’s work and vision for Connecticut, Senator Richard D. Blumenthal spent the morning of August 14th touring and visiting patients at the new Center for Comfort Care & Healing in Danbury.
“Over the years, Senator Blumenthal’s advocacy for our services and support of our events have raised tremendous awareness of the unmet needs faced by hospice patients in Connecticut. I’m honored to have Senator Blumenthal spend time with us and see the impact our Center is having on our patients and their families.” said President & CEO Cynthia Emiry Roy.
Since its opening, awareness of the Center’s care and amenities has brought patients from throughout Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Florida for hospice and palliative care. During Senator Blumenthal’s visit, each of the 12 private patient suites was occupied and had a waiting list.
Family members have the option to reside in suites with their loved ones and make themselves at home throughout beautifully-appointed common areas. Senator Blumenthal toured the tribute gardens, the Healing Hearts Center for Grief and Loss— now relocated to the new Center, and met staff and volunteers along the way. Hearing stories behind the dedicated rooms, he also visited with two families who were finding peace and comfort in those rooms.
Senator Blumenthal met a second generation of veterans at the bedside of their father, a WWII veteran and also a husband whose wife of 60 years was losing her battle with cancer. Despite their impending losses, both families were eager share their personal stories as they extolled the serenity and comfort they felt from staff and volunteers.
The tour led to the Jeffrey B.White Memorial Library and background on the beloved family behind its creation. Chief Operating Officer Paul L. Sirois shared the story of his childhood friend, Jeff White, who became a distinguished travel and political writer, dying at the age of 33 in 2009. Blumenthal was clearly touched by the library and the legacy it embraced. White’s parents designed and dedicated the library in his honor. They filled it with the books he loved, the international papers he wrote for, a bound collection of his work, and children’s books for young patients and family members.
Past the library, the scent of roasting vegetables wafted from the commercial kitchen where Senator Blumenthal, Roy and Sirois stopped by to chat with Chef Aaron Swart. The senator was impressed by the organic produce Swart orders from a local farm cooperative and at the variety of foods he prepares each day. Families regularly stop by Swart’s kitchen with personal meal requests which he accommodates as well as his daily menus and extraordinary baked goods.
Senator Blumenthal had been a strong advocate on behalf hospice families during the earliest days of Regional Hospice’s vision. It was a proud day for Regional Hospice’s president, chief operating officer, staff members and volunteers to share the Center’s new reality for compassionate end-of-life care with Senator Blumenthal.
Regional Hospice and Home Care’s team of experienced clinicians have been providing physical, emotional, spiritual and bereavement support to children, adults and their families through our palliative and hospice care program for the past 30 years. Regional Hospice and Home Care is a nonprofit, state-licensed and Medicare-certified home health care and hospice agency. Now, with the opening of our new private-room, specialty hospital for palliative and end-of-life care — the Center for Comfort Care & Healing — Regional Hospice and Home Care can bring that same hope and compassionate care close to home and under one roof.

In 1999 Aaron Baker broke his neck in a motocross accident, leaving him completely paralyzed from the neck down. Despite doctor’s grim prognosis over the next 16 years Aaron decided not to listen to those who said ‘he had a million-to-one odds of ever feeding himself again’ and instead, through painstaking effort, endeavored to regain as much mobility as possible. This journey through the unknown took him from the depths of depression to the joys of cross country road tripping via tandem bicycle with his mother and friends, and finally, culminated in his opening a socially conscious low cost gym focused on increasing mobility for the disabled. Now in Coming To My Senses we watch as Aaron takes one final journey which symbolizes his recovery: to cross a 20 mile tract of Death Valley unsupported on foot. But will he make it?

On the verge of achieving his dream career, Tomás allows his older brother Martin Farina an inside look at his life as a professional football player. Martin, never able to fulfill his own dream of playing football, steps into the world of Tomás and his teammates through the lens of his camera.

At the same time, Fulboy reflexively interrogates Farina’s aesthetic choices and point-of-view, as well as the viewer’s gaze at the male form.

James Baldwin and Henry James seem to be almost opposites, at first glance. Nevertheless, by reading James through Baldwin and Baldwin through James, surprising similarities, a queer master and a not so marginal Baldwin will evolve. James and Baldwin are considered two of the most influential literary writers for the development of transnational Anglophone literature in the nineteenth and twentieth century respectively.
Willy Loman , a mercurial sixty-year old salesman with calluses on his hands, returns home tired and confused. His wife Linda greets him, but worries that he has smashed the car.

He thinks that if Frank Wagner were alive he would be in charge of New York, but his son, Howard, does not appreciate him as much.


Glossary Term Definition:
A method of storing data. In a database, data is divided up into database records; in turn, database records are divided up into database fields. The advantage of a database is that it can be sorted and searched by field contents.
Though modern databases are usually digital, a physical example of a database is a card catalog in a public library. In a card catalog, data is divided up into individual cards, which are directly analagous to database records. Each card (record) in the catalog corresponds with and describes a book. The information about each book is divided up into fields: title; author; subject; publication date; etc.
Digital databases can be in tabular format (that is, a table) in which rows represent individual records and columns constitute fields; or they can be viewed record-by-record.


EPSOM BOOK FAIR 2017
Amazingly 2017 was yet another record year for the Book Fair. We raised £36,006 almost £4,000 up on last year. Although we had increased the price of paperbacks from 70p to 80p this probably only added about £1700-£1800 of additional sales so we also managed to sell more books. We sold for £150 and an old history of Surrey for £175. We had over 2,500 people who visited the Fair which was over 10% up on last year. The Thursday morning was particularly crowded with the queue to the entrance stretching back as far as The Parade.
We repeated the previous innovation of having several charities to help us sort the books in return for which we agreed to donate to that charity in proportion to the amount of help provided. Action for Children had an extra donation reflecting their long association with the Book Fair. Thus, after costs and contributing about £3,000 to Epsom Methodist Church for the use of the church, Book Fair expenses of £1425 which were slightly up on last year due to paying for 6,000 leaflets to be delivered in the Nork and Tattenhams area, the proceeds of the Fair were given to:
Action for Children;
Age Concern Epsom & Ewell;
Epsom Methodist Church Family Worker;
Epsom & Ewell Foodbank;
Epsom Group Scouts;
District Guides for Camping Facilities at Horton Park;
Hope4Malawi organised by St Paul's Howell Hill, Cheam;
The Rainbow Trust.
We also helped provide books to expand the library at Warren Mead Junior School, books for the school library in Malawi supported by Hope4Malawi and books for those who attend the Epsom Food Bank.
The catering team did a great job, providing meals, cake, tea and coffee to all those thirsty and hungry book buyers and helpers over the four days of the Fair and made over £1500 up from £1200 last year!
On Saturday 4th March we were very grateful to the Church for throwing a party to celebrate the success of the Fair which was attended by 70 people who had a great time with good food as well as dancing and quizzes run by Peter and Kathryn Thompson
We estimate we had about 60,000 books on display (about the same as last year) and had about 40,000 books which we sent to the dealer. Thanks to help from many people, and especially the Scouts, by 7pm the church was tidy for Sunday services.
Finally, we could not run the Fair without the help of so many volunteers who willingly give their time and expertise. Huge thanks go to all of them for making this another successful event. Both Jacqui and I look forward to planning for next year's Fair.
