Kodiaks Athletics
Payden Vair in action with the Canadian Paralympic sitting volleyball time.

Credit: Canadian Paralympic Committee

Lethbridge College Kodiaks fans will be able to cheer on a familiar face at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games next week.

Just three years after a life-changing lawnmower accident, former Kodiaks soccer player Payden (Olsen) Vair is ready to represent her country as a member of the Canadian national sitting volleyball team. After a lengthy pandemic-induced delay, Vair says she can’t wait for the chance to help her team compete for a Paralympic medal.

“I can't believe it's real,” says Vair. “We were supposed to leave a year ago and then it just kept getting pushed back. It's actually here now, and all the excitement is just kind of bundling up together. It's time to compete and our team is so ready.”

For Vair and her teammates, it’s the realization of a dream that’s been on pause for over a year. The team secured their spot in Tokyo in February 2020 after winning a last-chance qualifier in Halifax. Soon after, the start of the pandemic cast doubt on the future of the games. Despite fears of cancellation, the games are officially on and will begin on Aug. 24.

After watching so much Canadian Olympic success in Tokyo over the past month, Vair says it’s finally sinking in that she will soon be representing her country and competing for the podium.

“I watched some of the men’s standing volleyball and I was like ‘crap, like that's going to be me too!’ I'm going to be in their shoes playing for hopefully a medal game. I can’t wait.”

Adapting from feet to hands

Vair is the living embodiment of the phrase “your life can change in an instant.”

She completed a dynamic rookie season with the Kodiaks women’s soccer team in 2017, starting every game and earning the team’s Newcomer of the Year award.

Then in July 2018, a lawnmower accident on her parent’s farm turned her life upside down. The accident resulted in the amputation of her right leg below the knee, as well as major reconstruction of her left heel.

Even though the injury was serious, everyone who knew her could tell it wasn’t going to keep her away from sports for very long.

While returning to the soccer pitch was still on the top of Vair’s mind, a new path emerged as she began her recovery. Kodiaks manager of Athletics Todd Caughlin had a connection with the Canadian sitting volleyball program and made a few calls. Soon after, members of the Canadian sitting volleyball team were visiting with Vair in the hospital, sharing their stories and inviting her to give the sport a try.

One year later, Vair made her Team Canada sitting volleyball debut at the 2019 Parapan American Games in Peru, earning a bronze medal at the event.

“Even looking back, it just doesn't make sense to me. How did I go from playing soccer to totally switching from feet to hands for volleyball?” Vair wonders. “It really was an awful situation. It was traumatic and it changed my whole life. With that said, it’s amazing how such a negative experience has made such a positive difference in my life. I would have never had the opportunities I'm having today.”

She’ll be the first to admit learning a new sport has been a difficult challenge.

“As much as I want to say it was easy, it was not,” says Vair. “I played high school volleyball, but I definitely wasn't the best at it. For me, sports always came easy, and then I joined [sitting] volleyball and it wasn't something I was good at. I mean it's not fast on your feet - it's fast on your hands and on your butt.”

Despite the steep learning curve, Vair credits her teammates and coaches with continuing to support and push her.

“I'm still adapting and I’m still learning. The girls have been great with helping me learn new skills and changing a lot of my bad habits. As much as I would love to tell you it was just a breeze, I'm still struggling with it, but I'm improving every day.”

“The Kodiaks will always be my family”

Vair says words can’t describe how much the support she received from the entire Kodiaks family helped her through a very difficult recovery process. “I didn't realize how close the Kodiaks family was really until I was in the hospital,” says Vair.

She fondly remembers a special hospital visit from a Kodiaks alumni member – one she didn’t even know. “It’s amazing because it was someone who didn't know me, and I didn't go to the college with, but he was a part of the Kodiaks family and he wanted to be there to support me.”

Caughlin isn’t surprised to hear about that support from the extended Kodiaks community.

“We strive to create an environment where all of our Kodiaks are like family, and we are always there to support one another,” says Caughlin. “Once you’re a Kodiak, you’re always a Kodiak, and Payden is an important part of that culture. I know we’ll all be rallying around her again and cheering her on as she competes in Tokyo.”

Kodiaks soccer head soccer Sean Carey and his coaching staff were another group that made frequent hospital visits during Vair’s recovery and have ensured Vair remains connected to the team to this day.

“Having the Kodiaks just be there through my whole hospital experience made it feel like I was able to get through it,” says Vair. “Sean [Carey] and the rest of the coaching staff were amazing, always asking me if I needed anything. Honestly, it was the best. I wish I could attend the college forever. They were truly amazing in supporting me and I can't say thank you enough. I love being a Kodiak and I'm so thankful that I went to school there. The Kodiaks will always be my family.”

Training through the pandemic

With the Paralympics delayed and the world seemingly on pause, Vair found creative ways to continue her training – and also celebrated a major life moment, too. She tied the knot with husband Carson Vair in June 2020, hosting an intimate wedding on her parent’s farm.

With gyms and training facilities being shut down, she was able to continue her training thanks to the support of her husband and help from the community in her hometown of Cardston, Alta. Carson Vair constructed a temporary court out of plywood and puck board, allowing her to continue working on movement and volleyball-specific drills. As things began to open up, a family in the community offered her gym space at their home.

“I had a lot of people that reached out to me and just wanted to support me, and it was great that way, having access to gyms,” Vair says.

Ready to chase a medal

Canada enters the Paralympics ranked fifth in the world. After drawing into Pool A, the team will prepare for tough tests in the preliminary round, including matchups against host Japan and a Brazil side ranked third in the world.

“We're the underdogs going into this, but we're ready to compete and we're ready to play for a medal,” says Vair. “It's going to be tough but we're a grinding team and we're going to get there.”

While earning a medal is her main focus, Vair also hopes her team can inspire others back home and raise the profile of a game that has given her so much opportunity.

“I’m so excited that I got to reach the next level and represent such an amazing country,” says Vair. “I love the way that everything has turned out and I wouldn't change a thing. I mean, I would love to play soccer again but I’m also loving where I am with volleyball. I hope that the more I talk about it, the more people can learn about the Paralympics and sitting volleyball. It's such a cool sport and we're ready to compete for Canada.”

Vair and her teammates begin preliminary round action on Aug. 27 as they take on Brazil.

The Elephants Fountain 1

I decided to take the night train from Tours to Lyon and then switch to another going to Chambéry. I wanted to see the Elephants Fountain.

My only bag carries all my items. I like the all-in-one concept, the luggage turns into a ‘mobile camp’, where the carrier is entitled as a member of the digital nomadcommunity. Wherever the term digitalhas been applied, it means we can still confront the real world, not only physically but also by bringing in ideas, planning and our partial ‘digitalisation’. To reconsider storage, volume in space, weight in kilograms, archive, calculation… packing luggage becomes an art. Books are heavy, I use a kindle. Cotton and wool materials are heavy, I use easily compressed items. My laptop is heavy too, but I need its operation system, applications, and above most the full-size keyboard, as voice control and touch screen are still incomparable to input systems. My computer is my second brain, an intellectual powerhouse.

Whereas exception always exists. I had an experience being awoken at 3am by a moderate earthquake. The vibration was instantly established by the vertically shaking furniture and the only decision I could make in that moment in regards to packing was by no-packing, merely grabbing a backpack and looking for the nearest emergency evacuation point. When the real worldhappens to show its natural side, it makes me feel somewhat surreal.

Once packing is complete, the next process is just ready-set-go. It was about 30 minutes’ distance to walk down to the train station, accounting for enough time to throw in a coin into the vending machine for a café allongé, or rather a large coffee, within a plastic cup. A beautiful night with few passengers in the station hall, I stared at all of decorative sculptures on the walls, like a panoramic camera lens in slow motion. After a while, the time for departure came. The train was slightly late and so it almost made me miss the change in Saint-Pierre-des-Corps station. I often wonder if without the indication from the passenger in the next seat, would it be possible to jump-off and jump-on between platform and trains in such few minutes. Otherwise, I would be left in the middle of the journey, facing towards an insufficient narrative alteration.

19 Killed in Sita Air Crash

It’s very saddening to wake up early morning to news of yet another unfortunate plane crash in Nepal. 19 people died on board Sita Air on Friday morning very very shortly after take-off when the aircraft crashed near a riverbank in Bhaktapur. The nineteen are made up of seven Britons, seven Nepalis and five Chinese nationals. TIA civil aviation office have shared that the crash took place due to the aircraft hitting a flying bird. As written on Republica, “according to TIA GM Ratish Chandra Lal Suman, pilot Tendukar had informed the air traffic control before the crash that the plane had hit a bird”.

What is the missing link here? The plane hits a bird and such disaster strikes? This seems far too simple. We’ve heard and read about several instances when birds have obstructed the runway in Kathmandu airport and various other parts, if this is such a major problem that it could kill people then maybe its hightime we invest in some technology or people to keep the birds well away from the airport and its surroundings. I used to believe that Buddha Air was the safest Nepali airline until it crashed this time last year. Should we always travel in fear? More than that, with tourists dying, this negatively impacts on the growing tourism industry of our country. This crash will probably be followed up by some ‘panel’ to investigate the cause, once they do find the cause and submit a report will they ever do something to mitigate such disasters in the future? Bring new policies, set new rules, make training or flying more strict? So far it seems that public interest in such cases have rapidly vanished after few days of the crash and the aviation authorities too work in a very light manner.

To those that have always expressed their dissatisfaction with the domestic airlines in Nepal, I have consistently shared my optimism and hope. Gave examples that our country has one of the most challenging terrains in the world; flying is bound to be difficult and some crashes are likely to occur I said. However, things are [always have] starting to take the piss. The irrational side of me says, airlines with several crashes in their CV should just be put out of service.RIP.

  1. The thing to think about here is not only the situation of the old planes but also the rescue operations which are held when such disaster occurs, which unfortunately is very poor..According to the witnesses of the incident, many lives could have been saved had there been some rescue on time..Most of the casualties occured due to the fire after the plane hit the ground.Even though the site was very near to the airport, the recue team reache there very late.It is something to think about..

Recent Supreme Court decision affects when copyright lawsuits can be filedA recent U.S. Supreme Court decision impacted when a lawsuit can be brought for copyright infringement. (Depositphotos)

Supreme Court decision affects when copyright suits can be filed

Nancy Del Pizzo: The decision standardizes when a lawsuit can be brought at federal courts around the country.

A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision impacted when a lawsuit can be brought for copyright infringement.

The high court held on March 4 in Fourth Estate Public Benefit Corp. v., LLC that a party must have already obtained a registration from the U.S. Copyright Office prior to bringing a copyright infringement lawsuit.

Previously, in some circuits, a copyright infringement suit could be brought as long as a copyright application had been filed with the U.S. Copyright Office.

“Primarily, the decision standardizes when a party is able to file a copyright infringement lawsuit across the country,” said Nancy Del Pizzo, a partner in the intellectual property group at Uniondale-based Rivkin Radler. The Second Circuit, which includes New York, “already required a copyright plaintiff to obtain registration before filing a lawsuit, but it was not the case everywhere.” For instance, the Ninth Circuit, which includes California, held that a plaintiff need only have submitted the application before bringing a suit.

“I think it’s a good decision in that it adds clarity to this issue of whether you need an issued registration from the U.S. Copyright Office or if filing an application was good enough,” said Anthony Bennett, a partner at Syosset intellectual property law firm Hoffmann & Baron.

The fact that some circuit courts required a registration before filing a lawsuit and others didn’t led in some cases to forum shopping.

“Let’s say a plaintiff who lives in California created an original work of authorship and was alleging a company based in New York was infringing on his copyright,” Del Pizzo said. “If he didn’t have the registration in place, he may look to sue in California, especially if the deadline for the three-year statute of limitations is approaching.”

It can take up to a year to obtain registration, unless the applicant opts for the speedier but more expensive special handling provision, Del Pizzo said.

The government fee for filing for a copyright registration is $55, Bennett said. This does not include any legal fees. There is an $800 fee to expedite the application, according to Del Pizzo.

The Supreme Court decision reinforces the importance of filing a copyright application as soon as possible after a work is completed, Bennett said.

When individuals write a book or a song, they often decide right away that they want to protect it, and they understand that they need to file a copyright application, Bennett said.

But when businesses have a website or brochure, or they’re creating a lot of content throughout the year, they sometimes don’t know whether it’s worthwhile to file for a registration, Bennett said.

“There is not necessarily a thought that one particular work is important enough to go through the registration process,” he said. “When I talk to clients, I tell them that if they would be upset or it would be damaging to their business if something were copied – if they spent a lot of money, time and effort creating it – that they would want to go forward and get a registration.”

Sometimes businesses take an approach of ‘Maybe I’ll put something out there and wait till someone infringes on it and start the proceedings then,’” he said.

But if claimants do not have a registration prior to the infringement happening, “they lose the opportunity to collect statutory damages and attorney’s fees,” Bennett said. “That’s something you’re entitled to if you file the application right away.”

Further, by getting the application in early, hopefully the registration will come in before the infringement occurs, allowing the copyright holder to take swift legal action against infringers.

Creators of original works such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software or architecture own a copyright to their work just by creating it. But without obtaining copyright registration, they cannot enforce their rights.

“If your work is out there since June 1 and someone started infringing on June 2, you can seek damages back to that first act of copying once you get the registration,” Bennett said. “So you have protection in that sense, but you can’t go into court and enforce it until you get registration. Congress and the Copyright Office want to promote registration. If you have a work, they want you to register it. That’s why they give you these benefits: statutory damages and the ability to file a lawsuit.”

The Persecution of the Wolves – Lucy Felthouse – Spotlight #Paranormal #Werewolves #Shifter

OUT NOW—The Persecution of the Wolves by Lucy Felthouse (@cw1985) #paranormal #wolves #werewolves #shifter #thriller

Someone’s got it in for the Adams brothers. But who? And why?

Werewolf brothers Matthew and Isaac have lived in the peaceful village of Eyam, Derbyshire all their lives. The villagers know what they are, and have their reasons for keeping quiet. But this secrecy comes at a cost—the brothers can’t risk romantic entanglements.

Then, at the next full moon, a sheep is slaughtered on Eyam Moor, by what could only be a large animal. Even the brothers’ staunchest supporters begin to have their doubts about who—or what—could have done it.

As the brothers fight to clear their names, things are complicated by unexpected opportunities to indulge their lust. Isaac is intrigued by a handsome newcomer to the village, and a vivacious visitor is happy to offer Matthew her all.

Can the men prove their innocence, or is their centuries-old secret about to be revealed to the outside world, bringing their carefully crafted existence crashing down around their ears?

Please note: This book has been previously published. This version has been re-edited.

Universal Link:

Chapter One

Modern day Eyam

As Matthew and Isaac Adams stepped through the front door to their house, the telephone started ringing. Matthew sighed. “Typical. No rest for the wicked. I’ll answer it—you go and get ready for work.”

Isaac nodded and headed off to do as his brother advised. Matthew, the older of the two, walked up to the ringing phone and snatched it off the hook. Then, remembering the person on the other end of the line would have no idea what a rough night he’d just had, he made the effort to inject some politeness into his tone.

“Hello? Adams residence.” Isaac had told him time and time again the last part about the residence was old fashioned, that people didn’t say that anymore, but Matthew couldn’t seem to shake it.

“Hello, Matthew? It’s Richard.” The village vicar’s voice, even though he’d only spoken four words, sounded strained, almost panicked. “You boys just get back?”

“Yes, a moment ago. Why, what’s up?”

“I, uh… I got a call. A dead sheep has been found up on the moor. Not just dead. Mutilated. Like an animal attack.”

An unpleasant feeling wormed its way under Matthew’s skin and his stomach flipped. “Oh?” He paused, then figured he had nothing to gain by not saying the next words he wanted to. “You don’t think it was us?”

The vicar’s gasp was instant, one of genuine surprise. “Lord, no! Absolutely not. I just phoned to let you know and I was wondering if you’d come up there with me and take a look? You and Isaac are probably more qualified than anyone else in the village to tell what did this.”

“Isaac has to work. He just went to get ready. But yes, I’ll come up. I’ll let my brother know where I’m going, then I’ll be straight over. Are you at the rectory?”

“Yes. Okay, I’ll see you soon. Thanks, Matthew. Bye.”

Matthew hung up the phone with another sigh. The horrible feeling that had crept under his skin and taken over his gut seemed as if it was there to stay, and it was never a good sign. The vicar’s news was surprising, yes, but he also had an inkling it was going to spell trouble, or at the very least inconvenience for him and his brother.

Pulling in a deep breath in an attempt to calm his jangling nerves, Matthew walked upstairs and towards his brother’s bedroom. The door was closed. He knocked. “You decent?”

“Yeah,” Isaac replied, “close enough.”

Matthew stepped into the room and looked at his brother. He was half-dressed, almost ready for his shift at the doctors’ surgery, where he was a general practitioner. “Sorry to interrupt, mate, but that was Richard on the phone. Someone’s found a mutilated sheep up on the moor, and he’s asked me to go with him to check it out.”

Isaac paused with one arm pushed into his shirtsleeve. “He doesn’t think—”

“No. He was quite adamant about that. He just thought we’d be able to help figure out what did it. I explained you’ve got to go to work, though. I’m going to head across there now and go up with him.”

“I could phone in, let them know I’ll be late.”

Matthew held up his hand. “There’s no need, brother. Relax. Just go to work and help the sick people. I’ll let you know what—if anything—I find out.”

Isaac opened his mouth, then closed it again, apparently having thought better of whatever he was going to say. He continued to dress. “All right, I will. But make sure you let me know what happens. Send me a text or something, and I’ll phone you as soon as I have a gap in between patients.”

Matthew grimaced. He hated texting. Hated mobile phones, actually. Technology was one of the things he disliked most about modern-day life, though it was a necessary evil. It solved as many problems for him and his brother as it created, so he dealt with it as best he could. Fortunately, Isaac had always had an affinity with computers and phones, so he tutored Matthew.

“Yes, all right. I’d better go and find my phone first then, eh?”

Smirking at his brother’s rolled eyes, he left the room and headed for his own bedroom, where he thought he’d left the device the previous night before he and Isaac had headed for the caves. On spotting the mobile phone—which Isaac often made a point of telling him was akin to a brick—he grabbed it, stuffed it into his pocket, and made his way downstairs.

Retrieving his keys from the hook by the front door, he called up to his brother. “I’m going now, Isaac. I’ll see you after my shift at the pub. I’m working until closing time.”

“Okay. Don’t forget to keep me posted.”

“I won’t.” As if he could forget. The dead sheep was going to be a big thing, he just knew it. The vicar might not think he and his brother had anything to do with it, but some of the other villagers might. When there was no proof either way, just his and Isaac’s word, it was understandable, really. Since he and his brother changed into wolves every full moon, it was a natural conclusion to draw. Particularly since wolves had been extinct in England for over five hundred years.

Release Blitz for Hasty – Julia Kent

Out Now—HASTY (Do-Over Series Book 4) by Julia Kent (@jkentauthor) #romcom #romance

Author: Julia Kent

Release date:  July 28, 2020

Genre: Romantic Comedy, Contemporary Romance

Cover Designer:  Hang Le

Editor: Elisa Reed

I never thought my perp walk would lead to true love.

Then again, I never thought I’d be arrested on RICO charges and hauled away in zip ties on camera for the world to see, minutes after closing the most amazing deal of my career.

And all of it in front of my biggest rival, billionaire wunderkind Ian McRory.

I am broke.

I am disgraced.

I am alone.

I am a sucker.

But the worst part? I have to go back to my hometown and live in my bedroom filled with relics from my childhood.

Lisa Frank never made me so mad before.

Just when I needed a rescue, I got one — in the form of help from my biggest rival.

He can’t bring back my money.

He certainly can’t bring back my reputation or my pride.

But there’s one thing he can bring back to me.

A sense of hope.

Maybe even love.

Ian sees something in me no one else does, and he’s relentless about making me see it, too. As we grow closer, I’m starting to see that while my entire life used to be a lie, the truth is staring me in the present — and it’s a truth I like very, very much, hot eyes and gorgeous smile and all.

But I have to be careful.

I can’t be too —

That’s right.

The final book in the USA Today bestselling Do-Over Series (Fluffy, Perky, Feisty), as Mallory’s sister, Hastings “Hasty” Monahan gets her turn at a happily ever after that starts off with an arrest.

Author Bio:

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julia Kent writes romantic comedy with an edge. Since 2013, she has sold more than 2 million books, with 4 New York Times bestsellers and more than 19 appearances on the USA Today bestseller list. Her books have been translated into French and German, with more titles releasing in 2020 and beyond.

From billionaires to BBWs to new adult rock stars, Julia finds a sensual, goofy joy in every contemporary romance she writes. Unlike Shannon from Shopping for a Billionaire, she did not meet her husband after dropping her phone in a men’s room toilet (and he isn’t a billionaire she met in a romantic comedy).

She lives in New England with her husband and three children where she is the only person in the household with the gene required to change empty toilet paper rolls.

Amazon Author Page:

 Today is the best day of my life.

I know people say that, and they mean it, but they don’t mean this. My best day is better than anyone else’s. Trust me.

I know.

I’m sitting at a table at Essentialz, a five-star restaurant in San Francisco. Everyone at the table watches me as I tuck the signed paperwork away in my black Bottega Veneta woven leather brief bag.

I, Hastings Monahan, just signed a nine-figure investment deal on behalf of the venture capital firm I work for.

Full partner, here I come.

Of course, lawyers will handle the majority of this. The signatures are symbolic as much as they are legal. But the fellow diners at my carefully crafted table will go back to China with an exciting opportunity for their company, Zhangwa Telecommunications, to enter the North American market with climate-change technology projecting yields that are the best aphrodisiac ever.

As I sip from my glass of Montrachet Grand Cru, I catch the eye of Ming Bannerton, a consultant with Zhangwa whose father is a high-ranking U.S State Department official in China, a woman who has a hunger for financial success that I can spot in anyone in three seconds flat. There’s something special about a fellow hustler–and when I use the word hustler, I don’t mean it pejoratively.

People who hustle get things done.

We connect. We network. We pattern match. We ruthlessly apply what we intuitively feel to what we operationally know in order to produce optimal outcomes.

In short–we hustle.

And we win.

But in competition, there can only be one winner.

Tonight, I’m it.

Her smile mirrors mine, red lips stretched over perfectly white teeth that are as straight as a new picket fence. The smile doesn’t reach her eyes, but an intensity infuses her. She’s about five years younger than me, with a knowing eye that tells me we need to stay in touch. Someday soon, she may shoot past me, and that’s where all the legwork pays off.

In this business, you network down as well as you network up, if you want to get anywhere.

And the manila folder resting in my brief bag, the one that feels like a warm gold ingot pressed against my lips? That, ladies and gentlemen, is how you get somewhere.

“Where is Burke?” Mr. Zhao Bai asks, his head at a slight tilt, a gesture of genuine curiosity as his eyes survey me, looking for information that doesn’t come directly from my mouth. He’s the youngest of the four men at the table, a fast talker who looks around the room like he’s a mob boss. Negotiating with him took a steady hand I didn’t know I possessed, but now I understand.

Burke is part of the deal, and I didn’t realize it.

The contracts are signed, though. That makes my husband an off-the-books addendum. No matter what, this is my accomplishment.

My husband, Burke Oonaj, is one of the hottest market makers in finance right now. Even he will have no choice but to be impressed by the deal I’ve just put together.

But the inquiry about my husband makes my uterus fall.

And it’s not like he’s around to catch it.

“Good question,” I say before taking another sip of wine, needing to buy myself a smidgen of space and time. I only need a split second.

For some reason that I can’t explain, my emotions are tangling in my mind, and that’s an unpredictable variable I have to weed out.

My heart feels strangely heavy in my chest, a sense of dread filling me that has no right to be here. This is MY night, I tell that sense of dread. This is MY deal. This is my culmination of six years of careful work, all coming together, right now.

Go away, dread.

But Mr. Zhao’s question is a good one, because Burke isn’t answering any of my texts or emails or phone calls, and hasn’t for the last three days.

My husband has disappeared.

Not literally, of course, because husbands don’t just do that. Business travel can be intense. Plenty of stretches of time have gone by without hearing from him. They involved twenty-four hours or less, though.

Not eighty-one hours and thirteen minutes.

Not that I’m counting.

I can’t admit any of this to anyone at this table, of course, so instead, I give what my pattern-matching brain tells me is the optimal answer, designed to make me look good.

“Burke’s fine,” I say with a grin, the glass of wine still full enough to make more sips look like an appropriate response. “He sends his best regards. He would have been here tonight, but… you know.”

Two of the men share a look I don’t like. It’s a fleeting glance, the type that is practiced and meant to look like nothing. You think I’m paranoid, that I’m inventing it all?

I’m in a state of hyperarousal.

No, not the sexual kind. Haven’t felt that in a long time, at least not with Burke. My hyperarousal is based around the stress hormones pumping through me from the excitement of what I just accomplished.

Me. Myself. Alone.

Independent of Burke.

As workday smiles stretch to become the more casual, intimate grins of people enjoying bottle after bottle of excellent wine, I loosen up. The answer I gave them sufficed. We can move on.

My body feels numb and excited at the same time. I’m on top of the world. The pinnacle.

I am Peak Hastings.

Which is why, when the maître d’ approaches my side, I don’t pick up on the gravity of his whisper. No one would. Because learning that my credit card has been declined for this business dinner is definitely not part of the plan, and the areas of my brain assigned to processing language literally can’t comprehend it.

“It’s what?” I whisper, standing carefully, legs still steady, my alcohol consumption measured, even if my tablemates have made their way through more wine than an entire wedding party back home.

The maître d’, José, gives me a wide-eyed but polite look. “I’m sorry, Ms. Monahan. This has never happened before when you’ve dined with us. But the credit card company was very firm. You cannot use this one.”

Mr. Zhao gives me an inquiring look. My stomach sinks. Did he overhear?

“Will you all excuse me?” I tell them, hating the disruption, my legs turning into two steel beams covered in chilled skin.

“Something must be wrong with the credit card processor,” I snap at the maître d’ as I hurry away from my group. I want to get the taint of this failure out of the way and get back to my stellar success.

Once we’re out of sight of my table, I rifle through my purse and find another business credit card. “Use this one. And let me be very clear, to you and to your boss, that this is absolutely, abjectly unacceptable.”

He inserts the card, chip side in. “I realize this, Ms. Monahan, but we cannot…”

He stares at the credit card terminal.

I read the display upside down. “Declined!” I hiss. “This is impossible! That card has no limit!”

“Perhaps you’ve had your identity stolen, or there are fraud alerts on your account? Perhaps you’re the victim of a financial crime?” José suggests.

“I can’t be the victim of a financial crime!” I snap at him. “I’m a financial expert! This doesn’t happen to people like me. Here!” I shove a third company card at him. This one better work.

I only have one more.

My mind races ahead, conjuring contingency plans, even as my cheeks burn with shame.

Why would I feel shame for someone else’s mistake? And yet, there it is, and I have to override it fast. Because if I don’t, it gets a toehold.

And that is the fastest way to lose your edge.

José closes his eyes and lets out a sigh through his nose, a split second before the display terminal beeps.

“Your computer system is down,” I declare, pulling out the fourth card and my phone, texting my office manager. Maybe something went wrong. Maybe José is right. Maybe we were hacked. But this is surreal enough to let the dread come inside me and have a seat, as it decides whether to become an overnight guest.

It doesn’t matter. What matters is that I’m staring at a mid-four-figure bill that I owe, right now, and have no way to settle.

This cannot be happening.

As he runs the fourth card, the main door opens. My spine straightens, calves stretching tall, and not just from the five-inch heels I’m wearing.

I know that man.

I hate that man.

And he’s the last person on Earth I want to see in the middle of this debacle.

Ian McCrory cannot see me like this.

I’m Serena LeStrange, a necromancer who prefers to hide her freakishly fabulous skills from others. Only my sister makes me feel less of a weirdo, so when she mysteriously vanishes from college, I enroll at Macabre Academy to start my own investigation.
Except this is no ordinary school for the magically inclined, it’s home to all monsters—even the most dangerous ones.

To complicate matters, I get stuck with a ghostly genie sidekick and suspect a sinister sorority of misdeeds.
But to solve the mystery, I’ll need all the help I can get. Someone at Macabre knows what happened to my sister, and I won’t stop until I dig up the truth.

My Author Gang – Check out these awesome books

My author gang banner

The Author Gang

Author friends who write alone but come together from time to time to help each other and have fun.

Our stories will make you wonder, laugh, shake with fear or shed a few tears, but most of all, give you escape from the burdens of everyday life. Check out our books and find yourself whisked away to lands and places you’ve never been.

The Author Gang:

Erika M Szabo

“The writing bug bit me on a rainy afternoon when I couldn’t find any new book to read. My daughter had enough of my moping around and snapped at me, “Mom, stop whining! If you haven’t a book to read, then write one.” Her challenge shocked me, but I started playing with the idea and I’ve been writing stories, that I like to read, ever since.”

Erika loves to dance to her own tunes and follow her dreams, introduces her story writing skills and her books that are based on creative imagination with themes such as alternate history, urban fantasy, cozy mystery, sweet romance and supernatural stories. Her children’s stories are informative, educational, and deliver moral values in a non-preachy way.

“I followed my dream to become a writer. As an artist, I paint pretty pictures with my brushes, and as a writer, I paint vivid pictures with my words.”

Cindy J. Smith

I was taught if I couldn’t say anything nice don’t say anything. Since biting my tongue was painful and soap tasted bad, I developed voices arguing inside my head. When I found writing my thoughts brought me some silence, I took up the pen. It was not long before I realized poetry was much easier than full sentences and I could say exactly what was in my heart.

Strangely, I soon noticed I could put myself in others shoes and empathize with their viewpoint.

It was my daughter who encouraged me to share my poems. She believed they would help others cope…letting them know they were not alone in their thoughts.

I write now about every aspect of life in hopes someone may be touched and be encouraged to keep trying.

Christina Weigand

A writer, wife, and mother of four grown children. She is also Nana to five granddaughters. She lives with her husband and youngest daughter in Pennsylvania after a short sabbatical in the lovely state of Washington. She has three published YA Christian Fantasy novels; Palace of the Twelve Pillars: Book One, Palace of the Three Crosses: Book Two and Sanctuary of Nine Dragons: Book Three. She also has a woman’s Bible study Women of the Bible: A Study published. Recently the first two books in a MG Fantasy series were published, Sir E. Robert Smythe and the School Bully and Sir E. Robert Smythe and the Lost Detective with the remaining four to be published the near future. Through her writing she strives to share the Word of God and help people young and old to realize the love and mercy He has for everyone.

Darlene Deluca

“Books . . . chocolate . . . tea. These are a few of my favorite things. Combine them with a sunny summer day, and perhaps a beach or pool, and call me happy!”

Deluca writes women’s fiction, contemporary romance, and mainstream fiction with romantic elements.

She likes to explore relationships – what brings people together or keeps them apart. Her intent is to bring to life interesting characters that readers can relate to in real-life situations that combine a little fun, plenty of drama (with perhaps a tear or two), and big helpings of friendship, love and self-discovery, and will leave you either cheering or sighing with a satisfied smile as you turn the final page.

And just so you know . . . she likes a happy, or at least a positive, ending.

Alan Zacher

Author of private investigator mysteries, humorous occult fiction, fantasy adventure fiction, and short stories. After many years of being a “struggling” actor in LA, Alan turned to writing.

“My writing has always been for entertainment–to put a smile on someone’s face who might be having a bad day. I write, mostly, light-horror and murder/mystery. I like these two genres because of the freedom they give me to explore man’s inner emotions, feelings and emotions–but it must always have humor! We must always laugh; mostly at ourselves. I have had MS for serval years now; I know physical and mental pain; so I need much laughter to endure it. Hopefully, my novels do just that–give you much laughter.”

Carol Ann Kauffman

Carol Ann’s books range from short stories to full-length novels. Her novels are classified as romantic action adventures with a sci-fi/ fantasy twist, and mysteries. Theyre about life, love, loss, and lunacy. She is a retired teacher. She has worked as a printer, managed a department store office, worked as an insurance agent, and in the hardware and automotive industries. She was a Red Cross volunteer.

Carol loves to travel; her favorite places being Italy, Aruba, and the American Southwest, which tend to show up in her novels.

“I also love to stay home. I get lost in my own little world, where I always have more than a few stories in progress. I grow orchids and African violets, and still like to play in the dirt!”

Suzi Albracht

I am the author of Supernatural Horror Crime Thrillers and Paranormal Romance/Ghost novels. My characters have full, normal lives that get twisted into something horrific or intensely strange. Whether they become a ghost and discover a new, undead world to roam or find themselves in pursuit of a dangerous madman with connections to the dark underworld, I want my readers to feel their pain, their joy, their fear… with every right or wrong turn they take along the way.

While I humbly submit that my main influences are Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and William Faulkner, my style leans closer to that of early Stephen King. My twitter bio describes me to a T – Write, scare myself, turn all the lights on, write some more. Take a break, play pool, kick butt/get butt kicked, go write more horror, double lock door.

You can find my books at: Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Kobo.

Randall Krzak

A U.S. Army veteran and retired senior civil servant, spending thirty years in Europe, Africa, Central America, and the Middle East. His residency abroad qualifies him to build rich worlds in his action-adventure novels and short stories. Familiar with customs, laws, and social norms, he promotes these to create authentic characters and scenery.

He holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Maryland and two master’s from Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh. Randall and his Scottish wife, Sylvia, currently reside in Dunfermline, Scotland. His

hobbies include hiking, reading, candle making, pyrography, and sightseeing.

Why did Randall become a writer? Someone suggested he give it a try, so Randall blames his friend. Randall ventured into fiction writing later in life, with his first novel being released at age 62. In just over three years, he’s published four novels. He enjoys reading and writing global thrillers and has three more underway.

Rebecca Tran

I am a mother, pharmacist and author. I love all things fantasy and sci-fi. Romance is always a welcome bonus. I have two little girls and I love dogs,I have two of those as well, a Boston Terrier and a Pittie mix. So technically some would say I have four kids. I am currently working on my blog as well as my romance and fantasy series. I am the ultimate nerd who can’t choose between Star Wars and Star Trek and thinks that Dr Who would figure out a way to beat all of them. I still read comic books and love watching anime. We can talk for hours if you know who Kirito, Naruto, or Goku are. If you’d like to read my blog or know more about me or my books, please check out my website.

A.L. Butcher

British-born A. L. Butcher is an avid reader and creator of worlds, a poet, and a dreamer, a lover of science, natural history, history, and monkeys. Her prose has been described as ‘dark and gritty’ and her poetry as ‘evocative’. She writes with a sure and sometimes erotic sensibility of things that might have been, never were, but could be.

Alex is the author of the Light Beyond the Storm Chronicles and the Tales of Erana lyrical fantasy series. She also has several short stories in the fantasy, fantasy romance genres with occasional forays into gothic style horror, including the Legacy of the Mask series. With a background in politics, classical studies, ancient history and myth, her affinities bring an eclectic and unique flavour in her work, mixing reality and dream in alchemical proportions that bring her characters and worlds to life.

L.L. Thomsen

Pick up one of L. L. Thomsen’s high fantasy books and you get treated to an explosion of immersive prose, complicated characters, mystery and plots. Her main world, Dallancea, is home to nine realms and a wealth of races – some known, some entirely new. You do not have to be familiar with fantasy to enjoy the books, but those who are will recognise her zest to spin you an epic tale of complexity and to explore her characters to the core.

“I invented my first character when I was around five years old,” L. L. laughs, “they lived in my head and took me on adventures at bedtime after ‘lights out. These days I allow them onto paper. There’s not enough space in my head anymore.”

L. L. currently lives with her family + two cats and a dog, in the back-of-beyond near the Sherwood Forrest, U.K.

PJ Mann

My name is Paula and I write novels. I live with my husband and a rabbit. I work as an engineering geologist at a construction firm in Finland, and only in my spare time, I sit down at my desk writing stories. You can consider me a sort of wandering writer, and I try, as much as possible, to be on the move. My stories are strongly influenced by what I experience and see during my travels around the world. I am a multigenre author, but the red wire of my novels is the suspense/drama.

I love to walk in nature with my camera; photography is another of my passions. I believe it’s very closely

connected to writing novels as every image tells a story, for those who stop to listen.

R.M. Garino

How now, folks. I’m R.M. Garino, the author of the Chaos of Souls Series. Ever wish you could bring your D&D characters to life? Well, that’s exactly what we did. Although the overarching story of angels and demons is much older, our two main characters were fleshed out from a D&D game my wife and I played with friends ages ago. They’re introduced, along with their misfit squads, in The Gates of Golorath, and their adventures continue throughout the series. We’ve also released a standalone series, the Chaos of Souls Novellas, which capture separate side stories that enrich the main series. Requiem’s Reach is the first volume, and we continue from there. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, somewhat irreverent fantasy that puts the stories and character first, then come on over and give us a read.

The Prophet Trilogy Blog Tour

False Gods
The Prophet Trilogy Book 1
by Don Newton
Genre: Epic Fantasy
How many gods do you really need? Erador has more than its share…
In a strange multiverse ruled by magic and immortals, the last remaining souls, fleeing the destruction of Earth, struggle to survive. The Draggons want them dead. The gods want more power. But the humans want to live, and there’s only one sorceress who can make that happen. The fate of humanity is in her hands – so, no pressure…
Gods always want more power…
The Civil War fractured their world, and the gods just made it worse. Now their followers are split into four separate factions, and they all hate each other. Riots and bombings force further divisions among them, and the leaders are at a loss about what to do. Most of them, anyway.
Heroes are sometimes girls…
Alisha Callus rose through the sorceress ranks, mastering the Orphic currents and learning to bend space and reality to her will. Now, she’s the last Adeptus Supreme on Erador, and she has to kill a god. But she’s not sure she can.
Gods don’t like to be killed…
But sometimes, they deserve it.
Can one Sorceress, two Draggons, four warriors, and a god crush this evil influence from existence? Follow this ragtag band of heroes on an epic quest to free their world from an immortal’s vicious grasp. Who knows, they might do it…
**Only .99 cents!!**
The Prophet Trilogy Book 2
Revenge is always sweeter face to face…
The false god, Zaril, died in a blazing bolt of light, victim to the wrath of an Adeptus Supreme. Now, it’s Kat’s turn for some payback. All she can see through the red tinge of hate that fills her eyes is the face of her lover’s killer. The fact that he’s also her father barely weighs on her mind. He chose his side, and now he’ll pay for his decision.
The Prophet Trilogy Book 3
The Draggon King, Darkonus, died at the hands of his daughter – the cold steel of her dagger taking his life, and the void-wraith trapped within sucking his soul away. Now Kat has ascended to the Draggon throne and become their Queen.
The Trial of Sa’riya
Prelude to The Prophet Trilogy
Draggons are the worst…
The war with the Draggons is raging, and only the battle-hardened Na’Geena warriors can stand against them. They have the weapons that can kill them, and the Griffins they ride are the mortal enemies of the lizards. There’s a chance they could be defeated, but they have allies in the Eradorians, and a secret mission could turn the tide and destroy the Draggon King. Only a god can make it work. But will he help?
Ok, her twin sister was killed, but it was an accident…
When the Carolonian sun exploded, Zi’anna was caught in the blast-wave, and even her immortality and the powers of the K’Pa couldn’t save her from certain death. Now, the immortal’s Elder Council wants her sister, Sa’riya, to pay for that loss, with her life… But not all of them…
Follow along as the trial unfolds. Will they find her guilty? Would you?

Here Comes Earth Book 1
by William Lee Gordon
Genre: Science Fiction
Where did mankind really come from? Why are we here?
We can’t understand the past until we embrace the future.
These critical mysteries take center stage as Earth emerges into a Galactic Society that is far more perilous than anyone could have imagined. Our history is far more complicated than we could have known. Can a few brilliant minds find a way out for Earth?
One saving grace is that there are those that believe ancient clues foretell that Earth has a destiny, and if we can survive our present difficulties we might just find out what that destiny is…
Dr. Mark Spencer was a young and up and coming history and anthropology professor who was all too familiar with what happens to less advanced civilizations when suddenly exposed to others of considerably higher technology. There’s only one survivor and the culture witnessing magic isn’t it.
When modern day Earth suddenly finds itself on the losing end of that proposition a team of the world’s best scientists is put together to find a solution.
Of course the advanced society being friendly, Earth’s citizens uniting, and the world’s politicians working together for the common good would help tremendously, but… what if none of that were true?
Here Comes Earth Book 2
The Galaxy is Filled with Humans… They Know More about Our Past than We Do…
Some will Fight for Us; Some will try to Destroy Us… Earthers are Special; But do we Really Want our Destiny?
Mark and Julie are brilliant scientists and Major Reagan has kept them and others alive to this point, but the most dangerous confrontations will not be with the Noridians, it will be with the Lower Houses of The Accord.
Destiny is a thought-provoking journey that will cause you to inspect your basic values. From what it really means to be human to wondering if there’s room in the universe for God.
It’s also a fun read.
Here Comes Earth Book 3
The Long-Awaited Conclusion to the HERE COMES EARTH Series…
Earth’s Diaspora is well underway and the colonies are flourishing. There are Dynasties of The Accord, however, that resent Earth’s expansion. Charli Morgan and Lucca Spelini each lead their respective teams from colony to colony, preventing interference and keeping the peace.
Standing up to the Dynasties is one thing, but what happens when Lower Houses of The Accord start butting in?
Dr. Mark Spencer hasn’t been heard from in years until he suddenly shows up one day. The news he brings… isn’t good.

TLoDOne soul. One pact with the Devil. One chance at love.

Elizabeth Murray has been condemned to burn at the stake. As she awaits her fate, a strange, handsome man visits her cell. He offers her a deal: her soul in return for immortality, but what he offers is not a normal life. To survive Elizabeth must become Death itself.

Elizabeth must ease the passing of all those who die, appearing at the point of death and using her compassion to guide them over the threshold. She accepts and, for 500 years, whirls from one death to the next, never stopping to think of the life she never lived. Until one day, everything changes. She – Death – falls in love.

Desperate to escape the terms of her deal, she summons the man who saved her. He agrees to release her on one condition: that she gives him five lives. These five lives she must take herself, each one more difficult and painful than the last.

Lucy Booth Author Photo

The writing of The Life of Death is as remarkable as the story it tells. Lucy Booth was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011 and died in 2016. During those five years she wrote this novel and it was her last wish to have it published posthumously.

Many thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me to join the blog tour for The Life of Death. I got the email, I read the blurb and I immediately knew I wanted to read this book. Having learned that the book is being published posthumously, I could link the setting, the characters, the emotion and thoughts around death, hope and hopelessness, and the yearning for love and life to reality. Because Lucy wrote something that spoke to my soul…

The main character in this book is Lizzy. The opening scenes take us to 1500s where Lizzy is about to be burned at the stake for being a witch. But then, Devil comes to her in the last few moments and makes her a deal… die on the stake without feeling pain and be reborn as Death. Death, the Devil’s aid to being there for humans in their last moments.

As Lizzy fills her deathly role, not taking lives, but simply being there in those last moments, it is only natural that as a bystander on the other side, she will start to crave what she cannot no longer have. She was, after all, rather young when the deal was struck. So, when she unexpectedly finds herself deeply, obsessively in love, she will find another way, another deal that might give her the chance for a happy life.

The Life of Death will make the reader process the most horrid, sad and heart wrenching moments. Lizzy’s own internal battle to kill without remorse to get what she wants rages against the humanity left in her, even as Death. I truly found this book captivating, in the most bittersweet way. The ‘will she or won’t she’ game in between her selfish motivations and the unwillingness to let go of her selfless self. There are many moments of dying and death, many moments of loved ones being taken from this life too soon or too alone. Moments of grief and the feelings of how unfair it is that another life has been lost. Moments that us, readers, have more than likely had to endure in our lifetimes and as such can bring back painful memories… But…

The raw moments of emotion as life teeters to death have been written with utmost care many times over and I can’t help but think that Lucy Booth tapped into her most innermost thoughts as she battled with a devil of her own. The ending for our main character Lizzy is inevitable and will yet remain a very intriguing mystery to you… Did she strike a deal with the Devil and get away with it? Did she get a second chance at life? Read yourself to find out.

    From: Martin Schaefer <schaefemrz.uni-leipzig.de>
    Subject: review of Chierchia & McConnell-Ginet, Meaning and Grammar

    Chierchia, Gennaro, and Sally McConnell-Ginet (2000) Meaning and Grammar: An Introduction to Semantics, 2nd ed. MIT Press, xv+573pp, paperback ISBN 0-262-03269-4, $35.00 (1st ed., 1990).

    Martin Sch�fer, Institute of Linguistics, University of Leipzig.

    DESCRIPTION OF THE BOOK'S PURPOSE AND CONTENT This is a textbook introducing formal semantics to students with little or no knowledge of logic and some of linguistics. It was announced at http://linguistlist.org/issues/11/11-608.html.

    SYNOPSIS The book consists of nine chapters and one appendix. Chapter one: The empirical domain of semantics, pp. 1-52. This chapter sets the stage for the book: it will focus on truth conditional semantics within a generative framework. Problems for this approach are sketched.

    Chapter two: Denotation, Truth, and Meaning, pp. 53-112. Here, the distinction between sense and reference is introduced. The importance of full sentences for interpretation is pointed out. A fragment of English F_1 is introduced and some problems discussed.

    Chapter three: Quantification and Logical Form, pp. 113-193. Quantification in English and the idea of quantifier raising is discussed. A new fragment is introduced, and pronouns are dealt with.

    Chapter four: Speaking, Meaning, and Doing, pp. 195-255. Covers pragmatics classics Grice and Austin. The authors also introduce the main idea behind dynamic semantics.

    Chapter five: Intensionality, pp. 257-328. An elementary intensional logic is introduced, along with a new fragment.

    Chapter six: Contexts: Indexicality, Discourse, and Presupposition, pp. 329-389. Introduces an new stage in language interpretation, namely the relativization to context, and discusses presuppositions in great detail.

    Chapter seven: Lambda abstraction, pp. 392-429. Introduces lambda abstraction. In discussing its application for cases like dis/conjunction, relative clauses and VP anaphora, its usefulness is shown.

    Chapter eight: Word meaning, pp. 431-500. Discusses decomposition and alternative approaches. The need for more types (for adj. like 'former') and more primitives (like 'events') is discussed. Via the discussion of theta-roles it ends in a discussion of fuzzy vs. supervaluational logic in dealing with semantic imprecision.

    Chapter nine: Generalized Quantifiers, pp. 501-528. Introduces generalized quantifiers and shows their advantages. Shortest chapter.

    Appendix: Set-Theoretic Notation and Concepts, pp. 529-540 This is a basic but good introduction to the set-theoretic notation and concepts used throughout the book.

    Changes from the first edition: according to the authors, chapter three, five, seven and eight were substantially rewritten. It is now intended to be modular, meaning that after the third chapter, everything necessary for the rest is introduced.

    CRITICAL EVALUATION Since this is a second addition, and assuming that the first edition's success already has established this book's overall quality, I will not discuss the merits of the book but rather show what I still think to be inadequate. Furthermore, I will look at it purely from the student's point of view. (For the teacher's viewpoint, cf. (Carlson:1991) on the first edition). From this vantage point, I see three main points that diminish the value and the usefulness of this book. They are, in turn, its coherence, its excessive content at certain points, and the layout.

    Coherence The modular setup of the book is already commented upon by the authors. Given that, I will not say much about the order of chapters relative to each other. The only obvious outlier seems to be the choice to put the chapter on generalized quantification last. This seems very much uninspired, especially since its conclusion, which in effect ends the book, seems hardly appropriate to serve as an conclusion to the whole book. However, even within chapters, subsections do often not connect up to each other. Often, all sense of direction is lost. A case in point is the chapter on lambda abstraction. Here, after introducing the lambda operator, the authors try to give evidence for the usefulness of the new operator. In order to do so, they start discussing VP- disjunction and conjunction. After what reads like a conclusion to this topic, they start a new subsection titled 'More on TP'. This is quite startling, as so far TP has played no role in this chapter (It is discussed 150 pages earlier in the chapter on intensionality.). It turns out, however, that the section is again on problems in dealing with conjunction, this time involving tense (The objective still being to show the usefulness of the lambda operator.). With very few changes in organization and wording this would have been much easier to follow. On the whole, one often wishes for a clearer sense of direction, to avoid the many times where one looks up from what is in itself stimulating reading to wonder why this section is placed here.

    Another question of coherence arises when the authors introduce event semantics in order to deal with adverbs (new in this edition). Although it is perhaps useful to show students that there is such a thing as event semantics even at this stage, it should at least be pointed out that this approach would force major changes in everything that has been said before on fragments and interpretation. Without this caveat, the student is left in the dark as far as the integration of this approach with what has been described before is concerned.

    Excessive Material Oftentimes, the textbook suffers from the authors putting too much material between its pages. Outstanding examples are the discussion of presupposition in chapter six and that of the reasons for using supervaluation instead of fuzzy logic in chapter eight. While these are interesting topics (cf. Carlson's remarks), they clearly are far too advanced for a textbook that purports to be a general introduction. The same can be said for the general tendency to point the reader into the direction of dynamic semantics. The discussion is always stimulating, but seems to be misplaced here.

    There is only one place where the discussion falls away from the generally high standards, which is the representation of decomposition and theories using decomposition, again in chapter eight. The authors try to show that meaning postulates should be preferred over decomposition. In order to support their view, they use, besides theoretic arguments such as 'translucent' words, general considerations of semantic competence, language acquisition and even experimental evidence. The representation does not differ from that in the first edition, except that now, at the end of the discussion (p. 454), they point to the fact that all these phenomena are not necessarily inconsistent with decompositional approaches. While this is OK as it stands, one would have liked to see the whole psycholinguistic discussion removed from the pages of this book. It seems to question the whole approach of the book up to that point. In fact, in earlier chapters, the authors explicitly note that they adapt the stance propagated by Stanley Peters, that the theory is about what the mind must compute, not how (p. 192, cf. p. 110). In my view, this is the correct attitude to have. Selectively using psycholinguistic data undermines this approach.

    Layout The layout of the new edition is probably what differs most from the first one. It is most of the times irritating and sometimes downright misleading. Thus, boxes to which the text refers are often placed on the wrong page (cf. p. 125f.), so that reading involves lots of page- turning. Another variant is where the boxes are on the same page, but a paragraph after they are discussed (for no reason, it seems), without any referral to them (cf. p. 138). In turn, the exact opposite happens with the next two boxes (p.139f.) . The highlight as far as box management is concerned is certainly the box on page 419f., which is itself broken on two separate pages (similarly the box on p. 131f.), with the numbered elements on the one page being referred to on the other page. In addition, it seems that the authors are to hesitating in repeating examples sentences, which would often make reading smoother. Very misleading are cases like the one on page 87, where what is positioned like a section heading turns out to be the last line of the exercise on the opposite page. Even in simple tables, like the one on p. 66, readability could be much improved.

    CONCLUSION This is, all in all, a very good textbook. However, it could be even better if it had a clearer organization and reduced the amount of material covered. Then, the view on those parts of the book, where the authors try to show how formal semantics is not an abstract enterprise but makes clear empiric predictions (Highlights are the discussion of gerunds vs. infinitives and that of generalized quantifiers) would become much clearer.

[tech] gmisub2atom

I couldn't find an implementation of what is described in the gmisub
spec, i.e. conversion to an atom feed, and I wanted it for use in
newsboat. So I just implemented it myself.

=> gemini://gemini.thegonz.net/gmisub2atom/

Nothing fancy, just a simpleminded C implementation. For the heavy
lifting of parsing gemini and urls, it uses some code from sircmpwn's
gmni and (like gmni) curl, both of which were quite pleasant to use.

Maybe this has already been done and I just couldn't find it?

C-E gzip (and maybe deflate) have been in the spec since the
beginning.  The recent change was to remove the mandate for C-E
deflate (which might not have been a mandate due to confusing text).

That's not a good idea.  For the aforementioned reason, and for other
reasons including having to re-mint ETags without coordination with
the origin server.
