Launched in April of 2007, Blogging for a Good Book is the newest facet of the Looking for a Good Book readers’ service. A different staff member picks favorite reviews for each different week. Subscribe to our RSS feed to find good reviews, or click on the categories on the righthand side to see everything in your favorite area.
We gently discourage authors from sending us copies of their books, because we cannot promise that our staff will read or review unsolicited materials. We find that the blog’s success depends on the reviewers’ being able to write freely about books of their own choosing.
We welcome comments on our site, though we reserve the right to edit or remove comments that are uncivil or abusive. And while we are always thrilled to hear from authors, we ask that you not use our site to promote your works. Discussing a book that we’ve blogged about is fine; self-promoting books that we haven’t endorsed is not.
Gotta say… I love this blog! I’m sad (and encouraged?) that not too many leave comments (truthfully, I’m a very good lurker). Keep on! You are doing a wonderful job here.
I enjoy the reviews from Blogging for a Good Book, and have emailed a number of them to friends. I look forward to reading them each day. Thank you for this wonderful service!
Thanks for your kind words. We are delighted that you are enjoying the posts and sharing them. It’s the best way to build and support the community of readers. All the best.
Simple, clean design, great variety and excellent organization–I love reading the blog!
I adore this blog! Stumbled across it by fortunate chance, and have been writing down reviews. I think it might have been through Unshelved, the library comic.
Thanks, Dale. We’re glad you enjoy the posts.
I am still new to the library and recently decided to investigate this blog. The combination of on-going professional library staff reviews/input with patron comments is both new and seems like a powerful combination to me. I plan to try it out over the days and weeks ahead. I am quite open to advice & counsel on the best and/or most appropriate way to comment in this blog.
I am not sure if this is the right place or way but I’ll try. My wife called my attention to a new book “The Wise Advisor: What Every Professional Should Know About Consulting and Counseling” by Jeswald W. Salacuse. I see that it has a five star review on Amazon (included website) but only by one person. I was wondering if anyone reading this post has experience with or any impression of either this book or the author.
I like alternate history fiction by authors such as Eric Flint, S.M. Stirling, Harry Turtledove, the team of Newt Gingrich and William R. Forstchen, et.al. Thus, I would like to see reviews and patron comments about such books. I searched for their names but other than mention of them in reviews about books by other authors did not find any reviews about their works. Is there sufficient interest in this fiction niche to justify such reviews and a category for it?
Is there a way to comment on a category? It seems to me that such an ability would provide patrons with a more focused way to provide input on authors of interest and might generate broader patron discussion.
As far as I see, patrons can only comment in About and on individual reviewed books. If I am missing something, I would appreciate someone advising me on how to use this blog in a more effective way.
I stumbled on this site by accident while looking for a good book recommendations blog- this is exactly what I was looking for! This site has really interesting reviews and is extremely well-organized- I love the tag system. Thank you!
Saraswathi, thanks for the kind words. We are glad that you find the posts here interesting and useful. Happy reading.
The setting is a small South Carolina mill town during 1944, showing a boy and old loom fixer working at odd jobs.
I have written for The State and Anderson Independent Mail news papers, Living in South Carolina, the magazine for electric cooperatives, Small Farmer’s Journal and HCI Books. My fiction has appeared in The First Line and Blue Cubicle Press. I writes full time and is a member of the South Carolina Writers Workshop, attending their critique groups and workshops. The Sandhills Writers Conference in Augusta, Georgia I also enjoy.
Thanks for visiting the site. You may send us your book, but I don’t want to mislead you. It is unlikely that we would review it. The traditional review journal model assigns titles to reviewers, but BFGB has a different purpose than Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, etc. We deliberately do not assign specific titles to our reviewers, instead letting them choose whatever materials they like, regardless of publication date, author, popularity, etc.

Love this website! Thanks for all the great reviews.
love the blog, but I’d like to subscribe via email instead of RSS feed. Will checking the box below do that?
Can you add it to your blog?
Thanks for the great suggestion! You’ll see our new email-subscription link on the right-hand side, near the top.
I look forward to seeing you there and chatting about how our book groups function, sharing ideas, and having fun!
Hi, Tory. I am glad that you like the blog. I hope that your Book Group blog will attract readers from our local book clubs. It could be a useful resource for book groups in the area.
Hi, I am Michael Cow. I am really appreciate toward your awesome blog. You gives me so great value by reviewing so many books. Good luck for you!
Nice Blog… I always look for new books and truly speaking, I haven’t read any book which are reviewed on your blog since Jan 2012.
I only have limited time to read books, but thank you for the reviews. It just cuts the time I spend looking for good reads.
I just discovered your site and am really enjoying it!
Love your blog! I am a bookworm and love readings. As a visitor to local library, I highly recommend this website, which helps users borrow good books from library.
I am not sure how you include books on your blog, but if it is possible, will you please make mine available somewhere?
I nominated you for the Liebester Award! If you didn’t get a notification I provided the link below. I wanted to nominate you because I do enjoy your reflections and you actually inspired me to add “read a good book” on my bucket list to comeplete before I’m 25 (I have little over a year to go). This might not seem like a big accomplishment, but it is for me. I literally only remember reading maybe 3 books in my entire life. I’ve despised reading for so long and did not find enjoyment in it. You inspired to enjoyment in reading in me again.
What a brilliant idea, a group of librarians (all, I assume, passionate readers) clubbing together in this way – buy one, get a bundle of others free!
I nominated you for the Shine Award as I really love your blog. See my blog post Shine Award for details of the award and how to continue!
I have been following your blog for some time and I really enjoyed reading it.
Dana, Thanks for the offer, but one of the things that we like about BFGB is that it represents the voice of the library. So we will stick to staff writing posts.
I have never heard of this library before. But I like this blog. Wherever you are, keep up the great work.
Thanks We are in southeastern Virginia in the U.S. Glad you enjoy the posts!
I know authors are discouraged from asking for reviews, but I’d like you to consider reading my first novel, Catch Rider, which is set in the Virginia horse world. I won’t be offended if you don’t like it! I couldn’t find contact info, so I’m leaving the message here.
Please let me know if I can get you a copy or a PDF.
I am happy to have found your site I love to read and write. I love fantasy, romance and paranormal but I am beginning to explore New Age and Spirituality a little more but what my main focus is to discover other genres that I am not so comfortable with so I can expand my knowledge and vocabulary.Any suggestions I am grateful for. My gratitude is yours, Allie.
So thankful to have found this blog! I have been in a stale run of books to read, although I have a feeling that may have come to an end!
All of us over here love your blog!
Interesting concept, not a lot of libraries do book reviews….at least not the local ones around here. Great blog!
I love coming to your blog and reading the posts! I lived in Williamsburg in the 1970’s, and one of my favorite places to hang out was at the library. It was such a warm and inviting place, and I’m so thrilled to find your blog with the same atmosphere. Thank you for maintaining such a wonderful place to sit and relax.
Thanks for your very kind words about WRL and Blogging for a Good Book!
What a great way for a regional library to step-out of the local scene and enter the world stage! I appreciate and love reading your reviews.
Can I recommend a dark comedy novel called FOXAVIER AND PLINKA for your archive. It is a poignant and funny look at diet obsession, food commercials and ethics.
I just stumbled on your blog and it looks great with lots of excellent suggestions. Looking through the many categories it does surprise that I do not see Gay or LGBT as one. Lots of great works out there in that genre. Since I am currently writing a novel whose protagonist is in his late teens and gay, I’ve had the good fortune to discover quite a number of them and have been writing reviews on my blog after I finish them.
Hi, I just found this blog and I think it’s great! I noticed that you have several books on your list that I intend to review for my blog this year. It will be interesting to compare notes and experiences with you all. Best wishes!
I’m a big fan of your blog! I love how you break down interesting reads like clever dialogue as something featured. In reading a few of your posts of late, I feel like I’m having a conversation with the writers. Very cool. I’m stumbled over here after just finishing a book review on my blog and looking for my next great book. I’m going to hit up your archives!
I love your book recommendations and reviews! I’m a big fan of yours! Would you mind reading my review on The Small Bachelor by PG Wodehouse in my “Dhawal Writes…” blog?
Gotta say that I love the people interested in reading and writing. This is just an amazing place to find your way through books!
The most brilliant blog since… ah! forget it. Just brilliant!
I’m thrilled I was suggested this blog. Loving the reviews and effort put into this.
What makes you read and share your experience with reading certain books with others?
but it is a bit pedantic,long….etc.” Sometimes a “good” book is all a matter of preferences.
I worked in the library when I was in high school and worked long and hard putting together lists of books for a variety of needs. If a student had a book report due for any given class and needed help finding one that wouldn’t be too hard, I had a list for that. I also frequented used bookstores and donated hundreds of great books to the library. Before I arrived, it was largely just full of academic and reference books, but since it was a private boarding school, there was a steady stream of students coming in asking for help finding a good book to read purely for entertainment. So I made it my mission to go through every single shelf in the library in search of good reads and compile multiple lists for every conceivable area of interest. I’m still in contact with the librarian and she assures me that ‘Bethany’s Lists’ are still kept by the front desk and are heavily used by each new wave of students.
I enjoyed coming across your dark humor blog on the web.
I was wondering if you would be interested in a free copy of my new book “26 Absurdities of Tragic Proportions” (5 star rated on Amazon) in exchange for a review?
These 26 tales are inspired by Edward Gorey’s illustrations in the Gashlycrumb Tinies and will make you…well… something.
If you would like a copy, just reply to this email with a yes, or submit the form on the press/reviews page of the website to denote how you would like your copy delivered.

For the second consecutive year, land-based casinos in France see red! The 197 casino establishments located throughout France have experienced a significant decline in income according to a survey revealed by AFP. Indeed, the benefit accruing to casinotiers, would suffer an overall decline of 9% for the 2008/2009 financial year, reaching 2.3 billion d ‘€ uros. A cumulative decline of 20% over the last two years. Note that the profits generated from 2006 to 2007 were 2.8 billion, then 2.5 billion in fiscal year 2007/2008, and now reaches more than 2.3 billion euros net. Three factors explain this bad trend. The first is the prohibition on smoking since 1 January 2008, in establishments considered public places, although the vast majority completely private.
The second is for the ban: Internet games. Indeed casino players can no longer enjoy their freedom in institutions hard, go on the web to continue to enjoy their passion and their leisure by playing slot machines, video poker, blackjack and other games of any kind . Players can enjoy the games more and more mature, and jackpots available on the web that have nothing to envy in real games, while continuing to enjoy their cigarettes.
Finally the third explanation is cyclical, as the United States since the crisis broke in the meantime, crippling the purchasing power of households, so they can capitalize. This is actually a factor that should gradually faded as the heads will regain confidence.
However we must clarify one point which can not be accepted. That of unfair competition by operators of gambling online like Partouche Group Barrier Group and Cutting. In fact they arise as a victim even actively involved in Internet activity, with one or more brands online casino, poker site. … And has been for many years. The unofficial position is actually much less bad as has been claimed!
Profits generated by operators of gambling being imposed only up to a maximum of 5% instead of 85% for land-based casinos, we fully understand their silence on the second activity under land. Finally, this decrease in revenue is expected to stabilize in the coming with the prospect of opening the French market, although it is primarily reserved for athletes Paris, Paris Horseracing and Online Poker.
Thus without regulation on online casinos, the latter including groups Partouche, Barrier and Tranchant, will therefore continue to offer their services freely and develop their non-taxable benefit in France. Vivement 2010!

Here at Laughing Goat Fiber, we pride ourselves on a being a place where anyone and everyone can learn about animal husbandry and local agriculture. We also believe firmly in hands-on experience. As a small, family-owned farm located about 10 minutes away from Cornell University, we have been privileged to receive the excellent care and advice of world-renowned veterinarians and, in return, provide practical experience for talented vet students. We have even donated deceased animals to the school for necropsy practice and study.
Because of our close relationship with the Cornell Veterinary School, we have welcomed to the farm numerous students and community members as volunteers and apprentices. We are proud that, for the last several years, we have hosted a formal summer internship program for college students. Although internships are unpaid, we provide room and board and immersive practical experience. Currently, we are able to offer course credit to University of Vermont students, but non-UVM students may be able to qualify for course credit through their own schools.
We are able to structure internship hours and lengths to suit the needs of the individual, and the academic calendar.
This is a wonderful opportunity for students or individuals who are excited to learn about the challenges and rewards of small farming and animal husbandry and care. Suzy and Matt, former apprentices at the farm, graduated from Cornell’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and moved on to become managers of the incredible Cricket Creek Farm.
Still not convinced? Check out some of the blog posts written by our interns and read about their experiences on the farm.
We hope you’ll reach out to us if this sounds exciting to you, and even if you’re not sure it does – yet. We want to help you fall in love with farming!
Not up for a formal internship, but want to get your hands dirty on the farm anyway? We love volunteers! Some of our biggest challenges have been tackled by wonderful, willing folks just like yourselves. We can always use the help, and have needs to fit every interest. Give us a shout!

There are lots of established ways to get your influencer programmes up and running. But what works today doesn’t look like it’s going to work tomorrow. Why? Because consumer sentiment is changing as the blurred lines of the influencer world begin to cause wariness.
At the end of 2018, BBC Radio 4 conducted research into public views of social media influencers within the UK. They found more than 80% of respondents didn’t find it clear when an influencer was being paid to talk about a product.
It’s clear, therefore, that many people are struggling to trust influencers and whether their opinions are independent expertise or just a paid plug.
So it could be argued that the honeymoon period for influencer marketing is over. But that doesn’t mean that it’s dead as a tactic – far from it.
Indeed, influencer spending by enterprises is expected to continue rising year-on-year, potentially reaching as much as US$10billion a year worldwide as soon as 2020.
So what does this mean for you as an enterprise? Well, in short, you’ll need to put some careful thought and some shrewd refinement into your strategies. “How do we do that?”, I hear you shout!
Well, there are four key things to consider.
Some of these you may be successfully implementing already. However whether you are or not, all four are important in an influencer world that will start to look very different in the months and years ahead.
Nobody said that working with influencers meant the YouTube superstars or Instagram gods with devoted audiences in the millions. Besides, even if you could afford to work with them, the chances are that their audience is going to be far too general for your needs.
Instead, look towards the micro-influencers (often also referred to as nano-influencers), who have audiences in the thousands. As well as being cheaper to work with, their audiences are likely to be more specific and more relevant to your goals.
As a result, you can maximise the value you’re getting from your influencer spend.
There’s an additional knock-on benefit, too, as there are influencers out there that have built up huge numbers of fake followers to make themselves look more influential than they actually are.
While the big social platforms worked hard to eliminate as many fake accounts as possible in 2018, it’d be foolish to think that the problem has completely gone away.
Pursuing opportunities with micro-influencers, however, reduces the potential amount of money you could be wasting on phoneys.
You wouldn’t conduct a marketing campaign without deploying key metrics and analytics to quantify how successful they are (well, we hope you wouldn’t!).
Why should your influencer efforts be any different?
Whereas the early days of influencer marketing would have just looked at reach, there’s now a much greater emphasis on going deeper into who engages with an influencer and how.
There are plenty of tactics and strategies you can adopt. For example, you could measure which influencers resonate best with your audiences, which customers go on to convert and why, and the messaging within influencer comms that makes the biggest difference.
How you integrate an influencer programme into a wider marketing campaign is crucially important.
If you leave influencer work standing outside your existing customer journeys and strategies, they may well overlap and interfere with the rest of your carefully laid-out plans.
And if they stand out as being completely out of step with everything else, then they may end up being considered by the consumer as an afterthought.
This is because consumers are likely to trust the influencer content a little more if it is part of several other assets or communications they touch along their customer journey.
In an era where influencer marketing is in the public eye, that trust has never been more important. So any time you consider new influencer programmes, consider how you can tie other things into it.
I mentioned the importance of trust in the previous point, and there are some critical things to remember. In particular, we live in an age of empowered consumers that can shop around at the touch of a screen.
So while it can take weeks, months or even years to build up trust, it can be irreparably broken in a second.
So how does this thinking apply to the influencer world? Well, consumers aren’t stupid. They will very quickly see through a simplistic, clumsy attempt to sell a particular product through an influencer.
Influencers will see through it, too: you’re not going to build a very strong rapport with an influencer if you basically only get in touch with them when you need to sell something and ignore them the rest of the time.
It takes time to develop that strong, trustworthy relationship with an influencer, but by doing so, over the course of time their audience will become part of that circle of trust, too.
It’s there that you’ll start to really feel the benefit of your influencer programme.
Cut out the bad influence and reap the rewards of a strategy that’s right for your marketing. Creation Agency has the experience and the expertise to target the right influencers in the right places at the right times. Take a moment to find out more on what we do and how we do it.

When we bought the girls’ backpacks, we purchased a magic version. With every 10 months of school they shrink. Here is the proof of how it works.
May 2015 – See the girls are not hiding as well behind each backpack because they shrank. Washing, rain, and dirt have no effect and can not stop the process.
If you are interested in buying your own version of this backpack, just let us know and we can point you in the right direction.
The end of school is finally here … is it really here? The girls have had a great year and will actually miss school over the summer. They love interacting with their classmates most, but they do love to learn.
Emily has loved her teacher. Ms Racey has things organized in her class with cute and clever labels. This fits well with Emily’s personality. While she wants order, she allows Emily to express her opinions and is patient to listen to Emily’s stories. Emily always has something to say in class. The class reads a book together after lunch. When Emily figured out we had a copy of one of the books at home, she had to read ahead.
Several students and friends in her class have moved away during the year and this has been a sad thing. Change is a hard thing. Emily has continued to be my rule follower. The fact that not everyone follows the rules still bothers her. If she could police it and change the world (or at least her class) she would.
Julia has enjoyed her teacher and class. She is also a rule follower in class. During the first few months of school, all she would talk about after school was who got in trouble in class. She was a world class people watcher. Figuring it all out was important to her. It was so important that she had trouble staying focused on her tasks, although this improved throughout the year. She made several friends in her class. Mama wishes she could be a fly on the wall in the class sometime to see how Julia interacts in class. When she is in the hall she is quiet and always in line.
Ms Brinkman sends home lots of crafts that they have done in class. Julia loves to put lots of detail into her work. As the year has gone on we have seen Julia start to get the idea of reading. It has been fun to watch. She will continue to read with Grammy to speed up her reading and retention. She had spent most of the year behind in her reading, but as school finishes up she is reading at grade level.
We could not be more proud of the citizens that the girls are in their classes. We are pleased with their love of learning. Humbled by Emily’s passion for reading. Joyful at Julia’s new experiences. Thankful for the friendship and mentoring that occurred this year. Pleased that Mama got to spend so much time in Emily’s class and got to know the kids. And grateful that we are on this journey with the girls!
Now, lets have some fun and play for the whole summer!
This year we celebrated the end of school with a party for both of the girls’ classes and friends. We met at the park and played with friends and classmates who joined us. There were toys available to play with and fruit and cookies snacks. The weather was sunny and clear and we enjoyed our afternoon of play! It was so much fun we will try to do this every year.
My blue eyed almost 3rd grader.
Blue shirts were the color of the day. You would think the girls had phone calls to arrange it, but they are so good they didn’t need to.
These two both have mischievous streaks, bet you could not guess.
A swing that is big enough for two.

Just minutes south of Otsego county’s Scenic Route 20 Byway, is a park of exceptional history. Overlooking the beautiful Otsego Lake, the Glimmerglass State Park has a special connection to James Fenimore Cooper’s Leatherstocking Tales.
Alongside an expansive beach, hiking trails, and a quaint campground are several National Historic Landmarks. The Hyde Hall covered bridge is said to be the oldest in America – circa 1834. Not far up the road is the stunning estate of George Clarke, a neoclassic country mansion called Hyde Hall.
Just behind the stone estate, Mutti came pace on a brisk 2.5 mile hike to the summit of Mount Wellington on a trail called Sleeping Lion. For a gorgeous autumn day, surprisingly, we were the only two hikers striding over a cushy bed of soft brown needles shaken loose by surrounding majestic white pines. We finished back at Hyde Hall relishing slices of local apple and goat cheese at a picnic table overlooking Otsego Lake.

Here at the Poetry Archive we believe that poetry should be celebrated every day. We recommend a daily diet of poetry for the heart and soul and hope that our visitors will make regular use of our vast archive of poets reading their own work.
Poetry By Heart is a pioneering national competition designed to encourage young people aged 14-18 at school and college in England to learn and to recite poems by heart.
Poetry was an oral art form before it became textual. Homer's work lived through the spoken word long before any markings were made on a page. Hearing a poet reading his or her work remains uniquely illuminating. It helps us to understand the work as well as helping us to enjoy it.
This guide by Pauline Christie is an excellent aide for anyone reading Caribbean poetry who wants a little extra insight to the language. Christie clearly explains the grammar and vocabulary of Caribbean Creole with examples from a range of poems.
For students to explore through images a key Victorian idea about war (dulce et decorum est pro patria mori); to develop an awareness of historical context by reading a Crimean War ballad and a first hand news report; to read Tennyson's poem and compare it with images and texts encountered; and to explore the legacy of Tennyson’s poem and the validity of its enduring appeal.
For students to: imaginatively explore their own special places and those of two poets from different times and places: W.B. Yeats (Ireland) and James Berry (Jamaica); to experience creative reading and creative writing; to develop a comparative analysis of the two poems.
To read a range of poems and select six to prepare brief introductions to; to write a well structured Guided Tour of the Poetry Archive; to use talk to develop drafting processes; to share their enjoyment of particular poems with a real audience.
Whether you have heard poets read live or on the radio, or whether you've never heard a poet read, these tips are meant as a starting point to help you find your own way to enjoy what the Archive has to offer.
The Poetry Archive is primarily about listening, and classroom activities around poetry need not always involve students doing their own writing - there are plenty of other ways of responding to a poem.
When concentration levels are low and your class is restless, something visual - whether it's a photograph, a sketch, a diagram on the whiteboard - can help support learning.
To explore how poets envisage the relationship between humans and the natural world. To create visualisations of the poems (through PowerPoint, collage or other artwork) as a way of expressing these relationships. To encourage group work. To understand some aspects of the radical pastoral.
To explore how a poet uses language to observe and comments on ordinary lives. To understand the cultural and historical contexts in which the poem was written.
For students to: explore the poem through their own creative writing experience poetry aurally in the high-octane form of Plath's original recording and student performance of their own Plath-ish poems understand how words and images work in patterns to create mood.
To explore the way in which poetry can capture the mood of a moment in time. To develop an understanding of historical context in literary study.
All pupils will... attend to parts of the poem and be encouraged to make a visual response. Some pupils will... recognise key ideas in the text. A few pupils will... relate the key ideas in the text to similar experiences of their own.
For students to: develop an understanding of some key concepts about poetry, specifically the persona and narrative poetry; experience poetry aurally in the high-octane form of Eliot's original recording; explore many interpretations of the poem's meaning and form through playful, creative and collaborative activity with others.
For students to: explore the spoken dimension of poetry: specifically the multiple voices of this poem and how they might be conveyed in recital or reading experience poetry aurally in the high-octane form of Auden's original recording, and by listening to alternative readings by other people develop an understanding of the purpose of deploying competing voices in a poem.
All pupils will show an awareness of different uses and meanings of words.
For students to: investigate the power of the title using corpus tools experience poetry aurally in the high-octane form of Hughes's original recording explore how the strength and power of the poem’s voice are constructed compare this with other texts.
To encourage students' enjoyment of listening to poetry. To encourage students' pleasure in writing poetry. To extend and develop students' appreciation of poetry. To develop students' abilities to understand a poetic response to the world they inhabit, both from the point of view of a poet and from their own experience.
All pupils will attend and respond to the sound, rhythm and mood of the text.
All pupils will... have listened to and made a response to part of the poem. Some pupils will... use vocal intonation to enhance meaning. A few pupils will... recognise some of the rhyming words and find some new rhyming words.
Year 7 Key Stage Three English Framework R3: compare and contrast the ways information is presented in different forms R19: explore how form contributes to meaning in poems from different times and cultures eg storytelling in ballads S10: identify and report the main points emerging from discussion S13: work together logically and methodically to solve problems, make deductions, share, test and evaluate ideas.

To encourage the pleasure of reading poetry; to encourage the pleasure of listening to poetry; to enable pupils to understand how emotional responses may be poetically expressed; to develop pupils' ability to use technical language in their discussion of poetry.
By the end of the lesson the pupils will have: explored the conventions of the ghostly stereotype as portrayed in written and visual forms; listened closely to the opening of the poem and developed an understanding of the situation U.A. Fanthorpe has created; collaborated with other members of their small group to discuss their interpretations and ideas; organised and presented their proposal to the rest of the class both in writing and orally.
By the end of the lesson pupils will have explored the ways in which Edwin Morgan creates the viewpoint of the hyena through his use of language and structure; identified the underlying themes through listening and discussion; drawn on their developing understanding of Morgan's poetic techniques to inform their own drafting.

Photo: Stop on your way to or from Samet.
Beaches extend for 25 kilometres to the east of Ban Phe, interrupted only by the occasional cape or cluster of rocks. While Haad Suan Son and Laem Mae Phim don’t stack up to Ko Samet’s beaches from an aesthetic standpoint, the seafood is fresh and the working-class Thai holiday atmosphere can be a lot of fun. A day trip or overnight stay rewards travellers who are tired of the big-name beach destinations.
See how the locals like to let loose.
Setting out on a motorbike from Ban Phe, we hummed east along the coastal road to the four-kilometre-long Haad Suan Son. Named after a large protected pine forest, the shady tan-sand beach stretches for nearly five kilometres and hosts a colourful seafood market in the early evenings. You also get a good view of Ko Samet, with Nadan Pier easily distinguishable. One of the the best parts is a scenic stretch of road studded with towering ironwood, umbrella and son trees.
There’s a refreshingly small amount of concrete at Suan Son.
Located a mere two kilometres east of Ban Phe’s Nuan Thip Pier, Suan Son Beach is a good option if you could use a quick dip before catching a bus. Street chefs will deliver grilled fish and squid, among other goodies, to beach chairs set up beneath the trees, and a handful of small Thai-style resorts offer rooms if you feel like sticking around. You could also pay 30 baht to pitch a tent at the arboretum that backs the beach.
After a quick stop at the Chinese shrine that overlooks Suan Son from the eastern headland, we cut briefly inland before hanging a right (east) to return to the coast along Route 3145. The road passes close to several smaller beaches like Haad Sai Thong, Ao Sai Yai and Haad Sai Kaeo. Here you’ll find large properties owned by the likes of Novotel and Marriott along with family-run spots with names like Bee Happy Beach and Dave’s Mountain. We also passed several expat-owned condominiums.
The grilled squid alone is worth the trip.
The smooth road swoops down to the western end of Haad Laem Mae Phim. Backed by trees and pavilions, the six-kilometre-long beach offers loads of empty space, even when the many Thai visitors descend on weekends and holidays. As with all of Rayong’s coastal beaches, quite a bit of tidal garbage can become visible. This isn’t the place to snap postcard-worthy shots of a tropical beach paradise, but we enjoyed a local-style holiday atmosphere that’s missing from Ko Samet.
Spending a night or two in Laem Mae Phim isn’t a bad idea.
Laem Mae Phim is also a bustling beach town with several places to stay and a long lineup of seafood restaurants stacked along the eastern end. We stopped for a delicious spread of grilled squid and yum talay (spicy seafood salad) at a seaside eatery called Krua Mo-lay.
Our last stop of the day was Laem Ta, a small cape that ends at a fishing village just beyond the east end of Laem Mae Phim beach. From here you can arrange boat trips to visit the turtle conservation centre on nearby Ko Mun Nai and snorkel off the other two islands of the Ko Mun group; local operator Toy Tours (T: 081 945 1928 ; 081 451 4862) offers group excursions starting at 590 baht. This is also where you’ll find the private pier for Ko Mun Nork‘s exclusive resort.
Who wants an inflatable alien?
If you have more time to spare, you could head inland from the east end of Laem Mae Phim to visit the Sunthorn Phu Monument in Klaeng before going 10 kilometres further to explore Prasae’s 2,400-acre mangrove forest. If you don’t get your fill of beaches here, head west out of Ban Phe to Khao Laem Ya and Haad Mae Ramphueng.
Haad Suan Son and Laem Mae Phim make for a relatively easy ride from Ban Phe if you don’t mind travelling by rented motorbike. Alternately, songthaews depart Ban Phe every half-hour from a stand located between Municipal Pier and Nuan Thip Pier on Liap Chai Fang Rd from 06:45 to 18:15, stopping at Haad Suan Son along the way to Laem Mae Phim.

The probes will extract samples from the asteroids before returning to Earth. These separate space missions will help to determine the composition the asteroids and test technology for retrieving their potential riches.
The NASA mission, OSIRIS-REx, will arrive at an asteroid called Bennu, orbiting the sun about 460 million miles away, in August. The probe will make a remote sensing campaign of Bennu, thought to be comprised of clays, volatiles, and some organic material.
At one point OSIRIS-REx will come into contact with Bennu and collect loose particles that are thought to cover its surface. The probe will blast out of orbit around the asteroid in March 2021 and is scheduled to arrive back on Earth with its sample in September 2023.
In the meantime, the Japanese Hayabusa2 will arrive at an asteroid called Ryugu, a rare type of asteroid that contains both volatile material and water-bearing materials in June 2018. The Japanese probe will also examine Ryugu remotely and collect a sample before departing in December 2019. Hayabusa2 will arrive back on Earth in December 2020.
Both the OSIRIS-REx and Hayabusa2 missions are scientific missions to gather data that will give further insight into the origin and development of the solar system. However, the two voyages of discovery have economic implications as well.
According to Asterank, a database that charts the scientific and economic characteristics of 600,000 asteroids, Bennu contains almost $670 billion worth of minerals and Ryugu has almost $83 billion. All that is necessary is to get at the material, extract it, and find markets for it.
Asteroid mining has been considered the stuff of science fiction. That point of view changed radically when Goldman Sachs, an organization not known for its fanciful analysis, declared that mining asteroids will be a growth industry in the 21st century.
Even before the Goldman Sachs report, two companies, Planetary Resources and Deep Space Industries, were formed for the expressed purpose of mining asteroids for profit. Planetary Resources recently took another step toward the dawn of asteroid mining by launching the Arkyd-6 CubeSat, a tiny satellite that will test technologies to find asteroids and determine their worth for mining.
The first salable commodity that could be mined from asteroids will be water. Water can be used to sustain future space colonies. However, more immediately, water can be refined into hydrogen and oxygen, components of rocket fuel.
Rocket fuel can be stored in depots where spacecraft could then top off before proceeding on to destinations in deep space, eliminating the need for taking all the fuel needed for such voyages from Earth. Servicing spacecraft could carry rocket fuel to satellites orbiting the Earth to refuel them, lengthening their lifespans, a capability that will have an immediate effect on the world economy.
Other minerals available at some asteroids include platinum-group metals, a vital component for a wide variety of high-tech products. Industrial-grade metals such as iron, aluminum, and silicon could be used to build large structures in space.
The material would be fed into 3D printers to create components which would then be put together by robotic assemblers. The structures that could be built in space include high-capacity communications satellites with vast antenna arrays and space-based solar collectors that can tap the sun’s energy and beam it back to Earth 24/7.
Just as the current push to return to the moon has a heavy economic imperative, asteroid exploration should be aligned with its commercial possibilities as much as its scientific benefit. NASA should form partnerships with the new asteroid mining companies for mutual benefit.
It should be noted that China has ambitions of exploring asteroids and exploiting their wealth for economic benefit. The Chinese plan to start sending missions to asteroids as early as 2020.
Farther in the future, according to the South China Morning Post, China intends to conduct missions similar to the Asteroid Redirect Mission, proposed during the Obama administration but then abandoned. The idea is to capture asteroids, insert then into orbit around the moon, and then mine them at leisure. At stake is wealth in the sky that is valued in the trillions of dollars and which could help serve as the basis of an industrial revolution in space.

HARARE – Senior officials from the ruling Zanu-PF party have reportedly indicated that President Robert Mugabe might be forced to quit before his current tenure ends in 2018 due to “explosive succession and economic problems”.
This comes as Mugabe, 91, continues to make blunders which the opposition says is a sign the veteran leader is “too old” to continue leading Zimbabwe.
According to the privately owned The Standard newspaper, the past 10 months have been especially telling for Mugabe, who among other things, revealed that his wife has literally “captured me at home”, declared his rival Morgan Tsvangirai the legitimate winner of the 2008 poll, famously fell down a flight of steps in Harare, and read a wrong speech at the opening of parliament last week.
The report says that although Mugabe is visibly frail, those close to him claim he is as fit as a fiddle and that he only suffers from an eye cataract. They also claim he will be fit to contest the 2018 elections when he will be 94.
But top Zanu-PF insiders indicate the nonagenarian might quit soon, according to the Zimbabwe Independent newspaper.
“We have been told that [Mugabe] is leaving after his SADC and AU mandates. Since he completed his SADC tenure last month and is finishing the AU one in January, our understanding is that he will leave anytime after that,” a senior official close to Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa was quoted as saying.
Mnangagwa is widely tipped to be Mugabe’s successor, with the report saying he has over the past months been seen increasingly overseeing the day-to-day running of government.
Another official quoted by the newspaper said it would not be surprising if Mugabe were to go before 2018 following his “monumental political blunder” of reading the wrong speech in parliament.
But Mugabe’s spokesperson, George Charamba denied the speculation, saying Mugabe would be available for the 2018 elections.
The post Robert Mugabe might quit before end of tenure – Zanu-PF officials appeared first on The Zimbabwe Mail.

I hope this post finds you doing well. A few months ago, I installed a new battery in my android. (I have the last of the do-it-yourself battery replacement phone.) I noticed a new app on my phone that I did install. I’m thinking it piggy backed off of an app that I wanted to install. Just like on a PC, sometimes when installing an app other apps install without your knowledge. It was some type of screen saver, which I definitely did not want. What I started to notice was that my battery life wasn’t lasting. In an hour or side, I was seeing red in my charge monitor app. I immediately went searching for it in my installed apps on my phone and uninstalled it. In monitoring my battery life, I noticed that my charge was lasting a whole lot longer.
Just like on a computer, apps installed on your phone can be a battery drainer. A good practice is to check the apps that are always running in the background and determine whether you need the app and remove it. I found this website that gives you step by step with pictures that will walk you through removing apps from your Apple or android. It uses Messenger as an example ; the process is the same for any app.
Remember, every app running on your phone takes up resources and depletes your battery of energy. Take the time to learn your phone. Every app installed and configuration options can be found in the settings of the phone. For Step by Step, you find hundreds of resources to support you or contact me for one on one support.

Voted as one of BRW’s fastest growing franchises in 2013, Plus Fitness 24/7 has taken Australia by storm and are about to launch their first club in New Zealand.
John Fuller and Nigel Miller both owned successful gyms in Sydney when they went into partnership in 2009. However, it wasn’t until the Global Financial crisis struck that saw the birth of 24/7 franchise business model.
The first of the 24/7 concept fitness centres launched in March 2011 and there are now over 168 clubs Australia-wide.
Franchisors John Fuller and Nigel Miller put their impressive growth down to the passion, hard work and commitment of their Franchisees and Head Office team.
While the 24/7 Plus Fitness franchise model aims to satisfy customer needs, it also satisfies the needs of its franchisees with its low staff model leading to fast break-evens and potential for further investment and growth either inside or outside the Plus Fitness brand.
In addition to their earned spot on the BRW’s Fastest growing franchise list Plus Fitness was also named ‘Emerging Franchisor of the Year’ – 2013, ranked 27th in BRW Fast Starters – 2013, as well as taking out the Smart Company Top Franchise award for both 2013 and 2014.
With a new Plus Fitness centre opening every 10 days, reciprocal rights access to all Plus Fitness 24/7 gyms proves very popular with the Plus Fitness members. Along with memberships costing a low $13 per week with no lock in contracts, no access card fees and no hidden administration fees, it’s easy to understand why Plus Fitness also continues to experience impressive and sustained membership growth across its network of gyms.

Guilt is complex business. Think of its elements: should have, must have, couldn’t, if only, I wish, shut my big mouth, couldn’t help it, couldn’t resist, and more.
And where does it fester? In the heart? Yet doesn’t it also reside in the mind? And doesn’t it also induce stomach cramps and loosens the bowels? Further, it profoundly affects sleep, with a nasty consequence of obesity (the 3.00 a.m shpatzir around the house inevitably ends up at the fridge). Yep, pretty complex.
It also contributes significantly to the economy. Consider all the comfy sitting chairs that psychiatrists world-wide purchase for clients who need to express their guilt feelings to perfect (albeit lettered) strangers. And let us not forget the hefty fees that accompany that psychological salve. Then there is the government component of generous contribution to ease the heavy burden guilt bearers bare and bear. The pharmaceutical industry also earns its pound of flesh by producing dullness-inducing potions that are calculated to neutralize symptoms while leaving the cause pristinely untouched. By the way – it also makes huge profits.
Guilt has also been shown to be a genetic ailment. As Erma Bombeck has astutely noted: “Guilt is like mothers. Everyone in the world has at least one. And it’s passed down like a torch to the next generation.” (Anyone who writes titles like: The Grass Is Always Greener over the Septic Tank, and If Life Is a Bowl of Cherries, What Am I Doing in the Pits?, surely experiences guilt first hand!). In other words, guilt is enshrined in our genes. Jewish people in particular have a long history of predilection towards guilt, especially Jewish mothers – usually in relation to the spoonfuls of cholent and kishke that were rudely rebuffed by deprived six month olds.
The old English word is ‘gylt’ (they couldn’t spell!) was the etymological precursor to ‘guilt’. It is thought that it was originally an acronym for Get Your Life Together because guilt has a way of disrupting the elements of life. It breaks the bond of relationships as readily as it breaks the links to sanity and wellness.
The cure for guilt? – a concept known in spiritual Judaism as Teshuva. This Hebrew word literally means to return to sanity from Self Inflicted Nonsense (SIN). Sin in Hassidic thought is a moment of relative ‘insanity’. The cure to such insanity is a simple process – Teshuva, which has three elements: acknowledgement, resolve, and change. ARC (AAHGG! in old English – as in Asterix.) The wrong is acknowledged; a resolution is made that should the challenge arise again it will be overcome. And when the challenge does arise, it is overcome – change.
However, even if acknowledgment, commitment and change are all present, what happens to the guilt? Here is where the originality of the Alter Rebbe really shines. He explains that when a wrong is committed, a negative spiritual energy is brought into the world. Correcting the error does much more than merely neutralize that energy. It transforms the negative energy into a veritable plus – a positive spiritual addition realizing a rich net worth to the sum total of one’s life.
This Saturday (Shabbat) is Yom Kippur. It provides an amazing opportunity to bring a huge boost to a world that is ailing, and to heal a heart that is wailing – guilt. Why does it heal? Because it repaints all the black angels into glistening white. Guilt is reconfigured – the ugly duckling becomes a graceful swan. No sweat. Any ‘guilt’ now becomes gratuitous – an illusion, a samsara.
Teshuva on Yom Kippur cures a guilt-edged heart.

In AutoCAD would you like to be able to rotate your viewports in paper space without having to rotate your drawing in model space as well. This can save you time and help keep model space free and tidy of having multiple copies of identical drawings at different angles.
This can quite easily be achieved in a few simple steps.
To rotate the viewport, we will be using the commands “VPROTATEASSOC” & “ROTATE”.
The command “VPROTATEASSOC” allows us to control how the model in the viewport behaves when we rotate the viewport. We need to set this first so that when we rotate the viewport, the view inside will also rotate with the viewport.
In the layout tab with the viewport, you want to rotate and enter the command “VPROTATEASSOC” into the command line. It will now ask you to set a value, set the value to “1”.
Now the viewport is ready to be rotated. To rotate your viewport, enter the command “ROTATE” and then click the viewport you want to rotate and hit enter.
Once selected choose a base point from which you want to rotate the viewport around.
You can now either specify the number of degrees you want to rotate the viewport by typing the value in the command bar or use the mouse to manually rotate the viewport. Once you are happy with the outline of where the viewport will be rotated to either click or press enter.
You have now successfully rotated the viewport and the drawing within the viewport.

For the first time in 2018, the Chambersburg Trojans are on a losing streak.
After falling to the Harrisburg Cougars a week ago, Mark Luther's team was unable to get back into the win column, as the Rams routed the Trojans by a final score of 35-14 on Senior Night, doomed by a 28-0 first half where the Rams pounded the ball down the field.
Here are some quick looks at what went wrong and what lies ahead for the team after the loss.
One week after dealing with the elite speed of the Harrisburg Cougars, Chambersburg was faced with a different challenge this week: size.
The Central Dauphin Rams feature some big players in the trenches, and can dominate teams at the point of attack.
The Trojans knew this would be an issue, and wanted to counteract it with activity on the lines, but, at least in a first half that saw the team outscored 28-0, it didn't work.
"They have some very big guys," Luther said. "We knew that if we didn't play hard and beat them with a little bit of movement, they were gonna lock onto us and it was gonna be an issue."
It's hard to practice playing against a large unit of players bigger than your own, Luther acknowledged, but that it was focus, not physicality, that led to CD running back Adam Burkhart running rampant all throughout the first two quarters.
"We just weren't mentally into it in the first half," Luther said.
It wasn't the senior night result many wanted, but it was a night to honor the final year Trojans nonetheless.
Luther expressed his gratitude for the class, as well as a bit of ruing what could have been had some of the players been in the program longer.
The coach pointed out contributions the team has received from seniors who are only just contributing at the varsity level for the first time.
"Four of the seniors, this is their first year playing," Luther said. "I'm proud of them. They worked hard all year.... What's disappointing is that Tanner Hunt, DaQuan Rogers, if they had played the last couple of years, they could have been really outstanding football players. Brady Hughes, look what he's done [as a wide receiver]."
As for other longer tenured seniors, Luther pinpointed center/defensive end Tucker Karn and fullback/linebacker Andrew Shetter as two of the most crucial ones to the team and program.
"Tucker has really stepped it up this year. He's always had the ability, but the maturity has really gotten there, he's really had a different approach this year," Luther said. "And Shetter is someone that loves the game and works really hard. They'll be missed... They've been huge for us this season."
With the loss, Chambersburg now sits at 6-3. Heading into the contest, the Trojans ranked fifth in District 3 6A power rankings, with the top eight teams advancing to the championships.
While a lot of numbers and metrics go into determining that field of eight, one thing is certain: next week's game at Carlisle will be pretty much a necessary win for Luther and his team.
"I don't know where things stands, but I told the team that next-week is a must win," Luther said. "It's just the way I look at it. Because if you drop that one, [losing three straight] is not the way to go in."
The coach also noted that a win in the final game would be crucial for seeding as well, in order to avoid playing a powerhouse in round one.
"Most likely [a loss] would probably put you pretty low near the eighth seed," Luther said. "Then you have to turn around and play Harrisburg. That's pretty darn tough to do."
The Trojans wrap up their regular season traveling to Carlisle. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

Below is my lastest post in HealthSystemCIO.com.
This issue has been troubling me ever since a doctor told me her hospital was implementing it. It is good to know that there are no patents on bad business ideas—that way everybody gets a chance to use them. Sometimes bad ideas come with misnomer labels that suggest they are less evil—Meaningful Use is a good example of a misnomer idea, but that is not the topic of today’s discussion.
During these times I noticed jobs when the technician did not have the time needed to complete the work described on the work order. Rarely did the technician have time to complete any add-on work—work requested by the customer while the tech was at their home.
What really interested me was the answer to my question of ‘why’? It comes down to the following. When the technician leaves the service bay in the morning, the tech has a list of work orders that must be completed by the end of the day. Each work order is worth a fixed number of points, and the technician is evaluated and paid in relation to the number of points earned.
Let’s say the tech is to install a new wall outlet; five points and 30 minutes may be assigned to that work order. The tech arrives at the home only to learn the outlet is to be installed on an interior wall and the cable will have to by threaded through the wall via the attic; a sixty minute job. If the tech stays to complete the work, it will only yield five points and delay his entire schedule by thirty minutes.
Either way, the process fails, and the customer is failed. The tech will return tomorrow at double the cost to the company, but he will now be allocated 60 minutes for the work. There is always time to do the work over, and never time to do it right.
This business process suggests the next customer is always valued more highly than the present customer. This is why when you are being helped by a clerk in a store and the phone rings the clerk will stop servicing you—a paying customer—to service someone who merely wants to chat.
The process? Relative Value Units (RVUs), and it’s another misnomer. An argument can be made to show RVUs have little or no relative value, but entire hospitals run on these, and IT builds systems to assign, track, and report on RVUs. Is there a way for IT to demonstrate or report the impracticality of running a business in this manner?

Published in Print: October 12, 2010, as Who’s Teaching Whom?
Sure, tradition may say that the teacher is the one who does the instructing and the student is the one who learns. But what happens when, on occasion, the tables are turned?
That idea is gaining some currency, thanks in part to organizations like GenYES and the New York-based United Network of Student Leaders that aim to give students a greater role in school technology implementation and instruction.
The logic is simple. Students in today’s schools have grown up in a world of rapidly changing technology, even as many teachers may be struggling to incorporate Web 2.0 tools into the classroom. So, if you’re trying to figure out how to develop an online video project for a particular unit, who better to help you than the YouTube experts sitting right in front of you?
Proponents say that, for teachers, student-led classroom-tech projects can be a cheaper, more job-embedded alternative to formal professional development.
Meanwhile, students' involvement in planning and curriculum development can increase their ownership of the material, strengthen their problem-solving skills, and, with the guidance of the teacher, help them better understand the applicability of their skills to real-world projects.

Yeah, finally I made it! Actually I finally made two things. No.1: I jazzed up our apartment with all things Christmas – tree shines, advent wreath decorates the table and I set up a small holiday vignette to hold some candles and sweets, like gingerbread cookies, nuts and clementines so we always have something to nibble during the holiday season. Not that we might get hungry, but I love having holiday treats around the house. This brings us to No.2; with my holiday vignette I’m finally participating in the cool blogger challenge Urban Jungle, which was started couple months ago by lovely and smart fellow bloggers Igor of Happy Interior Blog, Jocelyn of The Little Room of Style and Judith of Joelix. They love plants of all sizes, colors and shapes. So it was only natural for these guys to start a challenge where they assign a green theme and everyone is welcome to interpret it in their own style. For December the theme was Green Festive Decoration Vignette. The name says it all – add some greenery to your holiday decoration. And that’s what I did.
This year I wanted to stay traditional in colors and details. Lots of green and red with some color splashes of orange and white. Half of my decoration is from the grocery store, natural and inexpensive. The other half are white dishes and a candle from Crate & Barrel – I love their Mercer Collection, white, organic-shaped and a little bit rustic. You can use it with everything.
A small partition between our kitchen and the living area served perfectly for my cozy holiday corner. I just layered greenery on top, added munchies in bowls, two candles and used some apples and pomegranate as decoration. Hanging winter berries, branches and apples gave the whole vignette a twist.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this? Do you like traditional Christmas when it comes to decorating or are you more likely to try out new things?
And if you want to participate in this challenge you can still do it. Just drop a message to Igor or Judith on Twitter and they will be happy to provide you with more information. Now go and check out more festive holiday vignettes.

Also non-disclosure agreement (with the hyphen).
"Trade secrets and other information have become very valuable assets, and many businesses attempt to protect their confidential information by requiring employees, business partners and other third parties to sign nondisclosure and non-competition agreements. The beauty of the nondisclosure agreement lies in the fact that the parties define the information covered and agree on the restrictions on use and disclosure of this information. Similarly, the parties agree on the time, scope and geographical restrictions in a non-competition agreement. If the receiving party breaches its obligations under the confidentiality or non-competition agreement, the disclosing party has a breach of contract claim. Many commentators believe that these types of agreements protect trade secrets far better than the common law of trade secrets."
"Ms X shall not, at any time, directly, indirectly or otherwise, use, communicate, disclose or disseminate any confidential, proprietary or trade secret information of Company Y without first obtaining the written consent of Company Y.

A credit agreement is a type of loan which allows you to spread out the total cost of a new phone or tablet over several months.

Your monthly payment due date will be 3 days after you’ve activated your SIM. If you’re paying by Direct Debit, your first bill collection could be delayed by up to 10 days.
If you already have an active Sky Mobile SIM, your payment due date won’t change and your first monthly phone/tablet payment will be collected on that day too.

Then, you must return your device in its original condition, within 14 days for a full refund of any payments you’ve made.
