Chapter 8 of the POTOver - more fluff, more mystery, and more of Adam's shenanigans.

“So… are you going to tell me about her?”

As anticipated, he was confused by her cryptic wording.  “Who?”

“Charlotte Carney,” she clarified.  “You offered to tell me what happened.  So I’m asking.”

“What, now?  Are you sure?”

“Jonathan, I may never pluck up the courage to ask you again, so I wouldn’t ignore the opportunity if I were you.  I can’t spend the rest of my life not knowing.  So come on – out with it.”

He had to concede that she was right – the chance to finally clear the air around that particular issue was definitely not to be ignored.  His arm around her shoulder gave a gentle squeeze of reassurance.

“Whatever you’re thinking is way off the mark, just so you know.”

“Fine.  Now stop stalling and tell me.”

Taranto e Brindisi: controlli dei Carabinieri NAS nelle due province pugliesi, tre attività chiuse per un valore di oltre 400.000 Euro

Taranto e Brindisi: controlli dei Carabinieri NAS nelle due province pugliesi, tre attività chiuse per un valore di oltre 400.000 Euro. I Carabinieri del NAS di Taranto, nell'ambito di servizi finalizzati ad accertare la regolarità delle condizioni igienico-sanitarie e strutturali degli ambienti di preparazione degli alimenti, nonché la manipolazione e preparazione degli stessi in attuazione delle prescritte procedure di sicurezza, hanno eseguito verifiche presso quattro attività di produzione, commercializzazione e somministrazione di prodotti alimentari, ubicate nelle province di Taranto e Brindisi. Nel corso delle verifiche sono stati sottoposti a sequestro amministrativo oltre due quintali di alimenti vari, tra cui prodotti caseari, carnei, ittici e preparazioni gastronomiche, privi di etichettatura e di qualsiasi indicazione riferita alla rintracciabilità alimentare, oltre che riportanti in etichetta data di scadenza / Termini Minimi di Conservazione scaduti di validità. In un caso, è stata disposta l'immediata sospensione dell'attività di somministrazione, con provvedimento confermato dall'ASL Tarantina, poiché esercitata in un locale privo di registrazione sanitaria ed interessato da gravi carenze igienico-sanitarie e strutturali. In due caseifici i militari hanno accertato l'attivazione abusiva in assenza di fornitura idrica e la mancata registrazione sanitaria, requisiti essenziali previsti dalla normativa comunitaria vigente, per cui l'Asl Brindisina ne ha disposto la chiusura immediata. Per le violazioni correlate alle irregolarità rilevate, sono state contestate sanzioni amministrative pari a 3.000 Euro, mentre il valore complessivo dei prodotti e degli alimenti sequestrati è stimato in circa 8.000 Euro. I titolari delle attività sottoposte a controllo sono stati inoltre segnalati alle competenti Autorità Sanitaria ed Amministrativa.... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

UK Minister Andrew's Vision for Women's Sport

A Landmark Year for Women's Sport

In a recent address at the Westminster Insight conference, the Minister for Sport, Minister Andrew, heralded 2022 as a pivotal year for women's sport in the UK, underscored by the Lionesses' historic victory at the EUROs. This triumph, coupled with their performance at the UEFA World Cup in 2023, has sparked an unprecedented surge in interest and participation in women's football. With the number of registered female football teams doubling over the past seven years, the landscape of women’s sport is transforming, fueling aspirations, and inspiring a new generation of female athletes.   Strategic Moves Towards Sustainability Minister Andrew highlighted the government's commitment to nurturing this burgeoning interest through strategic initiatives. Moreover, the Independent Review of Women’s Football led by Karen Carney, and its subsequent recommendations, have laid the groundwork for a sustainable future in women’s football and beyond. Additionally, the establishment of an implementation group ensures these recommendations transition from paper to practice, aiming to elevate women's sports to global prominence.  

A Holistic Approach to Women's Sports

The ambition extends beyond the football field, with plans to convene a Board of Women’s Sports. Moreover, this move aims to unify leaders across various sports disciplines, fostering a shared vision that promotes inclusivity, opportunity, and growth for all women and girls in sport. Additionally, the Minister underscored the importance of visibility and participation, celebrating the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics as a milestone event with gender parity among athletes   Addressing Challenges and Building Foundations Acknowledging the persistent challenges in achieving equality in sports participation, Minister Andrew pointed to data revealing disparities, particularly among young girls. The government's sport strategy, "Get Active," aims to counteract these trends by encouraging 1.25 million more active women by 2030. Investments in infrastructure, campaigns like "This Girl Can," and educational resources are part of a multifaceted approach to dismantle barriers and foster a culture of inclusivity and empowerment in sports.   Pioneering Funding and Safeguarding Initiatives Significant financial commitments, including the Lionesses Futures Fund, aim to enhance facilities and access to sports for women and girls. Furthermore, safeguarding remains a top priority, with ongoing efforts to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all participants. Additionally, the Minister stressed the importance of addressing online abuse and discrimination, underscoring the government's resolve to create a positive and supportive sports culture.  

The Road Ahead: Media, Investment, and Governance

Looking forward, Minister Andrew emphasized the critical role of media coverage, investment, and governance in shaping the future of women’s sports. Initiatives like the Women’s Sport Investment Accelerator scheme are designed to drive further growth and visibility. The strengthened Code for Sports Governance ensures that diversity and inclusion remain at the forefront of sports administration.   A Collective Endeavour In closing, Minister Andrew celebrated the unsung heroes of women's sports — the volunteers and community leaders who dedicate themselves to promoting sports and addressing broader societal issues. The Minister's speech was not just a reflection on past achievements but a call to action for the future, envisioning a sports landscape where women and girls thrive, supported by robust policies, community engagement, and a united vision for equality and excellence in sports.   Sources: THX News, Department for Culture, Media and Sport & The Rt Hon Stuart Andrew MP.

Another Top Ten Favorite Reads of 2023

I’m ranking this group of books as well. 

#11

The Sin of Abbé Mouret Émile Zola (1875)

The Belly of Paris Émile Zola (1873)

The Bright Side of Life Émile Zola (1884)

Nana Émile Zola (1880)

Zola! Zola! Zola!  All lower tier Zola novels, but interesting just the same.  In The Sin of Abbé Mouret a priest falls in love with a woman and then Zola recounts their love as if he were retelling the Garden of Eden story.  Beautiful, maddening and one of the most experimental of all his novels.  The Belly of Paris deals with what we call Farmer’s Markets.  It isn’t disgusting like Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle, but the butcher shop that is the focal point for the characters involved isn’t always a paragon of good health.  The Bright Side of Life uses the title ironically as a family takes in a ten year old who has inherited the wealth of her parents who ran the butcher shop in The Belly of Paris.  The family taking her in manage to rob her of that wealth and then blame her for allowing them to do so.  Nana is about a high class prostitute who enjoys ruining every man she meets until she meets a man who delights in abusing her.  What happens to Nana in the final pages of the novel is almost abusive on Zola’s part. 

#12

Crook Manifesto Colson Whitehead (2023)

Last year Colson Whitehead’s Harlem Shuffle made my Top Ten list.  It is a about a Harlem furniture salesman named Ray Carney, a character who introduced me to medieval sleeping and his hilarious hijinks as he struggles to be both a good citizen and a criminal.  In the second book of this trilogy, Carney is back, but this time he plans on going the straight and narrow. No more criming for Carney.  At least until a detective threatens him with serious time if he doesn’t pull off a heist for the detective to benefit from.  Another very funny novel that ultimately has some rather serious consequences for Carney.  Of course, I look forward to the final book about Ray Carney.

#13

My Last Innocent Year Daisy Alpert Florin (2023)

When Isabel Rosen has an affair with her writing professor at a prestigious college, we know the professor should know better.  What makes this interesting is that it is told from the point of view of the student having the affair and we catch glimpses that tell us she is recounting this affair in the future, which means she has processed it and weighed it out.  For better or worse, Isabel Rosen is a wise young woman. This is a remarkable debut.

#14

Day Michael Cunningham (2023)

Taking place on the same day over three consecutive years beginning in April 2019, we discover how love/ marriage is entered into for the worst reasons (loneliness, a union of two like minded people, because prospects weren’t going to improve, etc) and how that slowly ebbs away at people.  It also documents how COVID changed the world, yet never at any point in time does that word enter into the novel.  I assumed this would be a downer of a book but it is blisteringly funny…and sad.  Social media just ruins everything. 

#15

My Death Lisa Tuttle (2004)

This freaky novel takes a (fictious) legendary mistress of a (fictitious) famous painter and a (fictitious) author who wants to pen a biography of said mistress and then turns the entire situation inside out.  The mistress turns out to have been a painter herself not to mention an expert at behind the scenes manipulation.  The book’s title is the name of the outrageous painting the author discovers. Was the author really encountering serendipity when she discovered that painting by the mistress or was this all a grand scheme to trick the author?   Who is being played here: the mistress, the author or the reader?

#16

Big Day Coming: Yo La Tengo And The Rise of Indie Rock Jesse Jarnow (2012)

Once upon a time I used to read virtually every bio about bands I loved and then one day I stopped.  A massive Yo La Tengo kick lead me back to this book that I ignored back in the day.  How is it there is a trio of people who have no controversy swirling around them other than maybe occasionally one of them isn’t always the nicest of people.  Ooh.  That might describe all of us.

#17

The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly Sun-Mi Hwang (2000)

A hen who yearns to lay eggs yet can’t and is eventually culled but doesn’t die and then is saved by a mallard who everyone makes fun of.  Together this pair of misfit animals manage to raise a family and the cycle of life marches on.  This is a fantastic tale of dreams and familial bonds crossing species because like with humans, the one who puts in the work gets the right to be called Mom. 

#18

Address Unknown Katherine Kressmann Taylor (1938)

Written in 1938 and told in epistolary form it contains 18 letters and one telegram passed back and forth between two German men.  One of the men is Jewish and runs an art gallery in San Francisco.  His partner, not Jewish, has returned to Germany.  What happens is expected of course (through our own awareness today of what took place), but again this was written in 1938.  Anyone claiming America knew nothing about the Nazi threat during that time is a liar. 

#19

Lucy Gayheart Willa Cather (1935)

Yes, this is minor Cather.  But I was so enraptured with the titular character I fell deep into this book.  Keep in mind, I never read the backs of books, so I rarely actually know what I’m getting into. I assumed this was a minor retelling by Cather of her brilliant Song of The Lark which is about an opera singer. Lucy goes to work for an opera singer.  From that point on, nothing, and I mean nothing I believed was going to happen, happened.  How is it that I have read all of Cather and I still did not realize that in Cather’s novels anyone who falls in love is doomed. Cather hated marriage and she demonstrated that endlessly by punishing anyone in her novels who was foolish enough to fall prey to marriage.  While Lucy didn’t marry, she did fall in love and was equally punished for that fault.

#20

Justine, or The Misfortunes of Virtue The Marquis de Sade (1791)

Is it possible for a book I absolutely detested to land on this of Favorite Reads?  Well, here it is, so the answer is obviously yes.  This wasn’t a favorite read but it was so memorable that I still think about it six months after the fact.  Justine and her sister lose their parents at an early age.  Justine gives herself to God and the sister marries a wealthy man and then ensures he dies young so she can inherit his wealth.  All Justine gets is raped by every single man (and occasionally a woman) that she encounters.  De Sade was an atheist and he believed that atheists lacked a moral code which allowed them to behave as terrible as they desired.  He takes this belief and punishes poor Justine for believing in God by ensuring she is raped, beaten, tortured over and over in the most excruciating detail.  This book is punishment.  It angers me because I am an atheist and I have a moral code.  De Sade even believes that women are such a blight on humanity that they should be done away with altogether.  Okay, genius, let’s see how long humanity would last without women.  De Sade was a fool but this book stays in my head like a song that won’t go away.  The only good thing about this novel was the ending which actually made me laugh out loud.  Poor Justine, in the end, even God didn’t love her.   This was the first and the last book I’ll ever read by Citizen de Sade.
