# A Year of Lesser

A Year of Lesser is the first novel of Canadian author David Bergen. It was published in 1996 by HarperCollins in Canada and the United States. The novel won the McNally Robinson Book of the Year Award in 1996.

## Plot

Johnny Fehr is a Mennonite Christian working as a salesman and living in a Canadian small town called Lesser, close to Winnipeg, Manitoba. At the start of the story his father commits suicide. The town of Lesser is a small community and hence every personal thing sooner or later becomes public. Johnny has his own problems like being an alcoholic and also being addicted to drugs. He falls in love with Lorraine and that brings excitement to his life. But he is already married to Charlene and also has kids with her. The scandal breaks open into the society and with turn of events Johnny loses his family of wife and children, his lover and also his few close friends. Coming from orthodox thoughts, people start treating him like a sinner but Johnny wishes to still live with grace and dignity.

## Publication and development

A Year of Lesser is the first novel by Bergen. He grew up in the small Canadian province of Manitoba town of Niverville, Manitoba. As the lead character of the novel also belongs to Manitoba, The Toronto Star noted that Bergen's Mennonite upbringing has influenced his writing for the novel. The novel was published in 1996 by HarperCollins in Canada and the United States.

## Reviews and reception

The novel won the McNally Robinson Book of the Year Award in 1996. Bergen again won the award in 2005 for The Time in Between and in 2009 for The Retreat. The graphic design of the book cover by designing firm Concrete Design Communications Inc., art director John Pylypczak and designer Daniel Andreani won the Merit Award by The Advertising & Design Club of Canada in 1996. The cover used a photography by William Eggleston.
Kirkus Reviews appreciates the novel as "moving, credible, and subtle" but criticizes for being "long and shapeless overall". American novelist Claire Messud in her New York Times review mentions that through novel "David Bergen explores what happens when the simplest of contemporary souls asks the biggest questions, and the novel, as rigorously unpretentious as its hero, attests to the ambiguities of the undertaking". Though The New York Times named the novel as "a notable book", it did not have a successful sell in the United States.

The Tribune reported on 9 April 2016 that Mahant and members of a dera of Nath yogis in the sanctuary found the ancient rectangular bricks from a 15 feet deep structure after an old banyan tree was uprooted. According to Rajendra Singh Rana, curator of Kurukshetra’s Srikrishna Museum, prima facie these bricks and structure appears to be older than 1500 years old as square bricks are associated with 1,500 years old Gupta period (320 CE to 550 CE) and these bricks are likely to be even older from the Kushan (30 CE to 375 CE) period as the Sarasvati river use to flow here.
There is also a 40 years old water well made of small lakhauri bricks associated with the Mughal empire era.

# Sarstoon Island

Sarstoon Island is an island at the southernmost point of Belize located near the mouth of the Sarstoon River. The main channel of Sarstoon River is located south of Sarstoon Island and forms part of the Belize–Guatemala border. Sarstoon Island is part of the Toledo District of Belize, which is one of 6 districts of the country. The island is mostly mangrove swampland and is uninhabited. It covers approximately 0.68 square kilometres (0.26 sq mi).
Sarstoon Island has been a focal point of the Belizean–Guatemalan territorial dispute, with Guatemala recently making claims to the island. Guatemalan Armed Forces (GAF) routinely patrol the waters of Sarstoon Island and illegally enter Belizean waters while preventing Belizean civilians from freely traversing the area belonging to Belize. There have been various incidents like these in recent years from 2015 to present, especially documented by the Belize Territorial Volunteers and leader Wil Maheia.
According to the Wyke-Aycinena Treaty of 1859, "any islands which may be found [within the Sarstoon River] shall belong to that Party on whose side of the main navigable channel they are situated." In 1860, commissioners for British Honduras (now Belize) and Guatemala surveyed the Sarstoon River and found that the river's current predominantly passed to the south of the island, making Sarstoon Island part of the territory of British Honduras. A map was drawn up from the survey results showing the boundary running along the southern channel. Both commissioners signed the map on May 13, 1861, certifying that the boundaries shown on it were correct. Guatemala later terminated the agreement, arguing that the United Kingdom had failed to live up to the conditions of the treaty.
In 2015, the government of Belize announced its intentions to build a forward operating base for the Belize Coast Guard on Sarstoon Island. Due to logistical concerns, however, the government decided to build the base on the mainland instead.

# TP-003

TP-003 is an anxiolytic drug with a novel chemical structure, which is used in scientific research. It has similar effects to benzodiazepine drugs, but is structurally distinct and so is classed as a nonbenzodiazepine anxiolytic.
TP-003 is a positive allosteric modulator at the benzodiazepine binding site of GABA$_A$ receptors. It possesses relative selectivity for benzodiazepine sites on α3-containing GABA$_A$ receptors, which are thought to contribute to the anxiolytic effects of benzodiazepines (in tandem with those containing α2 subunits). It has modest anticonvulsant activity although less than that of diazepam.
