# Slaves of Spiegel

Slaves of Spiegel is a 1982 epistolary novel by Daniel Pinkwater.

## Plot summary

At the beginning of the story, a community of obese space pirates inhabit the planet Spiegel, but periodically raid other planets for fattening food. At a feast celebrating their raids, the pirates' supreme commander 'Sargon the Great' initiates a new expedition for the three greatest cooks in the galaxy; at the conclusion whereof, the three finalists and their assistants are brought to a grand festival on Spiegel, and ordered to satisfy all the pirates in a contest of their skills, of which the winner's prize is the lifelong position of chief cook to the pirates themselves. Among the finalists are Steve Nickleson (the protagonist of an earlier book) and his assistant Norman Bleistift, whereof Norman serves as first-person narrator of nearly one-half of the text. Ultimately, Steve and Norman win the second prize of 600 pounds of Spiegelian blue garlic and transport home, which Steve later uses to create a "bright blue" pizza. The first place winner is forced to cook for the pirates forever.

### Narration

The story is told partly in Pinkwater's own narration, and partly by his characters: chiefly Norman Bleistift and Sargon the Great, but secondarily various others including civic officials, flying saucer enthusiasts, and radio-commentators on Earth, and a subordinate of Sargon's on Spiegel.

## Continuity

The character of Rolzup, the Martian High Commissioner of Alan Mendelsohn, the Boy from Mars is mentioned; and the protagonists Steve Nickleson and Norman Bleistift appear in The Magic Moscow.

# See Now Then

See Now Then is the fifth novel of author Jamaica Kincaid, first published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 2013. Though reviewers were quick to note the many similarities between the characters in the novel and events in her life, Kincaid denied that the book was based on her divorce with Allen Shawn.

## Plot

Mr. and Mrs. Sweet live in a house formerly owned by Shirley Jackson with their two children Persephone and Heracles. As Mr. Sweet begins to grow bitter with his marriage Mrs. Sweet sinks into a depression.

## Reception

Dwight Garner, writing for The New York Times, called it "the kind of lumpy exorcism that many writers would have composed and then allowed to remain unpublished." The A.V. Club gave it a B− grade but criticized the work as "long-winded and unnecessarily repetitive." NPR gave a more generous review, saying that it was "one of the most damning retaliations by a jilted wife since Nora Ephron's Heartburn."
Kincaid hit back at the criticism, saying, "It's painful, in its way, to be dismissed because, 'Well, it's about her marriage and revenge or something.' It's not that at all."
# The Company War

The Company War is a 1983 board wargame published by Mayfair Games. It is based on American writer C. J. Cherryh's 1982 science fiction novel, Downbelow Station.

## Description

The Company War was developed by Bill Fawcett and James D. Griffin and published by Mayfair Games in 1983. Cherryh endorsed the game and contributed an introductory essay and star maps.
The game is for two to four players and can be completed in about an hour. It is played on a large board depicting Union–Alliance space with jump-points and space stations. Union and Earth Company ships, represented by counters, are moved about the board via dice. The aim of the game is to collect the most points by transporting goods between stations and destroying enemy ships.
An unofficial variant of the game (with Cherryh and Fawcett's permission), Advanced Company War, was developed by Christopher Weuve in 1997.

## Reception

Ryan Carroll reviewed The Company War in Ares Magazine Special Edition #2 and commented that "if you like science-fiction games or C.J. Cherryh's novels, you will enjoy this game. It could also serve as the basis for a miniatures campaign with some work, and the starmap could be adapted into a science-fiction role-playing game. The Company War game is easy to understand and challenging."

# The Book of All Power

The Book of All Power is a 1921 thriller novel by the British writer Edgar Wallace. It is an adventure story set around the time of the Russian Revolution of 1917.

## Plot

Malcolm Hay is a young man in London about to become an engineer for a Ukrainian-English oil company in the period before the First World War. The novel is set between the period 1914 to 1919. The Chairman of the Ukrainian Oil Company suggests that he meet Israel Kensky, a wealthy and influential elderly Jewish Russian man, before departing. In London, Hay becomes embroiled in machinations and intrigues involving the Romanov monarchy. The Grand Duke Yaroslav, the Prince Serganoff, Kensky's daughter Sophia, Boolba, American gangster Cherry Bim, and the Grand-Duchess Irene Yaroslav become entangled in plots, conspiracies, and assassination plans.
Serganoff, the Chief of the St. Petersburg Police, attempts to blackmail Irene into marrying him. He does this by arranging a police raid on the Silver Lion where the conspirators meet. The conspirators are known as the Foreign Friends of Freedom. Serganoff abducts Irene but is shot dead by Bim. Irene avoids arrest.
Hay travels to Kiev in June, 1914 where he again encounters Kensky, who gives him a book, The Book of All-Power, that can allegedly turn men into puppets willing to do one's will. Hay also happens to meet Grand-Duchess Irene Yaroslav, a beautiful young Russian woman who values Israel Kensky. Irene becomes an unwitting part of a plot by an ambitious and ruthless Russian prince, Serganoff, and recrosses paths with the American gunman named Cherry Bim.
Several years later, in 1919, during the Russian Revolution and civil war, Hay again encounters Irene, Kensky, and Bim, in very different circumstances. The Czarist regime has been overthrown by the Bolsheviks led by Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky. Hay is imprisoned as an enemy of the Revolution. Irene's former butler Boolba, who has joined the Bolsheviks, is now a person of some importance in Moscow, while Irene is a servant whom Boolba terrorizes. Entrusted with Kensky's coveted Book of All-Power, they must try to escape Russia before they are executed.
Hay, Bim, and Irene are able to escape from Boolba and his men. Bim shoots the blind Boolba dead as they flee to Poland aboard a train. Bim saved the Book of All-Power which he reveals contains English thousand pound notes.

## Publishing history

The novel was published by Ward, Lock & Co. in London in 1921. The first edition had an illustrated cover featuring the character Boolba, who is blind..

# The Devil Never Sleeps

The Devil Never Sleeps: Learning to Live in an Age of Disasters is a nonfiction book about anticipating disasters, written by Juliette Kayyem and published by PublicAffairs, Kayyem observes that disasters are increasing, inevitable, and managing risk before and after disasters is important. The book also emphasizes situational awareness to help with mitigation.

## Synopsis

The author discusses emergency management and disaster preparedness, and how people do not always serve the public’s best interest in a crisis. The work is divided into three major areas: "preparing for and reacting to catastrophic events, minimizing harm, and applying information gleaned from present-day disasters to those of the future."
The book emphasizes the importance of "situational awareness," and asserts that major events like Hurricane Katrina, and the January 6 Capitol attack could have been handled better if better preparation had been made. Minimizing cascading failure is a concept that is delved into, where preparation is made this in turns prevents further loss (fewer deaths from IEDs with better medical response). An example of tragedy from lack of preparation is seen from the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami which in turn caused the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.
Learning from disasters is important, like how people reacted to the 2004 tsunami and how changing people’s behaviors can save lives. Another topic discussed in the book is the "preparedness paradox", where something like the Year 2000 problem doesn't happen because of preparedness, leaving everyone to wonder whether the preparation was really necessary.

## About the author

In 2009 United States Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano appointed Kayyem Assistant Secretary for Intergovernmental Affairs. As Assistant Secretary, Kayyem was responsible for coordinated and consistent planning between the Department and all of its state, local, tribal, and territorial partners on issues like immigration, intelligence sharing, military affairs, border security, and the response to operational events such as H1N1 influenza outbreak, the December 25th attempted terrorist attack, the Haiti earthquake, and the BP oil spill.
Kayyem is a lecturer in Public Policy at the Kennedy School of Harvard University. Since 2001, Kayyem has been a resident scholar at the Belfer Center, serving both as Executive Director of the Kennedy School's Executive Session on Domestic Preparedness, a terrorism and homeland security research program, and as co-Director of Harvard's Long-Term Legal Strategy for Combating Terrorism. She also taught courses on law and national security.

## Reviews

Kirkus Reviews called the book, "an urgent, useful survival manual for our time." Publishers Weekly said that the work is, "full of practical advice and incisive analysis, this is an astute and timely road map for mitigating the consequences of the next cataclysm."
# Sehener

Sehener (alternatively read as Seheneser and Sehefener) was an ancient Egyptian princess living during the late 2nd Dynasty. It is disputed as to who was the king (pharaoh) that reigned during Sehener's lifetime.

## Identity

Sehener's name seems to be difficult to read, different scholars propose different alternative readings: James Edward Quibell proposes Sehener and Seheneser, Hartwig Altenmüller instead reads Sehefener.
Sehener is attested only by her decorated slab stela. Next to nothing is known about her life, except for her title as a princess. However, the richly decorated slab stela might point out that Sehener was pretty wealthy and of some importance. It is also unknown, whose daughter exactly she was. The decoration style leads Egyptologists such as James Edward Quibell and Hartwig Altenmüller to a datation at the time between the midst and end of 2nd Dynasty.

### Titles

As a princess, Sehener bore several elite and pious titularies:
* Daughter of the king (Egyptian: Sat-nesw).

### Slab stela

Sehener's slab stela was found by James Edward Quibell in the heavily damaged burial chamber of mastaba 2146-E in Saqqara. It is made of fine polished limestone and measures 112 x 52 cm. The offering scene lies in the center of the slab and takes 57 x 42 cm of space.
Sehener is depicted as a seated woman, she wears a finely curled hair fashion ending in long, delicate dreadlocks. She is dressed in a tight gown which is knotted together above her left shoulder, the knot is made of a lanyard in shape of the Tijt-knot. The lady also wears a delicate pearl necklace. Sehener looks to the right and reaches out for some sort of bread or cake on an offering table. The right half of the apparition window is decorated with the common arrangement of offering foods.
The whole offering table scene in turn is surrounded by a vast storage list in shape of neatly settled compartments. Each compartment provides the exact labelling of each good in hieroglyphs, together with a miniature of the item itself. Additionally, hieroglyphic numbers give the amount of each grave good – Sehener's stela may be the earliest known example to do so.

## Tomb

Sehener's tomb was the small mastaba 2146-E at Saqqara. The tomb is heavily damaged and most of the interior has been destroyed by grave robbers. The interior consisted of a simple corridor ending in a single burial chamber. The burial chamber is thought to be the original place of display for the slab stela, as it was usual for the Second Dynasty.
# Warren Rogers

Warren Joseph Rogers Jr. (May 6, 1922 – August 31, 2003) was a political reporter and an author. Born in New Orleans, Rogers took a liking to the press at an early age, working as a night messenger boy for the Postal Telegraph Co. and later as a copy boy for the New Orleans Item.
During World War II, Rogers served as a U.S. Marine and took part in the first offensive at Guadalcanal. He also served at Tulagi.
After returning home, Rogers work as a journalist with a New Orleans paper, but later joined the Associated Press and transferred to Baton Rouge to cover Louisiana politics.
In 1956, during the Adlai Stevenson campaign, Rogers first met Robert F. Kennedy, who was traveling with the press to prepare for his brother's 1960 presidential campaign. Despite the frequent arguments that they had with one another, Rogers and Kennedy became good friends as they sat on buses on Stevenson's campaign trail.
Rogers joined the Washington bureau of the New York Herald Tribune in 1959 and began reporting on the military, foreign affairs, the presidency, and national politics. During his time with the Herald Tribune, he was nominated for two Pulitzer Prizes: one for a series called "Our Man on the Bus" and one for a series of reporting on Green Beret combat in Vietnam, for which he made ten trips to that country. He also covered the Cuban Missile Crisis, the civil rights movement, the White House and the McCarthy hearings.
Rogers became bureau chief for the Hearst Corporation in 1963, and then was named Washington Editor for Look Magazine in 1966. In 1968, Rogers' friendship with Robert Kennedy allowed him an insider's view of Kennedy's campaign for the Democratic nomination. Rogers not only served as a reporter to the Kennedy campaign, but also as a near-staff member. Rogers was present during Kennedy's assassination on June 5, 1968, and even helped subdue the gunman, Sirhan Sirhan. In 1993, Rogers published a book called When I Think of Bobby: A Personal Memoir of the Kennedy Years (see below).
Warren Rogers died on August 31, 2003, from a perforated ulcer. He was 81 at the time of his death.
# Seguenzia cervola

Seguenzia cervola is a species of extremely small deep-water sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Seguenziidae.

## Description

(Original description by W.H. Dall) The height of the shell attains 4.5 mm. The white shell is small and slightly depressed. It has one small, smooth nuclear whorl and five subsequent whorls. These are flattened a little in front of a distinct suture. They are separated by a somewhat convex smooth fasciole from a thread-like keel above the periphery. In front of this is a wide, smooth interval. On the base of the shell are about a dozen spiral threads with wider interspaces, and very faint microscopic spiral striae are visible in all the interspaces under a lens. On the upper whorls, there is a small thread between the keel and the suture. Near the apex, they become obsolete. At the aperture, is a shallow sulcus between the keel and the suture and a smaller one at the middle of the base. There is a sharp notch below the end of the thin, arcuate projecting columella, behind which is a moderately large twisted umbilicus. The body shows no glaze. The base of the shell is conspicuously convex.

## Distribution

The type specimen of this marine species was found off the Coronado Islands, Baja California.
# The Encyclopedia of Super-Villains

The Encyclopedia of Super-Villains is a 1987 reference book written by Jeff Rovin and published by Facts on File that gives biographical details about comic book villains.

## Reception

In the April 1988 edition of Dragon (Issue #132), Jeff Grubb reviewed this book and its companion, The Encyclopedia of Superheroes, and found that this book was good, but not as good as the Superheroes book. Grubb found this book "has a major flaw in organization", where major villains are detailed in the entries of otherwise less notable villains rather than having their own separate entries. Grubb also found several errors of fact, but concluded that although flawed, this book was "still an enjoyable and entertaining book."
The Santa Ynez Valley News called the book "colorful, slightly daffy, definitely bizarre, thrilling, nostalgic and most of all fun to read." The Regina Sun said, "Although a mug shot is not provided for every villain, the encyclopedia will still serve as a useful reference for trivia enthusiasts."
