In this mash up and send up of the Shakespeare classic where the Bard meets Dashiell Hammett, comes a new twist as the job of exposing the King of Denmark's killer falls to tough talking private eye Richard Shamus, prime operative of the F.B.I. That's the Fictional Bureau of Investigation. Shamus handles the toughest, dirtiest case in English literature. He is by every turn of the phrase a fictional detective.Summoned by the King of Denmark who lives in fear for his life, Shamus arrives in 16th Century Denmark to find the King dying from "murder most foul." Before he expires the King extracts a promise from Shamus to find his killer and aid his son Prince Hamlet in avenging his death. There's just one problem. The King dies before he can identify his murderer.As he pursues the case Shamus falls under the spell of the ambitious Lady Ophelia, a femme fatale who seems to want everthing including our detective.With nobody pointing a finger, except straight up, Shamus focuses his suspicions on Gertrude, King Hamlet's beautiful and randy widow and Claudius, her new husband who has claimed the dead king's crown for himself.Shamus's job isn't made any easier by the King's irascible Ghost and, the always on the fence, Prince Hamlet who expresses no interest in avenging a father he hated.In this shifting landscape of deceit and deception, the only thing Shamus knows for sure is that something is definitely rotten in the state of Denmark.

From providing as assist to a silverback gorilla undergoing surgery to spending a long morning in pursuit of a loose peacock harassing the nuns and students at a local Catholic school, Dr. Ed Migneco has rarely had a dull day at work. Even the routine dog and cat visits in his veterinary office and animal rescue work carry moments of drama, triumph, and heartbreak that often reveal as much about the humans involved as the animals themselves. The St. Louis veterinarian has close to 40 years' experience, and his longtime practice, Hillside Animal Hospital, opened more than 60 years ago as one of the first veterinary clinics in the city.In the collection of short and poignant stories, Dr. Ed employs a gentle humor and sharp observation to share tales reminiscent of James Herriot's work in "All Creatures Great and Small." The incredible bonds between people and their pets make these pages relatable for readers of every age. And don't be surprised if you recognize yourself or someone you know in the anecdotes about poorly explained symptoms, miraculous recoveries, embarrassing dog behaviors, and moments of hope for animal in desperate situations! As dr. Ed writes, among his veterinary friends, "we all seem to have the same clients, just the names have been changed to protect the innocent."

The book is built up on autobiographical stories of travels in various parts of the globe, capturing in its frame the geographical settings, the layman's geology, the historical anecdotes, some anthropological findings, narration of relevant social and academic environments, and description of stunning landscapes. This is primarily based on the author's personal diaries spanning over a few decades. The book is pictorial, and the author consolidated his narrations in sixteen independent chapters. The book starts with the author's growing up in the suburbs of Kolkata, and his education in Presidency College, now University, in Kolkata and later in the erstwhile Soviet Union. The book also narrates the unique features of the USA, the Swiss Alps, the Scandinavia, China, Africa, Australia and Middle East. The contents, however, are not designed to provide any travel guide. The book is totally apolitical. It focuses on the author's penchant for knowing and sharing diversity of the world through irresistible wanderlust.

He's a dashing millionaire who thinks everything in life is one big joke, probably because he bathes in piles of money each morning. He's also my new neighbor, and after a humiliating experience in the cemetery that is my backyard, he becomes my shadow, showing up everywhere just to annoy me.I'm not a fan of happy people. They bother me with their constant grins and rainbows coming out of their ears, and Vander Booth is the king of smiles. Despite my efforts to scare him away with both my profession as an undertaker and my general need for frowning through most of my workday, he sticks around like a bad case of poison ivy.He is gorgeous though. I'll give him that. And when I see the way he coordinates outfits with his grandma just to make her happy, I'll admit my biological clock starts ticking. Add in his fear of real human connections and suddenly I find myself cheering for the guy instead of plotting his death.Though opposites can attract-and boy is my black lipstick attracted to his glow-in-the-dark smile-they don't stay together long-term. And they certainly can't co-exist when they're fighting constantly in a knock-down, drag-out competition for the same piece of land for their business venture. Or can they? Cue ominous organ music...

Kassondra Rockswell moved to Atlanta, GA with her young daughter in 2008 to further pursue her career as a vocal artist. Thinking it would provide some steady income while she advanced her craft, she stumbled into the restaurant industry as a server. She immediately noticed some disturbing consistencies among the black diners. Most of them were extremely difficult to serve, and many did not care at all about tipping properly. Trying to understand this kept Rockswell awake at night. She began venting her frustrations on napkins and scraps of paper at work, which transitioned into journaling about it at home...which evolved into this amazing book. Rockswell's got the audacity to tell Black folks that, not only are they not tipping properly when they dine out, they are also exhibiting completely unacceptable behavior in restaurants.With courage and literary finesse, Rockswell examines how the institutions of slavery and sharecropping helped to create today's restaurant tipping system and how all this is connected to the controversial tipping habits of American Blacks.Weaving her reader through hilariously true tales of uninformed diners and famous celebrities with abusive behavior, Rockswell gracefully intersects fair wage, racial discrimination and sexual harassment with laughter, hope and promise.BLACK FOLKS DON'T TIP is a delightful treat from beginning to end--enlightening, educational and entertaining.

Looking ahead, Instagram's influence over the future of news consumption will only grow due to the convergence of audience preferences, shifting technology capabilities, and shifting regulatory environments. Upholding journalistic standards and fostering informed civic discourse require social media platforms to handle significant ethical, legal, and societal ramifications as they grow more integrated into the news ecosystem.
