Home Is a Lonely, Wind-Lashed Isle
The Lost Lights of St Kilda by Elisabeth Gifford - 3 stars
I had no idea where we were headed, no idea what lay before us. All I knew was I was ready to travel the length and breadth of France if the world would give me one more chance to spend one more hour with you – to say I’m sorry.
In 1927, Cambridge student Fred ends up on the remote Scottish island of St Kilda to study the local rock formations and falls in love with Chrissie, a local woman. Thirteen years later, he is stranded in war-torn France and wondering how that summer romance long ago went so wrong…
I picked up this book because I was rather tired of the glut of World War Two narratives, generally about members of the French Resistance, and this promised something different. And indeed it delivered – most of the story is set on St Kilda, a remote Scottish island of which I had never heard before, but felt quite acquainted with by the time the book ended. The writing is lyrical and brought St Kilda with all its lush sea-swept beauty to vivid life. The parts which incorporate the history of the island were fascinating and really cemented how attached Chrissie was to her home. This made the ensuing evacuation quite emotional.
However, the plot felt somewhat thin. This is the story of how Fred and Chrissie fell in love, and what tore them apart, but we don’t see much of them falling in love and what tears them apart feels almost silly, unfortunately. I was also ambivalent on the character of Archie – I wish we got a better understanding of him, for while his actions are what drive the plot, his decisions seemingly come out of nowhere.
My copy of this book was an audiobook, narrated by Fiona McNeill, Geoffrey Newland, and Diane Brooks, who respectively voice Chrissie, Fred, and Rachel Anne, Chrissie’s daughter. The narration was done in Scottish accents, which for a hapless American like me took a little time to get used to! I thought the narration was well-done, though, and the narrators’ musical voices helped set the stage.
Overall, an interesting and emotional read for those interested in more obscure British historical settings.
Disclaimer: I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley. This is my honest and voluntary review.

International cricket centuries by Hashim Amla
Hashim Amla is a cricketer who represents the South Africa national cricket team and is the captain of the national Test side. He has scored centuries (100 or more runs in a single innings) in Test and One Day International (ODI) matches on 23 and 21 occasions respectively. As of 19 August 2015, he has played 84 Tests and 118 ODIs for South Africa, scoring 6,770 and 5,743 runs respectively. Former England captain Geoffrey Boycott once said about him that "he bats in a way that gives very little hope for the bowlers" and "he plays the same way at the start of his innings as he does at the end of it".
Amla made his Test debut against India at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, in 2004. His first century came two years later against New Zealand at the Newlands Cricket Ground, Cape Town. His score of 311 not out, against England at The Oval, London, in 2012, is the only triple century by a South African batsman in Test cricket. Amla has scored Test centuries at fifteen cricket grounds, including ten at venues outside South Africa. He has scored his twenty-three Test centuries against eight different opponents; he is most successful against Australia and India, making five each. As of 2015, Amla is third in the list of Test century-makers for South Africa.
Amla made his ODI debut in 2008 against Bangladesh at the Chittagong Divisional Stadium, Chittagong. His first century came in the same year against the same team at the Willowmoore Park, Benoni. His highest ODI score is 159 against Ireland at the Manuka Oval, Canberra in 2015. Amla is the fastest batsman to reach 2,000, 3,000, 4,000 and 5,000 runs in ODIs, taking 40, 57, 81 and 101 innings respectively to do so. He has played 15 Twenty20 International (T20I) matches, without scoring a century, his highest score being 47 not out. As of 2015, Amla is eighth in the list of century-makers in international cricket, all formats of the game combined.

Bí ẩn đằng sau những trí tuệ thần đồng
Tài năng thiên bẩm và quá trình nuôi dưỡng
Nhiều người tin rằng thần đồng là những người có khả năng thiên bẩm, ngay khi sinh ra đã có trí tuệ hơn người. Tuy nhiên, các nghiên cứu chỉ ra đó còn là do môi trường, hoàn cảnh gia đình và bối cảnh xã hội tác động.
Có thể kể tới trường hợp của Mozart. Là một trong những nhạc sĩ tài ba nhất mọi thời đại nhưng ông không phải một tài năng bẩm sinh như nhiều người từng nghĩ. Trong cuốn sách của mình, tác giả Geoffrey Colvin cho rằng Mozart trở nên vĩ đại như vậy nhờ quá trình tập luyện gian khổ. Ông được cha mình dạy dỗ từ bé. Sau đó là hàng loạt buổi biểu diễn cho giới quý tộc cùng những chuyến lưu diễn khắp nơi suốt thời thơ ấu.
Thông minh và tự kỷ
Gần đây, các nhà khoa học đã đi sâu nghiên cứu, phân tích các yếu tố tạo nên một thiên tài và họ nhận ra rằng, bên cạnh bộ não thông minh vượt trội, trí nhớ siêu phàm, không ít thiên tài còn có dấu hiệu của hội chứng Asperger - một dạng tự kỷ.
Dấu hiệu của chứng bệnh này đã xuất hiện ở một số thiên tài nổi tiếng thế giới. Giáo sư tâm thần học Michael Fitzgerald của Đại học Trinity tại Ireland, cho rằng các đặc điểm liên quan tới hội chứng tự kỷ giống hệt với những gì người ta thường thấy ở các thiên tài. Nhà vật lý Isaac Newton (Anh), nhà vật lý Albert Einstein (Mỹ), nhà soạn nhạc Ludwig van Beethoven (Đức), nhà văn George Orwell (Anh), thiên tài âm nhạc Mozart (Áo), nhà văn Hans Christian Andersen (Đan Mạch)… nằm trong số những tài năng có một số biểu hi��n của bệnh tự kỷ.
Chỉ số IQ cao
Những đứa trẻ thiên tài thường có chỉ số số IQ từ 128 - cao hơn so với mức trung bình 100 của dân số chung. Qua rất nhiều nghiên cứu, giới khoa học đã khẳng định rằng dấu hiệu này hoàn toàn có thể giúp bạn sở hữu trí thông minh vượt trội của một thiên tài.
Có trí nhớ tốt
Trí thông mình ở mỗi người có liên quan mật thiết tới khả năng ghi nhớ. Tiếp cận những thứ mới mẻ hay đưa ra các quyết định hợp lý và rút kinh nghiệm từ những thông tin sai lầm mà chúng ta lưu giữ trong ký ức - tất cả đều là những công việc của trí nhớ
Những em bé tài năng thường khiến bố mẹ ngạc nhiên vì những gì trẻ nhớ và liên hệ được ngay từ nhỏ. Ví dụ, bé có thể nhớ vị trí chính xác của đồ chơi trong nhà, hoặc nhớ được màu sắc của món đồ vật mà cách đó 1-2 tháng bé không hề nhìn thấy.
Suy nghĩ khác người
Thiên tài trong mọi thời đại đều từng hứng chịu những lời chê cười vì những ý tưởng, đam mê lạc lõng với thời đại.
John Alexander Newlands từng là đối tượng để mọi người châm chọc khi ông phát minh bảng hệ thống tuần hoàn hóa học đầu tiên. Người ta chế giễu anh em nhà Wright khi họ thực hiện liên tục các thử nghiệm đối với máy bay. Thậm chí nhiều người còn gọi họ là những kẻ dối trá khi họ đề xuất việc thử nghiệm bay có người lái. Toàn bộ giới khoa học phớt lờ Gregor Mendel sau khi ông công bố phát hiện về nguồn gốc của di truyền học.
Với những sáng tác nghệ thuật khó hiểu tới mức khác thường so với khả năng thưởng thức của khán giả khi ấy, những...

Official UK Trailer for 'Moon Dogs' Road Trip to Glasgow Indie Movie
"So what's the deal with the two love birds in the back?" Amber Content has debuted a trailer for a film called Moon Dogs, which won Best International First Feature at Galway Film Fleadh 2016. No, this isn't an animated movie about dogs who go to the moon. Moon Dogs is about two teenage step-brothers, Michael and Thor, who take a road trip from Shetland to Glasgow for very different reasons. They're joined by an aspiring Irish singer named Caitlin, and if you can't already guess, things get heated when both boys fall for her. Jack Parry-Jones and Christy O’Donnell star, along with Tara Lee, Chris Donald, Tam Dean Burn, Tanya Franks, Geoffrey Newland, and Shauna Macdonald. This looks like a very odd, spunky, entertaining little coming-of-age film, which was nominated for a BAFTA Scotland last year. Check this out. ›››

Alien Heart / Dalek Soul (Big Finish)
Latest Review: Alien Heart by Stephen Cole Dalek Soul by Guy Adams Directed by Ken Bentley Cast: Peter Davison (The Doctor), Sarah Sutton (Nyssa), Eve Webster (Sonderal), Geoffrey Newland (Elthar), Alex Tregear (Theebe), Vineeta Rishi (Falex), and Nicholas Briggs (The Daleks) Big Finish Productions - Released April 2017 For this year’s trilogy featuring the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Doctors in successive releases, Big Finish have abandoned the tradition of three linked stories featuring different Doctors and instead adopted for an experimental change to their regular release format of a four-part story. Alien Heart / Dalek Soul is the first of three releases each fearing two stories told over two episodes, each by different authors. Alien Heart by Stephen Cole sees the Doctor and Nyssa arrive on the moon of the planet Traxana, having discovered that ten nearby planets have been mysteriously destroyed by an unknown device. The story takes the fairly-standard approach of separating the Doctor and Nyssa early on so they can interact with other characters. Nyssa ends up on the planet Traxana itself with one of the natives whilst the Doctor remains at the moon’s outpost station with the two investigating crew members. Naturally, the two strands eventually combine to allow the two travellers to be reunited at the stories climax only for there to be a somewhat unexpected cliffhanger. Whilst it may on first listening seem that having promised a stand-alone two-part story Big Finish have cheated a little by setting the scene for what follows, this is by no means a four-part story in disguise. Dalek Soul by Guy Adams picks up some time after the conclusion of the previous adventure. Nyssa is now on the planet Mojox, working as Chief Virologist to the Daleks and yet she can’t seem to quite recall how she and the Doctor ended up there. The Doctor, meanwhile appears to have undergone something of a personality transplant and is now working as a Dalek agent attempting to infiltrate a Mojoxalli resistance cell. This gives both Sarah Sutton and Peter Davison an excellent opportunity to play against their usual characters as both are given opportunities to show their more ruthless sides. As the clues to what has befallen both characters begin to assemble, this leads to one of the more memorable conclusions of Big Finish’s Doctor Who range and must certainly rank as one of Davison’s best performances on audio to date. Much credit to Adams, who has done great work on several of Big Finish’s other ranges including the Torchwood audios, for giving this well-established team such original material to work with. Having given the main range a welcome sense of reinvigoration, the next release will offer two new stories for the Sixth Doctor and Flip. Alien Heart / Dalek Soul is available now from amazon.co.uk http://reviews.doctorwhonews.net/2017/06/alien_heart_dalek_soul_big_finish.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr

This title was released in April 2017. It will be exclusively available to buy from the BF website until May 31st 2017, and on general sale after this date.
Alien Heart by Stephen Cole
In the TARDIS, the Doctor and Nyssa stumble across a trail of ten destroyed worlds, all of them obliterated by means of some utterly monstrous but utterly unknown device. The planet Traxana would seem to be next in line to suffer the same fate. But when the TARDIS lands on an outpost on Traxana’s moon, Nyssa is carried away by a tide of giant green arachnoids, leaving the Doctor behind…
And the coming menace is closer than he thinks.
Dalek Soul by Guy Adams
On the Dalek-occupied world of Mojox, a group of rebels is engaged in a futile fightback against the invaders – but at last they’ve found an ally, in the form of the mysterious Doctor. Elsewhere, however, the Daleks’ Chief Virologist is seeking to perfect a biological weapon to wipe out the Mojoxalli, once and for all.
Her name… is Nyssa.
