New Book by James W White Carp Café

New York, NY – ADELAIDE BOOKS is proud to present the latest work by James W. White: Carp Café

 

I love James White’s Carp Café. With seeming ease and lots of insight, White captures the uniqueness, charm, fragility, and resilience of Carpinteria, a small southern California beach town. Reading it, you will taste the salt on your lips, feel the sand between your toes, hear the waves crashing onto the beach. As to his protagonist, Shelly Friedman, is she on a hero’s journey or is she on a downward slide into alcohol-induced chaos? I highly recommend you read Carp Café and find out. —Toni Morgan, author of the widely acclaimed Queenie’s Place and other novels.

Master story-teller James W. White is back with a guaranteed good time story set in the surf-side town of Carpinteria, California in the aftermath of the horrific Thomas wildfire. Everyone’s got a bit of PTSD, what with the burning mountains and rising sea levels squeezing the town from all directions. Enter Shelly Friedman, a single, 45-year old personnel counselor with a drinking problem, blowing into town for a day trip in her classic sixty-four-and-a-half Mustang. She uncovers the hidden past of a slickster named Tom, a guy she has just screened for a job back in LA. Another guy named Tom, a bartender, sparks a passing fancy. They gin up a commemorative cocktail to honor the fire-fighters who saved the town.

But the man of the hour is surfer Dave, an aging beach bum who comes to Shelly’s rescue when she runs over the town’s favorite yellow lab. Dave’s in Carpinteria because he’s hiding out from Hell’s Angels. His girlfriend just dumped him, leaving a note in his post office box, and ran off with a gang of unsavory characters.

Spend a little time at the Carp Café. It’s a friendly little place, populated by White’s sharply drawn, good hearted but slightly-off characters. Doris, the proprietress, will ply you with home-baked wonders. Have a fire-fighter martini or two at The End Zone. Get a forty-dollar parking ticket. Stay over at Nancy’s Place, if you’re too tipsy to drive home. There’s an ocean view from every room where you can enjoy a six-pack sunset, almost as beautiful as a tequila sunrise. You’ll be glad you came. You might even decide to stay. White’s novella is as good as it gets. —Marty Malin, author of Grand- mother’s Devil & Other Tempting Tales

Sketch Restaurant Review To Splurge Or Not To Splurge

Located in the affluent English Mayfair block, along Conduit Street specifically, is the posh and extravagantly designed Sketch. If you do a quick search of Sketch restaurant reviews, you’d immediately know one of its strongest selling points: It’s awarded three Michelin stars. Created by restaurateur Mourad Mazouz, it’s also the only restaurant in the whole United Kingdom to ever get a taste of Pierre Gagnaire’s adventurous menu.

In case you aren’t aware of it, Gagnaire is a Parisian chef whose flagship restaurant in the French city also has enviable three Michelin stars. As he now runs various restaurants across the globe, Sketch has been entrusted to chef Johannes Nuding, who served as the head chef of Gagnaire’s Moscow restaurant.

Here’s a quick review of Sketch’s popular menu and aesthetic is indeed worth the splurge.

Food For People With Adventurous Palate

This flamboyant building houses a casual restaurant and a bar on the ground floor. Upstairs is its flagship restaurant that earned Sketch its coveted Michelin stars — the Sketch Lecture Room and Library.

They have full a la carte and epic eight-course tasting menus, filled with unique dishes for meat and seafood lovers and vegetarians alike. In addition to these, they also offer the more budget-friendly Gourmet Rapide set lunch on weekends. They host dinners from Wednesdays to Saturdays.

Like the restaurant’s elaborate interior elements, its menu also features subheadings that will pique your attention (for instance, "Sea Garden").

But beyond what’s written on their menus, they serve dishes that do excite especially those who have an adventurous palate.

One of the things that they’re most popular for is the langoustine five-way starter. They also have an indulgent grand dessert, which features beautifully prepared and equally tasty miniature delicacies (including a small tall bowl of peach and vanilla cream with blackcurrant at the bottom). Another exotic offering off their menu is the green pepper ice cream — which features a coconut cream underneath for a fantastically sweet surprise.

If you read sketch restaurant reviews, you’ll be more familiar with how many of their patronisers wish that their portions could have been more generous. Nonetheless, this is well compensated by the quality and taste of the dishes themselves.

Another great thing about it is their celebrated international wine list. It has around 1,200 bins — a wide-ranging option that guarantees you that there’s always something to complement your food.

If you’re wondering whether to splurge or not when you visit the Sketch, the answer is simply yes. Their masterfully created dishes, especially when eaten in a lavishly stylish space, offer a unique dining experience that’s truly one for the books.

EnSuite Cloud ReVue Upgraded to Support Latest CAD Formats

Allows real-time engineering collaboration using latest 2D & 3D CAD formats.

Farmington Hills, MI, USA | March 28, 2022 -- CCE, a leading provider of advanced CAD interoperability solutions, announced its recent release of EnSuite-Cloud ReVue that allows users to collaborate using latest versions from all major CAD formats.

EnSuite-Cloud ReVue is a revolutionary web-based real-time engineering collaboration software that allows users to collaborate using the latest versions of all major 2D and 3D CAD formats. What sets it apart from other collaboration and screen-sharing applications is the ability for participants to take local control of the CAD model for their independent review and analysis, without disrupting the meeting for everyone else or compromising intellectual property. Users can collaborate using the latest CAD versions from CATIA V5, 3DXML, NX, Creo, SOLIDWORKS, Inventor, Solid Edge, JT, Parasolid and glTF among others.

“The success we’ve had with EnSuite-Cloud ReVue since its initial launch last year has a lot to do with our ability to keep pace with the changes in the CAD formats and keeping our software up-to-date at all times. With CAD companies moving to subscription licensing, end users adopt new CAD versions a lot sooner and with regularity than before. Its incumbent upon us, especially as a key design collaboration tool, to always support these latest versions,” said Vinay Wagle, CCE’s V.P. of Sales and Marketing.

Besides enhancements related to supporting latest CAD versions, there have been significant number of product interface updates that will provide users with a richer user experience. This is in continuation of recent updates earlier this year related to the introduction of “SmartPicking” and “SmartMeasure” tools aimed at making the collaboration sessions significantly more efficient.

Since its general availability earlier this year, EnSuite-Cloud ReVue has received rave reviews from leading industry analysts in publications like Lifecycle Insights, Engineering.com, MCADCafe, Digital Engineering among others.

Key benefits of using EnSuite-Cloud ReVue for secure online meetings for engineering collaboration over typical screen-sharing apps like Zoom, Teams and Webex include:

* Independent Local control of collaboration session without compromising intellectual property
* High-quality 3D rendering with zero loss of fidelity of viewable data
* Natural collaboration experience without any overhead for data or session preparation
* Ultra-low latency allowing for excellent response/refresh rates
* Low bandwidth usage allowing for easy sharing of large CAD models
* Screen-sharing option for non-CAD documents for richer collaboration

All new users can Test Drive ReVue to evaluate the product using just their Google or Microsoft emails. Users can visit the EnSuite-Cloud ReVue page for additional product and pricing information.

Mixed Mental Health Announces New Online Life Coaching Services for Mixed Race Women

According to a report by the Pew Research Center, "mixed" is the fastest-growing racial category in the U.S. With this growth comes an increasing need for resources that cater to mixed-race individuals. Mixed Mental Health is proud to announce the launch of its new online life coaching services that engage mixed-race women and help them integrate the fantastic and beautiful pieces of who they are, build confidence, and crush their goals.

In addition, they offer counseling sessions designed to inspire, motivate and help mixed-race women realize that they have the potential to be great. Unfortunately, mixed-race women often bury their identities, feeling like they don’t fit into any community, and cast aside the "real" them, abandoning their self-journey. Losing their way is consistently happens as they get lost in the layers of societal expectations. Some of the challenges that mixed-race women face include:

  • Systemic racism with their family of origin
  • Uncertainty of safety with others
  • Navigating womanhood in an oppressive society
  • A deep sense of loneliness due to the lack of a nurturing society
  • A heightened sense of empathy that causes you to "feel" more and burn out regularly

Tackling these issues and helping women deal with them directly requires a unique perspective that aligns with these experiences. Unfortunately, a mono-racial mental health professional doesn’t have the tools to help mixed-race women with their specific needs. To begin healing those who are lost, the therapist must understand the experiences of mixed-race women and how they can take a toll. Brittany George, the founder of Mixed Mental Health, says: "The purpose of her guidance is not to tell anyone who you are, but to initiate (or fuel) the fire in them that wants to find out."

Through their services, mixed-race women find a place where they can visualize their dreams and make them a reality. Mixed Mental Health takes care of the logistics and offers a listening ear, understanding heart, and experienced hand to help on the journey. Brittany has created a place where all aspects of identity are welcome.

By creating a grand haven to connect with their guide weekly, Brittany provides mixed-race women a place to unpack their experiences, find better ways to manage stress, and express their emotions confidently and safely. Through self-healing, the seeds of curiosity can push through the fear of saying "yes" to new opportunities. By releasing one's full potential, mixed-race women can live one entire life instead of a thousand half ones.

Mixed Mental Health offers unique therapeutic sessions that help individuals achieve identity clarity. In addition, through the online program, like-minded women participate in empathetic community therapy. To learn more and begin the journey, please visit their website.
