		But finding the individual is only the start of Solomon's trouble, and the story follows two separate lines: one regarding Solomon and his need for a heir to rid himself of his mother's legacy, and one regarding the lucky trust recipient, and her entry into the world of opera.

	Seminar Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The sampler that we use to estimate these frailties is a mixture of Gibbs and Metropolis techniques, and it is used on a data set of the infection times of kidney patients.
		The variance of the frailties is given an Inverse Gamma prior, and we also try a few different combinations for this, from non-informative to quite informative.
		However, the posterior estimates of all parameters are insensitive to variations in the prior assumptions of the baseline hazards and the variance of the frailties.

	Guy Gavriel Kay - Scholarship: Songs in the Blood: The Discourse of Music in Three Canadian Novels
		In the three texts studied, A Mixture of Frailties, Tigana and The Piano Man's Daughter, musical discourse appears in a number of similar forms: song titles and lyrics appear in the text, there are references to vocal line and placement, and several of the characters in each novel are professional musicians.
		As in A Mixture of Frailties, there are two narrative paths in Tigana; although magic is present in both, one set of main characters is involved with music while the other is not.
		In A Mixture of Frailties, one type of musical study at first draws Monica Gall away from her family and home in Canada and begins to help her to forge ties to a new career in England.

		"Mixture of Frailties" opens with the death of Solly's domineering mother.
		Her will leaves money to Solly's family only if he produces a male heir with his wife Veronica (previously known as Pearl); until then, her money is to be used in a trust for a young female artistic hopeful, who will go to Europe for a few years to study whatever she is good at.
		The third book (A Mixture of Frailties) departs from this formula, leaving the small town for the London classical music scene, and though preexisting characters play a minor role, the focus rests on a single new character.

	immediacy: Bellwether
		Tempest-Tost, Leaven of Malice, and A Mixture of Frailties »
		Willis manages to combine wordplay, cynicism, juxtaposition, running gags, ironic detachment, sarcasm, misunderstandings, and physical humor in a short 247 pages (the leading, or space between the lines, and font size are great enough here that I suspect Bellwether to be close in length to novella rather than novel).
		But what keeps the story interesting is the concept of trends and chaos--the mixture of public obsessions with scientific theory.

		Leaven of Malice is a 4 star effort, rivetting and Mixture of Frailties is one of the best novels I've read.
		However, "A Mixture of Frailties" represents Davies' first "serious" novel -- and remains one of the best descriptions of the making of an artist that I have read.
		The first time I read the trilogy, the change in tone disappointed me; however, "A Mixture of Frailties" has since become my favorite of the three.

	The Three Grades of Dean Knapp
		Of course if this triform nature of religious experience is truly archetypal then we should expect to find plentiful evidence of it in places quite far removed from Aleister Crowley and Thelema, and what better place than in the work of the late Canadian novelist, playwright, and journalist, Robertson Davies.
		In the last chapter of A Mixture of Frailties, the final novel of his Salterton Trilogy, there are reproduced several sections from a sermon, the Ida Bridgetower Memorial Sermon, in which the Reverend Jevon Knapp, Dean of St. Nicholas' Cathedral in Salterton, Ontario, broaches the subject of education.
		His remarks are interspersed with the descriptions of characters' thoughts and actions, almost as if they were the background of a motion picture soundtrack, the main body of them are given in three distinct sections, separated by passages of novelistic storytelling.
