NG: Did you know you can milk camels?
Me: Yes, they’re mammals so they have milk so you can milk them.
LM: So, does that mean you can milk dolphins?
Cue discussion of how you would get dolphins to stand, sorry, swim still, and how you would stop the milk floating away.
This was a fantastic idea I saw on Helena Pielichaty’s blog: make poems from the titles on book spines. The Stuff ‘n’ Things Club gave it a go at lunchtime. Here’s some of their work.

Pupils and staff from Our Lady’s were involved in the attempt to break the world record for the largest number of people writing a story. School libraries across the country took part on 6th February to celebrate National Libraries Day (which actually took place on Saturday 9th )
Each school were given the beginning of a story by author, Matt Haig, and could add two sentences to continue it. Mrs Johnston and Mrs McFall kindly acted as Witnesses, and 5th year pupils helped out as Stewards and tried to control the crowds that appeared in the LRC at lunchtime.
The 5th years registered each person taking part, then encouraged them to read the beginning of the story on the Smartboard, before queueing for their turn to write.
The story naturally makes absolutely no sense but does show that imaginations are alive and well at OLHS
As this is a record being attempted across the UK, we have to wait for everything to be checked and sorted by the lovely people at Guinness World Records before we know if we have any record breakers in our midst.

The Library Resource Centre and English Departments are moving into top gear for the 1st year Reading Trail, which will run until the Easter holidays.

In the vast and diverse world of anime, few series have left as indelible a mark as Neon Genesis Evangelion. Created by Hideaki Anno and first aired in 1995, this groundbreaking series is often considered a touchstone of the anime medium. It’s more than just a show; it’s a cultural phenomenon that redefined the mecha genre, challenged narrative conventions, and explored profound themes of existentialism and human nature.
The Birth of a New Mecha Era
One of the most striking aspects of Neon Genesis Evangelion is its deconstruction of the mecha genre. At the time of its release, mecha anime typically followed a formulaic pattern where heroic pilots piloted powerful robots to save the day. Evangelion took this formula and turned it on its head. Instead of glorifying the mechs, it portrayed them as terrifying and enigmatic entities known as Angels. The Eva units, piloted by emotionally scarred teenagers, were a far cry from the traditional heroes of the genre.
This subversion of expectations breathed new life into the mecha genre and gave birth to a wave of similar series that explored the psychological toll of piloting giant robots. Evangelion’s impact on the genre can be seen in subsequent works like RahXephon, Gurren Lagann, and more recently, Darling in the Franxx.
A Deep Dive into Human Psyche
Beyond its mecha deconstruction, Neon Genesis Evangelion delves into complex psychological and philosophical themes. It explores the fragile nature of the human psyche, trauma, and the search for identity and purpose. The characters, particularly protagonist Shinji Ikari, grapple with profound existential questions in a world teetering on the brink of destruction.
The series doesn’t shy away from showing the emotional and psychological struggles of its characters, often depicted through surreal and dreamlike sequences. These moments challenge viewers to reflect on their own experiences and the human condition.
An Enigmatic Ending
No discussion of Neon Genesis Evangelion is complete without mentioning its controversial and enigmatic ending. The final two episodes of the original TV series take a departure from the apocalyptic battles and plunge deep into the minds of the characters. The abstract and symbolic nature of these episodes left many viewers bewildered and divided.
Years later, the End of Evangelion movie provided an alternative conclusion, offering more closure to the story. Still, the original ending’s ambiguity has become a hallmark of the series, sparking endless debates and analysis among fans and scholars.
A Lasting Legacy
Neon Genesis Evangelion’s impact reaches far beyond the realm of anime. It has inspired countless adaptations, spin-offs, manga, movies, and video games. Its influence can be seen in works like Puella Magi Madoka Magica, which takes a darker look at the magical girl genre, and Serial Experiments Lain, which explores the intersection of technology and identity.
Moreover, Evangelion’s iconic imagery and memorable characters have made it a pop culture phenomenon. The Eva units, the mysterious Angels, and the conflicted pilots have become symbols of the anime medium itself.
In conclusion, Neon Genesis Evangelion is not just an anime; it’s a genre-defining masterpiece that continues to captivate and challenge audiences worldwide. Its legacy as a thought-provoking, psychologically complex, and visually stunning work of art is assured, ensuring that it will be discussed, dissected, and celebrated for generations to come.

DEBBIE’S SUMMER AWAKENING
Debbie Hall and her best friend Sarah James just graduated from eighth grade.
Debbie looks forward to enjoying her summer with Sarah and starting her new job at her parents’ burger joint. However, Sarah is more interested in searching for a boyfriend before beginning high school.
Misadventures happen at the lake, her job, and at the movies, including having a crush of her own. Debbie learns first-hand from Sarah just how cruel girls can be when boys enter the picture.
Will Debbie’s summer bring true love, true friendship, or both?
Debbie Hall studied the crowded cafeteria. Pop music thundered throughout the room. Several eighth-year graduating students gyrated to the beat blasting from the speakers. Some slumped in chairs with blank looks on their faces. Others leaned against and held up the walls, as Sarah James and she did.
This book is a must-read for any teen who has been tossed into the turbulent waters of dating while attempting to keep alive the close friendships of childhood. Not only will Debbie’s Summer Awakening resonate with every teenage girl, it might also give adolescent boys a bit of an edge up when it comes to the workings of the female mind.
—Bonnie Papenfuss, author of From the Window of God’s Waiting Room and From the Window of a Mid-Century Childhood
Debbie’s Summer Awakening takes me back to “the Good Old Days”, when we were innocent, and just becoming aware of boys. I think this will be a wholesome and enjoyable read for young girls — and boys– about to embark on this momentous journey.
—Nancy Strom, author of Scooter and Friends Take a Vacation
Coming of age can be such a confusing and painful experience. Like a butterfly breaking free from its cocoon, the process is necessary in order to become all we can be. We all dream of who we want to be, while learning to embrace who we are. This is a coming-of-age story where Debbie rejects the role she’s been assigned and learns she must define herself.
—Denise Turner, author of Straighten Your Crown (You’re the Daughter of a King)

Lewis Cohen was born in Liverpool, England, on December 23rd 1849, into an affluent family of Jewish merchants. With his parents Henry and Elizabeth he arrived in Sydney in 1851. His parents subsequently had twelve more children. Henry was an outfitter and businessman.
Education: Lewis returned to England in 1863, at the age of 14, to complete his education at the Jewish College at Edmonton, near London. Three years later, in 1866, he returned to Sydney.
Fiji: Lewis first worked in his father’s office. Henry then financed Lewis to enter a partnership with a school friend, Adolphus Meyer Brodziak, to go to Fiji to trade in cotton, copra, trepang and tortoise-shell.
In 1872 Lewis became a member of the first Fijian Legislative Council in Levuka. In 1976 my husband Keith and I saw in the Suva Museum in Fiji a photo of the young Lewis taken at that time.
Conflicting dates for Lewis’s time in Fiji.
The Dictionary of Biography says that Lewis returned to Australia in 1873.
The Cyclopedia of South Australia 1907-1909 says that Lewis Cohen went to Fiji in 1870 and returned to Australia in 1873.
The Adelaide newspaper “The South Australian” of July 8th 1926 states that he went to Fiji in 1866 and stayed there for 4 years, that is until 1870.
In the book “The Jews in Australia” Hilary Rubinstein says that Lewis’s brother Isaiah, who was known as Reginald, joined Lewis in Levuka, (Fiji), in 1874.
Lewis’s Obituary in an Adelaide newspaper says that he returned to Sydney from Fiji in 1873.
Marriage: Lewis married Selina Marks in Melbourne on 9thApril, 1873.
Details of the marriage of Lewis Cohen and Selina Marks from “The Jewish Victorian – Genealogical Information from the Jewish newspapers 1871 -1880″. (Transcribed and edited by Doreen Berger):
Marriage 9.4.1873 at the residence of the bride’s parents, by Rev. A.F.Ornistien, assisted by Rev. L.Goldstein, eldest son of Henry Cohen, Sydney, to Selina 5th daughter of Mark Marks, Victoria House, Albert St., East Melbourne.”
There exists a photo of Selina taken in Fiji. Therefore we can assume that either Selina visited Lewis in Fiji before their marriage (I am sure well chaperoned), or that Lewis returned to Australia in 1873, married Selina and she then went to Fiji as a young bride. If that is the case their first child, Henry, who was born in 1874, may have been born in Fiji.
Adelaide: In 1876 Lewis and Selina came to Adelaide to live. Lewis was an asthmatic and it was suggested to him that the climate of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, would be beneficial to him. So in 1876 Lewis and Selina and their two young children, Henry and Hannah, moved to Adelaide. Lewis was aged 27.
Business: He opened a branch of the Melbourne based London Loan and Discount Bank. In time he prospered, became a stockbroker and wealthy businessman of the young colony.
Member of Parliament: Lewis was a member of the South Australian House of Assembly for the seat of North Adelaide from 1887 to 1893 and from 1902 to 1906. He was a staunch protectionist and rejected the free trade policies of New South Wales.
Adelaide City Council: He was a member of the Adelaide City Council for 28 years between 1886 and 1927. He was Mayor 7 times and Lord Mayor from 1921 to 1923. A great defender of the parklands, he declared in one of his speeches “Hands off our Park Lands”. He was aware of the parklands being a unique feature of the city. Controversy about the use of the parklands still continues today.
In 1911 Lewis and Selina went to London to represent the City of Adelaide at the Coronation of King George V and Queen Mary. While in London Lewis initiated the campaign to have Adelaide granted a Lord Mayoralty. This finally took place in 1919.
Jewish Community Work: Both Lewis and Selina were active in the Jewish community in Adelaide. At different times Lewis was president and treasurer of the Adelaide Hebrew Congregation. For three years he was chairman of the Synagogue School. He defended ritual reforms inaugurated by the congregation. He was also interested in Liberal Judaism. He attended at least one Service at Temple Beth Israel in Melbourne. In “The Jews in Australia: volume 1 1788 to 1948″ the author, Hilary L. Rubinstein, says that Lewis Cohen was one of the Jewish community’s natural spokesmen “who rarely surrendered an opportunity to counter aspersions on (the Jewish) people”.
Other Interests: Other organisations in which Lewis Cohen was active were:-
Also from Morton “The Mayoral dinner was a grand affair held annually in the banqueting room at the Town Hall. Paid for by the mayor personally, this function had a restricted guest list, but for a while at least it included many if not most of the corporation’s staff. The one of July 1910 sponsored by munificent Mayor Cohen, ended with free front seats at Prince’s Pictures, the cinema company which then operated in the Town Hall on Saturday nights”.
When Lewis Cohen entertained privately it was with style. Dinner at the Cohen home at Barnard Street, North Adelaide, was a formal occasion. The butler and maid waiting at the table wore white gloves. However Lewis was not a large eater, and when he had finished eating the guests and family were presumed to have finished eating also. The meal was over!
The 9th April, 1933, was Lewis and Selina’s Diamond Wedding Anniversary. Invitations were sent out for a Dinner at 1pm at the Pier Hotel, Glenelg, to celebrate this occasion. At the age of 83 Lewis still desired to entertain on a grand scale. Unfortunately the function had to be cancelled due to his failing health.
Lewis the Man: Lewis was a handsome man, not tall, always well dressed, and maybe rather vain. A large painting of him hangs in the Council Chamber of the Adelaide Town Hall. The artist was A. McCormac. The painting was presented to the council in 1891. The face area was re-painted in 1904 by George Webb. Family evidence suggests that this was done because Lewis considered the original did not do him justice.
Selina’s beautiful gowns were usually written up in the social pages of the Adelaide newspapers, and Lewis often assisted Selina in the choice of her dresses. Lewis was very conscious of the public image of himself and his family. As well as the obvious very human reasons for this there was no doubt another reason – he was a Jew in a Gentile society. In “After Light” Peter Morton writes “To the end Cohen remained a stickler for the civic dignity. He was not an arrogant or a pompous man, but he was the purest form of romantic tory. Like his co-religionist Benjamin Disraeli, he had that concern with the trapppings of office often characteristic of those who, deep down, feel themselves outsiders”.
Knighthood: Lewis Cohen was knighted in 1924.
Death: He died at his Colley Terrace, Glenelg, home on Saturday 24th June, 1933. Selina died three months later. Sir Lewis Cohen Avenue, which runs north -south between South Terrace and Greenhill road, was named in his honour before he was knighted. After he received his knighthood the name was changed from Lewis Cohen Avenue to Sir Lewis Cohen Avenue.
Lewis and Selina had 6 children.

Congratulations the following students for being nominated for a High Five during the month of May.
High Five to Kyle Padeni for partnering up with a fellow student on several occasions during Physical Education class. He assisted his classmate by making sure they had the proper equipment and worked with him on his technique in several different activities. Kyle's efforts led to success for both students.
High Fives to Kyra and Shannon Prouty and Jackie and Annalise Robidoux. During a biology class, the sisters teamed up as Kyra interviewed Shannon about her job at the hospital and Jackie interviewed her sister Annalist about her research at UMASS. These presentations allowed for fellow classmates to see what opportunities are available to them right down the street from LHS.
High Five to Jaymi Souza for hosting and moderating two town-wide political debates. On May 12th she moderated the Selectmen's candidates' night, and the following Thursday on the 19th she did the same with the School Committee candidates' night. On both occasions she performed flawlessly in front of not just the folks in the audience, but those watching on LCAC as well. Great job Jaymi!
And a High Five to the newly elected officers of NHS. Elected for less than two weeks, they have already attended the Junior National Honor Society Induction to support younger students, volunteered at the Senior Center helping senior citizens with their cell phones, and met to plan next year's calendar of events. They have stepped it up and shown their advisors what amazing students they are. Thanks to all who volunteered!


Marshall Breeding has published the report of his Perceptions 2010 survey in which libraris report their satisfaction with their ILS and their ILS vendor. Of note, ByWater Solutions is rocking!
"ByWater Solutions did the best in the company loyalty department, placed third for ILS satisfaction, support satisfaction, and company satisfaction. ByWater Solutions provides support services for the Koha open source ILS."
Other open source products and service providers also did well including OPALS, an open source ILS created and supported by MediaFlex. OPALS ranked higher than Koha in ILS satisfaction and MediaFlex also earned top rankings in support satisfaction. OPALS is used in K-12 libraries.
Breeding reported "fairly low levels of interest in migrating to an open source ILS, even when the company rates their satisfaction with their current proprietary ILS and its company as poor." He noted that most libraries running a proprietary ILS did not express interest in moving to an open source ILS ; however, "a substantial portion of libraries that registered some interest in moving to a new ILS named open source products among the replacement candidates.
To editorialize....I find that libraries that don't take the time to learn what open source software really is say they aren't 'interested' in an open source ILS. Many of them have assumptions that are inaccurate. These misperceptions are at least partly fueled by their vendors ....<cough>Stephen Abrams<cough> ..... and the wider world of proprietary software companies.
As more and more highly satisfied libraries turn up in these rankings and more and more large systems like KCLS make the move, these perceptions will change. Even with their hands over their eyes, libraries will start to hear and feel the rumble of change.
Here's the full report:


The Transition Handbook now in Chile Contact us today to order.
This powerful new book by permaculture leader Rob Hopkins is described as a story from the front lines of the rapidly growing Transition Towns wave sweeping the planet, awaking communities to address Peak Oil and Climate Change. This book explains the issues, strategies and tools used to mobilise people to action without the support of central government or big business. This is a very useful guide for permaculture activists everywhere who are taking action in the their local communities.
"The Transition Towns process is one of the most exciting outcomes of permaculture thinking and action in the world today."—David Holmgren co-originator of the permaculture concept
"If your town is not yet a Transition Town, here is guidance for making it one. We have little time, and much to accomplish."—Richard Heinberg author of Peak Everything
“This is much more than just a book. It is a manual for a movement. And not just any movement, but one which – in avoiding the civilisational collapse threatened by the twin crises of peak oil and climate change – could prove to be the most important social force humanity has ever seen.”—Mark Lynas, author of Six Degrees
We live in an oil-dependent world, and have got to this level of dependency in a very short space of time, using vast reserves of oil in the process – without thinking ahead to plan for when the supply is not so plentiful. Most of us avoid thinking about what happens when oil runs out (or becomes prohibitively expensive), but The Transition Handbook shows how the inevitable and profound changes ahead can have a positive outcome. These changes can lead to the rebirth of local communities, which will grow more of their own food, generate their own power, and build their own houses using local materials. They can also encourage the development of local currencies, keeping money in the local area.

I provide in-person or virtual one-hour to full day workshops on diverse ELA topics. I offer week-long courses that I have presented at institutes across the United States.
Here are some recent examples.
1. In 2020, I published "I Hear You: Teaching Social Justice in Interactive Read-Aloud" (Language Arts journal). In the article, I show the planning worksheet, give detailed examples of implementation and extension activities with children, and implications for teaching and learning. It's a deeply practical article. In fact, I included two 3rd grade teachers who implemented this work in their classroom settings as co-authors. After reading the article, I invite schools or teams of K-8 teachers to join me for a one and a half hour Zoom workshop. In the workshop, I show participants: 1. how to choose outstanding children's books for social justice topics and themes; 2. how to plan an interactive read-aloud to open up challenging discussions; 3. how to plan meaningful extension activities; 4. how to invite and open up interactive discussion; 5. how to assess children's learning. Participants leave the workshop with practical next steps to explore social justice topics and themes with their students to work towards repairing the world.
2. In 1990, Prof. Rudine Sims Bishop of Ohio State University coined the phrase "windows, mirrors, and sliding doors" as metaphors for children's books that teachers should make accessible to children in classrooms. In books that are mirrors, children need to see themselves reflected based on who is centered, celebrated, and whose perspectives are heard. In books that are windows, children need to see into the lives of protagonists with heritages and cultural practices distinct from their own. And in books that are sliding doors, children need to be able to make deep personal connections that expand and even transform their identities. In this one and a half hour Zoom workshop, I invite schools or teams of K-8 educators to join me to explore windows, mirrors, and sliding doors for their school contexts. In the workshop, participants will explore: (a) where to find outstanding children's literature for their school contexts; (b) why having this balance of books in their classroom libraries matters; (c) what kinds of books might count for them as "windows, mirrors, and sliding doors" (d) a checklist to assess the balance of books in their classrooms; (e) a critical exploration of a common book for children to realize "who might feel included" and "who might feel excluded" in this book. Participants will leave the workshop with a much stronger awareness of how to be deliberate in the books they provide their students to develop their literate lives.
3. In a full-day workshop, I guide teacher participants in creative uses of the reader response notebook (based in my book) to develop deep comprehension of texts. Teachers learn: (a) an expansive understanding of texts, valuing home-school connections and popular culture texts; (b) the value of keeping ongoing lists to build literate lives; (c) how to make drawing tools and design part of students' reader responses; (d) how to guide students to be generative with their reading response ideas; (e) how to create a sociocultural learning environment for students' notebook responses; (f) ideas for formative and summative assessments, students' self-assessments, and using the notebook as a source for reading conferences. In this highly interactive workshop, teachers learn by trying reader response strategies. Teachers leave the workshop feeling inspired, with new, practical ideas that reinvigorate the RRN for their students.

|Electrophoretic deposition of chitosan films doped with Nd2Ti2O7 nanoparticles as protective coatings against corrosion in saline solutions|
NESTOR STARLIN FLORES GARCIA

|In this study, the electrophoretic deposition of chitosan films doped with Nd2Ti2O7 nanoparticles was carried out as corrosion protection systems for exposed materials in aqueous environments rich in chlorides. Completely crystalline Nd2Ti2O7 nanoparticles with an average size of 100-200 nm were obtained. Electrophoretic deposition of chitosan films with Nd2Ti2O7 nanoparticles was possible. With a working voltage of 5 V and 20 minutes of deposition, homogenous chitosan films with a thickness of 4 microns were obtained. According to the FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), Raman, and XRD (X-ray diffraction) analyses, it was observed that the presence of the nanoparticles modified the properties of the chitosan films, that is, their crystallinity was increased and their moisture absorption capacity was reduced. These modifications caused a better performance against the corrosion of chitosan films deposited on 1018 carbon steel. Its electrochemical evaluation showed that the chitosan films perform as cathodic coatings by affecting the oxygen reduction reaction. This was possible due to the barrier effect of the Nd2Ti2O7 nanoparticles, by blocking the effective area for the diffusion of the aggressive electrolyte species.|

Are there any Native American Reservations in California?
Exploring the History and Culture of Native American Reservations in CaliforniaCalifornia is home to a diverse population of Native American tribes, many of which still live on reservations throughout the state. In total, there are 109 federally recognized Indian reservations in California, with a total population of over 500,000 people. These reservations are home to the state’s largest Native American population and serve as a reminder of the long and complicated history of Native Americans in California.
The history of these reservations is complex and often fraught with hardship and struggle. Native Americans in California were forced off their ancestral lands and onto reservations in the 19th century as the United States government sought to take control of the land. This was done through a series of treaties and executive orders, often with little regard for the rights of Native Americans.
Today, many of the reservations in California are home to thriving communities that have been able to preserve their unique culture and traditions despite centuries of oppression. These reservations are often places of refuge where Native Americans can practice their traditional customs and beliefs while also having access to modern amenities.
The Native American reservations in California are also important sites of cultural preservation. Many of the reservations are home to museums and cultural centers that showcase the history and traditions of the various Native American tribes in the state. These sites serve as vital resources for learning about the culture and history of Native Americans in California, and offer visitors a unique opportunity to explore and appreciate the rich cultural heritage of the state’s Native American population.
Native American reservations in California are important places of cultural exchange and learning. They offer a unique insight into the culture and history of Native Americans in the state, and provide a space for members of the Native American community to practice and preserve their traditions. By exploring the history and culture of these reservations, we can gain a greater understanding of the struggles and challenges that Native Americans have faced in California, and appreciate the resilience and strength of their communities.
Exploring the Benefits of Living on a Native American Reservation in CaliforniaLiving on a Native American reservation in California offers many benefits to its residents. There is a sense of community and connection to the land that is not found in other parts of the state. The land itself is often beautiful, filled with rolling hills, majestic mountains, and breathtaking views. Residents have the opportunity to experience a unique culture that many people do not know much about, which is often filled with rich traditions and history.
In addition to the cultural and environmental benefits, living on a Native American reservation in California has some economic advantages. Many reservations have their own businesses, such as casinos, which can provide jobs for residents. These businesses can also bring in money that can be used to improve the community.
The quality of life is also improved when living on a Native American reservation in California. Reservations often have their own health care systems, schools, and other services that can benefit those who live there. Additionally, there are often programs and resources available to help individuals and families in need.
Overall, living on a Native American reservation in California can be a great way to experience the culture and land of the area while also having access to resources and services that can improve the quality of life. For those looking to connect with the culture and land in California, living on a Native American reservation can be a great option.
Exploring the Challenges Faced by Native American Reservations in CaliforniaThe Native American reservations in California are some of the most unique and diverse parts of the state. From the Northern Pacific Coast to the desert regions, there are a variety of cultures and ways of life that have been preserved in these areas. Unfortunately, the Native American reservations of California face many of the same challenges that other reservations in the United States face. These challenges include poverty, limited access to healthcare, inadequate housing, and lack of access to educational opportunities.
Many of the reservations in California were established in the 1800s by the federal government, and over the years they have become some of the most economically deprived areas in the state. Poverty is a major issue on Native American reservations, and many families are unable to provide basic necessities for their families. This is particularly true for those living in remote areas, where access to food, water, and medical care is limited.
In addition, many of these reservations have limited access to healthcare. Many of the reservations are located in rural areas, and there is often a lack of healthcare facilities and providers. This makes it difficult for many Native Americans to get the medical care they need. Moreover, many of the reservations are isolated, making it difficult for families to access educational resources and other opportunities.
Finally, there is an issue with inadequate housing on many of the reservations. Many of the buildings on the reservations are outdated and need repairs, but funding is often limited. This lack of available housing can lead to overcrowding and further contribute to poverty.
Despite these challenges, many of the Native American reservations in California are still thriving. There are a variety of cultural activities and celebrations that take place throughout the state, and many of the reservations have made great strides in improving the quality of life for their citizens. With continued support and investment, the Native American reservations of California can continue to be a source of pride for the state.
Exploring the Opportunities Available to Native American Reservations in CaliforniaCalifornia is home to more than 100 Native American reservations, with many of them offering unique opportunities for the indigenous people of the region. These reservations provide a safe haven for the Native Americans to practice their culture, language, and traditions while living in harmony with the rest of the state.
The state of California has numerous programs and services dedicated to the preservation of the cultural heritage of its Native American communities. Native American reservations are provided with access to education, health services, employment assistance, housing assistance, and other services that are designed to empower Native Americans living in the state.
Many of the reservations also offer a variety of recreational activities, including hunting, fishing, and camping. Some of the reservations even have their own casinos, which provide the communities with additional sources of income.
In addition to the recreational opportunities, Native American reservations often provide a unique opportunity for cultural exchange and learning. California's Native American reservations are home to a variety of cultural and educational events, from traditional music, arts, and dance performances to language classes and cultural workshops.
Native American reservations are also a great place to explore the history and culture of California’s indigenous people. Visitors to these reservations can learn about the tribes that lived in the region before European contact and the struggles of these communities to maintain their culture and traditions.
For those looking for a unique and meaningful way to experience California’s rich history and culture, visiting one of the many Native American reservations in the state is a great way to do so. Whether it’s a day trip or an extended stay, the opportunities available on these reservations are sure to provide a memorable and enriching experience.
Exploring the Impact of Native American Reservations on California’s EconomyNative American reservations in California are an important part of the state's economy. These reservations are home to many of the Native American tribes that have been living in the area for centuries. These tribes have long been an integral part of California's history, culture and economy.
Native American reservations in California have had a major impact on the state's economy. For example, some of the major industries in the state, such as agriculture, forestry, and tourism, are largely dependent on the presence of these reservations. In addition, many of the goods and services produced by these tribes are sold in the state's economy. This helps to create jobs and stimulate economic activity.
Native American reservations in California also help to attract visitors from around the world. This is because many of the tribes in the area are renowned for their unique traditions and culture. In addition, visitors are often drawn to the beautiful scenery and natural beauty of the region. This helps to stimulate the tourism industry and generate revenue for the state.
Finally, Native American reservations in California also provide a place for people to connect with their cultural heritage. Through these reservations, people are able to learn about their ancestors and their history. This helps to foster a greater appreciation and understanding of the state's rich cultural heritage.
Overall, Native American reservations in California have had a major impact on the state's economy. They have helped to create jobs, attract tourists, and provide a place for people to connect with their cultural heritage. These reservations are an important part of California's history and should be celebrated and respected.

-Ryan B. (2016)


Originally published on Goodreads.
With several hours to kill before an appointment, I decided to pop inside a bookstore to pick up something “short but old.” In pursuit of this end, I solicited the aid of the shop lady, one of those former English majors who’ve evidently forgotten everything they might have once learned in university. Following several false starts (“Sorry, ma’am, but I’ve already read both Animal Farm and The Metamorphosis“), she pulled a slender book from the shelf, saying as she did so: “I can’t remember if I read this in school, but I think people view it as important for feminism or something.”
Trying my best to ignore the garish cover design, which suggested some sort of third-rate historical romance novel, I consented to buy it.
Before this incident, I had not heard of either The Awakening or Kate Chopin; and as I read through some of the short stories and vignettes that pad out this volume, I began to fear that her recent revaluation by critics had been more the result of patriarchal-related guilt than literary merit. Granted, tales like “Beyond the Bayou” and “Désirée’s Baby” displayed a subtle knack for characterization and an admirable economy of prose. But as exquisitely crafted as they might be, these pieces nonetheless struck me as mere sketches, as études rather than sonatas.
The Awakening, however, boasts all of the strengths of Chopin’s shorter fiction, but without the flaws. First published in 1899 and originally (and more forcefully) titled A Solitary Soul, the novel follows the travails of a certain Edna Pontellier, a young New Orleans woman who grows disillusioned with her hollow yet perfect-on-paper existence. Married to a wealthy Louisiana businessman, Edna already feels alienated from the tight-knit, rambunctious and casually sensual Creole community in which she lives. Yet her feelings of isolation and discontent become amplified when she garners the attention of a young Creole man named Robert Lebrun, an attraction which, to Edna’s simultaneous joy and despair, turns out to be mutual.
Critic Marilynne Robinson, in her largely astute introduction, explains how many readers have taken the book to be a wholesale endorsement of the liberation of femininity from its patriarchal prison. But such an interpretation obscures the full extent of Chopin’s genius. For The Awakening doesn’t simply pit one half of a dichotomy against the another; rather, the novel teases out tensions and contradictions inherent to the notions of femininity, family and love. What is a woman’s obligation to her children? What is the relation between love and duty? Like any other great novelist, Chopin shows herself to be far more interested in asking questions than in generating any definite answers.
Sadly, The Awakening represents both Chopin’s first and final excursion into the art of novel writing: in the face of a vicious critical backlash, the talented author opted to leave the business entirely. One hundred years later, the least we can do is give her magnum opus the attention it deserves.

A Brief History of Chaska
by Lisa Oberski, Tracy D. Swanson and LaVonne Barac
With the preservation of its unique name, Chaska reflects its commitment to its oldest recorded history, the history of a community in the land of the Dakota: “Chaska” is a Dakota word referring to the “first-born son” in a Dakota family.
But Chaska’s cultural history dates back much further than the Dakota. Evidence of the first residents of Chaska can be found in what is now City Square Park. The three burial mounds located there date back 1000-1500 years to the Mid-Woodland period Natives. Originally three of six mounds that formed a circle, the remaining mounds are cordoned off during city celebrations held in the park as a means of showing respect for the Indigenous People of Chaska, the first people of Chaska.
In 1776, European explorer Jonathan Carver began to map the area along the Minnesota River. At the time, the Dakota moved between their summer camp by the river and winters spent in the Big Woods in northern Chaska. Seventy-five years later, as new territory opened for settlement in Minnesota in 1851 with the signing of the Treaty of Traverse des Sioux by the Dakota, sites along the Minnesota River were staked out for future communities. While some never developed, others such as Chaska thrived.
It was in 1851 that an easterner named Thomas Andrew Holmes traveled up the Minnesota River where a 20-acre clearing in the Big Woods attracted his attention. He claimed it as the Chaska town site. It operated as a township until 1871 when it became a village. Twenty years later, in 1891, the village of Chaska became a city.

There once was a girl. She was young, and still had a lot to learn from God, her family, and the world. The girl was unhappy. She had been taught from a young age what was right. But she was head strong and arrogant. She thought she knew what was better, however her ways brought her unhappiness and lonliness. Her parents spoke of an easier way, a way paved before her by a man named Jesus Christ. The girl scoffed. She knew only of this man. She had yet to know him.
In her early teenage years the girl became very sick. It was a time of darkness, and the girl longed for the darkness to be replaced with light. But she was lost and didn't know how to find her way through her abyss. Eventually, her illness placed her in the hospital. It was a time of uncertianty; a time of distress; a time of fear. The girl looked and looked for relief, yet found none. Time passed. The illness raged on, and the girl's hope began to fade. She was in and out of the hospital, and various treatment programs, different medications and procedures. Yet it still seemed as if nothing could be done.
The girl took another trip to the hospital. As she was packing to leave, somthing inside of her told her to take a copy of a book. She had tried to read the book before, but it had done very little for her. The book had always been a part of her life, and had often times caused her frustration and resentment. But for whatever reason, the girl grabbed a copy of the book, and put it in her bag with little or no intention of actually reading it.
The stay in the hospital was long and lonely for the girl. One night without really thinking about it, she pulled the book out of her bag. She began to read.
"And the people of Ammon departed out of the land of Jershon, and came over into the land of Melek, and gave place in the land of Jerson for the armies of the Nephites...And Alma and Ammon, and their bretheren, and also the two sons of Alma returned to the land of Zarahemla, after having been instruments in the hands of God of bringing many of the Zoramites to repentance...Therefore I command you, my son Helaman, that ye be diligent in fulfilling all my words, and that ye be dilligent in keeping the commandments of God as they are written...And now my son, I have told you this that ye may learn wisdom, that ye may learn of me that there is no other way or means whereby man can be saved, only in and through Christ..."
For the first time in a long time, the girl began to feel something different than the darkness that had consumed her. It was warm; it was good; it was full; it was hope. The girl didn't understand everything that she read. She didn't know who Alma was. She didn't know where Zaramela was, or who this son was they were talking about. What the girl did know was that the book, The Book of Mormon, had changed her heart a little bit. She grabbed a highlighter, and began to mark everything she read that made her feel good. She read and she read, and by the time she was tired, she had eight pages of solid yellow.
That night changed the girl. She couldn't explain why, or how but it had an impact on the rest of her life. More time passed. The girl began to recover, and looking back on her life she would recognize now what she failed to realize then. Her physical health improved drastically as her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ grew. This revelation would continue to amaze the girl.
A few years after that night in the hospital the girl finished reading the Book of Mormon. She wanted to pray to get her answer that it was true. One day, she was alone at home, and knelt down in her living room and began to talk to the Lord. She told him that she knew that the Book of Mormon was true, and asked for a witness from the Holy Ghost. She waited. Nothing came. She waited a little longer. Still, nothing changed. This bothered the girl. Often times she would think to herself, "I know the Book of Mormon is true. Why can I not feel an answer?" But the girl continued to press forward in her newly developed faith in Christ, and the transformation of her life continued.
The girl never missed a day of reading in her scriptures. She clung to the word of God, and tried to live by its teachings. She grew up, moved away from home, and started college. She thought back with gratitude on those dark days of her youth, because they had led her to her savior. One night, after a long day of studying for psychology, biology, and Math 108, the girl knelt down to say her prayers. The memory of the day she had knelt down in her living room came into her mind. Still a little discouraged from her lack of answer, she prayed again. Suddenly a new thought came to her mind. The reason she never got a definitive answer that day so long ago was because she already knew the Book of Mormon was true. Peace, light, and warmth filled her soul. She knew that this feeling came from God, and that she had gotten her answer. The girl continued to press forward in her strengthened faith in Christ.
The girl chose to serve a mission, and is currently serving in Red Lodge, Montana. She loves the Lord. She loves her mission. She knows that Christ's church has been restored. Jesus Christ saved her life.
The Book of Mormon changed my life. It can changes yours as well.


Children Learning Reading Program Review 2021: Is It Worth It?
This Children learning reading program has been making a lot of buzzes lately. The concept is simple. This is to teach kids the alphabet and phonics while they are learning how to read, but with a twist.
Reading is an important skill that every individual should learn as a child. Not only does it help them in their studies, but their social and emotional development will also improve if they have good reading comprehension skills. Since there are many parents who want to teach their children the art of reading. This article is written to provide a Complete information guide and Children Learning Reading Reviews.
The system uses an old children’s story called “Big Digits,” which teaches kids about counting to 100. Each page has the character named Big Digit who tells his own tale about what he does each week. For example, one week he counts 50 apples that fall off of a tree, then uses them in all sorts of fun ways (such as cooking them for a while).
As part of this program, there is also a CD that goes along with it, which helps tell Big Digit’s story and loops the background music used throughout the book. There is also a CD with songs that reinforce the alphabet and phonics.
What is Inside Children Learning Program?
The book itself begins by teaching kids about the alphabet. Each page has a different letter of the alphabet, and Big Digits writes something on each one (to give students some context). For example, on A he writes “apple,” B gets him to sing a song about being brave, C becomes an alligator who counts coconuts in his tree, etc.
Along with each letter there is then a short story using that letter’s shape accompanied by very nice pictures which tell the tale of Big Digits learning about what it means to be like that object. This stories start off rather simple at first, but by page 20 (and a bit), the stories have become fairly complicated, and take several pages to tell.
Different Useful Sections
The next section of the book is about phonics. The first story has Digits learning his alphabet in school while he plays on the playground with friends. He later uses what he learned to teach his friends how to read as well. This part introduces basic phonemes including digraphs, blends, and silent letters. After each letter / grouping of letters there is then a little “game” which both reinforces their new knowledge and also helps them get used to reading words with those sounds/groups of sounds in it.
As an example, under B comes “B duck bibbity boo.” The children are instructed to find a picture of a bibbity-boo (baby duck). Underneath the baby duck picture reads “B for bibbity boo.” This is great!
The next section introduces basic words. It starts with a short poem about what kinds of things begin with each letter. Then there are two pages that show phonograms used in real words and then examples of real words using those phonograms. For example, under B we see: “Cap (hat) Oats Pop Tab(s).”
The next page contains mini stories that introduce basic syntax and grammar. The stories are about the tortoise and the hare, Weensy Spider, the three little pigs, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. There is also a story about a dog who sticks his nose in every nook and cranny. Here’s a fun passage from Weensy Spider.
How is Children Learning Reading Program beneficial For children?
Children Learning Reading has lots of things to make it appealing for children. There are loads of illustrations. Children can learn by memorization or repetition of the words as they read through the book.
