Exhibit to focus on women's history
As part of a month-long celebration of women's history, the University of Memphis Libraries, the Department of English, the Department of History and the Center for Research on Women will be sponsoring a two-hour showcase of writings and performances from women authors, artists and activists from the 1960s. The show will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on March 18 in the McWherter Library rotunda.
The show is tied into an ongoing exhibit, "The Civil Rights Act of 1964: How Far Have We Come?" The exhibit will be on display on the first and fourth floors of the McWherter Library until June 15.
The event will feature the works of several important women of the 1960s, such as writer, educator and the first African-American congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, author of "A Raisin in the Sun" Lorraine Hansberry and the late women's rights activist Betty Friedan.
Also on the playbill is a tribute to Maxine Smith, one of Memphis' most important civil rights activists and one of the organizers of the desegregation of Memphis schools in 1962. Smith famously escorted the first thirteen African-American students to a newly desegregated school. The final list of performances is still being finalized, but performing in the event will be undergraduate and graduate students from across disciplines.
Since 1982, the Center for Research on Women has been studying the role of women in society, in the South and of color.
Jennifer Schnabel, assistant professor and assistant to the Dean for Community Engagement, is helping organize the event. She hopes that attendees will be inspired to learn more about the women being featured in the show.
"We think its important to highlight the work of interesting women of the 1960s, and we want to host it in the library to encourage attendees to explore additional resources about these women," Schnabel said.
Dr. Lydia Sagrestano, director of the Center for Research on Women, explained how the show would honor a wide variety of activists.
"It is an opportunity to bring together our celebration of Black History Month and our celebration of Women's History Month into an event that honors women of the 1960s," Sagrestano said.

I attended another workshop with Sandi Sexton at the weekend. She really is a lovely lady and a fabulous teacher.
This time round we made 2 books. The first using the japanese stitch technique.
I made this book with a beautiful marbled front and a coordinating back and ribbon, which really did look good enough to eat. Its approximately 11 x 15cm in size to give you an idea of scale. I can't wait to make more books using this technique.
The second book we made was an accordian style book - I used this fabulous designer paper for the cover and a heavy textured paper for the inside to give it strength. The finished book is approx 8 x 12 cm
Finally, I was so energised and inspired after the workshop I picked up some gorgeous handmade chinese paper on the way home and made this little accordian book. Only 6 x 8 cm.

Katihar to Kennedy is an autobiographical account of Sanjay Kumar’s life as a small-town boy who starts his journey from Katihar in Bihar, one of India’s economically backward districts and how he reaches the Harvard Kennedy School in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The book aims to depict the inner conflicts of a man and his continuous efforts to overcome all the difficulties in his path while fighting with his inner shortcomings.
Sanjay Kumar, the author, discussed his own experiences that motivated him to write this book. Kumar, who currently serves as the India Country Director of The Lakshmi Mittal and Family South Asia Institute, Harvard University and was involved in leadership positions with SEWA Movement for about two decades further said “what one can take away from the book is how as a society we can help to stop further deterioration of public institutions and education system.”
Pavan K Varma, diplomat and author said that the book is inspirational because of the extraordinary courage and resilience it showed in Kumar as a person. Noted screenwriter and author, Advaita Kala, while congratulating the author and stating that the book was really about hope, drew parallels with her own state of Uttarakhand where there aren’t enough teachers and those that are there, never come to school due to tough socio-economic and infrastructural challenges. Shashi Banerjee, principal of Shiv Nadar School shared that the book is like a commentary on education system and on how it should be.

Welcome to the Call of Sedona
Sedona’s natural beauty lures millions of visitors every year.
You’ve probably heard of Sedona, Arizona. Like Machu Picchu in Peru, it has become an iconic place of inspiration and adventure, characterized by a landscape imbued with a mysterious spiritual power. In fact, this extraordinary quality draws millions of people every year to Sedona, a small town in the high desert of Arizona.
Surrounded by the expansive vistas of red rocks under a bright blue sky, hugged by the warmth of the friendly sun, and refreshed by the clear, dry air, it’s easy to feel inspired and awed on this land. But beneath Sedona’s obvious wonder is an even deeper, more precious quality.
Ilchi Lee recognized Sedona’s magical qualities on his first visit.
And that’s exactly what Ilchi Lee, a renowned meditation teacher, realized on his first visit to Sedona. He recognized right away that Sedona had magical qualities that paralleled or exceeded its natural attractions.
During his sixteen years of living in Sedona, Ilchi Lee has experienced how the rocks, trees, and water call to each person who stands among them. They send messages to your heart—messages to which your heart naturally wants to respond. Sedona brings out the best and the deepest within you. He calls this ability the Sedona spirit. However, if you want to catch that spirit and receive Sedona’s messages, you need to be open to it.
The Call of Sedona shares a soulful experience on the blessed land
Ilchi Lee wrote a book, The Call of Sedona: Journey of the Heart, believing that, while not everyone can afford the journey to Sedona, all deserve the same opportunities for the awakening of the spirit that Sedona instills.
In this book, he walks you through opening your heart to the Sedona spirit in the most powerful places in and around Sedona. You will delight in the remarkable awakenings and heart-expanding inspirations he experienced in this blessed land. The book also provides a range of advice on meditation and spirituality that will benefit anyone, anywhere—without taking even one step on its famed red rock soil.
A magical story behind the book
In fall 2011, a small independent company in Sedona, Arizona published the first edition of The Call of Sedona. Thanks to Ilchi Lee’s national book tour and online buzz, the book attained such popularity that, amazingly, it made the New York Times bestseller list as well as the USA Today, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times bestseller lists. But the book’s distribution was still limited.
Then something magical happened when Susan Moldow, Executive Vice President and Publisher of Scribner, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, swung by Sedona on her way to the Grand Canyon and discovered The Call of Sedona. It was destiny, and Sedona ultimately provided a powerful platform for the book that illumined its profoundly unique qualities. Scribner republished Ilchi Lee’s book in July 2012, and now The Call of Sedona: Journey of the Heart, is not only touching thousands of hearts around the world but also bringing many inspired readers to this magical land.
See what others have to say about The Call of Sedona
The Call of Sedona is not nearly so much about a place as it is about a place of Being; not only about a location on the map of the world, but a location on the map of the mind. Recognizing that this unique city in America holds both a Message and a Metaphor for those in search of greater meaning and purpose in life, Ilchi Lee has produced a book filled with remarkable wisdom inspired in a remarkable setting. Not to be missed.
– Neale Donald Walsch, Author of Conversations with God series
I have been to Sedona only once. I was so struck by the power and magic of this land—and I remember thinking, ‘This place is a cathedral in which to worship.’ Let The Call of Sedona bring this holy earth energy right into your heart.
– Christiane Northrup, M.D., Author of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom
From the first few pages of this beautiful book, I began to experience immense feelings of love. I felt as though Sedona was reaching out and loving me. I’ve never experienced such a visceral heart opening from a book before.
– Barbara J. Semple, author of Instant Healing
“The essence of the message that Sedona has conveyed to me is that inside each one of us there is a much greater and more beautiful truth and dream than the ordinary ones we know. And that we already have everything we need to achieve them.”, says Ilchi Lee in The Call of Sedona.
Since The Call of Sedona has gone viral, something amazing happened.
Today, Sedona’s special charisma draws people from all over the world—people who are seeking something but are sometimes not even sure of what it is they seek. And their stories have become legends in the land. Life changing experiences are so common that word has spread and keeps spreading—people keep coming back and new seekers continue to arrive.
Since The Call of Sedona has gone viral, something amazing has happened. Many inspired readers of the book have also started coming to Sedona from all over the world to experience the spirit of Sedona firsthand and have asked for Ilchi Lee’s assistance. As he travels abroad and is not always available, some teachers who were trained by Ilchi Lee started helping people with retreats and workshops based on the philosophy of the book.
We’d love to see Sedona’s magic happen for you.
“It is always our dreams that lend meaning and value to our daily life. If you need a dream, or if you need to rediscover a dream you’ve lost, come here to Sedona,” writes Ilchi Lee in The Call of Sedona. Indeed, Sedona is a place to lift our spirits and awaken to the deeper knowledge within.
We’ve seen so many people find a renewed sense of purpose through life-transforming experiences here in Sedona—and we would love to see it happen for you. With the great assistance of Sedona’s inspiring beauty, we are happy to introduce retreats and workshops that facilitate your soulful Sedona experience.

The Carroll and Madison
Public Library Foundation
Most library foundations support one library. We’re a little different. We support six - six rural libraries, each with different demographics, different budgets, and different needs. Our goal is to be a foundation, a solid financial base so that our six libraries, our communities, our thousands of patrons young and old, will always have free and public access to information. That, after all, is the fundamental and defining purpose of any public library.
Our primary goal is simple: to ensure the long-term financial stability of the Carroll and Madison Library System, its administrative office and the six libraries within its two-county service area. It pursues this goal by encouraging financial support from you, our patrons and our neighbors. Whether you’re an individual, a family, a business, or a corporation, your gift will make a difference. It may help build a networked website for all six libraries so that all our patrons have access to our libraries, or it may help build a bicycle rack for our all-important after-school and Saturday morning patrons. Either way, large or small, your gift will help any one or all of our libraries, our kids, and our communities.


Another interesting story of County Mayo…
Grace O’Malley (also called Granuaile) was a famous pirate, seafarer, trader and chieftain in Ireland in the 1500’s. She was born in 1530 in County Mayo, Ireland and was the daughter of sea captain Owen O’Malley. As a young child, Grace always knew she wanted to be a sailor but as a female, she was discouraged repeatedly. Her family had become wealthy mainly through fishing and trade, but in her later life, Grace took up piracy by taking on Turkish and Spanish pirate ships and even the English fleets. She grew her estate to include a fleet of ships as well as several islands and castles on the west coast of Ireland.
In her later years, Grace developed her reputation as a fearless leader through her efforts in battle along side her followers. Legend has it that Grace gave birth to one of her sons while out to sea. The very next day following the birth of the baby, the ship was attacked by Turkish pirates. Though exhausted from giving birth Grace grabbed a gun, went on deck and proceeded to rally her men against the Turks, forcing their retreat.
Grace married two times in her life. Her first husband was Donal O’Flaherty who was the son of the chieftain of the O’Flaherty clan and next in line for the post as chieftain. Grace and Donal married when she was about 16 years old. In those times, it was common for families to arrange marriages so the union between Grace and Donal was probably more political than emotional at first. Later in life, Grace visited Queen Elizabeth to make peace and ask for the release of her brother and son. Events leading up to the meeting between Grace and Queen Elizabeth had a significant impact on the meeting itself and Grace’s behavior afterward.
Over Grace’s lifetime, the English had taken over much of Ireland a piece at a time through a process called “Submit and Regrant.” The English would convince (or force) Clan leaders to submit their lands to the English and in return they were given an English title. Some Chieftains surrendered, many rebelled– Grace among the rebellious. She maintained her independence longer than most of the rest of Ireland, but in her later years, the pressure from English forces began to weigh heavily on her.
At 56 years old, Grace was captured by Sir Richard Bingham, a ruthless Governor appointed by the Queen to rule over the regranted territories. Soon after his appointment, Bingham sent guards to arrest Grace and have her hanged. Grace was apprehended and along with members of her clan, imprisoned and scheduled for execution. Determined to die with dignity, Grace held her head high as she awaited her execution. At the last minute, Grace’s son-in-law offered himself as a hostage in exchange for the promise that Grace would never return to her rebellious ways. Bingham released Grace on this promise but was determined to keep her from power and make her suffer for her insurrection. Over the course of time, Bingham was responsible for taking away her cattle, forcing her into poverty, even plotting the murder of her eldest son, Owen.
During this period of Irish rebellion, the Spanish Armada was waging war against the English along the Irish and Scottish coastlines. It is not known whether Grace assisted the English against the Spanish or if she was merely protecting what little she had left– but around 1588, Grace slaughtered hundreds of Spaniards on the ship of Don Pedro de Mendoza near the castle on Clare island. Even into her late 50’s, Grace was fierce in battle.
In the early 1590’s, Grace was still virtually penniless thanks the constant efforts of Bingham to keep tight controls on her. There was a rather large rebellion brewing and Bingham feared that Grace would run to the aid of the rebels against the English. He wrote in a letter during this time that Grace was, “a notable traitoress and nurse to all rebellions in the province for 40 years.”
Grace had written letters to the Queen demanding justice, but received no response. In 1593, her son Theobald and brother Donal-na-Piopa were arrested and thrown into prison. This was the final straw that prompted Grace to stop writing letters and go to London in person to request their release and ask for the Queen’s help in regaining the lands and wealth that were rightfully hers.
Grace set sail and managed to avoid the English patrol boats that littered the seas between her homeland and London. The meeting took place in Greenwich Castle. The only record of this meeting that has survived are the lyrics to an old song that tell of Grace’s presence in the court of the Queen. Granuaile was known as a fearless leader and fierce fighter. In her 70 years of life, she and her family saw the English rule spreading throughout Ireland, but through her strength and leadership saw that her clan and those around her were mostly unaffected by it. It is said that from the year of her death in 1603 and onward, that no Irish chieftain had been able to preserve the old Gaelic way of life as Granuaile and her family had done in her lifetime.

Sex education is not exempt from the evil of systemic racism and white supremacy woven in American Society. In fact, the mythology of white supremacy is based on an idealized goal of the United States (U.S.) as a white nation state that exerts population controls to maintain power over racial and ethnic minority groups through political, economic, and social dominance.State departments of education, individual school districts, and even sex educators themselves must update their sex education provisions and curricula to ensure comprehensive sex education programs utilize a racial justice lens. This will support young people in developing a shared understanding of how racial stereotypes distort public perceptions of sexuality and impact the lived experiences of POC in America. These steps must be taken in order to create a shared responsibility to resist these stereotypes and the racist behaviors and public policies that perpetuate them.Thus, the purpose of this publication is to offer a rationale and a call to action for creating anti-racist sex education programs that purposefully abandon any "color-blind" approaches to sex education. This resource includes: a timeline of historical experiences of racism; an exploration of the formation of racialized sexual identities and how the sexualization of race was used to suppress and impact marginalized communities including Black, Native American or Indigenous, Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Latinx communities; ways that systemic racism has impacted the classroom and student experiences of sex education; and, finally, examples of how sex educators can incorporate anti-racist lessons into programs in alignment with the National Sex Education Standards (NSES), second edition.

Strength is a lifelong pursuit, not a 12 week program. The principles of getting stronger are a little bit deeper than “lift heavy shit and eat” and many people are puzzled at where to start or where to continue after a plateau.
10 books that I have used, and continue to use, will be vital pieces of information and references in any strength enthusiast’s library are:
1. “Never Let Go” by Dan John
Dan has an incredible amount of knowledge to share and he presents it in a way that you feel like an idiot for not knowing it. His simple approach to strength and life is an encyclopedia of information. Intertwined with strength concepts, stories and experiences is a book that is never far from my grasp.
2. “Base Building” Paul Carter
Paul is a polarizing figure to some because of his outspoken nature in his blog and on his facebook group page, but if you love him or hate him you can’t deny that this book has helped an immense amount of people achieve their goals and is a great way to approach a year round training plan.
3. “10/20/Life” Brian Carroll
I reviewed his book on my blog, so you already know how I feel about it. It is geared towards competitive lifters and you will be hard pressed to find a better book which focuses on the big three lifts than this one.
4. “The Westside Book of Methods” Louie Simmons
The only book in print where Louie describes his system, how to apply it and the ins and outs of working with ME, DE and weakpoint training. This book has influenced an untold number of people in the strength world, it is worth it to look for yourself.
5. “Block Periodization” Vladimir Issurin
If designing your own program is for you, learn how to do it and when to apply specific principles of each phase with this book. This is not for beginners, but it will educate you greatly for when you are ready for it.
6. “Squat Every Day” Matt Perryman
An incredible book which delves into the science of frequent training and Matt’s insights into it. A simple summary would not do it justice, pick this one up, it is cheap and a great addition to your collection.
7. “Power to the People Professional” Pavel Tsatsouline
Technique tips, sample workouts and stories from the perspective of Pavel’s experience and exposure to the great lifters/coaches in Russia.
8. “The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding” Arnold
What more needs to be said? A classic reference book that stands the test of time, why? The basics NEVER go out of style.
9. “The Development of Physical Strength” Anthony Ditillo
Like Arnold’s book, this is another timeless classic which I reference often for my own needs and people I train. Training concepts come and go, but great information never fades. Filled with routines and information that absolutely work.
10. “Ashman Strength System” Me
You knew it was coming…. All kidding aside, it’s a fine program, it works and I don’t care if you choose mine or another one on this list; just learn, adapt, grow, teach and pass on information so that the next generation of novices do not make the same mistakes we did.
Which are your top books for strength? I have many more, so a top ten list is hard to do, don’t bitch too much if your favorite is left out.

published in May 2018
Over a generous time span, this book follows the varied lives of several high-school classmates, from their teenage growing pains to their early forties. Connoisseurs of the work of the current most popular Czech author will find intact his familiar style (the slightly melancholic grotesque), in a tale which describes, with irony and delicate nostalgia, friendship, teenage confusion, love and destiny, including dreams and hopes, first loves and marriage, disappointment and disillusion, failure and personal tragedy, not to mention the impact on life of alcohol, beauty and ugliness, and above all the sadness that slowly penetrates the lives of the characters as they age.
More about the book
Dodgeball is one of its author’s most successful novels, whether in terms of numbers of copies sold or the responses of critics, including some from abroad, or readers. Over 200,000 copies have been sold in the Czech Republic alone, and it has already become available in twelve other languages, including German, Spanish, Italian and Russian. It has won the Magnesia Litera Readers’ Prize and in 2015 it was turned into a successful feature film under the same title.
Following Bringing up Girls in Bohemia and Bliss was it in Bohemia, this is the third of the author’s novels to appear in English translation.
“It is high time the successor to Milan Kundera’s throne was declared —and it can be no other than Michal Viewegh. Viewegh achieves
a symbiosis of the substantial, the important and the entertaining. His books are intelligent yet easy to read; they are comprehensive, yet simple. Unlike Kundera, he takes great pleasure in experimenting with different forms of narration. None of his books is the same
as any other, but his fans will always find the things they hold dear.”
Thomas Brussig, Der Spiegel
“There are authors of bestsellers who seek to entertain and others who write with finesse. Beginning with Dodgeball, Viewegh has shown that he is one of the latter. (…) Up until now, Michal Viewegh has never produced anything of such quality.”
Radek Knapp, Der Standard
About the author
Michal Viewegh (born 1962) is a novelist, short story writer, newspaper columnist, author of books for children and playwright. His 30 books have appeared in 24 languages and been turned into 10 feature films. Recipient of the Jiří Orten prize and the Magnesia Litera prize, he remains the Czech Republic’s most popular writer. About 2 million copies of his books have been sold in the Czech Republic alone.

Yesterday Rose turned 7! She woke up even earlier than usual at 6 am. We had lots of morning to fill, so she got showered and ready, and I let her open a present early so she could use her new colored pencils.Later we went to the library to check out some new chapter books for her and then to Old Navy to buy a new swimsuit. She ended up getting a few new swimsuits, a cover-up, and matching outfit for her and new baby sister. I spent the rest of the day getting some things ready for her party. She invited her friends Chloe and Nohea, but unfortunately Nohea couldn’t make it last minute so it was just Chloe. Chloe’s mom actually had a baby that day, so he will have the same birthday as Rose! We picked her up and had dinner: rainbow fruit and white pasta.Then we did a craft and made these magic wands. They turned out even cuter than I expected!They also did a rainbow scavenger hunt and looked all over the house finding little rainbow clues, finally finding the skittles at the end of the rainbow. We had cake and ice cream and presents of course too.She got a bunch of new summery things like a unicorn towel, goggles, and diving sticks (to go with the swimsuits) the She is suddenly seeming very old. I can’t believe how quickly these 7 years have gone. Rose is so fun and clever and has a very strong sense of making good choices. I love that she has never gotten in trouble at school and that all her primary teachers have adored her. She is becoming a really good swimmer, and loves to read (even staying up late in bed with her book light) and play with friends. We are so proud of her.


Gilman Collamore | Davis Collamore | Founders of the Oranges
Following the death of Revolutionary Capt. Enoch Collamore and his wife Hannah Cushing, the homestead at Gilman Plain in Scituate was willed to the surviving sons John, Enoch and Horace Collamore. The property remains in the Collamore family for the next two generations.
Col. John Collamore (1775-1859), eldest son of Capt. Enoch, once labeled "a stern old Puritan type", inherited the military instinct receiving his first commission of ensign by the Hon Samuel Adams. He also served as selectman, justice of the peace, assessor, county commissioner and served as a committee member of the State Constitutional Convention of 1820. One of Col. Collamore's 16 children settled in New York City and embarked on a successful trade in porcelain and china resale.
Located at 403 Broadway in New York, Ebenezer Collamore (1809-1884) imported china from France, India and England and supplied stoneware, Brooklyn Flint Glass, and Wedgewood for wholesale and retail. In 1836, at the age of 16, younger brother Davis (1820-1887) left the Collamore homestead for his brother's Broadway shop. Apprenticing for six years with his brother, Davis mastered the details of the business and the study of ceramics. On his own, he incorporated Davis Collamore at 595 Broadway in 1842 specializing in china, cut glass and Rockwood pottery.
During the 1850s, younger brother Gilman Collamore (1834-1888) came to join the company and the name changed to Davis Collamore & Co.
Gilman also branched out on his own occupying spaces in Union Square and a large several story building on 5th Avenue under the name Gilman Collamore & Co.
Davis Collamore commissioned designs from Copeland Spode and Thomas Minton that featured hand-painted details over transfer-printed outlines and often rich gilding. The company was known to rival the high end institutions in Tiffany & Co. and Black, Starr & Frost.
Davis was a brilliant tradesman in that he stayed steadfastly invested in the manufacture and cultivation of porcelain esthetics. He was considered one of the finest purveyors by the European markets and whose marketing opinions were sought after by his contemporaries. Davis was regarded as the epitome of integrity and his sharp business acumen enabled him to withstand all the financial crises.
During the 1860s Davis Collamore summered in West Orange, NJ eventually purchasing 70 acres on the eastern slope of Orange Mountain. Collamore named the estate Bellhurst and the acreage was comprised of apple orchards and a pasture for breeding Jersey cattle. A seventh generation first settler of New England became an original member of the New England Society of Orange and is credited as one of the original builders of the Oranges of New Jersey.

For general problems, these are the steps that have been recommended by Dr. Michael Pierce:
- If your health is pretty good but you want to identify some problem areas, this is a great place to start. You try the foods they recommend and then tweak it to what works best for you.
- One way to test if something is wrong for you is by taking your pulse rate than eat the food in question. Take your pulse rate 5 min after you eat it. If it has increased than the food is not so good for you.
- There is an organization NNFA trade group (National Nutrition Food Group) that strictly enforces standards on its members. If the store you shop at is a member of the organization than the products they sell have passed all requirements of this organization. These standards are much higher than the FDA and USDA requires.
- It is recommended supplementing with minerals Magnesium and Zinc. These are required in all chemical reactions in body. You need more Mg than Zinc. Calcium is needed but in some cases it actually can act as an excito-toxin (Russell Blalock's work) so you need to be careful with it.
- The last step in initially working with issues is to get bodywork done.

- The Amazing Liver and Gall Bladder Cleanse by Andreas Moritz
- WHY...in order to break down fats we need bile made in the liver and stored in the gall bladder to get into the small intestine! To do this we need to get rid of all the stones in the liver and the gall bladder. This cleanse allows the stones to loosen, easily expel out the bile ducts into the intestines so you are eliminating them through fecal matter.these are not kidney stones! This is preventative. These stones are hardened cholesterol and the build up results in over 500,000 gall bladders removed in the United States every year. Once this surgery is performed the liver is left with a lot more work.
- The Seven Day Colon Cleanse by Dr. Bernard Jensen
- The body on average carries 15 to 20 pounds of fecal matter. Autopsy reports confirm these findings. By fasting and taking the correct supplements one can eliminate the "black tar" that builds up along the colon walls. This impacted fecal matter is the home for bad bacteria imbalancing the flora of our intestines and the home of parasites. The diameter of the colon is roughly an inch and a half. By eliminating all the built up material one may sufficiently get rid of wastes in their body proportional to what they eat. When we are not eliminating daily the colon will stretch and become impacted contributing to the colon's loss of peristalsis.
- This book puts people in two different categories and explains what foods will benefit each. This is a first good step in figuring out what foods will benefit you. This is most important for those who have more serious conditions. The information will help you find the foods that will help balance out your blood ph. Which in turn will help the body fight off the problem. For those in the Twin Cities, Dr. Munson will do a half day exam that will identify which type you are.

This past week I noticed how thoughtful and caring each member of our class is in their own unique way. This weeks readings brought up something else we all seem to have in common. When we introduced ourselves on the first day of class, every single person in the class mentioned some library function or patron group about which they care deeply. At the time I didn’t realize just how important that passion is in librarianship. Reading the ALA Code of Ethics this week solidified my understanding of what it means to be a reference librarian. We are not simply there to preform reference interviews and help users find what they need. We are there to advocate for all of our users. This is the case no matter who they are, where they come from, what their current situation is, or what they need. I look forward to striving to uphold these ethical standards.
What I do wonder is if consortiums help or hinder our ethical goals. There is no doubt that they help advance the free flow of information. However, I wonder if consortia advance private interests. A event to which the ALA ethical standards are dynamically opposed. In economics, business consortiums are not only generally illegal, but detrimental to the market. They allow business to exploit the consumer by setting universally high prices. This both increases the burden on those able to pay and eliminates access of others to the product completely. In the case of libraries, consortia help libraries to interact with vendors to improve each member libraries access to various tools. If a few member libraries are opposed to a certain tool, yet the majority go forward with the purchase, those few member libraries lose funds they could use to help their patrons in a more effective way. I will admit this is less of a concern for small consortia made up of similar communities of patrons. However, there are a great many large consortia that span almost every state in the United States. It is impossible that all member libraries are composed of the same type of communities and as a result, it is unlikely that one tool will be as effective in one place as another.
For instance, a community with a large homeless population, would benefit from membership with job search tools and other resources. If that community is a member of a large consortium in which their community make-up is a minority, the consortium may not be willing to negotiate with vendors for these types of tools. While the majority of the consortium will benefit from this decision, it hinders the one libraries ability to help all of its patrons. Just like in a business situation, we cannot rule out the possibility that their will be winners and losers in a consortium situation. If this is the case, that library would benefit from keeping in mind their community when making the decision to enter a consortium.
In our readings, consortia were presented as almost unequivocally positive phenomenons. I believe it would be prudent to keep in mind that each library has a unique community of patrons for whom it is their job to advocate. In a large consortium made up of libraries with diverse communities, it is important to keep in mind that not every member will always benefit. That said, I do believe that a consortium can be beneficial in the right situation where the composition of member libraries is nearly homogenous. They do help advance librarians goal of open access to information and help individual libraries navigate the balance between that interest and that of the rights holders. While those our important goals, I cannot help but feel that the community we serve as librarians is the most important things. But that is my passion, someone else’s may be open information sources for all. That is the beauty of all of us in one room. We all have individual passion that connect to our ethical standards and each of those passions has value.

***CAUTION: LIFE PRO TIP AHEAD***
I’ve had an Audible account on and off for the last couple years. Reactivating it whenever I get into the book listening mood. A couple weeks ago I canceled my subscription again. This time not because I was done listening to books but because I realized there was a better way. I signed up for a library card. I knew before that this was an option, honestly I just probably didn’t know what it looked like or how to set it up. I’m glad I finally set it up though. All the free audio books I could want to rent!
The first book I digitally checked out was The Power of Habit: What We Do In Life And Business by Charles Duhigg. It had been a book I was on the fence about for a while. But now it was free so what do I have to lose?
As I started the book, it was really easy and enjoyable to listen to. It made a lot of sense and the science behind the stories was pretty easy to understand and get behind. I felt like much of the information should be common sense about how we think and feel, we just forget to do it sometimes. The idea that just by changing a few habits that you can completely remake who you are as a person is an enticing proposition.
Storytelling is one of Duhigg’s fortes in this book. By dramatizing the tales of NFL coach Tony Dungy, the almost failure of Febreze, and Michael Phelps and his habitual pre-race rituals, Duhigg is able to draw you in and make the reader understand the point he is trying to make.
By the end of the book, I almost got to the point where I was confused why I was still listening. I felt like it was just more of the same. Your entire life is habits and you can change them with hard work. Then in the last chapter, Duhigg really hit it home with a moving call to action. If you know a habit exists, it is possible, as well as your responsibility to change it.
Finished the book in ten days with just about an hour a day of listening. Chapters are broken out into about one hour segments which made it easy to listen to over my lunch hour. I definitely recommend picking this book up. I feel like it was a realistic approach to self improvement and making good habits.
If you’re interested in looking a bit more into the book before getting it, I found a really good cliff notes version of the book here.

Conversations with God is a trilogy that took Neil the American psychic writer a total of six years to complete. The author, who has been married five times and has nine children, wrote an angry letter to God when he was poor and at the lowest point of his life, but he did not expect to get an answer, and collected the dialogue that lasted for several years into a book, which gave birth to the classic “Conversations with God”.
Through Conversations with God, the author explores a wide range of topics, from human relations to the structure of the universe, life and death, marriage and sexuality, spirituality and religion, work and career, crime and punishment, and even education, economics, politics, etc., and God responds to them one by one, answering everyone’s doubts and difficulties. More importantly, each of us can have our own “Conversations with God”, contact with our own inner wisdom, and interpret life from our own perspective.

We are very proud to offer the first exhibition presenting the extraordinary
range of art of the late French artist Raymond Carrance, in celebration
of the publication of the monograph CZANARA: Drawings and Photographs.
Carrance was a photographer and book illustrator who, working mostly
in the 1950's and 60's, created a private body of homoerotic dreamscape's
under the pseudonym ‘Czanara’. The exhibit shines new
light on Carrance’s art, which is certainly courageous and
innovative, especially for its time.
One of the last great unknown erotic artists of the 20th century,
his work is somewhat reminiscent of the magic realism style of the
painters Paul Cadmus and Jared French, yet done in a photographic
medium. Using overlays of abstract graphics over dreamy images of
languid young men at play, his work is a meditative pondering of
the artist's psyche. The work is reverential, distinctly European,
yet never exploitative.
Carrance, who lived from 1921 - 1998, was also responsible for illustrating
with elaborate etchings and lithographs the works of Jules Renard
and Cyrano de Bergerac, as well as an edition of Henry de Montherlant’s
1951 gay classic La Ville dont Le Prince est un Enfant (The Land
Whose King is a Child). There will be examples of this riveting
work, as well as his compelling drawings, on view as well. Having
died with no heirs, his work was sold at auction by the French state,
but luckily fell into the hands of a bookseller who we have to thank
for it finally seeing the light of day.
This publication represents the first book from Antinous Press, an
important new imprint that is the brainchild of Sam Shahid, the well
known creative director. His visionary eye has been responsible for
the wildly successful advertising campaigns of Calvin Klein and Abercrombie
& Fitch, amoung others. Copies of the book will be available through
Photographs (editions of 15) start at $1000.
Drawings range from $1200. - $3500.
Engravings are $1200.


Under the baton of the German choral conductor Hans-Christoph Rademann, the RIAS-Kammerchor, the Freiburger Barockorchester, and the soloists Anna Lucia Richter (soprano), Stefanie Irányi (mezzo-soprano), Maximilian Schmitt (tenor) and Roderick Williams (baritone) perform Johann Sebastian Bach's Christmas Oratorio / Weihnachtsoratorium, BWV 248. Recorded live on December 17, 2016 at the KKL Luzern, Konzertsaal (Concert Hall in Luzern, Switzerland).
The Christmas Oratorio, BWV 248, completed around Christmastime of 1734, is not an oratorio in the usual sense. Instead the format is that of a cantata. Similar to the Matthew and John passions, it includes a tenor Evangelist who narrates the story of the birth of Christ as it appears in Luke 2:1-21 and Matthew 2:1-12. In order to keep clear what is narrative and what is commentary, all the Evangelist recitatives – the Gospel texts – are secco (dry, with simple chords from the cello and organ), while the other recitatives have obbligato instruments or string accompaniment. These recitatives are unified by lyrical meditations, or arias. The rich, imaginative harmonizations of the ten chorales reflect the voice of the people, as they were hymn tunes mostly well known to Bach's congregation. The compiler of the libretto remains unknown, but most scholars believe that Christian Friedrich Henrici (under the pseudonym Picander), a German poet and the librettist for many of Bach's Leipzig cantatas, probably gathered and arranged the texts.
Bach had composed virtually all of his cantatas when he came to assemble the Christmas Oratorio. In fact many of the movements are paraphrases from two earlier secular cantatas dating from 1733, the year before he produced the Christmas Oratorio: Laßt uns sorgen, laßt uns wachen / Hercules at the Crossroads, BWV 213 (composed for the 11th birthday of Friedrich Christian, Prince Elector of Saxony) and Tönet, ihr Pauken! Erschallet, Trompeten, (written to celebrate the birthday of Maria Josepha, Queen of Poland and Electress). Because of this, it is difficult to judge the extent to which Bach viewed the work as an entity. However, one might point to the unifying aspect of the same chorale used in the first and last cantatas. Equally convincing is the fact that all of the opening choruses are in three – an understood symbol of the Holy Trinity – and the oratorio commences and concludes in D major. Yet, there is no one consistent structural pattern uniting these cantatas. Five of them begin with a rousing major-key chorus, and one with a sinfonia. All but one end with a chorale but there is no homogeneity in their presentation, ranging from the unadorned four-part setting of the fifth to the resplendent, chorale/fantasia of the sixth.
Nonetheless the Christmas Oratorio was never performed under Bach's direction, condensing these six days and six cantata performances into a single performance of the paramount events of this thrice-told tale.

* Start time of each part
I. Jauchzet, frohlocket! auf, preiset die Tage (Cantata for Christmas Day)
[Three trumpets, timpani, two flutes, two oboes, two oboes d'amore, two violins, viola, continuo]
The opening chorus of the Christmas Oratorio is a paraphrase, taken from the secular birthday cantata for Maria Josepha, Queen of Poland and Electress, BWV 214 , from which Bach subsequently parodied a number of movements for the oratorio. The text for the original chorus called upon drums, trumpets and strings to fill the air. Bach's transformation of this material to wonderful and idiomatic Christmas music is a marvel. The opening chorus begins with the drums and is followed up by a mighty rush with the strings and winds to the dazzling entrance of the trumpets. Surrounded by two oboes d'amore, the alto recitative expresses contentment with the impending birth, leading us to the first aria, a paraphrase from BWV 213, a cantata originally composed for the House of Saxony. The original text, a denunciation of lust and the serpents of sin, now becomes a call to action – prepare yourself Zion, to behold the fairest.
The first and final chorales of the oratorio are a setting of the Passion chorale, which we usually associate with Lent. However, Bach's congregations would have been familiar with it as it exists in previously heard cantatas, most notably BWV 135. The movement that follows for bass soloist and the sopranos of the choir is among one of the most interesting movements in the entire cantata canon of Bach. Bach gives the sopranos four chorale phrases, each in a different key, and each is preceded and followed by an instrumental ritornello framing the entire movement. Furthermore, the chorale statements are extended by the bass's additional explanatory comment. This unique hybrid structure leads us to the powerful bass aria, another paraphrase from BWV 214 whose original form was a song of homage to the queen. A wonderful and grand setting of Vom Himmel hoch, da komm ich her, with trumpets and drums punctuating each cadence, ends the cantata.
II. Und es waren Hirten in derselben Gegend auf dem Felde (Cantata for the second day of Christmas)
[Two flutes, two oboes d'amore, two english horns, two violins, viola, continuo]
This is the only one of the six cantatas not to begin with a celebratory chorus but with an expansive sinfonia. With the four oboes as shepherds accompanied by flutes and strings as the heavenly choir of angels, the gently undulating dotted rhythms shape a lush, pastoral effect. The Evangelist then paints the picture of the shepherds in the fields when the Angel of the Lord appears. The unsophisticated, yet beautiful chorale Brich an, o schönes Morgenlicht contemplates the child's radiance. Two short recitatives act as a bridge to the first aria of the cantata, the first accompanied by strings and the second by the oboe choir. In the first the Angel, encompassed by a halo of sustained strings, announces the birth of the savior. The bass, backed by emphasizing woodwind chords, brings a reminder of the ancient promise. The tenor and flute aria is a call for them to gather, hasten and see for themselves the child who can refresh both body and spirit, as depicted by sweeping melismas in the voice and flute. The Evangelist then describes the infant Jesus in the manger. The chorale tune Vom Himmel hoch, one of the most beloved of the chorales, paints a darkish picture of the child in the gloomy stable where oxen once fed setting the scene for the gorgeous slumber aria for alto, flute, and strings. Notice how the flute hovers above the alto voice like a halo. The chorus then sings, without instrumental introduction, the energetic "Glory to God" chorus. There are two stunning moments when "peace on earth" is called for, compelling the choir to sing in hushed tones while the primarily eighth-note-driven continuo line temporarily subsides. The section ends with Vom Himmel hoch, this time accompanied by motives from the opening sinfonia.
III. Herrscher des Himmels, erhöre das Lallen (Cantata for the third day of Christmas)
[Three trumpets, timpani, two flutes, two oboes, two oboes d'amore, two violins, viola, continuo]
The third cantata completes the narrative wherein the shepherds and others hasten to the manger, extolling Jesus' powers. It begins with a brilliant chorus, again recycled from an earlier secular cantata, with trumpets and drums. The Evangelist tells of the shepherds making their way to Bethlehem. These words are encapsulated in the following turba chorus, less fully orchestrated and even shorter than the first. One of Bach's typically energized bass lines suggests determination while the flowing flute and violin melody intimates a flurry of activity.
A rather lengthy contemplative section follows. The first of the three plainly harmonized chorales Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ, offers a summation of what the shepherds have been told. The jaunty, rustic duet for bass, soprano, and two oboes d’amore is addressed to the child, placing emphasis upon love and devotion. The Evangelist continues telling of the shepherds finding Mary, Joseph, and the child. The alto then sings an aria with violin describing Mary's innermost feelings of the miracle of the birth. The shepherds retreat, praising God for what they have witnessed. The final chorale is the only one in a minor mode and is, perhaps, the most potent of the hymn tunes used in the oratorio so far. It is serious, direct, and delivers an authoritative message of great significance. The opening chorus is repeated to close the cantata.
VI. Herr, wenn die stolzen Feinde schnauben (Cantata for Epiphany)
[Three trumpets, timpani, two oboes, two oboes d'amore, two violins, viola, continuo]
The festival of Epiphany, the traditional twelfth day of Christmas, completes the narrative of the Wise Men and the revelation of the arrival of the savior to the world. Bach, therefore, celebrates with the maximum of musical ceremony, recalling the trumpets and drums. While the narration is concerned with the arrival of the Wise Men, much of the music exhibits a darker cast heading toward Lent. The opening chorus has a complexion that is both passionate and vertiginous, going in one direction then veering off unexpectedly in another, as befits the text, which is concerned with the treachery of Herod. After a bit of narration, the soprano sings an accompanied recitative and aria, rather abstract in its condemnation of Herod and its pronouncement of God's power. The aria is a wonderful piece, full of the trickiest phrasing and unexpected ideas, very much in the manner of the opening chorus. After more narration and a chorale setting, Bach abandons the Wise Men, and in the tenor recitative and aria again concentrates on the treachery of Herod. The little four-voice recitative is thirty seconds of magic and leads into the astonishing final chorus, a triumphant trumpet-and-drum affair in which is imbedded the Passion chorale. The Christmas Oratorio begins and ends, significantly, with the Passion chorale, much in the manner of many nativity paintings of the period that show in the background a little sapling growing which is meant to be the tree from which the cross will be made.

David Aitken is the author of two novels: A Dundee Detective and Sleeping with Jane Austen.
Writing of A Dundee Detective, Alison Rae of Polygon Books said: 'David Aitken is an accomplished writer with a dashingly likeable protagonist.' An Amazon reviewer added the comments: 'Well-written laconic style. Shades of Ray Chandler. East Coast cool.'
Sleeping with Jane Austen was called 'An ambitious novel, brilliantly realised,' by Steven Bell of Scotland Online, while Alex O'Connell of the London Times called it 'A funny-serious book in which David Aitken pokes his finger in the stomach of the traditional crime novel.'
Sleeping with Jane Austen was previously published by No Exit Press in the UK and USA, and both novels are now available on Amazon in Kindle format.
£2.05 / $2.99 / €2.60
Reviews of Sleeping with Jane Austen :
'An astonishingly vivid portrait of a catastrophically disturbed man, written with skill and precision.' (Jenny Wild, Waterstone's Catalogue)
'A waggish narrative describing a fatal fascination.. a great title.' (The Literary Review, Edinburgh)
'David Aitken has succeeded in forging a genuine work of literature which will appeal to all who have an interest in crime fiction. As confessional novels go, this is without doubt one of the best I've ever read... certainly the best book I've come across this year.' (Amazon customer review)
'Crime takes a journey into the mind of Daniel Adamson, currently penning his life story at Her Majesty's pleasure. An intellectual snob, he has more chance of sleeping with Jane Austen than of release.' (The Mirror, London)
'As the memorable title suggests, a sharp sense of humour is at work. The narration is verbally agile, and the jokes are there to ease the tension...' (Carol Anderson, The Herald)

The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
How Douglass’s first book changed America
There are numerous examples of books and works of literature that have completely changed the landscape of American society. One of the most significant examples of this is Frederick Douglass’s first autobiography, The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave. At the time of publication, Douglass’s narrative changed the way many Americans viewed slavery and contributed to the fight for abolition of slavery. Additionally, this narrative remains relevant in today’s society because it reminds us of America’s dark past and inspires us to fight for what we believe in. When reading Douglass’s narrative, it becomes clear why it was so pivotal in the abolition of slavery and how it continues to inspire people around the world today.
About the Author
Frederick Douglass was born a slave in the early nineteenth century on a plantation in Talbot county, Maryland. Throughout his childhood, Douglass had no accurate knowledge of his age and was only able to meet his mother a few times since he was separated from her at a very young age. Additionally, many of the slaves on the plantation were treated incredibly poorly by the overseers of the plantation, Captain Anthony and Colonel Lloyd.
When Douglass was seven years of age, he was sent to live in Baltimore with Hugh Auld, a relative of Captain Anthony. In the nineteenth century, there were laws that prevented slaves from learning to read and write. However, Hugh Auld’s wife, Sophia, taught Douglass the alphabet and some basic writing skills. She stopped teaching him at her husband’s request, but Douglass continued teaching himself as he realized the skills could be used to gain freedom.
Eventually, Douglass began working for Auld in a Baltimore shipyard and was able to secretly collect a bit of money in preparation for his escape. In 1838, Douglass escaped slavery and would later become an abolitionist leader. Douglass died of a heart attack in 1895, but his story and contributions continue to inspire people around the world.
About the Book
The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass was published in 1845, which was incredibly courageous as Douglass escaped slavery in 1838 and was not yet considered free. The book begins with statements from abolitionists William Garrison and Wendell Phillips. Garrison and Phillips both reflect on their friendships with Douglass and assure the reader that Douglass’s narrative is entirely factual and not exaggerated in any way.
In his narrative, Fredrick Douglass writes about his experiences and what life was like as a slave. He recalls living on plantation in Maryland as a child and being sent to different areas to work before his eventual escape. One of the more interesting things about Douglass’s narrative is how he explains his experiences in precise detail to show how horrible slavery truly was. The only exception to this is Douglass’s escape, which he purposely left out of the narrative in order to protect other slaves attempting a similar escape. The use of specific people and places is part of what made Douglass’s narrative so influential, because it rejected the claim that Douglass was fabricating his experiences (Quarles).
The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass undoubtedly left quite a legacy on American society and the way the world viewed slavery. Although it was not the first narrative written by an enslaved person, Douglass’s narrative quickly became the most popular. As a result of this publicity, Douglass travelled to Britain and gave speeches against slavery. Many believe that these visits to Britain “contributed much to the anti-Confederate sentiment of the British masses during the civil war” (Quarles).
After returning to the United States, Douglass began publishing a weekly newspaper and continued giving speeches. Speeches like “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” pointed out the hypocrisy in many of America’s founding ideas and exposed the need for the abolition of slavery. Additionally, Douglass’s work changed the way many Americans viewed slavery, and led to the rejection of confederacy during the civil war. Finally, in 1865, slavery was abolished, and the civil war was over. It is also believed that many of Douglass’s ideas contributed to other movements in the nineteenth century, such as gender equality and the improvement of prisons (Quarles).
Not only did Douglass’s narrative change America in the nineteenth century, it continued to impact the country even after his death. For example, many of the leaders of the Civil Rights movement in the mid-twentieth century were inspired by Frederick Douglass’s story and contributions to the United States. Also, in the Rhetoric Review article, “Frederick Douglass’s Rhetorical Legacy,” Professor Jonathan Rossing compares Douglass’s Rhetoric with the current Black Lives Matter movement, and states that “his rhetoric points out the way to guide the nation back to its high regard for human dignity and equal rights”.
Upon reading The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and reviewing the book’s legacy, we are reminded of how influential Douglass was in the abolition of slavery. Moreover, we learn that Douglass’s legacy will never fade as long as it continues to inspire people to fight for what they believe in.
