The the code used for the boundary extraction algorithms is available in the ipp image processing package developed by Randal Nelson at the University of Rochester. The package is not, and was not designed to be a complete collection of low-level operators, though it contains a number of such operators. Rather, the principal contents are higher level grouping routines for finding line segments and curve fragments, groups thereof and derivative features, which we have used in object recognition programs. The system consists of a set of libraries, written in C, which contain routines for all the grouping routines. There are also a number of utility programs that call many of the basic routines. The system should be runable standalone under standard UNIX and Linux systems. The code does need libraries (libtiff, libpgm etc. for the image formats. The are generally part of the standard install of Linux, but you may need to modify the makefiles to point at the correct location in your system. Because it is standalone however, it is not small. There are probably in excess of 50,000 lines of C code in the system. Not all of this is used for the curve extraction of course; if you want to trim out what you want, feel welcome. If you incorporate the code into other products, please preserve the copyright notice at the head of each file.
The basic representation for images used in this package is an in-core format which works well for robot vision applications where most images are 1K by 1K or less, given current workstation memories and speeds. It is not intended for use with very large images, such as those encountered in some aerial photo-interpretation tasks. The in-core format is quite basic, and not tied to any particular file format. To use images from various file formats, and input and output routines are required to load and store the images. Routines for loading and storing images in tiff, pgm, png, jpg, iff (Rochester) and clv (Maryland) formats are included with the package (input_tiff_image, output_tiff_image, etc.). For other formats, the user must write corresponding routines.
The system also contains hooks for doing graphical and mouse IO. The makefile contains a structure for easily substituting different versions of this library. The default make uses a set of dummy routines. There is also a set of XWindows routines using the X11 library. The "Readme" documentation describes how to configure the system to use X if it is available on your system.
More information on the structure, contents, and installation of the system is available in the top-level Readme file.
The ipp image package consists of a set of directories containing code, makefiles, information etc. These directories are archived into ipp.tar.gz. There is also a small amount of code in a separate file misc.tar.gz. This produces a separate library in a manner analogous to the ipp files. To obtain the package, either shift-click on the links at the bottom of this page, or ftp to ftp.cs.rochester.edu, and copy pub/u/nelson/ipp.tar.gz and pub/u/nelson/misc.tar.gz to your system. Put each compressed archive in some appropriate directory, decompress (using gunzip) and extract the archive. This will result in a directory called ipp, and a directory called misc cd to these directories and follow the instructions in the Readme files there to compile the code, assemble the libraries, and link up a few executables. (Basically, you should just have to type "make" at the top level). This software is developmental, and may contain errors and inefficiencies. No claims are made regarding the suitability of the algorithms contained herein for any purpose.

An Adventure Under the Stars – Ten days solo on the Stevenson Trail
On August 20, 2002, I leave Le Puy-en-Velay with a backpack and a hammock, to walk 250 km to Saint-Jean-du-Gard, following in the footsteps of the travel writer R. L. Stevenson.
An adventure narrative under the starry sky, paced by bivouacs, at the edge of a modernity whose aspects, seen from the paths of reality, reveal all their futility.
A return to the essential, to authentic sensations: contemplation, freedom, but also fatigue, pain, thirst, doubt.
An inner journey, on the trails of our soul, discovering simple and accessible little joys, where the spirit arrives and flows on the path like a river in its bed, light as a wanderer.
This travelogue takes us along the 250 km of the GR70 in France, the Stevenson Trail, which crosses the Massif Central from Velay to the Cévennes. A map of the trail has been added at the beginning of the book, with points of interest and bivouac locations mentioned in the narrative. Throughout his journey, Ludovic Rocca, the author-traveler, makes us experience an adventure in total freedom, walking through grandiose landscapes and establishing his bivouac in sometimes improbable places. Along the way, he encounters the inhabitants of rural France who reflect back to him the condition of his own urban life.
The themes explored include freedom, bushcraft, adventure, escape, the idea of setting off solo without constraints, and leaving an urban way of life.
The author provides his contemplative and poetic vision of nature and engages in some philosophical reflections.
The practice of bivouacking and bushcraft is developed throughout the narrative, with the use of the hammock in particular, suspended or simply laid on the ground.
This novel is not a hiking guide but rather a literary account of solo walking and escape in nature.

A New Artistic
Design Based on the Illuminated Manuscripts: the Album “Queen Jadwiga”
One of the general objectives of the
project is to increase an interest in both historical and artistic
literature. The historical book not only needs to include the information
about the historical events but also needs to refer in some way to the
past. A handwritten book with pictures and decorations painted or drawn in
bright colors was a major form of artistic expression at medieval times.
These handwritten books are called illuminated manuscripts.
The aims of
this project are: to elaborate the new artistic method of illustration of
the printed book, to introduce a
new technique of the artistic designing of the book, to investigate
interplay between text and illustration in the book and to increase an
interest in both historical and artistic literature.
The first version of the book was issued
on the Queen Jadwiga Day (8 June 2005) . This
book can be ordered from the QJF Kiosk.

New York: Currier & Ives, 1871. (9 5/8 x 14 inches). A Selection of Lithographs by Currier & Ives (1834 - 1907). The publishing firm of Currier & Ives created the most popular and highly regarded lithographs of quintessentially American scenes ever produced. The quality, vast scope and engagingly populist style of their works have made their names synonymous with an idealistic vision of nineteenth-century American promise and optimism.


Once Upon a Time, America was a shining beacon. Then liberals came along and erected an enormous Federal bureaucracy that handcuffed the invisible hand of the free market. They subverted our traditional American values and opposed God and Faith at every step of the way. Instead of requiring that people work for a living, they siphoned money from hard-working Americans and gave it to Cadillac-driving drug addicts and welfare queens. Instead of punishing criminals, they “understand” them. Instead of worrying about the victims of crime, they worried about the rights of criminals. Instead of adhering to traditional American values of family, fidelity, and personal responsibility, they preached promiscuity, premarital sex, and the gay lifestyle, and they encouraged the feminist agenda that undermined traditional family roles. Instead of projecting strength to those who would do evil around the world, they cut the military budget, disrespected our soldiers in uniform, burned our flag, and chose negotiation and multilateralism. Then Americans decided to take their country back from those who sought to undermine it. The End.1
Once Upon a Time, the vast majority of human persons suffered in societies and social institutions that were unjust, unhealthy, repressive, and oppressive. These traditional societies were reprehensible because of their deep-rooted inequality, exploitation, and irrational traditionalism. But the noble human aspiration for autonomy, equality, and prosperity struggled mightily against the forces of misery and oppression, and eventually succeeded in establishing modern, liberal, democratic, capitalist, welfare societies. While modern social conditions hold the potential to maximize the individual freedom and pleasure of all, there is much work to be done to dismantle the powerful vestiges of inequality, exploitation, and repression. This struggle for the good society in which individuals are equal and free to pursue their self-defined happiness is the one mission truly worth dedicating one’s life to achieving. The End.2
The human mind is a story processor, not a logic processor. Among the most important stories we know are stories about ourselves. The greatest contribution of John McAdams to psychology has been his insistence that psychologists connect their quantitative data to a more qualitative understanding of the narratives people create to make sense of their lives.3 These narratives are not necessarily true stories – they are simplified and selective reconstructions of the past, often connected to an idealized vision of the future. But even though life narratives are to some degree post-hoc fabrications, they still influence people’s behavior, relationships, and mental health.4

In honor of the recent release of the PDF version of the Upper School newspaper, The Campitor, I thought I share a shot of the very first CA student newspaper. Like many things “back in the day” at Cary Academy – it didn’t have a name yet.
Some of the items in that first issue from 1997:
- Coverage of the first Handshake Ceremony (I’ll send a shout out tomorrow to the first student who emails me with the name of the faculty member pictured above).
- A story about the many visitors who stopped by CA in those first few months, including a US Senator.
- A movie review about Steel, staring Shaquille O’Neal.
- A story about “virtual pets” that you carry around on your keychain.
- A compilation of fun things to do around the Triangle, like go to Crabtree Valley Mall or Jellybeans.
- A contest to name the newspaper. (Any attentive Charger know what name won?)
One quick update before you jump into your classwork today:
If you have a library book and you are worried about it being late, Mr. Pugsley shared that there are no “late penalties.” Keep your books for now, no worries.
Have a great day, Chargers!


Days of the Republic of Tatarstan of the Russian Federation in Turkmenistan kicked off in Ashgabat. The opening ceremony took place at the Palace of Mukams of the State Cultural Center. It was attended by visiting President of the Republic of Tatarstan of the Russian Federation Rustam Minnikhanov.

Opening Inclusive Education Unit at the University of Jordan
Date: May 15th 2023
Place: The University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan
The University of Jordan hosted an opening conference honored by His Excellency, Prof. Nathir Obeidat, the President of the University of Jordan. His Excellency announced the inauguration of the Inclusive Education Unit, which is funded by the Erasmus+ program through the Edu4ALL project. The unit is located on the ground floor of the university library to ensure easy accessibility for students with disabilities. The opening ceremony began with a speech by Dr. Mujahed Thneibat, the Director of the University Library. Dr Thneibat highlighted the role of the library in providing access to academic resources and creating a conducive environment for studying. He also stressed the importance of inclusive learning and expressed gratitude to the European Union (EU), represented by the Erasmus+ program, and the Edu4ALL team at the University of Jordan.
Dr. Ismail Altaharwa, the Edu4ALL project coordinator at the University of Jordan, provided a brief overview of the project. Dr. Altaharwa emphasized how the inclusive education unit, equipped with assistive technology, can greatly benefit students with disabilities and contribute to the overall university community. He invited attendees to watch a documentary video summarizing the accomplishments of the Edu4ALL project.
Prof. Ahmad Abu El-Haija, the Director of the National Erasmus+ Office in Jordan, delivered a short speech. Dr. Abu El-Haija congratulated the successful establishment of the unit at the University of Jordan and provided an overview of Erasmus+ priorities for the period from 2022 to 2027. He explained how the EU focuses on providing better opportunities for students with disabilities in their programs. Dr. Abu El-Haija also highlighted the potential benefits of the inclusive education unit in enabling students with disabilities from the University of Jordan and other Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Jordan to participate in student mobility programs sponsored by the EU.
His Excellency, Prof. Nathir Obeidat, the President of the University of Jordan described the University’s efforts to engage students with disabilities in higher education programs. He emphasized that providing equal opportunities to all students is an obligation. Prof. Obeidat expressed sincere thanks to the EU, represented by the National Erasmus Office in Jordan, as well as to the administration of the university library for their facilities and services provided to students and the university community. Prof. Obeidat and the audience then moved to open the Inclusive Education Unit.
Dr. Altaharwa provided a detailed description of each assistive technology tool displayed in the unit, while students with disabilities had the opportunity to practice using the tools individually. After the opening session concluded Dr. Altaharwa invited the unit committee, attendees, and students with disabilities to proceed to the conference room for a brainstorming session.
The session began with a presentation by Prof. Alia Alghwiri, a member of the Edu4ALL team at UJ, who summarized the results obtained from a questionnaire conducted in 2021 at the start of the project. Over 20 students with disabilities attended the session and agreed with the study findings. Dr. Nazeeh Ghatasheh, another member of the Edu4ALL team at UJ, discussed digital accessibility and how it complements assistive technology in achieving universal design.
At the end of the day, Dr. Mujahed Thneibat invited the attendees to join a dinner at the university restaurants.


Here’s a blast from the past “2013 Top 5 Screenwriting books”. Over the years, I have set up and shut down a blog. I’ve been going through old files and collating my notes. I found this old blog post from six years ago.
I haven’t changed the original text too much. It’s hopefully more readable, and I’ve put in affiliate links also in case you’re interested in sourcing the work.
2013 Top 5 Screenwriting books
There are many good books would be screenwriters should use. Here are five of my favourites. Before we begin, I should mention that not all these books are “how-to” s and second there are two notable exemptions. The first is How Not To Write a Screenplay, that is because I don’t own it and have only read it once. The second exclusion is Story by Robert McKee. I left it out because I found the book too technical in parts. While that is not a problem in itself, it can be somewhat daunting to the amateur screenwriter. Books on screenwriting should not be memorised whole. Instead, they should be on hand and consulted. There is much to take in with screenwriting books, and many of them are written slightly dry.
Here are my top five.
5. How to Write a Movie in 21 Days – Viki King
While I would not tell you to take up the challenge of the title, there is much good advice in here. Viki King goes into the specifics. What needs to be happening on specific pages of your screenplay and guides through the why. She instructs how to get into the mindset of writing visually. She also provides you with an idea about what kind of screenplay you will write at the various stages of your life. This book deals with the content of the screenplay in a friendly, approachable manner. If you think you’re up to the challenge, go for it. (Buy it here)
4. The Seven Basic Plots – Christopher Booker
This book maps out the archetype for most stories. Through a wide range of sources spanning from Gilgamesh right up to the present day, we are shown the basics of the plot. Booker tries to explain the long-lasting appeal of plays such as Oedipus Rex and Hamlet. He looks at works that may defy classification such as the works of Chekov and Beckett. Booker looks at the rise of violence in film and how it reflects collective subconscious. You may not agree with everything he says, but it does provide food for thought. (Buy it here)
3. The Devil’s Guide to Hollywood – Joe Eszterhas
I didn’t know whether to include this or not. Seeing as the actual section on screenwriting is very slender indeed. Joe Eszterhas, however, is the only writer on the list who is a highly successful screenwriter, writing the likes of Jagged Edge, Basic Instinct and… um, Showgirls. If anything this book is an inspirational work. It exalts the usually lowly screenwriter. Read it to remind yourself that if your script is good enough, you can get it made on your terms. (Buy it here)
2. Screenplay – Syd Field
This book lays down the basics. It is the most instruction manual like of all on the list, and that is what I like about it. Field deals in structure and explains why scripts read the way they do. Syd Field has read many screenplays. He brings that experience to bear when it comes to analysing successful scripts. Texts such as Ordinary People, Pulp Fiction and Terminator 2. If you want to know about the basics, read this. (Buy it here)
1. Poetics – Aristotle
This might be a bit of an obvious first choice. I can’t recommend this enough; if you haven’t read it already, you can find it for free online. The strength of this work is through analysis of Oedipus Rex. It lays out the rules of drama; it is also a text that you will visit again and again getting something new each time. If you haven’t, read it here now.
How did you find that? You noticed how short it was. I used to fret over getting to a certain amount of words. Now, not so much. It’s also pretty wordy. Something I’m no longer a fan of.
I’m going to do an updated top 5. My tastes have changed and you’ll get a lot of benefit out of the new list.
Speak to you soon.


Children’s Literature Recommendations
Five great picture books to enjoy over the school holidays.
Here are some touching, funny and ingenious recommendations to enjoy. We hope they become new favourites!
They All Saw a Cat

Magnolia Reads Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer
By: Irene Lo
Last November, we kicked off Book Club 2.0 with Annihilation, the first volume of the Southern Reach Trilogy, a fictional series created by Jeff VanderMeer, an author associated with ecofiction and the New Weird, a revival of classic weird fiction that pays homage but also plays with science fiction, horror and fantasy elements a la H.P. Lovecraft.
Paramount Pictures, at the time, had recently released its tantalizing dramatic trailer for its film adaptation of Annihilation starring Natalie Portman and Oscar Isaac (yes!). It was perfect timing and I knew we had to read this book.
For a commercial product, Area X also boasts one of the most artistic book covers in recent years, one to grace the bookshelf with its minimalistic binding and simple type and illustration. And don’t let’s get started on the book trim! The well-known Rodrigo Corral designed the book cover, where it was recognized as one of the Best Book Covers in 2014 by the New York Times and it’s not hard to see why with its eye-catching design that manages to preserve the secrets of the contents inside.
Annihilation introduces us to Area X, a coastal region cut off from the rest of the world, explored in a series of expeditions dispatched by a secret government agency called the Southern Reach. These expeditions have returned – when they have returned – with more questions than answers. We enter Area X through a journal recorded by one of the members of the Twelfth Expedition, the Scientist. Let the world-building begin.
We all read the first volume, the length of a short novella, while some of us raced on to the second and third volumes of the trilogy. The majority felt the ending was abrupt and that there were too many unanswered questions, but we enjoyed speculating on what happened. We had many theories about the Tower, the creatures hidden in the lush foliage, what happens to you if you ingest the spores, and what happened to the Scientist’s husband.
Personally, I thought that Annihilation was the most gripping of all the volumes, because it exposed us to new mysteries and shockers without ever explaining anything, what a scary and stimulating read (That is, until you get to volumes two and three, which are equally fine in their own rights but also progressively weirder).
Highly recommendable read for those looking for a sci-fi thriller!


I found this book “diabetes freedom” very informative! My husband has been dealing with type 2 diabetes for 15 years. I appreciate the depth to which the author discusses both types of diabetes, making comparisons and highlighting the latest research with its implications. The information which I found alarming is the risk of heart disease and stroke are 2-4 times greater for those people who have diabetes in addition to the fact they are more likely to get severe cases of the flu. I was surprised to read that both types are connected to either a reaction of the immune system or malfunction of the immune system which are triggered by environmental factors. I am grateful to this author who looks at other approaches to treating disease than the traditional protocol which only treats the symptoms and not the roots. If you apply the knowledge outlined in this book it will give you the power to take control of what is ultimately a life threatening disease.


Continuing on our theme of “dark night experiences,” I discovered a story called “The Old Woman in the Cave” told by mythic storyteller Michael Meade in his book Why The World Doesn’t End.
The old people of the tribes would tell of a special cave where knowledge of the wonders and workings of the world could be found. “Not too far to go,” they say, yet no one seems to find it anymore.
Inside the cave, there lives an old woman who remains unaffected by the rush of time and the confusion and strife of daily life. She spends most of her time weaving in the cave where light and shadows play. She wants to fashion the most beautiful garment in the whole world. She has been at this weaving project for a long time and has reached the point of making a fringe for the edge of her exquisitely designed cloak. She wants that fringe to be special; wants it to be meaningful as well as elegant, so she weaves it with porcupine quills. In order to use the porcupine quills, she must flatten each one with her teeth. After years of biting hard on the quills, her teeth have become worn down to nubs that barely rise above her gums. Still, the old woman keeps biting down and she keeps weaving on.
The only time she interrupts her weaving work is when she goes to stir the soup that simmers in a great cauldron at the back of the cave. The old cauldron hangs over a fire that began a long time ago. The old woman cannot recall anything older than that fire; it just might be the oldest thing there is in this world. Occasionally, she does recall that she must stir the soup that simmers over those flames. For that simmering stew contains all the seeds and roots that become the grains and plants and herbs that sprout up all over the surface of the earth. If the old woman fails to stir the ancient stew once in a while, the fire will scorch the ingredients and there is no telling what troubles might result from that.
So the old woman divides her efforts between weaving the exquisite cloak and stirring the elemental soup. In a sense, she is responsible for weaving things together as well as for stirring everything up. She senses when the time has come to let the weaving go and stir things up again. Then, she leaves the weaving on the floor of the cave and turns to the task of stirring the soup. Because she is old and tired from her labors and because of the relentless passage of time, she moves slowly and it takes a while for her to amble over to the cauldron.
As the old woman shuffles across the floor and makes her way to the back of the ancient cave, a black dog watches her every move. The dog was there all along. Seemingly asleep, it awakens as soon as the old weaver turns her attention from one task to the other. As she begins stirring the soup in order to sustain the seeds, the black dog moves to where the weaving lies on the floor of the cave. The dog picks up a loose thread with its teeth and begins pulling on it. As the black dog pulls on the loose thread, the beautiful garment begins to unravel. Since each thread has been woven to another, pulling upon one begins to undo them all. As the great stew is being stirred up, the elegant garment comes apart and becomes a chaotic mess on the floor.
When the old woman returns to take up her handiwork again, she finds nothing but chaos where there had been a garment of great elegance and beauty. The cloak she has woven with great care has been pulled apart, the fringe all undone; the effort of creation has been turned to naught. The old woman sits and looks silently upon the remnants of her once-beautiful design. She ignores the presence of the black dog as she stares intently at the tangle of undone threads and distorted patterns.
After a while, she bends down, picks up a loose thread, and begins to weave the whole thing again. As she pulls thread after thread from the chaotic mess, she begins again to imagine the most beautiful garment in the whole world. As she weaves, new visions and elegant designs appear before her and her old hands begin to knowingly give them vibrant shape. Soon she has forgotten the cloak she was weaving before as she concentrates on capturing the new design and weaving it into the most beautiful garment ever seen in the world.
Just when it seems all is lost and the world is being unwoven before us, a story comes along that reminds us that perhaps our unweaving is a wonderful thing. Perhaps we are becoming free to weave an even more beautiful world.
We are in this together,


Shining a light on COVID inequities: A personal reflection
FIND IT IN PRINT OR ONLINE
Recently published by the University of Michigan Press, Ohio Under COVID: Lessons from America’s Heartland in Crisis, tells the human story of the pandemic from a numerous walks of life. Two themes emerge again and again: how the pandemic revealed a deep tension between individual autonomy and the collective good, and how it exacerbated social inequalities in a state divided along social, economic, and political lines. Both of these themes are explored in a chapter authored by lab member Forrest Behne and University of Cincinnati bioethicist, Dr. Elizabeth Lanphier.
The chapter, titled “Prisons, Pandemics, and Personal Responsibility,” offers research and reflections on the early days of COVID, and how the government response set a precedent that would be mimicked in other states. Throughout the essay, the authors weave first-person accounts from Forrest’s time spent wrongly incarcerated at Ohio’s London Correctional Institution. Marrying epidemiological analysis with a depiction of life inside a prison besieged by the virus offers the reader poignant insight into the crisis while highlighting the need for criminal-legal reform.
To find out more about the data underpinning this essay, visit the COVID Prison Project website. The book is available for purchase through the University of Michigan Press. A digital version of the text is available through Open Access, including the essay “Prisons, Pandemics, and Personal Responsibility.”
Lived experience can be a potent tool for researchers and advocates. By sharing details of Forrest’s time incarcerated during the pandemic, the authors highlight both the monotony and the terror of this period. Data collected by the COVID Prison Project and others offer context to how practical, logistical, and political constraints affected carceral operations. Combined, these sources ask the reader to consider the ethical imperative of criminal-legal reform and how these efforts must center changes to carceral health.
The essay culminates by urging policymakers and the public to critically analyze their views on incarceration and health. “The orthodoxy of corrections—that the individual bears singular responsibility for their situation—became the lens through which the pandemic was viewed in correctional settings. This approach fundamentally shaped Ohio’s management of COVID in its prisons and jails.” The pandemic showed that the world is more connected than ever and that population and individual health are inextricably linked. Despite this, carceral administrators and public health officials across the country failed to sufficiently protect those experiencing incarceration.

The EMBASE database is a member of the Ovid EMBASE family that consists of three separate databases: Excerpta Medica Database (EMBASE), EMBASE Drugs and Pharmacology (EMDP), and EMBASE Psychiatry (EMPS). Formally, EMDP and EMPS are considered to be subsets of EMBASE. This field guide, although very similar in content to those of EMDP and EMPS, provides scope of information specific to the EMBASE database.
The Excerpta Medica database (EMBASE) produced by Elsevier Science, is a major biomedical and pharmaceutical database indexing over 3,500 international journals in the following fields: drug research, pharmacology, pharmaceutics, toxicology, clinical and experimental human medicine, health policy and management, public health, occupational health, environmental health, drug dependence and abuse, psychiatry, forensic medicine, and biomedical engineering/instrumentation. There is selective coverage for nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, psychology, and alternative medicine. EMBASE is one of the most widely used biomedical and pharmaceutical databases because of its currency and in-depth indexing. Frequent updates allow access to the latest medical and pharmacological trends. Approximately 375,000 records are added yearly.

One of them is 6 weeks pregnant and the other is breastfeeding a 2-month-old infant, and I have received conflicting information about the safety of this drug during pregnancy and breastfeeding. What should I do? Answer: Although metronidazole has been on the market for almost 40 years, its use remains controversial during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Recent evidence has shown, however, that this drug is not associated with adverse effects during either pregnancy or breastfeeding.

“The dictionary contains disciplines in which BiH will be presented. Olympians in Paris as well as some general expressions that can help them in the context of the sports games and their stay”, said Jasmina Zvonić.
Mostar students, together with their teachers, created a dictionary dedicated to Olympic and Paralympic sports, which will be used by BiH at the 2024 Olympics. Olympians. A dictionary containing words and expressions in French, Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian was presented on March 25 in the premises of the branch of the French Institute in Mostar. It was created by students and professors of the French language at Mostar High School, Joza Martinović Secondary School of Economics and Second High School Mostar. “The dictionary contains disciplines in which BiH will be presented. Olympians in Paris as well as some general expressions that can help them in the context of the sports games and their stay”, said Jasmina Zvonić, manager of the branch of the French Institute in Mostar.
Zvonić added that the idea came from the fact that the Olympic Games are being held in Paris this year. “We, as the French Institute, are working on the promotion of that event, the idea of the dictionary came up by itself because we also have a fellow citizen who will present herself in Paris. We thought with professors and students about how to make a contribution and that’s how we created this dictionary”, added the head of the branch of the French Institute in Mostar. Džejla Tanović, a student of Second High School Mostar who participated in the creation of the dictionary, points out that the work on the project was extremely interesting.
“We worked in pairs, translated words and had the opportunity to explore a little more about sports. This is not an important project only for the French Institute and our schools, but for Mostar and BiH. In this way, we are promoting our city and country”, said the fourth grade student of the Second High School Mostar. Zvonić mentioned that the goal was for the students to expand their knowledge of the French language, and about the Olympics in general and sports.
“It is true that by working on the dictionary we improved our knowledge of the French language and every part of the activity was useful for us. The research we did also helped us, and all the effort and work paid off. This is one more step for our school, students and the city of Mostar,” said the student of Second High School Mostar. This is the first promotion of the dictionary, and the next one will be held in Sarajevo before the departure of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Olympians to Paris.


An extremely rare Bible has been discovered, known for an unfortunate mistake that encourages adultery. New Zealand.
The “evil” Bible of 1631, as it became known, omits the word “no” from its seventh commandment, informing readers of “adultery.” A thousand copies of the text, which also became known as the Bible of Adulterers or Sinners, were printed, a mistake was discovered only a year later.
After discovering the error the printers Robert Barker and Martin Lucas were summoned by King Charles I and brought to trial, where they were warned for a scandalous typo and sloppy work. They were stripped of their printing licenses, fined £ 300 for years (although it was eventually revoked), and most of the texts were destroyed. Only about 20 remain in circulation.
Bibles do go to auction occasionally mostly in the UK or US, but this is the first time it has been discovered in the southern hemisphere, says the University of Canterbury in Christchurch. The university was first informed of its existence in 2018, but has decided to keep this discovery a secret until now to give researchers and book keepers enough time to study and preserve the book.
“It’s a mystery, it’s fascinating, and it’s flown halfway around the world,” said Chris Jones, an associate professor of media studies at the university and a member of the Society of Antiques in London.
A former student of Jones brought him a copy in 2018 after her family bought it two years earlier when selling the deceased’s estate. The deceased owner was bookbinder Don Hampshire, who arrived in New Zealand in the late 1950s from the UK and died in Christchurch in 2009, but as far as Jones can tell, Hampshire never told anyone about owning them.
Jones’ former student told him she thought it was an “evil” Bible, but he “didn’t believe it very much because it’s unusual.”
“It’s not that you just walk into an office, finding one in a garage in Christchurch. But I looked at it and thought, “Wow, that’s exactly what my former student thinks – it’s an evil Bible. I was impressed by that. “
Jones said there are copies in Canada, some in the US, others in the UK, Ireland and a “very good copy” in Dublin.
“Australians say they have, but they don’t,” Jones laughed, adding that their copy did not contain the infamous “no.”
“That one came to me in Christchurch is just great.”
The opening of the book sparked Jones’ interest in the history of the Bible and the myths about why the mistake was made, the lawsuit surrounding it, and the wider printing industry of the time he plans to publish articles.
There is a debate about how the printing error occurred, with theories that it could have been a deliberate act of industrial sabotage by a rival printing house. But Jones dispelled the rumors, saying it was much more likely that the printing presses that worked at the head of the industry were simply cutting costs on editors.
The life of the New Zealand copy, owned by the Phil and Louise Donitorn Family Foundation, remains a mystery before she arrived in the country. Where many Bibles contain detailed descriptions of family trees, dates, places, and records of births and deaths, this copy has only one obscure name.
The copy was in relatively poor condition when it was found again, with no cover, some water damage, and a few pages on the back disappeared forever. But it also has some unique features – it’s one of the few copies that has more decorative red and black inks and is a much more complete version than many others.
Conservative books and paper Sarah Aski has preserved the subject by carefully crafting the work, installing a new cover and preserving it for future generations. Eski documented any small features that might help give clues as to where the book was – between some pages she found the remains of plants, human hair and textile fibers.
“It was inconvenient to manage … and there were a lot of solutions to the problems, but it was very satisfying,” Eski said.
The book has been fully digitized and will be free to the public via the website in the coming months – what Jones hopes will shed more light on the mysterious illegible copy name scrawled inside.
“I hope someone comes in and says, ‘Chris Jones, you’re an idiot, it’s really obvious,’ and I’m looking forward to it.”


How the Wizard arrived in Oz and became the ruler. A prequel to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Release Date: 8 March 2013
Cast: James Franco, Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz
Directors: Sam Raimi
Writer: L. Frank Baum, Mitchell Kapner
Studio: Walt Disney Pictures
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a children’s novel written by L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow. Originally published by the George M. Hill Company in Chicago on May 17, 1900, it has since been reprinted numerous times, most often under the name The Wizard of Oz, which is the name of both the 1902 stage play and the well-known 1939 film adaptation. The story chronicles the adventures of a young girl named Dorothy Gale in the Land of Oz, after being swept away from her Kansas farm home in a tornado. The novel is one of the best-known stories in American popular culture and has been widely translated. Its initial success, and the success of the popular 1902 Broadway musical which Baum adapted from his original story, led to Baum’s writing thirteen more Oz books. The original book has been in the public domain in the US since 1956.Visit our Partner Website pornu.su


Eating Expectantly Review
In addition to working in the perinatal health field, I’m also personally passionate about all things related to perinatal health and I happen to be pregnant myself right now. As you might imagine, I have countless books on a multitude of topics related to perinatal health, including several nutrition books. I’ve also taken nutrition courses at UC Davis and UCLA, so while I’m not anywhere near being a registered dietitian, I have a pretty good handle on the subject.
This book is an invaluable resource for women of childbearing age. In fact, the term “book” doesn’t really do it justice. It’s more like an encyclopedia of nutrition knowledge that all women of childbearing age should own and refer to specific sections as they are experiencing the different phases of childbearing.
While I sat down and read it cover to cover, I don’t think that’s the best way to read the book. Let’s take, for example, a mom in her first trimester. She should focus on reading the sections on general prenatal nutrition as well as the first trimester section. As she enters her second trimester, she can move onto the second trimester section and so on as she progresses. This way, she avoids information overload and focuses on the information that’s applicable to her and her baby at that moment.
Here’s what I like about the book and why I’d recommend it to any woman of childbearing age:
- Contains a wealth of information all in one place – No need to buy a variety of books or look at various sites on the internet to gather the information.
- Comprehensive – Not only does it include nutrition information, but it also includes other information related to healthy fertility, pregnancy and post-pregnancy including exercise, prenatal care, and what’s happening inside of the body.
- Understandable and relatable – It’s not written with confusing scientific words that most women wouldn’t understand. The author also brings in her own personal experiences and shares stories and insight from other moms, which makes the book feel like it’s written by a friend just for you.
- Accurate – This one might seem odd, but you’d be surprised how much incorrect information is shared in books, magazines and on the internet. As I said, I’m not a registered dietitian, but from what I do know, Bridget Swinney is spot on with the information she includes in the book. Since my focus is on exercise, I carefully read the information included on exercise and I’m proud to say that it’s accurate and even includes some of the information that I share with my clients.
- Specific foods and meal plans – Many nutrition resources just tell you the nutrients you need (i.e. iron) and might suggest a few foods that contain the nutrient, but that’s pretty much it. This book includes a tremendous amount of specific foods and also suggests sample meal plans. I love this feature because I think it makes it that much easier for moms to stick to a healthy diet. They don’t have to do the work themselves of looking at all of the nutrients, finding foods that contain them and then putting together a meal plan.
- Inclusive – The book isn’t just written for women having one narrow definition of a “normal” childbearing experience. It includes sections on PCOS, dad’s role, gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan and high-risk pregnancy conditions.
Eating Expectantly gets a HIGHLY RECOMMEND from Fit for Expecting.
It would be the perfect book to give as a gift or to buy for yourself and then when you’re done having kids, pass along to a friend. Eating Expectantly can be purchased online at http://www.eatingexpectantly.com/.


One of the important international events for the anniversary of the military aggression against Ukraine was the holding of a high-level event with the participation of 45 ambassadors and their deputies at the residence of the Embassy of Sweden on February 28 in Vienna with the assistance of the Permanent Mission of Canada to the International Organizations in Vienna, the Embassies of Sweden and Norway, namely a panel discussion on the topic of challenges for nuclear workers in the context of war and a preliminary presentation of 5 printed stories that are part of the upcoming book “Voices of Ukraine”.
The chairman of the panel discussion was the Permanent Representative of Ukraine to international organizations in Vienna, Mr. Yevhenii Tsymbaliuk.
“Voices of Ukraine” is an important and unique project on which the WiN Ukraine team, under the auspices of the World Institute for Nuclear Security, worked fruitfully throughout 2022 from different parts of the world.
17 heroes, 17 unique stories and even more important messages from Ukrainian specialists in the nuclear sphere, whose lives and futures were changed in their own way by the war,” said WINS Executive Director Lars Van Dassen during his speech.
For WiN Ukraine, the “Voices of Ukraine” project is more than just a collection of stories. This is our contribution to the fight against nuclear terrorism on the diplomatic and informational fronts. Thanks to the publication, the world will hear unique and sometimes impressive facts about how, despite all the difficulties, the Ukrainian nuclear sphere works and develops, and why it is so important to record these stories for future generations!
The presentation of the entire book is planned for the end of April 2023. So follow our announcements!
