FROM DAKOTA’S DEN: I first reviewed this book back in 2014. Recently, I was contacted by Angela Thompson Roberts asking if I would share information about her recently released, updated and expanded version. The book was “tweaked throughout”, no content was removed, Chapter 4 was totally “re-worked” and much was added to Chapter 15. Today […]
Since Dakota’s blog first began in 2011 I have been doing book reviews, (on our cat blog I have been reviewing books since 2010.) In the past year I greatly cut down the number of books I had been reviewing because of the enormous amount of time it takes to read the books and write […]
Author Kevin Meehan knows how it feels to not have much of a home. He never had a sense of protection or safety growing up. Often a difficult childhood makes one more sensitive to the needs of others, and gives them an innate understanding of another’s plight. In Kevin’s case, when he found (and rescued) […]

First Annual Horn Fair
Mercer Museum, Doylestown, PA
DVDs of the First "Horn Fair" Now Available!
When Roland Cadle planned, organized and operated the first "Horn Fair" at Mercer Museum in Doylestown, PA in March 1996, no one knew the impact this event would have on the interest in horn work in the future. It was his goal to create an event that would further interest and understanding of how professional horn work was performed in America during the period. Over 125 people attended that day, hearing a series of eight speakers making presentations, the event was a huge success.
There was such a great amount of interest generated at the first annual Horn Fair, that a second event was held the following year in Columbus, OH. It was at this event held in March 1997 that the formal creation of The Honourable Company of Horners took place. Because of his involvement and leadership in both putting on the first Horn Fair, and input and guidance in creating The Honourable Company of Horners, Roland Cadle is recognized as the "Founder" of the Horn Guild.
In order to make the first event happen, Roland even took out a loan against his home, to help finance the event. Included as part of that was the expense of having all eight speakers videotaped to document the information presented.
Now, as The Honourable Company of Horners celebrates its 20th anniversary at the Horn Fair and Conference in Carlisle, PA on March 5 and 6, 2016 it is very appropriate to have DVD disk copies of those original speakers available. The original five VHS tape version of the First Annual Horn Fair has been converted over to a set of two DVD disks. Combined there is over five and one-half hours of lecture and demonstration shown on these two disks. Video quality is still the same as on those first VHS tapes, and the information from these esteemed expert speakers and the images shown during those seminars is still quite valid and worthwhile.
The first disk contains three seminars:
Part 1: Tom Ames - speaking on the topic "The Spirit Within Hornworking" addresses many original items and Tom's interpretations on what the maker was thinking and striving to accomplish in producing the item.
Part 2: Mark Odle - a well-known contemporary artist presenting his views on horn work at the time.
Part 3: An interactive interview of Atlee Crouse by Roland Cadle - Atlee Crouse was a fourth generation member of the family that rand the last remaining horn horn shop in America. His reminiscences and descriptions of the comb making business are very important.
The second disk covers four seminars:
Part 4: Dr. Jay Hopkins - expert powder horn collector speaks on "Regional Characteristics of Powder Horns" in America.
Part 5: Russ Young - long-time student of horn items and professional photographer presents and "Audio Visual History of American Horn"
Part 6: Bruce Horn -a fine contemporary horn smith and artist lectures and demonstrates his techniques for engraving horn.
Part 7: Roland Cadle and Erv Tschanz - collaborate to lecture and demonstrate "Turning and Threading, and Tinting" horn.
If you have never had the opportunity to view these seminars, or want to have the ability to view them on current technology, now is the time to acquire a set of these DVDs.
The two-disk set on "Hornsmithing, The First Annual Horn Fair at Mercer Museum, Doylestown, PA" is available at the price of $29.95, plus $4.95 postage, total $34.90.
For those planning on attending the Horn Fair & Conference at AHEC in Carlisle, PA, March 5&6, 2016 prepaid orders will delivered at the event at the special 20th Anniversary price of $26.95.

The determination of the star formation history is a key goal for understanding galaxies. In this regard, nearby galaxies in the Local Group offer us a complete suite of galactic environment that is perfect for studying the connection between stellar populations and galaxy evolution. In this paper, we present the star formation history of M31 using long period variable stars that are prime targets for studying the galaxy formation and evolution because of their evolutionary phase. In this method, at first, we convert the near-infrared K-band magnitude of evolved stars to mass and age and from this we reconstruct the star formation and evolution of the galaxy.

David and Robert Emmitt McGlothlin may or may not be connected to John McLaughlin and Judith Leathers, but so much research has been done in an attempt to prove or disprove a connection, which I am unable to do either, I thought it might be beneficial for some if I posted the information I had found.
John McLaughlin was born near the border of North and South Carolina. A great deal of information that can help to sort out the McGlothlin clan can be determined from John McLaughlin’s pension file. On November 20, 1832 in a Tazewell County, Virigina courthouse, John testified that he believed to be 76 years old on his next birthday, January 26. This would put John’s birth at January 26, 1757.
On affidavits made on February 17, 1848 and June 10, 1858, Judith McLaughlin explains that although the proper way to spell her husband’s family name is McLaughlin, that very few people do so and that it is more commonly spelled McGlothlin or McGlathlin. She goes on to clarify that in the 1840 census the Marshall spelled the name with two o’s – McGlotholin.
February 3, 1858 an entry is made in the Tazewell County, Virigina Court that Judith “Judy” Leathers McLaughlin, front of a justice of the peace (Jefferson Matney), said she was 95 years of age, placing her birth year about 1763, and that she and John McLaughlin were married in South Carolina on or about April 1, 1783 by William Grimes, a minister of the Gospel. Old age and “bodily infirmity” kept Judy McLaughlin from being able to make her deposition to the court in person.
The North Carolina Secretary of State certified that John ‘McGlauhin’ served as a private under Captain Smith’s Company in the 4th Regiment during the Revolution. He enlisted May 6, 1776 and was discharged on May 14, 1779 in Guilford, North Carolina, shortly after the Battle of Guilford. In his effort to gain his Revolutionary Pension, John McLaughlin also testified that he had enlisted while living on Crooked Creek in Mecklinburg County, North Carolina and he had served under several different officers including Captain Michael Dickinson, Lieutenant William Henderson, Colonel Samuel Doak, General Sumpter, and General Green. In a battle with the British in Savannah, John was shot just above the right knee where the ball had passed through the flesh. Some 50 years later, this injury still caused discomfort to John.
After he was discharged, John resided in Cumberland County, North Carolina for three or four years before moving on to Randolph County, North Carolina. He later moved his family to Patrick County, Virginia, where he is listed on the 1791 and 1792 tax lists for the county. “From there he removed to the Western Country in the neighborhood as where his now, and has ever since resided.” This ‘Western Country’ was located in Russell County. John and his brother Jacob are first found in Russell County in the 1801 Russell County Virginia Personal Property Tax List for the Upper District, under “McLoflin”.
February 5, 1858 Jacob McGlothlin appeared in the courts of Tazewell County, Virginia and stated that he was 67 years old and was the third child born to Judith Leathers and John McLaughlin. He further stated that there were 13 children in all and that “the Eldest of which if living would now be Seventy three years of age”.
John McLaughlin was born about January 26, 1758 in North Carolina and died February 17, 1848 in Tazewell County, Virginia. He married Judith Leathers April 1, 1785 in South Carolina. According to family legend, Judith was born in Wales about 1763 and lived to be 109 years old, dying about 1872 in Sandy Hill, Russell County, Virginia. Judith and John had thirteen children.
- William was born about 1786 in Randolph County, North Carolina. He died December 5, 1814 in Norfolk, Virginia, possibly during the War of 1812.
- An unknown child was born between William and Jacob.
- Jacob was born in November 1790 in Randolph County, North Carolina. He married Elizabeth Clark February 12, 1820 in Tazewell County, Virginia. He died August 13, 1879 in Russell County, Virginia.
- An unknown child was born between Jacob and John.
- John was born about 1795 in Randolph County, North Carolina.
- Nancy was born September 30, 1801 in Russell County, Virginia. She married William Keene, Jr. between 1824 and 1828 in Russell County, Virginia. Nancy died September 23, 1894 in Keen, Buchanan County, Virginia.
- David was born about 1811 in Russell County, Virginia. He married (1) Jemima Corel about 1835 in Virginia, probably Russell County or Tazewell County. He married (2) Melinda (Meek) Ward July 19, 1853 in Johnson County, Kentucky. David died sometime after the 1860 census.
- Elias/Elia was born about 1812 in Russell County, Virginia.
- Robert Emmitt was born April 5, 1818 in Russell County, Virginia. He married Rebecca Ann Corel October 29, 1840 in Tazewell County, Virginia. Robert died April 13, 1900 in Lawrence, Kentucky, where he is buried in the Buckley Cemetery.
- Mary Jane “Polly” was born October 15, 1818 in Russell County, Virginia. She married Richard Ratliff October 10, 1839 in Tazewell County, Virginia. Mary Jane died in 1911 in Pike, Kentucky.
As you can see, there are still three children unaccounted for. I suspect that they were most likely born between Nancy (1801) and David (1811).

This song is just so jaw-droppingly beautiful that I want to share it with you.
If you’re looking to understand the culture and thinking of generations of poor white Americans in the age of Trump, then portions of this book will provide fascinating reading.
Still, I can’t reconcile the myopia of the wide-eyed American exceptionalist I found in the second half of the book, with the often astute social observer I met in the first.
This is less a review and more of a birds nest.
The book opens with a terrifyingly beautiful epigraph from Susan Sontag:
Illness is the night-side of life, a more onerous citizenship.
Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom
of the well and in the kingdom of the sick. Although we all
prefer to use only the good passport, sooner or later each of us is
obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves in that other place.
each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves in that other place.
I’ve been making music every Monday. Little snippets. Bits and bobs. No rhyme or reason. Just simply music for the sake of making sounds. I’ve been uploading these snippets to Google Drive and sharing them with my wonderful friend Danling (a.k.a Mundane Matters) for her to use or ignore as the mood takes. Here’s the first bit of my Mundane Music she’s used.


I honestly had no books in mind for this assignment! As I am relatively new to this field, I have many books for adults and educators on the subject, but no children's books. After a quick search online, I found In My Mind by Adonya Wong. I was drawn to it because I wanted something from the ASD perspective. As both of my children are undergoing screening for ASD, I am fascinated by how their minds work and I see a lot of the details described in this book in my daughter. The character in the book is a little boy who describes what he sees in his mind, compared to what you (the adult, or educator, or parent, etc.) see him acting out. For example, he describes going on adventures in his mind, as a cowboy, or having great conversations with aliens in outerspace, while the adult simply sees him flailing his arms, or making odd noises and speaking "gibberish". In his mind, he has lots of friends, but on the outside, he appears alone. All of these examples are things I see in my daughter. I used to be confused by her behavior, but I have come to learn there are great, colorful things going on inside her mind that I only wish I could see. I love how the book ends, because it says his world is full of joy and happiness, and the adult can see that too. And, in my opinion, that is really all that matters.
This would be a great book to use with children to help them understand autism; to show them that, even though it may sound like they are just making noise, or making random gestures, they actually may be exploring and imagining great adventures in their minds and we can join right along with them if we just use our imaginations.

My son is a huge reader. I asked him to guest blog for me last night, much to his excitement, about great books for boys his age (nine and a half) and here's what he came up with, in his very own words. All I did was type as he talked. Enjoy!
Bio: I’ve only written a few books, but the ones I have written have been pretty good. I like to write about things that haven’t really happened, like science fiction. I love science and I’m in the gifted program.
[Me: clearly, he has a self-image problem. We're working on that (*grin*). Seriously, though, all on his own a few years ago he started writing and illustrating graphic novels and selling them for a dollar a piece to raise money for cancer research. Our community newsletter gave him a write-up.]
Great Books for Boys by Ty
I’d say one of the best books for boys is Vordak the Incomprehensible’s How to Grow Up and Rule the World. It’s a good book with a lot of evil in it and it’s got some pretty wicked things in there, like teaching your brother that the word for shoes is “poop.” [Me: not available until August 24th. I received an early copy when I was at the Egmont offices and laughed aloud over something on the galley cover. This book is read-out-loud-to-your-friends funny.]
A great series would be the Percy Jackson series, because it’s got a lot of butt-kicking and violence. Just what every kid loves!
Another great series is the Pyrates series. It’s basically about four kids who discover a treasure map and an entire network of tunnels that contain an ancient treasure called The Eye of Eternity.
The Harry Potter series is another one I definitely recommend. It’s really cool, because there’s a lot of violence. [Aside from me, “Can we not dwell on the violence.” Him, “Mom, kids love the violence. It’s the #1 thing kids love.” “Oh, good.” (sarcasm, in case it’s not coming through)]. It’s awesome.
A great book would have to be The Dangerous Book for Boys. It puts a lot of cool things in our heads. Some of them are like dangerous stunts, and some are just plain how to catch yourself a girlfriend.
I’ve basically expended most of the books in my knowledge that were great. Thank you for reading this. Good-bye.
[Hey, it's me again. The things you discover when you have your son guest-blog.... When we've talked about the Percy Jackson books, which he encouraged me to read so that we could discuss, it's been all about how cool Poseidon is and how much he's learned about the gods and goddesses. Oh yeah, and if I could be a demi-god, which demi-god would I be? Who knew it was really all about the butt-whooping?]
March 1: P.S. to this - what Ty's reading this week: Goddess of Yesterday by Caroline B. Cooney.

(Proverbs 14:3) In the mouth of the foolish [is] a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.
(Proverbs 16:19-23) Better [it is to be] of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy [is] he. The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning. Understanding [is] a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools [is] folly. The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
(Proverbs 18:6, 7) A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. A fool's mouth [is] his destruction, and his lips [are] the snare of his soul.
(Proverbs 15:1-7) A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness. The eyes of the LORD [are] in every place, beholding the evil and the good. A wholesome tongue [is] a tree of life: but perverseness therein [is] a breach in the spirit. A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. In the house of the righteous [is] much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish [doeth] not so.
(Proverbs 14:7, 8) Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not [in him] the lips of knowledge. The wisdom of the prudent [is] to understand his way: but the folly of fools [is] deceit.
(Proverbs 14:15-18) The simple believeth every word: but the prudent [man] looketh well to his going. A wise [man] feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident. [He that is] soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated. The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
(Proverbs 13:14-16) The law of the wise [is] a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors [is] hard. Every prudent [man] dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open [his] folly.
(Proverbs 26:4, 5) Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
(Proverbs 26:11, 12) As a dog returneth to his vomit, [so] a fool returneth to his folly. Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? [there is] more hope of a fool than of him.
(Proverbs 14:29-34) [He that is] slow to wrath [is] of great understanding: but [he that is] hasty of spirit exalteth folly. A sound heart [is] the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones. He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor. The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death. Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but [that which is] in the midst of fools is made known. Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin [is] a reproach to any people.
(Proverbs 15:21-26) Folly [is] joy to [him that is] destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly. Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established. A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word [spoken] in due season, how good [is it]! The way of life [is] above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath. The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow. The thoughts of the wicked [are] an abomination to the LORD: but [the words] of the pure [are] pleasant words.
(Proverbs 3:13-20) Happy [is] the man [that] findeth wisdom, and the man [that] getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it [is] better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. She [is] more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days [is] in her right hand; [and] in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways [are] ways of pleasantness, and all her paths [are] peace. She [is] a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy [is every one] that retaineth her. The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens. By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
(Proverbs 2:6) For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth [cometh] knowledge and understanding.
(Jeremiah 51:15, 16) He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding. When he uttereth [his] voice, [there is] a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
(Psalm 147:5-8) Great [is] our Lord, and of great power: his understanding [is] infinite. The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground. Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God: Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

* Using the library
The LiquidRescale (lqr) library provides a C/C++ API for
performing non-uniform resizing of images by the seam-carving
++ Library features
The library takes images in plain array format as input
and converts them to a multi-size representation.
Following is a list of features:
* Easy to use API
* Areas in the image can be marked for preservation or
* Once the image has been fully processed, the scaling can
be done in real-time. In fact, the information can be saved
and read out later without any further processing
* The resizing is done with a single function which
automatically performs all the necessary operations; it
can also work in successive steps without wasting
* Possibility to tune the carving operation by letting the
seams be less connected, or more rigid, or both
* Can export and import the visibility map (the seams)
* Other images can be attached and undergo the same carving
process as the parent image
* The automatic feature detection algorithm can be tuned
by selecting among different energy gradient functions
* Reports progress through a customizable interface
* A signalling system permits to cleanly handle errors
The lqr library requires the glib-2.0 libraries
++ Normal setup
The build package uses autotools and libtool, so the installation
commands on Unix systems are simply
./configure --prefix=/usr && make && sudo make install
The last step requires administrative privileges.
(If the dynamic linker path includes /usr/local/lib, the --prefix
option is not needed.)
See the INSTALL file for a full description.
+ Using the library
In order to use the library functions and structures from
a C or C++ program, you have to add this include line in
At compile time, you can take advantage of pkg-config to set
the proper flags.
In the `examples' directory you can find a basic example program,
`liquidrescale-basic', and a full-featured demo program,
`liquidrescale', toghether with a simple Makefile. Both
programs are fully commented.
The "basic" version demonstrates how to use the strictly-needed
library functions, while the full version uses almost all of the
API methods provided. The Makefile shows how to set the compilation
See the README file in that directory for more information.
The complete description of the library functions, together with
some additional notes, can be found in the `docs' directory in
docbook format. The makefile in that directory (hopefully)
generates the html version, using docbook2html;

History of the State of New York - The New-York Historical Society
The history of New York starts about 10,000 B.C when the native people first arrived. By 1101 A.D. the two main cultural groups had become dominant. The Iroquois, or Mohawk Indians, settled near the falls of New York City, and the Europeans, or European settlers, settled in what we know today as New York City. During the colonial period, the city of New York began to be referred to as New York City.
During the beginning of the seventeenth century, the French brought slaves from Africa to the new world's largest city. The slaves were used for the building of the French fortifications in New York City. This was due to New York's Geographic importance. This led to the opening up of a blacksmith shop on Manhattan's lower east side (Bronx), where African slaves were able to make bells and other objects used for musical and religious ceremonies among their own culture. This is the beginning of the first cultural education when European and American Indians together started a practice of free association among themselves. This practice of inter-generational wealth transfer spread across New York's many neighborhoods which became the fertile grounds for the creation of some of the most cherished American histories such as that of the early settlers in New York City.
In the years after the French and Indian wars ended the slave trade was flourishing and it was during this time that the beginning of the history of New York City began. The majority of New York's early immigrants were either escaping European or American slavery or were simply seeking a better life in a new country. One of the areas in New York that were a hotbed for antislavery activity was the district of Westchester County, located on the Five Towns' Island in what is now Rockland County in Connecticut. On Five Towns' Island, an area of marshy land south of the village of Greenport, a group of slaves had set up a granny cabin and created a secret network of safe passage into New York City. As the British invasion of America approached in 1775, the Underground Railroad was created as an escape route for those slaves who decided to defy British rule. This network, made up of men called red coats, helped hundreds of thousands of slaves to reach freedom.
New York became one of the most important hubs of trade during the height of the American revolution. It was also a major battleground for the war and which took place throughout the five boroughs. After the war New York was briefly made the capital city of the united states. It is where George Washington was inaugurated.
The Nineteenth century was where New York truly boomed. During this period the population grew from only 60,000 to over 3 million which is still only a fraction of the city's current population. New York's position made it ideal for trade into the new nation and this brought jobs as well as many immigrants. New York is well know as the main entrance for immigrants into the us during this period.
It wasn’t until 1898 that New York consolidated with Brooklyn into the city that we know today. This was also around the time when the famous NYC subway system started to be built. New York saw an even bigger boom in the post world war II industrial boom that the whole united states experienced. This caused the city to start expanding even more into the surrounding areas out onto long island and up into NY state. The US new political power in the world meant that New York was chosen as the headquarters for the United Nations.
The New York Historical Society is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of the state of New York. Among its many services is genealogical research, preparing a legal history of the state of New York and various cultures and communities throughout New York. Other services of the New-York Historical Society include researching an item for inclusion in a book, magazine, or other publication, or preparing an essay for publication as well as conducting field trips to various sites in New York and visiting historic sites throughout New York and the U.S. Other services provided by the New York Historical Society include consulting with individuals, families, and organizations to provide accurate archival research, prepare oral presentations and participate in discussions as a means of educating others.


This website is dedicated to preserving and making widely available the history and music of the Inland Children's Chorus, which was an original and historically unique contribution by American industry to young people, the community, and the performing arts.
The Chorus was sponsored from 1936 to 1970 by the Inland Manufacturing Division of General Motors Corporation to give 8- to 16-year-old children of employees "a musical education and training which they otherwise might not be able to obtain and to make a contribution to the cultural life of Inland employees and the community." Inland engaged Broadway theatrical designer and Tony Award nominee Raymond Sovey to stage the concerts. The Chorus often performed with the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra and gained national acclaim on radio and television. The Inland Children's Chorus has been called "one of Dayton's greatest by-products of industry." (DPO70)
View a one-minute video profile of the Chorus by Dayton Daily News journalist Lisa Powell. Listen to Inland General Manager John D. O'Brien suggest why a corporation might value tradition and the performing arts (six-minute audio). Mr. O'Brien's comments were given at the 25th anniversary concert following one of the area's most damaging ice storms. See a 50th Anniversary booklet on the history of Inland.

Rachel Carson author, marine biologist, and conservationist, was born on a farm near Pittsburgh in Western Pennsylvania. She began writing stories when she was eight years old and during her college years, contributed to the school’s newspaper and literary supplement. In 1928, after graduating magna cum laude from the Pennsylvania College for Women (now Chatham University), Carson pursued a graduate degree at Johns Hopkins University. A few years later, she received a master’s in zoology, but her plans to pursue a doctorate were put aside in order to find work that would support her family financially during the Depression. After her father died in 1935, she assumed responsibility for her mother, sister and her sister’s two children. In 1937, her sister died, leaving Carson the only means of support for her mother and nieces.
Meanwhile, Carson’s career was gathering steam. A temporary job writing radio copy for the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries led to a permanent position as a junior aquatic biologist. While in this job, Carson wrote a variety of publications for the Bureau, as well as articles for newspapers and national magazines. In the late 1930s, one of her essays caught the attention of an editor at Simon & Schuster, who asked her to expand it into the book that was published in 1941 as Under the Sea Wind. In the late 1940s, Carson began work on her second book The Sea Around Us, an examination of the science and poetry of the sea, which was published in 1951. It quickly became – and remained – a New York Times bestseller. It also won the National Book Award for nonfiction, received many literary and scientific accolades, and made Carson a nationally known author. Thanks to royalties from the book, Carson was able to leave her job with the government and begin work on her third book –The Edge of the Sea- about coastal ecosystems, published in 1955.
Two years later, one of her nieces died, leaving a 5-year-old son. Carson adopted him and took on his care, along with that of her aging mother. During this time, she became interested in the controversy surrounding DDT and other synthetic pesticides and began investigating this issue. For the next three years, she threw herself into trying to understand the effects of pesticides on humans, wildlife, and the broader natural world. Midway through her work, she was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer, but resolved to try to outrun the clock and finish her book.
She completed Silent Spring in early 1962, and it was serialized that summer in The New Yorker. The book was published later in September. Its urgent message that the deadly effects of synthetic pesticides in the environment and the unchecked damage being wrought in the name of progress created a firestorm of widespread interest and controversy. Despite harsh criticism from supporters of DDT and other pesticides, Carson’s findings and the call to action that these findings presented to all Americans exerted enormous positive impact. In late 1962, President John F. Kennedy asked Congress to study pesticides and created the Science Advisory Committee. This legislative work, combined with citizen activism, resulted in new government regulations to limit specific pesticides’ damage to the environment, including the prohibition of the manufacture, sale, or distribution of DDT. A host of other actions followed, including Earth Day, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency. Virtually all of the important building blocks of today’s environmental movement are traced directly to Carson’s work. Leaders, such as Al Gore and Bill McKibben, attribute their activism directly to her leadership.
Tragically, Carson didn’t live to witness the worldwide impact of her work. She died of complications of cancer on April 14, 1964 in Silver Spring, Maryland at the age of 56.
Josephine Beall Wilson Bruce was an accomplished linguist, teacher, and activist. She became a renowned social hostess during her marriage to U.S. Sen. Blanche K. Bruce (R-MS), the second African-American senator and the first to serve a full term. A charter member of the Colored Women’s League of Washington, DC, she became the first vice president of the National Association of Colored Women, when it was formed in 1896. She was the first black teacher in the public school system in Cleveland and became the dean of women at the Tuskegee Institute, as well as a writer and successful businesswoman.
Mary Church Terrell was born to enslaved parents; her father, real estate developer Robert Reed Church, was considered to be the South’s first African-American millionaire. Terrell was one of the first African-American women to earn a college degree, receiving her bachelor’s and master’s from Oberlin College.
She taught at Wilberforce College in Ohio and then at the country’s first African-American high school in Washington, DC, where she became the first African-American woman to be appointed to the school board of a major city. She was the first president of the National Association of Colored Women of which she was also a co-founder. She was a member of National Woman Suffrage Association and participated in some of their most notable protest demonstrations.
She went on to co-found the NAACP and what would become the National Association of University Women. After women received the vote in 1920, she continued as an activist for civil rights, standing on picket lines until she was 80.
Frances Perkins was the first female—and longest serving—U.S. Secretary of Labor, as well as the first female cabinet member, architect of the New Deal and the Fair Labor Standards Act, a suffragist, early feminist, and a lifelong activist for the rights of working people.
She was born Fannie Coralie Perkins in Boston and attended Mount Holyoke University, majoring in chemistry and physics. It was a class in American economic history that she took in her senior year that sowed the seeds of activism for labor reform, after the students observed the working conditions in the textile mills along the Connecticut River.
After her graduation in 1902, Perkins taught school in Chicago and converted to the Episcopal Church, changing her name to Frances. In her spare time, she volunteered at immigrant settlement houses and assisted social work pioneer Jane Addams. In 1907, Perkins accepted a position as general secretary of the Philadelphia Research and Protective Association, founded to prevent immigrant girls and young black women migrating from the South from being forced into prostitution. In 1910, she earned her masters degree in political science from Columbia University. That same year, she became the executive secretary of New York Consumer’s League, lobbying for labor reforms in the state capital in Albany, where she made lifelong political allies.
In 1911, she was having tea with friends, when she heard fire engines racing to what would become known as the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. Perkins witnessed 47 young women jumping to their deaths to escape the blaze in a Greenwich Village factory; she would later say that was “the day the New Deal was born.” After the fire, former President Theodore Roosevelt recommended her as executive secretary to the newly formed Committee on Safety of the City of New York, where she was subsequently appointed to the Factory Investigating Commission. The Commission was instrumental in creating comprehensive reforms in workplace health and safety and toward this end, became a national model. When Al Smith was elected governor of New York, he appointed Perkins to the New York State Industrial Commission, making her the first woman with an administrative position in the state’s government and the highest-paid woman ever to hold public office. In 1928, Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected governor and offered her the position of New York Industrial Commissioner, charged with helping find ways to battle rising unemployment. Thanks to her urging, Roosevelt became the first public official to support unemployment insurance.
In 1933, newly elected President Roosevelt asked Perkins to serve as Secretary of Labor. Once sworn in, she worked on reforms such as the minimum wage, the 40-hour workweek, and an end to child labor. She also became the first woman in the presidential line of succession. Almost immediately, Perkins began championing programs for the unemployed, including the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, and the Special Board for Public Works. In 1934, she was appointed head of the Committee on Economic Security and in 1935, the Social Security Act was signed into law. Three years later, Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act, which established a minimum wage, set a legal limit on working hours, and abolished child labor.
During World War II, Perkins used all the tools at her disposal to issue visitor visas to Jewish refugees and expedite their entrance to the United States. FDR’s successor, Harry S. Truman, appointed her to the U.S. Civil Service Commission, a post she held until 1953, when she left for public speaking, writing, and teaching at the New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University.
Toni Morrison was an author, editor, teacher, professor, and a defining voice of the African-American experience, who received almost every major literary accolade. She was born Chloe Ardelia Wofford in Lorain, Ohio, to George Wofford, a welder, and Ramah Willis Wofford, a domestic worker. In 1953, Morrison received a B.A. in English from Howard University, and, in 1955, a master’s degree from Cornell University. She began her teaching career at Texas Southern University, and, in 1957, she began teaching at her alma mater, Howard University. She was married to architect Harold Morrison from 1958 to 1964, and they had two sons.
In 1965, she took a job with L.W. Singer, the textbook imprint of Random House in Syracuse, N.Y., transferring to the publisher’s New York City offices two years later, and becoming the fiction department’s first African-American female senior editor. In that capacity, Morrison championed bringing black literature and authors into the mainstream. Her first novel, The Bluest Eye, which she developed from a short story, was published in 1970. As a single mother raising two sons, she rose at 4 a.m. to work on the manuscript.
Her 1973 novel, Sula, was nominated for the National Book Award, and her third, Song of Solomon, won the 1977 National Book Critics Circle Award. Her first play, Dreaming Emmett, about the brutal murder of African-American teenager Emmett Till, was performed in 1986. The following year, she published Beloved, the first novel of what would become a trilogy. The book spent 25 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list and won the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for fiction and the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award. The second novel in the trilogy, Jazz, was published in 1992, the same year that her first book of literary criticism, Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination, was also released.
The following year, she became the first black woman from any nation to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. In 1996, the National Endowment for the Humanities distinguished her with the Jefferson Lecture, the federal government’s highest intellectual honor; her lecture topic was “The Future of Time: Literature and Diminished Expectations.” The same year, she received the National Book Foundation’s Medal of Distinguished Contribution to American Letters; in 1997, she released Paradise, the third novel in her trilogy. The first book in the trilogy, Beloved, became a motion picture in 1998.
In addition to continuing to teach and hold chairs at various universities, Morrison wrote a libretto for the opera, Margaret Garner, based on the real-life inspiration for Beloved and wrote a children’s book, Remember, based on the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision that outlawed racial segregation in public schools. In 2005, The New York Times Book Review named Beloved the best work of American fiction in the last 25 years. Three years later, her next novel, A Mercy, was published. She wrote several children’s books with her late son, Slade Morrison, and, in 2011, collaborated on the opera, Desdemona, a retelling of Shakespeare’s play, Othello, from the point of view of his wife and her African nursemaid. The novel, Home, was released in 2012; that same year, President Barack Obama presented her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Her last novel, God Help the Child, was published in 2015. In the wake of her death, the world mourned the loss of a major intellectual force and a preeminent voice for the African-American experience.
Frances Ellen Watkins Harper was a poet, abolitionist, author, orator, and social reformer, who was dedicated to women’s suffrage, abolition, and temperance. Born free, she became a teacher and published poet. She lectured throughout the East and Midwest on the need for education for African-Americans and became the director of the American Association of Colored Youth in 1894 and vice president and co-organizer of the National Association of Colored Women in 1897.
Gloria Steinem, a journalist, author, public speaker, and influential activist in the feminist movement, was born in 1934 in Toledo, Ohio. Her parents divorced when she was 10 and she was left to take care of her mentally ill mother. In 1956, she graduated magna cum laude from Smith College and earned the Chester Bowles Fellowship, which allowed her to spend two years studying in India. This experience planted the seeds for her later activism.
Steinem initially pursued a career in journalism, although most of her assignments were for what were called at the time “the women’s pages.” Her undercover exposé of working conditions at the New York City Playboy Club in 1963 catapulted her into the national spotlight. In 1968, she became a co-founder and editor for New York magazine.
Her coverage of the women’s liberation movement led to a 1969 event to promote abortion rights in New York, where she publicly shared her own abortion experience. It was the beginning of her involvement in the women’s rights movement and her recognition as a national spokeswoman for the cause.
Following the 1970 takeover of Ladies Home Journal by women’s rights activists protesting the lack of coverage for the movement, Steinem was inspired to start Ms. magazine. Almost 50 years later, the publication remains the standard for reporting on feminist issues.
In addition to her writing, editing, and public speaking, Steinem co-founded a number of important progressive women’s organizations including, the National Women’s Political Caucus, the Women’s Action Alliance for children’s education, the Women’s Media Center, Voters for Choice, and the Ms. Foundation for Women. She also helped establish Take Our Daughters to Work Day. The author of eight books, Steinem is the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom; Rutgers University created The Gloria Steinem Endowed Chair in Media, Culture, and Feminist Studies in her honor.
Jacqueline Cochran born Bessie Lee Pittman in the Florida Panhandle, holds more aviation distance and speed records than any pilot in history. She married Robert Cochran in 1920 and when the marriage ended, she became a hairdresser and eventually moved to New York City. She worked her way up to the prestigious salon at Saks Fifth Avenue and with the help of her second husband, Floyd Bostwick Odlum, started her own successful cosmetics business.
After a friend offered her a ride in an airplane, she began taking flying lessons and within two years, obtained a commercial pilot’s license. She soon joined female aviators of the day in competition, and worked with Amelia Earhart to open the prestigious, cross-country flying Bendix Race to women. In 1938, she won the Bendix trophy, set new speed and altitude records, and was acclaimed as the best female pilot in the United States.
Before the United States entered World War II, she joined the “Wings for Britain” program to ferry aircraft to England for defense and became the first woman to fly a bomber across the Atlantic. She volunteered for the Royal Air Force and spent the next several years working on recruiting qualified female pilots from America. In 1939, she began urging people in authority, including Eleanor Roosevelt, to support women pilots assuming non-combat aviation jobs to free male pilots for active duty. In 1943, after years of lobbying, the Women Airforce Service Pilots was created with Cochran as director. She supervised training for hundreds of female pilots between 1943 and 1944 and was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal, the highest non-combat award in the U.S.
In 1948, Cochran joined the Air Force Reserve as a lieutenant colonel, retiring as a full colonel in 1970, having been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross three times. She set numerous aviation firsts for women, including breaking the sound barrier while setting the world speed record, landing and taking off from an aircraft carrier, flying jet aircraft during a transatlantic flight and flying fixed-wing jet aircraft.
In 1956, Cochran ran for Congress in California’s 29th District on the Republican ticket, narrowly losing to America’s first Asian-American representative, Dalip Singh Saund. While never as famous as her friend Amelia Earhart, Cochran was inducted into several halls of fame, had a California airport renamed in her honor, and, in 1953 and 1954, the Associated Press named her Woman of the Year in Business.


I am reading Madeleine L’Engle’s ”Crosswicks Journal” books. The fourth one in the series (I read them in the wrong order), ”Two-Part Invention”, is mostly about her marriage to the actor Hugh Franklin. She starts the book with some funny stories and theatre gossip from New York in the ’40s; then a bit about their years as general store owners in the Connecticut countryside; but the rest of the book is a depressing and painfully detailed description of how her husband of forty years is dying in cancer, while she tries to understand where God is when good people are punished for sins they have not committed (she is assuming cancer is caused by environmental pollution and ”synthetic” life). But even in this dark book she says wonderful things about music and writing, like in ”Circle of Quiet” (the first book in the series):
”As soon as Bion, our baby, was in nursery school, I dropped out of the group of mothers who occasionally gathered together to drink coffee and gossip. This was writing time. Nobody else needed writing time. And I felt that I was looked at askance because I spent so much time at the typewriter and yet couldn’t sell what I wrote. I certainly wasn’t pulling my weight financially.
”In my journal I wrote: ‘There is a gap in understanding between me and our friends and acquaintances. I can’t quite understand a life without books and study and music and pictures and a driving passion. And they, on the other hand, can’t understand why I have to write, why I am a writer. When, for instance, I say to someone that I have to get home to work, the assumption is that I mean housecleaning or ironing, not writing a book. I’m very kindly permitted to be a writer but not to take time in pursuing my trade. Nor can they understand the importance of music, or why an hour spent with a Mozart sonata at the piano is not wasted time but time spent on a real value. Or really listening, without talking, to music. Or going for a walk simply to see the beauty around me, or the real importance of a view from a window.’ ”
– Madeleine L’Engle, Two-Part Invention: The Story of a Marriage (1988)

Disgraced college quarterback Logan Hunt was on his way to NFL stardom when he messed up big-time. Now the Texas star player with a bad temper has a new option: Seattle’s EOL College—as in End of the Line, to his fellow misfit recruits. It’s Logan’s last chance. If he can follow the rules.

Welcome to Docker-Map’s documentation!¶
Docker-Map enhances docker-py, the Docker Remote API client library for Python. It provides a set of utilities for building Docker images, create containers, connect dependent resources, and run them in development as well as production environments.
For connections through SSH tunnels, command-line tools, and additional deployment utilities, see Docker-Fabric.
The project is hosted on GitHub.
- Configuration of container landscapes, including dependencies between containers, networks, and volumes.
- Update check of containers, volumes, and networks against their running configuration. Consistency check of shared volume paths and re-creation of inconsistent or outdated containers.
- Utility client functions. Some of these (e.g.
cleanup_containers) have also been implemented on later versions of Docker directly; however this library can still provide more fine-grained control.
- Creation of complex Dockerfile’s through Python code.
- Simplified transfer of build resources (Context) to the Remote API.
Comparison to Compose¶
The functionality is quite similar to Docker Compose. When development of this library started, a predecessor of Compose was known as Fig. Docker-Map was mainly developed for the following reasons:
- Docker-Map is intended to provide an API that could be embedded into other available systems such as configuration management. This implies that configuration can be implemented through code (although YAML input is also available) and functions can be invoked through Python directly.
- Docker-Map is not a command-line utility, and it can operate on multiple clients. For example Docker-Fabric is one implementation that connect to other clients via SSH, but can also run on the same machine.
- Fig and also its successor Compose target development and staging environments. Docker-Map aims to handle staging to production environments by allowing for embedding external variables, e.g. from configuration management. Although it can be combined with other tools to be suitable for development and CI, Compose is more common to use and might be the first choice there.
- Installation and configuration
- Getting started
- Building images with DockerFile
- Working with the DockerContext
- Shortcuts for Dockerfiles
- Enhanced client functionality
- Managing containers
- Container actions
- Container configurations in YAML
- Advanced library usage
- Change History
Docker-Map is being used for small-scale deployment scenarios in test and production. It should currently considered beta, due to pending new features, generalizations, and unit tests.


Welcome to the website of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University May 8, 1945 Guelma, which includes six (06) departments and one branch.
- Department of Information and Communication Sciences and Library Science
- Department of History
- Department of Archaeology
- Department of Sociology
- Department of Psychology
- Department of Philosophy
- Human Sciences Branch
The university library is one of the most important scientific institutions. Given the current digital development, it has become necessary to preserve, classify and catalog books, to analyze them, and to share them for the benefit of those in need. The library is the heart of the university because it serves all academic services.
The institutional deposit (DSPACE) of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University May 8, 1945 Guelma, is an electronic service to improve the visibility of the university (depending on the content of the deposit).
The institutional deposit aims to give university students the opportunity to obtain academic publications and facilitate the process of scientific research by taking advantage of the enormous stock of digital deposit.
Brief introduction to the Department of Information Science, Communication and Librarianship of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University May 8, 1945 Guelma, as part of the Open Doors of the University 2019
On the occasion of the 57th anniversary of Independence Day: July 5, 1962, the Dean of the Faculty presents his sincere congratulations to the family of the faculty asking Allah to help us all to preserve the martyrs' trust and to work for the pride and prosperity of the fatherland.


Through the creation of the virtual spaces within this thesis, we cannot move forward without acknowledging their physical counterparts. To look together and imagine the future, we must reflect and acknowledge the land in which Toronto’s Chinatown sits and the land myself and all the participants of my thesis workshop occupy in the creation of the resulting interactive documentary (i-Doc), Future through Memory.
Tkaronto, the Mohawk word meaning “the place in the water where the trees are standing,” exists on the ancestral and traditional territories of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Haudenosaunee, the Anishinaabe, and the Huron-Wendat and is where OCAD University is located, within the Toronto Chinatown neighbourhood where this work was created for, in and about.
Toronto’s downtown Chinatown (also known as West Chinatown), is situated along Dundas Street and Spadina Avenue. Spadina, the Anishinaabemowin word for ishpadinaa, meaning high hill or ridge, and as a path where Indigenous communities would and continue to gather today. As a settler, a second-generation Chinese-Canadian, I am a guest to these lands and am grateful for the stewardship of the Mississauga of the Credit river hold. Toronto is in the Dish with One Spoon territory, the Dish with One Spoon treaty is an agreement between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee to share the territory and protect the land and is one in which all parts of this project and individuals involved share an obligation to withhold.
This work is an imagining and a reflection of a collective memory, and as much a collective desire to protect Toronto’s Chinatown as well as learning and sharing from our diasporic experiences and acknowledgement of a long history of solidarity between the Black and Indigenous community. As this project evolves past the confines of this paper and its digital counterpart, I wish this work to continue to reflect on how we can work in solidarity with Indigenous Nations in contemporary issues as well as continue to support the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Colour) community within the Toronto Chinatown neighbourhood.
Tkaronto，在Mohawk語系中的意思是“一個被水覆蓋樹木叢生的地方”。我們感謝這片遠古的土地上的原始領主，Mississaugas of the Credit，Haudenosaunee，Anishinaabe以及 Huron-Wendat。這是OCAD所坐落的地方，也是本項目中所研究的多倫多唐人街坐落的地方。
多倫多舊中區華埠（西區唐人街）位於Dundas街和Spadina大道。Spadina，在Anishinaabemowin語系中是指ishpadinaa，代表著高聳的丘陵和山脈，同時也是原住民社區過去和現在所聚集的地方。作為移居者，我們是這片土地的客人，我們感謝Mississauga of the Credit所做出的管理工作。多倫多上Dish with One Spoon領地上的地區，該條約是一個基於Anishinaabe，Mississaugas以及Haudenosaunee之間的統一意見上，分享以及保護這片土地的條約。
