Two hundred angels descended to the summit of Mount Hermon, which owes its name to this very occurrence because they bound themselves there to fulfil their purpose, on the penalty of Herem, anathema. Under the leadership of twenty captains, they defiled themselves with the daughters of men, unto whom they taught charms, conjuring formulas, how to cut roots and the efficacy of plants. The issue from these mixed marriages was a race of giants, three thousand ells tall, who consumed the possessions of men. When all had vanished, and they could obtain nothing more from them, the giants turned against men and devoured many of them, and the remnant of men began to trespass against the birds, beasts, reptiles, and fishes, eating their flesh and drinking their blood.
Then the earth complained about the impious evil-doers. But the fallen angels continued to corrupt mankind. Azazel taught men how to make slaughtering knives, arms, shields, and coats of mail. He showed them metals and how to work them, and armlets and all sorts of trinkets, and the use of rouge for the eyes, and how to beautify the eyelids, and how to ornament themselves with the rarest and most precious jewels and all sorts of paints. The chief of the fallen angels, Shemhazai, instructed them in exorcisms and how to cut roots; Armaros taught them how to raise spells; Barakel, divination from the stars; Kawkabel, astrology; Ezekiel, augury from the clouds; Arakiel, the signs of the earth; Samsaweel, the signs of the sun; and Seriel, the signs of the moon.
God in His wisdom hiving resolved to create man, He asked counsel of all around Him before He proceeded to execute His purpose–an example to man, be he never so great and distinguished, not to scorn the advice of the humble and lowly.
His spiritual qualities kept pace with his personal charm, for God had fashioned his soul with particular care. She is the image of God, and as God fills the world, so the soul fills the human body; as God sees all things, and is seen by none, so the soul sees, but cannot be seen; as God guides the world, so the soul guides the body; as God in His holiness is pure, so is the soul; and as God dwells in secret, so doth the soul.
Satan was jealous of the first man, and his evil thoughts finally led to his fall.
Satan was forced to acknowledge the superiority of the first man.
The Divine resolution to bestow a companion on Adam met the wishes of man, who had been overcome by a feeling of isolation when the animals came to him in pairs to be named. To banish his loneliness, Lilith was first given to Adam as wife. Like him she had been created out of the dust of the ground. But she remained with him only a short time, because she insisted upon enjoying full equality with her husband. She derived her rights from their identical origin. With the help of the Ineffable Name, which she pronounced, Lilith flew away from Adam, and vanished in the air. Adam complained before God that the wife He had given him had deserted him, and God sent forth three angels to capture her. They found her in the Red Sea, and they sought to make her go back with the threat that, unless she went, she would lose a hundred of her demon children daily by death. But Lilith preferred this punishment to living with Adam. She takes her revenge by injuring babes–baby boys during the first night of their life, while baby girls are exposed to her wicked designs until they are twenty. days old The only way to ward off the evil is to attach an amulet bearing the names of her three angel captors to the children, for such had been the agreement between them.
When God was on the point of making Eve, He said: “I will not make her from the head of man, lest she carry her head high in arrogant pride; not from the eye, lest she be wanton-eyed; not from the ear, lest she be an eavesdropper; not from the neck, lest she be insolent; not from the mouth, lest she be a tattler; not from the heart, lest she be inclined to envy; not from the hand, lest she be a meddler; not from the foot, lest she be a gadabout. I will form her from a chaste portion of the body,” and to every limb and organ as He formed it, God said, “Be chaste! Be chaste! “Nevertheless, in spite of the great caution used, woman has all the faults God tried to obviate.
The physical formation of woman is far more complicated than that of man, as it must be for the function of child-bearing, and likewise the intelligence of woman matures more quickly than the intelligence of man. Many of the physical and psychical differences between the two sexes must be attributed to the fact that man was formed from the ground and woman from bone. Women need perfumes, while men do not; dust of the ground remains the same no matter how long it is kept; flesh, however, requires salt to keep it in good condition.
Yet he discerned at once what the nature of woman was. She would, he knew, seek to carry her point with man either by entreaties and tears, or flattery and caresses.
Among the animals the serpent was notable. Of all of them he had the most excellent qualities, in some of which he resembled man. Like man he stood upright upon two feet, and in height he was equal to the camel. Had it not been for the fall of man, which brought misfortune to them, too, one pair of serpents would have sufficed to perform all the work man has to do, and, besides, they would have supplied him with silver, gold, gems, and pearls. As a matter of fact, it was the very ability of the serpent that led to the ruin of man and his own ruin.
Hasten now and eat of the fruit of the tree in the midst of the garden, and become independent of God
As long as Adam stood naked, casting about for means of escape from his embarrassment, God did not appear unto him, for one should not “strive to see a man in the hour of his disgrace.” He waited until Adam and Eve had covered themselves with fig leaves.
God wanted to give Adam the opportunity of repenting of his sin, and he would have received Divine forgiveness for it. But so far from repenting of it, Adam slandered God, and uttered blasphemies against Him.
God inflicted the curse upon the serpent without hearing his defense;
How true it is–he who lusts after what is not his due, not only does he not attain his desire, but he also loses what he has!
The earth is not the only thing created that was made to suffer through the sin of Adam. The same fate overtook the moon. When the serpent seduced Adam and Eve, and exposed their nakedness, they wept bitterly, and with them wept the heavens, and the sun and the stars, and all created beings and things up to the throne of God. The very angels and the celestial beings were grieved by the trans gression of Adam. The moon alone laughed
Instead of the tree of life, God gave Adam the Torah, which likewise is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her
The demons were made shortly before the Sabbath came in, and they are, therefore, incorporeal spirits–the Lord had no time to create bodies for them.
Eve yielded to the solicitations of Satan, and he led her to where her husband was. Adam recognized him at once, and amid tears he cried out
Raziel, the angel, then read from the book, and when Adam heard the words of the holy volume as they issued from the mouth of the angel, he fell down affrighted. But the angel encouraged him. “Arise, Adam,” he said, “be of good courage, be not afraid, take the book from me and keep it, for thou wilt draw knowledge from it thyself and become wise, and thou wilt also teach its contents to all those who shall be found worthy of knowing what it contains.”

FOUNDATION OF THE TANUNDA CLUB.
Petitioning for the formation of the Club
On the 17th of November, 1891, a group of Tanunda men met in deep discussion. Many things were perturbing them. All around were signs of a severe economic depression, perhaps the worst that Australia had ever known. They were concerned that the local grape growing and wine producing industries needed to be carefully nurtured. This was particularly important because many new ventures had begun in the last few years, most notably G. F. Cleland’s enormous winery at Chateau Tanunda.
The men who attended the meeting, among them citizens of the stature of John Basedow, Messrs Goerecke, Kassebaum, Ohlmeyer, Nettlebeck, Schrapel and Till, also expressed concerns about the attitude of local hoteliers, who did not seem to care about fostering the wine and brandy industry of the Barossa Valley. They believed the hoteliers’ self-interests to be traitorous and reprehensible.
As the group considered the perilous state of the times, they were aware of Tanunda’s strong community heritage and their deep interest in culture, music and social activity. Apart from the Institute building at the end of Murray Street, and the unruly local hotels, there was nowhere to go for civilised society and fellowship. How to remedy this situation was foremost in the minds of these men. Twenty of them, motivated to action, signed a petition requesting the formation of a club to ‘promote the convivial enjoyment of its members and to further the interests of the town generally’.
Three days later, on the 20th November, 1891, another meeting was held to decide on how best to respond to this petition. By this time, draft rules had been prepared and R. H. Goerecke read them out in English and German.
Draft rules of The Tanunda Club:
1. The association shall be entitled ‘The Tanunda Club’.
2. The object of the association shall be
a) To provide suitable premises containing rooms where-in shall be held meetings of the members and others to discuss questions of interest to the members.
b) To provide books, papers, periodicals, stationery, entertainment, games, refreshments, and any literary or scientific material, which may be useful or entertaining to members.
c) To encourage and promote Art, Science, Literature.
d) Generally to promote the happiness, comfort and welfare of the members and other colonists.
Goerecke also added the condition that members could participate in the activities of the club from the age of 18 years, if they paid the necessary entrance fees. The era dictated that social club members could be males only.

The amount of social work publications has vastly increased within the last 30 years - and it continues to increase (Eckl, Ghanem, & Löwenstein, 2019; Perron et al., 2017). It is nearly impossible for researchers to get a full overview of the literature published for one's own area of interest. The mass of publications but also fragmentation through different databases, publishers and increasingly specialized journals are considerable obstacles to efficient research. If scholars cannot get a full overview of the discourses, how should students or practitioners get one without being familiar with search engines and often complex strategies for how to identify topic-specific publications. The Social Work Research Map (SWORM) aims to solve these problems by mapping publications relevant to social work from the last 60 years and key scientific journals. On one single interactive website, the user is able to identify scholarly literature from across varied disciplines and sources related to one’s own interest. We also hope to contribute to an internationalization of social work science. Since many discourses are characterized by an ‘inward gaze’ and insufficiently acknowledge publications in other countries, SWORM can increase the visibility and accessibility of research from different geographical areas.
SWORM represents the results of a quantitative text analysis using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) by Blei, Ng and Jordan (2003). This type of topic modeling is especially suitable for huge data corpora, as researchers using this statistical procedure do not have to subjectively determine or specify topics; rather, the probability of certain topics is determined based on the words that occur together in the documents. LDA is based on a complex statistical model that allows for the investigation of semantic structures in the text. For an introduction in the background and application of LDA in social work see Eckl, Ghanem and Spensberger (2021). The underlying data comprise bibliometric information and abstracts from 23 social work-relevant journals from 1960 to 2020. We used the top twenty journals assessed by Hodge, Yu and Kim (2020). We added three journals that appear within the top ten list based on impact factor scores in the Clarivate Analytics report from 2019 (when you only consider social work journals listed in the Social Work Research Database; Perron et al., 2017). In sum, we used 24,472 publications for the analyses. The LDA identified 40 topics in our corpus, which means that, technically, each document is represented by a 40-dimensional vector. Each entry in such a vector denotes the probability that the corresponding topic occurs in the document. In order to visualize these 40-dimensional data points on the 2-dimensional plane, we applied a method called “t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding” (t-SNE), which, loosely speaking, aims to reduce the dimensionality of the data while preserving as much of its structure as possible. The recommendation system provided to authenticated users is largely inspired by the “ArXiv Sanity Preserver” developed by Karpathy (2019). Internally, it is based on a machine learning model called support vector machine (SVM). The intuitive idea is that an SVM is trained to discriminate between the documents a particular user has added to their personal library, and those that they have not. It does so by drawing a decision boundary such that added documents reside on one side of the boundary, while others reside on the other. The documents that a user has not added and that are closes to this decision boundary are recommended to the user, since they tend to be more similar to the documents that are already in the library.
You can find the results of this approach under the Map index tab. We hope that many will find it helpful for their purpose.

John Slyder bought the 75 acres, south of Gettysburg, in 1849. His wife’s sister was Lydia Leister whose farm George Meade used as his headquarters during the battle. The Slyder farm was in the path of Law’s Alabamians during the second day advance by Longstreet’s Corps. It was near Plum Run where the 15th Alabama came under fire by sharpshooters. The regiment turned to face them than advanced up Big Round Top instead of during with the rest of the brigade. Order from Big Round Top to find the flank of the Union army on Little Round Top, while the 47th Alabama attacked the center of the 20th Maine, the 15th Alabama went to their right and turned to come in on the flank of the men from Maine. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain’s quick action to extend his line saved his regiment and protected the flank of the rest of Vincent’s Brigade.
My novel, Courage on Little Round Top, goes into detail about the 15th Alabama, as well as the 20th Maine, and the events that brought both of them to the bloody slope of Little Round Top.

My reading list is full of new books that have recently come out as well as older titles that were recommended to me and I just haven't had a chance to get to yet. The book I read this week is called Turn About.
I have read many books by Margaret Peterson Haddix in the past, but I just now got to this one (published in 2000).
Guided Reading Level - X
This book is about an experiment in "unaging". A group of elderly nursing home residents were given a shot that has them age backwards. Originally, they were to be given "the cure" when they reached the age where they would want to stay, and they would remain that age forever. However, it is discovered that the cure will cause them to rapidly age and disintegrate.
The book is mainly about two subjects in the experiment living away from the agency as teenagers. They realize that they are going to need to find someone to take care of them before they get too young to take care of themselves. In the end, they find someone who is willing to take care of them, and everyone is optimistic about their future.
You can read more about this book here.
This book is exciting and very well-written. It was recommended to me by a colleague who uses it as a read aloud. I am concerned that the theme may be to mature for some of my fourth graders. (Some of the participants in the study do not handle this well. Although it is not a main point of the book, some commit suicide.) I think I will offer it to one of my colleagues who teaches older students. I loved the book, but my concerns are going to prevent me from using it as a read aloud or having it on the shelves for anyone to read. However, I think it would be very appropriate to do so in middle school.
Have you read this book? If so, I am curious about what you think.


I do believe that the term “reference material” is in need of revision to update it as encompassing new materials available, both print and digital. The use of books such as encyclopaedias should not be discounted as outdated compared to online sites containing factual information. However the use of print based reference materials can be used to provide information, to use as a cross-reference tool alongside digital materials to ensure authenticity and reliability of information published by unknown sources, to enhance and complement information found from digital sources.
Perhaps reference material as a term can be revised to include print and non-print resources that aim to provide comprehensive information in a variety of formats that cater to individuals’ needs. Different students are afforded different degrees of access to resources, particularly outside of the school environment. Not all students will have access to a computer, to the internet, to software, to factual books or reference materials. They may, however have access to one of these forms of reference material and therefore should value it as useful.
Should we use Wikipedia?
I think that TLs could consider using Wikipedia as an example of an online encyclopaedia that has its merits and has its faults. Students could be encouraged to choose a topic that have studied, or know certain facts about and go to Wikipedia and check the reliability of its presentation of these facts. Students could then go further and find other reference tools that are authentic to cross reference this material against Wikipedia and identify the strengths of the site and the weaknesses. Perhaps the site may report new information that other reference tools have not. Have a class discussion about how students can test the credibility of information presented by this site and others. It certainly would make for some interesting research if students exploring a topic of their choice and one they knew about well.
Online or traditional dictionary use?
Yes students would benefit from gaining skills by using both print and digital dictionaries as each presents its own skills, uses advantages and disadvantages. Students, who do not have access to the internet, however have a dictionary can still complete tasks requiring dictionaries. Students who do have access can still benefit from learning how to thumb through a dictionary and learn the mechanics of alphabetical order, skimming and scanning for letters and locating desired words. These skills are valuable in other areas of their learning and will not be learnt by allowing a digital dictionary to do all of the above for students.

Fyodor Dostoevsky completed his final novel The Brothers Karamazov in 1880. A work of universal appeal and significance, his exploration of good and evil immediately gained an international readership and today remains harrowingly alive in the face of our present day worries, paradoxes, and joys, observes Dostoevsky scholar Robin Feuer Miller .

Last week I had the pleasure of speaking at the Transatlantic Dialogues interdisciplinary conference in Liverpool. The conference was jointly arranged by the Ironbridge International Institute for Cultural Heritage at Birmingham University and the Collaborative for Cultural Heritage Management and Policy, at the University of Illinois. There were loads of papers on questions of transatlantic heritage, from the tale of John Quincey Adams as a tourist in Paris to American views on the British Royal Family. My own paper, which I’ve included below, looked at an American tourist in Europe, walking the world of Sherlock Holmes.
In the late 1970s David Hammer, an American lawyer and life-long fan of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories, was taking a cruise down the Nile in Egypt. As he admits, Hammer was a particularly fussy customer. After complaining many times about the way he and his fellow tourists were “shepherded” about, one of the tour guides put Hammer on the spot by demanding what type of tour he would like to be on. Hammer suggested a tour of Sherlock Holmes sites in England. This, he claims was the genesis of his series of travel books, in which he told the tale of locating sites of Sherlockian significance across North America, Britain and Europe. One of these books in particular, called A Dangerous Game: Being a Travel Guide to the Europe of Sherlock Holmes, is of interest to us today because of the way in which Hammer’s particular style of travelling and writing shapes the fictional world of Sherlock Holmes into a form of intangible, transatlantic heritage.
Hammer himself was probably the first person to make this point about his travel books. In his memoir, called, The Game is Underfoot, he writes that, “I never really believed that Holmes had lived. I still don’t, but I do believe that he was real; so real, in fact, that if he has not become a figure of history, he has of heritage, which surely constitutes a significant form of reality. Besides, as I once wrote in the same context, there is meaning in myth and fact in fiction”. But what kind of ‘heritage’ do the Sherlock Holmes stories constitute? Robinson and Andersen, in their exploration of literary tourism as the interaction between the art of literature and the practice of tourism, specifically pinpoint heritage as one way literature has been commodified for tourist experiences. They argue that literature possesses, “some sort of public legacy expressed in emotional as well as spatial terms”. In this way, literary works can be seen as “cultural reference points that sit with conceptions of social and cultural identity, ideas and ideals of nationality and nationhood, and popular discourses of historical development”. It is this interaction between cultural reference points and these conceptions where the work of literary heritages takes place.
Literary tourism’s interaction with literary heritage appears, to Robinson and Andersen, to focus in part on the idea of re-living an imagined or half-remembered, past. As they write, “nostalgia is important here and it seems like literary tourism increasingly plays to an audience that wishes to travel in time as well as space”. Reading the first pages of Hammer’s Dangerous Game it would seem he agrees. Because he says that Sherlockians, “are essentially time-travellers, committed to another time, and perhaps worse, to places where we never lived, and for some, have never seen”. This interplay between past and present is particular interesting in relation to literary heritage given the difficulty in discerning the boundary between fact and fiction in literature – and in the performance of literary tourism. Robinson and Andersen draw this boundary between tourists motivated by a biographical interest in the author and those motivated by the literary work itself and exploration of its fictional world.
So, with all this in mind, today I want to read Hammer’s travel guide to Europe as a text that re-lives an imagined past, as a form of intangible, Sherlockian heritage. I will explore how Hammer’s writing places the fault line between fact and fiction, the past and present, at unusual and unexpected places. And I will show that the result, which is a blending of fact and fiction, history and tourism, draws on Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories, on historical artefacts and on Hammer’s own experiences moving across Sherlock Holmes’s Europe.
Holmes’s Fictional World
At first glance, Hammer’s travel writing, like many classic literary tourists before him, appears to put great value on the fictional world he wants to explore. Indeed, A Dangerous Game is a very good example of Hammer’s work for our purposes here, because unlike his earlier travel books, the first two sections of this book, taking up almost half the pages, are structured by the events of Doyle’s 1891 story The Final Problem. The book is filled with chapter titles such as, ‘The Flight’, ’Still Deep in Snow’, ‘A Charming Week and a Lovely Trip’, and ‘I Found Myself in Florence’. These refer to lines or events from two of Doyle’s stories The Final Problem and The Adventure of the Empty House. In these chapters, Hammer follows Holmes and Watson’s footsteps across Europe as they flee from Moriarty in London, only to meet again with Moriarty, and with disaster at the Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland. By structuring his text in this way, Hammer seems to be following the a practice common to other Sherlockian guide books, where Doyle’s stories take centre stage and real-world sites or events are negotiated through meanings derived from those stories.
Hammer’s work draws on a rich history of Sherlockian fans interpreting the world through meanings found in the Sherlock Holmes stories. Julian Wolff’s 1948 map, Operation Reichenbach (above) is a good visual example of this practice. Like Hammer, Wolff’s map is structured by the events of The Final Problem. Like Hammer, Wolff marks Holmes and Watson’s path across Europe to Switzerland. Place markings such as Brussels or Paris are justified by the inclusion of direct quotes, which indicates that they are referenced in the story. Over Paris, for example, is written the words, “Moriarty… will get off in Paris”. And here too, Wolff includes certain real-world sites and events to give cultural weight to his representation. For instance, he has marked the site of the Battle of Waterloo, perhaps as a sign of eventual British victory out of apparent defeat, and to tie the pan-European importance of Holmes’s mission in to earlier, historic British endeavours.
There is another, more subtle way, in which Hammer’s writing seems to bring to the fore the fictional world of Sherlock Holmes. We can get an idea of this from the very first page, where the full title of the book is, A Dangerous Game: Being a Travel Guide to the Europe of Sherlock Holmes. It would seem that Hammer has forgotten about Arthur Conan Doyle. This is because Hammer’s travel writing is embedded in a tradition of fan writing known as Sherlockiana, produced by fans of Sherlock Holmes who call themselves Sherlockians. This peculiar fandom is characterised by a practice known as ‘playing the game’: that is the ludic belief that Sherlock Holmes is not a literary character, but was rather a historical figure living at the end of the Victorian period. Hammer does admit that this might seem odd to the uninitiated, when he says at the beginning of A Dangerous Game, “[a]dmittedly, the deliberative confusion of reality with fancy is a supreme idiocy”.
By the time Hammer was writing his guide to the Europe of Sherlock Holmes, in the early 1990s, Sherlockians had been playing the game, primarily in Britain and America but also in many other parts of the world, for more than fifty years. All across America, for instance, fan societies with names such as The Hugo’s Companions, The Reigate Squires or The Midlothian Mendicants produced quarterly periodicals or newsletters with names like The Grimpen Mire Gazette, The Devonshire County Chronicle and The Racing Form that were circulated locally, nationally and internationally to subscribers. We should not forget, of course, the Baker Street Irregulars, the most senior Sherlockian society in America of which all these other societies registered as ‘scions’ or offshoots, and its own quarterly Baker Street Journal. These periodicals featured scholarly articles that often discussed aspects of Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories (known to fans as ‘The Canon’), new pieces of fan fiction, games and puzzles and letters pages in which lively debates about aspects of Holmes and Watson’s lives and times raged. As a senior member of the Baker Street Irregulars and an irregular contributor to the Baker Street Journal, Hammer’s books owe much to the practice of Sherlockiana.
Perhaps the central feature of ‘playing the game’ is denying Doyle his role as author of his stories, and the creator of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. Displacing Doyle is in fact a prerequisite for fans’ ludic belief in Holmes’s reality. How could Holmes be a real person if he is also the artistic creation of someone else? Yet, the tongue-in-cheek nature of Sherlockiana recognises at the same time the historical role that Doyle played in bringing Holmes to public prominence. Thus Sherlockians accommodate Doyle in their histories by referring to him as “Watson’s friend and literary agent”, or simply as “the literary agent”. In this way they effect a double-displacement for Doyle: from his authorial role and from his own name. By including Doyle in their fandom, albeit out of place, Sherlockians have recognised that playing the game is characterised not, as Hammer put it, by the deliberative confusion of reality with fancy, but rather by their deliberate blurring. Hammer notes this himself further on in his introduction to A Dangerous Game, when he writes of the locations featured in his book, “there are those who claim they were visited not by Holmes but by his biographer or, God save the mark, by his literary agent, and no one can gainsay at this remove which is true”.
So already we can see that while it might look like Hammer is straightforwardly exploring the world of Sherlock Holmes as a fictional world, it is actually rather more complicated. Fact and fiction support and deny each other in equal measure. Hammer is not interested in Doyle’s life and times as a way to understand Holmes’s world, yet he needs to recognise Doyle’s attachment to the books, because that bolsters his Sherlockian belief that Holmes was real. If Doyle was the literary agent, who got Watson’s narratives into print, it explains how Holmes could have actually lived and, at the same time, appeared in books with Doyle’s name stamped all over them. In A Dangerous Game, Doyle appears as a spectre at the du Sauvage hotel in Meiringen, near the Reichenbach Falls. Hammer writes that, “Some years ago, I concluded that the Englisher Hof [the hotel mentioned in The Final Problem] was the du Sauvage, largely on the basis of the English Chapel”. Hammer must have known that this was the hotel at which Doyle and his ailing first wife, Touie, stayed on their trip to Switzerland in 1891, the very trip where Doyle had the idea for Holmes’s death scene at the Falls. Yet to admit this would be to shake the edifice on which Holmes as heritage is built.
Moving the fault lines: blending fact and fiction, history and experience
The main effect of Hammer displacing Doyle from history into fiction is that he is then free to move Holmes and Watson from fiction into fact. Throughout his travel writing Hammer implies that Watson actually wrote the stories he is discussing. The logical step for Hammer to take, which he does take, is to accept that these stories, written by a real man about the life of another, real man, are a form of historical record. We can see this quite clearly when Hammer begins his section on ‘The Withdrawal’ with a short chapter on the ‘Timeline’ of events. Like earlier chronologists of Holmes’s life, such as Jay Finley Christ or William Baring-Gould, Hammer is quite demanding with the texts in looking to pin down Holmes and Watson’s movements to set dates. For instance, in summarising Holmes and Watson’s journey between Brussels and Strasbourg, Hammer writes that, “Moving on the third day to Strasbourg, which is what Watson reported. They should have arrived there on the 28th [of April 1891, that is], but Watson inconsistently places them in Strasbourg on Monday the 27th”. Later, he declines to guess at the length of the pair’s stay in Geneva for, “we have no hard information and insufficient data from which to extrapolate”. In treating the text of The Final Problem, which he describes as Watson’s writings, as historical fact, Hammer reflects the wider trend in Sherlockian attitudes towards these stories. Fellow Sherlockian Les Klinger neatly captured this when he described the stories as a “true record” of Holmes’s life.
Hammer further shifts the fault line between fact and fiction, by using a variety of real-world data to build up his representation of Sherlockian Europe. Unlike earlier explorers of Sherlockian geography, whom Robinson and Andersen would categorise as “tourists of the mind” who recognise the primacy of the fictional world, Hammer was not content to sit at home and pour over atlases. He went out into the world to see the sites for himself. As he wrote at the beginning of A Dangerous Game, “for the site-maven… the research must be confirmed or negated by physical inspection. There must be both search and research”. This is because Hammer’s main interest is in expanding the geography of the world of Sherlock Holmes beyond the confines of Doyle’s page; by filling the many gaps left around the edges of the text. In every place he visits, Hammer’s first move is to ask “where did Holmes and Watson stay, and what did they do there?”. To answer this question Hammer relies on a variety of evidence, including real-world texts and materials, Sherlockian assumptions about Holmes’s life, and his own movement through the landscape.
Chief among the real-world materials are Hammer’s trusty contemporary Baedeker guidebooks. Important to Hammer’s quest for Sherlockian heritage is the possibility that, “The flavour of the place and the time can still be extracted”. This is because for the Sherlockian tourist, “the ambiance is as important as the analysis”. Baedeker’s guides, with their historical information, their prices in pounds, shillings and pence and the clues they provide to the travelling habits of late-Victorian bourgeoisie, are a vital tool for Hammer to extract the flavour of the place and time of Sherlockian Europe. Other material artefacts Hammer uses include the hotel buildings themselves: whether they seem to be of the right period and design is an important factor in their selection as a Sherlockian site.
In an example from the chapter on Brussels, for instance, we can see this triangulation process at work, involving all these forms of extra-textual, real-world evidence. Hammer starts by comparing the hotel offerings recorded in Baedeker with his understanding of Holmes’s preferences. He writes, “Baedeker for the appropriate period lists two hostelries in Brussels which would have possessed undeniable English appeal”. These are the Grand Hotel Britannique and Culliford’s English Hotel. “Either of these places”, says Hammer, “would have offered the requisite Anglophile amenities. Holmes was not one of those who would have been impressed by staying behind… the royal palace, and his clear preference had always been for inns”. After this process of negotiation between Baedeker and the portrait of Holmes offered by Doyle and other writes, Hammer declares, “I believe that there is no question but that he would have selected Culliford’s, if only because it was less pretentious”. Finally, Hammer confirms his ‘identification’ of this Holmesian site two pages later when he sees the building itself. He writes, “perhaps it was the rain which gave a sodden aspect to the buildings. Culliford’s English Hotel was no longer there, but the building was, and it was unmistakably what the Belgians thought was English”.
As we can see from this last example, a key piece of evidence in Hammer’s quest to define the geography of Holmes’s Europe is his own movement through it. He collates data from a variety of sources, historical and contemporary, fictional and factual. But the final analysis lies with his ability to walk the supposed route, travel on a particular train or see, possibly go inside, a certain hotel. A very good example of this is his approach to unpacking the route taken, and sites visited, during Holmes and Watson’s week-long tour of the Rhone Valley. Hammer quotes the relevant passage from Doyle’s story in his discussion of timelines, when he quotes Watson saying, “For a charming week we wandered up the valley of the Rhone, and then… we made our way over the Gemmi Pass… and so by way of Interlake to Meiringen”. There is a problem here, says Hammer, in that the agreed dates of this trip allow only four days between the pair leaving Geneva and arriving in Meiringen, near the Reichenbach Falls. Hammer’s solution is to walk the route himself. His record of this experiment, in a chapter called, “A charming week and a lovely trip”, shifts the balance of evidence away from Doyle’s texts more heavily on to Baedeker and Hammer’s own experience of the terrain.
In another, later example, Hammer tries to solve the puzzle of which path Holmes took over the Alps, when getting away from Colonel Sebastian Moran after his tussle at the Falls. In Doyle’s story The Adventure of the Empty House, all that Holmes tells Watson is, “I took to my heels, did ten miles over the mountains in the darkness, and a week later I found myself in Florence, with the certainty that no one in the world knew what had become of me”. Before arriving at the Falls Hammer had made up his mind that there was only one possible route by which Holmes could have escaped: by continuing on the only path from Meiringen to Rosenlau. Yet, he notes that another Sherlockian fan suggested Holmes took the Grimsel Pass. There was only one thing for it: as Hammer writes, “I recognised that the matter could never be definitively resolved unless I could make enquiries in situ and to walk it myself”. Both these examples indicate that for Hammer, the self-professed “site-maven”, the world of Holmes is not entirely fictional, it is contaminated at every point with real-world evidence, and demands to be lived in as much as to be read about.
So now I really should draw these strands together. In this paper I have attempted to show that David Hammer’s Dangerous Game is an example of literary tourism and travel writing that breaks the mould. Rather than being prompted by an interest in the life and times of a favourite author, Hammer, in the tradition of Sherlockian fandom, consciously writes Doyle out of literary history and into the world of Sherlock Holmes. And instead of seeking a deeper engagement with a favourite book, and trying to get a greater connection with the fictional world it creates, Hammer treats the Sherlock Holmes stories as starting points, as historical sources, blurring the boundary between fiction and fact, and between history and his own experiences.
This blurring points towards one of the claims I am making here today: that Hammer’s work represents a particularly lively form of literary tourism. Of course, the relationship between text and tourism is complex; often tourist-readers experience literary sites as additions or expansions to texts; otherwise, as Robinson and Andersen say, they can experience reading as a kind of tourism: by travelling to fictional worlds. But for Hammer, literary tourism rather becomes a kind of reading; an innovative way to engage with the text. Because not only does Hammer walk in the footsteps of Holmes; his co-production of Holmes’s world, through the discovery of new sites and the reinterpreting of Holmes’s activities through real-world artefacts and knowledges, means that Holmes begins to walk in Hammer’s footsteps, too. In his own way, Hammer, like a good Sherlockian, keeps the master alive; his own way involves walking through his world.
Finally, by placing the fault lines of fact and fiction and of history and present in unexpected places, Hammer’s travel writing creates a new form of intangible, transatlantic heritage. By reading the European landscape through the Sherlock Holmes stories, and by investing in the belief that Holmes was not a character of fiction but rather a Victorian man, Hammer produces new geographical knowledges that sit on the borders of myth and of history. It is here, of course, that heritage is born. But this particular heritage is not devoted to a nation or a telling of history: it is the inheritance of the Sherlockians, those fans of Sherlock Holmes, those who believe in the stories as “true records of one man’s life”. This particular community transcends national boundaries and, as Hammer, an American in Europe, demonstrates, transcends the oceans too.


How many books have we read where the young protagonist's secrets in her diary are uncovered, causing her unbelievable angst at having her very private thoughts revealed to the world? It's a common theme, common enough to make most of us tremble and throw our diaries out the window.
But don't do it!!!!
Why? Why would you want to continue writing down your innermost thoughts and feelings and risk exposure???? Because those very thoughts and feelings are ones you will want to recall when you are an author later in life!
Time moves on. We grow. We change. What was important to us years ago, may not be of the same value and importance it once was. So what if down the road, you want to write books for children or even have a child as one of your characters in an adult novel? Writings in diaries or keeping journals provide windows into the child we were and the people who populated our world at that time. It is essential as a writer to be able to recall sights and smells, the joys and sorrows of younger years. Using your old diary or journal entries will allow you to tap into those memories and write about them with truth in your voice.
Anne Frank never expected her diary to be such a public piece of work. And yet how much did we as readers learn about her imprisonment in that small room, the fears and triumphs of hiding from the Nazis? This book was invaluable to generations of readers in understanding how real people dealt with the horrors of World War II.
Likewise for writers, these diaries will inform and remind you. So don't throw out those secret writings! Instead, continue to jot down everything you are feeling, seeing, tasting, smelling as you journey through these years, knowing that you are saving up little pebbles of recall for when you will need them as a writer.
But just to be safe - I would get a diary with a lock and key!!!!

机器降重哪个软件好用www.bepass.cn,Plagiarism is a growing concern in the academic world. It refers to the act of presenting someone else’s work as one’s own without proper citation of the source. Academic institutions have strict policies against plagiarism, and it is not only unethical but also constitutes an academic offense. Therefore, the need to check for plagiarism has become increasingly important, and this paper will discuss the importance of plagiarism checkers in academic writing.
Firstly, plagiarism checkers ensure that the originality and authenticity of the text are preserved. The tool is designed to detect similarities between the submitted text and other sources, including published works, online databases, and student papers. By doing so, plagiarism checkers confirm that the submitted text is the work of the student and not copied from other sources. This helps to maintain the academic integrity of the educational institutions and avoids reputational damage to the students who engage in plagiarism.
Secondly, plagiarism checkers improve the quality of academic writing. By detecting plagiarism, the tool helps to identify areas where the student needs to revise or reword the text to improve its clarity and coherence. Therefore, students can improve their writing skills by learning how to avoid accidental plagiarism, how to paraphrase properly, and how to use citations and references correctly. Access to plagiarism checkers helps develop better writing habits and academic skills that are essential for success in the academic world.
Thirdly, plagiarism checkers prevent academic dishonesty. The tool serves as a deterrent to students who would otherwise be tempted to plagiarize since they know that they will be caught. Therefore, the incidence of plagiarism and academic fraud is reduced, promoting academic honesty and fostering a culture of intellectual honesty.
Finally, plagiarism checkers save time and resources in the academic institutions. Checking for plagiarism manually is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Thus, the application of plagiarism checkers saves lecturers, instructors, and supervisors time that they can use to focus on other aspects of their work, such as marking, giving feedback, mentoring, and research. This makes academic work more efficient and improves the quality of education for students.
In conclusion, plagiarism checkers are essential tools in the academic world. They help preserve the authenticity and originality of text, improve the quality of writing, prevent academic dishonesty, and save time and resources. Educational institutions, therefore, should encourage the use of plagiarism checkers in academic writing, and students should embrace the culture of academic honesty by submitting original works that reflect their thoughts and ideas.论文查重降重软件免费毕易过

Miller/Brailsford: In Search of the Southern Serpent (Flexifold)
In Search of the Southern Serpent
A journey into the Power of Place
Hamish Miller & Barry Brailsford
Published May 5th 2006
This journey leads through some of the most powerful earth energy sites in the world, to discover the active, ever-changing powerful manifestations of the earth energy fields in New Zealand.
The planet's nervous and meridian systems in that beautiful country seem to respond to our human consciousness more readily than anywhere else. A sensitive dowsing rod finally leads to a life-changing meeting with the minds of the ancestors who have a profound understanding of their close connections with other realms and the cosmos. They knew the importance of "the power of place" and this beautifully illustrated book is a tribute to the incredible breadth of their knowledge.
“In Search of the Southern Serpent” is a glimpse into the unseen, an exciting journey beyond the five senses that’s open to everyone.


My Dad (James Francis O’Connor (1926-2012)) taught me a poem. Not as a child, not by telling me about it. Rather, from the depths of Dad’s dementia before his death. Even on days when his world was full of disorientation and confusion. He would randomly recite a few lines “the woman was old and ragged and gray, and bent with the chill of the winter’s day.”
Given my Dad’s sense of humor and penchant for rhymes about drinking, at first I thought it was a limerick of some sort. But it was not a poem or song that I’d heard from Dad before his dementia. And Dad could no longer recall what this line was from or what it was about. But from time to time he’d recite again “the woman was old and ragged and gray, and bent with the chill of the winter’s day.” And sometimes he’d continue “the street was wet with the recent snow and the woman’s feet were aged and slow.”
As we found the following poem on line – I was amazed. Amazed that this poetry that I had never heard from Dad before his dementia – was there – buried in pieces in the recesses of his memory. From my Dad, who was raised in the Great Depression by his widower Father. My Dad, who never really knew his Mother. (His Mother died of tuberculosis after exposure working in the “TB Sanatorium” in Howell, MI in 1928, when my Dad was a 2 year old boy). Yet here was this poem – still in his long term memory – about helping other people – because “she’s Somebody’s Mother.”
By Mary Dow Brine (1816-1913)
The woman was old and ragged and gray
And bent with the chill of the Winter’s day.
The street was wet with a recent snow
And the woman’s feet were aged and slow.
She stood at the crossing and waited long,
Alone, uncared for, amid the throng
Of human beings who passed her by
Nor heeded the glance of her anxious eyes.
Down the street, with laughter and shout,
Glad in the freedom of “school let out,”
Came the boys like a flock of sheep,
Hailing the snow piled white and deep.
Past the woman so old and gray
Hastened the children on their way.
Nor offered a helping hand to her –
So meek, so timid, afraid to stir
Lest the carriage wheels or the horses’ feet
Should crowd her down in the slippery street.
At last came one of the merry troop,
The gayest laddie of all the group;
He paused beside her and whispered low,
“I’ll help you cross, if you wish to go.”
Her aged hand on his strong young arm
She placed, and so, without hurt or harm,
He guided the trembling feet along,
Proud that his own were firm and strong.
Then back again to his friends he went,
His young heart happy and well content.
“She’s somebody’s mother, boys, you know,
For all she’s aged and poor and slow,
“And I hope some fellow will lend a hand
To help my mother, you understand,
“If ever she’s poor and old and gray,
When her own dear boy is far away.”
And “somebody’s mother” bowed low her head
In her home that night, and the prayer she said
Was “God be kind to the noble boy,
Who is somebody’s son, and pride and joy!”
“Somebody’s Mother” is more than the adage of treating others as we wish to be treated. It really exemplifies the notion of being our brother’s keeper – and a notion that has been core to a standard I set for how I treat and relate to others, and to my patients –in that I treat them the way I would want someone to treat my Mother. And Father, Brother, Sister, Daughter, Son…
Part of Dad’s legacy. Lessons taught through role model, words, and deeds.
Happy Father’s Day.
Note: I originally wrote this early in 2012 in the months after Dad's passing. Like my Mom and Dad, the words have aged well as a reflection for both Mother's Day and Father's Day. -- Michael.

The book opens with Kathy reminiscing about how she got to this point. Kathy is an 8th grade girl from Morgan Hill California, who was shipped off to an abstinence camp because her parents thought it would be a good experience for her. Even though as she says, she was a ‘good girl’ and didn’t even sneak makeup on at school like the other girls.
The day she was dropped off at camp was the last time she ever saw her parents or her sister and brother. A week after starting camp, the cell phones stopped getting signals and the mail truck didn’t arrive. The camp admin, and all but one of the counselors left to go to the post office and pick up the mail. They never returned. The lone counselor was only 20 years old, and taking care of 48 kids all by herself quickly got to her. She took to her bed and refused to leave her cabin except to use the bathroom.
One of the older boys left the camp to see what had happened to the other adults. It took him 3 days to get almost to the nearest convenience store, when he saw a weird fog across his path. It was thick and low to the ground. A doe was nearby and he stopped to watch it. The doe walked into the fog and soon was freaking out and trying to escape, but fell over. He thought she was dead, and then something unseen seemed to drag the body deeper into the fog. He returned to the camp then and told the other kids.
One boy, Mike, soon became the unofficial leader. He said they should put a guard on the food, start rationing as they didn’t know how long they would be alone and how long the food would last. The camp started to split, the boys having nightly meetings and the girls holing up in their cabins.
They had to figure out how to get through the winter on their own. After a year of living in the mountains alone, they discover that not only is the fog slowly receding, but that there are other groups living on the mountain. Including a camp the of U.S. Army.
The story is told from the point of view of a 14 year old girl. But I would not recommend it for younger readers as the story has dark themes, including murder and a hanging early on. At one point, Kathy likens what is happening to “The Lord of the Flies“, and that is a fairly apt comparison for this book. It is a very interesting read, kept my attention and made me want to know how it ended.
A lot goes on during this book, lots of people to keep track of and twists and turns. At 553 pages, it will take a few days to finish reading and you may wish to take a number of breaks to process all that has happened. The time span is a little over four years, from age 14 to somewhere past age 18 for Kathy. The characters stick with you however, and their personalities aren’t generic or flat. You get to see Kathy grow up during the book, how she changes from a scared child into a woman and a leader. There are funny moments, and sad moments, and through it all you can really see this happening. The decisions made make sense, not just for moving plot along, but really make sense for what is happening in the book at the time. Over all, I would recommend this book.

Dad has been gone for 16 years, and I miss him every day. He shaped me -- my passions, values and dreams. He also shaped me to be a rebel.
Curiosity Did Not Kill The Cat. My Dad dropped out of school in eighth grade to work. But I never saw him without a book in his hand. He turned me onto Rex Stout mysteries; loved encyclopedias and the William Durant history series; was an information junkie about health and diet way back in the 1950's; and learned everything he could about the stock market when he turned it into a second career in his 70's.
He was a book hoarder with an insatiable curiosity. When he died, his library numbered in the tens of thousands, and he had read and reread them all.
Rebels are curious folks.
Never Remember A Birthday. My Dad never remembered birthdays or anniversaries. His daughters bought the cards and presents for my Mom and sometimes even forged his signature to keep peace in the house. We used to get pretty ticked off at him for what we saw as callous behavior.
Here is the the real truth. My Dad was a man who practiced constant acts of kindness. He just didn't do occasions. How he ran his business -- Harold Palokoff Fuel Delivery -- explains it all.
If someone needed heating oil, they got it even if they could not pay. When he closed down in 1970, he left almost a half million dollars in uncollected bills on the books because he would not let families freeze. Lots of people thought he was a softie and a fool. But, to lots of people, he was a hero.
Don't Forget Where You Come From. My Dad was born in 1909, the son of Russian and Polish immigrants. His dad was a hard-working junk dealer, traveling the roads of New York and Pennsylvania. And like many Jews and poor people, his family experienced harsh discrimination.
Here are some other parts of his story. While he was a teenager, the corner grocery kept his family and neighbors from starving during the Depression. At age 33, my Dad enlisted to fight in World War II even though he was exempt because of his age, being an only son and running an essential business.
He never ever forgot where he came from and that extended to his customers -- most were immigrants or minorities. He loved their diversity and saw them as part of his family. He was invited to their weddings, funerals and kitchen tables.
Most importantly, he deeply deeply loved America and truly saw it as the land of opportunity.
I am my father's daughter. My roots ground me. My clients are my family. And I believe deeply that I live in the best country on earth that is filled with boundless opportunity.

This chapter examines how cultural practices have influenced smoking in China with specific reference to regional and rural contexts. Particular attention is paid to cultural norms and practices and regional cultural differences. Consideration is also given as to why smoking is higher in the countryside and the importance of cultural and socio-economic factors in this context. Finally, given the rapid urbanisation of China, an assessment is made of the impacts of rural-urban migration and the discriminatory hukou system on the smoking behaviour of rural residents in new urban destinations.
