“K Kat Dennings: Two Broke Girls ” is the 2nd in the “Cinderella ” trilogy by author Kat Dennings. This time around, Max does not prepare for much out of the brand-new diner lady at her preliminary task. But to her disappointment, Caroline (Kat Dennings) is a hard working female who maybe does not deserve the high priced life she lives. The two strike up an unforeseen friendship after Caroline discovers out that Max can actually bake a terrific cupcake. Their co-worker, Earl (Michael Chiklis), likewise takes place to be an avid baker who chooses to help out with the business.
“Cinderella ” is the second of Dennings ‘ “Cinderella ” series, which takes location in Depression-era Ohio. The majority of the book ‘s events take location off-screen, as the majority of are, rather of taking place in the fictional town of Idyllshire. Therefore, many of the reader ‘s interactions are non-existent.
Dennings takes the story in an entirely various direction than “Cinderella ” in every way. She includes a young lady called Max (Caroline Dukak), who falls in love with a boy named David.
These females ‘s roles are crucial to maintaining the stability of the story, as they are the perfect counter-weights to Max and David ‘s dominant characters. Lily is a career female who is desperate to be part of the “big city ” life, while David longs to be a steady, honest stay-at-home papa.
The series revolves around a damaged woman called Max who returns home to Los Angeles after spending a year in New York City. There she reunites with her best buddy, David (Gary MacNicol), and they form a brand-new group, The Three Lions, consisting of Max ‘s best pal, Holly (Christina Aguilera).
The show became so popular with critics and audiences that it was nominated for Golden Globe Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series. It also has an excellent deal of nostalgic value to those who enjoy, considering that it follows the ups and downs of 2 different sets of young women.
In the second season of The Outsiders Kat Dennings plays the role of David, the eldest of the three sisters. She is described as a positive, if not a little obnoxious character, provided the circumstances of her upbringing as a second-generation American in Italy. In the first episodes of the program, her rebellious mindset is plainly obvious, but as the show progresses the audience will begin to see her as a more thoughtful and passive individual who just acts when essential. This transition is made possible by the unforeseen nature of her relationship with David, who she invests much of their time dating.
She offered a humane and accomplished performance in this role, and although her character didn ‘t get to have too many scenes, her contribution to the show was definitely appreciated. Both of these effective television reveals raise the awareness of the roles that females can and do play, and more women are beginning to understand that they don ‘t have to accept substandard parts in order to be successful in Hollywood.

How far would you run to escape your past?
Venice Beach, Los Angeles. A paradise on earth. Tourists flock to the golden coast and the promise of Hollywood. But for eight strangers at a beach-front hostel, there is far more on their minds than an extended vacation. All of them are running from something. And they all have secrets they’d kill to keep…
Thrilling Reads Review
“The Vacation,” previously published as “Welcome to Wherever You Are,” is a novel by John Marrs that takes readers on a winding journey through the lives of an eclectic group of characters. Spanning over 500 pages, this ambitious narrative weaves through a complex maze of twists, turns, and flashbacks, making it a challenging yet ultimately rewarding read.
Set against the backdrop of a shabby backpacker’s hostel in Venice Beach, California, the novel’s vivid setting resonates particularly with those who have experienced the unique vibe of Venice Beach and Santa Monica. Marrs excels in creating a rich tapestry of characters, each with their own checkered pasts and intriguing stories. The book adopts a vignette-style approach, focusing on different characters in separate storylines. While some narratives and characters are more engaging than others, the overall journey through their lives is a fascinating one.
Marrs introduces his characters gradually, dedicating several chapters to each before bringing in new ones. This methodical approach helps in managing the large cast, though it still requires some concentration from the reader to keep track of the various storylines. The narrative is structured with chapters alternating between different characters’ perspectives, often delving into their pasts. These flashbacks are generally well signposted, though at times, they delve into unnecessary detail that doesn’t always serve the main storyline.
“The Vacation” may not satisfy those looking for a fast-paced thriller, as its pace is more deliberate, focusing on character development rather than edge-of-your-seat suspense. It’s more of a character study, rich in detail and exploration of personal histories and interactions.
In conclusion, “The Vacation” is a novel for those who enjoy deep dives into characters’ lives and don’t mind a slower pace. Marrs’ skillful storytelling and the vivid setting make it a worthwhile read for those who appreciate a complex, character-driven narrative.

Children’s literature always has this effect of clearing and refreshing my mind, opening it up for subsequent expansion.
Minnie, my daughter was then 6 years old and going to the American International School in Dhaka. Ananya (my wife) would visit the school library and together with Minnie, select books for Minnie to read over the fortnight.
Between Ananya and Minnie, they ensured that some of the best books from children’s literature section were picked up from this amazing library.
And I remember, every time the books were brought home, there was so much of excitement, because Ananya and I read them as much as Minnie did, and with as much enthusiasm and joy.
One of the series that we particularly delighted in was called ‘Mr. Putter and Tabby‘, by American author, Cynthia Rylant. This series has given me a sense of pure joy I haven’t experienced reading anything else.
The series deals with the hardships and joys of old age; with pets and vivid outdoor scenes thrown in.
It is about Mr. Putter, an old man and his pet cat, Tabby and their lovable next door neighbor, old Mrs. Teaberry and her pet dog, Zake.
The difficulties and loneliness of aging is subtly, sensitively and beautifully dovetailed with the unhurried joys of old age and the bliss of having few expectations from life; when one is largely done with one’s worldly responsibilities, when one’s aspirations in life are simple, when one is slowly winding down.
The joys and mellow bliss of old age is something we often overlook and fail to appreciate. This joy, this bliss, along with the difficulties and loneliness is sensitively and beautifully captured by Rylant. Her narratives are simple and concise yet deeply evocative, which are complemented by beautiful expressive drawings (mainly in watercolors and pastel) by illustrator Arthur Howard.
What I find truly remarkable about this series is that very young readers are spontaneously drawn to the stories of two old people and their old pets. I understood this from Minnie’s enthusiastic response to these books.
As for me, reading these books, I was awakened to the beauty and mellow charm of old age, something that we so easily fail to recognize and appreciate.
Another amazing series by the same author is ‘Henry and Mudge‘. Henry, being a single (and lonely) child, develops a deep bond with a puppy called Mudge, which eventually grows into a lovable, enormous drooling dog. This series tell us about the interesting experiences Henry and Mudge go through while growing up.
I think, all adults, as a matter of intellectual discipline, should consider reading children’s literature (primarily the non-fairy tale types), on a regular basis. I have a theory that it helps in expanding our minds.
Children’s literature tends to have an element of unfettered imagination and creativity that we find largely missing in adult literature; children’s books (particularly those written for early readers) are generally infused with a spontaneous charm, a sense of innocence and joy, and very importantly – a sense of freedom and liberation that we generally don’t find in adult literature.

PARCHMENT PRODUCTION IN TIVOLI
The production of parchment in Tivoli, in the classical period, is attested by the ruins of a plant for the calcination of skins: the calcinarium, found in the area of Colle Nocello, within a roman villa.
This craft did not stop during the difficult period of the barbarian invasions.
It is known that "only once the levy imposed had been paid with the gold and silver derived from melting down the statues of the gods that Alaric lifted his siege of Tivoli, and went away laden with stuffs and skins dyed purple". From this it may be deduced that the working of skins must have been of considerable importance, given that it formed such a notable part of Alaric's booty.
The sources at our disposal consist in the parchment manuscripts conserved in the ecclesiastical archives. In these we find reports of magistri (masters), including leatherworkers and shoemakers, pellipari and calšulari: the former are mentioned in 1207 and 1258, while the latter are cited in innumerable documents from the tenth century on.
It seems quite reasonable to assume that parchment was produced in moderate quantities in the centuries of the early and high middle ages, when animal skins were the material most often used for manuscripts, replacing papyrus paper.
- The Papyri of the churches of Tivoli, in other words the earliest documents of the Regesto Tiburtino, were transcribed on parchment in the 13th century.
To be able to evaluate the degree of development of trade and crafts in tivoli we need to await the statutes of 1305.
End of 14th century
A large part of the various craftsmen or artifices (maestri) depended on their own Guild (corporation). They were registered in its matricula (list of members) and they elected two capita artis (guild heads) every six months.
- The degree of development reached by production and trade in the early years of the 14th century is attested by the political regime sanctioned by the statutes of 1305.
- In fact, in contrast to what happened in the towns of southern Lazio, where no institutional role within the civic government was recognized to the guilds, in Tivoli the capita artium formed part by law of the main town council and of the more restricted consilium speciale.
- this was a type of regime that closely resembled that of the main cities of italy, where the importance of trade and crafts determined the predomination of the trade organizations within the municipal government.
- Situated on the road leading to the Abruzzo and the Regno, Tivoli was an important cross-roads; its vicinity to rome facilitated trade and the absence of other towns within a radius of some tens of kilometres enabled it to play the role of economic capital already in the 13th and 14th century, as clearly documented in the following century.
The importance of Tivoli in commercial life found a kind of institutionalization in the creation of the Fair (Fiera).
In the summer of 1393 the town council established that a fair should be held, during the eight days in which the visitors to Santa Maria Maggiore (adjacent to the present Villa d'Este) could benefit from the indulgence that Boniface IX had granted to the Franciscans. The approval of the new fair and immunity for all the negotiatores (merchants) who wished to go to Tivoli were obtained from the civic authorities of Rome on this occasion.
- The fair was held in the district of Santa Croce between the 8th and 15th September.
- The fair, or Feria Tyburis as it was called, continued to be held for many centuries, and the local notarial and cadastral registers attest that the various merchants involved in it also included the merchants of leather and of parchment.
The cadastral register of the district of San Paolo of 1467, apart from registering fourteen members of the guilds (artes) of the workers of iron, paper, cloths and spices, also lists a further twenty members of craft or retail trade corporations. Of all the (so to say) "minor" craft activities, the sectors that seem to have had the largest number of members were those of the working of leather and building.
With ten members, equivalent to over 6% of the craftsmen registered, the ars calšulariae (guild of shoemakers) was the branch with the most members.
- The calšularii are attested at every social level, both among the less well to do and at the top of the social scale: to Domenico di Paolo Marsi, a large landowner and third largest taxpayer in the district, is registered a sum of 80 lire, invested in the ars calšulariae.
Antonio del Re reported the presence of "three shops for [the production of] dressed leather, soles and parchment paper".
So parchment was still being produced in Tivoli in the early 17th century, when its use in the world of books was especially connected with bookbinding.
In the correspondence of Superiors we find references to skins, so it is probable that some production of parchment still continued in the town of Tivoli, by now famous for its production of paper.


Bruce Wilpon elicits constant conversation and curiosity in the Major League Baseball Chronicles. As the former owner of the New York Mets, his history includes accomplishments, including two World Series appearances and the famous 2007 championship, and hardships, highlighted by financial scandals and controversies that placed a fog of secrecy over his family.
Amidst this veil of secrecy is Bruce Wilpon wife, his consistent partner throughout his baseball journey, but an intriguing presence hidden from the public eye. This piece delves into the enigmatic life of Bruce Wilpon wife, methodically compiling shards of information to create a narrative beyond the position of a mere baseball owner’s spouse, revealing the captivating story of the lady beneath the curtain of secrecy.
Bruce Wilpon Wife, Yuki Oshima-Wilpon
Bruce Wilpon wife, Yuki Oshima-Wilpon, hails from a renowned Japanese family. Her father, Kenshin Oshima, was a billionaire steel mogul and the genius behind Nippon Steel Corporation. There is much more to learn about their early lives and romantic adventures. However, it is widely assumed that their 1978 marriage formed a robust corporate relationship between the Wilpon family’s Sterling Equities and Oshima’s industrial empire.
Despite public depictions of a united front, concerns about Yuki’s power and autonomy persisted within the Mets organization. Some saw her as a strong protector of her family’s interests, while others saw her as a businesswoman with astute financial judgment.
Yuki Oshima-Wilpon: Passion for Arts
Yuki Oshima-Wilpon’s life lasted well beyond Citi Field. She actively supported various philanthropic causes, focusing on art and education efforts.
Her memberships in Japan and the Asia Society of New York demonstrated her dedication to promoting cultural interaction and understanding between her homeland and the United States.
Furthermore, Yuki’s enthusiasm for Japanese traditional arts was reflected in her support for institutions such as the Asian Collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Noguchi Museum. This proactive involvement in a cultural sphere outside of baseball portrayed Yuki as a multidimensional individual with interests that extended beyond the game.
Bruce Wilpon Wife: Life after Financial Losses
In 2012, faced with increased financial problems and growing fan displeasure, the Wilpons chose to sell a majority ownership in the Mets. Yuki and Bruce retreated to a more private life after leaving baseball. Nonetheless, occasional glimpses into their world emerge, exposing their involvement in real estate endeavors and unwavering support for various artistic initiatives.
Bruce Wilpon’s Wife: Strong Support
Yuki Oshima-Wilpon, Bruce Wilpon wife, remains cloaked in mystery, like a figure dressed in a kimono. Her reserved public attitude and the widespread cloak of mystery surrounding her family make it difficult to piece together a complete story.
Nonetheless, the accessible information paints a picture of a lady who is intelligent, independent, and passionate about culture.
She defied the stereotype of a divisive baseball owner’s wife, emerging as a successful businesswoman, committed philanthropist, and supporter of cultural exchange.
Whether she wielded enormous power behind the scenes or operated quietly in the background, her story highlights the complexities of women frequently pushed to the margins of prominent narratives. It is a story worth delving into beyond the headlines and controversy, providing a rare glimpse into the life of a lady who, in her way, left an indelible mark on the history of a renowned baseball franchise.
Yuki Oshima and Bruce Wilpon: Journey Together
It is difficult to say when Bruce and Yuki met or the exact date they walked down the aisle. However, their romantic relationship peaked in 2006, when the couple embarked on multiple travels together.
Yuki (then 24) and Wilpon (then 27) were dubbed the golden couple, and rightfully so. They were swimming in millions. They also never hesitated to spend money on whatever they wanted, even their guilty pleasures.
Around this time, Wilpon and Yuki attempted to create significant public identities, possibly by stepping out of their parents’ shadow. Predictably, they relied on the media to accomplish that monumental task.
The young millionaire couple decided to go house hunting in Europe. After that, the public got its first view of their ostentatious lifestyle.
It was discovered that Yuki Oshima did not fly commercially. I indeed wouldn’t, even if my father was a billionaire.
The media was also able to document Yuki’s poor sense of timing. Not only was she frequently late for her flights and appointments, but she dismissed it as if it did not matter.
That is also understandable (though not acceptable). When you are the sole billionaire in your entourage, it is okay to break the rules occasionally.
But one unique aspect of Yuki’s various theatrics was her husband’s embarrassment with her. Bruce looked to despise his wife’s extravagant display of celebrity and only went along as the loving husband that he was.
The media learned more about Yuki’s pointless quest for perfection, particularly regarding sanitation, via the Wilpons’ frequent house-hunting trips to Europe. Almost every house she viewed had a filthy bathroom, and she had to clean the toilet multiple times before declining the property altogether.
Yuki Oshima’s Love for Humanity and Animals
Yuki’s sense of humanity and concern for animal welfare was also revealed to be fake. For example, she pretended to sympathize with a cancer-stricken dog and even threatened to bind herself to the rails until the dog was treated. However, like most of her past pledges, it was all show and little substance.
Bruce Wilpon’s Wife’s Divorce and Marriage with Nicky Scott
Despite all the flash and glamour, it looks like Bruce Wilpon and Yuki Oshima’s love story was meant to be elsewhere. They divorced in 2012 after 16 years of marriage. Yuki married Nicky Scott in 2014. Scott is primarily known as a close friend of Prince Harry.
Wilpon and Oshima have been tight-lipped about what precipitated their split. However, it is natural to conclude that their aims were at odds. Yuki most likely craved the fame and glitter of being a millionaire heir, whereas Wilpon aspired to participate actively in the family business.
In the End
So, the article delves deeply into Yuki Oshima-Wilpon’s life, revealing the unique aspects of her path, the problems she experienced, and the decisions she took. Yuki’s narrative demonstrates tenacity, independence, and the pursuit of love across cultural barriers despite her privileged family background and disregard for conventional standards.
Yuki Oshima-Wilpon, as she embarks on a new chapter in her marriage to Nicky Scott, shows the challenges and possibilities of partnerships that cross-cultural barriers and develop throughout life.

Happy New Year and welcome to the first part of a new series of articles on the important emerging area of solderless assembly technology.
This new effort is a bit of an experiment in information dissemination. In an industry as fast paced as the electronics industry, one often finds himself reading technology texts that are more akin to history books. Traditional texts will always have a vital roll to play in information transfer, but real-time examination of rapidly evolving technologies cannot be carried out in such a manner. This effort will be a first attempt at offering a near real-time text on an emerging technology.
When complete, the various parts of the series will be collected and organized into chapters and a more traditional book comprised of all of the these open series parts will also be made available free to future readers or for those who might want to have all the information under one cover. The length of this journey is unknown as I set out, but the plan is to provide new parts on various aspects of solderless assembly technology at, hopefully, somewhat regular intervals over the coming months--until the subject has been sufficiently examined and to give the reader a good understanding of what solderless assembly is and what is needed to take advantage of its many benefits.
The book’s title, Solderless Assembly For Electronics (SAFE), is perhaps a bit provocative, but SAFE is believed to be an accurate summary word for products made without solder. The term SAFE was first used in a paper delivered at an IPC conference on lead-free solder a few years ago and was resurrected for this effort because only a relatively few people were in attendance at the conference. Other terms and titles were suggested or considered around the same SAFE acronym, “solder alloy free electronics” was one, but the prime consideration was given to the idea of making of solderless electronic assemblies and that the result of such products would, in fact, be safer and, ultimately, more reliable than traditional soldered assemblies.
Some may recall the fanfare than surrounded the introduction of the Occam Process a few year ago. (For those interested in reading a bit more, visit www.verdantelectronics.com/) The Occam Process concept is still alive and well and the IP surrounding the concept continues to grow. However, the path that Occam has followed pretty much matches a descriptive model that was developed and has been used by analysts at Gartner. The model can be graphed in the form of a curve which charts expectations against time for new technologies.
When charted, the curve graphically illustrates how new or promising technologies often ride up a steep curve of heightened expectations and excitement early on to a high level of interest. Typically, this is followed by a precipitous descent into disillusionment when the promise is not immediately delivered. At this point, the only way out is up and disappointment can only be overcome by a long, slow learning climb to enlightenment. Once the industry has achieved enlightenment and understanding, progress and productivity kick in and the earlier promise is delivered.


My husband, Frank, and I first went to Merida, Yucatán, for our honeymoon in 1976. On that initial trip—and other trips that followed with Wilderness Travel—I became absolutely fascinated by the Mayan way of life that later inspired me to write two books.
The first book, Jaguar Princess, follows a story about a young woman who can read Mayan glyphs and is destined to be a shaman. I was inspired to write it after watching a documentary about an eleven-year-old boy who accompanied his archaeologist father to Mayan ruins and discovered how to read Mayan glyphs. I had an “a-ha” moment—a girl could do that too! I was on my way with a story that had to be told.
To further my passion and research for Jaguar Princess, Frank and I joined WT’s symposium, World of the Maya: New Discoveries at Ancient Copán in January 2010. We visited ruins with archaeologists and attended seminars on the Maya, meeting experts as well as local people.
We joined Dr. Robert Sharer and Dr. Ricardo Fasquelle as they shared their years of research at Copán, and visited the tunnels beneath the royal acropolis. Dr. Marc Zender of Harvard University led our tour from Copán to Tikal to Caracol and Lamanai. He showed us how to read syllables in Mayan writing, described the significance of each building we visited, and answered my many questions tirelessly. Our guide, Antonio Cuxil, who spoke English, Spanish, French, and German in addition to his native Mayan language, shared his passion for Maya culture and introduced us to other descendants of the Kaqchiquel Maya.
In December 2012, we joined WT’s symposium, World of the Maya: Cycles of Time at Uxmal, an authentic Mayan city well away from the more crowded sites of the Yucatán Peninsula. To celebrate the monumental transition in the Mayan calendar on December 21, 2012, the symposium focused on Mayan timekeeping, astronomy, and archaeology. I can’t describe how much it meant to me to meet the authors of the books on Mayan archaeology that line my bookshelves.
Among the guest speakers that year were: Dr. Anthony Aveni, Professor of Astronomy at Colgate University, pioneer in Mesoamerican archaeoastronomy, and author of The End of Time: The Maya Mysteries of 2012; Dr. Harvey Bricker and Dr. Victoria Bricker, Professors Emeritus of Anthropology at Tulane University, Research Associates at the Florida Museum of Natural History, and co-authors of Astronomy in the Maya Codices; Dr. Susan Milbrath, Curator of Latin American Art and Archaeology at the Florida Museum of Natural History and author of Star Gods of the Maya: Astronomy in Art, Folklore, and Calendars; and Dr. Karl Taube, Professor of Anthropology at the University of California at Riverside and author of numerous publications on ancient writing and religions including Gods and Symbols of Ancient Mexico and the Maya.
My latest book, Lost Jade of the Maya, is the sequel to Jaguar Princess, and includes knowledge and insight I learned while on World of the Maya: Cycles of Time at Uxmal.
In December 2017, I will again join WT during their symposium, World of the Maya: New Discoveries in the New Millennium, as a team of experts sheds light on exploring recent discoveries that have changed our understanding of Maya culture.

I will need full disclosure from you for your address and other shipping-essential needs. This includes details for customs forms if need be. I know that addresses outside the USA can be hella long and a little confusing for those not from that country, and I will try my best, but please try and make it easy for me.
The way this works is you can reblog/like as many times as you want, and I will use a random number generator to pick winners. Each winner is entitled to one book of choice by the rules of first come first serve - if there are two winners who want the same book, the one who tells me first will get it.
This giveaway is for my FOLLOWERS only, so if you’re going to enter you MUST BE FOLLOWING ME, and yes, I will check.

(Dis)embodied singers in Cervantes
9 May 2019 @ 2:45 pm - 3:30 pmFree
Given that printed texts don’t come with sound effects, it’s not obvious why characters in novels are made to speak, let alone sing; and when they do, what are we supposed to hear? Cervantes was clearly fascinated by the challenge of ‘writing singing’ and returned to the problem time and again. In the majority of cases he wrote singing as a performance in real time, with the (often lengthy) lyrics pasted into the main text of the novel. But this paper will discuss a number of alternative approaches drawn from Don Quijote (1605, 1615), the Novelas ejemplares (1613) and Persiles y Sigismunda (1616). In all of Cervantes’s major works we find singers who are de-voiced, disembodied or disempowered: a shipwrecked Portuguese lover, a nun with a beautiful voice, a muleteer with ‘the best voice you’ll ever hear’, and Feliciana de la Voz, a woman who is her voice—until she loses it.

Yule Kilcher is not just an important figure in the Kilcher household but is known also as a historical figure in Alaska. Yule served as the Alaskan State Senator from 1963 to 1967 and was also the Alaskan State Constitutional Delegate. During his time as the Alaskan Constitutional Delegate, Yule helped to draft the Alaskan constitution. On the other hand, Yule also pioneered the homestead way of life, which is now the subject of the reality TV series, Alaska: The Last Frontier. Even though he passed away in 1998, Yule Kilcher remains as one of the founding fathers of Alaska and the homestead way of life. In this article, we will take a closer look at the wiki-bio of Yule Kilcher.
Yule Farenorth Kilcher was born on the 9th of March 1913 as Julius Jacob Kilcher. Born to, Lina and Edwin Otto Kilcher, in Laufen, Canton of Basel, Switzerland. Yule spent most of his early life with his four siblings, Linely Kilcher, Edwin Otto Kilcher, and Erna Kilcher, in Zuchwil near Solothurn. After passing his matriculation exam from the Kantonsschule Solothurn in 1932, Yule went off to Berlin to study comparative philology and archeology.
Moving to Alaska:
After spending most of his early life in Germany, Yule decided to move to Alaska to get away from the Nazis. He visited the place in 1936 and moved permanently four years later. In 1936, the government of Alaska gave Yule 267 hectares of land in Homer. After temporarily moving to Switzerland, to try and convince other people to move to Alaska, Yule made the return trip to Alaska and changed his name to Yule Farenoth Kilcher.
Life in Alaska:
In 1941, Yule married Ruth Weber from Pratteln but was living in the US during the time. The duo sought a self-sufficient and self-catering life in nature. The pair went on to have eight lovely children, two sons Atz and Otto, and six daughters, Catkin Kilcher Burton, Fay Graham, Mossy Kilcher, Stellavera Kilcher, Sunrise Sjoberg, and Wurtilla Hepp. Yule founded the homestead way of life and taught his children how best to survive in the harsh winters of Alaska. As time went on the marriage started to crumble. After divorce, Ruth left Alaska in 1970. Ruth went on to marry Charles Rodney Marriott, and they traveled around the Lower 48 before settling in Tennessee. In 1997 Ruth passed away surrounded by her family.
In 1995, Yule Kiclhe was elected to represent the Kenai Penninsula at the Constitutional Convention, which was formed to draft the Alaskan Constitution. He advocated simplifying the spelling of the borough administrative unit in boro. Yule also served on the state senate as a representative of the Democratic Party. He served for a total of five years from 1963 to 1966. During his time in politics, Yule was also a member of the Committee on Ordinances and Transitional Measures and Committee on Administration.
Yule Kilcher passed away on the 8th of December 1988 due to complications from pneumonia. He passed away at the age of 85, surrounded by his friends and family. Yule’s home, the 660-acre homestead on Kachemak Bay, east of Homer, became a popular stop for musicians, military figures, and politicians. Yule is survived by his wife, Jane Kilcher, and his eight children.

The Foxfire Books are a compilation of interviews by college students in Georgia with local people about Appalachian culture. This series is nothing new to me- it's been on my family's bookshelf since I was a wee tot. The project began as Foxfire Magazine in 1966 and all of the articles were first published together as a book in 1972.
The series of books are like blueprints for sustainable and simple living. Page through one and you will find things like how to build a log cabin, tales about home baby deliveries, and how to grow the food you need.
In this age of apps for everything, GPS, and supermarkets, lately I am finding renewed respite in these books about "plain living".

My new textbook Economics of Global Business brings a new perspective to the teaching of economics (all its ancillary material can be freely downloaded here). Its aim is to explain macro/international economics to business students and readers interested in policy-making. Representing the culmination of many years of research, the book primarily examines governmental fiscal, monetary and currency policies. However, the book also covers a great deal of other economic issues.
The major concerns include income inequality, the global financial crisis, and the relationship between climate change and macroeconomic outcomes. Each of these areas of concern are explored through the lens of the decision-making processes of public authorities. This enables the reader to not only have a greater appreciation of this aspect of public decision-making in principle but also learn about the contexts of this form of decision-making in practice.
One of the central lessons found in Economics of Global Business is the emergent nature of economic policy-making. This signifies a set of interrelated factors: no easy solutions or magic bullets; development consists of more than GDP growth; economic policy is context-dependent so that as contexts change in unpredictable ways, then policy will need to match and adapt to unforeseen challenges; and, general and systemic effects need to be recognized as transcending partial-equilibrium analysis.
The format of the book reflects a focus on rendering the contents conceptually accessible. Thus there is much use graphics as a pedagogical tool, and is full of examples of economic policy in action, from the tiny Faroe Islands to the BRICS and the other large economies in the planet: United States, Europe and Japan.
The book probes deeply into crucial, contemporary questions that range over a spectrum from the general to the specific. What is preferable, fiscal or monetary policy? Does globalization cause income inequality? Why has China changed its currency regime? How can countries escape the middle-income trap? Why do we continue to have banks that are too big to fail? Why there was no hyperinflation following quantitative easing? Is secular stagnation the future of rich countries? What are the macroeconomic effects of climate change? Should we copy Scandinavian policies on income inequality? Would China derail the US economy if it sold its holding of US Treasury Bonds?
First and foremost though is how public authorities enact economic policies and what are its main trade-offs? Moreover, which critical constraints effect policy makers in a world of increasing uncertainty and accelerating shifts due to interconnectedness and growing complexity? A quote attributed to H.L. Mencken sums up the theme of economic policy in this book: “For every complex problem there is a simple and clear solution.
That is wrong.”

**Participants will receive a unique unit pack in addition to extensive IT resources that meet the expectations of the new national curriculum in a dynamic and stimulating manner, providing a fabulous collection of ideas and resources to inspire and promote creative writing and reading.**
George Layton short stories:
‘The Fib’ was George Layton’s first book. It tells funny, bittersweet stories about growing up in 1950’s Bradford where getting into trouble was much easier than getting out of it. The stories will be enhanced by looking at life in the 1950s to provide background and context to the stories.
‘The Long Walk’ is compared and contrasted with John Burningham’s ‘Grandpa’ and the lyrics from the hit song ‘Grandad’ (1970) sung by Clive Dunn. ‘The Holiday’ is set alongside the song lyrics to ‘Hello Mother, Hello Father’ (aka the Camp Granada song).
Themes within ‘The Balaclava Story’ (stealing) and ‘The Fib’ (dishonesty) will be expanded and developed to enrich and enhance children’s understanding and inspire writing for children at all abilities including those working at greater depth.
An exciting and extensive unit of work, including a wealth of differentiated resources, media and ICT, to develop reading and writing for Upper KS2

Why a novel? If one wanted to explore the life and ministry of Saul of Tarsus, better known as the Apostle Paul, why not take a traditional approach? Take biographical information from the Bible, add historical and cultural research, mix in Paul’s theology from his letters, and voila! Several excellent books have been written using similar formulas. These are books that appeal to me. I like to study and to take a scholarly approach to the Bible and theological concepts. The Bible, along with these kinds of books, are the resources that I use to formulate my sermons. But I also love what Tolkien called “a ripping good story.” I read Tolkien’s story of Bilbo and Frodo with wonderment at the power of his parable of good and evil and the prideful self-will of mankind.
The reason that I preach or write anything is to communicate the gospel of Jesus Christ. I want to write about the ways that we walk with Him in integrity. The goal is for people to grasp the Biblical concepts of salvation, faith, grace, love, redemption, and make them their own. But my observation is that, apart from technology and engineering, all people form their most closely held beliefs in their hearts, not their heads. Our intellect works to justify what our heart desires. From the most intellectual to the most vulgar of thinkers, this is true.
The secularists operate in that way to promote their worldview. Stories, drama, movies, and music are their methods of “evangelism.” They seek to move the emotions of people in order that they might receive their philosophy. Fredrich Nietzsche brought about the “God is Dead” movement and the idea of “supermen” through fiction about “Zarathustra” and “The Mad Man.” I also know that, besides the Bible, the most successful Christian book ever written is speculative fiction— “The Pilgrims Progress” by John Bunyan.
In the 1960’s Robert Heinlein wrote a science fiction novel called “Stranger in a Strange Land.” It was about Valentine Michael Smith, a young Martian colonist come to visit Earth. Heinlein coined a term “grok” which was the Martian word for water. “Grok” connoted completely understanding someone or something by empathy or unity; like understanding water by taking a drink. I began to see “grok” bumper stickers and hear about cults formed around “grok.” There is power in a good story, well told. I want people to “grok” the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The great desire of Paul’s heart was, “…that I may know Him (Jesus) and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death; in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.” Philippians 3:10-11 (NASB) Paul wanted a profound understanding of Jesus by empathizing with Him. Like understanding the life-giving properties of water by taking a long, thirsty drink of it. This is what I want to create for the reader of my novel, “In the Grip of God”—a great desire to drink of the living water of Jesus Christ.


118. T. Jovanović-Cvetković, N. Mićić, G. Đurić, M. Cvetković: POLLEN MORPHOLOGY AND GERMINATION OF INDIGENOUS GRAPEVINE CULTIVARS ŽILAVKA AND BLATINA (Vitis vinifera L.). AgroLife Scientific Journal - Volume 5, Number 1, 2016. ISSN 2285-5718; ISSN CD-ROM 2285-5726; ISSN ONLINE 2286-0126; ISSN-L 2285-5718
The indigenous cultivars Žilavka and Blatina of V. vinifera are of the greatest economic importance for wine production in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In vineyards, the grape productivity of Žilavka is normal while that of Blatina is extremely low. The objective of this work was to study the pollen morphology of V. vinifera cvs. Žilavka and Blatina using scanning electron microscopy. The pollen grain of Žilavka showed three furrows, but acolporated (without furrows or pores) pollen grains were observed in Blatina. Pollen germination in Žilavka was satisfactory, whereas Blatina pollen lacked the capacity to germinate. The present research is a contribution to amore detailed analysis of major grapevine cultivars in the Balkans.


Iraq War veteran Brian Turner lauded for poetry and memoir
— Award-winning poet and memoirist Brian Turner will present a public reading and discuss the complexities of crafting art from memory on Friday, Oct. 27 at Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU).
“The Palace of Memory: An Evening with Brian Turner” will begin with a 6 p.m. reception followed by the reading at 6:30 p.m. in Edwards Hall, Room 112. The event is part of the College of Arts & Sciences Lecture Series supported by a generous grant from the Seidler family. The series aims to enrich the intellectual life of FGCU and the greater Southwest Florida community by bringing prominent local and international thinkers to campus and encouraging open discussions of important ideas.
Admission is free, but guests are encouraged to register online at tinyurl.com/CAS-lectures.
An Iraq War veteran, Turner has published two poetry collections, “Phantom Noise” and his debut, “Here, Bullet,” which won the 2005 Beatrice Hawley Award, the New York Times “Editor’s Choice” selection, the 2006 PEN Center USA “Best in the West” award, the 2007 Poets Prize, and others. Turner’s work has been published in National Geographic, The New York Times, Poetry Daily, Harper’s Magazine and other media.
His 2014 book “My Life as a Foreign Country: A Memoir” retraces his war experience — pre-deployment to combat zone, homecoming to aftermath. His account combines recollection with the imagination’s efforts to make reality comprehensible. Across time, he seeks parallels in the histories of others who have gone to war, especially his taciturn grandfather (World War II), father (Cold War) and uncle (Vietnam). Through it all, Turner paints a devastating portrait of what it means to be a soldier and a human being.
Tim O’Brien, author of the bestselling Vietnam War novel “The Things They Carried,” said Turner’s book “ranks with the best war memoirs I’ve ever encountered — a humane, heartbreaking and expertly crafted work of literature.”
Turner, who lives in Orlando, earned an MFA from the University of Oregon before serving for seven years in the US Army. He was an infantry team leader for a year in Iraq with the 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division. Prior to that, he deployed to Bosnia-Herzegovina with the 10th Mountain Division (1999-2000). His diverse resume includes stints as a machinist, a locksmith’s assistant, a convenience store clerk, a pickler, a maker of circuit boards, a dishwasher, a low-voltage electrician, a radio DJ, a bass guitar instructor and more.
He now directs the MFA program at Sierra Nevada College and serves as a contributing editor at The Normal School.

Great Speeches in American History
Why do some speeches have impact while others are forgotten? Explore the answers, with audio, video, and the written word. Listen to Roosevelt’s fireside chat leading a frightened nation to survive the banking crisis, and Churchill steeling Britons to meet the Nazi assault. Watch John F. Kennedy tackle various crises and see reenactments of Lincoln’s timeless addresses. Study speechmaking on the fly, like Robert Kennedy announcing Martin Luther King’s death. Examine unsuccessful speeches, such as Nixon’s speech on invading Cambodia and Carter’s on “malaise.” Compare how two great conservatives, Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan in 1964, debated their philosophy in totally different ways, and then do the same with liberals Walter Mondale and Mario Cuomo in 1984. End the class by assessing if the “I Have a Dream” speech is indeed the greatest speech in U.S. history for its delivery and historical importance.

With the release of searsiaclient version 1.2.0, we removed those dependencies completely from searsia.js, and we fixed the very first issue: We implemented the searsia.js library following the closure pattern, which provides a sort of encapsulation for the variables and functions inside the library. Long story short: You can savely include the searsia.js library in your website, and its contents will not clash or overwrite variables and functions that your site already uses (that may have the same names). Also, as stated above, the library no longer depends on JQuery and Bootstrap, so there is not need to include those.
The release still contains a full blown example client however, that uses JQuery and Bootstrap for its example implementation, but all the presentation stuff is moved to exampleclient.js. Hurray!

"Splitting vs. Dissociation: Definitions"
By: Patricia D. McClendon, MSSW
Clinically, "splitting" refers to the
tendency to view people or events as either all good or all bad. It is a way of coping
that allows a person to hold opposite, unintegrated views. For example, the child
separates the father whom she depends on for love and protection from the father who
abuses her. This allows her to preserve an image of the "good" father, but at
great cost. She is left identifying herself as "bad" in order to make sense of
"Splitting" also describes the feeling
the survivor has when she separates her consciousness from her body, or "leaves"
her body (Bass and Davis, 1988, p.42).
Bass, Ellen, & Davis, Laura (1988). The
Courage to Heal: A Guide for Women Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse. New York, NY: Harper
& Row Publishers (Perennial Library).
Unable to remove herself physically from the abuse, the creative child victim
finds other ways to leave. Frequently this leaving takes the form of "separation from
the self," or "depersonalization." Many incest survivors refer to this
separation as "splitting" (which is different from "splitting off," dividing good and bad into absolute,
separate realities that can never coexist) (Blume, 1990, p.83).
Blume, E. Sue (1990). Secret Survivors:
Uncovering Incest and Its Aftereffects in Women. New York, NY: John Wiley and Sons.
(T)here is a problem about the difference between splitting
and dissociation (Clary, Burstin, & Carpenter, 1984;
Gruenewald, 1977; Horevitz & Braun, 1984, Ross, 1985; Young, 1988). I consider splitting and dissociation to be
synonyms, and I consider borderline personality disorder, which is based on splitting, to
be an Axis I dissociative disorder (Ross, 1989, p.87).
Splitting is a major issue, as Braun (1986a) has
pointed out. Splitting occurs within the patient, between
patient and staff, staff and staff, other patients and other staff, in fact in all
imaginable combinations and permutations. Without processing by staff, chaos will occur.
Patients will attempt to recreate the abusive environment of childhood, just as they do in
their personal relations outside the hospital. I can't emphasize enough the need to meet
and talk, meet and talk, meet and talk (Ross, 1989, p.290-1).

A funeral director from Tyneside has written a cricket-based story aimed at primary school children and young teenagers.
Chris May of Whiteleas, the manager of the South Shields Co-operative Funeralcare branch, was inspired to write A Cricketing Dream after seeing his 10-year-old son’s enthusiasm for a book he was reading at school.
As the secretary of South Shields Cricket Club and the captain of its Academy team, cricket was the obvious choice for the basis of Chris’s novel.
“Once I had the idea, it soon took off and before I knew it, just over three months later, I had written the book,” said Chris.
“The fictional tale follows the life of 13-year-old Matthew Temple, who loves cricket but has very low self-esteem.”
The book is available online from Amazon, Waterstones and WH Smith.


It turns out, we may be more social than we were 30 years ago — at least in public spaces.
In September 2008, two graduate students working for Keith Hampton, a professor at Rutgers, raised a camera atop a 16-foot tripod to film down into Bryant Park, the sprawling green space behind the main branch of the New York Public Library. They hit record, then milled about nearby pretending they had nothing to do with the rig, as it semi-surreptitiously filmed the comings and goings of hundreds of New Yorkers. The charade didn’t last. After an hour, Lauren Sessions Goulet, the more senior of the pair, found herself talking to the park’s private security force, which sent her to see their bosses, the Bryant Park Corporation. She was nervous.

A document is a written, drawn, presented or recorded representation of thoughts. Originating from the Latin Documentum meaning lesson - the verb 'doceo' means to teach. In the past it was usually used as a term for a written proof used as evidence. In the digital era, a document is usually used to describe a primarily textual file, along with its structure and design, such as fonts, colors and additional images. The modern term 'document' can no longer be defined by its transmission medium (such as paper) following the existence of electronic documents. 'Documentation' has more meanings than a written or drawn presentation of thoughts. The formal term 'document' is defined in Library, information and in documentation science, as a basic theoretical construct. It is everything which may be preserved or represented in order to serve as evidence for some purpose. The classical example provided by Suzanne Briet is an antelope: "An antelope running wild on the plains of Africa should not be considered a document, she rules. But if it were to be captured, taken to a zoo and made an object of study, it has been made into a document. It has become physical evidence being used by those who study it. Indeed, scholarly articles written about the antelope are secondary documents, since the antelope itself is the primary document." (Quoted from Buckland, 1998 ).
I used this year as a preparative research year. I started with looking at documents as such and investigated their behavior and properties. As the study progressed, I began to focus on three parallel directions.
- preserving the document
- the physical changed document
- and the non-physical changed document
How do we preserve documents? This is what I asked few people. The common answer was: on hard copies as in books and archives and/or on a digital medium. Most of them chose for both options just to be sure the document is save. By thinking about this answer more questions emerged: Are we scared of changes to documents? How do we handle documents and how do documents handle us? Can we consider ourselves as documents and how about our memories..are they documents too? Can documents be preserved otherwise than the traditional methods?
For as long as we know we document and we built enormous external archives. Starting with cave paintings in the prehistoric era we now save our views, emotions, events, thoughts, fantasies etc. increasingly on digital media. The documents in these archives are considered to be the carriers of facts which can be used as reference. Assuming the content of these documents don’t change, we have the possibility to combine knowledge to learn which can lead to other new documents. Though for we are not always aware, documents can change. I learned that there are several ways documents can or can be changed: - the physical change [ a document is being altered by transforming it from analogue to a digital form. though this must be investigated more: shouldn't we call a physical changed document a new document? ] - change of context. [ using a document in another context or vice versa] - change the perception of the user or viewer [ using perception management to reform peoples perception ] Looking at how and by whom or what a document is or can be changed, I looked into history and searched for altered documents. In history many documents have been changed using perception management. In some cases documents were even altered more than once. An important example is the Entartete Kunst exhibition from 1937 where the Nazis changed the perception of the people on the avant-garde, claiming it to be work of mad man. The powers of Perception management are still used however it has been fine tuned in such way that some times we are not conscious about the fact our perception on a document is changed. This refining of the perception management emerged in the cold war but was only described in the 90’s as the Soft Power Politics. Managing perception is a powerful tool which is used in various realms. It is highly used in advertising and marketing but it is also widely used as a military weapon known as propaganda. With this I want to present a chronological document consisting the interim results or models generated by my research so far.


Mind Science for Mentalists is one of the novels I wish I had known about when I began out searching
for a livelihood as a»mentalist» – that is, somebody who plays tricks on television or stage, and also who believes he’s special powers. In case you’re a real life»mentalist» (or a stage magician), you May Have any or Each of the books Within This series in the shelf:
– John Deere. essaywriter Often, people who do their assignments concerning someone’s previous will figure that they did not expect you’ll find out about, because the man was Favorable and didn’t explain to the world about by on their own. He also maintained a log, when John Deere made his luck as a railroad inventor. Obviously, when people read the books they can often tell who John Deere is.
– The Ancients. The Ancients series is for the «guru» of brain science for the mentalist – the person who thinks a mentalist’s job is to be an expert on every aspect of a https://payforessay.net «trick» he performs, or any other aspect of psychology, and that the only way to perform the trick «right» is to learn everything about it, and the person needs to have this knowledge «in his blood.»
– Seer, Seer. This series has three books, by the same author, but very different in content and tone. The first book, called Seer: The Hidden Origins of Magic, explores the many traditions of magic tricks, including the Spanish «culchita» routine, the ancient Chinese «bagua» routine, and more modern magic techniques, like doing sleight-of-hand in front of a mirror.
– Scarlet Monte Wont Be Missing. This book requires the reader onto a really peculiar and one of a kind journey in to the life span of the important»mentalist» https://www.mercy.edu/degrees-programs/mba-business-administration performer, as he sees several places he has never been, is visited by ghosts, and finds that he has any otherworldly understanding of the workings of the individual head. However, it really is»wrong» for those that would like to begin outside as mentalists, that really don’t always be aware of the own»forces» as well as their»evil» side.
– Annie Shung. Annie Shung is another quirky book, and one that has been called «an uncanny play on words,» and a «classic» in the field of brain science for the mentalist. In this book, Annie Shung becomes a psychic reader, where she uses the powers of «thoughtreading» to try to pick up a woman from her boyfriend’s phonebook who doesn’t answer, and he then suspects Annie Shung is the one who’s been «hiding» in his phonebook and is using her psychic powers to try to get in touch with him.
– To Become Enlightened by Karl Gledhill is the final book in the Brain Science series, which I had read before, but thought it was really outdated and not worth a second look. In this book, Karl Gledhill (who is a real-life «psychic» performer) offers up some of the «obvious» (to him) truths about how «psychics» work – that people are just literally watching what’s going on in our minds, and if we can learn to control those energies and harness them, we can actually change the world.
These books are great and insightful, and provide some great material for anyone wanting to become involved in mentalism. I wish I’d discovered these books when I was starting out in the field, but I’m glad I did when I started getting good gigs.


Yes. Playaway is spelled correctly. I'm talking about a Playaway preloaded digital audio book player.
In total, over 6,500 titles are available on Playaway. The complete list of titles available to schools can be obtained by combining the Follett (the exclusive distributor of Findaway World's titles in the K-12 market), Recorded Books, and BBC America catalogs.
Playaway is the easiest way to listen to a book on the go. Simply plug in the earphones and enjoy. No Cassettes or CDs. No Downloads. Just Play.
Our school library just purchased a few of these devices, and the librarian asked me to demo one. I took it with me on a school trip and offered it to students during the ride. It got mixed reviews.
While most students were eager to listen to the device and sat quietly doing so, there was one student in particular that was frustrated by the fact that there was only one book to listen to from this one machine. In the world of iPods and mP3s, this student commented that he wanted more choices than just one book. He pushed the buttons a lot in order to figure out how they worked.
According to the Southern Scene company:
Each title is supplied in specially designed library packaging and includes:
- The Playaway digital audiobook
- Earbud' style earphones
- User instructions
- Two batteries (one inside the unit and one spare)
- 10 volume levels
- 3 voice speed levels: normal, fast and fastest
- Bookmark your favourite sections
- Skip forward and back chapters and bookmarks
- Rewind, fast forward and pause
- Remembers where you stopped
- Can also be used with most headphones,
speakers and car adapters
- Time remaining and battery level on LCD screen
- Full 12 months warranty
Based on my knowledge and experience with audio books, I like this unique alternative to books on cd which can get scratched or a expensive iPod that could easily get dropped and broken. Educators should consider the Playaway for students that benefit from books on cd or tape.
