Those of you who have read my some of my previous blog posts, may have seen two posts from November last year, regarding little Lily Hall, the daughter of a friend of mine who suffers from Rett Syndrome?
If you haven't read them and wish to do so, please check out them out on the following links.
I wanted to update on the progress and to share an amazing development.
Firstly, the money raised last winter, went a long way to obtaining the vital funds required to allow Lily to have a better quality of life, especially in regards to the special toilet, which offers her some form of independence back. The specialist piece of equipment washes and dries her, and flushes via a remote control. Unfortunately the family had to wait until August for the news that the planning permission was agreed, and some changes have now had to be made regarding the bath unit, and instead they will get a wet room/shower, with a smaller bath for her to have the ability to splash at bathtime!
Alongside that amazing and long awaited news, Lily’s brave supermum - Kerry, has somehow found the time to write and release a children’s book! The book which has been available on Amazon for a fortnight has already hit the #1 Best Seller position on the Amazon chart for Diseases, Illnesses and Injuries for Young Adults.
Forever Be, is a beautifully written short story of three siblings who have different issues, but the same longing for love and togetherness within their family, despite middle sister ‘Rosie’ having very different needs and abilities.
Using her own first hand perspective on how children endeavour to understand something that is different from them, this book is a great way to allow other children to understand that we have differences, and that despite having to communicate in a different way, ‘Rosie’ still loves her family and her life, and the love and honesty which comes across is real.
As a parent of an inquisitive youngster, my son will always question things which are different. In his own way, he has asked various questions about the book when we have read it together at bed time, and this open conversation is a great way to detach stigma from issues such as disability and different needs. At first he wanted to know when she was in a chair, and why she couldn’t eat properly, whether he fully understands at this age is irrelevant, as in my opinion asking questions is an important part of development. Children will accept most things once they understand them, so a book like this is a vital tool in enabling this understanding. It is the type of thing I hope that nurseries and schools encourage, and in my opinion this book should be available in schools and libraries.
Another aspect of the amazing achievement that this is for Kerry, is that her selflessness again shines through, with her willingness to donate a percentage of all profits to Reverse Rett to help fund treatment of Rett Syndrome. I have nothing but admiration for Kerry and the rest of her family.
If you would like to order a copy of Forever Be – it is available via Amazon.
The family will continue to fundraise, and from time to time need a little help themselves. Any donation is much appreciated.To keep upto date with Lily’s progress, join her facebook group, where the family share videos, pictures and updates: https://www.facebook.com/hopeforlilypad/.

Sarah Ferguson booking
An international personality, successful career woman and single working mother, Sarah Ferguson, The Duchess of York, is an inspiring role model whose extraordinary life is a testament to the powers of faith, resolve and resiliency. Against the backdrop of celebrity and privilege, Sarah speaks candidly about her perils on the world stage and about her journey from near-ruin to reinvention and redemption.
As the author, most recently, of What I Know Now: Simple Lessons Learned the Hard Way, Sarah shares the hard-won lessons that have helped her work through challenges, told with her characteristic candor and down-to-earth charm. Her thoughtful, simple approach to dealing with obstacles applies to the struggles we all face in life.
Bringing her natural warmth and talent as a storyteller to the podium, Sarah draws from her extraordinary life to illuminate a wide range of topics. From overcoming personal struggles to living authentically, Sarah shares compelling memories from her own life to engage audiences in an inspiring, candid speech.
After graduating from Queen’s Secretarial College, Sarah worked in public relations and fine art. After a year-long romance with Prince Andrew, the couple married in 1986. They had two children, Princess Beatrice Elizabeth Mary of York and Princess Eugenie Victoria Helena of York.
Suddenly catapulted into international view, Sarah had a short honeymoon with the media that was followed by constant attacks in the British media that scrutinized her clothes, weight and personality. After several years of her personal struggles being played out on the public stage, her rocky marriage with Prince Andrew ended in separation in 1992.
Since her divorce from Prince Andrew, Sarah has remained in the media spotlight as a commercial spokesperson, passionate humanitarian and successful author. She has represented leading companies such as Weight Watcher’s International, Waterford-Wedgwood and Complex Technologies. Sarah is internationally recognized for her support of health-related causes around the world and humanitarian work for children in need. Her books include an autobiography, My Story, several self-help and dieting books such as Reinventing Yourself with The Duchess of York and Dieting with The Duchess; and children’s stories, including the Budgie the Little Helicopter series and Little Red books.
Media interest in Sarah remains as strong as ever. She is frequently the subject of interviews seen in leading national newspapers and magazines and she is a popular guest on top-rated television and radio programs. A true testament to her popularity and recognition internationally, she was recently a featured presenter at the Golden Globes Award ceremony in Los Angeles.

The Curious One
From Food Stamps to CEO: One Woman’s Journey Through Struggle, Tragedy, Success & Love
Chelsea Berler was born curious. From a young age—she felt a pull to think differently. And while she thought her differentness made life more interesting, she always felt judged for her often quirky and curious ways. Still, it was her strength and belief in herself that allowed her to come through the struggle and heartbreak of her childhood and eventually make a dent in the world she tried for so long to understand.
Today, Chelsea is the CEO of a boutique, marketing agency that supports businesses around the world. But more than that, she is a champion for people who are driven to bring their talent and greatness into the world on their own terms.
The Curious One is the story of how Chelsea left behind the heartache of her past and found peace in her present. It’s about the triumph that comes from living your life on purpose, not only when it’s easy, but when it feels like your life is crumbling to pieces at your feet. With each turn of the page you’ll discover the resiliency of boundless love, the power of commitment, the magic of acting curious, and what it takes to live with arms wide open.
As Seen On:
Praise for The Curious One
“A powerful story of loss, love and redemption that will stir the souls of it’s readers and remind you you’re not alone.”
—Gabrielle Bernstein, gabbyb.tv
“A book of wisdom, compassion, and piercing honesty.”
—Tamara Gold, tamaragold.com
“Chelsea is sharp, strategic and dedicated. Read this if you’re curious what a new definition of business success could look like.”
—Laura Roeder, lauraroeder.com
“Chelsea has a no ego, no fear attitude that is essential to entrepreneurism. There are few people that truly understand marketing, and even fewer that have the drive to turn that passion into success. Chelsea exhibits both, and freely offers her wisdom to anyone willing to listen. It’s this ironclad resolve, mixed with pure spunk that has me convinced she’ll be successful in whatever endeavor she sets her mind to.”
—Brian Jambor, infusionsoft.com
“Chelsea’s life journey has taken her into places that would be daunting for most of us. Her tenacity and creativity allowed her to turn her extraordinary challenges into a masterful business. She is a guiding force for women everywhere—especially those who need a map. Go where Chelsea leads.”
—Indrani Goradia, indranislight.org
“Chelsea is a force of nature.”
—Dave Dee, davedee.com

The Adeptus Mechanicus are the keepers and manufacturers of technology for the Imperium of Man. It is a role they guard jealously, using their own standing armies, engines of war and god-machines. It is within their power to unleash the most arcane weaponry in the Imperium, and they do so without mercy. Grim processions of soldiers stride in perfect unison, each one a disturbing fusion of man and machine. Behind them stomp soulless automata, and towering over them are enormous walkers. An Adeptus Mechanicus army marching to war is a sight both terrifying and glorious.
The most complete guide to the servants of the Machine God, Codex: Adeptus Mechanicus covers rules as well as background of the different sects of this mysterious cult. Within this Warhammer 40,000 sourcebook you’ll find datasheets for the Cult Mechanicus, Skitarii, and, for the first time, Questor Mechanicus Knights, as well as new Stratagems, Warlord Traits, and Relics. There are also rules for seven forge worlds, including classics like Mars as well as more niche factions like Agripinaa and Stygies VIII.


Stephen has dedicated himself to spreading the deepest and most practical levels of spiritual knowledge about the soul–our real identity. It is his strongest realization that our existence on this earthly plane becomes much easier and more vibrant the more we expand our spiritual awareness to perceive the higher dimensions and purpose of things around us.
Though this world may give us numerous challenges, when we rise above the basic materialistic view and its limited search for solutions, our evolutionary development on all levels greatly accelerates. By recognizing that we are all spiritual beings who are, basically, attempting to achieve the same essentials for our existence–namely love, acceptance, harmony, peace, and happiness, not to mention the ordinary needs of food, water, clothing and shelter–we can reach a new level of cooperation with each other. Then everything can be much easier for everyone. It is Stephen’s conviction that this can be attained by the distribution of genuine spiritual knowledge. This is one of Stephen’s purposes in what he does.
It is through this means that we can discover who we are and get a better understanding of what is our position in this universe and our relationship with God. Fortunately, many of the answers to the numerous questions in this regard have already been given, as seen in the ancient spiritual texts of the East. These have provided not only the insights but also the timeless methods for our continued spiritual development. Stephen has studied these numerous ancient texts and practiced the methods prescribed therein for over 30 years. He is now presenting this enlightening information in a much needed, concise, and easy to read format.
Stephen Knapp grew up in a Christian family, during which time he seriously studied the Bible to understand its teachings. In his late teenage years, however, he sought answers to questions not easily explained in Christian theology. So, he began to search through other religions and philosophies from around the world and started to find the answers for which he was looking. He also studied a variety of occult sciences, ancient mythology, mysticism, yoga, and the spiritual teachings of the East. Finally, after his first reading of the Bhagavad-gita, the classic summary of Vedic philosophy known as The Song of God, he felt he had found the last piece of the puzzle he had been putting together through all of his research. This increased his understanding of everything else he had been studying. Therefore, he continued to research all of the major Vedic texts of India to gain a better understanding of the Vedic science, until he became a full-fledged follower and practitioner of Sanatana-dharma. Now he also tirelessly works to protect, preserve and promote the deep spiritual knowledge of Vedic philosophy and its traditions. An introduction to his research, writing and projects can be found at his website: www.stephen-knapp.com.
It is known amongst all Eastern mystics that anyone, regardless of qualifications, academic or otherwise, who does not engage in the spiritual practices described in the Vedic texts, cannot actually enter into understanding the depths of the Vedic spiritual science, nor acquire the realizations that should accompany it. So, rather than pursuing his research in an academic atmosphere at a university, Stephen directly engaged in the spiritual disciplines that have been recommended for hundreds of years. He continued his study of Vedic knowledge and spiritual practice under the guidance of a spiritual master, His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Through this process he was given the spiritual name of Sri Nandanandana dasa and became initiated into the genuine and authorized spiritual line of the Brahma-Madhava-Gaudiya sampradaya. This is a disciplic succession that descends back through Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Sri Vyasadeva, the compiler of Vedic literature, and further back to Lord Sri Krishna, who originally enlightened Lord Brahma to help in the universal creation, and who again appeared on this planet 5,000 years ago in Mathura, India to display His pastimes.
Besides being brahminically initiated, Stephen has also been to India numerous times and traveled extensively throughout the country, visiting most of the major holy places and temples, and many minor ones, and gaining a wide variety of spiritual experiences that only such places can give. His knowledge of India and familiarity with traveling in such a diverse country has made him an advisor for those who would like information concerning their own journeys to India. Stephen is also a free-lance photographer and does what he calls cultural photojournalism, capturing the essence of India and spiritual life in practice, which can help explain and show the depth of the culture. He enjoys giving slide shows on the holy places, and mixing photos with philosophy. You can see samples of his photography on this website.
Stephen continues to travel to India on a regular basis, giving lectures on the benefits and glories of the Vedic tradition. His life is dedicated to spreading the eternal knowledge of the soul, Sanatana-dharma, and the Vedic teachings to help everyone get a better understanding of themselves and bring everyone closer to God. He has especially focused on the sadhana of bhakti-yoga and mantra-yoga to purify the mind and consciousness, and awake one’s love for the Supreme Being.
Stephen is also the founder of the World Relief Network. Its goal is to help relieve the sorrow, suffering and confusion on the planet by the dissemination of genuine spiritual knowledge and the means for individual and social enlightenment, and to work with others who feel the same. Many of his books have been first published through the World Relief Network.

Be lost in the Call
Lord, said David, since you do not need us,
why did you create these two worlds?
Reality replied: O prisoner of time,
I was a secret treasure of kindness and generosity,
and I wished this treasure to be known,
so, I created a mirror: its shining face, the heart;
its darkened back, the world;
The back would please you if you've never seen the face. Has anyone ever produced a mirror out of mud and straw Yet clean away the mud and straw,
and a mirror might be revealed.
Until the juice ferments a while in the cask,
it isn't wine. If you wish your heart to be bright,
you must do a little work.
My King addressed the soul of my flesh:
You return just as you left.
Where are the traces of my gifts?
We know that alchemy transforms copper into gold.


PETALING JAYA: Divorce is a traumatic experience. And it’s not just true for the adults involved but for the children who now find themselves thrust into a situation they are not familiar with.
They may have questions that never get answered as their parents are too preoccupied with navigating the changes in their own lives.
However, parents owe it to their kids to make the transition as smooth and painless as possible – more so when a new partner enters the picture.
Through her second children’s picture book, “Two Turning Three”, author Yuri Tiru Pillai Schneider, 35, aims to raise awareness about the importance of putting a child’s well-being at the forefront of a divorce through healthy co-parenting arrangements.
The book tells the story of a single father, Papa and his toddler son, Ian. Through visually appealing illustrations and easy-to-understand language, the book shows Papa’s life as a single father as he balances his career, cares for his son and transitions into a relationship with a new partner.
“I used very simplistic terms to help parents illustrate the split in a better way,” she said, adding that the book is meant for children aged three to eight years old.
This is a prequel to her first book, “Two Homes, One Family”, which depicts Ian’s story of dividing his time between two homes and calling two women his mother.
Both books are based on true stories as Ian is the author’s stepson and Papa is her husband, Sven Schneider.
“When I released my first book, many of my readers who grew up as children in divorced family backgrounds felt like they didn’t have anything that helped them transition,” she said.
“So, they were very lost at that time and most of them struggled until adulthood and even in their marriages as well. They asked if I could write a book that explains in detail, right from the beginning, what divorce is to a child,” she added.
So, she asked her husband if he would be comfortable in telling his story and she was delighted when he agreed.
The couple also thought it would be a good opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of a father figure in a relationship, especially after a divorce, as they don’t get as much attention as single mothers.
Recalling her experience of writing the book, Yuri said that she got to know her husband better. His father passed away when he was very young.
“I didn’t realise how much losing his dad impacted his perspective as a father today. Upon delving deeper, I found that the loss actually created his commitment and love towards his own son.”
She gifted the first printed copy of the book to her husband on Father’s Day. She also recalled a particularly touching response from Ian who is six and a half years old today.
“When he first read the book, he said, ‘Papa was there when I was zero years old, and I will always remember to love Papa even when I am 100 years old.’
“Conceptually, he understands what happened to him. And when he grows up, if he is ever in doubt, he can refer to this,” she said.
As to what she hopes to leave her readers with, she shared: “My main hope is that the book will neutralise the tone of divorce. Obviously, you cannot make it positive. My bet is to just make it neutral.
“Let’s not antagonise anyone for choosing to divorce because you only have one life and you want to live it to your fullest,” she concluded, adding that she also hoped her book would reach families who needed it the most.
“Two Turning Three” is priced at RM35.
Or purchase both “Two Turning Three” and “Two Homes, One Family” at RM50, inclusive of postal charges throughout the Klang Valley.

Last Tuesday morning, a group of the library’s adult English language students went for a tour of the majestic Hartford City Hall, located just across the street. The place is amazing!
Veteran Hartford resident and current town clerk, John Bazzano, was our guide. Constructed in 1914 on land donated by Hartford resident and financier, J.P. Morgan, this city jewel boasts exquisite turn-of-the-century architectural designs, including marble stairways, gilded décor, and vaulted glass ceilings. The Christmas tree made from red poinsettias added some nice holiday cheer.
But more importantly, we had a chance to find out what City Hall does for Hartford residents, such as providing birth, marriage, and death certificates, property deeds, and voter registration cards. City Hall is also home to the Mayor’s office and is the place where city laws are passed by the city council. We had a chance to visit these rooms and even sit in the city council chairs! Hartford residents are welcomed to go to the Mayor’s office with any questions or needs, and to attend city council meetings on the second and fourth Monday of each month at 7pm.

Title: Political Advertising in Nigeria
Author: Sam-Loco Smith
Publisher: PrintMinders, Lagos
Reviewer: Henry Akubuiro
Remarkable achievers are lionised for making a success of their chosen endeavours. However, the greatest achievers are the trailblazers –those who think out of the box, working their arduous way uphill to create what has not been there before and set a standard for others to follow.
Sam-Loco Smith’s Political Advertising in Nigeria: Creativity, Intrigue & Electoral Outcome lends itself to the latter category: it is the first major book on political advertising out in public domain written by a Nigerian. The gamut of its contents chronicles Nigeria’s political advertising from 1958 till the present, with dozens of data culled from Nigerian dailies.
Smith’s book does more than that, however. It swells the offering by presenting the views of advertising stakeholders in the country, especially in the area of political advertising, and other matters relating to advertising in general. It also include excerpts of reactions by newsmakers published earlier in national dailies sequel to some controversial political adverts published in the media in 2015.
With a PhD in Mass Communication, Smith shows a mastery in data collation and research, analysing over 2,000 advertisements in Nigeria’s national dailies, spanning over decades, and subjecting, in some instances, the tone of the adverts to expository, discourses by advertising gurus.
Introducing the book in a piece entitled “Political Advertising in Nigeria, 1959-2019”, the author juxtaposes two controversial political adverts –Ayo Fayose’s January 19th, 2015 political advert published in Nigerian dailies and the “Daisy Girl”, a sixty second TV political advert aired in the lead up to the 1964 USA presidential election.
While Fayose’s advert reads like a death wish to Muhammadu Buhari who was then running against the incumbent Nigerian president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, as it warns Nigerians to choose between life and death that of the “Daisy Girls” is regarded as a turning point in the history of political advertising globally. Aired by the incumbent President Lyndon Johnson’s campaign team, it was an important factor in the landslide victory over Barry Gold Water by the former.
Smith echoes that various political adverts mounted ahead of various general elections in the country between 1959 and 2019 contributed significantly to the final electoral outcomes, which goes to show the importance of political advertising.
In his assessment of 2019 elections and political advertising, the author submits that, though 97 political parties and 73 presidential candidates participated in the 2019 general election, the poll was a direct fight between the candidates of the APC (Muhammad Buhari) and that of the PDP (Atiku Abubakar).
“Compared to the intense and fierce approach of political advertising campaigns in the 2015 general election, the 2019 political advertising campaign was generally hailed for its less disruptive character,” writes the author on page 27, a development that probably arose from the efforts of the Advertising Practitioners Council of Nigeria (APCON) to ensure an issue-based political advertising campaign.
In an interview with former APCON Chief Executive, Alhaji Garba Kankarofi, he admits that the aforementioned Fayose’s advert was never forwarded to the regulatory body, ASP, for vetting. If it had been, “…it would not by any stretch of imagination be approved for exposure. It did not meet the basic requirements of the law relating to advertisements …. We condemned it then, and sternly warned media houses to desist for exposing political and other form of advertisement that would incite ethnic, religious or political tension in the country.”
Smith dedicates the next chapter for reactions to that controversial advert, from AFCON to a coalition of civil rights groups under the aegis of the Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room (who described it as being “in extreme bad taste”, and stakeholders in the polity.
For former Nigerian president, Olusegun Obasanjo, “Ayo Fayose mocked the death of our great heroes. This is too much of politics to play”; while Prof Chidi Odinkalu, former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) observed that it offended “public decency and violated all known norms and decorum”.
There are some illuminating interviews in this book that do justice to its major preoccupation. One is with Professor Ogwezzy-Ndisika who comes with a rich experience in broadcasting, public relations and advertising. She sums up the 2015 presidential campaign thus: “…we had a lot of wrap-around, huge money in millions and some of them acerbic in nature, and for some of them hate was the content of the advert” (p.75).
In another interview with Feyijimi Awosika, MD/CEO Insight Communications, we are given an overview of the political advertising landscape in Nigeria yesterday, today and tomorrow, among other issues. There is yet another interview with Mobolaji Akeem Sanusi, MD of LASAA (Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency).
Others include Dr Josef Bel-Molokwu, Chairman/Lead Editor, The Biographic and Reference Book Centre, Inc; Pa Chris Doghudje, and advertising practitioner; Modibbo Kawu; Ijedi Iyoha, APCON Acting Registrar; Prof Armstrong Idachaba, a professor of Mass Communication at Godfrey Okoye University, Enugu; among other stakeholders too numerous to mention.
There is a touch of history in the book, too, especially the chapter on “Origin of Political Advertising in Nigeria”. The book traces the Obafemi Awolowo era as a watershed in Nigerian political advertising from the 1960s, especially his deployment of helicopter in creating a skywriting effect of “Life More Abundant, AG, Awo”. The ante of political advertising, we are told, upped with SDP and late MKO Abiola political adverts built around the mantra of “Hope 93”.
In the book, you will find samples and analyses of either issue-based adverts, or attack/negative political campaign messages. These are fully thrashed out in the chapter entitled “Review and Textual Analyses of 2015 Newspaper Political Advertisements”.
The book furnishes the reader with data from major Nigerian newspapers detailing how the major political parties in the country performed in terms of political advertising in the 2015 presidential, recorded as the most expensive in Nigerian history, running millions of dollars.
Apart from the major players, we also have analyses of political advert placements by major candidates running for the Lagos governorship election in 2015: Jimi Agbaje of PDP and Akinwumi Ambode of APC. A chapter in this book also scrutinises outdoor political advertising that caught the eyes in the intervening period.
As you go further the book, you see adverts placed in national dailies to ridicule the person of former INEC boss, Prof Attahiru Jega, who was accused of supporting the opposition candidate in the 2015 presidential election. What is the author’s view on the merits of those adverts? Please, find out for yourself from page 380.
Being the first of its kind in Nigeria, Smith’s Political Advertising in Nigeria: Creativity, Intrigue & Electoral Outcome has, unsurprisingly, been hailed by scholars and advertising stakeholders in the country, one of which is Dr. Josef Bel-Molokwu.
He echoes, “No doubt, Dr. Sam Smith invested a great deal of research effort in this book – a fact I can so freely attest to, having had the privilege of following the author’s mind from the conception and planning to the gathering of materials and writing the draft, and now, proudly, to the completion of an outstanding work.”
In a nutshell, this book is a magnum opus on political advertising, and, as such, would be beneficial to advertising agencies, marketers, politicians, researchers, scholars and the general public needing enlightenment on this issue.
The author, in the next edition, however, should broaden his research base to include political advertising on TV, radio and other channels of mass media, except they are deliberately left out in this debut edition.


Design a book for myself, to study the mood of missing somebody. Miss Miss shows many people's experiences about missing someone or something. Also it tells my own story about how I miss my dad, and how this kind of emotion subtly changes as I get older.
Miss Miss is a book for people who are interested in studying emotions and who are interested in how emotions change people's lives. This book includes many studies about the emotion of longing, and gives people information and tips about how to deal with their own emotions. In this book, I used a very soft mint blue color to show the blue feeling of longing. I used many different typesettings and layouts to give this book a quiet yet lively feeling.


Trilobites in Murchison's Siluria
Sir Roderick Impey Murchison published a comprehensive work on the
Silurian System in Great Britain and elsewhere in 1838. Initially
comprising rocks approximately the interval now known as
Silurian, Murchison's definition of Silurian later expanded to encompass
much of the pre-Old Red Sandstone (i.e. pre-Devonian) Paleozoic
rocks in Great Britain, including intervals now considered to be Cambrian
and Ordovician in age. His book, Siluria described the geology
and fossil content of much of the Paleozoic, and provided excellent
illustrations of much of the flora and fauna. This document provides
a sampling of trilobite illustrations from the fourth edition,
published in 1867:

From their study, the American leaders of the War of Independence and the constitution-making era learned, by their own account, what political blunders of ancient times ought to be avoided by the republic of the United States. Most of the British settlers were from England and Wales, with smaller numbers from Scotland and Ireland.
The British Constitution is an example of this sort of basic body of laws. For this reason they did not place all their trust in any one branch of government, and they established checks on the powers of each.
It was optional and some towns proved reluctant. In this letter by the chief justice of Hispaniola who is appalled by the Columbus brothers' leadership, we glimpse the desperation of the settlers and the Indians caught in power struggles among the Spanish officials.
The first English people to arrive in America were the members of the Roanoke Colony who came to North Carolina in Julywith 17 women, 91 men, and 9 boys as the founding colonists.
Though theoretically a republic would be any form of government other than a monarchy, it was generally understood by Americans to mean a government in which the people were sovereign. There is no supreme court, as in the United States, which has the right to declare an act of Parliament unconstitutional.
Pete Hardin takes a look at the financial mess known as the United States dairy industry. War Production Board In Januaryas part of another effort to mesh civilian and military needs, President Roosevelt established a new mobilization agency, the War Production Board, and placed it under the direction of Donald Nelson, a former Sears Roebuck executive.
The oldest and most respected constitution is the Constitution of England. The first people who moved west were people who caught and sold animal skins such as John Colter and Jim Bridger.
This can be accomplished by limiting and dividing power. But because people are restless and quarrelsome, few constitutions have lasted for very long.
Between April and Junethe period of the most stringent federal controls on inflation, the annual rate of inflation was just 3. The four above are particularly important, however, and are now found in one form or another in the constitution of every country that enjoys a high degree of liberty, order, and justice.
There are today more than one hundred national constitutions in force throughout the world. And the Roman constitution Edition: For the delegates at Philadelphia, the most interesting feature of the Roman Republican constitution was its system of checks upon the power of men in public authority, and its balancing of power among different public offices.
The framers of a constitution ought to understand the political traditions of their time and country. Parliament, in other words, is supreme, and its authority cannot be challenged by the Crown or the judiciary.
Members of the Cabinet, however, also hold a seat in Parliament. This is a major reason why the American Constitution still flourishes in our day. Certain features of the English Constitution were rejected by the Americans, however, including the monarchy and the principle of legislative supremacy.
Order means the arrangement of duties and rights in a society so that people may live together in peace and harmony.
They ate their horses, then rats, then shoe leather. Beneath the highest-level agencies like the WPB and the OWM, a vast array of other federal organizations administered everything from labor the War Manpower Commission to merchant shipbuilding the Maritime Commission and from prices the Office of Price Administration to food the War Food Administration.
One delegate to the Federal Convention who argued strenuously for a new constitution, and then later led the fight for ratification of the one that was finally drafted, was Alexander Hamilton of New York.
Since many of his supporters were poor people who had not voted before, he rewarded them with government jobs, which is called "spoils" or "patronage".
Labor Unions Labor unions and their members benefited especially. The gross national product of the U.When we talk about the European settling of North America, the word "first" creeps into the discussion very soon—the first ever, the first "permanent," the first "permanent" that still exists today, the first with women and children, the first Spanish/French/English, etc.
- Throughout the colonial period, both economic and religious concerns contributed to the settling of British North America.
The statement that the "economic concerns had more to do with the settling of British North America than did religious concerns" is valid.

But how did it feel to go through that war in our own community? Many young men from Manitoba marched onto the troop trains in the fall of 1914–singing, cocky, even swaggering–and with absolutely no idea of what awaited them.
Jim Blanchard’s admirable book, Winnipeg’s Great War: A City Comes of Age tells us with thoroughness and restraint exactly what awaited them and how their parents and friends and the elites of the city reacted to the news from the front that was increasingly distressing after the first huge losses of April and May 1915.
First published in 2010, Blanchard’s book is receiving renewed attention because of the centennial. He weaves two separate strands together. The first is the participation of the Canadian military in the war with special emphasis on the regiments raised in Manitoba: the Fort Garry Horse, Lord Strathcona’s Horse, the Winnipeg Grenadiers, the Cameron Highlanders, the Winnipeg Rifles and others. The second strand follows the home front in Winnipeg as the realization sank in that the war would not be over by Christmas; that it would be hard fought and take years to resolve.
We have had a century to pour over the events of World War I. It would be hard to find anyone now who regards it as anything other than a catastrophe. Yet Blanchard shows that while the war was going on and well into the 1920s, Winnipeggers by and large supported the War and felt that victory had been worth the sacrifice.
Winnipeg’s business class funded regiments, raised millions of dollars, provided the first Returned Soldier’s Association in the country, and stoically waved their sons and daughters off to war. The book is particularly strong on the contribution made by women in those efforts and as nurses closer to the action. Yet the ample quotations from letters, diaries and newspaper reports are what really bring the war experience to a 21st century reader. Alec Waugh writes angrily from the front about his friends who are able-bodied but have not yet enlisted. A returned wounded man tells a newspaper reporter about the image of a particular German he shot, how that image repeats over and over in his mind. Private George Macleod, who lived the next street over from where I now live, is one of many listed as wounded from other familiar streets in a newspaper casualty list.
The book’s subtitle, “A City Comes of Age,” can be read several ways, as Blanchard surely intended. It was a hard and bitter coming of age, during which people simply had to hang on to the belief that their sacrifices were worthwhile or they could not have done the things necessary to bring the war to an end.
Winnipeg’s Great War: A City Comes of Age is available at McNally Robinson, Chapters and Amazon.ca

More About the Book
Introduction, IPA, Rhythm Highlighters (90 pages) The book begins with 45 pages of IPA study and focuses on general rhythmic issues for well-spoken American English, before delving into the specific spoken sounds of Neutral American Speech (NAS) in detail.
Neutral American Speech (NAS) (237 pages) is the most practical dialect an actor can study. Sometimes referred to as General American, it is spoken without regionalisms that identify an actor’s specific point of origin or ‘home’ sounds. When effectively incorporated, the actor – and therefore the character – is not revealed as explicitly Southern, Mid-Western, or from Boston, New York, Chicago, Tennessee, New Hampshire, Texas, etc. He/she is therefore ‘neutral’.
Classical American dialect (89 pages) offers an intermediate option between well-pronounced Neutral American and Standard British. It builds upon Neutral American, blending additional rhythmic and sound elements, which result in more formal or heightened speech without sounding British to an American ear.
Mid-Atlantic dialect (18 pages), which often sounds like Standard British to the untrained ear, is covered in brief, as is its relationship to Classical American and Standard British.
Standard British (RP) (63 pages), the dialect traditionally spoken by the English upper and upper-middle classes, is appropriate for characters in period plays, those of the 19th century authored by Shaw and Wilde, or Restoration playwrights Congreve and Farquhar, among others.
Note: It is also beneficial for American actors to know Standard British as a foundation on which to build their study of foreign accents. Speakers of Standard British have taught English as a second language to many people worldwide, and this is reflected in these people’s spoken English sounds.
“Patricia Fletcher’s book Classically Speaking is a compendium of everything there is to know about how words are formed when speaking Neutral American, Classical American and Standard British, both using IPA and in detailed description of lip, tongue and jaw positioning. She explains figures of speech, rhythms of speech and speech inflections and offers hundreds of practice texts from one-liners to tongue twisters to poems and speeches. The serious student will find everything here to expand and enrich his or her awareness of and expertise in speech, dialects and text interpretation. Ms. Fletcher is a brilliant and sensitive teacher – her knowledge is faithfully represented in these pages.”
Founder, Linklater Voice
“Whether you are an actor, voice teacher, or director, Classically Speaking by Patricia Fletcher is A TERRIFIC AND COMPREHENSIVE WORKBOOK for language and articulation.

On this day in 1605, Miguel de Cervantes published Don Quixote. Cervantes’ novel, originally written in Spanish, remains one of the most influential, most reprinted, and most translated books ever written.
The novel’s plot begins with an ordinary man named Alonso Quijano who voraciously reads romantic tales of chivalry. Alonso becomes so obsessed with the stories of knights errant that he decides to become one himself. Taking the new name Don Quixote de La Mancha, he mounts his horse Rocinante and joins forces with his sidekick Sancho Panza to battle the forces of evil and to defend the weak.
Deluded and clearly insane, Don Quixote attacks windmills, thinking they are hulking giants. Ordinary inns to Quixote become castles, and peasant girls become beautiful princesses.
Literary critics call Don Quixote the first modern novel, and the critic Harold Bloom argued that only Shakespeare approached the genius of Cervantes’ writing. William Faulkner read Don Quixote every year, and the Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky proclaimed Don Quixote his favorite literary character (1).
Often when an idea or a style originates from a specific person, that idea or style takes on new meaning, not just as a noun but as an adjective. There are many examples of these proper nouns that become eponymous adjectives (sometimes called proper adjectives), such as: Darwinian, Epicurean, or Kafkaesque. When proper adjectives spring from literature, it’s usually the author’s name that transforms from noun to adjective (as in Orwellian, Shakespearean, or Byronic), but occasionally a character comes along who is so distinct and so unique that the character’s name takes on a more general adjectival meaning. Cervantes’ Don Quixote is such a character. Check any dictionary and you will see that the adjective quixotic refers not just to Cervantes’ famous knight, but also to anyone who is “exceedingly idealistic, unrealistic, or impractical.”
Today’s Challenge: Autobiography of an Adjective
What are some examples of adjectives that derive from the name of a specific person, real or imaginary? Select one of the eponymous adjectives below and research the etymology of the word, including the biography of the person behind the word. Then, imagine the person behind the word is telling the story of how he or she became so well known that his or her name became an adjective. Also, have the person explain the meaning of their adjective as it is used today and also what ideas or styles it embodies? (Common Core Writing 2 – Expository)
Arthurian, Byronic, Chauvinistic, Darwinian, Dickensian, Epicurean, Faustian, Hippocratic, Jeffersonian, Kafkaesque, Leninist, Lutheran, Marxist, Newtonian, Oedipal, Orwellian, Platonic, Pyrrhic, Reaganesque, Sisyphean, Stentorian, Trepsicordian, Victorian, Wilsonian, Zoroastrian
Quotation of the Day: It is one thing to write as poet and another to write as a historian: the poet can recount or sing about things not as they were, but as they should have been, and the historian must write about them not as they should have been, but as they were, without adding or subtracting anything from the truth. –Miguel de Cervantes

COMING Fall 2019: What’s Better Than This? Book Review in Wiser Living in Maine
On January 14, 2019, Ms. Salmon joined the Friends of Dana-Farber and the Blum Family Resource Center for a New Year's Author Panel discussing how others have used writing to cope with cancer. This event was free and open to all - patients, caregivers, family members, and anyone interested in learning more.


“East is East, West is West and never the twain shall meet” – Rudyard Kipling’s poem “The Ballad of East and West”. We at Great Lakes believe it has met considering our motto of, “Global mindset, Indian roots”. Do you subscribe to this view? If so, why and how? If not, why not? (min 200 max 400 words)
I believe that global changes over the past hundred years have meant that the twain between the East and the West has indeed met.
When Rudyard Kipling wrote the poem in the late nineteenth century, his opinions of the Eastern and Western civilizations must have been shaped by the perceived dichotomies between the societies in India and his motherland Britain. These dichotomies would have included differences in the political structure with one having a representative government while much of the other was under traditional monarchies, differences in educational structures, with one emphasizing writing and analytical thought and the other emphasizing memorization and meta-physical thought, differences in economic structure with one an industrial powerhouse and the other largely agrarian, and differences in social customs and traditions, exemplified by practices such as child marriage and sati. Given the political and social contexts of his time, these differences would have seemed insurmountable barriers to inter-civilizational relations.
However, tremendous changes over the past century have meant that most of these barriers have either disappeared or been greatly reduced. Thanks to the international dissemination of ideas, both the East and the West have mutually moved closer to each other. Eastern societies such as India, Japan and Singapore have seen value in adopting Western political systems that emphasise representative democracy, women’s rights and egalitarianism, and Western education systems that emphasise skills in writing, mathematics and science, while Western societies have eagerly embraced Eastern philosophies such as Buddhism and Hinduism, and Eastern practices such as Yoga. We increasingly see a convergence of linguistic interests, with English being adopted as the de facto universal lingua franca, economic interests flowing from globalization, and political interests such as in tackling climate change, international piracy and international terrorism. The diffusion of ideas brought about by tourism, cinema, literature and student exchanges has led to a radical change in the way the East and West perceive each other. This profusion of ideas has lead to the realization that each society has much to gain from the experiences and expertise of the other.
Given the intertwining of interests and the momentum we see in bridging international barriers, I believe that cultural cooperation and assimilation between the East and the West is here to stay.

Graphic Recorder Tom Bailey captured the discussions at the workshops in his distinctive cartoon style. Tom is a freelance illustrator and well-being worker with Arts and Minds
Experimental Designer and Maker Jessie White also has some experience in nursing and care delivery. She was asked to make something to capture and promote discussion about either representations of the wounded body for patient centred care and/or how everyday artefacts of wound care in domestic or clinical use are entangled with identities and embodied experiences of health and illness. Jessie produced ‘Wound Care for All’
Collections Curators from the Thackray Medical Museum, Lauren Ryall-Stockton and Catherine Robins have been helping us run object handling sessions at the workshops. Thackray Medical Museum tells the story of medicine from Roman times to the present day and cares for over 70,000 objects, archival items and books. Only a small selection of these can be displayed, with many more in storage. The museum works hard to facilitate access to these hidden collections and offers bookable group sessions as well as bespoke workshops, such as those for the Wound Care project. For more information about how to get up close to the history of medicine, visit their Group Tours page http://www.thackraymedicalmuseum.co.uk/visit/group-tours/
We have supported the digitisation of several of Dame Kathleen Raven’s notebooks from her training. These include notes taken during lectures at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, London, and the City of London Maternity Hospital on a huge range of medical-related topics, including dietetics and surgery, anatomy and physiology, and gynaecology, drugs and the skin. An important of her training – and standard practice at the time – involved learning how to care for patients with surgical and chronic wounds. For example, during ‘Mr Hume’s Surgical Lectures’, Raven noted that in the case of immobile patients ‘[a]ny interference with the blood supply of the part, especially in ill people, may lead to the formation of an ulcer. When the skin is devitalised, organisms from the surface of the skin may invade the tissues, and this occurs commonly in bad nursing.’ (Kathleen Raven Papers, MS.1721/2/4).
The history of nursing itself has remained a largely neglected area in wider histories of medicine. This is at odds with the historical importance of nursing in healthcare, and the critical role played by nurses in the modern clinic and in the community. By making available primary sources such as these we hope that nursing histories – a key aspect of wound care – and histories of medical education and specialisation might become increasing objects of focus for future research.

FAQ: Registration of Books of Commerce Before the Chamber of Commerce
In accordance with article 19 of the Colombian Commercial Code, all merchants must be registered in the commercial registry and must register all acts, books and documents required by law. Specifically, with respect to commercial books, article 28 of the Colombian Commercial Code establishes that the Partners’ or Shareholders’ Registration Book and the Book of Minutes of the Meetings of Shareholders or Partners must be registered. In this regard, we answer some of the most frequently asked questions:
1.Which are the books that must be registered and what do they consist of?
The books that must be registered are two: (i) the Partners’ or Shareholders’ Registration Book and (ii) Book of Minutes of the Meetings of Shareholders or Partners. In these books, as the name implies, records must be kept of the shareholders or partners that own the company and the minutes of the meetings that these partners or shareholders hold to discuss and make decisions regarding company matters.
In accordance with article 56 of the Colombian Commercial Code, these books may be of removable sheets or formed by a continuous series of cards, as long as the sheets or cards are numbered and allow their filing in order. They may also be kept in electronic files where the inalterability, integrity, security and conservation of information must be guaranteed.
2. Where and by whom must this registration be done?
The application for registration must be submitted by the legal representative, or a third party who has a validly granted power-of-attorney to perform this registration, before the Chamber of Commerce in which the company is registered.
3. When and how can this registration be made?
The registration of these books can be requested at any time and must be filed at the offices of the Chamber of Commerce in which the company is registered. However, in case of electronic books, registration must be done annually and can be done virtually.
4. Where can these books be purchased?
As for the acquisition of the Partners’ or Shareholders’ Registration Book and the Book of Minutes of the Meetings of Shareholders or Partners, there are two options:
- They can be purchased in stationery stores where different options are offered, varying in the orientation of the sheets, the number of folios or pages available, among others.
- It is usual for the Chambers of Commerce to provide the service of selling printed and coded sheets, allowing merchants to acquire only the amount of sheets they consider necessary and facilitating the process of numbering and coding the sheets, since it will be taken care of by the organization. Thus, it would not be necessary to buy a complete book but simply the amount of sheets that are required, which must be kept in folders that allow their proper storage and custody.
5. How should books be submitted for registration?
Merchants must submit blank books, that is, without any information, except for the consecutive numbering of the sheets with the selected code, as explained in the following section, and the name of the book. Likewise, the covers of the books must be labeled with the name of the book and the name of the company.
With respect to electronic books, it is enough to submit the virtual application for registration, filling out the information requested by the corresponding Chamber of Commerce, which will be responsible for reviewing and deciding on the application.
6. What documents must be submitted during this process?
A written request executed by the legal representative must be submitted, specifying (i) the date of the application, (ii) the company name, (iii) the tax number of the company, (iv) the registration number, (v) the name or destination of the books (book of partners, shareholders, or minutes), (vi) the amount of useable sheets in each book, (vii) the consecutive numbering and (viii) the numbering range. In case the book has removable sheets, the code that will identify them must be indicated; this code must be between one (1) and six (6) characters and may be made up of letters and / or numbers. This code must be included in each of the sheets of the corresponding book. As an example, for the shareholders’ book, the code “SHA” may be chosen and for the book of minutes of meetings of shareholders or partners, the code “MIN”. In any case, any other code that complies with the aforementioned character limit and consists solely of letters and numbers may be chosen.
Nonetheless, it is usual for the Chambers of Commerce to have a pre-established form that will facilitate this task because it will only be necessary to fill in the blanks with the information required by the Chamber. This form must be executed by the legal representative. Additionally, in the event that the person who is going to file the application is not the legal representative, a limited power-of-attorney by which they are granted the authority to file said application must also be presented, along with a copy of their ID.
7. What should be done in case the book runs out of sheets or is lost?
In case the company already has a registered book but all the sheets have been used, a new book must be purchased and a new application for registration must be submitted. Thus, it is necessary to complete the registration application form again and submit, along with the new book, the previous completed book or a certificate issued by the statutory auditor or the public accountant of the company informing of the completion of the book or that it is about to be completed.
On the other hand, in case the book has been lost or destroyed, a new book must also be acquired and the registration application form must be completed again. Additionally, a copy of the complaint regarding the loss or destruction of the book, filed before the competent authorities, must be attached, which must include the company name, the book name and the Chamber of Commerce registration number of said book.
In case you have doubts about this or any other procedure before the Chamber of Commerce, do not hesitate to contact us.
