Worthy is the Lamb, and we praise the Lord because He counted us worthy to call and believe His name and to have part in what He did on Calvary, and I pray He will find us worthy for His kingdom at last in Jesus name.
THE INDISPENSABLE LAMB AND THE INESTIMABLE BOOK
1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
In between those two verses (verses 1 and 14), we see that there was a search in heaven. God was seated on the throne and John saw a book in His hand. There was a a cry on who is worthy to open the book and loosen the seals. In heaven and on earth, no one was worthy to do this. John the beloved knew the importance, indispensability and necessity of opening the book: so that the world could have a demonstration of the things written in it.
After a while, an elder came and told John that the search was over and Jesus, the Lion of the tribe of Judah was ready to open the book, break the seals and read it. All creatures in heaven were excited and began to praise and glorify God On the throne and the Lamb who has prevailed to open the book.
What were those things written in that book, when the contents are read, what will happen? What is the effect of opening the book for you as an individual, for John, the whole church and the whole earth in which we live? The book actually contains all the plans God has made to redeem the world. How do we know this?
After the Lamb opened the book, and opened the seals one after the other, when the last seal was opened, it was written that all the kingdoms of this world are become that of God and of His Christ (Revelation 11:15). Christ must reign over the whole earth and the universe, but before this, all the seals will be opened and everything written therein will be dramatized.
A. THE WOEFULNESS WITHOUT LOOSENING OR OPENING THE BOOK. Revelation 5:1-4
The book was perfectly sealed that no intruder could counterfeit, spoil, defile, deface, destroy the seals or open the book. John the beloved wept when there was no one to open and look into the book.
The Notable Wonder In Heaven: The Search For One To Open The Book
The book is unique because there is no other book like it which only God knows the content. No one in heaven or on earth could take and open it.
The book is a title deed and contains the plan to redeem and restore the earth to its original beauty and glory, and then hand it over to the Lord. The book could not be opened because it was sealed (Daniel 12:4) Daniel has seen what will happen at the end of age when a stone without hand will be thrown to destroy the kingdoms of the earth and the stone will become a mountain and occupy the whole earth. This means that the dominion of Christ will be forever, and never end. There will also be a fight at which time a sword will come out form the mouth of the Prince of princes and destroy all the armies of the antichrist (vs 9).
None Worthy In Heaven To Open The Book. Revelation 5:3
Because of the sealing of the book till the end, no one could know what was inside it. Now the saints are around and before the throne of God and at this time, and a call came out for someone to open the book and loosen the seals (Isaiah 29:11-12) As important as the book was, no one could read it, both learned and unlearned.
There was none worthy to open the book apart from Jesus Christ.
Noticeable Weeping Until The Opening Of The Book. Revelation 5:4
John was saved, sanctified, filled with the power of the Holy Ghost, He has seen the glorified Christ in chapter 1. He has seen the revelation of the church before and after the rapture, he was in the spirit and caught up into heaven, yet he wept much because there was no one to open the book. This tells us that with all the privileges, insights and experiences he had, he wept much.
There are some people who do not know that any book exists. When Joshua came to the edge of the promise land, there was a book for him to occupy, conquer and possess the promise land. That book must be followed. The book of the law must not depart from him but he must open, read, and meditate therein.
When Jesus came to this world, all that He needed to do to bring restoration to the earth were written in the book. Joshua had a book written concerning him. The apostles of the Lord were commissioned to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. They were to bring redemption, regeneration and the light of God into the heart of man. Paul went by the book because he could read.
In your own personal life, God has a book written about you in particular (Psalm 139:16-18) Some people do not know why they are in the world, they do not know what God has written concerning them. That is why you need to be saved and be directed by God. If you are saved, sanctified and baptized in the Holy Ghost, you should be weeping if you do not know what the plan of God is for your life, and why you are on earth.
Now, God has found the book of your life: what you are to do and accomplish. Do you remember Jesus and Paul saying that they have finished their courses? Concerning you, your life and the plan of God for your life, have you started working on it or are you roaming about, wasting your time and are you so blind that you seem to not know that you are here for a purpose? The saints of old could say, I have finished. I pray that God will help you so that you will know everything that God wants you to do and accomplish.
Acts 13:27. The Jews and their rulers in the synagogues read and read in the book of God every Sabbath day, yet, they could not understand. They did not know that the Saviour has come and the door of the kingdom has been opened to whosoever will come in. They could not understand because they did not yield themselves to the Spirit of God.
Are you also like those who come to church every service day and yet, you do not know the Lord? (vs 46) When the Jews rejected salvation and everlasting life, the apostles turned to the Gentiles so that they will not waste their time and lives.
You need to weep like John if you come to church and hear over and over the word of God and you are not saved. If you come to church and you keep living the same way every day, month and year, only amassing the things of this world, you ought to stop and weep, and ask God what was written in the book concerning you and why you are here. May God’s grace be sufficient for you so that after this world, you will be able to have a good testimony that you finished well.
Imagine you already getting old and you have not even started the first sentence of the book of your life. When you get to eternity and discovered that you did not do all that you could have done, what will you tell God? May God deliver you from such wanton wastage in Jesus name.
B. THE WORTHINESS OF THE LAMB TO OPEN THE BOOK. Revelation 5:5
This book of books, this greatest book in the universe, only the Lamb was qualified to open the book. Now we have the Bible which shows us the grace of God and how to have transforming experiences with Him. This book that can transport us to heaven. Jesus opened the eyes of the two disciples He met on their way to Emmaus so they could understand perfectly all that were written in the book concerning Him.
He also revealed Himself to the disciples where they locked themselves in, rebuked and opened their understanding on all that were written.
Saul of Tarsus going here and there, persecuting believers was met by the Lord on the way to Damascus. He became physically blind as an evidence that he has been spiritually blind all along. He prayed for three days and Ananias visited and prayed for him and his eyes were open. Then the book was opened for him and he could take it everywhere with him. Only Christ can open the book of your life and show you why you are here. You need to pray to Him to help you out so you don’t spend your life in darkness.
The seven horns of the Lamb depict perfect power and the seven eyes perfect knowledge and insight as well as the seven spirits of God sent over the whole earth.
The Wonder Of The Lion In His Reign
One of the elders came to tell John to stop weeping because the Lion, the King, the highest and the mightiest, the most powerful has prevailed to open the book. The Lion of the tribe of Judah, Jesus Christ is the King of the whole universe (Revelation 19:16) All power in heaven and on earth is given to Him. He prevails just as the Lion prevails over other animals.
The antichrist is shown as the beast, Satan as a dragon while the false prophet of the antichrist is shown as the second beast. Jesus as the Lion will defeat them all. He has prevailed and given us victory in our lives over every power of Satan and the antichrist. Whenever they want to devour you, just look up to Jesus and cry to Him, He will come between you and the roaring lion, tear it to pieces and give you total victory.
The Worthiness Of The Lamb For Redemption
Jesus died and gave His life for the world after which He went to heaven. The sacrifice on Calvary many years ago is still as fresh as ever, His blood is still as fresh as ever. As He saved the thief on the cross instantaneously, so He will save you and wipe away your sins if you come to Him.
The Lamb is still as gentle, loving, gracious and as meritorious as He was.
vs 8-12. Jesus was already slain and had redeemed mankind. Numerous and uncountable saints who have become saved from the first person in the first generation to the last person to get saved in the last generation, including us gathered to praise and glorify the Lamb.
Our Wakefulness To The Life Of Rejoicing
If He has saved you, and you are not walking in darkness with dimness of sight, and you can see what is written concerning you in the book of God, and the power of God is moving you on, you have to glorify and sing praises to God (Luke 10:20-) Do not rejoice even if the sun and the moon stand at your command like Joshua, or you have the power to do everything you can, but rejoice when your name is written in the book of life. There is nothing you have that is enough to equate your place in heaven. Rejoice because the worthy One has taken your sins away and turned your life around for good.
Wake up and examine the experiences you have. Check up your salvation, sanctification and your place in heaven. You may not have buildings, wealth, certificates, control over a number of people, etc. but if you are saved and you know that you are part of the brides of Christ, you have every reason to rejoice (Revelation 19:7-8).
C. THE WORSHIP OF THE LORD AFTER OBTAINING THE BOOK. Revelation 5:11-14
All beings on earth are divided into three:
Animals which have beginning and end. They are not to be worshipped.
Humans who have beginning and no end. Their beginning was when they were born but their lives will not end as they will continue living either in hell or in heaven. They are not to be worshipped.
Those who do not have beginning or ending. From eternity to eternity, God is God, Christ is Christ, and same is the Holy Ghost, the blessed Trinity. These are the Ones to worship. All those who worship other beings will end up worshipping the antichrist. Even when John was so excited because of the revelations he just received and fell down to worship the angel, the angel did not allow him but told him to worship only God. The angel does not have an end but he has a beginning.
1 The Angelic Worship Of The Glorious Lord. Revelation 5:11
The Ascending Worship Of The Gracious Lamb. Revelation 5:13
The praises started from the four beasts, to the twenty four elders, then the angels and finally the redeemed in their thousands and thousands. They all worshipped and praised the Lamb for ever and ever.
The Acceptable Worship From Godly Lives.
Some people are inside the circle drawn by the Lamb. Some are outside the circle so they do not have access to the washing and cleansing of the Lamb. Some are at the edge of the circle just looking in, seeing the joy and hope of the believers, yet, they are not doing anything to get in to rejoice and worship with them. But when someone walks up to him and encourages him, he walks in and gives his life over to the Lord and begins a new life.
The time will come when the trumpet will sound and the Lord will say it is time and will gather His own from every part of the world and the spirit of God will catch them up. The only thing we will doing for the rest of our lives is to worship and praise. All sorrows, persecution, affliction, problems and disturbances of the world gone, all darkness gone and we will be in the light for ever. Over there, we will look at the face of our Saviour and praise Him forever for amazing grace.
If you cannot praise God now, praising Him in eternity will be strange to you. If you are not in the circle now, when we are all gone at the rapture, you will remain here. You will see us afar off in heaven just as the rich man saw Lazarus being comforted by Father Abraham in heaven. You can see us and will not be able to cross over.
I will be inside the circle saved, sanctified, and victorious. When the Lord shall come, I shall see Him and His praises will be in my mouth forever.
Pray that you will be in the circle and nothing will drive you out.
Pray that you will be qualified for heaven.
Pray that our Pastor will remain in the circle of Christ till the end. He will finish well and strong.
Amen and Amen

Stories of Spokane Valley
The “Lake Men” were very early pioneers in the Spokane valley. Three of them, Courchaine, Liberty, and Newman, settled at Saltese, Liberty and Newman Lake. Morrison, who arrived in the Valley about 20 years later, was equally influential. His property is still being developed today.
Trent, Trentwood, Steno, Irvin – all are names that have been used to describe a section of the north central Valley. By 1882, the Northern Pacific Railroad had completed tracks through the Spokane Valley, The origin of the name Trent is unclear…
In the early 1800s the first white men came into the Spokane Valley. These were mainly fur trappers and military personnel. The options for crossing the Spokane River were few. At this time these men crossed at a few different fords used by the Indians, places shallow enough to ride their horses across when the river was low.
Before the influx of the early pioneer Europeans, the Spokane Valley was the ancestral homeland of the Coeur d’Alene and Spokane Tribes. Chief Saltese lived at the lake that bore his name, Saltese Lake. Quin-mo-see lived at what became Spokane Bridge. Tecumseh and Wildshoe lived around the shores and hills of Liberty Lake.
In 1888, a group of citizens met and decided to go ahead with building a new school. Amos Lewis, one of the three newly appointed school directors, donated an acre of land. The school district was organized as School District 71. The new two-room Plouf Gulch School, which opened on Oct. 1, 1888, was paid for by donations.
In the early to late 1800s, the Spokane Valley floor was covered with bunch grass which provided well for Indian horses. The Spokane and Coeur d’Alene Indians caught salmon from the river, used large rocks for drying fruit and built sweat lodges where the paper mill now stands. There also was a race track where the tribes had horse races, probably where the Millwood School is located.
Trent, Trentwood, Steno, Irvin – all are names that have been used to describe a section of the north central Valley. By 1883, the Northern Pacific Railroad had completed tracks through the Spokane Valley. The origin of the name Trent is unclear. Trent has been called by many other names, but it generally referred to the area east of Argonne Road, west to Barker Road, south to the river and north to the rock bluffs. It may have gotten its name from the station master, but no records indicate the correct answer.
Otis Orchards originally was a railroad stop called Otis. The story is that the person who manned the stop was named Otis. Other stories indicate Otis was an early settler. Still another story recounts that Otis was an early Northern Pacific engineer.


In his new translation of the Bhagavata Purana, renowned Indian economist, author and scholar Dr. Bibek Debroy references Srila Prabhupada’s commentaries on the Srimad-Bhagavatam and thanks an ISKCON devotee for gifting Prabhupada’s Bhagavatam to him.
Debroy is the Chairman of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Economic Advisory Council, and is one of India’s most famous Indologists. He previously translated the Bhagavad-gita, Ramayana, and Harivamsa Purana to wide acclaim, and is one of only three people to ever translate the entire Mahabharat into English.
His three-volume English translation of the Bhagavata Purana was released on January 21st, published by Penguin India, one of India’s largest and most respected publishing houses.
The books are aimed at the general public, specifically a younger and more modern Indian population who are looking for spirituality and culture in a relatable fashion. They contain no Sanskrit verses or purports – only translations of the Bhagavatam verses.
At the beginning of the series, Dr. Debroy points out that he is not interpreting the Srimad-Bhagavatam, just translating it. In the process, he says, he has referred to several commentaries including those of Sridhara Svami, Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, and the Bhagavata Purana Research Project at the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies – which is the work of ISKCON devotees Krishna Ksetra Swami and Radhika Ramana Das.
In Debroy’s Bhagavata Purana, points are sometimes clarified with footnotes referring to Srila Prabhupada’s Srimad-Bhagavatam.
In his preface, Dr. Debroy also recounts how he wanted to translate the Puranas but was not sure which one to start with. When a friend of his, ISKCON India’s Director of Communications Yudhistir Govinda Das, gifted him a full set of Srila Prabhupada’s Srimad-Bhagavatam, he took this as an indication from destiny that he should begin with the Bhagavata Purana.
“On my request and invitation Dr. Debroy and his wife then visited Mayapur for the Gaura Purnima festival and appeared to be really impressed and moved by ISKCON and its devotees, who built such a wonderful community with a Gurukula, Goshala, temple, vegetarian cuisine, and more,” says Yudhistir Govinda.
As a result of these interactions, Dr. Debroy dedicated his translation of the Bhagavata Purana, “For Yudhistir Govinda Das.”
“He further remarks that this dedication, as I would well know, is merely a token,” says Yudhistir. “Because dedication is meant for Him who is beyond either of us (indicating that the dedication is actually meant for God).”
While Dr. Debroy says that his Bhagavata Purana is not intended for scholars, nor for those following any Vedic parampara such as Gaudiya Vaishnavas or Sri Sampradaya (as they have their own commentaries), it is sure to be widely read by the general public.
Yudhistir Govinda comments that Dr. Debroy has put a lot of time and effort into breaking down the complex Vedic branches of Vedas, Upanisads, Puranas and Itihasa so that the common reader is able to understand the context.

In this post series, I'm describing the big data visualization platform I'm currently developing with WebGL. I'll detail in this second post the VisPy library which is the basis of the project.
- Part 1: Overview
- Part 2: VisPy
Birth of the project
I started to be interested in high-performance data visualization technologies three years ago. I was left unsatisfied by existing visualization libraries in Python like matplotlib. Although rich and powerful, matplotlib is slow when it comes to interactive visualization, particularly with datasets containing more than a few thousands of points. Yet, I was often dealing with digital time-dependent signals containing millions of points or more. It struck me to find out that no existing library would let me pan and zoom in a plot containing a long signal. More generally, there was no way to visualize interactively a large dataset.
Being familiar with graphics processing units (GPUs) for general-purpose computing, I started to investigate the possibility to leverage the hardware acceleration offered by these devices for interactive data visualization. I ended up releasing an experimental visualization toolkit named Galry for this purpose. With Galry, I was able to interactively explore plots containing tens to hundreds of millions of points. I've already detailed this work in previous posts (here, here, here, and here).
In late 2012, other developers of similar libraries and I decided to join forces to create a brand new visualization library that would scale to very big datasets. The VisPy library was born.
What is VisPy?
VisPy is a scientific visualization library in Python that focuses on scalability and performance. It is based on OpenGL, an open industry-standard visualization library that can leverage the hardware acceleration of graphics processing units.
VisPy focuses on modern OpenGL. Whereas legacy OpenGL uses a fixed function pipeline with a limited predefined list of rendering features, modern OpenGL lets users customize all aspects of the rendering pipeline. This is done through through small programs named shaders. These programs are written in a low-level C-like language called GLSL. Shaders run on the GPU and benefit from the massively parallel architecture of GPUs.
A major challenge of the project is to offer visualization facilities that are simultaneously user-friendly, flexible, and efficient. The high flexibility of OpenGL should be reflected by the user API. Yet, these constraints tend to be mutually exclusive. An easy-to-use library tends to offer less possibilities than a complex one. This is particularly problematic in a visualization library, where users needs can be highly diverse.
To overcome these issues, VisPy provides several interfaces and abstraction levels that vary in terms of accessibility and flexibility. These interfaces are presented here in decreasing order of user-friendliness, and increasing order of flexibility.
The plot interface will offer a high-level plotting API similar to the interfaces provided by other visualization toolkits like matplotlib, bokeh, ggplot, and others. This interface will be available in the long term; in the meantime, VisPy will offer a fast backend to these popular high-level interfaces.
The scene interface lets users position graphical objects (also known as visuals) in 2D or 3D within a scene graph. Various cameras implementing specific interaction patterns are provided.
Visuals are types of graphical objects like points, lines, polygons, meshes, graphs, images, volumes, among others. Advanced users can customize existing visuals or create brand new visuals.
Gloo offers a Pythonic, object-oriented interface to OpenGL. The OpenGL API is known for its verbosity and complexity. Yet, the main concepts are relatively simple. Gloo lets users easily create GLSL shaders, bind GLSL variables to Python variables and NumPy arrays, and render OpenGL programs.
Although quite young and relatively experimental at this point, VisPy is slowly starting to mature and to get a user base. At this point, gloo is quite stable, whereas the visuals and scene interfaces are still experimental and rough around the edges. We expect to make good progress on these interfaces in early 2015.
Although VisPy is primarily meant to execute on a desktop running Python, we are also working on a WebGL backend. There are two use-cases for this backend:
- Showing interactive VisPy visualizations in the IPython/Jupyter notebook.
- Exporting interactive visualizations to a standalone HTML document.
Going forward, we would love to let users export interactive applications written with Python and VisPy into standalone web/mobile applications.
In the next post, I'll describe one of the key components of VisPy's distributed architecture.

Vol. 1 of the World Scientific Series on Machine Consciousness
The Discovery of our Informational Mind
by Igor Aleksander (Imperial College London, UK) & Helen Morton (Imperial College London, UK)
Aristotle’s convincing philosophy is likely to have shaped (even indirectly) many of our current beliefs, prejudices and attitudes to life. This includes the way in which our mind (that is, our capacity to have private thoughts) appears to elude a scientific description. This book is about a scientific ingredient that was not available to Aristotle: the science of information. Would the course of the philosophy of the mind have been different had Aristotle pronounced that the matter of mind was information? This “mind is information” assertion is often heard in contemporary debates, and this book explores the verities and falsehoods of this proposition.
Information: The New Kid on the Block
Little Boxes that Reason and Learn
Networks with Internal States
Information Integration: The Measure of Consciousness
Automata and Information Integration
The Philosophy of Information
The Structure of the Informational Mind

Conclusion: Aristotle’s Laptop
Readership: Philosophers, scientists and those interested in consciousness and machine consciousness; readers of multidisciplinary books on machine analyses of consciousness.


Language Ideologies as Urban Infrastructure: A Socio-Spatial Analysis of Identity, Belonging, and Multilingualism in Pune, Maharashtra
Dr. Jessica Sujata Chandras
Friday, September 17
By examining the contemporary multiscriptual and multilingual landscape of the city of Pune, Maharashtra, this paper addresses the theme of “Circulation” for the International Conference on Maharashtra, by exploring the ways language ideologies circulate about Marathi, English, Urdu, and Hindi to illuminate a linguistic infrastructure of the city. I argue that language ideologies, as beliefs about languages and their speakers that motivate behavior, provide a way for Pune residents to organize socio-spatial knowledge of the city and navigate belonging (Schieffelin et al, 1998). Through qualitative ethnographic research from 2016 to 2018, this linguistic anthropological study extends a discussion of the power of both written and spoken language to socially construct understandings of identity and belonging (Jaffe & De Koning 2015, Lynch 1960). Data includes seven mental maps drawn by interlocutors to show their understanding of the city’s socio-spatial linguistic boundaries and images of signage in three distinct Pune neighborhoods to analyze contemporary urban Indian multilingual and multiscriptual space as a cultural category (Duranti & Goodwin 1992, Feld & Basso 1996). Findings indicate that the use and broadly circulating knowledge of different languages and scripts in the city coincide with many socio-political identifying features and social stratification through caste categories, socioeconomic statuses, and religious/ethnic backgrounds. Understanding a city’s infrastructure and spatial organization through language guides Pune residents’ experiences of the city and their roles within it.

‘Lit Long: Edinburgh’ is a database of literature set in Edinburgh and the complementary suite of visualisation tools that emerged from The Palimpsest: Literary Edinburgh project. The project was funded by the AHRC’s Digital Transformations in the Arts and Humanities – Big Data scheme, and was a collaborative effort between literature and informatics scholars at the University of Edinburgh, researchers in Human-Computer interaction at the University of St Andrews, and the team at EDINA. The ‘Lit Long: Edinburgh’ site and tools launched in 2015, and includes an interactive map through which to explore literary imaginings of various locations around the city, dedicated maps highlighting Edinburgh in the works of Sir Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson, a mobile application to guide users through the city’s literature in situ, and a database search interface.
Edinburgh has a well known literary history, which is visible to us every day through books, maps, monuments, walking tours, and the many sites that commemorate the lives of the city’s famous authors. Our research team wanted to expand our understanding of this history by digging into the literature itself, exploring how representations of the city have helped shape our imaginative view of Edinburgh, and how both well known and lesser known authors have themselves imagined Edinburgh over time.
Using machine-reading tools developed by our informatics team, we searched tens of thousands of books contained in the world’s largest digital databases of literature in English for mentions of Edinburgh and Edinburgh place names. Drawing on the results, we created a database of about 550 books published across three centuries that use Edinburgh as a setting. We have also included one original piece of short fiction – the winner of a writing competition we held, asking local authors to engage with Edinburgh’s literary history and re-imagine the city. Within the books in our database, there are over 47,000 mentions of Edinburgh locations, all of which we have placed on an interactive map of the city.
During the Cultural Engagement phase of the project (2016), we have undertaken a number of activities to encourage further public engagement with ‘Lit Long: Edinburgh’, including a Writers’ Workshop, a writing competition, several schools workshops, and an art competition. We have also been researching potential for further development of our desktop and mobile applications, and have been working together with the Edinburgh UNESCO City of Literature Trust and a team of PhD students in Information Visualisation to explore potential for installing the Lit Long maps and tools at key locations throughout the city.

I picked up a book for teens by an author I had read before. It sounded interesting – its main plot line is the experiences of a girl with mental illness – so I thought I would give it a try. It was an enjoyable read, very accessible too. A quick synopsis from the book’s back cover:
Life is very grave for Anise. Hospitalized for anorexia, she wonders about the point of it all. Her frigid mother and ineffectual father seem oblivious to her struggle. Her beloved brother is too busy screwing up his own life to take note of hers. Living on the loony ward seems not to be making any difference at all, and Anise feels like a prisoner. Her only free choice is to turn to her journal – the place where she can make scathing observations about her family, other people, the world; the place where she can dream, and where she can decide whether to live or die.
Like I said, it was an easy and enjoyable read. I think Gail Sidonie Sobat, the author of this book, has a way of making any topic interesting. She talks about very important issues in this book. Not only about anorexia but also suicide, cutting, hospitalization, and the treatment options for of mental illness. It was surprising to see such bold discussion of these topics – I know that I expect only allusions to suicide or cutting, but in the book there is outright discussion. I give credit to the publishers, Great Plains Publications, for printing the book so raw. I think this fact cannot be over emphasized as I think it is very important for youth to have resources for thinking about these issues.
These facts aside, the book was a bit disappointing. I think there was so much potential for greatness that was not realized. The characters were simplified and predictable. I think Anise’s life was oversimplified as well. While I don’t want to dismiss the experiences of those similar to Anise’s I really thought the book portrayed a very simple and, honestly, easy experience with anorexia. Mental illness, especially illness requiring hospitalization, is devastating. Women, girls and men who are hospitalized and force fed are often at the edge of death. All aspects of your life are affected and relationships are often ruined. I wanted to see a book that really recognizes the depth of suffering people with mental illness endure.
Sobat secured a hopeful ending which is a positive thing… but is it realistic? The reoccurrence of anorexia is something like 90% but Sobat left the reader thinking that as long as Anise works hard, she will be successful. Maybe that is true, or maybe mental illness can be so strong that it can rip through people like nobodys business. I kept wondering if this was because the author was writing from an outsider perspective. Perhaps she has experienced hospitalizing anorexia or had only known someone who had (or perhaps neither). Her bio mentions that she is a teacher at the Alberta Hospital (a mental institution) so perhaps the book is a reflection of her experience there. I recognize that the publishers probably wanted a happy ending for such a heavy topic. Also, I think it is good to give a message of hope to the teens who read the book (or twenty-somethings like me). I do think there is a way to be hopeful while also recognizing the long, and often grueling, times ahead. I have recently read a book that was successful at doing this which I will be reviewing in the future, so more on this later.
So, in summary, the book was interesting and I was thankful for it but didnt quite meet the heights it could have reached. Check it out!


Over the centuries it has come down to us in so many forms. A mound standing vigil over buried cities. A palette of memories on a piece of paper. The etching of time on a thousand year old rock. A word in print. An image captured. A syllable spoken. A thought recorded. Information. About the world we have inherited. Our ancestors. Us. You. And I. About our past, present and future.
Every second it is being recorded, knowingly and unknowingly by both man and nature. Every moment it is being unearthed, unravelled and being interpreted. That’s life. A constant interplay of the creation and availability of information and our response to it as individuals and as social beings... New Concept Information Systems’ 2005 Calendar takes a full circle of sorts by using its pages to present some interesting ‘information’ on the important ways in which a vast body of India-related information itself has been documented, discovered or deciphered over the ages and some of the milestones associated with it.


Lessons in Forced Democracy
By Shankar Vedantam
September 17, 2007
"Democracy always has skeptics," Bush said. "Some say the culture of the Middle East will not sustain the institutions of democracy. The same doubts were proved wrong nearly six decades ago, when the Republic of the Philippines became the first democratic nation in Asia."
Since 2003, Bush has rarely mentioned the Philippines. But as the nation debates Gen. David H. Petraeus's recent report on the state of the Iraq war, a new study by political scientists Andrew Enterline and J. Michael Greig shows that the president ought to revisit his analogy.
Bush got some of his historical facts wrong, but his analogy turns out to be unintentionally accurate -- the Philippines is an excellent example of the risks, stakes and odds of imposing democracy on another country. By contrast, the oft-cited success stories of Japan and Germany turn out to be outliers.Enterline and Greig's as yet unpublished study is a detailed examination of 41 cases over about 200 years where one nation has tried to impose democracy on another. As Washington debates the success of the recent U.S. "surge" in Iraq, the study offers a sobering glimpse of the big picture -- not the odds that the Iraqi insurgency will go up or down, but the odds that a stable democracy will emerge in the country.

The catalogue of the 2013 festival is available by mail order
High Altitude, published by 5 Continents, Milan.
Edited by Nathalie Herschdorfer, Director of the 2013 festival. With an essay by Joël Vacheron (London), and texts by Nathalie Dietschy (University of Lausanne).
“High Altitude” was both the name and the theme of the 3rd Alt. +1000 photography festival. It brought together emerging and established photographers around a rich and varied subject. While we may be used to views from the skies, we remain fascinated by landscapes seen from above.
The book features the work of Georg Gerster, Nicolas Crispini, Dan Holdsworth, Esther Mathis, Simon Norfolk, Penelope Umbrico, of the Chung-Ang University (Seoul), and of the five winners of the competition: Valentina Suter, Wang Lin, Maanantai Collective, Pablo Lopez Luz and Cyril Porchet.

Exhibition catalogue 2011
This book was conceived as a companion to the festival. It features works of contemporary imagemakers who approach the mountain in its various and multiple states: spectacular, sublime, domesticated, constructed (even artificial!), out-of-touch and frightening. Artists who live in Switzerland, Germany, United States, the Netherlands and England, many living far from a mountainous environment, celebrate and challenge deeply-rooted myths, and each in his own way tries to interpret this elusive landscape. Unspoiled nature versus the man-altered mountain – a dichotomy that has sparked the imaginations of generations of mountain lovers – is thus interpreted by talented artists, whose visions are far removed from those of tourist postcards.

Mills Piland (1795-1869)
Republic of Texas ancestor of M. Gerald (Jerry) Spencer
The ancestor who qualified Marion G. “Jerry” Spencer for membership in the Sons of the Republic of Texas, Ephraim Daggett chapter 36 Fort Worth Texas is Mills Piland. His father was James Piland, Jr. of North Carolina.
Mills Piland, born c.1795 in Perquimans County North Carolina married Peninah Harrell 26 March 1819 in Gates County North Carolina. They were the parents of five sons and two daughters prior to moving to that part of Red River County, which became Lamar County in 1840, where Mills acquired land grant # 205 for 640 acres granted by the Board of Land Commissioners of Red River County, dated 5 December 1839.
Children of Mills and Peninah Piland are Jesse b. 1823 NC, Elijah b. 1824 NC, Elisha b. 1830 NC, Reuben b. 1831 NC, George W. b. 1835 NC, Mary F. b. 1836 TN, Peninah b. 1836 TN. There were other children who must have died as infants and not recorded except as numbers on census records.
Mills is listed on the 1830 census of Gates County North Carolina, page 102, with a wife, 3 sons and two daughters. He is listed on “1840 citizens of Texas” Vol. 1, land grants by Gifford White. Pg. 200. Mills and family are listed on the 1850 and 1860 census for Lamar County and he died there in April of 1869. His land grant and site of his home was located Southwest of Paris near the town of Petty Texas today. Descendants of the family reside in that area today (2007)
Mills’ youngest daughter, Peninah Piland Fulfer Baker was living in her father’s home at the time of the 1860 census, along with her son by her first marriage to Jacob Fulfer. Peninah married Sam Houston Baker 12 September 1860, these are my great grandparents. Sam Houston and Peninah baker had four children, one being my grandfather, James Carroll Baker who was born in 1866 and married Emily Eldora Wallis in 1888 in Bowie, Montague Co., Texas.
James and Emily Baker are the parents of my mother, Laura Baker who married Joseph H. Spencer in 1920 in Ft. Worth, Texas. James C. and Emily Eldora Baker, along with several other members of my family, are buried in the Elmwood Cemetery in Bowie, Montague County Texas. I was born in 1933 in the northern part of Tarrant County where Eagle Mountain Lake is now located. I have remained in Tarrant County having graduated from Fort Worth Technical High School prior to receiving a Bachelor’s degree in Architectural Construction from Texas A&M in 1956. I am currently retired after working as a structural engineer in the Fort Worth-Dallas area for more than thirty-five years.
My wife and I have become addicted to the hobby of Genealogy and spend most of our time researching various lines of family history. My wife’s maiden name is Studebaker and that family history has been thoroughly documented. She has produced two family history books, one on her Earp family and another on her Benton family. Her mother’s maiden name is Earp and they speculated that there might be a relationship to Wyatt Earp. My wife decided to learn whether that was true and spent about ten years researching that family before producing a 650 page book titled “My Earp Family in America”. She begins that book with the fact that Thomas Earp came to this country aboard the ship named “Constant Friendship” in 1674 and landed in Baltimore, Maryland. She does prove the relationship to Wyatt Earp as her fifth cousin thrice removed. Because I was helping with her research, she felt that I should begin work on my own family history and I have since learned that some members of my Spencer family came to Texas as early as 1837. They settled first in Harrison County and migrated to several Counties in Texas and New Mexico, Arizona and California.
A distant cousin of mine, Lavinia Spencer, was the second wife of Creed Taylor and her first cousin, William A. Spencer, was the husband of Creed Taylor’s daughter, Caroline. Lavinia was a first cousin and mother-in-law to William. This Taylor family is known for their involvement in the “Sutton-Taylor Feud” that occurred in South central Texas after the end of the Civil War and continued for many years resulting in the deaths of many people. The “Feud” was not only a fight between two factions but also resulted from the governmental enforcement by Union Soldiers during “reconstruction” over men who had just served in the confederate military. Some of the Union Troops were black and that added to the resentment by these native sons of Texas.
I have also been working to learn the origin of William Spencer who died in Augusta Georgia in 1806. One of his daughters was Harriett Spencer who married Patrick Jack in Augusta. Patrick Jack’s father was James Jack, who delivered the Mecklenburg Papers (North Carolina’s Declaration of Independence from England) by horseback to Philadelphia from Charlotte North Carolina in May of 1775. James Jack presented that document to the North Carolina delegates to the Continental Congress and asked that they be presented to the Congress for adoption. It was decided to postpone that action hoping for the King to relent on mistreatment of the Colonies. It was, of course, a year later that the Declaration of independence of the United States from England was adopted.
Patrick Jack attained the rank of Colonel during the War of 1812 and refused higher rank, preferring to stay close to his men. Patrick and Harriett had twelve children, three of them sons who were educated as attorneys in Georgia and Alabama prior to their migration to Texas in 1831. Those three sons were William Houston, Patrick Churchill and Spencer Houston Jack. Patrick became a law partner of William Barrett Travis in Anahuac and they were involved in the disturbances resulting from their arrest by Col. John Davis Bradburn. His brother, William Jack, gathered men to confront Bradburn and demand the release of Patrick Jack and William Travis. William was one of the originators of the Turtle Bayou Resolutions resulting from that episode. Spencer Houston Jack and Peter Grayson were ordered to go to Mexico City to obtain the release of Stephen Austin from prison and Spencer fired one of the first shots to begin hostilities with Mexico when ships were being blockaded at the mouth of the Brazos River.
Patrick was a district judge in Brazoria County, William served as the first secretary of state under President Burnet and all three of these men served in various roles during the battles for independence of the Republic of Texas from Mexico. Patrick and William died within a month of each other in 1844 from yellow fever and the remains of all three men have been re-interred in the Texas State Cemetery in Austin Texas. For their service to the Republic of Texas, Jack County was named in their honor.

The recent NCCE conference was full of experienced computer professionals. Much like a college library, it was full of students bustling about sharing their favorite texts, discussing their recent readings, and people searching for answers to difficult questions. Access to the riches of a library is generally reserved for those who are able to read. Much the same could be said about the riches of the internet and digital literacy. George Couros’ Keynote address focused on the very concept of digital literacy and how to spread it throughout a school community.
The keynote address brought together a number of ideas that I had been working through in my own mind with a very clear and succinct thesis. Digital literacy much like reading literacy, must be taught in a literate culture. Just as we expect teachers to model effective literacy techniques to budding readers, we must expect teachers to display effective digital literacy techniques to students if we expect them to grow up as digitally literate individuals. This poses a significant challenge as a number of students already seem ahead of their teachers as soon as a technological device is placed on the table.
The focus of this struggle is that students already exist in many domains that many teachers have not yet ventured into. Communications such as texting, facebook, and twitter are a mainstay of student interaction that vast numbers of educational staff avoid. The cause of their aversion is that they are not fully digitally literate. Digital literacy in today’s world is far more than being able to operate a computer and perform its basic functions. Digital literacy must include not only how to read and write, but also how find the book and where to place the writing.
One aspect of literacy that is not taught very frequently is the aspect of publishing your work. Publishing feels like some distant process that only writers do and it is long and difficult. Most commonly, students feel that their work isn’t good enough to be published. However, the digital realm is heavily predicated on people publishing their work. Work in this case can range from something as simple as a 144 character tweet, to a paragraph facebook post, to a blog post, to an entire ebook or website. While our conventional systems for teaching reading and writing are sufficient, only sharing student work with their teacher is a digitally illiterate act.
What the keynote address made me realize is that the online portfolio concept that my school is using only addresses a small part of the need of students to become digitally literate. In the current model students in their junior and senior year gather and produce a website that represents some of their best work. They then give commentary on the work they’ve done. While this is fantastic that students are sharing their work with the world, starting at 11th grade is far too late. Student websites should be started in elementary school where students can share and store the totality of their school work. They should be constantly building and refining the website as a method of sharing their work with the world. Only through constant interaction with the internet can we hope for students to learn to be truly digitally literate. In order for this to happen, teachers should be doing the same with their work.


The Sacred Storyteller Oracle is an upcoming, indie oracle deck containing 88 cards.
From the “information card” included with the deck:
The Sacred Storyteller Oracle was created based on imagery commonly found in folktales, traditional stories, and local lore from around the world.
I’ve always been fascinated by stories and by the bright, creative people who tell them. From storytellers to songwriters, novelists to activists, memoir authors to comic authors, I believe that the people who tell our stories (even fiction) shape our history…past, present, and future alike.
In creating this eighty-eight-card oracle, I wanted not only to portray familiar imagery from existing folk tales and songs, but also to provide new ideas and archetypes for new voices to use in telling their own stories.
I hope that no matter who you are or what your story is, you’re able to find some of it in this deck. May its illustrations bring illumination to your life’s manuscript.– Taylor Johnson
From The Wishing Well to The Great Soul, these 88 cards are a complete system that can be used on its own or in conjunction with other oracle cards or Tarot; can be used for daily draws or huge spreads; and can, with a little practice, reveal past, present, and future with deep insight and spiritual guidance for the greatest good of all.


Islamic astronomy comprises the astronomical developments made in the Islamic world, particularly during the Islamic Golden Age (9th–13th centuries),and mostly written in the Arabic language. These developments mostly took place in the Middle East, Central Asia, Al-Andalus, and North Africa, and later in the Far East and India.
A significant number of stars in the sky, such as Aldebaran, Altair and Deneb, and astronomical terms such as alidade, azimuth, and nadir, are still referred to by their Arabic names. A large corpus of literature from Islamic astronomy remains today, numbering approximately 10,000 manuscripts scattered throughout the world, many of which have not been read or catalogued. Even so, a reasonably accurate picture of Islamic activity in the field of astronomy can be reconstructed.
This is an original replica of a 9th century Arabic astrolabe, a unique keychain for Astronomy lovers.

Elegy is a form of literature that can be defined as a poem or song in the form of elegiac couplets, written in honor of someone deceased. It typically laments or mourns the death of the individual. Elegy is derived from the Greek work elegus, which means a song of bereavement sung along with a flute. The forms of elegy we see today were.
Elegy for Jane The Far Field. Elegy for Jane (My student, thrown by a horse) I remember the neckcurls, limp and damp as tendrils; And her quick look, a sidelong pickerel smile; And how, once startled into talk, the light syllables leaped for her, And she balanced in the delight of her thought, A wren, happy, tail into the wind, Her song trembling the twigs and small branches. The shade sang.
In any case, reading them will help deepen your appreciation for elegy poems. From Loss to Comfort. An elegy poem starts off mournfully, but it should then move on to praise of the dead and finish with comfort or solace for those left behind. This is the standard format of an elegy poem, though some may differ.
Whereas an elegy is a poem or even a song, a eulogy is written as an essay or a short piece of prose. In other words, one is written in stanzas, while the other is written in paragraphs.
Essay writing not only assesses knowledge of the topic, but also develops application and critical thinking. This would be good to give students to teach them how to format papers.

On my First Son by Ben Jonson is a poem about a father who has lost a young son, and he is attempting to distance himself from the tragedy in numerous ways.One way is to treat the scenario as an almost mechanical prospect, devoid of all emotions from which he can shake free. Another is to try and approach the loss with the concept that the child is in a better situation now that he has passed.

Mephisto and the Extremophile, 2020
11 minutes, VR experience
Life is stranger than it seems. Mephisto and the Extremophile is a VR journey to the edge of scientific knowledge, inviting people to experience the contested origins of life deep inside the Earth. The story shifts between human, bacterial, geological and machinic perspectives to unravel scientific mysteries about extremophiles, creatures that thrive without any sunlight in extreme temperatures and pressures. These organisms look nothing like what scientists thought life might look like, but they could hold the key to re-situating human life in the universe and changing how we relate to the natural world.
At 5:25 AM, on a dry and cloudless November morning, you find yourself at the Beatrix Goldmine in the Free State Province of South Africa.
You are transformed into Gaetan Borgonie, a scientist searching for unknown life. Gaetan discovered the microscopic nematode Halicephalobus Mephisto four kilometers inside the Earth in a South African gold mine.
A voice in your head takes you through the mine and into the rock, offering insight into, and posing questions about, the mysteries of planet Earth. Claustrophobic and inhuman environments give you a feeling of the strange alien world H. Mephisto inhabits.
The story ends with a mine blast and you are extracted back to the surface. In light of the violence a subsection of humans commit against the Earth, you are asked to reflect back on the idea of the extremophile as the lover of extremes.

The novel Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus was a major source of inspiration in the design of the Humaneus Center, a new generation theme park that Three Golden Doors presents.
THE FRANKENSTEIN PARADOX
In Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus written in 1815 by Mary SHELLEY (1797-1851), science goes beyond ethical limits; driven by vanity, research becomes dangerous: Victor Frankenstein, wishing to create a being in the service of humanity, will shape a monster.
Physically terrifying, Frankenstein’s creature is fascinating because it is a duplicate of Man and has an inner psychology; in this, Mary Shelley announces modern psychoanalysis.
Since 1818, Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus has been published continuously. Planetary best seller and inexhaustible source of cultural inspiration, the novel by Mary SHELLEY has been adapted for cinema almost 135 times since the matrix Frankenstein by J.S. Dawley in 1910.
Rare case of a classic taught at the university enjoying immense popular success – its mention on Google calls more than ten million results – the novel by Mary Shelley not only excites our imagination, but its history and its theme are also burning news.
Freed from the morbidity of his literary era, this story asks us questions about the origin and the future of man. It constitutes a bridge, a tremendous opening towards Modernity.
Is man a Prometheus having broken his chains, a Faust dominated by his desire for power, a Victor Frankenstein whose creature escapes and turns against him; is it programmed to always exceed its limits?
It is on these different questions, this fabulous potential which influences the present and already the future, that the genesis and foundations of the HUMANEUS CENTER arise.

O. K. I've dealt with two of the family traditions, now for number two of the first lot of Traditions.
To expand - the tradition is that John Lawson was an artist, sculptor and illustrator and that he played some part in renewal of the stained glass windows in St Giles Cathedral. Further to that, Joyce's grandfather and my cousin Sue were each taken to St Giles and shown a window which he designed/built and which he supposedly signed JL. Alas the exact location of the window has been forgotten.
My niece had traced my great, great, grandfather, John Lawson, an artist from Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland, via Edinburgh to London where his daughter, Louise Martha married my great grandfather Adam. She knew of the St Giles rumour but that was all.
My cousin Kaye had written to St Giles Cathedral asking about John Lawson and the stained glass window. The answer she got left a lot to be desired.
' Armed with the date of John Lawson's marriage, I went to Register House, and discovered that he indeed married to Martha Lawson (sic) on 13 July 1858 at 5 Lutton Place, Edinburgh, according to the forms of the Independents - the present church in Lutton Place is St Peter's and is episcopalian. John was 21 and Martha was 19, and they were both from Kirkcaldy, Fife. John's father was a weaver, and Martha's was a labourer (sic). The officiating minister was William Cox, and the witnesses were Thomas Smith and Helen E Cove.
Next, I went to the College of Art Library, where I was given two books - one was the Dictionary of Scottish Art and Architecture by Peter J.M.McEwan, and the second was The Royal Scottish Academy Exhibitor 1826-1990
In both books, I found two John Lawsons, one who exhibited between 1857 and 1863 and lived in Dunfermline and Edinburgh, and was a painter in oil of portraits and domestic animals. The second John Lawson exhibited between 1889 and 1906 and it is this artist who contributed to Golden Thoughts from Golden Fountains. The dictionary gives the date of his death - died at Curmunnock, 9 September 1909.
So back I went to Register House, and looked at this John Lawson's death certificate, and found that he died on 9 August 1909 - not September as given in the dictionary - his waife was called Mary Aitken, and his father as Charles Randolph Lawson. He was 48. The other John Lawson, aged 21 in 1858 and marriued to Martha Carragher, would have been 62 if he died in 1909. We looked at all the John Lawsons who died in 1909, and none was an artist apart from the one involved in illustrating Golden Thoughts.
As far as I can determine there is only ONE John Lawson!!!'
Now if I'm wrong I apologise to the person who wrote the above but I'm sorry it's garbage. The facts are mostly correct but the conclusions erroneous and the research incomplete, although at least one of the mistakes has been made by several people. I must admit that having full internet access may have given me an advantage here.
Not knowing where to start with this one I decided to retrace John Lawson with the info I had.
Looking at John Lawsons born in Dunfermline there were several about the right time so the first positive info we had was his marriage to Martha in 1858.
|Date||:||13 Jul 1858|
|District||:||Newington and Grange, Edinburgh|

A couple of puzzles here, why did they get married in Edinburgh and why did they both give an incorrect residence of Kirkcaldy when they came from Dunfermline ?
The answer possibly lies in the birth of their first daughter Elizabeth Ann in Dec 1858, less that three months later !!!!
Although Elizabeth and second daughter Louise, b 1860, were born in Dunfermline, in the 1861 census, the family is resident at 76, Rosemount Buildings, Edinburgh and John's profession is Glass Stainer's Designer.
In 1871 the family is still in Edinburgh, living at 32, Upper Gray Street and John's occupation is given as Artist on Hand, Designer for Stained Glass.
In 1881 the family has moved to London.
OK. so John was in Edinburgh from 1861 to the mid 70's (they were in London in 1880 as Louise and Edwin marry that year), what about St. Giles?
St Giles was renovated during the 19th century when 'New stained glass was put into the windows.'
So far, so good.
Where to go from here? This was in Oct/Nov 2009 when I was still very new to research so the logical approach was to go to Aberdeen Art Gallery. My enquiry was obviously not the usual type of enquiry and took the commissionaire aback when I asked him for help. However he rallied, conferred with a colleague and then explained that the person to see would be the librarian but unfortunately she was off ill and it wasn't known when she would return, he would see what he could do. He got on the phone and soon a lady appeared to find out if she could help. After explaining my problem she took me up to the library and showed me the relevant Royal Scottish Academy (of Art) catalogue which lists all the artist whose paintings the R.S.A. have exhibited and there was my John Lawson, another John Lawson and a J.Lawson. Now this is where inexperience showed, I didn't take sufficient notes of the info I was seeing and worse still I didn't note either the correct name of the book or the name of the person who helped me, bad boy!!
The information I did note was as follows
Appin Cres, Dunfermline, Fife
1857 - 165* Spring and Summer
1858 - 209 Portrait of a horse and dogs
- 479 Miss Amelia Paton
Queen Anne Pl, Dunfermline
1859 - 528 Pity the pennyless
76 Rosemount, Edinburgh
1861 - 225 The Rev Wm Bruce
31 Dean St, Edinburgh
1863 - 724 Female head - sketch
Lawson, John 1869-1909
all this artist's addresses are from the West coast of Scotland and he was prolific
Exhibited from Edinburgh between1897 - 1902
This clearly shows that there were three different Lawson, Js.
However there is no mention of stained glass anywhere so next on the list was St Giles Cathedral. A quick look at their web site disclosed that they had a Visitor Services Manager so off went an email.
I was very surprised to get a reply from Veronica Kallus the next day. She enclosed three documents about St. Giles and the stained glass windows. She also gave some details of the work that was carried out in the 19th century. Unfortunately none of it of any real help, or so I thought. She had even had nipped into St.Giles to have a look at the early windows, without locating anything.
But Veronika had actually gone further and contacted the company who recently completed the renovation of the windows of St Giles, Stained Glass Design Partnership. She duly received and passed on to me the reply from the author of one of the documents already received, Susan Bradbury who is a partner in Stained Glass Design Partnership. Susan stated that her company had removed a lot of the stained glass windows, stripped, cleaned and then examined them. None of them showed any signatures. Damn!!
Somewhat disheartened I passed this information back to Joyce. She wrote back remarking on something I'd missed. In the document written by Susan Bradbury, Noel Paton was mentioned as being associated with James Bannerman whose company created the early phase windows in the 19th century. John Lawson and his wife Martha named their son Noel Paton Lawson, a coincidence, I don't think so. But wait a minute Paton? In 1858 John showed a picture of a Miss Amelia Paton.
Further research reveals that Noel and Amelia were brother and sister and came from Dunfermline! Noel Paton, later Sir Noel Paton, was a very well respected artist of his time and given that it is acknowledged that James Ballantine wasn't a very good artist, we can surmise that Noel was brought in the uplift the standard. Now the jump in the dark - could Noel have brought in John to translate his artwork to glass, or am I just guilty of wishful thinking ?
Next I went back to the 'researcher's' letter. She mentions the book 'Golden Thoughts from Golden Fountains' as being attributed to the second John Lawson (the Glasgow one). I hadn't heard about this but on enquiry Joyce said that she possesed a copy of it. She wrote 'It is signed by Adam Rankine 29th Jul 1917 and states The drawings at pages 15, 123,171, 215, 239 are by your Grandmother's Father, John Lawson, one of the finest draughtsmen of his day.'.
Even allowing for family pride John was Adam's father-in-law so one must give some credence to this statement.
A quick look on the internet and I found an except from English Illustration : The Sixties 1855-1870 by Gleeson White
'Golden Thoughts from Golden Fountains (Warne, 1867) is another profusely illustrated anthology, on the lines of those that preceded it. The first edition was printed in sepia throughout, but the later editions printed in black do more justice to the blocks. In it we find seventy-three excellent designs by A. Boyd Houghton, G.J. Pinwell, J. Lawson, W.P.Burton, G.Dalzeil, T.Dalziel and others; if the book, as a whole, cannot be placed'
So here we see that a J. Lawson did illustrations for this work in 1867. This cannot be J. lawson #2 as he wasn't born until 29 May 1861 and I don't think he did them at age 5 or 6!!. I haven't been able to trace #3 but the dates look too late.
Nothing more happened until I made my first trip to Edinburgh and boy was that some week!! Anyway one of the visits I made was to the R.S.A. in Princess Street. Although they couldn't help me they put me through to someone who took note of my request and promised to help. Later I got an email from Sandy Wood, Assistant Curator, The Royal Scottish Academy of Art & Architecture and he enclosed photos of the relevant pages from the RSA catalogue and the Dictionary of Scottish Artists and Architects.
The latter clearly attributes Golden Thoughts and many other illustrations to #2, 18 of the books mentioned were published before #2 was 10 years old!!!
I haven't got to bottom of this one yet, I need more ammunition before I try and get changes made to the Dictionary of Scottish Artists and Architects which is the current reference book on artists.

My Review of Why Nations Fail
Overall, “Why Nations Fail” is very overrated. I agree with many of the critiques that Bill Gates makes here. The authors reply is here. It reads like a simplified version of Doug North, and could do with a lot more microeconomic analysis. The book is well over 400 pages, so it’s not like they didn’t have enough room to fit it. I understand why monopolies and currency boards are extractive, but I’m sure that not all readers do.
Good “first estimate” model of politics – leaders seek to extract rents.
Easy to read for even the non-specialist. No math, no data, just storytelling. If you are an idiot, it’s ok, because they repeat each point like 500 times.
“Institutions” is a pretty good theory as to why some nations are poor. It’s certainly better than geography or capital investment. Still, as Easterly likes to say, there’s no one silver bullet. The authors would do well to recognize that.
They cover some very interesting historical examples, such as Venice and Bolivia. The case studies are the best part of the book.
Very Repetitive – You can read pretty much any chapter and get the ideas in the book. Concentrated power = bad, distributed power = good.
Counterexamples in the real world are not addressed sufficiently – India, Singapore. I got the impression the authors, rather than confronting the weaknesses of their theory, simply hoped no one noticed the flaws.
Not Data driven – Lots of just so stories and hand waving.
Very little discussion of which institutions are good and why
The critical juncture theory is unsatisfying. It might line up with historical examples, but there should be a better theory of why some countries go in a particular direction during a critical juncture.
“The Dictator’s Handbook” by Bruce Bueno de Mesquita is better on politics (although his Econtalks are arguably better than the book), “Institutions, Institutional Change and Economic Performance” by Doug North is better on economics. It’s not worth slogging through this behemoth of a book.

Vermicomposting, worm bin, composting with worms community and forums
Started this discussion. Last reply by Bill S Jan 2, 2013.
Clive Edwards has a new vermicompost book out that some members might be interested in checking out. It includes chapters on vermicompost production (at a variety of scales) and different aspects of vermicompost use. There are also some posthumous chapters by Mary Appelhoff. I wrote a chapter on disease suppression with vermicomposts. If anyone is interested, message me and I'll send you a pdf of my chapter. Full disclosure: I have no financial ties to this book at all (the joys of academic publishing :-)).
Most public university libraries accept suggestions on new books to add to their collection, as well as donations of books. I just donated a copy to Mann Library at Cornell after checking to make sure it was a welcome addition to their collection. Our local municipal library system has an inter library loan agreement with Cornell, so now that one copy is available to a whole bunch of folks. Happy reading!
