What we are looking to do is create a code repository that can be used as the source for many Python applications (Flask deployed with Docker) and exporitory data analysis that can share a common library of functions. Pretty much all the credit for this comes from the following article, where Dan Hipschman goes through the process that Opendoor went through to create a mono repo.
The Github repo that the remainder of the blog post is referencing is here Github

For this, I have tested on both ChromeOS Linux (Debian) and Windows WSL2 (Ubuntu 20.04). Docs from here are from the WSL2 run through.
# Make new directory in your home for virtual environments mkdir ~/venv # change into directory cd ~/venv # create a virtual environment named poetry (or any other name you choose) python3 -m venv poetry # activate the vitrual environment source poetry/bin/activate # confirm it activated which python3

# Make new directory in your home for git repos mkdir ~/git # change into directory cd ~/git # clone the repository git clone https://github.com/mortie23/ml.git # change into the clone repo cd ml
Install this repositories requirements (which is just poetry). The remaining packages poetry will handle.
pip install -r requirements.txt
Now using poetry to install the packages (including the internal one)

Register the ipykernel
python3 -m ipykernel install --user --name=poetry
Now to test running the EDA code within VScode, you need to have installed the VSCode Python extension from Microsoft.
This will activate the Run Cell links above each of the
# %% comment blocks.
When you do, an interactive windows will open the right side. Since you have registered your ipykernel, you will need to select it.
Now, when you run the cells, you should see that the internal package can be successfully run from the EDA project code.
To test each function in the internal package we have included pytest and an example unit test.
# change into the package directory cd lib/helloworld # run all tests with pytest pytest
=================================== test session starts ==================================== platform linux -- Python 3.8.10, pytest-7.2.1, pluggy-1.0.0 rootdir: /mnt/c/git/github/mortie23/ml/lib/helloworld collected 1 item tests/test_helloworld.py . [100%] ==================================== 1 passed in 0.09s =====================================
Since we are using poetry to manage the internal package as a dependency in the mono repo, it works in development mode on own local client machine, however when deploying the application using a Docker container, it will not have access to the internal package.
We can either:
deploy the package to an internal package server and then update the
pyproject.tomlfile to source from the internal package server
copy the internal package from the lib directory it is currently in within the mono repo temporarily for the building of the docker image
There are probably other options, but the simplest option for me for this small example was the second option. the build step does this.
If also testing this on Windows WSL2, you will need to install Docker desktop for windows and then configure it to use WSL2 as the kernel.
# change into build tools directory cd tools/build/ # ensure the shell script has execute permissions chmod +x build.sh # run the build script with the parameter as the name of the application directory ./build.sh flask-app-1

New Documentary! Hawaiian Values Differ From Western Traditions...
IN A WORLD THAT PUNISHES GENDER NONCONFORMITY, IMAGINE A PLACE WHERE A LITTLE BOY CAN GROW UP TO BE THE WOMAN OF HIS DREAMS, AND A LITTLE GIRL CAN RISE TO BECOME A LEADER OF YOUNG MEN. WELCOME TO KUMU HINA'S HAWAI'I. A new documentary by Emmy Award-winning directors Dean Hamer & Joe Wilson produced in association with Pacific Islanders in Communications and ITVS.
Words From the Directors...
Just two years ago, we began the making of KUMU HINA, a film about Hina Wong-Kalu, an extraordinary Native Hawaiian teacher, or kumu, and cultural leader who happens to be mahu, the Hawaiian term for those who embrace both masculine and feminine traits.
The experience was magical, capturing the ups and downs of Hinaʻs first-year of marriage to an unpredictable Tongan man and her inspiring mentorship of a young girl whose dream was to lead their schoolʻs all-male hula troupe.
The result is a provocative and inspiring glimpse of a Hawai'i rarely seen by outsiders, and a land in which there is unconditional acceptance and respect for all -- what Kumu Hina calls "the true meaning of aloha."
As the filmʻs 2014 world premiere approaches (to be announced soon), weʻre also getting ready to launch a dynamic engagement campaign to share Kumu Hinaʻs message with the world!
A hint of just how powerful this experience will be occurred over the past few weeks amidst Hawai'i's contentious debate over marriage equality.
As opponents and supporters fought tooth and nail, Kumu Hina published an Op-Ed in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser that profoundly changed the discourse. Rather than make arguments from a Western mindset, she offered an historical perspective on gender and sexuality in Hawai'i that opened the door to what State Senator Gil Kahele called in an extraordinary speech on the Senate floor, "a full and honest renaissance of pre-Christian Hawai'iʻs history."
As the legislative battle continued, Kumu Hina became a prominent symbol of hope, and helped position Hawaiian culture as the guiding force for progress and unity in the islands. Upon passage of the Marriage Equality Act, Gov. Neil Abercrombie invited her to deliver the opening chant at the Signing Ceremony, where there was not a dry eye in the house.
A few highlights from these events are included here, a sign of whatʻs to come with the KUMU HINA film and campaign in the year ahead. We hope youʻll join us on the journey.

The Canoe, a vessel that allows paddlers to explore nature and experience a sense of freedom, has been ingrained in various cultures and a beloved means of transportation and leisure activity for thousands of years.
The origins of the canoe can be traced back to the Stone Age, with its narrow and efficient design enabling smooth navigation through the water. However, determining who invented the canoe remains a challenging task due to its widespread use and appearance in ancient civilizations across the world.
How do we know who invented the canoe?
By exploring the history of the canoe, we gain a deeper understanding of its enduring legacy. Let’s explore the article that covers all the information about who invented canoes and other historical realities.
Who Invented the Canoes?
Canoes have been used by various cultures throughout history, so it is difficult to attribute their invention to a single individual. The exact origins of canoeing are not well-documented, as they predate written history. However, it is believed that indigenous peoples around the world independently developed the concept of using a canoe for transportation on water.
What civilization invented the canoe?
In the quest to uncover the origins of the canoe, archaeologists and researchers have made remarkable discoveries that shed light on the fascinating history of this ancient watercraft.
While the invention of canoes cannot be attributed to a specific civilization, canoes emerged independently in various ancient cultures across the world, with indigenous peoples in North America, Polynesians, and Vikings each making significant contributions.
What was the first known canoe?
Due to the canoe’s ancient existence pre-dating recorded history, a significant finding has provided valuable insights.
One notable discovery is the Pesse Canoe, unearthed in the Netherlands. This ancient canoe, estimated to be approximately ten thousand years old, is considered the oldest known boat ever found
Brief Canoe History
The history of canoes spans back thousands of years. Canoes have been integral to human civilizations across the world, providing a means of transportation, exploration, and survival.
From the Native American tribes in North America to the Polynesians navigating the vast Pacific Ocean, and the Vikings utilizing canoes for their voyages, each civilization contributed to the development and evolution of these remarkable watercraft.
Today, canoes continue to hold significance as a recreational activity and a symbol of exploration and freedom.
Why is it called a canoe?
The word “canoe” itself holds its own charm and history. Derived from the Arawakan language, spoken by indigenous peoples of the Caribbean and South America, the term “canoe” originally referred to a small, light boat made from a hollowed-out tree trunk. Over time, the term became widely adopted and used to describe similar vessels across different cultures and regions.
What were canoes used for in the past?
Throughout history, canoes have served a multitude of purposes. In indigenous cultures, canoes were essential for fishing, hunting, and transportation. They allowed for efficient movement across bodies of water, enabling communities to access resources and establish trade networks.
Has Canoeing been used as recreation in the past?
While canoes played a vital role in survival and sustenance, they also found a place in leisure activities. In many cultures, canoeing became a recreational pastime, with people taking to the water for enjoyment, relaxation, and sport. The thrill of paddling through calm waters or navigating rapids became a source of entertainment and adventure.
Important Individuals Who Made Significant Contributions to Canoe Development
The evolution of canoes, as we know them today, has been shaped by the remarkable contributions of visionary individuals throughout history. These pioneers played a pivotal role in refining canoes’ design, construction, and usage. One such notable figure is Barrister John Macgregor, an English-Scottish lawyer, writer, and sportsman.
Inspired by the ancient kayaks of the Inuits, Macgregor commissioned the construction of his first canoe in 1865, incorporating decked sailing canoes with masts and sails. His adventures on these canoes, chronicled in his books and lectures, ignited interest in canoeing as a recreational activity.
Pesse Canoe: The Oldest Known Canoe
When discussing the history of canoes, it is impossible to overlook the remarkable discovery of the Pesse Canoe. Unearthed in the Netherlands, the Pesse Canoe is believed to be the oldest known canoe, dating back approximately 10,000 years. Its excavation shed light on the early ingenuity of our ancestors and their mastery of boat building.
Where was the Pessey canoe found?
The remarkable Pesse Canoe considered the oldest known boat ever found, was discovered in the village of Pesse in the Netherlands. Unearthed in 1955, this ancient canoe dates back approximately ten thousand years and was crafted from a Scotch pine log using primitive tools.
How were the first canoes made – Prehistoric Design
The construction of prehistoric canoes required resourcefulness and craftsmanship. Early canoes were often made by hollowing out logs or using bark from trees. These natural materials provided strength and buoyancy while allowing for easy maneuverability. The skill and knowledge required to shape and carve these vessels demonstrate the resourcefulness of early humans.
How early did humans make canoes?
Humans began crafting canoes thousands of years ago, showcasing their ingenuity and adaptability. Though who invented the canoe is still mysterious, early evidence suggests that ancient civilizations created canoes as early as the Stone Age, utilizing materials like logs, bark, and reeds. These early watercraft allowed humans to navigate and explore waterways, marking the beginning of a rich history of canoeing.
Comparison of Modern and Traditional Canoes
As canoeing progressed, so did the materials and construction techniques used in building canoes. Modern canoes often incorporate lightweight materials such as fiberglass, Kevlar, or carbon fiber, providing enhanced performance and durability.
Traditional canoes, on the other hand, maintained their charm and continued to be crafted using natural materials like wood and bark, preserving the legacy of ancient designs.
Spread of Canoeing as a Global Sport
Over time, canoeing evolved from a practical means of transportation to a popular sport enjoyed worldwide. The sport gained recognition and popularity in the 19th century, and canoe clubs and associations were formed to promote the activity.
Today, canoes have become an integral part of various recreational and competitive activities. Whether it’s racing, whitewater rafting, touring, camping, freestyle paddling, or simply finding joy in the serene beauty of nature, canoes provide endless opportunities for adventure and relaxation.
History of Canoeing as a Sport and Olympics
Canoeing’s popularity as a sport led to its inclusion in the Olympic Games. The sport made its Olympic debut in 1936 with flatwater canoeing events for men. Over the years, the Olympic program expanded to include women’s events and various disciplines, showcasing the skill, strength, and determination of athletes on the global stage.

- Native American tribes used canoes for travel, fishing, and trade, with each tribe coming up with its own designs and construction techniques.
- The Inuit people of the Arctic region used kayaks, a specialized type of canoe, for hunting in icy waters.
- The ancient Polynesians are believed to have navigated vast stretches of the Pacific Ocean using outrigger canoes, displaying remarkable seafaring skills.
- The birchbark canoe: developed by indigenous peoples in North America, was prized for its lightweight and navigational capabilities.
Canoes in Ocean Voyages
While canoes were primarily used for inland waterways, there are instances of remarkable oceanic voyages undertaken in canoes. For example, the Hokulea, a traditional Polynesian voyaging canoe, embarked on a historic journey across the Pacific Ocean, showcasing the navigational techniques and seafaring prowess of ancient cultures.
Longest Canoe Trip on Record
The longest recorded canoe trip is attributed to Verlen Kruger, an American adventurer. Kruger paddled over 28,000 miles, traversing the waterways of North America in multiple expeditions. His remarkable endurance and dedication to canoeing inspired many and set a record that remains unmatched.

The Update Framework TUF is a specification (and implementation) of a process for generating and validating metadata to ensure content is fresh and available.
TUF aims to be flexible and support old stuff so it is as underspecified as it is specified, preferring to leave a lot of details to implementors.
From the client perspective (thing asking for updates), TUF provides 2 main functions: polling for new updates and fetching those updates. The spec describes a set of roles (with matching keys), metadata files for the roles, and a process to be followed to either get updates or detect a denial of service or other attack, starting with just a (possibly outdated) copy of the root metadata. This is implemented as a python library tuf and a go library tuf-go, as well as a client-server notary for storing and serving the metadata.


The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Concerning the Lord
(Published in Latin in 1763 by Emanuel Swedenborg)
Some years ago there were published the following five short works:
1. Concerning Heaven and Hell.
2. The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem.
3. Concerning the Last Judgment.
4. Concerning the White Horse.
5. Concerning the Planets and other Earths in the Universe.
In these works many things were set forth that have hitherto been unknown.
Now, by command of the Lord, who has been revealed to me, the following are to be published:
It is said "the Doctrine of the New Jerusalem," and this means the Doctrine for the New Church which is at this day to be set up by the Lord; for the old church has come to its end, as is evident from what has been said in the little work on the Last Judgment (n. 33 to n. 39); and also from what is to be further said in the little works just mentioned, which are to follow. That a New Church is meant by the "New Jerusalem," foretold in the twenty-first chapter of the Revelation as to come after the Judgment, may be seen below, in the last chapter.
*Although the treatise here named was never published as a separate work, the subjects of it are specially treated of in the first chapter of the True Christian Religion. See also references to the same subjects in this present work (in. 65), in the Doctrine of the Holy Scripture (n. 32), and in the Angelic Wisdom Concerning the Divine Love and the Divine Wisdom (n. 9). [Translator – John Potts]
** This proposed treatise seems to have been included in the one mentioned immediately before it, which begins with an exposition of the subject of Life. The reason this treatise and the one on the Divine Omnipotence, etc., were not published as separate works, is explained in a letter of Swedenborg to Dr. Beyer, dated February, 1767. See Documents concerning Swedenborg, by R. L. Tafel, vol. ii. p. 261. [Ta.]
"In the spiritual world there was inscribed on all these books:
"The Lord's Advent."
"The same I also wrote by command on two copies
["Brief Exposition"] in Holland."*
" Hic Liber Est Adventus Domini, Scriptum Ex Mandato. "
" This book is the Lord's Advent, written by command. "

Linda G. Tilley: Weaving Words into Life’s Tapestry
Linda G. Tilley, a distinguished author whose literary journey has touched the hearts of countless readers, is a masterful storyteller known for her ability to weave words into the rich tapestry of life itself. With a career spanning over three decades, Linda has consistently created narratives that resonate deeply with audiences, bridging the realms of imagination and reality. Her journey as a storyteller is a testament to the enduring power of literature to inspire, heal, and provoke thought.
Born and raised in the heart of Charleston, South Carolina, Linda’s early life was a testament to the enchanting beauty and historical richness of the South. The city’s cobblestone streets, historic architecture, and tales of the past were a constant source of inspiration. Linda’s parents, both avid readers, introduced her to the magic of books at an early age, kindling her passion for storytelling. In the warm embrace of her family’s library, she embarked on countless adventures through the pages of classic literature.
Linda’s journey as a writer began in her childhood, where she was captivated by the endless possibilities of the written word. With a boundless imagination, she filled notebooks with stories, poems, and the musings of a young writer eager to explore the world through words. Her family recognized her gift and provided unwavering support, nurturing her creative spirit and encouraging her to pursue her dreams.
Upon completing her high school education in Charleston, Linda set her sights on higher learning and attended the College of Charleston, where she pursued a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature. These formative years were marked by an insatiable curiosity for classic literature and a deepening appreciation for the craft of writing. Linda immersed herself in the works of celebrated authors, dissecting their prose and narrative techniques.
After graduating, Linda continued her educational journey, earning a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing at the prestigious Iowa Writers’ Workshop. This remarkable program provided her with invaluable mentorship and guidance, allowing her to refine her storytelling skills and cultivate her unique voice as an author. It was during her time at the workshop that she penned her debut novel, “Whispers of the South.”
Published in 1995, “Whispers of the South” marked Linda’s entry into the world of fiction. The novel, set against the backdrop of the enchanting Lowcountry of South Carolina, captivated readers with its lyrical prose and evocative descriptions of the region’s rich culture and history. It was a tale of love, family, and the enduring connection between people and their homeland. Linda’s ability to transport readers to the sultry landscapes of the South, with its Spanish moss-draped oaks and tidal marshes, garnered critical acclaim and endeared her to a devoted readership.
Throughout her career, Linda’s body of work has continued to expand, encompassing a diverse range of genres and themes. Her novels often explore the complexities of human relationships, the allure of the natural world, and the enduring power of love. Whether crafting historical epics or contemporary romances, Linda’s writing is marked by its emotional depth and authentic characters.
In 2003, Linda was awarded the Southern Book Prize for Fiction, a prestigious accolade that recognized her contributions to the preservation of Southern culture and the enduring relevance of her storytelling. Her ability to capture the essence of the South, its history, and the indomitable spirit of its people, has made her a beloved figure in the literary world.
In addition to her novels, Linda has ventured into the realm of non-fiction, contributing essays and articles to esteemed literary magazines and newspapers. Her insightful commentary and eloquent prose have provided readers with fresh perspectives on a wide range of subjects, from the significance of the Southern Gothic tradition to the art of storytelling itself.
Linda’s influence as an author extends beyond her written works. She is a passionate advocate for literacy and creative writing education, frequently engaging in community outreach programs and visiting schools and libraries to inspire young writers and readers. Her commitment to nurturing the next generation of storytellers is a testament to her belief in the transformative power of literature.
In recent years, Linda has embraced the digital age and the evolving landscape of the publishing industry. Her engaging website and active presence on social media platforms have allowed her to connect with readers on a more personal level, sharing insights into her writing process, inspirations, and the enchanting world of the South.
As Linda looks back on her illustrious career, she remains dedicated to the art of storytelling, recognizing that there are still countless stories to be told and readers to be moved. Her journey as an author continues, and readers can eagerly anticipate the tales that will flow from her pen in the years to come. Linda’s stories will continue to resonate with audiences, offering a profound connection to the human experience and a reminder that in the world of literature, the written word has the power to endure and inspire for generations to come.
With a career spanning over three decades, Linda G. Tilley has published numerous novels and essays that have captivated readers worldwide. Her ability to craft authentic, compelling narratives that touch the soul is a testament to her talent and dedication to the art of storytelling. With each new work, she invites readers to embark on a journey of discovery and empathy, bridging the gaps between generations and cultures. Linda’s storytelling prowess continues to gain recognition, and her impact on literature remains enduring, reminding us of the lasting power of words to move and inspire.


I'm a big David Sedaris fan. I think that Me Talk Pretty One Day is one of the funniest books I've ever read. I've checked out several of his books, the most recent being Holidays on Ice, a collection of holiday-themed comic essays.
If you've seen the stage production of Santaland Diaries (which New Stage Theatre produced in the Hewes Room several years back), then the anchor story in this collection will be very familiar to you. It details Sedaris' stint as a Macy's Christmas elf one year, and it is freaking hilarious. From the humiliating "uniform" to the strict instructions by the Gestapo-like Macy's Christmas management team, you will chuckle during this one.
I found the rest of the book a bit uneven. "Season's Greetings to Our Friends and Family!!!" went on far too long, as did "Christmas Means Giving," which took one joke and spun it out for more than 10 pages. I did enjoy reading "Dinah, the Christmas Whore," though, as well as "Front Row Center with Thaddeus Bristol."
Though every story isn't a gem, the book is a quick read and worth checking out if you're in the mood for some subversive holiday humor.

The American Institute of Iranian
Studies announces the presentation of the annual Lois Roth Persian
Translation Prize funded by the Lois Roth Endowment. This Prize is given in
recognition of demonstrated excellence in translating Persian literature
The eleventh Lois Roth Prize for Literary Translation from Persian to English has been awarded to Geoffrey Squires for his book Hafez: Translations and Interpretations of the Ghazals (Miami University Press, 2014). Since Sir William Jones first made the attempt to set in English the “orient pearls at random strung” of Hafez, the most canonical of Persian lyric poets, dozens of translators have attempted English translations and versions of Hafez, but few have succeeded. Squires’ Hafez captures the energy and depth of this fourteenth-century poet in contemporary English without archaisms or predetermined interpretation. It displays a supple and at times even exhilarating handling of language and form. The integration of annotations and commentary provide the uninitiated reader with the right balance of background information and a personal, lyrical encounter with the raw poem. Squire’s intimate familiarity with the poems, and the clarity and crispness of the diction he employs, almost makes Hafez a contemporary writer, but without obscuring from today’s reader the chronological and cultural difference, and the unique qualities of the fixed-form ghazal he practiced.
The Lois Roth Persian Translation Prize was
established in memory of Lois Roth whose interest in and affection for Iran
and Iranian culture dates back to the late 1960s when she lived and worked
in Iran as Assistant and then Deputy Cultural Attache in the USIA and as
Director of the Iran America Society. At that time Lois Roth was one of a
group of persons who helped initiate and encourage the foundation of the
American Institute of Iranian Studies. After her death in 1986 the Lois Roth
Endowment was created. Since 1999 the Endowment has included, among many
contributions to international programs, funding for the Lois Roth Persian
Translation Prize of the American Institute of Iranian Studies.

QIMMEQ X HAZE&FINN
QIMMEQ - The Greenland Sled Dog is a tribute in text and striking images to a unique dog breed and the Inuit culture surrounding it. The book combines results from scientific studies with traditional knowledge of the dog in an aesthetically beautiful expression. The book is richly illustrated by award-winning photographer Carsten Egevang’s black and white photos. In an intriguing layout, the sled dog is portrayed, the special bond between musher and the sled dogs as well as the dog’s functions in today’s Greenland is documented - all with the magnificent Greenlandic scenery as background.
Haze and Finn are original names of sled dogs, those that roam the endless ice plains of the Arctic and make life there even more unique than it already is. As a brand we refer to the authentic values of life on the Arctic: Inner Beauty, Belonging and Survival.
Climate change is threatening this way of life visually captured by Carsten, which has caused our focus and resources to be shifted towards preserving the Arctic and all that makes it so special. With Carsten bringing awareness to the matter and doing everything in his power to avoid a “what once was” story, supporting him on his journey in 2021 made complete sense.
To give you the opportunity to do the same, his last book is now for sale on his website: https://www.carstenegevang.com/qimmeqbook. All proceeds will be going straight to the project documenting the sled dog and Inuit traditional lifestyle. You will be receiving the book signed by Carsten himself, along with a H&F tee.

This vim6 plugin will automatically load cscope.out databases into vim when you open a C file. (headers included)
It does a search starting at the directory that the file is in, and checking the parent directories until it find the cscope.out file. The idea being that you can start editing a source file deep in a project dir, and it will find the correct cscope database a couple dirs up.
This version also creates some macros and a menu that can be useful. If you don't like them, you can set g:autocscope_menus to 0 and the menu and macros won't load.

A firefighter? Nope
A Doctor? No not that
A Youtuber! I got it didn’t I?
I guess aspiring to be a Youtuber or Vlogger is a modern-day version of dreaming to be a rockstar or actor. Possible but probably not going to happen.
Sitting down with Rory and speaking to him about what job he would like to do (and getting over the initial “Youtuber” conversation) he had made some choice decisions. He likes the thought of working on video games or something techie. He would also like to own a Pizzeria, which considering he only decided he didn’t absolutely hate pizza last month is a bit of a radical career choice.
Addie on the other hand is still holding out hope of being a vet, Marceline (The Vampire Queen) or Taylor Swift!!!
I went through every job aspiration that ever existed when I was young. From an artist to an actor to a writer to a teacher to (and I quote) “I’m just going to live in London and get money and free stuff because I’m cool”. I eventually fell into a job I love and still have to be an artist and writer.
There are many books, films and TV shows where the main character becomes a princess or a superhero or a pop star. There are very few (none maybe?) about kids becoming computer programmers or business moguls.
Clever Tykes is a series of books aimed at primary school children aged 6-9 years. The books aim to introduce enterprise and life skills to children through the use of entrepreneurial role models.
We were given the first three books in the series to read and review ourselves and to give away to you guys. The books are Walk-It Willow, Code-It Cody and Change-It Cho.
The first in the series, Walk-It Willow follows the story of a girl who turns her love of dogs into her very own dog walking business. The story, along with the others highlight decision-making, resourcefulness and the importance of hard work through the use of strong, likeable and realistic characters. The books also include target literacy and numeracy skills for key stage 2 level learning. Both of Addie and Rory (aged 7 and 9) enjoyed the books and happily chatted about their future careers for some time after reading them. They found all of the books good fun. Rory’s favourite was Code-it Cody and Addie’s was Walk-it Willow.
Clever Tykes are a husband and wife team, Jodie and Ben. As well as being mentioned in Forbes Thirty under Thirty list and having their books stocked in high-end retailers such as Harrods and Selfridges, they also secured a deal to supply 23,000 books and resources to primary schools across the U.K. This is thanks to a sponsorship from Lloyds Banking Group.

After a two-year pause due to COVID, the Orcas Island Lit Fest (OILF) is back, and I can hardly wait for it to begin next Friday, June 3. I was honored to serve on the OILF Board for its first two years, and I’ve missed this gathering of renowned authors and avid readers in the intimate setting of Orcas Center. Clearly, the current Board has been hard at work to recreate the festival, this year both in person and virtual.
You can read about all the featured artists, but here’s a brief rundown of the headliners:
Seattle journalist and author of nine books, Timothy Egan
Nicola Griffith, writer and queer cripple with a PhD who divides her time between Seattle and Leeds
Rosanne Parry, author of novels for young readers, including A Whale of the Wild
Danzy Senna, memoirist and fiction writer challenging our culture’s defined states of race, class, and gender norms
Octavio Solis, author of over twenty plays that both draw on and transcend the Mexican-American experience.
They’ll be joined by a long list of guest artists who will participate in panels and Friday night’s Lit Walk. I’m thrilled to be among the readers on Friday night and to share the stage at Tide Pool Coffeehouse with fellow Homebound Publications authors Heather Durham and Kip Robinson Greenthal.
You’ll find the entire Festival Schedule for the weekend online, but here’s a quick overview:
Friday, June 3, 5-8 pm. Lit Walk –Three phases of readings by local and regional writers, hosted at six different venues around the village of Eastsound. Free to the public.
Saturday, June 4
Book Store presented by Darvill’s Bookstore at Orcas Center

The recognition of states: law and practice in debate and evolution
DescriptionRecognition of states has commanded fresh attention since the break-up of multi-ethnic federations in Eastern Europe. New state practice concerning recognition requires a new assessment of how we think about recognition. Thomas D. Grant shows how an old doctrinal debate over recognition has faded, but how and why writers continue to use the terms of that debate. Grant goes on to argue that international decision-making process, not doctrine, is the more important issue surrounding recognition today.
“Grant is to be congratulated for recognizing and documenting the European movement toward a collective process of recognition.” Vol. 95, American Journal of International Law (2010) 252–254.
“[A]n extensive study of recognition in broader context.” Vol. 32, Georgia Journal of International and Comparative Law (2004) 661–712.

Longer DescriptionThomas D. Grant examines the "Great Debate" over state recognition, tracing its eclipse, and identifying trends in contemporary international law that may explain the lingering persistence of the terms of that debate. Although writers have generally accepted the declaratory view as more accurate than its old rival, the judicial sources often cited to support the declaratory view do not on scrutiny do so as decisively as commonly assumed. Contemporary doctrinal preference requires explanation. Declaratory doctrine, in its apparent diminution of the role state discretion plays in recognition, is in harmony, Grant asserts, with contemporary aspirations for international law. It may seem to many writers, he believes, that international governance functions better in a conceptual framework that reduces the power of states to legislate what entities are states.
Grant proceeds from this analysis of the contemporary status of the old debate to ask what questions now take center stage. In place of doctrine, Grant argues, process is the chief issue concerning recognition today. Whether to recognize unilaterally or in a collective framework; whether to acknowledge legal rules or to let recognition be controlled by political calculus--as Grant points out, such questions concern how states recognize, not the theoretical nature of recognition. This is an important analysis for scholars and researchers of international law and relations and contemporary European politics.

ABOUT THE BOOK

The Little book of Eve
“I remember the day I woke up
to the realisation that I had
been lied to my whole life.”
When sin entered the world, it did not come alone. Lies, shame and fear have plagued humanity since that day, radically impacting our lives, causing us to hide our true selves and to shy away from our Creator.
But God’s desire for His own people is endless. Before the foundation of the world, He had put in place the perfect plan, which would restore His precious children to all He had created them to be, tenderly guiding them back to His side.
With short, bite-size chapters, inspiring stories and a balance of honesty, humour and profound truth, The Little Book of Eve explores this passionate love story, underpinned by the relentless pursuit of God for His people.
Drawing on powerful stories from her own life and the lives of others, Shirley Higham takes a fresh look at the unique journey of Eve and reveals how we can experience God’s love, acceptance and freedom for ourselves.


"BUPA THE SURF-ELEPHANT": The Mystery of the Glowing Light, is a 32 page, soft-cover, fictional children's book based on the real name of, "BUPA" the elephant (pronounced, "BOOPA")- the only elephant to ever live on a Caribbean island (the island of St. Lucia). This book contains colorfully computer-designed illustrations combined with a fun, rhyming narrative, and is the first of a series. The inside of the front cover provides pictures of "BUPA'S CAST OF CHARACTERS" and the inside of the back cover provides pictures of the "REAL BUPA" socializing with some of the people involved in "BUPA'S" life, as well as animal friends. This book not only includes numerous, entertaining, fictional characters (e.g. Magoobey the Monkey, Misty the Mermaid, Pirate the Pig, Bazooka Banana, Princess Peach and other "ISLAND FRUITIANS"), it also provides a downloadable link that gives access (via included code on 1st page), to a captivating world of "BUPA" media, such as- songs, videos, illustrations (of the fictional character "BUPA," other fictional characters, and the real "BUPA"), as well as a "BUPA FACTS" outline (in PDF format), of the real "BUPA's" journey from the jungles of Africa to island shores of St. Lucia. The outline briefly describes Colin Tenant's (British nobility), purchase of the "REAL BUPA" as well as his daughter's decision as what to name the elephant- "BUPA." Further, the PDF outline should be read to children by parents/guardians as the vocabulary and sentences may need defining and explaining. "BUPA THE SURFELEPHANT": The Mystery of the Glowing Light, is an adventure the entire family can enjoy. Though the "BUPA" character and story are fictional, the name and elephant are both historically real. The actual "BUPA" who lived on a St. Lucian beach was frequently involved in an activity that is depicted on the last page of the book. Hence, there is once page of this vibrantly colored, fictional children's book that is true to life. "Long live BUPA!"
