Beijing Harper Lecture: The First Age of Mechanical Calculation
From roughly 1870 to 1970, the first reliable calculating machines were manufactured and marketed internationally, allowing the heavy-duty calculations required for astronomy, insurance, official statistics, and navigation to be partially automated.
The result was the demotion of calculation from a lofty form of intelligence to a mechanical activity. Yet a closer look reveals that the shift from human to mechanical calculations created new forms of intelligence and a tight connection between algorithms and the division of labor that has persisted ever since. Join Lorraine Daston for an exploration of the methods and meanings of calculation in modern times.

Anthony Grove Hillerman was born in Sacred Heart, Oklahoma, and was a decorated combat veteran of World War II, having served as a mortarman in the 103rd Infantry Division and having earned the Silver Star, the Bronze Star, and a Purple Heart. He worked as a journalist from 1948 to 1962, then earned a master's degree. He taught journalism from 1966 to 1987 at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, where he resided with his wife until his death in 2008. Hillerman, a consistently bestselling author, was ranked as New Mexico's 22nd wealthiest man in 1996.
Hillerman wrote 18 books in his Navajo series and he wrote more than 30 books total, among them a memoir and books about the Southwest, its beauty and its history. His literary honors were awarded for his Navajo books. Hillerman books have been translated into eight languages, among them Danish and Japanese.
Hillerman's writing is noted for the cultural details he provides for the people he writes about: Hopi, Zuni, European-American, federal agents, and especially Navajo Tribal Police. His works in nonfiction and in fiction reflect his appreciation of the natural wonders of the American Southwest and his appreciation of its people, particularly the Navajo.
His mystery Novels are set in the Four Corners area of New Mexico and Arizona, sometimes reaching into Colorado and Utah and beyond, sometimes to Washington, DC, Los Angeles and other areas. The protagonists are Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee of the Navajo tribal police. Lt. Leaphorn was introduced in Hillerman's first novel, The Blessing Way (1970). The second book in the series, Dance Hall of the Dead (1973), won a 1974 Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America for Best Novel. In 1991, Hillerman received the MWA's Grand Master Award. Hillerman has also received the Nero Award (for Coyote Waits) and the Navajo Tribe's Special Friends of the Dineh Award.
Hillerman repeatedly acknowledged his debt to an earlier series of mystery Country written by the British-born Australian author Arthur W. Upfield and set among tribal aborigines in remote desert regions of tropical and subtropical Australia. The Upfield Country appeared first in 1928 and featured a half-European, half-aboriginal Australian hero, Detective-inspector Napoleon (Bony) Bonaparte who worked with deep understanding of tribal traditions. The character was based on the real-life achievements of an aborigine known as Tracker Leon whom Upfield had met during his years in the Australian bush.
In many novels, Leaphorn and/or Chee investigate reports of witchcraft or other supernatural events, often while at the same time investigating seemingly unrelated crimes of a more ordinary sort. In many cases the two are related, the supernatural events being staged as a way to cover up the other crimes.

Shared Reading forms part of the daily phonics lessons and is led by the reading teachers. Each child reads for at least 20 minutes every day, in a small group with their reading teacher. All texts are linked to the child's phonic ability. Children enjoy one focus text per week and learning activities support accurate and fluent reading to facilitate comprehension. In addition, children take fully decodable reading books home to further practice skills learnt at school. These books are matched to each child's phonics ability and are closely monitored by the reading teachers to ensure that children are reading books of an appropriate level. Each child visits the school library every week or fortnightly to select a book of their choice to share at home. Visits to the school library are quality sessions where children explore and discover books by different authors and of different genres.
Children will be introduced to ‘Ditty books’ when they successfully begin to read single words. The short vowels should be kept short and sharp:
Children use sound-blending (Fred Talk) to read short ditties. They will bring these home once they have read and discussed the book in class. Children will then be challenged to use their developing phonic knowledge to write short sentences.
Within all the books children will have red and green words to learn to help them to become speedy readers. Red words are words that are not easily decodable and challenge words to extend children’s vocabulary. Green words are linked to the sounds they have been learning and are easily decodable.
Dots and dashes represent the sound each letter makes


The Sunday Times. March 19, 1995
Rreinnstadt is ''a place which exists nowhere'' the conception of a 17th-century prince who devotes his time, and that of his subjects, to laying down on paper the architecture and street-plans of this great, yet illusory city. Its inhabitants must also be devised: artists and authors, their fictional lives and works, all concocted by different departments. When Schenck, a worker in the Cartography Office, discovers the ''existence'' of Pfitz, a manservant visiting Rreinnstadt, he sets about illicitly re-creating Pfitz's life. Crumey is a daring writer: using the stuff of fairy tales, he ponders the difference between fact and fiction, weaving together philosophy and fantasy to create a magical, witty novel (Dedalus Pounds 7.99). NM
Kenneth Wright. The Herald (Glasgow). April 8, 1995
IT MAY seem a hard thing to say about a good book that, ideally, it should never have been written. After all, had it never been written, no-one would ever know that it was any good. But Glasgow-born Andrew Crumey's mischievous metaphysical comedy about the relationship between stories, fiction, and (big word coming up) reality is so entirely taken up with things conceived but never made, people invented but never born, and stories made up never to be told, that the sheer existence of this physical lump of paperback on my desk seems almost self-contradictory, like Samuel Beckett's cheerful remark that "every word is like an unnecessary stain upon silence and nothingness".
But Beckett said those words. And Pfitz exists. So, throwing another contradiction on the fire, I might as well review it. Much exposition will, I fear, be necessary. Here goes.
An eighteenth-century prince falls in love with a girl called Margaret, who soon afterwards dies. Stricken with grief, he commands a new city to be built as her memorial. But so detailed and precise are the plans of Margaretenburg, and so determined is the prince that it shall bear no possible imperfection, that its planning soon engrosses the kingdom's whole wealth and manpower, and Margaretenburg can never be built.
But the project has given the prince a taste for conceptual cities, and after a few more prentice essays in the art, he conceives of the great metropolis of Rreinstadt, the City as Encyclopaedia. The great library of Rreinstadt will contain the knowledge of everything that can be known, including every detail of Rreinstadt and its inhabitants and of the library itself, a self-referential spiral to which there can be no end.
To fill the never-to-be-built library, cartographers are engaged to map Rreinstadt down to the interior of every room and the people in them on every day. Biographers create the people of Rreinstadt, complete with pasts and futures and in some cases literary careers, which involves the creation of more people with pasts and futures . . . and at this point my head exploded.
After running repairs had been carried out on my critical equipment, I was able to follow the story of Schenk, a map-maker who falls in love with a girl in the biography department. He discovers an obscure and overlooked servant called Pfitz among the dramatis personae of Rreinstadt and, for an excuse to talk to the girl in biography, begins to write Pfitz's own quite unauthorised story, that of a Sancho Panza-like valet to a stiff-necked nobleman. But this unauthorised intervention, especially as Pfitz has stories of his own to tell, disrupts the smooth narrative clockwork of the official version, and soon authors and characters and the authors of authors begin to interact in a complicated melodrama of jealousy, murder, and romantic intrigue.
Pfitz, as you can see, is not exactly a work of strict naturalism. Andrew Crumey is having himself some fun with the artifice of literary creation, cutting the strings that connect authors to their puppets and letting them run around on their own. Meta-fiction, as this class of caper is sometimes called, is however just as much an artifice -- all fiction is artificial -- as the convention of the Godlike author, and the small number of worthwhile books it has inspired in its long career (you can trace it back at least as far as M R James's terrifying story The Mezzotint) suggests that its limitations may actually be greater.
But that's not to say that it can't produce amusing and thought-provoking novels; and, jollied along as it is by casually interpolated shaggy-dog stories, irrelevant but imaginatively bizarre anecdotes, philosophical puzzles, and cosy chats between Crumey and the reader, this dense but brief fantasy is among that small but honourable band.
Jonathan Coe. Guardian. June 25, 1995
ONE OF the characters in Andrew Crumey's second novel complains: "I can't work out who this story is supposed to be about, or what happens, or why." Helpfully, his wife then goes on to explain: "It's about a group of people who get together to write a book, but then they all fall in love with the same woman and start to argue amongst themselves, and they decide to settle the matter with a duel."
That is as good a summary of Pfitz as you are likely to get, and one which tells you much about the novel and its author. A book about a group of people who get together to write a book -- now where have we heard that before? Hann O'Brien's At Swim-Two-Birds? Crumey's novel shares a similarly elaborate structure, with its giddying spiral of stories-within-stories, and takes the same delight in the scope fiction provides for acts of violent revenge upon hapless characters.
Meanwhile, the fact that romantic differences are going to be settled by a duel alerts us to the oddly pleasing stiffness and formality which sets the emotional tone. Look elsewhere if you want graphic sex or raw displays of feeling: Crumey is more likely to give you clinically precise descriptions of the body ("that taut area of pale skin, and the threads of veins like some hypothetical system of roads, or rivers"), while the closest his hero comes to lust is ogling a woman and fantasising about "the warm promise of her bosom". If that diction barely seems to belong to this century, we should bear in mind that Pfitz is an 18th century novel, in two senses: not only is it set in the 18th century, it is also heavily indebted to the literature of that period, especially the jokey, quasi-philosophical jeu d'esprit of Diderot's Jacques Le Fataliste.
Crumey's central conceit is bookish and cerebral: a powerful monarch devotes all his energies, and the entire financial and intellectual resources of his state, to the creation of Rreinnstadt, an ideal city which exists only on paper. At first this means that maps have to be drawn. the plans of streets and parks have to be laid out, buildings have to be designed and illustrated down to the tiniest detail. But the task goes further: there are citizens to be created, with biographies to be imagined and written down -- even the novels they read for amusement have to be composed by somebody. A thriving bureaucracy is established, incorporating the Literature Division and its sub-groups, such as the Department of Anecdotes and the Office of Unreliable Information.
Crumey's witty plot device involves one Count Zelneck, a visitor to the imaginary city who is created by Estrella, one of the labourers in the Biography Department. Our hero, Schenck, is a cartographer who falls obsessively in love with Estrella and brings something disturbing to her attention: the possibility that her Count may or may not have a mysterious servant called Pfitz. who only appears on one of the city's maps and is never mentioned anywhere else.
Estrella is horrified by the thought that Pfitz might "exist" without her knowledge: if this is the case, "then everything will become inconsistent and we'll be lost." On one level, then, we are dealing with a love story, a simple fable about passion and its capacity to disrupt an orderly life. At the same time, a murder mystery starts shifting into gear: the rogue servant needs to be done away with if consistency is to be restored. Who is prepared to take on the task?
Even this account doesn't do justice to the strata of sub-plots, the complex games with fictionality Crumey crams into this (somewhat overcrowded) little volume. Pfitz manifests the same healthy disdain for realism that made his first novel, Music In A Foreign Language, such a pleasant surprise. His borrowings from Borges, Calvino and Pavic are here just as shameless. But at this rate Crumey may yet become a minor hero to fans of the postmodern Euro-novel who wonder why we Brits so seldom produce a homegrown variety.
Jonathan Coe. The Observer "Books of the Year". November 26, 1995
Three novels published this year stand out as having been misunderstood, neglected or undervalued. Kazuo Ishiguro's sweetly funny, but complex and demanding The Unconsoled (Faber pounds 15.99) set the reviewing establishment a challenge which " with a few honourable exceptions " it failed to meet. Less well known and hyped than his Scottish contemporaries, Andrew Crumey continued to plough his own distinctive furrow with Pfitz (Dedalus pounds 7.99), a well-crafted and ingenious box of postmodern tricks in the European mode. And Past Caring, by Suzannah Dunn (Flamingo pounds 5.99) has haunted me all year: a quizzical, unsettling story of suburban reincarnation, true to the form of a writer who scrutinises modern England with a curiosity about language and a subversive wit that few of her peers can match.
Kirkus Reviews. August 1, 1997
Philosopher-novelist Crumey follows his prize-winning debut (Music, In a Foreign Language, 1996) with an equally pithy and pleasing tale of love and intrigue among the state-sponsored designers of a wholly imaginary city.
In the 18th century, a dreamer of a prince decides that cities are far more interesting when they are completely fabricated, right down to the lives of their lowliest inhabitants, so he devotes his energy and the resources of his realm to the perfection of his ideal: a city that exists only on paper. The result, Rreinnstadt, is the creation of an army of specialized laborers, among them Cartographer Schenck and Biographer Estrella. Schenck is smitten when he first sets eyes on Estrella, and so to make her notice him he tells her of Pfitz, the servant of the mysterious Count Zelneck (whose biography Estrella has already prepared), a man whose name he found next to the count's on a map but about whom there is no official record. Presenting the story of the knave-savant Pfitz- -himself a devious yarnspinner -- in installments constructed feverishly in all-night sessions after work gains the biographer's full attention, but it also draws Schenck deeper into a potentially deadly mystery. Another name is beneath that of Pfitz on the map, partially erased; by doing research on it, the Cartographer discovers a real madman and a real murder, as well as doubts that the fair Estrella is being completely honest with him. In the end, he'll have to decide whether the Schenck he has always been is who he wants to remain, or whether he must reinvent himself in order to gain what he most desires.
Borrowing from Conan Doyle as much as from Wittgenstein, this is a heady concoction, deeply inventive, displaying an abundance of humor as well as a convincing celebration of the lusty enchantments of youth. A real treat.
Andrew Miller. New York Times. 19 October 1997
A German prince of the 18th century devotes his life to the creation of imaginary cities. The first, Margaretenburg, is a memorial to a lost sweetheart. Others follow, each more ambitious than the last, but existing only on the paper on which they have been drawn, more perfect, more beautiful than any actual city could ever be. The prince, however, remains dissatisfied. Looking back from the vantage of middle age, he suspects there is something frivolous in his creations, that his career has been ''a gradual process of dilution -- an almost imperceptible squandering of his talents.''
Maps are torn up; the prince is in a funk. Then, rousing himself, he embarks on one last great project, mobilizing the mental powers of the entire citizenry to create the city of Rreinnstadt, in which the ideals of the Enlightenment -- Rreinnstadt will be the city as encyclopedia -- and the Romantic Movement's championing of the Imagination will be yoked together by a fever of obsessive planning: ''Laying out the streets and designing the buildings was only the smallest part of the whole enterprise. Not only every edifice, but the interiors of these constructions also would have to be planned and illustrated; their furnishings and decorations, and moreover their occupants -- biographies, memoirs and reminiscences would have to be written.''
Rreinnstadt, quarried from the collective imagination of the prince's subjects, will shimmer like the City of God (as built by Germans), a place free from the subversions of reality, its maps, indexes and catalogues detailing what is in effect a highly organized falsehood -- rather like a novel. But reality, in the shape of a young cartographer called Schenck who falls in love with the beautiful Estrella, a worker in the Biography Division of the great planning, or building, institution, intrudes into the purity of the prince's vision like a virus into a computer program.
In the corridors of an increasingly deranged bureaucracy, chance and human passion make nonsense of an enterprise that relies on the discipline of its dreamers. Andrew Crumey, the author of this tale, ''Pfitz'' -- whose biographical note reveals him to have been a student of theoretical physics and nonlinear dynamics -- develops his story with admirable rigor, seizing on both the comic and the philosophical potential of a world in which the actual and the imagined have become fatally blurred. The style of the book is self-consciously that of the contes philosophique of Voltaire and Diderot. It shares their compactness, their irony, their high comedy and playfulness, though not the satire, unless it is creativity itself -- the way in which our productions defy us -- that is being lampooned. Above all it shares their ambition to treat the difficult and the serious with the lightest of touches.
The risk is that in such a speculative, such a fantastic world, nothing much matters. In ''Pfitz'' we have authors inventing authors. We have stories within stories, stories that go nowhere and seem at first mere whimsy. Creator and created exist together in a state of increasing unease, wrestling with problems of ontology and confronting each other in rococo dreams. Some, like Spontini, the product of a committee of writers the members of which have fallen out among themselves, are tormented by their doubts to the point of madness: ''I believe that I am remembering something, but this may be another trick which they are playing on me. I believe that I am about to act under my own volition, but I cannot be sure whose hand moves the pen, or my eyes and mind as I read. I know only that I am made manifest through many diverse voices which bear little relation each to the other. What I am is a collection -- an anthology -- of incomplete, disconnected ideas. Is any man more than this?''
Characters aware of themselves as characters, of living only within the covers of a book, have been the fodder of self-regarding fictions for 200 years. It is a game that many writers, seduced by the weirdness of what they are doing, find impossible to resist, and it drives many readers to distraction, like a certain kind of modern jazz where the musicians are having more fun than the audience. Yet for all this, ''Pfitz'' is a surprisingly warm and likable book, a combination of intellectual high-wire act and good traditional storytelling with a population of lovers and madmen we do care about, despite their advertised fictionality. Certainly Crumey's narrative gymnastics have not affected his ability to create strong, fleshy characters, and none more fleshy, more fleshly, than Frau Luppen, Schenck's middle-aged landlady, a great blown rose of a woman who expresses her affection for her lodger by feeding him bowls of inedible stew.
''Her husband had died many years earlier; some said of exhaustion, others suggested an accident involving the injudicious distribution of his wife's weight one night. Eating the stew of cabbage and pigflesh which was placed before him, Schenck considered other possibilities.
'' 'You're very pale these days, Herr Schenck, and you look like you're wasting away. You're not en amour are you?' When Frau Luppen giggled, the dimples creased and sank into the depths of her cheeks like lost islands.''
There is a good sprinkling of such pleasures in ''Pfitz.'' It makes for rewarding reading -- cerebral, adroit, not afraid to take chances but never allowing itself to be seduced by theory, by mere cleverness. Crumey's work -- this is his second novel; the first, ''Music, in a Foreign Language,'' was set in a postwar British police state -- has, predictably enough, attracted the description ''post-modernist'' and it seems likely he will get stuck with the tag and thus be accorded the honor of being respected and unread. This would be unfortunate, for though he has the discipline of the nouveaux romanciers he is far closer to the world of Italo Calvino, particularly the Calvino of ''The Baron in the Trees,'' ''If on a Winter's Night a Traveler'' and, of course, ''Invisible Cities.'' In both writers there is a joy in the freedoms of fiction, a love of games and paradoxes, of anecdote and fable.
''Pfitz'' would be an unlikely best seller and it will not, I think, find its way to Hollywood. Yet it slips neatly into a pocket, takes no more than a couple of hours to read and deserves many friends.

True to Winterson charm, the reader is taken on a drifting and cloudy plot-line that forces a deeper understanding of what is written between the lines.
We follow three figures: Handel, Picasso and Sappho. The novel splits into three narratives that alter in time, but rhythmically mirror each other in the depths of their words as the three travel towards the coast on a train. In the beginning, there is no hint of familiarity in the figures, although they of course are all on the same train for a similar reason to be discovered within the pages and confirmed in the conclusion.
Handel, for me, was the easiest to follow. He is a surgeon and at one time long ago, a priest. He is shy and quiet and delights in the female form in a unique way that separates him from all other men. Experiencing Winterson's voice through the gruff textures of a man is always difficult because of her tendency towards feminism, but through Handel she captures the essence of her own voice filtered through his character.
Picasso's narrative is a recollection of the negative parts of her life, specifically the attempt of her family to drown her creativity and gender. Regardless of the multitude of struggles that are thrust upon her, she continues to push on through the hardships with the belief that she can prevail over indifference. Her character is a strong yet broken woman that seeks the relation to the original namesake.
Sappho was the most difficult to follow. both the poet of 660 BC and present day. She drifts in and out of poetry not unlike the Woolf stream of consciousness, littering the heavy descriptions with the beautiful wording of a true romantic. Although well-worded and almost dream-like in description, Sappho tended to bore me with the pages and pages of romantic ramblings. I often found myself sighing with relief when her segment would end.
The most important connection for all of the characters is the struggle. Whatever it was that they went through in their lives, and every struggle is largely different and obscure from the next, they all found themselves deserted by those who they held dearest. The most important fact of them all riding the train together is the strong symbol that they are not alone, even if the world shouts to them that they are. All three figures have been broken in the 200+ pages, yet they still remain past the conclusion.
I give this novel a 3/5. Originally, when I was reading I became tired with Sappho's constant rambling and I grew weary of the foreboding "defeatest" attitudes that I was sure would prevail throughout the pages. But within the lines, ever so subtly, Winterson hid clues to their stories connecting in a way that I would not have imagined. They all connect to each other in more ways than simply metaphorically, and although the plot drifts through time they all come together in the past and in the present, shattering the entire reality of time. It is through the physical and metaphorical connection that I found solace and hope in the conclusion of the text.


Pauline Bewick: Yellow Man Grey Man
Pauline Bewick: Yellow Man Grey Man is a feature film by artist Maurice Galway, which looks in a creative way at the hugely successful series of work by Pauline known as The Yellow Man and also her series of works entitled The Grey Man drawings, which are not so well known.
"Its rather sad really I was searching for the perfect society. That's why I went to The South Pacific and that's why I invented The Yellow Man. He to me is perfection. I created The Yellow Man because if our society were made up of Yellow Men it would be a marvelous place." Pauline Bewick
The film is the result of Maurice getting to know Pauline over many years. Following many conversations Maurice discovered that Pauline had created a Grey Man along with her very popular Yellow Man. The Yellow Man represents an ideal life style and philosophy and is widely known and much loved all over the world. Fewer people are familiar with The Grey Man, which deals with a much darker side to the artist. The drawings were the result of discussions Pauline had with a Gestalt psychoanalyst.
Documentary feature film on one of Ireland's leading artist.

Are you interested in learning more about Free Sites to Do Your Legal Research on? If so this is the article for you! Paralegal professionals and students need a reliable legal research database that doesn’t cost a lot of money. Fortunately, there are many tools available online that give paralegal students and professionals access to legal research databases. For students considering whether to become a paralegal, it’s worthwhile to understand the types of tools available.
Law firms have always needed access to affordable research tools. Today many organizations have pooled their resources to create free access to local, state, and federal laws, cases, and other valuable legal information. For paralegal students, this is a dream come true. It’s now easy to study case law and write papers using authoritative information that doesn’t cost a dime.
Some databases require membership in a Bar Association while others offer a free trial period. So, paralegals can try them out before deciding whether to become paid members. With numerous excellent free tools online, law firms can spend their money elsewhere and paralegals can complete their work with excellent resources.
Note that many of these tools offer a free trial for bar association members. Following the free trial, you may have to pay to access these tools. So, read the fine print when vetting out sites for your paralegal work.
1. Lexis Web
Lexis Web allows new users free access to its legal research databases. However, after an initial trial period, users must become paid members to access the site’s legal research services.

Lexis states that its purpose is advancing the rule of law.

Paralegals can also conduct free legal research on the CaseMaker X website.

4. State Statutes
Following the general migration of information to the internet, all state statutes are now available online. State statutes are great resources for paralegals looking to conduct legal research online. Here are a few examples of state websites that make it easy for paralegal professionals to complete online legal research:
Both local and state organizations are striving to get their information online. This is particularly true for state supreme courts. For paralegals looking for state case law, state statutes available online provide a great starting point.
The National Center for State Courts lists the sites for all 50 states supreme courts. Additionally, the Caselaw Access Project has published all U.S. court decisions in a digitized version, using the collection at the Harvard Law Library. LLRX contains a collection of dockets, forms and rules for state courts.
5. United States Code
Paralegals looking for a comprehensive legal research database often consult the United States Code, now available online. Of all the legal research databases available, this is one of the most authoritative. The U.S.C. is organized into 54 titles, each of which contains laws from a particular subject area. For instance, Title 18 documents criminal procedures and crimes. When referring to sections of the U.S.C., legal professionals use the title number followed by the abbreviation USC and the relevant section. For example, Title 18 Section 2101 becomes 18 U.S.C. §2101.
There are several volumes to the printed U.S.C., and the title and section numbers are embossed on the spines. While the printed version is reprinted every six years, legal researchers can access updates changes on the online version.
6. Code of Federal Regulations
The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is another traditional legal library now available on the internet. Conducting legal research online can save paralegals hours of time searching through printed material. The CFR contains permanent and general regulations pertaining to federal government agencies and departments. The written document contains 50 titles arranged by subject area. Paralegals can use the CFR for online legal research for cases involving federal regulations.
The CFR is updated every year by the Office of the Federal Register which belongs to the National Archives and Records Administration. An unofficial electronic version contains daily updates and makes online research more accurate then looking up laws in the printed volumes. This is just one example where the nature of digital delivery allows lawmakers to keep legal professionals up to date on emerging changes to laws and precedents.
7. Google Scholar
Google Scholar contains a number of free legal research databases paralegal students can use to complete their classwork. The sheer breadth of coverage makes this one of the most valuable legal research services. Paralegals use Google Scholar just like a regular browser.
This research tool has an impressive body of case law from all state and federal courts. Google Scholar allows users to search for opinions on US Supreme Court and state appellate court cases going back to 1950. Further, Google Scholar contains information on U.S. federal appellate, district, bankruptcy and tax courts going back to 1923. For history buffs and unusual cases, paralegals can use Google Scholar to access US Supreme Court cases as far back as 1791.
8. Find Law
Another excellent resource, FindLaw, is among the most popular legal research websites. Paralegals can access the organization’s legal research databases free. FindLaw has it comprehensive set of resources for lawyers, paralegals, law students, paralegal students and businesses. Attorneys use FindLaw to help them run state-of-the-art law practices and stay ahead of news impacting the industry.
FindLaw has a number of tools including state and federal case law and statutes, including opinions from state and federal courts. The site also offers a number of tools for small law firms that paralegals and other professionals can use to find articles on marketing and managing a law firm. Paralegals who work in a corporate setting can also refer to the site’s tools for corporate legal professionals. Marketing a law firm takes a special touch and FindLaw contains content that helps paralegals and lawyers do it effectively.
Nolo is a free legal research tool that paralegal students and professional paralegals can use to research cases. It’s one of the best legal search engines and makes it easy to find statutes and opinions in moments.
Nolo has an interesting history that begins with a company called Nolo Press in Berkeley, California. Prior to becoming a major force in legal research online, the company created do-it-yourself books for people who wanted to handle their own legal matters including drafting business partnership contracts and wills.
The free site specializes in family law, employment law, immigration and tenant-landlord issues. It also has numerous resources for estate planning such as wills and trusts, and information on intellectual property rights. The site encourages small businesses and consumers to take their legal matters into their own hands. However, paralegals can use the site to conduct research on various contracts and laws.
Justia is another one of the intuitive, widely available free legal research databases. Paralegals can use Justia’s legal research services to conduct research for their law firm or company. The site provides free case law, regulations, legal information and codes for students, businesses and lawyers around the world. Justia is a major resource for paralegals who want to use a site that specializes in information retrieval. Tim Stanley found Justia in 2003 after working for FindLaw.
The site also has paid services such as web hosting and an attorney directory. Justia has a large budget to acquire documents from the US Supreme Court and make them available for free. The history of this company reflects the competitive nature of online legal repositories.
11. Legal Information Institute
The Legal Information Institute is a reliable online legal research database. Paralegals can use this site to access legal information collected by a self-described “small team of technologists.” This is one of the lesser-known legal research databases. However, the company’s about page claims that it gets over 40 million unique hits per year.
Like many of the other free resources, LII spends a lot of time and energy acquiring legal information to publish for its users. Paralegals can take advantage of the hard work of LII’s staff by searching for cases and opinions online rather than pouring over heavy volumes in a law library.
12. RECAP Archive
RECAP Archive is a rich source of information. Unlike most other legal research websites, RECAP was started by a nonprofit agency. Paralegals can add this site to their list of legal research databases free. Since 2010, this website has supported free online legal research.
The RECAP Extensions project utilizes Chrome and Firefox extensions that open up data from federal courts in the browser. It’s compatible with PACER, making it easy for law firms to implement. For paralegals with access to the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER), it’s important to note that a number of online legal databases are compatible with this system. PACER contains more than 1 billion documents related to federal court proceedings. Authorized users can use a nationwide index to access information about federal court cases. Users can also search for information about where a case was filed.
For paralegals who want to learn more about court reporters, and federal and state judges, RECAP contains detailed databases. You can find photos of state and federal judges and pictures of various judicial seals. This is a valuable resource for students conducting research for paralegal classes.
Although it operates on a limited budget, RECAP offers a wealth of information for lawyers and paralegals conducting research for various cases.
13. Library of Congress Law
The Library of Congress is a tremendous free legal research tool. Millions of Americans access the electronic version of this American institution. Paralegals conducting free legal research will find it a great source of knowledge. Like other legal search engines, the site allows users to search using intuitive browsers.
The Library of Congress contains the largest collection of photographs, recordings, books, maps, newspapers and manuscripts in the world. Its documents are organized into collections that used to be accessible only by visiting the library in Washington DC. Today, the Library of Congress is working to digitize all of its collections. This will make accessing the information easy for anyone with internet access.
The physical building housing the library also serves as the US copyright office. The law Library of Congress is dedicated to preserving the legal records of The US Congress. There are many reasons that paralegal students might find the online documents of the Library of Congress useful.
The diverse documents and knowledge available through the LOC make it a premier resource for those conducting online legal research. Paralegal students can gain access to intellectual property and other types of case law.
GovInfo is a free tool that paralegal professionals can use for legal research online. The site is open to all users and falls under the US Government Publishing Office (GPO). Online legal research is easier and more accessible with free public access forums such as GovInfo. It allows paralegals and members of the public to research publications released by all three branches of the government.
This powerful online legal research resource contains an advanced search tool and content management system that makes it intuitive and easy to use. There are three main components of GovInfo.
First, it has a metadata creation told that enriches the search experience. Users can use the tool from their mobile devices for added convenience. Second, the site has a content management system that ensures the integrity of displayed data. Online legal research is a breeze with tools that have built-in authentication. It incorporates digital signatures that can be printed out on PDF files to prove authenticity. Third, GovInfo’s digital preservation system helps preserve original documents for future generations.
15. LawSource ALSO
LawSource offers legal research services to paralegals and other professionals. This legal research database is home to the American Law Sources On-line (ALSO!). It’s unique from other legal research databases and provides intuitive content with summaries and links to relevant information. The site covers American and Canadian law and provides commentary on legal matters at no charge.
Choosing from among the many free legal research websites can take some time and effort. However, paralegal students will be happy they put the time in to find the right legal research databases free. These free legal research databases can save users significant time and money.
None of these databases may have everything that users need to prepare for a case or complete their paralegal degree homework. However, law firms and legal professionals rely on online legal databases to save many hours of work that used to have to be done in a law library.
By cutting down on the time needed to find information, databases such as FindLaw and Nolo free up paralegals so they can spend more time on value-added analysis. This can also make their work more cost-effective for the lawyers and corporations who employ them.
Paralegals can explore all of these databases oo note the types of information available. Then, when it comes time to do the work, they will be prepared to go directly to the most fruitful resource.

Chevato: The Story of the Apache Warrior Who Captured Herman Lehmann|
Here is the oral history of the Apache warrior Chevato, who captured eleven-year-old Herman Lehmann
from his Texas homestead in May 1870. Born in Mexico, Chevato was a Lipan Apache whose parents had been killed in a massacre by Mexican troops.
He and his siblings fled across the Rio Grande and were taken in by the Mescalero Apaches of New Mexico.
Chevato became a shaman and was responsible for introducing the Lipan form of the peyote ritual to both the
Mescalero Apaches and later to the Comanches and the Kiowas. He went on to become one of the founders
of the Native American Church in Oklahoma.
The story of Chevato reveals important details regarding Lipan Apache shamanism and the origin and spread
of the type of peyote rituals practiced today in the Native American community. This book also provides a
rare glimpse into Lipan and Mescalero Apache life in the late nineteenth century, when the Lipans faced
annihilation and the Mescaleros faced the reservation.

Myths and Legends of the Lipan Apache Indians|
The myths and tales of this volume are of particular significance, perhaps, because
they have reference to a tribe about which there is almost no published ethnographic material.
The Lipan Apache were scattered and all but annihilated on the eve of the Southwestern reservation
period. The survivors found refuge with other groups, and, except for a brief notice by Gatshet,
they have been overlooked or neglected while investigations of numerically larger peoples have
proceeded. It is gratifying, therefore, to be able at this late date to present a fairly full
collection of Lipan folk-lore, and to be in a position to report that this collection does
much to illuminate the relations of Southern Athabaskan-speaking tribes
and the movements of aboriginal populations in the American Southwest.
Before the beginning of the 18th century the Lipan were already in the northern part of the present sate of Texas,
and were being forced
southward by hostile Comanche. By the middle of the 18th century we find them in south central Texas,
where the Spaniards sought to protect
them from their persistent enemies by the erection of the Mission of San Saba. Following the destruction of this mission, two others were
established to the south and west to administer to these Apache. They
met a like fate in 1767. In 1796 the Lipan are reported to have reached
the Gulf Coast in the vicinity of the lower Rio Grande. For the next
half century they lived on or in the vicinity of the coast and made a partial adjustment to that environment....

The Before Now and After Then
by Peter Monn
“Danny Goldstein has always lived in the shadow of his identical twin brother, Sam. But when a hurricane of events forces him into the spotlight, he starts to realize that the only thing he’s truly afraid of is himself. With the help of his costume changing friend Cher, a famous uncle with a mysterious past of his own, two aging punk rocker parents and Rusty, the boy who will become his something to live for, Danny begins to realize that the music of the heart is truly the soundtrack for living.”
“We’ve been talking up Peter Monn’s The Before Now and After Then for the past few months as we gear up for his release on 7-29-2014.
Today, we bring you the much anticipated cover. We elected to stick with current trends of simplistic design centered around a symbolic element from the story. In this case, an unlabeled B-Side of a mix tape. The background is a nice and vibrant green, evoking the school bag of a very important boy who becomes the narrator’s reason for living.
Every now and then a publisher comes across their dream manuscript. We knew we would find many that we loved, but we never expected our third release to be such a powerful and moving title. We truly believe that The Before Now and After Then has the power to transcend genre’s and bridge gaps that span between social stigmas and social acceptance.
This YA Novel deals with issues that begin during adolescence and often haunt people well into their adult years. However, the loveable main character, Danny Goldstein, takes a turn and in exchange, turns the tables on life by conquering himself and those that challenge him along the way.
It is extremely hard to talk about this book without giving away the farm. All we can say is to trust us and give this book a chance. We have never felt so strongly about a piece and it’s potential to be a positive force for change. We truly believe that Peter Monn has the ability to be one of the strongest voices of his generation and bring LGBT or Diverse literature across lines, past social stigma, and into the hearts of readers worldwide.
Yes, the lead character is gay. Yes, the lead character falls in love. But this is not merely a gay love story. It is a beautiful tapestry that is carefully woven, will touch your soul, inspire you to be better to those you come in contact with, stand up for those who are being held down, and reach out a helping hand to those around you. It just so happens to be a story about a boy who is struggling and along the way, finds his first love. In a boy.
Our goal is to bring you bold stories by bold authors. To push boundaries, to bring stories to life that will challenge, create, and inspire.
If there is any book that truly embodies this set of goals within its pages, it is The Before Now and After Then.
Reviews and ARC copies will be available on 7-1-2014 and we are taking review requests for this title. Furthermore, Peter Monn is available for interviews and more information about the author can be found on his website at http://petermonn.com“
You may also contact Peter directly at peter@for further information, media requests or interviews. He personally responds to each message.

De Horror Vacui
The Clocks By Agatha Christie:|
This is a 1964 attempt by Agatha Christie to, once again, get Poirot into a spy novel. But unlike the unsatisfactory The Big Four, this book uses another Agatha Christie trick that saves the day. Hercule Poirot isn't the protagonist. He shows up in three chapters, to solve the case (and certainly not just to sell novels), and the novel focuses on hsi fine young friend, Colin Lamb. Really, not something to recommend.
Strong Poison, Have His Carcase, Gaudy Night, and Busman's Honeymoon by Dorothy Sayers:
In these books Dorothy Sayers has not one, but two, Mary Sues for your reading pleasure. Obviously, the first Mary Sue is Lord Peter Death Wimsey, her extra-aristocratic super-sleuth. And the second is his love interest, Harriet Vane. The first book is the Harriet Vane cycle is loosely based on Dorothy Sayers' own scandalous affair with a foreign detective fiction writer. Only in this case, "her" lover was murdered, "she" was prosecuted, and Lord Peter has to save the day. And, it turns out to be a good read.
Usually, Dorothy Sayers' average work is better and deeper than Agatha Christie's, but not so Have His Carcase and Gaudy Night. Have His Carcase is on par with an Agatha Christie novel, but Gaudy Night is insufferable. It is long, boring, and nothing much happens. In the former, Harriet Vane stumbles upon a dead body, and she and Peter Wimsey need to solve the convoluted case. It's very readable. In the latter, the mystery is that someone is sending nasty notes to and playing practical jokes on the members of a fictional Oxford women's college (similar to the one Sayers went to). It gets so bad that one of the undergraduates tries to kill herself. That's how mean the practical joker is. It is a little like The Clocks in that the story focuses on Harriet Vane and Lord Wimsey only shows up now and again. To solve the case.
There's a reason why Tolkien, who liked Sayers' earlier work, hated Gaudy Night, and it's because it is bad.
Finally, Busman's Honeymoon saves the series by again being a good outing. In this case, Lord Peter buys a nice country cottage to live in with his new bride, Harriet Vane. They go there as a honeymoon, and someone has been kind enough to give them the best wedding present: a dead body in the cellar. It starts with a long, tense sequence filled with humor before the body is found, and the investigators only half-heartedly do their investigation for obvious reasons. Only the ending is spoiled by several chapters discussing how Peter Wimsey acts after he solves a case, which are dull.

An increasing number of qualitative and quantitative research papers in health economics and genomics have been published in recent years. To keep track of these publications, and to have a useful summary of available publications at hand, researchers at HERC have set up a database of health economics and genomics studies. I have helped to set up this database, as has Sarah Wordsworth, but a first-year PhD student, Patrick Fahr, has undertaken most of the hard work and should receive the lion’s share of the credit!
Briefly, the publications included in this database were identified using a scoping review. This review did not address a specific research question, nor did it encompass the quality assessment of selected papers. Each of the included papers has been categorised by “Type” of publication. We distinguish between papers that focus on methods, (systematic) reviews, economic evaluations, other applied works, and commentaries. In addition, authors that have been particularly active in the field of health economics and genomics are integrated into the database in a way that simplifies the search for author-specific publications (the profile and affiliation of each author can be found at the bottom of the table).
In total the database includes 413 publications from 56+ authors. You can read more about the database and download version 1.0 here. If you use this database as a data source for a published paper or report, please cite the database as follows:
Fahr P, Buchanan J, Wordsworth S. 2018. HERC database of health economics and genomics studies, Version 1.0 (Last updated 30.04.2018). Available at www.herc.ox.ac.uk
As the included papers were identified using a scoping review, the database may not include every paper in health economics and genomics. If a relevant paper is missing from the database, please do pass this information on to Patrick Fahr (firstname.lastname@example.org). The current version (1.0) is based on a search conducted in April 2018 and the database will be updated quarterly.


My Name is Catherine DeRoos, wife of Les DeRoos, Jr. and full-time missionary. I have a passion for learning about nutrition and sharing what I learn. Here is my journey into holistic health.
My Journey to Holistic Health
When Les & I began praying about our entering the mission field again in 2001, I desired to compliment his agricultural ministry. What better way to serve beside my husband with the two-handed gospel message than to share the benefits of fruits and vegetables that he would be helping people grow. An acquaintance of mine had been reading a book called “Back to the Garden” by Rev. Malkmus with Hallelujah Acres, and she introduced the book to me during one of our conversations. It was while I was reading this book, that I became motivated in learning more. At that time, Hallelujah Acres was offering on-line classes of which I could not afford. However, I took the list of books they required for their course and went to the library. I began studying Enzyme Nutrition along with many other titles and took lots of notes.
Les and I began our second missionary journey in Nigeria in 2004 where I put together teaching material for our FAAGRIC program. This material included a text-book style manual/workbook including the physiological nutrition information I had learned, with the agricultural information, and incorporated many scriptural references that went with each of the lessons. To take a look at The FAAGRIC manual visit our LWC website and click on our publications page. There you will find a link to our manual.
It is my desire to bring awareness to as many people as I can the message from Benjamin Franklin — ‘An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.’ I also greatly respect the advice of Hippocrates, the father of all medicine — “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
If you desire to live a vibrant, colorful, healthy life, I invite you to join me in encouraging others as well. You can do this by participating in voting on your favorite recipes, sharing the posts you see here, even sharing how “Eating the Rainbow” has colored your life with health.
I hope you enjoy your time here. May the Lord guide and direct you in your health journey.

Connson tackles the age-old question of whether leaders are born or made.
In this book chapter, written with Laura Kray and Michael Haselhuhn, Connson and her co-authors explored the effect of gender stereotypes on negotiation ability. They found that negative stereotypes can sometimes boost performance in the stereotyped group, especially when negotiators believed that negotiation skills can be learned.
In this research article, published in Harvard’s Negotiation Journal and written with Laura Kray, Connson and her co-author examined negotiators’ beliefs about flirtation and the effects of flirtation on impression formation. Women who flirted in a negotiation were deemed more likable – but were also judged to be less authentic.
