The big ecclesiastical news of the past month is that Pope Benedict intends to make it easy for Anglicans to come into full communion with the Church.
Entire Anglican parishes–even dioceses–will be able to unite fully with the Pope while retaining some distinctive Anglican practices.
Which brings us to the Book of Common Prayer, the Anglican liturgical prayerbook.
This book was a companion of mine for years, before my reception into the R.C. Church in 1993.
The Book of Common Prayer book was originally published by the Protestant bishops in England in 1549. It has undergone a number of revisions. Different Anglicans use different editions.
The Preface to the edition published by the Episcopal bishops in the new United States in 1789 concludes with an exhortation about the use of the prayerbook:
It is hoped that [this book] will be received and examined by every true member of our Church, and every sincere Christian, with a meek, candid, and charitable frame of mind; without prejudice or prepossessions; seriously considering what Christianity is, and what the truths of the Gospel are; and earnestly beseeching Almighty God to accompany with his blessing every endeavor for promulgating them to mankind in the clearest, plainest, most affecting and majestic manner, for the sake of Jesus Christ, our blessed Lord and Savior.
Granted, this is a thoroughly edifying sentence. But the book contains errors.
The book features only two of the seven sacraments. The prayers in this book do not honor the Blessed Virgin or any of the saints, and the rules prohibit praying for the souls in Purgatory.
The book does not include prayers for the Pope.
The book systematically refuses to express that the Holy Mass is the sacrifice of Christ and that He is truly present–Body, Blood, soul, and divinity–in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar. The book requires that the chalice be offered to the people.
The Church embraces many styles of ceremony for the celebration of Her faith. But there is only ONE faith, the Catholic faith.
The faith is expressed in the teaching of the Popes and Councils, including the Council of Trent. Parts of the Book of Common Prayer were originally published precisely to contradict the teachings of the Council of Trent.
The Book of Common Prayer was edited for use as a Catholic liturgical prayerbook in 2003. The errors of doctrine were fixed. The revised book is called the “Book of Divine Worship” (this link takes a long time to load).
Apparently, a few Anglican-use Catholic parishes already use this revised prayerbook. Perhaps this version will be the book used in all Anglican-use churches.
…Last Sunday I published a silly little sermon about miracles. I tried explain that the Lord Jesus worked miracles not for the sake of working miracles, but for the sake of communicating the mystery of the Kingdom of God. In other words, His miracles were signs, as St. John called them in his gospel.
Anyway: St. Augustine explains this much better in the first part of his Sermon 98…
Tough loss for the Caps this evening. Bad news: After a fisticuffs, Ovechkin left the ice with an undisclosed “upper body” injury.

Faith, Doubt, and Other Lines I've Crossed: Walking with the Unknown God Coming Soon
In FAITH, DOUBT, AND OTHER LINES I'VE CROSSED, Jay voices the questions that Christians are thinking but won't ask as he chronicles his doubt about God, the Bible, heaven and hell, church, society, relationships, grace, and love. In the process he encourages all of us to welcome "the other", to read the Bible differently but better, to draw together in community, and to seek an unknown God of limitless grace.
Brutally honest but full of grace, Jay invites everyone to cross the line, to dig deeper, and to discover a faith that is beyond belief.


Chuck Schumer Blasts ‘Downright Orwellian’ School Book Bans
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday denounced the growing wave of school book bans as “deeply disturbing and downright Orwellian.”
“These modern-day efforts from the far right to ban hundreds of books from the top down are dangerous — patently un-American,” Schumer said in a speech on the Senate floor.
“This right-wing cancel culture should be resoundingly condemned,” he added, borrowing a term that Republicans frequently rail against.
Conservatives are targeting school libraries in what experts are calling a historic and concerted book banning effort, censoring materials dealing with race, sexuality and gender from schools.
That includes “Maus,” a Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel about the horrors of the Holocaust, with Jews depicted as mice and Nazis as cats. A Tennessee school board voted unanimously this month to ban the book from its eighth-grade curriculum, citing “objectionable language” and nudity.
Parents and school boards in Texas and other Republican-controlled states have called for the removal of dozens of other books dealing with themes they have declared offensive.
“Why are we sexualizing our precious children?” one Texas parent said at a school board meeting in November after she spoke out against books about LGBTQ relationships and their impact on children.
A Republican mayor in Mississippi withheld funds from his city’s library until it removed what he called “homosexual material” from its shelves.
“Sexual connotations are not appropriate for children when they enter the library,” the mayor explained.
When asked about the matter on Wednesday, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said decisions about literature in schools are usually decided at the local level.
“As a general rule, I don’t favor banning age-appropriate and subject-appropriate books for children,” Cornyn said. “They need to hear a diversity of views. I think [Supreme Court Justice Louis] Brandeis said it best: The best solution to erroneous information is more information.”
Schumer defended the censored literature as “vital” to society because it can “expand people’s understanding of the world around us.”
“We don’t need to look that far into history to see what happens when we go down the dangerous road of censorship and suppression, when free expression is weakened ― the mob is empowered,” Schumer said. “The groundwork is laid for further discrimination, intimidation and, God forbid, increased violence.”


A Brief History of the BVI
From St. Ursula and Christopher Columbus to the emancipation of slaves, the sugar trade and the growth of the economy and the arts, the BVI has always been historically influenced.
The BVI invariably conjures thoughts of sun, sea and sand. Stunning visual landscapes, the feel of soft sand between the toes and the smell of scented tropical flowers are all part of the experience here. But there is much more to these islands. Let’s dig into the history and culture to understand what makes these islands special.
The Past The first settlers arrived in dugout canoes paddling up the island chain from South America. They were seafaring people who depended on the resources of the sea and of the islands they visited.
The first European to set foot on these islands was Christopher Columbus in 1493. In the tradition of explorers, he named the islands after St. Ursula and her martyred virgins.
Soon after, Europeans descended on the Caribbean in search of gold and treasure. The European powers vied for their share of resources and territory. They claimed the islands as they visited them.
Before long, naval battles erupted throughout the region as the powers sought to hold their claims. The Dutch first settled in these islands in the 1600s and ushered in a period of transition to agriculture. Ownership of islands changed frequently during this period, and permanent settlements were difficult. Eventually the British gained control of the island.
Whilst gold and silver were not found in the BVI, conditions were favourable for sugar cane production. Thus began the plantation era and the importation of slave labour from Africa.
Slavery officially ended in 1834, and the impoverished, newly freed population lacked the resources to build their economy. More than a century of poverty followed.
In the second half of the 20th century, a few far-sighted individuals helped guide the development of the tourism and financial services sectors. These are now the backbone of the economy and have propelled the Territory to the modern era.


How many people have dreamed about sailing away and leaving it all behind? Here’s how it happened. ‘Quest and Crew’ is the first book of a four book series. It begins twenty-four hours before a Category 5 hurricane devastates the south shore of Grenada. It’s a story about the many twists and turns that life can take. The sailboat Quest begins her new life with a full retrofit in North Carolina, followed by Quest’s launch in North Florida two years later. The job of becoming real sailors begins in North Palm Beach. On a clear starry night, we left South Florida on a hope enveloped by a dream. Finding ourselves only at the beginning of a new adventure, we set sail and anchored one island at a time through the Bahamas. The Caribbean is a few books away. Here is a glimpse into the powerful attraction of sailboats and sapphire water. ‘Quest and Crew’ is all about the joy of success as well as what it takes to overcome the occasional disaster. From beginning to end, the book is about transforming a rookie crew and beautiful old boat into a sailing adventure. Come for the hurricane, stay for the story.

According to new research, when gecko’s lose their tails, they also lose some of the energy they need to get away from predators.
An international team of researchers published an article in Physiological and Biochemical Zoology.
The article explained that whilst dropping it’s tail may help the gecko to escape, it also caused it to lose energy.

Good news, Scientists from our faculty belonging to EXTEMIT-K and EVA projects join hands and contribute four chapters in the upcoming book from Springer Nature (ISBN 978-981-15-2467-7; https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9789811524660 ).
“This book offers a comprehensive guide to the strategies that plants employ against insects and other pests to ensure their continued survival. Addressing an important gap in the literature, it shares the latest findings in the field of plant–pest interactions for a broad audience. Providing an overview of the current state of knowledge on plant-pest interactions and their role in the genetic improvement of crops, it offers an essential guide for researchers and professionals in the fields of agriculture, plant pathology, entomology, cell biology, molecular biology and genetics “– Source Springer web (www.springer.com ).
The chapters written by our scientists are on wide-ranging aspects of plant-insect interactions such as the role of plant volatiles in plant-insect interaction, microbial contribution in plant-insect interaction dynamics, the potential of plant insecticidal protein in insect pest management and role of plant secondary metabolites against pest insects.
One of the principal authors in all those chapters, Dr Amit Roy (EXTEMIT-K), has mentioned that
“Once a scientist gathers experience for more than a decade in any field of research, it is the time for him or her to initiate paying back to society. It is our humble effort to that direction. The book will be online in the next two months. I hope people from plant-insect interaction fraternity, students and enthusiastic novices from all fields will enjoy reading our chapters.”


Research paper is a task of mind and attention. The work done with proper concentration and proper attention would be perfect but still there are some steps that you would need to follow.
Proper concentration will lead you to the perfect writing and proper attention will help you to do your work with high accuracy. The perfect way of concentration and attention is the most important thing to get perfect result. So, here I am sharing with you some useful tips that will help you in finalizing your research paper with full quality.
1- It is not a task of hurry. Take enough time for your work without any hurry. The research paper length should be at least 10-20 pages and it should not be done in a single day. Take a time of month or at least of a week for accomplishment of your research papers.
2- Go to the libraries and write your required notes, outlines and other necessary points of your research papers and then write your first draft.
3- Try to make your schedule flexible and try working on your research papers in the mornings. The night schedule for this task is not a good idea.
4- Most importantly, you should have a proper thesis statement to start your research.
5- Keep your writing style simple and try to make it as elegant as you can.
6- Make sure that your research idea would work the way you have expected. You can ask for the advice of your seniors. Most importantly, make sure that you have or you can get all the required stuff or information about specific topic. This is the most important part that will play a significant role in the finalization and success of your Research papers.
7- You can talk to your familiarized librarian about the information and he can locate you to the specific materials. This will save your time and will give you ease in handling deadline oriented Research paper tasks.
These are the simplest but most valuable tips for custom research paper writing and this will definitely make your Research papers as qualitative as you wish!


Enroll your child today to receive a free book each month!
PPEC serves as an affiliate for Van Wert County children to receive a free book each month from the Ohio Governor’s Imagination Library/Dolly Parton Imagination Library. Children from birth to age five can enroll to receive books and jump-start their development, imagination, and love for reading. After enrollment, children will begin receiving a new book each month, at no cost to their family, until they reach the age of five.
“I am thrilled that Paulding Putnam Electric Cooperative will be administering the Imagination Library in Van Wert County,” said Ohio First Lady Fran DeWine in a news conference on Sept. 10, 2020. “We’ve continued to expand the Imagination Library statewide because we know the program works. Young children are excited to receive the book each month in the mail, which is addressed to them. And just having these books in the home promotes a love of learning and family bonding that we know adds up to preparing children for kindergarten. I encourage all families in Van Wert County to sign up their children for these free books.”
George Carter, CEO of Paulding-based Paulding Putnam Electric Cooperative, echoed DeWine’s sentiments. “Paulding Putnam Electric Cooperative has been ingrained in the northwest Ohio community since 1935. We’re happy to expand our service to the community by sponsoring the governor’s Van Wert County program.”
Research has shown that book ownership can be a predictor of future academic success. Studies have found that children with just 25 books in their home were more likely to complete an additional two years of education. Inspired by Ohio First Lady Fran DeWine’s passion for early childhood literacy, the Ohio Governor’s Imagination Library is a partnership with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to ensure that children enter the classroom ready to succeed.
The Ohio Governor’s Imagination Library is working to ensure that children in all 88 Ohio counties can enroll in Ohio Governor’s Imagination Library in 2020, by providing a dollar-for-dollar funding match with each county that opens OGIL to its residents. The Ohio General Assembly committed $5 million to OGIL in the state fiscal year 2020-2021 budget.
PPEC’s program is for children of Van Wert County residents only. However, other counties have affiliates as well. To sign up or see if your county offers the program, visit OhioImaginationLibrary.org.

“Dream It, Own It” Introduces the Complete Method to Imagine and Realize the ‘Dream Home’
(January 12, 2018) – Home is where the heart is, but many find it a challenge to visualize and actually own a home that resembles just the home one dreamt of. A new guide, “Dream It, Own It” by Patries Ramkaran now introduces the world to a well-researched and logical method to make the process seamless and perfect, down to the last details.
A home is ‘a place to become yourself’, said Theo Pelletier. “Dream It, Own It” is a guided journal to owning one’s dream home and reaching one’s full potential. The guide, a product of hard research work, takes the reader on a journey, and offers tools, methods and how-to tips to find the home of one’s dreams. The book includes chapters on sizing, home floor finishes, ceilings, choosing the best location, tips for reducing costs, along with check lists, pictures, activities and blank spaces to ideate, as well as a skeletal framework on the logical stages involved in choosing the perfect home.
“Many people find it a challenge to figure out the ‘how’ of choosing their dream home, while some try to reshape their dream home into what they consider more realistic. Even home checklists can fail as users do not let their true desires come to the surface. Dream now, and I will show you how to make it all come to reality!” says Patries Ramkaran.
Among other things, “Dream It, Own It” introduces the readers to a novel and power method to realize their dream home. The method is visualization, and gives us the power to activate the creative subconscious mind, giving rise to creative ideas. The images created elicit a response from us and help us to take action and achieve the desired results. “Dream It, Own It” is a guide and reference point that answers all the common questions, challenges and doubts that home seekers face all over the world. “Let your imagination be your guide. Be the architect of your imagination! Permit me to take you on this beautiful ride and watch as we explore the stages involved – the design, the sketch, construction, authority approval, and cost estimates. We’ll even touch on details of each room – the colors, the design, ceiling design, floor finishes, and even the size,” says Patries.
Patries Ramkaran is a building and construction professional with experience spanning over a decade. Currently, she is the Managing Director at Ramkaran Contracting Services Limited, where she caters to the development of the business in line with its stated vision and mission. She is educated up to Master of Business Administration level and she just recently received her MBA in Entrepreneurial Management from the Australian Institute of Business.


Being a counterfeit edition of the authentic volume on Logic pertaining to the Coimbra Jesuit Aristotelian Course, the two volumes of the Collegii Conimbricensis Societatis Iesu Commentarii doctissimi In Universam Logicam Aristotelis, nunc primum editi, Tomus Primus-Tomus Alter, was published by the Froeben Publisher (ex Bibliopolio Frobeniano), in 1604, i.e. two years before the publication of Sebastião do Couto’s genuine volume. The authorship of this so-called Logica/Dialectica Furtiva (an evident reference to Franco Furti oppidum where it was supposed the volume had been really published) is discussed. After a comparison of manuscripts from Lisbon and Évora, Friedrich Stegmuller concluded that the volume reproduced Gaspar Coelho’s lessons at the Jesuit University of Évora in 1584; moreover, Gaspar Coelho himself (not to be mistaken with his homonymous who was Superior and Vice-Provincial of the mission in Japan) was profiting from the lessons dictated by Francisco Cardoso (1547-1604) in 1571 in Coimbra. It can be recalled that in the first volume of the Coimbra Jesuit Aristotelian Course, Pedro da Fonseca alluded to such an exchange of teaching “common manuscripts”. It is likely that when he left the Society of Jesus, Gaspar Coelho sold the text to the Froeben Editors. It should be noticed that 1571, the year of Cardoso’s Coimbra lessons, almost coincides with the “thirty years” mentioned by Sebastião do Couto, in his approved Coimbra Dialectica (Ad Lectorem), in a reference to the Dialectica Furtiva, “written by someone in a so far disturbed century”. Published, obviously without the necessary licenses, the volume begins with a Preface to the Reader (Ad Lectorem) that affirms the importance of Logic to the sciences (Theology, Law, Medicine, Mathematics, Rhetoric), mentions the Coimbra origin of the book (fecit Collegium Conimbricense) and states, anonymously, that as soon as the commentary was known, a so great treasure could not but be immediately published. The first tome has 269 pages of commentary and ends with the De Interpretatione, the second one has 356 pages, begins with the Prior Analytics and ends with the first book on the Sophistical Refutations. It should be underlined that the Dialectica Furtiva and the Dialectica Conimbricensis give us two different stages of the Logic, as taught in Coimbra, by the Jesuits, separated by at least thirty years.

Let’s jump straight in. Here are my favourite nonfiction books of 2015:
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes: And Other Lessons From The Crematory
What you’ll need: the Internet.
If you are anything like me and find death a bit fascinating, then this book by young spunky mortician Caitlin Doughty about her first job at a crematorium is for you. She also has a great array of online videos, covering topics such as Advanced Directives, the difference between coffins and caskets, and the worst ways to die. Brilliant!
The Opposite of Loneliness
Whenever you read a piece from this collection, remember that Marina Keegan was an undergraduate student when she wrote them and be amazed by her precocious talent. Then remember that five days after her graduation she was killed in a car accident and these are the only pieces of hers we will ever have. Even though it’s been nearly a year since I had the pleasure of reading this book, I still can’t escape these thoughts.
Note: this collection features both fiction and non-fiction pieces.
The Anti-Cool Girl
What you’ll need: Rosie’s Bachelor/ette recaps.
How Rosie Waterland has managed to craft a book that is both hilarious and devastating is beyond me. She is just such a talent, and deserves all the praise she is receiving. If you finish the book and instantly want more of Rosie (like I did), I suggest recapping the Bachelor/ette recaps; the piece about David the ‘international model’ getting evicted might just be the funniest thing I have read all year.
This is a must read for anyone who has ever been to an all girls school / boarding school, or for anyone who just wants a reminder of how painfully awkward adolescence can be (Alice Pung’s YA novel Laurinda also covers this topic really well).
Also, if you haven’t already, you should check out Rebecca and Hannah Kent’s literary journal Kill Your Darlings. I think it’s probably the most enjoyable Australian journal out there (I save reading it for my hairdressing appointments and it helps the time whizz by!)
Holding the Man
What you’ll need: Tissues. Many many tissues.
Don’t be fooled by its sexy start. This book about two gay men growing up at the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic made me cry more than anything I have read in a very long time. The film adaptation that came out this year is also worth checking out.
So You’ve Been Publically Shamed
What you’ll need: This American Life.
Jon Ronson explores public shaming in the modern world and makes it seriously gripping. I particularly loved the part where he investigates the truth behind the Stanford Prison experiments. It’s also worth listening to him on the podcast This American Life; he does some excellent stories and in Episode 314 (It’s Never Over) I’m pretty sure he describes an incident alluded to in SYBPS.
A Curious Career
Once you get past the fact that celebrity interviewer Lynn Barber thinks quite a lot of herself, this book is great fun. Her frank and ferocious interviews provide a great deal of schadenfreude: half the time I was thinking to myself ‘thank fuck she’ll never interview me’.
On a related note, the adaptation of her book An Education starring Carey Mulligan is excellent.
H is for Hawk
I’m normally not that keen on books that focus mainly on nature or landscape (people’s stories are what keep me going), but Helen Macdonald’s memoir about grief and goshawk training was captivating. Her writing is so beautiful that she could literally write about anything and I’d be hooked. My favourite line: ‘hands are for other human hands to hold’. I can see why this book took out the Costa Book of the Year Award- it’s a triumph!
In Love And War: Nursing Heroes
I first came across the work of pioneering burns surgeon Archibald McIndoe whilst watching Michael Mosley’s Blood and Guts: a History of Surgery. Keen to learn more, I was very pleased when I got my hands on Liz Byrski’s book, and it did not disappoint. Combining autobiography with interviews from McIndoe’s ‘Guinea Pigs’ and (most appealingly) the inspiring nurses who looked after them, I think this well-written book would appeal to anyone who enjoys learning about medicine and/or the role of women in World War Two.
This book was so much better than I thought it was going to be. Now whenever I’m going for a long walk (long for me being Murdoch Station to Fiona Stanley Hospital), I find myself pretending to be Cheryl. Thinking about her makes me grateful that while the walk is ‘long’ at least my toenails haven’t started falling off and my shoes haven’t rolled down a cliff!
If you become a fan girl like I have, I also recommend reading Tiny Beautiful Things and listening to the Dear Sugar podcast. Cheryl always gives the most perfect advice.
I’d love to hear about your favourite books of the year. Please comment below or contact me via Facebook / Twitter / text / tell me to my face.

The Great Gatsby is a novel by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald. The story takes place in 1922, during the Roaring Twenties, a time of prosperity in the United States after World War I. The book received critical acclaim and is generally considered Fitzgerald's best work. It is also widely regarded as a "Great American Novel" and a literary classic, capturing the essence of an era. The Modern Library named it the second best English language novel of the 20th century.
With The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald made a conscious departure from the writing process of his previous novels. He started planning it in June 1922, after completing his play The Vegetable and began composing The Great Gatsby in 1923. He ended up discarding most of it as a false start, some of which resurfaced in the story "Absolution". Unlike his previous works, Fitzgerald intended to edit and reshape Gatsby thoroughly, believing that it held the potential to launch him toward literary acclaim. He told his editor Maxwell Perkins that the novel was a "consciously artistic achievement" and a "purely creative work — not trashy imaginings as in my stories but the sustained imagination of a sincere and yet radiant world". He added later, during editing, that he felt "an enormous power in me now, more than I've ever had".
After the birth of their child, the Fitzgeralds moved to Great Neck, Long Island in October 1922, a setting used as the scene for The Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald's neighbors in Great Neck included such prominent and newly wealthy New Yorkers as writer Ring Lardner, actor Lew Fields and comedian Ed Wynn. These figures were all considered to be 'new money', unlike those who came from Manhasset Neck or Cow Neck Peninsula, places which were home to many of New York's wealthiest established families, and which sat across a bay from Great Neck. This real-life juxtaposition gave Fitzgerald his idea for "West Egg" and "East Egg." In this novel, Great Neck became the new-money peninsula of "West Egg" and Manhasset the old-money peninsula of "East Egg".
Progress on the novel was slow. In May 1923, the Fitzgeralds moved to the French Riviera, where the novel was finished. In November 1923 he sent the draft to his editor Maxwell Perkins and his agent Harold Ober. The Fitzgeralds then moved to Rome for the winter. Fitzgerald made revisions through the winter after Perkins informed him that the novel was too vague and Gatsby's biographical section too long. Content after a few rounds of revision, Fitzgerald returned the final batch of revised galleys in the middle of February 1925.
The cover of The Great Gatsby is among the most celebrated pieces of art in American literature. It depicts disembodied eyes and a mouth over a blue skyline, with the image of a naked woman reflected in the irises. A little-known artist named Francis Cugat was commissioned to illustrate the book while Fitzgerald was in the midst of writing it. The cover was completed before the novel, with Fitzgerald so enamored of it that he told his publisher he had "written it into" the novel.
Fitzgerald's remarks about incorporating the painting into the novel led to the interpretation that the eyes are reminiscent of those of Dr. T. J. Eckleburg (the novel's erstwhile optometrist on a faded commercial billboard near George Wilson's auto repair shop) which Fitzgerald described as "blue and gigantic — their retinas are one yard high. They look out of no face, but instead, from a pair of enormous yellow spectacles which pass over a non-existent nose." Although this passage has some resemblance to the painting, a closer explanation can be found in the description of Daisy Buchanan as the "girl whose disembodied face floated along the dark cornices and blinding signs".
Ernest Hemingway recorded in A Moveable Feast that when Fitzgerald lent him a copy of The Great Gatsby to read, he immediately disliked the cover, but "Scott told me not to be put off by it, that it had to do with a billboard along a highway in Long Island that was important in the story. He said he had liked the jacket and now he didn't like it."
Fitzgerald was ambivalent about the title, making it hard for him to choose. The title may have originally been borrowed from Alain-Fournier's Le Grand Meaulnes, a novel he admired. He entertained many choices before settling on The Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald shifted between Gatsby; Among Ash-Heaps and Millionaires; Trimalchio; Trimalchio in West Egg; On the Road to West Egg; Under the Red, White, and Blue; Gold-Hatted Gatsby and The High-Bouncing Lover. Initially, he preferred Trimalchio, after the crude parvenu in Petronius's Satyricon. Unlike Fitzgerald's protagonist, Trimalchio participated in the audacious and libidinous orgies that he hosted. That Fitzgerald refers to Gatsby by the proposed title once in the novel reinforces the view that it would have been a misnomer. As Tony Tanner observed, there are subtle similarities between the two. A notable difference between Trimalchio and The Great Gatsby is a less complete failure of Gatsby's dream in Trimalchio. In Trimalchio, the argument between Tom Buchanan and Jay Gatsby is much more even, although Tom still wins in that Daisy returns to him.
On November 7, 1924, Fitzgerald wrote to Perkins. — "I have now decided to stick to the title I put on the book Trimalchio in West Egg" but was eventually persuaded that the reference was too obscure and that people would not be able to pronounce it. His wife and Perkins both expressed their preference for The Great Gatsby and the next month Fitzgerald agreed. A month before publication, after a final review of the proofs, he asked if it would be possible to re-title it Trimalchio or Gold-Hatted Gatsby but Perkins advised against it. On March 19, Fitzgerald asked if the book could be renamed Under the Red, White and Blue but it was at that stage too late to change. The Great Gatsby was published on April 10, 1925. Fitzgerald remarked that "the title is only fair, rather bad than good".
The main events of the novel take place in the summer of 1922, narrated by Nicholas "Nick" Carraway, a Yale graduate and World War I veteran from the Midwest who takes a job in New York City as a bond salesman. He rents a small house on Long Island, in the (fictional) village of West Egg, next door to the lavish mansion of Jay Gatsby, a mysterious millionaire who holds extravagant parties.
Across the bay, Nick's second cousin Daisy lives with Tom Buchanan, her old-money husband who attended Yale at the same time as Nick. The Buchanans ask Nick to dinner at their home, where they introduce him to Jordan Baker, a well-known but emotionally evasive golfer whom Nick finds attractive, despite her unscrupulous sporting record. The atmosphere of the dinner is spoiled when Tom answers a telephone call that Jordan suggests is from his mistress, Myrtle Wilson.
Myrtle is the discontented wife of George Wilson, who owns an unsuccessful garage in the "Valley of Ashes" on the outskirts of New York City. One day, Tom takes Nick privately to a flat in Manhattan where they rendezvous with Myrtle and have a small party, but Tom again ruins the occasion, this time by breaking Myrtle's nose following an argument regarding whether Myrtle should be allowed to speak Daisy's name.
Nick eventually gets an invitation to one of Gatsby's huge parties next door, where he soon spots Jordan. Most guests seem to be uninvited and do not know their host, who keeps himself aloof; however, Nick is coincidentally recognized by Gatsby from their division in the war and the two instantly become friends. For the remainder of the novel, Nick revels in the enigma of Gatsby's larger-than-life persona, accentuated by a lunch in Manhattan shared between Gatsby, Nick and Gatsby's business associate, a notorious Jewish gangster called Meyer Wolfsheim.
Later, Jordan reveals that in 1917, Gatsby, originating from a penniless Midwestern family, had courted Daisy and hoped to marry her, but was sent to Europe to fight during the war, briefly studying at Trinity College, Oxford, during which time Daisy married Tom. Gatsby's goals are now made clear: he has reinvented himself, become rich through self-made efforts, bought a house near Daisy, and thrown his enormous parties in the hope that she would, by chance, find her way there one night. Jordan, whom Nick casually begins dating, now asks Nick on Gatsby's behalf to arrange a reunion between Gatsby and Daisy. Nick agrees to have both Gatsby and Daisy to tea.
Although the reunion is initially awkward, Daisy, who is unhappy with Tom, appears ready to revive her relationship with Gatsby. Daisy and Gatsby soon rekindle their affair, and Daisy ultimately asks Gatsby, Jordan, and Nick to a lunch date at her house, while Tom is present. At the lunch, Daisy suggests that they all go into Manhattan, and Tom, who is clearly suspicious of Gatsby, gets into Gatsby's yellow car with Jordan and Nick, while he encourages Daisy and Gatsby to follow in Tom's own car. At Wilson's garage, Tom stops to fill the car and an unhappy Wilson reveals that he knows Myrtle has a secret lover. Although Wilson does not know who the lover is, he has temporarily locked Myrtle in their home above the garage.
Gatsby, Daisy, Tom, Jordan, and Nick continue onward to the Plaza Hotel, where Tom angrily confronts Gatsby about his relationship with Daisy and his alleged criminal activities. Gatsby and Tom argue in front of the whole group, Gatsby telling Daisy to come with him, her first love, and to deny that she ever loved Tom. She avoids both men's appeals and, overwrought, begs to go home. By the end of the altercation, Tom, believing himself victorious and therefore assuming that Gatsby is no longer a threat, scornfully orders Daisy and Gatsby to shamefully go home in the same car. The two leave, taking Gatsby's yellow roadster. Nick suddenly remembers that it is his birthday and he is now thirty years old. He, Tom, and Jordan then ride off in Tom's coupé.
Meanwhile, as Daisy and Gatsby race past Wilson's garage, a frenzied Myrtle, who has just been let loose by her husband, recognizes the yellow roadster and runs into the road, where the car strikes and kills her. Daisy panics, Gatsby takes the wheel, and they quickly drive on, but Tom soon arrives with the other two and discovers Myrtle's corpse. Back home, Tom and Daisy achieve a reconciliation, pack up, and hastily leave town. Gatsby later tells Nick that Daisy was the driver responsible for Myrtle's death, but that he is prepared to take the blame for her. Nick advises Gatsby to flee, but Gatsby refuses. He finally straightens out some facts about his life story to Nick and how he—born James Gatz—came to assume the name Jay Gatsby.
The next day, Tom tells a distraught Wilson that Gatsby was the driver on the night of the accident, leading Wilson to believe it was Gatsby with whom Myrtle was having an affair. Wilson tracks down Gatsby's address and arrives at the mansion to find Gatsby relaxing on a mattress in his pool; Wilson shoots Gatsby dead and then turns the gun on himself. Flustered by his friend's sudden death, Nick arranges Gatsby's funeral, which is attended only by Nick, Gatsby's elderly father, and a single former party guest who Nick never got to know. Nick is disgusted by the small turnout at the funeral.
Nick runs into Tom on the street and later meets up with Jordan, openly revealing his dissatisfaction with both. Nick effectively ends all of his relationships in New York and decides to give up his job and his house. He resolves to return to the Midwest, acknowledging that the five main characters of the novel—Gatsby, Tom, Daisy, Jordan and himself—were all westerners who, in some fundamental way, failed to adapt to the standards of the East.
Nicholas "Nick" Carraway (narrator) — a man from the Midwest, a Yale graduate, a World War I veteran, and a newly-arrived resident of West Egg. He is Gatsby's next-door neighbor and a bond salesman. Easygoing though occasionally sarcastic and initially optimistic, though this latter quality fades as the novel progresses.
Jay Gatsby (originally James Gatz) — a young, mysterious millionaire with shady business connections (later revealed to be a bootlegger), originally from North Dakota. He is obsessed with Daisy Buchanan, whom he had met when he was a young officer stationed in the South during World War I. The character is based on the bootlegger and former World War I officer Max Gerlach, according to Some Sort of Epic Grandeur, Matthew J Bruccoli's biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald. Gatsby is said to have briefly studied at Trinity College, Oxford in England after the end of World War I.
Daisy Buchanan née Fay — an attractive and effervescent, if shallow and self-absorbed, young woman, identified as a flapper. She is Nick's second cousin, once removed; and the wife of Tom Buchanan. Daisy is believed to have been inspired by Fitzgerald's own youthful romances with Ginevra King. Daisy once had a romantic relationship with Gatsby, before she married Tom. Her choice between Gatsby and Tom is one of the central conflicts in the novel.
Tom Buchanan — a millionaire who lives on East Egg, and Daisy's husband. Tom is an imposing man of muscular build with a "husky tenor" voice and arrogant demeanor, a former football star at Yale. Buchanan has parallels with William Mitchell, the Chicagoan who married Ginevra King. Buchanan and Mitchell were both Chicagoans with an interest in polo. Like Ginevra's father, whom Fitzgerald resented, Buchanan attended Yale and is a white supremacist.
Jordan Baker — Daisy Buchanan's long-time friend with "autumn-leaf yellow hair," a firm athletic body, and an aloof attitude. She is Nick Carraway's girlfriend for most of the novel and a professional golfer with a slightly shady reputation and a penchant for untruthfulness. Fitzgerald told Maxwell Perkins that Jordan was based on the golfer Edith Cummings, a friend of Ginevra King. Her name is a play on the two then-popular automobile brands, the Jordan Motor Car Company and the Baker Motor Vehicle, alluding to Jordan's "fast" reputation and the freedom now presented to Americans, especially women, in the 1920s.
George B. Wilson — a mechanic and owner of a garage. Both Tom Buchanan and his own wife, Myrtle Wilson, the former of whom describes him as "so dumb he doesn't know he's alive," dislike Wilson. When he learns of the death of his wife, he shoots and kills Gatsby, wrongly believing he had been driving the car that killed Myrtle, and then kills himself.
Myrtle Wilson — George's wife, and Tom Buchanan's mistress. She is accidentally killed after being hit by a car driven by Daisy, though Gatsby takes the blame for it.
Meyer Wolfsheim — a Jewish man Gatsby describes as a gangster/gambler who had fixed the World Series. Wolfsheim is a clear allusion to Arnold Rothstein, a New York crime kingpin who was notoriously blamed for the Black Sox Scandal which tainted the 1919 World Series.
Catherine — Myrtle Wilson's sister.
Chester and Lucille McKee — Myrtle's New York friends.
"Owl-eyes" — a drunken party-goer whom Nick meets in Gatsby's library. One of the only three characters in the novel to attend Gatsby's funeral, he represents the Lost Generation itself.
Ewing "The Boarder" Klipspringer — a sponger who virtually lives at Gatsby's mansion.
Pammy Buchanan — the Buchanans' three-year-old daughter.
Henry C. Gatz — Gatsby's somewhat estranged father in North Dakota. One of the only characters in the book to attend Gatsby's funeral.
Mr. and Mrs. Sloane — a couple that visits Gatsby's house with Tom.
Michaelis — George Wilson's Greek neighbor.
Dan Cody — a wealthy adventurer who was Gatsby's mentor as a youth.
The Great Gatsby received mostly positive reviews when it was first published and many of Fitzgerald's literary friends wrote him letters praising the novel. However, Gatsby did not experience the commercial success of Fitzgerald's previous two novels, This Side of Paradise and The Beautiful and Damned, and although the novel went through two initial printings, some of these copies remained unsold years later.
When Fitzgerald died in 1940, he had been largely forgotten. His obituary in The New York Times mentioned Gatsby as evidence of great potential that was never reached. Gatsby gained readers when Armed Services Editions gave away around 150,000 copies of the novel to the American military in World War II.
In 1951 Arthur Mizener published The Far Side of Paradise, a biography of Fitzgerald. By the 1960s, Gatsby's reputation was established, and it is frequently mentioned as one of the great American novels.
Gatsby has been adapted numerous times, in various media. In addition, an early draft of the novel is now available as Trimalchio: An Early Version of "The Great Gatsby".

Pure Methodical Anarchy...FORWARD & INTRODUCTION
While the above statement may seem to be contradictory, it perfectly describes the wonders in this book. If I were to sum up “This Event Juncture” in one word, it would have to be “vexatious”, that is: “Troubling to the nerves or peace of mind”. It fits this book in so many ways.
Through these stories and poems, you will visit emotions ranging from all ends of the spectrum and even far beyond-emotions that you may not have even known were present in yourself. In the flagship story “This Event Juncture” alone you experience joy, pain, grief, amazement, life and death just to name a few, in perfect sync and proportion to one another. Each short story and poem is truly tantalizing to all the senses at once.
Author Laura Duncan has a certain air of caliginous fervency about her. So much passion for the darker side of the emotional spectrum comes through in each of her works. To some, they will hit close to home and to others, they will simply pluck at that one nerve… the raw shock reverberating through your mind and body. While generally on the more obscure side, she lays them out with as much beauty and grace as Monet with his paintbrush and muse. She has taken the art of writing and made it her own, truly captivating whomever reads from the first word to the last.
Author R.S. DeVille is a true wonder. His works span from hilarious to the most thought-inspiring words you will ever read. He will take you from amusing to arousing all in the same breath. His hilarity is matched only by his own depth and intelligence. When he does character works, you can almost see him standing in his study, making the movements and saying the words in the accent of his choosing and writing it out bit by bit. This thought alone draws a deep laugh from the recesses of my abdomen. I have yet to see an author that can match his wit and intelligence while still holding on to the serious or jocular side of things. You will notice that somehow, even in the face of his more sober sided writings, he always leaves a bit of wit in there. His stories and poems will hold your attention from the very first word to the last and some will leave you with one word on your mind… “WOW”! Mr. DeVille dares to write what he likes knowing that some will be seen as “taboo or risqué”. He stretches the limits of emotion and imagination. He is a modern-day Shakespeare in his own right!!
If you are not provoked by the writings in this book in one way or another, you read it wrong. Dare to go back and read it again. No words are wasted. There is something for everyone in here. It is not a book for the faint of heart or the prudish type. Read it with an open mind and revel in the stimulation to all of your senses at once. You will NOT find another collection of works that cover this intricate webbing of thought and emotion as fully and beautifully as “This Event Juncture”.

A course in Miracles (ACIM) is not merely a spiritual text but a profound guide on the journey of self-discovery and inner transformation. It offers a unique path towards understanding your true self, shedding the layers of illusion, and finding inner peace and purpose. In this article, we will explore how ACIM can serve as a transformative tool for embarking on a deep journey of self-discovery.
Recognizing the False Self
The first step on the journey of self-discovery with ACIM is recognizing the false self, often referred to as the ego. ACIM teaches that the ego is a acim thought system based on fear, split, and the belief in individual identity. It is this false self that often leads to suffering, conflict, and a sense of emptiness in our lives.
ACIM’s Text and Workbook provide lessons and teachings aimed at helping individuals observe the ego’s influence in their lives. Through self-reflection and contemplation, students of ACIM learn to identify ego-driven thoughts, judgments, and reactions as they arise. This heightened awareness is the initial key to self-discovery.
The Role of Forgiveness
Central to ACIM’s teachings is the concept of forgiveness. However, ACIM’s forgiveness goes beyond the common understanding of pardoning someone for their wrongdoings. In this context, forgiveness is the means by which we release ourselves from the burden of grievances, judgments, and illusions.
The journey of self-discovery with ACIM involves forgiving not only others but also on your own. It’s about letting go of the past and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are. Through forgiveness, we unburden ourselves from the weight of guilt, shame, and blame, allowing our true self to shine through.
Unveiling the true Self
As the egoic layers are peeled away through forgiveness and self-awareness, individuals continue to look their true self, which ACIM often refers to as the “Son of God” or the “Christ within. ” This true self is characterized by love, peace, and a sense of oneness with all of creation.
The journey of self-discovery in ACIM involves a profound shift in perception. Rather than identifying with the ego, individuals learn to align with their true self. This conjunction brings about a profound sense of inner peace and purpose. It is a realization that you are not separate from others but linked with a wide-spread love and consciousness.
The Practice of Reflection and Mindfulness
ACIM encourages the practice of reflection and mindfulness as tools for self-discovery. Reflection allows individuals to quiet the mind, creating a space for the inner voice of wisdom and guidance to emerge. It is in this stillness that you can connect with your true self and experience moments of clarity and insight.
Mindfulness, on the other hand, involves being fully present in the moment, paying attention to your thoughts and emotions without judgment. This practice allows you to become more aware of the ego’s thought patterns and helps you disidentify from them.
Enjoying the Journey
The journey of self-discovery with ACIM is not a quick fix but a lifelong process. It requires dedication, self-compassion, and a drive to experience the ego’s resistance to change. As you continue on this path, you may encounter challenges and setbacks, but each experience is an opportunity for growth and deeper self-awareness.
In conclusion, A course in Miracles offers a profound and transformative journey of self-discovery. It provides the knowhow and teachings necessary to recognize and transcend the false self, embrace forgiveness, and launch your true self—a self characterized by love, peace, and oneness with the universe. As you embark on this journey, remember that the destination is not a place but a state of being—an awakened and liberated self.

A note from the author ~ Discussion questions are for readers, usually book clubs, who’ve read the book.
If you haven’t read the book, the discussion questions below may contain plot spoilers.
- Toward the beginning of the When the Morning Comes , Hannah meets and receives help from a stranger of a different ethnic background. His reaction to her situation is much kinder than what she received from her own community. Can you name at least three ways in which his actions were Christlike? How would you respond to someone who looks as odd as Hannah did?
- As Paul deals with the aftermath of everything Hannah went through, he struggles with a desire for vengeance against her attacker even though revenge is against his beliefs. What does the Bible say about vengeance? Are there other Scriptures or biblical principles that you feel add a different perspective?
- Dr. Lehman doesn’t turn Hannah in to the authorities even though she is legally still a minor. Do you think he did the right thing by finding a way around the law in order to help Hannah find the freedom he believes she needs?
- Zabeth had been baptized into the Old Order Amish faith and later discovered a love for the forbidden musical instruments and “worldly” songs. She broke her vow and was shunned. Do you believe it is ever acceptable to break a vow? Is there anything in your life that would be worth losing your church, community, and your family over?
- Sarah is unable to bear the guilt for her part in what caused her sister to flee. It soon becomes evident that Sarah has deeper issues than just the jealousy. (That was apparent in book one, When the Heart Cries .) Has knowing only part of a situation ever caused you to judge a situation or a person unfairly? What steps can you take to avoid building a prejudice based on partial information? Is there a difference between judging a person and assessing him or her? If so, how can assessing be accomplished without leading to judging?
- Dorcas is not honest with Paul about Hannah’s efforts to reach him. Dorcas believes she is protecting him from a girl whose presence in his life would separate him from a relationship with his parents, his community, and his church. What separates protecting someone from manipulating someone? What are some warnings signs that indicate a person is aiming to manipulate rather than protect?
- As Hannah begins to build a new life, her emotions and desires are turbulent. At the end of book one she felt she had to leave Owl’s Perch, but after living with Zabeth awhile, she misses the ways of her people and their less stressful pace of life. Despite everything, she chooses to move forward with her new life. Our emotions constantly battle with us, and sometimes we follow our feelings rather than God’s principles. What are some steps you can take to make your emotions come under the wisdom and authority of God’s Word?
- Mary feels a heavy guilt about tricking herself into thinking she was trusting God when she was simply hiding the truth in order to get her own way. Has there ever been a time in your life when you tried to convince yourself that God’s will was the same as your desires? If so, how did you deal with the situation? What piece of wisdom would you share with children, young people, or loved ones to help them avoid making that mistake?
- After attending counseling sessions with Faye, Martin realizes that he has been blaming her for their mother’s death. What, if anything, could Martin have done to realize this earlier? Do you think it would have made a difference in Faye’s life if her dad and Martin had not blamed her? Have you withheld forgiveness from anyone in your life?
- Hannah believes that through counseling she and Martin can help Faye with her substance addictions and self-hatred. Regardless of Hannah’s efforts, Faye leaves, abandoning her children. Has there been a time in your life when you gave a situation your all and things still went wrong? How did you cope? What did you learn that might help someone else?
- When Faye abandons her children, Martin leaves a rich client in order to attend to the emergency, choosing family over work. Would you have handled the situation in the same way? Are the world’s temptations distorting what is really important in your life?
- After Hannah has rebuilt a new life for herself, she receives a call that her sister, who had betrayed her, needs her to come home. If you were Hannah, would you return to a community and family who had treated you so unfairly in order to help someone who had lied about you?

Religion, Gender and Stereotypes
2016, 80 min, USA
Versão com Legendas em Português, debate em Inglês
Screening of "Supergirl", an independent documentary about a young orthodox Jewish girl in the USA who is a world record-holding powerlifter, followed by debate with the director Jessie Auritt with anthropologist Miguel Vale de Almeida (ISCTE-UIL).
When a nine-year-old girl breaks a powerlifting world record, she turns into an international phenomenon and “Supergirl” is born. Naomi Kutin seems like a typical Orthodox Jewish pre-teen, until her extraordinary talent transforms the lives of her family and thrusts her into news headlines. SUPERGIRL follows Naomi’s unique coming-of-age story as she fights to hold on to her title while navigating the perils of adolescence—from strict religious obligations to cyber-bullying, and health issues which could jeopardize her future in powerlifting. Can she still be “Supergirl” if she can no longer break world records? With a passionate family supporting her each step of the way, Naomi must learn to accept herself and discover she is as strong inside as she is outside.
Jessie Auritt is a documentary filmmaker based in New York City. Her previous short film, the documentary THE BIRDMAN, screened at festivals around the country and received the Slamdance Grand Jury Prize for Short Documentary in 2013. In addition to independent filmmaking, she has shot, edited, directed, and produced videos for UNICEF, IFC.com, the New York Daily News, and many other companies and nonprofit organizations. Jessie is an alumnus of the IFP Documentary Lab and a member of the women’s filmmaker group, Film Fatales. SUPERGIRL is Jessie’s debut as a feature film director.
