Barbara Marx Hubbard – Ultimate Destiny Hall of Fame Award Recipient
Barbara Marx Hubbard Award Recognition Plaque
About Barbara Marx Hubbard
Barbara Marx Hubbard (born December 22, 1929) is a futurist, author and public speaker. She is credited with the concepts of ‘The Synergy Engine’ and the ‘birthing’ of humanity.
A Jewish agnostic, her father was toy maker Louis Marx. In her youth she attended the Dalton School in New York City. She studied at L’Ecole des Sciences Politiques at La Sorbonne in Paris during her junior year of college, and received a B.A. cum laude in Political Science from Bryn Mawr College in 1951.
As an author, speaker, and co-founder and president of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution, she posits that humanity now, as never before, is on the threshold of a quantum leap. If we are able to integrate newly emergent scientific, social, and spiritual capacities, we could transform ourselves to move beyond our current global crises to a magnificent future equal to our vast new potential.
She is the subject of a biography by author Neale Donald Walsch, The Mother of Invention: The Legacy of Barbara Marx Hubbard and the Future of “YOU.” Her name was placed in nomination for the vice-presidency of the United States on the Democratic ticket in 1984, and at which convention she gave a speech upon being nominated.
More About Barbara Marx Hubbard
In 1945 the United States dropped atomic bombs on Japan, and the world caught its breath.
This pivotal event deeply impacted the young Barbara Marx Hubbard, who found herself asking President Eisenhower, “What is the meaning of our power that is good”? Barbara’s 40+ year inquiry, and the answers she has found, offer invaluable assistance to us all at this time in our history. Despite the state of the world, we are truly on the threshold of great possibility, of our own conscious evolution.
“There is no doubt in my mind that Barbara Marx Hubbard – who helped introduce the concept of futurism to society – is the best informed human now alive regarding futurism and the foresights it has produced.”~Buckminster Fuller
Barbara Marx Hubbard has been called “the voice for conscious evolution…” by Deepak Chopra. She is the subject of Neale Donald Walsch’s book The Mother of Invention. And many would agree she is the global ambassador for conscious change.
At her heart, Barbara Marx Hubbard is a visionary, a social innovator. She is an evolutionary thinker who believes that global change happens when we work collectively and selflessly for the greater good. She realizes that the lessons of evolution teach us that problems are evolutionary drivers, and crises precede transformation, giving a new way of seeing and responding to our global situation.
In 1984 her name was placed in nomination for the Vice Presidency of the United States on the Democratic ticket, calling for a “Peace Room” to scan for, map, connect and communicate what is working in America and the world. She also co-chaired a number of Soviet-American Citizen Summits, introducing a new concept called “SYNCON” to foster synergistic convergence with opposing groups. In addition she co-founded the World Future Society, and the Association for Global New Thought.
Barbara Marx Hubbard is not an idealist, nor does she believe that social and planetary change is simple. But she does believe that humanity has the tools, fortitude, and resolve to take the leap towards conscious evolution.
Her books include: The Hunger of Eve: One Woman’s Odyssey toward the Future; The Evolutionary Journey: Your Guide to a Positive Future; Revelation: Our Crisis is a Birth –An Evolutionary Interpretation of the New Testament; Conscious Evolution: Awakening the Power of our Social Potential; Emergence: The Shift from Ego to Essence; 52 Codes for Conscious Self Evolution and Birth 2012 and Beyond: Humanity’s Great Shift to the Age of Conscious Evolution.


I discovered Vogel’s work about 10 years ago. And after I purchased his 1890 illustrated edition of Grimm’s fairy tales with approx. 300 illustrations I was blown away.
I believe I found the first of these 4 volumes of drawing on line. Each large
sized book has 100 pages of wildly detailed scenes featuring dozens and dozens
of characters both human and animal.
Look closely as there are a LOT of little stories tucked away in various corners.
Here is snow white with various beasties keeping her company…
Hansel and Gretel at the witch’s gingerbread cottage.
A small b/w vignette.
I’ve no idea of what this was for but those 4 volumes are absolutely full of this type of images.
Must be winter time…
I love his animals, especially bunnies and foxes so much!

Dear Compass Academy Network (CAN) Student,
Welcome to the Summer 2020 Compass Academy Network! We’re very excited that you have chosen to join us this summer. And, like many other things this summer, CAN will look a little different than normal.
My name is Clayton Carnahan, and I am the new Program Director of CAN. I’m originally from Southeast Kansas, and I’ve now lived nearly half my life in Joplin. I’ve been working with some really great CAN teachers and administrators to provide interesting and fun educational resources to you.
Rather than going digital, our goal this summer is to get you up and thinking and to challenge your minds. Each week, we will provide interactive packets with a specific theme like this one for you to work through along with a classic novel to add to your library. Each packet will contain everything you need to complete the challenges. Through reading more, finding solutions, and exploring nature, you will be challenged to discover new things and learn more about the world around you and your place in it. This is an opportunity to really challenge yourself, and I hope you will! On the next page, you will see an overview of what’s in store.
For your first assignment, please text or email your name to my email address, firstname.lastname@example.org. If you are sending this by text from a phone, just paste my email address right into the “to” box in a text message. This will send your text as an email to me, and it will allow me to view photos of assignments you will be sending.
Weekly work can also be sent back to us either by emailing or texting a picture of your completed challenge to me at email@example.com. Please be sure to include your name on each text or email.
I look forward to meeting with you and working alongside you this summer!


Tricky People: The New Way To Talk To Your Child About ‘Stranger Danger’ by Crystal Hardstaff
‘Tricky People’ by Crystal Hardstaff from The Gentle Counsellor is a children’s book for parents and caregivers to read to their children about consent, body autonomy, what is and is not ok, the warning signs, who are safe people, and how to listen to their instincts when something or someone doesn’t feel right. Stranger Danger is an old and outdated concept, and using the language of Tricky People helps empower and protect children.
The aim of this book is not to make children feel scared, instead, the goal is to introduce this concept in a safe environment and through age-appropriate language. Parents and caregivers will feel relieved to have this resource to return to and reread as needed throughout their child’s upbringing.
Crystal Hardstaff is a Counsellor in Queensland, Australia with a background in Education and Psychology. She works primarily within an Attachment Theory and Gentle Parenting framework. The Gentle Counsellor provides online resources to support the mental health and wellbeing of parents and children. For more information visit: www.thegentlecounsellor.com


Salve (again) english-speaking sodales!
Once again the Red Caps (well in fact the excellent blog from one of the coauthors) about the incoming brand new Iberian Tribunal book. For the benefit of non Spanish speaking fans let’s summarize what it says.
Let’s remember: the Spanish publisher of Ars Magica (Holocubierta) was approved by Atlas to develop a new Tribunal Book for the lands of the Iberian peninsula as the only existing one is a certainly out of date third edition one. The book is being written by long time translator of the line (for this edition) Mario and all around Archmagus (and translator of other RPGs) Oscar. Both are long time players and directors of Ars Magica and for sure know the game in and out.
Status of the book
It seems that the book is almost done and that the art for it starts to fall in place (the top of this post shows the cover art) so everything goes forward at great speed!
In the post it’s mentioned that the book might (emphasis on the conditional) be going into crowdfunding before the year is over.
What news do we have about the book in this last post?
- The manual finally has a title “Finis Terrae” (End of the Earth in latin). This similar to the other manual books of the 5th edition is supposed to evocate the theme of the Tribunal. In this case the idea that Iberia is not just the political frontier of the Order of Hermes but also literally where the people of Mythic Europe expected it to end. As they say… hic sunt dracones.
- Another of the main themes will be around the coexistence (sometimes pacific many times not much so) not only between the three religions of the book but also between the Order of Hermes and other non-hermetic magical traditions.
- The two biggest chapters in the book seem to be dedicated to hermetic and mundane history. The aim is to allow troupes to gain a sufficient understanding of the Iberian history that allows them to play at various points in time and not just the canonical 1220 start.
- The structure of the book will mirror the 5th edition ones. So we can expect that apart from the chapters for the historical data (mundane and hermetic) we will also have separate chapters per region with the story seeds and covenant info spread around those.
- As mentioned in some previous teasers it seems that the number of covenants described, both current and extinct, will be very high.
- It has been teased that at least during part of it’s history the Tribunal will suffer a split between two sub-Tribunals. Other elements of the game’s metaplot will also appear like the infamous Duresca Scrolls.
The post also pointed that soon enough they will do a new live stream to discuss more about the book. So keep you posted!

It has been a little more than a month since Tell Me a Story was released into the wild, and so far the book has been the recipient of some kind and generous reviews and comments. Allow me to highlight a few …
“[Tell Me a Story] looks at life as story and offers inspiration, encouragement and motivation to be worthy storytellers. It’s a great little (only 132 pages) book that condenses and summarizes a lot of the disjointed, buzz worthy and overdone thoughts about story that have floated around in the past few years and shares them in a concise, simple and powerful format.”
“The theme of the book is story – our stories, God’s storytelling, and the intersection of the two. What stands out in my mind is how this view of reality – living a story – makes so much sense of life. It gives purpose to conflict and pain. It gives motivation to decision making and planning. And it humbles me as I realize that there is an author of truth, the real story, and His story is so much better than what I could compose.”
“Tell Me a Story helps us (re)find our place in the ultimate story of God’s love and restoration of all things. When we can see beyond ourselves to this larger story, it gives our own story deeper meaning, greater inspiration, and clearer direction.”
“In a time when so many tell stories and get published quickly, there are few who tell stories that centralize back to the gospel, and Scott shows this well. If you’re a writer, storyteller, speaker, or communicator, I recommend this book for encouragement and instruction.”
There are also several kind reviews on Amazon, including this one from B. Atwood:
“If his goal is to make you want to tell your own life story as seen through the grand metanarrative of the Bible’s redemptive story, or to listen more intently to the stories others have lived, he’s succeeded.”
So there you have it — some kind words about this labor of love I call Tell Me a Story. If you don’t have a copy yet, or if you just haven’t had a chance to read yours yet, I’d love for you to dig in. Even more, I’d love hear your thoughts on the book and your experience with it. If you’re so inclined, drop me a line.


D. - außerplanmäßigen Heeres-Vorschriften
D. - außerplanmäßigen Heeres Vorschrift - unplanned Army Manuals
This series of unplanned army manuals is called the Waffentechnische Heeresvorschriften, the technical manuals for all army sections mainly dealing with weapon systems and various equipment. The manual series is designated unplanned, as these manuals were issued as the specific equipment was taken into action. During the war, new weapons, ammunition and communication equipment were in continuous development. Accordingly, continuously new manuals appeared. Moreover, as the army continuously conquered equipment, manuals for the use and description of this equipment appeared.
The limited number of D. manuals dealing with organisational topics (mainly in the D. 2 to D. 100 range) were planned to be phased out eventually. Many of these were no longer available during the WW-II period. The D. manuals could be ordered by the Vorschriftenabteilung des Heereswaffenambtes Wa.Z. 4, the department of the military armament dealing with the manuals. This office was located in Iebenstraße 1, Berlin-Charlottenburg.
Many D. manuals had the designation Zum einlegen in das Gerät. These manuals belonged to the specific equipment, were to be ordered tegether with the equipment, and should remain with the equipment in case of transfer.
The D. series ran from D. 1 to D. 10000, with a more detailed subdivision indicated below.
Within the D. manuals, the D. 600 - D. 699 range deals with the vehicle park of the Heer army, both german build vehecules as well as beute gerät conquered vehicles are described. Each vehicle normally has 2 manuals: one describing its use and functionality, and one describing the spare part lists. Additional manuals then deal with e.g. the greasing plan or the electrical installations. Moreover, for many vehicles, special manuals for winter use appeared: Sonderausführung für Winterbetrieb, starting in 1942 and often revised in 1943 and 1944. These were numbered as 200 + the number of the manual on general use, with the addition "a" for the 1943 release and "b" for the 1944 release. An example of the series is given below:
D. 669/1 Lastkraftwagen 1½ t Opel Baumuster 2,5-32. Gerätbeschreibung und Bedienungsanweisung
D. 669/201 Lastkraftwagen 1½ t Opel, Baumuster 2,5-32, Sonderausrüstung für Winterbetrieb. Einbauanweisung, Gerätbeschreibung, Bedienungsanweisung und Ersatzteilliste
D. 669-201a Lastkraftwagen 1½ t Opel, Baumuster 2,5-32 Kühlwasserheitzgerät, Sonderausrüstung für Winterbetrieb ; Ausführung 1943. Einbauanweisung, Gerätbeschreibung, Bedienungsanweisung und Ersatzteilliste
D. 699-201b Lastkraftwagen 1½ t Opel, Baumuster 2,5-32, Sonderausrüstung für Winterbetrieb ; Ausführung 1944. Einbauanweisung, Gerätbeschreibung, Bedienungsanweisung und Ersatzteilliste
Of nearly 10% of the D. series manuals the title is unknown to me. Any information on missing titles is welcome.
The Geheim! classieifed series of the D. manuals is denoted as D+. In the lower numbers (D.1 till D. 100) the D+ series was additional, meaning that the numbering for D. and D.+ overlapped. Above the 100 numbering the D . and D.+ manuals were suplamentory. Some manuals appear initially as D+ Geheim, while later versions appeared as unclassified D. For the D. 651 - 653 series, many manuals are both listed as unclassified D. and classified D.+, often with the same date stamp. It is unclear if actually both D. as D.+ were issued, as some are only known to exist as unclassified D. and others as classified D+. Early manuals deal with tanks early classify the vehicles as Versuchskraftfahrzeug Vs.Kfz. experimental tank, while on the later manuals this changed to Panzer Kraftfahtzeug Pz.Kfz. tank.
Within the D.+ series, for about half of the manuals the title and/or the date are unknown to me. Any additional information on this is appreciated.
The D. manuals are grouped with respect to their main purpose or topic. This breakdown is given below:
D. 1 - D 99 für alle Waffen General use
D. 100 - D. 199 & D. 1851 - D. 1999 Infanterie Infantry troops

Sportochick's Musings: WOW..... What a dynamic shocking Prologue! Marlee's strong no nonsense character is introduced during a traumatic event that changes her life forever.
Looking For A Cowboy
Heart Of Texas #5
By Donna Grant
Publisher: St. Martin's Press Romance
Genre: Contemporary Romance
BLURB - A cowboy finds love in the most unlikely place in New York Times bestseller Donna Grant's newest Heart of Texas novel, Looking for a Cowboy
A beautiful stranger has come to Clearview, asking questions that are nobody’s business. Cooper Owens also wasn’t born yesterday. He knows that this out-of-towner is hiding a dark secret of her own. Much as he knows he should head in the other direction, he can’t make himself turn away. . .
P.I. Marlee Frampton always wanted to lead a nice quiet life, working as a cop in her local police department. But that dream came to an end when her sister was murdered―and her baby kidnapped. Now Marlee’s come to Texas to investigate the Harpers, who may be linked to shady adoption agencies. Cooper can’t believe that his friends could be involved in anything so sinister...and soon he makes it his mission to help Marlee discover the truth―and keep her safe in his arms.
WOW..... What a dynamic shocking Prologue! Marlee's strong no nonsense character is introduced during a traumatic event that changes her life forever. This prologue then leads the reader 10 years later into a deep well written story line that will keep the reader at the edge of their seat.
Marlee's character shows the reader what happens to a person who though dedicated to stopping baby kidnappings doesn't keep balance in their life. Marlee's inability to let go of the past changes her forever and not always for the good. Watching her maneuver through her life and the introduction of Cooper into her space created many emotions in this reader.
Cooper is lost.... plain and simple he is not sure what do do with his life. When Marlee falls into his path he losses his balance trying to keep track of her. There is much to like about Cooper. He is a great friend, son and willing to help anyone. He has a strong moral code and let's not forget he's HOT!
For villain's in the book there is some unexpected ones which keeps the reader from figuring out the solution quickly. I liked this part of not knowing.
For me the moral of the story was that sometimes you have to let go of loved ones and/or tragic things in your life to live a life you love and to open yourself to loving another and letting them in to love you.
Every reader will enjoy this book because there is love, action and drama in it. Will you read it? I'd love to hear what you think about the ending.

I do love a resourceful free spirited woman and Daisy fills that position to a “T”. Her sensual personality drew me into the plot as I watched her try to work her charms on Cailean. It was smile worthy, reading different scenes with various interactions between the two of them. Furthermore I loved her mother son relationship which was the main theme of this book.
This book was an enjoyable read with the back and forth bantering between Daisy and the very handsome Cailean. There were times I laughed and times I got so angry with Cailean I wanted to shake him but I always loved Daisy and admired her spirit. Cailean on the other hand was a sexy standoffish man and it took me a while to warm up to him but once I did I kept rooting for him to open up and realize Daisy’s worth.
The pace of this book is steady and descriptions were very vivid drawing the reader into the storyline. My only thought is that at times it felt too simplistic to me but those times were few and my overall impression is that this is a very pleasant read and I look forward to reading more books from this author.
For this reason, I give it 4 STARS.
Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.

Mariners 1st edn
ROBERT G. BEDNARIK
This volume summarises the history and findings of the First Mariners Project, which the author commenced in 1996 and which is engaged in exploring the Ice Age origins of seafaring. This is the largest archaeological replication project ever undertaken. It has so far involved many hundreds of people, the construction of eight primitive vessels with stone tools under scientifically controlled conditions, and the sailing of six of them. Four bamboo rafts have succeeded in accomplishing the historically documented crossings they sought to replicate, the other efforts have failed. One of the successful experiments, a 1000-km journey to Australia in 1998, attempted to recreate the first human arrival in Australia, probably around 60 000 years ago. Others addressed the much earlier sea crossings documented to have taken place in the islands of Indonesia, the earliest of which occurred up to a million years ago. Two of these experiments have featured in BBC productions, two others in National Geographic documentaries. This book describes the archaeological background and relevant issues comprehensively and it comprises an extensive pictorial record, of both the experiments and the archaeological basis of this research. It is unique in its approach, because in all such previous maritime adventures it has been tried to prove some point or other, usually that a certain crossing of the sea was possible. This project, by contrast, only deals with proven crossings for which archaeological information about their approximate timing is available. Its purpose therefore is not to prove any colonisation, but to establish what the minimum technological and cognitive conditions would have been to succeed in such maritime achievements of the very distant past. The book contains a detailed discussion of early palaeoart.

"In Search of Zen Studies: The Central Role of Chan/Zen Syncretism"
Time: November 11, 2023.
Zen enthralled the world throughout much of the twentieth century, and Zen studies became a major academic discipline in its wake. Interpreted through the lens of Japanese Zen and its reaction to events in the modern world, Zen studies incorporated a broad range of Zen-related movements in the Asian Buddhist world, ranging from India to Japan and places in between. As broad reaching as the scope of Zen studies was, it was clearly rooted in a Japanese context, and aspects of the “Zen experience” that did not fit aspirations framed by modern Rinzai Zen orthodoxy tended to be marginalized and ignored.

"Applying the Antidote: A Tantric Perspective on Body, Representation and Imagination"
Time: February 15, 2023
Place: Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center, 1299 Oread Ave, Lawrence, KS
This event is organized and sponsored by KU Center for East Asian Studies and KU Department of Religious Studies.
Abstract: Desire, hatred, and ignorance lie at the very root of suffering, from a Buddhist perspective. And yet, tantric teachings reveal ways in which these three poisons can also be used on the path to liberation. Likewise, the body itself is defined as both an obstacle to and an instrument of liberation. In this talk, I share my findings from a fifteenth-century debate on a tantric ritual practice known as body mandala to explore the ways in which bodies, texts and images function as antidotes. Tantric adepts engaging in body mandala transform the body into a celestial palace inhabited by buddhas through ritual acts of imagination. I show how two Tibetan authors navigate the boundaries of bodies and texts in the body mandala debate and why their maneuvers are relevant to contemporary debates on representation and the category of the “human.”
Book of the City exhibition, at Tucson Humanities Festival
Time: October 25-26, 2022
As a part of this year's Tucson Humanities Festival, the opening reception for the Book of the City exhibition was launched on Tuesday, October 25 from 6-9PM, followed by a dance performance at 7pm. Jacqueline Barrios hosted a follow-up Respondents' Panel at the MOCA on Wednesday, October 26, from 11am-12pm.
Join us as we celebrate the collective works to come out of the Big Book Field Studio: Design Methods and the Canon, where an interdisciplinary team of architects, artists, and students joined forces in a public, applied and urban humanist studio based on the Charles Dickens’ 1850 novel, David Copperfield. Enjoy light refreshments and tunes from our resident DJ as you view the premiere of a new dance work and browse original installations to emerge from the project. From stereographs of bus shelters to a figurine installation collected from thrift stores, from ‘zines paying tribute to the Tanque Verde Swap Meet to choreography inspired by the El Tiradito shrine – this is a Victorian novel like you’ve never encountered before, a Dickensian vision in the desert, a collective Tucsonan tale of the city.
This exhibition is a featured event as part of this year’s Tucson Humanities Festival<https://humanitiesfestival.arizona.edu/>, and in the spirit of its theme this year of “community,” we hope you will help us manifest the ways literature might be an instrument to gather and collectivize this evening. As recipient of the inaugural Opening the Canon Award<https://humanities.arizona.edu/news/prof-barrios-receives-opening-canon-award> from UArizona’s College of Humanities Fearless Inquiries initiative, the Big Book Field Studio seeks to surface the emergent questions a book can inspire in the hands of a fearless reader. Do join us in this showcase of works that display the unique author-ity of nine new readers who explored what it means to make such books matter in our time.

"Navigating global research collaborations in a world of political upheaval"
Time: 9am, Tuesday October 25

Arizona Linguistics Circle 16 Plenary Talk
"Co-operative production: A multidimensional approach to social meaning"
Time: 10:40-11:55, Saturday October 22
Place: ENR 2 Building, Rm 210. 1064 E Lowell St, Tucson, AZ 85719
Abstract: In this talk, I present an on-going research project that has grown as a result of COVID-19 restrictions on travel and in-person contact. Situated in the tumultuous development of US-China relation since the outbreak of COVID-19, the project investigates the speech styles of the spokespersons of China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). In this talk, I focus on the performance of Zhao Lijian at MOFA’s daily press conferences. A micro-celebrity on Chinese social media and notoriously dubbed the “supreme wolf warrior” in Western media, Zhao has become a sociolinguistic icon of China’s changing diplomatic style from restraint to bellicosity in the global geopolitics of a rising China and its threat to the Western status quo. He combines a range of linguistic and semiotic resources in the performance of a widely recognized combative persona. Focusing on rhotacization, a salient phonological variable in Northern Mandarin and Standard Putonghua, I examine how it takes on new/additional meanings—higher order indexicalities—through intersecting ways.
Data are collected through digital ethnography from multiple (social) media platforms. In this talk, I examine 1) video clips of Zhao’s press conferences posted in official social media accounts, 2) social media participants’ commentaries about 1), and 3) reproduction and recontextualization of Zhao’s speech by other state media agents and Chinese netizens.
Analysis reveals that rhotacization takes on higher order indexicality through a co-operative process involving the speaker and other participants. It comes about as variation is taken up in the performance of personas and embedded in semantic content. It gets reproduced, specified, and contested through the uptake practices of other participants. Through these intersecting ways, phonological variation exerts real-world significance by participating in the co-performance of China’s confrontational persona and the larger project of “telling China’s story and spreading China’s voice” in global geopolitics.


Only when men refuse to compare Scripture with Scripture and to read the mind of the Spirit in the complete revelation of the one truth unto salvation, could they fall upon the cheerless and forbidding thought, that the God of love created some men to an inevitable doom of death and endless misery, and that Christ was sent to be the cause of their destruction, as He was sent to be the cause of life and salvation to others more favored of God.
The following teaching on election and predestination was delivered by professor Matthias Loy, and is well worth taking the time to read. You can download a PDF version Who are the Elect?. As always, may God richly bless you.
Who Are The Elect? Matt. 22:1-14. And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

The War Horse Story
The Duke of York is proud to be associated with Michael Morpurgo’s famous book ‘War Horse’ The author got the inspiration to write the book after talking to First World War veteran Wilfred Ellis almost 30 years ago in front of the fire in The Duke. The book was first published in 1982 and has since been turned into a play by the National Theatre. The play is currently being shown in the West End of London and on Broadway in New York.
The book is dedicated to Wilfred Ellis, along with fellow villagers Albert Weeks and Captain Arthur Walter Moorland Budgett. It’s based on a fictional account of the Great War, focused on a horse ‘Joey’ who served at the front. The famous Iddesleigh Village Hall featured in the story is a short walk from the pub and is home to ‘Joey’ a painting created by the popular artist Ali Bannister and commissioned by Michael Morpurgo.
War Horse has now been made into a film directed by Steven Spielberg which was released in the United States in December 2011 and in the UK in 2012. Quite a few of the scenes from the film were shot nearby on Dartmoor.
There is a line in the film which says ' see you at the Duke of York'
We wish the Author and all those associated with the War Horse story every success with the film.

This project will aim to give Sudanese women the insight they need to be active, and inspire Sudanese men to encourage the Sudanese women within their society to take action in the sense that they would make their voices heard. But more importantly to celebrate women, history and Sudan. Unfortunately, many Sudanese have very limited knowledge of Sudanese history as a whole and this reflects on the public educational system. So here is a quick recap on the achievements of Sudanese women and an introduction to the project.
The International Bill of Human Rights adopted in 1948 in addition to the Convention of the Political Rights of Women that was adopted in 1952 but enforced in 1954 really laid down the fundamental base for Sudanese Women’s rights post independence. Now, despite that fact that Sudanese women did not gain the right to vote till 1964, many Sudanese women were active in many aspects of Sudanese society. They contributed, in one way or the other, to education, science, literature, music and more importantly in civil societies.
Sudanese women like all women were revolutionary in being the first in everything in the Arab world. The first Arab woman to enter parliament was Fatima Ahmed Ibrahim and one of the first female Doctors was Dr Khalda Zahir, both are exceptional women who have achieved well beyond their respective fields. These are just two of many Sudanese women who have achieved so much and who should be revered, recognized and remembered by all Sudanese.
Initially the project will be broken down into chronological themes from post independence until the present. The first one (Next entry) will be dedicated to important Sudanese women in the early 20th century who have contributed to Sudanese society. For the coming themes, well, you’ll have to wait and see.
Feel like pitching in?
I would also like to take this opportunity to invite other bloggers, random writers or really anyone interested in being part of this project to contribute to a theme of his or her choice, in Arabic or English. All will be welcomed.
تحيات من امرأة سودانية


Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the
dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God."
"And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle
of the blood with his finger seven times."
"Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and
sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:"
"And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee."
I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel."
"And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place."
"And thou shalt put it before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where
I will meet with thee."
"The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,"
"The ark, and the staves
thereof, with the mercy seat, and the vail of the covering,"
"The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,"
"And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the
staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:"
"And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is
upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat."
"And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with Him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off
the mercy seat that was upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubims: and He spake unto him."


City of Poughkeepsie Mayor Appoints Lawrence As City Historian
City of Poughkeepsie Mayor Rob Rolison announced today that Tom Lawrence, Director of Poughkeepsie Public Library District, has been appointed City of Poughkeepsie Historian.
Lawrence will serve as a resource for the general public and will aid in the preservation of documents, maps, photographs and other materials relating to the city’s history.
“Tom Lawrence’s devotion to the community and his exceptional work with the Library District will serve him well as City Historian,” said Mayor Rolison.
Lawrence, a native of Central New York, graduated from the College of St. Rose in Albany with a BA in Social Sciences, from the University of Oklahoma with a Masters in Library Science, and from Long Island University with a Certificate of Advanced Study on public library management. He has held librarian positions in New York and Connecticut and has been at the Poughkeepsie Public Library District for the last 24 years.
“As City Historian, I want to work with members of the community to not only preserve the record of our past but to increase the awareness and understanding of the Queen City’s rich history as we explore the potential for its future,” he said.
Over the centuries, Poughkeepsie has transformed from a hamlet to a village to city. Poughkeepsie served as state capital following the burning of Kingston by the British in 1777. In 1788, members of the state convention in Poughkeepsie ratified the U.S. Constitution, with New York forging a new union with the original 13 colonies to become the United States of America. Among other significant landmarks, the city is the site of a Franklin D. Roosevelt-inspired Post Office; the Poughkeepsie Journal, the state’s oldest newspaper and the second oldest in the nation; and the Bardavon 1869 Opera House, the oldest continuously operating entertainment venue in the state, “The city’s history is all around us, and it’s not just in the history books,” Mayor Rolison said. “But the documentation of the city’s history – and the preservation of that history – is critically important. Tom Lawrence has been one of the trusted caretakers of these records and artifacts. We are grateful he has accepted this appointment.”


In a sentence or so: Yeats must save a childhood friend of his father who is trapped inside of a classic story before she gets stuck there forever.Things haven't been great between Yeats's parents. His mother tries to be patient with his father's moods and the family frequently moves to try and help the situation. Nothing is working. Yeats knows, even as a pre-teen, that his parents are headed for a split. He just wishes there was something, ANYTHING, he could do to break his father's gloom once and for all.Yeats and fam arrive at his Gran's house as a last ditch effort to save their family. The house seems an odd choice, however, given that the whole place has a creepy vibe and is home to an ageless cat named Odysseus. Upon investigating his surroundings, Yeats discovers the core of his father's sadness is within the pages of a book and finds there just might be a way he can set things right for everyone. He will have to be brave, he will have to be clever, and he will have to survive by entering a The Arabian Nights and saving a girl all by himself.Between Two Ends by David Ward is one of those reads that gives many nods to other classic works of literature. I loved that! Grandma makes reference to The Hobbit, Yeats is named after a poet so of course we get all sorts of poetry dropped on us, and the brave adventure Yeats must undertake is to save a girl from within the pages of The Arabian Nights. All of the literature shout-outs definitely made my bookish heart go pitter-pat!I will always and forever have a soft spot for middle grade books. There is something that is unabashedly hopeful and whimsical and fun about them that I can't resist. Between Two Ends is no different! Sure, we all know how it ends. But it is the journey that we want anyway! We want to see how it is Yeats saves the girl, how he remains brave in a foreign land all by himself, and we want to see the love and commitment for his family in his heart.For a light middle grade fantasy with literary shout outs and a shot of silly characters to keep you entertained, read Between Two Ends by David Ward.Fave quote: "A plan?" Mr. Sutcliff raised an eyebrow. "Well, we are in a story. Something will present itself. Have you forgotten? We will have action. There is no story unless things happen." (217-218)Fix er up: I worry about the message that Yeats is able to cure his father's depression and that it minimizes the disease. I don't think that's what the author is trying to do, but I could definitely see that message being portrayed anyway.

Patti Larsen, award-winning Young Adult author
Being woken up in the middle of the night by a voice saying, “my Mom is a witch, my Dad is a demon and I just want to be normal” would be scary for some. For Patti Larsen, however, it turned out to be one of the best and most important moments of her life.
Up until that moment, Patti owned and operated a popular hair salon, but when Sydlynn Hayle spoke to her that night, she knew what she had to do: she needed to tell Syd’s story.
Now, seven years and twenty books later in the Family Magic series, Patti is an award-winning Young Adult author with her sights set on world domination and finding joy in everything.
Raised on science fiction books and playing dungeons and dragons, Patti knew from age 12 that she wanted to write. Over the years, she has tried her hand at a variety of professions including journalism, improv and independent filmmaking, but nothing was ever a perfect fit. “If you’re not having fun, why are you doing it?” she asks.
Having worked with a variety of publishers, including a long-standing relationship with Acorn Press, what has worked best for her has been the fast-paced world of independent publishing and being in control of her business. Patti usually publishes one to two books a month! How in the world does she do it? “Writing is a job, 9-5 just like anything else,” she says. “I can write 3000 words an hour and a book is typically 70,000 words.”
A very structured person, she has developed a system that is a combination of what she learned in journalism school, university English courses and screenwriting for film and television. Before she writes a word, she has already planned out the entire series and knows how it will end.
When she releases book one in a series, she is already working on book three with her editor. Patti is always planning at least six months in advance; it should come as no great shock that she is a big believer in writing everything down. Everything goes in the day planner including how many pages she is going to write each day.
To date, Patti has released 70 books and has no plans to slow down anytime soon. Syd would never let her.

Based on this framework, the paper provides an overview of the state of art of misconfiguration troubleshooting along with analysis on the current leading methods of software misconfiguration troubleshooting. Finally, this paper summarizes the shortcomings in the current research and outlinesthe development prospects of future research. This paper aims to provide some available information and beneficial insight for future researches. ?2015 ISCAS.


What began as a book rescue mission has become a literary nightmare for a Pike Lake, Sask., woman.
Shaunna Raycraft took over a collection of 350,000 books when a neighbour threatened to burn them after her collector husband passed away.
But now Raycraft and her own husband don't know what to do with all the books and are forced to contemplate burning some books themselves.
Floor to ceiling books
Raycraft said she was amazed when she first set eyes on the massive collection kept by their neighbours on a nearby acreage. "There was a house floor-to-ceiling with books," said Raycraft. "He was the collector; she had tried to get someone to appraise the books but they wouldn't come out to the rural setting."
"She didn't know how to deal with them so she started to burn them," Raycraft explained.
But the Raycrafts are book lovers and couldn't stand the sight of them being destroyed. Some of the books appear to be old and quite rare. "There was a first edition copy of Black Beauty on the top pile and the bottom was all charred off [from being burned] but the top was just immaculate," she said.
So Raycraft and her husband plunged in and took over the collection, bringing a small house onto their property to accommodate all the books. They piled box after box of books into the house.
"We're talking 30 tonnes of books. The weight of the books is pulling the house apart."
