Reviewer: Snežana Miladinović, Ph.D., Full-time Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Montenegro
The textbook Tourism Law, written in Serbian by Prof. Dr. Dragan Vujisić and Doc. Dr. Andrej Mićović, is one of a number of texts produced by the Faculty of Hotel Management and Tourism in Vrnjačka Banja, University of Kragujevac, Serbia. It was published in late 2016.
The book is published within the framework of the TEMPUS Project „Modernization and Harmonization of Tourism Study Programmes in Serbia“, No. 544543-TEMPUS-1-2013-1-RS-TEMPUS-JPCR.
The textbook provides a thorough legal analysis of both tourism and hospitality status and contract rules, which are currently in force at the national and EU level, by taking into account respective doctrinal views. It complies with the highest scientific and pedagogical standards.
The book is primarily designed for students who are enrolled at different type of faculties and study programs (tourism and hospitality, law, economy, management), but it is also a valuable material for legal practitioners and tourism and hospitality operators.
In short, this text is highly recommendable and will also certainly appeal to the professional and scientific public.
It consists of 290 pages and is divided into two parts. The first part is devoted to the legal status and business activities of tourism and hospitality operators. The second part deals with tourism and hospitality contracts. In addition, there is also an Introduction at the very beginning of the book. The Introduction, the first part and timeshare contract from the second part, are written by Doc. Dr. Andrej Mićović. Other tourism related contracts from the second part are written by Prof. Dr. Dragan Vujisić. The textbook contains a foreword, abbreviations, bibliography, the list of electronic sources and index page.
The Introduction provides a definition of tourism law and its subject, historical overview of the development of tourism and tourism law, as well as a classification of tourism-related legal sources. From the very beginning, the authors take the reader on a journey through the evolution of tourism and hospitality related rules, from the earliest ages to modern times. Doc. Dr. Andrej Mićović underlined the importance of travel for the emergence of rudimentary forms of travel and tourism services, which gradually evolved into their current form.
The first part of the book, titled Status Tourism Law, is divided into five chapters.
The first chapter deals with terms and concepts used in the tourism industry and standards for providing services in tourism, particularly standards for the categorization of accommodation, hunting and nautical facilities.
In the second chapter, Doc. Dr. Andrej Mićović, analyzes the legal form and the legal status of tourism service providers, and points out different types of providers of tourist activities. Issues related to the establishment, organization and management of tourist area, organizations for tourism promotion, travel agencies, tourist guides and accommodation service providers, are explained in detail.
The third chapter is devoted to the conceptual definition and types of tourism and hospitality business activities. The text of this chapter is divided into five subchapters. The first subchapter is devoted to an introductory discussion on tourism and hospitality activities and their classification. In the second, the author discusses in detail tourism-related activities which include provision of travel agency services, professional services in tourism (services of tourist guides, local tourist guides, tourist escorts, tourist animators and representatives at tourist destinations), special adventure and sports and recreation tourism services and car rental services. The subject of the third subchapter are hospitality business activities, followed by nautical activities in the fourth subchapter and hunting tourism-related activities in the fifth.
The fourth chapter of the first part covers the registration of tourism and hospitality entities and contains the basic principles, the registration processes, the content of the tourism registry and registration documentation.

Prof. Dr. Dragan Vujisić conducts a legal analysis of the package travel contracts, travel agency contracts, allotment contracts , hospitality services contracts, agency contracts on hospitality services, food and drink service contracts, while Doc. Dr. Andrej Mićović contributes to this part with a legal analysis of the timeshare contract.
The first chapter of the second part of the book is devoted to the package travel contract. After definiting this contract, the author gives an overview of the respective national rules and makes reference to the content, role and importance of Directive 90/314 EEC and its eventual successor Directive 2015/2302/EU. The obligations of the organiser and traveller and related specific rights are analized in detail. Special attention is paid to changes in the law in the package travel contract before the start of the package and to the liability of the organiser as well.
The second chapter focuses on the intermediary travel contract. Taking into account national and EU legislation, the author analyses the definition and characteristics of the contract, rights and obligations of the contract parties, form of the contract, as well as the liability of travel intermediaries.
Allotment contract is the subject of legal analysis in the third chapter. Prof. Dr. Vujisic thoroughly analyses this contract, its content, types and effects.
The fourth chapter deals with the hospitality services contract, its definition, basic characteristics, obligations of the hospitality service provider and guest, termination of the contract.
The main focus of the fifth chapter is on agency contracts on hospitality services, where the author describes its concept, types, characteristics, content, conclusion and termination of contract, taking into account national and comparative law rules.
Food and drink service contracts are the main subject of the sixth chapter of part two, in particular, the definition of the contract, its conclusion, obligations of the contract parties.
The seventh chapter is dedicated to the timeshare contract, which is thoroughly analyzed through national and comparative law perspectives and respective rules at the EU level. The analysis covers the legal forms of time-sharing, legal mechanisms for the protection of consumer rights, rights and obligations of the contracting parties and termination of contract. The central part of the analysis is dedicated to the legal nature of the timeshare contract.
Overall, the content of this book will certainly be useful for both theory and practice, as it is hard to find such a comprehensive, current and relevant legal material on this topic in Serbia and in the neighbouring countries. The countries of the former Yugoslavia would certainly be interested in this book as they not only share a common legal background and similar problems in practice, but also a common language. Furthermore, they are on the way to sharing a future within the EU (Slovenia and Croatia are already members). This book, therefore, has great practical value in collectting Serbian tourism law rules in the one place, and in facilitating comparative legal analysis in the post Yugoslavian context. It will facilitate identifying similarities and differences between the tourism law rules of the relevant countries, and should make it easier to achieved harmonization of these rules with the acquis communautaire. In addition, the book has significant scientific value, since it, inter alia, contains rules from the Serbian Draft Civil Code and new Package Travel Directive 2015/2302. The first set of rules are yet to be adopted in their final form (which allows the Serbian legislator to complement the Draft Civil Code with the respective package travel rules adopted at EU level) and the latter ones are currently in the process of transposition in the Member States.
In order to further enrich the text, the authors could pro futuro consider including EU passenger’s rights regulations which would cover different means of transport (air, bus, rail, ship). These rules are particularly important for the tourists who buy single services outside of the package. Nevertheless, this book is an excellent legal text which will be useful for both lawyers and non-lawyers and which will also provide students with necessary legal knowledge on current tourism and hospitality rules in Serbia and at EU level.
For all the aforementioned reasons, this book is definitely worth reading. Among other things, it shows that knowlegde and travel go along together. Inexhaustible is the human need for knowledge. Even Aristotle in his Metaphysics noted that “all men are by their nature constantly seeking for knowledge,” which explaines “the importance given to observation, especially visual one“. Eyesight more than any other sence enables cognition. The process of acquiring theoretical knowledge is easier if it is underpinned by the practical one. Journeys and travel have great importance precisely because they helps us learn about new areas, countries, nations, cultures, customs. As Henry Miller once wrote: “Our destination is never a place, but a new way of looking at things.” The man, as being of knowledge, travels (regardeless on the particular motive) with one ultimate aim – to look at things and himself among them in a new way.
Thanks to the books co-authors, Prof. Dr. Dragan Vujisić and Doc. Dr. Andrej Mićović, readers are given the opportunity to “travel“ through the legal “areas” of Tourism Law. Reviewer’s advice is that you should not miss the opportunity to take this inspiring journey.According to the allotment contract (contract for accommodation/catering capacities), the hotel-keeper undertakes the duty to provide a certain number of beds or capacity to the travel agency, to provide services to the travel agency’s guests, and pay a certain commission to the travel agency. In exchange, the travel agency undertakes to make the bookings or notify the hotel-keeper about the impossibility of complying with the contractual terms and to pay the cost of services, if the travel agency used the contracted accommodation. An allotment contract is actually a type of the agency hotel-keeper’s contract related to the booking of specific capacity (certain number of beds or accommodation units) and the ability or inability to cancel the contract. There are two types of allotment contract in comparative law: 1) allotment contract with the (travel agency’s) right of unilateral withdrawal from the contract (the real allotment contract), and 2) allotment contract with the guarantee charge (the allotment contract ”full for empty”). In comparative law, allotment contract as a rule is not regulated in national laws, or in European or international regulations. It is mostly part of customary law or business practices, where it is also subject to two ‘soft law’ codifications of business practices: 1) European ECTAA-HOTREC Code and 2) International IH&RA-UFTAA Code.


No fictional character has been marketing so quickly and so well as Harry Potter.
From the start, Ms. Rowling made sure that she kept a firm grip on her brainchild. In order to make the books appeal to boys (and not be perceived as chick lit), she chose the “masculine” version JK Rowling.
Her main goal is to please her fans. She copied the marketing strategy made popular by politicians and movies stars: give exclusive interviews to carefully selected magazines and newspapers and focus on appearances for fans and readers in benign, controllable settings. She knows that the best sales people are zealous fans.
She is very protective of the Harry Potter brand and makes sure that nothing will delude it. She banned publication of ebooks, which considering the lacking performance of children books in electronic form, is a wise decision.
When she launched "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", Rowling avoided press interviews and opted for a contests and competitions. Her UK publisher sponsored the largest contest; her American publisher ran its own version, dubbed "Why I Love Reading Harry Potter."
Newspapers in Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Canada were used as vehicles to run competitions.
At midnight on the 16th of July 2005, the biggest book launch (of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”) in the history of the written word took place. The concept behind it was, that readers all over the world would buy (and read) the book at the same time, thus cleverly preventing story leaks and bootleg copies. Rowling cleverly whetted the appetite of her readers by hinting at “a death” and promising that “a lot would be made clear”.
Despite all logistic precautions, there was an accidental leak of the latest Potter book in a suburban Vancouver store. The local distributor immediately obtained a Supreme Court injunction, preventing anyone who received a copy from disclosing or copying information about the book. Since this news snippet was all over the media, Harry Potter got a lot of free and effective international PR out of it.
The seventh and last tome in the Harry Potter series will be the grand finale of Rowling’s magical streak. It will be interesting to see how she will maintain and sustain the Harry Potter brand and how she will continue to market the books after the series is finished.

Jung's Red Book
From the Philemon Foundation - "During WWI, Jung commenced an extended self-exploration that he called his “confrontation with the unconscious.” During this period, he developed his principal theories of the collective unconscious, the archetypes, psychological types and the process of individuation, and transformed psychotherapy from a practice concerned with the treatment of pathology into a means for reconnection with the soul and the recovery of meaning in life. At the heart of this endeavor was his legendary Red Book, a large, leather bound, illuminated volume that he created between 1914 and 1930, and which contained the nucleus of his later works. While Jung considered the Red Book, or Liber Novus (New Book) to be the central work in his oeuvre, it has remained unpublished till this day, and unavailable for study and unseen by the public at large. The work can be best described as a work of psychology in a literary and prophetic form. It is possibly the most influential unpublished work in the history of psychology. Its publication is a watershed that inaugurates a new era in the understanding of Jung’s life and work.
"The years … when I pursued the inner images were the most important time of my life. Everything else is to be derived from this. It began at that time, and the later details hardly matter anymore. My entire life consisted in elaborating what had burst forth from the unconscious and flooded me like an enigmatic stream and threatened to break me. That was the stuff and material for more than only one life.
"Everything later was merely the outer classification, the scientific elaboration, and the integration into life. But the numinous beginning, which contained everything, was then.”
— C. G. Jung

Now a "holiday" book review from the New York Times (03 Dec 09) by KATHRYN HARRISON with an exceptionally succinct excerpt quoted below. Read entire review.
"In fact, reading “The Red Book” is like visiting a foreign place of worship. To understand Jung’s text — to meet and listen to the creatures of his unconscious — requires solitude, silence, concentrated effort. At the beginning of the book (which is divided into “Liber Primus,” “Liber Secundus” and “Scrutinies”), Jung rediscovers his soul, alienated while he “had served the spirit of the time.” With it, he embarks on a series of adventures and meets, among others, Elijah, Salome, a serpent and the Devil. The narrative proceeds like a blend of biblical prophecy and dialectic, in places unexpectedly funny, as when, in “The Castle in the Forest,” he encounters a woman from the kind of novels he had “spat on long ago.” “I am truly in Hell,” Jung remarks, “the worst awakening after death, to be resurrected in a lending library!” But the conventional heroine who fills Jung with disgust has something to teach him: what he considers “banal and hackneyed contains the wisdom” he seeks. The heroine trapped in a castle in a forest is an archetype — one that, in this instance, challenges his intellectual snobbery.
"“Individuation” is the word Jung used for the integration of conscious and unconscious required for a person to reach psychological wholeness, an evolved state of being he did not consider within the reach of every person. Rather than breaking with convention, the “insufficiently creative,” as Shamdasani calls them, should remain within the “collective conformity” of society, which encourages us to assume that all cosmologies, all myths and religions, lie without rather than within ourselves. But, as Jung argued, the collective unconscious, even deeper than the personal, is a realm into which we can travel to discover all we contain, making the beauty, terrors and wisdom of the unconscious available to consciousness."

"We should come home from far, from adventures, and perils, and discoveries every day with new experience and character."
~ from Walden Pond by Henry David Thoreau
Lofty though it sounds, if you are blessed to have little children around, daily discoveries and adventures are a certainty if you open your mind, heart, and most importantly, schedule! These adventures are easy because there is so much that is NEW to a child. An obvious example: a trip to the doctor or dentist is it's own adventure and peril!
We adults are constantly in "task" mode, but finding daily discovery can be as simple as moving into "discovery" mode. Sure, you might be at the Library to find age appropriate material for your beginning reader, but there are probably areas of the library you've never been to and that your child doesn't know about. Even your regular grocery store is an exciting challenge if you put the kids in charge of finding the items and having them lead YOU around, instead of "getting the shopping DONE" (task mode) with kids in tow.
This week, shift all of your to-do's to to-discover's and see what adventures, perils, and discoveries are to be had for you and your kids!

A Maqam-e-Iman is a central theme of Dua-i-Qibla and Sufism. As a community, the Mulsims and Qadristani Shias go to a shrine to get the blessings from a local Imam or a qibla. And at the end of the day, the Mulsims and Qadristani Shias visit the tomb of a holy man to gain spiritual blessings and afflictments. Finally, a qibla is attributed to a Moulana (a Sufi holy man) who claims to have been given it by the Lord himself.
According to Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi (1207-1273 CE), the qibla is a physical movement from one place to another. In this respect, a qibla is not a locality, but a movement. In other words, a qibla can be perceived as a direction; a qibla is what we call a path or a direction that we move towards. Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi in a famous verse says: “A qibla is a path, not a locality, whereas a locality is not a path”. He says: “The qibla is a movement from one place to another. The word qibla has to do with the wind. It does not describe any locality.” (Farewell: “The qibla is the movement of the wind. The word qibla has to do with the wind. It does not describe any locality” – Rumi, The Mathnawi of Jalaluddin Rumi: The Classic Texts of Sufism and Renaissance Islam, Volume I, translated and selected by Ibrahim Abu-Lughod, translated from Arabic and revised by Nabil Ath Thabet, translated and annotated by Wa’il S. Wa’il.
Qibla-ul-Hak) is the direction of the minbar (niche) at Jamia Masjid in Yudh Noor(New Delhi), India. It is one of the six qibla or pillars of Islam. According to qibla, the shadow of the hourglass follows the sun, when the shadow changes direction, the qibla changes, as this is when the sun changes direction with the qibla.

In the early industrial revolution, the Mander family entered the vanguard of the expansion of Wolverhampton, on the edge of the largest manufacturing conurbation in the British isles, as entrepreneurs, city fathers and philanthropists. The family had been farming quietly since 1291 on the Warwickshire / Worcestershire borders of Midland England, when Thomas Mander, a younger son, migrated a few miles north to Wolverhampton, then a market town of 7,500 people, in 1742. There he settled as a merchant and manufacturer, and in due course inherited property from his wife's family in John Street which became, just over two hundred years later, one of the first large-scale shopping mall developments in Britain, known as the Mander Centre. A large area of the family agricultural land at Perton, outside Wolverhampton, was developed for housing by the third baronet in the 1970s.
From the outset, as successful manufacturers, the family emerged as active philanthropists. They were noted nonconformists, who married into a network of Dissenter industrial families in the Midlands. They were grave and earnest, but always progressive and public spirited, and became champions in their small way of the religious and social reforms of the early nineteenth century. They financed prolonged litigation personally. One famous Chancery suit surrounding the endowments of the chapel in Wolverhampton lasted 23 years, culminating in the Dissenters Chapels Act of 1844. When Charles Mander rescued two soldiers from the gallows in 1817, his lobbying for reform in the penal code resulted in the abolition of 'Blood Money Act' the following year. The affair became the subject of a Methodist novel by Samuel Warren, Now and Then (1847). The Manders involved themselves wholeheartedly in local and civic affairs, four of them standing at the same time among the first commissioners of the Georgian borough; they campaigned against the slave trade and helped to found free libraries, and chapels, drinking fountains and schools. As they prospered through the nineteenth century, they served as mayors and aldermen, high sheriffs, deputy lieutenants and magistrates, in the yeomanry and in national government.
The family were equally remarkable, living in the same large houses for successive generations, for never throwing anything away, and so accumulating a rich and haphazard archive. The Mander papers include diaries, letters, notes and publications, as well as watercolour sketches, well-kept press-cuttings books of their public lives, photographs and ephemera. They give a well-documented history of their careers as pioneer manufacturers, merchant industrialists and public figures with wide-ranging interests and social contacts over seven or eight generations, against the background of the emergence of modern Britain. Among many publications on the family, Sir Geoffrey Mander's History of Mander Brothers was published in 1955, and the private papers of Samuel Theodore Mander, builder of Wightwick Manor, were published in 1996 as A Very Private Heritage, edited by Patricia Pegg. Charles Nicholas Mander published Varnished Leaves, an extensive biography of the family, in 2004.
The family contributed not only to stolid industry and public life. They produced a modest quota of soldiers, antiquarian scholars, gentleman farmers, artists and writers of distinction, a suffragist and Irish nationalist, even a Hollywood actor, Miles Mander, who married an Indian princess. Invariably, they were cultivated and well read, with opportunities for foreign travel, friendships and marriages, and art collecting.
Manders PLC remained based in Wolverhampton, the town where it was established, into its third century, with interests in paint, property and printing ink. The successful mini-conglomerate was broken up in the 1990s by a career management no longer involved with the family or the city. First the paint and property businesses were sold in 1994. Finally, after 225 years, the core business, by then an international company developing the higher-technology activities of speciality chemicals and coatings, with particular emphasis on printing inks, was sold for £100 million in 1997 to Flint Ink of Detroit, in the United States, so ending a long chapter in the British chemicals industry. The Mander brands survived in the global coatings industry and Manders Premier established itself as one of the world's largest suppliers of coatings and inks, as well as graphic arts products, consumables, and machinery.

We arranged an unforgettable day of sharing for Jeffrey and Jerry that was captured on film and delivered in a custom-made LifeStory Book designed to be handed down to Jeffrey’s 16-year-old daughter and kept for generations.
Here is the story of their day together:
At an early age, you began sharing your love of animals and nature in me. It took a number of years for these seeds to grow, and I still find them sprouting in me when I find the beauty of the world in so many different places. I thank you so much for teaching me to wonder about what the world must look like to a bird in flight.
“If you’re able to live and be happy with your life, no matter how much money you have, then you’re successful. You’ve done well. “
— Jerry Murphy
“I learned more about my Dad, but I think the real value in this experience was that he also got to share something with me. I didn’t expect that he would open up as much as he did on camera about his years in the war and before he met my mom. I’m so glad he did. We now have a beautiful story recorded to pass along to our daughter.”


Gods Strewn Across the Walls.
- Pre-written history: The Northmen (Humans, Halflings and Kender) flee from their Frost Giant slavers in the Lands of Snow and Ice. They traveled southwards and settled on a new continent and named it Norn. The Northmen settled in the area that is now known as Midtenby. Over the next many winters two new settlements were founded: one in the north and one in the south. War raged between the Northmen and the various monstrous species that they encountered. As such, the Northmen began to elect the greatest warriors to lead them and called them Thanes. There were three Thanes: one in the city of the North, one in the city of the South and one in the city of the Middle. A great fleet of Frost Giants comes down from the Lands of Snow and Ice looking to reclaim their former slaves. Half of the ships are destroyed by lightning and wind during a thunderstorm. A large unkindness of Ravens engulf the other ships, pecking out the eyes of the sailors so that the ships would crash upon the rocks. It was here that the Aesir, the Gods, first made contact with the Northmen and declared that Norn was under their protection.
A very long time passes.
- 1 NR (Norn Reckoning): After having lived in Norn for a very long time, the Northmen met the Elves, the Dwarves and the Gnomes who had been forced to flee their home in the Feywild. Recalling their own plight when they fled the Frost Giants, the Northmen declared that this land was a home to all who had lost their own and welcomed they Fey refugees.
From the Elves, the Northmen learned the concepts of time and magic.
From the Dwarves, the Northmen learned to forge tougher metals and brew stronger beer.
From the Gnomes, the Northmen learned to be friends of nature and how to craft intricate devices.
From this point onward, the term Northman ceases to be used and we begin to see the use of the title: “The people of Norn”.
- 25 NR: Hundreds of settlers from Midtenby travel eastwards to found a new settlement in a valley. They are never heard of again.
- 26 NR: A band of warriors head the valley in search of the settlers. There they find that they have become slaves to a group of Mountain Giants. Thus begins the First Giant War.
- 75 NR: With the people of Norn failing to gain the upperhand during the war, they attempt to advance themselves through the use of slave labour and enslaved the Kender and the poor.
- 200 NR: The First Giant War comes to an end when the hero Dale Valleyforge tricks the Giants into leaving, frees the giant’s slaves and creates what is now known as the Valley of Dale. Dale Valleyforge is never seen again.
- 201 NR: The township of Hawksburg is founded.
- 250 NR: The great hero Dale the Liberator decrees that all people of Norn are born equal and abolished the practice of slavery. Dale the Liberator then spends a year in each of the three cities personally challenging anyone who refused to free their slaves. After three years, Dale vanished.
- 251 NR: The Thane of Sydby begins to raid the south and westlands for slaves who were not ‘people of Norn’ and therefore free to be enslaved.
- 356 NR: A great drought begins. Seafood becomes sparse and crops produce a smaller yield.
- 360 NR: After four years of drought Sydby and Nordby have almost emptied their food stores. Midtenby still has stores of grain enough to support themselves but not enough to trade. The Thanes of Nordby and Sydby attack Midtenby for their food and then attack each other over who should get the food.
- 361 NR: After a year of fighting, a great hero defeats (and spares the lives of) the greatest champions from each of the Thanes’ armies. Having shown their dominance, Dale sits the Thanes down and hammer out a peace treaty and a way to ration the remaining food amongst all of the cities. Dale then appoints Haraldur, the mayor of Hawksburg, as the first High King of Norn who would ensure peace and cooperation amongst the three cities.
Hawksburg was suffering just as much as the cities from the drought but instead of trying to take the food of others, Haraldur shared the town’s supply with the Elves and Dwarves in the area. Haraldur’s reign would be a golden one, hence he is referred to as High King Haraldur the Great.
- 501 NR: The last Dragon in the Norn is slain by Dale Dragonsbane.
- 502 NR: The Dwarven Mine of Skarra Durr is abandoned and sealed. No one speaks of what happened. The few Dwarves who were outside of the mine at the time find a new life in Hawksburg.
- 546 NR: 45 years after the last Dragon in Norn was slain by Dale Dragonsbane, a group of nomadic humanoid creatures come down from the Endefjells and arrived at the gates of Nordby. These creatures clearly seemed to have a dracnonic heritage. They called themselves Dragonborn and their prowess in both fighting and drinking earned them a place in the lands of Norn.
- 593 NR: Dale the Monster Hunter becomes the first person to explore Ungeheuermyr
- 642 NR: Dale Hammerhand travels to the bottom of Verdun Ar
- 669 NR: Dale the Lightbringer visits the city of Los Noir in the Norn Underdark.
- 702 NR: First contact between the people of Norn and the Federation takes place at sea. Several poorly chosen remarks are made by the Federation’s envoy in regards to many of the Norn women on board. Jarl Signy returns to Sydby with a severed head adorning the prow of her ship. The Federation wars begin.
- 802 NR: After a century of war both sides agree to peace. Thanks to superior Norn longboats and a new type of bow called a “crossbow” which had been developed by a small Midtenby business, Burleigh and Stronginthearm, no Federation soldier ever set foot on Norn soil. Losses were heavy on both sides however.
- 831 NR: The Druids lose their home to the Goblins. Valenthold becomes Goblinhold.
- 850 NR: Limited trade between Norn and the Ferderation’s mercantile arm, the Vostroiya, begins. Neither side is allowed to step foot on shore.
- 900 NR: High Queen Vigdis travels to the Eastlands at the request of the Federation. It is the first time any Norn person has set foot in the Eastlands since the war. The High Queen travelled with a retinue of 1000 warriors.
- 950 NR: The very first Eastlanders are allowed to set foot in Sydby. The Vostroyia were given permission to build a warehouse and trading office in the city. The movements of Eastlanders is still highly monitored and restricted and they are not allowed to leave the city. Similarly, there is a Norn compound in the Federation city of Worf.

- 1004 NR: The Current Year


So if we excuse the fact that Adf Essentials seem to be an early beta at the moment and focus on the book. It is as I said pretty good.
Oracle Application Development Framework - Wikipedia
Some analogies really made me go: What? But that could be me lacking his background and apart from this the Language is very good and you really can tell that Sten knows his way around Adf and is good at explaining. The book is written so an absolute beginner to Java would understand most of it which is also the way Oracle often pitches Adf. And he even managed to explain the View vs Entity which I have always found a bit odd before. A few things I really disliked with the book are that he gives a default password to use.
And while he does mention default passwords should not be used I find it bad to encourage it by printing a sample password. A better way would have been to teach the reader how to reset the password instead.
Developing Web Applications with Oracle Adf Essentials
Another thing is that he prints CSS rules directly in his code which is another no-no in my book and should not be encouraged. And while I understand that you have to do things like this to make things simple for the reader I personally think it is better to skip sections requiring it since I know most newbies will copy the code as-is not understanding that it is bad practice. On the other had there are also many thing I really enjoyed such as explaining that applications should be split up and how to do it as well as introduce version control systems, logging frameworks, code templates as well as build scripts and many other similar things.
And these are important things which many books leave out.
You may also be interested in...
The book is around pages I read the ePub version and spans eight chapters. It is designed as a tutorial which means you probably want to read it from cover to cover.
I guess some chapters towards the end could be considered self contained. This is a good book for Java beginners wanting to learn Adf Essentials and probably Adf as well the main problem I have with the book is the Essentials part.
That said the book does a good job explaining Adf and how to maneuver the various issues and pitfalls of using Adf with non Oracle technologies. This should be done in automated build process.

This process is same for any other Deployment Profile, but you will need to enable various jar files to be added to WAR file see below. There are various libraries JSF 2. Hence, make sure that following jar files are part of WAR file as shown in above image. Now, build WAR file using deployment profile, place it in webapps folder, and restart Tomcat server.

Look at log files for any errors and act accordingly. Most potential problems will be missing from some Jar file and you will need to include in WAR file using Deployment Profile.
Published at DZone with permission of Rebecca Pruess. See the original article here. Over a million developers have joined DZone. The chapters are easy to read, they follow a tutorial approach and a summary at the end. This is an introductory book, so you won't find what every single property of the framework means, but it does have advance topics such as: how to configure ADF applications to be developed as shared libraries, how to implement security for an ADF Essentials application remember ADF security is not part of ADF Essentials , among others.
From chapters 1 to 4 you will learn the basics of building an Orace ADF Essentials application and whenever there's a different behavior for using MySQL database, you'll get a tip or note clarifying this. You will also get several useful URLs pointing you to other sources of information. On chapters 5 to 8 is where you get the advance training.


In part one
we setup our Raspberry Pi, installed Mono, and ran our first C# program.
In part two, we will connect a Relay to the Pi and turn it on/off using .NET. Listed below are what you will need to complete part two, in addition to the hardware/software you used in part one.
- PiSharp Raspberry Pi GPIO Library for .NET
First, we will make sure the Pi is turned off and the power cord is disconnected. You can shut down the Pi by running the command below.
sudo shutdown now
Wait for the green LED of the Pi to stop blinking (the red LED will stay on) and then unplug the power.
We are now ready to connect jumper wires to the Raspberry Pi. Identify the GPIO pins we will use for this experiment, locate the 5V pin, the ground (you can select any ground pin, I am using the one closest to the 5V pin), and pin 23 (I am using pin 23 for signal, you are free to select another pin).
Connect the jumper wires to the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins as shown on the image below. Don’t worry about the color of the wires.
Go ahead and connect the jumper wires from the Raspberry Pi to the breadboard. The 5V wire will go to the red row (+), the ground wire will go to blue row (-), and the pin 23 wire can go to any row except the red or the blue rows. I am using row f.
Get the Relay and identify the pins.
Connect another 3 jumper wires to the Relay.
Connect the Relay jumper wires to the breadboard. The wire from the ground pin will go to the (-) pin of the Relay, the wire from the 5V pin will go to the (+) pin of the Relay, and the wire from pin 23 will go to the Signal pin of the Relay.
You will now download Pi#, PiSharp is a Raspberry Pi GPIO Library for .NET, download it from here
After you download Pi# unzip it, open the Visual Studio solution located in the src folder, and build the solution. After build succeeds right click on the PiSharp.LibGpio project, open Folder in File Explorer. Browse to the bin/Debug folder, locate the PiSharp.LibGpio.dll file, and copy it. You will add this .dll to your project.
Start new instance of Visual Studio and create new Console project. I am naming my project GaragePi.NET.
Create new folder, name it PiSharpRef, and paste the PiSharp.LibGpio.dll you copied from the PiSharp solution.
Right click on References and add the PiSharp.LibGpio.dll file. Be sure to use the file located in the PiSharpRef folder.
Add the below using statements to the Program class.
Add the below code to the main method and build the project.
The first line will set the pin 23 to Output. Inside the while loop, we will set pin 23 to high (on) wait for 2 seconds, set pin 23 to low (off), and wait another two seconds. This will be repeated until we exit the program.
We will now go to the Pi and test our experiment. Connect the power cord to the Pi and wait for the Pi to start. After the Pi is up and running, start PuTTY and login to your Pi.
Start WinSCP and login to the Pi. From your local machine locate the debug folder of the GaragePi.NET project and drag it to the pi folder of the Raspberry Pi.
Go back to the Pi and run the GaragePi.NET.exe program.
sudo mono Debug/GaragePi.NET.exe
The Relay will now make clicking sound and the red LED will turn on/off. Congratulations, you can now turn appliances on/off using Raspberry Pi and your .NET skills.
To quit the program press Ctrl + C.
Go to Part Three


When I started blogging in 2013 (at Between the Covers), I was into ALL THE THINGS. I did reading challenges, readathons, readalongs, and all that stuff. But that was before I went back to work and back to school, so I had a lot of free time. And I ended up getting tired of reading things specifically for reading challenges instead of reading whatever the f*ck I wanted (which started a whole “Read Whatever the F*ck I Want” thing with my friend sj, heh).
Now that I’m blogging again, I want to get back into the book blogging community, so I’ve decided to do a couple of reading challenges this year, with one caveat: I’m not going to wear myself out trying to find books that fit into the challenges. I’m kind of interested to see if the stuff I choose to read just happens to fit into those challenges, so that’s what I’m going to do. There might be times when I seek out certain books to fit the challenges, but I’m not going to go out of my way all year to do that. Then I’ll just see how it turned out at the end of the year.
With that said, I am going to “join” the 2020 Popsugar Reading Challenge, and the Around the Year in 52 Books challenge that is based in a group on Goodreads. We’re also doing a 52 Books in 52 Weeks challenge at the library for our patrons, but I’m joining that one informally because I’m staff (and I always read more than 52 books in a year).
I’m just going to wing it and see what happens, but I’m looking forward to it just the same.
Are you joining any reading challenges in 2020? Which one(s)? Let me know in the comments!

REVIEWS: "This past week I was so fortunate to enjoy three performances of “Dawn of the Dinosaurs” written, composed, and narrated by the extraordinarily gifted Bob Diven. This is a stunning piece of work by this fresh young artist, cartoonist, actor, composer.....a perfect mix of really good music, well researched story line on a level that can be readily consumed by 4th graders or senior citizens......just enough wry, cerebral humor to maintain the interest of the most sophisticated audience.....just enough graphic presentation of quasi “Jurassic Park” pictures and sounds to fascinate youngsters....enough reference to our planet to be important...light enough to be delightfully entertaining. Don’t miss it!!" -- Dr. William Clark
"Bob Diven's "Dawn of the Dinosaurs" is a refreshing orchestral work geared toward youth and family concerts. The crossover of narration, music and visuals inspired and educated the audience. The kids "loved" it!" -- Lonnie Klein, Conductor, Las Cruces Symphony Orchestra

At St Benet’s one of our special rooms and places to go to is Caroline’s Library, a library named and erected in memory of a past pupil, Caroline Theobald. Caroline was a beautiful girl who enjoyed her time at school immensely. She was bubbly, friendly, helpful and loved every minute of her time at St Benet’s. She was a buddy to one of our pupils, Jessica and would make sure that she and her friends were happy during their time at school.
Sadly when Caroline was in Year 6 at St Benet’s, she died very suddenly one night. This was a heart breaking time for her family and our community as we had suffered a great loss in such devastating circumstances. With our caring and supportive ethos, we were all there to support each other and Caroline’s family through such dark days.
A symbol which we cherish to represent Caroline is a rainbow. During this difficult loss, a poem was shared about rainbows which brought comfort to all at this time. Our Friends of St Benet’s and the wider community, along with support from Caroline’s family, planned and devised a special place, which we now call Caroline’s Library.
With Caroline’s love of rainbows, our library was constructed with multicolours and a rainbow carpet. The rainbow begins as you enter Caroline’s Library and it ends in the corner, where you will find a beautifully constructed stained-glass window.
Such window has a star in the top right corner with ‘Caroline Friend Forever’ written inside it. At the bottom of the window are mini stars where each child who was in Caroline’s cohort, wrote a memory or a gift that Caroline shared. The stars’ inscriptions speak of the depth of love and remembrance that friends and family have for Caroline.
Our library is a sacred place; a place to remember Caroline and a place of worship where we hold weekly Mass and liturgies. It is a place of reflection and a place of peace.
Daily lessons including Read, Write, Inc sessions happen in Caroline’s library as well as class library time where we borrow and read books. It is situated at the heart of our school, in the centre, to show the importance that each and every child in our school holds for us and our community.
We remember our angel, Caroline on October 24th each year and every time we see a rainbow in the sky, above our school, we know that Caroline is smiling down on us.


Ancient history of Questa
The Questa area has shown evidence of habitation from as early as the Paleo-Indian Clovis, then Folsom people. Around 5000 BC, as temperatures warmed, permanent settlements seem to have moved into our area following the movements of big game. Since then, however, the region lacked permanent settlements for many centuries, though the area remained a crossroads for hunting and trading between the Native Pueblo people (as the later Spanish speakers referred to them) to the south and the Plains nations to our north and east.
Early life and conflict north of Taos
Francisco Vasquez de Coronado may have been the first Spanish visitor to the area, traveling through here in 1540. In 1592 or 1593, more Spanish came through, following rumors of gold. Reports tell us that many did not survive. The next century saw turmoil as newcomers attempted to settle in areas already important to Native Americans, and wealthier newcomers enslaved Natives to work in diverse roles, including as miners. This continued until the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 which cast the Spanish out of New Mexico.
The Spanish soon returned in even greater numbers, and the Indian wars continued. Around 1800, the Spanish militia came north with settlers and established a secure enough (relatively speaking) atmosphere, and a few tentative settlements were founded in this area. Hispanic settlers from Taos began moving north seeking new grazing land for sheep and goats. By then some French trappers had found the region, and the first U.S. military explorations were also taking place.
Although settlements in this location were documented several different times in the early 1800s, new residents were vulnerable to deadly conflict for generations. Several times, all residents abandoned the area.
New settlers in a region this remote seem to have little attachment to the country they belonged to, beyond the simple desire for official protection from Indian conflict. The settling of Questa fell under three different nationalities. The first land grant from the King of Spain was issued in the area in 1815 during the Mexican War of Independence (1810 to 1821). In 1846, the U.S. declared war on Mexico. New Mexico became a U.S. territory in 1850.
The San Antonio del Rio Colorado land grant (basically the land that is now the village of Questa) was initially requested from what was at the time Mexico, in 1841. Questa was not officially founded until 1842. This was in a period after the Mexican revolution, and after the Spanish had pulled out of the area, taking their military and priests with them, and just prior to the area falling under U.S. claim.
*See our trail signs #4 and #6 for more insight into how residents held their faith.
Who came here, to Questa?
While predominantly Hispanic, a sampling of names of some of Questa’s historic families illustrates the multi-national origins of the settlers. These included French, German, Spanish, as well as those descended from Conversos/crypto-Jews who had fled the Inquisition in Europe. (Read more of their fascinating history HERE). Some of the earliest family names in Questa were: Rael, Cisneros, Ortiz, Armenta, LaForet, Kronig, Cruz, Beubien, Vigil, Trujillo, and Gallegos, to name a few. Local oral history tells us of many Native family members as well. Let us know what you’ve heard about your family’s roots in Questa by taking part in our related Oral History project at the Questa Stories website, HERE.
A wall built around the historic plaza area offered some protection to the fledgling settlement of sheep farmers and traders, and allowed for a stability the original populations had not enjoyed. While the wall is no longer in evidence, Questa’s thick-walled adobe church has stood at the center of the original plaza since the mid-1800s.
Find more information on Trail sign #4.
The last century until today
The close of the 19th century saw an end to the Indian wars. In the early 1900s, the molybdenum mine, now owned by Chevron, was founded and became an important employer in the area. Find more information about Questa mining on Trail sign #8. The arrival of the railroad just to our north, over the Colorado border, had begun to end the long-term trade and barter economy, as more mass manufactured goods became available in the region.
Questa weathered the Great Depression with the aid of the WPA that employed Questeños to build the Red River Fish Hatchery to our south and an elementary school, La Cienega School, on the east side of the village. Traditional sheep herds have mostly been replaced by small herds of cattle. Alfalfa, hay, and winter wheat are still grown, and some grain and even cattle are certified to supply a growing market for organic goods.
Many of the same families who built this town continue to lead the village of Questa.

The Socio-Legal Review, published by the Law & Society Committee of the National Law School of India University has put out the following call for submission. Submission guidelines maybe accessed over here, while past issues of the journal can be accessed on its website over here.
The Socio-Legal Review (SLR) is a student-edited, peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal published by the Law and Society Committee of the National Law School of India University, Bangalore. SLR aims to be a forum that involves, promotes and engages students and scholars to express and share their ideas and opinions on themes and methodologies relating to the interface of law and society. The Journal thus features guest articles by eminent scholars as well as student essays, providing an interface for the two communities to interact. From 2012, SLR has become a biannual publication from an annual publication.
The Journal subscribes to an expansive view on the interpretation of “law and society” thereby keeping its criteria for contributions simply that of high academic merit, as long as there is a perceivable link. This would include not just writing about the role played by law in social change, or the role played by social dynamics in the formulation and implementation of law, but also writing that simply takes cognizance of legal institutions/institutions of governance/administration, power structures in social commentary, and so on. Through this effort, the Journal also hopes to fill the lacunae relating to academic debate on socio-legal matters among law students.

My Review: Penny Reid has been gifted with exceptionally adept word skills. She has crazy good word voodoo - every time I read one of her fabulous books I want to stop time and read everything she has ever written all over again. Her style is unique, fresh, thoughtfully insightful, observant, crisp, remarkably clever, delightfully witty, deliciously steamy, and extremely addictive. More, and please hurry! Marie and Matt are wonderful people with interesting jobs. She's a journalist and he's a computer science professor.
In this book, both are focusing on companionship as their subjects. She's consulting different things like cuddle groups, and he's collecting dating data for a computer program. Every situation is like a fascinating adventure. I loved the journey, falling in love with them as they did. Their romance stands out. It's quirky and sincere. I adore how intelligent and real these characters are. Marie is a total sweetheart, and Matt completely won me over. He's a little awkward socially sometimes, which makes him more endearing.
He's a heartthrob who doesn't know his own appeal, which is extremely enticing. They have cute discussions and sexy connecting. I definitely recommend Dating-ish. I am a bit of a nerd and I'm very picky about what I read. Romance novels are great, but sometimes they are a bit lacking in character development and are too simple overall.

A project in Zend Studio is simply a root folder.
Assuming that the boundaries of the folders subtree delimit internal code is accurate for almost any project at its beginnings, but as time goes by, limitations arise. For example, version and documentation files are not to be considered part of the code of the project.
Zend Studio overcomes those issues by means of the Build Path concept, so that only code that is reachable through the Build Path is internal code. The build Path is then used by Zend Studio for knowing what code to validate. In fact, if you want to exclude some code from the validation check, you have to exclude that code from the Build Path.
Related to the Build Path concept is the Include Path concept. The magic behind “Navigate/ Open Declaration” succeeds for any code that is reachable through the Include Path. If you exclude some code from the Build Path, sooner or later you’ll discover that “Navigate/ Open Declaration” fails for any excluded code. The solution is to add that code as an external source folder.
All of the above makes sense if you consider how Build Path and Include Path are set up. The Build Path is by default anything inside the root folder of the project, and the Include Path is always at least the Build Path. These settings make a standard / simple project work without added configuration. If a project needs fine tuning, then internal code can be defined changing the Build Path, and external code can still be referenced changing the Include Path.
- the Build Path defines what is the internal code (by default the project subtree)
- the Include Path defines what is the code context (always internal code + external code)
- if you exclude something from the Build Path, chances are that you need to add that something to the Include Path as an external source folder
The build process of Zend Studio finds issues in code from third parties that you host in a library folder of your project. There are so many issues that you can’t easily see your own, and you can’t solve those issues because you want to use third party code “as is”, so that when a new version of that code is available you can simply drop it in place. The solution here is to exclude the library folder from the Build Path and add it to the Include Path as an external source folder.
The above picture shows that the Build Path of a project includes all but the library folder.
The above picture shows that the Include Path of the same project lists the library folder as an external source folder.

The following samples of dialogue were taken from I*EARN's computer teleconference on the Holocaust (iearn.hgp). The Holocaust/Genocide Project's on-line conference houses many different discussions on a variety of topics.
This portion of the discussion of the Holocaust deals with the books MAUS and MAUS II, written by Art Spiegelman, and the reactions they evoked [in those who read them]. This discussion is being introduced to you by a U.S. History class in Shorewood High School, Seattle, Washington. We invite you to participate in this debate. Please understand that the reactions you are [about] to read were written by students who have read these books. We hope that you will be able to enjoy these short writings, the purpose of which is to stimulate thought on what it was like for someone to have gone through this period. D. Ratner, T. Patrick, and D. Reynard Shorewood High School, Washington United States
In the comic book MAUS, Art Spiegelman teaches the reader about the Holocaust and what horrible things, like the concentration camps, the Jews had to go through. Also, he teaches us to never forget what happened in the Holocaust. He chose to represent the people in that way because humans can [be] cruel, as can animals. He picked the mice to represent the Jews because mice are helpless, and they cannot defend themselves like most other animals can. He chose to represent the Germans with cats because they control the fate of the mice. I think the format is very good because it lets you see what really happened to the people during the Holocaust. I think having this book in comic form catches peoples' attention so that they want to read it. I know that I liked reading this more in comic book form rather than in book form. In the story, when Art talks to his dad about the concentration camps, and when his father gets one of his friends a pair of shoes and a belt, I thought that that part was expressed in a very good way. It showed what people had to go through just for their basic rights. Art's father was luckier than most because a lot of people did not make it out alive and [their] whole families were completely wiped out. Courtney Kapp Shorewood High School, Washington United States
The serious comic book MAUS, written by Art Spiegelman, shows how cruel the Nazis were to Jews, just because of their religion or how they looked. Hitler was for an Aryan nation, but he had brown hair and brown eyes. [He] was a selfish, idiotic murderer with double standards. This story shows the reader that the Jews had nowhere to go and that they were always living in fear of being caught. They never knew if they would even live until dinner, or if they would have any. MAUS teaches that the Holocaust greatly impacted the survivors in many negative ways. For example, Art's father is so frugal; it may be because he had to conserve his food in the Nazi camps and he did it for so long that it's now habit.
The Jews are represented by mice, Poles by pigs, Germans by cats, and Americans by dogs. I think the reason Art Spiegelman portrayed people of different countries as certain animals is that cats eat mice, dogs chase away cats, and some Poles of that era were pigs for letting the Nazis do what they did. Art Spiegelman's format is very effective. When something is in comic book form, I want to read it. It's a lot more entertaining than reading a pictureless book. When you see the character during the entire book it's as if you know the person, like you are there. Matthew Lehde Shorewood High School, Washington United States
In the comic book MAUS, Art Spiegelman shows the reader what people, mostly Jews, went through during the Holocaust. Art Spiegelman shows through his comic book that the Holocaust was a time of great pain and suffering that will live on in people's minds forever. He shows the reader, in steps, the reactions of the people who were forced to live in the camps. I learned a lot more about the Holocaust through reading [MAUS] than any other reading or lecture. Now I realize that the Holocaust just wasn't bad; it was something so tremendous that it had a great effect on anyone who survived it. Throughout MAUS, it was portrayed that it was awful to be killing so many people and treating them like animals. I think that is why Spiegelman chose to represent people as animals. He represents mice as Jews because they were experimented on as if they were mice. Pigs are supposed to be Poles because they "stunk." They were so under Hitler's command that they didn't care what happened to the Jews. The Poles turned their backs on the Jews after living with them for so long. The characters couldn't have been portrayed better; it was perfect. Spiegelman writes so that he keeps his readers informed and fulfilled, so that they will want to read on. I wanted to keep reading because I was intrigued to find out what would happen next. I think the idea of a comic book was a brilliant one because it grabs people's attention. It's something unusual for this kind of subject and that's what makes it such a terrific one. The Holocaust's survivors were damaged for life; it seems that they have and will continue to remember it very vividly. MAUS really makes people stop and think about how the Holocaust was. I thought that Spiegelman did the best job on explaining the Holocaust, that it was one of the best pieces of literature I've ever read about the Holocaust. Shannon White Shorewood High School, Washington United States
Art Spiegelman used animals to portray the image of superiority given to us by Hitler. He used the mice for Jewish people to show how Hitler viewed them as inferior. The Germans were given to us as cats, the most feared creature for the mouse. The way Hitler saw [it], the Germans were the [most] superior race on the planet. Later in the book, Spiegelman brought the Americans in as dogs, a species of animals that constantly wreaks havoc upon the cat. The book was well written by Spiegelman, and I enjoyed the way he displayed the characters. He efficiently used the characters to paint a realistic image of what the Holocaust was really like. I honestly felt as if it was almost a part of me after completing the book, and it even gave me the thought of tears after the end. I enjoyed the book in this format as it allows the author/writer to let his readers see the experience as he did, as told to Speigelman by his father. I especially liked it when, and how, he used the scenes of him and his father talking, to show how he was similar, and yet different, to the Vladek of the Holocaust. I wish people in today's literary world would try to use this technique of writing more often, so that I might better follow the story written by the author. Ken Perkins, Shorewood High School, Washington United States
I read with interest some of the discussion about MAUS and MAUS II. One person had said that MAUS was disturbing, and one must read MAUS II in order to appreciate them both. I posted some thoughts [in the teleconference]. I found MAUS to be interesting and not at all offensive or insensitive. One thing I did was to read it very slowly so I could "hear" the father speaking. Perhaps I have heard others speaking English as their second language and didn't let the poor grammar get in the way of the genuine feelings and ideas. I feel empathy for the son who is trying to get along with his father the best he can, but his best is never enough for his father. And his father is unreasonably rigid; I have seen this characteristic in some people in my life as they grow older. Perhaps the last generation's attitudes linked to living through the "Depression" is the closest thing to the things that the father clings to in MAUS. Economizing and recycling are not new ideas, but they certainly are evident in the father in these two books. MAUS was full of details (drawings, words, events) tying together things that I had read and heard from various sources. To me it was a vivid web, tying facts and emotions into one sad story. I read MAUS II on the trip back from Israel. It allows the reader to be privy to some of the anguish and doubts Spiegelman went through in trying to write the story of his father and mother in order to share their experiences in the Holocaust. Because much of the text is Art's and/or his wife's thoughts or dialogue, it is in more standard English, and I found it much faster reading. The pictures and story line reinforced so many things that I saw in Poland: e.g., the bunk beds, the incredibly harsh treatment by others, the crematoriums, etc. I think MAUS II does a good job of showing how much resourcefulness, luck, and willpower were needed to survive during the Holocaust. It also drives home how dedicated Art is to getting his father' s story down, even though it is not a priority to his father. And Art struggles to keep his own life from being bogged down by the demands of his father. I admire him for trying to capture his father's story, for trying to meet many of his father's needs, and for resisting the guilt trip his dad kept trying to lay on him. Art and Francoise (his wife) knew that trying to please the old man by living with him after Mala left would destroy their lives; no matter how much they cared, they knew it wasn't for the best. Perhaps I can understand this aspect better because I am now an adult dealing with parents on a different level than when I was a teenager. QUESTION: Teens, do you agree or disagree with me on this last statement? One constant in these books is that the children of survivors are "survivors" themselves and have a whole set of needs and emotional obstacles that should be recognized as valid in themselves. Survivors also must live with the fact that others died and they did not. During my recent Poland/Israel trip, I was reminded of both of these time and time again as each Israeli I talked to had his/her own link to those who perished in the Holocaust. It impacts their lives in a real and personal way and they each find a way to deal with it. The memorial ceremonies we held at the Holocaust sites were emotionally hard. (The short novel that follows the short story in "The Shawl" also deals with the difficulty of living as a survivor.)
After getting used to the characters, the only times I even noticed that Spiegleman used animals for his characters were when he briefly showed his characters as having masks on. I know this was done deliberately, and I would be interested in other's thoughts on it. I think a natural pecking order was suggested by the use of mice, dogs, cats, pigs, dog, and frogs. But I read the story as if it were people and found many parallels with people I've known. I also thought his artistic expression and layout techniques were unusual at times and always very effective and worth studying for that alone!

This is a collection of contemporary documents published between 1780 and 1855 which relate to the mills and their work.
This advertisement appeared in the Nottingham Journal in 1780. It refers to the need for workers at the Papplewick mills – either Top Mill or Old Mill. Interestingly it attempts to attract men with families – who could also work at the mills.
In 1795 Walter Evans of Dailey Abbey wrote to the Robinsons. It gives an interesting insight into working practices of the day.
Source: Fitton & Wadsworth (1958) “The Strutts and Arkwrights 1758— 1830”
This advertisement appeared in the Nottingham Journal in 1831. It advertises an auction of small machinery to take place at the mills, now that they have closed.
This advertisement appeared in the Nottingham Journal in 1834. It advertises another auction of equipment to take place at the mills.
In White’s Directory of 1844 (p.486) we are told that
Thomas Bailey’s “A handbook of Newstead Abbey”
published in 1855, (p. 35), noted that the mills were still standing, though unoccupied.
