In 2015, organizers from the Movement for Black Lives issued an appeal that the month of February, fêted as Black History Month since the 1960s, be celebrated as Black Futures Month. Their call was an invitation for us to travel through space-time to a destination we have yet to reach: a time and a place where Black people—where all oppressed people, everywhere—are free.
Black healers’ work affirms Black life where the dominant system does not. Remembrances of such healers offer us crucial examples of what can be; their work serves as living, breathing proof of how we can care for one another. Celebrations this month are an opportunity to acknowledge Afro-descended people’s contributions and imagine the day when Black history is understood as American history. In order to see the path to this future, we must first reckon with the past and locate ourselves in the present.
As Afro-diasporic people living in nation-states that were built upon the stolen labor of our ancestors, but have nonetheless been blessed with our brilliance—and continually held accountable by our struggles for liberation—the practice of self-determination approaches speculative endeavor. Understanding our past engagement with plants to attend to the needs of the body allows us to travel in time and celebrate our ancestors in equal measure.
Emma Dupree — Community Herbalist (1897–1996)
Dupree was born in North Carolina in 1897, the second-to last of eighteen children, to parents who had been enslaved. Nicknamed “little medicine thing,” she showed a penchant for healing herbs from an early age. In a 1979 documentary about Dupree produced by East Carolina University’s School of Medicine, we see the herbalist leading a visitor around her herb garden, identifying plants, sharing remembrances of the people she healed and details of how to prepare various remedies. At one point, Dupree picks a small bunch of White Mint and buries her face in its leaves. Her demeanor, already quite lively, shifts into a perceptively higher octave. She smiles, brightening as she relates the plant’s powers as a mood elevator. Dupree’s practice and her relationship with herbs are a testament to the intimate connection between the human body and the vital, life-giving essence of plants.
Margaret Charles Smith — Midwife (1906–2004)
Born in 1906, Margaret Charles Smith was present for the birth of more than 3,000 babies in her long career as an Alabama midwife. Many of those she tended were poor and disenfranchised Black women weigh extremely limited access to care. Smith supported folks who had nothing to pay, or who could only compensate her through modest trades. Alabama outlawed midwifery in 1976. Smith’s own mother died three weeks after giving birth to her. She relied on an arsenal of healing plants to ensure that no one under her care would suffer the same fate. Her work embodies a sentiment from the members of the Combahee River Collective, a group of radical Black feminists who, in 1977 wrote that “if Black women were free, it would mean that everyone else would have to be free since our freedom would necessitate the destruction of all the systems of oppression.”
Lauren Oya Olamina — Fictional Character
As the protagonist of Octavia Butler’s novel The Parable of the Sower, Lauren Oya Olamina’s journey with plants demonstrates that building relationships with what is growing around deepens our ability to aid our comrades in struggle. Lauren comes of age in a Los Angeles that Butler sets at some point in the 2020s, under political conditions disturbingly similar to our own—followers of a jingoist political leader named Jarret menace people they consider outsiders, in an effort to bring his sinister vision into being. Against this disturbing tableau, her study of native plants becomes central to her survival preparations should her small gated community be besieged by fiendish mobs of the desperate people prowling its barbed wire perimeter. Throughout the book, Lauren’s intimate knowledge of plants ensures the survival of those she cares for again and again.
As we work toward the day when we are all transported to a literal or figurative garden, where we can stand with the sun shining on our faces, and a bundle of aromatic mint in which to bury our noses, we can look to these figures, real and imagined, as inspiration for our continued struggle.

About Rosal- One More Mystery
in Lladró Production
by Peggy Whiteneck
I first heard about this brand from a collector, then later found a reference
to it on the official NAO web site, where it is identified as a sort of
precursor brand for the NAO collection.
This picture of two essentially identical (save for
the books at the base of the figure on the right) models of a girl in smock
have that unmistakable elongated style of old Lladró. The item with
the books at right is marked Rosal (impressed mark); the one at left has an
impressed NAO mark. (Photo courtesy of Gene Woods.)
Then, in 2002, José Lladró, the middle of the three founding
and by many accounts the business brains behind the company, came out with
a memoir whose English-language edition is titled Passenger of Life; Memories
and Opinions of an Entrepreneur (Spain: Editorial Planeta, 2002). In
a chapter called "A Providential Conflict,"
Lladró describes how, "in the mid-sixties,"
two (!) of Lladró's sculptors and one of its chemists turned renegade and
struck out to establish their own competing factory in Chirivella.
(Ironically, one of the oft-told tales of Lladró's company history
is of the three young Lladró brothers striking out to form their own
porcelain works after
a labor dispute with their employer, another ceramic factory. So it would
have been surprising if at least a couple of Lladró's own
employees hadn't taken a leaf from this famous legend.)
Despite his claim that this upstart company produced debased versions of
Lladró products, José Lladró's account makes it clear
the brothers saw these products
as a genuine threat. By his account, the brothers decided to
fight fire with fire, setting up their own rival brand to go head to head
with the renegade company (a rival that José Lladró, unfortunately
but probably deliberately, does not name). This new brand was named Rosal
because, according to José Lladró, the brothers wanted to avoid
dragging the Lladró name into an ugly competitive fracus.
And an ugly competitive fracus it apparently became, including a messy law-suit in
which Lladró prevailed and ended up buying out the renegade company.
To quote José Lladró, "That company turned out to be unimportant to us and closed
down shortly afterwards" (José Lladró, p. 98). Rosal, meanwhile, "became the seed of what today
is Nao, our second brand" (José Lladró, p.99).
Because Rosal wasn't intended (at least
at its inception) as a permanent brand, it was initially identified
only with a sticker (above left), bearing a simple stylized
leaf logo and the name "Rosal." Use of the Spanish word
for the country of origin (ESPAÑA) would indicate that, consistent
with the limited purpose of the brand, these items were not
meant for export to the U.S., where import laws have long required
that the country of origin be identified in English.
From a collecting standpoint, the Rosal brand may provide an
explanation for why there seem to be so many unmarked but known NAO
models circulating on the secondary market. It now seems probable that
at least some of
these catalogued but unmarked items are earlier Rosal versions from which
the sticker has been lost. The inherently
temporary nature of stickers would also explain why relatively few Rosal
items explicity attributable as such are seen today.
Recently, however, collector Robert E. (Gene) Woods
sent me a picture (above right)
of the simple impressed mark that appears on the
base of at least two of the Rosal items in his own collection, which might
indicate that, at a certain point, the Lladró company began to envision
Rosal's potential as a more permanent brand.
Subsequently, collector Jose Juan Nadal Cuesta sent me the photo here of a Rosal
squirrel, which also has an impressed Rosal mark.
A Collector's Book of Retired Lladró
by Peggy Whiteneck
Old Line Publishing, LLC
The publisher for this book has ceased publication, and I am now at work on a revised
and expanded edition, with a couple of promising leads for a new publishing option.
For the moment, then, this book will only be available on the retail market from
advance-ordered stock. You can still buy it used - but avoid the scalpers
and DO NOT PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR THESE SECOND-HAND BOOKS! There are plenty of
reasonably priced secondary market copies still available at online book sellers. Stay tuned to
this site for future news on the revised edition!
Ever since its founding in the 1950s and its subsequent, stellar rise to global prominence,
collectors have been fascinated with the singular modeling and attention to detail in
Lladró Spanish porcelain figurines. Eventually, collectors discovered that Lladró
wasn't just one brand, but several. At the same time, other companies began to sprout up all
over Spain, particularly around Lladró's own region in Valencia, working
"in the Lladró style" and hoping to catch a ride on the tailwinds of its popularity.
This book is written to acquaint readers with retired figurines in all the Lladró and
Lladró-affiliated brands and to help distinguish them from the work of other Spanish
companies. The book features substantive chapters on the Lladró "core brand,"
NAO by Lladró, Zaphir, Golden Memories, Rosal, and Hispania, complete with
representative photos for each brand.

Branch will protect members interests as Council confirms Devon libraries to become ‘mutual’
Devon’s library service is to be turned into an independent organisation in a bid to save £1.5m over the next two years. Councillors have approved plans for a community-owned “mutual” that would be commissioned by Devon County Council to run the service on its behalf.
Commenting on the Council’s announcement, Andy Bowman, Chair of UNISON Devon County Branch, said: “The authority could cut back the amount of money it pays for the ‘mutual’ library service, forcing it to cut back on the number of libraries and staff.
“It’s abdicating its responsibility to this new body and distancing itself from the bottom line decisions as to who has jobs and what libraries stay.
“As ever, we’ll be closely watching how things progress to ensure our members best interests are protected.”

plastic in paradisumplastic in paradisum (2016) is a catalogue of discarded plastic objects recovered from a beach at Dead Horse Bay in Brooklyn, NY.
For each object in the catalogue, I did in-depth research about its origin and constructed a 3D model/portrait. The catalogue is a reflection on the social meaning we confer on these objects over time: How did these objects come to be considered “trash” or “waste”? What are the images and rituals of consumption? How have cultural attitudes toward waste resulted in an ocean that contains plastic?
See the website and archive of found plastic objects here.
For each object I collected, I used an experimental imaging technique called photogrammetry to reconstruct a 3D model of each object. Using Agisoft 3D software, I was able to extract 3D information from 2D photographs through a process of aligning the photos, creating dense clouds and vertexes, and generating the textures. The resulting 3D models were uploaded to the open source platform SketchFab.
The slow, physical ritual of “cataloging” the discarded objects— scanning the beach for plastic, picking up each object, washing and scrubbing them one by one, taking between 50-100 photographs of the plastic, researching the plastic material and origin— has revealed a history and a life for each object.


Today’s guest brit is author Sara Wheeler. After I read Apsley Cherry-Garrard’s stunning account of the South Polar treks of 1912 in ‘The Worst Journey in the World,’ I wanted to ‘meet’ him you might say. The only effective way to do that outside of his own words is in Sara Wheeler’s biography of him.
Wheeler recognizes that the quintessential element of British wit and prose is irony, and she uses it liberally. Her Wikipedia entry sums it up pretty well–
“Sara Wheeler was brought up in Bristol and studied Classics and Modern Languages at Brasenose College. After writing about her travels on the Greek island of Euboea and in Chile, she was accepted by the US National Science Foundation as their first female writer-in-residence at the South Pole, and spent seven months in Antarctica. She successfully claimed the cost of a mandatory syphilis test against tax. In her resultant book Terra Incognita: Travels in Antarctica, she mentioned sleeping in the captain’s bunk in Scott’s Hut. Whilst in Antarctica she read The Worst Journey in the World, an account of the Terra Nova Expedition, and she later wrote a biography of its author Apsley Cherry-Garrard“.
She appreciates Cherry’s sophistication and notes how difficult it must have been for him to communicate with those whose sense of irony was not as developed as his own. Reading ‘Cherry ‘ rounds out the obsession that started when I picked up Beryl Bainbridge’s ‘The Birthday Boys.’ The one book I’ve had a hard time coming to: Captain Scott’s own journal. The centennial of his death is this week, March 29. We know that date because Scott wrote in his log until he could no longer hold the pen. I’ve feared reading its last words and knowing what they mean–the tragic nothingness that follows. But through Wheeler’s book, you see that the real pain is for the survivor.
Today’s Brit is another hero from the centenary of South Pole exploration. Another member of the team that died with Scott in late March 1912, Edward Adrian Wilson was a self-taught artist, a physician, and head scientist and zoologist of the expedition. Wilson led the infamous 130-mile Winter Journey from the base camp to the breeding grounds of the Emperor penguin in the complete dark and terrifying cold of the Antarctic winter. The Holy Grail he sought was a freshly laid egg of an Emperor penguin, hypothesized to hold evidence of the missing evolutionary link between reptiles and birds. As seen above, Wilson would sketch in sub-zero temperatures by day and transform his notes and sketches into full watercolor paintings in the warmth of the group hut by evening.
Today’s Brit is a true hero, a newly discovered hero to me, who furthered science, literature, and the human spirit considerably. He is Apsley Cherry-Garrard, a member of Robert Falcon Scott’s expedition to Antarctica from 1910 to 1913. The end of this month marks the 100th anniversary of the tragic end to Scott’s quest for the South Pole–all 5 of the party who trekked to the pole died on the return journey from cold, starvation and exhaustion. Cherry-Garrard was not among them and, hence, lived to tell the tale in the form of his wonderful book, ‘The Worst Journey in the World.’ Twenty-something Cherry survived Antarctica, but he was haunted by the loss of his close friends for the rest of his life. In a world that had not yet recognized nor labelled conditions like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or Survivor’s Guilt, Cherry suffered tremendously from depression. One can only hope that he found catharsis in writing–his book is so thorough, so thoughtful and descriptive, it is known as the definitive account of that expedition, and as such makes a perfectly annotated companion to Scott’s own words, his journal, published as ‘Scott’s Last Expedition’ which Cherry quotes at length.
One hundred years ago today, Scott’s party returning from the Pole were already pretty certain that they would not survive–we know this from their diaries. But the men who waited for them at the main camp did not know this with any certainty at all. They undertook a search for what they then knew would be their remains 10 months later when the winter weather broke. Reading Cherry’s description of that sad mission is evocative enough to make you feel like you are there–and possesses the spirituality to make you feel like Cherry is there holding your hand.
Next up on my reading list: Sarah Wheeler’s biography of Apsley Cherry-Garrard.
I just finished reading Beryl Bainbridge’s novel, The Birthday Boys, an account of Robert Falcon Scott’s tragic march to the South Pole told in turns from the point of view of the five men who died there. Here is an excerpt from the final section, the words of Captain Titus Oates as Bainbridge imagines them–
And of course that black flag told them that Roald Amundsen and his party of Norwegian explorers had beaten them to the Pole.
The photo of Scott in his Antarctic expedition hut can be opened in another window and examined for incredible detail. My god, you can almost smell the penguins!
By the by, Beryl Bainbridge was an incredibly talented but unsung author. She died last year at only 77 of cancer. Send up some love to her spirit some time by reading one of her books, this one for example, or perhaps An Awfully Big Adventure.


When thirty three year old Alex Flynn finds out she’s pregnant, just weeks after breaking up with her handsome-but-dull ex-boyfriend of just a few months, she thinks things can’t get any worse. Turns out, she was wrong.
For a start, tagging along to a work event with Sam; her flatmate and bestie, under the guise of helping out, sees the beginning of a pitiful and consuming crush which is obviously doomed from the off.
Then the shock of her early scan nearly leaves her with post-traumatic stress disorder; the recovery of which is swiftly followed by ex-boyfriend Daniel’s inconceivable confession, not to mention the responsibility of possibly causing her disapproving mother to drop dead when she eventually hears all her daughter’s scandalous news.
Alex does her best to get her rocky emotional state under control and her new life in order. But really it would be so much easier if that irresistible crush would stop rearing his gorgeous head…
“Another great read from Sarah Rielle…I loved the banter between Alex and her best friend Sam, they had me laughing out loud. This is a lovely story about pregnancy, friendship, romance and love, also a lot of food…It will leave you wanting more.“
“Having read Sarah Rielle’s first novel, Cake or Death, I was really looking forward to seeing her next publication…I am glad to say it was worth the wait. This is an extremely enjoyable read, full of fun, laughter and of course tears with a subtle romantic theme weaving its way throughout the book…hurry up Ms Rielle and give me the follow on.“
Cake or Death
When Grace decided to enlist the help of her parents in leaving her abusive husband, she hadn’t realised she would be forbidden to change her mind.
Stranded in the Irish countryside of Kildare, recuperating, with only an overprotective hound for company, Grace did her best to deal with the awful news the hot doctor had delivered.
Hoping to just quietly waste away, she wasn’t expecting to reconnect with her family and discover unexpected, yet deeply healing friendships in her new surroundings. She had been so ashamed to bear her truth to people, but as it turned out, they all seemed to be dealing with issues of their own…
“A book that can cover the frightening topic of marital abuse and still make the reader laugh out loud on lots of occasions demonstrates a rare talent! Sarah Rielle is a very talented author and I cannot wait to laugh along with the characters from her next book.”
“Sarah Rielle’s first novel is heart wrenching and emotional covering a very harrowing subject, that of domestic abuse. However, the healing process for Grace is done with wit, laughter and family support. A great read, I could not put it down.”
“I have just finished reading Cake or Death and can highly recommend it…This book will have you crying, laughing and always craving cake.”

Leo Taxil and “The Amusing Bible”
Léo Taxil, originally Marie Joseph Gabriel Antoine Jogand-Pagès (1854-03-21 – 1907-03-31), was a French writer and journalist, who became known for his strong anti-Catholic and anti-clerical views. Leo Taxil was born in Marseille and at the age of five was placed into a Jesuit seminary. After spending his childhood years in the seminary he became disillusioned with the Catholic faith and began to see the religious ideology as socially harmful. He wrote in his confession: “Not without usefulness I spent my early years between monastery walls, among the clergy, where I grasped, on what rests the Papal faith.” Taxil was known for his writings like:
À bas la calotte! (Down calotte!) (1879)
Les Soutanes grotesques (The grotesque cassocks) (1879)
La Chasse aux corbeaux (Chase after crows) (1879)
Le Fils du jésuite (The Son of the Jesuit) (1879)
Les Bêtises sacrées (The sacred stupidity) (1880)
Les Friponneries religieuses (The religious knavery) (1880)
Plus de cafards! (More cockroaches!) (1880)
Calotte et calotins (Calotte and clericals) (1880-1882)
Les Borgia (The Borgias) (1881)
Les Pornographes sacrés (Sacred pornographers) (1882)
La Bible amusante (The amusing Bible) (1882) - first edition with ~400 pages
Un Pape femelle (The female Pope) (1882)
L'Empoisonneur Léon XIII (The Poisoner Leo XIII) (1883)
La Prostitution contemporaine (Contemporary prostitution) (1883)
Pie IX devant l'Histoire (Pius IX before History) (1883)
Les Amours secrètes de Pie IX (The Secret love-affairs of Pius IX) (1881)
Les Maîtresses du Pape (The Mistresses of the Pope) (1884)
La Vie de Veuillot immaculé (The Life of immaculate Veuillot) (1884)
In 1879 he was tried at the Seine Assizes for writing a pamphlet “À bas la calotte!” (Down calotte!) for insulting a religion, but he was acquitted. In his books, like “Les Pornographes sacrés” (Sacred pornographers) and “Les Maîtresses du Pape” (The Mistresses of the Pope), Taxil portrayed leaders of the Catholic Church as hedonistic creatures, exploring their fetishes in the manner of the Marquis de Sade.
In his anti-Catholic books “La Bible amusante” (The Amusing Bible) and “La Vie de Jesus” (The Amusing Gospel) Taxil satirically pointed out, what he considered to be inconsistencies, errors and false beliefs, presented in the Bible. First version of “The Amusing Bible” (~400 pages) was illustrated by 401 Frid'rick's illustrations and published in 1882 by “Libraire anticléricale”. At the time of publication the author was accused of irreverently mocking the Bible. “The Times” called for the book to be suppressed.
In 1884-04-20 Pope Leo XIII published an encyclical “Humanum Genus”, which said that the human race was “separated into two diverse and opposite parts, of which the one steadfastly contends for truth and virtue, the other of those things which are contrary to virtue and to truth. The one is the kingdom of God on earth, namely, the true Church of Jesus Christ... The other is the kingdom of Satan...” This kingdom was said to be “led on or assisted” by Freemasonry.
In 1885-04-23, after this encyclical, calling “to tear mask from freemasons”, Taxil repented, confessed and professed conversion to Catholicism. He renounced his earlier works and announced his intention to repair the damage he had done to the true faith. He was solemnly received back into the Church. One of the prominent figures of the Jesuit order, Gruber, wrote: “It has been only year, and as a result of papal prayers, grace of God’s ray touched one of the hard-core atheists and enemies of the Church, a publicist, who is capable more than others to implement call of Christ’s Vicar on earth.”
Taxil wrote a series of pamphlets and books denouncing Freemasonry, charging their lodges with worshiping the devil, with blazing enthusiasm criticizing various godless infidels. The first book produced by Taxil after his conversion was a four-volume history of Freemasonry, which contained fictitious eyewitness verifications of their participation in Satanism. Taxil introduced fictitious Sophie Walder who had the talent of walking through walls and owned a snake who wrote prophecies on her back with the tip of its tail. Another book, called “The Devil in the Nineteenth Century”, introduced a new character - Diana Vaughan, a supposed descendant of the Rosicrucian alchemist Thomas Vaughan. The book contained many implausible tales about her ability to travel to various planets and encounters with incarnate demons, one of whom was played the piano in the shape of a crocodile. Diana was supposedly involved in Satanic “Palladism” cult, Satanic freemasonry, but was redeemed, when one day she professed admiration for Joan of Arc, at whose name the demons were put to flight. As Diana Vaughan, Taxil published a book called “Eucharistic Novena”, a collection of prayers which were praised by the Pope. These books had great sales among Catholics, although Diana Vaughan never appeared in public. In 1892 Taxil also began to publish a paper “La France chrétienne anti-maçonnique” (Anti-Masonic Christian France). In 1887 Taxil even had an audience with Pope Leo XIII, who subsequently sanctioned his anti-Masonic campaign and rebuked the bishop of Charleston for denouncing the anti-Masonic confessions as a fraud and in 1896 sent his blessing to an anti-Masonic Congress in Trent.
Doubts about Vaughan's veracity and even her existence began to grow, and finally Taxil promised to produce her at a lecture to be delivered by him on 1897-04-19 at the Hall of the Geographic Society in Paris. To the amazement of the audience (which included a number of priests) he announced that Diana Vaughan was one of a series of hoaxes as a part of long-lasting practical joke to ridicule the Roman Catholic Church’s credulity. He thanked the bishops and Catholic newspapers for facilitating his crowning hoax, namely his conversion, which had exposed the anti-Masonic fanaticism of many Catholics. Diana Vaughan was revealed to be a simple typist and his employ, who laughingly allowed her name to be used by him. Taxil widely and vividly described, how all these twelve years he deliberately and consistently mystified religious servants, how, step by step, he more and more puffed up and diversified his fabrications, seeing, that even the most incredible fantasies were fascinatedly taken on face value by the pope, cardinals, and all the Catholic clergy. It was a terrible scandal. Discredit of the clergy was enormous.
The audience received these revelations with laughter, some with indignation and hiss. Taxil was mobbed on leaving the hall so that policemen had to escort him to a neighbouring café.
Clerics were enraged. Leo XIII gave anathema to Taxil. “We...” - it was said in the papal bull - “...declare, that excommunicate and anathematize that villain, who is called the Leo Taxil, and expel him from the door of the holy Church of God... May he be damned wherever he is: in the house, in the field, on the road, on the stairs, in the desert and even on the threshold of the church. May he be cursed in life and in the hour of death. May he be cursed in all his affairs when he drinks, when he eats, when he is hungry and thirsty... May he be cursed in all parts of the body, internal and external... May he be cursed in all his the joints, for the disease gnawed him from the top of the head to the soles of feet... ”
This didn't frighten Taxil and extended version (~800 pages, 401 illustrations by Frid'rick) of the book “La Bible amusante” (The Amusing Bible) was republished from year 1897. Extended version contained Taxil's public letter, addressed to Pope Leo XIII at the beginning of the book, quotes from the Bible and comments by Voltaire, Lord Bolingbroke, Fréret, Toland and others.
Leo Taxil moved away from Paris and died in Sceaux in 1907.


The program commenced with the Tree planting at the Faculty of Applied Sciences in Sammanthurai and at the site of Cultural Centre of the University at Oluvil where the Vice Chancellor Prof. MMM Najim participated as chief guest and inaugurated the programme. Acting. Registrar MI. Nawfer, Senior Asst.Registrars, Asst. Registrars, Deans, and Heads of Departments, Academics and non academic Staff of the University.
This was followed by the memorial talk at the Auditorium of the Faculty of Islamic Studies and Arabic Language presided over by Prof. Rameez Abdullah. The main features of the program was the token presentation of the Personal Collection of Dr. BA Hussainmiya to the SEUSL Library followed by his memorial oration of Late Minister Dr MHM Ashraff who is the founder of the University and who is also mainly instrumental in establishing this University. This was followed by the Chief Guests address by the Vice Chancellor Prof MMM Najim. Addressing the gathering Vice Chancellor Prof. Najim recalled that Late Minister Asraff in his far sighted vision took all genuine efforts to establish this University and always worked for its lively activities. His vision was to produce graduates not for name sake but for community's development and for the nation as a whole. We should always keep it in mind that this higher education Institute is not at all for mere providing employment and to provide quality education by which the future generation would benefit a lot.
Prof.Hussainmiya in his address said that he was very closely associating with Late Minister Ashraff and he was always thinking of his community and its welfare. His every action had a meaningful vision and this University too was one of his greatest achievements although it's a difficult task to establish same. So, it's the duty of all of us to work for its development and its betterment.
Conferring of Vice Chancellors Awards too were also in the Card and those who excelled in various performances and Conferring of Long services Awards were also given to the respective personalities. At the conclusion of the ceremony Prof. Hussainmiya was presented with Memento by the Vice Chancellor Prof. Najim as a mark of remembrance of the programme. Distinguished gathering were present at the ceremonial opening of Ex-Libris of Prof. BA. Hussainmiya at the Ashraff Memorial Library.
The Private Library consists of valuable and rare materials of 750 volumes. It includes books together with reports, Conference Proceedings, Souvenirs, Pamphlets and periodicals. SEUSL Library has organized to conduct an Exhibition of Books on Writings and works of Dr. Hussainmiya to mark this occasion. The collection is especially useful and assets to the students and researchers of History.
This Private Library is an award of Dr. Hussainmiya, materialized at the South Eastern University of Sri-Lanka on the effort of Prof. MMM. Najim, Vice-Chancellor of the South Eastern University of Sri-Lanka His private collection housed in the Library of South Eastern University of Sri Lanka named as "Ex-Libris Dr. BA. Hussainmiya". It is really a gift to this university, to house his private library in the SEUSL library. This collection of books of rare varieties adds to enrich the stock of the resources of printed materials of SEUSL library.
Researchers, scholars, teachers, students, staff, academics and general public will access this collection of Dr. Hussainmiya in the SEUSL Library. This will provide an opportunity for the researchers to engage in research works on History and Sri Lankan Muslims.

I've read a few books this summer, and I felt like talking about them. You with me so far?
Gorky Park (1981) by Michael Cruz Smith - This is one of my favorite books. The lead character, Arkady Renko, is a chief investigator for the Moscow police, and he is assigned to uncover the brutal murder of three mutilated bodies in Gorky Park. The book offers a very clever, very engaging mystery with enough action, romance and detective skills to lend itself into a good movie (which came out two years later and had a wonderful cast featuring such men as Lee Marvin, William Hurt and Brian Dennehy). Smith paints a portrait of Soviet society that is neither scathing nor apologetic. It simply presents the world as it was, objective and vivid. Gorky Park is a very enjoyable read and I recommend it to everyone.
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968) by Philip K. Dick - This is the book that inspired the fantastic cyber noir Blade Runner. Unlike the novel discussed above, the novel and film are very different, outside of a few basic ideas and themes. Surprisingly, though, they both hold up on their own. Truth be told, I'm not a terribly big Dick fan (gay pun lol). His books are alright, but they don't take hold of me like they obviously have for other people. However, DADES is definitely the best of his works I've read. It still has the usual Phil K. Dick problems and nonsense, but not as much as usual and the story is really great. There are little visions of the future that seem absolutely ridiculous now, and the whole Mercerism storyline is absolutely stupid. However, the book has probably the single best portrayal of how androids would probably act if they ever come to exist. I would probably rate the film higher, but the book is certainly worth reading.
Santa Steps Out (2000) by Robert Devereaux - The tagline of this novel proclaims itself as "A Fairty Tale for Grown-ups," and reading the first pages makes it seem like something really out of this world. Essentially, Santa is seduced by the Tooth Fairy, who brings out his hidden sexual lust. Santa's ejaculate turning into candycanes and the Tooth Fairy eating teeth and shitting out coins is a hoot, and the backstory of what the fantasty creatures of Santa, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, etc., used to be offers great potential for story. However, the possibilities are never capitalized on. Instead, the book devolves into pornography. I have never read a romance novel, but even those can't be as brimming with descriptions of sexual interaction as this is. Every chapter is saturated with sex. While I certainly have no problems with sex in reality or sex described in books, after a while of reading Santa banging someone, it gets incredibly tedious and repetitive, no matter how many new angles Devereaux throws in (on a side note, looking at Devereaux's picture and reading his mini-biography in the back of the book, he reminds me of Will Ferrell's Professor Roger Klarvin character from SNL). It's a shame that the sex wasn't cut down and the mythological back story was never fully fleshed out beyond brief respites from cunnilingus.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2007) by J.K. Rowling - I can't imagine anyone reading this book if they haven't already read the rest, so I guess this review is in conjunction, or at least consideration of, the other six books. This was ultimately a good read, but it took a while for it to gain any traction, and was honestly a bit of a chore for at least the first 1/3 of the book. Anytime Rowling writes romance into her book, it is really horrible and funny at the same time, but towards the end (minus the epilogue), I thought she handled it really well. I didn't even mind the epilogue so much; it was just stupid. Some of the deaths were handled really well, others not so much. I think I enjoyed all of the resolutions of plotlines, and Snape's story went about as well as I could have expected. Overall, if you liked the other six books, this one shouldn't be a disappointment. That said, what I appreciated about the early books mostly had to do with the school and little kids learning about themselves, and this obviously didn't have any of that. On the other hand, I suppose Harry became more of a three dimensional person and slightly less of a crybaby. He went a little less emo and a little more dark, but he found the light he needed to, and at the end of the day, there are few complaints to be had about the way the series wrapped up.


What is VUE?
At its core, the Visual Understanding Environment (VUE) is a concept and content mapping application, developed to support teaching, learning and research and for anyone who needs to organize, contextualize, and access digital information. Using a simple set of tools and a basic visual grammar consisting of nodes and links, faculty and students can map relationships between concepts, ideas and digital content.
Concept mapping is not new to the educational field. In fact, the benefits of concept mapping as a learning tool have been documented by over 40 years of cognitive science research. VUE provides a concept mapping interface, which can be used as such, or as an interface to organize digital content in non-linear ways.
Numerous tools currently exist for locating digital information, but few applications are available for making sense of the information available to us. As the availability of digital information continues to increase, VUE sets itself apart as a flexible tool to help faculty and students integrate, organize and contextualize electronic content in their work. Digital content can be accessed via the Web, or using the VUE’s “Resources” panel to tap into digital repositories, FTP servers and local file systems.
Sharing and presenting information are important aspects of academic work. VUE’s pathways feature allows presenters to create annotated trails through their maps, which become expert guided walk-throughs of the information. The pathways feature also provides a “slide view” of the information on the map. The power of VUE’s slide mode is the ability for presenters to focus on content (slide view) while preserving the information’s context (map view), by way of a single toggle between the two views.
VUE also provides supports for in-depth analysis of maps, with the ability to merge maps and export connectivity matrices to import in statistical packages. VUE also provide tools to apply semantic meaning to the maps, by way of ontologies and metadata schemas.
VUE can be used by anyone interested in visually structuring digital content, whether in support of teaching difficult to understand concepts or more generally, a tool for organizing personal digital resources.

Englefield in the Great War
August Bank Holiday 1914 saw the playing of a popular cricket match in Englefield: the annual Timber Yard versus House and Gardens fixture. This picture is believed to have been taken that day. Mr Benyon paid for the lunch, served as usual by Mr and Mrs James Claydon, and Mrs Benyon provided the tea. Henry Benyon scored 44 for the House and Gardens team, Edward Buckland 20 and Alan Burtenshaw 10. For the Timber Yard Alfred Lamperd scored 19 runs and Seymour Joyce 34; their bowlers were Frederick Fisher and George Claydon. But even as they played that quintessentially English game in that quintessentially English setting on a glorious English summer’s day several of the players were receiving mobilisation telegrams; and as they no doubt enjoyed a refreshing drink in the Workmens’ Club that evening Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey was watching the street lamps being lit in Whitehall and remarking, “The lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.”
Like every other village and town in the country, Englefield played its part in the First World War. Some men had enlisted in the new Territorial Force created in 1908, others had joined the Regular forces before the war or had former Regular service with a Reserve commitment. In addition to these, who received that fateful telegram on August Bank Holiday, many more volunteered in the first few months and were followed by yet more in 1915. Others who were too young or too old to volunteer had to wait until they became eligible for conscription in the later years as they became old enough or the age limit was gradually increased. About 90 men who lived in the village or were otherwise connected with the estate eventually served during the war and although the memorial in the church records only four names from the parish, more than twice that number of men who had close associations with the village and the estate made the final sacrifice.
In addition to those who died very many others served in World War 1. A bronze plaque is fixed to a wall in the Gardens recording the names of those on the Gardens staff who served. In addition the Rector published the names of those who had enlisted in the monthly Parish Magazine. The Reading Standard newspaper regularly published supplements documenting the progress of the War and the local regiments with photographs of many Berkshire men who died, were wounded or were decorated and the captions gave their name and home address. After the War these supplements were made into a series of leather-bound volumes and it is thanks to these that we are able to include in our Roll of Honour more names than those that were listed by the Rector or commemorated on the war memorial in the church. Very few official records of those who served in the Great War remain, most having been destroyed by a bomb in 1940.
On the home front too, villagers of all ages made their contribution to the war effort. The enthusiastic Voluntary Aid Detachment had their preparations well made long before August 1914 and Englefield House became a war hospital under the direction of Mrs Benyon from the very beginning. Those too young or too old for military service did their bit by growing food, collecting waste paper, wild fruits and nuts and by taking on those tasks normally performed by the men who were absent.

This site serves as a monument to all
soldiers who fought and all casualties of World War 1 and the Colonial Wars in the
period leading up to World War 2. It intends to honor soldiers of all nationalities and all races and if you think the soldiers of your particular country are not shown enough... we invite you to visit the section "What YOU can do for the site"... I would be very happy to put up any articles you may have floating around...
The site has grown since I started out and as a
result I have revamped the front page to include the main sections at a
glance.... we also have our own Search Engine
The best place to start is on the "What's New?" page right HERE
Gentleman's Military Interest Club
If you are interested in Military History and Militaria, its time you visited the GMIC
The Kaiserscross project
This deals with the
Imperial German army, it´s evolution, it´s battles, it´s units and also the men
who served in it, the awards they received and their deeds. Great emphasis is
placed on the simple soldier, the unknown man who marched off to Verdun, the Somme, Flanders or Russia and if he was unlucky, never
came back. Often all that is left of these men are an old Iron Cross and a few
tattered documents. The Kaiserscross project tries to put the medals and
documents awarded by the German army during the First World War into their
historical and human context. See HERE
Cross of War
A section dealing with the
French Croix de Guerre, the men that won it and the battles they fought in.
Runners, Trench Raiders, Machine Gunners… the award documents are always
interesting research projects as the citations contain a short description of
the act of bravery done to merit the award. With a bit of simple research the
collector can get a wonderful insight into what the soldier did and what small part
his unit played in the history of the war.
The arrival of Pershing's Doughboys tipped the balance of the war. While the German Army was loosing the struggle to refil its ranks, the sheer numbers of new arrivals allowed the Allies to more than make up for their losses.
It is all to easy to forget
that the “Glory” of war is paid for in blood. The blood of a soldier’s
comrades, but also the blood of the foe. Whether it be the blood of a Bavarian
farmer, a Pennsylvania steel worker or a
herder from the Khyber Pass, the result is
always the same. Left behind is a grieving family, a widow and children without
a father. Most of the casualties were men who had little influence over the
events they were caught up in but died or were wounded for what they believed
to be right.
Harry has articles covering pre WW2 Campaigns in far flung corners of the African continent.
The wars in Africa
It is not the intention of this site to
ponder the moral implications of colonization. The intention is simply to
examine the awards and medals of soldiers fighting in Africa
from about the 1890’s to the last gasps of empire. Included are sections on the
Boer war, the campaigns for with the French Medaille Coloniale was awarded, the
fighting in the German colonies.
1st Ypres, 2nd Ypres,
3rd Ypres, North of the Somme, South of the Somme, Left bank of Verdun, Right bank at Verdun… WW1 has a confusing array of bloody
battles. On the site we will do our best to create a series of very brief
synopsis’s to help the collector understand where his soldier fits into the big
picture. This section will be of interest to readers who do not have access to
French or German sources as it covers many actions ignored by English sources.

As we gaze up into the night sky, we're often enchanted by the constantly changing appearance of the moon. Each phase of the lunar cycle contributes uniquely to this celestial tapestry and the energetic impacts they cast upon us on Earth. In this post, we're diving into the mesmerizing world of the Waning Crescent Moon, dissecting its features, significance, and the role it plays in various cultures and our daily lives.
What is the Waning Crescent Phase of the Moon?
The lunar cycle comprises several stages tracking the moon's monthly transformation, and the Waning Crescent Moon marks the final phase (of eight). Occurring just after the Third Quarter Moon and leading up to the New Moon, the Waning Crescent captures the gradual diminishing of the moon's illuminated portion until it is entirely shrouded in darkness with the New (or Dark) Moon.
What Does Waning Crescent Moon Mean?
Waning Crescent refers to the shape of the moon as it’s reflected to earth. Visible before sunrise in the east, the lit side of the Waning Crescent Moon points eastward. As the illuminated part of the moon wanes away, the night deepens, and it prepares for a transformation into the New Moon stage.
How the Waning Crescent Moon Influences Life on Earth
The various phases of the lunar cycle affect sea tides, certain human behaviors, animal behavior, and even agricultural practices. The Waning Crescent Moon, in particular, exerts the least gravitational pull of all the lunar phases, leading to a weaker effect on sea tides.
The Energy of the Waning Crescent
Symbol of Introspection: As the moon's light dwindles, it can symbolize a period of reflection, introspection, and letting go. Turning inwards allows for a focus on our inner selves, as well as the releasing of old habits, patterns, and feelings.
Astrological Significance: In astrology, lunar phases are often believed to impact mood and emotional states. People might be drawn to examine aspects of their life more critically during this phase, process experiences, and prepare for new beginnings that the New Moon could bring.
Religious Rituals: The Waning Crescent Moon plays a vital role in some religious practices. For instance, during the Islamic month of Ramadan, fasting ends with the Eid al-Fitr celebration, which is observed upon the sighting of the Waning Crescent Moon.
The Lunar Personality of Waning Crescent Moon Babies
A Waning Crescent symbolizes wisdom and maturity, reflecting the essence of a moon that has witnessed every phase of the lunar cycle. This wise energy often causes individuals born under the Waning Crescent to be endowed with unique skills or wisdom. These powerful lunar gifts can pave the way for a life of accomplishment, creativity, and joy.
Embracing the Magic of the Waning Crescent Moon
The Waning Crescent Moon serves as a poignant reminder of the cyclical nature of life and the constant interplay of light and darkness. By understanding and appreciating the symbolisms, energies, and cultural contexts associated with the Waning Crescent Moon, we can learn to embrace its transformative force. This insight enables us to cultivate a life characterized by balance, growth, and self-awareness, in tune with the rhythm of our celestial surroundings.

Experts in Indian traditional medicines, and research scientists from modern medicines, who have come together at the India Habitat Centre in New Delhi recently for intensive deliberations on how to expand the ambit of the Traditional Knowledge Digital Library (TKDL), have observed that areas such as cosmetics should also be included as a TK system in the TKDL.
Substantiating his point, Dr T P Rajendran a visiting fellow at the Research and Information System (RIS) for developing countries, New Delhi has said a large number of companies seek access and patents in cosmetic industry. Several companies are pioneering in the innovations of herbal cosmetic compositions.
Prof B N Gangadhar, director of NIMHANS in Bengaluru opined that TKDL should be included the TK of Indian psychology as a component apart from ayush systems. According to him all medical professionals should undergo a course on traditional systems of treatment at undergraduate level.
Dr. M S Ramasamy, principal investigator and faculty scientist at Anna University in Chennai, said accessibility of TKDL should be accorded to public sector as well as to private sector. The research institutes should be permitted to access the digital library under certain terms and conditions. He said access to TKDL for private sector will encourage integration of TK with modern health system. It will create scope for joint research. He appealed to the authorities to make the database available in local languages also.
Prof. Girish Tillu, faculty member at the Centre for Complimentary and Integrative Health in Pune, said there are more than one lakh medical manuscripts remaining unpublished and they should be included in the TKDL.
Representing ayurveda in Kerala, Dr D Ramanathan from Sitaram Ayurveda Pharmacy, said along with the inclusion of manuscripts, the TKDL should contain ‘Panchakarma and Soothikarma.”
The National IPR Policy 2016 calls for opening access to TKDL by public research institutions and exploring the possibility of using TKDL for R&D by private sector by expanding the ambit of TKDL and also documentation of oral TK.

Studies on heterosis in bhendi [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench]
First Online 22-03-2017|
The studies on heterosis in bhendi was conducted with 20 F1’s developed from 9 parents viz., SKY/DR/RS/107 (L1), 3 (L2), IC 69257 (L3), 307-10-1-II (L4), 608-8-1 (T1), 770 (T2), IC 140880 (T3), 137-10-1,2 (T4) and Tiruchi Local (T5) in a Line x Tester mating design. The hybrids along with parents were evaluated in RBD with three replications. The hybrid L2 x T3 was considered the best as it has recorded higher magnitude of heterobeltiosis for plant height at flowering (17.49 per cent), plant height at final harvest (42.95 per cent), leaf area index (64.21 per cent), stem diameter (82.79 per cent), fruit length (22.98 per cent), fruit girth (6.17 per cent), number of fruits plant-1 (42.70 per cent) and yield plant-1 (57.77 per cent). The maximum heterotic vigour was found in L2 x T2 for fruit weight (47.24 per cent) and number of fruits plant-1 (96.67 per cent).

Fascinating and authoritative of Britain's royal families from Henry VIII to Elizabeth I to Queen Victoria, by leading popular historian Alison Weir.
The Royal Line of Succession
The best-selling illustrated guide to the British Monarchy and the succession process, updated and redesigned for 2018.
Queen Elizabeth II & the Royal Family
A tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, this book celebrates her life and reign. It profiles key royals, such as Princess Diana and Prince Harry, and features celebrations including Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding, the births of Prince George and Princess Charlotte, and the Queen's 90th birthday.
The Crown focuses on Queen Elizabeth II as a 25-year-old newlywed faced with the daunting prospect of heading the world's most famous monarchy while forging a relationship with legendary Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill. The British Empire is in decline, the political world is in disarray, and a young woman takes the throne....a new era is dawning. Peter Morgan's masterfully researched scripts reveal the Queen's private journey behind the public facade with daring frankness. Prepare to be welcomed into the coveted world of power and privilege and behind locked doors in Westminster and Buckingham Palace....the leaders of an empire await.
The Crown, created by Peter Morgan, follows Queen Elizabeth through the late 1950s and early ‘60s as she struggles to navigate a world that’s changing around her. She must face the challenges of a new era, from the Suez Canal crisis to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, while preserving both the monarchy and her marriage.
The Crown traces the life of Queen Elizabeth II from her wedding in 1947 through to the early part of the twenty-first century. Season Three covers the time period between 1964 and 1977 and introduces an outstanding new ensemble cast led by Olivia Colman and Tobias Menzies. Beginning with Harold Wilson’s election as the Queen’s first Labour prime minister and ending with the Silver Jubilee of Elizabeth II, it follows pivotal moments such as the death and state funeral of Winston Churchill, the Aberfan disaster, the Apollo 11 moon landing and the Investiture of Prince Charles as the Prince of Wales.
Victoria is the landmark account of the early years on the throne of one of Britain’s greatest queens. Jenna Coleman (Doctor Who) plays Victoria, taking her first faltering steps from capricious, hormonal teenager to respected monarch. Central to the drama is the scandalous friendship between Victoria and her first Prime Minister Lord Melbourne (BAFTA nominated Rufus Sewell; The Man in the High Castle), and the romance with her cousin Prince Albert (Tom Hughes; The Game).
Following critical acclaim, Victoria (Jenna Coleman) resumes her role as queen establishing herself as a working mother, learning to balance her responsibilities as both parent and Sovereign. However, Prince Albert (Tom Hughes) is still struggling to find a role for himself alongside his powerful wife as she returns to her duties, intent on proving that she can be mother, dutiful wife and Queen. Victoria’s challenges during her reign, both home and abroad, leave her with a modern dilemma, can she really have it all?
Starting in 1848, the third instalment of the lavish drama will depict a turbulent and uncertain time for both Europe and the monarchy. With revolutions on the continent and the Chartist movement reaching its peak in London, Victoria is under pressure from the government to leave London for her own safety.
Victoria and Albert have very different expectations for a family Christmas, and the arrival of a young African orphan at the Palace puts them at loggerheads. Victoria is uncharacteristically melancholy in the festive season. Albert, on the other hand, is gripped by an obsession with staging the perfect family Christmas, and ruffles feathers as he transforms the Palace into a magical festive wonderland. But Victoria is furious to find that, in fact, Albert has invited two very unwelcome house guests. ‘Tis the season for historic enmities to finally climax, new romances to blossom and sacrifices to be made… but a terrifying accident calls the couple’s priorities into question, and Victoria and Albert finally realise that they must leave behind the pain of their upbringings if they are to give their own children the Christmas that they never had.
Emily Blunt takes the titular role in Jean-Marc Vallee's dramatisation of the early years of Queen Victoria's rule, which began when she was just 18 years old, and her enduring romance and marriage to Prince Albert (Rupert Friend). Jim Broadbent and Miranda Richardson co-star as King William (Victoria's uncle) and the Duchess of Kent respectively. The film won the awards for Best Costume Design and Best Make Up/Hair at the 2010 BAFTAs as well as picking up the Oscar for Best Costume Design at the Academy Awards.
Early 18th century. England is at war with the French. Nevertheless, duck racing and pineapple eating are thriving. A frail Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) occupies the throne and her close friend Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz) governs the country while tending to Anne’s ill health and mercurial temper. When a new servant Abigail (Emma Stone) arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah. Sarah takes Abigail under her wing and Abigail sees a chance at a return to her aristocratic roots.

The Kremlin‘s dark secrets are unravelled in the story of the former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko, poisoned in November 2006 in London. Told in his own words and with never seen footages and interviews of his widow, friends and alleged killers, this documentary gives a powerful insight into modern Russian history.
Original title: BUNT. DELO LITVINENKO
2007 – 1h42 – Documentary – Russia
With: Anna Politovskaya, Marina Litvinenko


The success of a systematic review depends on the availability, accessibility and quality of literature related to the review question. This paper presents the literature found in four systematic reviews conducted for a selection of zoonotic hazards in four livestock value chains in Africa, as well as setting out the challenges in conducting the reviews. The protocol was designed following international standards, and addressed four questions around prevalence, risk factors, control options and impact of various hazards and populations. Searches were conducted in four online databases. Articles were screened for relevance, and quality was assessed before data extraction. Literature on zoonotic hazards was in general scarce and access to full articles was limited. Overall, 25–40% of papers were considered poor quality. The diversity of approaches and designs in the studies compromised the ability to generate summarized estimates. We found that the emphasis of veterinary research has been on livestock problems rather than public health issues, although this seems to be shifting in the last decade; we also found there are limited studies on impact and control. While increasing literature is being published around zoonoses in Africa, this is still inadequate to appropriately inform policy and guide research efforts.

OMNI: The Forgotten History of The Best Science Magazine That Ever Was Written
by CLAIRE L. EVANS
April 3, 2013 // 09:00 AM EST
Omni was a magazine about the future. From 1978 to 1998 (it switched to full-time online publication in the mid-1990s) Omni blew minds by regularly featuring extensive Q&As with some of the top scientists of the 20th century–E.O. Wilson, Francis Crick, Jonas Salk–tales of the paranormal, and some of the most important science fiction to ever see magazine publication: William Gibson’s genre-defining stories Burning Chrome and Johnny Mnemonic, Orson Scott Card’s Unaccompanied Sonata, novellas by Harlan Ellison and George R. R. Martin, Thanksgiving, a postapocalyptic tale by Joyce Carol Oates–even William S. Burroughs graced its pages.
For people who have never heard of Omni Magazine or Books.
It was a great publication that gave people a look into the world of Art, Science, Technology, Science Fiction,
Computers, UFO’s, Robotics, Medicine, Astronomy, Space, the Mind and Beyond.

This fall, I was increasingly intrigued by the stories of Mimi Matthews. I hadn’t read any of her work before so when I learned she had a Christmas novella, A Holiday by Gaslight, I knew this was my chance to be introduced to a new-to-me author. I’m glad I did!

So the good news is that public libraries in America outnumber McDonald’s. The bad news is that families spend $18.6 billion on home video games for their children vs. $1 billion on books and other library materials. But all is not lost. The American Library Association (ALA) reports that there are more than 9,000 public libraries in America, not including those found in public schools.
If you’re working for your company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, an excellent effort is to help build a community public library. You’re going to, of course, source books from donors. But you can also mobilize the support of other companies like those making educational furniture to contribute. Here are a few ideas on how you might pursue this community library project:
America’s Public Libraries
Including the armed forces, public schools, and government libraries, the overall total is almost 117,000. Libraries are essential to the collective health of a community. As one study points out, public libraries have emerged as one of the “third places” that strengthens a community. The home and workplace are referred to as the first and second places, respectively. The research argues that the sense of trust and neutrality that public libraries carry become keys to the success of these third places. Most adults also find public libraries as a friendly place, and 66% feel that closure of a library would have negative consequences on the community.
Books, of course, will be the most critical component of building a library. But there must be some meaning to it, and the community must also know why you want to make it. In other words, stating your mission for the project is just as important as the books that are going to be in them. Are they meant for kids of a certain age? Will the collection focused on a specific subject that has relevance to the community? Be clear with this part first before moving to the next steps.
- Location. Just like any business establishment, location is critical. Consider access to public transports, for example, or if they can be on the same route as other famous places. You also need to legally establish the physical structure, i.e., make sure that you comply with zoning laws or rules from homeowner associations.
- Furniture. Be creative when furnishing your library with tables, chairs, and shelves. See if you can work with local companies to sponsor the build of a shelf or multiple shelves. Consider doing a campaign drive that would solicit old furniture that you can refurbish or upcycled to be part of the library. This will add character to the overall ambiance of the rooms.
- Make it digital. Books can now be tracked using bar codes and database systems that monitor the ins and outs of books and under which borrower the books appear. This is one critical component when you’re building your library. While this sounds costly, you can tap into social media for support or make a fundraising effort that would cover the cost of computerization.
- Sustaining the initiative. There will be costs to operate a library year-in and year-out. Consider how you would be funding its operation. One approach is to set up a library foundation. This model allows foundations to receive grants or accept donations. Make sure that you hire the right people to run it.
There will be challenges, such as finding the right location and mobilizing other possible stakeholders. But once done, it will be a rewarding endeavor.
