In January 2005, Simon and Schuster's Free Press imprint will publish the long-awaited "authorized biography" of the Çatalhöyük excavations. Michael Balter, former Paris bureau chief for Science and now one of the magazine's chief archaeology writers, spent six years researching and writing this definitive account of the dig, covering its turbulent history, colorful characters, and the state-of-the-art scientific methodology that has given Çatalhöyük an international reputation.
In seventeen lively and gripping chapters, Balter describes the dramatic discovery of the site by British archaeologist James Mellaart in 1958, the early years of the excavations during the 1960s, and the murky circumstances under which digging stopped in the wake of the mysterious "Dorak Affair." The story picks up again in the early 1990s, when Ian Hodder returns to Çatalhöyük with a whole new generation of archaeologists who quickly make a whole new round of major discoveries.
The reader learns all about the vigorous debates over why hunter-gatherers settled down into farming communities some 10,000 years ago; but Balter also breathes real life into the community of archaeologists that has taken root at Çatalhöyük in the present day, giving rare personal glimpses into the lives of archaeologists--what motivates them to pursue their passionate quest to unravel the mysteries of the past. And in an Epilogue written right after the 2004 season, Balter brings readers up to date on the very latest discoveries, including a "Mother Goddess" style figurine and a painted, plastered human skull--the first ever discovered at Çatalhöyük.
Michael Balter is an American journalist, originally from Los Angeles. From 1991 to 2004, he served as Science's Paris bureau chief, and is now a contributing correspondent for the magazine specializing in archaeology and human evolution. He is also a former oral historian for the University of California, Los Angeles, where he honed the skills needed to bring the complex characters at Çatalhöyük to life.


I LOVE READING!Reading has not always been something I love to do, but in my adulthood I have learned to really enjoy it. It's legitimate free time for me. I don't feel guilty taking time out for myself to read, not in the least. It's especially enjoyable if I'm soaking in a giant bubble bath while I am reading.
|No bubbles this time, but a giant bath nonetheless|
I was talking with my sister in law a few weeks ago about our kids and reading. We both have a child that does not love it, and has difficulty with reading comprehension.
What is the remedy for this? More reading, of course!Those kids just love that! My sister-in-law and I both decided that if someone told us to grab a book, any book we wanted, and that we were required to read for an hour a day, there would be NO complaining. It would be a welcome assignment! One of my favorite assignments of the day, actually!
I've been in a habit of finishing every book I start, regardless of whether I like it or not. *which is actually a very strange thing since I don't feel that obligation toward the more important things* I recently realized that this is not a good habit. It wastes a lot of time actually. Somehow I felt I owed it to ?someone?, the author maybe? to finish the book. Why is this? Strange.
So, I have set a new rule for myself:If I check a book out of the library and don't finish reading it before it's due, I have one chance to renew it. If I have to renew it more than once, then I obviously didn't love the book enough to finish, and it's not worth my time!
I'm not sure what started this impulse to finish every book I pick up, but I realized that there is no need to spend my limited reading time on a book I don't love.
I am in the middle of reading "Between Shades of Gray" right now.
No, not the other "shades of gray" book, this one is about a family taken into slavery and their struggles and strengths. I love to read books about people overcoming trials and learning how they dealt with hard things. They help me appreciate my many blessings, and they inspire me to be better than I was yesterday.
You can link up with me on Goodreads and see all that I have read and want to read. Please recommend books you love to me, I'd love to hear what y'all are reading!

The Jungle Book – Plumfield and Paideia
But beyond the sheer aesthetic pleasure of Baloo and King Louie that Louie believes the relationship is one that would benefit Mowgli as. addressed by their first names but as Akela, Kaa, Baloo or Bagheera. .. They met in Lahore thanks to mutual relations (Kipling's father and Baden- . prosperity helped the entire country stay on top of the world market and. Mowgli, portrayed by Neel Sethi, right, and Baloo, voiced by Bill Murray, And in , there will be yet another Jungle Book, this time with.
Show me one who doesn't know about Mowgli's adventures through the jungle with bumbling, kindly Baloo and cunning Bagheera, thanks to Disney's version of the book. However, start reading the original and all preconceived notions might as well be thrown out the window.
This is a dark and often unhappy tale which left me nervous and frightened and is more prone to cause a nightmare than a sweet dream. Kipling tells the story of little Mowgli, a village boy who falls into the hands of a pack of wolves who raise him as their own in the Indian jungle.
As he matures he starts to understand the 'Law of the Jungle' and the book follows his many adventures alongside the myriad creatures around him. Those include Baloo the bear and Bagheera the black panther, who become his tutors and protectors. As a child reader, one of the most disturbing parts of this relationship is the physical violence Baloo and Bagheera continuously seem to use against Mowgli as part of their teaching. I wanted Mowgli to escape from these two almost as much as I wanted him to escape the terrible monkeys.
I don't think Kipling intended the reader to feel this way, but perhaps in his days, hitting a child was more common. Kipling does manage to create an intense world that sucks you in with his descriptions of the jungle and the creatures that live there.
The animals speak and think like humans, but their actions are limited to what animals would be able to do.
Most of the animals can speak to each other, and Mowgli learns to speak to most of them. The different species have their natural conflicts, but are also able to cooperate for various reasons. It is about the wisdom of the jungle. It is also, at times, a comment on human relationships and societies.
There are prejudices among species against other species. They are almost all particularly prejudiced against the monkeys because monkeys are lawless.Relationship Marketing Explained
Kipling makes an especially seering comment come from the mouths of the monkeys when Mowgli ends up in their hands. We are the most wonderful people in all the Jungle! We all say so, and so it must be true. Lead us again, O Man-cub, for we be sick of this lawlessness, and we would be the Free People once more. But remember, Bagheera, he is very little.
The Jungle Book Commercial Goes for Epic Bear Necessities | Collider
But he has done mischief, and blows must be dealt now. Mowgli, hast thou anything to say? Baloo and thou are wounded. That was very shocking, too, for the potter is a low-caste man, and his donkey is worse. There is a short film of this story. Toomai of the Elephants is a boy from a long line of elephant handlers who manages to see something no one other human has ever seen before — the dance of the elephants at night.
Mowgli: the heart and troubled soul of The Jungle Book
Mules, horses, bullocks, camels, and elephants all discuss their merits as the best military animals; how they fight and whose orders they follow. In discussing their own merits, they delight in disparaging each other.
The epigraph of each chapter of The Jungle Book is a poem by or about one of the characters in the story. Each chapter ends with another poem.


How do we teach reading?
At Little Hoole we believe that reading is so important we are encouraging everyone to be a super reader.
- Every child is able to choose a book to read that is at the right level for where they are at.
- We make sure skills such as phonics, comprehension and of course an overall love of reading is developed through our whole class teaching in English and through our Guided Reading sessions which we do throughout the school
- We will celebrate the children in our Achievement Assemblies when they move onto the next level on their reading journey
- Children have access to choose books in their classroom or in our school library to develop their love of and interest of reading
The link below is a handy chart which shows the progression that children make on their reading journey throughout our school. The year groups listed are only a guide. Parents may find that their child is on a reading band either below or above their particular age group so it must be remembered that children make progress at different speeds. Some children may be speeding through the bands at an younger age, other children may speed through the bands as they get older.
Every child's reading journey is different but right for them!

Children of Lir Jewelry
The Irish legend of The Children of Lir
The legend is much loved when told to children. The events happened about one thousand years before the coming of St. Patrick. It is a story closely related to Mullingar as it occurred on Lough Derraghvarragh, one of the three lakes that surround Mullingar.
The story begins with the defeat of the Tuatha De Danaan by the Gaelic people called Clanna Mhileodh. The Tuatha De Danaan believed in magic and practiced it. It was they who ruled over the land of Eire. After the defeat of the Tuatha De Danaan a king was elected. The contenders were Bodhbh and Lir. Bodhbh was elected and Lir flounced out of the meeting. The newly elected king forbade any harm come to Lir. Bodhbh offered his daughter Aodh to Lir in Marriage to renew their friendship and soon Aodh bore twins named Fionnuala and Aedh. Later came another set of twins Fiacra and Conn.
Some years later Aodh died, and the king offered his sister–in-law Aoife in marriage to Lir. The children grew to love Aoife as if their real mother, but as time passed Aoife felt that Lir gave too much attention to his four children.
Aoife belonged to the Tuatha de Danaan and wickedly broke with tradition by using her own powers in an evil way. She drove her chariot hard until she came to Lough Derraghvarragh near Mullingar. There the children jumped off and ran for a bathe in the deep waters of that beautiful lake. One by one, when they were swimming, Aoife cast a spell which turned Fionnuala, Aedh, Fiacra, and Conn into beautiful swans as white as driven snow. That done she made the worst spell by sentencing her victims to three hundred years on the smooth surface of Derraghvarragh, three hundred more on the turbulent waters of the Sea of Moyle between Ireland and England, and the last three hundred at Erris in Mayo and an offshore island called Inis Guaire.
The deed done Aoife repented. Too late her magic could not undo the spell, so the four swans were endowed with the powers of speech, intellect, music and above all their nobility.
Lir travelled by horse to meet with Bodhbh. At a spot at Knockeyan on the shores of Lough Derraghvarragh he stopped to rest his horse. Hearing voices he observed four swans, in line, swimming hurriedly towards where he was standing. A swan spoke and he recognized the sweet tones of his daughter Fionnuala. The swan told him the whole story. A deeply troubled father, Lir continued his way to the palace of Bodhbh.
Being also a Tuatha De Danaan the king had a magical power in reserve. On hearing the story, he used his power to punish Aoife. He turned the wicked woman into a demon of the air where she would remain without setting foot on land.
Lir came to live near the lake to be close to his children. A law was made that no one Eire must ever kill a swan and that law has been observed to this very day. The time passed conversing with the children and listening to their song.
The four swans suffered a lot from hunger and cold on the open Sea of Moyle and when their three hundred years ended the children flew to the West of Ireland where they suffered just as miserable as at Moyle. A saintly man name Mochaombog came to the coast. He became friend of the lovely swans and cared for them at home. The King of Connaught came to take them for his queen, but Mochaombog resisted.
The Children of Lir ended their period of enchantment thankfully and the beautiful Fionnuala and her brothers Aedh, Conn, and Fiacra resumed their human shape, were baptized by their saintly friend and died.
Did it really happen? Well, we don’t fully know but every Irish Legend mixes truth with fantasy and somewhere in it there is a lesson for each generation on children. It’s a lovely story but a sad one too.


Monarch Business School Switzerland is happy to announce that recent PhD graduate and faculty member, Dr. Caroline Ntara from Kenya, has published an article with the International Trade, Politics and Development Journal of Emerald Publishing. The article is entitled “The International Business Landscape: A look at paradigms, research gaps and new realities. The content of the article is a direct outcome of her dissertation work within the PhD program at Monarch.
The article shows the interaction of the scholarship in International Business over time as well as pointing out historical blind spot with respect to methodology. The paper also addresses the critical point that IB Scholarship continues to consider the “firm” as the primary unit of analysis and that this limits the usefulness of its theories and stifles theory growth. It mentions that IB has borrowed heavily from other academic domains. The paper also addresses the usefulness of qualitative methodology and the use of research triangulation approaches to improve scholarship and enhance rigour. The article concludes by pointing out the changing international landscape and importance of societal level issues citing the appearance of topics such as: changing power relationships, economic nationalism, sustainable development, growth of populism, and new digital technologies.
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to analyse international business (IB) scholarship and present current gaps and new realities to enhance scholarly discourse.
Design / Methodology / Approach: The paper divides the scholarship into three distinct sections. First, it interrogates the changing definitions of the field from the 1880s to date. Secondly, IB paradigms are cross-examined while highlighting the understudied emerging interaction paradigm. Lastly, literature gaps, methodological gaps and new realities in IB are presented.
Findings: This research shows that IB inquiry has concentrated on firm-level paradigms, leaving the emerging interaction paradigm understudied. As a result, there is a deficit of novel ideas and limited research on critical emerging issues affecting IB. Further, simplistic methodologies are prevalent, making IB scholarship weak. Additionally, a majority of studies concentrate on the Americas, Europe and Asia, leaving Africa understudied.
Originality / Value: This research augments the need for scholars to cross-examine the best approach to apply in IB discourse and presents gaps calling for new insights and future research directions.
Dr. Ntara holds the position of Professor of Management Studies at Monarch Business School Switzerland. She is an experienced lecturer and researcher with a demonstrated history of working in the higher education industry. Dr. Ntara holds a Doctor of Philosophy and a Master of Philosophy in International Business from Monarch Business school, Switzerland, a Master of Business Administration in International Business from the University of Nairobi, and a Bachelor of Education degree in Economics and Business from Kenyatta University. She holds a certificate of Certified Public Accountancy from the Kenya Accountants and Secretaries National Examinations Board and is a TEFL/TESOL certified trainer. Dr Ntara has received extensive training and gained experience in curriculum development, module creation, course development, review of manuscripts and students research, online learner management and best practices in teaching and learning.
Dr Ntara is a strong research professional with in-depth knowledge in writing both academic and business research, analysis, and review of research outputs. She is an accomplished researcher having published a book and many articles in peer-reviewed journals. Her areas of academic and research interests are international business, trade, regional integration, trading blocs, trade policy, economic growth and development. She is particularly passionate about research that has the potential to bring change to the African Continent.
Currently, Dr. Ntara is a peer reviewer and journal selection expert with Enago – Crimson Interactive and Adjunct faculty at UNICAF University teaching students from the University of South Wales (UK) and UNICAF Zambia. She has previously worked for the Knod Foundation, an American based institution teaching students from New Charter University (US) and HELP University in Malaysia where she worked as a facilitator of Project-Based learning and the flipped classroom approach.

Dr. Ntara has taught and supervised Diploma, Bachelor and Masters students at the Kenya Methodist University for ten years. During this time, she held various roles including the MBA coordinator, distance learning departmental coordinator, examination officer and was involved and led several curriculum development committees. Before joining academia, she worked at Barclays Bank Head Office in Nairobi, Kenya. During her career, Dr. Ntara has received many recognitions including exemplary peer reviewer, dependable team member, and a notable researcher. Over the years, Dr. Ntara has held memberships in organisations such as the European Centre for Research, Training and Development (UK), the International Academy of African Business and Development (IAABD) and the Kenya Institute of Management (KIM).
In addition to conducting and supervising research, Dr Ntara has received invitations and participated in conferences such as those organized by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), Pan-African Strategic and Policy Research Group (PANAFSTRAG), Enago-Crimson Interactive, and the International Academy of African Business and Development (IAABD) as a guest speaker and panellist. Dr. Ntara is also a consultant and shares her research expertise with individuals and organizations keen on her areas of interest.


For the first time in like, a gazillion years, I’ve been reading books. Some have been for class, yes, but others I’ve read just because. So here’s my mini book review of everything I’ve read in the past few months.
My boyfriend, V, first gave me Twilight when he went to the States for a few days over the summer and his aunt bought it for me. I devoured the book in a day and a half. Once I read the book, I watched the movie (which I found meh). Read New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn shortly after. I found the entire storyline in general to have its ups and downs. Some parts of the book seemed to drag on forever, while others were rushed and over and done with in what appeared mere minutes. Breaking Dawn took me the longest to read, but I liked the way it was split into three sections, each of which offered a different point of view. In the end, everyone got their happily ever after. No shock there.
I took a class in September called “The Art of Writing Life,” which I was hoping would be a creative writing class about writing (auto)biographies. Instead, it was the most tedious of my classes where I read the pictured diaries/memoirs. The Diary of A Young Girl by Anne Frank was a collection of diary entries Anne Frank wrote when she was 13 years old, living as a Jew in hiding during WWII. Honestly, it was a really, really good book. It was raw and it was honest – just like a diary.
I hated the next book, The Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston, when I first read it. I found myself re-reading things I had already read and I was simply lost throughout the book. After analyzing the book in class, though, I understood the way it was written and what it was about and I fell in love with it. It’s written as a discontinuous memoir split into five “chapters.” Each chapter tells about one point in Kingston’s life and also contains a “story” that’s been passed down to her about her Chinese roots. Each of these stories has (what can be considered) a female warrior that can be matched to one of the people in Kingston’s life.
The third book, The Silent Woman by Janet Malcolm, was a snore. In class, we categorized it as an autobiography of Malcolm, a biography of Anne Stevenson and Ted Hughes, and as a biography of the biographies of Sylvia Plath. Honestly, after reading this book, I was still thinking, “So who is this Sylvia Plath chick and what happened to her?” This was the most brutal book I read all semester – it would have done much better as a documentary, or something on TV, than a book. Never reading that book ever again. And I don’t recommend it to anyone else either.
Next book after that was A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. The book was awesome! I loved the writing style, I loved the storyline – I really liked the book. In class, we discussed the issue about Frey being on Oprah and the Smoking Gun article and the fact that some parts of his book were made up. I remember just thinking, “Who cares?” Does it matter that parts are fake? He tells a good story? He tells a convincing story? And I personally feel there is a very, very blurry line between fiction and non-fiction anyway, which I probably why I failed to see why some people were so uptight about his book. All I know it that it was a good book. I liked the way it was written. And I like the story Frey told, real or made up – I liked it.
The last book of the class was The Peep Diaries, by Hal Niedzviecki. This book had me LOL-ing. It wasn’t really an autobiography or a biography. It was more a look a Peep Culture and Web 2.0 and what being online or on reality TV means. This book it a must read for people who like to come online and blog, tweet, etc. — In a nutshell, that was my English class of the semester.
I started reading the House of Night series by PC Cast and Kristin Cast when a friend lent me the books. The series is about a girl named Zoey something who gets marked by a Vampyre Tracker and then has to forfeit her human life to go attend the House of Night school as she prepares for her transformation into a vampyre (or death, whichever comes first). She becomes Zoey Redbird, with a crescent shaped moon tattoo on her forehead that quickly gets colored in (which is rare). She enters the school as a “freak” of sorts, being the only student with a filled in tattoo (everyone else who is not yet a vampire only has an outlined crescent moon shape). Eventually she becomes even more unique when tattoos keep appearing on her body and she learns that she has the ability to control five elements (earth, fire, wind, water and spirit), which again is rare and has never been known about in the history of vampyres.
The books are cheesy. And yes, I have read all four and am currently on the fifth one. And yes, I will most likely read the next book as well. But jeesh, Zoey’s always finding herself in trouble and then she always manages to get herself out. She’s got like 20 boyfriends – human, vampyre, fledgling, undead, etc. She’s… annoying. She’s a prude. The book itself is written in a very teen-ish language. “Lyke ZOMG!” Ok, it’s not that bad… but it is pretty bad. The cover of the next book kinda leads me to know what will happen in the book I’m reading now, Hunted.
Overall though, the idea of the series, with a school for vampyres, is catchy. However, there’s been so much happening in the books over such a short period of time – Zoey joined the House of Night in September (or October?) in Marked, and New Years just passed in Hunted. And each book contains an un-needed summary of everything that’s happened so far. If Zoey’s going to be a student at this school for 3.5 more years, there’s going to be plenty more books to come. Plenty more things Zoey will mess up and make right again. Plenty more Nyx worshipping and rituals and circle castings (which I find so irksome to read through). Hopefully as Zoey grows up and matures, so will the writing style.
There are more books I’d like to read, but it’s always hard to find the time. I wanted to read the Boy in the Striped Pajamas, but I ended up watching the movie instead. It was one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. It’s become one of my favorite stories ever! Maybe one day I’ll read the book as well. And with that, I’ll leave you with some humor that I found while searching the net:


On March 11, 2011, SCANCOR opened its new home in the Center for Educational Research at Stanford (CERAS), part of Stanford's Graduate School of Education. CERAS is a light-filled atrium building designed by Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill in the 1970s. Our new offices were designed by MKThink, a San Francisco architecture firm with extensive experience at Stanford and in academic institutions all over the world. The new facility has a decidedly Scandinavian accent, and offers dedicated desks for visitors as well as drop-in desks, a full kitchen, a prominent seminar room and a welcoming lobby library. As always, SCANCOR visitors work and study all over the Stanford campus.


In 2007, Valley Inspired Products published 'Your 2007 Guide to Understanding Oxygen Conserving Devices'. In addition to bench test product evaluations performed in VIP's test lab, the book contained sections outlining the history of long term oxygen therapy, the fundamentals of oxygen delivery, methods of oxygen conservation, and key issues in therapy with conserving devices.
Product evaluations included performance comparisons on all types of oxygen conserving systems that were available in 2006-7. These included pneumatic and electronic conserver regulators, pulse-dose liquid oxygen (LOX) systems, and portable oxygen concentrators (POCs, which at the time were a relatively new entry in LTOT). Performance characteristics like pulse volumes, triggering sensitivity, and delivered FiO2s were reported.
The aim of publishing this data was to give everyone from oxygen users to clinicians to equipment providers the necessary information to make informed decisions regarding the appropriate use of OCDs. While the specific product data and analysis contained in the latter half of the book may be considered outdated today, the bulk of the material that makes up the first sections of the publication were as relevant then as they are now.

If you are interested in purchasing a hard copy of the book, please call us to inquire about availability. VIP also can provide a digital copy in PDF form for a minimal fee.

Deep in the ocean, in a world not so different from our own, live the merpeople. Their communities are spread throughout the oceans, seas, and freshwaters all over the globe.
When Serafina, a mermaid of the Mediterranean Sea, awakens on the morning of her betrothal, her biggest worry should be winning the love of handsome Prince Mahdi. And yet Sera finds herself haunted by strange dreams that foretell the return of an ancient evil. Her dark premonitions are confirmed when an assassin’s arrow poisons Sera’s mother. Now, Serafina must embark on a quest to find the assassin’s master and prevent a war between the Mer nations. Led only by her shadowy dreams, Sera searches for five other mermaid heroines who are scattered across the six seas. Together, they will form an unbreakable bond of sisterhood and uncover a conspiracy that threatens their world’s very existence.
Beware spoilers ahead!
This was recommended to me by my GR friend Alyssa ! Click on her name to read her review. A few years ago back when this book came out I thought that it was some silly mermaid book. I wasn’t a fan of mermaid books so I thought that it would be best if I didn’t read it. The synopsis didn’t grab me either. Then I came across Alyssa’s review I knew I had to at least give it a try. I am very happy to see that I enjoyed it!
The book starts off with a prologue. In the prologue there are some water witches who are performing a ritual/spell trying to keep a monster Abandon at bay. The witches then proceed to do a chant in which it is mentioned that six girls have to stop the monster.
The readers are then taken to Serafina who is waking up from a nightmare involving witches, a chant, and a monster. She is woken up by her mother. That night she will be tested to see if she is fit to rule and her betrothal to her best friends cousin will be official.
Her mother are her and are not close. Most of the time her mother is pressuring her to be perfect then other times she is disappointed in Sera. Sera is absolutely nervous about the night is going to bring. She has an unsettling feeling partly because of her dream and partly because she is going to see her betrothed after two years. At this point she is not sure whether or not he truly cares for her.
As she is about to get ready for the night she sees someone in her mirror. It was the woman from the dream. Sera thinks that this is impossible but as if she is in some sort of a trance she reaches for the mirror to follow the woman through. She is interrupted when a man with fully black eyes starts approaching Sera. He is about to come into her room when Sera screams altering one of the palace staff.
She decides to forget about what happened and stars getting ready for her test. She manages to get through the first test without too much trouble. As she has finished her second test the palace is attacked by assassins. Her mother ends up with a poisoned arrow through her side. Sera and Neela (her best friend) flee and thus starts their journey for the witches and the other girls mentioned in the prophecy.
While I sat there reading about the attack I was absolutely terrified! The action was unstop and it was extremely terrifying what all the girls went through in this book. And there are deaths in this book! I so did not except any of this! I thought that it was silly and boring mermaid book. I am so happy to be proven wrong!
Sera and Neela’s friendship was so sweet! I was smiling like a fool every time I read about to two of them. Ling, Becca, and Ava were really nice as well. I don’t know enough about Astrid to like her character nor dislike her character. I was so surprised by the tremendous growth that Neela and Serafina went through in this book. That doesn’t normally happen in the first book of the series.
The idea behind the mer world fascinated me! I liked reading about waterwitches. The best part of this book are the diverse characters. Neela is an Indian, Astrid is from Greenland, Ling is from China, Ava who is blind is from Mississippi, Becca is from Atlantica (an ancient continent that formed about 2,000 million years ago) and I think Serafina is from Italy. Nearby her kingdom is Venice. The characters were also realistic.
The only reason that this isn’t a five star is because while I love the overall plot of the series and the direction it’s headed, I didn’t love this book. But nonetheless I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Overall this was a great read! I am eagerly waiting the sequels. I recommend it to anyone who wants to read a good mermaid series, fantasy fans, and a book series in which there are great female friendships.

Cune Press was founded in May, 1994, to explore innovative ways of bringing superior writing to public attention. We are a press. Our name is derived from “cunieform.” (In Latin cuni means “wedge.”)
The founders include Scott C. Davis, a freelance writer who was a conscientious objector during Vietnam and served as a social worker in Fulton, an old, working class neighborhood of Richmond, Va. After the Civil war, recently freed slaves came to Fulton make a statement: took jobs with the B&O Railroad, began to make payments on their own homes, and joined Mt Zion Baptist, Calvary Temple, and other churches. Their disciplined lives were their "art" and were also a political statement. Davis published The World of Patience Gromes: Making and Unmaking a Black Community with the University Press of Kentucky (Cune). In 1987, looking for a new writing project, he had traveled alone in a Syria that was still recovering from the massacre in Hama, five years earlier. His book The Road from Damascus: A Journey Through Syria was the first travelogue by an American in Syria for over a century (Cune).
Dr Mamoun Sakkal is a licensed architect, a PhD in Middle East history, a world class calligrapher who has won international competitions in the Kufic style Arabic script, and a typeface designer who works for Adobe and Microsoft. Sakkal also creates exquisite art that begins with calligraphy using a traditional brush and ink (www.sakkal.com). Sakkal was born in Aleppo in northern Syria.
Steven Schlesser is a sincere conservative of a pragmatic orientation, who loves history - especially British history. His first book - The Soldier, the Builder & the Diplomat - explores Custer, the Titanic, and World War I. It grew out of his studies on the problem of avoidable failure: what happens when human character flaws overwhelm reason, good sense, and technology. Schlesser explores the ways that the international safeguards to prevent war in 1914 were no more effective than the advanced technical design that supposedly made the Titanic unsinkable. Custer, as Schlesser narrates, could have obeyed orders from the chain of command and waited "for the cavlary" (ie. the large force a few days behind him). But he rushed into battle - hoping to make headlines that would fuel his political career, specifically his bid for presisdent later that year. (Steve's book is available from Cune.)
In the ancient Near East the development of cuneiform script—simpler and more adaptable than hieroglyphics — enabled a large class of merchants and landowners to become literate. Clay tablets inscribed with wedged-shaped stylus marks made possible a broad intermeshing of individual efforts in trade and commerce. Cuneiform allowed scholarship to exist, art to flower, and created what some commentators define as the world's first civilization. When the Phoenicians developed their sound-based alphabet, they expressed it in cuneiform.
The idea of Cune is the democratization of learning, the faith that rarefied ideas—pulled from their pedestals and displayed in the streets—can transform the lives of ordinary people. And it is the conviction that ordinary people, trusted with the most precious gifts of civilization, will give our culture elasticity and depth—a necessity if we are to survive in a time of rapid change.

The world of Mag Mell
Ever wonder what’s really over the rainbow?
According to Celtic folklore, Mag Mell is a place where souls go to live eternally in peace, ease and tranquility. Folklore has it dead wrong.
In the middle of a sting gone bad, Chicago cop Kit Rycroft is pulled into Mag Mell, a parallel world stuck in Victorian times. In Mag Mell, females aren’t born, they emerge, like Venus, from the foam of the sea to be the coddled mate to one particular man. But no one coddles Kit Rycroft. When she learns that she has three days to decide if she wants to stay, she starts counting the days.
Detective Inspector Sebastian Sullivan is the best in Londonderry when it comes to finding stolen women and returning them to their men. His own mate, Kit, however, is not at all like who he imagined. Sharp, opinionated and strong, she incites in him dual needs to possess her and to keep her safe.
When a local woman is kidnapped, Kit and Sebastian realize they’ll need to work together to save her. But can they learn to trust each other, save the victim and fall in love all in three days?
Three Days to Love, published by Melange Books, debuts on April 16.

I Wanna Take Me a Picture: Teaching Photography and Writing to Children, by Wendy Ewald, co-authored by Alexandra Lightfoot, is written for parents and teachers as an accessible and practical guide to getting children involved in photography. All participating teachers, teaching artists and Moore art education faculty and students who attend our LTP Workshops receive intensive training in LTP based on the lessons and teaching tools in this book. A new curriculum book is set for publication…look for updates about when it will be available.
Literacy Through Photography encourages children to explore their world as they photograph scenes from their own lives, and then to use their images as catalysts for verbal and written expression. In connecting picture-making with writing and critical thinking, LTP promotes an expansive use of photography across different curricula and disciplines, building on the information that students naturally possess. LTP also provides opportunities for students to bring their home and community lives into the classroom. Photographs can give teachers a glimpse into their students’ lives and, in increasingly diverse classrooms, give students a way to understand each other’s experiences.

Egypt is a country that awakens the imagination. What comes to mind for you—floating down the Nile, Pharaoh Tutankhamun and the ancient tombs, scarabs (famous beetle image) or sphinxes guarding ancient pyramids? Maybe your images tend more to pop culture of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in “Cleopatra” or the more modern films series “Indiana Jones.” Whatever the pictures that come to mind, Egypt is a country of ancient history, civilizations, delicious culinary dishes and adventures for senior travelers.
Egypt history spans from 5200 BCE until 3200 BCE when King Narmer unified Lower Egypt (made up of the Nile Delta) and Upper Egypt (the South area defined geographically by the Nile River which flows South to North). Alexander the Great conquered Egypt in 332 BC. Pharaohs would rule the city until 30 BC when Caesar Augustus annexes Egypt becoming a province of the Roman Empire. Exploring a brief history gives a perspective on Egypt’s ancient civilization allowing senior travelers to immerse themselves in the past.
Alexandria, the second largest city in Egypt after Cairo, will entice any traveler. Conquered by Alexander the Great in 332 BC, the Mediterranean port cities is an extraordinary display of scenery. A short journey from Cairo, many travelers make day trips between the two cities either by train, or hire a car if you want to enjoy the landscape. Sites to consider on a day trip are Pompey’s pillar and Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, both which are within walking distance. Walk the harbor and be sure to stop at a restaurant for grilled fish and a fennel salad, or a favorite squid with tomato, onion, chili, and cilantro. You will not be disappointed. Tipping is a custom not only at restaurants but anywhere you are provided service in Egypt. When finished with your meal head east along the Corniche to visit the Alexandria National Museum, formerly a palace where you will discover a beautifully restored Italianate villa exploring treasures of the city’s history. You also won’t want to miss Tanagra, beautiful Greek women statues discovered underwater in the Mediterranean.
Next a twenty-minute walk to Bibliotheca Alexandrina encompasses six specialized libraries, containing millions of trilingual books in Classical Arabic, English, and French. Visit the four museums and art galleries — planetarium and a manuscript restoration laboratory. Although the original Library lost in antiquity, Alexandria has recreated a stunning Bibliotheca to rival the ancient Library of Alexandria. Alexandria is a quiet city at night so check with your guide or hotel on best local eating and drinking establishments or make it an early evening before you to head to Cairo in the morning.
Cairo, the capital and largest city in Egypt, is an adventure for senior travelers wanting to explore antiquities of this ancient city. Set on the Nile, there are short excursions for everyone. Start with the Great Pyramids of Giza Necropolis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Seniors will view the three famous pyramids Khufu/Cheops, Khafre/Chephren, and Menkaure/Mykerinos, as well as the Great Sphinx. Pyramids were not only tombs, but a place to house items believed required in the afterlife. Egyptians believed that death on Earth was the start of a journey to the afterlife. This site will ignite your imagination by exploring this historic site. If you want to brush up on the history of the Nile Valley, visit the Egyptian Museum before heading out to the pyramids. Hiring a knowledgeable Egypt tour guide or Egyptologist will bring the site to life.
Next head over to Khan Al- Khalili located in the heart of Islamic Cairo. Khan Al- Khalili, an open-air bazaar, is a shoppers’ adventure of exotic items and souvenirs to delight any senior traveler. Remember to consult with your tour guide on customs and issues to be aware of when in Cairo. Before leaving Cairo, you will want to book a Nile cruise to enjoy food indigenous to the city with a show featuring belly dancing.
Many seniors love to scuba dive. Thistlegorm, one of the best dive sites in the world, is located on the west coast of the Sinai Peninsula in the Red Sea where a British army freighter sank in 1941 after being hit by German bombs during World War II. The ship was discovered in 1956 by Jacques Cousteau with the hulls full of World War II relics. Divers travel to Egypt from all over the world to dive this amazing dive site. Exploring the ship, divers discover Jeeps, guns, boots, cargo and other relics from the era while experiencing sea life that inhabits the boat.
After you have concluded your exploration of Cairo, head by air to the east bank of the Nile to Luxor. Luxor was the capital city to the Pharaohs during the height of their power from the 16th to 11th century. The ancient ruins of the Luxor Temple and Karnak, two graceful structures connected by a line of sphinx, will transport you back in time. Viewing the Luxor temple, admire the towering colonnade of 14 pillars 52-feet high with papyrus-umbel capitals. At the entrance, Egyptian Pharoah Ramses had created scenes of festivals and depictions of the wars fought in Syria, as well as statues of himself. In one of the temple halls, you will discover a shrine of Alexander the Great.
Karnak, an ancient Egyptian temple complex, dates back to 3400 - 3100 BCE. Known as the “Chosen of Places,” the ruins cover a large area where you will want to explore the Temple of Mont (the war god) and a southern temple erected to worship the goddess Mut. Between these two temples lays one of the world's largest temple complexes, the temple of Amon-Re(the state god). There is so much to explore at the site from statues of pharaohs, sphinxes, moon dogs, to great halls and hieroglyphics on temple walls.
Egypt is a country enjoyed by travelers of all ages. Seniors traveling to Egypt should explore a trip that has a guide to help tailor the excursions to accommodate any special requirements. A professionally arranged trip helps seniors experience Egypt and all the country has to offer worry-free.
One of the four cradles of civilization, Egypt offers an opportunity for senior travelers to explore extraordinary history, lush landscapes, sail the Nile while eating seafood delicacies, photographing hieroglyphics and wander museums while gaining knowledge of an ancient civilization.


History is one of the most important subjects that exist in the world today. Not only it helps you in learning from the past but rather it also contributes in devising a platform for building the Future. There are loads of books that have been written on History. Some books discuss a particular nation, some books discuss a particular continent and some books discuss the entire human civilizations that once dominated the world. History is surely a huge subject and it surely is something that needs to be promoted particularly among the Youth of Our society.
Sadly the trend of reading books is dying every passing day. The main reason behind this phenomenon is the massive changes that have taken place in our lifestyles in the 20th century. The technological boom has taken us away from books rather on the contrary we spend more time on our smart phone and internet. Under such a situation it is very difficult to pursue people to read historical books. To fill the gap we have developed a full time webpage linked with the history of the Human civilizations. The name of our page is “Flag Fen”. Since covering all the major aspects of history is a daunting task hence in this website we have only touched upon the Bronze Era of the Human Civilization.
The Bronze Era as can be grasped from the name is an Era in which the human beings finally succeeded in manufacturing bronzes. The human mind learnt the chemical process that actually contributed to the development of Bronze. The age is known for its massive innovations and revolutionizing technologies. There are many civilizations that come under Bronze Age such as the Indus Valley Civilization, Chinese Civilization and Egyptian civilization etc.
Since book reading is becoming extinct day by day hence in our website we have focused on documentaries. We have made several video documentaries on different ancient civilizations of the Bronze Age. The documentaries have been made with wonderful effects and high quality cameras. We have also downloaded many documentaries that are already available on the subject. The point is that rather going for dull books on the subject we have opted for a video movie in which different ancient ruins are shown and voice over explains to the audience what actually is being presented to them.
After videos the second thing which we have opted for are short blogs on different ancient Bronze Age civilizations of the world. The blogs have been written in simple language and as a reader you hardly get bored. Pictorial images have also been added in the blogs so that the reader can actually see what he is actually reading about. Some of the blogs have been written by our experts however we have also uploaded blogs of different well-known archaeologists as well. The blogs differ in subjects with main focus on nations and civilizations that once dominated the Bronze Age.
The third thing, which we have added in our page are different books that have been written on the subject of Bronze Age Civilization. If you are fond of reading heavy books on historical subjects then through our online library you can get the book of your choice downloaded. The majority of the books are available in affordable prices hence purchasing them will not be that difficult for you. Some of the books are available for free as well.
To avoid boredom, we have made this a kind of social interaction forum. After getting registered here you can always use our chat forum and share with the fellow members any new information you have. You can talk with your fellow members anytime you want. We want history to be promoted and the best way to promote it is to create social circles of history lovers. Every day new historical discoveries are made; if you come across any such discovery then you are free to share with us as well.
The site is very simple and you do not need to be rocket scientists to run it. A mere click will get the job done for you. The most boring page on this site is the about us page! Do not waste time here, move forward and discover the amazing world of Bronze Age Civilization.

Colour Crazy November Critical Mass
Meet at 6pm at Central Library M1
This month we encourage everyone to get on their brightest and most clashing colours ever..imagine a pot of rainbow paint has sloshed all over you + your bike. This is in celebration of our long standing critical masser Anna who is leaving our fair city....
Critical mass is a bike ride that happens in our city and cities all over the world every last Friday of the month.
Critical Mass rides began in San Francisco in 1992 and rides spread around the United States and the world with over 200 rides taking place in 2006.
Critical Mass has no leaders, and no central organization licenses rides. In every city that has a Critical Mass ride, some locals simply picked a date, time, and location for the ride and publicised it, and thus the ride was born. Critical Mass is an idea and an event, not an organization.
It is a great way to meet other cyclists and to have a fun bike ride. It is not a fast ride and often children come too, everyone is welcome to come and celebrate the bicycle!

Just a quick note about how absolutely amazing Norway is today.
I went to the bank, they sent me a text message with my password. I went to the book store, they sent me a text message when my books that I ordered came in. I went to the library and signed up for text messages to remind me when my books are due (okay I actually didn't do this, but you can!). I went to class and found out the teachers notify you by text message. I went to the gym and they sent me a text message when my member card was ready. You can even get texts about doctors appointments!
Who needs to talk to people anyways? Text messages are short, to the point and most of all, convenient. Talking is overrated.
On a side note, I also love online chat with companies. Today I chatted with a representative from the Ugg company...and got all the information I needed without saying a word. Amazing. :)

I sit back and try not to think about him with another girl, especially a girl I once considered a good friend. Every time I do, it creates a little fracture in my heart. I should move on.
