"This is the story of a man marked by an image from his childhood. The violent scene, whose meaning he would not grasp until much later, took place on the great jetty at Orly, a few years before the start of the Third World War.
On Sundays, parents bring their children to watch the planes... Of this Sunday, the child of this story would remember the frozen sun, the scene at the end of the jetty. Moments to remember are just like other moments. They are only made memorable by the scars they leave. The face he had seen was to be the only peacetime image to survive the war. Had he really seen it? Or had he invented the tender gesture to shield him from the madness to come? The sudden noise, the woman's gesture, the crumpling body, the cries of the crowd. Later, he knew he had seen a man die.
And sometime later, Paris was destroyed. Many died. Some thought they had won. Others were taken prisoner. The survivors settled underground. Above ground, Paris and no doubt most of the world was uninhabitable, riddled with radioactivity. The victors stood guard over an empire of rats. The prisoners were subjected to experiments apparently of great concern to the experimentors. Afterwards, the latter were disappointed--the others were dead, or went mad.
One day, from among the prisoners, they selected the man whose story this is. He had heard about the Director. He expected to meet the mad scientist, a Dr. Frankenstein. Instead, he found a gentle man who calmly explained that the human race was cut off from space, and the only hope for survival lay in time, a hole in time through which to send food, energy, supplies. The aim of the experiments was to send an emissary into time to summon the past and future to the aid of the present. But the mind balked at the idea. To awaken in another age was to be born again, fully grown. The shock was too great. So, having failed repeatedly, the experimentors began selecting subjects given to strong mental images. Having a memory of a certain time, they might be able to reinhabit it. This man was chosen because of his obsession with an image from the past.
At first he is simply ejected from the present and its certainties. They begin again. He does not die. He does not go mad. He suffers. They continue. On the tenth day, images begin to appear, like confessions. A morning in peacetime. A bedroom in peacetime--a real bedroom, real children, real birds, real cats, real graves.
On the sixteenth day, he is on the jetty. Empty. Sometimes he recaptures a happy day, but different; a happy face, but different; ruins; a girl who might be the one he seeks. He passes her on the jetty. She smiles at him from an automobile. Other images appear, merge, in that museum which is, perhaps, his memory.
On the thirtieth day, the meeting takes place. He is sure he recognizes her. It is the only thing he is sure of in this world whose richness amazes him. Fabulous materials everywhere--glass, plastic, velvet. When he recovers from his trance, the woman is gone.
The experimentors tighten their controls and send him back on the trail. Time flows by again, the moment returns. This time, he is close to her, speaks to her. She welcomes him without surprise. They are without plans, without memories. Time builds up around them, their only landmarks the flavor of the moment and the markings on the walls. Later, they are in a garden. He remembers that there once were gardens. She asks about his medallion--the dog tags he wore in the war which is yet to come. He invents an explanation. They stop at a tree trunk, covered with historic dates. She mentions an unknown name. As in a dream, he points beyond the tree and hears himself saying "that is where I come from," and he fall back, exhausted.
Another wave of time washes over him, the result of another injection perhaps. This time she is asleep in the sun. He thinks that, in the time it has taken him to return to her world, she may have died. She awakens, and again he talks to her. The truth being too fantastic to believe, he tells only the essentials--a distant contry, a long journey. She listens, not mocking him. Is it still the same day? He no longer knows. During endless walks they will take, a deep unspoken trust will grow between them, until he senses before them a wall..."

Have you read the story of Henry's Freedom Box by Ellen Levin and illustrated by Kadir Nelson? This is one of the many captivating and emotional stories that we are reading this month. It is the story of Henry Brown's ingenious escape to freedom.
Henry Brown was born a slave and lived with his mother working in their master's house until the age of about 10 (Henry did not know exactly how old he was), when he was given to his master's son. At that point he worked in a tobacco factory until he was a young man. Eventually, he met a young woman and was given permission to marry her. They lived together and had three children. One day a friend came to Henry with some horrifying news that motivated Henry to make a critical decision. He needed to decide how to make his escape to freedom. A random crate would give him the perfect idea to join the ranks of having one of the most infamous escapes to freedom in (American) slavery history.
Henry "Box" Brown escaped from Virginia to Philadelphia in 1849 in his freedom box. The account of Henry's escape is recounted in "The Underground Railroad" by William Still, first published in 1872. The illustration above is the lithograph created by Samuel Rowse in 1850, which inspired the incredible artwork by Kadir Nelson for this book.
A must read in my opinion, it's not only informative but moving, and it truly encompasses the emotions of heart-break and triumph of Henry "Box" Brown's story.
I hope you're having an informative and enlightening Black History Month!

The Fashioning Now project investigated the ways in which clothing is produced, used and discarded. The project outcomes included a set of educational activities and resources that comprised of an exhibition, a symposium, a project website and a book, which featured innovative research projects from Australian and international scholars and practitioners. Through these activities Fashioning Now proposed to highlight the diverse range of sustainable solutions currently being explored by researchers, designers and manufacturers, while predicting possible scenarios for a future fashion industry.
The book, Shaping Sustainable Fashion, is available from Routledge.
Project led by Alison Gwilt and Timo Rissanen.
Fashioning Now was assisted by the New South Wales Government through its Environmental Trust. Fashioning Now was also supported by the University of Technology, Sydney, and UTS Gallery.


In the meantime Frances and her brother went off to Europe for a few years where they stayed for various reasons. Some of them were financial. This is where Frances got her first taste of Sculpting and art. After her return she gets enlisted in the Boston Fine Art under Bela Pratt and later under Lorado Taft, Charles Mulligan and Vander Poel at Chicago Institute of Art.
A brief two years in New York City and then the final move to Toronto where she stayed and worked for the rest of her life. Her first visit to Toronto was as long ago as 1908. She lived with her father while showing some of her work with the Ontario Society of Artists. The City directory has her at an address on King Street and later on Jarvis Street. Soon she returned and started her studio on Lombard Street. Hunters Inn named because that is where they hunted down the rebels in the early days.
If you do not know anything about Miss Loring all you have to do is read her short biography written by Rebecca Sissler, called The Girls. This book is out of print at this time and is full of stories I have heard to boredom without really talking about her as an artist.
I knew her personally over many years. It was through her and Florence Wyle that I started this project back in 1963 that of writing their biographies. This never came to fruition and so you are getting for the first time a digested version of her as an artist.
Her passion was art and living. She did both of them right up to the end of her long life. She suffered little during her life accept that of not having enough money to get some of her fine works cast or done in materials other then plaster.
I had the pleasure of visiting her studio that was just across from where I lived on Glenrose Ave where I resided from 1954 to 1968 with the acception of the times I spent in the U.S.A.
When I was approached to write their biographies I was living in New York City teaching and painting from all the sketches I was doing I that city. It was just going to be a matter of a few months at the most and their book would be ready for the printers. The truth is it never got there and I moved on to research what is known today as the Hayward Collection.
This collection can be seen in the Public Archives of Canada, Queen's University in Kingston, Concordia University in Montreal, plus smaller amounts of material in some Public Libraries of Ontario.
Taking photographs of an artists work is a pleasure for a photographer that has everything set up and in ideal conditions. Such was not the case with doing the works of Miss F.N. Loring. While in her studio she had the habit of wanting you to do something else under natural light at all times. The size of the works posed a problem and accessibility the other. If you knew her studio you would understand my situation a little better. All of thse problems were met and I got on with the job of sorting out what was her work and what was belonged to Miss Wyle who shared the same building. It was one thing to know them over the years but to do a book was another set of circumstances I thought would never finish. Added to all this she had never really made a complete list of her works just 225 photos to figure out over 65 years of work.
I followed both of these artists to their graves and much more later on to make sure that what I had was the documented information needed. How could I remember years ago what was going on in Canada and the U.S.A. in the the art world.
I can say one thing for sure "They" were not the only Women who took up the challenge of becoming a sculptor. There were a few in Canada and many more in the United States. I will not compare their works with what I found for it is a different story and set of circumstances. I enjoyed reading about them and can now talk a blue streak.
Within Canada there are Societies for art and they held their exhibitions once a year either in Toronto one year, Ottawa the next and Montreal the next. I think most of them were held not more then two weeks of any given year. If you got to them you were lucky for you just had to wait until the new show turned up more works. They had their charter and rules for operation and the artists had to comply to the rules.
By 1929 the Sculptors got together in Ontario and Quebec and started their own Sculpting Society for Ontario. Where it is working out of Toronto in this 2003.
About the work done by this Woman Sculptor we go back to the influences of Lorado Taft who was trained in the French manner. He worked large works most of the time as I gather information from the Chicago Art Institute. He was very dedicated and honest about what he taught. His biographies of his years in Paris are a delight to read. I have been waiting over ten years for the finished biography in the process of completion.
As I mentioned in the other biographies that the art could only survive when her got commissions. These commissions I mentioned you had to submit your design and get judged by a jury. Half the time the jury knew nothing or very little about art. One of them whom I will not mention had a high position in the Banking business. Others held positions of importance in saying who gets what, when. I will not go into every building that was built from the Old Toronto City hall to the Ontario Parliament Buildings to impressive office buildings that are now torn down in Cabbagetown. Little is left of these fine old buildings let alone the records.
As Miss Loring said to me one day, "they know where I live and what I do... I do not need an agent to act on my behalf. By the time I met her in the early 1950's she was getting passed by and sculpting was not being incorporated into the new buildings. Mr. Marani, of Marani Morris Braithewaite and Dick were the only ones using Miss. J.Jones to design reliefs.
Fortunately the national Gallery of Canada has purchased a few of her works and this had placed her in a class by herself. Windsor's Wilistead Art Gallery has one work, London Ontario Woodstock and the Art Gallery of Ontario. I may have left out a few galleries but no one really has much of her work. The War Museum has her little bronzes which are a delight to look at in memory of the workers in the munitions plants During WWI.
The difficulty again is to find signed works. So much of her work was sculpted or what I call "Pointed" and sent back for her to finish. How much of that she did I do not know. Her works tend to be large and impressive. Most people knew her Lion memorial that once was situated at the beginning of the Queen Elizabeth highway now placed in a park near the lake Col. Gzowski (renamed).
The Queen Elizabeth Building at the Canadian National Exhibition of "Mother and Child" done in a polymaterial was started before I went to Colorado in 1957. Her figure for Saint Michael's Hospital was a grant from an architect. Her O'Keefe panels for the Board Room (4) were nice bas relief's. The approach to the Rainbow Bridge at Niagara Falls "Deer relief" plus some machinery but again no signatures of who did them. We cannot her War memorials in Augusta Maine, Galt Ontario. The Sir Robert Borden statue in Ottawa was her last big work to get cast in bronze. The portraits she did of Doctor Fred. Banting is amongst her favourite works. Other busts are in my collection and show her sensitive work in portraying these people. Her Eskimo and child weighs in the tons and sent off for a show in Italy. The work is now in the national gallery collection. Her inspired works are most interesting and were a pleasure to learn about.
Her attempts to leave something for young sculptors by way of inheritance was set down in her 25 page will. I have not tried to find if they acted on her suggestions. She knew more people then anyone I know from famous musicians to professors and business people that came and went.
It is hard to condense so much of her life into such a short biography but every sculptor in Canada has gone through the same purifying process. Without her my life would of taken a different twist. It has taken years to get this far in carrying on what she told me was so important to our culture.
She welcomed most people with open arms and was glad to see me most times even though she was limping around the last few years of her life. How can you put into writing the feelings you have about such a great person.
She lives long and lone in my life as she said once to me. "I know that you will do a good job of biographing our lives." It has been a long time in coming but it is here for you to share whether you are a modern painter sculptor or writer.
I have to thank her along with Florence Wyle for their patience with me and our determination to make known what is in this Online work.

The Shambhala Meditation Group of Troy is part of Shambhala, a global social movement to bring kindness, insight, meditation, and sacredness into society.
“Shambhala” is the name of a mythical kingdom in Central Asia where the people enjoyed harmony, good health, and well-being. The basis for such an enlightened society is the people’s confidence and respect for inherent goodness, wisdom and dignity–in themselves, in each other, and in society. The wisdom that enabled the culture and community of Shambhala to flourish has been handed down from teacher to student, and is the core of our offerings. The kingdom of Shambhala is a model for the creation of enlightened society here and now.
The Shambhala teachings are grounded in ancient wisdom and practical knowledge from many traditional cultures, especially teachings from ancient Tibet. These teachings begin with the understanding that all beings are basically good, and that life is worth living. We call this a path of spiritual warriorship, which here means living a life of fearlessness, gentleness, and intelligence. The Shambhala teachings emphasize being in the world, and bringing together everyday life, work, family, and social action with the path of meditation. The teachings focus on how to help this world. In essence, Shambhala is about living a full human life, right in the midst of challenges.
“The Shambhala teachings are founded on the premise that there is basic human wisdom that can help to solve the world’s problems. The wisdom does not belong to any one culture or religion, nor does it come from the West or the East. Rather, it is a tradition of human warriorship that has existed in many cultures at many times throughout history.” — Chögyam Trungpa, Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior
The Shambhala Path — discovering one’s own innate goodness and the goodness in society
It is the Shambhala view that every human being has a fundamental nature of goodness, warmth and intelligence. This nature can be cultivated through meditation, following ancient principles, and it can be further developed in daily life, so that it radiates out to family, friends, community and society. In the course of our lives, this goodness, warmth and intelligence can easily become covered over by doubt, fear and egotism. The journey of becoming fully human means seeing through fear and egotism, and waking up to our natural intelligence. It takes kindness–to ourselves and others–and courage, to wake up in this world.
The journey of awakening is known as the path of the warrior, as it requires the simple bravery to look directly at one’s s own mind and heart. The essential tool for doing this is mindfulness meditation. As we continue on the Shambhala path, we learn many other practices, to help us break through the ancient crust of ego and awaken to the joy of fully living in this world. Awakening and opening, we discover the world to be naturally sacred, pure and full of beauty. We begin to see clearly the goodness and wisdom of others, and to feel compassion to help them in myriad ways.
Shambhala vision is rooted in the contemplative teachings of Buddhism, yet is a fresh expression of the spiritual journey for our time; it is available to practitioners of any tradition. Our lineage draws on the wisdom of the Kagyu and Nyingma schools of Tibetan Buddhism, as inherited by founder of Shambhala, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and his son and spiritual heir, Sakyong Mipham. In the mid-1970′s Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche began to introduce teachings on Shambhala vision, based on his encounter with the Western world, and on the specific wisdom imparted from the Buddha to King Dawa Sangpo, the first sovereign of the legendary kingdom of Shambhala. This tradition teaches how to live in the secular world with courage and compassion.
“In essence, the emphasis of the Buddhist path is to help us attain enlightenment, and the emphasis of the Shambhala path is help us create and maintain a good society. When we put these two together, we have the Shambhalian Buddhist view of enlightened society.”

As an educational and reference resource, Time-machine.Earth offers a revolutionary way to explore Australian history through animations zoomable in space and time. More ...
Temporal Earth turns the dates and places of history into interactive data-driven animations in space and time. The result is similar to Google Earth, but with the additional ability to travel through time and see history unfold before your eyes. Multiple animated geographical layers combine to provide a context to historical dates, with collections of photographs and other archives providing windows into moments in history.
In the following video, Temporal Earth’s founder Matthew Coller demonstrates how the colonial history of Australia can seen in a revolutionary new way, and uses archival photographs to explore the history of Australian aviation.
Our flagship visualisation Time-machine.Earth (still under development) combines a vast range of datasets into a visual synthesis of Australian history: convict ships, explorers, expanding pastoral settlement, Gold Rush sites, telegraph lines, railways, air routes, and WW2 bombings of northern Australia. The timeline can be zoomed in to view a year, month or day, or zoomed out to see the 65,000-year antiquity of human arrival in Australia.
Temporal Earth is still a work in progress and we are looking for funding and collaborations with academic researchers, educators, libraries, archives and museums, to bring history to life through this technology. Please email email@example.com if you would like to discuss your ideas.


D. The Book That Made Us Modern: Boccaccio’s Decameron
Thomas Simpson, Associate Professor of Instruction, Italian
Norris University Center
The Decameron, by Giovanni Boccaccio, is the book that presages the modern world in all its paradoxical exuberance. Written in the wake of the Black Death, the hundred tales in the Decameron reveal the rich panoply of humanity as a fabric of individuals of every imaginable class and condition, each trying as best they can to survive the universal challenges of daily life. Cruelty and kindness, lust, and spirituality, hypocrisy and sincerity clash bitterly and co-exist tenderly in a literary monument of the Middle Ages that heralds the advent of modernity.
In this course, we will read the Decameron , examine its thematic and formal architecture, and conduct close readings of many of the tales.
Please obtain the book and read the Prologue and Introduction prior to first class.
Fall 2017: Course D: Required Text: Giovanni Boccaccio, The Decameron, trans. by G. H. McWilliam, Penguin, 1995, or trans. by Wayne Rebhorn, Norton 2013.


How Did Your Garden Grow?
TASC ‘the architecture school for children’ another exciting project drawing upon the city of Manchester as a rich resource
120 children from four schools from Moss Side and Hulme explored the story of Manchester Piccadilly Gardens, artists from tasc, heritage specialists, staff from archives + Manchester Central Library, North West Film Archive at Manchester Metropolitan University, staff and students from EdLab MMU and North west Heritage specialists.
The children involved in this project imaginatively peeled back the layers of time to chart the amazing changes Piccadilly Gardens has been through over the past 500 years.
This was a great opportunity for the children to have first-hand experience of exploring the city space, followed by interactive studio sessions in the city’s cultural venues, where they were encouraged to develop their own exciting ideas. Using archive film footage, collage, digital mapping the children reflected their understanding and created books about the gardens history and how they would like the gardens to evolve in the future. The project brought together all the work created by the young peopIe, families, community groups. The work was co-curated and formed an exhibition in Manchester Central Library. The Exhibition was opened by the Lord Mayor of Manchester and ran for six months.

Recently our local library held its semi-annual book sale, and I bought several books that I thought I could use for my cards. I needed a birthday card for my son-in-law, whose family is of Irish descent. I looked through the atlas I bought and found this great map of Ireland which became the background for my card. I also used a large piece of the Atlantic Ocean for the blue background!
When I was blog-hopping, I noticed that the Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog's challenge was "It's a Man's World, " so I thought this card would be perfect! Besides the map, I used SU's Old Olive cardstock and SU's Sincere Salutations birthday stamp which I stamped in SU's Basic Black ink. The ribbon and thread are from Michael's, and the button was an "extra" that was attached to a sweater I bought!


So how do things become extinct? Asks Tarkine as he takes two children through the wonder-world of nature’s eco and bio-diversity systems in book one. In his illustrated drawings, David has Tarkine explain how some things have become out of balance and what we, as humans, can do, to correct this.
Tarkine’s story (which is the name of the wilderness area where the last tigers were seen in the wild) rhymes to the rhythm life, and we all should appreciate that, says David.
The second book has Tarkine taking off in his Tiger Moth to visit the planet’s most endangered species. Tarkine and the children travel from Antarctica to the Arctic and from Africa to the Americas. Particular reference is paid to Australia’s endangered species, including the Great Barrier Reef.
Younger children will be drawn to the pictures and story rhymes he says and older children will follow how complex things are made simple through the combination of drawings and scientific facts from the World Wildlife Fund(WWF).
Ideally, David says the books can allow adults to read to or with their children, and then discuss the important issues. Schools, particularly could benefit.

Tutor, a handbook for tutorial programs published by Book-Lab, Inc., describes how tutors can help children learn to read. It discusses the roles of Tutor, Collaboration, Execution, and Self-advocacy. It provides examples of successful tutoring methods and includes helpful checklists for evaluating a tutorial program. It also highlights important factors to consider in selecting a tutor. Tutor is an excellent reference tool for teachers and parents of children who are struggling with reading.
A handbook for tutorial programs focuses on the development of strong relationships between tutors and students. Positive relationships between tutors and students promote academic and social outcomes. These relationships are particularly important for students from low-income or first-generation backgrounds. Resources in this handbook are based on practices of high-performing tutoring programs. However, they may be adapted to the needs of specific community partners. They are designed to increase tutors’ knowledge and skills and ensure that students make academic progress.
Students’ goals and challenges should be discussed. The tutor should be sensitive to student needs and offer constructive feedback. Tutors should engage the students in discussions and give ideas for homework, proofreading, and research topics. It is also important for tutors to maintain a high standard of professionalism. The tutor should never give up. Students should be able to gauge their own progress, so tutors should demonstrate patience and sensitivity. They should not accept that students have difficulties in everything. Instead, they should be able to think and explain complex ideas in terms that students can understand.
The Collaborating for Student Success Guidebook is a comprehensive resource for fostering student success across the country. The handbook is a practical reference for practitioners, trainers, and LMC facilitators. It features practical case studies and interactive multimedia links. Learners, educators, and the community are all involved in collaboration to ensure academic, behavioral, social, and emotional success. By providing resources that facilitate the collaborative process, these guides can help educators and trainers improve their practices and maximize the potential of their programs.
Collaborative activities enable students to learn from each other and develop their existing skills and knowledge. They can also learn where they might stumble and why. Through conversations with their peers, they can gain insight into how academic conventions affect writing. They can then refine their own writing to reflect what their peers expect. It is also possible to tie grades to the amount of student learning. A collaborative paper is an excellent opportunity to develop and enhance students’ creative thinking skills.
The term execution refers to the act of running a program or instruction. In a tutorial program, the process of execution refers to the process of carrying out an instruction by a computer. There are many ways to perform an instruction, but the most basic one is by typing it into a computer. Fortunately, notepad++ has many features, including syntax highlighting. In addition, you can use any text editor with C syntax support, including Notepad++.
To teach self-advocacy, a conceptual framework and direct instruction are used. This holistic approach reflects a link between academic and non-academic learning processes. Creating a clear sense of self is a foundation for successful self-advocacy. When students are able to recognize and assert their rights, they will be more willing to advocate for themselves and others. However, this strategy can also lead to failure.
Teaching students about self-advocacy includes helping them navigate their lives and identifying their rights and needs. Teaching self-advocacy is also about communicating the importance of understanding a student’s individual needs and communication styles. In a special education program, teaching students to identify social cues and understand their own learning styles is an essential part of teaching self-advocacy. However, it is often difficult to teach self-advocacy to students without extensive knowledge of the topic.


Trigger Point Dry Needling: An Evidence and Clinical-Based Approach by Jan Dommerholt and Cesar Fernández-de-las-Peñas
The first part of the textbook discusses current aspects of myofascial pain provoked by myofascial trigger points and the relevance of muscle pain to different musculoskeletal chronic pain conditions. The introductory section includes a comprehensive review of myofascial pain, the neurophysiological mechanisms of dry needling, fascial aspects of needling therapies, and safety guidelines of dry needling.
The second and main part of the textbook is focused on clinical applications of deep dry needling targeted at inactivating myofascial trigger points located in muscles from the head and neck to the feet. This part is a unique feature, as no previous text has covered the application of deep dry needling of myofascial trigger points from a clinical point of view.
The third part of the textbook includes other needling approaches—superficial dry needling, Western medical acupuncture, Intramuscular Stimulation, and Fu’s Subcutaneous Needling—which may be applied to myofascial trigger points or other painful locations.
ON-Point Dry Needling program provides 20 CEU’s from NUHS. The program is open to all practitioners (DC, PT, MHT, MD, NPc, Pac, OT,)

One of the more unfortunate patterns I’ve observed as a Pastor is when people love Christian books more than they love THE Book. When it comes to growing toward Jesus, there is no substitute for reading the actual Bible, and then adjusting your life according to the truths found within it. Don’t get me wrong…reading the latest Christian best seller can be a huge encouragement and challenge to your faith. However, as Christians the Bible is primary, and therefore warrants the top position on our reading list.
That being said, there are a TON of outstanding resources available that can supplement (not replace!) and deepen your understanding and application of the Bible. Here are a few suggestions, the books are listed in order of their complexity:
Howard Hendricks was a long time professor at Dallas Theological Seminary, and found that his students often lacked a basic strategy in approaching their study of the Bible. “Living By the Book” was his answer to that problem.
These books are for those who REALLY want to nerd out on the historical, archaeological, and scientific evidence supporting some of the Biblical stories. These two volumes are more like resource materials than actual books. They are very dense with information, and are written in outline format so it’s easy to locate any specific questions you might have.
Go to this link and type in whatever questions you might have about the Bible. The answers you get will be clear, concise, and extremely helpful. This is a great resource.
Here’s what the Bible Project says about itself: “The Bible Project is a series of animated videos that walk through the narrative of the Bible book-by-book and theme-by-theme.” These videos are fantastic.
Logos Bible software
If you have some extra dollars to spend, Logos is the very best Bible study resource I am aware of. With Logos you can look at any passage in the Bible, and easily access the original language, historical context, and a bunch of great theological perspective from respected commentary writes. You should get Logos if possible!
Are you looking for help in developing a personal Bible study strategy for the next year? In January, Riverview will be hosting a Bible Basics Workshop to help equip you for this very purpose. In this workshop we will talk about practical ways to get into the Bible and let it influence our lives. This one-day workshop will be held across all of Riv’s venues through the month of January. For details and registration, head to rivchurch.com/events.


1. I sent in my deposit for school a few days ago. I've committed myself!
It's a gorgeous day. Global Warming has brought Spring to this corner of the world a bit early this year. I keep waiting for the temperature to drop back down to 40 (degrees, Fahrenheit), but so far the warmth seems to be sticking. Walking to the coffee shop this morning: Birds: twitter-twitter, chirp chirp, squeak; Flowers: little purple clusters atop 6" electric green stems, teeny-tiny daffodils (which are probably not technically called "daffodils" but look just like 'em), a carpet of purple spreading across a lawn, barely thawed for just a couple weeks (This carpet blooms every year, a little magical oasis in an otherwise average neighborhood), clusters of broad tulip leaves hinting at their blooms yet to come, and buds on trees. Buds on trees! What an amazing moment this is... the first time one sees, all of a sudden, buds on the trees. Little tiny green things. Different for each tree. Different shapes, colors, densities. They POP out, as if from nowhere, all of a sudden this brown/grey armature, which has stood silent for the length of winter, stretches out and yawns. A great big loud yawn followed by a sigh. A sigh of release. The release of the little buds that tell us life is happening again. That the Sap is flowing. That the Story continues.
Speaking of Stories...
3. I've been watching "Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth with Bill Moyers". It's a PBS series that was produced in the late 80's. It's kind of like storytime for adults. It's fabulous. Bill Moyers sits in for the everyday person as he probes (the late) Joseph Campbell to talk about the truths that he's come upon during his lifelong search for deep human meaning, and connectivity between cultures. Campbell has met the mysteries of life, he's heard the human stories, he's seen beyond the bounds of the everyday and he speaks about what he's learned very openly and enthusiastically. - This collection requires listening, as it is primarily a documented conversation, although some topics are illustrated with images and documentary footage. The major themes it explores are: "the need for modern myths that fit our changing world, people's search for a hero in their everyday lives, the role of love, romance and sacrifice in myth and in practice, and the concept of eternity in the context of various religions" (from the description on Netflix). This series, or excerpts of it, would be a great supplement to any liberal arts class, and to any person's life in general. Joseph Campbell shows us that all human beings have the same core challenges and questions, and respond to the mysteries of life in remarkably similar ways.


The Writer's Prerogative: In Conversation With Ajit Baral (Director, Ncell Nepal Literature Festival)
1) How was the response to this year's Literature Festival as compared to when it started?
"The response to and appreciation of the Festival has grown exponentially - this year the turnout was lower than expected due to the rains. With the high-level of prep work that is required, an engaged audience like the one this year is very heartening. The original idea was a pitch for a book promotion by Fineprint. Happily, Ncell took it to the next level and wanted a full-fledged festival to promote Nepali literature.
We are a small group of organizers but over time, there are plans to institutionalize the event. The Festival is a first for and in Nepal. We were unsure how it would be received and how the public would respond."
2) How has it contributed to and/ or spurred the literary sphere in Nepal?
"The Festival is a celebration of books: a forum to meet writers, for fans and readers to engage in dialogue. The relationship between the writer and the audience is crucial - increased popularity and exposure is vital to the success of the Festival. It is also imperative to encompass the concerns and preoccupations of foreign writers so as to build an understanding of what literature is and can be.
To be able to live and sustain one's life through writing and literature is still difficult. A few talented writers are able to do that now."
3) What is the primary achievement of the Literature Festival since it began?
"It is difficult to pinpoint an exact achievement with certitude. Thousands of people attend the Festival which means that it has helped broaden their understanding of literature and refined their taste in books and helped develop "a sense of discernment on what is worth reading." We wanted to project the idea of literature as glamorous and a part of popular culture too. There is, certainly, a heightened interest in writing and literary pursuits and, thus, more and more people are taking up writing. Hopefully, the same can be said of people who can and will survive on their writing."
4) How do you see the role of participation and the public imagination in the Literature Festival?
"We were careful not to limit the event as a purely literary program. We tried to ensure the inclusion of non-literary topics and themes because literature engages continually with society and the issues of the day - samaj and sahitya! The audience was invited to engage with topical issues and this means that non-literary people from different walks of life would get interested in different aspects of writing and the literary tradition. Adding the 'glam factor' is important for participation."
5) Does the Festival plan on expanding to other cities and towns in Nepal? If so, which Nepali writers/authors are best suited for a discursive festival such as this?
"Ncell was keen to take the Festival outside the Valley but we are still working on it. We might do a festival in Pokhara. Talented and emerging writers who have struck a chord and are able to sustain crowds are: Buddhi Sagar, Ambar Nepali, Nayan Raj Pandey, Kumar Nagarkoti among others."
6) What developments do you see or foresee in Nepali literature in the next five years?
"Nepali literature has changed a lot over time. When Fineprint first opened its doors, we were working with 1000 copies; now we print more than 5000. For a recent book, the initial print was 35,000. Concomitantly, the Nepali book market has grown alongside an increase in the quality of writing and writers. New and emerging writers are writing better books leading to a strong publishing industry. Our hope is a greater surge in literary talent in Nepal and more writers of quality who will survive and thrive through and on writing."


Entry 47, April 23rd, 2011, 5:05pm (ship time GMT -5)
Course: SSE, Speed: 18-19 knots
Light swell from N, wind from E
We're steaming South to Colon on the last day of my seventh cruise. The Lady G is loping along with a strange gait, as the sea is rolling in long low swells from almost directly astern. I'm watching the shadows on the back deck move more than half a meter as the ship rolls.
The weather is clear though, and it as nice an afternoon as one could ask for. The motion of the ship is a far cry from the stories I've been reading about lately – I found a book titled “A Million Miles in Sail” by John Herries McCulloch, a slightly grumpy British sailing captain who caught the end of the great age of clipper ships. The last story I read had his ship caught in the teeth of a storm around Cape Horn, making 12 knots without carrying any sails (due to the ferocity of the wind), the lee rail buried in six feet of water and ice floes occasionally smashing across the deck.
The book itself is not so much a biography as a collection of transcribed stories, most of them typical of what is probably told around the wardroom table when the ship is becalmed at night. Each chapter begins with a tale that is in roughly chronological order with the chapters on either side of it but quickly branches out into a discussion of average temperatures at the equator or the differences between Antarctic and Arctic icebergs and usually ends with a trip around Cape Horn (legitimately enough, he did round the cape twenty six times).
I say slightly grumpy because he prefaces the book with a paragraph or two on the great collection of myths people have embraced over the years about sailing and how he intends to dispel as many of them as possible with this book. He carries a bit of a chip on his shoulder when it comes to stories of forecastle cruelty and barbarism, asserting that most of the sailors he lived with were quiet, hard-working men and that the tales of drunken, swearing hulks who drag their knuckles onto deck only to fight and mutiny are the product of overly imaginative, land-dwelling hack fiction novelists. He also elucidates the reader on several of the differences between American and British sailors, asserting the latter's superiority on most counts but grudgingly allowing us a few small victories.
Despite the need of a good editor, it is an entertaining book.
This is the end of our stay in the Caribbean, and I'm sorry to see it go. There are a few places I haven't explored fully, such as Cartagena or Aruba, and a couple I barely managed to touch at all, such as Santa Marta and Jamaica. Still, I have seen a lot, and have stuck to at least some semblance of a budget, and so I am happy with how I have spent my time here. Sunday begins the crossing – I believe we stop in Curacao and Barbados before I am done with the bright waters of the Caribbean for good.

Felix is a dear friend of Uncle Bob, who picked up Bob on the side of a highway late one night when his vehicle was broken down and drove him safely back to Atlanta. That’s how you make lasting friends!
The Parrot Matchmaker is the first in a planned series of fiction and nonfiction books by Felix Oguntoye, drawing on the rich heritage of his Yoruba childhood and young adulthood in Nigeria.
The grandson of two different Yoruba Nigerian traditional healers and medicine men who could call to the spirits of lost souls across great distances and harsh conditions, Felix Ogontoye grew up in a westernized household within a traditional coastal village in Nigeria. Listening to the village storytellers, he became intrigued by the Yoruba culture and rituals of his ancestors and neighbors. When helping his grandmother sell her smoked fish at the village market, he befriended a smart and talkative parrot—who liked to sing Yoruba folksongs along with the children. That parrot inspired Felix’s first novel, The Parrot Matchmaker, published by Asalako Press in 2014.

The Blue Book Agreement 2020 is a significant development in the publishing industry. This agreement acts as a standard for the process of publishing and the remuneration of authors. It is aimed at protecting the rights of authors and ensuring that they receive fair compensation for their work. As a professional, it is important to understand this agreement and its implications.
What is the Blue Book Agreement?
The Blue Book Agreement is a document that outlines the terms and conditions of the relationship between publishers and authors. It was first introduced in the UK in the 1920s and has since been revised and updated several times. The 2020 version is the latest update, and it has been designed to address the many changes that have taken place in the publishing industry over the last few years.
The agreement covers a wide range of issues, including copyright, royalties, and the use of electronic media. It sets out the minimum terms and conditions that publishers must offer to authors, and it also provides guidance on how disputes should be resolved.
What are the Key Changes in the 2020 Agreement?
The 2020 Blue Book Agreement has several key changes that authors and publishers should be aware of. One of the most significant changes is the inclusion of new clauses that address the use of electronic media. The agreement now recognizes that electronic media is an important part of the modern publishing industry, and it sets out the terms and conditions that should apply to the use of this media.
Another important change is the introduction of a minimum payment for authors. The agreement now requires publishers to pay a minimum fee for each work they publish. This fee is designed to ensure that authors are paid fairly for their work, even if their work does not sell well.
How Does the Agreement Affect SEO?
As a professional, it is important to understand the implications of the Blue Book Agreement. One of the key implications is that publishers will now be required to pay authors a minimum fee for each work they publish. This means that publishers may need to increase the prices of their books to cover these additional costs. As a result, it is likely that publishers will become more selective in the manuscripts they choose to publish.
This could have an impact on SEO because publishers will be looking for high-quality content that is likely to sell well. As a copy editor, it is important to ensure that your content is of high quality and is well-written. This will increase the chances of your work being published and will also help to improve its ranking in search engine results pages.
In conclusion, the Blue Book Agreement 2020 is an important development in the publishing industry. It is designed to protect the rights of authors and ensure that they receive fair compensation for their work. As a professional, it is important to understand the implications of this agreement and to ensure that your content meets the high standards required by publishers. By doing so, you can help to ensure that your work is published and is successful in the modern publishing industry.

Teenage boy reading a book in nature
Recently we’ve witnessed a clear trend of the young adult novel and its increasing popularity. For my generation these novels seem completely conventional; it’s what we’ve grown up with. But this hasn’t always been the case. Many people date the birth of today’s young adult fiction, which lies between children’s literature and adult literature, back to S.E. Hinton’s classic, The Outsiders, published in 1967.
The Outsiders is a grim tale: the account of a 14-year-old well-intentioned misfit named Ponyboy who deals with young gang-like violence, death, and feelings of marginalization in society. He writes the book as a way to deal with the resulting grief. Though it deals with dark issues, the story is something of a reasonable tale. Ponyboy and his brothers represent victims of a violent, unguided lifestyle that is all too real.
Reality in adolescent literature has become scarce though. Consider the mega hits of the past decade in this category- The Hunger Games, Twilight, and Harry Potter (all series) are perhaps the top three. The Hunger Games series details a tradition of a battle reality show, for lack of a better phrase, between young men and women as well as the resulting revolution in a futuristic society. Twilight and its sequels are about the conflicting love between a young lady and a vampire, followed by a werewolf that is allegedly equally as charming. Need I provide a synopsis for the 7-piece Harry Potter series? For those who’ve spent the last ten years in a desert cave, JK Rowling’s “masterpiece” chronicles the coming of age of a young boy in a small English town, turned wizard at an institution for the magically oriented.
Maybe what is so distinct about these young novels isn’t the unrealistic circumstances, but instead the obvious power and special qualities of the main characters. Young Harry is dubbed “the boy who lived,” after surviving an attack from a deadly foe, and later receives the title “the chosen one,” meant to destroy this foe who would otherwise take over the world. He is the fastest broom rider at his school, and the most naturally gifted when it comes to performing spells. Hunger Games’s Katniss Everdeen is a prolific bow hunter with the courage to volunteer for her village’s spot to fight in the battle, which typically produces one survivor… the champion.
The bottom line is that these titles sell. They sell like a wildfire burns. The question is, why? Perhaps young readers need a hero; they crave to behold power, skill and triumph in the face of unbeatable circumstances and antagonists. What concerns me, and what I believe we should ask ourselves, is why everything short of magic and glory fails to satisfy young readers to the extent that they adore characters like Katniss and Harry. Not only were the champions of The Outsiders and Catcher in the Rye normal young adults—you might also argue that neither of them succeeded by the end of the novel. That would be the surface impression. Their triumphs were subtle and largely internal. Holden reconnects with his sister in the final scene as the only tangible result, but the reader concludes that he has become comfortable with his place in the world. Ponyboy isn’t as fortunate, but in the process of his hardship comes to terms with the cold realities of adult life.
The latter novels are distinctly less glorious, but they add value to society through their contemplative nature. These books force young readers to question their own impressions of happiness, ethics, and inspire thinking on the challenges and pleasures of growing up. This isn’t to say that these themes don’t extend to today’s young adult literature as well; in fact, each that I’ve mentioned is permeated by these topics. But, they aren’t the focus. They are presented in circumstances that make their verity a doubt. We cannot appreciate the lessons within for their simplicity and applicability to the real world.
Young readers today demand their life lessons with a side of fantasy, and a generous serving of victory for desert. Moving forward, let’s hope that the temptation to eat the carbs and the sugar before the steak doesn’t translate to literature, and more importantly, to learning life lessons at a young and impressionable age. The beauties of our world are simple, and for a generation prizing unrealistic achievement in magical lands, let us hope that they may continue to appreciate—to cherish—all the things they may actually encounter in their lives.

Racing to the Finish: My Story Dale Earnhardt Jr. book Racing to the Finish: My Story by Dale Earnhardt Jr. Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s only authorized book revealing the inside track on his final year of racing and retirement from the driver’s seat. “Time was running out on my charade… My secrets were about to be exposed to the world.” It was a seemingly minor crash at Michigan International Speedway in June 2016 that ended the day early for Dale Earnhardt Jr. What he didn’t know was that it would also end his driving for the year. He’d dealt with concussions before, but concussions are like snowflakes, no two are the same. And recovery can be brutal, and lengthy. When NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt Jr. retired from professional stock car racing in 2017, he walked away from his career as a healthy man. But for years, he had worried that the worsening effects of multiple racing-related concussions would end not only his time on the track but his ability to live a full and happy life. Torn between a race-at-all-costs culture and the fear that something was terribly wrong, Earnhardt tried to pretend that everything was fine, but the private notes about his escalating symptoms that he kept on his phone reveal a vicious cycle: suffering injuries on Sunday, struggling through the week, then recovering in time to race again the following weekend. For the first time, he shares these notes and fully reveals the physical and emotional struggles he faced as he fought to close out his career on his own terms. In this candid reflection, Earnhardt opens up about his frustration with the slow recovery, his admiration for the woman who stood by him through it all, and his determination to share his own experience so that others don’t have to suffer in silence. Steering his way to the final checkered flag of his storied career proved to be the most challenging race and most rewarding finish of his life.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
One winter’s evening three-year-old Makiko Kohara goes missing from a mall in western Japan while shopping with her family. When Chief Inspector Kenji Inoue of the Fujikawa police gets the call, he is playing with his own small son, Yuichi. Disturbed by the news, he mounts a search for the little girl, convinced she simply wandered off and all will be well as little girls are not abducted let alone killed in Japan. But once he gets to Seatopia, the new, western-style shopping complex, Inoue discovers the girl’s disappearance is very real indeed.
Once again Ms O’Harra weaves a complex tale, set in the equally complex world of Japanese society. There are many examples of parents both good and bad in this clever novel. The role of women is another theme which is threaded throughout the story. The novel follows the conventions of a mystery, with a myriad of suspects which are gradually whittled down.
But for me the strength of this book is the light the author shines on Japanese society and its conventions, which are shown through her character’s failings. Add to that beautiful prose and you don’t get a much better read than this!
I received a review copy from the publishers, Endeavour Press.


Dr. Beeke offers a heartfelt and solemn plea for families to return to Biblical, consistent and passionate family worship. With pastoral insight and care the author provides practical and valuable answers to the practice of family worship and at the same time addresses objections raised against it. In a world of impossible standards and idealism, this book is a helpful and motivating guide to implement or increase the depth of your family devotions.
Author Joel R. Beeke (Ph.D. Westminster Theological Seminary) is president and professor of systematic theology and homiletics at Puritan Reformed Theological Serminary, pastor of the Heritage Netherlands Reformed Congregation in Grand Rapids, Michigan, editor of The Banner of Sovereign Grace Truth, and author of numerous books.
If you are looking for practical ideas and guidance for structuring family worship times, you won't find a better resource than Rediscovering Family Worship. In this booklet, Jerry Marcellino offers practical advice in developing family worship that will engage our children.
Previously available as Rediscovering the Lost Treasure of Family Worship, this booklet has been republished by Shepherd Press as a valuable resource for families.
Family Worship surveys the biblical teaching on family worship, demonstrates how our heroes throughout church history have practiced it, and then gives fathers/husbands the simple, specific, practical how-to's of family worship.
Do you struggle to provide enjoyable, meaningful and spiritual times of family devotions? Do you avoid the whole subject but have the nagging thought that you should be doing something?Terry & Family Worship will equip you for leading your family in worship with the help of some key questions: What is family worship? What have other people done? Why Should I do it? How can I start? A Valuable resource which you will not exhaust in years.
In each generation, the church's most critical task is to uphold and proclaim the truth as it was delivered by the Lord. One important aspect of this task is the dililgent preparation of the church's children to continue to be the support pillar of the truth in the generation to come. With Training Hearts, and Teaching Minds, teaching the Shorter Catechism to your family has never been easier. This book of daily readings contains a question and answer from the catechism with six days' worth of devotional readings for each question (with 107 questions total). We must fulfill our responsibility now, so that we will be able to say with assurance, as Paul said to Timothy, "Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus."
Two conspicuously missing elements in Christian families today are parents catechizing their children and the absence of family worship as a normal part of the daily routine. Puritan George Hamond shows the biblical pattern for family worship with examples from the Old Testament—Abraham, Job, and Joshua—and then that of Christ and Cornelius from the New Testament. This is an important book for those who want to establish the centrality of worship in their homes.
George Hamond (1620-1705) began his education at Trinity College in Dublin and completed it at Oxford. He was for a while minister at Totness in Devon, and later minister to a large congregation of dissenters at Taunton, in conjunction with George Newton. He later moved to London, where he co-pastored with Richard Steele. He died in October of 1705. This book on family worship and his funeral sermon for his close friend Richard Steele are the only two works he saw published. No portrait of him is known to exist.
More teens are turning away from the faith than ever before: it is estimated that 75 to 88% of Christian teens walk away from Christianity by the end of their freshman year of college. Something must be done. Family Driven Faith equips Christian parents with the tools they need to raise children biblically in a post-Christian, anti-family society. Voddie Baucham, who with his wife has overcome a multi-generational legacy of broken and dysfunctional homes, shows that God has not left us alone in raising godly children. He has given us timeless precepts and principles for multi-generational faithfulness, especially in Deuteronomy 6. God's simple command to Moses to teach the Word diligently to the children of Israel serves as the foundation of Family Driven Faith.
