My friend is curating a vintage quilt display at our local museum called Warmth Through the Generations.
I loaned a quilt top my mother had pieced many years ago. It was tucked away in my cedar chest. I believed it was from the 1930s when she was teaching in a one room schoolhouse out on the prairies of Alberta. The blocks were hand sewn together, then the blocks were machine sewn into a flimsy. I had no idea what the blocks was called, but oh! those pinks and greens. They do make a quilt colourful.
When my friend came over last week for our monthly quiltalong, she brought along her Barbara Brackman encyclopedia of quilt blocks. What an amazing book. Inspiration galore.
We determined that the block was called the Beacon Star. It wasn’t quite the same as my Mother’s , but, maybe she just added the corner triangles to make it look different.
Then, I a get this email………….
“Well serendipity definitely happens. Yesterday I remembered that there was an old notebook in the museum collection that belonged to an old-time quilter…it contained clippings from newspapers and magazines and notes on quilt patterns and motifs. I went in today to add some new labels to the display and decided to pull it out and put it on display. As I was browsing the patterns in the notebook, I came across the exact block pattern of your Mom’s quilt top!!!!!!
It is called Key West Beauty, design #692. The lady who put it in the newspaper was called Carol Aimes. And it was in the Evening Telegram newspaper. The notebook is believed to be ca 1930s. And once belonged to a lady called Arlie Evelyn Penrose.
I googled Carol Aimes….her patterns were in the Medicine Hat Daily News, Alberta in 1938 and 1940….geese (design # 605) and Scottie dog (design # 722) appliqué’s respectively.
I’ve attached a copy of the notebook page. Yikes I found it!!!!!!!!!! In the Harrisburg PA Telegraph, Dec. 21, 1938. So now you have the date about which she found it!!! Isn’t the internet cool???”
“I googled the pattern name and got the following:
(Brackman 2719, 2731) (Beyer 82-6 and 82-7).
This design is also called Key West Beauty, Key West Star and Dakota Star. The earliest reference is to the Ladies Art Company in 1922. (from Linda Franz Inklingo website)
Here is a paper pieced pattern:http://threadbarecreations.blogspot.com/2016/03/chatelaine-free-bow-sampler-quilt-block.html
And here is regular piecing pattern:http://www.countrycrossroadsquilters.com/2007BOM_Main/200704BOM.html
Lots of images on Pinterest now that we know the correct name!
How cool is this?!? So much fun finding this. Enjoy!”
NOW, I know what the pattern’s name is, approximately what year it was made, and that it was published in an Alberta paper….. All these things confirmed my original story.
BUT, something didn’t sit right. In 1938 my mother and father were married down here in Toronto before he went off to WWII. So, I’m guessing she didn’t piece this quilt out in Alberta. Another memory suggests it was pieced in Toronto because Mother was part of a group called “The Stitch and Chatter Club”.
I’ll never know the real truth. I should have paid better attention when Mom was telling me the stories. But as a young mother, I had more important things to do…..or so I thought at the time. Now, I’d like to be able to ask her all these things and I can’t.

In India, the annual National Teachers’ Day on September 5th is of utmost importance. This particular day honors the essential efforts of teachers and mentors who are instrumental in determining the destiny of the country. The chosen day falls on Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan’s birthday, a renowned educator and former vice president of India. To honor the famous gurus who have led and enlightened generations, we explore the rich tapestry of Hindu mythology on National Teachers Day.
Lord Shiva – The Guru of All Gurus
As the guru of all gurus, Lord Shiva holds a prominent place in Hindu mythology. Lord Shiva, also known as the “Adi Guru” or the First Guru, is revered for his vast insight and knowledge. His teachings, which included yoga and meditation, are regarded as the cornerstone of enlightenment on a spiritual level. Because of his skill at imparting knowledge in a clear and lucid manner, Lord Shiva has earned the title of Hindu mythology’s supreme teacher.
Lord Parshuram – The Mentor of Legends
Lord Parshuram, the sixth manifestation of Lord Vishnu, is revered for his everlasting dedication to morality (Dharma) and extraordinary skill in battle. Parshuram, who received his training directly from Lord Shiva, left his imprint on famous individuals like Pitamaha Bhishma, Guru Drona, and Karan. His teachings stressed bravery, righteousness, and modesty, molding these people into shining examples of honor and virtue.
Lord Surya – The Light of Direction
The Sun God, Lord Surya, is a renowned mentor in addition to being a celestial body. He was important in the life of Lord Hanuman, the personification of devotion and bravery. Hanuman received instruction from Lord Surya in the Vedas, battle techniques, and the ability to alter his size at will. Hanuman was taught by Lord Surya to have everlasting faith and devotion.
Sage Sandipani – The Illuminator of Lord Krishna and Balram
The life of Sage Sandipani represents knowledge and wisdom. He dedicated his life to teaching profound lessons in many disciplines, warfare, philosophy, and spirituality as the guru of Lord Shri Krishna and Lord Balram. His lectures moved beyond the realm of academia, placing a strong emphasis on the virtues of righteousness, spiritual insight, and dharma. These divine incarnations were illuminated by Sage Sandipani, who led them along the way as they carried out their celestial tasks.
Guru Dronacharya – The Royal Instructor
The Mahabharata character Guru Dronacharya is well known for his mastery of archery and military strategy. He served as the guru to both the Pandavas and the Kauravas, treating them equally and dispensing wisdom in a humble manner. Guru Dronacharya, despite the tragic circumstances that led to his passing, is still a respected character in Indian mythology.
Guru Vashistha – Lord Rama’s Guiding Ligh
One of the seven celestial sages, Guru Vashistha, was Lord Rama’s guru in the Ramayana. He was well known for his knowledge of the Vedas and his skill in performing potent rituals and spells. Lord Rama was shaped into a righteous and enlightened leader by Guru Vashistha’s wise counsel and understanding.
Guru Vishwamitra – The Enabler of Rama’s Victory
A powerful guru named Guru Vishwamitra was instrumental in helping Lord Rama defeat the evil king Ravana. He taught Lord Rama, who was the epitome of devotion and bravery, vital fighting techniques and wisdom. The teachings of Guru Vishwamitra perfectly depict his standing as a renowned guru in Hindu mythology.
Guru Brihaspati – The Teacher of Gods
Guru Brihaspati, the gods’ instructor, is revered for his thorough knowledge of the Vedas. He is shown as a wise and honorable tutor who teaches important lessons about life. His advice and teachings are used in rituals and prayers as a source of knowledge and wisdom.
Guru Shukracharya – The Guru of the Demons
Guru Shukracharya, the guru of the demons, is skilled in the occult and has the ability to raise the dead. He is regarded as a wise and respected teacher in Hindu mythology despite his relationship with the asuras (demons). Even if Guru Shukracharya’s teachings don’t always line up with the divine, they nonetheless play a crucial role in the legendary story, illustrating the variety of wisdom and understanding.
Guru Kripacharya – The Enlightened Mentor
Guru Kripacharya emerges as a notable and revered figure in the epic Mahabharata. Both the Pandavas and the Kauravas esteem him as their Enlightened Mentor, offering invaluable advice. The teachings of Guru Kripacharya go beyond simple combat techniques; they place an emphasis on morality, humility, and moral purity. In the epic struggle, his persistent dedication to righteousness stands out as a bright example.
Lord Dattatreya – The Trinity Incarnate
In Hindu mythology, Lord Dattatreya is a singular character who is thought to be an incarnation of the divine Trinity—Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh. He is a guru to many sages and saints and embodies great wisdom and understanding. Lord Dattatreya’s teachings place a strong emphasis on detachment, devotion, and surrender to the divine. His knowledge directs seekers toward spiritual enlightenment and self-realization.
These esteemed gurus and teachers from Hindu mythology weave a rich tapestry of information, insight, and direction. They have left a lasting impression on India’s cultural and spiritual heritage, motivating future generations to seek out justice, virtue, and enlightenment. National Teachers Day honors all educators who uphold the legacy of these illustrious gurus by molding the minds and hearts of future generations with their knowledge and commitment.

Speaking of the Sea
FYI I took out my in-line citations for easier reading. If you are truly concerned feel free to check out my sources listed at the end.
There is something that happens to human skin when enveloped in the ocean’s salt air—it is an exfoliating experience matched by none other in the natural world, save maybe the weight of the sea’s great waves crashing upon your chest. Unfortunately, many people are disconnected from the blue water that covers 70% of the earth and contains 97% of it’s liquid water. Those who have had the opportunity to truly explore the mystery, and feel the power of our marine mother, return to the public like Odysseus back at Ithaca; changed, charged, and desperate to share the implications of what they’ve encountered.
Fifty-nine years after Rachel Carson first published The Sea Around Us, a best selling book inviting the American public to take a closer look at the ocean, Sylvia Earle eloquently reminded us that “even if you never have the chance to see or touch the ocean, the ocean touches you with every breath you take, every drop of water you drink, every bite you consume." Upon deeper inquiry into Earle’s writing you can see that her use of narrative, expressive prose, and ability to convey scientific information somewhat mirrors Carson’s earlier writing about the ocean and it’s abundant biodiversity. However, her sense of environmental urgency, and criticism of our modern society, truly echos that of Carson’s more well known 1962 book, Silent Spring.
The ocean is in trouble.
We are in trouble.
It’s our fault; but we also have the power to fix it. This is the cry of Sylvia Earle, an oceanographer, engineer, philanthropist, environmentalist, explorer, and author who has spent over 7,000 hours immersed in that ever elusive, big blue. She’s won hundreds of awards and honors, served as the first female chief scientist of NOAA, a National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence, and led the first team of all female aquanauts. Her career began in the 1950’s, just as Rachel Carson was publishing the three books that immersed mid-century Americans in, at what the time seemed like, a foreign salt water world. The accepted line of thinking then was that the ocean was too big to fail; that while early environmentalists were in agreement that we were plundering and destroying the green part of this marble we call home, the blue parts were all powerful and immune to the selfish shortsightedness of man. What Earle learned over the next 50 years, and works tirelessly to communicate, proves the falsity of that claim.
Those experiences—from the first time she used SCUBA, to her personal investment in progressing the technology of diving gear and submersibles, to her documentary “Mission Blue” and all the environmental and exploration writing in between— all rely heavily on her personal perspective. So much so that The World is Blue begins with the story of how and why she fell in love with the ocean. It’s a narrative that you can connect with, that I can connect with, that the public can connect with. It’s effective. In both Sea Change and The World is Blue she jumps around chronologically, which can be frustrating for some readers. Essentially it works though, because both books are arranged to tell the story of the ocean and how we impact its future (and our own). When necessary she calls upon a personal experience to help tell that story, and it doesn’t matter when in time it happened to her. Carson’s narrative of the sea on the other hand, while quite splendid and rich with ecological story, is devoid of a personal touch. As one reviewer remarked, “Miss Carson’s books have no element of personal adventure in their narration. There seem to be no human beings on the scene. The pervading feeling is one of disembodiment."
The prose of both Carson and Earle do however awaken the deep connection humans have with the natural world. For example, in The Sea Around Us Carson’s style moves the reader by applying common human feelings to metaphors of the ocean using words like “bitter,” “sinister,” and “freshly torn from it’s parent sun.” She also says within that same text that “as life began in the sea, so each of us begins his individual life in a miniature ocean within his mother’s womb,” calling once again for us to connect through common understanding. In the same vein, Earle describes in The World is Blue the time she felt “the insistent pulse of the sea below, gently lifting the ice, then falling away, like gentle breathing.” There is also a beauty in how she sees the world apparent when she reveals that “carbon in the sea is stored not in centuries-old trees, peat, and soil but rather, in the steady rain of small creatures falling to the seafloor” and in her depiction of bioluminescent creatures that “flash and sparkle and glow with their own living light."
Among the flowery prose within the pages of The Sea Around Us, as well as The World is Blue, both authors are also able to present scientific information in an accessible way; through the explorers sense of wonder. For example both books touch on the microbial life and chemical processes so dominant and important within the ocean (although Carson’s is somewhat dated) in an emotionally stirring way:
“Even the protoplasm that streams within each cell of our bodies has the chemical structure impressed upon all living matter when the first simple creatures were brought forth in the ancient sea."
And even more resonating:
“The capacity for such staggering diversity seems to me to be one of the two great miracles of life. The other is the common water-based chemistry that unites all."
These are just a few examples, among many more, of their combined ability to teach the reader about Earth’s oceans through gracefully articulating the common humanity we all share with the natural world.
Despite their striking similarities, Earle regularly opposes Carson’s initial claims regarding the misconception of the ocean’s “inviolate” nature. Yet in the preface to the 1961 edition of The Sea Around Us, Carson admits that “this belief, unfortunately, has proved to be naive [and that] the mistakes made now are made for all time. It is a curious situation that the sea, from which life first arose, should be be threatened by the activities of one form of that life.” Carson then went on to publish Silent Spring where she shifted her focus to “underground seas,” cementing her legacy and arguably sparking the modern environmental movement. She certainly expanded the collected knowledge of her time about underwater landscapes, but her most influential writing was a critique of pesticides and their devastating impacts on the natural world (and in essence, ourselves). Similarly, Sylvia Earle has pioneered impactful and diverse messaging to champion the farthest reaches of the ocean’s beating heart—a deep, dark, mesmerising world teeming with extraordinary living and nonliving characters essential to our very existence—which we are also slowly destroying (along with the future of our species).
Sylvia Earle said:
“I wish that you would use all the means at your disposal to create a campaign to ignite public support… to save and restore the ocean, the blue heart of the planet. How much? Some say 10 percent. Some say 30 percent. You decide: How much of your heart do you want to protect? Whatever it is, a fraction of one percent is not enough."
Just as Carson framed her story in Silent Spring to convince us not only of how our choices impact the future of our world, but also of the beauty and value of that world with which we are also intrinsically linked, so does Earle. Consider this excerpt from Silent Spring:
“We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost’s familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy… the other fork of the road—the one less traveled by—offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth."
In both instances the authors use language that ignites us, the reader, and propels us to feel something; to take action around the issue. The backlash around Silent Spring was a bit more dramatic as Carson was sued (among other negative responses) and the institutions she critiqued continually tried to discredit her. On the contrary, the reception of Earle’s slams to the downsides of progress have been more widely received.
Earle has made it her life’s mission to connect people back to the sea on the heels of an environmental revolution that, in 1995, still seemed to “regard the sea and all that it provides as somehow not as relevant… as terrestrial and freshwater environments." Undertones of that sentiment are slowly starting to fade because of her robust call to the public. Through strong personal narrative delivered in the spirit of Rachel Carson’s poignant prose, potent delivery of scientific knowledge, and compelling environmental rhetoric—through numerous books, articles, essays, lectures, video, photography, speeches and even public policy work—Sylvia Earle continues to make a lasting and unparalleled contribution to the field of nature, science, and environmental writing. Furthermore her charisma, knowledge, and influence have shed light on the need to focus more attentively to the deep ocean and its importance within the current environmental movement.
We may be the planet's worst nightmare, but we are also its best hope.

Archive for the ‘Electronic Business’ Category
This study investigates experts’ assessments of the pertinent factors affecting e-business in developing countries from a theory-based national infrastructure perspective. We surveyed experts (business people, academicians, and officials of governmental and nongovernmental organizations) in e-business in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Our PLS analysis shows that experts believed that policies targeted specifically towards e-business are important in affecting e-business capabilities and in obtaining value from e-business, more so than non-specific general ICT policies, which are not significantly influential. ICT infrastructure generally affects e-business capabilities, though this was not found to be the case in Brazil. Experts believed that national government institutions positively affect e-business value in SSA, but not in Latin America. Experts did not believe that commercial infrastructure significantly affects e-business value.
This study theoretically and empirically distinguishes between two different dimensions of e-business outcomes: specific capabilities and value derived from e-business. It operationalizes the effects of national government institutions and commercial infrastructure on e-business outcomes and empirically tests for their effects. The study provides empirical support for conceptual arguments for the need of ICT policies specific to the needs of e-business.

Over the past three decades, much of the continent of Africa has been viewed as the “forgotten continent”. With her many problems of hunger, epidemics, war, and other related socio-economic problems, the diffusion of the Internet and related technologies might be the last thing to be associated with Africa. However, we are experiencing the contrary. These countries are experiencing tremendous growth in Internet connectivity, the use of computers, and in the diffusion of wireless communications. Although still at its starting stages, electronic commerce is one of the growth areas for ICTs in Africa. This paper presents a framework for assessing electronic commerce in Sub-Saharan Africa. It describes the nature of the digital divide, and explains the need for the commercial applications of the Internet in developing countries in general. It presents literature on e-commerce frameworks, ICT diffusion, and ICTs in developing countries that shed light on different aspects of e-commerce in Sub-Saharan Africa. It then presents a consolidating framework that synthesizes these various literature streams, that lays groundwork for a focused body of research in this area.

PRIDE OF AFRICA COLLECTION
The conceptual story of “Ifuure” is founded on the platform of every human’s right to live in peace. “Ifuure” means “Peace and Comfort” structured from the Ibibio language of South-Eastern Nigeria. It is an olfactive interpretation of deep emotions. “Ifuure” opens up a social conversation. It sets its backdrop on the deep emotions of a day etched in the modern history of Nigeria; October 20, 2020.
On its dawn rose a new nation of the young. A people with a heart destined to be the change they spoke so reverently. A day where neither age, creed nor religion was a subject of division, but rather a uniting force to speak only one language across ethnicities. A day whose end bore its tears. A day whose memory is etched in the heart of every city corner of Lagos and whose victory echoes across the plains of Nigeria.
“Ifuure” honors the fallen heroes whose voices thundered and whose call became the people’s motivation. “Ifuure” commemorates our right to speak, and the people’s right to be heard. It establishes our right to the conversation and the voice to be understood. “Ifuure” is the story of the people’s heart for one fundamental human right; to right to PEACE & the COMFORT to live in it without fear or favor.

I went to the KADOKAWA Musashino Museum of Art in Saitama Prefecture!
If you are interested in Japanese light novels and anime, please visit the Kadokawa Musashino Museum of Art!
In 2020, a spot called Tokorozawa-Sakura-Town was opened in Saitama Prefecture!
It is one of the largest pop culture transmission bases in Japan by KADOKAWA.
Tokorozawa-Sakura-Town has museums, cafes, shrines, hotels, etc.
The highlight is the 〝Kadokawa-Musashino-Museum〟!
Kadokawa Musashino Art Museum is a cultural complex that combines a library, an art museum, and an art museum.
The futuristic look is impactful and unique. The main building is a mysterious concrete box. You can feel as if you are in 〝ISEKAI〟(another world).
This facility has the “Manga-Ranobe-Library”. This is a spot I would recommend to people who like manga and light novels.
(Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-)Not for sale!
〝RANOBE〟 is an abbreviation for light novel in Japanese English. An entertainment novel that adults and children can enjoy.
The collection focuses on light novels from Kadokawa Shoten and anime based on light novels.
Of course, there are also spots that people who are not interested in light novels can enjoy. The space called the bookshelf theater is a book space surrounded by bookshelves of about 8 meters.
Japan is a country with many earthquakes, so there is no custom to put luggage and tools in high positions. Of course, the same is true for small things like books. Such scenes are rarely seen anywhere else.
It’s an art because an 8-meter bookshelf is rare.
Because it is a small space, I am overwhelmed by many books.
Projection mapping will be screened here.
It is a projection mapping that projects a video on a tall bookshelf. You can enjoy sound, light and images.
There are other things related to anime. The same applies to the EJ Anime Museum (Entertainment Japan Anime Museum).
The “EJ Anime Museum” regards Japanese animation as a culture and introduces it from a unique perspective.
All the people and events that surround the work are treated as entertainment.
In addition, there are events and exhibitions for a limited time. The hotel and anime collaboration room is also one of the popular events.
If you are interested in Japanese light novels and anime, please check it out!

A paid ticket is required to enter the facility. The amount is for reference only.

After a decade away, Marion Aitcheson returns to the children’s home in Eisenach, Germany where she spent her adolescent years. This documentary explores her bittersweet homecoming, reunites her with old friends and teachers, and brings her face to face with memories of the disintegration of her own family. Marion’s account of her experience emphasizes the strength of the government-run children’s homes in Germany, due in no small part to the commitment of the caretakers and teachers who provide structure, love and encouragement to the children under their care.
Still in operation, Marion’s home is now host to an extraordinary new social program in Germany that seeks to rehabilitate both children and parents of dysfunctional homes. This program is poignantly explored through her conversations with both the director and the children themselves.
Throughout her journey, Marion examines the often rough road children like her must travel toward stability and independence, giving thanks to those who helped her along the way.

This photo was taken during a recent visit to the State Library of Victoria. The library, located in the centre of Melbourne, was built in 1859 and features a beautiful domed reading room. The dome was covered by a copper ceiling in 1959 because of a leaky roof and stayed that way for 44 years. Thankfully someone decided to uncover it during a $200 million restoration project that was completed in 2003. You can read more about the history of our state library at www.slv.vic.gov.au/search-discover/history-our-building.
This man caught my attention as he was writing and quietly contemplating in the domed reading room.

It’s easy to inadvertently neglect the fact that Bruce Lee was excluded by Hollywood and disallowed to be the male lead of a film or TV show in the 1960s and early ‘70s because he’s remembered as an iconic figure who is revered in the modern-day. Bruce Lee didn’t want to be the typical Asian male on the American silver screen; he wanted to be the star, the leading actor, the protagonist, the hero. The one who overcomes difficulties in life and succeeds in the end. The documentary Be Water, directed by Bao Nguyen, the Award-winning Vietnamese filmmaker, delves into the dual world stardom and superstardom of the legendary martial artist, Bruce Lee. The film studies how Bruce Lee strove to develop his identity as a Chinese/American from San Francisco to Hong Kong and back. The documentary reveals a unique collection of recorded material from Bruce Lee’s life juxtaposed with audio commentary from family members and friends. This is a refreshing tactic employed by the director, since most documentaries show interviews of the person’s face, sitting in a chair while giving commentary. Bao Nguyen is fully aware that by doing that he’s taking the focus of the audience away from its subject and making it about the people who remembered it. In this case, our subject is Bruce Lee from beginning to end.
We learn a lot about Bruce Lee, almost from his own perspective, had he still been alive today. Bruce Lee was against the behemoth of discrimination, prejudice and intolerance of Asians in the United States, let alone Hollywood. We learn that his great pursuit of acting in movies in addition to opening Martial Arts schools throughout the United States to teach Kung Fu wasn’t based off of naivete but confidence in his own abilities. The documentary reminds us that he was constantly rejected by Hollywood and returned to Hong Kong in 1971 to make four films: The Big Boss (1971), The Way of the Dragon (1972), Fists of Fury (1972), Game of Death (1972) until finally gaining the recognition he deserved from Hollywood with the Enter the Dragon (1973), a film produced and distributed by Warner Bros. Bruce Lee strove to prove to Hollywood that he was an Action hero just like Clint Eastwood and Charles Bronson. He amplified his efforts with highly choregraphed fight-sequences on Fists of Fury after The Big Boss became a hit in Hong Kong. He was on a relentless mission to prove to Hollywood and the world that he was an extraordinary human being who deserved to be seen and heard.
The documentary delves into the role China has had in its history with the United States in terms of labor in the workforce, in addition to the development of his first martial arts school in Seattle from 1963, his marriage with Linda Lee Cadwell and their first date at the Space Needle, as well as his great desires to launch Kung Fu martial arts schools across the United States. The film even touches on the role of China in American history with the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, the blatant ban on one group of people. Hollywood treated Asians in racist ways and would cast Caucasians to portray Asians in films and TV shows when Bruce was readily available and yearning. John Wayne played the Mongol vanquisher Genghis Khan, in The Conqueror (1965) and David Carradine played a Martial Arts master in Kung Fu (1972). Not only were the characters of Asians stolen by Caucasian men, if an Asian male was cast in a Hollywood film, they couldn’t kiss a white woman on-screen.
Though Bruce Lee was ultimately rejected by Hollywood for heroic roles, he wasn’t completely cast out. Prior to moving to Hong Kong, Jay Sebring, a movie hair-dresser, was impressed by Bruce Lee in an exhibition for martial arts and thereafter, Bruce Lee got a call from a producer. He landed the part of Kato in The Green Hornet (1966) playing the Asian sidekick/assistant of the green hornet (Van Williams). Even though Bruce Lee was the supporting actor, he was treated and paid as an extra. Bruce Lee’s collaboration and connection to the late Sharon Tate, when he worked as the Karate Advisor for The Wrecking Crew (1968), is also mentioned, in addition to his training of classic actors like James Coburn, Steve McQueen and the Los Angeles Lakers basketball star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, on the martial art of Jeet Kune Do – the way of intercepting the fist, or foot.
When Bruce Lee realized his success in Hollywood wasn’t going to be through the parts he was auditioning for, he wrote his own roles and created his own projects. He was a face of a nation and the face of a people. His wisdom and creativity are reasons why he’s arguably the father of what we refer to as modern day mixed-martial arts represented predominantly by organizations like the UFC and Bellator. The documentary discusses reason why Hollywood is racist is because the industry is a product of America who are the real racists. Bruce Lee was disgusted by Hollywood after his rejection on the television show Kung Fu, a role that went to the Caucasian actor David Carradine. Bruce Lee knew he was the perfect portrayal for that role and readily available to play it, but because of systemic racism, he was disallowed.
Be Water is an excellent documentary that shows archive footage from the iconic battle, Bruce Lee vs Chuck Norris, at the coliseum in Rome from The Way of the Dragon and the climactic fight scene in Game of Death with Kareem Abdul Jabbar – a film that was ultimately never accurately completed. Nonetheless, Hollywood began to see the true value that Bruce Lee had to offer, which led to Enter the Dragon, the quintessential Martial Arts film. Be Water gives justice to Bruce Lee and truly depicts the legend with an accurate portrayal of who he was. Bruce Lee knew himself. There was an integrity to his humanity; he was comfortable in his own skin. He understood that 60% of the human body and 75% of the human brain was made up of water. “When you fill a cup with water, the water becomes the cup. It becomes the bottle. It becomes the kettle. Water can flow. Or it can crash. Be water my friend.”


Theodore Papa Paraschou Phokaeus is interesting for the science of Musicology and also the history of the evolution of the music mainlyu for three reasons, because threefold was also his decisive contribution: as a composer of new melodies, as the preserver by scripture of makamia and songs, and as a publisher of basic music books.
For Theodore Phokaeus we know the dates of three important events in his life due to a biography which was published ny his son Constantine immediately after his death in 1851, and was republished by his other two children, Alexander and Leonidas, in 1863 and 1869, but also because of the news that he himself left us, either in the prologues or the announcements of his publications.
A useful source here is the long section from his biography, which seems to have been composed by Onouphrios Byzantios. «Theodory Papa Paraschou was from Ionia, Phokas, born in 1790...». His father Paraschos was a priest, a first warranty fot the advancement of the young Theodore.
He made his first musical steps close to his father. Young in age he lost his sight for nine whole years. This acted as a serious obstactle to his studies. He was blinded at the age of about fifteen, in 1805, and was cured in 1814.
He learned the Old Method of musica notation in Kydonies from his brother Athanasios, a few years before he left to go to Constanstinople.
He had an acute musical understanding and had learned well the psaltic art in Kydonies, because when he arrived to Constantinople, he soon became cantor at St Demetrios at Tatavla, chanting together with his teacher Chourmouzios, but for a short time. In Constantinople, his zeal for perfection in the Psaltic Art and learning of the New Method led him to Gregory Protopsaltes, then Lambadarios of the Great Church of Christ.
The influence of Gregory onto the work of Theodore is clear, as his study of the the Greek and Turkish songs and their publication can only have arisen from Gregory. Nonetheless, Chourmouzios was also his teacher, since they chanted together at Tatavla.
He chanted for more than 30 years, the first six as Lambadarios of St Demetrios at Tatavla with the Teacher Chourmouzios, and the rest as Protopsaltes of St Nicholas at Galata with the ever-memorable Stavrakes.
Theodore Phokaeus informs us that in 1843 he stopped chanting in the Holy Church of St Nicholas at Galata, because his physical strength do not allow this work any more.
In the last decade of his life, Theodore focused on the publication and his personal compositions. However, he never stopped until his death to teach psalmody and external music. He started teaching at least 2-3 years after his attendancy at the Music School of the Nation, namely around 1820-21, when the School closed. He did not teach music as a hobby, but systematically, as in a school and earning money for living.
His multiple obligations and responsibilities which he had taken, together with his publications and his care to fulfill them, tired him physically and mentally and kept him far from music composition. And indeed it seems that he created his private work in the last decade of his life, as is seen from the fact that in his last two multivolume editions: the Musical Bee (4 volumes, in 1848) and the Tameion of Anthology (3 volumes, in 1851) he collected his own compositions, several of which are subtitled as «new» compositions. The only thing that evidently brings joy to him is that «his additional new melodies has been submitted to the judgment of His All Holiness and the Holy Sacred Synod around him, and having been examined, were accepted and deemed worthy to be published, as not new-sounding, but as strictly keeping the style and the melody of our traditional sacred ecclesiastical music».
The work of Theodore was quickly dissipated, was recorded in manuscripts in the Holy Mountain and elsewhere, and won the attraction of cantors because of its simplicity and its rythmic melody. On the 3rd of October of 1851, he died relatively young, as a man of virtue, being «still necessary to society».
Returning back to summarize the three folds of his actions and to measure his contribution to music, we must note that he composed in the last years of his life, deeming the compositions of his predecessors, as well as his contemporary teachers, as «perfect» melodies, and are noted in his Crepis as necessary lessons which must be taken by anyone who wants to perfect himself in the Psaltic Art.
Publishing his Crepis in 1842, he makes comments against the Lesbian System, which he deems as new-minded, and he does not forget, as in almost all his introductions, to praise the benefactors of the nation, the three Teachers and explainers of the New Method of analytic semeiography.
His teaching contribution in the Theory of music is witnessed in his chapter on «Orthography», which as an editor was the most appropriate to compose.
In the other contribution of Phokaeus, namely of the writing and publication of the songs, a lesson he calls «Kiari» is important for the use of the advanced in music. His publication activity started in 1830 with Efterpe, and finished with his death in 1851, when he saw printed the first volume of his three-volume Anthology.
In the duration of 20 years, he published eight works plus the two last multivolume works, ten basic books books, which are historic monuments of psaltic art, but also artistic monuments of typography. His publications came out in 2,000 copies each. The Anastasimatarion and the Anthology of Gregory Protopsaltes he published in two editions, The evolution of psalmody owes a lot to the publishing works of Theodore for the stability and promotioin of the psaltic tradition.
An important part of modern Greek history form the lists of subscribers in the end of his publications. At the end of the Collection of Idiomels (1831), the Anastasimatarion (1832 and 1839), the Bank of Anthology (1837), the Calophonic Heirmologion (1835), the Pandora (1843), and in pages 202-231 of the fourth volume of the Musical Bee (1848) there are the names of many hundreds of subscribers, with their profession and their place of origin. Hierarchs, hieromonks, monks, cantors, and music lovers from all the places of Orthodoxy were the sources of music civilisation.
(a) Main work – melodies of the daily offices
(b) Explanatory work – «τονίσματα»
He explained many songs, Greek and Turkish, which were written in the notation prior to 1814, and published the books Euterpe and Pandora. Some songs must have been «τόνισμα», namely transcription of their melody by Theodore Phokaeus.
(b) Publication work
He published the following important music books: Euterpe (1830), Collection of idiomels (1831), Anastasimatarion (1832 and 1839), Anthology of Gregory Protopsaltes (1834 and Ι837), Calophonic Heirmologion (1835), Doxastarion of Iakovos Protopsaltes (1836), Kripis (1842), Pandora (1843-1846), Musical Bee (1848), Anthology (1851, the first volume).


For institutions with more resources, devising and implementing a meaningful, consistent set of folder/sub-folder relationships and schemas across all digital news collections will serve to improve the preservation outlook of these collections.
The degree of work involved depends upon an institution’s practices-to-date. In some cases an institution may only need to review and refine its existing collection structures. In other cases, an institution may need to re-organize its digital news content entirely according to a newly designed set of consistent folder and file-naming conventions. Below are some examples of how institutions with extensive experience in managing digital newspaper collections have approached the organization of their collections. Institutions are also encouraged to reference the National Digital Newspaper Program’s Technical Guidelines2 as mentioned in the Introduction.
Once a set of uniform collection structures and file-naming conventions have been established, curators and technical staff can work together toward implementation. This process should always begin with experimentation with a sub-set of digital newspaper data copies and the batch renaming and/or relocating tools that are most appropriate for the institution’s needs. Once the remediation process is tested thoroughly, implementation can begin, ideally using a copy of the content rather than the originals. Remediation work, including the tools used, should be documented and this documentation should be included with the collection upon packaging (see Section 6: “Packaging Digital Newspapers for Preservation”).
Caution: It should be noted that if you have previously made use of any BagIt utility to create checksums for your collection content and have subsequently re-organized your collection sub-folders you should re-run BagIt to get an accurate file listing and set of corresponding checksums.

Paul McCartney is set to release a new book of photography this summer titled ‘1964: Eyes of the Storm.’ The book features 275 of McCartney’s photographs from six cities – Liverpool, Paris, New York, Washington, D.C., and Miami – all taken in 1964. The collection also includes never-before-seen shots of John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.
McCartney said in a press release: “Anyone who rediscovers a personal relic or family treasure is instantly flooded with memories and emotions, which then trigger associations buried in the haze of time. This was exactly my experience in seeing these photos, all taken over an intense three-month period of travel, culminating in February 1964. It was a wonderful sensation to be plunged right back. Here was my own record of our first huge trip, a photographic journal of the Beatles in six cities, beginning in Liverpool and London, followed by Paris (where John and I had been ordinary hitchhikers three years before), and then what we regarded as the big time, our first visit as a group to America.”
‘1964: Eyes of the Storm’ also includes a foreword by McCartney, as well as an introduction by ‘New Yorker’ essayist Jill Lepore. The book is set for release on June 13. To pre-order ‘1964: Eyes of the Storm’, head here.

‘Commons sense’ is a continuation of my research investigating commons and commoning (commons/-ing) practices through design practice. This study explains how commons/-ing is a potential route to a sustainable future and a reaction to capitalism and our ‘consumer democracy’.
Commons is a broad topic. Historically it relates to enclosures, today it is a call to reclaim our commons as an effective way to tackle the climate crisis. Commoning practices that include collective stewardship and care, are crucial to the survival of the commons. Communicating the importance of commons can expose the consequences of abusing resources, and even better, show that these resources as part of the same system as ourselves. Although commoning practices exist across the globe, the commons is an emerging concept with academics and thinkers still framing what the commons is and how it can operate.
This project is an inquiry into the potential design has to contribute to making visible commons/-ing. This workbook will present the design research, theoretical context and practice through a variety of methods and studies. In my locality, I ask what people understand about commons and explore where and how commons/-ing takes place. I speculate on what other commons might be possible. I develop designs to communicate commons concepts. Each study attempts to create conditions for dialogue and ways to encourage participation. I discover the importance of situated practice, our relations to nonhuman worlds, the need for diversity and design for everyday lives.


Having been inspired by a trip to the Musée Matisse in Nice, Sarah started to create her own take on the ‘Jazz’ art book. What began as a summer project, turned into a fruitful collection of bold and colourful collages. Sarah cut out pieces of paper and positioned them onto a white background, trapping the forms between two glass plates. She would scan these and eventually turn them into library of digitally pasted compositions. This system led to spontaneous prints of colourful cut paper collages.
In March 2019 she exposed one hundred of them in a joint exhibition at De Bouwput in Amsterdam. A year later, she is collaborating with SO-RI publishing, to turn these artworks into a RISO printed book. The layering of colors and chalky crayon texture that comes with the riso ink is a welcomed new approach on the project, re-shaping them into a set of lively prints. A selection of 76 collages have been made for this publication which can be purchased via https://so-ri.info/ photos of the book can be found on her website under 'Books'.


In The Value of Literature, Rafe McGregor employs a unique approach - the combination of philosophical work on value theory and critical work on the relationship between form and content - to present a new argument for, and defence of, literary humanism. He argues that literature has value for art, for culture, and for humanity - in short, that.
History and literature are entwined with each other. History is not just about power struggles, wars, names, and dates. It is about people who are products of their time, with their own lives. Today the world is nothing like it was in the 15th century; people have changed largely.LITERATURE is the branch of Art. imagination and creation of writing, especially of recognizing the artistic value. in literature we observe the thing analysis and synthesis of finding into a.Opinion: The Value Of Literature Stories have held a position of esteem throughout human history. From ancient Greek mythology to the hunger games, the allure of storytelling is undiminished, and arguably stronger than ever with an endless stream of new books, films and television fuelled by a vast, and ever expanding entertainment industry.
Literature builds essential personal skills. It creates a strong sense of empathy in readers. It also hones critical thinking skills. The benefits that literature offers reveals how important its role is. Literature Is Essential to Culture. There's a clear link between literature and culture. Literature provides a window into the culture of its.
Literature is the foundation of life. It places an emphasis on many topics from human tragedies to tales of the ever-popular search for love. While it is physically written in words, these words come alive in the imagination of the mind, and its ability to comprehend the complexity or simplicity of the text.
A literature review surveys books, scholarly articles, and any other sources relevant to a particular issue, area of research, or theory, and by so doing, provides a description, summary, and critical evaluation of these works in relation to the research problem being investigated.
Literature has entertainment value if reading it gives occasion to enjoy yourself. This type of value is inherently subjective because not everyone will enjoy the same kinds of stories, styles, or themes. Being entertained is important, but being bored does not give anyone license to reject a work outright.
Most people have little idea of what literary value is, yet we cannot learn about literarture that does not get into print. This lecture looks at publishing as a capital-intensive industry with a structure of editors and readers trained to gauge audience reception and marketing possibilities.
The value of your book depends on many things, so a professional appraisal is important — whether you are planning to sell the book or to continue collecting books of the same type. If you prefer to try to price your collection on your own, a number of notable books will give you an idea about the worth or value of your book collection.
Value of drones to the UK: literature review This report reviews the literature on the existing and future value of civilian remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) to the UK. Published 16.
Debates on the value of literature have been recurrent in the long history of literary cultures. The centrality of literature as a cultural phenomenon has provoked discussions about its value as such as well as about the values it promotes and the uses it can be put to serve.
Finally, children’s literature is of value because it is a timeless tradition, one in which “books are the major means of transmitting our literary heritage from one generation to the next” (Norton, 2010, p. 3).
Definitions of the word literature tend to be circular. Dictionarysays it is “writings whose value lies in the beauty of form or emotional effect.” The nineteenth-century critic Walter Pater referred to “the matter of imaginative or artistic literature” as a “transcript, not of mere.
Books shelved as strong-literary-value: A Frolic of His Own by William Gaddis, Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy, One Rainy Day in May by Mark Z. Danielewski.
What is the real value of literary style? This is a question I raise after having been reading Dostoievsky. I have never been capable of keep on reading Crime and Punishment far than ten or fifteen minutes until today. The point is that I have ever considered the shabby and chaotic literary style of Dostoievsky as the most important hindrance.

The value literature had on me was actually hard to put into words. But to understand the value of literature you must know the definition of value and literature. Value has many meanings but there is two that relate. Worth in usefulness or importance to the possessor and a principle, standard, or quality considered worthwhile or desirable.


EnBarque Benin is a humanitarian project led by seven Montreal students who are guided by the belief that education is the foundation of society.
Their goal is to introduce their peers in Benin, Africa, to a world of infinite possibilities and limitless dreams.
The So-Ava community counts but one library amongst 69 villages and 57 schools. Many students do not have access to this one library. Literacy rates are therefore very low, trapping the So-Ava population in the vicious cycle of poverty.
This project will bring the library to the students. As of March 2019, a mobile library will be visiting school after school in order to provide students with books and help them further their education.
