An excellent book for studying the bible is Illustrated Stories from the Bible (that they won’t tell you in Sunday School) by Paul Farrell. Here’s an example page retelling the story in 2 Samuel 13:1-19, when David’s son Amnon rapes his sister Tamar:
Apparently God made Amnon do it (whether that was his defence in court, I don’t know).
This is just the sort of book that ought to be used in compulsory religious education lessons in schools.

The Montessori method of teaching children has transformed how we approach learning. An important aspect of this approach is the use of wall-facing bookshelves. These bookshelves offer easy access to books, which enables children to explore and develop their reading skills. The well-organized bookshelf also helps kids categorize books and find what they need quickly.
Using this type of bookshelf creates a visually appealing display of books, which creates an inviting atmosphere for kids to explore and learn. Children can easily browse through the entire selection of books and make their own choices.
The Montessori way of learning provides an effective approach to teach children how to appreciate literature and enhance their reading skills. By utilizing a wall-facing bookshelf, children can access books with ease and take charge of their reading experience.
Here are the benefits of having a wall bookshelf in your kids' rooms.
The Montessori learning approach emphasizes the importance of children exploring and developing their interests independently. A wall-facing bookshelf is a valuable tool that can facilitate this approach, allowing children to access books on their own and encouraging the development of independent reading skills. By placing the bookshelf in a child's bedroom or playroom, they can access books easily and without having to seek help from adults, promoting self-sufficiency and fostering independence, which are fundamental aspects of the Montessori method. With the aid of a wall-facing bookshelf, children can quickly and easily locate the books they want to read, promoting exploration and independent learning. This not only helps children become more proficient readers but also instils in them a sense of ownership and pride in their reading.
The Montessori method emphasizes the importance of the child's environment in shaping their behavior and development. By providing a clear and organized space for books, the child's environment promotes order and organization in their thinking and behavior. This allows children to focus on their learning and exploration, rather than being distracted by a cluttered or disorganized space.
The Montessori approach to learning offers a unique educational experience that enables children to pursue their interests and learning paths independently. To facilitate this exploration, having a wall-facing bookshelf is a valuable addition to any Montessori home or classroom. This bookshelf provides access to a wide range of books that children can select and read at their leisure, enabling them to find topics of interest and discover new areas for exploration.
A bookshelf with a variety of reading materials in one place inspires children to read for pleasure and gain knowledge across different subject areas. It also encourages them to explore topics of their own choosing, which fosters self-confidence and a sense of autonomy. By providing a space for freedom of choice, the wall-facing bookshelf promotes self-directed learning and supports children in becoming independent thinkers.
The Montessori way of learning has many benefits for children, and one of them is the use of a wall-facing bookshelf. Not only does it encourage children to explore and discover new books, but it also makes books visible and accessible, which can help spark a love of reading. The bookshelf can be organized by genre, author, or topic to help children find the books they're interested in, and it allows for easy access to books for both children and parents. Additionally, it can be used to help foster a sense of responsibility by allowing children to take ownership of their own book collection.
The wall-facing bookshelf can also be a great asset when it comes to Montessori activities. It allows for easy access to books that may be necessary for projects or home assignments, and it can be used to create a cozy reading corner that encourages children to curl up with a book and explore the world of imagination and knowledge.
A wall-facing bookshelf fosters exploration and initiative in children, while also organizing their learning environment. It provides easy access to a variety of age-appropriate materials and allows children to find inspiration and knowledge independently. Additionally, it can be used to display educational materials and artwork, creating an inspiring learning space. In a Montessori environment, a wall-facing bookshelf is an excellent tool to support children's learning and growth.
Overall, there are so many things that can be learned in the Montessori way. Front facing bookshelf is an essential component of a Montessori learning environment, providing children with the tools they need to explore, learn and grow.


As my (some call it interest, some say obsession) with Paris continues, I stumbled across this book and decided it was worth a read.
Parisian women are truly the quintessential icons of all things fashion, food, and sex and this book will further your understanding of the Parisian woman's mind, while still leaving you with questions I feel will never truly be understood unless you are, in fact, Parisian.
Audrey, Caroline, Sophie, Anne
Audrey is a script writer and editor of the magazine Stylist--currently directing her first feature film. Caroline studied literature at school before becoming a model and is now an ambassador for Chanel. Sophie began her own film company and works as a producer. Anne is an author as well, writing a famed biography of Francoise Sagan (another kick ass woman), as well as writing for theater, television, and cinema. The official book website is here.
Two of my favorite quotes in the book: the first and the last
Punctuated with Tumblr-worthy photographs to accompany the familiar writing, this book blurs the line between a parody and actual advice. Inside its pages you'll find recipes, anecdotes about life, fashion, and DIY home decor. Just to name a few. More of a guide than an instruction manual, this book will definitely leave an impression.
This book is a rarity in that it will have you laughing one page and questioning the methods and values with which you live your life on the next. And then it will make you laugh again.
Like curling up with a delightfully frank old friend, this book's self-reproaching, not-giving-a-damn (while-still-secretly-giving-a-damn) attitude is refreshing, humorous, surprisingly touching, and, most of all, very Parisian. Eh bien, c'est le point non?

“Is It Safe for Me to Go to Work?” Risk Stratification for Workers during the Covid-19 Pandemic” from The New England Journal of Medicine
“Perspectives” article by Marc R. Larochelle, M.D., M.P.H.
[Excerpt] “Apprehensively, I dialed Mr. M. for an update.
Weeks earlier, he and his wife had tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. A few days before this call, Mr. M. had been discharged from the hospital, since his cough and fever were improving. Unfortunately, Ms. M. had developed worsening breathing, needed more oxygen, and was at that point being transferred to the ICU. Mr. M. picked up the phone, quiet and tearful. “How are you?” I asked.
“Terrible, doctor,” he replied. “Maria died last night.” She had died, alone, in an ICU. Mr. M. was now mourning her loss, alone, at home.”
“Patients Employer Notification Draft Letter”
The ACC has made available a “To whom it may concern” draft letter for health care workers to use when notifying employers of COVID-19 patients. Information on risk factors for more severe illness resulting from infection with SARS-CoV2 continues to evolve with progression of the pandemic and reporting from newly affected regions. As of mid-April 2020, little has been published on the U.S experience in peer-reviewed journals. In response to public statements from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other sources, some ACC members have reported patients asking for occupational guidance in this area. The following draft letter may be useful for some patients in circumstances in response to such requests. The draft letter may be modified as need to fit an individual patient’s clinical or occupational circumstances.

Weekly ACC COVID-19 Hub Update for April 27, 2020
A little more than a month ago the ACC’s COVID-19 Hub was created to house the College’s first COVID-19 Clinical Bulletin, a widely-read Cardiology article talking about Influenza and COVID-19, and early Advocacy efforts around telehealth flexibility as the virus was beginning to spread through the U.S. In the weeks since, the Hub has grown exponentially with updated clinical guidance, front-line perspectives from around the world, ongoing advocacy and policy updates, practice and operational guidance, new research and more. In an effort to better organize the Hub and make it easier to navigate and find content, a team of staff and leaders have been hard at work revamping the Hub to accommodate all of the great content.
Under the new Hub, you’ll find a focused page containing all of our telehealth resources; clinical guidance organized by clinical topic; front-line perspectives organized by country or region; and quick links to JACC Journals, CardioSmart and Clinician Well-Being COVID-19 content. You’ll also find dedicated pages for ACC and MedAxiom webinars, videos and podcasts, and more. Additionally, important links to CDC, FDA, WHO and other agency and medical society resources are also available.
In addition to the new look, check out the following COVID-19 clinical guidance highlights posted this week:

Helena Schrader graduated with honors in History from the University of Michigan and has earned a PhD in History from the University of Hamburg. She has published several books since 1993, both fiction and non-fiction. Among the former are several historical novels including six on ancient Sparta. She maintains a blog titled Sparta Reconsidered.
I approached A Heroic King as a person knowledgeable on the subject matter but curious about how the author would weave fact and fiction together. Would the story be convincing? Spartan names take some getting used to and I found myself struggling through the first two dozen pages as I tried to get to know the many characters - both historically familiar and unfamiliar. Knowledge of the vocabulary of Sparta was certainly helpful during this early part of the read.
Once the names were locked in, things moved along at a fine rhythm. There were many wonderful scenes -- Leonidas' election, the sacrificial ambassador's trip to see Xerxes, and Gorgo's shopping trip in Athens, to name a few. For a historical novel to be successful, you have to feel seamlessly transported back in time by the author. Then you can live the story and absorb the history along the way. Helena has successfully met this requirement by accurately capturing the lives and experiences of the people of Lacedaemon.
The Battle of Thermopylae was riveting - not mere choreography like the movie 300, but real tension created by 300 men trying to survive but also prepared to die. The reader has a first row seat as the realization of no escape transforms Leonidas and his men into determined heroes.
In sum, The Heroic King is a brilliantly written novel that gives life to one of the great cultures of history. Its mixture of drama and adventure can carry the reader forward at whatever pace he or she may desire.
My only concern in recommending the novel is for the reader who knows nothing of Sparta - whether they will have the perseverance to work through the new vocabulary. Like the saying "Don't judge a book by its cover", I say "Don't judge this novel by its first two dozen pages". Acclimate yourself and move on to a great adventure.
Dr Schrader, if you end up reading this, I hope you go on to tell what happened to Gorgo and the rest of Sparta in the years after Leonidas died.


A Poet and a Scientist
G. Jordan Maclay has had a lifelong curiosity in understanding the fundamental behavior of people, including himself, as well as the fundamental behavior of the physical world. His interest in self-exploration led to a study of psychology, philosophy, spirituality, and art. He is a quantum physicist by training, who has done seminal research in quantum energy and microsensors for four decades. During retirement he became a Blackbelt in Shaolin Kempo Karate and a Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).
"This combination of poetry, prose, and art is like few other books on the shelf. Combining the macrocosm and the microcosm in thoughtful ways, with transparency about his own struggles to find deeper meaning in his work, this is a confident collection. The flow of ideas is undeniably unique; the epic scale of the themes being discussed, as well as the sensitivity of the poet's approach, results in a memorable and thought-provoking journey through science, poetry, art, and philosophy." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★

author of THE AMPED SERIES
THE CORTLAND STANDARD
LIVING & LEISURE
PARALEGAL ALSO ROMANCE WRITER
BY KATIE KEYSER
Millisa Morrow doesn't have any problem coming up with ideas for her fiction characters. She's worked more than 20 years as a paralegal for her father, David Ames, and uncle, William Ames, now retired Cortland County Court Judge.
"There's all kind of scenarios your mind runs with, when you work in a field like this," she said from the Ames Law Office in Homer. And there's the newspaper, TV and music.
Inspiration isn't an issue, she said. "It's finding time to write and elaborate on ideas."
Morrow, 41, a mother of two and wife is also author of three published romance novels - all part of her "Amped" series: "Balance," "Sway" and "Fall," written under her pen name of M.l Woods. "Balance" came out in November 2016, "Sway" in July and "Fall" in November.
"I'm tired." Morrow said. "It is a lot. And I still can't believe I did it." A self-publisher, she used Dog Ear Publishing to distribute "Balance" and "Sway." For "Fall" she created her own publishing label, "Perfect Balance Publishing." She pays an editor to keep her grammar in check. And her husband Jim, a graphic designer, has been a huge help.
Morrow said she reimagines her experiences to get her characters into trouble while they find love.
Her first book, "Balance," took five years from inception to completion - two to three years in active writing.
"There was a couple of years I didn't write anything," she said.
She broached a mom's group in East Syracuse with a manuscript to get comments. They were positive. Now many are her fans.
The series follows the exploits of two characters, Alexis Greene, a lawyer whose husband has died. She returns to her small town to take over her father's law office, after he died, too.
Enter Aidan-bright, intelligent, who Morrow says is "much more mysterious." He, too, is returning to the small town where he spent his first eight years. He has an agenda: addressing the area drug problem.
Morrow said it's ironic that she researched the drug problem in Cortland for the book, and then saw her father lose his building, which housed their practice, from a fire caused by a meth lab blast in 2016.
That situation has not entered any of her novels yet. "It's too raw," she said.
Ronald Bagliere, a writer for more than 30 years and an adjunct instructor for the Downtown Writer's Center in Syracuse, read Morrow's first book and was impressed by the amount of research. He thought it was "a hell of a work considering it was her first endeavor into writing." ,
"Writing a fiction novel is like telling a lie," Bagliere said. "A very long lie. You are creating people out of your imagination, breathing life into them, giving them a past that readers will hopefully engage with and root for. No easy task and again, she nails it."
"It's fun to get lost in your stories and have things take over," Morrow said. "Once you open those flood gates, it doesn't stop."
Her next book is due out in the spring, a stand-alone romance novel that is a spin off from this series.
"I have always written. I have always wanted to be a writer," Morrow said.
"When I was at Cortland State for a short time, I took a journalism class. I toured the Cortland Standard, I took a trip to the morgue. One of my classmates passed out."
She read "Fifty Shades of Gray" before it became a phenomenon. "I thought, 'I could do something like that on my own. '"
But she always struggled with the ending. Then her character, Alexis, came about. She started "Balance" from this character's point of view. She had the book half completed before the hero came along. Then she pursued his point of view. She alternated the two.
"It helped me get through to the end."
The romantic tension builds through "Balance," but Morrow takes her time before the characters get together.
One of her favorite scenes is when Alexis sings in a bar with her best friend's band, and unbeknownst to her, Aidan catches the act.
"I don't know where it came from. What if this? What if that. This would be amazing."
She can get the kids get on the bus and get down to writing, rewriting and proofing and forget to eat. She'll remember to call the law office to see if her father needs anything. Before she knows it, it's4p.m.
Novel writing is difficult, said Priscilla Berggren-Thomas, a writer and director of the Phillips Free Library in Homer.
She will work on a book for two years before she's willing to let anyone look at it.
"It sounds cliche. Writing is really rewriting. Even when you get a first draft. Then it takes a lot of rewriting," Thomas said.
And when a writer self publishes, the work mounts, because the writer must edit, find a cover and market it.
"I think anyone who completes a book is just incredible," Thomas said.
Morrow is a member of the Central New York Romance Writers group and the Romance Writers of America. She learned to start one word at a time. And members say: 'You have to have your butt in the chair.'


For a decade, during the formative years of his philosophy, Gandhi lived in and around Johannesburg where he established a prosperous law practice, though his legal work was soon overtaken by his political activism in support of Indian rights. During that decade, he made the streets and suburbs of the city his own, changing homes frequently and walking tirelessly.
Tolstoy Farm and other places and buildings captured in words and pictures in this evocative book are landmarks of Ghandi’s personal and political growth. The sites featured span huge social divides, from slums and shanties of the old Indian Location to the comfortable suburbs reserved for whites. Considered as a whole, they and the events surrounding them are an essential part of the Gandhian experience.

We get asked this question a lot. And, as a matter of fact, we have. You might guess that our tastes are a little bit slanted toward books or movies about wines and winemaking, but there are several out there that are really pretty good. We’re not talking about wine reference books, but good “curl up by the fire” novels with a story to tell. Here’s our suggestions:
Billionaire’s Vinegar, by Benjamin Wallace. The story of wine fraud and how unscrupulous dealers, collectors and negociants dupe unsuspecting dealers, collectors,and negotiants by pawning off fake wine for astronomical prices. An amazing story that starts with bottles of wine represented to be part of Thomas Jefferson’s Paris cellar collection that set the world price record at auction but were discredited as fakes . A good read with all of the twists and turns of a mystery novel.
Jefferson on Wine, by John Hailman. The story of Thomas Jefferson, 4th President of the United States and his lifetime love affair with wine as told through his meticulous records, correspondence and journals. A fascinating story of America’s first true wine connoisseur and his belief that American could become as good as Europe in the production of fine wines. The story traces his quest for knowledge from his pre-Presidency years as Ambassador to France and his years in Paris to his years in the White House and that famous residence’s first wine cellar.
Judgment of Paris, by George Taber. It’s the story of the 1976 tasting in Paris between the California wines and the French Grand Cru wines (with all French judges) in which the Americans swept the tasting and turned the wine world upside down. Written by the only reporter to cover the event this account accurately depicts the small tasting, held in a Parisian hotel, that would forever change the world’s perception of great wines. The author, in addition to the account of the actual tasting, has researched and reports the story of the pioneer winemaking families of the Napa Valley, and how they came to become the wine powerhouse that California is in just a few short years.
The House of Mondavi, by Julia Flynn Seiler, Gotham Books. The story of an American Wine dynasty and the family fights, greed and ambition that destroyed it. A pretty accurate account of the Mondavi family’s rise from grape merchants to one of the most innovative forces in the wine industry; then its fall finally resulting in the loss of the winery. Interesting reading and an accurate account of a tragic episode in American winemaking.
Wine and War, by Donald and Petie Kladstrup. An interesting chronicle of the efforts of the French to keep the Germans from looting their wine and wineries during WWII. While large caches of French wine were stolen by the Germans, often for the German military hierarchy, much was never found due to the efforts of clever French vineyard owners and vintners. A fascinating read.
Bottle Shock (a movie), starring Chris Pine, Alan Rickman and Bill Pullman (2009) – an interesting and pretty well acted motion picture about the 1976 Paris tasting between American and French wines that tells the story from the perspective of one of the participating California wineries, Chateau Montelana. It’s a “rags to riches” story of passionate, but struggling California winemakers and how they got caught up in one of the wine industry’s most ground-altering moments and produced the Chardonnay that topped the French. Very entertaining and available on DVD.

I am a Professor of Theatre at THOMPSON RIVERS UNIVERSITY, located in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, where I teach academic theatre courses and am an editor of the scholarly journal, Textual Studies in Canada. Other recent publishing projects, in October 2001, saw the launch of Playing the Pacific Province: An Anthology of British Columbia Plays, 1967-2000, that I co-edited with Ginny Ratsoy for Playwrights Canada Press. In addition, I have just edited two other books, George Ryga: The Other Plays, an anthology of all Ryga’s stage plays except The Ecstasy of Rita Joe, and George Ryga: The Prairie Novels, for Talonbooks. These were launched in October 2005 at the Vancouver International Writers Festival. I am also a board member of the Centre for the Study of Canada. Other current research is for the CURA SMALL CITIES PROJECT. Ongoing work includes a number of projects concerned with the performance culture of several small cities in British Columbia; specifically, the nature of the relationship between professional theatre companies and their communities in Kamloops, Prince George, and Nanaimo. In addition, I direct an annual play production featuring students from the first to fourth-year acting and technical courses. This show is presented to audiences from both the TRU community and the general public. A recent notable play production was what I am calling British Columbia’s first play, NOOTKA SOUND; OR, BRITAIN PREPAR’D, an eighteenth-century work that we staged at the Alumni Theatre in March 1999. In January 2004 we staged Samuel Beckett’s ENDGAME at the Actors Workshop Theatre on campus; in January 2005 we mounted Shakespeare’s TWELFTH NIGHT. In March, 2007, we played Michel Tremblay’s Canadian classic, LES BELLES SOEURS. In fall 2010 we presented Shakespeare’s great play, THE TEMPEST.

STAGING THE PACIFIC PROVINCE:
A CONFERENCE ON BRITISH COLUMBIA THEATRE
In 1999 we held the first-ever British Columbia Theatre Conference. This took place May 13, 14, 15, at the University College of the Cariboo. The Conference brought together academics, students, practitioners, and the public to discuss and celebrate the great variety of theatrical experience of the province–which still remains largely unexamined. There were guest speakers, papers, and panels as well as performances, videos, and displays.
We were pleased to hear papers from a wide variety of disciplines and topics relating to British Columbia theatre, such as theatrical history, architectural analysis, anthropological studies, economics of theatre, criticism and theory, literary studies, cultural studies, broadcasting/ media.
Members of the program committee: Jim Hoffman, Chair, Thompson Rivers University; Jerry Wasserman, University of British Columbia; Malcolm Page, Simon Fraser University; Reid Gilbert, Capilano College; Celeste Derksen, University of Victoria.

This gallery includes just some of the 2,500 known photographs taken by Joaquim deBrum between 1880 and 1930. The photographs are an invaluable cultural resource, displaying scenes of Marshallese life and landscape during a time of significant cultural change. The images, captured on glassplate negatives, were recently digitized by the Marshallese Cultural Center of Kwajalein Atoll, and generously provided to the RMIHPO.
Born in 1869 on Ebon Atoll, Joaquim was the son of Likmeto, a Marshallese woman from Ebon Atoll, and Jose deBrum, a Portuguese whaler who settled in the Marshall Islands as a trader. In 1874, the deBrum family left Ebon Atoll for Likiep Atoll, which Jose purchased from Likmeto’s father, Irooj Jortōkā. According to family historians, Joaquim received four years of formal education on Jabor Island, Jaluit Atoll, where he learned boat building and general carpentry. He is said to have constructed over 100 vessels along with his large home on Likiep Atoll, which he filled with extravagant furnishings. His home, known as the Joaquim deBrum House, is listed on both the RMI and U.S. National Registers of Historic Places. In 1893, Joaquim married Lijioan. He died in 1937.
Many of the photographs still lack information. Please contact us if you are able to identify people, places, or events.

Special report concerning allegations about the conduct of Sir Ken Jones QPM
This report presents detailed findings of a thorough review of previous investigations by the Office of Police Integrity (OPI), into the conduct of Sir Ken Jones QPM. The report was prepared by the Hon Murray Kellam AO QC. Mr Kellam, a former Justice of Victoria’s Court of Appeal and the current Chief Commissioner of Tasmania’s Integrity Commission.
Mr Kellam’s review concluded that the evidence available to OPI and set out in OPI’s final investigation report to the Ombudsman did not support an allegation that Sir Ken Jones QPM had engaged in serious misconduct by leaking or facilitating leaking to the media of confidential police information.
Mr Kellam further determined that it is not in the public interest for the OPI investigation report to be provided to Parliament, nor for IBAC itself to further investigate the matter.

"A famed seer of the deserts who is said to have glimpsed his own death. So he fights each battle, explores each cavern, challenges each evil knowing that is yet not his time. Yet what such fate befalls a man who can do nothing but accept the destiny that he has proven to himself to be an inevitable truth."
Harshul is an archaeologist of the Earth Kingdom who has gained notoriety for his discovery of various ancient treasures hidden in the vastness of the world. He has published prodigious literature describing the history of the world, and because he possesses the documents to back his claims he is accepted as a premier pioneer in the field by his fellow historians despite his relatively young age. As a result, Harshul is a respected professor at Ba Sing Sei University—one of the world's top universities. However, despite his fame much is unknown about Harshul prior to his activities with the exception that his parents were both archaeologist who had been declared dead after failing to return from an expedition. Though, on his own accounts, he claims to have lived among an indigenous nomadic tribe within the Si Wong Desert following his parents unfortunate demise; he attributes the people of this tribe as his saviors for nursing him back to health after him finding him on the verge of death from dehydration. Either through his near death experience or through birthright, Harshul has been bestowed with a sort of clairvoyance—the ability to gather information about an object, person, place, etc., through extrasensory perceptions—that he does not quite understand, yet has devoted much of his research and time to its comprehension.

So far I have been posting about the clothes I have been making but now I want to pay homage to the pattern cutting book that taught me all I know: Pattern Magic by Tomoko Nakamichi.
This book is invaluable to anyone who wants to move on from basic pattern cutting to creating really modern garments that are sure to stand out!
The reviews on Amazon praise this book but most caution against using it if you are not already a competent pattern cutter. I will admit that some things are not included (eg. instructions on how to draw a basic sleeve block) but these things can be found from a simple internet search so I would say this book is suitable for anyone happy with using shop bought patterns!
There are several projects in the book. Some are very complete (like the lovely “hide and seek” dress on page 77) and some are just suggestions of projects (like the bamboo shoot bodice). When I first got this book I spent hours and hours just looking through. It is so inspiring. The English translation is very well done and understandable even with the more technical instructions and the use of diagrams and pictures guides the reader gently through all the necessary steps whilst allowing room to add flare!
The book is separated into two sections although I can’t really see what distinction there is between them: both contain a mixture of techniques and projects. My favourite parts of the book are those dealing with the sculptural aspects of more stiff fabric such as the “drop hole” technique which I used in my Vortex – N -skirt.
If you are starting out you can easily follow the patterns in the book before moving on to designing your own things that are sure to turn heads! I can’t wait to get the rest of these books in this series but I have by no means exhausted all the possibilities I have in mind for the techniques I have learned so far.
