The Definition of Success - What Living Homeless Taught Me
The Definition of Success tells the story of Derek Snook, a recent college graduate from an upper class town who, driven by a search for meaning in life, purpose in his vocation, and jadedness towards his upbringing, voluntarily lives homeless for a year. Funny, heartbreaking, and deeply challenging, through encounters with the homeless this story confronts the things society tells us to blindly accept. We join Derek as he asks questions about success. We watch him grapple with his beliefs in a religiously hypocritical culture.
Through the experience Derek identifies a need among the homeless and starts a $3,000,000 + organization to address it. This book is for those looking for meaning in their lives, purpose in their vocation, who question their society, or are jaded towards America's version of Christianity.
Here's what influencers are saying:
We need more entrepreneurs engaging the most difficult challenges our society faces today with these kinds of innovative businesses and approaches.--Brad D. Smith, Chairman and CEO, Intuit
It's critical that Christianity discovers ways to make the Gospel practical in a culture that changes so rapidly it's impossible to keep up. This book does just that, telling a story that is both inspiring yet relatable so that anyone--regardless of belief system--can say, 'wow, I'm not sure if I believe in Jesus, but there's something to this, and we need more of it.--Richard Rohr, O.F.M.
The Definition of Success thoughtfully examines areas of life that most of us leave unchallenged while pointing to a higher ideal that goes far beyond that of any political party. The truth of Jesus for Christians points to a way and a life, but this book helps give that message a universal meaning.--Mike McCurry, Press Secretary for President Clinton
This book says that our lives are about more than the way we conventionally define success or failure. When we look, we can find value in every story.--Mark Sanford, U.S. Representative for South Carolina's 1st congressional district
This book tells an ordinary story with national significance. Its spirit captures the essence of what every city should be, a place where all citizens strive for the harmony and well being of the city regardless of race, religion, socioeconomic status, politics or sexuality; a place where citizens, having seen one another s pain, do not walk by with indifference but overcome their fears to heal one another because it is right and true. This book captures the idealism of a city that is yet to come, that we can only strive for, and yet remains worthy of our striving.--Mayor Joseph P. Riley Jr.
The Definition of Success illustrates what all successful organizations should inspire: Find a Purpose worth total commitment of yourself (Heart, Soul, and Mind), while creating value to the community to sustain itself.--Byron Davis, CEO of Fisher Price
When I dream, I wish for the world in which there are many Derek Snooks whose eyes see the possibilities for those in need and in doing so find great purpose. Let's join hands with Derek to further his vision.--Mayor John Tecklenburg
Here's what readers are saying:
"It made me really uncomfortable at times, revealing my internal dialogue as judgmental and prejudiced. It made me laugh, a lot! It has changed the way I look at the world around me. It has already been an opening for some really transparent, and sometimes difficult, conversations with friends and family."
"The Definition of Success reenergized my commitment to purpose. Derek walks us through his own journey of how engaging with people experiencing homelessness changed him. His vulnerability creates permission for the reader to then also be changed - and I highly recommend you read it!"
"If I knew Christians thought this way I wouldn't have walked away from God for so long."


Ican speak of the entire Process — having Done It, Manifested It, Demonstrated It.
And I can account for It because I Know It — not because I am philosophizing about Its possibility.
Death is utterly acceptable to consciousness and life. There has been endless time of numberless deaths, but neither consciousness nor life has ceased to arise. The felt quality and cycle to death has not modified the fragility of flowers, even the flowers within the human body.
Therefore, one's understanding of consciousness and life must be turned to That Utter, Inclusive Truth, That Clarity and Wisdom, That Power and Untouchable Gracefulness, That One and Only Reality, this evidence suggests.
— Avatar Adi Da Samraj
from the Prologue to Easy Death
Whether you are approaching your own death, facing the death of a loved-one, or are simply in need of understanding the purpose of this brief and mortal life, you will find in the pages of Easy Death a most extraordinary and unique Help — Real Help, not mere consolation or impermanent philosophy, given in the Wisdom, and in the human Form, of Avatar Adi Da Samraj.
For Adi Da Samraj was born in and as and from the "Bright" Reality in which there is neither birth nor death, and His entire lifetime has been spent unlocking that Ultimate Condition from limited views of the ego, in order to offer a way for anyone to Realize It directly.
His human body has endured and "seen" the entire death process and all the after-death states and has entered into What Is, Beyond all of that. There is, therefore, no greater Authority on matters of death and ultimate transcendence.
Read about Adi Da's Death Experiences and Events
This third edition of Easy Death has been
thoroughly revised and updated, and includes:
- New Talks and Essays from Avatar Adi Da on death and ultimate transcendence
- Practical Instruction on how to prepare for death, how to help a loved-one die, how to assist the death of an animal, and more
- Stories of Avatar Adi Da's Spiritual Help in the death transitions of His devotees and their loved-ones
- Revelation of specific details of what actually occurs in the psycho-physical being during death and after death — based on Avatar Adi Da's direct participation in the death process, unhindered by philosophy or any traditional religious point of view
- Why Spiritual practice is the "solution" to death, and what is required to Realize the Ultimate Deathless Condition; the distinction between ego-death and physical death
- Details about reincarnation and how it actually works; how the mind affects what occurs in the death process; how bardos (after-death states) are related to mind
- The Truth about the "light" and the "tunnel" of popular wisdom on death
- How death relates to the real Spiritual Process of Divine Enlightenment; how to relate to the Divine in the death process, and in life
- Avatar Adi Da's Ultimate Offering of the relationship to Him as means to Realize the Deathless Condition
"Since I began reading spiritual literature at the age of nineteen . . . no book has changed my view of the universe more profoundly than Easy Death
"Adi Da Samraj has spoken directly to the heart of our human condition — the shocking reality of our brief and unbidden lives. Through his words I have experienced a glimmering of eternal life."

Democrats get sicker and more deviant by the day. Will Americans ever wake up and make that party extinct? I guess they can’t because the Democrats will always have the commies, rioters, and sexual predators to fall back on.
Elmbrook School District offers students access to books and information via an online library called SORA.
The SORA database is filled with sexually explicit books for kids as young as eight.
The database has books such as “This Book is Gay,” by Juno Dawson, and “Queer,” by Kathy Belge and Marke Biesche. “This Book is Gay” offers tips on how to access, sex apps that explain:
1 Upload a tiny picture of yourself to the app.
2 The app works out your location
3 The app tells you who the nearest homosexuals are.
4 You then chat to them.
5 Because they are near, it is easy to meet up with them
And they get away with it because of liberal parents. people like that should not be allowed to procreate. The book “Queer,” which parents dubbed “sexually explicit,” explains to the eight-year-olds anal sex, oral sex, one-night stands, and “vaginal sex with dildos.”
You know, things every third grader should know about and participate in.
The authors then go on to explain that there are three kinds of Christians, all of which are evil, not like teaching third-graders how to have sex with adults, which as everyone knows is extremely moral, right, and good. The three types are “The ‘God hates fags’ people,” “The ‘God can help you’ people,” and “The ‘hate the sin, love the sinner’ people.”
Wendy Dorn, a parent activist in the district, told The Daily Wire that the district uses a content filter called “Securly” to weed out sexual content. According to Dorn, parents realized they did not receive reports via Securly that their students’ school Chromebooks had accessed “This Book is Gay” or “Queer.” (The Securly reports do not note what books are accessed.)
“What I have a problem with is that our school district’s curation of this sexually charged content in the online school library trespasses on a parent’s right to draw boundaries around the age, environment, context, and point of view from which this kind of sexual information is exposed, shared, described, interpreted, and understood,” Dorn said.
Parents are also concerned that the books do not align with the State of Wisconsin Sex Education Policy, which promises to teach towards abstinence. The policy promises to “stress the value of abstinence as the only reliable way to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, and shall identify the skills necessary to remain abstinent” and present “abstinence from sexual activity as the preferred choice of behavior for unmarried pupils.”

This is another great book I was lucky to find recently with some amazing illustrations by Krystyna Turska (b.1933). Turska was born in Poland and came to Britain in 1948 after escaping from a Nazi concentration camp in Russia. (more details on this website: http://www.ncl.ac.uk/elll/childrensliterature/7S_highlights07.htm ). Her book "Pegasus" got a commendment for the Kate Greenaway Medal in 1970 and two years later she was awarded the Greenaway Medal for "The Woodcutter's Duck"(Hamish Hamilton,1971). Just brilliant and imaginative line illustrations with lovable and funny characters. I will be posting some more from this book soon.

I inherited this book from an uncle many years ago. He was running a kiosk selling newspapers and magazines for decades (from the 1930s to the 1980s) and collected thousands of books, periodicals etc of that period which (luckily) was passed on to me after his death!
I am really fond of this book because of the texture of the paper, the beautiful graphics for the titles and typefaces (you can see and feel the letterpress embossed on the pages) as well as the illustrations and stories. Here's only a small taste of what is inside the book. Every page spread is different than the one before - it somehow conveys the short-lived optimism of the early sixties in Greece, the romance about its past, and the blissful ignorance of what was about to happen by the end of that decade...

"Jack & The Beanstalk" Nursery Stories chosen and edited by Kathleen Lines and illustrated by Harold Jones (published by Oxford University Press, 1960
Harold Jones (1904-1992) was a British painter, wood engraver and print maker. He started illustrating books in the 1930s with superb pen and ink drawings delicately coloured and with cross-hatched tones. There are quite a few examples of his work and a small biography on this excellent website: http://www.fulltable.com/VTS/aoi/j/jonesh/j.htm Interestingly there is a display of another book he did in collaboration with Kathleen Lines, "Noah and the Ark"(1961). Among the many writers he illustrated for were Walter de la Mare, Charles Kingsley, Oscar Wilde and Lewis Caroll.

"Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan, Published by Sampson Low, Marston, Searle, & Rivington, London 1883 (Illustrated by Gordon Browne), part 2
Just a few more pictures from this beautifully illustrated book by Gordon Browne. According to Wikipedia he was the son of H.K. Browne (known as "Phiz") who was Charles Dickens' illustrator. He became much more accomplished than his father though and illustrated many children's books by authors like G.A. Henty, Juliana Horatia Ewing, Frederic William Farrar, Andrew Lang, L.T. Meade, E. Nesbit and others.

"Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan, Published by Sampson Low, Marston, Searle, & Rivington, London 1883 (Illustrated by Gordon Browne)
No, these are not the creations by our outgoing(hopefully) Prime Minister, dark as they are! This is the work of Gordon Browne(1858-1932) - with an "e". This book includes an amazing number of illustrations - 140! - these are only some of the striking characters portrayed. They are so well observed and detailed, convaying the darker aspects of human nature while being quite humorous as well(to me anyway). The deep, dramatic tones remind me of Rembrandt's engravings and the expressions on the faces and postures must have drawn some influence from Blake's work.

This has to be one of my all time favourite books. I bought it as soon as I saw it at Waterstones in 2003 - yes, it was for my kids who did love the story and the pictures but it's been kept in my library ever since!
Russell Ayto is one of the most exciting, talented and technically brilliant illustrators working in the UK today. His characters are so unique and outstanding yet cute and lovable. The colours are rich and the lines playful and very scratchy! Luckily he has illustrated quite a number of children's books(various publishers such as Walkers, Puffin, Peachtree, Orchard Books, Candlestick Press and others) which I can't resist buying when I find them even though my children have grown past that age.

Manga Manhua Manhwa for the Noobies
I preferred to write about my favourite hobby which is reading Manga, Manhua and Manhwa.
Young Generations, such as I, love to read not traditional books, as the older generation did, butlove to read manga, manhwa and manhua. Our generation have been reading more than previousgenerations, are changing the definition of classics to be more inclusive, and are the most likelygeneration to use libraries.
Manga/Manhwa/Manhua is good for your brain. In fact, reading (Manga/Manhwa/Manhua) maygive you an advantage over those, who grew up reading only traditional books. It benefits thosewith Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) too. The medium requires a different set of skills thanreading traditional books. It’s just that manga challenges the brain in different ways. The mediahas several layers of reading: images, words, onomatopoeia, and its own visual language. Thiscombination means “…even proficient readers of English—who are not experienced with thislevel of multi-modality and have been socialized into more traditional, nonhypertext, storylines—may find manga, as we do, to be a challenging read (Schwartz, 2006).”
Beyond the learning benefits, manga/manhwa/manhua provides a shared interest that allowspeople to socialize easier.
For Noobs (a person who is inexperienced in a particular sphere or activity, especially computingor the use of the internet) who does not have any idea what these three words means, my essaywill serves as a (your) guide.
The Differences Between Manga, Manhwa & Manhua.
Manga, manhwa and manhua are the same, right? Nope. Here’s a comparison between the threetypes of East Asian comics.
Manga, manhwa and manhua sound the same, and generally speaking, are similar in artwork andlayout, which can result in accidentally categorizing these comics as Japanese in origin. But,there are some subtle — but important — differences between the three that make all thedifference.
The History Of Manga, Manhwa & Manhua
The terms “manga” and “manhwa” actually come from the Chinese term “manhua,” whichmeans “impromptu drawings.” Originally, these terms were used within Japan, Korea and China,respectively, as general terms for all comics and graphic novels, regardless of the country oforigin. Now, international readers use these terms to address comics that are published from aspecific country: manga are Japanese comics, manhwa are Korean comics and manhua areChinese comics. The creators of these East Asian comics also have specific titles: a person who makes manga is a “mangaka,” a person who creates manhwa is a “manhwaga” and a person thatmakes manhua is a “manhuajia.” Along with etymology, each country has also historicallyinfluenced one another’s comics.
In late 19th century Japan, the popularity of manga skyrocketed with the Godfather of Manga,Tezuka Osamu, the creator of Astro Boy. There was a great demand for manga due to anincrease of readership in the 1950s to 1960s and soon after, manga became a global phenomenonwith overseas readership starting in the late 1980s to now.
Manhwa has its own history of development. During the Japanese Occupation (1910-1945) ofKorea, Japanese soldiers brought their culture and language into Korean society, including theimportation of manga. In the 1930s to 1950s, manhwa was used as propaganda for war effortsand to impose a political ideology on civilians. Manhwa became popular during the 1950s to1960s but declined due to the strict censorship laws in the mid-1960s. However, manhwa becamepopular again when South Korea launched websites that publish digital manhwa known aswebtoons, such as Daum Webtoon in 2003 and Naver Webtoon in 2004. Then in 2014, NaverWebtoon launched globally as LINE Webtoon.
Manhua are comics from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Manhua is said to have started in themid-19th century with the introduction of the lithographic printing process. Some manhua werepolitically-driven with stories about the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Japanese Occupationof Hong Kong. Yet, after the Chinese Revolution in 1949, there were strict censorship laws,resulting in manhua having a difficult time being legally published overseas. However,manhuajia began self-publishing their work on social media and webcomic platforms like QQComic and Vcomic.
East Asian comics have specified content aimed to attract different demographics, usually basedon age and gender. In Japan, boys’ shonen manga is filled with high-action and adventure storieslike My Hero Academia and Naruto. Girls’ shoujo manga is mainly features magical girlstories like Cardcaptor Sakura and complex romances like Fruits Basket.
Inspired by the art of Walt Disney, Tezuka Osamu drew his characters with big eyes, smallmouths and exaggerated facial expressions to emphasize certain emotions. Tezuka’s art styleinfluenced the artwork of other artists in Japan and elsewhere. However, manhwa and manhuacharacters are drawn to focus on more realistic human proportions and appearances. Manga andmanhwa also have realistic and detailed background settings, almost photo-realistic, in contrastto digital manhwa which has simpler backgrounds — though it should be noted that printmanhwa is more similar to manga in this regard.
Manga also uses a unique set of onomatopoeia in their narratives to describe not only the soundsof animals and inanimate objects but also the sounds of psychological states and emotions. Theseonomatopoeia are written in the surrounding panels and gutters of a page, much like Americancomics. Likewise, manhwa and manhua have their own set of onomatopoeia used to describe emotions and movements. Also, digital manhwa often use music and soundbites to enhance thereading experience, something novel to their electronic presentation.
With the internet, we have easy access to many East Asian comics. Whether you are readingmanga, manhwa or manhua, each comic has its merits, which only enhance the readingexperience for anyone anywhere.
As easy as counting 1,2,3, Manga, Manhua and Manhwa can be found easily on the internet. When I googled, bing or use yahoo search bar, I found what I needed for the said essay. What I learned from this is; it gave me additional knowledge of where my favourite Manga, Manhwa and Manhua came from. Its history and what it takes to bring each story to life.


Where Does the Story Take Place
Where Does the Story Take Place
Humans have embraced the natural cycles of decease and rebirth throughout history, acknowledging how they symbolically play out in countless aspects of life. From day and night to the periodic shifting of the seasons, myths from almost every civilization are embedded with tales virtually these fundamental truths of continuous balance and alter.
It makes sense, then, that the masters of myths — the ancient Greeks — have enough of fascinating stories that serve to explicate why people believed these cyclical events took place centuries ago. The concept of seasonal renewal, in particular, plays out in the Greek myth of Persephone, whose yearly travels were said to usher in different phases of the twelvemonth.
Hades Rises From the Underworld
The Greek legend of Persephone and the seasons begins with a group of powerful giants who attempted an uprising against the powerful ancient gods. Though the giants were a fearsome lot — some with 100 arms and others breathing fire — they were ultimately defeated by the gods and cached under Mount Aetna.
Furious over their defeat, the giants’ struggles to escape their prison house shook the world and caused the mountain to exhale fire, resulting in what people later chosen volcanoes. The eruptions ultimately became so violent that Hades, the god of the underworld, began to fear they would open up a portal between the upper world and his own.
So intense was his business organisation that he decided to visit the upper world to ensure that whatever was occurring there wasn’t threatening the security of his kingdom. Unfortunately for Hades, his trip to the upper world did not get unnoticed by Aphrodite and Eros, both of whom were Greek gods of love.
Upon spying Hades, Aphrodite got a sneaky idea. She remarked to Eros that many of the other goddesses, like Athena and Artemis, had begun embracing their independence a little too much for her liking, and this was making it difficult for her to fulfill her part of causing people to fall in love. She was afraid that others, such as Persephone, the young daughter of a goddess named Demeter, would follow their example and continue the cycle.
To put a stop to things, Aphrodite convinced Eros to shoot Hades with a strong love pointer to testify that non even the god of the underworld could escape the power of love. The plan worked, and it wasn’horizon long before Hades found himself completely captivated past Persephone. The fact that Persephone didn’t explicitly return his affections didn’n stop him from whisking her off to the underworld, where he made her his helpmate.
When Persephone turned up missing, her mother Demeter was frantic to find her absent child. Mean solar day and night, she searched the globe to no avail. Given that Demeter was the Greek goddess of the earth and agronomics, it was no surprise that eventually, her grief caused crops to suffer, plunging the earth into a catamenia of dearth — an caption for the time of the year that we now know as winter and associate with dormancy.
Eventually, Demeter was tipped off to her daughter’s fate by a nymph named Arethusa, who verified that she had seen Persephone in the underworld. Upon learning that her daughter had been forced to marry Hades, Demeter was furious, as the rex of the underworld was far from the perfect married man she’d had in mind for her girl.
Thus, Demeter took up her case with Zeus — king of the gods, Hades’ brother and Persephone’s father. Seeing how the world had suffered forth with Demeter, Zeus batas the girl fetched from the underworld and reunited with her mother. Unfortunately, Hades had foreseen this and had tricked his new bride into eating some pomegranate seeds. The sweet arils had a drug-similar effect on Persephone, who announced that she wanted to stay in the underworld with her new husband.
Finding himself in a tricky spot, Zeus was forced to brand a compromise. He decreed that Persephone would be allowed to remain with Hades in the underworld for role of the year but would need to arise and spend the remainder of the twelvemonth with Demeter.
This myth — which exists equally lore in both ancient Greek and Durja mythologies — is said to explain why the earth flourishes during some seasons, such as spring and summer, and remains barren and dead during others. During the wintertime when nothing much grows, Persephone is said to have returned to the underworld, causing her mother to resume her annual cycle of mourning. During the spring, nonetheless, the earth rejoices along with Demeter at Persephone’s yearly return by providing bountiful crops.
Bertamadun Spring Celebrations Accept Roots in Persephone’southward Tale
Stories of death and rebirth are common among endless cultures to this day, and it’s typical for many of us around the world to celebrate the period of renewal in particular. Each spring, Christians worldwide gloat Easter, which is meant to signify the resurrection of Jesus after his death on the cross. Easter is traditionally observed on the outset Sunday following the Paschal total moon, ordinarily on or just after the spring equinox. Thus, the commemoration of Jesus’ revival coordinates with the globe’s agricultural resurgence as jump arrives in the northern hemisphere and drives out the dark days of winter.
Each leap, Wiccans, Druids and other pagans celebrate Ostara or Eostre, a holiday from which the name “Easter” is believed to have originated. The holiday marks the annual spring equinox and celebrates the return of fertility, light and abundance to the earth.

An unusual new book designed by Stu Taylor and partner DJ Stout in Pentagram’s Austin office comes out of the closet, literally, on December 2. Published by powerHouse Books, Malformed: Forgotten Brains of the Texas State Mental Hospital features still-life images of brains by Austin-based photographer Adam Voorhes with reporting and essays by Alex Hannaford.
“The book will be out just in time for those hard to shop for Christmas gifts,” quips Stout. “But seriously, these expertly crafted images may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I think they are fascinating and beautiful in their own right.”

New City Books is a joint publishing imprint of the Syracuse University School of Architecture and Princeton Architectural Press that explores architecture, landscape architecture, infrastructure, and planning in the redevelopment of the civic realm. Pentagram’s Michael Bierut and his team have designed the series, which highlights the formative nature of innovative design and makes a case for strategies that spur widespread support of reurbanization in American cities.
While the five books in the series are united by the topical thread of urban redevelopment and design, the content of each book is highly specific in its own right. Rather than applying the same design elements across the series, each book is distinguished by its own set of display typefaces for titles, heading, and the body copy, as well as a unique spine color that alludes to the information within. The New City Books wordmark is set in the same typeface as the copy within the corresponding book.

No artist has tapped in to Austin’s distinctive ethos like filmmaker Richard Linklater. His indie classic Slacker helped to define the laidback, “keep it weird” attitude of the burgeoning Texas metropolis.
Now, Pentagram partner DJ Stout and designer Stu Taylor in our Austin office have designed and produced a book of photographs by Matt Lankes that documents the making of Boyhood, Linklater’s critically acclaimed new film that has taken the country by storm.

Pentagram associate Julie Savasky and partner-in-charge DJ Stout in our Austin office have designed and produced Jack Allen’s Kitchen: Celebrating the Tastes of Texas, the first cookbook from the popular Austin-area eatery. Distributed by the University of Texas Press, the book will make its debut at the Texas Book Festival next weekend, October 24 through 27. Jack Gilmore, the restaurant’s colorful owner, is a bit of a celebrity chef, but he doesn’t look like one. With his tumbleweed mane, gray-streaked beard, and Cheshire Cat smile, he looks more like an unkempt Yosemite Sam than a culinary master.
“He looks like ‘Austin’ actually,” says Stout. “His hard work ethic, creativity in the kitchen, and devotion to sustainability and locally sourced food—he was doing ‘Farm to Table’ before it was cool—has made him one of the most admired chefs in these parts.”

Guido Palau, also known as simply Guido, is an unparalleled force in fashion, a hair stylist who has worked alongside many of the most influential designers and photographers to shape contemporary beauty. A progenitor of fashion’s “grunge” movement in the 1990s, Guido continues to use hair to explore notions of identity. Hair is a new book by Guido and the renowned fashion photographer David Sims that highlights hair as a transformative medium in a series of portraits of unique and astonishing styles.
Pentagram’s Abbott Miller has designed Hair to showcase Guido’s avant-garde creations as works of art. Created over a two-year period, the 70 portraits in the book represent a personal project that allowed Guido the freedom to use hair to re-contextualize personalities, genders and codes of identity.

The Augustinian Historical Institute
Augustiniana (ISSN 0004-8003) is published by the Augustinian Historical Institute. This Institute provides excellent tools for researchers on Augustine, Augustinism and the Augustinian order.
Augustinian Historical Institute
Tel. : +32 (0)16 38.71.65 Fax. : +32 (0)16 40.94.38
Not only does the AHI house a specialized library, it can also boast to have developed two bibliographies, both of which its first fruits were published in Augustiniana. Both are now freely accessible on the internet:
1. "Finding Augustine"
The admirable bibliographical work of van Bavel on Augustine resulted in his monumental work Répertoire bibliographique de saint Augustin, 1950-1960 (Instrumenta Patristica 3) (1963), but the first results had already been published in Augustiniana. Since 1963 this bibliographical repertorium has been kept up to date in the Institute in an impressive card catalogue. In order to disclose the enormous bibliographical database thus obtained, the Institute - in close collaboration with the University of Villanova (USA) - made the full bibliography freely available on the internet in 2009. At www.findingaugustine.org you can search this extensive database online (currently more than 80,000 entries!), and explore its refined tree structure.
2. "Finding Augustinians"
In the second volume of Augustiniana (1952) friar Norbert Teeuwen published a first bibliography of the history of the Augustinian order (dating from 1952) ("Bibliographie d'histoire augustinienne"). At regular intervals further additions appeared in the journal, and this painstaking work was continued by Albéric de Meijer (osa) between 1973 and 2004. Since then, the Institute kept the bibliography up to date within a website based version. With the financial support of the Augustinian order, the free online version of this unique bibliography received an update. The result you can see at www.findingaugustinians.org


Monster Party is an explosion of fun and pure joy. Children will love the hilarious, naughty desert monsters who come out of the ground to have a party on Dora Lake. Eating chips and monster cake, they go ‘galumphing’ all over the place with a drum and a bass! Of all shapes and sizes, these monsters create havoc for the children at Rawa Community School who live on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert – ‘dancing and stomping’, ‘crashing and crunching’, ‘prowling and growling’, ‘happy and smiling’! Jeepers creepers! The monster cut-out illustrations created by the students are delightful. Monster Party will capture the hearts of the very young and the young at heart.

Written by Alison Lester
Alison Lester worked as a non-Indigenous collaborator with the Children from Rawa Community School to create the book Monster Party.
Alison is one of Australia's most beloved children's authors. Alison grew up on a farm overlooking the sea and first rode a horse as a baby in her father's arms. She still lives in the country and rides her horse Woollyfoot, whenever she can. Her picture books mix imaginary worlds with everyday life, encouraging children to believe in themselves and celebrate the differences that make them special. Alison spends part of every year traveling to schools in remote areas, using her books to help children and adults write and draw about their own lives. Alison was Australia's Inaugural Children's Laureate from 2011 to 2013.
Children of Rawa Community School
Located on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert at Punmu in the Pilbara Region of WA, Rawa is one of the most remote AISWA (Aboriginal Independent Schools WA) schools.
In 2017, Alison Lester and Jane Godwin, celebrated Australian children’s and YA authors, visited Rawa Community School as part of an AISWA initiated project.
Jane Godwin worked with the students to create stories, real and imagined, around life in their community, and Alison Lester showed students how to produce a colourful array of illustrations using different mediums and colour palettes. Collectively they produced captivating stories that reflect the culture of the Punmu community and their shared love of storytelling.


… I thought that only
Someone who lived in turning to fresh tasks
Could so forget his handiwork on which
He spent himself …
Robert Frost, “The Wood-Pile”
Faust erblindet. Die Nacht scheint tiefer tief hereinzudringen, / Allein im Innern leuchtet helles Licht: / Was ich gedacht, ich eil es zu vollbringen ….
J. W. von Goethe, Faust, II
Richard Krautheimer recalled his last meeting with his fellow art historian Adolf Goldschmidt. “As a young man,” said Goldschmidt, “let’s say at thirty, I was convinced that I knew Medieval art. Then, toward fifty, this claim seemed exaggerated to me; but German and French sculpture of the Duecento and the Trecento, that at least was familiar to me. Now, having passed seventy, all that I seem to know is the sculpture of Lower Saxony between 1230 and 1250.” In the same spirit (and a decade older) I offer this revised and expanded study of Girolamo Frescobaldi, whose original was published thirty-five years ago.
To paraphrase Manfred Bukofzer, “The first extended study of Girolamo Frescobaldi in English and the first scholarly biography in any language needs no apology.” But after more than three decades of continuing research and meditation by myself and many others such a study is certainly ripe for an update. Its new subtitle, “An Extended Biography,” indicates a change of focus: as my friend the late Roberto Pagano observed, “The enemy of the book you’re rewriting is the book you wrote.” In the earlier work I aimed for conciseness and synthesis. More than three decades of continuing immersion in seventeenth-century Italy, embodied in several succeeding books, have led me to attempt a wider picture of the milieu in which Frescobaldi lived and worked. This includes digressions into such subjects as seventeenth-century Italian marriage customs, music printing and publishing, city planning, domestic architecture and plumbing, and the horrors of the plague: it is also necessarily a compendium of the work of many other scholars. The result may be criticized as a galimatias. In any case it is most charitably approached as a multifocused survey rather than a linear narrative.
The differences between this study and its original are of various sorts. The simplest is the discovery of new factual information. The most important of this material is contained in the two ceremonial diaries of Andrea Amici (d. 1642), a cleric of St. Peter’s, from which we can now reconstruct Frescobaldi’s activities as organist of the Cappella Giulia almost day by day. Other new material has sometimes led to the revision of conventional wisdom. For example, Claudio Annibaldi convincingly depicted the Devolution of Ferrara and the visit of Clement VIII in 1597-98 not as an effort on the part of the Aldobrandini papacy to prolong the glories of Ferrarese Renaissance civilization but to destroy them and to exterminate along with them the very memory of the house of Este.
In some cases I have simply been mistaken, either in small fact or larger interpretation, and I have gratefully accepted correction by more recent scholarship. A case in point is my original view of Florence in Chapter 9 as a declining Renaissance political and artistic culture rather than the capital of an effective emerging modern state, and a negative—not to say unthinkingly misogynous—view of the regency of Christina of Lorraine and Archduchess Maria Maddalena for their respective grandson and son, Ferdinando II de’ Medici. For this, the work of Kelley Harness and Suzanne C. Cusick has provided the necessary corrective. Where my own revised understanding of some of these questions has come as a gradual process, I have sometimes presented it as such rather than as a fait accompli. The expanded chapter on instruments draws on the fundamental research of builder-scholars such as Denzil Wraight, and the revision of the chapter on performance reflects the great advances in early music performance in the last three decades. As Old Mother Reily observed, “Time marches on, not sideways.” In general, I find that I am inclined not to paint with so broad a brush as three decades ago.
The most important new tool for Frescobaldi studies is Alexander Silbiger’s Frescobaldi Thematic Catalogue Online (FTCO, frescobaldi.music.duke.ed). This provides a consistent numbering of Frescobaldi’s entire output and related works based on the Opere Complete, as well as manuscripts (incipits, volume number, place in volume, additional identifying sigla), full source references, and is updated regularly (further on FTCO see the introduction to the Manuscripts section of the present Catalogue).
There is a good deal of quotation of Italian materials in the present work, in my own translations except where noted, and the originals are cited at what some may consider excessive length. I have tried to include all of Frescobaldi’s written remains both in their original and in translation (see Appendix II), encouraged by Iris Origo’s dictum: “When a biographer can record what a man actually said, he awakens a degree of conviction denied to any other form of narrative.” Owing both to the unavailability of much of this material in out-of-the-way and out-of-print publications and to the variability of standards of transcription and translation, both in terms of Italian grammar and historical context, I feel that readers should have available all the material necessary to check the accuracy of my Englishing.
The quotation of archival materials is also sometimes disproportionately extended, most notably in the citations of the second, unpublished, volume of the Vatican ceremonial diary in Chapter 8 and in the discussion of the Oratorio del Crocifisso in Chapter 10. Much of the materials cited there from the Archivio Capitolare di San Pietro and the Archivio Segreto Vaticano of the Biblioteca Vaticana have not yet appeared in print, and it seemed appropriate to quote them at greater length than if they were otherwise available. I have included extensive visual materials in the hope of providing a richer context of places and persons, even of some peripheral ones.
I wonder if any previously neglected Western composer of importance has been so fortunate as Frescobaldi in the burgeoning quantity and quality of scholarship of his work, beginning with the 1983 quadricentenary celebrations in Ferrara and those organized by Alexander Silbiger in Madison, Wisconsin. A simple listing of names will hardly begin to acknowledge the debts that I owe to my fellow-scholars: Claudio Annibaldi, Patrizio Barbieri, Lorenzo Bianconi, Walter Burr, Franca Camiz, Adriano Cavicchi, Suzanne C. Cusick, Étienne Darbellay, Elio Durante and Anna Martellotti, Dinko Fabris, Saverio Franchi, Kelley Harness, John W. Hill, Christine Jeanneret, Robert Judd, Warren Kirkendale, Martin Kirnbauer, Marilyn Aronberg Lavin, Oscar Mischiati, James Moore, Anthony Newcomb, Noel O’Regan, Susan Parisi, Louise Rice, Giancarlo Rostirolla, Alexander Silbiger, Christopher Stembridge, Luigi Ferdinando Tagliavini, and Denzil Wraight. I am particularly indebted to Christopher Stembridge for helpful comments and for his kindness in letting me read the preface to his forthcoming edition of the Fiori musicali.
Other friends have provided assistance from their profound knowledge of things Roman, including Maria Giulia Barberini, Irving Lavin, Georgina Masson, and Patricia Waddy. To Msgr. Charles Burns of the Archivio Segreto Vaticano in Rome and to Dott. Gino Corti in Florence I owe thanks for assistance with archival problems. Various contributions were made to earlier versions of the text by Donna Livia Aldobrandini Pediconi, Howard Brown, Don Frank and Donna Orietta Doria-Pamphilj Pogson, Marchese Ferdinando de’ Frescobaldi, Gregory Harrold, John Hollander, Professor Gerhard Kroll of the Musikwißenschaftliches Institut in Salzburg, Sibyl Marcuse, James Moore, Isabel and Laurance Roberts, and Eugene Walter. Princess Margherita Rospigliosi formed a living link with the Roman past. For more recent assistance I wish to thank Dott.ssa Mirna Bonazza of the Biblioteca Comunale Ariostea, Ferrara; Dr. Kathryn Bosi, former Merrill Music Librarian, Villa I Tatti; Dott. Luigi Cacciaglia; Anne Marie Dragosits, scholar and performer of Froberger; Bruce Gustafson; Prof. Martin Kirnbauer, Peter Laki, Dott.ssa Rita Romanelli of the Archivio Niccolini di Camegliano di Firenze; Dott. Riccardo Spinelli; and Mons. Dario Rizza and Dott. Vincenzo M. Piacquadio of the Archivio Capitolare di San Pietro. Meg Montgomery performed the miracle of transforming an unruly revision into a readable website. In many respects this project is as much her work as mine.
No less appreciated is the support of other friends: James Bagwell, Michael and Cornelia Bessie, Irma Brandeis, Elisabeth Mann Borgese, Leon Botstein, Christopher Hogwood, Evelyn and Margaret Hutchinson, James Merrill, Carl Pritzkat and Anthony Travostino, James and Mary Ottaway, Roberto and Maria Carla Pagano, Theo Stavropoulos, Emma Lewis Thomas, William Weaver, Robert Winter, and the members of the Lamon family. For the home-keeping scholar two things are indispensible: access to the internet and a good bookseller. For the latter, I am most fortunate in Michael Shamansky, Italian bibliophile extraordinary.
Much of my work in Europe was facilitated by grants for research and other assistance from the University of California at Los Angeles, the UCLA Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation, and Bard College, as well as by fellowships and hospitality from the American Academy in Rome and the Harvard Center for Renaissance Studies at Villa I Tatti (with special thanks to its then acting director, my distant cousin Mason Hammond).
In Rome, among the institutions that have contributed to this and previous versions of Girolamo Frescobaldi are the library of the American Academy in Rome, the musicological section of the German Historical Institute and its former director, Dr. Friedrich Lippmann; the Archivio Storico del Vicariato di Roma at San Giovanni in Laterano; the Archivio, Archivio Capitolare di San Pietro, and Archivio Segreto of the Biblioteca Apostolica Vatican; the Archivio di Stato di Roma; the Archivio Aldobrandini; the Archivio Doria Pamphilj; the Biblioteca Casanatense; the Biblioteca del Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia; and the Biblioteca Corsiniana. Much of the musical material was examined in the holdings of the Civico Museo Bibliografico Musicale (now the Museo internazionale e Biblioteca della Musica) in Bologna. In Ferrara, I have consulted the Archivio di Stato and the Biblioteca Comunale Ariostea; in Florence, the Archivio di Stato, the Archivio Niccolini di Camegliano di Firenze, the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, the archives of Santa Croce and San Lorenzo, and the library of the Harvard Center for Renaissance Studies at Villa I Tatti, especially the Morrill Music Library; in Modena, the Archivio di Stato and the Archivio Segreto Estense; in Reggio Emilia, the Biblioteca Municipale; and in Venice, the Archivio di Stato, the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, and the library of the Fondazione Cini.
Outside Italy, material has been furnished by the Bibliothèque Royale of Brussels; the British Library in London; the Santini Collection now in the Priesterseminar in Münster; the Bibliothèque du Conservatoire, Bibliothèque Nationale, and Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris; and the Minoritenkonvent and Oesterreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna. In the United States I have consulted the New York Public Library and the Mary Flagler Cary Collection in the Pierpont Morgan Library, New York City; the Library of Congress; the Newberry Library in Chicago; the Research and Music Libraries of the University of California at Berkeley and Los Angeles; and the Libraries of Yale University and the Yale School of Music. I owe a special debt of gratitude to the Vassar College Music Library and to the Bard College Library, in particular to Jane Dougal.
Illustrations appear here by kind permission of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II; the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana; the Soprintendenza Beni Artistici e Storici of Florence; Prince Aldobrandini; the Staatliche Museen Preussicher Kulturbesitz in Berlin; the Bibliothèque Nationale and Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris; the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm; the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, the Special Collections of the Research Library of the University Library of the University of California, Los Angeles; the Courthold Institute; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Spencer Collection of the New York Public Library; and the Smithsonian Institution. Every attempt has been made to trace the holders of copyright.
This reworked study could not but retain its original dedication. But I want to acknowledge also the thirty years of friendship, encouragement, and collaboration of Roberto Pagano, only one of whose benefactions to me was the translation of an earlier version of this text into Italian.

The Stupefying Stories line-up
I'm reposting from its web page the rundown of the December issue of Stupefying Stories:
Hard to believe it's December 2012 already. Depending on who you listen to we only have about three weeks left before the world ends, either from magnetic pole reversal, crossing the galactic ecliptic, the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, a collision with Planet X, global warming, global cooling, the return of Quetzalcoatl, President Obama and Speaker of the House Boehner joining hands, flooring it, and going full Thelma & Louise off the edge of the fiscal cliff, or the regrettable and wholly inexplicable failure of the Ancient Mayans to invent the perpetual calendar.
In any case, as we were putting together this book, we thought: what better way to go out with a bang that with a bunch of great stories exploring the end of the world—and what might come after? From ecological catastrophes to alien invasions; from tyrannical overreaching central governments to dangerous unfettered cowboy capitalists: It's the End of the World, As We Know It!
And the stories in this book will make you feel just fine.
STUPEFYING STORIES 1.11 (a.k.a., "the December edition"), is edited by award-winning writer Bruce Bethke and features:

° Privacy and Personhood in a World Without Mystery. What is lost when we start to think of ourselves as the sum of our demographic information, Facebook updates, and transactional histories?

° Reflections on the Impact of "the Digital Revolution" on Art and Religion. Why do we call it a "revolution" in the first place? This essay explores the four essential ways the internet, digital technologies, and the habits they foster, are changing our relationship to art and religion: the notion of authority is being replaced by notions of popularity; the sense of mystery is being lost; notions of eternity are being replaced with notions of recency and currency; and the sense of narrative is being replaced with concepts of information structure.

° Fiduciary Law: Why Now? Amending the Law School Curriculum in Boston University Law Journal, May 2011, pg. 795. Mr. Chodos delivered a short paper on the same topic at the October 30, 2010 conference on Fiduciary Law held at Boston University.

° Patriotism: Altruism or Narcissism? Good or Evil? and The Law as Society's Quest for Integrity. The first of these essays argues that patriotism's "shelf life" has expired, because the nation state does not play the same role in our lives today as it used to do.

Anne Lister (1791 – 1840) moved permanently into the run-down Shibden Hall, Halifax, in 1815. She was joining her Aunt Anne and Uncle James with the view to possibly one day inherit, but more importantly, to learn about managing the estate.
Highly intelligent with an unquenchable thirst for life, Anne recorded her life in minute detail. She was a lesbian, a passionate lover and a woman true to herself. During her life Anne had many lovers, and a love life which was unsurprisingly complex. Being polygamous, as well as utterly captivating, led to a few broken hearts.
Anne was a woman who lived each day to its fullest. She travelled extensively including Paris, Germany, Switzerland and Belgium in her travels. She completed the first official ascent of Vignemale, at 3,298m the highest peak in the French Pyrenees. In 1839 -1840 she travelled through Russia to Caucasus.
Anne was highly observant and recorded everything. In total her diaries amount to 5 million words, 7720 pages. The diaries begin in 1806 aged 15 with accounts of her first lover Eliza Raine, and continue until her death and her final lover, Anne Walker.
After Anne’s sudden death at the age of 49, Anne Lister’s diaries were placed behind wooden panelling at Shibden Hall and remained hidden for eighty years. Although discovered in 1887, it wasn’t until 1988 with Helena Whitbread’s publication of ‘I know my own heart’, that the lesbian Anne Lister came into the public domain.
More recently, Anne Lister has become more widely known after the extremely popular BBC TV series ‘Gentleman Jack’.

At Tulsa Public Schools, we want to make sure we provide the best experience for all of our students and families, and that starts when you first enroll.
Our families have been loud and clear that our current enrollment system is confusing - different enrollment and application windows and times, different types of applications and application processes, and our application windows aren't aligned to allow families to have the largest range of choices possible.
We want to make it simple and easy for families to choose - and stay with - Tulsa Public Schools, and we think an improved enrollment system is a step forward. Our improved enrollment system will launch in the winter of 2019-2020 for families who are enrolling for the 2020-2021 school year.
With this new system, families will need to complete just one application for neighborhood, magnet, and our charter schools. Families can select up to six different schools that meet their child's needs and interests. Finally, all applications and documents will be submitted during one enrollment period.
The focus for the first year of this enrollment system is on ensuring that our system is designed to help all students have access to exceptional learning experiences, but the rules, criteria or priorities that govern who is accepted in our schools are not changing.
We have scheduled four information sessions for our families to learn more about this new enrollment system:
- Monday, October 28, from 6-7 p.m. at the Alcott Building at 525 E. 46th St. N.
- Tuesday, October 29, from 6-7 p.m. at the Herman and Kate Kaiser Library at 5202 S. Hudson Ave.
- Tuesday, November 5, from 6-7 p.m. at East Central Junior High School at 12121 E. 21st St. *This meeting will be in Spanish.
- Thursday, November 7, from 6-7 p.m. at the Zarrow Regional Library in the south meeting room at 2225 W. 51st St.
We invite all of our families to attend these meetings to learn more about our improved enrollment system and to ask any questions you may have.
Our 2020-2021 enrollment period opens December 9, 2019, and closes January 31, 2020. Once we launch the new system you will need to create a new account. Once you have an account you can use the following options to enroll:
- Enrollment Center at 2819 S. New Haven Ave.
- Martin Regional Library at 2601 S. Garnett Rd. *Spanish available
- Zarrow Regional Library at 2224 W. 51st St.
- Rudisill Regional Library at 1520 N. Hartford Ave.
- Tulsa County Library at 400 Civic Center
- Alcott Building at 525 E. 46th St. N.
We are also holding an all-district expo on Saturday, January 11, 2020, at the Cox Business Center from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Families will have the opportunity to interact, ask questions, and gather information from schools and school leaders.

Acts: Accomplished Through Us
The book of Acts is also known as “The Acts of the Apostles” and “The Gospel of the Holy Spirit.” It’s pages are full of references to God’s Holy Spirit, which is the catalyst that ignited a movement that is continuing, 2,000 years later, to spread like fire across the globe. The early church faced persecution from without and division from within. Yet, it’s focus on putting God’s Word into practice ensured that it didn’t just survive, it thrived in the toughest of conditions.
The book of Acts tells the story of a group of ordinary people, infused with God’s Spirit, performing extraordinary acts of boldness and radical acts of grace as they carried the message of God’s Kingdom to the rest of the world. As heirs of this great legacy, the book of Acts is truly the story of God’s will accomplished through us, His Church.
