Meghan Daum, an essayist and writer, born ter California ter 1970, recalls te hier article вЂњVirtual LoveвЂќ the progress of an online relationship that ended up jiggling hier world and affecting hier on several levels. The article which appeared te the August 25-September 1, 1997 kwestie of The Fresh Yorker goes after the author’s private encounter with cyberspace relationships. Albeit the relationship originally seemed entertaining to an extent that the author waterput more effort into it than she had waterput te auténtico ones, she completes hier text by indirectly stating that вЂњreality is seldom able to match the expectations raised by intoxication of an idealized cyber romance.вЂќ And spil the readers go after the twists and turns of Daum’s online practice, the latter concludes that online-dating or aparente love infrequently survives the physical world when confronted by its obstacles such spil its tempo, idealization, and mainly expectations.
The title вЂњVirtual LoveвЂќ reflects the contents of the text spil well spil the main idea. Daum has succeeded te choosing a title that defines hier subject, restricts it, spil well spil offers the reader a close scope regarding the topic at arm. The title captures the main key words spil well spil the reader’s attention. Originally, they are capable of inferring the main topic and predicting that the article deals with cyberspace and relationships. Yet, they may wonder whether the text at forearm will argue with or against online-relationships or simply retell the author’s encounters with online-dating.
At the beginning, the readers doubt the author’s credentials due to Daum’s occupation spil a freelancer. But after taking into consideration the fact that this article wasgoed published ter The Fresh Yorker, a well-known tijdschrift, the reader is more accepting regarding Daum’s position and credibility. On the other forearm, the writer only bases hier position regarding online-dating on individual practice. Since Daum fails to refer to researches, statistics, and facts ter order to support hier stand, the reader is skeptical. Due to the fact that the author is not an authority on the subject, and only refers to individual encounters, hier credibility is shaken. And thus, the information introduced doesn’t sound accurate or well backed. Had she referred to other researchers who seem more knowledgeable on the subject, the article would have bot more authentic. Also, Daum’s reference to a individual practice and emotions shoves the reader to wonder whether or not Daum’s judgment regarding the kwestie is affected by hier feelings: вЂњwas the information provided by the author subjected to hier professional assessment or hier private view?вЂќ
Since the concept of supuesto relationships concerns the normal public, Daum addresses this vast audience by hier text. By tackling a well-debated subject, Daum brings more insight to the topic at forearm. Albeit the article is introduced to the public, the writer fails at some point to clearly convey hier message to the reader. For example, the writer uses words that regular readers can’t understand without having to reread the sentence te order to understand the words through setting or even check them out ter a dictionary such words include oxymoron, epistolary among others. The writer indeed should have closely considered hier language spil well spil hier audience to effectively express the message.
It is known that support and evidence determine the success or the failure of the author is achieving his or hier purpose. The author supports hier point of view by using examples from hier individual life. Daum does a good job by recalling several encounters with Pete that suggest the reader an insight into online-relationships. For example, she takes the reader onto a journey portraying several emotional stages which a person might practice. Commencing with vertier, growing affection, addiction, romance and ending with a switch of heart and frustration, Daum portrays to the reader that online-relationships have no chance of survival te the physical world. Yet, by doing so, the author fails to tackle the subject at mitt ter an objective manner. Since all what the reader is suggested is based on hier private practice and feelings, the text tends to be subject to the author’s emotions and less objective. On several occasions, Daum makes assumptions based on hier own observations concerning online-dating which she fails to support which is a defect te hier text.
Yet, one of the assumptions made by Daum that attracts the reader’s attention is one that concerns identity manipulation and molding according to the public’s preference. Daum for example asserts that by stating, вЂњPete knew nothing of my scattered, juvenile self, and I did my best to keep it this way (Daum 1997).вЂќ Not only does the reader appreciate hier honesty but also the reader can relate hier assumption to the text вЂњBoy, You Fight like a GirlвЂќ which is a text discussed earlier ter class. Daum also presents the reader with numerous fragments of hier identity: the Juvenile person within hier frente a the successful writer. By doing so, Daum raises questions concerning identity manipulation, cyberspace, and integrity which indulge the reader ter a debate. Yet, again she fails to capture the readers’ utter support spil she only provides evidence based on hier opinion and private encounters.
The author doesn’t avoid logical fallacies via hier text. Daum makes several hasty generalizations spil she bases hier article on hier private encounters, she assumes that all posible relationships end up with heart pauze and frustration. Te fact, the author forgets that some online relationships end with blessed endings. By excluding this tegenstoot argument, hier text only discusses one side of the punt at forearm, hence, doesn’t go after logical thinking which requires support, arguments and tegenstoot arguments, and credible evidence. Had the author included a toonbank argument, refuted it and not only appealed to the reader’s ethos and pathos, the text would have bot more credible, scientific, and logical.
Daum also uses emotionally loaded words to convey hier message which appeals to the leader’s ethos and pathos but also manipulates his logos. For example, the author refers to the human desire to be love, adored, and desired by others. Since this desire te found ter every person, by referring to such issues the author uses an emotional rather than a logical treatment to tackle the subject. The reader then sympathizes with the author rather than evaluates hier credibility. For example, the writer states, вЂњI desired it, all of it. I wished unfettered affection, soul-mating, true romance (Daum 1997).вЂќ Another example is when the author shows hier frustration and distress at the end of the article by stating that, вЂњOur particular version of intimity now obscured by the branches and figures and falling debris that make up the physical world.вЂќ The reader is intensely impacted by word such spil obscured, debris, affection among others, and feels the author’s contempt and dissatisfaction rather than digging deeper to know the reason behind the relationship’s failure ter the physical world.
Spil a sum up, вЂњVirtual LoveвЂќ a text by Meghan Daum discusses online-relationships based on the author’s individual practice. Through a individual objectief, Daum intrigues the reader with hier individual encounters and concludes that the physical world stands spil an obstacle te pui of online-relationships. The writer spil discussed earlier carries the reader on a journey into hier private life recalling events that ended up leaving several ripples on hier life. Overall, the writer did a good job presenting hier idea and supporting it using private practice, yet fails when restricting hier support to hier encounters. Te the end, the reader is left with questions concerning imaginario love, the physical world, and the ultimate desire to attain happiness.


This book had a gentle, but curious entrance. It was just enough to cause the listener/reader to want to know more, and to dig deeper into the story, to read more, to listen longer.
This draw that the book has continued throughout the book, never dwindled in its appeal or flow. There was a gentle ebb and flow sort of a feel. This ebb and flow is what allowed the book to progress at a comfortable pace and yet not so much that it ever reached a state of boredom.
The story drew on the emotions throughout the book, and especially toward the last half of the book, with a traumatic event occurring with the primary female in the story (Rochelle). This emotional response is an excellent way to retain the attention of the reader. And, that is what it did.
Elijah, as the narrator of the story, was not a perfect character (but then the story would not be interesting if any character was perfect). His imperfection, and how he addressed it within himself, within earshot of the reader, is what helped to make this book raw enough to appeal all the more. It left the reader wanting to know how Elijah (a.k.a. Eli) was going to handle each situation that came his way.
We were not disappointed. Even to the end of the book, the story continued to draw us in further and deeper. We desperately wanted to know how the story ended and could not “put the book down” for fear we would miss the answers to our curiosity. And, even though, for the most part, those questions were answered, there was enough of a question mark left to leave one wanting more and hoping that Ms. Rebekah Dodson provides a sequel to this book… soon.
Oh, a notation about the performance of Mr. Adam Barr in the Audible version. Absolutely superb! He did such a perfect job of representing each character, in what they were saying and how they were saying it. We, as the listeners, were able to get lost in the story and even forget that it was being narrated, feeling as if we were right there. Thank you, Mr. Barr, for such an exceptional performance.
And, thank you, Ms. Dodson, for such an interesting story. We will watch for more…

The Edge of America
The Edge of America
Jon Sealy’s arresting follow-up to The Whiskey Baron takes you into the go-go world of Miami 1984. Stay tuned for this exciting literary thriller, coming to a bookstore near you in September 2019.
1984. Miami. Enter the high-stakes world of South Florida’s drug culture, where a businessman with CIA ties is about to risk it all.
Bobby West is on the edge. As chief financial officer for a Miami holding company and a CIA front, he has overleveraged his business in the go-go 1980s financial culture. He turns to a deal-with-the-devil money laundering operation with a local gangster, Alexander French—a deal which quickly goes south when $3 million goes missing. Now Mr. French, a group of Cuban exiles, and an Israeli smuggler named Adriana Chekhov are all after Bobby West to pay up. With echoes of Iran-Contra and the Orwellian surveillance state, The Edge of America is a stunning thriller about greed, power, and the limits of the American dream.
“In The Edge of America, Jon Sealy thrusts us into the rancid heart of our country in 1984—the greed and unrelenting violence, the spiritual blindness, the domestic ennui. A teenage daughter steals $3 million from her father, who is beholden to everyone except himself. And the characters who surround him are a menagerie of free range sycophants and psychotics, the kind of men and women only a Tolstoy or Dostoevsky have been able to bring to life. But Jon Sealy does it in this astonishing novel, along with the topography, the diction, the textures and smells of Miami, the Keys, and the Appalachian redoubts. Sealy knows everything, no matter who we are, or how we live. By God, get this book and hold on for dear life.”
—Dennis Covington, National Book Award finalist for Salvation on Sand Mountain
“The Edge of America kept me up way too late, but I couldn’t put it down! Set in 1984 South Florida and populated with a multitude of dangerous characters including CIA operatives, Cuban exiles, gangsters, thugs, a gumshoe, an international assassin, drug runners, and a not-so-innocent missing teenage girl, Jon Sealy’s adrenaline-fueled, action packed journey through Miami’s dark underbelly and beyond will keep readers’ hearts racing through its final word and will leave them hungry for Sealy’s next captivating read.”
—Michel Stone, award-winning author of The Iguana Tree and Border Child
“Jon Sealy's The Edge of America whips back and forth at a ferocious pace from the highest reaches of government to the lowliest of henchmen, racing from Miami to Charleston, Amsterdam to New York. No one can be taken at their word, and no one can be trusted in this white knuckle trip through the drug trade and the ripple effect of one bad decision.”
—James Scott, bestselling author of The Kept
Jon Sealy is also the author of The Whiskey Baron. His stories have appeared in numerous magazines, including The South Carolina Review, The Normal School, and The Sun. A native of South Carolina, he lives in Richmond, Virginia. Contact him at his website.


In this chapter, we first trace the history of the concept of ecological niche and see how its meanings varied with the search for a theory of ecology. The niche concept has its roots in the Darwinian view of ecosystems that are structured by struggle for survival and, originally, the niche was perceived as an invariant place within the ecosystem, that would preexist the assembly of the ecosystem. The concept then slipped towards a sense in which the niche, no longer a pre-existing ecosystem structure, eventually became a variable that would in turn have to be explained by the competitive exclusion principle and the coevolution of species. The niche concept used at that time, while more operational from an empirical point of view than the previous one, suffered however from an ill-founded definition. A recent refoundation by Chase & Leibold enabled to overcome some of the definitional difficulties.We then present how, in contemporary ecology, the niche concept is recruited to explain biodiversity and species coexistence patterns. We show how, in parallel, neutralist models, by succeedingly explaining some ecological patterns without resorting to explanations in terms of niche, have questioned the explanatory virtues of the niche concept.In conclusion, it seems that the forunes and misfortunes of the niche concept can be seen as a reflection of the difficulties of ecology to give birth to a theory that would be both predictive and explanatory.

Growing up in a small town in Ohio was an enriching experience. Freedom to roam the neighborhood riding bikes, playing softball and basketball in the backyard, swimming at the local pool, playing board games with neighbors in the summer–school right around the corner. For many years we lived two doors from the library where often we spent hot summer days reading books or selecting books to take home.
During the school year it was homework first then play time. With an active family scattered in different places throughout the day, 6:00PM found us all gathered around the dinner table. Dad came home at 6:00PM. All of us were home by 6:00PM. If we were in the house Mom often rang a bell to remind us that it was time to wash our hands and come to the dinner table. It was around this table that sharing took place about the days events. One thing was clear though we did not tattle on one another or on our classmates: “what happens at home stays at home, what happens at school stays at school”, was the family motto. So conversations were up-lifting, encouraging, building us up as family and therefore building up the wider community. We learned to speak respectfully of others, not tear them down. In many ways our 6:00PM meal time prepared us for the hours and days ahead, strengthening and supporting one another and others.
I remembered our 6:00PM dinners when I read the Gospel of Mark (chapter 14) from the Christian Scriptures. Gathered for celebration the friends found strength in the breaking of the bread and the sharing of wine. What resonated the most however, was the last line of the reading, “Then after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.” There they tested their humanity: tendency towards jealousy, envy, betrayal, struggle for life, decisions about supporting those in need, speaking up or running away, accusing without verifying–all the elements that go into our own human lives were present after that supper. They supported one another around the table which gave them strength to go forth and face the realities of the day. Some were able to withstand the difficult times, others were not.
I am aware that families today struggle to find a common dinner time. Adults too are running this way and that to keep up with the demands of the day. The reading from Mark invites us to realize that strength for the journey and our days–to face what may come and to support one another–is found in community where we place our energies in building up one another and not tearing down. We withhold the stones of torment and open our hands to receive the goodness of others. We face inner and outward struggles all of our lives–we work them out in healthy ways around a table of supportive people who wish to see the good in one another and not throw stones.
We embrace community finding strength to build up one another in care and love.
Blessings and peace

Chinese drama is more social and less concerned with romantic love than is the Sanskrit. Family and country are frequently regarded as of more importance than the individual. In contrast to the Sanskrit, Chinese drama was written for a popular audience, and dramatic performances took place in virtually every village. The history of Chinese literature extends thousands of years, from the earliest recorded dynastic court archives to the mature vernacular fiction novels that arose during the Ming dynasty to entertain the masses of literate Chinese. The introduction of widespread woodblock printing during the Tang dynasty (–) and the invention of movable type printing by Bi Sheng Simplified Chinese: 中国文学.

The History of Modern Chinese Literature is a survey of the major writers of the first half of the twentieth century and their works in the context of the events which transformed Chinese society in that period.
The themes of modern Chinese literature were quite different from those of the classics. The new literature explored such themes as peasants, women and intellectuals, as Format: Paperback. That Year, Time Flew – Jiu Ye Hui (M, OE) One of cloud&sea’s favourite novels but it is kind of sad so I am staying away from it.
For Eddie Peng’s fan, he will star in the movie version. Cinderella’s Dream – Fei Wo Si Cun (M, BE) I watched the drama The Girl in Blue adapted from this book and I am not impressed.
Luo Qing Chuan is a modern woman who loves reading about ancient Chinese history. One day, she is transported back to the Qing Dynasty. Caught in between the love, power, and justice within the palace, how will she survive.
This drama is similar to Bu Bu Jing Xin, but the characters portrayed by the actors and actresses give a different feel.

Whitesburg will be hosting a Scholastic Book Fair next week, Monday, October 21 through Friday, October 25 during school hours.
The book fair will be OPEN LATE on Monday, October 21 during the Fall Festival (6pm – 8pm).
Students have the opportunity to visit the book fair as a class to preview book fair items and to write a wish list that will come home with them. Wish lists are just that, wishes! They give you an opportunity to discuss what your student saw at fair and decide if you’d like to make any purchases. Students generally shop the fair in the second half of the week.
Our teachers also make wish lists! If you’d like to purchase a book to donate to your student’s classroom library, a book fair volunteer can help them make a selection with the money you send in. We’ll also include a “Donated By” inscription, so your student can leave a legacy of being a reader in their classroom.
Speaking of volunteers, parent volunteers play an essential role in a successful book fair. We need Preview Assistants at the beginning of the week to help students write their wish lists, and we need Shopping Assistants at the end of the week to help students make their selections and remain within their budget. Please contact our librarian, Mrs. Wolfe, to volunteer.
When students shop they can use cash, check, or the recently introduced the e-wallet option. There is no tax added to book fair purchases, so cash and checks can be sent in exact amounts. If you’d like to try the eWallet option, you create an account at home and add funds, then your child is able to access those funds when they shop. From the website:
“When you create an eWallet, the amount you select as your student’s spending limit will appear as a temporary hold (or pending charge) on your credit card and will be reflected in your available balance. You will only be charged for what is purchased, and after the book fair ends, the hold will expire and the funds will be released back to your credit card.”
This is a great option if you don’t want your child to bring cash to school.

A RELIGIOIUS LITERATURE IN IRISH.
THE PUBLICATION OF THE MANUSCRIPTS IN THE COLLEGE LIBRARY.
(By the Rev. M. Sheehan, D.D., Ph. D., Maynooth.
Fortunately for us, the materials through which our religious literature may be revived have been considerably amplified by the scribes of the early potion of the last century. That great lover of books, Dr. Murphy, Bishop of Cork, bequeathed to our library his valuable collection of about one hundred manuscript volumes. About one-fourth of them are religious prose works, some of which were printed centuries ago, but are no longer procurable, whilst the remaining three-fourths consist mainly of poetry, religious or secular. The latter must be left out of consideration for the present.
The following are the chief original works on the spiritual life: “Mirror of Penance” by Rev. Hugh McAingil, Professor of Theology, printed in Irish characters at Louvain in 1618, “Paradise of the Soul”, by the Rev. Anthony Gearnon, Franciscan, printed at Louvain and dedicated to the Most Rev. Thomas Fleming, Archbishop of Dublin, “The Spiritual Mirror” compiled by Michael O’Longan.
The following translations are found:- “Think Well On It” by W. Cotter, School Master at Clonmult, Cloyne, 1817; Father Paul Segneri’s “True Wisdom” by John O’Connell, Schoolmaster, 1813; “Trumpet Of Heaven” from the French, by the Rev. Timothy O’Connell, Carmelite Friar; “Emanuel” or “Desiderius” by Father O’Clery, Franciscan, printed at Louvain in 1616. In addition to these there are several lives of Christ and the Saints, including some Irish Saints. Most of these lives are historical, the remainder are legendary or fanciful.

In late 19th century Prosper Meniere described a condition characterized by ear block, tinnitus, and vertigo. He even correctly identified the site of lesion to be labyrinth. It wont be a understatement to say that precious little has been added to the knowledge and understanding of the disorder since then. Prosper Meniere infact lived far ahead of his time. He was born in 1799 in
. In 1848 he began to translate the text book on hearing loss authored by Kramer. The book was written in German. This kindled his interest in otology. France
In his classical seminal reports he goes on to describe a series of patients who presented with neural deafness, with hearing loss greater for low frequencies. Deafness was commonly unilateral in these patients. These patients usually present with tinnitus, vertigo, nausea and vomiting. He reported that these patients had a normal ear drum. He also reported that these symptoms were completely reversible.

Little Heirloom Books: Building Connections with Children Through Reading
“Read good books. Raise good humans. Relish the things that last.” These are the words Little Heirloom Books has fashioned their business around. Co-founders, Camille Close and Meredith Church shared a love for children’s literature and a belief that a high quality book is not always the easiest to find, especially for busy families. They set out to create a monthly book club with handpicked stories, beautiful illustrations and uplifting messages.
The result of their collaboration was Little Heirloom Books; a book club for modern families with minimalist ideals. Choose from one of three subscription types – The Storyteller, The Adventurer or The Enthusiast. Each level adds more curated, quality goods that coordinate with the box’s value-based themes.
However, for Little Heirloom Books, it wasn’t just about the delightful books and objects that went inside the box. Presentation and first impressions mattered to them. We dug deeper into how this special company started, what their design process was and how they select top quality literature.
What inspired you to create a business around children’s books?
Being moms and lifelong readers ourselves, books of all kinds (especially children’s literature) have been a centerpiece of our homes and lives. There’s something about an excellent book that is so powerful: it opens doors to adventure, empathy, trust, courage, and so much more. We’ve been reading to our babies since they were born to share the love!”
“We found that among the books published every year, not all had the quality – both visually and textually – that we wanted to nurse our kids on. Care and deliberation went into choosing children’s books for our own families. We set out to build a box that would align with our values.
C. S. Lewis said, “No book is really worth reading at the age of ten, which is not equally – and often far more – worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond.” And we felt to extend that to include picture books. A good book is a good book for all ages!
Talk about the design process and inspiration for your packaging.
We wanted to reflect our name and company values with our packaging. Little Heirloom Books connotes a product for children that is high quality and will stand the test of time. So we wanted our box to have a little bit of whimsy, a little bit of imperfection, and a handcrafted feeling.
We also wanted the design to be timeless. We picked a cheerful but grounded color and kept the palette minimal for simplicity. On the back of the box, we made it easy for people to find us online and included the logo of Page 158, our partner indie bookstore.
How do you choose which books make it into your box each month?
Every box includes a book published within the previous ninety days. To find the best ones, we sort through hundreds of upcoming titles and to be considered for the box, it has to meet all three of the following criteria:
1. The illustrations must be beautiful. We look for enthralling, detailed art with a lovely color palette that draws in readers of all ages. Children read stories through the pictures first, so the illustrations are fundamental.
2. The story has to be just as stellar as the illustrations. The text needs to flow well, be engaging, and draw readers of all ages along. It has to be a story that children will want to read again and again – AND mom and dad won’t mind a bit.
3. It needs to have an uplifting, positive message. The media children consume (including books) shapes who they become. Let’s bring our children up with words that empower and encourage them! Books are also an excellent tool for opening up critical parent-child conversations. We always include discussion prompts for getting the ball rolling.
Why did you decide to use custom packaging for Little Heirloom Books?
It’s essential to us that our customers feel treated when they receive a box. Not just any box would do. We needed packaging that would reflect our brand: high quality with a clean design. Plus, it needed to stand out from their ordinary mail and packages so they would know at first sight that something exceptional had arrived. Presentation and first impressions matter a great deal, and custom packaging made an excellent first impression possible for us.
What tips would you give someone hoping to start their own e-commerce business?
For us, it goes back to the community again. We have been so impressed with the generosity and kindness of people both on and off the internet! Every time we have reached out to others, we have received helpful, eager, and friendly replies. We love working with the people we have met through this online business! So our tip is to reach out and don’t be shy! People helping people is what it’s all about.
How does your tagline influence your brand decisions? “Read good books. Raise good humans. Relish the things that last.”
Everything that goes into our box focuses on that tagline. We seek out the best books with the most meaningful messages and pair them with the highest quality of children’s goods. Parents get inundated with tips, tricks, standards and expectations about how to be the best for our kids. At the same time, our children are trying to sort through expectations thrown at them. It can be a lot!
We believe that simplifying and stepping into peaceful moments reading with our kids can truly make a difference. It’s in the quiet moments that we make powerful connections between parents and children, between people and ideas, between our hearts and minds.
By giving our children the best of best – in messages, in time, in being fully present and open with one another – we make a difference. We build connections with our children that will last. We raise children who are strong, brave, and kind. We create a better world. Those are the things that matter most, and what Little Heirloom Books is all about.
Thank you to Little Heirloom Books for taking the time to talk with us. If you’re looking for uplifting literature for little ones, check out their subscription book club options.


David and the Dean at the Library of Congress
On a mild Spring evening over one hundred HKS alums and friends from the HKS community in DC gathered in the Members' Room at the Library of Congress to witness David Rubenstein lead a fireside chat with HKS Dean Douglas Elmendorf.
The two pillars of the HKS community covered everything from the history of the Library of Congress, the Congressional budget, the role of Dean, the current and future state of the Kennedy School, and the high points and challenges so far of the Dean's time in charge.
This event was coordinated and hosted by Amy Davies, Senior Director of Alumni Relations at HKS, with a fantastic team who made the journey down from Cambridge. The evening was made possible through the generosity of David M. Rubenstein, Co-founder and Co-CEO, The Carlyle Group; Chair, Campaign for Harvard Kennedy School; Co-chair, Harvard Campaign; Fellow, President and Fellows of Harvard College (beginning July 2017).

A Short Biography of Robert E. Howard by Rusty Burke Robert Ervin Howard ranks among the greatest writers of action and adventure stories. It has helped keep his work in the public eye for six decades since his death, but it has also obscured the astonishing breadth of his imagination, his talent for mastering a variety of genres and his ability to weave his magic in both prose and poetry.
A poetic accomplishment of quite another order is that of John Dryden. He was 29 years old when Charles II returned from exile, and little writing by him survives from before that date.
However, for the remaining 40 years of his life, he was… Youth and education The son of a country gentleman, Dryden grew up in the country. When he was 11 years old the Civil War broke out. About Dryden was admitted to Westminster Schoolwhere he received a predominantly classical education under the celebrated Richard Busby.
His easy and lifelong familiarity with classical literature begun at Westminster later resulted in idiomatic English translations.
In he entered Trinity College, Cambridge, where he took his B. What Dryden did between leaving the university in and the Restoration of Charles II in is not known with certainty.
In his contribution to a memorial volume for Oliver Cromwell marked him as a poet worth watching. This kind of public poetry was always one of the things Dryden did best.
When in May Charles II was restored to the throne, Dryden joined the poets of the day in welcoming him, publishing in June Astraea Reduxa poem of more than lines in rhymed couplets. For the coronation inhe wrote To His Sacred Majesty.
These two poems were designed to dignify and strengthen the monarchy and to how to write a short author biography john the young monarch with an aura of majesty, permanence, and even divinity.
In due course she bore him three sons. In this work Dryden was once again gilding the royal image and reinforcing the concept of a loyal nation united under the best of kings. It was hardly surprising that when the poet laureateSir William Davenantdied inDryden was appointed poet laureate in his place and two years later was appointed royal historiographer.
Writing for the stage Soon after his restoration to the throne inCharles II granted two patents for theatres, which had been closed by the Puritans in Dryden soon joined the little band of dramatists who were writing new plays for the revived English theatre.
His first playThe Wild Gallant, a farcical comedy with some strokes of humour and a good deal of licentious dialoguewas produced in It was a comparative failure, but in January he had some share in the success of The Indian Queena heroic tragedy in rhymed couplets in which he had collaborated with Sir Robert Howardhis brother-in-law.
Dryden was soon to successfully exploit this new and popular genrewith its conflicts between love and honour and its lovely heroines before whose charms the blustering heroes sank down in awed submission. In the spring of Dryden had his own first outstanding success with The Indian Emperour, a play that was a sequel to The Indian Queen.
In Dryden had another remarkable hit with a tragicomedy, Secret Love, or the Maiden Queen, which appealed particularly to the king. In Dryden published Of Dramatick Poesie, an Essaya leisurely discussion between four contemporary writers of whom Dryden as Neander is one.
This work is a defense of English drama against the champions of both ancient Classical drama and the Neoclassical French theatre; it is also an attempt to discover general principles of dramatic criticism.
By deploying his disputants so as to break down the conventional oppositions of ancient and modern, French and English, Elizabethan and Restoration, Dryden deepens and complicates the discussion. This is the first substantial piece of modern dramatic criticism; it is sensible, judicious, and exploratory and combines general principles and analysis in a gracefully informal style.
The prefaces to his plays and translations over the next three decades were to constitute a substantial body of critical writing and reflection.
Although Dryden averaged only a play a year, the contract apparently was mutually profitable. In June he gave the company Tyrannick Love, with its blustering and blaspheming hero Maximin. In December of the next year came the first part of The Conquest of Granada by the Spaniards, followed by the second part about a month later.
All three plays were highly successful; and in the character Almanzor, the intrepid hero of The Conquest of Granada, the theme of love and honour reached its climax. But the vein had now been almost worked out, as seen in the production of that witty burlesque of heroic drama The Rehearsal, by George Villiers, 2nd duke of Buckingham, in which Dryden Mr.
Bayes was the main satirical victim. The Rehearsal did not kill the heroic play, however; as late as NovemberDryden staged his last and most intelligent example of the genre, Aureng-Zebe.
In this play he abandoned the use of rhymed couplets for that of blank verse.
In writing those heroic plays, Dryden had been catering to an audience that was prepared to be stunned into admiration by drums and trumpets, rant and extravagance, stage battles, rich costumes, and exotic scenes.Anderson, Kevin.

Zimbalist struggled for the next hour to understand that move, and for the strength to resist confiding to a ten-year-old whose universe was bounded by the study house, the shul, and the door to his mother's kitchen, the sorrow and dark rapture of Zimbalist's love for the dying widow, how some secret thirst of his own was quenched every time he dribbled cool water through her peeling lips. They played through the remainder of their hour without further conversation. But when it was time for the boy to go, he turned in the doorway of the shop on Ringelblum Avenue and took hold of Zimbalist's sleeve.
I couldn't resist rendering the first sentence in bold. This is why I love Agamben, and this is also why I actually have a good idea for my dissertation.
For the one who knows, it is felt as an impossibility of speaking; for the one who speaks it is experienced as an equally bitter impossibility to know. [new paragraph] In 1928, Ludwig Binswanger published a study bearing the significant title The Vital Function and Internal History of Life. Introducing into psychiatric terminology a phenomenological vocabulary that is still imprecise, Binswanger deelops the idea of a fundamental heterogeneity between the plane of the physical and psychical vital functions that take place in an organism and in personal consciousness, in which the lived experiences of an individual are organized into an inner unitary history.


Julian Gresser’s lyrical autobiography How the Leopard Changed Its Spots tells the tells the story of the author’s remarkable discoveries concerning Love, Beauty, Vitality, Wisdom, and Synchronicity derived from his training with grandmasters in Zen, qigong, and martial arts in Japan and the West. It also describes his current work as a public interest international and environmental lawyer through the organization he cofounded, the Broadband International Legal Action Network. BBILAN is dedicated to restoring reasonable balance and sanity in challenging an industrial Wireless Juggernaut that is endangering the lives of millions of people around the world by enmeshing the Earth, Heavens, and Oceans in a network of radiation emitting surveillance devices.
Julian Gresser is an international attorney, professional negotiator, inventor, and recognized expert on Japan. He has been twice Visiting Mitsubishi Professor of Japanese law at the Harvard Law School (1976, 1981), a visiting professor at MIT, Doshisha University (Kyoto), and Beijing University, and as well as a senior consultant to the U.S. State Department, World Bank, Prime Minister’s Office of Japan, People’s Republic of China, and European Commission (where he trained the Commission’s Japanese negotiating teams). He is the author of eight books in English and Japanese, including: Environmental Law in Japan (MIT Press, 1981), Partners in Prosperity: Strategic Industries for the U.S. and Japan (McGraw Hill, 1984;( in Japanese, Cho Hanei Sengen), Piloting Through Chaos: Wise Leadership/Effective Negotiation for the 21st Century, (in Japanese, Ishi Kettei Isutsu no Hosoku–Koshodo no Gokui), Piloting Through Chaos—The Explorer’s Mind (2013), Laughing Heart—A Field Guide to Exuberant Vitality for All Ages—10 Essential Moves; Integral Resilience—Helping Communities Thrive, and 5 Minutes to Resilience, in addition to numerous articles on technology, economics and law.
In 2019 Julian Gresser returned to the practice of international, environmental, and public interest law, and is today among a few attorneys in the world who are challenging the onslaught of radiation emitting wireless devices and the invasion of the Heavens by hundreds of low orbiting non-geostationary satellites.


Neither of the two popular compression image formats, not Erdas’ ecw nor Lizard Tech’s mrsid are open sourced. Both companies have made significant gestures towards the FOSS community by releasing their code with licenses allowing non-commercial use. However an open source project still cannot distribute libraries which are based on these proprietary SDKs.
A FOSS GIS user, who wants access to ecw compressed imagery has to waltz thru some special steps to get this functionality compiled into his software stack. The crucial library and toolkit in this stack is GDAL, the “Geospatial Data Abstraction Library” which does the data conversions for many FOSS GIS projects. Once you have GDAL compiled with support for ecw (and/or mrsid) the other GIS software which depends on GDAL will be able to display ecw compressed files.
We’ll outline the steps needed to get support for the popular webmapping server “mapserver” on a CentOS 5 installation.
Dependancies available from yum
First we add from the regular yum repository, and from rpmforge several required binary packages:
proj-4.5.0 (from rpmforge repo)
proj-4.5.0-devel (from rpmforge repo)
postgresql-pl-8.1.11 gd-2.0.33 gd-devel-2.0.33 php-devel-5.1.6 php-gd-5.1.6 agg-2.5 (use the rpm from rpmforge) agg-devel-2.5 (again use the rpmforge package)
Now we download the source packages we’ll need: From the Erdas website download the ECW JPEG2000 Codec SDK Source Code. This requires registering and logging into their site. Next get the source code for GDAL 1.6.0 from OSGeo. And go to the Mapserver.org site to get the source for mapserver (I used version 5.4.0). Untar/unzip the packages in a directory of your choice.
First compile the ecw library by:
Next change into the gdal source directory, and run
./configure --with-pg=/usr/bin/pg_config --with-ecw=/usr/local --with-sqlite
This compiles GDAL with support for many well know geospatial formats as well as PostGIS spatial layers, ecw, and sqlite (The spatialite project, based on the sqlite database has gained a lot of good publicity lately and is quickly becoming an accepted vector format, so it’s worth getting sqlite compiled in also). Of course, if you’ve got additional libraries, add any other –with-xxx that you need to the configure line. Now run
The default location for the gdal libraries is /usr/local/lib. In order for mapserver to find those libraries I add a file: /etc/ld.so.conf.d/gdal_1.6.0.conf which contains:
cat gdal_1.6.0.conf /usr/local/lib
Then I run:
To make sure that the ecw is indeed supported, try:
gdalinfo --formats | grep -i ecw ECW (rw): ERMapper Compressed Wavelets JP2ECW (rw+): ERMapper JPEG2000
Now go into the mapserver source directory. Here’s my configure line :
./configure --with-geos=/usr/bin/geos-config \
--with-agg --with-freetype \
--with-proj=/usr --with-wfs \ --with-gd=/usr \ --with-php=/usr/include/php \ --with-pdf
- –with-fribidi is for Right To Left text labels
- –withpdf assumes you have installed the pdflib-lite library
- –with-php compiles mapserver with php-mapscript support
- –with-proj should point to /usr – NOT a subdir
See the mapserver documentation for more compile options. Then we run
to build the mapserv program (there’s no “make install” step).
Now we simply copy the resulting mapserv executable into apache’s cgi-bin directory, and copy the php_mapscript.so into /usr/lib64/php/modules/ (the system’s php extensions directory defined in /etc/php.ini) and we’re ready to begin creating web maps. The place to start is An Introduction to Mapserver

American Author Harper Lee, Whose Novel Changed Lives, Dies at 89
Influential author Nelle Harper Lee, whose novel To Kill A Mockingbird won the Pulitzer Prize in 1961, has died at the age of 89.
A relative said Lee died in her sleep at the Meadows, an assisted living facility in Monroeville, Alabama—the same town in which she was born in 1926.

“This is a sad day for our family. America and the world knew Harper Lee as one of the last century’s most beloved authors,” Hank Conner, Lee’s nephew and a spokesman for the family, said in a statement Friday morning. “We knew her as Nelle Harper Lee, a loving member of our family, a devoted friend to the many good people who touched her life, and a generous soul in our community and our state. We will miss her dearly.”
To Kill A Mockingbird “needs no introduction — because it is the introduction, for most American children, to civil rights, literature, and the justice system,” Boris Kachka wrote for Vulture in 2014. The book accumulated countless accolades over the years; in 2006, the Guardian noted, “British librarians
The novel’s huge success combined with a popular 1962 film adaptation—which Lee herself considered a triumph—turned the characters of Scout and Atticus Finch, Boo Radley, and Calpurnia into household names.
Lee, on the other hand, was more inscrutable. As the LA Times writes, “fame and its burdens overwhelmed Harper Lee, who wrote one masterpiece, then shut the door on an adoring public. She had hoped for modest approval of her debut work ‘but I got rather a whole lot,’ she once said, ‘and in some ways this was just about as frightening’.”

If you’re a person of color, by now you’ve probably gotten used to the idea that there isn’t a place for someone like you in western storytelling. The business gets stickier when you get to stories about regular people in Europe, or times like the Middle Ages. You may have walked around in a museum, only to see white bodies and white faces reflected in every piece. Though there are still exceptions to the rule, you may have completely written off high fantasy or historical fiction as genres where you can see characters who reflect you, because the entire genre stems from this historical source material filled with whiteness.
Well, we have been lied to.
People of color have been knights, saints, ladies, lords, and everything in between. American education, meet People of Color in European Art History.
Those who control our knowledge of history also control our present, and putting resources and knowledge back into the hands of those most affected by the misinformation and misrepresentation codified into the U.S. education system is a large part of the purpose in curating this blog.
People of Color in European Art History’s mission statement is to reveal and discuss a long unacknowledged history. Its mission statement pulls a quote from William Loren Katz, a historian, and author of several books on African American history.
Those who assume that a people have no history worth mentioning are likely to believe they have no humanity worth defending. -Black Indians: A Hidden Heritage, William Loren Katz. (p. 10)
Most people have the misconception that people of color did not exist in Europe before the Enlightenment, and the blog exists to provide a counter-narrative to that misconception. Besides showing you incredible art that you may have not seen before, and giving you background information and historical context that trumps any textbook, the author also discusses the longstanding practice of cropping people of color out of of art, and erasing them from history in the first place, and creating further misrepresentation. The blog asks us to examine how we tell our stories and portray people. Who do we think of as important, and who do we ignore?
A tertiary effect of showcasing these works is to provide a vehicle for correcting assumptions that works of fantasy based in “re-imagined” worlds of Medieval or Renaissance Europe that omit the contributions and presence of People of Color are made with “historical accuracy” in mind. In fact, the opposite is often the case.
The author posts high quality images, promotes interesting discussion, and cleverly organizes each piece on a timeline that can be found on the sidebar. You can read more of this blog here.


Just a brief update to let you know that the stickers, postcards, beach towels, t-shirts, posters, original artwork, and lunchboxes are all now in our studios and ready to begin fulfillment. The only thing we’re waiting for now are the books themselves! API, our American printer, has informed us that the soonest they’ll be able to begin printing is on April 30th. It’s currently school annual season, which they do a ton of, so we fall just after that assignment. We expect to begin fulfillment in earnest by the 2nd week of May.
Anyone who only ordered non-autographed books (physical or digital) will see their orders fulfilled first. Followed by our retailers, and then followed by the beach party bundles with autographed copies. Mike and Chris will meet in an undisclosed location so Mike can autograph those items that 2nd weekend in May. Afterwards, all the remaining books will be shipped.
Speaking of the books, we’ve opted to upgrade the book binding to smythe sewn, so that you receive a library quality graphic novel that is constructed to last. Smythe sewn refers to the centuries old book binding technique and books that use it are durable and made to be handled a lot and open flat. So now you can lend the book to a friend without worrying about them trashing it… maybe. Depends on your friends I guess.

CHAPTER 3: Guitars for Wine
Accepted business practices in the early days of Martin's retail and manufacturing operation were far removed from today's methods and reflected a simpler society. Barter was common in the retail trade. C. F. Martin's personal records contain numerous entries of trading musical merchandise for everything from a case of wine to children's clothing. New York City's teeming Lower East Side was a harsh environment that was a world apart from the pastoral Saxony where Martin and his family grew up. Correspondence between Martin and his close friend and business associate, Henry Schatz, revealed that he never felt truly at home in New York and longed to move. In 1836, Schatz moved to the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, purchasing a 55-acre tract near Nazareth. When C. F. Martin's wife paid a visit to Schatz and his family, she developed an instant affinity for the tranquil Pennsylvania countryside. Upon returning to New York, she exerted what must have been considerable influence and prompted her husband to make the big move to Nazareth. Thus, in 1838, Martin sold his retail store to another music dealer by the name of Ludecus and Wolter and purchased an eight-acre tract on the outskirts of Nazareth. He had obviously found what he wanted, for he spent the remainder of his life there.
The following years were a period of significant development for C. F. Martin and Company guitar makers. In addition to products sold by Ludecus and Wolter in New York, company records indicate that numerous shipments were made to the then centers of trade, which were primarily shipping posts and those cities served by the canal system, since the railroad had yet to evolve. Martin's shipping records made frequent mention of sales in Boston, Albany, Philadelphia, Richmond, Petersburg, Nashville, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and New Orleans. Business in the period was obviously satisfactory, for in an advertisement in 1850 the company declared, "C. F. Martin, Guitar Maker, respectfully informs the musical public generally that the great favor bestowed upon him has induced him to enlarge his factory, in order to supply the increasing demand for his instruments."


My grandmother gave me this Fendi Zucca-print wallet when I was in 2nd year college. I really like it because it is big enough to keep my allowance, some photos, cards and important receipts neatly in place. My days with this wallet did not last, though. I went to the library to check-out some books and accidentally left it somewhere between shelves. I tried to look for it but all my efforts proved futile.
This is available at Net-A-Porter for $490.

The envoys met every morning in the conference hall of the navy yard and after a simple greeting set to work. Witte and Komura were invariably the negotiators, the two ambassadors, Rosen and Takahira, sinking for the time being into persons of secondary importance. Komura and Witte were, therefore, the heroes of the drama. -- E. J. Dillon, "Sergius Witte and Jutaro Komura," Harper's Weekly.
August 9, Wednesday: Negotiations Begin
The parties met in formal session for the first time in the naval stores building at the Navy Yard on Wednesday, August 9. Only the two chief plenipotentiaries for each side attended the meeting, which was held primarily to exchange credentials. They decided to meet daily at 9:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. with each meeting scheduled to last about three hours. The Japanese insisted that only the chief envoys, their secretaries, and interpreters would attend the sessions and that other delegates would be called only when special points were to be discussed.
It was also agreed that the Russians would use French and the Japanese English for discussions with the final treaty to be written in both languages, however, the French version would be used to settle differences in interpretation. On a more serious question, the Russians wanted open discussions in the belief that the expected harsh Japanese demands would gain sympathy for Russia if publicized. The Japanese again demanded secrecy and won their point. Witte, however, often discussed or leaked aspects of the negotiations to newsmen.
As the negotiations progressed, the parties often issued a joint news release but it rarely provided much information of subsistence. With little other news to report, the local Portsmouth Herald was particularly interested in the public approach taken by the Russians and Japanese. On the evening when the delegations arrived, the Herald commented, “The envoys are evidently imbued with the democratic spirit of America. On Tuesday evening, they mingled with the guests at the Wentworth apparently unconscious of the fact that the eyes of all observers were upon them. The Japanese strolled up and down the verandas and the Russians passed some time in the ladies' billiard parlor."
Of the more than one hundred special journalists on hand for the conference, William Dean Howells, who summered at Kittery Point, was the dean. He described the numerous "summer girls" who were very much in evidence at the hotel. "It is said," he wrote, "that those young ladies leave the peace commissioners with very little peace, and that what with the heat, and what with the mosquitoes of the past week -- But why repeat the idle gossip of which the daily press has already been too full? It is not credible that the summer girls will seriously retard the negotiations at the Kittery [sic] Navy yard and there is no reason why they should not amuse the leisure of the commissioners at the hotel; and if these carry away with them to their distant homes a rather bewildering ideal of American girlhood, it will not be the fault of the American girl, because she is never at fault."


Manuals and Course Material
The ETT-101 Laboratory Manuals (Volumes 1 and 2) provide a turn-key solution for the teacher and student alike.
The manuals are specially written to guide students through hands-on experiments and help them grasp the fundamental concepts of telecommunications. Each chapter includes background information which relates the experiment content to real-world applications.
Since telecommunications text books represent the math and concepts of telecommunications theory as 'block diagrams', the '101' Lab Manuals make extensive use of block diagrams throughout. Associated with each block diagram are detailed, step-by-step patching diagrams. Each chapter is carefully paced and constant use is made of questions to verify the student's understanding and provide feedback to the teacher.
The ETT-101 User Manual contains brief descriptions of each block function on the unit, its specifications and operating instructions. Students only need refer to this manual upon beginning a course, after which time using the system becomes easy and intuitive.
