It's been a month, I know. I'm super sorry because life is just hard right now. Anyways, let's not dwell on the past and acknowledge that I actually posted something in May, shall we? it may have been posted on one of the very last days of May, but whatever.
The starred books in this post are:
Author: Sarah Ockler
Rating: 4 stars
This is the typical "stay away from this boy" cliché, but so much better. Jude has been told to refrain from falling in love with the Vargas boys. They may bring love, but it shall only result in heartbreak. She even swore an oath on a book (the entire ritual and everything). But when all her sisters are gone and she's in dire need of a someone to help restore a motorcycle, this mechanic just so happens to be a Vargas. What will happen when the one person you've been told to stay away from is coincidentally the one
person you need?
This may seem like the ultimate-cliché book, but Sarah Ockler dives deep into bigger concepts of things you may never even thought of before. Told from the view of girl who just wants to bring her dad back to the way he was before, it's captivating and it's an aspect of life that many people can relate to. An obvious 4-star book for me.
Sarah's characters have been well-sculpted and developed. Everyone connected to each other yet were polar opposites at the same time. The concept of this book was greatly created and was also brought out perfectly. I totally recommend it to people dealing with mental diseases or anyone just interested in a cute, lovable book.
Author: Rebecca Serle
Rating: 5 stars
Similar to Not In The Script, this book shows the ups and downs of living the Hollywood life. Paige Townsen is torn from her mediocre life and is pulled into the world of paparazzi and controversies. Starring in a new movie, she meets Rainer Devon and Jordan Wilder. Her crazy status is about to get a whole lot crazier.
Paige Townsen was a relatable character, a small-town girl living out her dreams. She is put into an entire life of fame and fortune. Everyone who has been through new experiences and escapades can totally relate to Paige, the odd one out in a set of experts and professionals.
An outstanding 5 stars was what I gave this book on Goodreads. 5 stars for me means that the book was fantastic and I would definitely read it again (if I ever have the time). Predictable yet unsuspecting, Rebecca Serle tugs on your heartstrings with these characters and its plot, surprising everyone with its conclusion.
I was initially going to post my review for The Promise of Amazing by Robin Constantine but I didn't get the chance to yet, so to hurry up the posting process, I completely disregarded it for this one. Don't worry, it'll appear in my next post. Whenever that will be.
That's all for my post, and remember: you should be a tree; they have awesome afterlives.


Book: Insect Media. An Archaeology of Animals and Technology. Jussi Parikka. University of Minnesota Press,2010
In our final installment dedicated to Jussa Parrika‘s book, two excerpts showing how the internet and media are extensions of animality, rather than of our humanity:
Genesis of Form: Insect Architecture and Swarms
From chapter II:
“Social insects provided lessons in strange, unrecognized forms of being social. A good example is found in Maeterlinck’s novel A Life of the Bee (1901), in which the topic of “the spirit of the hive” is constantly brought up. It could be seen as an expression of mysticism, a natural theology of a kind, but at the same time it connects to the topic of collective intelligence then emerging. Maeterlinck considered this spirit not as a particularly tuned instinct that specifies a task and not as a mechanical habit but as a curious logic that cannot be pinpointed to any specific role, order, or function. The spirit of the hive seems to be responsible for the abrupt but still recurring collective actions that take hold of the bees (as in possessed individuals) and concert their actions as if they were one. The spirit of the hive sees that the individual bees’ actions are harmonized to such an extent that they can exist as a collective: from the queen’s impregnation to the sudden swarming when the bees leave the old nest (without apparent reason) and find a new one, the spirit of the hive is described by a mix of nomadic intuition that “passes the limits of human morality” to the everyday organization of the hive:
It regulates the workers’ labors, with due regard to their age; it allots their task to the nurses who tend the nymphs and the larvae, the ladies of honor who wait on the queen and never allow her out of their sight; the house-bees who air, refresh and heat the hive by fanning their wings, and hasten the evaporation of the honey that may be too highly charged with water; the architects, masons, wax-workers, and sculptors who form the chain and construct the combs; the foragers who sally forth to the flowers in search of the nectar that turns into honey.
This seemingly automated behavior is described by Maeterlinck as a “strange emotion.” Here the emotion acts as a trigger of a kind that points to the way bodies are affectively coordinated in the organizational form. The swarm is a becoming that expresses potentialities that are always situated and yet moving. The affects that trigger the swarming and the birth of the new collective are related to communication in Maeterlinck’s view. This mode of communication happens not on the level of consciousness, human language and concepts, but as affects of murmur, whisper, and a refrain that even the bees might not hear but sense in some uncanny way.

Report on Religious Heritage
The Québec Religious Heritage Council offers a series of reports on religious heritage, "L'état du patrimoine religieux", with a view to looking into an issue or a major aspect of religious heritage protection or enhancement. Fueled by research, studies, and surveys by the Québec Religious Heritage Council, this series provides information on changing churches, namely those that have been closed, sold, or converted to new uses.
All of the reports are available in PDF format. Download Adobe Reader (free)
Municipalities and the Future of Churches : A Necessary Involvement
The Québec Religious Heritage Council presents another facet of the current situation of changing churches based on an extensive survey across Quebec.
This document describes the commitment of municipalities to religious heritage matters, particularly at a time when churches are increasingly being closed, put up for sale, and converted to other uses. The aim is to highlight the different ways in which cities and towns get involved in what appears to be a local development issue.
Reuse of Heritage Churches . How to Plan the Change of Use in a Heritage Context?
Here's a guide on how to plan reuse of a church while respecting its heritage significance. After studying some recently completed projects in Quebec, we offer you some ways to integrate the heritage values into a project and facilitate decision making.
This guide provides tips and qualitative criteria to assess the heritage impact of a transformation project and take advantage of the added value of these exceptional buildings .
What Is Happening to Our Changing Churches?
Nearly ten years after completion of the vast inventory of places of worship in Quebec, the question of the status of churches and chapels is acute: what is happening to this religious heritage increasingly abandoned by the cult?
In this document, the Québec Religious Heritage Council has made a provisional assessment of the situation, which for the first time provides a comprehensive overview of the situation in Quebec.


(En)tangled Word Bank
This is a collaborative project between myself and Greg McInerny while he was at Microsoft Research. We have worked together (Greg doing all the programming and gathering of data, and both of us working together on the visual aspect) to visualise the insertions/deletions of text through the six editions of The Origin of Species, by Charles Darwin.
Each diagram represents an edition of The Origin of Species, and is modelled on the 'literary organism' structure used for On the Road, by Jack Kerouac. Within the diagram, chapters are divided into subchapters as in Darwin's original text, and these subchapters are divided into paragraph 'leaves'. The small wedge-shaped 'leaflets' represent sentences. Each sentence is coloured according to whether the sentence will survive to the next edition (blue) or whether it will be deleted and not be within the next edition (orange).
For our exhibition at the Darwin Anniversary Festival at the University of Cambridge, we created 6 large banners at about 1.5m wide by 2.5m high. The six banners depicted a specimen plate for each edition, as if pulled from a book of botanical illustrations. Each plate shows both the original diagram, first and last chapter 'clippings' from the original diagram, and four diagrams along the bottom where each main edition plant was stretched and positioned to more easily show the chapters, subchapters, paragraphs, and sentences in each edition.
Many thanks to darwin-online.org.uk for the use of their electronic texts.
This project was exhibited as part of the MoMA's (NY) exhibition Talk to Me.

Throughout history, many Africans expressed and physically showed the hardships they faced through slave trade. They endured labor-intensive work in plantations and also worked for other people. These struggles have been documented through pictures and works of literature that attempt to make it to the surface of the untold truth. After countless of suffering and being overlooked for more than 300 years, these voices have been heard in 17th century digital archives and published texts by the 18th century poet Phillis Wheatley.
The New York Public Library archive “Forcing Captives To Dance” shows how slaves were used as mockery and entertainment. They traveled on sea, while the rest were on the bottom of the ship experiencing horrid conditions. Before men boarded the ship, they were examined to determine if they would be able to endure the hard labor that was ahead of them. Slave owners treated these innocent individuals horribly, and slaves would get ridiculed as a form of amusement. Slaves were not taken seriously because to the owners they were only good for work and entertainment. They were not seen as human but as property. They were sold for money, they were sold for land, and they were also sold into families that were not of their own. In the hands of slave owners these individuals lives were worth scraps. The fact that they were being “forced” to dance is shown in their facial expressions. Conditions on board for slave ships were atrocious. If these individuals did not agree to dance they would be whipped and experienced all kinds of punishments like being tied in shackles, placed in various contraptions and also being hung left to die. Surviving the long and challenging voyage depended on luck and for some, or divine providence.
Phillis Wheatley’s poem “On being brought from AFRICA to AMERICA” speaks to slaves that went through the similar situations. Her poem is a disguise and a quietly stated complaint against the evils of slavery. The majority of slaves were religious, believed in God, sought him and Christianity for relief with the hardships that they faced in this journey. Her poem highlights, “‘TWAS mercy brought me from my Pagan land,” (1). This discourse shows how she was brought from her home land being brought from Africa to America and that mercy that brought her to America was from God. Wheatley has learned whom God is and is aware of the life through Christ on Earth and is now saved, having no prior knowledge or need of the redemption of her soul. Wheatley thought that from leaving her pagan land she would experience wonderful things. Her poem reflects the idea of Calvinism, and the knowledge that she is aware of including a predestination that there’s a God with a specific plan for everything. Wheatley expresses, “’Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land, Taught my benighted soul to understand that there’s a God, that there’s a Saviour too” (3). Wheatley saw redemption through her Christianity. She was aware that other slaves were on the same journey that she experienced, she warned the rest telling them to stick to their religion and God before joining the “angelic” train. The journey these slaves endured was evil. By joining the Christian faith anyone could be saved. A puzzled mind and a deep hurt in my heart lingers for the lives of those who were lost in this voyage. For the voices that were never heard when they longed for help. For every single tear that hit that wood floor on that ship. The cries that were heard but ignored. They could not move being stuck, sweaty, and fatigued. Those who were ridiculed, were the joke of the century. These tortured souls could not tell the difference between day and night. The positions were uncomfortable all were sleep deprived. The owners who sold these slaves didn’t have sympathy nor any empathy that these people had hope and dreams. They had families back in their pagan land. Even though they knew that they were going on a voyage, they did not know that they were going to experience hell. Even if they did go through horrific times, they sought for relief once coming off this journey by finding redemption through Christ and the images in their head they had of their pagan land. Their stories will forever be alive in our minds.

Lauren Sebastian's Story
Born in London, Lauren spent the majority of her childhood growing up in a large 'tribe' of gorgeous souls by the seaside in Kent, UK. She later found her spiritual home with soulmate Graham in the wild, sandy, magical gloriousness of Cornwall.
After spending several years 'enjoying the fruits' of Andalucia in spain <<< Lauren creating artwork inspired by the awesome beauty there; and Graham learning the art of flamenco and classical guitar making in the Granada style from Master Luthier, Stephen Hill >>> they eventually returned to beautiful 'Kernow' with some big plans to bring to life!
The adventure continued in the uk; they opened an Emes Guitars workshop and The Art of Lauren studio in bustling St Ives, Cornwall (both established in Winter 2015). Exciting times ensued, not least including the arrival of their beautiful daughter in 2017! life has since settled and expanded further because they bought a lovely old cottage and relocated to Voguebeloth, Illogan. Lauren and Graham took the plunge and also built a brand new, shared, custom workshop on Hillcrest farm behind their home for Emes Guitars and The Art of Lauren called HUMMINGBIRD HOUSE. It is a dream come true for the dynamic duo and their little girl, to be once again working side by side, creating wonderful guitars, ukuleles and art. Follow the magic here and on social media...
Having gained a BA Fine Art Degree in 2000, Lauren went on to work in the UK Public, Education and Creative & Cultural Sectors. In the early days, she went from Arts Assistant for Library Galleries to Learning & Creativity Officer (associated with Creative Partnerships Kent) to Co-Director and Head of Programmes & Development at Future Creative (Community Interest Company). The winding path of delving deeply into the nature of learning, creativity and well-being definitely informed Lauren's interest in what it means to be authentically happy and true-to-ones-self. After re-evaluating her core priorities, ethics, hopes and dreams, she came to realise it was time to honour her personal inner calling and somehow integrate everything she had learned.
In summer 2009, Lauren and Graham took a leap of faith and fully pursued their creative dreams. Each and every one of us deserves to explore our innate creativity and take courageous, heart-centred steps into the realm of possibility.

This paper seeks to explain how constructivism addresses career as narrative. First, the narrative approach to career is briefly contrasted with traditional ones. Next, the theory of narrative is outlined, and some of the relevance of narrative for understanding career is presented. The notion of constructivism is then discussed from the perspective of showing that it seems to be an adequate means for conceptualizing narrative. Following this discussion, the author illustrates the contribution that constructivism, via narrative, brings to career theory, research, and practice. He concludes with the presentation of some perspectives regarding the constructivist/narrative approach in each of these areas.

This special comic book is a tribute of his life and accompaniments he made to the world of music.
“Mercury’s story is a fascinating one, from his birth in Zanzibar, being forced to flee his homeland at an early age to his rise to Rock Royalty in the U K and then onto global conquest. His work has gone on to inspire generations of musicians. He will always be remembered as one of the greatest performers in music history and it was an honor to have worked on this biography”, said writer Mike Lynch.

The Daily Druid Workshop on Practical Druidry
In this time of crumbling economies, religions, politics, climate change, and apparent Earth upheaval, the wisdom of Druidry is sorely needed. The Daily Druid Workshop by Carol Calvert explores the timeless tradition of the Druid teachings. The ancient wisdom of these teachings can help one live each day in harmony with the natural world, and with all life, both seen and unseen.
Druidry is a spiritual path without dogma, which encompasses many belief systems, including both monotheism and polytheism. As a spiritual path, the fundamental belief that Druids share is that life is a spiritual journey traveled by all life forms. The basic philosophy of Druidism is one of love and respect for all life, human, animal and plant. The practical application of this philosophy to everyday living is the basis of The Daily Druid Workshop.
Through this journey, the novice learns to listen to and understand nature, revealing the wisdom of natural law. This understanding leads to finding one's true place within the context of all life, bringing balance and harmony.
Carol Calvert is a Priest with the Church of Antioch in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and a Practicing Druid, having studied for many years with The Order of Ovates, Bards and Druids out of London, England.
Carol is also a singer/harper and composer, and has recently published a Celtic spiritual adventure novel entitled Beithas Sound, available through Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Collected Works Bookstore in Santa Fe.
The Daily Druid Workshop Curriculum
The Daily Druid Workshop familiarizes the student with the laws of nature and methods of living in harmony with natural laws, as well as the use of various spiritual tools. This includes:
||The power of nature and the forces of the elements
Living seasonally, and in harmony with the environment
Tools for Divination and Centering:
Scrying (gazing into a reflective surface such as water)
The augury, (a form of divination based on observation of the natural world)
Cards or Runes
Making and using a wand
Connecting with your personal creativity for healing!
Learning the Wisdom of:
Plants (herbal wisdom and healing)
(discovering your own animal guide/guides)
The Daily Druid
Course Fee: $50.00
A Daily Druid Workshop Testimonials
The Druid Workshop was absolutely wonderful -- both active and interactive. Carol's combination of illuminating information and musical presentation of voice and harp made the day educational and downright fun! The most important aspect of this workshop however, was Carol's wonderful personality -- her way of making people laugh, remembering each person's name, and making everyone feel so comfortable that they felt free to ask questions and dialogue with her. Many of the attendees are still commenting about it weeks later and hoping Carol will make a return trip soon!
~Auri Anna, Grants Pass, Oregon
We were honored to have had Carol Calvert present her very interesting Druid workshop at Aquarius Books & Gifts. Carol brings the light of integrity to bear on her wealth of experiences, her sparkling personality and witty humor had everyone's attention, the workshop could have gone on all night. As seekers of truth we were captivated with her stories, while being entertained with live Celtic harps playing in the background. What a workshop!
On a personal note I found Carol to be very professional, and down to earth at the same time. Over the years I have attended many workshops, lectures and events, and while many of the presenters were well versed in their fields, heart felt humility was rarely present, not so with Carol.
Now there's an example for us all.
Thank you Carol, we will be looking forward to your next visit to Southern Oregon.

Beitha's Sound: A Spiritual Adventure
Truly a spiritual empowerment primer for young girls and girls of all ages, Beithas Sound begins in Gaul (now France) in the 5th century A.D. The Roman Empire has fallen and numerous barbarian tribes vie for control of the land. The spread of Christianity is also well underway in Europe and in Ireland as well with the arrival of Patrick or Padraig. Though many of the Christians are good and loving people, there are those who only seek money, power, and control. The Zealots are determined to stamp out Druidry and anything connected with the power of the Goddess. None, especially women, are safe if their mission is successful. The wise women know that the power to stop these murderers lies with a young girl name Beitha, and her Anam Cara (soul friend) Jenny.
Aided by animal guides, fairies, and illumined beings, they undertake a physical and spiritual journey that will forever change them and everyone they meet.
Waiting for the Sequel: A Review of Beitha's Sound
What will happen next? How will Beitha continue to learn and grow? I am hoping a sequel will be published soon! Beitha's Sound was written for young people, yet is an exciting and informative read for adults as well. Mother Calvert combines history and adventure with the emotions of a young girl. This is a well-written and haunting book. Months after reading it, I continue to think about it, and I dream about it. Beitha is in my heart!
This is a must-read for all women, for young girls, and for anyone who is open to learning more about Druid beliefs, the dark side of Christianity, and some of the things that happened "in the name of Christ."
~ Linda Rounds Nichols

Today’s topic is how to use Qt basic library to create a birthday reminder with support from the Linux Terminal command.
The reminder shall be:
- Store all the pair of birthdays in a text file.
- If the command has no argument, then the file shall be open and the nearest 30 birthdays will be enlist.
- Commands in forman -v <Name>,<yyyy-mm-dd> add name and the date in the text file.
- Commands in the format -n <Number> will show the “n+1” older persons.
- Comands with the format <Name> will show the most searched person
To store the pairs <Birthday Date><Name>, the QMap containers will be used, this is due this container organize its elements by function of the birthday date, that will avoid the algorithm of organization.
To handle the procedures of writing and reading between QMap and the text file, the QTextStream (Serializer Pattern) will be used. QTextStream contains the text of the file to perform its filtering and insertion in the QMap(m_subjets).
The arguments are obtained from the unique instance of the application, they are saved in a QString and the inspection is performed to determine its functionality. As an example, the case with no arguments and -v is showed below.
The ending closes the text file and the instance (to return the cursor back to the terminal).

Speech at the residence of the US Ambassador to Algeria : 12 July 2009
These short comments were made at the residence of the US Ambassador to Algeria, David Pearce, in Algiers, Algeria. It was during a luncheon Ambassador Pearce hosted for the participants and families of the Youth Leadership Program for Algeria. In attendance were the 28 participants, their parents, embassy and consular staff, and representatives from Algeria's Ministry of Education.
"Since I arrived here in your country as a guest, I have learned what Valerie and the Ambassador already know: that the American and Algerian people share a great many common things. Both our countries were born out of a desire by our founding fathers to break free of the yoke of colonialism and imperialism. Our national identities have been shaped by that struggle for freedom and desire for independence.
In 1957, Senator John Kennedy publicly denounced French colonialism in Algeria and as president, he was the first to recognize a free and independent Algeria and to officially meet with your country's first president, Monsieur Ben Bella.
As I look out at the fresh young faces of the participants, I am reminded of the words of President Kennedy which hang in our library at the University of Nevada Reno. The torch now passes to you, a new generation of Algerians born in this century, the first generation of this new millennium and like your American counterparts in Reno, you too, have been tempered by war and disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, both our nations are proud of our ancient heritage and rich history, and unwilling to watch the slow undoing of those democratic principles to which both our countries and people have always been committed to , and remain committed to today, at home and around the world.
Kennedy's words electrified the Afro-Arab world and the Muslim people of Algeria long remembered his courageous words that helped carry them through the "darkest period" of their armed struggle against the French. Now, that torch has been passed to you, the next generation, to light the way and lead our countries into the future. In closing I wish to read a passage from the Al Baqarah in the Koran:
"Those that gave their wealth for the cause of God can be compared to a grain of corn which brings forth seven ears, each bearing a hundred grains."
(Original Arabic quote was read by an interpreter, Houda Bouhidel)
Each of you here today is like that grain of corn, a seed of peace, in whom the dreams of both of our countries rests. May Allah bless our joint venture so that each seed of peace we plant here and in America yield a hundred years of peace and friendship between our two countries."

Once considered a contemporary to the likes of Julian Schnabel and Jean-Michel Basquiat, artist Chuck Connelly was a key figure amongst New York’s neo-expressionist painters in the 1980s. His work was featured in gallery shows across the city and sold to both private collectors and the MoMA alike. Bold and densely layered, Connelly’s prolific paintings are richly imbued with his own varied life experiences, created as frantically as they are thoughtfully. By the mid-2000s, however, the artist was a man in decline; his marriage was over and most of those closest to him had been driven away by his rampant alcoholism, fiery temper and destructive attitude.
But Connelly kept painting.
Effectively a recluse in his native Philadelphia, the artist retreated to his canvases, chain-smoking his way to amassing over 5,000 original works that quickly filled every wall, shelf and room of his deteriorating, unkempt home. With only a few close confidants as his connection to the outside world, Connelly’s isolation only served to focus his manic painting style as he confronted a lifetime of perceived slights, failures, regrets and missed opportunities. In Chuck Connelly Into the Light, the artist is revisited as a man in his 60s, as intense and commanding as ever, if tempered by decades of reflection and solitude. Featuring insights from those who know him best today and his own characteristically colorful observations, Into the Light seeks to discover what becomes of a tortured artist when the pain subsides, how far talent can carry even the most difficult creatives, and if it’s ever too late to emerge from the darkness.
ABOUT CHUCK CONNELLY
Born in Pittsburgh in 1955, Connelly graduated from the Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia in 1977 and subsequently spent two years in Germany on fellowship. In the early 1980s Connelly based himself in New York City where he exhibited regularly and developed a highly inventive style of expressionist painting. By the mid-1980s Connelly was recognized as a key figure among the New York-based Neo-expressionist painters – alongside artists such Julian Schnabel and Jean-Michel Basquiat – and was collected by major institutions across the United States. In the late 1990s, Connelly returned to Philadelphia where he continues to live and work. Since his early successes, Connelly has been portrayed in film by Martin Scorcese (Nick Nolte’s character in New York Stories (1989) was based on Connelly) and was the subject of an HBO documentary in 2008, which above all captured his discipline and commitment to his craft. In fact, since Connelly’s rise to fame in the 80s, he has had few moments of inertia. As a prodigious painter with a passion for his art, he has amassed a vast collection of canvases, many of which have yet to be exhibited.


Composer portrait by Yukio Lippit (2018)
Professor of History of Art and Architecture Harvard University
Michelle Agnes Magalhaes (1979, Campo Grande, Brazil) is an acclaimed composer whose music explores the limits between gesture and writing, composition and improvisation. Her work has received glowing praise from music critics over the years, and has beed described as "a lively, layered dialogue among sounds", characterized by "a real sens of patient yet dramatic, even pictorial development", and a pictorical imagination that has reminded more that one critic of the music of Claude Debussy.
Magalhaes's carrer arc reads almost like a bildungsroman following the dramatic arc of a journey in pursuit of musical knowledge. As the composer herself states, she already knew she wanted to be a musician at the age of six. This epiphany was triggered during a walk home by the sounds of a piano, carried by the wind, through an open window. During her teenage years she was tutored in composition by Hans Joachim Koellreutter, a prominent music teacher, who as a young man in the 1930s, took many risks promoting avant-garde music in Nazi Germany.
She would go to study composition at the University of Campinas (Unicamp) in Brazil, where she obtained a BA and MA, and a PhD in Music from the University of Sao Paulo. During all this, at age of 23, she was the recipient of an artists' prize from Unesco (Ashberg Fellowship) that allowed her to travel extensively in Europe, exposing her to the many different communities of contemporary music on the continent. In 2013 she moved to Paris and became a researcher at IRCAM, the Institute de Recherche et de Coordination Acoustique/Musique at the Pompidou Center, and also traveled often to Italy to study with Salvatore Sciarrino.
Magalhaes has been awarded fellowships, residences and commissions from Radcliffe Institute (Harvard University), Fapesp, Camargo Foundation, Villa Sträuli, Brazilian Culture Minister, Fondazione Giorgio Cini Venezia, Siemens Foundation and IRCAM.
Her compositions are about the production of sound and physicality. She focus on raw materials, creating complex sounds inside forms that are simple and structured, and she cites as an inspiration the work of the Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx. Magalhaes also places a high premium on the engagement of the musician's body with her performance , as well as new approaches to traditional instruments and instrumentation.

Allan Sekula / Fish Story
Starting out in Los Angeles and San Diego, Sekula spent seven years photographing harbours and major port cities around the world, chronicling the prosperity, poverty, and political powers that continue to play out in the shipping industry. From North America, he traveled to the shores of Europe and Asia, moving via Mexico and then back to the Pacific Coast of the United States. Along his multiple journeys, Sekula charted the migration of people and circuits of capital, while recording – with pen and camera – the experiences of diverse workforces. In so doing, Sekula reconstructed a realist model of photographic representation, while taking a critical stance towards documentary photography. The result is a book that reads variously like fiction, journalism, essay, and prose-poetry.
About the Author
Allan Sekula (1951–2013) was an American artist, whose work spans multiple media: long form photographic series (Aerospace Folktales, 1973; School as a Factory, 1980; War Without Bodies, 1991/96), critical texts (The Body and the Archive, 1986 and Debating Occupy, 2012) and film (The Forgotten Space, 2012).

Don't take too long to think about it. List 15 books you've read that will always stick with you -- The first 15 you can recall in 15 minutes.
This is going to include children's books. It just is. I'm also going to include commentary.
Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison
One of my all-time favorite books. One of those novels that charts the vast reaches of the imagination; it could never be filmed, or exist in any other medium. It's always exciting, no matter how many times I read it. And the same goes for Ellison's second, unfinished novel, posthumously published as Juneteenth.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll
Two books, yes, but I'm counting them as one. I trust no one will stone me for that. I guess it's pretty obvious already that I love the fantastic. Maybe that's why I don't watch procedurals on TV - I don't care about stuff that happens in the mundane realm of the everyday. I want to live in the world of the unreal. And it's difficult to get more unreal than Alice's Wonderland. Another very good book is a "tre-quel" titled Automated Alice, written by Jeff Noon. I highly recommend it. (Those of you familiar with the original books will get the "trequel" joke.)
Ulysses by James Joyce
What is there to say about this book that hasn't been said? It's frustrating and infuriating and VERY slow going, but it's also like cracking a code and analyzing puzzles, which I love doing. And I got through it, which is something I cannot say for Finnegans Wake.
All God's Chillun Got Wings (my one play that I just had to include on this list) by Eugene O'Neill
Reading this play was an incredibly emotional experience. I read it, and then re-read it again immediately, weeping through the last scene. I've never seen it, but I want to.
Fish Out of Water by Dr. Seuss's wife(!) - Helen Giesel
Very few books make me think of my childhood and my grandparents as much as this one does. I always thought the wise old pet-shop owner was very like my grandfather.
The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle by Hugh Lofting
However, this is another book that immediately makes me think of my childhood and grandparents. I love children's books. I could seriously do this for fifteen children's books (and I just might) but I had to list this one too. Full of humor and exotic adventure. It's the simple things.
Perelandra by CS Lewis
I love a lot of CS Lewis's books, but if I had to choose one (which I guess I don't), I'd pick this one - the perfect melding of Lewis's philosophical and theological ramblings with an intense character-driven thriller. And the ending is truly lyrical and moving. And it's also not besmirched by Lewis's infamous mother/whore thing.
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Funny that I put this right under Perelandra, since I think both are psychological thrillers - that's what draws me to them. And of course, this book has some of the greatest characters of Western literature.
The New York Trilogy by Paul Auster
There's another book, Tintin in the New World (which is not nearly as good as this book), which uses the tagline "...up until now, he has never charted the restless territory of his own mind." I think that's an evocative phrase, and it evokes nothing so much as the feeling that this book brings to me. I especially think City of Glass, the first part of the trilogy, is a modern masterpiece - a novella that is frightening, surreal, mysterious, and true.
Sandman by Neil Gaiman
So I had to put one comic on this list, and I've often said that Sandman is the greatest comic I've ever read. Alan Moore has what seems to be an endless supply of brilliant ideas, but often lacks a beauty, lyricism, warmth. Sandman has that in spades. If I had to give someone one issue to convince them of the series' brilliance, I'd give them the issue, "A Dream of a Thousand Cats." It combines a brilliant premise and great storytelling with a truly touching climax, and a chilling denouement, all in 22 pages.
To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolfe
The first stream-of-consciousness novel I ever read. I read it when I was 13, and I remember I tried to write stream-of-consciousness stories for years after that, but the device, in my hands, always sounded forced and trite and unnatural. I still can't make my way through Remembrance of Things Past, but I love this book. Like many of the books on this list, it touches something within me that I can't quite name, and it makes me cry.
Franny and Zooey by JD Salinger
Salinger...is there any author whom I loved more when I was a teen? He is a master of conciseness. Every single word in this book means something. Especially in Franny, the book is all about what she doesn't say. When I was younger, I thought that it was the most brilliant character work ever. I still think it's pretty darn good.
The Plague by Albert Camus
Maybe cause I had such a strong Christian upbringing, I was always intrigued by existentialism. It never had the desired effect on me, because I had a moral compass, but the ideas that the existentialists stirred fascinated me. Honestly, it's probably part of being a teenager. Just most teens don't read Sartre's plays, and Camus's and Kafka's novels. (I'm guessing here. I wish I were wrong. We'd have much more literate youtube emo teens if they all followed the existentialist reading list!)
A Wind in the Door by Madeleine L'Engle
I think about this book maybe once a week. Another strongly moral book, another fantasy with SF undertones - is anyone detecting a pattern? (Wait till you see the last book on this list!) I also love A Swiftly Tilting Planet, which honestly might be even better, but this was my first L'Engle book, and the one I think of most frequently. I'm so sentimental.
Hinds' Feet on High Places by Hannah Hurnard
A Christian allegory! But seriously, I love allegories. They are one of my favorite genres. Just like Ulysses, they are puzzles. Usually pretty easy to figure out, but still. The trick to a good allegory is to make it work on a character and plot level, as well as on a symbolic level.
There you go. More than I've written on here in...a long time. But I love books. And this gives me a chance to share a piece of myself with you lj friends who don't really know me.
One final thought: the end of Pushing Daisies was kind of beautiful. Especially because the ending was really only the beginning.

How Can We Help?
Music & Audio
We’ve had the opportunity to design websites that serve as a collection of media tools for audio and video. We’ll use BonnieTarantino.com as an example.
For client administration, we generally create a special WordPress template for a page such as this one. When viewing the editing screen, you’ll see that each section has a unique text layout. Within those text blocks you’ll notice “shortcode” that looks similar to this:
This code “calls up” a specific player on the page and we’ve formatted it in a way that meets client needs and wishes. Read on for “how-to” info.
EXAMPLE: Wonder Audio Player Pro → Manage Audio Players → Audios
Adding NEW Audio Files
Unlike video files, which are typically best handled through YouTube, audio files need to be optimized for the smallest file size possible while maintaining good quality, then uploaded to the site through the Media Library. This can be challenging at times but this tool adds a large amount of authenticity to your site so it’s worth it. We recommend MP4 format and it helps to have a medium-sized thumbnail image ready to go with it (square 300px X 300px is preferred).
To add a NEW audio file, open the appropriate file name/ID (mouseover, “Edit”) and from the “Edit Audio Player” screen click the “Add Audio” button appearing right above the first audio file in the series. When the panel opens click the “Upload” button to the right of the Mp3/4 file field.
Locate the file on your computer and upload. Once the upload finishes, select it and click “Insert” or “Ok.”
Add the audio thumbnail image by uploading or retrieving from the Media Library. Next add the Title of the audio. You can skip down to the “Information” field, which we sometimes style with italics (see right).
Next step is to add the audio “duration” which can generally be obtained from the file itself or if not, from any converter used to format the file. (You can also find this using “Properties” on your local computer).
Next is to move the audio file into the appropriate spot in the order of your audio files. These are drag and drop or you can use the “Move Up and Move Down” feature. FINAL step is to “Save & Publish” (blue button). You can also “Preview” the player using the button next to it.
To edit an existing player click “Edit” under the appropriate ID. There you can change the list title or edit/add audios to the play list.
To EDIT an individual audio file click the “Edit” link located under the thumbnail image and title. There you can replace the MP3 audio file (URL) with another upload, change the title, audio “Information” or duration of the audio file in seconds (can be found using the files “Properties, Details” on your local computer).
Be sure to click “OK” if you make changes, or “Cancel” if not.
Creating a NEW Audio Player
There won’t be many occasions where you’ll need to create a new player BUT it IS possible administratively. The easiest way is to “Clone” one of the other players using the tool located in the mouseover group when you hover over the ID numbers. Once you’ve cloned a player you can go through and delete all but one of the existing audio files, leaving that one to copy from. When you have your new files uploaded remove that leftover, save and you’re good to go. After the player has been created, grab the “shortcode” from the player list, paste it into your page and voila! If all else fails you can drop us a note and we’ll jump in to help asap.
