This essay has been co-authored with Ben Peters. It is an output of a collective research conducted in the framework of exhibition Civilization at the Crossroads: Engineers of Scientific-Technical Revolution (November 2018 – February 2019) curated by Pavel Sterec and Lukáš Likavčan in galleries FUTURA and Display, Prague. The artwork at the top of the page is by Max Máslo, from the Prague exhibitions.
What can we learn from a forgotten case study of civilizational science from a country that no longer exists? When philosopher Radovan Richta published Civilization at the Crossroads in 1966, it was a popular sensation in Czechoslovakia, and was translated into eleven languages over the next decade. This collective work, compiling the writings of more than sixty researchers led by Richta, was a call for not just a citizen science but a civilizational science that proceeded from the engagement of a whole society. Their study was representative of how Czechoslovak intellectuals, on the verge of social revolution, sounded out incisive questions about the future of science and society in public. They demonstrated the conviction that automation could be Marxist without being Soviet, and could be committed to collectivist and individualist self-awareness at the same time. So what might Civilization at the Crossroads have to teach us, fifty years after the Prague Spring?
Backlit by Marxist insights, the work of Richta and his collective team at the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in the 1960s represents a valuable compendium of insights into the historical dynamics, technological conditions, ecological imagination, and social psychology of the Czechoslovak intellectuals at the time, as well as an insight into contemporary reflections on the value of work. Richta popularized the phrase “scientific-technical revolution,” which was instituted as official party doctrine at the Thirteenth Congress of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in 1966—as well as “socialism with a human face,” which was a rallying cry of the Prague Spring two years later. The scientific-technical revolution called for a major transformation in the relationship between nature and industrial society, and a redefinition of labor’s very meaning. Originally formulated by the Marxist J. D. Bernal in 1954, Richta took it up as a way to move beyond the Marxist-Leninist tradition of labor in the Soviet bloc during the 1960s, while moving toward a new articulation of socialist society—what we might call a “post-work society” in today’s parlance.

Fetishes of Light

Blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments, and commanded us to kindle the Chanukah light.
— First Blessing on the Menorah
The sun had set and together we lit the candles. She removed her clothes, secured her blindfold and lay down in front of the window. I took the menorah and stood at her side. It would be a celebration of lights she wouldn’t be able to see. The yellow flame began to melt the surrounding wax. I tipped the menorah slightly to the side and a single bead of red wax dripped onto the back of her open palm. Her fingers trembled.
I stood over her with the menorah in front of me. The flame flickered and the silver branches shone. I closed my eyes and felt the heat on my face. I looked down at her. Her breathing became faster and she bit her lower lip. She was anxious. I shushed her. “We’re just getting started.”
I unleashed the full stream of the nine candles onto her chest like a hot rake. She howled and writhed back and forth as the wax coated her nipples and flowed down between the indentations of her ribs like rain flowing from the mountains into the valley. The flow pooled the sleek substance in her abdomen. Her nostrils flared. Her body quivered and her hips rolled.
The sight of her in the candlelight sent a wave of fire through my body. A spurt of white wax erupted from my candle. It flew into the air and splashed down across her torso. The white mixed with the red and glowed pink in the light. I touched the cooled wax with my fingertips as her breathing relaxed. A calm smile spread across her face. The candlelight began to wane, but our passion remained kindled.
Fetishes of Light, and 68 more stories, is from "Thong of Thongs: 69 Sexy Jewish Stories" by Kitty Knish, available at Amazon, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Smashwords.
Or click on the "Deep Desires Press" banner for more!
Thong of Thongs blurb:
Thong of Thongs is the lovely Kitty Knish's debut collection of 69 sexy Jewish stories, showcasing Jewish humor at its finest. Equal parts kosher and dirty, romantic and raunchy fun.
Adam, Eve and the trouser snake; streaking at a kibbutz; Freud’s introduction to submission; these are only a few of the hilariously scandalous tales found inside. Laugh your tuckus off as the Chosen People enjoy their bondage with a side of bagels and lox.
*WARNING*: While there is something in this collection for everyone, not every story is for everyone, so please approach this book with an open mind before you unzip your pants. No kvetching here, you’ve been warned!

Have you ever wondered how naturalism came to replace Christian theism as the dominant worldview in Europe and America? Have you ever wondered why evangelical Christians are not permitted to appeal to the Christian faith as a basis for any public policy? Have you ever wondered why so many young people walk away from Christianity in college? Then you must read Total Truth by Nancy Pearcey. This is a ground-breaking book explaing why Christians have accepted the secular/sacred distinction and don't take the role of the mind seriously in their Christian discipleship. You can read a review of this book I just wrote here: www.frontlinemin.org/totaltruth.asp. This book will enlighten you as you come to see the Christian faith as "total truth" and it will motivate you to work to see all those you care about learn and live the Christian worldview.


HathiTrust Digital Library
September 29, 2021
HathiTrust Digital Library has been providing services since 2008 when it was founded. This database preserves and provides access to over 17 million digitized items. HathiTrust Digital Library is one of the services offered by HathiTrust, a non-profit collaborative of academic and research libraries offering reading access to the fullest extent allowable by U.S. copyright law, computational access for scholarly research, and other services like the “Shared Print Program,” a shared network of print collections with collective print retention, and the “Copyright Review Program,” dedicated to find and open public domain materials in the U.S and around the world.
Publisher About Page:
The HathiTrust project started in 2008 when the University of Michigan proposed to build a shared digital repository with the libraries associated with the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (now the Big Ten Academy Alliance) and the University of California. HathiTrust quickly opened up to other members that wanted to archive and share their digital collections. HathiTrust includes digitized books and journal articles both copyrighted and public domain, digitized by Google, the Internet Archive, and Microsoft. The HathiTrust repository, conceived initially as a preservation environment, gradually developed access systems, such as a page-viewing and a collection-building application, an information website, and other applications like the catalog and full-text search. Since its beginning, many universities have joined HathiTrust, such as Cornell University Library, Dartmouth College Library, the New York Public Library, Princeton University, the Triangle Research Libraries Network (North Carolina), and the University of Virginia, and Yale University.
Hathi means elephant in Hindi, an animal associated with memory, wisdom, and strength, representing the organization’s values. These values are embedded in HathiTrust’s mission and goals. The member libraries aim to build a comprehensive archive of published literature worldwide and develop shared strategies for managing and developing their digital and print holdings collaboratively. HathiTrust primarily serves the communities of its member libraries and institutions (faculty, staff, students). Still, the materials in HathiTrust are available to all to the extent permitted by law and contracts, providing the published record as a public good to users worldwide.
Books, manuscripts, journal articles, government documents, and other volumes
Location of Original Materials:
The digitized content provided through the HathiTrust Digital Library comes from various sources, including Google, the Internet Archive, Microsoft, and in-house member institution initiatives. Items in the public domain are in full view for everyone, and items held in copyright are searchable. According to Angelina Zaytsev, the Chair of HathiTrust User Support, “The main body of materials, over 13 million volumes, is comprised of scanned copies of printed books held in academic institutions around the world.” Print copies of relevant works in HathiTrust must be owned currently or have been owned previously by the institution’s library system.
Members can download public domain works in their entirety and works made available under Creative Commons licenses. Guest users can download one page at a time of all public domain works or an entire work that doesn’t have download restrictions. Furthermore, HathiTrust remarks they do not have the authority to grant or deny permission to use images from volumes in the public domain or open access. It would help if you made your own assessment of the copyright or other legal concerns related to uses beyond those provided by HathiTrust for particular works.
Titles List link
As of today, HathiTrust Digital Library contains digitized material that includes:
- 17,490,052 total volumes
- 8,425,057 book titles
- 470,702 serial titles
- 6,121,518,200 pages
- 784 terabytes
- 207 miles
- 14,211 tons
- 6,885,245 volumes (~39% of total) in the public domain
HathiTrust Digital Library is a digital preservation repository and access platform that provides digital content, a collection of millions of titles digitized from libraries worldwide. The digitalized content provided by HathiTrust delivers from various sources, including Google, the Internet Archive, Microsoft, and in-house member institution initiatives. Items in the public domain are in full view for everyone, and items held in copyright are searchable.
This database offers three search options: primary catalog search, full-text search, and full-text advance search. The primary catalog search consists of phrase searching, which could be looking for an exact phrase using quotes or wildcards where you could use * or ? at the end or in the middle of a word respectively to search for alternate forms of a term. You could also explore the catalog using Boolean search to combine words with AND / OR following Boolean logic. If you want to browse the entire catalog, you can enter * by itself. The full-text search functions similarly to the catalog search, but instead of a “wildcard” option, it provides a multiple-term search. Instead of using AND/ OR in the full-text advanced search, you can use the “all of these words” dropdown.
In addition, you can search by OCLC number. Since HathiTrust records come from different libraries, some of them do not always contain an OCLC number.
HathiTrust also provides several features for searching in a book, such as: changing the order of the results; turn search term highlighting on the book pages on or off; resize the sidebar by dragging the Close Sidebar icon to make the search results broader or narrower; loading the search results in the sidebar so you can explore the search results while viewing the book pages at the same time. Furthermore, this database has searchable text for volumes in various non-Western scripts, including Russian, Greek, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
HathiTrust currently accepts members from either academic and research libraries, university systems of libraries, or Consortia of libraries. In addition, HathiTrust considers members from non-profit, non-U.S. research libraries on a case-by-case basis. Not-for-profit organizations are entities, such as universities, colleges, museums, research centers, and agencies that operate one or more libraries, such as the University of Pennsylvania, Getty Research Institute, New York Public Library, Library of Congress. On the other hand, university systems are multi-institution, not-for-profit higher education systems, operating one or more libraries.
Information from Publisher
The HathiTrust website is self-explanatory and informative, and they encourage feedback to improve the service. The Help section of the digital library will lead the member step-by-step through the search process.
HathiTrust users are encouraged to cite and link to digital content and are free to do so without asking for permission. Depending on the source of the digitized work, licenses or other contractual terms may restrict the further distribution or other uses. HathiTrust recommends consulting the “Access and Use” statement included in each item (in the sidebar to the left of the viewing area, next to the “Copyright” heading) for volume-specific information. Moreover, the website indicates that where uses of public domain volumes are permitted or appropriate permissions have been secured, HathiTrust should be attributed as the source of the digital images with the addition of “courtesy of HathiTrust” to the citation, including links to the digital images when possible.
In 1938 H. G. Wells said, “The time is close at hand when any student, in any part of the world, will be able to sit with his projector in his study at his or her convenience to examine any book, any document, in a replica.” HathiTrust Digital Library’s commitment to sharing human knowledge by facilitating access to books and articles to people worldwide is getting us closer to Wells’ prediction. Unlike Google Books and the Internet Archive, HathiTrust is not a corporation but an enterprise that believes that sharing information is the responsibility of research libraries. Also different from Google Books and other digital repositories, HathiTrust is dedicated to preserving digitized data. Furthermore, another aspect that differentiates HathiTrust from other digitalized libraries is that, since the very beginning, HathiTrust has incorporated access to individuals with disabilities which is included in its mission statement and goals. Finally, HathiTrust Digital Library has played a central role these past two years when member libraries have experienced interruption during the Coronavirus crisis. Its Emergency Temporary Access Service allows member library patrons to obtain lawful access to specific digital materials in HathiTrust that correspond to physical books held by their library.
Simone Schloss (Gottesman Libraries Teachers College, Columbia University)
“The HathiTrust Digital Library, and the Internet Archive: Digital Library of Free and Borrowable Books are two valuable Open Access sources of online materials to bookmark and regularly consult for expanded access to digital resources!”
Heather Christenson (California Digital Library)
‘Because of the size of the HathiTrust repository and the depth of the collaboration involved, the participating libraries are uniquely positioned to leverage technical infrastructure and collective expertise for digital preservation, services, and collection management on an unprecedented scale.”
“Since HathiTrust metadata originates from partner libraries, the libraries have a more direct opportunity to resolve errors, collectively explore how the original cataloging of print volumes can be enhanced and extended to digital volumes, and experiment with optimally integrating bibliographic metadata with full text for search purposes.”
Kevin O’Brien (Library of the Health Sciences, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL)
“Although the core of HathiTrust’s content overlaps with the content produced in the Google Books scanning project, HathiTrust does contain items not included in the Google Books database. This content comes from libraries participating in the HathiTrust that were not involved in the Google Books undertaking.”
“HathiTrust is distinguished from Google Books in its commitment to bibliographic standards for item records, sophisticated search options, long-term preservation efforts, and orientation toward cooperative national and international academic institutional endeavors.”
Gita Gunatilleke (freelance librarian and reviewer)
“HathiTrust has certainly shown that libraries themselves can collectively work together for the common good and best results, and deliver to the end user what would be the ultimate benefits of new technology and that as more and more institutions join as partners the common good initiative can become truly global.”

Just finished reading Daniel Tunkelang’s recently published book on Faceted Search. I read Daniel’s blog (“The Noisy Channel“) regularly, and enjoy his good mix of IR practice with emphasis on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). With faceted search tasks on the roadmap at work, I wanted to better educate myself on the topic, and this one looked like a good read, with the cover promising:
“… a self-contained treatment of the topic, with an extensive bibliography for those who would like to pursue particular aspects in more depth”
With 70 pages, the book reads quickly and smoothly. Daniel provides a fascinating intro to faceted search, from early taxonomies, to facets, to faceted navigation and on to faceted search. He adds an introductory chapter on IR, which is a worthwhile read even for IR professionals with some interesting insights. One is how ranked retrieval that we all grew so accustomed of, blurred the once clear border of relevant vs. non-relevant that set retrieval enforced. Daniel suggests that this issue is significant for faceted search, being a set-retrieval oriented task, and a pingback on his blog led me to a fascinating elaboration on this pain in another fine search blog (recommended read!).
With such elaborate introductory chapters and more on faceted search history, not much is left though for the actual chapters on research and practice, and as a reader I felt there could be a lot more there. But then, it is reasonable to leave a lot to the reader and just give a taste of the challenges, to be later explored by the curious reader from the bibliography.
However, that promise for extensive bibliography somewhat disappointed me… With 119 references, and only about a quarter being academic publications from the past 5 years, I felt a bit back to square one. I was hoping for more of a literature survey and pointers when discussing the techniques for those tough issues, such as how to choose the most informational facets for a given query or how to extract facets from unstructured fields. Daniel provide some useful tips on those, but reading more on these topics will require doing my own literature scan.
In any case, for a newcomer with little background in search in general and faceted in particular, this book is an excellent introduction. Those more versed with classic IR moving into faceted search, will find the book an interesting read but probably not sufficient as a full reference.
Thanks for the kind words about my blog! I’m happy that you find Daniel’s thoughts on faceted search just as facinating as I do.
Please keep us posted on the progression of you literature scan!
Halla Vegard, thanks for visiting! That’s a great blog you guys have there, added to my reading list…


Luis Soriano’s Biblioburro – The Donkey Library of Colombia
A lifetime lover of books Luis Soriano, is a legendary man who came from a small town called La Gloria, Colombia. Growing up in a remote part of his country, Luis Soriano managed to obtain a college degree in Spanish literature from a professor who visited his town two times per month. After his studies he went on to become an elementary school teacher. The Magdalena province of Colombia, where Luis Soriano taught his students, was a particularly poor and violent area of the country. Most of the children in the area had witnessed intense conflict first-hand. Being in a very remote and poor region, books were not easy to get a hold of, but with the limited resources that Luis Soriano had, he noticed the immensely powerful affect that books had on his students.
With a passion to share books with the children of the Magdalena Province and using two donkeys, Luis Soriano decided to spend his weekends carrying around a small collection of books to the impoverished communities in the area. Through this idea, his portable library, known as the ‘Biblio Burro’ (which translates to donkey library) was born. The Biblio Burro began with a modest 70 books, but slowly Luis Soriano began to grow his collection. A major turning point was when he wrote a letter to a Colombian journalist and writer called Juan Gossain. Mr. Soriano had heard Juan Goassain reading excerpts from a novel that he wrote on the radio. Luis Soriano liked what he had heard and wrote to Mr. Gossain asking for a copy of the book to include in his donkey library. Juan Goassain not only decided to send Luis Soriano a copy of his book, but broadcasted the details of the exchange over the radio which created a huge amount of other authors to do the same. Because of this game changing event the Biblio Burro collection eventually grew to nearly 4,800 books, with children’s adventure stories being the most popular genre.
Struggles Along the Way
The rural, conflict riddled region where Luis Soriano was sharing books with children has been no easy place to travel. Mr. Soriano has braved a variety of hardships along the way including being accosted by armed paramilitary groups and drug traffickers. At one point bandits tried to rob him and tied him up, only to find out that he had no money at all. Through intense heat, braving jungles of dangerous animals, Luis Soriano’s donkey library has been serving the children of Northern Colombia since the late 1990’s. Just a few years back the Biblio Burro suffered a major setback as Luis Soriano had to have one leg amputated due to an accident he suffered involving one of his donkeys. The inspirational story of the donkey library and Luis Soriano has been turned into the Biblioburro children’s book and a documentary has been made filmed about the library.
Below is a YouTube video with more information about Luis Soriano and the Biblio Burro:

“A Washington Post Notable Book
With a new chapter on eugenicist Madison Grant’s The Passing of the Great Race
In this brilliant and original exploration of some of the formative influences in Adolf Hitler’s life, Timothy Ryback examines the books that shaped the man and his thinking.
Hitler was better known for burning books than collecting them but, as Ryback vividly shows us, books were Hitler’s constant companions throughout his life. They accompanied him from his years as a frontline corporal during the First World War to his final days before his suicide in Berlin. With remarkable attention to detail, Ryback examines the surviving volumes from Hitler’s private book collection, revealing the ideas and obsessions that occupied Hitler in his most private hours and the consequences they had for our world.
A feat of scholarly detective work, and a captivating biographical portrait, Hitler’s Private Library is one of the most intimate and chilling works on Hitler yet written.

Readers' opinions about Hitler's Private Library by Timothy W. Ryback
The themes of resilience and hope resonated deeply with me. This book taught me valuable life lessons that I'll carry with me for years to come.
I loved the powerful messages hidden within the story. The book tackled important social issues and made me ponder the world we live in. It's a must-read for everyone.
The world created in this book was unlike anything I've ever encountered. The author's imagination knows no bounds, and I was completely mesmerized by the fantastical setting.

I am happy to know that Daman Industries Association is in the process of bringing out an Industrial and Tourism Directory. This effort of the Association will be extremely helpful for not only the industrial units of Daman but also for the overall economic growth of Daman because it would serve as a ready reckoner for the industries located in and around this area.

I wish the Daman Industries Association every success in publishing the industrial tourism directory.


We see what kind of conditions sheltered animals live in, and sometimes, depending on where you live, the conditions of the great outdoors are also no place for an animal to make their permanent habitat. To be able to take an animal home with us, call them our own, and provide them the necessities and safe environment they need to thrive is a beautiful thing.
For a baby Australian magpie, she unexpectedly became part of the Bloom family’s Newport, Sydney, household when she was in dire need of saving in 2013 after she fell out of her nest. Immediately, the Blooms took on the role of the injured magpie’s caregiver, who would have otherwise not survived.
But not only did the magpie, who was later named Penguin, get saved, but she also saved the Blooms too.
Before Penguin’s arrival, Sam, the Bloom’s mother-of-three, suffered a serious, near-fatal fall that left her paralyzed from a spinal cord injury during a Thailand vacation. Not only was she physically injured, but she fell into a deep depression shortly after her trauma.
Three months after Sam came home from the hospital, Penguin came into the picture and helped change everything for the struggling family.
According to the father, “I never thought she’d become as much a part of the family as she has. [The kids] love her like a dog, but better.”
Not only did Penguin give great joy, comfort, and laughter for the family, but she helped them realize that life is not only fragile, but even the weakest can make the greatest of returns.
“I was so bored for the first year after the accident. Before, I was active every day, independent and doing mum things. Boredom became my worst enemy, but when Penguin came into our lives it became her and me every day. Suddenly, I had something to do. She was with me all the time and was really good company. We would sing and chat to each other. Penguin listened to all of my complaints and she never accidentally said anything thoughtless in response to me,” said the mother in an article.
Interestingly, as the magpie grew into a strong, healthy bird, so did the mother and as did the rest of her family.
Due to how touching Penguin was for the Blooms, Cameron, the father of the family, co-authored a book with Bradley Trevor Greive entitled, Penguin Bloom: The Odd Little Bird Who Saved a Family.
“The aim of the book is to help people. It basically picks up where Penguin Bloom left off and will share my take on facing and overcoming adversity. I hope telling my story might be helpful to others, and show them they’re not alone. That would definitely be a positive out of all this,” says Sam.
And, in 2020, the film, Penguin Bloom, will be released, giving viewers a visual understanding of the emotional story.
“We’re also incredibly excited to have our story told through a movie. Producers Naomi Watts, Bruna Papandrea and Emma Cooper are extraordinary women and I know they will do a fantastic job.”
Watch the video below to learn more about Penguin and how much she means to the Bloom family!


Lijia Xu, winner of the Laser Radial Olympic gold medal 2012 and Asia’s first dinghy sailing gold medallist tells the story of her journey to success!
Lijia “Lilly” Xu become a headline name in the Laser Radial class when she won the Laser Radial Women’s World Championship at the relatively young age of 19. It does not seem possible that a short 10 years later she has enough experience to write her sailing life story so far but that is discounting the fact that she started full time sailing at the age of 10 in a country that was then not known for international sailing.
Her book, “Golden Lily” covers 20 years of her life with amazing recall of her early days in the Optimist class through a national programme that is unique in the sailing world. It takes the reader through her path to an Olympic Bronze medal in her home country in 2008 and onwards to Olympic gold in Weymouth in 2012 and her life after retirement from sailing. It touches personal relationships and injury and gives a deep insight her training regime and her approach to sailing and life in general.
Her story is punctuated by 6 ‘Interludes’ that cover eating, working with coaches, mental attitude, dealing with injury and fitness and 8 ‘Positive Affirmations’ about concentration, positive thinking, team and team mates, super health, Olympics, core performance, fitness and attitudes.
For sailors it is worth buying the book for any of these 14 items alone!
Apart from containing a lot of tips to improve her sailing, the book is a gold mine of information for a person looking to improve in any sport or in life in general. It could be titled “How to succeed in sport and life and conquer adversity”.
Without all the tips, the book is still a ‘must read’ just for the story. Everyone I met who has read the book has been amazed. I guarantee that once you start to read you will not be able to put the book down. Sir Ben Ainslie, one of the most successful sailors in Olympic history said this book is “an enthralling account of Lily’s life… I commend this book to anyone interested in sailing, sport or the differences between east and west.”
If you are still in doubt watch a video of Lily’s acceptance speech of the 2012 Rolex ISAF World Sailor of the Year award on you tube:

It may look like oversized Monopoly money with "Chattanooga" printed on it, but the bills are the real thing, and they're almost 150 years old.
What's more, "Chattanooga" money was quite common in its time.
"The only paper money in the United States (at that time) was issued by maybe 10,000 banks that put out their own individual money," said Dennis Schafluetzel, a Chattanooga coin collector who has researched local money.
In researching the bank notes, Mr. Schafluetzel and his researching and writing partner, Chattanooga coin collector Tom Carson, have published an e-book on CD, showing all the known varieties of Chattanooga money. In the process, the two have become known as the country's recognized experts on Chattanooga and Tennessee money.
During the Civil War, with blockades creating a shortage of paper, some bills were issued on the backs of other currencies from banks that had gone bankrupt or been taken over by one or another army, Mr. Carson said.
ABOUT THE E-BOOK
* Title: Chattanooga Money
* What does it tell: The history of Chattanooga using images of Chattanooga notes and bills to illustrate the times from the 1830s to the 1930s.
* Where to find it: www.schafluetzel.org
After the war, the bank notes and other currencies issued by large industry groups such as mining interests or other businesses that had "company stores" were largely worth nothing.
"That's why they were saved (to find today)," Mr. Schafluetzel said.
Now collectors are assigning the bills a different value. Some are worth as much as $2,000, others only as much as $30, Mr. Carson said.
Jim Ogden, Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park historian, said the little-known money -- and similar currencies from banks and organizations in Northwest Georgia -- helps reflect how complex the era was.
"We have a tendency to simplify the time and romanticize it," he said. "But if you were on the street with a fistful of this currency (from one bank or another) you might think you had $25, but maybe you didn't."
Just before the Civil War, the country was in recession, Mr. Ogden said, but the Chattanooga area, growing fast because of the railroads, had new banks and businesses springing up.
The most common North Georgia currencies came from Western Atlanta Railroad, which was owned by the state of Georgia and had its northern terminus in Chattanooga, he said. There also were a number of currencies from banks in Rome, then the largest and fastest-growing city in the region.
Still, as first the recession and then the war reshaped both the economy and the local governments, one bank or organization after another went out of business. When it did, its currency lost value.
But there still are mysteries about the money.
"There's a lot still to learn," Mr. Ogden said of the Chattanooga, Tennessee and North Georgia currencies. "For some of these currencies, we don't know a lot about the organizations that issued them or the people behind them."
Ken Rentzsch, of Hixson, is a member of the Chattanooga Civil War Roundtable, a club where Mr. Carson and Mr. Schafluetzel recently made a presentation about the currency and their collection. He said he was fascinated to learn about the "Chattanooga" money.
"It's just amazing," he said. "I had no idea that this happened here."


The world is radically changing. While one third of followers of Jesus in the UK cling to the old rugged church, the other two thirds are living out their faith beyond organised church. Don Egan believes it is time to consider a radical new approach to living out faith. He retraces the beginnings of the community Jesus founded and comes to a surprising conclusion. It may be time to ditch not only the bath water but also the bathtub. It is the baby that is important. This book is about Don Egan’s journey into a new type of monasticism.

224.844.349 m/s book by La Kursala 2016
This book is the result of a study on the refraction of light in water. The speed that light travels at in order to go through water (224.844.349 m/s) allows us to break the algorithm of digital images and to dive into the depths of the screen, to that place where the pixel is born. This minimal unit stands at the basis of contemporary plastic arts and it is its mathematical language that makes it possible for cities like Cadiz and Havana, connected by their architectural origins but separated by the blue ocean, to communicate visually. By navigating on the pixel we will be able to pass through the marine looking glass that brings these two twin cities apart, and at the same time to bring together all of the gazes projected from the shore into one reflection.


This report summarizes the activities and outcomes of the APEC Experts’ Group on Illegal Logging and Trade’s multi-year policy theme on “Advancing the trade and distribution of legally harvested forest products”. Recognising that private sector entities are the key actors in the trade and distribution of forest products, the theme sought to engage this cohort to identify: the issues they face in legal forest product trade; the potential actions that might be undertaken to support them; and the resources and materials available to help. The report details three distinct streams of work: (1) a stakeholder workshop series; (2) a private sector survey; and (3) the development of a ‘Compendium of Resources’ to compile tools, materials and resources.
The report outlines the key themes and challenges identified and explores opportunities, and offers recommendations for consideration. The report and recommendations will help shape EGILAT’s future work plan, within the bounds of its mandate, tools, and resources.

"Two years after my mother died, my father fell in love with a glamorous blonde Ukranian divorcee. He was eighty-four and she was thirty-six. She exploded into our lives like a fluffy pink grenade, churning up the murky water, bringing to the surface sludge of sloughed-off memories, giving the family ghosts a kick up the backside."
When their recently-widowed father announces he plans to remarry, sisters Vera and Nadezhda realise they must put aside a lifetime of feuding in order to save him. His new love is a voluptuous gold-digger from the Ukraine half his age, with a proclivity for green satin underwear and boil-in-the-bag cuisine, who stops at nothing in her single-minded pursuit of the luxurious Western lifestyle she dreams of. But the old man, too, is pursuing his eccentric dreams - and writing a history of tractors in Ukrainian.
A wise, tender and deeply funny novel about families, the belated healing of old wounds,the trials and consolations of old age and - really - about the legacy of Europe's history over the last fifty years.

The Viking Age was a time of exploration, raiding, and trading for the Scandinavian people. Among the many goods they traded, one stands out as particularly valuable and fascinating – the walrus tusk. In this article, we’ll dive into the significance of walrus tusks in Viking culture, their impact on European history, and how they influenced the future elephant ivory trade during the colonization of Africa.
The Value of Walrus Tusks in Viking Society
Walrus tusks were highly prized in Viking culture for their versatility and durability. They were used for a variety of purposes, from carving intricate designs and jewelry to crafting weapons, knife handles, and even drinking vessels. The walrus ivory was also traded as a valuable commodity, both within the Viking territories and beyond.
Greenland, located in the icy North Atlantic Ocean, was a crucial location for the Viking trade in walrus tusks. It was home to large populations of walruses, many more than Iceland, which provided an abundant source of ivory for the Vikings. The first storied Viking to settle in Greenland was Erik the Red, who established two colonies in the late 10th century. These colonies, known as the Eastern Settlement and the Western Settlement, were the largest Viking settlements outside of Scandinavia.
Eirk the Red
Erik the Red, an experienced navigator and explorer, was the first European to set foot on Greenland. He had been banished from Iceland for manslaughter after a neighbor dispute. After this, he sailed west in search of new lands to settle. He named the land he discovered “Greenland” to make it more appealing for future potential settlers, even though much of the island was covered in ice and snow. Erik’s settlements thrived for several centuries, thanks in part to the walrus ivory trade.
However, the Vikings were not the only people who lived in Greenland at the time. The Inuit natives, who had been living on the island for over 4,000 years, also hunted walruses for their meat, skins, and ivory. The arrival of the Vikings had a significant impact on the Inuit way of life, as they competed for the same resources and occasionally clashed over territory.
The Vikings and the Inuit had starkly lifestyles and cultures. The Vikings were farmers, traders, and warriors who lived in large, communal houses called longhouses. They believed in the gods and goddesses, and their society was stratified into classes, with the jarl (earl) at the top. The Inuit, on the other hand, were nomadic hunter-gatherers who lived in small, mobile groups. They had a rich spiritual tradition and believed in animism, the idea that all things, including animals and objects, have a spirit.
Despite these differences, the Vikings and the Inuit had some interactions. They at times traded goods, such as animal furs and ivory, and occasionally intermarried. The Vikings also learned select survival skills from the Inuit, such as how to build igloos and how to properly hunt in the harsh Arctic environment.
Viking Decline in Greenland
The Viking colonies in Greenland lasted for several centuries, but they eventually declined and ultimately disappeared. The reasons for this decline are still debated by historians, but factors such as climate change, overgrazing of livestock, the bubonic plague at home in Norway, and conflicts with the Inuit all may have played a role.
One notable Viking who was born in Greenland was Lief Erikson, son of Erik the Red. Lief is famous for being the first European to set foot on North America, nearly 500 years before Christopher Columbus. According to the Icelandic sagas, Lief sailed to North America in the year 1000 and established a settlement in what is now Newfoundland, Canada. The settlement, called Vinland, was named for the species of grapes that grew there. The Vikings traded with the indigenous people they encountered, who may have been ancestors of the Inuit.
Viking Walrus Ivory and Europe’s Demand for more
The Viking trade in walrus ivory had a significant impact on the future trade in elephant ivory across Europe. As the Viking Age came to an end, European demand for ivory continued to grow. However, the supply of walrus ivory was limited and could not keep up with the demand. This led to an increased interest in ivory elsewhere, notably in Africa, where it was seen as more abundant and accessible.
African Colonization and Ivory
The Portuguese were the first post-medieval Europeans to establish trade contacts with West Africa in the 15th century, paving the way for the later colonization of the continent. They were followed by other European powers, including the Dutch, French, British, Belgian and German, who established their own trading posts and colonies along Africa’s coasts. Ivory was a significant commodity in the African trade, and European demand for it was insatiable.
African ivory trade had a devastating impact on the continent’s elephant populations. Tens of thousands of elephants were killed every year for their ivory, leading to a dramatic decline in their once vast numbers. This not only impacted elephant populations but also had ripple effects throughout the ecosystem and the communities that relied on them.
The ivory trade played a significant role in the colonization of Africa. European powers used their control over the ivory trade as a means of exerting economic and political influence over African societies. They often relied on African intermediaries to procure the ivory, creating a system of dependency and exploitation.
In some cases, ivory trade was even used as a pretext for colonization. The Belgian King Leopold II, for example, used the pretext of a humanitarian mission to establish his own personal colony in the Congo, which he ruled with brutal force. He justified his actions by claiming that he was “civilizing” the Africans and putting an end to the “barbaric” practices of the ivory trade.
Ivory Trade’s Lasting Impact Today
The legacy of the ivory trade is still felt in Africa today. Many African countries continue to struggle with poverty, political instability, and environmental degradation, which can be traced back in part to the exploitation of their resources, including ivory. The elephant populations are still recovering from the devastating impact of the ivory trade, and conservation efforts are ongoing to protect them and their habitats.
In conclusion, the Viking trade in walrus tusks had a significant impact on European history, from the establishment of Viking settlements in Greenland to the discovery of North America by Lief Erikson. The trade also had a significant influence on the future trade in elephant ivory, which had devastating consequences for African elephants and societies. The ivory trade played a significant role in the colonization of Africa and the exploitation of its resources, leaving a legacy that is still felt today. As we look back on this history, it is essential to remember the impact that our actions can have on the world around us and to work towards a more sustainable and equitable future.

“It met with the unexpectedly stubborn and active resistance of fresh American troops.” So wrote General Eric Ludendorff after the Armistice of Germany’s last offensive of the Great War. That attack was both launched and effectively smothered on 15 July 1918. Applying a double-swinging-door maneuver at either end of a 48-mile assault line, its immediate objectives were to envelop and capture the major rail junctions at Reims, Epernay, and Châlons. As fate would have it, American units were placed directly in front of the swinging doors at both ends. In the west near Château-Thierry was the 3rd Division of regulars that was prominent in last month’s issue of Over the Top. Their actions on 15 July are immortalized through an enduring U.S. Army tradition—the “Rock of the Marne.”
Far to the east, in the Champagne, the 42nd “Rainbow” Division, composed of National Guardsmen from across the nation, was deployed. Their task and level of challenge were the same as those faced by their fellow Doughboys to the west, but their story is less known. In this issue, we are going to remedy that. Our contributor, Stephen Harris, has written about both episodes in his series of AEF histories. In this issue he focuses on the Champagne and the effort of the Rainbow Division’s most famous regiment, “The Fighting Sixty-Ninth” of New York, which was re-designated the 165th Infantry in the AEF system. Their effort was romanticized a bit in a famous pre-World War II movie, but make no mistake about it, they were a first-class fighting outfit and would prove it that decisive day.

It is with (inevitable) sadness that I read last week that the Encyclopedia Britannica has (finally) announced there will be no more new printed editions. I must admit I did feel largely nostalgic at the thought. Then I began to feel the knowing guilt, having never actually purchased any of their sets. Some might say that this news is possibly 15 years in the making although somewhere, somehow this decision will mean something.
There is, however, something intrinsically wonderful about the concept of a printed Encyclopaedia. It is not just the smell, the binding and the beautiful linework used in the illustrations that draws me to them. For me, there is something magical about capturing and curating all the information that someone has deemed ‘important’ from one entire year. The book/s are a snap shot of life as was known for that particular time and have a very important place in our history.
This notion actually formed the basis for a collection of hand made large scale collage artworks I undertook last year. Generated from Illustrated Encyclopaedias taken from a particular year or time frame, I set out to recreate little worlds or scenes based on the information ‘known’ at that time.
Constructed from a 1956’s Children’s encyclopedia the black and white collage would be my favourite and the one I would like to feature today. (Due to its scale I have posted a few close ups)
Sorely Illustrated in gorgeous black line weights and hatches, it has a richness that captures the artistic style of the time it was printed. Physically the paper is thick between your fingers and the ink has settled to provide a texture to the image. Conceptually, a playful fascination with outer space and the atmosphere featured prominently in this edition so forms a large part of the constructed image.
In contrast, the colourful collage below is compiled from a 1970’s series of Illustrated Children’s Encylopedias.
As a lover of the infiniteness that is the internet, I also appreciated the simplicity and limiting qualities that the bound variety of informational gathering once enabled.
I guess once a Librarian’s daughter always a Librarian’s daughter.

I for one have found the book invaluable and it has started to retrain my mind when it comes to speaking to people who do not know a living relationship with my King. It's not always the easiest read and like anything I'm sure that you will find plenty on the web that will argue against some of his points, but as a whole this is a book that I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who wants to help their friends further along the road to discovering a new life in the Kingdom of God.

A highly recommended read
I have just finished reading Reason For God by Tim Keller. This is without a doubt the best apologetics book that I have read which looks at answering the objections that I as a Christian face. Tim Keller engages with the questions and does a fair amount to deconstruct rather than nuke, the arguments, which I found a challenge because I have been a bit of a 'nuker' in the past! He then goes on to say this is why it is totally reasonable and rational to believe in and follow Jesus. He doesn't offer absolute proofs, but instead builds a strong case by looking at the world in which we live and the dilemmas we all face.


Reinventing your organizational culture can lead to more efficient, leaner, and better performing organizations. But change can be difficult to bring about, even in the most forward-thinking organizations. The simple truth is that it is human nature to resist change. If you’re to turn your organization into a better outfit, these 5 books on organizational culture are an excellent starting point.
This is a book by Vineet Nayar, the former Chief Executive Officer of HCL Technologies. It is one of the primary – and best – literatures on the ‘put employees first’ concept. Mr. Nayar shows how he defied the conventional wisdom that businesses should put customers first, then turned this hierarchical pyramid upside down by making a firm’s management accountable to employees – and not the other way round. By following this approach, Nayar put HCLT on a path of transformation.
Study after study shows that employees are disengaged with their organizations. The majority of people are disillusioned and feel soulless and lifeless about their jobs. Deep down though, all people want is a soulful workplace, passion, purpose, community, and authenticity. Conventional wisdom says that the solution to this situation is enlightened leaders. But Frederic Laloux in his top selling book shows a new way to structure and run organizations.
Robert Richman’s culture blueprint is an essential guide on creating systems that scale a great workplace as the business grows. It is a blueprint for maintaining high levels of morale and employee engagement as the company grows – while at the same time providing a sense of ownership to everyone. This book shows the strategies for fostering enthusiastic and committed employees. Richman even explains how you can cultivate a culture that attracts the right employees and repels the wrong ones. The culture blueprint will teach you how to develop a culture that is just right.
This book delivers a breakthrough strategy for energizing organizations and creating accountability for results. Written by two New York Times bestselling authors, Change the Culture shows how business leaders can accomplish extraordinary results by effectively shaping the people culture. The book details how many organizations see accountability as something that just happens when things go wrong. They explain that the real accountability should be achieved via a proven step-by-step process to make things go right.
Last but not least on our list is Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don’t, a book by Simon Sinek. One of the best books on leadership, it explains how visionary leaders work for the people. They form a Circle of Safety within which people can collaborate and work together in amazing ways – towards creating long term success. This read is both practical and thought-provoking, and it provides amazing ideas and insights on how you can be an inspiring leader in any institution.


Have you got a pile of research papers cluttering up your bedroom? Do you dread opening them since you’re afraid to look at the heap of unfamiliar words? If so, then you should be aware that you’re not alone. Many college students and other folks like you’re in precisely the same boat. In fact, research papers for sale may be found all around the place. And the good news is that they are available rush-essays at a cost price.
The very first place you should look for when looking for research papers available is online. There are a lot of websites that offer university books at discounted rates. You just need to start looking for these sites. But prior to buying from an internet source, it’s important that you check their reputation to be certain they are reputable company.
You may also want to check out campus bookstores. These stores usually offer a section devoted specifically to the purchase of study papers. You are able to navigate the choices and choose one that’s suitable for your university studies. Usually these campus bookstores do not need any membership fee. However, you should keep in mind that research papers are usually per semester or quarter’s book, and so the price of the publication may go up based on the demand for this.
Another fantastic place to look for research papers available is at the libraries of your potential university. There are typically a couple available in the reading rooms. It is a great idea to have a look at their collection because you may have the ability to find something appropriate. Otherwise, there are also a great deal of departments in most schools that focus on particular academic areas and concentrate in research papers.
Additionally, there are local universities that offer research papers for sale. It would be best to check with them to see whether they’re offering the publications that you are interested in. The nice thing about going to a college is the simple fact that you get the chance to ask the librarian queries you will have concerning the topic matter of the research papers which they’re selling. This can allow you to get a better understanding of the topic.
There are a number of ways to buy research papers. The above mentioned are just a few of the available choices. You can even buy the research papers online, but this procedure can be quite difficult and does not provide you with the chance to ask any questions regarding the seller.

Cyndy Erickson gave me a book and an invitation last Christmas. The book is My Grandmother’s Hands by Resmaa Menakem. The invitation was to connect remotely with her, and others to talk about the book, its impact on us, and America’s relationship with race.
As we read and talked about the book over several months, I decided to create a new set of Mindfulness & Movement Activity Cards, that will take some of these powerful tools into classrooms. I shared the book with Sara, and we began working on The Growth Deck.
In the first chapters of My Grandmother’s Hands, Menakem writes about how all Americans, including Europeans, fled violence, plague and starvation. They were willing to leave the only world they knew and make the arduous journey to a place they could barely imagine. Think about moving to Mars!
I have to admit I hadn’t considered this, and I certainly hadn’t applied it to my own heritage. But truly, all the people who settled the American continent since the 15th century came from or through trauma. Whether risking their lives by choice, or by force.
My mother’s people came from Britain before the colonies rebelled against the British king and taxes. I’ve never done a lot of research, but they were likely fleeing religious persecution or destitution. My dad’s grandparents fled Germany in the 19th century to escape being conscripted to fight in the second Prussian war.
Menakem writes graphically about the atrocities they fled; it gave me nightmares. I had to stop reading the book before I went to sleep. Those nightmares alone convinced me there was truth to the premise of My Grandmother’s Hands.
Africans were kidnapped, survived the Middle Passage (or didn’t) and were enslaved in the Americas. They suffered trauma I have nothing in my background to compare. Menakem’s point is that we all have ancestral trauma we’re carrying in our bodies.
He asserts that recognizing our own trauma is key to healing the racial divide at the core of our country’s strife. It’s helpful to us White folks to consider our experience in ways that aren’t guilt and shame based.
Collective trauma causes us to go straight to our lizard brains when we see someone from a different race, or a police officer. We react with a flight, fight, freeze or freak out response. Menakem suggests we need to pause and settle so we can react rationally to people who look different from us.
In My Grandmother’s Hands, he offers exercises for settling. We’ve incorporated eight of them into the “Settle” section of The Growth Deck. The other two sections, “Create” and “Play” include more of his ideas.
“Create” offers eight activities using simple art supplies, including Zentangles and several watercolor techniques.
Eight activities connecting with nature, and just having fun are the essence of “Play.” If you’re curious about shinrin yoku (forest bathing) there are several in this section. There are even ideas you can use at your next party; Cooperative Musical Chairs anyone?
