Essay 4: Black Atolls: Tom Dale's Guide to a Galaxy
New York, 18 August 1918
In August 1918, during the First World War, Marcel Duchamp abandoned America for neutral Buenos Aires. This was neither his first nor his last self-imposed exile or displacement. A self-conscious antimilitarist, he systematically avoided any probable encounter with military recruitment during the two Great Wars, travelling between Europe and the United States accordingly.
One strange drawing, a sort of nautical chart dedicated to his friend Florine Stettheimer, serves to illustrate the trip he was about to make. Where Buenos Aires features on the map, Duchamp placed a large question mark in seeming affirmation of his nomadic nature: “I leave tomorrow for Buenos Aires for a year or 2 [sic], with no particular goal and without knowing a soul over there.” With him on the journey, he is taking the Sculpture de Voyage, one of the first installations of the 20th century – coloured rubber shower caps cut into strips, glued and hung with strings from the ceiling and on the walls, forming a peculiar cobweb. A nomadic work, made to travel, which, a few years later, disintegrated due to its fragile composition. Its form depended solely on the space and time in which it was installed, an ever-changing work – and consequently one with an ambiguous identity that transformed with every installation. The photographs witnessing its existence show a bizarre spatial grid generated from the cast shadows, les ombres portées, of the rubber strips, tangled with those of the readymades hanging in Duchamp’s studio.
In Buenos Aires, Duchamp created a number of other enigmatic works, such as the transparent To Be Looked at (from the Other Side of the Glass) with One Eye, Close to, for Almost an Hour. A magnifying lens, an oculist chart and a pyramid in three-dimensional perspective, compose the work – a precursor of the three oculist witnesses or the three “occultist” witnesses of the Large Glass. A night photo shows this small work made of glass hanging from a rope on a balcony, overlooking the South American city. It functions as a transmitter or receiver of signals, an autonomous but also an intermediate surface, a mapped system (medium-place-time-energy).
Another Buenos Aires work, the Handmade Stereopticon Slide, is a stereoscopic slide demonstrating Duchamp’s interest in three-dimensional effects produced through two-dimensional media: it features a pyramid and its reflection drawn in pencil on a seascape horizon. Viewed with a stereoscope or stereoscopic glasses, this double pyramid seems to float on the water, challenging once more the apparent spatial reality.
Perhaps, it is the Unhappy Readymade, the wedding present to his sister Suzanne, an Euclidean geometry book sent to her from Buenos Aires to Paris by post, hung (again) with ropes from her balcony and surrendered to the elements of nature –getting wet, fading and being torn apart– which reveals how problematic a conventional spatio-temporal categorization, classification and identification of the world is, while simultaneously, through its decomposition, activating a separate field of understanding and recording.
Nicosia, 4 November 2015
In November 2015, in times of [artistic] mobility and dislocations of all kinds, Tom Dale generated a series of complex nebulae, a new body of enigmatic work entitled Black Atolls, inside NiMAC’s exhibition space in Nicosia, Cyprus. Unlike Duchamp, Dale chooses to be not too far away from the troubled realities in the Mediterranean: before coming to Nicosia, the capital of the postcolonial island of Cyprus, he had a short residency in Izmir, Turkey, one of the places from where some of the refugee “boats” depart.
On the other hand, Dale comes from Great Britain, where he lives and works permanently. Although the exhibition at NiMAC was presented before the referendum on the Brexit, it should be stressed that this text was completed after this important event. Observing Dale’s works and perspective retrospectively, we can see that the Mediterranean dimension that the artist originally attributed to his installations, acquire a much broader, more universal and [perhaps] more tragic dimension.
One could argue that the Mediterranean, this “liquid continent”, is “the irrational underbelly that brings disorder, border breaching, colonial phantoms, and an uncanny claim to a common, mythically glorious, ancient past.” On the other hand, the tragedies currently taking place in this enclosed sea, bring again to the fore its importance as an extremely political and politicised space. This multifaceted and complicated entity, for years marginalised in western eyes as an orientalist haven of corruption and backwardness, has become again an obvious and unavoidable focus of political action.
For his Mediterranean endeavours, Dale proposes an intricate travel guide, a spatio-temporal map of his nebulae, albeit in a duchampian manner. His research focuses upon how evidence of these nebulae and the undefined space of exchange, where signs, symbols, images, and abstract information mix freely, manifests itself.
Dale’s [intergalactic] Mediterranean journey takes off on a small one-propeller aircraft; one of those that carry adverts along the beach. Terminal Blue is a giant-sized colour swatch towed across the sky by an airplane, which details the shift of colour from dark blue to light blue. The work invites the spectator to define the colour of the sky on that particular day. Using commercially available colours and names, the work asks us to name or define the infinite. Would the passengers of “the boats” be able to identify the colour of the sky or that of the sea? How can we, therefore, determine the colour frequency of infinity? In fact, are we in a position to do so? Is infinity the end? This is the question that arises as we enter this visual labyrinth.
Soon afterwards, we are welcomed by an inflated giant and fury architectural spider, produced using unconventional material. This modular construction entitled Last Night Was Different, takes its inspiration from Sol Lewitt’s Incomplete Open Cubes series (1974). The work takes a rational or logical approach and complicates it by making an object to which there is an immediate response or gut reaction. Last Night was Different acts as a meeting point between the rational and the irrational. After all, this is reflected in the entire world of Dale, which, in this particular instance, has many similarities with the world of Marcel Duchamp. This is the point where a subtle (or not so subtle) irony meets the point where the beginning starts and the end is finished.
However, this fury artistic construction is not the only “trap” hidden in Dale’s universe. The next stop of this strange spatio-temporal circuit, Dale’s ombres portées, takes the form of a greyish show jumping course inside the exhibition space. According to Dale, using show jumping fences that are both an obstacle and a corporate advert, the work is interested in the ways we use language to give meaning. Drained of their original colour [and painted in an indistinct grey], the sculptures [which act like shadows] still retain some of the energy and excitement of this intended use. However, Light of Dead Stars (which is how the installation is called) considers the way in which language is both limiting and liberating. The work highlights the threat of homogenising cultural meaning and identity. At the same time, this monochromatic maze projects its greyish three dimensional shadows on the white space of the gallery acting like a section of another, fourth dimensional reality. A reality whose coordinates we can only sense while walking through this labyrinthine construct. What we perceive as homogenised [and mutilated], could act as a threshold to an inconceivable [and exciting and funny] experience.
Light of Dead Stars leads to a dale of atolls, Dale’s Split Atoll, Double Cache, an installation lying in the heart of the exhibition space. Atolls are very small areas of land in the sea that often only break the surface of the water. They are statistically and politically of more importance than their actual size. Rising from the floor and extending from the walls, a series of “Atolls” or sculptural tableaux use carpets taken from a mixture of abandoned and condemned interior spaces. Incisions into the body of the carpets open them out to operate like portals to redundant destinations, dead ends for hopes and aspirations. For the artist, they are objects that problematise images, highlighting the way in which too quickly images become the definition of an object or experience, but also a mask for it. Taking as its starting point the modern man-made ruins –the modern deserted architectural constructions– scattered across the landscape, Dale’s research documents and presents the ways in which it is possible to live and negotiate with this abstract space on a day-to-day level.
Somehow prophetically, these “condemned sculptures” look like deserted small islands in the white ocean of the gallery floor. And despite their “Mediterranean” origin, these strange building zombies, abandoned and mutilated, can only evoke (in retrospect, of course) the memory of another [larger] island which marginally decided to “take its fate in its own hands”.
Deeper in this intergalactic journey, we encounter multiple facets of the artist’s restless personality. A sonic cacophony welcomes us at the next stop. The Vanishing Mediator is a sound installation made up of field recordings of crowds and audiences at different events. At times, individual voices can be heard, while at others the crowd speaks in a unified way. Throughout the recording, it is hard to distinguish the force and the direction of the words being spoken by the crowds.
The confusion caused is somewhat made more subtle by the meditative character of the video Leaf Blowers. The banal task of collecting leaves takes on a meditative dimension as the sound of the two leaf blowers moves between harmony and disharmony. The film is interested in how mundane tasks can become something more contemplative and personal. It also considers the way in which we are able to find a space for ourselves within the demands of work.
Right after this, comes Dale’s work After London, a film narrated by a London tour guide, who hasn’t given this specific tour of London for eight years. It is a combination of personal and cultural history, which highlights the struggle to negotiate these two very different forms of understanding of the past.
In an open space during the tour in Dale’s galaxy, an intense white light illuminates small sculptures that seem to tease and play with our senses. One such instance is the Variations of Touch. A wall construction consisting of a pair of blinds behind which similar objects are arranged in different ways, sometimes reflecting and other times contradicting one another. The work illustrates the process of simple question and answer that takes place as ideas are formed.
Next to it, on a white museum pedestal, lies a stone with a small flashing red light. Is it a talisman with magical properties? Could it be a meteorite from a distant galaxy? Dale’s work Rock On-Standby resembles a sculpture that considers the ways in which in our days we expect all objects to be animated in some way or another. The flashing light could possibly have a more humane and down-to-earth meaning: it is reminiscent of household appliances that are ready to entertain us or perform some repetitive or menial task.
The last stop may perhaps conceal the tragic truth of this journey. A journey about man, with man but yet without man. The film Feeding Machines shows a moving escalator operating in an abandoned mall of the 1980s packed with empty clothes: pants, shirts, jackets. The shift from one level down to another takes on an altogether more loaded interpretation when empty clothing accumulates at the bottom of the escalator. The clothing and the relentlessness of the escalator suggest the fragile relationship between the individual and social mechanisms that organise them. Arbeit macht frei?
The journey is concluded with Dale’s work A Cage for Voices, which is a new film work made underwater in Izmir, Turkey. The work may be considered as much a sound work as it is a film. Disembodied voices narrate the slow fall of rocks thrown into the ocean, whilst boats pass overhead. Filmed from the seabed to the sea surface, the film monitors this silent ritual over and over. A journey that seems to never end. And one that portends many, too many, countless repetitions. Just as in the case of the moving escalator, this repetitive sequence records slowly and steadily the path to the end. Somewhere here the happy and unhappy readymades of Tom Dale seem to understand very well how problematic a conventional perception of the world is. Marcel Duchamp folds the map, the plane lands, the decomposition continues...

How To Write A Successful Compilation Book
Compilation books are a tool that allows authors to leverage of other people's knowledge and expertise. It is an incredibly useful technique if you lack certain knowledge or experience, and is a way of compensating for that lack of information.
Due to their nature, compilation books can be the perfect medium for combining a mix of 'how-to' and inspirational content. Some of the ways to create a compilation book are:
Ask the right question
A book written by Professor Alan Schneider and released around the same time as the Sydney 2000 Olympics asked the question, 'What makes a champion?' Schneider sent out a proposal to a couple of hundred high-profile people saying, “Can you please write between 500 and 1,000 words on what you believe makes a champion?” From those responses, 54 were selected and put together in a book which he called, 'What Makes a Champion?'
…then personalise the answers
'What's the Most Important Lesson You've Learned in you Life?' was a similar book to Schneider's in that it posed a big question to high-profile people. However, the author of this book went one step further and asked the contributors to handwrite their answers on a personal letterhead. So for the final product, the book featured handwritten letters from people like Michael Jordanm, Whoopie Goldberg, Colin Powell and others.
Stories and chapters
Some authors collect a series of stories that revolve around a central theme. The 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' Series is an example of this. Articles can also be used in a similar manner. You can also invite people to write an entire chapter in order to provide a variety of angles for your book. This is a good idea if your book is lacking certain expertise and knowledge.
For example, if you were producing a book on cycling then you can have chapter on what to look for when buying a bike written by the owner of a bike store; a chapter about mountain bikes written by a mountain biker; a chapter about competitive cycling by a professional cyclist.
Q & A
Another way to produce a compilation book is by using an interview-like approach where questions are presented to experts. This is a way to seek out important information that is lacking in the market and provide solutions to questions wanted to know by potential readers.
It's difficult to be an expert on all things. Compilation books allow you to tap into the knowledge and expertise of other specialists. This is important if you want to cover a variety of angles for a particular topic. The key to compilation books is to identify a gap in the market and then find the people who can help you fill that demand.

Three-quarters of Americans believe that a group of unelected government and military officials secretly manipulate or direct national policy in the United States. President Trump blames the “deep state” for his impeachment. But what is the American “deep state” and does it really exist? To conservatives, the “deep state” is an ever-growing government bureaucracy, an “administrative state” that relentlessly encroaches on the individual rights of Americans. Liberals fear the “military-industrial complex”—a cabal of generals and defense contractors who they believe routinely push the country into endless wars. Every modern American president—from Carter to Trump—has engaged in power struggles with Congress, the CIA, and the FBI. Every CIA and FBI director has suspected White House aides of members of Congress of leaking secrets for political gain. Frustrated Americans increasingly distrust the politicians, unelected officials, and journalists who they believe unilaterally set the country’s political agenda. American democracy faces its biggest crisis of legitimacy in a half century. This sweeping exploration examines the CIA and FBI scandals of the past fifty years, from the Church Committee’s exposure of Cold War abuses, to Abscam, to false intelligence about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, to NSA mass surveillance revealed by Edward Snowden. It then investigates the claims and counterclaims of the Trump era, and the relentless spread of conspiracy theories online and on-air. While Trump says he is the victim of the “deep state,” Democrats accuse the president and his allies of running a de facto “deep state” of their own that operates outside official government channels and smears rivals, both real and perceived. The feverish debate over the “deep state” raises core questions about the future of American democracy. Is it possible for career government officials to be politically neutral? Was Congress’s impeachment of Donald Trump conducted properly? How vast should the power of a president be? Based on dozens of interviews with career CIA operatives and FBI agents, In Deep answers whether the FBI, CIA, or politicians are protecting or abusing the public’s trust.

All About Me...
The MacMania Museum was created by Macintosh fanatic TheNeil. It's not in any way connected to Apple or any profit making organisation (or indeed ANY organisation but if anyone wishes to bequeath me a fortune then that's alright with me, I suppose) - just me sat at various machines typing up various bits of information and filling my time.
I've been a Mac user ever since I bought my first second hand Macintosh (an SE/30) in 2001 and have been totally addicted ever since. An ardent collector here in the UK I don't have what could be considered a definitive collection of Macs but I have more machines than is generally considered to be healthy. This site is a way of sharing my experiences and knowledge and detailing the great little machines that have binged and started with a smiley Mac face. I certainly don't know everything though and there's always something new to learn - if I get it wrong, please let me know. And as well as being a nice human being it's also a way of documenting my own collection.
Away from the Mac world I'm something of a traitor, being a PC software developer by day (client/server stuff - nothing to get excited about) and a artist by night. Is it possible for one person to lead a more boring and nerdy life? I suppose in my defence I could say that at least I don't spend all my time reading books about networking or getting excited about the latest graphics card.
I've become a published author with two books about growing up with Asperger Syndrome (available here and here), and seem to spend far too much time writing about antique computer hardware - most of which is in the articles section.
This is in no way a definitive list but these are the books that I turn to when I get stuck or just want to find stuff out!

I, myself, am a pretty big fan of Wattpad. I mainly got an account to read fan fictions if I’m completely honest. Even wrote a few myself (let’s not talk about those). Anyways I thought I would list some of my favourite novels that are on Wattpad that I believe everyone should read!
Note: none of the listed recommendations are fan fictions. Also, I tried my best to sort the novels into several categories! – All of the novel synopsis have been taken from the Wattpad pages themselves.

Employees were fired for little things like being a minute late to a tiny typo on a report. Everyone in the company knew about his horrible personality and avoided him as if he was the devil himself. When his personal secretary is fired for the 3rd time that month and nobody wanted to be the replacement, the Human Resources department had no choice but to offer an apartment and an income of your choice.
What will happen when these two are brought together?

Not in the mood for dating or a new woman after the discovery of his cheating ex, he hires a perfect candidate as his girlfriend in Alexandra Stewart. Alex, however, thinks he’s crazy and only when he commits a sinful lie that would damned his manhood forever does she agree to help. He convinces her that he is gay and that the possibility of his family finding out would ruin them financially and socially. Now Jay has to pretend to be batting for the other team. This is no easy task where the geeky turn sexy Alex is concerned because he wants her in his bed, and what Jay wants, he gets.

Reading is an excellent way to use our free time productively. This may seem counterintuitive initially, as sitting down to read is probably not your first choice when considering increasing your productivity.
However, reading is one of the simplest ways to learn tips, tricks, and tools to implement daily. You need to find a good book on productivity with reliable content, which can be difficult due to the multitude of options.
At Rambox, we work to help you be more productive, both in your personal and professional life. For that reason, we have created a list, under our criteria and experience, of the best five productivity books in 2023.
- Why you should read productivity books
- Top productivity books: find what you need
- Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport
- Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity by David Allen
- The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change by Stephen R. Covey
- How to be a Productivity Ninja: Worry Less, Achieve More and Love What You Do by Graham Allcott
- How to Stop Procrastinating: A Simple Guide to Mastering Difficult Tasks and Breaking the Procrastination Habit by S.J. Scott
- How can Rambox help you be more productive?
Before recommending book titles, we want you to know the advantages of spending time on this kind of reading.
First of all, reading daily has multiple advantages, among them:
- Improved vocabulary.
- Improved spelling.
- It boosts the imagination.
- It is a powerful remedy against stress.
- It strengthens commitment and willpower.
According to the European Statistical Office, Europeans spend less than 10 minutes daily reading. According to Pew Research, 26% of Americans in the United States admit to not having read a single book in the last year. From these data, the adult population spends little time reading and should be encouraged to do so.
Reading at least one book a year will improve your spelling and vocabulary, reduce your stress levels and boost your willpower. If, in addition, the book you choose to read is focused on productivity, it will also help you to be more effective in your work and daily life. These kinds of books are usually simple and easy to read, so finishing them will be easy if you do not have a good reading habit.
Reading books on productivity is an excellent investment of time. They offer you tips, tricks, and tools that you can immediately implement in your daily life.
These five titles we recommend below are an excellent selection if you are looking for productivity tips and tricks to solve various problems and needs. Be sure to read our descriptions to find the one that’s right for you.
Deep Work is a book that focuses on eliminating the modern world’s clutter, noise, and distractions. Removing these aspects makes it possible to focus on deep and productive work.
Deep work consists of professional activities performed in total concentration for extended periods. Working in this state has the following advantages:
- You will acquire the ability to learn complicated things and complex subjects more quickly.
- You will be able to produce high-quality results with the knowledge you possess.
This will bring you new value, strengthen your skills and cognitive abilities and allow you to produce at your best.
Getting to this state of concentration and maintaining it over time can be especially difficult in the world of technology, so if you need tips and advice on simplifying and eliminating distractions in your work, this book is for you.
This book is based on the Getting Things Done (GTD) method, which assures that the more information you retain in your memory, the lower your productivity and concentration. It is one of the best reads on time management and how to avoid procrastination.
The GTD method is widely used today due to its effectiveness and easy implementation. It has five simple steps:
- Capture: before organizing your work, you must take it out of your memory and put it in an external tool that the author calls “inbox”.
- Process: once you have captured all the elements, you must process them. This step is based on converting the captured information into concrete tasks.
- Organize: having processed the information, you must now sort it and move your tasks according to their project, urgency, or importance.
- Review: tasks may change their priority, so it is essential to review the functions and clearly understand the importance and urgency of each job.
- Do: this is the step where you will do the most work. After you have cleared your mind and organized all the tasks, the only thing left to do is to start working on them.
Implementing this method in your daily life will help you reduce the cognitive load the mental effort. You will stop multitasking; you will focus on something concrete and have a clear idea of the pending work.
This is the perfect book for those who need help overcoming feelings of confusion, anxiety, or overwhelm at work.
This book has sold, since its publication in 1989, more than 25 million copies worldwide. It is a self-improvement book because the author is convinced that the way we see the world is based on our perceptions.
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People focuses on what he describes as “character ethics.” This ethic is achieved by forming and following a series of seven habits:
- Be proactive: the ability to examine your character, decide how you view yourself and your situations, and monitor your effectiveness.
- Start with the end in mind: you must begin everything you do with a clear destination and purpose. That way, you will ensure that the steps you take go in the right direction.
- Put first things first: be disciplined to prioritize your day-to-day actions based on what is most important, not most urgent.
- Think win-win: commit to creating situations and relationships that are mutually beneficial and satisfying to each party.
- Seek first to understand, then to be understood: before you can offer advice or solutions, you must seek to deeply understand the other person and their perspective through empathetic listening.
- Synergize: when you understand and value the differences in another person’s perspective, you can create synergy, which allows you to discover new possibilities through openness and creativity.
- Sharpen the saw: to be effective, you must spend time renewing yourself physically, spiritually, mentally, and socially. Continuous renewal will allow you to increase your ability to practice each habit synergistically.
This book is a good productivity read if you are more interested in long-term behavior modification than quick tricks.
How to be a Productivity Ninja is a book that transforms time management techniques and explains how to work smarter by adapting to the realities of today’s workplace.
With more and more people working in demanding, fast-paced roles today, traditional productivity advice, such as “get up 30 minutes earlier every day” is outdated.
This book focuses on the fact that productivity is a learned skill. For this reason, learning to work focused, perfecting workflows, and time management tricks can help you be more productive, work your set hours and enjoy your free time with less stress.
Ninjas are not known for being unconventional, so the tips in this book are different too. This book is suitable for people who tend to procrastinate and multitask.
How to Stop Procrastinating: A Simple Guide to Mastering Difficult Tasks and Breaking the Procrastination Habit by S.J. Scott
This is one of the best books on improving productivity in procrastinating people. How to Stop Procrastinating is a simple guide to mastering complex tasks in a straightforward, systematic framework that will create an action-oriented habit in all parts of your life.
Procrastination can lead to many problems, such as poor grades, poor performance at work, poor diet, or health problems. For these reasons, the author considers it essential to eliminate these tendencies with the “anti-procrastination habit” through a series of practical tips.
This book aims at those who procrastinate, let some tasks slip away, or leave all their work to the last minute.

Summer Research Program
This summer, we are hosting our very first free virtual summer program!
Our 3 co-founders, Janaksha, Vanessa, Ashley, drew from our experiences in high school, and realized we were not equipped with the research and literacy skills needed for first-year, research positions, and internships. As well, our university level volunteers have discussed the competitiveness of obtaining a research position. That is why we decided to look into the literature to find if there really exists a needs assessment.
- We found that faculty and librarians at Ontario universities reported that first year students are less prepared for university, especially in information literacy skills, than in the past (OCUFA, 2009)
- University students themselves also report having low confidence in their research and basic academic skills (Grayson et al 2019).
- We also found that there is a pervasive lack of equal representation compounds socioeconomic barriers to higher education, further reducing the likelihood of marginalized learners entering and staying in academia (Walkington et al 2017).
To combat these needs, literature suggests that mentorship is vital element to combat these discrepancies. And hence, the research program aims to resolve this need!

Allow me to share with you these Free Case Brief Templates in MS Word and PDF format to help draft your Free Case Brief Templates. You can also download our Creative Brief Templates and Job Description Templates.
This is not to say that a law student should ignore other forms of writing, but rather that if you need assistance in researching and writing your brief, then consider using a template. This is not a requirement for passing the state bar exam, but it can help to make sure that your brief is error-free and prepared properly.
These templates are created to assist law firms in their case preparations. They include most of the fields that you may expect, including references and a table of contents.
What to Include in a Case Brief?
The first field, Citation, is a list of all the sources used in support of your brief. It should include the full names of all the authors or the person or institution giving the opinion, together with a citation citing these sources.
The second field, References, would list the sources used by other people. It is particularly important to use sources cited by others as an illustration of the quality of your research.
Table of Contents:
The third field, Table of Contents, may be subdivided into chapters, subchapters, headings, notes, appendices, and page references. Each chapter should contain a concise overview of the whole case, together with footnotes, the author’s name, the references page, and the date. This is useful when drafting a brief for a client. Footnotes serve as additional support when citing various facts in your legal documents.
Cite Court Record Sources:
Citing Court Record Sources is an extremely important part of legal writing. While browsing through a case citation, it is important to be able to know where to find a particular matter. This would make referencing much easier, and would also help in case you need to show a Court record source that is not included in your citation. In case you cannot find such an item in your citation, it would help to contact the clerk’s office or the court for information regarding the record.
A fourth field is the Court Report, which includes a lot of information related to the case brief itself. Illustrative examples include the background of parties, schedule of events, list of exhibits, the full text of pleadings, conclusions, opinions, concurrences, and order. All of this could be found in a separate document filed by the attorneys representing the opposing sides in the case. While Court Reports are often very detailed, they can be very long if you wish to elaborate and use a lot of detail. This would make writing the same case brief a lot easier.
Digest of Court Materials:
Fifthly, a Digest of Court Materials is the sixth field to be mentioned. Such a digest can serve as a ready list to aid in searching for specific factual information. It lists the case summary, list of exhibits, arguments, briefs, transcriptions, supplemental pleadings, decisions, opinions, and order of appeals. It also lists the names of the parties involved and their addresses, along with links to their cases. A Digest can make it much easier to access all the pertinent facts needed to support your brief.
Finally, you may want to consider using Case Brief Templates to create a simple layout and outline for your brief. Creating an effective outline will make your writing process faster and more efficient, as well as make it easier to review and edit later on. With a well-constructed outline, it will be easier to make sure that all the various facts and arguments that should be included in your brief are organized and placed in the appropriate paragraphs.
These cases brief templates are just some of the many different types and styles that a law student can utilize to construct their legal brief. While you can certainly spend weeks or months thinking about what facts and arguments would make your brief the best one possible, the best way to ensure your brief is the most effective, and that it is error-free, is to make sure you use templates that were designed to assist law students in their research.

Here’s an aromatic story to begin your day . . . a mythical tale of the origin of coffee from a faraway land:
Once upon a time, in an exotic land, in a country called Ethiopia, there was a fine goat herder named Kaldi, who suddenly awakened from a rather restless night to discover his goats behaving with somewhat balletic grace. One of his old bucks was kicking up dust and cavorting around like a kid goat and the rest of the herd, well, to be tactful, they were quite rambunctious.
Upon further investigation, he discovered that they were quickly and happily consuming the berries of a native bush. Still recovering from his fitful sleep, Kaldi, pinching himself to make sure he really was awake, decided that what’s obviously good for the goat must be good for the goat herder. He thus descended upon the bush with abandon, gulping berries with unbridled enthusiasm!
Soon he became full of vigor, completely forgetting his bad night, and joined in the happy dance with his goats. It would have been a sad thing that day if Kaldi had taken this discovery to his grave but, thankfully, fate took a much kinder twist.
One fine day a monk happened by to discover a mesmerizing ballet of sorts going on with Kaldi and his goats. In his astonishment, he questioned Kaldi in regards to the origin of such riotous celebration. Kaldi joyfully shared the story of the bush and the magical berries.
The monk, being a wise old soul, perceived the magical enlightening berries as a divine revelation of sorts, a gift from God as it were, solving his problem of falling sound asleep during meditation. He saw it as a way to help his brothers solve similar problems with focus and concentration desperately needed during long hours on the cushion!
He then spent many days experimenting with the cleaning, drying, and grinding of the berries and the making of a “tea”. Thus, Kaldi and the wise old monk, however inadvertently, gave the priceless gift of coffee to the world!**
And the Mocha Muse gives you the last drop of magic to start your day.
(**This story was inspired by my memory of a tale from Lakota Coffee Company and several other sources that spoke of a mythical goat herder.)

I’ve been inspired to try a new style for writing up my latest library conference experience by my colleague Jess Haigh and her brilliant LILAC write up. So credit for the more structured format for this reflective piece goes to Jess!
I attended Meeting the Reading List Challenge at Loughborough University, April 5th-6th 2016. I presented at the event, alongside Alison Sharman, about the strategies for staff engagement with reading lists at the University of Huddersfield. Part of the presentation was specifically focused on my current project based role at the University, which is all about Business School reading lists. As my full time job is all about reading lists, I was particularly excited about this event as an opportunity to share my own experiences and see if I could find inspiration from others to try new things.
- Reading List versus Resource List – What do we call them?
- Intellectual Property and Open Data
- Staff and Student Engagement
What was the best thing I learned? There were lots of brilliant ideas shared about getting staff and students engaged with reading lists. My talk on staff engagement was complemented by the following presentations which also dealt largely with issues of staff engagement:
- If at first you don’t succeed… by Sarah Rayner and Olivia Walsby (University of Manchester)
- Co-ordinating complexity by Sara Hafeez (University of Westminster)
Both these presentations were very reassuring. I don’t feel alone in my struggles! Manchester focused on sharing their failings which was refreshingly honest and very useful. Sara from Westminster had some great stories to tell about trying to co-ordinate reading lists in her organisation. The presentations left me feeling inspired, with new ideas of things to try out.
What was the most though provoking idea? Open data proved to be an interesting discussion. We were asked to think about how reading list data could be useful for the library, the academic faculty, and the institution. Also about how useful reading list data from other institutions could be and what barriers there are for sharing this? It is this second part that led to discussions about the intellectual property surround reading lists came into this debate. If we start to share reading list content as open data then does it cause intellectual property problems and issues for universities in a competitive educational market?
What do I want to learn more about? I’m going to learn more about open data because Martin Hamilton’s talk highlighted that I don’t know very much about this at all.
- Top down policy v academic driven processes
- Reading list best practice
- Engagement again!
What was the best thing I learned? I surprised myself by enjoying the two vendor presentations. A lot of people left in the break before these, and I was tempted, as we have our own in-house system. I’m glad I stayed as it was very interesting to see what commercial systems are currently on offer and learn about their features.
What was the most inspirational idea? The turning your reading list into a conversation workshop from Sheffield Hallam. We did a group activity to build an engaging and interactive reading list with the help of big paper, pens, glue and lots of bits of paper with example reading list items on. Could this be used to teach academics about best practice for creating reading lists? It might work at a department away day for example. To make it effective I’d need to team up with someone with expertise in teaching to make sure pedagogical issues could be properly included.
What do I want to learn more about? Library systems. I found all the discussions surrounding the technical aspects of library systems interesting and the processes involved in the procurement of a new system. The presentation from Kingston about being a development partner with Leganto was fascinating. I can see myself enjoying working in this area of librarianship so I’m going to start building my knowledge of this area.


Sir Salman Rushdie is one of the most celebrated authors of our time—of any time. A brilliant provocateur, he’s penned a handful of classic novels, influenced a generation of writers, and received a Queen’s Knighthood for his “services to literature.” He stands as both a pop culture icon and one of the most thought-provoking proponents for free speech today.
Sir Salman Rushdie’s novels, greeted always with anticipation and acclaim, include The Satanic Verses, The Moor’s Last Sigh, The Ground Beneath Her Feet and 2008’s The Enchantress of Florence. For his masterwork of magic realism, Midnight’s Children, he won the presitigious Booker Prize, and later, the Best of the Booker. The novel has since been adapted to film by the Academy Award-nominated director, Deepa Mehta, and premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. He is also the author of bestselling memoir Joseph Anton. Sir Salman Rushdie’s Luka and the Fire of Life is a children’s novel and a companion to Haroun and the Sea of Stories. His newest novel is Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights.
An eclectic writer and noted public intellectual, Rushdie has won many of the world’s top literary prizes, published a heralded collection of essays, Step Across the Line, written a book on The Wizard of Oz, and served for two years as president of The PEN American Center, the world’s oldest human rights organization.
- "Hands down, from multiple sources: the best lecture we’ve had. We filled our hall to capacity (2,000). Mr. Rushdie was substantive, charming, funny, and fully human—nothing short of brilliant." - Boise State

One day, a flamboyant stranger rides into the village, upsetting the fragile balance of everyday life.
|The Summer Book

The elf hill
kids fiction , 9-12
3 seasons | 156 episodes | 12 min
The rebellious elven prince Dagmar is banished from the magical in-between world (where the elves live) into the human world, where he has to learn to improve his life as a foster son of the Ranonkel family. But Dagmar is not sent to the human world for nothing, he has a secret mission, which has to do with a clubhouse, the Elf Hill, and the lost meteorite Oxus, the ancient power source of the elven magic. To complicate matters, he is not allowed to use his magical powers.
A modern fairy tale that will appeal to young and old.
Dagmar, the elven prince, is 17. Because he finds his son’s behaviour spoilt and irresponsible, Dagmar’s father, King Zirkos, sends him to the human world. He ends up with a pleasantly eccentric host family: the Ranonkel family.
Dagmar anxiously tries to keep his identity secret, which is rather difficult when you have a pair of wings on your back. It soon turns out that Dagmar has actually been sent to the human world on an important mission and that he didn’t end up with the Ranonkels by chance...
Not far from the village there is a place that has been called 'The Elf Hill’ since time immemorial. And that's exactly where some local youngsters have set up their clubhouse of the same name.
What does this Elf Hill have to do with Dagmar's mission? And will he be able to bring his mission to a successful end?
The rebellious crown prince from Season 1 is now a man with a mission. According to the oracle, Dagmar is the only one who can find the meteorite Oxus and thus save the Between World and all the elves from destruction. Luckily, he can rely on the help of Billy and Wiki, who have meanwhile found out his true identity. Unfortunately, they are not the only ones. When a rich wing collector gets his hands on Oxus, he offers Dagmar a deal: his freedom in exchange for the precious meteorite. Going against everyone’s advice, Dagmar leaves for the collector’s castle alone… with all the subsequent consequences.
In the third and final series, we follow the further adventures of elven prince Dagmar and his human foster family and friends. Will the youngsters manage to keep their club house now that Elf ill Woods is about to be sold? And above all: will Dagmar and his friends find the magical meteorite Oxus?

'Montreal Worships' is a compilation of contemporary Christian, praise and worship songs - and a Hymn - from Montreal that proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord!
In 1864 William R. Featherston wrote the words to the hymn 'My Jesus, I Love Thee'. He was just sixteen years old.
He died before his twenty-seventh birthday.
He wouldn't have had far to look from the Church he attended on Rue. Ste. Catherine in Montreal towards Mont-Royal to view the stately mansions of what is now upper Westmount. The fourth verse of 'My Jesus, I Love Thee' begins with the words- "In mansions of glory, and endless delight", and they point beyond temporary worldly grandeur to the eternal Glory that the Lord Jesus Christ is building for those that are His own.
In 1876, the year after Wm. Featherston's death, Adoniram Gordon added the well known score to complete the Hymn.
'My Jesus, I Love Thee' is the signature song of, and the words of Wm. Featherston form the title to the music project; 'Montreal Worships'; "In Mansions of Glory & Endless Delight."
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD!


Heat Health in Hong Kong: Overview of collaborations and projects to protect health from urban heat
This case study provides an overview of the active heat health collaborations, projects and research ongoing in Hong Kong and presented during the First Global Forum on Heat and Health.
Hong Kong faces unique challenges from environmental hazards, such as climate change and variability, due to its densely populated and almost entirely urbanized living environment. An increased vulnerability to the urban heat island effect means that its inhabitants are more susceptible to the harmful, and sometimes deadly, health effects of extreme heat. This case study exemplifies how a multidisciplinary partners and agencies are collaborating to protect the most vulnerable communities.


“Finding Marco” was selected by Conversations Magazine as one of their “Top 100 Books of 2010”
Since 2008 Conversations’ “Top 100 Books” has been recognized for being the largest list each year that fairly gathers the best titles released by traditional publishing houses, small presses and even self-published authors worldwide of all genres and gives them the due they deserve. Cyrus Webb, the founder of the Conversations brand, has been an avid reader all of his life and has worked hard to make sure that there is something on the list for everyone.
This year there were so many great books that Webb had a chance to enjoy that he decided to add two new features in 2010: a Children’s/Young Adult category and a Honorable Mention category for both fiction and non-fiction. Webb also has included the publishing houses for each title to make is easier for you to identify.
It did not take long for me to be captured and almost feel like a witness to your impending struggle to find a balance between your still fervent and ambitious forces for material/corporate success and the altruistic morals your grandfather introduced to you during your adolescence.
As I read on I become more and more curious to find out if and how these two competing forces will be able to co-habit within your inner self. After reading Finding Marco I can understand why you felt the urge ( need?) to write its sequel. In it you manage to engage the reader, to take him to
a higher intellectual level by allowing him to become a very close witness to your internal struggle..
This is by far the best book I have had the pleasure to read in a very long time. Your description of the colline of the Amalfi coast, the narrow and ancient streets of Acerenza are such that the reader feels as if he is in the back seat of your Fiat 500 with you driving and your Marina in the passenger seat.


This page contains catalogs and data products from our search for binary star systems using data release 16 (DR16) of the APOGEE surveys. The generation of these catalogs and some initial results are described in Price-Whelan et al. 2020 (PW20).
All code related to this project can be found in this GitHub repository.
This file contains maximum a posteriori values of the orbital parameters for binary systems that have unimodal (i.e., uniquely determined) posterior samplings; additional quality cuts are described in PW20. The uncertainties on the orbital parameters (_err columns) are estimated using percentiles from the 1D (marginal) distributions. Along with the orbital parameter columns, this file also contains all columns from the APOGEE DR16 allStar file, the Gaia DR2 source file, and primary star mass estimates from the STARHORSE2019 catalog of stellar parameters.
Orbital parameters for binaries with bimodal samplings (551 sources)
This table contains two rows per system for all systems with bimodal posterior samplings over orbital period. Within each mode, the maximum a posteriori sample is reported.
Metadata for all APOGEE sources in the parent sample (Table 2 in PW20) (232,495 sources)
This file contains metadata computed from the orbital parameter samplings for all APOGEE stars in our parent sample. See the description of Table 2 in PW20.
This file contains the same columns as in Table 2 and in the metadata file above, but only contains sources that were identified as candidate binary star systems based on the orbital parameter samplings.
Here is a short tutorial that demonstrates how to use some of the data products linked above. Please let me know if anything is unclear, or if you would like to see other specific examples.

Book Review: Venetian Republic
While not wine-centric, a book of exquisite recipes from an ancient wine region should
be savored. We have been devouring Venetian Republic: Recipes from the Veneto, Adriatic Croatia, and the Greek Islands by Nino Zoccali this past week. Full of exquisite photographs of both the recipes and the scenery, this book brightens a late autumn day. As expected from the region's cuisine, the recipes are seafood centric, but they are full of special supper ideas for when we can gather again. While the book description does promise more history than is actually delivered, the rest of the book more than makes up for it.
Recipe from the book:
Zabaglione (a custard made with fortified wine)
8 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup Mavrodaphne (or another local quality fortified sweet red wine)
Half fill a pot with water and bring to a simmer. In a heat resistant bowl, whisk all ingredients together. Place the bowl over the pot of simmering water and whisk for ten minutes until the mixture thickens to custard consistency.
Pour the custard into serving glasses or pudding cups. Serve with shortbread cookies or by itself.


A number of countries in Asia have created a comparable set of male or female roles for individuals who. In some https://myhotbride.com/asian/pakistani-brides countries, women have typically performed higher offices and had more usage of power than their male counterparts. These types of gender functions may be more ambiguous in a few Asian places than others.
For example , in Hk and Taiwan, gender stereotypes remain firmly in place. Women are portrayed as psychological supporters of normal people and as intimate objects of desire. But also in these and also other Asian financial systems, in addition there are increasing options for women like us.
Yet , in order to take on more dominant jobs in modern culture, women must overcome several challenges. Especially, they must manage to put classic and modern fronts together. In addition, to do this, the woman must recognize that traditional roles are not at all times what they seem. This guide will be of particular interest to postgraduate students interested in relative women’s research and Asian studies.
This book includes a collection of impressive arguments regarding the position of women in numerous Asian countries. It also comes with a comprehensive list of recommended blood pressure measurements and a web-site with backlinks to electronic resources. Some of the contributors are intercontinental authorities on women’s status, although some focus on a specific country.
The book is filled with info on everything from legislation on female infanticide to the associated with population control applications. It is a extensive look at women of all ages in Asia and the obligations that accompany them. As well as talking about the gender purpose in the family, it also covers the role of the work area.
One of the most interesting input to this volume may be the chapter in sex. The writer, MINA ROCES, has http://www.ted.com/talks/amy_cuddy_your_body_language_shapes_who_you_are/transcript?language=en lived in Asia for many years and has posted extensively in women inside the region. She has a PhD in sociology, and classes on girls in the Korea at the University of New To the south Wales.
Other interesting subject areas include the economical role of girls in the region, and the position of women in the workforce. The book is a great source of undergraduate and graduate students who are learning Asia and ladies.
One of the most interesting features of this book is the way which the authors incorporate the work of any diverse list of scholars in a cohesive, multi-disciplinary discussion of the status of Asian women of all ages. They discuss how the male or female roles that have prevailed during history include changed and therefore are changing today. In addition , the writers look at how globalization is normally creating legal mechanisms for you if you to expect greater roles in society.
Lastly, the authors feel on the most crucial, and most ambiguous, of all of the things. During your time on st. kitts are many good books to choose from on women’s issues, this town is the foremost of its kind. With their comprehensive summary of women in the region, and its wide-ranging list of referrals, the publication is a significant source of anyone with any in the position of women in society.
