Books as Companions
Books plays an important role in in our life. Books are our friends in a real sense. They demand nothing from us. They give us plenty of joy. We also learn a lot from them. They take us into a different world of imagination.
Good books improve our standard of living. They tone up our intellectual taste they make our outlook broad. They console us when we are depressed.
Books encourage us when we are defeated. They inspire us to work hard with hope and courage. They remove our ignorance and add to our knowledge. Books enrich our experience and sharpen our intellect. Thus a good book is our true friend.
A man must avoid reading bad books. They may make our life miserable. We may have to suffer because of bad books. They develop in us bad habits. They mislead and misguide. Bad books ruin our intellect. They spoil our interest in reading good and serious books. We must avoid reading such bad and cheap books because they waste our time and energy.
We should develop a healthy habit of reading books. We must select the books carefully. We should read only good books. Reading good books has many advantages. Bad books spoil our character. They develop unhealthy habits in us. We should follow children and young men to read only good books. They should act upon the lessons they learn from such books. A good book is our ‘friend and guide’.
Everybody wants happiness in life. Man wants wealth and power for the sake of pleasure. He wants to have good health so that he may enjoy life more and more. In the modern age man seeks happiness everywhere. All the discoveries and inventions of science are made for human happiness.
We can get pleasure from various things. Sports, games and lectures are some of them. But the reading of books gives us the real pleasure of life. When we read good book, we forget ourselves. We do not remember the care and anxieties of the world. We are sent into a land of beauty, imagination and happiness. So, books are the source of the greatest pleasure in life.
Well-read man is liked by all. He is a storehouse of information. He knows something of everything. A well read man can be very good talker. He can entertain us with his good talks. He shows his worth at a social function. He can talk about many things. So, we do not feel dullness and boredom in the company of such persons. This is another advantage of reading books.
Books are of different kinds. Some books deal with topics of general nature. Everybody likes to read those books. There are also some books on certain topics. Such books are written for a particular set of readers. A general reader likes to read books of general nature. They give us knowledge and pleasure.
We should be very careful while we select books. Good books develop in us many qualities. A man of wide reading is a man of culture. Books, magazines and journals do not bore us. They make our life happy. But bad books spoil our taste. Only a sincere reader of good books knows what happiness he gets from reading books.
10 Benefits of Reading: Why You Should Read Every Day
When was the last time you read a book, or a substantial magazine article? Do your daily reading habits center around tweets, Facebook updates, or the directions on your instant oatmeal packet? If you’re one of countless people who don’t make a habit of reading regularly, you might be missing out: reading has a significant number of benefits, and just a few benefits of reading are listed below.
1. Mental Stimulation
Studies have shown that staying mentally stimulated can slow the progress of (or possibly even prevent) Alzheimer’s and Dementia, since keeping your brain active and engaged prevents it from losing power. Just like any other muscle in the body, the brain requires exercise to keep it strong and healthy, so the phrase “use it or lose it” is particularly apt when it comes to your mind. Doing puzzles and playing games such as chess have also been found to be helpful with cognitive stimulation.
2. Stress Reduction
No matter how much stress you have at work, in your personal relationships, or countless other issues faced in daily life, it all just slips away when you lose yourself in a great story. A well-written novel can transport you to other realms, while an engaging article will distract you and keep you in the present moment, letting tensions drain away and allowing you to relax.
Everything you read fills your head with new bits of information, and you never know when it might come in handy. The more knowledge you have, the better-equipped you are to tackle any challenge you’ll ever face.
Additionally, here’s a bit of food for thought: should you ever find yourself in dire circumstances, remember that although you might lose everything else—your job, your possessions, your money, even your health—knowledge can never be taken from you.
4. Vocabulary Expansion
This goes with the above topic: the more you read, the more words you gain exposure to, and they’ll inevitably make their way into your everyday vocabulary. Being articulate and well-spoken is of great help in any profession, and knowing that you can speak to higher-ups with self-confidence can be an enormous boost to your self-esteem. It could even aid in your career, as those who are well-read, well-spoken, and knowledgeable on a variety of topics tend to get promotions more quickly (and more often) than those with smaller vocabularies and lack of awareness of literature, scientific breakthroughs, and global events.
Reading books is also vital for learning new languages, as non-native speakers gain exposure to words used in context, which will ameliorate their own speaking and writing fluency.
5. Memory Improvement
When you read a book, you have to remember an assortment of characters, their backgrounds, ambitions, history, and nuances, as well as the various arcs and sub-plots that weave their way through every story. That’s a fair bit to remember, but brains are marvellous things and can remember these things with relative ease. Amazingly enough, every new memory you create forges new synapses (brain pathways)and strengthens existing ones, which assists in short-term memory recall as well as stabilizing moods. How cool is that?
6. Stronger Analytical Thinking Skills
Have you ever read an amazing mystery novel, and solved the mystery yourself before finishing the book? If so, you were able to put critical and analytical thinking to work by taking note of all the details provided and sorting them out to determine “whodunnit”.
That same ability to analyze details also comes in handy when it comes to critiquing the plot; determining whether it was a well-written piece, if the characters were properly developed, if the storyline ran smoothly, etc. Should you ever have an opportunity to discuss the book with others, you’ll be able to state your opinions clearly, as you’ve taken the time to really consider all the aspects involved.
7. Improved Focus and Concentration
In our internet-crazed world, attention is drawn in a million different directions at once as we multi-task through every day. In a single 5-minute span, the average person will divide their time between working on a task, checking email, chatting with a couple of people (via gchat, skype, etc.), keeping an eye on twitter, monitoring their smartphone, and interacting with co-workers. This type of ADD-like behaviour causes stress levels to rise, and lowers our productivity.
When you read a book, all of your attention is focused on the story—the rest of the world just falls away, and you can immerse yourself in every fine detail you’re absorbing. Try reading for 15-20 minutes before work (i.e. on your morning commute, if you take public transit), and you’ll be surprised at how much more focused you are once you get to the office.
8. Better Writing Skills
This goes hand-in-hand with the expansion of your vocabulary: exposure to published, well-written work has a noted effect on one’s own writing, as observing the cadence, fluidity, and writing styles of other authors will invariably influence your own work. In the same way that musicians influence one another, and painters use techniques established by previous masters, so do writers learn how to craft prose by reading the works of others.
In addition to the relaxation that accompanies reading a good book, it’s possible that the subject you read about can bring about immense inner peace and tranquility. Reading spiritual texts can lower blood pressure and bring about an immense sense of calm, while reading self-help books has been shown to help people suffering from certain mood disorders and mild mental illnesses.
10. Free Entertainment
Though many of us like to buy books so we can annotate them and dog-ear pages for future reference, they can be quite pricey. For low-budget entertainment, you can visit your local library and bask in the glory of the countless tomes available there for free. Libraries have books on every subject imaginable, and since they rotate their stock and constantly get new books, you’ll never run out of reading materials.
If you happen to live in an area that doesn’t have a local library, or if you’re mobility-impaired and can’t get to one easily, most libraries have their books available in PDF or ePub format so you can read them on your e-reader, iPad, or your computer screen. There are also many sources online where you can download free e-books, so go hunting for something new to read!

History of Nichiren Buddhism From Shakyamuni to Today
What follows does not attempt a full history of the development of the entirety of Buddhism, which is a much broader topic, but contains a simplified and introductory account of the development of the Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin.
Shakyamuni Buddha and the Lotus Sutra
Shakyamuni, also known as Siddartha Gautama, was the founder of Buddhism. He lived in the fourth or fifth century BCE in a small kingdom in the foothills of the Himalayas south of what is now central Nepal. He was a prince of the Shakya clan, and was destined to succeed his father, King Shuddhodana, but as a young man he became aware of, and was deeply troubled by the problem of human suffering. He longed to leave his comfortable life in the royal palace and to seek a solution to the four sufferings common to all people: birth into this troubled world, sickness, old age and death. He renounced his wealth and titles and, after years of effort, near the town of Gaya, he experienced a profound enlightenment to the essential nature of life and all things; to the cause of suffering and how to resolve it.
He then spent the next fifty or so years traveling through India, sharing his insight with others. After he died at the age of eighty, his disciples continued to spread his teachings through Asia. People tend to associate Buddhism solely with the teachings of Shakyamuni, but this neglects developments that occurred in later periods.
Shakyamuni`s key message is contained in his highest teaching, the Lotus Sutra. This states that Buddhahood, a condition of absolute happiness and freedom from all fear and illusions, is inherent in all life, and is eternal. This means that ‘the Buddha’ is nothing other than an ordinary person who is aware of this state in his or her life. `The Buddha` is not a special or divine being. The development of this inner life state can enable all people to overcome their problems and live a fulfilled and active life, engaging fully with others and with society.
Shakymuni taught many teachings on the way to teaching the Lotus Sutra. After he died Buddhism took different forms as it spread. It spread in two main forms, the Theravada and the Mahayana (‘greater vehicle’), and traveled into China along the commercial Silk Route. The sutras were translated into different languages and the teachings were adopted and merged into different cultures in Asia. This is the origin of the great variety and diversity of the Buddhist teachings that currently exist across Asia today.
When these diverse teachings reached China, people were uncertain which among them was the true teaching of the Buddha. Great thinkers, such as T’ien-t’ai and Chang-an studied the Lotus Sutra and confirmed its status as the greatest of the Buddha’s teachings, because of its teaching that everyone can reveal the Buddha state in their daily lives. Nevertheless Buddhism later reached Japan in many different schools each declaring the supremacy of their own teaching.
Nichiren Daishonin–Life and Spirit
Nichiren Daishonin was born in Japan on 16th February 1222 in a country that was rife with conflicts and calamities that took a heavy toll on the ordinary people. He entered the priesthood as a boy, and it is said that while he was studying at Seicho-ji Temple he prayed to become the wisest person in all Japan, so that he could make sense of the Buddhist teachings, and lead his parents, and indeed all people, to enlightenment. For 14 years he traveled around the main temples of Japan to conduct his research and became convinced that the key to transforming people’s suffering and enabling society to flourish lay in the Lotus Sutra, and particularly its title, Myoho-Renge-Kyo. On 28th April 1253 he declared that the correct Buddhist practice in this age is to chant the phrase Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, which enables everyone to attain enlightenment and true happiness throughout their lives, manifesting inherent Buddhahood and gaining the strength and wisdom to challenge any adverse circumstances.
Nichiren Daishonin challenged the established schools of Buddhism that served the interests of the powerful and encouraged passivity in the suffering masses. After this a series of persecutions began, which served to confirm that the Daishonin was acting in accordance with the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, which include a warning of the difficulty of spreading its teaching of fundamental respect in future ages. In 1260 he submitted his treatise ‘On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land,’ to the most powerful figure in the government, urging the government to take responsibility for the suffering of the people, and to use his philosophy to remedy the situation.
Nichiren Daishonin was exiled twice by the government suffered violent attacks, and a number of his disciples were executed. He refused to compromise his principles to appease those in authority. During his second exile on Sado Island he continued to write letters of inspiration and encouragement to his followers, among which are counted some of his most important works. In 1274 the government freed him, stating that he was not guilty of any wrongdoing, and he retired to Mount Minobu where he continued to train his disciples, and write letters of encouragement to those who practiced his teachings. He inscribed the Dai-Gohonzon on 12th October 1279 so that all people could have the means to reveal their inherent Buddha nature. He died surrounded by his closest disciples on 13th October 1282.
The Kosen-rufu Movement-Soka Gakkai International
Nichiren Daishonin’s Buddhism was passed from generation to generation, in Japan, for some 700 years until a lay society that became known as the Soka Gakkai (Value Creating Society) started to spread its teachings in 1930. Soka Gakkai was founded by the educators Tsunesaburo Makiguchi and Josei Toda, who found parallels in the Daishonin’s teaching with their philosophy of education. They challenged the militaristic government during the Second World War, and were imprisoned; the society’s first president, Makiguchi, died in jail on 18th November 1944. Toda realised during his imprisonment that this modern age is the very period of conflict that the Lotus Sutra was taught to resolve.
After the war, the Japanese constitution allowed for the freedom of religion, for the first time, and Toda reconstructed the Soka Gakkai as a movement for people in all aspects of society, not just in education. By the time he died on 2nd April 1958 the organization had grown beyond his target of 750,000 households and even had members elected to the Japanese Parliament.
Daisaku Ikeda became the third President on 3rd May 1960 when he was 32. Under his leadership the organization grew rapidly and expanded abroad. In 1975 Soka Gakkai International was established and he became its first president. There are now more than 12 million members in 188 countries and territories, and Daisaku Ikeda has conducted dialogues with scholars, cultural and political leaders around the world. He also founded the Soka University and the Soka Schools, the Min-On Concert Association, the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum and the Institute of Oriental Philosophy. The SGI continues its development as the organization of ‘human revolution,’ the individual’s inner reformation, and establishment of Buddhahood as the core life state, based on Nichiren Daishonin’s teachings.
Buddhism for Today
In the Lotus Sutra, the goal of those who were to spread its teachings throughout the world is encapsulated in the phrase ‘kosen-rufu’. This means ‘to teach and spread widely’ the Buddhist law. This is also the goal of the SGI, to teach the universal law of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo around the world.
The following are quotations taken from recent articles by Daisaku Ikeda, where he explains the meaning of ‘kosen-rufu’:
‘To become happy not only ourselves, but to enable others to become happy as well. To bring harmony to our local communities. And to help our nations flourish and bring peace to the whole world. The lives of those who pray and work to achieve these goals pulse with faith that is dedicated to realizing kosen-rufu.’ (NL 4584)
‘Kosen-rufu is an undertaking that we must pursue in society, in the real world. Kosen-rufu is an indomitable struggle for peace and justice in which we must fight unceasingly against the negative and destructive forces found in the real world.’ (NL 4744)
‘If we’re going to live this life, we must not waste it on trivial, self-centered pursuits, but instead live for a lofty ideal. And the most lofty ideal is worldwide kosen-rufu. Those who continue to uphold a great philosophy, a great ideal, and a great religion are unsurpassed victors as human beings.’ (NL 5226)
Buddhism is a religion that dates back almost three thousand years, yet its practical philosophy means that it is even more applicable in today’s difficult times. The Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin, as spread through the SGI movement, teaches individual empowerment and inner transformation which at the same time contributes to global peace, enabling people to develop themselves and take responsibility for their lives, no matter what their circumstances or background.

Books Behaving Badly
Every year hundreds of books get challenged for their content. Banned Book Week (September 23-30) is a time to celebrate the freedom the read. So pick up any book you darn well feel like, and enjoy!
Every year the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression compiles a list of banned and challenged books. A "challenged" book has, for whatever reason, been considered by one of more people to be inappropriate, and its removal from library shelves has been requested. A "banned" book is a challenged book that has actually been pulled from the shelves. Here are some of the books from this year's list.
Banned for containing nude photos of 9
US Supreme Court justices
Stewart's The Daily Show is a major source of news for the 20-something
set as well as older television watchers
Packed with jokes, this mock textbook contains chapters packed with
ludicrous charts and maps, sidebars, illustrations and discussion questions.
Features include a foldout chart of the "shadow government" and of
course, the infamous "dress the Supreme Court" page
depicting the justices in the nude.
Challenged for profanity, sexual content,
vulgarity, violence and racial slurs
Awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1993, Toni Morrison powerfully evokes in her fiction the legacies of displacement and slavery that have been bequeathed to the African-American community. Although Beloved is likely the most widely celebrated of her novels, Song of Solomon is perhaps the most lyrical, following Milkman Dead as he struggles to understand his family history and the ways in which that history has both been damaged by and transcended the horror of slavery.
Challenged for vulgar language and violent imagery
The first and most admired book of McCarthy's Border trilogy is his
National Book Award-winning All The Pretty Horses. In highly evocative
prose that puts the reader firmly in the saddle, the novel follows the
progress of laconic 16-year-old Texan John Grady Cole, his pal Lacey
Rawlins, and the mysterious young sharp shooter Jimmy Blevins as they
ride across the border into Mexico in search of adventure.
Banned for profanity and "pagan" content
Antonio Marez is six years old when Ultima enters his life. She is a curandera,
one who heals with herbs and magic. Soon Tony will journey to the threshold of
manhood. Ultima always watches over him. Under her wise guidance, Tony will probe
the family ties that bind him, and he will find in himself the magical secrets
of the pagan past. At each turn in his life there is Ultima who will nurture
the birth of his soul.
Challenged for sexual content, offensive
language and violence
A highly infectious, deadly virus from the central African rain forest suddenly
appears in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. There is no cure. In a few
days 90 percent of its victims are dead. A secret military SWAT team
of soldiers and scientists is mobilized to stop the outbreak of this
exotic "hot" virus. The Hot Zone tells this dramatic story, giving a
hair-raising acccount of the appearance of rare and lethal viruses and
their "crashes" into the human race.
Challenged for depictions of infidelity
Set in the San Francisco Bay area, Between Lovers centres around a complex love triangle. The novel's narrator is still reeling from being dumped by Nicole after seven good years and an aborted trip to the altar. She likes what she has now, but misses what she had, and wants to find out if she can have it all. She's playing with fire, but she lures her former fianc back into her life, opening the floodgates of anger, passion, pain...and refreshing honesty.
Challenged for profane language and depictions of teenage sexuality
Published more than 30 years ago, this tender account of first love between teenagers
Katherine and Michael - who decide to "go all the way" - continues to garner
both praise and controversy over its sexual content. The book has been
used to open up frank discussions about sex, yet groups to this day are
campaigning to have it removed school library shelves.
Challenged for racial slurs, banned from school play stages
of the best-loved stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has earned many
distinctions since its publication in 1960. It won the Pulitzer Prize, has been
translated into more than forty languages, and has sold more than thirty million
copies worldwide. Most recently, librarians across the country voted it the best
novel of the twentieth century. Imagine if the book was actually banned!

If you just configure your PostgreSQL build without any special options, the PostgreSQL binaries will be linked against libedit.
There were several discussions about this in the past and this was even reported to Apple. However, since now (i'm on OSX 10.6.6 for example), nothing happened and the shipped libedit is still unusable with psql.
If you really need to build your own PostgreSQL binaries on OSX (for example you want do a review for a patch in the current CommitFest ;)), i always recommend to use MacPorts and their packaging. I use it for nearly two years and it works quite well (well, at least all libraries required by my installation are working). There's a fairly good instruction on how to setup MacPorts on your MacBook. If you have done your package installation, simply point the configure script to the correct location of the libraries and header files:
./configure --with-libraries=/opt/local/lib --with-includes=/opt/local/include ...
/opt/local is the default location for libraries installed from MacPorts. You also might want to specify additional options. At least, --with-includes and --with-libraries are necessary to point your PostgreSQL builds to the correct libraries.

The day has finally arrived, fellow Harry Potter fans. And it’s totally understandable if you won’t be able to compose yourself after reading this news.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the sequel play premiering in London this June, is turning into a book! Well, a book of the script, that is.
— Scholastic (@Scholastic) February 10, 2016
— Pottermore (@pottermore) February 10, 2016
And it’s arriving on Harry’s birthday!
While it may not be exactly the same as a new novel, or seeing the play in person, it’s certainly something great for fans who aren’t able to get to London to see the play.
Plus, the end of July isn’t that far away.
An important note is that this book will be a “Special Rehearsal Edition” of the script, with a second, “definitive” version coming out later. Which basically means there will be two versions of this book and whether or not you get both, or one, depends on your level of fandom.
Here’s a refresher of the plot:
It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children.

The Chip: A World Divided
When a young couple ignores ancient rivalries and fall in love, they spark a war between the two societies they inhabit.
In the year 2075, health care scientists invented a Chip, which when inserted into the brain stops the aging process. Fifty years later, societies naturally divided themselves into two camps: the Hybrids – those with the Chip; and the Naturalists – those without it. Seventy-five years later the Great War began and the two sides sought to destroy one another. After ten years, the fighting ended in a stalemate, a fragile treaty was signed, weapons were outlawed, and strict laws for the use of the Chip were created.
But now, an outside force with immeasurable power threatens both sides. Can they overcome their differences in order to preserve life as they know it?
The Chip: Mark Of The Beast
In this second book of THE CHIP series, Emma and Lucas settle into uneasy lives apart. Emma tries to adapt to life in the Naturalist countryside, while Lucas attempts to embrace his new job in the Hybrid city. Despite the unborn child they share, rekindling what was lost seems galaxies away.
Meanwhile, mastermind Archimedes builds his army and prepares them to incite global unrest by harnessing turbulence in the Crossbreed community and spreading it to Naturalist and Hybrid territory.
Lucas and Emma can only see pieces of Archimedes’ overall plan, but after unexpected tragedy befalls their family...

One of the ways in which Susan has been working through the grief caused by Noah’s suicide was through her writing, first through a blog, then by writing a grief memoir. “I’ll Write Your Name in Every Beach: A Mother’s Quest for Comfort, Courage and Clarity After Suicide Loss” (Jessica Kingsley Publishers) chronicles the first few years of heartache and healing after losing Noah, to suicide. It blends my story with quotes from experts, original poetry, and soothing mind-body exercises to bring light and inspiration to the suicide grief journey. It’s meant for those who have lost loved ones to suicide (loss survivors) and those who care for and work with them, like friends, therapists, and clergy. Psychologist John Jordan, an expert in suicide grief, writes, “This eloquent story of one mother’s efforts to find her way after the death of her son by suicide will help you navigate your own painful journey towards peace.” You can read more about the book and order it through my website or through your preferred source. All proceeds from book sales will go to the Noah Langholz Remembrance Fund. Please help spread the word about this book through social media and reviews – thanks so much!

In the months after I quit drinking, I dove into the world of “quit-lit”—the genre of books focused on sobriety, sober curiosity, and the role of alcohol in society.
These books helped me come to terms with the reasons behind my decision to quit drinking, reminded me of what I was walking away from, and gave me a lifeline as I moved into a new chapter (quite literally).
Heralded as one of the preeminent voices on recovery, Knapp catalogs her experience with alcoholism, relationships, overachievement, and sobriety. Reading this book, I was able to relate to her perfectionism, wanting for more, more, more, and searching for a better way of living.
*Favorite quote: “The hard things in life, the things you really learn from, happen with a clear mind.”
This book will be extremely relatable and cathartic for anyone who has ever engaged in binge drinking to the point of blacking out. I laughed out loud multiple times while reading this and was nodding along the whole time. Hepola is overwhelmingly honest about her experience with alcohol and her struggle to give it up in order to gain herself.
*Favorite quote: “We drink to get away from ourselves — and then we wonder how we got so lost.” - Sarah Hepola
Quit Like a Woman: The Radical Choice to Not Drink in a Culture Obsessed with Alcohol by Holly Whitaker
The most direct of the books I read, “Quit Like a Woman'' pulls no punches. Whitaker is unapologetically aggressive about her disdain for the role of alcohol in our society. Her take on the way alcohol is viewed and consumed is refreshingly honest and eye-opening, especially if you’ve never taken a moment to consider how alcohol is perceived.
*Favorite quote: “Alcohol is the only drug in the world where, when you stop taking it, you are seen as having a disease.”
Sober Curious: The Blissful Sleep, Greater Focus, and Deep Connection Awaiting Us All on the Other Side of Alcohol by Ruby Warrington
As the title suggests, this is a book for anyone considering stepping away from alcohol for the myriad of health, wellness, and social reasons. Warrington is one of the leading proponents of the Sober Curious movement and challenges readers to consider the effects that alcohol and subsequently sobriety can have on mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
*Favorite quote: “For many of us, getting Sober Curious begins with a simple question: Would my life be better without alcohol? To discover the answer for yourself, all that remains is to put the cork back in the bottle, open your eyes, and see.”
The Sober Lush by Amanda Eyre Ward & Jardine Libaire
The most pragmatic and yet “woo-woo” of the books, this is a must-read for anyone who has quit alcohol (for any period of time) and gone, “is this all there is”? Without the “magic” of alcohol, life can sometimes feel…dull? This book flips that notion on its head and provides quick chapters with ideas for finding indulgence, peace, beauty, and realness in the small moments of life.
*Favorite quote: “The most accurate way to know the future is to create it.”
So far, these are the books that have resonated with me the most based on my personal experience and what I aim to gain from sobriety. Comment below if you have any recommendations I should consider!


by Willem Verster
Years ago, whilst still an undergraduate student at the Potchefstroom University, in the former Western Transvaal (now the North West Province), I visited W.Bro. Tommy Coulter and his wife Day, at their farm Little Lake in the Potchefstroom district. During my visit, Day asked me whether I had ever heard of or read about the Immortal Piano. The name did not mean anything to me, and she then produced the book, 'The Immortal Piano' written by Avner Carmi. From the minute I started reading the book, I was absolutely spellbound, and I could hardly put it down, and I could not wait to start reading again! I spent hours riveted to the book, and looking at the photographs of this magnificent instrument. Tommy also had an old 33 r.p.m. record of music played on this piano. (Yes, these were what was used BEFORE CD's !!!) The sound of this piano being played so beautifully still echoes in my mind. I can still hear Mozart's 'Rondo alla Turca' !! Magic !!
I digress. Anyhow, about three years after reading this I went on an overseas holiday, and visited Israel as part of the tour. Whilst in Tel Aviv, I telephoned the University Music Department, and enquired about the piano and Professor Carmi. No luck. I got a telephone number from the University, and the person I spoke to knew about the Immortal Piano, AND he also had Professor Carmi's home number! I was ecstatic! At last, the Immortal Piano!!

A World Without Books
An Irish novelist Colm Toibin once recounted a story about observing a Cantonese man sitting on Kowloon footpath reading a book. The man’s face was stern with concentration, and his finger tracing the line being read. At times the man’s expression would be disturbed in frustration at his progress. Finally, the reader looked up at the sky, while his face was beaming. It does not matter whether it was because of a sudden joy with the act of reading, or revelation from what was written, or delight at how the story resolved. The point is that he was in possession of something deliciously private – a connection between him and the writer, between the real world and the world, described upon the pages.
There is the frequently asked question; What would the world be like without books? The very question is absurd and depressing. It is always said that the latest technology signals the demise of the book. Decades ago, it was thought that the radio would replace books. This fear has persisted throughout with the inventions of television and the internet. But scenes like that of a Cartoneses man reading the book negate the notion that modern advances pose a threat to reading. Books are themselves a form of technology that is spread over the pages and makes us delve into the complexities of life.
Literature is the story of humans. It is the record of who we are, where we come from, and where we are going. Books make us travel at large. During our journey, we are connected with humanity. We identify ourselves with the characters we meet and learn whether we love, loathe, fear, or flatter. They help us comprehend our faults and aspirations. They tell us who we could become if we are not careful. Reading provides the deepest connection to the morals that make us human, and part of a larger society.
Books are a source of comfort for us. They are safe shelters. Throughout human history, man has found peace in the written works. Books are Bridge – through their pages, we make our contact with society. Those who read more are better prepared to face the world than those who do not read.
Through reading a book connects us with humanity, It is also the last truly private act in a world that has become too public. As nourishment for the mind, it is slow food in a world given over to fast food. Blogs, text messages, and e-books, bring relevance and instant gratification, many newspapers and magazines do. But however important such forms are, they endure only as long as the stuff they are printed on. The comforts of books defy time and break borders.
Books offer other types of pleasures as well. The joy of their touch, sound, and fragrance is immeasurable. The pleasure of their understanding is an addition to it. The sharing of a book with friends is still another form of joy. Libraries are evidence of the grandeur of a civilization.
It is important that we work to give every person the opportunity to enjoy the books as shelters, sustenance, and roads forward. To imagine a world without books is to imagine a world without thought, feeling, compression, history, or voice.
It is a well known fact that when there were no televisions or computers, reading was a primary leisure activity. People would spend hours reading books and travel to lands far away in their minds. The reading habit can become a healthy addiction and make us sensitive to global issues. It can also broaden our minds and improve our knowledge.


One of my favorite blogs is run by Casey at the Bookish Type. In combination with Book-Savvy they are putting on an Out with a Bang Read a Thon. Or is it Read Thon. Whichever. To celebrate I will be attempting to read the following books before the new year.
- Hamlet by William Shakespeare
- My Antonia by Willa Cather
- Border Songs by Jim Lynch
- The Winter of our Discontent by John Steinbeck
- Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison
- Bel Canto by Ann Patchett
I encourage all my book loving friends to do the same! Start the year off with an empty library que.
link to the original Out With a Bang Read Thon
Update: I sucked hard at this. The best of intentions right? I only read Bel Canto and My Antonia. But I’m glad I tried, A unicorn, sub zero temperatures and Rocky Horror Picture Show are to blame. Not to mention the entire city of Ellensburg, Washington.

Mr. King delivered two incubators to be placed in the library shortly before Easter. As students made their visits to the library, Mrs. Wiggins our librarian would discuss the life cycle of a chicken and read related stories with the students. Mrs. Wiggins even set up a challenge for the students in a drawing based on information they learned about how many eggs a chicken can lay over a two year period. Teachers were encouraged to have discussions about how eggs hatch into chicks and the kinds of special things that was needed to care for eggs/chicks. Students learned it takes 21 days for a chick to grow inside an egg and waiting in anticipation for them to hatch. They learned the importance of keeping the eggs warm in an incubator when there would be no hen to sit on them. After being hatched, the chicks were moved to a separate brooder, or "chicken house" with plenty of food, water, and warmth. Students also learned many interesting facts such as the parts of an egg and what was the chick’s food source before hatching.

Happy Friday the 13th! This unusual occurance, which happens at least once a year, is considered an unlucky day in Western superstition, said to have Biblical origins. While it isn’t technically a holiday, there’s no reason not to celebrate it by diving into some spooky reads.
If you’re a parent or teacher looking for ways to captivate your students into exercising their ELA skills, these spooky stories or creepy poems may be the solution for you for this Friday the 13th! Students will love a surprise celebration on this little-recognized, special day. For your convenience, we’ve compiled a list of five spooky short stories and poems that are must-reads.
These stories and poems, written by acclaimed authors and poets, are the most famous horror poems and tales. The literary and stylistic tools they use effectively elicit fear and unease, so reading and analyzing them is a perfect way to captivate your scholars and teach them about tone, rhetorical devices, and other literary tools.
We’re featuring two scary poems in this collection, demonstrating the work of two of the best American poets in history, both known for their affinity for discussing death or other scary subject matter.
1. “The Raven,” by Edgar Allen Poe
“The Raven” is one of the best-known poems in American literature. Its subject matter is a young man, grieving for his lost love, who is visited by a raven. The bird’s repetition of the word “Nevermore,” and its refusal to say anything else, drives him deeper into despair. The poem allows for many different interpretations, which makes it well-suited to students learning about literary criticism, but it can also be an excellent introduction to literary poetry for middle school students.
A summary biography of Poe can help your students understand the poem in the context of the author’s life. For younger students who are just starting to learn about poetry, “The Raven” can be used as a companion and example for an introduction to poetry like this one. They can diagram its rhyme scheme (abcbbb) and identify its meter. If they find this particularly interesting, they might also want to read his “The Philosophy of Composition,” in which he explains the stylistic choices he made in constructing the poem.
For high school students, particularly those studying AP English Literature, “The Raven” can also be an excellent exercise in literary criticism and the interpretation of symbols. You can also discuss the rhyme scheme, exploring the purpose of rhyme in poetry and how it can be used to create a certain effect. You can ask them to describe the poem’s symbology for you and give their opinion as to whether the titular raven is a literal bird, or something else entirely. Then, you can have them write a piece of literary criticism which deals with those topics and analyzes the poem.
And of course, if poetry isn’t your thing, Poe also wrote “The Tell-Tale Heart”, “The Oval Portrait” (featured in our ELA 8 course), “The Black Cat” (featured in our ELA 9 course), and plenty of other spooky stories.
2. “I heard a fly buzz—when I died—”, Emily Dickenson
“I heard a fly buzz—when I died—” is one of the better-known poems of Emily Dickinson, the reclusive and prolific nineteenth-century American poet. The poem describes Dickinson’s imagining of the moment of one’s death and evokes the sensorium of dying.
Like “The Raven,” “I heard a fly buzz—when I died—“ can be a useful tool for teaching young students about the basics of poetry. Studying more poems by Emily Dickenson and reading a biography of her life can help students put her work into context and understand the themes important to Dickenson and her writing.
For older students, “I heard a fly buzz—when I died—” is a useful exercise in interpreting poetic symbolism and understanding the significance of poetic imagery. Ask them to think about the significance of the fly in the poem’s imagery before diving into the poem’s makeup as a group or have them write an essay.
When I was in elementary school, my classmates and I would scare ourselves half to death reading and rereading the different Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark collections from our school library. That was almost twenty years ago, and the contemporary scary stories students read today may affect them in the same way, but nothing compares to the terrifying, timeless tales featured here. Even the most reluctant readers will be quivering in their seats while reading these scary short stories!
1. “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” by Washington Irving
One of the most famous horror stories and the inspiration for multiple film and television spinoffs (a fact which may make some children more willing to read and study it), “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” tells the story of the superstitious Ichabod Crane and his terrifying encounter with the “Headless Horseman”—a ghostly figure which, the story implies, is actually his rival Brom Bones in a clever costume.
For younger students, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” can be an excellent exercise in reading comprehension, particularly foreshadowing and understanding the author’s intent. Reading comprehension is an important skill for standardized tests, and if students develop it in elementary and middle school, they will find it easier to do well on some AP exams and the SAT and ACT in high school.
To make the most of reading comprehension practice with “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” sit down and read it with your students. Ask questions throughout the narrative—why is the author telling us that Ichabod is superstitious? Do you think that detail will be important later on? What role do the ghost stories at the party play in the author’s overall narrative? What do you think really happened in Ichabod’s encounter with the Horseman, and why?
For older students, particularly those studying American literature, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” is most useful as an example of the work of the Knickerbocker Group and an insight into the culture of late-eighteenth-and-early-nineteenth-century America. The Knickerbocker Group, the loose association of contemporary authors to which Irving belonged, is also commonly mentioned in American history courses around this time of year. Reading “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and a description of the group’s origins and works can help students gain a deeper understanding of the group’s cultural significance.
2. “Rappaccini’s Daughter,” by Nathaniel Hawthorne
“Rappaccini’s Daughter” relates the story of a young man who falls in love with the beautiful daughter of an elderly doctor, only to discover that her very flesh is poisoned as a result of her role in one of her father’s experiments. He offers her the antidote, but since the poison had become so deeply a part of her, it kills her rather than curing her.
There are few good resources online for studying “Rappaccini’s Daughter,” but it’s worth including in this list nonetheless because of its relevance to the standard American literature curriculum for high school. Most high school English classes which focus on American literature cover The Scarlet Letter at some point. In The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne makes heavy use of color symbolism and other literary devices, which classes typically cover in exhaustive detail.
“Rappaccini’s Daughter” is a much less commonly taught Hawthorne work which uses many of the same techniques. Therefore, it can be used as an exercise in identifying Hawthorne’s characteristic literary devices or, when assigned as independent reading, an opportunity to build on the class material by developing one’s independent literary reading skills.
3. “A Rose for Emily,” by William Faulkner
“A Rose for Emily” recounts the story of Miss Emily Grierson, an elderly woman living in small-town Mississippi, and the dark secret discovered in her house after her death. (I would say more, but I wouldn’t want to spoil it for you if you haven’t read it—literary significance aside, it’s an interesting read, and more than a little creepy.) We encourage parents looking for spooky reading at home to pre-read this particular story before assigning it to their children, as it does contain strong language and themes which some parents may find objectionable—though it has nothing that wouldn’t be encountered in a typical junior-level English class.
“A Rose for Emily” is most relevant for high school students who are taking English classes focused on American literature. The author, William Faulkner, is commonly studied in such classes, and “A Rose for Emily” is a good introduction to his work. It is set in his fictional town of Jefferson, Mississippi, in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County—the setting for many of his stories and all but three of his novels. “A Rose for Emily” touches upon several themes that are common in his more-studied works, including tradition vs. change and the racism of the early-twentieth-century South.

Roman architecture drawing unveils a world where ambitious visions transformed into enduring marvels. These drawings, etched on parchment or stone, laid the groundwork for architectural wonders like the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the aqueducts. Each line and curve was a step toward shaping cities that would stand the test of time.
Symmetry and Proportion The Art of Roman Architectural Drawing
Central to Roman architecture was a devotion to symmetry and proportion. Roman architecture drawing painstakingly captured these principles, resulting in buildings that exuded balance and harmony. The meticulous depictions of columns, arches, and facades showcased the precision with which these structures were conceived.
Columns and Capitals Capturing Architectural Identity
Roman architecture drawing paid special attention to columns and capitals, the defining elements of Roman construction. The drawings showcased the intricate details of Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian columns, emphasizing the mastery with which these architectural features were crafted. These drawings captured not only the physical attributes but also the cultural symbolism embedded in these elements.
From Temples to Amphitheaters Diverse Architectural Drawings
Roman architecture drawing spanned a spectrum of building types. Temples, bathhouses, amphitheaters, and basilicas found their form on paper before rising from the ground. These drawings communicated not only the structural details but also the functional aspects that made these spaces integral to Roman society.
Engineering Triumphs Aqueduct and Bridge Drawings
Roman architecture was as much about engineering as it was about aesthetics. Aqueducts and bridges, vital to Roman infrastructure, were documented meticulously in drawings. These blueprints depicted the innovative engineering techniques that enabled the transport of water and the creation of monumental spans.
Temporal Unveiling Roman Architecture Reconstruction Drawings
In the absence of intact Roman structures, reconstruction drawings have been crucial in unveiling the past. These drawings piece together fragmented remains and historical records, offering glimpses of what once stood. Through these visual narratives, we gain insight into urban landscapes that have long since transformed.
Public Spaces and Forums Civic Architecture in Drawings
Roman cities were marked by expansive public spaces and forums that served as the heart of civic life. Roman architecture drawing captured the layout of these spaces, showcasing the arrangement of temples, administrative buildings, and statues. These drawings offer a portal into the daily interactions and rituals of Roman citizens.
Murals and Frescoes Painting Roman Architectural Ambiance
Beyond architectural blueprints, Roman architecture drawing extended to murals and frescoes. These paintings adorned walls, depicting scenes of architectural splendor, gardens, and mythological narratives. Through these intricate artworks, we gain insight into how the Romans envisioned their buildings within the broader context of their surroundings.
Legacy in Lines Roman Architecture Drawing Today
The legacy of Roman architecture drawing continues to resonate in contemporary architectural education and practice. Modern architects study the precision, symmetry, and engineering techniques evident in these ancient drawings. The principles of proportion and harmony, embodied in Roman architecture, remain touchstones for architectural design and aesthetics.
Eternal Echoes Roman Architecture Drawing’s Enduring Impact
Roman architecture drawing stands as an echo of a civilization that shaped the course of history. In each line and detail, we find echoes of innovation, cultural expression, and engineering excellence. As we study these drawings, we pay homage to a legacy that has left an indelible mark on the architectural landscape, igniting inspiration and admiration for the grandeur of the past.


Give to an Appeal
Giving to an appeal means directly supporting students and researchers at the University.
There are three options to support our students at the University of Adelaide:
- the COVID-19 Student Support Appeal
- the Barr Smith Library Appeal; and
- the Augustus Short Scholarship Appeal.
Gifts to the Barr Smith Library Appeal help us secure important collections to support our students and researchers, and gifts to the Augustus Short Scholarship Appeal support financially disadvantaged students from regional and rural areas.
This year, the COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on all of our lives. Every gift to the COVID-19 Student Support Appeal will be delivered to our students in need, helping them to continue their studies knowing they are supported to achieve their best, in every way.
Fund critical library resources
The Barr Smith Library is more than just a place to study – for almost 130 years it has been a place where students and researchers alike have found support and space for quiet reflection, while still being at the very heart of our North Terrace Campus. When you give to the Barr Smith Library appeal, you are preserving those experiences for generations of students to come.
This year, your support for the Barr Smith Library Appeal will contribute to a new era of medical education for the next generation of doctors studying at the University of Adelaide, through the purchase of AMBOSS.
Support student scholarships
12bet体育代理Created to support high-performing country students who are facing financial hardship, these scholarships are one of the most influential ways you can support our students.
"When you make a gift to the Augustus Short Scholarship fund, you aren’t just helping students pay for textbooks – you are offering a lifeline to students from regional areas. You are showing us that where we live shouldn’t determine whether or not we go to uni." 12bet体育代理– Catherine Sloper, 2018 Augustus Short Scholarship recipient.

Descendants of an old and influential boyar family, Văcăreștii owned estates in Dâmbovița County, including the one near Târgoviște, which gave the name of Văcărești village.
Ienchiță Văcărescu was a man with a vast culture, who knew Greek, Latin, Italian, French, German and Turkish. He held senior positions on the royal divan and served in diplomatic missions in Constantinople and Vienna.
As a man of culture he has philological and historical concerns, remaining known in our culture as a poet, his poems having a didactic and moralizing component, leaving a true testament: “To my Văcărești descendants / I leave you a legacy / The growth of the Romanian language / And of the homeland honor. ”
Ienchiță Văcărescu was the author of the first printed work on Romanian grammar, from the Romanian space (1787), which in addition to the various grammatical categories, also includes a chapter on prosody, illustrated with original examples.
Scholar and polyglot, forerunner of the use of the cult Romanian language, poet, grammarian, historian and philologist, Ienăchiţă Văcărescu left us, all Romanians, a vast legacy.
A street and a prestigious school bear his name today in Târgoviște.
