On this episode, we discuss MLA style, including what it is, who uses it in their research, some important things to remember when writing a paper in MLA format, what's new in the 8th Edition of the MLA Handbook, and how to format in-text citations and a works cited page. MLA style is often used by scholars in the humanities and the liberal arts. The humanities and the liberal arts consist of subjects like English literature, rhetoric and composition, cultural studies, and foreign language studies and literature. You will probably use MLA style if you are writing a literary analysis, a persuasive essay, a literary criticism, an expository essay, or a research paper for the humanities. In addition to these topics, we cover: A few things to remember when using MLA style, such as keeping 1-inch margins on all sides. What's changed in the 8th Edition, for example, how MLA has been adapted for digital research. The format of in-text citations, and how they are needed if you are paraphrasing or directly quoting a source. How to complete a Works Cited page, including how the second and subsequent lines are indented.

I have heard of a few science instructors requesting APA, but I wouldn't say that this is the norm. *Chicago (CMS) is most often used by historians and book publishers. *If you have a science assignment or a subject not otherwise mentioned, consult your instructor.

I came across an interesting article from a summer 2014 edition of the English Journal entitled “Beyond the Stacks: Why High School English Teachers Should Be Talking about Books.” In it author Kierstin Thompson questions the relativeness of literature taught today. Her central concern has much to do with canonical literature taught in high schools. She queries whether strategies or the texts themselves are important, and she questions the texts (the canon, multicultural literature, nonfiction, young adult) used as well.
At the beginning of the article, Thompson points out that literacy coaches and specialists were placed into schools in 2001-2005 with the awarding of grants right after NCLB legislation, and Literacy Specialists began to provide professional development regarding reading and comprehension strategies. She argues, however, this created somewhat of a problem – that there was a pedagogical gap between literary instruction and reading instruction. Quoting Lisa Schade Eckert, Thompson contends that literary instruction is focused on “intellectually lofty, highly theorized definitions of literary interpretation” while reading instruction focuses on “repetitive, skills-based instruction.”
Now, the new Common Core State Standards have “Reading Literature Standards” that require the strategy of close reading along with the comparing of stories from different genres and eras (she points out standards RL. 8-10.9 and RL. 11-12-9). Thompson maintains standards such as these are more akin to literary interpretation rather than reading instruction, and as such, teachers will have to change the ways in which they teach texts; furthermore, the CCSS “might inadvertently encourage [teachers] to abandon the multicultural YA texts they’ve previously integrated into their classrooms.” I am not exactly sure what she means at this point, but there is the implication that such texts have no literary value, and if that is the argument, I disagree, and my disagreement will require another article.
After interviewing a gamut of teachers, Thompson found that teachers look at a text’s “genre, literary era, student interest, student ability, aesthetic value, and point of view” – the text’s “literary value” and “pedagogical potential.” She also claims, and this is unfortunate, teachers miss opportunities for students to see other perspectives or to think more deeply, for teachers shy away from books that are perceived as possibly contentious fearing “criticism, district reprimand or worse.” I find this highly problematic – the idea of self-censorship. By engaging in this type of thinking, we do a disservice to the students we teach. Literature is supposed to be provocative, and any educator know this as fact. A fellow NEH Scholar, Trina Williams, put it this way, “Literature transforms and transports kids in ways unimaginable, and it transfers to students the level of passion, realism that a teacher cannot provide” (paraphrased). Never should we not teach a text because of possible controversy.
Finally, Thompson writes that teachers should engage in professional development that focuses on literary literacy. And she offers some of her own professional experience:
- Read a text that stretches you as a reader
- Invite colleagues to read a book with you
- Ask to pilot a text
- Propose a professional development opportunity focused on literature
According to Thompson, reading and discussing a poem or short story is enjoyable for English teachers (even if determining curricular value is secondary). But most importantly, it also reminds us of what our students go through.

Arshin Adib-Moghaddam is Professor in Global Thought and Comparative Philosophies at SOAS, University of London and Chair of the Centre for Iranian Studies at the London Middle East Institute. Educated at the Universities of Hamburg, American (Washington DC) and Cambridge, where he received his MPhil and PhD as a multiple scholarship student, he was the first Jarvis Doctorow Fellow in International Relations and Peace Studies at St. Edmund Hall and the Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Oxford.
As a critic, writer and scholar, Adib-Moghaddam is best known for his work on Iran, relations between the west and the Muslim world and the international politics of West Asia and North Africa. As a public intellectual, he writes on contemporary politics and culture and his commentary and interviews have been published by leading outlets including Al-Jazeera, CNN, The Daily Star (Beirut), The Guardian, The Independent, Mehr News Agency (Iran), Outlook Magazine (India) and opendemocracy. Adib-Moghaddam has lectured globally on topics ranging from Iranian and Islamic politics, Islamophobia, critical and postcolonial theory and the myth of a clash of civilisations.
This site was created in order to archive his publications and activities and to provide a research platform for everyone interested in power, resistance, comparative politics, international relations, critical theory, and questions of war and peace.

On the Arab Revolts and the Iranian Revolution: Power and Resistance Today is the first comparative analysis of two central political events that have altered our world forever: the Arab uprisings which started in Tunisia, and the Iranian revolution in 1979. Adib-Moghaddam demonstrates how contemporary forms of protest are changing our understanding about the way power and resistance function. In a theoretical tour de force which is substantiated with a range of primary material, he argues that acts of protest in Tehran to Cairo can be entirely linked to the same act in New York, London, Madrid and Athens. Breaking through the east/west, north/south divide, Adib-Moghaddam shows how the Arab revolts promise to shift the discourse away from the idea that Arabs and Muslims are peculiar, that "Middle Eastern Studies" cannot be linked to political theory, that the dynamics of rebellion "there" are fundamentally different from the politics of revolt "here".
In his On the Arab Revolts and the Iranian Revolution: Power and Resistance Today, Arshin Adib-Moghaddam has brought his formidable intellectual capacities to provide a groundbreaking comparative assessment of these revolutions in such a solid and provocative way that no future study can ignore or soon surpass.”
Hamid Dabashi, author of Arab Spring: The End of Postcolonialism (2011).
“Amid the plethora of recent books on the 2011 Arab uprisings, Adib-Moghaddam has written a compelling and original work on the global interconnectedness of power and resistance. This is a book that is both empirically and theoretically rich, placing the revolutions of Iran in 1978-79 and the Arab world in 2011 in a larger, global context. It should be essential reading for anyone interested in the serious study of contemporary Middle Eastern politics, revolutions, and social movements.”
Mehran Kamrava, author of The Modern Middle East: A Political History since the First
PUBLISHED in 2011 by HURST & CO. and COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY PRESS. Republished by Oxford University Press.
Beginning with the wars of ancient Persia and Greece, Arshin Adib-Moghaddam searches for the theoretical underpinnings of the "clash of civilizations" that has determined so much of our political and cultural discourse. He revisits the Crusades, colonialism, the Enlightenment, and our contemporary war on terror, and he engages with both eastern and western thinkers, such as Adorno, Derrida, Farabi, Foucault, Hegel, Khayyam, Marcuse, Marx, Said, Ibn Sina, and Weber. Expanding critical theory to include Islamic philosophy and poetry, this metahistory refuses to treat Muslims and Europeans, Americans and Arabs, and the Orient and the Occident as separate entities.
Published in 2008 by Hurst & Co. and Columbia University Press. New Edition republished by Oxford Univeresity Press.
How has the Islamic Republic developed ideologically since the revolution of 1979? What are the best ways of comprehending the country at this critical juncture in its history? In this book, Arshin Adib-Moghaddam combines theory and lived experience to explain the foreign relations and domestic politics of post-revolutionary Iran. He guides the reader through the country's complex identity and actions, from the nuclear issue to Iran's perpetual political standoff with the United States, from the future of Iranian democracy to Iranian-Arab relations, from American neoconservatism to Islamic utopian-romanticism, and from Avicenna to Ayatollah Khomeini.
Published by Routledge in 2006 as a part of the Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern Politics series. Republished in paperback in 2009.
Key issues explored include:
- the rise and fall of Arab and Persian nationalism
- the international repercussions of the Islamic revolution in Iran
- the events surrounding the three Gulf Wars
- the ideology and disruptive impact of terrorist networks such as al-Qaeda
- why US foreign policies have threatened the regional order in the Persian Gulf.

Wendell Berry on rural life and ecological complexity
Here is an essay by Wendell Berry on the present and the future of the rural US, where fewer and fewer people live from the land and hence act as observers and stewards of the land. If you've read much Berry, he's not saying anything very new or different here. But these themes that he keeps returning to just become more and more relevant, the problems he explores becoming more and more extreme. He also reminds us of the complexity of nature, and how even conservation scientists in the US (where scientists are abundant and very active) are unable to explain much of what is happening in broad swaths of our environment, when they're not totally unaware of what is happening there. Not a promising prospect.


The Fenians Place in Irish History
the reduction of Montreal, a demand will be made upon the United States for a
formal recognition of Canada, whose name will be changed at once to New
the middle of the 19th Century, a series of factors combined to create a new
Irish patriotic movement. This organization was a revolutionary group dedicated
to the overthrow of British rule in Ireland. It had its roots in both the United
States and Ireland and was popularly known as The Fenian Movement, in
honour of the Fianna, the ancient Irish warriors.
The origin of the term Fenian comes from Irish folklore. It
described an ancient group of Knights who were self-reliant and had a passion
for Irish land. So great was their passion according to the legend, they gave up
a chance for world dominion to keep Ireland. This fit very closely with the
beliefs of the modern movement and was taken as the organization name.
Times were hard for the Irish, and had been since England
took control of the land. In the middle of the 1840's, however, things got much
worse. The potato famine of 1845-1848 was a great disaster to the Irish
population. In the space of three short years, the inhabitants of the country
declined by over two million souls. Some of these two million people immigrated
to America while most starved to death or died of disease.
the famine ended, times remained very hard for the Irish. They never completely
recovered from the disaster and many more Irish immigrated to America during the
1850's. Most of these people were of a very strong patriotic belief in their
home country, and only left because they had to survive.
On St. Patrick's Day, 1858, James Stephens and Thomas Clark
Luby started the Fenian organization in Ireland as the Irish Republican
Brotherhood when they swore each other in as members. James had been a
participant in the Young Ireland Movement of 1848. A friend of James
Stephens, John O'Mahoney (also of the Young Ireland movement) started the Fenian
Movement in the United States at about the same time. Both portions of the
movement gained supporters rapidly, especially during 1861. This influx was
largely contributed to the death of Terrance Bellew MacManus, a hero of the
Young Ireland movement who died in this year. Upon his request, his body was
shipped from San Francisco to Ireland for burial, and all along the route
patriotic Irish paid their respects.
In Ireland the movement was largely unsuccessful, as the
British clamped down on it quickly in a successful effort to stop the problem.
They did, however, manage to get the attention of Parliament to focus for a
short time on the "Irish problems".
In the United States however, the organization continued to
grow quickly. Many of the American members gained military experience during the
American Civil War and therefore were becoming a force to be feared. Rumors
spread that the American Fenians were going to invade what is now Canada. The
rumours were not unfounded, as the American group was quickly gaining arms,
money, and various other kinds of support including that of the US government.
According to Donald MacKay, author of Flight from Famine,
the Fenians planned three separate invasions:
one aimed at Campobello Island in New Brunswick never materialized; that at Fort
Erie and Ridgeway in Upper Canada was driven back after some initial success;
and the effort to invade Quebec's Eastern Townships near Frelighsburg was
thwarted by Montreal militia, among them Patrick Devlin, president of the St.
Patrick's Society, and other Catholics of the sort the Fenians had hoped to
The goal of the invasion was to attain control of what is now
Canada and hold it in ransom for the freedom of Ireland. Their initial efforts
were somewhat successful, but were quickly tempered by the American government,
which stepped in to stop the raids.
Seumas McManus, author of The Story of the Irish Race,
says the withdrawal of American governmental support for the Fenians dealt a
serious blow to the movement:
invasion of Canada, which would undoubtedly have been a successful move, and a
severe blow to England, was stopped by the unexpected action of the American
Government, which, having tacitly encouraged the scheme, and permitted the plans
to be ripened, stepped in at the last moment to prevent it."
Had it not been for this American assistance to the British
cause, the raids might have been successful and the history of Canada could have
been quite different. The raids continued through 1871, although the
organization was now full of spies, which reported and therefore spoiled all
organization remained active for quite some time, and even sponsored John
Holland to build them a submarine. The Fenian Ram was launched in 1881
and later stolen from John Holland in 1883 by the Fenians in a disagreement over
money. But their financing of the project help him to continue his research and
in later years he built the first 'modern' submarine of the United States Navy.

Considering the forbidding aspect of their new land, it is not surprising that the music of the early settlers was essentially prayer set to song. The first music published in the Colonies appeared in the 1698 edition of the Bay Psalm Book.
In the early 1700s the well-to-do imported manuscripts of music from Europe to play for dancing and concerts. In the early 1800s more people had time and money for the pursuit of culture, and the music of European courts and concert halls was widely heard, especially in the cities. By the mid- 1800s
European romantic melodies were the favorite music for the old and the young. Being played very often, they soon were very famous. Into this "sea" of romanticism sailed American first great songwriter, Stephen Foster, who became famous in the 1850s for "My Old Kentucky Home" and other "plantation songs", as he called them.
America, at last, was beginning to find a voice of its own, and Foster's melodies were sung in the minstrel shows popular in his day. With the wave of German immigration in the mid-19th century came many trained musicians who — as performers, composers, and teachers — spread an enthusiasm for romanticism and for that romantic instrument, the piano. The already growing piano business increased tremendously. One of the chief manufacturers was Henry Steinweg, a German immigrant, who changed his name to Steinway. By 1860 there were 22000 pianos in America.
The Civil War brought martial music, and this music, in its turn, accelerated the development of the bright sound of the brass band, which — with Sunday concerts in the park — became one of America's most popular musical institutions for the next half century. Enthusiasm for martial ensembles spread so rapidly that by the turn of the century more than 20000 amateur and professional brass bands were giving regular concerts in towns and villages throughout the country. At the turn of the 20th century the music most widely representative of this country was gaining a fast-growing audience.
This appealing new freewheeling sound was called jazz. Rooted in the field hollers and work songs of the plantations, levees, turpentine camps, and prisons, early jazz and the blues, firstly, music of the black, had haunting echoes of an American past. This music, in all its cultural and ethnic permutations, has perhaps done as much to create understanding and respect among all races as no other single force in American history.
The popular song, that tuneful product of Tin Pan Alley, and country Western music are two other American creations that have struck responsive chords around the world. Until the early 1900s most classical music and most of the conductors and soloists came from Europe.
Then a few American musicians, such as Charles Ives and Henry Cowell, began to create new sounds in their own way inspiring interest in contemporary music. Encouraged by outstanding schools of music, this interest has made the United States a leader in musical experimentation and innovation. Classical music composed in the US today is as American as folk music and jazz.


Reports are in about five major UFO sightings in London, Ottawa, Washington, Tokyo and Canberra. The Media is all over it. Social media is bursting with smart phone videos. People are dialoguing about what some witnessed first-hand on the Internet. Never has a topic gone viral as this one. The sheer size of these spacecraft is beyond description. They are larger than anything anyone has ever witnessed. Who are they? Why did they come in such an impressive ship? What do they want? Have they come here to harm us or help us? These are questions that Humanity will want to know right away.
Ascension Prophecies tells all! It’s about knowing what’s to come and provides reassurances that the coming of ETs are for the ultimate good of Humanity. It delves into who will ultimately disclose that UFOs really exist and the eventual meetings that will take place when First Contact is made between Humanity and our new extraterrestrial friends. What will be the public reaction to the Major UFO sighting and First Contact? This is what this book describes the eventual interactions we will have with them. There won’t be widespread panic. Some would like us to think this would happen. It may sound like a conspiracy theory, but some of our governments have known and interacted with them since WWII.
What effect will this have on some of our major institutions? What role with the UN play? What will be the effect on major world religions? Can we expect any repercussions on our economy? Some of this, and more, is revealed in this book.
We are in an unprecedented time in Human history. This book tells the story of how humanity is saving itself from itself. The ETs aren’t here to rescue us; they are here to welcome us into their Federation. It’s not bad news that they are here; it is good news for all of us. They are going to share technologies with us that will eliminate poverty on our planet. The predictions made about the apocalypse are off the table. We are entering into a Golden Age and the book Ascension Prophecies provides some glimpses as to how the wonderful future that is ahead of us will manifest.

What Abstract Apa Example Is – and What it Is Not
The business and scientific worlds define various assortments of abstracts based on their requirements. It’s also important to mention the info in details so the reader could reproduce the study. Furthermore, the profile may be used vertically as well horizontally.
If you’re using more than three abstract sources, it is going to be a trying job for you to mention them all on your own. After discovering our website, you will no longer will need to bother friends and family with these kinds of requests.

Abstract Apa Example Features
Attempt to convince the reader your paper is worth reading and provide a succinct overview of it. You could also see essay outline. When you start your academic paper, you should thoroughly understand what type of essay you will want to finish.
Making an APA outline is the very first issue to do in developing a structure on what is going to https://www.haifa.ac.il/index.php/en/home-eng be written in the paper and the way it’s written. They save researchers a great deal of reading. Superior abstracts are short and concise (no more than 1 paragraph), and they give a simple breakdown of the information to be shown in your paper.
There is a particular demand for giving credits to the authors, that are writing the journals, articles, and books since they have spent lots of time and energy to come up with a particular theory or writing. A great instance of a scholarly tone are found in your textbook or journal articles. An essay is a somewhat brief bit of writing on a particular topic.
Top Choices of Abstract Apa Example
The report covers its major elements and offers valuable examples. Titles are often utilised in information-retrieval systems. Unlike other kinds of abstracts, you’re not supposed to end this up without adding major key phrases.
Only the regions of the major body should have headings! If additional explanation is required, a note can be added under the table. There’s no period at the conclusion of the list of keywords.
Abstract Apa Example – the Conspiracy
Each subsequent page should finally have the correct header. A good example of an abstract in case you decide you need one can be very beneficial for inspiration. It’s possible that a whole lot more than 60 dissertations are written with those 3 words somewhere in the body of the whole work.
It should entail the next features. Use an ampersand in case the work has a few authors. In order to make it interesting, one needs to vary the length of sentences, and, of course, be clear and specific.
Motivations and maturity, skills, it’s the best prospect. Another aspect that could impact your calligraphy is your self-esteem. The options of the various aspects can be endless.
Since we’ve already mentioned the journals, it would be best to think about the peculiarities of citing them. Citing has several peculiarities you need to remember. APA recommends five-level heading structure based on the degree of subordination.
In the Introduction, the research hypothesis related to every study also should be clearly defined. Your analysis needs to be supported by research. Bear in mind, your study may not always create the outcomes you anticipated.
Getting the Best Abstract Apa Example
Since many readers will choose whether to read your article dependent on the abstract, it is necessary your abstract be accurate, concise, and offer valuable information regarding your topic. While the abstract will be at the start of your paper, it must be the previous section that you write. The list of sources used also assists the readers to receive all crucial information regarding the book, article, etc. so it would be less difficult for them to find it.
The title of paper goes on top of the webpage and isn’t bold. The first thing you are going to want to do is make certain your very first page is formatted independently from the rest of the part of the paper. Each page, starting from the cover page, must be enumerated.
It’s going to be free, accurate and quick. So as to succinctly describe your whole paper, you’ll need to learn which elements are the most significant. The last step is to correct the true table of contents.
There’s a format for every person to follow for the simplicity of understanding. Thus it is by far the most important single element in the proposal. There’s also a third type called critical, but it’s rarely utilized.
There’s always a start to begin an end. The most important thing is to give a crystal clear definition. In the instance of a lengthier work, it could be far less.


Does Our Present Echo Our Past?
"What do we care about what they did 500 or 1,000 years ago? ... History is more or less bunk." Henry Ford didn't think very highly of the study of the past. Why should any of us? Is there value in reading about dead guys in dusty books?
Undoubtedly, history has its limitations. It's written primarily by the victors, who were subject to the prejudices, misperceptions, and errors of judgement that cloud interpretations of how events really unfolded. It doesn't allow us to predict the future. There is no formula for the past that allows us to plug in variables of the present and reach a clean solution that unlocks the future’s mysteries. Our reality is much too chaotic for this. It is influenced by the whims of man, the forces of nature, and the acts of God, none of which generally follow any predictable pattern.
But this does not mean there is no value in history. I would argue that the reflection on the failings of humans throughout history affords us moral contemplation on our own present and illuminates the methods to follow and pitfalls to avoid when creating the best version of our own future.
We also look to the past as a road map for how we arrived at our present. It provides understanding of how humans, and by extension, governments, corporations, and armies, have behaved in times of war and peace. Is this not a useful starting point for making sense of the world around us today?
To stop here would be to ignore how entertaining history can be. If written well, we share a bit of the suspense of past battles and the sorrow of the death of kings, all while experiencing the joy of fusing a bond between our past and our present.
Each of the entries that follow will highlight a historical event and attempt to explain its significance. Parallels will be shown between it and the events shaping our world today, drawing on context from the past to help us understand the present and, in so doing, better prepare us for the future. Above all, the intention is to entertain.
Leave it to Mark Twain, America’s greatest wit, to sum up the previous paragraphs in a single quip: “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” History is a collection of dishes cooked with the same ingredients, the tastes varying only slightly at each serving. It is my hope that these writings will help improve your palates.


The Science of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry
The science of Periodontics and restorative Dentistry was evolved in 1981 by Dr. Gerald Kramer Chairman of
the periodontal Department Goldman School of Dental Medicine.
At this time Dr. Gerald Kramer released a journal in conjunction with the Quintessence publications named the

place and was met by tremendous success Internationally and remained to be the icon Meeting at Boston city each 3 years up till today .
The credit goes back to Dr. Myron Nevins who kept the legacy of Dr. Gerald Kramer for this science surviving showing the Impact of the Science of Periodontics on the Restorative Dentistry.
The integration of the restorative Dentistry with the periodontal concepts should be in intimate relation for the success of any restoration starting by a filling and ending by full mouth reconstruction .
Margins and Embrasures of these restorations are of prime considerations to preserve the integrity of the periodontium .

The Beatles and Sgt. Pepper: A Fans’ Perspective is just that — a book about Sgt. Pepper, written by fans for fans.
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band is the most famous album by the most famous band in the history of rock ’n’ roll. It became the soundtrack for the Summer of Love (1967), with its music constantly flowing out of Hi-Fi systems, portable record players and radios throughout the world. That summer, people weren’t just listening and dancing to Sgt. Pepper, they were discussing its music, its sounds, its lyrics and its remarkable cover. The attention to detail taken by The Beatles for every aspect of the album, from its recording down to the red and white psychedelic inner sleeve that held the vinyl disc, made Sgt. Pepper an all-encompassing and mind-blowing experience collectively shared by millions.
In addition to essays written by Spizer, Al Sussman, Frank Daniels, Piers Hemmingsen and Bill King, the book contains over 80 fan recollections ranging from “everyday people” to Beatles authors (Mark Lewisohn) and musicians (Peter Tork of The Monkees, Pat Dinizio of The Smithereens, former Wings drummer Denny Seiwell and Billy Joel). The book has over a hundred full color and original black and white images, including intimate photographs from 1967 of fans holding the album cover. These images and heart-felt memories add a personal touch demonstrating the true impact of the act we’ve known for all these years, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
As with Bruce’s other books, and in keeping with the spirit of the Sgt. Pepper album, The Beatles and Sgt. Pepper: A Fans’ Perspective is a treat both visually and from an information and story-telling experience.

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown
Review by Javed Iqbal
Published: May 29, 2006
Dan Brown's fictional book provides historical perspective to events which ended up in concealing Jesus' possible marriage and possible his human side (rather than his divinity). We see in this book a reporting of historical events which led to a concealment of Jesus' message - worship God alone.
Since this website is devoted to presenting the truth of God's religion in the scriptures with an emphasis on the Quran, we thought a review is in order of Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code."
I read the book in summer of 2003 and saw the movie adaptation on the opening weekend.
Jesus & Mary Magdalene
The book's main theme, disturbing to some of the Christians, is that Jesus married Mary Magdalene, a child was born and the lineage continues to this day. This marriage of Jesus, if true, would bring into question Jesus' purported divinity.
From our perspective, Dan Burton has done great historical research to bring to light certain issues we consider much more prominent than Jesus' alleged marriage. To put aside the marriage issue, the Quran makes no mention of Jesus getting married. However, from the following verse, one may conclude all messengers were married, even though the word "all" is not in the verse.
[13:38] We have sent messengers before you, and we made them husbands with wives and children. No messenger can produce a miracle without GOD's authorization, and in accordance with a specific, predetermined time.
We consider the historical narrative (within conversations) in the book, about events leading to the Nicene Creed in 325 AD of great prominence. A decent size dictionary will point out that Nicene is a city in Turkey where the Nicene Creed was formulated 300 years after the death of Jesus Christ. The book details the political considerations which gave rise to the Nicene Creed.
Jesus' message of worshipping God alone
The Creed, now accepted by most churches today is distinct from Jesus' teachings of greatest commandment or the first commandment of "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and first commandment" [Mathew 22:38-39]. The footnote to these verses in The New American Bible, Catholic Bible Press, 1987; states, "Mathew omits the first part of Mk's fuller quotation (12, 29, Dt 6, 4-5), probably because he considered its monotheistic emphasis needless for the church." The omitted part referred to in the foot note states, "You shall worship/love my Lord, and your Lord..."

The History of Soul 2065
by Barbara Krasnoff
Mythic Delirium Books
Literary Fiction , Sci Fi & FantasyOne of the coolest aspects of this book are where the stories first appeared, some of which are professional (but not the major venues), others semi-professional and yet one of them was in the running for a Nebula:
Space and Time, Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, Weird Tales, Mythic Delirium, Apex Magazine, Electric Velocipede, Clockwork PhoenixYet here they are: stories collected between two book covers--a place that commands respect.
One key of the collection is the simplicity of the tales, which is probably good considering their non-traditional structure. They aren't really character stories where someone learns something (although maybe) or where someone should have learned something but didn't or plot stories where a character solves a problem. If any, it's the lattermost, but it pulls deus ex machinas, or solves someone else's problems. You'd think the stories would trip and land flat on their faces. But they don't. Strangely they can be satisfying like sipping hot mocha on a hot day.
Let's take, for an example, the Nebula finalist that Jane Yolen reprinted, "Sabbath Wine." It's the story Malka Hirsch's Dad's struggle to get wine for her bat mitzvah (even though it's for boys, even though the dad is secular, even though something which is the great secret at the end). It's all a MacGuffin, and we don't even start in our protagonist's POV or get his name until the third scene. The story itself is something of a mosaic. The opening scene is something of prologue although it's useful to the story. And I can't tell more without ruining it.
In fact most of these stories don't develop in a normal fashion making them difficult to summarize. Most people are probably scratching their heads why the story made it as far it did.
"The Cancer God" is a pretty good not-exactly-deal-with-the-devil story where Abe is dying of cancer and doesn't want to be. "The Ladder-Back Chair," the second of two stories that Yolen especially liked, is sure to resonate with those who have lost someone near and dear. Joan lost her spouse, Morris, who had been dying by degrees. Interestingly, both of the stories Yolen liked have surprise endings that hinge upon them.
Other stories of note include "The Sad Old Lady"--a tale of young girl who is terrified when she sees herself as she will be when she gets old. "In the Gingerbread House" relates how a cheap pasteboard jewel becomes an instrument to tell stories and save lives. "Time and the Parakeet" is a fantasy time-travel tale where random chance allows someone to make a simple choice that improves one's life for the better. A boy has "An Awfully Big Adventure" when visited by a witch figure--however he's been given numbers that will help. "Rosemary Is for Remembrance" is actually a rare story which does the opposite of the other: It takes something that seems sweet (a trip to the beauty parlor) and renders it horrifying. In "Stoop Ladies" a woman seems to be at the end of her rope until she visits the ladies who gossip on their stoop. "Escape Route" almost worked for me--lovely setup but Krasnoff didn't carry out the ending with her usual magic.
Those are the major stories (about half) that stood out for me. Do they hang together? There's a little bit of a frame story. Two young women meet in the woods and vow to meet again. Chance prevents their reuniting although their descendants do at the end.
The book's description makes a claim of being a mosaic novel, which is said to be a novel of stories that share the same setting or characters. I'm leaning on the term "novel" to build toward some plot, character, or thematic resonance--perhaps all three. One might claim many Dickenson novels as mosaic novels since they are stories that eventually tie together as some of the threads come to have great importance by the novel's end.
I'll throw in a few other terms as well. There's the "fix-up," which is a group of stories that usually follow characters through time but don't often build toward something greater than the individual stories themselves--pleasing as the individual stories may be. This includes a number of Van Vogt fix-up "novels" and some of the Moorcock fix-up novels like Elric. Any episodic adventure like Swift's Gulliver's Travels would fit. Then there are thematic or motif collections like Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles since, although some seem to build toward something, that eventually fades.
Stross's Accelerando is an interesting case. If you consider the developing artificial intelligence as a character, then it's a mosaic novel. If not, then it's part thematic collection, part fix-up.
Where does Krasnoff's The History of Soul 2065 fit along this continuum? If you can tell by the summaries, it's probably closer to thematic/motif collection. Like Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles, plot or character threads do connect the stories, but not across the board. Even the stories, that directly connect via characters appearing in one to die in another, don't rely heavily on what was built up in a previous story. They do hang together in the sense of characters who want to peer beyond the grave or peer into the past, often focusing on the Holocaust. This probably coheres the narratives more strongly than anything else.
What one calls this book may be less important than knowing the overall effect, and for the most part, most Krasnoff stories leave the reader with a little hope and a sweet tenderness, no matter how dismal one's circumstances may be. And that may be all you need to know.

About the composer
Charles Villiers Stanford (1852 - 1924) was born in Dublin, Ireland, but a convinced Protestant. Though he was Irish to the marrow (his third symphony is called "the Irish", and he composed six "Irish Rhapsodies") he worked all his life in England, especially in Leeds. He composed many choral works, for instance Songs of the Sea and Songs of the Fleet, a Requiem and five operas. It is not known why the Protestant Stanford composed a Stabat Mater.
About the Stabat Mater
|Performers||Soprano, alto, tenor, bass, choir and orchestra|
|Particulars||The composition is divided into five sections, of which the first, the Prelude, and the third, the Intermezzo, are instrumental. Stanford himself gave it the subtitle "Symphonic Cantata".|
|Textual variations||The "Analecta"-text is used, with a
- Stanza 16, line 2: not "Passionis ejus sortem" but "Passionis fac consortem"
However, in two places Stanford breaks through the order of the poem's stanzas: after the "dum emisit spiritum" the soprano repeats "Stabat Mater Dolorosa" and after the third stanza in the second section the chorus repeats the opening sentence "Eia Mater, fons amoris".
|CD||Chandos CHAN 9548: Stanford, Stabat Mater - Te Deum - Bible Songs|
|About this CD||Recorded at the Leeds Town Hall, November 1995.|
|Choir||Leeds Philharmonic Chorus|

Pamela Helen Stephen, mezzo-soprano
Nigel Robson, tenor

On a recent visit to the library, I brought home a book called 7000 Islands. The author, Yasmin Newman, writes about growing up in Sydney and being exposed her mum’s Filipino heritage by way of its cuisine.
Getting everything ready.
I started flicking through the pages today to see which recipe I can try, bearing in mind that I needed to fill the bread tin. I could not have picked a better recipe to start with! This buttery, sweet, cheese-topped brioche, fondly called Ensaymada, is a real star. Here is her recipe.
After the first rise. Cutting the dough into 12 to fit my paper-lined cupcake tin.
Filling the flattened dough balls with softened butter and grated cheese, and rolling them up like logs.
Shaping like snails, and into the tin for proofing.
Cooling in tins. Time to cream the butter and sugar, and grate some more cheese.
Ta-daaa! Ready to devour.


What is PAIP?
PAIP stands for Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming and is a book written by Peter Norvig.
It is wiedly seen as one of the best programming books and it is definitly the book to read if you are interesting in lisp and AI - like I am.
The best of this book is that the programs are really developed. Norvig doesn't give the complete and bug-free implementation of the examples, but he shows the process of writing the programs: starting from a simple description to a minimal implementation - then showing limitations of the programs and how to resolve them. This makes the book a great programming book in general.
Porting PAIP to clojure
After reading the first few chapters I decided to give me a challenge to translate the examples in Common Lisp to clojure. After reading the first few chapters I decided to give me a challenge to translate the examples in Common Lisp to clojure.
I will not copy the whole book, but I will give a general overview of the chapters and the process of iterative refinement of the implementations of the examples.
It will be possible for you to follow the examples even if you don't have a copy of PAIP but I highly recommend that you get one. This book is worth it's money.
The Book is divided in 5 Parts:
1. Introduction to Common Lisp:
In this part Norvig gives a short introduction to Common Lisp and highlights the advantages of common lisp. I will only translate the 2nd chapter: a simple lisp program to clojure.
2. Early AI programs
This part contains implementations of early AI programs like GPS-the general problem solver (wich is actually not so general...), ELIZA and STUDENT.
3. Tools and Techniques
This part contains topics like low-level efficiency Issues. This part will be interesting to port to the more functional clojure. It also covers Logic Programming,OOP and Knowledge Representation and Reasoning.
4. Advanced AI Programs
Norvig shows in this part examples of Advanced AI programs, like Expert Systems, Constraint Satisfaction, Natural Language Procesing and Unification Grammars. It ends with a Chapter about developing a Grammar for English.
5. The Rest of Lisp
In this part Scheme is covered. And a interpreter and a complete compiler for Scheme is implemented (with tail-call-recursion and call-cc). It contains also a very helpful chapter about Troubleshooting.
I plan to write the blog posts as Literate Programming files with org-mode + babel which has support for clojure. This has the advantage, that i can test my code on the go, extract the source-code from the document automagically and export the document to html which I post here. I am also planning to get an github account, so that i can make the files publicy available, so

WE ARE THE CENTER OF THE WORLD
In 1915, New Orleans bungalow architect Morgan Dudley E. Hite (1882-1959) developed a map titled “New Orleans –Center of the World” (shown above). Mayor Martin Behrman’s administration liked the map so much, it was used in a full-page advertisement the following year (shown below), accompanied by the passage:
“New Orleans is not content to rest secure and apathetic in her position as the center of the world, the center of world population, the center of world-production, the center of world-navigation.”
“That much was done for the City of New Orleans by Nature.”
“But to supplement this handsome and generous work of Nature the City of New Orleans is building for the future when the new industrial empire at her door will have been developed; when the wet lands at her door have been reclaimed; when the cut-over pine lands will have been turned to the plow; when the natural resources of her tributary section will have been made to yield the golden tribute of their promise.”(1)
