Te Kumara Reka by emerging Māori playwright Matiu Te Huki is a new Te Reo play commissioned by Taki Rua Productions (Pukunui, Kia Ngawari) that focuses on the power of positive reinforcement for rangatahi.
Whetu is an intelligent and talented student, content to hide her light for fear of being called a show-off or big-headed -something she considers to be very uncool.
One day she is visited by Rua; a happy, fun loving and wise spirit who, remains unfazed by anything life may throw his way. Through their meeting Whetu learns about the universal laws of attraction and she discovers that the power of positive thought can bring about positive results in her life.
Along the way they encounter Waha, the school care takers teenage son and wannabe hip hop gangster, who suggests her skills will best be used making cups of tea rather than taking centre stage. Waha’s negative words leave Whetu doubting her abilities and Rua’s guidance.
Rua’s unfazed approach to his newest challenge takes all three of them on a journey of discovery into the ancient Māori world where they examine Tikanga Māori and its relevance in today’s modern world. This insight gives Whetu and Waha an opportunity to put their differences aside and tautoko each other in a positive and productive way.
Te Kumara Reka addresses big issues in an entertaining way by weaving together dance, waiata and humour. Suitable for whanau from ages 4 and up, Te Kumara Reka empowers rangatahi to say “Yes I am talented, beautiful, powerful and I’m ok with that!”
Taki Rua Production’s Te Karakia is a love story of religious and racial challenge, forgiveness and hope, set amidst the maelstrom of the 1981 Springbok Tour.
Estranged from both his family and faith, Matthew Connell’s new regimented existence in the police force is threatened when Ranea, a young Māori woman from his childhood, re-emerges to challenge his future. With civil unrest brewing across the country, Matthew is forced to confront his past. A production guaranteed to leave you on the edge of your seat.
An extremely entertaining and uplifting play about sharing, friendship, the value of family and te ao Māori – “Moa Can't Fly” featuring Pukunui and his friend Moata Moa will reward all
those who experience it.
There is magic, humour and Pukunui teaches the audience about the environment. The set is made from recycled materials and great importance has been placed on making the entire production environmentally friendly - integrating environmental education into our children"s lives as well as those in the community.
Respect for the diversity of people and cultures is also an important part of achieving a sustainable environment as it helps to create an environment that is fair, peaceful, cooperative and makes the most of our rich cultural traditions.
Māori perspectives and knowledge of the environment offer unique insights built up over time. This play will help develop student awareness and sensitivity to the environment, knowledge and understanding of the environment, attitudes and values that reflect concern for the environment, and the skills and responsibility to act in addressing environmental issues.

Amongst the reefs and through the tides Papaka meets an eclectic range of outrageous sea inhabitants both friend and foe including Wheketori the octopus, Korora the dancing penguin, and Kaihi-Ika the hungry fisherman. Papaka soon finds out that to navigate through life’s rough waters one needs to help others in order to help ones self.
Filled with haka, waiata, music and performed entirely in te reo Māori, Kia Ngawari promises to be an entertaining and moving adventure suitable for children and adults alike.

Taki Rua Productions and Humourbeasts invite you to enter into a new kind of theatre experience. Join us as we bring the ancient legends of Maui-tikitiki-a Taranga into the modern age and tell them in a funny way.
Young Tama is a troubled teen. His Nanny a simple but wise woman, is given the task of imparting to her wayward grandson, the sacred knowledge and lessons of her forefathers through the tales of Maui, our most revered ancestor.
The stories take us on a journey into ancient Hawaiki, to a time when the sun raced across the sky like an impatient horse and you could catch fish the size of a small South Pacific nation. Centring around Maui, the tales follow him from birth to death, include all the famous myths and also one or two that have, up until now, never been heard.
At first, young Tama has no interest in these ancient myths, but through his Nanny’s incredible storytelling abilities, coupled with state of the art multi-media devices such as massive back-projections, puppetry and computer animated characters, the young fool is soon drawn in to the mysterious and fantastical world of Maui and his famous exploits.

Angus has lured Mo into many mines with the promise of earning enough money to get back home. Now working as strike breakers in the union stronghold of the West Coast, all Mo wants is to feel the sun on his back instead of 1000ft of earth.
But Angus has a different motive, using his brothers ability to see “don’t knows”, spirits that don’t know they are dead, to find a way to Ruaumoko, God of earthquakes, volcanoes and the unborn child, in the hope of reclaiming the soul of the child he has lost.
Into the pit comes Pushy, their trucker, a Welshmen who is not what he seems, offering Mo the possibility of independence and hope in the face of tragedy.

His gentle approach to the harsh realities of losing a loved one is encapsulated in this production. He captures the mammoth journey of two children, who must face the world without their Mother.

On 6th Febraury 1839 the Treaty of Waitangi, the founding document of modern New Zealand was signed between the British crown and the Maori chiefs. Although much contested, it committed to a sharing of the land between both the Maori and British settlers (more widely known as the Pakeha "white people"), and respect of both English and Maori languages as official languages of the state. Woman Far Walking is a stunning work of imagination and memory by the acclaimed New Zealand writer Witi Ihimaera, through the creation of a character, Te Tiriti O Waitangi Mahana, born on the same day as the signing of the treaty. For the entire time that Maori and Pakeha have shared New Zealand, she has walked with them.
"This is a story which encapsulates 161 years of political history," says Ihimaera. "It’s important for women and it’s important for the Treaty. I think of myself as a storyteller and it’s important this story is told

The list price is $50.00, which isn’t at all a bad deal. But why pay that much when amazon.com has it available for $31.50? That’s a deal the Merchant of Venice would recommend!

WHEN RECOMMENDING A soundtrack for your roadtrip, we look for local ties. With Inyokern published as the lastest dispatch, it made us think of California's high desert. Inevitably, the Bakersfield sound came to the fore.
While Buck Owens duly receives credit for creating the Bakersfield sound, Merle Haggard is probably most attached to this sub-genre of country music. Emerging in the 1950s, the Bakersfield sound refers to the use of electric instruments and a well-defined back beat, which had been audibly absent for most country stars before this era.
The implementation of electric guitars and fiddles, pedal steel guitar and heavier bass and drum lines eventually led to the honky tonk – or outlaw – country style.
Haggard was born in 1937 just north of Bakersfield in Oildale, Calif. His rough and scrabble life was the inspiration for much of his music. His songs reflect the people, times and trials of the day. Rolling Stone once wrote that Haggard "composed and performed one of the greatest repertoires in country music, capturing the American condition with his stories of the poor, the lost, the working class, heartbroken and hard-living."
His 1969 essential album "A Portrait of Merle Haggard" – performed together with The Strangers, his backing band of that era – is a virtual audio book of history on this era and its troubled times. Songs like "Workin' Man Blues" and "I Came So Close to Losing my Home" are softened only by the wistful wishing of "She Thinks I Still Care" and "I Die Ten Thousand Times a Day." Heavy stuff.
But the album features plenty of the new Bakersfield sound, along with the typical heartache attached so tightly with country music.
Also released in 1969 by Haggard and The Strangers was "Okie from Muskogee" which was an unintended anthem for those fighting in Vietnam. But "Portrait" offers a true glimpse of the early Haggard sound.
Haggard, inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1994, died in 2016.

There are so many good poems in the Children's Archive, it's hard to know where to start! I'd like to share with you just a few of my favourites. I've chosen six very different poems: some are funny, others thoughtful, and they're full of places and people and animals and weather and magic. I hope you'll enjoy them, and I hope my suggestions will get you started on your own listening adventures.
When you've listened to a poem, press BACK to come back here.
by Michael Rosen
Let's start with a short, funny poem by Michael Rosen. Michael knows how to make the most ordinary things in life look strange and daft. This poem starts off sounding just like the TV news, but the main headline isn't quite what we're expecting... Isn't my name magical?
by James Berry - Children's Poems
How can my name be magical - it's just a word, isn't it? Not when the poet James Berry talks about it. It shakes me, it brings terror and happiness, it touches me across great distances and switches me on "like it was my human electricity". Once you've heard this poem, you'll never feel quite the same about your name again. Two Seasons
by Valerie Bloom
Like James Berry, Valerie Bloom is a poet whose first home was in the Caribbean. In this poem, Valerie describes the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of Jamaica so vividly that I almost feel I'm there. This is one of the special things a poem can do: pick you up and take you to another place. It may be a grey November afternoon in my street, but when I press the button and play this poem I'm somewhere brighter and warmer, in "de season when mango is king". Picnic
by Judith Nicholls
Back to something closer to home: a picnic on an English beach. This poem by Judith Nicholls is a little conversation between George and his mother as they sit down to eat. You know what it's like on a beach on a windy day: the sand gets everywhere. Still, as George's mum says, "at least the sand is free". Elephant Eternity
by Adrian Mitchell
Adrian Mitchell has always been especially fond of elephants - they appear in quite a few of his poems. Here he describes elephants walking under "juicy-leaf trees", bathing and "fountaining their children in the mothery river". In the way these "strong and gentle" animals behave together, he sees things which are very special and important to all of us: time, happiness and peace. I See You Dancing, Father
by Brendan Kennelly
In the last poem on our Guided Tour, a son remembers his father. As Brendan Kennelly says in his introduction, his father was "a nice, easy-going man who liked to begin the day with a little dance". When I hear the poem, I see him very clearly in my mind's eye. Whatever hard work and troubles the day ahead might bring, he starts by taking a minute or two to whistle and dance... just for the joy of it.

Do Not Say We Have Nothing is a tale of revolutionary China. Spanning from Chairman Mao’s ascent to power, right through to the aftermath of Tiananmen Square. At the centre of the novel, holding the multiple threads together is ten-year-old Marie living with her mother in Canada. Ai-ming is a student running from the fallout of Tiananmen Square who comes into their lives bringing back memories of Marie’s father. Slowly the novel explores China’s bloody revolutions with themes of family, music and love.
Thien provides great insight into the history of China, something I had basically no knowledge of prior to reading this novel. It astounds me that this history is not discussed more widely. Everyone knows about WWII and the Holocaust, but China’s revolutions have killed more people in just as brutal ways. Detention camps, denunciations, friends turning on friends. It is all there in abundance coming slowly to the brutal climax that is the Tiananmen Square massacre. Even more disturbing is how in China “officially” this did not occur. There is no reference to this event in the media, the internet, according to the Chinese government it never happened. This novel made me realise just how lucky we are here in Australia. Don’t get me wrong, there is much we can do to improve our country, however, we can protest our government all we want and we will not see repercussions for speaking our mind, we can choose our own paths of study and work and our government does not filter the internet. I realised I could have it much worse and that I should be grateful in my freedoms. In fact, this book despite being most set in China is not available over there because of the references it makes. Scary thought, huh?
An absolute strength of this novel lies in the characters. Zhuli, Sparrow and Kai are a once inseparable trio, all magnificently talented musically. Idealistic Kai, naive and beautiful Zhuli and Sparrow who lived in his own little bubble. I fell in love with this trio, in particular with Zhuli’s spirit and it breaks your heart knowing that their moments of peace in each other’s company and music cannot last. Beyond this Big Mother, Swirl and Wen the Dreamer are all highlights within the pages. Ai-ming is a mystery that you want more and more of but are left wondering with Marie, pondering what her fate might be.
The use of music and written records add a romantic element into the brutal plot. These little moments of happiness are beautiful and the reader sympathises with how the simple things are what keeps people going in times of hardship and is what can tie people together across generations and continents. Thien weaves a captivating story that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat, impatient to know what happens next, although you are a little scared to find out the truth. This is a memorable novel that tells an important piece of history that we should all be aware of. More than deserving of the Man Booker nomination I do recommend giving this one a read. I give Do Not Say We Have Nothing three of Zhuli’s violins.


“translation becomes an act of reclaiming, of re-centering of the identity. It does not create a new language, but it elevates a dialect to the status of a national and cultural language.”
As part of our weekly translation theory reading group, we had the pleasure to read ‘The Search for a Native Language: Translation and Cultural Identity’ written by Annie Brisset and translated by Rosalind Gill and Roger Gannon (in Venuti (2000), The Translation Studies Reader, pp. 343-376).
This seminal work questions the issues surrounding the theory of translation and issues of language; in particular, when framed within the context of minority languages. Brisset questions the traditional notions of Target language and Target text within the context of Quebecois and reveals that “the absence of a target language, the language into which one translates, is not usually cited as a formal translation problem” (p. 345).
Nonetheless, for Brisset, ‘traduit en Québécois’ [translated into Quebecois] rather than ‘traduit en français’ appearing on the front of Michel Garneau’s translation of Macbeth is a re-territorialising operation in which “translation becomes an act of reclaiming, of re-centering of the identity. It does not create a new language, but it elevates a dialect to the status of a national and cultural language” (p. 346)
Since the writing of this article in the 1990s, the visibility of some minorities has become ever-more prevalent in the mediascape and the global consciousness. For better or worse, minority language communities are developing new, locally grown methods for disseminating their culture through peer-to-peer dialogue, ever-diverse media offerings and through Web 2.0.
Nonetheless, we wanted to investigate whether the issues that Brisset raises in this article are this relevant today. We invited Yairen Jerez, Laura Linares and Amaia Arakistain Arrieta to talk about the main minority linguistic groups of the Iberian Peninsula and whether some of these issues still hold true.


Recommended: “The Start-Up of You” by Reid Hoffman and Ben Cosnocha
I wanted to recommend the new book “The Start-Up of You” by Reid Hoffman, the co-founder and CEO of LinkedIn and Ben Casnocha, an author and entrepreneur. It’s a book about being an entrepreneur, but not necessarily about starting up a business. Rather, it is a book about, well, as the subtitle says, adapting to the future, investing in yourself, and transforming your career.
This book is not your typical “self-help” career book, these authors have plenty to do other than write a generic self-help book. From the first chapter, titled “All Humans Are Entrepreneurs” to the last chapter, “Who You Know Is What You Know,” it is a concisely written road map of the traits needed to meet the challenges to building a happy life, and economic success. There are many quotes that I especially liked, including the somber, “Remember: If you don’t find risk, risk will find you.” Although the book may seem to be geared to Generation Y, I think it is also more universal, the work of two successful entrepreneur-authors on how they recommend looking at the world and seizing opportunities. At the end of each chapter is a recap of the important points raised, all recaps titled “Invest in Yourself.” I especially liked the sections dealing with the resiliency and resourcefulness of some successful people, which I will highlight in upcoming posts. For more advanced tips on how to invest in your network, the authors have sponsored a website, www.startupofyou.com.
Another favorite quote: “Finished ought to be an F-Word for all of us. We are all works in progress. Each day presents an opportunity to learn more, do more, be more, grow more in our lives and careers.”


Review based on Bruce Barnbaum – “The Art of Photography” 1st edition, 2012
Bruce has been a photography enthusiast for over 40 years now. He doesn’t advocate himself as a “professional photographer” and that is a huge bonus in my books (pun intended). Remaining a hobbyist in your field leaves you with certain freedom for your expression. You carry no restrictions on what is wrong and what is right, unlike when you are commissioned by one of your clients. You can certainly see that in over a hundred photographs present in his book.
Author begins with a short introduction to photography as an art form and from there gets down right to business. He thoroughly explains composition, visualisation, light and colour. He then goes on to teach the reader about the techniques used in image making. From use of filters, through zone system all the way to image printing. Everything is written in a simple enough language, but this does not take away the extensive knowledge author presents you with. He then moves on to few chapters on creativity and visual arts in general, which concludes the book.
The Art of Photography feels like a breath of fresh air between today’s publications. When every other book one the subject of photography focuses mainly on settings for your DSLR, mastering menus and makes you buy more equipment that you could ever need, this book relates to far more important aspects like light and composition (Bruce also goes way beyond your usual rule of thirds), zone system and most importantly the art and heart behind it all. “The Art of Photography” is full of beautiful imagery and illustrations designed to help you get the ideas presented there.
It is a rather pricey book, but after all, you might find that it will be the only book on the subject of photography you will ever need. Seriously. Skip everything else and get a copy, especially that lately this book becomes more rare as Bruce self-published it. I’m lucky enough to have a copy and keep reading it through at least once a year.

Title: Counterintelligence Theory and Practice
Author: Hank Prunckun
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
Edition: Indian, Pentagon Press. 2014
Hank Prunckun, PhD, is an associate professor of Intelligence Analysis at the Australian Graduate School of Policing and Security, Charles Stuart University, Sydney. Dr. Prunckun has served in the Intelligence and Criminal Justice fields for twenty-eight years prior to his current position.
Counterintelligence Theory and Practice exploring issues relating to national security, military, law enforcement and corporate, as well as private affairs, Hank Prunckun use his experience as a counterintelligence professional to explain both the theoretical basis and practical application for real counterintelligence craft. Each chapter contains key words and phrases and a number of study questions and learning activities that make the book a comprehensive tool for learning how to be a counterintelligence.
Counterintelligence: Theory and Practice fills a long-standing void in counterintelligence literature. In this book, Hank Prunckun provides a practical approach, defining a counterintelligence agency as any organization or even nation state and opposition as any person or group with hostile intent. He uses these definitions to discuss issues such as national security, the military, law enforcement, corporate intelligence, and even private affairs. This book equips a reader with an advanced understanding of the underlying theory that supports the art and science of the craft. As for the book s structure, it is arranged into fourteen chapters. These chapters take the reader from the challenges that arise for counterintelligence agencies to the practicalities of defensive and offensive counterintelligence. The book is universal, covering a range of topics in a funnel approach from the general to the specific. Each chapter concludes with a list of key words and phrases, a number of study questions and learning activities, which make it an excellent text for counterintelligence students and scholars. He explains in the preface to Counterintelligence Theory and Practice that he wrote the book to suggest “new remedies” to meet the “new evils” facing “security of classified information and secret operations.” he suggests and provide “advanced understanding of the underlying theory” of CI, and that is the focus of the present work.
Chapter one begins by introducing the reader to the challenges that face counterintelligence, and it does this through historical examples of counterintelligence lessons. While providing pertinent illustrations of why counterintelligence is so important, Prunckun does not walk the reader through constant mundane examples. He quickly moves on to the fundamentals and theories of counterintelligence, which is what makes this book enjoyable. He provides the context of why counterintelligence is important and then pulls the reader into the world of counterintelligence operations. Prunckun, while demonstrating doctrinal counterintelligence processes, provides his own variation of the theories and practice of counterintelligence.
Chapters two and three discuss the fundamentals and theories of counterintelligence, which he lays out nicely for the most novice counterintelligence reader. In chapter two, he lays out his model for offensive and defensive counterintelligence. He introduces the reader to defensive deterrence and defensive detection, offensive detection, offensive deception, and offensive neutralization.
Later in chapter three he further refines the defensive operations to include physical, personal, and other aspects of security. He is clear when mentioning that counterintelligence is much more than security, and he demonstrates this throughout the book. The subsequent chapters, four through eight, discuss in detail Prunckun’s essential topic, offensive and defensive counterintelligence. One chapter at a time, he walks the reader through how the various aspects of defensive and offensive counterintelligence are utilized, planned, and executed.
In first three chapters After reviewing why CI is needed, Prunckun describes further its “taxonomic categories” in terms of “defense and offense” and the various functions in each category. Then he looks at “counterintelligence topology” using the United States Intelligence Community (IC) as an example. This amounts to listing the intelligence agencies involved and noting that each deals with counterintelligence in different ways while also working collaboratively. Turning to CI theory, Prunckun develops a theoretical model for both the defensive and offensive functions. With a theory of how a system should work, he argues, a practitioner should be able to develop a hypothesis, and test whether the system functions as theory suggests.
The rest of the book is devoted to defensive and offensive CI considerations. With respect to the former, he discusses risk, physical barriers, security, background investigation, personnel security, classification, code names, communication issues, to name a few. Concerning offensive topics, he addresses data collection, deception, counterespionage, double agents, and dangles. There are many aspects to this book to appreciate. For one, each chapter begins with a short listing of what the reader will be introduced to, but the true value is at the end of each chapter. Thoughtful study questions can be found after a short review of the key words found in the chapter. These study questions are relevant and a very nice check on learning for the reader. The work would be an excellent introductory textbook.
The final chapter of the book is on ethics. Ethics in counterintelligence cannot be overstated, and Prunckun does a fine job of laying out the importance of them in not merely a chapter on professionalism or business ethics, but through interesting points that should relate to any reader. Prunckun demonstrates how ethics apply to a myriad of academic disciplines, as most of them can be found within the intelligence community. This book is very readable and contains ample pictures to demonstrate the points or structures being discussed. For instance, when discussing defensive physical security, Prunckun includes pictures of properly reinforced fences and other deterrents, while explaining the value they provide to the counterintelligence mission.


With help from letters of indulgence, Heinrich Findelkind was able to inspire numerous people to donate money. We have saved and kept original documents from that time.
As a way of absolving your sins, letters of indulgence played a large role in the middle ages. Heinrich Findelkind recieved letters of indulgence from the church and with them absolved people of their sins in exchange for yearly contributions to the Hospice and chapel. The original documents from the middle ages are currently located in the Stift Stams.

Volkswagen Fellowship Symposium 2014 – Punishment and Regicide: Iconographical Accounts of Ravaillac’s Public Execution in early Seventeenth-century England
My proposal focuses on the visual representation of Ravaillac’s execution in early modern French pamphlets translated into English in 1610. Ravaillac, a Jesuit priest, assassinated king Henry IV in 1610. Based on the works of Orest Ranum and Natalie Zemon Davis, I will argue that the translations of Ravaillac’s execution could be understood as a deterrent against the regicide in early Stuart England. Ravaillac, who had committed the crime of the regicide, which was the worst act of subversion, had in certain sense captured the mana of the king, and consequently the crowd was motivated to collaborate with the executioner and his assistants in completely destroying the body of one who had attacked the bonum commune. The episodic account of Ravaillac’s execution for parricide, both written and depicted, reminds the observer of the return of the regicide to the centre of French political affairs. The depiction of Ravaillac’s death recounts a careful piece of judicial drama trough which the English government intended to send a clear message to the audience. The state made an example of Ravaillac as a deterrent to others and as a symbolic rejection to regicide. Through his public execution the English government sought to purify the community and reject what they defined as a foreign idea, regicide, from early Seventeenth-century England. Indeed, by all accounts the audience at the event supported and even sought to contribute to its message by growing on the traditional roles of the crowd at public executions.
After obtaining a joint MA degree in History at University of Milan and University of Grenoble, Stefania Gargioni is now an Erasmus Mundus Doctoral Fellow (University of Kent – Freie Universitat Berlin). Her thesis focuses on the figure of Henry of Navarre in the French texts translated into English (1570-1610).

New YEAR, NEW YOU!!!
Or if you’re like me, “SAME SHIT, DIFFERENT DAY”.
What’s your story?
In some ways it actually doesn’t matter what your story is. The point is that we all have them. A story. A way to make sense of it all.
I’m reading this book call “Waking” by Matthew Sanford an autobiography of a yoga teacher. But he isn’t just any ordinary yoga teacher. When he was 13 he and his family were in a terrible car accident and although he survived- he was paralyzed from the mid torso down.
In the book he talks about how he coped through the most traumatic event of his life:
“It may seem that the car accident has led me to question fate, to wonder about destiny. Of course it has, but my interest is one of identity, both as a family and as an individual. What is identity in the face of radical disruption. Who was i? Who am i? Who will i be? Truthful answers to these questions often take years and years to realize. This is true whether there is fate or whether there is a plan. To answer such questions we need healing stories."
"Healing trauma requires opening ones life to interpretation. Creating a personal mythology to guide perception, and forging a set of healing stories that create or maintain a sense of identity.”
Healing stories are a way for us to turn the page, to close the book or to end the chapter. All of these are ways to help us move on. To make a connection. This is what yoga is all about. Growing. Evolving. Connecting the dots. Finding meaning. All of which bring us closer to understanding “Who am I?”.
The word yoga comes from the word YUJ meaning to yoke. The place where two things meet. The point of connection.
Stories can help us but they can also hurt us. An excuse, a reasoning, a justification – these are all ways we disconnect. To stay in one place. So we have to ask ourselves, “Is this story helping me to grow and heal? Or is it holding me back?

RBC introduces new online financial resource Quote.ruRBC introduces new online financial resource Quote.ru
Quote.ru aggregates RBC's extensive experience in providing information on stock, financial and commodity markets. The new resource includes news lines, commentaries, exchange data feeds, market share statistics, databases, archives with analytical reviews from leading investment banks; over-the-counter markets, tools for technical analysis and exchange terminals. Additionally, RBC presents a number of new value-added services based on advanced world business technologies on Quote.ru.
For the convenience of users, Quote.ru is divided into several topic sections: 'Equities', 'Bonds', 'Commodities', 'Analysis', 'Exchanges', 'News' and 'Ratings'. The first three will be dedicated to developments in all segments of equity, debt (bonds, promissory notes and state securities) and commodity markets. The sections 'Analysis', 'Exchanges' and 'News' generalize and add to the previous sections by contributing macroeconomic information and data from currency exchanges. At the same time, all the sections of Quote.ru are connected with each other with the help of a convenient search engine and a forum that enables its users to discuss all topics they are interested in.
This resource accumulates a huge amount of information about stock, financial and commodity markets, which has never been done on the Russian Internet before. Most of this online information will be distributed free-of-chare.
"While creating Quote.ru, we were first of all aiming to maximally facilitate activities of professionals as well as inexperienced participants on stock and commodity markets," RBC Media Director Artyom Inutin said. "The main emphasis was made on analytical materials, surveys and forecasts from leading investment companies," he added.


In Unassailable Ideas, Ilana Redstone and John Villasenor examine the dominant belief system on American campuses, its uncompromising enforcement through social media, and the consequences for higher education. They argue that two trends in particular—the emergent role of social media in limiting academic research and knowledge discovery and a campus culture increasingly intolerant to diverse views and open inquiry—are fundamentally reshaping higher education.
Redstone and Villasenor further identify and explain how three well-intentioned unwritten rules regarding identity define the current campus climate. They present myriad case studies illustrating the resulting impact on education, knowledge creation-and, increasingly the world beyond campus. They also provide a set of recommendations to build a new campus climate that would be more tolerant toward diverse perspectives and open inquiry.
An insightful analysis of the current state of academia, Unassailable Ideas highlights an environment in higher education that forecloses entire lines of research, entire discussions, and entire ways of conducting classroom teaching.
A Critique of Anti-racism in Rhetoric and Composition: The Semblance of Empowerment critiques current antiracist ideology in rhetoric and composition, arguing that it inadvertently promotes a deficit-model of empowerment for both students and scholars.
Erec Smith claims that empowerment theory—which promotes individual, communal, and strategic efficacy—is missing from most antiracist initiatives, which instead often abide by what Smith refers to as a primacy of identity”: an over-reliance on identity, particularly a victimized identity, to establish ethos.
Scholars of rhetoric, composition, communication, and critical race theory will find this book particularly useful.
In America we like to think we live in a land of liberty, where everyone can say whatever they want. Throughout our history, however, we have also been quick to censor people who offend or frighten us. We talk a good game about freedom of speech, then we turn around and deny it to others.
In this brief but bracing book, historian Jonathan Zimmerman and Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Signe Wilkinson tell the story of free speech in America: who established it, who has denounced it, and who has risen to its defense. They also make the case for why we should care about it today, when free speech is once again under attack.
Across the political spectrum, Americans have demanded the suppression of ideas and images that allegedly threaten our nation. But the biggest danger to America comes not from speech but from censorship, which prevents us from freely governing ourselves. Free speech allows us to criticize our leaders. It lets us consume the art, film, and literature we prefer. And, perhaps most importantly, it allows minorities to challenge the oppression they suffer. While any of us are censored, none of us are free.
“A liberal society stands on the proposition that we should all take seriously the idea that we might be wrong. This means we must place no one, including ourselves, beyond the reach of criticism; it means that we must allow people to err, even where the error offends and upsets, as it often will.” So writes Jonathan Rauch in Kindly Inquisitors, which has challenged readers for more than twenty years with its bracing and provocative exploration of the issues surrounding attempts to limit free speech. In it, Rauch makes a persuasive argument for the value of “liberal science” and the idea that conflicting views produce knowledge within society.
Controversies in politics arise from many sources, but the conflicts that endure for generations or centuries show a remarkably consistent pattern. In this classic work, Thomas Sowell analyzes this pattern. He describes the two competing visions that shape our debates about the nature of reason, justice, equality, and power: the "constrained" vision, which sees human nature as unchanging and selfish, and the "unconstrained" vision, in which human nature is malleable and perfectible. A Conflict of Visions offers a convincing case that ethical and policy disputes circle around the disparity between both outlooks.
When Alice follows the White Rabbit down his rabbit hole she embarks on the adventure of a lifetime. As she travels through Wonderland Alice learns that in the magical land of the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts, nothing is as it first appears.
In these United States, discord has hit emergency levels. Civility isn't the reason to repair our caustic chasms. Diversity is.
Don't Label Me shows that America's founding genius is diversity of thought. Which is why social justice activists won't win by labeling those who disagree with them. At a time when minorities are fast becoming the majority, a truly new America requires a new way to tribe out.
Drawing on his twenty-five years of groundbreaking research on moral psychology, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt shows how moral judgments arise not from reason but from gut feelings. He shows why liberals, conservatives, and libertarians have such different intuitions about right and wrong, and he shows why each side is actually right about many of its central concerns. In this subtle yet accessible book, Haidt gives you the key to understanding the miracle of human cooperation, as well as the curse of our eternal divisions and conflicts. If you’re ready to trade in anger for understanding, read The Righteous Mind.
Never before has there been a greater need for deeper listening and more open communication to cope with the complex problems facing our organizations, businesses and societies. Renowned scientist David Bohm believed there was a better way for humanity to discover meaning and to achieve harmony. He identified creative dialogue, a sharing of assumptions and understanding, as a means by which the individual, and society as a whole, can learn more about themselves and others, and achieve a renewed sense of purpose.

VIDEO: STAND UP!
Those familiar with Minnesota's past find little surprise in our state's contentious political atmosphere. Divisive politics go back to the very origins of the state in the 19th century and still imprint the diversity of our discourse. As Minnesota historian and author Rhoda Gilman attests, we should cherish our heritage and recognize echoes of Minnesota's rich history cropping up in contemporary protest movements.
Gilman is author of "Stand Up: The Story of Minnesota's Protest Tradition", published in 2012 by Minnesota Historical Society Press, which "connects the dots" of protest movements from the abolitionists, the 1934 truckers' strikes, up to precursors of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

The College Library took its present shape in the beginning of the nineteenth century.
The Central Library is situate in front of Principal’s office. This historical building is located in the centre of the college. It is one of the few buildings which gives a glimpse of the structure which existed at the time of the beginning of the School in 1854. Its architecture is a beautiful example of the buildings of the Victorian era of British Empire. The College Administration takes special care of this historical building.
There are 16304 books available in the stock out of which around one thousand books are from various disciplines there include Encyclopedias, Dictionaries, Pure Science, Social Sciences & Humanities also. All students can study books in the library but books are not issued to take home except from the ‘Text book bank’, meant for poor students.
Back volumes of 292 Medical Journals and Journals of allied subjects are available way back from 19th Century.
The list of journals is available to the profile of S.N. Medical College library on following Link : www.uncat.nic.in
Free online Medical Journals Links :

Internet (Cyber Cafe) Facility
Internet (Broad Band) facility available in the Central Library for all members (Teachers/students) with the nominal charges.
Automation of the library is being introduced and in progress. College administration is very keen to inter link it with National Medical Library (NML) and other medical colleges shortly.
Library has facility for reprography


Part I looks at synchronic dictionaries - those for the general public, monolingual dictionaries for second-language learners, and bilingual dictionaries. Individual sections of the Reference Part may be used in any order, either in class or as self-learning material. . Tonfoni's approach seems to belong to some kind of fringe methodology. Several critical remarks are offered here in the hope that they may be helpful for the next edition. There are clear definitions and plenty of natural examples help you choose the right word every time Write essays that impress. Above all, the profession needs guidance in the practicalities of using corpora, interpreting the results and applying them to the problems and opportunities of the classroom.
The book is divided into four parts, reflecting the main types of lexicography. Available formats depend on the services that provide the distribution of such content third parties. It is therefore appropriate for both classroom use and individual study. Serious readers will somehow cope with the complex structure and will find much excellent material. Such candidates will find it less stressful if they can have relevant and beneficial materials in hand.
It provides a storehouse of information for advanced learners of English who must encode their ideas. All files related to this book are presented for review only in the form of links to external resources and are not stored on our server. These terms demonstrate the inadequacy of the definition in the Activator. Seine Darstellung in deutschen Schulbtichem ftir den Englischunterricht. After the Menu of words and phrases comes the part of the Activator that resembles an ordinary, monolingual dictionary.
It will prove useful when completing tasks from the Use of English part of the exam, completing written assignments or preparing for oral tasks. Detailed textual analyses of contemporary thematic dictionaries identify the characteristic features of the macrostructure, microstructure, and other components from a structural perspective. Longman Essential Activator - Free download here. The Thematic Part will also appeal to teachers: its logical structure and the richness and variety of the presented material will enable them to make their lessons easier to prepare and more diverse. Studien zur Internationalen Schulbuchforschung, Schriftenreihe des Georg-Eckert-Instituts, Band 72. The project was directed by Della Summers. Make a bee line for is listed under make, but make your mouth water is listed under mouth.
How does the Longman Essential Activator improve writing skills? The words belonging to the List are highlighted by a gray line at the left margin of the page. But, what about the American terminology for teaching ranks at colleges and universities such as instructor, lecturer, assistant professor, associate professor, full professor, etc. It offers advice on what to do in the classroom, how to cope with teachers' queries about language, what corpora to use including learner corpora and spoken corpora and how to handle the variability of language; it reports on some current research and explains how the access software is constructed, including an opportunity for the practitioner to write small but useful programs; and it takes a look into the future of corpora in language teaching. Previously, our system checked the all ebook's files for viruses. In the Meaning Menu for careless we find: 1 paying too little attention to what you are doing, so that you make mistakes and do things badly 2 taking too little care in situations that involve danger or risk, so that accidents happen 3 done or made in a careless way, etc.
The appearance of the Activator is to be greeted with pleasure. The dictionary features over 212,000 words, phrases and meanings as well as thousands of examples from academic reports and essays. There are clear definitions and plenty of natural examples help you choose the right word every time Write essays that impress. Lastly, the structure of the Activator is intricate. For meaning 1 of the Meaning Menu given above we find in Numbered section 1 a repetition of the sense listed in the Meaning Menu and then the Menu of words and phrases.
Interspersed in the List are Access Maps designed to help the reader decide which Key Word should be consulted. In my opinion it is the best part of the book. The Activator is to be welcomed by teachers and advanced learners of English and by lexicographers. Information about the versions of the electronic book is preliminary. This innovative dictionary of English was compiled by a large editorial staff from the Longman Group, aided by outside readers and advisors.
Use search and filter categories, and you will find many other books and media files for free download on the same foreign language. Then the Meaning Menu lists by number the various senses of the Key Word. Here you will find links to resources to help in the study of hundreds of languages. Many users will find it difficult to work with such a complicated structure. It also presents a series of corpus-based case studies illustrating central themes and best practices. The book ends with a chronology of the major events in the history of lexicography. Man~woman of few words is listed under words, but man~woman in the street is listed under man, etc.
First, careless, then not take care, then negligent, etc. Prozel3und Text, Lehren und Lernen. The Reference Part and the Thematic Part are closely linked, which allows the teacher to refer their students to the Reference Part while discussing particular topics from the Thematic Part. For example, the Access Map at careless asks which meaning? First, the treatment of varietal differences should be checked. New to this edition: Check your own writing against model essays on common topics - from environment to technology ; Learn how to structure your essays correctly, using the Writing Tips ; A wide range of exercise types, from 'Choose the Right Word' to full guided essay writing practice with model essays and feedback ; Interactive Grammar and Communication guides to find the correct words, phrases and grammar. We have seen that the dictionary includes an Alphabetical Word List, Access Maps, Key Words, Meaning Menus, Numbered sections, Menus of words and phrases, and lastly, defined words and phrases that look like parts of an ordinary monolingual dictionary.


If you don't know any small children to whom you could read the Moomintroll books you should hire a few, just as cover so that you can read them yourself. Tove Jansson, the author responsible for those books, was born a hundred years ago this year:
This year Finland is celebrating the centenary of the birth of Tove Jansson, creator of the Moomins, and one of the most successful children's writers ever. Her life included war and lesbian relationships - both reflected by the Moomins in surprising ways.
There is Moomintroll, Moominmamma and Moominpappa - little white trolls who live in Moominvalley, with other fantastical creatures such as the Hattifatteners, Mymbles and Whompers.
Tove Jansson's Moomin books have sold in their millions, and been translated into 44 languages.
Philip Pullman, author of His Dark Materials, has described her as a genius. Other devotees include Michael Morpurgo, writer of War Horse and dozens of other children's books, and Frank Cottrell Boyce, who scripted the 2012 Olympic opening ceremony.
"I was completely blown away and enchanted," says Boyce, who read Finn Family Moomintroll as a 10-year-old, after discovering the book in a Liverpool library.
"I didn't realise it was set in a real place. I thought she'd made Finland up. Finland was like Narnia, with these incredible characters that were so strange but instantly recognisable because you had met lots of them - noisy Hemulens or neurotic, skinny Fillijonks."
The books are aimed at children. Don't let that stop you from reading at least the Tales from Moominvalley, a 1962 short-story collection.
It is one of the books I might take with me to a deserted island, because of the vast psychological riches the stories contain. It's hard to pick a favorite among them, but if I had to do so I'd pick "The Fillyjonk Who Believed In Disasters,*"for reasons I discuss in this post.
*The story is so good that a summary doesn't give it any kind of justice. I know because I tried.

This paper draws on Ingold’s  idea of “meshworks” to reveal the entanglements that shape the exchange of knowledge between arts and humanities researchers and the creative sector in Northern Ireland. It offers a view of the “interwoven lines of growth and movement” that affect the passing of ideas between practitioners and academics arguing that collaborations are ad hoc and encourage new forms of creativity and problem-solving. We do not offer a visualisation of the places and ways in which Northern Ireland’s creative sector connects and collaborates. Rather, we identify the human and non-human assemblies that generate, facilitate, and give boundaries to knowledge exchange processes, and analyse these dynamics in the context of wireless cultures.
