In 1830, Adam Weishaupt died at the age of 82. In an effort to convince the world that Illuminism was dead and NO longer a threat, he staged an impressive death-bed “repentance” and rejoined the Catholic Church.
In 1834, Giuseppe Mazzini, the Italian revolutionary leader was appointed by the Illuminati as director of their revolutionary program around the world. He held this position until he died in 1872. At about this time, an obscure intellectual by the name of Moses Mordecai Marx Levy, ALIAS Karl Marx, joined one of the branch organizations of the Illuminati Conspiracy known as the League of the Just. In 1847, he was hired to write what became known as the Communist Manifesto. Basically, it was a policy Statement of their overall plans for the future. Marx was of Such little importance that for the first twenty years after the publication of the Manifesto his name didn’t even appear on it. He was just a pawn in the “game” being played by the REAL POWERS behind the scenes. Honest historians have long recognized that the “Communist Manifesto” was a plagiarized rehash of the writings of Adam Weishaupt and his disciple Clinton Roosevelt.
The next important personality to emerge on the American Scene as a leader in the Satanic Conspiracy was ALBERT PIKE. He was Selected by Mazzini to head their ope Rations in the United States. During the Civil War, Pike was commissioned to form an army of the Indians to fight for the South. They were So barbaric that foreign nations threatened to intervene to Stop the barbarism. Jefferson Davis was compelled to disband his auxiliary Indian troops. Pike was an avowed worshiper of Satan by name, who practiced necromancy and all forms of Sorcery. As top Illuminists, Mazzini and Pike worked in unison. Pike took control of the religious side of their operations, while Mazzini was in charge of the political. When the Grand Orient Lodges became suspect as a result of Mazzini’s revolutionary activities in Europe, Mazzini presented a MASTER PLAN to Pike who was by this time the head of The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry.

This summer, our organization launched its first ever book club. The group, led by VATESOL Secretary Laura Lewis, met in July and discussed The Book of Unknown Americans by Cristina Henriquez.
VATESOL member and ESL teacher in Virginia Beach Public Schools, Kay Fedor, wrote this reflection after participating in the book club. We are grateful that she has allowed us to share her words on our blog:
Thanks so much for arranging the summer book club as I thoroughly enjoyed reading and sharing with like-minded colleagues. It is obvious that we are all drawn to our chosen profession by our love for our students, or "kiddos" (as coined by WendySue Clausson).
The text we read just demonstrated to me that we all have the desire to belong to the human race with inclusivity. I believe that if we continue to act with kindness and listen with two ears to the story of others with empathy and without judgement, our world will heal. WendySue shared that she has witnessed the positive cultural change at her school because of her advocacy and patient kindness toward others. It took time, but it has happened. For me, as a visual learner, I see our role as the pebble that is being skipped across a pond. It begins with us, one pebble at a time, creating a ripple effect across our small group, classroom, school building, district, and beyond.
Together we can do this...
"Just as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped into water, the actions of individuals can have far-reaching effects." - Dalai Lama
Thank you to all of our members who participated in this summer's book club. VATESOL is hoping to organize another book club in the future. Stay tuned!


It's laying on a skein of yarn that I was about wind up for the Wedding Blanket. If you haven't heard, I've been working on a Queen sized blanket. It was supposed to be done for our wedding, but I'm sure you can understand how many stitches that is and how freaking big it is and then you can imagine me in my apartment this summer with no central air and you'll forgive me for not picking this up again until the weather was cold again. I'm working on it every night and I'd saw we're not quite half done. I keep having to stop and wind yarn. I do several skeins at a time, but still....
I just picked my next project and plan on casting on tonight. This is the "Simple Yet Effective Shawl" by Laura Chau. This is another Ravelry pattern. I'm using Farmhouse Yarns Cotton Blossom Yarn by Dixie:
In the reading world, I've made another yarn book purchase this week (this ends my hard copy barnes and noble Christmas gift cards - still have $100 online though, so I'm working on my library) by picking up Knitting America by Susan Strawn:
If you're interested in the history of knitting in America, then this is the book for you (and for me too)! I've been thinking a lot about the roots of this hobby and this book has been a really fun look at how it grew in early America and where it is today. There are some neat old patterns in here as well. This book and The Knitter's Book of Yarn will really keep me busy for awhile - there's just a ton of information to digest, but it sure has been fun.
Speaking of books, we finally took our Christmas tree down and that's important because it means that we could finally set up our second bookcase:
My knitting books had been in sorry shape on the floor of my bedroom. They finally have a happy home and I have access to them too. Our cookbooks got a new and accessible home too - thank goodness! I think the easy access has made the husband so happy that I might finally get him to invest in the big Billy Bookcases that I've had my eye on over at Ikea!
So for now, this is all the news that's fit to knit!


Quality: EX (*MASTER*)
Length: 5 hrs (3 DVD)
JIM CROCKETT PROMOTIONS "THE GOOD OLD DAYS" (This is a documentary on the history of JCP as told
by many of its biggest stars. Other than Ric Flair, pretty much every guy you’d want to see
is included. Interviews with Jim, David & Jackie Crockett, Dusty Rhodes, Tully Blanchard,
Masked Superstar, Baby Doll, Ronnie Garvin, Jim Cornette, JJ Dillon, Jimmy Valiant, Paul
Jones and others are included. The entire history of the promotion is included, all the way
back to Jim Sr’s days starting out. And that history is covered in detail, both good and bad.
What shines through most is how nearly everyone looks back with great fondness to their time
in JCP. The word "fun" comes up over and over and over. Lots of myths are disspelled and
explanations for things that previously made no sense are given. You’ll walk away with a new
respect for Jim Crockett too. Given the chance to blame others for the company crashing, he
repeatedly takes the blame himself and puts the failures on him since he was the leader.
Bottom line? This is a must-have. Quality is EX.)


I found this an absolutely fascinating, inspiring tale that truly opened my eyes to one of the planet’s scariest phenomena… We hear of endangered wildlife and how our modern industrial society is harming the environment. We hear of other worrying global issues. But, often neglected and hardly publicised, is the very real situation of the reduction in global language diversity. (Minor) languages, often spoken by marginalised tribespeople in remote areas of the Earth, are disappearing into the annals of history (or remaining unrecorded) as they fade into extinction. We are losing human knowledge at a great rate. This knowledge has accumulated over a great period of time and has characteristics which simply cannot be translated or encoded into larger, more powerful global languages. We think that in our modern world, we have an abundance of knowledge and have improved communication. The invention of the internet and spread of the English language as the dominant lingua franca for global business gives us a false sense of arrogance and superiority. The erosion of ancient knowledge makes us poorer as a global human society, however… Harrison elegantly argues the case for the desperate need to preserve and revitalise these strange tongues ion far-flung places. I think that one of his most valid points in the argument for preservation of language diversity, is that these languages contain critical knowledge of local environments, usually in places which are at most risk of tipping the scale in the imbalance of climate change and environmental degradation which has been demonstrated to affect us all, wherever we may live, and whatever our chosen first language might be. The book is intellectual, but accessible. It provokes serious thinking and demonstrates the careful study and hard graft put in by researchers and indeed last speakers of the most critically endangered tongues. I have close links to Wales and New Zealand which are both leading the way in the mass revitalisation of endangered languages, ie. Maori and Welsh… The mass education program in schools in both of these countries clearly demonstrates the cultural value inherent in revitalisation efforts and serves as a model to other language hotspots where the loss of culture, knowledge and language is at its most perilous. As a student of language, who aims to continue his own understanding of linguistic communication on our planet, I would highly recommend this book which I have given a maximum five star-rating.


I am so excited to share an AMAZING new release with you today! Of Curses and Kisses is the first in a new collection by Sandhya Menon (of When Dimple Met Rishi fame). If you love swoon-worthy stories and fairytale re-tellings, then this is for you!
Keep reading for details, purchase links, AND my full review!
Of Curses and Kisses
by Sandhya Menon
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Release Date: 18th February 2020
Genre: Young Adult, Fiction, Contemporary
Of Curses and Kisses by Sandhya Menon is a contemporary retelling of Beauty and the Beast set at an elite boarding school in the mountains–think Beauty and the Beast meets Gossip Girl! It’s out February 18th, 2020 and even has a *map* in the hardcover.
Featuring an Indian princess and a misanthropic British aristocrat, it’s immersive, glamorous, and full of smouldering kisses! I hope you guys will order it wherever you get your books! Read on for the official description from the back of the book…
For Princess Jaya Rao, nothing is more important than family. When the loathsome Emerson clan steps up their centuries-old feud to target Jaya’s little sister, nothing will keep Jaya from exacting her revenge. Then Jaya finds out she’ll be attending the same elite boarding school as Grey Emerson, and it feels like the opportunity of a lifetime. She knows what she must do: Make Grey fall in love with her and break his heart.
But much to Jaya’s annoyance, Grey’s brooding demeanour and lupine blue eyes have drawn her in. There’s simply no way she and her sworn enemy could find their fairy-tale ending… Right? His Lordship Grey Emerson is a misanthrope.
Thanks to an ancient curse by a Rao matriarch, Grey knows he’s doomed once he turns eighteen. Sequestered away in the mountains at St. Rosetta’s International Academy, he’s lived an isolated existence—until Jaya Rao bursts into his life. Sparkling and elegant, Jaya’s, unlike anyone Grey, has ever met. Still, he can’t shake the feeling that she’s hiding something. Something that might just have to do with the rose-shaped ruby pendant around her neck…
As the stars conspire to keep them apart, Jaya and Grey grapple with questions of love, loyalty, and whether it’s possible to write your own happy ending.
Sandhya Menon is easily one of my top contemporary authors, and the only YA contemporary author who is on my auto-buy list! When I heard she was releasing a new series, I was THRILLED, and found myself in the extremely fortunate position of being able to read an ARC! Let me tell you, this book is everything I expected and more!
I am a sucker for fairytale retellings, and OCAK does a beautiful job bringing in Beauty and the Beast elements to a modern setting! Jaya and Grey are absolutely adorable and I found myself reading furiously because I just needed to know what was going to happen next! Grey, especially, is just a total cinnamon roll and my heart broke a little for him every time we learned more of his story. I love me some angst, and this delivered!
I also loved the world Menon created with St. Rosetta’s, from the beautiful setting to the awesome cast of side characters. There are more books planned for this collection, and I cannot wait to see which character(s) get the fairytale treatment next!
Sandhya Menon is the New York Times bestselling author of When Dimple Met Rishi, Of Curses and Kisses, and many other novels that also feature lots of kissing, girl power, and swoony boys. Her books have been included in several cool places, including the Today show, Teen Vogue, NPR, BuzzFeed, and Seventeen. A full-time dog servant and part-time writer, she makes her home in the foggy mountains of Colorado.

Ya know how the Librarian in movies and on tv was always an up tight well buttoned, hair in a bun studious quiet type...But just like in the movies you knew that she took off her glasses and let her hair down from that bun....Well.... Turns out we were apparently RIGHT.. Given that a library is no having pole dancing classes!!!
A pole dancing class is being held in a library in a bid to get more people to borrow books. The idea is aimed at encouraging people to visit their local library as part of “Love your Library Day” on Saturday February 2. Pole dance instructor Nikki Clark will offer a free, 90-minute pole fitness session on the day at Mayfield Library in Dalkeith, Midlothian.
Nikki, 33, said: “I go to the library quite a lot and the library manager asked me about a month ago if I would be interested in doing a pole dancing lesson there – I thought it was quite funny
to start with and I wondered how they were going to put
it into the Love your Library Day.
“But they just want to promote the library so it’s not just for reading books – they already do small music classes for kids and arts and crafts.” Nikki, who has been pole dancing for five years, will take one pole along to the library to demonstrate moves and allow residents to have a go. And from beginners right up to the more experienced pole dancer, she said there is “a move for everyone”.
“The pole fitness session is a fun and interesting way of encouraging more people into our libraries, trying out all the services on offer and ultimately borrowing more books.”

This is the King James
dramatized audio Bible narrated by Alexander Scourby.
The original audio came from magnetic tape cassettes which I
digitized and converted to mp3 audio. I used an
audio editing program to divide all 66 books into chapters
to enable the listener to jump easily to any book and
chapter in the Bible. There are music and effects in
the background with other character narrations which make
for an interesting and often very pleasing experience.
There may be anomalies in some of the audio due to the
mechanics of the tape recordings, but otherwise, I hope this
gives inspiration to all who listen, remembering that the Holy
Bible is the ultimate authority, never putting men's
tradition equal to or above it. Amen.

Rafael E. Gray: Unraveling the World’s Wonders, One Journey at a Time

Gray has carved a niche for himself in the world of travel journalism and exploration, captivating readers with his vivid narratives, insightful tips, and unwavering dedication to uncovering the hidden gems of the world. This author biography delves deep into the life and experiences of Rafael E. Gray, shedding light on the man behind the travel stories, for the site koreadmztour.net.
**Early Life and Inspiration**
Born in the picturesque town of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, in 1970, Rafael E. Gray was destined for a life filled with cultural richness and a deep connection to the wonders of the world. Growing up in a multicultural environment, he developed an early appreciation for diversity and a hunger for knowledge that would serve as the foundation for his future career.
It was a fateful family trip to the ancient ruins of Teotihuacan that ignited the flame of wanderlust in young Rafael. As he stood in awe of the pyramids that had withstood the test of time, he realized that there was an entire world waiting to be explored. This transformative experience set the course for his future, and he embarked on a lifelong journey to discover the hidden marvels of the globe.
**Educational Pursuits and the Path to Travel Writing**
Rafael’s thirst for knowledge led him to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology and Cultural Studies at the University of Mexico City. During his academic years, he delved into the intricacies of various cultures, honing his ability to understand and appreciate the nuances that make each society unique. His studies not only enriched his perspective but also served as the wellspring of inspiration for his future travel writing endeavors.
Upon completing his undergraduate studies, Rafael furthered his education by earning a Master’s degree in Journalism from the prestigious Columbia School of Journalism in New York City. It was at Columbia where he honed his storytelling skills and learned the art of crafting captivating narratives. Armed with this newfound knowledge, he was ready to embark on his journey as a travel writer and documentarian.
**The Birth of Travel Costs**
In 1995, Rafael E. Gray launched Travel Costs, an online platform that would soon become a beacon of inspiration for travelers worldwide. The name itself was a reflection of his commitment to providing readers with valuable insights into the financial aspects of travel, helping them budget their adventures effectively. Under his guidance, Travel Costs quickly evolved from a personal blog into a comprehensive travel resource, featuring destination guides, travel tips, and unforgettable stories from his own expeditions.
One of the defining features of Travel Costs is Rafael’s genuine and relatable approach to travel writing. He believes that everyone deserves to explore the world, regardless of their budget or circumstances. His articles strike a perfect balance between aspiration and attainability, offering practical advice while painting vivid pictures of exotic destinations.
**Expeditions and Adventures**
Over the years, Rafael E. Gray’s adventures have taken him to every corner of the globe. From the serene temples of Kyoto to the bustling markets of Marrakech, he has immersed himself in countless cultures, capturing the essence of each place through his words and photographs. His dedication to authentic experiences often leads him off the beaten path, uncovering hidden treasures that remain hidden from most tourists.
One of his most memorable expeditions was a solo trek through the Amazon rainforest, where he lived among indigenous tribes, learning their customs and gaining a deep appreciation for the importance of preserving our planet’s most fragile ecosystems. This expedition resulted in a captivating documentary that continues to inspire environmentalists and adventure seekers alike.
**The Impact of Rafael’s Work**
Rafael E. Gray’s contributions to the world of travel writing extend beyond his words on a page. His commitment to responsible and sustainable travel has had a profound impact on the industry. He advocates for eco-friendly practices, supports local communities, and encourages travelers to leave a positive mark on the places they visit.

His dedication to fostering cultural understanding and promoting inclusivity in travel has earned him accolades from various organizations. He has been a keynote speaker at international travel conferences and has received awards for his efforts to bridge cultural gaps through his work.
**Life Beyond Travel Writing**
While Rafael E. Gray is primarily known for his contributions to the world of travel, his interests and talents extend far beyond. He is an accomplished photographer, capturing the beauty of the world in breathtaking images that accompany his articles. His work has been featured in prestigious publications and galleries around the world.
In addition to his writing and photography, Rafael is an advocate for social justice and human rights. He has volunteered with organizations that focus on empowering marginalized communities and has used his platform to shed light on pressing global issues.
**The Future of Travel Costs and Rafael’s Legacy**
As Rafael E. Gray continues to explore the world and share his experiences, the future of Travel Costs remains bright. He plans to expand the platform to include more multimedia content, including videos and virtual reality experiences, to transport readers directly to the destinations he explores. He also envisions collaborations with like-minded travelers and organizations to further promote responsible and sustainable travel practices.
Rafael’s legacy is not just in the words he writes or the images he captures but in the hearts and minds of those he inspires to embark on their own journeys of discovery. His unwavering dedication to unraveling the world’s wonders, one journey at a time, serves as an enduring source of inspiration for wanderers of all ages and backgrounds.
Rafael E. Gray, the visionary behind Travel Costs, is a traveler, writer, photographer, and advocate who has dedicated his life to exploring the world and sharing its beauty with others.

Through his writing, photography, and advocacy, he has made a significant impact on the world of travel and continues to inspire others to embark on their own adventures. Rafael E. Gray’s legacy is not just a body of work; it’s a testament to the transformative power of travel and the enduring quest for knowledge and connection that drives us all.

The finding and discussion section of your dissertation can be the most fulfilling part of the work. It is where you can express your thoughts instead of others' opinion on the topic. Definitely, you may have to reference your sources at some point; however, you will forever be proud of contributing to the area.
Writing of your findings and discussion can take several forms. Mostly, readers expect these three components, Description-Analysis-Synthesis, in these chapters. When working on a shorter dissertation, it is best to combine them chapters in one section. However, you may have to separate them in longer works. Let’s now go through some critical aspects of writing the findings and discussion section of your dissertation.
Before you decide how to write thesis outline or findings section, make sure you’ve completed the analysis. Also, be sure to have organized all your findings manually or with the help of software. The above needs to be done to prevent messing up your work with random and inconsistent information.
Most students also encounter the dilemma of which information or data to use in their findings. During the research process, colossal data is collected, and obviously, not all can be used in the final work. Therefore, you need to choose which is essential or required by the reader.
This can be easier if you prepare an outline, which will give you the structure to follow. Your outline must then follow two key points
- Answer the research questions
- Adding exciting findings during the research
How to introduce your findings
Your findings can take about 40 percent of your dissertation. As such, you need to be organized with a concise introduction. Your introduction should include these four components,
- Setting the tone for readers
- Describe the approach towards your write-up
- Contextualize your research
- Make the appendix easily accessible
Your findings chapter should be straight to the point to enable readers to have a clear idea about what it is about and what to expect. In doing this, you should know how to
- Organize and present your data
- Present your qualitative data
- Introduce your quantitative data
Analysis and synthesis
The discussion section/chapter of your dissertation is one of the most important aspects of your work. This section tells the reader how you’ve answered the research questions and the extensiveness of your research.
How you structure your discussion chapter must relate to how the findings chapter was done and what you intend to do. You can also choose to structure it per the research questions. The discussion section interprets whatever was highlighted in your findings. Hence, the introduction of it should throw light on the contents to be covered in the subsections.
In concluding your discussion, summarises all the key points of your work, so that even a quick glance can afford the reader what the work is about.
By now, you have acquired more knowledge on how to go about your dissertation findings and discussion chapters. Following the above steps and others in subsequent write-ups would make your work enjoyable and stress-free.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the English author Virginia Woolf published Orlando: a biography, a novel in which the protagonist suddenly changes sex in her sleep. Almost a century later, the philosopher, writer and trans activist Paul B. Preciado wrote a letter to the author, in the form of a film, to tell her that her fiction has indeed become reality. Under the lens of the - now - filmmaker, 26 trans and non- binary people, aged from 8 to 70, take turns to embody Virginia Woolf’s “Orlando” in a playful and daring production. A contemporary re-reading in which literary and intimate narratives mingle, affirming once again that the body is definitively political.

- Safe shelving and storage
- Making your reading space your own
- Special considerations for book collectors
- Basic book care
We all know a book lover, right? Studies show that 28% of Americans are regular readers, finishing six or more books per year.
Those who love to read are often challenged with storage and care for an extensive home library. From cases and shelves to an entire home library, we spend a surprising amount of resources making our books feel at home.
What avid readers may not know is that proper storage and care for books have a surprisingly big impact on the health of your home, too. This is most important if you have a huge book stash or collect antique books. With proper care and proactive solutions, your books and home can live in harmony.
Safe shelving and storage
The first obstacle most avid readers face is finding the right storage solution for their collection. While your first instinct may be to do a quick shelf install, it’s important to plan out your project. Books are considerably heavy, so be sure that you count your collection to estimate how much weight your storage solution will need to accommodate. Pick the right storage solution for the weight and size of your books:
Open-end to open-end shelves hold the least weight. A standard 3-foot shelf can hold about 135 pounds. Wall-to-open-end shelves hold more, roughly 150 pounds for a standard shelf. Lastly, wall-to-wall shelves hold the most weight, roughly 180 pounds for a standard shelf.
If your collection is larger than a single-shelf installation requires, free-standing bookcases can be a good option. Be sure that you anchor bookcases to the wall. Not only is this important for preventing personal injury, but it can also help avoid damage to your walls and floors in the event of an earthquake.
For those with hundreds or thousands of books, you’re likely considering a home library setup. Built-in bookshelves provide additional design elements to your room, which can increase the home’s resale value. Additionally, they tend to be very sturdy and hold the most weight.
Why does weight matter?
Planning your shelving solution around the weight of your book collection can save you time, money, and a headache. Overloading shelves with too much weight can rip the shelf off, damaging the wall or the floor it comes in contact with.
We recommend avoiding easy-mount floating shelves, even though they can be very pretty. These hold the least weight and are at the highest risk of falling and causing damage.
Making your reading space your own
Now that you know how to protect your books and keep them in perfect condition, it’s time to relax and enjoy your brand-new reading nook or home library.
A guest bedroom or spare room makes an excellent place for a nice home library. If you already have a separate home office, add a nice pair of bookshelves to store and organize your favorite books. You can also set up a nice dining or living room corner and install some built-in shelving. Make your new home library as comfortable as possible by adding a nice chair, a sturdy table, and a floor lamp, so it’s easy to see when you’re reading at night.
Consider combining two spaces together or designing a separate space for reading alone in peace and quiet. If you combine two areas of your home, consider adding a cozy reading nook to a storage room, playroom, or home office/study room. If you prefer to read in a quiet and solitary space, then it might not be ideal to set up your home library next to your child’s playroom. Look for other areas where you can enjoy books in silence, such as a corner of your bedroom or living room, an area underneath the stairs, or even outside on your back porch under a shady cover.
When you’re thinking about the design of your new library, there are a few important things to keep in mind.
- Will this space be for you alone, the whole family, or for your children? Design the color scheme, décor, and furniture based on the people who will use this room the most.
- Choose furniture and decorative items based on your personal style. For example, add a mid-century modern-inspired sofa and shelving if you love modern design. If you prefer a more traditional space, bring in an oversized leather sofa and some classic table lamps.
- Go online and talk to other book lovers for some inspiration. You can also gather great ideas from websites like Pinterest or a home interior design magazine. Create a mood board with your favorite ideas and use it to inspire you as you decorate and design your reading nook.
Special considerations for book collectors
Mold and mildew
Book collectors know all too well that mold and mildew can take down your entire personal library. Not only is proper care and mold prevention vital for your home library, it’s also critical for preventing a bigger and more expensive problem at home.
Once introduced into your home, mold and mildew can infest walls and floors and is incredibly difficult to get rid of. It can even cause your home to fail a home inspection and make it difficult or impossible to sell in a tight market. Even worse, an infestation can also cause health problems, so it’s most important to prevent mold before it starts.
Here are a few ideas to prevent a mold infestation
- Ensure proper ventilation
- Prevent dampness with a dehumidifier or air purifier
- Address moisture problems as soon as they happen, and be sure books and belongings are fully dry before you put them back
- If you’re moving books into a new home, be sure to get it inspected for mold ahead of time
- Store your books in an area with proper ventilation, so the air doesn’t become stale or stagnant. Rooms without good ventilation could cause humidity to build up over time.
- Keep the temperature in your book room cool at all times. The ideal room temperature to store books is approximately 68 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Storing your books in a temperature-controlled room where you can adjust the thermostat is ideal. Use a moisture meter to check the humidity levels, which should be at approximately 35 to 50% anywhere that books are kept.
Learn the signs of book mold and mildew
Keep an eye out for the telltale signs of mold and mildew in your home library. If you detect any of them, consider quarantining that book and its neighbors. This can prevent a broader infestation that can transfer to your bookshelves and walls.
Signs of mold and mildew
- Fuzzy growth in any color
- Stringy white filament
- Evidence of water damage
- Powdery or flaky layers
Even if you practice proper book storage and handling, pests can sometimes pose a problem and threaten the integrity of your books. A professional home inspector can provide you with regular pest checks and make suggestions for keeping pests at bay. Follow these tips to help keep pests from bothering your beloved home library.
- Keep food away from your books, since cockroaches and other insects like to linger around and eat crumbs. Eating or drinking near your books and spilling something will lure insects to the area, and they may decide to take up residence inside your books.
- Store your books properly and keep them out of cardboard boxes. Insects love to make nests in cardboard, so it’s best to use plastic boxes instead. Choose durable plastic storage boxes with a tightly-sealing lid to keep bugs and moisture out.
- Never leave your books on the floor, and always return them to their shelves when you’re done reading them. Not only will this keep your books from getting damaged, but it’ll also keep them away from bugs that might be crawling around on the floor.
- Keep an eye on your books and inspect them regularly for any signs of pest activity. Some signs of pests in your books may include:
- Tiny holes in the pages or covers of your books may indicate that bugs are eating them
- Microscopic “dots” or black marks could be an indication of insect feces
- Pieces of shed skin, wings, or shells inside of your books are a clear sign that pests are infiltrating your library
Basic book care
There are some basic methods of book care that every bibliophile should follow. These simple steps will ensure that your books last longer and remain in excellent condition long into the future.
- Keep your books out of direct sunlight. Exposure to UV rays from the sun can cause your book covers to fade and become discolored over time.
- Dust your books regularly to keep them in great shape. Too much dust can scratch the cover and spine of your books, and it also entices pests to infiltrate the pages.
- Always use the correct placement and storage of your books by placing them upright on shelves or laying them flat and stacking them on top of one another. Keep books of similar size next to each other, so they’re properly supported. Don’t allow your books to lean to one side.
- To preserve your books for longer, protect them with plastic covers. Make sure the covers are specifically designed for books, so they don’t cause unexpected damage to the cover.
- When removing your books from the shelf, grip both sides of the spine at the middle section rather than pulling hard at the top of the spine.
- Create a designated space just for your books by designing a separate library, or use a high-quality, sturdy bookshelf to store them all together. Store the books in a cool area with dry air and relative humidity of about 35%. Avoid storing books in the attic or basement, where there’s a higher risk of leaks and fluctuations in humidity.
- Always wash and dry your hands thoroughly before handling a book to prevent transferring dirt and oils onto the cover, spine, or pages. Avoid eating or drinking when you’re reading to prevent accidental spills, which could ruin your books.
- Never use paper clips or create “dog ears” to mark a page. Avoid using rubber bands, tape, or glue on your books. Instead, mark pages with an acid-free bookmark designed especially for books to preserve the pages and keep them in optimum condition.
Reading is one of the best ways to expand your mind and your horizons. With these tips, you can design a fantastic reading nook or home library while protecting your beloved books from damage. Preventing pests and mold will ensure that your books stay in terrific condition for years to come. Get creative, have some fun, and enjoy reading as much as you can whenever you have some free time at home.


A number of official books, novels, and gamebooks have been released based on the series as well. The earliest was Moblin's Magic Spear, published in 1989 by Western Publishing under their Golden Books Family Entertainment division and written by Jack C. Harris. It took place sometime during the first game. Two gamebooks were published as part of the Nintendo Adventure Books series by Archway, both of which were written by Matt Wayne. The first was The Crystal Trap (which focuses more on Zelda) and the second was The Shadow Prince. Both were released in 1992. A novel based on Ocarina of Time was released in 1999, written by Jason R. Rich and published by Sybex Inc. under their Pathways to Adventure series. Another two gamebooks were released as part of the You Decide on the Adventure series published by Scholastic. The first book was based on Oracle of Seasons and was released in 2001. The second, based on Oracle of Ages, was released in 2002. Both were written by Craig Wessel. In 2006, Scholastic released a novel as part of their Nintendo Heroes series, Link and the Portal of Doom. It was written by Tracey West and was set shortly after the events of Ocarina of Time.
The Mega Man series has always been known for its difficulty, but as someone who has mixed feelings on difficult games, one of the things I always loved about the series is most of the games (except a few) were fair when it came to being difficult. This meant either more checkpoints as the series evolved, or short levels like the older titles. This gave the player the opportunity to learn the levels without punishing them and the bosses waiting at the end were usually pretty quick and easy to beat provided you had the right weapon to exploit their weakness.
12% (sourspot) Fires Mega Man's fist downwards. The start of the move sends opponents flying horizontally (sweetspot). If hit near the move's end, the move is a meteor smash, which will send any opponent in the air downwards (sourspot), one of the very few projectiles in the game with this trait. Although safer than most other meteor smashes, this move requires a set distance between you and your opponent in order to meteor smash and has long startup, making the move situational and outclassed by his other edgeguarding options.
Zelda is kidnapped by Ganon, who imprisons her in his lair on Death Mountain. Before she was kidnapped, she shattered the Triforce of Wisdom into eight shards and scattered them throughout Hyrule to hide them from Ganon and prevent him from gaining its power. She then sent her nursemaid Impa in search of a hero that could reassemble the Triforce of Wisdom, be powerful enough to defeat Ganon, and rescue her. Zelda is not actually seen in this game until after Ganon is defeated.
Outside of his armor, Rock appears as a ten-year-old boy with spiky hair, the color of which varies between games from black to brown. His armor, however, resembles that of most other Robot Masters in that it's a skintight bodysuit with large rounded coverings on the lower arms and legs, and typical 'superhero briefs'. Mega Man's primary color is light blue with a dark blue 'trim' (his arms, legs, helmet and 'briefs'). His helmet has a raised light blue square in the forehead and a light blue ridge running straight back from the square, resembling an exclamation mark. His helmet also features round light blue sections with red circles in the center over his ears. He also has red circles in his Mega Buster and below his feet.
The series has received criticism for many other aspects. Many have found the menu-based combat system and its use of random encounters to be a turnoff, or an outdated annoyance, with IGN stating the the use of random encounters "need[ed] to change". The series' minigames have been divisive and often come under fire as weaker aspects (although minigames have received praise in other regard). Finally, many direct sequels in the series have been poorly received and believed to be worse than the original titles.
When Zelda's power failed to awaken on Mount Lanayru, Urbosa told Zelda not to give up hope as she did all she could and noted Mount Lanayru wasn't her last shot as anything could spark her powers to awaken. When Ganon appeared Urbosa initially wanted to take Zelda to safety but Zelda refused wanting to fight alongside her comrades even without her powers which Urbosa did not object to, understanding and respecting Zelda's desire to stand alongside them against Ganon along with her courage and sense of duty. Ultimately Urbosa was correct about Zelda's powers as the spark she spoke of occurred when Zelda selflessly tried to shield the exhausted Link from an attacking Guardian saving Zelda and Link. Even In death, Urbosa continued to support Link and Zelda as a spirit once freed from Thunderblight Ganon's imprisonment.
Mega Man is enjoying his day until Roll falls ill with Roboenza. At first, he believes that Wily is behind the epidemic, but Wily claims that he had found the cure, only to have it stolen by eight out-of-control Robot Masters. After defeating them all, Mega Man learns that Dr. Wily actually was behind the Roboenza epidemic all along. He succumbs to Roboenza himself, but Roll gives him her saved medicine to give him the strength to defeat Wily.
Princess Zelda is one of the Seven Maidens descended from the sages who sealed Ganon away during the Imprisoning War. At the beginning of the game, she is imprisoned in the dungeon of Hyrule Castle by Agahnim, who plans on sacrificing her along with the other six maidens so as to break the seal between the Light and Dark World. This would free Agahnim's alter ego, Ganon, from the Dark World and allow him to wreak havoc on Hyrule. Zelda telepathically calls for help, contacting both Link's Uncle and Link in their house.
Mega Man X was ranked number 58 in Nintendo Power's "100 Best Nintendo Games of All Time" in its 100th issue in September 1997, number 103 in the publication's "Top 200 Games" list for its 200th issue in February 2006, and the 11th best SNES game of all time in its August 2008 issue. Both GamesRadar and ScrewAttack listed Mega Man X as the eighth best game in the SNES library. GamePro similarly listed it as the eighth greatest 16-bit video game. Game Informer considered it the 120th best game of all time in its own 200th issue in December 2009. IGN named it the twelfth-best on its own top 100 SNES games list in 2011.
In several games, Zelda has a nursemaid named Impa, a faithful servant who is heavily hinted to be largely responsible for raising her and cultivating her abilities. In The Legend of Zelda, Impa is her most trusted servant, the one whom she entrusts with the task of finding a hero to defeat Ganon. In The Adventure of Link, it is Impa who brings Link to the North Castle and recounts the story of the ancient curse on the sleeping Zelda.
Like the new weapons that Mega Man can steal from them, the new Robot Masters in Mega Man 11 are inventive and inspired. There are some familiar archetypes, like the explosive Blast Man, icy Tundra Man, electrified Fuse Man and fiery Torch Man, but most have characteristics that help differentiate them from similar bosses in previous games. Torch Man, for example, is a camping safety robot, and his outdoorsy, barbecue-inspired level helps him stand out from past fire-based Robot Masters. Other standouts include Bounce Man, whose stage is full of trampolines and bouncy balls, where Mega Man is forced to platform his way through the stage boinging to and fro; and Blast Man, whose stage is wired with explosives, many of which have to be triggered by launching the level’s combustible enemies into them in order to progress.
Despite the general ineffectiveness in Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess, the Hyrulean Soldiers are depicted as willing to serve and defend their Princess, even in the face of death. In fact, one soldier is implied to have died from wounds he received during Ganondorf's attack on Hyrule Castle, though he managed to instruct the young Hero of Time into heading towards the Temple of Time before succumbing to his wounds. In Twilight Princess, the Hyrulean Soldiers are depicted as valiantly defending the Hyrule Castle throne room and Zelda from the Shadow Beasts lead by Zant, though they prove to be no match for the Shadow Beasts. It is also shown that despite their role and willingness to die defending, Zelda generally cares for their well-being as she does for the rest of her people. This is demonstrated by her decision to surrender Hyrule to Zant rather than see them needlessly slaughtered by Zant's minions.
In Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages, Zelda is revealed to be the hope of the people. She is the one who sends Impa to Labrynna and Holodrum to find Nayru, the Oracle of Ages, and Din, the Oracle of Seasons, and bring them to Hyrule for safety. Zelda herself appears if the two games are linked. When players have defeated both General Onox and Veran in the linked game, Twinrova will kidnap Zelda in order to sacrifice her to resurrect Ganon. Link dashes to her rescue and Twinrova fails to sacrifice Zelda, making them to sacrifice themselves in order to resurrect Ganon. Due to the fact that they could not sacrifice Zelda as planned, the Ganon they resurrect is mindless and raging and is defeated by Link. In these games, Zelda has a sprite similar to that of Marin, the girl Link mistakes for Zelda when he wakes up at the beginning of Link's Awakening.


This article analyzes cases of police reform aimed at eliminating corruption. It focuses on two cases sharing similar problems of corruption in the past but with different outcomes after undertaking police reform: Georgia and Armenia. It seeks to understand why police reform is more successful in Georgia than in Armenia and uses legal documents, external reports, and secondary literature in this cause. It concludes that the primary factor influencing the outcome is a change in the political elite. Other factors contributing to the outcome of the police reforms were the involvement of foreign actors, the content of the reform, and the magnitude of the corruption.

Books are a huge part of my life and our family. I have always loved reading and some of my favourite memories are of lazy summer days with a good book in hand. I have turned my husband into an avid reader and I have a small addiction to children’s books and building my kids library (just ask Scholastic). I absolutely adore seeing the love of books in both Jack and Lily.
For my first Mother’s Day my husband gave me the book I Love You Through and Through by Bernadette Rossetti-Shustak and illustrated by Caroline Jayne Church. It quickly became a favourite.
Lily has always been very interactive with this book, enjoying the pictures and giggling for much of the story. She often asks for it at bedtime but she becomes so animated that I tend to save it for daytime reading. However, tonight she coupled the please sign with her very best pouty eyes and I couldn’t resist. Her excitement over getting to read one of her favourite stories only intensified as my enthusiasm and congratulatory tweeks and cheers became more exaggerated with every page.
The signs Lily usually uses while reading this story are bath, happy, sad and cry. Tonight, she added the sign for ‘silly’ and imitated giggles, crying, talking and running. With imitation being one of Lily’s biggest roadblocks to the spoken word it was overwhelming to watch. And she didn’t stop there. My sweet girl coupled the sign and word for ‘happy’, ‘mad’ and her grand finale was saying (almost perfectly) ‘bubble’.
With her very recent verbal explosion, she now has about 34 words and 57 signs. Granted, many of her “words” are just attempts and if she wasn’t coupling it with the sign we would probably pass it off as babble, however, she’s trying and I couldn’t ask for any more than that.
Laying with Lily tonight, looking at her sweet little cherubic face with her hand wrapped around my finger, I was reminded that every child is true perfection. Sure, we warp them over the years but children radiate all that is good and beautiful.

Audiobooks are a great option for those who can understand content read to them, but for whom the reading process itself is tortuous! For
those readers, having a digital book allows them to keep up with content as they continue to work on their reading skills. Also...it can just be fun!
So, where can you get them?
- Your public library likely offers a wide array
of digital books read by professional voice artists that can be lent for two or three weeks. These are of very high quality and often fun to listen to. However, often you need the resource longer
when used for school. They also have limited copies so a given title may not be available when you need it.
- Learning Ally is a nonprofit organization that offers audio books for struggling
readers for a yearly subscription. The majority of these books are read by volunteers, but they have a collection of text books as well as fiction. Their library is in the tens of thousands!

Dugan's 'Fate & Flux' was my first real steam punk read and I think I'm hooked on the sub-genre. It was fast-paced but had strong characterization and world-building, with enough explanation of the tech for a steam punk newbie to understand. I appreciate that the details didn't bog down the story, too. Definitely recommend!
"Storm Forged" is a superhero coming to age story with a truly innovative structure for both powers and politics.

HAVE_CURL - for the libcurl library (recommended) - contains routines for http client HAVE_OPENSSL - for the openssl library (recommended) - contains routines for encryption HAVE_BZIP2 - for the bzip2 library (optional) - contains routines for compression
1.2 In the 'src' subdirectory execute one of the following commands:
make slv # to compile only the slave part of qadpz make mast # to compile only the master part of qadpz make cli # to compile only the client part of qadpz make main # to compile all parts (slave, master, client)
1.3 The resulting executables and libraries will be located in the 'bin' subdirectory:
(slave) qadpz_slave - slave executable file libslv-app.so - helper slave library for starting executable or script files as tasks on the slave (the slave by itself can start only shared libraries as tasks) (master) qadpz_master - master executable file qadpz_admin - utility for administration of users, security keys and slave upgrades on the master (client) qadpz_run - client executable file (used for starting and controlling jobs described in xml project files) libcli_serv.a - library file for the client API (service) (if you wish to write your own client program)
1.4 You can compile also the samples by executing the following command (in the same 'src' subdirectory):
1.5 After compiling the samples, you will get the following files in the 'bin' subdirectory:
(dumb) libslv-dumb.so - slave binary for the task (as a shared library) (simple) simple - slave binary for the task (as an executable)
1.6 Next step is to configure each part of the system:
(master) master.cfg - configuration file for the master users.txt - users file for the master (with username/password) privkey - file containing the private key of the master (only the master process should have access to it!) (slave) slave.cfg - configuration file for the slave (client) client.cfg - configuration file for the client pubkey - file containing the public key of the master (use qadpz_admin on the master to extract it from the master's private key)
* use qadpz_admin to generate/configure the users and key files on the master. * you will not need the private and public keys if you don't enable openssl when compiling (i.e. HAVE_OPENSSL=0 in src/Makefile.base); also users will not need any passwords in this case (passwords will be blank, but you still need to define the users). * if you change the private key on the master, you will need to regenerate and distribute again the public key to each of the clients; if the master is running, you will need to restart in order to use the new keys. * if you add/change a user while the master is running, you don't need to restart it: the master will automatically read the new user list after a while (as configured in the master's config file). * for non-Linux unix systems you will need a random seed file on both the master and client.
1.7 Install the binary and config files on each of the computers:
(slave) qadpz_slave + slave.cfg (master) qadpz_master + qadpz_admin + master.cfg + users.txt + privkey (client) qadpz_run + client.cfg + pubkey
1.8 Start the master and the slaves on each computer.
* you will need some disk space on the slave for downloading and storing binaries and data files ("tmp_dir" parameter in slave's config file). * you can disable log generation by commenting out the "dbug_file" parameter in each config file.
1.9 You will also need a web server where you can store (upload/download) binary and data files for each job/task. You can use the download.cgi and upload.cgi as CGI scripts for this (they are written in Perl, so you will need support for Perl on the web server).
1.10 You can try some of the examples to see how the system works by using the generic 'qadpz_run' client and using the xml sample project files from the 'bin' directory.

In My Neighborhood . . .
Little front yard libraries, housed in bird-house-like-structures, have been popping up all around St. Paul. As a writer, avid reader and lover of books, I am hugely impressed by this brilliant grass-roots movement. Started by two men in Wisconsin, the idea is to share your extra books with the people in your neighborhood by leaving them in weather-protected "library" boxes. There are actually two Little Library boxes down the street from here. The sign at one says: "Take a book or leave a book or both." I noticed copies of Old Yeller and Fast Food Nation when I stopped to snap a picture. I would love to have one in my front yard! I have so many books and it would be a great way to recycle them.


Whats now? for Beth Ann Hopkins...
A SMITH STREET STAGE
Presentation at THE GURAL THEATER, A.R.T. - September 2019
Currently in Workshop
Adapted & Directed by Beth Ann Hopkins
A young girl has run away to her Grandmother's attic, a space for forgotten objects covered with drop cloths and dusty time. When searching through a stack of old books, she opens one up to reveal that the words literally come alive off the pages as characters and creatures emerge around her and begin to tell her the story of King Lear. A classic story, retold through the eyes of a child. The innocence of the child's viewpoint juxtaposes the harsh realities of the play's events, creating a coming of age tale in which life's cruelties and acts of heroism are revealed.
