KOLKATA: Thousands of priceless books, newspapers and periodicals had to be hastily evacuated from the language division of Bhasa Bhavan at the National Library on Tuesday morning after the room was inundated by water leaking from the air-conditioning plant and rainwater pouring in through broken window panes.
Though the extent of damage is yet to be ascertained, it raises uncomfortable questions about how such waterlogging happened in the state-ofthe-art building constructed a decade ago and why it was detected so late. The original building is over 200 years old.
Libraries are still in vogue even in this era of tabs and Kindles. It still is the favourite destination for bookworms. The increasing memberships in major libraries show that the libraries are here to stay.
The reading habit of the members have witnessed significant change over the years and libraries too have updated themselves to meet their requirements. In most of the libraries in the suburbs and rural areas, Malayalam pulp fiction used to top the list among the books which were borrowed. “But now, even in the suburbs, new-gen writers and all time classics from all over the world and books translated to Malaylam by writers of other Indian languages are borrowed by many,” says Syam Dinakar, Thrikkakkara.
Among Malayalam writers, novels by M T Vasudevan Nair, Madhavikkutty, O V Vijayan, M Mukundan, Thakazhy, Lalithambika Antharjanam, S K Pottakkad, VKN and Basheer still remain the most preferred choice. “But we cannot say that the demand for Malayalam pulp fiction has come down. Still many prefer these books,” he added.
From Muttathu Varkey to Mezhuveli Babuji, Malayalam pulp fiction wing is still strong. Some of the best read pulp fiction novels by Mathew Mattam, Joycee, Sudhakar Mangalodhayam, Batten Bose, Kottayam Pushpanath and Ettumanoor Sivakumar, K V Anil and Kamala Govind are still hot among the readers

Dragons are the characters, so to say, that make most fantasy books good. Basically, you cannot have an amazing fantasy book in your hands if it does not have at least one dragon in it – of course, there are some exceptions.
The first dragon in literature appeared in Argonautica, by Apollonius of Rhodes. There was a dragon guarding the golden fleece and another one whose teeth could be sown like seed in order to make an army grow.
Even though some sources suggest that the Book of Job has literature’s first dragon, that fact is still under discussion, so to say, given the fact that the so-called dragon is actually a leviathan, which is a sea monster.
Now that we know where we can find the first dragon, let’s take a look at some of the best books which have the best dragons in them!
- Dragonsbane, by Barbara Hambly
As its name suggests, Dragonsbane has a dragon in it! The book tells the story of a young prince that has to join forces with an aged warrior and an almost-witch in order to defeat the dragon that stalks his kingdom.
Given that Barbara Hambly is one of New York Times’ bestselling author, we can surely expect a breathtaking story of a fire-breathing dragon and a team of three heroes trying to take it down.
- The Hero and the Crown, by Robin McKinley
Aerin, despite being the daughter of a king, is also the daughter of a rumored witch. Therefore, she is an outcast in the king’s court, so to say.
What’s special about her is that she is in the possession of a dragon-fire-proof ointment. As fates collide, there happens to be a marauding dragon through the kingdom and, since our heroine has nothing better to do, she takes her father’s old warhorse and rides toward a battle with what we’ll find out to be the last of the great dragons.
- His Majesty’s Dragon, by Naomi Novik
If you thought that history is boring, then Naomi Novik has the perfect ingredient to change that exact thing – obviously, it’s dragons.
The story takes place during the Napoleonic Wars, when captain Will Laurence, instead of fighting for victory and a better tomorrow, is faced with a dragon coming to life from an unhatched egg.
In no time, he befriends the dragon and joins the world of the Aerial Corps – also known as dragon riders. Naturally, Captain Laurence and his dragon, named Temeraire, must prepare for the battle with France’s dragon riders as they try to land on British soil.
A great mixture of history and fantasy which contains one of the best elements out there – dragons, as well as dragon riders.
- Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett
Besides an amazing display of fantasy, keep in mind that Terry Pratchett is also one of the masters of humor in literature.
Therefore, it’s no wonder that in Guards! Guards! we’ll enter a world where noble dragons, believed to be extinct, come back to life – well, actually just one of them. As all things must follow their natural path, this noble dragon is soon crowned King of the land.
The local order now has to be restored by the City Watch – this means a lot of magic as well as stopping a marauding dragon.
The Bottom Line
Naturally, the list could go on and on – we didn’t even mention Smaug or the dragons in A Song of Ice and Fire, assuming that you are quite familiar with those already.
Nevertheless, there are plenty of good books with dragons in them – above was our list of some of the best out there, however. Even if you manage to read all of these in record time, you will still have what to choose from afterward.

Climb into the Civil War submarine H.L. Hunley on the fateful night it became the first sub to destroy an enemy vessel; the Union warship Housatonic. Its crew of eight perished in the process and the submarine vanished mysteriously. Recovered in 2000, the shipwrecked Hunley sparked renewed interest in its innovative design and tragic fate. Despite its pioneering role in naval warfare, questions linger about its final moments. The Hunley stands as a testament to the ingenuity and sacrifices of those who dared to push the boundaries of technology during the tumultuous era of the American Civil War.


Best Torrent Site for Books
These are the best torrent sites for books whether for ebooks, textbooks, magazines, novels, audiobooks or other kinds of books.
Whether you’re a broke college student in need of textbook torrents or just looking for a little reading material, an ebook torrent is a solid option.
But when your favorite tracker doesn’t have the title you’re looking for, you might be left wondering “What’s the best torrent site for books?”
Well, don’t worry, because we’ve done the research for you. Keep reading for our most recommended ebook torrent sites.
Note: Not all of these are literally torrent sites. Some offer direct downloads.

A Reminder Warning to eBook Torrent Downloaders
All the risks & dangers about downloading torrents apply doubly for ebook torrents. It is difficult to know which torrents are legit & safe and which might be risky to download.
For this reason, we highly recommend you use a VPN service when downloading ebook or textbook torrents. A VPN will hide your IP address and encrypt your Internet connection so that your downloads remain 100% private. This is important in case you accidentally download something that could otherwise come back to haunt you.

Top eBook Torrent Sites
Without further ado, here are the best torrent sites for books.
Formerly known as Bookkzz.org, this site advertises itself as “the world’s largest ebook library”. Is it true? Well, they do have a massive database, which includes books new and old in a variety of format, from mobi to PDF.
libgen.io (Library Genesis)
Many would argue that Library Genesis should be first on the list – and we can’t really disagree with them. It’s packed with millions of books, from the most popular to the most obscure, from romance novels to textbooks, with plenty of formats to choose from. The main site is down, but you can use the mirror/proxy http://gen.lib.rus.ec/
gutenberg.org (Project Gutenberg)
This is not a torrent site, but we thought it best to include it anyway. Project Gutenberg provides a massive collection of over 50,000+ public domain ebooks, all of them in multiple formats. “Public domain” books are titles that are old enough that their copyright (at least in the US) has expired, giving readers free access to everyone from Plato to Dostoyevsky.
audiobookbay.pl (AudioBook Bay “ABB”)
These days, audiobooks are almost as popular as actual books, and that means audiobook torrents are pretty popular too.
And though you can find audiobooks on general torrent sites like the (famous) one below, the AudioBook Bay is by far the best torrent site for audiobooks.
thepiratebay.org (The Pirate Bay)
The Pirate Bay is the biggest – and one of the oldest – torrent sites around. So, it’s no surprise that it’s also one of the best torrent sites for books, even though that format isn’t its main focus.
Note: Access to TPB is blocked in tons of countries. If you’re in a country that does, find out how to unblock TPB.
textbooknova.com (Textbook Nova)
Textbook Nova is a great resource for, you guessed it, textbooks.
feedurbrain.com (Feed Ur Brain) - Adios
FeedURBrain does require a membership to access, but it’s free – and most importantly,
it’s it was a great resource for textbook torrents and other great educational material.
While Ebookee isn’t our favorite entry on this list, it still deserves a mention as one of the top torrent sites for books.
The forums over at mobilism can be a solid resource for ebook torrents and downloads.
Can’t Access One of the Above Sites?
Keep in mind that many of the above sites have gone through several domains – and will probably continue to do so. If one of the URLs above is down, there’s probably a mirror up somewhere.
There you have it. Torrent sites for all of your book needs ranging from novels, textbooks, magazines and even audio books to almost any other kind of ebook you can think of.
Just remember to use a good VPN service. Doing so will keep your activities hidden and private whenever you access torrent book sites and download ebook torrents to your computer, tablet, smart phone or other devices.


When I was on Tarceva, in the wee hour of one morning, I had an epiphany. As I was traipsing in the dark to the bathroom to take my miracle pill, the glow of the power light of my cell phone on the vanity gripped my attention. I stared at it, and lo and behold, the color of the light changed mysteriously from red to green. My heart pounded.
“Honey,” I whispered in a voice a tad loud for one o’clock in the morning.
“What?!” My startled husband asked. He was now sitting on the edge of the bed, his head buried in his hands.
I described to him the phenomenon that I had just witnessed.
“Oh for crying out loud. You’re an engineer. You know it means the phone’s battery is now completely charged.”
“Yes,” I admitted sheepishly. “But I have been waiting for a signal from the cosmos to proceed with my long-overdue bestseller.”
“So be it.” He flung himself on the bed and covered his head with a pillow.
So be it. Those sweet supportive words from the lips of my loving caregiver gave me the final push to get on with my writing project. But first I had to ensure there are no existing books on cancer and humor. I went to the neighborhood library and researched, and sure enough, I found a book titled “Cancer on $5 a Day* * chemo not included.” Written by comedian Robert Schimmel with Alan Eisenstock, it is about how humor got the comedian through his battle with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the same cancer that claimed Jackie Kennedy Onassis’ life. My discovery of the book filled me with disappointment. Someone’s gotten ahead of me again. Story of my life. Always behind. It all started in grade school when the class would fall in line alphabetically. With the surname starting with “R,” I was always near the end of the line, craning my neck over and around classmates to see what’s going on way out front.
I grudgingly checked the book out. The image of the comedian’s gaunt face covers much of the jacket. The book contains only 189 pages. Good. I figured, even with Adenocarcinoma Stage IV, I’ll live long enough to read it from cover to cover and return it early to avoid a penalty fine. If I intend to straddle my heirs with debt, it will be for a timeshare in Mexico, not for a library penalty fee. I started reading the book. It’s hilarious. Everything rings true – of dreams mercifully cut short, anxieties, denials, etc. The comedian and his writer did a fabulous job. Then, halfway through the book, I stopped. Somehow I felt like I had known the comedian for years. I revisited the image of his haggard face on the jacket and took note of the book’s publication date: 2008. That’s five years ago. Cancer must have already claimed the life of this man who valiantly brought laughter to sufferers as he himself fought the dreaded disease. Cancer be damned, I muttered to myself. To verify my suspicion, I googled his name, and voila, I was right! Robert Schimmel is already dead. He was killed in a car accident in Scottsdale, Arizona in 2010.
So there you have it. Cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. Who knows! I might live long enough to get Alzheimer’s. And that would be scary to my heirs.
What’s your opinion about cancer diagnosis?

How a Corporate Library Are able to use Technology to further improve Its Services
A corporate collection is simply a specialized library made for use by the executive staff of a firm. It provides usage of books, periodicals and other studying material that the personnel might not be capable of get to on their own. Corporate your local library also act as meeting spots for business top administration to meet and discuss current business concerns and concerns. Corporate libraries are especially ideal for those corporations with a little or online workforce, as they can provide catalogs and other examining materials complimentary to the worker. Corporate libraries also save staff time, and are valuable tools meant for competitive brains work.
There are plenty of components to a corporate selection. The most basic service offered by many corporate libraries is a central collection spot in which to store all books and examining materials. This central collection area might become a large area or may be divided into more compact cubicles or perhaps areas. Bigger libraries often times have multiple computer workstations and listening areas. With the creation of the Internet, a company library may also include internet access to the Internet, providing a wealth of details and analysis resources accessible to employees. A large number of libraries also offer conference and presentation features, along with audio-video hardware.
One of the main reasons why libraries are generally growing in recent years is the growing importance of e-commerce in business. Ecommerce has changed the way in which businesses are conducted, and it is expected that more organization activities changes the face in the traditional book and news flash market. Mainly because many libraries have a small amount of space, digital library services are being used to expand the scope and size of a company’s digital library. This enables companies to expand the knowledge of digital media, digital technology and related topics. This also helps to ensure profound results for that company to fully make use of electronic multimedia and audio-visual resources.
Local library automation is definitely one technology that has been designed to help managers manage the digital collection. Library automation provides a means for managers to develop customised workflows that instantly arrange and sort the digital media kept in a company’s library. The resulting work load can be maximised by the creation of workflows that minimise the time put in looking through individual records and looking for specific data. Automation enables managers to work with their time for other crucial business tasks, which makes it less complicated for them to cope with the growing complexity of e-commerce.
One other way that libraries are being used to raise a industry’s knowledge can be through the use of smart digital your local library. These libraries are designed to give users with access to the most up-to-date information, with minimal effort. Intelligent digital your local library can be developed through a number of different methods, which includes content websites, internet websites, computer’s desktop publishing, email libraries, cellular applications and electronic reading software. The knowledge contained in an intelligent digital catalogue can be used from everywhere, as long as the person has entry to a wireless network or cellular telephone. Intelligent digital libraries may significantly reduces costs of the process of researching and learning, making it more convenient and exciting for users.
In order to think loose inside the corporate catalogue industry, confer with a professional writing service are essential. An authoring service will ensure that the company library provides the highest quality journals and will help create custom publications tailored to the demands of the selection. They can as well help develop and magazine academic reference materials that may appeal to publishers. Additionally , these services can also talk with publishers to produce newsletters, press announcements and catalogues, which will effectively reach the entire academic community.
Another way that the business library are able to use its digital transformation to enhance its offerings is throughout the development and implementation of strategic pursuits. The most good corporations happen to be those that purchase long-term strategy planning. Digital transformation allows these companies to take into account their near future, focusing on the future of their collection offerings. This way, www.melinux.org they can expand their collections and be sure that they have an extensive range of top quality publications ideal their customers. A well-planned and comprehensive ideal plan may also help the organization to avoid needless spending by simply avoiding purchasing too many publications that do not meet its specific requirements.
Finally, another way that the corporate and business library products can use their very own transformation to boost their products and services is through the creation and maintenance of an info center. Data centers happen to be information hubs, providing users access to the company’s directory, web site and e-mail. The knowledge center should be designed in the easiest way that provides you with quick access to all from the information the business provides. This allows company to ensure that it grows to out to it is fullest choice of potential customers and improves it is profitability.

|Collected Works : A
Journal of Jazz 1954-1999 by Whitney Balliett
Whitney Balliett achieves the impossible: He has the rare ability to lyrically write about jazz events in a manner that allows any reader to experience the music, the musicians and the scene without getting lost. During a lifetime of honing his considerable skill as a writer of jazz for The New Yorker since 1957, he has maintained an enthusiastic descriptive style that instructs as to the historical relevance and stylistic legacy of the players he profiles. Often his writing equals the elegance and creativity of the music. If you are looking to know about jazz, this is the one book to own. ~GP
A History of the New York Scene by Samuel B. Charters and Leonard Kunstadt
Although this book is out of print, it is not impossible to find and well worth the effort -- especially if you found this site based on a passion for New York's jazz past. Charters and Kunstadt have done exhaustive (ten years) research into the world capital of jazz, to uncover the stories, photos and other printed media that bring the old Harlem, 52nd St. and Greenwich Village back to life. From James Reese Europe's Hellfighters Band and the Original Dixieland Band through the Modern Jazz Quartet and a look toward the future, this book has it all. ~ Gordon Polatnick
A History of America's Music by Ken Burns and Geoffrey C. Ward.
This companion book to the 10 part TV series, Jazz, is decidedly less controversial to hard core jazz fans. The documentary has been the subject of debate since before it aired -- criticized for its editorial decisions to focus on certain artists and their contributions to jazz, while ignoring or glossing over others. Here in the book, though, the photos and organization of jazz history are rich in detail and cover the subject in a more appropriate manner for answering questions and satisfying instant gratification. Better than any book before it in covering the minutiae and world renown events in jazz, Burns and Ward's book succeeds in bringing home the impact that jazz music has had on American culture and abroad. The celebration is infectious. ~Gordon Polatnick
|Space is the Place:
The Lives and Times of Sun Ra by John F Szwed
Born Herman Poole Blount in Alabama in 1914, he reinvented himself in the 1950s as Sun Ra, the great surrealist of jazz whose free-form performances with his Arkestra amply justified the description "'jspace music." His mystical beliefs were equally avant-garde; Yale professor John Szwed sympathetically explains some fairly far-out notions as "driven by a hunger for totality that only music could express." Szwed recovers the biographical facts Sun Ra was often at pains to obscure, without losing sight of the overriding role imagination played in this visionary life. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. ~Amazon editorial
| The World of Duke
Ellington by Stanley Dance
The legend of Duke Ellington's sound has always been entwined with the idiosyncratic "voices" of his individual soloists. As friend and confidant to the maestro and his orchestra, Stanley Dance had a unique opportunity to observe and interview Duke and his legendary sidemen. Along with Duke, interviewees include: Johnny Hodges, Billy Strayhorn, Cootie Williams, Ben Webster, Harry Carney, Clark Terry, Paul Gonsalves, and Cat Anderson -- about thirty in depth studies in all. Dance also covers a tour of Latin America in diary form, and touches on Dukes sacred concerts. Great candid photos dot the book. There are many books on Duke, but I like this one for its intimacy and first person accounts of the man and the band through six decades of highs and lows. ~Gordon Polatnick
|Really the Blues
by Mezz Mezzrow and Bernard Wolfe
I wish I was around in 1946 when this book first came out. It seems to teach Henry Miller how to write from the gut. Reading Mezz Mezzrow's first hand tales of Louis Armstrong, Chicago gangsters, Bessie Smith, Harlem street culture, the reefer trade, and the humanity which sustains jazz musicians such as he, is more vivid than any movie on the era could conjure. The book is written with a purity of purpose which is to describe a gritty culture from its sweetest center. The facts of the story may be challenged, but never the attention to real human feeling, where joy and grief are both treasured emotions. A glossary in back assists with the authentic lingo in which the book was written. I didn't put Really The Blues down till I read it twice through. ~ Gordon Polatnick
: The Autobiography by Miles Davis, Quincy Troupe (Contributor) (September 1990)
Miles Davis in his own voice. He had such an identifiable voice on trumpet, no less so in writing his life experiences. This book takes us back to 1940's Harlem and down on 52nd Street where Miles helped influence a sea change in modern jazz. The personalities come to life in Miles' words -- giants of jazz become recognizable as men with distinct character traits both enhancing and detracting from their legendary status. Miles also takes us with him on tour and in seclusion, from birth to near death. Great photos included. ~ Gordon Polatnick
Note: The above link includes several more objective surveys of Miles' career,

The Protectorate Series: The Driesen Chronicles.
Volume 1: The Manor of the World’s End
“The apocalypse has happened before. It will happen again. It is a cyclical thing, a force of nature, like a comet, a geyser, or a migration. Just as old age threatens us all, withers our limbs and bends our spines, entropy lurks at the edges of civilization, waiting to show us the face of our bestial selves. And when the darkness comes, when the world falls to ashes and the light of knowledge fails to shine, humanity forgets what was learned. Science becomes the stuff of magic, but when the magic fails to work it is neglected.
All is forgotten, and humanity is the poorer for it. Unless someone can keep the flame alive.”
– Eric Driesen
The apocalypse has come again.
The modern world has fallen, brought low by the promise of its own immortality.
The dead have risen.
Mankind has devolved.
Those who survive, whisper of a safe place where they can be free. Here, the last vestiges of the old world, the triumphs of humanity have been secured and defended. It shines like a beacon of hope in the darkness, calling to those who wander the world, desolate and alone. Only a select few know the way, and the survivors flock to them. The Caravan of Children. The Sledge and its Anvil. The Wayward. But the road is fraught with peril as society consumes itself. For humanity to endure, they must reach the Manor.
That Manor is called, World’s End.

Oh, the places we’ll go! This adorable couple met in December 2009, when Bethany moved to Taiwan as a teacher and was placed at an English school in the central city of Taichung.
She was later scheduled to observe an experienced teacher, who turned out to be Heston! Heston taught at her school two days a week, but they grew close over months of exploring Taiwan together.
The gorgeous couple chose a travel theme and wed at Marion County Central Library in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. Throughout their wedding, Bethany and Heston, included lots of details from all over the world. Instead of the traditional unity candle, they used worldly spices. Their wedding favors were candies from South Africa. Their vows were written and read from a little black passport book. The wedding cake tiers were luggage.
Bethany flew in from Oregon and Heston from South Africa for their big day in Indianapolis! Bethany explained, “When the wedding planning process begins, there are so many decision to make and numerous details that can steer the feeling of your wedding in any direction. My husband and I had been through quite the journey due to immigration, long distance communication, and the decisions of where and when to begin our lives together. At the end of the day, I chose to focus on the importance of us being in the same place together and the feeling that comes naturally when we were together – joy.”
Many congratulations to the newlyweds and a special thanks to Angel Canary Photography for sharing these lovely wedding pictures with One Stylish Bride.

Paca initially refuses, but the visit from the two writers reminds him of his youth.


This book is a compilation of my most important charts and lessons. They are the parts of learning guitar that have guided and shaped me from the beginning. For example, the first fingers exercise 18.104.22.168… is the same exercise my guitar teacher, Steve Thornhill, gave me in my first lessons. These are the foundational building blocks that will lead you on a path to success in learning guitar and playing well.
The charts are seriously amazing and will guide you for years as a guitar player. Nothing is this book is simple filler. It’s all important and it’s all from my journey.
Another example, the open up, line up, grab, tilt method for beginners to start holding the guitar has helped thousands of my beginner students. I created this method in my years as a private teacher. When you do the right things in the right order and make the right little tweaks, things you once thought were hart, become easy! That’s how I teach and that’s what I am excited to pass down to you.
Over the years, I have taken the confusing topics and broke them down into cool charts and easy to chew bites. You can look at this and finally feel confident as a guitar player. Step by step, you will unlock your potential as you study and practice through this book.

Ladies Lunch & Bible Study: 2nd Tuesday of each month
11:30 | Lunch ($5 at the door) • 12:10 | Study
The Mothers & Daughters of the Bible Speak by Shannon Bream. A new Study Series based on #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
God always keeps His promises, but not always in the way we expect…
“Have faith” is a phrase we hear all the time. But what does it actually look like to live it out? In The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream examines the lives of biblical women to see how God’s plans can turn our worlds upside down. The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak shows that faith is more often a twisting road than a straight line. Yet, as the stories of biblical families attest, at the end of these journeys lies greater peace and joy than we could ever imagine.
Each month we will study a new chapter of the book, which you can buy and read if you wish, but is not required.

Lucia Mangano was born in Trecastagni (CT) on April 8, 1896, the fourth of nine children.
Her father Nunzio and her mother Giuseppina Sapienza were poor peasants, but of deep goodness and God-fearing. Soon the young Lucia was taken to the countryside, where her father worked in a big vineyard and olive-grove. From childhood she received special favors from God. When she was a little girl, she loved listening to her mother tell the story of Jesusâ€™ Passion. She often meditated on it, desiring and trying to imitate Him in His sufferings.

Giovanna Medeghini, the foundress of the Ursulines of the Sacred Heart of Mary, was born on May 23, 1868, in Bolzano Vicentino, while her parents, inhabitants of Grigno in Trentino, then Austrian territory, were returning home with the flock. She came to Breganze, in the province of Vicenza, where she lived with her uncle and aunt Baggio. In Breganze she lived, developed as a person and as a Christian, and chose her vocation. From early in life, with her humble roots, she developed a personality singularly endowed with distinction and intelligence, with spiritual goodness and deep religiosity, without having had opportunities for study

Mother Ignazia Isacchi and Mother Margherita Lussana: notwithstanding their two different life experiences, as a result of their identical responses to their common vocation to consecrated life, Divine Providence caused them to meet. Then Providence guided them on a path of mutual support; along the way that support was transformed into a communion of affection, of thoughts, of aims, and of works that originated first in the Heart of Jesus and found there the ultimate perfection of that very vocation

On 27th Aprile 1991 in the Church of Saint Alessandro della Croce, the Bishop of Bergamo, Monsignor Giulio Oggioni solemnly opened the diocesan enquirt about the cause of the canonization of the servants of God, sisters Gesuina Seghezzi and Dositea Bottani of the Institute of the Ursuline Sisters of the Holy Immaculate Virgin Mary. The diocesan phase ended on 14th December 1991, now the Positio super vita et virtutibus of the two nuns is being elaborated in the Congregation of the Saintsâ€™ Causes.
The two causes started together because the two nunsâ€™ sanctity lives, shared for many years at the service of the Institute and of the Church, are a great prophetic witness for us today.
They lived in deep syntony, though they had two very different personalities: Sister Gesuina was very linked to good traditions and she was very austere; sister Dositea was open to novelties and free in the law of love.
Their very diversity, capable of a serene and constructive dialogue with history and culture, enabled the Institute of the Ursuline of the Immaculate Virgin Mary to open with enthusiasm to the novelty of Concilio Vaticano II, prophetically anticipating its new contents.

Visitors to the Mansion are now enjoying an exhibit recently installed by Curator Arlene Palmer Schwind in a new lighted case under the stairs in the back of the stair hall. It features the dazzling silk passementerie (trimmings) that originally embellished the window hangings in the Parlor. Believed to have been made in Paris, these floral festoons, tiebacks, tassels, and edging reveal the rich and colorful décor of the room as the Morses knew it.
The exhibit includes an original curtain pin from the Parlor as well as historic photographs that show the passementerie in context. The exhibit was made possible by a grant that Victoria
Mansion received from the Institute of Museum and Library Services to clean, re-house, and exhibit its unique collection of mid-nineteenth century passementerie.


Music journalist ALEXEY M. EVDOKIMOV is currently in the process of writing "LEXICANUM OF DOOM", the definitive encyclopedia and history of traditional doom, due to be published soon (more info, details and release date T.B.A.).
FROM "LEXICANUM OF DOOM":
“Lexicanum of Doom” is an overview of the doom scene, following the traditional side of the music. This book will cover such genres as traditional doom, stoner doom, psychedelic, epic doom, and their hybrids derived from different combinations of rock and metal components. I think that extreme doom subgenres deserve their own separate story, so I chose to avoid this huge part of the scene, and left it for another writer.
Here you’ll find the stories of the well-known forefathers of doom, like Pentagram, Trouble and Candlemass. We’ll take a look at the legacy of later explorers such as Cathedral and Electric Wizard. And of course – and this is the crux of the book – we’ll observe the growth of the genre all the way to the point where it is now.
If public interest is high enough, the book will be released in A4 format, with 1 black and white picture for each band and 8-12 pages of colour inserts. If there is less support - as may be expected - then I’ll only be able to print the book in A5, probably without the colour parts. So, the shape of doom is in your hands...
This profile is created for the promotion of this book, dedicated to the doom scene under the working title “Lexicanum of Doom”. You can find a promo of the provisional A4 layout below.
I am a kind of journalist - I started doing reviews and interviews for English and Russian e-zines. Now I contribute to Fire and InRock magazines.
Totally about > 600 interviews and >700 reviews for InRock, Fire, Doom Metal Front magazines and for e-zines like doom-metal.com, nocleansinging.com, metallibrary.ru, doommantia.com, templeofperdition, and Occult Rock Magazine.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-

Sara Miller McCune, founder, executive chairman, and publisher of Pacific Standard, is the publisher and chair of SAGE Publications, Inc., the California-based book and journal publishing house, as well as president of the McCune Foundation, based in Montecito, California. In 1965, she founded SAGE Publications in New York City and moved the company to California in mid-1966, serving as its president for 18 years prior to becoming SAGE’s chairman in 1984. SAGE Publications, one of the leading academic and educational publishers in the world, is headquartered in Thousand Oaks, California, and has offices in Washington, D.C.; London; New Delhi and Kolkata, India; and Singapore.
A graduate of Queens College of the City University of New York, McCune is a member of the board of directors of the Center for the Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University and of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. She has served as a trustee of Fielding Graduate University, headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, and as Fielding’s interim president in 1999-2000. She is currently a member of the UC Santa Barbara Foundation board of trustees and the UC Santa Barbara Chancellor’s Council.
In 2007, Sara Miller McCune founded the Miller-McCune Center for Research, Media and Public Policy, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Santa Barbara, California, to provide journalists and media professionals with the tools to properly disseminate research-based knowledge to influential audiences in the U.S. and abroad. As a private operating foundation, the Miller-McCune Center strives to not just inform, but also to promote meaningful dialogue by reporting, in clear and concise language, the latest and most relevant scientific research and innovations shaping the issues of the day. Today, using print and online resources, internships, and direct outreach to the scholarly community, the Center’s goal is to tap into existing social and behavioral research to inform and promote forward-thinking actions in public policy. To that end, the Center supports the following programs:
PACIFIC STANDARD MAGAZINE AND PSMAG.COM
True to the mission of the Miller-McCune Center, the award-winning Pacific Standard magazine and companion website, PSmag.com, reaches nearly 1,000,000 readers each month with evocative research-based articles featuring the best of the social sciences. From the brain to the ballot box, from Facebook to foreign affairs, Pacific Standard tackles the world’s biggest social, political, and cultural issues by exploring why we do what we do.
SCIENCE AND THE MEDIA PARTNERSHIPS
In an effort to help active researchers share their work with broader audiences in the public and policy arenas, the Center partners with organizations such as COMPASS and the Heinz Center’s Institute for Science Communication & Policy Development, as well as two Stanford University-based initiatives, the Aldo Leonard Leadership Program and the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, to bring media resources, content, and expertise to private and public events.
SCIENCE JOURNALISM FELLOWSHIPS
The Center offers hands-on internships and fellowships to talented and eager journalism and policy students from around the world at its base in Santa Barbara, California. More than 14 people have come through the program since its inception in 2008.
PACIFIC STANDARD LIVE!
In 2014, Pacific Standard launched a series of public events with journalists, policy experts, and social scientists to present some of our biggest stories and examine why finding solutions will take more than intellectual energy and policies to move the dial.
WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
A letter from Sara Miller-McCune, founder of the Miller-McCune Center for Research, Media and Public Policy and Pacific Standard.
January 9, 2013
For more years than I care to count, I have been reading and publishing academic articles about the latest research in political science, education, sociology, and psychology. Together with economics, these areas of study—the social sciences—make up the empirical backbone of American public life. From James S. Coleman’s research proving that “separate but equal” schools were anything but equal, to James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling’s “broken windows” theory of policing, to Robert D. Putnam’s bracing look at the decline of civic engagement and social connections in his 2000 book, Bowling Alone, the research and the findings of social and behavioral scientists have repeatedly risen to the forefront of the national debate, and set the course of policy.
Just as often, however, valuable and potentially transformative insights from the social sciences have been overlooked, misunderstood, or passed over. Today, whole edifices of policy and public opinion rest on outdated models of human behavior and expedient nostrums about how markets, cultures, and institutions work. Where this is the case, the best research cries out to be heard.
We live in exciting times when it comes to our understanding of the mind, human behavior, and society. Advances in psychology and brain science have begun remaking entire fields of knowledge, including economics, law, and education. The notion that we humans are rational actors seeking always to maximize our self-interest—a concept that has been the basis of much modern economic policy and thought—is losing ground to explanations that chart the ways in which we are, to borrow a term from the behavioral economist Dan Ariely, predictably irrational.
These ideas have already begun to reshape the world of policy. In the United Kingdom, Prime Minister David Cameron has created a Behavioural Insights Team within his Cabinet Office. Here in the United States, the fledgling Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was deeply informed by behavioral economic principles from its founding—which means that these theories now stand to transform the market for mortgages, credit cards, and numerous other products that define the financial lives of Americans. Not long ago, the National Academy of Sciences sponsored an open meeting, in which we participated, to discuss the contributions of the social and behavioral sciences to national security, medicine, and engineering. The discussion covered the prevention of medical errors, the importance of human factors on the battlefield, and the ways in which an understanding of national and global human behavior can be harnessed to complete complex engineering projects in developing countries.
The world is facing so many overwhelming problems. How do we build an economy that is both fair and vibrant? How can we deliver basic, affordable health care for all? How can we educate our children so that more are trained for lives of success? How can we develop an environmentally sustainable society? How can we create a more just and democratic world in the face of rising inequality? These questions beg for answers, facts, and serious inquiry. Yet all too often the media pose merely rhetorical questions, leaving the loudest mouths on the far edges of the political spectrum to answer them, while neglecting the job of getting to the empirical truth of the matter.
Over the years, as one trailblazing article or book after another came across my desk at SAGE Publications, I would worry about how to get these important ideas to a wider audience. I founded the Miller-McCune Center for Research, Media and Public Policy to do just that by pairing experienced journalists with the researchers and experts who scientifically scrutinize the nation’s biggest issues relating to education, justice, the environment, and the economy.
Today, early in our sixth year of publishing this magazine—formerly under the name Miller-McCune, and now as Pacific Standard—we look around and see an unharnessed wealth of research that can address many of today’s problems and actually advance our most intractable debates. Two of the organizations I am involved with—the American Academy of Political and Social Science and the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University—are working to expand the public’s recognition of research that should be central to our national conversation.
Pacific Standard’s goal is to be the publication that explains the deeply researched work that is, and that should be, changing policy. We endeavor to give our readers the tools—in the form of lively reportage and robust research findings—to answer the most vexing problems facing the world today.

A Wind of Change ‘A Blowin’ (cont.)

Thus, the representatives of Southern Africa did not bring us words of despair, did not bring us words of discouragement, but rather brought us words of hope that the day is not long when indeed justice shall prevail in Southern Africa because the wind of change is blowing; likewise for Central America. Surely the Ambassador of Nicaragua was clear that the U.S. government, its leadership, and corporate structure, were intensifying its intervention, that big ships were speeding that way, and that mercenaries were being trained in Honduras, but there was no note of despair.
Likewise from the representatives of the FDR and El Salvador who talked about the odds against them because of the U.S. presence in that region; but there was no note of despair , no note of discouragement. Consistently, they conveyed the unmistakable impression that they were on the side of history, and the wind of change is blowing in their favor. The wind of change is blowing in their direction.
It reminded us of what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. remarked before he was assassinated — that he believed that America was on the wrong side of history; that they seem to have a death wish which evidences itself so in support of reactionary regimes, the rightist regimes, the dictator regimes in Central and South America. And the words of Martin Luther King junior still apply. Thank God there is a wind of change a ‘blowing.
The wind of change is blowing in Central America. The wind of change is blowing in the Caribbean. And although, as I indicated, our great friend and distinguished Ambassador of Grenada was not here, had he been on the program and brought U.S. news of the Caribbean, using his great country as an example, I’m certain that he, too, would not have had any words of despair — would not have had any words of disappointment — would not have had any words of discontent. But he too would have struck a note. Would have sounded the bell of hope and excitement. For the wind of change is blowing in the Caribbean. So whether in Southern Africa whether in Central America, whether in Grenada, or in the Caribbean in general, when we look across the world we need not despair for the wind of change is blowing.

Meet Zeus, king of all the gods, ruler of the skies, cloud gatherer and master of rain. Listen to his torrid tales of how he fought and conquered his father, Cronus, then drew lots with his brothers, Poseidon and Hades, to become supreme ruler of the gods.
The children will discover his deadly powers and his lightning thunderbolt which he hurls at those who displease him by writing his biography. The children will also be introduced to a range of Greek myths, retelling them and writing their own.
This half term, the children will be focusing on place value of numbers up to 10, 000, 000. They will learn the value of each digit of numbers, including decimals to 3 decimal places.
The children will be looking at how to make a number 10, 100 and 1000 times bigger of smaller, applying their knowledge of place value.
Children will be learning about the main body parts and internal organs to explore and answer questions that help them to understand how the circulatory system enables the body to function.
The children will learn how to keep their bodies healthy and how their bodies might be damaged - including how some drugs and other substances can be harmful to the human body. Children will work scientifically by: exploring the work of scientists and scientific research about the relationship between diet, exercise lifestyle and health.
The story of the people of God
In this unit, the children will develop their knowledge and understanding of the structure of the Bible and the forms of literature that are found in the different books. The children will be introduced to stories of significant people in the Old Testament. They will discover what some of these stories tell us about their relationship with God.

Relay provides several configuration directives and the
relay.ini file is easily located by running:
It’s strongly recommended to set the
relay.databases directives. If you have a license, be sure to set the
relay.environment as well.
Relay will allocate what
relay.maxmemory is set to when PHP starts, even if no
relay.key. However if no valid license was set, after 60 minutes of runtime, Relay will downsize the allocated memory to its hard limit of 32 MB.
Disabling the cache
Sometimes you may wish to install the Relay extension, but not have it allocate memory, either because you want to only use it as a faster alternative to PhpRedis, or to keep it dormant for future use.
You may disable all in-memory caching and memory allocation by setting:
relay.maxmemory = 0
; The path to the extension binary. ; Relative paths will look in `php-config --extension-dir`. ; extension = relay.so ; Relay license key (via https://relay.so). ; Without a license key Relay will throttle to 32MB memory one hour after startup. ; ; relay.key = ; The environment Relay is running in. ; Supported values: `production`, `staging`, `testing`, `development` ; ; relay.environment = development ; How much memory Relay allocates on startup. This value can either be a ; number like 33554432 or with a unit (e.g. 32M) like memory_limit. ; Set to `0` to use Relay as a client without in-memory caching. ; See: https://php.net/manual/faq.using.php#faq.using.shorthandbytes ; ; relay.maxmemory = 32M ; At what percentage of used memory should Relay start evicting keys. ; ; relay.maxmemory_pct = 75 ; How should relay evict keys. This has been designed to mirror Redis’ ; options and we currently support `noeviction`, `lru`, and `random`. ; ; relay.eviction_policy = noeviction ; How many keys should we scan each time we process evictions. ; ; relay.eviction_sample_keys = 128 ; Default to using a persistent connection when calling `connect()`. ; ; relay.default_pconnect = 1 ; The number of databases Relay will create per in-memory cache. ; This setting should match the `databases` setting in your `redis.conf`. ; ; relay.databases = 16 ; The maximum number of in-memory databases Relay will create per endpoint. ; ; relay.max_endpoint_dbs = 16 ; The number of epoch readers allocated on startup. ; ; relay.initial_readers = 128 ; How often (in microseconds) Relay should proactively check the ; connection for invalidation messages from Redis. ; ; relay.invalidation_poll_freq = 5 ; Whether Relay should log debug information. ; Supported levels: `debug`, `verbose`, `error`, `off` ; ; relay.loglevel = off ; The name of the file where information should be logged, if logging is enabled. ; ; relay.logfile = /tmp/relay.log


“We’re going burning.” Australian writer, journalist and author, Tasman Anderson’s first novel, Know Your Enemy is a really good read! It was fast-paced, high action, and engaging – a top job for a debut novel!
Nicole is desperate to leave Silverlake, the small town she’s spent her whole life in, and her plans for escape and her future career are all falling into place. But when the local heartthrob Aiden points out the one thing holding her back, Nicole’s response sets off a chain of bad decisions that leaves her second guessing everything she ever knew about herself. Does Nic have what it takes to survive in this unknown world, or is she letting her desires ruin her life?
To be honest, my favourite character was Libby; with Aiden being a close second (one to add to the fictional crush list). Not too often I find myself loving the ‘best friend’, but Libby played an essential role in my eyes and her character developed really well. Anderson did a fantastic job at creating believable characters with no two people exactly alike. As a teenager with big aspirations myself, I could relate to Nicole and sympathised when her and the group were in trouble.
I enjoyed the style that Know Your Enemy was written in and appreciated the use of tension and showing and not simply telling, which was effective. However, I guessed the ‘plot twists’ that arose throughout the book including the ‘major bombshell’. Although I tend to enjoy chick-lit and dystopian, I do like a good dose of mystery and action and was eager to finish the novel. I don’t know much about cars but I loved the detail especially when it came to the upmarket drives! Based on my knowledge, there hasn’t been a story like this published yet so it was great to read a fresh storyline that included common yet important themes such as whether the truth really sets you free. I would recommend it to high schoolers looking for something fun and intense but don’t mind a little teenage drama and romance. Anderson’s, Know Your Enemy is an exciting YA read and I do look forward to reading her future works. I would rate it a 3.5/5 but round that off, it becomes 4 stars.
