Look Book | UNIQLO UT X SPRZ NY Collection
To all my Canadian fashion and art lovers: Rejoice. Why? Because, SPRZ NY, a collaboration between MoMA and UNIQLO has finally launched in UNIQLO stores in Canada!
Back in ther summer I finally made the time to visit the New York flagship on 5th Ave because I wanted to get my hands on a couple of these exclusive UNIQLO Ts (UT) and I’m glad to share that the collaboration is now available in UNIQLO stores in Canada!
Here’s a backgrounder for those of you unaware of the history of the collaboration:
At UNIQLO, we seek to enhance lifestyles worldwide with our clothing. We provide quality apparel that is functional, innovative, and affordable. Our casual basics are designed for everyone – including our UT line of T-shirts, featuring graphic designs from the worlds of fine art, music, and culture.
With the world’s finest collection of modern and contemporary art and a dynamic exhibition program, The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is a place for discovery and engagement that fuels creativity and inspires art enthusiasts of all ages and experiences.
The Museum of Modern Art attracts visitors from around the world. Supplementing its collection and exhibitions, MoMA’s resources include a Library and Archives, conservation labs, study centers, and education programs, which broaden public access to art and research.
In their different fields of expertise, UNIQLO and MoMA share a passion for quality and innovation, and it is a happy coincidence that UNIQLO and the Museum are near one another – UNIQLO at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 53rd Street, and MoMA on 53rd Street. As a neighbor in Midtown Manhattan, UNIQLO shares the Museum’s values and deep respect for art.
In May 2013 UNIQLO became a multi-year corporate sponsor of MoMA, supporting the Museum’s Friday night free admission program—now UNIQLO Free Friday Nights—which provides free access for the public to the Museum and all exhibitions from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. every Friday, throughout the year.
The SPRZ NY (Surprise New York) collection aims to disseminate examples of stunning artistic inspiration around the world. This will be the first UT collection available to Canadians.
In its 10th season, UTs have become central to UNIQLO’s LifeWear approach by emotionally engaging with people. Their internationally beloved content simply and directly conveys the individuality and moods of wearers. NIGO, the UT Creative Director, leverages his passion and expertise to make UT the standard for T-shirts featuring select pop culture icons from around the globe.
The SPRZ NY collection is available at Yorkdale & Eaton Centre UNIQLO stores..

THE METROPOLITAN Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Ave., at 82nd Street, presents the special installation, “Reality Check: Truth and Illusion in Contemporary Photography,” now on display through Sunday, March 22.

The collection of photos feature staged scenarios or constructed environments that appear to be real, as well as real scenes or landscapes that appear strangely artificial. An example from the exhibition is a photo by David Levinthal, which appears to depict an actual battlefront scene, but in reality, the shot features only toy soldiers. For more information, call 212-535-7710.

Today is the first day of Summer holiday at Doshisha. Unfortunately, I’ve to go to the campus for 2 reasons; Support Staff for Disabled Students meeting, and Clover Festival Meeting and Party. I am sitting in the train right now waiting for home while writing this post.
What I saw when I arrived in Campus was a view where not quite lots of people were playing in the field, sitting in the library. I mean, it’s summer holiday and lots of them are still going to campus, either for club activity or self studying.
Their number of course less than half of the usual days, but for me, that is a lot. Some people might say: “Who wants to climb the mountain under the sun in the middle of summer just for club activities?” “I would better reading manga or watching anime at home while turning on the AC.”
I was thinking ‘who are these people whom coming to the campus in these days. Are they those who live around the campus and have nothing to do?’ But as I thought about it several times, it is a good thing to go to campus even though there is no class. Free AC, books on the library, social interactions and etc. Studying for the next semester at the library might also a good idea, isn’t it?
When the night has come, I depart from campus go home at 8:30. As I walk down from the Cafeteria to the station, I passed though the library. The light inside the library was still bright. In the front of the library, some students who joined ‘Double Dutch’ club were still rehersal for show. I stared them from a far and saw their performance. It was really cool.
Inside the library itself, I saw some students sitting near the window in the second floor studying hard. I was imagining if I’ve moved in to the apartment near the campus, my life more or less will be look like this.
And just before I leave the a main gate, I saw lots of little stars above the night sky. It has been a long time that I’ve never seen a star so beautiful like this.
Ah, ok.. I am in Tsuruhashi right now, means that I’ll arrive home in less that 8 minutes.. That’s enough for today. See ya..

Edelbrock – Made In The USA is one of the most fascinating and comprehensive writings on the history of the Edelbrock company as well as the birth and evolution of the hot rod industry. Vic Edelbrock Sr. was at the center of this industry back when it all began. The following is an excerpt from Chapter Six.
It was the pinnacle of the muscle car era. Detroit was pumping out high-performance cars at an absurd rate, and automakers were building on their performance image. At the time, Bob Cahill was Chrysler’s marketing/public relations expert. He had developed a working relationship with Vic Edelbrock Jr. during a sponsorship program for their Super Stock and Pro Stock racing teams. Sox & Martin, Herb McCandless and Dick Landy ran Edelbrock decals on their cars in exchange for sponsorship money.
When Chrysler decided to bring their racing image to the street, Cahill offered Vic something even better, and he jumped at the chance. Edelbrock would provide the manifold for the awesome “Six Pack” 440 engine that would be available on the Dodge Super Bee, Dodge Challenger, Plymouth Road Runner and Super Bird. Even better, the manifold would carry the Edelbrock name. Up to this point, the only other aftermarket part used by the factory and allowed to retain its original nameplate was George Hurst’s four-speed shifter.
Vic had been given unprecedented opportunity; one that would help change the course of the company. Chrysler Corporation purchased between 1,500 and 2,000 manifolds with the Edelbrock name in the casting. It was the largest single order in Edelbrock history. Cost factors with the decline of muscle cars forced Chrysler to go back to factory cast iron after two years, but what a ride it had been.

The 2016 Tapestry Design Prize for Architects (TDPA) invited designs for a hypothetical tapestry to hang in the National Gallery of Australia. There is a long-standing historical connection between architectural space and tapestries. The Tapestry Design Prize for Architects is a platform to strengthen this connection between architects and the tapestry weaving practice. On display at Artisan are the designs by the 13 finalists from 2016, including the winning design by Justin Hill from Singapore. Also on display will be the monumental tapestry woven from the design of the 2015 TDPA joint winner John Wardle Architects and commissioned by Judith Nielsen AM for her new Phoenix Gallery in Sydney.

Jeanette Stok is a Brisbane-based artist who is influenced by her work as a research scientist and the traditional crafts introduced to her by mother and grandmother. Stok’s wire embroidery installation, Mutagenesis, is created using Hardanger embroidery techniques, which traditionally employ repeated motifs to create symmetrical, geometric designs that share much in common with the replication of living cells. Stok transforms traditional Hardanger configurations to represent the concept of mutation that occurs when internal mistakes or external factors disrupt the patterns of living cells.


I am a huge fan of books, and children’s books in particular. We have hundreds of books and, well, I’m not sorry. But there comes a time when the right thing to do is to say good-bye.
Last week we got to attend a birthday party for a very special girl, Julia. She turned 3 years old, and the boys and I decided to give her some of our beloved-but-outgrown board books (Brown Bear, Brown Bear, I Love You Little One, and others). To her, each new book was an undiscovered treasure. To us, each one was an old friend moving on, shipping off for new adventures. It was a happy parting of ways, and we know that those books will continue to be loved and used, read and reread over the next several or many years.
Today I sent away a big stack of story books to grandma’s house. My mother has been saying that Asher (6) tends to choose the same baby books at her house, whereas here at home he craves chapter books that we can really get into and enjoy night after night. It’s time for those too-familiar baby books to go, and for new books to be on offer at grandma’s house. Variety is good! I sent over some fairy tale collections and story anthologies, like Seuss and others, which can be read in one bedtime reading session. (And it’s a win for me, too, because I think I cannot read another Seuss story in my life. Seriously. I will die.)
A few months ago we gave cousin Baby Jack a bunch of baby books. Books that my sons loved reading daily (Dig, Dig, Digging!, The Big Red Barn) are staying in the family and that makes us very happy. I’m hoping sometime I’ll get to see Lucas or Asher reading those books to Jack.
I am by no means a Simplicity Hero. We still have plenty of sentimental books in our collection (the photo above shows books we aren’t yet ready to part with). But it does feel good to purge a little because it makes room for new and exciting adventures: Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Norse myths, Septimus Heap, Holes, and so many classics (Robin Hood, Zorro, Wizard of Oz, Robinson Crusoe, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Call of the Wild, The Trumpet of the Swan, Ender’s Game. The possibilities are endless, stretching before us in a river of glorious stories.
What’s on your summer reading list? Any kids’ books?

Father Paweł Ruszel is a historical figure. He lived at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries.>
Father Ruszel went down in history as a saintly man, promoter of the cult of the relics of the Holy Cross Tree and the Church Brotherhood of the Holy Cross. He is the author of the three-volume “Never Enough Treasure …”, in which he described the problems of the cult of relics. He was a famous and respected figure by his contemporaries and posterity. He died in 1658 and then strange things began to happen in the Dominican monastery.
Well, his body disappeared, and this gave rise to the belief that a pious monk was taken alive to heaven. According to an urban legend, extraordinary things happened in the Dominican Fathers’ church in the next 250 years. The organ was playing by itself, a shadow was drifting down the aisles. But the townspeople got used to the fact that the spirit of the Dominicans was saying masses.
But the time of the Russian partition came. The invaders organized barracks in the monastery of the Dominican Fathers. One night, one of the guards noticed a ghost, and ran away terrified. The other soldier was braver. When he fired a shotgun at the ghost, it suddenly hid in the wall. The soldier alerted his superiors, who ordered that this fragment of the wall to be dismantled. It turned out that there is a skeleton in the wall, with it the scapular and rosary of… Father Ruszel.
Many people suspected that the Dominicans decided to stage his assumption and thus give him virtue and fame. Meanwhile, the modest monk did not want to be equated with the Virgin Mary and wandered around the monastery to reveal the truth. This makes sense because after the remains were buried, no one ever saw the ghost again.

I first read this book over ten years ago, before I was a parent. From the adult child point-of-view, this book confirmed what I knew already, that my parents are top-notch! Now, I returned to this book as the parent of a 6-year-old daughter and 8-year-old son, and I found it a more challenging read.
How have I fulfilled the five elements of the blessing, an ancient practice of encouraging children to grow up into productive, responsible, loved adults? As you learn and apply the five principles of the book, you will find yourself feeling better about yourself and the people around you. I give this book my highest recommendation! Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in return for an unbiased review. Sep 11, Gordon Alley rated it really liked it. This is a great book for all relationships of life: for spouses, for parents to children, for children to parents, and for churches to its members.
The Blessing Giving the Gift of Unconditional Love and Acceptance by daviddrakehh - Issuu
Many children struggle through their lives as adults because they lacked the five key elements of the blessing. These elements are meaningful touch, spoken words, expressing high-value, picturing a special future, and active co This is a great book for all relationships of life: for spouses, for parents to children, for children to parents, and for churches to its members.
These elements are meaningful touch, spoken words, expressing high-value, picturing a special future, and active commitment. I highly recommend this book especially for those seeking the closeness in the relationships that God has called us to share in life. Apr 30, Lisa Beth Hutchins rated it really liked it Shelves: nonfiction. This is a great book. It gave me concrete suggestions to make sure my children know they have my blessing and admonished me to change some of the parenting habits I have now.
It also gave me insight into the hearts of people I love who have never and never will received their parents blessings and ideas for ways to bless them. I was also encouraged to make blessing my spouse a fixture in our marriage and I am excited about planning evenings of blessing for both him and our children!

The Blessing: Giving the Gift of Unconditional Love and Acceptance
I really liked the overall premise of loving your kids well, but I felt like the theological premise was a bit shaky although the author did acknowledge that a blessing like Isaac gave Jacob was prophetic, unlike a parent today would give their child, the idea of the book is to give an Isaac-like blessing to your kids. I also thought the five elements of the blessing which partially echo the five love languages could be condensed into three ideas: a lifelong co Simply Put, Love Your Kids!
I also thought the five elements of the blessing which partially echo the five love languages could be condensed into three ideas: a lifelong commitment of loving touch and words. Also, the book really emphasized the idea of having a blessing event, where a parent would bless their children with a special written or spoken blessing; I would think a lifestyle which they do discuss but in a secondary manner that aims for frequent loving touch and words would have a greater effect on a child than one event. Finally, perhaps I missed this recommendation in the book or it was mentioned so briefly I have forgotten about it, but I would think one of the best and most effective ways to bless your children is to pray with and for them out loud every night.
See a Problem?
Not only would it meet the author's criteria for the five elements of the blessing, prayer is truly the most important way to bless your children. The Blessing is about giving the life-changing gift of unconditional love and acceptance to our children that will shape their deep sense of self-worth and emotional well-being.
Through these five biblically based essential elements:- meaningful touch, spoken message, attaching high value, picturing a special future, an active commitment , we can instill in our children a godly perspective on building healthy relationships that will not only impact them but for generations to come. This revised a The Blessing is about giving the life-changing gift of unconditional love and acceptance to our children that will shape their deep sense of self-worth and emotional well-being.
This revised and updated edition is jam-packed with helpful links, discussions, questions, online videos for each chapter and also an invitation to take The Blessing challenge on their website. I highly recommend this book not only to parents but to everyone as it is applicable to all relationships of life - children, grandparents, siblings, church members, etc. Jul 22, Russ rated it it was amazing. A great book - version that reminds us of the needs of God's children to receive blessings in their lives.
The focus of the book is on children and how as adults you can give them the blessings that they cherish so much, but also is about blessing others, including your spouse, parents, church family, etc. I think it would be great if we all practiced this - empowering us to give this blessing to others, even if you don't feel like you have received it yourself. But a large part is in for A great book - version that reminds us of the needs of God's children to receive blessings in their lives.
But a large part is in forgiveness to be able to receive the blessing for you as well.

Nov 18, Diane Stephenson rated it it was amazing. An excellent book for anyone, but especially for those who have not received the father's blessing from their own father for whatever reason. I purchased copies to give as Christmas gifts to new parents so they can begin now to bestow that blessing on their children. For those who still need the father's blessing, the authors show how to receive it even if the parents have already died. It explains a lot about why some people act as they do because that blessing is missing and they can't get on An excellent book for anyone, but especially for those who have not received the father's blessing from their own father for whatever reason.
It explains a lot about why some people act as they do because that blessing is missing and they can't get on with their lives in a meaningful or successful manner without it. I would highly recommend this book. Excellent reminder to bless those we love with intentionality Writing out a blessing for each of my children is a priority for me now!

The authors then document the devastating impacts of when blessing is withheld from children, the obstacles to blessing in some households such as children of divorce and death or desertion and how to overcome obstacles to provide blessing. Trent and Smalley conclude their text by providing examples of the ultimate blessing expert in action, Jesus. Over 15 years ago my grandmother sent me a letter while I was in college. In that letter she told me of her pride in me and how special I was.
Additionally, she spoke about the future she expected I would have. A few years later, she passed away. It was one of the last significant interactions I had ever had with my grandmother, with who I was very close. Throughout her life my grandmother with me applied some the elements of blessing in our interactions. And this letter served as the capstone to that blessing. Today, the letter is framed and sits in a place of honor in my home office.

Twelve Bars That Died For Our Sins
C.R. recently opined that the "African Diaspora aesthetics of sound...breathed life into hackneyed and stagnating forms." There's a story hidden in there about form and blowing and it has to do with the blues.
A Rough History.
Pentatonic (5-note) scales seem to be among the first musical discoveries made by every culture. Ancient cultures organized their reeds, made their flutes and tuned their stringed instruments to play them. Getting from note to note was always a local issue, although, of course, there were commonalities. Flatting the third and the fifth was widespread and this scale and these inflexions infused the music brought to the US with slavery. Once here, it was reproduced vocally, on banjos and then on brass. Its identity was as a raw and expressive medium of story-telling. It was simple in structure, especially in comparison to Ragtime, which took some ideas from the blues, but introduced more formal compositional elements.
I've always found calling W.C.Handy "Father of the Blues" a little weird. His compositions, including the Memphis, Beale Street, and St. Louis Blues, had bluesy elements, but were elaborately constructed-much more ragtime/blues hybrids. In fact, I think of him as part of a professional music crowd that sidetracked and temporarily hijacked the blues in the first 20 years of the century. The idea seemed to be to make it more sophisticated, while sneaking in just a little bit o' the other (nudge, nudge). The word 'blues' was used in many tune titles in the teens, but the recorded evidence-Chinese Blues, Ghost of the Terrible Blues, etc.-would not prepare you for what happened in the 1920's, when recordings finally revealed the soul of the blues.
What seems to have happened was the buying power of African-Americans became sufficiently established that the actual needs of that community began to be met by the recording industry. Ma Rainey, Ida Cox, Alberta Hunter had all been on the road for many years singing the blues and all went unrecorded until the 1920's. Mamie Smith was in the right place at the right time and had the honor of starting an explosion.
Unlike the ill-fitting forms that attempted to defuse it, the form that the blues really needed in order to tell its story became available in recordings. This form found a deep place in American culture and still does.

About the Journal
Artificial Intelligence Theory and Applications (AITA) provides coverage of the most significant work on principles of artificial intelligence, broadly interpreted. The scope of research we cover encompasses contributions of lasting value to any area of artificial intelligence. To be accepted, a paper must be judged to be truly outstanding in its field. AITA is interested in work in core artificial intelligence and at the boundaries, both the boundaries of sub-disciplines of artificial intelligence and the boundaries between artificial intelligence and other fields.
The best indicator of the scope of the journal is provided by the areas covered by its Editorial Board in theoretical (artificial intelligence and computing methodologies) and practical (artificial intelligence applications and applied computing) ways. These areas change from time to time, as the field evolves.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen. "Strong AI" is usually labelled as artificial general intelligence (AGI) while attempts to emulate 'natural' intelligence have been called artificial biological intelligence (ABI). Leading AI textbooks define the field as the study of "intelligent agents": any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of successfully achieving its goals. Colloquially, the term "artificial intelligence" is often used to describe machines that mimic "cognitive" functions that humans associate with the human mind, such as "learning" and "problem solving".

AITA welcomes research articles from scientists, research scholars and practitioners involved in artificial intelligence and all other related functional areas from all over the world to publish high quality and refereed articles. Research articles are usually between five and twenty pages and are complete descriptions of current original research findings.
Review articles describe the state of the art in specific fields or functions of artificial intelligence, while there are shorter critical assessments of particular AI techniques. Review articles do not cover original research but rather accumulate the results of many different on a particular topic into a coherent narrative about the state of the art in that field.
Short reports on developments in artificial intelligence and related areas, including the latest research results and applications. AITA short reports cover research notes and communications. Research notes are short descriptions of current research findings that are considered less urgent than communications. Communications are short descriptions of important current research findings that are usually fast-tracked for immediate publication because they are considered urgent.

Article Processing Charges Policy: Artificial Intelligence Theory and Applications is an open-access journal that does not charge authors article processing charges, submission fees, or any other kind of fee.
Ethics Policy: The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed journal is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behaviour for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the author, the journal editor, the peer reviewer, the publisher and the society of society-owned or sponsored journals.
Publisher’s Responsibilities: The AITA is committed to the highest ethical and transparent publishing principles and guarantees full integrity and professionalism in all its editorial processes. AITA endorses the Code of Conduct established by the SFU Academic Integrity and has a zero-tolerance policy regarding plagiarism, fraudulent publication and scientific misconduct. To verify the originality of all work, all submissions are screened by section editors before being sent out for peer review. All cases of alleged unethical behaviour are taken very seriously by the publisher and an investigation will be initiated in consultation with the authors, editors and/or peer-reviewers, as appropriate. In cases of proven misconduct the publisher, in collaboration with the editors, will take all appropriate measures to amend the situation, and is always willing to publish corrections, clarifications, retractions, and apologies when needed. Below is a set of guidelines the AITA adheres to:
- All communication among the editorial team and between editors and peer reviewers and authors will take place in a clear, respectful, timely and transparent manner.
- Section Editors are the primary contact between the author and the editorial team. If copyeditors, proofreaders, or layout editors have questions for the author during the production of an article, these should be directed to the Section Editor. This minimizes confusion and miscommunication with the author.
- Members of the editorial team who wish to submit a paper to the journal will submit it directly to the Editor-in-Chief. The Editor-in-Chief will anonymize the paper and direct it through the publication process. Section Editors and/or peer reviewers will determine whether or not to accept the paper. Section Editors may not submit a paper to their own section.
- The Editor-in-Chief will remain neutral and treat all possible breaches of this Code confidentially. The Editor-in-Chief will take action against any individual(s) who do not adhere to the Code of Ethics. This may result in declining a manuscript or dismissing a peer reviewer or editor of their duties.
- Appeals may be directed to the Editorial Board for resolution.
- In the event of a dispute involving the Editor-in-Chief, the matter will be directed to the Editorial Board for resolution.
Code of Ethics for Authors:
- Authors will conduct their research in line with the best practices and regulations of their professional bodies and home institutions.
- The authors will declare any conflicts of interest.
- All authors must be named on the manuscript, and in the order in which they would like to be acknowledged, at the point of submission.

- The publication has been approved by all co-authors and responsible authorities at the organization where the work has been carried out.

All submitted articles to the Artificial Intelligence Theory and Applications are to undergo a double-blind peer-review process. Our review board made up of 10 experts, attempts to reflect the goal of this journal which is to bridge the gap between academics and practitioners in the fields of intelligence and security. Our review board is comprised of experts who sit within both fields of academics and practitioners. Articles that undergo review are submitted to one academic and one practitioner, ensuring both perspectives are considered. Thereafter if both are approved it will move forward with editing, otherwise, the process will repeat again.


Erika Ehren works in education and writes on pregnancy and parenting. She has also just published her first young adult novel. She and her family live in New York.
Browsing the themed tables at local bookstores, you may have noticed that the young adult books are living in a segregated world where sports, spies, and science fiction populate the boys’ section, and a sea of pink and purple covered books represent what girls should be reading. If you could weed out the superficial fluff, you’d find some winners with major cross-over appeal. But are kids willing to dip into the other pile? As a middle school teacher, I’ve found that my girls are happy to read a novel with a male protagonist, as long as the story rings true on some level. My boys, however, are very reluctant to pick up a book centered on a female character, which isn’t at all surprising. It’s something I’ve taken into account when purchasing titles for my classroom library and recommending books for my students. While my collection is varied, my shelves are well-stocked with boy-focused, yet highly relatable coming-of-age stories in settings kids recognize. The universal underpinnings of these modern-day classics make them equally as appealing to girls as boys.
Slake’s Limbo by Felice Holman
This gem of a novel follows a runaway teen seeking solace in New York City’s maze-like subway system. A survival story at its core, Slake exhibits ingenuity, street-smarts, and an emotional maturation that serves him well over the course of the book.
Freak the Mighty by Rodman Philbrick
You are sure to shed a tear or two reading this touching, sweet, and often funny adventure story about unlikely friends who team up to become a single superhero of sorts. The sometimes serious tone is lightened by the magical quests these two embark upon.
Holes by Louis Sachar
Curses, legends, and lore – oh my! This celebrated book masterfully weaves tales of Stanley’s plight at Camp Green Lake digging holes as punishment for a crime he didn’t commit with flashbacks to events that set his family’s perpetual bad luck in motion. The ending’s so good, you’ll cheer.
The Revealers by Doug Wilhelm
Fast becoming a middle grades must-read, this book follows fed-up, yet earnest students who attempt to blow the lid off the growing bullying problem at their school. They soon discover that the troubles are more widespread than anyone realized. These honest illustrations of harassment and cruelty hit home for a lot of children, and will be a real eye-opener for parents. It’s an important book, and one that you might want to read together.
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
In this action-packed, emotional read, the lives of rival gangs spin out of control after the events of one tragic evening. It forces one to ask important questions about loyalty, family, self-respect, and how far a person should go to stand their ground.
A Separate Peace by John Knowles
Set in a New England prep school in the 1940s, this novel delves into the complicated nature of friendship and the inner-workings of the teen-aged mind. Jealousy and unspoken emotions alter the lives of two best friends, one of whom will bear the burden of a life-long regret.
The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 ¾ by Sue Townsend
This hilarious British import has garnered acclaim for decades – with good reason. Adrian’s delightfully immature, yet wise beyond his years opinions on love, friendship, and everything in between will have you sneaking back into this secret diary for years to come.
The Pigman by Paul Zindel
Though the slang might be outdated, this book never goes out of style. Two teenagers befriend an elderly man as part of a prank, but before long a true friendship has bloomed. Regrettably, the teens betray his trust, and shortly after, tragedy strikes. Will they ever get the chance to make amends?
Erika Ehren’s fun debut novel, Dirty, Loud, Crowded follows a high school boy blogging his way through one crazy year in New York City. He learns to love his new city by getting a life. For more information, visit https://www.facebook.com/DirtyLoudCrowded.

In addition to acting, Jessica is also a writer.
Her first book, Luna and The Magical Night Lights, inspired by the vinyl art toy of the same name, is a collaboration with The Bots, 64 Colors, and UVD Toys.
Built within a beautiful universe that is masterfully illustrated by 64 Colors, Luna and the Magical Night Lights is more than just a children’s book, it is an art book for kids and collectors alike. With a story that deals with life, death, and celebration from one end of the world to the other, it answers some of the biggest mysteries of Luna while still building an even deeper mythos to be explored.
Jessica also wrote and directed the original short film Where You Lie, which is now in post-production.
She is currently working on the screenplay for her first feature film, The Cockroach Queen.


[Theaterfacultystaff] Agenda 11.9.11
wochna at ohio.edu
Wed Nov 9 10:23:01 EST 2011
Barb et al,
2cents from the library - just ideas from my brain
1. Dramaturgs meet with me (or other appropriate librarian) to discuss further research on the play they are turging
2. Library will do a presentation on each show (as long as you are using our resources in some way, and that does include humans)
3. Can I come to any of your meetings to hear about how schools are merging, as I work with IARTS, FILM and THEATRE
4. I want the library to highlight the ARTS more or I should say collaborate more often - I want you on the map, I want the library on the map.
5. Sure would be great to work at least 1 or 2 times with upper level classes or faculty just to make sure all the library resources are being discovered

Indigenous knowledge and health care practices among the santal communities: A case study of Mayurbhanj district of Odisha
Dr. Krupasindh Nayak, Debaki Naik
The tribal communities have a vast repository of Indigenous knowledge reflected in their everyday aspects of life and living. Indigenous knowledge has been referred as the unique, traditional, local knowledge existing within and developed around the specific conditions to men and women indigenous to particular geographic area. This knowledge system is transferred across generation through oral traditions, processes and practices. Importance of good health has been well recognized over time. But many times a section of our society suffer from ill health and do not have much access to health facilities in remote areas of our state. Ill health and illiteracy are few root causes of poverty in India and also Odisha where tribal communities and dalit live in sizeable number. Conceptually in common parlance health means absence of morbidity for pathological conditions in body or mind and ability to function as a normal human being. The life and livelihood of tribal people in Odisha is sustainably influenced by the geo-physical structure they live in.This paper outlines an attempt to study indigenous knowledge related to medicinal practices among the Santal community of Mayurbhanj district of Odisha. The paper presents findings from an exploration of different indigenous methods of diagnosis and treatment of diseases, identification of specific plants used in medicine and cure of diseases and to document their perception of illness and disease by probing through their system of disease classification. The study is also intended to assess the general health condition of the Santal tribal in Odisha.

Back in 1995, our producer was asked to research the songs that the Gumm family had sung. Soon a list of 10 songs became 100!
This information was printed in a short phamphlet called "Musical Memories" still available at the Judy Garland
Birthplace (see Links).
In June of 1997, "An Afternoon with the Gumm Family in 1925" (living history
program) was presented in the actual home where the Gumms had lived in Grand Rapids, Minnesota with some of these songs.
Attendees included Judy's husband, Sid Luft, and her son, Joe Luft, as well as The Munchkins, Gumm cousins and many, many
Over time, it seemed like it would be a good idea to record some of these wonderful songs for posterity.
Thus was born our vaudevillian CD.
An Afternoon with the Gumm Family, 1925
(1997) Alycia Perroto, Carissa Farina, Michelle Russell and Michelle Risse as
Jimmie, Baby, Ethel and Janey Gumm
IN SEPTEMBER OF 2001, a trip was taken to Frank Gumm's hometown, Murfreesboro,
Tennessee. Check our historic sites page for photos.
IN THE WORKS: An amazing biography of
the Gumm Family with information never before revealed and personal family photos. This amazing saga promises
to be a best-seller, so be on the look-out for it sometime in 2006!

- About Us
Organized in December 1984, our aim is to promote, on a non-profit basis, the study of alpine plants, related hardy perennials and the creation of rock gardens and suitable habitats for all hardy plants. We encourage an exchange of ideas and activities with related plant societies and promote and support the planting and care of rock and hardy plants in botanic and other public gardens. Membership varies between 400-500/year and includes individuals from across Canada, many parts of the United States and overseas.
We usually meet on the second Sunday of the month at the Toronto Botanical Garden at the SW corner of Leslie and Lawrence, Toronto. Speakers are selected from internationally know experts as well as local members. Our speakers begin at 1:30 PM and usually illustrate their talks by computer generated pictures. Subjects include landscaping techniques, site locations for rock garden and hardy plants, plant selection and the occasional travelogue. Coffee break is followed by a short program called "Members' Showcase' and the occassional auction.
In the spring and fall we have several seedling and plant sales. There are a great number of unusual and choice plants available at very reasonable prices. Many plants would never be found in commercial nurseries.
Each year we operate a seed exchange. Our members collect seed in their own gardens as well as on botanizing trips. Some members go on trips to different corners of the world and wild collected seed will come not only from the mountains of North America, but also from Europe, Asia Minor, Central Asia and points further East. Up to 60 packets may be obtained by each member at a nominal cost, chosen from a list of more than 1,000 selections.
We publish our ten-page Journal ten times a year. The articles may be about a particular genus of plants, write-ups of our speakers' talks, descriptions of gardens, book reviews and correspondence. The articles are illustrated by drawings or photographs.
In the summer we have garden tours and occasional picnics at the gardens of various members.
Our Handbook is published in the spring and it contains a list of all members, the calendar of events, a list of books in our library, a list of members' gardens open for visits and some sources for plants and seeds.
We have a considerable collection of books in our library, which may be borrowed by our members. As well, newsletters from other chapters of NARGS are available.

Really Decent Books


Chase Strangio discusses his work as a leading LGBTQ legal advocate with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), including his representation of and connection to well-known former political prisoner and trans woman Chelsea Manning. Strangio reflects on the rise of anti-trans legislation nationally, the missteps of the LGBTQ rights movement, and the limits and role of legal advocacy in social movements. As well, Strangio recounts their own growing up, politicization and radicalization, and his prior work with the Sylvia Rivera Law Project (SRLP).
NYPL's Community Oral History Project is teaming up with the NYC Trans Oral History Project to collect, preserve, and share oral histories from our city's transgender and gender non-conforming communities.
We'll be training a community corps of interviewers to collect these largely undocumented oral histories in order to build a lasting and expansive archive on NYC transgender experiences.
About the NYC Trans Oral History Project:
We are a collective, community archive working to document transgender resistance and resilience in New York City. We work to confront the erasure of trans lives and to record diverse histories of gender as intersecting with race and racism, poverty, dis/ability, aging, housing migration, sexism, and the AIDS crisis.
We are inspired by the public history activism of the ACT UP oral history project to build knowledge as a part of our anti-oppression work. We believe oral history is a powerful part of social justice work, and that building an alternative archive of transgender histories can transform our organizing for transgender liberation.
You can listen to interviews, search interviews tags (like #genderfluidity #self-knowledge #gentrification and #queerfamily), and soon read transcripts. We hope the interviews and tags will preserve and proliferate new knowledges about trans and gender non-conforming experiences.
Content warning: Many of the interviews here include personal accounts of violence, sexual assault, abuse as children, or trauma.


Our organization strives to strengthen our children’s education and development through a collaborative effort of parents, educators, and the community. The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) plans and sponsors numerous activities throughout the year. Through our fundraising and service efforts, we support projects that benefit our students. New this year, we will be accepting cash donations alongside volunteer efforts. Donations are tax deductible as the Roland-Story PTO is an exempt organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
During the 2015-2016 school year, PTO allocated over $35,000 to the elementary and middle school, fulfilling requests for the following items: microscopes, field trips, Phonemic Awareness, reading comprehension aides, Therapy Balls, math puzzles, books, pencil sharpeners, and classroom supplies.
The Scholastic Book Fair was a great success! The Book Fair raised over $2,500 in Scholastic dollars to purchase books for the Elementary School. Thank you to all who purchased books or volunteered their time to ensure the book fair was up and running smoothly.
Also a huge thanks is extended to all those who volunteered their time and resources to provide suppers for all our wonderful teachers during conference time. It was very much appreciated!
