It’s winter in the villager and the bodies are stacking up in this third Whispering Pines omnibus edition.
Silent Secrets: A Whispering Pines Mystery, Book Seven
When a brawl breaks out at the local pub during the Thanksgiving gathering, a patron is critically wounded. Jayne thinks the suspect is one of the vigilantes who came to save the village from “that lady sheriff who doesn’t know her job.” Although, it could be someone from the growing group of villagers who aren’t happy with their sheriff’s performance. The one thing Jayne knows for sure is if she doesn’t get a handle on things, it could be time for her to turn in her badge.
Merciful Secrets: A Whispering Pines Mystery, Book Eight
Preparations for the Yuletide festival are in full swing, and so is the gossip about a blackmailing villager. Just as Jayne thinks everything is under control, the blackmailer is found dead. Adding more fear to what should be a joyous time of year, strange packages start showing up around the village, each containing a clue as to how the receiver will die. Now, Jayne has to decide if she should focus on a murder that’s already happened or attempt to prevent six more.
Justified Secrets: A Whispering Pines Mystery, Book Nine
As everyone settles in to ride out a monster blizzard, a stranger covered in bruises and mumbling about a car crash limps into the village. Braving the storm, Jayne searches for the crash and any other victims still out there. Then an elderly villager goes missing in the storm. She can handle the rescues, but when a ghost from her past appears at the B&B and tries to uncover her long-buried secrets, Jayne may have reached her breaking point.
What readers are saying:
“I’ve read them all and just want to go back.”
“I wish Whispering Pines was a real place”
“If you enjoy honest, rather raw characters seeking direction, and the consequences of past mistakes, you’ll enjoy this series as much as I have.”
“My mind is still in Whispering Pines. I can clearly see the thatched roof houses, their wood and stucco exteriors. It reminds me of Shakespeare’s house in London.”
“I really enjoy how the characters continue to evolve in this series and the new eccentrics fit right in!”
“I totally fell in love with both the village and the story.”
“I would gladly plan my next trip to Whispering Pines.”

Inside, you’ll find seven stories by me, Jenn Ashworth, Tom Fletcher, Richard Hirst, Alison Moore, M. John Harrison and Johnny Mains. Fagsmoke, pylons, barges and evacuees all play a part. The book is fully – and stunningly – illustrated by Beth Ward. It’s a beautifully printed and bound, limited-edition run of 500 (no ebook) and every copy will be signed and posted out with care and love. We’re dead proud of it. You can buy it here – and many thanks if you do. If you’d like to hear the stories live, we’re doing a mini tour across the North this December and January. Come along and have a mulled wine and good scare. We’ll also be chatting at the events about the process of self-publishing and working together as a collective. You can find more details about the events here. The launch is at the John Rylands Library in Manchester on Thursday 18th. Hope to see you.


From the inside Jacket
From the magical moonlit garden of Gavin Harrison’s early years in South Africa, to the evocative intersection of his life with the glorious poetry of Hafiz in Iran, and on through his years of meditation, service and healing, Petals and Blood evidences a life lived fully, even amidst great struggle. Harrison grew up gay and privileged in a deeply divided and intolerant country. He has found peace within a legacy of pervasive sexual abuse and has lived with HIV for over half his life. He, his poems and his stories all overflow with a joy that is uplifting and contagious.
With fierce courage, intimacy and candor, Harrison conveys the terror, rapture and wonder of awakening to Divine Love. His poems summon us to the depths of who we all truly are: the mysterious pre-existing Ground of Love, Kindness, Wisdom and Presence that is neither personal nor ever lacking. The poetry evidences Harrison’s abiding commitment to be deeply free in this lifetime. The union of dharma, poems, stories and images celebrate a Liberation that is unconditional and also deeply human.
Petals and Blood weaves ecstatic poetry with stories drawn from the poet’s stark, vulnerable and adventurous life. Defying apartheid… helping orphaned children in Africa… realizing Oneness with murderers in a maximum security prison… uniting with The Infinite at the threshold of death… making peace with illness and betrayal… offering prayers to the Goddess Pele in Hawai’i… and his devotion to Mother Africa… The stories and poems remind us that our Essential Nature remains unsullied and untouched by whatever may befall us, no matter how unfortunate the circumstances of our lives may appear to be.
Petals and Blood challenges us to stand by our core, no matter what. Its stories and poems urge us to live from the ground of our deepest knowing, while serving all sentient beings everywhere. They beckon us to be in abiding fidelity to the Truth, God, Love—what Harrison calls “The Beloved.”

EILEEN MAYO | SARA COOPER
EILEEN MAYO (1906–94) was a dedicated and multi-talented artist – at once a painter, print-maker, tapestry designer, engraver and illustrator, who also successfully turned her hand to wood-engraving, calligraphy, lithography and lino-cutting. Her role as an artist’s model – for Laura Knight, Dod Proctor and others – sparked a lifetime’s dedication to her work, which would in turn win international acclaim and lead to a successful career over many decades. Mayo was enraptured by the natural world she saw around her; the flora, fauna and people she encountered proved a constant source of inspiration, both in England in the 1930s to 1940s, and later in her adopted homelands of Australia and New Zealand. This book charts Mayo’s extraordinary oeuvre, introducing this all-but-forgotten name to a new generation, and celebrating the artistic legacy she left behind. The Modern Women Artists series The MODERN WOMEN ARTISTS series of collectable books reveals an alternative history of art, telling the story of important female artists whose art might otherwise be overlooked, overshadowed or forgotten. Working across a range of disciplines and artistic styles in the first half of the twentieth century, all of the women included in this series were modern. Read together, these books begin to redress the untold history of modern art.


ANNUAL IN AUTUMN
Posted on November 10, 2018
Opening the Saturday session of FOKO’s annual two-day board retreat, Mercy, a St. Clare graduate, spoke to the members via Skype. Sharing her experiences as a St. Clare pioneer, Mercy focused on the “early days” when there were no dormitories. As a result, the girls walked several miles daily to attend class. Food was eaten under the mango tree, as there was neither kitchen nor dining hall. Books were scarce and there was no library. It was wonderful for the board to hear first hand how life was initially and how FOKO and its donors have provided so much for St. Clare. Mercy expressed her gratitude over and over, speaking on behalf of all her younger sisters at St. Clare.

Why Astrology for Life Purpose Direction?
Not much is understood about the science of astrology in the culture of the West (even though the West has the science now to explain it); and bogus tabloid Sun Sign columns have not helped the profession’s struggle for legitimacy.
Regardless, my own innovative astrology system
has been my life’s work.
To understand the ‘Why’,
it is first necessary to understand the ‘What’…
Most astrologers in the West have no idea how astrology works! But my curious brain had to set about solving the riddle. (As a kid, I was always reading spy novels and watching detective shows on TV!) This research has taken me decades, and has necessarily involved the study and synthesis of a number of varied fields—some scientific, some metaphysical, and some philosophical.
I am currently writing a comprehensive book (due for publication in early 2018) to explain the science behind genuine astrology, in the hope that the general populace of the world can be educated regarding what astrology is, and what astrology can become. There are also other books in this series to support and explain further how astrology and consciousness are inextricably linked.
So please bear with me here for this very brief definition:
Personal Astrology uses a ‘screenshot’ of the Solar System and the Earth’s Field at the moment of your birth. (Western ‘Tropical’ Astrology does not use the distant galaxies and fixed star patterns as its Zodiac; though ancient Indian Vedic Astrology does.)
This screenshot is actually a representation of frequency patterns, defined using the ancient astrological language (some of which is still used by NASA today), which reveals a unique pattern of sympathetic harmonic resonance with your higher spiritual consciousness at birth, and which consequently ‘hard-wired’ your brain in that moment.An aside: The initial volume in my book series will elaborate on my exclusive research into the continuation of the mindstream after death—this will be a periodically free book in the digital versions only, scheduled for publication in 2018, and a later print book available online. To be alerted to publishing dates and early discounts for this and other books in the series, you can subscribe to stay connected with me via this button below, or the slide-up form that you may find when you reach the end of this page (it will only bother you once per visit!).
[maxbutton id=”11″ ]
As all thoughts—all phenomena of ‘mind’ (as energy) at all levels—emit particular frequencies, this screenshot of sympathetic harmonic resonance (being your birth-chart) contains the imprints of a significant past and your aspirations for this current life.
Only the Astrologer can interpret this ‘screenshot’.
The good people at NASA/JPL (who provide us with the data astrologers need), along with most other astronomers, cannot interpret this language, and this is where we part company.


Set in Mexico and California in the earlier part of the 19th century, Zorro is a masked superhero, who defends the common people from the evils of the rich and greedy landlords. The cruel governor of California, Don Rafel Montero captures Zorro, kills his wife and kidnaps his infant daughter, before fleeing to Spain. Twenty years later, Montero returns to California and meets Zorro, under unexpected circumstances. Here's a sneak peak of the first book, of a 4 part series. The books are available in Amazon.


Everyone loves a good book. Books have the power to make us travel without moving from our chair, make us feel emotions, they can even surprise us and teach us many things about this amazing world around us. We are in a time where we all need to become more aware of the environmental issues we are facing and learn how making small changes in our lives can make a huge difference.
If you are interested in learning more about sustainability, here's a list of the best books on this subject in case you need some ideas.
1.”The Sixth Extinction: An unnatural history” By Elisabeth Kolbert
In this book, the author explores how the burning of fossil fuels, the acidification of the oceans, pollution and deforestation is threatening all kinds life forms as well as the environment in general. We are in a historic moment in which the disappearance of species grows at an alarming rate, it is the sixth mass extinction, and in this case the human being is the agent of mass destruction. It is an essential book to understand ecology.
2.”The Planet of the Stupid” By Juan López de Uralde
The ex-director of Greenpeace Spain speaks to us in this book in a pleasant way of environmental movement in which he has been a part of and the alarming situation in which the planet is currently facing. With documented historical examples and his own memories and anecdotes, he deals with environmental issues such as climate change, water scarcity, the situation of the oceans, deforestation, genetically modified foods, etc. Its not all dooms day here, he also proposes possible ideas and solutions. Without a doubt, another mandatory book.
3.”The World Without Us” By Alan Weisman
This book tells us what would happen if humans disappeared today from the planet. What would be our legacy, how long it would take to decompose all our garbage, how long it would take the cities to reforest, and which objects would be immortalized as fossils. You will find this to be a strange and familiar world at the same time, but that will make you have another vision of the environment and of ecology.
4.”Silent Spring” By Rachel Carson
This work is considered as the first divulgative book about the environmental impact. Rachel Carson spoke in 1962 about how pesticides were affecting ecosystems of planet Earth. At that time it was labeled as fanciful, nowadays thanks to it the foundations were laid for the creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), it is considered one of the 20 most influential popular books in history.
5.”The Revenge of Gaia” By James Lovelock
The scientist James Lovelock, known for his Gaia hypothesis, raises the issue of climate change in this book and also proposes realistic solutions. He explains his view that climate change is inevitable at this point but that we are still in time to save our Planet.

- originally a pastoral, Semitic-speaking hill people who began settling in the region of northern Babylonia in the last years of the third millennium B.c. The city-dwelling Mesopotamians initially viewed the Amorites as odd and almost laughably primitive. The Amorites did not grow grains but rather raised sheep and goats; they had no cities, preferring a nomadic existence; they lived in tents rather than in houses; they wore animal skins rather than woven fabrics; and they ate most of their food raw. Whatever their social and cultural shortcomings, however, the Amorites vigorously moved onto Babylonian farmlands, which they used to graze their animals. Such Amorite intrusions are believed to be one of the causes of the downfall of the empire known as the Third Dynasty of Ur circa 2004 b.c. Thereafter, Amorites occupied various cities in the region. These cities included Larsa and eventually Babylon, where, in about 1894 b.c., an Amorite named Sumu-abum established the Babylonian dynasty that later produced the lawgiver Hammurabi.

There's nothing more comforting than curling up with a good book, and reading high-quality fiction with a Christian perspective can help you explore new spiritual viewpoints. Fortunately, there are many fantastic Christian authors to enjoy in your assisted living apartment in the Bethesda Gardens Phoenix community. Whether you're looking for light-hearted Christian comedy or want to get sucked into a classic, there should be a novel by the authors below to whet your appetite.
Madeleine L'Engle was born in 1918 and spent her formative years in New York. She was often cared for by the family's housekeeper, Mrs. Mary O'Connell. O'Connell instilled in the young Madeleine a strong sense of the presence of God. After earning her B.A. in English, L'Engle worked as a Broadway actress before marrying in 1946 and starting a family.
L'Engle had already enjoyed some literary success during her Broadway years, and she continued to juggle her work as a novelist alongside full-time motherhood and running the family's store. It was during this time that she began doubting her faith.
However, her belief in the divine was revitalized when she read the works of Albert Einstein and other eminent physicists, reminding her of a memorable moment when she gazed up at the vastness of the universe as a small child. Her abiding belief in the compatibility of faith and science is a recurring theme in many of her books, including her seminal work, A Wrinkle in Time.
Francine Rivers is one of the most prominent writers of Christian romantic fiction. Born in 1947, she studied English and journalism at the University of Nevada in Reno and then became a writer for a local newspaper. She was inspired to start writing historical fiction novels after being gifted several books in the genre by her mother-in-law.
Rivers' first novel was published in 1976, and she became a born-again Christian in 1986. Her growing relationship with God hailed a turning point in her work. Rivers struggled to reconcile her career as a romantic novelist with her faith, and she refocused her attention on studying scripture. This journey inspired her to write Redeeming Love, a faith-themed romantic novel based on the story of Hosea from the Bible.
The story follows the story of a sex worker called Angel who finds God and healing from her traumatic experiences through her relationship with Michael, a devoutly Christian farmer. Rivers' novel serves as a welcome reminder of the redeeming power of God's love, and she has since written numerous faith-based romances, series and children's books.
Penny Culliford is a scriptwriter and comic novelist from Kent in England. She's also a qualified teacher and recently earned her license as a lay reader in the Church of England. Culliford's dry British sense of humor infuses everything she writes, and her books are ideal light reading for a cozy evening on the couch.
Culliford is best known for her Theodora's Diary trilogy, which follows thirty-something Theodora Llewellyn as she navigates dating, marriage and chocolate cravings. Theodora's faith is one of the trilogy's central themes, and reviewers describe Theodora's Diary as akin to a Christian Bridget Jones. The books also offer rich, witty characterization and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. Fans of Culliford's entertaining writing style may also enjoy her mystery novel The Art of Standing Still, which combines archetypal British village life with some unexpected plot twists.
Clive Staples Lewis is arguably one of the best-known Christian authors of all time. Lewis was born in Belfast in 1898 and was called to serve in the First World War during his studies at Oxford University in England. After being wounded in battle, he returned to the U.K. and completed his studies, going on to write several renowned novels. Although Lewis was an atheist in his teens, he converted to Christianity as an adult and became a lay theologian.
Lewis is widely acknowledged as a highly influential advocate of Christianity, and he wrote several theological works. These include Mere Christianity, a 1952 text recognized for its importance in addressing religious skepticism by Christianity Today in the year 2000. Lewis's fictional works often deal with religious themes, including redemption and sin. His most acclaimed novels include the Narnia fantasy novels for children and his science-fiction Space Trilogy for adult readers. The Pilgrim's Regress is also an interesting read for anyone wanting to learn more about Lewis's experiences as a converted Christian.
Thomas Dexter Jakes was born in 1957 in Charleston, West Virginia. He is an ordained bishop and ministers at The Potter's House non-denominal megachurch in Dallas, Texas. You may recognize Jakes from his appearances on the popular TV shows Dr. Phil and Good Morning America. Alongside his work as a Christian minister, Jakes has produced numerous films and records through his production company TDJ Enterprises.
Jakes is also a prolific author of non-fiction religious books and several novels. His 2006 novel Not Easily Broken is perhaps the best-known of his fictional works and was turned into a feature film in 2009 starring Morris Chestnut, Taraji P. Henson and Kevin Hart. The novel examines the tests on a married couple's union after the wife becomes injured in a car accident. It expertly deals with the risks of temptation in marriage and the ultimate importance of honoring wedding vows.

Believe it or not, we don’t purchase many movies. One that warrants a place in our library is Persuasion, based on the Jane Austen novel of the same name. Starring Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds, this 1995 BBC / WGBH / Masterpiece Theatre is one of the best of the Jane Austen screen adaptations. One interesting item is the relatively few people involved in the production of the movie. You may be surprised at what a great film has been created by such a minimal cast & crew, at least by “modern” standards. Indeed, the credits roll by very quickly. A truly fabulous film produced by a lean crew.


Sometimes you can be lucky enough to find a book that changes you forever.
I’ve always been a huge reader – I love it. Although these days I do tend to read more non-fiction than fiction.
However one book in particular that has stayed with me since I read it is “Kafka on the shore” by Japanese author Haruki Murakami.
Some of the content was difficult to read at times (as in subject matter). However it was so completely different, and utterly fascinating, that it is impossible to forget.
It’s also the first book that I have read that heavily featured a particular piece of music.
Piano Trio, Op. 97 (Archduke) by Beethoven
After finishing the book I felt compelled to find this piece of music, and listen to it. And I am so glad I did. It immediately became my favourite piece of classical music.

Will Giles latest book ‘The Encyclopaedia of Exotic Plants For Temperate Climates’ published by ‘Timber Press’, is a massive tome which covers over 2,500 species and cultivars (and 500 plus photographs) that can be grown in the UK and the Pacific North-western coastal States of North America and of course any part of the world that has a temperate climate. It is a must for enthusiasts and gardeners giving soil requirements and minimum temperatures for all entries. With our ever-changing weather, especially with climate change in mind, this exiting book shows you what can be grown now and in the future.Buy the book here
Some Amazon reviews:
5.0 out of 5 stars the best book on exotic plants, 17 Feb 2008
At long last the world of exotic/architectural plants has a bible – and this is it. Will Giles’s latest book covers a large cross section of plants, including trees, shrubs, herbacous plants and an entertaining section entitled “houseplants outdoors”. Giles also includes plants which are valuable for their asthetic qualities but are far from exotic – some even native to the UK. Each plant has a fairly detailed entry detailing growing procedure and preferred climatic conditions, most also having a photograph. The author grows many of these plants in his own garden, so there’s a great deal of first hand experience in the text. To round it off there’s also a useful listing of suppliers and websites.
5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and beautiful, 10 Dec 2007
Really delighted with my copy. Clear straight forward horticultual advice on growing. Botanical names for identification. Beautiful photos that make it a good pick up and dip into. Great to clear away the winter blues as you dream of what exotics it is now possible to grow. Just fantastic for real and armchair gardeners alike.
5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Bible For Exotics !!, 5 Nov 2008
Being new to exotic gardening, this book has been invaluable to me.
I saw the author recently on a Channel 5 programme and he is extremley knowledgable on this subject and that shines through in this book. One thing i think that slightly lets it down is the lack of growing advice for the UK, other than that, it is a superb book to add to my collection and ive lost count of how many times ive had to go to the book to look a plant up. If you are a beginner (like myself) or an experienced exotic gardener, then this book is well worth the price tag.

How to Steal a Dog: A Lesson in Compassion.
As parents, we are constantly looking for that special “Summer Read for Kids” that will teach our children essential lessons. How to Steal a Dog is a book that will not disappoint in the lessons it has to offer.
Sadly, I remember working two jobs to support my kids, just like Georgina’s mom. I know what it’s like to go to bed hungry because there is only enough food to feed the children.
In addition, I remember how ugly the kids at school can be to the student who arrives in dirty, unkempt clothing. I was the one who took them to my house to find something clean they could wear.
Georgina has lost her father and her home. Her mother is doing her best to take care of the children, but living in a car isn’t working for Georgina. The family isn’t in trouble because they are lazy or bad. Circumstances can change in an instant. Our kids need to understand that before it’s too late. I can’t imagine another summer read for kids that does a better job of teaching compassion.
After reading this remarkable story, your children will be rewarded with a better understanding of poverty, truthfulness, compassion, and devotion.
HOW TO STEAL A DOG chosen by the NC Center for the Book as the 1 youth title to be on 2002 Great Reads from Great Places list for National Book Festival of the Library of Congress. Books chosen represents in some way its state’s literary heritage.
Summer Read for Kids: How to Steal a Dog
Half of me was thinking, Georgina, don’t do this. Stealing a dog is just plain wrong. The other half of me was thinking, Georgina, you’re in a bad fix, and you got to do whatever it takes to get yourself out of it.
Georgina Hayes is desperate. Since her father left and they were evicted from their apartment, her family has been living in their car. With her mama juggling two jobs and trying to make enough money to find a place to live, Georgina is stuck looking after her younger brother, Toby. And she has her heart set on improving their situation. When Georgina spots a missing-dog poster with a reward of five hundred dollars, the solution to all her problems suddenly seems within reach. All she has to do is “borrow” the right dog and its owners are sure to offer a reward. What happens next is the last thing she expected.
How to Steal a Dog is a 2008 Bank Street – Best Children’s Book of the Year. This title has Common Core connections.
Summer Read for Kids: What Others Are Saying on Amazon
“Will keep youngsters totally engaged. This novel’s gentle storytelling carries a theme of love and emphasizes what is really right in the world.” ―School Library Journal, Starred Review
“This is truly Georgina’s story, and to O’Connor’s great credit, it’s Georgina herself who figures out what’s right and does it. The myriad effects of homelessness and the realistic picture of moral quandary will surely generate discussion.” ―Booklist
“A suspenseful and achingly realistic story.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“O’Connor knows how to spin a touching story, and reading this novel is its own reward.” ―The Horn Book
“O’Connor once again smoothly balances challenging themes with her heroine’s strength and sense of humor.” ―Publishers Weekly

Abstract: Automation of network security systems has led to ever increasing complexity and opaqueness. Ceding command and control actions to systems that are fully or even partially unknown to administrators can lead to possibly catastrophic results. Theoretical abstract models can aid in gaining visibility and insight into the construction and operations of these systems. This paper will utilize the early command and control information systems model EATPUT to allow a better understanding of the stages and operation of a modern Security Incident Event Management (SIEM) system.

The Joeten-Kiyu Public Library (JKPL) is the Marianas’ information hub, preserving its cultural heritage and connecting people, libraries, and the government to the resources and tools they need to succeed. JKPL has been building a strong community since 1991 and continues to create programs, services, and events that promote literacy in the Marianas.
The annual Trunk or Treat community event is a great example of how JKPL has built collaborative partnerships with local stakeholders. At this event, organizations come together to network and provide positive outreach services that give back to our community. They share treats and goodies while advertising some of their products and services. While it’s not common practice in the Marianas to go door-to-door to trick-or-treat, this event is a positive, family-friendly alternative that brings much joy to the children.
We welcome the community to participate in selecting the winner of the People’s Choice Award for the Best Decorated Trunk Contest. This year we are excited to announce that the 4H Marianas, Chinese Association of Saipan, CNMI PSS Head Start/Early Head Start Program, Coca Cola Beverage Micronesia, Cubs Alpha Leo Club, IT&E, Insurance & Business Management Corporation, Joeten Motors, Lady Diann Torres Foundation, Marianas Pacific Distributors (MARPAC), Northern Marianas Humanities Council’s Motheread/Fatheread CNMI, Northern Marianas Technical Institute (NMTech), Office of Juvenile Probation/ Division of Youth Services (DYS), Office of Representative Corina Magofna, Priority Care Services, Senzoku Car Club, U.S. District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands, and Women’s Affairs Office, and the Office of the Governor will be decorating their trunks this Halloween. The winner wil receive a cash prize sponsored by Friends of the Joeten-Kiyu Public Library.
We didn’t expect the Trunk or Treat event to grow into something that our community looks forward to each year. Over the years, we’ve welcomed 3,000 to 5,000 families per event. During the pandemic, we pivoted and turned the Trunk or Treat into a Book-A-Treat, which was indoor trick or treating spread out over three days. We thank our many families for continuing to patronize the library and visit us during Halloween. These events are for you, and we hope you continue to visit your library not just during this festive occasion but throughout the year. There are many free resources that we encourage you to utilize year-round.
The library is able to carry out this event every year by actively partnering and reaching out to many community members to provide sponsorship, donations, and volunteers. This event could not have been possible without all of our partners’ involvement.
Preparing for the event by beautifying the library
In preparation for this event, we spruced up the library by painting the parking lot earlier this year thanks in large part to the Governor’s Council of Economic Advisors (GCEA). We participated in the GCEA’s Adopt-a-Median Program, which supports community-wide beautification efforts that foster community pride. We are grateful for these beautification efforts as our parking lot has been restored from years of wear and tear. We thank our JKPL staff, family, Friends of the Joeten-Kiyu Public Library, and the amazing staff of Pacifica Insurance Underwriters (PIU) who dedicated their time and efforts to clean and paint the two medians in front of the library and PIU.
The project also served as a great opportunity for Team JKPL to build teamwork amongst our staff and participate in healthy outdoor activities. We were all proud to have taken care of our environment, beautified the library for its patrons, and maintained the infrastructure of the building.
We’d like to thank our sponsors and donors who are supporting this event: the Saipan Mayor’s Office, Bridge Capital, LLC, CNMI Department of Corrections, CNMI Department of Public Safety, CTSI Logistics, D&Q Saipan Co., Ltd., Insurance and Business Management Corp, James Gebhard and family, Pacific Amusement, Inc., Joeten Motors, Marianas Geotech, Marianas High School JROTC, Marianas Visitor’s Authority, Michelle L. Sablan & Pete Sablan, Office of Senator Edith Deleon Guerrero, Saipan Mayor’s Office, Saipan Southern High School JROTC, and Western Sales Trading Company. To see a full list of all our partners, sponsors, and donors, you can visit cnmieconomy.com or check out our Joeten-Kiyu Public Library website www.cnmilib.org, Facebook, and Instagram page.
We wish you a safe, fun-filled Halloween!

This archive of live recordings of jazz music was recorded in the 1960′s in London clubs including Ronnie Scott’s, at their request, by Les Tomkins who, as a journalist and interviewer, has figured on the London jazz scene for many years. Gearbox Records is licensing selected items from this catalogue on the basis of its important cultural and heritage value.
The heritage is valuable and significant insofar as the live recordings are a true record of jazz performances by celebrated musicians and artists during the height of London’s jazz era. During the 1960s, British musicians were unable to travel to the US to perform with their American contemporaries due to a visa restriction enforced by the American Musicians’ Union. As such, London became a centre for jazz ensembles to congregate and perform without restrictions based on their nationality.
The heritage is valued by jazz listeners, musicologists, music historians, historians focused on London’s music venues. The heritage can and will be valued by young people for whom jazz is a new and unfamiliar genre of music. The British Library have provided a letter confirming the archive’s heritage value. The project will have outputs on tape, insofar as the archive tapes will be conserved, in digital format hosted by a number of sites including that of the British Library, and true-to-period vinyl records that will provide an authentic listening experience. The project includes a programme of heritage activities to facilitate public engagement with the heritage material.

San Marino: A Centennial History
Stands out as one of the very best. This history … unlike many city histories, exhibits a brilliant integration of text and imagery that adds significantly to understanding both the place and the people. The final feature of this publication that must be applauded is the layout and printing that brought together superb typographic and graphic design into a beautifully printed book that is easy to hold and read and enjoy.
Alan Jutzi, Avery Chief Curator, Rare Books Dept., Huntington Library
Beautiful book, very well done, great variety of illustration and design elements….Your front cover really pops! Gorgeous font choices, use of color, and placement of text…Lovely choice of image invites the viewer into the house as well as to open the book. Color contrast between the title and the sky is beautiful. Also, I love the French flaps!

Paul Kahan, PhD
California History, July, 2013
The illustrations follow the text and are on virtually every page of the book. Such a format brings history alive. Besides many black and white photographs, the illustrations throughout are in color or tinted in the original hue, putting the reader vicariously in touch with the original photograph, map or document.

Have you ever felt an instant connection with someone you've just met, as if you've known them forever? Or wandered into a new place and felt like you've been there in a dream? These experiences might be glimpses into the Akashic Records—a mystical concept that suggests all our thoughts, actions, and experiences are stored in an ethereal "database."
Think of this database like a magical library filled with stories from all your past lives. It's a special place that stores your history, what's happening now, and what might happen next—it's like a map of your soul's adventure. This magical bookshelf has secrets about your friendships, job, health, and inner spirit. If you learn how to read the Akashic Records, you can discover more about yourself, understand your life's reasons, and find the best way to live with meaning.
A reading from the Akashic Records can give you deep understanding and advice, helping you make sense of your life's experiences and uncovering hidden potentials. It's like getting a sneak peek into the universe's master plan for you. By connecting with your soul's history, you can find clarity, overcome obstacles, and align yourself with your true calling.
But what is the Akashic Records, exactly?
The term "Akashic" comes from an ancient Sanskrit word meaning "sky" or "space," symbolizing the idea that this knowledge exists in a vast, ethereal space.
These Records are an ancient concept found in Indian and Tibetan cultures, believed to contain all knowledge of the universe. They're said to hold information about everything that has happened and will happen.
In modern times, people like Helena Blavatsky and Edgar Cayce have brought attention to the Akashic Records. Blavatsky described them as a collection of mystical knowledge about the past, human lives, and the universe. Cayce, a well-known psychic, claimed to access the Records during altered states of consciousness.
According to believers, the Akashic Records contain every experience, thought, word, emotion, and action that has ever occurred. They're like a detailed record of everything that has happened in the past, present, and future. The Records are said to have existed since the universe began and hold information about every soul.
While science hasn't proven the existence of the Akashic Records, many spiritual seekers believe they can tap into this cosmic library to gain insights into life's purpose and soul development. Through meditation, divination, or psychic abilities, some claim to retrieve information about past lives, uncover new truths, and understand their soul's journey.
Benefits of Accessing Your Akashic Records
An Akashic Records reading can offer profound benefits, providing clarity, healing, and guidance for your life journey. Here are some key advantages of tapping into your Records:
The Reading Process
When you get an Akashic Records reading, the practitioner will guide you through a process to access your Records. Here's an overview of how a typical reading works:- The practitioner will likely have you take some deep breaths to relax and ground yourself. Clearing your mind as much as possible will make it easier to receive the messages and information.
- You may be asked to set an intention or have a particular question in mind that you want guidance on. This helps the practitioner know where to focus the reading.
Accessing the Records
- The practitioner will use a specific process, often involving meditation and prayer, to open your Records. Different practitioners use various techniques depending on their training.
- You may experience the practitioner taking on a bit of a "trance-like" state as they tune into the Records. Remain open and relaxed as they work.
Receiving the information
- The practitioner will relay the messages and information coming through from your Records. This may include past life memories, soul contracts, archetypal energy patterns, and more.
- You may be asked questions or to provide feedback during the reading. Feel free to ask questions as well, but allow the practitioner to remain focused.
- Take notes if you want to remember specifics later. The reading is often recorded so you can revisit it. Interpretation and discussion
- After the reading, the practitioner will discuss their interpretations of the information that came through. This is where the real value comes in.
- You'll have a chance to clarify anything that was unclear and understand how to apply the messages to your life.
- Be open to hearing truths that may challenge you. This is all part of your growth!
Overall, surrender to the process and don't overthink it! The reading provides you exactly what your soul needs in this moment.
Interpreting the Information
The practitioner accesses the Akashic Records through a meditative state, often using visualization, prayer, chanting, or other spiritual techniques to shift their consciousness. This allows them to energetically connect with the Records.
Once connected, the practitioner relies on their intuition and psychic senses to interpret the information coming through. There are a few different methods practitioners may use:
Clairvoyance - receiving intuitive visual images or symbols
Clairsentience - interpreting subtle feelings or body sensations
Clairaudience - hearing words, sounds, or messages
- Direct knowing - receiving intuitive insights or inner guidance
The reading provides an overview of key themes, lessons, blockages and gifts connected to the client's soul purpose. But ultimately, the client must reflect on the reading themselves to find meaning and integrate the guidance on a deeper level.

Finding a Practitioner
When searching for an Akashic Records reader, it's important to find someone experienced, ethical, and aligned with your personal beliefs. Here are some tips for selecting the right practitioner for you:
Qualities to Look For
- Extensive training and certification in Akashic Records work
- Testimonials and positive reviews from past clients
- Warm, compassionate presence and genuine desire to help others - Alignment with your personal spiritual/religious beliefs
Questions to Ask- How long have you been accessing the Akashic Records?
- What should I expect during a session?
- How do you handle the personal information you access?
Take your time finding the right Akashic Records reader for you. A good practitioner wants you to feel comfortable and empowered. Trust your gut instinct and don't feel pressured into working with someone who doesn't feel like the right fit. The more alignment you have with your reader, the deeper the insights and value of your reading will be.
How long does an Akashic Records reading usually take?
The length of an Akashic Records reading can vary depending on the reader and how much information comes through, but most sessions range from 1-2 hours. A first-time reading may take longer as the reader takes time to explain the process and share insights from the Records. Follow-up readings are often shorter.
Do I need to prepare in any special way for an Akashic Records reading?
There is no need for lengthy preparation before an Akashic reading. However, taking some time to center yourself, set an intention, and open your heart and mind can help you be more receptive. Avoid caffeinated beverages right before your session.
Will the reader share specific predictions about my future?
Readers do not share specific predictions, but may provide insights to help guide you on your path. The future is not set in stone, so no definitive predictions are given. The Records provide perspective to empower your own choices.
Is this reading like a psychic or tarot reading?
While there are some similarities, an Akashic reading relies on accessing the Records rather than any psychic or tarot tools. The focus is more on spiritual growth and understanding than predicting specific events. The insights come from your soul history rather than psychic energy.
How accurate or reliable is the information?
The reliability depends on the skill of the reader accessing the Records. Experienced, well-trained readers can provide incredibly helpful and accurate insights. However, the quality can vary, so it's important to vet your reader. Use your own intuition to determine if the information resonates.
Are there any risks associated with accessing the Akashic Records?
There are very few risks when working with an experienced, reputable reader. However, the Akashic Records contain all information, pleasant and unpleasant, so be prepared to face any truths that emerge. You may experience emotional releases or exhaustion after an intense session.
In conclusion, accessing your Akashic Records through a skilled practitioner can be a deeply transformative experience. This reading provides a wealth of information about your soul's purpose, karmic lessons, past lives, and spiritual journey. The insights gained can lead to greater clarity, healing, personal growth and soul evolution.
Some key points to remember about Akashic Records readings:
- They provide profound guidance from your soul itself, from a place of unconditional love.
You can gain clarity on any life issues, relationships, career paths, and personal struggles.
Releasing limiting beliefs, fears and traumas leads to spiritual growth.
You discover your soul’s strengths, talents and gifts to fulfill your life purpose.
Your soul’s perspective helps heal emotional wounds and find inner peace.

Max Library Machine is a collection of small programs that work together to build a video game environment. When compiled and configured, it forms a game engine that allows the internal topology of the Max Library Machine components to be changed easily through modding.
To get started with Max Library Machine, install the libraries on your machine.
Max as a Game Engine
Max Library Machine isn’t like a lot of game engines where it compiles with a closed library that is distributed with the game. Instead, Max is installed directly to your computer, and games reference Max as a library.
Max Library Machine is split into two parts - mxker, which is a special program that manages most of the game’s code, and an abstract implementation, which is a library that lets game developers write in their own environment and import mxker for use.
Because mxker is compatible with both Windows and Linux (and many other systems too!), Max can be installed on many machines. Because game developers use a wide variety of environments for developing their games, Max has abstract implementations which are libraries that allow developers to easily work with mxker. This allows for a high level of native cross-compatibility.
mxker is available completely open source and so can be migrated to a wide variety of environments, and many abstract implementations of Max Library Machine are also open source as well, which allows the game engine to be modified without changing the game itself.
mxker also allows for modules to be loaded dynamically at runtime. This allows for custom functionality to be added at runtime, and even completely modifying the presentation of the game. We plan on developing a wide range of accessibility and topology focused UI modules available for free for use with Max. Implementations can be developed for public or private purposes and can freely implement these modules.
All of these changes can be either applied globally to the entire machine, or just to specific Max-compatible titles. This means that Max creates an environment on your computer for Max-compatible games to work with, and that environment allows for high levels of customization of these games.
How Max Works
This is a basic overview of Max Library Machine’s basic functionality.
In most implementations of Max Library Machine, there are two main programs used to create the game.
- mxker - The core of the engine, which acts as a kernel for the game. It also loads modules dynamically, coordinating the interactions between modules to customize the output of the game.
- Abstract Implementation - An abstract pass-through library to mxker that allows developers to easily manage its resources in other environments.
These programs work together to form the game engine.
mxker is the main kernel of Max Library Machine and manages how the game environment stages and presents objects both to the game and the user. It communicates with the abstract implementation to allow other environments to direct the game’s functionality. In many cases it is compiled directly for your computer on installation.
Abstract implementations, like Max C#, are designed to communicate from mxker to the game’s external code. This way, developers can easily develop their own games directly in their own environment with Max without much advanced set up. These implementations are designed to have a small amount of
public members so most of the internals can be changed for custom builds.
While a default installation of mxker and its various implementation libraries is provided through the Max file system environment, these defaults can be overridden for each game, enabling custom mxker and library implementations for individual games.
Max Library Machine is open source and so all of the internal components can be modified as necessary. However, Max is natively built with strong modding capabilities that allow for high levels of extendability without changing the machine’s core.
Max is designed with a customizable hierarchy of resource management, allowing users to easily override game defaults for game assets natively, and add additional functionality such as color-blind support or additional captions. If resources aren’t located, it uses the Max installation as a default. Max can also load additional functionality through custom mxker modules.
Max Library Machine’s most powerful modding capabilities are through its ability to completely modify the user interface of any game built using Max. Max loads its UI topologies from modules loaded into mxker.
Most applications build their UI as part of a static pipeline of the application, another part being the core logic that controls the state of the application. This forces all user interaction to be constructed by the developer and enforced through the structure of the application. In certain cases, such as game developers working within a commercial game engine, this process is abstracted - not only are the developer’s choices enforced, but also the choices of the game engine’s developers as well.
Max is instead designed with a direct, intentional separation between the logic layer of the game and its user interface - using a messaging system to direct the creation of user interfaces. These interfaces are built through a user interface module interpreting these messages and transforming it into an interactable environment for the player. This transformation impacts both how a player interprets the game environment and how they respond to it. When an interaction is recorded, a message is sent back to the game and progresses its state.
This allows Max to enable multiple topologies for playing games and other software in an open source environment modular while still preserving privately produced and distributed commercial code. These topologies can be developed independently of individual games, applied to any Max compatible game and even have custom builds of these topologies for specific titles.


English Title :
Alchemy? Nope, It’s Called Item Synthesis
Japanese Title :
Renkinjutsu? iie, aitemugousei desu!
Author : 十一屋翠 / Juuichiya Sui
Artist : 赤井てら / AKAI Tera
Kako Mayama is a girl who likes playing fantasy games, especially alchemy-themed games because she likes to craft items in games.
One day, she died after saving an animal that was actually the pet of a goddess from another world.
The goddess gave Kako a chance to be reincarnated in another world in return for saving her pet. She would also give her the ability of her choice from a list if she accepted her offer.
Without hesitation, Kako accepted the offer and chose Alchemy ability from the listー No. To be exact, she wanted the Alchemy ability from the list, but because of some kind of careless mistake, she got Synthesis ability instead.
Kako was disappointed at first but then she realized the greatness of her ability.
Synthesis ability is kind of similar to Alchemy ability, but they have differences.
To make an item using Alchemy, you need to collect the required materials first, but to use Synthesis ability you only need multiple items to be combined together into a higher grade item.
When Kako realized the usefulness of her ability, she started to combine cheap items to create high-quality items and achieve a successful life.
After a while, she became completely addicted to her game-like ability. She kept creating extraordinary items one after another and making a sensation around the world.

It’s the last day of August, also known as Buwan ng Wika in the Philippines. I just want to share a bit of insight and appreciation of the Philippine literature.
I usually find Philippine literature or stories about the Philippines a bit dark or gloomy or tragic. Reading such books feels so real even though it is fiction, maybe because as a Filipino, it’s close to home. Narratives that seem constantly screaming “revolution” despite of the war that ended decades ago. But most of them believe that these “wars” will never cease. They will be forever part of our existence, of our survival as humanity which is sad I think, but those stories were simply a reflection of the reality that the country perennially facing.
Maybe it is where the authors find their creative energies flowing, in melancholy. One of the best works in the Philippine literature is Noli Me Tangere that were written during the Spanish occupation in the country. It was one of the worst times in the Philippine history where Filipinos were incessantly abused and when nationalism has not been “invented” yet. Though, the novel was brilliantly written that it enlightened the Filipinos and helped sparked the revolution towards freedom.
Embarrassingly, I have not yet read that many books written by Filipino authors, so I think I’m not very much qualified to write this insight. I’ve only read few and some were even obligatory as a part of school’s curriculum, like Ibong Adarna, Florante at Laura, Noli Me Tangere, El Filibusterismo, and The Last Time I Saw Mother. And some were spontaneous, such as Smaller and Smaller Circles, Dekada ’70, Banaag at Sikat. and Patron Saints of Nothing. They are all unforgettable stories that will let the reader see reality in a different perspective.
Perhaps the most notable thing about these books is how powerful the messages are. The authors were able to convey their words in a strong and passionate manner but in a artistic and perceptive way. Whenever I finished reading these books, it feels like I was punched in the gut and honestly, I feel scared. Nothing frightens me more than reality, because I know that the story I’ve read is just a fraction of the society I’m living in.
But that’s the thing. These rational fears are only temporary. They open your eyes in a much deeper sense and make you a little bit wiser than you were. Becoming aware of the happenings around you and discovering something more within you. Putting yourself into someone else’s shoes and seeing the world quite clearer with an objective mind. And feel more connected with your fellow countrymen.
This might be a biased opinion given that I’m a Filipino, quite as well promote local, as they say. I’m planning to read more books written by Filipino authors because I know that there are more genres that the Philippine literature has to offer other than political genre which was what I have mostly read. As much as possible, I’m also trying to read some that are culturally diverse such as the books in this list thus, my TBR list just got longer (😣too many books, so little time!). Regardless, I know that learning and discovering different cultures, especially the Filipino culture, is still a long way to go but something tells me that this journey will be worthwhile.
Thank you for reading!
Do you have a favorite book written by a Filipino author? What local (or anywhere in the world you’re from!) reads you’ve read this month?


The Toolbox for Sustainable City Living is a DIY guide for creating locally-based, ecologically sustainable communities in today's cities.
