A deeper look at Dahlov Ipcar: Works by the iconic Maine artist are on display at Fort Williams Park
Rachel Walls’ gallery space at Fort Williams is an ideal space to see Ipcar’s work. It’s an authentic Maine place, mired in history and the tough-nut truth of the fortressed coast. (Fortress ruins, after all, are places where the imaginations of young people run wild.) Walls’ sense of place and history, as well, is handled with a quiet sense of time that fits the ephemeral flashes of Ipcar’s work …

A related bright point is the new gallery Rachel Walls Fine Art in Cape Elizabeth. Walls specializes in Marguerite Zorach’s daughter, Dahlov Ipcar.
Sharing the story of the wondrous and much-loved Dahlov Ipcar
Two Maine authors who knew Dahlov Ipcar and wrote about her life and work will speak about the artist during upcoming talks at the Portland Public Library, where an exhibition of Ipcar’s illustrations for children’s books is on view through Dec. 23 in the Lewis Gallery.
Teaching as an Art Form: Discovering Stories of Learning at The Museum of Modern Art
… Take, for example, Dahlov Ipcar, the first woman (and, at the time, the youngest person) to have a solo exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition, curated by Victor D’Amico and Ipcar’s father, the artist William Zorach, opened in 1939 in the Young People’s Gallery.
Ipcar exhibit opens children's eyes to fine art
“A child raised without art is as surely deprived as a child raised without love,” the renowned Maine artist and children’s book author Dahlov Ipcar has said, how she felt about the importance of creativity in a child’s life.
More fall visual arts: Zorach-Ipcar
The year of Zorach-Ipcar continues into the fall, with exhibitions by Dahlov Ipcar in Cape Elizabeth, her mother, Marguerite Zorach, in Rockland and her father, William Zorach, at the Portland Museum of Art. Ipcar died at age 99 in February. Rachel Walls Fine Art at Fort Williams in Cape Elizabeth is showing “Dahlov Ipcar’s Century,” with a range of material …
Fort Williams Park to Show Dahlov Ipcar collection
One hundred works from the late Dahlov Ipcar’s personal collection will be on view for the public in a magnificent exhibit which opens Saturday, July 29, in an exciting new exhibition space on the grounds of Fort Williams Park.

The Georgetown resident was nationally renowned for her distinctly colorful paintings and children's books.
The Museum of Modern Art featured Dahlov Zorach Ipcar as the first solo show devoted to a female artist
Opened in 1939 in a gallery focused on education, the show was called “Creative Growth, Childhood to Maturity” and featured work made from the age of 3 to the age of 22 by Dahlov Zorach Ipcar.
Dahlov Ipcar, Visual Artist
Dahlov Ipcar is one of Maine’s most prolific painters, illustrators and children’s book authors. The artist has spent the bulk of her career painting out of her home in Georgetown, and at the age of 98 (she turns 99 in November) she muses over what it has meant to be a woman artist over the course of the past century.
Art Review: Dahlov Ipcar: New paintings and new perspectives
Frost Gully Gallery in Freeport, which has shown the painter's work for nearly five decades, features more than 50 works, including three made in 2015, when she painted with macular degeneration, that continue to demonstrate her brilliance.

New York Times' Book Review: Dahlov Ipcar’s ‘Black and White,’ and More
“Black and White” was first published in 1963, the year of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, and Ipcar has acknowledged her wish that her story might be read, in part, as an appeal for racial equality.
Marguerite Zorach, Dahlov Ipcar, & William Zorach
Samsøñ is proud to present an historic exhibition of works by the family of artists Marguerite Zorach, Dahlov Ipcar, & William Zorach, together in an exhibition for the 1st time.
Dahlov Ipcar: A Maine Treasure

On the occasion of Samsøn Projects of Boston honoring the work of Dahlov Ipcar and that of her parents, Marguerite and William Zorach, we talked with the artist about her career, her recent loss of sight, and her attempts to adapt painting practices.


Today I’m reviewing Sloane Miller’s book, “Allergic Girl” to coincide with her official book launch! I first became aware of this talented writer and devoted food allergy advocate a few years ago following my daughter’s nut allergy diagnosis. Over the years, I’ve followed Sloane’s terrific blog, Please Don’t Pass the Nuts, and have received a lot of comfort, advice and tips from her online chronicle of what it’s like to live with severe food allergies to many foods including tree nuts and fish.
When I heard that Sloane had a book coming out, I was thrilled to know that this topic is getting the attention it deserves and that she was contributing her voice in this way. Sloane’s approach towards living with food allergies has been inspirational to me and to so many others. Her book, “Allergic Girl: Adventures in Living Well with Food Allergies” is a wonderful resource, akin to having a friend guide you through the pitfalls of allergic living.
I have been privileged to correspond with Sloane over the years about various food allergy issues and she is always ready with great advice. And, hey, check out page 64-65—she was kind enough to include my input about families and food allergies.
One of the great things about "Allergic Girl" the book is that it outlines how to live without food allergies preventing you from what you want to do. I’ve found this so comforting because as a parent, that’s what I want for my daughter.
In “Allergic Girl: Adventures in Living Well with Food Allergies” Sloane discusses the medical aspects of food allergies but to my mind, she covers an equally important aspect: the social issues of food allergies. Her book discusses everything from how to get a safe dining out experience, to dealing with family members and friends, holidays and social events. She also covers previously un-discussed topics like dating with food allergies—yes, she goes there. And even though my child isn’t old enough to date (she’s 11—that time will be here, sooner than I probably think), it is helpful to hear from someone who has dealt successfully with the many challenges a food-allergic adult has to deal with.
Other topics covered include: How to find the best allergist and get a correct diagnosis; how to create positive relationships with family, friends and food; and how to build a safe environment wherever you are.
If you are a food-allergic adult, this is a must-read handbook for your life. If you are the parent or family member of an allergic child, “Allergic Girl” will give you both important resources and hope for the future. Warm, witty and knowledgeable, Sloane is a great food allergy advocate and I wish her all the success in the world with this book.
Thanks again to Sloane for hosting a book giveaway on this blog just recently! I hope you will all check out “Allergic Girl: Adventures in Living Well with Food Allergies,” now available on Amazon.com and in many bookstores.
FTC Note: I received a reviewer's copy of the book.

Causa Curiana – History and the Law
THE CAUSA CURIANA: SCAEVOLA, CRASSUS, and the LETTER of the LAW
By Lloyd A. Conway – Download this article
Seeing the law as a ‘living document,’ versus strict construction of the text, is not
new, nor is it, sui generis, an American phenomenon. America’s Founding Fathers
looked to the Roman Republic for guidance and inspiration; that Republic suffered a fatal
blow when it ceased to be a source to inspire republican sentiment in future generations.
This is the story of the beginning of that first Fall of Rome. Roman Law, as it has been
handed down to us, reached its final distillation in the Corpus Juris Civis and Digest of
Justinian, first published in 534, A.D. Therein was summarized the work of the Classical
jurists of the first three centuries of the Christian era. They in turn had drawn upon
sources dating to Republican times, which are now lost to us. These sources had their
own antecedents, stretching all the way back to the Decemvirs, Rome’s first lawgivers,
who set down the Twelve Tables in 451-450, BC. They had done this to end the
Secession of the Plebeians, whose demand was that the Law be written down, so that
everyone could know what it said.

Traction Avant Citroen - Car book Discover this magnificent work in honour of the legendary Citroen Traction. Very early on, Andre Citroen was driven by a desire to keep his company on the cutting edge. He decided to create an immensely innovative small car: the front-wheel-drive car, or the Traction Avant. The Traction was long the pride and joy of Citroen. From 1934 to 1957, over 700,000 models were constructed, and several generations of French people chose it in all its versions. In 2017, the Citroen Traction Avant celebrated 60 years since the end of production. The anniversary was an incredible chance to celebrate this timeless car with a beautiful book that includes 70 models photographed and discussed for the first time in meticulous detail. From veteran Traction fanatics to general car enthusiasts, all readers will be enchanted by this car that now makes up part of our national heritage. Packed with images of cars from private collections, both French and foreign, this work gives readers the chance to dive into over 300 unique, contemporary images, made exclusively for this book. The cars have been impeccably maintained in their original condition, or perfectly restored to bring back their original allure. The beautiful photographs were taken by Leonard de Serres and Rose Ayliffe in both large scale and close-up format. Over the course of the book, they showcase the design of the bodywork, paint colour, refined seats, and finish on the accessories. A historical introduction by Anne Bony on 1930s design helps readers understand the birth of the car in creative context. In stores from 19 April 2017.

31 Jul The Solar Bookshelf Classic Solar Guide Has Been Updated for the Urban Set
Back in 1983, the home solar-electric industry was still in its infancy. Photovoltaics were expensive, and therefore used mostly in remote industrial applications like shipping lane buoys, offshore drilling rigs and railroad signaling equipment. But droves of people inspired by The Mother Earth News and Organic Gardening had already headed to the woods for a simpler life, by desire joining those worldwide who had no electricity by circumstance. Reading by kerosene lamp is tough on the eyes, though, and solar electricity looked like a very promising solution. Problem was, not many people knew a whole lot about it, much less how to safely design and install home-scale PV systems.
Also in 1983, Joel Davidson and Richard Komp published “The Solar Electric Home” to an enthusiastic audience of both back-to-the-landers and worldwide aid groups thirsting for practical photovoltaic knowledge, distilled from real-world experience. Mr. Davidson had one of the first PV-powered homes in the U.S., and was already writing from long experience.
Now I have in my hands “The New Solar Electric Home, Third Edition,” co-authored by Mr. Davidson and Ms. Orner and published in 2008. This 471-page, heavily illustrated tome is still “The complete guide to photovoltaics for your home,” as the subtitle says, and includes the juiciest new developments in PV, such as grid-tied urban systems that have never seen a battery and maximum power-point tracking controllers that do amazing things by juggling volts and amperes.

The basic doctrine of Buddhism characteristically describes the importance of practices and experiences.
Buddhism was founded and recognized by Gautama Shiddhartha (the historical Buddha) who lived in India about twenty-five hundred years ago. The word “Buddha” literally means “one who has awakened to the truth” as well as the doctrines that are based on the teaching of one who had attained enlightenment. The basic doctrine of Buddhism describes how to be awakened to the truth of the universe and how to attain perfect enlightenment.
The content of this doctrine makes some religious experts say that Buddhism is not just a religion but also a philosophy. Others have also characterized Buddhism as a set of spiritual teachings and practices.The basic doctrine of Buddhism characteristically describes the importance of practices and experiences. The three guiding principals of this doctrine are the observance of the precepts, sitting in meditation and obtaining wisdom. In order to help people attain enlightenment (to become a Buddha), many scriptures were produced.
The “Twelve Causes”, “Four Noble Truths” and “Eightfold Path” are the some of the fundamental scriptures. More philosophical doctrines were added around the 1st century when Mahayana Buddhism was created.


Legendary Watergate reporter Bob Woodward is the latest to lift the lid on the inner workings of one of the most controversial governments in US history in Fear: Trump in the White House.
The book is broader in scope than Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury, which focused on the first six months of the Trump presidency. Woodward begins in the final months of the 2016 election campaign and takes us right through the first year of the administration to the early months of 2018.
He makes a conscious and admirable effort to keep the focus on policy, rather than dumping a Wolffian bucket of sludge on the President. He seeks to show in depth how decisions were arrived at in absence of a conventional Presidential guiding hand, something most insider accounts have neglected.
He quotes detailed conversations between White House advisors, provides significant amounts of background on policy going back to past administrations, and sets out the issues clearly. So-much-so it also serves as a quick guide to US foreign and economic policy.
As a result of this focus, there are fewer gossipy details about the President eating hamburgers in bed or paper in the Oval office. While the quotes that have made headlines are inevitably those about senior advisers’ presidential frustrations, or Trump’s lawyers clamouring to protect him in the Special Counsel investigation, it’s actually an incredibly fair book with a focus on the facts.
In many cases it’s clear that the narrative has come mainly from one or two key people (although, I’m sure, corroborated) which can make it seem like you’re getting one person’s version of events, particularly where people who have left the administration are obviously trying to paint themselves in a positive light. As in Wolff’s book, Steve Bannon is a key figure, but with the endless stream of staff departures since, there’s no shortage of ex-officials to have their say.
While it certainly addresses Trump’s failings, Woodward is at pains to be fair, even giving Trump the benefit of the doubt unduly at times. This is perhaps because he understands that he doesn’t need to exaggerate, and risk calling into question the legitimacy of his account, to make his case.
He’s also not afraid to present Trump’s actions in a positive light on occasion – such as his paying tribute to the family of a recently killed soldier during a congressional address – or identify where Trump’s failure to deal with an issue, such as the war in Afghanistan, is not substantially different from the dilemmas and inaction of previous administrations.
Woodward chooses his words carefully, even if he’s subtly scathing at times, including of former FBI director James Comey, on whom he offers a more critical perspective than that set out in his memoir A Higher Loyalty.
But in spite of his fair reporting, Woodward undoubtedly paints a picture of a disengaged Commander-in-Chief who takes important decisions on the fly, without proper consultation. He depicts the President as self-absorbed, narcissistic, and above all, dishonest. And it’s this overriding picture which will, for many, be a source of true fear.


I’m soon to be releasing my VERY FIRST work of fiction titled The Saga Of Cyrillus Severus – Volume 1. This will be the first in a series of at least five volumes of the Novella.
The book follows a young hero (Cyrillus Severus) through Western Europe, on a quest for deeper meaning and connections in his life, following a sort of mild, but persistent melancholy. Throughout his journey, Cyrillus encounters a number of colorful characters, some friend and some foe, all while gaining a deeper understanding of what it is to truly be alive.
Being the first in the series, Volume 1 is sure to be the start of a great adventure for young Cyrillus Severus and the reader alike.
Stay tuned for more!

Perhaps you can email me back suggestions for other books that I might read and recommend in a subsequent article.
John King – Reaching for the Sun: How Plants Work
This is not a book about gardening per se, but it is an excellent and accessible introduction into the workings of plants. I have found myself reading it through several times because it is a good read. In my experience just a better understanding of how plants work would be greatly beneficial for most gardeners. There are other basic botany books such as Brian Capon’s Botany for gardeners.
Michael Dirr – Manual of Woody Landscape Plants: Their Identification, Ornamental Characteristics, Culture, and Propagation and Uses
It’s hard to imagine that such a long tome on the woody plants would be fun to read, but Dirr is not only THE expert, but an entertaining writer as well. With a common name or scientific name you can learn more than you thought there was to know.
Rodale Press – Rodale’s Illustrated Encyclopedia of Gardening and Landscaping Techniques
Rodale books are fun, quirky and very accessible, and this one is stocked full with information and wonderful illustrations. It covers the gamut, well, except in true Rodale fashion there is nothing in this book about chemicals.
Lois Trig Chaplin – The Southern Gardener’s Book of Lists: The Best Plants for All Your Needs, Wants, and Whims
This is one of those books that is a lot of fun and very helpful at the same time. If you can think of a list that could apply to a southern garden, it is in this book. Substitutes for Bradford Pear? Yep, a list. Annuals that attract butterflies? Yep, a list. Perennials that can take sun all day? Yep, that list is in there too.
James R. Cothran – Gardens and Historic Plants of the Antebellum South
When we think of the southern garden today we tend to think of the suburban dogwood/azalea/camellia garden of the mid twentieth century. This wonderful book, a gift to me from my daughter Heather, explores gardens, plants, and gardening in the south up to the Civil War, much of it plantation gardening. It is fascinating to see how many familiar non native plants got firmly situated in the southern garden so early on.
Bob Polomski – Carolinas Month-by-Month Gardening: What to Do Each Month to Have A Beautiful Garden All Year
It is hard to keep everything straight in our heads about what to do when and where in the garden – even if the information is up there somewhere. Polomski divides his book up into types of plants – bulbs, lawns, houseplants, perennials etc., and does a month by month guide for each category with nice helpful hints scattered throughout. I use this a lot.
Steve Bender – The Southern Living Garden Book: Completely Revised, All-New Edition (2004)
This is the one book in the list I do not own, but I asked my gardening friends what gardening encyclopedia they enjoy and use the most and they pretty much all said this one.
Michael Pollan – Second Nature: A Gardener’s Education
This is about as perfect a non fiction book as can be written, and Pullan’s ruminations based on his experience in his own garden are enriching. His exploration of the difference between nature and culture is worth the cost of the book.
Andrea Wulf – The Brother Gardeners: A Generation of Gentlemen Naturalists and the Birth of an Obsession
It’s hard to imagine botanical collectors as cultural rock stars, nor the collecting and sharing of plants across oceans as an industry unto itself. But centered in England this international trade sent American plants and trees all over the world, thanks mostly to the dedicated life labor of John and William Bartram. It also brought a lot of plants here!
Gardening Club of Columbia – Gardening Notes for South Carolina
This quaint little guide put together by the Columbia Gardening Club not only has a month by month calendar but lots of interesting (and somewhat random) information about plants common to the SC midlands gardens.
Gil Nelson – Best Native Plants for Southern Gardens: A Handbook for Gardeners, Homeowners, and Professionals
I am a big fan of native plants. Amidst the tidal wave of non native plants and cultivars, natives have become rare jewels among thorns. It is my hope that over time Midlands gardeners will gradually fill empty spaces and design new ones with plants adapted to our region. Nelson’s is an extraordinary guide for doing just that.
Lee Reich – The Pruning Book: Completely Revised and Updated
If there is any particular gardening skill that seems in short supply it is pruning. I have not read all the available pruning guides but this is a good one.
Allan M. Armitage – Herbaceous Perennial Plants: A Treatise on Their Identification, Culture and Garden Attributes
What Dirr is to woody plants Armitage is to perennials. This book is what it says it is – a treatise. It is a reference book but also makes for great casual reading. If you get one book on perennials get this one.

About A Child of Tender Years: Hayden's Journey
by Joyce M. Jackson
2004 Edition: Perfect bound; 240 pages; 6 x 9 inches
"Mom, who is your hero?"
A simple question asked by an innocent child. Hayden Block had no way of
knowing that to his mother, he was her greatest hero. A young heart, but
spiritually mature beyond his years, Hayden offered life lessons to every
person who came in contact with him. He persevered through physical pain
and sometimes emotional hurts. He learned to cope with a body that didn’t
look like other kids. And yet his sensitive loving heart and ebullient spirit
attracted many friends and admirers wherever he went.
A Child of Tender Years: Hayden’s Journey is first Hayden’s story - his life’s
journey from birth until age 14. But it is also a journey for his mother as she
watches him grow, learns with him...and from him. It is a story about
sacrifice and letting go, of being completely reliant on God and radiantly
acquiescing to all that He asks of us. It is a story about faith.
About the Author
Joyce Jackson concerning the book: This book took its own long journey to get to its
present form, starting back in 1992 when I entered Belmont University to finish my
bachelor’s degree. An essay I wrote titled, appropriately enough, “Hayden’s Journey” was
published in the Belmont Literary Journal and caught the attention of an English professor
who encouraged me to write the book as an independent study project. So thank you, Jim
Brock, wherever you are. Dr. Robbie Pinter, who advised, guided and encouraged me while
I was at Belmont also deserves many thanks.
Joyce is a long-term resident of Nashville, Tennessee and works as an editor for School
Age Notes. (www.schoolagenotes.com)


The Double Life of Veronique (La Double vie de Véronique) [DVD]
Director : Krzysztof Kieslowski
Screenplay : Krzysztof Kieslowski & Krzysztof Piesiewicz
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 1991
Stars : Irène Jacob (Weronika / Veronique), Philippe Volter (Alexandre Fabbri), Sandrine Dumas (Catherine), Halina Gryglaszewka (The aunt), Wladyslaw Kowalski (Weronika's father), Jerzy Gudejko (Antek), Claude Duneton (Veronique's father)
An inscrutable mystery wrapped in a puzzle wrapped in an enigma, Krzysztof Kieslowski’s beautiful and haunting The Double Life of Veronique (La Double vie de Véronique) is a film of rich imagery and obscure meaning. It is either a lyrical meditation on identity or a bit of New Age-ish claptrap that wallows in its own inconsequence, and what the viewer brings to it will largely determine which it is. I like to think that it’s the former, with its tangled web of potentially frustrating mysteries drawing me back to the film again and again, like a beautiful poem that refuses to divulge its secrets with only a single reading.
The story concerns two identical women (both played by Irène Jacob), one of whom lives in Poland and one of whom lives in France. They look exactly the same and share many similarities--a gift for singing, a loving father, a potentially weak heart--yet each is unaware of the other’s existence beyond an undefined emotional connection. Their paths do cross one day in Krakow, where one of the women accidentally photographs the other during a political rally, but otherwise their lives are forged along separate paths connected only by an inexplicable emotional string (strings are one of Kieslowski’s favorite images in the film).
The first third of the narrative concerns the life of Weronika, the Polish woman, who is introduced singing in her school choir and eventually wins a coveted position singing with a great conductor (the music, which is supposedly 200 years old and recently discovered, is actually the work of frequent Kieslowski collaborator Zbigniew Preisner). The action abruptly shifts about half an hour into the film to Veronique, the French woman, who is a music teacher who happens to teach the same 200-year-old music that Weronika was singing. Veronique’s narrative arc follows her involvement with Alexandre Fabbri (Philippe Volter), a children’s book author and puppeteer who draws her into his world by sending her audio recordings that lead her to him.
Any plot description of The Double Life of Veronique, either brief or detailed, is destined to pointlessness because Kieslowski and his cowriter Krzysztof Piesiewicz (with whom he worked on many films) are less interested in the mechanics of narrative than they are in the exquisite details of emotion. Their stubborn refusal to answer many of the film’s most riveting questions and the enigmatic manner in which they approach the metaphysical connection between these physically identical women will be frustrating to some and liberating to others.
Once you allow yourself to drop the pretense of needing to “understand” everything, you are free to indulge in the sensuous textures of Slawomir Idziak’s gorgeous cinematography and Zbigniew Preisner’s rich musical score, not to mention the subtle nuances of Irène Jacob’s extraordinarily deft and moving performance (she was rightfully given the acting award at Cannes). You are also free to discover your own interconnections, perhaps finding that Kieslowski is less interested in the specific dynamics of how these two women are connected than in how we are all connected spiritually. His frequent use of mirrors and doubles gives the film a sense of constantly reflecting itself, which begs the viewer to look more carefully, much as the two women’s off-screen mothers do in the film’s opening moments.
Wedged in between his two masterpieces--the 10-hour television drama Dekalog (1989–1990) and the Three Colors trilogy of films (1993–1994)--The Double Life of Veronique may feel a bit slight to some viewers, even those who treasure Kieslowski’s other films. It is certainly a work of great emotion and mystery, one that rewards each viewer differently. Kieslowski understood this well, which is surely why he originally intended The Double Life of Veronique to have more than a dozen different endings playing in as many different theaters, thus suggesting to those who would see the film again and again both the arbitrary nature of constructed narrative and the importance of individuality.

|Audio||French/Polish Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround|
|Distributor||The Criterion Collection|
|Release Date||November 21, 2006|
|VIDEO & AUDIO|
|The film looks, in a word, stunning. The high definition transfer was created by scanning the 35mm original negative on a Spirit Datacine in 2K resolution. It was then color corrected on a Specter Virtual Datacine and digitally cleaned up with the MTI Digital Restoration System. The attention to detail and the use of the best available film elements have paid off, giving us an image that is vivid, deeply saturated (lots of golden and greenish tones), and highly detailed. Judging by screen captures I have seen of the Region 2 French and British DVDs, the Criterion is superior, with better color and a brighter image. Because The Double Life of Veronique is as much about its music as its images, the soundtrack is of particular importance, and again the Criterion disc shines. The two-channel stereo soundtrack was mastered at 24-bit from the 35mm magnetic tracks and restored digitally. It sounds fantastic, especially when Zbigniew Preisner’s gorgeous musical score completely envelopes you.|
|There is something of a double-edged nature to the extensive number of supplements included on this two-disc set. On the positive side, it provides an impressive amount of context and background information on the film, Kieslowski’s career, and Polish cinema in general. On the down side, the comprehensiveness of it seems to suggest that this is the only Kieslowski film we can expect from Criterion (many have been crossing their fingers for Dekalog or the Three Colors trilogy for years). Nevertheless, the extensive supplements are all worth investigating and are indicative of the kind of quality for which Criterion has become known. |
The screen-specific audio commentary by Annette Insdorf, author of Double Lives, Second Chances: The Cinema of Krzysztof Kieslowski, is one of the best of its kind: lucid, eloquent, and thoroughly informative. It is a must-listen for those who want a deeper understanding and appreciation of the film. Insdorf offers consistently fascinating analysis of the film’s underlying themes and symbolism, as well as intriguing historical and background information, including the tantalizing bit about how Kieslowski originally wanted the film to have 17 alternate endings, one for each of the Parisian movie theaters in which it was slated to open. There is an alternate ending provided on the disc, which tacks four additional shots onto the original ending at the insistence of Miramax’s Harvey Weinstein for the film’s U.S. theatrical run. It is included here, obviously taken from a full-frame video source, the lousy quality of which makes you realize just how good Criterion’s transfer of the film is. Also included on the first disc are three short documentary films by Kieslowski: Factory (1970), Hospital (1976), and Railway Station (1980), as well as The Musicians (1958), a short film by Kieslowski’s teacher Kazimierz Karabasz.
The second disc includes two documentaries. The first, Kieslowski - Dialogue (1991), runs 52 minutes in length and features a lengthy, in-depth interview with Kieslowski and rare behind-the-scenes footage from the set of The Double Life of Veronique. The interview and behind-the-scenes footage are great, but the documentary itself is a bit pretentious and tries to do too much. Much better is the half-hour French documentary 1966–1988: Kieslowski, Polish Filmmaker (2005), which traces both the history of the Polish cinema after World War II and Kieslowski’s career. The disc is rounded out with three interviews: actress Irène Jacob, cinematographer Slawomir Idziak, and composer Zbigniew Preisner (the interview with Jacob appeared on both of the European DVD releases of the film, but the latter two interviews are new to this release). The insert booklet is particularly rich with insight: It includes new essays by Jonathan Romney, Slavoj Zizek, and Peter Cowie, as well as an excerpt from Kieslowski on Kieslowski. All told, a fantastic two-disc set and nothing less than we have come to expect from Criterion.

Today marks the 62nd anniversary of the world's second atomic bomb attack: Nagasaki.
Back in 2000 I was visiting Hiroshima and was able to attend the 55th anniversary memorial service of the first atomic bomb attack. It was a profoundly sad occasion that was passed with great decorum and civility without any angry or maudlin moments, for which there was great risk. While the majority of the attendees were Japanese of all ages, there were also a large number of non-Japanese there. Somehow there was a unity formed with all attending parties, and the desire for an end to violent conflict and wanton death was palpable in the air. At the risk of sounding trite, at that moment one could believe that Peace did, in fact, 'have a chance'.
There's not much else to write beyond that, but legendary Japanese cultural scholar Donald Richie has a book review in The Japan Times of Kikuko Otake's MASAKO'S STORY: Surviving the Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima that is worth reading-- less for the comments about the book itself, than for his own reminiscence on the bombings of Hiroshima (specifically) and Nagasaki. For those who don't know, Donald Richie first came to Japan (where he has lived for almost 60 years) as part of the post-war US occupational forces.
Here's an excerpt from the review:
The cenotaph for the Hiroshima victims reads "Let all the souls here rest in peace, for we shall not repeat the evil," but war goes on incessantly in what promises to be the most bloody of decades and the evil here referenced, the atomic bomb, is commonly flaunted as a threat. How then can the souls of the Hiroshima dead rest in peace?
One way is to keep them always in mind and never to forget what happened on Aug. 6, 1945. But that was over 60 years ago, the lifetime of a generation, and forgetting is a way of recovering. Also, while we can keep alive the death of a loved one or two, it is more difficult to feel the same way about larger numbers of people. With the best will in the world, we cannot encompass the emotional demands of thousands — and the atomic bomb destroyed hundreds of thousands of people.
In addition the dead have been drafted for political purposes. It is now commonplace to hear use of the bomb absolved by reference to all of those lives saved that would otherwise have been sacrificed. But those thus hypothetically saved are only nominally alive and those that the bomb killed are actually and irrefutably dead. The future can never vindicate the past. Only the present can do that. So how is memory of what happened in Hiroshima to be kept alive, to be retained in its pain and horror? Each year the task becomes more difficult.
I remember when horror was fresh. That was when I first read about what had happened in Hiroshima. I read it in that special issue of The New Yorker magazine that contained all of John Hersey's report on the effects of the bomb on the city and its people. I read about it here in Tokyo as I was a member of the Occupation forces at the time.
None of us knew much about Hiroshima, since travel there was not yet permitted and the photographs and later accounts were still censored. Such was the Occupation attitude that even this issue of The New Yorker was banned. All of us were thus learning for the first time what had actually occurred.
There was no forgetting this. It was too horrible, too recent, too close. The atomic bomb, far from being a political plaything, was indeed evil, and all of us felt this — and the onus of having used it, no matter how many lives it hypothetically saved.
Read the rest here.


113 Robert Cumberford: I ’ ve been personally involved with fiberglass car design for more than six decades at levels from do - it - yourself to volume production (specifically Chevrolet Corvettes in the Fifties), so I know a little bit about the subject from direct experience. But I continue to learn more from the amazing revelations that keep popping up in Geoff Hacker ’ s Forgotten Fiberglass project. The constant — one might even say, obsessive — research on the origins and evolution of using fiberglass reinforced resin moldings for car bodies has resulted in a comprehensive history that exists nowhere else. From a personal blog to an almost encyclopedic collection of ancient publications, personal stories, and rare photos, Hacker and his colleague Rick D ’ Louhy have created an invaluable resource for both automotive and social historians, a resource that will remain valuable for decades to come. It ’ s a little hokey (“ Glass on, gang! ”) and seems disjointed much of the time, but it ’ s also accurate, encompassing, fascinating and constantly interesting. No matter what degree of interest you may have, there is something for you in Undiscovered Classics and Forgotten Fiberglass. We should all hope that Hacker ’ s passion remains at the high level that has brought the concept so far in so short a time. Robert Cumberford is a designer who became a writer by accident. His race report on the 12 Hours of Sebring was published when he was an eighteen - year - old Art Center student in 1954. Subsequently he has published thousands of articles on cars and airplanes, in American, Asian, English, European, and South American magazines. He contributed to several books, including the entire text of the well - reviewed Auto Legends , now available in five translated editions -- French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Polish in addition to the original English version. In 1985, Automobile Magazine founder David E. Davis, Jr., invited him to be one of two executive editors when Automobile was in the planning stages. Cumberford demurred, saying he knew nothing about magazine production and claims he still doesn ’ t, except that it ’ s important to meet deadlines. He contributed features from the beginning and began his popular “ By Design ” column in the sixth issue, September 1986.

Over the off season, each week we will be featuring a particular page on the website. This week it is the DK History Page:
DK has a long and interesting history going back to May 1920. It is important that we record and publish this story. It is only when we know where we have come from that we can fully appreciate where we are!
We are lucky at DK because we have a keen, accomplished and indeed a published historian (and retired Engineer) in Bob (Stuart) McMaster.
Bob has huge archives of facts and images of DK going all the way back to it’s inception in 1920. He has produced some articles for the Black Country Bugle and has provided a wealth of information for this section of the website.
We will publish various articles and pictures on this page over the coming seasons, the content of which will be in the title.
We have, so far, 24 published articles, (see below) some great reading in the off season!
If you have anything to add to these articles or have any photos of or at DK we would love to hear from you! Please contact us at: email@example.com

Named one of the “world’s ten most influential intellectuals” by MIT, Douglas Rushkoff is an author and documentarian who studies human autonomy in a digital age. His twenty books include the just-published Survival of the Richest: Escape Fantasies of the Tech Billionaires, as well as the recent Team Human, based on his podcast, and the bestsellers Present Shock, Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus, Program or Be Programmed, Life Inc, and Media Virus. He also made the PBS Frontline documentaries Generation Like, The Persuaders, and Merchants of Cool. His book Coercion won the Marshall McLuhan Award, and the Media Ecology Association honored him with the first Neil Postman Award for Career Achievement in Public Intellectual Activity.
Winner of the Media Ecology Association’s first Neil Postman award for Career Achievement in Public Intellectual Activity, Dr. Douglas Rushkoff is an author, teacher, and documentarian who focuses on the ways people, cultures, and institutions create, share, and influence each other’s values. He is Professor of Media Theory and Digital Economics at CUNY/Queens, where he founded the Laboratory for Digital Humanism. He is a columnist for Medium, technology and media commentator for CNN, a research fellow at the Institute for the Future, and a lecturer on media, technology, culture and economics around the world.
His latest book, Survival of the Richest: Escape Fantasies of the Tech Billionaires, deconstructs what Rushkoff calls “The Mindset” – a Silicon Valley delusion that as long as they have enough money and the right technology, these men can break the laws of physics, economics, and morality to escape a disaster of their own making. Rushkoff also wrote a manifesto called Team Human, which calls for the retrieval of human autonomy in a digital age. Prior to that, his book Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus: How Growth Became the Enemy of Prosperity argued that we have failed to build the distributed economy that digital networks are capable of fostering, and instead doubled down on the industrial age mandate of growth above all. His many best-selling books on media and popular culture have been translated to over thirty languages. They include Present Shock: When Everything Happens Now, Program or Be Programmed: Ten Commands for a Digital Age, a followup to his Frontline documentary, Digital Nation, and Life Inc, an analysis of the corporate spectacle, which was also made into a short, award-winning film.
His other books include Cyberia, Media Virus, Playing the Future, Nothing Sacred: The Truth about Judaism, Get Back in the Box: Innovation from the Inside Out and Coercion, winner of the Marshall Mcluhan Award for best media book. Rushkoff also wrote the acclaimed novels Ecstasy Club and Exit Strategy and graphic novel, Club Zero-G. He wrote the graphic novels Testament and A.D.D., for Vertigo.
He has written and hosted three award-winning PBS Frontline documentaries – The Merchants of Cool looked at the influence of corporations on youth culture, The Persuaders, about the cluttered landscape of marketing, and new efforts to overcome consumer resistance, and Digital Nation, about life on the virtual frontier. Most recently, he made Generation Like, an exploration of teens, marketers, and social media.
His commentaries have aired on CBS Sunday Morning and NPR’s All Things Considered, and have appeared in publications from The New York Times to Time magazine. He wrote the first syndicated column on cyberculture for The New York Times and Guardian of London, as well as regular columns for Arthur, Discover Magazine and The Feature. He also hosted is own radio program on WFMU, The Media-Squat.
Rushkoff has taught regularly for NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program, The New School University, the MaybeLogic Academy and the Esalen Institute. He also lectures about media, art, society, and change at conferences and universities around the world.

This report, released July 8, 1999, is the third in the Falling Through the Net series from the U.S. Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). This comprehensive study of the technology gap in America indicates alarming differences in access to technology and the information and services it provides. These differences have increased since the previous report in the series. From the report: "Education and income appear to be among the leading elements driving the digital divide today. Because these factors vary along racial and ethnic lines, minorities will continue to face a greater digital divide as we move into the next century." The previous two reports are also available on the site. All reports are available in pdf or HTML.

TWO SHOWS!: 6:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
The Red Guitar: a jazz libretto is Bruce Forman’s perspective into the life of a musician, and an exploration of the creative process.
Imagine receiving an invitation to a gala featuring John Coltrane, Sigmund Freud, and Faust. Bruce Forman’s “The Red Guitar” is all that more. It draws on Forman’s decades of experience as a formidable jazz guitarist and his considerable skill as a storyteller and teacher, producing a work that is greater than the sum of its dazzling parts.
A story in and about jazz, The Red Guitar showcases Bruce Forman’s genre—breaking inventiveness and his ability to improvise and create within a classical form. Enlisting the full power of the jazz idiom and integrating it with seasoned and provocative story-telling, he confronts the dilemma of artistic obsession face-to-face—by creating a work of art that simultaneously explores and demonstrates the hold that music has over its most ardent followers, the hold that poses itself as a life-or-death, must-be-solved-question to Forman and his ilk: “The Red Guitar. Do you play it…or does it play you?

More About The Tin Soldiers
Raphael Undu is 13 years old, a farmer’s son in Congo’s rebellious, mineral-rich east. When war scatters his family, he must protect his little sister, Keisha, and try to reunite them. He is a tough and resourceful boy, but ranged against him are rebels and a renegade army, vying for control of mineral wealth beyond imagination.
While Raphael’s personal crisis spirals out of control, photographer James Falkus follows clues to the Congo, hoping to piece together the puzzle surrounding his birth parents. James, however, is opening a Pandora’s box, with devastating and far-reaching consequences for everyone around him.
All the while, the lives of ordinary people are being manipulated by powerful national and global forces locked in a struggle for control of the country and its natural riches, and playing a high-stakes poker game for global influence. Only one thing is certain—nothing and no one here are what they seem.
If you want to understand the lasting effects of colonisation, of modern greed and global capitalism, and you want it all wrapped up in a novel full of heart-stopping moments, the best and worst of humanity and the nagging feeling that something is rotten in the world, but that hope springs eternal, then this is the book for you. Cowan has the feel for the right word in the right place at the right time. He's economical and sparse, but can turn on words that flow and bite and make you wriggle with the inadequacy of your own response to the troubles of Africa, the troubles of the world. Hope a second book is being built right now. A new name. I'm buying for presents. Always a good sign.

PubMed is a free database accessing the MEDLINE database of citations, abstracts and some full text articles on life sciences and biomedical topics. The United States National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) maintains PubMed as part of the Entrez information retrieval system. Listing an article or journal in PubMed is not endorsement. In addition to MEDLINE, PubMed also offers access to
- OLDMEDLINE for pre-1966 citations. This has recently been enhanced, and records for 1951+, even those parts in the printed indexes, are now included within the main portion.
- Citations to all articles (even those that are out-of-scope, e.g., covering plate tectonics or astrophysics) from certain MEDLINE journals, primarily the most important general science and chemistry journals, from which the life sciences articles are indexed for MEDLINE.
- In-process citations which provide a record for an article before it is indexed with MeSH and added to MEDLINE or converted to out-of-scope status.
- Citations that precede the date that a journal was selected for MEDLINE indexing (when supplied electronically by the publisher).
- Some life science journals that submit full text to the PubMed Central digital library and may not have been recommended for inclusion in MEDLINE although they have undergone a review by NLM, and some physics journals that were part of a prototype PubMed in the early to mid-1990s.
Many PubMed citations contain links to full text articles which are freely available, often in PubMed Central. In late 2007, President George W. Bush signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2007 (H.R. 2764) into law; this law included a provision requiring the NIH to modify its policies and require inclusion into PubMed Central complete electronic copies of their peer-reviewed research and findings from its funded research. This is the first time the US government has required an agency to provide open access to research and is an evolution from the 2005 policy, in which the NIH asked researchers to voluntarily add their research to PubMed Central. With an effective date of 7 April 2008, the Department of Health and Human Services gave notice: "The Director of the National Institutes of Health shall require that all investigators funded by the NIH submit or have submitted for them to the National Library of Medicine's PubMed Central an electronic version of their final, peer-reviewed manuscripts upon acceptance for publication, to be made publicly available no later than 12 months after the official date of publication: Provided, That the NIH shall implement the public access policy in a manner consistent with copyright law".
The National Library of Medicine also leases the MEDLINE information to a number of private vendors such as Ovid and SilverPlatter – as well as many other vendors. PubMed has been available free on the Internet since the mid-1990s.
Information about the journals indexed in PubMed is found in its Journals Database, searchable by subject or journal title, Title Abbreviation, the NLM ID (NLM's unique journal identifier), the ISO abbreviation, and both the print and electronic International Standard Serial Numbers (pISSN and eISSN). The database includes all journals in all Entrez databases.
As of 29 July 2010 (2010 -07-29)[update], PubMed has approximately 20 million citations going back to the year 1865. To see the current size of the database simply type "1800:2100[dp]" into the search bar and click "search".

The King's Corner - Fall 2016 Edition
"Give a joyful shout” describes the atmosphere as we begin our new school year at St. Louis the King School. Over the summer, due to wonderful volunteers, we renovated the library. To accommodate our learning needs and to have classrooms near each other, we moved the library from the second floor to the first floor. The new library was fully renovated with inviting colors, new shelving, a young children’s area with a Dr. Seuss area rug and table and chairs that would fit Goldilocks and the little Bear. The former classroom is now a space that everyone wants to come in and read awhile.
Please help us spread the word to families and friends about the great school St. Louis the King is! We welcomed new parents and students at almost every grade level. We also welcomed several new faculty and staff members. St. Louis the King is fortunate to have a Learning Consultant on staff to assist with the educational and differentiated learning needs of our students. Mrs. Erin Gunn is our new Learning Consultant this school year. We also welcomed our new kindergarten teacher, Ms. Bridget Cusick; Mrs. Samone Smith, who is teaching first grade; Mr. Kevin Holley, our new eighth grade teacher; and our new PE teacher, Mr. Scott Riggs.
We are excited for this new school year and the blessings it will bring. I encourage you to visit when you can or join us for our Wednesday morning mass at 9:00 a.m. in the Cathedral. We begin with renewal of spirit as we make a concentrated effort to live virtue, making each year better than the last.

Easy read. Clear, concise ideas. Short and to the point chapters. Originally written in 1918, this book is still important and relevant. It outlines how to use your creative mind to create the life you desire.
“When we resist we make a mental image of the thing we are fighting, and that tends to have it created for us.” (p. 55) The more we think about something we DON’T want, the more we are actually bringing that very thing to us by keeping our mind and thoughts on it. The clue is to look only at what we do want and never at what we don’t want.

TOOLS FOR DOCUMENTING AND CITING YOUR RESOURCES
There are a few really important things
to keep in mind as you do your research:
1) Use sources that provide accurate, relevant, and current information.
Accurate means it is correct.
Relevant means it matters.
Current means it is up-to-date.
2) You must give credit to the sources that you use. In fancy-dancy
language we call this "documenting your sources." To do this, you
include a special page at the end of your project called a "Works
Cited" page. See below for help.
3) You may NOT take information from a source word for word. You must
use your own words to explain what you learn from the sources that you
use. Taking information word for word and/or not giving credit to
sources that you use is called PLAGIARISM and it is illegal.
4) Use an app or website helper like EasyBib to help
create your list of sources.
OLD STUFF BELOW: Still helpful, but not as updated and
easy as EasyBib
MIDDLE SCHOOL RESEARCH
WRITE A WORKS CITED PAGE & SAMPLE WORKS CITED (2 pages)
website lets you plug in basic information about your source and
then tells you how it should look for your Works Cited page!
Read the hints below to use this tool correctly:
- For citations we use MLA style - you will see the choices
when you go to the Citation Machine website. They are on the
- After you click on MLA you will choose from Print and
Non-Print sources. Just below it says, "<see more>" - you need
to click on that to see all the different types of sources.
- Figure out what kind of source you are trying to cite
(book, article from a database, government publication, TV or
radio program, etc.) and click on it in the list on the left.
- Then carefully fill in the information as best you can.
Sometimes you will not know all the information asked for. That
is okay. Just put in whatever you have.
- Click submit. The website will then give you the citation.
All you need to do is copy/paste this into a Word document.
- Once you paste it into Word you will need to put a proper
heading on your document and put the words Works Cited centered
above all your sources.
- You will also need to make all your sources have a "hanging
indent." To do this you: highlight the source, go to Format
menu, select Paragraph, change the indent marked "special" from
"none" to "hanging."
- Don't forget that you must also alphabetize your list of
sources by the first word. Ignore the word "the."
- Also remember to put a period "." at the end of each source
- Still confused? No biggie - come see Ms. K and she will help
you until it is perfect!

instructions, let me know and I will try to make them better!

Long ago, harmony and unison bound the vast lands of the Sky and the Surface.
The creatures that housed these lands lived as one, each place held in prosperity by their respective leaders; the Sky ruled by the Divine, the Surface by the Magick Order.
The two worlds existed separately and thrived off of each other's distant presence; without darkness, as they say, there would be no light, and without disorder, no balance.
Regardless of this seemingly perfect harmony, however, sin lingered in the hearts of many; envy, greed, and lust for power.
After centuries of peace, happiness, wealth and prosperity, a war began; a war that would bring the balance between the two great lands to a terrible end.
The war began with a rebellion; a revolution of sorts, to take down the Magick Order. This rebellion stemmed from the jealousy of the Magick Order's noble-ranked; the envy these high-standing witches felt towards the King and Queen.
Soon, the path towards the end of the Magick Order began to run its course. The noble witches persuaded their lower-standing servants and other allies across the Surface-land to do as they asked, particularly by offering a lifetime of riches and, though this was not true, their seat on the throne of the Magick Order. The servants and noble allies concurred, for their hearts were stained with jealousy and greed towards the Royal Family, too. The group made their way into one of many parties that took place at the Order's Palace, and assassinated the King and Queen themselves. Then, with the blood of the monarchy staining their hands, they pulled the torches from the walls and burnt the palace to the ground.
The death of the King and Queen shattered the Magick Order, and brought chaos upon the Surface-land. The nobles' treacherous act brought great satisfaction to some, as intended, however those in the Land of the Sky were not so pleased. In an effort to avenge their fallen allies, the Divine banished the nobles and their correspondents to an eternity of suffering, damning them to the confinement of total mortality, keeping their power and magic tools locked far away in a vault in the Land of the Sky. To punish those who disagreed with them, and felt deep down that the death of the kind King and Queen would give them some sort of advantage in their own lives, the Divine closed themselves off from the Surface-land entirely.
Little did the Divine know, however, that the three young children of the King and Queen had escaped on the night of their parents' demise.
The eldest brother took the hands of his siblings and fled the palace, running to the far ends of the Surface-land to escape the wrath of the nobles.
With time, the young witches soon found themselves in the biggest city in the Surface-land, Renmei Central. After the crumbling of the Order, the distraught people of the Surface crowded in the near center of the world, and vowed to piece together an unbreakable bond in the form of a capital city. "The Magick Order has fallen, and the Surface-land will never be the same," the people said, "The time to grow and learn to live without guidance is now."
With the young witches' realization of inevitable change came their discovery of karma, too; the idea that good things come to those who are good, and bad things come to those who are bad. It was then that they understood what they had to do, for their world to live on and prosper.


Every framework has its own advantages and flaws.
The web application development organizations always admire new frameworks and try to adapt to these new features to develop innovative applications both for themselves and for their clients. Even large enterprises/organizations, new startups, small-and-medium enterprises, and many other businesses look forward to the launch of latest and updated JS frameworks in order to have their apps developed using these new features. This is, to some extent, the key to successful business sustenance.
Since the Google Closure Library is open source, it’s possible to integrate the library in projects outside Google. It provides the base for JS libraries of different Google products, like Google Search, Gmail, Maps, Docs, Sites, Calendar, etc. Hence, for large or scaling up applications, this verified library can help prevent issues related to cross-browser compatibility and the minutiae of programming on the client-side.


The archives are currently in the building stage and will be available soon.
A discourse by Themistius on the virtue ( Perì aretēs), lost in Greek, is extant in Syriac translation and published (ed. Sachau, Inedita Syriaca, 1870 (repr 1968):17–47; also edited by Doneway-Norman 1974, in Themistii Orationes with Latin trans. by March R: 7–71; German trans. Gildemeister-Bücheler (1872), Italian trans. Conterno 2014). A discourse by Themistius on friendship, lost in Greek, is extant in Syriac and published (ed. Sachau, Inedita Syriaca, 1870:48–75; Italian trans. Conterno 2014).
The Fihrist ( K. al-Fihrist, Flügel: 253,24–27) credits Abū ‘Uthmān al-Dimashqī with the Arabic translation of a discourse by Themistius’ On Government, lost in Greek. This Arabic translation is extant and published (MS Istanbul, Köprülü I 1608, ed. Cheikho, al-Mashriq 18 (1920):881–889; also edited by Shahid I, in Themistii Orationes 73–119; see also Gutas 1975:47; It. trans. Conterno 2014) –attribution to Themistius is disputed.
A work lost in Greek attributed to Themistius, the Treatise in response to Maxim on the reduction of the second and third figures of the syllogism, to the first one ( Māqāla fī-l-radd ‘alā Maqsīmūs fī taḥlīl al-thānī wa-l-thālith ilā al-awwal), is extant in Arabic. This text is published and translated into French (Badawī 1947, 1968; Rashed 2016) and lies in the background of some developments by al-Fārābī (Martini Bonadeo 2008).
In addition, a writing by al-Kindī On How to Dispel Sorrow has been traced back to a lost work on happiness attributed to Themistius. Kindī’s text is published together with the Italian translation (Ritter and Walzer 1938; Druart 1996; Martini Bonadeo 2008:227–228); however, Themistius’ authorship has been challenged.
Several Arab and Jewish authors mention Themistius without referring to a specific work. Fārābī mentions Themistius’ opinion regarding the date of composition of “Archytas’” treatise on the Categories: according to Fārābi, Themistius says that there were two authors named Archytas, only one of them was active before Aristotle, but the Archytas who wrote on the Categories, coming after Aristotle, could not be the source of Aristotle’s work (Kitāb al-alfāẓ al-musta‘mala fī-l-manṭiq, ed. Mahdi 1968:109,7–12; see Zimmerman 1981; Martini Bonadeo 2008).
Al-Sijistānī (c. 913–987 CE) quoted several passages attributed to Themistius, dealing with the definition of happiness (Muntakhāb Ṣiwān al-ḥikma, ed. Dunlop 1979:101); this passage is also quoted by al-Tawḥīdī (R. fī-l-Ṣadāqa wa-l-ṣadīq, ed. Keilani: 193). The influence of Themistius’ work on friendship has been detected in Miskawayh (s. X–XI, Tahdhīb al-akhlāq ed. Tamim: p 139; Rosenthal 1940:402–405).


The drama of this book unfolds when the producer of the Grizzly 2 sequel, "Grizzly II. Revenge", disappeared after the first day of the shoot. Since the movie was made in Hungary in 1983, the co-producer Suzanne C. Nagy had to take over the role of the producer. Under a very unusual circumstance, she was able to continue with the production and finish the principal photography. The drama continues when the old producer showed up in Paris when the film was edited and claimed full control. A disaster is about to unfold.

Napoleon and Kruszynka
Each place has its own story, and each story has its characters. This will be a tale about a French Emperor and a beautiful girl. The story, which took place in Tavern.
Napoleon Bonaparte visited Boleslawiec several times. Visit in May 1812 was very short. After a welcoming ceremony, the emperor decided to stop for the night at the Under the Black Eagle hotel. After a long journey, he dreamed of a hot cup of tea. Rosalie brings it to him, called Kruszynka because of her appetising, round shapes, betraying her love for good food. Bonaparte is talking to a girl, and is becoming more and more attracted to the resident of Kruszyna. Unfortunately, time is running out. The emperor leaves town in a hurry but pretty Kruszynka remains in his memory.
The emperor arrives in town again on 13th December 1812, when incognito, as the Duke of Vicenza under the name of Caulaincourt, has escaped from Moscow. He travels by sleigh, which during 22 degrees frost are bursting, forcing Napoleon to stop. Despite the threat of arrest by the Prussians, he stops at the same hotel, in the same room on the first floor. He is chilled, so as once he ordered tea. Once again, Rosalie brings it to him, who immediately recognises Prince Napoleon. They're talking more and more, when a trusted servant of Bonaparte informs him of the circulating Prussians near the hotel. The girl has persuaded the emperor to hide in her home in Kruszyn. A gambling night trip ends happily and they both arrive to Rosalie's family village.
There, they are giving away their emotions and spend an entrancing night together. Actually, only a part of the night, because Napoleon's aide who came along, warns him of the approaching danger. God of War is forced to leave the sleeping Kruszynka, doing so reluctantly, he's grieving to leave this gorgeous girl. In a hurry, he's writing a few words for goodbye, explanation of his behaviour and that he is running away from the land of Boleslawiec. He visits Boleslawiec twice afterwards, but he never met Rosalie again, who remains just a beautiful memory.
How much truth is contained in this story? Rather, we'll never know. The truth is not important here but the beauty of the story, which could have taken place right here. And this is why, for the remembrance of beautiful Kruszynka in the place where she supposedly lived, we opened a tavern to remind us about Rosalie and Napoleon's unfinished letter.


Brisbane City Council libraries have more than 150,000 online resources available to residents, including eBooks, eAudiobooks, language lessons, music, films and documentaries and eMagazine subscriptions, which are all available remotely, and free to access for library members.
Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said the city’s 33 libraries have always been safe spaces for social connection and its services remained a vital part of people’s daily lives.
“In response to the challenges of coronavirus, maintaining these connections to libraries is important and council has increased online services to keep connecting with residents and keep minds busy as we isolate to keep each other safe,” Schrinner told InQueensland.
Brisbane’s libraries normally offer a range of public engagement programs and on-premises events, and Schrinner said adapting to the changing needs of its customers while they were in social isolation was important.
“Council’s library services have made sure they are doing everything they can to continue to deliver much-loved programs and events in different ways.
“Children’s literacy sessions, author content, trivia, tutorials for accessing the e-collections and ideas for keeping the kids entertained these school holidays are being shared via the Brisbane Libraries Facebook page and in the coming week, council will also launch the Brisbane Libraries book club podcast.”
For vulnerable members of the community unable to access the libraries’ online services, a home library service is still available, with registered customers able to have a selection of books, magazines, audiobooks, DVDs and CDs brought to their homes.
“Usually a medical practitioner must support eligibility for the service, however this requirement will be waived for any application received during the coronavirus pandemic,” Schrinner said.
“People can phone their local library to apply and once the application is completed, applicants will receive a letter confirming receipt of the application and whether they are eligible.
“Council understands how important it is to provide recreational reading and social stimulation for vulnerable people who are isolating in their homes and library staff regularly phone home library service customers to have a friendly chat about their reading preferences and requests for items.”
Digital books and digital audiobooks have become an increasingly popular component of the libraries’ collection that many people have been accessing in recent weeks.
“The traditional physical audiobook format was a good fit for people with disabilities that made reading physical books difficult. In recent years, as people have become busier and keen to multi-task, audiobooks have become a popular part of the collection.”
Since 2018, Queensland libraries have also offered access to the Kanopy streaming service, which has a selection of more than 4000 movies, ranging from children’s entertainment and documentaries to Hollywood blockbusters.
At this stage, council libraries are forecast to remain closed until at least April 30, with due dates for physical items currently on loan extended to June 30.
Schrinner said he hoped the library’s online offerings would provide a welcome distraction to Brisbane residents while they were staying at home over the Easter break.
“Isolation is also a time when people are looking to remain positive and seek a distraction from what is happening in the world.
“Through online library services, people can learn a new language, discover images of Brisbane’s past through archives, watch recordings of authors talking about books and look for their next great read and there are lots of online resources for kids to keep them busy over the holidays.”
