Métissage does not a Métis make: SANB supports Mi'gmawe'l Tplu'taqnn's statement

Earlier today, the Société de l'Acadie du Nouveau-Brunswick (SANB) learned of a press release issued yesterday by Mi'gmawe'l Tplu'taqnn Inc, an organization representing the Mi'kmaq chiefs in New Brunswick, denouncing the claim of Aboriginal rights on their territory by people identifying themselves as "Métis-Acadien". The SANB shares the Chiefs' concerns in this regard and is troubled by the impact that this movement may have on the Acadian community's ongoing efforts towards reconciliation.
The history of the Atlantic Provinces is rich and complex, informed by multiple influences and actors from diverse backgrounds. Fortunately, there are historians and legal experts from these different communities who can sort out the historical truth from preconceived notions, often the result of family histories distorted by time or popular myths.
As for the question of historical and current alliances between the Acadians and the Nations of the Wabanaki Confederacy, including the Mi'kmaq, Wolastoqiyik and Peskotomuhkati, the vast majority of historians of both Indigenous and settler origins agree: since the beginning of colonization in 1604, the Acadians and the Wabanaki have maintained cordial and strategic diplomatic relations, which has resulted in a relationship unique in North America between colonial and Indigenous Nations.
In fact, Acadians recognize in their national narrative the importance of the First Nations to their survival during three specific periods: during colonization, during the French-English wars and during the Deportation. In his book A Great and Noble Scheme, the American historian John Mack Faragher notes the strong influence of Wabanaki culture on the Acadian identity (for example: place names, legends, way of life, etc.).
As the Mi'gmawe'l Tplu'taqnnl points out in their statement, the Mi'kmaq and Acadians in New Brunswick share a long history of cooperation that must be valued. However, this relationship brings with it special responsibilities, prompting the SANB to join the Chiefs in denouncing the claim by some to a "Métis-Acadien" identity in New Brunswick.
"In French, we use the general term métis – lower case – to designate a person whose father and mother do not share the same ethnic origins," says Alexandre Cédric Doucet, president of the SANB. "However, this term has a very specific legal meaning in Canada when used to denote a specific ethnocultural community or identity," continues president Doucet.
"Métis, capitalized, refers to a distinct and recognized Indigenous Nation living primarily in central Canada, descended from unions between various Indigenous Nations and primarly French settlers. The Métis are one of three recognized Indigenous groups in Canada, along with the Inuit and First Nations, and have their own language, culture and historical traditions," Doucet said.
"While there has been and continues to be intermarriages between Acadian and Indigenous individuals and families, historians and legal scholars do not recognize the existence of a distinct Métis Nation in Eastern Canada. To claim this is an unhealthy form of cultural appropriation that becomes particularly problematic when used to claim rights or funds (e.g. scholarships) that should normally go to the true Indigenous Peoples of the territory," concluded Doucet.
The SANB encourages all Acadians and Francophones in the province to celebrate the invaluable contribution of the Wabanaki Nations to our history and to the development of our Acadian identity. However, it is important to celebrate these ancestral ties as well as our historical and current friendship in a respectful manner, by listening to and supporting our oldest allies in their fight for equality and reconciliation.

LITTLE SAVOY COMMUNITY PICTURE HOUSE PROUDLY PRESENTS
Tuesday September 17th 7.30pm 2019
AN EVENING WITH DAVID J KAPLAN , ABOUT THE MUSICIANS AND THEIR LIFE ON BOARD THE TITANIC
Midnight Heroes The eight young band members on the Titanic played to the end. These talented musicians were true heroes. A comprehensive story of the Titanic’s band is rare. A photo biography of each musician and the legacies that each left behind, creates a captivating and an emotionally moving topic.
David J. Kaplan Petoskey, Michigan Biography David Kaplan was born and raised in the Washington D.C. suburb of Silver Spring, Maryland. After graduating from the University of Maryland with a degree in education, he taught electronics, power mechanics and drafting for 30 years in the Maryland’s Montgomery County Public Schools system. During that time, he was involved in civic matters. In the 1980s, David tried to keep Northwood High School, a Silver Spring school, from a planned closing. His efforts failed, however, he convinced the County Government not to raze the School. His enrollment projections eventually proved to be accurate and the school was reopened in 2004. As a result, the School’s stadium is named in David’s honor. He retired from teaching in 2004 and moved to the Petoskey, Michigan.
David’s interest in the Titanic began when he was 9 years old while watching the 1953 movie “Titanic” starring Clifton Web, Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Wagner. Even though it wasn’t a great movie, it caught his attention. From that point on, he has been studying the tragedy, the ship and its passengers. David has been a member if the Titanic Historical Society for over four decades and subsequently joined the Titanic International Society and the Titanic Society of Atlantic Canada. Over that time, he has been lucky to meet eighteen survivors, some more than once. David has had the pleasure of meeting with Melvina Dean several times. She was the last living survivor as she passed away in May 2009.
David has visited a number of Titanic related places numerous times in the UK and Ireland. These include: - Harland & Wolff; the Belfast shipyard where the Titanic was constructed - Cobh (formerly Queenstown), Ireland which was the last port of embarkation for the Titanic - Southampton, England where most of the crew lived and the ship started her maiden voyage
Liverpool, England which was the home of the White Star Line.
In addition, he made a visit to the ship’s sinking location in the North Atlantic Ocean while the Imax movie “Titanica” was filmed. In 1996, David was asked by Fox to be an “extra” in the 1997 blockbuster movie “Titanic”. Unfortunately, his teaching career prevented him from participating in the movie production.
Over the years, David has collected a variety of artifacts. In addition, he has constructed various display models of the ship and the disaster. David has given many presentations to schools, hotels, service organizations, libraries, museums, churches, community groups, military groups and senior centers. More recently, he has also given presentations on board the Queen Mary 2 and the Queen Elizabeth. Later this year, he will be presenting in Canada, England and Scotland.
David enjoys worldwide travel on the world’s seas. He has sailed 438 days with the Cunard Line (which includes 39 Trans-Atlantic crossings) plus 152 days with other cruise lines.


Words for America
Children's Book Author Barbara Kerley
"With a lyricism and an ardor that echoes Whitman's own, Kerley writes of his passion for both language and for "rambling".... Selznick's versatile illustrations encompass a stark realism...and surreal whimsy.... Their enthusiasm is convincing and contagious."
Publishers Weekly, starred review
"A visual and textual portrait of America's most revolutionary and celebrated poet. Kerley distills Whitman's wide-ranging biography, centering on the significant themes of his life: his passion for words, America, and the common man, as well as his torment over race, democracy, and the Civil War.... Depicting Whitman as both a literal and metaphorical journeyman, Selznick paints him hiking with the pages of his habitual notebooks floating around him, each with a word from his poetry, graphically bursting the boundaries of convention.... A cultural force rendered with power and immediacy for a new generation."
Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"An exuberant picture-book biography that focuses on Whitman's formative years and his selfless work as a Civil War nurse. Delightfully old-fashioned in design, its oversized pages are replete with graceful illustrations and snippets of poetry. The brilliantly inventive paintings add vibrant testimonial to the nuanced text."

Lately, I’ve been reading a lot of novels about family dynamics and the drama that ensures when people who are different are forced together because they’re family. Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng fits perfectly in that niche. There’s family, a surprise visitor in town, tradition, and (quite literally) little fires everywhere.
The Cronk Summary: When the mysterious and artistic Mia Warren arrives in the boring sounding Shaker Heights with her daughter Pearl, the town doesn’t realize that everything is going to change for one of their model families: The Richardson. Yes; the T is capitalized because everyone knows they’re a Shaker Heights original family with their original house and four children running around (Lexie, Izzy, Moody, and Trip). The children are amazed by Mia and Pearl while their mother Mrs. Richardson is suspicious and their father seems to be a benign painting on the wall. When the Richardson’s friends adopt a Chinese-American baby, the town is scandalized and everyone has to pick a side with Elena and Mia disagreeing. What happens next will change everything; like these books do.
I really enjoyed this book! I would give it a solid 4 stars. The narrative flows from one character to the next very naturally. So for example, you might see things through Moody’s perspective while also learning about Pearl’s life. From there, you seamlessly start to learn about Mia and Pearl’s life. And so on.
The narrative is driven by the mothers in this book. Primarily, this is through Mrs. Richardson and Mia clashing, but also through the secondary characters involved in the custody battle. The central theme is: What makes a mother? Is it genetics? Is it nurturing? Can you choose your family?
Not only are these questions debated in a public forum through the custody battle, but it’s also happening in the Warrens and Richardson’ homes. Both mothers are rejected by a daughter. Pearl prefers the stability and idyllic life that the Richardson children enjoy. Izzy, the rebellious youngest Richardson daughter, is attracted to the nomadic and artistic life that Mia leads. Mia worries that Pearl prefers their life over the one they created and doesn’t blame her. Mia has wandered around the country with Pearl for as long as she’s been alive; it’s understandable that Pearl wants stability. The relationship between Elena and Izzy is more tumultuous. Elena doesn’t understand Izzy and seems to resent her, something that Izzy has picked up on, but can’t explain.
The question at the center of the custody battle is the most challenging. Between a birth mother who wants her baby and the adoptive family that’s been taking care of her, who is the child’s mother? It’s hard to talk about this section without giving the ending away, but the ending is just as heartbreaking as the premise.
The one negative that I have with this book is one of it’s strengths: the writing. Because it flows between characters as the story moves along, some characters are ignored for long stretches of time. Mr. Richardson and Trip are 2D characters that suffer from this format while Mrs. Richardson and Pearl, for example, have more dimension.
Overall, I think Little Fires Everywhere is a worthy book of your TBR stack. If you’ve read it, let me know if you agree with me or disagree with my review. What’s on your TBR?

This assessment has presented me with the opportunity to build upon the knowledge and skills I developed in the Research & Practice Module and I feel that I have fully embraced that challenge. Having already conducted basic research on the outskirts of my research topic I felt I was in strong position to now thoroughly examine several facets contained within the framework of deceptive or ‘evil’ design.
As I began to gather relevant sources I realised that the topic I intend to undertake is incredibly broad and may even need to be refined further in the next assessment task in order to remain feasible. I could have easily chosen 40 to 50 credible, academic texts to support my research but from these I was able to ‘cherry pick’ the most applicable to cohesively support the core of my research. I then created a secondary reading list of supplementary sources, many of which, I plan to review over the coming weeks. The process of finding and evaluating sources was almost like a treasure hunt, the more I searched the more I kept finding golden nuggets of information! Each source led on to others equally as relevant however, I do believe the 20 sources I have chosen to annotate are the most relevant, current and appropriate in order to advice and inform both my creative practice and theoretical advancement.
If I had more time I would love to read and digest more; the more I learn, the more I want to learn and I am confident that this topic will continue to be a source of intrigue for the foreseeable future.

Theodore Roosevelt was born to a Dutch family in New York City on October 27, 1858. As a child he suffered through a number of illnesses so his father had a gymnasium built for him to help him build his strength, improving his health. He studied hard, attended Harvard College, and graduated in 1880. This ambitious man prospered in his career as an author, lawyer, and a public official. Theodore Roosevelt became the youngest President at the age of 42 when he took office in the White House back in 1901, serving two consecutive terms.
Teddy Roosevelt Costume Ideas for 2019
The Teddy Roosevelt costume is composed of the absolute necessities to embark on your historical presidential adventure. The Roosevelt look consists of matching khaki jacket, pants and belt inspired by the style of the famous adventurer. Additionally, it comes with a signature blue bandanna meant to be worn tied around the neck. The President Roosevelt ensemble would not be complete without his iconic mustache as well as round spectacles. No adventurer would set out on his next expedition without a stylish hat. The Roosevelt hat is designed similarly to a panama hat made of suede material and adorned with a gold star.
If you like to learn more about this remarkable man, keep reading. For his personal life, he went through two marriages. The first one was to Alice Hathaway Lee, who died two days after the birth of their daughter, Alice. Theodore’s mother died of typhoid fever that same day. His second marriage was to Edith Kermit Carow. They had five children. He spent two years as a rancher in the Dakota Territory where he gained a love for the beauty of nature. He served in many public offices, namely: state legislator, Republican minority leader, Civil Service Commissioner, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Vice President and President. During the conflict between the Cubans and the Spanish, he formed and rode with a cavalry unit known as the Rough Riders.
Teddy accomplished many achievements in his lifetime. After living as a rancher in the Dakota Territory for about two years, Roosevelt returned to New York City. There he ran for mayor but came in last in a three-way race. After losing the race he turned to literary and historical writing. He wrote mostly biographies. He wrote about Thomas Hart Benton in l886, Governor Morris in 1888, and published the first two volumes of his well-researched Winning of the West in 1889.
Then Teddy ran as William McKinley’s Vice Presidential running mate in 1900. Following the assassination of McKinley he became the President of the United States. He made many great accomplishments during his time as President. During his presidency the Panama Canal was completed. The armed forced were greatly expanded and through Roosevelt’s negotiations the United States became a world presence by establishing bases all over the world. The U.S. Forest Service was established and was instrumental in preserving many wilderness places in the U.S. This was especially important to Roosevelt because of the love he had gained for the out of door while he lived in the West. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in negotiating between the Japanese and the Russians during their war. The Food and Drug Administration was established to improve the conditions of food preparations. He raised the Presidency back to the level of Lincoln.
And possibly his greatest achievement was that of family man and humanitarian. His love for his first wife was shown in how deeply he grieved for her after her death. He also had high regard for his second wife. Of her he said, “Whenever I go against her judgment, I regret it.” He raised six children, one by his first wife and five by his second. He was also a loving grandfather. The secret to his public success was his high moral values. He used his high office to curb private greed and power in a day when there was a lot of abuse by big business, waste of our natural resource, and loss of traditional values. His remarkable personality gave him his popular support. He was colorful, witty, robust, outspoken, and humane.
Teddy Roosevelt died unexpectedly in 1919 of a blood clot to the heart. He had been ill since he contracted jungle fever while in the Brazilian jungle. He was a great leader who accomplished many things during his life. He was an authors, statesman, family man and humanitarian. He loved nature, family, and life. The United States of today owes a lot to the accomplishments of this President. He made us into a world presence, preserved our natural resources, and worked for fairness in political and business practices. He was one of our greatest presidents.


This class aims at familiarizing students with both the theory behind the discipline of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and the practical process of User eXperience (UX) design. Students not only develop an awareness and appreciation of the crucial implications of good interfaces in terms of overall system performance and user satisfaction, but also learn core skills needed in order to identify user requirements, envision interfaces and processes, and evaluate competing design options. Students will work in small teams of 3-5 to drive a design project from start to finish. Core skills are introduced in hands-on classes, interspersed with lectures and discussions about the underlying theory.
Definitions and Formalisms;
User requirement Gathering and Analysis;
Focus Groups, Interviews and Questionnaires;
Scenario Based Approach;
Use of Metaphors and Models;
Mock-ups and Prototypes;
Heuristic vs. Empirical;
Students will be encouraged to take an active role and explore the importance of HCI on software design, development, testing and evaluation. Classes will alternate traditional lecture based ones with problem based learning sessions when students will be working in small groups to find solutions to problems generated by poor interface design.
The course textbook is
- The UX Book: Process and Guidelines for Ensuring a Quality User Experience; Rex Hartson and Pardha Pyla; Morgan Kaufmann, 2012, ISBN: 0123852412.
However, students are encouraged to also look at other textbooks in his area, including:
- Carroll, J., M. (2002) Human-computer interaction in the new millennium, Addison Wesley
- Carroll, J., M. (2003) HCI Models, Theories, and Frameworks: Toward a Multidisciplinary Science (Interactive Technologies)
- Lazar J. Dr.. (2007) Universal Usability: Designing Computer Interfaces for Diverse User Populations, John Wiley and Sons.

Vichar Sagar of Nischal Das - Hindi Text & English Translation
An English translation of popular Vedantic text "Vichar Sagar" (Hindi) of Nishchal Dasji (1791-1863), by Lala Sreeram.
The English translation is titled "Metaphysics of the Upanishads". Vichar Sagar has been so popular in northern parts of country that it has been used for daily reading for more than centuries by common man who did not have access to Sanskrit scriptures of Vedanta.
Nischal Dasji, who was a Dadu panthi sadhu, had authored many books dealing with Vedanta. Vichara Sagara is the most popular among them. This book is very useful for understanding various prakriyas of Vedanta.

No doubt summer reading is one of the most important activities kids can do in the summer for their own academic achievement. However, for many students, especially students in low-income family households, summer reading rarely occurs for one very strong reason........and this reason is LACK OF BOOKS in the home. So, if students had more access to books in the summer, they would read more? YES!
The number of books in the home is one of key factors in the difference between high-performing schools and low-performing schools, not other factors that you might think like...great teachers, or the intervention program, or the phonics curriculum, or the kind of comprehension strategy instruction provided, nope! Out of 42 factors, the #1 factor is the number of books in the home, and the #2 factor is the number parents involved AT school, yep, Parent Involvement in the school. So with that said, why aren't we putting more eggs in the "books in the home" and "parent involvement" baskets when it comes to increasing long-term reading achievement??? IDK. We should.
Simply, students from low-income families don't not read over the summer because they don't not want to read, they just don't have anything TO read. So, what can we do to get these kids more books in the home over summer, and throughout the year, to help build a "scholarly culture of reading" in EVERY household....not just the affluent and academic households. It begins with figuring out ways to help kids and parents access books. Period.
In my Periscope this morning I shared 10 strategies for making summer reading stick for kids over the summer. You can watch it below. Also the handouts I discuss in video are linked below as well.

Also, if you are interested, I wrote a blog post about Summer Reading last year.

Round table in English with simultaneous translation into French
Psychiatry and Human Rights: Recent developments
Wednesday, July 4, 2018 at 19h
Uni Mail, Room MR380
Issues of patient care, freedom and restraint have accompanied the history of psychiatry since its inception. Similarly, its role as an actor in social control has constantly evolved according to place and time. But what about today? Since 2006, the UN and WHO have published three major documents in the field of patients' rights in psychiatry. The philosophy of care advocated in these documents aims to de-stigmatize mental illness and defend human rights. It promotes the sharing of knowledge and values autonomy, consent, recovery and reintegration into society. However, on the ground, the implementation of these recommendations faces many obstacles. To discuss these issues, this round table brings together psychiatrists as well as renowned international experts and representatives of patients and their families, who, after all, remain the primarily concerned by these ethical issues.

In these difficult times, with little or no possibility to hold live seminars, many companies and institutions offer various forms of online training. Dates of online training sessions may not always suit everyone, so recordings of these events are often posted additionally on the Internet, or a number of pre-prepared tutorials on selected topics are offered. In this article, we would like to present an overview of training sessions for how to use selected e-resources and databases.
Let’s start off with a couple of useful tips:
- An overview of databases subscribed by VŠB-TUO is available on the Central Library website. They can be sorted alphabetically, thematically or by type.
- All registered library users, VŠB-TUO employees and students have access to these resources from anywhere on the Internet – see Remote Access to E-Resources.
- Information leaflets on E-Resources and EBSCO Discovery Service are available in the university repository DSpace (leaflets are only in Czech).

2018, Palgrave Macmillan
This book studies the economic growth and development of four Visegrad economies (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia) between 1995-2014. The author uses a neoclassical growth model with distortions (wedges) to identify the main sources of economic growth for each of these countries including employment, human capital, capital accumulation and TFP growth. The first part of the book is structured around the concept of production function, factor inputs and growth accounting, and the second part of the book looks at selected problems related to economic developments of the analysed countries. This book combines empirical facts, data analysis and macroeconomic modelling and will appeal to those interested in convergence and growth in general, and analysts and researchers studying the Visegrad countries in particular.

March 21, 2011 § Leave a comment
If the early seventies were a mythical time for New York’s art scene, it is at the end of the decade, and at the beginning of the eighties, that Rotterdam will experience the peak of a creative season whose aura has indelibly marked the next thirty years of its history – a feeling that was still very strong when I first moved here in 2007, right in time to have a taste of the good days before the 2008 crunch hit. Patricia van Ulzen describes this phenomenon in her Imagine a Metropolis: Rotterdam’s Creative Class1979-2000 (Rotterdam: 010 Publishers, 2007), a book that draws on her PhD thesis and that somehow fluctuates between academic dissertation and journalistic report on the golden age of a city that has gone from dirty cargo port to glittering mecca of the creative industry in less than fifty years.
As an inhabitant of Rotterdam, I found van Ulzen’s story fascinating but ultimately pretty sad. She traces the history of the most important underground venues of the city, highlighting the significance these places had as incubator of spontaneous culture. She explains how Rotterdam has been for a while one of the main centres of the New Wave and Punk movements; how a depressed, dirty, raw industrial city in decay became an ideal playground for the provocations of young artists. She makes us envious of the crazy nights organized at Hal 4 by the Utopia Collective and of the sheer energy that should have animated the working sessions of iconoclastic magazine “Hard Werken”.
But, there is always a but. The fact is, all this electrifying creativity is simply not there anymore. It is not there because in time both the public administration and the market have tended to institutionalize what was a spontaneous wave that was unavoidably dampened by being put on a pedestal. The moment that the creative class ceased to be “bad, mad, and dangerous to know” it became yet one more wheel into the well-oiled apparatus of city branding. Van Ulzen does talk about this dynamic, but she tends to give a positive appraisal to the result of a thirty-year-long process that, seen from the point of view of my generation, seems to be burdened by a much more somber judgment. As the author feels that Rotterdam is a success story, she also tends to stress the importance of the grassroots initiative without seeing that the seemingly ‘spontaneous’ scene has been artificially kept alive for decades by a mixture of public funds and corporate contributions.
What one could actually read between the lines in van Ulzen’s narrative is a textbook transition from a good-oriented industry to a service-oriented one; or, the story of how an underground current of creativity became the main engine of a market shift that repositioned Rotterdam from traditional logistic hub to centre of immaterial production. Rotterdam’s Creative Class has the clear ambition to give back the ‘alternative’ scene its deserved place in the story of the construction of Rotterdam’s urban identity. It is surely a generous pursuit but also one that runs the risk of ending in a politically correct mystification that hides the fact that, after a burst of spontaneous initiative, the so-called Creative Class has simply become the handmaiden of a market-driven economy that has canned every scrap of idea into a saleable, appealing product: Rotterdam as a brand.
(about the role of architecture in all this story, posts will follow).

Yes, the name is awkward, but the content is not… Shmoop is an excellent resource for all Language Arts and United States Government and History teachers. Shmoop serves as a study resource for both students and teachers, offering condensed study guides of novels, short stories, poetry and historical eras/ topics of United States history. Shmoop’s mission is “to make learning and writing more fun in the digital age.” Shmoop is maintained by PhD and Masters students at Stanford, Harvard, and UC Berkley.
I love this site because it offers the ability to download the study guides in PDF format. Additionally, you can download information straight to an eBook reader (Kindle, Nook or other). The information is useful and yet not as encompassing as Sparknotes or Cliffnotes, and can maintain the integrity of assignments more easily. Shmoop offers a number of resources for each of its hundreds of highly-used novels, such as: Introduction, Summary, Themes, Quotes, Characters, Analysis, Study Questions (by theme), and Web Resources. For United States history or government teachers, Shmoop offers a number of resources via time period or topic. Most sections offer an Introduction, Summary & Analysis, Timeline, People, Facts, and Web Resources. Shmoop also has a subscription offering for AP test preparation that is getting great reviews ($12.95).
While on the topic, Shmoop is hosting its first poetry contest for high school students. The question requires only a 500 word (or less) response and the grand prize winner will receive an iPad (really bummed that I am not able to enter because, boy, would I love me an iPad). Entries are accepted until May 28th. Here is a link for the prompt and further information.


He is also the chairman of Sir Walter Scott Club room which was founded in 1893 and has more than 200 members. Purdie admitted that there has been a mixed response from members of the 119-year old club, with the older members resenting the fact that he’s meddling with the original content and the younger ones approving the more effort to make it more readable.
Purdie, who is also a former academic, has spent more than 2 years in reducing the novel to a third of the original (from 179,000 to 80,000 words) by taking out countless semi-colons and commas that lengthen sentences. Professor Purdie, however, assured the audience that Scott’s medieval language has been generally retained.
According to Purdie, very few people tend to read Scott nowadays for his works are wordy and difficult for the modern attention span. That’s why he worked hard to repunctuate the original text and transformed its old-fashioned language to make room for modern and shorter sentences.
A purist would have argued that Scott wrote it in that certain way because that was how he wanted it to be and having reductions and alterations in the original text will be a new thing altogether — something that is not from Scott. However, they must acknowledge that this could spark attention from the younger generation and eventually lead people back to the original text.
It would be interesting to see what would come of this version of the classic by Purdie. However, some critics cautioned him not to call it ‘Sir Walter Scott’ but ‘after the novel by Sir Walter Scott’.
Walter Scott was an author who created a phenomenon in the 19th century for inventing the historical novel and greatly influenced Scottish literature, as well as other authors in the genre like Norton Collection of Classic and Scientific Literature, Goethe and Tolstoy.


As part of the Creative Learning Program in Nour Festival, renowned Syrian children’s book author and illustrator Nadine Kaadan read to students from the local Oxford Gardens Primary School her latest book Ghadan (Tomorrow), the story of a little boy living through civil war, facing the uncertainties and anxieties of many Syrian children.
In response, the children created postcards with drawings and messages of hope and support to children living the adversity of the Syrian conflict and sent them out to those currently living in refugee camps.
Kaadan was uncertain about the impact this story may have on children in the UK as she explains in her Arab British Centre blog post:
I’ve read this book to Syrian children in different circumstances – many of whom had to flee their homes and live in refugee camps to escape the war. I found that the story helped to give them a safe space to share some of their own anxieties and trauma with living through the war. At first, I was a bit worried about the idea of explaining a painful conflict to children in the UK, and wondered what their reactions would be, but I was touched to see that they arrived to the workshop with such empathy about what Syrian kids were going through.
This workshop which was held at the Damascus Room Exhibit at the Victoria and Albert Museum enabled 16 children to send out postcards to other children facing anxieties and uncertainties at refugee camps.


I must admit that the title tricked me into something. ‘They Both Die at the End’ by Adam Silvera is so revealing to the end that it is almost a provocation. And at the same time, it also made me incredibly curious, because what happens to the protagonists die? I had generally heard good about the book before I sat down to read it, but I couldn’t wonder if it was a book that would take me by a storm or if I would end up thinking it was a little overrated.
Mateo is called a little over midnight by a Death-Cast employee and is told he will die today. Another place in town gets Rufus the same message. The two teenagers do not know each other, but the common destiny – that they must die today – ends up bringing them together and getting them on a journey they had not thought possible. Because can you really learn so much about yourself and life when you only have a few hours left to live in?
It’s a very exciting premise – what will you do on the last day you live, and how will you react to your family and friends? Do you want to keep them close to you, or will you push them away from you so they won’t see you die? It gets the book well-lit up based on the protagonists’ actions and not least by persons who appear in some chapters.
Unfortunately, I didn’t think the story was as touching as I had hoped for. First of all, the book is too long in relation to what history can bear, and it lacked depth. In addition, the relationship between the two boys quickly developed to be so close that it seemed unreliable and it seemed to be forced.
Are you into youth books that are bursting with life and hope but which can also hurt a little, then this book may be for you?

Installation, dimensions variable; 2010
Ink and aquarelle on index cards, size of each card 15 x 10 cm
Drawings/paintings made on 100 year old library index cards, found in a dumpster in Rome in February 2010. My additions write over the notes, emphasizing the interpretative aspect of both visual art and scientific research. Both employ fragments from which a "greater picture" evolves.
Kaisu Koivisto: Index
As a visual artist I mostly employ salvaged and recycled materials such as old leather jackets for my installations and objects. The process of locating materials includes also “random treasures” found on the streets, dumpsters or second hand stores; or, gifts from people who know my interests.
In spring 2010 I spent five months in Rome at the Finnish Institute. While curiously exploring historical sites and neighborhoods I happened to find amid rubbish - as an “archeologist of the present” - boxes which contained old library index cards. After consulting historians it became evident that the index cards are approximately hundred years old. The cards deal mostly with books on the Italian Risorgimento of the 19th century, an ideological and literary movement to unite a nation which was dominated by several states. Some titles on the index cards refer to medicine and classical literature.
The function of library index cards is to organize information by a set of rules, for example by arranging the titles of the works in alphabetical order by the names of the authors. Out of its context, the postcard-sized (15 x 10 cm) cards, executed in beautiful calligraphy on various kinds of paper, became a starting point for a quest to make a work which comments the fragmentary, contextualizing and additive nature of history, and, narratives in general. I used ink and water color to make figures on the cards, the end result resembling the arbitrary images of a Rorschach-test in which one can recognize shapes and figures by free association.
Contemporary academic discourse on visual art images often refers to images as “texts” which are “read”. By adding one more layers on the index cards I seek to emphasize the interpretative and imaginative aspect of both visual art and scientific research. Both employ fragments and interpretation of multi-layered information from which a greater picture evolves. The result is often a mosaic-like entity which is subject to re-interpretation due to the shifting focus of interests and discourses.
The works made on index cards also manifest the passage of time and processes. I use the drawings as still images for a video animation, in which each drawing is a layer in a cumulating sequence of images/information.
I believe it is not crucial for the spectator to know fully about the political and historical subject matters stated on the cards. The textual information and my additions are melded into an image, in which the textual information is often surpassed by the visual cues, which extend the horizons of the imagination. The text, or parts of the text, is still visible on some of the cards, implying thus the political aspect of the making of a nation.
In addition to the postcard-sized index cards I found smaller cards the sizes of which are 9,5 x 6,5 cm and 13,5 x 7 cm. On these cards I made other works. One of them emphasizes the classifying nature of language and writing: I imposed grid-like ink drawings on the writing to emphasize or delete information. Another version is a lighthearted juxtaposition of dots, which encircle or eliminate words.
Each card 9,5 x 6,5 cm
Size of each card: 10 x 15 cm

The birds lived in the Hercynian Forest, which was a massive stretch of woodland in southern Germany, east of the Rhine river. While much of the forest has since been destroyed, the modern day Black Forest is a remnant of the western portion.
Travelers through the forest at night would often look to the ercinee for guidance, because their brilliant feathers shone through the darkness. The light from even their individual feathers was so bright that they were placed on paths, lighting the way through the woods.
Anthropological information Edit
At some point in time the ercinee became conflated with the Bohemian waxwing, also called the Bohemian Jay. This is possibly traced to Thomas Bartholin, who described the two in proximity to one another and added that the waxwing's wing and tail tips glimmered faintly in the night.

In one way, every day is Nevada Day at the Browsers Corner Book Store in Carson City.
Walking past the DVDs and CDs, the community bulletin board on the wall and through a room with volumes on art and cooking, you’ll come to Room #4 and a corner designated for books on Nevada and the West.
There you’ll find a few shelves with bargain books that tell the history of the Silver State and the western United States from every angle imaginable — miners, cowboys, Native Americans, outlaws, preachers.
As the capital city and the rest of the state prepare to celebrate Nevada’s admission to the Union on Oct. 26 every year, interest in the past piques. And while the Carson City Public Library on the other side of Washington Street has a large collection of Nevada books to lend, Browsers Corner offers the chance to buy books to own for yourself — for $2 or $3 each.
All the books in the store are donated — including some prized editions from Carson City’s many history buffs.
“The most outstanding thing about this is that we’re dependent on the community for our entire inventory, and there’s such a wide variety of interests in our community that we are able to offer these books,” said Phyllis Patton, former president of the Friends of the Carson City Library, which operates the bookstore to raise money for the library.
A few shelves feature selections from the Convis Collection, part of the 3,000-some books about the West donated by 92-year-old author Charles L. Convis before he moved to California to be closer to children.
“He contacted us and wanted us to know he had a collection of books that he wanted to find a home for,” recalled bookstore manager Patti Ferguson. It turned out to be a garage-full, and the Browsers Corner volunteers have been putting them out for sale a few at a time.
In fact, regular visitors to the Nevada and the West section know that the store cycles books on and off the shelves regularly so there’s some fresh offerings to browse.
On one day, those included some mint-condition coffee-table books such as:
- “The West: An Illustrated History” by Geoffrey C. Ward
- “The American Frontier: Pioneers, Settlers and Cowboys 1800-1899”
- “The Other Nevada II,” featuring paintings by noted Nevada artist Fred Boyce
Some coffee-table books can cost a bit more than the regular prices. But there are plenty of good reads to be found.
For the real students of Nevada history, for example, there was a volume of “Nevada Readings and Perspectives,” a 1997 compilation from the Nevada Historical Society that contains such gems as a 1968 essay by Grace Dangberg on the Paiute spiritual leader known as Wovoka.
If you want to dive into history in honor of Nevada Day or any other day of the year, said Patton, “Here is a good place to start.”

AN UPDATE, NOVEMBER 24, 2015:
As a former museum curator, I’m very aware of the ways in which we “curate” history—choosing which facts to preserve and glorify, and which to overlook or cast away.
When I first wrote the post below, in 2012, I hadn’t ever actually sat down and read the first-year journals of the settlers at Plymouth. And when I finally did, this year, I realized I’d perpetuated that curation here—repeating the details most commonly shared, and ignoring the rest. Telling half of the story.
So I’d like to fix that.
Karl Jacoby, in this excellent article in the L.A. Times, touches on the moment in 1621 when the surviving Plymouth colonists and their Indigenous neighbours “feasted” together in what is traditionally viewed as the first Thanksgiving.
But he also reminds us that “American holidays…sometimes reveal more about what we have forgotten about the past than what we remember.”
And here’s what we’ve “forgotten”—what I left out of my first post. Here’s what the Pilgrim Fathers (with my ancestors among them) did in November 1620, a year before that “first Thanksgiving”, as recorded in their own words in A Relation or Journal of the Proceedings of the Plantation Settled at Plymouth in New England, printed in London in 1622.
On first arriving in America, they went ashore at Cape Cod. Finding spots where the “Indians” had buried something, they dug and found a kettle full of corn, and after some discussion took the kettle and its contents for themselves.
A short while later they went back to that same spot and dug again and found more corn, “two or three baskets full of Indian wheat, and a bag of beans, with a good many of fair wheat ears.” They took it all.
Venturing further along the paths, they found “a place like a grave…and resolved to dig it up”. It was indeed a grave, carefully prepared with mats and painted boards, containing “bowls, trays, dishes, and such like trinkets” and “two bundles, the one bigger, the other less.” The bigger bundle contained “the bones and skull of a man”, so they “opened the less bundle likewise, and found…the bones and head of a little child, about the legs, and other parts of it was bound strings, and bracelets of fine white beads; there was also by it a little bow, about three quarters long, and some other knacks; we brought sundry of the prettiest things away with us, and covered the corpse up again.” After this bit of grave robbery, they went back to digging in hopes of finding more buried food.
They also found “two houses, which had been lately dwelt in, but the people were gone”. Gone so quickly, in fact, they’d left food and belongings behind them (they were probably hiding in the safety of the trees, watching the settlers steal their hard-earned winter food stores and desecrate their loved ones’ graves).
The Englishmen rifled the contents of the houses. “Some of the best things we took away with us,” the journal notes.
My ancestors were part of that.
This past year here in Canada, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission—charged with acknowledging and recording the voices of those bearing witness to the harm done across seven generations by our brutal residential school system—presented its report and set out its calls to action aimed at “establishing new relationships embedded in mutual recognition and respect that will forge a brighter future” between Canadians and those of the Indigenous nations upon whose lands we settled.
Reconciliation is a process, and a long one, but it starts with truth.
While I admire the courage and resourcefulness of my Mayflower ancestors, I’m not proud of all of their actions. For those who were living here when they arrived, their arrival was nothing to celebrate.
So when I tell the story of the “first Thanksgiving” to my children, I believe I ought to tell the whole of it—the good parts and the bad. Not only the “feast” of 1621, but the events of the November before that, when my ancestors stole “trinkets” from a child’s grave, helped themselves to whatever they wanted from somebody’s house, and dug up all the food someone else had worked hard to grow, harvest, and store, without caring what hardships that great theft might cause. I’ll always wonder just how many people sickened from starvation, and how many died, because my ancestors had carried off that food.
It’s still my family in that painting. I still honour them, and part of who and what they were has travelled down to me. But truth is truth. I couldn’t, in good conscience, let this post stand without telling it.
THE ORIGINAL POST:
|"The First Thanksgiving at Plymouth" by Jennie A. Brownscombe Wikimedia Commons|
One of the advantages of having been born into a family of amateur genealogists (apart from the travel this inevitably requires—much of it to reading rooms and graveyards, to be sure, but still, it's travel) is the fact that "history" isn't something chronicled in books, to me. It's something that once happened to my family.
The Battle of Waterloo? A member of my family was there, with the British Army. The American Revolution? I had family on both sides of that one, in New York and Boston, the conflict dividing our family enough that some members moved north into Canada. And in 1215, when King John put his signature to Magna Carta in front of the barons, his half-brother (also my ancestor) William Longespée was most likely nearby, being one of the powerful few in the realm who stayed loyal to John.
So today, on American Thanksgiving (which is what we here in Canada call it, to keep it distinct from our country's own Thanksgiving Day in October) I'm thinking, as usual, not of the history books, but of my family.
"Mayflower in Plymouth Harbor,"
by William Halsall Wikimedia Commons
I also like to think of what they've given me, those distant men and women; not only what they might have passed down to me in my genes, but what examples they have left me by their actions.
John Howland, for instance, fell right off the Mayflower. During the crossing, in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, the Pilgrims encountered a fierce storm that went on for days, and John Howland, on deck, was swept overboard. George F. Willison, in his book Saints and Strangers, uses passages from the contemporary account of Governor William Bradford to tell the tale:
"The ship happened to be trailing some of the topsail halyards and Howland managed to get hold of these and hang on ‘though he was sundrie fadoms under water’ till he was pulled in with a boat hook. He was ‘something ill with it, yet he lived many years after, and became a profitable member both in church & commone wealthe.’”To me, he's always stood as an example of tenacity—a useful trait for writers. Whenever things seem difficult and I feel at the end of my rope, I think of young John Howland literally at the end of his, "sundrie fadoms under water" in the middle of the ocean, never letting go. If I've inherited anything at all from him, it may be that ability to just hang on, and not give up, which through the years has stood me in good stead.

"Edward Doty was noted for his belligerence. On 18 June 1621, he fought the first—and only—duel in Plymouth Colony. His opponent was his fellow-servant, Edward Leister; and their weapons were swords and daggers. "
The men wounded one another before being separated and punished by their fellow colonists, and Doty went on to face numerous lawsuits for varied offences from slander to assault, although that same book does also say:
"Nevertheless, by the time of his death, Edward Doty had achieved a substantial measure of material success. He left to his family an estate that compared favorably with those of men who had more to begin with than the one-time servant..."
Well, OK. I am stubborn, and nothing if not argumentative. Maybe those traits have come down to me from Edward Doty. But stubbornness can be a positive trait, if it's turned to a drive to succeed. And although I don't think I'll be throwing a gauntlet down anytime soon, I do fight when I need to, for what I believe in, and maybe that's what he did, too.
All three of my male Mayflower ancestors—John Howland, Edward Doty, and John Tilley—were part of the small group of passengers who volunteered, on their arrival in the New World, to go explore the bay and settle on a landing-place. This they did in winter, in a small boat, in cold so brutal that one of the other men fainted from it. Being servants, there's always the chance that John Howland and Edward Doty might not have had much say in whether they joined that exploring party, but I like to think that they put up their hands and volunteered when they were needed; that they didn't run from danger and adventure, but charged headlong to meet it, and I know I could do worse in life than try to match that selflessness and courage.
John Tilley and his wife both died not long after the Pilgrims came to shore at Plymouth, but their young daughter Elizabeth Tilley, and her future husband John Howland, and the "belligerent" Edward Doty all survived.
“The First Thanksgiving”,by J.L.G. Ferris Wikimedia Commons
So today, when I look at a painting like this one, I don't see the history, or faces of strangers in strange-looking hats. All I see is my family, and I feel the force of their thankfulness touch me through time. And perhaps, that's what Thanksgiving's really about.


[For the Disciple—A Guide]
"Devotion through Spiritual Knowledge."
Krishna explains that wisdom is eternal. It was first taught by him to Sages since the beginning of evolution.
Confused, Arjuna asks Krishna how it was possible for him to be so old as to be the Primeval Teacher.
Krishna speaks then of the reincarnation of the eternal Spirit in each man. It uses many bodies. Memory of the details of past lives are accessible only to a Sage, such as He. Krishna adds that He incarnates periodically when vice and evil overrun the world, and right doctrines have to be restored to open men's awareness, and serve as a guide to the goal of evolution. (Gita, p. 31)
Krishna, the Universal Spirit shows himself only to pure men. He then appears in that manner in which they may recognize him. The characters and qualities of men divide them into the four castes, not their birth. Changeless, Krishna, the Supreme Spirit, as the author of manifestation, remains unaffected by the wise or foolish actions of beings. The Wise perceive the Immutable to be present in all changes. This confirms the necessity for their continued duties in whatever is their location or condition. (Gita, p. 32)
Wisdom is discrimination between necessary and unnecessary actions. Nature is to be studied, known, regulated, and subdued. From this practice is derived contentment with one's circumstances. Every act ought to be considered sacred, and dedicated to the Supreme Spirit, which is the Unitary factor basic to all Nature. (Gita, pp. 32-4)
Sacrifice is making all actions sacred; give up self-interest. The many forms and methods of sacrifice may be found expressed in some kind of rituals, but the highest, is obtaining spiritual wisdom through study and its application in daily life. Sacrificial spiritual action purifies a man's karma and attunes his personality to the One Spirit. Spiritual knowledge, in application, receives the highest place. No action can be exempted from its purview. Krishna then advises:
"Seek this wisdom by doing service, by strong search, by questions and by humility; the wise who see the truth will communicate it unto thee, and knowing which thou shalt never again fall into error, O son of Bharata. By this knowledge thou shalt see all things and creatures whatsoever in thyself and then in me." (Gita, p. 35)
Spiritual wisdom, when adopted, clears up all errors of ignorance in the mind. It is the universal purifier. Krishna, the Supreme Spirit is perceived in all beings and in every situation by the Wise.
Wisdom springs up spontaneously in the wise man as he progresses. The one-pointed resolve to know and to act as the Supreme purifies all who adopt this discipline. Those who doubt, who are skeptical, who will not enquire into the Spirit, or study, can have no steadiness, certainty or happiness.
"No actions bind that man who through spiritual discrimination hath renounced action and cut asunder all doubt by knowledge, O despiser of wealth. Wherefore, O son of Bharata, having cut asunder with the sword of spiritual knowledge this doubt which existeth in thy heart, engage in the performance of action. Arise!" (Gita, pp. 36-7)

As many people are getting back on their bikes now, I was asked to give two presentations by Jane’s Walk Ottawa and the Ottawa Public Library. Here is a short overview.
Presentation May 5, 2019: 3 pm “The Importance of a Bicycle Network”
This first presentation is outside as part of Jane’s Walk in that weekend. We are meeting at Bruce Garner’s “Joy” sculpture at 65 Sparks Street next to Escape Bicycle Tours & Rentals. We’ll walk to O’Connor, then down to Laurier, along Laurier to City Hall. From City Hall we walk to Somerset and we will end the tour at Cork Town bridge.
Along the way, I will talk about the importance of a bicycle network, discuss different types of bike infrastructure and compare some numbers. We’ll make a few stops to point out what has changed in Ottawa over the last ten years and what is yet to come. Details at the Jane’s Walk website.
I am doing the walk by foot so that people without a bike can participate and learn about the many benefits of cycling.
When: Sunday May 5 at 3 pm
Presentation May 8, 2019: noon “Everyone Can Ride a Bike”
This presentation will take place at the auditorium of the Ottawa Public Library in downtown at noon. I was invited by the library to talk during bike to work month.
I am going to explore other ways to bike than your standard road or city bike. There are many developments in cycling design allowing more and more people who were not able to bike before to start or continue to cycle.
This presentation also looks on how to get newcomers to bicycle friendly countries on a bike with the purpose of better social integration. It will have more video than usual and less talk by me. Details on the Library website.
Hope to see you out there.


The great Zen teacher Thich Nhat Hanh has written beautifully about why learning to love others begins with learning to love ourselves — a sentiment that the reactive modern cynic might dismiss as the vacant fodder of self-help books, but one which more considered reflection reveals to be deeply truthful and deeply uncomfortable. What, after all, does loving oneself even mean — particularly if we’re aspiring to be unselfish and generous, and to outgrow the illusory ego-shell we call a self?
That’s what Caribbean poet and playwright Derek Walcott (January 23, 1930–March 17, 2017) — a writer of such extraordinary poetic prowess that his 1992 Nobel Prize in Literature appears a wholly inadequate measure of his mastery and mesmerism — addresses with a luminous side-wise gleam in a poem titled “Love After Love,” found in his Collected Poems: 1948–1984 (public library).
LOVE AFTER LOVE
The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other’s welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.

“Love After Love” is an incredible poem!
Everybody should read it.
It makes me feel good!
Thanks for this post, very enlightening!

Chapter III: The Byzantine Solving Bandits
Curious, you unroll the parchment and begin to read. The story unfolds before your eyes, and you find yourself transported to another time and place, a world of cowboys, renegades, outlaws, and adventure.
The story begins with the tale of a group of bandits notorious for their ideas challenging the status quo and their fight for social and economic justice. The leader of the gang, a charismatic outlaw named Jackson Blake, was a visionary who saw the potential of a decentralised store of value to change the world. He rallied his fellow bandits around this cause, and together they set out to make a difference.
You are struck by the boldness of these bandits and you can't help but admire their ideas as you read on. It seems this group of 19th century outlaws were trying to figure out the Byzantine General problem with . They envisioned a technology that would not be possible for more than 200 years into the future.

Second Circuit Holds that Google’s Digitalization of Published Books Constitutes Fair Use
In 2004, Google began a Digital Book Project, which involved scanning books under agreements with several major research libraries and other institutional partners around the world. The Project resulted in an index of more than 20 million digitized books. The digitalization of the books allows a Google search engine to provide the public to search the books for particular words, and then to read snippets of the book where the search terms are located. Google also allows libraries participating in the Project to download the digital copies, by granting those libraries access through a Google internet portal. In 2005, several authors of copyrighted works filed a putative class action asserting that the Google Book Project infringed their copyright in their works. In 2013, the District Court granted a motion for summary judgment in favor of Google, holding that the digitalization of the books and the resulting limited search capability constitutes “fair use”, protected by Section 107 of the Copyright Act.
In affirming the District Court’s decision, the Second Circuit looked at the four factor test of “fair use” described in Section 107 and determined that it was met by Google with regard to the Digital Books Project. The Second Circuit held that Google had not usurped the market for derivatives of these works, and the application of search and snippet view functions with regard to the works was sufficiently transformative not to violate the copyright of authors. The Court also found that Google’s allowance of access of digitized copies of the scanned books to libraries, with the understanding that the libraries would use the copies in a manner consistent with the Copyright Act, was not an infringement. The Court also held that Google cannot be considered a contributory infringer. Authors Guild. v. Google, Inc., 2015 WL 6079426 (2d Cir. Oct. 16, 2015).
