Witness to the Revolution: Stanley Beaman & Sears: Twenty-Five Years
Tuesday, June 12th, 2018
An ongoing revolution in the design of facilities for healthcare, higher education, research and the arts has transformed the way we experience them, and Stanley Beaman & Sears: Twenty-Five Years gives readers a front-row seat for the action. The 220-page illustrated book, published by Visual Profile Books, follows the ascent of Stanley Beaman & Sears, the award-winning Atlanta architecture firm founded in 1992 by three young architects, Kimberly Stanley, AIA, Betsy Beaman, AIA, IIDA, SEGD, and Burn Sears, AIA. Readers are invited to accompany the partners and their colleagues as they take on some of the most challenging building types of our time and make them more user-friendly, intuitive and effective than ever.
Why did Stanley, Beaman and Sears set the bar so high? Many architects dream of launching their careers with more glamorous, photogenic and visible commissions. But as Beaman has stated, “Kim, Burn and I wanted to concentrate on building types that housed civilization’s great institutions. Given our complementary skills, we believed we could make a difference in such demanding fields as healthcare, education and the arts.” The partners’ 30-plus-year friendship and professional association has more than fulfilled their high hopes with work that is equally admired for creative solutions and exciting spaces.
In project after project, the large format book uses concise case studies and superb color photography to bring to life the work of a design firm combining architecture, interior design and environmental graphic design in an open, collaborative and multi-disciplinary practice run by a “family of creative thinkers.” The results include life changing, technically advanced and beautifully crafted hospitals, children’s hospitals, clinics, senior centers, classroom buildings, research laboratories, arts centers and museums. While their architecture is striking and sympathetic to the surroundings, the big surprises unfold inside, where occupants and visitors are greeted by truly innovative and inspiring environments.
At Children’s Hospital of Georgia, located in Augusta, the healing environment is defined by soaring architecture and an innovative interior where video technology educates and entertains children and families. The H.J.C. Bowden Senior Multipurpose Facility, located in suburban Atlanta, uses a bold, contemporary structure to defy the stereotypes of aging. Residents of Adamsville see the Adamsville Regional Health Center as a vital source of healthcare and social services--and an inspiring symbol of community vitality. An angular geometry of glass, metal and masonry at the Bernard A. Zuckerman Museum of Art proudly proclaims the arrival of a compellingly original home for art on the Kennesaw State University campus. These and many other outstanding projects make Stanley Beaman & Sears: Twenty-Five Years a colorful, informative and exhilarating exploration of imaginative contemporary architecture and design where we seldom expect to find it.


What a month! 815 million records were added to MyHeritage in the month of February 2020: 545 million records from U.S. City Directories, 250 million of inventors of historical patents, 6.9 million from Canadian newspapers from 1752–2007, 4.7 million of famous people throughout history, 3.4 million from the Minnesota Birth Index 1900–1934, and 4.5 million from the Minnesota Death Index 1904–2001. This update brings the total number of historical records in MyHeritage SuperSearch to 11.9 billion.
Here is a list of the new collections:
|Collection||Description||Number of Records||Link to Search|
U.S. City Directories
|A huge collection of historical U.S. city directories produced from 25,000 public U.S. city directories published between 1860 and 1960.||545,346,859 records||Search collection now|
Inventors of historical patents
|An index of inventors of historical patents issued around the world.||250,469,807 records||Search collection now|
Canada Newspapers, 1752-2007
|A compendium of newspapers published in various cities and towns across Canada from 1752 to 2007.||6,961,070 records||Search collection now|
Famous People Throughout History
|This collection contains biographical summaries of millions of notable people from around the world.||4,700,220 records||Search collection now|
Minnesota, Birth Index, 1900-1934
|This collection contains an index to birth records from Minnesota from 1900 to 1934.||3,406,802 records||Search collection now|
Minnesota, Death Index, 1904-2001
|This collection includes an index of death records from Minnesota from 1904 to 2001.||4,460,579 records||Search collection now|
City directories contain an alphabetical list of adult residents and heads of household, often with their spouse, with addresses and occupations and additional information. This collection is a huge compilation from 25,468 city directories published in 1860–1960 across the United States, created exclusively by MyHeritage using advanced machine learning technologies. It comprises 1.3 billion individual records, which were consolidated to hundreds of millions of aggregated records, each featuring the same individual who lived in the same set of addresses during a span of years. The consolidation reduces duplication and makes this collection particularly easy and convenient to navigate.
Example: Thomas A. Edison, widely regarded as one of the greatest American inventors, is listed in the Fort Myers city directory along with his second wife, Mina, from 1921, 1925–1926, and 1927, as living at 606 McGregor Boulevard, where his occupation is listed as inventor. Edison invented the electric light bulb, the phonograph, and the motion picture camera. He established his first laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey, but later moved down to Fort Myers and opened a botanic laboratory.
Learn more about the U.S. City Directories in this in-depth blog post.
This free collection of 4.7 million records contains biographical summaries of notable people from around the world. Living and deceased persons detailed in this collection include, among others, actors, musicians, authors, inventors, artists, and politicians.
Records may contain the following searchable information: names (including aliases as well as names in non-Latin scripts), birth dates and places, marriage dates and places, death dates and places, names of relatives, names of spouses and former spouses, and names of children. Occupations, burial places, and descriptions may also be found in some of the records.
This collection is a vast index of inventors of patents issued around the world. The most common countries of origin are the United States, Japan, and China, which together constitute more than half of the collection. Records may contain the following searchable information: first and last name of the owner or co-owner of the patent, the country where the patent was published, and the date of publication. The following may also be found in most records: title, abstract, publication number, filing date, and the assignee.
Example: Jonas Edward Salk, the prolific American medical researcher and virologist who discovered and developed one of the first successful polio vaccines, refused to patent it, saying “Does one patent the sun?” He believed public health should be considered a “moral commitment.” and had no interest in personal profit. His later studies, however — research to develop a vaccine for AIDS as part of the Immune Response Corporation — were patented and can be found in this collection.
Bonus: you can find in this collection a patent granted to famous genealogist Randall (Randy) Seaver in 1984, describing a thrust reversing system for controlling the fan gases from a thrust producing aircraft engine.
This collection is a compendium of newspapers published in various cities and towns across Canada from 1752 to 2007 in the English language. It includes many localities prior to the Canadian confederation in 1867. Newspapers are an important resource for genealogy and family history research as they contain obituaries and other vital record substitutes such as birth, marriage, and death notices. Additionally, society pages and stories of local interest contain rich information on activities and events in the community and often provide details about the persons involved.
This collection contains an index to birth records from Minnesota from 1900 to 1934. Information may include: first name, middle name, and last name of the child. It may also include the date and county of birth, and certificate number. In some cases, the mother’s maiden name is also available.
Birth certificates were used to record birth information beginning in 1907. When a child was born, a physician or midwife compiled information about the child on a birth certificate. The certificate was registered with the local county registrar. Birth cards were used to collect birth information from 1900 to 1907. Unlike birth certificates, many birth cards were not filled out completely. 80% of this collection takes place between 1907–1937, 19% is from 1900–1907, and 1% is from before 1900.
This collection includes an index of death records from Minnesota, from 1904 to 2001. Information may include the name of the deceased, their date of death, county of death, date of birth, county of birth and certificate number. It may also include the mother’s maiden name when available.
Information for the years 1908–2001 is recorded from death certificates as recorded by a physician or a mortician. Information in this collection for years prior to 1908 is taken from death cards. Unlike death certificates, many death cards were not filled out completely. Cards, especially for the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, frequently contain little more information than the name of the deceased, date of death, sex, marital status, birthplace, cause of death, and person reporting the death.
Searching these collections on MyHeritage SuperSearch is free, and you can also view records from the free collections for free. To view records from the paid collections, or to save records from all collections to your family tree, you’ll need a Data or Complete subscription.
If you have a family tree on MyHeritage, our Record Matching technology will notify you automatically if records from these collections match your relatives. You’ll then be able to review the record and decide if you’d like to add the new information to your tree.
Enjoy the new collections!

Love and Famine
A forthcoming true-fiction, historical novel by Han-ping Chin
A 9th-grader, Dapeng Liu, greets the 1949 communist victory in China with awe and confusion. While trying to shed old traditions and fit into the revolution, he’s constantly caught between incomprehensible reality and his conscience. Amid his struggles with shifting political dictates, academic and financial adversity, purges, a broken marriage, and loneliness, he learns to swim in the stormy sea of Mao’s first decades in power. As his professional achievement and ideological remolding win Party favor, he quietly maps a path to a brighter future and his lost love. One of the readers dubbed it “The Chinese Dr. Zhivago.”
This coming of age story set in China from 1949-1965 during the Mao Zedong Era portrays a fate inextricably intertwined with the way Chinese people lived during the formative stage of modern China. Han-ping Chin’s historical autobiography fills the niche left by Ha Jin, winner of the National Book Award, and other modern Chinese writers.
Love and Famine
by Han-ping Chin
Release date: September 8, 2017
Genre: True Fiction, Immigrant Fiction, Historical Fiction, Romance, Suspense
About the Author
Han-ping Chin was born in Wuhan and driven by Japanese troops to South China, where he spent his childhood in an abandoned coalmine district, a place of poverty, plagues, and superstition. He survived the war and the diseases it spread, while five of his siblings died. From 1956 to 1978, he worked as an engineer stabilizing tunnels and dams. Traveling through the provinces and living at various construction sites, he came know the people in all parts of China. In an era when propaganda replaced entertainment and friendships turned into political liabilities, he spent most of my spare time alone with the Chinese classics.
He came to the US as one of the first 52 PRC exchange scholars in 1978. Later, he received his PhD from the Mechanical Engineering Department at UC Berkeley, and registered as a civil engineer in California. Exposed to Western society and history that was heavily censored in China, he was forced to face the emotions, feelings, and memories of his earlier life that he’d thought long-since extinguished. An urge to offer a glimpse of an ancient, vanishing world to Western readers and younger generations of Chinese has lured him from his engineering profession. He’s been writing for the past thirty years, and his short stories have appeared in The Partisan Review and Willow Springs.

Word from Fantasy Federation
Beren was the last survivor of a group of Men led by his father Barahir that had still resisted Morgoth, the Dark Enemy, after the Battle of Sudden Flame, in which Morgoth had conquered much of northern Middle-earth. After the defeat of his companions he fled from peril into the elvish realm Doriath. There he met Lúthien, the only daughter of King Thingol and Melian the Maia, as she was dancing and singing in a glade. Seeing the beautiful Elf, Beren fell in love with her, for she was the fairest of all Elves and Men. She later fell in love with him as well, when he, moved by her beauty and enchanting voice, gave her the nickname "Nightingale." As Thingol disliked Beren and regarded him as being unworthy of his daughter, he set a seemingly impossible task on Beren that he had to achieve before he could marry Lúthien. Thingol asked Beren to bring him one of the Silmarils, the three hallowed jewels made by Fëanor, which Morgoth had stolen from the Elves.
Beren left Doriath and set out on his quest to Angband, the enemy’s fortress. Although Thingol tried to prevent it, Lúthien later followed him. On his journey to the enemy’s land Beren reached Nargothrond, an Elvish stronghold, and was joined by ten warriors under the lead of King Finrod, who had sworn an oath of friendship to Beren's father. Although Fëanor’s sons, Celegorm and Curufin, warned them not to take the Silmaril that they considered their own, the company was determined to accompany Beren. On their way to Angband they were seized by the servants of Sauron, despite the best efforts of Finrod to maintain their guise as Orcs, and imprisoned in Tol-in-Gaurhoth. One by one they were killed by a werewolf until only Beren and Finrod remained. When the wolf went for Beren, Finrod broke his chains and wrestled with it such fierceness that they both died.
When she was following Beren, Lúthien was captured and brought to Nargothrond by Celegorm and Curufin. Aided by Huan, Celegorm’s hound (which according to prophecy could only be defeated by the greatest werewolf ever), she was able to flee. With his aid she came to Sauron’s fortress where Huan defeated the werewolves of the Enemy, Draugluin, and Sauron himself in wolf-form. Then they freed the prisoners, among them Beren.
Beren wanted to try his task once more alone, but Lúthien insisted on coming with him. Through magic they took the shapes of the bat Thuringwethil and the wolf Draugluin that Huan had killed. Thereby they were able to enter the enemy’s land and at last came to Angband and before Morgoth’s throne. There Lúthien sang a magical song which made the Dark Lord fall asleep; then Beren cut a Silmaril from Morgoth’s crown. As he tried to cut out the others, his knife broke and a shard glanced off Morgoth's face, awakening him. As they attempted to leave, the gate was barred by Carcharoth, a giant werewolf, who was bred as an opponent to Huan. He bit off and swallowed Beren’s hand, in which Beren was holding the Silmaril. Carcharoth was burned by the pure light of the Silmaril and ran off madly.
Beren and Lúthien returned to Doriath, where they told of their deeds and thereby softened Thingol’s heart. He accepted the marriage of his daughter and the mortal Man, although Beren’s task had not been fulfilled. Beren and Huan participated in the hunt for Carcharoth, who in his madness had come into Doriath and caused much destruction there. Both of them were killed by the wolf, but Carcharoth was also slain. Before he died, Beren handed the Silmaril, which was recovered from Carcharoth's belly, to Thingol.
Grieving for Beren, Lúthien also died, and came to the halls of Mandos. There she sang of her ill fate, that she would never again see Beren, who as a mortal Man had passed out of the world. Thereby Mandos was moved to pity. He restored Beren and Lúthien to life and granted mortality to the Elf. Lúthien left her home and her parents and went to Ossiriand with Beren. There they dwelt for the rest of their lives, and both eventually died the death of mortal Men.
After the recovery of the Silmaril by Beren and Lúthien, many people of Middle-earth sought to possess it, and there was war between the Sindar, the Noldor and the Dwarves, in which the Sindar were defeated. The Silmaril was taken by Eärendil, who sailed to Valinor with it and persuaded the Valar to make war on Morgoth, which led to the latter's defeat in the War of Wrath.
The marriage of Beren and Lúthien was the first of the three unions of a mortal Man and an Elf, of which came the Half-elven, those who had both elven and human ancestors. Like Lúthien, they were given the choice of being counted among either Elves or Men. The extended live-action film of The Fellowship of the Ring would make this connection through a song Aragorn sings at night in Elvish. When questioned by Frodo, he simply explains that it relates to an Elven woman who gave up her immortality for the love of a man.
The Tale of Beren and Lúthien was regarded as the central part of his legendarium by Tolkien. The story and the characters reflect the love of Tolkien and his wife Edith. Particularly, the event when Edith danced for him in a glade with flowering hemlocks seems to have inspired his vision of the meeting of Beren and Lúthien. Also some sources indicate that Edith's family disapproved of Tolkien originally, due to his being a Catholic. On Tolkien's grave, J. R. R. Tolkien is referred to as Beren and Edith is referred to as Lúthien.
The tale of Beren and Lúthien also shares an element with folktales such as the Welsh Culhwch and Olwen, maybe its main literary inspiration, and the Germans The Devil With the Three Golden Hairs and The Griffin— namely, the disapproving parent who sets a seemingly impossible task (or tasks) for the suitor, which is then fulfilled. The hunting of Carcharoth the Wolf may be inspired by the hunting of the giant boar Twrch Trwyth in Culhwch and Olwen or other hunting legends. The quest for one of the three Silmarils from the Iron Crown of Morgoth has a close parallel in the search for the three golden hairs in the head of the Devil. The sequence in which Beren loses his hand to the Wolf may be inspired by the god Tyr and the wolf Fenrir, characters in Norse mythology.

the column of lasting insignificance...
Beginning next week and in the 50 weeks following, John Wilcock's autobiography Manhattan Memories will be serialized in this space. The 260-page book is available amazon.com.
Manhattan Memories begins right here with the Preface by the late Martin Gardner.
A GOOD WAY to describe John Wilcock is to say that he is a talented bohemian counter-culture journalist who once played a major role in the emergence of America’s underground press. Born 1927 in Sheffield, England, he left school aged 16 to work on various newspapers in England, and on Toronto periodicals before moving to New York City. There in 1955 he became one of the five founders of the Village Voice in which he and co-founder Norman Mailer wrote weekly columns. Wilcock called his column “The Village Square”, an intended pun. He and young Mailer were not quite friends, although Wilcock was at times annoyed, but always amused, by Mailer’s monstrous ego.
After ten years with the Voice, Wilcock broke with the paper to edit a rival publication, the East Village Other, and then to publish his own tabloid, Other Scenes. They were the city’s first underground papers, covering all the topics The New York Times would consider unfit to print. Later he worked with similar papers popping up in London, Los Angeles and Tokyo.
For three years Wilcock was a travel editor at the New York Times and his subsequent journeys here and there produced a raft of popular travel guides. Two of his other books are of special interest: The Autobiography and Sex Life of Andy Warhol had a sparse print run but today a copy sells for more than a hundred dollars; Popes and Anti-Popes presents an unvarnished view of Roman Catholicism.
In 2001 Wilcock, by then divorced, retired to a cottage in Ojai, CA, where he started a curious, little magazine called the Ojai Orange. It publishes bits and pieces about anything of interest to him at the moment, which in 2006 included my letter complaining that New Yorker cartoons are not funny any more.
Now writing a whimsical weekly “column of lasting insignificance” on his website, Wilcock appeared briefly in the Huffington Post, quitting when he realized how much his factual column was at odds with the predominance of opinion essays there. A 1973 profile in the New York Times tagged him “an influential man nobody knows” and a similar profile in a London magazine pegged him as “a man with an ability to make no money”.
The book you are now about to read contains colorful interviews with such notables as Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich, Milton Berle, Steve Allen and Bob Dylan. Other well-known personalities who appear in Wilcock’s memoirs include Leonard Bernstein, Rock Hudson, Timothy Leary, Jane Fonda, Larry Adler, Lenny Bruce, Jean Shepherd, Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin and the Beatles.
Several chapters cover what the author calls “the golden Soho scene” with its funky art galleries and legendary parties. There is an account of what the Manhattan art world then called “Happenings”, and a hilarious quote from a top art critic struggling to justify the grandeur of such a great work of sculpture as blocks of wood in opposite corners of a room.
Two chapters are devoted to magic, not in the conjuring sense but magic based on the paranormal. It’s a topic on which Wilcock was enough involved to participate with a self-styled witch on several lurid books. The Amazing Randi turns up in this chapter. Bending Wilcock’s key and declining to reveal how he did it.
Manhattan Memories is a fast-paced, highly entertaining narrative about the life and adventures here and abroad of a remarkable journalist who has been everywhere, done almost everything. There isn’t a dull page in the book.

It was the first handwritten letter I'd received in 5 years. Or maybe 10. Signed by John Wilcock, a man I'd never heard of, and postmarked Ojai, Calif., it was waiting for me when I returned from my São Paulo-to-New York summer trip. Mr. Wilcock wrote that he had been an assistant editor at The Times Travel section back in the 1950s, and had written the first editions of “Mexico on $5 a Day,” “Greece on $5 a Day” and “Japan on $5 a Day” for Arthur Frommer in the 1960s.
By George, I thought. This man was the original Frugal Traveler.
Forty years ago the second of my three books about magic was published, A Guide to Occult Britain (Sidgwick & Jackson) covering a wide range of sites from Stonehenge to Loch Ness and King Arthur country to the witches of Pendle Hill. It is now available as an eBook on amazon.com.
"A GOOD WAY to describe John Wilcock is to say that he is a talented bohemian counter-culture journalist who once played a major role in the emergence of America’s underground press. Born 1927 in Sheffield, England, he left school aged 16 to work on various newspapers in England, and on Toronto periodicals before moving to New York City. There in 1955 he became one of the five founders of the Village Voice in which he and co-founder Norman Mailer wrote weekly columns. Wilcock called his column “The Village Square”, an intended pun. He and young Mailer were not quite friends, although Wilcock was at times annoyed, but always amused, by Mailer’s monstrous ego."
-From the preface of Manhattan Memories, by Martin Gardner


Readers of George Orwell’s 1984 may remember that Big Brother’s society employs bureaucrats charged with deleting from the language words the government deems unsuitable. Kudos to Harvard’s Professor Alan Gribben for bringing us one step closer to the future Orwell envisioned by editing the N-word out of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. But as long as we are going to hide the ugly truth about nineteenth-century Americans and their use of that offensive word, let’s not half-step. Let’s sanitize some other inconvenient truths of American history and culture.
We could change the history books to reflect that the Plains Indians grew tired of their migratory lifestyle and petitioned the United States government to establish, and restrict them to, reservations.
Likewise, we could declare that West Coast Americans of Japanese descent demanded to be placed in protective custody during World War II.
And, while we are at it, why not revise the embarrassing history of slavery itself, recasting slaves as disadvantaged day laborers? But that would require New South Books to hold the presses and to send Orwellian “Newspeak” advocate Gribben back to the text with his blue pen. --EFP


Three men who were outcasts in their time are being honoured as the icons they are today.
William S Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac â the leaders of the Beat Generation – are each the subject of a film recently, or soon to be, released.
The Beat Generation was a group of friends first, a movement later, formed in New York, with some later migrating to San Francisco. William S Burroughs was seen as the godfather and mentor of the group, while Jack Kerouac was the spokesperson (or at least the most outspoken).
They were writers, poets and artists; bohemian hedonists who experimented with drugs, sexuality, language and life itself. They were post-WWII youth who rejected conformity and materialism; steeped in jazz, they were exuberant and unreserved in their expression and being.
The Beat Generation inspired and documented its own new culture in three key publications â Allen Ginsbergâs poem âHowlâ (1957), Jack Kerouacâs âOn The Roadâ (1958), and William S Burroughsâ âcut-upâ novel âNaked Lunchâ (1959).
The videographic tribute to Burroughs comes in the form of director Yony Leyserâs November 2010 documentary âWilliam S Burroughs â A Man Withinâ.
It brings together archival footage of interviews and other events, home-video and photographs, as well as personal insights from friends and influence-ees including Thurston Moore, Patti Smith, Gus Van Sant and David Cronenberg.
The life of Burroughs is uncovered, from his middle-class up-bringing during which we was apparently introduced to opium by the house-keeper, to his graduation from Harvard University and subsequent move to New York, his friendship with Ginsberg and Kerouac, and the spawning of a movement.
He was gay and a heavy drug user (dubbed the ‘pope of dope’) and broke boundaries with his writing on drugs and homosexual culture in books such as âJunkyâ and âQueerâ.
He was ever-resplendent in a three-piece suit, loved cats (he had at least six in his later years) and guns. Tragically, he accidentally shot and killed his wife, Joan, while demonstrating his shooting skills, William Tell-style, with a glass of gin and tonic on her head. Although a gay man, he was married and loved his wife very much.
Burroughs writing was responsible for spawning various words that are part of our lexicon today. He prophesised punk in âNaked Lunchâ, championed it in his column for Crawdaddy magazine and was lauded as its godfather at his local venue, CBGBs.
Patti Smith, who would become a regular performer at CBGBs, says: “I had a huge crush on William. I used to dream that we would get marriedâŚ He encouraged me to sing before I sang publicly.”
Director Leyser says of âA Man Withinâ: âI wanted to capture on film his life, persona and the friends he influenced. His circle of friends was incredibly diverse – rock stars, trash collectors, intellectuals, âgun nutsâ, conservatives, shamans, upper-class New Yorkers, junkies, and good corn-fed Kansans.
âThey were absurdly supportive of the film, and once they saw the progress I was making, pushed me forward with footage, introductions and incredible interviews.â
Burroughsâ novel âNaked Lunchâ is arguably his most well-known and influential work and is considered a landmark in American literature. It pioneered a new form of writing, the âcut-upâ technique (invented by his friend Brian Gysin), in which text was literally cut-up and rearranged to form new narratives. The book is made up of loosely-connected âroutinesâ that are intended to be read in any order, and which chronicle the various exploits of the central character, a junkie called William Lee.
âNaked Lunchâ was the subject of the USâs last obscenity trial, in 1962. It was later made into a film by David Cronenberg in 1991, starring Peter Weller as Burroughs.
William S Burroughs died at the age of 83 in August 1997.
The mixed-media, mixed-format film is a hybrid of drama, imagination and reality starring James Franco as Ginsberg and Aaron Tveit as his life partner, Peter Orlovsky.
It weaves three stories â the obscenity trial against the bookâs publisher, Lawrence Ferlinghetti of City Lights, a biographic portrait of Ginsberg, and a wild animated ride (designed by Ginsberg collaborator Eric Drooker) through the reading of the poem.
Court proceedings created from actual transcripts and reconstructed interviews with Ginsberg are shown in colour, while key moments â such as the infamous 1955 Six Gallery reading of the poem, and interactions with Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassidy â are shown in black and white. Archival footage is briefly inserted in reference to a line from âHowlâ (âangel-headed hipstersâ) and electro-shock therapy in reference to Ginsbergâs 8-month stay in a âloony binâ, where he met the man to whom âHowlâ is dedicated (and the recipient of said shock therapy), Carl Solomon.
Epstein says of the film: âWe set out to find a way to bring together all these different elements â the text of the poem, Ginsbergâs life and ideas, this landmark trial â to create a multi-faceted picture of âHowlâsâ creation and the worldâs response. The thrilling part was that we were inventing the form as we went along.â
The San Francisco obscenity trial in the summer of â57 debated the literary merits of Ginsbergâs four-part, 3000-word poem and particularly whether the language and themes it contained â which included homosexuality and drugs â were ânecessaryâ.
Ferlinghettiâs attorney, Jake Ehrlich (played by Jon Hamm), closed his case with the statement: âLet there be light. Let there be honesty. Let there be no running from non-existent destroyers of morals. Let there be honest understanding.”
The trial proved to be a watershed freedom of speech case. Federal Judge Clayton Horn (played by Bob Balaban) dismissed the charges: “An author should be real in treating his subject and be allowed to express his thoughts and ideas in his own words”.
Ginsberg believed the key to great literature (and what would come to typify the writing of the Beat Generation) was including the most exciting aspects of casual conversation.
He said: “We talk about who we fucked last night, or who we’re going to fuck tomorrow, when we got drunk, everyone tells ones friends about that. So the question is what happens when you make a distinction between what you tell your friends and what you tell your muse?
“The trick is to break down that distinction, to approach your muse as frankly as you would talk to yourself, or your friends; to commit to writing, to write the same way that you are.”
While âHowlâ may have been Ginsbergâs most publicised poem, he wrote many more volumes of work. But he was more than just a poet – he was a champion of social justice, a songwriter and photographer, a political agitator, a renowned teacher of poetry, a spiritual adventurer and world traveler.
Allen Ginsberg died in April 1997 at the age of 70. His partner of more than 20 years, Peter Orlovsky, died in 2010.
Third member of the vanguard of the Beat Generation, Jack Kerouac, also subscribed to the premise of real and raw writing.
His seminal book (and probably the most widely-read work of the movement) âOn The Roadâ – which is currently being adapted into a film â is just that.
Kerouac described his style as ‘spontaneous proseâ and is said to have approached the writing of âOn The Roadâ in the style of a letter to a friend, rather than a traditional novel.
The book captures on paper the energy and enthusiasm of the Beat Generation. Indeed, the draft of the novel is said to have been written in just three weeks, typed onto a continuous roll of paper 120-foot long.
‘On The Road’ takes the form of a cross-country hedonistic search for release and fulfillment, incorporating drink, drugs, sex and jazz – âWe were leaving confusion and nonsense behind and performing our one noble function of the time, move.â
The spirit of the characters â all drawn from real-life Beat figures and others met along the road â is captured by this passage: âThe only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn…”
Walter Salles (director of the Che Guevara-based âThe Motorcycle Diariesâ) has completed principal photography on a film version of the book, and it is expected to be released before the end of the year.
It stars Garrett Hedlund as Dean Moriarty (the fictionalized version of Neal Cassady), Sam Riley as Sal Paradise (Kerouac’s own fictional alter-ego), and Kristen Stewart in the role of Marylou.
Jack Kerouac died in 1969 at the age of 47, preceded by a 41-year-old Neil Cassady in 1968.


Newport Parish Council have been delighted with the public’s response to the ‘Newport Living History’ project. This fascinating new Parish project is recording people’s memories of family and social life, initially focusing on the Orchard Street and Church Litten areas. Displays were held at the Riverfest event and at the Lord Louis Library and there was an amazing buzz amongst the attendees as photos and documents sparked a range of memories. Thanks go to the Lord Louis Library team and the Isle of Wight Council’s Archaeology and Museums & Heritage for their support.
The event at Lord Louis Library also received a distinguished guest in the form of Bill Shepard, local historian and Honorary Freeman of Newport.
Photos of pubs, family homes and businesses, many of which have now disappeared, brought forward a fund of anecdotes. Kelly Wetherick, lead officer for the project, said: “There was a fantastic response from everyone who joined us and it was great to hear personal stories and gems such as one gentleman who recalled his time as an apprentice builder working at the Brickwoods Brewery site. He distinctly remembered having his first taste of beer with a free pint a day being the allowance for the builders – his head was spinning the rest of that first day!
This response shows a ‘want’ in the community to tell these stories and document them, bringing them into the public eye. It’s really hoped that future funding will be obtained to develop and expand this project to cover the whole Newport area.”
Anyone who would like to become a volunteer to help with research, provide their own contributions or take part in future workshops and events is asked to contact Kelly at email@example.com

The High-Leverage Practices Video Examples Collection documents a range of teachers whose exemplary practice TeachingWorks has chosen to feature. This collection includes video examples of high-leverage practices (HLPs) being enacted in real classroom settings. These videos exemplify the high-leverage practices in different forms and in different school contexts and to help us develop commonly agreed upon technical language to describe the work of teaching. For example, in the video examples representing the high-leverage practice of establishing norms for classroom learning, we provide annotated illustrations of specific norms being established and the moves that the teacher is using in the video.
This collection is part of a suite of materials and resources TeachingWorks is creating to contribute to enhanced professional development for both pre-service and practicing teachers. More information about the high-leverage practices and the organization can be found on the TeachingWorks website.
For consideration in this collection, TeachersWorks sought teachers who:


Netflix is expanding its library as the streamer has purchased a trilogy of Fear Street movies, based on R.L. Stine’s teen horror series and directed by Leigh Janiak, from Disney.
The three completed films were produced at Fox with the goal of releasing each movie a month apart. Filming began last year in Georgia and they were scheduled for a release in June 2020, but the movies were pulled from their schedule after the COVID-19 pandemic closed theaters.
The Fear Street books are set in the fictional city of Shadyside, Ohio and the films are set to cover three different time periods, including the 1600s. The cast includes Kiana Madeira, Olivia Welch, Benjamin Flores Jr., Ashley Zukerman, Fred Hechinger, Julia Rehwald, and Jeremy Ford.
No word on when the films will be released.


Ways To Use It¶
Python package from PyPI¶
Get the package with:
pip3 install richdem
provides all the relevant documentation.
Python package from source¶
wrappers/pyrichdem directory and run:
python3 setup.py install --user
As A Command-line Tool¶
To get the command-line tools, install the Python package with:
pip3 install richdem
The command-line tools are all named
rd_*, so typing
rd_ on your command-
line and hitting tab a few times should give you the full list of what’s
As A Library¶
As an overview, upon compilation, point your library search path to the
richdem/include directory. Include various files using, e.g.
All files include extensive documentation. At this stage the location of certain
functions may be subject to change. This will be noted in the
NEWS file. (TODO)
More concretely, there are a number of compilation options to consider. With the
GCC compiler the flag
FLAG is activated by passing the
NOPROGRESSturns off progress bars
RICHDEM_DEBUGturns on line numbers and filenames in RichDEM’s output
RICHDEM_LOGGINGturns on outputs such as notices about memory allocation, intermediate products, various progress indicators, and so on. Enabling this requires inclusion of the
RICHDEM_GIT_HASH. this should be set to the git hash of the code you checked out. A value of
RICHDEM_GIT_HASH=$(git rev-parse HEAD)is usually good.
RICHDEM_COMPILE_TIME. Date and time the code was compiled. A value of
RICHDEM_COMPILE_TIME=$(date -u +'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S UTC')is usually good.
USEGDAL. Indicates that GDAL functionality should be included in the library. This allows reading/writing rasters from various file types. It also complicates compilation slightly, as discussed below.
NDEBUGturns off a bunch of range-checking stuff included in the standard library. Increases speed slightly, butm akes debugging crashes and such more difficult.
Setting up compilation works like this:
CXXFLAGS="--std=c++11 -g -O3 -Wall -Wno-unknown-pragmas -Irichdem/include" CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -DRICHDEM_LOGGING"
C++11 or higher is necessary to compile. Include other RichDEM flags as desired.
Note that the
-g flag doesn’t slow things down, though it does increase the
size of your executable somewhat. It’s inclusion is always recommended for
anything other than distributed production code because it makes debugging much
-O3 flag should be replaced by an optimization level or set of
-Wno-unknown-pragmas hides warning messages from OpenMP if you
choose not to compile with it.
-Wall produces many helpful warning messages;
-Wall is foolish.
-Irichdem/include connects your code
If you plan to use GDAL, include the following:
GDAL_LIBS="`gdal-config --libs`" GDAL_CFLAGS="`gdal-config --cflags` -DUSEGDAL" LIBS="$GDAL_LIBS" CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS $GDAL_CFLAGS"
If you plan to use RichDEM’s parallel features include the following:
Finally, put it all together:
g++ $CXXFLAGS -o my_program.exe my_program.cpp $LIBS
As A Handy Collection of Tools¶
make in the
apps directory will produce a large number of useful
scripts which are essentially wrappers around standard uses of the RichDEM
libraries. The [apps/README.md](apps/README.md) file and the apps themselves
contain documentation explaining what they all do.
For Processing Large Datasets¶
programs directory contains several programs which have not been converted
to libraries. This is usually because their functionality is specific and they
are unlikely to be useful as a library. Each directory contains a makefile and a
readme explaining the purpose of the program.


“The Living Constitution: Embracing The Essence Of India’s Constitutional Framework”
India’s indigenous Framework is one of the most fascinating and vibrant areas of disquisition. Through the times, it has been an ever- evolving document that has allowed India to grow and develop in ways that have amended the lives of its citizens.
From the relinquishment of the Living Constitution, which embraces the substance of India’s indigenous Framework, to the country’s commitment to upholding abecedarian rights and freedoms, India’s Constitution provides a important platform for Indian citizens to express their beliefs and pursue their pretensions.
In this blog post, we will explore India’s indigenous Framework in a vibrant and engaging manner.
1.Understanding India’s Constitution
India’s Constitution is a remarkable document that serves as the foundation for the country’s governance. It provides a frame for the functioning of the Indian government and upholds the abecedarian rights of its citizens. Understanding this Constitution is pivotal to comprehend the intricate workings of India’s popular system.
The Constitution of India was espoused on January 26, 1950, and is the longest written constitution in the world. It draws alleviation from colorful sources, including the Constitution of other countries and ancient Indian textbooks. The framers of the Constitution aimed to produce a document that would not only cover the rights and freedoms of individualities but also promote social justice and equivalency.
The Constitution establishes a civil system of government with a administrative form of republic. It outlines the separation of powers between the superintendent, legislative, and judicial branches, icing checks and balances within the system. also, it enshrines the principles of denomination, illiberalism, and republic, reflecting the values of the Indian society.
Understanding India’s Constitution is pivotal to appreciate the complications of the country’s governance and its commitment to securing the rights of its citizens. It serves as a roadmap for erecting a just and inclusive society and continues to guide the development and elaboration of India’s popular institutions.
2.The literal environment of India’s indigenous Framework
India’s indigenous frame is deeply embedded in the country’s history and struggle for independence. The need for a comprehensive frame that would govern a different and complex nation like India was honored long before its independence from British social rule in 1947.
The demand for a indigenous frame that would secure individual rights, promote social justice, and give a roadmap for the country’s development came decreasingly critical during the early 20th century. The Indian National Congress, under the leadership of stalwarts like Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, commanded the movement for independence and played a pivotal part in shaping India’s indigenous frame.
The architecture of India’s Constitution took place from 1946 to 1949, with the Constituent Assembly assigned with the monumental responsibility of drafting a document that would govern the recently independent nation. The literal environment of this process can not be exaggerated, as it needed a delicate balancing act between colorful coalitions and testaments, while also reflecting the bournes and diversity of the Indian people.
The framers of India’s Constitution drew alleviation from colorful sources, including the constitutions of other countries, ancient Indian legal textbooks, and the principles of justice and equivalency. The final document, which came into effect on January 26, 1950, laid the foundation for a popular, socialist, and temporal nation.
Understanding the literal environment of India’s indigenous frame is pivotal to completely appreciate the significance of the principles and features elevated within it. It’s a testament to the determination, vision, and adaptability of the Indian people in their pursuit of freedom and justice. The literal environment serves as a memorial that India’s indigenous frame isn’t just a static document but a living testament to the ideals and values that continue to shape the nation.
3.Key Principles and Features of India’s Constitution
India’s Constitution is a comprehensive and well- defined frame that lays down the abecedarian principles of governance, administration, and citizen rights. Some of the crucial principles and features of India’s Constitution include a civil structure with a strong central government, the principle of separation of powers between the legislative, administrative, and bar branches of government, and the protection of abecedarian rights and freedoms of its citizens.
India’s Constitution also includes vittles for affirmative action, aimed at promoting social equivalency and revenging literal shafts. It recognizes and respects the diversity of India’s colorful religious, verbal, and artistic groups, while contemporaneously fostering public concinnity and integration.
Another notable point of India’s Constitution is the establishment of a administrative republic, with regular choices and peaceful transitions of power. This allows for lesser representation and participation of the people in the popular process and provides for a stable and responsible government.
Overall, India’s Constitution represents a unique mix of traditional and ultramodern values, combining the rich artistic heritage of India with the stylish practices of ultramodern indigenous governance. It remains an enduring testament to the wisdom and foresight of India’s founding fathers and continues to guide and shape India’s development as a ultramodern popular nation.
4.The elaboration of the Living Constitution in India
India’s Constitution has experienced a remarkable elaboration over the times, transubstantiating it into a living and dynamic document. The frame of the Constitution, which was espoused in 1950, has continuously acclimated to the changing requirements and bournes of the Indian society. One of the crucial aspects of the elaboration of India’s living Constitution is its capability to accommodate emendations.
The framers of the Constitution honored that societal and political changes would bear variations to the original textbook. Since its commencement, the Constitution has been amended more than 100 times, reflecting the ongoing elaboration of Indian society. These emendations have addressed a range of issues, from expanding abecedarian rights to furnishing for reservations in education and government jobs for historically underprivileged groups.
Another significant development in the elaboration of India’s living Constitution is the part of the bar. The Supreme Court of India has played a vital part in interpreting the Constitution and icing its applicability in the changing times. Through its judgements, the Court has interpreted and expanded the compass of abecedarian rights, supported the principles of equivalency and justice, and shielded the abecedarian structure of the Constitution.
also, the elaboration of the living Constitution in India can be seen in the gradational shift towards decentralization and degeneration of powers. The relinquishment of the 73rd and 74th emendations in 1992 was a corner moment in India’s indigenous history, as it empowered original tone- government bodies and gave them indigenous status. This move honored the significance of original governance and aimed to promote grassroots republic.
likewise, the elaboration of the living Constitution in India is reflected in its capability to address social issues and acclimatize to societal changes. The Constitution has handed a platform for social reform movements and has eased the recognition and protection of colorful rights, including those of women, LGBTQ individualities, and marginalized communities.
5.Embracing the substance of India’s indigenous Framework
India’s indigenous frame isn’t just a set of rules and regulations, but a reflection of the country’s values, diversity, and bournes . It serves as the foundation upon which India’s popular structure is erected. Embracing the substance of this frame means feting its essential strengths and the principles that guide it. One key aspect of India’s indigenous frame is its inflexibility and rigidity.
The framers of the constitution anticipated the changing requirements and bournes of the Indian society and incorporated vittles that would allow for its elaboration over time. This” living constitution” has been suitable to repel the test of time and has acclimated to the changing social, political, and profitable realities of the country.
Another important point of India’s indigenous frame is its commitment to social justice and equivalency. The constitution enshrines principles similar as equivalency before the law,non-discrimination, and the protection of abecedarian rights. It seeks to hoist marginalized communities and promote inclusivity in all aspects of Indian society.
also, the indigenous frame provides for a separation of powers, icing checks and balances between the superintendent, legislative, and judicial branches of the government. This ensures responsibility, translucency, and a system of checks and balances.
By embracing the substance of India’s indigenous frame, we fete and appreciate the values and principles that it upholds. We admit the significance of an adaptable and inclusive constitution, one that empowers all citizens and upholds the ideals of justice, liberty, and equivalency.
In conclusion, India’s indigenous frame stands as a testament to the country’s vibrant and different history. Through understanding the complications of the Constitution, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the principles and features that have shaped India’s republic.
The literal environment of India’s indigenous frame is pivotal in feting the struggles and offerings that were made to establish a system that protects the rights and freedoms of its citizens. The crucial principles, similar as equivalency, denomination, and justice, are at the core of India’s Constitution and have been necessary in guiding the nation forward.

The P4C approach as a promoter of dialogical creative thinking based on the teachers' perception
The philosophy for children (P4C) approach is an educational movement that has developed over the years to become a substantial movement with great influence in the educational fields and in many educational systems in the world and is a pedagogical basis in these systems for both students and adults. A central goal of this movement is the advancement of the students' thinking, centered on the creative, critical, cooperative, and caring types of thinking in order to prepare them to be successful citizens in the future community life in the rapidly developing world. At the same time, the importance of creative thinking increased quickly over the years, and soon occupied an essential place in various areas of life. Within all varieties of philosophy for, or with children, the vehicle to their specific forms of thinking is the community of dialogical inquiry, a tight-knit group of likeminded co-philosophers bound together by philosophical friendship whose essence is represented by the communitarian element. Because of the great and increasing importance of creative thinking in the educational field, a comprehensive study was carried out that examined the perception of science and technology teachers in the Arab elementary schools in Israel of seven of the central dimensions of creative thinking, with the teachers' perception of the factors that foster creative thinking at the center. Hence, examining the teachers' perception will form the basis for planning and carrying out any move required to advance the various educational goals. 313 teachers participated in the study who answered a questionnaire that was prepared and validated by content experts, went through a pilot, and was found to be very reliable so that it constitutes a solid research base on which to base findings and conclusions. A key conclusion arising from the part of the questionnaire with the 12 statements that examined the teachers' perception of the factors that foster creative thinking is that significant and many changes are required in the education systems, educational policies, curricula, methods, tools, and the teaching, learning and assessment environments to promote creative thinking. This article briefly describes the research process carried out for the purpose of examining the teachers' perception of the factors that foster students' creative thinking, presents the main findings and conclusions, and mainly discusses in detail how the Philosophy for Children (P4C) approach can be a significant way that enables the promotion of students' creative thinking based on the research findings and conclusions of examining the teachers' perception of the factors that foster students' creative thinking.


SCIENCE PROVES THE BIBLE (Romans 1:18-23)
John Poitevint / January 30, 2022
For many years I have heard preachers and teachers quote a book by Peter Stoner called "Science Speaks", and how it shows that science and the Bible agree. Recently, I tried to find a copy of the book so I could examine it and learn more. The book was first published in 1958 by Moody Press. After searching many sites, I was able to find a revised edition published in 1976.
Peter Stoner was Chairman of the Mathematics and Astronomy Departments at two Colleges in California in the 1950s through the early 1970s. In his day, he was a renown scholar in these fields, but more importantly, he was a Christian. In his book, Dr. Stoner points out that the Bible, written 2000 years before scientific discoveries, is without error from a scientific point of view!
In his book, he gave examples, such as:
- The shape of the earth is mentioned in Isaiah 40:22.
- Gravity is found in Job 26-7.
- Ecclesiastes 1:6 mentions atmospheric circulation.
- A reference to ocean currents can be found in Psalm 8:8.
- The hydraulic cycle is described in Ecclesiastes 1:7 and Isaiah 55:10.
- The second law of Thermodynamics is outlined in Psalm 102:25-27 and Romans 8:21.
These are only a few of the examples of Science truths written in scripture long before they were “discovered” by scientists.
Dr. Stoner then considers the Order of Creation as presented in Genesis 1:1-13. He presents argument after argument from a scientific viewpoint, to sustain the order which Genesis lays out. Then he asks, “What chance did Moses have when writing the first chapter (of Genesis) of getting 13 items all correct and in satisfactory order?” His calculations concluded it would be one chance in 31,135,104,000,000,000,000,000 (1 in 31 x 10 to 21st power). AMAZING! Then, he concluded, “Perhaps God wrote such an account in Genesis so that in these latter days, when science is more developed, we would be able to verify his account and know for CERTAIN that God created this planet and the life on it.”
Brethren, the apostle Paul was correct when he wrote in Romans 1:20, “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are CLEARLY SEEN, being understood by the THINGS THAT ARE MADE, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are WITHOUT EXCUSE.”
