“Ends are for yesterday, not for tomorrows”
Mitch Albom’s The Time Keeper is interesting enough to freeze time or at least to keep me from noticing that quite a big chunk of it has gone. It basically tells the story of Dor, who is imprisoned in a cave for 6,000 years for trying to capture the essence of Time through his tools and invention. When he is finally “freed” from the cave, he is tasked to teach the real value of Time relative to the meaning of Life to two mortals and as an effect, to himself.
The book presents life-lessons that are not entirely foreign or new such as how we waste Time by trying to “catch” Time or how we miss the living part of life by counting our days and minutes only to find ourselves begging for more when we’ve noticed we only have a handful of it left.
What makes this book engrossing despite the cliches, is its simplicity and how it tried to veer away from a preachy tone which is almost always present in books that are lesson-giving.
“There was always a quest for more minutes, more hours, faster progress to accomplish more in each day. The simple joy of living between summers was gone.”


A Practitioner’s Guide to the Methods & Theory of Synthesis
As the world grows increasingly complex–in issues of sustainability, culture, and technology–businesses and governments are searching for a form of problem solving that can effectively respond to unprecedented levels of ambiguity and disorder. Traditional “linear thinking” has been disparaged by the popular media as being inadequate for dealing with the global economic crisis. Traditional forms of marketing and product development have been rejected by businesses that need to find new ways of staying competitive in a global economy. Yet little has been offered as an alternative. It is not enough to demand that someone “be more innovative” without offering the tools to succeed.
This book offers a way of thinking about complicated, multifaceted problems with a repeatable degree of success. Design synthesis methods can be applied in business to produce new and compelling products and services, or these methods can be applied in government with the goal of changing culture and bettering society. In both contexts, there is a need for timely and aggressive action. This text is intended to act as a practitioner’s guide to using the magic of design to solve complex problems.

When Qualitative Research Works
Industry leaders have been successfully using qualitative research for decades. But for many years, we didn’t really understand why it worked. Now we know, and understanding these dynamics can supercharge your research.


by Dean HughesRumors of War
is the first novel in the series Children of the Promise
. I've read this series before, but it has been about 7 years, so I decided to read them again.
The series is about the Thomas family, who live in Salt Lake City, and is based just prior to and during World War II. The father, Al, is a Stake President, owner of a car dealership, and a prominent citizen in the Salt Lake are. The mother, Bea, is a housewife. They have 6 children, but the three oldest children are featured more than the three youngest in the first book.
Alex is on a mission in Germany during the time the Nazis are invading Poland and other surrounding countries. Alex converts a German family, the Stoltzes
, and grows really close to them. The missionaries are evacuated out of Germany, and Alex wonders if he'll ever see the Stoltzes
again; especially their daughter Anna, who he is sure he is meant to marry. He goes home worried that he will end up fighting the German people.
Bobbi is going to the University of Utah and gets engaged to a man that everyone just adores; everyone except herself. She isn't sure about the engagement and eventually calls it off. She starts to have feelings for one of the English professors at the university, but she knows her family will not approve because he isn't Mormon.
Wally, the rebellious third son, is pushing the boundaries of his family. He is in love with Lorraine, but she won't be anything more than friends with him because of his rebellious ways. He decides to join the Army Air Corps and is shipped to the Philippines. He is on the Bataan peninsula when the Japanese invade, and he is taken as a POW.
The book ends with Alex joining the Army, and Bobbi joining the Navy as a nurse. The family has no idea if Wally is alive or dead, and they are all struggling to keep their from being torn apart by this war.
I enjoyed the book as much the second time as I did the first. It's fun listening to it on CD, but I'm glad that I read it the first time, because in the book there are footnotes giving further description of actual people and events from this time period. I would recommend reading this book rather than listening to it on CD for that sole purpose.

Jane Goodall On Kindred Beings:
All who read this book will be deeply moved. How fortunate for Dorothy and the other orphaned, captive chimpanzees — and for those of us who care about them — that there are people like Sheri Speede who risk their health, and work for a pittance, to rescue them. Sheri's words will bring a tear to all but the hardest of hearts. And a lot of smiles as well.

The Washington Post
The Revolutionary War and its musket-loading militias. The frontiersmen and the dangers of the plains. The Wild West, with its righteous cowboys and soulless desperadoes. Patriotism and manhood. Personal protection and individual rights.
The New Republic
In her masterful The Gunning of America, Pamela Haag furnishes a salutary corrective to the perception of the gun’s inevitability in American life by showing its history as a commodity invented and then deliberately marketed and distributed like any other widget or household appliance.
In this fascinating account, Haag (Marriage Confidential) traces the history of America’s gun-making business, arguing that “the tragedy of American gun violence emerged from the banality of the American gun business.
Author of Gunfighter Nation
Most explanations of that culture focus on the motives of the buyers, which range from the practical to the pathological. Pamela Haag’s Gunning of America is an original and insightful work of historical investigation, which shows how gun manufacturers created our so-called “gun culture” through the systematic marketing of their product in an unregulated marketplace.
Founder and CEO of BridgeEdU
The Gunning of America provides an exceptional, fresh perspective about the gun culture in America. Pamela Haag thoroughly examines the history of America’s long term relationship with guns while offering an insightful, informative philosophy as to when and how this love affair began.


The Bible is probably the most talked about book ever written. What about
this book makes it stand out from all other books?
In order to understand this book we need to see it in its entirety.
Every story has a beginning, this book is no exception.
This is the part of the story where mankind strays from God’s original plan.
God comes up with a new plan to save mankind.
God established a promise to be lived out through his people.
Even when God’s people were wandering the desert, He was still there.
When we are unable to save ourselves, it’s time to let someone else to step in.
Now that we’ve been set free, how are we going to live differently? It starts by knowing your mission.
All good things must come to an end, but what if the ending of this story was really just the beginning of another?


Does the Kindle have everything you are looking for in the e-Reader? Ask if the Kindle is right for you and if it can help you read better.
1. Lowercase reading
You can set the font size on the Kindle according to your preferences. Most libraries and bookstores have only a limited number of printed books, but with Kindle you can select any book on the Amazon Store and create a large print book on your device. A simple touch of a button increases its size and helps to relieve eye strain. This makes reading fun.
2. Saving money on books
The best-selling and newest models on Amazon usually cost $ 9.99, while titles with an old release date are usually sold for less. Assuming that the price of fresh solid oil ranges from $ 25 to $ 30, this is very good and the cost may increase over time. You can buy some form with the money you can save by buying just one book a month instead of writing. The savings increase when you consider buying magazines and newspapers. For any regular reader, the Kindle is committed to saving money.
3. Saving space for books collection
Kindle and Kindle DX are capable of storing all textbooks and the memory can store up to 1,500 books and 3,500 books, respectively. All downloaded books are located in the Kindle Library, in one place. You do not have to travel and ask your relatives if they have seen your book on the floor, because you will know where to find it. Just visit the Stored section of the Kindle library to download any.
4. Wide variety of selected books and topics
With over 450,000 books to choose from, the Kindle Store offers books, magazines, magazines and blogs in a fun way. There are also many third party websites that offer e-books, many of which are free. Other popular pages are: Project Gutenberg, World Public Library and Mobipocket. Most of the names on these pages are free, because they are public and free. You can find antiques on many of these pages, with titles like Pride and Discrimination, Treasure Island, Crime and Punishment that are available for download.
5. Reading the same book on multiple devices
You can find other free apps on the Amazon page that offer the opportunity to read digital content on things other than the Kindle. Kindle for iPhone, PC and BlackBerry are available, and the Kindle for Mac app works. Amazon’s Whispersync technology means you can take what you read, even if you change tools. You can read your book on the iPhone on the train and then switch to the Kindle when you get home.
6. Easy way to identify and write key points
The brand comes with several integrated weapons. It has a digital display, which makes it easy to write the verses you need to remember. You no longer need to read the pages of the book because the Kindle has a bookmark that shows the pages you want to return to. The full QWERTY keyboard supports notation. The illegible notes in the margins are old. Finally, Kindle keeps track of all notes and reviews, and you can view their content on many devices.
7. Listening to spoken words as an audio book
In a recent version of Kindle, Amazon has also included test bookmarks that make textbooks unusable. Any book, magazine or blog can be downloaded, as long as the publisher gives permission, you listen to audiobooks via Kindle while cooking or gardening. You can also choose the speed with which they are spoken and whether you want a male or female speaker.
8. Addressing printing need
While the device is good at personal reading, it is also a very useful tool for reading business documents. You can send Word and PDF notes, as well as photos, via Whispernet to your email given by Amazon when you purchase a Kindle. You can see your notes anywhere. This service is free if you can transfer documents from your computer to Kindle via USB, otherwise there will be a small amount of money per megabyte sent.


The Horse America made: : The Story of the American Saddle Horse
The Horse America made: The Story of the American Saddle Horse
Of the world’s horses the Arabian was most noted for hies beauty, the Thoroughbred for his speed, the Morgan for his sturdiness. America took the blood strains for all of these, along with that of the easy-gaited saddle horse of England, and bred a horse possessing the virtues of them all – the American Saddle Horse.
Rich color, clean line and movement, great intelligence for intricate training, longevity, suberb loyalty, uniformity of type, ease of riding – these are some of the outstanding qualities of the American Saddle Horse.
The Horse America made by Louis Tayler, Harper & Row, New York, published 1961, 250 pages, pictures

Include object URIs in the Solr index
Searching for URIs in metadata is currently not possible.
It would be nice to have a field called 'objectURIs' that contains all URIs that appear in object position. For completeness it would also be nice to have 'predicateURIs' and 'subjectURIs' although it is harder to find situations where these two fields would be needed.
Note that the containing entrys resourceURI should not be included in the 'subjectURIs' as it is already contained in the 'resource' field.


In response to the current outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19), researchers worldwide have been generating and openly sharing data, publications, reagents, code, protocols, and more. Broad sharing of these research resources improves the speed and efficiency of science. Unfortunately, there are no uniform standards and repositories for collecting all this information in one place.
Outbreak.info focuses on aggregating all SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19 information into a single site. We focus on making the metadata about these resources more standardized, on creating web interfaces to make the resources more findable, and on a few focused data integration efforts to make data more usable.


Black is a novel exploring themes of small-town horror and nightmares half hidden in plain sight.
In 1992, a girl from the wrong part of the county goes missing after a party . . . and the town of Ithaca doesn’t much care, leaving her disappearance ignored and barely investigated. Although sixteen-year-old Shae Hailey, a classmate of the girl’s, wonders why no one seems to want to find her, she has enough problems navigating her parents’ religious fundamentalism and draconian rules, not to mention her recent casting in Ithaca High School’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. When two boys enter her life, notorious player Danny Grimes and the weird, brooding, potentially dangerous Jesse Cannon, she finds herself caught between her brewing desperation for independence and acceptance, and the hatred and cruelty the upstanding Right-Siders of the community heap upon those who don’t get in line.
Lurking in the shadows though is a presence, an entity created from chaos, watching and waiting for its chance to claim what it wants and gain power over its eternal opponent. Called into reality by the unwitting ritual of a boy desperate for belonging, given form by the collective energy of the play’s cast, the presence makes its move. After so long, it has finally found what was hidden from it, what will ultimately give it victory. Shae is the key. And Shae will set it free.
Coming in 2023 to bookstores and Amazon.

The Ojibwe are featured in our games Fish Lake, Making Camp and Forgotten Trail. But who are the Ojibwe? Read on to learn a little more about the tribe – and then play our games to learn even more about them (while learning math too)!
The Ojibwe are part of the Anishinaabe people. The Ojibwe are also known as Chippewa or Ojibwa.
Following the Ojibwe Migration (check out Forgotten Trail to learn more about the history of the Ojibwe’s cross-continental movement!), the Ojibwe people settled in Michigan, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Minnesota and Ontario in Canada. They are one of the largest groups of Native Americans in North America with a population of over 170,000 Ojibwe in the U.S. alone!
Unfortunately, the Native Ojibwe language, Anishinaabemowin, is considered “severely endangered.” However, efforts are being made on a number of language revitalization projects and or language programs in hopes of keeping the language alive. Just like with any language, there are regional differences in words and pronunciations within the language. Keep an ear out for some Ojibwe words in Fish Lake and Forgotten Trail.
The Ojibwe had defined roles when it came to work done by men and women. Women were in charge of taking care of the home and the farming. They cared for the children and prepared food in addition to tending to crops and planting seeds. Men were hunters and would sometimes be gone for long stretches of time. Men also fought in wars against “settlers” who were trying to take Native lands and other nations to protect their families and homes.
Birchbark was incredibly important to the Ojibwe. Birchbark was used for a variety of things from utensils to canoes. The birchbark canoes were a signature of the Ojibwe since they would make them in different sizes and were much lighter than the dugouts used by other tribes. Scrolls were also made out of birchbark. The Ojibwe would write their teachings using pictographic writing, where they would use pictures and symbols rather than words.
Alliances with French and British
The Ojibwe had a close alliance with the French. The French would often trade fur with the Ojibwe, some French traders even married Ojibwe women and adopted their culture – from which Metis culture evolved. The Ojibwe sided with the French during the French and Indian War against the British. But, the drama between the British and Ojibwe would be short-lived as they would join the Brits in their fight during the American Revolution.
The Council of Three Fires
The Council of Three Fires is a Native American alliance made up of the Ojibwe, the Odawa (Ottawa), and the Potawatomi. It was an alliance formed for mutual protection and to share the fruits of the land. The tribes were referred to as “brothers” and all lived together for centuries. Each tribe was a “keeper” and played a specific role:
Ojibwe: Older Brother, keepers of the faith- the hunters and fisherman.
Odawa: Middle Brother, keepers of the trade- great craftsman and traders.
Potawatomi: Younger Brother, keepers of the fire- successful farmers and medicine men.


FILMS OF JAMES BLUE: UO AND BEYOND
Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art
In celebration of the deposit of the James Blue Archive at UO Special Collections, we are pleased to premiere a rare find in the archive. James Blue directed a 40-minute parody of Hamlet with a cast and crew of UO Drama students and friends in 1951-52. Blue’s Hamlet was a huge sensation when it screened on campus to more than 2,000 people in the UO Student Union ballroom. Word of this sensational student production even attracted national attention through an article in the March 1953 issue of the amateur film magazine, Movie Makers. The film was recently in the Blue Archive and will be presented for the first time on campus since 1955. It demonstrates Blue’s precocious talent. He would go on to win the Critics’ Prize at the Cannes Film Festival and an Academy Award nomination for later films.
Also on the program today will be the following film inspired by James Blue and produced by Journalism Professor Daniel Miller:
The March Continues: 50 years of Civil Rights Struggle Past, Present and Future (21m.)
This film celebrates the legacy and ongoing strength of the civil rights movement. It focuses on two marches, The March on Washington in August 1963 and The March on Washington in August 2013, juxtaposing then and now. It pays tribute to James Blue’s film of the 1963 March, entitled The March (1963), and, like that film, features both the foot soldiers and leaders of the movement. John Lewis, Julian Bond, Joaquin Castro, Al Sharpton, Bernice King, and many others appear in the film. Their message: The March continues.
Cosponsored with the James and Richard Blue Foundation.

With guest speaker Dr. Scott MacDonald
Jonas Mekas is considered by many to be the “godfather of American avant-garde film.” His photo and video exhibition Frozen Film Frames is on view at the Schnitzer Museum through June 7. Walden was Jonas Mekas’s first diary film, and it was edited as a collection of images gathered between the years 1964 and 1969. Mekas writes: “To keep a film (camera) diary, is to react (with your camera) immediately, now, this instant: either you get it now, or you don’t get it at all . . . it has to register the reality to which I react and also it has to register my state of feeling (and all the memories) as I react. Which also means that I had to do all the structuring (editing) right there, during the shooting, in the camera.” Critic Yann Beauvais writes: “Jonas Mekas’s films celebrate life. They rise up against the world’s overwhelming commercialism, attempting instead to revive the pleasures of friendship, a first snowfall or the return of spring. Mekas’s genius stems from his generously including the viewer in his vision of the world, allowing us to (re)discover, in a simple image, the incredible force and necessity of poetry.”
Scott MacDonald, the leading chronicler of avant-garde filmmakers, is the author of five volumes of the Critical Cinema series (UC Press) and of several other books on avant-garde film. He will introduce Jonas Mekas’s magisterial Walden today, returning tomorrow to present a program of experimental landscape films.

Once Upon a Time in China is set in the late 1800s, with China in turmoil. Western influence is threatening the pride and sovereignty of the Chinese people, who are being enslaved for foreign labor, or becoming addicted to opium. It falls upon Wong Fei Hung, a renowned doctor, healer, patriot, and kung-fu artist, to stand up and fight. Charged with protecting the region with his militia, Fei Hung becomes embroiled in political intrigue and martial arts rivalries as corrupt foreigners and corrupt Chinese attempt to gain control of the region. When a rival martial arts master joins the foreigners, Fei Hung faces his greatest challenge yet. Can he save his true love Yee (Rosamund Kwan), as well as right the wrongs against his beloved land of China?
Sporting truly epic fight choreography, Tsui Hark’s Once Upon a Time in China revitalized the wuxia genre and became one of the defining martial arts movies of the twentieth century. Combining kung-fu action, political allegory, and historical drama, Once Upon a Time in China became an international hit and won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Picture. Martial arts superstar Jet Li took on the role of Wong Fei Hung, a familiar subject of scores of previous films, and audiences could not get enough; he would reprise the role in four sequels.


Rudiments stays as close to native code as it can. If the C library provides a function, then Rudiments wraps it as tightly as possible. Few functions are re-implemented.
As a result, Rudiments itself is fairly small. A default release build on x64 linux is around 500K. A properly stripped arm-uclibc build with optimizations for small code is around 275K.
Rudiments doesn't go overboard with inlines either, so your application stays light as well.


Several months ago, there was a bit of a dust-up over the lending of e-books by libraries. OverDrive, the vendor responsible for the e-book lending solution used by the vast majority of public libraries in North America, sent out a notice that introduced several new limitations, including one that caused an uproar among librarians.
The first modification to the agreement with libraries was that geographic restrictions would be enforced, meaning that someone in Florida would be prevented from borrowing e-books from a library in New York, for example.
The more contentious restriction was one that set a maximum number of times an e-book could be checked out before a library would have to re-purchase it. The magic number after which a library's copy of an e-book would expire was set at 26 times -at least for Harper Collins titles. This was a requirement demanded by the publisher, concerned that these perfect digital copies might be eating into e-book (and traditional book) sales. The nature of the restriction is a Catch-22 for libraries: the more popular a title is, the more demand for it and the more patrons will use their e-book service. But as usage grows, the library could find itself having to rapidly replace popular e-book titles, which would be expensive. If their budget doesn't allow for replacements, people will grow frustrated by the lack of popular titles and interest in e-book borrowing could wan. There were protests and a web site encouraging readers to boycott Harper Collins was established. Some libraries have considered suspending e-book purchases, while others are undoubtedly holding off on implementing a program until the issue is resolved. As of this point in time, other publishers are not yet onboard with the library lending restrictions, but there is an expectation that it is likely only a matter of time until either Harper Collins backs down, or the rest of the industry adopts a similar policy.
With this brewing in the background, what has the impact been on e-book lending at libraries? According to OverDrive's figures, library customers were borrowing e-books at a rate that grew 200 percent from 2009 to 2010, an impressive rate of growth. Whether this rate would be sustainable in 2011 -even with e-book and e-reader sales skyrocketing- is a question we'll have to wait until 2012 to find out for certain. However, the Toronto Public Library in Canada released figures showing that e-book lending is on fire; at least in this city, up 400 percent over last year so far. For example, May e-book checkouts in 2010 totalled 5,629, while in May of 2011, that had increased to 21,736 e-books. It's no wonder the Toronto Public Library was listed as a Feature Partner on OverDrive's web site this month. OverDrive also links to a recent article in the Dayton Daily News pointing out that e-book checkouts in that city's Dayton Metro Library has increased 386 percent since January.
Amazon reported earlier that Kindle titles had tripled in volume so far for 2011 compared to 2010. Although two libraries is a small sample, in these cases at least, e-book lending is pacing the increase seen in e-book sales -the restrictions don't seem to have killed momentum.
It's still early, though. We'll have to wait until 2012 to get the full picture on e-book lending at public libraries for 2011. We don't know whether the Harper Collins limitation is going to stick, whether other publishers are going to join in, or what the impact will ultimately be on libraries -whether they'll buy fewer e-books or possibly focus on a digital collection from publishers that don't impose restrictions. There is also the Kindle effect, with OverDrive and Amazon prepping to finally allow for Kindle owners to borrow library books this Fall. E-reader adoption continues to rise, though, so expect pressure on libraries to expand their e-book collections.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb, WG’83
2017 Joseph Wharton Social Impact Award
||Nassim Nicholas Taleb, WG'83
Author, The Black Swan, Fooled By Randomness
Nassim Nicholas Taleb spent 21 years as a risk taker (quantitative trader) before becoming a researcher in philosophical, mathematical and (mostly) practical problems with probability.
Taleb is the author of a multivolume essay, the Incerto (The Black Swan, Fooled by Randomness, and Antifragile) covering broad facets of uncertainty. It has been translated into 36 languages.
In addition to his trader life, Taleb has also written, as a backup of the Incerto, more than 50 scholarly papers in statistical physics, statistics, philosophy, ethics, economics, international affairs, and quantitative finance, all around the notion of risk and probability.
Taleb is currently Distinguished Professor of Risk Engineering at NYU's Tandon School of Engineering (only a quarter time position). His current focus is on the properties of systems that can handle disorder ("antifragile").
Taleb refuses all honors and anything that "turns knowledge into a spectator sport".
Taleb traveled the conventional route of education to real-life and theory to practice in inverse sequence from the common one, moving from the practical to the philosophical to the mathematical. He started as a trader, then got a doctorate in mid-trading career; he wrote literary books before writing technical papers, and his work became progressively more technical and formal with time.

If the only Lumiere you've ever heard of is the singing and dancing candlestick from Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" then you may be surprised to learn that two French brothers, Auguste and Louis Lumiere, were film pioneers who created what is considered to be the first movie: the 46-second-long "Workers Leaving the Lumiere Factory" in 1895. Like other early short films it may be viewed on YouTube.
But to really immerse yourself in early cinema, you might enjoy borrowing a variety of DVDs from the Manatee County Public Library System. And don't bother to adjust your volume control - these are silent films!
Georges Melies was another early French filmmaker. He attended the first public showing of the aforementioned Lumiere Brothers film and even tried to buy one of their cameras (the brothers said non!), but that didn't stop him from eventually creating 531 short films between 1896 and 1913. You can watch fifteen of them in the documentary, "The Magic of Melies." Melies was a special effects innovator and was one of the first filmmakers to use multiple exposures, time-lapse photography, dissolves and hand-painted color. Although his best-known film, "A Trip to the Moon" (1902) is not in this DVD collection (the sequence of a rocket ship smacking into the eye of the Man in the Moon is probably familiar to many), it does include "The Impossible Voyage" (1904) similar to the 1902 film in its theme.
"Treasures from American Film Archives: 50 Preserved Films" is a 4-DVD set that includes documentaries, newsreels, early American silent movies, amateur and home movies, animated and industrial films, and more. Included is a short film called The Lonedale Operator (1911) directed by D.W. Griffith and written by Mack Sennett which is noteworthy for its innovative editing, as well as its use of a "close-up" which was a rare film technique for the time.
D.W. Griffith's 1915 film, "The Birth of a Nation," is the story of two families, one northern and one southern, during and after the Civil War. Despite its racist portrayal of African-Americans, it is still considered by film historians to be a ground-breaking film due to its length (almost 3 hours), cinematic innovations, technical refinements, and artistic advancements.
An early filmmaker very few people have ever heard of is Ladislaw Starewicz (1892-1965), notable as the creator of the first stop-action animated films (or as he called them, "puppet films.") Educated as an entomologist, he began in 1910 using stop-motion photography to animate dead insects, amphibians, and puppets. "The Cameraman's Revenge and Other Fantastic Tales" includes 1912's The Cameraman's Revenge a witty fable about insect infidelity! Director Terry Gilliam said of Starewicz that "his work is absolutely breathtaking, surreal, inventive and extraordinary."
Speaking Volumes, written by Manatee County Public Library System staff members, is published each Sunday. Jyna Scheeren is a reference librarian and Program Coordinator in the Manatee County Public Library System.


As the snow transforms Easton into a winter wonderland, Ariana finds herself falling for Thomas. But someone is watching their clandestine romance unfold, someone intent on turning their holiday weekend into a nightmare...
Last Christmas reveals the secret of what really happened before Private began -- and the shocking truth will change everything for fans of Kate Brian's bestselling series.
This book was actually really intriguing! You get a very good look inside Ariana's head. Previously, I was sure she was a physco. Although I still believe this, her mindset is now a little bit more justified in my head. It was touching, in a way, to see what happened to her. At some parts it was disturbing, but if I told more it would give it awayy:)
Overall, I would recommend this book to any PRIVATE fan, but you need to read the series before you read this book! Otherwise, it will give stuff away in the other books, and events it won't be as surprising. Last Christmas was helpful with helping me understand the previous books, and it was cool how so many connections were made.
****SPOILER!***** (if you haven't read the private series)
Even though Ariana is cold-blooded and she tries to do away with Reed, at the end of this book you see why she felt this way. Even though I still don't think she was right, you start to sympathize with her. This story is heartbreaking, and you find yourself actually becoming Ariana. Or, maybe I'm just weird, but I was starting to use her breathing techniques when I was trying to calm down...
(In two three... Out two three...)
At the end, I found myself craving more for this book. I got a bit confused at some parts, since I didn't pay attention to the chapter titles (my bad...), and I had to go back and reread some, which wasn't that bad.
So, basically, read it!
I went to the library to get Pretties today, but I couldn't find it! Hopefully they have it tomorrow, or I'll just find another book.
NEWS ABOUT PRIVATE!!
I did nottt think another book was going to come out in the series! But I'm SOOOO ecstatic that there is, indeed, another book coming out! *CHEER!*
It is called; PARADISE LOST.
Looking forward to reading:)

Movie: The-Nightingale-(2018) In 1825, Clare, a 21-year-old Irish convict, chases a British soldier through the rugged Tasmanian wilderness, bent on revenge for a terrible act of violence he committed against her family. She enlists the services of an Aboriginal tracker who is also marked by trauma from his own violence-filled past.
Written by msbreviews on December 30, 2019
Jennifer Kent delivered one of the best horror movies of the decade, The Babadook. With The Nightingale, only her second feature film, she offers one of the most visually brutal, shocking, jaw-dropping, violent revenge stories ever. This movie is the definition of “not for everyone.” Rating: A-


COMEDIAN, actor, writer and television presenter and a thoroughly nice chap, Michael Palin, has many faces, but in the Falklands this week he was in research mode, investigating the journeys of two ships that happened to pass through the Falklands in 1842.
Penguin News journalist Peter Young is, like many of us, a long time Palin fan, but he also has a fascination for ships, history and the Antarctic. Peter describes his conversation with the British comedy icon.
Part 1 of a conversation with Michael Palin
If anyone is reading this hoping for a hard-hitting critique of the famous man's long career, they will be disappointed. By sheer coincidence, I am currently reading a volume of his diaries ‘The Python Years’, and in any case, I had long been a fan of his inimitable travel documentaries. I wanted to know why he was here; what he thought of the place; and what he was doing next?
Michael explained that he was in the Islands to research a book on the ship called the Erebus, and another the Terror, two tough little vessels that undertook two of the greatest Polar journeys of the early 19th century.
One of those was to Antarctica which lasted about four years and went the furthest south that anyone had ever been. In the course of that voyage they became quite damaged as a result of journeys through the ice-fields. As such they called in to Port Louis (the then capital) for repairs and to prepare for another voyage south to Antarctica.
Here they remained for several months in 1842, hence Michael’s interest in the story of the crew and the ship.
Michael told me how he’d travelled to South America before, including Punta Arenas, and also to Antarctica four times but had never been to the Falklands: “It's a research trip, really, but also I want to put a personal angle into the book, myself..... what I can see now, and what it might have been like then.”
He said he had hoped to get close to where the wreck of the Erebus was, “but the Canadian Government is really protective of the find. They don't want too many people from outside.
“They are not yet ready to show it to the world, because they are doing a lot of research work on it themselves. And there's a very short window for them to get access to it themselves during the Arctic summer.”
But he is still hopeful: “I'm a Gold Medal holder of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. So, you know, I have a few contacts there. But I shall certainly be up in the Arctic in the summer, as part of following the spirit of the Erebus and Terror. But that will be the sad end of the story.”
Speaking of the successful Antarctic journey he explained: “When they came here, they had been away for about two and a half years, and there had been hardly a single serious illness in the crew.
“Two people had been swept overboard in those two and a half years, but it must have been a very well-run expedition. And they must have been fed well.

Storing Validation Parameters in PKCS#8
This memo describes a method of storing parameters needed for private-key validation in the Private-Key Information Syntax Specification as defined in PKCS#8 format (RFC 5208). It is equally applicable to the alternative implementation of the Private-Key Information Syntax Specification as defined in RFC 5958.
The approach described in this document encodes the parameters under a private enterprise extension and does not form part of a formal standard.

RFC 8479 Storing Validation Parameters in PKCS#8 September 2018
RSA or DSA private keys generated using the Shawe-Taylor prime generation algorithm described in [FIPS186-4] allow for parameter validation, i.e., they verify whether the primes are actually prime and were correctly generated. That is done by generating the parameters from a known seed and a selected hash algorithm.
Storing these parameters in a private-key format such as the RSA Private-Key Syntax from PKCS#1 [RFC8017] or common representations for DSA private keys does not allow information needed for validation to be attached to the parameters. The purpose of this document is to describe such a method using the Private-Key Information Syntax Specification as defined in [RFC5208] and the alternative specification described in [RFC5958].
The approach described in this document encodes the parameters under a private enterprise extension and does not form part of a formal standard. The encoding can be used as is or as the basis for a standard at a later time.
The information related to the validation parameters is stored as an attribute in the PrivateKeyInfo structure. The attribute is identified by the id-attr-validation-parameters object identifier and contains as AttributeValue a single ValidationParams structure.
The following structure contains an RSA key generated using the algorithm from Section B.3.3 of [FIPS186-4], with SHA2-384 hash. The seed used is 8af4328c87bebcec31e303b8f5537effcb6a91d947084d99a369823b36f01462 (hex encoded).

So recently a customer had an issue where whenever a user attempted to Upload a document, complete some MetaData fields and click ‘Save’ or ‘Check In’, instead of the form closing and the document being added to the library the browser attempted to Open the document and left them in the form, rather than redirecting them back to the library.
Here is an example of what I mean. When using either the ‘Upload Document’ button in the ribbon, or using the ‘Add Document’ link that sits just under the library everything works fine as per the following screenshots:
However, sometimes these methods are hidden from the users and the designers do not like these default options with their branding and want to provide their own link/button to for the users. The temptation is to simply copy the shortcut link from the already existing Add Document link, and use this as the Upload link in their button. Here is what it looks like:
I have used this in my example and the text HERE has this link. When I attempt to add a document this way I will not get the same result as you can see from the following screenshot when I attempt to add another document by clicking this:
To avoid this behaviour and still provide your own link/button we need to do the following. On the page where the library is right click in your browser and view the source code of the page. You are looking for the following lines of code:
The easiest way to locate this is to CTRL F and look for <a class=”ms-addnew” id=”idHomePageNewDocument”
Copy the equivalent code from your source into a new blank text file called “UploadDocument.txt” (or whatever you want) and save this file to your desktop. Upload this file into SharePoint (location is not important, I put mine in the Site Assets library).
Next Add a Content Editor Web part to the page, edit the Web Part and in the Web Part options add a Content Link that points to this text file.
When you now click on the link the document will be uploaded successfully.

The Latvian Prose Counter displays data on Latvian novels of the 19th and 20th centuries. The creation of the corpus was started with the first Latvian works of prose fiction, hence, early novels are better represented in the data set available in the Counter. All novels published as books by the year 1920 are available in the present data set.
The creation of a corpus entails several steps - scanning of the books, segmentation, optical recognition, error correction, morphological and syntactical tagging, and the creation of metadata. The oldest Latvian novels have required the greatest effort: we have used machine learning methods to improve the quality of optical recognition; we have also transformed the old fraktur script to modern writing in order to be able to use modern language processing tools. Many early Latvian novels have never been reprinted in modern orthography, and only a few people nowadays have read them.


Consuelo Simpson is as interested in the creativity of the making process as in the final outcome. The work explores the notion that making is a dialogue with material in which maker and matter are active participants. In this sense, the work is in a state of perpetual becoming. Using sculpture, print and installation, the form is temporary, carrying with it the potential for change, seeking neither perfection nor an end. To focus on the process is a way of understanding that thinking takes place alongside making, hands and body responding to materials. ‘
Things become, as does our knowledge of them’ (Ingold:2017:13)
Her art practice seeks moments of contentment, noticing flashes of enchantment and reaches an accommodation with the world around us.

Τὰ ἑξῆς ἀεὶ τοῖς προηγησαμένοις οἰκείως ἐπιγίνεται
‘What follows is always organically related to what went before.’
Marcus Aurelius, Roman emperor and philosopher (121 - 180 AD)
This assertion is now the motto of the Gallo-Roman Museum. A deliberate choice. A society never functions by accident. There are reasons for a culture being what it is, for people doing what they do and for us doing what we do. As you will discover in the museum.
Born in 121 AD, Marcus Aurelius was the adopted son of Emperor Antoninus Pius. He became Emperor when his stepfather died, in 161 AD. He lived at the time when the Roman Empire was coming under threat. The Empire was constantly having to deal with attacks in border areas. During his reign the Germanic Marcomanni and Quadi tribes crossed the Alps and attacked Italy. He was repeatedly called upon to fend them off. Between 170 and 180 AD he stayed in the Roman camps on the Danube. He would spend some of the time in his army tent writing a work- in fact separate meditations - with the Greek title 'Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν', (‘To Myself’). Not until the 19th century was renewed interest shown in the work and it has now been translated several times. It is internationally recognised as a literary monument.
The work reflects both the Emperor's frame of mind and the state of the Roman Empire in general. In the wake of a lengthy period of steady expansion, the Romans had to contend with increasing pressure on the national borders. The Emperor himself found solace in the teachings of the Stoics, expressing his ideals and doubts. Unsurprisingly, he wrote the work in Greek: the language of the learned Roman.
Many regard Marcus Aurelius - the Emperor and philosopher - as the model of a fair and humane ruler. He died in 180 AD.


|Author: David Carlyle|
|Format: 15x22 cm hardcover with jacket|
|Target Age: Young Adults|
The Skyland book series is a line of young adult fantasy, written by David Carlyle, that takes place in the Skyland fiction. The book series is centered round two teenagers — Laurence and Valerie — who fall in love with each other, despite their backgrounds making it difficult for them to be together.
Planet Earth. Spring 2078, Iceland. Young doctor Lily Carlyle is working on a top secret research project in a laboratory thousands of feet below the earth’s surface. But something is wrong. Humans, animals, and plants are being affected by strange genetic mutations. Earthquakes, floods, and volcanic eruptions are occurring all over the planet. Soon, the world as we know it will cease to exist.
Skyland. Messidor 2251, New Forest. Two men, José and his teenage son Laurence, are deep in a forest of twisted, lifeless trees in a desperate race against the clock to find the most precious of all commodities: water. Skyland’s water supplies are almost exhausted. Lakes, rivers, and oceans no longer exist. In a world made of fragments of rock suspended in mid-air, it could be no other way.
Skyland. Prairial 2251, New Oxford. Valerie is sixteen and a member of the Seijin caste, highly developed human beings, able to harness the power that holds Skyland together. Valerie is constantly torn between her sense of superiority over the Jinsei (the ancient human race) and her own deeper, more human emotions. Her life at the institution is hard, without warmth or any real friends. But she doesn’t know that she is about to be thrown together with Laurence and their worlds turned upside down by the discovery of a precious artifact from the past: the Carlyle Dossier, the key to the secrets of Skyland.


Have you read Renato Constantino’s “Parents and Activists”?
I haven’t. But I will be looking for that article (I think it was published in Graphic during the 80’s) in the library this week. I saw a copy at Bantayog ng mga Bayani Museum yesterday. Reading the first few paragraphs, flipping through the first few pages, I felt like I just met my soul mate. The words hugged me tightest in my heart, consoled me like the softest blanket. Constantino understands me, us. Haha. Makes me want to cry blood.


Dance education begins with awareness of the body and its creative potential.

This includes introducing students to historical, cultural, folkloric, and traditional experiences. This can be both a personal and a social experience. Teacher Study Guides are meant to be a resource for classroom teachers, students, and others to further explore dance.
These Teacher Study Guides will assist you in exploring the vast world of dance, movement, and creativity.

Below are the gifts I received on my baptism day:
A spiritual book worth reading by Max Lucado, from a teacher :) In English, the title means 'You Change My Life'. Consists of many true short stories about the power of love, faith, hope, and giving. Very inspiring.
He also gave me these crystal rosary beads.
And... Cat's eye rosary beads from Selvi. Really love the colour of the stones!
Thank them for the amazing surprises! But actually, the greatest gift was the baptism itself :) Hope through this baptism, I can be a better person. I want to be a light for my family and society, the one who spreads love and smile to people around me. I want to be a better Vilda, who never forgets to pray... never feels lazy to go to church... and never feels lazy to help others. Aja aja, fighting!


Video: Busting globalisation myths
How our correspondent followed his hunch about protectionism
As governments around the world reacted to economic shocks and heightened geopolitical tensions, The Economist’s senior economics writer Callum Williams began to notice a concerning trend. Many policy-makers were turning towards protectionist solutions to their countries’ problems. In his Special report on the world economy, Callum investigates the true costs and benefits of globalisation and debunks the most common misconceptions. In this video he talks about his reporting journey, and how he got to the bottom of supply-chain disruption that occurred during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Spin & Sing-a-Story of Thanksgiving.
The concept of the story part I got from A Children's Songbook Companion book, so it is not my original idea; however, I did rewrite it for my taste and revised how to present it using my spinner and the songs we knew. You can still present the story using the turkey cut out from the previous post here or if you don't want to use a turkey visual to present it, you could use it in a book format as originally mentioned in the companion book. If I had done this in a book format, I would have used a thin binder with page protectors with the storyline pages inserted and the facing page for each left blank to insert the pictures after they had answered and picked the correct picture. I just noticed a great blog here that posted this same book idea. It is so wonderful the many great ideas and variations floating around out there. My file for the First Thanksgiving Story I wrote is attached below.
So here is how I presented it with the spinner. I've also inserted comments for the book version as well.
- Post the pictures on the board or around the room randomly.
- Number the back of the feathers (I used the medium feathers only). Although there are only seven parts to the story, I kept the eighth feather blank on the turkey. If the spin landed on the blank one, they just pulled it out and another child took a turn. This allowed at least an extra spin just for the fun of it. If you want to present the story in order instead of by the random spin, don't number the feathers. As each feather is picked, just go in numerical order. The kids will have fun just spinning/plucking the feathers and won't notice that you are being sneaky and going in the order you want to.
- Have each story statement numbered on a key sheet.
- If using the book format, number the story statement pages and insert those in the page protectors leaving the facing pages blank for the pictures that are posted to be inserted later as you go through the story.
- Let a child spin the turkey and pluck a feather or pluck a feather from your other turkey visual aid.
- Read the appropriate story statement and let the children give the answer to fill in the blank. Let them also select the picture that fits the answer. To make it a little more difficult for the SR kids, have the pictures turned over on the board so the kids can't see them, then post the song titles facing front over the back of the correlating pictures. Let the SR kids figure out which song is correct for the answer then remove the song title and turn over the picture.
- If you are doing the book version, you would insert the picture in the appropriate place in your book in the page protector. You could set the open book upright on the table or on an easel to display the part of the story you are on while you sing.
- Sing the song that correlates with the picture.
- Repeat until done.
There you go. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Trinity Public Relations is delighted to be involved in The Dyspraxia Foundation’s latest initiative to help young people- a free educational resource for schools
The wonderfully fun yet touching and insightful book, “You’re so clumsy, Charley” (written by Jane Binnion – an author who herself has been diagnosed with dyspraxia) will be mailed out to 225 local primary schools thanks to a grant from Hitchin Tilehouse Rotary Club, with a further £1,000 matched funding from the District Rotary Foundation.
The story which explores the daily challenges of a young boy with dyspraxia, has been developed for children in Year 1 and 2 (ages 5 – 7). The Dyspraxia Foundation is hoping that the school’s SENCo (Specialist Educational Needs Co-ordinator) will keep a copy on hand in the classroom. As well as reading it together as a class, teaching staff could also use the new resource to prompt a discussion with a parent who has raised concerns about their child’s behavioural patterns.
Dyspraxia otherwise known as Developmental Coordination Disorder – DCD) is a common condition affecting fine and/or gross motor coordination, in both children and adults. Although the exact causes of dyspraxia are unknown, it is thought to be caused by a disruption in the way messages from the brain. Despite being rarely discussed dyspraxia/DCD affects around 5% of the population (2%, severely) and there are believed to be two children affected in every class of 30 children.
To hear the author, Jane Binnion, talk about the story behind the book, why not log onto an exclusive interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM2BOOhjV9Q

Earlier this week I was all set to do this post as our scouting report for Ole Miss left tackle Michael Oher. He had declared for the draft as a junior and was a guy who could have ended up available around the 49ers pick. In great timing, over Christmas I received and recently finished The Blind Side, Michael Lewis's highly entertaining and informative book about the rise of Michael Oher from homeless teenager to All-SEC offensive lineman. Then Oher decided to return to Ole Miss for his senior year. Nothing wrong with that, but it takes this from a scouting report to simply a book review. Nonetheless, I HIGHLY recommend reading this book at your earliest convenience. Michael Lewis wrote what might be considered in some circles the infamous Moneyball and also Liar's Poker.
The book uses the rise of Michael Oher to chronicle many of the socio-economic issues within inner cities, as well as some truly fascinating developments in the game of football. I won't go into the socio-economic stuff because I'd prefer this post to deal more with the lighter stuff that football fan's can wrap their teeth around (although the racial issues are truly fascinating in the book). In this case, Lewis discusses the development of several areas of football that in the end made the left tackle become more financially valued than any other member of the offensive line. This would have likely been considered heresy before the 1980s, but times changed. It was a veritable perfect storm of events that led to this occurrence.
In the early 1980s Bill Walsh was becoming the face of the West Coast offense in San Francisco and Lewis goes into great detail about Walsh's time before San Francisco that allowed him to develop the system, particularly in Cincinnati under Paul Brown. At the same time Walsh was perfecting the system with the 49ers, Lawrence Taylor entered the league to absolutely terrorize quarterbacks and offensive linemen. There are some great quotations from linemen at the time talking about being unable to sleep the week they had to face Taylor on the QB's blind side. As he wreaked havoc, Bill Walsh realized the need to put his best lineman on the quarterback's blind side to protect him. Most quarterbacks were right handed so they had less time to get rid of the ball since they had to account for Taylor. Lewis interviewed a variety of former players including a former fan favorite in San Francisco, Steve Wallace.
So as time progressed, left tackles have become not only the highest paid offensive linemen, but among the higher paid players in the league. It sounds like the 49ers will be moving Joe Staley to left tackle next season and I'm excited about that considering his athleticism and his solid rookie season. Michael Oher (pronounced Oar) appears to be the next great physical specimen when he enters the league after his senior season. The book discusses in depth how much of a freak of nature Oher is and how much of a sponge he is when he comes to learning. He was clasified as learning disabled but has managed to put together strong academics, in large part thanks to the help of the Memphis family that adopted him. A big issue in the book was learning the playbook at Ole Miss because he is a visual learner as opposed to just being told the Xs and Os. It will be interesting to see the transition he makes at the NFL level and how he handles the potentially overwhelming NFL playbook.
Anyways, I highly recommend checking out The Blind Side, particularly if you want to learn more about the development of football in the 70s and 80s and particularly if you are a Michael Lewis fan.
