"Although Jacoulet depicted his island models in full frontal poses often
in his sketches, this is his first pair of figures that challenge the viewer
in such an un-Japanese way in a print. The unusual eyecolor, and the subtle
variation in skintone make this simple design one of Jacoulet's most
successful." (R. Miles)

Xavier Prou a.k.a. Blek le Rat, the Parisian born artist practicing stencil graffiti since the late 1970’s known as the “godfather” of stencil graffiti is commemorating 30 years creating art on the streets with the launch of new retrospective with Art Publishing, Ltd.
Blek will be launching his book at the Art Basel, Miami Beach on December 2-4, 2011 and further gallery exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe. The retrospective features the artist’s private family photos, point and shoot images of his graffiti artwork from around the world, and full-color reproductions of his gallery pieces. The book is separated into two distinct sections: “Street Art” and “Fine Art,” both of which are augmented by the writing of celebrated scholars, critics, experts in relevant fields, fellow artists, journalists, collectors and gallerists. Lavishly illustrated with more than 200 images!
His work has influenced many of the most celebrated contemporary artists including the infamously anonymous graffiti artist Banksy, who in 2006 said, “Every time I think I’ve painted something slightly original, I find out that Blek le Rat has done it as well. Only twenty years earlier. . .”
Check back here on our blog and on Bomb It’s Facebook page for exclusive pages of his forth-coming book!

The Nature Of Racism And Prejudice In To Kill A Mockingbird.
Prejudice in To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee “To better understand a person you have to climb up inside their skin and walk around in it.” The quote previously stated by Atticus in the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is an unveiling of the upcoming forms of prejudice. The setting for the novel is a fictitious town called Maycomb. This town is situated in Alabama. The racial.
Many papers already exist looking at “To Kill A Mockingbird”’s narration on the power of prejudice and the fight for justice. You can find samples of essays online to create an outline for an essay of your own, which should include an introduction, body, and conclusion.
Racism is one theme which is hugely illustrated in “To Kill A Mockingbird”. Harper Lee has been very successful in being able to elicit racism. The most unique and significant approach she uses to reveal racism is that she tells the story through the point of view of a child. This helps her very much to bring out this important theme as she shows Scout being in a learning process and just.
Your final thesis statement, which you can use in the introduction to an essay, might read: Racism is the main theme explored in To Kill a Mockingbird; most of the people in town are racists, Tom.
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, is a book about racism and coming of age for the character Jem during the Great Depression era in small-town Alabama seen from the perspective of a six-year-old girl. Prejudice is directly defined as a preformed opinion about a person or group of persons. In this context, however, prejudice is seen as disregard towards a group of people by considering them.
To Kill a Mockingbird Themes: Prejudice, Racism, Justice and Courage To Kill a Mockingbird Themes. Since its publication in 1960, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee has sold over 30 million copies. Although set in the 1930s in the fictional American town of Maycomb, the central themes and issues of To Kill a Mockingbird are just as relevant to society today. So prevalent are the issues of To.
The theme of prejudice is explored many ways throughout the novel To Kill a Mockingbird. The different kinds of prejudice explore how deep people’s hatred of each other can go. It gives the reader good insight as to what makes people intolerant and why people shouldn’t be prejudiced just because others are different. From discriminating against the poor to racial prejudice to silly rumors.


Title: New Moon
Author: Stephenie Meyer
Pages: 1- 84
Hi all!(: Hope everyones holiday was lovely! Well enjoy the review
Summary: Bella turned 18, but she isn’t very happy about this. Because Edward will never get older. Charlie and her mom get her a camera and scrapbook. Alice tells Bella that she is throwing her a party and she has to come over. Although she still isn’t happy about it being her birthday and getting older, Bella finally agrees to go. While watching Rom & Jul that night, Edward tells Bella about the vulture, a powerful vampire family. And that if you want to die, that is who you go to. After dinner with Charlie it was off to the Cullens’ where things would end up going terrible wrong. While opening her present from Alice and Edward, Bella manages to cut herself on the wrapping and bleed. And all of a sudden, Edward throws Bella back to protect her(in the process she manages to cut her arm when falling) and Bella found herself looking into the ravenous eyes of vampires. Rosalie and Emmett took Jasper outside (he had the least experience controlling his thirst) and Carlisle had to pluck the glass out of her arm and stitched her up. After the ‘incident’ Edward becomes more distant. Edwards and Bella go for a walk and he tells her that he and his family are leaving. And then Edward was gone. On the way out of the woods, deliriously depressed, Bella tripped and blacked out. After a search, Sam Uley found her and a doctor said she was alright, she was just exhausted from being out there. When Bella goes in her room, she finds that Edward was thorough, he even took the pictures she took of him. And then she slipped into a depression.
Movie comparison: Bella and Edward watch Romeo and Juliet after school at her house, not during class. Where Edward feels the need to state that humans have it easy to kill themselves where as vampires have it a lot harder, almost impossible.
Favorite Line: “It will be as if I never existed.”
Random thought: Who doesn’t want presents for their birthday or want to celebrate it at all?! That is just crazy! Now, maybe I could see being afraid to open paper again by the a vampire if I was Bella, but no presents? Hello! Your celebrating your birth you crazy woman!
Just a precautionary: Now if I was Bella, I would try and be a little bit more careful while opening something so that I don’t get a paper cut… Although I have never bled from one before. So she must have been really excited on the inside to open this present up if she managed to cut herself so deep she bled!

I had the privilege of being a contributor to the newly-released book Castles, Customs, and Kings, a compilation of essays from the English Historical Fiction Authors blog by more than fifty authors on real life stories and tantalizing tidbits discovered while doing research for their books. You can buy the book here: http://www.amazon.com/Castles-Customs-Kings-English-Historical-ebook/dp/B00FCEJ10Y/ref=la_B003VQF4CO_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1397926831&sr=1-2
Today, many of these authors are participating in a blog hop, each writing a post related to castles and giving away a historical novel.
My subject today is Codnor Castle in Derbyshire.
Bess of Hardwick, one of the most interesting and striking figures of the Tudor era, who ended up the most wealthy and powerful woman in England after Queen Elizabeth, began life inauspiciously. Her father had died when she was a baby, her mother remarried, and by the time Bess was twelve years old, her stepfather was in debtor's prison and her mother was struggling to raise the five children still at home. The crown had seized control of the estate upon the death of Bess's father, until her brother James came of age. Bess's mother was entitled to a widow's dower of a third of the proceeds from the estate and to lease another third of the land, and she must have despaired of how she could keep from losing the family's property.
One thing she could do was to ensure that her daughters had a chance at a better life, and this she did by sending them off to serve as ladies in waiting in the households of distant relatives who were better off. This was a common way for young people to meet potential mates and influential patrons who would help them rise in the world.
When Bess was about twelve years old, she went to serve Anne Gainsford, Lady Zouche, at Codnor Castle, about twelve miles from her home at Hardwick.
There was probably a fortified on the site soon after the Norman invasion. The Codnor Castle that Bess knew was built in the thirteenth century and was the seat of the powerful De Grey family for about three hundred years, but in the fifteenth century, it passed to the Zouche family through marriage. The castle grew and transformed over the year, and by the time Bess arrived there in about 1539, it no longer served its original purpose as an armed fortress, but it still retained imposing round towers with battlements and a moat. Outbuildings that served the estate such as the brewery, bakery, and dairy no longer had to be within the protective walls of the castle but had spilled outside to the south courtyard.
Bess's mistress Lady Zouche and her husband Sir George Zouche had served in the household of Anne Boleyn before she became queen. They managed to stay in the good graces of King Henry VIII, and in about 1540 Sir George became one of the king's Gentlemen Pensioners, the prestigious few men chosen to guard the king and remain in his company both at court and during his summer progresses around the country. In this position, he would have had to spend much time in London.
Bess's service in the Zouche household certainly set her on the path to success, and in my novel Venus in Winter, based on the first forty years of Bess's long and eventful life, I chose to have Bess accompany the Zouche familiy to London in time for Bess to witness the king's marriage to Anne of Cleves and the resulting upheavals.
Today, Codnor Castle is one of only two castles in Derbyshire retaining its original medieval architecture, thought only ruins are left of the three-story keep, curtain wall, and ditch, flanked by round towers.

Balancing It All – Candace Cameron Bure
I simply adore Candace Cameron Bure! She’s such an amazing role model for young Christian women! I feel like if there’s something all of us struggle with, it’s finding balance in our everyday lives for everything and everyone we care about. She does a great job of showing how she has found this balance in her life. I wouldn’t say there is groundbreaking information in this book, but it gave me a fresh perspective on balancing my priorities and I loved learning more about their family life!
Silver Girl – Elin Hilderbrand
LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. I could not put this book down! This book is about a woman whose husband gets arrested for embezzling millions (think fictional Bernie Madoff) and must dig into her memories to try to help uncover what really happened and clear her name. Friendship, romance, relationships and life in general are huge themes in this book and I can’t say enough good things about it. Go read it!
Success Through A Positive Mental Attitude: Napoleon Hill & W. Clement Stone
We started a book club at work and this was our book for the month of September! It was really dry in parts but had great advice on the importance of having a positive attitude and ways to make that happen in your everyday life. I definitely found some good tips in this book! It had great ideas for how to be more positive in each area of your life.
The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up – Marie Konto
Just call me the organization girl 🙂 I love to organize! Drawers, schedules, budgets, you name it! The title of order hydrocodone from canada this book drew me in and I knew I had to check it out at the library! There are parts of the book that are a little odd to me (talking to your clothes & possessions…not happening in The Peacock Roost) but she really did have some great tips! I was already cleaning out all the closets and storage in our house and this book gave me the boost to toss anything we don’t use or doesn’t bring joy and never look back! If you need to get your mind in clean out mode, this book should do it for you!

Not Of Woman Born: Fairy Tale Mothers for Postmodern Literary Children by Romayne Smith Fullerton Fullerton examines the subversive potential of re-casting fairy tale stereotypes into postmodern fiction, focusing on the writers Angela Carter, Jenny Diski and Jeanette Winterson. Romayne Smith Fullerton writes about how these authors have adapted and borrowed from the monstrous and imaginative characters of classic tales. Her argument suggests that by tinkering with these stereotypes, the writers in her study have discovered ways to limit the unhappy realities of patriarchy in their fiction. This is done by challenging and sidestepping the problems of the feminine in fairy tales.
Vision of the Possible: Models for Women’s Heroic Journey Applied to Madrone’s Path in The Fifth Sacred Thing by Mary Kirk
Kirk applies a series of feminist interpretations to the myth of the hero. By pointing out the somewhat misogynist, mono-myth of the male hero as laid out in the work of Joseph Campbell, Mary Kirk explores other models of heroism created by feminist scholars such as Susan Lichtman, Carol Pearson, and Katherine Pope. Mary Kirk then tests out these models by applying them to a self-actualized character who lives in a feminist utopia: Madrone in Starhawk’s first novel, The Fifth Sacred Thing.
The Competing Demands of Community Survival and Self-Preservation in Octavia Butler’s Kindred by C. S’Thembile West

C. S’Thembile West outlines the complexity of Black women’s lives and emphasizes the connections between the practice of chattel slavery, U.S. economic viability, and contemporary social problems.

BRIDGES, volume 2
This CD focusses on music written by Czech and Romanian composers between the 1930s and 2008, including Otmar Mácha, Alfred Mendelsohn, Tiberiu Olah, and Bohuslav Martinu.

A CD for those interested in music that falls outside of the mainstream but at all times totally engaging. The performers are both leading staff of the Music Department at Monash University, Australia.

From Publishers Weekly
Eerie twists of fate drive the four longish stories in King's first collection since Just After Sunset (2008). In "1922," a farmer murders his wife to retain the family land she hopes to sell, then watches his life unravel hideously as the consequences of the killing suggest a near-supernatural revenge. "Big Driver" tells of an otherwise ordinary woman who discovers her extraordinary capacity for retribution after she is raped and left for dead. "A Good Marriage" explores the aftermath of a wife's discovery of her milquetoast husband's sinister secret life, while "Fair Extension," the book's most disturbing story, follows the relationship between a man and the best friend on whom he preternaturally shifts all his bad luck and misfortune. As in Different Seasons (1982), King takes a mostly nonfantastic approach to grim themes. Now, as then, these tales show how a skilled storyteller with a good tale to tell can make unsettling fiction compulsively readable.
I loved all four stories, but I would have to say "Big Driver" was my favorite. Not only is the protagonist a woman, she's a writer. I found myself asking, "What would I do?, throughout her nightmarish experience with a serial rapist. A close second was "Fair Extension". About half way through I thought I knew exactly what the outcome would be, but I was pleasantly surprised from both a writer's and reader's standpoint.
This collection is raw and honest. Let it never be said that Mr. King doesn't tell it straight.


Asimov's Chronology of Science and Discovery is a really fun and strange book. I don’t know that I would recommend reading it per se, but it’s a great book to skim. It's been one of my sources for the series I have coming up on very-long-run history, and I thought it'd be fun to read a little about it.
It is a chronological list of scientific advances and other inventions, starting with "bipedality" in 4,000,000 BC and ending with things like "warm superconductivity" in the late 1980s. Asimov (yes, that Asimov), getting his knowledge from I have no idea where (Google didn't exist!), describes each one in simple, direct, matter-of-fact, layperson-friendly language and tries to give a sense of how people thought of it and why it mattered.
It's easiest to give a feel for this book with a sample page:
If you’re patient and abstract-minded enough, the book feels like reading a story. A story that seems like an okay candidate for “most important story ever.”
The other thing I really liked about this book was its implicit conviction that all of these scientific advances can be explained, visualized, and made to basically make sense. After reading it (really, by the time I'd read the first ~50% of it), I felt like I could somehow intuitively, vaguely imagine how we've made most of these advances. I would describe most of them as some combination of:
- Trial and error, dumb luck, happy accidents, like "some rocks in the fire started oozing this weird shiny substance [copper]" and "when I rub amber and touch it I get a shock."
- Dogged curiosity and determination to make sense of different observations ("how can we extract copper from rocks most efficiently? How do we produce those static shocks, can they travel through a wire, how fast do they travel, can we figure out how to store and discharge them at will?")
- Coming up with the most simple, elegant, precise descriptions (often mathematical) that explain all the many observations we've made ("based on all the tests we've run in all the situations we can come up with, electricity seems to behave as though there are invisible 'lines of force'; can we come up with mathematical equations that describe these lines of force and tell us what the effects of an electric current in any given place will be?")
- Relentlessly looking for challenges to the existing theories and building new ones to accommodate them.
This book has made me generally more interested in trying to understand the high-level explanations for how all the magic of the modern world came to be.
There are enough "In addition" sections that you can see what was going on more broadly in the world at the same time.
Weaknesses of this book/reasons not to read it:
- Logistics. It's not available as an e-book or paperback, only as a massive hardcover. Lugging it around will develop your muscles to the point where the only thing more attractive than your muscles is how you look reading that massive book about science. But if you're already in a relationship, pain in the neck. So I signed up for a book-scanning service and shipped them a copy; the service rips the binding out of books, scans them in and sends back a PDF. I then did my best to extract the text from the PDF, and ended up with a Kindle-friendly Word document whose only flaw is that sometimes a sentence will randomly cut off and continue several pages later. For a book like this though, it's still readable (...mostly). I’m just going to go ahead and put the link here and ask that you buy a physical copy of the book (honor system) if you download it. If I get a cease & desist letter or something I will take that link down (but will also take down the link to buy it!)
- There's a lot of stuff the book doesn't explain well at all; you definitely will be left with many questions. (That said, Asimov does explain a lot of things well, and I haven't found another book that can compete with his explaining abilities with this kind of breadth.)
- When we get past 1800, and especially past 1900, there are a lot more choices of what to talk about, and Asimov opts for listing every single new element, everything that won a Nobel Prize, and generally just tons and tons of hard-to-contextualize assorted scientific facts while declining to discuss a lot of important real-world inventions (for example, he doesn't mention the washing machine). By 1960, the book is nearly unreadable; it's mostly esoteric stuff that is very hard to understand and may or may not ever matter.
This book is especially strong for understanding relatively early (pre-1800, maybe pre-1900) history. After that, things get complex enough that I found myself going back through the book and stitching together entries in order to tell cohesive stories of some big developments like the discovery of metallurgy, the development of glass -> spectacles -> microscopes and telescopes, the path to Newton's laws, and the discovery of electormagnetism (culminating in Maxwell's equations, the Newton's laws of electromagnetism). My notes on that are here.
Asimov has written a terrifying number of other nonfiction books - science, history, a guide to Shakespeare, a guide to the Bible. One of his books, Asimov's Guide to Science, appears to be the same exact book as the one discussed here, just in a different order (by topic instead of chronological).


Litha: The Summer Solstice
Today, 21st June is midsummer’s day or the Summer Solstice, one of the eight sabbats in the Pagan calendar. It is the longest day, and the shortest night. After this day the wheel slower turns, and light gradually gives over to dark. In the time of rural communities, and living off the land, the seasons were of vital importance. Communities lived in accordance with the rotation of the seasons, a time to sow, a time to reap the harvest. The seasons of fertility were balanced by the wintry periods when the land slept and became barren.
Solstice comes from the Latin word solstitum. Its literal meaning is ‘sun stands still.’ As the longest day of the year this is an extreme event in the sun’s calenear, where the sun hangs in the sky for the longest period of the year.
Litha celebrates the day when the Pagan Sun God is at his zenith, the highest point of his virility. The fertility and abundance of the earth’s bounty heralds a time of rejoicing and celebration. Yet it is also the pivotal moment when the sun’s power, having reached its highest point, has nowhere else to go, except in decline. Following this day, the sun’s power will slowly begin to diminish and darkness will start to descend. So it is a turn of the wheel from fullest light to a gradual return to dark that is celebrated.
In the past, when it still meant something important, bonfires of oak wood were lit on top of hills. The positioning on high represented the space between the earth and the heavens. Alternatively the fires, representing, and honouring, the sun, could be lit close to holy wells or sacred sites. People would often jump over or run through the fire for good luck. There would be dancing round the oak fire, throwing aromatic herbs into the flames. Other early traditions included setting fire to large wheels and rolling them down a hill into a large body of water.
According to Pagan lore it is the Oak King who rules over the waxing of the year, that is from the Winter Solstice (Yule) to Litha. His light and warmth stands for strength, courage and endurance. The Celtic name for oak is ‘Duir’ which means ‘doorway.’ In this sense, the Oak King represents crossing the threshold into the second part of the year, and the waning of…

Reading time: 6 minutes
Florence is always a good idea- even during a rainy week. Regardless of the weather, walking along the Arno doesn’t lose its charm. When you’re in this city, you cannot help but realize that you are witnessing centuries of history; you are in the cradle of the Renaissance strolling among Dante, the Medici, Michelangelo, and all the artists of every era who enjoyed this magnificent city.
I was in a sort of ecstasy, from the idea of being in Florence, close to the great men whose tombs I had seen. Absorbed in the contemplation of sublime beauty . . . I reached the point where one encounters celestial sensations . . . Everything spoke so vividly to my soul.
(Stendhal, Rome, Naples et Florence, 1817)
The capital of Tuscany, like other Italian cities, screams Stendhal Syndrome on every corner and, the first few times you visit Palazzo Vecchio, the Uffizi, Santa Maria del Fiore, Palazzo Pitti, and so many more, you will begin to understand the strange phenomenon.
If you look further, however, you will discover that in Florence there are magnificent historical libraries. I had the opportunity to see some of them when I was in Tuscany for work, from one schiacciata and a lampredotto sandwich lunch break to the next and between a stop at the Museo del Bargello and the Medici Chapels.
I wholeheartedly invite you to experience the sensation of studying and working in prestigious places, of approaching the same manuscripts and printed books, even rare ones, that the greatest intellectuals of Italian and European culture have studied and used.
In some instances, special permission is required in order to gain access, especially in the case of valuable, historical texts that are centuries old; while in other cases, the Reading Room is open to the public. It’s always wise to check the official website first for opening hours and rules about access to the public.
Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale
It was founded at the beginning of the eighteenth century with the book collections of Antonio Magliabechi (librarian of Francesco Maria and Leopoldo de’ Medici) and opened to the public in 1747 as Magliabechiana. Initially located under the Uffizi loggia, it then took the name of the National Central Library and today is located in Piazza Cavalleggeri, near Santa Croce on the Lungarno. It is the largest library in Italy.
Housed in Palazzo Medici Riccardi, this library holds valuable manuscripts and rare printed works from precious Florentine collections. An example is the sixteenth-century texts owned by Riccardo Romolo which represent the first nucleus of this Library in via de’ Ginori.
Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana
This library is known for its vestibule and the Monumental Hall designed by Michelangelo. It is located inside the cloister of the Basilica of San Lorenzo and preserves the manuscripts of the Medici family- in particular, those belonging to Cosimo the Elder and his sons, Pietro and Giovanni di Cosimo de’ Medici, as well as his nephews, Lorenzo the Magnificent and Giuliano.
This library was built from scratch and inaugurated in 1752 with books donated from the personal library of Abbot Francesco Marucelli. It was also Florence’s first true cultural site open to the general public on via Cavour.
Pages could be written about Florence, its hidden gems, and its many libraries with frescoed ceilings. In addition to those already described, it is also known for the Uffizi Library, archiving the Gallery’s history and collections.
Then there is the Gabinetto Vieusseux in Palazzo Strozzi, frequented by writers such as Manzoni and Leopardi; the Library of San Marco, the oldest in the city and the idea of Cosimo the Elder; and above all, the Library of
Crusca, home of the Italian Language Academy and general linguistics.
Public Libraries With Spectacular Views
If you are looking for a public reading library, in the center of Florence and with a view of Brunelleschi’s dome, then you cannot miss the one housed in the ancient convent of the Oblates. Founded by Folco Portinari (as in, the actual father of Dante’s beloved Beatrice), today it is a three-story space open from Monday to Saturday, perfect for reading, studying, or passing time on the covered terraces overlooking the Duomo!

About the Author
Born in 1997, I am a girl who lives and works between Vercelli and Turin but as soon as I can, I leave for the weekend. There is never enough time to see this immense world full of adventures just waiting to be experienced!
Following the Covid epidemic restrictions and the limitations I experienced while traveling in France, my passion for travel grew immensely.
I’m a fairly calm person but I have never been able to stay in one place for very long. Rather than sitting under a beach umbrella, I’d much prefer exploring different beaches, art cities, and small villages. Volunteering for the FAI organization, I am also constantly finding out about new places for my next adventure.

Sowing Seeds of change by Michael Crane
I worked closely with the author to transform his PhD thesis into a more widely accessible work on urban transformation. I also wrote the chapter discussion questions and the synopsis.
In Sowing Seeds of Change, Michael Crane weaves together theology and praxis, creating a framework for understanding your city, a means of crafting a vision of what it could be, and a way forward towards transforming it.
Urban Spirituality by Karina Kreminski
In partnership with Urban Loft publishers, I provided copyediting for this book by Australian author Karina Kreminski. In addition to the usual checks for grammar and word choice, I helped identify and adjust for differences in language use among English-speaking countries.
PhD Thesis by Kresten Froistad-Martin
"Liberation and Casuistry: Joining Context-Based Methods for Ethical Approaches that Address Poverty"
I worked with the author through several rounds of revisions, helping to retain her content and voice while clarifying meaning where ambiguous and ensuring consistency of tone and accuracy of grammar.


CELEBRATING WILLSBORO HISTORY
ALVIN REINER/P-R PHOTO 7-26-2016
Visitors check out the newly erected history kiosk at the Willsboro History Center. A standing-room-only crowd attended the recent opening ceremony for the kiosk, which features eight large panels depicting the town's 250-year history. Much of the $44,000 used for the facility's construction came through the J.C. Kellogg Foundation and Patty Paine. The kiosk was dedicated to Ken and Marilyn Cole "for their love of the beauty and history of Willsboro, Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks." Willsboro Town Historian Ron Bruno collaborated with graphics designer Rob Powell and editor Mary Bell to create the historic panels. The kiosk is located by the State Route 22 bridge spanning the Boquet River and Paine Memorial Library in Willsboro.

El problema de la gestión de la inclusión de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación en la educación rural Peruana
Espíritu Barrón, Edmundo Morello
MetadataShow full item record
The research work presented below will analyse whether the investment in training in ICTrelated issues influences the Educational Management and the Teaching and Learning Processes of the educational institutions of Regular Basic Education of the educational levels of primary (6 to 12 years of age) and secondary (12 to 17 years of age) belonging to six Peruvian villages of rural areas. For this purpose, various quantitative instruments were applied to teachers at three times (baseline, midterm and expost) in two school years. The population of this work was 40 teachers, all from rural areas of the Peruvian highlands and jungle (Amazonas, Cajamarca and Junín). The results show that, in the four dimensions analysed, the progress was significant through the three stages of the evaluation, which shows that the inclusion of ICT offers great opportunities for improving educational management and teaching processes learning in the institutions studied.


Vande Mataram (Bengali: বন্দে মাতরম্, Sanskrit: वन्दे मातरम्) - Vande Mātaram - literally - "I bow to thee, Mother" - is a poem from Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay's 1882 novel Anandamath. It was written in Bengali and Sanskrit.
It is a hymn to the Mother Land . It played a vital role in the Indian independence movement, first sung in a political context by Rabindranath Tagore at the 1896 session of the Indian National Congress.
In 1950 (after India's independence), the song's first two verses were given to the official status of the "national song" of the Republic of India, distinct from the national anthem of India, Jana Gana Mana.

Del Mar Library has been feeding the minds of the young and old alike in the area since 1914. You have seen it. It is the beautiful old powder blue building on the east side of Camino Del Mar with the intricately designed shell wall.
Thanks to a few friends (District 3 Supervisor Pam Slater-Price, the Friends of the Del Mar Library, San Diego County Library, the City of Del Mar, and the Del Mar Farmer’s Market), it will be undergoing a much needed renovation that will include new carpeting (a must), a laptop bar (I’m told it will be against the ocean side window, NICE) additional furnishing updates and more.
In a world of increasing popularity of intangible reading materials, libraries have morphed into more than just a place where books are archived but rather community gathering spaces. We have moved away from the once intimidatingly silenced caverns of books to new bright, spaces with self-serve magic check-out and plenty of hosted community activities. We can’t wait to see what is in store. The renovations are set to be final by March 2013.

1. Man’s Search for Meaning
Viktor E. Frankl
Beacon Press, 2006

There are more than a hundred books every conservative must read. I mean, there’s hardly a bookstore without books written by right-wing authors.
Conservatism has gained unforeseen followership in recent years. One may attribute this growth to several factors, some of which are the renewed interest in the history behind America’s Conservatism, Obama’s presidency, the Tea Party groundswell, and a growing list of Conservative authors.
Below, there are essential books you must read as a Conservative. This list doesn’t claim to be thoroughly exhaustive or comprehensive, but it suggests the fundamental texts that you have to read to know and understand Conservatism.
“The conscience of the Conservative is pricked by anyone who would debase the dignity of the individual human being. Today, therefore, he is at odds with dictators who rule by terror, and equally with those gentler collectivists who ask our permission to play God with the human race.”
People refer to this classic as the spark that rekindled interest in Conservatism in the 1900s. It was written in 1964 by Barry Goldwater, the Arizona Senator, who was then making a bid for the White House.
The opening pages of the book differentiate between the right-wing and left-wing. The Conscience of A Conservative has remained relevant in the right-leaning circles since its first publication 56 years ago. It is a must-read for any young conservative.
Many regard Democracy In America as one of the most detailed and impactful books ever written on America’s political society. The pages span across 17 out of 24 states in the former Union, reporting and assessing the observations of nearly the entire American nation. The book interviewed all categories of persons, be it settlers, accountants, lawyers, doctors, artisans, homemakers, or politicians.
Democracy In America reported a quest that lasted nine months. The book was co-written by Gustave de Beaumont, Alexis’ friend, who traveled with him out of their post-revolutionary hometown.
If you typed “Atlas” on your keyboard now, I bet that “Shrugged” would be the next suggestion. This should hint you of the book’s popularity and influence across America. Ayn Rand, the founder of Objectivist, wrote Atlas Shrugged as her fourth and final book, and it turned out to be the peak of her writings.
The book fuses fiction with reality. It narrates the travails of dystopian America, describing a society that fails due to excess government intervention and the disappearance of patriotic and productive individuals, most notably John Galt. Through the characters, Rand preaches her fundamental principles of individualism, philosophy, capitalism, reasoning, and “rational selfishness.”
Although published in 1957, Atlas Shrugged remains a must-have on the shelf of any Conservative reader. And so, the next time you see “Who is John Galt?” on a Tea Party sticker, remember Ayn Rand.
Written in 1787 by three of America’s Founding Fathers, The Federalist Papers is a series of 85 essays documenting the debates surrounding the ratification of the American constitution.
The Federalist Papers is very critical to history. The judiciary uses The Federalist Papers to make decisions on issues concerning the constitution.
According to a study by the Georgia School of Law, Federalist 78 is the most quoted chapter in the book. This chapter deals with judicial powers.
If you are interested in knowing the perspectives of opposing Fathers, you should read the Anti-federalist Papers.
Witness was written as a type of autobiography. The book follows the author’s life from childhood right until adulthood. Whittaker describes his life as a Communist spy for the Soviet Union as well as the outing details of some high-ranking government officials. A notable example is Alger Hiss, a top officer in the United States department of state.
Whittaker’s chronicles had a significant influence on the American political horizon. It caused the infamous hunt of Senator Joseph McCarthy by the Communists and introduced low-level congressman, Richard Nixon, to national limelight.
The most telling contribution of Witness, however, was the ignition of the conservative movement that climaxed with Ronald Reagan becoming President in 1980.
Since its release in 1944, The Road to Serfdom has remained evergreen in the library of Libertarians and the free-market thinkers. The author, Friedrich, backed by his then recent Nazi experience, campaigned against government control while he advocated that individuals were allowed more economic freedom.
The Road to Serfdom strongly criticized the increased central planning that the whole of Europe considered in that era. Thankfully, Hayek’s book spurred some success.
The establishment of the Liberty Movement by Ron Paul and the dominance of the Tea Party have reignited interest in the works of Von Hayek and his Austrian compatriot, Ludwig Von Mises. As a statement, Fox News dedicated a complete episode to The Road To Serfdom in 2010.
The Conservative Mind was published in 1953 as a dissertation of Conservatism after the second world war. The author, Russell Kirk, who is one of the most respected and read Conservative authors, follows the development of Conservatism from the 1800s.
The book assesses the 18th-century works of Edmund Burke, whom Kirk earmarked as “the father of modern conservatism” down to those of Santayana, another well-read philosopher. Throughout the book, Kirk maintains that Conservatism is a way of life, and not an ideology as many thought.
“In essence, the body of belief that we call ‘conservatism’ is an affirmation of normality in the concerns of society. There exist standards to which we may repair; man is not perfectible, but he may achieve a tolerable degree of order, justice, and freedom….”
Conservatism is a way of life, a viewpoint, and not an ideology. If you’re just starting the movement or interested in some insightful reading, the list of books every Conservative must read discussed above is a great place to start.

The Martins have updated and expanded each entry in this, the fourth edition, to include current phone numbers and addresses, brief overviews, hours of operation, etc. It is the Martins irreverent sense of humor, personal opinions, and high sense of fun that most distinguishes this tome from other Bay Area guides. It is truly an intimate, and enthusiastic traveling companion.

Catch: A Discovery of America

And, find people he does, who regale, reflect and remark on every foible and fancy of humankind.

Chasing the Dragon, Into the Heart of the Golden Triangle
by Christopher R. Cox
Boston Herald journalist Cox takes us through Burma and Thailand with the reporter's skepticism and a relatively inexperienced traveler's enthusiasm. The combination required Cox to rely on friends, new and old, and "the kindness of strangers" to file this often hilarious, sometimes poignant , report on the growing pains of this area with its fluctuating economies, its dirty politics, its beautiful people and awesome landscape. Reads like a novel but it's the real story through and through.

Mississippi Currents: Journeys Through Time and A Valley
by Andrew H. Malcolm and Roger Straus III
The black and white photographs by Straus and the crisp, unsentimental prose of Malcolm make this book an ideal choice for the coffee table that will be picked up and read and re-read for many months to come. In his clear-eyed way, with not a small dose of poetic turns, Malcolm has created not a travelogue but an historical narrative that reveals the mighty Mississippi, warts and wonders. The Straus photos have a serenity that words can not do justice by; one has to see them to feel them and listen to what they say about the people of the river and the mystery of this uniquely American waterway.
No Mercy: A Journey to the Heart of the Congo
by Redmond O'Hanlon
(Fictitious character) Redmond O'Hanlon is the Indiana Jones of travel writing, and probably one of the finest and most daring writers of our time. As the last of the great Victorian explorers, O'Hanlon is himself an endangered species who believes that there is nothing too fearsome, venomous or deadly to deter him. He has traveled the world over, most recently to the heart of the Congo. In this book, O'Hanlon enters the virtually impenetrable swamps of the African Congo with Larry Shaffer, and American scientist and friend, to investigate reports of a dinosaur living in Lake Tele. No Mercy is a classic tale of travel and natural history. O'Hanlon and Sheffer face supernatural threats, snakes, lethal insects, all-powerful magicians you name it. The narrative about this little-explored region and the men trying to understand it is both insightful and humorous. No Mercy is a quest for the meaning of magic and the purpose of religion, a celebration of the comforts and mysteries of science, and a deeply compassionate telling of a vanishing world.

Laid out by neighborhood, (with an alphabetical table of contents, and an ethnic food directory) this book also contains six locator maps to further aid the selection process. This 11th edition focuses on Manhattan's most characteristic restaurants in terms of quality, creativity, atmosphere, type of cuisine, neighborhood and value -- at all price points.

The Size of the World: A Global Odyssey Around the World Without Leaving the Ground
by Jeff Greenwald

In our shrinking world, it's refreshing to be reminded that self discovery can still be made via the time-honored tradition of world adventure. 28 color photos, too.
Sonoma Valley: The Secret Wine Country
by Kathleen and Gerald Hill
Few guidebooks truly contain the insider information they promise on the cover. This one does. Kathleen and Gerald Hill have lived in California's Sonoma Valley since the 1970's. They have packed this book with the sort of details picked up only by those who have lived there over time: the best times to visit certain restaurants, for example, and the places nearest certain wineries to find a perfect picnic spot. Anyone expecting to tour Sonoma Valley would do well to keep this book handy for planning a well organized and scenic trip.
The Grapes Grow Sweet
by Lynne Tuft
This colorful book chronicles the real-life story of Julian Rossi, a four-year old whose family owns a Napa Valley winery. It tells -- through a child's eyes -- about the experience of helping during the harvest activities.
by Helene Siegel
You don't even have to lift your backpack to enjoy this one. In fact, given the equipment you'll be carrying (outlined in the introduction), it's better if you don't. This book is for the car-campers among us, and for folks who think that sleeping under the stars deserves food as good as anything they'd eat at home. So forget the dehydrated food in aluminum packets. Don't even think about dried fruit or beef jerky--this is real food.

The Ukimwi Road: From Kenya to Zimbabwe
by Dervla Murphy
The Ukimwi Road, named for the Swahili word for Ebola, a virus of epidemic proportions added to the terror of AIDS in this area, is the centerpiece of this heart-rending tale. Her riveting account of her 3,000 mile trip through the Sub-Saharan Africa, by bicycle, is astonishing, putting faces and names to the news stories we view each night.
