I found the book to be more complex than what I anticipated, and rather full of excellent concepts. I am planning to work my way back through it in the next few months. The book is geared towards the business leader, yet I found all the concepts discussed applicable to day-to-day life. The book deals with how we show up at work, and our propensities in American business to be “left-brain” dominant, which squeezes out our “right-brain” way of thinking and being. Pink describes the minds of right-brain thinkers as closely matching the minds of inventors, storytellers, creators, and emotionally intuitive and relational people. He contends that the future will undoubtedly be in the hands of these right-brain thinkers. The need for “a whole new mind” is born out of the continued growth in global outsourcing of “left-brain type roles.” The takeaway is the need to become intentional around resurrecting the right-brain “six essential aptitudes,” as Pink describes them in the book. The six essential aptitudes are: • Design — the creation process • Story — the narrative • Symphony — seeing and putting together the big picture; he calls it the ability to synthesize vs. analyze • Empathy — connecting with other feelings; emotional intelligence • Play — having fun and laughing as key to health and wellness • Meaning — purpose and emotional abundance rather than material abundance By being intentional around these six core areas, we can engage right-brain qualities that are critical to success in business and life. While one may not agree with each concept the book presents, the data, stories and recommendations still will make an excellent read and discussion topics for building service contractors and their teams. The book is packed with lots of good research and practical suggestions of what to do with this information, and how to engage and develop your right-brain. This is a great book to read and process with your teammates, as it challenges conventional thinking on many fronts, and engages right-brain thinking in the process, even in the way it is written. A discussion around each of the six areas, their application in life and business, and how to develop those areas can be most helpful in business and life. Yasser Youssef President The Budd Group Winston-Salem, North Carolina A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink According to author Daniel Pink, the future belongs to a different kind of thinker — the artists, inventors and others who are creative. The next generation of business leaders also will be those who show empathy and have fun. In “A Whole New Mind,” published by Riverhead Books, Pink uses research and case studies to define six human abilities that are fundamental for future success.

1.Science of Carbon Storage in Deep Saline Formations: Process Coupling across Time and Spatial Scales
This book summarizes state-of-the-art research, emphasizing how the coupling of physical and chemical processes as subsurface systems re-equilibrate during and after the injection of CO2. In addition, it addresses, in an easy-to-follow way, the lack of knowledge in understanding the coupled processes related to fluid flow, geomechanics and geochemistry over time and spatial scales. The book uniquely highlights process coupling and process interplay across time and spatial scales that are relevant to geological carbon storage.


I've suffered through more Art History classes than I care to recall. They taught me a great deal about what's been done before, but the great questions of why does art exist was largely left to our speculation. Likewise, the practical question of why one would choose one art style over another was always attributed purely to the philosophies of the artists through time, reacting to their environment and the work of the artists before them. This did not imbue me with a great deal of respect for art.
I really wish my Art History teacher had assigned this book. Scott McCloud talks more clearly about what art is, what it's good for, and how it functions effectively than the three semesters of lecture I had about what's gone before. It seems like practitioners of Art History talk about art almost exclusively through writing, but writing is a visual, emotional medium, and you lose a lot approaching it exclusively through text. By writing comics about art, McCloud integrates show and tell in a way that seems like this is how art was always meant to be discussed.
Anyone learning about art or design should prioritize reading this book. Suddenly, art makes sense!
DawnPaladin, I fully agree that "Understanding Comics" is a fantastic title, and required reading for anyone who wants to understand the structure and effects of clear storytelling (and many basic concepts about art) in any medium. I had heard of this book, but did not know that it was a must read. I had a workshop with Ian Noble (RIP) not too long ago, and he told me that I should read it. After a few hours at the library with this book I was hooked, and a phrase that Noble told me helped me unlock my project the next day. "Space does for comics what time does for film."
I would like to add Will Eisner's book "Graphic Storytelling and Visual Narrative" as another must read. It's spot on with many levels of analysis of visual storytelling. Be well! Congrats on the success of your Periodic Table of Storytelling, I have included in in my MA thesis.
Unless David changed it since last summer...


Anna Maria Di Cocco passed away quietly on the 18th of November at Capital Health Regional Medical Center in Trenton, New Jersey, after a short illness. She is survived by her children, Marie Luise, Ricardo (Lt Col, AF-Ret), Catarina, Marc (Lt Col, AF-Ret), and Christina. She also leaves ten grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, as well as her brother, Hans Bopp, and numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews. She was preceded in her heavenly journey by her husband, Chief Master Sergeant Severino Di Cocco (Air Force, retired), of Pennington, NJ, an infant son, Joseph, and her parents, Paul Franz Bopp and Eva Luise Bopp.
She was born Anna Maria Katharina Bopp on March 2nd, 1928 in the small town of Niederhöchstadt, Germany. She survived the horrors of World War Two as a young girl struggling daily for food, safety, and normalcy as she faced the constant danger of Allied bombings. After the war she provided clerical and translation support in Frankfurt for the American military as it labored to restore peace and prosperity to the German people. During the Berlin Airlift, Anna Maria was working for the commander of one of the US Air Force airlift squadrons. It was there she met a young airman, “Sevy” Di Cocco. It was only after his insistent pursuit of Anna that she finally agreed to a date “just so he would stop pestering me.” As the airlift drew to a close and his squadron left Germany, Sevy wrote to Anna repeatedly with words of romance and affection. Their love for each other grew over the months and miles culminating in their marriage on October 4th, 1952, in her hometown in Germany.
Like many other postwar German brides, Anna came to America facing the challenges of being newly wed to a husband in the military. Throughout Sevy’s career of nearly 30 years, she made a home wherever they lived during his various Air Force assignments across the United States and Europe. She worked various jobs to help support their family. As a self-described “ferocious reader” one of her favorite occupations over the years was being a librarian’s assistant. When Sevy retired and they moved back to Pennington, Anna worked for many years as an assistant librarian and office assistant at Hopewell Valley Central High School. She was an accomplished cook and loved to bake, especially at Christmas, when she would give boxes and tins of cakes and cookies to her friends, coworkers, children’s teachers, and later to her grown children’s families.
Anna also fell in love with American football, first for teams at the Air Force base in Frankfurt, Germany, and in later years rooting for various NFL teams during their frequent moves. She also loved to travel, earlier as a young mother with her family across Europe and the United States, and in retirement with her husband touring far-flung locations from Alaska to Mexico, Panama, Kazakhstan, Korea, Israel, Italy, her beloved Germany, and Russia. Anna enjoyed gardening, growing both beautiful flowers and the many fruits and vegetables she prepared for the dinner table. She enjoyed the outdoors of her home in Pennington and could often be seen feeding the birds--and chasing squirrels and deer away from the garden.
Anna was an active parishioner with Sevy at St. James Catholic Church in Pennington, serving as a Eucharistic Minister and singing in the choir for many years. She also volunteered at the St Lawrence Rehabilitation Center in Lawrenceville. In recent years since her husband’s passing, she resided at Brandywine Living in Pennington, where she made many friends among the residents and staff, and enjoyed many trips and resident activities.
She will be missed by her children and her extended family and friends. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Foundation of Morris Hall/St Lawrence. Viewing will be at St. James Catholic Church in Pennington, NJ, on Saturday, November 25th, at 9 am, followed by the funeral mass at 10 am. Burial will follow at a future date at Arlington National Cemetery. Arrangements are under the care of the Blackwell Memorial Home, Pennington. www.blackwellmh.com

By Alex Bayer
During the burgeoning age of literature in the time of Geoffrey Chaucer, poems and other works were used not only as entertainment, but also, in some cases, as general written communication. While this was not necessarily common, it did happen, and some of these missives became popular in their own right as exceptional poems and stories. The piece “The Complaint of Chaucer to His Empty Purse” serves the dual purpose of an actual request from Chaucer for his annuity, and as an example of Chaucer’s poetic abilities. There is a fair amount of speculation surrounding the poem, especially since it was written in a specifically turbulent part of England’s history. It was a time where someone who had been a known friend of Richard II may wish to keep his head down for fear of the wroth of Henry IV. But as we all know, life must go on, and a little walking around money is an important thing to have.
The Complaint of Chaucer to His Purse was eventually released as a letter to the new king Henry, though when and to whom the complaint was actually written, and to whom, is an enduring question in the study of Chaucer. This question also leads to another interesting question; was Chaucer playing the game of politics or was he simply adapting to the changing times? The Piece itself exhibits many similar features as some of Chaucer’s other requests; at no point in the main bodies of the texts does Chaucer ever refer to his intended audience. Instead they are mini dialogues between two characters, such as Chaucer’s portrayal of himself and the personification of his purse as a lover who has become cold and “lyght”. The light hearted nature of this poem is something that would have been right at home in Richard II court. Chaucer, being a regular guest there and having written a number of pieces for the court, would have known this. Therefor it accomplishes multiple goals in just the few short lines. It serves as a true petition the king, entertainment for the court, and a reminder of his abilities as a poet, something that could have fallen from the king’s mind with the many other things occurring in the kingdom now. As it turns out, Richard II never got Chaucer’s complaint to his purse. About this time, the Lancasters lead by Henry IV, decide the time was ripe for an invasion of England. During this takeover, Richard was pursuing a campaign in Ireland, and thus had the vast majority of his strength in the field with him. This left very little in the defense of London when Henry’s revolt came crashing to the shores of England. So by the time the complaint was delivered, there was a new king on the throne; one who Chaucer knew, but maybe not on such close terms as he did the deposed king Richard. Now, with the lack of surviving historical data from the time, and concerning the nature of writing and poetry itself, no one quite knows which monarch the complaint was meant for.
As it is, there are a couple facets of the poem that point to one king or the other. The first being the style in which the poem was written. Much like the other two famous petitions of Chaucer, Fortune and Lenvoy de Chaucer a Scogan, The Compliant of Chaucer to His Empty Purse is written as a narrative, not a direct request to his potential benefactor. Indeed, throughout the poem Chaucer is literally complaining about and to his purse.
To yow, my purse, and to noon other wight
Complayne I, for ye be my lady dere.
I am so sory, now that ye been lyght;
For certes but yf ye make me hevy chere,
Me were as leef be layd upon my bere;
For which unto your mercy thus I crye,
Beth hevy ageyn, or elles mot I dye.
This serves two different schools of thought in two different ways. Either this mechanic was to give it a lighter, more jovial tune as suggested by Lindeboom, a modern Chaucer scholar, or it was written this way as a kind of protection from a new, less forgiving king. Because Chaucer was petitioning the king for money with this poem , though this is another question that has been debated here and there, he most likely would have wanted to do it in a style that made his stand out from the countless other supplicants to the throne. He also most likely wanted to remind the reader of all the ability for entertainment and joy he could provide, essentially a “this is why you are paying me” argument. And lastly, should he incur the wrath or dislike of the king for such an inquiry, it’s set up in a way so that Chaucer could potentially construe the poem as simply a tale between himself and a lovely lady, albeit one with remarkable similarities to his wallet. As it turns out however, the piece was received exactly how Chaucer hoped it would by, and it was received by Henry IV, who quickly doubled his annuity. (Lindeboom 748) There is however, what appears to be an addition to the original body of the poem, a five line “envoy” that breaks the characters and mood of the poem to say:
O conquerour of Brutes Albyon,
Which that by lyne and free eleccion
Been verray kyng, this song to yow I sende;
And ye, that mowen alle oure harmes amende,
Have mynde upon my supplicacion!
This addition hails the new king Henry as the new and rightful king by conquest, popular vote, and lineage, though rather conspicuously not by the grace of God. As it turns out, if you are going to ask a king or another leader for money, it never hurts to acknowledge their position and importance, especially when it is a new and potentially fragile thing. He even equates Henry to Brutus Albion, a conquering hero of legend known throughout Britain. This short addition also gives the appearance of very quickly breaking ties with Richard’s court, though in some ways in seems very nearly satirical. Chaucer refers to Henry as being “verray” king by conquest and free election, though the propaganda machine of Henry tried to play down the conquest part of Henry’s take over, and there was definitely no election. While this was a good addition in support of Chaucer’s new king, it was also a little over done on the praise.
There is a major point concerning this envoy that hasn’t come up yet though, it does appear to be an addition to the original poem. It is also the only place in Chaucer’s three petitions where he breaks the narrative and directly addresses his audience. (Burrow 351) Why was a poem not written to include these praises if it was initially intended for Henry? This leads to the opposing thought that it was in fact never written for Henry at all, but for a no longer relevant Richard II. Regardless of the poem being written in mood and style for the old king’s court, the narrative would probably have still been an enjoyable sojourn from the other court documents and requests. This probably contributed to the decision not to write an entirely new poem, something we can assume Chaucer was quite capable of. Instead it was deemed sufficient to tack on a piece that may very well have been more pleasing to Henry than a new piece. There was one thing that Henry was in need of that Chaucer could provide, literary support to his rule, something that could be replicated and dispersed as propaganda for the new king. This five line envoy gives the supporters of Henry just that, an easily duplicated praise of their new king.
The style of Henry IV court was also a major change from Richard’s, as Lindeboon writes about the mood of both the poem and Richard’s taste, “It is pleasantly and cleverly courtly, addressing his purse as if it were a beloved lady whose golden appearance and pleasing sound he is eagerly looking forward to, a way of dealing with the subject that is well in tune with the spirit of Richard’s court.” (Lindeboom 746) This is quite feasible, as Richard’s court was known for its literary freedom and almost feminine mood focused on peace and prosperity, not characterized by the typical warring and conquering atmosphere.
It seems that while Chaucer was a writer at heart, he was also a regular in the court of the king. If this is the case, than there is little doubt that he would have had to deal with the politics of England many times throughout his career. Based on the apparent popularity of Chaucer in Richard II court, it is likely that Chaucer himself actively worked to help this relationship prosper. While this does not necessarily point to a politically savvy version of Chaucer, his actions during the transition of kings does give him certain cleverness. I could be argued that Chaucer’s Complaint to His Empty Purse would have been more effective as a petition if an entirely new poem was written for Henry IV, however, this complaint did not necessarily have only one objective. As Richard Horvath puts it, “these poems also work against the widespread supposition that they are primarily occasional.” (173) Essentially, Chaucer’s Complaint to His Empty Purse and a number of his other seemingly private writings we actually meant as public works. Because these were intended for public use, it is reasonable to assume that Chaucer’s final five lines in the complaint to his purse may have been written for the purpose of distribution.
So it does seem probable that the poem was originally conceived for Chaucer’s deposed king, though he quickly made himself an apparent supporter of the new power over both his money and his life. As it turns out however, even though Chaucer’s bid for more money was successful, he would unfortunately not live to enjoy it as he would die in the months following this poem, whether by some natural cause or a knife in the night we may never know. It does appear however that the evidence points not to a death by the will of Henry, unless in some clever scheme of his, as Chaucer was actually a benefit to his fledgling reign, and connected to the Lancaster house through marriage. Unfortunately we will most likely never know how Chaucer died, or many other things about his life and works. The time of Chaucer is referred to as the dark ages because there is so little recorded history to illuminate them and the rise of the literature in the English vernacular. If nothing else though, it is clear that Chaucer was a savvy contributor to England’s life and politics, something that may or may not have led to his death in the end.

3 months ago when my church first announced the Bible study on Psalms, I was excited because I thought I was going to learn facts about the Psalms. I was looking forward to a history lesson and background information that would help me better understand them.
But God had another plan for me. The course wasn't about facts and history, but the emotions and poetry. Each week we examined psalms from a different perspective and each week I couldn't figure out how there could be another week like this. What else could be gleaned from such an approach?
At the end of the 10 weeks, several of us agreed that this course did not go the way we thought or originally wanted it to. However, it took us to a place of such higher understanding and closeness to God. It was absolutely amazing as only He can do it!
The Psalms are the heart of the Old Testament. While Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy, etc., give us the framework of the Israelites, the Psalms expose to us the emotions behind all of it. In this book is the agony of feeling defeated, the frustration of feeling forgotten, the joy of God's miracles and praise of the Almighty when all else fails.
Need a prayer? Leaf through the pages of Psalms. You'll find your emotions so beautifully written out by someone else. You begin to realize God knows what you're feeling, He understands your hurt and frustration. And He'll bring you back to where you feel like praising Him. Read, meditate, pray and enjoy!


Regional Library “Emanuil Popdimitrov” dedicates the week before November 1 – the Day of the National Revival Leaders of the Bulgarian literature, education and culture.
During this week students from the primary and secondary schools in Kyustendil will have the opportunity to enjoy educational workshops to get to know the graphic symbols of the Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabet and the history of writing, as well as to try different methods of writing that our ancestors have used – on sand or even on a typewriter from the recent past.
On October 31, 2020, a demonstration of the Gutenberg printing press will take place. The press is a copy of the original from the 15th century and was made by Dian Pavlov. He is also the author of the exhibition “Before and After Gutenberg”
The main goal of the project is to increase the interest and knowledge of the children from Kyustendil to the role and importance of the Bulgarian alphabets – Glagolitic and Cyrillic, for the survival of the Bulgarian spirit over the centuries, to strengthen the belief that writing is one of the most important achievements of mankind.

When I was a tween I found Stephen King. Over the next years I read everything he’d written (including Danse Macabre which, let’s face it, why did I read Danse Macabre?). This morning I was reading one of the myriad articles slamming GRRM for his private/rude/secretive relationship with his readers, and reflected on what a different relationship I had with authors 25+ years ago.
I distinctly remember going to the local library and pulling out a thick tome called Who’s Who. I looked up Stephen King. It mentioned some of his popular works, then listed some works-in-progress. I still remember how excited I was to get a glimpse into a writer’s future. I knew something that few others did–Stephen King was working on a book called The Plant. Now, as far as I can tell, The Plant never came out (or its title was changed, or it was a short story/novella and not a full novel) but I’m still connected to the excitement of that discovery. All I had were the lists of “Other Works” at the front of the paperback, and the dutiful checking of store shelves for one I’d missed.
So, back to Danse Macabre. Why did I read Danse Macabre at 12? Because the only way to connect with a beloved writer was by reading his published work, even if it was nonfiction. The writer was a person who could only be connected to by reading, like a long-distance relationship with bursts of intimacy punctuating a state of yearning, hope, and anticipation.
It’s a different world now. I read dozens of tweets a day by writers. I know their works in progress in real time. I read interviews, and op-eds, and blog posts. I know when they’re having a bad day, I know their kids’ names, I know their tastes in whiskey. Shamefully, I connect with writers without ever reading their fiction. I have also stopped reading writers’ fiction I liked because I didn’t like their politics or what I gleaned of their personalities.
This isn’t a nostalgic screed against social media culture, but it is a lament for the lost experience of surprise and discovery and covert book knowledge. A eulogy for the discovery of a unexpected book in an unexpected place at an unexpected time. I miss the hunt and the reward that followed.
So GRRM, I hope that you are planning the biggest retro-surprise in history. I hope that you drop the rest of the Ice and Fire series unnanounced. I hope I walk into a bookstore and simply find it on the shelf, sitting there without fanfare, without media storm, without the clerk even realizing what they’ve got.
And if you do that, I promise I won’t tell anyone.

was gone, being released, Anne ran up to her room, placed the fern in water, and then, happening to think of it,
looked at herself in the glass. The result was not cheering. Like most women, she judged herself by the order of her hair and
dress; they were both frightful.
Miss Vanhorn, also caught in the storm, did not return until late twilight. Anne, not knowing what she would decree when she
heard the story of the day, had attired herself in the thick white school-girl dress which had been selected on another
occasion of penance–the evening after the adventure at the quarry. It was an inconvenient time to tell the story. Miss
Vanhorn was tired and cross, tea had been sent up to the room, and Bessmer was waiting to arrange her hair. “What have you
been doing now?” she said. “Climbing trees? Or breaking in colts?”
Anne told her tale briefly. The old woman listened, without comment, but watching her closely all the time.


The Glass Sentence
Boston, 1891. Sophia Tims comes from a family of explorers and cartologers who, for generations, have been traveling and mapping the New World - a world changed by the Great Disruption of 1799, when all the continents were flung into different time periods. Eight years ago, her parents left her with her uncle Shadrack, the foremost cartologer in Boston, and went on an urgent mission. They never returned. Life with her brilliant, absent-minded, adored uncle has taught Sophia to take care of herself. Then Shadrack is kidnapped. And Sophia, who has rarely been outside of Boston, is the only one who can search for him.
Together with Theo, a refugee from the West, she travels over rough terrain and uncharted ocean, encounters pirates and traders, and relies on a

But even as Sophia and Theo try to save Shadrack's life, they are in danger of losing their own.

It is the summer of 1892, one year since Sophia Tims and her friend Theo embarked upon the dangerous adventure that rewrote the map of the world. Since their return to Boston, Sophia has continued searching for clues to her parents' disappearance, combing archives and libraries, grasping at even the most slender leads. Theo has apprenticed himself to an explorer and gone across the country in order to follow those leads, but each one proves to be a dead end.
Then Sophia discovers that the key to their search exists in a foreign Age. At the same time, Theo discovers that his old life outside the law threatens to destroy the new one he has built with Sophia and her uncle Shadrack. What he and Sophia do not know is that their separate discoveries are intertwined, and one remarkable person is part of both.
There is a city that holds all of the answers but it cannot be found on any map. Surrounded by plague, it lies at the end of a journey through darkness. Only one thing can light the way: the Golden Specific.
The Crimson Skew
It is late August 1892, and Sophia Tims is coming home from a foreign Age, having risked her life in search of her missing parents. Now she is aboard ship, with a hard-earned, cryptic map that may help her find them at long last.
But her homecoming is anything but peaceful. Threatening clouds hang over New Orleans harbor. Sinkholes have been opening in Boston, swallowing parts of the city whole. Rogue weirwinds tear up the Baldlands. Worst of all, New Occident is at war, led by a prime minister who will do anything to expand the country westward. He has blackmailed Sophia's beloved uncle Shadrack into drawing the battle maps that will lead countless men and boys - including Sophia's best friend, Theo - to their deaths.
As Sophia puzzles out her next move, Shadrack is peeling back layers of government intrigue, and Theo is bracing himself to fight. A red fog of war is rising, and New Occident's future hangs in the balance. . . .
The Crimson Skew is the thrilling final act of S. E. Grove's acclaimed Mapmakers Trilogy - three unforgettable books set in a world like no other.

The Linn County Law Library recently won a $41,000.00 ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) grant award for the operation and maintenance of an eviction prevention program. The eviction prevention clinic will help provide referrals to housing and rental assistance to qualified families that are facing imminent eviction from rental housing. Organizations that are in support of the project include: the Community Services Consortium (CSC), Legal Aid Services of Oregon (LASO), Neighbor-to-Neighbor Mediation, the Linn-Benton Housing Authority (LBHA), and the Albany Public Library – just to name a few.
Linn County’s eviction prevention clinic will offer low-income persons living in Oregon guidance in filling out court forms and/or the OERAP (Oregon Rental Emergency Assistance Program) application. The clinic will also provide assistance with accessing a pro-bono attorney from Legal Aid, finding community organizations that provide information about evictions or helping fill out forms for various public services (SSI, WIC, unemployment, etc.). Project objectives and goals are as follows:
- Early intervention by promoting mediation, negotiation, or arbitration and assistance from Legal Aid and other supportive services
- A reduction in the number of Forcible Entry and Detainer’s (FED’s) in Linn County and the greater Oregon area
- Reducing the number of evictions
- Preventing the cascading negative effects of eviction
- Improving housing stability
The eviction prevention clinic will offer limited assistance with legal forms and referrals to partner firms or organizations for help with legal issues that we do not provide ourselves. The clinic will assist persons at risk of an eviction, find alternative housing options, or find sources of financial support to pay back rent and utilities.
The law library will help tenants to complete the OREAP application, and will provide assistance with accessing court forms including fee deferral or waiver applications and declarations, answers to residential complaints, motions to set aside residential eviction judgments, and so on.
Direct services include (but are not limited to):
• Expansion of information, education, training and support for renters at risk of eviction
• Referrals to Legal Aid and other community services such as the Community Service
Consortium (CSC) to handle emergency eviction issues
• The coordination of volunteer pro bono attorneys for eviction defense to help assist under-served communities
Tenants and landlords in Linn County can contact the law library if they have questions, need to complete court forms, or would like to attend a legal presentation about landlord/tenant and eviction issues in Oregon. For more information, please contact 541-924-6902.

XtraMath’s Clever integration is through the Clever Library. This is a bit different from Secure Sync apps in Clever. District admins cannot push a Library app out to teachers — instead, each teacher will need to install the app individually. Give teachers this direct link to our Library app, and they can install it for their own classes: clever.com/library/app/xtramath.
You can also “recommend” XtraMath, making the app more visible in the teachers’ Clever Libraries. To do so, go to your Dashboard within Clever, choose Portal from the menu, then Library Settings. Search for XtraMath and add it to the recommended list. The direct link to this recommendation page is schools.clever.com/library/recommendations.
Library apps receive more limited information than Secure Sync apps. For example, we get the student’s first name and their last initial, but not their full name. We get class rosters and basic teacher information (name and email address) but no information about the school or district.
District admins cannot push a Library app out to teachers, the way they can with Secure Sync apps, but they can block Library apps via Library Settings. You can choose either to block all apps, or specific ones. Here is Clever’s support page about managing Library apps as a district admin. Note that blocking the XtraMath app from the teachers’ libraries will not block teachers from signing up for XtraMath independently via our website.


The Holy Celtic Church exists to assist people in the spiritual life, following the commendation of the Lord Jesus Christ, ‘Seek first the kingdom of God’, and is therefore committed to developing the interior and spiritual life of the soul, with the principal emphasis being upon the interior work of prayer and meditation.
The Holy Celtic Church is one of several small churches established in the post Second World War period of the last century. The emergence of this independent Church was in part due to public dissatisfaction with the changing role and attitudes of the major churches, but mainly it was inspired by the spiritual idealism of the primitive British Church. More commonly known today as the Celtic Church, the ancient British Church was established in Roman Britain long before Augustine’s mission in 597AD, although opinions differ concerning when this actually took place.
Some historians argue that the establishment of the Church took place in the second or third century, while others believe the Church was first planted in Britain in the middle of the First Century. Whatever the truth might be concerning this question, and in all probability we will never know for certain, it is reasonably clear from archaeological evidence that Christianity was established in Roman Britain for a very long time before Augustine arrived.
The Ancient British Church consisted of Christian communities sharing the same beliefs and rites, yet working autonomously under the jurisdiction of independent bishops. However, following the Fourth Century reforms of Constantine and his successors, fundamental differences arose between the Celtic Church and the increasingly powerful Church of Rome. As the political influence and power of the Roman Church grew so the influence of the British Church declined, a long and slow decline that involved several factors, one of which was a long period of civil conflict.
Gildas, a Briton and a monastic who lived in the first half of the sixth century, relates in his work De Excidio Brittaniae (The oldest surviving record of post-Roman Britain), that following the withdrawal of the Roman legions in the late fourth century, Britain was left without appropriate military defences, and became subject to frequent predatory attacks and raids from the Picts in the North, who raided on land across the northern border and by sea along the East Coast. Britain was also frequently attacked by Irish raiders in the West. At the same time internal civil conflicts that frequently turned into civil war, tore apart the fabric of Romano-British society, resulting in a state of social anarchy which prevailed throughout the fifth and sixth centuries.
This situation was further exacerbated by Anglo-Saxon invaders who from the mid-fifth century onwards accelerated their territorial expansion, and whose depredations upon the population destabilized the British Church to such an extent that the Church and many of its clergy were driven from eastern and central Britain into the West of Britain, the Highlands of both Scotland and Wales and across the sea to Ireland. Many fled to the region of Gaul we now know as Brittany.
Monasticism reached Britain in the fifth century. Monastic settlements, such as Bardsey Island and Llangadfan, which were established by St. Cadfan in the mid fifth century, were often located in isolated areas of western and northern Britain. However, Ireland, being generally free from the turmoil of the mainland, proved to be a more conducive environment for monastic communities. Around such settlements the ancient Church rallied, consolidated its resources and began to rebuild itself. Indeed, it is likely that St Patrick’s mission in Ireland started from such communities. In 597AD, Augustine began his mission of persuading the much reduced British Church to accept the authority of Rome, and converting the Anglo-Saxons to Roman Christianity. At first the British Church resisted Augustine’s overtures, but eventually, at the Synod of Whitby 664 AD, many of the Bishops were persuaded to accept Roman authority, thus the ancient British and new Anglo-Saxon jurisdictions were fused into one. Over the course of time most of the ancient Church was slowly absorbed into the Church of Rome.
During the Reformation, and after the accession of Elizabeth I, Roman Catholicism, including whatever remained of the ancient British Church, was proscribed and persecuted by law, which effectively brought about the extinction of the ancient Church. And so it remained until the mid-nineteenth century, when a Celtic renaissance took place and a considerable number of committed Christians were inspired to pursue the ideal of the simple and pure spirituality that they perceived in the primitive British Church.
Their vision was initially realised when an independent canonical jurisdiction was established in Britain by Jules Ferrette, who had been consecrated by Ignatius Peter III, the Syrian Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch and the East. He commissioned Mar Julius as Patriarchal Legate for Western Europe with the power to erect there an indigenous and autocephalous patriarchate. The hierarchy was thus restored in the person of Julius of Iona. The succession continued with the Richard Williams Morgan, who was consecrated by Mar Julius in 1874. However, British autocephalous churches were not consolidated until bishops of the Old Catholic Church – which rejected Papal supremacy – were established in Britain with the consecration in 1908 of the Reverend Arnold Harris Mathew.
The lines of succession transmitted by Ferrette and Mathew were eventually conferred, in 1944, upon the person of the Rev. H.G. de Willmott Newman who, as Mar Georgius, continued the work of furthering the restoration of the ancient Church, and through him a number of autocephalous bodies dedicated to this end have come into being – among them The Holy Celtic Church.
The Holy Celtic Church is a Sacramental and Trinitarian Christian Church whose beliefs are enshrined in both the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed. It adheres to the Glastonbury Rite 1984, (a version of Mar Georgius’ Glastonbury Rite revised by Mar Francis), and recommends the New King James Bible for general use. The mission of the Holy Celtic Church is to assist people in the spiritual life, following the commendation of the Lord, ‘Seek first the kingdom of God’, and is therefore committed to developing the interior and spiritual life of the soul, with the principal emphasis being upon the interior work of prayer and meditation. To this end the clergy of the Church, all of whom live and work in the community without stipend, have dedicated their lives.
Based in the West Country the membership of the Holy Celtic Church, is few in number and spread throughout the region. It consists of small communities that function under the guidance of their local priests, meeting for worship, group devotions and community matters in private oratories and chapels. The current primate is Bishop Marcus, who succeeded Bishop Francis in 1991. The governance of the Church is administered by a Committee of Synod drawn from members of the Order of Dionysis and Paul, which is a religious order within the Holy Celtic Church.

This policy reflects the practice in place at Prairie View Elementary. It was created during the 2018-2019 school year.
The purpose of this policy is to establish a framework for valuing language diversity in our school that supports language learners and their families.
Belief and Value:
At Prairie View, we believe that language is essential to the success of all student learning. This includes the ability to express oneself (communicate) through speaking, reading, writing, drawing, acting, etc.
Support for Language Learners:
English is the primary language of instruction. English language learners are identified by district requirements. Our teachers work to create a caring language community to enhance the language of all students. Prairie View strives to promote language-rich classrooms for all students through guided discussions, Socratic seminar, and the use of multimedia and library resources. Our teachers are well informed of their students who have language needs and other language abilities.
Communication with Families:
School and community bilingual support by Parent Liaison
Parent-teacher conferences have interpretation
Written communication in English and Spanish or referral to Parent Liaison
Spanish is the second language taught to students through a variety of formats. Each student in K-5 attends a 35-minute Spanish class once a week. At Prairie View, 31% of our students are identified as English Language Learners whose primary language is Spanish. So our Spanish classes will be differentiated to better meet the needs of all of our students.
We have made it a priority to increase our language resources. We have built and continue to add to our school library with leveled books that support our IB planners. Our library has a variety of fiction and nonfiction books, and we are continuing to grow our collection of books in other languages. In addition, we have a variety of online databases to support student learning and research. Prairie View has purchased online programs to support students with reading. These programs have leveled books in English for use in school and at home.


This is a student opportunity to learn about the art of storytelling. A professional storyteller leads students through the process of discovering what makes a good story from beginning to end. Students learn how to tell a story as a personal experience, from a 3rd person perspective, or even from a puppet's mouth! They are coached on how to engage an audience and develop a stage presence. Both group and individual instruction is utilized to maximize the experience. This spring this workshop will be held on March 26. and the theme will be "Tall Tales" - a favorite category of stories for tellers of all ages! Be sure and catch the young tellers on Saturday of the Festival in a session all their own.
Graduate College Credit- General Info
In cooperation with Friends University, the Kansas Storytelling Festival invites teachers and librarians - or anyone wanting to earn graduate credit - to enroll in the Spring Education Workshop.

Bialik House stands at 27 Bialik Street, in Tel Aviv. It is the former home of Israel’s national poet, Haim Nachman Bialik (1873-1934), and houses a museum dedicated to the poet and his work. Bialik House was designed by Yosef Minor and built in 1924 on the arrival of Bialik in Israel. The house offers a glimpse into the aesthetics of early 20th-century Israel, and the exhibition gives visitors a comprehensive understanding of Bialik’s work, achievements, and role as a social activist.
Who Was Haim Nachman Bialik?Haim Nachman Bialik was born in Russia in 1873 and from the age of seven, he was raised by his Orthodox Jewish grandfather. When he was 15 years old Bialik moved to Lithuania to study at the Volozhin Yeshiva. He gradually drifted away from the strict life of Talmudic study and was eventually expelled. Some of his early writings reflect his disillusionment with the narrow-minded world of Yeshiva life.
He moved to Odessa at age 18, where he mingled with the elite of Jewish culture including Ahad Ha’amBialik died and joined the Hovevei Zion movement. His first poem “To the Bird” was published in 1892. Returning to his hometown he married Manya Averbuch in 1893. After moving around the county for several years, Bialik returned to Odessa in 1900 and continued his involvement in Jewish literary circles and the Zionist movement for the next two decades.
His first collection of poetry was published in Warsaw in 1901 to great critical acclaim and his poem “In the City of Slaughter” highlighting the horrors of Russian pogroms. Bialik translated several great European works into Hebrew including Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, and Don Quixote. He published poetry in Yiddish newspapers in the Russian Empire. Among his works was The Book of Legends, a compilation of folk tales and proverbs extracted from the Talmud. Bialik remained in Odessa until 1921 when he traveled to Berlin.
There he established his publishing house, Dvir, and joined other Jewish authors, and published developing modern Hebrew literature. In 1924, Bialik moved to Palestine where he reestablished his publishing house, Dvir, and devoted himself to cultural and social activities. He was already recognized as one of the greatest Hebrew literary figures, and in 1927 became head of the Hebrew Writers Union. He died in Vienna, Austria in 1934 from a heart attack following a prostate operation and is buried in Tel Aviv.
Bialik’s LegacyBialik wrote mostly in Hebrew and pioneered modern Hebrew poetry. His work gave voice to life in what would become the new Jewish homeland. He is best know for his long nationalistic poems, love poems, nature poems, and prose. Some of his children’s songs have become traditional Hebrew nursery rhymes, such as NadNed, a song about a seesaw.
Bialik wrote it to popularise modern spoken Hebrew but also to illustrate the balance between Zionism and traditional Judaism. Bialik was one of the forces influential in turning Hebrew from an ancient Biblical language to a contemporary spoken vernacular. Many places and streets in Israel are named after the national poet, and each year the city of Tel Aviv awards the Bialik Literary Prize. His works have been translated into more than 30 languages and set to music.
The Bialik House BuildingThe house was built in 1924 by the Solei Boneh construction company under the supervision of the future minister of finance, Eliezer Kaplan. The house was designed by Russian-born architect Joseph Minor (1885-1966). He was one of the architects who tried to develop a unique architectural style for Palestine, combining western building forms with traditional Middle Eastern styles that suited the climate and lifestyle.
Features of this unique style included outdoor terraces, pointed arch windows, towers, tile work, and domes. Much of the thought behind this style was to keep the house cool in the hot Middle Eastern climate. The interior of Bialik House is in the Arts and Crafts Movement style. In the first-floor reception room, are tiles produced by the Bezalel School with designs by Ze’ev Raban. The tiles feature images from Jewish history.
History of Bialik HouseAfter Bialik’s death in 1934, the house was used by the Hebrew Writers’ Association and later as a children’s library. The Bialik house Society took on the task of preserving the property for posterity. Bialik House was renovated in 1980 and lost much of its original interior. A new renovation took place in the following years, this time remaining true to the original architectural features, and restoring the property to resemble the home Bialki would have known.
The original colors were used and historic architectural features which had been covered up were revealed. The house was furnished in original historic furniture. Today the house has a blend of rooms restored to their original appearance and a permanent exhibition focused on the life and work of the poet.
On the lower level of the house is the Beit Bialik Archive, which reserves the valuable documents of Bialik’s national and cultural work. Among the documents are poems, speeches, stories, and articles. Bialik House is open to the public Monday to Thursday from 9 am to 5 pm, and Fridays and Saturdays from 10 am to 2 pm.

Fifth European Women Rectors ConferenceThe European Women Rectors Association is happy to announce the "V. European Women Rectors Conference” which will take place at Solvay Library, Brussels on 29-30 May, 2017. The special focus of the conference will be on PIVOTING ON GENDER EQUALITY THROUGH THE LENS OF LEADERSHIP: POLICIES, STRATEGIES AND ACTIONS.
The first four of the Women Academics Beyond the Glass Ceiling: Women Rectors Across Europe conferences were organized biennially by the European Women Rectors Platform and hosted by Istanbul Technical University. Since under-representation of women in senior management in HE is still among the key gender equality issues, the series of Women Rectors conferences intended to examine the experiences of women leaders and discuss the strategies to remove the horizontal and vertical dimensions of occupational segregation. The conferences further aimed at achieving these objectives through the analysis and comparison of different international practices and policies. Since 2008, European Women Rectors conferences have attracted over 200 women leaders, encouraging us to reach wider audiences by extending the experience that we have gained so far.
2017 Conference aims to promote a better understanding of gender disparity in academic leadership by discussing the policies, strategies and actions employed in different European HE institutions for empowering women academics and achieving gender equality.

Allen v. Cooper, 589 US, 140 S. Ct. 994 (2020)
Sovereign Immunity and Copyright Infringement
On 23 March 2020, the US Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Congress lacked the authority to do away with state-level sovereign immunity against a copyright infringement lawsuit. Background on the case, and implications of the ruling, follows.
● Background & Facts:
In 1996, Frederick Allen (the petitioner) was hired to document a shipwreck off the coast of North
Carolina. Allen spent 20 years taking photographs and videos of the shipwreck, Queen Anne’s Revenge,
one of Blackbeard’s pirate ships which sank in the early part of the 18th century. He registered the
copyrights in the photographs and videos with the US Copyright Office. The State of North Carolina
began using his photographs and videos online without obtaining his permission. In 2013, North Carolina
entered into a settlement with Allen. However, the parties soon found themselves embroiled in a new
dispute when North Carolina posted five of Allen’s videos online and used one of his photos in a
newsletter without his permission. He then filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against the state.
● The Decision: North Carolina moved to dismiss the suit on the grounds of sovereign immunity,
namely “the general rule that federal courts cannot hear suits brought by individuals against
non-consenting States”. Notably, North Carolina’s legal argument directly challenged an early 1990s
federal law called The Copyright Remedy Clarification Act (CRCA). The CRCA removed state-level
sovereign immunity for acts of copyright infringement. In a 9-0 decision the Supreme Court found the
CRCA unconstitutional, thereby ruling in favor of the State of North Carolina and against Mr. Allen.
● The Implications: The decision has significant implications for copyright holders. At the current time,
creators and copyright holders have few to no remedies to challenge infringement by state governments,
local governments, and government entities. In its decision, the Supreme Court noted that it is possible
Congress could pass a new version of the CRCA that could stand up to a constitutional challenge—but
it remains to be seen whether that will happen.
Georgia v. Public.Resource.Org Inc., 590 US, 140 S. Ct. 1498 (2020)
Government Edicts and Copyright Protection
On 27 April 2020, the US Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that legal annotations created by state or federal legislatures are not eligible for copyright protection. Background on the case, and implications of the ruling, follows.
● Background & Facts: The State of Georgia operates under an official code called the Official Code of
Georgia Annotated (OCGA). This code contains both the actual text of the statute as well as
annotations that help to explain the law. In some cases, the annotations add a considerable amount of
context. In producing and maintaining the OCGA, Georgia works directly with a private company called
LexisNexis. Notably, Georgia’s agreement granted LexisNexis the exclusive right to “publish, distribute,
and sell” the OCGA. The copyright infringement dispute arose when a private organization called
Public.Resource.Org (PRO) started reproducing and distributing the OCGA to the public free of charge,
both online and in print. The State sued.
● The Decision: In defending the suit and in its counterclaim for declaratory judgment, PRO relied upon
the government edicts doctrine, which rendered the official code ineligible for copyright protection. The
Court’s majority agreed. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that copyright protection cannot extend to
content prepared by a legislative body because, under the government edicts doctrine, such a body is
not an “author” of the works it creates in its official capacity—even if the content is published under
contract with a private party. Notably, the court’s decision clarified that government edicts doctrine
applies to both the text of the statute and to official annotations.
● The Implications: In taking an expansive view of the government edicts doctrine, the Supreme Court
has made it far more difficult for state and local governments to obtain and maintain intellectual property
protection for any work embodying statutory, regulatory or judicially created content. In addition, the
decision extends to private companies that enter into commercial contracts to create or reproduce
official government codes.
Dr. Seuss Enterprises v. ComicMix,
Case No. 19-55348 2019 WL 5149913 (9th Cir. Dec. 18, 2020)
The Fair Use Doctrine
In yet another appeals court ruling in a case that may be well headed to the US Supreme Court, on 18 December 2020, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit found that a so-called “mash-up” book was not covered by the fair use doctrine. Background on the case, and implications of the ruling, follows.
● Background & Facts: The book “Oh, the Places You’ll Boldly Go!” was authored by Star Trek
episode writer David Gerrold, illustrated by Ty Templeton, edited by fellow Trekkie Glenn Hauman and
published by ComicMix (collectively, “ComicMix”). The ComicMix book was inspired by the similarly
named Dr. Seuss' work “Oh, the Places You'll Go!” The ComicMix book contained many elements
readily recognizable from the Dr. Seuss original and combined them with well-known elements of the
Star Trek television series. Dr. Seuss Enterprises L.P., which holds the copyrights in and to the works
authored by the famous children’s author, filed a copyright infringement claim against Gerrold and his
● The Decision: As we reported last year, in 2019, the US district court for the Southern District of
California dismissed the copyright infringement lawsuit on the grounds that the work was clearly fair
use. Dr. Seuss Enter. v. ComicMix, LLC, 372 F. Supp. 3d 1101 (S.D. Cal. 2019). Taking an expansive
view of the fair use doctrine, the court found that the ComicMix book was sufficiently transformative.
However, on appeal, a Ninth Circuit panel reversed the decision. The panel found that the four factors
underpinning the fair use doctrine all weighed against ComicMix. The ComicMix mash-up work was
“primarily commercial,” borrowed heavily from the original, was not a parody, in that it did not critically
comment on the original, and was not otherwise transformative in that it did not alter the original with a
new expression, meaning or message. Therefore, it was infringing.
● The Implications: This case illustrates that the fair use doctrine is a fact-specific one and that
judicial opinions on fair use can be somewhat subjective, given the lower court’s and appeals court’s
divergence. However, the Ninth Circuit appears to have taken a somewhat limited view of the works”
covered by the fair use doctrine—at least in the context of so called “mash-ups.” Also notably, the Ninth
Circuit gave significantly less leeway to the defendants because it determined that their work was
fundamentally a commercial product and not a parody.
Google LLC v. Oracle America Inc.
Appeal from 886 F.3d 1179 (Fed. Cir. 2018), US Supreme Court Docket No. 18-956
Copyright Protection and Software Interface
Oral arguments were finally heard in October, 2020 after several COVID-19-related delays in this case, in which the Supreme Court’s highly anticipated decision is expected to shed light on the scope of copyright protection for a software interface. As of early 2021, we are still waiting for a decision. Background on the case, and implications of the ruling, follows.
● Background: The computer language Java was originally developed by employees of Sun
Microsystems in 1990. The company was subsequently acquired by Oracle. When Google created its
Android Operating System (Android OS), it did so using its own computer language based on Java. In
other words, Google’s Android OS software interface used material elements of the Java language.
Eventually, Oracle filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Google for the alleged unauthorized and
● The Legal Issue: The copyright dispute has been making its way through the US court system for
several years. The Supreme Court is being called on two resolve two vital questions: Does copyright
protection extend to a software interface? If not, then Oracle has no further claim. If so, then the court
must answer a second question: Does Google’s use of Oracle’s Java code to create a new language
constitute fair use under federal copyright law? It is possible that the court could issue a split
decision, finding that Oracle can own the copyright in a software interference, but that Google acted
properly under the fair use doctrine.
● Implications. The stakes in this care are enormous, both for the parties, and the tech sector as a
whole. Oracle is seeking nearly $9 billion in damages from Google. Beyond that, the verdict will have
major ramifications for companies and entrepreneurs in the tech industry. Many computer programs,
software products, and software libraries are developed using existing commercial interfaces. Thus far,
two district courts have ruled in favor of Google. However, in both cases, a federal court reversed the
initial ruling and found in favor of Oracle on appeal. A decision is expected in 2021.
Hachette Book Group v. Internet Archive
Digital Library’s Right to Publish Copyrighted Content
Case No. 1:20-cv-0-4160-JGK (S.D.N.Y. 2020)
In this case, pending in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, four major book publishers instituted a copyright infringement action against a US-based digital library. Background on the case, and implications of the ruling, follows.
● Background: The Internet Archive is a major digital library. As of early 2021, the Internet Archive
hosted 28 million books, nearly 16 million audio files, 9 million shows/movies, and hundreds of billions of
web pages. It states its mission as providing “universal access to all knowledge.” Four book
publishers—the Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, John Wiley & Sons, and Penguin Random
House— brought legal action alleging the Internet Archive is engaging in mass copyright infringement.
The complaint specifically highlights the ‘National Emergency Library’ launched by the organization in
● The Legal Issue: The question at stake before the New York federal court is whether or not the
Internet Archive is engaged in legitimate library service. The New York book publishers are aggressive in
their complaint, they contend that the Internet Archive services “grossly exceed legitimate library
services” and that the organization’s conduct constitutes “willful digital piracy on an industrial scale.” For
its part, the Internet Archive strongly denies that its digital library violates copyright law.
● The Implications: Beyond its ‘Open Library’, the Internet Archive also announced its intention to
launch a ‘National Emergency Library’ in early 2020. The National Emergency Library was promoted as
a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Notably, the Internet Archive decided to cease the operation of
the National Emergency Library in response to the copyright infringement lawsuit. The case has very
important implications for authors, publishers, digital library operators, and consumers in balancing the
need of copyright owners with the public’s access to content.

2020 Year in Review: Significant US Copyright Court Rulings
In 2020, the Supreme Court issued two copyright opinions, and several other important cases are winding their way through the courts. The high court ruled in favor of sovereign immunity for states, and that legal annotations were not protectible under the copyright law, decisions that we reported last year were highly anticipated. We will have to wait another year for the Supreme Court’s decision on the scope of copyright protection for a software interface. In a closely watched case which we also reported on last year, an appeals court found that a derivative work combining elements of Dr. Seuss’ famous children’s storybook with the Star Trek series was not covered by the fair use doctrine. Finally, a closely watched suit involving publishers’ copyright claims against a US based digital library was filed and is pending in the US district court for the Southern District of New York. A summary of these cases follows.

How to archive data from state information systems?
Office Of The Chief Archivist of Lithuania is looking for a way to gather the data of registers and state information systems to the state archives for the purposes of historical and other research, so that this information is preserved and accessible to future generations.
- Public sector bodies manage more and more historically valuable documentary information not by compiling paper or electronic documents, but by keeping this information in the form of records in information systems.
- As institutions change their business processes, some of the historically valuable documentary information is not transferred to archives for preservation, and archives do not have the means to intercept, store and disseminate information stored in this way.
- In the absence of a solution, the state archives do not preserve part of the documentary heritage – valuable data of historical significance, which affects both the state archives and the institutions protecting the data, as well as the public and potential historical and other researchers.
The solution sought should ensure:
- Export and packaging of selected records of information systems into information transfer packages, and their transfer to archives.
- Acceptance of information transfer packages, their transformation and preparation for long-term information storage.
- Formation and display of stored information to citizens, researchers, etc.
Solution evaluation criteria
- Innovativeness and relevance of the solution (40% of the total score)
- Commercial potential and competitiveness of the solution (40% of the total score)
- Competences and motivation of the authors of the solution (20% of the total score)

WHY IS IT AN INITIAL PATH?
The universal path is an initiation march of ascension, of search of conscience, of liberation towards the original source, because we go to the reunion and to the union of all the humanities, of all the beings, we put into practice the recognition and fraternity of heart at heart among all the participants, time of meeting and reconciliation between men and women, among all beings animated by the same flame.
WE PROPOSE to make a march of 5 days, creating a present and a future with the living of universal values, sharing activities that allow us to open our consciousness towards a wider dimension of ourselves, discovering and recognizing realities that are inscribed in our DNA, in our deep being. The Universal Laws will allow humanity to rediscover its unity.
The UNIVERSAL LAWS have been given since the beginning of humanity and in all religions, (example: the laws of moses, etc …), in their time they brought to men rules of life and commitment.
These laws are given to us again in this facet of time through this magnificent work, UNIVERSAL LAWS AND GREAT TRADITIONS of D. Didier, Éditions Mercia du Lac (Switzerland).
These sacred texts give a new meaning to the Universal Laws and guide us along a path of beauty, spirituality, fraternity and love.
They open the doors for us to understand the role of the human being in the universe, on the planet, in the place where we live, of our role so that we can develop and live fully … The role, the function of the human being is to raise awareness, to live in ourselves the creation, the order, the divine origin inscribed in our heart.
They are to awaken and understand the divine nature in the human and apply it. The reason of our life is to find the thread of union with the primal source that connects us from the origins to the present moment.
THE UNIVERSAL LAWS ARE 12
Consciousness and love are fuel laws that circulate in creation, in the cycle, they are forces that activate and animate life.
Faith, creation and commitment are the choice of man (masc.-fem.). To set in motion, to take action … the act of faith is an alliance with the divine.
The universality, the collective and fraternity to understand who we are, where we are going, where we come from…
Ascesis, Rectitude to enter into spiritual art, to work, to discover the reality of our being: the old that prevents us from being liberated, the ill-lived facets, the sufferings, to take away the burden.
The gift and the mansuetude the accomplished man in service for the people, wake up to help awaken others, share with others.

Childrens Book with ten dollars
– Open to the US Only –
So you want to be a sardine." Although not every reader will personally relate to the opening presumption of Chris Raschka's Arlene Sardine, all will appreciate his lively approach to the humble story of an unsung heroine. Arlene starts out as a little fish who knows exactly what color her parachute is--the slippery gray-green of a sardine. Her career takes off when she and a few of her "ten hundred thousand friends" are caught in a purse net and thrown onto the deck of a fishing boat. After taking her last gilled gasp, Arlene is sorted, salted, smoked, packed in oil, et voilà, her dream has come true!
While some adults may read this tale as either a morbid take on the traditional fish story or a thinly veiled call to vegetarianism, it is intended to be neither. Grownups occasionally need reminding that for children, the concept of death is not nearly so fraught with fear and panic and heartache as it is for adults. Arlene isn't much bothered by it either. She knows that sardines are, by definition, dead fish--she simply marks her target and shoots for it.
Raschka earned a Caldecott Honor for Yo! Yes?, and his Mysterious Thelonious garnered acclaim as the New York Times Book Review Best Illustrated Book of 1997. In Arlene Sardine, he uses exuberant pastel watercolors and bold, abstract strokes to bring the undersea world alive (and keep it kicking even after the sea life is dead). His text is typically minimal and musical: "Then she was smoked, delicately. She was delicately smoked. Delicately smoked was she." Children will enjoy this matter-of-fact yet playful telling of one tiny fish's journey to sardinehood (and in the process discover words like fjord, thronging, and hermetically), and parents may also learn a thing or two by loosening up and swimming along for the ride.
