Kathakali is one of the traditional art form held in malayalam language. Many foreigners and tourists are interested to know the details about katahakali. Kathakali songs lyrics is a combined form of two languages like Malayalam and Sanskrit. So many books are published about Kathakali history in Malayalam language. Kathakali literally meaning 'story-dance' is the dance - drama of Malabar. Kathakali is the soul and pride of Kerala.
Kathakali dance performs on the basis of any story and the performer tells story through facial expressions, gestures then the audience get a clear idea about the story. Foreigners are very passionate on Malayalam Kathakali. According to the theme, a Kathakali in Malayalam, song suggests the use of a particular Bhaava and Rasa (aesthetic delights) and the dance and mimicry are rendered most effectively in harmony with these aesthetic appeals. A landmark in the history of Kathakali literature was Unnaayi Varier's Nalacharitam written during the mid eighteenth century. The Kathakali performances had the patronage of the wealthy kings and the Namboodiris who spent their leisure time in watching and enjoying the performances.For more details:- Kathakali Pictures


How a Black Woman Rose to the Top of a Male-Dominated Industry
The highest level of career achievement that a plumber can reach is a master plumber. When Adrienne Bennett first signed up to be a plumbing apprentice, being a plumber as a black woman was practically unheard of. She experienced discrimination because of her age, race, and gender, but she never gave up on making her dreams come true.
This Black History Month, learn the incredible true story of a true plumbing pioneer that became the first black woman to pass the test to become a master plumber.
The Start of Her Journey to Master Plumber
The journey from plumber’s assistant to a master plumber was filled with obstacles for Adrienne Bennett, but she hurdled through them all. She attributes her strong work ethic to her upbringing. As one of eight siblings, she was a high achiever during Adrienne Bennett’s school years. She had high goals for the future. She was set on becoming an engineer and started a program at the local university.
When a racially charged incident sent Adrienne home in tears, she vowed never to return to college. She was approached by a recruiter seeking out minority women to sign up for a scholarship program to learn a trade. After learning how much she could be potentially making, around $50,000 a year, she signed up for the scholarship.
From Apprentice To Successful Contractor
She stuck it out through the harassment, and when she passed the master plumbers test with flying colors, she became the first black master plumber who was also a woman. Her story is a piece of black history that is not told often enough. She has a truly incredible story. After completing her training, she went on to work the highest positions that a plumber can hold in Detroit, Illinois. She worked as a project manager, plumbing inspector, journeyman plumber, code enforcement office, and master plumber for the City of Detroit.
The Final Frontier for the Plumbing Pioneer
After her successful career with the City of Detroit had reached a pinnacle. With no further higher levels of achievement to reach, the only thing left for her to do was become an independent plumbing contractor and start her own business.

YA books and cupcakes? Sounds like a perfect combination. This book is just as sweet as it sounds.
Halle Levitt lives a double life. She’s Halle, a teenage girl who just moved to a new town with her brother to live with their grandfather while their parents work on a documentary. She’s also Kels, a book blogger and the creator of One True Pastry, a blog that combines YA book covers with cupcakes. What happens when her two worlds collide when she meets her internet best friend in real life?
I thought the premise was cute, and even though I usually find characters lying to each other b=very frustrating, it sort of made sense here and I was able to forgive it.
One thing that did bother me though was the constant bashing of adults reading YA. I get what the author was trying to say, that YA is especially for teens, but as an adult who reads and writes YA, I can’t help but feel insulted.
Despite that, the book was still a delight and I give it 4 cupcake covered stars.


Complete Book of Amulets & Talismans by Migene Gonzalwz-Wippler
An amulet is any object with the general power to safeguard its owner from harm and to bring him or her happiness and good luck. A talisman is more specific and is always prepared for a specific reason. Now you can see examples of hundreds of different talismans and amulets that you can use, along with exact instructions on how to design your own, in The Complete Book of Amulets & Talismans by Migene Gonz·les-Wippler. This is easily the most thorough book on the subject published in the past fifty to 100 years. It is the only one of this depth written from a contemporary point of view, making it easy for you to understand and use. It starts with a brief overview of theories on how the magic of these devices works and then gives a historical survey of amulets, looking at the very earliest of known amulets. Here you will learn the history of the Ankh or looped cross and Hebrew Cheth, both of which are symbols of life. You'll also learn about Babylonian and Assyrian amulets as well as more than twenty-five Egyptian amulets. The book covers many Hebrew amulets as well as ones from Phoenicia, Greece, Rome, and those of the Gnostics. Then the book goes into greater detail on some of the most important or popular types of amulets. You will learn about how astrology was used in making them and how you can use astrological symbolism to design your own amulets. Also covered is the magical use of colors, numbers, and letters on amulets. Amulets are frequently taken from nature. Here you will learn how to use vegetation for amulets. For example, apple brings love, anise seed facilitates marriage, and garlic protects ships from sinking. Over sixty-five herbal amulets are described. So, too, are thirty-five gems and stones described for their magical purposes. But the type of amulet most people are most familiar with is the one that has some sort of magical design. The book covers how to make them from the traditions of Voodoo, Pennsylvania Dutch, Native Americans, Hindus, and Tibetans. You'll also learn how amulets wereóand areóused to ward off the evil eye. The book also reveals how the symbols of stars and crosses have been used in amulets. Next, the book shows you how to make and use your own talismans. You will learn about correspondences in design and how you can use astrology, numerology, geometry, tattwas, colors, divine names, Enochian, and old magical grimoires to create your own powerful magical devices. You will find numerous examples of such talismans along with information on how to charge them. Even the secrets of magic squares are revealed for your use. If you are just getting into the study of talismans and amulets, or if you have been using them but want a resource that reveals everything, this is the book you must have. It simply must be a part of your book collection. Paperback English | 304 pages | 6"x9" Photos.


"The high state of discipline, training, leadership, and armament of the German Army reduced the significance of the initial numerical inferiority of the armies of the Central Powers. Due to the comparative slowness of mobilization, poor leadership, and lower scale of armament of the Russian Armies, there was an approximate balance of forces in August 1914 which prevented one side from gaining a quick victory." ERM. "World Wars", Encyclopaedia Britannica. Vol 23, page 692.
1. Pre War Planning:
a. The Schlieffen Plan: "The basic problem which the plan had to meet was that a two front war, in which Germanym and Austria-Hungary faced Russia on the east and France on the west _ a combination whose forces wre numerically superior although separated from one another." ERM. "World Wars", Encyclopaedia Britannica. Vol 23, page 693.
b. Plan Seventeen: "The Notorious Plan 17, which the French adopted in May 1913, was fatally flawed due to a serious miscalculation of German strength and intentions." Davis. "World War 1", Strategy & Tactics. # 51, page 12.
c. The Russian Steamroller. "The French, ... urged the Russians to deliver a simultaneous attack against Germany ... an extra offensive for which they were neither ready in numbers nor organized. ... Russia, whose proverbial slowness and crude organization dictated a cautious strategy, was about to break with tradition and launch out on a gamble that only an army of high mobility and organization could have hoped to bring off. ERM. "World Wars", Encyclopaedia Britannica. Vol 23, page 696.


Walt Disney first attempted unsuccessfully to adapt Beauty and the Beast into an animated film during the 1930s and 1950s. Following the success of The Little Mermaid (1989), Walt Disney Pictures decided to adapt the fairy tale, which Richard Purdum originally conceived as a non-musical. Disney chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg eventually dismissed Purdum's idea and ordered that the film be a musical similar to The Little Mermaid instead. The film was directed by Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise, with a screenplay by Linda Woolverton story first credited to Roger Allers. Lyricist Howard Ashman and composer Alan Menken wrote the film's songs. Ashman, who additionally served as the film's executive producer, died of AIDS-related complications eight months before the film's release, and the film is thus dedicated to his memory.
Beauty and the Beast premiered as an unfinished film at the New York Film Festival on September 29, 1991, followed by its theatrical release as a completed film at the El Capitan Theatre on November 13. The film was a box office success, grossing $425 million worldwide on a $25 million budget. Beauty and the Beast won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, the first animated film to ever win that category. It also became the first animated film to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture at the 64th Academy Awards, where it won the Academy Award for Best Original Score and Best Original Song for its title song and received additional nominations for Best Original Song and Best Sound. In April 1994, Beauty and the Beast became Disney's first animated film to be adapted into a Broadway musical. The success of the film spawned two direct-to-video follow-ups: Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas (1997) and Beauty and the Beast: Belle's Magical World (1998), both of which take place in the timeline of the original. This was followed by a spin-off television series, Sing Me a Story with Belle.
An IMAX version of the film was released in 2002, and included "Human Again", a new five-minute musical sequence that was previously included in the 1994 musical. That same year, the film was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". After the success of the 3D re-release of The Lion King, the film was reissued in 3D in 2012. A live-action adaptation of the film directed by Bill Condon was released on March 17, 2017, that went on to become the 12th-highest-grossing film of all time.

Leader of #DecWritingChallenge (December 2016)
Christina Hawthorne spent much of her life searching, searching for people, places, and answers. She found them when she heeded the advice urging her to devote more to her passion for writing. She shrugged off the “old ways” that left her empty and miserable, relocated, and recognized the more she learned the more she learned how much she didn’t know. All the better for someone with a lifelong love of learning. Along the way was a book of poetry, The Renaissance Cycle, many short stories, and two novels. Also discovered was Ontyre, the otherworld location for her speculative fiction that stresses collaboration, equality, and hope. Home is two opinionated cats and glorious Montana mountains.

My mom’s friend gave me The Language of Flowers—first as a loan, then as a gift—earlier this summer, and I became so engrossed in it that one day while reading it I actually missed my subway stop.
Victoria, the protagonist, is the kind of character who often makes you want to smack your forehead to your palm, but you’ll love her anyway. A foster child who’s never stayed with anyone longer than 2 years, Victoria has a habit of isolating herself from everyone except flowers. She learns the Victorian language of flowers from one of her foster mothers, Elizabeth, and embraces the secretive language as a means of communicating her emotions—because few still understand that a yellow rose does not mean the same thing as a white rose. As she meets new people equally as attached to flowers, though, Victoria begins to learn there are inconsistencies within her beloved language.
The characters are fresh and insightful, Victoria is heartbreaking and beautiful, and the plot never quite lets you grasp its path as Victoria wavers between her habit of isolation and her desire for company and comfort. The love stories—of romance, family, and friendship—of Victoria’s life are layered as intricately as the petals of the flowers Victoria clings to. This book provides a perspective that most will not be able to relate to easily, and yet the elements of Victoria’s relationships maintain a simultaneously wonderful and haunting sense of universality and familiarity.
The use of the flower language within the book is fascinating; I find myself walking by bouquets and gardens wondering what the petals would have whispered during the Victorian era. Thankfully, there is a flower dictionary in the back of the book! I’ve always had the opposite of a green thumb, but this book makes me want to change that.


This children’s book is the second addition to the “Science for Kids” series, a family resource put out by the Institute for Creation Research. (Read about the first book in the series, Dinosaurs: God’s Mysterious Creatures, here). The ICR is a research organization dedicated to uplifting the truth and authenticity of God’s Word. As a part of this mission, they offer tons of great books, DVDs, magazines, and other materials for anyone to read and watch. I received this book in return for a review, and am delighted to share my thoughts with you.
The first thing that grabbed my attention about this book was the fantastic illustration. From front cover to the last page, each colorful depiction was an absolute delight for the eyes and the imagination. Susan Windsor’s watercolor style illustrations matched the subject matter of this book very well: her vibrant artwork helps the reader focus on the majesty and mystique of God’s grand universe. The illustrations are detailed enough to teach a lesson but whimsical enough to delight the reader’s attention.
This paperback book of 111 pages is small enough to easily slip in your child’s bookshelf or pack it along for a car ride. Although it is a soft-cover book, the pages are thick and smooth and easy to turn. It may be light in weight, but this little book is absolutely loaded with “far-out facts.”
The table of contents is lengthy, but offers tons of topics for the reader to choose from. A glossary and an index are located at the back of the book. I really like that the authors included a glossary. Since anything “space” related typically includes a lot of big, scientific words, the glossary is very helpful.
While this book series is geared toward elementary aged students, I actually felt that this specific book might be better suited toward middle school aged students, simply because the material is so scientific and conceptual. The authors do a good job of bringing the facts and concepts down to a student’s reading level, but even as an adult, there were certain paragraphs that I found myself re-reading to make sure I was understanding it.
That being said, students will definitely still enjoy the wealth of facts, illustrations, scientific terminology, and creation-based information that this book so wonderfully presents. Younger learners will find pages that present lessons they’ve likely learned before (our solar system, the planets, asteroids, etc.) and will probably learn quite a bit, too.
My favorite portions of this book came toward the end. After the planets, stars, and space-matter pages, the authors dedicated a good portion of this book to NASA, space travel, astronauts, and space missions. It was fantastic! Much of the information I already knew, but it was fun to read and easy to understand. I found myself truly in awe, not only of the accomplishments of mankind, but in the complexity, mystique, and power of God and his universe.
The very last couple of pages present the Gospel message, sharing the grace of Jesus Christ and the hope for new life that only comes from him. The ICR includes the Gospel in all of their publications, but boy, it never gets old. It was the perfect conclusion to this fascinating book.
This creation-based science book would be a great addition to the family library. Older students will enjoy exploring what it has to offer and younger children will look forward to studying the illustrations and reading through it with an adult. Parents will enjoy it, too. I highly recommend this book to any family.

In the infancy of television, one man fully understood its value as an educational tool and put it into play. Don Herbert aka “Mr. Wizard”, provided weekly science lessons in a proactive, hands-on style that made science come alive for millions of children and adults, alike. Beginning in 1951 in Chicago, “Watch Mr. Wizard” went on to become the most popular educational film of its day. Mr. Wizard made science interesting and exciting, thereby holding a young viewer spellbound (me) for the entirety of the show – and hungry for more!
In the inaugural year, Mr. Wizard produced 28 live shows, but from 1952 to 1964, he produced 39 lives shows every season, filling an entire generation’s consciousness with the wonders of science and no doubt, inspiring dozens of then-children to become grown up scientists themselves.
Mr. Herbert/Wizard was relaxed and completely natural on camera and he came by acting honestly, having acted, directed and created legit summer theatre in college, while majoring in English and General Science. He even acted with Nancy Davis (Reagan) shortly after graduation. In World War II, he flew a B-24 bomber in 54 missions over Italy, Germany and Yugoslavia. He worked in radio and began developing what would become “Watch Mr. Wizard” in 1950. He pitched it to a number of potential advertisers, all of whom passed on it! Fortunately, a group called The Cereal Institute underwrote the first year of 29 shows. In 1952, his television presence increased with a spot on the General Electric Theater every Sunday night and the main show grew in popularity. In 1954, he won the Peabody Award and produced a color version of the show for schools.
From 1955 to 1964, his show aired on NBC and then switched to the forerunner of PBS – the National Educational Television (NET).
In 1959, his first book, Mr. Wizard’s Experiments for Young Scientists, was published by Doubleday and was eventually translated to Spanish, French and Japanese. Through the 1960s, he continued to produce science shows and was featured on virtually every late-night talk show of the day, including the Tonight Show, Today, Mike Douglas and Merv Griffin. It was the first time a science teacher had so captured the imagination of mainstream America.
Mr. Wizard worked tirelessly throughout his life, producing countless classroom science series, a complete color series of “Watch Mr. Wizard” in Canada, produced a series called Experiments for NET, had a second book published, Mr. Wizard’s 400 Experiments in Science and in 1980, wrote a second book Mr. Wizard’s Supermarket Science, published by Random House and presented with an award from the National Science Teachers Association as the Outstanding Science Book for Children. This book showed the reader how to create fascinating, simple experiments using household/grocery store ingredients, explaining the science behind them.
Since Mr. Wizard originally aired, there have been other notable televisions science teachers such as Bill Nye, the Science Guy, Carl Sagan, right up to Neal deGrasse Tyson of the present day, but Mr. Wizard still reigns supreme as the pioneer of T.V. science teaching. DVDs of his shows are available from the website http://www.mrwizardstudios.com/ and they can continue to spellbind young viewers for decades. Do your children a favor and check them out – and if you are old enough, breathe in some nostalgia as you watch with them! MjL

Welcome To The Harem
Each To Each by MeridyM
Summary: At the end of the world, there's no time for love. It's whoever you want it to be.
EACH TO EACH
Category: A very short story. Romance, a little angst.
Summary: At the end of the world, there's no time for love.
A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch
And blue spurt of a lighted match,
And a voice less loud, through its joys and fears,
Than the two hearts beating each to each!
-- from"Meeting at Night," Robert Browning
The dogs were barking and wouldn't stop. They never did that.
She'd been staying at the cabin long enough now to know the routines, the
night sounds, what felt normal, what didn't. Her nearest neighbors drove in
and out twice a day, up the road, past her cottage and into the pines. The
mail truck bounced up the rutted lane once a week, and there was the
occasional delivery, but no one else came up this track from the sea. She
never heard the dogs unless. . .
They were still barking, harsh, insistent.
She felt the sudden sweat in the middle of her back and pressed a fist to
her mouth. It's all right. It's nothing. It's just animals in the woods.
Raccoons. The little bastards were always getting into things.
God, she was so tired of being afraid of every sound, suspicious of
everyone. But it had kept her alive so far. It had kept them all alive.
It had kept them all alone.
She threw off the comforter and went to the window, hugging her arms close
to her body against the chill of the summer night. There was no light, no
motion, no sound outside.
She was already turning when the hand covered her mouth, smothering the
scream before it could leave her throat.
The man pulled her tight to his body. "Not a word," he whispered into her
hair, and she felt her legs go out from under her.
His rough fingers slid slowly from her lips. "But how--" she murmured, and
he turned her around in his arms and kissed her, erasing any worries about
how he got there, who might know, why he'd come, replacing it all with his
scent, his hard muscles, the taut smoothness of his skin, the scrape of
day-old beard against her cheek. Lost in him, she barely felt him
undressing her, was almost shocked at his hands on her bare breasts, his
fingers sliding her panties from her hips.
She let him lead her over to the bed and slid under the comforter he lifted
for her, grateful for the warmth.
"I want to look at you," he said, his voice rich with amusement, "but I don'
t want to make love to an ice-woman, either." She smiled, watching through
her lashes as he stripped off his clothes and dropped them to the old oak
He found the matches and the stub of candle on her nightstand. He lit the
candle and slid into the bed next to her, pulled her close to his naked
"How long?" she whispered into his neck.
He was still for a moment, rubbing her back slowly, up and down. "Till
dawn, maybe a little sooner."
The tears stung her eyes, and she reached for his face, exploring it with
her fingers as if she could read him like Braille. They'd have a little
time to talk, to remember what it was like to be together.
There was usually just enough time to remember what they'd lost.
The worries faded again as he brought his mouth down on hers.
The dogs had gone quiet again, and the world was still except for the waves
lapping the shore, the soft kisses, the two heartbeats together, and the
slide of hands over skin gone too long untouched.

Each year PACA Elementary students look forward to our Annual Elementary Reading Contest! The theme for this year’s Reading Contest is “Wild About Books”.
We will be kicking off our Reading Contest on Friday, September 29. Students will participate in activities, art projects, music, games, and stories about space. It will be a wonderful time of learning and fun for Elementary students.
Additionally, there will be a special themed lunch served in the cafeteria before dismissing for the half day at 12:30 pm. Parents can come and participate with their children.
During the Reading Contest, we are asking students to read every day to establish the habit of reading for pleasure and to strengthen their reading skills.
The reading time expectation is:
15 minutes - Kindergarten (may be read to) and 1st grade
20 minutes - 2nd and 3rd grade
25 minutes - 4th and 5th grade
Your child may read in English and/or Portuguese. Reading homework or book reports can be counted toward the time expectation. Students need to read 5 days in a week (which allows two “free” days a week if needed).
There will be additional activities and special events that will take place throughout the month of October. Please see the Reading Contest Calendar for more information.
We hope that this is the beginning of a lifelong love of reading for your child, and your child is excited to go "Wild About Books."
If you have any questions about the Reading Contest, please contact me email@example.com
P.S. We ask for parent participation by taking photos of your children reading at home and post them using the following social media tags: @pacaschool #pacareadingcontest #wildaboutbooks


Unterredung Josephs II. mit Papst Pius VI. in Wien am 24. März 1782 (Rom, Bibliotheca Hertziana, Kunstbesitz, Inv. Nr. D60033)
How can the history of the complex church-state relations in 19th and 20th century East-Central Europe be grasped, taking into account continuities and discontinuities spanning changes of regimes? Does such a research which examines the conflicts between church and state and the various processes involved in attempts to address these conflicts provide insights which have a wider significance beyond the history of the Church?
In order to answer these questions, the hypothesis which constitutes the point of departure for SOVEREIGNTY, is that behind the ecclesiastical policy of every modern political system lay the need to ensure the sovereignty of the state. As the preeminent attribute of modern statehood, sovereignty, after all, was essential to all of the successive political systems. Regardless of their ideological orientations, each of these systems had to consider how the local organization of the transnational Catholic Church could be accommodated within the frames of the modern state.
Thus, the project proposes an approach to the study of the history of secularism from the perspective of the claims of the modern state. That is, it investigates the question of how the historical prerogatives and transnational jurisdiction of the Catholic Church challenged the modern state’s claim to sovereignty.
In order to address the essential question concerning the interrelationships among the (religious) policies adopted by the modern state to ensure its sovereignty and the processes of secularism and nation building, the project is structured along four work packages.
1. Cultural history of the oath of loyalty
Oath of the Episcopate in Poland Sept 1925 (National Digital Archives NAC)
The project intends to offer a comprehensive and contextual interpretation of oaths of loyalty to further an understanding of the functions of these oaths and the motivations of the middle-level historical agents involved in the context of Josephinism, nation building, and communism and the transformations of the oaths in the context of the changing relationship between the nation state and transnational loyalties.
2. Church–state relations
Archbishop József Grősz of Kalocsa signs the oath of allegiance to the Hungarian People’s Republic and its Constitution. 24 April 1959. (Kalocsai Főegyházmegyei Levéltár)
It will identify patterns of continuity and discontinuity among the church policies of different regimes. In accordance with the critical assessment of the secularisation thesis, it will identify individual models of secularism in the region and moments of “resacralisation” (i.e. the “return of religion” to public life). Thus, the project will provide valid outcomes to enrich our understanding of the evolution of the present typologies of church-state relations in Europe. Furthermore, SOVEREIGNTY also aims to overturn approaches to the study of relations between the Holy See and Central Eastern Europe that focus almost exclusively on the bilateral relations between the states and the Vatican. Instead, the project proposes to focus on internal church-state relations, and it argues that these kinds of relations, viewed over time, can provide an entirely new angle on the relations between the Holy See and the Central Eastern European region. Given the manner in which the oath of loyalty to the state survived over time as a practice (despite changes to the actual texts of the oaths), this practice offers a revealing perspective from which to examine how the individual political systems related to the Church and the extent to which they sought to use the Church hierarchy as a possible means of legitimizing their claim to power. The relation of the (lower and upper) clergy to the oaths also offers insights into the transformation of local Church elite’s understanding of its own role and the mental frameworks that determined the relationship between secular power and the Church spanning changes of regimes.
3. Catholicism and Nation(alism)
Procession of the Holy Right, Budapest 1934 (Fortepan/Friss Ildikó)
The project examines the complex relationship between national and Catholic identities (a relationship that shifted over time) from the perspective of changes to the oaths of loyalty to the state (both as text and as practice). By offering a synchronic and diachronic examination of the attitudes (essentially, their preferences with regards to their own loyalties) of the middle-level historical agents who were obliged to take the oaths towards the various forms of oath, the project will capture the common and distinctive features of the role of Catholicism in nation building and, in connection with this, the shifting functions of the Catholic hierarchy among the peoples of the Habsburg Monarchy. It also sheds new light on the Holy See’s attitude towards nationalism and “national Catholicisms” from the perspective of the evolution of the local relationship between nation and Catholicism.
4. Modern state sovereignty
Austria-Hungary 1914 (Encyclopædia Britannica)
The project uses the oath of loyalty to the state as an analytical tool to examine, from a new approach, the connections between the process of secularization and nation building and the steps taken to enforce the modern state’s claim to sovereignty. It argues that state religious policy which touched the transnational Catholic Church—whether a policy of secularization or re-sacralization—can also be understood as an instrument with which the modern state sought to secure its sovereignty, regardless of political system or regime. This explains why the states of the region ultimately combined the secularization model of the French Revolution and the patterns of Josephine church policy in their religious policy. Finally, an analysis of the history of the oath of loyalty to the state shows that unilateral state measures to ensure sovereignty in Central Eastern Europe were temporarily effective at most, and long-term solutions were always reached through compromises with the transnational partner.

John Corigliano is one of the finest and most widely recognized American composers. He has received virtually all of the most important prizes-several Grammy Awards, a Pulitzer Prize for his Second Symphony, a Grawemeyer Award for his Symphony no. 1, and even an Academy Award for his score to Francois Giraud’s 1997 film The Red Violin-as well as honorary doctorates, awards, fetes, lauds, and accolades too numerous to list. His work has been performed by some of the most visible orchestras, soloists, and chamber musicians in the world and recorded on the Sony, RCA, BMG, Telarc, Erato, Ondine, New World, and CRI labels.
Possessed of a gift for gorgeous melody crossed with the rigor and formalist logic of the serialists, Corigliano will be remembered as one of the great mavericks of his generation, the artist who took generic, traditional notions like “symphony” or “concerto” and within them found a language all his own, an amalgam of his American forebears crossed with the exploratory spirit of the post-war European avant garde.
“You must understand the importance of the past, but if you don’t realize the importance of the present and the future, you don’t nourish that—and our art form does not—then it’s like a tree that grows no new shoots. Without new shoots the tree dies.”
To date, Corigliano has written 3 symphonies. His 1991 Symphony no. 1, commissioned by Meet the Composer for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra when he was composer-in-residence, stands as an angry, dizzy wolf-cry in response to the AIDS crisis, described by one critic as a work “of staggering emotional impact and musical grandeur.” Premiered by the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 2000, his Second Symphony-a rethinking and expansion of his 40-minute 1995 String Quartet-earned him the 2001 Pulitzer Prize. His third symphony, the over-the-top, potent, and slightly mad Circus Maximus, written for the University of Texas at Austin Wind Ensemble, had its New York premiere in 2005 at Carnegie Hall.
Corigliano’s 1991 opera The Ghosts of Versailles-a twist on the story of the French Revolution through the eyes of Beaumarchais, author of the famed Figaro trilogy-was the Metropolitan Opera’s first commission in three decades, and was a wild success with critics and audiences (both its original run and the 1994 revival had completely sold out runs).
Other important large-scale works include his evening-length A Dylan Thomas Trilogy, a concatenation and revision of 3 of his earlier settings of this poet scored for soprano, tenor, baritone, chorus, and orchestra; Phantasmagoria, a suite of themes from The Ghosts of Versailles; and Mr. Tambourine Man, a setting of texts by 1960s folk-pop icon Bob Dylan, which began life as a song cycle for piano and soprano but now also exists in a fully orchestrated version.
Corigliano holds the position of Distinguished Professor of Music at Lehman College, City University of New York, and serves on the faculty at the Juilliard School of Music. In 1991, he was elected to the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, and in 1992, Musical America named him Composer of the Year, their first ever. He has received grants from Meet the Composer, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Guggenheim Foundation.

Information about an event at the 2018 Tainan English Reading Festival, held by the Office of English as the Second Official Language of Tainan City Government (OEASOL), has gone viral among parents’ Line groups before the official opening on July 1st. OEASOL announced that more than 3000 people have registered to participate in Peppa Pig’s Story Time, prompting them to reveal the activities ahead of schedule.
OEASOL stated that they have received numerous calls inquiring about the main guests of this year’s English Reading Festival -- children’s rock star Peppa Pig and popular YouTubers Ray and Crown Du. A massive amount of online registration crushed the system, which supposedly was not accessible to the public and hence confused staff in OEASOL: how did citizens do it? They would later realize that it was all due to the power of Google and Line: it took just a few keywords for the excited parents to find the BeClass website and a simple step of copy-and-paste in chat rooms to spread the information to hundreds of other people who are equally interested. The overwhelming responses delighted OEASOL, who thus announced more details about the festival that would originally be released on June 28th.
The 2018 Tainan English Reading Festival is funded by local business Flomo Education Foundation and operated by Caves Books and OEASOL. Starting from Peppa Pig’s Story House in July, there will be 40 English story-telling events featuring professional lecturers and 8 English-speaking forums for parents and children that are hosted by experts in English education for youths. All of these activities are followed by a lucky draw. OEASOL did not leave young adults’ favourite out: Ray Du will also be giving two special lectures on the topic of English for the new generation, the first one scheduled on July 28th.
In order to make English learning more interesting and attractive, OEASOL also included plays in the English Reading Festival, inviting the American theater company ArtSpot to perform CLEOPATRA, The Adventure of a Princess on stage in English. The admission will be free; all citizens are welcome to enjoy an experience of professional English education theater that combines musical theatre, physical comedy, and meaningful stories.
In addition to the planned activities, Caves Books prepared a variety of useful English-learning resources that will soon be uploaded on the official website of the English Reading Festival, which include the Oxford Bookworms classics, Oxford Owl ebooks, Tina & Friends audio books, and more. Tina Chen, the marketing manager of Caves Books, said that Caves Books has tried its best to provide all the English-learning materials that they have collected for the past 60 years. “It’s like a grand giveaway!” Chen added.
OEASOL will also be distributing more than 70,000 reading passports with instructions on how to utilize the aforementioned resources among elementary school students for free. Furthermore, the 2018 Tainan English Reading Festival will be holding its first-ever English reading reports competition; OEASOL encourages all citizens to submit a reading report of an English book in either Chinese or English and answer a few questions online to enter a lottery draw of prizes that include iPad, luggage cases, mini cameras, and English picture books collections. Read to get the gifts! The more you read, the bigger the chance you will earn the prizes.
The registration for Peppa Pig’s Story Time and Celebrity Lectures on English Learning is now open. Please refer to the following addresses for more information:
Peppa Pig’s Story Time (July) - https://goo.gl/Nr3c2A
Peppa Pig’s Story Time (August) - https://goo.gl/XB7hmW
Celebrity Lectures on English Learning - https://goo.gl/dfrqxa
The official website for 2018 Tainan English Reading Festival will open on July 1st. All citizens are welcome to use the abundant resources for English learning online.

Welcome Home, Cincinnati Vets

On Friday at noon, the powerful young voices of the Street Poets wafted over the expansive lawn in front of St. Roberts Hall on the Loyola Marymount campus in a Poetry Slam, one of the dozens of events in the 21-day Bellarmine 2013 Restoring Justice Forum.
While the Street Poets riffed on incarceration, redemption and forgiveness, representatives from several restorative justice agencies and organizations invited students to get involved in various campaigns and causes.
The soulfulness of the Street Poets was a reminder of how important Art is to the Restorative Justice Movement.
Sandwiched between the Restorative Justice poster, a recreation of the 1977 art print by famed artist John August Swanson, “Man Who Goes To Jail,” and a quiet trip to the permanent LMU Interfaith Peace (and sculpture) Garden, there is plenty of art to be explored on campus.
Closing on November 15, Prison Nation: Posters on the Prison Industrial Complex features 75 riveting posters on the Prison Industrial Complex from the archives of the Center for the Study of Political Graphics. Collected over 40 years from artists, activists and organizations around the country and the world, Prison Nation gives a voice to protests against such issues as race, class and gender criminalization. capital punishment and juvenile justice. The exhibition is on display in the sunny Thomas P. Kelly, Jr. Student Art Gallery just inside the Loyola Blvd. entrance to the campus.
While Prison Nation displays the complexities of the issue, Prison Art and Experience, curated by Franky Carrillo, Jr., on exhibit through December 3rd in the William H. Hannon Library, is very personal, chronicling the journey of young Franky Carrillo, Junior’s wrongful conviction as a teenager, his 20 years behind bars and his life on the outside, post exoneration.
Letters to and from the inside, his prison blues and wristband ID, court documents, beautiful art work drawn on scrap paper and even the pencil nub he used to create, provide an intimate portrait of Franky’s life behind bars in the six California state prisons that held him for 20 years.
As a living example of restorative justice, following his exoneration, Franky Carrillo, Jr. became a full time student at LMU and a vocal advocate for prison reform.
Finally, Voices of Incarceration, running from January 25 to March 16, in the Laband Art Gallery, will embody a buffet of art work by professional artists outside the walls and prisoner-artists on the inside, as they challenge the injustice of the Prison Industrial Complex and provide evidence of the restorative value of art.
