At Court Lane we love to read and work hard to ensure we have a plentiful and wide range of books for children to borrow from the school library. Due to the school closures over the last year, unfortunately some of the books that have been borrowed have not found their way back to school. As a result, there are around 1200 library books which were issued between March 2020 and the end of January 2021 still unaccounted for. This is in addition to overdue books from before this time.
To increase our book stocks and choice for the children we are launching a school library book amnesty. We kindly ask that you take a moment to have a look in your homes to see if you can find any of our books; they might be lurking under the bed, behind the sofa, in a safe place etc. We will not be counting how many you return, we will just be happy to have them all back! If your child has a sibling who left Court Lane last year, please also check if they have any school books, as many children left without the opportunity to return them.
Our library books will be obvious as they should have a plastic cover, a sticker on the spine, a stamp and a barcode inside. If you would like to know specifically which books have been issued to your child/children, please email email@example.com.
Also, If you have any junior aged children’s books in good condition which your family no longer require, we’d be delighted to offer them a new home.
Please return your books with your child to the class teacher who will ensure they are returned to the library.


Millie and Wren are pining for winter snow. Other parts of Canada seems to be getting heaps of fresh snow, but here on the west coast spring has sprung in torrents of rain!
It makes these two want to go outside and play in the snow that was here in January! Alas what can they do? Millie asks for another book and Wren is happy to oblige, since her nature is so charitable and nurturing.
Wren is the older of the two, and a bit more responsible and sensible. She loves her younger sister and enjoys reading to her immensely, but cannot wait for spring to emerge so she can go outside and chase butterflies! She is a bit quieter and a bit more solitary, and enjoys reading by herself when she can.
Millie is the younger of the two, a little bit used to getting her own way, however she loves being around her older sister Wren, even if she is a bit pushy. Its because she adores Wren, and wants her to play and read books to her all the time! She is very lively, and very fun, and likes adventure!
Both these lovely girls come to you wearing a three piece coordinating matching outfit of dress, pinafore and bloomers, as well as their winter woolies: shawl and boots.
Thanks for viewing!

Game of Thrones Season 6 is here and it’s shaping up to be a pretty big deal.
But how much do you actually care about the new series, anyway?
The show has been hailed as one of the most influential and well-made series of all time, and the new season will be followed by a sequel that will be the culmination of a huge arc that we’ll only know about if and when HBO airs it.
So, which is it?
There are a couple of ways to approach the question, but let’s take a look at how we feel about the show and its return to HBO as a whole.
Game of Throne is about the past, so the present, and what’s going on now.
Game Of Thrones Season 7: “The Winds of Winter” Game of the Thrones season 7 finale takes place at the end of the series, and it features the return of Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen as well as the arrival of Cersei Lannister.
Jon Snow is a young knight who was born and raised in the North, a place that still holds the memories of the Seven Kingdoms.
The Wall is the most famous structure in Westeros, which sits between Winterfell and King’s Landing.
The Lannisters and the Boltons are the most powerful in the Seven, which means that if the North doesn’t want the Targaryens to return, they will have to put up with the Bolton rule.
The Boltons were once the most feared of the three Houses, but they were defeated by Daeneryn Targaryans, and their rule was short-lived.
The current situation has the Boltans and Lannisters fighting for supremacy in the Iron Throne, and in this moment, Jon Snow has to make his move against Cersei, the Queen of Thorns, who is the heir to the Iron throne.
Cersei is the last Targaryan in Westerys, the daughter of a former king who ruled during the Seven Years War.
Her father was murdered by the Lannisters, who have ruled Westeros since the War of the Five Kings.
Daeneries is a former beauty queen and the daughter-in-law of Prince Rhaegar Targaryac.
She was a good friend of Cerys Targys and is considered the mother of the Bolttons.
Jon is the younger brother of the Stark, and was born to his mother and her husband and raised as a child in the Stark household.
The Targaryas are a powerful, wealthy family that have ruled the North since Aegon the Conqueror.
Jon’s father was a Lannister, and his mother a Targaryene.
Jon and his brother are best friends and are close enough to Cersei to have a familial bond, which allows them to work together to fight for power.
In terms of the show, we can say that the new characters will likely be the closest thing the audience will get to a “real” Jon Snow in the series.
The new series will have a darker tone, but that doesn’t mean that we won’t see glimpses of his darker side.
Daemon Blackfyre is a powerful dragon that once served as the Hand of the King, but he’s also a bastard who escaped the Targaries custody.
He’s still a fearsome warrior and wields great magical power, but his father was killed and his sister was sent to King’s Bay to serve the Targeryans.
Daeron Greyjoy is a man of few words and often takes a nasty approach to life, but with his newfound power, he’s become a powerful man.
He was once a child who lived a life of ease with the Lannister’s, but then he escaped and set off on his own path.
Daenarys is a wildling princess, and is the daughter and heir of the recently slain King Jon Snow.
Her family is known as the Night’s Watch, and she is the youngest daughter of the current King in the land.
Daario Naharis is a warrior and a former prisoner of war.
He is the son of the Night King, who was killed in the war between the Night and the Light.
Daera lives with her mother in the Vale of Arryn, and has no interest in marriage.
Daena is a child of the Stormlands who is a friend of Arya Stark and the Warden of the West.
Daenys is the niece of Dany, and lives with a Targeryan named Maester Luwin.
Dany’s mother was a Targarian, but her sister, Daeneris, was a wild child, and so the siblings lived apart for decades.
Daarion Greyjoy was once an honorable knight and one of King Joffrey’s closest friends.
He grew up with a strong relationship with Daenerix Targary, the queen’s half-sister.
Daeni is a beautiful young woman with a deep, loving heart.
Her husband was slain by the Boltals, and her sister is also a Targ

In anticipation of my cousin’s transition to secondary school next year, I sat and asked her that typical question, dreaded at any age, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ Instead of the usual reply, I was shocked to hear she’d convinced herself that she can’t have children when she grows up because she wants to work in an ‘intellectual’ and ‘sophisticated’ job as women are restricted to motherhood OR business, with no compromise. Expressing this view at just 10 years old, without having experienced sexism in the workplace, been catcalled on the street, or been told to ‘smile’ by a passing male stranger, really emphasises just how ever-present gender-based inequality is.
However, as we are becoming more and more impatient for change, we are lucky that our society is filled with narratives - of fiction, memoir, theory and criticism - all revolving around strong female protagonists, which are empowering women of all ages across the globe. In light of this, here is my top ten list of books featuring some pretty great gals.
One Day - David Nicholls
‘I suppose the important thing is to make some sort of difference,’ she said. ‘You know, actually change something.’ - Emma Morely
Emma very recently became one of my very favourite characters. Why? Emma is a true to life heroine; her narrative is charted by the familiar ups and downs of working life, financial issues, dreams that feel unreachable, and the turmoil of relationships. Nicholls creates a female character who is not overly glamorous or unrelatable, but a kind, thoughtful, clever woman who does in fact make ‘some sort of difference’. Common to a lot of the women on this list, Emma achieves fantastic things as a teacher and writer on her own. Her journey is reflective of a woman confident in her own abilities who however, has to battle hard against the challenges that life throws. It makes the heartbreaking end to her story all the more painful.
Small Great Things - Jodi Picoult
Cleverly written from multiple points of view, Picoult showcases two incredibly strong fighting females in Small Great Things. This novel beautifully portrays the tackling of racism by two women, African-American labour and delivery nurse Ruth Jefferson and a white public defender Kennedy McQuarrie, after a white baby dies in Ruth’s care. A lawsuit against the baby’s father, a white supremacist, who sees himself as superior, leads to the women confronting the realities of racial inequality and the stark difference between their two experiences of life. Through Kennedy and Ruth’s separate narration we realise that we are not perhaps all as racially or socially aware as we might think. Picoult shows that although society has come a long way, it is still far from equal, there is still a huge amount to learn and a huge amount to listen to.
Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
It’s undeniable that Jane Austen brought to life several inspiring female characters, but Elizabeth Bennet of Pride and Prejudice is of the utmost importance and is perhaps the epitome of female empowerment throughout Austen’s writing. Stubborn and outspoken, Elizabeth refuses to give into her role as a woman expected to marry for status and money, not for love. Opinionated and bold, she completely defies the expectations of women in the early 1800’s. Fighting the patriarchy since day one... well, the 19th Century!
I Heart New York - Lindsey Kelk
Angela Clark, another of my favourite fictional characters, is a bit of a muddle, completely brought to life by Kelk’s witty and true to life humour. After finding her boyfriend cheating, Angela flees England hopping on a plane to NYC. She manages to find both friends and a job over in New York, and before she knows it, is dating two guys. But what is important is Angela’s inspirational strength and, albeit shaky, confidence to move from everything she knows - her home country, family and friends - and is able to start a new life, with new friends and achieve her dream job. She’s the epitome of the saying ‘grab life with both hands and do it’.
Matilda - Roald Dahl
Despite being written for children, this will forever be a favourite book of mine. The eponymous heroine of the novel, Matilda, is a self-taught feminist without even realising, and was the first female character to show me that reading is cool. She overcomes her enemies and obstacles by reading books and delivers karma to those who deserve it in hilariously clever ways.
To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
Told predominantly from the point of view of Scout Finch, an intelligent and unconventional girl, this coming-of-age story is based around hypocrisy and prejudice. She challenges gender norms through her ‘tomboy’ behaviour and appearance, wearing overalls, climbing trees, and fighting boys. To Kill a Mockingbird follows Scout’s growing awareness of society: hers is still a story of hope, however. She battles with the social and racial injustices of the world around but isn’t broken by it. Her outlook on life grows into an understanding of the need for empathy and kindness.
Bossypants - Tina Fey
Another non-fiction text is the memoir Bossypants, autobiography of Tina Fey. Actress, writer and comedian Fey shares her journey to her current success, from amateur improv to Saturday Night Live and her show 30 Rock. Fey is both funny and poignant throughout, with her writing guaranteed to brighten your day and remind you that with resilience and determination, the only way is up.
Harry Potter series - J.K. Rowling
No list of literary heroines would be complete without Hermione Granger, one of the most intelligent, compassionate and determined characters of Young Adult fiction. But Hermione is not the only strong female in Rowling’s writing. You can’t deny the likes of Luna Lovegood, Lily Potter, Ginny and Molly Weasley or Minerva McGonagall a mention. Students, teachers, mothers and friends alike, Rowling portrays multiple female characters with impeccable intelligence, loyalty and fearlessness, who, despite not being protagonists or villains, are pivotal to the novel and to Voldemort’s defeat. Let’s be honest, without Hermione, Harry would’ve died in book one. Female characters carry Harry through his journey of the Potter series - behind every strong man is a whole girl gang of strong women.

Intro and motivations
Scala is a static-typed language, and Slack Morphism provides methods and models definitions for most of the methods and structures of Slack Web/Events API. There is a well-typed DSL to build your messages and views with Slack blocks safely as well.
Easy to use
While Slack Morphism uses some of FP paradigms and avoids imperative style and mutable states internally, its API doesn’t expose to you anything that might make you learn additional advanced frameworks (like ZIO, cats-effects, and others). It provides you with a simple API mostly based on Scala Future, Option, Either, etc.
Slack Morphism core library intentionally avoid dependencies to any additional Web-frameworks, so you free to use any framework you’re familiar with. Slack Morphism doesn’t have any dependencies to any particular HTTP client library either and uses sttp library to give you choice of options.
However, it would be an incomplete solution to provide you only core components, and for a quick start, there is a full-featured giter8 template and example of a Slack Bot built with Slack Morphism and Akka Http.
Non-blocking and Reactive
All of the Slack Morphism API methods available in a non-blocking manner, and some of them (e.g. returning Slack channel history) also have support for a reactive Publisher, if you’re familiar with Reactive Streams (and using related frameworks).
Add the following to your
libraryDependencies += "org.latestbit" %% "slack-morphism-client" % "1.0.0"
or if you’d like to full-featured and ready to use Slack bot, which uses Akka Http, use this:
sbt new abdolence/slack-morphism-akka-http.g8
Read more about this template here.
Slack Morphism doesn’t provide:

The Quran sometimes called the Holy Quran or the Noble Quran is the divine scripture or sacred text of the religion of Islam. Muslims believe that the Quran is the literal word of God. It was revealed to God’s final messenger Muhammad (S.A.W), to bring humankind out of the darkness of polytheism and ignorance and into the light of Islam. The Quran abrogates all scriptures before it, and confirms the books that were sent before it, including the Jewish Torah and the Gospels of Jesus. It became the book of guidance for all humankind. It contains signs of God’s greatness, miracles, parables, and lessons. The Quran explains the names and attributes of God and His creation and thus it calls all humankind to believe in God, His angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and in in fate or the divine decree. This was stated in various parts of the Quran.
(Quran 5:48) “And we have sent down to you (O Muhammad) the Book (this Quran) in truth, confirming the Scripture that came before it and trustworthy in highness and a witness over it (old Scriptures).”
(Quran 16:89) “And we have sent down to you the Book (the Quran) as an exposition of everything, guidance, a mercy, and glad tidings for those who have submitted themselves.”
“The Messenger (Muhammad) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in God, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. (They say) ‘We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers’ and they say, ‘We hear, and we obey. (We seek) Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to ou is the return (of all)’”. (Quran 2:285)
The Quran is the greatest of all scriptures and through it Allah speaks to humankind. He shows us His mercy, His love, His justice, and His wisdom. It serves as a guide, and a comfort to the heart. However, how can we be sure that the Quran we hold in our hands today is authentic? Muslims have no doubt that the Quran is exactly the same today as it was more than 1400 years ago when it was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad. However, the authenticity of the Quran is established in several ways. The most important way we can be sure that the Quran is authentic is the fact that when God revealed the Quran, He promised to preserve it. Stated in (Quran 15:9):
“It is We Who have sent down the remembrance (i.e. the Quran) and surely, We will guard it from corruption.”
During the time of Prophet Muhammad (may God praise him), the Arabs, although predominantly illiterate, were masters of the spoken word. Their poetry and prose were considered outstanding, and a model of literary excellence. When Prophet Muhammad recited the Quran (the words of God) the Arabs were moved tremendously by its sublime tone, eloquence, and extraordinary beauty. The Quran served as Prophet Muhammad’s miracle from God.
Moreover, the people around Prophet Muhammad, who memorized its words as they were revealed, and paid careful attention to each word, also preserved the Quran. Until today there are people who memorize the Quran with direct chains of memorization that span back to the Prophet (S.A.W) himself. Besides this record of memorization there is the written record as well, whereby trustworthy scribes wrote down the revelation. They wrote on flat stones, bark, bones, and even animal skins. Prophet Muhammad himself supervised the memorization and writing of the Quran.
The preservation of Quran was also a major priority for the four men destined to follow Muhammad as leaders of the Muslim nation. This was done through their extraordinary efforts and by virtue of Allah’s permission, the Quran became written in book form. From generations, one after the other, which went to great lengths to preserve the word of the Quran exactly as it was revealed. This process is called Tawatur in Arabic; it means the transfer from one generation to the next achieves historical continuity and perpetuation. This implied its authenticity since so many people in each generation conveyed it and as such, there can be no doubt about its authenticity. On the other hand, the Quran was not transmitted by a handful of people in one generation to a few persons in the next but it was passed by each entire generation to the next generation.
Another reason for believing its authenticity of the Quran’s is one of the most remarkable qualities, which is the complete consistency between the Quran and many of the discoveries of modern science. The Quran even pre-empts facts only discovered in the last 50 years or less. Another, remarkable future of the words of the Quran have remained unchanged. Over the centuries Muslims and non-Muslims alike have examined copies of Quran more than 1000 years old and found that they are all identical, apart from the introduction of vowel marks in the 7th century CE. These marks were introduced to further guard the authenticity of Quran by demanding strict adherence to pronunciation rules.
The preservation of Quran is a tale of wonder and amazement. It is a testament of God’s love for humankind, a book of guidance and a source of comfort. Muslims around the globe bear witness that it is the divinely revealed words of God. Words from the Most Merciful to His slaves, from the moment it was revealed to Prophet Muhammad it has been protected and preserved by God from the corruption of mankind.

Why you should read The Art of the Start
This is not a manual, but rather a collection of mostly useful tips for people who wish to start businesses, or even, as author Guy Kawasaki claims, other sorts of projects, including nonprofit organizations. Kawasaki may over-use business-babble such as “bootstrapping” or “rainmaking” (in fact, he recommends coming up with a brand name that can enter the language as a verb, such as Google or Xerox) – but his style is good-natured and humorous. The chapters are divided accessibly with subheads, charts, bullet points, “minichapters,” answers to “Frequently Avoided Questions” and reading lists, making it easy to find important points. Many of Kawasaki’s “exercises” are tongue-in-cheek, like, “Go to eBay and search for used Aeron chairs.” He got his start working at Apple Computer, marketing early MacIntoshes, and he now runs a venture capital firm, Garage Technology Ventures. He refers to both frequently, and most of the book’s examples come from these venues, not from inside knowledge of others start-ups, even though the author has been involved in several. This isn’t the only book you’ll need to read when you decide to start a business, but getAbstract.com finds that its iconoclastic pointers are useful and fun, and its sections on pitching, recruiting and branding, in particular, apply to businesses of any size.
About the Author
Guy Kawasaki got his start in marketing at Apple Computer and went on to found several high tech businesses. He currently runs the venture capital firm Garage Technology Ventures. He is the author of seven books including Rules for Revolutionaries and How to Drive Your Competition Crazy. He also writes a column for Forbes magazine.

Bizagi lets you include custom components through the Component Library.
Through the Component Library, you can extend the logic behind business rules in Bizagi, by including invoking methods in your components or bundled third-party APIs.
You can write you own code to directly integrate APIs, or especially to perform additional processing aimed at application integration in your business processes, as described at Application integration.
Before you continue
Additional integration approaches lets your processes easily use a generic SOAP Web services connector or use Bizagi Connectors, which enable you to invoke web services with no programming needed.
In scenarios where these features above are not optimal (e.g., to extend processing capabilities) or whenever the generic SOAP Web services connector is not compatible with a given web service of yours, the Component Library becomes an effective alternative.
About the Component Library
The Component Library lets you to develop or reuse APIs or your own class libraries, that you build using an IDE (like Visual Studio) in your laptop. The Component Library acts as a middleware repository of developed components.
Though it allows you to connect to web services, applications in general, legacy systems or databases, you can also extend the logic and processing capabilities of business rules by bundling libraries inside Bizagi (.DLL assemblies).
Once components are registered in the Component Library, you can directly invoke their public methods from the Processes’ business rules (from either synchronous or asynchronous tasks).

How can the issue of money be addressed honestly and effectively from the pulpit? Two new books guide preachers in defining a homiletic posture that balances the theological imperatives and practical realities that can make stewardship, giving, and economic realities difficult sermon subjects.
Craig Satterlee’s Preaching and Stewardship: Proclaiming God’s Invitation to Grow (Alban, 2011) deals with preaching to encourage giving. It owns the tensions pastors face in juggling the roles of preacher and de facto development officer for their congregations. The book then addresses this dilemma by outlining a cogent, inviting theological response to the critical questions of why we should give, how we should give, and how much we should give. Satterlee reminds readers that the primary purpose of Christian preaching is always to proclaim the good news. To avoid fund-raising from the pulpit, he offers practical hints: Let Jesus do the talking. Appeal to people’s better selves. Don’t coerce or command.
Matthew Tennant’s Preaching in Plenty and in Want (Judson Press, 2011) seeks to help ministers understand how the economy — particularly the ups and downs of the business cycle — defines the context of their preaching. The book offers a “pastoral primer” on basic economic concepts, encourages preachers to incorporate economic awareness into sermon preparation, and takes on the cultural idols of affluence and conspicuous consumption.
Both books explore the deeply contextual nature of preaching and stewardship. Satterlee’s starting point is a discussion of how the concept of stewardship itself must be contextually defined based on a congregation’s theological understanding, its sense of mission, and its needs and priorities. While Tennant’s stated focus is on the economic climate as the context of preaching, he explores with pastoral sensitivity how a congregation’s social location and preexisting attitudes shape their readiness to respond to prophetic preaching on economic themes. Preaching that takes people from where they are to where God would have them be is a process, not a one-time event. Counseling patience and tenacity, his appro
ach is nuanced and gentle, but not timid.
Both books offer practical resources, such as model sermons and scriptural citations. Preaching and Stewardship concludes with a chapter on how preaching can integrate with other stewardship strategies and an appendix pointing out where the subjects of money and giving arise in the Revised Common Lectionary. But
perhaps most importantly, each book gives witness to an individual preacher’s search to claim an authentic, credible voice on issues of money and faith.

The intent of this book is to avoid the hype and conflicting information surrounding the use of social media in organizations and to point you to resources that have been researched and provide the most reliable information. The content of this book avoids promoting or pushing any specific tool, as all social media technology tools are evolving and frequently updating with new features. What is right for one organization is not necessarily right for your organization.
This book is a starting point for general management, human resources, and organizational development teams that have not yet embraced or fully incorporated social technology tools into the organization.
What you will find in this book:
-Back-to-basics discussions about what "social" means in the context of organizations and what you should consider before adopting social technology into an organization.
-References to resources that provide charts, graphs, statistics, case studies, and information on how to use the tools, as well as the books that my research has shown provide practical and reliable information.
What you won't find in this book:
-Charts, graphs, and statistics.
-Details on how to use social media tools.
This book: A Social Media Primer: The Starter Guide for People In Organizations is now available for $9.99 at:
The book will also be available at Amazon later this week and through several other eBook retailers over the next 4 weeks.
My venture into writing about Social Media started in early 2010 and after many twists and turns and learning adventures is finally ready for purchase-one year later than my original plan, so it really does feel like a long term project!


عنوان مقاله [English]
نویسندگان [English]چکیده [English]
The present paper first provides a definition for ideology, believing that ideology has more of an application in media than any other human shield. After a criticism of the role of ideology in the post-modern media and the definitions which consider ideology at service of the ruling class and as a means to distortion of reality, followed by ideology being introduced as an inevitable issue in humanities in general and in media science in particular, an Islamic version of media management is modelled. Finally, the Islamic media is interpreted as hyper-real or meta-real phenomena which are beyond reality, but in connection and conformity with reality and inclined to the ideal and real. This paper presents realistic idealism as an Islamic ideology and denies secularism, which has a dualistic view towards the ideal and real. Moreover, having compared otology – initiated by Eghbal Lahoori – with post-modernism – introduced by Friedrich Nietzsche – the present paper presents the fundamental and ontological differences between the post-modern media and Islamic media, which seek to revitalize religion. In this inquiry, realistic idealism as ontology and revolutionary management as methodology are introduced as the two cornerstones of Islamic media formation. The realistic idealism has been introduced by the assimilation of the ideal and real, management and revolution, life and hereafter, body and soul, life and religion, and religion and politics. This article, as a model per se and not a theory, copes with the quiddity and quality of the matter since this is what a model aspires to achieve: it does not deal with howness. The whole article deals with the possibility of its subject and is based the thesis on the possibility of realistic idealism in media management.

The Documentation Centre of Grand-Hornu is pleased to present you an exhibition entitled « Plaetens Collection. From the shadows into the light », a selection of documents of which the majority comes from the Plaetens Collection on the theme of Well number 9 Sainte-Désirée and the Machine Building Workshop.
For the past two years, Roland Holbrechts and Jacques Vandormael, two enthusiasts of the Grand-Hornu, supervised by Celine Ganty, in charge of the Documentation Centre, have been archiving several documents related to the Hornu site. These documents were collected by Leon Plaetens at the end of the Sixties.
A little bit of history... Born in Borinage, employed at the Supply Department of the Union Minière and amateur filmmaker, Leon Plaetens fell in love at first sight with the Grand-Hornu during the shooting of one of his films in 1968. Since that, he devoted all his leisure time to the history of this grandiose site and its founder Henri De Gorge, consulting tirelessly notarial minutes, official archives, civil state registers, accounting statements... and this with an uncommon perspicacity. This makes him one of the most eminent specialists of the Grand-Hornu, unanimously recognized among peers from the History and Archaeology Circle of Saint-Ghislain and from History and Folklore Circle Henri Guillemin of Haine-Saint-Pierre. On the death of Mr. Leon Plaetens, a part of his collections was bequeathed by his daughter to Grand-Hornu Images (now the CID). This important collection contains many copies of plans and archival documents from all over the world (Belgium, France, the Netherlands, ...) and also precious iconographic documents (maps, plans, photos, ...) and textual documents (business registers, letters, inventories, ...).
Some plans have a real artistic aspect that make them masterpieces of the technique of the time. Therefore Grand-Hornu offers you to experience a wonderful dive into its past.

The Bible tells us that Jesus stayed for 40 days (Acts 1:3). Jesus continued to teach the disciples about the kingdom of God. He also answered their questions. According to Luke 24:45, Jesus opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures especially on what was written about Him in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms. This tells us of the importance of reading the Bible. We have to discover ourselves the prophecies in the Old Testament and relate them to their fulfillment in the life of Jesus Christ.
Do you know how difficult it is to read the scrolls during the period of the Old and New Testaments? In 1947, in one of the greatest archaeological finds in Biblical history, a nearly complete copy of the scroll of Isaiah was found in one of the Qumran caves near the Dead Sea. You may actually see the digital copy at http://dss.collections.imj.org.il/isaiah
The scroll of Isaiah that was found gives us a glimpse of how difficult it is to read a certain scroll during their time. Christianitytoday.com describes it as “Written in a beautiful Hebrew hand on 17 sheets of leather sewed together, it consists of 54 columns. It is about a foot in height and 24 feet long. The clearly written text is not divided into chapters as is the case in our English Bibles, but into paragraphs.”
Now, imagine reading a book in the Bible that is 24 feet in length. It might not fit from one corner of your home to the other if you spread it out. And you cannot bring it home, but only read it in the synagogue because there was no printing press yet. The scrolls were all painstakingly handwritten by scribes word for word. You may also add to your imagination how scarce were the ink, the parchment, or the skins of animals for their writing materials. But they were able to do it, and they also made a commitment to read and memorize most of it.
Let us now bring ourselves to the present reality. We can read the Bible in physical books, on websites, and on our smartphones. It is readily available anytime, and anywhere. We cannot really find a reason for not reading it.
As Jesus opened the minds of His disciples about what was written about Him, the Holy Spirit can also open our minds if we just commit to reading the Bible. Let us make that commitment!
May God bless us all!

Living in harmony with your local environment
Land Trust publishes handbook
A handbook to help residents do their part to preserve the natural attributes of Chelan County is now available through the Chelan-Douglas Land Trust.
The 40-page book covers such backyard basics as living in harmony with wildlife, protecting homes from wildfire, landscaping using xeric and native plants, and composting. Protecting water supplies, co-existing with orchards, and residential and controlled burning is discussed. There is a section on commuting, and extensive information on local recycling options.
A county map is included, along with a guide to recreation opportunities and seasonal outings. There are extensive references to additional sources as well as Web links and phone numbers for parks information.
The handbook features full-color photographs by well-known local contributors including John Marshall, Andy Dappen and Gretchen Rohde.
The Chelan-Douglas Land Trust had newcomers in mind when it designed the handbook, but long-time residents will also find it very useful, said Sharon Lunz, communications and outreach director. The Land Trust will distribute the book to new home buyers, and anyone else who is interested in a copy.
The Chelan County Natural Resources Department, the Community Foundation of North Central Washington, the Rotary Club of Wenatchee and Chelan County PUD provided support for the project.


TOP STORY>> Library vote on agenda for city
By BRiAN RODRIGUEZ
Leader staff writer
The Jacksonville City Council will consider an ordinance at Thursday night’s regular monthly meeting to hold a special election to pass a one-mill tax increase to fund up to a $2.5 million bond for a new library.
The ordinance calls for a special election to be held on Tuesday, July 5, and a positive vote from registered voters would generate about $165,000 per year to fund land purchase, equipping the land, and constructing a new library building.
“That’s building a good library and one you can expand on,” said Nixon Branch Librarian Kate McKinney. “That’s gonna be a good solid library that’s gonna last.”
“It can be a landmark to Jacksonville, and it can be a pretty thing — just magnificent,” said Mark Wilson, the Jacksonville representative for Central Arkansas Library System.
The proposed ordinance is a result of 174 signatures that were turned in on a petition that began circulating after the public library hearing held on May 2 at the Esther D. Nixon Library to discuss expanding the current building or constructing a new building. Only 100 signatures were needed, and McKinney said a page of about 30 more was left off when the petition was turned in to the city.
Officials pushed for a new library building during the meeting, saying it could be a centerpiece for city and that it could be the first CALS library built with wireless Internet capabilities.
Representatives of the Witsell, Evans and Rasco architecture firm in Little Rock argued constructing a new building would cost about as much money as expanding the current building.
“Band-Aids aren’t the way to go,” McKinney said. “This would be an incredibly expensive Band-Aid.”
Contributing cost factors for expansion included removing asbestos materials, adding insulation, limited expansion room, and relocating the library for the duration of construction.
Bobby Roberts, director of the Central Arkansas Library System, said the current library building would also need overall aesthetic changes like new lighting, flooring, and wall covering.
“We’re looking at a space that’s too small and a building that can’t really be modified very cost-effectively,” Wilson said.
The library was formed in city hall in 1959 with Esther Dewitt Nixon serving as librarian.
The current building was created in 1969 with 9,265 square feet and was renamed the Esther D. Nixon Library in 1992.
“We probably didn’t have a spectacular amount of money for the building at that time and it’s served its purpose,” Wilson said.
The average CALS library building, excluding the Nixon Library, is five years old and about 14,000 square feet.
In other business, the council will consider:
– appointing Pat Griggs to fill the unexpired term of Bill Gwatney on the hospital board.
– reappointing Bart Gray, Jr., to the advertising and promotions commission.
– an ordinance to reclassify two acres of land on Valentine Road from R-0 to R-3.
– and a final plat for Forest Oaks phase II.

Aug 14, Erin rated it it was amazing Shelves: , kindle. I was both in love with and terrified by this book. A parent's worst nightmare, no doubt. And I know that I was both in love with and terrified by this book.
And I know that my husband would probably react the way her husband did. I can just see it in my mind exactly like that.
It felt real and honest. And that's why I gave it five stars Also, I stayed up all night reading because I couldn't put it down; that also contributed to the rating. May 26, Karyn rated it liked it Shelves: favorite-writers , beach-reads. I am pretty sure there were tears in my eyes the entire time.
I received a copy of this book through the Goodreads First Reads Program and based on the description, I had no idea what to expect. The main character, Lindsey, resonated with me from her first trip to the home improvement store through the last page. Because of that, I expected the book to be predictable, but it wasn't. I read the entire book from cover to cover because I had to see how the family overcame their tragedy- which completely blindsided me.
Very realistic portrayal of a family in distress. Jun 22, Kathryn rated it liked it. The book shows the grief process in a realistic way from different perspectives. I liked being able to recognize each individual's moments of healing and change. It was an okay book. Jul 17, Michele Whitecotton rated it really liked it. I can't say that I enjoyed reading it because it was very hard to read, but it was a very gripping story that stays with you.
We Happy Few: Item ID Lists
I am the mother of a 6 year old boy and my heart just broke for Lindsay with every passing page. I spent most of the book being very angry at Jerry. I'm sure losing his son was hard for him too, but it was so much harder on Lindsay and he should have been more understanding.
If I lost my son, I couldn't imagine even getting out of bed ever This book was very well written. If I lost my son, I couldn't imagine even getting out of bed ever again. I really liked how the book was written as weeks instead of chapters, that was very unique and I enjoyed how some of the story was written from Adam's point of view. It was interesting getting the story from the 10 year old's perspective.
In the Waiting Room Speaker
This is the second book I've read by Ms. Muzik and she is a very talented author. The first book I read by her was "Apathetic" and although it was completely different from "Celia's Journey", it shows how varied her writing can be. I am looking foreward to reading more from her. Oct 12, Jean rated it really liked it. A truly touching story that brings tears to your eyes as you read it.

Choosing to go with the term indie was a bigger decision than I anticipated when I first set out to create this blog. In considering my title, I worked through a number of the terms mentioned previously, and I explored some of the ways that comics people describe comics. In this post I work through some of that terminology to help readers see why I choose indie.
I wrote this piece as part of an academic conference workshop where I tried to show other college writing professors and K-12 language arts teachers what zines have to offer students and how teachers and professors might bring them into their classrooms. Alongside the presentation—of which this was a part, workshop participants tried their hand at creating zines. I reprint this piece here knowing that folks who read Indie Creator Explosion aren’t the primary audience. I am sure that you know much more about zines than I get into here. Still, you might not know how or why a college professor or K-12 writing teacher would be interested in them or what folks in academia might be doing with them. I get into a bit of that here.
Below I list U.S. publications that focused most of their coverage on small press, independent, and/or minicomics and their creators from the early 1970s to today. This list does not include publications that featured only artwork or strips, though some of them include comics. The publications on the list featured news, interviews, ads, reviews, con reports, and columns on small press and independent comics. Oftentimes, they also included articles on how to create, publish, and distribute comics.
